APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:250:00:28

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

0:00:370:00:39

I'm Lee Mack. In the news this week, in Downing Street, Samantha Cameron

0:00:390:00:42

tries not to panic as she realises her husband has overdone the Botox.

0:00:420:00:46

In the Midlands, as temperatures plummet and the country grinds

0:00:510:00:54

to a standstill, the emergency services leap into action.

0:00:540:00:57

Outside a surgery in London, a Strictly Come Dancing researcher

0:01:020:01:05

awaits treatment after catching a glimpse of a naked Ann Widdecombe.

0:01:050:01:08

On Ian Hislop's team is a Geordie comedian who has been described

0:01:160:01:19

as the Bridget Jones of comedy - though, of course, without the big white knickers.

0:01:190:01:23

She's from Newcastle - she's doesn't wear knickers. Please welcome Sarah Millican.

0:01:230:01:27

APPLAUSE

0:01:270:01:31

And with Paul Merton tonight is a left-wing politician who recently

0:01:330:01:36

said the coalition spending cuts were beyond Margaret Thatcher's wildest dreams.

0:01:360:01:40

Dreams which co-incidentally regularly featured his head on a spike.

0:01:400:01:44

Please welcome Ken Livingstone.

0:01:440:01:46

APPLAUSE

0:01:460:01:50

And we start with the biggest stories of the week.

0:01:520:01:54

Paul and Ken, take a look at this.

0:01:540:01:56

-Yes, thank you for the clue. A big eagle.

-A leak.

0:01:560:01:59

Yes. Lots of people.

0:01:590:02:00

-They can't stand each other, we now know. He's mad.

-Yes.

0:02:000:02:05

He's angry. He's bent, did you say?

0:02:050:02:08

All those arms deals. And these two. No, none of them like each other.

0:02:080:02:12

No, don't they? This is the old ambassador's chocolate advert.

0:02:120:02:16

So there's been a lot of leaks where people have found out what people really think about each other.

0:02:160:02:19

Correct. And where, particularly, did they find these leaks?

0:02:190:02:22

On WikiLeaks. And the poor guy who has done it all is now desperately looking for somewhere safe to hide.

0:02:220:02:27

He's actually under here. "Hello, Julian."

0:02:270:02:30

Leave it, leave it. Leave it, Lee.

0:02:330:02:38

It's not BBC1, Saturday night.

0:02:380:02:41

-Leave it, leave it.

-There's almost nothing in this you didn't know.

0:02:410:02:43

Everyone at the top hates everybody else.

0:02:430:02:45

I was delighted, I finally got a mention. The American ambassador said I was too cosy

0:02:450:02:50

with dictators like Fidel Castro. Big news, you know?

0:02:500:02:54

And evidence that the US aren't always wrong.

0:02:540:02:57

You called the US ambassador something as well.

0:02:590:03:01

A chiselling little crook, because he wouldn't pay the congestion charge.

0:03:010:03:05

-He wouldn't pay the what?

-He wouldn't pay the congestion charge.

0:03:050:03:07

-And once the Americans stopped, all the others stopped.

-Exactly.

0:03:070:03:11

They've got it all sewn up, these diplomats.

0:03:110:03:13

You take the extreme example, diplomats occasionally rape someone,

0:03:130:03:17

they just get sent home, we can't arrest them.

0:03:170:03:19

It's awful. No, not just the congestion charge.

0:03:190:03:21

Ken, Ken, let's keep it light.

0:03:210:03:23

Can you reduce it to a sexual assault?

0:03:250:03:29

I don't know if it's my slightly paranoid brain, having been bullied

0:03:290:03:32

as a child, but I'm waiting for my name to pop up and just for it to say,

0:03:320:03:36

"She didn't have any boobs at 16."

0:03:360:03:39

It's not that much ruder than everybody else, really.

0:03:390:03:42

You read it and you think, "Well, I have occasionally closed the door on someone saying, 'Lovely evening.

0:03:420:03:47

'God, you're a bore!'"

0:03:470:03:49

To be fair, you've never closed the door at a dinner party and said, "I think you should attack Iran."

0:03:490:03:54

Or, actually, maybe you have!

0:03:540:03:57

Why would you invite them to your party?

0:03:570:04:00

Who are they? We want to know.

