0:00:37 > 0:00:40Good evening. Welcome to Have I Got News For You,

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm David Mitchell. In the news this week -

0:00:43 > 0:00:47in the middle storm over Calais, BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty

0:00:47 > 0:00:50shows her support for Gary Lineker.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58After a crate of Prozac washes up on a beach, conservationists

0:00:58 > 0:01:01are concerned over its possible affect on local wildlife.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08And in Moscow,

0:01:08 > 0:01:13a KGB target survives an unusually subtle assassination attempt.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23On Ian's team tonight is a TV presenter and stand-up

0:01:23 > 0:01:27from New Zealand who described the audience of her first-ever Edinburgh

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Festival show as "full of drunk, angry Scottish men".

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, if you insist on doing a morning show...

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Please welcome Rose Matafeo.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40APPLAUSE

0:01:42 > 0:01:46And with Paul tonight is a Labour MP who recently resigned

0:01:46 > 0:01:48from the Shadow Cabinet and says that

0:01:48 > 0:01:51"In election terms, Labour is not match-ready."

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Unlike the bonfire in his garden

0:01:53 > 0:01:56with an effigy of Jeremy Corbyn on top.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Please welcome Chris Bryant MP.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE

0:02:04 > 0:02:06And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Paul and Chris, take a look at this.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Well, that looks like Heathrow.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13This is a bulldozer that Boris Johnson is obviously going to

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- lie in front of, as he promised. - Oh, no, he's driving it.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19He's looking for Michael Gove now, I think.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22That is Zac Goldsmith with a crab.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27And...those are some weird people outside the Palace of Varieties.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- So, yes...- Good news. Good news for people who live near Gatwick.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35I looked at all the arguments and they are quite complex for

0:02:35 > 0:02:38should it be Heathrow or somewhere else? And Boris has promised

0:02:38 > 0:02:40to lie in front of a bulldozer if it's Heathrow.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43So it's gotta be Heathrow, really.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:02:48 > 0:02:51So this is the final, final decision, is it?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53There's going to be legal objections, though.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54People are going to fight this.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's not a forgone conclusion at the moment.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yes, there's going to be legal objections and also,

0:02:59 > 0:03:01MPs get to vote on it next year.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, really, we get to vote on something(?)

0:03:04 > 0:03:07It'll probably just be, MPs get to chat about it,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10like Philip Green's knighthood.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Are you trying to suggest that politicians have no real value

0:03:14 > 0:03:15in society?

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Bit early for that. We'll do that later.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22There are other objections - environmental objections,

0:03:22 > 0:03:24and it might not happen.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25It's got to meet all these requirements.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28But aren't they European requirements?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- So that's not really going to be... - No, that's not a problem.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34The aeroplanes have to go from here to somewhere.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- So it might still be a European thing.- Oh, yes, absolutely.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42It might just be internal flights after Brexit. I don't think anyone's

0:03:42 > 0:03:45going anywhere and they're certainly not coming here!

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Depends how big it is.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Maybe you get a flight from Terminal 6 to Terminal 1.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54If the runway's long enough, they don't even have to take off.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Well, it's going to be a ramp, isn't it?- A ramp?!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's an amazing design, isn't it?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00The idea we're going to have a runway and suddenly it's announced

0:04:00 > 0:04:03they're not going to put the M25 in a tunnel,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- they're going to put the runway on a bridge over the M25.- Yeah.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12Why wasn't it more part of the discussion that there wasn't room

0:04:12 > 0:04:15for the runway inside the M25?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17You'd think that would be a real clincher for Gatwick.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Can I be narrowly parochial for a moment?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Oh, God, is this the Rhondda? - Yes, it is.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm sorry! Just for the rest of the country,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I think you'll find that Gatwick's really on the wrong side of London.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31It's the right side of London for most of the rest of the world.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:38 > 0:04:41How much do you think we'll make from it, financially?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Bazillions.- Sorry, how many? - Bazillions.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I thought you said Brazilians!

0:04:46 > 0:04:50It was just a random thought, you were sitting there...

0:04:50 > 0:04:53We'll be rich enough for every citizen to get a free waxing.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Whether they want it or not.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's the future for our economy.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01We'll be the waxing hub of the world.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04We could become the rip-off merchants of the world.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06LAUGHTER AND GROANING

0:05:06 > 0:05:08You'll all be using it tomorrow.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10You're getting it now.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Some of you saw it on Teletext at the bottom, didn't you?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Who's the guy with the crab?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Zac Goldsmith. - I don't know why I did that.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Zac Goldsmith?- Yeah.- OK. And he has...resigned? No? Yeah?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22He has resigned.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Cos his constituency elected him on the grounds there wouldn't be

0:05:25 > 0:05:27a third runway at Heathrow.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Right.- So he's resigned.- OK.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- He tried to be Mayor of London. - Yes, OK.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33So now he has a lot more time to catch up on all

0:05:33 > 0:05:36the Bollywood films he hasn't seen, right?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Ah, you got that? - I did get that, that is the worst.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44I've seen 100% more Bollywood films than him. Which is one.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46He's running as an independent, right?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49But because politics in this country are so mad,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51the Conservative Party's not going to stand against him.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54The slightly weird thing is that Ukip aren't standing against him

0:05:54 > 0:05:56either, because Nigel Farage is now backing him.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59I don't know how Nigel Farage has got time out from supporting

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Donald Trump in the United States of America...

