Good evening, and welcome to Would I Lie To You?, the show that

0:00:240:00:27

sorts the facts from the fibs. On Lee Mack's team tonight -

0:00:270:00:31

an actor who shot to fame as an Ewok.

0:00:310:00:34

An Ewok is an alien being in the Star Wars films,

0:00:340:00:37

and not, as I thought, an electronic cooking device.

0:00:370:00:40

It's Warwick Davis. APPLAUSE

0:00:400:00:45

And a comedian and actor whose father was a bishop,

0:00:450:00:48

which meant, growing up, he was always on the move - diagonally.

0:00:480:00:52

It's Hugh Dennis. APPLAUSE

0:00:520:00:56

And on David Mitchell's team tonight -

0:00:560:00:58

he's the BBC's World Affairs editor,

0:00:580:01:00

who's spent decades in the middle of mindless,

0:01:000:01:03

stupid conflicts. So, welcome home -

0:01:030:01:06

it's John Simpson. APPLAUSE

0:01:060:01:10

And a comedian who once went onto a cookery show

0:01:100:01:13

and made an omelette in 20 seconds.

0:01:130:01:16

You've heard of death by chocolate, this was death by salmonella.

0:01:160:01:19

It's Katherine Ryan. APPLAUSE

0:01:190:01:23

And, so to Round One, Home Truths, where our panellists each

0:01:240:01:27

read out a statement 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

they've no idea what they'll be faced with -

0:01:310:01:33

and it's up to the opposing team to sort the fact from the fiction.

0:01:330:01:37

Katherine, you're first up tonight. OK.

0:01:370:01:39

My motto is - "Never give a child a one-syllable name,

0:01:410:01:45

"because life has taught me that people with one-syllable names

0:01:450:01:49

"are generally dim."

0:01:490:01:51

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Lee.

0:01:530:01:55

Hugh, me and you. You're all right. Me? War-wick, yeah, that's fine.

0:01:570:02:00

So, do you mean your own children, or nobody should

0:02:000:02:03

give their children one-syllable names? It's just my motto.

0:02:030:02:06

No-one should do it. Who do you base it on?

0:02:060:02:08

Anyone I've ever met with a... Whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:02:080:02:11

Don't say ANYBODY you've ever met. Well, say what you're going

0:02:110:02:14

to say first, and let's see where it goes.

0:02:140:02:16

Anybody you've ever met... with a one-syllable name?

0:02:180:02:21

Yes. Keep going. In my country. Oh, here we go.

0:02:210:02:24

APPLAUSE Well, well rescued.

0:02:250:02:29

I'm from Canada, and it started with boyfriends. I dated a Bob,

0:02:310:02:35

I dated a Steve, and they were both... When was this? The 1970s?

0:02:350:02:39

Sorry, Rob, that's a fine name. Bob, though, it's quite...

0:02:390:02:42

Why is Bob a '70s name? Because Bob's not really the name of...

0:02:420:02:46

I'm guessing this was a few years ago.

0:02:460:02:47

It's not quite as "now" as Lee, I'll give you that.

0:02:470:02:49

I mean, that doesn't smack of 1970s inner city deprivation, does it?

0:02:510:02:55

I feel sorry for Dave in the middle there.

0:02:570:02:59

Hey, whoa, what about John? John's a very bright fella.

0:03:000:03:03

He's got one syllable. Well, I'm on this programme.

0:03:030:03:06

APPLAUSE

0:03:060:03:09

You have this attitude towards British people as well?

0:03:110:03:14

You were just saying that, weren't you? You actually do believe that

0:03:140:03:16

everyone with a one-syllable name...

0:03:160:03:18

I just think that, if you're expecting a child, you have a

0:03:180:03:24

long time to consider it. You want to give that child a name

0:03:240:03:28

that can transition them into any field of work in life.

0:03:280:03:33

Hugh, how do you feel about all this, being a one-syllable loser?

0:03:330:03:37

Are you offended?

0:03:370:03:38

I'm not a one-syllable, cos that is my middle name.

