Press
A further flurry of current affairs chat from the Great British Public or, for the uninitiated, more of what happens when you put Twitter and the new BBC One idents in a blender. Going by the series so far, diverting but definitely Gogglebox Lite, it's a thundering shame that the US enjoys Samantha Bee, John Oliver and Stephen Colbert leading a topical comedy renaissance, while our equivalent is apparently two barflies talking about The Emoji Movie.
