0:00:31 > 0:00:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Good evening. Welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42I'm Victoria Coren Mitchell.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44In the news this week,

0:00:44 > 0:00:47as accusations of doping continue to plague the athletics world,

0:00:47 > 0:00:51there are fears that some athletes may even have resorted

0:00:51 > 0:00:52to taking animal hormones.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Ready, go!

0:01:01 > 0:01:05In a new documentary about the sad fate of former child stars,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08ITV2 catches up with the sun from the Teletubbies.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17And in Los Angeles, after making a fortune in the advertising world,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Churchill the dog enjoys his retirement on Venice Beach.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31On Ian's team tonight is a comedian and actor

0:01:31 > 0:01:34who went to the same private school as George Osborne,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36which, by my reckoning, makes him

0:01:36 > 0:01:39the fourth poshest person on the show tonight.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Please welcome Hal Cruttenden.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43APPLAUSE

0:01:45 > 0:01:49And with Paul tonight is the traditional right-wing Tory MP

0:01:49 > 0:01:51who once claimed that guitars should be banned

0:01:51 > 0:01:52from the Roman Catholic Mass.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54He really has got a feel

0:01:54 > 0:01:57for what voters are talking about on the doorstep.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Please welcome Jacob Rees-Mogg MP.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02APPLAUSE

0:02:02 > 0:02:06And we start with what is really the only story in the news this week.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ian and Hal, take a look at this.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Oh, right, yes, big comic story of the week.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15That's France, that's the police.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18That's their rapid reaction force.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Oh, there's our rapid reaction force.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah, this is Paris and the tragedy there.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27And our attempts afterwards

0:02:27 > 0:02:30to work out what to do about what's happened.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32The answer so far being - we don't know.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36How terrified should you be? Should you leave your house at all, ever?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Again?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Or perhaps you should go out just a bit and then run inside quickly.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43It is...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I mean, it does strike me as one of the few things

0:02:45 > 0:02:48we are still allowed to do is make jokes.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49And laugh.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- So we might have a go at that. - Yes.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55APPLAUSE

0:02:57 > 0:03:01But we have to talk about the aftermath of the events in Paris.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04What has been the British government's immediate response?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Who have they hired?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Who have they hired? - They've hired 2,000 something.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Spies?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- HAL: Oh, SAS. - Spies?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Should we know that? - 1,900 extras.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17LAUGHTER

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Do you know what that will cost? - About £2 billion, I think.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25£2 billion for the SAS, another £2 billion for cyber security.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Where's this money suddenly come from?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Back of the sofa in the Chancellor's office.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34It comes from the magnificent management of the economy

0:03:34 > 0:03:36that the government has done.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39..the essential requirements of the safety of the nation.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I knew there'd be some comedy tonight.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Let's talk about the football match.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51What was remarkable about the football match on Tuesday?

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Oh, the English crowd joined with the French supporters in singing

0:03:55 > 0:03:58the French national anthem, which was a chance to show solidarity.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Which is not always the mark

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- of the supporter of the professional football game.- I love the way...

0:04:03 > 0:04:05It was sort of a little bit,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08the way the England fans sang that French national anthem,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12it reminded me of John Redwood at the Welsh Party Conference.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15That sort of... # Allons enfants de la Patrie... #

0:04:15 > 0:04:16It was wonderful.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Are you suggesting everyone didn't know all the words?- Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- I don't know them. Do you know them? - Well, yeah, obviously.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Not everyone knows the words to the English national anthem.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I think the leader of the Labour Party

0:04:29 > 0:04:31wasn't too clear on them a few weeks ago.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Now, I must...- Oh, God!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38And the Marseillaise is quite bloodthirsty, really.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42It is quite a full-on, defensive number,

0:04:42 > 0:04:44which is why it was quite moving really.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47But I think the French national anthem is perfect for this

0:04:47 > 0:04:49because it is all about we're going to stand up,

0:04:49 > 0:04:51whereas ours is all about just saving the Queen.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56We've already got enough security around her. It should really be...

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Yeah.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Wembley Stadium looked magnificent. The tricolor was up there.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The Tricolour has been put on various things.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06There are questions about taste.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Facebook brought in a Tricolour colour filter

0:05:08 > 0:05:10that everyone could have on their Facebook page.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13And Apple did that. And then there's...

