CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:260:00:29

Hello, I'm Frank Skinner and welcome to Room 101,

0:00:330:00:37

the show in which three guests battle to get the things they hate into the dreaded room.

0:00:370:00:42

Joining me are The One Show's Alex Jones, broadcaster Clive Anderson and comedian Jack Whitehall!

0:00:420:00:47

CHEERING

0:00:470:00:49

OK, so let's see our first category.

0:00:540:00:56

Ah, the great outdoors. So what does Alex hate about the great outdoors?

0:01:010:01:07

-Oh, hold on!

-That's me.

0:01:100:01:12

No, I have to help this a little.

0:01:120:01:14

SHE LAUGHS Here we go.

0:01:140:01:18

Oh!

0:01:180:01:20

LAUGHTER AND GROANS

0:01:210:01:24

Yeah. It is.

0:01:280:01:30

It is seagulls and, to be honest, that has happened way too many times.

0:01:300:01:35

When has it happened to you?

0:01:350:01:37

The most recent time, I was in the House of Lords.

0:01:370:01:40

-Yes.

-I was out on the balcony.

0:01:400:01:42

And it was a dinner.

0:01:420:01:44

It was the first time that Christine Bleakley and I would be sitting next to each other.

0:01:440:01:49

-Oh, tense!

-So I thought, "Make an impression."

0:01:490:01:53

-Yes.

-So I go out, have a little orange juice on the balcony, calm myself.

0:01:530:01:58

Next thing, one of these... MIMICS AIRCRAFT ENGINE

0:01:580:02:02

It deposited this lumpy stuff right down my arm, down a cream coat.

0:02:020:02:07

-Did you see the bird?

-I did see the bird. It was a massive one.

0:02:070:02:11

I think it might have been Adrian Chiles.

0:02:110:02:13

LAUGHTER

0:02:130:02:16

Well, we've got a special guest.

0:02:160:02:17

-No, we haven't.

-They're scavengers.

0:02:200:02:23

They're a menace on society,

0:02:230:02:25

they will eat your food and then poo on you!

0:02:250:02:28

They are on the edges of society, I'll give you that. They're outlaws.

0:02:290:02:32

We have video evidence of this, of criminal activity.

0:02:320:02:37

Look at this character, right?

0:02:370:02:40

Outside a mini-market...

0:02:400:02:42

In he goes, straight, straight to the orange Doritos!

0:02:440:02:48

APPLAUSE

0:02:520:02:55

Oh, look, and there's his mate going in for dips!

0:02:560:02:59

The thing is, we've all stolen snacks from a mini-market, but you don't eat it right outside the shop!

0:02:590:03:05

LAUGHTER

0:03:050:03:08

-They get really big as well, you know.

-Huge.

0:03:080:03:11

-Enormous.

-In 2002, a seagull did actually manage to kill somebody.

0:03:110:03:16

LAUGHTER

0:03:180:03:20

Are you not thinking of Steven Seagal?

0:03:200:03:22

-No!

-They do grow. They grow enormous. Look at this.

0:03:250:03:29

'Tom Steinfort, 9 News.'

0:03:290:03:31

Police say they hope someone burdened with information will help solve a 27-year-old gangland murder...

0:03:310:03:37

-You see, they're endless fun.

-Well, no.

0:03:400:03:42

I'd like to stick up for seagulls.

0:03:420:03:44

These animals that nick our food, they're finding stuff that's there.

0:03:440:03:50

Foxes do it, pigeons do it, seagulls do it.

0:03:500:03:52

But they're brilliant at it. I sat on the beach at Brighton eating fish and chips.

0:03:520:03:58

I just chucked chips into the air

0:03:580:04:01

and they just plucked it out of the air like that.

0:04:010:04:03

That is... Could you do that?

0:04:030:04:05

-No.

-Let's try.

0:04:050:04:08

-OK.

-Could you catch this in your mouth?

0:04:080:04:11

I think she'll do it. She's got the teeth for it.

0:04:110:04:14

LAUGHTER

0:04:140:04:16

Get ready, Alex. Don't laugh.

0:04:160:04:18

-Oh!

-It hit me right there.

0:04:180:04:21

Come on, I've seen Fern Britton do this with a Black Forest gateau.

0:04:210:04:26

Last one.

0:04:260:04:28

Oh!

0:04:280:04:30

Let's see what Jack Whitehall doesn't like about the great outdoors.

0:04:310:04:35

Glamping.

0:04:400:04:42

-Glamorous camping.

-Yes.

0:04:420:04:45

Because it's not a real camping experience.

0:04:450:04:48

You go and stay in some luxury yurt

0:04:480:04:51

and you have a lovely time and there's a bed and a stove.

0:04:510:04:54

That's not how I remember camping.

0:04:540:04:56

Camping should be a real experience -

0:04:560:04:59

five members of the family in a horrible little tent,

0:04:590:05:03

fighting over the last wet wipe.

0:05:030:05:05

You shouldn't wake up after a camping experience in a bed.

0:05:060:05:10

You should wake up with grass stains on your knees

0:05:100:05:12

and a sense that you can never look your best friend in the eye again.

0:05:120:05:16

-Yes.

-That's camping.

0:05:160:05:18

-It's a life experience.

-I agree with you.

