0:01:34 > 0:01:39So it's time for our first award.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42As a superlative actor, I can do lots of regional accents.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- HE ADOPTS ACCENT - Arite, there, mate? How ya doin'?

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Liverpool.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48I know where it is but I can't really get at it at the moment.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Birmingham.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52- HE ADOPTS INDIAN ACCENT - Very, very pleased to be meeting you.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Welsh.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57But which accent is the one we most struggle to understand?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Nominations, please, for the Lucas

0:01:59 > 0:02:01for Least Comprehensible UK Accent.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Ardal.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Northern Irish.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Robert.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Lincolnshire.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07And, Adil.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Sir Alex Ferguson.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14OK, so, Ardal, why have you gone for,

0:02:14 > 0:02:16as your Least Comprehensible Accent, Northern Ireland.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'm very familiar with these people.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23They're quite near me, and they speak very fast,

0:02:23 > 0:02:26with a very aggressive edge to it.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28And, sort of, they don't want people to understand them.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29I think they do it on purpose.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's, "RARARARRAR... bring those sheep in here!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34"Where's the sheep?! Bring them in here right now!

0:02:34 > 0:02:36"ARARARARAR!"

0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'd go as far as to say they don't even understand

0:02:39 > 0:02:40what they're saying themselves.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Well, we have a clip here of a man even the Northern Irish

0:02:43 > 0:02:46would probably have struggled to understand.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49HE SPEAKS IN THICK ACCENT The Strabane people doesn't get no fair play.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51The people of Strabane get no jobs now.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53They can come from far and near and get work.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55And the people are having to cross the water,

0:02:55 > 0:02:56having to go away 20 years.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59And during the war, I went away to fight with a bottle of holy water.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03And they weren't many men to go across the water that time.

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

0:03:08 > 0:03:11That was actually a young Eamonn Holmes.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, I think I can do sort of four Irish, sort of...

0:03:14 > 0:03:18there's Northern Irish, there's... HOY-DOY-DOY-DUR-DUR-DUR-DOY!

0:03:18 > 0:03:20DUR-DUR-DOYR! There's that.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22And then there's also...

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Eee-barr-darr-dur-na-doin!

0:03:25 > 0:03:29And then...but also, if you go in the South,

0:03:29 > 0:03:31there's sort of...

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Eur-dor-doily-do-doily!

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Like, leprechaun.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38And then also, there's the Boyzone which is...

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Doy, er...with de Boyzone, with the Shane and the Keith.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Like that, those are the four that I know.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46But the I can do those two northern ones, yes.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Very well, I think.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Even the animals in Northern Ireland...

0:03:51 > 0:03:55like, seriously, a cow in Northern Ireland is, "MRRRRR!"

0:03:55 > 0:03:57What does he want, that cow?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I used to go out with a girl from Northern Ireland.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01It was the same thing. I was terrified all the time.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Because you don't know what she's saying or what she wants.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Even when she's saying, "I love you,"

0:04:06 > 0:04:08it sounds like a threat, you know. It's like...

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- HE ADOPTS ACCENT - "I love you!

0:04:10 > 0:04:13"I love you, so I do. Do you hear me?! I love you!"

0:04:13 > 0:04:16So, Robert, why have you nominated the Lincolnshire accent?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, I'm from Lincolnshire, I grew up in Lincolnshire,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21and it's not that it's an incomprehensible accent,

0:04:21 > 0:04:23it's that I was incomprehensible

0:04:23 > 0:04:26because, not only did I have quite a broad native accent,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29but also I had a massive speech impediment until was about 16,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32so I'd say the sound, "s," "sur",

0:04:32 > 0:04:34and "t," "tur."

0:04:34 > 0:04:36So I'd say, "Are you being thuperthilious?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39"Are you being tharcastic? Because I think that's, you know...

0:04:39 > 0:04:41"By the way, would you like to have thex now?"

