Hello and welcome to Mock The Week. I'm Dara O Briain.

0:00:330:00:36

Joining me this week are Rhys James, Ellie Taylor and Ed Byrne,

0:00:360:00:40

James Acaster, Hugh Dennis and Tom Allen.

0:00:400:00:43

APPLAUSE

0:00:430:00:46

We start with a round called Picture Of The Week.

0:00:490:00:52

I show the panel a topical image and ask them to tell me

0:00:520:00:54

what is happening. So what's going on here?

0:00:540:00:57

I was looking to see if Theresa May's in the background,

0:00:580:01:01

going, "Drill where the wire is. Drill..."

0:01:010:01:03

LAUGHTER

0:01:030:01:06

Is it, "Horror as shadow of man's penis looks like a hand."

0:01:060:01:11

LAUGHTER

0:01:110:01:14

He's got an enormous hand.

0:01:140:01:17

A penis that looks like a shadow of a hand? How do you know that?

0:01:170:01:19

Well, I haven't seen as many as you, Dara, clearly!

0:01:190:01:22

LAUGHTER

0:01:220:01:23

I can just imagine the Sun headline is something like,

0:01:230:01:26

"Madman Corbyn vandalises perfectly good wall with drill."

0:01:260:01:30

Is it "Corbyn closing the door

0:01:310:01:33

"on his and Diane Abbott's 1970s sex den?"

0:01:330:01:36

LAUGHTER

0:01:360:01:38

I think he's probably just going, "Yeah, that's right, he's in there.

0:01:380:01:41

"Tony Blair will never escape now."

0:01:410:01:44

What we don't see is the bit where he starts the drill,

0:01:440:01:46

the drill stays still and he spins round and round.

0:01:460:01:49

Oh, Jeremy, and your mad adventures!

0:01:500:01:54

I like to think he's just sidled up there and gone,

0:01:540:01:57

"This wall just became a stud wall."

0:01:570:01:59

LAUGHTER

0:01:590:02:02

Maybe it's him creating his absolute lad cave at last.

0:02:020:02:06

Well, I hope he has better luck

0:02:060:02:07

than he had putting together a cabinet.

0:02:070:02:09

LAUGHTER

0:02:090:02:12

APPLAUSE Wow.

0:02:120:02:16

It's not just the Cabinet, though?

0:02:160:02:18

It's not just a cabinet, it's a Shadow Cabinet.

0:02:180:02:20

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:02:200:02:24

Whoa, whoa, what's going on here?

0:02:240:02:27

What Radio 4 show are we on?

0:02:270:02:29

LAUGHTER

0:02:290:02:31

Good job he's wearing that vest, isn't it?

0:02:310:02:33

Cos it is the first time he's been highly visible

0:02:330:02:35

since the election campaign.

0:02:350:02:37

LAUGHTER

0:02:370:02:38

Fuck you.

0:02:380:02:41

Also, good job he's wearing that hard hat.

0:02:410:02:43

LAUGHTER

0:02:440:02:47

APPLAUSE

0:02:470:02:50

-That there, is Jeremy Corbyn.

-Thank you very much, Hugh Dennis.

0:02:500:02:54

-LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ELLIE:

-Wow, he's so clever!

0:02:540:02:58

Yes, this is an almost entirely unrelated picture

0:02:590:03:01

of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn who, this week,

0:03:010:03:03

lost a vote against the second reading

0:03:030:03:05

of the government's EU Withdrawal Bill,

0:03:050:03:07

also known as the Great Repeal Bill.

0:03:070:03:09

The Bill will transfer EU law

0:03:090:03:10

directly into UK law, once the country leaves the EU.

0:03:100:03:13

It was passed by Parliament this week by 326 votes to 290.

0:03:130:03:17

Why did Labour try to block the bill?

0:03:170:03:19

-Because they didn't agree with it.

-There we go.

0:03:190:03:21

That's how Parliament works, baby. LAUGHTER

0:03:210:03:24

Because they were afraid they'd consider it a power grab?

0:03:240:03:27

Yeah, it was.

0:03:270:03:29

The Conservatives have what they call Henry VIII powers,

0:03:290:03:32

where they can actually kill their own wives if they annoy them.

0:03:320:03:35

And they were just worried about how much of a power grab it is.

