but victoria always looks like she's got something up her nose. She really can't pull that look off now as she is 100 lbs overweight and did not age well at all.
Can anyone else hear David Mitchell talking when Victoria starts complaining about the dumbing down of the media? Those two were made for each other! 😂
Bless you, Victoria, for sticking up for QI. She's right, it's one of the few shows on TV that actually celebrates knowledge and doesn't assume the viewer is a complete moron. How rude of them to suggest otherwise!
Except that at the time this was broadcast Fry was still the presenter. He's pompous and condescending, and spends most of each episode mumbling unintelligibly. Sandy Toksvig is a HUGE improvement.
The show is well conceived. Paul has a very sharp wit and Ian has a great sense of humour . Kristy and Victoria are perfect in their touch of repartee.
Ian Hislop loves to get stuck in to other for their views, but doesn't seem to like it when it's aimed at something he likes. Not the first time I've noticed that.
He just doesn't like it when people correctly point out all nonsense around the royal family.I remember he said on the show once that he was having a party himself to celebrate the Queens birthday one year.@@BumMcFluff
@@alancawfield6549 yeah I actually like Ian a lot but he goes full-on "fingers in ears saying lalala can't hear you" when someone suggests that just maybe the UK doesn't need a monarchy in the 21st century
Kirsty is beautiful beyond words. Seems they have edited out a lot of Kirsty's laughing crack ups to make her far more serious. She's renowned for losing it completely and taking ages to get a re-take.
She's touchy about that stuff because deep down she knows she's bullshitting herself about there being a god. Keep an eye out for it; it's always the way with smart people who are openly theistic -- they are particularly sensitive about their own bullshit being so much more sensible than stuff like psychic pigs and horoscopes.
@@samharper5881 I didn't know she was a god believer! I had heard David Mitchell making some dubious mutterings about possible god and thinking, "Don't tell me...!!! Please! No!" So are they both god believers, or is David refusing to rubbish god belief because he so adores Victoria? And is this a Xtian god?
@@georgielancaster1356 There's a great bit on an episode of The Unbelievable Truth where Victoria buzzes in on Henning Wehn's "invented by Jesus" bit just to see how David rules on it. (He gives her half a point because there might be a God.)
I always love HIGNFY, but these shows where BOTH Kirsty and Victoria are on are magic! Also, having Greg Davies crashing about making glorious fun of everything on the same program, it's too much, too good!
I’m so in love with Kirsty, love her voice, sense of humor and stunningly beautiful. The only woman who could tear me away from Victoria. (Who doesn’t look very happy here.)
Kirsty's voice reminds me of Loraine Kelly's voice. They both have soothing voices that are just so calming, especially while listening to them during Covid-19. I also think that even if they said something terrible it would still sound okay because they said it! Lol
the psychic pig is one of my all time favourite hignfy bits. Starting with the perfect comedic non buzz. Followed by Victoria visibly heating up until she explodes.
Old Ian has had a great many likeable moments. He might seem cynical, but he has always been a good egg. It's hardly his fault that the UK that he reacts to as a journalist and a comedian is chock-full of the likes of Robert Maxwell, Rees-Mogg and bloody Nigel Farage, is it?
Hislop really gets on his high horse when people pick on stuff he likes. Reminds me a bit of Stephen Fry when he used to talk about something he was interested in on QI and the comedians would dare make jokes.
this is like Choc Ices and Penguins for me, the one woman on the planet that could turn this confirmed bachelor. Kirsty Young. then add the smartest quick wit of Victoria and that Mountain of a Man. Ian. haha I'm as huge a fan of Greg Davies as he is. I'm 6foot3inches tall and 24stone. HUGE Fan!!!
It would have been great If just in the background you saw a trio goofballs sailing a Tobota with an outboard engine bolted to the back ... *I do agree with Victoria though . My mom used to call it lowest common denominator programming . Just keep throwing shit at the wall to keep the idiots entertained and they won't notice it's shit ... I've recently added on the last part but I think it holds ....
Was just thinking, When did Victoria marry David? Because that exact firmly dismissive tone, with that precision timing, when she disputed the pig's psychic ability was so utterly David, she must have been 'channelling' him! {Oh..just looked it up - that same year - 2012! I rest my case.)
Be pretty hard to hang onto a dead shark wouldn't it? All sharks are slightly negatively buoyant as they don't have a swim bladder. Perhaps it was a dolphin, they're often mistaken with those big fins.
The interplay with Kirsty and Victoria is brilliant!.. The intelligent banter and timing is amazing.
but victoria always looks like she's got something up her nose. She really can't pull that look off now as she is 100 lbs overweight and did not age well at all.
Thanks BH. Always happy to be reminded just how gorgeous Kirsty Young is…
I love Victoria Coren Mitchel so much.
And Greg Davies, but mostly Victoria. She is a national treasure, and I'm not even British.
Can anyone else hear David Mitchell talking when Victoria starts complaining about the dumbing down of the media? Those two were made for each other! 😂
Finally, someone says it. They literally sound alike.
you stole my comment you bastard!! haha jk, and i totally agree, I imagine even their banal arguments are probably worth televising lol
@@papasy3748 ❤️😅
I only hear Kirsty
@@jamesm9995 who is Kirsty?
