0:00:21 > 0:00:23And chairing tonight's meeting,

0:00:23 > 0:00:25it's everyone's favourite chairman,

0:00:25 > 0:00:28it's Chairman of the Club, Mr Chairman!

0:00:29 > 0:00:30APPLAUSE

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Hurray!

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Welcome!

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Welcome to The Committee Meeting!

0:00:37 > 0:00:40CHEERING

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Who's ready for the bell of authority?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44AUDIENCE: Yay!

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Who's ready to vote on things associated with Club business?

0:00:47 > 0:00:49AUDIENCE: Yay!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Who came to the last meeting? Yeah!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Kayleigh Goodhand there, our minute-taker.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00What have you got for us so far, Kayleigh?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Mr Chairman arrives, striding majestically through the club,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06his posture uncompromised by the fact that his flies are unzipped,

0:01:06 > 0:01:07but no-one has told him.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And I'll be damned if I've got the self-confidence to tell him,

0:01:10 > 0:01:13and I'll be damned if I'm going to complain!

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Thank you, Kayleigh!

0:01:17 > 0:01:18That's really lovely, Kayleigh.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Just remember, just try and keep it brief and neutral.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24A furious telling off from Mr Chairman left me wracked with guilt

0:01:24 > 0:01:25and self-doubt.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29His face, burning red like an angry tomato

0:01:29 > 0:01:30in a salad of disappointment.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Right, now coming up later we've got our special guest, Mr Colin Baker.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37AUDIENCE: Yay!

0:01:37 > 0:01:40But let's get going. It's time for the first item on the agenda,

0:01:40 > 0:01:43that is the arrival of lifelong caretaker of the club,

0:01:43 > 0:01:48deluded Marxist and health and safety obsessive, Mr Rex Jones!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Oh, hello! Ah!

0:01:51 > 0:01:52All right?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Look at this.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Look at this!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I mean the club is red hot, it's buzzing!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04It's like watching snooker on a colour television

0:02:04 > 0:02:05for the first time, all over again.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08I'm about to get a joy migraine, Mr Chairman, it's so exciting!

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Finally, new members!

0:02:09 > 0:02:12A bit of fresh blood has been injected into the club.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Look at you there.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Young people, I don't understand you,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17drinking your ridiculous drinks.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Back in my day you see, WKD stood for World Kidney Day,

0:02:21 > 0:02:23raising awareness.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Now it's just a short cut to hedonism, isn't it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29And you know young people, I bet you're king of the youth club

0:02:29 > 0:02:33in your bell-bottoms and cardigan there, fantastic!

0:02:33 > 0:02:34And some not so young!

0:02:34 > 0:02:38I bet you're as angry with decimalisation as I am, yes?

0:02:38 > 0:02:42If you don't understand the logic behind 240 pennies in a pound,

0:02:42 > 0:02:44you don't deserve your own money,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46that's what I've always said. Good to see you.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Hey, listen. What have you done to your eye?

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh, er, minor little DIY accident.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53No, what was it?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Nail gun.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57And are you going to be all right?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Spot of TCP, I'll be absolutely right as rain, Mr Chairman.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04See, these days, most people would call an injuries lawyer,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07but back in my day you'd put a nail through the retina

0:03:07 > 0:03:09down to experience.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Eh, you don't make that mistake twice, let me tell you!

0:03:12 > 0:03:15It's just not like you - a man so obsessed with health and safety.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I'm not obsessed, Mr Chairman, I'm just careful.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20You ruined last Friday's pool competition.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26LAUGHTER

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And we've not had an injury since, Mr Chairman.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I stand by it.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Come on, let's go and see what's on our first item on the agenda.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45It's the suggestion that, "during the club's belly dancing classes,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48"participants should wear modesty capes."

0:03:49 > 0:03:55And the proposer is Rex Jones. So, er, what's all this about?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58You know me, Mr Chairman. I am far from a prude, but the sight

0:03:58 > 0:04:03of any exposed human flesh will and does give me a panic attack.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08OK. You know, I mean the downside is that, as a result,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Mrs Rex and I are tragically childless.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12But, er...

0:04:13 > 0:04:17The upside is that she can knit literally anything.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21She knitted an Arc de Triomphe for the porch the other week.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's an incredible thing.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26All right, well, look, let's put it to the vote then, Members.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30All those in favour of modesty capes being worn... Mr Chairman?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Mr Chairman!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Oh, look who it is.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's Rex's estranged brother, from the Conservative Club!

