0:01:31 > 0:01:35in a Sky 1 comedy about a dead-end non-league football team.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38It's tough, week after week, going out to a tiny crowd,

0:01:38 > 0:01:40but that's Sky 1 for you.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Please welcome Joe Wilkinson.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Please welcome Gyles Brandreth.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01APPLAUSE

0:02:04 > 0:02:07And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Paul and Gyles, take a look at this.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yes, the Beatles are getting back together.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13There's only two of them left, unfortunately.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- I don't know what that is. A U-turn? - No, it's going to be Boris.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Oh, yes, doing a try-out for Top Gear.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20It's gone very black and white.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23And that's the new Top Gear season starting off,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25they're test-driving the new Ford Shed.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's about the European Union referendum.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Nobody knows which way it is going to go

0:02:31 > 0:02:33and nobody knows quite which way it should go.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38All we do know is that it will mean the end of the world.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41We're inviting Armageddon, then?

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- If we vote exit, apparently, everything will collapse.- Yeah.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Already Barbara Windsor has committed suicide on EastEnders

0:02:49 > 0:02:52in anticipation of Brexit.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Our houses will be worthless, there will be a Third World War,

0:02:55 > 0:02:58it's going to be appalling, so totally appalling,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01but of course, if we say "in",

0:03:01 > 0:03:04we will then be overwhelmed by 200 million people a week...

0:03:06 > 0:03:08..arriving on our shores.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Most of them apparently from Turkey, but not delightful.- Yep.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm amazed you're not the spokesman for both sides.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I feel in a way that I am.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23I'm ready to be because the truth is, I know that we don't know

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- because I have been there before. - What, you've been a Tory MP?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Yes.- And you know they know nothing. - Can I say...?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:33 > 0:03:35The truth is...we don't know.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40But the truth is, nobody knows anything.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43And I do remember, 20 years ago, we went through all of this

0:03:43 > 0:03:46and I was actually in the Treasury on the day we came out of the ERM.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50Standing at the back of the crowd with the present Prime Minister,

0:03:50 > 0:03:51David Cameron, we were office juniors.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55And at the beginning of the day there was this thing called the exchange rate mechanism.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57It was all part of joining the single currency.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00We were all in favour of it, or we were against it.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's not The One Show, you can use some bigger words.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Don't interrupt Gyles whilst he's doing his one-man show.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I nearly missed it, I took a while to park my car. Off you go.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- The point of the story is this. - Yes.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19The exchange rate mechanism, we're in it, but do we want to be in it?

0:04:19 > 0:04:2120 years ago, we go into the office one day

0:04:21 > 0:04:24and the markets seem to think we don't want to be in it.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Well, as the day goes on, we find the markets are against us.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29We put up interest rates from 9 percent to 10 percent,

0:04:29 > 0:04:3211 percent to 12 percent, 13 percent up to 15. Nothing is happening.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33We're banging the top of the screen.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36The point is, at the beginning of the day, we didn't...

0:04:37 > 0:04:39I can't stand the tension!

0:04:41 > 0:04:44What happens? What happens at the end of the day, Gyles?

0:04:44 > 0:04:45The point is, at the beginning of the day,

0:04:45 > 0:04:47we didn't know what was going to happen.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- While it was happening, we didn't know what was happening.- No.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53And when it had happened, we didn't know what had happened.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54APPLAUSE

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01A bit of bad news. They've just had the referendum.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03How did it go? Who won?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yes, this is the disappointing news

0:05:07 > 0:05:10that according to both the Leave and Remain camps,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13if we vote against them in the EU referendum,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15the world will go to hell in a handcart.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Now, what were David Cameron and George Osborne doing at B&Q?

0:05:19 > 0:05:22This is something about DIY. People doing little jobs around the house

0:05:22 > 0:05:24and we'd not be able to do it if we leave Europe.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26All the hammers will have to be handed back.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30And the alphabet we have known for 1,000 years will lose the letters

0:05:30 > 0:05:33B and Q, this is the kind of effect that Brexit will have.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Everything is going up the spout.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36I can imagine the difficulty for them

0:05:36 > 0:05:39cos they can't sell barbecues any more.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think it's worse than that, it was a metaphor.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44- They said this is a DIY recession. - Oh, yes.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47We'll inflict it. So you do a picture with DIY.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50And everyone goes, "Oh, that's very annoying."