0:03:380:03:41

MURMURS OF INTRIGUE

0:03:410:03:44

My God, it's like EastEnders, isn't it?

0:03:460:03:48

My real name is Peter. Why are you called Hugh, then?

0:03:510:03:54

I've always called you Hugh.

0:03:540:03:55

Because, you know when you joined Equity?

0:03:550:03:57

Did you ever join Equity? 'Course I did! How dare you!

0:03:570:04:01

So, when you join Equity, you can't have two actors with the same name.

0:04:010:04:05

And there was another Peter Dennis, and he was...

0:04:050:04:07

I was like, 23, and he was in his mid-60s. So my agent wrote to Equity

0:04:070:04:11

and said, "Look, can our Peter Dennis be called

0:04:110:04:14

"Peter Dennis? Because there's no chance of confusion with

0:04:140:04:16

"the other Peter Dennis, who is about to retire, etc."

0:04:160:04:18

And they wrote back and said, "Under normal circumstances, that

0:04:180:04:21

"would be absolutely fine, but the problem is that the other

0:04:210:04:25

"Peter Dennis is the chairman of the Equity Name Change Committee."

0:04:250:04:29

So you don't see yourself as a one-syllable name, really?

0:04:340:04:36

God, no. No, no, no.

0:04:360:04:38

What's your partner's name?

0:04:410:04:43

My partner moved to Japan this morning, so...

0:04:430:04:46

What was his name? ..I think we broke up.

0:04:460:04:48

Are you serious? You think you broke up this morning?

0:04:490:04:51

I think so, cos he just moved to... You THINK so?

0:04:510:04:53

Wow. Lee, Lee, move on.

0:04:550:04:57

Did he have a one-syllable name? No, his name's Alex.

0:04:590:05:02

Alex. Yeah. Ah, lovely Alex. Or, as you'll now call him, Al.

0:05:020:05:06

Or Ex. APPLAUSE

0:05:070:05:10

Nice. That's good. I'm very good.

0:05:130:05:15

Can I ask a question? So, you live by this rule, but have you

0:05:170:05:21

ever thought about the psychology, what's going on here?

0:05:210:05:24

I have thought it through.

0:05:240:05:26

I think that dim parents just have dim children.

0:05:260:05:30

Can I just say, both my parents had one-syllable names.

0:05:310:05:33

This is all starting to stack up.

0:05:370:05:39

So, what do you think, Lee? Is she telling the truth,

0:05:390:05:41

or has she made this all up?

0:05:410:05:43

Under normal circumstances, I would say,

0:05:430:05:45

"She's just saying any old rubbish,"

0:05:450:05:46

but she's under a lot of stress at the moment,

0:05:460:05:48

because she broke up with someone. Not like last week, or a couple...

0:05:480:05:53

This morning. This morning.

0:05:530:05:55

That's added a new little energy to the room, hasn't it?

0:05:550:05:57

Well, you know, if it is her main motto, and I'm sorry to hear that

0:05:570:06:01

Alex has gone, but he's got two syllables, so it doesn't really

0:06:010:06:06

work, does it? Because obviously he IS dim, leaving you. Aww!

0:06:060:06:10

That was quite good. Oh, thank you.

0:06:100:06:12

So, you think it's a lie? Yeah, I tend to think that, yeah.

0:06:130:06:17

And you think...? I think it's a lie. We'd better go lie, then.

0:06:170:06:19

You're going to say lie? I hope it's a lie.

0:06:190:06:21

OK. Katherine, was it the truth, or were you telling a lie?

0:06:210:06:25

It was a lie. I lied about it all! APPLAUSE

0:06:270:06:31

Yes, it's a lie. Katherine doesn't go by the motto,

0:06:330:06:37

"Never give a child a one-syllable name." Warwick, you're next. Ah.

0:06:370:06:40

A possession. Ah. There will be a box under your desk. There is.

0:06:430:06:46

Put the object that's in the box on the desk first,

0:06:480:06:51

and then read the card, please.

0:06:510:06:54

This is the bottle of hand gel I use to wash my hands before I

0:06:540:06:59

handle my main bottle of hand gel.

