The studio are real excited about getting you on board.

0:00:020:00:04

-They think you're perfect for the part.

-That's fantastic.

0:00:040:00:06

So here's what I'm gonna do.

0:00:060:00:08

I'm gonna set up a meeting with you, Will Ferrell and Ben Affleck

0:00:080:00:11

so you guys can get to know each other and then we can get on and make this movie.

0:00:110:00:15

-Great. Thanks, Chuck.

-No, thank you.

0:00:150:00:18

Now I just need you to sign right here,

0:00:180:00:21

and then there's the small matter of the registration fee, and we're good to go.

0:00:210:00:26

-HE CHUCKLES

-OK.

0:00:260:00:29

You can't trust anyone in Hollywood, but you can trust Wax & Shine.

0:00:290:00:34

Wax & Shine. Good, honest car polish.

0:00:340:00:38

OK, thanks.

0:00:380:00:39

-Is... Is that it?

-Yeah, they'll let you know.

0:00:410:00:44

BELL RINGS Next.

0:00:440:00:46

# I wanna get high

0:01:050:01:06

# But I really can't take the pain... #

0:01:060:01:10

It's fantastic news.

0:01:110:01:15

I know.

0:01:150:01:17

Well, he hasn't won yet.

0:01:170:01:18

Anyway... Anyway, it's amazing. He will be so pleased.

0:01:180:01:22

Oh, OK. Yeah, bye.

0:01:220:01:25

What's happened now?

0:01:250:01:27

Oh, it's just the comedy award nominations have been announced.

0:01:270:01:30

- Oh, let me guess. - Yeah, Dan's been...

0:01:300:01:32

Dan's up for one, is he? What is it, Luckiest Bastard Alive?

0:01:320:01:36

No, it's Best TV Personality.

0:01:360:01:37

I don't really think of him as having a personality.

0:01:370:01:40

- And Best Newcomer. - Best Newcomer?!

0:01:400:01:43

He's been around for years.

0:01:430:01:44

And Best Stand-up.

0:01:440:01:46

HE GROANS

0:01:460:01:48

- Is there any more milk? - We've run out.

0:01:490:01:53

Oh, I've just poured myself a whole...

0:01:530:01:55

- Why can't we have a milkman any more? - We could if you apologised.

0:01:550:01:58

Instead of all this messing around at the newsagents.

0:01:580:02:01

- If you do go, we need some bin liners.

0:02:010:02:03

- I mean, Dan Arrow-Smith, Best Stand-up?

0:02:030:02:05

I know you're his agent, but come on.

0:02:050:02:07

He's been nominated. He might not win.

0:02:070:02:08

Oh, course he will. People like that always do.

0:02:080:02:11

- Oh, well, wish him luck from me. - Will do.

0:02:110:02:14

Oh, what happened about the advert, the car polish one?

0:02:140:02:16

I haven't heard. No doubt Dan Arrow-Smith will get it...

0:02:160:02:19

PHONE RINGS ..along with a free supply of polish.

0:02:190:02:22

- Hello. - He can shine his awards.

0:02:220:02:24

MEL: Hi. Yeah. Yes, isn't it?

0:02:240:02:27

And the award for best performance in a car polish advert goes to Dan Arrow-Smith.

0:02:270:02:33

Oh, great.

0:02:330:02:35

MARTY: You see Mel's guy got nominated?

0:02:390:02:41

Did he? I hadn't noticed.

0:02:410:02:43

Best Stand-up and Best TV Personality.

0:02:430:02:45

- And Best Newcomer. Unbelievable. - He must be doing something right.

0:02:450:02:49

Oh, come on, Marty, he's just flavour of the month. We've all been there.

0:02:490:02:54

I wouldn't mind if he was any good.

0:02:540:02:55

Wouldn't it be funny if your hair was made of pasta?

0:02:550:02:57

No, it'd be a bloody nuisance.

0:02:570:02:59

Imagine at the barbers. Anything on it? Yes, please, Parmesan.

0:02:590:03:01

It's all so obvious. Anyone can come up with that stuff.

0:03:010:03:04

- Well, you didn't, and you had 20 years. - Neither did you.

0:03:040:03:07

You hate surreal. You've always hated surreal.

0:03:070:03:09

- Not as much as I do now.

0:03:090:03:10

Come on, let's get on with...

0:03:100:03:12

What are we supposed to be doing? You're not even getting corporate gigs any more.

0:03:120:03:15

- The pest control convention. - That was six weeks ago.

0:03:150:03:18

Five. Anyway, it's the recession, that's the problem.

0:03:180:03:21

This is a global thing I'm up against. I'm just laying low

0:03:210:03:23

till China kick-starts the whole thing, and then I'll be up and away.

