0:00:37 > 0:00:40Good evening. Welcome to Have I Got News For You,

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm David Mitchell. In the news this week -

0:00:43 > 0:00:45in the middle of the Twitter storm over Calais,

0:00:45 > 0:00:50BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty shows her support for Gary Lineker.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54LAUGHTER

0:00:54 > 0:00:58After a crate of Prozac washes up on a beach,

0:00:58 > 0:01:00conservationists are concerned over its possible effect

0:01:00 > 0:01:02on local wildlife.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08And in Moscow,

0:01:08 > 0:01:13a KGB target survives an unusually subtle assassination attempt.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23On Ian's team tonight is a TV presenter and stand-up

0:01:23 > 0:01:25from New Zealand who described the audience

0:01:25 > 0:01:28of her first-ever Edinburgh Festival show

0:01:28 > 0:01:31as "full of drunk, angry Scottish men".

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, if you insist on doing a morning show...

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Please welcome Rose Matafeo.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40APPLAUSE

0:01:42 > 0:01:46And with Paul tonight is a Labour MP who recently resigned

0:01:46 > 0:01:48from the Shadow Cabinet and says that

0:01:48 > 0:01:51"In election terms, Labour is not match-ready."

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Unlike the bonfire in his garden

0:01:54 > 0:01:56with an effigy of Jeremy Corbyn on top.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Please welcome Chris Bryant MP.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE

0:02:06 > 0:02:08And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Paul and Chris, take a look at this.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Well, that looks like Heathrow.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15This is a bulldozer that Boris Johnson is obviously going to

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- lie in front of, as he promised. - Oh, no, he's driving it.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21He's looking for Michael Gove now, I think.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24That is Zac Goldsmith with a crab.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29And...those are some weird people outside the Palace of Varieties.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- So, yes...- Good news. Good news for people who live near Gatwick.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I looked at all the arguments and they are quite complex for

0:02:37 > 0:02:40should it be Heathrow or somewhere else? And Boris has promised

0:02:40 > 0:02:43to lie in front of a bulldozer if it's Heathrow.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45So it's gotta be Heathrow, really.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:02:50 > 0:02:53So this is the final, final decision, is it?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55There's going to be legal objections, though.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57People are going to fight this.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59It's not a forgone conclusion at the moment.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yes, there's going to be legal objections and also,

0:03:01 > 0:03:03MPs get to vote on it next year.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh, really, we get to vote on something(?)

0:03:06 > 0:03:09It'll probably just be, MPs get to chat about it,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12like Philip Green's knighthood.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Are you trying to suggest that politicians

0:03:15 > 0:03:17have no real value in society?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Bit early for that. We'll do that later.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24There are other objections - environmental objections,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26and it might not happen.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28It's got to meet all these requirements.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30But aren't they European requirements?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- So that's not really going to be... - No, that's not a problem.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36The aeroplanes have to go from here to somewhere.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- So it might still be a European thing.- Oh, yes, absolutely.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43It might just be internal flights after Brexit.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I don't think anyone's going anywhere

0:03:45 > 0:03:48and they're certainly not coming here!

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Depends how big it is.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Maybe you get a flight from Terminal 6 to Terminal 1.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56If the runway's long enough, they don't even have to take off.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Well, it's going to be a ramp, isn't it?- A ramp?!

0:03:58 > 0:04:00It's an amazing design, isn't it?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03The idea we're going to have a runway and suddenly it's announced

0:04:03 > 0:04:05they're not going to put the M25 in a tunnel,

0:04:05 > 0:04:10- they're going to put the runway on a bridge over the M25.- Yeah.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Why wasn't it more part of the discussion that there wasn't room

0:04:14 > 0:04:17for the runway inside the M25?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20You'd think that would be a real clincher for Gatwick.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Can I be narrowly parochial for a moment?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Oh, God, is this the Rhondda? - Yes, it is.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm sorry! Just for the rest of the country,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I think you'll find that Gatwick's really on the wrong side of London.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's the right side of London for most of the rest of the world.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:41 > 0:04:43How much do you think we'll make from it, financially?

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Bazillions.- Sorry, how many? - Bazillions.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I thought you said Brazilians!

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It was just a random thought, you were sitting there...

0:04:52 > 0:04:56We'll be rich enough for every citizen to get a free waxing.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Whether they want it or not.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00It's the future for our economy.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04We'll be the waxing hub of the world.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06We could become the rip-off merchants of the world.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08LAUGHTER AND GROANING

0:05:08 > 0:05:10You'll all be using it tomorrow.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12You're getting it now.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Some of you saw it on Teletext at the bottom, didn't you?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Who's the guy with the crab?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Zac Goldsmith. - I don't know why I did that.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Zac Goldsmith?- Yeah.- OK. And he has...resigned? No? Yeah?