0:03:350:03:38

In fact, what's his name, Tom Brake,

0:03:380:03:40

who's the Brexit spokesman for the Lib Dems,

0:03:400:03:43

came up with a great line when it went through.

0:03:430:03:46

He said, "It's a dark day for the mother of parliaments."

0:03:460:03:50

Which just sounds like something you want to say covered in ravens

0:03:500:03:53

and a dark cloak, with smoke billowing around you.

0:03:530:03:55

"It's a dark day for the mother of parliaments."

0:03:550:03:58

-Squawk, squawk.

-LAUGHTER

0:03:580:04:01

-So, it's called the Withdrawal Bill.

-Yeah.

0:04:010:04:03

Because, from what I remember of reading Just Seventeen,

0:04:030:04:06

-you should never rely just on withdrawal.

-No.

0:04:060:04:08

There's a danger there will be some EU baby.

0:04:090:04:12

I knew a guy at college whose nickname was Withdrawal Bill.

0:04:120:04:15

LAUGHTER

0:04:150:04:17

-And how many children does he have?

-Quite a few, yeah.

0:04:170:04:20

He wasn't as popular as Repeal Bill.

0:04:200:04:22

Yes, cos we'll have all the EU's laws, which the EU will notice.

0:04:230:04:26

They're surely going to notice that we've just nicked all their laws.

0:04:260:04:29

Basically, we get rid of them over time,

0:04:290:04:31

get rid of the ones we don't want so, essentially,

0:04:310:04:33

it's going to be like a bloke in a high street going through a bin.

0:04:330:04:36

How bleak an image of that actually is.

0:04:370:04:40

A homeless man digging through a bin to find the laws we want to keep.

0:04:400:04:45

-That's Britain in the next... effectively.

-That's how it works.

0:04:450:04:49

I've worked out another way to explain it to you, Dara,

0:04:490:04:51

-if you don't understand.

-Thank you very much.

0:04:510:04:53

So, we get to keep all the laws that we want

0:04:530:04:55

and then get rid of the ones that we don't like,

0:04:550:04:57

so it's sort of like, if I married a bloke and he had loads of kids

0:04:570:05:00

and then, once I'm married, I can make the shit kids

0:05:000:05:02

go and live with their real mum. It's that sort of thing.

0:05:020:05:05

LAUGHTER That is also a bleak metaphor.

0:05:050:05:09

I'm really hoping one of you has a metaphor involving a cake shop.

0:05:090:05:13

I can't believe Henry VIII's back.

0:05:140:05:17

Probably the largest surprise here.

0:05:170:05:19

I was surprised enough when Blair got back into politics,

0:05:190:05:22

but the fact that Henry VIII's making a comeback,

0:05:220:05:24

that should be the headline.

0:05:240:05:26

I don't know why no-one's making a fuss about it.

0:05:260:05:28

It's all part of this Henry VIII clause.

0:05:280:05:30

The Henry VIII clause sounds like a man

0:05:300:05:31

who comes down your chimney to behead your wife.

0:05:310:05:34

LAUGHTER

0:05:340:05:35

Wasn't Michael Fallon as well saying to Tony Blair, "Get over it",

0:05:350:05:38

which sort of sounded like they were arguing

0:05:380:05:40

outside a Wetherspoon's or something. "Just get over it!

0:05:400:05:43

"Theresa's going to leave you

0:05:430:05:45

"and stop spreading nonsense about her online.

0:05:450:05:47

"She's going, get over it!"

0:05:470:05:49

I imagine that's how people talk outside Wetherspoon's.

0:05:490:05:52

LAUGHTER

0:05:520:05:53

I've not been.

0:05:530:05:55

I also think that, is it all a big ploy,

0:05:550:05:58

because they're just sort of boring? It's so boring.

0:05:580:06:00

-Let's face it, it's boring.

-Yeah, it is.

-Not this, this isn't boring.

0:06:000:06:04

-This is lovely.

-LAUGHTER

0:06:040:06:06

I'll tell you what's not boring. Henry VIII is back!

0:06:060:06:09

LAUGHTER

0:06:090:06:11

Nobody cares. We could be eating wild boar 24/7.

0:06:110:06:15

I accept it is dull,

0:06:150:06:17

because it is EU law and there's no way of that not been boring.

0:06:170:06:21

And it is important because... to legislate by proclamation...

