Have I Got News for You S66 E6. Richard Ayoade. 10 Nov 23

[@jackieking1522]

Left the North-East nearly 60 years ago but still ridiculously proud to see and hear another proper speaking native.

[@becsutherland4506]

Ooohh Richard is back. He’s such a terrific host. This is a top episode.

[@peterpluim7912]

A great episode. I had to laugh loudly at the line “but based on interviews of hundreds and hundreds of people in her head”.

[@michaelshovelin9979]

Absolutely. Best line this season.

Another great episode! I love Richard Aoyade - his dry sense of humor is hilarious!

[@pat8295]

How the hell do the very rich get to pronounce living on the street, with or without a tent, a lifestyle choice? In Australia, where I live, Tony Abbott. Aka the Mad Monk, said Australia's First Nation people had made a lifestyle choice to live in poverty. Then their party funnelled misinformation thru the media to make sure a referendum to give FNP a voice in our constitution failed. It's disheartening to live amongst such narrow-minded naysayers with nothing on their minds other than lining their own pockets.

Good on the Chief of the Met Police for standing up to withering political pressure at the national level, and insisting on the people’s right to assemble. That would never happen in the States. There, cops end to be strictly the servants of power, and their impulse is to restriction and repression.

He's been a reliable, sarcastic but witty chap for two decades. Remember his early bit part in the Mighty Boosh and the marvellous role of Dean Learner in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?

[@TREVONBACH]

indeed as well with lycett i hope it continues. IT was a find years ago yet wasnt my flavor. parkinson is absolutely gorgeous and legs for days tho so i saw a few...lol but the awkwardness of richard was amazing and i enjoyed him more on panel shows and the big fat quizzes.. @@KatieM786

@@TREVONBACH Hello, me fan! Ayoade is cool in nearly everything, though he may just be playing himself! On top of those above try IT Crowd - his nerd Moss is a great character. I just remembered Nathan Barley, another cult comedy which is bizarre but witty (Julian Barratt of The Boosh is good in it too). Garth Marenghi is a very odd spoof and I didn't get it first time, watching a few years later it clicked and is full of clever gags. Helps that the great Matt Berry is in it too. Hope you enjoy it!

I especially enjoyed Ian describing photos to Jamie, using mostly hand gestures. 😄

[@myoldvhstapes]

I've read that the photos are described ahead of time to the blind panelists.

[@cuzned1375]

@@myoldvhstapes Yeah, Chris McCausland said as much on one of his appearances. But imagine how good your memory would need to be! So i’m guessing that Jamie asked Ian which of the 700 pix they described to him two hours ago is the one on the screen now.

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

Yeah, old habits die hard! On a programme with comedian Chris McCausland (who's blind), a woman who'd been playing a game of axe throwing for at least half an hour with McCausland attempts to high five him by holding her hand in the air in front of him... It takes her the best part of five seconds to realise a blind man ain't gonna guess she's waiting for a high five if she doesn't tell him.

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

It's not as if they're viewing hundreds of photos per show, even in the extended version! Judging by HIGNFY and the programme staring Chris McCausland (Wonders of the World I Can't See), you realise most people do a very bad job at describing things. @@cuzned1375

[@BetjeWolff-v2s]

It would be more effective to show Ian the photos beforehand, so he can practice how describe it in afew words. He uses his hands searching for the right words to describe. I do that! Often people know what you mean by pantomiming it. When you have no blind people in your daily environment its a new challenge to transit an image in words. Just a hint for the program makers: give Ian and Paul some time beforehand to think about describing the pictures.

[@raymondg7565]

"Major Johnny Thompson, Lord True, Lord Oliver Cholmendeley, Lord Stirrup and Major Plunket". Excuse a question from across the pond, but are those real people or names from an old Monty Python skit? Excellent show as always!
