0:00:24 > 0:00:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello and welcome to Mock the Week. I'm Dara O Briain.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Joining me this week are Andy Parsons,

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Simon Evans and Micky Flanagan,

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Chris Addison, Hugh Dennis and Greg Davies.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:53 > 0:00:55We start with a round called Headliners.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Here's a picture of the Lib Dem top brass recently

0:00:58 > 0:00:59but what does CRCT stand for?

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Is it Cable Reaches Centenary Today?

0:01:04 > 0:01:08Cable Remembers Crimea and Trafalgar?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11He's got his finger pointed at Clegg.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Is it Cable Reveals Collaborator, Ta-dah?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Is it Clegg Regrets Couples Therapy?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Is it what happened next?

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Is it Cable Reaches and Caresses Tenderly?

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Is it Cable Resembles Crinkly Testicle?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Could it be...

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Can't Remember Choosing Them?

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Is it Cable Realises Clegg's a Tory?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56I think "tosser" would have got a bigger...

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah! Shall I have a crack at that one?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02You make it political, I'll make it funny.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Does anyone have the correct answer?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Is it Conference Reveals Coalition Tensions?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Exactly. Thank you very much, Andy Parsons.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Yes, the answer I was looking for was Conference Reveals Coalition Tensions.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20This is the news that the Liberal Democrat conference

0:02:20 > 0:02:23has exposed growing tensions within the coalition.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The latest claim comes as the Party's President, Tim Farron,

0:02:25 > 0:02:29says the Lib Dems have become "tainted" by their association with the Conservatives,

0:02:29 > 0:02:32comparing the coalition to a marriage heading for divorce.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Who has come out fighting this week then from the Lib Dems? - They all have, haven't they?- Yeah.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Did you see what the slogan was for the Lib Dem conference?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41"In Government, on your side."

0:02:41 > 0:02:43and I was thinking, surely a better slogan would be,

0:02:43 > 0:02:48"In Government, still can't bloody believe it!"

0:02:48 > 0:02:52It's a very fighting talk kind of conference.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56"We're not the Tories! Oh, we are showing them every day!"

0:02:56 > 0:03:00What they actually said was, "We are blocking Tory laws every day."

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Like they're ninjas and things are being flung at them!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08There's going to be the biggest divorce since Paul McCartney dumped Heather Mills.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Although, unlike the Tories,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Heather Mills does lean slightly to the left.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21The tragedy of it is though, it's on the telly, isn't it?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23And these are a party in power,

0:03:23 > 0:03:26they're sharing government and the conference is on.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29And when you turn on the conference you don't think,

0:03:29 > 0:03:31"Ah, look, I really must listen to all these arguments."

0:03:31 > 0:03:35You think, "What have they done with Diagnosis Murder?"

0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's the language the press choose to report it in that's amazing.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46The Daily Mail always choose words to make the Liberals look more ridiculous than they actually are.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50They said that the Liberals were threatening to "flounce out" of Government.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52"Come on Vince, get your red box, we're leaving.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56"Talk to the hand, the legislative agenda ain't listening."

0:04:01 > 0:04:04And they said, "We're punching above our weight."

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Where I come from that's a really bad thing.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09"Oh, you're punching above your weight a bit, aren't you?"

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Yeah. In my town, you're punching above your weight if your wife hasn't got a beard.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17What proposal has Energy Secretary Chris Huhne announced this week?

0:04:17 > 0:04:22He's going to try and force energy companies to reduce prices.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Something about... He is, yeah.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26He thinks people aren't getting the competition they deserve.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30The problem there is that people don't understand "energy supplier".

0:04:30 > 0:04:32The phrase. Particularly teenagers and stuff.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34You say, "Have you switched your energy suppliers?"

0:04:34 > 0:04:38And they probably go, "Like I was on Lucozade and now I'm on Relentless!"

0:04:44 > 0:04:49That is the voice of young Britain right there.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm, in fact, on Economy 7.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55And that's supposed to save you money because the idea is that you do things overnight

0:04:55 > 0:04:58but I'm not sure that it does actually save you money

0:04:58 > 0:05:00because you tend to put the washing machine to go on overnight

0:05:00 > 0:05:02and then you actually forget that you've put it on.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05two days later you go back to the washing machine,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09smell the clothes and go, "I'd better put those on again!"

