THIS PROGRAMME CONTAINS STRONG Hello. Welcome to Mock The Week. I

am Dara O Brian. Joining me this week, sitting in as a replacement

for unwell Andy Pars sons, Josh We start with a round called if

this is the answer what is the question. Which category would you

like? Sport, please. The answer is 736. What is the question? Is it

Tom Daley's bedtime? On which page of your home

insurance does it say they never pay out for anything ever!

How many hours in a row has Clare Balding now been awake for! Is it

the only item at his local take away that Eamonn Holmes hasn't

ordered. That is spring water. How many people have seen Keith Lemon

the movie. Generous. If you saw a spy thaing Russ in concert, name

one of the old numbers he might try and do. -- Pythagoras.

Is it how many Cocoa Pops does Rain Man have for breakfast.

Is it the number of Americans aware of the Paralympics? Is it what

would Emile Heskey's squad number be at Barcelona.

Is it how many energy saving light bulbs do you have to turn on before

you have to turn on an ordinary one. How many calories does the average

man burn off while having a proper think about Jessica Ennis.

APPLAUSE A new phrase, a Proper Think.

Nothing worse than getting caught by your parents having a proper

think. I thought you were studying for your exams, but no you are

having a proper think. When reading the letters page of

the Daily Mail, what year does it feel like it is. Is it the amount

of athletes that took part in the parade this week? Absolutely right.

Thank you very much. APPLAUSE

The question I was looking for is how many Team GB athletes took part

in the Olympics victory parade. 736 athletes celebrating their record-

breaking medal haul. It was made up of 21 floats and featured a fly-

past by the Red Arrows. What else can the Red Arrows do if they don't

fly past. They could walk past in full formation. Everybody loves the

Red Arrows. I went to the Paralympics. It was quite

complicated. I didn't know anything about T the first race I watched

was the - they had those grades, I watched the S 6 swimming. I was

like, they Sid it, I was like the S 6 swimming? That is frowned on to

be from Essex, but it's not a disability!

She is slower because a vajazzle will hatch in the water.

I thought Lord Coe's speech, I find Lord Coe, it is ironic, it sounds

less posh when you call him Lord Coe than when you call him

Sebastian. He's downgraded. hammered home the made in Britain

thing in his speech. It is a stamp of quality. Stamped on this

Olympics. London 2012, made in Britain, I thought it was ironic

when went lock and mannedville toys -- went lock and mannedville toys

were made in China. Do you think they are going to

break into the stadium and sit in silence and sigh. A furry tear.

People say they really enjoyed the Paralympics but I didn't actually

see a ghost. An Olympics in which the javelin appears to throw itself.

I was going to the Paralympics and I had one of those lan yards you

have to have and I went for a Friday up at lunch-time and I sat

there and the guy came over and I said time going to the Paralympics.

He said what are you competing in? Clearly I'm not a Paralympian.

number of just, the shudge roll call of new heroes. Watching

incredible humans, David Rudisha's world breaking run. How does a

human being learn to run 800m that quickly. You find out he was

trained by an Irish frees and you - - Irish priest and you think, yes,

that would do it! Some things don't get medals at all.

I get upset by in the showjumping, that the horses don't get a medal.

You lack at the horse and you think -- you look at the horse you think

mostly the horse is doing most of the work. It is no wonder they

knock other the fences because the horse is thinking, what is in it

for me. "I won't get sports Personality of the Year. They can't

text the number. It is rare they have horse voting. I didn't know

about the steeplechase before. It is now my favourite race on the

track. You go round the track and eventually somebody puts a fence in

your way and you have to leap over it into water and off you go. It is

like the crazy golf of the track. They should completely embrace that.

There should be a windmill that you have to run through and avoid the

sails clashing you, a rotating Boris Johnson head half way down

the track. Mouth opening and closing. I loved the open water

swimming. But I thought it was one of the few events Rio are going to

do better. There is a lot more stuff in the water there. Did you

watch the sailing at any stage. You would be watching there he goes and

then another boat would go across like that. You would think somebody

has lost now. The Paralympic sailing and I thought it was boring

until I realised I was actually watching a repeat of Three Men In A

Boat. APPLAUSE

That hurt! I thought the broadcasting was excellent. I

didn't think the BBC sent people along to events whose knowledge of

the sport, whose act to communicate that knowledge was ever in doubt.