0:04:000:04:01

OK, Ahmadinejad,

0:04:010:04:03

Kim Jong Il - he's a real bore and terrible at dinner -

0:04:050:04:10

and President Sarkozy, who is very rude. Oh, and Prince Andrew.

0:04:100:04:14

But, I mean, that's just an average evening at my place.

0:04:140:04:18

Prince Andrew was part of the leaks. What did we learn about Prince Andrew?

0:04:180:04:21

This was unbelievable! Prince Andrew, apparently, is very rude and stupid.

0:04:210:04:27

He said the bloody journalists constantly try and shove their noses

0:04:270:04:33

into business that doesn't concern them. Like major corruption deals!

0:04:330:04:38

He referred to them as:

0:04:380:04:41

That's the highest praise from a member of the royal family.

0:04:430:04:47

The Guardian had a theory about the reason for Andrew's behaviour, do we know what that was?

0:04:470:04:51

He's a dick?

0:04:510:04:53

They said it was:

0:04:530:04:55

That's one way of putting it.

0:05:030:05:06

One senior diplomat leapt to Andrew's defence. He said:

0:05:060:05:10

That counts as diplomacy!

0:05:160:05:18

Isn't the Iranian thing slightly reassuring, that everybody does hate them after all?

0:05:180:05:23

Most of the local Arab governments that hate the Iranians aren't pretty much fun either, frankly.

0:05:230:05:30

Are you saying the Saudis are not an open and loving...?

0:05:300:05:33

You will recall I said I look forward to the day I saw the Saudi royal family swinging from the lamppost.

0:05:330:05:38

Ghastly bunk of crooks, they are.

0:05:380:05:40

Always been a moderate, haven't you, Ken?

0:05:400:05:42

I say it again, Ken, keep it light!

0:05:430:05:47

How did Prince Hassan of Jordan describe the leaks?

0:05:470:05:51

An incredible torrent of beauty.

0:05:510:05:54

No, he said:

0:05:540:05:55

No, he did. Either he misheard it or that's the first example I've heard

0:05:570:06:00

of a Jordanian joke.

0:06:000:06:03

No, I like the really shocking ones like Andrew.

0:06:030:06:05

And Berlusconi, apparently, is sex mad!

0:06:050:06:09

Who'd have known?! He certainly kept that pretty quiet!

0:06:090:06:13

-He's under here as well.

-Is he?!

0:06:130:06:16

They actually said about Berlusconi, he was:

0:06:160:06:18

Although Berlusconi released a statement saying:

0:06:230:06:25

And after dinner we have a game of bunga-bunga.

0:06:350:06:39

Barack Obama, what did he say about David Cameron?

0:06:390:06:41

-Lightweight.

-Right. The Americans came out officially and said:

0:06:410:06:45

VERY lightweight.

0:06:480:06:51

-Who else have we learned about this week?

-The Koreans.

-Yes.

0:06:510:06:55

How was he described, Kim Jong Il?

0:06:550:06:57

-Ronery?

-What?!

0:06:570:06:59

No, flabby.

0:07:030:07:05

Flabby old chap, quite a good drinker, who prances around stadiums seeking adulation.

0:07:050:07:10

That sounds like a compliment, doesn't it, "Quite a good drinker"?

0:07:100:07:13

We'd take that as a compliment, wouldn't we?

0:07:130:07:15

You'd take flabby as a compliment in Newcastle, wouldn't you?

0:07:150:07:18

This is the WikiLeaks scandal, which has been described as:

0:07:180:07:22

So, with WikiLeaks clearly to blame, prepare for the US invasion of Wikipedia.

0:07:230:07:29

One of the leaks described an unnamed Labour Minister

0:07:290:07:32

as a manic depressive with an eye for the ladies.

0:07:320:07:35

That's what happens when men get to a certain age.

0:07:370:07:41

The source of the leak is said to be Private Bradley Manning.

0:07:410:07:45

According to the Times, Manning boasted online of how he downloaded the secret files...

0:07:450:07:50

If only you'd have left it at that, son, the whole world would have been behind you.

0:07:530:07:57

Ian and Sarah, what's all this about?

0:07:570:08:00

Students being kettled.

0:08:000:08:01

Oh, and that's Vince playing hopscotch.

0:08:010:08:04

That's Ed Miliband meeting the public. Keep that hat on.

