passion behind the delivery of "these two ancient fucks" is inspiring

i don’t like poop jokes but the tense silence after “did you used to eat your lunch in the toilet richard?” and it being interrupted by “sgt poopers lonely farts club” was so perfect

Great thing about getting older is I can watch these each year and it is almost like watching them for the first time. My brain only retains so much comedy it seems. Thanks U.K.

This is the best idea for a series ever conceived. I laugh every time & the college of celebs from Gordon Ramsey to Alan Carr to Jonathan Ross to Carol Volderman is always fantastic. Jimmy’s outdone himself.

The Malteser Meltdown is great, but at 23:08 Noel reacting to the freakishly loud cackle coming from the audience is one of my favorite BFQ moments ever.

The thing I like about the myth of pandora's box is, by the end of the story, Hope or rather "Elpis", aka the *personification* of hope, is forcibly imprisoned inside of pandora's box forever, without the "hope" of ever getting out. even more ironic is that it had to be done like this for hope to remain, because ALL other good things about humanity all abandoned humans the moment pandora's box was opened. Pistis (Trust), Sophrosyne (Restraint), Kharites (Charites, Graces) are the fastest to bolt.