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, look, there's the bit where the tax should be.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Then there's Uber, the curious cab company. They did that.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28There seems to be a bit of a pile-up north of the river.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33One of the most touching corporate tributes, this website...

0:05:33 > 0:05:36GASPS AND LAUGHTER

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh, that's proper solidarity.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Is that really true? I'm going to look that up when I get home.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51That's the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56How did Kay Burley of Sky News capture the national mood?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Ah, yes, this was a picture of a Labrador, I think,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02a Labrador which she said had sadness in his eyes.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yes, that's what Kay Burley tweeted.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07And people on Twitter were quick to respond with their own tweets.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Here's one.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- There's another here. - I'm sure I've met him.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Now, that is sad.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Anybody else say anything particularly intemperate?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Nigel Farage said something stupid, didn't he?

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Surely not.- Yes. He did.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Was he saying stop all the refugees coming or something? That was his...

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Rupert Murdoch had something to say about refugees. He's tweeted...

0:06:46 > 0:06:50One of the Republican presidential candidates has said the same.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Is it really embarrassing being right-wing sometimes?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55LAUGHTER

0:06:55 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE

0:06:59 > 0:07:02All I can say to that is Jeremy Corbyn.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07APPLAUSE

0:07:07 > 0:07:11You mentioned Jeremy Corbyn. How's he been coping with these events?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Well, he is a principled pacifist and he has expressed those views

0:07:15 > 0:07:18and said that the police shouldn't necessarily shoot to kill terrorists,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21and he seems to have very little support from his own MPs

0:07:21 > 0:07:25in saying this, who have rather revelled in taking a stronger line.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29I don't agree with him on this, but I rather admire his courage in saying

0:07:29 > 0:07:33something that is so deeply unpopular but which he profoundly believes.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35That's a very generous thing to say.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I think that's a very generous thing to say.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40APPLAUSE

0:07:40 > 0:07:42And because I'm so unpleasant,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- I'll just point out he retracted it less than a day later...- Yes.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49..which is strongly principled in the sense of not being.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52There is probably someone going, "For God's sake, just say yes.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54"Just say you'll press the button,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56"do your top button up and just do it.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00"Just lie, Jeremy, till we're in power.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04"That's what the Tories do, just lie till we're in power, and that's..."

0:08:04 > 0:08:05LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Anyway, if Labour win the next election,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10he'll be 70 and if he doesn't want to press the nuclear button,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12it'll be easy to overpower him.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16There was an allegedly stormy meeting

0:08:16 > 0:08:17of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20You say his MPs don't seem to support him,

0:08:20 > 0:08:21many of them attacked him.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24What was Diane Abbott doing at this meeting?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think that's private, isn't it?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Tweeting?- No.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Sexting? - She was doing...

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- LAUGHTER - Is that the same thing?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- In a way...- In a way.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40..according to the Mirror...

0:08:47 > 0:08:50The G20 summit was held in Turkey this week.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53What were the US and the major European nations

0:08:53 > 0:08:55trying to achieve at that summit?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58They were trying to get Putin to stop attacking the Free Syrian Army,

0:08:58 > 0:09:01concentrate on fighting ISIS, so we all have a big coalition.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02He was sitting there in the corner

0:09:02 > 0:09:04like the one that nobody wants to talk to.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07They all go over and have their own little individual meetings with him.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Well, shall we have a look at a meeting with Obama and Putin?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12There they are in the corner.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14And to really know what they were talking about,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16there is one fellow we could ask.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Did you see the chap listening to that conversation?- No.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Let's have a look.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23So here's a bigger picture and you can see there in the corner,

0:09:23 > 0:09:26you see Obama and Putin, and just watch this fellow just subtly

0:09:26 > 0:09:28coming in for a bit of a listen.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yes, this is the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43One man leading the hunt for the terrorists

0:09:43 > 0:09:46is Belgium's interior security minister...

0:09:47 > 0:09:51..showing defiance to Islamic State, even with his surname.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53APPLAUSE

0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Paul and Jacob, take a look at this.- OK.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yes, that's Parliament.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Now, what is this? It looks like parchment.- Act of Parliament...