0:03:230:03:27

- It'll be like before.

0:03:270:03:28

Anyway, you can talk. If it wasn't for America, we wouldn't be in all this mess.

0:03:280:03:32

Oh, please, not that again.

0:03:320:03:33

Well, it's true. Handing out mortgages to all those bums.

0:03:330:03:36

What the hell were you thinking of?

0:03:360:03:38

You've ruined everything, you have.

0:03:380:03:40

MAGDA TUTS AND SIGHS

0:03:400:03:43

Cereal is everywhere.

0:03:430:03:45

Really? Oh.

0:03:450:03:46

Must have been Mel. She was in a hurry this morning. I'll have a word with her.

0:03:460:03:50

She is very happy her client has won these prizes.

0:03:500:03:52

Awards. Anyway, he hasn't won anything.

0:03:520:03:55

He's just been nominated, which means he might win, that's all.

0:03:550:03:58

- So perhaps you will win? - No. No, you have to be nominated.

0:03:580:04:02

Why have you not been...

0:04:020:04:04

Nominated? Well, because I'm too well established.

0:04:040:04:07

I can't win Best Newcomer when I've been around for as long as I have, you know.

0:04:070:04:11

- Oh, I understand. - Good.

0:04:110:04:13

Oh, God, we need milk. And can you get some bin liners?

0:04:150:04:18

Perhaps you could win Best TV Personality prize?

0:04:180:04:21

Award.

0:04:210:04:22

No, I...I can't win Best Personality,

0:04:220:04:25

because you have to be a newcomer to win that as well.

0:04:250:04:29

- Best Stand-up?

0:04:290:04:31

- Yeah, and Best Stand-up. You need to be new for that too.

0:04:310:04:35

Dan Arrow-Smith...

0:04:350:04:37

- Is he funny? - Oh! Oh, he's certainly popular.

0:04:370:04:40

- What are his jokes? - Oh, you know.

0:04:400:04:43

Wouldn't it be funny if your hair was made of pasta?

0:04:430:04:46

You know, you get spaghetti for hair. Er...wouldn't that be funny?

0:04:460:04:49

- Why would man have spaghetti for hairs?

0:04:500:04:53

- I have no idea. I agree it's unlikely.

0:04:530:04:54

- Then why have you said this? - It's in his act.

0:04:540:04:57

You think this is funny, that man have spaghetti for hairs?

0:04:570:04:59

No, I don't. As it happens, I think it's a pathetic idea.

0:04:590:05:02

- Then why have you said is funny? - No, I didn't say it's funny.

0:05:020:05:05

I said he said it's funny, OK?

0:05:050:05:08

This is not funny.

0:05:090:05:11

Well, I only wish you were on the judging panel.

0:05:110:05:14

RICK: You might as well pick random words out a hat.

0:05:150:05:17

MARTY: Good you didn't let it get to you.

0:05:170:05:19

RICK: It's so easy. You can say anything.

0:05:190:05:21

Ooh, wouldn't it be funny if your fingers were made of marzipan?

0:05:210:05:24

Hooray, have an award, you're a genius.

0:05:240:05:26

- Can we change the subject, please? - Yeah, let's talk about lampposts.

0:05:260:05:30

Aren't lampposts a bit like giant toothbrushes?

0:05:300:05:33

Playing basketball with a team of gingerbread bishops,

0:05:330:05:36

trapped in a lava lamp made of shark's tears and terrapin bollocks.

0:05:360:05:40

- Michael. - Marty. So...

0:05:400:05:45

congratulations.

0:05:450:05:46

- What? - Mel's client getting three nominations.

0:05:460:05:48

- You must be over the moon. - Oh, yeah, we're all delighted.

0:05:480:05:51

I bet. Good for Mel. Finally, she's got a real star on her hands.

0:05:510:05:54

MARTY: You like him, Michael?

0:05:540:05:55

Oh, who doesn't? He's so zany! Some of the things he comes up with...

0:05:550:05:59

Wouldn't it be great if your hair was made of pasta?

0:05:590:06:01

It's like he's in the room.

0:06:010:06:03

Like anything on that? Yes, please, bolognese sauce.

0:06:030:06:05

- Actually, it's Parmesan on his hair.

0:06:050:06:08

- Oh, yes, Parmesan, that's it.

0:06:080:06:10

- I can see you're a fan. - Not exactly.

0:06:100:06:12

It's so clever how he just comes up with an idea like that, isn't it?

0:06:120:06:15

More juvenile, really.

0:06:150:06:16

Mind you, you come up with some brilliant material as well, don't you, Marty?

