Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You. I am Kirsty Young.

:00:48.:00:52.

In the news this week, at the London Studios, minutes before

:00:52.:00:56.

recording the show, Justin Bieber meets the cast of Loose Women and

:00:56.:01:06.

has second thoughts. At the Annual Professional Tennis Players Dinner,

:01:06.:01:16.
:01:16.:01:27.

one player finds out he has to sit And at Kensington Palace, the Queen

:01:27.:01:31.

vividly recreate the moment when the Archbishop of Canterbury

:01:31.:01:41.
:01:41.:01:42.

tripped over a Corky. -- a corgi. On Ian's team, an ex Conservative

:01:42.:01:47.

MP who claims his ancestor was the last man in Britain to be beheaded

:01:47.:01:51.

for treason, and his father was the first man in England to play

:01:51.:02:00.

Monopoly. Please take a large pinch of salt and welcome Gyles Brandreth.

:02:00.:02:04.

Factually accurate. On Paul's team, a comedian who recently revealed to

:02:04.:02:08.

the Telegraph that the thing that irritates him the most is people

:02:08.:02:11.

who are not curious. There is probably a good reason for that but

:02:11.:02:18.

I can't be bothered to ask. Please welcome Marcus Brigstocke. We start

:02:18.:02:27.

with the bigger stories of the week. Ian and Gyles, take a look at this.

:02:27.:02:37.
:02:37.:02:38.

Autumn! Look! Wright, the strike. Education policy at its height. The

:02:38.:02:43.

apostrophe is wrong. We have gone back to the 1930s. They are not

:02:44.:02:50.

trying to get another job in the Tory party. No, but it is almost

:02:50.:02:53.

compulsory to be gay in the Conservative Party. It is no longer

:02:53.:03:02.

the party with its back against the wall. This has got weird quicker

:03:02.:03:06.

then you said. You said it would get weird, but you reckon half way

:03:06.:03:11.

through. We have barely started. They are undeniably good-looking,

:03:11.:03:19.

aren't they? Yes, Gyles, they are lovely. I know your standards are

:03:19.:03:26.

quite high, but I think they are attractive young men. White Gyles,

:03:26.:03:31.

shall we focus? This is the strike of the week. Depending on which

:03:31.:03:36.

paper you read, it was a terrible strike or it was a non-event.

:03:36.:03:42.

According to the Guardian... Over 50 million people turned up.

:03:42.:03:45.

aroused strong passions on either side of the argument. There was

:03:45.:03:50.

time for some gentlemanly behaviour. This was an ITN reporter doing a

:03:50.:03:55.

piece to camera, obviously. She had asked everyone behind her to agree

:03:55.:04:02.

to keep the noise down. Tensions between the unions and Government

:04:02.:04:04.

have been heightened following yesterday's decision by the

:04:04.:04:11.

Chancellor to cap public sector pay rises at 1%. That was described in

:04:11.:04:15.

the Daily Mail as a vicious and violent uprising that ended in the

:04:15.:04:19.

death of eight police officers. Here is another picture that proves

:04:19.:04:29.
:04:29.:04:29.

the point. Look at these disgusting anarchists. That is a proper

:04:29.:04:34.

British strike! Who has been less than polite about the strikers?

:04:34.:04:39.

Jeremy Clarkson had a few words to say about this. He said they should

:04:39.:04:43.

all be taken out and shot in front of their families. Although he did

:04:43.:04:47.

say some other things before that, but they were not much nicer. He

:04:47.:04:50.

was keen on the idea of the strikes because it meant he could drive

:04:50.:04:54.

faster through London. The BBC apologised after Jeremy Clarkson

:04:54.:04:59.

appeared on the One Show on Wednesday. Just so that you can

:04:59.:05:04.

form your own opinion, here is what he actually said in context.

:05:04.:05:10.

