0:00:23 > 0:00:30APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:32 > 0:00:37Goodbye, and thanks.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Thanks for coming to IQ.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Tonight, we're in opposite world,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43where everything you thought was right

0:00:43 > 0:00:46is either wrong or left, and vice versa.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Or it might be the other way round.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Anyway, up in reverse order,

0:00:50 > 0:00:51these are not my guests.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53On the contrary, Sara Pascoe.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:58 > 0:00:59No way, it's Jimmy Carr.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:03 > 0:01:06It definitely can't be Colin Lane.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:10 > 0:01:13And I can't believe it's not Davies Alan, but it is.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:20 > 0:01:22So, because we're doing opposites tonight,

0:01:22 > 0:01:25every time you get something wrong, you get a bonus.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Ah. - LAUGHTER

0:01:26 > 0:01:29That's good, isn't it?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Alan's big night. LAUGHTER

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Let's listen to the buzzers. Sara goes...

0:01:34 > 0:01:36# Night and day... #

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- That's nice. Fits with our theme. - Classy. Beautiful.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Jimmy goes...

0:01:49 > 0:01:51# Love and marriage, love and marriage... #

0:01:51 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER

0:01:54 > 0:01:56They're not really opposites, are they?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- What, love and marriage?- Yeah.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59- If you're doing it right.- Oh.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER

0:02:01 > 0:02:02And Alan goes...

0:02:02 > 0:02:04# In, out, in, out

0:02:04 > 0:02:06# In, out, in, out

0:02:06 > 0:02:09# In, out, in, out Shake it all about... #

0:02:09 > 0:02:11LAUGHTER

0:02:11 > 0:02:13APPLAUSE

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Very base level Kama Sutra there.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20LAUGHTER

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Oh, dear.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25"In, out, in, out, in, out, shake it all about," you'll be fine.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26LAUGHTER

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Anyway, rather than getting to business,

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- we should do the opposite and have some fun...- Woohoo!

0:02:31 > 0:02:33..so I've got some alcopops, like this.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35I've got some... Look at these.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- There's your balloons.- Thank you.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41And I've got fun chocolates. LAUGHTER

0:02:41 > 0:02:43There's another balloon for you.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK. So, here's the thing...

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Sorry, I've dropped mine. - ..it's party time...

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Oh, you've dropped your balloon.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Hang on a minute.- Jimmy's going to be a silly billy.- No, don't.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54LAUGHTER

0:02:54 > 0:02:57APPLAUSE

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'll do it.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, thanks, Colin.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Sorry.- Yes?- If you just...

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Could you hold up the red balloon for a second there?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Cos it'll look like a Banksy.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11LAUGHTER

0:03:11 > 0:03:13There you go.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:18 > 0:03:20That took the... Party time, OK?

0:03:20 > 0:03:21Oh, yeah, here we go.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24You are driving home from the shops, you are so excited.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- That's good, isn't it, Colin? - Oh, that's me!

0:03:26 > 0:03:28ALL: Aww!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30You're so excited that, unfortunately,

0:03:30 > 0:03:31- you crash into a tree.- Oh.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32LAUGHTER

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yeah. I want to know what happens to the helium balloons?

0:03:35 > 0:03:36- They...- Well, I'm more worried about him!

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- LAUGHTER - Yeah. What about me? What about me?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Yes.- Yeah, that's quite heartless.- Yeah, sorry.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43If the helium balloons pop and then you ring the ambulance,

0:03:43 > 0:03:46they won't believe you, they'll think you're doing a prank call.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47LAUGHTER

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Because you'll sound like a silly boy.- Yes.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Alan, what were you going to say?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- They're going to keep going. - Which way?

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Up?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57KLAXON BLARES

0:03:57 > 0:04:00LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Is it something to do with the airbag?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Cos the airbag's going to get released

0:04:04 > 0:04:06and then there's another gas in the car.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- So, do they fall in love... - LAUGHTER

0:04:09 > 0:04:10..and run away together?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- No, it's nothing to do with the airbag.- OK.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- So, helium less dense than air.- Yeah.- All right.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17So, everything else is going to get thrown forward,

0:04:17 > 0:04:19the alcopops and chocolates are going to get thrown forward,

0:04:19 > 0:04:20They stay still.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23KLAXON BLARES

0:04:23 > 0:04:25This is a stupid show!

0:04:25 > 0:04:26LAUGHTER

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- They go down, they go down. - No.- They go backwards.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- They go down. They go down. - They go backwards!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Backwards.- They go backwards, they go backwards.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34# Ivory...

