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?

Was it you who wrote the letter about his sartorial elegance? 😉

I want to like it but find Paul Merton and Ian Hislop desperately unfunny and it puts me off even if I think the host and other guests are really funny

Aaah, Angus Deaton... <swoon>.

I do and find it very amusing, but the ongoing ‘token woman’ situation always pisses me off.

Yes. And read Private Eye.

Love HIGNFY. Can't stand Mrs Brown's Boys

Yes I love it.. apart from the fact that Paul wins every week

Yep now with both DSs and DH.

We still watch it and we find it funny and enjoy it. I love that it’s current.

Yes, I watch and enjoy, I wouldn’t describe it as really funny, more amusing, and it depends on the guests and host.

Made me laugh to see the twit above refer to this very staid panel show featuring old white men as ‘woke’. The modern world must be extremely confronting!

@CurlewKatethe Supreme Court decision was the biggest story of that week and not covered, I thought that was very poor.

Watch it all the time. Would never watch Mars Brown boys; completely baffled how you’d pair the two. It’s crass, racist, absolutely shite.

I agree. Very classy lady.

I wish they’d bring back Angus as the regular host. When you think of all the shite our trusted politicians pull these days, it seems so tame in comparison.

Completely agree, remains one of the best things on the BBC.

Was her dad the original, or an early, and longtime presenter of The News Quiz on radio? Before Sandi Toksvig?

That's a shame. It improved a lot later on. I was in stitches.

I hadn't watched it for years and have picked it up again recently and still find it funny. I also enjoy QI and loved Mock the Week.

That's the kind of humour that appeals to me.

Yes I still watch it sometimes

Paul Merton is quieter these days and it’s certainly less edgy that it used to be. It still entertaining

I still like it, particularly when there’s a good mix of presenter and guests. But I don’t like the way self serving politicians use it to raise their profiles and appeal to the public like Boris Johnson, Andrea Jenkyn etc.

Its the BBC. They only cover pro-trans trans issues. Confirmed this week by a whistleblower.

On and off.

I t isn't really a competition though is it? I never notice who has won.

It's a fix, you won't find any logic to it.

Its 100% scripted. Total load of crap