0:06:160:06:20

PHONE RINGS - I'd better take that. Excuse me.

0:06:200:06:23

Hi, Steve. Yeah, are we on for this afternoon?

0:06:230:06:26

He never stops, does he?

0:06:260:06:28

I'm surprised he's not up for an award or two himself.

0:06:280:06:31

Yes, I love all that surreal stuff,

0:06:310:06:33

the way he just makes things up on the spot.

0:06:330:06:36

Yeah, I was thinking...

0:06:370:06:40

wouldn't it be funny if you had marzipan fingers? Can you imagine?

0:06:400:06:43

Sorry?

0:06:430:06:44

Imagine trying to run a place like this

0:06:440:06:46

with marzipan fingers. Sorry, I can't seem to...

0:06:460:06:50

I woke up this morning and my fingers

0:06:500:06:52

had turned to marzipan. I don't know why. Sorry.

0:06:520:06:56

Very awkward business. But, anyway, there you are. Marzipan fingers.

0:06:560:07:00

- I've got fingers made of marzipan. - I'll get you a coffee. - Yeah.

0:07:000:07:04

Is there still no milk?

0:07:140:07:15

Oh, I don't know. I just grabbed this.

0:07:150:07:17

- Oh. So how's the job-hunting going? - Oh, no, no luck.

0:07:170:07:22

I gave it a go last Tuesday. - Did you?

0:07:220:07:23

- To be honest, I just don't think there's much around at the moment. - No, no.

0:07:230:07:27

- It's the recession, Dad. - I don't know how long you can blame the recession.

0:07:270:07:30

Yeah, still, probably just gonna wait for the festival season

0:07:300:07:33

to come around, see what happens.

0:07:330:07:35

Oh, yeah, yeah, maybe get a job as a steward or...

0:07:350:07:37

- No, I'll just go to them, basically. - Yeah, just chill.

0:07:370:07:40

Yeah, but they do have work there.

0:07:400:07:42

- You could get a job. - Yeah, Spikey tried that last year.

0:07:420:07:45

- Oh, God. Did he? - He was trying to watch the bands.

0:07:450:07:47

- They were like, "Pick up that litter." - "Go and help out in the car park."

0:07:470:07:51

Yeah, and Spikey was like, "Um...hello? Dizzee's on."

0:07:510:07:55

Yeah, exactly. Don't want to miss Dizzee!

0:07:550:07:57

- And then they sacked him. - Did they? Oh.

0:07:570:07:59

So he just stayed and watched the bands.

0:07:590:08:01

- Yeah, didn't even pay him. - Outrageous.

0:08:010:08:03

HE SIGHS Oh, well,

0:08:030:08:06

- good luck with the job-hunting and... - Cheers.

0:08:060:08:08

PHONE RINGS - Oh.

0:08:080:08:10

Hello?

0:08:100:08:12

Who? Oh, Alan, hi.

0:08:120:08:14

- Sorry, it's...it's my agent. - Oh.

0:08:140:08:18

Britain's what?

0:08:180:08:19

HE MOUTHS

0:08:210:08:23

HE MOUTHS

0:08:260:08:27

MEL: Yeah, no, it's not a problem.

0:08:270:08:29

You know that... You know that advert I went up for?

0:08:290:08:32

- Yeah, yeah, definitely. - (WHISPERS) For car polish.

0:08:320:08:34

Oh, right. Yeah, I'll do that, OK.

0:08:340:08:37

- For Wax & Shine. You remember the...

0:08:370:08:39

- I'll get onto that first thing. OK, bye.

0:08:390:08:41

You know that Wax & Shine car polish ad that I went up for?

0:08:410:08:44

- You got it? - No, but they showed my audition tape to someone...

0:08:440:08:48

PHONE RINGS - Oh, I'm sorry.

0:08:480:08:49

- Um...hi, Izzy. I'll call you back. - They showed my audition tape to someone.

0:08:490:08:52

PHONE RINGS - Sorry, I'll turn it off.

0:08:520:08:56

They showed my audition tape to someone and they want me as a presenter.

0:08:580:09:02

- Wow! - Said I've got the perfect face for it.

0:09:020:09:05

- What is it? What's the show? - You know the Bargain Channel?

0:09:050:09:08

- Britain's premier shopping channel! - Oh, it's a shopping channel.

0:09:080:09:12

You know Daryl and Donna. They present the four-hour Lucky Dip slot. - Right.

0:09:120:09:16

Daryl's going on holiday somewhere. They want me to fill in.

0:09:160:09:19

- What? Well, that's brilliant. - Mm.

0:09:190:09:21

- So it's a double celebration, then. - Yeah. Hm?

