0:02:35 > 0:02:36Andy Hamilton.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39APPLAUSE

0:02:41 > 0:02:45We start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Ian and Charlie, take a look at this.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- It's the G8 Summit.- It's Cameron sunning his moobs.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's the French Prime Minister. He hasn't got the hang of it.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58That's a man using a computer to monitor

0:02:58 > 0:03:00the three remaining coins in the economy.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04This is the G8 Summit

0:03:04 > 0:03:08and Greece's attempts to "Klingon" to the euro.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12GROANS AND APPLAUSE

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Can I just say, what a joy and what a surreal experience it is

0:03:15 > 0:03:17having you on this show.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:20 > 0:03:22May I say

0:03:22 > 0:03:24it's an out-of-body experience for me too.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28How did the, er...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32How did the Head of the International Institute of Finance

0:03:32 > 0:03:34describe the state of Europe?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36- It's a catastrophe. - It's a eurozone meltdown,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39which sounds like a gay nightclub.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43They're very worried about Greece.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I saw a headline that said markets slide on Greece.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47To be fair,

0:03:47 > 0:03:50everything slides on Greece.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51It was somewhere between...

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Your Sunday Times newspaper painted the worse case scenario.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's not ours!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It belongs to Mr Murdoch, he's yours. He's an American.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07THIS Sunday Times newspaper

0:04:07 > 0:04:10painted the worse-case scenario in the event of the Greeks

0:04:10 > 0:04:11crashing out of the euro.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Can you describe it to me?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17There's a run on the banks, in Greece. Then we're exposed to that

0:04:17 > 0:04:19and all the other countries fail.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Then giant rats roam the streets throughout the whole of Europe.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28We're invaded by aliens. There's only one man to call on.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:32 > 0:04:33They said:

0:04:45 > 0:04:46But on the other hand...

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Don't worry, David Cameron's got it all under control.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- It's his ship now. - Yes, it's his ship

0:04:55 > 0:04:57but not with a P.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Would you like to see the G8 leaders adopting a tough stance?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Yes.- Yes, please.- Here they are!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09There's ten of them. They can't even count.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:05:14 > 0:05:16They did come to an agreement, though.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18They've agreed to do nothing.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Didn't they agree to buy the man at the end a new jumper?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28ANDY: That's just somebody's dad. He's wandered in.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31What did the French President do wrong at the G8 Summit,

0:05:31 > 0:05:32according to the Telegraph?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34According to the Telegraph? Well, he's French.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Apparently, Francois Hollande...

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Here they are at dinner with no ties.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51You can see how Camp David is relaxed and peaceful

0:05:51 > 0:05:54and the others are enjoying themselves too.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Medvedev's choice of an ice breaker joke, with Angela Merkel is...

0:06:02 > 0:06:05That looks like a Nazi salute.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08The left hand's coming up to do that.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11"Do you remember him? Do you remember him, love?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- "Do you remember him?" - Where was the real talking done?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Going to the gym. Didn't Obama and Cameron go to the gym together?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- CHARLIE: On a treadmill. - On a treadmill, was it?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Early in the morning.- Going nowhere, what a wonderful metaphor!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26It was on a running machine early in the morning after the dinner.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Cameron and Obama went to the gym together

0:06:29 > 0:06:30and according to the Observer:

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I kind of imagine that when Obama knocked on Cameron's cabin door,

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Cameron opened it... in a short bathrobe,

0:06:50 > 0:06:53his legs shining with oil...

0:06:55 > 0:06:56..and the muscles of his thighs...

0:06:56 > 0:06:59That's what you'd do, isn't it?

0:07:00 > 0:07:04You can see why Obama's going for the gay marriage vote.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Or why he has an affinity towards Merkel.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm sorry, these things will be cut out as we go along.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16How has this casual approach...

