CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
Hello, I'm Frank Skinner, and welcome to Room 101, the show where | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
three guests battle to banish their bete noire to the notorious vault. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
They'll have to argue their case well because, in each round, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
only one item can be chosen. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
The final decision is mine. Let's meet this week's guests. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Joining me tonight are on the money Robert Peston, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
on the funny Bridget Christie and on the Radio One-y Greg James. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
OK. Well, let's begin. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
So, what is Greg's first choice? | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
The Kardashians. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Thank you and goodbye. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
I thought we'd start big. It's hard to know where to start, really. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
I suppose my biggest gripe is not the fact that Kim Kardashian | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
has released a book of selfies, called Selfish, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
or that she has released an app game that you can do where you have to go | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
from the E-list to the A-list, and that's how you complete the game. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
That's annoying... Take it from me, it's a very long game. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
I've given half my life to it. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
So those are two annoying things, but the thing for me is that | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
when I was growing up we used to watch rubbish telly and look at | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
rubbish reality stars and go, "Oh, they're embarrassing, aren't they?" | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
but we didn't want to be them. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
Whereas now, with the Kardashians, people seem to watch it and go, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
"Well, they're idiots, aren't they, but I quite want to be like her." | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
And it feels like there's a lot of particularly young girls | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
that want to be like the Kardashian girls, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
and for that reason I'm going to try and put them into Room 101. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
The thing is, I just think we need better role models, OK, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
so I've actually got a list of role models | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
who are better than the Kardashians. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Would you like to hear the list? WHOOPING | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Well...it's a 29-minute show, you see. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
"A list of better role models than the Kardashians. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
"One - literally everyone else in the world, apart from murderers, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
"but even then you can argue at least they have done something | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
"and have some skills." | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
That's kind of as far as I got, really. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
You see, my view on the Kardashians is, in a way, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
they are the people's champions because I think people... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
AUDIENCE BOOS | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Just hear me out! LAUGHTER | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
I think they are a rallying point for people | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
who are sick of the talented hogging the limelight all the time. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
I think people look at the Kardashians and think, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
"You know, if I was famous, that's what I'D be like. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
"I would just live it up, spend loads of money, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
"and, you know, not worry about stuff." | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
And I can't help having a certain amount of affection for them. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
I think that they've made an awful lot of money, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
and they're incredibly famous, and a lot of people would be | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
inspired by their business acumen, and the way that they've | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
been able to create something out of literally nothing. Yes! | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
But I think they do fill an incredibly useful function, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
cos the reaction of everybody here | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
is that everybody here feels better than them | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
and it just makes everybody feel good about themselves. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
APPLAUSE So they do... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
I think they perform an incredibly useful function in that sense. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Interesting. They are really unpopular in here, aren't they? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
Not with me! LAUGHTER | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Well, in case people here have never seen the Kardashians, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
and wonder what the hell we're talking about, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
let's have a look at Keeping Up With the Kardashians. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
I love this. I'm really into belts. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Do you like that with the circle, or not? Yeah. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
I love this. I have to get this. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
That, I love. She really knows how to shop, huh? I know. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
Whenever I shop with Kim I always get super-nervous, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
cos she buys, like, everything in sight. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Your total is 19,723. That's after your discount. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
19,000? Mm-hm. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
Kim's always had a shopping problem, | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
it's just escalated as she's made more money. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
OK, can I completely...? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
I...hate them now. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
What I like, though, is the way you see something happening | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and then it cuts away | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
to one of the Kardashians telling you what just happened. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
She's famous for her behind, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
and she's done a whole lot of selfies of her bum | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
which she calls "belfies". | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
So here's one of her belfies. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
So that's the standard thing. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
But the most famous one is the picture where she... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Before it went out, she said, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
"I've done a picture which is going to break the internet." | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
That's how confident she is. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