Do you think the strikes would be a good idea? Fantastic. London has

:05:10.:05:15.

just been empty today. Everybody stayed at home, you could was about,

:05:15.:05:19.

restaurants were empty. The traffic has been good. We have to balance

:05:19.:05:24.

it, because this is the BBC. Frankly, I would have them more

:05:24.:05:29.

shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their

:05:29.:05:35.

families. How dare they go on strike. He was balancing it, saying

:05:35.:05:40.

there are two sides to every story. Not quite two sides. One, I can

:05:40.:05:45.

drive fast, and on the other hand, I hate them as well. We saw the

:05:45.:05:48.

beautiful George Osborne, as you said. He gave his autumn statement

:05:48.:05:52.

this week. The Mirror on Wednesday took their usual thoughtful,

:05:52.:06:02.
:06:02.:06:08.

That is true. It sounds like a joke but he did go through that. It is

:06:08.:06:12.

weeks like this that made me glad I am no longer in politics. I think

:06:12.:06:21.

everyone feels the same! The truth is, the one thing I could not stand

:06:21.:06:30.

about being an MP were my constituents. You may loth members

:06:30.:06:35.

of parliament, but it is as nothing as to how we feel about you.

:06:35.:06:39.

other big headline this week was that despite everything it is going

:06:39.:06:42.

to take longer to pay off some of the country's debt than the

:06:42.:06:46.

Government thought, seven years, rather than five. Shall we hear

:06:47.:06:50.

what Paul Johnson from the Institute of Fiscal Studies has to

:06:50.:06:54.

say. What we have been pointing out free while is that five years of

:06:54.:06:59.

spending cuts is more than we have managed before. Seven years is even

:06:59.:07:03.

more. Just add to the gloom, I don't know if you have been

:07:03.:07:06.

watching Jeremy Paxman, but this was him signing off from Newsnight

:07:06.:07:11.

on Tuesday. That is all from Newsnight tonight and we will be

:07:11.:07:17.

back to depress you again tomorrow night. One of the measures the

:07:17.:07:21.

George Osborne announced was an increase in the tax on banks. It is

:07:21.:07:29.

going to go up by how much, according to the Daily Mail? 0.02 %.

:07:29.:07:34.

You are very close. The Daily Mail said the tax on banks is going to

:07:34.:07:40.

rise 10%. Technically, it went up to 0.088 %. It was a very depressed

:07:40.:07:44.

fellow from KPMG, a spokesman for the accountants, who said that the

:07:44.:07:48.

banks will again question the attractiveness of operating in the

:07:48.:07:54.

UK. They were all moved to Greece, presumably, or Italy, Spain, or any

:07:54.:07:59.

of the other burgeoning banking economies. -- they will all move.

:07:59.:08:03.

Wide and the public sector workers threaten to leave? It works for the

:08:03.:08:07.

bankers. Anything happens, and they say, we will go. Just have the

:08:07.:08:11.

nurses and teachers say, we will go. It would just be Jeremy Clarkson

:08:11.:08:20.

left going, this is brilliant! George Osborne delivered his autumn

:08:20.:08:24.

statement this week, according to the Office of budget responsibility

:08:24.:08:28.

bee forecasts. The worst year for the economy will be 2012. Just as

:08:28.:08:32.

well we are not hosting any massively expensive sports

:08:32.:08:36.

extravaganza. Responding to the Autumn Statement, one MP said,

:08:36.:08:39.

George Osborne is a Marmite politician. Some people love him,

:08:39.:08:46.

some people would rather see him in an accident on the M1. Paul and

:08:46.:08:51.

Marcus, look at this. This is the Leveson inquiry going on. He looks

:08:51.:08:55.

like Rupert Murdoch. There is Charlotte Church, who has turned up

:08:55.:08:59.

talking about her dealings with the Murdoch press. That is one of the

:08:59.:09:03.

few reporters to be interviewed. That is Andy Coulson and Rebekah

:09:03.:09:11.

Brooks. If we lip read them, we can find out what is going on. Alastair

:09:11.:09:16.

Campbell. That is basically what it is about. Charlotte Church, she was

:09:16.:09:21.

asked to sing at Rupert Murdoch's marriage. Do you want �100,000 or

:09:21.:09:26.

good coverage in the press? She said �100,000, because she was 13,

:09:26.:09:29.

but was advised to go for good coverage in the press. They printed

:09:29.:09:33.

a couple of stories about her and approaching her 16th birthday, the

:09:33.:09:37.

