but victoria always looks like she's got something up her nose. She really can't pull that look off now as she is 100 lbs overweight and did not age well at all.
Can anyone else hear David Mitchell talking when Victoria starts complaining about the dumbing down of the media? Those two were made for each other! 😂
Bless you, Victoria, for sticking up for QI. She's right, it's one of the few shows on TV that actually celebrates knowledge and doesn't assume the viewer is a complete moron. How rude of them to suggest otherwise!
Except that at the time this was broadcast Fry was still the presenter. He's pompous and condescending, and spends most of each episode mumbling unintelligibly. Sandy Toksvig is a HUGE improvement.
The show is well conceived. Paul has a very sharp wit and Ian has a great sense of humour . Kristy and Victoria are perfect in their touch of repartee.
Ian Hislop loves to get stuck in to other for their views, but doesn't seem to like it when it's aimed at something he likes. Not the first time I've noticed that.
He just doesn't like it when people correctly point out all nonsense around the royal family.I remember he said on the show once that he was having a party himself to celebrate the Queens birthday one year.@@BumMcFluff
@@alancawfield6549 yeah I actually like Ian a lot but he goes full-on "fingers in ears saying lalala can't hear you" when someone suggests that just maybe the UK doesn't need a monarchy in the 21st century
I always love HIGNFY, but these shows where BOTH Kirsty and Victoria are on are magic! Also, having Greg Davies crashing about making glorious fun of everything on the same program, it's too much, too good!
Kirsty is beautiful beyond words. Seems they have edited out a lot of Kirsty's laughing crack ups to make her far more serious. She's renowned for losing it completely and taking ages to get a re-take.
the psychic pig is one of my all time favourite hignfy bits. Starting with the perfect comedic non buzz. Followed by Victoria visibly heating up until she explodes.
She's touchy about that stuff because deep down she knows she's bullshitting herself about there being a god. Keep an eye out for it; it's always the way with smart people who are openly theistic -- they are particularly sensitive about their own bullshit being so much more sensible than stuff like psychic pigs and horoscopes.
@@samharper5881 I didn't know she was a god believer! I had heard David Mitchell making some dubious mutterings about possible god and thinking, "Don't tell me...!!! Please! No!" So are they both god believers, or is David refusing to rubbish god belief because he so adores Victoria? And is this a Xtian god?
@@georgielancaster1356 There's a great bit on an episode of The Unbelievable Truth where Victoria buzzes in on Henning Wehn's "invented by Jesus" bit just to see how David rules on it. (He gives her half a point because there might be a God.)
I’m so in love with Kirsty, love her voice, sense of humor and stunningly beautiful. The only woman who could tear me away from Victoria. (Who doesn’t look very happy here.)
Kirsty's voice reminds me of Loraine Kelly's voice. They both have soothing voices that are just so calming, especially while listening to them during Covid-19. I also think that even if they said something terrible it would still sound okay because they said it! Lol
Old Ian has had a great many likeable moments. He might seem cynical, but he has always been a good egg. It's hardly his fault that the UK that he reacts to as a journalist and a comedian is chock-full of the likes of Robert Maxwell, Rees-Mogg and bloody Nigel Farage, is it?
Hislop really gets on his high horse when people pick on stuff he likes. Reminds me a bit of Stephen Fry when he used to talk about something he was interested in on QI and the comedians would dare make jokes.
Was just thinking, When did Victoria marry David? Because that exact firmly dismissive tone, with that precision timing, when she disputed the pig's psychic ability was so utterly David, she must have been 'channelling' him! {Oh..just looked it up - that same year - 2012! I rest my case.)
Be pretty hard to hang onto a dead shark wouldn't it? All sharks are slightly negatively buoyant as they don't have a swim bladder. Perhaps it was a dolphin, they're often mistaken with those big fins.
@@Kate-lk6tw Oops, sorry Karen, they were dating at the time but seeing as this clip was posted well AFTER they were married I'll address her as married at the time it was posted. If she wants to be a feminist and hyphenate her surname, good on her. We've seen the shit feminism has made of the world, haven't we. They're the reason there are N to the power of stupidity genders
The interplay with Kirsty and Victoria is brilliant!.. The intelligent banter and timing is amazing.
but victoria always looks like she's got something up her nose. She really can't pull that look off now as she is 100 lbs overweight and did not age well at all.
Thanks BH. Always happy to be reminded just how gorgeous Kirsty Young is…
Can anyone else hear David Mitchell talking when Victoria starts complaining about the dumbing down of the media? Those two were made for each other! 😂
Finally, someone says it. They literally sound alike.
you stole my comment you bastard!! haha jk, and i totally agree, I imagine even their banal arguments are probably worth televising lol
@@papasy3748 ❤️😅
I only hear Kirsty
@@jamesm9995 who is Kirsty?
I always enjoy HIGNFY but this is by far one of the great episodes.
Kirsty Young & Victoria Coren ! I'm in for a treat.
Thanks for uploading all these old HIGNIFYs, Bowman :-)
And I wasn't disappointed - very good episode.
