I just loved it! One of my favourite programmes, I am still snorting with laughter!

It was a good episode but I thought that was down to the panel rather than the presenter.
I’ve never thought him funny in the least.Jack Dee does a better serious face while being amusing and was a good presenter on the show, but I also liked the ones mentioned by Graphite in particular Richard Ayoade who is always funny.

I love Jack Dee

I like HIGNFY but I don’t enjoy it so much when Roy Wood hosts. He’s very witty and I like him but he dominates the show so that the panellists barely get a word in compared to other weeks.

My favourites hosts have been Victoria Coren Mitchell, Richard Ayoade, David Tennant and Martin Clunes.

Yes, you have a point, but he was on good form last night.

Yes, we nearly always watch it. Yes, it was a good one! 👍

I thought it was great. As Graphite said Roy does take over a bit but he is funny so I don’t mind.

Did anyone catch this show last night?

It’s one of my favs anyway, (along with Mock the Week), but last night was a cracker!

PresenterRoy Wood Jr from USA
PanellistPaul Merton
PanellistIan Hislop
PanellistArmando Iannucci
PanellistAnushka Asthana

Great guests and hilarious presenter from US and the Trump section was so funny. As was the part around Churchill being “replaced” possibly with a badger, and the panellists reassuring us that no statues would be pulled down and a giant badger erected in its place.

Paul Merton and Ian Hislop were at their best and great guests.

DH and I had an enjoyable 30 minutes gawfawing most of the way through!
