"Ian, is it coming home?" "What, your reputation?" Not a pause, just went right for it.

Who knew Maisie Adams and Ian Hislop would make a great duo?! Nice!

Good on Ian for holding the host’s feet to the fore on TWCup!🤗

Damn I love Ian. No holding back

Maisie Adam was quick with pointed jabs, Ian did a great job holding Gary accountable

Ian gets so much respect for being always so straight forward and critiquing people! I mean, many people critique other people, but it‘s often behind their backs or in writen form… Ian is different, he does NOT hold back when sitting right there with the person. That takes integrity.

That rooster at the beginning OWNS IT.

Maisie and Ian ARE AMAZING

Cheers, means a lot to be able to watch this

Many thanks, again. Maisie was fun - as were they all.

I thought Neville was quite good as a host but kudos to Ian for calling him out on his greed. I am not buying his excuse that he will call out the issues during a live broadcast, and would be very surprised if anyone did, I certainly believe their would be consequences if any pundit did such as expulsion from the country.

25:44 Brilliant match commentary by Ian. Powerful point made. He's like a Rottweiler to hypocrisy,

Great episode. Thanks for uploading. Me and all the other British expats out there are eternally grateful!

Richard Madeley started very low in my estimation when I first learned of him years ago and I can't quite say why but mainly second hand stuff about him on TV, but I find that every time I see him, which is mainly on HIGNFY, he climbs a few rungs. He actually seems very likeable and principled.

Can't believe Gary agreed to this, surely he knew he'd cop it.

22:31 reporting on the death of the fax machine from a newspaper called The Telegraph. i'm gonna start a news site called The Fax

Thank you for this. Enjoy Ian being the investigative reporter.

glad to see Ian does not hesitate to criticise someone like Neville face-to-face.His greed is legendary, but Qatar has given him the opportunity to really cash in big time in an amoral way.Keir Starmer is getting some dodgy friends.

Fan of Maisie's. Good to see her everywhere.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Exciting episode! Go Ian! 🌟 And thanks Viva! Too bad we have to wait until April for more. It’s going to be a long winter! Especially here in Montreal! ☃️ To pass the time I should subscribe to Private Eye.

Thank you for posting!

The relief on Neville's face when he ended the episode...

Thank you for uploading

21:03 "nothing grows in the shade", dayum that's the most hilarious boob-related joke I've heard in my entire life 😀

Cheers for uploading

Thanks for posting

May u live a 1000 years, Viva!

Thanks!

About 'fax machines' lawyers and doctors still use them as they are much more secure than email.

Nice to see Alan Partridge on Paul's team

IAN!I AN! IAN! You go boy!

Thanks for posting! 🇸🇪

9:23 - When has Paul EVER taken this much care to ensure that a quote was accurate? Clearly not a fan of Hancock.

Cheers for the upload

Brilliant👌

Much better than the shorter version.

Yes it’s all great for Ian calling out Gary on the Qatar thing and I agree with him. But did any footballer refuse to go? And more to the point, is our government calling this out by for example imposing sanctions? All this is pure hypocrisy

Paul is hilarious in this one, rarely has a bad night that man.

I mean, really, THANK YOU!

Really enjoyed thanks for the download felt a bit uncomfortable watching them tease gary nevel about commenting on the World Cup but that what this shows all about just he’s soo sweet he looked distressed

I think the funniest joke here is "Boris Johnson, technology expert" the man is still looking to master his hairbrush.

What costs more than a ticket to the World Cup? “Your conscience 😂😂😂

I kind of want that calendar.

I always wanted to take a photo of myself in a compromising situation under the sign for the Italian town of Crapola

It’s not the money…..it’s the money

i think if you limit air time for politicians who wont answer the question asked them and only show politicians that answer the question asked they may think twice about avoiding the question at the cost of their public profile

Gary has a long record of following his principles and taking a stand, but that grilling might be a moment to reflect and realise he got the Qatar situation wrong. As a paid commentator he's hardly going to be banging on about LGBT rights and dead workers mid way through Brazil France

They got that comparison of us to aliens being like ants to us, from an episode of season one of Babylon 5, where Ja-Kar is explaining to the commanders lady what she saw

Nice. Post credit sequence. Just like the Marvel movies.

