Looking for Aristotle

Oliver is an involuntarily retired professor with a yen for Beethoven, Jazz and puzzles of all kinds. Diane Priest is a WPC (Woman Police Constable) whose suspicions about a superior officer get her booted from the force. They team up on a journey that Oliver thinks will lead to love, since Diane's statement "Diane, not Priest" is an anagram for "predestination." She thinks he's a loony, but is intrigued by his promise to tell her "the very funny thing I know about sex."

Have I Got News for You

Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants. The final touches of Have I Got News for You are put together only hours before recording, allowing guests to comment on the late-breaking news stories of the day.
