This is how it works: They have news of all kinds, including light relief but at the same time they have the daily headlines continuously on the “Sliding marque” as you call it for people who have just switched on and want to quickly catch up on the daily news.
Tim is a true comedy genius, you only have to watch not going out before he left the show and then watch it now without him... It's still ok, but it was brilliant when Tim was in the show... Biggest compliment I can give the fellow... Alarm Bells 😆