Funny that Paul Merton so often come up with his jokes about Ian Hislop being "old" (oldfashioned really), given that Merton is older than Hislop (by 3 years)

I'm surprised Gary didn't go "you fence well Sir, but the button has come off your foil!"

I felt the previous 2 episodes were very flat considering all the material they should have had, this one was wayyyyy better. Thanks Vauxhall VIVA !!!

You know, I heard and read so much about this episode but to be quite honest, Neville got off pretty lightly, especially compared to some of the more infamous episodes over the years where the host was lampooned throughout.

Im in love with Maisie

I thought this was quite a good episode. They've tended to use the same hosts over and over of late, but I always liked the crap-shoot of trying different people. Maisie Adam is someone I've previously found dull and annoying, but she was quite funny here. As for people commenting on Ian having a go at Gary: (1) That's what Ian does, get over it; and (2) I'm constantly amazed at people being all for human rights as long as it doesn't affect their iPhones, shoes or sports. The Qatari's know that all they have to do is throw money at people and they'll cast their morals aside. Everyone goes on about slavery that ended 150+ years ago, yet get strangely quiet when talking about slavery that is happening right now. You just know some idiots are going to get arrested during the World Cup, either for inappropriate behavior or protesting, and the Qatari rulers will eventually pardon them and all the idiots will go "aw, look, these slave-trading, slave-holding, anti-democratic despots aren't that bad." because yay money.

For the first time in my life I won’t be watching the World Cup, purely out of principle.

35:55 legend

Where is episode 8? Never aired ?

👍♥️👍

Faxes have lasted so long because they cant be hacked. It is still the prefered way to send medical information.

I'm not from Britain but I enjoy watching these a lot. Also, who's the person over Maisie's shoulder holding the stop sign with the border patrol hat?

MPs aren’t responsible for fixing Church roofs

Is this host a (former) footballer? I know the name, but, not being a footy fan, have no idea.

Gary has a special and admirable way of rolling with the punches that can take him a long way if he takes a strategic approach + his great character; an exciting new

Can somebody tell me what casa ramar is supposed to mean. Maisie said it

😀😀😀😀😀

First thing that popped into my mind is that's Gary Glitter.

Richard was on fire! He added a nice balance to the panels in my opinion.

It is not quite Gary Glitter but it is close enough that I wouldn't be surprised if UKposts copyright claimed it for him.

What's with the mini poppies?

Paul was irritated with Neville, wasn't he

39:42 thank you Mr Hislop, for sticking it to Neville, and by extension all the greedy, money-worshipping, amoral "celebrities", again. I hope that some sort of karma will impact the lot of them, and sooner rather than later.

Gray is right to go take the money and run I could do with money like that

They are so right about that climate summit in Egypt. All those planes.. Why didn't Sleepy Joe go by train?

Ok. Far reach for those across the pond... but the thumbnail pic of Gary looks like he would be G-Eazy's father.

So Boris is going to the crypto conference in Indonesia next month. Appropriate. Both are disasters.

Dear Prime Minister (for the moment) Sunak, do please tell what might be "more pressing" matter than the imminent collapse of the climate on which we *all* (including the rich) depend? yours (not very) sincerely, some yobo

you don't "tax profits" after the fact - you seize them - not to worry, I'm out with a nice profit get somebody else to drill your wells

vulgar and meme signs getting stolen? Why not sell novelty version ones in gift shops or an online store? Would make profit for towns.

Got to hand it to Neville, there’s no way he didn’t know he was going to get shredded and he came on anyway. He has a point, his reach is orders of magnitude higher as a commentator than it would be if he stays in the UK and criticises Qatar. Yes, he’s doing it for the money, but maybe we should see whether he actually uses his platform as he’s promised here to do before we slap the hypocrisy label on his forehead. Hislop never spares people who deserve it, as Neville does, but it’s not out of malice. It seemed to me more a warning to Neville not to forget what’s expected of him when he gets to the World Cup as a famous person who’s spoken out on these topics before…. Not to squander his opportunity. [Edit: magnitude, not multitude!]