0:08:040:08:07

Ann Widdecombe, yeah. Getting ready for Strictly.

0:08:070:08:12

Oh, abandoning. Fair enough.

0:08:120:08:14

Oh, blimey. He's just seen Ann Widdecombe.

0:08:140:08:17

And he's just hired Ann Widdecombe.

0:08:170:08:20

I don't know why he's in the news.

0:08:230:08:24

I know the student bit. Is that they've been protesting again?

0:08:240:08:27

-They have. What about?

-Student fees.

0:08:270:08:29

What has Vince Cable announced?

0:08:290:08:33

He's announced the policy of putting up student fees but he's not necessarily going to vote for it.

0:08:330:08:37

He says he agrees with it, but that doesn't mean he's going to vote for it.

0:08:370:08:41

-Which is quite weird.

-And who won't care too much about whether tuition fees have gone up any more?

0:08:410:08:47

People in their 30s?

0:08:470:08:49

Or old age pensioners, as you call them in Newcastle.

0:08:490:08:53

-Wales.

-Wales.

-The Welsh, yes.

-Yeah, it was Wales.

0:08:550:08:58

The Welsh Assembly announced that Welsh students would not have to pay the increase in fees.

0:08:580:09:02

People are very annoyed. Only English people will be

0:09:020:09:05

paying these very heavy tuition fees. So they got very excited.

0:09:050:09:09

And some of them got excited enough to go to London and be hit on the head with batons.

0:09:090:09:14

Well, yeah, because normally when you think of students you think of lazy, don't you?

0:09:140:09:20

And now you can't because some of them are missing, like, whole days of telly.

0:09:200:09:25

I'm assuming they've all got Sky Plus and that's why they feel free to protest.

0:09:250:09:30

What I thought was I like the fact now that people are also bringing

0:09:300:09:34

a sense of humour to the slogans and, like, placards.

0:09:340:09:36

And one placard at the demonstration simply said "Political slogan",

0:09:360:09:40

-which I quite liked.

-That's nice.

0:09:400:09:44

Do you think that was from a template that they were supposed to have changed?

0:09:440:09:49

A student was interviewed and said:

0:09:490:09:52

According to George Osborne, what's the good news on the economic front this week?

0:10:030:10:07

Eh... We're all in it together.

0:10:070:10:10

It's not got worse than we thought it would be.

0:10:100:10:14

Oh, you're such a ray of sunshine!

0:10:140:10:17

Come on. It's bleeding awful out there.

0:10:170:10:20

Does the phrase lighten... ?

0:10:200:10:22

We've been doing the cuts, we've been doing WikiLeaks.

0:10:220:10:25

When are we getting on to the saucy jokes?

0:10:250:10:28

Saucy jokes?

0:10:290:10:31

Have you got saucy jokes lined up? Forget all this rubbish.

0:10:310:10:35

Let's go for that angle, then. What did George Osborne say this week about two nuns in a bath?

0:10:350:10:40

-He enjoyed them immensely.

-And any other Conservatives shown their caring side this week?

0:10:410:10:45

Howard Flight, was it?

0:10:450:10:48

The newly-created Tory peer said the tax and benefit system:

0:10:480:10:51

How many people sit there as they're about to have sex, thinking about those things?

0:10:570:11:01

Me.

0:11:010:11:03

I've got a pocket calculator going.

0:11:030:11:06

I know a lot of Tory MPs who, when they're going to have sex, think about the financial implications.

0:11:060:11:11

And what's David Cameron been up to this week?

0:11:140:11:17

World Cup bid, which, as we speak now, the nation is jumping up and down with glee.

0:11:170:11:22

But we just don't know which nation it is.

0:11:220:11:25

We're recording before we know the result of the World Cup bid. We have to keep our options open.

0:11:250:11:30

But what chance did we have with those cheating foreign bastards, anyway?

0:11:300:11:34

It was quite... I found it quite odd that they took Beckham.

0:11:340:11:38

I know he's obviously a brilliant footballer etc, but he's not good with words, is he?

0:11:380:11:44

Was he just doing, like, keepy-ups in the background

0:11:440:11:47

while the other two did the talking? There was a clip on the radio that I heard where he said,

0:11:470:11:52

"Football's very important to our country and it's in our dinner... Ooh - DNA."

