APPLAUSE

0:00:240:00:27

Good evening. Welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:370:00:39

I'm Stephen Mangan, and in the news this week,

0:00:390:00:42

at the NUT headquarters,

0:00:420:00:43

as Michael Gove gets stuck in a lift,

0:00:430:00:45

he's reassured it'll be repaired in no time...

0:00:450:00:49

..secret footage shows the truth about how Lidl make their salad...

0:00:570:01:01

..and in Kent, some UKIP supporters are hypnotised

0:01:100:01:14

and told to kill the Prime Minister.

0:01:140:01:16

NIGEL: That's a bit rich!

0:01:210:01:22

On Paul's team tonight is the leader of UKIP,

0:01:220:01:25

who was recently interviewed in his Mayfair office by Alastair Campbell,

0:01:250:01:29

thus giving the sniper across the street with one bullet

0:01:290:01:32

a terrible dilemma.

0:01:320:01:34

Please welcome Nigel Farage.

0:01:340:01:37

Thank you.

0:01:390:01:40

And with Ian tonight,

0:01:420:01:44

bringing our percentage of women on the show

0:01:440:01:46

to well above that of the coalition Cabinet,

0:01:460:01:49

it's comedian Roisin Conaty.

0:01:490:01:51

And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:01:560:01:59

Ian and Roisin, have a look at this.

0:01:590:02:02

Oh, this is Maria Miller. She's gone, going into a house, not hers.

0:02:020:02:06

Oh, she's changed her outfit.

0:02:060:02:08

There's another house. That's probably hers.

0:02:080:02:11

Oh, and it's a duck house. That's where she put her parents to live.

0:02:110:02:15

LAUGHTER

0:02:160:02:17

No, he doesn't think that's funny either.

0:02:170:02:20

-She's resigned.

-She's resigned! She's gone.

0:02:210:02:23

She said it was because she'd brought in gay marriage

0:02:230:02:27

and the evil press were out to get her.

0:02:270:02:29

But, you know, that's unfair, cos...

0:02:290:02:31

We were. Er...

0:02:310:02:34

But she did actually threaten the Telegraph when they brought it up.

0:02:340:02:37

One of her assistants said,

0:02:370:02:39

"My boss is in charge of Leveson and press behaviour."

0:02:390:02:41

The reason she went is the public are furious.

0:02:410:02:43

They've had enough of MPs claiming expenses

0:02:430:02:45

and it's very damaging for everyone, isn't it, Nigel?

0:02:450:02:47

Nigel, what do you think about her resigning?

0:02:470:02:50

On the basis she doesn't even know where she lives,

0:02:510:02:54

I wouldn't have thought she's fit to be in the Cabinet, would you?

0:02:540:02:56

I'd say good riddance, frankly.

0:02:560:02:58

I think it's absolutely disgusting, all these elected politicians

0:02:580:03:01

using all these expenses to better themselves.

0:03:010:03:04

It's disgraceful, isn't it, Ian?

0:03:040:03:05

It's absolutely disgraceful, Mr Kettle.

0:03:050:03:08

So why was Cameron so reluctant to get rid of her?

0:03:120:03:14

He didn't want to look weak,

0:03:140:03:16

he didn't want to lose one of the women in his Cabinet

0:03:160:03:18

and he doesn't like being told what to do.

0:03:180:03:21

And he's indecisive.

0:03:210:03:23

And he's hopeless.

0:03:230:03:24

It's not like the real world, is it?

0:03:260:03:27

She's lost her job but she's just gone to the back benches,

0:03:270:03:30

so it's not like...

0:03:300:03:31

It's like school - she had to stand up and say,

0:03:310:03:33

"Sorry for my attitude," and then got told to sit at the back of the class.

0:03:330:03:37

She was a woman who went to a comprehensive,

0:03:370:03:39

so he's done pretty well to communicate with her up till now.

0:03:390:03:42

In her resignation, she apologised.

0:03:440:03:46

-She said she was leaving because she'd become a "distraction".

-Yes.

0:03:460:03:50

Cats in tights on the internet are a distraction.

0:03:500:03:53

The press kept commissioning opinion polls,

0:03:550:03:58

all which said she should quit.

0:03:580:04:01

This is something David Cameron had actually told his MPs

0:04:010:04:04

to think about when the expenses scandal broke in 2009...

0:04:040:04:06

Well, Dave, it looks a bit like this...

0:04:130:04:15

And Sky News weren't to be left out.

0:04:210:04:23

They conducted its very own scientific survey of MPs.

0:04:230:04:27

Did you see this?

0:04:270:04:28

Two people think she should be sacked, one thinks no,

0:04:290:04:32

13 - no comment.

0:04:320:04:34

-It's not a very big poll, is it?

-No.

-It's barely a quiz.

0:04:350:04:38

-Is that a PLO scarf she's wearing?

-It is, actually, yeah.

0:04:410:04:44

It didn't help, the MPs who actually turned out to help her out.

0:04:470:04:51

I mean, first out was Iain Duncan Smith,

0:04:510:04:54

who's just brought in the Bedroom Tax, where you penalise

0:04:540:04:57

people for having a spare bedroom, and she's got a spare house!

0:04:570:05:00

They go to jail, she goes to the back benches...

0:05:020:05:05

-PUTS ON SURLY VOICE

-..for her attitude.

0:05:050:05:06

Who's replaced Maria Miller?

0:05:110:05:13

-Sajid...

-Sajid Javid.

0:05:130:05:15

-What you said.

-That's it.

0:05:150:05:16

He's completely different.

0:05:160:05:18

He used to work for a merchant bank.

0:05:180:05:20

Yeah.

0:05:200:05:21

Didn't he take over within three hours?

0:05:230:05:26

If you can leave your job within three hours,

0:05:260:05:28

your job probably isn't really worth anything.

0:05:280:05:32

Three hours?