0:06:590:07:01

David's team.

0:07:050:07:07

I think we can see the reasoning behind that.

0:07:090:07:12

So, explain your process.

0:07:120:07:16

In this day and age, you have to be very conscious of germs.

0:07:160:07:20

And I meet a lot of people and have to shake their hands, and some

0:07:200:07:23

of them, you know... Are diseased. ..potentially a bit unsavoury.

0:07:230:07:27

I will have a bottle of hand gel, cleanse my hands, then I can

0:07:270:07:31

get the other bottle of hand gel now,

0:07:310:07:33

the outside of which is not contaminated.

0:07:330:07:37

So the second bottle remains pure the whole time? Very pure, yeah.

0:07:370:07:39

But if you take the bottle in the hand you didn't shake

0:07:390:07:42

the person's hand with... Yes, yeah.

0:07:420:07:44

..so that hand is clean, all you need to do is just

0:07:440:07:48

pour it on both hands. You'll have no problem.

0:07:480:07:51

Yeah, you make it sound so easy.

0:07:510:07:54

I'll tell you how all this started, and I think there is some sort of...

0:07:570:08:00

It started when you picked up that box and opened it.

0:08:000:08:03

There is some sort of trauma that I've got, and it was from

0:08:050:08:07

a time being in a gents' toilet... Don't.

0:08:070:08:10

And what happened was... I have trouble reaching things in

0:08:130:08:16

the toilets, you see, and on one occasion I went for...

0:08:160:08:18

What are you trying to reach for?

0:08:180:08:20

No wonder you need this stuff.

0:08:240:08:26

This is how it developed. I squirted some of the cream soap on, right?

0:08:260:08:30

LEE SNORTS On the wall, OK?

0:08:300:08:33

But it was only then I realised I couldn't reach the tap.

0:08:330:08:38

From that moment on, I pack a couple of bottles of hand gel.

0:08:380:08:42

How soon after meeting us...? We were all here about tea-time today,

0:08:420:08:45

weren't we? You came in with a lovely... "Great to see you again."

0:08:450:08:50

Everyone was shaking hands. How soon after that did you

0:08:500:08:53

scurry away, reach into your pockets, and furiously...?

0:08:530:08:59

How long...? What's the gap?

0:09:010:09:04

Well, it's just whenever I would get a quiet opportunity.

0:09:050:09:09

I don't think this is the truth, because I've had several

0:09:110:09:14

interactions with Warwick Davis, and I don't think that this is

0:09:140:09:17

something I would have missed. He certainly didn't do it after...

0:09:170:09:20

IMMEDIATELY after I shook hands with him.

0:09:200:09:22

No. If he does it, he's subtle.

0:09:220:09:24

You have to be, don't you?

0:09:240:09:25

I mean, I can't be seen to be going, "Hello!"

0:09:250:09:28

You know, because that's rude, isn't it?

0:09:300:09:32

And it's not just "Hello, mmm."

0:09:320:09:35

It's "Hello, mmm, mmm."

0:09:350:09:38

You know how you can do it? If I'm sitting at a table

0:09:400:09:42

and I meet somebody, I can do it down here.

0:09:420:09:45

That's worse. APPLAUSE

0:09:450:09:49

That's definitely worse.

0:09:490:09:51

OK, it's time to take a guess. What are you going to say? It's a lie.

0:09:510:09:56

It's a lie? Lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. You're saying it's a lie.

0:09:560:09:59

Warwick, was it the truth, or was it a lie?

0:09:590:10:02

It was...

0:10:020:10:03

a lie. APPLAUSE

0:10:030:10:07

Yes, it's a lie. That isn't the hand gel that Warwick uses before

0:10:080:10:12

his main bottle of hand gel.

0:10:120:10:15

John, you're next. OK.

0:10:150:10:17

I once crawled through passport control on my hands and knees

0:10:180:10:23

because I'd forgotten to pack my passport.

0:10:230:10:26

Lee's team. Where was this?

0:10:270:10:30

Er, Brussels.

