4:53 “I’m not mature enough to have a fully rounded opinion” He knew they’d like THAT joke the smug bastards

[@stevenlannister184]

Surprised to see James on this. He normally sticks to comedy shows.

[@rossmacdonald7033]

Not quite as surprising as you may think ~ Paul M & Ian H are clearly ageing and not as quick-fire witted as they used to be, so perhaps the show's producers were looking ahead to new team-captains in the future. Also, the show is basically satirical, so it easily fits with James's style. Just my opinion though.

[@TheFridgeasaur]

James would make a pretty good replacement when Paul retires, similar sort of style

She's a comedian, writer, actress, singer and active since the 1980s. Her show was the platform on which the Simpsons started. She won baftas, golden globes and an emmy.

Because he's one of the two regulars

It's unfair putting James on a show with 3 people that just genuinely cannot compete or work with his level/style of wit. He's just overtly outclassing them and their bants fall so fucking flat.

Mock the Week is just HIGNFY for a younger demographic. I'm sure there are plenty of people over 50 who would say that Mock the Week is a boring HIGNFY.

[@jamie7357]

Aske Lund imo Mock the week is a comedy show that has elements of the news and HIGNFY is a news show that has elements of comedy. I personally find mock the week much more entertaining but i suppose HIGNFY is more informative

[@maryannscinto8562]

I'm going to say that Jack Dee is awesome and actually has a straight faced approach to comedy similar to James. But I think he was trying a bit too much and concentrating to push the show adjenda along to play along with James :( 16:00 really shows how much Paul has been asleep at the wheel for years, I suppose if you stagnate and stick on the same show until you're old that'll happen. Kind of sad but he needs to retire. Play the 2nd half at 1.25 speed, thank me later.

The cost of canvas and the wooden backing means that artists didn’t destroy the work, they often painted over it. If it was to be destroyed, it would have only been the canvas with the wooden support kept.
