00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,120
Read about the things that happen
throughout the world.

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,580
Don't believe in everything you see or
hear.

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,120
Read all about it.

4
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:27,560
Read all about it. News of the world.
News of the world.

5
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:43,950
And welcome to Mock the Week. I'm Daryl
O 'Brien. Joining me this week are Ria

6
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:48,350
Lina, Rhys James and Mark Simmons,
Angela Barnes, Sean McLaughlin and

7
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:49,350
Beckett -Kay.

8
00:00:56,130 --> 00:00:59,210
We start tonight with a round call. If
this is the answer, what is the question

9
00:00:59,210 --> 00:01:01,850
on the board of six categories? Sean,
which category would you like?

10
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:06,650
I will have sport, please. Okay, your
topic is sport. The answer is two.

11
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:12,350
Is it how many people in this audience
are staring at me amazed that Lionel

12
00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:13,990
Messi has been booked for Mock the
Witch?

13
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:19,570
Is it based on this seating plan, what's
the maximum amount of gingers allowed

14
00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:20,570
on a single team?

15
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:25,510
Is it how many pubes does Rhys James
have?

16
00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:28,249
Not anymore.

17
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:29,250
Hope you enjoyed your dinner.

18
00:01:31,570 --> 00:01:36,650
Is it what is the sum of how many good
decisions Keir Starmer has made plus

19
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:44,650
Is it how many men does my wife invite
round when she wants to freeze them?

20
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:51,890
Is it how many brothers does Princess
Anne wish she had?

21
00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:58,390
Is it what number will you never see
after the film title Marley and Me?

22
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:02,370
Too soon?

23
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:06,290
Is it how many faces has Peter Mandelson
got?

24
00:02:08,139 --> 00:02:10,979
Is it how many fingers is too many for a
prostate examination?

25
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,460
You look traumatised then, Dara, so... I
know too much.

26
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:24,780
Is it at what hour do I, a bad boy,
start eating after rape?

27
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:31,900
Is it in what year did the Virgin Mary
start googling nannies based in

28
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:38,590
Is it what we're going to have to lower
the drinking age to to save all the

29
00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:39,590
pubs?

30
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:43,850
Is it how many sex positions do I know?

31
00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:52,570
Is it how many syllables and what the
syllables are in Desmond's surname?

32
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,900
What is the maximum number of sneezes
you can do in a row before I think

33
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:06,000
an attention -seeking bellet?

34
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:11,920
Is it how many words does Donald Trump
read on an autocue before he goes off

35
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:12,920
screen?

36
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:17,340
Is it what's my Uber rating, given I
always ask for a go on the gears?

37
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,660
You have the correct answer.

38
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:26,120
How many people know what the word
wuthering actually means?

39
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,600
Did someone actually win two gold
medals?

40
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,300
At the Winter Olympics? Like two?

41
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,420
That's correct. Thank you very much,
Realina. You're very good.

42
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:35,620
Yes,

43
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:41,580
the question I'm looking for was, how
many gold medals did Team GB's Matt

44
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:44,580
win at this year's Winter Olympics in
Milan Cortina? This year, Weston became

45
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:48,040
the first British athlete in history to
win two medals in a single Winter

46
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,540
Olympics. The men's skeleton and the
mixed team skeleton with Tabitha Stoker.

47
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,960
That's mad, the skeleton.

48
00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:56,760
It's insane. Going down a mountain on a
tea tray, I'd rather go down on a

49
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,760
gorilla.

50
00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:00,870
Too many Winter Olympic sports are the
same.

51
00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:03,250
They're all just versions of sledding,
isn't it?

52
00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:08,590
It's just sledding, head first,
sledding, feet first, sledding, feet

53
00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:09,590
a bloke on top of you.

54
00:04:10,730 --> 00:04:14,250
There's too many Winter Olympic sports
where the person doing it could die

55
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:15,790
halfway through and we wouldn't even
know.

56
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:21,290
If a corpse was going round, they could
be on their third victory lap and we'd

57
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:22,290
only then know.

58
00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:25,430
Do you think they'd loop around on that
corpse?

59
00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:28,190
Are the dead ones why they call it
skeleton?

60
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,660
I love the name. Like, I just read, what
is it, Matt Weston wins skeleton gold?

61
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,120
What a great headline.

62
00:04:36,420 --> 00:04:39,300
It could be anything. You found the
skeleton gold adventure.

63
00:04:39,940 --> 00:04:42,480
But the Orcs rubies will not come so
easily.

64
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:47,140
He's either a Winter Olympian or a
pirate. There's two people who win

65
00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:50,900
gold. The headline, Brit takes gold in
skeleton, does sound like we're just

66
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,340
trying to fill up the British Museum
again.

67
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:58,240
They said he celebrated with three
slices of margarita pizza.

68
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,160
Like, that's the rich tea of pizzas, for
a start.

69
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:05,600
If I won a gold medal at the Olympics,
I'd be waterboarding myself with Ben and

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Jerry's and then getting bonnie -blued
by the Danish ice hockey team. That's

71
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,760
right.

72
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,900
I just really get that image out of your
head, Scott.

73
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:21,260
When you're being interviewed by Claire
Balding, you wouldn't use the word

74
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:22,340
bonnie -blue as a verb.

75
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,120
Didn't we win a gold in snowboarding as
well? Yeah, in the Snowboard Cross,

76
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,300
which is an excellent event, because
then one group down first, and then you

77
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:37,720
stagger the... Oh, it's just a really
good race of a thing, yeah. The

78
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Cross Mixed Relay. Yes. Which is way too
specific and way too many words to be

79
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,580
impressive. Yeah. It's like the sort of
award that a service station wins.

80
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:50,280
LAUGHTER In a service station, you see a
sign that says, we've got officially

81
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,120
the most carbon -neutral WH Smiths on
the M6 southbound.

