CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:210:00:24

Hello.

0:00:280:00:29

And welcome to Good News.

0:00:290:00:32

So, what's been happening?

0:00:320:00:34

The BBC interviewed the worst Boris Johnson lookalike ever.

0:00:340:00:38

I've always had concerns about...

0:00:380:00:39

LAUGHTER

0:00:390:00:41

Did you see the moment a bloke turned into a horse on the news?

0:00:410:00:45

You can't sit on your balcony...

0:00:450:00:46

SNORT

0:00:460:00:49

My award for awkward handshake of the week goes to these guys.

0:00:490:00:52

Thank you very much indeed. Bear with us for a second.

0:00:520:00:55

Here's a question.

0:00:570:00:59

Did anyone else see Gollum having a shit on the news?

0:00:590:01:02

Mind you, if you think that's shocking, what the hell is going on

0:01:050:01:08

underneath this blanket?

0:01:080:01:10

..where it's a fair bit colder, especially since they turned

0:01:100:01:13

their central heating off 12 months ago...

0:01:130:01:16

APPLAUSE

0:01:180:01:21

So, what's been going on? Well, the big economic news was this.

0:01:220:01:26

The UK economy has avoided a triple dip recession after it grew

0:01:260:01:30

by 0.3% in the first three months of the year.

0:01:300:01:33

Yay! 0.3%!

0:01:330:01:37

# We're in the money! Come on, honey! #

0:01:380:01:42

I bet everyone was excited, right?

0:01:420:01:44

The analogy that I would draw, it's a bit like finding out

0:01:440:01:47

at a fair that your child's won a lollipop.

0:01:470:01:49

It's good news, but it won't change your life.

0:01:490:01:52

Cheers, Dr Doom!

0:01:530:01:55

"Dad, I've won a lollipop."

0:01:560:01:57

"Yeah, well, you're adopted."

0:01:570:01:59

Did you watch the BBC coverage? They treat us like idiots.

0:02:010:02:05

Look at the location they chose to illustrate economic growth.

0:02:050:02:09

After an awful winter, signs of growth. And not just in the garden.

0:02:090:02:14

A garden centre! Look, everyone!

0:02:140:02:18

The economy is growing, just like trees grow.

0:02:180:02:21

Christ, what would they show if we were still in recession?

0:02:230:02:26

The UK economy is flatlining, just like this guy.

0:02:260:02:30

Argh!

0:02:300:02:31

Back to you in the studio.

0:02:320:02:34

One of the most fascinating parts of the story -

0:02:340:02:37

did you see one of the reasons why we're out of recession?

0:02:370:02:41

According to latest research...

0:02:410:02:43

Well, I am about to put productivity in Britain through the roof.

0:02:480:02:52

LAUGHTER

0:02:570:02:59

Shall we call that 0.4%?

0:02:590:03:02

I'm making changes!

0:03:020:03:04

How does that make you want to work hard?

0:03:090:03:13

All that makes me want to do is find a cat and put him on a toilet.

0:03:130:03:16

If you're going to Google that, here's a tip.

0:03:160:03:19

Don't write slippery pussy.

0:03:190:03:21

It's, er... It's a very different...

0:03:240:03:27

APPLAUSE

0:03:270:03:29

Staying in the world of finance,

0:03:310:03:33

over in Ireland, a great story about winning the lottery.

0:03:330:03:36

The country's newest Lotto millionaire has said he'll be back

0:03:360:03:40

at work on Monday, despite winning 1.2 million euro over the weekend.

0:03:400:03:44

Luckily, he did an interview

0:03:440:03:46

so we all know what it feels like to win the lottery.

0:03:460:03:49

BABBLING: I was with Anne-Marie in the car and we were chatting

0:03:490:03:52

and I look up at the Lotto sign...

0:03:520:03:54

"God, I haven't done the Lotto in a long time..."

0:03:540:03:57

No idea.

0:04:020:04:04

SPEAKING FAST: She looked at me and looked up at the clock

0:04:040:04:07

and said, "Get back in here quick, in the bed..."

0:04:070:04:09

INCOHERENT BABBLING

0:04:090:04:11

Uh-huh.

0:04:130:04:14

Then we looked at the ticket and of course Anne-Marie thought it was...

0:04:140:04:18

INCOHERENT BABBLING

0:04:180:04:21

..she had her examination there and we read the numbers and looked

0:04:210:04:24

and she says, "What, dear? What's wrong?" And I said,

0:04:240:04:27

"I'm going to tell you something..."

0:04:270:04:30

Well, that's that cleared up.

0:04:300:04:32

Did you hear about this?

0:04:360:04:38

A local council candidate for UKIP is facing criticism after

0:04:380:04:42

allegedly posting a series of anti-gay comments on Facebook.

0:04:420:04:46

John Sullivan is accused of writing

0:04:460:04:48

that regular physical exercise in schools can prevent homosexuality.

0:04:480:04:52

Exercise stops you being gay?

0:04:520:04:55

How does that work? "I love cock so much."

0:04:560:04:59

"Mmm, tits!"

0:05:050:05:06

APPLAUSE

0:05:080:05:10

Exercise stops you from being gay. That is bullshit.

0:05:150:05:18

Shall I tell you why, my friends? Two words.

0:05:180:05:21

Louie Spence.

0:05:210:05:23

He is amazingly fit and I don't know if you've noticed this about him...

0:05:250:05:29

LAUGHTER

0:05:290:05:32

..but when it comes to vagina, he ain't a diner.

0:05:320:05:35

He don't lunge...

0:05:440:05:46

for the clunge.

0:05:460:05:47

You're having a howler

0:05:480:05:50

if you think he likes growler.

0:05:500:05:52

It's bollocks, isn't it?

0:05:540:05:55

Some exercise can put you off sex altogether.

0:05:550:05:58

AUDIENCE GROAN

0:06:020:06:05

Not that it's all bad news.

0:06:050:06:06

Over in America, there's been a special birthday.

0:06:060:06:09

YouTube, the video sharing website, is eight years old today.

0:06:090:06:12

From modest beginnings as the brainchild of three men having dinner

0:06:120:06:16

in a flat in California, it's grown into a worldwide phenomenon.

