I appreciate you for posting episode one, I am an American, and a huge fan of Ian Hislop. It is so nice to be able to watch the old episodes, thank you for making it available.
And has translated into equally brilliant adaptation(s) for other nation(s). -Finn, who used to watch the Finnish variation ("Uutisvuoto" / "News Leak") of the show regularly
Oh my God. I was born in 1990, so this clip and I are the same age. Also, HOW long have these guys been in comedy? Ian looks about 15, lmao. Sandy's been in the game as long as Ian? I had no idea!
As on the first few seasons of the Would I Lie to You show, Angus Deayton seems to prefer to hurry the show along so they could go through more segments. For the first few seasons of Have I Got News For You, he does not give the panelists time to get the answer or make more jokes by Angus himself giving them a clue or the answer quite soon after the question was asked. As can be seen with the success of both shows in their current forms, more segments (or going through more questions) are unnecessary for their successes. I am also happy to see Ian win - that's a rarer outcome.

The beginning of a beautiful thing. 😍
For record: I love Ian's smile, and it's nice to see it so fresh and spry here.
Sandi Toksvig very talented even back then.
The first of the old thoroughbred shows. Long may they continue
The format still stands strong after 30 years, up to 30 more years!!

Ian is so young!
I didnt realise Sandi was on the first show...wow
Watching this is Feb 2022 😆😆
Thank's for posting!
Love this show.
Angus's suit is soooo ill fitting. LOL Thanks for the laughs from this beleaguered American!!
I suspect so
In 1990 the wider and bolder the shoulder pads the better 😂
I can’t take my eyes off it! Did he borrow that suit from David Byrne?? 😆
Ah the good old days :)

Yoinks! I was still in high school when his came out...
those were some shoulder pads!
They got a lot of mileage out of Archer and the "To Share Or To Shaft" man.

Maybe that was a side effect of the cocaine he used. You never know
@@theravenhaslanded321 Could be the prostitutes...
I love Sandi in “yes, all right, that’s clever, i suppose, but could you please shut up while i give the correct answer?” mode.
Sandi looks out of proportion in this.
Was Angus Deayton in a Talking Heads tribute band?
OMG this is looking ancient.
Angus is dressed as Rodney Trotter would be in his usual ill-fitting suit.
"20 years for murder but acquitted of genocide" not a bad day
that woman really had it in for Joan Collins maybe she refused her an interview
Lol Joan Collins is no Kate Hepburn hon. 🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me, or does Paul have a more posh accent in the old days?
People used to take chainsaws on airplanes?
Awful camerawork/clipping. It makes no sense.
