Episode description
With Have I Got News For You one of the last satirical comedy shows still standing, Patrick Maguire asks why satire on our screens seems to be dying a slow death.
He speaks to John O'Farrell, former writer on Spitting Image and HIGNFY, Matt Forde, co-writer of Spitting Image the Musical, and TV critic Siobhan Synnot.
Plus columnists India Knight and James Marriott on the nurses' strikes, whether we are living too much in the virtual world, and how many Tories does it take to fill a pothole?
