CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, and welcome to Mock The Week.

0:00:340:00:36

I'm Dara O Briain. Joining me this week are Nish Kumar,

0:00:360:00:39

Tiff Stevenson and Ed Byrne,

0:00:390:00:40

Rhys James, Hugh Dennis and Tom Allen.

0:00:400:00:43

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:430:00:45

We start with a round called Picture of the Week.

0:00:500:00:53

I show the panel a topical image

0:00:530:00:54

and ask them to tell me what's happening.

0:00:540:00:56

So, what's going on here?

0:00:560:00:58

I can tell you exactly what that is.

0:00:580:01:00

That's the bloke who runs America - talking to President Trump.

0:01:000:01:04

LAUGHTER

0:01:040:01:06

Is Trump saying, "No, I said you gave me an ELECTION!"

0:01:070:01:11

Is Trump saying, "I genuinely thought you and the meerkat

0:01:140:01:18

"were the same guy"?

0:01:180:01:20

LAUGHTER

0:01:200:01:22

I can't imagine the conversation is going very well

0:01:220:01:24

because Vladimir Putin doesn't speak very good English

0:01:240:01:26

and Donald Trump also doesn't speak very good English.

0:01:260:01:29

LAUGHTER

0:01:290:01:31

It looks like a before and after for one of those hair restoring clinics.

0:01:310:01:34

LAUGHTER

0:01:340:01:36

-RUSSIAN ACCENT:

-He's saying, "This is what they used

0:01:360:01:38

"when I had my prostate exam!"

0:01:380:01:40

Is he saying "So which journalist do you want me to have killed?"

0:01:430:01:46

AUDIENCE GASPS

0:01:460:01:48

Clearly went too far with that one.

0:01:480:01:52

I didn't realise this was a pro-Putin audience.

0:01:520:01:55

LAUGHTER

0:01:550:01:57

The shocking, anti-Putin bias at the BBC!

0:01:580:02:01

This is political correctness gone mad!

0:02:030:02:05

RUSSIAN ACCENT: This is political correctness gone mad.

0:02:050:02:08

LAUGHTER

0:02:080:02:10

For a second, I considered going for the accent and I pulled out of it,

0:02:100:02:13

and when I heard you do it I was like, "Good decision, Kumar".

0:02:130:02:17

I think you can do the Russian accent, yeah.

0:02:170:02:19

-RUSSIAN ACCENT:

-Do you really think so?

0:02:190:02:21

Oh, no, I can't.

0:02:210:02:22

LAUGHTER

0:02:220:02:24

Is it Trump saying,

0:02:240:02:26

"I can with Viagra but all that comes out is a weird-smelling dust?"

0:02:260:02:31

He's probably just going...

0:02:310:02:33

-RUSSIAN ACCENT:

-Look into my eyes,

0:02:330:02:35

I did not hack American Election.

0:02:350:02:38

LAUGHTER

0:02:380:02:40

That's Sesame Street!

0:02:400:02:41

AS THE COUNT: Who has one thumb and did election?

0:02:440:02:47

This guy!

0:02:470:02:48

This is the first annual meeting of the We Are Definitely Not Bald Club.

0:02:500:02:54

LAUGHTER

0:02:540:02:56

Oh, and what a tedious meeting that would be.

0:02:580:03:02

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:020:03:04

OK, is anyone going to tell me what it actually is?

0:03:070:03:09

It's Vladimir Putin meeting Donald Trump at the G20.

0:03:090:03:13

Thank you very much, Nish Kumar, you're absolutely right.

0:03:130:03:16

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:160:03:17

Yes, this is a picture of US President Donald Trump

0:03:190:03:22

and Russian President Vladimir Putin

0:03:220:03:24

meeting at this week's G20 Summit in Hamburg.

0:03:240:03:27

How did it all go? Did you enjoy the G20 this year?

0:03:270:03:30

This particular meeting there,

0:03:300:03:31

for a first date, this one seemed to go very, very well, didn't it?

0:03:310:03:34

Yeah, it did, yeah. Trump came out immediately afterwards

0:03:340:03:37

and was like... "He did, he did?"

0:03:370:03:38

LAUGHTER

0:03:380:03:41

Well, it was Pride weekend.

0:03:420:03:43

Why not, it's the G20.

0:03:430:03:45

You know it has that effect on people.

