- Journalist, satirist and broadcaster, Ian Hislop, joins Rob to talk about his new comedy Spike, currently at The Watermill Theatre until Saturday 5th March. They discuss Have I Got News For You, which Ian has been Team Captain on since it first aired over 30 years ago, and Ian tells Rob about first meeting satirist and comedic actor Peter Cook whilst at college: an encounter which eventually led to him becoming the Editor of Private Eye at the tender age of twenty-five.

Are you planning to do the full length in video on Spotify, that would be really cool?
I do not understand why the Spotify version is audio only.
Searched for 'The Wipers Times', currently no events arranged.
i'm 48 but i grew up listening to Pete and Dud (Derek & Clive), and the The Goon Show. amazing comedy, amazing people. never to be replaced. Peter Cook has been my hero for most of my life.
Video is better and RUclips is better. :(
Ian Hislop is a 'public servant' in the true sense of the phrase. He is more of a public servant than any MP, and deserves far more recognition for his championing of actual real justice. Plus puncturing the puffed up buffoons is always very funny.
Probab;y, all true but I like a suggestion even a glimpse of political impartiality and watching HIGNFY immediately after the last election (literally, it seemed) showed Ian and Paul in their true colours as neither of these multi-millionaires could, barely, utter a word and for their detractors, it provided a real insight into their political leanings....
He's a floating voter. And I've heard and read him produce scathing vitriol of Boris and Corbyn.. so I don't know what was said to make you think he's blatantly bias.
He has had a pop at endless Tories and many Labour luvvies did not want JC, er, JC, as they knew Labour could not win over Middle England with Corbyn..
He is a puffed up buffoon himself. See his reaction to the 2016 referendum.
@@CA-ee1et no he isnt...hes great
Hislop is the real deal. He ought to be the one interviewing politicians on prime time because he appears to be the only one who ever actually holds them to account.
They wouldn't turn up, they worked out s few years back to stop doing serious interviews a few years back, ask politicians hard questions and they just won't go on your show because they can't control the narrative.
Couldn’t agree more
@@shiftylad9938 to me, the other guy or both lol
He ought to be the PM instead of The Oaf.
@@tmarritt Doesn't it then open the opportunity for proper politicians to take advantage of this then?
Ian Hislop is a man, that if I'm honest, I don't think much about. He's been on TV a lot but you don't really notice him...if you know what I mean. Now that I've grown up with him for most of my life I realise just how important he has been. He's been openly critical at the right times and in the right places. His ability to bring a spotlight down on the important issues has been crucially important. He's a bit of a ledge, really. We need more people like him with the balls to speak out, for the sake of free speech and our democracy.
Too be honest........ I have - since the first time I saw Ian on TV ...... thought that he was WITTY ...... and for me, importantly, A LEFTY who was not afraid to call out ANYONE on their bullshit, hypocrisy, or their corruption ( Boris Johnson all in 1 ).
I'm his age - 66 - and just a far lefty from Seattle....Washington.
Ian Hislop - out of all the people in the world....... is one my TOP 5 People that I would like to spend an evening with. ( Like Christopher Hitchens )
I don't drink ....... or drug______ and would just like to HEAR his stories ( I have nothing interesting to tell him).
@@fugguhber4699 Seriously, if you think Hislop is a lefty, you've completely misunderstood. The reason why his satire and criticism are so effective is that he's precisely not a lefty, but one of their own. Check out his CV.
That's why people are told not to like him!
@@fugguhber4699 Definitely not a lefty. More of a small c conservative..
Never get bored of listening to Ian Hislop
I love love love this man. I have never missed an episode of HIGNFY. And seen the extended versions several times because this man just delights me. He's so clever, very funny, and our world would be a duller world without him in it.
Ian Hislop's decades of probity and erudition briefly undercut by a technologixal panic had us giggling.
On the day we lost dear Barry Cryer, what a lovely little vignette that was, one which, I'm sure, would have had Baz guffawing that legendary, generous laugh of his.
Your next stationed stop is: Mornington Crescent Ah! Mr. Cryer, you are most welcome. I believe you know Messrs Rushton, Brooke Taylor...
and host Humphrey Lyttleton who first introduced to glamorous hostess Samantha
I am in Oz. I didn't know Barry Cryer died!
@@georgielancaster1356 I’m in nz. I did. It’s called the internet 😉
@@georgielancaster1356 I found out on my walk about phone🙂
@@marcusp905 Ah yes, a "walkie-talkie" as it's known.
Ian Hislop is a much-needed corrective in today's political mire of cynicism, arrogance and corruption.
