Have I Got News for You BBC1, 9pm

Since Angus Deayton got caught up in his own front-page scandal in 2002, HIGNFY has had 124 guest hosts, beginning with Paul Merton, who stood in at the last minute following his colleague’s departure. Now in its 65th series, the BBC’s satirical standard-bearer shows no sign of slowing down, and they have a familiar face sitting in the hosts’ chair to kick it off. Charlie Brooker will be making his 10th appearance on the show, and his fifth as host. In the Black Mirror creator’s previous outing in 2020, Ian Hislop jokingly blamed him for the coronavirus pandemic, calling him ”the purveyor of apocalyptic vision”.

To resolve their design deadlock, Nick and Kunle invite them to walk around virtual versions of their home on an advanced virtual reality stages. In front of their eyes, walls come down, doorways and windows move and extensions spring up.