0:05:23 > 0:05:24He has resigned.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Cos his constituency elected him on the grounds

0:05:28 > 0:05:30there wouldn't be a third runway at Heathrow.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31- Right.- So he's resigned.- OK.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- He tried to be Mayor of London. - Yes, OK.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36So now he has a lot more time to catch up on all

0:05:36 > 0:05:39the Bollywood films he hasn't seen, right?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Ah, you got that? - I did get that, that is the worst.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46I've seen 100% more Bollywood films than him. Which is one.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49He's running as an independent, right?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51But because politics in this country is so mad,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54the Conservative Party's not going to stand against him.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56The slightly weird thing is that Ukip aren't standing against him

0:05:56 > 0:05:59either, because Nigel Farage is now backing him.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02I don't know how Nigel Farage has got time out from supporting

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Donald Trump in the United States of America...

0:06:04 > 0:06:08He can really pick 'em, can't he? Trump. Zac. God!

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Do you reckon Zac's just like, "Nige, no!"

0:06:11 > 0:06:16Yes, Boris has been vocal against it. Has he resigned, too?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17No.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Has he not?!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21He's written a couple of pieces, one pro...

0:06:21 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Didn't David Cameron say that it was in their manifesto?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28It was kind of, "No ifs, no buts, there will not be a third runway,"

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- as well?- Yes, he did, yeah.- Yeah.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Unfortunately, the time for blaming him for everything

0:06:32 > 0:06:34has come to an end.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Not really. - I think we should extend it.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Listen, I'm still blaming Mrs Thatcher for an awful lot.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's just kind of quicker, you just get right in there.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48People can agree on blaming someone who's no longer at all relevant.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Or alive.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Has David Cameron died?!

0:06:53 > 0:06:56No, I didn't hear the good news!

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Oh.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01No, I don't hope David Cameron's dead.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I just wouldn't mind if he did.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08"We interrupt this programme..."

0:07:08 > 0:07:12"There's been a chillaxing accident in Cornwall."

0:07:12 > 0:07:17He relaxed so much his whole bowel fell out.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21What have the Dutch been sending to Heathrow

0:07:21 > 0:07:23every year for the last five years?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Dutch people.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Liquorice.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28No. It's a foodstuff, though.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Oh? - Guinea pig.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35I suppose, in a way, it's a foodstuff once slaughtered.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Cheese. It must be cheese.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Cheese is a foodstuff even when not slaughtered.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41No, it's cake.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Cake.- Cake.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Schiphol Airport have been sending Heathrow a cake every year,

0:07:46 > 0:07:48thanking them for the delay in expanding,

0:07:48 > 0:07:50as every delay helps promote Schiphol

0:07:50 > 0:07:52as an alternative European hub.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54According to the Telegraph,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56the latest cake from Schiphol was a fine one...

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Oh, that's disgusting.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06They are endangered birds, OK?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08I thought it was actual people on the cake!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13This is the news that the Government has given the go-ahead

0:08:13 > 0:08:16for a third runway at Heathrow, ending half a century of delay.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Boris Johnson is on record as saying that if a third runway at Heathrow

0:08:19 > 0:08:22went ahead, he would lie down in front of the bulldozers.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24I think the only word of that that any of us believe

0:08:24 > 0:08:27is "lie".

0:08:27 > 0:08:30The row over Heathrow may yet prove to be the Government's undoing.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33So it's come to this - a two-mile strip of concrete

0:08:33 > 0:08:37is now providing more opposition than Jeremy Corbyn.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39According to the Mail,

0:08:39 > 0:08:42one consequence of the third runway at Heathrow is that...

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I don't mean to be overly pessimistic,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51but if it's not opening till 2025,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53it may not be her problem.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58That's an appallingly unpatriotic thought.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01I didn't think the day would come when someone on the BBC

0:09:01 > 0:09:04would assert that the Queen is not immortal.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Ian and Rose, take a look at this.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09It's our Prime Minister.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11That's the French for "get lost"!

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Trying to do a dad joke in Parliament, there we go. No.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16That's Juncker. Oh, in, out.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh. Pick-up artist, there we go.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Nicola does not understand roulette.

0:09:20 > 0:09:25This is about our attempts to forge a new deal in the bright dawn,

0:09:25 > 0:09:30that is overtaking the country, even as we speak.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32You see? I'm not a boring Remoaner.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37I'm being positive. There are things that are cheery.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41LAUGHTER

0:09:41 > 0:09:44It was slightly sad that our Prime Minister

0:09:44 > 0:09:47went over to the EU meeting and was only allowed in

0:09:47 > 0:09:50at one o'clock in the morning to make a five-minute speech at dinner.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53And apparently she was met in dead silence,

0:09:53 > 0:09:55and then she left again.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Do you know what Jean-Claude Juncker had to say after that?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Someone from the BBC said, you know,

0:09:59 > 0:10:01"What do you think about Theresa May?"

