'The Now Show' In The Press...

As the red-hot debate on how London-centric and middle-class Radio 4 is (or is not) continues to rage, one of the shows at the heat of the fire returns for its 25th series. Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis's takes on the week's news are the best in current satirical shows for thousands, but the work of 'self-satisfied, self-appointed, elite, liberal London tosspots' according to one dissatisfied listener. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. If you haven't laughed after the first five minutes, then switch off and wait for he Archers.

Jane Anderson, The Radio Times, 27th June 2008
