I was a little surprised no-one went for the "Bill Bailey lookalikes created by the dozen when hard-boiled eggs dropped on barber's floor" vein, but maybe that's just been done? I love Bill's complete refusal to be offended by such jokes. Watching that "Towers of London" quasi-punk dude trying to rile him up with such material on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" years back and completely failing was wonderful.
I'm disappointed that even in the extended version the question about the keeper of the Scottish seal didn't get a single observation about the keeper of the Scottish walrus.

Lol I once many many years ago I met Paul Watson (a North American environmental activist) in a bar and met him because I said “sorry to stare but you look like …” and his table and ours had a great evening. But now I’m wondering if he was just a look alike 😂♥️🇨🇦
Everyone was great, but I think "Joke of the Episode" has to go to Helen Lewis and her "woman finds self pregnant" gag. Even the seasoned pros lost it at that!
Bill Bailey AND Helen Lewis. Doesn't get much better than this unless they had Jess Phillips, too!! I want to see Jess and Helen vs. Paul and Ian with Steph McGovern in the chair!! There'd only be small shards of Ian's tweed jacket left after that one!
i hope this comment doesn't age poorly, but i've always appreciated Paul's palpable disgust when the topic of sexual crimes comes up. i'm sure most people dislike sex crimes, but i'm always comforted by just how angry it seems to make Paul
50 k for stone seats in a damp country with no shelter yes of course. Thats more helpful than funding chess clubs 😂 it will cost more in providing pile medication through the nhs!
Ah, guess outdoor chess isn't a thing in London, eh? You don't normally supply the pieces for outdoor, inner city chessboards. (Or else you're on the hook for replacing them.) People bring their own. (Just like a basketball court) The appeal is A: You can play randos and even a novice player might do something unexpected that helps an experienced player stay sharp. B: Even if playing against a friend, and you both presumably have chess sets and could choose to play anywhere, fixed, outdoor tables tend to be larger and more comfortable to play on. Cheap chess sets are often small and can be annoying, as you strain to avoid knocking over other pieces. C: It makes the game more social. NYC actually has quite rich traditions of neighborhood gurus of chess, checkers and dominoes. Okay, obviously the dominoes games are more about the money, but there's still a skill element! None of this is to say it's wise public investment, just to give some insight into the logic behind it.
@@louieberg2942 like red-coloured candy, which is typically made from crushed cochineal beetle shells, or expensive perfume, which often contains beaver musk, or the majority of beer and wine, which use fish guts as a clarifying agent, or even plain bags of sugar, which often contain bone char as a whitening agent. It's truly insane just how pervasive animal agriculture is, yet most people will happily virtue signal and call themselves animal lovers while paying other people to abuse them.
This is such a lovely show. How Paul also stands by Ian with jokes that can go bad but now just are amazing. I wish the Dutch version was just a tiny bit as good as this one. The host is alright, the standard panelists are great, but the guests are just so cringy and gruesome.
My friend Billy had a ten foot willy He showed it to the girl next door She thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake And now it's only two foot four

Bill Bailey is such a delight to watch😊
Yes, if Bill Bailey is hosting then it's going to be a fun one.
Love the purple suit coat!
A delight he is (Yoda voice...) 🙂
@@zapfanzapfanOffended I am!
It's easy to see why they brought this panel back together again! Fantastic episode!
Best 5 I have seen in a long time...........loved it.
Possibly one of the funniest episodes. Bill Bailey is brilliant!
It's a formidable skill to make anyone smile during a round-up of the world's news, but HIGNFY never fails (for me at least).
Thanks ViVa.
Thanks! It's always good to see a Bit More News.
Even living across the pond and in the centre of North America, this always makes my week!!!
How remarkkable you send this joy to us so promptly!
kudos to all!
Thanks Viva
This show absolutely makes my week. TY so much for sharing ViVaHD.♥
Yay! Sunday night will have laughter again.
Before Monday doom
@billkingston4402 comes out Monday here in Oz so eases the pain
Possibly the best episode of this series so far!
Great panel line up
the apocalypse is nigh. ian has won 3 games in 6. we're done for ...
That’ll be rectified, surely
😂
His team wins so rarely. Nice!
Daliso has one of the best laughs.
The Hebrides anecdote was definitely a brilliant addition. 😂

