CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:310:00:33

Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:380:00:41

I'm David Harewood.

0:00:410:00:42

In the news this week, running late before a rally on the environment,

0:00:420:00:46

Green Party leader Caroline Lucas rushes through the morning chores.

0:00:460:00:50

LAUGHTER

0:00:540:00:57

In London, Simon Cowell's butler admits he's getting a bit fed up

0:00:570:01:00

with having to deal with his boss' cats.

0:01:000:01:02

BELL RINGS

0:01:020:01:04

LAUGHTER

0:01:040:01:06

And after losing his job, Kelvin MacKenzie's week

0:01:150:01:18

goes from bad to worse as he regrets leaving his tin of toffees

0:01:180:01:21

out in the sun for too long.

0:01:210:01:23

LAUGHTER

0:01:250:01:27

Argh, jeez!

0:01:290:01:31

LAUGHTER

0:01:310:01:32

On Ian's team tonight, a writer and comedian

0:01:320:01:34

who's won both Celebrity Pointless and Celebrity Mastermind.

0:01:340:01:38

So obviously, he's very clever, for a celebrity.

0:01:380:01:41

Please welcome Josh Widdecombe.

0:01:410:01:43

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:430:01:45

And with Paul is a journalist and broadcaster

0:01:500:01:53

who started out on BBC Scotland.

0:01:530:01:56

And the way things are going,

0:01:560:01:57

she'll soon be back there as the BBC's foreign correspondent.

0:01:570:02:00

Please welcome Kirsty Wark.

0:02:010:02:03

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:030:02:05

And we start with the biggest stories of the week.

0:02:090:02:12

Ian and Josh, take a look at this.

0:02:120:02:14

Bananas.

0:02:140:02:16

That's Tim Farron on the Krypton Factor.

0:02:160:02:19

That's the BBC's top political interviewers, there.

0:02:190:02:21

And the reintroduction of grammar schools.

0:02:230:02:25

That last one, is it that they're remaking Big, starring Theresa May?

0:02:270:02:31

LAUGHTER

0:02:310:02:33

It's going to be a great film, I can't wait for it.

0:02:330:02:35

It's the election, presumably?

0:02:350:02:36

This is the news that

0:02:360:02:38

fearing Kirsty would give her too easy a ride on Newsnight,

0:02:380:02:41

Theresa May subjected herself to The One Show.

0:02:410:02:44

Which member of Theresa's team was trusted to appear alongside her?

0:02:440:02:46

It was her husband, Philip.

0:02:460:02:49

It was obviously a tough interview.

0:02:490:02:51

They went straight in with, "Do you like shoes?"

0:02:510:02:53

LAUGHTER

0:02:530:02:55

Yes, Alex and Matt, the grand inquistadores.

0:02:560:03:00

LAUGHTER

0:03:000:03:02

-Did she?

-Yes, she did like shoes,

0:03:020:03:04

as long as they were strong and stable.

0:03:040:03:06

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:060:03:10

Yes, the questions included how did they meet,

0:03:120:03:15

does he like jackets or jumpers

0:03:150:03:17

and, "Who takes the bins out?"

0:03:170:03:19

-It was him.

-That's right.

0:03:200:03:22

-Philip takes the bins out.

-But I've never seen it

0:03:220:03:24

because they've always got that kind of shot of Number Ten.

0:03:240:03:27

You've never seen him just...

0:03:270:03:28

LAUGHTER

0:03:280:03:29

All those first drafts of her speeches...

0:03:320:03:36

I wouldn't give him the job of putting the bins out.

0:03:360:03:38

It looks like the bins have put him out.

0:03:380:03:40

-LAUGHTER

-Poor devil.

0:03:400:03:43

But I don't understand,

0:03:430:03:44

you've got the Prime Minister on and the basis of the BBC line is,

0:03:440:03:47

"We won't ask about politics...

0:03:470:03:49

"..cos that would be unfair!"

0:03:500:03:53

That's the Prime Minister!

0:03:530:03:54

So what happens when Jeremy Corbyn comes on?

0:03:540:03:56

He may like that.

0:03:560:03:57

But, his partner's not going to go on with him.

0:04:000:04:02

No, they can't do a cosy Mr and Mrs, because Mrs won't come on.

0:04:020:04:05

So Diane Abbott will go on.

0:04:050:04:07

LAUGHTER

0:04:070:04:10

She'll have a problem with the figures, won't she?

0:04:100:04:12

Is it The One Show, The Five Show?