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Is Economy 7 saving you money so long as you're using it in 1986?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Not that I'm aware of!

0:05:18 > 0:05:22I would say to you, Andy, that cook, cook, cookability is the beauty of gas.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28If you want to save energy, Andy, you want to fit the best. Fit Everest!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31It's called Economy 7.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I've got something to say to you.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36# Boom boom boom boom Esso Blue. #

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Leave him, don't take the piss out of him, he's got a tiger in his tank.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I don't get any of these jokes!

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Because I grew up in Ireland, I don't get any of these jokes.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51How about, "fiddle de dee, have coal!"

0:05:51 > 0:05:55That wasn't a popular ad in Ireland, thank you very much.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56It would make things a lot easier

0:05:56 > 0:06:00if there was an actual difference when you switched supplier.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03If they went, "I've gone from EDF to British Gas and now, I don't know,

0:06:03 > 0:06:05it looks a bit French, or something.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Do you know what I mean? If it had something about it,

0:06:08 > 0:06:12it wasn't patently exactly the same gas and not just a different bill.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14You think the gas should come out a different colour?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yes! Or shape or something.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oh, I like this! This is new, ooh!

0:06:22 > 0:06:24# Dun, dun, dun, dun, du-rah! #

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Every so often a son et lumiere show would go on.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31My father is convinced that since they switched

0:06:31 > 0:06:35to a French-owned electricity company

0:06:35 > 0:06:38that it's coming through slower, he is sure of it.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Does he think it's kinda coming, in a kind of French...

0:06:42 > 0:06:44"Bah! I'll be there in a minute,

0:06:44 > 0:06:48"why are you so desperate to have a cup of tea over there?"

0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'm still distressed to find out

0:06:50 > 0:06:53that my Economy 7 only existed back in the 1980s.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59In other news, what's going on here?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03"Here's Louis with the over 25s."

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Is it the eight stickers I need

0:07:08 > 0:07:11to complete my Panini Amish sticker album?

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Got it, got it, got it!

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Are they the victims of a ninth man

0:07:18 > 0:07:20who has been gluing people to rulers?

0:07:22 > 0:07:27This is a campaign against selling Stella Artois.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29These are the women you end up sleeping with.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Or, in fact, these are the replies

0:07:36 > 0:07:39that convinced me to cancel my subscription on match.com.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45The bloke on the top right definitely used to have his head slapped by Benny Hill.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53I know, it's a poster for the new movie The Unusual Suspects.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56They are all Amish,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59in Kentucky they have been jailed for non-payment of fines

0:07:59 > 0:08:02after they refused to put reflective safety signs

0:08:02 > 0:08:05on their horse-drawn buggies because they're too modern.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10It wasn't one of the better University Challenge episodes.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Amish University A versus Amish University B.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Sorry, I do love the idea of it being University Challenge.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21And the scores remain zero

0:08:21 > 0:08:24because neither Amish team wishes to use the buzzer.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30He looks so much guiltier, that bloke in the top right,

0:08:30 > 0:08:32than all the others, doesn't he?

0:08:32 > 0:08:36It's like Father Christmas has been hanging out with the wrong people.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Room for one more? Yeah, let's have a close up of one more.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Ha-ha-ha-ha(!)

0:08:46 > 0:08:52You had this up your sleeve, how I would look as an Amish.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55You look like a young Ken Clarke.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00Are you sure it's not an advert for Regaine hair foam?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04It'd be a warning ad. "I smeared it here and it came out here!"

0:09:04 > 0:09:06OK, at the end of that round

0:09:06 > 0:09:08the points go to Chris, Hugh and Greg.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Now we play a round called Tinker Tailor Soldier Stand Up.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19This game involves Simon, Greg and Micky.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21So, if you could make your way to the performance area, please.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25This round is a stand up challenge. I launch the wheel of news and wherever it chooses to stop,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27one of our performers must step forward and talk about that subject.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30The winner is whoever I think is the funniest. OK, here we go.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Let's spin the wheel.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35The first subject is fatherhood. Who wants to come in on that?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Greg.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45My father has taken fatherhood in a very strange direction

0:09:45 > 0:09:47in the last few years,

0:09:47 > 0:09:49and it started about three years ago at Christmas

0:09:49 > 0:09:51when he announced to me, and this is a quote,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54and all of what I'm about to tell you is entirely real, it happened.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57He said to me, "Son, I'm 72."

