@@TimesFM4532 OK I know I'm 4 months late to this but can we talk about that real quick? Specifically the way people claimed to be "shocked" by the accusations. I know "don't judge a book by its cover" is a thing but... I mean, we all saw the accusations coming a mile away, right? The way he chose to present himself, the jokes he made, everything. It would have been more shocking if people came out and said he _wasn't_ an alleged sex pest.
In case anyone is curious, after some research, it turns out the claims Andy’s talking about there were actually about David Lindley (Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon). It appears the inclusion of the Queen in the story was incorrect. Charles was involved with a gay sex allegation in 2003 if that’s something that would interest anyone lol
Ann Wid really ruined the show, though, racing through it like a 1960's school teacher doing a revision quiz and not letting them expand on their answers.
My favourite bit of the Widdecombe bit was she was apparently disgusted by Jimmy Carr's "rude" bits. In which case, my admiration for Jimmy Carr improves again.
Oh, man. You left out the "Charles to cement, come in, cement" exchange between Clive Anderson and Chris Addison. Clive's misunderstanding and Chris's embarrassment was one of the funniest bits of that particular episode. 😞 Apart from that, I want to say thank you for your weekly uploads of these compilations. I've watched as many of the episodes that were uploaded on RUclips (and later removed from now-deleted accounts) for a little over a decade now. It's a joy for this American to see some of the events I remember seeing long ago (and some I've forgotten) all over again! So once again, I thank you!
True Story Paul Merton said on Parkinson. That this Ep was bad. In the week leading up to the show, she apparently sent the script back with notes on how to write jokes & was obnoxious to the floor manager during this show as they stopped filming around eight times while she was telling them (highfy) how to film the show.
she is a character, like Emin or Christine Hamilton or Paula Yates, they may appear to be dreadful people, but they do make for good telly. Characters all.
remember this joke from 2007 when russel repeats his BS 'The deep state is starting to attack me for telling the truth' crap he keeps talking about. Seems like everyone knew from day 1 he was not right in the head.
That's Kirsty Young. She's a great presenter and always a real laugh on HIGNFY but hasn't done much telly in the past few years because she's had some health problems. However, I have seen her popping up a few times recently so here's hoping she's through whatever the issue was and we can see more of her again.
Anne Widdecombe and Russell Brand episodes are in the top five ever HIGNFY, along with Brian Blessed, Tom Baker and of course, Brucie.. Just non stop laughing... thank you so much

@@DeanMoxley87 If that’s true i can’t agree with her views, still doesn’t mean she’s not hilarious. I also have no animosity when it comes to people who are Pro Life, i’m Pro Choice but i understand their reasoning. Not sure what the chaining people to beds is all about but in the end it doesn’t change she gave me a wonderful laugh and she’s just a funny person, possibly with bad political views 🤷🏻♂️
I think the sort of insufferable tw@ts they would get on to take the piss out of (like ann widacome) got wise and refused to be on, now only people they like host the show.
I totally get why people don’t like Russel Brand but his wit seems fine. Stuff like this and his appearance on Norm MacDonald Live have slightly warmed me to him
He was always narcissistic and kinda dodgy in that "never know if he put roofies in that drink or not" sense. This is the sort of person who charms their way through life and thinks abusing others trust and using fame and money to coerce is perfectly acceptable behaviour, so long as nobody who matters in their little circle blabs about it.
The Anne segment is a classic , a masterpiece of quick wit and repartee .
19:54 Jo Brand absolutely nailing Russell Brand's behaviour in 2007
He didn't hide it

it is so obvious!
I’m sorry Ian, but Schwarzenegger is not the worst actor ever!
And let’s be honest, he wasn’t wrong was he 😂🤷🏼♂️
Do you reckon Russell Brand was doing drugs in the toilet? 🤔
Arnie is no where near "the worst actor ever"
That's not a canoe! It's a kayak, for heaven's sake. Or do Brits not know the difference?
the least aspect of the story by far Canoe
No we don't.
We do, although it's also okay to call a kayak a canoe
Bit late to the party, but a kayak is a type of canoe.
Widdecombe and Brand special needs
Ann Wid really ruined the show, though, racing through it like a 1960's school teacher doing a revision quiz and not letting them expand on their answers.
It was all going well and then Brand ! He makes my flesh crawl for some reason
for some reason ? I bet you know that reason by now, don't you ?
Aged well those clips…
Frankie Boyle creeps me out far more than Russell Brand.
At worst, Russel Brand could give your groin a little grope. Frankie Boyle looks like he might actually want to Kill you.
@@susi-emily frankie tries to be creepy, though.

Russell Brand tries too hard to be funny and just isint
The Superdog thing they missed an opportunity for a Bark Kent joke
That Ann Widdecombe episode is a classic
36:25 onwards always kills me
Starts at 27:45
It's jut a pity that she had to be in it as well. :)
Methinks Russell Brand was chemically enhanced.

Also Reg: _makes an amazingly funny comment_
Fair play to Anne Widdecombe. took it all in her stride! Thanks for uploading
Yeah, I don’t really like her but I’d have to give her credit here.
Someone who wants to make it illegal to be gay does not get any credit for any thing.
@@pseudonayme7717 Ain’t it the truth!
She took it all on the chin, but enough about the after show bukkake session!
Remember Anne Widdicombe? :)
Ian Hislop is absolutely adorable.
Oh good. Now Sunday is complete. Thank you.
2:09 "The worst actor ever"? He's no Daniel Day Lewis, but James Cameron got some pretty solid performances out of him. (Particularly 'True Lies').
After watching, I read The Ghost Writer. Very interesting and disturbing.
Shame the film is directed by a child rapist, who was a know child rapist when Harris wrote the screenplay with the child rapist for the film.
Anne Widdecombe is bum clenchingly foul lol
She'll be gone soon.
No one will mourn.

just much more anarchic

Paul’s running book joke is great
Kirsty Young ❤️❤️
Alex James didn't say much though, did he...
2:23 - 2:31 So many hints in this show that Boris Johnson is not the one you want to run this country.
Or any other country for that matter. He's even less qualified than the queens cousin was, yet that twit was actually re-elected😏
when we look back the warning signs were all there weren't they.
The Anne Widdecombe episode was the most wild shitshow 😂
Done and the young lady, Kirsty ? Is a stunner. Her husband is a lucky man.
Just for when I next re-watch this: Brand avoidance - 44:00 - 58:30.
Love the compilation, but why no season 33 the best of HIGNFY?
19:53 Another warning not headed
remember this joke from 2007 when russel repeats his BS 'The deep state is starting to attack me for telling the truth' crap he keeps talking about. Seems like everyone knew from day 1 he was not right in the head.
Anne Widdicombe as herself, as always. Bit grim. And Russell Brand totally off his head. Apart from those two, a good compilation!
27:05 Surely that's "Bark Kent" ?
Oh god, I just started the section with Russel Brand and JACK DEE as host. I need to hide behind several doors so people won’t hear me dying

In fairness it's hard to joke about current, current events.
It's too painful.
And comedians can't compete with organic tragi-comedy.
