Have I Got a Bit More News for You S65 E2. David Tennant. 21 Apr 23

[@smallmj2886]

Fantastic episode. David Tennant has great natural comedic timing.

[@ahukk]

But he’s not exactly Michael Sheen, is he now.

I really like the Bit MORE News posts. Keep 'em coming.

[@beenaplumber8379]

David Tennant is my all-time favorite actor. There's nothing he can't do. Dr. Who, the best Hamlet ever, and his role in United - all such different roles, and he mastered them. I love seeing him hosting, or participating as a panelist too because he's so witty. What a guy...

[@simonturner1]

Shame he's a Blairite.

[@garrick3727]

"Oh not the f--king daleks again" was class. They really did give him some s**t this episode.

[@smoog]

This was a great show. The repartee between Merton & Osman, and the roasting they gave David Tennant was utterly brilliant - and hilarious. The only right thing for HIGNFY now is to have Michael Sheen on as a host. Please!

[@BuruIgeru]

Last time Michael Sheen was on is in 2015 (during his Tony Blair roles years), so it is ripe for a comeback

[@richardbowen8136]

David Tennant is immensely liked by panelists, rightfully, and everyone was genuinely bright and cjeerful for a good time! David handled roasting like the talented, confident and humor- lover that he is. Good home with a grand Tennant!

[@valmckenna4754]

This is the first time I have seen this show -hilarious. ( I’m a BRIT living in Johannesburg). You can’t beat British humour. I have subscribed, can’t wait to see more.

[@FloraWest]

The first one I ever saw was hosted by Brian Blessed. (Worth watching-I'm sure it's somewhere on KZbin). It's hilarious chaos and I was like, "Is this what it's like every week?!" Been a fan ever since.

[@nigspeed]

Wow, it's been on for about 35 years !

[@scottydog1313]

I hope you have some time on your hands. The show had been a staple of BBC TV for decades. It's on series 65, with over 570 episodes, over more than thirty years.

[@Padraigp]

Wow thats amazing. Are you a very poor british person living in sluma with no tv?

[@flipthebuzzard]

[@michaelj.beglinjr.2804]

I like David Tennant. He knows how to be a good sport, which is becoming sort of rare anymore. When Richard and Paul started taking the piss out of him, David played along like the good dude he is. He's my second favorite Doctor, but only because Tom Baker was the Doctor when I first started watching the show back in the day. I hope you have a great day.

[@dyent]

Just wait till Tye Tennant inevitably becomes The Doctor - I mean, His father was The Doctor, his mother was a female clone of The Doctor, and his grandfather was The Doctor.

[@sallyatticum]

It's become a running joke, across multiple shows, now, and even comic cons, this mock rivalry between David and Michael Sheen. It's like an extended episode of Staged...

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Here, have a jelly baby.

[@Padraigp]

Its becoming rare anymore. Sigh. Like the English language i suppose.

[@rdgrdg1632]

Really

[@garrick3727]

It's been quite a while since I've seen an episode as good as this. It's not just the host and guests, although that is a large part of it. Giving Ian a comedian rather than a journalist helps. I also think the variety of subjects improves the show too. Sunak's not as much a gold mine of material as Johnson/Truss so they have to broaden their material a little to marathon runners, tv gaffs and local government nonsense. Toughsheet Community Stadium though - the material writes itself.

[@Tantejuju65]

[@mr51406]

I love Tennant’s wicked and very enthusiastic sense of humour. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thanks to Viva for giving this Canadian his essential weekly satirical fix. 🌟🌹 The “Bit more” version thankfully explains that absolutely bizarre score. There are a few typical Canadian crisp flavours I’d have added, e.g. ketchup. 21:26 Rees-Mogg’s background map is as ignorantly bonkers as he is. His “nation,” singular (!), includes all of Ireland (!!) but ignores the existence of continental Europe. 📼cassettes: blast from this Gen Xer’s past! Twirling a pencil so my Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Dead or Alive or Thompson Twins tapes would play properly! Why would such a bad medium come back?

[@itsokay7989]

The "congratulations on surviving the winter" joke, comes straight from Sean Lock, who did it in regards to Countdown viewers. Someone on the writing staff watched Cats does Countdown.

[@timdyer5903]

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

I'll admit that I was not expecting Tennant to pull off comedy as well as he did. Fair play to him.

[@thehellyousay]

He's Scots. If we didn't have a sense of humour, we'd be rampaging through someone else's streets with broken bottles, chainsaws, cricket bats, golf clubs, vintage fowling pieces, army surplus bazookas loaded with roman candles, and foreheads thicker than the bricks they toughened 'em up with, committing atrocities so unspeakable only Scots could talk about them onaccounta no one else being able to understand what was being said ...

[@ppodism]

This series of “Did I Tell You News” is absolutely brilliant

[@misshavisham3220]

You should try watching "Have I Got News for You," and its extended version, "Have I Got a Bit More News for You." They're both better shows than "Did I Tell You News."

[@ichijofestival2576]

Suddenly that final score makes sense. And the while I don't fully know what the deal is between David Tennant and Michael Sheen, it makes much more sense seeing the bit played out in its entirety.

[@1969Kismet]

David Tennant and Michael Sheen are friends in real life. They made an absolute stunner of a series during covid: "Staged". It might explain a bit.