Sun ran a countdown deadline to her 16th birthday when it was legal to

:09:37.:09:44.

have sex with her. Nice! I wonder how much Tony Blair was paid for

:09:44.:09:48.

being godfather at the christening. Is the Charlotte Church's

:09:48.:09:55.

Godfather? He is the godfather of murder's child. Yona he runs a

:09:55.:10:05.
:10:05.:10:05.

baptism surface. BOP -- he runs a baptism service. It is 500 quid,

:10:05.:10:15.
:10:15.:10:15.

plus expenses. I think she sang in the end. Cherie Blair? I would have

:10:15.:10:20.

paid �100,000 for that. Paul McMullen said the extraordinary

:10:20.:10:23.

thing that only paedophiles need privacy, because you if -- if you

:10:23.:10:29.

are demanding privacy must be up to something bad. Every time he opens

:10:29.:10:32.

his mouth, I think, that is it, the free press is finished. There is

:10:32.:10:36.

nothing he is embarrassed about. What did he say about phone

:10:36.:10:41.

hacking? He said phone hacking is a force for good. There have been

:10:41.:10:44.

examples where phones have been hacked and stories and the public

:10:44.:10:48.

interest have come out. Freedom of the press is immensely important in

:10:48.:10:52.

a democracy and it is hard to imagine how we would manage to vote

:10:52.:11:02.
:11:02.:11:02.

if we did not know how soon we could BLEEP Charlotte Church.

:11:02.:11:06.

see some more of his gems to the committee. He said phone hacking

:11:06.:11:10.

brings to light stories which people want to keep hidden because

:11:10.:11:14.

no one needs privacy. In twenty-one years of invading people's privacy,

:11:14.:11:18.

I've never found anyone doing anything good. When it came to

:11:18.:11:22.

describing Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks, he described them as arch

:11:22.:11:28.

criminal and criminal in-Chief. And scum of the Earth. And when he was

:11:28.:11:33.

asked why, he said, for trying to drop me and my colleagues in it. He

:11:33.:11:37.

did insist that both Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson not only knew

:11:37.:11:42.

about phone hacking but that indeed they ordered it. Rebekah Brooks and

:11:42.:11:46.

Andy Coulson deny this, as we know. You are adding that for balance.

:11:46.:11:54.

The only light thing was that Alastair Campbell turned up. Until

:11:54.:11:58.

that point it was looking dire for the press. He said, people leak

:11:58.:12:01.

stories on the press room them. This is from the New Labour spin

:12:02.:12:08.

doctor. It was good to see the pot calling the kettle unethical.

:12:08.:12:12.

also suggested that the Daily Mirror's scoop on Cherie Blair's

:12:12.:12:15.

for the baby was obtained through phone hacking. He would probably

:12:15.:12:19.

know because he used to work for them if he could ring up his mates.

:12:19.:12:27.

But Piers Morgan was the editor then, so that cannot be right.

:12:28.:12:34.

Won his Piers Morgan being called to give a statement? I think they

:12:34.:12:38.

are going over to appear on his show. Charlotte Church said she was

:12:38.:12:42.

surprised to be asked to sing at Rupert Murdoch's wedding,

:12:42.:12:47.

especially as it was a funeral song. Although presumably it had been

:12:47.:12:50.

requested by an optimistic Wendi Deng. JK Rowling told the inquiry

:12:51.:12:55.

she was horrified when a journalist tried to contact her by slipping a

:12:55.:12:58.

letter into her five-year-old daughter's School bag. She knew it

:12:58.:13:02.

could not be from her daughter as it was badly written and full of

:13:02.:13:06.

spelling mistakes. Given that we have been talking about miserable

:13:06.:13:12.

celebrities, let's see some of them having a jolly old time.

:13:12.:13:18.

# Consider yourself Willian # Consider yourself part of the

:13:18.:13:20.