82
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,640
LAUGHTER

83
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,420
We'll never be a winter sport power
because of because of our climate now I

84
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:05,240
to Canada a couple of winters ago It was
minus 30 degrees when I landed minus 30

85
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,560
if it got to minus 30 in this country Do
you think the airport would still be

86
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,980
open? If it got to minus 30 in this
country the king would go on the news to

87
00:06:12,980 --> 00:06:19,740
legalize cannibalism All order is over
just survive

88
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:22,920
just survive we may see you in spring we
may not

89
00:06:25,650 --> 00:06:30,030
Matt, to be credit for what he's done,
only took this up because he was injured

90
00:06:30,030 --> 00:06:32,570
playing other sports. He was generally
very good at sports.

91
00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:36,750
And he ended up in hospital with a
shattered back and then was noticed

92
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:39,830
one day the porter was pushing him for
the operation and slipped.

93
00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:45,930
And he was out the front door of the
hospital and down the main street and

94
00:06:45,930 --> 00:06:46,930
like, ahhh!

95
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:50,090
And there were two guys lifting it, they
had a pane of glass and they're like

96
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:51,090
forward and back.

97
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:55,010
Then there's the guy going, oh, I've set
up me fruit stall for the day.

98
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:59,030
And then there's a washing line, and he
went through that as well. And then he's

99
00:06:59,030 --> 00:07:00,050
all in ladies' underwear. Oh!

100
00:07:03,970 --> 00:07:08,590
How have the curling events been the
hotbed of controversy at these Olympics?

101
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:11,350
Well, there's been lots of controversy
about cheating, darling.

102
00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:14,750
But there's always been cheating in
curling. It's just usually they sweep

103
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:15,850
under the carpet really quickly.

104
00:07:18,590 --> 00:07:19,590
Thank you!

105
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:24,110
It's so controversial.

106
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:27,670
There's been more double -touching at
this Olympics than in the Epstein Files.

107
00:07:29,370 --> 00:07:33,030
They said it was a lot of fuss over
nothing, didn't they, the double

108
00:07:33,030 --> 00:07:35,810
They said it's not much a single finger
can do. I say you haven't lived.

109
00:07:37,930 --> 00:07:41,650
It's the finger in question. It's the
Canadian. Is that a lingering finger? Is

110
00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:45,030
that a lingering finger past the line?
You have to release it and not let it

111
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:46,310
like when they were in the Swedes or
Furious.

112
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:48,370
They were swearing, wasn't it? They were
swearing on the ice.

113
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:56,000
I get why they cheated, to get the glory
of being an Olympic gold medalist in

114
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,380
curling. There's not a person in this
room who didn't grow up wanting to be

115
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:00,820
Klaus Flogel when they were little.

116
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,100
What is the actual issue with double
touching?

117
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Is it because it'll make you go blind?

118
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
There is a big cultural difference with
the Canadians that maybe we don't

119
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880
realize. My wife is Canadian, so I know
this. Like, I remember on our first

120
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,820
date, I said to her, you look a million
dollars. Right. Do you have any idea how

121
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:21,620
weak the Canadian dollar is?

122
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720
But curling is, to be fair, like,
obviously curling is pathetic.

123
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:27,940
We know that.

124
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,520
It's an active activity at best. Okay,
curling.

125
00:08:31,310 --> 00:08:33,350
What? That's a shit stag do, isn't it?

126
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:37,230
It's darts. It's no different than
darts. It is darts. It's a pumpkin.

127
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:40,970
doing darts on their stag do? Never
organize a stag do.

128
00:08:42,510 --> 00:08:44,570
It's very tough to be a stripper at that
stag do.

129
00:08:46,810 --> 00:08:49,410
I said single touch, not double.

130
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:52,850
But it is the only Winter Olympics sport
with transferable skills because

131
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:56,250
there's a cleaning element to it where
you could actually do a job after it.

132
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:58,170
did you point at me when you're talking
about cleaning?

133
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:01,370
I've done so much directing at me.

134
00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:03,470
Oh, okay, yeah, let the Irishman clean.

135
00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:07,930
You're just in the crossfire like a
stripper on a stag do, I'm afraid.

136
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:12,530
But like the other Olympics, there's no
transferable skills, is there? If you do

137
00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:16,050
the luge, what can you do? Just test out
MRI machines in future.

138
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,620
It has been an Olympics marked by, and
this sounds obvious in a way, people

139
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:25,620
slipping and sliding. There's been a lot
of people falling over and doing badly.

140
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:26,920
I mean, the men figure skating.

141
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:32,240
I mean, what a huge surprise, because
all of the favourites fell, and the

142
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,960
was the guy who just did a figure of
eight pushing a penguin.

143
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,700
But this guy, I feel for him, because
he's an American citizen, but his

144
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:44,700
are both Russian, so it's not surprising
he's getting a bit nervous around ice.

145
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:53,110
Mira, what's going on here?

146
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:57,630
Well, I guess it's not just the police
who are looking for leads.

147
00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:07,570
I really feel like step on your toes
there. I do apologise.

148
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:11,130
Dogs are usually taken out for a shit,
not by a shit.

149
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:16,530
It's actually nice to see him wearing
trousers for once.

150
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,760
What's happened is he's realised that
the only way that the British public

151
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520
hate him more is if he becomes the dog
bin man.

152
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,900
I think that dog's looking pretty
healthy, given in the last six weeks

153
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:32,640
probably only been fed shredded
documents.

154
00:10:45,470 --> 00:10:48,490
The biggest PR team have just gone, you
need to look more normal. Just go out

155
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,910
and take your dog for a walk. Not like
that.

156
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:53,970
Do you know your rigid dog?

157
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:57,650
That's the dog you have. Bring that
rigid dog out for a walk somewhere.

158
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:58,650
be great.

159
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:02,290
He looks like he hasn't got cash to pay
the cabbie and he's gone, is this all

160
00:11:02,290 --> 00:11:03,290
right?

161
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:07,990
Maybe he's just, after all the
paparazzi, he just takes the dog and

162
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:13,950
He's holding it the wrong way around.

163
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,340
I can't remember how long it took to
train my dog, but it'll come to me.

164
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,840
The thing that upsets me about the whole
Manderson thing, though, really, is

165
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
that the police searched his house, and
it took them two days.

166
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360
If the police searched my house, it
would take four minutes.

167
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:34,320
They would just be like, oh, is it under
the stairs? He doesn't have stairs.

