HIGNFY S40E09 Miranda Hart, Greg Davies & Marcus Brigstocke

9 December 2010
Have I got news for you

[@icarusandtherabbit]

Miranda would be awesome for Taskmaster. All that falling over and looks to camera! Hilarious!

[@cannaweallgetalong7168]

This was a brilliant episode. Miranda fit well in the presenter role. Greg was hilarious "we can't have baby pandas popping their heads off" 🤣🤣 🤣Marcus too And the snowman theft.... ⛄lol

[@chezceleste]

Still funny...is it really more than 11 years since that Jeremy Hunt moment which no one who heard it live will never forget

[@xxx...pyxidis]

Bloody wonderful thank you.

[@susanelainesanner]

Made me feel good just to watch this episode. Nice blend of comedic styles, I thought. And Miranda! What a shining star Miranda is.

[@glenncheatham1320]

Greg is a riot! Love him!!

[@cannotfindmyshoes3]

No he isnt ! A riot is generally something that gets terribly out of control and ends up with the Police coming 'round and getting stuck in too. Greg is something else completely. I think he's great, he doesn't resemble a party or protest that has finished very badly.

I wish Miranda would do the US news every week - She could make sense of the madness

[@N37L]

little did we know at the time... the madness had only just started!

[@francesT5877]

Given Greg’s history with teddy bears it’s brave of him to even pipe up during that round. To be fair, Rhod Gilbert wasn’t there to shop him.

Shop him? Stop him?

This was a great episode - what a line-up

[@kyliejones8827]

Ian Hislop looks like Greg Davis's little boy...😂

[@stratobungle]

Lovely Miranda was another incredibly well-spoken host, and she and all the other guests were especially funny as well!

[@mrcurmudgeon6256]

The best show ever. Laughs 😃 all the way through.

[@LeofromFreo]

Miranda did a good job hosting.

[@kcirtap8120]

Thanks , from Germany !

[@t.p.mckenna]

I've been watching a lot of old editions recently and that must have been a bit of a producers favourite. They were all off a kind of off the cuff comedy anarchy

[@baoboumusic]

5:24 "live for 9 years undetected in a cage". Well... It took about 9 years to get him out of the embassy. Not the worst prediction on this show.

[@AndrewTBP]

Cave, not cage.

thanks for posting

[@mohammedomar4652]

really enjoyed this episode.

[@kevinw712]

how else did they think the show's lasted for more than 3 dozen series -- the set cost around 20 pounds to construct lol

[@martinjones5965]

26m56s - brilliant David Attenburough quote

[@DragonwithaGirlTattoo]

thank you so much

[@kevinw712]

damn, I was just having a conversation with my mom earlier today where I brought up how one of the really less evolved elements of humanity (and a trope used in lots of storytelling) is this notion that someone would rather look evil than at all incompetent. it's preferred way too often that you act like a mistake was intentional despite it bringing calamity down everywhere, instead of simply admitting you fucked up

[@papagarth]

A note : the author of 'Tom Trent's Last Case ' accidentally invented sleepers, around 1910, by assuming they already existed.

[@glitterbitesback]

Ugh, I laughed at the Woodcraft Folk and then actually looked them up. They look like loads of fun. Jealous.

[@hwelch2]

Did the same LOL

[@LoneKharnivore]

James Bond was not English, he was actually Scottish in the books.

[@sgtmajvimy]

LoneKharnivore thought he was welsh in the books ... guess I remembered wrong.

[@karlbassett8485]

Not originally. Only after Sean Connery was cast in Dr No did Fleming mention Bond was Scottish in the books.

[@mehulagarwal9455]

Another one of those English speaking stuff kinda things

[@annnee6818]

​@@karlbassett8485 Yes, that

[@emilymulcahy]

Still funny after having seen it 6 times, two of my absolute favs in it too, Greg and Miranda

probably the tallest show they've ever put on, Tallest to Smallest Greg, Miranda, Marcus, Paul, Ian. Miranda has heels on. Another Bigg Round of ThankYou Bowman Hath the Best, Always.

