Good evening. Welcome to Would I Lie To You?

0:00:230:00:25

the show with barefaced lies

0:00:250:00:27

and well-masked truths.

0:00:270:00:30

On Lee Mack's team tonight,

0:00:300:00:31

an American comedian, actor and star of The Simpsons.

0:00:310:00:35

One of the few people for whom

0:00:350:00:36

having voices in his head

0:00:360:00:38

is actually a good thing.

0:00:380:00:39

It's Harry Shearer.

0:00:390:00:41

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:410:00:43

And she presents The Great Pottery Throw Down,

0:00:430:00:47

which I think is just smashing.

0:00:470:00:48

It's Sara Cox.

0:00:480:00:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:500:00:55

And on David Mitchell's team tonight,

0:00:550:00:57

a comedian who used to be a glass collector in a comedy club.

0:00:570:01:00

It was a tough job but he picked it up as he went along.

0:01:000:01:02

It's Jason Manford.

0:01:020:01:04

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:040:01:06

And the BBC's former chief political editor.

0:01:060:01:10

In one year, he asked politicians a record number of questions - 5,000 -

0:01:100:01:15

and got a record number of answers - seven.

0:01:150:01:17

It's Nick Robinson.

0:01:170:01:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:190:01:24

So, to round one, Home Truths,

0:01:240:01:25

where our panellists each read out a statement

0:01:250:01:27

from the card in front of them.

0:01:270:01:29

To make things harder, they've never seen the card before,

0:01:290:01:31

so they've no idea what they'll be faced with.

0:01:310:01:34

It's up to the opposing team to sort the fact from the fiction -

0:01:340:01:37

and Jason is first up tonight.

0:01:370:01:39

OK.

0:01:390:01:40

"I once wet myself whilst baby-sitting a toddler."

0:01:410:01:45

LAUGHTER

0:01:450:01:46

Lee's team.

0:01:460:01:48

When was this?

0:01:480:01:49

I reckon I was about...

0:01:490:01:50

..12 or 13.

0:01:520:01:53

It's quite young to be baby-sitting.

0:01:530:01:55

It's not in the North. LAUGHTER

0:01:550:01:57

Most of us are parents by that age. I was going to say.

0:01:570:01:59

LAUGHTER

0:01:590:02:00

So, whose baby was this, then?

0:02:000:02:02

Was it a neighbour's or...? It was...

0:02:020:02:04

No, no, it was, like, a niece...

0:02:040:02:06

LIKE a niece? No, no... LAUGHTER

0:02:070:02:09

Was it a nephew?

0:02:090:02:11

LAUGHTER

0:02:110:02:12

No, it was a niece.

0:02:120:02:13

No, a cousin. Well, it's hard to...

0:02:130:02:15

It's a niece.

0:02:160:02:17

Why didn't you go to the toilet? Because...

0:02:170:02:20

I, like, heard... I heard a voice upstairs.

0:02:200:02:23

"LIKE" a voice? Like a voice, yeah.

0:02:230:02:26

Like a niece's voice? LAUGHTER

0:02:260:02:28

It was like the voice of a man,

0:02:280:02:30

like, of someone who shouldn't have been up there, like...

0:02:300:02:32

Oh. Like a voice that I didn't know... Yeah.

0:02:320:02:34

..and I just got scared. I thought it was a ghost.

0:02:340:02:36

So, you heard this voice and you went to investigate?

0:02:360:02:38

It was on the baby monitor.

0:02:380:02:40

So... What did the voice say?

0:02:400:02:42

It said... "Wet yourself."

0:02:420:02:44

LAUGHTER

0:02:440:02:46

HARRY: Go ahead!

0:02:460:02:48

It wasn't an instruction. It was just, like, a voice.

0:02:480:02:50

"I'm in the toilet, it's occupied."

0:02:500:02:52

LAUGHTER

0:02:520:02:54

So, what did the voice say? I can't remember the exact words, but...

0:02:540:02:56

Cos you always forget what a ghost says.

0:02:560:02:58

Did he speak in English? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was English.

0:02:580:03:01

What kind of accent?

0:03:010:03:02

Like a Northern accent.

0:03:020:03:04

He wasn't going, "Oooooooh!"

0:03:040:03:06

He wasn't doing like a typical ghostly noise,

0:03:060:03:07

he was just going...

0:03:070:03:09

"Ay up."

0:03:090:03:10

LAUGHTER

0:03:100:03:14

And then did you go upstairs?

0:03:160:03:18

I went up and...

0:03:180:03:19

there was nothing there.

0:03:190:03:21

And did you ever get to the bottom of what this voice was?

0:03:210:03:23

Yeah, I think what had happened was

0:03:230:03:24

the baby monitor had tuned into one of the neighbour's baby monitors.

0:03:240:03:28

Oh, yeah. I was just listening to, like, someone three doors down.

0:03:280:03:32

When you realised that you'd had an accident

0:03:320:03:34

because you were frightened... Yeah.

0:03:340:03:35

..did you then make any attempt to sort of get changed or...?

0:03:350:03:39

No, I still... Can I say, Sara,

0:03:390:03:40

it's a lovely line of inquiry

0:03:400:03:42

but can I just go a step further

0:03:420:03:44

and ask the extent of the spillage?

0:03:440:03:47

Because...

0:03:470:03:48

Well, no, no...

0:03:480:03:49

There's the full-on,

0:03:490:03:51

there's the deluge, then there's something

0:03:510:03:53

that some of the more middle-aged men on the panel might...