0:03:450:03:47

Is that what the G stands for?!

0:03:470:03:48

Gay 20, yeah. The 20 biggest gays.

0:03:480:03:52

20 biggest gays in the world!

0:03:520:03:54

Sorry, Tom, but please tell me - how does one measure the biggest gays?

0:03:560:04:00

Do they host that at Camp David?

0:04:000:04:03

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:030:04:05

But Trump immediately emerged after the conversation and said

0:04:100:04:14

"Oh, I've talked to Putin about the hacking, and he didn't do it".

0:04:140:04:18

And you go, "That's not how anything works."

0:04:180:04:20

It would be like my six-year-old saying,

0:04:220:04:25

"I asked my Daddy if he let me win that running race,

0:04:250:04:28

"and he said he didn't.

0:04:280:04:30

"He said he was running as best he could

0:04:300:04:32

"and I won the running race because I'm fastest."

0:04:320:04:35

-That cleared up.

-I... I was fastest.

0:04:360:04:39

LAUGHTER

0:04:390:04:41

You love the age difference, don't you?

0:04:420:04:44

You just do.

0:04:440:04:46

Got to have an angle somewhere, mate.

0:04:460:04:48

It's very, very difficult, though,

0:04:480:04:49

for Donald Trump to admit that the Russians interfered

0:04:490:04:51

in the American election

0:04:510:04:53

cos the only reason the Russians would have done it

0:04:530:04:55

is they know, that by getting him elected,

0:04:550:04:57

they would turn America into a laughing stock and a disaster.

0:04:570:05:00

Which is why the Russians didn't interfere in our election,

0:05:000:05:02

because they know that we can do that all on our own.

0:05:020:05:05

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:05:050:05:07

He said that he'd questioned him.

0:05:100:05:12

Twice, I think he said, he'd questioned whether they'd interfered

0:05:120:05:15

in the election and Putin said, "We do not interfere in this election,

0:05:150:05:19

"we will not interfere in the next election which YOU WILL WIN!"

0:05:190:05:23

LAUGHTER

0:05:230:05:26

Can you just imagine, though,

0:05:260:05:27

if Donald Trump actually did say to him,

0:05:270:05:29

"Did you hack our election?

0:05:290:05:30

"Were you involved in meddling in our election?"

0:05:300:05:32

You can just imagine Putin just looking at him going

0:05:320:05:34

"How thick are you?!"

0:05:340:05:36

"We had this conversation, you asked us to do it".

0:05:360:05:39

LAUGHTER

0:05:390:05:41

It's coming out and they're now saying that, you know,

0:05:410:05:43

this is the first time there is something concrete

0:05:430:05:45

that might lead to Trump's impeachment.

0:05:450:05:47

But what I love about it is the innocence of people

0:05:470:05:50

thinking if he gets impeached he's going to leave.

0:05:500:05:53

Like, this doesn't end with him walking out,

0:05:530:05:56

this ends with him on the roof,

0:05:560:05:58

holding Melania like King Kong

0:05:580:06:00

and bi-planes speeding towards The White House

0:06:000:06:04

just thinking, "Well, this was always going to go down this way".

0:06:040:06:07

The meeting was apparently 2 hours and 16 minutes long,

0:06:080:06:11

and everyone finds that ridiculous, what were they up to?

0:06:110:06:14

And I don't want to make assumptions

0:06:140:06:16

but 2 hours 16 minutes is the exact running time of Shrek 3.

0:06:160:06:19

LAUGHTER

0:06:190:06:21

I think, in fairness, we know which one's Shrek and which one's Donkey.

0:06:230:06:27

Is that why Melania had to break it up?

0:06:280:06:30

They literally had to send Melania in.

0:06:300:06:32

Poor Melania, she is literally waiting just for him, like he's 71,

0:06:320:06:37

he's on a bad diet, isn't he?

0:06:370:06:38

He's worth a lot of money.

0:06:380:06:40

She's just going to grease the stairs and shout "Fire!".

0:06:400:06:43

Definitely, you know, you can see her

0:06:430:06:45

every time she makes a public appearance

0:06:450:06:47

-she's like...

-IMITATES:

-"Hello, I'm Melania, I speak five languages,

0:06:470:06:50

"I know how to say 'help me' in all of them."

0:06:500:06:53

LAUGHTER

0:06:530:06:55

Who did Trump get to fill in for him at some of the G20 meetings?