0:04:120:04:15

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:150:04:18

Did you like the answer, Kirsty,

0:04:180:04:19

that in life there are boy's jobs and girl's jobs?

0:04:190:04:24

That was a focus group job, wasn't it?

0:04:240:04:26

They've definitely done that for that audience, absolutely.

0:04:260:04:29

He takes the bins out, she...

0:04:290:04:30

-irons?

-I thought it was girls' jobs are being the Prime Minister...

0:04:300:04:34

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!

0:04:340:04:36

Boy's jobs - being in the City, making money.

0:04:380:04:40

-Strong and stable.

-Strong and stable, yes.

0:04:400:04:43

-Tie. No, he didn't wear a tie.

-He didn't wear a tie.

0:04:430:04:45

Didn't wear a tie, extraordinary behaviour.

0:04:450:04:47

LAUGHTER

0:04:470:04:50

Did you hear Theresa's uplifting story

0:04:500:04:51

about how she inspired a young woman to go into politics?

0:04:510:04:54

-Yes, I did.

-Did you? Was it inspiring?

0:04:540:04:57

It was. The young woman was inspired

0:04:570:04:59

by Theresa's shoes to go into politics.

0:04:590:05:01

She said, "The only reason I went into politics is your shoes."

0:05:010:05:05

And that woman was Marine Le Pen.

0:05:050:05:06

LAUGHTER

0:05:060:05:09

In fact, we can have a look at that clip right now.

0:05:140:05:16

Just to tell you a little story,

0:05:160:05:18

this happened about, I suppose, four or five years ago.

0:05:180:05:20

I was in the lift in the House of Commons,

0:05:200:05:22

and there was a young woman in the lift

0:05:220:05:24

and I happened to look down and I said, "Oh, nice pair of shoes."

0:05:240:05:26

And she said, "Oh, I like your shoes."

0:05:260:05:28

And then she looked at me and said,

0:05:280:05:30

"Your shoes got me involved in politics."

0:05:300:05:32

And now... You know?

0:05:320:05:34

LAUGHTER

0:05:340:05:37

-It's as easy as that!

-It's as easy as that.

0:05:370:05:39

What has Channel 4 News' Michael Crick

0:05:390:05:41

alleged about Theresa May's campaign?

0:05:410:05:43

It says a Conservative press officer has been refusing to allow questions

0:05:430:05:46

to Theresa May, unless they have prior approval to speak.

0:05:460:05:50

And this is in the Cabinet.

0:05:500:05:51

LAUGHTER

0:05:510:05:53

You're not suggesting the questions in Mrs May's meetings are planted?

0:05:530:05:58

I'm not suggesting that at all.

0:05:580:06:00

Who is then?

0:06:000:06:01

LAUGHTER

0:06:010:06:03

Kirsty, have you been allowed to ask Mrs May a question?

0:06:030:06:06

She keeps asking to come on, but we're being picky.

0:06:060:06:09

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:06:090:06:10

Other media outlets have said that they have had no such problems,

0:06:160:06:19

but Theresa May was heard to accuse someone at a recent factory visit...

0:06:190:06:22

They said, "No, this is a Biro factory."

0:06:250:06:28

LAUGHTER

0:06:280:06:32

You know, she's got a touch of the Trumps, touch of the Erdogans...

0:06:320:06:35

..all kicking in.

0:06:370:06:40

No, I think she's forgotten this is an election for Prime Minister,

0:06:400:06:43

not life president and dictator.

0:06:430:06:45

At least Jeremy Corbyn is prepared to meet people in the street.

0:06:460:06:49

Did you see what happened in Leicester the other day?

0:06:490:06:51

-No.

-Let's have a look.

0:06:510:06:53

Your hair?

0:06:530:06:54

LAUGHTER

0:06:550:06:58

Yes, that's better.

0:06:580:07:00

-Keep still.

-That one.

0:07:000:07:02

Do you know what? If he takes him on The One Show, that will be amazing.

0:07:030:07:07

Yes!

0:07:070:07:08

-Is he curing the sick?

-LAUGHTER

0:07:100:07:13

And another man said this to him...

0:07:130:07:15

LAUGHTER

0:07:210:07:23

"We met in the gents toilets."

0:07:260:07:29

He said, "I like your shoes."

0:07:290:07:30

Kirsty, who leaked the Labour Party manifesto to the BBC?

0:07:330:07:36

Was it you?

