Good evening, and welcome to Would I Lie To You?, the show that | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
sorts the facts from the fibs. On Lee Mack's team tonight - | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
an actor who shot to fame as an Ewok. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
An Ewok is an alien being in the Star Wars films, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
and not, as I thought, an electronic cooking device. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
It's Warwick Davis. APPLAUSE | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
And a comedian and actor whose father was a bishop, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
which meant, growing up, he was always on the move - diagonally. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
It's Hugh Dennis. APPLAUSE | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
And on David Mitchell's team tonight - | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
he's the BBC's World Affairs editor, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
who's spent decades in the middle of mindless, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
stupid conflicts. So, welcome home - | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
it's John Simpson. APPLAUSE | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
And a comedian who once went onto a cookery show | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
and made an omelette in 20 seconds. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
You've heard of death by chocolate, this was death by salmonella. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
It's Katherine Ryan. APPLAUSE | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
And, so to Round One, Home Truths, where our panellists each | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
read out a statement from the card in front of them. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
To make things harder, they've never seen the card before - | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
they've no idea what they'll be faced with - | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
and it's up to the opposing team to sort the fact from the fiction. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
Katherine, you're first up tonight. OK. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
My motto is - "Never give a child a one-syllable name, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
"because life has taught me that people with one-syllable names | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
"are generally dim." | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Lee. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Hugh, me and you. You're all right. Me? War-wick, yeah, that's fine. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
So, do you mean your own children, or nobody should | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
give their children one-syllable names? It's just my motto. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
No-one should do it. Who do you base it on? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Anyone I've ever met with a... Whoa, whoa, whoa. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Don't say ANYBODY you've ever met. Well, say what you're going | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
to say first, and let's see where it goes. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Anybody you've ever met... with a one-syllable name? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Yes. Keep going. In my country. Oh, here we go. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
APPLAUSE Well, well rescued. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
I'm from Canada, and it started with boyfriends. I dated a Bob, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
I dated a Steve, and they were both... When was this? The 1970s? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Sorry, Rob, that's a fine name. Bob, though, it's quite... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Why is Bob a '70s name? Because Bob's not really the name of... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
I'm guessing this was a few years ago. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
It's not quite as "now" as Lee, I'll give you that. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
I mean, that doesn't smack of 1970s inner city deprivation, does it? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
I feel sorry for Dave in the middle there. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Hey, whoa, what about John? John's a very bright fella. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
He's got one syllable. Well, I'm on this programme. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
You have this attitude towards British people as well? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
You were just saying that, weren't you? You actually do believe that | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
everyone with a one-syllable name... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
I just think that, if you're expecting a child, you have a | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
long time to consider it. You want to give that child a name | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
that can transition them into any field of work in life. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
Hugh, how do you feel about all this, being a one-syllable loser? | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Are you offended? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
I'm not a one-syllable, cos that is my middle name. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
MURMURS OF INTRIGUE | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
My God, it's like EastEnders, isn't it? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
My real name is Peter. Why are you called Hugh, then? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
I've always called you Hugh. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Because, you know when you joined Equity? | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Did you ever join Equity? 'Course I did! How dare you! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
So, when you join Equity, you can't have two actors with the same name. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
And there was another Peter Dennis, and he was... | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I was like, 23, and he was in his mid-60s. So my agent wrote to Equity | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
and said, "Look, can our Peter Dennis be called | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
"Peter Dennis? Because there's no chance of confusion with | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
"the other Peter Dennis, who is about to retire, etc." | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
And they wrote back and said, "Under normal circumstances, that | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
"would be absolutely fine, but the problem is that the other | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
"Peter Dennis is the chairman of the Equity Name Change Committee." | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
So you don't see yourself as a one-syllable name, really? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
God, no. No, no, no. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
What's your partner's name? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
My partner moved to Japan this morning, so... | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
What was his name? ..I think we broke up. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Are you serious? You think you broke up this morning? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
I think so, cos he just moved to... You THINK so? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
Wow. Lee, Lee, move on. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Did he have a one-syllable name? No, his name's Alex. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Alex. Yeah. Ah, lovely Alex. Or, as you'll now call him, Al. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
Or Ex. APPLAUSE | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Nice. That's good. I'm very good. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Can I ask a question? So, you live by this rule, but have you | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
ever thought about the psychology, what's going on here? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
I have thought it through. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
I think that dim parents just have dim children. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Can I just say, both my parents had one-syllable names. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
This is all starting to stack up. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
So, what do you think, Lee? Is she telling the truth, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
