0:00:25 > 0:00:28APPLAUSE

0:00:39 > 0:00:42A good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm Brian Blessed!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Yes, it's me.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- LAUGHS - I'm back again.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Now, in the news this week, as Silvio Berlusconi

0:00:51 > 0:00:53celebrates his latest election result,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57his campaign team call off the hunt for his missing mistress.

0:01:03 > 0:01:09And...Richard Hammond arrives at A&E having driven an open-top car

0:01:09 > 0:01:10under a low bridge.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18And there's delight for Eric Pickles as his new toasting fork

0:01:18 > 0:01:19is finally delivered!

0:01:24 > 0:01:28On Ian's team tonight, a left-wing politician who believes

0:01:28 > 0:01:31the state should pay for everything...

0:01:31 > 0:01:33except a ceremonial funeral.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Please welcome the fantastic Ken Livingstone.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41APPLAUSE

0:01:43 > 0:01:46And with Paul tonight is a comedian

0:01:46 > 0:01:51who, in a previous job, worked as a greetings card packer in a factory.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54On her last day, she was given hundreds of leaving cards

0:01:54 > 0:01:58and told to pop them in the delivery van on her way out.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03Please welcome the wonderful, gorgeous Bridget Christie.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06APPLAUSE

0:02:10 > 0:02:14And we start with the biggest stories of the week.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Ian and Ken, take a look at this.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19There she is, swinging away.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21It's an old lady who's died this week.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Any thoughts, Ken?

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Oh, look, she's burying you.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Oh, there we are - switching Britain on.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Well, you know, it's amazing, I haven't had an invite to the funeral yet,

0:02:35 > 0:02:36so I haven't been able to decline it.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Would you go?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42No, no. It would be a tad hypocritical.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Given she abolished me,

0:02:43 > 0:02:47I don't think she'd expect me to turn up at her funeral.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50She's died, and the BBC has been accused of bias.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54So luckily, tonight, it's rectified it by inviting Ken Livingstone on.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Wednesday saw tributes in Parliament.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Anyone catch what Norman Lamont had to say?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- No. What did he have to say?- Well...

0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Don't you know, Paul? - No, I don't.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Me and Norman fell out some time ago.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10He said...

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- What great judgement she had.- Yes.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20There was a succession of rather wet elderly men

0:03:20 > 0:03:24appearing on the telly saying, "She was awfully rude to us, you know?

0:03:24 > 0:03:25"And really horrid to Jeffrey."

0:03:25 > 0:03:27When you say, "Wet elderly men,"

0:03:27 > 0:03:30have they just been fished from the Thames for their...?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32And there are some very elderly posh ones going,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34"God, I mean, she was a woman...

0:03:36 > 0:03:40"Rather vulgar - probably middle class. Ghastly. Ghastly.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41"And a woman."

0:03:41 > 0:03:43There's been a lot of talk this week about the fact

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- that she WAS a WOMAN.- Yes.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48But, I mean, I knew all along.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53She was sort of beyond gender, in a way.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54She had such conviction

0:03:54 > 0:03:58and such amazing confidence in herself

0:03:58 > 0:04:02that I think that whatever she'd been born,

0:04:02 > 0:04:04she wouldn't have thought that that was a hindrance.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Even if she'd been born a man...

0:04:07 > 0:04:11or a goat, it wouldn't have stopped her.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15- You think she'd have been Britain's first goat Prime Minister? - Well, she would have been!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18And now we'd all be saying, "Against all odds, at a time

0:04:18 > 0:04:20"when it was inconceivable that a goat

0:04:20 > 0:04:23"would have been elected as a Member of Parliament..."

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I hardly think she'd have been against the Nanny State, though.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30APPLAUSE

0:04:32 > 0:04:34What did John Gummer have to say?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Nothing interesting.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38He said...

0:04:46 > 0:04:48What? Walking and picking up things?

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Are you familiar with Harry Styles? He sent a Twitter message saying...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58And these were the responses from his fans.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10I've only just read this. This is shite!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Did you also see the misunderstanding

0:05:13 > 0:05:15over a Twitter conversation called...

0:05:16 > 0:05:18BRIDGET: Oh, yes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Which upset fans of the popular singer Cher, who thought she'd died.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26"Now that Cher's dead."

0:05:29 > 0:05:32There were some errors on mainstream television also.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Did you see how the BBC announced the news?

0:05:35 > 0:05:36Yes, can we see it again?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Sorry to interrupt you there, just cos there's one more line,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43just as you were reading that, which has just come in from Lord Bell.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45He's been quoted saying,

0:05:45 > 0:05:48"It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced

0:05:48 > 0:05:52"that their mother, Baroness Thatcher, died peacefully

0:05:52 > 0:05:54"following a strike this morning."