0:03:530:03:55

LAUGHTER

0:03:550:03:56

..might be aware of,

0:03:560:03:58

which is the sitting and, "Oh, not again."

0:03:580:04:00

LAUGHTER

0:04:000:04:01

Can I just say -

0:04:010:04:03

you're saying this out loud. LAUGHTER

0:04:030:04:05

Was it age-related seepage

0:04:050:04:08

or did the levee break?

0:04:080:04:09

Oh, stop saying "seepage."

0:04:090:04:11

Rob, are you hoping to become...?

0:04:110:04:12

Cos there are many products for gentlemen of that age

0:04:120:04:15

with that problem,

0:04:150:04:16

are you hoping to become the face of them?

0:04:160:04:17

LAUGHTER

0:04:170:04:19

"Only if you're wearing a Brydon will you have real peace of mind."

0:04:190:04:22

LAUGHTER

0:04:220:04:25

APPLAUSE

0:04:250:04:29

Rhymes with Dry-don.

0:04:290:04:31

"Stay Dry-don in a Brydon."

0:04:310:04:32

There you go. LAUGHTER

0:04:320:04:34

Dryd-on? Dried-on.

0:04:340:04:36

LAUGHTER

0:04:360:04:37

With a Brydon...

0:04:370:04:39

"With a Brydon, you'll be dried-on."

0:04:390:04:42

LAUGHTER

0:04:420:04:43

It has, it's dried on. It's dried on.

0:04:430:04:47

So, you go up, you get to the niece's bedroom,

0:04:470:04:50

you check on her. Yeah.

0:04:500:04:51

When does the penny drop?

0:04:510:04:53

I went up, grabbed the child, who was asleep in her cot...

0:04:530:04:55

Yeah. ..I went out the front door and my...

0:04:550:04:58

You actually ran out the house?

0:04:580:04:59

Yeah. Yeah, I did. Screaming what?

0:04:590:05:01

I didn't scream, Lee, I just...

0:05:010:05:02

Well, you've wet yourself. Well... LAUGHTER

0:05:020:05:04

Don't try and keep dignity with this story.

0:05:040:05:07

"I didn't scream, I just wet my pants."

0:05:070:05:09

So, my auntie and uncle just live round the corner,

0:05:090:05:11

so I just went round there. And what did you say to them?

0:05:110:05:14

"There's a ghost in the house, so I've got the baby."

0:05:140:05:16

LAUGHTER And what did they say?

0:05:160:05:17

"Have you wet your pants?"

0:05:170:05:19

LAUGHTER

0:05:190:05:21

So, what's your team thinking?

0:05:210:05:22

Harry, does this strike you as the truth?

0:05:220:05:24

I'm still back at, "Like a niece, like a nephew".

0:05:240:05:28

Yeah, it was unsettling, wasn't it?

0:05:280:05:29

A bit. That got me off my feed right there.

0:05:290:05:32

So, Harry thinks it's a lie and Sara says it's...

0:05:320:05:35

I think, I kind of think it might be true.

0:05:350:05:37

Oh, split decisions, I hate them.

0:05:370:05:39

Who can persuade me the most?

0:05:390:05:41

I think if... I think Smithers could.

0:05:410:05:43

Can we make him do the voice, please?

0:05:430:05:45

That's early.

0:05:450:05:46

Round One. LAUGHTER

0:05:460:05:48

I thought, "At least have the dignity

0:05:480:05:50

"to wait till the second half."

0:05:500:05:51

"Is it truth or a lie?" "Never mind that, do Smithers."

0:05:510:05:54

LAUGHTER

0:05:540:05:55

I swear, all day...

0:05:550:05:57

Now, dance!

0:05:570:05:59

APPLAUSE

0:05:590:06:01

OK, we'll go with Harry and say it's a lie.

0:06:010:06:03

Saying it's a lie. OK.

0:06:030:06:05

Jason, truth or lie?

0:06:050:06:07

It is...

0:06:070:06:09

Oh. APPLAUSE

0:06:090:06:14

It is true - Jason did wet himself while baby-sitting a toddler.

0:06:140:06:19

Sara, you're next. OK.

0:06:190:06:21

"I know how to properly wash a cow."

0:06:230:06:25

David's team.

0:06:270:06:28

How do you properly wash a cow?

0:06:280:06:30

With water... Mm-hmm.

0:06:320:06:34

..and soap... Oh.

0:06:340:06:36

..and determination.

0:06:360:06:37

Why do you have to wash a cow?

0:06:390:06:41

Oh, if they get dirty, and...

0:06:410:06:43

LAUGHTER

0:06:430:06:45

Yeah, you need to wash a cow if you're going to...

0:06:450:06:48

If you're going to show your cow, like, at a county show or something.

0:06:480:06:51

Oh, right.

0:06:510:06:52

What sort of soap would you use for a cow?

0:06:520:06:54

A typical soap or was it a special agricultural soap?

0:06:540:06:58

Um, you'd use Fairy liquid.

0:06:580:07:01

Just the one brand? Just Fairy?

0:07:010:07:03

I mean you could use a citrusy, lemony-fresh one.

0:07:030:07:06

LAUGHTER

0:07:060:07:08

I think that would make the milk taste lemony.

0:07:080:07:11

LAUGHTER

0:07:110:07:12

But the steak would be lovely.

0:07:120:07:13

LAUGHTER

0:07:130:07:15

Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

0:07:150:07:16

LEE: Because everyone likes a bit of lemon on their steak, don't they?

0:07:180:07:21

LAUGHTER I'd eat that.

0:07:210:07:22

Well, yes, Lee. Do they?

0:07:220:07:24

They often marinate a sn...

