The Mash Report is to return later this month.

The new run of the satirical news show will once again be anchored by Nish Kumar. Pictured is the team of Jason Forbes, Steve N Allen, Ellie Taylor, Pierre Novellie, Nish Kumar, Rachel Parris, Andrew Hunter Murray and Greig Johnson.

The new series will start on January 18 on BBC2 at 10pm. Apply for free tickets to filming of episodes here.

Nish Kumar, incidentally, will be appearing on the Question Time panel alongside Piers Morgan this Thursday on BBC1. When this was first announced before Christmas there was something of a Twitter spat between Morgan and Kumar. See more about this here.

Meanwhile topical radio comedy Newsjack, which Kumar previously fronted, is also returning to Radio 4 Extra. Angela Barnes will once again be hosting. The show will be recorded on Wednesdays in London in February and March and you can apply for free tickets here.
