      I beg to differ. Ian Hislop is an international treasure. And don’t even let me get started on the genius of Paul Merton…

Do we have a deal or not? ..if he was fond of dogs they would have put a dog head in his bed.

      It's called setting a precedent for such threats, and since they're lawyers that's how they think of it... as the standard.

    I love British panel shows: HIGNFY, WILTY, 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown. Kirsty Young's Voice is so sexy. PS I'm half British. Scottish Granny and Irish Granny. We don't have these shows in the United States.

    80% of the jokes aren’t funny, 10% of the jokes are puns, I don’t like Paul Merton, or Ian Hislop, and the news stories are a decade and a half old… but here I am again watching it. I think it’s nostalgia 🤔

    The Scottish woman has made her name solely down to loving cats and going on and on and on about the fact she loves cats.... suspicious!

    It seems nobody got the Scunthorpe joke? Because a woman said it?

      Yeah I always knew he had no sense of humour and that proved it. Anyone who doesn't laugh at Fenton has no soul.

    What put me off this program was when angus deaton left it was so obviously scripted but he managed to pull it off unlike any of the other presenters

      Paul Merton was as savage toward Angus as I've ever seen on TV. And he didn't need to lie. I loved it!

    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?"
