What a gift that Labour wasn't in power. This is one of the worst, weak, incompetent and disconnected from reality shambles of a government since the war.
Can't make up my mind whether I'm glad the hilariously astute and succinct Jeremy Hardy died before the pandemic and ensuing shit show or not. But I do miss his humour.
Good humoured and funny, unlike the series just ended. No wonder Miles Jupp resigned. Now they are unfunny nobodies who giggle a lot and expect applause for saying something vicious about Trump, Brexit, Brexiteers or Boris. They laugh at their own “jokes” so don’t expect the audience to do anything other than clap. Come back Susan Calman. Vikki Pepperdine, Andy Hamilton and RIP Jeremy hardy (you are sorely missed).
"applause for saying something vicious about Trump, Brexit, Brexiteers or Boris" WTF else do you expect to do with such a collection of incompetent, venal imbeciles?
This was a brilliant programme which I didn't appreciate enough at the time - prescient, is how I should describe it now; we could not know, back then, how utterly dreadful Brexit would be. Mind you, we did know, the moment Andy Zaltzman took over as the programme host, that the whole thing would tumble humourlessly downhill. Not his fault. Lovely man. But as funny, in delivery and content, as the Speaking Clock. I wish it were not so, but one has to be honest - or where lies the point in comment? Eh? Answer me that: can't, can you? Sad decline, though ... I try to avoid it now; another avenue of pleasure denied me, to add to all the others.
sad day when miles jupp left the news quiz
Andy Zolzman has really grown on me, though and brought his own unique style to the news quiz which I have found really funny
@@jesswright8279 yea he's good, the guests can be patchy now though.
So funny. RIP Jeremy Hardy.
Hardy
I miss Jeremy Hardy. I wonder what he would think of the lockdown and the way the world is now

Interesting to hear about Warwick Castle at 8.17 point. Two years plus later D. Cummings could well have been saying that....
Whoever wrote that "bones in her droppings" joke ought to be given a knighthood.
Yeuchh, picking through the bones of something that has rolled out of Maggie`s knicker leg. I dont want to sleep now.
Thatcher was cremated. Just to be on the safe side.
POCKET SPICE!

Miles Jupp left because he couldn't commit to the show - missing a series in order to do TV was not on.
I miss miles jupp

Jeremy Hardy was fired by The Guardian for being too left-wing

Susan Calman is deeply unfunny and not fit to tie Jeremy Hardy’s shoelaces.
Christ, could this show be any more middle clarss?
Nope and I love it
Chill and enjoy Mr Hardy... and mull over the fact that one year on and nothing apart from the names seem to have changed... hm
Rich Mond "Christ, could this show be any more middle clarss?"
The use of the silent "ah" was a nice touch.
The BBC has only ever broadcast to the goodthink half of the nation.