0:06:01 > 0:06:06And Thailand's Channel 5 showed a photo of Meryl Streep instead.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Here's another question.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Why weren't Thatcher's children there at the end?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Perhaps Mark was still on the run? - Yes, that's...

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Actually, I was on paper review with Carol Thatcher

0:06:20 > 0:06:22the day it was revealed in the papers

0:06:22 > 0:06:24that Mark Thatcher was a multi-millionaire.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26And she said, "I don't see how that can be.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28"He's never done a day's work in his life."

0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's true. Keep it in.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36That's all the lawyer needs to hear.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39"That's true. Keep it in." That's what we should do.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- It's in my autobiography and he hasn't sued.- But no-one's read that.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49- You're in it.- Am I?- Yeah. - Blimey.- Private Eye is.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's when you said I had a secret Swiss bank account

0:06:52 > 0:06:54into which Gaddafi put 250,000.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Did we get the figure wrong?- No...

0:06:59 > 0:07:01APPLAUSE

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, I have to say they were abroad.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06What did Maggie once say about her son?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Did she only say something once about him?

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Well, she said...

0:07:15 > 0:07:17But mainly just arms to nasty...

0:07:19 > 0:07:21APPLAUSE

0:07:22 > 0:07:27Now, how did the BBC expose their own lefty tendencies

0:07:27 > 0:07:30and their utter contempt for Thatcher's memory?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33They interviewed her enemies, who said unpleasant things about her,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35and then they interviewed her friends,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37most of whom also said unpleasant things about her.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41And now the BBC interviewed Gerry Adams. What did he say?

0:07:41 > 0:07:46Didn't he go on about how she supported a whole list of things

0:07:46 > 0:07:48he didn't approve of, basically?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, he said...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Although not as much as all those bombs, eh, Gerry?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00All right, Gerry, any time, you pillock!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Straight between your gizzard!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08I thought we politically moved on from issuing threats

0:08:08 > 0:08:11to former members of the IRA.

0:08:11 > 0:08:16The BBC also interviewed Maggie's biggest fan and disciple,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Tony Blair. Did you see his tribute? He said...

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Well, he certainly changed the landscape of Baghdad.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm sorry, Tony. He had a heart operation.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- He had one put in? - Did he have one put in?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43APPLAUSE

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Now, Lord Howe of Aberavon was asked...

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- I'm not going to say that again. - Yeah, go on.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49HE SPLUTTERS

0:08:49 > 0:08:52It sounds like you're drowning in a bath.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56..was asked by Sky for his thoughts on his time in Thatcher's Cabinet

0:08:56 > 0:08:57and he said...

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Well, yes, that's the idea when someone dies, Geoffrey.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06A bit of reminiscing about old stuff.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- HE SHOUTS:- Come on, shape up!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I think you were on safer ground attacking Geoffrey Howe

0:09:12 > 0:09:14than you were with Gerry Adams.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Did you hear about Julian Styles?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- According to the Mirror...- Yeah.

0:09:33 > 0:09:3630 years...without a job.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Pull your finger out, Julian, you lazy bastard!

0:09:40 > 0:09:41LAUGHTER

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'll kill you, you bastard!

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Let's abandon this show. Brian says, "Who wants a fight?"

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Line up in alphabetical order - Adams, you're first.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- The celebrations... - There has been...- Speak.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05There has been lunacy on both sides.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09The more conservative press has got very overexcited,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12and there are plans to rename London "Thatcher".

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Did you know that?- Port Stanley, I think.- And the statue.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Do you want her on the fourth plinth?

0:10:20 > 0:10:21When I became Mayor, I was told,

0:10:21 > 0:10:24because they were going, "What are you going to do with it?"

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I said, "It's reserved for Her Majesty when she dies."

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'm not supposed to say that. They said, "You can't tell anyone."

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Rather than put the Queen up there, we should have a statue,

0:10:33 > 0:10:35rather than actually put her up there.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37That would be a bit grisly.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39That's why they had all those temporary things.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41They put her up there,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43there'll be endless demos, people trying to pull it down.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46It will be just like the Saddam Hussein thing -

0:10:46 > 0:10:48people pulling it down with ropes.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Well, that and a ring of steel of Daily Mail readers, guarding the flame.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56The celebrations of Thatcher's death

0:10:56 > 0:10:59have been criticised by all sides, including Tony Blair.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Blair said this...

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Although philosophically speaking, he'd be dead.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14LAUGHTER

0:11:14 > 0:11:18He believes in an afterlife. He'll be looking down on the celebrations.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Or looking up.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24APPLAUSE

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Margaret Thatcher is to have a ceremonial funeral.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- What's it going to cost? - 10 million.- Absolutely right.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Between 10 million and 40 million.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I mean, I don't understand this!

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Look, when I was a kid...- Yeah, yeah.- ..I used to make coffins.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42I left school at 14, love. I made hundreds of coffins.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I could do it cheaply. Only cost 25 quid.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47In those days, even though they weren't dead,

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- you punched them into the coffin, "Get down there!"- Well...

