I thought it was terrible, Rory Bremner looked uncomfortable, and most of the "jokes" were fifth-form level at best. HIGNFY is the original and best in this genre, Mock the Week was hardly original and puerile.

Who's that strange bloke with the funny voice, he was a guest on Ian's side on Have I got News... a few weeks before the end of the series and also appeared the other week on Mock the Week?


Sounds to me like you mean the (IMHO) very funny David Mitchell, best known for his lead role in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show and the Radio 4 series That Mitchell and Webb Sound.

In my opinion, MTW is not as good as HIGNFY, but is definitely good: let's say an honourable second place. It's far ahead of "What's the Problem with Anne Robinson" (um, too much botox?) and many others of that ilk.

Hugh Dennis is superb.
