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?

Really? Have you seen Ian Hislop?

Watch it consistenly and find it very funny. I don't like Mrs B's Boy's but laugh out loud at HIGNFY

Yes, I’ve watched it forever and now with my teen DS who is doing politics A level. I also buy the Spectator.

I always enjoy have I got news for you. Mrs Browns boys however, I have never found amusing in the slightest.

Yes, brilliant stuff still!

I find it funny!

I'm not sure I forgive them for the Boris Johnson years though

You, Merton, Hislop and Angus. What a Christmas that must’ve been..!

eta actually Angus D had probably been sacked by then! God, time has gone fast.

Yes. There’s the odd dud one but I think it is more important than ever before as there is very little other political comedy on tv.

loathe Mrs Browns boys. The worst show on tv.

i still watch it - and miss the other comedy topical issues shows that have been removed (including Mock the Week on tv, and The Now Show on BBC radio), and the fact they have a dreadful host for the News Quiz.

Yes I enjoy it..l

I love HIGNFY! Ian is very well informed and not afraid to call anyone out. Please don't compare it to Mrs Brown's Boys! 🤢🤢😆

Yes and love it .

I still enjoy it. It varies week to week depending who is on, and what news there has been. But it still has flashes of brilliance.

I wish there was more decent stuff around .

Agree with whoever said Mock the Week was awful

There have been a couple of great stand out episodes of HIGNFY , the Brian Blessed one comes to mind but I don't watch it that often really. I am completely convinced though it elevated the career of Boris Johnson and led him to become Prime Minister.

Mrs Brown Boys is unbelievably bad, when I think of the quality sitcoms that have been made over the years and then to see this it makes me sad

Agree I remember saying even as they gave him a platform how dangerous that was. It was one of the few times I had an argument with an acquaintance about politics because they thought Boris was brilliant and I thought he was the most dangerous political figure we had

I didn't want to win the argument but I knew when he illegally prorogued parliament that I had been right.

Yes. For Hislop. We need many more satire shows.

I still enjoy it. Sometimes it's really brilliant and feels cutting edge. Last week's was good - Ian Hislop challenging that politician (another guest) who was sacked after claiming her phone was stolen. But last night's wasn't that great.

We love it's. It's very funny.

Have watched it for years, still enjoy it.
It can be hit or miss.

It’s far too partisan/biased for me.

Hislop and Merton are also insufferably smug.

@CurlewKateoh you’re right, no I’ve never seen him before.

We always watch it. Some days are better than others but it can be really funny.

I absolutely hate Mrs Brown's Boys.

No, not unless I’m at other peoples houses when they have it on. I used to love it but it’s been dire for many years now. Martin and Hislop rarely ever crack an actual joke these days, they barely even try. It needs a rest or a refresh or something.

No. Used to. Too pleased with themselves and biased now.

Saying that I’ve just seen Katherine Ryan hosted this weeks so may attempt it. I USED to find it hilarious but it’s been progressively getting worse for years. I also did’t appreciate them not covering the Supreme Court ruling.