0:06:160:06:19

God bless YouTube! It's given us so much. Pandas sneezing,

0:06:190:06:24

grannies dancing

0:06:240:06:26

and tender family moments like a baby's first steps.

0:06:260:06:30

WOMAN LAUGHS

0:06:300:06:33

Yay!

0:06:370:06:39

Oh, no!

0:06:410:06:42

AUDIENCE LAUGH AND GROAN

0:06:420:06:45

No...

0:06:450:06:47

AUDIENCE GROAN AND APPLAUD

0:06:470:06:49

Thanks, YouTube.

0:06:500:06:52

Over at Sky News,

0:06:550:06:57

they highlighted the most terrifying threat affecting mankind.

0:06:570:07:00

All the snow and ice of recent months may have melted away,

0:07:000:07:03

but its effects could mean a tough summer ahead for hay fever sufferers.

0:07:030:07:07

NOOOOOO!

0:07:070:07:10

Some of us are going to get hay fever!

0:07:100:07:13

Did you see some of the horrific side-effects of this

0:07:130:07:16

heartbreaking disease?

0:07:160:07:18

I get streamy eyes, a runny nose and a sore throat as well.

0:07:180:07:22

I have to take some drugs for it. It's quite debilitating.

0:07:220:07:26

It can last a day or so.

0:07:260:07:27

A DAY!

0:07:290:07:30

Holy shit, a day with a runny nose!

0:07:300:07:34

IS THERE NO GOD?!

0:07:340:07:36

People are dying in Syria, fuck that, that guy's got the snuffles!

0:07:400:07:43

It's such a pathetic disease, isn't it?

0:07:460:07:48

Bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down your face.

0:07:480:07:50

"Who did this to you?"

0:07:500:07:51

"Flowers.

0:07:510:07:53

"They were too powerful."

0:07:540:07:57

It gets better.

0:07:570:07:58

Did you see the graphic that Sky used to explain hay fever?

0:07:580:08:02

Take a look. It's like they're treating us like kids.

0:08:020:08:04

One in five people in the UK suffer from hay fever.

0:08:040:08:07

It's caused by an allergic reaction to pollen.

0:08:070:08:10

The sneezing man says, "Achoo!"

0:08:100:08:12

Now we all understand.

0:08:140:08:16

Christ, what do they do for bowel problems?

0:08:180:08:21

Or STDs.

0:08:240:08:25

Next up, and who would have thunk it,

0:08:300:08:33

but plastic surgery is bad for you.

0:08:330:08:35

A major review into the UK's cosmetics industry has warned

0:08:350:08:38

that injections used to plump up the skin are a crisis waiting to happen.

0:08:380:08:43

Fillers are treated too casually and could go horribly wrong.

0:08:430:08:46

You're telling me.

0:08:460:08:48

You went for the cheap option and it backfired horribly.

0:08:480:08:51

Buy cheap, buy twice, my mum always said.

0:08:510:08:53

It looks really painful.

0:08:530:08:55

It was agonising, to be honest. I'm not going to downplay it.

0:08:550:08:58

Holy shit.

0:08:580:08:59

Looks like a gibbon's arsehole.

0:09:000:09:02

She looks as if she's been on a date with Chris Brown.

0:09:040:09:07

GROANING

0:09:070:09:10

Let's not forget...

0:09:120:09:13

He is, of course, an arsehole.

0:09:160:09:19

"Woman, that's not how you pronounce umbrella!" Now...

0:09:190:09:22

What I don't understand - why do women want big lips?

0:09:230:09:26

I've never heard a bloke go, "What do I like in a woman?

0:09:260:09:29

"I like it when they look like they're kissing a window."

0:09:290:09:32

It's madness. I've never caught a trout and gone,

0:09:350:09:38

"Fucking hell, he's all right.

0:09:380:09:41

"Let's hope fish do have a five-second memory." Thwop! Now...

0:09:410:09:45

GROANING

0:09:450:09:47

Women are beautiful things. You don't need to change your body.

0:09:470:09:52

It's like women who have their anuses bleached. Yeah.

0:09:520:09:55

What, are there men going,

0:09:550:09:56

"She's pretty, clever and funny but her arsehole's mauve"?

0:09:560:10:00

You know me, guys - I like mahogany sapphire.

0:10:010:10:04

Trust me, ladies.

0:10:040:10:05

If you let a guy bum you, he's not bothered about the colour.

0:10:050:10:09

He's not going down there with a Dulux colour chart.

0:10:090:10:12

"I'm terribly sorry, Cynthia, it's the wrong shade.

0:10:150:10:19

"Let's call the whole thing off."

0:10:190:10:21

I'm not against all plastic surgery. Did you hear about this?

0:10:230:10:27

Now, THAT would be amazing!

0:10:340:10:37

Here you go, sir. Three pints.

0:10:370:10:39

Cheers, mate.

0:10:390:10:41

HE STRAINS

0:10:410:10:42

APPLAUSE

0:10:440:10:46

In world news,

0:10:560:10:57

the French president got a lovely gift from the people of Mali.

0:10:570:11:01

An official in Mali presented

0:11:010:11:03

the President of France, Francois Hollande, with a camel

0:11:030:11:06

in gratitude for France's fight against Islamic militants in Mali.

0:11:060:11:10

Unfortunately, he couldn't take the camel back

0:11:100:11:12

so he left it in Mali for safekeeping.

0:11:120:11:15

SCATTERED LAUGHTER

0:11:150:11:18

I wonder how the camel got on.

0:11:180:11:20

He left the animal with a family in Mali who said

0:11:200:11:22

they'd watch it, but shortly after Hollande left Mali

0:11:220:11:24

the family slaughtered the camel and used it to make a stew.

0:11:240:11:28

They ate his camel! "Yeah, yeah, bye!

0:11:280:11:32

"Yeah, we'll look after your camel, yeah!"

0:11:320:11:34

# I feel like camel tonight! Like camel tonight! #

0:11:340:11:38

They ate his camel.

0:11:390:11:42

Do you reckon he called back?

0:11:420:11:43

"Are you all right? What?