0:05:320:05:33

It took me two weeks and two interviews

0:05:330:05:35

to get a job in Woolworths.

0:05:350:05:37

Yeah, but that's a proper job.

0:05:370:05:38

-Yeah, exactly.

-It's harder now they've gone bankrupt.

0:05:380:05:41

Much harder.

0:05:420:05:44

-And he replaced someone before, because of expenses, in 2009.

-Ah.

0:05:440:05:48

I think. So he's like Tory Polyfilla.

0:05:480:05:50

Any other casualties from this farrago?

0:05:540:05:56

Farrago sounds like...

0:05:570:05:59

Ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha.

0:05:590:06:00

Sounds like the Italian branch of your family, doesn't it?

0:06:000:06:03

Any other casualties?

0:06:070:06:09

Unruly blonde hair, is that a clue?

0:06:090:06:12

Oh, Michael Fabricant.

0:06:120:06:13

He got sacked, cos he tweeted, "About time," she was sacked.

0:06:130:06:18

Which suggests the Prime Minister was dithering. So he sacked him.

0:06:180:06:21

"You're out, Fabricant. Take your wig with you."

0:06:210:06:24

Take your wig with you, exactly, yeah. He tweeted:

0:06:240:06:26

Here he is.

0:06:360:06:37

For party officials, the final straw...

0:06:380:06:41

was seen coming out of his head.

0:06:410:06:43

Maria Miller's resignation attracted the usual bunch of rent-a-quotes...

0:06:450:06:49

That was Nigel Farage.

0:06:550:06:57

The same Nigel Farage who, in 2009, revealed that as an MEP,

0:06:570:07:01

he'd claimed, in expenses...

0:07:010:07:03

AUDIENCE BOOS

0:07:060:07:08

And who was it that brought up the issue of £2 million and me

0:07:080:07:12

and taxpayers' money?

0:07:120:07:14

-Denis MacShane.

-Yeah, he's in jail, but you're not.

0:07:140:07:17

-Yes, I had noticed that.

-Good. Erm...

0:07:170:07:20

Yes, well, as a tax-funded MEP,

0:07:200:07:22

Nigel Farage is an equal opportunities employer.

0:07:220:07:25

Some of our money has gone to his wife

0:07:250:07:27

and some to his mistress.

0:07:270:07:29

Erm, I think that is "allegedly", don't you?

0:07:290:07:32

I think that is "allegedly".

0:07:320:07:34

We can set the record straight right now.

0:07:340:07:36

I think you ought to say "allegedly", quite honestly.

0:07:360:07:39

Can I say, as a member of the press,

0:07:390:07:41

I think actors really are in need of a royal charter.

0:07:410:07:44

I mean, that sort of allegation is pretty distressing.

0:07:460:07:50

Is it true?

0:07:500:07:52

-No, afraid not.

-Not true at all.

0:07:520:07:54

-Not true at all.

-Any of the good bits?

0:07:540:07:56

LAUGHTER Well, that's...

0:07:580:08:01

There are good bits?!

0:08:010:08:02

-I'll tell you afterwards.

-Right.

-HE MOUTHS SILENTLY

0:08:040:08:07

Let's have a look, shall we, at some of those revelations.

0:08:070:08:10

Here is Nikki Sinclaire, a former UKIP MEP,

0:08:100:08:13

now representing the We Demand A Referendum Party

0:08:130:08:16

in the European Parliament.

0:08:160:08:17

Take a close look at the reaction of the translator

0:08:170:08:20

in the bottom left corner of the screen.

0:08:200:08:23

Does Mr Farage think it's a fair use of taxpayers' money,

0:08:230:08:26

namely his secretarial allowance, not only to employ his wife, Kirsten,

0:08:260:08:31

but his former mistress, Annabelle Fuller?

0:08:310:08:34

Is this a responsible use of taxpayers' money, Mr Farage?

0:08:340:08:37

I would just say this to you, Chairman -

0:08:390:08:41

this is somebody who hid under the cloak of parliamentary privilege

0:08:410:08:44

to make those comments and, when asked to repeat them publically,

0:08:440:08:47

refused to do so.

0:08:470:08:48

Quite funny, though.

0:08:490:08:51

David Cameron was very rude about your people, wasn't he, Nigel?

0:08:530:08:56

Oh, he always is. He can't help himself.

0:08:560:08:59

-Fruitcakes?

-Fruitcakes and loonies.

-And loonies, and worse.

0:08:590:09:02

-He said worse than that.

-He did.

-Extremists.

0:09:020:09:04

-Extremists?

-Yeah.

-Shocking(!)

0:09:040:09:06

-Well, I think it's time...

-LAUGHTER

0:09:060:09:10

I think it's time for a game of Fruitcake or Loony?

0:09:100:09:13

OK, everyone, fingers on your buzzers.

0:09:160:09:18

I'll show you some UKIP party members.

0:09:180:09:21

You have to buzz in and tell me whether they're a fruitcake...

0:09:210:09:23

..or a loony.

0:09:250:09:26

Here's the first one.

0:09:310:09:33

-NIGEL: I don't know who he is.

-Ian.

0:09:360:09:39

-I'm just guessing. Fruitcake.

-I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.

0:09:390:09:42

He's a loony.

0:09:420:09:45

He's a would-be UKIP counsellor and loony John Sullivan, who wrote...

0:09:450:09:49

Which is quite right, Mr Sullivan, and that's why you'll never see

0:09:550:09:58

a gay man down the gym.

0:09:580:10:00

APPLAUSE

0:10:050:10:07

Fingers on buzzers. Here's your next one.

0:10:070:10:09

BUZZER

0:10:110:10:13

-Nigel Farage, UKIP party.

-Uh...

0:10:130:10:15

This is a bit tricky, this one.

0:10:180:10:20

Cos he's the treasurer of one of our biggest donors.