0:07:240:07:26

A snake. LAUGHTER

0:07:260:07:29

You certainly made me look an idiot there, Rob. I'll give you that.

0:07:290:07:32

LAUGHTER

0:07:320:07:33

I won't be messing with you again.

0:07:330:07:35

Yeah. Yes, Lee, because...

0:07:350:07:36

You said, "Snake," you can't do it again!

0:07:360:07:38

LAUGHTER

0:07:380:07:40

Every time you say it, I'll shout, "Snake!"

0:07:400:07:42

So, why did you have to wash a cow?

0:07:420:07:43

You marinate a steak... Snake!

0:07:430:07:45

LAUGHTER

0:07:450:07:47

Save it for tonight when you're in bed with your wife.

0:07:470:07:49

"I'm just marinating the snake."

0:07:490:07:51

LAUGHTER

0:07:510:07:56

APPLAUSE

0:07:560:08:00

Why did you have to wash a cow?

0:08:000:08:02

Yeah, I washed a cow because my dad's a farmer

0:08:020:08:05

and so we would wash the cows and take them to the shows,

0:08:050:08:09

the county shows. Arable?

0:08:090:08:11

No, he's a nice man.

0:08:110:08:12

LAUGHTER

0:08:120:08:15

What do you mean, "Arable?"

0:08:150:08:17

They're cows!

0:08:170:08:18

How can they be arable? LAUGHTER

0:08:180:08:20

What does arable mean?

0:08:200:08:21

LAUGHTER

0:08:210:08:24

Arable is crops.

0:08:240:08:26

Yeah, well. Like wheat.

0:08:260:08:27

Well, have you never heard...? Not animals. Duh.

0:08:270:08:30

Have you never heard of a farmer

0:08:300:08:31

who has a little bit of arable

0:08:310:08:33

and a little bit of pastoral?

0:08:330:08:34

That would be mixed farming, not arable farming.

0:08:340:08:36

Which was going to be my THIRD option.

0:08:360:08:38

LAUGHTER

0:08:380:08:40

What breed of cows were they?

0:08:400:08:41

They are, they are the brown and white ones.

0:08:410:08:44

Don't get too technical.

0:08:440:08:46

They're called Herefords.

0:08:460:08:48

ALL: Oh.

0:08:480:08:50

What were their names, your cows?

0:08:500:08:52

Well, there was a long line of Dianas.

0:08:520:08:54

Dianas? Yeah. "Diana, the cow." Diana, the cow.

0:08:540:08:56

What do you mean by "long line"?

0:08:560:08:58

Well, Diana would have a daughter

0:08:580:08:59

and then that'd be another Diana.

0:08:590:09:01

And then the initial Diana becomes...

0:09:010:09:03

Steak Diana?

0:09:030:09:05

LAUGHTER

0:09:050:09:06

Ooh. Oh, that's good. Wow. That was so good.

0:09:060:09:11

That is a classy pun.

0:09:110:09:13

So, David, time to take a guess.

0:09:130:09:15

What do you think? Nick? I'm suspicious.

0:09:150:09:17

You think it's a lie?

0:09:170:09:18

Well, a plausible lie.

0:09:180:09:20

Yeah, I think it's a lie.

0:09:200:09:21

If you both think it's a lie...

0:09:210:09:23

I'm afraid so. Yep. Yep. We're going to go, "Lie."

0:09:230:09:25

You're going to say, "Lie"? OK.

0:09:250:09:27

Sara, truth or lie?

0:09:270:09:29

It's...

0:09:290:09:30

APPLAUSE Yes!

0:09:300:09:33

Yes, it's true, Sara does know how to wash a cow.

0:09:350:09:39

Our next round is called "This Is My,"

0:09:390:09:41

where we bring on a mystery guest

0:09:410:09:43

who has a close connection to one of our panellists.

0:09:430:09:45

Now, this week, each of David's team will claim it's them

0:09:450:09:48

that has the genuine connection to the guest.

0:09:480:09:50

It's up to Lee's team to spot who's telling the truth.

0:09:500:09:53

So, please welcome this week's special guest, Claire.

0:09:530:09:56

APPLAUSE

0:09:560:10:00

So, Nick...

0:10:040:10:06

what is Claire to you?

0:10:060:10:08

Well, this is Claire.

0:10:080:10:09

I was once so peckish

0:10:090:10:11

that I broke into her cottage

0:10:110:10:14

to steal a tube of Pringles.

0:10:140:10:15

LAUGHTER

0:10:150:10:16

Jason, how do you know Claire?

0:10:160:10:18

This is Claire.

0:10:180:10:20

I once called her to drive my car

0:10:200:10:22

from the roof of a multistorey car park

0:10:220:10:25

because I was too scared to.

0:10:250:10:27

LAUGHTER Right.

0:10:270:10:29

David, what is your relationship with Claire?

0:10:290:10:31

This is Claire, and she is my dentist

0:10:310:10:33

whose earring I swallowed

0:10:330:10:35

mid-procedure.

0:10:350:10:37

LAUGHTER

0:10:370:10:39

Well, there we have it.

0:10:390:10:41

Is Claire Nick's burgled buddy,

0:10:410:10:43

Jason's multistorey mate,

0:10:430:10:45

or David's dozy dentist?

0:10:450:10:48

Lee's team, where do you start?

0:10:480:10:49

Jason, let's start with you.

0:10:490:10:51

How old were you? Um, I was...

0:10:510:10:53

like, 20. Have you just started driving at this point?

0:10:530:10:56

Yeah, I'd just passed, so...