Most hilarious episode I can remember seeing in quite a few years. Bill is a treasure.
Paul was on fire this week. This group are always great together 😅
That look he does at 23:25 is impeccable!
Thank you. This is such a treat.
I love how the laughter turns to cheers the moment he catches the pint LOL
Bill Bailey is always a terrific host on HIGNFY. Excellent episode!
Thank you!
Bill Bailey is brilliant, and the unedited version is so much funnier
Some brilliant extra bits there, thanks Viva!
Thank you
Why when Liz Truss speaks, does she look like she is doing a spoof of herself? 😂
She's just THAT inept!
I wasn't sure if it was Nerine Skinner's real impersonation, or the parody that is Liz Truss.
I will never, ever understand how they could make her Prime Minister. At no point has she displayed ANY skill or charisma.
@@louieberg2942 I think you answered your own question.
Because shes a pure clown.
Anything with Bill Bailey in it is so funny!
Love, love, love it!!!
Another brilliant show👍
Hats off to the closed captions. "Don't talk over each other" "*THEY ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER*"
I wonder if somone said that or if the captions writer was just getting pissed off! 🤣 i really hope its the latter.
This was a terrific episode.
This is amazing. They cut out so much great stuff.
Whew, finally got around to watching this weeks ep., thanks.
This is peak comedy😂😂😂😂
The last British stronghold - comedy!
I'm disappointed that even in the extended version the question about the keeper of the Scottish seal didn't get a single observation about the keeper of the Scottish walrus.
Best episode of the series. Finally some witty remarks by Paul
Hes great when he gets going. I remember a few years when i was a kid he barely spoke...I thought he was on strike or something.
@@serendipidus8482 exactly. Its definitely not the same as it was before covid. Even the hosts are getting more "PG" I miss Angus
@@anyquestions9931 i miss a lot of things. Do you remember spitting image? And brass eye? And the savage eye an irish one. Scathing political comedy. Now the news is the most laughable slapstick!
Thank you for posting!!
The cutting room floor must have comedy gold carpet.....
Putin walking along to the Get Smart theme
Ah...that explains Putin's limp. It's his shoe phone!
"Would you believe we'll take Kyiv in 3 days?".
Full episode crew roll out!
Simply brilliant!
Much funnier in Italy where it's the uncensored version!!.
In all those years, did they never use a metalworking magazine for Paul?
Bill's HMRC letter, lmao. Bureaucracy in a nutshell.
Bill = Legend
The Putin gag was just perfection.
Definitely the best thing Putin has been involved in in a very, very long time. 😂
i think its better in the "more" version because of the longer space between the putin updates.
Did we see that the last time he was elected?
There is a similar video...don't remember if it was post election.
Picturing another gag where they go with the "Sir Lancelot charging the castle" scene in "Holy Grail". You could even include the subsequent wedding slaughter as "Vlad greets journalists".
doesnt Trump do the same leaning thing that the guard at 19:06 was doing when he was speaking to the press
Trump thinks it makes him look thinner from the front, which is rather odd considering his perfect herculean statue and perfect weight.
My thoughts exactly - I immediately thought of Trump when I saw that.
Someone on this show once said he stands like the front half of a centaur
edit: I think it was Helen Lewis
That may be the funniest ever instance of "I thought that's digitally altered for humorous effect."
a bit more thanks ViVaHD
Legend has it Putin's still on his little stroll...
Let him walk, keeps his zany brain occupied.
Helen's hair is gorgeous.
Thanks for the upload from australia comrade
Lol I once many many years ago I met Paul Watson (a North American environmental activist) in a bar and met him because I said “sorry to stare but you look like …” and his table and ours had a great evening. But now I’m wondering if he was just a look alike 😂♥️🇨🇦
16:02 There's something wrong with me humor, but this bit about "sword-wrangling" had to be my highlight for this episode
Everyone was great, but I think "Joke of the Episode" has to go to Helen Lewis and her "woman finds self pregnant" gag. Even the seasoned pros lost it at that!
Really really 😂 (note no apostrophes, aphersands, etc) 😂😂😂😂❤
Bill Bailey is a treasure
Laugher is the best medicine.
Top notch👍
Oh, man, a masterpiece, hahahahahahahahah!
Oh, I got to listen to some Stephen Hough CDs I got. Good idea!
Excellent episode! 🌟 Thanks again!
17:53 Or Dr Chaotica from Star Trek: Voyager. 🖖🏼
30:11 Don’t worry Ian, I got the Trollop(e) joke! 😅
This made me rock with laughter😂🎉
Steven Segal seen here auditioning for the motion picture adaptation of Dracula Flow.
Bill Bailey AND Helen Lewis.
Doesn't get much better than this unless they had Jess Phillips, too!!
I want to see Jess and Helen vs. Paul and Ian with Steph McGovern in the chair!!
There'd only be small shards of Ian's tweed jacket left after that one!
Yeah 🎉 from Calgary
knobble? KNOBBLE?? no one said anything about no damned knobbling! i'ma write a letter to the editor, dammit!
Hob Nobs!
I'd fancy a knobble.
Thanks!
Great job.
So, did Putin make it? They never showed the remainder of his walk and now we'll never know.
i hope this comment doesn't age poorly, but i've always appreciated Paul's palpable disgust when the topic of sexual crimes comes up. i'm sure most people dislike sex crimes, but i'm always comforted by just how angry it seems to make Paul
Offended I am!?!
He will definitely become "Lord Zahawi" conservative peer
50 k for stone seats in a damp country with no shelter yes of course. Thats more helpful than funding chess clubs 😂 it will cost more in providing pile medication through the nhs!
I think the correct wording is "...made representations to the court, in the hope that their opinion might be regarded favourably."
And thank you @ViVaHD

