0:00:22 > 0:00:26APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:31 > 0:00:36Hello, I'm Frank Skinner, and welcome to Room 101,

0:00:36 > 0:00:39the show where three guests battle to get the things they hate

0:00:39 > 0:00:42entombed for all eternity in the dreaded vault.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44They'll have to argue their case well

0:00:44 > 0:00:47because in each round, only one item can be chosen.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50The final decision is mine. Let's meet this week's guests.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Joining me tonight are Peep Show David Mitchell,

0:00:53 > 0:00:54sheep show Anita Rani,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57and "Can you show me the way to the friends and family box?"

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Judy Murray.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I dream of the friends and family box, Judy.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09It must be great in there.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- It's a very stressful place to be. - Is it?- Yeah.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14And if you're going in there, you have to learn how to do this.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16LAUGHTER

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Yeah. You do that so well, though.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Thanks. I've been practising for years.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Yes, you've had them whitened and everything.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25OK.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28BELL DINGS Let's get ready to grumble.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33And first of all, I want to find out what is winding up David Mitchell.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Yes, it's, er...people...

0:01:37 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER

0:01:38 > 0:01:41People who get annoyed when you don't remember them.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44I would like them to go in the room.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46OK.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Whoever the hell they are.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49LAUGHTER

0:01:52 > 0:01:53APPLAUSE

0:01:56 > 0:01:59That was beautiful. It started like rain on a roof, but then...

0:01:59 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER

0:02:00 > 0:02:02It grew on them.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Look, I'm not saying it's good to not remember

0:02:04 > 0:02:08someone who you've met before, and if you don't remember someone,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10obviously, you should try and conceal it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13I accept that. You know, if you can't remember someone's name,

0:02:13 > 0:02:15or you're not sure if you've met them at all, or whatever.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Just, you know... nod and smile, say, "Nice to see you."

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Don't make it obvious.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21You know, it's out there.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23You've met this person before, and you haven't remembered them.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Now, I've not been remembered by people,

0:02:26 > 0:02:28and I've never made a thing of it.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I don't think there's any point in making a thing of it,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33because something has happened,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35somewhere deep in the workings of someone's brain,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38and there's nothing to be done about it.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40The remembering has not happened.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43In fact, the person who's angry that I haven't remembered,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46I've only got their word for it that I've met them at all.

0:02:46 > 0:02:47LAUGHTER

0:02:47 > 0:02:49But, you know, nevertheless, I DO believe them,

0:02:49 > 0:02:53because I am quite a thoughtless, forgetful person.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55But why get angry with something that my brain

0:02:55 > 0:02:58has unconsciously failed to do? What am I supposed to do about it?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02Go back in time to the moment when I supposedly met this person and then,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04sort of, do some homework afterwards?

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Revise people I bumped into at that party,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10so that when I meet them next time, I'll go,

0:03:10 > 0:03:12"Oh, yes, hello, Steve," or whatever?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14No, that's not workable.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Leave me alone.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16LAUGHTER

0:03:16 > 0:03:20It's like shouting at children for not being clever enough.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22There's no point in getting annoyed.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25There's no point saying, "I wish your brain was structured

0:03:25 > 0:03:27"in a kinder, more caring way."

0:03:27 > 0:03:31That's just not the way social interaction between humans works.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33We don't address head on the issue

0:03:33 > 0:03:36of whether a person is more or less nice...

0:03:36 > 0:03:38LAUGHTER

0:03:38 > 0:03:41So I say, if someone doesn't remember you, live with it,

0:03:41 > 0:03:45be bitter inside, don't get outwardly annoyed.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48APPLAUSE

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I took my mother-in-law to A&E a couple of weeks ago,

0:03:54 > 0:03:59and a nurse was dealing with me, and this porter said,

0:03:59 > 0:04:00"He's off the telly."

0:04:00 > 0:04:02And she said, "Is it, really?"

0:04:02 > 0:04:05And she was staring at me. It's a bit embarrassing.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07And then she said, "What's your name? I'll Google you."

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Oh, God!

0:04:08 > 0:04:09LAUGHTER

0:04:10 > 0:04:13So I gave her my name and waited.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14And she said...

0:04:15 > 0:04:17"Do you host Room 101?"

0:04:17 > 0:04:18And I said, "Yeah, I do."

0:04:18 > 0:04:21And she said, "That's one of my favourite programmes."

0:04:21 > 0:04:23LAUGHTER

0:04:25 > 0:04:28How are you with names, Judy?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31I've become quite good at pretending I remember people,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33and I just say, "Hi, there."

0:04:33 > 0:04:37I was in Blackpool a couple of years ago with Sunetra Sarker,

0:04:37 > 0:04:40who's an actress on Casualty, and this woman was coming towards us,

0:04:40 > 0:04:44she stopped rigid in front of us, and she said, "I know you."