0:10:560:10:57

So you'd managed to get to the top... Yeah, yeah.

0:10:570:11:00

Why did you find going down worse than going up?

0:11:000:11:02

It was a different way down than it was coming up -

0:11:020:11:04

one of them really tight spirals, where you...

0:11:040:11:07

But it was a spiral going up, too, wasn't it?

0:11:070:11:09

No, it was up the ramp and then along the car park,

0:11:090:11:11

and then up the next ramp and then along the car park, so...

0:11:110:11:13

Did you know Claire before?

0:11:130:11:14

Who is she? What's the relationship? She's my friend's mum.

0:11:140:11:17

Friend's mum? Yeah, yeah. Auntie, niece?

0:11:170:11:19

LAUGHTER

0:11:190:11:20

Which friend? Steve.

0:11:200:11:22

Oh, so Steve... Is Steve your age?

0:11:220:11:24

Steve's my age, yeah. And that's...?

0:11:240:11:26

I mean, you look about the same age.

0:11:260:11:28

And that's the mum? LAUGHTER

0:11:280:11:30

She's, like, 55.

0:11:300:11:32

AUDIENCE: Ooh! Oh, I don't know.

0:11:320:11:34

I tell you what, Jason,

0:11:340:11:35

if it's not your person and you're not telling the truth...

0:11:350:11:37

No, I know her.

0:11:370:11:38

..this is going to be a hell of a green room conversation, isn't it?

0:11:380:11:41

LAUGHTER

0:11:410:11:42

She looks phenomenal for it, I'm just saying.

0:11:420:11:45

HARRY CHUCKLES

0:11:450:11:47

Keep going.

0:11:470:11:48

LAUGHTER

0:11:480:11:50

Why did you call Claire of all people?

0:11:500:11:53

Claire worked...

0:11:530:11:54

Oh, where I parked was at the Arndale Centre in Manchester,

0:11:540:11:57

and Claire works there. What does Claire do?

0:11:570:11:59

Where does she work? Oh, I think it's, like, the jewellers,

0:11:590:12:01

one of the jewellers in...

0:12:010:12:02

SARA: Hang on a minute, how did you ring her?

0:12:020:12:04

Just on my phone. On your mobile?

0:12:040:12:06

Yeah. What, 20 years ago?

0:12:060:12:07

It wasn't 20... Come on, hey.

0:12:070:12:09

Come on now. 18 years ago?

0:12:090:12:11

It was... See, not nice, is it?

0:12:110:12:13

JASON AND ROB: 14 years ago.

0:12:130:12:15

14 years ago.

0:12:150:12:16

Jason is 34.

0:12:160:12:17

You're 34? Yeah.

0:12:170:12:19

That's not even a lie.

0:12:190:12:20

True!

0:12:200:12:21

LAUGHTER

0:12:210:12:23

Wow, have you had a really hard life?

0:12:230:12:25

LAUGHTER

0:12:250:12:26

Yeah. And you had Claire's work number on your cellphone?

0:12:260:12:31

She had a mobile number as well.

0:12:310:12:32

I had, like, Steve's mum's number.

0:12:320:12:34

You had your mate's mum's number on your mobile?

0:12:340:12:37

Yes, I had my friend's mum's number.

0:12:370:12:39

What have you got it down as, Sweet-cheeks Claire or...?

0:12:390:12:42

LAUGHTER

0:12:420:12:43

"Steve's mum." OK, who would you like to question next?

0:12:430:12:47

OK, Nick.

0:12:470:12:48

So, you broke into this lady's house...

0:12:480:12:50

for Pringles, did you say?

0:12:500:12:52

You mean the crisp or the jumper?

0:12:520:12:55

LAUGHTER

0:12:550:12:56

So, where did all this happen, Nick?

0:12:560:12:58

Paint the picture for us, where are we?

0:12:580:13:00

We're on holiday. We're on holiday. Where?

0:13:000:13:02

LAUGHTER

0:13:030:13:05

People at home are now banging the TV.

0:13:050:13:07

Somebody hit pause. LAUGHTER

0:13:070:13:09

Where were you?

0:13:090:13:10

I was in Italy.

0:13:100:13:12

Italy! Italy.

0:13:120:13:14

Well, that's narrowed it down. Where in Italy were you?

0:13:140:13:16

I was in...

0:13:170:13:18

LAUGHTER

0:13:180:13:20

Pardon? Pause.

0:13:200:13:21

I'll give you a clue, it could be Rome.

0:13:210:13:24

Rome?

0:13:240:13:25

LAUGHTER

0:13:250:13:27

Milan? Venice? Florence? That's just...

0:13:270:13:28

Near Florence. Near Florence.

0:13:280:13:30

How do you and Claire know each other?

0:13:300:13:32

She was also on holiday.

0:13:320:13:33

But I want to know, did you know Claire before you went to Italy?

0:13:330:13:36

I did. So, you're near Florence, you've got...

0:13:360:13:38

What, you've hired some cottages close to each other?

0:13:380:13:41

Yeah, we're... Exactly. And what happens?

0:13:410:13:42

I'm in my cottage, raiding the larder...

0:13:420:13:45

Yes. ..looking for things to eat,

0:13:450:13:47

and I thought, "I know what I need."

0:13:470:13:49

Right. Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes. Eh, Rob?

0:13:490:13:51

LAUGHTER

0:13:510:13:53

They are ludicrously tasty.

0:13:530:13:54

LAUGHTER

0:13:540:13:59

So, how did you get into the cottage?