"The BBC now offers a range of courses to help the elderly with modern technology". I'm dying!
He’d be great as a narrator :)
I was waiting for the " and if you have been affected by the issue,there is a help line number you can call" at the end
Why are you dying? Are you ill ?
Great interview! Ian Hislop is such an interesting character, having worked with legends of comedy such as Spike Milligan and Peter Cook! 🤘🎸😎
Great to hear an interview where:
a) the interviewee is genuinely interesting and genuinely has things worth listening to; &
b) the interviewer asks opening questions to promote the best conversation and allows the interviewee time to answer.
Watch Ian Hislop on HIGNFY and Rob Brydon on WILTY.
This isn't an interview, it's an advert.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 If so, a media outlet worthy of such attention.
As one of the schoolboys rushing home to listen to The Goon Show in the 1950s, I hope Ray Ellington and Max Geldray get their deserved mention in the tribute play.
How can this channel only have 70k subscribers? What a gem. Rob Brydon is an absolute legend.
Private Eye should be part of the curriculum in school. My old headmaster was very smart and he used to order a few copies for the students.
I grew up with computers and still find myself lost these days, the more technology has advanced the more it has become a pain in my arse
Mad to think it's been 32 years Ian Hislop has been on Have I got news for you! Never fails to make me laugh
Ian Hislop is great , he should have a show like Paxman I would love to see him interviewing politicians in his humourous way
What a good idea!
They'd shit themselves!
I have taken out a private eye sub, just because of the questions he asked at parliamentary meeting the other day!!run rings around mps
Agree Marcus. And we'll done, you were 3rd not me!
Be prepared to be depressed by so many stories of corruption and bad practice. They have stuff that takes the papers and tv years in some cases to pick up on
The only rag I buy
Thanks for this, Rob. You make my Friday afternoons so much better. I've been lucky enough to see lots of episodes of "Have I Got News for You?" even though I'm in the US, and I've always loved it. IMO, Ian Hislop is something of a national treasure and this is the first time I've heard him as himself and not as Team Captain. Now he'd make a great leader, outside of the TV...
Ian Hislop is a national treasure. Not only is he funny and smart, he's a defender of the common folk, trying to hold corrupt politicians to account.
whoever edits the interview down for these is (also) a real talent, I mean I'm intensely auditory and can hear when a breath is cut short ... but in this case only just (on my studio monitors) and the conversation always appears to flow absolutely naturally despite two sentences being a minute apart in real life. Just need to say I admire the skill.
Absolutely love it. Hislop is a national treasure
What an absorbing one to one interview that was. Very entertaining with surprising bits of information thrown in. Well done you two.
What a great interview! What a difference between this and when Ian talked in front of parliament a few days ago about politicians and back handers that they received/receive from companies. A different atmosphere altogether!
Rob, you turned out to be a very good interviewer which is quite a different skill to presenting a show. It was really nice to see you being the YOU you rather than the presenter you (which you're also very good at).
As always thank you for posting these videos on You Tube for us deafened folk who don’t do podcasts 👍🏻👏🏻
Watched this because I have a lot of time for Hislop. But ended up equally as impressed with Brydon, who I'd kind of dismissed before. Interesting stuff.
Spike Milligan and Peter Cook used to play ping pong in Spike's garage, using planks of wood and tennis balls. That image has stuck with me for decades at this point
Hislop is a great guy. I wish he was a prominent politician. We need more integrity and uprightness in our leaders.
Yeah!!!! The Private Eye guy!!!! I'm from the USA and my teach said you are best person to refer to to understand British politics. So I've subscribed and I love the private eye guy!
I'd like to see Ian Hislop to get a chance to interview Rob next time, its a shame they ran out of time
I've listened to the full version on Spotify and I'm going to send this RUclips link to my mum, due to the Peter Cook/Spike Milligan reference. Really interesting conversation, Spotify version is well worth the longer listen 💕
I love this. Didn't know Rob was doing these interviews. He's very good at it. I'm viewing from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Listened on Spotify, and really enjoyed your conversation, what a joy to watch you both, relaxed and mutually respectful to each other. Thank you both.
Possibly 3rd viewer but not the 3rd RB interview I've watched. Seen all of them and love them.. even with people I was not especially interested in beforehand. Rob is a great interviewer and his skill at not needing to steal the show allows his guests the space to open up and pretty much be themselves. Great stuff!
That's a good point about stealing the show. But I think Rob isn't under the pressure of time. Whereas, TV interviewers have time constraints and have to pack everything in within a time limit.