0:04:41 > 0:04:44So it's not Lincolnshire's incomprehensible

0:04:44 > 0:04:46it's that I was totally incomprehensible.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Well, I put it to you

0:04:47 > 0:04:49that there are some other people in Lincolnshire

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- who are quite incomprehensible. - Right.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Let's have a look at one of your fellow yellow bellies here.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57HE SPEAKS INCOMPREHENSIBLY

0:05:11 > 0:05:13LAUGHTER

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Did you understand that?- No!

0:05:15 > 0:05:17No, but the sort of music is very familiar.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- HE ADOPTS LINCOLNSHIRE ACCENT - It's not so much an accent,

0:05:20 > 0:05:21as an attitude, Matthew.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Our Robert, he went to uni, and he made some friends,

0:05:25 > 0:05:27many of whom were homosexuals,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30and he's come back and he sounds like them. And, why not?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Adil, you've nominated Alex Ferguson.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Yes.- Now, I don't want it to go unnoticed, by the way,

0:05:38 > 0:05:40that I refuse to call Alex Ferguson SIR Alex Ferguson,

0:05:40 > 0:05:42because I'm an Arsenal fan,

0:05:42 > 0:05:44so I don't really recognise his knighthood.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47And, Adil, perhaps you'd like to join me in this flagrant disregard?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49I think I probably will, actually.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50I'm a Villa fan, so I'll join you on that.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Excellent. We have a deal.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54The fact is, they don't even allow people in this country

0:05:54 > 0:05:56if you can't speak English properly anymore,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59so the fact that they've given Sir Alex Ferguson a knighthood

0:05:59 > 0:06:01and you can't understand him, That's a good point.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- He shouldn't have that, should he? - He shouldn't have it.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Let's see a bit of the incomprehensible old sod in action.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Now I've got Andy, I've got Teddy,

0:06:10 > 0:06:11I've got Scolesey wanting to play,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I've got Giggs, I've got Jordi Cruyff.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm very, very pleased at that situation we're in.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17What did he say at the end there?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19He said, "Radda-daa-daa-doin."

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I don't think it's that important

0:06:21 > 0:06:24that Alex Ferguson is comprehensible.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Do you know what I mean?

0:06:25 > 0:06:30His face changes from orange to red to purple, that's a sign of...

0:06:30 > 0:06:31- A colour code.- Exactly.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's like a threat level.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36So when it's purple, they know they have to get their finger out.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I think it's not so much the Scottish, it's that he's lazy.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40He won't open his mouth when he's talking.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41HE MUMBLES He talks like this

0:06:41 > 0:06:44and then you add in his Scottish accent

0:06:44 > 0:06:45and then there's absolutely no chance

0:06:45 > 0:06:48of understanding what I'm talking about.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's his problem, he's lazy.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Can you do an impression of him?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Well, I think anybody can do an impression of him.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hang on a minute, I've got the nose here.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Her-der-der-der...whiskey!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Her-der-der-der...referee!

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Wonderful, wonderful!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07APPLAUSE

0:07:07 > 0:07:09What would you say to Fergie if he was here now?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I think I'd give him a taste of his own medicine.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'd probably speak in Punjabi so he couldn't understand me.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- That would work, wouldn't it? - Can you do a Scottish Punjabi?

0:07:17 > 0:07:22HE MUMBLES IN SCOTTISH PUNJABI ACCENT

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- APPLAUSE - Basically the same.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29OK, it's time to find out what has won the Lucas

0:07:29 > 0:07:31for Least Comprehensible UK Accent.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Is it Northern Irish, Lincolnshire, or Alex Ferguson?

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Judges, what is your verdict and why?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, for the reason we couldn't understand a word,

0:07:41 > 0:07:43to be sure, it's Northern Irish.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46There we go, the winner of the Lucas

0:07:46 > 0:07:49for Least Comprehensible UK Accent is Northern Irish.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51APPLAUSE

0:07:53 > 0:07:56And, by the way, you know when you win a bronze medal,

0:07:56 > 0:07:58do you go up and collect it,

0:07:58 > 0:08:00or do they just send it to you in the post?