0:13:590:14:01

I sort of tried the... You know how you get blinds on a holiday cottage,

0:14:010:14:04

those sort of shutters, that's the word I'm after. Yeah.

0:14:040:14:06

So, I tried the shutters.

0:14:060:14:08

Spotting that one was open, I thought,

0:14:080:14:10

"I tell you what, I could probably...

0:14:100:14:12

"squeeze in." What time of day was this?

0:14:120:14:14

Just before lunch. So, you got in through the window...

0:14:140:14:17

Why didn't you wait for lunch, then? LAUGHTER

0:14:170:14:20

Nice work.

0:14:200:14:23

So the shutter is a little bit open,

0:14:230:14:25

but isn't, on the other side of a shutter, a glass window?

0:14:250:14:27

Yeah, but it wasn't locked. She's not security-conscious, this woman.

0:14:270:14:30

I'm surprised she's working on a jewellery counter, to be honest.

0:14:300:14:33

LAUGHTER

0:14:330:14:35

Or have I got these stories mixed up? There we go.

0:14:350:14:38

How did you get out of the cottage?

0:14:380:14:39

I opened the door... You opened the door.

0:14:390:14:41

..and I surreptitiously,

0:14:410:14:43

hiding the Pringles tube down my shorts, I...

0:14:430:14:45

Baguette? My wife said,

0:14:450:14:47

"Are those curiously shaped crisps or are you just pleased to see me?"

0:14:470:14:50

LAUGHTER What was it? Did you never...?

0:14:500:14:52

LAUGHTER

0:14:520:14:55

Why didn't you go to the shop?

0:14:550:14:56

Cos we were on a holiday, we weren't near a shop.

0:14:560:14:58

Why did you go on holiday at a place that's not near a shop?

0:14:580:15:01

JASON: That's not a prerequisite of a holiday, is it?

0:15:010:15:03

Are there shops, though? That's what I need to know.

0:15:030:15:05

Never mind the view.

0:15:050:15:07

What I'm hoping for is a Londis a two-minute walk away.

0:15:070:15:09

LAUGHTER

0:15:090:15:11

And then did you tell Claire what happened

0:15:110:15:13

or are you telling her this now on the telly

0:15:130:15:16

and she's finding it out for the very first time?

0:15:160:15:18

That would be a brilliant phone call.

0:15:180:15:20

"We'd like you to come along to see your old friend Nick."

0:15:200:15:22

"Why?" "There's something he wants to tell you."

0:15:220:15:24

LAUGHTER

0:15:240:15:26

When did she find out?

0:15:260:15:27

I think my children revealed the secret.

0:15:270:15:29

Wouldn't it have been easier to have one of them go through the window?

0:15:290:15:32

That is a very good point.

0:15:320:15:34

Why didn't you do that, Fagin?

0:15:340:15:36

LAUGHTER

0:15:360:15:40

All right now, what about David?

0:15:400:15:42

David, can you just remind us again how you know Claire?

0:15:420:15:44

This is Claire and she's my dentist...

0:15:440:15:46

Oh, yes.

0:15:460:15:48

..whose earring I accidentally swallowed mid-procedure.

0:15:480:15:51

OK. All right. What kind of earring was it?

0:15:510:15:53

It was just a stud.

0:15:530:15:55

What was the procedure?

0:15:550:15:57

It was a dental...

0:15:570:15:59

A dental procedure.

0:15:590:16:00

LAUGHTER

0:16:000:16:02

It was actually, it was a cleaning.

0:16:020:16:04

Not a polishing, a cleaning.

0:16:040:16:06

I won't clean my teeth myself.

0:16:060:16:07

LAUGHTER

0:16:070:16:09

So you pay her at a dentists' rate to do hygienist's work.

0:16:090:16:12

I want an expert.

0:16:120:16:14

LAUGHTER

0:16:140:16:15

I get a brain surgeon to clean behind my ears.

0:16:150:16:18

LAUGHTER

0:16:180:16:20

What made it suddenly just fall out?

0:16:200:16:22

Cos that just doesn't happen. Did you grab at her in terror?

0:16:220:16:25

No, I didn't, no...

0:16:250:16:26

"Help! I'm scared!"

0:16:260:16:28

LAUGHTER

0:16:280:16:32

You make me seem so sexy.

0:16:330:16:36

LAUGHTER

0:16:360:16:39

No, I think it was just simply gravity.

0:16:390:16:41

Something has to ruffle your ears...

0:16:410:16:43

Yes. You have to...

0:16:430:16:45

Oh, David, you didn't!

0:16:450:16:46

LAUGHTER

0:16:460:16:48

Goodness sake, man.

0:16:480:16:50

You can't blame it on the novocaine,

0:16:500:16:52

you knew what you were doing. LAUGHTER

0:16:520:16:55

So, you're laying back...

0:16:550:16:57

Yeah. ..in the dentist's chair, or the hygienist's, chair... Yes.

0:16:570:17:00

..and she's leaning over you to use the cleaning apparatus. Yeah.

0:17:000:17:05

It's hard to swallow even liquid

0:17:050:17:07

when the hygienist is working in your mouth.

0:17:070:17:11

Mm-hmm. How did you manage to swallow an earring?

0:17:110:17:14

Well, I didn't try to.

0:17:140:17:15

It just went...

0:17:150:17:17

And I felt just a slight...

0:17:170:17:19

So, you didn't...? I felt... You didn't swallow at the time?

0:17:190:17:22

I felt nothing more than a sort of...

0:17:220:17:23

No, I didn't go, "Ooh! Mmmm."

