Don't miss the bit after the credits bit. You're welcome.

Paul and Stephen were on fire this episode, but the whole cast was on point

Stephen and Paul were so in sync. It must feel great when you nail an appearance like Stephen just did.

waiting for the extended version has finally paid off!

Hannah Fry was great! She should be on more often.

I hope they have Prof, Fry back many more times. I really enjoy her.

One of the best episodes I've seen in a while. Stephen and Paul should have a show to present a monthly recap of the news together.

The whole group was ‘on’! Such an enjoyable episode.

"Why are 34% of children in my constituency living in poverty?" "Because it's a S' hole" "Mr speaker, it's this government" 😂

Hannah Fry is a brilliant mathematician, it’s great to see her try something different out.

I thought the 30 minute version was very good but this is even better. Those bit more bits really added to the show.

‘Is she the new Phillip Schofield?’ ‘Not in the way you’re thinking!!!!’ Brilliant throwaway line! Great episode, thanks for the upload! ❤

I agree, much better than the short version.

Holy Crap! That 44 minutes flew by. The after the credits comments were worth waiting for. I'm suddenly having a "Black Mirror" flashback.

I hope this show goes on for many more years!

This is unique. All the comments are nice. Im coming here for my holidays.

This was a good episode. My favorite part was Fry telling Merton he was the one wasting time when he was complaining. He moans about quiz stuff he doesn't like all the time, and it's usually funny, but it was great to see someone do the equivalent of telling him to shut up. Now that's a presenter who has given lectures.

French viewer here. Don't really care if small details about Napoleon are portrayed inaccurately. However, the man was a narcissistic tyrant who left hundreds of thousand dead and millions destitute in his wake. That should be portrayed accurately. Thanks for the upload!

Michael Gove is killing it. Only 1 spot less popular than the PM!

Googling Hannah Fry, I learned that she has a PhD in mathematics, and is a math professor at University College London. I can’t think of any American professional mathematicians who have a pop-culture presence, but the UK has several.

Hannah Fry was a delight. Good job by Stephen and Paul, too!

Running for 33 years and the charm, wit and credibility of the two stalwarts is undiminished. In fact I'd say this series is potentially a highlight if a highlight can be picked from such a solidly high benchmark as set by this show.

This was well worth the wait. Thanks ViVaHD 😊😊😊😊😊

There's been a trend for the past couple years of recurring presenters being put back onto the panel. Jo Brand, Jack Dee, Clive Myrie, and now Stephen. The results are sometimes better than others, but it's always nice to see Paul seem like he's genuinely enjoying himself.

Merton and Mangan! I'd watch that show.

She's the best. Glad I waited for a bit more.

Professor Hannah Fry has never failed to impress as a panelist but give her the center seat and WOW! Nice work Professor. 😸

The line is: "Show up, throw up and bog off home." Victoria Wood, 'dinnerladies' series 1 episode 5 'Party' 😉

Stephen Mangan is great

I love Professor Fry 😂

Who knew that Paul and Stephen would make such a fabulous team! Great episode. Thanks for posting.

Great line up. She’s a brilliant host.

So grateful for these uploads!

This is one of the best episodes i have seen in a long time

Never heard or seen her before but I really like Hannah :)

Wow, never seen Hannah Fry before but she's sharp and funny.

Thanks so much ViVa!

Thanks a million from India 🇮🇳🙇🏻‍♂️🎶🖋️📖😇

Paul threatening to by everyone a drink has caught up to him by the graphics team calling him out on it LOL

Love to see Professor Fry on more things than Numberphile these days!

Ian, mercy, such language, LOL the subject matter demands it. LOL !!!!

That was a great episode. Everyone was fabulous.

Only six minutes in, and this is promising to be an excellent episode.

one of THE best. thanks

Thanks, great to get the new delivered with a grain of truth.

As a dutch person i have to say that most of us are ashamed about the outcome of the election.

Really enjoyed the Stephen and Paul double act tonight! Everyone was great, actually-really fun show.

Thank you. Too many good quips for me to highlight even 10, well done - and thank you for brightening my Mondayitis.

