Have I Got News For You (BBC2) threw up the most unexpected, shining star since Roy Hattersley cried off and was replaced by a tub of lard. Sir Rhodes Boyson MP, turned out to be a master of dislocated dialogue. There seemed to be bits missing. [...] Sitting under a newspaper headline which said Absolutely Knickerless, he spoke for two and three quarter minutes without relevance, coherence or diffidence. And two and three quarter minutes is a long time in show business.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 30th May 1994
