Have I Got News for You (HIGNFY) is a British television panel show produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC. Episodes were originally aired on BBC Two between 28 September 1990 to 2 June 2000, before being aired on BBC One since 20 October 2000.

## Footnotes

* ↑ The scores were not stated at the end of this episode
* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Christmas special
* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Election special
* ↑ The game finished as a tie at 16–16, so the caption competition was used as a tie-breaker, where Paul earned the biggest laugh. This is the only time points have ever been awarded for this section.
* ↑ Special programme for Comic Relief, combining elements of Have I Got News for You with another popular panel show, A Question of Sport.
* ↑ The tub of lard was a stand-in for Roy Hattersley, who had pulled out of a recording at the last minute for the third time. Angus explained that Hattersley and the lard were "imbued with many of the same qualities". This marks the first occasion that the panel consisted of fewer than five people.
* ↑ "Margaret Thatcher special", focusing on her period as Prime Minister and broadcast as part of a night of programming themed around her. Agreed by both Ian and Paul to be the show's 'worst' episode, due to the two guests doing nothing but "spit poison at each other".
* ↑ The 50th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ In a typical example of the occasional 'end of season japes', Ian and Paul swapped seats – and dress senses – for this episode.
* ↑ It was during this episode that Ian was suffering from appendicitis.
* ↑ Included a special guest appearance by Germaine Greer in the Odd One Out round, and extra features including a video diary from The Rt. Hon. Tub of Lard MP.
* ↑ Colin was a parrot that had been trained to squawk out various heckles at Angus, but its only contribution was a brief "Hello" towards the end. Paul Merton later explained that gimmicks like this contributed to his decision to take the following series off.
* ↑ The 100th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ Originally, only Christine had been due to appear, but she requested an extra seat be reserved for husband Neil (only a week after Martin Bell had famously ousted him from Parliament in that year's general election). This marked the first occasion where the panel has consisted of more than five people.
* ↑ The end of this episode featured a walk-on guest appearance by Mr. Bramley, where he was "awarded" to the losers.
* 1 2 Special programme for Comic Relief, combining elements of Have I Got News for You with the other then-leading comedy panel shows on the BBC; Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and They Think It's All Over. Although the latter two were made by a different production company to HIGNFY, there was one crucial link between all three besides basic format; producer Harry Thompson.
* ↑ The 150th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ Due to the legal circumstances surrounding him at the time, Shayler's contribution was recorded via satellite linkup from a studio in Paris, which was fed into a monitor on set. Merton was visibly unimpressed with the arrangement, as it left his guest two seconds behind everyone else, affecting the timing of the comedy.
* ↑ Robert Reed was a member of Conservative Future who, in the footsteps of William Hague (by this point the party's leader), had made a speech at the previous year's Conservative Party Conference at the age of 16. Conservative Conference – Bad day, good day guardian.co.uk, 6 October 1999
* ↑ The game finished as a draw at 10–10. Ian and Paul were made to play Stone, Paper, Scissors to find a winner. Ian chose Paper and Paul chose Scissors, thus making Paul's team the winners.
* ↑ Ian's team had won the show 13–12, but as a 'tribute' to American guest Rich Hall, Paul's team were made the winners. This was a reference to the-then ongoing American election controversy, where George W. Bush was going to win the election even though Al Gore had seemingly received more votes than him.
* ↑ Moved back a day because of BBC One's coverage of Children in Need. All autumn series following this would skip Children in Need week altogether (apart from 2010, when the show had moved to Thursdays, and 2022, when the series began several weeks earlier than usual because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup).
* ↑ The game finished as a draw at 10–10, so Angus asked a tie-break question, which was "What is the capital of Albania?", which Sanjeev correctly answered as Tirana, thus making Ian's team the winners, with the bonus point visibly shown on screen after the correct answer was given.
* ↑ The real Elton John was due to appear, (Elton has News for You BBC News, 22 May 2001) but pulled out at the last minute. He was replaced by taxi driver Ray Johnson (credited as 'Ray Elton John Son'), who at the time had a side earning as the musician's lookalike. However, Johnson was introduced to the audience as if he genuinely was "Sir Elton John" and kept silent for the whole recording. On-screen captions between rounds were the only part of the show that openly admitted the deception, where the real Elton John was frequently referred to as a "bastard".
* ↑ Making her first appearance at the age of 16, Charlotte Church holds the record for the show's youngest ever guest.
* ↑ The 200th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ First episode to be repeated as an extended 40-minute version
* ↑ The game actually finished as a tie at 13–13, however Ian complained about leaving the score as a tie and Jack Dee duly awarded an extra point to Paul's team, thus making them the winners.
* ↑ The 250th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ Dedicated to creator and original producer Harry Thompson, who died before broadcast.
* ↑ Ian's team were winning for the majority of the show (and actually won outright), but at the end the scores were fixed to say 45–1 to Paul's team, on account of Dr Phil Hammond's remarks that he was told he could host the show if his team won.
