Have I Got a Bit More News for You S61 E8. David Mitchell, Rev Richard Coles, Janey Godley.

[@paulbazen]

David Mitchell, and your wonderful wife, should you EVER see this: thank you for your honesty and sincerity in your humanity, honesty and (broadcasted) ingenuity. You have the respect of at least one person in the world.

[@paulbazen]

Between this, and Ms. Coren Mitchell’s QI appearance, where she slightly derails the format to call out Bridget Christie and her actual interest and how it ADDS to the collective wonder, are highlights I can only hope to replay at the end of this simple mortal experience. You won something here. Thank you.

[@zigisamblak]

Yep, as a dual nationality dutch/british person who has been watching HIGNFY since the 90s... the format of the show just suits the killer wit of english humour better. Also the main problem is Dutch people always want to win when there is a win condition when on english comedy panel shows the only objective is to make people laugh and the less points scored the better cause brits love the underdog.

[@kroon1930]
