Pretty much. You do need to be more or less up on your English politics (though they do world ones too) to get most of the jokes, but it's a hoot. I remember the late Bruce Forsyth hosted it once. I don't know if you know him, but he was big in the seventies and eighties, and one of his best-known catchphrases to the audience was "Nice to see you, to see you nice!"
So anyway, he was talking about the invasion of Iraq and he said "George Bush keeps telling us that Saddam Hussein has all these WMDs. Well, it would be nice to see them, to see them... (audience roars) NICE!"