0:04:34 > 0:04:36They go backwards.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Then, when you accelerate,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40what's going to happen to the helium balloon?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Cos the helium balloon's gone backwards.- They'll go sideways.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44- They're going to go...- Up.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- ..the same, they're going to go forwards.- Forwards.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Yes, they're going to go forwards.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Exactly.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK, so enough party time, let's put things away.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Cos there's a limit to the amount of fun you're allowed. There you go.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57OK, so we're doing opposites, what's the opposite of monopoly?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Fun.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00LAUGHTER

0:05:00 > 0:05:03The danger of thinking it's fun.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yeah. Extra point.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, monopoly, a single supplier holding consumers to ransom.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09So, what we're looking for is a single consumer

0:05:09 > 0:05:11who can hold suppliers to ransom. It's called a monopsony.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13And is the opposite of monopoly, it's possibly...

0:05:13 > 0:05:16I love the way you kept going with that question

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- and that, never in a million years, were we going to get it. - LAUGHTER

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I did economics A-level for a year and that's what it felt like.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23LAUGHTER

0:05:23 > 0:05:24So, what's an example?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28So, the BBC, for example, has a monopsony on radio drama, right?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Lots of people want to write it, lots of people want to be in it,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33but, pretty much, the BBC are the only people who produce it.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35So, there are lots and lots of suppliers,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- but there's only one consumer. - And one listener.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40LAUGHTER

0:05:40 > 0:05:42She's very lonely.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- She's very lonely.- She's doing the washing up, she's fine.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48She can't afford a telly. She just can't afford one.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- She won't be seeing this. - LAUGHTER

0:05:51 > 0:05:54So, a single passenger, say, disembarking from a train,

0:05:54 > 0:05:56and there's lots of taxis waiting,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58that would be another example. There's only one consumer

0:05:58 > 0:06:01and everybody is vying for their custom, so it's a monopsony.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05So, monopsony is the opposite of monopoly, but nobody ever uses it.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07And there are lots of words called orphaned negatives.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09So, these are words that have the opposites,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12but nobody uses them, they are now obsolete.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16So, what would be the opposite of ineffable?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Effable.- Effable.- Effable. - Effable, but nobody ever uses it,

0:06:19 > 0:06:21- it's a perfectly good word, isn't it?- I've heard people say that.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Effable? It's not effable?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25"Oh, he's got nice trousers on today.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- He's totally eff-able. - LAUGHTER

0:06:27 > 0:06:29In that sense.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31APPLAUSE

0:06:31 > 0:06:34In polite company.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Yeah, well, funny and...

0:06:35 > 0:06:36- thank you. - LAUGHTER

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I really appreciate it.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40They're very roomy.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41But there are a lot of good ones.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Incessant, so cessant.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Nobody talks about cessant any more.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47There's a weird thing about this word, OK?

0:06:47 > 0:06:48What it tells you in the dictionary

0:06:48 > 0:06:50is that "cessant" hasn't been used since 1701.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52What happened that year?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54They thought, "Do you know? I'm done with that word."

0:06:54 > 0:06:56What about, for you, what about disdain?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, yes, the opposite of being a good Dane, yes, a disdain.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01LAUGHTER

0:07:01 > 0:07:05ALAN AND COLIN: Dis Dane, dat Dane.

0:07:05 > 0:07:11- Dis Dane.- Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Nocent, anybody?

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Yes-cent.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18LAUGHTER

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Innocent.- Innocent. - Innocent, so a nocent...

0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Yeah, a nocent was a criminal. - Oh.- In-nocent.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Until about the 17th century,

0:07:23 > 0:07:25so nocentem, Latin meaning "to harm".

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Is nonchalant...

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- chalant?- Chalant. I suppose...

0:07:28 > 0:07:29- Chalant.- Yes.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'm going to refer to you as chalant, I like that.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- I think that sounds rather good. - Chalant.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yeah, chalant and effable.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37LAUGHTER

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Stop it, you.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42To be fair, Jimmy, I had to have it pointed out to me.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44LAUGHTER

0:07:44 > 0:07:47APPLAUSE

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Inflammable?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Oh, I hate... inflammable and flammable?- Hmm.- Same thing.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56It is exactly the same thing, it's not an orphan negative at all.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58In fact, the opposite of flammable is non-flammable.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00"Explosif."

