turned over.

I don't watch this programme anymore as I find it hideously tedious and boorish. Isabel Hardman is rather appealing in a "jolly hockey sticks" kind of way but I'll stick to watching Birmingham v Cardiff mesen.

Oh my god the love of my life is on Isobel PLEASE lift the restraining order!

never ending supply of comedy from trump and the torys

The show has been dumbed down to appeal to the lefties.

never mind aka, one day eh?

One day eh.

Trump - IN.
Torys - IN.
EU - OUT.
Union - In.

What am I waiting on?

getting the joke

What's the labour party got to do with it?

they are the ones laughing

I used to enjoy HIGNFY but had to stop watching around 2015 when the left-wing bias became too cringeworthy.

folk on here seem to watch it every week to check their perceived bias still exists

stop watching it 5yrs ago.heard its not been recommissioned

not been renewed,end of an era

bbc said they are to move away from all panel shows....

Possibly because people are fed up of panels consisting of people who all share the same point of view. I don't blame em, pretty pointless exercise these days when no one dare dissent against the network line.

i founnd mertons sneering arrogance offputting considering his input was pretty much the same

Comedy equivalent of a one horse race week after week, and still people watch it.

people fed up of tv bar us oldies

bbc doing its best to prove tv was better in the past

when they all started looking at merton after cracking a gag the game was over

TV was better when people didn't feel forced to parrot the PC line. Panel shows are now finnish, comedians-already boring in the main- will be next.

micky flanagan is very good saddo-have you watched him

He and Lee Mack are about the only two I would watch chav.

boring to you as they disagree with your views

if it was half an hour of corbyn bashing the forum would be delighted

as evidenced by the bias in so many posters across the forum

highliting trump as a clown may get boring when hes gone from office, but that he
continues as leader of the free world banging out stuff on the internet and bumbling through the
week is great viewing , they are all at it though so hignfy has lost some of its charm

As long as you get mileage out of it, keep watching donny. I'm guessing viewing figures will be well down these days, compared to two or three years ago.

yeah lee mack like a machine gun with the one liners

all viewing figures are down so you dont need to guess

I'm sure programmes which set out to alienate half their traditional audience will be faring much worse than most, donny.

i wouldnt think half of bbc viewers are pro trump

Half of them would have voted brexit though. The pc brigade have made topical comedy panel shows extinct in a short time, they will not cease.

half?, not quite ....half of 80 percent voted for brexit

that the tories are making such a pigs ear of getting us out is also funny and the
60% who didnt vote for brexit may as well have a laugh before we leave

may stumbling from crisis to crisis would have been replaced by corbyn if he had formed
a government after the election but he didnt so its in mays hands.

Interesting that you seek to skew the figures there donny. Using your method, almost half of 80 per cent voted remain, but you elevate that figure to 60% by adding the 20% who actually didn't vote.

yeah because those 20% can still watch bbc .....

half of 80% of electorate voted brexit ......       .5 x .8 = .4

you were talking about the % of bbc audience alienated , or so i thought

not those that voted remain, that would suffer the same reduction as those that voted brexit

thats not to mention of course those under the age of 19 who can watch hignfy
and didnt get a vote, therefore further diluting the % of audience that actually voted for brexit

I'm sure programmes which set out to alienate half their traditional audience will be faring much worse than most, donny.





^^^^ your 23.59 post

I was talking in general terms donny, that's all, no need to guild any lilies really.

Regarding modern comedy, this c+p is from a column a while back, but i think it hits the nail on the head.

The rise of observational comedy has played a huge role. People now expect to go to comedy not to be challenged (and to laugh whilst being challenged, regardless of their political views) but to agree with the comedian. They expect to nod their heads and chuckle, ‘That’s exactly what I think.’ It’s rare now for anyone to go to comedy and think, ‘I disagree with everything that person has said – but it was bloody hilarious.’ And yet the idea of an audience laughing because they agree with you – and only laughing because they agree with you – is dangerous. Because it means you can only ever speak to one kind of audience: the one who votes the same as you. This is toxic.

but even in general terms you were wrong

its a significant percentage, but not near to half

not all those who voted brexit will be so thin skinned either

Ok donny, you are right and I am wrong, hope your day is much better for it.

my day is good anyway saddo, even without a snidey comment
