0:00:28 > 0:00:32Welcome to this year's collection of the most annoying people of 2011.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hi, are you all right?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36We're going to have a good time, whatever happens.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Over the past 12 months, we've been drawing up a hit list
0:00:39 > 0:00:44of the most annoying people from around the globe.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Pop stars.- Argh!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Politicians...- I'll never forgive him. I'm not returning his calls at all.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Phone hackers...- Staff have been putting the finishing touches to the last edition
0:00:54 > 0:01:00of the News of the World because of the latest phone-hacking allegations.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05All the ones that have done their best to rattle our cages and trouble our Twitter.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10- We've got super injunctions... - I have no idea. Do you know?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- What do you think of this? - It's nothing less than huge.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And super star meltdowns.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20All he talked about was hookers and drugs and money, and he's really lost.
0:01:20 > 0:01:242011 has also been the year of the unexpected.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Looters and rioters shattered our big cities.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31This is going to carry on for days, innit?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34So, sit back and get ready tovent with vehemence.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Tonight, we're counting down the top five most annoying people of 2011.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48Rising high on our list, in more ways than one this year, is Charlie Sheen.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Hollywood is no stranger to the celebrity meltdown,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00but this year Two And A Half Men star Charlie Sheen had one to beat them all.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Charlie Sheen is just a magnified example of the mad person
0:02:07 > 0:02:09you meet on the bus you don't sit beside,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11except he's a Hollywood star.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Charlie! Charlie! What do you think of all this?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18'He is what celebrity is supposed to be.'
0:02:18 > 0:02:19It's nothing less than huge.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24He's entertaining and he just keeps us watching.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33This year, the wild antics of the playboy, and his not one, but two Playgirl goddesses
0:02:33 > 0:02:36forced production on his hit sitcom Two And A Half Men to grind to a halt.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40With time on his hands, Sheen turned to Twitter to explain himself,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41and in just over 24 hours
0:02:41 > 0:02:46had over one million followers not understanding a single word.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I don't know, any suggestions?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49'He was on every website,'
0:02:49 > 0:02:52on every TV show. He was talking to everybody,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55doing crazy things every single day. It got to the point
0:02:55 > 0:02:59where, actually, viewers and readers became a little bit bored of him.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01For his next trick, Charlie decided the time was right
0:03:01 > 0:03:06to insult the man who was paying him a cool 2 million an episode to make people laugh.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11But sitcom boss, Chuck Lorre, delivered the ultimatum punchline and gave him the sack.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16To criticise the people that were paying him so publicly was remarkable
0:03:16 > 0:03:21and, to be honest, I think I was a bit jealous, because we've all wanted to do that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27We've all wanted to just stand drunk and shout at the people that pay our wages.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Charlie Sheen, he's not frightened of anybody.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That's how I'd act if I was Charlie Sheen, up to a point,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36and then Charlie took it too far.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39He went from being a guy just doing these things
0:03:39 > 0:03:41to becoming a show off. No-one likes a show-off.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Bouncing back from the sack, Charlie's new mantra may have been "winning",
0:03:50 > 0:03:53but he was clearly losing the plot.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No-one knew exactly what he was winning,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59but, when he announced a tour of his one-man show, The Torpedo Of Truth,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02thousands turned up to find out.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Charlie! It's for you, buddy!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'm gonna name my baby "Charlie"!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Whoo! Hey!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Anybody else would listen, you know. It's not how this thing works.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17AUDIENCE SHOUTING
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Anyway...
0:04:18 > 0:04:20AUDIENCE JEERING
0:04:20 > 0:04:26The people who went and saw him were pissed when there was nothing to watch.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You didn't know that there was no show.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32What talent does he have? He was written for his entire life.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The way I see it, Charlie owes me 109 bucks.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Why's that?- Because it was kind of a waste of time.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44He's not winning. I lost by going to this. I lost. I'm losing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Charlie Sheen was asked if he was bipolar.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52His answer was to say, "I'm bi-winning."
