Good evening, welcome to Would I Lie To You?,

0:00:220:00:25

the show where honesty is never the best policy.

0:00:250:00:28

On Lee Mack's team tonight, a legendary Shakespearean actor

0:00:280:00:31

who starred in Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing and King Lear,

0:00:310:00:36

though, of course, I know him best from Peppa Pig,

0:00:360:00:38

it's Brian Blessed.

0:00:380:00:39

APPLAUSE

0:00:390:00:42

And an actor whose first role was in the highly-rated Grange Hill.

0:00:420:00:47

I say highly-rated, it only got a satisfactory from Ofsted.

0:00:470:00:50

It's Kevin Bishop.

0:00:500:00:51

APPLAUSE

0:00:510:00:54

And on David Mitchell's team tonight,

0:00:540:00:57

young and good-looking, he's at least one of those things,

0:00:570:01:01

it's the young Josh Widdicombe.

0:01:010:01:02

APPLAUSE

0:01:020:01:06

And an historian and broadcaster who says she's into historical fashion.

0:01:060:01:11

So is David, but not intentionally.

0:01:110:01:14

It's Professor Kate Williams.

0:01:140:01:15

APPLAUSE

0:01:150:01:18

So we begin with Round One, Home Truths,

0:01:200:01:22

where our panellists each read out a statement

0:01:220:01:24

from the card in front of them.

0:01:240:01:25

To make things harder, they've never

0:01:250:01:27

seen the card before and they've no idea what they'll be faced with,

0:01:270:01:30

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

0:01:300:01:33

Josh is first up tonight. Josh, would you reveal all?

0:01:330:01:37

To keep fit every morning, I do just one press-up, one sit-up

0:01:380:01:43

and one star-jump.

0:01:430:01:45

LAUGHTER

0:01:450:01:47

-Lee's team.

-Well, it's clearly working.

0:01:470:01:49

LAUGHTER

0:01:490:01:52

Do you know what? I'm going to take that on face value. Thank you very much.

0:01:520:01:55

Why don't you do more? You can manage two of everything, surely.

0:01:550:01:59

-No, because it's in the bathroom every morning...

-Right.

0:01:590:02:02

..and I've never been very good at physical fitness. I don't enjoy it.

0:02:020:02:06

But what happened was I thought I'd start by doing one of each

0:02:060:02:09

and then I'll build up slowly but surely.

0:02:090:02:12

Do you press up on your fists or your hands?

0:02:120:02:16

Well, my hands, because I'm not insane.

0:02:160:02:18

-LAUGHTER

-On your hands?

0:02:180:02:19

-Do you do press-ups on your fists?

-Yes, yes, I can, yes.

0:02:190:02:22

I do about 50, 60, 70.

0:02:220:02:24

-There's no end to my talents.

-Oh, really?

0:02:240:02:26

-You mock, you know, what I do...

-That's right.

0:02:260:02:29

-..but...

-Yes.

0:02:290:02:31

..he does 60 press-ups, I do one.

0:02:310:02:33

Who's in the better shape?

0:02:330:02:35

-LAUGHTER

-Whoa!

0:02:350:02:37

He's climbed Everest. What have you ever done?

0:02:390:02:41

One sit-up, one press-up and one star-jump.

0:02:410:02:45

LAUGHTER

0:02:450:02:47

Could you demonstrate how you do it for us?

0:02:470:02:49

Why don't you pop yourself just there?

0:02:490:02:51

-All right, so...

-Do you go into this in a sort of giddy way

0:02:510:02:54

or do you warm up? Because I find...

0:02:540:02:56

-Do I warm up?

-You warm up...

0:02:560:02:58

I find, when I wake up in the morning,

0:02:580:03:00

it takes me a while before I reach my full potential.

0:03:000:03:03

I can't just go at it hammer and tongs.

0:03:030:03:06

I have to stretch a little bit,

0:03:060:03:08

make sure all the extremities are working.

0:03:080:03:09

This is another detail as to why I do it in the bathroom,

0:03:090:03:12

because I go for a shower, I take my boxer shorts off, which I sleep in,

0:03:120:03:16

so I normally do it in the...

0:03:160:03:17

-In the nude?

-In the altogether, yes.

-OK.

0:03:170:03:20

What order do you do them in?

0:03:200:03:22

Press-up, sit-up, star-jump.

0:03:220:03:23

-Well, you've got a system.

-Strength followed by cardio.

0:03:230:03:26

LAUGHTER

0:03:260:03:28

-Go on, do your press-up.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

0:03:280:03:30

-We've been ready for a while, Josh, to be honest with you.

-LAUGHTER

0:03:300:03:33

I'll be honest, normally I have my inhaler, so this is a gamble.

0:03:330:03:37

LAUGHTER

0:03:370:03:39

Are you this reticent at home in the morning?

0:03:430:03:45

No, but normally Lee Mack's not sat in the corner making jokes at me.

0:03:450:03:48

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm never there!

0:03:480:03:51

Never there.

0:03:510:03:52

I just want to make that absolutely clear.

0:03:520:03:54

Can I ask you a question Josh, sorry? Do you live with anybody?