0:06:550:06:58

It was bring-your-daughter-to-work day at the G20, apparently.

0:06:580:07:02

Yeah. Ivanka sat in on some of the meetings.

0:07:020:07:04

But I think it's all a bit unfair because, you know,

0:07:040:07:07

what Trump did is no different to what Obama did.

0:07:070:07:10

He was also replaced by "Awanka".

0:07:100:07:12

I like to think they were talking about global warming

0:07:170:07:20

and then she just went...

0:07:200:07:21

-VALLEY GIRL ACCENT:

-"I've got a really nice range of sandals

0:07:210:07:24

"that can help you with that."

0:07:240:07:26

That's how she talks.

0:07:260:07:28

That's how everyone American talks.

0:07:280:07:30

Like they're running out of batteries.

0:07:310:07:33

LAUGHTER

0:07:330:07:34

Moving on, how did Theresa May get on at the G20?

0:07:350:07:38

She got on very, very well.

0:07:380:07:40

-Did she?

-I tell you why she got on well.

0:07:400:07:44

It's because, at the moment, she's under a lot of pressure

0:07:440:07:46

so Philip Hammond, for example,

0:07:460:07:48

has said that the economy should be at the centre of Brexit,

0:07:480:07:51

it should be a soft Brexit.

0:07:510:07:52

But Donald Trump has promised her a very quick trade deal

0:07:520:07:56

with the United States,

0:07:560:07:57

and it will be quick because negotiation will be very quick.

0:07:570:08:00

They will say, "Will you accept irradiated beef,

0:08:000:08:02

"vegetables full of hormones?"

0:08:020:08:04

And we will say, "Hungry..."

0:08:040:08:07

LAUGHTER

0:08:070:08:08

Do you have any croissants?

0:08:130:08:15

I remember croissants,

0:08:160:08:17

but my children have never eaten croissants.

0:08:170:08:19

I described them to them once.

0:08:190:08:20

There was pastry everywhere.

0:08:200:08:22

It was, oh.... I want some cheese, I want some cheese!

0:08:220:08:25

Not Cheddar.

0:08:250:08:26

LAUGHTER

0:08:260:08:28

I always feel, as well,

0:08:280:08:29

like Theresa May and Donald Trump have a slightly...

0:08:290:08:32

She seems like a sort of school ma'am,

0:08:320:08:34

she seems like a nanny to him, which I imagine he'd respond well to.

0:08:340:08:36

Like, "No Donald, no Donald, no.

0:08:360:08:38

"We are not going to misbehave,

0:08:380:08:39

"we are not going to have a travel ban, are we?

0:08:390:08:41

"If you misbehave, I don't care,

0:08:410:08:42

"I will pull your pants down

0:08:420:08:44

"and I will smack your bottom in front of all these world leaders.

0:08:440:08:47

"What's going to happen is, I'm going to make some scones,

0:08:470:08:49

"I'm going to give you some sugar paper and some crayons

0:08:490:08:51

"and you're going to draw us a very nice trade deal.

0:08:510:08:54

"Aren't you, Donald?

0:08:540:08:55

"And if you don't behave yourself,

0:08:550:08:57

"you can go to Mrs Merkel's office, you won't like that."

0:08:570:09:00

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:000:09:02

I can imagine if Theresa May and Donald Trump

0:09:030:09:06

ever have dinner together,

0:09:060:09:07

Theresa May cuts his meat up for him.

0:09:070:09:09

LAUGHTER

0:09:090:09:11

Trump has said he's going to come to the UK.

0:09:110:09:12

Right, he cancelled it before and now he's said he's going to come.

0:09:120:09:15

Now he's not telling us when he's going to come so we can't protest.

0:09:150:09:18

It's like when you get told like the Sky man's coming round

0:09:180:09:20

so you've got to wait in between 8 and 6.

0:09:200:09:22

That means you can't have a wank

0:09:220:09:24

because you don't know when he's coming.

0:09:240:09:26

LAUGHTER

0:09:260:09:27

Who has Theresa May called on for help this week?

0:09:270:09:29

-The Labour Party.

-Yes!

0:09:290:09:30

She said can they help her deliver Brexit.

0:09:300:09:32

That is definitely a trap.

0:09:320:09:35

That is her going, "Come over here, Labour, and help me with Brexit.

0:09:350:09:41

"I won't blame it on you".