0:04:44 > 0:04:46And luckily she wasn't pointing at me, she was pointing at Sunetra,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49and she goes, "Do you remember ME?" And she was quite aggressive.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52And Sunetra says, "No, I'm terribly sorry, I don't."

0:04:52 > 0:04:54And the woman said, "I know where I know you from - prison!"

0:04:54 > 0:04:56LAUGHTER

0:05:01 > 0:05:06And was there a little bit of doubt in your mind?

0:05:06 > 0:05:07No, we just ran away.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I was doing a book signing, and a woman came up...

0:05:11 > 0:05:13My family was there, and a woman came up and said,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17"I don't know if you remember me - we had a one-night stand in 1997."

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- You see, THAT'S polite.- Yeah.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, I definitely said thank you.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26You know, she's saying...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29I won't speculate as to whether it's accurate or not -

0:05:29 > 0:05:32but she's saying you've had sex, but even so,

0:05:32 > 0:05:33she's polite enough to think

0:05:33 > 0:05:35that maybe you've forgotten the encounter.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I think that's extremely well-mannered.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42And she's attached a year to it as well, so she's given me some...

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I'm able to narrow it down.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Yeah!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's like Google Earth - I'll just close it in just a little bit.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I'm with you - why get offended by it?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54If it was me, I'd feel bad that you didn't remember me,

0:05:54 > 0:05:56rather than feeling annoyed that you didn't remember me.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Yeah, I mean, there's an onus on a person

0:05:58 > 0:06:01to be at least slightly memorable.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Yeah.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03So...

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Don't get angry at me that you're so forgettable.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Get angry at your personality, and the world.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11You know, it's not my fault.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Sometimes you remember people for being horrible.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yes. Everyone remembered Hitler's name.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yeah. Just the surname we've got, but, yeah.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yeah, just call him Herr Hitler -

0:06:26 > 0:06:28don't let on that you can't remember his first name!

0:06:29 > 0:06:35Here's an aide-memoire that a wife put together for a husband.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38This is a sign that she left on the door so he didn't forget his lunch.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41LAUGHTER

0:06:44 > 0:06:48What I find regrettable there is she obviously has decided her husband

0:06:48 > 0:06:52is just obsessed with breasts and vaginas, and yet...

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Hold on, where's the vagina?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Because the down...- That's an arrow. That's a downward arrow.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh... Oh, you...

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Oh, I see. I saw...

0:07:01 > 0:07:02LAUGHTER

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I assumed...

0:07:10 > 0:07:11What I was thinking

0:07:11 > 0:07:16is she was thinking he would look first at the breasts,

0:07:16 > 0:07:18and then downwards towards the groin.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20There you go - there's no point in hiding it now,

0:07:20 > 0:07:22it has been televised.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I would like to say, however, that on no level

0:07:25 > 0:07:29do I associate the word "lunch" with the word "vagina".

0:07:31 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE

0:07:35 > 0:07:39OK, let's see what is winding up Judy Murray.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Sniffing.- Sniffing - there's a lot of it in showbusiness.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I can't stand sniffing.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52LAUGHTER

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Anyone who sniffs, especially if they sniff constantly,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59is going straight in Room 101, and it'd better be soundproofed.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I sat on a flight on the way down here

0:08:04 > 0:08:06beside a guy who sniffed constantly.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10And I started off looking at him with my best death stare,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13which I usually reserve for people like Novak Djokovic.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Judy, can you show me your evil stare?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21LAUGHTER

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Wow! That's a good one. - And it didn't make any difference.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25And I've always hated sniffing,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27but when you're sitting in close proximity,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30and especially when you're on a flight and you can't move,

0:08:30 > 0:08:31it's just horrendous.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33So eventually, I go into my bag,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36because I always keep a pack of tissues in my bag,

0:08:36 > 0:08:38because of my sniffing...problem.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40LAUGHTER

0:08:40 > 0:08:42And I said, "Would you like a tissue?"

0:08:42 > 0:08:43You actually said that?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yeah. Because it drives me...

0:08:45 > 0:08:49I mean, I don't want to know what's going on up that guy's nose.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51And why don't you just blow your nose?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Why don't you just get it out?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54And I don't want your germs, either.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57But it's... No, sniffing.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Can't stand it. Get in that room. Now.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01I can, er... SLIGHT APPLAUSE

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I can... One person.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05LAUGHTER

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Everyone else is breathing very carefully.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10LAUGHTER

0:09:10 > 0:09:12If you're sniffing, I will hear you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:18I've had catarrh since I was about 12, I think. I've always had it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20So when I heard there was going to be a Qatar World Cup,

0:09:20 > 0:09:21I thought...

0:09:21 > 0:09:23LAUGHTER

0:09:23 > 0:09:25"I should enter that!"

0:09:27 > 0:09:30They have a thing in Japan, erm...

0:09:30 > 0:09:33called the Hay Fever Hat - have you ever heard of that?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35It just so happens I have one here.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36LAUGHTER

0:09:36 > 0:09:40And if you have hay fever, and are in a sniffy situation...

