Of the last few seasons, this is the episode I enjoyed the most. Other episodes were better regarding content, but there's genuinely none that I simply enjoy watching as much as this one with Aisling and Roisin.
to answer aisling's question at about 20:56, yes, there is a class in political science (at UMass Amherst, I don't know about Eton) in how to write meaningless sentences as practice for answering questions without answering them. I had a roommate in college who took that class, I saw the meaningless homework worksheet that he was working on and he is now a local politician.
Hilarious, once again !!! Loved the bit about Eton 😁, would be such fun if they would actually make a show like that ! Love from freezing Adelaide, well, at least at night it's actually starting to feel like winter. 🦘
That poor guy, running along the river, calling " River !!! , River, where ARE you !?! " How long did it take for a police man to arrive to arrest a madman 😂
Extended episode on a Saturday, That works great for me because I talk to people on Sunday who often mention HIGNFY. Good to have Aisling and Roisin on. I don't think I've seen either of them for a few years. And they didn't mention Trump. First time this season. I was wondering how long it would take them to get over him. Boris seems to fill that vacuum quite nicely.
Given what happened when the Catholic church didn't let Henry VIII marry whoever he liked ... I think you can see why they might be more willing to accommodate leading British politicians, these days.
In the Catholic church you can be remarried in the church if you marriage was annulled by the church. Source, my parents had their previous marriages annulled by the church and remarried in the Catholic Church.
I love HIGNY, and i’m American. I don’t think that I’m only enchanted by the accents, as enchanting as they are. And i’m a big fan of Aisling, but she’s of course only hosting this episode, so she’s not a selling point for the show as a whole. I think it’s the “panel of smart-asses who’ve actually paid attention to the news” format that really makes this show special. So my question is: Is there an American show like this that i’ve been missing? Tough Crowd came close-ish, but what about now? The “comedic current-events panel show” seems to be peculiarly British, but maybe i’m missing an example…?
Assuming the headline grabbing £50 per pupil is true. £1.5 billion / £50/pupil = 30mil pupils. Total *UK* population = 70 mil Can the assumption be true?
35:43 "The new DUP leader will only listen to Genesis." *Question for Brits from a Canadian:* I'm aware the DUP is a conservative party, and I thought this joke was funny. But then I started thinking, is there an element of *pro-Union with Great Britain* voters in Northern Ireland that are *politically left-wing* (e.g. pro-social programmes/welfare) at the same as being *pro-Union with Great Britain?*
Ian Hislop is the editor of one of England’s leading news magazines, Private Eye. It is a bestseller that often breaks key stories and holds a light up to power. Educated and engaged English people all know of him. He’s a household name for them.
Aisling Bea, the possibly most annoying person on TV because she can never play it straight and always have to overdo it and worse, insert herself into other people's jokes.
@@hudzghDon’t take advice from those who think everything should conform to just their views. This show is hugely successful for 30+ years for a reason.
Only if you think odd means different from what you like, but based on your comment, I’d prefer everything you dislike. Such an arrogant assumption that your takes are definitive.
Except they’ve had her back multiple times, and heaps of us loved her. Look at how many sellout shows she’s had. That you don’t like her is just your sad sexist problem.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
God it must suck to have to work for this show and then realize the lab leak theory is a totally legitimate theory about COVID. What happened to follow the science? It must really sting

I just laughed OL so much. Therapeutic!
Eton Mess! I’d love to watch that! And Bea & Roisin are two of my faves too! Thank you from Singapore 🇸🇬
Had the same thought ! Would make a great comedy show !
“Can I make it an accusation, then?” Brilliant
"Face of disagreement"...my new favorite phrase!
Thanks for posting again living in Greece and look forward to this show mrs edwards here
British wit. Can't live without it.
Love these women

Great to see my two fav ladies again
Thank you for sharing this. I'm in Macau missing programs like this.
Thank you!!
I'll watch anything featuring the wee miss Bea!
You must be joking, she was terrible
I agree with Charles. I usually love her but that braying laugh is something new and I don't like her hair.
@@juliehughes1258You think your opinion on personal aspects is relevant? I thought the English placed a premium on decent manners.

