A good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
I'm Brian Blessed. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Yes, it's me. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
LAUGHS | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm back again. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Now in the news this week as Silvio Berlusconi | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
celebrates his latest election result, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
his campaign team call off the hunt for his missing mistress. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Richard Hammond arrives at A&E having driven an open top car | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
under a low bridge. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
And there's delight for Eric Pickles as his new toasting fork | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
is finally delivered! | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
On Ian's team tonight, a left-wing politician who believes | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
the state should pay for everything.... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
except a ceremonial funeral. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Now please welcome the fantastic Ken Livingston. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
And with Paul tonight is a comedian, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
who in a previous job worked as a greetings card packer in a factory. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
On her last day, she was given hundreds of leaving cards | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and told to pop them in the delivery van on her way out. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Now please welcome the wonderful, gorgeous Bridget Christie. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
And we start with the biggest stories of the week. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Ian and Ken, take a look at this. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
There she is, swinging away. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
It's an old lady who's died this week. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Any thoughts, Ken? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Oh, look, she's burying you. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Oh, there we are - switching Britain on. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Well, you know, it's amazing, I haven't had an invite to the funeral yet, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
so I haven't been able to decline it. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Would you go? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
No, no. It would be a tad hypocritical | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
given she abolished me... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
..to turn up at her funeral. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
She's died and the BBC has been accused of bias. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
So luckily tonight it's rectified it by inviting Ken Livingston on. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Wednesday saw tributes in Parliament. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Anyone catch what Norman Lamont had to say? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
No. What did he have to say? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Don't you know, Paul? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
No, I don't. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
Me and Norman fell out some time ago. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
He said... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
What great judgement she had. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
There was a succession of rather wet elderly men | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
appearing on the tele saying, "She was awfully rude to us, you know? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
"And really horrid to Jeffery." | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
When you say, "wet, elderly men" have they just been fished from the Thames for their... | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
And there are some very elderly posh ones going, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
"God, I mean, she was a woman... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
"Rather vulgar... probably middle class. Ghastly. Ghastly. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
"And a woman." | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
There's been a lot of talk this week about the fact | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
that she was a woman, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
but I mean, I knew all along. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
We're sort of beyond gender, in a way. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
She had such conviction | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
and such amazing confidence in herself | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
that I think that whatever she'd been born, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
she wouldn't have thought that that was a hindrance. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Even if she'd been born a man... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
..or a goat, it wouldn't have stopped her. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-You think she'd have been Britain's first goat Prime Minister? -Well, she would have been. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
And now we'd all be saying, "Against all odds, at a time | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
"when it was inconceivable that a goat would have been elected as a | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
"member of parliament..." | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
I hardly think that she would have been against the Nanny State though. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
What did John Gummer have to say? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Nothing interesting. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
He said... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
What? Walking and picking up things? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
Did you also see the misunderstanding over a Twitter conversation called... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
Oh, yes. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Which upset fans of the popular singer Cher, who thought she'd died. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
Now that Cher's dead. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
There were some errors on mainstream television also. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Did you see how the BBC announced the news? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Yes, can we see it again? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
Sorry to interrupt you there, just cos there's one more line, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
just as you were reading that, which has just come in from Lord Bell. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
He's been quoted saying, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
"It is with great sadness that Mark | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
"and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
"died peacefully following a strike this morning." | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
And Thailand's Channel Five showed a photo of Meryl Streep instead. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Here's another question. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
Why weren't Thatcher's children there at the end? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Perhaps Mark was still on the run? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Yes that's... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Actually, I was on paper review with Carol Thatcher the day... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
It was revealed in the papers that Mark Thatcher was | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
a multi-millionaire. And she said, "I don't see how that can be. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
"He's never done a day's work in his life." | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
That's true. Keep it in. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
That's all the lawyer needs to hear. "That's true. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
"Keep it in." That's what we should do. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-It was in the autobiography and he hasn't sued. -But no-one's read that. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
-You're in it. -Am I? -Yeah. -Blimey. -Private eyes. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
It's when you said I had a secret Swiss bank account into which | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
Gaddafi put 250,000. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
-Did we get the figure wrong? -No... | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Well, I have to say they were abroad. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
What did Maggie once say about her son? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Did she only say something once about him? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, she said... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
But mainly just arms to nasty... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Now how did the BBC expose their own lefty tendencies | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
and their utter contempt for Thatcher's memory? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
They interviewed her enemies who said unpleasant things about her | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
