Good evening, welcome to Have I Got News For You, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
I'm Frank Skinner. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
In the news this week, BBC Breakfast presenters | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
discuss a busy morning interviewing Bernie Ecclestone and his wife. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
At a hotel in Morecambe, with a party of Scots arriving, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
staff quickly hide any material that may offend them. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
And in Doncaster, Mrs Ivy Hinchcliffe | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
still hasn't come home from bingo. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
AUDIENCE: Aww. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
On Ian's team tonight is a comedian and former political advisor | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
for the Labour Party who does an impression of Tony Blair. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
In fact he's so good, he managed to get his fee | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
for tonight's appearance up to half a million quid. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Please welcome Matt Forde. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
And with Paul tonight is an actor and comedian | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
who lists his hobbies as tea-tasting, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
fly-fishing and cricket. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
The last time he saw his doctor he tested negative for adrenaline. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Please welcome Miles Jupp. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
And we start with the bigger stories of the week. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Ian and Matt, take a look at this. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
It's the, er, bell end. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
That's the Chancellor going underground. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
This is the spending review. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
It's a triumph for the Chancellor. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
He's announced that he's got a fifth of the spending already sorted out. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
Which is brilliant, so only 80% of it yet to do. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
So far, the deficit this year is right down to 120 billion. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
That's £120 billion we've borrowed more than we've earned. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
So you can see we're really getting to grips with the debt, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
and we're not at all bankrupt, except a lot. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
So health spending will be unaffected by budget cuts. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
Why is that particularly welcome this week? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
So that A&Es aren't even more stressed? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-Mm. -Even fuller? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
-Yes, the research into operation timings suggests... -Oh yes! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
..you are more at risk of dying in hospital on a Friday. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
So if you're watching this on repeat, well done. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
Yeah, you've got to go in on a Monday. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
And then the probability goes down. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Until the weekend, when everyone's off. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
It's terrifying. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
It's DIY, Saturday. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
They literally give you the tools. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
What's the latest thing to make people feel poorly? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
This is back into the financial area of things. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
It's money. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
If you eat coins, do you throw up? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
If you eat coins, do you throw up? Let's find out. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Nickel allergies are on the increase, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
and 5p and 10p coins now have four times more nickel in them | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
than a year ago. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
So according to research... | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
The problem's particularly bad in Yorkshire. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
And what's David Cameron been up to while all this has been going on? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
-He... He went to Ibiza. -Yes! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
How's he going to blag having gone to, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
like, one of the world's most notorious clubbing hot spots | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
at a time of national crisis? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Are there a lot of seals there? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
Don't you think it's a bit unfair? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-What, on him? -Yeah. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
I mean, the Prime Minister's got to have a holiday. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
It's not as though he'd do anything if he was here. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
I mean, do you feel safer with him in Ibiza or here? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
I'm not too bothered, really. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
I mean, it is unfair. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
Everyone said Churchill used to go on holiday, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
in the middle of the Second World War he went off to Marrakech. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
Took swimming holidays. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
And no-one said, "Churchill, what a bastard." | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Hitler wasn't too complimentary, but generally speaking. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Got a picture of the Camerons on holiday. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-Oh, that's charming. -That's lovely. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
They're not really holiday... It's not holiday garb, is it? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Are they goths, the Camerons? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Surely you could've worn a Hawaiian shirt or something of that nature. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Oh, can you imagine the tabloids if he'd worn a Hawaiian shirt? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-"How sickening!" -Yeah, you're quite right. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
"Terror stalks the land and Cameron wears an amusing shirt." | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
"What a bastard." | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
So, while things were stirring up in Southeast London with EDL marches | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
following the terror attack, what did some people on Twitter do? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
This is the trouble with Twitter. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
People get very excited very quickly, don't they? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-And they decided to protest against EDF. -Yes. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
I thought the brilliant EDL story | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
was not the one in London but the one in York, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
where the EDL, they marched on this mosque in York, furious men outside. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
They got to the mosque, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
and the people in the mosque invited them in for tea. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
And they had tea and biscuits and an impromptu game of football. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
-Yeah, that was... -And they mutually agreed that perhaps, you know, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
understanding was the way forward, and they went off. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Yeah. The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu said... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