0:08:00 > 0:08:03LAUGHTER

0:08:03 > 0:08:05That is mean!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Just to let you know, one of them's a boxer.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yes. Yes, she's very nice, yes.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:13 > 0:08:15So, onto our next award.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18We all have days in the calendar we look forward to, don't we?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Christmas Day, Boxing Day,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22or, if you're BNP, St George's Day.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Should be a day off work, shouldn't it?

0:08:24 > 0:08:28But which of the 365 days of the year is the one we most dread?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Nominations, please, for the Lucas

0:08:30 > 0:08:32for Most Miserable Day of the Year.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Ardal?

0:08:33 > 0:08:34My wife's birthday.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Robert?- Any Sunday.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- And, Adil?- Valentine's Day.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46So, Ardal, why do you dread your wife's birthday?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, I should stress, I've nothing against her

0:08:49 > 0:08:50in any way whatsoever.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52The timing.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54It comes at a terrible time for me.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's very shortly after Christmas,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59and very shortly after our wedding anniversary.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01And then it comes into the middle of January,

0:09:01 > 0:09:05which also happens to be genuinely my lowest point of the year,

0:09:05 > 0:09:06so it's a really terrible time.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09So I feel the pressure is intolerable.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14Not only do I have to, like, excel once again on the present front,

0:09:14 > 0:09:15you know, my pipes are frozen...

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Is that a euphemism, sorry?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20It is, as well as being real.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24So, you know, things couldn't be worse

0:09:24 > 0:09:25at this point of the year for me.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28What's the most lacklustre present you've bought her?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Oh, er, a trivet, probably.- A what?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32- A trivet.- Is it a kind of dog?

0:09:32 > 0:09:37No, it's, er, it's something like if you have a stew, um, and...

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Sounds really fun in your house, Ardal!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Adil, are birthdays big in your family?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's slightly confusing in my family, as my dad's got two.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49When they came over here in the '60s, a lot of British Asians...

0:09:49 > 0:09:51birthdays weren't registered in Pakistan or India,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53they just knew their year.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55So when they came in and had to fill in the immigration slip

0:09:55 > 0:09:57at Heathrow Airport, they just quickly did it,

0:09:57 > 0:10:01cos they were worried about whether they were going to be allowed in or not,

0:10:01 > 0:10:03so they just made it up. And loads of people just put January.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06They just put the first of the first, so Dad put first of the first.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09And then later on in life, he then sort of came across

0:10:09 > 0:10:10some other document, and thought,

0:10:10 > 0:10:13"Oh, I've got it wrong, I think it's in October."

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- So when's your birthday?- April 26th.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18That IS it, or...oh, yes, cos you were born here.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yeah, yeah. It's not an Asian Muslim thing.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23No, I thought it was, yeah.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24We're not all the same.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26We don't do all the same things and stuff.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29What are you suggesting?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31No, I like racial tension!

0:10:31 > 0:10:33You're watching Racial Tension on BBC One

0:10:33 > 0:10:37hosted by me, Rachel Tension.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Robert, tell me why you don't like Sundays?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42It's because I never really got over

0:10:42 > 0:10:45how much I used to hate Sundays when I was as school.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Because Saturday was so good,

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Friday night and Saturday was so good,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51because I could dress up as Zorro

0:10:51 > 0:10:53and ride around on my bike pretending it's a horse,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I could play on my ZX Spectrum or even with some actual other friends.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58And then Sunday was all right in the morning

0:10:58 > 0:11:01and then after lunch, I was in that bungalow,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03and it smells of congealing gravy,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05and all the grown-ups have had a drink

0:11:05 > 0:11:08and they're sort of getting maudlin or shouting at each other.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11And it's Bullseye and it's time for school tomorrow.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- HE MIMICS BULLSEYE THEME TUNE - Just mocking me.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17But now, of course, you are an adult and you have children.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I mean, surely Sundays are a bit more cheery now?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yeah, and its fine, except...you know, we really love our children.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26They're great, but they're three and one,

