History
From series 1 (1990) until series 10 (1995) the show was chaired by Angus Deayton, with team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton and a guest on each team. For series 11 (1996), Merton – aside from the first episode where he appeared as Hislop's guest – took a sabbatical, and so his team comprised two guests. Clive Anderson, Alan Davies and Eddie Izzard were all assigned 'guest captain' status in their appearances, although there were two episodes where Hislop's opponents were considered a 'double act' and neither was referred to as captain. The original line-up was restored for the following series, and remained that way until series 24 (2002).
Following tabloid newspaper revelations about his private life, Angus Deayton was sacked after two shows of series 24. His spot has been taken since by many different guest hosts. Due to the suddenness of Deayton's dismissal, and with no time to book a seasoned replacement, Merton himself filled the position for the first programme after the departure (with Ross Noble filling the vacant captain's chair).
For its first 19 years, the show was recorded on Thursdays and broadcast the following evening. For the two series in 2010, the show was moved back a day to Thursday (recorded on Wednesday), with the exception of the episode after the 2010 general election, but returned to the original setup the following year.[1]
Frequent guests
The most prolific post-Deayton host so far has been Alexander Armstrong, whose regular appearances in the central chair saw him quickly become the show's most frequent guest ever. As of 25 November 2016, he has been on 28 editions of the show, each time as the host.[2] He is followed by Jo Brand, who has made 19 appearances, then Andy Hamilton and Ross Noble, who have both made 18 appearances. They are followed by Martin Clunes and Jack Dee, both on 14 appearances, and then Marcus Brigstocke, Jeremy Clarkson, Victoria Coren Mitchell, David Mitchell and Kirsty Young, all on 13.
The other guests to have reached double figures are Reginald D. Hunter, Ken Livingstone, Frank Skinner and Janet Street-Porter with 12, and Clive Anderson and Germaine Greer with 10.
With the sacking of Deayton, Ian Hislop became the last remaining person to have appeared in every edition of HIGNFY. To this day, there has still not been an episode without him.[2] This dedication even once saw him temporarily discharge himself from hospital for a recording night in series 7 (1994). Paul Merton, in addition to his break during series 11, has been forced to miss one other episode due to ill health in series 36 (2008). His position on that occasion was taken by Frank Skinner.[2]

Footnotes
- ↑ The scores were not stated at the end of this episode
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Christmas special
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 Election special
- ↑ The game finished as a tie at 16-16, so the caption competition was used a tie-breaker, where Paul earned the biggest laugh. This is the only time points have ever been awarded for this section.
- ↑ Special programme for Comic Relief, combining elements of Have I Got News for You with another popular panel show, A Question of Sport.
- ↑ The tub of lard was a stand-in for Roy Hattersley, who had pulled out of a recording at the last minute for the third time. Angus explained that Hattersley and the lard were "imbued with many of the same qualities". This marks the only occasion to date that the panel has consisted of fewer than five people.
- ↑ "Margaret Thatcher special", focusing on her period as Prime Minister. Agreed by both Ian and Paul to be the show's 'worst' episode, due to the two guests doing nothing but "spit poison at each other".
- ↑ The 50th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ In a typical example of the occasional 'end of season japes', Ian and Paul swapped seats – and dress senses – for this episode.
- ↑ It was during this episode that Ian was suffering from Appendicitis.
- ↑ Included a special guest appearance by Germaine Greer in the Odd One Out round, and extra features including a video diary from The Rt. Hon. Tub of Lard MP.
- ↑ Colin was a parrot that had been trained to squawk out various heckles at Angus, but its only contribution was a brief "Hello" towards the end. Paul Merton later explained that gimmicks like this contributed to his decision to take the following series off.
- ↑ The 100th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ Originally, only Christine had been due to appear, but she requested an extra seat be reserved for husband Neil (only a week after Martin Bell had famously ousted him from Parliament in that year's general election). This marked the first occasion where the panel has consisted of more than five people.
- ↑ The end of this episode featured a walk-on guest appearance by Mr. Bramley, where he was "awarded" to the losers.
- 1 2 Special programme for Comic Relief, combining elements of Have I Got News for You with the other then-leading comedy panel shows on the BBC; Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and They Think It's All Over. Although the latter two were made by a different production company to HIGNFY, there was one crucial link between all three besides basic format; producer Harry Thompson.