And we've probably all seen this picture - and she was right, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
it was absolutely everywhere, this picture. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
She's actually officially classified now as a centaur. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Can I give you some quotes from the Kardashians? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
This might win you over. This is from Kim Kardashian. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Come on, that's a good line. That's a great line. Kim again... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Now, there's something wonderful about the openness of that. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
I once saw Peter Stringfellow on a television programme, | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
and he was going out with a 17-year-old woman. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
And there was a woman in the audience asked him, she said, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
"What do you even find to talk about?" | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
And he said, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
"Oh, well, I'm quite lucky like that because I'm very shallow." | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
I thought, "There's something very admirable | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
"about that level of honesty." | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Peter Stringfellow? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
He looks like a cross between Nosferatu and Carol Thatcher. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
OK, Bridget, what's your choice? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Babies. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
AUDIENCE GASPS AND LAUGHS All right. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
SPORADIC APPLAUSE AND BOOS | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
All right, calm down! | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Yeah, the Kardashians have babies, you know. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
You didn't mind those going in the room. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Well... OK. So obviously they're very cute. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
If they weren't cute, the human race would have died out | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
a long time ago, because early humans would have gone, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
"OK, I've done three days now. I'm out. That's enough." | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
I just think they're overrated. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
I think that they contribute the least to society... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
..but they are the most worshipped and revered people on earth... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
After the Kardashians. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
They create chaos. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
If you replaced any of us with a baby, there would be chaos. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
Or a pilot, or a bus driver, or... | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
You can't argue with that. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
I'm not saying I hate... I'm not a monster, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
I'm just saying that they should make a bit more of an effort. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
But there is a problem, which is of course they do get worse... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
I know. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
As they get older, they eat you out of house and home. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
You know, they... They're rude. You never know where they are. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
They're unbelievably rude, as you say. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
I mean, I don't know... Why are you singling out babies? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Why not just...you know, all kids, or all people? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Because babies are literally useless. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Have you lived with a 13-year-old boy? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Look, it was a very long time ago... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
This has become a witch-hunt! | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
And the noise that they make, the sort of "wah-wah". | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
I'm surprised that that hasn't changed over... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
Yeah. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
Crying, you mean? Yeah, but can't it be something else? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
I'm not saying that they should be born talking. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
No? That would be more fun, wouldn't it? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
What if they talked before? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
You could hear a little voice saying, "What, chilli again?!" | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
"Any more spicy food, I'm going breech!" | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
No, I like that. It would help during the birth as well, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
It would be like The Chuckle Brothers - "To me, to you." | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
I have a clip of two babies sort of talking, which I think is brilliant. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
THEY JABBER AT EACH OTHER | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Yeah, but they're toddlers. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
They're toddlers. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Well... They've got nappies on. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
They were standing up and toddling... | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
They're wearing the national costume of the baby. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
Since my son has started talking, I sleep with a baby monitor. Yeah. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
And he used to just cry in the morning, when he was a baby, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
and I'd think, "Oh, it's time to go down, you know, and get him", | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
and now he calls out. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
He'll go, "It's daytime! It's daytime!" | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
And I think it's God telling me about the next phase of my TV career. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
What I remember... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
We're a member of an NCT group, which is a group you go to, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
I don't know if you know about this, | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
when you're learning about having a baby. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
All the couples go, all the pregnant women and the dads. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
And we all had our babies, and then there was a new group coming | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
and they were all pregnant | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
and we were going to meet THEM for the first time. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
And I remember we got together and said, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
"Look, are we going to tell them the truth?" | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
You can't, you have to keep it back, | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
otherwise no-one would ever have children. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
I live in quite a middle-class area, and, sort of, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
other mothers will kind of judge you, you know, if your baby's | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
got a dummy in its mouth, you know, or a cigarette or something, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
it's just really...judgmental. You know. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