"herself pregnant" 💀💀💀💀💀
I watched this with an english type. Will Jake Bullit be kicking the door in ??
Great walking gag!
Some say that Vladimir Putin is still walking.
35:10 fun fact, almost all paper is made with animal-derived gelatine and stearic acid.
Wow. So vegan paper is an actual thing.
@@greggjocoy7459 So many products happen to not be vegan because somewhere some animal product sneaks into the production line.

33:00 You think Windows 98 on submarines is bad, the US nuclear missile system was run on 8 inch floppies until about four years ago.
Damn, eight inch floppies are even older than me.
We have vegan croissants in Berlin for ages. tasze the same, just less fat taste.

Will you be doing a HIGNFY playlist? I like having this on as background for working.
You could put together your own.
andy street nearly won ...
SPOILET ALERT Thanks for recommending a rawvioli RERUN. Was still toss up between Jamie and Kush for me.😅
I see someone else watches both HIGNFY and Sorted. 😃
Chess table are a good idea. I dare you, go to Washington Squares Park in nyc, and try. Hint (you'll need more than luck)
Ian's comment about watching Stormy Daniels testimony of Donald Trump "as much as there was" is EXACTLY what she said. Not much there.
Ian's won!
The Putin wall is great with Stayin’ Alive over the top
My friend Billy had a ten foot willy
He showed it to the girl next door
She thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake
And now it's only two foot four
30:49
Love him.
Hope he gets fixed what ever he's moaning over.

32:57 ... and subs probably boot-load from floppy disk :)
I just noticed the genius of the name of HMRC. No matter the gender of the head of the royal family, it's still H(his/her)MRC.
Well, until you have someone wants to be referred to as "they".
Did Putin arrive at destination........?????😂

19:09 thats how you look after graduating from Trump university