0:06:210:06:25

That's the idea. If they get these in,

0:06:250:06:26

they can just strike them off again.

0:06:260:06:28

OK, legislate by approximation is like the way I parent,

0:06:280:06:32

which is, "OK, nobody gets ice cream. Nobody is getting ice cream."

0:06:320:06:38

"But I didn't do anything." "OK, YOU get ice cream."

0:06:380:06:40

"Wait, that's not fair." "OK, everybody gets ice cream."

0:06:400:06:42

"What?" "OK, nobody gets ice cream."

0:06:420:06:44

LAUGHTER

0:06:440:06:46

That's how it works, basically.

0:06:460:06:48

-Which of us are getting ice cream?

-OK, you're all getting ice cream.

0:06:480:06:52

-I want ice cream.

-OK.

0:06:520:06:54

-I want raspberry ripple.

-No...

-Sorbet?

0:06:540:06:58

Fine, we'll just nip back to the '70s and get you some.

0:06:580:07:01

LAUGHTER

0:07:010:07:02

We have Ben & Jerry's now!

0:07:020:07:04

Er, Henry VIII's back, Ed!

0:07:040:07:06

LAUGHTER

0:07:060:07:08

So, how quickly are the negotiations taking? Are they going well?

0:07:080:07:12

-Oh, they're going tremendously well.

-Yes.

0:07:120:07:14

We've made enormous...progress.

0:07:140:07:16

Apparently, Lord Adonis was calling for David Davis to be sacked

0:07:160:07:21

and then people were calling for Lord Adonis to be sacked.

0:07:210:07:23

I'd quite like it if Lord Adonis was sacked,

0:07:230:07:25

because that's also my Grindr name.

0:07:250:07:27

LAUGHTER

0:07:270:07:29

A lot of confusion, actually.

0:07:290:07:31

And is being sacked something you offer people?

0:07:310:07:34

LAUGHTER

0:07:340:07:36

Sometimes.

0:07:360:07:38

-They need to put the power back in the hands of the people.

-Yeah.

0:07:380:07:41

I don't want no EU telling me what do.

0:07:410:07:43

I don't want the government telling me what to do.

0:07:430:07:45

It should be us, the people.

0:07:450:07:46

I say, each day, a different one of us

0:07:460:07:49

-takes it in turns to be in charge.

-LAUGHTER

0:07:490:07:52

Each day, we can do whatever we want, and that's true democracy.

0:07:520:07:55

Take it in turns to be a dictator.

0:07:550:07:57

LAUGHTER

0:07:570:07:59

-What happens on your day?

-What happens on my day? Two words.

0:07:590:08:03

Raspberry ripple.

0:08:030:08:05

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:050:08:08

Moving on, however... LAUGHTER

0:08:120:08:15

What can artificial intelligence tell about you

0:08:150:08:17

by scanning your face?

0:08:170:08:19

-Is it that you can tell if someone's gay or not?

-Yes.

0:08:190:08:22

-Is that the reason why I've been invited on this week?

-No!

0:08:220:08:26

I mean, it's not that difficult to tell someone.

0:08:260:08:28

I can do it, if they're wearing corduroys.

0:08:280:08:30

-LAUGHTER

-I also feel... No offence!

0:08:300:08:33

But I do feel, I do feel like

0:08:330:08:36

it's a bit like something people at school would have invented.

0:08:360:08:39

I remember when I was at school, people would say,

0:08:390:08:41

"If you're gay, say 'What'." And people go, "What?"

0:08:410:08:44

You go, "You're gay then!" It's just an upgrade of that, basically.

0:08:440:08:48

This is like a complex face-analysing algorithm,

0:08:480:08:52

created by researchers at Stanford University, used to predict

0:08:520:08:55

a person's sexuality, and you say it is merely an upgrade on...

0:08:550:09:00

-If you're gay, say "What."

-LAUGHTER

0:09:000:09:03

I don't see the use of it. Are you going to show Great-aunt Ethel,

0:09:030:09:06

and she's like, "I've been married for 45 years

0:09:060:09:08

"and I've got six kids, but I put my photo into the app

0:09:080:09:10

"and, apparently, I'm mad for the puss."

0:09:100:09:12

LAUGHTER

0:09:120:09:15

That would be quite the Christmas, wouldn't it?

0:09:150:09:18

It's going to make passport control at Qatar airport

0:09:180:09:20

-more nerve-racking, isn't it?