0:10:200:10:22

I wouldn't really like to call Stuart Wheeler either.

0:10:220:10:25

-I'll have to go for fruitcake.

-Is the correct answer.

0:10:250:10:28

He got it right.

0:10:280:10:30

Yes, this is UKIP party treasurer Stuart Wheeler

0:10:300:10:33

and fruitcake who said that women had no place in the boardroom

0:10:330:10:35

and couldn't compete with men at sports,

0:10:350:10:38

even when they're not physically disadvantaged. He said...

0:10:380:10:41

Final go, fruitcake or loony?

0:10:500:10:52

Don't know the chap.

0:10:560:10:58

-No, anyone?

-I'm going to go for loony.

-Is the wrong answer.

0:11:000:11:03

It's actually a trick question.

0:11:030:11:05

He's not a fruitcake nor a loony, he's a closet racist.

0:11:050:11:08

At a public meeting about Travellers he said...

0:11:120:11:16

-His name is Rob Fraser.

-Thanks for telling me.

-There you go.

0:11:200:11:24

-UKIP supporter.

-Nice chap, buys his round.

0:11:240:11:26

So, back to Maria Miller.

0:11:300:11:32

Here's Sky News' Kay Burley getting some reactions.

0:11:320:11:36

So, how has David Cameron come out of this?

0:11:360:11:39

Let's talk to two Conservative MPs. Ben Harris-Quinney and Mark Wallace.

0:11:390:11:42

It's very kind of you to promote me to being an MP

0:11:420:11:45

but I haven't been elected by the people. I'm a mere humble blogger.

0:11:450:11:49

I'm quite happy arguing on the internet about politics, thank you.

0:11:490:11:52

Do you like being an MP, Ben?

0:11:520:11:54

-I'm not an MP either, I'm afraid.

-Oh, OK.

0:11:540:11:57

It's where the news happens second.

0:12:000:12:04

You can't see the bottom half of Kay Burley there

0:12:040:12:06

because she is busy kicking the researcher to death under her desk.

0:12:060:12:10

All three of them are bald and playing a game of musical wigs.

0:12:100:12:13

This is the resignation of Maria Miller,

0:12:190:12:21

the Minister for Culture. Accepting Maria Miller's resignation,

0:12:210:12:24

David Cameron praised her achievements including the fact

0:12:240:12:27

that thanks to her many more people...

0:12:270:12:29

Thus helping 180,000 of them

0:12:320:12:34

to sign an online petition calling for her to quit.

0:12:340:12:37

The only person to deliver a less credible apology this week

0:12:390:12:42

was Oscar Pistorius.

0:12:420:12:43

Her replacement, Sajid Javid, is a rising star at the Treasury

0:12:480:12:51

whose background as a former vice president at Chase Manhattan Bank

0:12:510:12:55

and then head of Deutsche Bank's Global Credit Trading,

0:12:550:12:58

Structured Finance and Securitisation in Asia

0:12:580:13:01

makes him the perfect choice for Culture Secretary.

0:13:010:13:04

Paul and Nigel, take a look at this.

0:13:060:13:09

This is New Zealand.

0:13:090:13:10

This is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and, oh...

0:13:100:13:14

-NIGEL: What's he want to do with that?

-I don't know.

0:13:140:13:17

-Bit disturbing, isn't it?

-Is that the new baby? It is, I think.

0:13:170:13:20

Future King George.

0:13:200:13:22

There was a piece in the paper about how much he looked like his father.

0:13:220:13:25

Which was considered newsworthy.

0:13:250:13:26

-So, they've been to New Zealand.

-It's good news for the royal family.

0:13:260:13:31

It's nice, isn't it? It's good.

0:13:310:13:33

Bit of an exclusive, I think. A scoop.

0:13:350:13:38

What the prince picked up was, in fact, a poisoned dart. Is that right?

0:13:380:13:41

I don't know.

0:13:410:13:43

-To prove that he's friend rather than foe.

-I think that's right.

0:13:430:13:47

And he had to maintain eye contact throughout.

0:13:470:13:49

Although those tattooed buttocks might have been

0:13:490:13:52

a bit of a distraction. I'm not sure.

0:13:520:13:53

Were they distracting for you, Nigel?

0:13:530:13:56

Not personally.

0:13:560:13:58

We are, Ian...

0:13:590:14:01

-As you know, we're a very liberal-minded party.

-Absolutely.

0:14:010:14:04

I was going to suggest there's a gym nearby.

0:14:040:14:06

Flex your manifesto.

0:14:110:14:14

Yes, this is the visit of Wills and Kate to New Zealand.

0:14:140:14:17

-How did they begin their visit?

-They got off a plane.

0:14:170:14:20

Is the right answer.

0:14:210:14:23

Local knowledge helped there.

0:14:230:14:27

During the welcoming ceremony, who was that

0:14:270:14:29

displaying their tattooed buttocks and why was this unexpected?

0:14:290:14:33

Was it the Foreign Secretary?

0:14:330:14:35

He was a Maori warrior and they normally wear nothing

0:14:360:14:39

-under their grass skirt and ceremonial belt.

-Yeah.

0:14:390:14:42

But they agreed to wear an additional black thong.

0:14:420:14:45

What did Prince George do for the first time in New Zealand?

0:14:450:14:48

He waved. Yep, he's picked it up. Which is 90% of the job so...

0:14:480:14:53

Yes, he had his first official engagement, meeting dignitaries

0:14:550:14:59

including John Key, New Zealand's Prime Minister.

0:14:590:15:02

According to the Daily Mail...

0:15:020:15:04

..he made quite an impression on the baby.

0:15:080:15:11

Meanwhile in royal news back home, what's going on here?

0:15:110:15:16

This is the first visit to England by an Irish President.

0:15:160:15:21

That's him there. The little guy, Michael Higgins.

