HIGNFY

[944fan]

Just a heads up, back on tonight BBC1 9:00PM.

That is all.

Thanks.

Clare Balding hosting, with Ken Livingstone and Graham Linehan. Ken should be interesting with Boris at the conference this week

Yes very self justifying and making sure their BBC contracts get renewed

Fair few tumbleweed moments; the scriptwriters need a rocket. Ken might as well not be there.

I like the way it has the confidence to not be funny and discuss a topic seriously for 5 mins.
Graham has already started his collection of badges going on Twitter.

I am looking forward to the time the 6 o clock news has the confidence to do a 5 minute comedy slot

Good stuff. only I have to wait till someone puts it on you tube.

when he said that I had a thought and looked on Ebay to see what they are going for/see if anyone is now trying to off load theirs. There are quite a few on there all well over £100, I was quite surprised.

It doesn't have to be 'nice' to be collectible, people collect Nazi stuff after all.

I think HIGNFY was all a bit too serious. The Daily Soov part, while worthy of discussion, had very little to do with anything.

I think they handled sexual abuse in a sensitive, intelligent and worthwhile way. It's not like they have it every week, but I appreciated the change in mood. Each to their own

Ken Livingstone:
Good if he wasn't anywhere.

It's relevant as the media are massively hypocritical.

I agree; they couldn't ignore it, especially given the fake transcript bks; the actual footage of that show was interesting(and nauseating).

To be fair, a newspaper which has the gaul to rant and rave about Saville whilst dribbling over teenage girls (and posting a colossal number of articles - with pictures - about them on its website) is pretty embarrassing.

I quite like commenting "How's your campaign about the de-sexualisation of women going, Daily Mail?" on their questionable articles.

Oddly it never gets published...

I thought the joke a brilliant piss take, really very good and quite cutting. Had that exact same joke been by someone with comic ability, the audience would have been laughing.

She's a straight man, not a funny man; if the script monkeys had actually written lines for that kind of delivery they might have got laughs. Blaming her for not being Angus Deayton or Alexander Armstrong is a bit rich.

Me too - I thought it would have been available on i-player but seems it isn't.