-LAUGHTER

0:09:200:09:23

It's a waste of time. I can already tell

0:09:260:09:28

if someone's gay by just looking at a picture of their spouse.

0:09:280:09:32

-LAUGHTER

-So, they measure you, don't they?

0:09:320:09:34

And the only way they could test the validity of it is by asking

0:09:340:09:38

those people who they've measured whether they were gay.

0:09:380:09:41

So, why not just ask them?

0:09:410:09:44

LAUGHTER

0:09:440:09:46

One of the metrics, apparently, as well, that is supposed to show

0:09:460:09:49

-that a man is gay is that he's got a larger forehead.

-Yes.

0:09:490:09:53

-Look at mine.

-Tom and Dara have exactly the same size forehead.

0:09:530:09:56

-Oh, my God, Dara, that means you're gay.

-Oh, wow! Yeah.

0:09:560:10:00

That's it, I've always wondered.

0:10:000:10:02

Yeah, put a jumper around your neck, let's go and play volleyball.

0:10:020:10:05

-When I was at school, we had gay cards.

-Yes.

0:10:060:10:09

And according to my classmates, I was dropping mine constantly.

0:10:090:10:12

It's a bit like having an earring in the other ear,

0:10:120:10:15

which no-one knew which one it was. One side was the gay ear.

0:10:150:10:18

I was so confused I just had clip-ons in both.

0:10:180:10:20

LAUGHTER

0:10:200:10:22

Cos it was supposed to be one ear was gay and one ear was pirates.

0:10:220:10:26

It was so ridiculous.

0:10:260:10:27

Those were the two things and often, they are confused...

0:10:270:10:30

in certain clubs.

0:10:300:10:32

LAUGHTER

0:10:320:10:34

Our gay scanner at school was called Warren

0:10:340:10:36

and if you handed in your homework, you were gay,

0:10:360:10:39

if you did anything extracurricular, you were gay,

0:10:390:10:42

if you whipped your naked classmates with a towel,

0:10:420:10:44

you were just part of the rugby team.

0:10:440:10:46

LAUGHTER

0:10:460:10:49

Why not give this technology, though, to the gay community?

0:10:490:10:52

-Would that be more useful?

-They have already. It's called Grindr.

0:10:520:10:55

LAUGHTER

0:10:550:10:57

But at the entrance to a gay bar or whatever, there could be gay bars

0:10:570:11:00

where you can just go "beep" and go, "No, you're straight."

0:11:000:11:04

Cos, presumably, it would be equally accurate at pointing out

0:11:040:11:06

a straight and you go, "Stop coming in here and wasting our time."

0:11:060:11:10

I'm just saying, that when I go in there, cos I like to dance,

0:11:100:11:13

-who wants to dance? I love to dance.

-You love to dance, darling.

0:11:130:11:16

-You love to dance. You've got the forehead for it.

-Enough said!

0:11:160:11:19

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:190:11:23

At the end of that round, the points go to Tom, Hugh and James.

0:11:240:11:28

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:280:11:31

Now we play a round called

0:11:310:11:33

Here Comes The Mockstepper. Turn it up.

0:11:330:11:36

This game involves Tom and Rhys,

0:11:360:11:38

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

0:11:380:11:41

This round is a stand-up challenge.

0:11:410:11:42

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

0:11:420:11:45

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

0:11:450:11:47

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

0:11:470:11:49

OK, the subject is ageing. Who wants to come in on that? Rhys.

0:11:520:11:56

Big year for me this year. I turn 26. 26!

0:11:560:12:00

Yeah, that means I'm now officially closer to 30

0:12:000:12:03

than I am to my stepdad.

0:12:030:12:06

LAUGHTER

0:12:060:12:08

I'm joking, I don't have a stepdad, my parents are still together.

0:12:080:12:10

My childhood was flawless, OK.

0:12:100:12:12

I know I'm getting older, cos I'm at the age now,

0:12:120:12:14

my parents no longer give me presents for Christmas,

0:12:140:12:17

they just give me money.

0:12:170:12:18

But I can't give them money, because that's weird.

0:12:180:12:20

And also, it would be less money.

0:12:200:12:23

LAUGHTER

0:12:230:12:24

She usually gets me money, my mum.