0:07:16 > 0:07:18You haven't seen this show, have you?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21That's true and luckily, I may add.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27How has this casual approach damaged David Cameron?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31He is accused of chillaxing too much.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Chillaxing is a horrible word.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's a combination of chilling out and relaxing.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Anyone who combines words like that is just a funt.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Wait a minute. That is not an American word.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56- What is that word again?- It's a funt. It's short for frightful count.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00You're right he was chillaxing.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04He cooks, he drinks wine, he watches DVDs with his wife.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION: - Plays snooker,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- has his own karaoke machine.- Plays what?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Snooker. It's another blend word.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Snoozing with... - With a bit of nookie!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:18 > 0:08:22You play it with something long and balls.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24You chalk the tip as well.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28I don't see the problem with Cameron relaxing.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31This thing about, he watches films on DVD.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33If he's watching a film on DVD,

0:08:33 > 0:08:37that's an hour-and-a-half where he can't be doing any damage.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Can you name some of his favourite pieces of relaxation technology?

0:08:43 > 0:08:47He's addicted to playing a video game called Fruit Ninja.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51There are video games he could play where he learns to run a country

0:08:51 > 0:08:54or oversee the infrastructure of a small city but, no,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57he's swiping at revolving fruit.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00That serves no purpose. Britain has never and will never,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02come under attack from revolving fruit.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Until it does, he's wasting his time.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09What other leisure activities were available at Camp David?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Watching the football.- Yeah.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Here they are watching the first shoot-out

0:09:14 > 0:09:17that Obama watched live on TV.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Of course, this is not the first. There was another shoot-out.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:24 > 0:09:27David Cameron had plenty of other things to worry about.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31What just emerged from the Leveson Inquiry about the BSkyB bid?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34This is a memo to Cameron from Jeremy Hunt.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Mr Hunt was meant to be an impartial judge about whether Mr Murdoch,

0:09:38 > 0:09:40who owns YOUR Sunday Times,

0:09:40 > 0:09:43should be allowed to own anything else over here.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Hunt appeared to have already made up his mind, extraordinarily.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- That's outrageous! - It is absolutely outrageous.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Well, what is being done about it?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Well, phasers set to stun, I think.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Why has Jeremy Hunt got the haircut of an 11-year-old boy?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's true. He's got that duckling tuft thing.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Duckling Tuft?- Yeah. - One of the finest

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Shakespearean actors this country ever produced?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- You saw Duckling Tuft in his prime. - He played Hamlet.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- He lost but he...- He became Sir Duckling Tuft.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20On the subject of the Champions League Final,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22did anyone notice what the Chelsea captain, John Terry, did

0:10:22 > 0:10:24after the final whistle?

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Yes. He got into his kit, didn't he? He celebrated with everyone else.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30He'd been suspended and he got into his kit. To be fair, he's used to

0:10:30 > 0:10:32getting changed very quickly.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Usually, when he hears a key in the front door.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- "Honey, I'm home."- Exactly.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42No, he took credit for something he hadn't done.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Many people thought John Terry was intruding on

0:10:45 > 0:10:46somebody else's great moment

0:10:46 > 0:10:48and some people on the internet did this.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:10:59 > 0:11:01On the subject of faked images,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04did anybody see the Romanian TV presenter

0:11:04 > 0:11:07who tried to fake a sandstorm?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09No!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11The man was reporting on a sandstorm,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13missed the sandstorm and here's what happened.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27LAUGHTER

0:11:31 > 0:11:33This is the G8 meeting of world leaders.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37The leaders watched Chelsea win the Championship League on television

0:11:37 > 0:11:40but there was outrage as the presentation of the trophy

0:11:40 > 0:11:43was spoiled by the unwelcome presence

0:11:43 > 0:11:45of an arrogant hate figure.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50LAUGHTER

0:11:50 > 0:11:53In a recent speech, the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, declared:

0:12:07 > 0:12:09That's what you need in a crisis.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12A mad Scotsman shouting, "We cannot take it any longer, captain!"