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I said, "I'm aware of that."

0:09:59 > 0:10:04"I've decided from now on I should start behaving exactly as I see fit."

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I said, "I would welcome that." He said, "I'm glad you agree

0:10:07 > 0:10:10"because when you come home for Christmas you will discover this year

0:10:10 > 0:10:13"that I am wearing a Christmas outfit."

0:10:13 > 0:10:15I went, "All right then."

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I got home and true to his word he was wearing a Christmas outfit.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22I swear to you it was one giant pair of white underpants that stretched

0:10:22 > 0:10:26from his knees to just below his nipples,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29with a novelty Santa hat with a flashing bulb on the end.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32And he came downstairs, and this is a quote, "Do you like?"

0:10:35 > 0:10:36I said, "I find it a bit challenging."

0:10:36 > 0:10:38He said, "I don't give a shit what you think."

0:10:38 > 0:10:40And he went off to eat some cheese.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42This is where it gets weird.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I went out that night with some of the people in my home town.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Midnight, anticipating me coming home,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50my mother tells me he did this -

0:10:50 > 0:10:53he went upstairs in his "panta" outfit...

0:10:56 > 0:11:00..he went to my mother's sheet drawer, for she has one,

0:11:00 > 0:11:02he took out a double white sheet,

0:11:02 > 0:11:03he placed that over his head,

0:11:03 > 0:11:08he went out into their garden and he hid in a bush

0:11:08 > 0:11:11with a view to giving me,

0:11:11 > 0:11:15his then 40-year-old son, "a bit of a scare."

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Presumably, my mother is so sick of his shit she decided not to tell him

0:11:19 > 0:11:21something that she full well knew,

0:11:21 > 0:11:24that on that occasion I stayed over at a friend's house.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Well done. OK, let's spin the wheel again.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39And the next subject is "class". Who's wants to come in on that?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Er, class, yes, this is a society...

0:11:42 > 0:11:44our country is a society riven by class.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48I was very much aware of this when I lived in Brixton for many years...

0:11:48 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER ..yeah, exactly.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54So, seriously, the streets of Brixton are littered with homeless people,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57vagrants, derelicts of one kind or another,

0:11:57 > 0:12:01it's very distressing if you're trying to pursue a middle class path

0:12:01 > 0:12:06and, you know, I could blinker myself to them

0:12:06 > 0:12:07when I was a young man,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10but when I had children it became more difficult.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15We had a three-wheeler, we could get over most of them, but it slows you down.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17And it would puzzle me why they were there, to be honest.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Homelessness is very sad but if you're homeless, why would you choose to stay in Brixton?

0:12:21 > 0:12:25The one advantage of being homeless is you can choose where you live.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26You can be in the countryside.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29A couple of vouchers out of the Daily Mail

0:12:29 > 0:12:33and you could be in the South of France by the weekend.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Pick up some cheap booze on the ferry, they like a drink, the homeless, as a rule.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40I don't want to tar them all with the same brush

0:12:40 > 0:12:43although if you sleep on the road, that will happen, sooner or later.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I do think it's a bit ironic that the favourite drink of the homeless

0:12:52 > 0:12:53should be a beer called Tennent's!

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Micky, let's see what you've been left with. Let's spin the wheel.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06And the subject is "fashion".

0:13:06 > 0:13:09LAUGHTER

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Now, I'll tell you about fashion.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Now...a few years ago I was looking for a new image,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24so I started going on stage like this,

0:13:24 > 0:13:27thinking that will create an image for me, they'll go,

0:13:27 > 0:13:30"You've seen the geezer, stunning looking, top button done up."

0:13:31 > 0:13:35But I subsequently found out the image this tends to create

0:13:35 > 0:13:36is you're a wanker.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40So I looked into the whole issue of it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43And I'll tell you the situation with the shirt button, OK.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48So because people don't want to be thought of like that, they tend to undo their top button.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50There we go. That's better, isn't it?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Not enough? Still a bit too high?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54There's still a bit of tension in the room.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57What you really want is one more.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Watch.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03See that, it's palpable, innit?

