This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 81.6.219.209 (talk) at 21:02, 9 June 2004 (→Series 11). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of episodes from the satirical news-based panel game Have I Got News For You.

From series 1 until series 10 the show was chaired by Angus Deayton, with team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton and a guest on each team. For series 11, Paul Merton took a break, and so his team consisted of two guests. From series 12 until series 24 it returned to its original format.

Angus Deayton left the show after show two of series 24, and a series of guest hosts have taken his place since then. Paul Merton was guest host for show three of that series.