0:03:540:03:57

Yeah, my girlfriend.

0:03:570:03:58

OK. That's not true, it's a lie.

0:03:580:04:01

LAUGHTER

0:04:010:04:04

So, walk in, close the door, walk across...

0:04:040:04:07

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You live with your girlfriend?

-Yeah.

0:04:070:04:09

Why do you need to close the door?

0:04:090:04:11

Oh, because, come on, how emasculating is my exercise routine?

0:04:110:04:14

I don't know, we haven't seen it yet.

0:04:140:04:16

I do think as well, Lee, it's very important

0:04:160:04:18

to keep mystery in a relationship if you want to maintain the magic.

0:04:180:04:23

If you parade in front of your partner without a second thought,

0:04:230:04:27

I think the magic can slowly diminish.

0:04:270:04:29

Yeah. Well, I'm lucky because my wife is blind.

0:04:290:04:31

I think she's the lucky one in that relationship.

0:04:310:04:34

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:340:04:37

All right. Right. Walk in, close the door, and then...

0:04:370:04:41

All right.

0:04:410:04:42

..straight down into the press-up.

0:04:420:04:45

-One.

-Round.

-Ooh!

0:04:450:04:46

Into the sit-up.

0:04:470:04:49

LAUGHTER

0:04:490:04:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:500:04:53

Do you remember, back in the day, in the Rocky movies,

0:04:570:05:00

the training montages?

0:05:000:05:01

-Yeah.

-That's what's coming back for me when I watch that.

0:05:010:05:04

-Have you been doing this for long?

-Three months.

0:05:040:05:07

You seemed to be struggling a bit on the sit-up.

0:05:070:05:09

I'm not going to lie to you...

0:05:110:05:12

I'm not going to lie to you...

0:05:120:05:14

By the way, you may have to at some point...

0:05:140:05:16

LAUGHTER

0:05:160:05:19

There's a ridge under the bath that I can normally stick my toes under,

0:05:190:05:22

so I use that to...

0:05:220:05:23

Oh, so you even cheat for your one sit-up?

0:05:230:05:25

LAUGHTER

0:05:250:05:27

-Brian, does it ring true?

-I, well, it does to a certain extent.

0:05:270:05:30

I mean, cos I sleep naked...

0:05:300:05:32

Er...

0:05:320:05:33

-You what?

-..as nature intended.

0:05:330:05:35

And I've got lots of animals.

0:05:350:05:37

I have a Jack Russell female that absolutely adores me

0:05:370:05:40

and she sleeps between my legs and...

0:05:400:05:42

LAUGHTER

0:05:420:05:44

..and she wakes me up by scratching my privates.

0:05:440:05:46

-Yes.

-Can I just check,

0:05:460:05:48

have I had a blackout and we're talking about something else?

0:05:480:05:50

LAUGHTER

0:05:500:05:52

So, Brian thinks it rings true.

0:05:520:05:54

-Kevin, what do you make of it?

-I think it's silly...

0:05:540:05:57

But it's working. You've got to see that it's working.

0:05:570:05:59

I think it might be true.

0:05:590:06:00

-Well, I have to go with my team and say true, then.

-Wow. OK, true.

0:06:000:06:04

Josh - truth or is it a lie?

0:06:040:06:06

It is...a lie.

0:06:060:06:08

APPLAUSE

0:06:080:06:11

Yes, it's a lie.

0:06:110:06:13

Josh doesn't do one press-up,

0:06:130:06:15

one sit-up and one star-jump every morning.

0:06:150:06:18

Brian, it's your turn.

0:06:180:06:20

While searching for a mythical beast in the jungle,

0:06:200:06:24

my boat was skippered by an orang-utan.

0:06:240:06:28

LAUGHTER

0:06:280:06:30

Well, we've had this one before.

0:06:320:06:34

LAUGHTER

0:06:340:06:36

Yes, yes, I'll make it easier. It was a canoe...

0:06:360:06:39

-Right.

-I was paddling a canoe.

0:06:390:06:41

I wasn't imaging one of those big cruise ships.

0:06:410:06:44

-No, not a big ship.

-Oh, I was.

0:06:440:06:45

I went as a guest of the Viceroy of Malaysia

0:06:450:06:50

and we were there specifically to hunt for Orang Pendek,

0:06:500:06:54

upright man...

0:06:540:06:55

-Can I just stop you?

-..which is a...

-Nope?

-..kind of yeti, and...

0:06:550:06:58

LAUGHTER

0:06:580:06:59

..we got into the canoe and there's a canoe there and this orang-utan,

0:06:590:07:03

they always loved me because I look like a gorilla.

0:07:030:07:05

I got in it and it rowed and it rowed

0:07:050:07:08

and I made noises at it.

0:07:080:07:10

I actually developed the noise

0:07:100:07:12

for the king of the Gungans in Star Wars.

0:07:120:07:15

I played Boss Nass. And when the Jedi wanted me to help them...

0:07:150:07:19

-Sorry, can I...?

-..they all kneeled in front of me...

0:07:190:07:21

-Can I...?

-..I stepped in front and went...

0:07:210:07:23

No. Brian. So...