And other people's... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Oh! THEY'RE boring. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
Other people's babies are boring. It's like conversation. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
Other people's conversation - extremely tedious. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
Your own - amazing. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
My lowest ebb... My son is three years old, right? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
I came down from Birmingham, moved to London to seek fame and fortune. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
I said to my son, "Nanny Sandra's coming round next week" | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
and he said, "Nanny S-aa-ndra". | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Did he really? He honestly said that. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
Just to balance this, let's have a look at a bit of brotherly love. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
It's a little boy playing with his little baby brother | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
just to remind us that babies can be a beautiful thing. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
Ba-ba-ba! | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba! | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
Ba-ba-ba-b... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Eurgh! | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
I had forgotten about the joy of projectile vomiting, actually. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
That is a joy. It is a joy. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Anyway, Robert, what's winding YOU up? | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
So... | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
So it's the Devil's own material, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
Lycra - or spandex, as it's known in some quarters - | 0:12:55 | 0:13:01 | |
and plainly what I loathe most about it | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
is when it's worn by people of my age on bicycles. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
It's a particularly terrifying prospect. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
But actually I hate it in all its forms. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
I mean, it seems to me - we're talking about babies | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
but I think...shouldn't be allowed to wear those sort of Lycra Speedos | 0:13:20 | 0:13:26 | |
when you're over five, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
I think anybody over five looks utterly ridiculous. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Five? Are you down the lido going, "He's six. Get them off. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
"You look stupid." | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
I think athletes that wear... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
It's also like a form of...sort of drug cheating. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
I mean, why can't athletes just wear some baggy shorts and a...? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
You know, they all wear all this sort of clingy stuff - | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
why is that technology all right | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
but, you know, taking steroids is wrong? I mean, it's all... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
Very good case. ..it's all performance-enhancing stuff... | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
I'd like to see Lycra testing. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
And then there's disco. Right? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
I mean, you know, I'm a great disco fan, but disco pants? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
No, no, no. Disco hot pants? No. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
These are crimes against good taste. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
What do you wear at the disco, then? Me? Yeah. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Oh, I just wear a sort of spangly suit with a frilly shirt. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
What do you swim in, Robert? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Baggy shorts. Baggy shorts? Yeah. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
Is that wrong? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
They could come off. They don't tend to. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Are you the sort of person that sits in the Jacuzzi and likes them | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
when they blow up? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
That is good. Funny you should say that. Yeah. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
I've got you marked. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
I think if I had a better body | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
I probably would be happy to wear Lycra. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
That's the bottom line. If I wear Lycra, | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
I look like a reptile. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
I mean, I wear a tie because my throat needs to be tethered now... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
..cos, in a strong draught, it will actually move. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Can I ask you a question? Would you be prepared to wear this? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Er, no. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
These are commercially available on the internet. Jesus. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
The Robert Peston T-shirt. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
This is your old look. It is the old look. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
And what I love about this is the seller says, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
"It's a high-quality garment featuring..." You'll like this. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
"..the BBC's face of the recession." | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Anyway, you've all argued incredibly well. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
I don't feel, Bridget, I can put babies in. No. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
They have their downside. There's no doubt about that. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
They can... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
Well, I don't think it would be too much to say they can ruin your life. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
But they are also sort of what we need to continue, | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
so I think we're kind of stuck with them. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
The Kardashians. I think the fact that you... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
AUDIENCE CHEERS | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
I love the British public, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
but I wouldn't trust them with a capital punishment referendum. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
I've always thought the more people that say something, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
the more chance it is to be wrong, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
so I'm not going with the Kardashians. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Ahhh. AUDIENCE BOOS | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
I never said this was a democracy. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
I don't know where you got that crazy idea from. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
But Lycra, I think it probably is true that Lycra | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
is made for people with really good bodies and I hate them, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
so I'm going to put Lycra into Room 101. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
OK. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
So, what's Bridget's choice? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:02 | |
People's sense of entitlement. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
It seems to me that when I'm out, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
say, for example, I'm driving my car. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