0:04:52 > 0:04:54"I win here, I win there, I win everywhere"
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I think he has come out of this a winner.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Charlie's had the last laugh. After suing the makers of Two And A Half Men for mental anguish,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06he's come away with a settlement of 125 million.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Charlie Sheen, I am sure, will be back on our TV screens very, very soon
0:05:13 > 0:05:18and he could even become one of the highest-paid members of Hollywood yet again.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Up next, an appearance from another old friend here on this show.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29For Ashley Cole, 2011 has been an annoying year of guns, girls
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and an unlikely reconciliation in the summer with the ex.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Cheryl Cole's had a pretty tough time.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42She was very publicly humiliated, being kicked off the X Factor in the USA.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The thing that she needs is a bit of stability.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Yes, Ashley Cole's been a rat but, if you're going to offer her love and friendship, so be it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54But, of course, Ashley being Ashley, it wasn't to last.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The main reason so many of us
0:05:56 > 0:05:59hate Ashley Cole is because of what he's done to our beloved Cheryl
0:05:59 > 0:06:04and none of us wanted her to take Ashley back and she did, only to be let down by the guy again.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06What is the matter with him? Cheryl Cole for God's sake,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08giving you a fifth, sixth, seventh chance
0:06:08 > 0:06:12and you do daft stuff with models from nightclubs. What's the matter with you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I can't understand him! I can't get me head round him.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm annoyed. I'm furious with...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm just shaking with rage.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Cheryl Cole, she's hot.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You're punching well above your weight
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and you still can't treat her right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Just what on Earth goes through your head?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You cheated on one of the most beautiful women in the world
0:06:40 > 0:06:43with a set of absolute skanks, who went and then made money off it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I hope you feel proud of yourself.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50But it wasn't only Ashley's love life where a bit of banging landed him in trouble.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Back in February, he got it very, very wrong
0:06:54 > 0:06:57when he was told he needed to practise his shooting.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Ashley Cole was reportedly holding the rifle
0:07:00 > 0:07:02when he accidently fired it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05He shot someone who was standing 5ft away.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Ashley Cole took the most powerful air gun you can buy without a licence into training.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And he's just wandering around in the changing rooms
0:07:16 > 0:07:22and shoots the 18-year-old work-experience guy, Tom Cowan.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25That's surely proof the guy's not all there at all.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Who would do that?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Apparently, sources say he was larking around, but what kind of lark
0:07:31 > 0:07:34involves shooting the work experience with an air gun?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38(TV REPORTER) Chelsea say they are dealing with the matter internally.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's thought he'll be fined a quarter of a million by the club.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Though that's just two weeks' salary for the player.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Imagine you go to work and accidentally shoot Sonia from accounts.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51You know that's game over, career finished, probably a bit of time inside.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Not Ashley Cole, though.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I think what it was is that he went into football training
0:07:56 > 0:07:59thinking, "I want a change of career, I'm gonna try athletics."
0:07:59 > 0:08:03"In fact, I don't want to run, I want to be the guy who starts the race". Pow!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Whispering in at number three, it's the controversial subject of...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Sh.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14..super-injunctions
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and the growing list of celebrities that are taking them out like...
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Sh.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think you get the idea.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24# It's oh so quiet. #
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Super-injunctions are the new evil.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It should be the same for everybody -
0:08:29 > 0:08:32if you want to play away and you're found out, you take the consequences.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The annoying thing about it is it proves that,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43if you have a lot of money, you can try to protect your personal life.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46If you don't have a lot of money, then it's fair game for newspapers.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Celebrities had it so easy
0:08:48 > 0:08:51when they could simply pay huge sums of money to keep details
0:08:51 > 0:08:56of their private lives safely locked away inside the British legal system.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Pop star Howard Donald, journalist Andrew Marr,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02and presenter Jeremy Clarkson, have all been involved
0:09:02 > 0:09:05in gagging girls with their big super-injunctions.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10However, the most annoying case of super-injunctivitis this year
0:09:10 > 0:09:15involved hotty Imogen Thomas and a player who can only be identified as "CTB".
0:09:15 > 0:09:18But who is he?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22CTB. Who is he?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Honestly, I really have no idea. Do you know?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27If you don't know who CTB is,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30er, he's the one that slept with Imogen Thomas.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35He's a Premiership footballer and his name rhymes with "Brian".
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It was the most expensive worst-kept secret
0:09:40 > 0:09:43since the revelation that footballers like to sleep around.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48We all knew who it was. We knew who it was for ages.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53If I slept with Imogen Thomas, I would want the world to know.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I would be selling my story!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I'd sell them pictures going, "Seriously, it actually happened!"
