Have I Got News For You series 33
The thirty-third series of HIGNFY starts this Friday - tomorrow. It’s recorded the night before transmission - tonight then - and I’m sure we can guesstimate some of the topics they might be discussing. Faye Turney and the other marines taken hostage by Iran selling their stories to the media, and the government’s U-turn on whether that was the right thing to do. Odd as when I first heard that name (Faye Turney) I thought of Faye Rainey, who is audience co-ordinator for Hat Trick Productions who make the show, as well as being a member of HIGNFY’s production team - see the credits.
Anyway, HIGNFY starting Friday is the main point of this entry. The first of eight shows features Jeremy Clarkson guest hosting and Krishnan Guru-Murthy (This guy is good, as you’ll know if you watch Channel 4 News) and Michael McIntyre (don’t know who he is) joining the usual suspects, team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. Something new this time around is the addition of a podcast. Have I Got News For You - The Inevitable Internet Spin-off will be available after the show’s transmission, 9:30pm Fridays.
