Post categories: ,Ìý

David Thair | 16:00 UK time, Friday, 29 May 2009

Reverend Richard ColesTonight's Have I Got News For You is hosted by David Mitchell (soon to be seen in a new series of That Mitchell and Webb Look) who, as well as the regular team captains, will be joined by panellists Andrew Maxwell and . He's been on the show before, but that was some time ago...

HIGNFY:
You last appeared as a HIGNFY guest in 1994 - how do you feel returning now 15 years later?

Richard Coles: Bitter and vengeful.

HIGNFY: What stories do you think will be covered this week and how have you been preparing?

Richard Coles: I'm afraid I only see the paper after my neighbour Mr Welsh has finished with it, so I may be a little behind; but this 'credit crunch' looks like it might turn into something.

HIGNFY: Are you looking forward to reforming with Ian?

Richard Coles: Cometh the hour...

HIGNFY: It's the stuff of legend, you met Jimmy Somerville by chance at a Kings Cross Café - tell me more.

Richard Coles: I'm afraid we told so many lies about how we'd met I can't remember now where and when we actually did meet. It was more likely to have been the café in King Cross than the brothel in Amsterdam, which I once saw in a magazine.

HIGNFY: was the UK's biggest selling single of 1986 - how did that feel?

Richard Coles: Very bracing.

HIGNFY: Do you know what the Second highest selling single of 1986 was? It was Nick Berry Every Loser Wins.

Richard Coles: What a great year.

HIGNFY: How far from your life as a Rev are the pictures painted by comedies such as The Vicar of Dibley?

Richard Coles: You mean The Vicar of Dibley isn't a documentary?