* ↑ Moved back a day because of BBC One's coverage of England's first match at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium, against Brazil.
* ↑ The 300th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ US Election special
* ↑ Paul Merton was unable to attend the recording of this episode, so Skinner took his place as team captain
* ↑ This episode also included a guest appearance by Brian Blessed, dressed as Father Christmas.
* ↑ Moved back a day to the Friday slot that was regular before this series. If left, as originally scheduled, on voting day itself – before the polls closed – then the programme would have been duty bound by broadcasting impartiality rules to not show any opinionated comment on the key issues of the election.
* ↑ Temporarily swapped places with Paul Merton, as the two captains accepted the offer of a coalition (in a reference to the election's result of a hung parliament), which lasted for one round.
* ↑ Moved back a day due to the Royal Variety Performance.
* ↑ Broadcast live on the BBC website as part of 24 Hour Panel People, a fund-raising day-long marathon of panel shows, all featuring David Walliams, who took the role of captain for HIGNFY. Neither of the regular captains were present, though Paul Merton was originally scheduled to appear, before pulling out because of illness. Clive Anderson took his place in the second captain's seat.
* ↑ Dedicated to theme composer Big George, who died before broadcast.
* ↑ The 350th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ The show ended in a 6–6 draw, so a quickfire tiebreak round was played where the panel had to identify the waxworks of the Louis Tussaud museum in Great Yarmouth, which had featured as a news item earlier in the show as it was facing closure. The attraction is infamous for the poor quality of its waxworks and the fact that most of the figures are not contemporary.
* ↑ Making her first appearance at the age of 90, Baroness Trumpington holds the record for the show's oldest ever guest (when ranking by age on appearance).
* ↑ The 400th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ This episode ended with a tribute to former leader of the Liberal Democrats and nine-time HIGNFY guest Charles Kennedy, who had died earlier in the week.
* ↑ The 450th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ The handbag was a stand-in for former Secretary of State for Education Nicky Morgan, who pulled out following controversy caused by her criticism of Prime Minister Theresa May being photographed in a £995 pair of leather trousers for The Sunday Times. The handbag was in reference to a revelation that Morgan herself owned a £950 leather handbag (of the same make used on the show).
* ↑ This episode was moved to BBC Two due to a Question Time special.
* ↑ This episode also featured a guest appearance from Peter Snow during the second round.
* ↑ The 500th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ Pulled from its originally scheduled 10 May 2019 airdate due to the confirmation that the 2019 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom would go ahead, which conflicted with the booking of Heidi Allen.
* ↑ Brought forward a day due to coverage of the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
* ↑ 60-minute documentary celebrating the show's 30th anniversary.
* ↑ Pulled from its originally scheduled 9 April 2021 airdate due to the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This date refers to the original airdate of the extended edition, which was broadcast as usual on BBC Two, having moved there at the start of the year.
* ↑ Pulled from its originally scheduled 15 October 2021 airdate due to the murder of David Amess MP.
* ↑ This episode also featured a guest appearance from Jackie Weaver during the Odd One Out round.
* ↑ The 550th broadcast episode of HIGNFY
* ↑ "Boris Johnson special", marking his career and resignation.
* ↑ The two episodes scheduled for 9 and 16 September 2022 were cancelled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The episode of 9 September 2022 would have been hosted by Charlie Brooker with panellists Helen Lewis and Ivo Graham, while the one scheduled for 16 September 2022 would have been hosted by Jess Phillips MP with panellists Henning Wehn and Ruth Davidson.
* ↑ This episode also featured a guest appearance from Michael Sheen during the Odd One Out round.
* ↑ In reference to a mistake by VAR Darren England from the 30 September 2023 Spurs – Liverpool game, the scores were wrongly read out as 4–6 (with the correct scores still appearing onscreen). As the credits rolled, a voiceover of a mock-VAR team approved the decision, only to "realise their own mistake" as the credits ended.
* ↑ Amol Rajan was scheduled to host, (Amol Rajan to host Have I Got News for You Chortle, 8 May 2024) but pulled out when the 2024 United Kingdom general election was called the day before the recording due to impartiality rules concerning BBC presenters.
* ↑ The 600th broadcast episode of HIGNFY. This episode also featured a guest appearance from Mark Brown of The Horne Section during the second round
* ↑ Dedicated to the memory of former BBC lawyer Roger Law, who had died between series
* ↑ Wood is the current host of the U.S. edition of the program which started airing on CNN on September 14, 2024.
* ↑ Dedicated to the memory of founder of PR firm KPPR (which is working with HIGNFY) Katie Phillips, who had died on 28 November
* ↑ Chris McCausland stated in a Virgin Radio UK interview that he was booked to appear in this episode as he did not anticipate making it to the final as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing series 22. However, McCausland was unable to attend the HIGNFY recording because he was rehearsing for the Strictly final, which he went on to win.
* ↑ Special programme of Have I Got News for You with the news from 2024 revolving around sports.