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Rex.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Vernon.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41What do you want, Vernon?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I'm trying to run a committee meeting here.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Mr Chairman, it has come to my notice that you are to be hosting

0:04:46 > 0:04:48a celebrity guest this evening.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Yes, yes, we are.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55Well, it is my solemn duty to remind you that rule 371,

0:04:55 > 0:05:00subsection D, paragraph 4 of the village's 1982 Social Club Act,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04clearly states that, "in the event of a celebrity visit,

0:05:04 > 0:05:09"both clubs should have the opportunity to persuade or tempt

0:05:09 > 0:05:12"the star guest to their own premises, thus providing

0:05:12 > 0:05:15"residents with an equal opportunity to be starstruck."

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Who the hell wrote that?!

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Er, interesting story.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I did. Um... What did you write that for?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27We'd been negotiating for 39 hours straight,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Mr Chairman! I was very, very tired!

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Boutros Boutros-Ghali had walked out, and it was him

0:05:32 > 0:05:35who'd tabled the original motion.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36I was shattered!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39And as such, I would ask you, Mr Chairman, whether this guest

0:05:39 > 0:05:42has been given the choice of which club he would like to visit?

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Does he, for example, know what is available at the Conservative Club?

0:05:47 > 0:05:48No, I doubt it.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50The Jeremy Clarkson Car Park!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh, come on!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55The George Osborne central heating system!

0:05:55 > 0:05:56AUDIENCE: Boo!

0:05:56 > 0:05:58The Boris Johnson bicycle shed!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00AUDIENCE: Boo!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02The wasabi peas? AUDIENCE: Boo!

0:06:02 > 0:06:04All right, that's enough.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07You've annoyed the members so much they're booing peas, for God's sake!

0:06:07 > 0:06:11In that case, Mr Chairman, I demand the opportunity to put to the guest

0:06:11 > 0:06:16said benefits of my club over this damp-infested museum of drab.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Steady on!

0:06:19 > 0:06:20I shall return.

0:06:23 > 0:06:24Cheerio!

0:06:24 > 0:06:25AUDIENCE: Boo!

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Honestly! He doesn't know what he's talking about,

0:06:29 > 0:06:31"Nothing ever happens."

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I mean, last week, we thought there was a poltergeist.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Is there anybody there?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Please, make a noise.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Make a loud noise.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Argh! Argh!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Argh! Argh! What is it? What?! What?! What?!

0:06:50 > 0:06:51That is a direct contravention

0:06:51 > 0:06:53of the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974,

0:06:53 > 0:06:56that "all supporting structures should be fit for purpose."

0:06:56 > 0:06:59For God's sake, Rex! Can you not take your mind off the day-to-day

0:06:59 > 0:07:01running of the club and help me find a poltergeist?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04What is the matter with you?! Look at the state on that.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05For BLEEP's sake! Oh, who put that up?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Never mind who put it up!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I mean, in retrospect, it was a lot of fuss over nothing,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11but I stand by my original panic.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14All right, fair enough. Well, look, back to the agenda.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Members, all those who are in favour of modesty capes being worn

0:07:18 > 0:07:21during belly dancing classes, say "censorship."

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Censorship.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26And all those against, say "Live and let live!"

0:07:26 > 0:07:27AUDIENCE: Live and let live!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's actually closer than I thought it was going to be.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I was quite pleased with that.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37And unfortunately, that's a motion denied there, Rex, I'm afraid.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Kayleigh, if you could just jot that down now, that would be great.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43The crowd groaned as the decision fell like an anvil

0:07:43 > 0:07:47of disappointment on the repressed. Me? I loved it!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Kayleigh? Kayleigh, that's great.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Just remember, keep it neutral.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Mr Chairman, brutal in his put- downs, picked up my confidence

0:07:58 > 0:08:01and smashed it into the rocks like an emotionless fisherman,

0:08:01 > 0:08:06dashing the life out of a gullible mackerel, drowned in salty misery!

0:08:08 > 0:08:13Next item on the agenda is, er, let's have a look what it is.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, it's your new Health and Safety video, Rex. Yes.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Oh, you've had some crackers as well, over the years, haven't you?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Certainly have.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23"The myth of the shatter-proof ruler - a wolf in sheep's clothing."

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Two long years in the making.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yeah. "Urine - curing an earache on a budget."

