Don't miss the bit after the credits bit. You're welcome.

[@rossmurray6849]

Thanks for the heads up. It WAS worth going back for. :)

[@sigil8386]

Much appreciated.

That's what the comments section is for! Thanks!

Thanks. You were right.

Ha!

[@mjfan653]

Paul and Stephen were on fire this episode, but the whole cast was on point

[@luminousfractal420]

United we stand. Were all in the same small boat atm.

[@garethwilkins6744]

Or were they terrible? See, balanced.

[@juliehughes1258]

They need to take their show on the road. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of HIGNFY. Best of Series 66.

I hope they have Prof, Fry back many more times. I really enjoy her.

Hannah Fry was great! She should be on more often.

[@sroycze9284]

waiting for the extended version has finally paid off!

[@idaslapter5987]

I wait for it every week. Its so tempting to watch the shortened version but it is always worth the wait.

[@AndrewTBP]

I always watch both! I’m greedy, me.

[@graydonwheeler362]

One of the best episodes I've seen in a while. Stephen and Paul should have a show to present a monthly recap of the news together.

[@hjelliottca]

This is what I thought at 32:44. They were playing off each other so well. It's definitely a show that I'd watch.

[@meganseklig7868]

The whole group was ‘on’! Such an enjoyable episode.

I hope this show goes on for many more years!

[@mockmonkey1]

Holy Crap! That 44 minutes flew by. The after the credits comments were worth waiting for. I'm suddenly having a "Black Mirror" flashback.

[@markc7955]

This is unique. All the comments are nice. Im coming here for my holidays.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

F off right now. Meaning that additional furnishings, such as moden popculture artwork, are not included in the price, this holiday season. 😎

[@jan-kjetiljess503]

Running for 33 years and the charm, wit and credibility of the two stalwarts is undiminished. In fact I'd say this series is potentially a highlight if a highlight can be picked from such a solidly high benchmark as set by this show.

[@garrick3727]

This was a good episode. My favorite part was Fry telling Merton he was the one wasting time when he was complaining. He moans about quiz stuff he doesn't like all the time, and it's usually funny, but it was great to see someone do the equivalent of telling him to shut up. Now that's a presenter who has given lectures.

[@angeladawn805]

This was well worth the wait. Thanks ViVaHD 😊😊😊😊😊

[@scajl]

Hannah Fry was a delight. Good job by Stephen and Paul, too!

[@idaslapter5987]

Who knew that Paul and Stephen would make such a fabulous team! Great episode. Thanks for posting.

[@PokerJoker811]

There's been a trend for the past couple years of recurring presenters being put back onto the panel. Jo Brand, Jack Dee, Clive Myrie, and now Stephen. The results are sometimes better than others, but it's always nice to see Paul seem like he's genuinely enjoying himself.

[@james_baker]

Professor Hannah Fry has never failed to impress as a panelist but give her the center seat and WOW! Nice work Professor. 😸

The line is: "Show up, throw up and bog off home." Victoria Wood, 'dinnerladies' series 1 episode 5 'Party' 😉

[@Venomonomonom]

So grateful for these uploads!

[@kerlyenai]

French viewer here. Don't really care if small details about Napoleon are portrayed inaccurately. However, the man was a narcissistic tyrant who left hundreds of thousand dead and millions destitute in his wake. That should be portrayed accurately. Thanks for the upload! Comment edited after reading @zigisambak's answer.

[@zigisamblak]

Millions, which is even more reason why he should be portrayed accurately.

[@kerlyenai]

@@zigisamblak Yes true, but what I meant is that petty details are not what's important (and France's right wing press seem to be focusing on that). Of course, he should be portrayed as the ruthless tyrant he was.

[@martavdz4972]

Wow, thank you for this opinion! I read a history of an aristocratic family in what´s today Latvia, and for 20 years there, Napoleon was their biggest fear. The city of Riga ordered mass evacuation when they saw a cloud of dust approaching. Turned out it was a herd of goats. Just tells you how terrified they were of him, even thousands of kilometres from France. On the other hand, I live close to where the battle of Austerlitz took place (now Slavkov, Czechia) and there are wonderful people, descendants of the French soldiers wounded there, and great international events every year. So every cloud has a silver lining and Napoleon sort of contributed to the interconnection of Europe...