0:09:410:09:42

LAUGHTER

0:09:420:09:44

Her asking Labour is just more evidence

0:09:440:09:46

that Jeremy Corbyn did win the election.

0:09:460:09:48

Now he gets to have a say, right?

0:09:480:09:50

He gets his own chant, and thanks to that messed up high-five,

0:09:500:09:52

he got to touch a boob.

0:09:520:09:53

"It's all win for me", he said.

0:10:000:10:02

Sure he's "messed up!"

0:10:020:10:03

I'd love to be in that meeting where she says to him like,

0:10:030:10:05

"So Jeremy, Jeremy, have you got any ideas?"

0:10:050:10:08

And he goes, "Oh, yes," reaching into his hemp briefcase going,

0:10:080:10:10

"Oh, yes, I have got an idea, yes. It's this."

0:10:100:10:15

LAUGHTER

0:10:150:10:19

OK, at the end of that round, the points go to Tom, Hugh and Rhys.

0:10:250:10:29

Now we play a round called I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Vladimir.

0:10:320:10:36

LAUGHTER

0:10:360:10:38

This game involves Tom and Nish.

0:10:380:10:40

So, if you could make your way to the performance area, please.

0:10:400:10:43

This round is a stand-up challenge.

0:10:430:10:44

I launch the Wheel of News, and wherever it chooses to stop,

0:10:440:10:47

one of our performers must step forward and talk about that subject.

0:10:470:10:50

OK, here we go, let's spin the wheel.

0:10:500:10:52

The first subject is...

0:10:520:10:55

Politics. Oh, Nish.

0:10:550:10:56

So, we're living through a real period of political instability,

0:10:580:11:01

both here and in America.

0:11:010:11:03

And in the last couple of months, some unlikely saviours have emerged.

0:11:030:11:06

Tony Blair is considering a return to front line politics

0:11:060:11:09

and Chelsea Clinton is contemplating a run for the senate in 2020.

0:11:090:11:13

And to those people, let me just say this - maybe just leave it.

0:11:130:11:18

LAUGHTER

0:11:180:11:19

If you want to turn your public opinion around,

0:11:190:11:22

the way to do it is philanthropy, right?

0:11:220:11:24

And let's look at someone

0:11:240:11:25

who has turned their public opinion around through philanthropy.

0:11:250:11:28

Look at Bill Gates, right.

0:11:280:11:29

Bill Gates, for the last 15 years, with his wife, Melinda,

0:11:290:11:31

has spent all his time

0:11:310:11:33

trying to fight the spread of infectious disease.

0:11:330:11:35

I don't understand the science behind what's going on.

0:11:350:11:37

From what I can tell,

0:11:370:11:39

Bill Gates is trying to bribe AIDS to fuck off, right?

0:11:390:11:41

LAUGHTER

0:11:410:11:43

And we like him for that, but in the '90s, we hated Bill Gates

0:11:430:11:47

because of the paperclip.

0:11:470:11:48

Basically, there was a paperclip and you'd turn on Word

0:11:480:11:51

and the paperclip would appear,

0:11:510:11:53

and it would ask you if you were writing a letter,

0:11:530:11:55

but you weren't writing a letter so you were like,

0:11:550:11:57

"I hate you Bill Gates!

0:11:570:11:58

"I'm going to buy Mac forever".

0:11:580:11:59

LAUGHTER

0:11:590:12:01

And there are people genuinely putting their money

0:12:010:12:03

where their mouth is in regards to philanthropy.

0:12:030:12:06

Look at JK Rowling.

0:12:060:12:07

We all need to be very nice to JK Rowling from now on,

0:12:070:12:11

because she may be about to be all we've got economically.

0:12:110:12:14

We have no manufacturing sector,

0:12:140:12:17

our service industry is being driven by mass migration from the EU.

0:12:170:12:20

After Brexit, our entire economy

0:12:200:12:22

may depend on the adventures of a fake wizard

0:12:220:12:24

that technically ended in 2007, right?

0:12:240:12:27

We've got the play, we've got the films, we've got the film tour,

0:12:270:12:30

can we do a play tour?

0:12:300:12:32

JK, please write another book, Wales is sinking!

0:12:320:12:35

Maybe something about Harry trying to get his finances in order

0:12:350:12:38

in his 30s, like Harry Potter And The Mystery Of The Fixed Rate ISA?