0:11:520:11:57

He genuinely said that. Like he'd seen it written down

0:11:570:12:00

and he'd heard it, but he'd not put the two together.

0:12:000:12:03

What's David Cameron been in trouble with the PC lobby this week?

0:12:030:12:08

He recounted a joke someone else had made about the Speaker, John Bercow.

0:12:080:12:12

Correct.

0:12:120:12:14

The joke was that some Tory MP had banged into John Bercow's car.

0:12:140:12:17

Bercow had said, "I'm not happy."

0:12:170:12:19

And then the MP had said "Well, which dwarf ARE you?"

0:12:190:12:23

Whilst the Government are upsetting the poor and the tiny, what's Ed Miliband been up to?

0:12:270:12:31

He's got a blank sheet. He was asked what his policies are, and he said, "We're starting again."

0:12:310:12:35

It's the new Labour policy. "Got any ideas? I haven't."

0:12:350:12:39

What else has Ed announced this week? Got a new catchphrase.

0:12:410:12:44

I can't believe it's not Labour.

0:12:440:12:48

Oh, no!

0:12:480:12:50

Was that the catchphrase?

0:12:500:12:53

-That's a good catchphrase.

-It's actually "Beyond New Labour."

0:12:550:12:58

He was compared to Buzz Lightyear because of this.

0:12:580:13:02

There was a hilarious put-down by Tory MP, Gavin Barwell.

0:13:020:13:05

Oh, those Tory MPs!

0:13:110:13:13

Ed is actually consulting with the people on Labour's new direction.

0:13:150:13:19

He's set up a discussion group on Twitter. Would you like to see what people have tweeted?

0:13:190:13:24

-Yes. Very, very much, please.

-Rosycottage says:

0:13:240:13:27

Nataliewh:

0:13:340:13:35

And peregr1n:

0:13:430:13:45

Why does an earthworm need to be sharpened?

0:13:470:13:50

In case you forgot your darts.

0:13:500:13:53

In case you forgot your darts, you sharpen an earthworm?!

0:13:530:13:55

What else are you going to sharpen to throw in the dartboard?

0:13:550:13:58

An earthworm would be one of my least favourite choices.

0:13:580:14:00

Yes, this is another week of political upheaval.

0:14:000:14:04

Ed Miliband has distanced himself from the New Labour years, proudly declaring:

0:14:040:14:08

Blimey. So, that's just him, Ken and North Korea left, then.

0:14:090:14:13

It was a disappointing week for former spin doctor Alastair Campbell, who narrowly missed out

0:14:130:14:18

on a Bad Sex Award.

0:14:180:14:19

The annual prize given to authors who write bad sex scenes.

0:14:190:14:23

And Campbell's normally really good at sexing up documents.

0:14:230:14:25

The winner was Rowan Somerville who impressed the judges with lines such as:

0:14:250:14:31

They should have gone for the Blair stuff.

0:14:380:14:41

That was the most excruciating sex I've ever s... read about.

0:14:410:14:44

You nearly said "saw"!

0:14:440:14:48

Through the windows at Number Ten, up the top of a ladder, in the bedroom, with the glasses.

0:14:480:14:51

Peter Stringfellow offered to repay his winter fuel allowance this week.

0:14:510:14:55

The first George Osborne knew about it was when he felt a wrinkled hand

0:14:550:14:58

shoving 400 quid down the front of his thong.

0:14:580:15:01

And so to round two, the one-armed bandit of news.

0:15:010:15:06

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:15:060:15:08

Here's the first one.

0:15:080:15:10

BUZZER

0:15:130:15:14

This is the man who's got all these millions of pounds' worth of paintings, Picasso's paintings,

0:15:150:15:19

which were bequeathed to him by Picasso in exchange for him fitting an electric blanket.

0:15:190:15:25

He's an electrician.

0:15:250:15:27

The family of Picasso are claiming that maybe he didn't receive them as a gift.

0:15:270:15:32

The former electrician claims he was given the pictures by the artist in the 1970s,

0:15:320:15:35

That's quite ironic, isn't it?

0:15:370:15:40

He's done work for other artists.

0:15:400:15:43

Apparently, he fitted a junction box to a zebra for Salvador Dali.

0:15:430:15:46

So...

0:15:460:15:48

Someone else has shown a surprising aptitude for art this week.