0:09:210:09:24

- Dan's nominations. - Oh, yeah.

0:09:240:09:27

This is my own show, basically. I can do whatever I want.

0:09:270:09:29

Obviously I've got to sell mops and things, although it isn't just mops

0:09:290:09:32

cos it is Lucky Dip, but this could be a whole new career for me.

0:09:320:09:35

- So when do you start? - Next Monday. - That soon?

0:09:350:09:37

- They don't hang about! They're Britain's premier shopping channel.

0:09:370:09:40

So I've heard. Well, you deserve another drink. Same again?

0:09:400:09:44

Thanks.

0:09:440:09:47

Welcome to the Bargain Channel.

0:09:470:09:49

Hello. Hello. Hello.

0:09:490:09:51

Hello and welcome to the Bargain Channel.

0:09:510:09:55

DONNA: £12.99. You know what, Rick?

0:10:060:10:08

That is such good value for what you're getting.

0:10:080:10:10

It certainly is, and the really interesting thing about this, Donna,

0:10:100:10:14

is this isn't any old duster.

0:10:140:10:15

It's made of a special anti-static fabric, so the dust particles don't become charged

0:10:150:10:20

and then attract back onto the surface that you just dusted.

0:10:200:10:23

I love that! You know it was actually developed by NASA?

0:10:230:10:26

It was indeed developed by NASA.

0:10:260:10:28

You know when they say it's not rocket science?

0:10:280:10:30

- Well, this actually is.

0:10:300:10:32

SHE CHUCKLES Quite.

0:10:320:10:33

And remember none of these items are available in the shops.

0:10:330:10:36

Just £12.99 and this special anti-static duster is yours

0:10:360:10:39

plus the Hygeynie keyboard wipes and...

0:10:390:10:42

- Rick. - Wait, it's a good bit.

0:10:420:10:44

- Please, God, make it stop. MUTES TELEVISION

0:10:440:10:47

You know what's interesting? My first-day sales were 4% up on Daryl's.

0:10:470:10:51

- Do not try to defend this. - Marty, I'm good at this. Get over it.

0:10:510:10:54

That's like saying you're good at arson or embroidery.

0:10:540:10:57

It's not something to be proud of.

0:10:570:10:59

- What you're missing...

0:10:590:11:00

- What I'm missing is something to write.

0:11:000:11:02

What do you want? Funny prices? £15.95. Is that a funny price?

0:11:020:11:05

No, what I was gonna say is this could lead to bigger things.

0:11:050:11:08

That's what you said when you went for the car wax commercial. Well, you know what?

0:11:080:11:12

This is the bigger thing that it led to. This is the bigger thing.

0:11:120:11:15

The thing you are now doing is it.

0:11:150:11:17

You're wrong. I'm on the fast track now. This is gonna lead to all sorts.

0:11:170:11:20

Magic scissors, lint rollers, reusable freezer bags.

0:11:200:11:24

I know. It's an exciting time for us all.

0:11:240:11:26

You just don't get it, do you? Huh. Yeah, look, got you some of these.

0:11:260:11:31

Hygeynie keyboard wipes. They're really good.

0:11:310:11:33

Should we ever need to use the keyboard again, I'll wipe it down with one of these. Thank you.

0:11:330:11:37

- They're not just for keyboards. You can use them for telephones, remote controls...

0:11:370:11:41

- No Marty today, then? - Er...no, I haven't seen him today.

0:11:490:11:52

He's ill. - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Nothing serious, I hope?

0:11:520:11:55

Oh, we'll see. Can I have the chilli con carne, please?

0:11:550:11:58

Chilli con carne. So what are you up to, then, work-wise?

0:11:580:12:01

Quite exciting, I've just started this new television project.

0:12:010:12:03

- Oh, well done. - It's pretty major. I was head-hunted.

0:12:030:12:06

That's a relief, cos yesterday I had the television on and there you were on the Bargain Channel...

0:12:060:12:11

It's Britain's premier shopping channel.

0:12:110:12:13

...some sort of furry coat hanger.

0:12:130:12:14

- They're thermally heated. - I thought, "Poor Rick. Things must be desperate."

0:12:140:12:18

- I'm just filling in...

0:12:180:12:19

- What's this new TV project, then? - What? - The exciting one.

0:12:190:12:23

Oh, that's something else I can't go into because...

0:12:230:12:27

for reasons that...that are there.

0:12:270:12:31

- Can I have the chilli con carne? - I tell you what, Rick,

0:12:310:12:33

we can do better than that. You order the chilli con carne, I'll throw in some free nachos.

