Broadcast Sun, 26 Jul 2009, 23:00 on BBC Radio 7 but not available on BBC iPlayer.
6/6. Magazine style sketch show that comically scrutinises the latest news. With Miles Jupp.
Newsjack is BBC Radio 7's new topical sketch show, which seeks to comically scrutinise the news, views and issues of the day.
It is a showcase for new comedy writing.
The show looks to be irreverent and satirical, a kind of younger brother to the more "grown up" Radio 4 topical shows like The Now Show and The News Quiz.
The Pilot of Newsjack was broadcast on BBC Radio 7 on 4th June. Series one began broadcasting on 18th June and ended 23rd July.
A second series is due to begin on 07th January 2010.
Anyone can submit sketches to Newsjack. If you are interested in writing for the show, do visit the website again in December when we will update this page with a Writer's Brief and details of how to submit.
Miles Jupp is the anchorman of Newsjack.
The regular cast of series 1 were Jess Robinson, Lewis MacLeod and Andi Osho and Phillip Fox.
Sorry, no programmes coming up in the next 7 days.
