HIGNFY S36E07 David Mitchell, Sarah Millican & Andy Hamilton

5 December 2008
Have I Got News for You with team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton

[@thequokkahaslanded321]

I watched all of the Mock The Week before I began perusing hignfy and I am so glad. Both of them are very different yet still so entertaining I am enjoying watching the same weeks being rehashed two different ways. The people they have on are relevant and educational as well as hilarious. So glad to be watching!!

[@janeeyre1990]

"I'll make it more Christmassy: I'll attack Santa!" That line always gets me.

[@sledge3581]

I genuinely forgot that that was Sarah until she started talking, how much she’s changed over the years

[@martenw757]

Had the same with Kathy Burke's appearance in the 90s on this show ; )

[@BugoHossBH]

She has not changed. She gained weight

[@user-jn1ew8rs8r]

she got fat over the years

[@JeffW2000]

Great casting on this one. All 3 guests are funny.

[@gracepadilla717]

Just found this episode. It’s one of my favorites. The entire cast is so funny.

[@richardcramer1604]

I'm feeling right proud about myself; nailed the broadcast date from the contents (recession & Xmas) before seeing 5 Dec 2008 in the description.

[@sharonmullins1957]

This show is the best, when they have the great mix of panel. David is great and then add Ian.

[@datgrrl5698]

bless, just a wonderful classic episode still so enjoyable, cheers for the upload pet :)))

[@laurentf9848]

This is the 4th random HIGNFY I've watched this evening, and Andy Hamilton's been on all of them... I reckon my autoplay has an agenda :)

[@simac3880]

KZbin algorithm's with an agenda... Never!

[@mrswinkyuk]

All got Andy Hamilton...So not random then.

[@samuelmelendy8375]

An agenda or just good taste? Andy is quite funny.

[@linrob1312]

I love Andy..witty and clever...he writes so many shows..

[@fredfreddy8684]

Your autoplay must be rewarding you for some kind of good behavior.

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Thanks for posting.

[@castleofsong9620]

Great episode. When Paul Merton is on form he’s the quickest wit on television.

[@GOREangelDM]

OMG look how young Sarah is... bless

[@oldgit4260]

And still not funny

[@shKmrful]

No laughs at all

[@whatshisname3304]

WHO ?

[@georgielancaster1356]

And David Mitchell. So young.

[@georgielancaster1356]

@Sir Scofferoff I bet she's crying all the way to the bank. Happily married, I bet she's so distressed that you aren't happy. Just ruined her life with your critique. It would be lovely to see your photo, just to compare. Your user name reminds me of the Beano readers I used to see. No need to say anything more, really.

David Mitchell was my gateway entertainer to these panel shows, Mock the Week, QI, WILTY, Room 101, You have been watching, Argumental, this, and I soon became a HUGE Fan (187cm 24stone)of Sarah Millican, I loved the Sarah Millican Television Programme. I don't watch Murikkkan Tv anymore, it's just Youtey and Brit Panel shows...

[@patharasown]

Same here

[@kjkiefcakes1847]

I want gonna click but this is a god tier panel

[@Victoriasm31]

I miss the days when we used to arrest Tory MPs, rather than, you know, letting them run the country.

[@distantcoff7391]

@Victoria SMC You should have proof read your comment before posting. You spelt RUIN "run" but I knew what you meant.

[@matthiasknutzen6061]

This comment aged well

David Davies --- hindsight is wonderful!!! Posted 26/3/'19 😂

[@markusaurelious1150]

I love Sarah Millican. And bloody hell. Last time I was in a Little Chef was my mates Birthday party when we were 7.... Yeah just listen to what this lot say and you'll get the idea

[@gaygambler]

Markus Aurelious she’s shit.

[@gaygambler]

Andy Hamilton is god.

[@oldgit4260]

@@gaygambler agree with both comments: Andy Hamilton is great and Millican is shit

[@icarusandtherabbit]

Omg Sarah Millican! She looks 14

[@CantancerousOldMan]

LOL!!!!

[@user-cx7te4su7w]

Shame about the Grammarly advert which keeps interrupting the video: it doesn't give you a lot of confidence in the product when the sentence which the progamme has corrected is still gramatically incorrect.

[@PokerJoker811]

The more I look at the comparison between New Labour cabinet members and the horrid Lapland, I come to think Ian got it wrong. I don't think Peter Mandelsson is the best example of a dead reindeer stuck to a shed. He would have stuck the reindeer to the shed. I think Mandy is the guy who beat up Santa, Prescott is the one who kicked off in the gingerbread house, Blears is the elf who went on strike, and I think closest to the dead reindeer nailed to the shed would be Straw.

[@MrCigarro50]

How can I obtain Andy Hamilton's "Search for Satan"? I have been told that it is a wonderful piece of reality-comedy.