168
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,240
Oh, is it in the garden? He doesn't have
a garden.

169
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Oh, is it under the mattress?

170
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:40,100
You're not going to believe this.

171
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,760
Has anyone been on the island recently,
by the way? Has anyone actually gone out

172
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,760
to that island? Does it still operate?
You wondered if you could get a cheap

173
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,760
holiday? No, I just wondered.

174
00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:52,820
This is the stuff Martin Lewis won't
tell you.

175
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:58,020
Surely the flights will be relatively
cheap now, and the accommodation will be

176
00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:01,960
clear, and there's no nail, or whatever.
I mean, it must be Jurassic Park. It

177
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,160
must be reverted back to nature.

178
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:06,180
It's going to turn up on one of those
Omaze ads.

179
00:12:09,899 --> 00:12:14,220
This incredible island was probably
scrubbing furiously the back.

180
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,560
It's like how weddings are really cheap
if you have them on September the 11th

181
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,580
still. It's that sort of... So what,
we're talking a 9 -11 wedding on Epstein

182
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:27,580
Island? I want to know what the payment
references were.

183
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Because he supposedly got sent 75 grand
in three payments by Epstein.

184
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,480
But when you buy a dildo on the
internet, it doesn't say dildoshop .com

185
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,319
bank statement.

186
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,380
How do you know that?

187
00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:41,330
It's like, Dartmouth Solutions Limited.

188
00:12:43,490 --> 00:12:47,350
Finally, during the update, there's a
lawyer typing in Dartmouth Solutions.

189
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:53,720
financial advisor going, what?

190
00:12:54,580 --> 00:12:57,000
We're on the telly. This is the best
press I've ever got in my life.

191
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:03,380
If you buy a dildo now online, what you
do is banks will go, you sure this is

192
00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:03,859
not a scam?

193
00:13:03,860 --> 00:13:06,160
Have you checked the dildo? Have you
looked at the dildo? Who did you buy the

194
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,919
dildo from?

195
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Is it definitely a real dildo? Stop
making me, stop asking me questions. Is

196
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,160
dildo for a relative?

197
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,220
That's a deal that would have been
recommended by somebody who contacted

198
00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:19,119
of the blue.

199
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,340
That happens.

200
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,760
I look at Mandelson now and I just
wonder, how much more scandal, how much

201
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,320
disgrace can this man be hit with? I
mean, what is going to emerge next? Is

202
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,840
going to emerge that Mandelson wrote the
finale of Game of Thrones and he's got

203
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,280
Nando's black card and he only uses it
for water?

204
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,160
There's going to be a picture of him
kissing a bat in Wuhan in 2012.

205
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,020
At the end of that round, the points go
to Anderson and Alistair.

206
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,320
Join us after the break for more Mock
the Week.

207
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,400
The next round is called Between the
Lines, and the pitch is Alistair and

208
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:08,100
Would you make your way to the press
pit, please?

209
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:10,860
Rhys will deliver a speech in the guise
of a leading figure on the world stage,

210
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,960
and Alistair will translate what they
really mean.

211
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,120
This week, Rhys is Emmanuel Macron.

212
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:21,350
Bonjour, je m 'appelle Emmanuel Macron.

213
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:23,830
Je suis le président de la République.

214
00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:25,550
Je voudrais vous parler.

215
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:28,770
Is this going to be all in French?

216
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:34,450
Our countries are... I've lost
confidence in the accent.

217
00:14:39,930 --> 00:14:44,050
I'm going to... I'm going back to my
one, thank you.

218
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:50,490
Our countries are so close
geographically, it is a pleasure to make

219
00:14:50,770 --> 00:14:52,890
I'm gonna do the accent the whole way
through.

220
00:14:59,910 --> 00:15:03,430
I came by dinghy from Calais to piss off
Nigel Farage.

221
00:15:04,930 --> 00:15:07,950
I am so cool, I even wear sunglasses
indoors.

222
00:15:08,630 --> 00:15:09,890
I have conjunctivitis.

223
00:15:11,730 --> 00:15:14,750
We will work tirelessly in the defense
of Europe.

224
00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:17,430
24 hours a day, seven days a week.

225
00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:23,150
We will work tirelessly in the defense
of Europe, six hours a day, four days a

226
00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:24,150
week.

227
00:15:24,910 --> 00:15:28,450
Back home, I have to be on my guard
against the rising right.

228
00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:31,510
Mind you, Bridget has a great left hook,
too.

229
00:15:33,130 --> 00:15:35,390
I remain very sad about Brexit.

230
00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:47,190
The UK has been in the EU since 1973.

231
00:15:47,770 --> 00:15:50,550
It was so long ago, my wife was only in
her 40s.

232
00:15:52,390 --> 00:15:55,830
Remember, it was France that lit the
flame of liberty for the world.

233
00:15:56,050 --> 00:15:58,710
And then threw it through the window of
the nearest car.

234
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:04,050
I will defend negative stereotypes of
the French until my last breath.

235
00:16:04,490 --> 00:16:06,090
Although, it will smell of garlic.

236
00:16:07,890 --> 00:16:10,750
European countries all face the same
common problems.

237
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:12,170
Moi.

238
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:17,410
I want to say that I am very sympathetic
to the difficulties Keir Starmer is

239
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,410
having.

240
00:16:18,830 --> 00:16:23,910
I have an excellent relationship with
Trump.

241
00:16:24,190 --> 00:16:27,730
I'm so far up his arse, I can see Keir
Starmer's shoes.

242
00:16:31,010 --> 00:16:32,770
Well done, Teresa Larson!

243
00:16:38,650 --> 00:16:40,570
So, what's going on here?

244
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:44,890
It's Keir Starmer, just... one rock,
paper, scissors to get all the chairs.

245
00:16:48,070 --> 00:16:52,950
What I'm more worried about is why at
this conference is there a headboard

246
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:55,290
a pair of gold handcuffs on the board?

247
00:16:55,810 --> 00:16:57,830
Dartmouth Solutions Limited, of course.

248
00:17:00,450 --> 00:17:02,590
She's like, we also arrange conferences.