0:05:180:05:21

There's nothing more exciting than the sound of a zip going up and down in a dark field.

0:05:210:05:26

LAUGHTER

0:05:260:05:29

I can show you some examples.

0:05:290:05:31

Would you like to see the bubble tent, for example?

0:05:310:05:34

-Look at that.

-Ooh!

0:05:340:05:36

It's sort of a dogging palace.

0:05:360:05:38

And if you shake it, does a snowstorm happen?

0:05:400:05:43

-Don't you think that's beautiful?

-I think it would get really warm.

0:05:430:05:48

It's a bit like sleeping in a conservatory though, isn't it?

0:05:480:05:51

-Yes, but it's so difficult to travel with a conservatory.

-True, true.

0:05:510:05:56

I would say, though, Jack...

0:05:560:05:58

Would it not be fair to say that this trend is represented

0:05:580:06:03

by your good self to some extent?

0:06:030:06:05

You're a young, successful, well-educated man,

0:06:050:06:09

but you're here tonight in your T-shirt, your hair a bit raggedy.

0:06:090:06:13

You're a sort of... You're a glamp.

0:06:130:06:17

LAUGHTER

0:06:170:06:20

-Whoa!

-That's why I need camping

0:06:200:06:23

because otherwise, when else am I going to poo in a hole in the ground?

0:06:230:06:27

So what doesn't Clive like about the great outdoors?

0:06:290:06:32

What is that?!

0:06:360:06:39

Well... Well, my...

0:06:390:06:41

My selection was deer.

0:06:410:06:44

But I was expecting you to produce a little model Bambi and everyone would turn against me,

0:06:440:06:49

but you've combined a deer with... It might even be me,

0:06:490:06:52

but I suppose it's the devil.

0:06:520:06:54

I love the countryside, I love all the animals and creatures in it, but there are just too many deer.

0:06:540:07:00

There's more deer now than there have ever been in this country. Maybe three million of them.

0:07:000:07:05

-Three million?

-I haven't counted them. Don't hold me to the last...

0:07:050:07:08

-Three million?

-Roughly.

-All they need is a charismatic leader.

0:07:080:07:12

LAUGHTER

0:07:120:07:15

Maybe the Dalai "Llama".

0:07:150:07:16

-Near enough.

-APPLAUSE

0:07:180:07:21

I don't know how you'll do it if you put the deer into Room 101,

0:07:220:07:26

but one way to do it would be to reintroduce things like wolves.

0:07:260:07:30

It's a good idea. We should have wolves in this country.

0:07:300:07:35

They would keep the deer population down to manageable proportions.

0:07:350:07:38

Wouldn't they keep the human population down as well?

0:07:380:07:42

-They've reintroduced beavers into Scotland recently.

-That's right.

0:07:420:07:47

Let me guess. They did a film about it on The One Show!

0:07:470:07:51

I tried to stop myself, but it just came out.

0:07:510:07:54

They're lovely creatures. I was photographing beavers in Scotland this year.

0:07:540:07:59

LAUGHTER Oh, yeah?

0:07:590:08:02

I've got some brilliant... I've got some brilliant beaver shots I could show you.

0:08:020:08:08

Anyway, I'm getting off the subject.

0:08:080:08:10

There are too many deer. I don't want to get rid of all of them.

0:08:100:08:14

If you could put a good proportion of them in Room 101, that would be a great idea.

0:08:140:08:19

One thing I found very odd was this idea that deer kidnap people.

0:08:190:08:23

-You know there was this series of kidnappings done by deer?

-What?

0:08:230:08:27

-No, I didn't.

-Look at this. I have evidence.

0:08:270:08:29

SCREAMS

0:08:330:08:35

Was that kidnapping or was it some sort of mating ritual?

0:08:400:08:45

If you see the rest of it, she's bundled into the back of a sleigh and they're off!

0:08:450:08:50

-Do you think you could actually kill a deer?

-I just saw this programme as a mechanism

0:08:500:08:56

where we can adjust the population

0:08:560:08:58

without having to get too messy ourselves.

0:08:580:09:01

I think I can change your mind. I have one last Exhibit A.

0:09:010:09:06

I have a special guest.

0:09:060:09:08

Usually, we have big applause for a special guest.

0:09:080:09:11

But if you applaud this time, somebody might get killed,

0:09:110:09:14

so can we have a very silent welcome indeed for Arthur, the deer?

0:09:140:09:19

AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:09:190:09:23

Can someone get Clive a hammer?

0:09:230:09:25

LAUGHTER

0:09:250:09:28

-Come on, Clive.

-Can I come and say "hello"?

-You can say "hello".

0:09:280:09:32

-You know what we're all hoping for.

-I'm sorry, Arthur.

0:09:320:09:35

I didn't mean you. I didn't mean you, honestly. No, not you.

0:09:350:09:40

AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:09:400:09:42

So, sorry. I'll, um...

0:09:420:09:44

I withdraw my... I withdraw my offer.

0:09:440:09:47

Clive was just saying how much he likes eating venison.

0:09:470:09:50

-Is he a red deer?

-Yes.

0:09:510:09:54

And he hasn't got his horns at the moment. Is he too young for that?

0:09:540:09:58

No, he doesn't have any horns. He's castrated.

0:09:580:10:01

I was about to say, he looks more of a Martha than an Arthur!