0:07:360:07:37

-LAUGHTER

-You see, there are people that say

0:07:370:07:40

that actually it was a kind of stunt,

0:07:400:07:42

because it would mean that it would come out and get a bit more play

0:07:420:07:46

and then Jeremy Corbyn wouldn't have to launch it next week,

0:07:460:07:49

the attention wouldn't all be on Jeremy Corbyn

0:07:490:07:52

because it would be out there.

0:07:520:07:53

I think they had to leak the Labour pledges early

0:07:530:07:56

in case the Tories just stole all of them.

0:07:560:07:59

LAUGHTER

0:07:590:08:00

I mean they've done that with electricity,

0:08:000:08:02

they might have done a lot really.

0:08:020:08:04

But would they actually say

0:08:040:08:05

-they would only use a nuclear deterrent with caution?

-Yeah.

0:08:050:08:09

-That was an extraordinary one.

-Is that unreasonable?

0:08:090:08:11

LAUGHTER

0:08:110:08:14

-JOSH:

-It should have said, cos it was a draft, if it just said,

0:08:140:08:17

"We're going to be gung ho with nuclear deterrents."

0:08:170:08:19

And then a little note by it, "Change this later."

0:08:190:08:22

LAUGHTER

0:08:220:08:24

After the Labour Party's manifesto was leaked on Wednesday,

0:08:240:08:27

many commentators agree it's a great shame to see all this Labour Party

0:08:270:08:31

infighting during the election.

0:08:310:08:33

I mean, come on, guys, it's your last one ever.

0:08:330:08:35

LAUGHTER

0:08:350:08:37

Would you like to see Diane Abbott

0:08:380:08:40

explaining the number of seats lost by Labour

0:08:400:08:42

at last week's local elections?

0:08:420:08:45

Do you know the number of net losses so far for Labour?

0:08:450:08:48

At the time of us doing this interview,

0:08:500:08:54

I think the net losses were about 50.

0:08:540:08:56

There are actually 125 net losses so far.

0:08:570:09:02

Well, the last time I looked

0:09:030:09:07

we had net losses of...

0:09:070:09:11

100. But obviously...

0:09:110:09:14

LAUGHTER

0:09:140:09:16

Sounds a bit like a doctor checking for concussion.

0:09:160:09:19

LAUGHTER

0:09:190:09:20

Should ask her who the Prime Minister is.

0:09:220:09:25

Did you see how Ed Miliband this week proved what an uphill struggle

0:09:270:09:30

-it is for Labour to keep the traditional working-class vote?

-No.

0:09:300:09:33

-No.

-He was actually in Doncaster

0:09:330:09:35

where he met an MP and tried to chat to a few locals who were unimpressed

0:09:350:09:39

and told the Sunday Times...

0:09:390:09:41

LAUGHTER

0:09:440:09:46

This is obviously the election campaign and the fierce grilling

0:09:460:09:49

of Mr and Mrs May on The One Show,

0:09:490:09:51

so-called because it's the one show Theresa May's prepared to go on.

0:09:510:09:54

LAUGHTER

0:09:540:09:56

Mr and Mrs May met at university and have been together ever since.

0:09:560:09:59

But, as we know, even though she's remained with him all this time,

0:09:590:10:02

Theresa could change her mind and leave at any minute.

0:10:020:10:05

LAUGHTER

0:10:050:10:07

According to the Daily Mail...

0:10:070:10:09

Corbyn doesn't want that.

0:10:120:10:14

He'd have to sleep with Diane Abbott all over again.

0:10:140:10:16

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:10:160:10:19

Also this week, Amber Rudd told reporters that

0:10:210:10:23

being Home Secretary was a bit like the TV series Homeland, saying...

0:10:230:10:28

Hang on a minute, six series?

0:10:310:10:33

They told me they stopped making it after they blew me up in series two.

0:10:330:10:37

LAUGHTER

0:10:370:10:40

Bastards!

0:10:400:10:41

-Can't trust anybody.

-Paul and Kirsty, here's one for you.

0:10:430:10:46

Yes. Avocado...

0:10:480:10:49

-Avocado-gate.

-Avocado-gate, is it?

0:10:490:10:53

SIREN BLARES, LAUGHTER

0:10:530:10:54

Thanks for putting the sound on, I would have been confused

0:10:540:10:57

as to what that vehicle was doing!

0:10:570:10:58

Yes, it seems to be avocados are causing damage amongst people

0:10:580:11:02

-in Great Britain, is that right?

