Would I Lie to You? (2007–…): Season 10, Episode 3 - Episode #10.3 - full transcript

Host Rob Brydon and team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell are joined by guests Sara Cox, Jason Manford, Nick Robinson and Harry Shearer for another edition of the comedy panel show.

Good evening.
Welcome to Would I Lie To You?

the show with barefaced lies

and well-masked truths.

On Lee Mack's team tonight,

an American comedian,
actor and star of The Simpsons.

One of the few people for whom

having voices in his head

is actually a good thing.

It's Harry Shearer.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And she presents
The Great Pottery Throw Down,



which I think is just smashing.

It's Sara Cox.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And on David Mitchell's
team tonight,

a comedian who used to be a glass
collector in a comedy club.

It was a tough job but he
picked it up as he went along.

It's Jason Manford.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And the BBC's former
chief political editor.

In one year, he asked politicians a
record number of questions - 5,000 -

and got a record number
of answers - seven.

It's Nick Robinson.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, to round one, Home Truths,



where our panellists
each read out a statement

from the card in front of them.

To make things harder, they've
never seen the card before,

so they've no idea what
they'll be faced with.

It's up to the opposing team to
sort the fact from the fiction -

and Jason is first up tonight.

OK.

"I once wet myself whilst
baby-sitting a toddler."

LAUGHTER

Lee's team.

When was this?

I reckon I was about...

..12 or 13.

It's quite young to be baby-sitting.

It's not in the North.
LAUGHTER

Most of us are parents by that age.
I was going to say.

LAUGHTER

So, whose baby was this, then?

Was it a neighbour's or...?
It was...

No, no, it was, like, a niece...

LIKE a niece? No, no...
LAUGHTER

Was it a nephew?

LAUGHTER

No, it was a niece.

No, a cousin. Well, it's hard to...

It's a niece.

Why didn't you go to the toilet?
Because...

I, like, heard...
I heard a voice upstairs.

"LIKE" a voice? Like a voice, yeah.

Like a niece's voice?
LAUGHTER

It was like the voice of a man,

like, of someone who shouldn't
have been up there, like...

Oh. Like a voice that
I didn't know... Yeah.

..and I just got scared.
I thought it was a ghost.

So, you heard this voice
and you went to investigate?

It was on the baby monitor.

So... What did the voice say?

It said... "Wet yourself."

LAUGHTER

HARRY: Go ahead!

It wasn't an instruction.
It was just, like, a voice.

"I'm in the toilet, it's occupied."

LAUGHTER

So, what did the voice say? I can't
remember the exact words, but...

Cos you always forget
what a ghost says.

Did he speak in English?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was English.

What kind of accent?

Like a Northern accent.

He wasn't going, "Oooooooh!"

He wasn't doing like
a typical ghostly noise,

he was just going...

"Ay up."

LAUGHTER

And then did you go upstairs?

I went up and...

there was nothing there.

And did you ever get to the bottom
of what this voice was?

Yeah, I think what had happened was

the baby monitor had tuned into one
of the neighbour's baby monitors.

Oh, yeah. I was just listening to,
like, someone three doors down.

When you realised that
you'd had an accident

because you were frightened... Yeah.

..did you then make any attempt
to sort of get changed or...?

No, I still... Can I say, Sara,

it's a lovely line of inquiry

but can I just go a step further

and ask the extent of the spillage?

Because...

Well, no, no...

There's the full-on,

there's the deluge,
then there's something

that some of the more middle-aged
men on the panel might...

LAUGHTER

..might be aware of,

which is the sitting
and, "Oh, not again."

LAUGHTER

Can I just say -

you're saying this out loud.
LAUGHTER

Was it age-related seepage

or did the levee break?

Oh, stop saying "seepage."

Rob, are you hoping to become...?

Cos there are many products
for gentlemen of that age

with that problem,

are you hoping to
become the face of them?

LAUGHTER

"Only if you're wearing a Brydon
will you have real peace of mind."

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Rhymes with Dry-don.

"Stay Dry-don in a Brydon."

There you go.
LAUGHTER

Dryd-on? Dried-on.

LAUGHTER

With a Brydon...

"With a Brydon, you'll be dried-on."

LAUGHTER

It has, it's dried on.
It's dried on.

So, you go up, you get
to the niece's bedroom,

you check on her. Yeah.

When does the penny drop?

I went up, grabbed the child,
who was asleep in her cot...