0:05:52 > 0:05:54But that's it. It's recession,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57it's 800,000 jobs going, your house will be worthless.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00The odd thing about that is, all around the country,

0:06:00 > 0:06:03young people are thinking, "Oh, good, a collapse in house prices.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05"Yes! We're going to vote Brexit!"

0:06:05 > 0:06:09It's the first time they've actually twigged where the young vote goes.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Cameron and Osborne drew a small crowd at B&Q,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13but for context, there were

0:06:13 > 0:06:16three times as many people in the next aisle staring at plaster board.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21What were David Cameron and George Osborne basing

0:06:21 > 0:06:23their warning of the recession on?

0:06:23 > 0:06:28It was an independent Treasury report commissioned by David Cameron

0:06:28 > 0:06:34and George Osborne, with the brief - scare the hell out of everybody.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36And it was a set of figures they put together

0:06:36 > 0:06:39which nearly everyone has said, "Oh, probably not true."

0:06:39 > 0:06:42The statistics from the Institute of Fiscal Studies,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44or whatever it was that came out this week,

0:06:44 > 0:06:46it then turned out that this same institute was receiving

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- several million a year from the European Union.- Yes.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52So the trouble is, we can't really trust anybody

0:06:52 > 0:06:55because the hyperbole has become hysterical.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58And they all quote, they say, "Well, there's the IMF

0:06:58 > 0:07:00"and then there's the World Bank and there's the EU,

0:07:00 > 0:07:04"all these people have said stay in," but all those people said,

0:07:04 > 0:07:08"Um, there is no trouble with the financial system, it's fine."

0:07:08 > 0:07:11How is Britain Stronger In Europe campaign

0:07:11 > 0:07:12hoping to appeal to young people?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Robotics.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19They've got a poster. I saw it and thought it was brilliant.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23It says, "Tourin', hangin', chillin', votin'."

0:07:23 > 0:07:24LAUGHTER

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I hope that laughter's at the poster.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I think you're appealing to young people right now.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's not just a poster,

0:07:36 > 0:07:38they've produced a video using language

0:07:38 > 0:07:40they believe young people will understand,

0:07:40 > 0:07:43specifically they've removed the G from a few words.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Let's see it.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50LAUGHTER

0:08:03 > 0:08:07- "Spellin'" should have been one of the words that came up.- Yeah.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Spellin'!- We don't just lose B&Q, we lose G as well.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12The whole thing is a nightmare.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Ian, the question I'm most interested in -

0:08:15 > 0:08:18"chillin', roamin', ravin', movin'" -

0:08:18 > 0:08:22present participle or gerund?

0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Gerund? Interesting - depends how you use it, I think.- So what...?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Just on its own.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31A gerund is a three-wheeled vehicle that was very popular

0:08:31 > 0:08:33before the invention of horses.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36What's happening?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Why are we talking in a different language?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46We're linking grammar terms, we're parsin'.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49What's happening, seriously?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Meanwhile, over in the Brexit camp,

0:08:51 > 0:08:54how are their efforts to woo young voters going?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's with a pop concert, isn't it?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58They tried to start a pop concert

0:08:58 > 0:09:02but even the 52-year-old boy band 5ive...

0:09:03 > 0:09:04..didn't want to do it

0:09:04 > 0:09:07and if they're not doing it, something's going wrong.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09They mainly do village fetes.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm glad boy bands are pulling out.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13One Direction could learn a lot from that.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19So have they got no young people to play?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, they've got Nigel Farage who does a sideline as a techno DJ.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Under what name? - It's called "Farage music".- Farage!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30APPLAUSE

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Oh, great.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37A pro-Brexit concert has been organised at which

0:09:37 > 0:09:39East 17 were due to perform.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41There's only one thing you need to know about East 17

0:09:41 > 0:09:45and that's the singer Brian Harvey once managed

0:09:45 > 0:09:47to fall out of his own car and run himself over.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Not even the EU have got a rule to stop you doing that.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Given that people have known this campaign was coming for years,

0:09:56 > 0:09:59you would have thought that both sides would have got

0:09:59 > 0:10:01their arguments better lined up

0:10:01 > 0:10:04and would have more effective advertising than they have.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06I don't feel like I have seen a coherent argument from anyone.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- You haven't.- I'm really confused.- You should be.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10What should I do, Gyles?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Go back to Canada and...

