Have I Got News For You - Series 40 - Thursdays 9pm BBC1

HIGNFY has been poor for a good few years now. Just doesn't do it for me anymore. Used to love it in the old days. Paul Merton just sits there saying not a lot. 8 out of 10 cats is the best these days. Constantly hilarious. Hardly raises a smile HIGNFY. Did enjoy the mine camp joke though!
 
Enjoyed HIGNFY for the first time in a long time last night.

OH did need convincing that John RicharRABon does not "play" Gino D'Campo though :D
 
According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know) -

21st October - Frank Skinner
28th October - John Bishop
4th November - Chris Addison

John Bishop and Chris Addison have both been confirmed by the BBC to be hosting this series, although whether they host on the above dates, and whether Frank Skinner hosts at all remains to be seen.
 
... and Paul's clothes were the only thing that seemed to carry Paul into the studio with them.
He spent most of the last series looking bored and disengaged.
Even this series' trailer was very, very lazy.
 
Ah yes, wikipedia the font of all true information :rolleyes:

Whoever he was, he was a poor choice as I imagine the majority of viewers had no idea who he was

An actor from a Sherlock Holmes adaption is hardly HIGNFY material
 
Benedict Cumberbatch is an award-winning actor of stage, TV, and screen. If you haven't heard of him then it's no crime, but it reflects nothing but your own ignorance. He's just as qualified as Jeremy Clarkson, Angus Deayton, and anyone else who's presented the show.
 
I have a real dislike for Paul Merton, seems so smug and up himself.. Think its time for the show to come to an end tbf, maybe the last one could be guest presented by Angus ;)