0:12:12 > 0:12:15LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Paul and Andy, take a look at this.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20All right. This is the Olympic Flame.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21The beginning of the Olympic Games.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25The plane's been dipped in a special bowl of Olympic custard.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- He's been to Ratners. - He's been to Ratners.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30This is the eternal flame that keeps going out.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I don't know if it's actually alight there or not.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35The Olympics are coming to London.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38They've kept it secret, but now we can actually tell people.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41That's a very festive attack by Al-Qaeda.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45How did the Olympic Flame arrive on British soil?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48It was flown in that plane, which Boris described as

0:12:48 > 0:12:50a custard-coloured comet,

0:12:50 > 0:12:53streaking through the sky to bring Promethean fire

0:12:53 > 0:12:56from the Greek homeland to London.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59You think I'm making it up. That's exactly what he said.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01It goes out a lot this flame.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- It does...- Then they take it back to the Mother Flame.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Every time it goes out, it's like they think we're all children.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10"Oh, there's this secret Mother Flame that we keep in the van."

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- They go and relight it. - It flew from Greece...

0:13:13 > 0:13:16The Mother Flame, isn't that the sun?

0:13:16 > 0:13:20They should erect a scaffold to the sun, that would be impressive.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23A long piece of folded newspaper, just to get a light of it.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26So it arrived in the golden plane, as you said,

0:13:26 > 0:13:30then on to Cornwall in a Sea King search and rescue helicopter.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Let's see how the waiting crowd enjoyed the historic moment

0:13:35 > 0:13:38when that helicopter arrived.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42REPORTER: It's arrival was perfectly choreographed and hard to miss.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46LAUGHTER

0:13:48 > 0:13:52What happened in Great Torrington on day three

0:13:52 > 0:13:55of the flame's 70-day journey?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58The flame was put out and they resorted to the Mother Flame

0:13:58 > 0:14:00that was being carried around in a van.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03That had also gone out so they had to go to the Grand Mother Flame,

0:14:03 > 0:14:07which is kept in a sealed unit in Switzerland.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11They do know that we have the secret of making fire in this country?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15We are capable of independently reigniting a torch that goes out.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Who has to import fire? Do we?- We will soon!

0:14:22 > 0:14:24The flame went out and the Games organisers blamed:

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I had one myself once.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34They put too many jalapenos in my enchiladas.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I needed that helicopter wind to blow the flame out.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46- What is the relay a chance to show the world?- That we are British.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yes. And we understand about fire.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Yeah, we understand the sacred flame of gorgeous goodness!

0:14:52 > 0:14:56It is a chance to showcase some of Britain's most beautiful landmarks.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58According to the Daily Mirror:

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Eh, er...Di-dier, uh...Drogba...

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Do you have any idea what any of these words mean?- Didier!

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Why doesn't he change his name?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13..carried the torch through Swindon town centre.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17And which unsung community hero carried the torch through Taunton?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Oh, I know that. - You know that? In Somerset.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23These torches were meant to be carried by local people

0:15:23 > 0:15:25to show the community spirit.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29And in Taunton it was Will.I.Am.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Doesn't he come from Taunton?- No!

0:15:31 > 0:15:37- Taunton, Ohio.- I would love it if he did come from Taunton.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas,

0:15:42 > 0:15:45here he is telling the BBC

0:15:45 > 0:15:49how important an experience it was to him.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53So, yeah, this is like... it feels like a dream.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Something that you always saw on TV growing up,

0:15:57 > 0:16:01so to be here today in the UK,

0:16:01 > 0:16:05with all the hard work it took me to get to this level,

0:16:05 > 0:16:07to be able to do that,

0:16:07 > 0:16:12following, pursuing my dreams, and, you know...

0:16:12 > 0:16:15and now I am here in the UK running the torch, it is great.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21That is essentially a tribute to himself.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24He said, "I grew up watching this as a kid."

0:16:24 > 0:16:26I never remember ever seeing the torch being run.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30It wasn't on every day, was it? Like Star Trek!

0:16:32 > 0:16:36You know, I watched that with my dinner on my lap every evening,

0:16:36 > 0:16:37but not...you know, I had a plate!