0:17:230:17:25

HE GULPS

0:17:250:17:26

So, you swallowed the earring -

0:17:260:17:28

do you get the earring back

0:17:280:17:30

and give it to Claire at your next appointment?

0:17:300:17:32

That's a good question.

0:17:320:17:34

Did it ever get back to Claire?

0:17:340:17:35

It did not.

0:17:350:17:37

Did it...? I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared to do that.

0:17:370:17:40

Were you sat on the toilet at any point

0:17:400:17:42

and there was a sort of definitive... Ping!

0:17:420:17:45

..a definite clink noise as metal hit porcelain?

0:17:450:17:46

No. I think it must've been deeply embedded in...

0:17:460:17:49

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:17:490:17:55

When you... Hang on. Give us a minute.

0:17:550:17:57

LAUGHTER

0:17:570:18:00

It must have come out, you know, mid-log. Yeah.

0:18:000:18:03

LAUGHTER

0:18:030:18:04

You could've at least used it

0:18:040:18:06

for a very unusual game of pass the parcel.

0:18:060:18:08

LAUGHTER

0:18:080:18:11

Is "unusual"...?

0:18:110:18:13

Is "unusual" the adjective you want to use?

0:18:130:18:16

It's probably not the right word.

0:18:160:18:18

"Unusual's" probably not a strong enough word.

0:18:180:18:20

"Sorry, kids, the clown's cancelled

0:18:200:18:23

"but in better news, David's brought his little thing..."

0:18:230:18:26

LAUGHTER

0:18:260:18:28

"Start the music."

0:18:280:18:30

LAUGHTER

0:18:300:18:32

"I don't even want the earring."

0:18:320:18:34

LAUGHTER

0:18:340:18:39

All right, well, we need an answer.

0:18:390:18:42

What do we think? Cos I...

0:18:420:18:44

They're all sounding unbelievable to me.

0:18:440:18:46

I tend to believe Jason.

0:18:460:18:48

Jason, you think he panicked getting out of the car park.

0:18:480:18:51

Yeah. Sara, what do we think? Well, I don't know.

0:18:510:18:53

I don't know if Nick was being vague on purpose

0:18:530:18:55

about where the cottage was.

0:18:550:18:57

When they come to him outside Number Ten,

0:18:570:18:59

have you ever noticed some, like, crumbs of crisps

0:18:590:19:01

just falling from his mouth at the last minute before he goes...?

0:19:010:19:03

And in the background, a slightly opened window. Yes.

0:19:030:19:06

LAUGHTER

0:19:060:19:08

What about David, though? I mean, you're not even...

0:19:080:19:10

Oh, we're actually entertaining that?

0:19:100:19:13

So, what are you going to say? I say, "Jason." You say, "Jason."

0:19:130:19:16

Oh, I'm drawn towards Nick's story being true,

0:19:160:19:18

but I'm not... I don't know, I'm happy to go with the boss man here.

0:19:180:19:21

I think we might have to go with Jason.

0:19:210:19:23

You're going to say it's Jason.

0:19:230:19:24

OK. Claire,

0:19:240:19:25

would you please reveal your true identity?

0:19:250:19:28

My name is Claire,

0:19:280:19:29

and Nick stole my Pringles.

0:19:290:19:31

APPLAUSE

0:19:310:19:35

Thank you very much, Claire.

0:19:350:19:39

I'm really sorry.

0:19:390:19:42

Which brings us to our final round,

0:19:420:19:44

Quick Fire Lies.

0:19:440:19:45

And we start with...

0:19:450:19:46

It's Lee.

0:19:490:19:51

"Possession."

0:19:510:19:53

Lee, if you step out from behind the desk,

0:19:530:19:55

read the card first.

0:19:550:19:57

"When I ran out of petrol with my kids in the car,

0:19:570:20:01

"the only way I could get to the nearest garage quickly was on this."

0:20:010:20:05

LAUGHTER

0:20:050:20:10

Yeah.

0:20:100:20:11

Pop that down there, sir. Brilliant.

0:20:110:20:14

APPLAUSE

0:20:140:20:16

So, where did you break down?

0:20:160:20:18

I broke down just after this round, crying.

0:20:180:20:21

LAUGHTER

0:20:210:20:23

It was a country lane. Whereabouts in the world?

0:20:230:20:26

It was just somewhere around Oxfordshire.

0:20:260:20:28

You're from Oxfordshire, aren't you? Yes. Let's change that. Uh...

0:20:280:20:31

LAUGHTER

0:20:310:20:32

I was somewhere just around Oxfordshire.

0:20:320:20:34

And this was in the car?

0:20:340:20:35

This was not in the car. This belonged to a farmer.

0:20:350:20:38

LAUGHTER

0:20:380:20:40

It belonged to a farmer?

0:20:400:20:41

The smallest, campest farmer you can imagine.

0:20:410:20:44

LAUGHTER

0:20:440:20:46

So I run out of petrol, we're in the middle of nowhere,

0:20:460:20:48

I pull over, near the hedgerow bit...

0:20:480:20:49

Yep. ..and then I remembered passing a petrol station back there.

0:20:490:20:52

How far? A mile, half a mile?

0:20:520:20:54

About a mile and a half. A mile and a half.

0:20:540:20:56

A mile and a half?

0:20:560:20:57

And you didn't just think, "I'll walk a mile and a half."

0:20:570:21:00

Well, it's not, it's three miles, isn't it?

0:21:000:21:01

Cos you've got to get back as well.

0:21:010:21:03

That's true. He's got you there, hasn't he? Yes.

