My favourite bit of the Widdecombe bit was she was apparently disgusted by Jimmy Carr's "rude" bits. In which case, my admiration for Jimmy Carr improves again.
Anne Widdecombe and Russell Brand episodes are in the top five ever HIGNFY, along with Brian Blessed, Tom Baker and of course, Brucie.. Just non stop laughing... thank you so much
@@couldntmixapotnoodle That was my favourite. @halloeverybodypeeps Russell Brand? Really? Well, that would be a turn up for the books. I've never seen Brand being intentionally funny.
Oh, man. You left out the "Charles to cement, come in, cement" exchange between Clive Anderson and Chris Addison. Clive's misunderstanding and Chris's embarrassment was one of the funniest bits of that particular episode. 😞 Apart from that, I want to say thank you for your weekly uploads of these compilations. I've watched as many of the episodes that were uploaded on TH-cam (and later removed from now-deleted accounts) for a little over a decade now. It's a joy for this American to see some of the events I remember seeing long ago (and some I've forgotten) all over again! So once again, I thank you!
That's Kirsty Young. She's a great presenter and always a real laugh on HIGNFY but hasn't done much telly in the past few years because she's had some health problems. However, I have seen her popping up a few times recently so here's hoping she's through whatever the issue was and we can see more of her again.
True Story Paul Merton said on Parkinson. That this Ep was bad. In the week leading up to the show, she apparently sent the script back with notes on how to write jokes & was obnoxious to the floor manager during this show as they stopped filming around eight times while she was telling them (highfy) how to film the show.
she is a character, like Emin or Christine Hamilton or Paula Yates, they may appear to be dreadful people, but they do make for good telly. Characters all.
I think the sort of insufferable tw@ts they would get on to take the piss out of (like ann widacome) got wise and refused to be on, now only people they like host the show.
Ann Wid really ruined the show, though, racing through it like a 1960's school teacher doing a revision quiz and not letting them expand on their answers.

remember this joke from 2007 when russel repeats his BS 'The deep state is starting to attack me for telling the truth' crap he keeps talking about. Seems like everyone knew from day 1 he was not right in the head.
@@DeanMoxley87 If that’s true i can’t agree with her views, still doesn’t mean she’s not hilarious. I also have no animosity when it comes to people who are Pro Life, i’m Pro Choice but i understand their reasoning. Not sure what the chaining people to beds is all about but in the end it doesn’t change she gave me a wonderful laugh and she’s just a funny person, possibly with bad political views 🤷🏻♂️
I totally get why people don’t like Russel Brand but his wit seems fine. Stuff like this and his appearance on Norm MacDonald Live have slightly warmed me to him
He was always narcissistic and kinda dodgy in that "never know if he put roofies in that drink or not" sense. This is the sort of person who charms their way through life and thinks abusing others trust and using fame and money to coerce is perfectly acceptable behaviour, so long as nobody who matters in their little circle blabs about it.
In case anyone is curious, after some research, it turns out the claims Andy’s talking about there were actually about David Lindley (Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon). It appears the inclusion of the Queen in the story was incorrect. Charles was involved with a gay sex allegation in 2003 if that’s something that would interest anyone lol
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

@@RandomShinigami7 the youtube comment section really isn't where you ought to be on about this shit.
@@RandomShinigami7hearing the allegations against Brand was about as surprising as hearing the sun had risen.
The Anne segment is a classic , a masterpiece of quick wit and repartee .
It was all going well and then Brand ! He makes my flesh crawl for some reason
for some reason ? I bet you know that reason by now, don't you ?
Aged well those clips…
Frankie Boyle creeps me out far more than Russell Brand.
At worst, Russel Brand could give your groin a little grope. Frankie Boyle looks like he might actually want to Kill you.
@@susi-emily frankie tries to be creepy, though.
Fair play to Anne Widdecombe. took it all in her stride! Thanks for uploading
Yeah, I don’t really like her but I’d have to give her credit here.

Oh good. Now Sunday is complete. Thank you.
Ian Hislop is absolutely adorable.
The Superdog thing they missed an opportunity for a Bark Kent joke
Paul’s running book joke is great
Methinks Russell Brand was chemically enhanced.
Thank you for the upload.
ann widdecombe is like a deputy head teacher
Whoever put Widdecombe and Jimmy needs a raise
here I was, floundering around in times past, best of 5 close to 6 and BOING!!! this pops up. 34. Thank YOu.
i remember the widdecombe one when it was first on -still today my all time favorite episode - she was brilliant on it
Boy
Yet she refused to come back afterward citing this very episode as to why.
@@giftheck Because she wasn't in on the joke, she was the joke. Her lack of self awareness worked so well in this episode.
The Anne Widdecombe episode was the most wild shitshow 😂

Arbuthnot, but yeah, it's not a great name for anything.
_I cannot fail to not disagree with you less_
- Boris Johnson
Paul's Face the entire time Russell is in the studio.
Charlie Brooker writing an episode of Black Mirror in his head.
And Widdecombe was....goddammit. Bloody telly making me like tory politicians. Fml.
@@randomhumanoidblob4506 Everybody Loves A Train Wreck.
Paul knows an attention seeking twat when he sees one.
After watching, I read The Ghost Writer. Very interesting and disturbing.
Shame the film is directed by a child rapist, who was a know child rapist when Harris wrote the screenplay with the child rapist for the film.
Thanks for posting.
Paul always reminds me of Takeshi Kitano, not as a film director, but as a comedian 😂
Done and the young lady, Kirsty ? Is a stunner. Her husband is a lucky man.
2:23 - 2:31 So many hints in this show that Boris Johnson is not the one you want to run this country.
Or any other country for that matter. He's even less qualified than the queens cousin was, yet that twit was actually re-elected😏
when we look back the warning signs were all there weren't they.
The first host, the blonde lady, I don't recall seeing her on in the last few series.
She is proper good.

Oh god, I just started the section with Russel Brand and JACK DEE as host. I need to hide behind several doors so people won’t hear me dying
The Russell Brand - Jack Dee combo is pretty priceless

Love the compilation, but why no season 33 the best of HIGNFY?
This was the time brand did coke
Russell Brand tries too hard to be funny and just isint
This was a period when the panelists (mainly Paul and Ian) took the actual piss out of the hosts, and it was great.
I think the sort of insufferable tw@ts they would get on to take the piss out of (like ann widacome) got wise and refused to be on, now only people they like host the show.
Anne Widdicombe as herself, as always. Bit grim. And Russell Brand totally off his head. Apart from those two, a good compilation!
So did Russell go to do a couple of lines in the loo or not?
Ann Wid really ruined the show, though, racing through it like a 1960's school teacher doing a revision quiz and not letting them expand on their answers.

25:50 I swear that first model is the one from Atomic Kitten.
2:09 "The worst actor ever"? He's no Daniel Day Lewis, but James Cameron got some pretty solid performances out of him. (Particularly 'True Lies').
You had omad jalili apologising for his impression but you didn't show us the impression!?!

I never wanted to like Russell Brand but sometimes he's fucking brilliant

2007.. back when the program was still at least marginally funny.
In fairness it's hard to joke about current, current events.
It's too painful.
And comedians can't compete with organic tragi-comedy.
Before Cameron destroyed the Beebs impartiality and inserted ideologues into important political positions of all kinds.
there's a group that still whines about Frankie Boyle being gone from Mock the Week
Sarah Cox, they were desperate that week.
