Series 39 - Have I Got Election News For You

Have I Got News For You. Lembit Öpik. Copyright: BBC / Hat Trick Productions
The 2010 General Election is finally over - which gives HIGNFY a chance to mock Brown, Cameron and Clegg without having to worry about being impartial. With host Jo Brand and guest panellists Jon Richardson and ex-MP Lembit Opik.

Notes

Paul and Lembit are the winners. Jon Richardson and Paul Merton briefly swapped teams as part of a joke, and thus this episode briefly saw Ian and Paul on the same team.
