Never did think Paul Merton was very funny but Ian Hislop is a master on one-liners and usually just nails it.

I dont think it works as well in this format ,but Ian Hislop is brilliant at spot on one liners that make me laugh .If only there were more like him.

laughter sounds forced because of the various delays in transmission. It is very slight, but noticeable

And HIGNFY is a satirical programed

Not the news

So no need to worry about the show being taken off air

But I'm sure you know that WW2

Anger?

They seemed to find the whole thing hilarious.

I'm a fan of HIGNFY but the lockdown format doesn't work for me. The laughter sounds very forced.

I did laugh at the nation's sweetheart description of Dominic Cummings though

Absolutely. It was brilliant.

Maitlis must feel vindicated.

But I suppose the whole programme will be taken down now at central offices orders

Hislop absolutely lacerated the government.

He was brilliant.

Spoke for the whole of the country, except the Cummings and Johnson lovers of course.

The anger from them all was palpable.
