APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:240:00:28

Good evening, welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:370:00:40

I'm Martin Clunes.

0:00:400:00:42

In the news this week,

0:00:420:00:43

as the BBC introduces a "bring your pet to work" day,

0:00:430:00:46

one employee makes regular checks on Sammy the hamster.

0:00:460:00:49

NO AUDIO ON CLIP

0:00:490:00:52

The head of BBC Drama brings in a new voice coach

0:01:020:01:05

for the cast of Jamaica Inn.

0:01:050:01:06

WAILING

0:01:060:01:10

HOWLING

0:01:120:01:14

HOWLING

0:01:160:01:19

And as Richard Branson prepares to start his Virgin Galactic service,

0:01:190:01:22

rival engineers at Ryanair

0:01:220:01:24

attempt to launch their first customer into space.

0:01:240:01:26

On Ian's team tonight is a comedian who's always got

0:01:320:01:35

a pint in his hand and is known for his unhinged angry rants.

0:01:350:01:38

In fact, if he didn't love Benidorm so much, he could be Nigel Farage.

0:01:380:01:43

Please welcome Johnny Vegas.

0:01:430:01:45

APPLAUSE

0:01:450:01:47

And with Paul tonight is a political correspondent who started out at the BBC

0:01:510:01:55

with special responsibility for Breakfast.

0:01:550:01:57

She was the one who had to put the shredded wheat on Andrew Neil's head.

0:01:570:02:01

Please welcome Jo Coburn.

0:02:010:02:04

APPLAUSE

0:02:040:02:06

And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:090:02:12

Paul and Jo, take a look at this.

0:02:120:02:14

-Blimey.

-Speak up!

0:02:140:02:15

Yes, your ear trumpet, man.

0:02:150:02:18

Oh, yes, this is probably Cornwall.

0:02:180:02:19

This is the BBC show, Jamaica Inn, which I didn't see,

0:02:190:02:22

but a lot of people didn't hear, apparently.

0:02:220:02:25

They had more complaints about this, the BBC,

0:02:250:02:28

-than they've had about anything else for a very long time.

-Yes.

0:02:280:02:32

So whether it was 1,500 people's TV sets that weren't working

0:02:320:02:36

-or it was technical problems.

-Shall we have a little look?

0:02:360:02:39

There's a bunch of petticoats here to see you.

0:02:400:02:44

Joss, we've gone to hell.

0:02:440:02:47

Salt and the twins have been busted. Legassik caught them.

0:02:470:02:50

MUMBLING

0:02:520:02:54

An ordinary man.

0:02:540:02:56

INDISTINCT SINGING

0:02:580:03:01

-Johnny.

-There you go.

0:03:040:03:06

APPLAUSE

0:03:060:03:08

That's the only job I got via a casting.

0:03:100:03:13

MUMBLES

0:03:130:03:15

Do you mind working topless?

0:03:170:03:19

MUMBLES

0:03:190:03:21

To be fair, this was set in an era before sound recording was available.

0:03:210:03:25

But they did mumble all the way through it.

0:03:250:03:30

And the Beeb said at first it was a technical problem,

0:03:300:03:32

then number two went out and I watched it

0:03:320:03:34

and I couldn't hear any of it.

0:03:340:03:36

They said they turned it up for the second episode.

0:03:360:03:38

There's been some great letters in the paper.

0:03:380:03:40

Adrian Whitely had a pithy comment on the Jamaica Inn drama.

0:03:400:03:42

And Martin Davies, who is actually from Cornwall,

0:03:490:03:51

had a completely different gripe altogether.

0:03:510:03:53

-Surely it's Dominus Regit Me?

-Whatever.

0:04:100:04:14

What else has Cornwall been in the news for lately?

0:04:140:04:19

It's gone independent.

0:04:190:04:21

Yes, a spokesman for the Cornish National Liberation Army said...

0:04:210:04:24

HE MUMBLES

0:04:240:04:26

Let's not forget how the Sun referred to CNLA as the...

0:04:260:04:31

This is the BBC drama Jamaica Inn which many viewers complained was inaudible.

0:04:390:04:44

People of Cornwall have been officially recognised as a UK minority.

0:04:440:04:48

-According to The Telegraph, the decision...

-HE STUMBLES ON WORD

0:04:480:04:51

-PAUL IMITATES: Decisssion!...

-Yes!

0:04:510:04:53

According to the Telegraph, the decision means...

0:04:560:04:58

HE STUMBLES AGAIN

0:04:580:05:01

I'm going bad now!

0:05:010:05:04

According to The Telegraph, the decision means...

0:05:040:05:07

Which means they can now be shot with impunity by the Metropolitan police.

0:05:110:05:15

The fact that the Cornish language is now on a par with wealth...

0:05:170:05:21

PAUL: Wealth! You have become Shakespearean!

0:05:210:05:24

Shut yer face! I'll have a drink of water.

0:05:240:05:27

The fact that the Cornish lang...

0:05:290:05:32

You make me feel really good about being me.

0:05:320:05:36

That's why I'm doing it!

0:05:360:05:38

The fact that the Cornish language is now on a par with Welsh,

0:05:380:05:41

Irish and Scots was described as fantastic by Scornish nationals...!

0:05:410:05:45

APPLAUSE

0:05:460:05:49

That was a Freudian cock, slip.

0:05:520:05:56

The fact that the Cornish language is now on a par with Welsh, Irish

0:05:560:05:59

and Scots was described as fantastic by Cornish nationalist leader Dick Cole.

0:05:590:06:03

That's a funny name in any language.