On the subject of political ambition, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
who did David Cameron's old spin doctor Andy Coulson | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
warn him to beware of? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
-Old Boris Johnson. -Yes. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
It was an odd phrase, wasn't it? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
It was about - Boris won't intervene before the election, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
but he's happy for him to lose it. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
Words to that effect. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
Yes, this was... I mean, Andy Coulson, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-who has been charged with various offences... -Mm. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
..but he's still allowed to give interviews in GQ. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
I mean, we're not allowed to say anything about him, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
under the laws of contempt, obviously. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
And I wouldn't want to. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Is there...? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
If we are so wary of words, is there any way you could express | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
an opinion through contemporary dance? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
You'll get sued, you'll get sued. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
At last, someone can go to prison for mime. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
Yes, that's it. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:05 | |
With the economy going down the pan faster than a Chinese baby, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-George Osborne... -AUDIENCE GROANS | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
It's a happy ending. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
George Osborne is calling for further cuts. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
One minister refusing to agree to any cuts at all | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
is Environment Secretary Owen Patterson. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
According to one colleague... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
Don't worry, Owen. You won't go down in history. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Boris Johnson was recently described by his former boss | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
Conrad Black as... | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
Yes, he's both cunning | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
and found propped up on the pillow in many a woman's bedroom. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
Paul and Miles, take a look at this. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Ah, this is Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
navigating her way around the train. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
These are these bastards who come and sit with you | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
even though there's loads of empty seats. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
She went to France this week, she was in Paris, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
and she made her first speech in French, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
and she was a bit nervous about it but it went very well. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Everybody was very happy, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
they said, "Oh, nobody's ever spoken French like this before," | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
it's wonderful, she's a golden creature that seems to | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
bathe in heavenly light wherever she goes. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
She smokes fags as well. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-That's correct. -It is correct. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
And before she set off she had a word with the press and sounded | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
extremely confident about how well her first solo trip would go. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-My first solo. -Brilliant. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-My first solo. Probably my last. -No, no, no. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
Yeah, and it would've been had the Duke of Edinburgh's men not | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
been waiting in the wrong tunnel. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
I just, sorry, I just couldn't think of a mime for it. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Did you spot which form of transport she used to get to Paris? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
She was on a train, so unless that was wildly misleading, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
I'd say that's how she got there. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-Any particular train? -The Eurostar. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-The one that goes to Paris. -That's the one. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Here she is setting off, all looking very happy. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
And if you're wondering who's in charge of her luggage | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
it's this person. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
-Why was she going to Paris exactly? -I don't know. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
It didn't really grab me at the time and my ability | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
to manufacture interest in this story is woefully inadequate. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
She was there to see the work of charity Emmaus, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-of which she is the patron. -Oh, yes. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-Yes. -Homeless people, isn't it? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
Yeah, well, according to the Daily Mail it helps people by... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
So they phoned her. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
What did Camilla unexpectedly get from Sir Peter Ricketts? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
Rickets. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
He bought her a fake Cartier watch she'd been admiring | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
in the charity's second-hand shop. Here they are together. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
He looks very dodgy, doesn't he? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
And she looks like, "Can you get me away from this person?" | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
He looks like he comes with the watch. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Meanwhile, what were two men in the French city of Montpelier | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
the first to do? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Ah, two gay guys in France would be the first gay couple | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
to get married. Vincent and Bruno. I was staggered. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
I had no idea Bruno was seeing other people. I mean, it's terrible. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
Who pays for the ceremony in a gay wedding? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
You know traditionally it's the woman's dad? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-Yeah, not for a while, though. -Is that gone? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
Well...unless I was particularly unlucky. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
In other royal news, how did the Queen pose for a photograph | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
showing that she belonged to the Ancient Order of the Thistle? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
Oh, it's a striking dramatic photograph on a Scottish moor, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
isn't it? It looks like something you should see on a tea towel. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
I will do one day. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
Yes, this is the Queen in a Scottish glen. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
There we are, look at that. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
-MATT: Looking delighted. -Yeah. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
MILES: She does not know much about hill-walking, does she? | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
When I said, "Take the train to Scotland," that's not what I meant. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
