I always thought that Jack would make a good host, but I was wrong - he's a GREAT host! 😁

[@evieslovelychannel]

Agreed. I think he's great too

[@brigidsingleton1596]

I think Jack Dee is a great host to ISIHAC but what surprised me somewhat, is that Stephen Fry was a _dreadful_ host to it and so fortunately, had a relatively brief stint as ISIHAC Chairperson!!

[@jamesthecat]

...from thence the humour arose!

[@lordeden2732]

Rubbish his an awful host

[@sanddancer1951]

​@@evieslovelychannelThe show need someone with the same dry, laid back sense of humour as Humphrey Lyttelton. Perfect choice.

[@cjwhiterabbit1]

I think Humph would approve .... Jack brings the appropriate degree of "droll and disdain" lol

[@claredavies764]

Lovely to find this.... so many years ago. I was living in Lambeth until 2001

[@linrob1312]

Can't imagine anyone other than Jack doing this..he's been the perfect replacement .😊

This is the best version of one song to the tune of another. Bob Dylan and Demos Rousis. My goodness

[@MrDavey2010]

Jack is superb! Perfection!

[@victordevonshire807]

Great comedians. Loved the Goons and it led to this. Brilliant. ❤🤠❤🙏

[@victordevonshire807]

I think Graham was one of the greatest comedians ever. Absolutely brilliant.

Its Graeme and he's still alive! - I agree with your comment though 🙂🙂🙂

Jack Dee 'won' the host role after he, Stephen Fry and Rob Brydon each chaired two episodes in Series 51.

[@gijgij4541]

First as RESIDENT host. He was one of the guest hosts in S51.

[@evieslovelychannel]

Yep, but I'm limited by how many letters I can have in the title. I have the other two episodes of him up as a guest host, too.

@@evieslovelychannel I was at the recording in Huddersfield, just before covid shutdown, in March 2020 - Tim's last show and the last that Iain Patterson wrote for - what an absolute fucking privilege.

[@evieslovelychannel]

Wow, incredible. What a privilege! I've only been the once to a live recording myself. Loved every minute

[@MrTonyHeath]

And they thought that satire was new.

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

Jack is sheer brilliance! Worst ever host was Stephen Fry.

[@zapkvr]

You are correct. He stank. The show has such a massive legacy and he had a red hot go at ruining it

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Yes, but Fry's greatest contribution was his Uxbridge English Dictionary definition of Countryside as Killing Piers Morgan. Glorious!

[@johnsurrey7426]

That talk about a recession and a postal strike sounds very familiar to us in 2023! A totally brilliant programme as always! Thank you as always for posting!

It's spelled South Wark