0:10:02 > 0:10:04GOAT SCREAMS

0:10:07 > 0:10:08LAUGHTER

0:10:08 > 0:10:11I don't think that's from one of my speeches.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15The Acts of Parliament have been put on vellum forever

0:10:15 > 0:10:18and to save £80,000, the kid at the end of it,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21because I think vellum comes from kids, are going to be saved

0:10:21 > 0:10:23and there will be no more vellum

0:10:23 > 0:10:27and our laws will now be written on ordinary paper.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29So that was just relief from that kid?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Do you know, I don't actually talk to animals, so I don't know...

0:10:34 > 0:10:36LAUGHTER

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm not Dr Dolittle.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40APPLAUSE

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Vellum is very permanent and laws are very seriously important things

0:10:45 > 0:10:47and we ought to have respect for the law and, physically,

0:10:47 > 0:10:49it ought to be impressive

0:10:49 > 0:10:53and therefore to spend a little extra to reinforce that symbolism is,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I think, worth doing if we're to maintain respect for the law.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Is the law definitely more impressive

0:10:57 > 0:10:59if it's written on a goat?

0:11:02 > 0:11:03It physically lasts longer.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Which other money-making schemes were criticised this week?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09It was the tax credit cuts again.

0:11:09 > 0:11:14Conservative MP Stephen McPartland said, "A majority of Tory MPs

0:11:14 > 0:11:17"want George Osborne to drop his tax credit cuts."

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Are you among them, Jacob?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well, the Chancellor said he's going to come forward

0:11:20 > 0:11:24with plans at the Autumn Statement so I wait and see.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26I missed the answer.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:28 > 0:11:30I don't know...

0:11:32 > 0:11:36We're still running a huge budget deficit, cuts need to be made

0:11:36 > 0:11:38and major cuts into the billions of pounds...

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Is this part of the economic success you were talking about?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44The economic success...

0:11:44 > 0:11:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Absolutely.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51The job is not completed, there's still money that needs to be saved.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Yeah. You could raise tax, couldn't you?- We have.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Well, you could raise it a bit more.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Interestingly, probably not.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01The rate of tax, as a percentage of GDP that is raised currently,

0:12:01 > 0:12:04is within the bounds of the highest level we've ever raised.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Yeah, but Vodafone and Google, they could pay tax, couldn't they?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11APPLAUSE

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Absolutely and... - So you'll be going after those?

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- The Chancellor's done this, he's done exactly this.- Has he?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Do they know that? - He'll introduce plans to...

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- They'll find out. - They'll find out, will they?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- They'll be getting a letter through, will they?- Well, the Chancellor...

0:12:26 > 0:12:29"Dear Facebook, we've just noticed you've been taking the piss.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30"Here's the amount."

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Tax laws are being reformed to ensure that foreign companies

0:12:34 > 0:12:37make a bigger contribution, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41Who wrote to his local county council to complain about cuts?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- David Cameron! - It was David Cameron.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46He couldn't understand why these cuts were being made.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49The thing about not being connected with the real world -

0:12:49 > 0:12:52do you even understand what I'm talking about, Jacob?

0:12:54 > 0:12:55He did do that.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58David Cameron wrote to Oxfordshire County Council to say

0:12:58 > 0:13:00he was worried about...

0:13:08 > 0:13:10He's doing something perfectly reasonable, let me defend...

0:13:10 > 0:13:12LAUGHTER

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Let me defend the Prime Minister. - Good luck.- Yeah, perhaps.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17But what he was doing was saying to the council that they should

0:13:17 > 0:13:19make different choices.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22The idea that there isn't waste in local councils that can be

0:13:22 > 0:13:25reallocated to the really important services is one that I think

0:13:25 > 0:13:29is false and he was encouraging them to do that reallocation.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31They did send back quite a long letter

0:13:31 > 0:13:32saying why they couldn't do that

0:13:32 > 0:13:34saying no, we've cut everything else,

0:13:34 > 0:13:35now we've got to cut this.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38And the reason we've got to make these cuts is because

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Central Office has off-loaded most of the cuts onto local government.