-Yeah, there's been a lot of hands...

0:11:020:11:05

-It's soft, it's soft, what's that?

-Hand problems, hand surgery.

0:11:050:11:07

-Really?!

-Yes, lots of it.

0:11:070:11:10

You'll never carve another avocado again.

0:11:100:11:12

Those must be grim words to hear on a Friday night.

0:11:130:11:16

At last we've got a proper liberal, metropolitan story.

0:11:160:11:19

That guy from Doncaster's turned off, hasn't he?

0:11:210:11:24

Exactly! LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:240:11:26

Well, poofs talking about fruit.

0:11:290:11:32

LAUGHTER

0:11:320:11:34

I bet someone's just turned on at that moment.

0:11:340:11:36

LAUGHTER

0:11:360:11:37

Apparently the injuries are greater at the weekends.

0:11:370:11:40

In Glasgow, on Saturday night when you go to A&E...

0:11:400:11:42

Oh, yes, avocado, yeah.

0:11:420:11:44

"You'll have to get this one out, Doctor."

0:11:450:11:47

LAUGHTER

0:11:470:11:48

"Oh, Jesus Christ!

0:11:480:11:51

"That's the last time I talk about football, I tell you that much."

0:11:520:11:56

This is the shocking rise in avocado-related injuries.

0:11:560:11:59

At Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, in London...

0:11:590:12:03

LAUGHTER

0:12:030:12:04

-This is shocking!

-Chelsea, yeah.

0:12:040:12:06

It's a shocking rise.

0:12:060:12:08

-Shocking!

-At Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, in London,

0:12:080:12:10

surgeon Mr Eccles said he now treats about four patients a week.

0:12:100:12:15

Though, disappointingly, he's never encountered an injury

0:12:150:12:18

from a cake filled with currants.

0:12:180:12:20

LAUGHTER

0:12:200:12:21

So what's the name given by A&E surgeons,

0:12:210:12:24

-to this avocado-related injury?

-Idiocy.

0:12:240:12:27

LAUGHTER

0:12:270:12:28

I think I know. It's avocado hand.

0:12:280:12:31

Very, very good - point there.

0:12:310:12:33

Avocado hand -

0:12:330:12:34

where amateur cooks have slashed their hand

0:12:340:12:36

trying to cut into the fruit and remove the stone.

0:12:360:12:38

It's like stigmata.

0:12:380:12:40

I think the Irish police will be round for you.

0:12:420:12:44

LAUGHTER

0:12:440:12:46

Walking round Glasgow on a Saturday night going, "Stigmata!"

0:12:460:12:49

They didn't get Stephen Fry, they'll get you.

0:12:510:12:55

Who can give us the definitive technique for safely de-stoning?

0:12:550:13:00

-Get somebody else to do it.

-LAUGHTER

0:13:000:13:04

It's very simple,

0:13:040:13:05

you cut the avocado...

0:13:050:13:07

-KIRSTY:

-Yep.

0:13:070:13:08

Yep, how do you get the stone out?

0:13:080:13:11

-JOSH:

-Hoover.

0:13:110:13:12

Guppy fish.

0:13:140:13:16

-JOSH:

-Guppy fish!

0:13:160:13:17

What does cafe owner Catherine Scott

0:13:170:13:19

think avocados should be accompanied by?

0:13:190:13:21

-A health warning.

-Yes.

0:13:210:13:23

Small children mustn't try this, you must be 18 to cut an avocado.

0:13:230:13:26

-JOSH:

-Like on cigarettes, pictures of avocado injuries.

0:13:260:13:29

-KIRSTY:

-Avocado hand.

0:13:290:13:30

Four out of five avocado eaters can't grip a joystick.

0:13:320:13:36

-JOSH:

-Why are you doing that?

0:13:380:13:40

-You can't take Glasgow out of the girl...

-Finger loss.

0:13:420:13:45

Avocados should come with a health warning, that's right.

0:13:480:13:50

Catherine cut herself whilst slicing and avocado and said

0:13:500:13:53

she got no sympathy from her family.

0:13:530:13:55

-They're from Doncaster.

-They just...

0:13:560:13:58

LAUGHTER

0:14:000:14:02

But they soon stopped when she bashed them over the head

0:14:040:14:07

with her Brabantia pedal bin.

0:14:070:14:08

LAUGHTER

0:14:080:14:10

This of course is the dreadful news that more and more

0:14:100:14:12

middle-class people are injuring themselves preparing food,

0:14:120:14:15

especially avocados,

0:14:150:14:17

and that's just for starters.