0:11:26 > 0:11:28and I think parents of young children

0:11:28 > 0:11:30or parents of older children

0:11:30 > 0:11:33who remember having young children will remember,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35that they can be at that age,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37a colossal pain in the arse.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41And Saturday's fine but then by Sunday,

0:11:41 > 0:11:43my wife and I, we're kind of out of ideas.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45It's just very difficult to think of things to do with them.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Usually with children,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49you're running them around to different places.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Picking them up from a birthday party,

0:11:50 > 0:11:52taking them to another birthday party.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, God! Other people's birthday parties

0:11:54 > 0:11:57full of other people's children that you have to be nice to.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Yes.- I mean, it's fine. You know, I like children,

0:12:01 > 0:12:03but I prefer mine to other people's.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05And because you've got to be on your best behaviour

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- and you can't swear, you can't... - I prefer other people's children.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11..really clip them round the ear any more...sorry.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14If you if you're like me and you haven't got children...

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Well, then, of course you have to prefer other people's children!

0:12:17 > 0:12:20I don't plan to have any children, so, with Robert's children...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- You don't plan to have any children? - I've got no plans at the moment.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25You've made some very early choices, young man!

0:12:25 > 0:12:28You're not selling it very well, to be honest!

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I'm not here to sell it. I'm just here to complain about it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Sell your children! - I will not sell my children to you!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Racist! You won't sell your children to him.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Exactly! Exactly!

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE - Sell him your children!

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Sell him your children!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44I don't know if it's responsible or not, but sell them to him!

0:12:44 > 0:12:45£1.99.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Mum, did you dread Sundays when I was little?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53No, I didn't, actually,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56cos we used to do lots of things with friends and...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yeah, it was nice. Sundays were nice.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Yeah, but when you were a bit older,

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and you and Howard were off my hands,

0:13:02 > 0:13:04then I spent quite a lot of time on my own.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09Sunday can be a very lonely day, actually, as it happens.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- This is very cheery, this, isn't it? - LAUGHTER

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Sometimes my wife's birthday FALLS on a Sunday.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19And do you know what, it's not just Sunday.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23I'm with Robert entirely on this. It's Mondays and Tuesdays as well.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I mean, there's far too many days in the week. Wednesday...

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I just leave the house on a Sunday.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I go hiking in the mountains and I hide.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Adil, why do you find Valentine's Day so miserable?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Well, you know, Valentine's Day, it's supposed to be the occasion

0:13:37 > 0:13:39where you're supposed to do something very special.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40And what do we all do?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Everyone does exactly the same thing.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Chocolates, flowers, meal with a Groupon voucher.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47We all do it!

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Everyone does the same thing.- Yeah.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52What's worse, being forced to spend Valentine's Day

0:13:52 > 0:13:55with your partner or being alone and single?

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Definitely the last bit.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Although I am single, it's obviously the forced bit, yeah.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01So part of this dislike of Valentine's Day

0:14:01 > 0:14:05- comes from not having anyone to share it with?- No!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07No!

0:14:07 > 0:14:10A lot of denial going on there. How long have you been single?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Um, probably about five years now.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13What's your type?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I don't have a type. Does anyone have a type?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah. Um...

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Like, when they've got the little thing in between the legs.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well, I think your issue with Valentine's Day is that you

0:14:29 > 0:14:32aren't very experienced in matters of romance.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Luckily, help is at hand, as we have in the audience

0:14:35 > 0:14:37an expert in relationships.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42Maybe she can help Adil out. Please welcome Suzi Godson.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45APPLAUSE

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Suzi, welcome to the show, you've heard what Adil has to say,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51where, in your opinion, has he gone wrong?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I don't really think he's wrong about Valentine's Day.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I think that if you're single you can't participate,

0:14:58 > 0:15:02and if you're in a couple you're forced to participate.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Oh, you old romantic, you(!)

0:15:03 > 0:15:06In terms of what he should do to get a girlfriend,

0:15:06 > 0:15:08he's a gorgeous guy, he could have anyone.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Yeah, but what are you doing later, then?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm around.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'll be off then. LAUGHTER

0:15:16 > 0:15:18As an expert in relationships,

0:15:18 > 0:15:20what's your view of Roberts's nomination?