0:06:02 > 0:06:05He can really pick 'em, can't he? Trump. Zac. God!

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Do you reckon Zac's just like, "Nige, no!"

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Yes, Boris has been vocal against it. Has he resigned, too?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15No.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Has he not?!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19He's written a couple of pieces, one pro...

0:06:19 > 0:06:20LAUGHTER

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Didn't David Cameron say that it was in their manifesto?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26It was kind of, "No ifs, no buts, there will not be a third runway,"

0:06:26 > 0:06:27- as well?- Yes, he did, yeah.- Yeah.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Unfortunately, the time for blaming him for everything

0:06:30 > 0:06:32has come to an end.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Not really. - I think we should extend it.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Listen, I'm still blaming Mrs Thatcher for an awful lot.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42If you're just kind of quicker, you just get right in there.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45People can agree on blaming someone who's no longer at all relevant.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Or alive.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Has David Cameron died?!

0:06:51 > 0:06:54No, I didn't hear the good news!

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Oh.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59No, I don't hope David Cameron's dead.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I just wouldn't mind if he did.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05"We interrupt this programme..."

0:07:05 > 0:07:10"There's been a chillaxing accident in Cornwall."

0:07:10 > 0:07:14He relaxed so much his whole bowel fell out.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19This is the news that the Government has given the go-ahead

0:07:19 > 0:07:23for a third runway at Heathrow, ending half a century of delay.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26The row over Heathrow may yet prove to be the Government's undoing.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29So it's come to this - a two-mile strip of concrete

0:07:29 > 0:07:33is now providing more opposition than Jeremy Corbyn.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35According to the Mail,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38one consequence of the third runway at Heathrow is that...

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I don't mean to be overly pessimistic,

0:07:45 > 0:07:47but if it's not opening till 2025,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49it may not be her problem.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54That's an appallingly unpatriotic thought.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't think the day would come when someone on the BBC

0:07:57 > 0:08:00would assert that the Queen is not immortal.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Ian and Rose, take a look at this.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05It's our Prime Minister.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's the French for "get lost"!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Trying to do a dad joke in Parliament, there we go. No.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12That's Juncker. Oh, in, out.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Oh. Pick-up artist, there we go.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Nicola does not understand roulette.

0:08:16 > 0:08:22This is about our attempts to forge a new deal in the bright dawn.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was slightly sad that our Prime Minister

0:08:24 > 0:08:27went over to the EU meeting and was only allowed in

0:08:27 > 0:08:31at one o'clock in the morning to make a five-minute speech at dinner.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34And apparently she was met in dead silence,

0:08:34 > 0:08:35and then she left again.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Do you know what Jean-Claude Juncker had to say after that?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Someone from the BBC said, you know,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41"What do you think about Theresa May?"

0:08:41 > 0:08:43And he went, "Pfff."

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- We have that clip...- Oh, good. - ..in fact, it's worth seeing.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Mr Juncker, Ros Atkins, BBC News. Good to see you again.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- How did the evening go with Theresa May?- Pfff.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57It's quite a catchphrase, actually.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58You nailed that, as well!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Yeah, no, I've been watching him for years. "Pfff!"

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Do you think he thinks he's got one of those, you know,

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Christmassy things that you blow and go, "Parp!"

0:09:06 > 0:09:09in his mouth, and just forgot to put it in?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12He's been trying to come out all jolly, "Parp!"

0:09:12 > 0:09:14and went, "Pff!"

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh, forgot again!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19But I'm amazed she managed to fill the five minutes.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Because she says she doesn't want to keep up a running commentary

0:09:22 > 0:09:24on what the policy is, or plan, or strategy...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26There could be a reason for that.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Cos there ain't one. - ROSE:- Yeah.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29She keeps on saying she doesn't want to show her hand.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31But, like, in poker, you can't, like,

0:09:31 > 0:09:34just pretend there are cards in your hand.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I mean, you can't just be like,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39"I've got a good one here. Watch out!"

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- CHRIS:- And she keeps on saying,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43"We're going for the best possible deal."

0:09:43 > 0:09:46And basically, she's not going to say what she wants because she knows

0:09:46 > 0:09:48that whatever deal she's got at the end will have been

0:09:48 > 0:09:50the best possible deal that she could have possibly got.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- So she's saying, "Just see what happens..."- Yeah.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56"..because that's what I'm going to do."

0:09:56 > 0:09:57LAUGHTER

0:09:57 > 0:09:59"By the way, if you're a room full of bankers,

0:09:59 > 0:10:02"I'm quite happy to come along and tell you exactly what I'm about."