0:13:41 > 0:13:42I'm just paraphrasing.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46I think it shows he's got a real division

0:13:46 > 0:13:48between his being-at-work and being-at-home

0:13:48 > 0:13:53cos isn't he writing in the capacity of being a resident of Oxfordshire?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, he's at home, he's walked through the door and he's no longer

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Prime Minister, he's now a normal citizen getting angry.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02He probably watches himself on telly going, "LIAR!"

0:14:02 > 0:14:04He could be the...

0:14:04 > 0:14:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:06 > 0:14:07You know, he's...

0:14:07 > 0:14:12I think it's nice, he becomes at-home David, doesn't he?

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Let's talk about the Lincoln MP Karl McCartney.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Karl McCartney, I never thought I'd hear that name again.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Five years ago in Cairo, me and him had this secret affair.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25We kissed each other on the balcony...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28But, no, I'd better not say any of this, I've no idea who he is.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32He may cost us £15,000. Do you know why?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Because I have just libelled him.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40I didn't kiss him on the balcony.

0:14:42 > 0:14:4615,000? That's not going to cover the lawyer reading the letter!

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I bow to your superior experience.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55No, it's to do with the way his name is written.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57He wants the parliamentary records changed

0:14:57 > 0:15:01because they print his name with a small C, like this, and he thinks

0:15:01 > 0:15:06it should be written with a sort of floaty C, like this.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08So far, it has cost several hundred pounds to change

0:15:08 > 0:15:11the parliamentary records but changing it

0:15:11 > 0:15:15on Hansard and the House of Commons website could cost £10,000-£15,000.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16That's because it's written on vellum

0:15:16 > 0:15:19and you can't easily rub it out.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21But that's absolutely ridiculous.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Not on his wanting his name spelt properly, most people do,

0:15:23 > 0:15:26but that it should cost that sort of money to make a tiny little

0:15:26 > 0:15:29change on a computer system where even I -

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I don't hold myself up as a great expert in this field -

0:15:32 > 0:15:36know that you can change fonts on machines quite easily.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Most of us want our names spelt correctly, don't we?

0:15:38 > 0:15:42- It's a reasonable ambition in life. - May I just say...

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Achievable for most of us.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47..I find you extremely attractive.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- My wife is in the audience. - Is your wife...? I'm so sorry.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Would you like the rest of us to discreetly make an exit?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I don't need anybody to do anything about it,

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I just thought I would mention it along the way.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Let's talk about Sir John Chilcot.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yeah, why not? That will kill the mood.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Are you going to tell me you find him very attractive?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18You like a man who takes his time.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Last week, Sir John was pictured enjoying himself at a bus stop.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Well, The Sun has been following him and taking photos.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34They found him at his country home in Devon at 4pm on a Friday.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39How long does it take to make the 200 mile trip from Westminster

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- to Devon?- Five hours.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Quite a long time because the roads aren't very good.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45He would have needed to leave at midday.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48And he could have spent all that time just writing out...

0:16:48 > 0:16:51"Blair is guilty."

0:16:57 > 0:17:00This is the news that Parliament is about to be dragged kicking

0:17:00 > 0:17:03and screaming into the 19th century by abandoning

0:17:03 > 0:17:06vellum in favour of this new stuff called paper.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Meanwhile, Tory MP Karl McCartney

0:17:08 > 0:17:10has asked for his name to be typed differently on

0:17:10 > 0:17:14parliamentary records in a move that could cost the taxpayer £15,000.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18He is said to be unhappy that his name is spelt with a lower-case C.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22Don't worry, Mr McCartney, I'm sure we will all use a big C from now on.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27And so to Round Two, The One Armed Bandit Of News.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Fingers on buzzers, teams, here's the first one.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37- BELL - Blimey.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Ian and Hal.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42I think this is a man who went on holiday and filmed his whole holiday

0:17:42 > 0:17:44with the camera round the wrong way, filming him.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49So that was his whole holiday, was just a picture of his face going,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51"Oh, that's good."

0:17:58 > 0:17:59That is absolutely right.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yes, he borrowed his son's mini video camera

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- to document the trip of a lifetime...- Oh, no...

0:18:05 > 0:18:06..to Las Vegas.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09He had the camera pointing the wrong way for the entire trip.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Shall we have a look at his highlights?- Yes.- Yes.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13Look at that.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19That's the view looking down, see?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Whoo!