0:10:01 > 0:10:02And he went, "Pfff."

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- We have that clip...- Oh, good. - ..in fact, it's worth seeing.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Mr Juncker, Ros Atkins, BBC News. Good to see you again.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- How did the evening go with Theresa May?- Pfff.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16It's quite a catchphrase, actually.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18You nailed that, as well!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah, no, I've been watching him for years. "Pfff!"

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Do you think he thinks he's got one of those, you know,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Christmassy things that you blow and go, "Parp!"

0:10:25 > 0:10:28in his mouth, and just forgot to put it in?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31He's been trying to come out all jolly, "Parp!"

0:10:31 > 0:10:34and went, "Pff!"

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Oh, forgot again!

0:10:35 > 0:10:38But I'm amazed she managed to fill the five minutes.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Because she says she doesn't want to keep up a running commentary

0:10:41 > 0:10:43on what the policy is, or plan, or strategy...

0:10:43 > 0:10:45There could be a reason for that.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Cos there ain't one. - ROSE:- Yeah.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49She keeps on saying she doesn't want to show her hand.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51But, like, in poker, you can't, like,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54just pretend there are cards in your hand.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I mean, you can't just be like,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58"I've got a good one here. Watch out!"

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- CHRIS:- And she keeps on saying,

0:11:00 > 0:11:02"We're going for the best possible deal."

0:11:02 > 0:11:05And basically, she's not going to say what she wants because she knows

0:11:05 > 0:11:07that whatever deal she's got at the end will have been

0:11:07 > 0:11:10the best possible deal that she could have possibly got.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12- So she's saying, "Just see what happens..."- Yeah.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15"..because that's what I'm going to do."

0:11:15 > 0:11:16LAUGHTER

0:11:16 > 0:11:18"By the way, if you're a room full of bankers,

0:11:18 > 0:11:21"I'm quite happy to come along and tell you exactly what I'm about."

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Well, yes. This week, she suffered an embarrassing bit of leakage,

0:11:25 > 0:11:26didn't she?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31A recording of a secret speech that Theresa gave

0:11:31 > 0:11:33to Goldman Sachs bankers a month before the referendum

0:11:33 > 0:11:35was leaked to the Guardian.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38In it, she warned that companies would leave the UK if the

0:11:38 > 0:11:39country voted for Brexit,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42and that the country would be less safe outside the EU.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44But why is it... She was against Brexit,

0:11:44 > 0:11:48so why is it a big deal that it turns out she meant that?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Cos she was a bit half-hearted,

0:11:50 > 0:11:52and there were other people in other parties,

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- weren't there, Chris, who were... - A BIT half-hearted?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- She wasn't a BIT half-hearted, she...- No, I was thinking of Jeremy.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm still talking about Theresa May, I think you'll find.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Let's stick with Theresa May.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Was she more or less half-hearted than Jeremy Corbyn?- Yes.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08These politicians!

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- OK. Was...? - I gave you a direct answer!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12It was a yes-no question, I gave a...

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Yeah. OK. I'm wise to this. - All right.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Was she more half-hearted than Jeremy Corbyn?- Yes.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh, so you like Jeremy Corbyn?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24He's leading Labour into the wilderness, you fool!

0:12:27 > 0:12:29He came up with a joke, though, at Question Time.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Oh, yeah. It was kind of awkward, though, that joke, wasn't it?

0:12:32 > 0:12:33Was very, just, like, dad joke-y.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- What was it? - He said that, like Baldrick,

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Mrs May has got a cunning plan but it isn't a plan.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- ROSE:- And then she came back to him and was like,

0:12:41 > 0:12:43"Well, the guy who played him was Labour!"

0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's exactly what she said, right?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47The thing about her is, she's very...

0:12:47 > 0:12:48She doesn't believe in Brexit.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51People thought maybe secretly she believed in Brexit,

0:12:51 > 0:12:54and so it's OK for her to lead a government that's doing Brexit.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Maybe she's changed her mind.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Or maybe she doesn't care what the Government does.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00She just wants to be Prime Minister of it.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01- Ah.- So she'll do, you know...

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Well, at least she's not like Jeremy in that sense,

0:13:03 > 0:13:06cos he certainly doesn't want to be Prime Minister.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Or maybe not.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You know, they're the perfect opponents, aren't they?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12The person that will be Prime Minister of ANY government...

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- And the one who'll be Prime Minister of none.- Yeah!

0:13:15 > 0:13:16If Labour wins, she could say,

0:13:16 > 0:13:18"Jeremy, don't worry, I'll be Prime...

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- "I'll just do the Labour stuff!" - Yeah!