0:06:050:06:07

Ian and Johnny, here's another for you.

0:06:070:06:11

Oh, this is Farage, unveiling his new poster campaign.

0:06:110:06:15

It's going to be gloomy. Floods.

0:06:150:06:18

And there's the average UKIP voter.

0:06:180:06:22

And news has arrived. The Second World War has broken out.

0:06:230:06:27

There's some posters and they caused a lot of trouble.

0:06:270:06:31

One of the election leaflets had a girl in it saying,

0:06:310:06:34

"I'm an ordinary voter from Devon and I vote UKIP"

0:06:340:06:37

and it turned out she worked for Farage as his assistant.

0:06:370:06:41

And she was paid.

0:06:410:06:43

-There's one with a pointy finger, isn't there?

-We've got it here.

0:06:430:06:46

JO: Yes, immigrants are taking jobs from British workers.

0:06:460:06:50

Taking bogies from the end of British fingers.

0:06:500:06:54

Is it the lottery?

0:06:540:06:56

There's someone going to vote UKIP, it could be you.

0:06:560:06:59

That did raise the question about Nigel Farage's German wife

0:07:010:07:05

and whether or not a Brit could do her job of being his secretary.

0:07:050:07:10

To be honest, it's not a job a lot of British people would want.

0:07:100:07:14

We've got a clip with Nick Robinson, it's really good.

0:07:140:07:17

You try to turn everything into a joke.

0:07:170:07:19

You have a campaign that says that Europeans are taking British jobs.

0:07:190:07:23

-Yes.

-You employ a German woman to work in your office.

0:07:230:07:27

She happens to be your wife.

0:07:270:07:29

She happens to spend many hundreds of thousands of British taxpayers' money.

0:07:290:07:33

How do you justify that?

0:07:330:07:35

No, she doesn't, she earns a very modest salary,

0:07:350:07:37

for working extremely unsociable hours for me.

0:07:370:07:39

So why isn't she taking a British person's job?

0:07:390:07:42

Because nobody else could do that job.

0:07:420:07:44

No British person could work for you as your secretary?

0:07:440:07:47

Not unless I marry them.

0:07:470:07:48

You don't think anybody is capable of doing that job?

0:07:480:07:51

-What, marrying me?

-No, doing the job as your secretary.

0:07:510:07:54

I don't know anybody who would work those kind of hours.

0:07:540:07:57

So that's it, it's clear, UKIP do not believe that any British person

0:07:570:08:00

is capable of being the secretary of their leader.

0:08:000:08:03

That's nonsense, and you know it.

0:08:030:08:05

That sounds like me trying to excuse the use of prostitutes.

0:08:100:08:14

-Enlighten us.

-Or don't.

0:08:170:08:20

The threat to some English people's jobs

0:08:220:08:24

encourage some British people to work even harder

0:08:240:08:26

and get versions like this of the poster up on Twitter.

0:08:260:08:30

JO: Which job would you rather do?

0:08:340:08:36

-Be Nigel Farage's secretary of the new manager of Manchester United?

-Me?

0:08:360:08:41

Yeah.

0:08:410:08:43

LAUGHTER

0:08:430:08:45

No-brainer, as they say.

0:08:490:08:51

"Dear Nigel..."

0:08:510:08:53

How did the founder of the UKIP party, Dr Alan Sked,

0:08:550:08:58

recently describe Nigel Farage?

0:08:580:09:01

A drunken imbecile.

0:09:010:09:03

He was into his real ale, he was more of a ladies' man.

0:09:030:09:06

No, they described him as...

0:09:060:09:08

LAUGHTER

0:09:080:09:10

-Hang on, I did have a backup answer.

-Let's have it.

0:09:100:09:14

A prick!

0:09:140:09:17

They described him as...

0:09:170:09:19

Which is coincidentally the B-side of Young, Gifted And Black.

0:09:210:09:25

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:250:09:29

How well is Neil Hamilton doing as UKIP's campaign manager?

0:09:300:09:35

-Well, he's not because he's been demoted.

-Has he?

0:09:350:09:38

They thought it was embarrassing Neil Hamilton,

0:09:380:09:40

the disgraced former Tory MP who took the cash for questions

0:09:400:09:44

-in the Commons from Al-Fayed... Remember?

-Yes, I do.

0:09:440:09:48

I hate to bring up all that stuff again.

0:09:480:09:50

Apparently they thought it was slightly embarrassing for a party

0:09:500:09:53

that is about to apparently sweep the country

0:09:530:09:55

that its treasurer should be so obviously a bit bent.

0:09:550:10:00

In the past.

0:10:000:10:02

And...

0:10:030:10:05

So he's not the campaign manager any more?

0:10:050:10:09

According to a spokesman...

0:10:090:10:11

And also, they realised he was a bit of a tosser.

0:10:170:10:20

In other European news what's just been launched in Portugal?

0:10:200:10:23

A new grape!

0:10:230:10:24

The Portuguese Navy unveiled its new state of the art surveillance drone

0:10:260:10:29

at a naval base in Lisbon. Let's see how that went.

0:10:290:10:32

This is UKIP's new poster campaign which is full of outrageous claims.

0:10:380:10:42

It emerged that a woman posing as a voter in UKIP's manifesto

0:10:420:10:46

was a certain Lizzy Vaid, who is, in fact, the...

0:10:460:10:49

Basically, she arranges the lock-ins and books the strippers.

0:10:510:10:54

LAUGHTER

0:10:540:10:55

The UKIP founder gave an interview in which he described Mr Farage as...

