The News Huddlines - Series 43
The News Huddlines is a British sketch-based radio comedy series that humorously examines the lighter side of the week's news. Comedian Roy Hudd, along with June Whitfield and Chris Emmett, takes a satirical look at current events, delivering topical sketches, songs, and one-liners.
Running from 1975 until 2001, the series produced a total of 51 series over 26 years. Each half-hour episode is loosely based around a series of news items, providing a platform for clever one-liners and sketches about public figures, often characterized in exaggerated and fanciful ways.
The material is presented in a traditional British comedy style, appealing to an older audience, with every gag culminating in a recognizable punchline. Notable characters include the ex-prime minister’s wife Norma Major, voiced by June Whitfield, and various members of the royal family, portrayed with humorous accents and traits.