0:08:27 > 0:08:30The critics never liked it, but it did the trick.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33This is my favourite, "Blu-Tack: a warning from history." Oh, yes.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37We used the same script writer as on Nutty Professor 2, The Klumps.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40He hadn't worked for years, bless him.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Here's some more great advice from Rex Jones to help keep you safe

0:08:46 > 0:08:47in your daily life.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I am the spirit of dangerous clothing.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I live in your drawers.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03That polo-neck jumper looks warm,

0:09:03 > 0:09:05comfy, safe.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Oh, that's a lovely-looking jumper.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09But it isn't. It's the wrong size.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Oh, no! Oh, God!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13The man trying it on is a fool.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Argh!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Careless. Or maybe he was just bold.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19He hadn't checked the label.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Oh, it's too tight. I can't breathe!

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Argh, my life has been screwed-up by an analytic roll-neck.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28But he thought he could get dressed on his own...

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Choking now!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31..without help.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, I couldn't have foreseen this, dying!

0:09:38 > 0:09:41He was wrong. Don't be a show-off.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Always read the label before getting dressed.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Remember, check neck and pull.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Brought to you by the Cardigan Advisory Bureau.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Best one yet. Thank you.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Solve the small problems,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57such as jumpers with necks that are too tight,

0:09:57 > 0:10:01and the big problems will look after themselves.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Not my words, the words of Yasser Arafat.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, maybe it was Ariel Sharon that told him, I don't know,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12it's very muddy, but listen, I've just realised that Colin

0:10:12 > 0:10:15hasn't seen the video, so I'd better nip off and explain it to him.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Right. OK, fine. Righto, OK. Cheerio.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20A quick bit of club news, members.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Rex has asked me to point out he's put up a new cork board

0:10:22 > 0:10:25in the lounge and he's said, if you could try and use

0:10:25 > 0:10:28the drawing pin holes that are already there,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31when you're putting stuff up, it'll just help on wear and tear.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32He'll be really grateful.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Hey, whoa! What are you doing to me?!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Reading out the news like that, in front of my face.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38You're disrespecting me, it's unbelievable!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40No, I wasn't, it wasn't news, it's just a bit of club business.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Ladies and gentlemen, members, it's Steve News, Rex's nephew.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47He reads the village news!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Aw! Are you all right?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51No. Yes. I don't know.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Why are you asking me this? What's wrong with you?

0:10:53 > 0:10:54Want to do the village news now?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Oh, yeah, of course I do, because like, news is my life,

0:10:57 > 0:10:58I want to be a newsreader,

0:10:58 > 0:11:01because like, when you're from the tough streets of Wales,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03like, being a newsreader is like your only escape route.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Because I'm a wilting flower

0:11:05 > 0:11:07and I need the photosynthesis of current affairs.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11So why don't you, look, as there's a whole load of new members here

0:11:11 > 0:11:14tonight, why don't you tell them why you want to be a newsreader so much?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Because it's like the best job of all time.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Have you see the MTV Cribs with Huw Edwards on it, right?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21He's got this lush house in Llanelli, right?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23He's got, like, a Jacuzzi, he's got like a shark tank

0:11:23 > 0:11:26and he's got all these birds and a shark tank, and they're all naked

0:11:26 > 0:11:29and he's like, Huw Edwards is banging all the birds, like that.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31He was so brilliant when he were doing commentary

0:11:31 > 0:11:33on like the Olympic opening ceremony,

0:11:33 > 0:11:36he was like, "Yeah, wasn't Trevor Nelson woefully out of his depth?"

0:11:36 > 0:11:38And they were like, "Yeah, you are" as he told

0:11:38 > 0:11:40quite a boring anecdote about his cousin being involved.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43And he was like, "Yeah, you don't get any of that with me, do you?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46"You're the best, I love the gravity of your amazing accent."

0:11:46 > 0:11:48He's like, "Yeah!" And all the sharks, they're loving it,

0:11:48 > 0:11:51they're like getting all turned on and like battering against the glass

0:11:51 > 0:11:54of the shark tank, and he's like, "Yeah, whatever, shark!"

0:11:54 > 0:11:56And then he goes in like a steam room, right?

0:11:56 > 0:11:57And he's got like,

0:11:57 > 0:12:00there's like a second 11 of birds in the steam room.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03So he walks in, kimono on, big dragon on the back, right?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06And he's like "All right?"

0:12:06 > 0:12:08And I go, "Oh! You're giving us a bit of attention are you now, Huw?"