or has she made this all up? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Under normal circumstances, I would say, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
"She's just saying any old rubbish," | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
but she's under a lot of stress at the moment, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
because she broke up with someone. Not like last week, or a couple... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
This morning. This morning. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
That's added a new little energy to the room, hasn't it? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Well, you know, if it is her main motto, and I'm sorry to hear that | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
Alex has gone, but he's got two syllables, so it doesn't really | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
work, does it? Because obviously he IS dim, leaving you. Aww! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
That was quite good. Oh, thank you. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
So, you think it's a lie? Yeah, I tend to think that, yeah. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
And you think...? I think it's a lie. We'd better go lie, then. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
You're going to say lie? I hope it's a lie. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
OK. Katherine, was it the truth, or were you telling a lie? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
It was a lie. I lied about it all! APPLAUSE | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Yes, it's a lie. Katherine doesn't go by the motto, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
"Never give a child a one-syllable name." Warwick, you're next. Ah. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
A possession. Ah. There will be a box under your desk. There is. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Put the object that's in the box on the desk first, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
and then read the card, please. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
This is the bottle of hand gel I use to wash my hands before I | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
handle my main bottle of hand gel. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
David's team. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
I think we can see the reasoning behind that. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
So, explain your process. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
In this day and age, you have to be very conscious of germs. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
And I meet a lot of people and have to shake their hands, and some | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
of them, you know... Are diseased. ..potentially a bit unsavoury. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
I will have a bottle of hand gel, cleanse my hands, then I can | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
get the other bottle of hand gel now, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
the outside of which is not contaminated. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
So the second bottle remains pure the whole time? Very pure, yeah. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
But if you take the bottle in the hand you didn't shake | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
the person's hand with... Yes, yeah. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
..so that hand is clean, all you need to do is just | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
pour it on both hands. You'll have no problem. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Yeah, you make it sound so easy. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
I'll tell you how all this started, and I think there is some sort of... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
It started when you picked up that box and opened it. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
There is some sort of trauma that I've got, and it was from | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
a time being in a gents' toilet... Don't. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
And what happened was... I have trouble reaching things in | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
the toilets, you see, and on one occasion I went for... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
What are you trying to reach for? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
No wonder you need this stuff. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
This is how it developed. I squirted some of the cream soap on, right? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
LEE SNORTS On the wall, OK? | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
But it was only then I realised I couldn't reach the tap. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
From that moment on, I pack a couple of bottles of hand gel. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
How soon after meeting us...? We were all here about tea-time today, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
weren't we? You came in with a lovely... "Great to see you again." | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
Everyone was shaking hands. How soon after that did you | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
scurry away, reach into your pockets, and furiously...? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
How long...? What's the gap? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Well, it's just whenever I would get a quiet opportunity. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
I don't think this is the truth, because I've had several | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
interactions with Warwick Davis, and I don't think that this is | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
something I would have missed. He certainly didn't do it after... | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
IMMEDIATELY after I shook hands with him. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
No. If he does it, he's subtle. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
You have to be, don't you? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
I mean, I can't be seen to be going, "Hello!" | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
You know, because that's rude, isn't it? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
And it's not just "Hello, mmm." | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
It's "Hello, mmm, mmm." | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
You know how you can do it? If I'm sitting at a table | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
and I meet somebody, I can do it down here. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
That's worse. APPLAUSE | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
That's definitely worse. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
OK, it's time to take a guess. What are you going to say? It's a lie. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
It's a lie? Lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. You're saying it's a lie. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Warwick, was it the truth, or was it a lie? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
It was... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
a lie. APPLAUSE | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Yes, it's a lie. That isn't the hand gel that Warwick uses before | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
his main bottle of hand gel. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
John, you're next. OK. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
I once crawled through passport control on my hands and knees | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
because I'd forgotten to pack my passport. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Lee's team. Where was this? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
Er, Brussels. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
On the way in, or on the way out? On the way out. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Oh, it's horrible when Brussels are on the way out. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
So how...? When did you start the crawl? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
There was a passport official, sitting there, at this high desk, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
reading an adult magazine. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Whoa, whoa, hang on, stop. Stop. Let's get that image, first of all. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
The man is at passport control, and he's reading a girlie magazine? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
First of all, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
why does he think he's allowed to do this and get away with it? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
