“I used to enjoy listening to this programme but like many other so-called comedy shows, it is not funny. It is more like a gathering of self indulgent people who are just talk stupid rubbish and pretend it is amusing.”

“Is Geoff Northcott on this show? Comedians and journalists yes…but why him?
And now adverts halfway through?
Sad to see a great show sink this low.”

“If you’re into British news, or comedy, or podcasts, or comedy podcasts about British news, or quizzes, then this is the British news quiz comedy podcast for you.”

“I used to love The News Quiz , but whose idea was it to delay posting the episodes by a week? It defeats the object of it being a news quiz really. Duh?”

“Love this show and the fantastic humor and wit from the guests each week. I have known for years that Zaltzman is funny, but have been pleasantly surprised at how excellent a host he is. His ad libs are usually clever and cutting.
There are not a lot of laugh out loud podcasts out there. This...”Read full review »

“NQ used to be my favourite Friday night comedy but Zaltzman has made it all about himself. And bring back the more subtle comedians and dry witted political commentators. The news is funny, mad and crazy by itself.”

“Used to listen every week. Stopped as soon as it was delayed a month so you were forced to use the inferior BBC platform. Not missed. There’s plenty more No Such Things As A Fish in the sea.”

“The news quiz was always amusing in its old format, however now, it appears to have "celebrities" who just need exposure for a book, or tour, and the flow seems to have gone, the panel seem to want to get their quip or one liner in regardless of the validity of the comment. No longer...”Read full review »

“There are two problems with The News Quiz. Firstly, it trivialises many serious issues. It uses facetious comments, flippancy and a sneering tone of voice to transform serious issues into a parlour game of he said, she said. Secondly, the comedy is weak, the jokes are feeble, self-indulgent. ...”Read full review »

“As a very long term fan of the show I am appalled at the lack of respect shown for the subpostmasters in this episode. Not only were all of the guests disrespectful in the extreme, they were unforgivably unfunny. Shame on you all, you should be suspended and reprimanded, every single one of you.”

“Guests are still hit or miss but getting better. The millennial female comedians are tediously unfunny and irritating.
Andy Zaltzman is not funny. Not even humerous. His opening is banal as are his continuity comments and his closing is even worse.
The News Quiz used to be the flagship now it’s...”Read full review »

“Love the News Quiz - Andy Zaltzman is an absolutely superb host and Dead Ringers is pretty good too. However, The Now Show can be a bit patchy because although the hosts are fairly funny, there’s too much filler and some of the featured comedians are absolutely dire. Jessica Fostekew and Ria Lina...”Read full review »

“The download is downloaded automatically on 01 December 2023, but relates to the broadcast of 3 November 2023 why has it taken a month for it to be downloaded- as a result of the delay it is not topical as the news is so out of date - poor show from the BBC”

“Andy has the best sense of humor, combines satire with silly. And he doesn’t amplify the bigotry of his colleagues. (Expressing hatred for conservatives is not funny by itself and the very common mean-spirited attitude of liberal celebrities gets old.). So satire of the Left is missing but...”Read full review »

“As your Alexa says in the show, “please stop Dom, please stop!” Accidentally caught the second episode, thought the first was a bad on-off . I was wrong, so wrong.
News quiz may 2020?

“I enjoy all these shows but can’t for the life of me work out why the BBC have decided to delay their publication to Apple Podcasts. Yes I can get them on bbc sounds but the bbc are not supposed to be commercially driven so why force me to use their app rather than Apple’s.”

“I hung in there when they tried to get everyone to move to BBC sounds instead of podcasts, initially by delaying each podcast release for four weeks. But the latest attempt to kill the show is by intrusive ads as well - at start and at end of show, and the surprise ads in the middle.

“This show has had anti-disabled jokes for two weeks running now. Disgraceful. Clearly no empathy and no shame on the panel or in the cutting room. Would you make such jokes about MS and Alzheimers? Don’t listen to this if you care about disabled people.”