0:12:240:12:26

She gets me cash, but also she wants to get me

0:12:260:12:28

something to unwrap on Christmas Day,

0:12:280:12:30

so that while I'm unwrapping it, she can explain

0:12:300:12:32

that she's kept the receipt and if I don't like it, I can take it back.

0:12:320:12:34

You know, mums - white, white mums.

0:12:340:12:36

Every year, "I've got the receipt, if you don't like it,

0:12:360:12:38

"you can take it back." I'm like, "Thanks, Mum."

0:12:380:12:40

-"You have bought me an errand."

-LAUGHTER

0:12:400:12:43

What's for Christmas this year?

0:12:430:12:45

Oh, a trip to Topman, same as last year, thank you.

0:12:450:12:47

So, I've got to buy them presents, but they're hard to buy for,

0:12:470:12:50

because they're just generic white parents, you know,

0:12:500:12:52

so I've got the same thing every year.

0:12:520:12:54

I've got my dad a John Grisham book.

0:12:540:12:56

Every year I'm like, "Hey, Dad, this one's about a lawyer."

0:12:560:12:59

Got to get my mum bath stuff.

0:12:590:13:01

That's what she wants every year, bath stuff.

0:13:010:13:03

"Just get me bath stuff, Rhys."

0:13:030:13:05

Got her a toaster. She didn't see the funny side.

0:13:050:13:07

LAUGHTER

0:13:070:13:10

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:13:100:13:12

Good man. Thank you very much, Rhys James.

0:13:120:13:14

That leaves us with Tom. Let's see what your topic is.

0:13:160:13:19

Let's spin the wheel.

0:13:190:13:21

-The topic is school.

-Oh, OK.

0:13:210:13:23

I'm very good at that running.

0:13:240:13:26

So, I think education has changed quite a lot since I was at school.

0:13:260:13:30

Now I know teachers have TAs in the classroom,

0:13:300:13:33

but this was long before the Territorial Army got involved.

0:13:330:13:36

LAUGHTER

0:13:360:13:38

Back when I was at school, you basically had one teacher

0:13:380:13:41

and 35 or 50...

0:13:410:13:43

million children in one class.

0:13:430:13:46

You were basically watching one person have a nervous breakdown

0:13:460:13:49

before your very eyes.

0:13:490:13:52

I remember my teacher, she'd be, like,

0:13:520:13:53

"Right, we're going to do maths now. Tens, hundreds, thousands.

0:13:530:13:56

"Put those bricks away. Come and sit on the mat now.

0:13:560:13:59

"Don't piss yourself again. Reading now. Read a bit, read a bit.

0:13:590:14:02

"Can you read? Doesn't matter, we don't have time.

0:14:020:14:04

"Now, we're going to do geography. Do you know where this is?

0:14:040:14:07

"Doesn't matter. We don't own it any more. Now, art.

0:14:070:14:10

"Everyone, draw this thing. Hold up your drawings.

0:14:100:14:12

"Gold star for you, smiley face for you, house point for you.

0:14:120:14:15

"What does it mean? No-one knows!

0:14:150:14:17

"Now we're going to learn about nature and the water cycle.

0:14:170:14:19

"Water comes up here, along here, falls down in your face.

0:14:190:14:22

"Now we're going to make a display about that out of foil.

0:14:220:14:24

"OK, now we're going to learn a bit more about nature.

0:14:240:14:26

"Everyone, go out to the playground, so I can have a drink.

0:14:260:14:29

"Go out to the playground and get a leaf. Bring the leaves in.

0:14:290:14:32

"Don't bring the mud in, you stupid prick. Bring the leaves in.

0:14:320:14:35

"Hold up your leaves, draw your leaves,

0:14:350:14:37

"now trace your leaves, trace, trace, trace everything you can.

0:14:370:14:40

"Trace - you've got to be able to trace.

0:14:400:14:41

"You'll never be able to get a job unless you can trace.

0:14:410:14:44

"Trace all day! It's the most important skill in the world.

0:14:440:14:47

"And colour in within the lines.

0:14:470:14:48

"No-one will love you unless you can colour in within the lines.

0:14:480:14:51

-"Maybe that's why he left me!"

-LAUGHTER

0:14:510:14:55

"Do a bark rubbing, if you want, Lindsay, you show-off little bitch.

0:14:550:14:58

"All right, take your leaves and put them on the wall.