:13:20.:13:30.

budget. There will be no programmes on Christmas Day, just that, on a

:13:53.:14:03.
:14:03.:14:04.

loop, followed by an apology. some reason, Paul and I were not

:14:04.:14:10.

asked to be on that. I could not make it. Just me! I would have

:14:10.:14:15.

thought I was jolly enough. I would have joined in the fund. On top of

:14:15.:14:20.

the tree, you would look lovely. Why did we watch that? To cheer us

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:54.

So, to round two. Is that the This elaborately Photoshop image...

:14:54.:15:01.

The idea that Hitler spent some time in Liverpool. The author has

:15:01.:15:07.

written the book, they Hitler as of Liverpool. It explores the theory

:15:07.:15:14.

that Hitler stayed in a flat with his married half-brother in 1912.

:15:14.:15:19.

According to the Daily Mail, he sent money over so that his sister

:15:19.:15:23.

good come and join him but Adolf Hitler took the money and travelled

:15:23.:15:30.

over instead. The more you hear about him... According to the Sun,

:15:30.:15:35.

Hitler also visited London and loved target. But eerie the way it

:15:35.:15:45.
:15:45.:15:45.

just opened like that. Hitler was apparently a... Do you have a lot

:15:45.:15:51.

of Hitler jokes? Hitler was a regular in his local pub where he

:15:51.:15:59.

never caused any trouble. On one occasion, he downed a pipe -- pint

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:10.

rather quickly but he was only obeying last August. I like that!

:16:10.:16:19.

Fingers on buzzers. Sorry! I just acted because I heard the words of

:16:19.:16:29.
:16:29.:16:42.

command. That Hitler is a funny look, isn't it?

:16:42.:16:48.

This is a woman being inflicted on the beach. It is the girl accused

:16:48.:16:52.

of being a Russian spy because she went out with a politician. This

:16:52.:16:58.

found that she was not a Russian spy, just a Russian!. You're quite

:16:58.:17:05.

right. She used to go into the BBC canteen and say, the sausages are

:17:05.:17:11.

the calls for this time of year. think they thought she was a spy

:17:11.:17:14.

because she made a beeline for a member of the Liberal Democratic

:17:14.:17:19.

Party. Not very well informed them. What other reason could there

:17:19.:17:26.

possibly? For me in the Kremlin say, they're going to make Corderoy

:17:26.:17:36.
:17:36.:18:03.

I just want to ring MI5! The show must not be going out this week,

:18:03.:18:13.
:18:13.:18:13.

these are cardboard figures! That's not Gyles Brandreth, it is a pub at

:18:13.:18:17.

from another show exhibition Mark this woman with the Lib Dem MP Mike

:18:17.:18:27.
:18:27.:18:29.

Hancock. She had a thing for older men with not much power. I would

:18:29.:18:32.

have been drawn to her because looking at the picture, she looks a

:18:32.:18:42.
:18:42.:18:42.

little bit like Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher as a girl. Those

:18:42.:18:49.

two men don't come as part of the package! She has been cleared by an

:18:49.:18:54.

immigration tribunal of being a Russian spy. What was the crucial

:18:54.:19:00.

evidence? She kept a diary. Wouldn't that be your cover

:19:00.:19:05.

anywhere. I thought about spying but I'm not going to do it, that is

:19:05.:19:10.

what you were right. The tribunal concluded that their liaison was

:19:10.:19:20.
:19:20.:19:20.

enduring and genuine. That seems a bit harsh, doesn't it? Do you kinky

:19:21.:19:30.
:19:31.:19:36.

is attractive? I am sorry I told you in confidence! What did we

:19:36.:19:42.

learn from her Derry that might have convinced the panel? We would

:19:42.:19:51.

and read other people's diaries but Ian Wood. She said in her diary

:19:51.:20:01.
:20:01.:20:08.

Heading the tribunal, Justice Mitting found that she was not a

:20:08.:20:13.

spy and simply formed general emotional relationship with older

:20:13.:20:22.

men. Adding, call me. Time now for the odd one out round. The winner

:20:22.:20:28.

of the Turner Art Prize, David Cameron, a football team and the CD

:20:28.:20:37.

of Benedict. The Turner award, I've never heard of that. It's maybe

:20:37.:20:43.

something about not being very good. The football team - they either win

:20:43.:20:50.

every match or lose every match. This is where I start running out

:20:51.:20:56.

of steam because it never heard of Benedict or David Cameron. Is it

:20:57.:21:03.

about failure? It might be. Benedict's send and thousands of

:21:03.:21:13.
:21:13.:21:13.

