About Have I Got News for You
The Deayton years from 1990 open on BBC Two with Hislop and Merton answering news rounds, running to series 24 in 2002. The show moves to BBC One in 2000 for bigger crowds. Deayton leaves two shows into series 24.
The guest host years from late 2002 run to today past series 72, with a new host weekly from Johnson to Fry. Extended Monday cuts add extra jokes. Watch from the start for the format, or jump to guest hosts for the modern run. Any episode stands alone. Hislop never missed a show in over 640 episodes.
Good to know
Episodes stand alone, so era order is a guide rather than a plot path. Start with early Deayton for the format birth. Guest hosts from 2003 give the modern flavor. Monday extended cuts add jokes for fans. The run continues past 640 episodes and keeps airing. Merton defines the comedy throughout every era on air, with hosts rotating weekly.