0:09:40 > 0:09:43LAUGHTER

0:09:43 > 0:09:44This is real.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46This is honestly real.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50So...erm... So you...

0:09:50 > 0:09:54What you don't want to do is fall asleep in a public lavatory.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56LAUGHTER

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Which, erm...I haven't done for many years now.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01That used to be my weekend thing.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04If you're sneezing, you just pull this down...

0:10:04 > 0:10:05HE BLOWS HIS NOSE

0:10:05 > 0:10:08..and, erm...

0:10:08 > 0:10:09tear that off.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I can put that in my pocket, and stuff.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15There's never any excuse for sniffing.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I don't know if you'd be allowed on a plane in it.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21It should be mandatory for anybody who has a cold.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25Yeah. And if we all wore them, then no-one would think it was,

0:10:25 > 0:10:26you know, particularly...

0:10:28 > 0:10:29..particularly odd.

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

0:10:34 > 0:10:36So that's the Hay Fever Hat.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38Tremendous!

0:10:38 > 0:10:39I think what's worse than sniffing

0:10:39 > 0:10:45- is when people wipe their snot with their sleeve, you know?- Yes.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I think that's worse.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Sniffing - if you've got no tissue, what do you do?

0:10:49 > 0:10:50It's like, oh, er...

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- But that is... - I'd rather they did that than sniff.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Oh, right.- Would you really?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58It comes in handy for falconry.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59LAUGHTER

0:11:01 > 0:11:04You've got, like, a solid crust for the talons.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07What do you think of this for a piece of nasal activity

0:11:07 > 0:11:11from the world of international tennis, Judy?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15LAUGHTER

0:11:16 > 0:11:18APPLAUSE

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- At least he didn't sniff.- No!

0:11:25 > 0:11:26LAUGHTER

0:11:26 > 0:11:28No.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32He'd run out of bananas that day and needed some protein.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37The handkerchief was quite a big element in lovemaking

0:11:37 > 0:11:40in the 19th century.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's still a fairly big element in lovemaking in my house.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's very lonely at the top.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54But I've got a list here of some of the things...

0:11:54 > 0:11:56So a lady would carry a handkerchief,

0:11:56 > 0:11:59probably a more delicate handkerchief than this,

0:11:59 > 0:12:00and then there are certain...

0:12:00 > 0:12:03So if she dragged it across her cheek like this...

0:12:05 > 0:12:10..that means "I love you." That was what that symbolised.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11So that's one of them.

0:12:11 > 0:12:18The other one is this one, which means "I love another."

0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Stroll on, mate.- "I love another" or "I would love another," as in...

0:12:24 > 0:12:27..a bun or pint, you know.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31"We're dying of thirst over here."

0:12:31 > 0:12:34And then this one,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36which means, "I can't meet you, I'm going on holiday."

0:12:38 > 0:12:40APPLAUSE

0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'm going to have one last chance to win you over,

0:12:47 > 0:12:49and I think this is a bit special.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55"TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR" PLAYS ON RECORDER

0:12:59 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER

0:13:06 > 0:13:11TUNE PLAYS TO END

0:13:11 > 0:13:12Whoa!

0:13:12 > 0:13:14APPLAUSE

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I mean, I think, musically,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think the man has to take some of the credit.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22LAUGHTER

0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, so, what is upsetting Anita?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Walking and eating.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36Particularly if it's a burger, or a kebab, or a pasty,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39or something else that can just flop around.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42You see people at lunchtime walking around with their lunch,

0:13:42 > 0:13:44cos they're so busy that they are on the go,

0:13:44 > 0:13:45"Oh, I haven't got time to sit down.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48"I've just got to eat a sandwich and drink a coffee at the same time,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50"and try and get to my next meeting."

0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's just nonsense. Just sit down.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Take five minutes, and eat your lunch.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55Just have some food.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Because food, to me, is more than just sustenance.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01It's one of the pleasures of life.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Food is the reason I get up in the morning, cos I think,

0:14:04 > 0:14:06"Oh, what am I going to have for breakfast?"

0:14:06 > 0:14:07And then I think, "Great, lunch is on its way."

0:14:07 > 0:14:11And then, "Fantastic! Dinner is round the corner!"

0:14:11 > 0:14:14And it's just that pleasure of sitting down, eating,

0:14:14 > 0:14:16taking your time, and enjoying food.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20So, walking and eating is this sort of dismissive,

0:14:20 > 0:14:26casual attitude to life that I think deserves to go in there forever.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28That's how strongly I feel about it.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30APPLAUSE

0:14:31 > 0:14:32Sorry.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36We have a picture of you here in the street, Anita.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38LAUGHTER

0:14:40 > 0:14:42So it's all right if you've got some poor minion

0:14:42 > 0:14:44holding the stuff for you.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46LAUGHTER

0:14:46 > 0:14:47What about ice creams?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Are they allowed?

