Maxwell and his death was such a long running gag on this show. 20 years later and he still gets a (dis)honourable mention. Ian never let an opportunity to bring him up go by whenever a host or a guest had ANY connection with him. Angus too loathed the man and took every opportunity to put the knife in.
@@chrisoliver5649 yeah… Angus Deayton’s private life definitely left a lot to be desired but he was a brilliant host for this show. His dry humour works very well here
Anne Robinson looking fairly human - this must be an old episode! These days, she looks like something which was rescued from a fire at Madame Tussauds.
Yakuza members don't cut of their pinky in an iinitiation ritual. The cut it of and give it to their boss after they made a major mistake as a kind of peace offering.
There was a light blub that has been on for over 100 years in an old fire station in California. "Sometimes it seems like light bulbs burn out just a few minutes after you change them. And then, at the other end of the spectrum, there’s the Centennial Bulb in California, which has been burning since 1901. The light bulb hangs from the ceiling of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department’s Fire Station #6, about an hour east of San Francisco." NATALIE SOUTHWICK ·FEBRUARY 4, 2017
I have been a long-term super-fan of HIGNFY since it's birth, and loved and admired Angus Drayton for almost as long - for his wit and wisdom, and hence enormous s🇵🇸x appeal. But "TESCOS"??!! Seriously?? I am so dismayed 🤐.
Paul is wearing a Lifeline t shirt. I had one of those with a white rhino on it in 1992. Nice bit of early nineties fashion and also the proceeds went to charity. I always notice what he's wearing, but I notice even more in the older episodes.
My god, Anne was so shy, hardly looking at the camera or audience. Arms folded, head bowed, coquettishly looking up whenever mentioned. Don't tell me she felt dominated by 4 men!
More like she was embarrassed as she knew MR Maxwell would be brought up, especially by I H, as his mag had been sued so many times by the reprobate, of which she was an employee.
Actually the audience is quick and often can see where the joke is going. But as I listen after yr comment, the laughs mostly come after the comment time and again, at least 9 x out of 10. This after listneing between 7:00 and 7:43.