0:16:37 > 0:16:43- You weren't just throwing up? - No!- "Star Trek? Eurgh!"

0:16:46 > 0:16:49"Quick, chuck something at the screen!"

0:16:49 > 0:16:53What have some of the relay runners been criticised for doing?

0:16:53 > 0:16:58As soon as you've walked your five metres as part of the spectacle,

0:16:58 > 0:17:00you sell it on eBay.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03They've come in for criticism for selling the torches on eBay.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Making money out of the Olympics is thought

0:17:06 > 0:17:10to be absolutely against the spirit of the Games

0:17:10 > 0:17:15unless you're Visa, or Samsung, or Coca Cola, or McDonalds,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19or Lloyds TSB, Adidas, BP, British Airways,

0:17:19 > 0:17:22otherwise, it's a noble enterprise.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26You weren't paid for reading them all out, were you?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31I got a great deal of money for each one of those

0:17:31 > 0:17:33and in the next question I mention some more.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- What disappointments...?- Coca Cola!

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Now you're cut in.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Millets. Can I just say that? To see if I get some money from Millets.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Millets?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Aim higher than Millets, surely!

0:17:55 > 0:17:57What disappointments lay in store

0:17:57 > 0:18:00for torch-bearer Sarah Milner Simonds?

0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Was she lost in fog?- Lost in fog?! - Someone got lost in the fog.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10Yeah, they did. They got lost in the fog even though they were following someone with a flaming torch!

0:18:10 > 0:18:16- She thought she sold her torch... - And she didn't!- ..for £153,100,

0:18:16 > 0:18:20unfortunately this turned out to be a hoax. Ha-ha!

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Andrew Bell, who ran a leg of the journey in Cornwall,

0:18:24 > 0:18:26removed his eBay advertisement

0:18:26 > 0:18:28after messages of complaint were posted on the website

0:18:28 > 0:18:30but he explained:

0:18:46 > 0:18:49What caused confusion in Truro?

0:18:49 > 0:18:53They're Cornish, they'll always be confused in Truro.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I'm going to Truro on Sunday for a gig.- Are you? Good luck, Paul!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59No, I'm dissociating myself from everything you say.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02You told me to say that before we came on, you know that.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, crowds lining the streets in the Cornish town

0:19:08 > 0:19:11saw someone running down the high street and got ready to cheer

0:19:11 > 0:19:13as the torch-bearer came past.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16According to the Daily Mail, however:

0:19:28 > 0:19:31LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:19:35 > 0:19:39And what were the organisers of a roadside hog roast

0:19:39 > 0:19:42advised not to do?

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Don't roast a hog by the side of the road.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Partially.- Don't light the fire, cos it's against health and safety.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50You're on the right track.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Don't use the torch to roast the hog.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Ah, yes, because if you used the torch to roast the hog

0:19:57 > 0:20:00then the hog becomes the keeper of the eternal flame,

0:20:00 > 0:20:03then you have to march through the streets with the hog.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- The sacred hog!- The sacred hog that's alight. It would just look stupid! - It would look silly.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Organisers told the Independent:

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Meanwhile according to the Daily Telegraph,

0:20:22 > 0:20:24thousands of people lining the streets

0:20:24 > 0:20:26have given the relay a carnival feel. For example:

0:20:33 > 0:20:36You Brits really know how to put on a show(!)

0:20:39 > 0:20:41You wait until you see our opening ceremony!

0:20:43 > 0:20:48- There will be hundreds of chips. Dancing chips.- Six or seven cod.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Boris in a giant cod costume.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54This is the Olympic torch,

0:20:54 > 0:20:57which is boldly going where no Olympic torch has gone before.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59GROANS

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Namely... Yes, I agree with you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06Namely, Truro and Ilfraco-o-o-ombe.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09It sounds deeply sexual.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Kind of like a cigar advert.- Have you been to Ilfracombe?- I have.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17The place is laced with prostitution.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23That's their new slogan now!