0:12:330:12:37

See, I sold you that. Maybe I should be on the Bargain Channel.

0:12:370:12:40

Er...well...well, no, you shouldn't, because...

0:12:400:12:44

I had already ordered the chilli con carne so you didn't actually sell me anything.

0:12:440:12:49

So...no.

0:12:490:12:51

Sorry.

0:12:530:12:54

So when do you think Marty will be back?

0:12:570:12:59

Call us now. 08081 570 570.

0:13:020:13:05

And remember, the first 20 callers will receive a free set

0:13:050:13:08

of these replacement scourer pads.

0:13:080:13:11

That number again, 08081 570 570.

0:13:110:13:15

And, speaking of gifts, Donna,

0:13:150:13:16

that brings me very neatly on to our next item, which really is rather special.

0:13:160:13:20

It's this top-of-the-range indoor plant sprayer.

0:13:200:13:24

- All right, Dad? - Hi. Hi, hi.

0:13:240:13:27

- This you, then? - Yeah, that's just...just me, yeah.

0:13:270:13:30

- On the Bargain Channel. - Britain's premier shopping channel.

0:13:300:13:34

It's quite a cult with the students.

0:13:340:13:36

No, it's Price Drop. That's the one everyone's into these days.

0:13:360:13:39

Yeah, remember we phoned up and got Spikey a lawn mower.

0:13:390:13:42

20 quid, so we thought, you know, got to be done.

0:13:420:13:44

A lawn mower? I thought Spikey lived in a high-rise flat.

0:13:440:13:48

Yeah, 14th floor. Should have seen the look on his face.

0:13:480:13:51

Yeah, he was like, "What do I want this for?"

0:13:510:13:53

He thought in the end, you know, "I know, I'll use it as a Hoover."

0:13:530:13:56

- Oh, good idea. - They're so noisy indoors.

0:13:560:13:59

What, a mower? That's why they usually...

0:13:590:14:01

It worked, though. It sucked everything up.

0:14:010:14:03

You know, fag packets, biscuits, the lot.

0:14:030:14:05

Only then he went over a can of Red Bull

0:14:050:14:08

and, you know, mangled the blades, tore up his carpet.

0:14:080:14:10

Oh, well, that's bad luck.

0:14:100:14:11

- So that was the end of the lawn mower? - Yeah.

0:14:110:14:14

He couldn't be bothered taking it down the lift so he dangled it out the window on the flex.

0:14:140:14:18

Yeah, he tied the plug to his radiator and left it hanging there.

0:14:180:14:21

Course, that's what I would have done.

0:14:210:14:23

The council came round, took it down, said if it landed on someone from that height, could killed them.

0:14:230:14:27

- It's health and safety gone mad. - Exactly.

0:14:270:14:30

- Hello. What's this? - Oh, just an ornament thing, windmill.

0:14:300:14:34

- Turn it up. - RICK ON TV: Absolutely.

0:14:340:14:36

That's not all, look. There's a little key in the back. If I wind it up...

0:14:360:14:39

PLAYS TWINKLING TUNE - ...it plays a tune.

0:14:390:14:42

- Sold loads of these. - Yeah?

0:14:420:14:45

Very popular.

0:14:450:14:47

If you want one of these gorgeous, magical windmills,

0:14:470:14:50

I suggest you call us right now.

0:14:500:14:51

Seriously, don't put it off.

0:14:510:14:53

- So, is this live, then? - No, it's...

0:14:530:14:57

- DONNA: 08081 570 570. - How can it be live if I'm sitting here?

0:14:570:15:01

No. Well, yeah, that's a...that's a fair point. That's what I thought.

0:15:010:15:05

Only she just said you've got to call now.

0:15:050:15:07

It's a recording. I recorded it, hm?

0:15:070:15:11

So I could watch it. That's why I'm watching it now.

0:15:120:15:16

So I can see what it's like.

0:15:160:15:19

Yeah.

0:15:190:15:21

'...little stable door and there's a bucket by the door, which is, er...'

0:15:210:15:24

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

0:15:380:15:41

- Everything all right? - I have seen you on Bargain Channel.

0:15:520:15:55

Have you? Oh, good.

0:15:550:15:56

- With Donna. - That's right.

0:15:560:15:58

- Because Daryl is in holiday. - Yeah, on holiday.

0:15:580:16:01

I like to watch Bargain Channel with my sister Agatha.

0:16:010:16:03

Do you? Good for you.

0:16:030:16:06

And...and my mother, she likes Bargain Channel.

0:16:060:16:09

Your mother? Do they have Bargain Channel in...

0:16:090:16:13

Oh, no, they don't, but Agatha is sending videos.