Antique Hunt? Is anyone pro, really?

[@karlbassett8485]

Shame they didn't mention that the disgraced MP David Chaytor was a Labour MP.

[@GuruJudge21]

Why? They mention disgraced MPs from every party, all the time, and they don't really make a habit of brining up which party they were in.

[@baronmeduse]

I love dubbed programmes.

[@lynnegee6814]

@F_Bordewijk it's the lipsync that gives that effect

[@AFrickingOrange]

Could you not bother to make sure it was synced before uploading?

[@santanamauricio]

like how they defended Julian A, one season latter they're all good with him being prosecuted like a dog.

[@slatibaadfast]

Done

[@MultiMolly21]

Since Britain has the train tracks all set up; why not design a private car that can manage the tracks with wheel adjusters and let people use the tracks to get around? The problem seems to be with the trains themselves; so USE THE TRACKS AND CREATE A DIFFERENT SYSTEM MORE INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIVE, QUICK LITTLE SHUTTLE CARS ELECTRIC ONES.

18:20 Behold a bunch of people privileged enough to go to university telling the world that going to university should be free.

Not the world, the government. How are uni students that were able to go to uni for free privileged?

He said "between Ian and I". He said "Between Ian and I". He said..... He said..... But this is a programme for educated people..... (Sad face emoji).

OMG! I can hear my Dad saying, is it I or me?! He was always picking up grammatical errors.

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

[@kimwild5390]

I’m drunk and even I don’t copy and paste one commentary to like 100 episodes of a program 🙌✌️ ps: don’t mention the war you ducker

[@uhejnjd]

Not going to lie, was interested in getting into this show....5-7 minutes in I am so confused with what its about or what they are supposed to be doing. It feels like their are supposed to be sections and yet their are no transitions.

[@mossy642]

They talk about the news. They make jokes about the news, the guests and each other. Only Ian (for left) and Paul (far right) are regulars. The rest, even the host, change every week. It’s very relaxed, and there are no transitions. That’s their thing, as they have a different presenter every week. Brian Blessed as host was sheer chaos. Nothing really happened and there was no structure to the show, same with William Shatner. The original presenter, Angus Deaton, who is host in all the early series, had to resign after he was involved in numerous sex scandals. It’s kind of like a comedy-political soup. It can turn into serious commentary at a moments notice, or never do. Or just be complete comedy. Depends what happened that week in the world.

[@uhejnjd]

@@mossy642 I can see that. I guess not living in Britain I don't understand the news so that might be why one topic seems to go for 3 minutes when in reality it's been 5 topics in that time.

[@marywood8794]

@@uhejnjd I'm from the U.S., but have started watching more British shows on KZbin, including segments from news programs. If you don't know what's happening in Britain currently it can be hard to follow a show like this. This is an old episode so that makes it even harder to follow. I started watching more British shows like this in the hope of finding more sane politics during the Trump presidency and still watch them as our politics have only slightly improved post Trump. It turns out we have some similar problems. What a shock! Lol If you want an easier current events show to follow The Last Leg is a cross between this and a regular talk show.

[@wanidaanderton4941]

Amazing, this show doesn't work anymore,

[@WhyMoi]

Indeed, if you're watching it these last few weeks, it has no life or soul left. It's empty.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Ah, that household name Markus Brigstock. I don't think you can become famous just by "realising" that you're famous. That's for everybody else to decide.

[@OP-1000]

I think the person who wanted him to sign her boobs decided that.

[@mikelheron20]

I remember when this program used to have guests worth listening to - not the same old bunch of comedians that turn up on everything.

[@cannaweallgetalong7168]

I remember when insults were more colorful than the same old thing. But that's how KZbin comments get. Repetitive in many ways 🤷‍♀️👍
