Yes, it's still on, 25 years later. Yes, it's sort of become a staple in the British comedy landscape. But that doesn't make it good.
When HIGNFY is funny,it's on the money in terms of satire. However in recent years it's just become almost a send up of itself. The same old guest hosts back time and time again. We've seen what they can do, next please.
The best bit of the shows run for me was when Brucie was on the first time and pretty much reminded the nation why we love him.
I'm not saying axe it, the BBC aren't flush for comedies right now, they need it. But maybe give it more of a rest between series. Maybe then it'll come back a bit more refreshed, and funny.
