What a great episode! Steph is a fantastic presenter. I do marvel at how they never make ANY accommodations for blind panelists though! He did really well all things considered. Thanks for uploading! Cheers
I agree, it seems very weird to me that he would not be primed to the images. I remember one episode where Chris McCausland was on, and he made a comment during the show about 'when they explained the picture to me earlier', so that time it did seem like he got some information beforehand. But here we hear Jamie make several comments about not knowing what's going on. That's really a shame, since we know they've done at least *something* to make it easier for blind panelists before.
@@topherthe11th23 It was my personal opinion of her clunking attempts at humour, her utter lack of political or even social sophistication, and her trite, self-congratulatory, but ultimately gormless presentation style.
Love watching HIGNFY at the end of my week. Helps keep me sane and as an American I can only laugh along with the Brit's jokes about OUR government leaders!
I'm so glad this is available here. After moving to Australia from the UK and having watched this since I was a kid, I missed it a lot until I found you. No idea how it's legal but hey ho I'll enjoy it while it exists. Thank you!
5:40 Why are politicians so wooden and weird? It’s like they have become so separate from actual people who don’t go around with their heads up the backside’s of corporations and the uber rich, that they forget how normal people conduct themselves. Fresh air smells a lot better than corporate bunghole and it’s shocking to them.
I dont understand this at all. Jamie should have had an earpiece with descriptive commentary for all the pictures. I am very disappointed with this episode. It shows a marked lack of respect for Mr MacDonald specifically and blind people in general. Shame on them.
scerpalman posted this up-thread: "He was asked beforehand and said he wanted to keep the usual format so he could joke about not being able to see the rounds"
How did the producers not think of slight modifications for the format to make it less image focused? Like play an audio clip quote instead of showing a photo. This is such a good example of ableism. Jamie MacDonald could have contributed good content to every section on the show, but instead he is left sitting around like a numpty during all of the image centered rounds. Even Jamie's into didn't mention a single aspect of his resume, only his blindness. What a joke.
I found the opening joke about him put me off Steph immediately. It was weird and not funny. And BBC getting on blind comedians (as they should) but making them feel completely at a loss...ridiculous. Don't understand all the comments saying it was a good episode
One of Britain’s top five host. Sure wished they’d put her on a rotation with Victoria Coren Mitchell, Mel Giedroyc, Richard Ayoade and Alexander Armstrong
What the so many PMs in succession who are Oxford grads tell us is that getting the top jobs are about where you came from and who you know, not about ability.
You can’t graduate from any elite university entirely without merit: the standards are just too high. Even BoJo has merit, he just uses it to serve only himself. That you are so triggered by mentions of Oxford is your issue.
@@Kate-lk6tw You didn't address my comment properly. Firstly, I never criticise these Oxford PMs not obtaining a good degree. Are you saying a second-upper Classics graduate from Oxford is better than a first class engineer, lawyer, scientist, etc from any other UK university to be the PM? The answer maybe yes, but it's not for the reason you think (merits). Secondly, me having an issue or not with Oxford is personal. Nothing to do with my comment. The question is do you think my original comment has merits or not.
1530 Denver Time Time for HIGGY !!!! or Hignfy rhymes with dignify. Thanks ViVaHD. !! I"m a HUGE Steph Fan, 6'3'' 325lbs. 187cm 24stone yeah huge innit
dear Mr MacDonald your contribution to the 28th October edition was quite enjoyable and you do have a great sense of humour ,how about a rerun with all the show in braille and Ian and Paul can give it a go.maybe not ,dont think it would pass the censors.i do have to explain some jokes to my Canadian friends ,please come back we really did enjoy your sense of fun even a slip up with the word muck, best wishes Em
I’m so sorry Harry is so derided in the UK. I think he just “abdicated” more or less. It happened to the queen’s uncle, was he roundly hated after he did that? I think he just decided he didnt like “the firm” and the UK people think it is such a privileged position he was ungrateful to walk away. He has always been a rebel and a free spirit. Also people are always questioning his parentage.
You’re kidding, right? The Queen’s uncle Edward was an open Nazi supporter who, after his own abdication, wanted to help Hitler overthrow his own brother and his family including the young future queen and install himself and Wallis (also a Nazi supporter and a longtime lover of a prominent SS officer) on the throne as leaders of a puppet state. Yes, Edward was and is hated by most Brits and anyone else who actually knows anything about him. And no, that’s not a plot point from The Crown, it’s an historical fact.
The Queen's uncle was never forgiven by the Britsh people. I don't think many people would have cared had Harry just left the Firm and gone off to live the life of a private individual. It was the blaming and whining and 'poor me' act that won him such disdain.
If he wishes respect,He has to stop making money selling lurid details about his own family to tabloids ,publishers and Oprah.If he does indeed want a normal life ,learn a normal trade.😒
He's a big know-it-all who insists everyone live like him and his wife. I have mental disorders and I appreciate the work he does for that sector, but he's so smug and I don't understand why Americans love him so much. This American does NOT. Go back to Canada!