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Where are we going for breakfast?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40He did, ironically, attempt to take a selfie on this trip.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Shall we have a look? That's his selfie.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Fingers on buzzers, teams. Here is the next one.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- BUZZER - Paul and Jacob.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, I think this is to do with athletics

0:19:02 > 0:19:03and that they are all taking drugs.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Not everybody is taking drugs. - Well, the English don't.- No.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08And nor do the...

0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Nor do the Scots, the Welsh or the Northern Irish.- That's right.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14But everyone else seems to.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18And there has been a great row about this.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- One country in particular. - Russia.- Yeah.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Russia has been suspended from competing

0:19:22 > 0:19:24in international athletics. Why?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Because they are all taking drugs and have done...

0:19:27 > 0:19:31And have done for years and they have fiddled the testing regime.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33The key with this one, I think, is that they have said that

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Russia was complicit in the doping of individual athletes.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Do you know what I like? It's the World Anti-Doping Agency, or Wada.

0:19:39 > 0:19:44It's just that image of the Russians going, "Oh, yeah, Wada, Wada, Wada."

0:19:44 > 0:19:47President of the International Association

0:19:47 > 0:19:49of Athletics Federations, Sebastian Coe,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52is he the right person to be leading the clean-up?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53A lot of people think not.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Some of his other interests have been called into question.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57What are they?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59He works for Nike.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Well, it's various things.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Sebastian Coe is the executive chairman of sports marketing firm

0:20:03 > 0:20:05CSM, which represents...

0:20:09 > 0:20:11He is also a special adviser at Nike.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13He has his own parking space there

0:20:13 > 0:20:17and he is paid £90,000 to advise the firm.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Coincidentally, Nike sponsors the Russian track and field athletes.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Oh, it's all quite compromising, isn't it?

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I just... It's a point of view. It's not a fact.- No.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32But the lawyers are there again, 15 grand...

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Lord Coe was also once chairman of Fifa's ethics committee.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Oh, well, there we are - I didn't know they had one!

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I do want to talk about a football match.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46How did one footballer protest at a linesman this week?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- It's an unusual method of protest. - Did he...?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52He was sent off and he went home to the linesman's house,

0:20:52 > 0:20:55disguised himself as the linesman's wife...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57had a very fruity Saturday night

0:20:57 > 0:21:01and then in the morning revealed who he was.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04You're not as far as you might think.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08This was a derby match between two Spanish lower league sides in which

0:21:08 > 0:21:11a disgruntled player was watching from the stands...

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Wow!

0:21:26 > 0:21:28- This is...- Is there no footage?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36This is the news from the world of athletics that Russia has been

0:21:36 > 0:21:39taking the piss and systematically destroying it.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46The Times listed all the finishers in the women's 1,500 metres

0:21:46 > 0:21:49final at the London Olympics, which featured four drug cheats,

0:21:49 > 0:21:52including Yekaterina Kostetskaya, who came ninth.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55The Russians have launched an urgent inquiry into how someone

0:21:55 > 0:21:57who took that many drugs could be that shit.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Time now for the Odd One Out Round. Just one between you this week.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Your four are...

0:22:03 > 0:22:06a Google car, the blink of an eye,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09a Japanese runner and Bertie the Tortoise.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10BUZZER

0:22:10 > 0:22:14It must be about speed, mustn't it? We have got a tortoise there.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16The Google car...

0:22:16 > 0:22:20- A car was stopped for going too slowly by California police.- OK.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24The Japanese runner, he seems to be quite an old looking man

0:22:24 > 0:22:27so I would imagine he doesn't move that quickly these days.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29He's probably a marathon runner,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31does it between February and October.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34The tortoise is the odd one out because that is the obvious

0:22:34 > 0:22:36one to go slowly so it must be the odd one out.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38The tortoise is the odd one out

0:22:38 > 0:22:41because they are all too slow, apart from the tortoise which

0:22:41 > 0:22:44recently broke the tortoise world speed record.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Was it falling off a mountain?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- We need to have a look at him. - Yes.- Yes, let's have a look at him.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53- He is on something.- Yes.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Looks like tarmac.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Thank God the tyres are there.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Yes, actually, he might hit them at high speed and burst into flames!