0:12:380:12:41

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:12:410:12:44

Thank you very much, Nish.

0:12:440:12:46

OK, that leaves us with Tom.

0:12:490:12:51

Let's see what your topic is. Let's spin the wheel.

0:12:510:12:54

Now the topic is family.

0:12:540:12:56

Oh, OK, fine.

0:12:560:12:57

I did that run very well, didn't I?

0:12:580:13:01

So affording your own home is very difficult in today's climate.

0:13:010:13:06

Recently, I've been forced to live with a couple.

0:13:060:13:09

Er, they're called Dad and Mum.

0:13:090:13:11

LAUGHTER

0:13:110:13:13

And one thing that my parents' friends all like to let me know

0:13:130:13:16

is that they are down with the poofs.

0:13:160:13:19

LAUGHTER

0:13:190:13:21

They are down with the poofs, they love the poofs, I'm gay,

0:13:210:13:25

I don't know if I needed to explain that.

0:13:250:13:27

LAUGHTER

0:13:270:13:29

Well, I say I'm gay, I hardly find the time.

0:13:290:13:31

LAUGHTER

0:13:310:13:33

I mean, I'm a Gemini as well, but they don't get a parade.

0:13:330:13:36

The thing is, their friend, Les, wanted to come over and talk to me

0:13:360:13:39

and Les comes over and he says,

0:13:390:13:41

"Oh, Tom, I've got to tell you, I've got to tell you, right,

0:13:410:13:43

"my brother, right, my brother, he is gay now."

0:13:430:13:46

Gay now? I mean it sounded like he'd done an evening class

0:13:470:13:49

and become a pilates instructor.

0:13:490:13:52

So he's, "Oh, yeah, my brother,

0:13:520:13:53

"he's gay now and he was ever so worried about telling me,

0:13:530:13:55

"ever so worried about telling me."

0:13:550:13:57

He said, "Oh, I've got to tell you, Les, I'm gay, Les, I'm gay, Les.

0:13:570:14:00

I thought, "Gay les"? That's complicated, isn't it?

0:14:000:14:02

-LAUGHTER

-I didn't know you could be both.

0:14:020:14:04

He said, "I'm gay, Les, I'm gay, Les."

0:14:040:14:07

"And I just said to him, Tom, I just said to him, 'Oh, don't worry, bruv.

0:14:070:14:10

" 'There's one on every bus' ".

0:14:100:14:12

LAUGHTER

0:14:120:14:14

Which I thought was a very confusing thing to say,

0:14:140:14:16

because as far as I'm concerned, all the gays I know use Uber.

0:14:160:14:19

LAUGHTER

0:14:190:14:22

Thank you very much, Tom, well done.

0:14:220:14:23

At the end of the round, the points go to Tom Allen.

0:14:250:14:27

APPLAUSE

0:14:270:14:28

Our next round is called,

0:14:310:14:32

If This is the Answer, What is the Question?

0:14:320:14:35

On the board are six categories.

0:14:350:14:36

Tom - which category would you like?

0:14:360:14:38

World News, please.

0:14:380:14:39

So if your category is world news.

0:14:390:14:41

And the answer is 580 miles.

0:14:410:14:44

What is the question?

0:14:440:14:46

Is it how far the Proclaimers now have to walk

0:14:460:14:50

to see their partner now they've been priced out of Aberdeen?

0:14:500:14:53

LAUGHTER

0:14:530:14:56

Is it, according to my estate agent, how far can I throw a stone?

0:14:560:15:00

LAUGHTER

0:15:000:15:02

Is it how far wide of the mark everything Piers Morgan says is?

0:15:080:15:12

LAUGHTER

0:15:120:15:14

Is it the closest Anne Marie Morris has ever been to a person of colour?

0:15:140:15:17

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

0:15:170:15:19

What is the average distance

0:15:200:15:22

Melania Trump has maintained from Donald since he became president?

0:15:220:15:26

Is it, what would count as an inconveniently long penis?

0:15:260:15:30

LAUGHTER

0:15:300:15:32

Inconvenient in what way, though, Hugh?

0:15:330:15:36

How far can one dragon fly on a stomach full of children?

0:15:360:15:41

LAUGHTER

0:15:410:15:43

That was way darker than I expected.

0:15:430:15:46

Is it the furthest Theresa May has ever travelled

0:15:460:15:48

without performing a U-turn?