Bless you, Victoria, for sticking up for QI. She's right, it's one of the few shows on TV that actually celebrates knowledge and doesn't assume the viewer is a complete moron. How rude of them to suggest otherwise!
Sandi is a great host too. I wish the BBC wouldn't have cut-off people from seeing outside the Country.
except thatQI has fucked up on many occasions
They tend to correct their fuck-ups though. Don't they?
arrghgarry A lot less than the rest of the programs, particularly the news
Except that at the time this was broadcast Fry was still the presenter. He's pompous and condescending, and spends most of each episode mumbling unintelligibly. Sandy Toksvig is a HUGE improvement.
I love Victoria Coren Mitchel so much.
And Greg Davies, but mostly Victoria. She is a national treasure, and I'm not even British.
She hasn’t added the Mitchell yet in this episode.
This is THE most enjoyable ep I've ever seen.
All episodes are 😂😂😂❤
Kirsty and Victoria on the same episode, perfection.
I live in Australia and stumbled upon this the British have the best humour.😂😂
As an ex pat I just love this episode, it exposes all the humour the Brits deploy, sex, regionalism, hopeless authority control. Brilliant.
Expat or immigrant?
I’m sure it’s been said before but Kirsty Youngs voice!!!!! Daayum!!! 🔥🥵
Thanks so much for posting.
The show is well conceived. Paul has a very sharp wit and Ian has a great sense of humour .
Kristy and Victoria are perfect in their touch of repartee.
Even sitting down, Paul and Greg are towering over Victoria and Ian. 3:37 - 'With the greatest respect Ian, could you see through the crowds?'
Kirsty is an absolute delight.👏🔥
Brilliant episode. 5 lovely, whip-smart Brits at the height of their game. The antidote to Gammon Britain.
If Kirsty had given me the look she gave Paul at the 16:23 mark, I would have melted. She is charming beyond measure.
I am currently occupying a puddle of my own making...metaphorically (and really)
I don't know what I love more Kirsty Young saying "fucking" or Kirsty Young saying "Edinburgh".
pedro correa why not both! 🤗🇨🇦
Brilliant wasn't it..and Victoria's get your tits out...lmao
kinda wholesome that Ian just defends the jubilee as a great event and a fun day out.
The word that occurred to me was "sycophantic".
i love greg davies. subtly sharp minded
Subtly sharp minded? He comes across as a thuggish dullard.
@@fredcollierfinishingtouche6701
That's his schtick, but if you're paying attention, he's very smart.
Asim Chaudry said it best: "Greg Davies, Greg Davies, I wanna have your babies!!" lol
When a team captain tells off his own teammate and tells them they're wrong less than 6 minutes into the show, you know it's going to be a good one.
Ian Hislop loves to get stuck in to other for their views, but doesn't seem to like it when it's aimed at something he likes. Not the first time I've noticed that.

What a brilliant hosts she was!
That has to be one of the best HIGNFY's ever.
Definitely one of the best episodes!!
Victory Coren-Mitchell and Kirsty Young on the same show - oh my.
I love strong headed, intelligent women.
Greg Davies "startled deer" look is epic
Startled deer - fantastic description 😊
wasn't that Lenny Henry who stood behind the reporter talking to the camera ?
This was as close to a list of guest for a perfect dinner party as I could ask for.
Kirsty is lovely.
Thanks for posting.
The Dynamic Duo , Beautiful, Brainy , Humourous and Tactful . Hard to find in this world now . BRAVO
I want a ringtone of Kirsty saying “No, it fucking is!”
Kirsty is beautiful beyond words.
Seems they have edited out a lot of Kirsty's laughing crack ups to make her far more serious. She's renowned for losing it completely and taking ages to get a re-take.
"Well Kirsty, do you know your pretty face is going straight to hell?" - Morissey; Desert Island Discs
One of the better shows from this series
“With the _greatest_ respect, Ian…”
😆
thank you for the upload :)))
the psychic pig is one of my all time favourite hignfy bits. Starting with the perfect comedic non buzz. Followed by Victoria visibly heating up until she explodes.
Oh, Greg..... 💕
imagine a dinner party with this lot as special guests
Posssibly one of the funniest lineups i have seen
Kirsty Young & Victoria Coren are 2 very beautiful & gorgeous ladies ❤❤❤
Heh. I love the bit about the psychic pig.
Victoria: "It's not psychic!"
I could see David Mitchell doing the exact same thing in that situation. They really suit each other perfectly
Tetris- I was about to say the same thing. It’s obvious why she and David get along so well.
She's touchy about that stuff because deep down she knows she's bullshitting herself about there being a god.

Kristy Young: perfect voice to fall asleep
I just want to wrap her voice around me.
23:00 “That’s a good night out!” “That’s my perfect Friday!”
I bet david mitchell watched this episode and realised how much he loved victoria 😂 "its not psychic!"
For real, loved Ian's discription of the Flotilla~ experience.
"When the euro was actually worth something." Just leave it to the Brits to solve that problem all by themselves.