0:10:010:10:05

OK, I think we can say goodbye to Arthur, but don't applaud.

0:10:050:10:09

Just a wave for Arthur.

0:10:090:10:11

I don't think that's a good idea either.

0:10:130:10:15

-There he goes.

-Aw!

0:10:150:10:17

-To the BBC canteen!

-Yes.

0:10:170:10:19

Anyway, we've come to the end of the Great Outdoors round.

0:10:220:10:26

I don't feel I can put deer in, having seen one in the flesh.

0:10:260:10:31

-I withdraw my suggestion.

-They're such beautiful things.

0:10:310:10:35

I get your point about seagulls and their general messiness,

0:10:350:10:39

-but they are mystical creatures that I find beautiful.

-Mystical?!

0:10:390:10:44

I'm a fan of camping, but I do think glamping is the wrong approach

0:10:440:10:49

to the whole thing. I agree with Jack.

0:10:490:10:50

So I am going to put glamping into Room 101.

0:10:500:10:53

APPLAUSE

0:10:530:10:56

Anyway, let's have our next category.

0:11:000:11:03

It's going out, so what doesn't Jack like about going out?

0:11:080:11:12

The Last Supper?

0:11:160:11:18

-Jesus! No...

-LAUGHTER

0:11:180:11:20

It's shared tables.

0:11:200:11:23

If you look closely, Jack, you'll see why this picture is featured.

0:11:230:11:27

-Oh, I'm in it!

-LAUGHTER

0:11:270:11:30

-That's you sharing a table.

-Good.

0:11:300:11:33

-You fit in rather well.

-I fit in rather well, don't I?

0:11:330:11:36

So, shared tables. When you go out to a restaurant for a night out

0:11:360:11:40

and then they put you on a shared table and you have to sit next to strangers.

0:11:400:11:45

It's ludicrous. Where does that end?

0:11:450:11:48

We're going to share seats, we're going to share the table, there'll be two people next to me.

0:11:480:11:53

Next, let's share food or the bill.

0:11:530:11:55

Before you know it, it's car keys in a bowl time. It shouldn't happen.

0:11:550:11:59

It's dangerous. This as well. This is the Last Supper. This is Jesus.

0:11:590:12:04

If I was next to Jesus of Nazareth at dinner, that would be quite cool.

0:12:040:12:08

I imagine his conversation would be interesting.

0:12:080:12:11

When you go to these restaurants, you're not sat next to Jesus of Nazareth.

0:12:110:12:15

You're sat next to Gareth of the Wandsworth Borough Council.

0:12:150:12:19

He's not as fun. He can turn water into wine.

0:12:190:12:21

All Gareth can do is turn rather bland noodles into unfeasibly smelly wind.

0:12:210:12:25

It's difficult because a particular well-known restaurant that I frequent

0:12:270:12:32

is one of those with the long benches,

0:12:320:12:35

so I sit on one side and my girlfriend sits on the other.

0:12:350:12:39

There's people sitting next to us.

0:12:390:12:41

And people eavesdrop.

0:12:410:12:44

-Yeah.

-Don't you find that?

0:12:440:12:45

I'll be talking to her and she'll start going...

0:12:450:12:49

That means there's someone listening.

0:12:490:12:51

She texts me about the people we're sitting next to.

0:12:510:12:55

Honestly, I was with her. I got a text that said, "Fattest neck in the world?"

0:12:550:13:00

And then I had to start looking around for the fattest neck and there he was.

0:13:020:13:06

It's not just the table, it's the bench thing going on where you're sat opposite your date,

0:13:060:13:12

then there's a man next to you there and a man next to you there and you're being squashed down.

0:13:120:13:18

You're having more intimacy with him

0:13:180:13:19

than you'll end up having with your girlfriend that night.

0:13:190:13:23

You're trying to get a bit of your neighbour's area. I know a man that did that. His name was Hitler.

0:13:230:13:28

Every time you go to one of these restaurants, you're supporting the Nazis!

0:13:280:13:32

-That's the way I see it.

-Well, you argue your case very well.

0:13:340:13:39

I'll tell you what I do like, I like looking at other people's food as a way of choosing what to have.

0:13:390:13:45

It's handy, in that respect.

0:13:450:13:47

But people don't like it. It's like they think you're copying.

0:13:470:13:50

They start sitting like that.

0:13:500:13:52

Maybe you, Frank, and you, Jack, have a particular problem because you're well-known people.

0:13:540:13:59

You're saying you're sitting down and people are getting close to you.

0:13:590:14:03

They might be saying, "That's Jack Whitehall. I like him in..." whatever you've been in.

0:14:030:14:08

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:080:14:11

You're not really objecting about sharing a table.

0:14:130:14:16

You're objecting about sharing a planet with these people. That's the truth of it.

0:14:160:14:21

Anyway, let's find out what Clive doesn't like about going out.

0:14:210:14:24

There's a sort of procedure or ceremony that a lot of restaurants still insist upon doing.

0:14:310:14:37

If you order some wine, they'll give you a taste of it beforehand.

0:14:370:14:41

It's almost like a religious ceremony.

0:14:410:14:44

You're supposed to check to see if the wine has been corked or is off.

0:14:440:14:49

But they do that nowadays when quite good wine is in a screw-top bottle, which is not going to be corked.