0:14:580:15:00

"Do them in the shape of a tree. Do it nicely, because it's for Open Day,

0:15:000:15:03

"which you don't understand, but my job depends on it.

0:15:030:15:07

"OK, now you're going to mummify a teddy bear.

0:15:070:15:09

"You're going to wrap your teddy bear in toilet paper,

0:15:090:15:12

"which also doubles as tracing paper.

0:15:120:15:14

"You're going to wrap your teddy bear in toilet paper.

0:15:140:15:16

"It teaches you nothing at all, but it keeps you quiet

0:15:160:15:18

"while I can do poppers.

0:15:180:15:20

"OK, now design a sarcophagus for your teddy bear,

0:15:200:15:22

"a coffin for your teddy bear, so we can all think about being dead.

0:15:220:15:25

"One day, we're all going to be dead, cold and dead in the ground,

0:15:250:15:28

"which I wish I was. I wish I was dead, you bunch of...

0:15:280:15:30

"Oh, my goodness, children, it's time to go out and play.

0:15:300:15:33

"Play, play, play, play, play."

0:15:330:15:34

APPLAUSE

0:15:340:15:36

Points go to, well, Tom Allen. Both of you, come back, thank you.

0:15:360:15:41

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:410:15:44

Our next round is called

0:15:470:15:48

If This Is The Answer, What Is The Question?

0:15:480:15:50

On the board are six categories.

0:15:500:15:52

-Tom, which category would you like?

-Health, please.

0:15:520:15:55

Health is the category and the answer is zero.

0:15:550:15:59

What is the question?

0:15:590:16:00

Is it how much the Leave campaign have guaranteed

0:16:000:16:04

for the NHS since we voted for Brexit?

0:16:040:16:07

LAUGHTER

0:16:070:16:09

Is it what is the current temperature

0:16:090:16:10

in Wayne Rooney's marital bedroom?

0:16:100:16:12

LAUGHTER AND GROANING

0:16:120:16:16

Is it how many fucks Mary Berry gives about the new Bake Off?

0:16:160:16:20

LAUGHTER

0:16:200:16:23

Complete the title of Katie Hopkins' biography -

0:16:230:16:26

From Zero To...?

0:16:260:16:28

LAUGHTER

0:16:280:16:30

Is it how many people were on board when I suggested people stop saying

0:16:300:16:33

they've found a lump on their testicle

0:16:330:16:34

and start saying "unexpected item in the bagging area"?

0:16:340:16:37

LAUGHTER

0:16:370:16:39

How many times did the Borrowers actually return the stuff

0:16:390:16:42

they supposedly borrowed?

0:16:420:16:44

LAUGHTER

0:16:440:16:46

Is it, if wee is one and poo is two,

0:16:460:16:49

what number indicates you're constipated?

0:16:490:16:53

LAUGHTER

0:16:530:16:55

How many of Jay-Z's problems are bitch related?

0:16:550:16:58

LAUGHTER

0:16:580:17:01

How old was I the last time I touched a vagina?

0:17:010:17:04

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:040:17:08

-Painful, that.

-Yeah.

-It's a painful applause.

-It is.

0:17:090:17:12

Is it, despite my best efforts, how many people have told me

0:17:120:17:16

I'm the wind beneath their wings?

0:17:160:17:18

LAUGHTER

0:17:180:17:21

Is it the amount of matches that girl on Tinder got

0:17:240:17:27

that threw her shit out of the window?

0:17:270:17:29

LAUGHTER

0:17:290:17:32

Is it how many people have wished me happy birthday today?

0:17:320:17:35

-AUDIENCE: Ah!

-It's not my birthday, it's fair enough.

0:17:350:17:38

LAUGHTER

0:17:380:17:39

How much will Arsenal get for Alexis Sanchez next summer?

0:17:390:17:42

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:420:17:46

OK, I didn't have the correct answer

0:17:460:17:48

of what zero was in the news this week.

0:17:480:17:50

It's by how much has the average life expectancy of women

0:17:500:17:54

gone up in the UK in the last few years?

0:17:540:17:56

You're absolutely right. Thank you very much, Hugh.

0:17:560:17:58

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:17:580:18:01

Yes, the question I was looking for was,

0:18:010:18:03

what increase in life expectancy did British women see in recent years?

0:18:030:18:06

Amongst British men, life expectancy increased by 0.08%.