0:21:25 > 0:21:27"Come and get laid in Ilfracombe!"

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Chelsea hero... Here we go again!

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Didier...!- Yes!

0:21:37 > 0:21:39CHEERING

0:21:39 > 0:21:41..Drogbleurgh!

0:21:43 > 0:21:45..carried the torch through Swindon,

0:21:45 > 0:21:50although there was one awkward moment when John Terry stripped off

0:21:50 > 0:21:52and ran alongside him.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58Will.I.Am carried the torch through Taunton

0:21:58 > 0:21:59and thousands lined the streets

0:21:59 > 0:22:01to witness this once-in-a-lifetime sight.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Oh, my God, a black guy in the West Country.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10That's not racist, I'm the guy who kissed Uhura.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16You kissed green women, you kissed, sort of, silver women...

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I discriminate not in colour.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22How did you know they had all the right anatomical...?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25It doesn't matter when you're kissing.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26OK.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Is there any life form you wouldn't kiss?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33No, to give it life, I would kiss at anything.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- The breath of life, from me... - Indeed.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- ..to them. - You bring people back to life?!

0:22:41 > 0:22:43He's not doing bad with this show, to be honest!

0:22:43 > 0:22:47- Now we're in round two. Yes! - CHEERING

0:22:47 > 0:22:52And I'm going to give you musical clues.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55This is from my latest album, which I take it you've heard.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:58 > 0:23:02OK, see, I appeal to the masses, not to the intelligentsia.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06OK, here we go.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08"ROCKET MAN" BACKING TRACK PLAYS

0:23:08 > 0:23:11And I think it's going to be a long, long time

0:23:13 > 0:23:18Till touch down brings me round again to find

0:23:18 > 0:23:23That I'm not the man they thought I am...at home.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Oh, no, no, no, no

0:23:29 > 0:23:31I'm a rocket man.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Anybody?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Anybody got an idea?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47I'm just overwhelmed by this!

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Is everyone experiencing this, or is it just happening in my head?

0:23:52 > 0:23:55There is a rocket, which is a commercial rocket

0:23:55 > 0:23:59that's been launched, and on it are the remains of your co-star.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Yes, it is.- I read that in the Telegraph, and thought,

0:24:02 > 0:24:05how fitting and appropriate, Scotty's ashes going to space.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07And I turned the page and there was a report

0:24:07 > 0:24:10that the man who invented the TV remote control had died.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I thought, what they should do with his ashes

0:24:13 > 0:24:16is put them somewhere where you can never find them.

0:24:18 > 0:24:23Or with lots of urns, that look very similar.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25"Actually, that urn."

0:24:28 > 0:24:30This is the news

0:24:30 > 0:24:32that an exciting new era of commercial space travel has begun

0:24:32 > 0:24:34with the successful launch of the Dragon.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Shall we have a look at how this thrilling new dawn began?

0:24:38 > 0:24:44Five, four, three, two, one, zero...

0:24:44 > 0:24:47and liftoff.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51We have a cutout.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Liftoff did not occur.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56A spokesman for SpaceX told reporters:

0:25:00 > 0:25:04I don't know, it's not rocket science!

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- What was the problem blamed on? - Romulans.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12It was expecting the universe to rush towards us.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15They were computer problems based on gremlins.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19The launch heralded a new era of privately-funded space travel.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20According to The Times,

0:25:20 > 0:25:23when a spokesman was asked:

0:25:26 > 0:25:28He replied:

0:25:32 > 0:25:38This is a major breakthrough in commercial space travel.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40According to The Times:

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Which explains why the jet thrust

0:25:46 > 0:25:49looked suspiciously like Olympic torches.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52According to The Independent,

0:25:52 > 0:25:56the space capsule will carry 1,000 lbs of cargo...