0:10:550:11:01

Adding, "You've got the job!"

0:11:030:11:06

Neil Hamilton has been demoted as UKIP's campaign director.

0:11:060:11:09

Some UKIP members see him as...

0:11:090:11:12

That's no way to talk about Christine.

0:11:150:11:17

Paul and Jo, take a look at this.

0:11:180:11:21

-It's a bar.

-It's a bar, definitely a bar. There's a tough guy.

0:11:210:11:23

Oh, yes. There's less fighting going on in Britain,

0:11:230:11:26

although this clip would say otherwise,

0:11:260:11:28

but of course that's the Wild West in 1943.

0:11:280:11:30

There's a happy doctor. So yes, people are drinking less alcohol

0:11:300:11:33

so there's less violence on a Saturday night is the story, I think.

0:11:330:11:36

It is. People can't afford to get pissed I think, isn't it, these days.

0:11:360:11:40

-Is that the technical term?

-Yes.

0:11:400:11:43

Anybody here drinking less?

0:11:430:11:45

Put that down.

0:11:450:11:46

LAUGHTER

0:11:460:11:49

Someone's put water in it!

0:11:490:11:51

-It could be that alcohol is more expensive.

-Hmm.

0:11:510:11:54

That was one of the reasons.

0:11:540:11:55

They said deliberately making the price of, say,

0:11:550:11:58

a six pack of cider, I gather, erm...

0:11:580:12:01

LAUGHTER

0:12:010:12:03

..more expensive puts people off.

0:12:030:12:06

And so the government was going to make minimum pricing,

0:12:060:12:09

but they've changed their mind.

0:12:090:12:10

A lot of the big drinks companies took them out for a pint

0:12:100:12:16

and they changed their mind completely.

0:12:160:12:18

But that could be it. There are a lot of possibles, aren't there?

0:12:180:12:21

I thought we might have adopted a more European approach to alcohol.

0:12:210:12:25

You know you go out and just savour it and just enjoy it?

0:12:250:12:28

But the other night I genuinely saw a bloke arguing with his wife

0:12:280:12:32

and he said, "That's why you can't keep a budgie in a round cage,

0:12:320:12:36

"you silly bitch.

0:12:360:12:39

"They need corners." And she said, "Well, what's wrong with parrots?"

0:12:390:12:42

This is genuine.

0:12:420:12:43

And he went, "Parrots can talk, budgies need solace."

0:12:430:12:47

And then he punched a wall.

0:12:490:12:52

-There was another theory about lead poisoning.

-Yes.

-I like that one.

0:12:520:12:56

Apparently if you had or when you had lead in petrol it made people

0:12:560:13:00

go in for the fisticuffs, like your example, more often.

0:13:000:13:03

Why are we still using pencils?

0:13:030:13:05

They'd be hard to give up.

0:13:070:13:09

I've got a pen.

0:13:100:13:12

The hard stuff.

0:13:120:13:15

A study at the University of Cardiff found that...

0:13:150:13:18

To two.

0:13:230:13:25

Now, have you heard of this American technological

0:13:260:13:29

breakthrough that might help to bring the price of alcohol down

0:13:290:13:32

and get everyone back punching each other properly?

0:13:320:13:34

Powdered alcohol. Or to give it its correct name...

0:13:340:13:37

I shit you not.

0:13:390:13:42

Just mix with beer.

0:13:420:13:43

According to the manufacturer's website...

0:13:440:13:47

And what do you think the people from the Civitas think tank

0:14:060:14:10

think in their think tank?

0:14:100:14:14

We need a bigger tank.

0:14:140:14:16

Why are we working in a tank? We're bright.

0:14:160:14:19

-More booze.

-Yeah.

0:14:190:14:21

Spokesman David Green told the Times...

0:14:210:14:23

Twat.

0:14:360:14:39

And our leader David Cameron, he'd probably agree with that,

0:14:390:14:42

do you think? What do you think? Why? Would he?

0:14:420:14:44

-He says we're a Christian country.

-Yes.

-And that shocked people.

0:14:440:14:48

No, cynics would say there's an election round the corner.

0:14:480:14:51

Let's break the Alastair Campbell diktat and do God.

0:14:510:14:54

Get those churchgoers who might convert to UKIP

0:14:540:14:57

back in the Tory fold.

0:14:570:14:59

It's quite mean to suggest they're going to convert to UKIP.

0:14:590:15:01

I mean, they're not ENTIRELY gullible.

0:15:010:15:04

We are a Christian country, aren't we?

0:15:080:15:10

Yeah, more or less, culturally, historically.

0:15:100:15:12

Look at all the people that couldn't give a shit about God

0:15:120:15:15

-sitting their with the kids.

-Yeah.

0:15:150:15:16

Every Sunday trying to get them into a decent school.

0:15:160:15:19

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:15:190:15:21

Who wrote this about David Cameron's theolog...

0:15:240:15:27

Sod it, I'll start this again.

0:15:270:15:29

Who wrote this about David Cameron's theologism? Theologis...

0:15:290:15:32

Theologis...

0:15:320:15:34

Beliefs.

0:15:340:15:35

Yeah.

0:15:350:15:37

Who wrote this about David Cameron's ideas?

0:15:370:15:41

LAUGHTER

0:15:410:15:43

And I quote...

0:15:430:15:44

And the problem is?

0:15:530:15:55

-That's Alastair Campbell.

-Yeah, it is.

-Is it?

0:15:550:15:59

Don't do God.

0:15:590:16:00

Just giving Satan's view for balance!

0:16:000:16:03

Going back to alcohol-related violence, um...

