Have I Got News For You returns for a 66th series from Friday 6 October on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
Happily, there’s none of that in store as Britain’s sharpest, antagonistic satire returns for a 66th series on Friday 6 October at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer – of course, with the beloved duo of Paul Merton and Ian Hislop in tow.
Here are a few pearls of wisdom to keep you sated until the pair return to marshal the country’s political madness…Yesterday morning, I was wandering along and there was a young bloke filling up his van with ice. He turned around, stopped working, ran up to me and said, ‘your show is brilliant, don’t stop doing it’. And I thought, do you know? That seems to me reasonable advice!What I do now is I think to myself, OK, my only chance of doing this show is tonight.
We’ve never had a go at turning them ourselves. Does Ian look like he's ever done manual labour in his life? The closest he's ever got to manual labour is saying ‘I don’t think that wall's straight, can you do it again?': [Laughing] It seems to me to be taking away perfectly good jobs from the people who need them. I don't know what sort of Britain you want to live in!7.
