Have I Got News For You - Series 68

I've just watched tonight's edition.

I laughed more tonight than I have for ages.

Excellent. One programme that never fails to deliver

Note the absence of Labour supporters on here.

Eh?
I always enjoy it. It's never been a pro-Tory show. Far from it!

They always hold the incumbent government to account.
That's the whole point - jokes about people not in power is hardly satire.
GBNews viewers never quite understood that.

I always watch it Saturday evening.

I always watch the extended version on Monday night, which has some of the bits that didn't make the cut

I didn't know that.
Do you know if they put it up on iPlayer?

Yes Have I got More News for You is on iplayer, as is the clumsily titled new HIGNFYUS which is an American version for the election run in, and haven't looked at this and not that likely to myself, because I expect it'll just be another lazy Trump joke jamboree. yawn.

All part of the service - it is 14 minutes longer and well worth a look

I didn't say or mean that.

I meant Labour supporters didn't seem to enjoy it.

They do!

Very funny tonight, Merton especially quick.

I'll let you know after Monday when I've watched the extended version šŸ˜Š

Just got round to watching Monday's extended show, and yes, very very funny, I think I was laughing constantly as everyone seemed to be on top form - I love Miles Jupp, as he's a real scream and has a really good laugh