0:14:490:14:55

It can be screwed, but not corked. And it's a strange thing.

0:14:550:14:59

-They don't bring you little bits of food to try first.

-That's true.

0:14:590:15:04

It's based on the idea that in every group of people, one person is the host, so he - it could be she -

0:15:040:15:10

has to make sure it's all right before his guests get to taste it.

0:15:100:15:15

So corked, the idea is the cork reacts chemically with the wine?

0:15:150:15:19

It can sometimes go off a bit. That's what you're detecting,

0:15:190:15:23

not deciding, "Mm, yes, that is the wine that the label says it is.

0:15:230:15:27

"You haven't rebottled it."

0:15:270:15:29

Though it would be worth mentioning it if you thought that was the case!

0:15:290:15:33

I've had it with a microwave. If someone microwaves fish and you do porridge immediately after,

0:15:330:15:39

"This has been fished!"

0:15:390:15:42

Where it could work is in a pub when you normally do buy a round.

0:15:430:15:47

There's one person buying the round.

0:15:470:15:49

That person should be given each of the beers, the Diet Cokes,

0:15:490:15:54

the wine to taste.

0:15:540:15:55

But we don't do that. Why do we put up with this in restaurants? Why do they still do it?

0:15:550:16:01

Well, there is a lot of massive snobbiness about wine.

0:16:010:16:06

I guess it is tied in with that.

0:16:060:16:08

I used to drink the cheaper types of wine and sherry,

0:16:080:16:13

basically on waste ground.

0:16:130:16:15

And I... No-one ever asked me if it was corked!

0:16:150:16:21

But we have a clip of Jilly Goolden,

0:16:210:16:24

-who is something of a wine expert.

-Ah, yes.

0:16:240:16:26

This doesn't bear any resemblance to any wine drinking I ever did.

0:16:260:16:30

It's Tarrawingee Riesling Gewurtztraminer. Let's have a smell.

0:16:300:16:33

Very seductive. It's like melon balls,

0:16:340:16:37

when they're all scrunched up. That gorgeous aroma.

0:16:370:16:40

It's a bit like rosewater and witch hazel. Those lovely scents.

0:16:400:16:44

There's a bit of patchouli. It's very heady stuff indeed.

0:16:440:16:48

It really does whoosh up your nose. Very come on-ish.

0:16:480:16:51

For me, it used to be more...

0:16:510:16:53

Oh, I'm scenting an argument about immigration on the night bus.

0:16:550:16:59

LAUGHTER

0:16:590:17:00

A brick through my ex-girlfriend's window

0:17:000:17:03

and I get home later with two domestic pets I've never seen before. It's a different world.

0:17:030:17:09

-Yeah.

-The whole thing of wine is to make you look stupid.

0:17:090:17:13

I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend

0:17:130:17:15

and the sommelier brought up the wine list on an iPad.

0:17:150:17:20

He was going through it like that, showing off. And then he said, "Does Sir have any questions?"

0:17:200:17:26

I was like, "Um, has this got Angry Birds on it?"

0:17:260:17:29

-I don't know anything.

-OK, let's look at Alex's choice.

0:17:320:17:35

Yep. This is British-themed bars abroad.

0:17:390:17:45

GROANS

0:17:450:17:47

-Oh, the crowd!

-Divided you straight away!

0:17:470:17:50

You've booked your holiday, you pick your destination,

0:17:500:17:54

you turn up, it's lovely, sun's out. Nice. And you're walking down the road and the first thing you see

0:17:540:18:01

is like this. The Chav and Devil Dog.

0:18:010:18:04

Or Lineker's.

0:18:040:18:06

Or The Rose and Crown.

0:18:060:18:08

And basically it's like, "We will show every sport event going,

0:18:080:18:13

"we will only serve Guinness and Carlsberg,

0:18:130:18:16

"but also we do Sunday roasts every Sunday."

0:18:160:18:20

-In 85-degree heat, not sure we'll be wanting that.

-Yes.

0:18:200:18:25

But I tried learning a foreign language. It's impossible.

0:18:250:18:29

So it is nice to have that little home from home.

0:18:290:18:33

It is quite comforting, but if you wanted to spend your week or two weeks with a family from Newcastle

0:18:330:18:40

or Liverpool or from Wales, you'd stay at home, wouldn't you?

0:18:400:18:44

We have some pictures of pubs, so people get a sense of what these are.

0:18:440:18:48

The first one is in Benidorm.

0:18:480:18:50

Ye Olde Pub. Lovely, lovely furniture.

0:18:500:18:54

And this one from Majorca.

0:18:540:18:57

This is called Trotters On The Beach.

0:18:590:19:03

It's a lovely looking place!

0:19:030:19:06

This is the oddest themed pub I've ever heard of.

0:19:060:19:10

Hitlers' Cross.

0:19:130:19:15

Nothing very new about that, of course! He often was.

0:19:150:19:20

Look, that's so disgusting.

0:19:200:19:22

-The apostrophe is after the S.

-Exactly!

-It should be before!

0:19:220:19:26

APPLAUSE

0:19:260:19:28

OK, well, I'm worried that the shared tables thing

0:19:300:19:34

suggests a hatred of other people

0:19:340:19:38

more than actual furniture arrangements. I like the idea

0:19:380:19:43

that people who are homesick

0:19:430:19:45

can go and be amongst their fellow countrymen and brothers.

