    This was the episode where HIGNFY stopped being HIGNFY and became The Brian Blessed Show and it’s still one of the greatest episodes of any panel show ever

    In 2011, the Univerity of York student union held a vote to rename the 'New Building Study Space' as the 'Brian Blessed Centre for Quiet Study'.

    Have I Got News For You is one of the greatest shows from the UK, been watching for years. Ian Hislop is a genius, and Paul Merton is a comedy great. Miss the Angus scandal, but the changing of hosts gives it a new dynamic. Brian Blessed episodes are regarded as by far the most hilarious episodes!

    My earliest memories of Brian Blessed is from listening to cassette tapes of Tolkien's Tales from the Perilous Realm, where he voiced Farmer Giles of Ham. So many long roadtrips as a kid listening to his voice.

    Believe it or not brian blessed was the original actor suggested to replace William Hartnell on doctor who and become the second doctor, while he didn't become the doctor he did eventually appear on the show in the 80's in the 14 episode series long adventure the trial of a timelord.

  • @jen6879

    I forgot Marcus Brigstock copped for both Brucie and Blessed. Absolutely brilliant! Aside from all his other pursuits, Brian has dedicated his private life to rescue work. He shares his home with hundreds of stray and abused animals from chickens to horses. Saw him live before Covid. The weather was horrendous and the start of the show had to be delayed due to severe flooding on the roads. Brian was obviously much later than everyone else, due to the distance he had to travel. He literally stepped out of the car and straight onto the stage, with rainwater dripping off him! He’d have been about 82 at the time and he never missed a beat. I’d also recommend the Jack Dee episode of HIGNFY. All I’m saying is Pot Noodles ;)

    • @njones420
      @njones420 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh god! This episode of HIGNFY had me in stitches from beginning to end! And the fact that Paul Merton completely lost it throughout the show made it even funnier! Love your reactions too lad! You should do the one with Trevor McDonald next!

    Another thing you ought to know about Brian Blessed, Noah, is that he's been voicing Grampy Rabbit in Peppa Pig since he was first introduced, who is just as enjoyable with his shouting as he his!

    Brian's amazing, just light the blue touch paper and stand well back. I remember an episode of the sixties spy show 'The Avengers' in which he played a villain. 'The Morning After' it was called.

  • @JohnUK22
    @JohnUK22 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Another unusual episode you might like to react to is from way back: episode 1 of series 11 -- the series that Paul took off to concentrate on another project. Eddie Izzard stood in on this episode, alongside Janet Street Porter and was unusual for another reason that I won't spoil. If that is you can find a copy as all I can see on TH-cam is a short clip.

  • @unanimousowlcouncil7377

  • @bigthecat100
    @bigthecat100 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brilliant episode, one of the all time greats!
    Marcus Brigstocke was a panelist on the Bruce Forsyth episode, that's probably where you know him from! ;)
    As for guest host episode suggestions, there are a few from shows you've watched recently : David Tennant, Rhod Gilbert, Hugh Dennis, Ruth Jones?
    There was also a dvd special that featured highlights from all of the years that Angus Deayton hosted.
    Plus (according to the Wiki) Brian Blessed has hosted twice, and Boris Johnson hosted four times, so you could always return to them in the future...

    El Supremo, Banzuke Brian, Santa (in Danger Mouse, of course he'd play that...) himself! Brian was the announcer in the remake of Micro Machines a few years ago, and I bought it for that alone!
    5:10 Foreshadowing.
    It was still funny talking about Boris at this point, because we thought it was safe to, 'he's only in charge of London, it's not gonna affect me...'
    10:38 Foreshadowing... Take a drink.
    14:02 Slogan, anyone?
    18:19 Drink.
    25:29 Yes, Ian, we're feeling it too.
    26:31 I call bullshit on that! 😏
    29:34 Boris flashbacks!
    31:14 I was watching on TV, so you get the countdown to an ad. I got the countdown at this point, and it wasn't the video. Ripoff! Rickrolling was so weird when it started, yet it's entry level stuff now. Baby's First Meme. Then there was the Pointless round where the contestants had to name the things you're Never Gonna... and they just played it instead of Richard reading them out.

    @p1nkelephants ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It would be great if you did an Angus episode. I know you said you might be doing the 1st episode but just suggesting something from series 3 onwards so you get a feel for what the show was like for a long time and what made it successful.