0:15:480:15:50

Ooh, I can do topical, guys!

0:15:520:15:54

Don't think I'm just a silly old gay.

0:15:540:15:56

LAUGHTER

0:15:560:15:58

Is it, if you took out your intestine and laid it out flat,

0:15:580:16:01

how far away would I move from your house?

0:16:010:16:03

LAUGHTER

0:16:030:16:05

Is it, if 580 miles were laid out - end to end...

0:16:070:16:13

LAUGHTER

0:16:130:16:16

Is it, how far away can Donald Trump Jr get

0:16:180:16:21

before they reach the end of the sentence, "Open up, it's the FBI"?

0:16:210:16:24

LAUGHTER

0:16:240:16:26

OK, does anyone have the correct answer?

0:16:270:16:29

Is it how far a North Korean missile has travelled?

0:16:290:16:31

Yes, this week, thank you very much, Nish Kumar.

0:16:310:16:33

Very good.

0:16:330:16:35

APPLAUSE

0:16:350:16:37

Yes, the question I was looking for was,

0:16:380:16:40

"How far did North Korea claim their latest missile travelled

0:16:400:16:43

"when they conducted a test-launch last week?".

0:16:430:16:46

Experts from the US-based Union of Concerned Scientists

0:16:460:16:49

suggest the missile could travel 6,700km, far enough to reach Alaska.

0:16:490:16:54

The Union of Concerned Scientists!

0:16:540:16:57

That sounds like a party bunch, doesn't it?

0:16:570:17:00

I doubt there's very much chemistry, there.

0:17:000:17:02

APPLAUSE

0:17:060:17:08

Well, yeah, they're next door to The Union of Blase Scientists.

0:17:080:17:11

So, they're kind of like, "Come on, it's Alaska, what?

0:17:110:17:14

"Some salmon?"

0:17:140:17:15

LAUGHTER

0:17:150:17:17

Do you think if it reaches Alaska, though...

0:17:170:17:19

Because it's got the ice there already,

0:17:190:17:21

do you think they could form like a Baked Alaska?

0:17:210:17:24

And have a big meringue over the top,

0:17:240:17:26

if they could just flood it with jam, it would be delicious.

0:17:260:17:29

He should let them fire it at Alaska.

0:17:290:17:31

It's going to save them a fortune on fracking.

0:17:310:17:33

LAUGHTER

0:17:330:17:34

There is a lot of focus on Alaska.

0:17:340:17:36

Obviously, because it's mainland America...

0:17:360:17:38

But it's rubbish, isn't it?

0:17:380:17:40

Is that what you were going to say? Who cares?

0:17:400:17:42

Sarah Palin's there.

0:17:420:17:44

That was not the point I was going to make about poor Alaska.

0:17:440:17:47

"Oh, it's just Alaska, for God's sake".

0:17:470:17:49

"Oh, roar, I'm a bear".

0:17:490:17:51

EXPLOSION SOUND "Who cares?"

0:17:510:17:53

Call me when it hits one of the good ones.

0:17:530:17:55

Do you think we should be worried about it, though?

0:17:560:17:58

I mean, you're the science guy.

0:17:580:18:00

Obviously, as we've discussed many times.

0:18:000:18:02

So how dangerous is an ICBM.

0:18:020:18:04

Is it 1950s technology?

0:18:040:18:06

Is it like, they have in fact perfected the Goblin Teasmade?

0:18:060:18:08

It's quite... How dangerous is a nuclear weapon?

0:18:080:18:10

Meh! Quite dangerous!

0:18:100:18:12

LAUGHTER

0:18:120:18:14

On a scale of stubbing your toe to LOTS of people dying,

0:18:140:18:18

it's more within the higher end of that rather than the lower end.

0:18:180:18:22

How does it work, though?

0:18:220:18:23

Why does it have to go so high?

0:18:230:18:25

It went 4,700 km up or something, didn't it?

0:18:250:18:28

Well, it would get caught in the trees, wouldn't it?

0:18:280:18:30

LAUGHTER

0:18:300:18:31

It's just a test.

0:18:330:18:34

You just pop it up and bring it down.

0:18:340:18:37

And equally, at Halloween,

0:18:370:18:38

you could take the fireworks that you have in your garden

0:18:380:18:40

and rather than sending them straight up,

0:18:400:18:42

you could just fire them straight at your neighbour.