0:16:050:16:09

More fun.

0:16:090:16:10

Would you like to see a very drunk man behaving quite harmlessly?

0:16:100:16:13

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Here he is.

0:16:130:16:15

He's trying to get to the other side of the fence.

0:16:170:16:20

He can't get through it.

0:16:220:16:23

He can't get over it.

0:16:260:16:28

And a little boy comes back from the shops...

0:16:320:16:34

LAUGHTER

0:16:360:16:39

APPLAUSE

0:16:440:16:47

This is the drop in violent crime which has been attributed to

0:16:480:16:52

a fall in binge drinking.

0:16:520:16:53

Also in the news this week, a new powdered alcohol called Palcohol.

0:16:530:16:56

According to the Times...

0:16:560:16:58

Sadly too late for David Moyes.

0:17:000:17:03

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:17:030:17:05

Also in the news this week,

0:17:080:17:09

David Cameron has declared Britain is a Christian country

0:17:090:17:12

and reasserted his faith at an Easter reception

0:17:120:17:14

for Christian leaders,

0:17:140:17:15

leaving many in the congregation shaking their heads and asking,

0:17:150:17:18

"What's this got to do with bunnies and chocolate?"

0:17:180:17:21

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:210:17:23

Ian and Johnny, here's another for you.

0:17:230:17:26

Ed Miliband.

0:17:280:17:30

Is he looking into a mirror?

0:17:300:17:32

And that's his new spin doctor, David Axelrod.

0:17:320:17:36

He's an American they brought over.

0:17:360:17:38

He's an election guru, and he's being paid, apparently,

0:17:380:17:41

a six-figure sum, because there's no English or British people

0:17:410:17:45

who could get Miliband elected.

0:17:450:17:46

It's a highly specialist skill. Apparently he's brilliant.

0:17:460:17:51

I mean, first black president ever - Obama.

0:17:510:17:54

First...

0:17:540:17:56

Ed Milibandy kind of guy to get in.

0:17:560:18:00

Er...he's going to get elected. So it's very exciting, isn't it?

0:18:000:18:04

Well, they're not alone, though, are they?

0:18:040:18:06

It's the battle of the election gurus.

0:18:060:18:08

The Tories have already got the Australian guy, Lynton Crosby,

0:18:080:18:12

-and the Liberal Democrats have got one as well.

-Have they?

0:18:120:18:15

-Yeah.

-Lord Haw-Haw?

0:18:150:18:17

No!

0:18:170:18:18

Everyone said it's going to be really unpleasant,

0:18:180:18:21

because apparently this man's skill is negative campaigning,

0:18:210:18:24

so instead of saying, "My guy is great," you know, which with Ed...

0:18:240:18:28

you know, might be difficult...

0:18:280:18:31

He's going to say, "Your guys are posh and rich and... Eurgh."

0:18:310:18:37

Because he wanted an end to Punch and Judy politics, didn't he?

0:18:370:18:40

Ed Miliband.

0:18:400:18:42

You would, if you looked like him and clapped like that...

0:18:420:18:46

"You've lost the election, but you've won a big string of sausages."

0:18:460:18:50

There's a picture here

0:18:560:18:57

of the moment when Mr Axelrod told Barack Obama

0:18:570:19:00

that he was going to make Ed Miliband Prime Minister.

0:19:000:19:03

According to the Daily Mail, Mr Axelrod said...

0:19:060:19:09

Little bit of help from Mr Axelrod,

0:19:160:19:18

Miliband should be able to do that on May the 6th next year.

0:19:180:19:22

According to David Axelrod's campaign staff,

0:19:220:19:25

he's a messy eater. Staff say that in the past...

0:19:250:19:27

And he also addressed a large meeting...

0:19:320:19:35

The thing is, all of the election gurus have got a big job on their hands, haven't they?

0:19:410:19:46

Challenging.

0:19:460:19:48

I love the fact they've all come in to offer

0:19:480:19:51

advice on tapping into the common touch.

0:19:510:19:55

Surely that comes from actually giving a shit.

0:19:550:19:58

The fact that you've got to have someone advise you on how to

0:19:590:20:02

care about people is a disturbing enough...

0:20:020:20:07

..prospect in the first place.

0:20:070:20:09

This is based on the idea that politics is about electing

0:20:090:20:12

someone who would be great to go down the pub with, an ordinary guy who

0:20:120:20:15

would be good and have a beer and you know who is going to vote that way.

0:20:150:20:21

You're right. I'm standing!

0:20:210:20:25

Do we want someone who knows what they're doing?

0:20:250:20:27

Who would you have as UKIP's election guru to give them advice?

0:20:270:20:32

Paul Daniels!

0:20:320:20:35

Meanwhile, in Scottish independence news,

0:20:370:20:39

-who has been drafted in to help the...

-Gordon Brown.

0:20:390:20:41

..struggling Better Together campaign?

0:20:410:20:43

-Gordon Brown.

-Yes.

-He's going to come in and enthuse everybody.

0:20:430:20:46

THEY SCOFF

0:20:460:20:47

Papers say he's still popular up in Scotland,

0:20:470:20:49

with certain sections of the population.

0:20:490:20:52

-Mm.

-The midges.

0:20:520:20:53

APPLAUSE

0:20:550:20:57

Any other Scotsmen had a bad week this week?

0:20:590:21:02

Well, David Moyes hasn't has a good week!

0:21:020:21:04

That's the answer to the question!

0:21:040:21:06

-Oh, well done.

-Have a point.

-Yay!

