'Desert Orchid' was a grey (R.I.P.) ...not a black, or a bay, or a chestnut.

Bangerman sounds like a good name for a Brit who likes sausages. Or someone who drives a clapped out car.

Why was Prince Harry on HIGNFY?

[@LoneKharnivore]

...when he's running for a bus he'll get his other leg out of his *chauffeur driven car?*

[@johnlawrence2757]

Do we know why the BBC didn’t edit out Deayton’s plug?

[@lfcizdabest]

Which one?

[@LoneKharnivore]

It was clearly in the script - "Diana's getting a new wardrobe" was the set-up - and suspect he wasn't really doing the MFI voice-over at the time.

I wonder if my stalker will make a comment about me indicating there's a usual 4 - 4 initial score which seems to be the norm on this show.

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Trying to figure out Ian's beef with Maxwell - ran a lot through the early days of HIGNFY!!

[@lfcizdabest]

Private Eye ran stories on Maxwell in the last few years of his life to which Maxwell issued and won multiple libel cases. Maxwell also created a parody magazine. Hislop's admitted to genuinely hating him.

[@crangonvulgaris9820]

Maxwell stole much of the mirror group pension fund , beef enough for anyone...

[@lmm2103]

@@lfcizdabest anyone in their right mind would, tbh

[@williamparker1085]

your kidding right

[@slatibaadfast]

Done

[@thedolphin5428]

Paul is soooo interuptive, self-obsessive, limelighting, tedious, not to mention unfunny. I just don't get why the audience clap him so much.

[@lfcizdabest]

Because he's none of those things.

[@SimonWhovian]

Just hit the dislike button, and move on with your life.

[@davidcoombs3329]

The audience clap him so much because they understand humour.

[@thedolphin5428]

@Karen DeGenerous Hmm, funniness is in the mind of the beholder. I don't t find him funny at all. Yes, he has a fast wit, but I don't like the personality or the shtick behind the wit. There's a smartypants smugness, a strong sense of ego that puts me off him as a humourist.

[@MrSniperfox29]

To be fair, it does seem Merton gets annoyed if someone is getting more laughs than him and will try to become the centre of attention. He definitely can be funny, but his ego does tend to get in the way on occassions.