0:07:230:07:25

And this... When I did that to the orang-utan, it went...

0:07:250:07:28

MAKES FARTING NOISE

0:07:280:07:31

OK, so let me clarify, you're in search of a mythical beast

0:07:310:07:35

-and you arrive in Malaysia...

-Yeah.

-..and you come across a river,

0:07:350:07:38

-you get into a canoe, the canoe... At the oars...

-That's right.

0:07:380:07:41

-..of the canoe is already an orang-utan.

-That's right.

0:07:410:07:43

-He starts rowing.

-That's right.

0:07:430:07:45

You give directions to the orang-utan using noises

0:07:450:07:48

later to be employed in a major sci-fi franchise.

0:07:480:07:51

Absolutely right!

0:07:510:07:53

-Yeah, um...

-How far did the orang-utan take you?

0:07:530:07:55

Oh, about ten, 15, 20 miles.

0:07:550:07:57

-Oh?

-Very upright body.

-Did you feed him?

0:07:570:08:00

And at the end of the journey, when we got off the bank,

0:08:000:08:02

he gave me a wonderful big deep-throated kiss.

0:08:020:08:06

I would like to pause the proceedings

0:08:060:08:08

and have a word with my client.

0:08:080:08:10

LAUGHTER

0:08:100:08:13

We would like to change our plea.

0:08:130:08:15

LAUGHTER

0:08:150:08:16

-Insanity.

-And he loved it when I...

0:08:160:08:18

LAUGHTER

0:08:180:08:20

-He loved it when I belched.

-Let me ask this.

0:08:200:08:23

The orang-utan, was he paddling with an oar?

0:08:230:08:26

-Yes, that's right.

-Or was he paddling with his large hands?

0:08:260:08:30

He was paddling like an Olympic rower.

0:08:300:08:33

-Oh, no, come on!

-Yes!

0:08:330:08:35

LAUGHTER

0:08:350:08:36

So, David, what is your team thinking about Brian's...story?

0:08:360:08:42

-Kate, do you think it's true?

-Well, I liked the detail,

0:08:420:08:44

but I'm concerned about the distance the orang-utan succeeded in.

0:08:440:08:47

Had it been just five metres, I could've believed it, but all that way?

0:08:470:08:50

I think it would have the upper-body strength,

0:08:500:08:52

but would an orang-utan see the point...

0:08:520:08:54

LAUGHTER

0:08:540:08:56

..of rowing strangers 20 miles?

0:08:560:08:58

Do you know, the only thing I don't buy is that.

0:08:580:09:02

Well, I once heard a podcast in which someone described a chimpanzee

0:09:040:09:09

making a gin and tonic.

0:09:090:09:11

Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Sorry, David, you have won me round(!)

0:09:110:09:15

-Yeah, yeah.

-So you're saying it's true?

0:09:150:09:17

Yep, it's true, yeah, yeah.

0:09:170:09:18

Brian Blessed, was that the truth or was it a lie?

0:09:180:09:22

True.

0:09:220:09:23

APPLAUSE

0:09:230:09:26

Well played.

0:09:260:09:27

Yes, it's true. Brian's boat was skippered by an orang-utan.

0:09:290:09:32

Kevin, you're next.

0:09:320:09:34

Right.

0:09:340:09:36

I once found my postman's finger.

0:09:360:09:39

LAUGHTER

0:09:390:09:41

OK. Erm...where?

0:09:430:09:45

On the floor, in my hallway.

0:09:470:09:49

On the floor, in your hallway?

0:09:490:09:50

It had been sliced off by the letterbox?

0:09:500:09:53

Sliced off by the letterbox?!

0:09:530:09:54

-He was posting a letter...

-No(!)

-..through my letterbox

0:09:540:09:57

on a Saturday morning, and...

0:09:570:09:59

That doesn't sound very likely.

0:09:590:10:01

LAUGHTER

0:10:010:10:03

..and we suddenly saw a postman

0:10:030:10:07

up against the window with a finger missing.

0:10:070:10:11

LAUGHTER

0:10:110:10:12

He was banging on the window, screaming for help.

0:10:120:10:14

And when we went to answer the door the finger was just there.

0:10:140:10:18

It was completely off.

0:10:180:10:20

-From where? From halfway?

-From his hand.

0:10:200:10:22

I know from his hand, I mean... from whereabouts on the finger?

0:10:220:10:25

From the top knuckle.

0:10:250:10:26

You can stick it back on, can't you,

0:10:260:10:29

-and tape it and things like that?

-Yeah, yeah, we, um...

0:10:290:10:31

Before the hospital comes along, the doctor.

0:10:310:10:33

We put it in ice. And he took it to the hospital with him,

0:10:330:10:36

-and they stitched it back on, apparently.

-And did it still move?

0:10:360:10:39

I don't know, I've not seen him since.

0:10:390:10:41

LAUGHTER

0:10:410:10:42

Had you previously noticed quite how

0:10:420:10:45

vicious the action on your letterbox was?

0:10:450:10:48

Well, I've never posted a letter in my own letterbox. Why would I do that?

0:10:480:10:51

Oh, you've had to pull a bulky one through, we all have. And I have...

