ONLY AVAILABLE ON VIDEO

with special guests
Martin Clunes Neil Morrissey

It's all true, more or less...

Twice the length of a normal show, this Have I Got News For You Video Special features all your favourite rounds and - as the Advertising Department has asked us to say - much, much more.

"You any 'Thatcher', Ian. Our survey says..."

See if you can beat the teams at guessing who is the country's most loathed politician. What do people want for Christmas? And who are the five least favourite guests every on Have I Got News For You?

Where else would you see Merton, Hislop, Clunes and Morrissey racing with needle and thread to stitch together the best Teletubby out of a red sock and a pair of tights? And how does William Hague fit into Ian's past? Was that why Ian walked off the set? (Er, no.)

What they say about this video...