0:11:430:11:46

"How's your camel doing? Oh, yeah, he's great, yeah...

0:11:460:11:50

"Yeah, I'll just put him on the phone.

0:11:500:11:52

"Nnnnnyaaaah!"

0:11:570:11:59

"I'm having a great time!"

0:12:020:12:04

"Nobody's eaten me, I'm not dead!"

0:12:060:12:08

Still, the people of Mali need all the help they can get.

0:12:090:12:12

Have you heard about their army?

0:12:120:12:14

If you think budget cuts in this country are tough, have a look

0:12:140:12:17

what their troops have to put up with.

0:12:170:12:19

Due to a lack of ammunition,

0:12:190:12:20

the Mali soldiers have to use their imagination instead.

0:12:200:12:24

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

0:12:240:12:27

They can't afford bullets so they have to pretend.

0:12:300:12:33

"Bang, bang! Bang! This isn't working, call in the air force."

0:12:330:12:37

Just one bloke, "Nyyeeeaaaah!"

0:12:370:12:39

Gosh, what do their tanks look like, this?

0:12:430:12:45

AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:12:450:12:48

I'd love to see the arguments when they're training.

0:12:480:12:50

"Bang, bang, you're dead, 50 bullets in your head."

0:12:500:12:53

"I'm not dead - my leg was off the floor

0:12:530:12:55

"and I'm wearing an invisible cloak that repels bullets.

0:12:550:12:58

"So jog on, Ibrahim."

0:12:580:13:00

Also, what if you can't do the noise? Imagine that. "Eh, eh, eh.

0:13:010:13:06

"Eh, eh, eh." Just a load of sheep, "Someone say my name?"

0:13:060:13:09

Still, it could be worse.

0:13:090:13:11

Look what their search and rescue team have to put up with.

0:13:110:13:14

"Arrrggghhh!"

0:13:160:13:18

GROANING

0:13:180:13:21

Mind you, if you think the Mali Army are having a hard time,

0:13:210:13:24

check out what's happening to the Germans.

0:13:240:13:27

I'm not making this up. Look at this.

0:13:350:13:38

Soldiers with tits.

0:13:470:13:49

That would really freak out the enemy, wouldn't it?

0:13:490:13:52

"OK, men, ready, aim... Fuck me!"

0:13:520:13:55

Imagine that on the battlefield.

0:13:570:13:59

"Stand still or I swear to God I'll motorboat you."

0:13:590:14:02

"How did he look when he died?" "Really happy."

0:14:040:14:07

One thing you can guarantee, if this happens to our soldiers

0:14:070:14:11

it's really going to affect training drills.

0:14:110:14:13

Gentlemen, not all of you will survive

0:14:150:14:18

but those that do will have...

0:14:180:14:20

Do you want to fucking pay attention?

0:14:200:14:22

Oh, fellas, come on.

0:14:230:14:26

They're just a massive pair of tits.

0:14:260:14:28

Guys, they're just huge whammers, what's wrong with you people?

0:14:300:14:35

THAT...

0:14:350:14:36

That is the best sketch we've ever done. I... I had those...

0:14:360:14:40

APPLAUSE

0:14:400:14:43

I had those boobs for a week, they were amazing.

0:14:450:14:48

Back in Blighty, scandal has hit the world of horse racing.

0:14:520:14:56

British horseracing has been hit by its biggest ever doping scandal

0:14:560:15:00

after 11 horses from the Godolphin stable were found to have been

0:15:000:15:04

drugged with banned steroids.

0:15:040:15:05

Horses are on roids.

0:15:050:15:08

What are they going to look like, this?

0:15:080:15:10

Mind you, let's see a jockey try and whip him.

0:15:120:15:14

"Midget, you touch me again, I'll put my hoof up your ass!"

0:15:160:15:20

Apparently they knew something was wrong

0:15:200:15:22

when the horses ran the race with the jockey in his arms.

0:15:220:15:25

Just, "Get out of the fucking way!"

0:15:250:15:28

"Arrrrgggh!"

0:15:280:15:30

Tell you what, if this catches on it's really going to change gyms.

0:15:320:15:35

To be honest, it could have been worse.

0:15:540:15:58

With the size of their noses, imagine if they had been on coke.

0:15:580:16:01

"Awww, man! We should jump some fences and do a rodeo

0:16:030:16:05

"and write a novel and move to France and take up hang gliding

0:16:050:16:08

"and start a restaurant and make an album and go to Mars...

0:16:080:16:11

"I'm off my fucking hooves!"

0:16:130:16:16

To be honest, it's not horses on roids you want to worry about.

0:16:210:16:25

Some of them are on acid.

0:16:250:16:26

MUSIC: "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac

0:16:300:16:32

And it didn't end well for that fella.

0:16:370:16:40

APPLAUSE

0:16:450:16:48

Not that it's the only animal story in the news.

0:16:500:16:53

Did you see this belter about a bloke from Wales

0:16:530:16:56

that fought a shark?

0:16:560:16:57

A Welsh grandfather who helped wrestle a shark

0:16:570:17:00

away from children on a beach in Australia -

0:17:000:17:02

you may have seen the footage - he's been sacked from his job

0:17:020:17:05

after his employers saw the incident on television.

0:17:050:17:08

Basically, he was away from work on sick leave and

0:17:080:17:10

while he was on holiday, he saved some kids from a shark.

0:17:100:17:13

His boss saw it on telly and sacked him.

0:17:130:17:16

You can't sack him, he's amazing!

0:17:160:17:18

Is this not the most incredible description of a shark attack ever?

0:17:180:17:22

I'm there, you know, enjoying the sunshine

0:17:220:17:26

and all of a sudden you get this scream of, "Help! Shark!"

0:17:260:17:30

And there's this beautiful shark.

0:17:300:17:33

And it's an absolutely beautiful specimen.

0:17:330:17:35

The trouble is that sharks and young people don't mix.

0:17:350:17:38

"I said it. I don't care who knows.

0:17:400:17:43

"Sharks, children - not a good idea."

0:17:430:17:46

He's brilliant. Listen...