0:15:210:15:23

Rather overawed by where he is, I think.

0:15:230:15:27

I mean, he is a funny little fellow. There's no two ways about it.

0:15:270:15:31

My Irish cousins say the same so I'm trying not to be impolite.

0:15:310:15:34

It's of great historical significance.

0:15:340:15:36

-Who did he bring with him?

-McGuinness.

-Martin McGuinness.

0:15:360:15:39

He didn't technically bring him with him, did he?

0:15:390:15:42

It makes it sound like it's his plus one.

0:15:420:15:44

They had dinner and a lot of people complained saying,

0:15:460:15:49

"What is Martin McGuinness doing at a dinner with the Queen?"

0:15:490:15:52

-Eating.

-Eating.

0:15:520:15:55

-And toasting.

-Yeah.

-He toasted the Queen.

-He did.

0:15:550:15:58

Which I thought the complaints rather missed the point.

0:15:580:16:00

Which is when you make a peace treaty you do it with people

0:16:000:16:04

who don't like you very much.

0:16:040:16:06

And better to have him in a white tie than in a black beret

0:16:060:16:09

throwing things, really.

0:16:090:16:11

-What did the Queen wear to mark this occasion?

-Balaclava?

0:16:110:16:15

With the crown on top.

0:16:190:16:21

Make him feel at ease.

0:16:230:16:25

Break the tension a little bit.

0:16:250:16:27

"It's me!"

0:16:280:16:29

Yes, as a reference to the Emerald Isle

0:16:310:16:34

she wore the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia's tiara.

0:16:340:16:37

Which is decorated with emeralds.

0:16:370:16:39

And although McGuinness was invited to the state banquet,

0:16:390:16:42

the Queen made her feelings known by forcing him

0:16:420:16:45

to have a conversation with Ed Miliband.

0:16:450:16:47

And in the week when Royal favourite Princess Anne

0:16:510:16:54

suggested badgers should be gassed,

0:16:540:16:56

here's my favourite badger-related headline

0:16:560:16:58

which also involves Kelly Brook's boyfriend.

0:16:580:17:01

And, to be fair, we've all done it.

0:17:080:17:10

I suppose we should mention Europe.

0:17:110:17:13

Here's a BBC reporter at a debate about the EU.

0:17:130:17:15

We did talk to some UKIP people today who weren't happy at all

0:17:150:17:18

and they did say they thought - some might be coming along -

0:17:180:17:21

we'll have to see when the questions and answers come later,

0:17:210:17:23

-as to whether they are...

-I'm very sorry...

-I'm sorry.

0:17:230:17:26

..but we're having a meeting.

0:17:260:17:28

Well, you might have to speak even more quietly for a moment.

0:17:280:17:32

Unfortunately, I think we may leave it there.

0:17:320:17:35

Well, it's just a rank and file party member,

0:17:370:17:39

nothing to worry about, perfectly normal.

0:17:390:17:42

This is the visit of Wills and Kate to New Zealand.

0:17:470:17:49

The Daily Mail devoted eight pages of photos of the Royal Prince.

0:17:490:17:53

Which is fair enough

0:17:530:17:55

because nobody's ever seen a fucking baby before.

0:17:550:17:57

APPLAUSE

0:17:590:18:03

Back in the UK, the Queen hosted a state visit for the Irish President.

0:18:030:18:07

Controversially, they were joined at Windsor Castle by former

0:18:070:18:10

IRA Commander Martin McGuinness for a sumptuous banquet.

0:18:100:18:14

Though the choice of dessert was perhaps a little insensitive.

0:18:140:18:17

"Vanilla ice cream BOMBE."

0:18:170:18:19

-And so to Round Two, the One Armed Bandit Of News.

-Hurray!

0:18:210:18:25

Fingers on buzzer, team, here's the first one.

0:18:250:18:28

BUZZER

0:18:330:18:34

George Bush has proved that he's got some paint and a brush.

0:18:340:18:38

-And that's not too bad, I suppose. That's Tony Blair, I think.

-Is it?

0:18:380:18:43

I thought it was Putin.

0:18:430:18:45

I think he does the one face, to be honest. That is Putin with hair.

0:18:450:18:50

So, it's George Bush, he's become a painter.

0:18:500:18:52

-Now we know what he did with all that oil.

-Yeah, exactly.

0:18:520:18:55

He loves oil - painting, crude.

0:18:570:19:00

Baby?

0:19:000:19:01

Very little evidence for that.

0:19:040:19:06

Anyone know where this exhibition is being held?

0:19:060:19:09

It's in his front room.

0:19:090:19:10

Is it the seventh inner circle of hell?

0:19:120:19:14

It's at...

0:19:150:19:17

It's the one without the queue.

0:19:190:19:22

How did he announce the opening of the exhibition of portraits?

0:19:220:19:25

Well, he did his traditional countdown -

0:19:250:19:29

ten, nine, eight, nine, six...

0:19:290:19:32

Old joke. Forget it.

0:19:320:19:35

In a TV interview conducted with his daughter he said...

0:19:350:19:38

Don't worry, they won't.

0:19:410:19:44

Have a guess who the people he painted are supposed to be.

0:19:440:19:48

First up, who's this?

0:19:480:19:50

-NIGEL: That's Vlad.

-That is Vlad. Vladimir Putin.

0:19:500:19:53

It looks like he's only paid 50% of the sunbed fee.

0:19:530:19:56

A brown forehead in Russia is seen as a sign of weakness.

0:20:000:20:04

Who's this fella?

0:20:040:20:05

-NIGEL: Silvio Berlusconi.

-No, that's Bob Monkhouse.

0:20:070:20:10

Critics have described the portraits as "impersonal," why might that be?

0:20:140:20:18

-He copied them all off Google Images.

-He didn't!

0:20:180:20:22

Yeah, they are all off Google Images. I read this in the paper.

