"In a last-ditch UKIP political broadcast, Nigel Farage provides further evidence of foreigners using up valuable NHS resources." "And there are one or two teething problems with the newly designed uniform for Switzerland's elite armed response unit." "On Ian's team tonight is a comedian whose own show on Dave involved him riding around the UK on his motorbike whilst people on Twitter told him where to go." "That's Twitter for you." "Please welcome Ross Noble." "APPLAUSE" "And with Paul tonight, someone whose poems are now being taught in the GCSE curriculum currently under review by Michael Gove." "Twat." "Is the name of one of his poems." "Please welcome John Cooper Clarke." "APPLAUSE" "And we start with the big European election stories of the week." "Ian and Ross, take a look at this." "That's the new Godzilla film there." "Rarr!" "I will destroy the whole of Britain!" "Oh, a couple there sneaking out of the toilets, by the looks of things." "Oh, this is the main parties who've woken up to the fact that there is an election one day before it started." " And that UKIP might win it." " He's buying everyone flowers." "He's going, "Go on, just a couple of votes." "Go on." "Sniff 'em."" " Yes." " That's his slogan. "Labour, go on, sniff 'em."" "This is the news indeed that the Euro election is finally here." "Various questions have been asked in various polls of the electorate recently." ""Which leader looks the most weird," all that sort of stuff." "But which question in a recent poll in the Mirror had 38% of the people who were asked agreeing with it?" " Are you going to vote?" " No, it was..." " 38%?" " Yes." "So, there are 28 countries, over four days for voting." "The results are going to be announced on Sunday in a show hosted by Graham Norton." "Apparently." "Let's just take a little look at the main party leaders arriving to cast their vote with their partners." "Here's David and Samantha." "And Ed and Justine." "And here's Nick." "How has the Bulgarian political scientist Ivan Kratsev described the European Union?" "And these could be words from maybe one of your poems, John." " HE IMITATES JOHN'S ACCENT:" " A total waste of time." "That was John Cooper Clarke." "I thought that was you doing Bulgarian." "No, no." "That was Liverpudlian." " HE IMITATES JOHN:" "Welcome to Bulgaria." " No." "Ivan Kratsev actually said it was..." "That is my style - sclerotic." "Cos I'm a doctor now." " Are you an honorary doctor?" " Are you allowed to operate on people?" "Oh, absolutely." "Can you have a look at my feet after this?" "I'm more of an ears, nose and throat guy." "After the arrival this week of this new spin doctor," "David Axelrod, did Ed Miliband enjoy a successful, gaffe-free final week of campaigning?" "No, he had a disastrous week." "He went on local radio, Radio Wiltshire?" "And the DJ asked him about the local Labour leader on the council." "And Miliband didn't know who it was, but he pretended he did." "For people who haven't had the pleasure, I think we should maybe listen again to this." " What do you make of Jim Grant?" " I beg your pardon." " Jim Grant." "Do you think he's doing a good job?" "I think that lots of Labour representatives are doing a good job right across the country." " And, er..." " You do know who Jim Grant is, Mr Miliband?" " Well, you would enlighten me, I'm sure." " Swindon Labour leader." "Yes, I think he's doing a good job and I think..." "Will he feel you support him enough if you don't even know his name?" "He's doing a good job as leader of the council, Jim is." "And I think that's the case." "But he's not the leader of the council, is he, Mr Miliband?" "It's a Conservative-led council." "No, I think he's doing a good job for Labour on the council." " Fantastic." " Do you think he's going for the sympathy vote?" " Who was the guy in the hoodie?" " That was the Wiltshire DJ." "He looks like that guy that walks out of that open prison with the teeth..." "He's the DJ, though you obviously think he's Mr Skull Cracker." "That's it, Skull Cracker." "Hang on, a professional..." "No, not him." "I'm sure it was something like the Tooth Puller..." "Oh, right." "Sarcastic Dave." ""Call this a sub post office?" "!"" "No, it's very sad." "That was one incident, then he had another one." " Yes, he did, which was concerning..." " He didn't know how much bread costs." "Who does?" "How much?" "Mr Warburton." "You ask him, any size loaf - bang, straightaway." "Like that." "No, 80 quid, wasn't it?" "He said he spent 80 quid." "He was put under some tough forensic questioning when he appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain." "He was asked how much he spent a week on groceries." "And Ed Miliband said..." "That was just on the essentials." "That's just one loaf of bread and one thing of milk." "And the bloke on the market, he goes, "Miliband's coming. £80, please."" "The Good Morning Britain interview that started everything off, it did have a good start." "Ed Miliband was trailed at the top of the show." "See if you can spot the moment that he remembered" "Axelrod's instruction to smile." "Will Ed Miliband survive as leader?" "We'll ask him why half of Labour voters think he's the wrong man for the job." "He's not a natural, is he?" "And then he tries to look a bit pouty and sexy as well," " which is a worry." " It's right at the moment when they say," ""Will he survive as leader?" And even he laughs." "I've been away all week, Kirsty, and... what was that about Axl Rose telling him...?" "He'd probably be more use, the week he's had." "John, you've been in Ireland, how