Who’s on Have I Got News for You tonight as the show returns for its 58th series
HAVE I Got News For You is back with its 58th series TONIGHT and this season the guests are better than ever.
Team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton are back with a bang, but who will be their team mates? Here's all you need to know.
When is Have I Got News For You back?
It returns to our screens tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
It will run for nine half-hour episodes, airing weekly.
Tonight's episode will star Martin Clunes from Doc Martin and Men Having Badly - who is a regular guest on the panel.
Speaking to Ian said: “He’s done it so often, so he’s an incredibly good host and he was very good as a guest. I remember one of the first times he came on as a guest I thought how effortless he was.
“Recently, he was very funny about the Duke of Edinburgh trying to be polite to the Chinese leader on a state visit and the Queen having to tape over his mouth. He doesn’t mind a bit of trouble.
“He told Grayson Perry that his make-up was no good, which takes a certain amount of bravery.”
Who are the guests this series?
Alongside Martin Clunes, Ian and Paul will be joined by comedian Sara Pascoe and Lib Dem MP Layla Moran.
Talking about his ideal guest bookings, Ian said: “I think it would be quite funny to get Jacob Rees Mogg to come on and see if he wants to lie across two chairs. And then we could have Boris on, and he could just lie.

"I think she’d be very good in the chair. Once you’ve done the hosting job in the Supreme Court, I think there’s nowhere else to go… and she’ll be very impartial, I’m sure. As I am.”