0:13:20 > 0:13:24"I didn't believe in Brexit, I did the Brexit stuff. I can do it all.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27"I'm a session musician politician."

0:13:27 > 0:13:29So far, we've had hard Brexit,

0:13:29 > 0:13:32soft Brexit, smooth Brexit, proper Brexit.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35My personal favourite, dirty Brexit.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38How does Nicola Sturgeon like her Brexit?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Continental.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44No, she wants a flexi-Brexit that would keep Scotland

0:13:44 > 0:13:47in the single market, even if the rest of the UK left.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49The Sun and the Mail spotted a sure sign

0:13:49 > 0:13:52that Sturgeon meant business at the meeting. What was that?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Shoes. It was about shoes. It's got to be shoes, hasn't it?

0:13:55 > 0:13:56It was about shoes.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58According to the Sun, Sturgeon tried...

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Here they are.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Whereas the Mail reported...

0:14:09 > 0:14:11So, snakeskin or crocodile?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13This can only mean, that for once,

0:14:13 > 0:14:16either the Sun or the Mail has got its facts wrong.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20And there are also signs she was trying to do

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Theresa May's famous power stance.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Oh, no.- She didn't quite get it right.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Come on, Theresa, show her how it's done.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33LAUGHTER

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Very nice.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35What has Theresa promised

0:14:35 > 0:14:39the devolved governments' leaders to help keep them sweet?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41A say.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42Oh, God, no! No, no, no.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45You're going to have to think of the most worthless gesture imaginable.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47George Osborne?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50She's...

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Why might they have to watch

0:14:57 > 0:14:59what they say when speaking to him on the Brexit Hotline?

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Is it bugged?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Yes, apparently Davis has been warned that all of the other

0:15:05 > 0:15:0827 EU governments are spying on him and intercepting his calls

0:15:08 > 0:15:11in an attempt to discover his strategy for Brexit.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15It's really amazing they think he's got one.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16LAUGHTER

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Not much cooperation if all 27 countries are spying on him.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Can't they just get together

0:15:20 > 0:15:23in some sort of union and decide, "You do it"?

0:15:23 > 0:15:26How has Michael Gove been trying

0:15:26 > 0:15:28to worm his way into her affections this week?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well, he gave an interview on The World Today,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- in which she said she was marvellous.- Yes.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36He said he was in...

0:15:38 > 0:15:40..with much of what the Prime Minister has said so far,

0:15:40 > 0:15:42and added that she's carrying out her role...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, talk about damning with faint praise!

0:15:49 > 0:15:52How did Gove respond to questions about his betrayal

0:15:52 > 0:15:53of David Cameron over Europe?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He said he didn't stab him in the back.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58I think he stabbed him in the ankle or something.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I can't remember, what did he say?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Well, what I've got him as having said is...

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Which is very good of him, as the stabber.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Stab. I forgive you.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14LAUGHTER

0:16:14 > 0:16:18He gave an interview, probably two weeks ago, in which he said,

0:16:18 > 0:16:21"My judgment on all sorts of issues in the entire period

0:16:21 > 0:16:22"was completely faulty."

0:16:22 > 0:16:25And now he's been put onto a committee to look into Brexit.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Why should we listen to anything Gove says?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Sorry, rhetorical questions are very boring.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Because there's something magnetic about his loathsomeness.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39LAUGHTER

0:16:39 > 0:16:41And he's the sort of person, you know, in a Bond film,

0:16:41 > 0:16:43he'd be really watchable,

0:16:43 > 0:16:45and then there'd be a great bit where he is dissolved in acid.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Who other than Gove has been singing Theresa's praises this week?

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Oh, gosh...

0:16:53 > 0:16:57It was the respected author and journalist Hunter Davies.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Did you hear about this?- No.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00This is quite a quote. He said...

0:17:21 > 0:17:23What, these guys?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25LAUGHTER

0:17:25 > 0:17:27LAUGHTER

0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER

0:17:29 > 0:17:34I suppose number three looks a bit, you know, interested.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37This is the news that Brexit will make us less attractive

0:17:37 > 0:17:40to foreign investors, less wealthy and less safe.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43That's according to Theresa May, five months ago,

0:17:43 > 0:17:45speaking at Goldman Sachs.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47According to a poll quote in the Sun,

0:17:47 > 0:17:5047% would still back Leave in another referendum...

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Ah, yes, fluctuations.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57One day it's down, the next day it plummets,

0:17:57 > 0:17:59the next day it's merely down again!

0:17:59 > 0:18:02According to the Daily Telegraph,

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Microsoft is set to increase its prices by 22%...

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Makes a nice change for Microsoft to look at something and say,

0:18:11 > 0:18:14"Oh, no, it's crashed!"

