Synopsis

Have I Got News for You = News. Important and found everyday.

They Think it's All Over = Sport. Popular and found everyday.

Never Mind the Buzzcocks = Music. Popular and found everyday.

Space Cadets = Science Fiction. Erm...

More formulae for you:

Greg Proops = funny on Whose Line is it Anyway?.

Craig Charles = funny on BBC comedy series Red Dwarf.

Bill Bailey = funny generally.

So for five marks, does Greg Proops + Craig Charles + Bill Bailey = three times the laughs? Sadly not.

You see, there's only so much you can "do" with sci-fi before the "yeah, I probably went out with that alien" jokes are the best you can do. Moreover - nobody cared. The funniest bits of the show was host Greg Proops arguing with his 2001 HAL style computer which did all the scoring. Ah well.