It was for a book called Keepers Of The Kingdom. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
What did the book's author Alastair Bruce fear would | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-happen during the Queen's photoshoot at Balmoral? -Midges. -Yes. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
He thought the Queen would be put off by midges, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
and he explained there are two stages of a midge attack. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
Which is also the Queen's experience during the two halves | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
of the Royal Variety Show. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Meanwhile, what is happening to Prince Harry? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-He's worried that he's going to go bald. -Yes. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-That looks like a fine head of hair to me. -Yeah. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Finally to Prince Philip, he never lets us down. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
So what's his latest gaff? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
It's a small council flat in Newport. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
During a visit to a medical research laboratory in Cambridge | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
he asked a Polish scientist... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
He's mellowed, hasn't he? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Oh, dear. You'll miss him when he's not there. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
Well, I feel UKIP have filled that gap. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
So yes, this is Camilla's first solo engagement abroad. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
Camilla's trip to Paris was very successful, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
the only downside being that when she got home | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
she found the floor covered in takeaway cartons and beer cans. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Don't you hate that, girls, | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
when your bloke's just too lazy to ring for a footman? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
France has had its first gay marriage, which has sparked | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
a heated national debate, and according to the Guardian... | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Including a tour by Jim Davidson. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
The next round is the Strengthometer of News. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
Fingers on buzzers, team, here's the first one. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
We saw this picture last week, or something similar to it, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-but now we seem to have an owl, is it? Getting married to a mop. -Yes. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
This is Lightning the owl who's in love with a mop. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
It's said the mop has really turned the owl's head. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
Can you imagine how this love affair blossomed? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
It was either behind the scenes at Owl World, or... | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
-Or Mopland. -Yeah. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
Which is the biggest attraction of the Huddersfield area? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Well, the owl is being hand-reared in Newquay at... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
And what's brilliant about that is that you'd assume it was | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
a sanctuary for screech owls, but you would be wrong. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
It is in fact an owl sanctuary run by... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Similar confusion when Lord Dangerous | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
brought in the Dangerous Dogs Act. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Here is Lightning the owl with his new best friend. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
That looks like quite an abusive relationship. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-He's biting her! -No, that's grooming, clearly. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Well, he's a paedophile then. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Matt, you once dressed as a chicken, didn't you, for various reasons. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
I was working for the Labour Party at the time. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Is that compulsory? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
It was on a by-election campaign in 2004, and I would just walk around | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
behind Charles Kennedy dressed as a chicken | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
whilst a woman on a megaphone would go, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
"Lib Dems soft of crime! Soft on thugs! | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
"Soft on drugs!" And I would sort of dance like a chicken would... | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-Mmm -..to music like that. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-What happened in the by-election? -We lost the by-election. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
I suspect Charles Kennedy is watching this thinking, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
"Oh, it was real, that giant chicken!" | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
"I thought it was..." | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-He probably thought I was the Famous Grouse! -Exactly. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Does everyone have to do this when you start working...? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
I mean, is it a sort of initiation thing? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
All the people at the top now, did they have a time | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
when they had to dress as poultry around the East Midlands? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Gordon Brown walked around as a pigeon for three years. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Nothing to do with politics, it's one of his hobbies. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
Fingers on buzzers. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
BUZZER | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Oh, yes, this is your mock-up... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
It's Simon Cowell and Bruce Forsyth. Bruce has made a comment | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
about the young children that appear on... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Is it Britain's Got Talent? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
Is that the latest version that's going at the moment? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
So yes, it seems to be like, it's quite a hard thing | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
to ask these young kids to go out there and sing live | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
nd all that sort of thing. It's a bit of pressure. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
And I think he's complained about that and Simon Cowell says, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-"It makes me a load of money, I don't care." -Yes. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-It's the clash of the Saturday night titans. -Yes. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
Big Brucie versus...Super Simon. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
-You don't really do tabloid, do you? -No. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
-Sorry, I'll give up now. -What's it in Latin? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Er... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
Ad nauseam. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Yes, Bruce said... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Although it's also wrong to put adults through an ordeal | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
like his Strictly opening monologue. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
That's not true, Bruce. I love... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
I think Strictly without Bruce | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
would be like Formula 1 without the crashes. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
I've not heard about this story before, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
but I imagine there's probably arguments for and against. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
How did Simon respond to Bruce's comments? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
