Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
Don't know if all of you will have heard of this show, but it's basically a current affairs/political late night panel show. Every week it's hosted by a different celebrity/famous person, and it has two teams of other well known people competing to see who knows the most about what's been in the news that week. It's a good show, and really funny if you watch the news and keep up with things because they put a slant on everything and make it comic.
Anyway, it was quite a while ago now so the news is all out of date, but c'mon, I know you're only watching it for one thing...

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
Yes, I've been watching and recording the show on Saturday - really funny indeed! And Benedict makes a very good figure as a TV host.

Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
Really funny! :D And the show just gets better because of Benedict 
it's almost exact the same as a show we have here in norway called" Nytt på Nytt".

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
I watched this show about 2 months ago for the 1st time because of Ben and I watch other series since that time, it's awesome!

Sherlock: "I need to get some air, we're going out tonight."
John: "Actually, I've uh, got a date."
Sherlock: "What?"
John: "It's where two people who like each other go out and have fun."
Sherlock: "That's what I was suggesting."

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
I'm just seeing this now. Funny! Thanks.
If you like it, you would probably also like Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me... on NPR. Speaking of Wait, Wait and funny Brits, Simon Amstell was on the program not that long ago. He was hilarious.

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
I love this, it's very funny. He doesn't do enough of this kind of snarky humor and he's so good at it. I love all his dramas and he's brilliant in them, but I would love to see him in a comedy.

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
Absolutely fabulous! Benedict did such a great job. However, the Brian Blessed episode of HIGNFY still remains a firm favourite. XD

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
Ohh! So long since this was last discussed. I just caught up with this and Benedict is hilarious in this! Reminds me what good comedic timing he has. It's no longer on YT but Vimeo has it.

Re: Benedict hosts "Have I Got News For You"
I've rewatched it again and again and it just gets funnier everytime! Especially Part 2.