Look at the reaction of the Irish fans. What that signifies. Go on,

two more minutes Katie. Come on. Jesus, the place erupted

APPLAUSE Were you actually sent there by the

BBC or do you just carry a microphone around with you all the

time. He asked me. I had no idea that we were going to be handed

microphones and have cameras pointed at us. He said do you want

to go and see the boxing and I said yes. I don't know anything about

sport. Then there's cameras on us. On TV he goes to me, have you been

following the boxing. No! I haven't been following the boxing! We have

four boxing medals. That is so stereotypical. This is a

disgraceful representation of Ireland.

Well done on your medal on not wearing a coat on your night out.

The points going to Chris, Ed and Josh.

Now we play a round called Daralympics.

This involves Josh Milton and Chris. Make your way over to the

performance area. This is a stand up challenge. The winner who is

whoever is the funniest. Let's spin the wheel. Holidays.

Not very good holidays as it turns out. I bought a tent to go camping

recently. I have not done this before. A two room tent. You get it

home and turns out the two rooms they give you from your house are

the bedroom and the porch. If I was going to take two rooms on holiday

with me, very low on the list would be the porch. I would choose the

bed bedroom and bathroom. If there was no porch in the tent you

wouldn't have an issue. You wouldn't say where am I going to

put my hat stand. I need a porch. I never went on good holidays when I

was a child. My dad was afraid of flying. He said if men should fly

we would have wings. That is what tocknology is for. Helping you do

things you couldn't do otherwise. If you give him a bottle of wine he

he wouldn't say I'm not opening that because I don't have a curly

finger! Next subject please.

Communication. Hello. Communication, now these

days it's the more technologically advanced advanced form of

communication, the more pointless the subject matter is. Things like

twitter, it is not real communication. You would never

tweet someone to inform them of a death in the family. It would be

slightly harsh. Dad's dead hash tag fail. You wouldn't show up at

someone's house unannounced to tell them you had a nice sandwich. The

most pointless communication is U tube comments. Have a look through

U tube comments. It is like scrolling the through the mind of a

psychopath. Go on to U tube, find a video, unremarkable, can't be a

near death experience, it has to be boring and mundane, like a video of

a cat yawning. There are loads of them on there. Go on, underneath

sign in to U tube, comment one word "Fake ". People lose their minds.

How can it be fake. Cats yawn, cats yawn. She was tired. Thank you very

much. That leaves us with Milton. Spin

the wheel. All my family are black and white.

I phoned my dad the other day. He said "You left the room before I

finished speaking, I wanted you to go to Holland & Barrett and get me

tablets." He said "Where are you now ". I said Holland. I always

left the room before my dad finished speaking. He said why

don't you go outside and jump up and down on the trampoline. I

didn't here the oline. My grandfather was a lion whisperer,

just before he died. Hash tag fail. My mother has got to the stage

where all she does is go on about who has just kied. -- died. "do you

remember Muriel? She's just died. Do you remember Arthur? He's just

died." I said said mum get off the APPLAUSE

Next round is called Headliners. Here is a picture of the Mayor of

London with the Prime Minister. What does BACC stand for. Before

and after cosmetics commercial. it saying basically a complete cock.

Is it boring airport conversation continues. Boris saying education

policy is as easy as BACC. Is it Boris just greeting Cameron in his

normal way. Is it Boris describing his life and he is saying birds and

cycling, cracking. I think it's banging all the Conservative chicks.

Is it the start of an alphabetical list of people who benefited most

from the Olympics, Boris and Cocoa- Cola.