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Everyone's going, "Whoa, thank God for that!"

0:14:07 > 0:14:09That is the level of buttonage we require

0:14:09 > 0:14:12for a man going out for the evening to the All Bar One.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Very good. However...

0:14:19 > 0:14:21..if I go one more...

0:14:23 > 0:14:26..I'm suddenly back to being an arsehole again.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38How tough is it being a man knowing that you are going through life

0:14:38 > 0:14:39only ever one button away...

0:14:41 > 0:14:45..from being a wanker or an arsehole?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Very good. The points there go to Simon and Micky.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Our next round is called If This is the Answer, What is the Question?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Six categories. Simon, which category would you like?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07World News.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, the category is World News.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11And the answer is 328 billion.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13What is the question?

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Is it, measured in pounds, how fat is yo mama?

0:15:18 > 0:15:25How many items do you get free if you buy one at Lidl?

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Is it, how many trailers have there been for Downton Abbey?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Is it, according to the Daily Mail how many travellers are there at Dale Farm?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Is it, how many press-ups would I have to do

0:15:46 > 0:15:49to fit into one of Chris Addison's shirts?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52You would have to do more than that, big fella!

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Is it, how many troops does President Gaddafi claim are still loyal to him?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Is it, the number of pieces you get in a box

0:16:00 > 0:16:01when you buy a wardrobe from IKEA?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Is it, how many points does Silvio Berlusconi have

0:16:10 > 0:16:13on his brothel Nectar card?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Is it in fact, how many missed calls from Zara

0:16:16 > 0:16:19were on Mike Tindall's answer phone?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Is it, what is the total debt now in euros

0:16:27 > 0:16:30that Greece owes the rest of us?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32That is right, thank you very much, Chris Addison.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Yes, the question I was looking for

0:16:37 > 0:16:40is, what is the total debt faced by Greece?

0:16:40 > 0:16:41This is the news that Greece

0:16:41 > 0:16:44is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Eurozone finance ministers are in disagreement

0:16:48 > 0:16:50about how to bail out the Greece economy.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52What progress is it making?

0:16:52 > 0:16:56They have given the telly back to Bright House.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57It is bad news.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- They owe 250 grand each. - Apparently, yeah.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01But it is bad news.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Imagine how bad donner kebabs are going to taste

0:17:04 > 0:17:08when they start putting REALLY cheap meat in them?!

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Given the products they are most famous for,

0:17:12 > 0:17:14they are particularly worried about a double-dip recession.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I feel really sorry for the guy who has been charged

0:17:20 > 0:17:23with the job of putting all the plates back together.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27They can't afford to keep breaking them

0:17:27 > 0:17:30so he's been asked to glue them back together again.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35It's all rubber plates now. Duh, duh, duh, duh, boing! Hey!

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- I'm not an economist, but they... - Are you not?

0:17:40 > 0:17:44They shouldn't have got rid of the drachma! They've kept their own yoghurt, haven't they?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51They weren't meant to have that level of debt to join the EU in the first place.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53It was meant to be a much lower level of debt.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56But they hid all their deficits from the rest of Europe,

0:17:56 > 0:17:58in a giant wooden horse!

0:18:07 > 0:18:11What's making it worse is they are continuing to spend, that is the problem.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15European finance ministers are saying they have to do some belt-tightening.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19They can't do belt-tightening. They wear togas. They would look like they were in Howard's Way!

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Not only are they spending, they are also not paying any tax, any tax at all.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Corinth, the authorities have collected... The amount of euros

0:18:30 > 0:18:34collected in the entire city in the last six months is £18,000.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38According to the people claiming that, there are 12 million people,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42only 5,000 of them make more than 90 grand a year, they are claiming.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Nobody is admitting to anything. They are all just going, "We are not paying tax."

0:18:46 > 0:18:49That is why the Germans are saying, "We gave you the money.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53"But are you going to pay the tax?"

0:18:53 > 0:18:57And they're going, "Yeah, no problem, da, da, da!