0:10:310:10:33

On the way in, or on the way out? On the way out.

0:10:330:10:36

Oh, it's horrible when Brussels are on the way out.

0:10:360:10:38

So how...? When did you start the crawl?

0:10:400:10:42

There was a passport official, sitting there, at this high desk,

0:10:420:10:47

reading an adult magazine.

0:10:470:10:50

Whoa, whoa, hang on, stop. Stop. Let's get that image, first of all.

0:10:500:10:54

The man is at passport control, and he's reading a girlie magazine?

0:10:540:10:59

First of all,

0:10:590:11:00

why does he think he's allowed to do this and get away with it?

0:11:000:11:02

Well, it was 9:30 at night. I suppose he thought he'd had

0:11:020:11:05

the last passenger through. He, erm...

0:11:050:11:08

You honestly want us to believe that everyone's going through,

0:11:090:11:12

and he's, er...

0:11:120:11:13

When did you realise you didn't have your passport?

0:11:300:11:34

When I saw the desk, cos I put my hand in my pocket, and I realised

0:11:340:11:39

I'd left it in my wife's car when she'd dropped me off at the airport.

0:11:390:11:45

And how far would you say, approximately, the crawl was?

0:11:450:11:49

Shall I show you? Please do, yes. OK. That would be even better. OK.

0:11:490:11:53

Now, also, I get to look at all the, erm...

0:11:530:11:56

So he couldn't see me from behind.

0:12:010:12:03

Right. OK? That was the title of the magazine, was it?

0:12:030:12:06

I see he's looking at the magazine, I see he's not looking at me.

0:12:090:12:12

OK, so then you...? So I got up, and about here... Yeah?

0:12:120:12:17

I got down on my knees and I crawled along here

0:12:170:12:23

in front of him. The desk was much higher. OK. Much higher.

0:12:230:12:28

It was about.. Like that.

0:12:280:12:30

I think, actually, Rob, in your case,

0:12:310:12:33

you'd better stand on the chair. APPLAUSE

0:12:330:12:37

I would not put up with that. I would not put up with that.

0:12:390:12:41

I don't mind it from him, but from an educated man like you...

0:12:410:12:45

And so here...

0:12:450:12:47

Whoa! Oh, hello.

0:12:480:12:51

Not on there, Rob! Don't stand on the desk, you fool.

0:12:510:12:53

No, the desk is made out of papier mache.

0:12:530:12:56

Quite heroic, isn't it? It is. Magnificent.

0:12:570:13:00

OK. Now... APPLAUSE

0:13:000:13:05

OK. The desk is up to there.

0:13:080:13:12

And I came along like this, only on my hands and knees.

0:13:120:13:16

Yeah, go on, keep going. And then I carried on a bit.

0:13:160:13:18

And then I ran like the clappers!

0:13:180:13:20

Just stay... Just stay there a minute.

0:13:220:13:23

Just in case I ever forget my passport.

0:13:230:13:25

APPLAUSE

0:13:270:13:32

Do you want a hand getting down, Rob?

0:13:370:13:38

I'm all right. You're all right.

0:13:380:13:40

So, what are you thinking? It's pretty ridiculous, isn't it?

0:13:400:13:44

Actually, I think it's true. Oh, really? I'm going to go with true.

0:13:440:13:47

So, Warwick says it's a lie, Hugh says it's true.

0:13:470:13:51

I will say it's true. OK, John.

0:13:510:13:54

Truth or lie?

0:13:540:13:56

Well, it's in fact completely true.

0:13:560:13:59

Oh! APPLAUSE

0:13:590:14:02

Our next round is called This Is My..., where we bring on

0:14:060:14:09

a mystery guest who has a close connection to one of our panellists.

0:14:090:14:12

This week, each of Lee's team will claim it's them that has the

0:14:120:14:16

genuine connection to the guest, and it's up to David's team

0:14:160:14:18

to spot who's telling the truth.

0:14:180:14:20

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

0:14:200:14:23

APPLAUSE

0:14:230:14:28

So, Hugh, what is Michael to you?

