The News Huddlines
Series 41
by
The News Huddlines is a British sketch-based radio comedy series that humorously examines the lighter side of the week's news. Starring comedian Roy Hudd, along with June Whitfield and Chris Emmett, the show ran from 1975 until 2001, producing a total of 51 series over 26 years.
Each half-hour episode features topical sketches, songs, and one-liners, all delivered in a traditional British comedy style aimed at an older audience. The sketches often revolve around public figures and current events, with exaggerated characterizations that add to the humor.
Roy Hudd, a seasoned performer from the music-hall tradition, brings a unique flair to the show, ensuring that every gag ends with a recognizable punchline. His ability to engage a mass audience with slightly subversive and mildly bawdy humor has made The News Huddlines a beloved staple of British radio.