0:15:510:15:53

-Who was that?

-Some sort of animal?

0:15:530:15:56

Yeah. Wayne Rooney.

0:15:560:15:59

You're now expecting a really bad painting.

0:15:590:16:01

Potato prints is what I'm expecting.

0:16:010:16:04

This is his bowl of fruit.

0:16:040:16:07

It's all right, isn't it? It's better than I could do, that.

0:16:070:16:11

I say he was good - he was actually drawing Gary Neville.

0:16:110:16:14

Art critics have commented on the way that Wayne's painting manages to look at the fruit with fresh eyes.

0:16:160:16:20

Which is fair enough because he's probably never seen fruit before.

0:16:200:16:25

-Can anyone guess what the Sun's headlines was?

-Yes, given time and a certain amount of drugs.

0:16:250:16:30

Not "Roonbrant"?

0:16:320:16:35

No.

0:16:350:16:37

I thought they should have gone with "Hay-Wayne".

0:16:370:16:41

-That's brilliant.

-I wouldn't go that far, but thanks for patronising me.

0:16:410:16:44

This is the French electrician, who's been accused of stealing

0:16:440:16:47

paintings worth £50 million, whilst doing some work at Picasso's house.

0:16:470:16:52

To be fair, if he really wanted to rob him of 50 million he could

0:16:520:16:54

have just billed him for a couple of extra sockets and an outside light.

0:16:540:16:58

Picasso had the burglar alarm fitted after a spate of thefts.

0:16:580:17:01

Police never caught the culprit, in spite of releasing an artist's impression.

0:17:010:17:04

Here's the next one.

0:17:070:17:10

Are those potatoes?

0:17:130:17:16

You know that's not the answer to the question.

0:17:160:17:18

Have I Got Vegetables For You? Is that what this is called?

0:17:200:17:22

It is some weeks.

0:17:220:17:24

-I've no idea. Have you?

-No.

-We don't know, either.

0:17:240:17:27

I thought everyone knew this.

0:17:270:17:29

-I know it.

-What is it?

-I'll have a look.

0:17:290:17:33

It's Chris Voigt, who has eaten nothing but potatoes for the last two months.

0:17:330:17:38

He's the executive director of the Washington Potato Commission.

0:17:380:17:42

His mission was to prove that:

0:17:420:17:44

Has anyone said it was the scourge of the Earth?

0:17:460:17:49

Chris had to skip the traditional Thanksgiving meal recently.

0:17:490:17:51

What did he have instead?

0:17:510:17:54

Potatoes.

0:17:540:17:55

-Roast potato.

-No.

0:17:550:17:58

-Just potato.

-It's a type of potato.

-Baked?

-No.

0:17:580:18:02

-Mash?

-Mash, but mashed what?

0:18:020:18:05

-Potato.

-Correct.

0:18:050:18:07

In other food news, what was auctioned for £410 this week?

0:18:080:18:13

A boiled egg that was once eaten by Queen Victoria.

0:18:130:18:15

-You can't have it both ways.

-She did.

0:18:170:18:21

Shall I give you a clue?

0:18:210:18:23

Do you want me to mime it?

0:18:230:18:25

-Yeah.

-Giant.

0:18:250:18:27

-Tooth.

-How do you eat your own teeth?

0:18:270:18:31

Times are hard.

0:18:320:18:34

It rhymes with bustard cream.

0:18:340:18:36

Custard Cream, then.

0:18:380:18:40

A giant one. Or maybe it's normal sized, and two Borrowers eating it.

0:18:400:18:43

A study claimed an estimated 25 million people in Britain had been injured by biscuits.

0:18:430:18:49

This is American Chris Voigt, who has eaten nothing but potatoes for the past two months.

0:19:110:19:14

Voigt doubled the original length of his potato-only diet to 60 days because, as he said:

0:19:140:19:20

Unless it involves a promise and Nick Clegg.

0:19:230:19:25

Time now for the odd one out round.

0:19:280:19:30

The four are, Harrison Ford, ITV1's breakfast show, Daybreak, Stephen Fry and Sunday April 11th, 1954.

0:19:300:19:37

-I think that's the only date that nothing happened on.

-Almost.

0:19:370:19:42

-It's the most what of the century?

-Boring.

0:19:420:19:45

Correct.