Yeah. ..I went out
the front door and my...

You actually ran out the house?

Yeah. Yeah, I did. Screaming what?

I didn't scream, Lee, I just...

Well, you've wet yourself. Well...
LAUGHTER

Don't try and keep dignity
with this story.

"I didn't scream,
I just wet my pants."

So, my auntie and uncle
just live round the corner,

so I just went round there.
And what did you say to them?

"There's a ghost in the house,
so I've got the baby."

LAUGHTER
And what did they say?

"Have you wet your pants?"

LAUGHTER

So, what's your team thinking?

Harry, does this strike
you as the truth?

I'm still back at,
"Like a niece, like a nephew".

Yeah, it was unsettling, wasn't it?

A bit. That got me off
my feed right there.

So, Harry thinks it's a
lie and Sara says it's...

I think, I kind of
think it might be true.

Oh, split decisions, I hate them.

Who can persuade me the most?

I think if...
I think Smithers could.

Can we make him do
the voice, please?

That's early.

Round One.
LAUGHTER

I thought, "At least
have the dignity

"to wait till the second half."

"Is it truth or a lie?"
"Never mind that, do Smithers."

LAUGHTER

I swear, all day...

Now, dance!

APPLAUSE

OK, we'll go with Harry
and say it's a lie.

Saying it's a lie. OK.

Jason, truth or lie?

It is...

Oh.
APPLAUSE

It is true - Jason did wet himself
while baby-sitting a toddler.

Sara, you're next. OK.

"I know how to properly wash a cow."

David's team.

How do you properly wash a cow?

With water... Mm-hmm.

..and soap... Oh.

..and determination.

Why do you have to wash a cow?

Oh, if they get dirty, and...

LAUGHTER

Yeah, you need to wash
a cow if you're going to...

If you're going to show your cow,
like, at a county show or something.

Oh, right.

What sort of soap
would you use for a cow?

A typical soap or was it a
special agricultural soap?

Um, you'd use Fairy liquid.

Just the one brand? Just Fairy?

I mean you could use a
citrusy, lemony-fresh one.

LAUGHTER

I think that would make
the milk taste lemony.

LAUGHTER

But the steak would be lovely.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

LEE: Because everyone likes a bit
of lemon on their steak, don't they?

LAUGHTER
I'd eat that.

Well, yes, Lee. Do they?

They often marinate a sn...

A snake.
LAUGHTER

You certainly made me look an idiot
there, Rob. I'll give you that.

LAUGHTER

I won't be messing with you again.

Yeah. Yes, Lee, because...

You said, "Snake,"
you can't do it again!

LAUGHTER

Every time you say it,
I'll shout, "Snake!"

So, why did you have to wash a cow?

You marinate a steak... Snake!

LAUGHTER

Save it for tonight when
you're in bed with your wife.

"I'm just marinating the snake."

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Why did you have to wash a cow?

Yeah, I washed a cow
because my dad's a farmer

and so we would wash the cows
and take them to the shows,

the county shows. Arable?

No, he's a nice man.

LAUGHTER

What do you mean, "Arable?"

They're cows!

How can they be arable?
LAUGHTER

What does arable mean?

LAUGHTER

Arable is crops.

Yeah, well. Like wheat.

Well, have you never heard...?
Not animals. Duh.

Have you never heard of a farmer

who has a little bit of arable

and a little bit of pastoral?

That would be mixed farming,
not arable farming.

Which was going to
be my THIRD option.

LAUGHTER

What breed of cows were they?

They are, they are the
brown and white ones.

Don't get too technical.

They're called Herefords.

ALL: Oh.

What were their names, your cows?

Well, there was
a long line of Dianas.

Dianas? Yeah. "Diana, the cow."
Diana, the cow.

What do you mean by "long line"?

Well, Diana would have a daughter

and then that'd be another Diana.

And then the initial
Diana becomes...

Steak Diana?

LAUGHTER

Ooh. Oh, that's good. Wow.
That was so good.

That is a classy pun.

So, David, time to take a guess.

What do you think? Nick?
I'm suspicious.

You think it's a lie?

Well, a plausible lie.

Yeah, I think it's a lie.

If you both think it's a lie...

I'm afraid so. Yep. Yep.
We're going to go, "Lie."

You're going to say, "Lie"? OK.

Sara, truth or lie?

It's...

APPLAUSE
Yes!

