I've not watched any old episodes on Dave, so this is news to me :)

Currently in the listings I see:

Have I Got News For You (BBC1 and Dave)
Have I Got Old News For You (Dave)
Have I Got A Bit More News For You (BBC2)

Is everyone happy for the following change as proposed by John:

Have I Got Old News For You -> Have I Got News For You

I think it's sensible to keep the regular and "Bit More" versions
separately-titled, in the same manner that QI and QI XL exist on
BBC/Dave. Thoughts?

Cheers,
Nick
