DAVID DIMBLEBY TO HOST HIGNFY

David Dimbleby is to return to BBC One just months after quitting as the presenter of Question Time – this time as host of Have I Got News for You.

The presenter has not been seen on screen since stepping down from the current affairs programme after 24 years but will be back on Friday 4 April at 9pm to host the long-running satirical TV show.

He said: “It is an intriguing invitation. When chairing Question Time I became used to dealing with difficult panellists – but Ian Hislop and Paul Merton are another matter. They have turned disruptive subversion into an art form. It will be quite a challenge to keep the show on the road but whatever happens it will be fun.”

The 80-year-old host will be joined by journalist and documentary film-maker Stacey Dooley and comedian Henning Wehn, along with team captains Hislop and Merton, for the first episode of the show’s nine-week run.


I thoroughly enjoy the show, which is often made (or unmade) by the quality of the presenter. It will be really interesting to see Dimbleby laughing on air !!