0:25:59 > 0:26:01And if none of the astronauts are in

0:26:01 > 0:26:04then they will leave a card telling them to pick it up,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07between eight and eleven, from their nearest asteroid.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12OK, another musical clue for you.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Oh, Canada

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I stand on guard for thee

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Oh, Canada

0:26:22 > 0:26:28We stand on guard...for...thee.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Are you reminded of any Canada-related news stories?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Have there ever been any Canada-related news stories?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47That old joke about Dean Martin, who saw a sign that said,

0:26:47 > 0:26:50"Drink Canada Dry", so he went there and did.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52You probably remember that first time around!

0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Yes, I remember that! That was page three on the joke book.- Yes!

0:26:56 > 0:27:00Did anyone get eaten by bears? That's quite a common story in Canada.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03That's a common story in Canada.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06- And, uh...maple syrup.- Yeah.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14This is the news that a nude painting

0:27:14 > 0:27:18of the Prime Minister of Canada has been sold.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Here it is. It's entitled Emperor Haute Couture.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Yes. I must say the painting looks well hung.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Has that dog been fed?

0:27:31 > 0:27:33I'd be nervous.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37The artist must be ecstatic about the sale.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Anyone like to hazard a guess as to her facial expression

0:27:41 > 0:27:42on hearing the news?

0:27:42 > 0:27:47Deep surprise, mixed with nostalgic longing for the 1950s.

0:27:51 > 0:27:57Uh, wh...?! Anybody else with a... with an equally important answer?

0:27:57 > 0:28:00This could be a new show, couldn't it -

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Guess The Facial Expression!- Yeah. - Let's have a look.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07She's overjoyed.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11In other art-related news,

0:28:11 > 0:28:15what can you see at a new art exhibition in London?

0:28:15 > 0:28:19There's an invisible pillar. The artwork is not there.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- To make you think what MIGHT be. - Why is it not here?

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- In a sense, it IS here.- Hmm.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25ANDY: I can see it.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29But you're on special medication.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31The Hayward Gallery is gathering together

0:28:31 > 0:28:3450 invisible works by famous artists for display.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Shall we have a look at a couple?

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Ah, yes, well, these are twin pieces.

0:28:38 > 0:28:43The first one is A White Persian Cat In Snowstorm.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45The other one is...

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Lib Dem Manifesto.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:28:52 > 0:28:56This is the naked painting of Canadian premier, Stephen Harper.

0:28:56 > 0:28:57According to BBC News...

0:29:01 > 0:29:04So have I, but that's none of your business.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06The painting of the Prime Minister's naked penis can be

0:29:06 > 0:29:09seen on a wall in a public library,

0:29:09 > 0:29:13hanging between two Pollocks.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22- It's good, it's an art joke! - That's Jackson to you.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Meanwhile, in London...

0:29:26 > 0:29:28a new exhibition of invisible artworks

0:29:28 > 0:29:30will open to the public in June.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32According to The Times...

0:29:34 > 0:29:38So the one thing they can see...

0:29:38 > 0:29:39is you coming.

0:29:41 > 0:29:46A final musical clue for you now.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49MUSIC: "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols

0:29:52 > 0:29:55God save the Queen

0:29:55 > 0:29:57The fascist regime

0:29:58 > 0:30:00They made you a moron

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Potential H-bomb.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Anybody got any ideas?

0:30:06 > 0:30:10Other than throwing me out!

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Is it the Rite Of Spring by Stravinsky?

0:30:16 > 0:30:21- I preferred that to the original. I like your Common People.- Oh, thanks!

0:30:21 > 0:30:22APPLAUSE

0:30:22 > 0:30:26It's a serious fan club up there! Are you from Canada?

0:30:26 > 0:30:30WHOOPING AND CHEERING

0:30:30 > 0:30:32It's all beginning to make sense.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35When Charlie said, "I like your Common People," for an awful moment,

0:30:35 > 0:30:37I thought that meant you kept slaves.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Well, this is news that three pensioners were evicted from

0:30:42 > 0:30:47a royal-themed tearoom for refusing to stand up

0:30:47 > 0:30:48- during the National Anthem. - Oh, yes.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Who owns the tearoom? - A mad lady.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53It's Anita Atkinson,

0:30:53 > 0:30:57whose personal views on the monarchy are a little unclear.