0:21:060:21:08

-So, what's he done wrong?

-He hasn't won.

-And is that his fault?

0:21:080:21:12

-What about the players?

-No, it's... The players haven't played as well.

0:21:120:21:17

It often happens when a big manager goes,

0:21:170:21:20

whoever comes in next doesn't succeed.

0:21:200:21:23

The next person will have an easier job of following David Moyes.

0:21:230:21:26

Perhaps I could do that.

0:21:260:21:29

Why don't you turn up and have a talk and see if anyone throws you out?

0:21:290:21:33

You, Rooney. Play better!

0:21:330:21:37

-Motivation speaking.

-You get lots of money, just kick it!

0:21:370:21:40

Somebody's going to step in as a sort of caretaker. Do you know...?

0:21:420:21:46

-Ryan Giggs.

-Yes.

-Even I know that.

0:21:460:21:47

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Are you allowed to say his name in public?

0:21:470:21:50

Oh...

0:21:500:21:52

I don't know...

0:21:520:21:53

Super injunction.

0:21:530:21:56

Rather you than me.

0:21:560:21:57

I mean...

0:21:570:21:59

Andy Gibbons tweeted...

0:21:590:22:00

Who's not interested in that job, do you know?

0:22:080:22:11

-Oh, is it Sir Bruce?

-Madrid.

0:22:110:22:14

-It's Jurgen Klopp.

-Oh.

-He's ruled himself out,

0:22:140:22:18

but he's asked if his brother Klippety could be considered.

0:22:180:22:21

That went better than I thought.

0:22:260:22:28

Who might be stepping in to buy Manchester United? Ian.

0:22:300:22:33

It's for sale, is it? Tell us.

0:22:360:22:38

David Beckham and a consortium of ex-footballers have stepped up

0:22:380:22:43

so maybe they will buy it.

0:22:430:22:45

There is a tradition of ex-footballers rescuing businesses.

0:22:450:22:49

Danny Mills used to play for Leeds United.

0:22:490:22:52

He's rescued the West Cornwall Pasty Company.

0:22:520:22:56

And a spokesman for the West Cornwall Pasty Company said...

0:22:560:23:00

HE MUTTERS

0:23:000:23:01

This is Ed Miliband's hiring of legendary American campaign guru

0:23:050:23:09

David Axelrod.

0:23:090:23:10

Let's hope his rather disappointing brother

0:23:100:23:12

Ed Axelrod doesn't turn up instead.

0:23:120:23:15

Gordon Brown's given a speech this week warning of a pension time bomb

0:23:160:23:20

if Scotland goes independent.

0:23:200:23:21

According to the Guardian...

0:23:210:23:23

And the other two thirds will just look it.

0:23:260:23:29

Another 10% goes.

0:23:310:23:33

Ryan Giggs reckons he has what it takes to be the next manager.

0:23:350:23:38

Talking about the younger players in the reserve team, he says...

0:23:380:23:41

Well, you would, if you've jumped their mothers, wouldn't you?

0:23:430:23:45

At the end of that round it's four points each.

0:23:510:23:54

I need some help from the nurse.

0:24:020:24:04

I am so relieved, I thought I'd imagined that.

0:24:060:24:08

-Where did you get that from?

-OK?

-Yes. Nice man.

0:24:120:24:17

APPLAUSE

0:24:170:24:19

And so to Round Two, the Gramophone of News.

0:24:190:24:22

Here are some stories this week with a historical bent.

0:24:220:24:25

I'm going to give you a clue using the Gramophone of News.

0:24:250:24:29

ALL: Ooh!

0:24:290:24:32

Twat. Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:24:320:24:35

-Here's the first one.

-Yeah.

0:24:350:24:37

MUSIC: "One Morning in May" by Stanley Black

0:24:370:24:40

COCKEREL CROWS

0:24:400:24:41

BUZZER

0:24:420:24:44

-Who's that?

-That was me.

-Oh, well done.

0:24:440:24:47

Suntan bed's ready. Erm...

0:24:480:24:51

That's Pathe News.

0:24:530:24:54

Pathe News - they made these newsreels for about 40, 50 years,

0:24:540:24:58

they've released the whole lot online, I think.

0:24:580:25:00

So everything that Pathe News ever did is now available to see.

0:25:000:25:04

Absolutely right. 85,000 newsreels onto YouTube.

0:25:040:25:08

-God, that's going to take me ages.

-I was going to say, "..to download!"

0:25:080:25:11

Let's have a look at some of them.

0:25:110:25:13

What's Fanny Cradock going to do with this egg?

0:25:130:25:15

-She's going to slice it very thinly.

-She is.

0:25:150:25:17

You watch and learn.

0:25:170:25:19

-A swan?

-A swan egg.

0:25:190:25:21

It's a beautiful eggy swan.

0:25:210:25:24

Oh, yes.

0:25:240:25:26

-JO: Canapes have changed, haven't they?

-Yeah.

0:25:260:25:29

The Great British Drake Off.

0:25:290:25:31

SCATTERED LAUGHTER

0:25:310:25:33

Thank you very much.

0:25:330:25:35

-MARTIN: A drake's a duck.

-IAN: Yeah, I know.

0:25:350:25:37

What do you think he's getting ready to do?

0:25:370:25:39

JOHNNY: Is he going to conserve water by swallowing the toothpaste

0:25:390:25:43

and not spitting it out?

0:25:430:25:44

It's a war effort thing.

0:25:440:25:45

"Watch out, Hitler!

0:25:460:25:48

"We're swallowing our toothpaste this side of the Channel."

