I saw this episode at the time, some of the "jokes" sunk like a stone,
what Claire Balding said about 9/11 was particularly embarassing.
It got incredibly serious.

It's the first HIGNFY I've seen for years.
I thought the 9/11 joke wasn't bad, actually. (For the unknowing...)
One of the reasons why I gave up on the programme was that it was a bit light; in this edition, there was just a hint of venom.

Used to always act smug and I can see from that clip he still does.

Weirdly, this was the first episode I'd seen for years too.
I have NO idea why I decided to that night. I guess a rare friday evening in.

I watched it on iplayer,
prompted, I think, by people here going "Ooooh, that 9/11 joke, eh?".

If she'd stopped at "airport" it might have just worked
