The best of Hignfy series 52

Favorite moments from series 52. This was first broadcasted in the autumn of 2016.

[@LPKelly380]

David and Victoria are my favorite people. Imagine their conversations…. “What are you doing this week, Darling?…..Oh, I’m hosting HIGNFY, and you?……..Oh I’m doing that next week.”

[@EM-uy4ij]

I spent too long trying to figure out which Beckham hosted HIGNFY

[@baoboumusic]

38:16 "yeah I know" the whole bit is so fantastic deadpan, I can watch this time and again. One of Merton's highlights in 60+ series.

[@Hocra]

Charlie's immortal opening line... Adil Ray was on such sparkling form, as well. Terrific season, I thought. Thank you so much from Norway, str1tsa!

[@baoboumusic]

I saw your comment on Charlie Booker's opening line and knew immediately what you meant.

[@chrissmart21]

The oneliner from, Paul at 6.30. No matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old.

[@The_Infernal_Contraption]

What are you even talking about? Oh, and let’s not forget how Trump’s absolute greed led him to spit on the 9/11 victims and their families this week by hosting a terrorist country at his golf course. He doesn’t care about anything but money and will throw everyone under the bus as soon as they’re no longer useful to fleece.