0:25:480:25:50

"Take that, Hermann Goerin'."

0:25:520:25:54

Well, let's see what he did next.

0:25:550:25:59

AUDIENCE GASPS

0:25:590:26:00

-JO: You're right, we'd never have guessed.

-You wouldn't would you?

0:26:000:26:03

You had to make your own entertainment in them days.

0:26:030:26:06

What do you think is about to happen to these dogs?

0:26:060:26:08

AUDIENCE: Ahh.

0:26:080:26:10

-The terrible things they're all thinking!

-Yes...

0:26:100:26:13

JO: Hot-air balloon?

0:26:130:26:15

JOHNNY: Does one of them get fed after midnight? And...

0:26:150:26:18

..lots of evil dogs are produced, and they trash their neighbourhood?

0:26:200:26:23

Let's have a look.

0:26:230:26:25

Blimey.

0:26:280:26:29

-How dignified(!)

-Yes.

0:26:290:26:31

The Pathe archive also includes footage

0:26:350:26:37

of Arnold Schwarzenegger's first performance.

0:26:370:26:39

Here he is playing Hamlet.

0:26:390:26:40

-PAUL AS SCHWARZENEGGER:

-"To be or not to be."

0:26:430:26:44

Here we go, back to the Gramophone of News, everyone.

0:26:440:26:47

-Gramophone of News!

-Fingers on your buzzers.

0:26:470:26:49

"Hail Macbeth, King of Scotland!"

0:26:490:26:52

BUZZER

0:26:520:26:53

-That's a bit of Macbeth.

-Mm.

-Is it?

0:26:530:26:55

-He said it!

-Yeah, "Hail Macbeth, King of Scotland."

0:26:550:26:58

-This is Shakespeare's birthday.

-Yes.

-Oh, I didn't get him anything.

0:26:580:27:02

What did you get him last year?

0:27:020:27:04

-Last year, the same as the year before that.

-Which was?

-A shroud!

0:27:040:27:08

Do you know what birthday it is?

0:27:090:27:11

450, is it?

0:27:110:27:12

Well done, yeah. Here's the Sun's celebration.

0:27:120:27:14

Helpfully summarised all 37 of his plays.

0:27:140:27:17

Here's Twelfth Night:

0:27:170:27:18

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:27:300:27:32

Here's Much Ado About Nothing:

0:27:350:27:37

There's an abridged version, what's this one?

0:27:390:27:42

-One of the history plays, presumably?

-Yes, smart arse! Which one?

0:27:450:27:50

-Richard II.

-Yes! Isn't he good?

0:27:500:27:52

Henry IV Part II.

0:27:590:28:01

Johnny, you played Bottom, didn't you? Who was Snug to your Bottom?

0:28:010:28:05

-Was it the monkey?

-Don't bring this up again!

0:28:050:28:08

We did this last time.

0:28:080:28:10

-I like him.

-Well, he's doing his own ads now. I've been edged out.

0:28:100:28:14

It's not even the fact that I'm not cutting-edge any more -

0:28:140:28:17

I'm bitter.

0:28:170:28:19

On top of that. You know what?

0:28:190:28:22

Love coffee.

0:28:220:28:23

On the subject of English literature,

0:28:280:28:31

I don't suppose you saw this letter from a pupil to his English teacher.

0:28:310:28:35

And this is what the student got back from the teacher.

0:29:010:29:04

With corrections. "Formal writing should not include profanity."

0:29:060:29:10

"Don't start a sentence with a conjunction."

0:29:120:29:14

And finally, "Please use your education appropriately.

0:29:150:29:18

"Proofreading takes five minutes and keeps you from looking stupid."

0:29:180:29:22

This is Shakespeare's 450th birthday.

0:29:280:29:30

Shakespeare is credited with enriching the English language with hundreds of phrases,

0:29:300:29:34

the most commonly used being, "Please, tell me there's an interval!"

0:29:340:29:38

Which means at the end of this round, it's

0:29:390:29:42

five points to both teams.

0:29:420:29:44

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:29:480:29:51

It's time now for the Odd One Out round. Your four are:

0:29:510:29:55

The Tramp, David Miliband,

0:29:550:29:57

Jack Straw, and Fusarium wilt.

0:29:570:29:59

-Er...

-Has David Miliband got a question mark on his head?

0:30:000:30:03

His mum put it there, cos she couldn't work out which was which.

0:30:030:30:06

It looks like he's been kicked by a tiny horse.

0:30:060:30:08

-Yeah. Woke up feeling a little

-hoarse.

-Wahey!

0:30:080:30:12

-Do you want a clue?

-Yes, please.

-There's yellow.

0:30:120:30:14

Is it Nick Clegg?

0:30:140:30:16

I can't think what yellow has to do with Chaplin's Tramp.

0:30:170:30:20

-The make-up or something he was wearing?

-A little more...

0:30:200:30:23

-It's bent and it's yellow.

-Bent and yellow?

-Bananas.

-Ah!

0:30:230:30:26

-Ah.

-Ah! David Miliband, of course,

0:30:260:30:29

didn't he trip on a banana, or...?

0:30:290:30:31

-He appeared with a banana.

-He appeared with a banana.

0:30:310:30:33

-That's right.

-And looked a bit silly.

-Yes.

0:30:330:30:35

They've all had an embarrassment with bananas

0:30:350:30:38

apart from the disease, which gets into bananas.

0:30:380:30:40

Yes!

0:30:400:30:41

-Yes.

-That's impossible!

0:30:450:30:47

Er, this week Jack Straw was photographed

0:30:470:30:51

eating a banana on the M6.