0:17:460:17:50

Listen to what he thought when he met the shark.

0:17:500:17:53

When I see his mouth wide open, his jaws wide open,

0:17:530:17:56

and I'm looking at them teeth, I think to myself...

0:17:560:17:59

"Am I going to die?

0:17:590:18:00

"How will I be remembered?"

0:18:000:18:02

"Why the hell have you got so many teeth?"

0:18:020:18:04

"I said, 'Fucking hell, man, he looked like Luis Suarez!'"

0:18:080:18:11

Imagine him in Jaws.

0:18:120:18:14

-How much better would that film be?

-HE HUMS JAWS THEME

0:18:140:18:17

"Oi, Dreyfuss, look at the molars on this bastard!

0:18:170:18:21

"You want to get down a dentist, bud."

0:18:210:18:24

From fighting sharks to a sexy thief.

0:18:240:18:27

If you've decided you have to steal a sex toy,

0:18:270:18:29

you might as well steal the most extravagant one you can.

0:18:290:18:32

According to the AP, an armed robber in Brazil made off from a swanky

0:18:320:18:36

adult store with a 4,000, 18-carat gold-plated vibrator on Wednesday.

0:18:360:18:40

He stole a four-grand golden vibrator.

0:18:410:18:44

You're probably thinking, "Wow, some lucky lady is going to enjoy that."

0:18:440:18:48

Not really.

0:18:480:18:49

"I'm going to give you the evening of your life... Oh, bollocks."

0:18:520:18:56

Never mind, we'll just do what they do in Mali. "Brrrrrrr..."

0:18:590:19:02

APPLAUSE

0:19:040:19:07

This is the part of the show I genuinely don't know anything about.

0:19:090:19:12

There's a mystery guest who has been in the news.

0:19:120:19:14

I have to figure out who that person is.

0:19:140:19:16

So, please welcome our mystery guest.

0:19:160:19:19

CHEERING

0:19:190:19:21

-Hello. How are you?

-I'm all right, thank you.

0:19:240:19:28

-Nice to meet you.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-All right, thank you.

0:19:330:19:36

-What's your name?

-Lauren.

-Lauren, I'm Russell.

0:19:360:19:38

-I see you have Albert Einstein here.

-Yes.

0:19:380:19:41

-So, presumably it has something to do with the mind.

-Yes.

-OK.

0:19:410:19:45

What could it be?

0:19:450:19:46

Are you one of those unfortunate people in life

0:19:500:19:53

that has...no brain?

0:19:530:19:55

-Funnily enough, no.

-"No..."

0:19:570:19:59

Is it something to do with this?

0:20:000:20:02

This looks a bit like a crystal ball type thing.

0:20:020:20:04

-Are you a Mystic Meg type figure?

-No.

-Can you see into the future?

0:20:040:20:08

-I wish.

-You wish?

0:20:080:20:10

-That'd be good.

-Predict. You never know, you might get it right.

0:20:100:20:14

What will happen tomorrow? What will happen tomorrow in that lady's life?

0:20:140:20:17

I'll put my hand on her head, see if you can guess.

0:20:170:20:20

Touch me, touch me so it makes sense.

0:20:200:20:22

What's going to happen? What's going to happen? Go!

0:20:220:20:25

You're going to get a bus somewhere.

0:20:250:20:27

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:270:20:30

Wow!

0:20:360:20:37

You're like a wizard!

0:20:380:20:40

It's going to be so awkward if you get hit by a bus tomorrow.

0:20:420:20:45

"Oh, my dreams... Arrgh!"

0:20:450:20:46

So, are you a member of Mensa?

0:20:470:20:51

Are you one of the wisest girls in the country?

0:20:510:20:54

-Yeah, that's pretty much what it is.

-That's it?

0:20:540:20:57

So why have you been in the news?

0:20:580:21:00

I was in the news for being a 16-year-old with an IQ

0:21:000:21:03

higher than Albert Einstein.

0:21:030:21:05

Really? Oh, come on, that's amazing!

0:21:050:21:07

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:070:21:10

You're like...

0:21:100:21:12

"Yeah, whatever.

0:21:130:21:15

"Sometimes I can get a tea bag, throw it across the room

0:21:150:21:18

"and it lands in a cup, so... we've all got skills."

0:21:180:21:21

Aaaahh!

0:21:220:21:24

-What's your IQ?

-161.

-What's that loser's?

0:21:240:21:27

-Um, it was only predicted, but 160.

-It was only predicted?

0:21:270:21:31

-Yeah.

-Smells like bullshit, honey.

0:21:310:21:33

-Who predicted that?

-I'm not sure.

0:21:350:21:37

You should know that, surely.

0:21:370:21:38

-I probably should!

-What's it like being really clever?

0:21:380:21:41

It must be fantastic. Are you cleverer than your mum?

0:21:410:21:44

She'd like me to say no but I'd like to think yeah.

0:21:440:21:47

You know those signs that say "Please don't go on the grass"?

0:21:480:21:52

-Yeah.

-How do they get there?

0:21:520:21:54

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:21:540:21:58

Have you ever done anything stupid?

0:22:010:22:03

Because you're wise, do you ever wig out and do silly things?

0:22:030:22:06

-I'm always doing stupid things.

-Like what?

0:22:060:22:09

Well, one of the main things is I constantly burn myself when...

0:22:090:22:13

I was thinking more like, "Oh, I dress up dogs," not self-harm!

0:22:160:22:20

"I don't know the answers! I don't know the answers!"

0:22:200:22:23

-No, like...

-Don't attack yourself with a Bunsen burner,

0:22:230:22:25

you'll learn new things.

0:22:250:22:26

I was curling my hair in the mirror and it looked

0:22:260:22:29

the opposite way so I rolled it into my head rather than out!

0:22:290:22:32

That's lovely.

0:22:330:22:35

Have you had a lot of media attention with your wise mind?

0:22:350:22:38

Um, yeah, it's all been really overwhelming.

0:22:380:22:41

-I was on Twitter last night...

-Nice. One sec.

0:22:410:22:43

-HE BURPS

-Carry on.

0:22:430:22:45

I'm gassy, I'm gassy.