0:18:15 > 0:18:17And so on to Round Two.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51The legs of a woman, and the head of an Oxford English Dictionary.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53What more could anyone want?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58So this is a book that's literally been walking out of the shops,

0:18:58 > 0:19:00is that what we're seeing here?

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Oh, is it Essex women? - That's it, yes.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06The term "Essex girl" is in the dictionary.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09And this is the news that two girls from Essex

0:19:09 > 0:19:11are trying to get that term removed.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Collins defines it as...

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Doesn't seem too bad. - That's all right.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Why would anyone have a problem with that(?)

0:19:27 > 0:19:31And according to Natasha Sawkins and Juliet Thomas,

0:19:31 > 0:19:32who are behind the campaign...

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Not heard that one before.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I just love this idea of them complaining.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Does Neanderthal man have a say?

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Does he say, "I think I've been ridiculously stereotyped"?

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Yes, but he's not really around any more,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51whereas women from Essex might consider that if they're born

0:19:51 > 0:19:53in the county of Essex, they shouldn't all be stigmatised

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- with the same stereotype. - You're probably right.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58You can't libel the dead, let alone the extinct.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Don't tell me about libel, Mitchell.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm giving you a tip!

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Say what you like about Neanderthals.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Why can't they just take it out?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Because who's campaigning to keep that in?- It would be...

0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's not how things work, is it?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's in the dictionary because it's a term people use.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16And if people started taking... People might think,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19"Can we take the word 'poo' out of the dictionary?

0:20:19 > 0:20:20"It's not very nice, poo, is it?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22"You know, I don't really want to be reminded of poo."

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Then you just have a dictionary that's got nice words,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27like "peacefully" and "flower".

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Who's come out in support of Juliet and Natasha's campaign?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33The Archbishop of Canterbury.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36No, it was in fact a star of Ian's favourite show,

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Gemma Collins. Here she is.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40It is absolutely outrageous

0:20:40 > 0:20:42in today's society

0:20:42 > 0:20:44that the dictionary, which...

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I'm a massive fan of the dictionary.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49We should be, like, promoting the dictionary anyway

0:20:49 > 0:20:52because, like, it is such an amazing, like,

0:20:52 > 0:20:54historical British thing, isn't it?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Every story ever written's in the dictionary.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05You've just got to put the words in the right order. All there!

0:21:05 > 0:21:08This is the story about two ladies from Essex

0:21:08 > 0:21:10who want the term "Essex girls"

0:21:10 > 0:21:12scrubbed from the Oxford English Dictionary.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14The main thing about this story is it gives the Sun the chance

0:21:14 > 0:21:17to recycle some old Essex girl jokes, including...

0:21:21 > 0:21:24That's interesting. The label in my pants says

0:21:41 > 0:21:44the heaviest suicide note in history.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Which, bizarrely, considering how much money we spent on it,

0:21:48 > 0:21:50looks as if it's made of foam

0:21:50 > 0:21:53and somebody forgot to put it on the return of election expenses

0:21:53 > 0:21:56and so the Labour Party has been fined.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Yes, you were quite right. The Ed Stone was quite expensive.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Do you know what it cost, exactly?

0:22:00 > 0:22:01The general election.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08APPLAUSE

0:22:08 > 0:22:09Yes, it was...

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Labour say they did originally get a receipt from the stonemason's,

0:22:14 > 0:22:16but it was too heavy to get in the car.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19The Spectator quoted a source as saying

0:22:19 > 0:22:22that when the image of the stone first appeared on TV...

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I wonder if he had any inkling that

0:22:33 > 0:22:36that wasn't the low point for Labour.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Do you think Ed took too much flak for losing that election, Chris?

0:22:39 > 0:22:40He's a good man.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44- You can tell you were a vicar. - Bless you, my child.- Thank you.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm not so sure you could quite so easily tell you were a vicar

0:22:46 > 0:22:48- when you said about Ed...- Oh, yes?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58He's a very modern vicar.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00That was the night of Brexit.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02I was very, very upset about Brexit.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Chris, how much do you blame Corbyn for the referendum result?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09You even thought Corbyn voted Leave, didn't you?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I think a lot of the arguments that Jeremy put

0:23:11 > 0:23:13helped the Leave campaign.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Do you still think...

0:23:18 > 0:23:20- As you said. - Well, everything's to...

0:23:23 > 0:23:25The Labour Party's got to be mended, that's the truth,

0:23:25 > 0:23:28and I don't like Mrs May and the way she's leading the country,

0:23:28 > 0:23:31so I hope that Labour can pull itself together.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35That's definitely not a straight answer.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56There's plenty of people who move in and out of the Shadow Cabinet,

0:23:56 > 0:23:58and they've said even worse things than Chris has,

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- so don't try and restrict his future career...- No, no.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33So I'll flatter you and assume it's not very much.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00if Jeremy doesn't find love, according to Dr Angus Davison?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Because he's a snail, and we don't care.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Of course, sometimes they must be dreaming about

0:27:30 > 0:27:32chasing things likes cats and rabbits,

0:27:32 > 0:27:34as we can see from this classic clip.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55I imagine that dog has an active inner life.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Is that your dog dreaming about you?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Yes, cos I chase my dog(!)

