BBC Sounds, Music, Radio Podcasts.

Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'm Ed Gamble, host of another BBC podcast, The Traitors Uncloaked.

But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like Ellis and John's Saturday bonus episodes,

The Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Rylan, and comedy specials

from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffle and Rommashranganathan. However, and maybe I'm

biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked. So for a whole bunch of exclusive scoops

and podcasts, listen only on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I am Andy Zaltzman, and this is the official news quiz review of the year for 2025,

a mind-waping, retina-burning, history-shreading, predictably chaotic 12 months of not particularly merry mayhem. Fair to say that 2025 did not

score too highly out of 10 in the calm, global happiness and mutually respectful dialogue categories,

but it racked up some serious numbers in political disenchantment, existential panic about AI

taking over the planet, and worldwide use of the phrase,

he's done what now? The news quiz year began with one of British politics most frequently

overbaked hot potatoes, as the organisation that has to cure our ills was itself ill, still.

And our first question can go to Paul and Angela. Prime Minister Kirstarmer this week

announced a new partnership between what and what?

Is it Angela Barnes and Paul Sinai?

This is his plan to basically save the NHS from privatisation by using the private sector.

Yes, clever that isn't it?

It's very clever.

He's laid out his plan for the NHS. That's what's happened to cut waiting times. It was quite interesting. He said he wants more treatment outside of hospitals. Presumably still in a medical setting, though. I don't think we're quite at a stage of getting appendectomy at Claire's accessories. But I think it's... Well, as you hope you know by now,

I have skin in this game on two fronts.