[@romulusnr]

Honestly I mean it's not a bloody documentary, it's a feature film, when has a feature film about a historical event ever not been full of inaccuracies and inconsistencies? It's not reference material it's freakin entertainment, if you want historic accuracy read a biography not a Ridley Scott blockbuster. As someone who works in technology, don't cry to me about inaccuracies in entertainment media, sheesh.

[@brianferguson7840]

Not unlike the British Tory party with the covid crisis.

Ian, mercy, such language, LOL the subject matter demands it. LOL !!!!

[@livb6945]

Stephen Mangan is great

[@MrTimdriver]

Thanks so much ViVa!

[@censusgary]

Googling Hannah Fry, I learned that she has a PhD in mathematics, and is a math professor at University College London. I can’t think of any American professional mathematicians who have a pop-culture presence, but the UK has several.

[@AndrewTBP]

She has a very popular podcast with a geneticist too.

[@Mark_Brooks]

Rachel Riley.

[@censusgary]

@@Mark_Brooks Yes, another example!

[@addisonmartin3700]

That is because in the UK documentaries and science programs are narrated by scientists, who know the subject matter and communicate their enthusiasm, while in the USA they use actors.

[@ssgtmole8610]

I guess it is the difference between math and maths. 🙃

This might be one of my favorite ever episodes. Not only is Hannah Fry *fabulous* as host (no surprise there), but the other guests are stellar, too. Paul and Stephen form a pretty spectacular 1-2 act; I'm not sure I can remember a single pairing as delightfully synchronous as those two in recent seasons. Fantastic episode, stupendous upload; so very grateful to ViVaHD!

Odd that you say "most" since the way elections work is that most actually voted *for* Wilders.

[@steve470]

​@@JimC Odd that you say "most" since only 23.6% of people actually voted for Wilders(' party).

[@martavdz4972]

I understand, every country has its Wilders and it´s often a matter of several percentage points whether they win or not.

[@eastvandb]

@@JimC You must be American. Not every country is a two-party oligarchy.

[@davedevosbaarle]

@@martavdz4972 He didn't win a majority, so he must go bargaining with some of our other 20 parties to form a government. These negociations can take months. Chances are that Wilders will either fail to form a coalition, or he'll need to scrap most of his manifesto.

7:30am my time in Canada. Getting ready for a morning smoke. Perfect timing!!!!! I do love some topical satire in the morning! :D

[@daniellamcgee4251]

A 'morning smoke'? Are you a time traveller from the Victorian era? After your smoke, will you receive a cousin in the drawing room, and together, go for a 'constitutional ( a brisk long walk, for those unfamiliar with this era), to cathartically cough up the phlegm, as your doctor prescribed? It's just a long time since anyone I know has used that phrase, or smoked, if ever. To me, 'morning smoke' sounds like a phrase of a by-gone era.

[@jeremybirmingham2316]

10:47 "So to balance out a centrist politician you have to get a right wing headbanger in" is essentially the problem with modern democracy. The centre has shifted so far to the right that the moderate left seem extreme. Here in Spain the 'socialist communist bolshevique" government which is a coalition between the traditional socialists (labour) and the 'radical' left wing podemos, having formed government because they have the support from the democratically elected representatives of the people have been passing legislation, within the rules of the system, to try and raise the minimum wage at least to the poverty line, and protect women from abuse and murder, and so on; meanwhile they are equated with the extreme right (who are NOT fascists, they say), which is vox associated with PP (PP like tories) and their followers have been involved in recent years in throwing Molotov cocktails at immigrant youth centres, have called for civil war, have called for the police not to do their jobs when protecting the government from violent demonstrations, have supported a petition on a US page asking for the US government to invade Spain and topple the government. Anybody who doesn't think that within our democracies the right wing is more dangerous than the left, is crazy.
