Synopsis
Have I Got News for You (BBC, 1990–present) is Britain's longest-running political comedy quiz you can watch online on iFILM — more than three decades of politicians and public figures getting lampooned on live television.
Two permanent team captains anchor every episode: Ian Hislop, editor of the satirical magazine Private Eye, and comedian Paul Merton. A celebrity guest hosts each week, and a panel takes questions on the latest headlines. The scoring is technically real; nobody in the room cares — the show runs on the decades-long adversarial chemistry between Hislop and Merton, and whoever sits in the host chair either keeps up or becomes the material.
Original host Angus Deayton was replaced by a rotating roster after a tabloid scandal in 2002, opening the chair to guests from Alexander Armstrong to Richard Ayoade. The format has barely changed since because it did not need to. Stream all seasons of Have I Got News for You online on iFILM.
