Grant Stott is joined by team captains Jo Caulfield and Gary Robertson in the panel game that pits journalists against the people they''re reporting on

Hold the front page - it''s Stop the Press, the comedy quiz where the points really matter! Recorded live in Edinburgh, each show sees well-known entertainers taking on keen newshounds in a bid to find out who knows more about their own specialist subject. Do these comedians, musicians, actors and writers have what it takes to stop the press?

Joining quizmaster Grant Stott are two team captains, Good Morning Scotland host Gary Robertson and Britain''s finest funnywoman, Jo Caulfield. Taking on the might of the Fourth Estate are intrepid celebrities including Ian Rankin, Sindhu Vee, Janey Godley and Jan Ravens, while among those defending the press'' honour are rock and pop critic Fiona Shepherd, BBC meteorologist Judith Ralston and formidable Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark.

Included here are all four series of the fast-paced, star-packed show, as well as a special New Year episode recorded at the start of 2018, in which the players look forward to the sporting, cultural and more unusual events of the coming year. With topics ranging from current affairs to general knowledge, it''s a good old-fashioned comedy quiz that''s ideal to play along with: so why not get in on the action, and pit your wits against the professionals?