249
00:17:04,010 --> 00:17:08,290
The storm of saying Britain doesn't need
to increase defence spending, not with

250
00:17:08,290 --> 00:17:09,290
these fists.

251
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,079
Let me show you my one -inch punch.

252
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:18,680
The staff would think this is the first
date's restaurant, and that's Fred.

253
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:25,319
What is it? Where is it happening? Do we
know? I think this is Munich, where

254
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,700
Macron was giving a speech about
Europe's need to rearm.

255
00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:33,580
And it's very important that that is
delivered in a French accent and not a

256
00:17:33,580 --> 00:17:34,580
German accent.

257
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,700
You know, if it weren't for the French
accent, the ideal accent would have been

258
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:41,160
a Geordie accent, because it's
statistically the most trustworthy.

259
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:45,160
Like, I regret to inform you all that we
are at war with Russia.

260
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,360
Given's panic.

261
00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:52,980
Yes, it is. Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime
Minister, kissed down a picture at the

262
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:54,420
Munich Security Conference recently.

263
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,020
Do you know what Macron said during his
speech?

264
00:17:57,220 --> 00:18:00,040
I found it pretty harrowing to hear him
say that he wants Europe to become a

265
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,040
geopolitical power.

266
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,500
Sorry, are we not already a geopolitical
power? That's like if you're getting a

267
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:07,980
driving lesson and the instructor goes,
God, one day I hope to pass my test.

268
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:13,400
LAUGHTER At the end of that round, the
points go to Mark, Rhys and Ria.

269
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,900
The next round is called You Win Some,
You Lose Some.

270
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:27,720
This game... ..involves Mark and Sean,
so if you could make your way to the

271
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,340
performance area, please. This round is
a stand -up challenge. I launch the

272
00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:33,400
wheel of news, and wherever tuned, one
of our performers must step forward and

273
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,400
talk about that subject.

274
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,920
The winner is whoever I think is the
funniest.

275
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,140
OK, here we go. Let's have our first
topic, please.

276
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:41,020
OK, it's media.

277
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:42,360
Oh.

278
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Everything's changing in the media.

279
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,620
Apparently, we're the last generation
who are ever going to know what a

280
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:50,620
newspaper is.

281
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,620
All right, physical newspapers are going
to die out in the next 10 years. Oh,

282
00:18:53,660 --> 00:18:54,660
this is a tragedy.

283
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,760
They're the one thing from our time on
this earth, the future generations,

284
00:18:57,980 --> 00:18:59,400
they're not going to be able to get
their heads around.

285
00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:03,700
You tell a kid in 30 years what a
newspaper was, they're going to be like,

286
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:04,700
are you talking about?

287
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:09,940
You're telling me there was a 7 ,000
-page document with all the news in it

288
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:13,320
all the sport, and some of them just had
tits in it?

289
00:19:15,470 --> 00:19:18,070
Yeah, that's what we have of all the
internet. Big sort of Argos catalogue

290
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:19,070
of news, sport.

291
00:19:19,210 --> 00:19:23,850
Yeah, topless women, but also money
advice, Garfield comics, financial news,

292
00:19:23,850 --> 00:19:26,350
this sort of stuff. What was it, like
once a month you'd get it?

293
00:19:26,670 --> 00:19:28,090
Every day of your life.

294
00:19:29,070 --> 00:19:33,210
There was a new one to read every day of
your life. What, even on Sunday? On

295
00:19:33,210 --> 00:19:35,930
Sunday they were twice as big. No one
knows why.

296
00:19:37,060 --> 00:19:40,740
No one knows why, but they were there
waiting for you on your doorstep in the

297
00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:44,160
morning. What, there wasn't like a shop
that you went to? This is going to sound

298
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,360
crazy. We hired children to bring them
to us.

299
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:52,780
I don't know how any of it was legal.

300
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,600
We had massive heavy bricks full of tits
and images of war, and we summoned the

301
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,740
children from their beds.

302
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:03,460
Get up!

303
00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:07,570
Drag this sack around the neighborhood.
Mr. O 'Reilly needs to see a topless

304
00:20:07,570 --> 00:20:08,790
woman before 7 o 'clock.

305
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:11,850
Or he's not going to drive the school
bus.

306
00:20:13,550 --> 00:20:14,690
Thank you very much, Charles.

307
00:20:18,210 --> 00:20:19,830
OK, the leaves have been marked.

308
00:20:20,090 --> 00:20:21,090
Let's see who your topless is.

309
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:24,510
Going out.

310
00:20:27,330 --> 00:20:30,590
Oh, I've had a great day today. Went out
earlier, found some money in the

311
00:20:30,590 --> 00:20:33,070
street. Just next to some bloke singing.

312
00:20:37,219 --> 00:20:39,980
So my wife hates public displays of
affection.

313
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:43,800
It's one day she wouldn't kiss me in
front of people and I think she ruined

314
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,800
wedding.

315
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,920
That's not true.

316
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,120
No, I don't have a wife.

317
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,220
Do I have a girlfriend? No, that's true.
And actually after, she wants to go out

318
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,100
for a meal tomorrow night. She said yes.

319
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,840
So now I've got the flat to myself.

320
00:21:03,850 --> 00:21:07,410
Recently went to an Italian restaurant,
couldn't decide which pizza I wanted,

321
00:21:07,530 --> 00:21:08,850
and the guy was like, half and half?

322
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:10,190
I was like, no, I'll pay.

323
00:21:13,550 --> 00:21:16,570
After the woman where the toilet was,
she said, straight out the back. I said,

324
00:21:16,570 --> 00:21:17,570
know how to do it.

325
00:21:24,030 --> 00:21:27,370
The other day, my grandmother fell
asleep in the restaurant. It's okay,

326
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:28,370
it was Nando's.

327
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:37,470
This guy's phone went off a bit rude. He
answered it just after the chat.

328
00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:40,770
Just started having a chat during the
gig. I was like, right, I'm a

329
00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:43,670
comedian. I'll deal with this. I said,
who is it? He went, it's your mum.

330
00:21:44,790 --> 00:21:47,570
And that got laughed in the room. I
thought, actually, it's quite funny.