"I'm not gay." | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Is everyone giving up mime? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
I can't do that one on my own! | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
OK, moving from ham to beef, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
what excuse did a man from Sunderland | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
use in front of a courtroom this week | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
when charged with stealing a joint of beef? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
He had trouble using the self-scanning system. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-"Oh, for goodness sake! You don't have to be 18 to buy... -BLEEP -this." | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
Defendant John Casey claimed that he stole the joint of beef because... | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
She, of course, is no longer topside. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Finally in our Not-As-Dead- As-You-Might-Expect-Them-To-Be news, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
what happened to a lady in Cornwall | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
when she tried to organise a reunion? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Did she discover she was the only person | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
of whatever group it was that she was trying to reunite | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-that was still alive? -Suicide Club of 1936. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
"Haven't had a Christmas card from them since the War." | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
In fact, she was the only person who was dead. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
Or so they thought. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
The local paper had mistakenly printed her name | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
in an obituary for her mother 30 years ago. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
What a terrible shock for that poor lady. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
And for them, when she turned up suddenly. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
For 30 years they'd been having reunions going, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
"I tell you who'd have loved this - Gladys." "Jesus Christ!" | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Ah, yes. This is the spat between Bruce Forsyth | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
and Simon Cowell over children appearing on Britain's Got Talent. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
According to the Sun, Brucie said... | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Adding, "One of them was only 73!" | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Brucie has also threatened that he might present a brand-new show. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
He told an audience at a solo performance... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
What, as well as the adrenaline drip? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
Fingers on buzzers, teams. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
BELL | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
MATT: Six...men, I imagine, listening very intently to | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-the greatest prime minister Britain's ever had. -Where? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
MILES: Is Tony Blair considered | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
something of a giant in the Middle East? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
OK, where's the story? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-Well, he's the Middle East envoy, isn't he? -Yes. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
So I imagine he's been out there spreading peace | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
and people are going to be cynical about that. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Yes, they are quite cynical about it. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
His role in the Middle East has been branded "a huge joke". | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-By who?! -People like you, Ian. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
Er...yes. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Not the Chilcot Inquiry, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
which still hasn't reported four years later! | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
We had an inquiry into the supposed doings of Blair, and where is it? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
-Who did we get this information from? -John McCarthy. -John McCarthy! | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
The Telegraph said that he told a festival last week | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
that Mr Blair's role in... | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
So Matt, I think we've established you're a massive fan of Tony Blair. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
Is this for comic effect, or is it real? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
I mean, I don't... Well... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
It's real. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
OK, that's fine, I just wanted to know | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
whether amusement or pity was the correct response. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Oh, we can do both. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
So, who's doing better than Tony Blair | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
at delivering peace to the Middle East? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
Dappy from N-Dubz. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
I'm going to tell you. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
Tulisa from...whatever she's from. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
N-Dubz! It's N-Dubz! MILES: Yeah. That crowd. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Is everyone from N-Dubz? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Bouncer, who was...? Oh, Neighbours. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
Well, the Middle East, specifically Iran and Iraq, are, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
according to the Independent... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
"Hello, is it WMD you're looking for?" | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
This is the news that Palestinians have been critical | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
of Tony Blair's work bringing peace to the Middle East. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
According to the Independent... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Must be someone's job to sort that out! | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
This week, it was revealed that Lionel Richie is extremely popular | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
throughout the Middle East. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 | |
According to the Independent, when the US invaded Baghdad in 2003... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
After which survivors waiting to be dug out of the rubble | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
kept up a constant refrain | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
of "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
OK. It's now time for the Odd One Out round. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Adolf Hitler, Robert Mugabe, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
beards, and Yoda. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
The only thing that I've seen about Hitler in recent days | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
is there's a teapot, or kettle, rather, that's come out, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
that sort of closely resembles Adolf Hitler. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
Is the Hitler kettle...? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:37 | |
It includes the Hitler kettle. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
I think a good starting place for this is Yoda. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Not Yoda in his sort of day job | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
but in a sort of recent sideline he's developed. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
ALL: Vodafone. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
Yes. Stick with advertisers. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Robert Mugabe sponsors... Rice Krispies. I don't know. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
What...? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
Poor old Rice Krispies! | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Snap, Crackle, Dead. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