0:15:20 > 0:15:24I think that Robert's is a classic, kind of, case of,

0:15:24 > 0:15:29you know, a relationship having gone through the process of expansion

0:15:29 > 0:15:32where you meet, you fall in love, you have kids, that's very exciting,

0:15:32 > 0:15:35you're massively into your kids, and then suddenly you hit a wall

0:15:35 > 0:15:40and it's a routine of fish fingers and, you know, birthday parties.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45I've hit a wall? I have hit no such thing, madam.

0:15:45 > 0:15:51And that's the point at which infidelity or divorce becomes...

0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm not...infidelitising.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58But what you have to do is you have to reintroduce novelty into your relationship.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03- What with a special hat? - Leather goods.- Leather hat?

0:16:03 > 0:16:07In terms of doing what Ardal does, going climbing,

0:16:07 > 0:16:09going... Getting out, doing stuff together.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Oh, for crying out loud.- It's true.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Climbing? I'm up at 6:00 every morning, I'm not climbing.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Make a stew.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Thank you very much for joining us, Suzi Godson.

0:16:22 > 0:16:27APPLAUSE

0:16:27 > 0:16:30So, what is going to win the Lucas for Most Miserable Day Of The Year?

0:16:30 > 0:16:35Will it be Ardal's wife's birthday, any given Sunday, or Valentine's Day?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Judges - what is your verdict and why?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40THEY WHISPER

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Because no girls I've met think a bag of chips from the chippy's

0:16:43 > 0:16:45romantic anymore, we're going for Valentine's Day.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50OK. The winner of the Lucas for Most Miserable Day Of The Year is Valentine's Day.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58I suppose... I suppose... Cos it...

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Cos, like, if you'd won silver you'd always be thinking,

0:17:01 > 0:17:06"Oh, could have got the gold," so, in a way, probably works out for the best.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:17:09 > 0:17:13Time for our final Lucas of the night, it's our Hidden Talent Award.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18Each week we find out which special skills our guests normally keep close to their chests.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Your nominations please. Adil?

0:17:21 > 0:17:26I can identify a car from the '80s just by the sound of its engine.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Robert?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31I can throw a mini basketball over my shoulder and get it in a hoop.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32And Ardal?

0:17:32 > 0:17:38I can sing the Squeeze song, Up The Junction, in a Donald Duck voice.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42OK, so Adil, tell me more about your hidden talent?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yeah, it's a bit strange. You know, um... You know when you were young

0:17:45 > 0:17:47and you were little and you had friends?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Well, I don't think I had any, really, and as I used to walk

0:17:50 > 0:17:53home from the bus, I used to play this game that as cars were

0:17:53 > 0:17:56coming up the road behind me, I'd try and guess what car it was.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Do they really sound that different? - Yeah, they do. There's a big

0:17:59 > 0:18:02difference between certain car sounds, yeah. I think.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- You hope.- I hope. Yeah.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Well, it's time to put Adil's automobile auditory ability to the test.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13If you'd like to make your way over there, please, with me to the car over there.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- GRUFF VOICE:- Sit yourself down there.

0:18:20 > 0:18:26So, I am going to play Adil a succession of engine sounds for him to try to identify.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29If you think you know them, just honk your horn. Go on give us a honk.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- HORN HONKS Oh yeah, OK.- OK, you ready?

0:18:32 > 0:18:38- Yeah.- Cool, all right. Ignition on. OK. Here is your first car sound.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43ENGINE SOUND, GRADUALLY ACCELERATING

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- HORN HONKS - He knows it, he thinks he knows it, what is it?

0:18:51 > 0:18:55Only because I think my brother used to drive one, is it a BMW?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57- What type?- A 3 series.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00It is the BMW... Let's see...

0:19:00 > 0:19:04320i. Yes, correct. How about that!

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Wow. wow.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10This isn't cool to know this, is it, really?