Well, it was 9:30 at night. I suppose he thought he'd had | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
the last passenger through. He, erm... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
You honestly want us to believe that everyone's going through, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
and he's, er... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
When did you realise you didn't have your passport? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
When I saw the desk, cos I put my hand in my pocket, and I realised | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
I'd left it in my wife's car when she'd dropped me off at the airport. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:45 | |
And how far would you say, approximately, the crawl was? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Shall I show you? Please do, yes. OK. That would be even better. OK. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
Now, also, I get to look at all the, erm... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
So he couldn't see me from behind. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Right. OK? That was the title of the magazine, was it? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
I see he's looking at the magazine, I see he's not looking at me. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
OK, so then you...? So I got up, and about here... Yeah? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
I got down on my knees and I crawled along here | 0:12:17 | 0:12:23 | |
in front of him. The desk was much higher. OK. Much higher. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
It was about.. Like that. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
I think, actually, Rob, in your case, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
you'd better stand on the chair. APPLAUSE | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
I would not put up with that. I would not put up with that. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
I don't mind it from him, but from an educated man like you... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
And so here... | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Whoa! Oh, hello. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Not on there, Rob! Don't stand on the desk, you fool. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
No, the desk is made out of papier mache. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
Quite heroic, isn't it? It is. Magnificent. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
OK. Now... APPLAUSE | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
OK. The desk is up to there. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
And I came along like this, only on my hands and knees. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
Yeah, go on, keep going. And then I carried on a bit. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
And then I ran like the clappers! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
Just stay... Just stay there a minute. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
Just in case I ever forget my passport. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
Do you want a hand getting down, Rob? | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
I'm all right. You're all right. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
So, what are you thinking? It's pretty ridiculous, isn't it? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
Actually, I think it's true. Oh, really? I'm going to go with true. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
So, Warwick says it's a lie, Hugh says it's true. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
I will say it's true. OK, John. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
Truth or lie? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
Well, it's in fact completely true. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Oh! APPLAUSE | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
Our next round is called This Is My..., where we bring on | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
a mystery guest who has a close connection to one of our panellists. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
This week, each of Lee's team will claim it's them that has the | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
genuine connection to the guest, and it's up to David's team | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
to spot who's telling the truth. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
So, please welcome this week's special guest, Michael. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
So, Hugh, what is Michael to you? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
This is Michael. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
He once tried to sell the remains of my lunch for ?100. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
Warwick, how do you know Michael? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
This is my neighbour, Michael, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
and I first met him when his shot put came over my garden fence. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
Finally, Lee, what's your relationship with Michael? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
This is Michael, and last summer, I threw his phone in a boating lake. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
So, there we have it. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
Is Michael Hugh's snack seller, Warwick's shot put slinger, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
or Lee's phoneless friend? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
David's team, where do you want to start? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Well, shall we start with Hugh? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
What was this lunch, and where were you having it? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
It was in a cafe in Cornwall... Oh, right. ..that Michael used to run. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:20 | |
And I had a... Well, I had a sandwich, I think. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
Now, I knew nothing about this selling of my lunch | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
until much later. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
I was told by a friend that, in fact, what had happened was that | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Michael had set up this thing in the cafe, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
called The Museum Of Celebrity Leftovers. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
Sounds like the name of this show. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
As far as I remember, there was this sort of little jar... | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
A jar? ..with the leftover of the particular person. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
Sort of like a specimen bottle. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
It wasn't like a proper leftover? It was just, essentially, crumbs? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
It was crumbs, then put into a glass... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
It wasn't just me. It was various celebrities. Various... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Who were the other celebrities that featured? Yeah. Jan Leeming. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
I'll tell you what - at the moment, you are the best. Yeah. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Michael Winner, I think, was there. Oh, right. And... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
..Prince Charles. Whoa! Prince Charles? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
Do you know what Prince Charles had left? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
I think it was bread and butter pudding. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
How much did it go for, in the end? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
I don't know. Surely you know how much your own memorabilia...? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
The only bit of memorabilia I do know about was that, on eBay, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
my autograph - ?1.35. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
On a ?5 note, yes, yes. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
Who would you like to ask next? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
So, Warwick, Michael is your next-door neighbour? Yes. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
What does Michael do for a living | 0:17:06 | 0:17:07 | |
that he can afford to live next to you? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
He's a very successful businessman. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
And so the shot put is just a hobby for him? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
Well, it was something he used to do in his younger days. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
