Quick note: A lot of the videos are getting blocked in the UK unfortunately. I might upload some anyway for those in other countries but just know that there are a lot of really good episodes that those of you in the UK (the majority of viewers) will be unable to watch, at least on KZbin.

Little piece of trivia - Ian had appendicitis during this episode. He'd checked himself out of hospital to do the recording. He went back to have his appendix removed after the episode.

[@patrickmurray1095]

Yes he said so ,in a later episode,.

[@RadhE-ug6on]

He handled it well.

From S15E04... Angus: Ian, you had an appendicitis, didn't you? On one show that we did. Ian: I did. I was sitting here next to Mariella Frostrup, and I felt this terrific pain... _[Audience laughter]_ ...and then I got appendicitis. No, I did, I went off and lay on a trolley in a corridor. Dr. Phil Hammond: Did they give you a rectal? Because the interesting thing that a lot of... Ian: _[Shocked, under audience laughter]_ I beg your pardon?! _[Angus raises quizzical eyebrow to camera]_ Phil: In my days as a doctor, it was routine. Anyone who might have appendicitis, they used to give you a rectal examination to see if you had an awkward lying appendix because they could feel the end of it. But they only do it now to patients they particularly dislike! _[Ian and audience laughter]_ So you have Hislop lying on a trolley and they're finding who's got the biggest finger, and they'd line up and the South African registrar with the biggest would go right up to the spleen!

Hysterical History, a comfy cushion for our current times. this Jewel Box of Thanx will have to do for now. ;-)

[@RIXRADvidz]

[@lauriesicardaskey]

I'm not going to mention it because I'll get attacked by a wally, no I will - it's the indisputable first score of 4 - 4 yet again for the 100th time.

[@RIXRADvidz]

this is the show where Ian was sitting there with a bursting appendix it was revealed in one of the 'review' shows.

[@thedolphin5428]

Kinnock was a decent fellow, intelligent, honest, good policies. Shame he was never PM.

[@theculturedthug6609]

Lol biggest sponger out of them all.

[@davkrod]

Bomber Harris organised the bombing of Dresden, Peter Sellers made a movie How I Came to Love the Bomb, Nelson Mandella organised the bombing of churches and school buses, which leaves Hancock as the odd man out.

[@antster1983]

"He's giving the lawnmower a seeing to there, isn't he? I reckon he should get the father drunk and go for a full house!" Brilliant line by Paul, and Ian's rant about the whole Alan Clark thing is just wonderful. Likely fuelled by the appendicitis plaguing him at that point in time, but still...

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

How do you manage to get the video quality that baad?

[@JoeK25301]

It's a digital cassette tape recording.

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

@@JoeK25301 surely a cassette recording that was copied a dozen times

[@ThisIsRiky]

How precious is that joke at 8 minutes? Feels like it belongs in a museum

[@theculturedthug6609]

It just shows how woke and brainwashed people like you are these days, it's frightening.

[@ThisIsRiky]

@@theculturedthug6609 not me.

[@theculturedthug6609]

Kinnock made it big time... Him and his wife and his Son have got all sorts of pensions from the EU God knows what else made a absolute fortune doing nothing that's politics for you though.