They're all officially advertising a product apart from Adolf Hitler, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
who is unwittingly advertising a kettle | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
because a billboard photo of the kettle looks like him. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
It does look like Hitler. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
That big empty space in the middle | 0:22:21 | 0:22:22 | |
where he's shot his face off, as well. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Have you got the hot water bottle that looks like Mussolini? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
That's amazing. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
It must be deliberate, it's got to be deliberate. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Once you see it, you can't see the kettle any more. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
The kettle's gone. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
I mean, it's even got the salute on the spout, hasn't it? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
If you want to accessorise, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
this would go well with an Eva Braun sandwich maker. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
Robert Mugabe - | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
the Zimbabwean dictator, for those of you who don't know who he is - | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
has been helping to advertise a range of clothing | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
in his home country. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
-Oh, yes. -According to a rather misleading item in the Scotsman... | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
I think he favours just the dark glasses... | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
So beards are the new thing in advertising, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
according to a Kentucky-based company | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
who have introduced "beardvertising". | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Oh, yes. People have adverts put onto their beards, clipped on. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
And I must say, it looks fabulously impressive. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
It's his face that sell it, isn't it? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
What other beards have been in the news recently? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
This is cats - people pose with cats, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
they hold their cat in a certain way | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
so it makes it look like the cat is part of a beard. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
Yeah. It's called "catbearding". | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Here's a catbeard. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
Oh! | 0:23:49 | 0:23:50 | |
And here's another. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
And, um...here's a dogbeard. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
Yes - the answer is they're all officially advertising a product, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
apart from Adolf Hitler, who is unwittingly advertising a kettle. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
Obviously, it's only got one boil. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
It's not so much the kettle that looks like Hitler I object to, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
it's their marketing slogan - | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
"ein Volk, ein Reich, ein sugar." | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
The Mugabe fashion line is the latest | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
in what commentators are calling... | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
It's not just in Zimbabwe - trendsetters in Tehran | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
are regularly seen out wearing their President Ahma-dinner jackets. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Now it's time for the Missing Words round. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
This week's guest publication is Hot Dip Galvanizing. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
It used to be called Dip Galvanizing, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
until it was bought by Richard Desmond. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
And we start with... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Plastic surgery to look like David Dimbleby. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
MILES: A number of completely unrelated items. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Well, she think she's seen them 140 times - | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
she might just have seen one of them 280 times. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Next... | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
MILES: Duets. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:23 | |
The answer is "slept". | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
AUDIENCE MEMBER GASPS | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
Yes, you're right to gasp. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
This is the Australian fisherman | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
who thought he'd caught a barramundi fish | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
and found it was a six-foot saltwater crocodile. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
I recently went fishing in the canal and I caught a barramundi. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Then I caught an old boot Tuesdi and a shopping trolley Wednesdi. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
Next... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
"Can't I be called Mr Chubby Chops instead?" | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
Director of Fat says, "Put it over there with the rest of the fat." | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
"Stop asking me, it's obvious - the fat pile's there." | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
This is an article about the new BBC studios | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
which appeared in Hot Dip Galvanizing. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
FAT is an organisation, uh.... | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
Yeah. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
And finally... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
MILES: Limbs...in a bath of acid, | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
is referred to as "a little suspicious". | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
Steel in a bath of zinc is referred to as galvanizing. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
-Steel is right, for the first one. -Galvanizing? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
-It's "steel in a bath of molten zinc..." -Zinc - I said zinc! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
-"..is referred to as hot dip galvanizing." -I said galvanizing, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
but I don't expect any points on this show. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Well, you should have gone on the Zinc Galvanizing Show, then. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
This is from Hot Dip Galvanizing, which features an article | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
about a new sports complex in Ostfildern in Germany which has... | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Or, as we call it, a door. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
So the final scores are Ian's team has five points, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
but Paul's team has seven points. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Before we go, there's just time for the caption competition. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
Ian and Matt have this... | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
"What's that, Skippy? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
"The guy fell down the stairs and none of us touched him?" | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Paul and Miles get that... | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Bastard wears hat. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
And I leave you with news that it's a job well done for one young man | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
as he successfully ties his own shoelaces. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Facing a hefty libel payout, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Sally and John Bercow attempt to raise some extra cash | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
by posing for a naked photo shoot. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
And even at the age of 127, | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