0:30:510:30:53

Here's the damning evidence.

0:30:550:30:57

According to The Sun he was spotted by prospective council

0:30:590:31:02

candidate Conservative Gus Rankin who claimed...

0:31:020:31:05

Although prospective council candidates

0:31:090:31:11

probably shouldn't be using their camera phones on the motorway

0:31:110:31:14

either and I'm not suggesting anything.

0:31:140:31:17

Jack Straw was obviously full of regret.

0:31:170:31:19

He told journalists:

0:31:190:31:20

And David Miliband famously faced ridicule

0:31:240:31:27

at the 2008 Labour Party conference

0:31:270:31:30

after being photographed with a 'nana.

0:31:300:31:32

Sorry, that's the wrong 'nana.

0:31:330:31:35

They've all got into trouble with a banana,

0:31:360:31:39

apart from Fusarium wilt, which is causing trouble FOR bananas.

0:31:390:31:42

According to Gert Kema,

0:31:420:31:44

who's the director of a banana research programme

0:31:440:31:46

at Wageningen University in the Netherlands,

0:31:460:31:49

it's critical that the banana disease is contained, as:

0:31:490:31:52

Apple?

0:31:550:31:57

According to The Telegraph,

0:31:570:31:59

since 2010, David Miliband's income from public speaking stands at...

0:31:590:32:05

Or, as Tony Blair put it, "Peanuts".

0:32:060:32:08

Charlie Chaplin was born in England and went to the States where

0:32:100:32:13

he was hugely successful and was loved by millions.

0:32:130:32:15

Take note, Piers Morgan.

0:32:150:32:17

Ian and Johnny, here are yours.

0:32:200:32:21

Tour de France volunteers,

0:32:210:32:23

Game of Thrones characters from the north of Westeros,

0:32:230:32:26

Wallace and Eric Pickles.

0:32:260:32:28

That was a crap film. Wallace And Eric Pickles!

0:32:280:32:31

Someone eats all the cheese in the first five minutes.

0:32:330:32:36

They're all wearing trousers.

0:32:370:32:40

I know I'm not the strongest partner to have in a quiz but...

0:32:420:32:47

Can we have a clue?

0:32:470:32:49

It's to do with sounding funny.

0:32:490:32:52

The top right man, he's the only one doing a karaoke night.

0:32:520:32:55

He's about to sing River Deep, Mountain High.

0:32:570:32:59

One of them, the odd one, isn't allowed to sound funny.

0:32:590:33:04

-Oh, he never says anything.

-He does. Talks all the time.

0:33:040:33:08

What do you do at Christmas?

0:33:080:33:10

-Drink.

-A six-pack of cider.

0:33:120:33:15

That's breakfast, Martin!

0:33:160:33:19

Yeah, somebody is suppressing the northern accent.

0:33:200:33:23

The ones at the Tour de France are not allowed to

0:33:230:33:26

speak in a northern accent, the rest exaggerate it.

0:33:260:33:31

Yes!

0:33:310:33:33

APPLAUSE

0:33:330:33:37

Staff recruited to welcome tourists to Yorkshire during this summer's

0:33:390:33:42

Tour de France have been banned from using traditional northern

0:33:420:33:45

greetings in case it causes offence.

0:33:450:33:48

There is an online training manual that advises against calling visitors...

0:33:480:33:53

For example, it's unacceptable to say, "Don't inject that here, mate."

0:33:550:33:59

The agency behind the manual, Welcome To Yorkshire, have said...

0:34:010:34:05

..by giving the impression they are in any way welcome to Yorkshire.

0:34:090:34:13

I went on a date once, genuinely, a blind date in Leeds,

0:34:140:34:19

and two lads came over and joined us.

0:34:190:34:22

Just pulled out chairs and sat down and after a really awkward 10 or

0:34:220:34:27

15 seconds the lads turned to me and went, "Are you still here, flower?"

0:34:270:34:33

They all speak with a Yorkshire accent apart from Tour de France

0:34:340:34:37

volunteers who have been asked to tone their accents down

0:34:370:34:40

so people can understand them.

0:34:400:34:41

Yorkshire accents feature prominently in the show Game Of Thrones.

0:34:410:34:44

According to The Guardian it is...

0:34:440:34:46

The main conversation being, "Have you seen Game Of Thrones?"

0:34:480:34:51

"No, I don't get Sky Atlantic!"

0:34:510:34:54

Eric Pickles is a proud Yorkshireman.

0:34:550:34:57

He was born in Yorkshire,

0:34:570:34:59

became a local councillor in Yorkshire and it is a testament

0:34:590:35:02

to how popular he is in Yorkshire that he is now an MP in Essex.

0:35:020:35:05

In the Wallace and Gromit film, Wallace is a cheery lovable

0:35:070:35:10

Yorkshireman and is based on... Um, nobody!

0:35:100:35:13

According to The Guardian, the first Wallace and Gromit adventure,

0:35:140:35:17

when they go to the moon, was supposed to be like...

0:35:170:35:20

Presumably the working title was Return Of The Chedi!

0:35:220:35:25

Yes.

0:35:250:35:27

APPLAUSE

0:35:270:35:30

Which means that at the end of this round,

0:35:300:35:34

Johnny and Ian have eight and Jo and Paul have only got five.

0:35:340:35:38

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:35:380:35:42

So it's time now for the Missing Words round,

0:35:440:35:47

which this week features as its guest publication

0:35:470:35:49

Total Grooming Magazine, which is all about dog grooming.