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Do you?- No. I haven't got a dog.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Not now you've chased him away.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Time now for the Odd One Out round.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Ian and Rose, your four are...

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Larry the Downing Street Cat. Napoleon Bonaparte.

0:28:15 > 0:28:16Michael Heseltine.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20And Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Larry had a fight in Downing Street. With another cat.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27- With...- You're getting warm.- With a cat called Palmerston.- That's right.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Napoleon and Lord Palmerston? Was there a problem there?

0:28:30 > 0:28:33- No.- No.- You're right with fight.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Had a fight.- But you want to move away from Lord Palmerston.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39No, I don't, I love Lord... I'm sorry.

0:28:39 > 0:28:40Did the other guys have a fight?

0:28:40 > 0:28:43There was a story this week... Michael Heseltine...

0:28:43 > 0:28:46And he was declaring he'd shot a load of bats,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48or birds, or badgers, or starlings...

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Yeah, this is all in the right area.- ..rhinos.- Yeah.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56Combat with birds! The Italian Prime Minister's the odd one out

0:28:56 > 0:28:58because he said to the pigeons of Rome, "You've got an amnesty,

0:28:58 > 0:29:01"nobody'll kill you, we'll look after you."

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- You've got the right answer but for the wrong reason.- Ah.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06- It's they've all fought with animals...- Yes.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09..apart from the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi

0:29:09 > 0:29:13who had to deny fighting a fish at the G20 summit.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18The Chinese president had taken a group of leaders,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20including Renzi and Theresa May,

0:29:20 > 0:29:23on a night-time cruise on a nearby lake,

0:29:23 > 0:29:24as a cultural outing,

0:29:24 > 0:29:26when it was reported that...

0:29:28 > 0:29:30According to the Sun, Renzi...

0:29:37 > 0:29:40A spokesman for Renzi's office, on the other hand,

0:29:40 > 0:29:43denied that the PM had kicked the fish, explaining...

0:29:47 > 0:29:48He avoided it with his shoe.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Larry the Downing Street cat,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55he's recently had a fight with Palmerston, the Foreign Office cat.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Whoa!- Yeah!

0:29:57 > 0:30:00How has Theresa May settled in with Larry?

0:30:00 > 0:30:02She's wearing him as a coat.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06More like shoes! Kitten heels!

0:30:06 > 0:30:09AUDIENCE GROAN

0:30:09 > 0:30:11- She's not that keen on Larry.- No.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13She said in an interview with The Times...

0:30:15 > 0:30:18And they had to dream about her.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Yeah.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24Maybe that's her dog trying to run through a wall.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Napoleon. Do you know Napoleon's animal scuffle story?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32It's after he signed the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807,

0:30:32 > 0:30:35he was encouraged to do some celebratory rabbit shooting

0:30:35 > 0:30:37in a park with friends and colleagues.

0:30:37 > 0:30:42- How many rabbits do you think were laid on for him to shoot?- 75.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43- Higher.- 175.

0:30:43 > 0:30:44- HIGH-PITCHED:- 75.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49APPLAUSE

0:30:53 > 0:30:54It was 1,000.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58The Napoleonic general, Paul Thiebault,

0:30:58 > 0:31:01who was there, said the rabbits...

0:31:01 > 0:31:02And...

0:31:05 > 0:31:06They also...

0:31:08 > 0:31:09..and forced Napoleon...

0:31:12 > 0:31:15More than the Austrian Army could do.

0:31:15 > 0:31:20Michael Heseltine has admitted to killing 400 grey squirrels

0:31:20 > 0:31:23in his garden in just nine months. He said...

0:31:32 > 0:31:35He wants to watch that that doesn't get taken out of context.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Could end up with a job in the Cabinet.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Yes, they have all fought with animals

0:31:43 > 0:31:46apart from Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi

0:31:46 > 0:31:49who had to deny fighting a fish at the G20 summit.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Theresa May was shocked to be confronted by the slippery,

0:31:52 > 0:31:55thick-lipped, clammy, glass-eyed creature.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57She didn't think Michael Gove had been invited.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01The Heseltines occasionally open their gardens to the public,

0:32:01 > 0:32:02where it's been revealed...

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It's not entirely clear why the squirrels were killed,

0:32:07 > 0:32:11but the gift shop has got 200 pairs of novelty slippers.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15According to one report of Napoleon's rabbit scuffle...