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Brian has just offered to do the whole thing for 25 quid...

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- For 25 quid.- ..which has got to be the lowest bid.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57I think it's out to tender, give it to Brian.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01The BBC News produced an artist's impression

0:12:01 > 0:12:03of what the funeral might look like.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08It's a bit like Reservoir Dogs.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11LAUGHTER

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- I mean, I was up for that movie, you know?- Were you?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Marvellous barker. - HE BARKS AND HOWLS

0:12:16 > 0:12:20- I'd have been marvellous. - What's your reservoir like?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24All the retrospectives of Thatcher's reign

0:12:24 > 0:12:25have brought back some memories.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do you recall what the eminent Dr Jonathan Miller

0:12:28 > 0:12:29said about Thatcher?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's good that Jonathan Miller reminds us occasionally

0:12:39 > 0:12:42of what a twat he is.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Line 'em up.- Line 'em up!

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Who wants to see... This is good.- Mm.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52..to see Margaret Thatcher's reaction

0:12:52 > 0:12:57when a Swedish TV presenter asks her to do a little jump in the air?

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Here we are.- I'd love to see it! - Here we go.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's kind of a gimmick on my show

0:13:01 > 0:13:03and it's to make a jump.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05I shouldn't dream of doing that.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Why should I?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Well... - I see no significance whatsoever

0:13:09 > 0:13:11of making a jump up in the air.

0:13:11 > 0:13:16I make great leaps forward, not little jumps in studios.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Nice to know other countries' telly's as crap as ours, isn't it?

0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Am I on that?- Yes, you're on this now.- I don't know what you're on!

0:13:27 > 0:13:29LAUGHTER

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yes, this is the solemn news

0:13:32 > 0:13:36that one of our greatest peacetime Prime Ministers has died.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38But don't worry,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- HE SHOUTS:- Gordon's alive!

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Yeah! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Jeffrey Archer paid tribute to Lady Thatcher, saying...

0:13:55 > 0:14:00Jeffrey Archer, not just a terrible writer but also a terrible writer.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Lord Saatchi joined in the tributes, saying...

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Has he not read the papers?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Lady Thatcher's funeral will be held in central London next Wednesday.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24It will be a full ceremonial occasion with military honours.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27But at her own request, there'll be no fly past.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Although the Argentinean Air Force did offer.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Paul and Bridget, my sugar lumps. - Yes.- Take a look at this.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Another one of the feel-good stories of the week(!)

0:14:41 > 0:14:44This is a man who's extremely dangerous.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Getting hopscotch very wrong. - Absolutely.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50There he is being applauded, and everybody laughing and clapping,

0:14:50 > 0:14:51cos he's fantastic.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56He's conducting his own symphony, which he's written inside a tank.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00So, you managed to have someone on who makes Mrs Thatcher look rational and human.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03That's why YOU'RE here.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06LAUGHTER

0:15:08 > 0:15:11But those missiles that went up in the air and then fell down again

0:15:11 > 0:15:13and looked like they were made of Lego...

0:15:13 > 0:15:15The American ones did at the beginning.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17The really scary bit is when they get it right.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, you've reassured me, Ken!

0:15:19 > 0:15:22This North Korea is going to send up a couple of rockets,

0:15:22 > 0:15:26and they'll go backwards and go round and round like the ouzel bird

0:15:26 > 0:15:29and disappear up his arse.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Now, let's see how Jeremy Paxman

0:15:31 > 0:15:36introduced this major international story on Newsnight.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39There have, mercifully, been no hostilities yet,

0:15:39 > 0:15:42and the natural response to the spectacle of a fat little man

0:15:42 > 0:15:47in an absurd boiler suit issuing such threats is perhaps to laugh.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50LAUGHTER

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Now, since North Korea has ratcheted up the tension,

0:15:55 > 0:15:59what's happened to South Korea's Sunshine Policy? Ian?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02What, an attempt at rapprochement with the North?

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Well, it's not gone awfully well

0:16:03 > 0:16:05when they're threatening to annihilate you.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, it says here the Sunshine Policy was an attempt

0:16:08 > 0:16:11to try and engage more positively with its neighbour.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Both countries jointly run a group of factories near the border

0:16:15 > 0:16:17called the Kaesong Industrial Complex.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Doesn't that sound a lovely place?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Yeah.- But now North Korea have withdrawn its workforce.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27Also, South Korea's Minister of Unification, Ryoo Ki Ji Jang,

0:16:27 > 0:16:31confirmed reports in South Korea's Joong Tang Ali Dang newspaper,

0:16:31 > 0:16:33that there were signs of suspicious activity

0:16:33 > 0:16:35at the Punggye site in North Korea,

0:16:35 > 0:16:39although North Korea official, Kim Yang Gong Bang,

0:16:39 > 0:16:42claimed South Korea were just warmongering.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47And then Ryoo Kio-jae changed his mind, denied the newspaper reports

0:16:47 > 0:16:50and said he couldn't remember saying anything about it.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- So, why the- BLEEP- have I bothered to read all that out?

