 Very good first CD... November 26, 2008
AquaViola (Nottingham)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Previous CDs of The News Quiz have been by topic, i.e. taking small bits out of many episodes to illustrate a general narrative. This double-CD set is four complete episodes of the Radio 4 programme, i.e. similar to the CD releases of Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
Are these episodes good enough to spend your money on, as opposed to listening to them on BBC7? For me, there has to be a great performance by at least one of the panellists. After all, I don't think there has been any bad episodes of this programme, but to worth your money, there has to be a stand-out reason to rehear them.
The first two episodes definitely are. In the first the late Linda Smith produces a superb performance, and in the second Sandi Toksvig reminds everybody how great a panellist she was. Nobody really shines in the third episode (though there is a nice leitmotif of "Who am I?"), and the fourth episode was presumably chosen because it was the chair's last.
As I said, I don't think there are any really bad episodes of the News Quiz, so I wouldn't give a release less than 3 stars. But with only 2 episodes that I would have wanted to buy, I can only give this release 4 stars.