0:14:310:14:34

This is Michael.

0:14:340:14:36

He once tried to sell the remains of my lunch for ?100.

0:14:360:14:41

Warwick, how do you know Michael?

0:14:410:14:44

This is my neighbour, Michael,

0:14:440:14:45

and I first met him when his shot put came over my garden fence.

0:14:450:14:49

Finally, Lee, what's your relationship with Michael?

0:14:510:14:53

This is Michael, and last summer, I threw his phone in a boating lake.

0:14:530:14:58

So, there we have it.

0:15:000:15:01

Is Michael Hugh's snack seller, Warwick's shot put slinger,

0:15:010:15:05

or Lee's phoneless friend?

0:15:050:15:07

David's team, where do you want to start?

0:15:070:15:09

Well, shall we start with Hugh?

0:15:090:15:11

What was this lunch, and where were you having it?

0:15:110:15:14

It was in a cafe in Cornwall... Oh, right. ..that Michael used to run.

0:15:140:15:20

And I had a... Well, I had a sandwich, I think.

0:15:200:15:24

Now, I knew nothing about this selling of my lunch

0:15:240:15:29

until much later.

0:15:290:15:31

I was told by a friend that, in fact, what had happened was that

0:15:310:15:34

Michael had set up this thing in the cafe,

0:15:340:15:39

called The Museum Of Celebrity Leftovers.

0:15:390:15:44

Sounds like the name of this show.

0:15:440:15:45

APPLAUSE

0:15:450:15:49

As far as I remember, there was this sort of little jar...

0:15:510:15:54

A jar? ..with the leftover of the particular person.

0:15:540:15:56

Sort of like a specimen bottle.

0:15:560:15:58

It wasn't like a proper leftover? It was just, essentially, crumbs?

0:15:580:16:02

It was crumbs, then put into a glass...

0:16:020:16:05

It wasn't just me. It was various celebrities. Various...

0:16:060:16:09

Who were the other celebrities that featured? Yeah. Jan Leeming.

0:16:090:16:14

I'll tell you what - at the moment, you are the best. Yeah.

0:16:140:16:17

Michael Winner, I think, was there. Oh, right. And...

0:16:180:16:22

..Prince Charles. Whoa! Prince Charles?

0:16:230:16:28

Do you know what Prince Charles had left?

0:16:290:16:31

I think it was bread and butter pudding.

0:16:310:16:33

How much did it go for, in the end?

0:16:350:16:37

I don't know. Surely you know how much your own memorabilia...?

0:16:370:16:41

The only bit of memorabilia I do know about was that, on eBay,

0:16:410:16:45

my autograph - ?1.35.

0:16:450:16:49

On a ?5 note, yes, yes.

0:16:510:16:54

Who would you like to ask next?

0:17:000:17:02

So, Warwick, Michael is your next-door neighbour? Yes.

0:17:020:17:06

What does Michael do for a living

0:17:060:17:07

that he can afford to live next to you?

0:17:070:17:09

He's a very successful businessman.

0:17:120:17:14

And so the shot put is just a hobby for him?

0:17:140:17:17

Well, it was something he used to do in his younger days.

0:17:170:17:20

He was in the army, and they used to have a sporting event,

0:17:200:17:23

and the shot put was his particular speciality.

0:17:230:17:27

So, if he... Describe the incident. OK. Erm...

0:17:270:17:30

I've got quite a large garden. I was having a walk round.

0:17:310:17:33

I was on a two-day expedition.

0:17:330:17:36

And I just heard a sort of thudding sound,

0:17:390:17:43

and you could almost feel the ground vibrate a little bit. Mm-hm.

0:17:430:17:46

And I thought, "What on earth was that?",

0:17:460:17:47

and looked around, and behind me was

0:17:470:17:51

what I thought at the time was a cannonball.

0:17:510:17:53

It had made a big divot in my lawn.

0:17:550:17:57

You thought you were under fire from a medieval army.

0:17:570:18:00

Yeah, well, I didn't know what had happened,

0:18:000:18:02

and your instinct is to look up, you know?

