I could easily watch an hour of VCM telling us what she thinks about various politicians and celebrities. Clearly funnier that some of the jokes they wrote for her that she refused to read.
The Spanish presenter in the opening clips was asking the goat: "Zapatero, what do you think of Zapatero?" (Zapatero was the Prime Minister of Spain 2004-2011). So it was likely a set-up gag.
6:25 Nevermind where Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak is on that list, look where Dominic Raab and Liz Truss is? I mean Rees-Mogg is below Michael Gove and Suella Braverman for gods sakes. It is a wonderful perspective into how desperate the situation is today, if that was the numbers before the pound crash. I mean what is the principle difference between Suella De Ville and Petty Patel, except they carry a different variant of vampire curse?
Oh, they did a dirty one there with Jonathan Reynolds... making it seem like he answered the same question in opposite ways within an hour. In conclusion with the lead-up to the clips, they seem to be trying to paint Reynolds, and probably the Labor Party as a whole, in a light of incompetence. In fact, the questions Reynolds was aksed were quite different. The first time, he was asked wether the British Government should be preparing plans to ration oil and gas (i.e. in case the situation gets worse), to which he agreed. The second time, the question was "Should we be rationing our energy?" (as in, "right now"), to which he disagreed, adding "it would be a disaster" (in the current situation)
That idea about Tyrannosaurus arms is utterly unconvincing to me. Why would tiny useless arms be an evolutionary advantage over normal sized arms that have a slight chance of being bitten off? I believe their arms evolved to be used for picking their teeth. They have unusual two-digit claws that would be no good for grasping, but would be ideal toothpicks for keeping bits of meat from sticking in their teeth and causing decay. After all, a T-rex is basically a mouth on legs, so dental hygiene would be a priority. A T-rex with no teeth is doomed.
We all have long arms but can pick our own teeth. As far as I can recall all dinosaurs who walked on two legs had short lightweight arms. Maybe with such a large head they helped balance?
@@alexandermackie7621 Another thing that supports my theory is that the Tyrannosaurus' claws are turned inwards, rather than downwards like most bipedal dinosaurs.
@@davebox588 Yes, but our arms are not specialised for one task. I think the T-Rex's arms started to become vestigial because they were not used for fighting or locomotion, but stayed extant because of their utility as toothpicks. I've heard theories about them using their arms to help them to stand up from a 'prone' position, but their arms are of similar size and strength to human arms. Not very useful to support a creature that weighs several tons. I'd say using their tail as a counterweight would make more sense.
@@drewlovelyhell4892 According to QI and the Smithsonian an adult T-rex arms are over 3.5 times stronger than the strongest human. It could rip an arm wrestler's arm off at the shoulder.
Paul says Queen Victoria was Prince Charles' great-grandmother, but I'm certain she was King George V's grandmother, and George was Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather, so Victoria would be Charles' great-great-great-grandmother. Unless I've miscounted. I do apologise, I'm merely seeking out things to distract me from Victoria Coren Mitchell.
@@c.v.yardley Understood. Play of words. And what's with the freezer and chill? Victoria said "freezer/chills" and suddenly stopped as if to indicate that the joke was highly offensive and should not be said on TV.
Everything Ria Lina says sounds like its straight up read off a script that she worked on for weeks. Including the post-joke pause to stare at the audience. Such an artificial person...
Have you noticed how often guests write on a pad next to them or draw lines through what is on the pad? The show is partially scripted and they have a list of points to be made and jokes to be told which are annotated or marked off as the show progresses. Ria is not the only one who comes prepared , by any means. Perhaps her Aspergers makes it more obvious.
@@Kate-lk6tw Ian is the most obvious person doing it on the show. He's always crossing things off and making notes. He only does it once though at 7:30 in this episode, but generally he's far from being the only one. I only found HIGNFY last year and I've been going back through the series for some time now. It's my favourite TH-cam show and Ria is one of my favourite guests.

Never saw Paul in a regular suit before. Glad I'm not the only one intrigued 😂
I did notice that, lol◉‿◉
No T shirt for Ian
He scrubs up OK👍
He looks good in a suit, too.
@@smoog I thought so, too!

With even more Victoria quips! Wonderful!
Its almost odd after all this time to see Paul in a suit and tie.
I didn’t recognise him
Had he been to a funeral or something earlier???
Thanks for posting,I now live in Australia and the BBC wont let me watch it
42:00 Someone needs to make a compilation of Paul Merton's most incredible accurate guesses in the history of this show!
I never got the Jimmy Savile jokes until now after watching a documentary about the bastard. What an evil man. USA
You can watch his appearance on Have I got news for you, weird mf.

So good to have Ria Lina on, really liked how she could elaborate on a scientific headline.
Yes, she has a BSC, MSC and a PhD (Pathology, Forensics and Virology).

Victoria, as always, is stunning and funny!!! 💞💞💞
Missed the original broadcast, but knew I could count on you for the repeat!
RIA, RIA, RIA! LOL I love that lady!!! The hair is gorgeous!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Great to have Ria back
A bit more of a thank you, Vivahd, for a bit more of Victoria.
"Tits like coconuts!"
Hear hear! My good man
Nice to see Paul dressed up AGAIN though he doesn't do it often. He looks dashing in the suit. Ria is very funny.
What’s even more fetching than Victoria wearing her glasses?
Victoria _putting on_ her glasses.
Didn't notice she was wearing glasses.
Didn't notice she was not wearing glasses either.
All I saw was coconuts.

Ian Hislop is hugely funny only because there’s truth in his comedy.
Is Paul going to court after the taping?
Maybe he’d been to a funeral (or job interview) before the show? 😁
Thanks for the upload.
When did Paul start wearing a suit?? Also: unbutton when seated is the general suggestion?
A UK tv show, that's blocked from viewing in the UK????? I had to VPN to the states to watch it. WTAF?
Wow, Ria Lina is not only gorgeous but clever any funny too.
Yes, she has a BSC, MSC and a PhD (Pathology, Forensics and Virology).
Great-great-great grandmother. The suit has clouded his view of history!
Ha!
Cheers for the upload
Is it just me or is it odd seeing paul in a suit
I assume he's either on his way to, or from, court.
thank you for the upload

Why is Mike Graham peering around his mic, as if the interviewee is in the studio and hiding?

They need to get the studio audience back in I think. Not much need for those separating screens now either maybe.
@Real Aiglon The screens are there to placate angry viewers who otherwise call the studio to complain.
