This throwback to Tom Baker hosting Hignfy has gone wildly viral and it’s a fabulously funny watch

Here’s a rather wonderful 92 seconds to take you away from everything else going on right now.

It’s the great Tom Baker hosting – or rather, attempting to host – Have I Got News For You, one of the great episodes of the BBC1 panel show which aired back in 2008.

It went viral again after it was shared by writer and biographer @JamesAHogg2 whose very good at sending these sort of clips into orbit.

Here we have Tom Baker being delightfully Tom Baker, as only Tom Baker can, on Have I Got News For You.

Good morning. pic.twitter.com/z597uSoNaP

Tom Baker was my favourite Dr Who. Absolutely mad as a brush and a very funny gentleman. https://t.co/ELrystqh7C