0:19:00 > 0:19:01"What was that?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04"Nothing! Nothing!

0:19:04 > 0:19:07"We are just on the way to pay our tax now.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10"My cousin has the envelope, bye.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12"Da, da, da. Ba-doing!"

0:19:15 > 0:19:18It is not strictly relevant, I went out with a Greek girl once.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I can't imagine how this wouldn't be relevant to a discussion of their economy.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Did you not have much money, Greg?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'm just throwing it in.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I was in a lift once in Greece, and this man turned to me,

0:19:29 > 0:19:32and he went, "Are you sometimes gay?"

0:19:34 > 0:19:36He is giving you a way out there?

0:19:36 > 0:19:40It went really quiet, and he went, "Are you sometimes gay?"

0:19:40 > 0:19:44I went, "No, never really, no." He went, "OK."

0:19:46 > 0:19:50OK. In other news, who has been granted a last minute injunction?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- The travellers. At Dale Farm.- Yes.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55There is an irony in the fact

0:19:55 > 0:19:58the travellers don't want to go anywhere.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07It is a term, it is just a term.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Let's face it, bouncers don't actually bounce!

0:20:12 > 0:20:16If they did, when I jokingly pushed one over recently,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19I wouldn't have spent the night in hospital.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23You would be disappointed when you went to that swingers' party.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27One of the women said, "Putting a traveller in a house

0:20:27 > 0:20:31"is like putting a traveller in a prison."

0:20:31 > 0:20:33But yet they are building them.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36You could put a traveller in a lodge!

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What is that character? - It's Jeanette!

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Sounds like one of the Terrahawks!

0:20:42 > 0:20:44CACKLES

0:20:44 > 0:20:46"Leave me alone!"

0:20:48 > 0:20:50They are always claiming this...

0:20:50 > 0:20:53So many different countries covered with that accent, as well!

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Welsh, French!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57CACKLES

0:20:57 > 0:21:00"I'll get you Smurfs!"

0:21:02 > 0:21:04When I first heard about it, I thought, "I really hate travellers."

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Then I realised it is the Irish travellers,

0:21:07 > 0:21:11not those twats who go around the world for a year after university!

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'd love to see the bailiffs going after them!

0:21:15 > 0:21:20"No, you will never take my dreamcatcher away from me."

0:21:20 > 0:21:23It is not a dreamcatcher, it is string."

0:21:23 > 0:21:28It would be a disappointing gap-year if you end up in Basildon!

0:21:33 > 0:21:36That is why the people of Basildon are so upset,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39they are sick and tired of these posh people moving into the area.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Who else came out in support of them?- Loads of people.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50There were two bishops and an actress turning up to a caravan site.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54I was hoping for some low-budget '70s porn.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Then Gloria Hunniford, who it turns out wasn't there in support,

0:21:58 > 0:22:02she was there for her new show, Wish They Weren't Here!

0:22:06 > 0:22:11The arrival of the bailiffs was one of the biggest anticlimaxes ever.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15There were 30 of them and they had one 1970s loud-hailer

0:22:15 > 0:22:20and the lead bailiff went, "Is there anything I can say

0:22:20 > 0:22:23"to persuade you to leave?"

0:22:23 > 0:22:25There was a Life of Brian pause.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30"Speak up.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34"Is there anything I can say to persuade you to leave?"

0:22:34 > 0:22:37There was another pause, and this woman went, "Fuck off!"

0:22:37 > 0:22:38It was amazing!

0:22:38 > 0:22:43She went, "I'll put a curse on you. I'll put a curse on you!"

0:22:43 > 0:22:45They're always giving it the curses!

0:22:45 > 0:22:49The minute it kicks off, "I'll put a curse on you!"

0:22:49 > 0:22:52THEY CACKLE OVER EACH OTHER

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Everybody watching this has got their remote control, going,

0:22:56 > 0:22:58"There's something wrong with the sound."

0:22:58 > 0:23:02OK, at the end of that round, the points go to Chris, Hugh and Greg!

0:23:02 > 0:23:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:08 > 0:23:12OK, now we come to Scenes We Would Like To See.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15If everyone could make their way to the performance area, please.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18I will read this week's topics and we'll see what our panellists come up with.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20OK, here we go.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25The first subject is unlikely things to hear in a police station.