0:22:460:22:47

I'm just... Baby got gas.

0:22:510:22:52

-It's fine, I've got a dad.

-You've got a dad?

0:22:520:22:55

Showoff!

0:22:550:22:56

Clever and you hate orphans.

0:22:580:23:00

So you were on Twitter last night?

0:23:010:23:03

Yeah, and I tweeted, "Oh, I'm so bored."

0:23:030:23:05

And Edwina Currie tweeted me back saying,

0:23:050:23:07

-"Don't be bored, sweetheart, read a book, preferably mine."

-Really?

0:23:070:23:11

-What did you say back?

-I just re-tweeted it.

0:23:110:23:13

"Edwina, what was it like sucking off John Major?"

0:23:140:23:17

-Did you not know that?

-No.

-I did.

0:23:190:23:22

Oh, yes.

0:23:240:23:25

How have you dealt with all this media attention?

0:23:280:23:31

Most of it's been really positive, so it's been nice.

0:23:310:23:33

I've had a few negative things -

0:23:330:23:35

some woman was like,

0:23:350:23:36

"Oh, you're doing well but get rid of those ratty hair extensions,"

0:23:360:23:39

and I thought, "It's my real hair."

0:23:390:23:41

GROANING

0:23:410:23:42

Why did she say that?

0:23:420:23:44

It was on one of the newspaper articles on the internet,

0:23:440:23:47

-and then you can comment on it and stuff.

-Oh, really?

0:23:470:23:50

Fuck, what a bunch of tools. It's so weird, isn't it?

0:23:500:23:52

Particularly on the Daily Mail,

0:23:520:23:54

there was once a thing on the Daily Mail comments.

0:23:540:23:56

Kerry Katona was trying to move a cupboard, right,

0:23:560:23:59

and she put it in her car and it wouldn't fit and, amazingly,

0:23:590:24:01

this was a story in the Daily Mail.

0:24:010:24:03

Somebody wrote underneath, in capital letters,

0:24:030:24:05

"I've said it before, I'll say it again, Katona - get a van."

0:24:050:24:09

My friend Carl has got no hair. Carl, come here.

0:24:100:24:13

-Can I just grab your hair? Is that all right?

-Go for it.

-Come here.

0:24:130:24:17

He'd kill...

0:24:170:24:18

He'd kill for that and...

0:24:200:24:22

APPLAUSE

0:24:240:24:26

-People should never take hair for granted.

-Don't.

0:24:280:24:30

Cherish it while you have it, that's my advice.

0:24:300:24:33

-Tell you what, life doesn't get weirder than that, does it?

-No.

0:24:330:24:36

I bet you thought when you woke up this morning

0:24:360:24:38

you'd never have a bald man lean there.

0:24:380:24:40

Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for my mystery guest!

0:24:400:24:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:440:24:46

Elsewhere this week, did you hear about this?

0:24:480:24:51

Rugby player Danny Cipriani has been discharged from hospital.

0:24:510:24:54

He was kept in overnight after being hit by a bus during a night out

0:24:540:24:57

in Leeds yesterday.

0:24:570:24:59

Did you see what he did to the bus?

0:24:590:25:01

He fucked it up!

0:25:010:25:04

How hard is he?!

0:25:040:25:05

He was released from hospital the next day,

0:25:050:25:08

the bus is still in intensive care.

0:25:080:25:10

Apparently he got pissed and ran in the road.

0:25:120:25:15

When I'm pissed I like a bit of a dance, he's like,

0:25:150:25:17

"I want to play Froggy."

0:25:170:25:19

Imagine the passengers. "Oh, my God, we've hit someone. I hope he's OK.

0:25:200:25:24

"What?

0:25:240:25:25

"He's the bloke that goes out with Kelly Brook? Reverse it."

0:25:250:25:28

IMITATES REVERSING NOISE

0:25:300:25:31

Sorry, Danny.

0:25:310:25:32

Mind you, you've got to feel sorry for Danny Cipriani.

0:25:340:25:36

He's a professional rugby player, he's played for England.

0:25:360:25:39

What was Daily Star's front cover?

0:25:390:25:41

It doesn't matter what he does, it's always about her.

0:25:440:25:47

"Danny Cipriani's found the cure for cancer!

0:25:470:25:49

"Check out Kelly's bangers."

0:25:490:25:50

Next up, a lovely story about a man in India who created a school

0:25:560:25:59

under a bridge.

0:25:590:26:00

Indian shopkeeper Rajesh Kumar Sharma

0:26:030:26:05

has set up a school under a busy railway bridge in New Delhi.

0:26:050:26:09

The outdoor classroom consists of three blackboards

0:26:190:26:22

painted on walls, and rugs for the children to sit on.

0:26:220:26:25

Around 40 pupils aged between four and 12 attend the unusual classroom

0:26:460:26:50

for two hours each day,

0:26:500:26:52

learning maths and basic reading and writing skills.

0:26:520:26:55

Many students are from impoverished families living in nearby slums

0:26:550:26:59

where schools are limited.

0:26:590:27:00

Rajesh, who provides all reading and writing materials for free,

0:27:000:27:04

one day hopes to build a real facility for the children.

0:27:040:27:07

There you go, what a dude.

0:27:250:27:27

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:270:27:28

Next up, it's time for some stand-up.

0:27:310:27:33

Now, this lady is fantastic, wonderful.

0:27:330:27:35

Please welcome to the stage the brilliant Aisling Bea!

0:27:350:27:39

Hey!

0:27:390:27:42

Hello.

0:27:420:27:45

Hi, everyone. Are you all well?

0:27:450:27:47

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

0:27:470:27:48

There you are. Oh, look at that.

0:27:480:27:50

The last time I saw my name written that many times

0:27:500:27:53

was on the wall of a toilet in the town that I'm from.

0:27:530:27:56

But look how far I've come. Hurray!

0:27:560:27:58

Which is also quite similar to something else that was

0:27:580:28:01

written on the wall of the toilet.

0:28:010:28:03

So, yay!

0:28:030:28:05

I am just delighted to be here, really.

0:28:050:28:07

I feel a bit like Niall Horan in One Direction, do you know what I mean?

