Format
The programme's format has been the same for both television and radio. It consists of (generally humorous) quotes (headlines and selections from the comment pages) from the previous week's newspapers read in a variety of voices and accents by actors. The quotes are linked by a script read by studio presenter who worked with the auto-prompt operator. The television version displayed the cuttings as they were being read, under the relevant newspaper's masthead.
Throughout its history, the television series was editorially based in Manchester by Granada Television. The radio programmes are recorded at the Westminster BBC's Millbank studios.