0:14:51 > 0:14:52An ice cream cone?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54You have to go and sit down?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55LAUGHTER

0:14:55 > 0:14:57You have to get a napkin?

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Well, there is...

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Do you have to eat it with a knife and fork?

0:15:00 > 0:15:01LAUGHTER

0:15:01 > 0:15:04It's just that it drips down your hand, and you're like...

0:15:04 > 0:15:05and then you can't finish it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I mean, it's just complicated, isn't it?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Yes, it's complicated - that's what childhood is for.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Learning how to eat an ice cream

0:15:12 > 0:15:13in a way that doesn't drip down your hand,

0:15:13 > 0:15:15and it doesn't make the cone go soggy.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18No, make the child sit down and eat that ice cream

0:15:18 > 0:15:21before they have to walk along the beach is what I say.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I'm just going to take it to the nth degree. Even chips.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Even chips, you have to sit down and eat.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28If I'm going to put it in there, let's just go all out.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- A lolly.- Even a lolly.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Sit down, eat it with a spoon.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33LAUGHTER

0:15:33 > 0:15:36You're not getting up until you've finished it.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Have you seen the Japanese napkin mask?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- No.- This is what they use in Japan

0:15:41 > 0:15:43if someone's eating a burger or whatever.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46They put it in a little paper holder.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49That is a picture of a face.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51If you saw the other side of that napkin,

0:15:51 > 0:15:55there'd be a burger in it, like that.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57So if I wanted to eat this in the street

0:15:57 > 0:16:01and people not see me salivating and stuff,

0:16:01 > 0:16:03then I would...

0:16:03 > 0:16:07LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Not bad.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17In Japan, there's a whole thing about eating in a solitary way.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19I think if you go to a Japanese restaurant

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and ask for the best table, they'll put you in a tiny little corner

0:16:22 > 0:16:24and there's restaurants you can go to

0:16:24 > 0:16:26or they're kind of quick-eating joints

0:16:26 > 0:16:29where you just sit and it's a booth for just one and a latch opens

0:16:29 > 0:16:32and a bowl of noodles comes out and you just sit there

0:16:32 > 0:16:35with nobody watching you so you can just eat privately.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I quite like that idea. Maybe we should just...

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Yeah, I quite like that.- Yeah. - That sounds quite good.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Just in your own cubicle, stuffing your face.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46No-one can see you, exactly!

0:16:46 > 0:16:50You could just take a burger into a public toilet.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55This is a thing, it's called the Portable Pizza Pouch,

0:16:55 > 0:16:58and you wear it around your neck...

0:16:58 > 0:17:00LAUGHTER

0:17:00 > 0:17:02..so you've always got a piece.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04You know when you're out and you really need a piece of pizza,

0:17:04 > 0:17:05when you're out walking.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08What worries me, there seems to be an element

0:17:08 > 0:17:10of "Here's my private parts" about it.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13You know, it's like an arrow.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Is he pointing to lunch?

0:17:18 > 0:17:22I've got one. I'll tell you one thing I do really like about it.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26And I worked out that if you, er...

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Bear with me.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30LAUGHTER

0:17:30 > 0:17:31If you, er...

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Just a second.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39RECORDING: # Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler

0:17:39 > 0:17:43# If you think we're on the run?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:45 > 0:17:49# We are the boys who will stop your little game

0:17:49 > 0:17:53# We are the boys who will make you think again... #

0:17:53 > 0:17:56I love this job! LAUGHTER

0:17:56 > 0:17:59# ..Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler... # FRANK: Oh, sorry.

0:17:59 > 0:18:00# If you think old... #

0:18:02 > 0:18:03That's that.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04LAUGHTER

0:18:04 > 0:18:07I'm not going to put this into Room 101

0:18:07 > 0:18:10because what about the homeless, for a start-off?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14I saw a guy eating banana skins out of a wheelie bin.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Was he supposed to push that to the nearest picnic area?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18LAUGHTER

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Erm...

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Now, this one is a bit more difficult.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26I do find the sniffing thing really, really annoying,

0:18:26 > 0:18:28and I'm a big champion of the handkerchief,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30and would like to see that make a comeback.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32I think people, probably, will always get upset

0:18:32 > 0:18:36if you forget their names, and, let's face it, it can happen.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38LAUGHTER

0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, you know what, I am going to put sniffing into Room 101.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:18:54 > 0:18:59And so to the next round, and to Judy's choice.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Inane motorway signs.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11Well, there is nothing worse than driving along,

0:19:11 > 0:19:15and suddenly there's a huge sign in front of you on the motorway,

0:19:15 > 0:19:17which distracts you for a start,

0:19:17 > 0:19:20and maybe because I don't like being told what to do,

0:19:20 > 0:19:22it really annoys me when I see a sign

0:19:22 > 0:19:24that is of no use to me whatsoever,

0:19:24 > 0:19:29that says something like, "Don't take drugs and drive."

