This is wonderful ! Two mates who are clearly very fond of each other and enjoy some banter. As Ian says, he had 300 items and I wish the series could just be these two going through all of those.
These two are gold together. Their connection is undeniable yet that friction is so fiery and fun. They have educated arguments about their sides, yet Ian will be honest with his "I know"🤭🤭 Glad to see Piers was "too toxic" for... anywhere 🤣🤣
Somehow it lends itself to a one on one, rather than making three of them sit and have a “safe and short “ statement about it. If something bothers you to a point you want to put it into a room, there has to be a debate about it.
But it's CLEAN, surely! I had a great univ teaching job in Doha, Qatar. Five days a week it was great but weekends were deadly dull and Brit coms and this show got me through
Norway's late king Olav once let slip during an interview that his favourite food was poached salmon with strawberries for dessert. He got it everywhere and got really fed up with them.
What a weird attack from Piers Morgan in that clip to try. Asking people who come to watch HIGNFY, a show famous for having Paul and Ian on every episode, if they like one of those panelists. It's like asking people in an Indian restaurant if they like curry, or people in a Texas Steakhouse if they like meat.
I love that Ian makes fun of himself so easily, but all of his dislikes are foils for other things, which he readily admits. With Chaplin, he absolutely agrees with Charlie's statements in the Great Dictator and, even more importantly, in Modern Times. Peasants getting crushed. Even old Ian must find the cocaine scene in that film hilarious. And bizarrely relevant.
In reference to Paul McCartney's to Heather [can't remember her surname] and divorce which cost him 48M gbp. Around 1/10th of his 'money in the bank and financial assets if cashed out today'.
As a huge latter-day Beatles fan, I got sick of the endless applauding, lauding & awarding in my teens. I love their albums but I'm lucky to have been entertained & edified by much better, more "important" music in my life. I am intrigued by the Get Back film. Any documentary showing the rehearsal stage of production is fascinating to me.
Yeah.But there's another one with Nick Hancock as the host.There's also the radio version of this show which Ian was also a guest on one episode. ruclips.net/video/YXhT_2NMj_Q/видео.html
I wish they would bring back this format for Room 101. I don’t like that the panel show format seems setup for Frank’s cheesy punchlines, instead of actually considering the guests’ complaints.
Well, he didnt win so often in its early years. however, Ian is the full-time editor of Private Eye AND makes documentaries and has never missed an episode. So he's a bit busier than Paul. He is better informed in depth on major issues. However, Paul is a unusually quick, perceptive, and intuitive (and not uninformed on the past week's news). So he is able to guess what news story is referred to by a montage of four photos or short videos faster than can almost anyone else on Earth. And very quick with plays on words. often too, he just wins by a few points.
@@thisravenhasflown010 I don't know who "so many of you" is. I just think it does come across a bit odd if, in a long-running series, one of the sides wins with a very, VERY wide margin. Asking why isn't necessarily anything against Paul; it can easily be simply a question as to "What's that about? What point is the show making by keeping that status quo without shaking it up to appear more balanced?"
@@beth12svist let me guess, you also question which books are in school libraries, but are very religious... right cupcake? Its entertainment, nobody dies if they lose. Take a chill pill and try a show that is about being concise not being entertaining 🤣🤣👍1️⃣🔥
@@thisravenhasflown010 I think it's you who needs to "take a chill pill", it was you who started to throw around rather extreme words like "butthurt" when someone asked a question just quoting directly from what Ian himself said in the video. 😉 They got a very good answer to their question. You came along poking and asking another question, no one has answered you in 11 months, so I tried to finally give you an equally reasonable answer as the first one was.

I love the old format Room 101.
There was an older format with Nick Hancock
#metoo But that's because I loath Frank "I use to be a drinker and EVERYBODY needs to know about it" Skinner.

Oh wow. Thanks for this. I would never have been able to see this.
Thank you for this. I've been looking for this for years
Thank you for this: a good laugh -- particularly play your Kurds right.
The final is outstanding.
What a great episode!
23:45 Love the reference to Ian's proverbial losses on HIGNFY
I just went through your video playlist and subscribed. Im stuck in Singapore and bored to death. This channel will help

You can tell they're like brothers in how fond of each other they are yet still have a sort of rivalry going on.
Brilliant - thanks for posting
how piers morgan ever got on america's got talent when he has about as much charisma as my dead great nan...is very baffling.
Friend of Simon
True..who does he appeal to? That said, no one on the panel of these talent shows has any charisma.
The only talent Morgan has is being able to do an impression of someone with no talent.
I think that's a bit harsh on your dead great nan - she's definitely got the charisma Piers has been searching his whole life for.
I was there and the sixties was bloody amazing
Now you're old. Haha!

In his defense, Piers Morgan is a really weird and offensive man with zero understanding of reality and far too much power and money.
@@baoboumusic if that's a defence I wouldn't want to hear you giving his negative points 😁
@@Robin-cf9ts exactly ;)
Obsessed with food aren't ya.
I love that Ian makes fun of himself so easily, but all of his dislikes are foils for other things, which he readily admits.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ian’s first choice…..
I hate their early stuff too...lol
They were influential, they had some staying power but opinions are just that, and humans have always placed too much importance on it.
In reference to Paul McCartney's to Heather [can't remember her surname] and divorce which cost him 48M gbp. Around 1/10th of his 'money in the bank and financial assets if cashed out today'.
Very cool thanks
the second they brought up Charlie Chaplin I was wondering if they were going to bring up "The Great Dictator"... its virtually impossible not to.
BRILLIANT !!!

I cannot believe Paul is older than Ian!
Just looked it up, Paul is 65!! Ian is 62.
WHAT PAUL IS OLDER
Does anyone know that strawberrys song?
I wanna know too!!!
Classic🤣
6:18 Did that dude in the back bring enough hair for the rest of the class?
Watching Ian doing some silent movie stuff reminds me of Wayne Rooney.
was this ian's only appearance on paul's room 101
Yeah.But there's another one with Nick Hancock as the host.There's also the radio version of this show which Ian was also a guest on one episode.

It's been far too long since I reminded you what an absolute legend you are, cheers for the uploads pet xo
s01e02 broadcast in 1994
How come he looks so OLD if he wasn't around in the 60's ? Jayziss, I look better than him and I grew up in the 60's. And I'm Knackered after it. 😀
Ian and Paul are not see you after show for drink kind of workmates. Not close 'mates'.
They do go out for drinks after the show.
1:23 5:29 13:19
Brilliant pianist !
no Beatles? im out

With the syrup Ian looked like a negative of Michael Fabricant
back when you could be nagative without being cancelled.
101. lol.
That's a maths joke if you're wondering.
but why does Paul always win HIGNFY? why is it rigged so much in his favor?

Agree, The Beatles are the most overrated band, ever.
I think Coldplay and Oasis take that prize.
I like the Beatles, but I don't exactly worship them.
@@Welcome2TheInternet don't be silly. They were both heavily influenced by a very famous sixties band 😉.
what is that crazy tune about strawberries?
🤔

Jimmy Somerville.
I always thiyght Ian was a politician.
@@BrotherChad absolutely
Just on political watch. I love it when he calls someone out to their face on HIGNFY. Awkward but needed.