excited are they about the European elections?" "They don't give a monkey's." "I didn't see word one about it, frankly." "But they've got their own elections going on and they're amazingly old school about it." "It's all posters nailed to lampposts." "Guys in their best...you know, trying to look trustworthy." "But they all seem to fail, don't they?" "They all look like they should have "Dead or alive" underneath them." "Who's re-emerged into the spotlight after four years away?" "Vincent Price." "Chaka Khan, is it Chaka Khan?" "Chaka Khan?" "I only wish that were true." "It is Gillian Duffy, the woman previously..." "ROSS:" "Oh, the bigot woman." "Who was previously accused by Gordon Brown of being a bigot." "Of course, she's not a bigot." "ROSS:" "She's got the look of a bigot, though." "LAUGHTER" "Just...in my opinion." "I don't think that's quite enough to save you, I'm afraid." "The Daily Telegraph did an interview with her reporting that she regards Ed Miliband as..." "She said..." "And the triumphant conclusion of the Telegraph interview was..." "So this is Ed Miliband's latest most terrible week." "On Radio Wiltshire he didn't know the identity of..." "Nick Clegg would never be caught out not knowing the names of Lib Dem councillors - he's personally met both of them." "The Times interviewed celebrity hairdresser Charlotte Cave, who cuts Ed Miliband's hair." "Her description..." "As for his hair we have no idea." "Paul and John, take a look at this." "Right, OK." "Somebody keeping warm by burning the European flag." ""Er, I bought a wardrobe, I could not get it up the stairs." ""I tried, I tried." "I could not get it up the stairs." ""It must have been Romanian, I couldn't get it up the stairs."" "That would seem to be some candidate groping people in the shopping arcade." " So, it's European elections and all that stuff." " Yep." "Particularly it's Nigel Farage's last big election push." "He had a carnival cos he thought, "If everyone says I'm racist," " "I'll have a really successful carnival in London."" " Yes." " Well, in Croydon." " Yeah..." " And it didn't go so well." " Didn't it?" " No." " Why not?" " The Croydon Carnival...?" "!" "Surely, not(!" ")" "Was there trouble coming in from Purley?" "What happened about it?" " His basic idea was that he'd hired a steel band." " Yeah." "He thought that was multicultural." "And they turned up and said," ""God, we're not performing for UKIP." And they went off." "And then that bloke, Winston McKenzie..." "ROSS:" "Or "The Lunger" as he's known." " ..the local UKIP councillor..." " Yeah, yes." "..described Croydon as "a dump"." "And he was going to personally move to another country?" "Some anti-UKIP protestors turned up because they had heard that" "Nigel Farage was going to be there." "And then they started haranguing all the carnival organisers and when Farage didn't arrive, according to the Mail..." "Now, the name Winston McKenzie made me wonder - as you might imagine it would - whether or not we wanted to have a little quiz about some other famous McKenzies?" " Yeah!" " Who is this?" " Oh, that's Precious McKenzie..." " Yes!" " ..a weightlifter on Blue Peter." "Yes, it is!" "It's little tiny British weightlifter..." " ROSS:" "Did he?" " Yes, 1970s, 1960s, he was only 5'1" but always lifting huge things like the Blue Peter studio on his shoulders." " Running to Wigan with it and back." "Precious McKenzie." " Yeah." "Here he is lifting up Muhammad Ali." "Yeah." "And here is talented '70s footballer Duncan McKenzie." "Can you tell me one of his two special powers?" "Oh, yeah, throwing golf balls the length of a football pitch and jumping over cars!" "There he is!" "At last this programme has found my metier!" "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "I'm happy." " It's a topical news quiz for Paul's childhood!" " Yeah!" "As you say, Paul, he could throw a golf ball 125 yards." "Let's just take a look." "BRIAN MOORE:" "And on bleak morning at Elland Road last week, in his street clothes and with a slightly strained right shoulder, he still produced a throw there of some 111 yards." "As we look at it again in slow-motion, when it gets to the other end of the field it's a prodigious throw." "Just look at the edge of the six-yard area and you'll see that golf ball... bouncing down there by the six-yard area." "And, in fact, the Leeds United manager, Jimmy Armfield, and the Leeds players confirm that in warmer weather, and when is shoulder was in good trim," "Duncan McKenzie, in fact, had thrown the length of the pitch and onto the terracing at the far side, a distance of some 125 yards." "ROSS:" "That's the only clip from 1970s television you're still allowed to play on the BBC." "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "Now, originally, this started as a UKIP question..." "I know!" "It was a long time ago!" "Have you ever wondered where UKIP took their branding inspiration from?" "Yeah, Poundland." "Well, it could be from an episode of Blackadder The Third." "That's a character from the..." "Why have the main parties decided to stop calling UKIP racist?" "Cos it just encourages the voters." "Every time they say," ""Well, he's a bit of a racist", there's a poll and it just goes up." "People thinking, "Yeah, bit of a racist, yeah, that's for me, then." " "That's my vote."" " Well, according to the Guardian, the public don't actually think it's true but every time it happens..." "UKIP's rating does go up." "And what was it, particularly, that Nigel Farage said in that very rumbustious interview about Romanians?" "ROSS:" "If