0:19:450:19:47

Until today.

0:19:470:19:48

-Sorry.

-I've had a lovely day.

0:19:510:19:53

Nothing at all happened in 1954 on that day?

0:19:530:19:55

It's a computer programme, where they put in all the facts of what happened when,

0:19:550:19:59

and that's the day that's come up with the least things have happened.

0:19:590:20:02

Right. After finding that every day of the last century had at least one major occurrence,

0:20:020:20:07

computer programmer William Tunstall-Pedoe

0:20:070:20:10

had calculated April 11th 1954 as the most boring day in the twentieth century.

0:20:100:20:14

We've now established that that's boring.

0:20:140:20:16

The Daybreak couple aren't exactly exhilarating.

0:20:160:20:19

-Maybe they're boring as well.

-Do you not like them?

-I've not watched them.

0:20:190:20:25

I've not liked them enough to watch them.

0:20:250:20:27

-Do you watch the other side?

-No, it's morning, love. I don't do mornings.

0:20:270:20:31

-Stephen Fry is the odd one out cos he's clearly not boring.

-No.

0:20:310:20:34

He's been labelled boring as well.

0:20:340:20:36

They have all been branded boring apart from ITV's Daybreak, which was described

0:20:360:20:41

in much more critical terms by its presenter Adrian Chiles this week.

0:20:410:20:45

-He said it was a disaster.

-According to the Sunday Mirror:

0:20:450:20:47

I'm not sure they've quite understood the essential feature of a four-letter word there.

0:20:530:20:56

-Did he do it on the actual show, though?

-No. He didn't get 7:00am Tourette's.

0:21:000:21:05

"Welcome to A Crock of Shite."

0:21:050:21:08

He actually told the Guardian:

0:21:080:21:10

Maybe he should read Heat magazine instead.

0:21:370:21:40

Chiles isn't the only presenter having trouble this week.

0:21:400:21:43

Let's look at Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast.

0:21:430:21:46

More than two million people have put money into Irish banks... FARTS

0:21:460:21:53

-He could have got away with that, had she not given him a look.

-Again!

-I'd like to see that again.

0:21:530:21:59

More than two million people have put money... FARTS

0:21:590:22:03

It's a buzzer, isn't it?

0:22:060:22:07

It sounds like a buzzer.

0:22:070:22:09

-RINGS

-Not that buzzer.

0:22:090:22:11

Is that the noise you make?!

0:22:110:22:14

Harrison Ford, the Indiana Jones star, was recently described as

0:22:160:22:18

boring by one of the UK's most feared and respected film critics.

0:22:180:22:23

-Oh, sorry. No. Claudia Winkleman.

-Which film did she think was boring?

0:22:230:22:28

She said that HE was boring. She told the Mirror:

0:22:280:22:30

That's because Indiana Jones is a character.

0:22:360:22:39

Film critic Claudia Winkleman recently described movie star

0:22:390:22:42

Harrison Ford as "a little bit boring."

0:22:420:22:45

Well, I certainly yawned my way through Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Blade Runner,

0:22:450:22:49

and yet Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two has me on the edge of my seat.

0:22:490:22:54

Stephen Fry famously quit Twitter last year, after a fellow tweeter said he admired and adored Mr Fry,

0:22:540:23:01

but added that he found his tweets:

0:23:010:23:04

Going back to the date, as well.

0:23:060:23:08

There are a couple of things that did happen. Anyone hazard a guess?

0:23:080:23:12

Yes, Mrs Lillian Morris of 23 Shepton Way, Shepton Mallet, turned into a horse.

0:23:120:23:18

In front of her startled husband, who was expecting something smaller.

0:23:200:23:25

You're close. It was:

0:23:250:23:26

Some may say that April 11 1954 was a boring day. But I know different.

0:23:320:23:37

I happen to know that on that it was that day that an eight-year-old Ken Livingstone

0:23:370:23:40

acquired his first newt.

0:23:400:23:42

It was three years later.

0:23:420:23:44

I think you'll find that's a mi-newt detail.

0:23:480:23:50

Is that true, Ken?

0:23:520:23:54

It was a male smooth newt and it was 1957.

0:23:540:23:57

Everyone remembers their first newt, just like their first sex, you know.

0:23:570:24:03

-Don't you?

-Did the two things coincide, in your case?