0:28:070:28:10

For those of you who don't know, One Direction is like a group of

0:28:100:28:13

singing children made up entirely of fringes and inappropriate thoughts.

0:28:130:28:18

And Niall Horan is the Irish one and he is just so happy to be there,

0:28:180:28:22

because the group is made up of four angels and Niall,

0:28:220:28:26

and Niall is just a normal lad.

0:28:260:28:29

He is all of us and he is just so delighted to be there.

0:28:290:28:32

Like, you always see the camera panning across them all

0:28:320:28:34

and it's just like,

0:28:340:28:35

# You're insecure Don't know what for

0:28:350:28:38

# You're turning heads as you walk through the

0:28:380:28:40

# DOOR! #

0:28:400:28:42

Yeah! There is Niall at the end

0:28:420:28:44

and he is just not doing the same things as anyone else.

0:28:440:28:47

Just clicking away, winking, winking away. Winking is like Irish heroin.

0:28:470:28:52

"Argh!" We love that, do you know what I mean?

0:28:520:28:54

Everyone says, "Oh, Aisling, you shouldn't be so hard on Niall

0:28:540:28:57

"because he's, you know, the one in the group,"

0:28:570:29:00

but you know that he is hoovering up the poonani

0:29:000:29:03

that the pretty ones do not want.

0:29:030:29:05

"Just delighted to be here!"

0:29:050:29:07

I often have to go back to visit my mother in Ireland

0:29:090:29:13

and she thinks I live this crazy life in London

0:29:130:29:15

where I, like, brush my teeth with cocaine and wipe my ass with money,

0:29:150:29:19

do you know what I mean?

0:29:190:29:21

So she thinks that every time I go home to Ireland

0:29:210:29:26

she has to remind me about death. So I come in the door and I'm like,

0:29:260:29:30

"Hey, Mammy. How are you? Great to be home."

0:29:300:29:32

"Well, you'll never believe who's dead," and you're like...

0:29:320:29:36

"Mother, buzz kill, come on."

0:29:360:29:38

And then what ensues is what I can only describe

0:29:380:29:40

as a game of Death Guess Who?

0:29:400:29:42

Where I'm like, "I don't know who is dead, Mum. Oh, for...

0:29:420:29:46

"Does he have a moustache?"

0:29:460:29:48

"No."

0:29:480:29:49

"Fine. Does he wear a hat?" "Not any more."

0:29:490:29:52

And so when I go home, I like to use my acting for bad

0:29:540:29:57

so I go in the door and I'm like, "Hey, Mammy, how is it going?

0:29:570:29:59

"How's everything been?"

0:29:590:30:00

And she's like, "Well, you will never believe who is dead."

0:30:000:30:03

And at that stage I just go...

0:30:030:30:05

And I basically, I basically just fall to the floor dead.

0:30:090:30:15

A great way to teach children about death is with pets.

0:30:150:30:20

Psychologically, it is a great way to teach children about death.

0:30:200:30:23

So, you know like, you buy your child a hamster

0:30:230:30:26

and then after five years, when it is attached to it, you break its neck!

0:30:260:30:31

And then you go, "Right. Now I am going to teach you what is going to

0:30:310:30:34

"happen to granny very soon, do you know what I mean?

0:30:340:30:37

"And then you die and they die and the circle continues."

0:30:370:30:40

When I was growing up, we had this pet rabbit called Bubbles

0:30:400:30:44

and Bubbles, I thought, had a great life.

0:30:440:30:47

You know, just running around, pooing in our shoes.

0:30:470:30:50

I was like, "There is a guy who knows how to party."

0:30:500:30:53

But you never know what is going on inside someone's head, lads.

0:30:530:30:57

And one night, Bubbles got at his hutch

0:30:570:31:00

and he bit away at the wire in his hutch like this, until it sort of

0:31:000:31:04

came out in a long spear

0:31:040:31:06

and then he turned himself around, and he reversed his arsehole onto

0:31:060:31:10

that spear and it punctured every single organ on the way up.

0:31:100:31:16

They say he died of a broken heart in the end.

0:31:160:31:19

So the next morning, my mother had to sort of - ppffftt! -him off the wire

0:31:190:31:26

and it was up to my neighbour Jim Murphy to bury Bubbles the rabbit.

0:31:260:31:29

And so Jim dug a grave for Bubbles as he remembered him, which is

0:31:290:31:33

a small little rabbit like this, but when rabbits die,

0:31:330:31:36

they don't die as they were.

0:31:360:31:38

They die with their arms longer than their ears

0:31:380:31:40

and the legs longer than their short lives,

0:31:400:31:42

and so my first memory of death was basically standing in front of

0:31:420:31:44

this grave with Jim Murphy in front of me, and going,

0:31:440:31:47

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

0:31:470:31:50

"Dear Jesus, we give you Bubbles the rabbit to bury,

0:31:500:31:53

"to go to heaven with all the other angel rabbits."

0:31:530:31:55

I couldn't believe it, there was Jim Murphy in front of me shoving

0:31:550:31:59

Bubbles into the grave with the end of his welly boot like this.

0:31:590:32:03

And still to this day, lads, whenever I have bad sex...

0:32:030:32:07

I can't help but be reminded of Jim Murphy shoving that flaccid

0:32:070:32:11

rabbit into a hole that was made for a live one, you know?

0:32:110:32:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:32:140:32:16

A great way to end up not dead in general is to sort of look

0:32:200:32:24

after yourself and be into exercise, and that's a great idea in theory.

0:32:240:32:28

They say that you should really go running for your sanity

0:32:280:32:31

and stuff, but I would rather be as mad as a pair of cats fighting

0:32:310:32:35

to get out of a sack than go for a run, which is actually,

0:32:350:32:39

when I don't wear a sports bra, quite the same thing that it looks like.

0:32:390:32:42

Like a pair of cats trying to fight out of a sack.

0:32:420:32:44

There is only one exception to that rule and that is dancing.

0:32:440:32:48

OMG, shit the bed, lads, I love me some dancing. I really do.