0:16:53 > 0:16:54LAUGHTER

0:17:00 > 0:17:02What a load of bollocks!

0:17:05 > 0:17:07And now let's see what this says.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I'm not being too EYEBROW, am I? - No, not too highbrow, no.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Too eyebrow?!

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Is that an acting term? - It is an acting term.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Bridget, you know a lot about weaponry, don't you?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- I'm told you can fire a musket. - I can.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Or is that some sort of double entendre?- No, it's not.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- I can fire a musket.- Can you? - Without singeing my eyebrows.- Really?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33It takes a long time, and muskets are really long and heavy.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35But I actually had a...

0:17:35 > 0:17:39I'm ashamed of this, because I'm a feminist,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I had a man hold the end of it for me.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Are we still talking about a gun?

0:17:45 > 0:17:49The Sun provided a helpful Q&A by North Korea expert

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Aidan Foster-Carter, who answered such questions as...

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Now, who wants to see just how popular Kim Jong-un is

0:18:08 > 0:18:10with his army?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Let's have a look at what happened

0:18:11 > 0:18:15when he arrives by boat for a visit to an army base.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Marvellous. I mean, it's like a bad rehearsal of Cats.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36- Who wants to see the North Korean embassy in London?- Yes, please.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's not quite as grand as you might expect.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43It's a semi-detached house in Ealing where, according to neighbours...

0:18:46 > 0:18:50It's a seven-bedroom property, so if nothing else, North Korea

0:18:50 > 0:18:53now owes us 98 quid a week in bedroom tax.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Now, then, the question is, what sort of activity

0:18:57 > 0:18:58has been going on there?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- There's been a big removals van parked there...- Yes!

0:19:01 > 0:19:05KEN: Oh, they're leaving, yes, just in case we had a war.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Somebody's moving out. Apparently, it's a new secretary's moved in or something.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- You're right, Bridget.- Are they trying to scare us by saying,

0:19:11 > 0:19:15"We're moving out, Ealing is the big target"?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17A removal van has been spotted outside the embassy,

0:19:17 > 0:19:21although with North Korea being such a secretive state,

0:19:21 > 0:19:23they were quite discreet about it.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25That's what they call a KOREA move.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27GROANING

0:19:27 > 0:19:29A KOREA move!

0:19:32 > 0:19:33HE LAUGHS

0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Oh, shit, shit!- What have you done?

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Ah, shit, I've got cramp in my right leg. Come here.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Do you want somebody to massage it for you?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I mean, on that side...

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Ken, pull the foot over.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Pull his leg.- No, pull it... - Pull the leg.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50That's it!

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Most useful thing I've done in years!

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Oh, I've pulled me bloody mike out.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, Christ! It's going, it's going...

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Is it coming back? - Is he coming back?!

0:20:04 > 0:20:07What have US soldiers been doing which involves Camp Stanley?

0:20:07 > 0:20:11They're practising anti-chemical warfare techniques.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- HE BELCHES - I've got terrible wind.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15LAUGHTER

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Wind, cramp. You're not falling to bits, are you, Brian?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Are you sure this isn't chemical warfare?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'll be all right.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Ken, pull his foot, quick!

0:20:29 > 0:20:33If somebody kills Brian, the list of suspects is going to be enormous.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36LAUGHTER

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- How are you doing? - I'll be all right.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50HE EMITS A TARZAN-LIKE CALL

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I feel much better. Much better. I feel much better.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54And that's why we shouldn't cut benefits.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Some experts believe we can predict the next move of North Korea

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- because they've got a thing about the number nine.- Yes.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04- Now, what is it? - It's a lucky number.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07It has a great significance in their culture.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- That's right. Now, nine is regarded as a very lucky number.- Yeah.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13The first nuclear test took place October 9, 2006.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15That's my birthday.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Second was on 5th of April, 2009, and that's significant,

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- according to the magazine... - HE COUGHS

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- ..Business Insider, because... - Sorry, what was the... Did you...?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26What was the first word?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Now, it says here, 5 + 4 = 9...- Yeah.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- ..and the 9 of 2009.- Yeah.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Now, the next nuclear test was on 12th of December, 2012...- Yeah.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39..and therefore, 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1...

0:21:39 > 0:21:42+ 2 of 2012 = 9.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Yeah.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46LAUGHTER

0:21:46 > 0:21:49And the North Koreans announced they couldn't protect foreign diplomats

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- after Wednesday of this week, which was...- The 9th.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54..April the 10th!

