Have I Got News For You: Guide to Modern Britain

By: BBC Books

A witty and irreverent guide to daily life in the UK, from the writers of the hit BBC1 topical news quiz. What if the people at Have I Got News for You were to write the Home Office's Guide to Citizenship? The result would be something like this. Probably.With the hit show's trademark satirical tone, the Have I Got News For You Guide to Modern Britain takes readers on a comprehensive and comic tour of daily life in the UK in the 21st century--including irreverent takes on immigration, religion, government, the Royal Family, the NHS, education, the media, popular culture, the arts, and more. It's a book about what it really takes to navigate the complexities of modern living, from the people who know best: comedians. With an introduction by Paul Merton and Ian Hislop, this is the perfect companion for all fans of the hit BBC1 show. No journey to citizenship has ever been this funny. (Seriously, we looked at other guides. You don't have to try very hard to top them.) This description may be from another edition of this product.
