BBC2, 13 June 1981 to 30 April 1982 (15 episodes in 2 series, including 1 special)
While Have I Got News for You is often said to be the TV version of The News Quiz, it appears this long-forgotten series may actually have been a much closer adaptation of the concept, even starting off with Barry Norman in the chair. It ran for two series and was enough of a hit to spawn an end-of-year special.
