Format Overview
HIGNFY follows a simple structure: an opening monologue sets up the week’s news, then four rounds of questions and quick‑fire jokes. The rounds vary each episode but usually include the biggest stories, visual clues, odd‑one‑out puzzles and a final headline with missing words. The host’s closing sketches tie the episode together.
Team Structure
Two regular captains lead opposing teams—Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. Each team also has a celebrity guest who joins the captain for the episode. The captains steer the debate, while the guests add fresh perspectives and often become the target of running jokes.
Signature Rounds
Key rounds include "The Bigger News Stories" where teams watch silent clips to guess headlines, "Odd One Out" with four images, the classic "Missing Words" headlines, and a final "Caption Competition" that rewards clever visual humor.
Guest Hosts
After the dismissal of the original host in 2002, each episode features a new guest presenter. Over the years this has included the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Alexander Armstrong, Boris Johnson, and many other celebrities, each adding a distinct flavor to the show.
Controversies
HIGNFY’s razor‑edge satire has led to multiple legal challenges, including defamation suits and complaints about political bias. Despite this, the show remains a staple of British television, praised for its quick wit and fearless commentary.
Where to Watch
Episodes are broadcast weekly on BBC One, with extended versions airing on BBC Two the following week. The series is also available on BBC iPlayer for viewers within the UK, and select episodes can be streamed on other platforms outside the UK.