People walk out in front of me all the time | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
and I have to slam the brakes on, and they look at me, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
and they're so angry that I'm driving my car on the road... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
..which is where it's supposed to be. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
People are rude. I picked up a phone. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
I was in a cafe and I was sat back-to-back with a woman like this, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
and she dropped her phone, so I picked her phone up. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
It was under my chair, and I turned round and went, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
"Oh, excuse me, you've dropped your phone," and she just went like that. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
She didn't even turn around and make eye contact. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
She just put her hand like that for me to put the phone into her hand. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
I think people have a general sense of narcissistic entitlement, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
where I think technology, credit, everything, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
we don't wait for anything any more. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
We can have whatever we want all the time, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
so we just expect everything all the time. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
We expect to be able to walk out into the road | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
and nearly cause an accident. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
I blame the Kardashians. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
I think it's because they know, they've finally worked out | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
that motorists will not drive straight at them | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
if they're standing in the road. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
That was a sad day when they worked that out. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Can I just...? I mean, the general thesis I completely accept, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
but you're absolutely sure you're not a shockingly bad driver? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
It seems to happen a lot to you. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
No, I mean, I drive very fast. No. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Well, look, I live in quite a very nice area | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
and I took my child to the playground | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
and the playground was locked that day | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
and it was locked because the person who has to watch over, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
the safety person, wasn't there, so they locked the playground, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
and a lot of parents had climbed over the fence and gone in | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
and the kids were still playing, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
so I said to my son, "We can't go in the playground cos it's locked." | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
He could see people in there, | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
and he was...he was crying that he couldn't go in. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
Now, I was angry partly that they had disobeyed the notice, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
which I would never do, but also, I knew, deep down, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
that one of the reasons I wasn't doing it | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
was cos I didn't fancy my chances of getting over the fence. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
So there was an old-dad thing, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
but I am very obedient by nature. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
I don't think I have ever eaten an After Eight mint | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
before eight o'clock. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
It brings out the worst in me, though, all this sort of behaviour. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Do you ever fantasise? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Do you ever have the harpoon fantasy, | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
where you see someone doing something bad and you fire a harpoon? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
So you get the "KRRRRR"! It goes into their back, | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
and then you're able to reel them in for an informative debriefing. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
That's my thing. Let's see what is angering Robert. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
So... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
So managers have been responsible for one or two minor crimes. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
Mis-selling billions of insurance to us, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
bankrupting the banks and the economy, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
but perhaps, more than anything, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
murdering the English language is what gets me. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
So, it's a mixture of things. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
It's sort of pretending to say something meaningful | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
when actually they're saying something meaningless. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
It's prefacing an expression with a phrase like "going forward". | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
"Going forward, we will do something." | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
You don't need "going forward". | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
You just have to say, "We will be doing something or other." | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
And then there are all these sort of weird sort of metaphors, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
often taken from technology. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
"So let's take this offline and then drill down | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
"and we'll kick this whole thing out of the ballpark." | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
I mean, total meaningless nonsense. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
The more jargon that they use is normally associated with | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
the sort of less intelligence that they actually have | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
and then I suppose the other side of it, which I dislike intensely, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
it's the disguising of really quite bad things | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
in language which is meant to sort of make it all sound | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
sort of scientific and technocratic. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
So, you know, you've probably come across the expression "downsizing". | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
Mm. Means sacking people. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
There's another expression, which is "achieving cost synergies". | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
That's sacking people again. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
I have to say, I love it. Do you? | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
Isn't it great that the language is constantly growing and developing? | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
It's not, though. These are meaningless phrases. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
What does "forward planning" mean? It just means planning. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
It's like mega-planning. I think that's all right. Do you?! | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
Like, you know, when I knew you were going to do this topic, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