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Are you kidding me? I'm already driving.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34That is of no use to me whatsoever.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35LAUGHTER

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Almost as bad as that are the roadwork signs

0:19:38 > 0:19:40that they've been experimenting with,

0:19:40 > 0:19:42and they've been designed by a psychologist

0:19:42 > 0:19:47to help drivers cope with the stress of being stuck in roadworks.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51So they're kind of empathetic signs that say things like,

0:19:51 > 0:19:53"Say no to tailgating."

0:19:53 > 0:19:54LAUGHTER

0:19:54 > 0:19:57"Drive carefully - somebody loves you."

0:19:57 > 0:19:58What?

0:19:58 > 0:19:59What?

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- That's a very big assumption, isn't it?- Are you kidding me?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04How do you know that anybody loves me?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'm not sure that anybody does.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- But anyway...- AUDIENCE:- Aww... - Kidding!

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I've seen that one, "Don't take drugs and drive."

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I wonder, are the people actually going,

0:20:16 > 0:20:18"It's a bit late now, isn't it?"

0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's how much I know about drug taking.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think people who take drugs...

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Just as an example, here's a sort of standard one

0:20:29 > 0:20:32that we've probably all seen, which is there.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33"Keep your distance,"

0:20:33 > 0:20:36which I've always thought would make a lovely lapel badge.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38LAUGHTER

0:20:40 > 0:20:45Erm... Not drugs, but we have an alcohol-based one which I...

0:20:45 > 0:20:46You'll identify with this.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47LAUGHTER

0:20:49 > 0:20:51"After whisky, driving is risky."

0:20:51 > 0:20:53It's not out of the question.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55LAUGHTER

0:20:55 > 0:20:58It reminds me of when I was a young man,

0:20:58 > 0:21:00people used to say stuff like, "Whisky makes you frisky."

0:21:00 > 0:21:03"Brandy makes you randy." And all that stuff.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06What I needed was a drink that rhymed with "totally impotent."

0:21:06 > 0:21:08LAUGHTER

0:21:09 > 0:21:13What about this for the most indiscreet traffic sign ever?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17LAUGHTER

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Oh, brilliant!

0:21:22 > 0:21:24There seems to be more and more.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'd certainly agree with that.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30And one that annoys me is you drive into a place,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33and it just says, "slow down."

0:21:33 > 0:21:38And they've got no idea what a tight schedule I run to.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Or indeed, how quickly you're going.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43That's the thing. Don't try and get inside people's heads.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47What if you were going at a dangerously slow speed?

0:21:47 > 0:21:48They'd need to say, "Speed up!

0:21:48 > 0:21:51"Someone's going to ram in the back of you."

0:21:51 > 0:21:54It should just say, "Drive at the appropriate speed", and then they'd realise,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57we don't need this sign, that's obvious.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58LAUGHTER

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Just say, "Don't be a dick."

0:22:01 > 0:22:03LAUGHTER

0:22:03 > 0:22:05APPLAUSE

0:22:07 > 0:22:10OK, then, what's upsetting Anita Rani?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Clutter.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah. Stuff, really.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20The amount of stuff that we have these days.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22I've moved house quite a few times,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25and every time I move house, I move into a slightly bigger place,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28and I just seem to get more and more stuff.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30And now I've got to a stage where I feel like

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I can't see the wood for the trees.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37Because not only have I got all this stuff, half of it is obsolete,

0:22:37 > 0:22:38I don't really need it any more.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42So I actually did this thing recently, because I read -

0:22:42 > 0:22:43not that I'm into self-help books,

0:22:43 > 0:22:45but there was a book about decluttering.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47So I read it, thought, "OK, let's give it a go."

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Is this The Magic Of Tidying, by any chance?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53I don't know. It's by Mari Kondo, the Japanese woman.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yes, it's The Magic Of Tidying.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Exactly. And she basically says, get everything out of your...

0:22:58 > 0:23:00you start with the clothes, so that's what I started with.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Put everything on the floor, and then take each item of clothing,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06feel it, and if it means something to you,

0:23:06 > 0:23:07put it back in your wardrobe.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Like if you feel like, "Yes, this makes me feel something..."

0:23:10 > 0:23:11So I did it, and it worked.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15And she says put all the other stuff in bin liners and I've got this fantastic wardrobe now

0:23:15 > 0:23:18where I open my wardrobe and I feel joy, I'm like,

0:23:18 > 0:23:19"Yeah, I can see the clothes!"

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Before, just so many clothes, oh...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24And still you think, "I've got nothing, I don't know what to wear."

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Now I see these clothes, and it's like, "OK, yes,

0:23:26 > 0:23:28"I can see that shirt will go with those trousers."

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Except now I've got a problem when I've got a room full of bin liners.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33LAUGHTER

0:23:34 > 0:23:36I just always think when I tidy up,

0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm going to find something really interesting I didn't know I'd got.

0:23:39 > 0:23:44Last time, for example, in the spare bedroom, there was a fitted carpet.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46LAUGHTER

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Exactly!

