Have I Got News For You starts it's 59th series with a social distancing show.
Steph McGovern hosts the show, she's a TV presenter who has hosted the show a few times. Each episode has a different host, it's been that way since the regular host left after some personal choices he made became public.
The comical news quiz started back in 1990 and this is the 516th episode. Ian Hislop, editor of Private Eye magazine, is one of the team regulars and he's not missed an episode yet. He even checked himself out of the hospital before his appendix operation, did the show, went back to the hospital and had the operation.
Comedian Paul Merton is the other team regular, he's missed a good few episodes even though he was there from the beginning.
They are joined by journalist Helen Lewis and comedian Miles Jupp. It's not as polished looking as a studio episode, everyone has to do their own hair and make up, but there were some entertaining things said.
