Each weekly episode, broadcast on Friday, dissects the past seven days of headlines through sharp comic commentary. Created by Andy Marlatt and Tony Roche and directed by David Tyler, the show features rotating comedians including Jo Caulfield, Richard Herring, Lucy Porter, and John Oliver offering their takes on current events. Jon Holmes provides the main narration, while Emma Kennedy and Ewan Bailey handle voiceover duties.

The series combines quick-witted observations with a fast-paced format designed to capture the absurdity of the week's news cycle.