0:19:450:19:49

And I'm not sure about the whole wine ritual. I think it's outdated,

0:19:490:19:53

-so I'm going to put waiters who put a little bit of wine in your glass into Room 101.

-Thank you very much.

0:19:530:19:59

OK, next category, please.

0:20:070:20:08

People.

0:20:130:20:15

What kind of people wind up Clive?

0:20:150:20:17

Yes. Now, it's not that they're football fans,

0:20:220:20:25

it's this one, really.

0:20:250:20:26

He is leaving, and in this scene he's leaving before the end of the match.

0:20:260:20:31

And so many football fans do this now.

0:20:310:20:33

In the olden days, football was quite a cheap activity, now it's fantastically expensive.

0:20:330:20:38

You only get 90 minutes, maybe a little extra time if you're lucky,

0:20:380:20:41

an extra six minutes of Alex Ferguson's managing.

0:20:410:20:44

But if you went to see a film, like a whodunnit,

0:20:460:20:49

and they hadn't quite established who had done the murder yet,

0:20:490:20:52

and you think, "Oh, hang on, we've seen the best part of two hours.

0:20:520:20:55

"If we leave now, we'll beat the rush and we will find out

0:20:550:21:00

"in the paper tomorrow who actually did..."

0:21:000:21:02

No-one would do that. Football fans regularly do it,

0:21:020:21:05

-in all sorts of circumstances.

-It is very strange.

0:21:050:21:07

The idea is that they're trying to miss the traffic, that's what they always say.

0:21:070:21:11

I go to football, I go to Arsenal. I must...

0:21:110:21:13

I'm in a privileged position in that I live very nearby,

0:21:130:21:16

so I can walk home, so I'm not held up by the traffic, there's not normally so many people...

0:21:160:21:20

You don't want to leave early at the Arsenal or you'll miss the dessert wine.

0:21:200:21:25

Giving an Arsenal example, not necessarily in Arsenal's favour,

0:21:260:21:30

a couple of seasons ago they were 4-0 up by the end of the first half at Newcastle.

0:21:300:21:34

So obviously a fair proportion of the Newcastle fans thought,

0:21:340:21:37

"We're not waiting around to see this humiliation." And they went home.

0:21:370:21:41

But Newcastle scored four goals in the second half,

0:21:410:21:44

so they missed seeing what, for them, was about the most exciting game...

0:21:440:21:47

I love to think that the Newcastle fans used your exact wording there.

0:21:470:21:51

I've seen the Toon Army, like, men with no shirts on, massive tits,

0:21:510:21:54

"Newcastle" tattooed across their chest.

0:21:540:21:56

"Well, we're not waiting around to see this humiliation!"

0:21:560:22:00

I was paraphrasing.

0:22:020:22:03

Yeah.

0:22:040:22:06

That's the problem with Arsenal. I'm an Arsenal fan too and Arsenal fans,

0:22:060:22:09

I think, are some of the worst for that.

0:22:090:22:11

I've seen stuff at an Arsenal game that you would never see anywhere else.

0:22:110:22:15

I watched a game once and there was a guy behind me getting very irate

0:22:150:22:18

and he stood up and shouted out the most middle-class thing I've ever heard at a football match.

0:22:180:22:22

He got really angry and then went, "Oh, for Christ's sake!

0:22:220:22:25

"You are so lackadaisical!"

0:22:250:22:28

-Doesn't work.

-I was leaving West Brom once.

0:22:310:22:34

We'd lost 2-0 and they announced,

0:22:340:22:37

"Mr So and So, your wife has given birth to a baby boy

0:22:370:22:41

"in Sandwell District Hospital."

0:22:410:22:43

And this old guy sat next to me said, "Oh, the poor devil, he sat through this lot,

0:22:430:22:47

"now he's got to go home and make his own tea."

0:22:470:22:50

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:22:500:22:54

How terrible!

0:22:540:22:55

OK, let's have a look at Alex's choice.

0:22:570:22:59

Yes. Taxi drivers...

0:23:020:23:04

-Oh, no!

-..who don't know the way.

0:23:040:23:06

-Ah!

-You're walking home tonight.

0:23:060:23:08

Exactly. Never be rude about taxi drivers!

0:23:080:23:11

To be honest, it might be quicker - they can never find my house.

0:23:110:23:14

-I'll give you a lift.

-Will you?

0:23:140:23:18

My mother's coming to pick me up in the Volvo.

0:23:180:23:20

Awkward.

0:23:240:23:25

So, you know, if you're in a taxi, you know, use the time to,

0:23:250:23:31

I don't know, make a phone call or put some make-up on

0:23:310:23:33

or whatever you do.

0:23:330:23:35

And then, this bloke will open the flap of glass and say...

0:23:350:23:39

"Er, where's that, then?

0:23:390:23:42

"Whereabouts is that?" And you're thinking, "Seriously now?"

0:23:420:23:45

So you have to end your phone call

0:23:450:23:47

and direct this man the rest of the way, so you're like, "Right, left...

0:23:470:23:51

"No, no, the next left."

0:23:510:23:53

And basically, if you're bad at left and right, like I am,

0:23:530:23:57

this causes all sorts of problems and you end up having a massive bill

0:23:570:24:00

-by the time you actually get there.