0:10:510:10:56

LAUGHTER

0:10:560:11:00

What I bet happened is it came down on him and he recoiled in terror,

0:11:030:11:07

something I'm sure that Brian could act with great...

0:11:070:11:09

Imagine, Brian, you put your finger in, you've got it caught.

0:11:090:11:12

-How would you recoil?

-I'd go...

0:11:120:11:14

Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!

0:11:140:11:18

-Something like that.

-Yes, yes.

0:11:180:11:20

That sort of thing, yes.

0:11:200:11:22

APPLAUSE

0:11:220:11:25

-Was it harrowing? Like, I'd find...

-For him, yeah.

0:11:250:11:28

-For him?

-It must have been quite harrowing for you.

0:11:280:11:31

-Yes, it was.

-How old were you?

-I was, um...about ten.

0:11:310:11:34

And who phoned 999 and said...

0:11:340:11:36

-Not the postman.

-.."I've got the postman's finger"?

0:11:360:11:38

LAUGHTER

0:11:380:11:41

I mean, let's be practical, you could use your other hand.

0:11:440:11:47

LAUGHTER

0:11:470:11:50

-So, David, what do you think?

-Um, do you think it's true?

0:11:500:11:52

I don't. I think it would've been more kind of affecting.

0:11:520:11:56

I think Kevin's a bit laissez faire with something

0:11:560:11:58

that would've maybe stuck...

0:11:580:11:59

He wouldn't be able to tell a story like this yet, cos...

0:11:590:12:03

-Cos it'd be so traumatic.

-Yeah.

0:12:030:12:04

In fact, whenever anyone beckoned to him, he'd scream.

0:12:040:12:08

LAUGHTER

0:12:080:12:09

Do you beckon TO someone?

0:12:090:12:11

Or do you beckon someone?

0:12:110:12:13

Probably beckon. You're right, I've wasted a preposition.

0:12:130:12:16

LAUGHTER

0:12:160:12:18

-So, what do you say - truth or lie?

-Yeah.

-I don't want it to be true,

0:12:180:12:21

because if it is true for Kevin's postman,

0:12:210:12:25

it could be true for ours, because...

0:12:250:12:27

-Suddenly it explains all those fingers on the doormat.

-Yeah.

0:12:270:12:30

I think it's not true.

0:12:300:12:32

I think the ice is too convenient and it...

0:12:320:12:35

I don't know what I mean by that!

0:12:350:12:37

APPLAUSE

0:12:370:12:39

-We're going to say it's not true.

-So it's a lie, then?

-Yeah.

0:12:390:12:41

Kevin Bishop, the truth or a lie?

0:12:410:12:44

It is in fact...

0:12:440:12:45

true.

0:12:450:12:46

-O-o-o-o-o-oh!

-APPLAUSE

0:12:460:12:48

Our next round is called This Is My, where we bring on a mystery guest,

0:12:510:12:54

who has a close connection to one of our panellists.

0:12:540:12:56

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

0:12:560:12:59

who has the genuine connection to the guest

0:12:590:13:01

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

0:13:010:13:04

So please welcome this week's special guests,

0:13:040:13:07

Jenna, Thomas and Joanna.

0:13:070:13:10

APPLAUSE

0:13:100:13:14

So...

0:13:180:13:19

Kate, first of all. What are they to you?

0:13:190:13:22

This is Jenna, Thomas and Joanna and they let me sleep in their tent

0:13:220:13:26

-in Glastonbury when I couldn't find mine.

-OK.

0:13:260:13:29

-Josh, how do you know them?

-This is Jenna, Thomas and Joanna

0:13:290:13:33

-and together we made up my entire school year.

-Right.

0:13:330:13:37

David, what is your connection?

0:13:370:13:40

This is Jenna, Thomas and Joanna

0:13:400:13:43

and I nudged them into a canal

0:13:430:13:46

when I lost control of my Boris bike.

0:13:460:13:50

LAUGHTER

0:13:500:13:52

So, there we have it.

0:13:540:13:56

Are they Kate's festival friends, Josh's school chums,

0:13:560:14:00

or David's bike buddies?

0:14:000:14:02

-Lee's team.

-Josh, when you say,

0:14:020:14:04

between the four of you, you made up your school year,

0:14:040:14:07

do you mean it didn't exist?

0:14:070:14:09

My entire year was us four.

0:14:090:14:12

I'm looking at faces now to see if they look an equal age. Now...

0:14:120:14:15

Well, yeah, I suppose... Do you think they look an equal age?

0:14:150:14:17

Yeah, they do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's convincing.

0:14:170:14:19

-OK, that bit of the story we believe.

-Yes.

0:14:190:14:21

They look a lot younger than Josh, it has to be said.

0:14:210:14:24

Well, you know, they're probably doing three to four press-ups a day.

0:14:240:14:28

LAUGHTER

0:14:280:14:29

-What's...

-Between them or...?

0:14:290:14:31

LAUGHTER

0:14:310:14:32

-What year was this?

-1987...

-Yeah.

-..to 1994.

0:14:320:14:36

I would've been four to 11.

0:14:360:14:38

-Where was it? Where were you at school?