I was looking forward to it, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
and hoping it wasn't going to be an anticipointment... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
..and that is an actual word. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
It's when you've been looking forward to something | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
and then it doesn't work out. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
This is a management speak word. They call it an anticipointment. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
I like the fact that language is growing. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
You know this thing about people who have their lunch... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
They don't go off, they just eat at their desk, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
and they call it eating "al desko". | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
It's great. Listen to that. It's beautiful. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
That's humour. That's different. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
We've got some of the management speak that's recently entered | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
the Oxford English Dictionary. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
"Go juice". What's that? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
Go juice. It can just mean, like, you know, petrol, or fuel, | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
or it can be mean that in us which makes us...go. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:07 | |
"We need more go juice in this organisation." | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I love that. See if you can get what these are. Hyper-local. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
Hyper-local? Hyper-local. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Very local. Very local. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:17 | |
Why bother changing that? That's just... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
I like very local, but we've got to be hyper-local. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
You'd agree that "staycation" is a good word, wouldn't you? No. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
I quite like staycation. Staycation is good. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
It's also not really management speak. It's just bollocks. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
What it means, if I wanted to save on go juice, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
I could have a hyper-local staycation. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
OK. Greg's gripe. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
Politicians pretending to be normal | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
and I don't believe it, and I don't want them to be bothered with stuff | 0:24:04 | 0:24:09 | |
that everyone else is bothered with cos they've got too much to do. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
I don't want a politician talking about someone's showstopper | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
on the Bake Off. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
I think there's too much to be... The NHS needs to be sorted out. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
Get back to work. Stop watching telly. You've got stuff to do. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Can I point out that, by the time this show goes out, | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
the NHS might have been sorted out? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Like David Cameron got caught out supporting the wrong football team. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
Can I...? We actually have that clip. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
Right, OK. So, sit back and enjoy, Greg. Yeah. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
You can support Man United, the Windies | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
and Team GB all at the same time. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Course, I'd rather you supported West Ham. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Um, sorry, I had, er ... | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
I had what, um, Natalie would describe as a brain-fade. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
I'm a Villa fan. I don't know what happened to me. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
I must have been overcome by something, er, this morning. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
Um, but there we are. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
These things sometimes happen, when, er...when you're on the stump. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
I must admit, when I'm on the stump, I do have some... | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
I can't think straight. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
Also, not the first time he's got in trouble over ham. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
CHEERING | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
You just don't get your football teams mixed up. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
The worrying thing is they both play in a very similar kit, | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
but you wouldn't think, | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
"Oh, maybe that's my team, they look a bit like them." | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Yeah, that's the thing. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Don't pretend about it because you'll get found out | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
and it's not that he had a brain-fade. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
He just doesn't support either of them. That is the problem. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
I think one of the problems is that politicians always have to be | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
something that they aren't, that seems to be the pressure. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
When John Redwood became Secretary of State for Wales, | 0:25:56 | 0:26:01 | |
he'd only just got the job | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
and then he ends up singing this really famous Welsh anthem. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
He should have just accepted... "Obviously, I don't know this yet." | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
Instead, he obviously felt pressured to try and be Welsh! | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
THEY SING THE WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
I mean, had he really belted it out in Welsh, | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
in this magnificent tenor voice, would they have liked him any more? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
They'd have hated him for that, wouldn't they? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Don't you think that the public have slightly brought this on themselves, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
in that they seem to want sort of blokey-type, you know, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:04 | |
your Nigel Farages and your Borises, blokes that are a bit... | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
If the British public completely had their way, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
don't they really want to vote for Top Gear? Yeah. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
What about Ed Miliband's kitchen? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Ed Miliband got interviewed in his... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
We have a picture of the kitchen and there he is. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Now, that's a very ordinary kitchen, | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
like a lot of people have got in their homes. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Someone then said, "Hold on, I've been to Ed Miliband's house. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
"He's got a much bigger, nicer kitchen than that. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
"It's a lovely kitchen." | 0:27:36 | 0:27:37 | |
So Ed Miliband said this. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Throwing in a bit of domestic. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
He's basically saying, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