0:23:48 > 0:23:51We have a tweet of yours, actually, making the same point.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Even your tweets are cluttered.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Cluttered!

0:24:04 > 0:24:08You've got to use it until you run out of characters, don't you?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10What have you done with the self-help book?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Still cluttering the place up?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15That's the one thing I can't get rid of.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Maybe it's because I have a problem with just buying too much stuff.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Because I know that my life would be so much easier if I didn't have it.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23All of it. How many face creams do I need?

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Nine.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I've got a lot of face creams. I've got at least nine.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28- That's a guess.- At least.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32I threw out a load of stuff, and I've started buying...

0:24:32 > 0:24:35buying it back on eBay!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39I used to collect, you know those magazines that make encyclopaedias.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Story Of Pop was one that I had, and I got rid of years ago,

0:24:43 > 0:24:46and I bought it back recently from eBay.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48And it was great to have it back in the house.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50That was a year ago, I haven't opened it, but it's there.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52LAUGHTER

0:24:52 > 0:24:53OK.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54So what's upsetting David Mitchell?

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Sugar lumps.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09You take a commodity that people want to decide how much they want,

0:25:09 > 0:25:15and you congeal it in such a way as to prescribe a minimum dose.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17You don't get that with ketchup.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19You can have as much ketchup on, or as little as you like.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23You don't have to put a minimum of that-sized clod of it.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Sugar exists as a powder in a granulated form -

0:25:27 > 0:25:29why turn it into lumps?

0:25:29 > 0:25:31What are you doing? You're only limiting its usage,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34you're not extending its usage.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37So... There you go, sugar lumps, why do they exist?

0:25:37 > 0:25:43Stop doing it. Stop congealing sugar into lumps.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I don't know why it exists, actually.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54And, do you know, one argument you could make,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56let me play devil's advocate, and I mean devil's.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58They're devils, these people!

0:25:58 > 0:26:04..is you could say it's a useful way to take, you know, an amount of sugar.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08You can then hold it, such as a sugar sachet.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11And obviously, a sugar sachet, that involves paper,

0:26:11 > 0:26:13that's worse for the environment.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16However, there exists, and I have seen this,

0:26:16 > 0:26:20and the people who make these are the real Satans of the world.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Sugar lumps in sachets!

0:26:23 > 0:26:25LAUGHTER

0:26:25 > 0:26:28A lump of sugar in a little plastic...

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Why is THAT allowed to exist?

0:26:31 > 0:26:36What's the point of that? The only defence for the lump,

0:26:36 > 0:26:40the sugar lump that allows bowls of sugar in cafes to get dirtier

0:26:40 > 0:26:44and, "Oh, I'll have that one. Oh, that's a bit of a wonky one."

0:26:44 > 0:26:46This disgusting thing!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49The only defence is a certain level of convenience.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52And then someone decides, well, actually,

0:26:52 > 0:26:55let's take the sachet that also provides that level of convenience

0:26:55 > 0:26:56and put a lump in it.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00These aren't sugar sachets that have been left in the wet or something,

0:27:00 > 0:27:05this is a deliberately formed sugar lump put in a sachet.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06LAUGHTER

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Can you imagine anything more diabolical?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14APPLAUSE

0:27:16 > 0:27:21I think with sugar lumps, probably,

0:27:21 > 0:27:25every sugar lump in a bowl in a cafe

0:27:25 > 0:27:28has been handled by at least 60 to 100 toddlers.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31You're preaching to the converted, but what I'm saying is,

0:27:31 > 0:27:34if you've decided, "OK, sugar lumps are disgusting,

0:27:34 > 0:27:38"let's put sugar in sachets to limit small amounts of it" - why?

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Why?

0:27:39 > 0:27:45Render the sugar into a lump before you put it in a sachet?

0:27:45 > 0:27:46Why?

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Because then the toddler germs won't get on the sugar lump

0:27:50 > 0:27:52you want to use.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53But, no. But, but...

0:27:53 > 0:27:55LAUGHTER

0:27:55 > 0:28:00You... But the unlumpened sugar has the same sweetening effect!

0:28:00 > 0:28:01LAUGHTER

0:28:01 > 0:28:03You don't need to turn it into a lump!

0:28:03 > 0:28:05You can just put it in a sachet!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07The toddlers can't touch it,

0:28:07 > 0:28:10you can have half of it if you don't want the whole thing.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11Everyone wins.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14How do they stick it together? The lump?

0:28:14 > 0:28:15God knows!

0:28:15 > 0:28:17LAUGHTER

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I've heard they get Chinese children to cry.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25LAUGHTER

0:28:27 > 0:28:31But you need sugar lumps to be able to feed sugar to horses.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Well...

0:28:34 > 0:28:37You may have hit upon the only use for the sugar lump.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39But, firstly,

0:28:39 > 0:28:46the instances of equine diabetes are through the roof.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50And secondly, I'm sure we could design some sort of spoon

0:28:50 > 0:28:53for feeding sugar to horses.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Or a tube. We know they can blow out, they can probably...

