I do. :)

It's a comedy/news talk show. Example.

I miss Angus Deaton.

I hope they get Boris Johnson to host it again though.

I think Boris is a bit busy at the moment, although it would be good if he found time to do it again. Frank Skinner, on the other hand, I could do without.

Or they could try and get Moron on again. :twisted:

"Moron"?

Personaly I though the ones with Borris Johnson on them were hillarious. He's like the British George W Bush.

Piers Morgan - the idiot who used to run the Mirror, and had a long standing feud with Hislop. He was on as one of the guests twelve years ago, and got a famous thumping.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I seem to recall that he basically claimed nobody liked Hislop and appealed to the audience on that point. Yeah... ask for hate for one of the stars of the show from its own audience. That'll work. :roll:

Tonight's was priceless - admittedly they had a huge target to aim for, but that doesn't reduce it in the slightest. :lol:

And Rolf Harris is still bloody brilliant. :)

Andy Hamilton is a funny little fella.