and then they interviewed her friends, | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
most of whom also said unpleasant things about her. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
And now the BBC interviewed Gerry Adams. What did he say? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Didn't he go on about how she supported a whole | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
list of things he didn't approve of, basically. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Well, he said... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
Although not as much as all those bombs, eh, Jerry? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
All right, Jerry, any time, you pillock. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Straight between your gizzard. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
I thought he politically moved on from issuing threats | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
to former members of the IRA. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
The BBC also interviewed Maggie's biggest fan and disciple, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
Tony Blair. Did you see his tribute? He said... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
He certainly changed the landscape of Baghdad. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
I'm sorry, Tony. He had a heart operation. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
He had one put in? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
Now, Lord Howe of Aberavon was asked was | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
asked by Sky for his thoughts on his time in Thatcher's cabinet. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
He said... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
Yes, that's the idea when someone dies, Geoffrey. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
A bit of reminiscing about old stuff. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
COME ON, SHAPE UP! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
I think you were on safer ground attacking Geoffrey Howe | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
than you were with Gerry Adams. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Did you hear about Julian Styles? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
According to the Mirror... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
30 years...without a job. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
Pull your finger out, Julian, you lazy bastard! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
I'll kill you, you bastard. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Let's abandon this show. Brian says, "Who wants a fight?" | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
Line up in alphabetical order - Adams, you're first. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
-The celebrations... -There has been... -Speak. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
There have been lunacy on both sides. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
The more conservative press has got very overexcited | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
and there are plans to rename London Thatcher. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-Did you know that? -Port Stanley, I think. -And the statue. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Do you want her on the fourth plinth? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
When I became mayor I was told, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
because they were going, "What you going to do with it?" | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
I said "It's reserved for Her Majesty when she dies." | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
I'm not supposed to say that. They said, "You can't tell anyone". | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Rather than put the Queen up there we should have a statue, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
rather than actually put her up there. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
That would be a bit grisly. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
That's why they had all those temporary things | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
They put her up there, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
there will be endless demos, people trying to pull it down. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
It will be just like the Saddam Hussein thing - | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
people pulling it down with ropes. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
That and a ring of steel of Daily Mail readers guarding the flame. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
The celebrations of Thatcher's death | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
have been criticised by all sides, including Tony Blair. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
Blair said this... | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Although philosophically speaking, he'd be dead. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:44 | 0:10:45 | |
If he believes in an afterlife, he'll be looking down on the celebrations. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
- Or looking up. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Margaret Thatcher is to have a ceremonial funeral. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
-What's it going to cost? -Ten million. -Absolutely right. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
Between ten and 40 million. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
I don't understand this. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Look, when I was a kid, I used to make coffins. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
I left school at 14, love. I made hundreds of coffins. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
I could do it cheaply. Only cost 25 quid. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
In those days, even though they weren't dead | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
you punched them into the coffin - get down there. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
Brian has just offered to do the whole thing for 25 quid, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
which has got to be the lowest bid. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
I think it's out to tender, give it to Brian. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
The BBC News produced an artist's impression | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
of what the funeral might look like. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
It's a bit like Reservoir Dogs. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
All the retrospectives of Thatcher's reign | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
have brought back some memories. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Do you recall what the eminent Dr Jonathan Miller | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
said about Thatcher? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
It's good that Jonathan Miller reminds us | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
occasionally of what a twat he is. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-Line them up. -Line them up! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-Am I on that? -Yes, you're on this now. -I don't know what you're on! | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Yes, this is the solemn news that one of our greatest peacetime | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
prime ministers has died. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
But don't worry, GORDON'S ALIVE! | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
CHEERING / APPLAUSE | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Jeffrey Archer paid tribute to Lady Thatcher, saying... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
Jeffrey Archer, not just a terrible writer but also a terrible writer. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Lord Saatchi joined in the tribute saying... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Has he not read the papers? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
Lady Thatcher's funeral will be held in central London next Wednesday. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
It will be a full ceremonial occasion with military honours. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
But at her own request there will be no fly past. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
Although the Argentinean Air Force did offer. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Paul and Bridget, my sugar lumps. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-Yes. -Take a look at this. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Another one of the feel-good stories of the week. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
This is a man who is extremely dangerous. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Getting hop scotch very wrong. -Absolutely. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
There he is being applauded. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Every body laughing and clapping because he's fantastic. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
He's conducting his own symphony which he's written inside a tank. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
You managed to have someone on who makes Mrs Thatcher | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
look rational and human. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
That's why you're here. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:50 | 0:13:51 | |
Let's see how Jeremy Paxman | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
introduced this major international story on Newsnight. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
There have mercifully been no hostilities yet | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
and the natural response to the spectacle of a fat little man | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
