No problem!

I think what made the Angus Episodes so damn good was a certain simpatico, an excellent conspiracy, between the writers and Angus's delivery. Perfect comedy is a mesh between idea, language and delivery. The team in those days was so tight in that regard, which, imo, few later day hosts meshed as tightly. Sometimes, nowadays, you can sense the written joke bombs due to the host.

Angus Deayton was the best thing about this programme.

Sometimes I think so, and sometimes I don’t - I like the perfectly dry, sarcastic, British, delivery, but then when the guest hosts came they brought a nuanced and unscripted nature to it 🤔

Love these. Brit humor shows........from MI

Thanks so much for posting.

I know it was new at the time, but I still find it weird how they talk about speed cameras, considering we’re so used to them

I grew up in a time when CCTV was relatively new as well, it wasn't absolutely everywhere like it is now. And ALL shops were closed on Sundays. It does seem unfathomable now.

When I was younger I liked Paul Merton more - when I became older I (past 25) I liked Ian Hislop more. Is anyone else the same - or vice versa?

I never liked Paul Merton. I also miss Deayton from the show, he was by far the funniest person on it.

these 20th century programmes are so....20th century innit.

Loved it, thanks very much

~8:34, Gryf went into a Pete and Dud voice, after which I was so expecting a Monty Python Dead Parrot reference. But it never came. That story was sooooo asking for it.

Is my mate out there to contradict me when I say every show starts off with an initial score of 4 - 4?

and a few years later Sky One broadcast Police, Camera, Action.

No, just ill. Did seem, for a while, that only three of the four panellists were going to make it to the end of the show! (22:50)

Is that short for GRIFF or wrong for Griff Rhys Jones 😲? The thing is Griff would need 2 hands 😃.

Watching in 2022 everyone had so much hair then.

No one delivers a dry, wry, sarcastic, ironic line as well as Angus. Those tiny smirks and faux po-faces are wonderful. And then his smile breaks out to join in the joke he has just cracked. Soooo much better than that up-himself, straight faced pretender Merton.

@@LoneKharnivore Yes, but I've never understood those who conflate a personal lifestyle with a professional one ... unless the former illegally impinges on the latter -- eg, a pedophile priest. Maybe Merton eats his peas off a fork. What business is that of HIGNFY viewers?

@Karen DeGenerous Well, the BBC only react to public/audience umbrage because the general populace consider his off screen antics as "news" and "immoral". His personal life did not impinge upon his employed professionalism -- so everyone should have just ignored it and left him alone. But Merton had some personal crusade against Angus (comedic jealousy, methinks) . Such bumptious moral do-gooding annoys me, especially as firing Angus wrecked the show, imho.

@@thedolphin5428 The problem was that every time Angus made a witty remark about someone else's private life (such as multiple jokes about Frank Bough doing coke and prostitutes, which Angus did a lot) then they only have to turn around and say "well what about you?" I think the guest host format has made for some fantastic episodes such as Boris, Brucie, Tom Baker (my favourite episode), BRIAN BLESSED, William Shatner, etc.

John and Ian look so young here!

...Am l seeing double...???

Done

one of the guest kept coffing, spitting , wheezing and was generally snot filled. had to turn it off . how disgusting! 👩🏻‍🦽🚽

BBC, please don't invite Rhys Jones back to the show. And maybe add hazard pay to the other guests' cheques. I was sick of Rhys Jones after the first few minutes tonight.

First lol

got a cough like GRJ has got these days you're locked up for 2 weeks and told you'll "kill gran" without a mask