Thanks Rob for having Ian on your show, such a great bloke. Recently, I have been watching past episodes of HIGNFY, especially the ones with a younger Boris on, so funny, just love them!
Boris the buffon or Boris the corrupt?
The Goon show was brilliant... I grew up listening to old tape cassettes of it which my dad had recorded off the radio. Love it.
So much of the comedy that came after was inspired by the Goons. Their wordplay was top notch.
RUclips has meant that I can watch Have I Got News For You here in Australia. Great interview with such an interesting and articulate man. I just love Ian Hislop.
Hislop has now, probably unfortunately in his mind, become a “national treasure”. Thanks Rob (though the felt Crocs will not be forgotten or quickly forgiven)
I just think that anyone who is lucky enough to have a conversation with Rob they 100% walk away in a far better mood than before
That applies here to Lord Snooty a.k.a.Ian Hislop who is now only miserable and cynical.
@@Isleofskye 👍👍
@@Isleofskye
😂 says the person sounding miserable and cynical.
@@youcantno3963 I am, indeed,miserable and cynical when I watch that smug,supercilious,superior, self-satisfied little sxxt that is Le Hislop:)
You are positively glowing Mr Brydon. Like a jellyfish in the deepest ocean trench.
I suspect it's the very long socks...
@kirsten Latimer brilliant episode
Hislop is a legend, I've batted way above my weight in debate because of Private Eye. There's been times they are a year ahead of the normal media. He used to use the train because I saw him once, didn't want to disturb him but wish I had just nodded a thanks
What a wonderful 15 minutes.
I could have watched 2 hours of this. Thank you!!
Rob Brydon you absolute legend , not only on of the world's funniest nicest guys but all your friends are legends too haha top man as always. Please can we have another hook up with Mr coogan it's been way too long! Brilliant interview as always
little smashers
Oh yay you’re back! I thought you’d deserted us here on RUclips for the long format on Spotify… thank you for new videos.
Great, Rob. Thanks for the fun.
The Watermill Theatre in Newbury is a lovely place, very intimate, perfect for this kind of thing. I saw a Laurel & Hardy play there, by Tom McGrath - terrific evening and great restaurant too … oh, and this chat was great also 😂
I love Ian because he can see through the BS that constantly surrounds public figures and still manages to laugh--a lot! He is a doll!
Rob is fantastic, not only funny, but can perform without a script, love the adlib to cover while Ian was looking how to find/close email, but his video setup is superb, great picture quality, great audio, very professional, immensely impressed.
When Thatcher was PM i asked myself: how could you degenarate from that point...i guess Age brings wisdom after all.
Thank you for this. Rob Brydon, your hosting of WILTY is a highlight of my week. This interview was a delight to watch.
I can't think of anyone here in the US, that has the integrity of Mr. Hislop. We may not agree on a couple of things, but I believe he comes by his views honestly. I just wish Private Eye was printed in a bigger font. Hopefully I'll be getting new glasses soon and will resubscribe.
that schoolgirl giggle at 14:45 😄Rob Brydon is such a treasure,
Great interview. The restaurant theyre referring to as ‘Peter Cooke’s office’ is Villa Bianca in Hampstead, North London. Lovely place.
I am a HUGE FAN of British comedy....... and Ian Hislop....... and Rob Brydon :)
I'm an American, from SEATTLE, in BANGKOK.........
SO, ZERO % chance of me seeing this play.......... I hope that I can see a FILM of the play !
ROB - Stay Safe........ thanks for this interviews.
TOO SHORT ........ I could have listened to 2 HOURS of you interviewing Ian and telling stories.
Fascinating!! Thank you.
Good stuff Rob and Ian. 👍
I remember the complaints that he was far too young when he became editor of Private Eye. He has sorted that one out decisively!
Strange to think that Ian Hislop was massively critical of Blair from almost day one and identifying all the bad things about New Labour. He was dead on with Iraq war and build up, but it's Blair now getting the honours from the Queen this year. The day Ian Hislop gets an honour from the Queen (or King) will be the day things that he talks about and critiques are actually being improved in this country
Dead on? Not according to Christopher Hitchens. I was always critical of the invasion, but having learned more about SH, perhaps it's time we looked at it anew?
Michael Bentin went to Eton and was the son of was an aeronautical engineer. Middle not working class.
Fantastic..big fan of both.👏👏😁👍
What a hero! And I mean both of you.
Made me laugh from the outset!! Quality Rob, first time watching this channel!! Perfect.