Bless you, Victoria, for sticking up for QI. She's right, it's one of the few shows on TV that actually celebrates knowledge and doesn't assume the viewer is a complete moron. How rude of them to suggest otherwise!
Sandi is a great host too. I wish the BBC wouldn't have cut-off people from seeing outside the Country.
except thatQI has fucked up on many occasions
They tend to correct their fuck-ups though. Don't they?
arrghgarry A lot less than the rest of the programs, particularly the news
Except that at the time this was broadcast Fry was still the presenter. He's pompous and condescending, and spends most of each episode mumbling unintelligibly. Sandy Toksvig is a HUGE improvement.
I live in Australia and stumbled upon this the British have the best humour.😂😂
I always enjoy HIGNFY but this is by far one of the great episodes.
Kirsty Young & Victoria Coren ! I'm in for a treat.
Thanks for uploading all these old HIGNIFYs, Bowman :-)
And I wasn't disappointed - very good episode.
I’m sure it’s been said before but Kirsty Youngs voice!!!!! Daayum!!! 🔥🥵
Kirsty and Victoria on the same episode, perfection.
The Dynamic Duo , Beautiful, Brainy , Humourous and Tactful . Hard to find in this world now . BRAVO
As an ex pat I just love this episode, it exposes all the humour the Brits deploy, sex, regionalism, hopeless authority control. Brilliant.
Expat or immigrant?
The show is well conceived. Paul has a very sharp wit and Ian has a great sense of humour .
Kristy and Victoria are perfect in their touch of repartee.
This is THE most enjoyable ep I've ever seen.
All episodes are 😂😂😂❤
i love greg davies. subtly sharp minded
Subtly sharp minded? He comes across as a thuggish dullard.
@@fredcollierfinishingtouche6701
That's his schtick, but if you're paying attention, he's very smart.
Asim Chaudry said it best: "Greg Davies, Greg Davies, I wanna have your babies!!" lol
I don't know what I love more Kirsty Young saying "fucking" or Kirsty Young saying "Edinburgh".
pedro correa why not both! 🤗🇨🇦
Brilliant wasn't it..and Victoria's get your tits out...lmao
Brilliant episode. 5 lovely, whip-smart Brits at the height of their game. The antidote to Gammon Britain.
When a team captain tells off his own teammate and tells them they're wrong less than 6 minutes into the show, you know it's going to be a good one.
Ian Hislop loves to get stuck in to other for their views, but doesn't seem to like it when it's aimed at something he likes. Not the first time I've noticed that.

I love strong headed, intelligent women.
"When the euro was actually worth something." Just leave it to the Brits to solve that problem all by themselves.
kinda wholesome that Ian just defends the jubilee as a great event and a fun day out.
The word that occurred to me was "sycophantic".
Kirsty is beautiful beyond words.
Seems they have edited out a lot of Kirsty's laughing crack ups to make her far more serious. She's renowned for losing it completely and taking ages to get a re-take.
"Well Kirsty, do you know your pretty face is going straight to hell?" - Morissey; Desert Island Discs
Greg Davies "startled deer" look is epic
Startled deer - fantastic description 😊
Kirsty is an absolute delight.👏🔥
That has to be one of the best HIGNFY's ever.
Thanks so much for posting.
If Kirsty had given me the look she gave Paul at the 16:23 mark, I would have melted. She is charming beyond measure.
I am currently occupying a puddle of my own making...metaphorically (and really)
Heh. I love the bit about the psychic pig.
Victoria: "It's not psychic!"
I could see David Mitchell doing the exact same thing in that situation. They really suit each other perfectly
Tetris- I was about to say the same thing. It’s obvious why she and David get along so well.
She's touchy about that stuff because deep down she knows she's bullshitting herself about there being a god. Keep an eye out for it; it's always the way with smart people who are openly theistic -- they are particularly sensitive about their own bullshit being so much more sensible than stuff like psychic pigs and horoscopes.

What a brilliant hosts she was!
Even sitting down, Paul and Greg are towering over Victoria and Ian. 3:37 - 'With the greatest respect Ian, could you see through the crowds?'
I wan’t to hug Victoria continuing to reject the ‘psychic’ pig
Kirsty Young, great class.
They put the tall guy on the short guy's team :P
Ian didn't look like he liked the joke about being in the dock 🤣
Definitely one of the best episodes!!
I always love HIGNFY, but these shows where BOTH Kirsty and Victoria are on are magic! Also, having Greg Davies crashing about making glorious fun of everything on the same program, it's too much, too good!
imagine a dinner party with this lot as special guests
I love Victoria Coren.........."NOT a psychic pig."
It's like the Twin's movie with Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger with Ian and Greg 😜
Victoria looks like her office chair has lost it's gas. She looks like the seat is set at 15".
wasn't that Lenny Henry who stood behind the reporter talking to the camera ?
Victoria is great! Weird to hear her just called Victoria Coren though... In my mind she's always been married to David Mitchell
I can see why Victoria married David Mitchell.
I can see why David Mitchell married Victoria.
