Once upon a time this was the most fantastic satirical news show. As it aged it gradually got tired of itself and degenerated to a point that it is no longer recognisable. There isn't any smart satire any more, it is just cheap digs at politicians, occasional rude words, penis references and forced jokes about meme pictures read out by a string of guest hosts.
Losing Angus Deayton was the beginning of the end for the show but in more recent years it has taken a much more significant nose dive in quality. The current state of world politics and clickbait journalism should lend itself to good satire, that they can't manage anything beyond 'Trump is stupid', 'Tories are evil' is just a waste of air time.