0:14:170:14:18

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:180:14:21

And so to Round Two, the One-Armed Bandit Of News.

0:14:270:14:31

Fingers on buzzers, please,

0:14:310:14:34

and here is the first one.

0:14:340:14:36

BUZZER

0:14:400:14:41

-Trump.

-He's excelled himself,

0:14:410:14:42

he's shocked even America,

0:14:420:14:44

by sacking a man who's investigating him.

0:14:440:14:47

-KIRSTY:

-Mr Comey's in trouble.

0:14:470:14:48

But he only knew he was in trouble

0:14:480:14:50

because he was actually attending an FBI staff meeting,

0:14:500:14:53

and something came on the television behind

0:14:530:14:56

that he'd been sacked. And he said, "That's such a joke, you guys."

0:14:560:14:59

-JOSH:

-He thought he was being pranked?

0:14:590:15:01

-KIRSTY:

-Yes, FBI director thought he was being pranked.

0:15:010:15:03

Perhaps he should have just maintained that line.

0:15:030:15:05

-Yeah.

-And then Trump said, "No, no, you're fired." "Oh!"

0:15:050:15:10

Quite shocking, isn't it?

0:15:100:15:11

It's doubly shocking because he's replaced him with Melania Trump.

0:15:110:15:14

LAUGHTER

0:15:140:15:16

No, she'd lock him up!

0:15:160:15:18

LAUGHTER

0:15:180:15:19

I have no evidence for that!

0:15:210:15:23

What was the official reason for the shock dismissal of James Comey?

0:15:260:15:29

Because he's bad at his job.

0:15:290:15:30

"He's so bad at his job that I am still the President."

0:15:300:15:33

"He's failed to catch me! How bad is he?"

0:15:360:15:39

What has Donald Trump written in his letter to James Comey?

0:15:410:15:43

-What did he write?

-Is that where he said, "You're terminated"?

0:15:430:15:46

-That's right.

-It's like being on The Apprentice, isn't it?

0:15:460:15:48

-He just said, "You're fired."

-Yeah. He said, "You're terminated."

0:15:480:15:51

He was mixing up his programmes.

0:15:510:15:52

-JOSH:

-And then James Comey got a wheelie suitcase

0:15:520:15:55

and had to walk out.

0:15:550:15:56

LAUGHTER

0:15:560:15:57

Had to sit in a taxi, and go, "I thought I did well, actually!"

0:15:570:16:02

LAUGHTER

0:16:020:16:03

And let's just remind ourselves of the President's signature.

0:16:050:16:08

Absolutely nothing unhinged in that.

0:16:090:16:11

If that was on a life-support machine

0:16:150:16:16

you'd be in trouble, wouldn't you?

0:16:160:16:18

LAUGHTER

0:16:180:16:20

How did the White House press Secretary Sean Spicer try to avoid

0:16:200:16:24

reporters' questions?

0:16:240:16:26

Hid in the bushes while he talked to some members of the press.

0:16:260:16:29

-Oh, you're kidding.

-No, it's true.

0:16:290:16:31

They are completely nuts.

0:16:310:16:33

Sean Spicer actually hid in some bushes in the White House garden

0:16:340:16:38

and only agreed to answer questions

0:16:380:16:40

if the cameramen turned out their lights.

0:16:400:16:42

Are they doing Halloween 4?

0:16:450:16:46

This is true!

0:16:460:16:48

This is actual truth. After carrying this story, the Washington Post then

0:16:480:16:51

published this correction.

0:16:510:16:53

Trying to make out he was talking to two Bushes,

0:17:130:17:15

ex-President Bush and the other President Bush.

0:17:150:17:17

What did we learn about Donald Trump's exercise routine this week?

0:17:190:17:23

-That he doesn't have one.

-That's right.

0:17:230:17:25

-He doesn't do any.

-No.

0:17:250:17:26

He believes that in order to live longer

0:17:260:17:28

we should not do any exercise.

0:17:280:17:31

This is good news.

0:17:310:17:32

LAUGHTER

0:17:320:17:33

Apparently there's been some more shock news on the jobs front.

0:17:380:17:42

Anyone know who's resigned this week?

0:17:420:17:43

Marlene McGregory from Glasgow,

0:17:440:17:46

who's quit her job as a cleaner with this resignation letter.