Yeah the quip about his blindness when he was introduced was bloody hilarious, had me in stitches! She's such a great presenter......not.
I’ve been waiting for this notification of a new episode all week. We don’t get satirical programmes in Singapore and HIGNFY is truly a blessing fr
No Chewing Gum either
Heaven.
Steph McGovern = automatic click
She has the most mesmerising eyes…
And from the shallow end of the pool, I love her clothes.
Love Steph. One of my favorite hosts Thanks ViVaHD!
Never lets us down with the uploading!!! Really good for us folks with out access to iplayer
My favorite time of the week.
Saturday morning here in Australia; coffee and HIGNFY. Bliss.
Continued thanks for the uploads, from friends overseas. Cheers, sir! 👍🍻
There’s no way the whole production team, Ian and Paul didn’t sit back after the show and think that’s the funniest show we’ve done in a while.
Everyone seemed very comfortable with each other, and Steph McGovern made the scripted jokes seem like her own.
I agree, no one was trying too hard, it just flowed. I laughed all of the way through.
Steph is such a great host
She was appalling.

Cheers from Hungary. Thank you for the uploads!
Must say that this show was one of the more amusing shows as of late. Steph does a great job keeping a nice flowing energy. Just glorious
Good show, but I expected more Rishi bashing. Thanks for posting.
Professor Fry is such a beauty!
HIGNFY should be classified as an Antidepressant.
Cheers for uploading
very well presented and a good episode...
"...the only person to have authored more books than he's read."
Other than Donald Trump. Who authored one book.
Cheers for the upload
Thanks for the upload!
"...he slept through one prime minister." Priceless
Ian is at his best this episode.
So is Paul.
Or as it's known in the trade "Ford Fiasco".
Listen… after suffering thru trump - and that’s not really over yet- I am thankful for President Biden
Surely they should have helped the blind dude with audio descriptions🤷♂️
The only thing wrong with this episode was that it's too short
Thank you, love this! Would love to see a HIGNFY with both Jamie and Chris McCausland
Thank you, Viva! Steph is such a delight!
6:10 i figured a boris comeback was unlikely, because he's never taken his come back from anyone
Thanks, great quality upload and in great time.

Yes, exactly. I can't help but contrast the appropriate efforts made on Mock The Week to assist disabled comedians.
Have you not watched Chris McCausland on the show? I think this was Jamie's first time, but he was funnier than Hannah.

@@juliehughes1258 Thanks, Julie. Thought so.
@@eshaibraheem4218huh? What’s any of that got to do with the comment?
Jamie MacDonald was great, considering so much of this is visual it must be tricky.
Great episode thank you for sharing
Bloody love the mind of steph.
Moan the Steph! Legend
They should’ve had audio descriptions for MacDonald
Sorry no, Prince Harry doesn't get the prize for writing more books than he has read. That's L Ron Hubbard.
Again, I thank you, I need this program to keep calm about Westminster, cheers from Ireland
Love Steph 💕😻
Thanks OP 🙏
Many thanks for the upload. Can't say I've heard of Jamie before, but my god, he's got a gorgeous voice 😍
Doesn't he?🏹💖

If they tried in the US the things they do to the blind, foreigners (that German comic), etc. who appear on the BBC, the lawsuits would fly.
@@AeonJubeyes,it’s dreadful
Much appreciated and Steph McGovern can host every week
Love this show
Jamie's insights were hilarious!
One of Britain’s top five host. Sure wished they’d put her on a rotation with Victoria Coren Mitchell, Mel Giedroyc, Richard Ayoade and Alexander Armstrong
and Clive, who,reads the news. He’s brilliant. So is Stephen Mangan.
@@Kate-lk6tw agree. Clive is also a great one. Alexander Armstrong is too
Cheers
Thank you. Another great episode.
Hey it's Hannah from Numberphile!
Thanks for the upload - put a smile on my face 😀
Love ya, ViVa! 😘
Looking forward to hearing Hannah speak. About anything, really.

@@LordPubeck Oh, why didn't it occur to me she'd be in a podcast? I've wasted so much time. Thank you! 😃
Many thanks for this, ViVaHD
Bless You. From America. 😃
"Cat flap..." 🤣
great to have up to date episodes when so much is happening in Britain now
thanks for that!
This is blocked in the UK who is watching it? lol
Larry the cat was excited to hear from Boris that he was running, Carrie aways gave him wet Cat food, or as he would described it, food.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
They had a blind guy on a visual comedy panel show?
Thanks for the up :)

Alway enjoy but yes, a very visual show. 🤔🤔🤔
Why so many ads .
I’m really loving Ian on the spot for his poshness ... more “ common “ hosts
What‘s Jamie‘s Biden joke at the end? Didnt unterstand
. Thanks.
The past 3 or 4 have been increasingly better. We're in a new golden age!
what's the biscuit they talked about?
☺️❤️
Steph is SO good. Always a blast when she hosts.

They criticise whoever's in power. It's what they do.

Didn't expect Steph to be so hostile to Harry. She seems so nice, and then... guess *_not._*
Yes, but they are all like that. All of them.
I’m so sorry Harry is so derided in the UK. I think he just “abdicated” more or less. It happened to the queen’s uncle, was he roundly hated after he did that?

Where have you been for the last few years?
Could BBC HIGNFY get any more Left wing biased ?
You watch it weekly which apparently indicates you want to see it. How much more left wing do you want it to get?
Is this the worst presenter?
Surprised at the mean-spirited Harry jokes!
Why?
He's a big know-it-all who insists everyone live like him and his wife. I have mental disorders and I appreciate the work he does for that sector, but he's so smug and I don't understand why Americans love him so much. This American does NOT. Go back to Canada!
@@eshaibraheem4218because we don’t live in England, we live in the commonwealth and we have perspective. Your view is deeply disproportional.

That would have been crude and insulting; I don't think you quite know where the line is.
Teenager, are you?
@@653j521 no, just really immature.
Isn't it time Paul Merton got that huge chip off his shoulder? His endless jealousy is getting really boring.