0:12:08 > 0:12:10And they're taking off their dressing gowns,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13like Marks Spencer, and you know, like, whatever.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15So one of them sidles up to him, like,

0:12:15 > 0:12:17"Is there anything you don't know about news?"

0:12:17 > 0:12:20He's like, "Test me, then, test me!" And she's like, "OK,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22"who's Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions?"

0:12:22 > 0:12:25"That's Liam Byrne. Ask me a difficult one!"

0:12:25 > 0:12:27And she's like, "Oh, OK then, this will catch you out!

0:12:27 > 0:12:29"Who's Shadow Secretary of State for Education?"

0:12:29 > 0:12:31He's like, "Stephen Twigg!"

0:12:31 > 0:12:33"Just remember I was covering the reshuffle!"

0:12:33 > 0:12:34She was like, "Oh, yeah, I'm so stupid."

0:12:34 > 0:12:37This other girl's like, "Oh, give me a bit of Huw Edwards!"

0:12:37 > 0:12:38He's like, "Oh, come on, then."

0:12:38 > 0:12:40So that one just walks off, she's gutted, right?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43And she's like, "Oh, who's Speaker of the House of Commons?"

0:12:43 > 0:12:46He's like, "I could go back as far as Betty Boothroyd if you want."

0:12:46 > 0:12:48"Oh, yeah, yeah." So yeah, I'm watching that

0:12:48 > 0:12:50and I'm skinning up at home thinking,

0:12:50 > 0:12:52"That's what I want to do with my life, just what I want to do, like."

0:12:52 > 0:12:55That's what I want to be, I want to be a newsreader, yeah.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Right, are you sure that was Huw Edwards?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02No, hold on.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05That was Jay-Z.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07LAUGHTER

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Huw Edwards' house is shit.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's just full of books.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15All right, well, listen, as Steve News tonight,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18would you like to read the news from a desk, like a proper newsreader?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Oh, yeah, like your desk there? Yeah, that would be amazing.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23I'm just going to come and sit next to you.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26What, like you're sort of Rory Cellan-Jones, the technology expert?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29No, I'm just going to make sure it's all going to go OK. Fair enough.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Just check that, you know, your stories are appropriate. Yes.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33Right, OK, well, are you ready?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Huw Edwards has got loads of birds under the desk, like,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38and he's like...

0:13:38 > 0:13:41So there's your camera. OK. All right, so are you ready? Yeah.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Ladies and gentlemen, Steve News doing the Village News!

0:13:44 > 0:13:48APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Thanks, Chris.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Mark Leaf from town was told off by his mother for forgetting

0:13:56 > 0:13:57his boot bag on the bus,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00and she was angry because it was a birthday present

0:14:00 > 0:14:02and they're more expensive now than they were then,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05because the shop had just opened and it was a special offer.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09In other news, there was great celebration in the village today

0:14:09 > 0:14:11when Dinger was given a kitten after being banned for six months

0:14:11 > 0:14:13from having pets, because last Bonfire Night

0:14:13 > 0:14:17he strapped a frog to a firework and just fired it into a tree.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Move on, Steve.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20But within a hundred yards of here,

0:14:20 > 0:14:23rural peace was shattered on Saturday night, when Darren Flaps

0:14:23 > 0:14:26attacked his friend Gofer for riding his bike over his tent.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31The defendant spoke only to confirm that his name was Darren Flaps,

0:14:31 > 0:14:33and that and that his address was a tent

0:14:33 > 0:14:35when questioned by Tony the campsite manager

0:14:35 > 0:14:37whilst Gofer was having his nose reset by Craig,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41who plays rugby for the school, he's just done it loads of times.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42All right. Hang on.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47What are you doing? I'm just getting a bit of breaking news, innit?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49What, are you wearing an earpiece? No.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's just breaking news in my mind.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54All right, cool. Can I do a bit of breaking news?

0:14:54 > 0:14:56We've got quite a lot to get through, can we...?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00Oh, come on, we've got to do it! This is news. It's happening. It's already all over Twitter,

0:15:00 > 0:15:01You going to let me do the news or not?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's breaking news, a proper scoop.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Is this next story appropriate for audience?