Rob's hair is magnificent. A walking add for hair transplants. 👍😉
Would be great to see Ian Hislop on WILTY 😀
I enjoyed that, more please
I'm an American obsessed with WILTY. I never heard of Ian Hislop, but suddenly his testimony and your channel popped up in my feed (I've already watched the Bob Mortimer and Lee Mack interview). It's a good day! Any timetable on getting David Mitchell on?
Ian Hislop is brilliant on HIGNFY. Doesn't care who's paying his salary.
@@leonbanks5728 He reminded me a bit of Jon Stewart. He seems to know how to get to the meat of the matter with intelligence, honesty and wit.
@@Wtiberon That's him to a tee. He and Paul Merton (who's the other captain on HIGNFY) work so well together.
Oh, oh, oh, I've not started watching yet, but I KNOW that this is gunna be good. TIA from New Zealand xxxx
I was in my sporting, hedonistic and anxious socialising prime when HIGNFY started and I found it to be a little oasis of intelligent conversation and wit. It was kind of tucked away on the auxiliary channel, on Friday nights, in a sort of 'What the Papers Say' slot. I was quite evangelical about it and can honestly cite it as an influential factor in the previously unlikely occasional Friday night in.
Excellent.
Love hislop... Im happy to learn more about him... Only really ever knew him from have I got news for you, which I stopped watching over 10 years ago
Wonderful
Hi Rob, enjoying the channel! There is a small typo in the channel description, 4th paragraph. The word "be" is missing. Cheers
I didn't realise what a lovely person you are. No disrespect. ❤. Lovely interview. 👍
Wish this was longer. Fascinating guy.
Would've loved to get down to The Watermill to watch the play. Lovely spot for anyone living nearby.
Get Hislop on would I lie to you, bet he's got some great stories!
We literally still had a black and white set when have I got news for you started as my dad is a Luddite.
Like the people at The Globe laughing at Shakespeare
Loved this and could've listened to another 15 minutes (or more) of Rob and Ian chatting. Does make me wonder if there is appetite out there for extended Rob Brydon and Esteemed Guest podcasts; I'd certainly tune in
Well this is from a podcast that's on Spotify if you're interested
Rob, can you put the videos on Spotify please? I don't know if that's possible but etc. I loved your mini cab videos from away back Marion and Jeff, your talent was undeniable.
I remember finding Marion and Geoff... I am sure my jaw was dropped a number of times, and disbelieving laughs, and the sadness of seeing such a nice man so used, so cynically treated. It was extraordinary to discover
Great honest talk...like it's should be
It's not what you look like, no-one would mistake that voice. Excellent footage in Parliament, putting a rocket under them.
Brilliant interviews. When can you get Steve Coogan on? That would be a great chat.
It’s just occurred to me - has Ian never done WILTY? He’d be brilliant on it!
I thought this was current (2024) until Ian mentioned that he was waiting to hear if Boris had resigned 😂 Oh well, still happy to hear anything Ian and Rob said
Legend.
Peter Cooke called Robert Shaw a drunk on the Cavett Show which I thought was below the belt
Is there a list anywhere of what gear Mr. Brydon is using? The image on the main camera is excellent.
I don't think there is a more british way to say
"I was personally recommended to the editor of a reputable newspaper" than
"---and he was like: 'You know i've met this thing, he's quite funny, why don't you have a look at him?"
Have I Got News For You is a crucial part of my mental health diet 🙂
Always liked Private Eye. Puncturing the pomposities of the Brexit voting British public is always fun.
What’s fun Is that you don’t seem to realise what your comment says about you - -
@@drdel76 It says that he's a very intelligent man.
Nowhere near as much fun as watching Hislop and Merton Ion HIGNFY immediately after the last election (literally, it seemed) showed Ian and Paul in their true colours as neither of these multi-millionaires could, barely, utter a word and for their detractors, it provided a real insight into their political leanings....
Back to their respective Ivory Towers well away from the hoi polloi, for them.....
Are we still allowed to watch Spotify?
"it's in case Boris has actually resigned", god if only
Ian Hislop for prime minister!
Parliamentary humour now is just laughing at the public.
Top man Ian and a Welshy...part of reason I watch it...very funny show and it give a humourous slant on politicians and how they are taking the piss,and using their jobs to advance themselves with cash for contracts etc and shares in people related to them or friends...hopefully Boris wont be PM when the next shows go out on BBC
My first memories, as an early sixties baby, of the Goons was Michael Bentine with the flea circus on BBC children's TV!
Ian watching Gavin and Stacey, and Rob being surprised by it, is somehow the most cute and wholesome thing
I've watched HiGnfy for so long that( I'm even a trippynet ) RIP fan of old . Hislop is so great especially when he says 'fuck' randomly
