I really enjoyed and miss the Angus Deayton era, he was a brilliant host. The show was never quite the same after he was "retired"

Would love to see complete episodes from this era.

27 years later and Merton has barely changed

I remember that actor line. Richard Wilson was always a great guest.

"I'm jolly mean" after Iraq this seems prophetic

"The Last Labour Landslide?" You forgot 2001.

Bring back Angus, no one has done it better

Those graphics on the side of the screen are seriously ugly and it makes the image difficult to focus on. Just leave black bars on the sides - audiences generally understand that old TV footage is shot 4:3 anyway. Plus, it makes the footage look more authentic.

Who remembers the Forde report?

I remember the line about Portillo from seeing it on the night!

Angus should come back, it's been 20 years since the cocaine and hooker "scandal" most politicians have done worse and we give them a pass

The 3 captions things at the end in hindesight is like pre meme memes

We should have had the show on, on Friday night.

Brilliant show

Apart from the cocaine/hooker 'incident' of 2002, Angus Deayton was the best presenter of this show. Some of the hosts did far worse than Angus....Boris Johnson, for example.

Shame they didn't do special for 2024 election. I look forward to these specials.

Angus was the best. It was never right after that.

Hasn't been funny for 20 years.