0:24:030:24:07

Time now for the missing words round, which this week features,

0:24:070:24:10

as its guest publication, Mollusc World.

0:24:100:24:14

It's an OK magazine, but not really worth shelling out for.

0:24:140:24:17

GROANS

0:24:170:24:19

We start with:

0:24:190:24:20

The cost of their carbon emissions.

0:24:230:24:25

Congestion charge, if Ken gets his way.

0:24:250:24:28

It's only a matter of time until you're back.

0:24:280:24:31

I'm counting down the days.

0:24:310:24:34

17 months. It's going to be a long 17 months.

0:24:340:24:36

-Are you going to be in before the Olympics or after?

-Ten weeks before.

0:24:360:24:40

If you get in, are you going to keep the Olympics?

0:24:400:24:43

-Did I get it right?

-No, you didn't. You weren't even close.

0:24:450:24:48

But it was a good way of getting across your manifesto.

0:24:480:24:51

This is Angela Duran from Galicia in Spain, who has registered a claim to own the sun,

0:24:560:25:01

so she can charge everyone on Earth for using it.

0:25:010:25:04

Lawyers say technically she can buy the sun, as long as she's resident there for three years first.

0:25:040:25:09

Next:

0:25:090:25:11

-Seduced.

-Frightened.

-Deceived.

0:25:160:25:18

Attacked.

0:25:180:25:19

-Deceived by goats?

-Outwitted?

0:25:190:25:22

-Rumbled by goats?

-What?

0:25:250:25:27

They found out she wasn't a goat?

0:25:270:25:28

There's one here with a crown on, lads.

0:25:280:25:31

The answer is:

0:25:310:25:33

During a state visit to Oman, two goats bowed their heads to the Queen.

0:25:350:25:39

According to BBC News:

0:25:390:25:40

In what Prince Phillip calls Operation Towel Head.

0:25:450:25:49

Next:

0:25:490:25:51

Or are you just going to clam up?

0:25:550:25:57

-Are you going to be that shellfish?

-That's the answer.

0:26:040:26:06

-Is it?

-It is the answer, yes.

0:26:060:26:08

It's a bit of an old joke. The correct answer is because under the coalition Government,

0:26:130:26:17

oysters, like everyone else, don't have enough disposable income to give to charity. Finally:

0:26:170:26:22

Death to the Chuckle Brothers.

0:26:240:26:28

What you said in the Guardian the other day, that reality is the enemy of comedy.

0:26:280:26:34

What did you mean by that?

0:26:340:26:35

I say there's too much realism in comedy.

0:26:350:26:37

Like the Office and stuff. It's good, but too many have copied it.

0:26:370:26:41

There's nothing realistic about two nuns in a bath.

0:26:410:26:43

You've led a sheltered life.

0:26:430:26:45

Is that when you first spotted the newts?

0:26:500:26:53

A shrine for the Chuckle Brothers.

0:26:530:26:56

This is 39-year-old Shaun Hope. According to the Sun:

0:26:580:27:02

Making him the only man on the planet who's actually

0:27:050:27:07

more disturbing than the Chuckle Brothers themselves.

0:27:070:27:09

So, the final stores are, Ian and Sarah have six, Paul and Ken have seven.

0:27:120:27:16

APPLAUSE

0:27:160:27:18

Before we go...

0:27:230:27:25

Ken looks incredibly happy there.

0:27:250:27:27

That's a win, Ken. Do you remember that feeling?

0:27:270:27:29

Yes. You voted for the other bugger, you sod.

0:27:310:27:34

If it keeps you unhappy, yes.

0:27:340:27:36

Before we go, there's just time for the caption competition. Paul and Ken get this.

0:27:380:27:42

Triplets question mixed parentage.

0:27:420:27:44

Ian and Sarah have that.

0:27:460:27:48

Every one a winner.

0:27:500:27:52

And I leave you with news that in a bid to kick-start

0:27:560:27:58

his career, Jim Davidson does a night at the Delhi Empire.

0:27:580:28:01

On her first visit to his Hampstead home, there's a shock for Katy Perry

0:28:050:28:10

when Russell brand forgets to clear out the fridge.

0:28:100:28:12

And, after a tense EU summit meeting, the Irish Finance Minister offers to pay for dinner.

0:28:160:28:20

Goodnight.
