Award-winning satirist Nish Kumar shines his spotlight of truth on the biggest news stories, in the hope of showing them up for what they really are.
We all like to think we know about the news and yet, whilst jokes about Boris Johnson's haircut are all well and good, do you still have that nagging suspicion there's important things going on beneath the headlines you'd like to know about? Well, help is at hand! Nish Kumar is here to cast his spotlight on the week's most talked about news items, taking an in-depth look at the biggest stories from the past seven days to scrutinise what's actually going on beneath the bluster.
Recorded on the day of transmission, tonight on Spotlight Tonight, tonight - we look at today's news that the government have u-turned on parts of the budget, Trump's tax return and something's happening on the Korean Peninsula, but we're not entirely sure.
Starring Nish Kumar, Sarah Campbell and George Fouracres.
Written by Ed Amsden & Tom Coles, Sarah Campbell, Max Davis, Gabby Hutchinson-Crouch, Nish Kumar, and Tom Neenan.
It was produced by Matt Stronge and was a BBC Studios Production.
