Have I Got News For You - Series 51

Very good and thought it was a nice touch when Stephen Mangan dedicated a typical Ronnie Corbett joke to the man himself.

Yes, I liked the dedication too, and I thought it was a fab start to the series. :)

I don't think the scriptwriters gave Steven Mangan very much to work with.
Not sure it was a genuine Corbett tribute
More a get out clause for a rubbishy joke

Hopefully the series will improve when they have better more characterful hosts

Oh happy days - your name belies your outlook. Laughing out loud

I didn't really enjoy Tracey Ullman as host - she didn't seem a natural presenter - but the 'banter' between the guests seemed a bit more lively than usual.

Very much enjoyed the Reverend Richard Coles as he is my local vicar where I live and is as funny off screen as he is on.

Ex-Communards?

Yep, I've had a few conversations with him about his popstar days.

Coles is always fun whatever he's on, he has the air of a cheeky vicar from a Carry On type. I'm very anti-religion but I would make time for him.

I've never liked Tracey Ullman so I may be biased but there was something missing from her hosting but nowhere near as bad as when Robert Lindsay presented it, that was just awful to watch.

Watching Have I Got News For You talk about why the media didn't cover the Tory MP being involved with a dominatrix prossie, I couldn't help but think the reason they didn't cover it is because it would only be newsworthy if there was a Tory MP who WASN'T involved with a tom.

Ross Noble was good tonight. Loved how they made fun of Ian's Oxford days.

Yes, not a big fan of his but he was very sharp.

Never liked Ian, but Paul is always great.

Completely opposite for me.

MUCH better this week after last week's borathon.

I'll make a point of watching it tonight.

Like Herc I think Paul has got very lazy. He's got a gig for life.