0:32:18 > 0:32:22To which the surgeon general at Paris A&E replied,

0:32:22 > 0:32:26"If you say so Monsieur Bonaparte, I'm not here to judge."

0:32:26 > 0:32:27Paul and Chris, here are yours.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32- Robert Mugabe. Ines de Castro, Queen Consort of Portugal.- Yes.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Brendan Cole and David Gest.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39First of all, the one I would know most about would be Brendan Cole,

0:32:39 > 0:32:41he's in Strictly Come Dancing.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43He wasn't in the last week, because he was ill with something.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46They reported that he was dead, didn't they?

0:32:46 > 0:32:48On Twitter and Facebook and stuff,

0:32:48 > 0:32:49which was obviously wrong, inaccurate.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Ah. Maybe it's about that, then.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54And who is the woman at the top, she's Portuguese nobility?

0:32:54 > 0:32:55No, that's Mugabe.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57LAUGHTER

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Yes, Ines de Castro, Queen Consort of Portugal.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04Was she reported dead and she wasn't?

0:33:04 > 0:33:06And Mugabe, there have been rumours of his death.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- You're in the right area.- But David Gest is actually... Or is he?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11David Gest is now dead.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15I'll give you a clue, so is Ines de Castro, Queen Consort of Portugal.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16LAUGHTER

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Queen Ines de Castro is the odd one out,

0:33:19 > 0:33:23because they were all rumoured to be dead apart from her,

0:33:23 > 0:33:27but she attended her own Coronation, even though she really was dead.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29SILENCE

0:33:29 > 0:33:30Whoa...

0:33:30 > 0:33:33This is like it's news just in, and it happened in the 14th century!

0:33:33 > 0:33:36We didn't even know she was ill!

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- Yeah, how did... - It's been a shock to some of us.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's a very sad story.

0:33:41 > 0:33:45Ines arrived in Portugal in 1340 to be lady-in-waiting to her cousin,

0:33:45 > 0:33:48who was due to marry the heir to the throne Dom Pedro.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50But when Dom Pedro set eyes on Ines,

0:33:50 > 0:33:53he fell desperately in love with her instead.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Dom Pedro eventually married Ines,

0:33:55 > 0:33:57against his father King Alfonso's wishes.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00So the King had assassins brutally

0:34:00 > 0:34:03murder Ines in front of their children.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06I think that was the plot in last week's Hollyoaks.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Pedro eventually became king,

0:34:09 > 0:34:12so what did he do with his dead wife's body?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14He made her attend the coronation.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Yeah. Dead. He dug her up,

0:34:16 > 0:34:20dressed her in royal robes and propped her up in the throne room.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22The king ordered that nobility of the kingdom to pledge

0:34:22 > 0:34:25their obedience and loyalty to the Queen corpse

0:34:25 > 0:34:27and demanded that they kiss her dead hand.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29AUDIENCE: Oh...

0:34:29 > 0:34:32That's a re-enactment. LAUGHTER

0:34:32 > 0:34:37But the other three were all rumoured dead and weren't dead.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38Rumours started circulating that

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Robert Mugabe had died when a plane he was on was diverted to Dubai

0:34:41 > 0:34:44when he has previously received medical attention. He explained...

0:34:50 > 0:34:54Yes, once the stake has been removed from your heart.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56What has Mugabe recently been criticised for?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Everything.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02Specific, recent criticism of many is as Zimbabwe suffers

0:35:02 > 0:35:04its worst economic crisis ever

0:35:04 > 0:35:08Mugabe unveiled a 12-foot high statue of himself.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Let's have a look.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12He doesn't seem chuffed about it.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13Well, look at it.

0:35:13 > 0:35:14LAUGHTER

0:35:14 > 0:35:16According to the Telegraph, he said,

0:35:16 > 0:35:20on seeing the work by local sculptor Dominic Benhura...

0:35:27 > 0:35:29LAUGHTER

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Start the car, Dominic.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33LAUGHTER

0:35:33 > 0:35:35- And David Gest.- Yes.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39American reality TV star Tiffany Pollard got the wrong end of

0:35:39 > 0:35:44the stick when fellow contestant on Big Brother Angie Bowie told her...

0:35:46 > 0:35:47..when she was actually talking

0:35:47 > 0:35:49about her ex husband, the late David Bowie.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52David Gest was just asleep at that point.

0:35:52 > 0:35:58And Brendan Cole, do you know about the rumours of his death?

0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Yes, so he was on Strictly, he's- on - Strictly and he was ill,

0:36:02 > 0:36:05so he wasn't able to partner Anastasia at the weekend.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Yes, Brendan, he pulled out of Saturday' performance, due to a

0:36:08 > 0:36:12lung infection, which led to the daily Star cautiously concluding...