in an absurd boiler suit issuing such threats is perhaps to laugh. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-Who wants to see the North Korean Embassy in London? -Yes, please. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
It's not quite as grand as you might expect. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
It's a semi-detached house in Ealing where according to neighbours... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
It's a seven-bedroom property so if nothing else North Korea | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
now owes us 98 quid a week in bedroom tax. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
What have US soldiers been doing which involves Camp Stanley? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
They're practicing anti-chemical warfare techniques. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
I've got terrible wind. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
This is chemical warfare. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
If someone kills Brian, the list of suspects is going to be enormous. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Some experts believe we can predict the next move of North Korea | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-because they've got a thing about the number nine. -Yes. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Now, what is it? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
It's a lucky number. It has a great significance in their culture. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-That's right. Now, nine is regarded as a very lucky number. -Yeah. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
The first nuclear test took place October 9th, 2006. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
That's my birthday. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
Second was on April 5th, 2009 and that's significant, | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
according to the magazine... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:28 | |
COUGHS | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
..Business Insider, because... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Sorry, what was the... Did you...? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
W-What was the first word? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
-Now, it says here five plus four equals nine... -Yeah. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-..and the nine of 2009. -Yeah. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-Now, the next nuclear test was on 12 December, 2012... -Yeah. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
..and therefore one plus two | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
plus one plus two plus one plus two | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-of 2012 equals nine. -Yeah. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
And the North Koreans announced they couldn't protect foreign diplomats | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-after Wednesday of this week which was... -The 9th. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
April the 10th. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
We're dealing with lunatics! | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
This is the deranged, power-crazed dictator... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
Hey, hang on a minute. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
Haven't we done with her? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
I'm getting it wrong, no. Obviously, it's Kim Jong Un | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
and his desire to make his own mark on the world | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
in the shape of a bloody great crater. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
And here's a recent picture of Kim Jong Un... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
applying for the manager's job at Sunderland. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Our tensions were further escalated this week when North Korea | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
warned they would restart their nuclear reactor with | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
the chilling words, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
"OK, boys, start pedalling." | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
And so on to Round Two and a new game that I'm calling | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
Have I Got Noise For You. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
Along with a picture clue, I'm going to make a noise... | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
LAUGHS | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
..which should tell you what the story's about. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
So we start with... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |

Now, what are those? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
KEN: I think the pandas have started having sex | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
but I don't think they make that much noise about it. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-They don't really get very, sort of, you know...horny. -No. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-It takes a lot to get them going. -Yeah. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Do you know you came top in a poll of the sexiest bearded men? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-Did I really? -Yeah, I heard about it somewhere. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
I mean you were only running against Osama bin Laden. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
Eh, this is the news that Yang Guang, Edinburgh Zoo's male panda, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
has had his radio switched from Classic FM to Smooth Radio to | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
help get him in the mood to mate. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-You didn't say that, did you? -No, we didn't, no. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
What have gorillas been in the news for this week? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
Two children... | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-Two children. -..were standing in front of their enclosure with bananas | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
and the gorilla went nuts, rightly so, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
and was banging on the glass and... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Brilliant, brilliant, Bridget, you've got it. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
A gorilla called Motaba has been indulging in a bit of what is | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
popularly called photobombing. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Here he is. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
This is the news that Edinburgh Zoo's pandas may be about to mate. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
According to the Telegraph, if the mating doesn't take place, the zoo | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
will attempt artificial insemination using samples taken from Yang Guang. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:53 | |
-He's not the president of North Korea, is he? -No. Not at the moment. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-No, I'm getting mixed up. -Yeah. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
I mean that's a traumatising experience for both a panda | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
and the work experience boy. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
And here's your next noise clue. Here we go. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Ka-ching! | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Boo! | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:15 | 0:19:16 | |
-This is the banker. -BRIDGET: Yes, Jim, James... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-Crosby. -Crosby. -Yep. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
So there were three bankers who were finally in HBOS which is | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Halifax-Bank of Scotland which collapsed spectacularly | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
and had to be bailed out by the taxpayer, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
and the three people in charge are finally, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
after all these years, been found guilty | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
and the Parliamentary Standards Committee were incredibly | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
cross with them and a banker has offered to give his knighthood back. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
Gosh, you're a mine of information. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
If he was a mine of information, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
Margaret Thatcher would have closed him down years ago. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Well, this lot... | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
What was interesting about this man, James Crosby, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
is as well as being in charge of HBOS, | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
he was deputy chairman of the Financial Services Authority which | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
was meant to look into scandals in the City and amazingly, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
he didn't see his own. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Why are we saying that that's a great thing for him to do? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
It doesn't really seem... I mean are titles very important? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
KEN: John Lennon returned his gong, didn't he, so it's a good precedent. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
BRIDGET: Yeah and I lost my title when I got married, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
