Michael Parkinson interview 2002 4/4 Ian Hislop 2

[@servicekid7453]

The Peter Cook story just confirms what has been said many times. That man was the funniest human being to ever draw breath. God rest his soul (though Peter would have hated anyone to say that!)

[@andrewbrennan7291]

Nigel is right. We need Private Eye.

[@ishman2006]

The question time part was awesome so was the story about Peter Cook at the mirror offices brilliant stuff!

[@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist]

National treasure is bandied about too frivolously but Ian is the archetype stand-up British chap.

[@owenfitzgerald3219]

Ian Hislop, pure class.

[@lizclegg6246]

I love Ian Hislop. He doesn't actually have much ego.

[@TheKingMacgregor]

I love the Mirror story. Doubt you could get away with something like that today.

[@IddyB]

I'd never heard that story. Simply brilliant.

[@ShainThomas]

I have always found Ian Hislop intellectually stimulating.

[@darrylellis9578]

Who does not love Ian Hislop. Oh I suppose grubby politicians.

[@KSRugby]

Mary Archer couldn't really complain because she agreed to appear on the Question Time panel on the same show as Ian Hislop, she should have known that Private Eye had been slagging and riduculing her husband for decades, and the fact that Lord Archer was in jail at the time, she should have gone in expecting to have her husband's name mentioned at some point in a cold but fair way.

[@hellhammer1369]

I think Lady Archer was under the impression that if she glared at Ian that he would stop the attack. Of course, forgetting that this was Ian Hislop. She is an idiot for agreeing to appear on a show with him, she had to have expected some attacks.

[@thehydronator3021]

arrogance breeds ignorance, ofcourse she didnt

[@MrDavey2010]

Lady Archer is part of the establishment who believes she is above the law and above criticism. How wrong could she be with Ian on the panel? Good for him!

[@allingtonmarakan1436]

She is married to a vile, lying, conniving little shit bag who, for some unknown reason, (he probably has some secrets to hold over important figures or some such), still has a title. That should have been stripped from him along with his civilian clothes the minute he stepped into prison. She must be similarly narcissistic and vile to stay with such a turd.

[@Intake33]

@@allingtonmarakan1436 And in typical establishment fashion the same year she became Chair of Addenbrookes hospital and 10 years later became a Dame. I have to say the self entitlement of these people is fuelled by the unfortunate persistence of the class system in this country - its a dame so tug your forelocks

[@IddyB]

Indeed. Perhaps she thought Ian wouldn't say it to her face. How amusing.

[@theinternet1424]

Nigel Havers looks like the toff remix of Mark Steel.

[@michaels1422]

4:40 for The Archer stuff on Question Time.

[@WilliamSmith-mx6ze]

Interestingly, Parkinson is listed as one of the contributors to 'Not Private Eye'.

[@hkeogh1]

I lov hislop - he's so dry

[@hkeogh1]

pity havers is such a tory !

[@IddyB]

I've taken to questioning whether things are true or 'Archer'.

[@dswabey]

Nigel Haversham, isn't it?

[@welshexcile]

ian hislop for PM!

[@GillianDoward]

😊

[@Sou1defiler]

Someone throw a bucket of water over Lady Archole, she was burnt so badly...

[@soeffingwhat]

Sou1defiler Mr Hat: Someone throw a bucket of water over Lady Archole, she was burnt so badly... Mr Garrison: That's right Mr Hat, The sad girl puts balls in her mouth! Lol sorry, I couldn't resist referring to your Profile Pic.

[@dswabey]

Havers * sorry, autocorrect

[@webbtje]

Ter be fair now, if he's anything like me, I get uncomfortable looking in anyone's eyes for too long.

[@77777aol]

Look between their eyes and that drives them mad ! A society palmist and numerologist Louis Hammon (I think his name was), stage name Chi Ro, met Rasputin and realised that the Russian was trying to hypnotise his so he did just that, stare between his eyes !

[@QPRTokyo]

Was the Cons now Labour......