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Well, yes. This week, she suffered an embarrassing bit of leakage,

0:10:06 > 0:10:07didn't she?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11A recording of a secret speech that Theresa gave

0:10:11 > 0:10:14to Goldman Sachs bankers a month before the referendum

0:10:14 > 0:10:16was leaked to the Guardian.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18In it, she warned that companies would leave the UK if the

0:10:18 > 0:10:20country voted for Brexit,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22and that the country would be less safe outside the EU.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25But why is it... She was against Brexit,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28so why is it a big deal that it turns out she meant that?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Cos she was a bit half-hearted,

0:10:30 > 0:10:32and there were other people in other parties,

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- weren't there, Chris, who were... - A BIT half-hearted?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- She wasn't a BIT half-hearted, she...- No, I was thinking of Jeremy.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I'm still talking about Theresa May, I think you'll find.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Let's stick with Theresa May.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Was she more or less half-hearted than Jeremy Corbyn?- Yes.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49These politicians!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51- OK. Was...- I gave you a direct answer!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53It was a yes-no question, I gave a...

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Yeah. OK. I'm wise to this. - All right.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Was she more half-hearted than Jeremy Corbyn?- Yes.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, so you like Jeremy Corbyn?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05He's leading Labour into the wilderness, you fool!

0:11:07 > 0:11:09He came up with a joke, though, at Question Time.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, yeah. It was kind of awkward, though, that joke, wasn't it?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Was very, just, like, dad joke-y.,

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- What was it? - He said that, like Baldrick,

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Mrs May has got a cunning plan but it isn't a plan.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- ROSE:- And then she came back to him and was like,

0:11:22 > 0:11:24"Well, the guy who played him was Labour!"

0:11:24 > 0:11:26That's exactly what she said, right?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27The thing about her is, she's very...

0:11:27 > 0:11:29She doesn't believe in Brexit.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32People thought maybe secretly she believed in Brexit,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34and so it's OK for her to lead a government that's doing Brexit.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Maybe she's changed her mind.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Or maybe she doesn't care what the Government does.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40She just wants to be Prime Minister of it.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Ah.- So she'll do, you know...

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well, at least she's not like Jeremy in that sense,

0:11:44 > 0:11:47cos he certainly doesn't want to be Prime Minister.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Or maybe not.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51You know, they're the perfect opponents, aren't they?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53The person that will be Prime Minister of ANY government...

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- And the one who'll be Prime Minister of none.- Yeah!

0:11:55 > 0:11:57If Labour wins, she could say,

0:11:57 > 0:11:58"Jeremy, don't worry, I'll be Prime...

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- "I'll just do the Labour stuff!" - Yeah!

0:12:01 > 0:12:04"I didn't believe in Brexit, I did the Brexit stuff. I can do it all.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07"I'm a session musician politician."

0:12:08 > 0:12:11This is the news that Brexit will make us less attractive

0:12:11 > 0:12:14to foreign investors, less wealthy and less safe.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18That's according to Theresa May, five months ago,

0:12:18 > 0:12:19speaking at Goldman Sachs.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22According to a poll quote in the Sun,

0:12:22 > 0:12:2547% would still back Leave in another referendum...

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Ah, yes, fluctuations.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32One day it's down, the next day it plummets,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34the next day it's merely down again!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37According to the Daily Telegraph,

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Microsoft is set to increase its prices by 22%...

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Makes a nice change for Microsoft to look at something and say,

0:12:46 > 0:12:48"Oh, no, it's crashed!"

0:12:50 > 0:12:51And so on to Round Two.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54And as Halloween season enters its fourth week

0:12:54 > 0:12:57and we cover ourselves in spray-on cobwebs

0:12:57 > 0:13:00out of respect for our American trading partners,

0:13:00 > 0:13:04let's enter into the spirit of it with the Haunted House of News.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Fingers on buzzers.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08See if you can guess what's scaring you.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10EERIE MUSIC PLAYS

0:13:10 > 0:13:12MAN SCREAMS

0:13:13 > 0:13:14BUZZER

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Oh, no, don't buzz, it means we'll have to talk about it.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35is that what we're seeing here?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Oh, is it Essex women? - That's it, yes.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41The term "Essex girl" is in the dictionary.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44And this is the news that two girls from Essex

0:13:44 > 0:13:46are trying to get that term removed.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47Collins defines it as...

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Doesn't seem too bad. - That's all right.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Why would anyone have a problem with that(?)

0:14:02 > 0:14:05And according to Natasha Sawkins and Juliet Thomas,

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yes, but he's not really around any more,

0:14:23 > 0:14:25whereas women from Essex might consider that if they're born

0:14:25 > 0:14:27in the county of Essex, they shouldn't all be stigmatised

0:14:27 > 0:14:30- with the same stereotype. - You're probably right.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Why can't they just take it out?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Because who's campaigning to keep that in?- It would be...

0:14:45 > 0:14:46It's not how things work, is it?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's in the dictionary because it's a term people use.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51And if people started taking... People might think,

0:14:51 > 0:14:53"Can we take the word 'poo' out of the dictionary?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55"It's not very nice, poo, is it?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57"You know, I don't really want to be reminded of poo."

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Then you just have a dictionary that's got nice words,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01like "peacefully" and "flower".

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Who's come out in support of Juliet and Natasha's campaign?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I think a lot of the arguments that Jeremy put