0:35:490:35:53

How to pick up dogs on the internet.

0:35:530:35:55

And we start with:

0:35:550:35:57

Ann Widdecombe as his midnight bride?

0:35:590:36:02

Take the stairs.

0:36:030:36:06

After complaining about the dreadful pop music in the BBC lifts,

0:36:060:36:10

Jeremy Paxman was sent a letter from a radio boss, Ben Cooper.

0:36:100:36:14

Oooh!

0:36:210:36:23

Next...

0:36:240:36:26

PAUL: Do that!

0:36:290:36:31

IAN: Look like Kim Jong-un with that haircut.

0:36:330:36:37

Your dog definitely doesn't want to look like it's been dragged through a cat backwards.

0:36:370:36:42

-Smell like a pineapple.

-No, they don't like that.

0:36:440:36:47

-They do not like that.

-I don't feel bad about not getting that one.

0:36:480:36:52

Next...

0:36:530:36:57

JO: Postman delivers dog to...

0:36:570:37:00

Grooming parlour.

0:37:000:37:02

Yes, which was shut so he pushed it through the letter box.

0:37:020:37:06

Is it all the mail to wrong place?

0:37:060:37:09

All of the street's mail to the first house.

0:37:090:37:11

A spokesman for Royal Mail contractors TNT said...

0:37:130:37:16

And to put that into perspective, it's only because 28,000

0:37:200:37:23

complaint letters have been delivered to the building next door.

0:37:230:37:27

Next...

0:37:270:37:29

I wanna enter my dog

0:37:320:37:34

at all the local dog shows in the area.

0:37:340:37:36

That's the rest of it, but you haven't got that bit.

0:37:360:37:38

You'll get 30 years.

0:37:380:37:41

Is that in dog years?!

0:37:410:37:44

I want to groom my dog. I want to lighten my dog's load.

0:37:440:37:49

No, I don't want to do that at all.

0:37:540:37:56

-Look like.

-Look like?

-JO: Oh, look like!

0:37:570:38:01

Next...

0:38:010:38:02

JOHNNY: Ride penny-farthings.

0:38:040:38:06

Eat on an empty stomach.

0:38:070:38:09

Urinate standing up.

0:38:120:38:14

Tweet or own a cat.

0:38:160:38:18

Yes, Country Life Magazine's updated Guide to Gentlemanly Manners.

0:38:180:38:22

According to them, a true gentleman does not...

0:38:220:38:25

That's my weekend up the Swanee!

0:38:280:38:30

Next...

0:38:320:38:33

IAN: ..is for life!

0:38:350:38:38

-Difficult to wax?

-Oh, so close.

0:38:400:38:44

I've got to give you that.

0:38:440:38:46

A tricky place to clip.

0:38:460:38:49

This is from Total Grooming magazine.

0:38:490:38:51

For advice on clipping your dog's armpits.

0:38:510:38:53

There's also advice on how to clip his groin.

0:38:530:38:55

Technically known as the dog's bollocks.

0:38:550:38:58

Traffic detour sign makes fish turn into harbour.

0:39:010:39:04

JOHNNY: Fishing makes fish turn into supper.

0:39:070:39:10

The answer is Prozac makes fish turn into frenzied killers.

0:39:120:39:16

-Killers!

-Next. What seen from space?

0:39:160:39:19

The moon!

0:39:190:39:20

Eric Pickles.

0:39:210:39:23

-JO: Dog in a rocket.

-What is it?

0:39:230:39:26

Nessie.

0:39:260:39:27

Really? They can't even spot her on the ground, but...

0:39:270:39:31

go 5,000 miles up there and it's clear as day.

0:39:310:39:33

This is a satellite image which supposedly shows

0:39:330:39:36

the Loch Ness Monster. According to The Mirror,

0:39:360:39:38

the picture has been probed by:

0:39:380:39:40

Good thing - you wouldn't want a bunch of nutjobs looking into it.

0:39:420:39:46

Finally:

0:39:490:39:50

JOHNNY: Torment with panache!

0:39:540:39:57

Er, to make his favourite cheese.

0:39:590:40:02

This is the shock revelation that Kim Jong-un eats a lot of cheese.

0:40:020:40:05

Who knew?

0:40:050:40:07

Is the name of the person who gets it for him.

0:40:080:40:11

LAUGHTER

0:40:110:40:12

APPLAUSE

0:40:120:40:14

So the final scores are,

0:40:160:40:19

Johnny and Ian have 9,

0:40:190:40:21

Jo and Paul have 6!

0:40:210:40:22

On which note we say thank you to our panellists,

0:40:280:40:31

Ian Hislop and Johnny Vegas, Paul Merton and Jo Coburn,

0:40:310:40:34

and I leave you with news that in Kent,

0:40:340:40:36

Nigel Farage gets himself into the right state of mind

0:40:360:40:38

to compose the UKIP manifesto.

0:40:380:40:40

There are calls for Tony Blair to be made a saint,

0:40:430:40:46

as his face appears on a pizza.

0:40:460:40:47

And after admitting in court that his affair with Rebekah Brooks

0:40:530:40:56

was wrong, a contrite Andy Coulson leaves the Old Bailey with his wife.

0:40:560:40:59

APPLAUSE

0:41:020:41:04

Good night!

0:41:060:41:08

This is a true story, quite embarrassing.

0:41:440:41:46

I was at home the other day in our bedroom, lying on the bed,

0:41:460:41:50

trying to pull my boxers off, when my wife came in and said,

0:41:500:41:54

you know, you spoil those dogs!

0:41:540:41:56