0:16:130:16:16

- Oh, she videos it, does she? - Yes.

0:16:160:16:18

My mother likes to watch because they do not have nice shops to look at.

0:16:180:16:21

- No, I don't think they do, do they? - Also my aunt Gavrilka.

0:16:210:16:24

- She likes to watch. - Gavrilka?

0:16:240:16:26

She has one leg short, so she must wear special shoe.

0:16:260:16:29

- Really? - My mother will be so happy

0:16:290:16:31

I am working for man who does Bargain Channel.

0:16:310:16:33

Good, good. So your aunt with the funny...

0:16:330:16:35

- How did she...? - Oh, um...she was...

0:16:350:16:39

- Um...er... - Oh, it was a car accident?

0:16:390:16:41

- Tractor. - Tractor.

0:16:410:16:43

- Mm, I like you in this show. - Oh, thanks, Magda.

0:16:430:16:46

- You're very good, I think. - It's just something I've been able...

0:16:460:16:50

Cos you're not funny.

0:16:500:16:53

- Anyway, I'd better not be late. - Oh, you can get duster?

0:16:530:16:55

- What? - Duster from space.

0:16:550:16:57

Oh, the NASA duster. Yeah, yeah, they're not really from...

0:16:570:17:02

I'll see what I can do.

0:17:020:17:04

- Rick? - What are you doing here?

0:17:080:17:10

- I'm here cos we need to talk. - Well, I'm on in a minute.

0:17:100:17:12

- I've taken on another writing job. - Oh. Don't tell me, Dan Arrow-Smith.

0:17:120:17:16

No, he writes all his own stuff.

0:17:160:17:18

- Oh, so you made enquiries. - It's a producer friend of mine, Steve Broaden.

0:17:180:17:22

- So that's what all these secret phone calls have been about.

0:17:220:17:24

Hello, Steve. Three bags full, Steve.

0:17:240:17:26

You don't need a writer, not on the Bargain Channel.

0:17:260:17:29

You're wrong. I put quite a few jokes in.

0:17:290:17:31

- No, you don't. - If you'd watch the show...

0:17:310:17:33

I did. I watched it yesterday.

0:17:330:17:34

- Oh, dear. - You're just selling stuff.

0:17:340:17:36

It's like a shop window, and you're the dummy.

0:17:360:17:39

Yeah, the point is, now I've got my foot in the door,

0:17:400:17:42

I'm gonna start putting funny stuff in.

0:17:420:17:44

- Sure you are. - Yes. That's what I was planning to do today.

0:17:440:17:47

Come into the studio. Watch me.

0:17:470:17:49

- I'll show you. - No, I've got stuff I gotta do.

0:17:490:17:51

- Come in and watch! - No.

0:17:510:17:52

- Just half an hour. - No, really.

0:17:520:17:54

Come on, it'll be fun.

0:17:540:17:56

08081 570 570.

0:17:560:17:59

And I would call now, if I were you, cos these are selling like hot cakes.

0:17:590:18:02

They're very attractive as well.

0:18:020:18:04

They are, and the great thing about the colour white is that it doesn't clash with anything.

0:18:040:18:07

As I say, more importantly, these mattress covers are completely waterproof.

0:18:070:18:11

Now take a look at this.

0:18:110:18:14

This is tea, obviously.

0:18:140:18:17

Just do that.

0:18:170:18:18

And lift up the sheet. There's your mattress cover, there.

0:18:180:18:23

Underneath, there's your mattress completely dry.

0:18:230:18:27

Look at that!

0:18:270:18:29

That is a miracle. Not one, but two mattress covers in each set.

0:18:290:18:32

You won't get cheaper than that elsewhere, I guarantee, not this quality.

0:18:320:18:37

That's 08081 570 570. Call us now.

0:18:370:18:41

I might get one of these for my bed.

0:18:410:18:42

Oh, why don't you, Rick?

0:18:420:18:43

Might be handy when I've been on a session.

0:18:430:18:45

LAUGHTER - They know what I'm talking about.

0:18:450:18:49

You wake up in the middle of the night...

0:18:490:18:51

- They come in king-size... - ..ten pints...

0:18:510:18:53

- ..standard double... - ..room spinning.

0:18:530:18:55

- Polyester-cotton mix. - Will I make it? Bleurgh!

0:18:550:18:57

LAUGHTER

0:18:570:18:59

There's also a pillow set I'd love to tell you about.

0:19:020:19:06

Just thought I'd throw in some jokes.

0:19:080:19:09

Don't. People don't want to hear about you pissing the bed and throwing up.

0:19:090:19:13

I didn't say anything about pissing the bed.