0:18:020:18:04

I don't know what I was expecting to see, but I looked around,

0:18:040:18:07

and then I heard this little voice go, "Sorry!"

0:18:070:18:10

And I looked towards the fence, and Michael was looking over...

0:18:100:18:14

If you'd had any sense, you'd have got it next to your head,

0:18:140:18:16

laid down like that.

0:18:160:18:17

Where there's blame, there's a claim.

0:18:180:18:21

May I approach Michael? You may approach Michael.

0:18:220:18:26

OK, so, like...

0:18:260:18:28

One of my many talents is that I can spot wealth in a man.

0:18:280:18:32

And yet, when I do this to women...

0:18:390:18:41

So, from your inspection, Katherine, do you think that Michael is

0:18:440:18:49

sufficiently affluent to live next door to Warwick?

0:18:490:18:51

Where do you think Warwick lives? In Graceland, or somewhere?

0:18:510:18:55

He's been in a few films! With no disrespect...

0:18:550:18:58

I doubt it's like Simon Cowell's house.

0:19:010:19:04

APPLAUSE What about Lee?

0:19:040:19:07

Erm, Lee. Yes. You threw Michael's phone in a lake.

0:19:070:19:11

See? He agrees. It's the truth.

0:19:110:19:13

Why did you throw his phone in a lake?

0:19:140:19:17

Because I was trying to give him his phone back.

0:19:170:19:22

And he was in a boat, on the lake? No. I was in the boat.

0:19:220:19:27

Do you know Michael?

0:19:270:19:28

No. How did you know it was his phone?

0:19:280:19:31

Because he was shouting at me from the bank.

0:19:310:19:34

Not the ba... I don't mean he was drawing money out, I mean the side.

0:19:340:19:38

He was saying, "Throw me my phone across the water," to somebody

0:19:380:19:43

he'd never seen before, and whose throwing qualities he didn't know?

0:19:430:19:47

No. This is what I heard at the time. "'Scuse me!"

0:19:470:19:50

DISTANTLY: "My te... in your boat."

0:19:500:19:52

"What?" He said, "I think I...tele...in your boat."

0:19:530:19:56

"Here, mate, you're miles away." And he said,

0:19:580:20:01

"My telephone is in your boat!"

0:20:010:20:05

And I thought, "That's an unusual way to talk,"

0:20:060:20:08

cos I was shaking his hand at the time.

0:20:080:20:10

Eventually, I worked out he was saying, "My phone is in your boat."

0:20:120:20:16

So, I sort of look around and, sure enough, under my seat was a phone.

0:20:160:20:20

Well, why didn't he just wait until you reached the shore?

0:20:200:20:23

Which is what he wanted to do. What he wanted to happen.

0:20:230:20:26

But I, being a bit more confident in my throwing abilities

0:20:260:20:30

than I should be, thought, "Well, I'll row towards him a bit."

0:20:300:20:34

And I went like that, and I just did the worst throw I've ever done.

0:20:340:20:36

And it just went straight into the water.

0:20:360:20:38

Do you know Michael's surname?

0:20:380:20:41

I don't, no.

0:20:410:20:42

How did you get on to him to invite him onto the programme?

0:20:420:20:45

Oh, I think you'll find that I don't deal with the admin.

0:20:450:20:48

APPLAUSE

0:20:480:20:53

But it seems to me not absolutely impossible that the admin

0:20:550:20:59

people would have said, "That's an interesting story, Lee." Yes.

0:20:590:21:03

"What's Michael's other name, so that we can get in touch with him?"

0:21:030:21:06

Well, you haven't heard the rest of the story, have you?

0:21:060:21:08

Cos I felt guilty, and so I decided to buy him a new phone.

0:21:080:21:12

And so I said, "Give me your number,"

0:21:120:21:14

cos obviously, his home number, "and I will phone you when I've

0:21:140:21:18

"got the other phone for you, and I'll deliver it."

0:21:180:21:20

So when the people working on this show heard the story and said,

0:21:200:21:23

"Cor, blimey, that's quite fascinating.