0:21:57 > 0:22:00We're dealing with lunatics!

0:22:01 > 0:22:05This is the deranged, power-crazed dictator...

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Hey, hang on a minute.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Haven't we done with her?

0:22:10 > 0:22:14I'm getting it wrong, no. This is Kim Jong-un

0:22:14 > 0:22:17and his desire to make his own mark on the world

0:22:17 > 0:22:20in the shape of a bloody great crater.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24And here's a recent picture of Kim Jong-un...

0:22:24 > 0:22:27applying for the manager's job at Sunderland.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Tensions were further escalated this week

0:22:32 > 0:22:35when North Korea warned that they would restart their nuclear reactor

0:22:35 > 0:22:37with the chilling words,

0:22:37 > 0:22:41"OK, boys, start pedalling."

0:22:41 > 0:22:43At the end of that round...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46That's the first round, by the way.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49APPLAUSE

0:22:49 > 0:22:51So...

0:22:54 > 0:22:55The idea seems to be

0:22:55 > 0:22:59to commemorate Margaret Thatcher's term in power in real time.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03So only 11 and a half years to go!

0:23:04 > 0:23:09And so at the end of that round, it's two points each.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12APPLAUSE

0:23:12 > 0:23:14INAUDIBLE

0:23:17 > 0:23:21And so on to Round Two and a new game that I'm calling

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Have I Got Noise For You.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Along with a picture clue, I'm going to make a noise...

0:23:29 > 0:23:30HE LAUGHS

0:23:30 > 0:23:33..which should tell you what the story's about.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35So we start with...

0:23:35 > 0:23:38BRIAN SINGS OPERATIC LOVE SONG

0:23:38 > 0:23:39HE WHISTLES

0:23:39 > 0:23:41HE HUMS MELODY

0:23:41 > 0:23:42HE WHISTLES

0:23:42 > 0:23:44HE IMITATES STATIC

0:23:44 > 0:23:47# Lady in red. #

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Now, what are those?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50LAUGHTER

0:23:50 > 0:23:53KEN: I think the pandas have started having sex,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56but I don't think they make that much noise about it.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00They don't really get very, sort of, you know...horny.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- No.- It takes a lot to get them going.- Yeah.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Do you know you came top in a poll of the sexiest bearded men?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Did I really? - Yeah, I heard about it somewhere.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I mean, you were only running against Osama bin Laden.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16APPLAUSE

0:24:16 > 0:24:22This is the news that Yang Guang, Edinburgh Zoo's male panda,

0:24:22 > 0:24:26has had his radio switched from Classic FM to Smooth Radio

0:24:26 > 0:24:28to help get him in the mood to mate.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- You didn't say that, did you? - No, we didn't, no.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32LAUGHTER

0:24:32 > 0:24:34What sort of music do pandas find sexy?

0:24:34 > 0:24:39Well, I would have thought... sort of reggae, early ska.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Is it dubstep? - I don't know what that is.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46London grime?

0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well, according to the Independent, he now enjoys:

0:24:53 > 0:24:55How else have keepers tried

0:24:55 > 0:24:59to get Yang Guang ready to make love to his partner, Tian Tian?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Haven't they given them a special diet?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04No, it's this.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12That's amazing. Me and the wife do it exactly the same, every day.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15She's going to kill me for that!

0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21What, you get pandas' urine...?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23They keep it in the fridge.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Oh, right.- It's a big turn-on, love.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's been dabbed around Yang Guang's enclosure.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31It's amazing, isn't it?

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Can't you go down there, Brian, and take matters into your own hands?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37I think so.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39I mean, I've had yetis.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44How abominable was he?

0:25:44 > 0:25:48What have gorillas been in the news for this week?

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Two children...

0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Two children.- ..were standing in front of their enclosure with bananas,

0:25:54 > 0:25:59and the gorilla went nuts, rightly so,

0:25:59 > 0:26:01and was banging on the glass and...

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Brilliant, brilliant, Bridget, you've got it.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08A gorilla called Motaba has been indulging in a bit of what is

0:26:08 > 0:26:10popularly called photo-bombing.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Here he is.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15LAUGHTER

0:26:18 > 0:26:21This is the news that Edinburgh Zoo's pandas

0:26:21 > 0:26:23may be about to mate.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24According to the Telegraph,

0:26:24 > 0:26:28if the mating doesn't take place, the zoo will attempt...

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- He's not the president of North Korea, is he?- No. Not at the moment.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38- No, I'm getting mixed up.- Yeah.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42I mean, that's a traumatising experience for both a panda

0:26:42 > 0:26:44and the work experience boy.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50And here's your next noise clue. Here we go.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Ka-ching!

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Boo!

0:26:54 > 0:26:56LAUGHTER

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- This is the banker. - BRIDGET: Yes, Jim, James...