Yes, it's true, Sara does
know how to wash a cow.

Our next round is
called "This Is My,"

where we bring on a mystery guest

who has a close connection
to one of our panellists.

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

that has the genuine
connection to the guest.

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

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

APPLAUSE

So, Nick...

what is Claire to you?

Well, this is Claire.

I was once so peckish

that I broke into her cottage

to steal a tube of Pringles.

LAUGHTER

Jason, how do you know Claire?

This is Claire.

I once called her to drive my car

from the roof of a
multistorey car park

because I was too scared to.

LAUGHTER
Right.

David, what is your relationship
with Claire?

This is Claire,
and she is my dentist

whose earring I swallowed

mid-procedure.

LAUGHTER

Well, there we have it.

Is Claire Nick's burgled buddy,

Jason's multistorey mate,

or David's dozy dentist?

Lee's team, where do you start?

Jason, let's start with you.

How old were you? Um, I was...

like, 20. Have you just started
driving at this point?

Yeah, I'd just passed, so...

So you'd managed to get
to the top... Yeah, yeah.

Why did you find going
down worse than going up?

It was a different way down
than it was coming up -

one of them really tight
spirals, where you...

But it was a spiral going up,
too, wasn't it?

No, it was up the ramp and
then along the car park,

and then up the next ramp and
then along the car park, so...

Did you know Claire before?

Who is she? What's the relationship?
She's my friend's mum.

Friend's mum? Yeah, yeah.
Auntie, niece?

LAUGHTER

Which friend? Steve.

Oh, so Steve... Is Steve your age?

Steve's my age, yeah. And that's...?

I mean, you look about the same age.

And that's the mum?
LAUGHTER

She's, like, 55.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Oh, I don't know.

I tell you what, Jason,

if it's not your person and
you're not telling the truth...

No, I know her.

..this is going to be a hell of a
green room conversation, isn't it?

LAUGHTER

She looks phenomenal for it,
I'm just saying.

HARRY CHUCKLES

Keep going.

LAUGHTER

Why did you call
Claire of all people?

Claire worked...

Oh, where I parked was at the
Arndale Centre in Manchester,

and Claire works there.
What does Claire do?

Where does she work? Oh, I think
it's, like, the jewellers,

one of the jewellers in...

SARA: Hang on a minute,
how did you ring her?

Just on my phone. On your mobile?

Yeah. What, 20 years ago?

It wasn't 20... Come on, hey.

Come on now. 18 years ago?

It was... See, not nice, is it?

JASON AND ROB: 14 years ago.

14 years ago.

Jason is 34.

You're 34? Yeah.

That's not even a lie.

True!

LAUGHTER

Wow, have you had
a really hard life?

LAUGHTER

Yeah. And you had Claire's
work number on your cellphone?

She had a mobile number as well.

I had, like, Steve's mum's number.

You had your mate's mum's
number on your mobile?

Yes, I had my friend's mum's number.

What have you got it down as,
Sweet-cheeks Claire or...?

LAUGHTER

"Steve's mum." OK, who would
you like to question next?

OK, Nick.

So, you broke into
this lady's house...

for Pringles, did you say?

You mean the crisp or the jumper?

LAUGHTER

So, where did all this happen, Nick?

Paint the picture
for us, where are we?

We're on holiday.
We're on holiday. Where?

LAUGHTER

People at home are
now banging the TV.

Somebody hit pause.
LAUGHTER

Where were you?

I was in Italy.

Italy! Italy.

Well, that's narrowed it down.
Where in Italy were you?

I was in...

LAUGHTER

Pardon? Pause.

I'll give you a clue,
it could be Rome.

Rome?

LAUGHTER

Milan? Venice? Florence?
That's just...

Near Florence. Near Florence.

How do you and Claire
know each other?

She was also on holiday.

But I want to know, did you know
Claire before you went to Italy?

I did. So, you're near Florence,
you've got...

What, you've hired some cottages
close to each other?

Yeah, we're... Exactly.
And what happens?

I'm in my cottage,
raiding the larder...

Yes. ..looking for things to eat,

and I thought, "I know what I need."

Right. Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes.
Eh, Rob?

LAUGHTER

They are ludicrously tasty.

LAUGHTER

So, how did you get
into the cottage?

I sort of tried the... You know how
you get blinds on a holiday cottage,

those sort of shutters,
that's the word I'm after. Yeah.

