Thatcher? What a dreadful thought - she'd privatise the show, forcing it onto ITV!

Hey that could be a good thing as that would definately suit those people who don't have sky or Cable. Also they could show that instead of some of the rubbish that they show for the kidsies nowadays . I think that if that means that it would go back to terrestrial tv then yes getting Margeret Thatcher would be a great thing anyday!

The whole point of HIGNFY was that Angus was always kind of holier-than-thou and could make fun of both regulars and guests without fear of any retorts as he'd never done anything wrong. But that was spolied a bit, and I think that's why they fired him.

Still think he should be back. BBAD Campaign anyone?  😛

Oh, and I've got another policy:

  1. Bring back the old University Challenge theme tune and the blue set and titles.

"Order, Order"!

You might be able to get Margeret Thatcher too!

As for the HIGNFY debate, how about getting that woman from House of Commons, the speaker woman, cant remember her name!

Shes retired too, so has the free time!

I'm afraid, MPK, that I just can't see Will Self presenting HIGNFY. They shouldn't, in any case, try to replace Angus with someone who tries to be like him (arrogant etc.) - someone with a different style of their own would be better. The only other person worthy, IMO, is Humphrey Lyttleton.

Maybe it could be both!

Cough coughNO

I think I might be starting to get one of those coughs. I think I might have also just heard somebody mention google somewhere!

As for putting Trevor McDonald down a peg or two, ooooh contraversial!

Or maybe even Martin Bashir for that matter!

Its Will Self. He is just as pompous and obnoxious as Deayton, and would be better on this programme than in Shotting Stars, which was way better with Mark Lamarr!

As for putting Trevor McDonald down a peg or two, ooooh contraversial!

Yeah, Thanatos, I agree with everything you say there unreservedly!

Oh, and "The One And Only" was a song by the embarrassing Chesney Hawkes, which held Number 1 for weeks. And it kept James' Sit Down from reaching Number 1. So James never did reach Number 1. Bet you didn't know that...

I think the Iraqi information minister should lead a political party.  He is great.  I would vote for him.

I think that they should have an option which tou could turn them off completely, so that they wont appear at all!

  1. Axe The Archers.

Are you brave.

9.b banish the red button from our screens for good.

  1. Make Challenge? into a terestrial channel free and available for all!

  1. Bring back Knightmare.

  2. Axe The Archers.

  3. Bring back The Crystal Maze (after a referendum on whether Richard or Ed should present it).

  4. Give all licence-fee payers Freeview boxes or IDTVs free of charge.

  5. Ban any change to the published schedule - if there's a major news item that today would interrupt programmes, simply put a message at the bottom of the screen showing the headline and an exhortation to turn to BBC News 24 (as, given step 4, all would be able to do).

  6. Re-instate Angus Deayton as presenter of Have I Got News For You.

  7. Re-arrange the dates of series of Quote...Unquote and The Now Show in such a way that at least one of the four great Radio 4 comedies (Just a Minute, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, The News Quiz and Dead Ringers) is always in the course of a series.

  8. Schedule two, not just one, annual series of Bremner, Bird & Fortune.

  9. Ban those channel logos in the corners of screens.

  10. Impose a rule that all prime-time TV newsreaders must be at least as good as Channel 4's Samira Ahmed (the likes of Brigid Nzekwu and Trevor McDonald woud be moved to low-audience times).

I'm annoyed that I discovered this site shortly after the 2001 election, or I might have stood as a Bring Back Knightmare candidate at the mock election at school. My campaign would have been marginally more intelligent and politically astute than that of the victorious UKIP candidate (who spent most of his campaign making posters saying that he liked cake, supporting something called Donkey Magic and prancing around with "I Am The One And Only" blaring in the background [eventually the Tory candidate joined him in this last]).