"We don't eat in the one downstairs cos it's too near to the front door | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
"and there's quite a lot of dog excrement coming in, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
"it's not hygienic." | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
And it's about time David Miliband just forgave and forgot. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
But, clearly, there's no doubt | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
that they got photographed in the little kitchen | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
cos it made them look more humble and normal. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
But if he'd just said, "Guys, I've got a stunt kitchen," | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
you'd go, "Great, it sounds brilliant." | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
I don't mind the leader of a major political party in this country | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
having a nice kitchen. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
I'm fine with that. Yeah. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
If we have an example of what seems like a normal person... | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
When I say normal, | 0:28:34 | 0:28:35 | |
obviously you have to be brighter than a lot of people. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
But Mhairi Black, who's the Scottish MP, | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
a young woman who got in, in the 2015 election, for the SNP, | 0:28:41 | 0:28:46 | |
as soon as she got in, and everyone loved the fact | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
that this seemingly down-to-earth person got in, | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
they went straight back all over her social network stuff to find out, | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
"God, she actually IS an ordinary person. It's an outrage!" | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
So, for example, when she was at school, she made this tweet. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
I mean, that's just right, isn't it? That's what people think. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
This one. Too many asterisks, though. No, not in Scotland. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
No. Oh, I suppose you're right. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
E on the end, don't forget. Yeah. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
Language always developing, Robert. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
And this one. This is an insight into her social life. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
Like most people of her age, there's nothing... But that's great. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:39 | |
Exactly, but people condemn her for that, | 0:29:39 | 0:29:41 | |
so they don't want you to be ordinary. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
There was one of her messages which I did think was a bit unacceptable. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
I take that personally, but other than that... | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
I've got a problem here, cos I'm not going to put in management speak, | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
Robert, because I love it so. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
I'm very torn between the other two, because I do wish politicians | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
would just be politicians and stop being normal. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
But if we don't stamp on the sense of entitlement thing, | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
I feel the whole of society might go into one of those twisty things | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
that it does above a plughole and disappear. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:24 | |
So I am going to have to put | 0:30:24 | 0:30:25 | |
people's sense of entitlement into Room 101. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
Right, we've just got time for a bonus choice, | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
so let's see what Greg's gone for. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
CROWD GASPS OK. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
Spectators at Wimbledon. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
And I want to just say that I really like Wimbledon, before we go on, | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
and I used to queue up, as a kid, | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
I really liked it, but it always wound me up | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
that the crowd would clap too much, too often, for everything. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:05 | |
APPLAUSE So the situation... Don't clap now! | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
So... | 0:31:11 | 0:31:12 | |
Was that ironic, or not? I can't work that out. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
Have I won? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
So, OK, I can use you in this demonstration, | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
so they're playing a point. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
Suddenly there is a phone that goes off in Centre Court | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
and everyone is like, "Ohh..." | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
The players have stopped playing and the umpire has to go, | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
"Ladies and gentlemen, please make sure you keep things quiet | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
"for the sake of the players," and then everyone starts clapping... | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
..which delays it again and again and again, | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
so the thing just keeps going on. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
Someone shouts, they go, "Please keep quiet..." Everyone is clapping. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
And also, it feels like they're surprised when a rally happens. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
So, if a rally last longer than maybe eight shots, | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
it's all quiet and everyone is just going... | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
..and then, maybe about eight or nine shots, | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
someone starts going, "Ooh!" | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
And then there's a, "Oh!" | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
And then someone will go, "Ohh!" | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
And then someone will start going, | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
"I can't believe it's lasting longer than eight!" | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
And then suddenly someone goes, "Oh! Ohh! Oh! Oh!" | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
And then it's this hilarious thing. What were you expecting? | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
This is Wimbledon, they're having rallies. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
See, I've got a problem with this, which is, | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
I think I quite like the crowd | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
and I can't stand what's happening on the court. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
You know, on the court you've got | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
these amazing overpaid prima donnas, no personalities. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
At least people out there are having a good time. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
The people on the court don't seem to enjoy themselves at all. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
They hate what they do, they hate each other... It's... It's ghastly! | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
I've only been to Wimbledon once. It is, without doubt, | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
the most middle-class thing I have ever experienced in my life, | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
and I kind of love it for that because the British middle class | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
are very unfashionable now and it's... | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
