In this "Guide to Modern Britain," the team at Have I Got News for You attempts to guide you around, er, modern Britain.With reassuringly jaundiced reflections on everything from the global recession, religion and the Royal Family to the NHS, education and the media, it's a guide to the UK's most pressing questions of the moment and a handy primer to the British Constitution, even though we don't actually have one. (How clever is that?)Think of it as the sort of manual you get with a car - enough information to help you check the oil, though not enough to re-balance the steering.The "Have I Got News for You Guide to Modern Britain" covers these and many other major issues in an entirely non-judgmental, non-PC, non-party-political, non-tax-deductible, non-partisan, non-invasive, non-intrusive, non-comprehensive and non-non-profit-making way. It's guaranteed to entertain, enlighten and enrage in equal measure.

It's 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show. While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike nds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC. Flanked by his fellow Goons and bolstered by the e orts of irrepressible sound assistant Janet, Spike takes a ourishing nosedive o the cli s of respectability, and mashes up his haunted past to create the comedy of the future. His war with Hitler may be over, but his war with Auntie Beeb - and ultimately himself - has just begun. Will Spike's dogged obsession with nding the funny elevate The Goons to soaring new heights, or will the whole thing come crashing down with the stroke of a potato peeler?