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- I beg your pardon? - Just... Just reading.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Oh, explosif. LAUGHTER

0:08:05 > 0:08:07It used to be inflammable cos it comes from the Latin inflammare.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But they adopted flammable deliberately in the 20th century,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12because, honestly, inflammable seemed ambiguous,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15so that is one of the reasons why we now say flammable

0:08:15 > 0:08:16- and then non-flammable.- Oh.- Right.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Anybody know what a contronym is?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, so it's like synonym?

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Yeah?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Antonym?- Antonyms, yes.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26So, it's a word that is also its own opposite.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29So, screen, which means to show - like screen a film -

0:08:29 > 0:08:31and screen also means to hide.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Yeah, hide. That's nice. - Another example, bound.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35So fastened to the spot and also heading somewhere.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Oh, that's good, isn't it? - That's really nice.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- They're good, aren't they, contronyms? Do you like this?- Yes.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Fast, so moving quickly, and stuck and unable to move. It's the two...

0:08:43 > 0:08:46And also, I always with fast food, to fast is not to eat.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- And then also to eat loads really cheaply.- Yeah, there you go.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49LAUGHTER

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Contronyms... I think we may need marijuana for this.- Yeah.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54LAUGHTER

0:08:54 > 0:08:56It appears to me like this should be a conversation that happens like,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- "Yeah, man, fast."- Yeah.- Yeah. - "Yeah."- "Cos it's like..."

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- "But, no, man, fast food." - LAUGHTER

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I love that your impression of someone on drugs

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- means you've never taken them. - LAUGHTER

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Antigrams.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Anybody know what an antigram is?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12It is the opposite of a gram.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14LAUGHTER

0:09:14 > 0:09:17So, these are words where, if you do an anagram,

0:09:17 > 0:09:21the anagram itself has the opposite meaning to the original word.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- So...- Impossible!- Whoa!

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yeah. Dormitories, tidier rooms, is one, there's one.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Customers, I like this one,

0:09:27 > 0:09:29the anagram is store scum.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:34 > 0:09:36There's a few people out there work in retail.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40LAUGHTER

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Here's another one, an antigram.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43A volunteer fireman -

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I never run to a flame.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47LAUGHTER

0:09:47 > 0:09:49And forty-five is an anagram

0:09:49 > 0:09:50of over fifty.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52LAUGHTER

0:09:52 > 0:09:54That's just a woman lying, basically.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55LAUGHTER

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Now, you'll need to sort the sheep from the goats.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01So, let's play...

0:10:08 > 0:10:10This has really dumbed down, hasn't it?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- LAUGHTER - I like it, I like it.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15This show used to be something. I mean...

0:10:15 > 0:10:18What is the difference between a sheep and a goat?

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I think it's something that they do, rather than what they look like.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23- OK. What do you think it is that they do?- Jumping.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I think... I love that clip so much when people are doing yoga...

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Yeah.- ..and the goats are jumping on them.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And I've never seen a sheep...

0:10:30 > 0:10:32LAUGHTER

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Seriously? - You've not seen this?- No...

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Basically, there's all these people and they're doing downward dogs,

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- and then tiny goats... - I'm going to stop you right there.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42LAUGHTER

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- They're doing yoga poses... - Oh, I see.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45- ..with their bums in the air...- Right.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48..and goats are just jumping on them, like they're hillocks,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50from person to person. It went crazy.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52What kind of a class is that?!

0:10:52 > 0:10:53But the problem is...

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- So, you're supposed to be so focused on your yoga...- Yes.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- ..you ignore the goats... - Don't notice the goats.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..and the goats are just, like, having a crazy great time. - LAUGHTER

0:11:01 > 0:11:02This is everything I hate about yoga.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04LAUGHTER

0:11:04 > 0:11:06There's goats jumping on your arse

0:11:06 > 0:11:08and you don't go, "Ha-ha."

0:11:08 > 0:11:10That's craziness.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11You can, but then you're bad at yoga.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13LAUGHTER

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Can I just say...? - Whereas the sheep...

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Yeah, don't go to yoga. LAUGHTER

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Perhaps more pilates be more for sheep.- Yeah.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I've never seen a sheep jump. That's my point.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I think goats are very agile. - Sheep can jump.- Sheep jump?- Yes.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27- They can jump.- Yeah, they jump over...- In your dreams!

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Because sometimes they jump for no reason at all. - LAUGHTER

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Can I just say, my game has not gone where I was expecting, all right? LAUGHTER

0:11:34 > 0:11:36The simplest way to tell them apart

0:11:36 > 0:11:38is that goats' tails point upwards.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39That is the easiest way.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's almost like they're asking for it.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44LAUGHTER

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Don't listen to him, he's a bad man!