0:26:59 > 0:27:00- Crosby.- Crosby.- Yep.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03So there were three bankers who were finally in HBOS,

0:27:03 > 0:27:07which is Halifax-Bank of Scotland, which collapsed spectacularly

0:27:07 > 0:27:09and had to be bailed out by the taxpayer,

0:27:09 > 0:27:11and the three people in charge have finally,

0:27:11 > 0:27:13after all these years, been found guilty,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15and the Parliamentary Standards Committee

0:27:15 > 0:27:17were incredibly cross with them,

0:27:17 > 0:27:20and a banker has offered to give his knighthood back.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Gosh, you're a mine of information! - If he was a mine of information,

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Margaret Thatcher would have closed him down years ago.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27LAUGHTER

0:27:27 > 0:27:30APPLAUSE

0:27:30 > 0:27:31Well, this...

0:27:31 > 0:27:33What was interesting about this man, James Crosby,

0:27:33 > 0:27:35is, as well as being in charge of HBOS,

0:27:35 > 0:27:38he was deputy chairman of the Financial Services Authority,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41which was meant to look into scandals in the City, and, amazingly,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43he didn't see his own.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Why are we saying that that's a great thing for him to do?

0:27:46 > 0:27:49It doesn't really seem... I mean, are titles very important?

0:27:49 > 0:27:52KEN: John Lennon returned his gong, didn't he, so it's a good precedent.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55BRIDGET: Yeah, and I lost my title when I got married,

0:27:55 > 0:27:56it didn't bother me at all.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- What were you?- Miss.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Ceausescu was stripped of his knighthood

0:28:02 > 0:28:04the day before he was executed.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06For mass murder.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yes, but he must have been thinking,

0:28:08 > 0:28:11"Oh, God, the knighthood's gone. Oh, well, tomorrow's another day."

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Why does he want to be stripped? You've answered that.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20He's been roundly panned by everyone for destroying HBOS.

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Paxman called him:

0:28:25 > 0:28:28The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards

0:28:28 > 0:28:29described him as:

0:28:33 > 0:28:37And worst of all, he's been widely labelled:

0:28:39 > 0:28:42That's a title you'd like to lose, isn't it?

0:28:42 > 0:28:46Ian, as well as his knighthood, what's Sir James kindly giving back?

0:28:46 > 0:28:47He's giving back some of his pension.

0:28:47 > 0:28:5125% of his pension, so he's got to get by on 400 grand a year.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53God knows how he'll manage.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55It's tough, isn't it, Ken?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57You tried.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04Well, me ducks, he's kindly giving back 30% of his annual

0:29:04 > 0:29:06pension every year until he dies.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Though that still leaves him taking 400,000 a year

0:29:09 > 0:29:11or, in other words, the piss.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18APPLAUSE

0:29:18 > 0:29:21This is Sir James Crosby, or, as he will henceforth be known,

0:29:21 > 0:29:27that idiot who screwed up HBOS. Some City analysts were shocked

0:29:27 > 0:29:30that a banker was prepared to give up 30% of his pension.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34Even after that, he'll still be worth £400,000 a year.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37I mean, that's assuming it's invested by people

0:29:37 > 0:29:40who know more about it than he does.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Which means at the end of this round,

0:29:42 > 0:29:44it's, er...

0:29:44 > 0:29:48three to Bridget and Paul...

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Yes.- Yes.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54And therefore to Ken and Ian, you're four.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Very tight.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Time now for the Odd One Out round.- It's you!

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Just one between you this week.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Liz Hurley, Carina Trimingham,

0:30:15 > 0:30:18George Osborne and a snow car.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21BRIDGET: Is it the car made of snow...because the other three

0:30:21 > 0:30:23pollute the atmosphere?

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Is it actually a car covered in snow or made out of snow?

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I don't know why I'm asking Brian!

0:30:31 > 0:30:35- He might know.- I don't, I've lost my card.- Make it up.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37I haven't a clue.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39OK...

0:30:39 > 0:30:41LAUGHTER

0:30:43 > 0:30:45APPLAUSE

0:30:47 > 0:30:49We are now rudderless.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54If any of you ever escape from this environment, send help.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59Have I asked the question yet?

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Ian asked, is that a model of a car in snow,

0:31:02 > 0:31:04or is it a car covered in snow?

0:31:04 > 0:31:07It's a car made of snow.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Is it to do with people in prison?

0:31:08 > 0:31:12Carina Trimingham went to visit Chris Huhne, who's in jail.

0:31:12 > 0:31:17- No, it isn't.- No, but I just wanted to say Chris Huhne's in jail again.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19KEN: Liz Hurley's then-partner

0:31:19 > 0:31:22- got done in a small crime in a car, didn't he?- Yeah.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Hugh Grant.- Yes.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26You've got to name names, don't worry about Leveson.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I'll protect you. - LAUGHTER

0:31:29 > 0:31:34Either George Osborne has had an illicit affair or the car.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38Now, if you had to have sex with one of those two, which would you go for?

