Synopsis
This is a news-based quiz with a Welsh flavour, and plenty of jokes from host and two teams of two panellists. The half-hour programme typically contains five rounds, beginning with some audio clips from the week's news, and discussion around a question. Round two is a missing words round, where the panel is asked to complete a quotation or newspaper headline from the week.
So far, so Have I Got News for You, but the second half of the show does actually have some new ideas. Round three invites the panel to decide which is older: a particular celebrity who has their birthday around transmission, or an arbitrary invention. There's a round asking about the various surveys put out by PR departments during the recent weeks, and the show concludes with a "who said that?" round of slightly embarrassing quotations.
The net result is a decently entertaining news quiz; by a quirk of scheduling, its transmission follows straight after The News Quiz on Radio 4, and What's the Story is generally the less predictable show.
