Richard Ayoade guest presents the seventh episode of the 61st series of Have I Got News For You, on Friday 21st May, at 9.00pm - it will be his sixth time in the host's chair. Joining the actor and comedian as the two guest panellists will be broadcaster and writer Richard Osman and the former co-Chairwoman of the Conservative Party Baroness Warsi, alongside team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton.

Baroness Warsi recently appeared on Channel 4's Stand Up And Deliver, where non-comics tried their hand at stand-up for charity. Comic Nick Helm was Warsi's mentor and coach and despite their political differences it seemed to work out and Warsi won the programme. Nick Helm thought he'd drawn the short straw by having to tutor a Tory politician. What on earth would they have in common? Would she even have a sense of humour? But like some corny feelgood movie she found her comedy chops and they bonded by the end. Not that it changed Helm's political views. Or, we presume, Baroness Warsi's.

The satirical quiz continues to record in studio, with a virtual audience.  

Have I Got News For You, Friday 21st May, 9pm.