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- That is a kind of...- That's why they have the horns, right?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- That's the whole point of the horns.- Yeah.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53- AUDIENCE GROANS - Don't listen to him either!

0:11:53 > 0:11:55They're both terrible men.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57So sorry.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58You've ruined the yoga class.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00LAUGHTER

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Everything's ruined.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, another clear distinction is kind of a martial arts style.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07So, rams back up and charge in order to butt heads,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09whereas billies will rear up.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Look at that, that's fantastic.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- They'll rear up on their hind legs and try and nut their opponent.- OK.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16And when the two species fight each other,

0:12:16 > 0:12:17the ram's style gives an advantage,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20cos he hits the billy in the middle, amidships there.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22But also, another difference between them is...

0:12:22 > 0:12:24they look different.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27LAUGHTER

0:12:27 > 0:12:28Look different.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Spelt differently.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Tails.- They have different names. - Different names.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34OK.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Let's find out whether you're right,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38whether it is in fact cos they look different,

0:12:38 > 0:12:39as we play...

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Sorting The Sheep From The Goats!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Yay! - CHEERING

0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm telling you, Jimmy, you're going to be hosting this before long,

0:12:50 > 0:12:52this quiz show. LAUGHTER

0:12:52 > 0:12:55OK, here we go, first picture.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Goat.- Sheep, sheep. - KLAXON

0:12:58 > 0:13:00In your face!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02You had it, it's a sheep.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04The giveaway is the long, floppy ears there.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- That's definitely a sheep. OK. - And the fact that it's a sheep.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09LAUGHTER All right. Next one.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Ah.- Oh.- Sheep.

0:13:11 > 0:13:16LAUGHTER

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Colin, say the opposite of what it looks like, I think that's the game.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21- Say the opposite.- A dog.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24It's an angora goat. Next one.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26What are we going for?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm saying sheep cos it looks like a goat.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31OK, the main reason we know it's a sheep is because the tail is down.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33OK, next one.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35What do we reckon about this one?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38LAUGHTER

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Pig sheep.- It is a pig.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44It's a curly-coated Mangalica from Austria or the borders of Hungary.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Actually, the really extraordinary thing was,

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I talked about sheep's tails hanging down,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50so about a quarter of the world's sheep

0:13:50 > 0:13:52are what they call "fat-tailed" varieties,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54so they store fat in their tails.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55- Whoa!- They've got booties.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Yeah, just like a camel stores fat.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Can we show that? - LAUGHTER

0:14:01 > 0:14:03So, they store fat in their tails,

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- rather like the camel stores it in their hump...- Yeah.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08..and there are various sources, so Pliny the Elder,

0:14:08 > 0:14:09- right up to Bruce Chatwin.- Oh.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12They state that some of these sheep were actually fitted

0:14:12 > 0:14:15with a wheeled trolley to carry their tails around behind them...

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Ah, the...- Oh.- ..because there was so much fat in them.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19The Kardashian sheep, yes.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21LAUGHTER

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I am familiar.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Now, what's the opposite

0:14:25 > 0:14:27of a plant-eating sheep?

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- A plant that grows sheep. - It's a sheep.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34LAUGHTER

0:14:34 > 0:14:36See, just when I think what I said is really clear...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39LAUGHTER

0:14:39 > 0:14:41You now sound like a vegan who's really hungry.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42LAUGHTER

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- The opposite of a plant-eating sheep would be a...?- A sheep-eating plant.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Yes. Yes.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well done, Colin.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Colin, I'm just going to remind you, I said at the beginning...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Yes?- ..the more you get wrong, the more points you get.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I don't know if that's going to affect you in any way.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06LAUGHTER

0:15:06 > 0:15:09So, there is said to be a sheep-eating plant.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11It is called the Puya chilensis. There it is.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Same family as the pineapple.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15- And what it does... - It sounds like...

0:15:15 > 0:15:17This is someone that's stolen a sheep

0:15:17 > 0:15:19and his friend's gone, "Where's my sheep?"

0:15:19 > 0:15:21And he's gone, "What, your sheep?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- "It was the bloody plant, mate." - LAUGHTER

0:15:23 > 0:15:25"Bloody... Oh, you should have been here."

0:15:25 > 0:15:27"Don't take your eyes off that pineapple."