0:19:130:19:15

And then the umbrella section. Why mention people eating dogs?

0:19:150:19:18

Well, because they're made in Korea.

0:19:180:19:20

- I know. - All I said was,

0:19:200:19:21

"If it's raining cats and dogs, that should make a handy snack for them."

0:19:210:19:25

That's not racist.

0:19:250:19:26

- I don't give a toss if it was racist. - Well, it isn't.

0:19:260:19:28

I care about our Korean suppliers getting the hump cos they think you're insulting them.

0:19:280:19:32

It's just that my umbrella wouldn't open so I had to improvise.

0:19:320:19:35

Anyway, they do eat dogs.

0:19:350:19:37

Rick, you're good at this job.

0:19:370:19:39

You've been doing great up till now. Just cut the jokes.

0:19:390:19:42

Well, to be fair, you book a comedian, you've got to expect some jokes.

0:19:420:19:48

I'll be honest with you. When we booked you, we had no idea you were a comedian.

0:19:480:19:51

- Yeah, right! - No, seriously.

0:19:510:19:53

It's not like you're Dan Arrow-Smith or someone.

0:19:530:19:55

All his stuff's written for him, you know that?

0:19:560:19:58

Look, Rick, I'm not being funny, but we liked you because you look...anonymous.

0:19:580:20:04

Mr Nobody from next door.

0:20:040:20:06

Someone who's not gonna upstage the waterproof mattress covers.

0:20:060:20:09

- That is how I'm playing it. - Point is you're not a threat to anyone.

0:20:090:20:13

No-one's gonna sit there saying, "Oh, I wish I was him."

0:20:130:20:16

I don't know about that.

0:20:160:20:18

That's how it works at the Bargain Channel.

0:20:180:20:20

The female presenter's the attractive, sexy one,

0:20:200:20:23

and the bloke's a sort of...trustworthy twat, yeah?

0:20:230:20:28

Thank you.

0:20:290:20:32

Because I'm a trustworthy person.

0:20:320:20:33

That's what he said.

0:20:330:20:34

I have the right looks. He said I'm doing really well.

0:20:340:20:37

- You are. I saw a bit at work. - Oh, yeah? Which bit?

0:20:370:20:40

Um...you were selling this bag thingy and you attach a vacuum.

0:20:400:20:44

The Sentinel Storage And Packing Solution. Really good.

0:20:440:20:46

If you order this week, you get an additional winter-wear storage bag free.

0:20:460:20:50

I... I don't want one. I'm just saying I thought you seemed on good form.

0:20:500:20:53

I am, I am. I found something I'm good at. You know, something else.

0:20:530:20:57

It's a shame Daryl's having to come back from holiday.

0:20:570:20:59

- There'll be other opportunities. - Not as good as this.

0:20:590:21:02

It's a really popular show. Magda loves it.

0:21:020:21:04

Her sister videos it, sends it to their mother.

0:21:040:21:07

RICK CHUCKLES - Well, there you go.

0:21:070:21:09

- Mm. This is really nice wine. - Oh, yeah.

0:21:090:21:12

Dan sent me a case just as a sort of thank you.

0:21:120:21:16

You know Magda's aunt's got one leg much shorter than the other?

0:21:160:21:19

She has to go around wearing one of those massive shoes.

0:21:190:21:23

0:22:130:22:14

Please do join us again tomorrow, same time, same place.

0:22:140:22:18

Yep, see you then.

0:22:180:22:19

Bye.

0:22:190:22:21

Rick, can I have a word?

0:22:230:22:26

Yeah.

0:22:260:22:28

Mel. Mel. Wake up.

0:22:330:22:36

Wake up.

0:22:360:22:38

- Where have you been? - I've been in talks.

0:22:390:22:41

Talks?

0:22:410:22:42

- I couldn't say anything on the phone. It's all kicked off at the Bargain Channel.

0:22:420:22:46

Sorry, what are you on about?

0:22:460:22:48

- Daryl's dead. - Dead?!

0:22:480:22:51

- Yes. - That's terrible.

0:22:510:22:52

I know. Poor bloke, it's awful.

0:22:520:22:56

Anyway, they've asked me to stay on to do Lucky Dip full time.

0:22:560:22:59

- Right. - I said I would.

0:22:590:23:01

- That's good of you. - That's what Daryl would have wanted.

0:23:010:23:03

Apart from wanting not to be dead, of course.

0:23:050:23:07

Poor bloke. It's very upsetting, and Magda's gonna be devastated.

0:23:070:23:10

I'll have to break it to her tomorrow.

0:23:100:23:12

So how did he die?

0:23:120:23:14

Well, it's bizarre. He was on holiday in Las Vegas, in one of these casino places.