0:23:28 > 0:23:33Here, the microwave has broken again, Taser that meat pie for me, will you?

0:23:38 > 0:23:39I know it is unlikely,

0:23:39 > 0:23:43I don't suppose anybody has handed in Colonel Gaddafi, have they?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49I noticed the burglar making his escape.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53At this moment, I cursed the police cutbacks

0:23:53 > 0:23:57and gave chase, shouting, "Nee-nah, nee-nah."

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- CAMP VOICE: - All units be on the lookout for a purple Renault Clio.

0:24:03 > 0:24:09Registration number, Saffron, Doily, Tutu, Bonjela, Chrysanthemum, Hiya!

0:24:13 > 0:24:15We didn't manage to evict many of them, Sarge.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17But he good news is, I got some lucky heather.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24No, I have not come to report a crime,

0:24:24 > 0:24:26it is just that I really miss The Bill,

0:24:26 > 0:24:28so I thought I would pop in for an hour.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Sarge, pass us the art section out of the Guardian, will you, mate?

0:24:39 > 0:24:43FOREIGN ACCENT: Yes, I know how identity parade works.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45That's her!

0:24:45 > 0:24:48That's her!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50That's the woman I robbed!

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Right, we have a new man starting.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00He is half-man, half horse, it is Inspector Morse!

0:25:05 > 0:25:10Yes, our new 50-inch plasma screen TV. It is rather nice.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13If you can't beat them, eh?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19I am charging you with the murder of Mrs Thompson.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21That will be £7.19, please.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Right, listen up, there is a giant fly attacking the station.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30I have called the SWAT team!

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Thank God you've arrived, officer,

0:25:38 > 0:25:44some bloke jumped into the boot of my car and shot himself 14 times.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49We got the tox report back.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52They go straight after the ticks!

0:25:55 > 0:25:57I was about to arrest her, but my bottle went

0:25:57 > 0:26:01because she shouted out, "I'll put a curse upon you."

0:26:05 > 0:26:08OK.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12The next topic is unlikely things to hear in a science documentary.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Having cloned Ian Wright

0:26:14 > 0:26:18we now know two Ian Wrights don't make an Ian Wrong!

0:26:21 > 0:26:25Erectile dysfunction. Physical problem?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Or has the wife just let herself go a bit?

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Well, this is incredible,

0:26:34 > 0:26:38this is a whole new species of miniature tiger.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Hang on, it's a cat!

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Now, pay attention, here comes the shampoo bit.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53We discovered the source of the quark.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56It's the sound made by a posh duck.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03This is a red dwarf.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06His name is Antony Worrell-Thompson.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Welcome to the Sky at Night.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17If we look out... Oh, hell, Croydon's on fire.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Despite getting a bad press,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24biological weapons work at much lower temperatures

0:27:24 > 0:27:26than non-biological weapons.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Without penicillin,

0:27:32 > 0:27:36well, I would still be cursing that day I went to Bangkok!

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Tonight we look at the Ginger community.

0:27:48 > 0:27:49Physical anomaly

0:27:49 > 0:27:51or God's cruel joke?

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Ah, the Northern Lights.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Oh, no, Manchester's on fire!

0:28:08 > 0:28:10But will they find a cure in time?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12The last hope for mankind

0:28:12 > 0:28:15lies with scientists here at the Laboratoire Garnier.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Tonight, on Show Me The Evidence,

0:28:23 > 0:28:26we look at the traveller community.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Can they really put a curse on you?

0:28:37 > 0:28:40As the sperm swim towards the eggs,

0:28:40 > 0:28:44it is hard not to think that I've ruined this fried breakfast!

0:28:56 > 0:29:00I'm never again going to have a fried breakfast!

0:29:03 > 0:29:07OK, at the end of that, Micky, Simon and Andy get the points.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:29:13 > 0:29:15And that's the end of the show.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17This week's winners are Andy Parsons,

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Simon Evans and Micky Flanagan.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Commiserations to Chris Addison, Hugh Dennis and Greg Davies.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34Thank you for watching. I'm Dara O Briain. Goodnight.