He was in the army, and they used to have a sporting event, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
and the shot put was his particular speciality. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
So, if he... Describe the incident. OK. Erm... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
I've got quite a large garden. I was having a walk round. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
I was on a two-day expedition. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
And I just heard a sort of thudding sound, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
and you could almost feel the ground vibrate a little bit. Mm-hm. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
And I thought, "What on earth was that?", | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
and looked around, and behind me was | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
what I thought at the time was a cannonball. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
It had made a big divot in my lawn. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
You thought you were under fire from a medieval army. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Yeah, well, I didn't know what had happened, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
and your instinct is to look up, you know? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
I don't know what I was expecting to see, but I looked around, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
and then I heard this little voice go, "Sorry!" | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
And I looked towards the fence, and Michael was looking over... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
If you'd had any sense, you'd have got it next to your head, | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
laid down like that. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
Where there's blame, there's a claim. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
May I approach Michael? You may approach Michael. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
OK, so, like... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
One of my many talents is that I can spot wealth in a man. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
And yet, when I do this to women... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
So, from your inspection, Katherine, do you think that Michael is | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
sufficiently affluent to live next door to Warwick? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Where do you think Warwick lives? In Graceland, or somewhere? | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
He's been in a few films! With no disrespect... | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
I doubt it's like Simon Cowell's house. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
APPLAUSE What about Lee? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Erm, Lee. Yes. You threw Michael's phone in a lake. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
See? He agrees. It's the truth. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Why did you throw his phone in a lake? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Because I was trying to give him his phone back. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
And he was in a boat, on the lake? No. I was in the boat. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
Do you know Michael? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
No. How did you know it was his phone? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
Because he was shouting at me from the bank. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Not the ba... I don't mean he was drawing money out, I mean the side. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
He was saying, "Throw me my phone across the water," to somebody | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
he'd never seen before, and whose throwing qualities he didn't know? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
No. This is what I heard at the time. "'Scuse me!" | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
DISTANTLY: "My te... in your boat." | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
"What?" He said, "I think I...tele...in your boat." | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
"Here, mate, you're miles away." And he said, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
"My telephone is in your boat!" | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
And I thought, "That's an unusual way to talk," | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
cos I was shaking his hand at the time. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Eventually, I worked out he was saying, "My phone is in your boat." | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
So, I sort of look around and, sure enough, under my seat was a phone. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Well, why didn't he just wait until you reached the shore? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
Which is what he wanted to do. What he wanted to happen. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
But I, being a bit more confident in my throwing abilities | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
than I should be, thought, "Well, I'll row towards him a bit." | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
And I went like that, and I just did the worst throw I've ever done. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
And it just went straight into the water. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Do you know Michael's surname? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
I don't, no. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
How did you get on to him to invite him onto the programme? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Oh, I think you'll find that I don't deal with the admin. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
But it seems to me not absolutely impossible that the admin | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
people would have said, "That's an interesting story, Lee." Yes. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
"What's Michael's other name, so that we can get in touch with him?" | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Well, you haven't heard the rest of the story, have you? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Cos I felt guilty, and so I decided to buy him a new phone. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
And so I said, "Give me your number," | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
cos obviously, his home number, "and I will phone you when I've | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
"got the other phone for you, and I'll deliver it." | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
So when the people working on this show heard the story and said, | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
"Cor, blimey, that's quite fascinating. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
"I don't suppose you know his surname, do you?" | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
I said, "I don't, but I've got his number, right here." | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
They said, "Great. Chuck it over." Well, I threw it... | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
APPLAUSE It went straight out the window. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Landed in a puddle. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
We need an answer. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
So, David's team, is Michael Hugh's snack seller, | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Warwick's shot put slinger, or Lee's phoneless friend? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
Well, Hugh's story... | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
I don't think Hugh was even trying to make his story that believable. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
No. And so there's a chance that it's a fiendish double-bluff, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
and that means it's true. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
I love the idea of a celebrity leftover museum. But it sounds... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
What, do you? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
I've been to Cornwall, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
and it sounds like it could be quite an attraction. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
Erm... Warwick's story, that could be true. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Michael, he looks like a shot putter. Mm-hm. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
I mean, he wouldn't put it over somebody else's fence, would he? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
So what are you saying? You think it's LEE? Well... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
Katherine, which way are you leaning? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