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Eventually, the super-injunction was exposed, not by the courts but by 75,000 Twitter users.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18People from the streets, or on social media networks said,
0:10:18 > 0:10:23"You know what, we can say what we want and we've got that power now."
0:10:23 > 0:10:28CTB tried to protect his hefty investment by threatening to sue the Twitter community.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31He had the audacity to suggest that 75,000 Twitter users
0:10:31 > 0:10:37might end up in court, so that he could protect a story, which, essentially, everybody knew about.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39That is just... It's unenforceable.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42You can't stop Twitter. You cannot stop Twitter.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45As far as I'm concerned, getting outed on Twitter
0:10:45 > 0:10:50was one of my highlights of 2011, because it's all he deserved.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Although Imogen Thomas lost her legal battle, and is still gagged to this day,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03she has benefited from column inches and a revitalised career.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06To be honest with you, the only annoying thing is
0:11:06 > 0:11:09that Imogen Thomas is, you know, she's everywhere now.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12She did this article going, "I feel I've been objectified,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14"the way people are looking at me."
0:11:14 > 0:11:16"My flesh has now been consumed by the public."
0:11:16 > 0:11:19"I'm nothing but... I'm looked at as a slut and a sex object"
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And the next paper, she was in swimwear
0:11:22 > 0:11:23with a string up her arse
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and, honestly, a camel toe like the army of Saudi Arabia. It was unbelievable.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29"Stop objectifying me! Here's my vaj!"
0:11:29 > 0:11:33So, what's the way forward for super-injunctions in 2012?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36If you want to avoid the super-injunctions
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and all the embarrassment, how about you just don't do BEEP?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42How about that? How about you just behave?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'd love to be doing more gagging orders.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I'd love to be up to my eyeballs in gagging orders.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The truth is super-injunctions are really annoying
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and I really wish I could talk about them, but I can't!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58At number two, it's a real front-page shocker.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's been a ticking time bomb for some years,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06but in 2011 the scandal of phone hacking finally exploded.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10It's a story with so many candidates for most annoying.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14We could fill a programme trying to work out who was the worst,
0:12:14 > 0:12:19but there's no doubt which tabloid newspaper was singled out for the whole sorry mess.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22After 168 years of newspaper history, tonight,
0:12:22 > 0:12:27staff have been putting the finishing touches to the last edition of the News Of The World
0:12:27 > 0:12:30because of the latest phone-hacking allegations.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33News Of The World boss Rupert Murdoch made the shock decision
0:12:33 > 0:12:35to pull the plug on Britain's best selling newspaper
0:12:35 > 0:12:39when it was revealed in July that the tabloid's rife illegal phone hacking
0:12:39 > 0:12:41extended to victims of crime.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It began with the devastating allegation that Milly Dowler's
0:12:44 > 0:12:50phone messages were listened to and deleted by a tabloid investigator.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55There's no defence for what News Of The World did. Not only was it illegal, but it was immoral.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Just the audacity that they thought they could get away with this.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03They thought they could invade anyone's privacy, no matter the hell
0:13:03 > 0:13:07they were going through. I'm not sure where they are,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11but hopefully its cold and they're locked up. Yeah. but they're not, of course.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Latest figures suggest the News Of The World listened in on over 5,000 individuals.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23But it wasn't just their mucky phone hacking habits that annoyed us.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27It was also the cosy relationship the paper and its owners enjoyed
0:13:27 > 0:13:28with the powers that be.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Which may explain why it's taken so long for the scandal
0:13:32 > 0:13:33to become public.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38REPORTER: Revealed today the extraordinary links between two British institutions,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Scotland Yard and News International.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45MPs described it as a revolving door between the two organisations,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49each acting like a job-placement scheme for the other.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53What's annoying is the fact that nobody did anything about it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The newspapers didn't do anything about it. The police didn't do anything about it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The politicians didn't do anything about it. It's just rancid.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02REPORTER: What about the current occupant of No 10?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07He's never been photographed with Mr Murdoch, even when he was invited to visit him,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09discreetly, just days after the last election.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12With the full extent of phone hacking becoming clear,
0:14:12 > 0:14:18politicians were given a chance in July to grill Rupert Murdoch about his knowledge of the scandal.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22But the occasion ended in farce when stand up comedian Jonnie Marbles stepped forward