So, I tried the shutters.

Spotting that one
was open, I thought,

"I tell you what,
I could probably...

"squeeze in."
What time of day was this?

Just before lunch. So, you
got in through the window...

Why didn't you wait for lunch, then?
LAUGHTER

Nice work.

So the shutter is a little bit open,

but isn't, on the other side
of a shutter, a glass window?

Yeah, but it wasn't locked. She's
not security-conscious, this woman.

I'm surprised she's working on
a jewellery counter, to be honest.

LAUGHTER

Or have I got these stories
mixed up? There we go.

How did you get out of the cottage?

I opened the door...
You opened the door.

..and I surreptitiously,

hiding the Pringles tube
down my shorts, I...

Baguette? My wife said,

"Are those curiously shaped crisps
or are you just pleased to see me?"

LAUGHTER
What was it? Did you never...?

LAUGHTER

Why didn't you go to the shop?

Cos we were on a holiday,
we weren't near a shop.

Why did you go on holiday at
a place that's not near a shop?

JASON: That's not a prerequisite
of a holiday, is it?

Are there shops, though?
That's what I need to know.

Never mind the view.

What I'm hoping for is a
Londis a two-minute walk away.

LAUGHTER

And then did you tell
Claire what happened

or are you telling her
this now on the telly

and she's finding it out
for the very first time?

That would be a
brilliant phone call.

"We'd like you to come along
to see your old friend Nick."

"Why?" "There's something
he wants to tell you."

LAUGHTER

When did she find out?

I think my children
revealed the secret.

Wouldn't it have been easier to have
one of them go through the window?

That is a very good point.

Why didn't you do that, Fagin?

LAUGHTER

All right now,
what about David?

David, can you just remind us
again how you know Claire?

This is Claire and
she's my dentist...

Oh, yes.

..whose earring I accidentally
swallowed mid-procedure.

OK. All right.
What kind of earring was it?

It was just a stud.

What was the procedure?

It was a dental...

A dental procedure.

LAUGHTER

It was actually, it was a cleaning.

Not a polishing, a cleaning.

I won't clean my teeth myself.

LAUGHTER

So you pay her at a dentists'
rate to do hygienist's work.

I want an expert.

LAUGHTER

I get a brain surgeon
to clean behind my ears.

LAUGHTER

What made it suddenly just fall out?

Cos that just doesn't happen.
Did you grab at her in terror?

No, I didn't, no...

"Help! I'm scared!"

LAUGHTER

You make me seem so sexy.

LAUGHTER

No, I think it was
just simply gravity.

Something has to ruffle your ears...

Yes. You have to...

Oh, David, you didn't!

LAUGHTER

Goodness sake, man.

You can't blame it on the novocaine,

you knew what you were doing.
LAUGHTER

So, you're laying back...

Yeah. ..in the dentist's chair,
or the hygienist's, chair... Yes.

..and she's leaning over you to use
the cleaning apparatus. Yeah.

It's hard to swallow even liquid

when the hygienist is
working in your mouth.

Mm-hmm. How did you manage
to swallow an earring?

Well, I didn't try to.

It just went...

And I felt just a slight...

So, you didn't...? I felt...
You didn't swallow at the time?

I felt nothing more
than a sort of...

No, I didn't go, "Ooh! Mmmm."

HE GULPS

So, you swallowed the earring -

do you get the earring back

and give it to Claire at
your next appointment?

That's a good question.

Did it ever get back to Claire?

It did not.

Did it...? I'm sorry,
I wasn't prepared to do that.

Were you sat on the
toilet at any point

and there was a sort
of definitive... Ping!

..a definite clink noise
as metal hit porcelain?

No. I think it must've
been deeply embedded in...

AUDIENCE GROANS

When you... Hang on.
Give us a minute.

LAUGHTER

It must have come out,
you know, mid-log. Yeah.

LAUGHTER

You could've at least used it

for a very unusual game
of pass the parcel.

LAUGHTER

Is "unusual"...?

Is "unusual" the adjective
you want to use?

It's probably not the right word.

"Unusual's" probably not
a strong enough word.

"Sorry, kids, the
clown's cancelled

"but in better news, David's
brought his little thing..."

LAUGHTER

"Start the music."

LAUGHTER

"I don't even want the earring."

LAUGHTER

All right, well, we need an answer.

What do we think? Cos I...

They're all sounding
unbelievable to me.