0:21:030:21:05

LAUGHTER

0:21:050:21:07

But I have to say... What with you all Oxbridge and everything

0:21:070:21:10

and him having no education, that's quite embarrassing.

0:21:100:21:12

LAUGHTER Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:21:120:21:16

Hang on.

0:21:160:21:18

But still, three miles, that's not that far.

0:21:180:21:20

Three miles is a long way

0:21:200:21:21

when you've got children in the car, crying.

0:21:210:21:24

Well, hold on, then, if you did three miles on it,

0:21:240:21:26

you can definitely do four yards,

0:21:260:21:27

so let's have a look at you on the bike.

0:21:270:21:30

And then... Let me finish the story.

0:21:300:21:31

LAUGHTER

0:21:310:21:33

..I remember, as I came back with the petrol canister,

0:21:330:21:35

falling off and damaging my leg,

0:21:350:21:37

and vowing that day never... LAUGHTER

0:21:370:21:40

..ever to ride one of these beasts again.

0:21:400:21:42

APPLAUSE

0:21:420:21:44

Would you like me to demonstrate me riding the bike?

0:21:440:21:47

I think so. I'm going to kill you for this.

0:21:470:21:49

LAUGHTER Go round the back... Yes.

0:21:490:21:51

..round the side of Sara, you can do it from there.

0:21:510:21:53

OK, I'm not feeling as young as I used to be,

0:21:530:21:55

so I may not be able to do a wheelie.

0:21:550:21:57

Right.

0:21:570:21:58

Is it all coming back?

0:21:580:21:59

LAUGHTER

0:21:590:22:00

And he had a petrol can as well, of course.

0:22:000:22:03

LAUGHTER

0:22:030:22:05

APPLAUSE

0:22:050:22:08

That's it, keep going, keep going.

0:22:130:22:15

Over the ramp, over the ramp.

0:22:150:22:18

I've got the petrol can.

0:22:180:22:20

It's all... Ow!

0:22:200:22:21

I've gone over the...

0:22:210:22:23

I've got the petrol can.

0:22:230:22:25

I'm coming, kids! Kids, I'm coming, stop crying!

0:22:250:22:29

Tell your mother not to divorce me, I've got the can!

0:22:290:22:31

LAUGHTER

0:22:310:22:35

APPLAUSE

0:22:350:22:38

Now I can see it would have been a big help.

0:22:420:22:44

LAUGHTER

0:22:440:22:47

Can I make a comment? Yeah. You're very out of breath.

0:22:470:22:49

Yes, I am. And you've done one lap of this.

0:22:490:22:53

Now you're telling us that you cycled three miles. Yes.

0:22:530:22:57

Do you remember having a coronary arrest at the end of the journey?

0:22:570:23:00

I was a lot younger in those days.

0:23:000:23:02

Why, when was it? This was just after Christmas.

0:23:020:23:05

LAUGHTER

0:23:050:23:07

Lee, what are you doing?

0:23:070:23:09

I'm thinking, in a minute,

0:23:090:23:10

I'm going to go wheelie the bike to the edge...

0:23:100:23:12

They're saying in my ear, "It seems like a very bad idea."

0:23:120:23:15

I say, "Let him have a go."

0:23:150:23:16

Oh, they're saying to YOU this is a bad idea!

0:23:160:23:18

How do you think I feel? LAUGHTER

0:23:180:23:21

What, you mean the same people that said,

0:23:210:23:23

"Pretend you stole a child's bike and went to a petrol station,"

0:23:230:23:26

and they're saying I'M the one with the bad idea(!)

0:23:260:23:29

LAUGHTER

0:23:290:23:30

APPLAUSE

0:23:300:23:37

Can I just say, Rob... Come here.

0:23:380:23:40

You with your little body, come on.

0:23:400:23:42

LAUGHTER Come on.

0:23:420:23:45

CHEERING

0:23:450:23:49

Will you help me on to it?

0:23:500:23:52

LAUGHTER

0:23:520:23:53

Right, I'll sit here and do the easy bit.

0:23:530:23:56

IN WELSH ACCENT: Right, I think I'm just going to make him

0:23:560:23:58

cycle around for a while.

0:23:580:24:00

I'm doing Rob Brydon.

0:24:000:24:01

Oh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:010:24:04

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:24:040:24:12

Fair play.

0:24:120:24:14

APPLAUSE

0:24:140:24:16

Do you want me to help you on to the seat?

0:24:160:24:18

Come on, up, jump!

0:24:180:24:19

Thank you. APPLAUSE

0:24:210:24:23

So, while Lee brings that huge bike back up...

0:24:230:24:26

..what are you thinking?

0:24:280:24:29

Stop me if you object, but I think we're going to say that it's a lie.

0:24:290:24:33

You're saying it's a lie. All right.

0:24:330:24:35

Yeah. It is, in fact...

0:24:350:24:37

APPLAUSE

0:24:400:24:43

Yes, it's a lie.

0:24:430:24:44

Lee didn't ride a child's bike to a petrol station.

0:24:440:24:47

Stupid game!

0:24:490:24:50

LAUGHTER

0:24:500:24:52

Next.

0:24:520:24:54

It's Harry.

0:24:540:24:56

"At a White House drinks reception,

0:24:570:24:59

"I was asked to judge who could do the best Mr Burns impression

0:24:590:25:02

"out of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Bono."

0:25:020:25:06

Oh, please be true, please be true.

0:25:080:25:10

This is the best thing we've ever had.

0:25:100:25:11

Yes!

0:25:110:25:13

What was the occasion?

0:25:130:25:14

They were honouring music, musicians...

0:25:140:25:17

It's a...