0:14:22 > 0:14:26to let the News Of The World boss know exactly what he thought about him.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32I was the guy who threw a pie in Rupert Murdoch's face.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36The foam on a plate was delivered by a member of the public,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40who was rewarded with a right hook from wife Wendy.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The News Of The World spent so much time telling everyone else in the world off.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48At the same time, they hacked 5,000 people. They broke the law over and over again.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51It shows the moral hypocrisy on the part of the tabloids.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You know, Rupert Murdoch's this almost Bond villianesque figure.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I had a plan in my head to try and say something sort of witty and acerbic,
0:14:59 > 0:15:05but what I ended up saying was, "You naughty billionaire," which didn't really cover it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10But, for some, Jonnie's gesture was almost as annoying as hacking itself.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I thought he was a bit of a dick. It was just getting good
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and he kind of let Murdoch off the hook a bit.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Who goes round assaulting 80-year-old men, anyway? Grow up, mate.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22He threw shaving foam in Rupert Murdoch's face,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23where it's meant to go.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's like throwing a custard pie in someone's mouth.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Despite spending two weeks in jail for common assault,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Jonnie makes no apology for his stunt.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34My only real regret from the whole thing
0:15:34 > 0:15:38is that I pled guilty at the trial, because it would've been real fun
0:15:38 > 0:15:42to call Rupert Murdoch as a witness and just do it all over again.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45The scandal rumbles on.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Most annoying of 2012? Hold the front page.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Well, at least on certain newspapers.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04And that's almost your lot. It's been another year full of maddening moments.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- 'We've had naughty action heroes...' - One expects better from the Kindergarten Cop.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11'..the sexist TV pundits...'
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Women don't know the offside rule. - Of course they don't!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- '..cringeworthy cricketers.' - It's just so un-Australian, Shane!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19'..and dumb footballers.'
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That's Mario. He's a confused guy.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23'We've been irked by Essex girls.'
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Shut up.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27'Left astounded by celebrity weddings...'
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Kim Kardashian does it again. - '..and fallen fashionistas.'
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, my God. Anti-semitism's so hot, right now!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- 'We've gone from barmy bankers...' - I go to bed every night, I dream of another recession.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- '..to proper plankers.' - "Hey, guess what I did last night? Some serious planking!"
0:16:42 > 0:16:43'From terrible twins...'
0:16:43 > 0:16:46(BOTH) J to the E to the D to the ward! Planet Jedward!
0:16:46 > 0:16:47'..to pervy pop stars.'
0:16:47 > 0:16:50She's gone and slutted it up.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- 'Every single one of them managed to irritate us.' - Nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We can safely say that none of them annoyed the nation
0:16:56 > 0:17:01as much as the mob who rampaged their way to our top spot.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08August 2011 saw us shocked by mayhem and destruction
0:17:08 > 0:17:12on a scale not seen on English streets for 30 years.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Almost every shop on this high street has been trashed and looted
0:17:18 > 0:17:23and it's only in the past few minutes that the police have arrived in any numbers.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Anger in Tottenham at the fatal shooting by police
0:17:30 > 0:17:32of young father Mark Duggan
0:17:32 > 0:17:36led to rioting in the area that then fireballed out of control throughout the capital.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I don't know why people... Oh, my God! I don't know why people do this.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50You don't think these sort of things would happen especially in, you know, leafy Enfield.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58There were so many young 14, 15, 16-year-old youths just everywhere.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04My TV was stuck on News 24 and Sky News
0:18:04 > 0:18:07going back and forth, getting the latest updates.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I even missed EastEnders. I missed EastEnders to watch the news!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Over four nights, mobs of youths, some as young as 11 and 12,
0:18:15 > 0:18:20ran rampage, using social networking as a means of encouraging others to loot and riot
0:18:20 > 0:18:25as the disorder spread out of London to cities like Birmingham and Manchester.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26The police can't do nothing.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So it's a like a freedom act, innit? Do whatever you want today, mate.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35What was really annoying is that all over the Arab world,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38young people were rising up and overturning their governments.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Our young people were standing around in designer sportswear, messaging on their Blackberrys,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46talking about how hard done by they were
0:18:46 > 0:18:50and rising up for a new pair of trainers and a fresh TV. Like...
