30 years after it was first broadcast on 28 September 1990, the political satire programme responded to reports that Boris Johnson has asked former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre and BBC critic Charles Moore to chair Ofcom.
On Monday, a tweet was shared from the panel show’s Twitter page reading: “So that’s 30 years then, but if Paul Dacre and Charles Moore take those jobs we’re unlikely to see another five, and nor is the BBC.”
“Turns out 30 years of glib remarks doesn’t subvert authority as much as we all thought,” one viewer responded.
The tweet prompted a mixed response, with some replying saying that the show’s best days were behind it.