[@patharasown]

Yes it is. Was briefly uploaded on KZbin. I too want to access a copy.

[@fredfreddy8684]

David Mitchell as a teen (almost).

[@fulkthered]

Back when Brexit was just a twinkle in an old man's eye.

[@GerLeahy]

Andy Hamilton is my spirit animal.

[@C0M0estas]

That's just so fucking weird. I saw someone say that about Reggie Watts. I can only imagine their reactions if they were told this. One would be nice about it.

[@heidimoulton2319]

@@C0M0estas Reggie would probably be stoked. Andy would probably not have been.

[@swanvictor887]

looking at the topics, the only real problem the UK faced was the Global Financial Crash that affected everyone. We didn't know how well off we were....pre-brexit. Look how far the UK has fallen in 15 years.

[@paulhudson8725]

Damn, folks look different now.

[@janeeyre1990]

Almost as if time ages people

[@colummccrudden101]

5:32, Andy has one VERY long finger

[@doesntmatter9996]

didn’t get the test card joke. they are identical.

[@mrswinkyuk]

Don't see that as a joke?

[@happivaras]

21:48 Animal cruelty is funny 😢

[@patriciaapetrone]

I was shocked by Ian's grammatical error with Andy. He said, "For you and I." For you, for me, for you and me. Thanks, Ian. You just ruined Christmas.

[@fionabryant7923]

What on earth! Who cares!!!!

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Maybe this was when the divine Sarah started to get really successful. Ian almost never wins, no matter who he's with. Add a milligramme of Millican et voilà !

[@probablygraham]

"...for you and I", Ian? An Oxford degree and doesn't know that it should be "...for you and me". No wonder Andy Hamilton didn't understand that the "lack of hair" comment was referring to both of them.

[@fredflintstoner596]

IT IS THE SAME BROOM ! IT'S HAD 17 NEW HEAD'S AND 14 HANDLE'S

[@peterkirby1753]

Putin bombing a neighbouring country... 🤔

[@paulwarren6105]

Lots of seasonal work for dwarfs / elves anyhow.!

[@digger65uk]

I absolutely love left-wing comedians. Especially all the ones on the BBC. They are so sharp, so funny with their observations. So glad that they have cleared the decks and got rid of any hint of right-wing comedians now.

[@Eisenwulf666]

Well, most of them are busy in parliament pretending to run the country, no time for TV shows...

[@georgielancaster1356]

I know of 3, but they aren't top notch. Simon Evans, I think his name is, Lloyd someone who sounds just like Rhod Gilbert, on the radio, so I am constantly feeling let down, when I hear Lloyd, not Rhod, and name's gone on the other. You're right. They just can't mix with the best.

[@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 ?"

[@louisbanaszak3125]

it time the bbc pay`s for it self

[@DrCroccer]

Jesús Christ this comment section is a shit show. Tons of people whining about politics or insisting that the show which just mocked all three major parties of the time relentlessly is somehow on their 'side'.

[@louisbanaszak3125]

it`s time for the bbc to pay it`s own way

[@oldgit4260]

Is it me or is Sarah Millican as about as funny as 3rd degree burns?

[@pamelacass9642]

It's you.

[@FallHuntsman]

It’s not you.

[@ormetube]

Anyone who says things like 'funny as 3rd degree burns' has no business criticizing someone else's sense of humour.

[@harrygato2582]

It’s you.

[@janeeyre1990]

"about as funny as," not "as about as funny as." You edited your comment already and still missed that Almost as if you are not very perceptive

[@judgeovyoursoulvo8685]

This was before comedy was discovered in the UK, apparently.

[@AanShovon]

holy cap sarah. why did you let yourself go.

[@janeeyre1990]

PCOS. Birth control. Antidepressants. Corticosteroids. Thyroid dysfunction. Just a few medical reasons and medications that can cause weight gain. All more important than your opinion. Especially when she has a partner who loves her as she is.

[@CashelOConnolly]

Hislop and the rest of them patronizing Sarah Millican, he’s still a captain on this over rated show and editing the hateful Private Eye whilst Sarah Millican has taken over the comedy universe Vote Labour kick this rancid Tory government out (23/06/2019)

[@anonUK]

How is Hislop's Private Eye "hateful"? It may have been pretty bigoted, mostly about "wimmin" and "pooves", during the Richard Ingrams days but Hislop put an end to most of that, removing Auberon Waugh, Nigel Dempster and all the other dead wood.

[@georgielancaster1356]

I share your politics but I have heard Ian really tear into Tories. I think he is pretty fair. I must admit I have seen a Private Eye mag, about twice in 30 years. I love his rants on Robert Maxwell. And Boris.