it didn't bother me at all. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
-What were you? -Miss. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Ian, as well as his knighthood, | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
what's Sir James kindly giving back? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
He's giving back some of his pension. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
25% of his pension so he's got to get by on 400 grand a year. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
God knows how he'll manage. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
It's tough, isn't it, Ken? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
You tried. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Well, me dogs, he's kindly giving back 30% of his annual | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
pension every year until he dies. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
Though that still leaves him taking 400,000 a year or, | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
in other words, the piss. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-Now, time now for the Odd One Out round. -It's you! | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
Just one between you this week. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Liz Hurley, | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Carina Trimingham, | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
George Osborne | 0:21:06 | 0:21:07 | |
and a snow car. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
BRIDGET: Is it the car made of snow...because the other three | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
pollute the atmosphere? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Is it actually a car covered in snow or made out of snow? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
It's a car made of snow. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
KEN: Liz Hurley's then-partner got done in a small crime in a car | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
-parked, didn't he? -Yeah. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
-Hugh Grant. -Yes. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
You've got to name names, don't worry about Leveson. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
I'll protect you. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Either George Osborne has had an illicit affair or the car. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
Now, if you had to have sex with one of those two, which would you go for? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
BUZZER | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
We think it's the car. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-For the reason I gave? -No, no. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
BRIDGET: Osborne parked in a disabled bay this week in McDonalds | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
and he got a ticket. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
The car that's made out of snow was only a temporary problem because | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
it melted. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
-What's her car offence? -Liz Hurley? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
Hugh Grant. Oh, well... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
I don't think she was there, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
that's part of the reason why the offence occurred. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
-I think, I-I... -Yeah, go on, tell us. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Gentlemen...L-Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
I have to say that I'm actually losing my mind at the moment. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
I think we've gone way past that event. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:22 | 0:22:23 | |
They've all received a parking ticket apart from | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
George Osborne who didn't because he can park wherever he likes. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
According to the Mirror, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
he parked his £50,000 taxpayer-funded Land Rover | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
in a space for the disabled. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
Which Osborne clearly isn't, as we can see here... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |

DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Its a real shame he wasn't any good, | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
because beforehand he was so excited. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Sorry. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
That's the Olympic legacy in one clip. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
Carina Trimingham, Chris Huhne's girlfriend, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
was given a £110 penalty for parking in a permit-holder's bay | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
while visiting him at Wandsworth Prison. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
-I went to Ford once. -You went to what? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
-Ford Open Prison. -Did you? -Yeah, it's very nice in there. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
What were you done for? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
No, really, what were you done for? Just laughing it off like that. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Unless you feel you've paid your debt to society? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
I just don't feel we should go back. I've been rehabilitated. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
As what? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
He's in Leyhill Open Prison in Gloucestershire, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
which has been described as... | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
I usually prefer the Ritz. Though not this week, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
it must have been like that episode of Fawlty Towers in there. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
Liz Hurley was recently £240 worth of parking tickets | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
when she left her car on the streets of Mayfair for four days, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
after she had forgotten where she had parked it. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Apparently, it was down to the Sun newspaper, | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
who reported that they managed to trace the car | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
to the street where she left it. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
God, they're good! Aren't they? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
I wonder how they done it. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
I wonder if they used any sort of technology? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
Rich people don't behave like you and I - | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
all my money goes on my animals. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
We don't know about leaving a little car here and a little car there. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
-What animals do you have? -He's got 3,000 animals. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Yes, thousands of animals, yes. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
-And so we just... -What...? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
-What are they? -Are you expecting a flood? -I have to tell you now... | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Should we not know? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
They have all received | 0:25:05 | 0:25:06 | |
a parking ticket, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
apart from George Osborne, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
who didn't because he can park wherever he likes. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
George Osborne's car was parked illegally | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
when he went to get a meal in McDonald's. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Well, as a Chancellor, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
he's used to opening boxes with unpleasant surprises inside(!) | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Osborne stopped at McDonald's just off the M4 as he returned from... | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
Where a group of toddlers pointed out the holes | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
in his Deficit Reduction Plan. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
So, the final scores are... | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Bridget and Paul have got six. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
And my two friends on the right, the ex-Lord Mayor Mr Livingstone | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
and Ian Hislop - they've got six! | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
A wonderful draw! | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
APPLAUSE OVER CONVERSATION | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
That felt really good - someone referring to me and Ken as, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
"My two friends on the right". | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
On which note, we say thank you to our panellists - | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |

And so our little thing is, which won't be shown... | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
You can see my hands. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
We used to play marbles and we had ball bearings | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
and we had glass arrows and we had glass marbles in the war years. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
And as a good marble player... | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