0:36:16 > 0:36:18How did Brendan react?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- "Am I?!"- And tweeted...

0:36:24 > 0:36:25LAUGHTER

0:36:25 > 0:36:29Incidentally, the BBC would like to make it absolutely clear -

0:36:29 > 0:36:30Brendan Cole is not dead.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33Only behind the eyes.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37Ed Balls managed to survive another week. But what did he fail to do?

0:36:37 > 0:36:39You must have seen this.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Dance.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43There was a lift that went horribly wrong.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46It was going wrong in instalments, really.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Have we got it? - We have. Let's have a look.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51SONG: (Is This The Way To) Amarillo

0:36:51 > 0:36:54AUDIENCE CHEERS, THEN GASPS

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Yes.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06But he must win! He must win!

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Labour's got to win something this year!

0:37:09 > 0:37:13You could spend 1,000 years trying to choreograph

0:37:13 > 0:37:15something that amusing.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17The moment with the real jeopardy,

0:37:17 > 0:37:19and the moment when he has to grab her boob.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23It's either that or she smashes her skull on the floor.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Yes, they've all been rumoured to be dead

0:37:26 > 0:37:28apart from Ines de Castro, Queen Consort of Portugal,

0:37:28 > 0:37:31who, in 1357, attended her own coronation,

0:37:31 > 0:37:33even though she really was dead.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Her body was dug up, sewn back together, covered in powder

0:37:36 > 0:37:40and face paint, clad in finery and presented to the nation

0:37:40 > 0:37:41in a grotesque spectacle.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Just like Sharon Osbourne on the X Factor.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Time now for the missing words round, which this week features

0:37:47 > 0:37:49as its guest publication...

0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Yes!- Uh-huh.- ..and publications of the slide-rule circle.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55I get this. I get this one.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59A good magazine but all of its readers are calculating bastards.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01We start with...

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Mates with Jeremy the snail?- Yeah.- Oh...

0:38:08 > 0:38:13"I love the way your circles go the other way."

0:38:13 > 0:38:14It's in fact...

0:38:19 > 0:38:20Here he is in action.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25LAUGHTER

0:38:28 > 0:38:31I always wondered why people are filming these incidents

0:38:31 > 0:38:34before they happen. Maybe it's part of an experiment or something.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Is it an experiment to see whether frogs can...

0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Do you think they got him drunk? - Pick the pissed frog?

0:38:39 > 0:38:41See that's what they do in laboratories, isn't it?

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Let's get all the frogs drunk. Next...

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Um... I've no idea what a slide rule is, so...

0:38:51 > 0:38:54It's the thing you used to calculate on before calculators.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, and calculators were before phones?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Turn to the centrefold.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Yeah.- Turn to the centrefold immediately for further guidance.

0:39:03 > 0:39:04It is...

0:39:10 > 0:39:13People who use slide-rules always felt superior to those

0:39:13 > 0:39:15who used calculators.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Fine, but if you turn a slide-rule upside down,

0:39:17 > 0:39:19you can't get it to make the word "boobies".

0:39:21 > 0:39:22Next...

0:39:25 > 0:39:27- High self esteem. - SNIGGERING

0:39:27 > 0:39:30Is it bringing your top lip over your head

0:39:30 > 0:39:31and using it as a bathing cap?

0:39:31 > 0:39:33It's...

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Here's what it looks like.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Oh, that's rather good.- So...

0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Uh, well...- I don't know.- In what sense is that a living plant?

0:39:42 > 0:39:44It's a succulent.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47It looks like a fungal infection that's really gone to work.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Anyway, now you can say it with flowers.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54And finally...

0:39:57 > 0:39:58Dave.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03I beg your pardon?

0:40:04 > 0:40:08BBC Parliament! See how you like it, yeah?

0:40:09 > 0:40:11LAUGHTER

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Nothing wrong with Dave.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24A new streaming video service, Napflix, aims to lull viewers

0:40:24 > 0:40:27to sleep by streaming the least thrilling footage they can find.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Programmes will include the 1964 documentary...

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Now available as a box set. - Oh-ho-ho! Boom, boom!

0:40:37 > 0:40:40The final scores are Ian and Rose have 4 points,

0:40:40 > 0:40:44- but Paul and Chris are the winners with- 9. Wahey!- Oh, well done.

0:40:44 > 0:40:45Thank you, thank you.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47I'm so sorry, Ian.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52And I leave you with news that, in Liverpool,

0:40:52 > 0:40:54on John McDonnell's orders,

0:40:54 > 0:40:57a security dog sinks its teeth into a rival's backside.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04After a fleet of Russian warships is spotted in the English Channel,

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson issues an immediate response.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14And as auditions begin for a remake of the film

0:41:14 > 0:41:18Tarka The Otter, one young hopeful waits to see if he's got the part.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Goodnight.