0:20:220:20:24

I thought all those people came and sat for him.

0:20:260:20:29

-He's traced them, effectively.

-Yes, that's pretty much the right answer.

0:20:290:20:34

Here's Putin again, with his Google Image picture.

0:20:340:20:38

And here's the Australian PM, John Howard.

0:20:380:20:40

-It's getting better.

-Yeah, well, I'll show you some more, then.

0:20:440:20:47

Here's my favourite. It's Rafa Benitez.

0:20:470:20:50

-Not really. That's Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister.

-Yeah.

0:20:510:20:55

His chin looks very close and his forehead looks very far away.

0:20:570:21:01

Sense of perspective, always George's problem.

0:21:040:21:07

It's quite sad. Clinton and Blair, they're still on the world stage

0:21:120:21:16

and he's just painting people he used to know.

0:21:160:21:19

Sort of imagine him putting them all on chairs

0:21:190:21:22

and sort of chatting to them.

0:21:220:21:25

Where might his pictures find a permanent home?

0:21:250:21:27

Landfill.

0:21:270:21:30

They might end up in the Museum of Bad Art in Massachusetts.

0:21:300:21:33

Let's have a look at some of the exhibits.

0:21:330:21:35

This is the "Mana Lisa."

0:21:350:21:38

And here's one of the Obamas.

0:21:390:21:41

-Nigel, have you had your portrait done?

-No.

0:21:440:21:47

How would you describe your look?

0:21:470:21:49

-Ragged.

-Ragged?

-Mm.

0:21:510:21:54

Anyone else have a view on how Nigel looks?

0:21:540:21:56

Swivel-eyed?

0:21:580:21:59

Well, I think Defence Minister Anna Soubry described you best,

0:22:010:22:05

Nigel, when she told viewers of Andrew Marr's programme...

0:22:050:22:08

Wow!

0:22:140:22:16

APPLAUSE

0:22:160:22:18

That's what we expect.

0:22:180:22:20

I get lonely.

0:22:270:22:28

These are the paintings by former President George W Bush.

0:22:310:22:34

His paintings were described as...

0:22:340:22:35

..by one art critic. As...

0:22:370:22:39

..by another. But as "magnificent masterpieces worthy of Michelangelo"

0:22:400:22:44

by Tony Blair.

0:22:440:22:45

Here's George Bush's portrait of Tony Blair.

0:22:470:22:50

To be fair, it is quite a good likeness.

0:22:500:22:52

The lies follow you round the room.

0:22:520:22:55

Fingers on buzzers, teams. Here's the next one.

0:22:550:22:58

BUZZER

0:23:030:23:05

-Yes, Paul.

-It's cows.

0:23:050:23:07

It's about cows, erm, we've got to stop cows farting and burping

0:23:070:23:10

-because they're contributing to...

-Global warming.

-Global warming.

0:23:100:23:13

So put cows on a different sort of diet, don't give them stuff

0:23:130:23:16

that makes them windy, is the idea.

0:23:160:23:17

-What, like grass, you mean?

-Grass, yeah, they take them off grass.

0:23:170:23:21

Put them on concrete.

0:23:210:23:22

Yes, this is the Cow of the Future project

0:23:240:23:26

which the US government got behind and then wished it hadn't.

0:23:260:23:29

How will a cow of the future differ from a cow of today?

0:23:290:23:34

We're obviously going to catch something in that pink thing,

0:23:340:23:37

their farts, to use it? We're going to use it power stuff, I imagine.

0:23:370:23:41

Yeah, they're just going to throw it at wind turbines.

0:23:410:23:45

If throwing a cow at a wind turbine doesn't make it fart, nothing will.

0:23:450:23:49

They're skittish animals at the best of times.

0:23:490:23:53

Well, according to the Financial Times,

0:23:530:23:55

the cow of the future will be...

0:23:550:23:57

What do you think happens to the methane?

0:24:050:24:07

I don't know the answer, I just wonder if anyone's thought of it.

0:24:070:24:10

You've collected all that methane, what are you going to do with it?

0:24:100:24:13

Set fire to it. We're wasting our time.

0:24:130:24:15

Is that your answer when you don't know what to do with it, "Set fire to it!"?

0:24:150:24:19

-Seems reasonable.

-Yeah.

0:24:190:24:20

Brussels...

0:24:200:24:22

Oh, absolutely.

0:24:240:24:25

Something excited happened to another type of animal recently.

0:24:270:24:31

-This isn't cats?

-Dogs.

0:24:310:24:33

This week, for the first time, a British dog was successfully cloned.

0:24:330:24:37

-Oh, yeah!

-A Channel 4 documentary

0:24:370:24:39

revealed that a sample of skin tissue from the dog, Winnie,

0:24:390:24:42

seen here with owner Rebecca,

0:24:420:24:44

was sent to South Korea, where it was cloned.

0:24:440:24:47

Here is the new dog being weighed-in

0:24:470:24:50

in Seoul's leading delicatessen.

0:24:500:24:52

I'm going to come over all Stephen Fry now...

0:24:560:24:58

-I beg your pardon?

-No.

0:24:580:25:00

To be fair...you have been very patient, Stephen.

0:25:070:25:11

LAUGHTER DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:25:130:25:16

What medical term comes from the Latin for cow

0:25:160:25:20

and why has it been in the news recently?

0:25:200:25:22

Erm, bovine?

0:25:220:25:23

Erm...

0:25:230:25:24

-AUDIENCE MEMBER: Vaccine.

-Yeah, thank you.

0:25:240:25:27

Thank you very much indeed.

0:25:290:25:31

Would you like to take over?

0:25:310:25:33

Come on.

0:25:330:25:35

Oh, no, apparently... Oh, no, OK, you can't.

0:25:350:25:38

Vaccine, yes. It comes from the Latin word for cow.

