Juvenile jibes

as a fan of Have I Got News For You, I was disappointed with last week’s ‘tribute’ to Boris Johnson.

Where was the biting wit and satirical comment? Did the panellists’ obvious intense dislike of Boris blunt their usual tools of amusement?

Based on past form, it would have been naive to have expected an unbiased programme, but the juvenile jibes and lack of normal jocularity were so evident.

all the obvious targets were hit, but one could anticipate the punchlines long before they were uttered — a trait not usually associated with this programme. I hope Ian Hislop, Paul merton and Jack Dee regret their contribution because it certainly wasn’t their finest half-hour.

GEOFF LINDSEY, Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. HOW predictable: when the BBC turns out a panel of resentful Lefties, we can expect foul language and undisguised bias.

they did not disappoint! TIM BARTER, Salisbury, Wilts.