0:21:230:21:26

"I don't suppose you know his surname, do you?"

0:21:260:21:28

I said, "I don't, but I've got his number, right here."

0:21:280:21:31

They said, "Great. Chuck it over." Well, I threw it...

0:21:310:21:34

APPLAUSE It went straight out the window.

0:21:340:21:37

Landed in a puddle.

0:21:370:21:39

We need an answer.

0:21:400:21:42

So, David's team, is Michael Hugh's snack seller,

0:21:420:21:45

Warwick's shot put slinger, or Lee's phoneless friend?

0:21:450:21:50

Well, Hugh's story...

0:21:500:21:51

I don't think Hugh was even trying to make his story that believable.

0:21:510:21:55

No. And so there's a chance that it's a fiendish double-bluff,

0:21:550:21:59

and that means it's true.

0:21:590:22:01

I love the idea of a celebrity leftover museum. But it sounds...

0:22:010:22:05

What, do you?

0:22:050:22:06

I've been to Cornwall,

0:22:080:22:09

and it sounds like it could be quite an attraction.

0:22:090:22:13

APPLAUSE

0:22:130:22:16

Erm... Warwick's story, that could be true.

0:22:200:22:23

Michael, he looks like a shot putter. Mm-hm.

0:22:230:22:26

I mean, he wouldn't put it over somebody else's fence, would he?

0:22:260:22:30

So what are you saying? You think it's LEE? Well...

0:22:300:22:33

Katherine, which way are you leaning?

0:22:340:22:37

I feel like the shot put story is real,

0:22:370:22:41

and that is because Warwick looked up to Michael a lot.

0:22:410:22:46

I feel like they have a certain intimacy.

0:22:460:22:48

Then again, it could be on the boating lake, the phone mishap.

0:22:500:22:54

It is.

0:22:540:22:55

I feel like a more likely admin story as to why Michael is here,

0:22:550:23:00

after Lee throwing his phone off the boat,

0:23:000:23:02

is perhaps Michael got on social media, and was like,

0:23:020:23:06

"Lee Mack threw my phone into a lake,"

0:23:060:23:08

and the show reached out that way.

0:23:080:23:11

I don't want to stereotype,

0:23:110:23:13

but to me, Michael looks more like someone who threw a shot put in the

0:23:130:23:16

army a few years ago, than someone who's massive on social media.

0:23:160:23:21

Yes. APPLAUSE

0:23:210:23:25

So, what's it going to be? We're going to go with Warwick. Warwick.

0:23:270:23:30

OK. Michael, would you please reveal your true identity?

0:23:300:23:35

My name is Michael, and I did try to sell the remains of a lunch.

0:23:350:23:40

APPLAUSE

0:23:430:23:46

Thank you very much, Michael.

0:23:480:23:50

Which brings us to our final round, Quick-Fire Lies,

0:23:550:23:58

and we start with...

0:23:580:24:00

It's David.

0:24:020:24:03

Last summer, I lost a tennis match when

0:24:050:24:08

a bee buzzed up the leg of my shorts at a crucial moment.

0:24:080:24:13

Lee's team.

0:24:150:24:17

Right. What was the crucial moment?

0:24:170:24:19

Match point.

0:24:200:24:22

What was the score at that point, in sets?

0:24:220:24:25

I'll be honest - we only played one set.

0:24:260:24:29

And what was the score in games at that point?

0:24:290:24:32

At that point? Yes.

0:24:320:24:36

The score in games...

0:24:360:24:37

I think you know what I'm asking you, David. ..was 5-4.

0:24:390:24:44

To you? 3, 2, 1, I'm going to tell you...

0:24:440:24:47

It was 5-4. To you. No, no, I lost.

0:24:480:24:52

Oh, I see, at a crucial point.

0:24:520:24:54

Right, so, did this bee sting you, or did he come in,

0:24:540:24:57

have a quick shufti, and exit?

0:24:570:24:59

A shufti and exit. Did it exit out the other leg?

0:24:590:25:02

No. Or was anything blocking his passage?