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

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Because we will all be joining you,

0:10:19 > 0:10:23because we will be forced out of our country by the tens of millions,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26the hundreds of millions who are going to arrive here any minute,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28the moment the borders come down.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31We'll be travellin', escapin', rollin'.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Please don't come to Canada. With Trump, we already have

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Americans threatening to come in and we've got to now build a wall.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Americans are not as physically fit as Mexicans,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43it won't have to be a high wall, just a little...

0:10:43 > 0:10:44LAUGHTER

0:10:48 > 0:10:50A speed bump should do it.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Ian and Joe, take a look at this.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Um, that's, er, that's a woman.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I think that's the same woman, yeah. That's her again.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- But different hair, though. - Different hair, yeah.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Quite a big - can I say that? - a big bum.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12There's her fella she's with. Nice fella.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Did I get it right?

0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Was this one of the bigger stories of the week?- What is the story?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- JOE:- Kimberly Kardashian. - GYLES:- That's it.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26She's in London, and I know this

0:11:26 > 0:11:28cos my missus was telling me about it

0:11:28 > 0:11:32and I feel bad for the girl, cos I shouldn't really be making fun

0:11:32 > 0:11:34of her, cos I just found out she hasn't got a job...

0:11:36 > 0:11:39And you know how hard is when you're unemployed, um,

0:11:39 > 0:11:41and if she's watching,

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I've got a mate who works in a Bovril factory

0:11:43 > 0:11:46and he says there's work going, so just give us a bell,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48might be able to sort something out."

0:11:50 > 0:11:52And it's cash in hand, so you can still sign on.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57So what is the story about these people?

0:11:57 > 0:12:01The rumour is that she is going to be Donald Trump's running mate.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Whoo!- It's hot. It's a hot story...

0:12:05 > 0:12:08So it's hot cos you just made it up.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- It's fresh.- It's fresh...

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- You're right, it's that hot. It is that hot.- It's very hot.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15It did just come to me that...

0:12:15 > 0:12:18But don't you think it's marvellous casting?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20So if her and Donald Trump were together and somebody says,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23"What an arse!" we don't know which one they're talking about.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32"Trump and the rump!" - you can see the posters.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33You can see the posters, you can.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36This is a massive mainstream news that Kim Kardashian

0:12:36 > 0:12:40actually came to London this week. Why was she here?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Is that difficult, coming to London?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45They've got a lot of wide-bodied jets these days.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47There's no problem getting across the Atlantic on a plane.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51It's a fascinating family, I find the whole thing completely gripping.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Why is it so exciting?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Cos we have nothing like it in our society.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56The nearest we get to the Kardashians

0:12:56 > 0:12:58is the Krankies, a Scottish...

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- You won't know them. It's a Scottish family...- I know the Krankies!

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- You know the Krankies?- Why do you talk to me like I was just born?

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I've lived here for ten years.- Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realise that.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- It's all right. I like it, kind of.- Good, well, we love...

0:13:13 > 0:13:16We're very, very happy to have you and I'm sure the Brexiteers

0:13:16 > 0:13:18and the Remain people will make exceptions in your case.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yes.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- As I'm an Irish citizen. Go on. - You're an Irish citizen?- I am.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26But this is for another day, Gyles. We'll have lunch.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Now I've heard that...

0:13:29 > 0:13:32You don't know what you're saying, you've no idea.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35The trap opens up and the poor innocent walks in.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I promise this has a political angle.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42How did Labour's Harriet Harman get behind Kim Kardashian?

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Which is an excellent hiding place, by the way.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50She, um, presumably said that Kim Kardashian was a role model

0:13:50 > 0:13:54and a marvellous figure and we should learn a great deal from her.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56That's usually what politicians say

0:13:56 > 0:13:58when they're asked about someone they've never heard of.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yes, Harriet Harman called Kim Kardashian...

0:14:02 > 0:14:04..like Malala, but with a sex tape.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07LAUGHTER AND GASPS

0:14:08 > 0:14:13And she didn't object to Kim putting out into the ether

0:14:13 > 0:14:17selfies of herself slightly scantily-clad, even though

0:14:17 > 0:14:22Harriet in her time has not liked pictures that objectify women.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34To which a viewer called Sarika responded...

0:14:44 > 0:14:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Ian, I feel like I haven't given you enough opportunity

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- to show your knowledge on the Kardashian family.- No.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00So I will give you a point for every Kardashian sister you can name.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Let's just move on.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I didn't actually know she had sisters.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13I'm just getting over the fact that Kanye West isn't a constituency.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16APPLAUSE

0:15:21 > 0:15:23You could have had...

