After leaving Have I got news for you, Angus Deaton not only seemed to have aged considerably, he also got a Nobel prize. Congratulations ;)

Just saw that Angus Deaton won the @NobelPrize. 'Have I Got News For You?' was good in those days, to be fair.

Congrats to #AngusDeaton for his Nobel in Economics. He's certainly come a long way from Have I Got News For You and One Foot In The Grave.