0:15:06 > 0:15:08100%.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10On my mother's life.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13You don't know who your mother is, Steve.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm trusting you. I swear to you.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16I swear to you.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21OK. OK. There's your camera.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22Director's having a go at me now

0:15:22 > 0:15:25because he took ages to make a decision.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Cheers.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30The world of education was rocked today,

0:15:30 > 0:15:32because during lunchtime, my friend Tez, he proved that

0:15:32 > 0:15:35he can make himself sick whenever he wants to,

0:15:35 > 0:15:38and he's been suspended for wiping spew on a lollipop lady's jacket.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39No, move on, move on Steve. Move on.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43And he's a virgin, because his wang is tapered at the end.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46That's enough, that's enough! Steve News did the village news!

0:15:46 > 0:15:50Come on.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58That was really good, well done. I really loved it.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01That was great. Listen, I'm not an emotional man,

0:16:43 > 0:16:47Look at that. Not even bloodshot.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'm like Wolverine.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51LAUGHTER

0:16:51 > 0:16:55"Could all members please refrain from using the hand-dryer

0:16:55 > 0:16:56"in the ladies' toilet,

0:16:56 > 0:17:00"as it is on the adjoining wall to the committee room

0:17:00 > 0:17:02"and may spoil the greatest showbiz moment this club has ever had."

0:17:04 > 0:17:07You've just done that!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Oh, better safe than sorry.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Don't worry, I'll do it again. It'll be fine, it'll be fine.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. OK.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Please welcome to the Committee Meeting, Doctor Who himself ...

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Mr Chairman, Mr Chairman... Fuck off! Sorry!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Colin Baker!

0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's Colin Baker!

0:17:33 > 0:17:34MUSIC: Theme from "Doctor Who"

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Oh, my God, the bins are on fire!

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Ah, it's Colin Baker, ladies and gentlemen.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48That is a proper celebrity!

0:17:48 > 0:17:50In Wales!

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Of all places. Welcome.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53An honour, Mr Chairman, an honour.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Ever get nervous in front of audiences?

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Because you've been doing theatre and acting for many a year,

0:17:58 > 0:18:01or are you superstitious? Because this is all very new to us.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Well, not nervous now, because this lot look very friendly,

0:18:04 > 0:18:06but certainly the beginning of my career

0:18:06 > 0:18:08I used to have one very strange superstition.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12I decided that the first pair of knickers I ever wore on my

0:18:12 > 0:18:17first night as an actor must have been lucky, because I survived it.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20So I used to wear them on first nights for many years,

0:18:20 > 0:18:23until they fell apart, my paisley knickers.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26The only time I had difficulty is when I was doing a play

0:18:26 > 0:18:29when I started off with no clothes on at all.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33So I had the knickers in the bed with me.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh, hello. That's that sorted. Smoker, are you?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Oh. Hello. Good to meet you.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Rex, have you met Colin? Yes, yes, yes.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Well, the interesting thing is that I'm actually a friend of the family.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Are you? I used to drink with your grandfather, at his club.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Did you? Yes, I did. Em, what was your grandfather's name again?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51John.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53John. John Baker. JB. Good old JB.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Oh, what a man!

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Oh, he was a real story-teller, a fable-monger.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Oh, we used to love him at this club.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I remember once, he, er, we'd had a couple of pints...

0:19:08 > 0:19:12He told me this story because his wife, your grandmother,

0:19:12 > 0:19:13what was her name again? Lottie.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Good old Lottie, yeah. Good old Lottie.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17She needed some steak mince,

0:19:17 > 0:19:20because she needed to make some chilli con carne

0:19:20 > 0:19:21or spaghetti bolognese or something,

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I don't know which one, I've tasted neither.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29But she'd sent him into town to buy some steak mince,

0:19:29 > 0:19:32so she'd written the word "steak mince" on a Post-it note,

0:19:32 > 0:19:33and he had it in his top pocket.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Pocket!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Anyway, he was a man on a mission, so he walked right into town

0:19:38 > 0:19:41and he went right up to the meat counter in the supermarket

0:19:41 > 0:19:43and he said, "Some steak mince, please."

0:19:43 > 0:19:46And she said, "We haven't got any, we've only got beef mince."

0:19:46 > 0:19:50And he said, "Well it's steak mince I need, steak mince I'll have."

0:19:50 > 0:19:52And she said, "We haven't got any. Why don't you have some beef mince?"

0:19:52 > 0:19:54And he went, "But it's steak mince I need."

0:19:54 > 0:19:56She said, "No, no, it's fine. It's fine."

0:19:56 > 0:20:00"Buy the beef mince, because it will taste exactly the same."

0:20:00 > 0:20:02And he said, "Will it?"

0:20:02 > 0:20:05And she said, "It will."

