麻豆约拍

Comedian and satirist Ian Hislop turns interviewer as he talks to the writer and presenter Victoria Coren-Mitchell about her wide and varied career in writing, quizzing and cards.

Chain Reaction is the long running hostless chat show where this week's interviewee becomes next week's interviewer.

Ian Hislop is a long-standing team captain on 'Have I Got News for You' and the editor of the satirical magazine Private Eye.

As a dedicated fan and student of history, he's made several acclaimed documentaries on wide-ranging subjects including conscientious objectors and The Beeching Report.

Victoria Coren-Mitchell is a columnist for The Observer and GQ amongst other publications and has presented myriad documentaries on subjects as varied as The Bohemians and Mary Poppins.

As well as a prolific writing career, she keeps order on the popular and fiendishly difficult TV quiz, 'Only Connect'. She is also well-known as one of the world's top professional poker players and has achieved huge success at the card table.

Producer: Richard Morris
