The best of Hignfy series 29

Favorite moments from series 29. The series was first brodacsted in the spring of 2005

[@decodolly1535]

I'd forgotten Jeremy Paxman's resentful weather forecasts - they're fabulous.

[@TheTradge]

RIP Nicholas Parsons, what an absolute national treasure he was, Just a Minute will never be the same without him 😭

[@jamesedmonds7519]

He was a perverted, irritating freak.

[@Pabsie1974]

What a class act Mr Parsons was. Legend of radio 4

[@jemshadow123]

I love how much like Elmer Fudd Ian looks in this series...

[@miriamwilson9542]

May i say, a day late, Happy 30th Birthday to ALL who are involved in HIGNFY. I ve been a delighted viewer of this for all 30 years, and still watch these highlights in my retirement years to lift my spirits every day. I hope it s not too sugary to say, God bless you all.

[@sharonready5102]

Same here Miriam !

[@MaikuWotaharu]

Nicholas Parsons, missed like crazy.

[@victoriaduffy6538]

[@MrDavey2010]

Victoria Duffy Totally agree.

[@WolfieRich1]

Fantastically good sport

[@anonUK]

I can see why you had the 40-something Julia Hartley-Brewer as the screenshot, as opposed to Jeremy Clarkson.

[@james_baker]

What a great way to end the weekend.

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Thanks for posting.

[@marykate2336]

Love these compilations thanks for posting them👍👍

[@mattspires6326]

Just found these wonderful compilations - many, many thanks! I don't suppose the ones that the killjoy pedants at youtube have deemed unviewable are hosted elsewhere at all, are they? Thanks again!

Sweet Sundae. it's got HIGGY all over it. Thx!

Kirsty Young, innit, yeah. One Lady that could Turn this Confirmed Bachelor.

[@gernico13]

What a great combo Chris and Paul were.

[@brad_8711]

Not long after this, Chris Langham was arrested for possession of child pornography.

[@IndySidhu88]

@23:20 I lost it with Paul’s Frankenstein.

[@Renegade2786]

2005, the year when the NuWho and Mock the Week started.

[@Padraigp]

God the year my 18 year old child eas born and two years before I got my first computer. 😂 only catching up on the whole of telly since we didnt have engkish channel as a kid only irish one and two ..😂 i think ive nearly watched the whole internet now though.

[@The.Intruder]

37:28 I thought the actor mentioned here, Norman Shelly looked like the character on Paul's T-shirt...😁

[@cmeonthemove]

Please tell me you have the full Nicholas Parsons episode! Been wanting to see this one again for years!

[@AlgoEX997]

www.dailymotion.com/video/xscmo6 Dailymotion is your friend for HIGNFY! Pretty sure he has multiple series from all eras in full. Not quite as good for quality as these compilations though

[@willieclark2256]

I just watched the Christopher Mayhew film. Underwhelming but interesting

[@frankspence8460]

Please, please bring Danny Baker back!

[@jul30ie]

Paul Merton is the funniest human.

18:37 Randy Old Man

[@Sheffield_Steve]

17:12 Paul got the intro wrong, it was "And now, from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week." It was never live from....

[@raybeeze5522]

perhaps conflated with the intro to "Saturday Night Live" ?

[@thenodfather]

Oh dear, they followed the great Kirsty Young with Dobby.

[@deepzepp4176]

Hugh Abbott was pretty funny on this. It goes to show there’s another side to these politicians.

[@karendegenerous8044]

[@robin231176]

So many all male panels back then.

[@RIXRADvidz]

it's common on BBC programmes, HIGNFY, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week, Would I lie to you, before Sandi Toksvig, Qi with Stephen Fry was often all men, it's not unusual, but it is happening less and less.

[@TheTradge]

@@RIXRADvidz Pretty sure it's now policy for panel shows that they have to include at least one woman in every show, either as a panelist or guest host where applicable. Mock the Week, HIGNFY, Just a Minute, QI, all have had at least one female panellist in every show for several years now. The last programme of HIGNFY to feature 4 male panellists and a male host was in October 2013, only one other episode since then has featured no women, and that was the episode in December 2016 where Nicky Morgan was supposed to appear but pulled out, so they replaced her with a handbag.

[@LeofromFreo]

Yeah, it was less bland, funnier and far superior.

[@CDbiggen]

Funny how no one gave a shit until the social media age.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCyZZ-oicifhLs

[@normansidey5258]

Danny Baker and Jeremy Clarkson two of the most overrated commentators ever, both lost their lucrative jobs due to thinking they are untouchable, I don’t care f I never see them on tv again. Not missed at all.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Agree entirely. Both like to rub shoulders with true entertainers and both are extremely tiresome, verging on boring.