0:28:56 > 0:28:58Yeah, we could give the horse a kind of...

0:28:59 > 0:29:02We don't want horses snorting sugar!

0:29:03 > 0:29:07The other argument you could make in favour of the sugar lump,

0:29:07 > 0:29:09but you wouldn't, unless, you know, came from hell.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14Another argument you could make is that it saves on, you know,

0:29:14 > 0:29:17washing a piece of cutlery, because you don't need a spoon.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19You can just plop it in. You'll need a spoon to stir.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22But you shouldn't use the same spoon to spoon sugar in as to stir.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24That makes you a monster.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27They have those little tongs, though.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29The days of those tongs are gone now. Hardly...

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Not in Dunblane.

0:29:31 > 0:29:36Really? The last bastion of the sugar tong!

0:29:36 > 0:29:40If you're saying the only way to make the lumps hygienic

0:29:40 > 0:29:43is to use tongs, then you're not saving on cutlery at all.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46That got you.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48LAUGHTER

0:29:48 > 0:29:52But as you pointed out, tongs are on the way out.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55And I, for one, would like to save the tong.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58I've got, in my house, I have sugar tongs.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01I have a coal fire with tongs.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Any excuse to use tongs. I run a small men's clinic.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07LAUGHTER

0:30:07 > 0:30:11I would be sad to see the end of the tong.

0:30:11 > 0:30:12And if you get rid of sugar lumps,

0:30:12 > 0:30:15that is going to be a major blow to the tong industry.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18You're going to keep the sugar lump to save the tongs?

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Yeah.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21This is madness.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25My mum, every time she made a cup of tea,

0:30:25 > 0:30:28she'd put two spoons of sugar in it, and if we had visitors,

0:30:28 > 0:30:31she'd give them the tea and say, "Do you take sugar?"

0:30:31 > 0:30:34And if they said "No," she'd say, "Don't stir it!"

0:30:34 > 0:30:37LAUGHTER

0:30:38 > 0:30:42I swear, I swear to you, I didn't make that up.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43OK, so...

0:30:43 > 0:30:48This is tough. I think you're so right about all this.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51I would only say there are inane road signs,

0:30:51 > 0:30:54but when I'm driving on my own, I'm just glad of something to read.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57So I'm going to keep that in.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00The sugar lump, as I say, as a champion of the tong,

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I just can't...

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Cos there's nothing left.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08The tongs are no good to you if the sugar lump's in a sachet!

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Unless you have tiny little sachet scissors.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14LAUGHTER

0:31:15 > 0:31:19But I have to say, this is something I've never really thought of,

0:31:19 > 0:31:22but clutter, I think, is a really bad thing.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Just endless clutter all over the place.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28So I am going to put clutter into Room 101.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31APPLAUSE

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Now, we just have time for a quick bonus choice

0:31:40 > 0:31:44so let's have a look at David's bonus choice.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Cajun food is upsetting me.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I don't see the need of it.

0:31:59 > 0:32:05Now, I believe Cajun food is supposedly from Louisiana. Fine.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09I'm sure if you go to Louisiana, great. Have Cajun food there. Fine.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12That doesn't have to go in Room 101, as far as I'm concerned.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14The thing I've got a problem with

0:32:14 > 0:32:20is Cajun items showing up on random generic menus,

0:32:20 > 0:32:23often of chain restaurants, in this country

0:32:23 > 0:32:25because no-one wants it.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29No-one ever goes to a restaurant thinking, "Oh, do you know what?

0:32:29 > 0:32:31"I fancy something Cajun."

0:32:31 > 0:32:37No-one... There are no, you will notice, no purely Cajun restaurants.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41It's obviously a cuisine that doesn't stretch to an entire menu.

0:32:41 > 0:32:42LAUGHTER

0:32:42 > 0:32:45And I have a theory about Cajun food

0:32:45 > 0:32:48in the modern British chain restaurant.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51They don't employ the best chefs available

0:32:51 > 0:32:55so what they need to do is turn out stuff

0:32:55 > 0:32:57that's vaguely been cuisined

0:32:57 > 0:33:01and an easy way of turning a random bit of salmon out of a packet

0:33:01 > 0:33:05into apparently a dish is to say it's Cajun

0:33:05 > 0:33:07and you can say it's Cajun

0:33:07 > 0:33:12if a pot of sauce has been used to smear it with some brown stuff.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15"There you go, right, it's Cajun.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17"We've done cookery to it."

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I think it's cheating. It's not proper cuisine.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22The market hasn't asked for it,

0:33:22 > 0:33:27popular demand has not demanded it, but there it is on our menus

0:33:27 > 0:33:32and some people - and I pity them - are sort of dutifully ordering it.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36"Yes, this appears to be sustenance."

