Anyone watching Have I got news for you?

[Daniel]

I've never laughed so hard in my life :D

[Jefe Máximo]

Stop Press!!

[BDunnell]

That was really, really brilliant. Brian Blessed is a gem.

[Dave B]

Dammit, waiting for "a bit more" tomorrow.

I've got tickets for the last two episodes this series, not sure who's presenting yet.

[Daniel]

For people in the UK :)

Contains naughty but ****ing funny language so be warned :)

I will have to watch it on the iplayer, i was out unfortunately at the time. I do like Brian Blessed though, he is always funny :)

[SEATFreak]

My folks think he is "too loud" and an "attention seeker"!!

He is just a very jolly and exrovert person who likes to entertain people with himself. His character and nature.

You cannot beat the new Mayor of London though! Boris is a fantastic foil for Paul Merton and Ian Hislop to take this piss out of. I hope he does a show before the end of the series.

I think that's kinda of the point.

I doubt we'll see him on the show again for a while. He has to prove himself as a serious politician now.

Brian Blessed for BBC F1 coverage! :D

Seriously, if they stuck him in the pit lane he wouldn't actually need a microphone to make himself heard over the engines...

[Hazell B]

Seems I'm the only person to think Brian Blessed is just really annoying :p :

Waiting for the Little Bit More.... version.

[Azumanga Davo]

The impressions they do of him on Dead Ringers was spot on, I reckon:

"HELLO, I'm BRIAN BLESSED!" :D

[Dave B]

I watched it very late last night slightly worse for wear, and I'm going to have to watch it again sober to check it wasn't one long hallucination! Good grief, the man's like a 20-stone hyperactive child with a dead badger glued to his chin :eek:

I know. Try telling my folks that. :(

Which, anyone sane would have to admit, would be one annoying child :p :

In a fairly short dose, he was funny.
Still hope they don't have him back, though.

I agree. Just like when Bruce Forsyth chaired the show, it worked brilliantly once, but wouldn't work a second time — probably!

Y'know, I think HIGNFY really, really needs Michelle Gomez as another OTT guest presenter. She's the mad Scot who played a sex hungry admin in The Green Wing and is as potty in real life as her TV character and Brian Blessed put together.

We saw her in some Shakespeare the other night which she managed to ham to perfection without getting too Blessed about it. In fact it was so good, we tracked down the director to tell him how much we enjoyed her Shrew.

Guest presenters beat Angus Deayton any day :up:

Only if he pays extra. :p

Don't pick on Perkins. ;)

Seems I'm the only person to think Brian Blessed is just really annoying :p :

:up: :up: He's a t**t :p :

:up: :up: He's a t**t :p :

I've been through the alphabet in my head, and the only word that can possibly fit your stars is twit.

Oh, hang on a minute .... :laugh:

[donKey jote]

He's a t...what ? :dozey: :p :

This thread made go U-toob and left me wondering what the fuss was about... a fairly average HIGNFY IMDO (in my donkey opinion) - I only laughed out loud twice :)
Or maybe my english side is slowly but surely going down, ach du schitte was soll's :uhoh:
