Do you still watch Have I Got News For You?

[LilySad91]

I haven't watched it for about 20 years but didn't have any negative feelings about the show, just got a bit bored of it. I didn't actually realise it was still a thing today.

I saw some clips today of yesterday's episode online and found it surprisingly unfunny. But I don't know if that's just me - there must be an audience for the show as it keeps getting made. Similarly, I don't find Mrs Brown's Boys funny but I accept there are many people who do.

Do you still watch / enjoy Have I Got News For You?

Yes. It’s very funny. It’s always relevant as it’s based on the latest news, but there’s usually a good mix of panel members - comedians and or MPs etc. The hosts are usually excellent too.

I watch it with the kids these days. I always liked HIGNFY but sat stony faced through Mock the Week, which was always dire: really unfunny and pleased with itself.

Yes. It lost its way a few years ago for me but have really enjoyed the last few seasons.

Only TV programme I watch “live”.

I watch it and still find it funny.

Yes it's the only tv show I watch now on bbc

Oh, interesting! I used to love it but something happened to it several years ago - it was more about self-congratulatory in-jokes between the participants than acerbic comments on the news. If it's found its way again, I'll give it another go.

I accidentally caught some of it last night. I didn't find it funny, use of the c*nt word several times didn't appeal to me. I think it's had its day.

I like HIGNFY - but HATE Mrs browns boys, totally different humour

Never, it’s no longer funny and they’re too scared to talk about difficult issues, which comedy always should.

No. Past its sell by date these days. Had its prime.

DC1 and I think it's great.

I still watch it and am gutted that they've scrapped the "a bit more news" version.

I still watch it - I remember as a new immigrant to the UK absolutely marveling that this was a format that not only existed but was celebrated here, and how current it was. I find Merton less funny and more predictable these days but I still enjoy it and miss it when it's off air.

We love it

Same

Yes! Love it

Used to be funny but now is just too Metropolitan BBC woke.

I would like it to air all year round.

Yes, find it funny. Didn't watch it 20 yrs ago.

When did you first watch it?

It’s nowhere near as funny as it used to be. Paul Merton in particular barely talks some episodes and Ian increasingly uses it as a preaching box. Was much better in the Angus days.

Used to love it.

Find it insufferably smug now. Gave up after 10 minutes last night.

2007ish. Actually it was likely a back-catalogue episode on xmas day, on Dave, because all my housemates had buggered off so it was just me and the TV that day.

Yes I still watch it.

Depends who is on it as to how funny it is. Yesterday’s episode - why oh why do politicians think it’s a good idea to go on? They are so rarely funny, and just embarrass themselves.
