That’s why it’s so funny. Paul will always be aggressive but ignorant and Ian submissive but informed. Multiply that dynamic by 30 years and you have the greatest comedy duo to grace the small screen.
You can returns on busses. I know because I've done it many times myself. What's Paul talking about? Is this from a different time when bus returns didn't exist?
You could definitely get returns on a bus in the area I live in at that time. Perhaps you couldn't in London at the time, but it doesn't seem very likely (I know they were available in the 60s).
Never known returns to be available on London buses in my lifetime. Allowing for me to become old enough to be aware of bus fares, that's at least 50 years.

aw, the 90's, when most of you were just starting load your diapers, we Oldies look back with nostalgia to a kinder gentler time when you could tell jokes and poke fun without getting canceled. aw, nostalgia.
Yes, forgive and forget. Bring back Angus🎉

Friggin Paul!! Always jumps in to steal Ian's answer. P's me off big time. I like Ian.

woah boy, woah!

Jo Brand, like wine, gets better with age, I love her
Thanks for posting.
Kinnock is actually really funny, his "nobody came" joke was completely underrated
Ian Hislop got him on the show after meeting him and thinking he was a funny guy
This isn't just old school, it's pre-school
Just to add, Kinnock then went on to become a leeching MEP to earm megabucks and so did his family. Well done boyo.
Actually he became a commissioner, not an MEP.

I wonder where Gavin Nash is now?
Jo is so young! They all are. But Jo! Wild.
I know, at first I didn’t recognise her though I had a vague inkling
Before she was agreeing with throwing acid in people.

Funny Ian not knowing how Gary Numan was but yet has to know about grime "music" now.

Agree with reply to this but also remember Ian has kids, his knowledge of Pokémon was astonishing

What from this episode do you think would get canceled today?
Yeah, we don't have a single topical panel show these days
Yeah, its such a shame HYGNFY got cancelled in 2000 and hasn't shown since.....
