About this listen
Sandi Toksvig chairs the satirical radio panel show in this trio of series from 2012.
2012 was full of historic milestones - London hosted the Olympics, the Queen celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, and The News Quiz marked its 35th anniversary. Sandi Toksvig is in the chair for these three series, as the team debate these and other top stories of the year.
Series 76 spans the 2011 Christmas period, and sees the show getting festive with a seasonal edition and a panto special, Oh No It Isn't... The News Quiz. Co-written by John Finnemore, it features a host of guest stars including Michael Buerk, Barry Cryer, Nicholas Parsons and Kirsty Young.
With normal service resumed in the New Year, the panel take on headlines including HS2, Fred Goodwin's shredded reputation, gender equality in the boardroom, the Paralympics, Cameron's cabinet reshuffle, Nick Clegg's tuition fees apology, the Edinburgh Agreement on the Scottish referendum - and Hurricane Sandy.