A fabulous episode VivaHD, Thanks for keep posting both versions, even though those swines at YT keep taking them down. They've done the same with their own YT videos on my channel, so how dumb are they? 🤪🤡😂😂🤣🤪

Stephen Mangan looking fine in this

First time I've not seen a guest publication for the missing words round.

This goes down as one of the best in a long time! A true classic!

Great to see someone in sync with Paul's humour.

Thank you!

Love this. Thank you.

In the seance, the dog's ghost said "Si, Juan-Louis Si, Juan-Louis, run Run Juan-Louis, run"

Excellent episode - thanks for sharing ❤

Stephen's always great value, but he and Paul were a brilliant double-act in this episode! Top shelf talent all round, I thought. Thanks ViVa.

Thanks so much for posting

Thanks!

7:30am my time in Canada. Getting ready for a morning smoke. Perfect timing!!!!! I do love some topical satire in the morning! :D

what a great panel this week. super entertaining😂

That Mangan guy is a riot, he's brilliant. Love his presence

Never disappoins. Best thing on tele.

This made my day. Thank you!

great episode, thanks a lot.

Omg ok bias is out, Professor Fry was funnier than my good ol' Jo! im so glad to see her host this episode! Why didn't they let her host before?

Brilliant episode!! I laughed a lot! 😂😁

Paul and Stephen were so in tune with each other. :)

Top episode

I love that show. Cheers from Germany!

NO NO NO THE LINE IN THE FILM WAS..... DESTINY HAS BROUGHT ME TO THIS "LAMB" CHOP !

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH! 38:36! NAKED NIGEL FARAGE!! CANNOT UNSEE! CANNOT UNSEE!!!

Stephen Mangan is a male Sue Perkins with a little bit of Mel Giedroyc

Oh, good, I feared it was a very short season. I have never heard anyone call Liz Truss a "thin sliver of light" before 🙂

I’d pay money to see Zelensky meeting Boris Johnson again

1:13 That might very well be the first cat video that genuinely made me laugh.

10:47 "So to balance out a centrist politician you have to get a right wing headbanger in" is essentially the problem with modern democracy. The centre has shifted so far to the right that the moderate left seem extreme. Here in Spain the 'socialist communist bolshevique" government which is a coalition between the traditional socialists (labour) and the 'radical' left wing podemos, having formed government because they have the support from the democratically elected representatives of the people have been passing legislation, within the rules of the system, to try and raise the minimum wage at least to the poverty line, and protect women from abuse and murder, and so on; meanwhile they are equated with the extreme right (who are NOT fascists, they say), which is vox associated with PP (PP like tories) and their followers have been involved in recent years in throwing Molotov cocktails at immigrant youth centres, have called for civil war, have called for the police not to do their jobs when protecting the government from violent demonstrations, have supported a petition on a US page asking for the US government to invade Spain and topple the government. Anybody who doesn't think that within our democracies the right wing is more dangerous than the left, is crazy.

Ahh, the return of Mr. Tiny Kox to the program. :)

Thanks ViVa.

Yes that was tricky to pronounce Jeremy Hunt correctly.

Professor Fry did a really good job. Bit nervous and stilted at the start but once she eased into it she was very good.

Ian is brilliant.

So much funnier then the friday episode!

wonderful episode, hahahahaha!

Where have the quotes from the ‘guest publication’ gone!?

18:05 - best name for a Dutch politician since Ruud Lubers.

I have such a crush on, Prof Hannah Fry.

Didn't realise Ian could be such a potty mouth.😂🎉

Wait, the previous episodes vanished. When did they reemerge?

"He looks like a wolverine". Surely someone said he looks "like Wolverine", with that hair and those sideburns.

The region of Uranus!!!!

v good

Get your tickets early for the Mangan and Merton tour...Coming soon!

I suddenly have an inexplicably renewed interest in mathematics...

Best moment at 40:55!

The score cannot be right. This show should have VAR.

28:21 Cliff's favourite Elvis song. Fat's the wonder the wonder of you.

Something to think about: Ever since Top Gear has been to Argentina and created an outrage over the number plate, Argentina has been voting in more and more right-wing fanatics... all in all, it's Jeremy's fault.