-Devon.

0:14:380:14:41

-Where in Devon?

-On Dartmoor.

0:14:410:14:42

-How many kids were in the other years?

-Oh, well, ours was the smallest.

0:14:420:14:45

-You don't say(?)

-Yeah.

0:14:450:14:47

-So the one below was six...

-Right.

0:14:470:14:49

I think it actually started to get bigger,

0:14:490:14:50

cos the school got more popular, so by the time I was leaving,

0:14:500:14:53

you were looking at eight or nines.

0:14:530:14:55

-Right.

-That's ridiculous.

0:14:550:14:56

How does a child get any attention with that sort of class size?

0:14:560:14:59

LAUGHTER

0:14:590:15:02

-Have you stayed in contact with them?

-Uh...

0:15:020:15:04

I haven't stayed in contact with Jenna and Joanna.

0:15:040:15:07

-Why?

-Why?

0:15:070:15:08

LAUGHTER

0:15:080:15:10

Hang on, let's test him on this. Which one is Thomas?

0:15:100:15:13

LAUGHTER

0:15:130:15:16

Thomas is in the middle.

0:15:170:15:19

And I've seen him a couple of times because his brother is married to my sister.

0:15:190:15:22

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:15:220:15:24

And they talk about the Welsh, don't they?

0:15:240:15:26

LAUGHTER

0:15:260:15:28

If this was the size of your year,

0:15:280:15:29

what happened when you got to the Nativity play or the summer concert?

0:15:290:15:33

The summer concert?

0:15:330:15:34

LAUGHTER

0:15:340:15:36

Or the garden party, or the...?

0:15:360:15:38

When you troop the colour, how did you do that?

0:15:380:15:40

LAUGHTER

0:15:400:15:42

Well, it wasn't just a class of four,

0:15:420:15:45

we were taught four years together.

0:15:450:15:47

Oh, so four fours...12.

0:15:470:15:50

-16.

-16!

0:15:500:15:51

LAUGHTER

0:15:510:15:53

And that's the benefit of the smaller class size, isn't it?

0:15:530:15:56

LAUGHTER

0:15:560:15:58

-Is it still as small?

-I don't still go.

0:15:580:16:01

No, but you must know. You must know.

0:16:010:16:03

It'd be frowned upon if I hung outside, counting the children.

0:16:030:16:07

LAUGHTER

0:16:070:16:09

I'm interested to know what the system was at lunchtime.

0:16:090:16:12

Was it packed lunches or did they provide something hot?

0:16:120:16:16

Obviously, because there was only, what, 40 children in our school,

0:16:160:16:19

there was no need to cook school dinners on-site.

0:16:190:16:23

So you went to a restaurant? What are you talking about?

0:16:230:16:25

LAUGHTER

0:16:250:16:26

So we went to Wagamama's. No, um...

0:16:260:16:28

LAUGHTER

0:16:280:16:30

So, what would happen, cos obviously most of us were packed, so, um...

0:16:300:16:34

LAUGHTER

0:16:340:16:36

You've got a very high opinion of yourself.

0:16:360:16:38

LAUGHTER

0:16:380:16:39

So what would happen would be, when you were answering their register,

0:16:390:16:43

you wouldn't say, "Here". Instead you'd say "packed" or "dinners".

0:16:430:16:45

Then one of the children would tally up the amount of people that

0:16:450:16:49

say "dinners" and then they'd phone it through to the nearest school who would...

0:16:490:16:53

The nearest school is where you are.

0:16:530:16:55

-No, that's... To the next school.

-Oh, right.

0:16:550:16:57

Then they'd cook us the eight dinners and get them sent across.

0:16:570:17:00

So you were having supply dinners, essentially.

0:17:000:17:02

Yeah, we had a kind of meals on wheels deal with our dinners.

0:17:020:17:04

-Wow.

-All right, who would you like to quiz next?

0:17:040:17:07

-Uh, David.

-Yeah, David.

0:17:070:17:09

Uh...where were you cycling on your Boris bike?

0:17:090:17:12

The Regent's Canal in London.

0:17:120:17:15

Sort of from where I live towards...

0:17:150:17:18

-Eastwards towards Kings Cross.

-"Eastwards"?

0:17:180:17:21

Where were you going, Mordor?

0:17:210:17:23

LAUGHTER

0:17:230:17:25

-"I was travelling eastwards."

-Eastwards, yes, easterly.

0:17:250:17:28

-Easterly?!

-In an easterly direction.

0:17:280:17:29

"I'm off out." "Where you going?"

0:17:290:17:31

"Uh, I'm going eastwards."

0:17:310:17:33

APPLAUSE

0:17:330:17:35

"I'll see you later." "When are you back?" "Oh, I don't know."

0:17:350:17:37

"It depends what the westerly wind's like on the way back."

0:17:370:17:40

-Have you got a bay of Boris bikes near you?

-Not that near me.

0:17:400:17:44

I was hurrying somewhere and I was late...

0:17:440:17:47

-Where were you going?

-To a meeting.

0:17:470:17:49

-Were you wearing a helmet?

-I was not.

