I was rewatching clips from the later Angus era hignfy and it got me thinking again, why did Ian and Paul come down on Angus so hard than they usually did in the earlier series just for doing his job lmaoo they rarely had any problems with him reading out the jokes (which he also wrote) back in the earlier series but then out of the sudden they started ripping him for doing it?

I sometimes think that this show makes him look like a talentless git (even tho he did radio and comedy writing for years before hignfy) lol

Obviously resentment grew the longer the show went on, he was paid more, Ian and Paul (maybe selfishly) thought he was doing an easier job because he didn't have to come up with his own jokes and got credit for things that yes he had involvement with but was also backed up by a whole team of writers. And like, it was funny when they attacked him lmao. It was sort of safe ground to go after him, they knew the audience wouldn't be against it and it's always nice with a target. Also it's always more fun to go after the person who is supposed to be in power. I feel like either people give Angus way to much credit, like they don't realise that he has a script to read off. Or then like you said he gets miscredited like because he reads from a script he has no talent and puts no effort into it at all.