0:25:410:25:45

According to the Guardian, Roche, the drug company behind Tamiflu,

0:25:450:25:48

held back clinical trials

0:25:480:25:49

which would have shown the drug was pretty much useless.

0:25:490:25:52

Do you remember, during the Swine Flu outbreak, everybody said,

0:25:520:25:55

"If you take Tamiflu or one of those things,

0:25:550:25:58

"it'll decrease your illness by half a day."

0:25:580:26:01

Which you could do by taking a paracetamol.

0:26:010:26:03

And the two companies involved, GlaxoSmithKline

0:26:030:26:07

and Roche basically spent four years trying to avoid telling you

0:26:070:26:11

what their clinical trials knew all along.

0:26:110:26:14

By which time, the Government had actually spent the money,

0:26:140:26:16

stockpiled the stuff, then it got desperate,

0:26:160:26:19

didn't know what to do with it,

0:26:190:26:21

-so they actually extended the end of life of the product.

-The sell-by.

0:26:210:26:24

Yeah, they extended it and they encouraged GPs to buy it

0:26:240:26:27

from a central stock and get rid of it as quickly as possible.

0:26:270:26:30

So this is a story in which everyone's behaved appallingly,

0:26:300:26:33

except you. You're clear.

0:26:330:26:34

I think that's right, Ian, yes, I agree with you.

0:26:340:26:36

That's amazing.

0:26:380:26:40

Scientists are working on a climate-friendly

0:26:400:26:42

cow of the future, which will emit less methane.

0:26:420:26:46

According to the Financial Times,

0:26:460:26:47

the average cow emits 300 litres of methane every day and...

0:26:470:26:51

All you need is a fridge, a cow, a tube, a pair of gloves,

0:26:550:26:59

Wellington boots, a source of hay, a shovel

0:26:590:27:02

and another fridge where you actually keep your food.

0:27:020:27:05

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:27:050:27:07

BELL RINGS

0:27:130:27:15

This is the most powerful number - seven.

0:27:150:27:18

Is that right? They did a survey. I must have read this somewhere.

0:27:180:27:21

They have done a survey and seven is the world's favourite number.

0:27:210:27:25

-Ah, favourite number.

-Yes.

0:27:250:27:26

Alex Bellos asked 44,000 people to submit their favourite number

0:27:260:27:30

and seven proved the most popular. He describes it as...

0:27:300:27:33

"The Nigel Farage of the number world."

0:27:360:27:38

-Shall we go through the top ten world's favourite numbers?

-Yes.

0:27:400:27:45

-Yeah.

-PICK OF THE POPS THEME PLAYS

0:27:450:27:46

What's at number one? Number ten, sorry.

0:27:460:27:49

-So, number ten. What do you think?

-Number nine is number ten.

-No.

0:27:500:27:54

-Number eight.

-No.

-Number ten's number ten.

-No.

-Number one.

-No.

0:27:540:27:57

All numbers are available.

0:27:570:27:59

Oh, 128.

0:27:590:28:02

No, at number ten, the tenth most popular number is, in fact, 11.

0:28:020:28:06

-At nine.

-It's ten.

-No.

0:28:070:28:10

-40.

-No.

-21.

-No.

0:28:100:28:13

At number nine is the number two.

0:28:130:28:17

The most popular number in eighth position is...six.

0:28:170:28:21

The seventh most popular number is nine,

0:28:210:28:24

and the sixth most popular number is 13.

0:28:240:28:26

OK, here's the top five.

0:28:260:28:29

PICK OF THE POPS THEME

0:28:290:28:32

This is going to be on Channel 4 for a whole evening.

0:28:320:28:36

There'll be some talking heads in a minute.

0:28:360:28:39

"What do you think of six?" "Yeah, love it."

0:28:390:28:41

"I've always liked five cos it's a working class number.

0:28:410:28:45

"That's what I like about five."

0:28:450:28:48

"I think that three, when I was first growing up, I thought

0:28:480:28:51

"three was a magnificent..." Oh, sorry!

0:28:510:28:54

I've started auditioning! Sorry.

0:28:540:28:57

-Where am I?

-Let's firstly complete the top five.

0:28:570:29:00

-At number five is five.

-Brilliant.

0:29:000:29:03

-Number is four.

-Yes!

0:29:030:29:06

-And number three is...eight.

-Oh!

0:29:060:29:08

At number two...

0:29:080:29:10

-One.

-..is three.

0:29:100:29:12

And, of course, seven is the top one at number one.

0:29:120:29:15

But the study did ask people

0:29:150:29:17

to describe the numbers between one and ten.

0:29:170:29:20

Two was thought to be...

0:29:200:29:22

How do you think three was described?

0:29:300:29:32

Nostalgic, sexy, unreliable.

0:29:320:29:34

Three is...

0:29:350:29:37

Oh, God!

0:29:390:29:41

Four, according to the people who responded to the survey, is:

0:29:410:29:43

Yeah, this is absolute bollocks, isn't it?

0:29:470:29:49

-Nigel...

-Nigel Four-age.

-Four-age.

0:29:490:29:53

-Ah. Dear.

-Nigel, you were once given a can of 7 Up by your UKIP pals.

0:29:550:29:58

-I was, I remember that now. Yes.

-Why was that?

0:29:580:30:01

-I've forgotten the reason.

-Oh. Well, luckily, I do know.

-Oh, really?

0:30:010:30:05

According to former Deputy Party Leader Mike Nattrass -

0:30:050:30:09

is that how you say it?

0:30:090:30:10

I'm trying to forget but go on.

0:30:100:30:13

It was allegedly a prize for bedding a Latvian woman

0:30:130:30:15

seven times in one night.

0:30:150:30:17

That definitely, definitely is not true. I promise you.

0:30:170:30:23

-A can of 7 Up, did you say?

-Yeah. That was the prize.

0:30:230:30:27

What kind of game is this?

