"Nobody expects the Spanish police". 😂 The best meta-humour!

Thank you ViVa for these. The “Bit Mores” are much quicker now. So very much appreciated from a Brit in Japan.

I also watch both, I like to try and figure out which bits are the extra bits

[@EnglishTeacher-ez1bo]

It's always enjoyable when Mr. Armstrong is the guest host. Thank you for posting.

[@timmellor2599]

I know the programme has moved away from the regular host, but Armstrong is a definite candidate for the role if they ever brought it back. Another that seems to go down well is Richard Ayoade, although he has got a bit silly on occasions in the past.

[@CUMBICA1970]

11:30 LOL "Truly blessed in the ear department" is the understatement of the year. He's literally I'm all ears.

[@kerlyenai]

I actually hadn't noticed. Now, however, I can't see anything else!

[@Adombom]

more like Earstrong amirite?

[@russjones4034]

Need to have Matt Chorley guest host occasionally and have him as a panelist a few times a season.

[@FloraWest]

I didn't know about him before--I really hope he comes back as well.

Thanks, need this more than ever with current events

Absolutely top shelf! (And worth the wait.) Thanks ViVa!

Ria Lina is always a top notch guest.

[@michaelgartly3753]

Shame we didn't get more from her on the economics, she's funny and knows what she's talking about.

Excellent episode - Thks for sharing

The one thing about the economy tanking and political turmoil is that HIGNFY is always better when the sh*t hits the fan.

[@gnomevoyeur]

How many of us watch this after the standard cut for a few extra minutes of pleasure, and how many of you ultra weird delayed gratification types miss the little one for the full version?

[@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

I skip the short one and wait for the long one, which is similar to why my girlfriend left the guy she was seeing for me.

[@jan-kjetiljess503]

I want to say Ria is underrated but that may be just me. Not living in UK my main access to UK comedy is BBC radio which is almost certainly not representative. I've heard her on things like Breaking the News and she's, not surprisingly for a PhD holder, very astute and always seems impeccably likeable.

I'm just glad the long version comes put right after the edited one (a day or two?). QI takes months to release the long version. I still watch both episodes of each show because I have the memory o a goldfish. :p

[@SuvinRK]

Anyone else notice the fly in the lower right corner at 5:50?

[@shmookins]

What's with flies and British panel shows? And they are HUGE flies as well! XD

[@SuvinRK]

@@shmookins Is that a thing? And yeah that's probably why I noticed the fly because it's so huge!

[@shmookins]

@@SuvinRK I've seen flies on many panel/talk shows and in some more than once. And the panel acknowledges it and make fun of it, which is how I notice it. Mock the Week and Graham Norton come to mind. Graham had it more than once. In this case I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out. And I am struck by how huge they always are. Maybe flies in the UK need to be big due to the cold or something? And studios have big doors in the back for equipment and what not. So maybe there is always a big garbage bin close to the door or something. It happens, but I didn't think it would happen this much. I never saw a fly in US panel/talk shows.

[@SuvinRK]

@@shmookins lol At first I didn't believe because like you said I'd never seen any on US tv. Of course it's probably happened but we probably would've heard about it given what US tv is. As for their origin and size, who knows? The bin theory does seem plausible.

[@StultissimiAmatorii]

Generally a good episode but FFS, let Ria be the one speaking about science.

[@marywood8794]

So the "brown" guy that they said that the people wouldn't vote for over the "white" woman, was right?! I mean, wasn't he the equivalent of our U. S. Treasury secretary? Why are we amazed that he knew this idea was crap? I'm not saying that either of the candidates were great, considering that they worked for Boris, but she is unbelievably bad. If I lived there, I'd rather have Boris over this...which is a scary thought! How the heck did they manage to find someone worse than Boris? OMG! I hope Truss isn't your Trump! Apparently, that would make Johnson your Bush 2! That's the thing of nightmares! Lol