0:15:27 > 0:15:29LAUGHTER

0:15:29 > 0:15:32So what happens is, the sheep gets entangled in its spiny leaves

0:15:32 > 0:15:34and then the sheep starves to death.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36THEY ALL GROAN

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Then the animal decays and it takes the nutrients,

0:15:39 > 0:15:40as it decays, into the soil.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44There is one in Surrey, at the Royal Horticultural Society in Wisley.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48In 2013, it bloomed for the very first time in 15 years.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49The spokesman said,

0:15:49 > 0:15:52"We keep it well fed with liquid fertiliser,

0:15:52 > 0:15:56"as feeding it on its natural diet might prove a bit problematic."

0:15:56 > 0:15:58LAUGHTER

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Now, this is a human optogram.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04What does it prove?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05I always thought optograms

0:16:05 > 0:16:07was that thing where they could look in your eye

0:16:07 > 0:16:08and see who had murdered you.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12- What now?- This was, like, before, like, DNA and stuff.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14And they were like, oh, no...

0:16:14 > 0:16:16I think we always had DNA, it's really...

0:16:16 > 0:16:17- LAUGHTER - Yeah, but it's not...

0:16:17 > 0:16:21- More like before we knew about it. - We could test it, yeah.- Yes, OK.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23So, it was like, "Oh, I'm a Victorian policeman,

0:16:23 > 0:16:24"this woman's died.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25"I know, we'll get her eyes out,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27"have a look on the retina,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29"the last thing she's seen, that'll be the killer."

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Was that, like, a commonly held belief?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, it began in the 17th century.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35So, there was a priest called Christoph Scheiner,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38and he'd claimed he had seen the image of a flame

0:16:38 > 0:16:40on the retina of a frog that he had been dissecting.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44So, then you get the development of photography, so that's about 1840s,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46and that seemed to provide a, sort of,

0:16:46 > 0:16:47theoretical basis for this notion.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50There was a German physiologist called Wilhelm Kuhne.

0:16:50 > 0:16:531878, he immobilised a rabbit

0:16:53 > 0:16:56and forced it to look at a window for three minutes.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Then he decapitated it,

0:16:58 > 0:17:00cut open the eye and, the next day,

0:17:00 > 0:17:03he said that the retina dried and revealed an image of the window.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05That was the last thing that the rabbit had been staring at.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Bullshit. - LAUGHTER

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Right, so he was able...

0:17:09 > 0:17:10- So, he was...- Rubbish!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12He was able to reveal that he killed the rabbit?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14- LAUGHTER - Yes.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16That's a bit of luck. I could have saved him a bit of time there.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17LAUGHTER

0:17:17 > 0:17:201880, he decided to repeat this experiment

0:17:20 > 0:17:21with the head of a guillotined murderer,

0:17:21 > 0:17:23a man called Erhard Gustav Reif,

0:17:23 > 0:17:25and his left eye was dissected

0:17:25 > 0:17:26ten minutes after he died,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29and the resulting optogram is that picture that we saw

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- at the very beginning... - Oh, so it's the guillotine.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yes, so it's been suggested it's the blade of the guillotine.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It seems very unlikely, he was blindfolded at the time.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38LAUGHTER

0:17:38 > 0:17:40The last bit of toast he had.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41LAUGHTER

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Unfortunately, all we have is that sketch.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45We don't have the actual image.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, this idea about optograms was taken up by fictional writers,

0:17:48 > 0:17:50so Jules Verne and some of the popular press,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52and it appears, because this was widely believed,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54that some killers took the precaution

0:17:54 > 0:17:56of taking their victims' eyes with them,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- to make sure there was no photo. - They seem really, principally,

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- to be concerned with her hat in that picture.- Yes.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05LAUGHTER

0:18:05 > 0:18:07"Where's her hat?" "I think it's over there."

0:18:07 > 0:18:08LAUGHTER

0:18:08 > 0:18:11"I can't reach it!"

0:18:11 > 0:18:14"Take a step nearer."

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Do you know where Albert Einstein's eyeballs are?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- They weren't buried with him?- No.

0:18:19 > 0:18:221955, they were removed during his autopsy

0:18:22 > 0:18:23and they were given as a gift

0:18:23 > 0:18:25to his personal physician Henry Abrams.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Oh, and they made the first one of those desk toys.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31LAUGHTER

0:18:31 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Oh, my God!

0:18:37 > 0:18:40As far as we know, they're in a safe deposit box in New York City

0:18:40 > 0:18:41but there's quite a thing of it.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Do you know where Napoleon's penis is?