0:15:24 > 0:15:27All spelt with a K, yes. It's exciting.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- And do they have children that start with a K?- No! Kourtney...

0:15:33 > 0:15:35All right. Kourtney...

0:15:35 > 0:15:37LAUGHTER

0:15:37 > 0:15:40There's a child they're all very fond of who they call Special K...

0:15:42 > 0:15:44..comes through. "How are you?"

0:15:46 > 0:15:49You know what, it's a dynasty and it's kind of worth

0:15:49 > 0:15:52learning about, I think they've earned their place at this point.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55No, what the fuck do they do?!

0:15:55 > 0:15:57How have they earnt their place?!

0:15:57 > 0:15:59What do they do?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01APPLAUSE

0:16:01 > 0:16:04In other femi-news, where did women narrowly fail

0:16:04 > 0:16:06to break down a sexist barrier?

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Oh, golf.- Yes.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Well done.- Oh, thank you, Gyles.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14This was Muirfield Golf Club,

0:16:14 > 0:16:16they've refused to have women playing golf.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17That's it.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21And therefore they can't have the Open Golf Championship there.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23And there was some famous golf commentator who said,

0:16:23 > 0:16:27"If women want to come to the club, they should marry a member."

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- JOE:- Peter Alliss, wasn't it? - GYLES:- Yeah.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Yes, top BBC golfing commentator Peter Alliss told the Telegraph...

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Does he even know how competitive

0:16:46 > 0:16:48the "marry a rich old white guy" market is?

0:16:50 > 0:16:53How many Jerry Halls do I have to punch in the tit

0:16:53 > 0:16:55just to get a free gin and tonic?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Do women actually want to join this club? They sound ghastly!

0:17:05 > 0:17:06It does sound awful.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09- POSH ACCENT:- Not a member of a club yourself, old boy?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Erm, I'm a member of a couple of clubs...- Ooh, ah.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Erm...- Yeah, tell us.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Oh, yeah? Come on.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19LAUGHTER

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Is it the Alzheimer's League?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Would you like to see an example of the great male dignity

0:17:27 > 0:17:29that needs to be preserved?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Mm.- Yeah, please.- Look at this.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34'I've drank a lot of water, I really have to go.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37'People are waiting to tee off and there's no rest room out here.'

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Guys, how many times has this happened to you?

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Come on, you know you can't hold it in that long!

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Don't worry, I've got the perfect gift for you.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Introducing the UroClub,

0:17:48 > 0:17:50the discreet sanitary solution

0:17:50 > 0:17:51for your urgent relief.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Created by a board-certified urologist, it looks like

0:17:54 > 0:17:56an ordinary golf club,

0:17:56 > 0:17:57but it contains a special reservoir

0:17:57 > 0:17:59built into the grip to relieve yourself.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02The UroClub comes with a special towel to keep your privacy...

0:18:02 > 0:18:03LAUGHTER

0:18:03 > 0:18:06..and it appears to everyone that you're just checking out your club!

0:18:06 > 0:18:09At first it seems comical, but believe me,

0:18:09 > 0:18:12when you really have to go, it's a life-saver.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15But the clubhouse is only about 100 yards away.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It's going to be too far for him. - And he's got a club car!

0:18:17 > 0:18:21"What's your handicap?" "I keep pissing into me golf club."

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Would you use a UroClub, Gyles?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28I wouldn't, but I'm rather alarmed that the only time

0:18:28 > 0:18:32I went to a golf club in Scotland, after we'd been a round,

0:18:32 > 0:18:36the man I was playing with opened up his club to offer me

0:18:36 > 0:18:38a little celebratory snifter...

0:18:40 > 0:18:41Oh, dear.

0:18:41 > 0:18:46Well, there we are, I just thought it was a whisky that had gone off.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51And so, to Round Two, The One-Armed Bandit of News.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Fingers on buzzers, teams, here's the first one.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00BUZZER

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Is this Kim Kardashian? - LAUGHTER

0:19:03 > 0:19:04- Looks like her, it's not her. - Not quite.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Is that one of the sisters called Kushion?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11BUZZER

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Joe, do you know?