0:31:39 > 0:31:41- BUZZER - We think it's the car.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47- For the reason I gave?- No, no.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50BRIDGET: Osborne parked in a disabled bay this week

0:31:50 > 0:31:52in McDonald's and he got a ticket.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55The car that's made out of snow was only a temporary problem

0:31:55 > 0:31:57because it melted.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00- What's her car offence?- Liz Hurley?

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Hugh Grant. Oh, well... there's a connection.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05I don't think she was there,

0:32:05 > 0:32:07that's part of the reason why the offence occurred.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11- I think, I-I... - Yeah, go on, tell us.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Gentlemen... L-Ladies and gentlemen,

0:32:13 > 0:32:16I have to say that I'm actually losing my mind at the moment.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19I think we've gone way past that event.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21They've all received a parking ticket,

0:32:21 > 0:32:24apart from George Osborne, who didn't,

0:32:24 > 0:32:26because he can park wherever he likes.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29According to the Mirror - the Mirror know - he parked his...

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Which Osborne clearly isn't, as we can see here...

0:32:37 > 0:32:41MUSIC: "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor

0:32:41 > 0:32:44# Just a man and his will to survive

0:32:47 > 0:32:51# So many times it happens too fast

0:32:51 > 0:32:54# You trade your passion for glory... #

0:32:58 > 0:33:00APPLAUSE

0:33:00 > 0:33:02SPEECH DROWNED BY APPLAUSE

0:33:02 > 0:33:04It's a real shame he wasn't any good,

0:33:04 > 0:33:06because, beforehand, he was so excited.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10Sorry.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18That's the Olympic legacy in one clip.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23Carina Trimingham, Chris Huhne's girlfriend,

0:33:23 > 0:33:27was given a £110 penalty for parking in a permit holder's bay

0:33:27 > 0:33:30while visiting him at Wandsworth Prison.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32- I went to Ford once. - You went to what, love?

0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Ford Open Prison.- Did you? - Yeah, it's very nice in there.

0:33:37 > 0:33:38What were you done for?

0:33:40 > 0:33:44No, really, what were you done for? Just laughing it off like that.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Unless you feel you've paid your debt to society?

0:33:47 > 0:33:50I just don't feel we should go back. I've been rehabilitated.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52As what?

0:33:53 > 0:33:55No, he's in...

0:33:55 > 0:33:58The governor said, "I don't want you to get the impression

0:33:58 > 0:34:01"that this place is full of middle-class prisoners."

0:34:01 > 0:34:02And as I left, one of them said,

0:34:02 > 0:34:04"We've got a bridge club here. Do you fancy playing?"

0:34:04 > 0:34:07He's in Leyhill Open Prison in Gloucestershire,

0:34:07 > 0:34:08which has been described as...

0:34:10 > 0:34:13I usually prefer the Ritz. Though not this week,

0:34:13 > 0:34:16it must have been like that episode of Fawlty Towers in there.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25Liz Hurley was recently given £240 worth of parking tickets

0:34:25 > 0:34:28when she left her car on the streets of Mayfair for four days,

0:34:28 > 0:34:32after she had forgotten where she had parked it.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Apparently, it was down to the Sun newspaper,

0:34:34 > 0:34:36who reported that they:

0:34:39 > 0:34:41God, they're good! Aren't they?

0:34:41 > 0:34:43I wonder how they'd done it.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47I wonder if they used any sort of technology?

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Rich people don't behave like you and I -

0:34:49 > 0:34:51all my money goes on my animals.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54We don't know about leaving a little car here and a little car there.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57- What animals do you have? - He's got 3,000 animals.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Yes, thousands of animals, yes.

0:34:59 > 0:35:00- And so we just...- What...?

0:35:02 > 0:35:06- What are they?- Are you expecting a flood?- I have to tell you now...

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Should we not know?

0:35:12 > 0:35:13They have all received

0:35:13 > 0:35:15a parking ticket,

0:35:15 > 0:35:17apart from George Osborne,

0:35:17 > 0:35:20who didn't, because he can park wherever he likes.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22George Osborne's car was parked illegally

0:35:22 > 0:35:25when he went to get a meal in McDonald's.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26Well, as a Chancellor,

0:35:26 > 0:35:30he's used to opening boxes with unpleasant surprises inside!

0:35:32 > 0:35:37Osborne stopped at McDonald's just off the M4 as he returned from...

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Where a group of toddlers pointed out the holes

0:35:43 > 0:35:45in his deficit reduction plan.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49- It's time now for the missing words...- Oh, good.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53..which this week features as its guest publication

0:35:53 > 0:35:57my own local paper, the Barnsley Chronicle.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Of course, it's not all just about Barnsley.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02They've got a foreign correspondent based in Wakefield.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05And we start with:

0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Breed with humans. No. - Not breed with humans?