I thought so! They're perfect for each other.
i can see why he married with her...brains and beauty, whereas David, just brains...
They operate with the same sort of angry logic
I’m so in love with Kirsty, love her voice, sense of humor and stunningly beautiful. The only woman who could tear me away from Victoria. (Who doesn’t look very happy here.)
not happy at all.....shes overshadowed totally by Kirsty
She's quiet after realizing that she is alone in not believing in psychic pigs.
@@andrewcook7229 Yep, not even in the same league..
To me, she tries to outwit/master Kirsty, and when Kirsty just ignores that, but tries to incorporate her anyway, she gets defensive.
This was as close to a list of guest for a perfect dinner party as I could ask for.
Lol, no Victoria, it’s not just you, lol
I bet david mitchell watched this episode and realised how much he loved victoria 😂 "its not psychic!"
I want a ringtone of Kirsty saying “No, it fucking is!”
“With the _greatest_ respect, Ian…”
😆
Ah yes, one of those new two wheeled unicycles.
Posssibly one of the funniest lineups i have seen
Victoria Coren should be on this every week, just mocking everything.
Kirsty is lovely.
Kirsty Young & Victoria Coren are 2 very beautiful & gorgeous ladies ❤❤❤
One of the better shows from this series
Thanks for posting.
Kirsty's voice reminds me of Loraine Kelly's voice. They both have soothing voices that are just so calming, especially while listening to them during Covid-19. I also think that even if they said something terrible it would still sound okay because they said it! Lol
Kirsty's voice is lovely and has that news reader tone for sure. I hadn't heard of her before this.
Hislop and Davies had some sparks
Well, I can't quit you Victoria! ;-)
Kristy Young: perfect voice to fall asleep
I just want to wrap her voice around me.
I desperately want to hear Kristy Young's beepless swearing. What a voice!
For real, loved Ian's discription of the Flotilla~ experience.
How Kirsty and Paul flirt! 😄😄
Lenny Henry was hilarious
Oh, Greg..... 💕
I have to say Kirsty is awesome
Someday aliens will see Ian's team and refuse to believe they're the same species.
If Greg was on Paul's team, they'd have tipped over! Ian and Victoia would have been flipped across the studio, as though pitched by a trebuchet..
thank you for the upload :)))
Kirsty Young. What a doll....😍😍
Gotta hand it to ya all brits you guys have the best hats
Greg has been totally clueless this episode. Hilarious!
Greg never appeared on this show again after this.
the psychic pig is one of my all time favourite hignfy bits. Starting with the perfect comedic non buzz. Followed by Victoria visibly heating up until she explodes.
Oh wow, have you not been to the States Ian.. International public spectacle is our domain; it can be quite splashing.
One of the more likeable moments of Ian Hislop. Cutting throught the cynicism about just enjoying the day.
Old Ian has had a great many likeable moments. He might seem cynical, but he has always been a good egg. It's hardly his fault that the UK that he reacts to as a journalist and a comedian is chock-full of the likes of Robert Maxwell, Rees-Mogg and bloody Nigel Farage, is it?
Victory Coren-Mitchell and Kirsty Young on the same show - oh my.
23:00 “That’s a good night out!” “That’s my perfect Friday!”
two of the prettiest panelists on at once.
Greg isn’t that pretty
Thanks.
Go Victoria!
Americans don’t really say “Enjoy the rest of the day.” Sometimes we say things like “Have a nice weekend.”
Kirsty is the love of my life. She is a beacon of beauty. Unfortunately I live 12,000 miles away and she is happily married. Sigh.
Ian drank too many juice boxes before the taping. I've never seen him so hyped up.
Cock-up and lasagna, Ian Hislop? I worry greatly how you make your bechamel sauce...
Nice touch talking about Spain there
Victoria is in fine form!
Hislop really gets on his high horse when people pick on stuff he likes. Reminds me a bit of Stephen Fry when he used to talk about something he was interested in on QI and the comedians would dare make jokes.
i see this episode is the villain story for the Taskmaster.
I love Mitchell, she sticks to her guns and hates stupid.
this is like Choc Ices and Penguins for me, the one woman on the planet that could turn this confirmed bachelor. Kirsty Young. then add the smartest quick wit of Victoria and that Mountain of a Man. Ian.
haha I'm as huge a fan of Greg Davies as he is. I'm 6foot3inches tall and 24stone. HUGE Fan!!!
???
Greg was hilarious on all cylinders.
When Prince Charles sings the Royal Anthem does he sing “God save my mum”?
I doubt it he’s dying to take her place 😂
No..he says Mummy 😉
It would have been great If just in the background you saw a trio goofballs sailing a Tobota with an outboard engine bolted to the back ...

Sod the Jubilee haha
Watching the clips of the Jubilee here makes you realise why England is going nowhere..
nobody on the panel could possibly ever have their trousers stolen!
Kirsty Young looks so much like Amanda Redman!
Stunning.
Greg you had your jeans stolen.
29:04, adorable Viktoria
Now, thanks to Taskmaster, Greg has ALSO had his trousers stolen
... does anyone else want to see Hislop on Taskmaster?