@ViVaHD You’re doing the gods’ work. 👍
I don't know what it says about me, but when Aisling said "slow-mo running" I thought "the six million dollar man."
It says that you are as old as I am.
amen
Me too 😂
Shattatatata shaatatatatata shhaattatatatata
YES! Love Roisin and Aisling!
i have been in love with Aisling since the first time i heard and saw her on the TV, 8 or 9 years ago. She gets even better year after year.
I think she's great, although it's taken me six months to understand the accent.
She's annoying you mean...
@@linrob1312 Yep, at times.
She's a doll
@@johntomasini3916Well she’s Irish and female. Of course she annoys you fragile little petals. But what doesn’t.

Thank you. 💖
Thanks for posting.
Honestly Aisling was the most lively person on the show in a while, and I think she managed to actually spark some life into the others as well.
Her obnoxious laugh is too much.....difficult to endure
@@SamJohn52It was awesome. Your attitude on the other hand….you’re a downer.
She had a good time...

Boris should stop doing that sort of thing in public
It's almost like current world leaders frequently come up in the news
You know your maths is bad when even Roisin Conaty says your figures are all off.
is there a Roisin fanclub? I absolutely adore her! (and yes, i watched her on countdown, still like her)
Massive BBC fan obviously: both current preferences are on Netflix and at least two out of three of his childhood faves were on ITV
LOve the energy of the host!
At the 38 minute mark, does Ian give away the fact that he's a Depeche Mode Fan?
"Why are they sharing a face ..." oh cripes!
"...but not a real green dress, that's cruel" BNL
I adore these ladies, hope they are besties
B day is two days before D day. Wow😂🎉
THANK YOU!!
At last! "Roisin" pronounced well by Aisling.
Aisling has a lovely musical laughter.
Edit: 29:08 That's The Young Ones, isn't it? :-)
musical?......more like fingers on a chalk board.
@@SamJohn52You felt the need to make this comment twice. You’re a toerag.
May God bless Aisling Bea & all her little comedian friends.
fiddlin' about came as fiddlin' the books were busy that day doing some thing for boris at the office
Welcome back.
Nice to get a bit more! Has Bea sat in the host chair before?
Yes, but I've forgotten when.
The long version was way better than the short.
That's what she said
Thanks
Wow. First time being in the first 200 people. XD
Love the taser scene from Coronation , they all should have one instead of buzzers and hit the host when they don't like the question.
Given what happened when the Catholic church didn't let Henry VIII marry whoever he liked ... I think you can see why they might be more willing to accommodate leading British politicians, these days.
Carrie better produce a male heir then...
No. Based off of that alone..
I can't.
They didn’t object to his choice, you numbskull, just that he had a living wife. Seriously!
Her saying "What" with the exhaled H sound is so much like Dara from Mock the Week
Makes sense, they are both from Ireland.
For Ian's sake, I hope he doesn't find that the Communards have reaction videos as well.
scandal about government? emergency wedding!
11:27 Never seen Paul this quite.
Refreshing, isn’t it
Quiet.
Baywatch and Blind Date, both aired on ITV saturday evenings, I think Mr Sunak needs to brush up on his broadcasting organisations

Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me on NPR is like this, but less quick-witted; pales in comparison.
@@comedycomedy6888 LOVE Wait Wait - the wife n’ i listen every week. You’re right, it’s sort of similar, but not exactly analogous. 👍
@@cuzned1375 The quick-wittedness on these British shows never fails to amaze me.
Real Time.
@@comedycomedy6888 Yeah sadly it's not even close.
Paul was weirdly quiet at the beginning. Was it 7:14 before he spoke?
It's REALLY bad when we, the US, are spending more on education.
And still letting books be banned in 38 states.
Why are they so mean to Harry. They're like the royals mouthpiece.
Oh, Reggie Christ!
I guess reaction videos have now jumped the shark if it's on a BBC panel show.....
Never heard of Clive before. Good choice?
He’s hosted a number of times. He’s one of BBC’s leading newsreaders, I don’t know how you’ve missed him. He’s brilliant as host.
Last episode in series 61?
Looks like it
The life and lies of... Jeffry Archer