331
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:49,770
Anyway, turns out he'd nicked my phone.

332
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:57,200
I did this benefit gig, like a charity
fundraiser, and Boris Johnson was there,

333
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,740
right? And he knew I was a comedian.

334
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:02,260
He asked me the classic question. He
said, what's the worst heckle you've

335
00:22:02,260 --> 00:22:05,280
had? And I said, fuck off, you wanker.

336
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,800
I don't get heckled.

337
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,100
Thank you very much, Mark.

338
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:14,040
I did round the band's go -to.

339
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,300
Shove a gotcha! Let me come back here.
Thank you very much.

340
00:22:20,050 --> 00:22:22,590
Join us after the break for more of The
Week.

341
00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:32,530
Our next round is called Picture of The
Week.

342
00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:34,990
I'll turn the panel to Topic and I'm
going to ask them to tell me what's

343
00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:37,070
happening. So, teams, what's going on
here?

344
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:40,030
Six hard hats, one helmet.

345
00:22:43,050 --> 00:22:47,890
This is a work they visit from a local
company. I think they're called

346
00:22:47,890 --> 00:22:48,890
Solutions.

347
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,820
Very discreet. Ring them up, call them.

348
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,200
It won't appear in your phone bill. It's
very good.

349
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,480
They're not a scam.

350
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,440
Is it the village people?

351
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,680
This is why you check the WhatsApp. I'm
going as a builder.

352
00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:08,900
Gosh, it's nice to see someone who's in
the Epstein files actually surrounded by

353
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:09,920
actual minors.

354
00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:17,280
Yes, of course it is.

355
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:20,660
Your president, Donald Trump, with a
group of coal miners receiving an award.

356
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Somebody gave an award to Donald Trump.
This comes at a time when Trump has also

357
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,920
reversed environment policy from the
Obama era to declare greenhouse gases

358
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840
endangering public health, claiming it
was a giant scam.

359
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,640
So what award did he get from the
Washington Coal Club?

360
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,280
He won the Undisputed Champion of
Beautiful Clean Coal Award.

361
00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:42,960
And I cannot believe that award has
allowed itself to be demeaned like this.

362
00:23:44,410 --> 00:23:48,130
Right -wing coal miners are baffling to
me, you know? I grew up in Durham where

363
00:23:48,130 --> 00:23:49,950
it was all about coal mines and it was
all about the unions.

364
00:23:50,190 --> 00:23:54,410
Like, when I was a kid, even fairy
lights were fully unionized, you know?

365
00:23:54,410 --> 00:24:01,130
remember in the 90s? Because if one of
them stopped working... One

366
00:24:01,130 --> 00:24:02,130
out, all out.

367
00:24:04,330 --> 00:24:08,870
Solidarity. He's making it out to be a
huge thing, but it's just a minor award.

368
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,400
what you do to get some a kid to eat
their dinner it's embarrassing to have

369
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,920
make up it's what the brownies and the
scouts are all about i'm sure i've long

370
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,280
said that why why does that have to stop
you know i would definitely do my tax

371
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,760
return on time if i've got a badge but
why why don't we get badges for adult

372
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:34,580
things that's not adult things it's your
road job badge i would

373
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:36,220
definitely get it but where would i sew
it on

374
00:24:45,629 --> 00:24:49,270
Nothing better than a woman in a
negligee with loads of badges sewn onto

375
00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:50,270
negligee.

376
00:24:51,050 --> 00:24:52,810
This one's for hands, this one's for
face.

377
00:24:53,470 --> 00:24:57,290
You can get a self -esteem badge. How
shit are you going to feel if you don't

378
00:24:57,290 --> 00:24:58,290
get it?

379
00:24:59,810 --> 00:25:01,870
Who else has been excited to meet Trump
recently?

380
00:25:02,270 --> 00:25:03,610
Oh, Liz Truss. Liz Truss!

381
00:25:03,910 --> 00:25:04,910
Look at her little face!

382
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,470
Look at her little face!

383
00:25:07,450 --> 00:25:08,610
She's so excited.

384
00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:11,290
Looks like they're about to go out first
round on Pointless.

385
00:25:14,730 --> 00:25:18,230
To me, it's like when people post
photographs on Facebook with the

386
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:19,510
has good days and bad days.

387
00:25:23,450 --> 00:25:29,490
We took him for a lovely lunch at that
hotel we usually go to. It's really

388
00:25:29,630 --> 00:25:32,590
I've actually done some research about
this picture. I saw that picture, and

389
00:25:32,590 --> 00:25:35,230
many people know this, but that woman
was the Prime Minister.

390
00:25:38,410 --> 00:25:42,810
It is a very weird thing, like, a small
-time British villain meets a big,

391
00:25:42,810 --> 00:25:47,450
proper international villain, you know?
It's like Scarface meeting Blakey from

392
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:48,450
off the buses.

393
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:50,970
I've got a question.

394
00:25:51,270 --> 00:25:57,490
In America, if two immigration agents
have a kid, is that an ice -ice baby?

395
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:07,260
You're pushing it.

396
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:13,280
At the end of that round, the points go
to Mark, Rhys and Ria.

397
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:20,380
Our next round is Tim Heston.

398
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:24,500
I, to the panel, have pictures of two
well -known figures and ask them to tell

399
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:26,040
me how they might be connected.

400
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,920
So what connects me to international spy
James Bond?

401
00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:34,900
Is it that your full name is Dara Double
O 'Brien?

402
00:26:37,399 --> 00:26:41,320
It's a tragedy, really, because 007 is
your sperm count, isn't it?

403
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,040
That'll be fine now.

404
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Thank you very much.

405
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,020
Is it that everyone thought in the
reboot they'd both be played by a woman?

406
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,960
Out of my cold, dead hands.

407
00:26:58,740 --> 00:27:00,140
Is it sex addiction?

408
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:10,360
Kill him.

409
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:12,820
He's got Bond girls.

410
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,620
Have you got O 'Brien girls?

411
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,760
O 'Brien girls doesn't sound as
glamorous, I've got to say. The O 'Brien

412
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,640
just sounds like, you know, sort of your
sisters.