0:18:50 > 0:18:56They interviewed one girl and the question they asked was why are you doing this?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58"Well, I had to get my taxes back, innit?"
0:18:58 > 0:19:00This is a 15-year-old child.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02People would text going, "Are you all right, mate?
0:19:02 > 0:19:07"Cars are on fire, shops are being looted, people getting smashed up."
0:19:07 > 0:19:09"Are you safe?"
0:19:09 > 0:19:15So I would text back, "Can't talk now, trying on my brand-new pair of Nike Air High Tops."
0:19:19 > 0:19:21With homes and cars destroyed,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24it was surely time for Dave "Hug A Hoodie" Cameron to sort it out.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29That got me the most angry. David Cameron's away on holiday.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33What's going on, David? He has no excuse for that, no excuse. I'll never forgive him.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Not returning his calls at all.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43On the front pages of the papers it was "Britain Burning"
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and him just sipping a limonata on a terrace somewhere.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Tuscany, actually.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK, so time for deputy Nick Clegg to step in.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No, Spain. The Home Secretary.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Switzerland. Get the Mayor, then.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Boris is still in Canada. Get him back here!
0:20:02 > 0:20:06There was so much negativity that went on with the riots
0:20:06 > 0:20:09that, being British, we had to make light of it.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14We had to make something funny out of it. Some of the most hilarious things I heard about were the looters.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Someone running out of a Pound shop.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20That has got to be the most rubbish loot ever.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24A £1 multi-pack bag of crisps.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Running into a footwear shop and running out with six pairs of shoes
0:20:30 > 0:20:35and being like, "Yeah!" But then they were all the left foot.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Some were tweeting on Twitter about what they were doing!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It taught us how stupid some people in London are.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48If you're going to go and get something and get away with it,
0:20:48 > 0:20:54and there's a chance you're gonna get caught, don't come and loot basmati rice. It doesn't make sense.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Did you see how pleased that kid was with it? He was trying to make it look really gangster.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00That big bag of basmati
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and him throwing, I think, the finger guns at it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06There is nothing gangster about basmati rice.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Pilau yes, we all know that(!) Safe. Down with that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14This will carry on for days, innit?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19The many theories suggested as to the cause of this mid-summer madness
0:21:19 > 0:21:23included over-long school holidays, rap music and violent video games.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Some scientists even claimed it was all down to geo-magnetic storms
0:21:27 > 0:21:30hitting the Earth and affecting human behaviour.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34We saw you and your friends smash in the windows of Dixons and you took a plasma.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37"Yeah, but, that's because the planet got hit by a meteor, innit?"
0:21:37 > 0:21:41That made me, like, t'ief a Samsung LED.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43That's like going to court and saying,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46"I'm sorry but Mystic Meg said that I must riot today,
0:21:46 > 0:21:47"because I'm a Virgo
0:21:47 > 0:21:52"and it says that the solar flares will cause me to smash in the window of a sports store".
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Annoyed all the politicians were away topping up their tans,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00the traumatised public took to Twitter to rally an army of their own.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I love the Twitter Clean Up Britain campaign.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I think it was really good
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and I'm glad that that we had to come together by ourselves,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12because we have the knowledge and strength, as Britonians, to come together
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and sort out the mess the Government should sort out.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19I think it's important to restore people's faith in mankind, basically.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's beautiful to see that people actually do care.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26When Boris finally did arrive, there were questions to be answered.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- CROWD: Where's your broom? Where's your broom? - I just want to say thank you
0:22:30 > 0:22:35to everybody who's come out here today to volunteer to help clear up the mess.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Thank you. You are the true spirit of this city.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40THEY CHEER
0:22:53 > 0:22:58So there you go. 2011's most annoying people taken to task.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Thank you. It was a lot of fun.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Brilliant. Thank you so much.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06No doubt, next year will throw up some new additions to the most annoying hall of infamy.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08All right. I'm done.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Girls Aloud are dusting off the cobwebs for their tenth anniversary tour.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16England's underperforming footballers are off to the European Championship.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Then, of course, we have the Olympics to look forward to.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Here's to an annoying 2012.
