It's called Mock the Week, and it's a comedy panel show. Watch and adore! :mrgreen:

Damn, really? I've been blocked from seeing US videos before but I've not seen it happening this way around before. That blows.

Oh thats a shame, i'll try and see if you can see.

I agree with Anima. Mock the week is excellent.
But no one can defeat the legendary HIGNFY still going strong after decades

I love the openings as much as the actual show and is a excellent way to keep up with the news in a twisted way

Good
I think the reason why you couldn't see it before was because Anima linked them from BBC's Youtube channel which restricts it to UK viewers only
 
I think Peep show is the best sitcom on UK tv.

But yea i love our panel shows its a shame America doesent really have them at least from what ive seen they are great for giving good stand ups a chance to shine.

I don't like Peep Show. Boring.

Agree on stand ups.
I had never heard of Boyle or McIntyre before MTW and now i adore them.
 

Thanks for posting replacement links, Laila, and yep, Have I Got News For You rocks! Do you prefer it now, with different hosts, or did you prefer Angus Deayton hosting every week?

Different hosts, makes it more interesting.
I loved Springer hosting it a few weeks ago

Huh, you're right. It's a wee bit similar.

Laila, have you seen the Mock the Week thing on Barack Obama and John McCain, I'd love to post it here but I think I'd get banned! :mrgreen:

Damn, I missed that one. Did you see the one with Boris Johnson doing it? I'm not a big Tory fan, but he was hilarious.

Mhm, politics aside he's really funny. Usually when he's not trying to be.

Have you seen this? :mrgreen:

Exactly! How long does he need to actually get around to doing things to help the city of London? If he's done nothing in the past 12 months, what makes people think he's going to start tommorrow?