0:17:490:17:51

Right, so you were going to a meeting, you were in a rush.

0:17:510:17:54

How did you manage to knock three people in?

0:17:540:17:56

-It's ridiculous, isn't it?

-Were they stood dressed as dominoes?

0:17:560:17:59

LAUGHTER

0:17:590:18:00

No, they were sort of sitting on the edge of the canal.

0:18:000:18:03

I was... I'm not an experienced cyclist.

0:18:030:18:06

I'd only got the Boris bike because I was running so late.

0:18:060:18:11

Did you knock them in the river and you thought,

0:18:110:18:14

"Let's swap numbers and keep in touch"?

0:18:140:18:17

-That's exactly it, yes.

-LAUGHTER

0:18:170:18:20

-I thought that.

-So just talk us through it in a bit more detail.

0:18:200:18:23

Did you knock them off with your body?

0:18:230:18:25

Did you knock them off with the bike?

0:18:250:18:26

I'm cycling along the towpath - I'm late. My phone rings.

0:18:260:18:30

It's the people at the meeting, and I'm afraid I answer my phone...

0:18:300:18:34

-Oh.

-..on the towpath...

0:18:340:18:35

-Without a helmet.

-Helmetless.

-Oh, David.

0:18:350:18:37

You don't expect me to put a helmet on to answer my phone.

0:18:370:18:40

LAUGHTER

0:18:400:18:41

And when they went in, what did you then do?

0:18:410:18:43

-Well, they were out again as soon as they were in...

-Shallow.

0:18:430:18:46

It wasn't a very deep bit of the canal.

0:18:460:18:48

The deeper water is further out.

0:18:480:18:50

That's actually the title of my collection of poems.

0:18:500:18:53

LAUGHTER

0:18:530:18:56

-David?

-Yeah.

-If I was cycling at speed and I hit three people...

0:18:560:19:00

..I think I'd go over myself.

0:19:010:19:03

Wouldn't...? I think the momentum would take me off my bike.

0:19:030:19:08

Well, what can I tell you? Doesn't happen.

0:19:080:19:10

LAUGHTER

0:19:100:19:13

What about Kate? Do you have any questions, Brian, for Kate?

0:19:130:19:15

-Yes.

-Can you...?

-What did Kate say?

0:19:150:19:17

She couldn't find her tent at Glastonbury,

0:19:170:19:19

so these three reprobates, let's call them,

0:19:190:19:21

offered for her to sleep in their tent.

0:19:210:19:24

They're my knights in shining armour, they rescued me.

0:19:240:19:26

Do you know that I've just done the voiceover

0:19:260:19:29

-for all the loos at Glastonbury?

-Oh!

0:19:290:19:31

For the loos?!

0:19:310:19:32

What do you say? What is the voiceover?

0:19:320:19:35

"Are you enjoying your loo? Some people don't have any loo at all.

0:19:350:19:38

"All over the world they don't have a loo and you're privileged to have a loo."

0:19:380:19:42

I've just done a whole government thing for it.

0:19:420:19:44

I thought possibly you might have sat in one of these loos.

0:19:440:19:47

LAUGHTER

0:19:470:19:49

No, but I'm envisioning the thought of going into a loo

0:19:490:19:52

-and suddenly you popping into my ears.

-LAUGHTER

0:19:520:19:55

Can I just at this point...? Kevin, I know for fact,

0:19:550:19:58

can do a very, very good Brian Blessed impersonation.

0:19:580:20:02

-AS BRIAN:

-"I, no, I wouldn't, absolutely..."

0:20:020:20:04

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:040:20:08

"Are you sitting down?"

0:20:090:20:12

"Are you sitting comfortably?"

0:20:120:20:14

Oh, great, now I've got him in stereo.

0:20:140:20:16

LAUGHTER

0:20:160:20:19

-First of all, when was this?

-This was Glastonbury, 2011.

0:20:220:20:26

My boyfriend bought tickets for him and his brother,

0:20:260:20:28

and then I heard Beyonce was going to be there,

0:20:280:20:30

-so I said, "I'll come, too," so I could see the goddess...

-OK.

0:20:300:20:33

-..in person.

-So you've lost your tent...

0:20:330:20:36

So at one o'clock in the morning, I needed to go to the loo,

0:20:360:20:39

so I set off in search of the loos with my phone.

0:20:390:20:41

And because you'd gone to see Beyonce,

0:20:410:20:43

when you couldn't find your tent... There's a joke coming up.

0:20:430:20:46

..did you go, # Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,-uh-oh, uh-oh... # ?

0:20:460:20:49

SHE SINGS ALONG

0:20:490:20:50

Rob, Rob, Rob...

0:20:500:20:51

-No...

-You told us about some joke that was on its way.

0:20:510:20:55

LAUGHTER

0:20:550:20:57

APPLAUSE

0:20:570:21:01

So you come back and now you can't find your tent...

0:21:010:21:03

Well, I had a bit of a loo mission,

0:21:030:21:05

because the first set of loos were not clean,

0:21:050:21:07

and so I had to try and find some more, so I went...

0:21:070:21:09

Someone, said, "There's some more over there,"

0:21:090:21:12

and there were people sort of, you know, making new friends there,

0:21:120:21:17

so I didn't want to stay there.