Cameron taking one look at Boris and saying you know bar bers bers

accept credit cards. Is it Boris and Cameron collide,

clash? No. At least when Andy is sick he has the decency to not show

up. Is it Boris and Cameron clash? Boris and Cameron clash. Boris

Johnson has declared war on David Cameron over Heathrow Airport's

potential expansion. Johnson labelled Cameron's indecision a

fudge-arama. What would Johnson rather see than

a third runway. Fudge-arama was a game they were forced to play at

public school. He wants another airport in the Thames Estuary. On

the thing which has been called Boris Island. Which is just

fantastic. It sounds like a Jurassic Park, Boriss will hear you

rustling. Somebody has found the DNA of a dead 17th century baron,

suppliesed with a polar bear and brought these horrific creatures

back to life. A piece of rope with no goat on the end of it. The large

Boriss have escaped. They hunt in packs. I didn't realise Heathrow

only had two runways. It has four terminals. I presumed it would have

lots of runways. It has five Wagamamas. The first I read of it,

a headline says Cameron... Goldsmith said he will resign as an

MP if they go ahead with a third runway. What will he do for money.

He doesn't seem commit today a career in politics, because either

way he is not in it for the long haul. I have never heard that, that

is amazing. That was like a cattle market.

How did Cameron do his reshuffle this week? He had a proper think

about it. APPLAUSE

When Cameron did the - Cameron he was drinking a glass of wine at the

time which became swiling, it sounds like a trough. You're fired!

They are try to go imply eenjoyed it, be denied it, but he clearly

had a semi on. That is a great wine joke. That is a white grape. Let's

not get ahead of ourselves. He chose the health ministers who

believes in homeopathy and a Transport Minister who is afraid of

flying. Possibly a Chancellor of the Exchequer who knows knows

nothing about economics. Oh, hang on...

APPLAUSE When it comes to the Cabinet, you

would rather be in opposition, which would you rather be a member

of the cabinet or a member of the Shadow Cabinet?

The Shadow Cabinet sounds like the puppet masters. The Cabinet think

they run the country, but really it is' the shadow cabinet. It makes it

sound cooler than it is, which is a bunch of men who pretend to have a

job which they don't have. I owe you thanks, because you you bought

me a present from your holidays. Have you brought it in? Ed was in

France and bought me a present of a thermometer. You know when you get

a present and you thanks, I really appreciated that. I had no idea why

he had bought me it. Apparently it has a vague resemblance...

APPLAUSE There we go!

APPLAUSE The points go to Chris, Ed and Josh

at the end of that round. Now we come to scenes we would like

to see, if everyone could make their way over to the performance

area. We will see what our panellists can come up with. The

first subject is unlikely complaints to TV channels.

Dear Jim'll Fix It, why aren't you replying to my letters?

Dear Living TV, stop breathing on Dear BBC, I find it extremely

offensive that after each scene we would like to see the host Dara O

Brian appears to emit a loud fart. Dear BBC, why have you given Andy

parsons that ridiculous wig this week?

Dear BBC, I recently saw something on the Antiques Roadshow, I would

like to purchase. How much is Fiona Bruce?

Dear Dragon's Den, I have lost my keys and for that reason, I'm out.

Dear ITV, I just watched Loose Women in high-definition. Please

remove this option. Dear Babe Station, sorry for the

scrawl, I am having to write this with my left hand.

Dear Babe Station, I watched your channel for ten hours now and I

have yet to see a film about a pig working as a sheep dog, however I

shall persevere. Dear Channel 5, I have watched

Celebrity Big Brother. I think it should be renamed Big Brother. 7

Dear BBC, why don't you get Irish comedian Ed Byrne to do a

documentary about ladies' pants. Dear Dave, have you seen Phil,

Dear embarrassing bobbies, I am a man trapped inside a woman's body,

I got mixed up between superglue and lube. Dear BBC, where can I get

one of those blurred number plates you always see on television?

Dear Embarrassing Bodies, I think there may be something wrong with

my penis, I have enclose it had in an envelope for you to have a look

Dear BBC, why have you changed the name of Snog Marry Avoid to three

then in a boat. The next topic is things you

wouldn't hear on a survival show. Not all of us survived. Last

night's tropical fruit juice storm. Five Alive. At last I found some

nuts and berries, I hate it when they rearrange the the aisles at

Asda. There are many threats to the children of the that beaut tu trial,

crocodiles, snakes, Madonna. You do have to improvise some things. I

have been using these leaves for wiping my bottom, which is why I

have been thrown out of the salad bar. And to make this wig wam I

used three poles, because they are good workers and they are cheap.

It was a terrible moment when your fellow mountaineer and says he has

his arm stuck in a craf as and then he turns round and says no, not