0:17:460:17:50

IN A SCOTTISH ACCENT: "Dear Mr MacGillivray.

0:17:500:17:52

"Notice of termination of employment.

0:17:520:17:55

"The job's crap and I'm leaving.

0:17:550:17:57

"I'll no' be back after June 30th.

0:17:580:18:00

"Cannae wait. Good luck in getting some other mug to clean your place.

0:18:000:18:03

"Cheerio, Marlene."

0:18:030:18:05

APPLAUSE

0:18:050:18:07

That was my off-the-cuff Scottish accent.

0:18:090:18:11

I didn't think this show would end up with me accusing you of racism.

0:18:110:18:14

LAUGHTER

0:18:140:18:16

Now, this, of course, is the controversial sacking

0:18:180:18:22

of FBI chief James Comey.

0:18:220:18:23

The decision to sack Mr Comey came from the very top,

0:18:230:18:27

Vladimir Putin.

0:18:270:18:28

Fingers on buzzers, teams, here's the next one.

0:18:290:18:32

BUZZER

0:18:370:18:38

I don't know what this is,

0:18:380:18:39

but that's what they used to call a hobbyhorse, isn't it,

0:18:390:18:41

so this must be some sort of hobbyhorse racing?

0:18:410:18:44

-That's right.

-Is it?

-Yes.

0:18:440:18:46

This is the news that hobbyhorsing is the latest craze

0:18:460:18:49

to hit the Finnish teens.

0:18:490:18:50

Shall we have a look at a bit of hobbyhorsing?

0:18:500:18:53

-Yes, absolutely.

-Let's do it.

0:18:530:18:54

Now if a sport ever needed to be drug tested, it's that one.

0:19:080:19:12

Very bleak footage where one of them falls

0:19:130:19:15

and they have to put a curtain around the hobbyhorse.

0:19:150:19:18

Are there no horses in Finland?

0:19:200:19:21

No! It's actually estimated that

0:19:210:19:23

there are more than 10,000 people hobbyhorsing in Finland

0:19:230:19:27

-and 200 people...

-Who's estimated that, Diane Abbott?

0:19:270:19:29

LAUGHTER

0:19:290:19:32

200 people competed in the national championships recently.

0:19:340:19:37

Let's have a quick game of Don't Be An Idiom.

0:19:370:19:40

What is the origin of the hobbyhorse?

0:19:400:19:43

I think it's before we had horses, wasn't it?

0:19:430:19:46

Because you wouldn't bother with that

0:19:460:19:48

if there was a real horse over there!

0:19:480:19:49

You wouldn't bother with a stick and stick his head on it, would you?

0:19:490:19:53

That would be perverse.

0:19:530:19:54

In the 1400s, it was a small horse,

0:19:540:19:57

then it became a horse costume worn by Morris dancers.

0:19:570:20:01

-KIRSTY:

-Bloody Morris dancers!

-Let's have a look.

0:20:010:20:03

There he is.

0:20:030:20:05

Does my arse look big in this?

0:20:050:20:06

This is the latest craze to hit Finland.

0:20:080:20:11

It's such an obsession with Finnish girls

0:20:110:20:13

that they are out on their hobbyhorses from dawn till dusk.

0:20:130:20:16

That's a whole hour. LAUGHTER

0:20:160:20:19

According to an enthusiast, hobbyhorsing has a feminist agenda,

0:20:210:20:25

especially if during a race

0:20:250:20:26

one of the other girls throws herself in front of your horse.

0:20:260:20:29

Now it's time for the Odd One Out round.

0:20:310:20:34

Li Liangwei, Reza Parastesh, Charlie Chaplin and Christopher Hayward.

0:20:340:20:38

BUZZER

0:20:380:20:40

Right, it's got to be lookalikes, I know that,

0:20:400:20:42

because the guy in the top left

0:20:420:20:44

is China's premier Donald Trump impersonator.

0:20:440:20:47

It makes you wonder, the people that turn up if he can't do the gig.

0:20:470:20:50

That's obviously Jeremy Corbyn.

0:20:520:20:54

I'm assuming it's a lookalike of Jeremy Corbyn down there.

0:20:540:20:57

Charlie Chaplin, he had lookalikes cashing in on his fame

0:20:570:21:00

while he was making films, is it about lookalikes?

0:21:000:21:03

Which is the odd one out?

0:21:030:21:05

It's Charlie Chaplin,

0:21:050:21:06

cos he's not a lookalike of himself.

