Legends <3 Well, some of them anyway o.O;

What is it?

It is of course, the funniest piss take show on this planet. Hence the earth *points up* I supposerai.
Basically, 7 men (two teams of three, and the host) look at the past weeks news and ridicules it.
Some would say it's the same as 'Have I Got News For You?' and 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?', to them I say; Bull the fuck shit.
For one thing, it's funnier. For another thing, it's err...Funnier o.O

The Regulars

Dara Ó Briain - Host
Hugh Dennis
Frankie Boyle
Andy Parsons
Russell Howard

The Games

Headliners

This round is played by all the players. In this round, a photo of someone famous in the news is given, along with the initial letters of a newspaper headline. The players have to guess what the headline is.

Between the Lines

In this round, Frankie tries to impersonate someone in the news that week giving a press conference. Hugh tells us what the person is really saying. The best performance wins

Newsreel aka Royal Commentary

This round is played by two players, one from each side. In this round, a piece of news footage is played with no sound. The players have to act out what each person is saying, normally having no relationship to what the incident really is. The best performance wins.
Recently, this round was replaced with one called Royal Commentary with only Hugh playing, where he provides a commentary on a royal event.

Spinning the News

On the TV is a, "Random News Generator," with several topics on it. A topic (such as the Olympics, the police, Scotland, the health service, etc) is picked at random, and one of the players has to perform a piece on the topic it has landed on. If Dara judges that he/she has got a big enough laugh, then he/she gets to sit down again. The first team to have all their players sitting down wins. If one player from each team is left, then it goes to sudden death. A random topic is picked and both players have to perform on that piece. The one who gets the biggest laughs wins. In series 3, it was changed so that the last player was given a different topic which they would have to speak on.

If this is the answer, what is the question?

This round is played by all the players. In this round, a set of six categories is given to the players, covering topics such as sport, health, home affairs, world news, and the environment. Behind each topic is an answer, and the players have to try and guess what the question was.

Scenes we'd like to see

Traditionally the final round in the show. This game takes place in the Performance Area, and is played by everyone. In this round, the players are given a scenario for an event which is almost certain never to happen, and the players give their suggestions to the scenario if it were to happen.
