I love this programme but this format just does not work. Should have shown repeats.

This is one of the most bizarre pieces of TV I can ever recall seeing.
The whole dynamic is wrong.
It’s like watching a much loved friend die a slow, painful death.

Didn’t work at all. Fair play for trying but it’s a no from me.
While it didn't work and was fairly bizarre, a couple of the jokes had me in tears of laughter. The "Gyles Brandreth in a gimp mask" comment and also the "basically a Count".
I haven't laughed for a month. Literally have not laughed for a month. Today I did. So how about we keep it (and other comedy programmes other people find funny) and stop thinking we're all Clive James for a while? Everything is shitter at the moment. TV ain't going to be an exception.

Radio's better. The Now Show is making a pretty good stab at it.
Nah, it was a bit shit....it just didn’t work at all for me. As [MENTION=574]wolfie[/MENTION] says, the Now Show is much better."..

I thought it was alright. Rather have it than nothing.
I'd rather have a bad HIGNFY than a "good" Miranda.
A what ?

It didn't quite work without a studio audience, but I think a lot of that is in the edit, and they'll work that out for future episodes
A massive compromise, but fair play for doing it rather than most of the surrender monkeys who've just gone home and done nothing . . .R6 DJ's for example. Surely they can work remotely.

The wife and I watched Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip, Thursday night on ITV. We had not laughed so much for a while that it really had put us in a much better mood the time that it finished. Worth a watch.

Can't abide Gordon Ramsey and avoided the first series like the plague. However with nothing else remotely interesting on Mrs P made us watch it, and I must say it was actually quite enjoyable.

Inspired by this thread, I watched a few minutes of HIGNFY on the iPlayer. In terms of form, it seemed like a worthwhile experiment. But I found it as unfunny as always.
I think the show went downhill when Angus Deayton was fired and is a good decade or two past its sell by date. In a world where topical jokes flash around the internet within minutes and the best ones rise to the top, having a weekly round up of not so good jokes delivered by London bubble media luvvies just seems so dated and cheesy. Still, some people like it, so each to their own.
But if people here need a laugh then they might find this channel does the job.

I did like the peak running gag, and the police adding black dye to a lake to deter visitors by turning it into a Blackpool.