0:31:00 > 0:31:023pm every day...

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Oh, that's nice and respectful(!)

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Is there anything else about the tearoom that the ejected

0:31:14 > 0:31:17pensioneers disliked, apart from the National...

0:31:17 > 0:31:19"Pensioneers"? That's a good word.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23- That makes them sound more get up and go.- There's four of them...

0:31:25 > 0:31:30- But it has such a common sound.- No, I love it.- And you want pensioneers!

0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Like pioneers.- Pioneers, exactly.

0:31:32 > 0:31:37- People who go out and get those... - And rest.- ..winter fuel allowances.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40And say, "One for all and all for...

0:31:40 > 0:31:43"Sorry, I've forgotten what I came in here for."

0:31:44 > 0:31:48You people are messed up!

0:31:48 > 0:31:51And I say that coming from a country that brought you

0:31:51 > 0:31:54the sandwich in a can and a TV channel for dogs.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00The tearoom also contains a huge collection of royal memorabilia.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Any guesses as to what?

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Surely the Queen has the largest collection of royal memorabilia.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- In her wardrobe! - Is it Princess Margaret?

0:32:11 > 0:32:12According to the BBC...

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- That's not respectful, is it?- No.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26The model of Kate Middleton was very similar to the real thing,

0:32:26 > 0:32:29as when she turned sideways, you can't see her.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33Time now for the odd one out round. Ready?

0:32:33 > 0:32:34Joaquin Phoenix.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Staines.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38A boat called Bin Laden 1.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40And tiger bread.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42- BUZZER - Ian and Charlie?

0:32:42 > 0:32:46Staines has recently changed its name

0:32:46 > 0:32:49in order to appear more upmarket.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52- So it's called itself Staines-upon-Thames.- Yes.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56Which is marginally better than Staines-upon-Trousers.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01And tiger bread, that changed its name

0:33:01 > 0:33:05because a child wrote to the supermarket.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09As if children can now decide what foodstuffs are called.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12If I had written to a supermarket when I was six years old,

0:33:12 > 0:33:15I would have said, can we call beans fart pills?

0:33:18 > 0:33:22- What about his name?- Joaquin. - Joaquin Phoenix. He's changed his name.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25Yes, he was something like Leaf or something like that before.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28There was River Phoenix, the kids had names like Leaf and Tree...

0:33:28 > 0:33:31I don't know the rules of this game, but isn't it their four?

0:33:31 > 0:33:33Well, you know, it's about, sort of,

0:33:33 > 0:33:37although they are an opposing team, I feel there's a spirit of humanity

0:33:37 > 0:33:39that we can make friends. Was there any sort of television series

0:33:39 > 0:33:42you were in that gave across that idea that civilisations...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45It's a competition! You should be at each other's throats!

0:33:45 > 0:33:48ANDY: We're under attack, Cap'n!

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- Wait, wait, coordinate, let's go this way.- That's it.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57That's it, that's it.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Well, you're right, guys.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02They've all changed their names, apart from

0:34:02 > 0:34:04the Bin Laden boat, although it will be required to,

0:34:04 > 0:34:08because the authorities think it's a security risk.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09But it hasn't yet?

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Laurence Godfrey, who owns the boat,

0:34:11 > 0:34:13said his son Dylan wanted a silly name.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16He heard the name Bin Laden on TV and thought it was funny.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20They honestly think that's a security risk?

0:34:20 > 0:34:22If they changed its name to the Exploding Death Boat...

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Joaquin Phoenix's family name was changed back in 1978.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Would anyone like to hazard a guess

0:34:29 > 0:34:32as to what Joaquin Phoenix's name was?

0:34:32 > 0:34:33Derek.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37Bottom!

0:34:37 > 0:34:40CHARLIE: Joaquin Bottom!

0:34:40 > 0:34:44- You can see why you'd change that! - That's the brother of River Phoenix.