0:32:480:32:51

I know you're all looking at me going,

0:32:510:32:53

"Aisling, we all know what type of dancing you like."

0:32:530:32:55

SINGS IRISH DITTY

0:32:550:32:58

Hip-hop, actually. Hip-hop, you xenophobes.

0:32:580:33:00

I love hip-hop, I really do, lads.

0:33:000:33:02

Even now, you are listening to all this really good English

0:33:020:33:05

coming out of my mouth, but inside my mind I'm like,

0:33:050:33:07

# My palms are sweaty, knees are weak Arms are spaghetti... #

0:33:070:33:10

Always hip-hop, do you know what I mean?

0:33:100:33:12

Myself and my sister Sinead are mad into the hip-hop

0:33:120:33:14

and we go wiggedy-wiggedy-wack, you know, as soon as a new urban

0:33:140:33:18

hip-hop street dance movie comes out.

0:33:180:33:20

You know the type of film I'm talking about?

0:33:200:33:23

It's like Romeo and Juliet but with street dance.

0:33:230:33:26

The storyline is always like he is from one form of dance,

0:33:260:33:29

she is probably from another form of dance.

0:33:290:33:32

She has a bit of a dead parent,

0:33:320:33:34

he is a stripper but really he wants to be a carpenter. Ohhh!

0:33:340:33:38

She teaches underprivileged kids

0:33:380:33:40

how to do hip-hop at the local community centre.

0:33:400:33:42

Oh, but wait, the community centre is going to close down. Argh!

0:33:420:33:48

But wait now, there is a talent show

0:33:480:33:51

with the exact same amount of prize money needed

0:33:510:33:54

to fix the community centre. Hurray!

0:33:540:33:57

Myself and Sinead are in that cinema and we are eating this for breakfast.

0:33:570:34:00

We are like, "Oh, my God. The odds are really stacked against them.

0:34:000:34:04

"I don't know if he is ever going to stop being a stripper."

0:34:040:34:07

We come out of that cinema and we are like,

0:34:070:34:09

"Sinead, how are we going to get home?"

0:34:090:34:10

"The only way we know how, through hip-hop.

0:34:100:34:13

"Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh."

0:34:130:34:17

Takes us ages to get home.

0:34:170:34:19

But the only thing is, living in London

0:34:190:34:22

and being mad into the hip-hop dancing as I am,

0:34:220:34:25

I find dancing is very segregated

0:34:250:34:28

so when I want to go and do my hip and my hop dancing,

0:34:280:34:31

I have to go to a hip-hop club and like, say for example, if I was

0:34:310:34:34

into cheesy music, I'd have to go somewhere for cheesy people,

0:34:340:34:38

or if I wanted to go and listen to funk music,

0:34:380:34:40

I would have to go somewhere for douche bags, you know?

0:34:400:34:44

There's something for everyone but nothing for everyone.

0:34:440:34:48

And that's very different to when I was growing up,

0:34:480:34:50

because when I was growing up in the small town of Kildare,

0:34:500:34:53

there was only one nightclub for about a 20-mile radius

0:34:530:34:57

and that nightclub had to cater for all sorts of musical tastes. Why?

0:34:570:35:02

Because for a 20-mile radius, that nightclub was the only

0:35:020:35:06

place for young people to breed.

0:35:060:35:08

And so it had to cater for all sorts of musical tastes.

0:35:090:35:12

The DJ was a bit like David Attenborough.

0:35:120:35:15

He knew exactly what music to play to bring the males

0:35:150:35:18

and the females together at the watering hole, or their dance floor.

0:35:180:35:23

It is 9pm and all the females arrive.

0:35:230:35:25

All the females always travel in packs and they are all very nervous.

0:35:250:35:29

We are all very nervous women.

0:35:290:35:30

We've only had about nine vodkas.

0:35:300:35:33

We are all covered head to toe in wash-off fake tan, some of us

0:35:330:35:37

have stood up before we've entirely finished our wee and there's

0:35:370:35:40

a bit of a trickle and you have to go blending it back in

0:35:400:35:44

as you walk out.

0:35:440:35:45

And the whole big thing now is to get the women onto the dance floor.

0:35:450:35:50

So you play music that women can mime to.

0:35:500:35:55

Yeah! Women love miming.

0:35:550:35:58

They do! They love miming!

0:35:580:36:00

Given a choice between walking somewhere

0:36:000:36:02

and following an invisible rope,

0:36:020:36:04

women will always follow the invisible rope.

0:36:040:36:06

They love miming! They're down on the dance floor going,

0:36:060:36:09

"No, I don't want no scrubs. Come on, Eileen."

0:36:090:36:13

They love that, they think they're hilarious.

0:36:130:36:15

But there is a problem with this picture here.

0:36:150:36:17

As the French would say, "Ou est le cock?" Where is a cock?

0:36:170:36:21

There is no cock on that dance floor.

0:36:210:36:22

You have to get some men down there so you have to lay some bait,

0:36:220:36:25

so what do all males love?

0:36:250:36:27

What do all men love of all races, religions and creeds?

0:36:270:36:31

What do they all love? Sluts! Sluts! They all love the sluts, they do.

0:36:310:36:34

So you play music while empowered women -

0:36:340:36:36

as the men who keep telling them to keep singing without their tops on

0:36:360:36:39

tell them that they are...

0:36:390:36:40

So when I was growing up, it was like,

0:36:400:36:42

# Duh-duh! Going to get a little unruly! #

0:36:420:36:44

And we were off. And we were having sex with each other's legs

0:36:440:36:47

or having sex with the walls, all like this. It's very important,

0:36:470:36:52

if you're a woman dancing, that you dance like you're a man having sex.

0:36:520:36:56

If you dance like a woman having sex, you look like a joyous baby.

0:36:560:36:59

Do you know what I mean?

0:36:590:37:01

So you're there and you go,

0:37:010:37:03

# Going to get a little unruly! #

0:37:030:37:04

And now women release their final form of bait which is their hair.

0:37:040:37:08

Yeah, very much in the same way a female cat will lift up her tail

0:37:080:37:14

and release her arse scent into the wild, a woman uses her hair.

