OMG, this episode is an instant classic. Everyone was in rare form and played off each other with such ease...and I agree that Steph is one of the best recurring hosts of them all!
People who don't watch HIGNFY say it's past it, this episode and the whole series so far is an answer to that. Brilliant, everyone on fire, Steph is a great host and Nabil and Ian's banter was brilliant
Oh, this is such a great episode! Everyone is just on fire!I think Nabil is hilarious, and the way he and Ian bounced off of each other is magnificent!😂
@@paulmead5832 It wasn't bad, but I recommend you search the one with Victoria Coren and Jacob Rees-Mogg. Ian comes out with one of the funniest lines ever in the first story. And one with Reginald D. Hunter and James May -- a classic exchange with Ian and those two on the environment.
Thank you very much from Japan! Every Saturday morning just before 7am I can see your upload and start work at 9am with a smile on my face! Thank you soooo much
@PokerJoker811 What's wrong with Jersey? As an American I always thought it was a hilarious joke. Like a big up yours to France. Fun way to argue about fishing rights and all that. (And as soon as I said that... maybe that's one more reason they're hated.)
This episode was a gift that kept on giving. One of the best for ages. Nabil was brilliant - his "Woohoo, get in there lads" and "you owe us" had me in hysterics. Paul @19:20 and Carol's reaction ! 😂😂😂 In fact, everyone from that point onwards ("watering the protesters, they're going to grow bigger now") I had to pause for breath. ViVaHD, thank you sooo much for posting these, you are doing a great service to humanity. 🙏🙏
I live part of the year in the UK and pay a tv licence but even having paid my licence, I cannot watch BBC iplayer outside of the UK and that really urinates me off.
He's wonderful. He lifts the tone. Wonderful spontaneity. Apt and funny references to Nigerians in Nigeria and in UK. Fun but apt references to all things immigration. Happy face. Best HIGNFY I've seen. Paul New Zealand
@@deeperanddown and as a ‘whitey’, I laughed at how right he was. It was the whitest ‘pommy’ energy demonstrated by both parties. Gotta own ya flaws. Even the protests of the crowd were at half strength
Nabil Abdultashid is DAMN quick. He’s almost as rapidly witty as Lee Mack. Pays lip service to what people think he will while ribbing all of it. Want to see more.
When talking about how Britain is a few years behind Nigeria with regards to corruption, his "I'm quite proud of your progress" joke was incredible! Fine form, sharp wit. 9:00
He was a consummate professional in this episode; letting the banter flow, and only stepping in with ejaculations, quick-fillers, or absolute slayers, E.G. "My Brother's done what?!" ... "Yeah, but you were featured in a section called 'Where are they now?'" ... he certainly keeps the "Missing Words" round lively
Hislop is my new hero. Make sure you see his docs re: The stiff upper lip & Fake News. Also, his show about the murder of the British railways by Beechum gives personal context & background to his train jokes on HIGNFY.
There's been an update regarding Phillip Scofield leaving and the events that caused it, it's unlikely he'll be co-hosting Dancing on Ice or anything else for the foreseeable future.
I love it when eveyone is friendly on this show. The occasional bit of politician bashing makes for a good clip, but as a whole show this is just wonderful
Right? This felt like a bunch of good mates having a laugh and some banter too. I like ones where they have a politician on they don't like and get to make some comments about it but I think I like these sorts more where everyone's having a fun time. :)
Sort of. He used to present kiddies tv with Gordon the gopher. As for the que jumping . That was blown out of all proportion so the actual reason never gets mentioned. . Usual press being over dramatic.
I loved how Nabil responded to the question about legal immigration. There are 120 thousand UK citizens in the UAE, and 1 in 10 of them live abroad. You don’t hear other countries complain about them, it’s shameful how they speak about people who relocate to England.
The Brits in the UAE are overwhelmingly middle-class & in good jobs. That's very different to a Pakistani labourer who's married to his illiterate cousin, has several disabled kids, lives in a council house & claims a fortune in benefits.
13:46 The secret to Have I Got News For You can be summed up like this: One tries to be clever and can come off as funny One tries to be funny and come off as clever And one host gives each of them a chance to do both.
yeah, this is the episode to recommend to anybody who hasn't seen the show or those who have but don't get it, this is indeed a classic and the "after" party with ian, steph and carol, must have been a blast!
to be fair I think Paul's the sort to sit back and let lesser known comedians shine. He's had a long career and remembers how tough it can be back when trying to get yourself more widely known. I think he likes to sit back when he knows there's a capable comedian on, and be more active when it's an unfunny politician or other person.

You're right, this season has been brilliant.!!
How can a current affairs programme be past it?
I lived in the UK for 12 years, this was and still is one of my favourite shows.
Never seen Nabil before but he’s brilliant!