0:21:060:21:08

That's absolutely right.

0:21:080:21:10

They are all successful lookalikes apart from Charlie Chaplin,

0:21:100:21:13

who, despite inspiring countless lookalikes,

0:21:130:21:15

was originally told to change his trademark look

0:21:150:21:17

as it would never be a success.

0:21:170:21:19

Yeah. He was told to get rid of his moustache...

0:21:190:21:21

-Who by?

-Hitler.

0:21:210:21:22

In a newly discovered letter

0:21:260:21:27

written by bosses of the film studio Universal in 1912,

0:21:270:21:31

it suggested that Charlie Chaplin

0:21:310:21:33

should lose his name and his moustache

0:21:330:21:34

and change his hat to a beret.

0:21:340:21:36

He didn't invent the costume until 1913,

0:21:380:21:40

so how was the letter written in 1912?

0:21:400:21:42

Well, maybe they were just looking at his act.

0:21:420:21:45

Yeah, yeah, yes, I'll let it go.

0:21:450:21:49

LAUGHTER

0:21:490:21:51

Being a lookalike can be a dangerous business,

0:21:510:21:54

as Iranian student Reza Parastesh found out this week.

0:21:540:21:57

Who is Reza the absolute spitting image of?

0:21:570:21:59

He's Lionel Messi.

0:21:590:22:01

Yes, that's the one.

0:22:010:22:02

It's Barcelona star football player Lionel Messi.

0:22:020:22:05

-It's uncanny.

-Unbelievable, that.

0:22:050:22:07

-KIRSTY:

-Amazing.

0:22:070:22:08

-JOSH:

-That's... That's just Lionel Messi!

0:22:090:22:12

He's going, "Do you know what, I bet I could make an extra £100

0:22:120:22:15

"as a lookalike of myself."

0:22:150:22:16

He looks so much like Messi,

0:22:160:22:18

he causes traffic chaos in his home city of Iran.

0:22:180:22:21

Reza's father takes his son's similarities to Messi to heart.

0:22:210:22:24

Anyone know what his father did when Messi scored a winning goal

0:22:240:22:27

against Iran in the 2014 World Cup?

0:22:270:22:29

Threw him out of the house or something like that?

0:22:290:22:32

Exactly right. He banned him from the house.

0:22:320:22:34

LAUGHTER

0:22:340:22:35

Having joined a lookalike agency, Reza Parastesh,

0:22:420:22:46

the Iranian Lionel Messi, is now getting a lot of bookings.

0:22:460:22:49

In fact, last week he was sent off.

0:22:490:22:51

Now, Li Liangwei is China's only Donald Trump impersonator.

0:22:530:22:56

So is he making a living from this?

0:22:560:22:58

Apparently. Now what criticism of his impersonation

0:22:580:23:00

does Li Liangwei agree with?

0:23:000:23:02

He doesn't look like him.

0:23:020:23:04

He doesn't sound like him.

0:23:040:23:05

He makes no attempt to appear like him?

0:23:050:23:07

He doesn't even know who Donald Trump is?

0:23:090:23:11

He admits that he looks absolutely nothing like Donald Trump.

0:23:110:23:15

But what is the one aspect of Trump that Li thinks he's got down to a T?

0:23:150:23:18

Hand gestures?

0:23:180:23:19

Exactly. Trump's thumbs up gesture,

0:23:200:23:24

which his agent says is spot-on.

0:23:240:23:26

Let's compare the two.

0:23:300:23:31

Now there isn't a single thing about him that looks like

0:23:320:23:35

the President of the United States, is there?

0:23:350:23:37

But unbelievably, that's what Donald Trump is.

0:23:370:23:40

LAUGHTER

0:23:410:23:42

Anyone want to see a Chinese pheasant

0:23:430:23:45

that looks more like Donald Trump

0:23:450:23:47

than the Chinese Donald Trump lookalike?

0:23:470:23:49

-Yes, please.

-Um, yeah.

-Well, here it is.

0:23:490:23:51

APPLAUSE

0:23:540:23:57

What links North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un

0:23:580:24:01

and an unobservant mum in Derby?

0:24:010:24:04

A refusal to watch ITV.

0:24:040:24:05

Jake tweeted this.

0:24:070:24:08

Here it is.

0:24:160:24:18

LAUGHTER

0:24:180:24:19

-JOSH:

-That is amazing.

0:24:220:24:23

That is hilarious.