0:21:170:21:19

LAUGHTER

0:21:190:21:22

This poor woman who was taking pity on me said,

0:21:220:21:24

"There's another over there," so I went to the other ones, and...

0:21:240:21:26

-This is like a quest.

-Yes.

-First set of loos, too dirty.

0:21:260:21:30

Second set of loos, too sexually compromised.

0:21:300:21:33

Set of loos number three...

0:21:330:21:35

This is the voiceover you want in the toilet, ladies and gentlemen.

0:21:350:21:38

"Don't forget this is for defecation, not sexual compromise."

0:21:380:21:41

LAUGHTER

0:21:410:21:44

Yes, I have the precise timbre to reverse arousal.

0:21:460:21:51

LAUGHTER

0:21:510:21:52

So you're going, you're crawling through the grass at Glastonbury...

0:21:520:21:55

-I found the third set. That was all fine.

-Good.

0:21:550:21:58

And then I thought, "OK, I'm going to walk back now."

0:21:580:22:01

But I just couldn't find my way.

0:22:010:22:03

How did they come about?

0:22:030:22:04

Well, I was wandering around and then I just thought,

0:22:040:22:06

"I'm going to have to throw myself on someone's mercy," so I...

0:22:060:22:09

I thought you were going to say "tent" then.

0:22:090:22:11

-I thought, "That's no way of doing it".

-Help me!"

0:22:110:22:13

Surely just knock on the flap first.

0:22:130:22:14

That's the voice you need in the toilet!

0:22:140:22:17

LAUGHTER

0:22:170:22:20

I just saw these three friendly people, and I thought,

0:22:200:22:23

"Maybe I'll just approach them," because I was getting desperate.

0:22:230:22:26

So I said, "Look, I'm completely lost," and they said they'd help.

0:22:260:22:29

"We'll help you find this first set of loos,"

0:22:290:22:31

-because if I found the first set, I can find my tent.

-I see.

0:22:310:22:34

So, they said, "Look, we could be going all night,

0:22:340:22:36

"this is really useless, let's just go and sleep in our tent."

0:22:360:22:39

What's the set-up with Thomas...

0:22:390:22:42

Jenna and Joanna? LAUGHTER

0:22:420:22:45

Well, this is a good point, Rob, because I did have that question...

0:22:450:22:48

-Did you hear that? Good point.

-Unlike the postman.

0:22:480:22:50

-Good point.

-I know, I got it.

0:22:500:22:52

I was wondering when the joke was coming.

0:22:520:22:56

Yeah. That's the problem with postal jokes,

0:22:560:22:58

it's always the next day when you get it.

0:22:580:23:00

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:23:000:23:04

All right. We need an answer.

0:23:040:23:06

So, Lee's team, are Jenna, Thomas and Joanna Kate's festival friends,

0:23:060:23:11

Josh's school chums, or David's bike buddies?

0:23:110:23:14

Do you think there's any truth in David's story?

0:23:140:23:17

No, none at all. None at all.

0:23:170:23:18

The whole escapade sounds like Toad Of Toad Hall with the bike,

0:23:180:23:21

the Boris bike going down the canal.

0:23:210:23:24

Regent's Canal, of course, that's near the zoo there,

0:23:240:23:27

where you get lots of orang-utans.

0:23:270:23:28

LAUGHTER

0:23:280:23:30

At the very least, it's unlikely.

0:23:300:23:32

Oh, it's definitely unlikely. I mean, it's worthy of anecdote.

0:23:320:23:36

I mean, no-one's going to come and say,

0:23:360:23:38

"These are three people I said hello to in the post office".

0:23:380:23:41

LAUGHTER

0:23:410:23:43

There's got to be an unlikeliness to it or it's not worth televising.

0:23:430:23:45

APPLAUSE

0:23:450:23:47

This is potentially worth televising.

0:23:470:23:50

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:23:500:23:52

I think it's Josh.

0:23:560:23:57

-Brian thinks it's Josh.

-Yeah.

-Kevin?

0:23:570:24:00

I also think it's Josh.

0:24:000:24:01

Is it the ages? Cos they do look very similar in age.

0:24:010:24:04

I have to say, Tom in the middle there, of the three,

0:24:040:24:07

looks like he's had a slightly harder life.

0:24:070:24:08

LAUGHTER

0:24:080:24:10

-We're going to go with Josh.

-You're going to say it's Josh.

0:24:100:24:13

On behalf of the three,

0:24:130:24:15

Joanna, would you reveal your true identities?

0:24:150:24:18

We are Joanna, Thomas and Jenna,

0:24:180:24:21

and together we make up the entire year of Josh's school.

0:24:210:24:23

APPLAUSE

0:24:230:24:27

It is. And here's the proof, we've got the school photo.

0:24:270:24:30

Have a look.

0:24:300:24:32

Thank you very much, Jenna, Thomas and Joanna.

0:24:330:24:35

APPLAUSE

0:24:350:24:39

Which brings us to our final round, Quickfire Lies, and we start with...

0:24:390:24:43

It's Lee.