@@Padraigp I think it's called Britbox, and people in Canada can buy it so I suppose people in other countries can.
Brilliant show, I think I’ve seen every single episode that’s been made. And that’s a lot.
@@VLind-uk6mb nó. Only in america or i guess Canada ... I tried that. Damn.
I love the idea of Ian Hislop being Welsh being more of a shock than him being Nigerian.
Hold up a moment, I say to that. Rhod Gilbert is Welsh and after his performance on Taskmaster they all get a pass.
he could have made it even worse, his father is scottish... he lived not only in Nigeria as a kid but also in the middle East and Hong Kong.
To add onto the above, his mum eventually moved to Wales, but she's originally from the most hated place of them all: Jersey.

It’s real easy to find negatives in people if you are so personally inclined.
@@deeperanddown and as a ‘whitey’, I laughed at how right he was.
It was the whitest ‘pommy’ energy demonstrated by both parties.
Gotta own ya flaws.
Even the protests of the crowd were at half strength
Amazing to think that - amidst all the craziness in the week's news - the only heckle from the audience was for Carol's artificial grass.
Thanks again from the US. Great to see Carol Vordeman back on the panel; she's charming and always so much fun!
"I like daytime TV, but then, I have been in prison" made me laugh out loud 😂

He will improve if he learns a lesson from Paul that you don't laugh at your own jokes.
You don’t think they have the subjects told them before the show, or even handed a script?
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence, he’s worse than that, he explains his jokes to the audience.
@@johnnunn8688 And then claps.
Poor. Will go nowhere.
Cheers for posting. I have to agree with the comments below, Steph is the best presenter and really brings out the best in all. Great show.
This whole episode is crackling with lightning fast laughs! Thanks
Best belly laughs I've had in ages. Nabil is a hoot.
“What in the vegan barbecue is going on?”
Indeed, that may have been the poshest riot of all time.
Fabulous. (As always)thank you.
Best episode ever. Long live British humour.🏇🏁
Thank you so much for posting this. I always enjoy Ms. McGovern.
Nabil and Ian absolutely loving life
Steph is such a great sport and an amazing host of this. Great episode thanks for uploading!
Great one 😁 and Paul just created a new version of the good old "Higher!"-joke
This is the best episode in ages. Absolutely brilliant.
The Norwich bus stop is my bus stop after work, mind blown 😂😂
And the week is complete.
Much thanks.
Steph is a natural at this .. She should have her own show
What is she talking about when she says that she "got her muff out on telly"?
@@sambda muff is a euphemism for vagina-she is saying she had a pap smear on camera, much like Katie Couric had a colonoscopy on camera
@@sambda she's talking about exposing her beaver on tv for a smear test. Telly is UK slang for tv.
She does - Steph's Packed Lunch, which has been ging for over 3 years.
@@italianstallion9170 It's still broadcasting on C4.
I love Steph! Very funny episode, and that Nabil is hilarious!
That scored high on the chortle levels. A good episode, thanks for posting
Nabil was fantastic on this, was expecting good things from the host but he and Carol added to it
Again I m blessed! Adult beverage, a buzz and HIGNFY!! Thanks best friend!
I have no idea who Nabil Abdulrashid is or what he does, but I demand more of him!
Given how good Paul was at getting the missing headlines, I half expected someone's head to explode at the end of the show.
That would only happen if they'd gone to 9 headlines. 😁
Omg this series has been rocking it
Damn, that Nigerian guy (next to Paul) is quipping funny!
The boys back home are quite proud of your government.
Good one!
I am definitely going to reuse "what in the vegan BBQ is going on?"
Cheers for the upload
My favourite Saturday morning treat. Coffee, toast and HIGNFY.
This American thanks you SO MUCH 😊
For me, Paul will always now be the "Rainman of nonsense" - hilarious.

"Yeah, but you were featured in a section called 'Where are they now?'" ... he certainly keeps the "Missing Words" round lively
Nabil was great with Paul. I think Ian & Nabil like. each other a lot. Carol is always great. I don't know the presenter this time but she's funny too
That episode is outstandingly funny!
I managed to catch it but thanks for the upload it's God's work you do.
Hislop is my new hero. Make sure you see his docs re: The stiff upper lip & Fake News. Also, his show about the murder of the British railways by Beechum gives personal context & background to his train jokes on HIGNFY.
As well as murdering the railways, Beechum also invented some flu remedies (the famous Beechum Powders)?
@@momeara7482 yeah, but, no but, Ian Hislop's makes good documentaries, don't he?

"We don't talk to each other outside of recording!"

What you consider middle class and in good jobs are still immigrants. Your racism and culture intolerance for others is quite disturbing.
