Yeah, especially the part where he ignored the racism and went for the private jet ride instead. I'm sure they are suing them for the private jet criticism.
Agreed. An outstanding moment! It's hard to watch when it needs to be 'explained' that freedom of the press is an important cornerstone of a democracy.
@@peterporkeresq.2817 That's because he explained the press in general, and didn't just focus on that part in particular. Which obviously needed explaining because Sara thought it's unfair in general. That's what he meant by "not pretty"
@@itsokay7989 No, she just thought that the racism is objectionable. Which it is; Ian's point of free press is whataboutism. No one, including Sara, was objecting to the free press.
Any chance you could post the extended versions of this season’s episodes? I’m sorry to ask but I can’t get them here in Oregon and they are just so darn wonderful. It would be a public service. Thanks in advance!
That lib dem MP seems a delightful lady. Unfortunately, being a politician, there is no way she actually is as nice as she seems. Pity, because I kind of fancy her...
I only know her very slightly (campaigned for her when I was living in Oxford) but she really seems like a lovely person (and a huge nerd). I do think she's married, though :P
@@EnricoDandolo1204 just my luck. Of course had she been single I would totally have had a chance, successful female politicians go nuts for random anonymous commenters living in other countries. Happens all the time. It is almost a cliche, really.
I love Ian, and he's right about the legitimate criticism of the royals, but he did run over Sara's also legitimate point that the 'free' media need regulating and watching just like any other human group, especially when they're libelous, slanderous, and hate-mongering for realzies.
Wow. Ian did not get the point of Prince Harry's statement at all, did he? Sara Pascoe got it completely and fair play to her for trying to get it across. It's not about fair/free criticism...go nuts on that, Ian. That's fine. It's about the vehement and personal attacks on his wife, which smack of racism. They are two different things and if you don't get the difference, Ian, that's a tad worrying.
He did get it. He made a point about the freedom of press in general. If that freedom is used wrongly in your eyes, then that's a different matter. He just rightfully explained that her notion is fundamentally wrong when applied to journalism.
You seem a tad worrying to me. 1+year later and its 17 lies and counting. Victim playing, couple they are and bring shame on the royal family and the UK
@@rcihard999 Mansplaining!! That's a vacuous form of argument if ever I heard it. Could you ever imagine Thatcher complaining that someone was "mansplaing" to her? #weakandmeak
He got it, he just rejects it and raises his voice and bullies when challenged. As he and Harry are both Etonians, he seems to feel entitled to decide how Harry must live.
Ian is morphing scurrilous gossip with genuine public interest. The Sussexes ecological hypocrisy etc is fair game. Her skin colour and relationship with her relatives is not. Sometime he is so self righteous, he seems impervious to what we can see.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're the best!
No problem Miss...
Your so kind, thank you.
Many thanks for posting this, enabling me to catch up with British TV in Turkey.
Oh, you are a wonderful human being! Thank you 😊
Most kind Linda x
Thank you, I could use a dose of humor in these dark times!
28m44s Paul Merton "i'm not saying he speaks out of his arse but every time he sits down his voice is muffled". Brilliant!
Thank you, so very much appreciated.
Thanks Helen
Thank you from Oregon. I really LOVE the extended versions. Thank you for doing this!
thank you from Connecticut!
"You swine, De Vere, you farted in front of the Queen!"
"Oh, I'm so terribly sorry, I didn't know it was her turn."
Ian: It's a sort of hybrid car
Sara: So a Prius is half car...
Hilarious. I have stolen that joke.
I fucking love Clunesy! And Pascoesy.
Thank you so much from Italy!!!
I like Martin Clunes as the host
So good to see this, thank you so much!
no problem Chris
This show is never funnier than when they're taking a dump on (my / our) American politicians. See ~28:00 re Trump self-impeaching. 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼
Love this panel show.......treated Augus a bit hard back in the day, but still a great show. 😮🤔🤭😑🇨🇦

@@SorendeSelbyBowen Not knowing anything about this myself, I bet it's the Tuareg one. That seems to follow historical example. 😞
Wow. Apt.
Thanks a whole lot, Coelho.
I do love this.
Hislop's comment about the free press being free, but not pretty, is rather delightful.
Yeah, especially the part where he ignored the racism and went for the private jet ride instead. I'm sure they are suing them for the private jet criticism.

@@itsokay7989 So Hislop wasn't siding with the British press on the way they've treated the former royals? Is that your conclusion from the video?

thank you !!
"free press" in UK indeed, only free if you parrot the party line, all other viewpoints are banned.
This!
Same here in Australia.

@Martin I campaigned for the Lib Dem candidate in my constituency. I don't think being personally close is required to make a choice like that.

Plaudits, Coelho. Just curious: what does it take to add captioning to a recording/upload?
Captions are available click the three dots in the corner on the video and look for captions.
It is oddly little comfort knowing Great Britain suffers their own "Trump". So sorry .

I wouldn't even trust that Layla Moran with my lighter.
That "woman thing" is a British politician?
Is that right?
Jennifer Acuri has a high opinion of herself for someone who looks like her hairline is receding..
Maybe character and hairline are unrelated? You seem to have authoritative opinions for such a shallow person
