Well said 👍

@@jrspiritcommunicator7611 thank you

have you ever thought about grammar and diction my friend.

@@alunchurcher7060 yes and it's asshole for you.

Alun Churcher English may not be her first language. Rather mean spirited of you to say that when she was being kind.

Maybe because he was born in Wales :}

Used to do what!?

Well he won't be on again.

Bloody Greer hasn't been right about anything for a long time.

Bet you voted leave didn't you

It wasn't that. It was that he was such a source of scandal that he couldn't properly make fun of people any more.

@@felicitatumfortunae And so they move onto a format where instead they hire a new source of scandal basically every week and pile onto the host, etc. It's not really an excuse that works when you take into account the years since where the host being the butt of the joke is essentially the whole point of the show now.

Jimmy Saville never presented HIGNFY.

Exactly

@@felicitatumfortunaeit IS that to anyone with a clue. What is the scandal? Jeez, you people elected Boris Johnson! on your standards you’d be depose your King.

flugsven No, it's not.

Weird. The video works fine where I live. It has probably been blocked or something. By the way, every blocked video is also on dailymotion so you can watch it there if you want to: www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xbwju?playlist=x3oj3x

@@str1tsa yeah very Odd. Thanks for the new link..

You are spot on in your analysis. Think he took it too far at times for his own enjoyment (which is fair enough) but it could get a bit tiresome, but he and I H were masters at wit and satire. With hindsight, you can now understand that they weren't too fond of A D...not sure why.

I can’t stand him personally. He reminds me of a child in my class at primary school; noisy, rude, desperate for attention, constantly interrupting the teacher, and not very funny.

Yes

@Richard Joyce very familiar with Orwell. "Brave New World" would be an apt comparison as well.

But environmental destruction is the most important. Governments, ethics and civilisations come and go but climate change can end humanity.

@@LoneKharnivore I think you're arguing against a point I never made? I'm a strong believer in combating climate change.

Always a fan of his on this show , shame about his alcoholism ,. He was quite funny and reserved ..which made it even funnier

Exactly. What happened is because different Aboriginal tribes spoke different languages, one tribe called them "kangaroos" and the English dutifully recorded that as the name, but when they interacted with another tribe, the other tribe didn't recognise the word "kangaroo", leading to the confusion. It'd be like thinking the word "dog" meant "I don't know" because the next person you spoke to was French and used the word "chien".

How did the koori understand the question I wonder... perhaps captain Cook shouted his question very loud???

Aborigine, you goon. Show some damn respect

@@bloozee Use capital letters for proper nouns, you bogan.

no, not said in a creepy way - more dead pan - and he obviously knew how the target would take it.

Because captain cook wasn’t the first European or even brit to Australia. The Dutch were there first, so they knew who the whites were. Also there are so many aborigines languages that are now extinct that it could be true that kangaroo originally meant “I don’t understand you” all in all etymologist don’t really know why the kangaroo is called the kangaroo

@@arthurkemp4494 The Dutch who arrived first didn’t speak English, so my point still stands.

He was never super fond of Angus - Ian Hislop was once quoted as saying "Paul didn't ever like him, and was very 'up front' about it. But I got on quite well with him - until the big break-up, obviously." (The big break-up being his departure from the show in 2003) It was probably a serious clash of personalities, coupled with the jokes about Paul's wife (Caroline Quentin) souring Paul's opinion of him - it's quite notable that it was after Angus started making those jokes that Paul started being harsher towards him.

They just did a retrospective for the show's 30th anniversary. Ian said he & Paul are friends & go out for a pint after the taping and that he and Angus were friendly "until the situation". (This season was after scandal #1) They wanted him gone after his very public scandal but the BBC kept him on, consenting adults etc, & Angus promised them that was the full story. He almost cost all of them their jobs. I'd be a bit salty too. Then the other shoe dropped & all hell broke loose. Angus was fired & they tried Paul as host before going to different host every week. I think Paul knew that Angus was an SOB aka a liar & a cheat from the first time they met and they never got on very well. Sometimes you just know that someone isn't a good person. Yet they still managed ro work together for 10yrs.

@@emeraldblue5291 There was also a lot of resentment that Deayton got paid loads of money "for reading a funny script" whereas Paul (especially) provided spontaneous witty comedy (without a script) and got paid normal panelist rates (which I understand are modest).

@@emeraldblue5291 You should watch that anniversary show again, because you have a lot of the details muddled up, and some are just plain wrong.

@@MultiBunnyhops Yeah, only 20k for a good solid couple of hours work every week. Very Modest.
