HIGNFY S39E05 Jo Brand, Jon Richardson & Lembit Opik 

Opik is surprisingly witty and good fun.

"you should really write porn" "too busy living it, mate" Paul was on fire tonight

The most fun way to catch up on British history. I look forward to seeing Lembit Opik on the comedy circuit. Thanks, BH.

I think about how they talked about Boris Johnson in the 30th Anniversary ep being better for comedy than politics and I feel like Lembit fits a very similar bill. He seemed to genuinely to take all of this like a champ.

Love Jo Brand. Surprised at Lembit Opik; he's very funny as a Eeyore-type.

Paul is on fire this episode. Big fan of the Hislop-Merton coalition!

Thanks for posting

I've not seen this episode before. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for posting,

13:34 Portillo's is a famous restaurant in Chicago. They serve buckets of ribs and Italian beef subs.

Paul and Ian on same side - gave me goosebumps :)

Thanks for sharing. Great show.

poor old Limpit. no more expenses

very funny

Gordon Brown went on to provide a lot of fodder for future episodes of this show....

previously on HIGGY, Angus is still in the driver's seat, paul has gone on to other projects eddie izzard is in paul's usual seat, and paul comes on as ian's team mate, it has happened way way back in the days of long ago, Angus in the seat, that long ago

I think Ian drank too much raspberryade before this one, or smoked too much crack 😅

The great coalition episode

Very close to being one of the best ever. But who is this guy Lembit???? Never heard of him.

Oh look, it's Limp Biskit.😒

Mondays are MOANdays unless you add a Bigg Lump of Lembit. today on ReWatch : Lembit Opik Day. Wake 'n' Bake, sit back and observe Opik all day long. THX BH!!

People actually believe that Politicians run a country, twilght zone stuff

full of adverts

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?"

Brand and Richardson 🙄 The good ones were busy that week.

Eisenhower handed over the leadership to Kennedy when I was 12-1/2 months old. So I have lived a year of my life under a good, decent, honest Republican President. Not a minute since January 30, 1961, though.