0:18:43 > 0:18:44LAUGHTER

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Is it Wellington's house?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Again, we're not entirely sure.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50It was taken off at the autopsy

0:18:50 > 0:18:52and then it was, sort of, displayed around the world,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55and much mocked for its size. ALAN MAKES POPPING SOUND

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Yes. LAUGHTER

0:18:58 > 0:18:59And in the end,

0:18:59 > 0:19:02a urologist in New Jersey, called Dr John Lattimer,

0:19:02 > 0:19:04he bought it and he was so upset

0:19:04 > 0:19:06at people teasing Napoleon's penis - I mean, weird -

0:19:06 > 0:19:08he had a special box made

0:19:08 > 0:19:10and it's in the family home in New Jersey, as far as we know.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I was in a very strange store in the East End of London,

0:19:13 > 0:19:16and the last man that was hanged in Britain,

0:19:16 > 0:19:17they have his penis for sale.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Do they? How much is it? - How much? Yes.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21LAUGHTER

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah. And was he hung?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25LAUGHTER

0:19:25 > 0:19:29APPLAUSE

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Perfect.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Anyway. Here is a simple one.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Who's the opposite of Tarzan?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Yes?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Nazrat.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43KLAXON BLARES

0:19:43 > 0:19:46LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Yes, OK, I'll have a crack.- Yes, OK?

0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Yes?- So, it's going to be a wild...

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Like, an ape raised in a city.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- So, Wayne Rooney, Liam Gallagher? - LAUGHTER

0:19:59 > 0:20:02They shave and they walk upright, but it's not good, is it?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04- They should be with their own kind.- Well, in a...

0:20:04 > 0:20:06LAUGHTER

0:20:06 > 0:20:07In a way, you're right.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10The opposite is an ape brought up as an English gentlemen,

0:20:10 > 0:20:13and there was such a thing. It was a lowland gorilla, who was...

0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Oh, my God, he looks so human! - LAUGHTER

0:20:16 > 0:20:19It was a lowland gorilla orphaned by hunters in the Gabon.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22He was put up for sale in the Derry & Toms department store.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25He was known as John Daniel. He was bought, in 1918, for £300.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, that's about £20,000 today.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30He was bought by Major Rupert Penny

0:20:30 > 0:20:32and entrusted to his sister, Alyce Cunningham.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35And he lived in a country house in Gloucestershire. Why not?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37And he was brought up as a boy, not as a gorilla.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Although, I say a boy fond of drinking whisky and port.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43He was fed on children.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- No, went to the village school. - How did he do?

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Well, this is the thing,

0:20:47 > 0:20:49he was quite good at making his own bed,

0:20:49 > 0:20:51he was quite good at doing the washing-up.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53He could use light switches and the lavatory.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Oh, was it one of those Montessori schools?- Yeah.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58LAUGHTER

0:20:58 > 0:20:59He preferred the company of women.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01When there was a group of men,

0:21:01 > 0:21:02- he would urinate on them, which is not...- Oh!

0:21:02 > 0:21:03LAUGHTER

0:21:03 > 0:21:06And he would walk into people's houses and help himself to cider.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09LAUGHTER It's actually kind of a sad story

0:21:09 > 0:21:12because, eventually, he grew too big and Alyce couldn't manage him,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14and she sold him to an American for 1,000 guineas,

0:21:14 > 0:21:17and she thought he was going to have a wonderful life in Florida.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20But, in fact, he was made to join the Barnum and Bailey circus

0:21:20 > 0:21:22- and was displayed in a zoo in Madison...- Aww.- Hey, hey, hey.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Yeah, yes.- Let's try and focus on the positive - show business.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27He got into show business.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29And his health deteriorated,

0:21:29 > 0:21:31and Alyce was sent a telegram to say that John Daniel was pining for her.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33She set sail for America

0:21:33 > 0:21:35but, very sadly, he died of pneumonia before she arrived,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- aged just four and...- Oh! - Yes, it's a really sad story.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41And he was given to the American Natural History Museum,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43where you can still see his body displayed.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44But he did...

0:21:44 > 0:21:46For that brief period of time, he was a boy in Gloucestershire

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- growing up.- Living as a boy. - Living as a boy, yeah.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50But a chimpanzee is all right

0:21:50 > 0:21:53until they get to about a year old, and then they'll rip your arm off.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Well, here is the thing... - That's the trouble.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58And tigers are like that. We had a tiger on Jonathan Creek, right?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01And they brought this tiger in with a chain, and about three handlers.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04And they said, "Will Alan do a photo with the tiger?"