-I think you've got a point.

0:24:000:24:03

Even if you're a minicab driver, you should basically know the way around.

0:24:030:24:07

And I like a nice, silent journey.

0:24:070:24:09

Well, exactly. You don't want... And you know the button?

0:24:090:24:13

The button that's got a little picture of somebody with a speech bubble coming out of its mouth.

0:24:130:24:18

You never know whether it's off or on, you never know,

0:24:180:24:21

so you're knocking on the glass because the man's gone...

0:24:210:24:24

It's stressful!

0:24:240:24:25

Why don't you just chat to the drivers, you miserable people?

0:24:250:24:28

Make it a pleasant journey. "Hello, how you doing? What's the traffic like?"

0:24:280:24:32

-Do you think Clive wants a free taxi ride?

-I think he does.

0:24:320:24:35

I get scared in cabs because I always go in and try and hide

0:24:350:24:39

this voice, when I'm around London.

0:24:390:24:41

I'll go in and be like, "You all right, me guv'nor? Take me home," and try and...

0:24:410:24:46

-hide the fact that I'm very posh.

-That's well hidden(!)

0:24:460:24:49

And sometimes it goes...

0:24:490:24:51

I had one the other day where it was going really well and I was really...

0:24:510:24:54

He had no idea that I was posh.

0:24:540:24:55

But I was talking so much that in the end he dropped me off at the staff entrance to my house

0:24:550:25:00

and I felt like such a ninny.

0:25:000:25:02

OK, then, what kind of people wind up Jack?

0:25:030:25:06

-PARTY FLUTE SOUNDS

-That's good. That is good.

0:25:110:25:13

-It is representative of women on hen nights.

-Yes.

0:25:150:25:19

ALEX GASPS

0:25:190:25:21

-Oh...

-I...

0:25:210:25:23

OK, have fun on your hen night,

0:25:230:25:25

but I've realised, as a young, vulnerable man,

0:25:250:25:28

I am the natural prey of the hen and they terrify me.

0:25:280:25:33

Like, I was on a train recently from Manchester to London

0:25:340:25:37

and they all came on, it was a big group

0:25:370:25:40

and they were very bawdy and they were drinking and shouting

0:25:400:25:43

and it was the only time I've ever felt sorry for the ticket man.

0:25:430:25:47

He was coming down and a woman cocked her leg on the table

0:25:480:25:51

and attempted to use her noony as fare.

0:25:510:25:54

She was like, "Oi! Will this get me to London?"

0:25:560:25:59

I was like, "I doubt that would get you to Stockport."

0:25:590:26:02

And there's so many contradictions as well with hen nights.

0:26:040:26:08

Like, I've seen an L-plate on a pregnancy bump.

0:26:080:26:11

How does that work? And angel wings.

0:26:120:26:14

There's always one person in the group with angel wings

0:26:140:26:17

and every time you see someone with angel wings,

0:26:170:26:19

it's always the person that looks the least likely ever to become airborne.

0:26:190:26:23

Do you feel, Jack,

0:26:270:26:29

that people are enjoying themselves on a hen? It always looks to me

0:26:290:26:33

like they're having a terrible time

0:26:330:26:35

but trying to pretend that they're having a great time.

0:26:350:26:37

Yeah, there's a lot of aggression as well, isn't there?

0:26:370:26:40

I was walking down the street with my dad once

0:26:400:26:43

and there was a hen party and they shouted over at us,

0:26:430:26:46

"Get your willy out!"

0:26:460:26:48

And I was like, "What? I'm with my dad.

0:26:480:26:51

"You're perpetuating a bad stereotype,

0:26:510:26:53

"behaving appallingly in public, everyone's looking.

0:26:530:26:55

"You shouldn't..." I said all of this.

0:26:550:26:57

Admittedly, my argument was somewhat nullified by the fact

0:26:570:27:00

that my dad had got his willy out by that point.

0:27:000:27:03

OK, well, look...

0:27:050:27:06

I know what you mean about hen nights.

0:27:080:27:11

They are terrifying people, but it is, I suppose, a bit of a tradition

0:27:110:27:17

and I like particularly about them

0:27:170:27:19

that there's a mixing of the generations,

0:27:190:27:21

Mum goes along, Auntie and you see Granny there and stuff

0:27:210:27:25

and I like that, that's quite a rare thing.

0:27:250:27:28

-And Alex...

-Yeah.

0:27:280:27:30

I quite like the adventure of being in a cab with someone

0:27:300:27:33

-who doesn't know their way.

-Expensive adventure.

0:27:330:27:36

But they're both...

0:27:360:27:37

On any other round, I think both of those could've possibly have got

0:27:370:27:41

into Room 101, but I am so, so very anti

0:27:410:27:45

people leaving football matches early that I have to say that,

0:27:450:27:49

without any doubt...

0:27:490:27:51

Oh, they've left early!

0:27:520:27:54

OK, next category, please.

0:28:040:28:06

Yes, it's the Wildcard round, which means you have no restraints.

0:28:110:28:15

OK, so what's Alex's Wildcard?

0:28:150:28:17

Yeah, it's people who watch the same film over and over again.

0:28:220:28:26

It's a waste of your life.