0:36:15 > 0:36:17This is a lovely series.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20This is "Choo-choo"... Michael Portillo's

0:36:20 > 0:36:22proposed filming in south Yorkshire,

0:36:22 > 0:36:24which, according to the Barnsley Chronicle:

0:36:28 > 0:36:29I should think by then,

0:36:29 > 0:36:33they'll have had time to clear away the bunting and party balloons.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35And next:

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Thatcher!

0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Just giving Ken a bad time. - Don't forget, we're in Yorkshire.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54I didn't know it had died.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57- It's a piece of wood. There's a hole in it.- Yes.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01And you put a piece of wood inside and it sticks out.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03And you've got a great big stick here and you kind of hit it,

0:37:03 > 0:37:06and it used to go right up in the air and then wham!

0:37:06 > 0:37:10You could hit a farmer or a policeman from 100 yards.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13- I think I've seen this. Bang, like that?- That's it.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17It's a bloody good weapon. They could use it in North Korea.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18And next:

0:37:25 > 0:37:26Confront Murdoch.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Buy some curtains.- Yes!

0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Brilliant.- Buy some curtains?

0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Did you say buy some curtains? - Yes, I did.- No, that's a crap answer.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Well...

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Isn't that what you said?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Did you say that?- Yes.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Give the point back! I'm sorry.- And next:

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- To be remade.- Yes.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02According to the Telegraph,

0:38:02 > 0:38:07Blake's 7 wouldn't have been a cult hit without guest appearances by

0:38:07 > 0:38:12Julian Glover, Roy Kinnear, and, of course, legendary Brian Blessed.

0:38:12 > 0:38:17You've added the word "legendary"!

0:38:18 > 0:38:20I was Vultan in Flash Gordon.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Yeah, I remember that bit. - I was a sex symbol.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28I got 28 million letters a bloody week.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31And finally:

0:38:34 > 0:38:36They don't like coming back,

0:38:36 > 0:38:39because it was so wonderful up there, and then they've come back.

0:38:39 > 0:38:40They've stood on the moon.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42They've looked at the blue and green planet

0:38:42 > 0:38:46spinning in the middle of the black velvet around it and all the stars,

0:38:46 > 0:38:48as if casually tossed against a sort of...

0:38:48 > 0:38:52Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about. Is it headache?

0:38:52 > 0:38:54The answer is:

0:38:56 > 0:38:59This is the newly discovered transcripts of Apollo 10,

0:38:59 > 0:39:02which feature the mission commander saying:

0:39:06 > 0:39:09I've always thought the first shit in space

0:39:09 > 0:39:12was going to be Richard Branson.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Do you want me to tell my story?

0:39:15 > 0:39:17You might as well.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21No, he says no! He knows what it is.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24He knows what it is.

0:39:24 > 0:39:29So, the final scores are... Bridget and Paul have got six.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33And my two friends on the right - the ex-Lord Mayor Mr Livingstone

0:39:33 > 0:39:36and Ian Hislop - they've got six!

0:39:36 > 0:39:37A wonderful draw!

0:39:40 > 0:39:41APPLAUSE

0:39:41 > 0:39:43SPEECH DROWNED BY APPLAUSE

0:39:46 > 0:39:48That felt really good - someone referring to me and Ken as,

0:39:48 > 0:39:50"My two friends on the right."

0:39:52 > 0:39:58- Do I continue now, then, Paul? - That's up to your agent.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06On which note, we say thank you to our panellists -

0:40:06 > 0:40:10Ian Hislop and Ken Livingstone, Paul Merton and Bridget Christie!

0:40:10 > 0:40:12APPLAUSE

0:40:17 > 0:40:20And I leave you with news that in Alabama,

0:40:20 > 0:40:24a group of gay rights activists campaign for same-sex marriage.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32In southwest China, a cormorant salesman is advised by locals

0:40:32 > 0:40:34to "go and get those looked at".

0:40:37 > 0:40:41And the row over the cost of Lady Thatcher's funeral escalates,

0:40:41 > 0:40:43with the delivery of the hearse.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Good night, and don't let the bastards grind you down!

0:40:50 > 0:40:52APPLAUSE

0:41:27 > 0:41:30And so our little thing is, which won't be shown...

0:41:30 > 0:41:31You can see my hands.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34We used to play marbles and we had ball bearings

0:41:34 > 0:41:38and we had glass arrows and we had glass marbles in the war years.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40And as a good marble player...

0:41:40 > 0:41:42A poor marble player did that,

0:41:42 > 0:41:45but a good marble player could turn -

0:41:45 > 0:41:47which is rather handsome -

0:41:47 > 0:41:50put the marble just there, between the thumb and finger and shoot.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52And you had immense accuracy.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Have you lost any of those marbles since then?
