At last a positive thing about old age memory loss - I can watch a whole one of these videos, and by the time it's got to the end, I've forgotten the jokes, and can watch it all over again, laughing out loud as much as I did the first time. Albeit that's not too difficult for anybody with Have I Got News For You - it's bloody hilarious and controversially genius 😁👍👴👵.

Oh, I do like Angus for calling Gyles Brandreth a git. Pay that.

Thanks for posting.

These old eps make me laugh. In 1997 i was 23 and didnt watch any of these at the time, neither would i have found Amanda Plattell as gorgeous as i do now...one benefit of being nearly 50😆

Thank you for bringing these very funny episodes to us. New episode's are so seriously boring by comparison. Must be the politicians and brevity to blame.

Well just stop watching the new episodes - problem solved.

It used to be funnier, and I think that was because of Angus Deayton. The stand-in hosts can't do justice to the script. Ian and Paul's hating him probably helped the comedy.

The "sexiest Man on television" was SO not "alleged" ❤️😍.

Great show. But was it really true about an affaire between Angus and Paul's wife.

No it was just a gag at the start of the previous episode where Quentin appeared, and Merton turned it into a running joke from this episode on.

No. I think she was blindsided by PM leaving PM dumped CQ for a young woman he worked with, but a couple of years later, the new love found lumps in her breast, and had surgery, but wouldn't have any other heavy treatment and died, I THINK in 2003. But PM later found no 3. CQ later found love with a runner on Men Behaving Badly, 11 ? years her junior. I think they have 2 grown children, now.

Amanda Pratel is delightful, for such a responsible position.

Done

The woman on Hislop’s side once said that though she was born in England she will remain forever a place is not England. Making fun of our First World War dead. But those people are never held to account.

Oliver Bayley. There’s a famous poem by Rupert Brooke written in the First World War “if I should die think only this of me, that there is a corner of a foreign field that is forever England”. She was reversing the sentiment and making fun of that idea. There are different rules for some people. It’s like the producer of the film “Bend it like Beckham”. She was asked about her film “Bride and Prejudice”. (Note Bride). When asked about it she said she enjoys “bashing the British”. Just imagine if the reverse happened.

There are many things I don’t understand, however I was just trying to be ironic based on this particular episode. It would be far better for whales if Norwegians would adopt veganism and let’s not forget the Japanese. Well let’s just say stop killing whales for now, the Vegan thing can come later. There is no reason in this day and age for humans to hunt and kill whales and all other endangered species. It is abhorrent. I don’t think I was condoning this with my rather pithy comment. If you would please explain what it is I don’t Understand, it would be appreciated as I obviously do not according to you.