0:37:140:37:19

So we're like, # Dirty! Going to get a little unruly! #

0:37:190:37:22

And we are off and we are going mad

0:37:220:37:23

and we are cleaning the floor with our hair and everything is going on.

0:37:230:37:28

The men are over by the dance floor and they are like, "Jesus,

0:37:280:37:31

"there seems to be an awful lot of hair going on on the dance floor.

0:37:310:37:34

"I think something might be afoot." That is right, lads.

0:37:340:37:37

Sluts are afoot, get ye down there.

0:37:370:37:39

You couldn't just walk into that if you are a man,

0:37:390:37:43

you could get your knob punched. Be very, very careful.

0:37:430:37:47

So you have to play something that men can dance to, you have to

0:37:470:37:52

get the men down there.

0:37:520:37:53

What does the DJ play?

0:37:530:37:54

# Duh, dun-dun-duh! #

0:37:540:37:58

Jump Around! Men love jumping. They love jumping.

0:37:580:38:04

Give it a choice between walking somewhere and jumping,

0:38:040:38:06

a man will always choose to jump.

0:38:060:38:09

As soon as a DJ sees that there is some eye contact being made,

0:38:090:38:12

he slows things down, but not too dramatically, quite slowly,

0:38:120:38:16

with some happy hard-core dance music.

0:38:160:38:19

Yes, dance music is used to mop up all the idiots around the sides

0:38:190:38:24

who think that they can't dance, but everyone can dance to dance music.

0:38:240:38:27

It is named after the main form of dance which is dance!

0:38:270:38:30

Unlike mime, you don't have to listen to the storyline because, basically,

0:38:300:38:34

you just pretend to be doing stuff from around the house -

0:38:340:38:36

chopping bread, buttering the bread, checking your Facebook,

0:38:360:38:41

whatever you want to do because dance music is just a series of beeps.

0:38:410:38:45

BEEPS RAPIDLY

0:38:450:38:48

Then, and I am not being xenophobic,

0:38:480:38:50

but a Germanic person singing a sentence that no-one understands.

0:38:500:38:54

# Tell me why do we build castles in...? #

0:38:540:38:57

I don't know why you are building castles in the sky, to be honest.

0:38:570:39:01

The men and the women are, they are circling each other now

0:39:010:39:03

and it is all going well.

0:39:030:39:05

As soon as the DJ sees them circling each other,

0:39:050:39:07

it is time to drop the slow set.

0:39:070:39:09

The slow set is the opportunity to touch a tit,

0:39:090:39:15

so all of a sudden you've just been having a fish with some Insomnia,

0:39:150:39:19

or something like that, and then boom!

0:39:190:39:21

# I don't want to close my eyes

0:39:210:39:23

# I don't want to fall asleep because I miss you baby

0:39:230:39:28

# And I don't want to miss a thing... #

0:39:280:39:31

MUMBLES: # Even when I dream of you...

0:39:310:39:36

# I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing... #

0:39:360:39:41

Oh, no, no, no! Fair enough.

0:39:410:39:44

"She didn't go for it, she must be frigid".

0:39:440:39:47

And then as we know, the bouncer comes around and he says,

0:39:470:39:50

"Here, lads, leave space for Jesus. Leave space for Jesus,"

0:39:500:39:54

but as we know, it's grand because after Lent,

0:39:540:39:56

Jesus was quite a thin man

0:39:560:39:58

so you don't have to leave too much space, you know?

0:39:580:40:01

And then we don't want the babies made here on the dance floor tonight,

0:40:010:40:05

so it is time to wrap up the evening. How do you wrap up a disco?

0:40:050:40:09

With the Irish national anthem! Yeah!

0:40:090:40:13

You take your hand out of whoever's pants it has been down,

0:40:130:40:16

you put it on your heart and you sing.

0:40:160:40:20

SINGS IRISH NATIONAL ANTHEM

0:40:200:40:21

"How are you getting home?" "I don't know yet."

0:40:210:40:24

That's actually not from Lord Of The Rings,

0:40:240:40:26

it is a real language recognised by the EU, so who is a xenophobe now?!

0:40:260:40:30

Then you take your raffle ticket out of your bra

0:40:300:40:33

and you go to the cloakroom to get your jacket.

0:40:330:40:35

Women go and get their jackets, men don't

0:40:350:40:38

because they are naturally protected from the weather by Fred Perry.

0:40:380:40:43

So then we all go and we get our bag of chips

0:40:430:40:47

and we go into the car park to watch the fight! Yeah!

0:40:470:40:53

Honestly, lads, living in London, people are like,

0:40:530:40:56

"Aisling, don't go watch the fight, don't go get involved,

0:40:560:40:58

"don't get involved, he might have a knife. He might have a knife."

0:40:580:41:02

If I don't get involved in the fight,

0:41:020:41:04

how am I going to know what it's about?

0:41:040:41:07

So you go down the watch the fight and you are like,

0:41:070:41:09

"God, I don't want any drama tonight. I just do not want any drama.

0:41:090:41:12

"I do not want any drama, do not want any drama with this fight.

0:41:120:41:15

"Oh, my God, I think it might be about me.

0:41:150:41:17

"Here, Denise, hold my earrings, I am going in.

0:41:170:41:19

"Sean Jr, Sean senior, you are both brothers, stop fighting,

0:41:190:41:23

"you both fingered me equally well!

0:41:230:41:25

"Just stop fighting about it is all!" And then everyone drunk drives home.

0:41:270:41:34

So I... I am going to leave you on this.

0:41:340:41:38

As you know, we are coming into the summer and I am not a particularly

0:41:380:41:40

tanned person, but here is a tip, should you wish to appear exotic.

0:41:400:41:45

Walk around with a giant Toblerone underneath your arm.

0:41:450:41:49

"Oh, someone's been away."

0:41:490:41:51

Lads, you have been lovely! I have been blah-blah-blah!

0:41:510:41:54

Have a lovely evening. Bye-bye.

0:41:540:41:56

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:560:41:58

Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for the wonderful Aisling Bea!

0:41:580:42:02

Thank you very much for watching Good News. Good night, my friends.

0:42:040:42:08

Good night.