0:24:230:24:24

Now it's time for the Missing Words round,

0:24:240:24:26

which this week features as its guest publication Up Yer Kilt.

0:24:260:24:30

Do you know this?

0:24:320:24:34

-I subscribe.

-Do you?

0:24:340:24:35

-JOSH:

-Page Three is harrowing.

0:24:370:24:38

Which is a Scottish metal detecting magazine.

0:24:430:24:47

What are you going to find up there?

0:24:470:24:49

That's why you need a special detector.

0:24:520:24:54

And we start with,

0:24:550:24:57

Pope Francis to what for the first time in Vatican history?

0:24:570:25:00

Is it marry a supermodel?

0:25:000:25:02

-JOSH:

-Admit it's all a bit far-fetched?

0:25:040:25:06

LAUGHTER

0:25:060:25:07

The answer is - "Pope Francis to appear in a feature film."

0:25:130:25:16

Oh!!

0:25:160:25:18

The Pope has appeared in a new film

0:25:180:25:20

which will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next week.

0:25:200:25:23

The Pontiff's acting was praised

0:25:230:25:24

but he did annoy the director a bit when he started his scene by saying

0:25:240:25:28

"Let there be lights, camera, action."

0:25:280:25:31

Next, the worst thing about metal detecting is what?

0:25:310:25:36

The hours, the loneliness...

0:25:360:25:38

The fact that you don't trust anybody...

0:25:380:25:40

Do they love you or just your collection of metal?

0:25:400:25:43

The actual answer is -

0:25:430:25:44

"The worst thing about metal detecting is the rivalry

0:25:440:25:47

-"between different groups." ALL:

-Yes!

0:25:470:25:50

It's a real shame, every time they bury their differences,

0:25:500:25:53

some idiot digs them up again.

0:25:530:25:54

LAUGHTER

0:25:540:25:56

Next, attention-seeking gorilla wows crowds at zoo by performing what?

0:25:560:26:01

-JOSH:

-Oh, it's the drum solo from the Dairy Milk advert.

0:26:010:26:03

-I was amazed at that.

-Yeah.

0:26:060:26:08

Actually, it's ballet routines.

0:26:080:26:10

Here's a picture of the animal

0:26:100:26:12

mid-performance in the Devonshire zoo.

0:26:120:26:13

-JOSH:

-Oh, wow.

0:26:130:26:15

Sadly this piece didn't actually feature in the Sun newspaper,

0:26:150:26:18

as they'd just sacked their gorilla expert.

0:26:180:26:20

LAUGHTER

0:26:200:26:23

And finally, what dragged mercilessly offstage

0:26:230:26:26

for what mid-performance?

0:26:260:26:28

-JOSH:

-"FBI chief dragged mercilessly offstage for doing his job

0:26:280:26:32

"mid-performance."

0:26:320:26:33

"Attention-seeking gorilla dragged mercilessly offstage

0:26:330:26:37

"for forgetting the words to Give Me A Man At Midnight mid-performance."

0:26:370:26:40

-I'd like to see that.

-So would I, have you got a clip for it?

0:26:410:26:44

Where do we look?

0:26:440:26:46

It's actually - "Dancing Pikachu dragged mercilessly

0:26:460:26:49

"offstage for deflating mid-performance."

0:26:490:26:52

At the Pokemon World Festival, one Pikachu's costume started to deflate

0:26:530:26:57

midway through the big dance performance. Let's have a look.

0:26:570:27:00

LAUGHTER

0:27:090:27:13

Brilliant.

0:27:210:27:22

So the final scores are Paul and Kirsty with nine points,

0:27:240:27:28

and Ian and Josh with five points.

0:27:280:27:30

I'm very sorry!

0:27:340:27:36

On which note, we say thank you to our panellists -

0:27:400:27:42

Ian Hislop and Josh Widdecombe, Paul Merton and Kirsty Wark -

0:27:420:27:45

and I leave you with news that Buckingham Palace denies reports

0:27:450:27:48

that Prince Philip's decision to retire from royal duties

0:27:480:27:51

may have been due to his failing eyesight.

0:27:510:27:53

As tensions rise on the border of North and South Korea,

0:27:580:28:01

Kim's troops line up every weapon available.

0:28:010:28:03

And as the number of avocado-related accidents increase,

0:28:070:28:10

there's also evidence of the terrible injuries

0:28:100:28:12

that can be inflicted when slicing a red pepper.

0:28:120:28:15

Goodnight.

0:28:180:28:19