0:18:420:18:44

You could just do that.

0:18:440:18:46

You could just go, "Arrghhh", this is for that big Leylandii tree.

0:18:460:18:50

Phoosh! Just straight at the window, right.

0:18:500:18:53

"This is for not giving me back my lawnmower". Phoosh!

0:18:530:18:57

The kind of discussions

0:18:570:18:59

I'm sure you always have with your neighbours.

0:18:590:19:02

Well, my neighbours are 580 miles away, so I don't...

0:19:020:19:06

There he is, look at him.

0:19:060:19:07

Found the right way round.

0:19:070:19:08

Looking the right way round.

0:19:080:19:10

I think he's just checking that his uncle is still tied to the missile.

0:19:100:19:14

He's watching Love Island.

0:19:150:19:16

And he was delighted with himself.

0:19:190:19:20

There he is!

0:19:200:19:22

Thrilled. That guy is like, "Oh, I live another day".

0:19:230:19:26

That guy is absolutely hedging his bets on how the missile test goes.

0:19:290:19:32

Cos he's like, "This is either I surrender, or yayyyyy."

0:19:320:19:37

Do you agree with me that pinstripe

0:19:370:19:39

is very much the thing for watching a missile test?

0:19:390:19:41

It's very slimming if you're sort of carrying a bit of weight here.

0:19:410:19:44

It can really bring your waist in

0:19:440:19:46

and I think it's the de rigueur outfit

0:19:460:19:48

for launching a ballistic missile.

0:19:480:19:51

If you're planning... If you want to, "What shall I wear?

0:19:510:19:53

"I'll ask a gay friend.

0:19:530:19:54

"He says pinstripe."

0:19:540:19:56

Do you think,

0:19:570:19:59

in the event of whether or not he has any gay friends

0:19:590:20:01

and we'd imagine, no, right.

0:20:010:20:03

Do you think, the fact that he's wearing pinstripe

0:20:030:20:05

means that somebody had the nerve to go to Kim Jong-un and go,

0:20:050:20:10

"Maybe if one were to be carrying a little bit of weight..."?

0:20:100:20:13

LAUGHTER

0:20:130:20:14

"I'm not saying you are, I'm not saying you are,

0:20:140:20:17

"I'm just saying it would be quite slimming in that situation".

0:20:170:20:20

I'm not sure he's got that, because that same person, presumably,

0:20:200:20:23

would have looked at his hair and been like,

0:20:230:20:25

"Yeah, that's absolutely fine".

0:20:250:20:27

LAUGHTER

0:20:270:20:29

Anyway, meanwhile, what are the government ministers

0:20:290:20:32

cracking down on - genuinely cracking down on this week?

0:20:320:20:34

People claiming insurance claims

0:20:340:20:36

for getting food poisoning while on holiday.

0:20:360:20:38

-Yes.

-Because it's time for that to stop.

0:20:380:20:40

Who was aware that we needed to draw a line in the sand on that one?

0:20:420:20:45

Who woke up this morning and went,

0:20:450:20:47

"Too many people are claiming falsely

0:20:470:20:49

"that they got sick when they were on holiday".

0:20:490:20:51

Apparently it's rife, this claiming back for illness on holiday.

0:20:510:20:54

And the reaction is 50% of people going,

0:20:540:20:56

"That's terrible because that surely goes back

0:20:560:20:59

on to our insurance costs and 50% of them going,

0:20:590:21:01

"You can do that? I wasn't aware you could do that".

0:21:010:21:06

Remember, remember, Brenda had that dicky tummy round about day 3.

0:21:070:21:10

That would be worth a few quid, wouldn't it?

0:21:100:21:13

I once saw a list of complaints to Thomas Cook,

0:21:130:21:16

and my favourite one was from a woman in Surrey who said,

0:21:160:21:19

"I want to complain about my holiday in Barbados.

0:21:190:21:22

"It took us eight hours to get home."

0:21:220:21:25

LAUGHTER

0:21:250:21:27

"It only took the Americans three hours to get home".

0:21:270:21:32

Apparently, if you get caught doing this...

0:21:320:21:36

-Yes.

-..you can go to prison for three years.

0:21:360:21:37

Imagine the conversation, "Oh, what are you in for?"

0:21:370:21:40

"I murdered my family, what about you?"

