@@Chris-eb6yd Watch the recent documentary on HIGNFY. It interviews the producers at the time (and Christine Hamilton, who said the killer blow line "if my husband is disgraced, then what are you Angus?") It makes it far more clear that it wasn't Ian and Paul. Also after Ian and Paul had treated any and every other celebrity involved in a scandal in that way, they couldn't exactly not do it to Angus - especially when this was the second story about him. The reason he got sacked was he told the producers that there absolutely wasn't anything else he had done... and then the second story broke. They sacked him for lying about what he did, not for what he actually did.
I remember Eddie izzard ‘s ‘he said jam to everything, and people roared with laughter’ appearance. It was one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen from a comedian on a panel show, he was like quicksilver.
It's sad that being rich is seemed as a positive character attribute. The rise of people tate and musk as role models, because they are rich, but morally bankrupt is disturbing
Have I Got News for you Was at its very best when Angus Deaton was the presenter, he was incredibly sharp witted and got the best out of Paul Merton and Ian Hislop, mainly because they disliked him. They both contributed to him leaving but absolute respect to Angus for turning up to be roasted by Ian and Paul at the time of his scandal. HIGNFY was never the same after he left, it became more patchy occasionally good sometimes and more often in the later episodes rubbish. I really miss those days TV was at its best then.
Being interviewed on Radio 2's Sara Cox Show, Piers Morgan complained that every time he flies first class, he finds the caviar the air stewards serve him is too salty. Well, I for one am at a complete loss as to why this might be.
Slightly bizarre choice to change the order of the last two Piers Morgan clips when the last should run directly into the penultimate... 6:12 should run straight onto 4:45 or Angus' joke doesn't make sense... "We wont talk to you again." "Ever a man of my word - Piers"
Maybe he just felt the need to defuse the situation and bring the programme back towards comedy - otherwise, something nasty might be said, and lawyers would be getting involved. He's probably saved the BBC (i.e., the taxpayer) several thousand quid. The standard forum for this stuff is probably something like Newsnight - controlled environment, no live audience, no 'hospitality', expectations are clear. I would love to see the fully unedited recordings of these spats, but they'll never see the light of day.
Are you serious? Literally any one of them can run intellectual or comedic rings around him. Piers morgan is a sleezey parasite which is why he has a career meanwhile Anderson was QC and much respected television personality, Heslop is still being his intelligent, well informed self; editing private eye and appearing on HIGNFY, Merton has been a hugely influential comedian and also still a staple of the show. Piers Morgan has been maligned by every institution he has worked for and by people of every political, professional and social position in existence. I'm sure he's very proud of his time as the resident bellend on breakfast television, which, in his defence, is more respectable than editor of the tabloids he worked for.
@@sloanbishop1141 sorry, did you not read my comment? It doesnt matter how many years ago this was the people who appeared on the show with him are still doing their respective things and actually have people's respect. Piers Morgan is universally hated, the fact people still talk about him is irrelevant, people still talk about Katie Price ffs.

There's a huge difference. Mercer was a sitring MP at the time, working with a company that was found to be involved in illegal practices. Ian Hislop is paid to be on a panel show.
I'm old enough to remember watching Piers Morgan at the time. It's sad that he's somehow still a thing
Yes. I always remember the "people like him" line. Haven't watched hignfy in decades, but loved it as a teenager
And still as much a prick now as he was then..
Each to their own 😏
Sad to say, me too. You think that's bad, remember how having bojo on turned out....
Like cancer, he spreads, unfortunately
You missed the bit where Piers said to Clive "what do you know about editing a newspaper Clive?" and Clive said "about as much as you".