I feel like the shot put story is real, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
and that is because Warwick looked up to Michael a lot. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
I feel like they have a certain intimacy. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
Then again, it could be on the boating lake, the phone mishap. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
It is. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
I feel like a more likely admin story as to why Michael is here, | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
after Lee throwing his phone off the boat, | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
is perhaps Michael got on social media, and was like, | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
"Lee Mack threw my phone into a lake," | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
and the show reached out that way. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
I don't want to stereotype, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
but to me, Michael looks more like someone who threw a shot put in the | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
army a few years ago, than someone who's massive on social media. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:21 | |
Yes. APPLAUSE | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
So, what's it going to be? We're going to go with Warwick. Warwick. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
OK. Michael, would you please reveal your true identity? | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
My name is Michael, and I did try to sell the remains of a lunch. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:40 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Thank you very much, Michael. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Which brings us to our final round, Quick-Fire Lies, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
and we start with... | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
It's David. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
Last summer, I lost a tennis match when | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
a bee buzzed up the leg of my shorts at a crucial moment. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:13 | |
Lee's team. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Right. What was the crucial moment? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Match point. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
What was the score at that point, in sets? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
I'll be honest - we only played one set. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
And what was the score in games at that point? | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
At that point? Yes. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
The score in games... | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
I think you know what I'm asking you, David. ..was 5-4. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
To you? 3, 2, 1, I'm going to tell you... | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
It was 5-4. To you. No, no, I lost. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
Oh, I see, at a crucial point. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Right, so, did this bee sting you, or did he come in, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
have a quick shufti, and exit? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
A shufti and exit. Did it exit out the other leg? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
No. Or was anything blocking his passage? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
Do you play regularly? I don't really, no. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
I used to play more regularly, but now I play... | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
What standard would you say you are? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
If zero is someone that's never played ever, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
and ten is Boris Becker, what are you? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
What's one? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:22 | |
Tim Henman. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Well, in which case, I'm probably a 0.3. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
Would you give us a demonstration of your serve technique? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Oh, yes, that... | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
It would be lovely, I think, for Lee and his team if they had an idea. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
They look at this serve, they say, "Well, there's a guy | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
"who wouldn't be bamboozled by a bumble," or maybe "he would." | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
All right. I have to say, I think this is totally pointless. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
But I'll do it. Shall we say...? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
I like a man who joins in with the fun. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
I'm so sorry, this is just a waste of your time. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
This is the racquet, in my right hand. David, why don't...? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
I'm so sorry, I... | 0:26:07 | 0:26:08 | |
Rob... OK, caught it. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
Ready? Are you going to actually...? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
You're not going to fire it at me, are you? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
No, I'll... Aim it over there. I'll zing it down that way. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Please do, yeah. OK. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Well, it's a bit... Bit tepid, David. Whoa, whoa, whoa. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
That's barely even over the net. You don't believe I serve like that? No. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
I want to see your feet off the ground, and put some... | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
I want to see you grunting. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
Oh, hang on! Wait a minute! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
Haven't got a ball, have you? It went over there. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
All right, ready? Right, go on, then. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
I'm going to grunt. Go for it. I'm going to put my back into this. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Go on, then. I'm going to show I want it. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
What you doing that with your hand for? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
You trying to get rid of the bees? | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
I'm bouncing the ball. Looks like you're congratulating a small child. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
"Well done, son. You did very well." | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
OK, and... BZZZZ! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
GRUNTS EXCESSIVELY APPLAUSE | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
That was lovely, thank you. That was lovely. That was... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
That was more than we could ever have hoped for. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Thank you. What do you think? | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
He doesn't look like a tennis player. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
He probably has picked up a tennis racquet. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
I don't think he's claiming to be at county level. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
He doesn't look like he would be at any level. No. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
I just... I don't think... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
I think that's a lie. You think it's a lie. Yeah. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Warwick. I think it's a lie, cos he... | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
Maybe a bee flew up his shorts when he was having an ice cream, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
but he definitely wasn't... | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
That's the most belittling thing I've ever heard on this show. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
OK, we'll say it's a lie. OK. David. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
Was that the truth, or was it a lie? | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
It was a lie. APPLAUSE | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
BUZZER SOUNDS That noise signals time is up. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
It's the end of the show, and I can reveal that Lee's team | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