Lol, no Victoria, it’s not just you, lol
I’m so in love with Kirsty, love her voice, sense of humor and stunningly beautiful. The only woman who could tear me away from Victoria. (Who doesn’t look very happy here.)
not happy at all.....shes overshadowed totally by Kirsty
She's quiet after realizing that she is alone in not believing in psychic pigs.
@@andrewcook7229 Yep, not even in the same league..
To me, she tries to outwit/master Kirsty, and when Kirsty just ignores that, but tries to incorporate her anyway, she gets defensive.
I can see why Victoria married David Mitchell.
I can see why David Mitchell married Victoria.
I thought so! They're perfect for each other.
i can see why he married with her...brains and beauty, whereas David, just brains...
They operate with the same sort of angry logic
Kirsty's voice reminds me of Loraine Kelly's voice. They both have soothing voices that are just so calming, especially while listening to them during Covid-19. I also think that even if they said something terrible it would still sound okay because they said it! Lol
Kirsty's voice is lovely and has that news reader tone for sure. I hadn't heard of her before this.
Hislop and Davies had some sparks
Victoria Coren should be on this every week, just mocking everything.
I desperately want to hear Kristy Young's beepless swearing. What a voice!
Someday aliens will see Ian's team and refuse to believe they're the same species.
If Greg was on Paul's team, they'd have tipped over! Ian and Victoia would have been flipped across the studio, as though pitched by a trebuchet..
Victoria is great! Weird to hear her just called Victoria Coren though... In my mind she's always been married to David Mitchell
One of the more likeable moments of Ian Hislop. Cutting throught the cynicism about just enjoying the day.
Old Ian has had a great many likeable moments. He might seem cynical, but he has always been a good egg. It's hardly his fault that the UK that he reacts to as a journalist and a comedian is chock-full of the likes of Robert Maxwell, Rees-Mogg and bloody Nigel Farage, is it?
@@haeuptlingaberja4927When someone expresses an opinion, you don’t need to correct it.
@@haeuptlingaberja4927 matetr of opinion. He's ok. But in this case the cynicism came from Greg and Ian just told him off. Which was a great moment.
I love Victoria Coren.........."NOT a psychic pig."
Ah yes, one of those new two wheeled unicycles.
I wan’t to hug Victoria continuing to reject the ‘psychic’ pig
I have to say Kirsty is awesome
It's like the Twin's movie with Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger with Ian and Greg 😜
Victoria looks like her office chair has lost it's gas. She looks like the seat is set at 15".
Kirsty Young, great class.
They put the tall guy on the short guy's team :P
Ian didn't look like he liked the joke about being in the dock 🤣
Lenny Henry was hilarious
15:22 "Do you think she's guilty then? 'Cos she'll be on Taskmaster in ten years' time."
Thanks.
How Kirsty and Paul flirt! 😄😄
Greg was hilarious on all cylinders.
Kirsty Young. What a doll....😍😍
Well, I can't quit you Victoria! ;-)
Go Victoria!
Nice touch talking about Spain there
Hislop really gets on his high horse when people pick on stuff he likes. Reminds me a bit of Stephen Fry when he used to talk about something he was interested in on QI and the comedians would dare make jokes.
Gotta hand it to ya all brits you guys have the best hats
Oh wow, have you not been to the States Ian.. International public spectacle is our domain; it can be quite splashing.
Forgive a Yank but can someone please explain the 'Prince Philip Sonic Cannon' joke (28:55)?
At the time he was suffering of a bladder infection.
Americans don’t really say “Enjoy the rest of the day.” Sometimes we say things like “Have a nice weekend.”
two of the prettiest panelists on at once.
Greg isn’t that pretty
Victoria is in fine form!
29:04, adorable Viktoria
Stunning.
Kirsty is the love of my life. She is a beacon of beauty. Unfortunately I live 12,000 miles away and she is happily married. Sigh.
i see this episode is the villain story for the Taskmaster.
At 23:25 , I fall in love. Her perfect Friday, indeed!!
steveyj75 Sounds like a great night in :-)
When Prince Charles sings the Royal Anthem does he sing “God save my mum”?
I doubt it he’s dying to take her place 😂
No..he says Mummy 😉
12:14 she said im not going with pants on. Well, everyone pulls pants down so they dont shit in them, right?
Cock-up and lasagna, Ian Hislop? I worry greatly how you make your bechamel sauce...
3:36~3:42 with the greatest respect ROFPMSL😀😄😁😄😁😀😁😀😄
Ian drank too many juice boxes before the taping. I've never seen him so hyped up.
Kirsty Young is so good natured and smart and pretty

nobody on the panel could possibly ever have their trousers stolen!
Be pretty hard to hang onto a dead shark wouldn't it? All sharks are slightly negatively buoyant as they don't have a swim bladder. Perhaps it was a dolphin, they're often mistaken with those big fins.
Where else are you gonna get that? Nowhere. Ever. So, does that tell you something? Tartan and bearskin hats are not a rave, Ian.
Now, thanks to Taskmaster, Greg has ALSO had his trousers stolen
I love Mitchell, she sticks to her guns and hates stupid.
It’s Coren. She isn’t married to David yet here.
It’s written in the vid title.
