[@angelicalicari8355]

I've always liked Rhys, but he was on fire this episode. He's really grown confident in his comedy!

[@xCarleex]

He had so many applauses.

[@kevinw712]

the only kinda "criticism" that I'd have for him, it's more just behavioral (I'm no comedy expert) I think he could use to do a better job of shrouding the laughter at his own jokes. I don't mind comics doing that to a degree and I get it, but most hide it a little better. like if you really visually linger in whatever the emotion was of your punchline (incredulous, disgusted, confused, etc), after you deliver you can then get more get away with a giggle, cause then it's like you're just laughing along with everyone else. But, unfortunately since he's got sort of a natural smarmy looking expression anyway, it looks like he's just proud of himself. I don't know if anyone will even get what I'm talking about, I know it's a very specific, subtle thing lol

[@lucymaybe]

@@kevinw712 I did notice that, but he might not feel like overthinking what his face looks like, probably busy thinking of another joke and excited about it :D

[@chickenfdisoruhg4915]

@@kevinw712 Nah dude, I get exactly what you mean by this. He does keep the same, as you said, a sort of smarmy facial expression at most times rather than just staying in one emotion to allow laughs to continue.

[@artinheaven4572]

It's easy when you're given a script as he clearly was, just like the rest of the 'comedians' on this show always have been.

[@sandrahochstein1196]

I discovered MTW on youtube at the start of the pandemic in 2020. It led me to many other marvelous British comedy shows like HIGNFY, QI, Taskmaster, Last Leg, WILTY, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. Those programs got me through the isolation and fear of the last 2 years. Many thanks to Dara, Hugh, et al. I'm very sorry to see your show end.

[@scotthodgins7975]

Same here. I have binge watched the entire series. Just wish it would go on.

Same history here, except starting earlier. Do you listen to Elis James and John Robins on BBC 5? I listen thru Tune In Radio on my phone. Not a panel show, but very funny, and touching at times.

[@Sasha-1313]

“Have I Got News For You” The latest series just started.

[@macktlo9]

@@Sasha-1313 I've tried watching it, but I found it a bit too dry & unrelatable. Any episode you'd recommend?

[@LolTollhurst]

@@macktlo9 the one with Brian Blessed. Normally Hignfy is the best when they have a politician on and just make fun of them to their face, but if the show don't end up working for you at least you will have seen the unbelievable episode.

[@garfreeek]

The Russell Howard hour... Or something along those lines. He's been doing his news shows for years, and they're also a good laugh usually!

[@homagetogorto]

If you do podcasts, The Bugle is a good bet.

[@barefootkiwi3026]

3:45 I thought Charles' new name was "The King formerly known as Prince"

[@notused.]

Brilliant

[@CurrieNerd]

Angela's new hair cut looks great :)

[@rossyoung8892]

If you tuned in to this episode when Alasdair and Josh were doing the stand up challenge you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd just turned over to a documentary about Roadies who worked with Jethro Tull

[@supersts7628]

Alasdair defo plays the flute

[@dnf-dead]

Is Jethro Tull part of the band?.... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@LunaTrimming]

This show has been a part of my life since I was 11. In the early days I may not have been able to understand half of the jokes, but nevertheless I was always roaring with laughter. Hugh and Dara have been the backbone of this show and I felt it was such a privilege to have met Hugh a few years ago just by lucky chance. I will miss this show terribly and I was gutted to hear they are cancelling it even though it is still going strong and similar shows like Have I Got News For You (also good) are still airing (why can't MTW continue for 30 years?). But hey ho maybe they'll bring back (I hope they will) and maybe Dave will pick it up. BBC might not want the show anymore but it is still worth putting on TV when it has been the starting point of many brilliant comedians' careers. We shall miss you Mock the Week.

[@seanheeney4517]

Same ❤ 😢 (except for meeting Hugh!)

I love when one of them said "Charles can only move one square each"

[@stewartmcrae8007]

It was that woman who said it not Angela Barnes who is on it all the time the younger one it wasn't really that funny but I enjoyed it even though the others didn't really react

[@dnf-dead]

Dave should pick this series up like they did with Red Dwarf

[@TheBagwell269]

I think it would be hilarious if they were able to get the same cast from the first episode for the last

[@jesseberg3271]

There's a decent chance someone is dead by now.

[@igamarurbytes]

Well Linda Smith and Jeremy Hardy are dead, so that’d be a challenge but I’d LOVE it if John Oliver did turn up

[@tsnap4]

On the last episode, one of the Scenes We'd Like to See needs to be something like "What you've always wanted to tell Dara."

[@Robin-cf9ts]

So the executives at the BBC, who over the last few years have had more connections and donor relationships with the conservative party, then I would consider to be healthy, have cancelled late night mash and now mock the week to make room for new programs. Well folks get ready for remakes of 'Terry and June' and 'To the manor born'

Just put ':The ghetto stories' at the end of those and you'd be right.

the world leader bus driver bit was hilarious, though it did make me seriously wonder that if for an isolated task like that, they just replace the usual driver with one of their own secret service agents or something. if all that it is is driving a pre-set route.