0:21:400:21:42

"I pretended to have diarrhoea in Zante

0:21:420:21:44

"so I didn't have to pay for a Steak Frites".

0:21:440:21:46

-ED:

-Is it all people doing it just for insurance

0:21:460:21:48

or is just that classic British holiday-maker thing

0:21:480:21:50

of drinking 15 pints and then claiming the fact that

0:21:500:21:53

you're puking your ring on the prawn cocktail you had?

0:21:530:21:56

Did you just say "puking your ring?"

0:21:560:21:58

Puking your ring, yeah.

0:21:580:21:59

-Irish colloquialism.

-It's an Irish phrase.

0:21:590:22:01

Never heard that, puking your ring.

0:22:010:22:02

What does it mean? Is it something to do with Lord of the Rings?

0:22:020:22:05

You puke so hard your own arsehole comes up and out through your mouth.

0:22:050:22:08

LAUGHTER

0:22:080:22:09

APPLAUSE

0:22:110:22:14

It's a rich culture, the Irish. Rich culture.

0:22:140:22:17

Far too rich if you're puking like that.

0:22:170:22:20

We are a witty and loquacious people.

0:22:200:22:22

You should hear my father simply describe every fart he lets.

0:22:220:22:26

"Mm. You could knit that one".

0:22:270:22:29

You know, that kind of thing.

0:22:290:22:31

LAUGHTER

0:22:310:22:32

"Mm. You won't get that out in a cold wash".

0:22:350:22:37

Oh, it's like Ulysses, isn't it, really?

0:22:390:22:42

It's amazing when the Irish Tourist Board used that

0:22:420:22:45

as one of their things.

0:22:450:22:48

Come for the landscape.

0:22:480:22:49

It's not just the music and the mountains people come for.

0:22:490:22:52

Parp!

0:22:520:22:54

Big Ed's bumholes.

0:22:550:22:56

There's eating and drinking in that one.

0:22:560:22:58

Mm. That one came out with its boots on.

0:22:580:23:00

Where a fart isn't just a fart.

0:23:030:23:05

Ireland.

0:23:050:23:06

Yeah, a little...

0:23:080:23:10

Oh, you don't play panpipes.

0:23:100:23:12

-I was about to say panpipes.

-Panpipes?

0:23:120:23:14

What do you think we are?

0:23:140:23:16

Mexican Irish.

0:23:170:23:19

Welcome to Ireland. PLAYS PAN PIPES

0:23:190:23:22

It's Peru!

0:23:240:23:25

You'll have come from the lakes of Killarney, won't you?

0:23:270:23:30

PLAYS PANPIPES

0:23:300:23:33

I was about to say the penny whistle

0:23:330:23:35

doesn't actually make any noise.

0:23:350:23:37

No, the penny whistle is more of a Bolivian thing.

0:23:370:23:40

Buenos Dias. Tootle-toot!

0:23:400:23:42

At the end of that, the points go to Ed, Tiff and Nish.

0:23:440:23:48

APPLAUSE

0:23:480:23:50

Now we come to Scenes We'd Like To See.

0:23:510:23:54

So if everyone can make their way over

0:23:540:23:55

to the performance area, please.

0:23:550:23:57

I'll read out this week's topics,

0:23:570:23:58

and then we'll see what our panellists can come up with.

0:23:580:24:01

OK, here we go. The first subject is...

0:24:010:24:03

Things a Sports Commentator Would Never Say.

0:24:030:24:06

Eight no balls in a row.

0:24:060:24:08

Usual enough for the Women's 100m final.

0:24:080:24:10

LAUGHTER

0:24:100:24:12

Rory McIlroy is on the green.

0:24:140:24:17

He holds the baby lamb aloft.

0:24:170:24:20

This is for an eagle.

0:24:200:24:22

LAUGHTER

0:24:220:24:24

APPLAUSE

0:24:260:24:28

They think it's all over.

0:24:280:24:29

It is now, I'm dead.

0:24:290:24:31

And the Russian champ beginning her floor routine now.

0:24:350:24:37

Running, running, running,

0:24:370:24:39

big jump and a tumble and a little tumble,

0:24:390:24:40

and then rolling around and a little bit of swirling as I...

0:24:400:24:43

To be honest with you, I normally do the darts.

0:24:430:24:45

0:24:530:24:55

And at the end of that match it's 0-0,
