Cracking HIGNFY Friday/Saturday !!!

Why did Boris Johnson put himself through it again ?

Has anyone seen the new DVD out featuring his first presenting stint?

The extended version is even funnier !

Does anyone read 'The Spectator' ?

More to the point, anyone from Henley on Thames, on the forum, actually admit to voting for Boris as MP ?

On the first show, he made an ar$e of himself or just typical Boris. His second show just shown recently showed a bit more professionalism in being quiz master but was still throughly enjoyable.

I had doubts at first seeing him again as I thought they were trying to use different presenters every week but it was a good 30/40 minutes of laughter throughout.

I wonder what happened to Trevor McDonald that was listed in every TV guides?

Boris Johnson yet again showed what a complete plonker he is and ruined another 30/40 minutes of BBC1/BBC2 airtime!

Disgraceful! Rolling Eyes

I didn't think it was as bad as last time though.

From what I remember of the last apperance of Boris, the forum was split on whether to like him or not. Boris is one part of the Have I Got News For You history. I thought he has added something to the show as a guest host. Agreed he's not the perfect host but he's good to laugh at even if it's only for 30 minutes.

I would like to see a show where you had both Boris Johnson and Charles Kennedy on it. Now that would be an interesting combination.

For those who moan about Boris, I remember when they had just a tub of lard as a guest in place of Roy Hattersley and the Tub of Lard probably got more laughs than Boris did!

Perhaps ITV vetoed his appearance like they did with Des Lynham.

I also remember the one where they had David Shayler as a guest but seen through a television and helfway through Paul turned the tv off. Laughing

But surely that's the whole idea of having Boris as a guest on the show.

It could be worse Boris could be an MP, oh wait a minute he is... ...well at least he isn't Prime Minister.

I don't think I've seen someone miss the point quite so spectacularly