0:19:10 > 0:19:14No, but then it's not cool to be on this show either, so.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK, let's pass another car and see if you can identify it.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19ENGINE SOUND, GRADUALLY ACCELERATING

0:19:25 > 0:19:27HORN HONKS

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Oh!- That's an easy one.- What is it? - That's a Mini.- Let's have a look.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- It's a Mini! Wow.- Absolutely.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38You wonder why you had no friends. OK.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Let's pass another car and see if you can work out what it is.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45ENGINE STARTING AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING

0:19:48 > 0:19:54HORN HONKS That's Inspector Clouseau's car, a Citroen 2CV.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Let's have a look.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's a 2CV! Wow.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05He doesn't have friends, but he has knowledge.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08OK, what car might we be passing now?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11ENGINE SOUND, GRADUALLY ACCELERATING

0:20:17 > 0:20:19HORN HONKS

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Only because... This sounds really weird - I can hear a double exhaust,

0:20:23 > 0:20:25so it's a performance car.

0:20:25 > 0:20:30It could be any of them. I think... Is it a Porsche?

0:20:30 > 0:20:35- What type?- I don't know. A 9 series. A 924, a 930, 928, one of those.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Let's have a look.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39It is a Porsche 924! how about that!

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- The man is a freak. OK. - LAUGHTER

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Let's have a listen to one final car. Here we go.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54ENGINE STARTING AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING

0:21:01 > 0:21:04HORN HONKS Only cos it's got that big diesel-y engine,

0:21:04 > 0:21:08that's again... It is it a Beetle?

0:21:08 > 0:21:12It is a Volkswagen Beetle, but which one is it? It's a famous one.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Oh, it's Herbie obviously. - Let's have a look.

0:21:14 > 0:21:19Yes, in Monte Carlo, it's Herbie! Ladies and gentlemen, Adil Ray.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21APPLAUSE

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Let's make our way back to the sofa.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Incredible stuff.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31That was exceptional. Well done, Adil, well done. OK, Robert.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, you claim to be able to throw a mini basketball

0:21:34 > 0:21:39over your shoulder and get it into a hoop. May I ask how and why?

0:21:39 > 0:21:43I was in a film called Magicians, and I was playing a magician called Karl,

0:21:43 > 0:21:47and during the film he had to throw a basketball over his shoulder to get it in a hoop,

0:21:47 > 0:21:50and I wanted to do it properly and I spent a day rehearsing it,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53and when we filmed it I did it on the third go.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56However, that was six years ago, and I haven't done it since.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, it's time to see Robert's skills in action.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02If you'd like to make your way, please, Robert, with me,

0:22:02 > 0:22:05over there to the basketball court, over there.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- If you would like to...- Yes. - There we go.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13So, let's put you in your position, there. Excellent.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16I love basketball, myself. My favourite player is, um...

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Oh, I can't remember his name,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21very tall black fella.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- So, Robert you have, let's say, five attempts...- OK.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26..to get this ball into that hoop.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27- OK.- Off you go.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31BUZZER

0:22:31 > 0:22:33AUDIENCE GROANS

0:22:33 > 0:22:35OK, I think we're going to need... That was... No.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Mum, why don't you come over here, and return the balls to us,

0:22:38 > 0:22:42cos I've got a sense that we might need somebody for that job.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's all coming back.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47BUZZER

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yeah. Not so great.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52We're OK, aren't we?

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I like the bit where the tension starts to turn into irritation.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58And the audience start to think about the train home.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00LAUGHTER

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- BUZZER - Ooh! Close. Well done, Mum.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07She knows what she's doing, she's good.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- BUZZER - Ooh! The light's gone, the light. Leave it, leave it woman!

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Leave it, it's dangerous!

0:23:15 > 0:23:17OK, have another go. No.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- BUZZER - Nearly hit my mother, there.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- BUZZER - No. Oh, close.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29- BUZZER - Oh, close. Robert, they're leaving they're leaving.