0:24:440:24:46

Because it irritates me so much,

0:24:480:24:51

I'm always correcting people when they wrongly call fog "mist",

0:24:510:24:54

and mist "fog".

0:24:540:24:57

David.

0:24:570:24:59

Oh, right. What is the distinction, Lee, between mist and fog?

0:25:000:25:05

-Well, that is a very good question, David.

-Yeah.

0:25:050:25:07

LAUGHTER

0:25:070:25:11

Any others?

0:25:110:25:13

Mist is...

0:25:130:25:15

I used to live by the coast, we used to have a lot of sea fret.

0:25:150:25:19

-You know, sea fret.

-Nope. What's sea fret?

0:25:190:25:22

-Sea fret is like, it's a sort of mist...

-Right.

0:25:220:25:24

-..and it's produced by the sea.

-Fog-like, you might say.

0:25:240:25:27

That really irritates me, that, David.

0:25:270:25:30

APPLAUSE

0:25:300:25:32

There is a thing called sea fret. It is when the mist comes off the sea,

0:25:320:25:35

it's the water that comes off the sea, we used to have a lot of that.

0:25:350:25:38

I remember my mum said, "Oh, it's foggy again."

0:25:380:25:40

-And I killed her.

-LAUGHTER

0:25:400:25:43

I would say that was when it started.

0:25:430:25:45

I call that Day One.

0:25:450:25:47

-So here's a question maybe familiar to you, Lee...

-Yes.

0:25:470:25:50

What is the difference...between mist and fog?

0:25:500:25:54

-I'll tell you exactly the difference.

-Mm-hmm.

0:25:540:25:56

Mist comes from a very rainy day, which then becomes...

0:25:560:26:01

-Misty.

-..misty.

0:26:010:26:02

Whereas fog is where it's foggy.

0:26:020:26:06

APPLAUSE

0:26:060:26:09

Fog...fog comes from a drop in temperature.

0:26:090:26:12

If it's very cold suddenly.

0:26:120:26:14

There has to be a sudden temperature change for fog.

0:26:140:26:16

-How quick?

-Mist is the opposite and is often created by heat,

0:26:160:26:18

which causes water to evaporate and thus causing mist.

0:26:180:26:22

And be honest, you weren't expecting that, were you?

0:26:220:26:24

APPLAUSE

0:26:240:26:26

So fog is as a result of a sudden drop in temperature.

0:26:260:26:28

Mist is a result of evaporation caused by heat.

0:26:280:26:33

-Yeah.

-And can you tell to look at it,

0:26:330:26:36

or do you have to have known the meteorological back-story?

0:26:360:26:40

You can tell by looking at it. Mist is...

0:26:400:26:43

How can I describe it in layman's terms? Um...

0:26:430:26:45

Is mist thinner?

0:26:450:26:47

-Fog is on the floor, isn't it?

-Yeah, fog is denser.

0:26:470:26:49

Mist is a little... It's a bit easier to see someone in mist.

0:26:490:26:52

But how could you tell the difference between a light fog and a heavy mist?

0:26:520:26:55

LAUGHTER

0:26:550:26:58

You can tell the difference, in the same way as you can tell the difference between

0:26:580:27:02

a light fat person and a heavy thin person.

0:27:020:27:04

LAUGHTER

0:27:040:27:06

When was the last time you corrected someone on it?

0:27:060:27:09

The last foggy day we had.

0:27:090:27:11

Who was it that you corrected?

0:27:110:27:13

I corrected a sailor, actually.

0:27:130:27:15

-How did you find yourself to be with a sailor?

-I was on a fishing trip.

0:27:150:27:18

-On a fishing trip?

-On a fishing trip, just off the west coast of Scotland.

0:27:180:27:22

-What were you doing up there?

-Lost. It was from Brighton we left.

0:27:220:27:25

LAUGHTER

0:27:250:27:26

What do you feel about the Paul Gascoigne song Fog On The Tyne?

0:27:260:27:30

I felt worse when he took that penalty and he missed.

0:27:300:27:33

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:27:330:27:37

Why do you find people making this mistake between two phenomena that

0:27:400:27:43

do look pretty similar? Why do you...?

0:27:430:27:45

-They don't look similar.

-Yes, of course they look similar.

0:27:450:27:48

-No, they don't.

-It's like the air is difficult to look through.

0:27:480:27:51

What is it about the distinction between mist and fog

0:27:510:27:55

that makes it a particular bugbear of yours?

0:27:550:27:57

I think it's because of when I lost my Uncle Pete at sea...

0:27:570:28:00

LAUGHTER

0:28:000:28:03

So, what are you going to say then? Is it the truth?

0:28:050:28:07

-Lie.

-Lie?

-Lie. Lie, we think it's a lie.

-You're saying it's a lie. OK.

0:28:070:28:10

Lee...truth or lie?

0:28:100:28:13

It's a lie.

0:28:130:28:14

APPLAUSE

0:28:140:28:17

BUZZER

0:28:170:28:18

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

0:28:180:28:21

and I can reveal that David's team have won by three points to two.

0:28:210:28:25

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:250:28:29

Thanks for watching. Goodnight.