0:22:04 > 0:22:07So, I was a bit apprehensive, and I said, "Are you sure?

0:22:07 > 0:22:10- "I mean, it doesn't know me."- Yeah. - They said, "Oh, no, it's fine.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13"They're not really a danger until they're about 12 months old."

0:22:13 > 0:22:15I said, "Oh, good, good. How old is this one?"

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- And he goes, "It's 11 months." - LAUGHTER

0:22:18 > 0:22:20OK. Here for the audience, ready?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22By a cheer,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24who's fed up with austerity?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27CHEERING

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Me too. So, time to take the opposite tack, I reckon.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Let's have a bit of ostentatious consumption.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, I've got some menus here, for you, from a Chinese restaurant.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Chinese takeaway, Col? - Oh, excellent.- There you go.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Chinese takeaway. - Now, the Kangxi Emperor,

0:22:40 > 0:22:41who ruled China around 1700,

0:22:41 > 0:22:44was THE most ostentatious eater of all time.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46So, here is my question,

0:22:46 > 0:22:49which of his eight mountain delicacies do you fancy?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Leopard foetus?- Yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53And this... And these are... These are...

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I can't...

0:22:55 > 0:22:57The vegan can't talk any more, she's having a panic attack!

0:22:57 > 0:22:59LAUGHTER

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I don't think there's anything here for me.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02LAUGHTER

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Well, apart from the... - Are we not having a seaweed?

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Well, there is vegetarian stuff here, there's the boar's testicles.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11You don't necessarily have to kill the boar for those.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- That isn't how veganism works.- Oh. - LAUGHTER

0:23:13 > 0:23:16It is an actual menu from the birthday of the Kangxi Emperor.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19He called it the Manchu Han Imperial Feast,

0:23:19 > 0:23:22so it's kind of like a fusion-style blowout, really.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Because he was trying to reconcile rival factions

0:23:24 > 0:23:28so he was showcasing both the Manchu and the Han cuisine.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29The meal lasted for three days,

0:23:29 > 0:23:32there were six successive banquets,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35124 starters and 196 main courses.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37The seafood platter included

0:23:37 > 0:23:38sea slug, fish tripe,

0:23:38 > 0:23:41swallow's nest, shark's fin and fish bones.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43But it was the mountain delicacies that really pushed the boat out,

0:23:43 > 0:23:46that was your leopard foetus and your camel's hump and so on.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49So, that is your consignment of general knowledge for this week.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Now it's time for the opposite, General Ignorance,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- fingers on buzzers, please. - Ah, too easy, come on.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55This is a telescope called Amanda.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57She's at the South Pole.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01So, first of all, what constellation must she be pointing at?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03# Ivory... #

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Southern Cross.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08KLAXON BLARES

0:24:08 > 0:24:14Amanda is the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16is what Amanda stands for.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19So, what might Amanda be pointing at?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Is someone getting changed nearby?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Or is she checking out her ex boyfriend?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26So, we're playing Opposites, right, it wasn't Southern Cross.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Oh.- North... The North Pole.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yes, she is pointing towards the northern sky,

0:24:30 > 0:24:32so she's pointing towards, what would we have?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Ursa Major. Polaris.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36The same is true of an even bigger one,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38the Ice Cube Cosmic Neutrino Detector.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42So, the thing about this is, although she's at the South Pole,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45she's actually pointing down into the ground.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47So, she is pointing towards the northern skies.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Why didn't they just put it at the North Pole?

0:24:49 > 0:24:51LAUGHTER

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Because she's designed to detect neutrinos.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Oh!- These are really, really small, sub-atomic particles.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59They don't interact with matter.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01So, they normally pass straight through the planet.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Me neither, to be honest.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05LAUGHTER

0:25:05 > 0:25:07They're teeny, tiny particles

0:25:07 > 0:25:09that travel at near light speed.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12If you held your hand up to the sun,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15a billion neutrinos would pass through your hand

0:25:15 > 0:25:16as you held it up to the sun.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- I have a question that's...- Yes?

0:25:19 > 0:25:20- It's related to this.- OK.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- The constellation on the right there...- Yeah?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Is that called the Rat Slowing Down?

0:25:24 > 0:25:28LAUGHTER

0:25:28 > 0:25:30ALAN SCREECHES

0:25:30 > 0:25:32"I've gone way too quick!"