0:28:260:28:29

OK. Is there no film you've seen three or four times?

0:28:290:28:34

There are exceptions to the rule...

0:28:340:28:36

-Ah!

-Ah!

0:28:360:28:38

..in the form of Titanic.

0:28:380:28:42

-Hang on!

-The longest film ever!

0:28:420:28:45

That's a big commitment.

0:28:450:28:46

I know. Good effort, eh? It was when it came out in the cinema and I did like Leonardo DiCaprio.

0:28:460:28:51

-But I've learned from my mistake since then.

-Yes.

0:28:510:28:54

But this is, more or less...

0:28:540:28:55

It's basically saying... This is what I hate about my boyfriend.

0:28:550:28:59

His favourite film is Shawshank Redemption.

0:28:590:29:02

-Mm, another long film.

-Good film.

-Stupid film.

0:29:020:29:05

If I was your boyfriend, we could watch Marley and Me every night.

0:29:050:29:08

LAUGHTER

0:29:080:29:11

-Mamma Mia. Love it.

-Yes.

-Dirty Dancing.

0:29:110:29:15

-All the greats.

-Beaches.

0:29:150:29:18

-Aww!

-It makes me cry every time.

-Every time!

0:29:180:29:23

Oh...

0:29:230:29:26

-A bar of chocolate.

-Lovely.

0:29:260:29:28

-Get into our onesies.

-Yeah.

0:29:280:29:30

Popcorn in a bowl. Oh, dream.

0:29:300:29:33

See?

0:29:330:29:34

I don't want to be sexist, Frank, but I do think this is a trait

0:29:340:29:38

-that comes out more in men.

-They like seeing things again and again.

0:29:380:29:41

-And they can quote from films.

-Like Star Wars.

-Yeah!

0:29:410:29:46

I met a bloke in Wolverhampton who'd seen Star Wars 112 times.

0:29:460:29:50

-For God's sake!

-And he still hadn't got through all the reading at the beginning.

0:29:500:29:54

There are films I've seen like 30 or 40 times, but they're not films we could show clips from.

0:29:570:30:04

LAUGHTER

0:30:040:30:06

Eventually you memorize them and then you leave them in a hedge.

0:30:060:30:09

That did used to be where you found things, in hedges, wasn't it?

0:30:110:30:15

-It did. What happened to that?

-It was a proud tradition.

0:30:150:30:18

Yeah, what happened to the whole tradition of privet pornography?

0:30:180:30:22

They don't know now, young people, it's all on the internet.

0:30:220:30:25

There's probably loads of it in there, left uncollected.

0:30:250:30:28

What are you doing after?

0:30:280:30:29

Starting a hedge fund!

0:30:320:30:33

I think in an age where one in three marriages end in divorce,

0:30:400:30:44

there's something very loyal about someone who watches the same film.

0:30:440:30:48

-I love that.

-Is it not more special to watch something new together?

0:30:480:30:51

You can watch new films as well,

0:30:510:30:53

but there's something very comforting about the same old movie.

0:30:530:30:57

No! You know you're in a rut when that happens.

0:30:570:31:00

That's what I was saying to Arthur earlier.

0:31:000:31:03

Let's have a look at Clive Anderson's Wildcard.

0:31:060:31:08

This is not One Direction. The concept here is

0:31:140:31:19

that you can never go and see anything spontaneously any more. Everybody's booked up in advance.

0:31:190:31:24

Just going to see a play or concert or even getting a railway ticket.

0:31:240:31:29

I think we must all band together because this is all done by people saying, "I'll fit in with this."

0:31:290:31:35

If we all say, "No, we're going to buy on the day. We're all going to turn up on the day to see the film,

0:31:350:31:41

"to get on the train," the prices would have to be adjusted down for OUR convenience,

0:31:410:31:47

not for the convenience of vast mega-corporations

0:31:470:31:50

who have got us by the throat. Thank you very much.

0:31:500:31:53

APPLAUSE

0:31:530:31:55

I kind of respect the enthusiasm of people who keep an eye out

0:31:580:32:03

when their favourites are on tour

0:32:030:32:06

and they know when the next Batman movie's opening. I've done that,

0:32:060:32:10

-keep an eye out for the next Batman movie.

-What about aeroplanes?

0:32:100:32:14

If you want a cheap airline ticket, you book well in advance.

0:32:140:32:18

That depends on you knowing when you want to go and having a regular lifestyle. Mine isn't.

0:32:180:32:24

I feel penalised...

0:32:240:32:26

What are you? Some kind of reckless rock'n'roll animal?!

0:32:260:32:30

-"I'm off to Florida today! Let's do it!"

-Disorganised.

0:32:300:32:35

OK, what is Jack's Wildcard?

0:32:350:32:37

-It is metrosexuals. Overly-preened men...

-OK.

0:32:430:32:48

..who take massive amounts of time over their personal appearance.

0:32:480:32:52

Oh, is that what a metrosexual is? I thought it was somebody who got up to dodgy things on the Underground!

0:32:520:32:58

I just don't think... We're tricked into it as well.

0:33:040:33:07

They're trying to make it manly.

0:33:070:33:09

You buy moisturiser for men and it's called Face Fuel

0:33:090:33:14

so that we buy it and use it, but I don't want that.

0:33:140:33:17

I want to get to...old age, like yourselves...