0:18:060:18:11

-Whoa! Take that, ladies!

-Suck it.

0:18:110:18:13

Analysis reveals that, while life expectancy

0:18:130:18:15

in the rest of Europe continues to surge,

0:18:150:18:17

Britain's progress between 2011 and 2015 stalled.

0:18:170:18:20

What is the life expectancy in this country, do you know?

0:18:200:18:23

Er, it is 8... No, I don't know.

0:18:230:18:26

LAUGHTER

0:18:260:18:27

79, is it for...? 83, isn't it?

0:18:270:18:29

For women, yeah. But for men, it's 79.

0:18:290:18:31

Whereas in other countries, in Ireland, for example,

0:18:310:18:33

-it's 80 for men.

-Wow, what a difference!

0:18:330:18:36

Well, I'm sorry, you won't be saying that when I move there at 79.

0:18:360:18:40

LAUGHTER

0:18:400:18:42

-Another year - ha-ha-ha!

-Well, if you move there at 79,

0:18:420:18:45

-I will have been dead for quite a long time.

-You should go now.

0:18:450:18:48

-Hugh, you should go now.

-I'll attend your funeral, Hugh.

0:18:480:18:52

I'll give a speech.

0:18:520:18:53

I'll say, "Hugh always told me I was the wind beneath his wings."

0:18:530:18:56

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:18:560:19:00

This is all a concern of one bloke, though.

0:19:020:19:04

This story's in the news because of one bloke, isn't it?

0:19:040:19:07

He said that this is as big a crisis as any other in the NHS.

0:19:070:19:11

You go, "You just want to cheer up, mate." Don't you think?

0:19:110:19:14

Because worrying like that is not good for your health.

0:19:140:19:17

If you look at Kim Jong-un, right, he lives a little,

0:19:180:19:22

he eats a lot, because he knows the world could end tomorrow.

0:19:220:19:26

LAUGHTER

0:19:260:19:28

My husband is nine years older than me.

0:19:280:19:30

I would quite like the male average life expectancy to come down

0:19:300:19:34

because that means the sooner I get the house and the pension, so...

0:19:340:19:37

We're very much in love, thank you.

0:19:370:19:40

In other news, what have doctors in the UK warned about?

0:19:400:19:44

Henry VIII's back.

0:19:440:19:46

LAUGHTER

0:19:460:19:48

Is it where people check their symptoms on the internet

0:19:480:19:51

-and get...

-Yes, it's cyberchondria.

0:19:510:19:53

I'd never heard of cyberchondria and then I looked it up

0:19:530:19:56

and realised it's the only illness I don't have.

0:19:560:19:58

I've been a massive hypochondriac, big time.

0:19:590:20:02

My doctor hated me, this guy. One time, I remember him looking at me.

0:20:020:20:06

I was standing there and he went, "That is your hip."

0:20:060:20:09

LAUGHTER

0:20:090:20:11

Were you going, "It's sticking out"?

0:20:110:20:13

Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing.

0:20:130:20:15

-Really?

-You said that as a joke just then.

0:20:150:20:17

I was literally going, "Why is this sticking out?"

0:20:170:20:20

And he was like, through gritted teeth, "That is your hip."

0:20:200:20:25

"You notice you've got one on the other side."

0:20:250:20:27

Argh, argh, argh! LAUGHTER

0:20:270:20:30

And I got cured by him, eventually.

0:20:300:20:33

I was seeing another doctor and it was a lady doctor

0:20:330:20:36

and I'd got convinced...

0:20:360:20:38

But if you're a hypochondriac for long enough,

0:20:380:20:41

eventually you are convinced that that something is...

0:20:410:20:43

you haven't got a normal D.

0:20:430:20:46

So, I was like, "You've got to look at it.

0:20:460:20:49

"I swear, it's the worst."

0:20:490:20:52

She said - and I've checked with other doctors about this,

0:20:520:20:55

and, apparently, they've said this is not standard protocol -

0:20:550:20:59

she said, "I can't look at that on my own.

0:20:590:21:02

"I've got to get someone else in."

0:21:020:21:04

So, she got - and this is definitely not on - the receptionist.

0:21:040:21:09

LAUGHTER

0:21:090:21:12

She came in, I showed it to both of them.

0:21:140:21:17

The receptionist had no comment to make whatsoever.