0:19:12 > 0:19:15I think she bought a cushion on eBay

0:19:15 > 0:19:17and it turned out to be one for a doll's house.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20It wasn't eBay, it was Wish.com -

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yazmin Zurtti was disappointed with some pillows she purchased online.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Here's what she ordered on the website, for what she thought

0:19:26 > 0:19:30was a bargain £10, to finish off her new bedroom perfectly.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32And here's what was delivered.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41What invention was in the news this week that might have stopped

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yazmin making a rash purchase?

0:19:43 > 0:19:46A shop where you go in and see what you're going to buy?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50And then a person approaches you in a uniform and asks

0:19:50 > 0:19:52if they can assist you?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54No, and then tells you what the price is?

0:19:54 > 0:19:58And then wraps it up for you and helps you take it home?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Only in the world of Tolkien could such a thing happen.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04No, she might have used one of these, a new wristband that

0:20:04 > 0:20:07gives bank customers an electric shock when they overspend.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09The zap from the wristband can range from...

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Would you find that useful, Joe?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16No, not when I've had a drink.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18It'd have to taser me.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23How much is it to buy?

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Well, it's £130...

0:20:24 > 0:20:26LAUGHTER

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Hilarious. Well, there's your first problem,

0:20:28 > 0:20:31it'd start going off as you're buying it.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Time now for the Odd One Out round. Your four are...

0:20:35 > 0:20:36a Rubik's cube.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Thomas a Becket's elbow,

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Mark Zuckerberg's dog Beast

0:20:39 > 0:20:41and Harry Houdini.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43BUZZER

0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Well, I know Thomas a Becket's elbow...- Mmm.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46..has turned up again in London.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50I think the experts are a bit divided, some say it's his arse.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- It's a bit of him.- Yeah.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's a famous relic of Saint Thomas a Becket,

0:20:55 > 0:21:00and it was taken from his original internment and taken to Hungary.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03And I think that might be the link,

0:21:03 > 0:21:05cos Rubik was Hungarian,

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- I'm guessing that Harry Houdini wasn't called that originally.- No.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- He's Hungarian.- And that dog... Do you know anything about the dog?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16The dog is a different nationality. Three of them are Hungarian,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- and the dog is Pomeranian.- Is that a Pomeranian?- I think so.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Heavily disguised as something else but it is, underneath,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- a Pomeranian!- Thomas a Becket's elbow can't be Hungarian, can it?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27- No, but it was in Hungary.- Right.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Things that have travelled from Hungary.- Ah, yes.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Yes. They all come from Hungary, apart from Thomas a Becket's elbow,

0:21:34 > 0:21:36which, as you said, Ian, was taken to Hungary

0:21:36 > 0:21:40following his murder in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170,

0:21:40 > 0:21:42and is now being returned, though only for a week.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45The Rubik's Cube was invented by a Hungarian

0:21:45 > 0:21:48and is possibly the only thing to entertain children in the '70s

0:21:48 > 0:21:50that hasn't since been locked up.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55How did one Chinese Rubik's Cube fanatic

0:21:55 > 0:21:57try to impress a girl recently?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Speaking to her?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06He made a picture...

0:22:06 > 0:22:09a portrait of her. She's got a very square head,

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- and he made a portrait of her. "That's for you."- Yes, Paul.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Yes?- Yes. A 27-year-old, Tong Aonan, spent 72 hours

0:22:15 > 0:22:19making a portrait of a girl he fancied out of Rubik's Cubes.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Here it is.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22GYLES GASPS

0:22:22 > 0:22:24- It's good.- Yeah. GYLES:- Well done.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27I do stuff like that. It never works.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Well, you're right. His efforts were not successful.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32Aw...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- GYLES:- Oh, dear.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Poor Tong!

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Don't worry. That strong wrist of yours won't go to waste.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Mark Zuckerberg's dog, Beast, is a puli,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47a breed originating from Hungary.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Here he is being exploited on Instagram.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53GYLES CHUCKLES

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- GYLES:- Is it really a dog?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- JOE:- Sure the end of the mop just hasn't come off?

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Sticking with the Zuckerberg family,

0:23:01 > 0:23:04what reason does Facebook founder Mark give for always wearing

0:23:04 > 0:23:06the same outfit?

0:23:06 > 0:23:07He's boring.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10He doesn't make any decisions every morning,

0:23:10 > 0:23:12just put on the same thing. Something dark

0:23:12 > 0:23:15so it doesn't need washing that often. Don't need to think about it.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Just wear the same stuff. - Mark Zuckerberg said...

