AKA the Margaret Thatcher Special
Ian and Paul agreed in the 2003 DVD commentary that this is the worst episode they ever did. After all these years I bet they change their mind now

Thanks for posting.

So...after you uploading all these I think yes, we could well have done with a bit more Deayton. He was a very good host. I was always miffed they sacked him. He probably thinks he had a lucky escape.

[@abitmoredeayton]

He almost got away with it but his mistress came in and sort of exposed him to the tabloids and now he can't get away with it for the second time.And yes he was brilliant in this and I was abit hoped up when Jimmy Mullvile said that he would try to bring Angus back for the last time, finger crossed!

@@abitmoredeayton they did try to have deayton back as a guest, twice. But he always refused. He even declined to participate in the 30th anniversary special of the show.

I remember watching this the first time around. it was uncomfortable viewing.

[@galesito1733]

Two of the most loathsome people ever to appear on the show, they're up there with Savile, Rolf, and Jonathan King.

[@isabellaangeline2175]

Which is why they’re the guests for an episode about another horrible person.

How did she know major was in bed for 4 days? Hmm.

[@thenodfather]

The picture of the end of John Major was probably it how he was after getting off Edwina Currie 🤣

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

Ouch!

[@RIXRADvidz]

Edwina and Esther I sometimes get them mixed up as they seem to be mixed from the same cloning vat. LOL

Dunno why they said this one's bad. Almost all HIGNFY episodes are average, this one included.