0:21:180:21:21

The doctor said, "That's fine."

0:21:210:21:22

Cos I was like, "I don't want to ever come back here again,"

0:21:220:21:25

I was, like, "Are you sure?" She went, "I'll get another doctor in."

0:21:250:21:27

So, a third person came in and it was the guy who I'd shown my hip to.

0:21:270:21:31

He came in and he took one look at me

0:21:310:21:33

and was like, "Oh, of course it's you!

0:21:330:21:36

"Only you would have three people in here looking at your dick."

0:21:360:21:39

LAUGHTER

0:21:390:21:41

And he grabbed it and very dismissively went, "That's fine!"

0:21:410:21:44

And I was, like, "I'm never going to the doctor's ever again."

0:21:440:21:47

And that's how I got cured of it, eventually,

0:21:470:21:50

is cos I just felt so humiliated.

0:21:500:21:51

Also, it's very difficult to go to the doctor's again

0:21:510:21:53

when the receptionist has seen your penis.

0:21:530:21:55

The problem I've got, I'm not a hypochondriac, I'm just ill, always.

0:21:570:22:00

I've got the immune system it looks like I've got.

0:22:000:22:03

-The other day...

-ELLIE LAUGHS

0:22:030:22:05

You do look sort of like the ghost of a Victorian child.

0:22:050:22:09

LAUGHTER

0:22:090:22:11

It's all adding up. A Tudor perhaps?

0:22:110:22:14

The other day, I had to take a heartburn tablet

0:22:140:22:16

because I'd got heartburn from taking a hay fever tablet.

0:22:160:22:19

LAUGHTER

0:22:190:22:21

Moving on, why was this lady back in the news?

0:22:210:22:24

Because we put the picture through some software

0:22:240:22:26

and it turns out she's gay.

0:22:260:22:28

LAUGHTER

0:22:280:22:30

That would be an enormously surprising result

0:22:300:22:33

if that case turned out.

0:22:330:22:34

It turns out that the photographer who owns the camera,

0:22:340:22:37

who set up the camera, put all the settings into the camera,

0:22:370:22:41

is the owner of photograph and not the animal that pressed the button.

0:22:410:22:46

Basically, a monkey took a selfie,

0:22:460:22:48

which could be the tag line for Instagram.

0:22:480:22:51

LAUGHTER

0:22:510:22:52

What is astonishing,

0:22:520:22:54

is that this legal battle with a man versus a monkey has taken two years

0:22:540:22:59

and we think we can sort out Brexit in less time than that.

0:22:590:23:02

LAUGHTER

0:23:020:23:04

Yeah, but it only took two years cos his lawyer was a sloth.

0:23:040:23:07

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:23:070:23:11

And at the end of round, points go to Ed, Ellie and Rhys.

0:23:130:23:16

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:160:23:19

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

0:23:210:23:24

so can everyone make their way over to the performance area, please?

0:23:240:23:27

I'll read out this week's topics

0:23:270:23:29

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

0:23:290:23:32

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

0:23:320:23:35

unlikely lines from a sci-fi film.

0:23:350:23:37

Oh, my God! He's come back through the portal!

0:23:390:23:42

Who? Henry VIII.

0:23:420:23:44

LAUGHTER

0:23:440:23:46

BUZZER

0:23:460:23:47

This is a problem, sir.

0:23:470:23:49

I launched a four-tonne torpedo

0:23:490:23:51

but it wouldn't flush.

0:23:510:23:53

LAUGHTER

0:23:530:23:54

BUZZER

0:23:540:23:56

I felt a terrible disturbance in the force, like a million voices...

0:24:000:24:03

Oh, no, it's just wind. Sorry.

0:24:030:24:05

LAUGHTER

0:24:050:24:07

BUZZER

0:24:070:24:08

We've shot down one of the flying saucers

0:24:080:24:11

and now there's rice paper and sherbert everywhere.

0:24:110:24:14

LAUGHTER

0:24:140:24:16

BUZZER

0:24:160:24:17

I can't fly this thing without a manual.

0:24:170:24:20

Forget about Emmanuel - he's not coming back!

0:24:200:24:22

LAUGHTER

0:24:220:24:23

BUZZER

0:24:230:24:25

You've eaten Han Solo?

0:24:250:24:28

Oh, Chewie, that was a Wookiee mistake.

0:24:280:24:31

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
