HIGNFY New Series

Heads up starts tonight a 9:00. Worth the licence fee alone I feel.

I love watching it, but it seems so tame compared to the really old episodes.

Having Prescott as guest was the 'shark jumping' moment for me.

[944fan]

Good point. Nothing matches the Hislop vs Piers Morgan or Clive Anderson vs Piers Morgan arguments.

Or the Merton and Kilroy-Silk episode.

Thanks for the heads-up. Looking forward to it.

Please have Brian Blessed again as guest host

That was the best one ever 30 minutes of the 2 teams slightly stunned with brian blessed shouting away

Too many cronies in high places at the BBC that could have spelt the end of it.

I still think Dayton was part of the fabric.

Sometimes it works so well and guests/presenters just 'jell' and other times it really is an utter embarrassment to watch.
Anyone remember the 'Swampy' episode?

Merton has high and low days as well and some episodes barely says a word and others his off-beat ramblings really do make it.

Still love it and I dont think I have missed a single TV one since the start.


Over 20 years - blimey!

Yes Deaton was a big loss but many of the guest presneters are good. I don't like it when Jo Brand does it and the episode with Prescott was cringe worthy.

Miles Jupp is on tonight and he is generally pretty funny, particluarly if he is with Hislop as they ham up their "posh" backgrounds to good effect.

About time they killed this off.

About time they made it an hour long.

I thought they did extend it at one time and it just flagged in the middle.

Another 'thanks' for the heads up.

Afraid I don't remember that.

They do the 45min version with some good extra footage

Lapesed into 'Just a Minute' mode I thought.