0:23:29 > 0:23:30I can sense them.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Yeah! - BELL RINGS

0:23:33 > 0:23:37He's done it! Take a bow. Congratulations, sir.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41Make your way back to the sofa. Thank you. Well done.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49You know, it was fine, but how many goes did you have to make?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51That was the fifth go wasn't it? The second go, third, I lost count.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- No, it was about nine goes. - I lost count in all the excitement.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Look at me. You've let me down. - Right.

0:23:57 > 0:23:58OK, you've not just let me down,

0:23:58 > 0:24:01you've let my mum down. You've made her look stupid.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04These people let the country down, and you've let me down.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Do you understand?

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Bronze for you, sir. A bronze for you. OK.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15OK, Ardal, now your special talent is singing

0:24:15 > 0:24:19Up The Junction by Squeeze in a Donald Duck voice. Tell us about that.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yes, well, Up The Junction, it's the only song that I know.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27- OK.- And Donald... - You don't know any other song?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I genuinely don't know any other song.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32I learnt if off by heart when I was about 14, 15. There was a song,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36it made a big impression on me, and all my friends could sing,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38I could never sing, and I just decided I'd better learn a song

0:24:38 > 0:24:41because there are often occasions when you need to sing something.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45And I could also do a duck impression.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47So I thought, very stupidly, to combine the two.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Do you have any other talents you considered doing?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52I used to do keepies-uppies a lot when I was a kid,

0:24:52 > 0:24:56but I haven't done that for years, either. But it's too mundane, everyone can do that.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00OK, well it's time for Ardal to sing for his supper.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04If you'd like to go over there, please, Ardal, to the bit over there.

0:25:06 > 0:25:13Singing Up The Junction by Squeeze, please welcome ARDUCK O'Hanlon.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17MUSIC: "Up The Junction" by Squeeze

0:25:18 > 0:25:21DONALD DUCK IMPRESSION IN TIME TO SONG

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Do this at the same time. Go on.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52DONALD DUCK IMPRESSION CONTINUES

0:25:53 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Ho ho! Chuck it back. Yeah.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11Ho ho! Ardal O'Hanlon, ladies and gentlemen!

0:26:11 > 0:26:16- APPLAUSE - Welcome back to the sofa.

0:26:16 > 0:26:21This is ridiculous. I have children, they may have children someday.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Yes, and they won't respect you, will they?- No.

0:26:24 > 0:26:29No, well we've seen all the nominations for our Hidden Talent Award.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32'80s engine identification, over-the-shoulder basketball throwing,

0:26:32 > 0:26:36and singing Up The Junction in a Donald Duck voice.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Judges, what is your verdict and why?

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Well, let's be honest, the others may have been better,

0:26:45 > 0:26:49but as bronze is the new gold, I'm going to go for Robert.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53So, the winner of the Hidden Talent Award is Robert Webb.

0:27:01 > 0:27:07- Even they're racist.- Yes. - Especially the guy in the middle.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08LAUGHTER

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Well, that's just about it for tonight.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13All I need to do is award this week's Lucas Of Lucases,

0:27:13 > 0:27:17that goes tonight to the grumpiest guest.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Mum, who do you think has been the most grumpy guest this evening?

0:27:20 > 0:27:25I don't know. First of all can I just say, it's a bit confusing having Adil and Ardal,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27cos I'm getting really confused as to who's who.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31That's racist, as well. LAUGHTER

0:27:31 > 0:27:33What? I didn't catch that?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35One is a man, and the other's a duck. So...

0:27:35 > 0:27:36LAUGHTER

0:27:36 > 0:27:41You've got me stuck for... Lost for words, just for once.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43But you're still talking.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Why don't you both share it? That would be rather nice.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Yes, that's a good idea. - There you go.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52Perhaps you'd both like to make some sort of speech?

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Do I need another award in my life?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57There's no room in the awards cabinet. You can have it.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01It's just as well you gave me the award, or you'd be a racist if you hadn't.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04We would. And, very proudly, I am.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Congratulations once again, and thanks to all my guests,