*Question for Brits from a Canadian:* I'm aware the DUP is a conservative party, and I thought this joke was funny. But then I started thinking, is there an element of *pro-Union with Great Britain* voters in Northern Ireland that are *politically left-wing* (e.g. pro-social programmes/welfare) at the same as being *pro-Union with Great Britain?*
Probably they'd be more likely to vote Alliance (liberal), Green or People Before Profit
They’re ultra Catholic fundamentalists
Love those Irish girls....
Please forgive the stupid question...but that Ian chap is rather humorous. What's his full name?
I believe it's: Ian Hislop
Ian Hislop is the editor of one of England’s leading news magazines, Private Eye. It is a bestseller that often breaks key stories and holds a light up to power. Educated and engaged English people all know of him. He’s a household name for them.
There are always dudes whining about any female host or guest. Every single time
Yep, they hate the Irish, too. And Clive.
Some good jokes tonight...but those women's laughter (-:
Well, this was a struggle to get through.
Why does Bea annoy me so much..not funny with an annoying voice
Why? Why stick with it if you don’t like it?
flat tonight
Yeah, It really dragged, and a lot of Aisling's lines got no response at all. Not up to their usual standards.
I want that yellow taezer (sp?). I have many things to do with that baby.
Why did Roisin Conaty freeze her face like that? Such a shame.
Boo
She has not done any such thing.
One of the worst episodes.
A very disappointing episode, with a very tedious moderator.
Poor Patricia, never happy, that's why no one likes you 🤣
Beautiful women are so annoying, eh?
You may have been disappointed but the vast majority of comments suggests people loved it.
Aisling Bea, the possibly most annoying person on TV because she can never play it straight and always have to overdo it and worse, insert herself into other people's jokes.
Glad I'm not the only one to think that......she tries too hard. Cringeworthy.
But heaps of us loved her, and she’s done it before, so maybe your whiny sexist crap is just you.
Wow, when ur as big as Roisin and still do Botox... I thought she was gonna float after a while..
After this show I think HIGNFY has had its day. Very sad
Naw, does it not validate your views, poor petal. Why watch then, there’s GB News now.
Oh no. Aisling just said, 'thunk' instead of 'thought' but at least she said, 'people WHO' and not 'people that'!
Learn some linguistics mate
Who’d have thunk it is a famous pun, goose. Both to google your assumptions.
So now stupid reaction videos are being played on this show. For new viewers - watch episodes this show from ten years ago, it used to be good.
Thank you - from a new viewer!
Wah wah
@@hudzghDon’t take advice from those who think everything should conform to just their views. This show is hugely successful for 30+ years for a reason.
Roisin looks a bit different. Has she lost weight?
Her hair is straighter than usual, so it could be both or just different hair.
She has had some fillers in her cheeks and lips. Noticed it on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown a little while ago.
@@oscardog6719 That's what I thought
@@oscardog6719 and she’s wearing a ton of highlighter which affects how she looks.
Is this the shallow end?
Are different sized earrings a style now? Very odd.

Irsish
Aisling is horrible.
The girl hosting is so unfunny… watch pail and Ian looking at each other looking embarrassed
Girl? You mean the woman who is a superstar comedian and actress? How’s your misogyny working out?

For you, I adore her, as do the audiences that sellout her shows.
God it must suck to have to work for this show and then realize the lab leak theory is a totally legitimate theory about COVID. What happened to follow the science? It must really sting
Ailing Bea, It's a thumbs down from me, she seems to force poor jokes, not amusing at all.
Well, she’s a super successful comedian and I loved this episode. But then I’m not stuck in 1977. At least you can hear the Bay City Rollers on radio,
Aisling bee is just terrible
To sexist blokes. The rest of us adore her.
aisling bea is so not funny. the most dull comedian ever.
Says you. Not the people who pack out here shows, and who loved this episode. But who listens to you.