0:33:36 > 0:33:38It's a good point that I've never really...

0:33:38 > 0:33:41I'm sure I have ordered Cajun.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Did you really fancy a spot of Cajun,

0:33:43 > 0:33:47that Cajun flavour you so love?

0:33:47 > 0:33:51"Ooh, do you know what will hit the spot now? Something Cajun.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53"Don't care what it is."

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I do think that "o-Cajun-ly".

0:33:55 > 0:33:57LAUGHTER AND GROANS

0:33:57 > 0:33:59APPLAUSE

0:33:59 > 0:34:01If there's any Cajun people watching,

0:34:01 > 0:34:03if you call them that, they...

0:34:03 > 0:34:07No, it's a cuisine. It's not a race or nationality.

0:34:07 > 0:34:12No, but it is French people who went to Louisiana and...

0:34:12 > 0:34:14There's Cajun music. I have some Cajun music here.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17CAJUN MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:21 > 0:34:23LAUGHTER

0:34:27 > 0:34:31- MUSIC STOPS - Yeah, it's generic and forgettable.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33LAUGHTER

0:34:33 > 0:34:36I quite like it. I wouldn't want it for a ringtone, but it's all right.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39It doesn't make me think of a fitted kitchen and chefs.

0:34:39 > 0:34:44It makes me think of people cooking squirrels with a magnifying glass.

0:34:46 > 0:34:52But you're quite right. I would struggle to identify the cuisine.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55There's two famous Cajun dishes.

0:34:55 > 0:35:00There's jambalaya, which you never see in a chain restaurant,

0:35:00 > 0:35:02and gumbo.

0:35:02 > 0:35:03Do you remember Gumbo,

0:35:03 > 0:35:06that film about the elephant with the big gums?

0:35:07 > 0:35:11And they tried to incorporate these enormous gums into the act,

0:35:11 > 0:35:15they used them as crash barriers in the go-karting

0:35:15 > 0:35:18and then in the end, he dies of gingivitis.

0:35:20 > 0:35:26Well, this is Soul-Full Cajun Pasta

0:35:26 > 0:35:32and it says "Mardi Gras in your mouth"...

0:35:32 > 0:35:35LAUGHTER Is the slogan,

0:35:35 > 0:35:37which is a horrible thought.

0:35:37 > 0:35:42I just think of those high-cut leotards and women in plumage.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43HE GAGS

0:35:45 > 0:35:48But this is just, I think, the sort of thing you're talking about.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51I don't know what the cuisine is in this...

0:35:51 > 0:35:54CAJUN MUSIC PLAYS

0:35:54 > 0:35:56LAUGHTER

0:35:56 > 0:35:58MUSIC STOPS

0:36:00 > 0:36:06We've got some odd foodstuffs which have been spotted in supermarkets

0:36:06 > 0:36:11and on menus, all of which would be hard to identify as a cuisine.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Here's the first.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17That one, number 12.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19"Strange flavored chicken"!

0:36:20 > 0:36:22It's more honest, though, isn't it?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24That's the sort of...

0:36:24 > 0:36:27I think it's always unwise when writing a menu

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- just to taste the food and then describe it.- Yeah!

0:36:30 > 0:36:32A menu should be what the food aspires to be,

0:36:32 > 0:36:34rather than what it actually is.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Yes, I don't think the next one... This is a pizza.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39See that at the top?

0:36:39 > 0:36:41LAUGHTER

0:36:42 > 0:36:47And, without doubt, the strangest one, from mainland Europe.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Ooh!

0:36:50 > 0:36:51LAUGHTER

0:36:53 > 0:36:57One of those where you could do a three-year course

0:36:57 > 0:37:00to try and work out how that happened.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06- So you would never order Cajun yourself?- No, I wouldn't, no.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09I seem to have memories of eating Cajun and it was OK.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11And that's the best of it?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13LAUGHTER

0:37:13 > 0:37:17- I'm not claiming that it's inedible. - No.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20I'm saying that nobody particularly likes or wants it

0:37:20 > 0:37:23or I think, in many of the cases

0:37:23 > 0:37:26where it's served, really knows what it is.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27I'll put in this category as well,

0:37:27 > 0:37:30even though it's not a Cajun food, potato skins.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34No-one wants potato skins.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38We've been told endlessly that potato skins are this amazing treat.

0:37:38 > 0:37:44Everyone would rather have chips or mash or crisps or roast potatoes.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Potato skins are no-one's favourite, but do you know what,

0:37:47 > 0:37:50they're really easy for an idiot to cook.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Anyway, it's a bonus choice so it doesn't matter what I think.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56It is going into Room 101.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:03 > 0:38:06And that brings us to the end of the show, and well done, Judy,

0:38:06 > 0:38:09you were the most persuasive guest, so you are this week's winner!

0:38:09 > 0:38:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:14 > 0:38:19Thanks very much, David Mitchell, Judy Murray and Anita Rani.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20And thank you, good night.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23CHEERING