To use a football parlance Hislop is a legend! Gary Neville is a hypocrite.

Neither Paul nor Ian applauded at the end. Hard to tell after the stage lights went down but it looked like a bit of a delay before Ian shook Gary's hand also. Gary didn't really retort after "The elephant in the room" bit. Pretty much every question after that was met with Paul saying "we don't know the answer, just tell us". I can definitely see Gary following his political ambitions within the next 3-5 years. Madeley had some overly rehearsed lines. But one or two good ones also. Thanks for uploading.

If these people had lived and worked in Qatar for a year they'd have a much different viewpoint, or at least a nuanced one. Foreign workers bring 100's of millions of dollars a year to their home countries in S. Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. People who'd have no chance of earning almost any money at home At least 1.8 million of the pop. of Qatar (about 2.3 million) are foreign workers, mostly from developing nations, many of whom raise families. You'd be more advantaged to speak Hindi than Arabic in much of Doha, since a sort of 500 word English is the most common language. The deaths of foreign workers are a scandal and easily avoided if the Qataris wold simply put A/C into the trailers they sleep in, where they often get their heart attacks.

Not sure what Neville would achieve calling out Qatari human rights abuses on a broadcast for foreign audiences, other than a shallow exercise in virtue signaling undercut by his own complicity. The Qatari government probably wouldn't much care, because domestic audiences will just see the prestige and vindication of international participation.

Bit disappointing that they think rape jokes are ok. They're normally much better than that.

Eff off, Neville.

It's getting very difficult to continue laughing at an ever-worsening situation. Maybe there's no time left for any humour at all. I've been saying this for y-e-a-r-s. Yes, it's not funny.

Bit of the Angus Deayton problem. How can someone from the world of football criticise systemic homophobia?

They could not say a word against Qatar or the world cup. All these celebs and football clubs said alot before going over to Qatar but nothing once there or since. Beckham was paid 200 million pounds...and he was shite as a spokesperson. He only knows 50 words. Morally compromised, there you go David...two new words .

Madeley's first time on television? You're on camera, man, get your hands out of the way. (I'm joking, but he noticeably spends half the show talking from behind his hands)

I like how everyone is whining about this that and the other regarding Qatar. Stop trade with them. Stop buying their carbon products. Then we can see how much integrity everyone has. Hypocrites.

nope, I stopped watching after they got Neville

Green woman hair style no looky good.

Was this guest host invited on merely as a set up - knowing Ian would more than likely go for him? I agree with Ian's stance but it this the right venue? Pretty shitty treatment in my book even if good for click bait. Not exactly a level playing field - was it!

Gotta say I think Ian is barking up the wrong tree here. The Qatari regime has been using slave labour for decades, yet all western regimes invest heavily in doing business with them. Nothing will change if Gary Neville goes there, he’s there to do a job, and he’s been very critical of FIFA allowing this, which in his situation most definitely requires more guts than sitting in a panel show and ask someone to follow one’s own morals. The questions should be asked to leading politicians instead: why is doing business with these regimes something that’s encouraged? Why can these regimes use English football clubs and other business in England to wash their names? Why is it ok that the UK buys huge amounts of gas from Qatar? In the last couple of years none of these regimes or our endeavours with them have been questioned by anyone but a bunch of leftists and football fans who might be jealous of Newcastle and Manchester City. You absolutely can go there to do a job and still be critical of the regime. We have to be able to keep two separate thoughts simultaneously.

I hate the fake skinhead cut. Do they have to harvest everything from subcultures? Well, it looks crappy because she just imitates. That's not how it is cut.

Come on Ian!! Gary doesn't deserve an ambush like that, he's only doing His job out there. Bad taste mate!!!

Not a very good show this week. Maisie Adam is obnoxious and Ian Hislop too precious. If Ian Hislop feels so strongly about the BBC broadcasting the World Cup, he should quit. Neville is doing a job and it's not up to him to cure the world's ills.

Sundae Treat A Bit More. Every Appreciation ViVaHD 303 runs by Stonehenge? that's my Colorado Area Code I knew I had a connection.
