With the loss of iconic anchorman Angus Deayton, the witty and caustic topical news quiz tries out guest presenters. What a motley crew they turn out to be. From politician Charles Kennedy and THE WEAKEST LINK's hard woman Anne Robinson to comedians Hugh Dennis and Sanjeev Bhaskar. They cope with varying degrees of comedic success. Particularly fine at fielding sarcasm and witty retorts from the resident team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop were Bruce Forsyth, Boris Johnson, Martin Clunes and one-time Conservative Party leader William Hague.

This is just awesomely funny.
Best for me is Bruce Forsyth; Hislop's reaction when he does 'Play your Iraqi Cards Right' is an absolute jewel!
The show with Boris Johnson is excellent as well, but Brucie steals the show. You must watch this, I defy anyone not to laugh out loud!
Boris Johnson for PM! HIGNFY is always good for a laugh, but Boris' utter inability to hold
the fort and control the usual cast of characters makes for riotous laughter. Whether you
saw it the first time or have never seen it, this episode is a must for anyone who have
enjoyed HIGNFY in the past