0:25:32 > 0:25:34I think he's gone out of that spin in the middle,

0:25:34 > 0:25:35- and gone, "Whoa!"- Yeah.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37So, these have almost no mass and no electric charge,

0:25:37 > 0:25:40and they're incredibly difficult to detect.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Now, there are cat lovers and there are cat haters,

0:25:43 > 0:25:47but who's lap will the cat sit on?

0:25:47 > 0:25:48# Day... #

0:25:48 > 0:25:52Cats always go to the people who don't like them or who are allergic.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54KLAXON BLARES

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Um, yes, they do.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57- No.- They do.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, the only scientific study that we found,

0:25:59 > 0:26:01in fact, finds the opposite. So...

0:26:01 > 0:26:02They've only done one?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04What are they spending their money on?!

0:26:04 > 0:26:06You know the cat on the right there,

0:26:06 > 0:26:08the cat on the right that's being kissed by the lady is...

0:26:08 > 0:26:10- I think that cat's married. - LAUGHTER

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Just from the expression of,

0:26:12 > 0:26:16"Oh, my God! Don't take a picture, how am I going to explain this?"

0:26:16 > 0:26:18So, people who believe the perverse cat theory,

0:26:18 > 0:26:20- there are various explanations.- Yes, yeah.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, first, cats don't like being stared at

0:26:22 > 0:26:23is one of the reasons that they give.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26They perceive it as aggression, so they prefer people who ignore them.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Cats pick up hostile body language

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- and they act to try and placate it, that's one of the things.- Yeah.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33In fact, there's only one small study has been done

0:26:33 > 0:26:36by the Anthro-zoological Institute at the University of Southampton,

0:26:36 > 0:26:39and they were unable, really, to find much effect at all.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41They had eight cat-lovers, eight cat-haters

0:26:41 > 0:26:43and the cats didn't seem to be bothered who they went to.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- They were... - Not exactly a wide study.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47It's not a massive study, Colin. LAUGHTER

0:26:47 > 0:26:49- No, yeah. - Felines don't make beelines

0:26:49 > 0:26:51towards people who hate cats.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54This painting, have a quick look at this painting, what is it?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55The Scream?

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Yes, The Scream by Edvard Munch.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58What does it depict?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- It's a... Now, I know this.- Yes.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02I think.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05But it's someone who is hearing screams

0:27:05 > 0:27:07from a hospital or something.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10You're nearly there. So, it is actually not somebody screaming,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- it is somebody... - Somebody hearing screams.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16..hearing a scream of nature, is what Edvard Munch said.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18So, it's a figure of indeterminate gender,

0:27:18 > 0:27:20she or he, they're not screaming, they're hearing a scream.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23So, it's the opposite of what we might think it is.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26The scream of nature in German, Der Schrei der Natur.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, his account of the inspiration for this painting

0:27:28 > 0:27:29further bears this out.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31"I stopped and looked out over the fjord,

0:27:31 > 0:27:34"the sun was setting and the clouds turning blood red.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36"I sensed a scream passing through nature.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38"It seemed to me that I heard the scream.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41"I painted this picture, I painted the clouds as actual blood.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43"The colour shrieked. This became The Scream."

0:27:43 > 0:27:45He sounds like a bloody great laugh, doesn't he?

0:27:45 > 0:27:47LAUGHTER

0:27:47 > 0:27:50The scream in Munch's The Scream is heard and not seen.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51And that's your lot for tonight.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Let's have a look at the scores.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Well, with a rather magnificent minus 47...

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Colin.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Sara, with minus 14.

0:28:04 > 0:28:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:05 > 0:28:09I'm happy with that. I'm happy with third.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11With a very, very creditable minus six...

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Alan. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:14 > 0:28:15Thank you very much.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18With a full 8 points, it's Jimmy.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:26 > 0:28:29That means, Colin, that you are the winner

0:28:29 > 0:28:32- and as you would expect... - Oh, I thought I'd won!- No.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Tonight's prize is the very opposite of an objectionable object,

0:28:35 > 0:28:38it's this extremely tasteful QI mug.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41There you are, congratulations.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:44 > 0:28:48It only remains for me to thank Sara, Jimmy, Colin and Alan.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49I leave you with this quote

0:28:49 > 0:28:52that is definitely apposite, or maybe just the opposite of opposite,

0:28:52 > 0:28:54from the economist, JK Galbraith.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57"Under capitalism, man exploits man.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00"Under communism, it's just the opposite."

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Thank you and goodnight.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