0:23:140:23:18

Apparently they keep bringing free food round so you keep gambling,

0:23:180:23:21

and what happened is...

0:23:210:23:22

Oh, Magda.

0:23:250:23:27

- This is good. - Is it? Good.

0:23:270:23:30

That's probably enough anyway.

0:23:300:23:33

Magda, er...

0:23:350:23:37

I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

0:23:370:23:39

Yes?

0:23:410:23:43

Yes, it's about Daryl.

0:23:430:23:44

- From Bargain Channel? - Daryl from the Bargain Channel, yes.

0:23:440:23:48

What is?

0:23:480:23:49

I'm afraid he's died.

0:23:490:23:51

- No. - Yes. Yes, Daryl has died.

0:23:550:23:59

- But Daryl is in holiday. - Yeah, on holiday.

0:23:590:24:03

Yeah, you can die on holiday, and, um...that's what he did.

0:24:030:24:07

Oh.

0:24:070:24:10

- My mother. - She'll be very upset. Yes, I know.

0:24:100:24:12

- And my sister. - Mm-hm, and your aunt with the...

0:24:120:24:15

- Gavrilka. - Yeah.

0:24:150:24:18

But how has he died?

0:24:180:24:21

I'm afraid he choked on a canape.

0:24:210:24:24

- No! - Sadly, yes, yes.

0:24:240:24:27

- This is dreadful. - Isn't it?

0:24:270:24:29

- This is terrible news. - I know.

0:24:290:24:31

- It's tragedy. - Mm.

0:24:310:24:33

What is canape?

0:24:330:24:35

Well, it's like a snack you have with drinks.

0:24:350:24:38

You know, smoked salmon on a little bit of toast.

0:24:380:24:40

He has died of smoke salmon?

0:24:400:24:42

Yeah, or pate, it could have been. A vol-au-vent, sausage roll.

0:24:420:24:46

Sometimes it's just a bit of cheese and pineapple.

0:24:460:24:49

Anyway, the point is he... he managed to choke on it.

0:24:490:24:53

- Oh. - Um...

0:24:530:24:56

- I will miss Daryl. - Yeah. Yeah, we all will.

0:24:560:25:00

SHE SIGHS

0:25:020:25:05

So I'll be taking over on Lucky Dip.

0:25:050:25:08

So you can tell your mother and your sister and, er...you know...

0:25:080:25:12

that I will be on that.

0:25:120:25:14

Yeah, Magda, I really do think that that has had enough water.

0:25:140:25:17

We don't want that to die as well,

0:25:170:25:19

- do we? - No.

0:25:190:25:21

Once again, we would like to say a very big thank you

0:25:270:25:30

to those of you who have been kind enough to send us messages of condolence.

0:25:300:25:34

It's been a great source of comfort to us at this very difficult time, so thank you.

0:25:340:25:39

Yes, now, we've been thinking about how Daryl would most liked to be remembered

0:25:390:25:43

and we're very proud to announce

0:25:430:25:45

that Bargain Channel viewers will have the exclusive opportunity

0:25:450:25:49

to purchase this special commemorative plate.

0:25:490:25:52

Yes, it's inscribed, really rather beautifully,

0:26:340:26:38

- Yeah, I've decided not to do gags. - Oh, the producer didn't like them.

0:26:380:26:41

No, he loved them, but now I'm doing it full time...

0:27:050:27:07

- You all right? - No, I have bought plate of Daryl...

0:27:070:27:10

Oh, yeah. It's a special commemorative plate we're doing.

0:27:100:27:12

- ...for Agatha. - For those who wish to remember him. - Nice touch.

0:27:120:27:16

She has put in dishwasher, and, look,

0:27:160:27:18

he has come out like Princess Diana.

0:27:180:27:21

HE TUTS Yeah, I think it does say not to put it in a dishwasher.

0:27:270:27:30

- Now we know why. - I must have money back.

0:27:300:27:31

- That's not really my department. - But you sold to me.

0:27:310:27:34

I didn't say put it in a smelting oven.

0:27:340:27:35

- What is smelting oven? - It's an oven for melting rocks in.

0:27:350:27:38

- It's like a dishwasher. - But she has put in dishwasher.

0:27:380:27:41

- What did she do that for? - It was covered all in sausage.

0:27:410:27:43

RICK: Sausages? That's a commemorative plate. That's no way to remember Daryl!

0:27:430:27:47

MAGDA: That's what she does to remember Daryl.

0:27:470:27:49

RICK: How would you like it if someone ate sausages off your face?

0:28:040:28:09

- So when are these awards? - Saturday week.
