This is wonderful ! Two mates who are clearly very fond of each other and enjoy some banter. As Ian says, he had 300 items and I wish the series could just be these two going through all of those.
These two are gold together. Their connection is undeniable yet that friction is so fiery and fun. They have educated arguments about their sides, yet Ian will be honest with his "I know"🤭🤭 Glad to see Piers was "too toxic" for... anywhere 🤣🤣
Somehow it lends itself to a one on one, rather than making three of them sit and have a “safe and short “ statement about it. If something bothers you to a point you want to put it into a room, there has to be a debate about it.
Norway's late king Olav once let slip during an interview that his favourite food was poached salmon with strawberries for dessert. He got it everywhere and got really fed up with them.
But it's CLEAN, surely! I had a great univ teaching job in Doha, Qatar. Five days a week it was great but weekends were deadly dull and Brit coms and this show got me through
I love that Ian makes fun of himself so easily, but all of his dislikes are foils for other things, which he readily admits. With Chaplin, he absolutely agrees with Charlie's statements in the Great Dictator and, even more importantly, in Modern Times. Peasants getting crushed. Even old Ian must find the cocaine scene in that film hilarious. And bizarrely relevant.
What a weird attack from Piers Morgan in that clip to try. Asking people who come to watch HIGNFY, a show famous for having Paul and Ian on every episode, if they like one of those panelists. It's like asking people in an Indian restaurant if they like curry, or people in a Texas Steakhouse if they like meat.
Yeah.But there's another one with Nick Hancock as the host.There's also the radio version of this show which Ian was also a guest on one episode. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXhT_2NMj_Q.html
I wish they would bring back this format for Room 101. I don’t like that the panel show format seems setup for Frank’s cheesy punchlines, instead of actually considering the guests’ complaints.
Well, he didnt win so often in its early years. however, Ian is the full-time editor of Private Eye AND makes documentaries and has never missed an episode. So he's a bit busier than Paul. He is better informed in depth on major issues. However, Paul is a unusually quick, perceptive, and intuitive (and not uninformed on the past week's news). So he is able to guess what news story is referred to by a montage of four photos or short videos faster than can almost anyone else on Earth. And very quick with plays on words. often too, he just wins by a few points.
@@thequokkahaslanded321 I don't know who "so many of you" is. I just think it does come across a bit odd if, in a long-running series, one of the sides wins with a very, VERY wide margin. Asking why isn't necessarily anything against Paul; it can easily be simply a question as to "What's that about? What point is the show making by keeping that status quo without shaking it up to appear more balanced?"
@@beth12svist let me guess, you also question which books are in school libraries, but are very religious... right cupcake? Its entertainment, nobody dies if they lose. Take a chill pill and try a show that is about being concise not being entertaining 🤣🤣👍1️⃣🔥
@@thequokkahaslanded321 I think it's you who needs to "take a chill pill", it was you who started to throw around rather extreme words like "butthurt" when someone asked a question just quoting directly from what Ian himself said in the video. 😉 They got a very good answer to their question. You came along poking and asking another question, no one has answered you in 11 months, so I tried to finally give you an equally reasonable answer as the first one was.
. as much as I don’t like Hislop, he is not funny…but I agree about the three choices he made, beatles over rted, strawberries inferior to many others and chaplain creepy and not funny. And the fact he hates Piss Morgan…almost makes me happy.