0:30:270:30:30

Right, from Nigel's sex life, let's get back to numbers.

0:30:310:30:34

-Does anyone know the most popular pin code?

-1-2-3-4.

0:30:340:30:38

Damn!

0:30:380:30:39

Bearing in mind...

0:30:390:30:41

those four digits are arrangeable in 10,000 different ways

0:30:410:30:44

and 1-2-3-4 is the most popular.

0:30:440:30:46

The fifth most popular pin code is 7-7-7-7.

0:30:460:30:51

"22 has always been something as a number.

0:30:530:30:56

"It meant a great deal to me when I was growing up in Geneva."

0:30:560:31:00

This is a study which found

0:31:010:31:03

that the most popular favourite number is seven.

0:31:030:31:05

According to the survey:

0:31:050:31:08

So perhaps 110 should try harder next time.

0:31:110:31:13

It needs to give, I don't know,

0:31:130:31:14

a certain amount of percent more effort.

0:31:140:31:16

Time now for the Odd One Out round.

0:31:180:31:21

Paul and Nigel, your four are:

0:31:210:31:23

Gay marriage. Sheep.

0:31:230:31:26

Alan Titchmarsh.

0:31:260:31:27

And Noah.

0:31:270:31:29

Well, I think that given that UKIP

0:31:290:31:33

is the butt of virtually every joke this evening,

0:31:330:31:37

-er, there has to be...

-Oh, that's unfair. Only in this studio!

0:31:370:31:41

Very good.

0:31:430:31:44

Gay marriage. Do you remember all those gales we had,

0:31:440:31:47

and all the rain and everything? I mean, it was bad weather!

0:31:470:31:51

And I'm not saying that I agree with him, but, er...

0:31:510:31:54

the UKIP chap said...

0:31:540:31:57

that if we had gay marriage, we would get terrible weather events

0:31:570:32:03

-of Biblical proportions.

-Yeah.

0:32:030:32:06

Meaning floods.

0:32:060:32:08

Alan Titchmarsh was involved in a big row because people were digging up

0:32:080:32:12

their lawns and building, you know, terraces and patios,

0:32:120:32:15

and there was a big debate

0:32:150:32:16

as to whether that was contributing towards floods or not.

0:32:160:32:20

And the sheep thing, it was in Wales,

0:32:200:32:22

which it always is with sheep, isn't it?

0:32:220:32:25

And there's a chap who writes for the Guardian,

0:32:250:32:28

called George Monbiot,

0:32:280:32:30

and he says that sheep grazing all the hills

0:32:300:32:34

and compacting all the soil, have led to floods.

0:32:340:32:37

And Noah, of course, built a boat to avoid floods.

0:32:370:32:40

So Noah's the odd one out because the others have all predicted

0:32:400:32:43

how floods would come about and Noah sailed away on a flood.

0:32:430:32:46

Is the right answer.

0:32:460:32:48

APPLAUSE

0:32:480:32:50

-Well done.

-Yeah.

0:32:500:32:51

I knew it had to be. I mean...

0:32:510:32:55

-had to be.

-Yes, they've all been blamed for the flooding,

0:32:550:32:58

apart from Noah, who wasn't. Having been spared

0:32:580:33:01

from the floods due to his lack of wickedness,

0:33:010:33:03

what did Noah do once the Ark had landed?

0:33:030:33:05

He got drunk.

0:33:050:33:07

-He did!

-And he was punished by, er...

0:33:070:33:10

much later, a film being made.

0:33:100:33:12

With Russell Crowe playing him.

0:33:140:33:17

With a sort of Irish/Hebrew accent.

0:33:170:33:20

Go on, give us a flavour of it.

0:33:200:33:22

-IMITATES CROWE AS NOAH:

-Where are those two elephants gone now?!

0:33:240:33:27

APPLAUSE

0:33:310:33:33

Very good.

0:33:350:33:36

Yes. What did the Queen say to Titchmarsh when he got his MBE?

0:33:360:33:40

"Put that ashtray back!"

0:33:400:33:42

According to Al, Her Majesty said:

0:33:440:33:46

UKIP councillor David Silvester blamed the recent storms and floods

0:33:500:33:54

on the Government's decision to legalise gay marriage.

0:33:540:33:56

If David Silvester really knows his Bible,

0:33:560:33:58

he'll also have read the Book of Exodus, where God threatens:

0:33:580:34:02

And if there's one thing UKIP hates more than gays...

0:34:040:34:07

That is quite funny.

0:34:130:34:15

Ian and Roisin, here are yours.

0:34:170:34:19

A clean-shaven Russian during the time of Peter the Great,

0:34:190:34:22

Chesty Love, Chris Moyles and ABBA.

0:34:220:34:26

I think this is about tax avoidance.

0:34:260:34:28

Chris Moyles set up a used car company

0:34:280:34:31

-to try and funnel his earnings.

-He sold used cars.

0:34:310:34:34

-He said he was actually a salesman, didn't he?

-Used car dealer.

0:34:340:34:38

ABBA avoided paying tax by having amazing costumes,

0:34:380:34:42

cos in Denmark, business wear was considered an expense.

0:34:420:34:46

In Sweden.

0:34:460:34:48

Oh, right. Yeah, wherever.

0:34:480:34:49

Haven't you got anything to say about Chesty what's-her-name?

0:34:510:34:54

-Chesty Love.

-Chesty Love.

-I have no recollection of her.

0:34:540:34:56

And he hasn't got a beard, there was a tax on beards. Help me out!

0:35:010:35:05

Who's she?

0:35:050:35:06

Oh, look at me and you think, "She'll know who Chesty Love is."

0:35:060:35:09

-I have no idea!

-They've all avoided paying tax and she paid.

0:35:110:35:17

-Paid lots.

-You've got the right reason, but the wrong odd one out.