I think I was the only person there who didn't own | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
at least one piece of Princess Diana crockery. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
That was the feeling I got and it was like a theme park, like Posh Land. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:10 | |
You know, I love all that. There's a woman here | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
with what you would call a tennis-court hat and I think this... | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
This is part of the sort of wacky British eccentric... | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
Look at that, it's actually a solar panel that illuminates her teeth. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:25 | |
And this woman has completely pushed the boat out. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
Look forward to seeing her at the table tennis! | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
But I like that, I like the dressing up, | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
I like the weirdness, I like the eccentricity | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
and also, you don't often see swearing at the tennis, | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
but Andy Murray's now wife, Kim Sears, was accused of swearing. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:51 | |
He played a guy called Tomas Berdych | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
and I personally don't think she's swearing, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
but Andy wins a point and then we cut to Kim in the crowd. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
See what you think. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:03 | |
CROWD CHEERS | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
Wow! Wow! | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
Now, I have watched this several times. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
My guess is that she's saying, | 0:34:23 | 0:34:24 | |
"Fear not, there is a shelf underneath five windows." | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
I think she's mulling over a cryptic crossword clue. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
I'll tell you something, one of the most famous noises... | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
I mean, yes, the applause and the "Come on, Andy," and all that... | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
One of the most famous noises that I really like is... | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
FEMALE PLAYER GRUNTS | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
That's Maria Sharapova really giving it some. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
FEMALE PLAYER GRUNTS | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
Now, people condemn that, but that's a sound of Wimbledon I love. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:56 | |
I think it's quite funny that people get annoyed about that in the crowd. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
Apparently, she reaches 109 decibels at her loudest, | 0:34:59 | 0:35:04 | |
which is only slightly quieter than a chainsaw. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
Here's Maria. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:11 | |
Incredible...shoulders. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
They are a parrot's dream. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
That's like a three-bedroom flat to a parrot. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
If you go to Wimbledon, I don't know, | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
but you are given a brochure about queueing. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:32 | |
No! No! | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
And it gives you general how-to-behave-at-Wimbledon tips. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
We've got some of the things... | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
They have little slogans | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
telling you what you can and can't do at Wimbledon. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
That's nobody from the North. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
No... | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
That's actually... No flares is the idea, so you know when people, | 0:35:53 | 0:35:59 | |
like in Spanish football games, hold... | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
Something I must say has worked really well at Wimbledon. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
I don't think I've ever seen any coloured flares held up, | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
maybe in the '70s. But... | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
So, that's one of the things that you are warned against | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
and then here's another. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
Now, this is those sort of camping seats. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
Now, you would think, what would be the problem with those? | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
But they are... I want to show you a piece of footage | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
which suggests why you shouldn't take these to the tennis | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
and I'd particularly like you to listen to the commentary on this. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
It's extremely informative. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
And that will do Team Elton a whole lot of good. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
They get the victory, but more importantly, | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
the lead now just down to four. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
Oh! | 0:36:47 | 0:36:48 | |
Ohh! | 0:36:51 | 0:36:52 | |
Ooh! | 0:36:54 | 0:36:55 | |
Also, there was a moment this year | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
when Andy Murray went off for a prolonged break | 0:37:01 | 0:37:05 | |
and he was obviously just going to the toilet | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
and he was having... extended toilet break, | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
but the toilets are really close to the court, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
so the crowd thought, "He's taking his time here," | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
it was about eight minutes, nine minutes, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
so there was a slow clap started. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
Can you imagine the pressure | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
of being sat on the toilet | 0:37:23 | 0:37:25 | |
and you've got 20,000 people doing a slow clap? | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
It's horrible when you're on a plane and someone's knocking on the door. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
Imagine that times 20,000, | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
that's what they have to deal with, these top players. Yeah. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
You don't want to be on the toilet, someone shouting, "Come on, Tim! " | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
Well, doesn't matter what I think, Greg, | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
it's your bonus choice, it's going into Room 101. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
Yes! | 0:37:46 | 0:37:47 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
And that brings us to the end of the show. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
Well done, Bridget, you were the most persuasive guest, | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
so you are this week's winner. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
Thanks very much, Bridget Christie, Greg James and Robert Peston, | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
and thank you, goodnight. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
Everybody loves sitcom. I've watched a lot of telly, | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
and I know them extremely well. I'm hoping to win. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
I'll just do anything to be in a clip. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
Are you having a breakdown? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
A bottomless pit of telly. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 |