0:33:170:33:22

No, I mean and have a face that looks like it's been lived in.

0:33:220:33:27

Like I've done some stuff.

0:33:270:33:30

I don't want to have a baby face when I'm in my 40s.

0:33:300:33:33

I want it to look like Alan Sugar's scrotum.

0:33:330:33:36

That's most unfair on Alan Sugar.

0:33:400:33:42

If you'd seen it before he put the moisturiser on it...

0:33:420:33:45

..it was much, much worse!

0:33:470:33:49

I should imagine.

0:33:490:33:51

But you're almost the definition of a metrosexual.

0:33:520:33:55

-You are a metrosexual!

-I don't want to be a metrosexual!

0:33:550:33:58

-You are one!

-I know!

0:33:580:34:00

You sound like my dad now! I don't want that. I want to be a man!

0:34:000:34:04

I look at my idols, like men...that I look up to.

0:34:040:34:07

LAUGHTER

0:34:070:34:09

Yeah, but I don't want, like, you know,

0:34:090:34:12

I don't want Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham.

0:34:120:34:16

I want...Ben Fogle. Someone like that. A proper man.

0:34:160:34:20

I think what you need is parenthood. That tends to sort it out.

0:34:200:34:25

Since becoming a parent, my idea of looking smart is only having sick on one shoulder.

0:34:250:34:30

Would you ever wear a mankini?

0:34:310:34:34

-Oh, no!

-I don't think he's asking you!

0:34:340:34:37

LAUGHTER

0:34:370:34:40

-There we are.

-There you go.

-Yeah. See?

0:34:420:34:44

There's an element of soap on a rope about that, isn't there?

0:34:440:34:49

What I do, I don't want to buy a mankini

0:34:490:34:51

so I just put my arms through the legs in my Y-fronts.

0:34:510:34:56

And it ends up like that.

0:34:560:34:57

Your beard, by the way, I would say, with all due respect,

0:35:000:35:04

is a metrosexual beard, isn't it?

0:35:040:35:06

That could be more shaped. I keep it quite bushy.

0:35:060:35:10

I used to have a beard. I grew a beard because I was too drunk to shave. This was mine.

0:35:100:35:16

LAUGHTER

0:35:160:35:19

If you had a programme called Beard Swap,

0:35:190:35:22

we could find out how I'd look with a lovely, neat beard

0:35:220:35:25

and how you'd look with mine.

0:35:250:35:27

# Beard Swap, Beard Swap

0:35:270:35:30

# Look at them changing beards. #

0:35:300:35:34

You're fired!

0:35:390:35:40

# I dreamed a dream of time gone by... #

0:35:440:35:47

APPLAUSE

0:35:500:35:52

Thank you!

0:35:570:35:59

It looks great!

0:36:030:36:05

Can I keep it and go home in it?

0:36:070:36:08

Aaargh! It took the last-remaining real hair with it.

0:36:110:36:15

I think, Jack, it's nice that men like Clive

0:36:150:36:20

-are looking after themselves a bit more these days.

-I'm not!

0:36:200:36:23

Better, better!

0:36:290:36:32

You all right, honey?

0:36:320:36:33

But you must use something. What's your morning routine?

0:36:330:36:37

-Don't ask him that!

-LAUGHTER

0:36:370:36:40

You know I do a show with Freddie Flintoff, the cricketer,

0:36:420:36:46

who is training to become a boxer.

0:36:460:36:48

And we were filming this show over a course of weeks

0:36:480:36:51

and he kept saying, "Jack, you've got to come down for a spar

0:36:510:36:53

"at some point," and I kept saying, "Yeah, I would love that."

0:36:530:36:57

I subsequently found out he's training to be a boxer, sparring is when you punch someone in the ring.

0:36:570:37:02

I genuinely thought he wanted me

0:37:020:37:04

and him to go off to a nice hotel somewhere and get face masks.

0:37:040:37:07

Yeah!

0:37:090:37:10

You've really entered into this. God bless you.

0:37:100:37:13

I don't know what I put on my face. It's hair gel and something else.

0:37:130:37:17

It's really beginning to sting.

0:37:170:37:19

We need to move on. You could well be blind soon.

0:37:190:37:24

-LAUGHTER

-So, look...

0:37:240:37:26

I think metrosexuality isn't such a bad thing

0:37:260:37:30

if it stops men from smelling

0:37:300:37:32

-and being horrible.

-Yep!

-And...

-Yeah, Frank, in your own time(!)

0:37:320:37:36

-Like, honestly...

-LAUGHTER

0:37:360:37:39

I think that booking things in advance is quite an enthusiastic and keen thing

0:37:390:37:44

and although I do watch films over and over, I am going to put

0:37:440:37:48

Alex's people who watch films over and over again into Room 101.

0:37:480:37:53

Thank you!

0:37:530:37:54

OK, that brings us to the end of the show.

0:38:030:38:06

Well done, Clive. You were the most persuasive guest tonight

0:38:060:38:11

-so you are this week's winner.

-Oh, thank you very much.

0:38:110:38:14

I didn't know there was a winner, but I'll be it.

0:38:140:38:17

Thanks very much, Jack Whitehall, Clive Anderson and Alex Jones.

0:38:170:38:21

And thank you. Good night!
