Linda Smith was the brilliant mainstay of Radio 4's The News Quiz, Just a Minute, & I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue for many years. She was just establishing her career on TV through blistering performances on Have I Got News for You, QI & Room 101, when she died of ovarian cancer in 2006.

This collection of her material, from her early st&-up to her radio days, is a must-have for any comedy fan. ...
