I don't know about bringing ISIHAC back. I suppose the old farts deserve to eke out a living from it for a bit longer if they can. Can't imagine who'd take over from Humph. Nobody smutty, please. I like the idea of Rob Brydon. He's funny, but quite innocent.
Brydon's done it on tour, hasn't he?
Yeah, I never heard any clips of him doing it though - was it broadcast on that TV show recently?
Going with a complete non-comedian would work too. (Resists 'Simon Pegg' gag). Very difficult shoes to fill though.

No idea, but you know exactly how Brydon would deliver those innuendoes about Samantha and Sven and he'd be splendid.
Hasn't it already been announced that it'll return, and who'll host?
I think they are planning to return, but no host has been decided?

I thought it was going to be guest hosts?
Yes, I think it was.
As I understand it, nobody wanted to take over from Humphs straight away which is why they are having guest hosts for a while. Stephen Fry is apparently the front runner so expect him to be one of the early guest hosts.
I got this from Barry Cryer being interviewed on The One Show a while back I think.
Hey, Sofa_Matt!
Don't like the idea of Stephen Fry doing it permanently, I must say.
QI.
QI for me too. It's like learning while having fun!

Given the support for ISIHAC, I reckon I'll check it out properly. Haven't heard much of the show.
I love most panel shows: QI, HIGNFY, Mock the Week, WILTY. I used to love Buzzcocks, but the quality of guests can let it down. (I mean, Vanessa Feltz!)
I'd also agree with ISIHAC and I'd give Just a Minute a nod too, although again, that depends on the particular panel.
What's the radio show hosted by D. Mitchell that was similar in style to WILTY? It had some reasonable moments (i.e. those involving Mitchell), though it was terribly scripted. Not a favourite.
And "My Word" is another good radio programme. I think it was from the UK.