0:23:06 > 0:23:10Scientists have discovered that "a blink of an eye" is slower

0:23:10 > 0:23:14than "a drop of a hat". They have been studying speed cliches.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20Yes, they measured the drop of a hat at 5.7 metres per second and

0:23:20 > 0:23:25the blink of an eye was slower than that. 6.94 metres per second was...

0:23:29 > 0:23:30What about shit off a shovel?

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- What about the Japanese gentleman? - What about the Japanese gentleman?

0:23:40 > 0:23:44- He's 105.- Oh, I didn't realise. - 105-year-old Hidekichi Miyazaki

0:23:44 > 0:23:46became the world's oldest competitive sprinter

0:23:46 > 0:23:50when he completed the 100 metres in 42.22 seconds.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Shall we have a look at him in action?- He's doing well.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:24:02 > 0:24:04- I think he is doing very well.- Yeah.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07APPLAUSE

0:24:11 > 0:24:15He will be dating Jerry Hall in no time.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Why was Mr Miyazaki

0:24:17 > 0:24:21- disappointed after the race? - He failed to beat his own record.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Yes, he had hoped to go faster. He said...

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- What does he put his slow time down to?- The fact he is 105.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37He was the only non-Russian in the race.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Mr Miyazaki told reporters he...

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Yes, 105-year-old Hidekichi Miyazaki

0:24:49 > 0:24:53was disappointed with his 100 metres time of 42.22 seconds.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56At the end of the race, Mr Miyazaki gave a urine sample.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59No-one asked him to but it had been 42 seconds since his last one.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Time now for the Missing Words Round,

0:25:01 > 0:25:03which this week features as its guest publication

0:25:03 > 0:25:07Chess Moves, the newsletter of the English Chess Federation.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09The editor always keeps his door firmly shut

0:25:09 > 0:25:11because he hates draughts.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13AUDIENCE GROANS

0:25:13 > 0:25:14It could be true.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18And we start with...

0:25:20 > 0:25:21To run Fifa.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Snap election.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27AUDIENCE GROANS

0:25:27 > 0:25:29If you're going to start groaning, you need to come out

0:25:29 > 0:25:31and do your own jokes.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34APPLAUSE

0:25:34 > 0:25:36The answer is...

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Indonesia's anti-drugs agency is planning to build a

0:25:43 > 0:25:46prison on an island guarded by crocodiles to hold death row

0:25:46 > 0:25:49convicts because the animals cannot be bribed.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Some people are on death row due to false allegations,

0:25:51 > 0:25:54for which you have to blame the "alligator".

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Next...

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Drank a cocktail. Ruled India.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Reflected about the old times between the wars.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12"Myself and Bunty were on the beach.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15"Do you think the sea will ever change, darling?

0:26:15 > 0:26:16"Will it always be wave after wave?"

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Next...

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Is this accountant?

0:26:32 > 0:26:35- It is something festive. - Fatty Christmas boy.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44You're fatty Christmas boy. Jacob knows what it is.

0:26:44 > 0:26:45I think I know what it is.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I think it is for people to untangle the wires of your Christmas lights.

0:26:48 > 0:26:49- It is!- Why?

0:26:49 > 0:26:51What is a fatty Christmas boy?!

0:26:54 > 0:26:56You are right. It is for...

0:27:00 > 0:27:01And finally...

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Adam created clothes because he found nakedness embarrassing.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10- But that is not exactly a new story, is it?- No.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16It is more topical than that...

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Here he is.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31His other arm appears to be the same length.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33That is to stop him looking stupid.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38The good news is, he doesn't have to take selfies any more

0:27:38 > 0:27:40because he's now in a relationship...

0:27:40 > 0:27:41with Mr Tickle.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46So, the final scores are... Ian and Hal with four points,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Paul and Jacob with seven. - Outrageous.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51APPLAUSE

0:27:54 > 0:27:57And I leave you with news that after spending decades

0:27:57 > 0:27:59watching her husband fail to win promotion at work,

0:27:59 > 0:28:03one impatient wife decides to take matters into her own hands.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11At a meeting of European leaders,

0:28:11 > 0:28:15one delegate tries to raise morale by burping the alphabet.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21And in Harley Street, there are fears that things may not

0:28:21 > 0:28:25quite have gone to plan with Alan Yentob's cosmetic surgery.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Goodnight.