413
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,320
Oh, the O 'Brien girls have been off to
trouble. They've been tipping the cows

414
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,320
again out there.

415
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:30,640
It sounds like some girls who went
missing sort of 40 years ago. Oh, no!

416
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:33,200
No -one heard from the O 'Brien girls
again.

417
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,360
The town is still haunted by the memory
of the O 'Brien girls.

418
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,120
Is it that you've both got the license
to kill the vibe?

419
00:27:42,580 --> 00:27:44,940
Is it that you've both got the license
to kill my career?

420
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:50,500
Is it that you've both had characters
based on you in the Austin Powers films?

421
00:27:57,740 --> 00:28:01,280
Don't even finish that, don't even
extend that. Sean, I've enjoyed your

422
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,280
ever appearance on...

423
00:28:03,199 --> 00:28:05,600
I mean, you've got the licence to kill
Sean's career.

424
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,500
You've been doing the same job for
decades, don't look any older.

425
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,859
You're welcome.

426
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:13,560
That's the nicest of all of them.

427
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:17,980
Both just really attractive, charismatic
people I have a lot of respect for.

428
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:24,160
Both of you think you're the main guy,
but it's sort of the teams around you

429
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,160
that make it good.

430
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:30,840
Is it both of them, despite what people
may think, have actually been played by

431
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840
Irish people?

432
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:40,260
Okay, well, I'll play... This is not
a... This is a persona I have. He's

433
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:41,260
Irish. Yeah.

434
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,380
The thing that... Dara's been good to
me, I suppose.

435
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:48,520
Is it that you're wearing the same
outfit in these pictures?

436
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,000
I am, although I feel I'm not wearing it
as accurately as he is.

437
00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:55,900
I've worn tuxedos a lot over the course
of my life. Did you have to pick one in

438
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:56,900
which I'm like...

439
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,660
For some reason, I'm giving, I'm trying
to give a smoldering look, and yet my

440
00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:03,760
tie is going, for Doigan.

441
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,540
His picture, obviously, is James Bond,
and yours would have been hosting, like,

442
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,600
mortgage provider.

443
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,200
No,

444
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,080
it's not that. It's dude's face.

445
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,960
You both won't shut up about it.

446
00:29:18,780 --> 00:29:19,860
That was an exciting fact.

447
00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:25,930
Like a moon named after you. It's very
close. It's not a moon, no. A

448
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:27,230
constellation. Not a constellation.

449
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:29,130
Asteroids. Amazing constellation.

450
00:29:29,790 --> 00:29:30,790
Violet, a fucking alien.

451
00:29:33,150 --> 00:29:35,950
We both have an asteroid named after us.
Oh.

452
00:29:36,490 --> 00:29:40,050
So we could all get flattened by the
Dara O 'Brien. Oh, yeah. If it gets

453
00:29:40,050 --> 00:29:42,010
out of its path, it will destroy all
life on Earth.

454
00:29:42,930 --> 00:29:45,370
You're proud of that, aren't you? For
about six weeks, I'll get a lot of

455
00:29:45,370 --> 00:29:46,370
coverage.

456
00:29:47,670 --> 00:29:48,670
So why do you have this?

457
00:29:48,970 --> 00:29:50,510
How do you get this? Why did they name
it after you?

458
00:29:50,890 --> 00:29:51,930
Are you a similar size?

459
00:29:52,570 --> 00:29:56,930
Us boys aren't all laughing. They're
bigger than me.

460
00:29:58,910 --> 00:30:01,850
If it wasn't bigger than you and we
wrote about it destroying the Earth.

461
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:08,530
If I was fired from base, I would not
destroy the Earth. I would burn up in

462
00:30:08,530 --> 00:30:12,270
atmosphere. That is true. Because you're
Irish. Because I'm Irish.

463
00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:14,990
Very close.

464
00:30:18,050 --> 00:30:20,270
Yeah, well, it'd be the Guinness,
wouldn't it?

465
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:22,970
It's a white head.

466
00:30:25,210 --> 00:30:28,370
Why, by the way, independent of this,
why has James Bond been in the news

467
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:30,530
recently? I think he's facing war crime
charges.

468
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:36,110
There's speculation over who the new
Bond is. As there always is, but Callum

469
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:37,130
Turner is the name of the actor.

470
00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:38,350
There's a picture of Callum Turner.

471
00:30:38,530 --> 00:30:40,090
He looks like a Rorschach test.

472
00:30:41,170 --> 00:30:42,170
No,

473
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:44,910
no, no, it's the guy in front, not the
shape behind.

474
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,680
I was thinking it was weird that my
aunt's breasts were behind him.

475
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:56,460
You know, genuinely, because this annoys
me, because Callum Turner is already

476
00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:00,320
engaged to Dua Lipa. Yeah. And now he's
potentially going to be James Bond. How

477
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,140
good do you want your life to fucking
be, mate?

478
00:31:03,020 --> 00:31:04,920
He's basically picking off everyone's
dreams.

479
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:09,140
And I genuinely, two years ago,
auditioned for Johnny English Jr.

480
00:31:13,740 --> 00:31:17,460
The best thing about that is you did it
two years ago, so you are already in

481
00:31:17,460 --> 00:31:18,460
your 30s.

482
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,160
I was 33 years old, Angela.

483
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Johnny English's son.

484
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Doesn't have a name of his own. Johnny
English Jr.

485
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,280
That's what I was hoping was going to,
you know, mock the weekend did. I was

486
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,020
like, it's all right, I'm a film star
now. Anyway, back here.

487
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:39,660
At the end of that round, I was sheer
pity. That's what we're ending on, is

488
00:31:41,470 --> 00:31:42,369
Blaming everything.

489
00:31:42,370 --> 00:31:43,370
This is my big career.

490
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:46,510
This is how the show ends. The camera
pulls slowly off your face.

491
00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:51,750
Goes out of the studio and into the rest
of this lot, Elstree lot, whatever,

492
00:31:51,970 --> 00:31:56,110
where it then turns and you can see the
filming of Johnny in the studio.

493
00:31:58,170 --> 00:31:59,990
It's just, I don't know, James Acaster,
I don't know.