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Like this man...

0:23:27 > 0:23:32- I read this story.- It's Gyles. He's given away all his bears.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Have you?- I've given away all my teddy bears.- How many did you have?

0:23:35 > 0:23:39More than a thousand. I've collected teddy bears all my life.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41And I began with one teddy bear

0:23:41 > 0:23:44and then I acquired a few more and then I acquired a wife...

0:23:44 > 0:23:46This could be long, this bit.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49So why are you getting rid of the bears?

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Because my children, frankly, are not interested.- Hmm.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm only here tonight earning money because of my children.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Yeah.- It's the one thing that's keeping me in touch with them.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00And now...

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Do you have actual children

0:24:02 > 0:24:04or are you referring to the bears?

0:24:04 > 0:24:05No, no.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09One of the bears in the Brandreth collection is the original

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Fozzie Bear from The Muppet Show.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Known for his terrible jokes and fondness for bowties,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Gyles Brandreth is 68 years old.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Time now for the Missing Words Round,

0:24:21 > 0:24:23which this week features, as its guest publication,

0:24:23 > 0:24:27the Journal of the Writing Equipment Society. We start with...

0:24:31 > 0:24:35After taking Viagra, Barack Obama could be a handful on holiday.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43This is a story that President Obama

0:24:43 > 0:24:46has an autopen stylus, a pen which enables the user

0:24:46 > 0:24:49to sign documents even when they're not really there,

0:24:49 > 0:24:51and when it's President Trump,

0:24:51 > 0:24:55he'll be able to sign documents even though he's not all there.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Next.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01- JOE:- Oh, hairy back?

0:25:05 > 0:25:08David Attenborough padding about.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Is it bamboo?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yes, Ian.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- I knew it.- GYLES:- Oh!

0:25:16 > 0:25:19According to a recent study, the bamboo causes digestive problems

0:25:19 > 0:25:22which can ruin the mood. Other things that put pandas off sex

0:25:22 > 0:25:25include almost anything on Earth. Next.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31- JOE:- You can smell like a sandwich.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42On the downside, men with sensitive skin have reported coming out

0:25:42 > 0:25:43in RASHERS.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46GROANING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Next.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55If you support Leicester City.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57SHE LAUGHS

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Is it, if you are alive?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Aw, Ian!

0:26:13 > 0:26:14Next.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Thank goodness you didn't light a fire!

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- JOE:- Hello, I'm Santa.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33This is an American man who had to be freed from a chimney

0:26:33 > 0:26:35after getting stuck in there with no clothes on.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38After police grabbed him, they asked the man if he wished to

0:26:38 > 0:26:41say anything, to which he replied, "You're it!"

0:26:41 > 0:26:43And finally...

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- GYLES:- One of the Kardashians.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50Popular.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54- JOE:- 80% gravy.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think that's right.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02It is THE Gordon Brown who was...

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Gordon Brown took a DNA test to explore his ancestry.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09For the DNA test, Gordon Brown was asked for a sample of his saliva,

0:27:09 > 0:27:14which he produced as soon as he was shown a photo of Tony Blair.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18In a similar DNA test, Tony Blair discovered he was a son of a bitch.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Aw...

0:27:20 > 0:27:23APPLAUSE

0:27:23 > 0:27:27So the final scores are Paul and Gyles have 4 points,

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Ian and Joe have 7 points.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:27:33 > 0:27:35But before we go,

0:27:35 > 0:27:38there's just time for the caption competition.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41You didn't look like that on Grindr!

0:27:45 > 0:27:48On which note, we say thank you to our panellists,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Ian Hislop and Joe Wilkinson, Paul Merton and Gyles Brandreth,

0:27:51 > 0:27:55and I leave you with news that it's sad times for one commuter

0:27:55 > 0:27:57as the Royal Train speeds past the platform

0:27:57 > 0:28:00while Kate is changing Charlotte's nappy...

0:28:00 > 0:28:02GROANS

0:28:02 > 0:28:05In a World Cup qualifier against the Philippines,

0:28:05 > 0:28:09North Korea deny they've made any attempt to influence the result.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16And as the referendum campaign gets dirty,

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Boris Johnson reveals a photo

0:28:18 > 0:28:21of what he claims is David Cameron's screensaver.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Good night!

0:28:26 > 0:28:28APPLAUSE
