Hat Trick Productions has co-produced a new news-based panel show for Dave with Fremantle label Talkback.

The programme, called 'Unspun With Matt Forde', will be hosted by comedian Matt Forde and will feature team captains from 'Have I Got News for You' Ian Hislop and Paul Merton.

The show will see Hislop and Merton joined by a variety of guests each week to discuss the latest news stories in a "frank and funny" way.

Forde said: "I'm thrilled to be hosting this new show with Ian and Paul. They're two of the most brilliant comedians in the country and I can't wait to see what we can come up with together."

Hislop said: "I'm very much looking forward to working with Matt and Paul on this new show. I think we'll be able to offer a unique take on the news that will be both informative and entertaining."

Merton said: "I'm always up for a challenge and I think this new show will be a great opportunity to do something different. I'm looking forward to working with Matt and Ian again and I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun."

The show will be produced by Hat Trick Productions and Talkback and will air on Dave later this year.