- ↑ The 150th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ Due to the legal circumstances surrounding him at the time, Shayler's contribution was recorded via satellite linkup from a studio in Paris, which was fed into a monitor on set. Merton was visibly unimpressed with the arrangement, as it left his guest two seconds behind everyone else, affecting the timing of the comedy.
- ↑ Robert Reed was a member of Conservative Future who, in the footsteps of William Hague (by this point the party's leader), had made a speech at the previous year's Conservative Party Conference at the age of 16. Conservative Conference – Bad day, good day guardian.co.uk, 6 October 1999
- ↑ The game finished as a draw at 10–10. Ian and Paul were made to play Stone, Paper, Scissors to find a winner. Ian chose Paper and Paul chose Scissors, thus making Paul's team the winners.
- ↑ Ian's team had won the show 13–12, but as a 'tribute' to American guest Rich Hall, Paul's team were made the winners. This was a reference to the-then ongoing American election controversy, where George W. Bush was going to win the election even though Al Gore had seemingly received more votes than him.
- ↑ Moved back a day because of BBC One's coverage of Children in Need. All autumn series following this would skip Children in Need week altogether.
- ↑ The game finished as a draw at 10–10, so Angus asked a tie-break question, which was "What is the capital of Albania?", which Sanjeev correctly answered as Tirana, thus making Ian's team the winners, with the bonus point visibly shown on screen after the correct answer was given.
- ↑ The real Elton John was due to appear, (Elton has News for You BBC News, 22 May 2001) but pulled out at the last minute. He was replaced by taxi driver Ray Johnson (credited as 'Ray Elton John Son'), who at the time had a side earning as the musician's lookalike. However, Johnson was introduced to the audience as if he genuinely was "Sir Elton John" and kept silent for the whole recording. On-screen captions between rounds were the only part of the show that openly admitted the deception, where the real Elton John was frequently referred to as a "bastard".
- ↑ Making her first appearance at the age of 16, Charlotte Church holds the record for the show's youngest ever guest (when ranking by age on appearance).
- ↑ The 200th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ The game actually finished as a tie at 13–13, however Ian complained about leaving the score as a tie and Jack Dee duly awarded an extra point to Paul's team, thus making them the winners.
- ↑ The 250th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ Dedicated to creator and original producer Harry Thompson, who died before broadcast
- ↑ Ian's team were winning for the majority of the show (and actually won outright), but at the end the scores were fixed to say 45–1 to Paul's team, on account of Dr Phil Hammond's remarks that he was told he could host the show if his team won.
- ↑ Moved back a day because of BBC One's coverage of England's first match at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium, against Brazil.
- ↑ The 300th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ US Election special
- ↑ Paul Merton was ill so Frank Skinner took his place
- ↑ This episode also included a guest appearance by Brian Blessed, dressed as Father Christmas.
- ↑ Moved back a day to the Friday slot that was regular before this series. If left, as originally scheduled, on voting day itself – before the polls closed – then the programme would have been duty bound by broadcasting impartiality rules to not show any opinionated comment on the key issues of the election.
- ↑ Temporarily swapped places with Paul Merton, as the two captains accepted the offer of a coalition (in a reference to the election's result of a hung parliament), which lasted for one round.
- ↑ Moved back a day due to the Royal Variety Performance.
- ↑ Broadcast live on the BBC website as part of 24 Hour Panel People, a fund-raising day-long marathon of panel shows, all featuring David Walliams, who took the role of captain for HIGNFY. Neither of the regular captains were present, though Paul Merton was originally scheduled to appear, before pulling out because of illness. Clive Anderson took his place in the second captain's seat.
- ↑ Dedicated to theme composer Big George, who died before broadcast
- ↑ The 350th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ The show ended in a 6–6 draw, so a quickfire tiebreak round was played where the panel had to identify the waxworks of the Louis Tussaud museum in Great Yarmouth, which had featured as a news item earlier in the show as it was facing closure. The attraction is infamous for the poor quality of its waxworks and the fact that most of the figures are not contemporary.
- ↑ Making her first appearance at the age of 90, Baroness Trumpington holds the record for the show's oldest ever guest (when ranking by age on appearance).
- ↑ The 400th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
- ↑ This episode ended with a tribute to former leader of the Liberal Democrats and nine-time HIGNFY guest Charles Kennedy, who had died earlier in the week.
- ↑ The 450th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