I tend to believe Jason.

Jason, you think he panicked
getting out of the car park.

Yeah. Sara, what do we think?
Well, I don't know.

I don't know if Nick was
being vague on purpose

about where the cottage was.

When they come to him
outside Number Ten,

have you ever noticed some,
like, crumbs of crisps

just falling from his mouth at
the last minute before he goes...?

And in the background,
a slightly opened window. Yes.

LAUGHTER

What about David, though?
I mean, you're not even...

Oh, we're actually
entertaining that?

So, what are you going to say?
I say, "Jason." You say, "Jason."

Oh, I'm drawn towards
Nick's story being true,

but I'm not... I don't know, I'm
happy to go with the boss man here.

I think we might have
to go with Jason.

You're going to say it's Jason.

OK. Claire,

would you please reveal
your true identity?

My name is Claire,

and Nick stole my Pringles.

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much, Claire.

I'm really sorry.

Which brings us to our final round,

Quick Fire Lies.

And we start with...

It's Lee.

"Possession."

Lee, if you step out
from behind the desk,

read the card first.

"When I ran out of petrol
with my kids in the car,

"the only way I could get to the
nearest garage quickly was on this."

LAUGHTER

Yeah.

Pop that down there, sir. Brilliant.

APPLAUSE

So, where did you break down?

I broke down just
after this round, crying.

LAUGHTER

It was a country lane.
Whereabouts in the world?

It was just somewhere
around Oxfordshire.

You're from Oxfordshire, aren't you?
Yes. Let's change that. Uh...

LAUGHTER

I was somewhere just
around Oxfordshire.

And this was in the car?

This was not in the car.
This belonged to a farmer.

LAUGHTER

It belonged to a farmer?

The smallest, campest
farmer you can imagine.

LAUGHTER

So I run out of petrol,
we're in the middle of nowhere,

I pull over, near
the hedgerow bit...

Yep. ..and then I remembered
passing a petrol station back there.

How far? A mile, half a mile?

About a mile and a half.
A mile and a half.

A mile and a half?

And you didn't just think,
"I'll walk a mile and a half."

Well, it's not, it's
three miles, isn't it?

Cos you've got to get back as well.

That's true. He's got you
there, hasn't he? Yes.

LAUGHTER

But I have to say... What with
you all Oxbridge and everything

and him having no education,
that's quite embarrassing.

LAUGHTER
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hang on.

But still, three miles,
that's not that far.

Three miles is a long way

when you've got children
in the car, crying.

Well, hold on, then,
if you did three miles on it,

you can definitely do four yards,

so let's have a look
at you on the bike.

And then... Let me finish the story.

LAUGHTER

..I remember, as I came back
with the petrol canister,

falling off and damaging my leg,

and vowing that day never...
LAUGHTER

..ever to ride one of
these beasts again.

APPLAUSE

Would you like me to demonstrate me
riding the bike?

I think so. I'm going
to kill you for this.

LAUGHTER
Go round the back... Yes.

..round the side of Sara,
you can do it from there.

OK, I'm not feeling as
young as I used to be,

so I may not be able
to do a wheelie.

Right.

Is it all coming back?

LAUGHTER

And he had a petrol can
as well, of course.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

That's it, keep going, keep going.

Over the ramp, over the ramp.

I've got the petrol can.

It's all... Ow!

I've gone over the...

I've got the petrol can.

I'm coming, kids! Kids,
I'm coming, stop crying!

Tell your mother not to
divorce me, I've got the can!

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Now I can see it would
have been a big help.

LAUGHTER

Can I make a comment? Yeah.
You're very out of breath.

Yes, I am. And you've
done one lap of this.

Now you're telling us that
you cycled three miles. Yes.

Do you remember having a coronary
arrest at the end of the journey?

I was a lot younger in those days.

Why, when was it?
This was just after Christmas.

LAUGHTER

Lee, what are you doing?

I'm thinking, in a minute,

I'm going to go wheelie
the bike to the edge...

They're saying in my ear,
"It seems like a very bad idea."

I say, "Let him have a go."

Oh, they're saying to
YOU this is a bad idea!

How do you think I feel?
LAUGHTER

What, you mean the
same people that said,

"Pretend you stole a child's bike
and went to a petrol station,"

and they're saying I'M
the one with the bad idea(!)

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Can I just say,
Rob... Come here.

You with your little body, come on.

LAUGHTER
Come on.

