Hislop is the main funnyman now, he outdoes paul completely
And yet he also seems to lose on points?

Yep, he was great tonight, the new Buckingham Palace bit was hilarious.

One of the best of the series so far.

Though predictable, the gag has been used quite a few times since the picture of Nigel Farage in front of the gold door was in the papers.

Was that really a Labour MP, or Kathy Burke playing one?

She's not too keen on Jeremy Corbyn, is she?

She was on the last series also and I think she similarly made clear what she thought of Corbyn.

Really enjoyed it - everyone was funny at one point or another and Ian Hislop was on fire.

His digs at Trump Tower and an upgraded Buckingham Palace were very funny.
I agree, there was no stopping Hislop and he really held the show. The others including Merton didn't do badly either and Armstrong chaired well. Funny but he always irritates me on that pointless quiz show he's known for.

The dentures that woman was flashing were frightening.

You can always tell by the pinkness of the gums. Dentures are always too pink - real gums are darker red.

Some funny bits (albeit anti the-usual-suspects), especially describing Trump Towers' decor as 'Late Gaddafi or possibly Early Sadam, a riot of dictator chic'.

Even Alexander Armstrong was mildly amusing, but then he was working with a script.

Merton really has become useless , it makes me cringe when he suddnly launches into one of his 'surrealist' rants and turns to the audience begging for attention

Merton is absolutely fine IMO. The programme wouldn't be the same without him.

I was a bit surprised they got away with the 'fat cats' acronym follow-up to J.A.Ms...and it's not like it was off-the-cuff: that had been conceived, approved, sent to artwork...

"Saddamchique" i think the description was!

I think I'm going to start using the acronym myself - couldn't be a better description for them.

Well Ian has had a long career as a comedy script writer and satirist before becoming editor of PE, so not surprising really.

Tonight:

Tom Hollander hosts with Hal Cruttenden on Ian's team and Suzanne Evans on Paul's.

The rest of the episodes are now confirmed:

9 December 2016 Mel Giedroyc Jacob Rees-Mogg MP Adil Ray
16 December 2016 Gary Lineker Jon Richardson Nicky Morgan MP

16th looks good, Gary and Jon are always funny.

Enjoy!

Very true, he wrote for Spitting Image in the 80s, and Harry Enfield in the 90s.

Nicky Morgan?
She looks like a rabbit in the headlights at the best of times, God knows how she'll be on this! ( Probably!)

Not a great show, Tom Hollander was an awful host, don't get him back. Some funny bits from the panellists but overall poor.