494
00:32:00,930 --> 00:32:01,930
Yeah,

495
00:32:02,550 --> 00:32:05,030
OK, at the end of that round, the
point's going to Mark, Rhys and Ria.

496
00:32:08,990 --> 00:32:11,790
Join us after the break for more Mock
the Week.

497
00:32:19,030 --> 00:32:22,270
Now we play a game called You Think
That's Bad.

498
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:25,430
In a world where everything seems to be
going wrong, this is a chance for our

499
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:28,430
performers to compete to outdo each
other with tales of woe from their

500
00:32:28,510 --> 00:32:31,550
And I decide whose is the worst. Anyone
care to start us off? I'll start.

501
00:32:31,890 --> 00:32:35,330
Oh, Angela. Do you know what I did this
week? I accidentally sexted my father

502
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:36,330
-in -law.

503
00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:41,210
I was staying in a hotel. It had nice
tiles in the bathroom and he liked that

504
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:44,310
sort of thing. So I sent him a picture
and I didn't realise my reflection was

505
00:32:44,310 --> 00:32:45,310
the mirror.

506
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:49,310
I mean, that's bad, but did he respond
to the text?

507
00:32:49,830 --> 00:32:51,470
Not yet. Still waiting, Brian.

508
00:32:53,870 --> 00:32:56,930
My mother -in -law sent me a weird
message the other day. I sent her

509
00:32:56,930 --> 00:32:59,630
innocent like, what are you up to? She
texted back saying she's got nothing on.

510
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,380
You think that's bad? I asked a friend
to guess my age, and he said bronze.

511
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,780
You think that's bad? My wife recently
said to me the worst words a husband can

512
00:33:15,780 --> 00:33:19,000
hear. You're not sorry you did it,
you're sorry you got caught.

513
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,220
Yeah. I wasn't cheating, I'd wiped a
yoghurt lid on the cat.

514
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,580
I mean, that will get dealt with. I
mean, the cat's going to deal with that

515
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:32,420
situation. It is very much a self
-cleaning thing, the cat.

516
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,580
You think that's bad? And this isn't as
bad.

517
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,860
Nowhere near as bad.

518
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:49,980
But you think that's bad? I recently
found out the fire brigade no longer

519
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:51,400
out and rescue cats who have stuck up
trees.

520
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,360
I had to set the tree on fire.

521
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,940
You think that's bad? I was visiting my
friend in my new fur coat and her

522
00:33:58,940 --> 00:34:00,880
husband wiped a yoghurt lid on me.

523
00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:07,750
You think that's bad? My mobile phone is
so rubbish, a guy in a scooter came

524
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:09,150
past and gave it to me.

525
00:34:10,929 --> 00:34:14,130
You think that's bad? The doctor found a
bit of Lego in my bum.

526
00:34:14,650 --> 00:34:17,610
I said, is that the weirdest thing
you've ever found? He said, it's not the

527
00:34:17,610 --> 00:34:18,810
weirdest, but it's definitely up there.

528
00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:26,710
You think that's bad? A doctor once
found a two -pound coin up my arse, and

529
00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:28,270
we had an argument about who got to keep
it.

530
00:34:29,989 --> 00:34:33,739
What did he get to keep it? It does, it
is. Was that your bottom dollar?

531
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:43,960
For the rest of the show, the aim is to
find one you don't have a

532
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,960
joke about.

533
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,659
You think that's bad? I spent four hours
the other day looking for my Kinder Egg

534
00:34:49,659 --> 00:34:51,600
toy. Turns out I'd been eating a baby
belt.

535
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:57,960
You think that's bad? My girlfriend got
so annoyed at me using my phone, she

536
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:58,960
threw it across the room.

537
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,700
Luckily, I put it on airplane mode.

538
00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:07,060
You think that's bad? I'm so anxious
that I tried to watch pornography, but

539
00:35:07,060 --> 00:35:09,860
were doing it in the back of a taxi, and
I kept thinking, the meter's still

540
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:10,860
running!

541
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,640
You think that's bad? This guy asked me
the other day if I was British, and he

542
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,540
said, yeah, I am. And he said, oh,
because your face isn't British.

543
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,120
I would have loved to tell him to fuck
off, but he still had my passport.

544
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:33,420
You think that's bad? My friend suffered
from anxiety, and I told him, if you

545
00:35:33,420 --> 00:35:35,480
ever start to panic, take a deep breath.

546
00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:36,820
He drowned.

547
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,040
You think that's bad? I saw a bit of
packaging earlier that said, danger of

548
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,780
suffocation, keep away from babies.

549
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,240
But I'm not worried, because I don't
think a baby could suffocate me.

550
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,580
Their hands are too small.

551
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,020
They would take you down in seconds.

552
00:35:57,150 --> 00:35:58,570
At the end of that round.

553
00:36:00,190 --> 00:36:03,410
Can I just point out, don't have
anything about baby suffocation by the

554
00:36:03,410 --> 00:36:04,348
of it.

555
00:36:04,350 --> 00:36:06,090
Where's your thought about baby
suffocation?

556
00:36:08,290 --> 00:36:09,290
Actually, don't hold your breath.

557
00:36:15,790 --> 00:36:18,450
The point is we're going to mark reason
real.

558
00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:26,630
Now we come to scenes we'd like to see.
So if everyone can make their way over

559
00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:29,450
to the performance area, I'll read out
this week's topics, and then we'll see

560
00:36:29,450 --> 00:36:34,290
what our panel can come up with. Okay,
here we go. The first subject is things

561
00:36:34,290 --> 00:36:35,630
you wouldn't hear on a travel show.

562
00:36:36,370 --> 00:36:38,870
So, what can I say about North Korea?

563
00:36:39,110 --> 00:36:41,570
Well, if I want my passport back,
absolutely nothing.

564
00:36:44,290 --> 00:36:47,430
Of course, this area used to be known
for quicksand.

565
00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:48,630
But things have changed.

566
00:36:55,310 --> 00:36:59,170
On this week's episode of Great Railway
Journeys, we'll be making the eight

567
00:36:59,170 --> 00:37:03,670
-hour trip from Manchester to half a
mile outside Manchester.