CVs. Kaka and just trying to be encouraging. Patronising is good,

:21:13.:21:23.
:21:23.:21:27.

too. I'm sure she didn't mean it. Prizes for being bad at stuff? He

:21:27.:21:32.

has the worst CV anyone has ever seen it so the odd one out is David

:21:32.:21:42.
:21:42.:21:46.

Cameron. He has won a prize this week for G Q man of the year. He

:21:46.:21:54.

lost out to Ian Hislop, playmate of the ear! David Cameron is the odd

:21:54.:21:58.

one out because he has failed to live. They have all been described

:21:58.:22:03.

as the worst ever apart from David Cameron who is merely the worst

:22:03.:22:13.
:22:13.:22:15.

politician in history since William Gladstone. He was caught on tape as

:22:15.:22:21.

a London party say it. What an invasion of privacy! He went on to

:22:22.:22:31.
:22:32.:22:42.

The football team kicks from Cornwall have been described as the

:22:42.:22:47.

worst ever to grace a great British soil after losing all their matches.

:22:47.:22:55.

Their worst result was 55-0. Things got so bad for the team that the

:22:56.:23:04.

phrase, if you don't want to look at the score, look away now, became

:23:04.:23:09.

part of the manager's pep-talk. Last year's winner was a plate

:23:10.:23:15.

holding a large chilly and three small ones. It represented a very

:23:15.:23:23.

disappointing episode of master chef. Here it is. Keep what

:23:23.:23:30.

criteria do you think the turn up Prize entries are judged on?

:23:30.:23:36.

Cooking they must be pounds. They are based on the following Xscape

:23:36.:23:46.
:23:46.:23:56.

Let's come to benedict. The 28 year-old from Manchester has been

:23:56.:24:01.

accused of writing the world's worst CV because it is too honest.

:24:01.:24:06.

What experience does he have in the world of work? Absolutely none of

:24:06.:24:16.
:24:16.:24:29.

but keener to learn. Duties at His CV isn't all bad, he does

:24:29.:24:39.
:24:39.:25:03.

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

:25:03.:25:08.

grass cuttings, the magazine of the British a long war museum. We start

:25:08.:25:18.
:25:18.:25:23.

with: You call it grass, I collet we'd, it's a generation thing.

:25:23.:25:33.
:25:33.:25:35.

collect Tomich two ways, I call it keeping it all my options open. Oh

:25:35.:25:41.

yes, I have met him, the people existed. He was with me for quite a

:25:41.:25:51.

time. It didn't work, then? He has claimed that yoga and Harry Potter

:25:51.:25:56.

deal with magic and are evil. Father Gabriel is the only Catholic

:25:56.:26:03.

priest who is still interested in Harry Potter films since the Starr

:26:03.:26:11.

has passed the age of 16. Is it, here is one for free in at your

:26:11.:26:17.

yoghurt. Somebody was the drink a yoghurt with some chance of fudge

:26:17.:26:27.
:26:27.:26:37.

but also at tooth. Was it somebody eating get from underneath? Whilst

:26:37.:26:41.

eating a pot of yoghurt, a lorry driver bit into a rotten tooth.

:26:41.:26:47.

Here it is. When he returned the offending pot to the local store,

:26:48.:26:53.

he was offered a refund of 68p but he would have got more money if he

:26:53.:27:03.
:27:03.:27:09.

had put it under his pillow! Oh no, it couldn't possibly be!

:27:09.:27:19.
:27:19.:27:36.

have ruled out circumcision? Yes, Is it a race? It suggests that

:27:36.:27:40.

there has been a spate of them. matter how dangerous and she might

:27:40.:27:44.

be, somewhere in the world there is always one man who wants to see

:27:44.:27:50.

what happens when he puts his penis in it. The final scores hour Ian