0:35:170:35:21

Well, they've all changed their appearance,

0:35:210:35:23

is the answer, to pay less tax.

0:35:230:35:25

Apart from Chris Moyles, who changed his job to pay less tax.

0:35:250:35:29

Chris, along with 450 fund managers, celebs and other high earners

0:35:290:35:32

had signed up to a tax avoidance scheme called...

0:35:320:35:35

Which lead to Moyles' claim he'd spent a year...

0:35:380:35:41

According to the judge, Chris claimed he'd sold

0:35:440:35:47

around £3,800 worth of vehicles but had run up...

0:35:470:35:50

The outlandish costumes ABBA wore at the peak of their fame were

0:35:550:35:58

designed for tax efficiency.

0:35:580:35:59

Do you know how it worked, the tax efficiency in costumes?

0:35:590:36:02

If they couldn't possibly be worn in everyday life.

0:36:020:36:06

Is absolutely right, yes.

0:36:060:36:08

Swedish law states that clothes were deductible

0:36:080:36:10

if their owners could prove they were not suitable for daily wear.

0:36:100:36:13

Look at Paul, I mean...

0:36:130:36:15

Former Page 3 girl and exotic dancer Chesty Love

0:36:200:36:23

enjoyed her 15 minutes of fame when she successfully ardigued...

0:36:230:36:26

Oh, Christ.

0:36:260:36:27

Just the mention of Chesty Love, I've gone to pieces.

0:36:290:36:32

Former Page girl...

0:36:320:36:33

Former Page 3 girl

0:36:370:36:39

and exotic dancer Chesty Love enjoyed her 15 minutes of fame

0:36:390:36:43

when she successfully argued

0:36:430:36:44

that her breast implants were tax deductible. Here she is.

0:36:440:36:48

Good news, Chris Moyles - turns out massive tits can avoid tax.

0:36:500:36:54

They have all changed their appearance to pay less tax,

0:36:550:36:58

apart from Chris Moyles, who changed his job

0:36:580:37:00

and claimed he was a used car dealer.

0:37:000:37:02

American stripper Chesty Love successfully claimed

0:37:020:37:05

for her breast implants against tax.

0:37:050:37:06

She ended up with a bra size of...

0:37:060:37:08

To give you some idea of how big that is,

0:37:110:37:13

56N is literally a night bus.

0:37:130:37:17

Time now for the Missing Words Round,

0:37:210:37:23

which this week features as its guest publication

0:37:230:37:25

Norfolk On My Mind.

0:37:250:37:28

It's at the same time both free

0:37:280:37:30

and overpriced.

0:37:300:37:33

We start with:

0:37:340:37:35

What?

0:37:400:37:41

"Have you ever thought of tossing yourself off?"

0:37:410:37:44

Max Miller lives!

0:37:500:37:52

It is a Max Miller joke, absolutely. 1943.

0:37:520:37:55

Next...

0:38:000:38:02

Optimism!

0:38:050:38:06

People who've been to Norfolk.

0:38:070:38:10

Given the theme of tonight, "UKIP voters", it could be, couldn't it?

0:38:110:38:14

Close.

0:38:140:38:16

APPLAUSE

0:38:210:38:23

Scientists are searching for microbes in Yorkshire

0:38:240:38:26

which they believe could show humans

0:38:260:38:28

are descended from Martian life forms. Next...

0:38:280:38:30

Norfolk!

0:38:330:38:34

Debbie McGee.

0:38:340:38:36

That's magic.

0:38:360:38:37

-Norfolk!

-Yes!

0:38:430:38:45

-We said Norfolk.

-And the answer is...Great Yarmouth.

0:38:450:38:48

I used to go on holiday to Great Yarmouth.

0:38:480:38:50

This is from an interview in Norfolk On My Mind,

0:38:500:38:52

in which Paul Daniels reveals...

0:38:520:38:54

Oh, for you as well, Paul?

0:38:570:38:58

Next...

0:39:000:39:01

ROISIN: With her own faeces.

0:39:040:39:05

The answer is:

0:39:080:39:10

Finally:

0:39:140:39:15

And now I can't put my trousers on or pronounce the letter W.

0:39:190:39:22

This is Michael Smith's postgraduate study

0:39:310:39:34

in which he deliberately provoked bees to sting him

0:39:340:39:37

all over his body. He said:

0:39:370:39:39

No-one's forcing you, you weirdo!

0:39:470:39:50

-I don't think bees give you a choice.

-No!

-"Which one?"

0:39:520:39:55

He did, he got bees, he held them,

0:39:570:39:58

he stung each place four times and he says the inside of the nose

0:39:580:40:02

is apparently the most painful place on the body.

0:40:020:40:04

The penis comes fourth.

0:40:040:40:05

Always.

0:40:050:40:07

So, the final scores are...

0:40:090:40:12

Nigel and Paul have six points,

0:40:120:40:15

but sneaking up and winning,

0:40:150:40:16

it's Roisin and Ian with seven points!

0:40:160:40:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:190:40:21

But before we go, there's just time for the caption competition.

0:40:270:40:31

"Why does the loony on the bus always come and sit next to me?"

0:40:320:40:35

Boris Johnson's disguise is rumbled.

0:40:380:40:41

And I leave you with news that

0:40:420:40:43

after a long, drunken night out with friends,

0:40:430:40:46

William Hague tries to sneak back into the office...

0:40:460:40:49

..in Westminster, as part of their induction course,

0:40:540:40:57

the new batch of Conservative interns are sent to find out

0:40:570:41:00

how ordinary people travel to work...

0:41:000:41:02

..and at a political gathering in Bournemouth,

0:41:060:41:09

after desperately trying to find a toilet,

0:41:090:41:11

Nick Clegg picks an opportune moment to urinate from a balcony.

0:41:110:41:14

Good night.

0:41:180:41:20

-GEORDIE ACCENT:

-47 for me was literally a life saver.