568
00:37:06,750 --> 00:37:07,750
Mum, bye.

569
00:37:08,250 --> 00:37:11,210
I'm here in Switzerland saying bye to
Mum.

570
00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:29,630
Today we pay our respects to one of
Scotland's greatest female pop stars by

571
00:37:29,630 --> 00:37:31,530
visiting one of her favourite
destinations.

572
00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:33,450
We are going to Honolulu.

573
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:43,710
Here in the Dead Sea, it is impossible
for anything to think, so I'm really

574
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:46,010
regretting that crafty shit I just had.

575
00:37:49,570 --> 00:37:53,090
Hi, I'm Michael fucking Palin, and this
week I'm in fucking Ipswich.

576
00:37:56,810 --> 00:38:00,190
Well, you can tell there's a lion nearby
from these warm droppings I've just

577
00:38:00,190 --> 00:38:01,190
done in my pants.

578
00:38:03,950 --> 00:38:08,370
On a beach this unspoilt, you know you
can go for miles without seeing a single

579
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:10,110
living... Hi, Ramesh.

580
00:38:14,590 --> 00:38:18,490
We've been at the resort for a couple of
days now, and my wife just informed me

581
00:38:18,490 --> 00:38:21,490
that one of the members of staff keeps
checking her out, which is weird, cos he

582
00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:22,530
knows we're staying all week.

583
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,460
It's time for the British travel show
generator.

584
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:34,400
Let's spin the wheel. Now we've got Ed
Balls travelling through South Sudan on

585
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,060
tandem bicycle.

586
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:44,100
They're calling it a staycation, but
it's actually six months for armed

587
00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:52,840
And the plane descends into Madrid
airport, or as Ryanair call it, Berlin

588
00:38:56,710 --> 00:39:01,070
This footage of Britain's coastline
really is one of the BBC's best -kept

589
00:39:01,070 --> 00:39:03,250
secrets. Not the best, of course.

590
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:11,630
They say to really enjoy a place, you've
got to go off the beaten track.

591
00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:13,630
Great, now I'm lost!

592
00:39:16,410 --> 00:39:18,150
Travel. Romance.

593
00:39:18,430 --> 00:39:20,610
Luxury. It's not for you.

594
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,140
I'm here in Kazakhstan to dispel the
harmful stereotypes perpetuated about

595
00:39:29,140 --> 00:39:32,360
Kazakhstan in Western media. And with me
is my wife.

596
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:41,260
The next topic is unlikely things to
hear at the Winter Olympics.

597
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Fucking cold, innit?

598
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,380
It's actually slippier than it looks.

599
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:53,850
And now it's time... for the cross
-country skiing.

600
00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:56,610
Iran, Russia, Syria, all very cross
-countries indeed.

601
00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:03,670
Ice Cube was going to perform at the
opening ceremony, but due to global

602
00:40:03,670 --> 00:40:05,390
warming, here's wet, wet, wet.

603
00:40:08,290 --> 00:40:12,250
Oh, that's very clever from the Russian
bobsleigh team. Saving space by putting

604
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:15,010
the smallest athlete inside the second
smallest athlete inside the...

605
00:40:19,470 --> 00:40:22,330
And here at the bobsleigh, the Jamaican
team is doing terribly.

606
00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:23,589
Everyone's crying.

607
00:40:23,590 --> 00:40:24,710
This isn't charming at all.

608
00:40:27,290 --> 00:40:32,790
And his dreams of Olympic gold come to
an end with winning Olympic gold. That

609
00:40:32,790 --> 00:40:34,210
was a weird way to phrase that.

610
00:40:35,870 --> 00:40:36,870
I'm high.

611
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:44,050
And that's all from the biathlon. Next
up, we have the gayathlon, the

612
00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:46,870
straightathlon and the anything after a
couple of pintsathlon.

613
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,600
Now, I'm not saying the British curling
team is middle class, but they do have a

614
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,120
Filipino woman doing the sweeping.

615
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,020
And they've dropped their sticks, and
now they're fighting, and the blind

616
00:41:03,020 --> 00:41:04,740
bobsleigh has descended into Anakin.

617
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:12,420
Oh, look at that. Two, three, four full
flips in the air. I don't think you'll

618
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:13,800
be allowed to drive the air ambulance
again.

619
00:41:16,970 --> 00:41:21,650
This is the most nervous I've seen
skaters since Dancing on Ice was hosted

620
00:41:21,650 --> 00:41:22,650
Philip Schofield.

621
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:31,350
Welcome to Milan, home to Prada, Miu
Miu, Versace and other shit names for

622
00:41:31,350 --> 00:41:32,350
British children.

623
00:41:35,810 --> 00:41:39,750
After a shaky start for the Italian,
just a few days later, he's back.

624
00:41:39,970 --> 00:41:42,710
And you know, that's a little bit like
Jesus, isn't it?

625
00:41:47,660 --> 00:41:48,660
Oh, I should have bought a coat.

626
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,660
As they come pelting down the slope, I'm
reminded that Winter Olympians have 14

627
00:41:57,660 --> 00:42:04,620
words for snow, but only one word for...
And if anyone is at

628
00:42:04,620 --> 00:42:07,360
home watching the curling and thinking
it might be fun to take part yourself,

629
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,300
please keep in mind, every single person
here is a virgin.

630
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,900
Where do I get my poles from?

631
00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:16,910
Dartmouth Solutions Limited.

632
00:42:23,050 --> 00:42:28,430
And of course, beneath the slopes, the
ice warriors wait, biding their time,

633
00:42:28,570 --> 00:42:32,790
dreaming their deathless dreams in
chambers vast beyond a match.

634
00:42:33,130 --> 00:42:34,470
Is that Claire Balding?

635
00:42:37,870 --> 00:42:40,110
Shall we just wait till it's sunny? This
is fucking shit.

636
00:42:44,030 --> 00:42:47,370
Apologies to all viewers, apparently
that thing in the ice hockey is called a

637
00:42:47,370 --> 00:42:48,370
puck.

638
00:42:51,110 --> 00:42:55,670
This is lovely to see. The first ever