CHEERING

Will you help me on to it?

LAUGHTER

Right, I'll sit here
and do the easy bit.

IN WELSH ACCENT: Right, I think
I'm just going to make him

cycle around for a while.

I'm doing Rob Brydon.

Oh!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Fair play.

APPLAUSE

Do you want me to
help you on to the seat?

Come on, up, jump!

Thank you.
APPLAUSE

So, while Lee brings
that huge bike back up...

..what are you thinking?

Stop me if you object, but I think
we're going to say that it's a lie.

You're saying it's a lie. All right.

Yeah. It is, in fact...

APPLAUSE

Yes, it's a lie.

Lee didn't ride a child's
bike to a petrol station.

Stupid game!

LAUGHTER

Next.

It's Harry.

"At a White House drinks reception,

"I was asked to judge who could
do the best Mr Burns impression

"out of Barack Obama,
Bill Clinton and Bono."

Oh, please be true, please be true.

This is the best
thing we've ever had.

Yes!

What was the occasion?

They were honouring
music, musicians...

It's a...

They have about four or five of
these a year at the White House.

And why was there a Mr Burns...

a competition to sound like
Mr Burns at a musical event?

I was there,

and I think they thought it would be
a cute idea to have me, you know,

judge the thing because
people are always ASKING me

to do these voice things.

Do you generally say
no when people ask?

No, I don't. Good. Do it.

LAUGHTER

I mean I'd rather not ride
a miniature pink bike... Yeah.

..but, you know, we all go
with the cards we're dealt.

All right, so I will tell you
about your riding the pink bike,

that you were...

AS MR BURNS: Excellent.

APPLAUSE

One word gets a round of applause.

I cycled round twice...
LAUGHTER

..and I'm mocked.

And were they, like, the finalists?

They were the finalists, yes.

What did they get to say?

AS MR BURNS: "Release the hounds,"

"Excellent,"

and, uh, I think a couple more.

And who was the best?

I judged Barack Obama the best.

Very wise. Yeah.

LAUGHTER
He's...

It was his house. Yeah, absolutely.

Whereas Bono...?

His Burns was a little
too breathy, I thought.

Could you give us an
approximation of Bono's Burns?

DEEP AND BREATHY:
"Release the hounds,

"release the hounds."
Something like that.

IN MOCK IRISH ACCENT: "Oh, release
d'hounds, release d'hounds,

"release, release d'hounds."

Something like that?
No, it wasn't like that.

And what about...? Tom Jones?

LAUGHTER

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

AS TOM JONES:
"Release...the hounds."

APPLAUSE

And what about... Bill Clinton.

AS CLINTON: ..Bill Clinton?

AS CLINTON: "Well, you've gotta
release the hounds now."

LAUGHTER

AS CLINTON: I did not...

release...

those hounds...

With that woman.
..with that woman.

APPLAUSE

David, what are you
thinking about that?

Nick, you know how the
centres of power operate -

is this kind of ado...

It's totally plausible.
It's plausible that they'd have a...

competition like that?

I think so. They wouldn't...?

Obama, Clinton get on well.

Yeah, yeah.
Bono's everywhere, isn't he?

Bono's always there.
He's like Mickey Mouse,

there's one in each continent.

LAUGHTER

I think he's telling
the truth. Yeah?

Well, I think, you know, we...
You all say, "True?"

..can't imagine a party
at the White House, really.

We can't imagine what
that would be like.

I mean, you've been to
Buckingham Palace, haven't you?

I've been to a buffet at Dale
Winton's house, that's about as...

LAUGHTER
That's as close as I've got.

All right, what are you going to
say? I think we're saying it's true.

You're saying it's true? OK. Yeah.
Harry Shearer, truth or lie?

AS SMITHERS: "Sir, you
have to tell them now."

AS MR BURNS: "All right, I will."

LAUGHTER

Don't rush it, cos I
want to hear that again.

LAUGHTER

AS MR BURNS: "It was..."

APPLAUSE

BUZZER

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

and I can reveal that David's team

have won by three points to two.

APPLAUSE

Thanks for watching. Goodnight.

APPLAUSE

Unparalleled talent,
unprecedented access.

BBC Two takes a sneaky peek
behind the celebrity curtain.

One piece of advice...

Go out there, grab it with both
hands and stick it in your mouth.

Job done!

Easy peasy, get yourself
a catchphrase.