0:25:170:25:18

They have about four or five of these a year at the White House.

0:25:180:25:21

And why was there a Mr Burns...

0:25:210:25:24

a competition to sound like Mr Burns at a musical event?

0:25:240:25:27

I was there,

0:25:270:25:30

and I think they thought it would be a cute idea to have me, you know,

0:25:300:25:33

judge the thing because people are always ASKING me

0:25:330:25:35

to do these voice things.

0:25:350:25:37

Do you generally say no when people ask?

0:25:370:25:39

No, I don't. Good. Do it.

0:25:390:25:41

LAUGHTER

0:25:410:25:44

I mean I'd rather not ride a miniature pink bike... Yeah.

0:25:440:25:46

..but, you know, we all go with the cards we're dealt.

0:25:460:25:48

All right, so I will tell you about your riding the pink bike,

0:25:480:25:51

that you were...

0:25:510:25:53

AS MR BURNS: Excellent.

0:25:530:25:54

APPLAUSE

0:25:540:26:00

One word gets a round of applause.

0:26:000:26:02

I cycled round twice... LAUGHTER

0:26:020:26:05

..and I'm mocked.

0:26:050:26:06

And were they, like, the finalists?

0:26:060:26:08

They were the finalists, yes.

0:26:080:26:09

What did they get to say?

0:26:090:26:11

AS MR BURNS: "Release the hounds,"

0:26:110:26:13

"Excellent,"

0:26:130:26:15

and, uh, I think a couple more.

0:26:150:26:16

And who was the best?

0:26:160:26:18

I judged Barack Obama the best.

0:26:180:26:20

Very wise. Yeah.

0:26:200:26:22

LAUGHTER He's...

0:26:220:26:24

It was his house. Yeah, absolutely.

0:26:240:26:25

Whereas Bono...?

0:26:250:26:26

His Burns was a little too breathy, I thought.

0:26:260:26:30

Could you give us an approximation of Bono's Burns?

0:26:300:26:32

DEEP AND BREATHY: "Release the hounds,

0:26:320:26:34

"release the hounds." Something like that.

0:26:340:26:36

IN MOCK IRISH ACCENT: "Oh, release d'hounds, release d'hounds,

0:26:360:26:38

"release, release d'hounds."

0:26:380:26:40

Something like that? No, it wasn't like that.

0:26:400:26:42

And what about...? Tom Jones?

0:26:420:26:44

LAUGHTER

0:26:440:26:47

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:26:470:26:48

AS TOM JONES: "Release...the hounds."

0:26:480:26:50

APPLAUSE

0:26:500:26:54

And what about... Bill Clinton.

0:26:540:26:56

AS CLINTON: ..Bill Clinton?

0:26:560:26:57

AS CLINTON: "Well, you've gotta release the hounds now."

0:26:570:27:00

LAUGHTER

0:27:000:27:02

AS CLINTON: I did not...

0:27:020:27:04

release...

0:27:040:27:05

those hounds...

0:27:050:27:06

With that woman. ..with that woman.

0:27:060:27:08

APPLAUSE

0:27:080:27:11

David, what are you thinking about that?

0:27:110:27:13

Nick, you know how the centres of power operate -

0:27:130:27:16

is this kind of ado...

0:27:160:27:18

It's totally plausible. It's plausible that they'd have a...

0:27:180:27:21

competition like that?

0:27:210:27:22

I think so. They wouldn't...?

0:27:220:27:24

Obama, Clinton get on well.

0:27:240:27:25

Yeah, yeah. Bono's everywhere, isn't he?

0:27:250:27:27

Bono's always there. He's like Mickey Mouse,

0:27:270:27:29

there's one in each continent.

0:27:290:27:31

LAUGHTER

0:27:310:27:32

I think he's telling the truth. Yeah?

0:27:320:27:34

Well, I think, you know, we... You all say, "True?"

0:27:340:27:36

..can't imagine a party at the White House, really.

0:27:360:27:38

We can't imagine what that would be like.

0:27:380:27:41

I mean, you've been to Buckingham Palace, haven't you?

0:27:410:27:43

I've been to a buffet at Dale Winton's house, that's about as...

0:27:430:27:46

LAUGHTER That's as close as I've got.

0:27:460:27:48

All right, what are you going to say? I think we're saying it's true.

0:27:480:27:51

You're saying it's true? OK. Yeah. Harry Shearer, truth or lie?

0:27:510:27:54

AS SMITHERS: "Sir, you have to tell them now."

0:27:540:27:56

AS MR BURNS: "All right, I will."

0:27:560:27:58

LAUGHTER

0:27:580:28:00

Don't rush it, cos I want to hear that again.

0:28:000:28:02

LAUGHTER

0:28:020:28:04

AS MR BURNS: "It was..."

0:28:040:28:06

APPLAUSE

0:28:060:28:09

BUZZER

0:28:110:28:13

Well, that noise signals time is up and it's the end of the show,

0:28:130:28:15

and I can reveal that David's team

0:28:150:28:17

have won by three points to two.

0:28:170:28:19

APPLAUSE

0:28:190:28:21

Thanks for watching. Goodnight.

0:28:210:28:23

APPLAUSE

0:28:230:28:26

Unparalleled talent, unprecedented access.

0:28:490:28:51

BBC Two takes a sneaky peek behind the celebrity curtain.

0:28:510:28:54

One piece of advice...

0:28:540:28:56

Go out there, grab it with both hands and stick it in your mouth.

0:28:560:28:59

Job done!

0:28:590:29:00

Easy peasy, get yourself a catchphrase.