0:20:05 > 0:20:07And he bought it, and it did!

0:20:11 > 0:20:13What a story.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Mr Chairman. Mr Chairman!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh! He's back.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20This is Vernon, who's caretaker of the Conservative Club.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Right, what do you want, Vernon?

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, empowered by the 1982 Social Club Act,

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I am here to put to your guest, Mr Baker,

0:20:28 > 0:20:31that an evening in the Conservative Club is

0:20:31 > 0:20:34infinitely superior to contracting Weil's Disease in this place.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Ah, come on, the thing is, Colin,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39he is constitutionally allowed to do this, so just hear him out,

0:20:39 > 0:20:42he'll do a presentation and at the end of it you can choose whether

0:20:42 > 0:20:45you want to stay with us in this club or go with Vernon

0:20:45 > 0:20:47to the Conservative Club. So just hear him out.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Mr Baker, a short presentation to extol the virtues

0:20:50 > 0:20:52of the Conservative Club.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Hurray! Ah, the right decision. Well done, Colin. Well done.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well done. I like it here!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yeah, good. Nice class of member. Cheerio.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12AUDIENCE BOOS

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Right, well, we've got a little bit of time for a few questions

0:22:15 > 0:22:17from the floor, from members.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I know I've got one from Moira Jenkins who's a big Doctor Who fan.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Where's Moira?

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Oh, right, yes. Oh, she's gone. She's had to nip out.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Oh, right. CAR HORN BEEPS?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27That's Moira, yeah.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29She's in the car park? She's in the car park.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31There's something very important so I've had a word with her -

0:22:31 > 0:22:34I think she's going to shout her question from the car.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Ah, no problem at all. OK, Are you there Moira? Yes!

0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, are you sure you don't want to come in?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42No, my car's parked on double yellows.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44OK, ask your question.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46All right, Colin, answer me this -

0:22:46 > 0:22:50who would win in a fight between a Dalek and a Cyberman?

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Hmm, well, in my day it would have been the Cybermen

0:22:54 > 0:22:56because the daleks couldn't move very fast

0:22:56 > 0:22:59so the Cyberman could jump on them I suppose.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Yeah, of course.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Nowadays Daleks can fly so probably they'd win.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Yeah. Which do you prefer? Well, the thing is I would have

0:23:08 > 0:23:10thought that actually... Oh, my God, I'm being booked!

0:23:12 > 0:23:13Thank you, Moira.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16She got a parking ticket. They're like bloody vultures round here.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Oh, so sorry, poor Moira. We can't let you go without

0:23:19 > 0:23:21asking you about I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here

0:23:21 > 0:23:23because of course you were on that, was that good fun?

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Did you genuinely enjoy that? Er, enjoy is not perhaps the right word

0:23:27 > 0:23:29but I'm glad I did it. Yeah.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31But it was very boring.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Was he much of a conversationalist, Eric Bristow?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Eric was a good lad, I liked Eric, yeah, we got on really well.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39And I lost a bit of weight, which it can't be a bad thing.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Well, it can't be a bad thing, but I do notice, on that food point,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44you didn't eat anything nasty in a Bushtucker Trial.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Not in a Bushtucker Trial,

0:23:46 > 0:23:48but the food they gave us, you didn't always get nice food.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Right, well, in the spirit of eating stuff then,

0:23:50 > 0:23:53right, we've got a little Bushtucker Trial for you...

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Oh, no.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58..because we want you to eat

0:23:58 > 0:24:00some Battenberg,

0:24:00 > 0:24:02but it's more a test of your acting skills -

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I want you to eat it imagining that

0:24:04 > 0:24:06it's a kangaroo's anus.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08LAUGHTER

0:24:08 > 0:24:10OK.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12All right, thank you very much.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Do I have to swallow it?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Yes. It is just Battenberg, Colin.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I was in character then!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Oh, sorry, somebody's got drama GNVQ!

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Right, here we go. Here we go.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Kangaroo's anus... Yes, please.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well done, Colin.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53which should have started two minutes ago, yes, so you're on my time now.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Yeah, well that is true. We need to crack on, OK,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59because belly buttons don't dance themselves, do they, hmm?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02OK? So ... That is true. That is... Get in your kit, please.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05OK, well I'll just wrap up, Rog, and then we'll be with you.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09albeit incompetent, member of this class.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Although I couldn't find that so it's oregano,

0:26:24 > 0:26:26so tonight it will smell of pizza, but nonetheless...
