The best of Hignfy series 44

Favorite moments from series 44. This was first broadasted in the autumn of 2012.

I remember Conrad Black destroying Dominion Stores in Canada. He walked past me in the Weston Rd office. Greedy thief and T-Rump predictable fore father...bless you Ian and BBC for showing his true colours.

[@lorofcb3]

Ian not taking any bullsh*t from Conrad and indeed anyone is just my favourite thing. We need so many more of his kind.

[@kane4013]

What were they doing having a convicted criminal on the show anyway? That seems to reinforce the idea that elites play by different rules.

[@mfdinak]

@@kane4013 Excellent opportunity to take a crack at facts though when some so often write their own narrative as if it is fact and so many swallow it

[@williamparker1085]

[@dingodelta]

Also helps that Ian is a solicitor? Or have I got that wrong?

[@patharasown]

​@@dingodeltaI don't think he is...I think he studied English...

Go ,go, Ian. You have the ball's to tell it as it is

I’d never seen Jack Whitehall with that surprisingly sensible haircut. Didn’t recognize him at first.

[@TregMediaHD]

Thankyou from Amsterdam

[@Tropategan]

And here we are in the future... with Boris: the Leader of the British conservative party. Did Boris plan this all along? I think so. It is almost as if Ian had been telling us that this was coming for a decade.

[@michaelmccarthy9411]

Twenty times as much, Ian!

[@kane4013]

So sad to see Damien Lewis on here looking carefree and having a good time. Cancer doesn’t discriminate when it doles out sh!t sandwiches. I hope he’s finding some happiness these days. He seems like a top bloke.

Ah the last part of 2012, waiting for the end of the world. So nothing has changed.

[@RIXRADvidz]

I wrote a letter of complaint. I said that if the world didn't end then there would be trouble. And Problems. WELL, Look what happened. not even a COVID CULL can clean up the mess, it's going to have to be the ASTEROID. soon by the looks

[@Snagglepuss1952]

So Ian was right, not only the leader but PM........Ian stop saying things like that!

The answer to Paul's question: "What is Mitt short for?", is nothing. Given that his full name is 'Willard Mitt Romney', Mitt looks like a good choice to me.

[@AverageEldritchEntity]

OY, that must have been fun in school.

Disappointing that none of the teams or host, have any idea of how homing pigeons work. They had to be dropped with parachute, so the box didn't drop so fast, it injured thr pigeon. The reason the pigeon had to be in the box, is, if the bird was released from the plane, it would fly home to the UK, to it's mate, immediately. Homing pigeons are sent from their home and mate, TO an area needing to send messages, back to the pigeon's home, where the message is uncoded and sent to intelligence officers. Homing pigeons can't be sent wherever you want. They are only interested in going home, to their mate. And they have to be kept in a pigeon loft/aviary, until needed, because if they are loose, they just go home, immediately. If you had pigeons who had mated in the Resistance Camp, they would not leave, if you put a message on them. Their home and mate, are there. But you could take them back to UK, put messages on them, and they would fly to the camp. Problem is, they are being watched for, and can be tracked, to where they land. So you tended to use pigeons to send messages back to UK. And you usually let them go away from the camp, hopefully, away from any Germans or collaborators. BUT you had to have them dropped, from planes, regularly, so you didn't run out of pigeons. The Brits and Germans had coastal teams who shot at pigeons looking like they were heading to the enemy. They also had hawks and falcons to take out the pigeons. A number of pigeons came back with chests torn open, from bird of prey attack. Wonderful, extraordinary birds.

[@yeshua7238]

While I appreciate the bird knowledge you’ve shared, I don’t find myself disappointed in the comedians for delving into it in the same way

[@WibblyPigNZ]

I did rather mishear: "It is Wisden you get as you get older, isn't it?". Some would associate an appreciation of cricket with a general sense of Enlightenment...

I would like to see a supercut of all the times Ian refered to Boris as leader of the conservative party over the years.

spent the day on the scorching patio, such fun, the music ended, the plate was bare, so it's time to come in for Tea. ordered, ready in 20 minutes, so I sit down to the wwwebboxxx and look what's waiting for me. S44. my day just finished with a ringing perfection. THX str1tsa

The Democratic party is interesting because it is the only party in the world who could introduce a policy and it is described as radically Left WIng by some and center right Conservative by others. Quite bizarre.

31:31 I've never seen a Coptic pope before. Nice to see he's keeping up the tradition of religious leaders wearing absolutely ludicrous outfits. Is that an upturned, gold-painted wicker fruit basket on his head? Snazzy. And is that a blindfolded choirboy with him? What's going on there then? Are Copts Catholics?

[@THEMACINTOSH25]

Not your show and still ask people to watch adds?

[@georgielancaster1356]

Often, all adverts seen are placed by youtube. Uploader gets no money, no say in where adverts go. This is what happens. Even if you are not earning anything at all. It may well be, you have made that remark to someone earning nothing, just another fan of the show. Make your complaint to yt, and discover a billion dollar American company's interest in your happiness or not, in their profit making.

[@briansammond7801]

It is precisely because it is *not* their show that there are ads. The actual owner of the show makes a copyright claim and places ads which benefit themselves. This is hardly a new phenomenon. It happens on the WILTY Nope channel as well (and many others ) and has been explained over and over again on that channel. It's no different here.

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

Really wish racist Ian was not a part of this show, which would otherwise be quite entertaining and informative. Instead we always have to hear some tired recital about how a “black” is calling a kettle a crook… WTF Ian!!!!!!! NOT sorry not sorry.

[@Ryattt81]

Yes...famously racist Ian Hislop.

[@J3TF1RE]

The man he was speaking to was named Conrad Black. Watch something else, this is obviously too advanced for you.
