Tom Baker on Have i got news for you

Watch a clip HERE.....


Lock up your daleks, tie down your knitwear and get yourself behind the nearest sofa, because this week's show will be hosted by none other than Doctor Who legend, Tom Baker. Also most recently gracing our screens as the irreverent voice of Little Britain, Tom's incarnation as third Newslord of this series of HIGNFY promises to be something quite unforgettable.
Doctor Who is customarily joined by a pretty, young assistant, so after some careful casting we've gone for deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, Vince Cable, as the obvious choice. Our second guest this week, Chris Addison, also has some experience in pretending to influence government, having played Special Advisor to the Secretary of State in award-winning political comedy, The Thick Of It. Chris has also written and starred in his own sitcom, Lab Rats, as well as regularly performing stand-up around the country.
Bending the rules of space, time and, quite often, acceptable humour, the Have I Got News For You website may look a little poky on the outside, but offers the more intrepid explorer a Tardisian cavern of exclusive content within. As usual, we'll have our world-famous Inevitable Internet Spin-off, with outtakes from the show; we'll be delving deep into the life of one of our panellists in the Guest Interview; and there is the opportunity to show us how this whole topical humour thing should be done in our interactive Caption Challenge.
