That line from Victoria about “is the manifesto supposed to be a massive surprise?” has stuck in my mind since first seeing this years ago... brilliant.
Thank you str1tsa. I've lived abroad since 1980. My younger brother has always visited me regularly. During the 1990s and beyond, being the lovely lad that he is, he used to bring me VHS tapes full of HIGNFY which I would binge-watch. Sometimes the tapes would have something else on them which had started in the UK, such as Shooting Stars. I kept all those tapes on an old office bookshelf in my bedroom until about 10 years ago when it became clear to me that I would never take them out and play them again. You are now fulfilling the role of my younger brother as my HIGNFY supplier. Cheers.
Wow Miles has really aged since 2015! It's only been 7 years. It must be all of those kids that he has and being home with them during the covid lockdowns! Lol
I was such a big Alan Coren fan, when I read his hilarious articles leading Punch magazine. Somehow his daughter leaves me cold and fast forwarding. The rest is brilliant as usual.
The thing about Hislop is that he kicks everybody, not just the people he dislikes. Like it or not politicians need someone like that to keep them in line. Also Prescott is no saint. (He is agreeable at times though, granted)
On the election special episode : i am sorry Paul but if they subtracted points for jokes that didn't work, you would not win anymore these last ten season of the show .
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?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-POO4lrTclNY.html
