About The Fix


Are there people better equipped to solve the world's problems than comics? Probably, but shows featuring those people likely wouldn't be as entertaining as "The Fix." Jimmy Carr hosts this comedy series that vows to solve problems in 30 minutes or fewer. In each episode, Carr is joined by team captains D.L. Hughley and Katherine Ryan, along with guest comics, who debate and discuss one of the biggest challenges facing the world in a team panel format. With the help of resident data expert Mona Chalabi, the panelists are presented with surprising facts before each squad presents its fix -- a unique and comedic solution that is so outrageous, it could actually work. After both solutions are presented, the studio audience votes for its favorite fix. Once the audience decides which solution is better, the job is done and the problem that has vexed the world is solved... maybe. … MORE

Would you do jury duty in the House of Lords?

Feb 16,2020 9:18 am

By Kate WhannelPolitical reporter in Manchester

" Let's get rid of The House of Lords and replace it with a group of randomly selected members of The Public . "

That was one suggestion Put forward at a Conservative Party conference discussion on How To improve The House of Lords.

" Is it such a preposterous idea? " the questioner asked, as some in The Audience chuckled.

He pointed out that a similar system is used to pick juries In Court cases.

He also said The Method had been used - Sometimes successfully - in other countries to tackle political problems.

In Ireland, 99 men and women were selected at random to make a recommendation

In France, 170 citizens were brought together to consider the laws on assisted suicide.

Citizens' Assemblies have also been used to come up with solutions for tackling Climate Change .

Could that type of governance be expanded and replace The House of Lords?

In The Future , could you get a text from the government telling you that this year it is Your Turn to govern the country?

The Panel assembled to debate the issue at Tory conference - Put together by The Conservative Action for Electoral Reform group - and The Audience were in agreement that some things about The House of Lords need to change.

Perhaps a name change would help, suggested one audience member. " House of Commons-lite, " was The Proposal from Tory MP Chris Clarkson .

There were suggestions of a cap on numbers, amid fears that the size of The House of Lords could soon swell to an eye-popping 1,000 members.

However, The Panel wasn't sure some kind of postcode lottery legislature as proposed by the questioner was The Fix they were looking for.

Mr Clarkson described it as a " brave" thought, while pollster Joe Twyman said it was " a very good and very noble" idea in principle but in his experience " unworkable".

" The Problem with civil assemblies, " He Said , " is they need to be representative.

" They may be representative in terms of age, maybe gender but are they representative in terms of what you actually need, representative in terms of experience, representative in terms of thought. "

And, he added: " We have to ask ourselves do we want to necessarily involve in the electoral process the 3% of The British population who believe The Earth is flat?

" Or the 3% of the population that believe Fernando is Abba's greatest song? "