0:25:030:25:06

Do you play regularly? I don't really, no.

0:25:070:25:10

I used to play more regularly, but now I play...

0:25:100:25:13

What standard would you say you are?

0:25:130:25:15

If zero is someone that's never played ever,

0:25:150:25:18

and ten is Boris Becker, what are you?

0:25:180:25:20

What's one?

0:25:210:25:22

Tim Henman.

0:25:230:25:25

Well, in which case, I'm probably a 0.3.

0:25:290:25:32

Would you give us a demonstration of your serve technique?

0:25:320:25:35

Oh, yes, that...

0:25:350:25:37

It would be lovely, I think, for Lee and his team if they had an idea.

0:25:370:25:40

They look at this serve, they say, "Well, there's a guy

0:25:400:25:42

"who wouldn't be bamboozled by a bumble," or maybe "he would."

0:25:420:25:45

All right. I have to say, I think this is totally pointless.

0:25:450:25:49

But I'll do it. Shall we say...?

0:25:510:25:53

I like a man who joins in with the fun.

0:25:530:25:55

I'm so sorry, this is just a waste of your time.

0:25:560:25:59

This is the racquet, in my right hand. David, why don't...?

0:26:000:26:03

I'm so sorry, I...

0:26:070:26:08

Rob... OK, caught it.

0:26:160:26:18

Ready? Are you going to actually...?

0:26:240:26:25

You're not going to fire it at me, are you?

0:26:250:26:27

No, I'll... Aim it over there. I'll zing it down that way.

0:26:270:26:30

Please do, yeah. OK.

0:26:300:26:32

Well, it's a bit... Bit tepid, David. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:26:370:26:40

That's barely even over the net. You don't believe I serve like that? No.

0:26:400:26:44

I want to see your feet off the ground, and put some...

0:26:440:26:47

I want to see you grunting.

0:26:470:26:48

Oh, hang on! Wait a minute!

0:26:500:26:52

Haven't got a ball, have you? It went over there.

0:26:550:26:58

All right, ready? Right, go on, then.

0:27:060:27:08

I'm going to grunt. Go for it. I'm going to put my back into this.

0:27:080:27:11

Go on, then. I'm going to show I want it.

0:27:110:27:13

What you doing that with your hand for?

0:27:130:27:15

You trying to get rid of the bees?

0:27:150:27:17

I'm bouncing the ball. Looks like you're congratulating a small child.

0:27:170:27:19

"Well done, son. You did very well."

0:27:190:27:22

OK, and... BZZZZ!

0:27:220:27:24

GRUNTS EXCESSIVELY APPLAUSE

0:27:240:27:27

That was lovely, thank you. That was lovely. That was...

0:27:270:27:30

That was more than we could ever have hoped for.

0:27:340:27:36

Thank you. What do you think?

0:27:360:27:38

He doesn't look like a tennis player.

0:27:380:27:39

He probably has picked up a tennis racquet.

0:27:390:27:41

I don't think he's claiming to be at county level.

0:27:410:27:43

He doesn't look like he would be at any level. No.

0:27:430:27:46

I just... I don't think...

0:27:460:27:48

I think that's a lie. You think it's a lie. Yeah.

0:27:490:27:52

Warwick. I think it's a lie, cos he...

0:27:520:27:54

Maybe a bee flew up his shorts when he was having an ice cream,

0:27:540:27:56

but he definitely wasn't...

0:27:560:27:58

That's the most belittling thing I've ever heard on this show.

0:28:030:28:07

OK, we'll say it's a lie. OK. David.

0:28:070:28:11

Was that the truth, or was it a lie?

0:28:110:28:13

It was a lie. APPLAUSE

0:28:130:28:16

BUZZER SOUNDS That noise signals time is up.

0:28:190:28:21

It's the end of the show, and I can reveal that Lee's team

0:28:210:28:24

have won 4-1. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:28:240:28:29

Thanks for watching. Goodnight.

0:28:290:28:31

DISTANT RINGING What?!

0:28:590:29:00

DISTANT RINGING What?!