they moved in next door - if just men, that's what he said, they'd have a problem with just Romanian men." "And the interviewer said, "What if it was, like, German children?"" "He said that was fine but then it was just Romanian MEN!" "# Hallelujah, it's... #" "And he broke into song and he ripped off his thing..." "HE HUMS TUNE" "APPLAUSE" "And it turned out he had a spangly outfit on underneath." "Purple spangles - who knew?" "It was on YouTube, that interview." "I would advise everyone to go and see it." "It's really very, very funny indeed." "He goes, "Well, what's the problem with that?"" "And his comeback was, "Oh, you know." ""You know."" " He did..." " What a great way of..." "Like, every time Paxman's talking to him - "What about this?"" ""Oh, I think you know." ""I think I don't have to tell you." ""Ooohhh!"" "How did Farage then try to backtrack on what he'd said about Romanians?" "The day after the interview." "He said he'd been a bit tired." "He's just a bit overtired." "Yeah, that's exactly what he said." "He said..." "The form of words, presumably, he would have liked to have used is" ""They're all a bunch of thieving gypos", I would imagine." "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "Ian, I do wonder what your old Romanian mate, the 1972 Wimbledon Men's Singles finalist, Ille Nastase, might make of all of this." "You did play him, didn't you?" "LAUGHTER" "I did play tennis with Nastase once and won a doubles tournament." "I don't know why that's of any interest to anybody." "Except me, cos we won." "I thought when she said you played him, I thought you meant, like, in a biopic of his life." " He was mayor of somewhere or other in Romania." " Was it Sibiu?" "It could well have been." "Have you been there?" "Yes, I have, it's brilliant." "I love Romania." "I think more of them should come over." "Yeah." "I think Farage just doesn't like them cos they sound like Dracula." "If somebody moved in next door to me and was like," "DRACULA VOICE: "Velcome..." I'd be, like, "Yes!" "Come on!"" " DRACULA VOICE:" " "You have an interesting patio in your garden."" "You wouldn't see much of them, would you, in the day?" "Well, it's win-win for Farage, isn't it?" "Just, you know, he's not going to see his neighbours cos they'll be in the coffins." "We shouldn't forget that there is another party on the right - the Conservative Party." "What was David Cameron up to in the latter stages of his Euro election campaigning this week?" "He went on a walkabout with Boris." "He thought," ""If we're going to have a nutter-vote," ""I'm going to have some of it."" "In fact, at one point on his little walkabout they actually sat down" " and he was photographed waiting for a train with Boris." " Really?" " Yes." "Interesting contrast in body language." "One seems to be ready and waiting for any opportunity that might come along... and the other one remembers he's a married man." "ROSS:" "It's a very long tie Boris has got on there, isn't it?" "Shouldn't it stop, like, above the gentleman's area?" "No, it's clipped to the bottom with a padlock!" "Has it got Velcro and he's just put it on his balls?" "This is Nigel Farage, who failed to turn up for a UKIP event in Croydon." "Nigel Farage didn't turn up at the UKIP rally in south London where there were ugly scenes." "Now, that's either a protestor in Croydon, or his driver at Gatwick, waiting to pick him up." "A good portion of the country only know the European elections are happening because of all the cheaply-printed leaflets that are being shoved through their letter box, which could well lead to one seat in the European Parliament going to" "Margherita Crusty-Base of the Pizza Hut Party." "Actually, I voted this morning and that would have been quite a good option." "Incredible, the number of people on the ballot sheet." " It's, like, that long." " Yeah." "My favourite one - did you see at the bottom?" " the Roman Party." " Yeah!" " That was amazing!" "Someone's travelled from the past!" " The Roman Party." " Imagine he got my vote." "Bring back the classics" "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" " But Farage was on our bit of paper." " Yes, yes, he was." "And it's quite scary when you drive around, like, rural Kent, and there's so many UKIP posters." "If you go on Google Earth it looks like a bruise." "It's on now to Round Two, the Picture Spin quiz." "Fingers on buzzers, teams." "BUZZER" "It's a football, it's a candle, it's a birthday cake." "Yaya Toure, Manchester City player, got very upset because nobody bought him a birthday cake for his birthday" " and he now wants to get a transfer." " Is that true?" " Yeah, course it is." " You don't think I'm making it up?" " It's almost true." " Almost true." "Except it's about the Queen opening the palace in..." "Rochdale, dedicated to the memory of a cocker spaniel she once knew in 1934." "As you say, the argument actually began..." " They did get him a birthday cake." " Yeah." " But apparently, that just wasn't good enough, because Yaya's agent, Dimitri Seluk, pointed out..." "That is revolting(!" ")" " You can rent them, though." " Yes." "Do you know how much Yaya Toure is reputed to be paid?" "Is it £70 a week?" "Is it enough to buy some groceries for the Milibands?" "Round about 220 grand a week." " Right." " So he can afford a cake." " Do you know what he had to say about the matter?" " "I am disgusted." ""Obviously shows that I am not worth anything to this club" ""and I want to sign for somebody else who'll pay more money."" "Responding to his agent's comments about his birthday, he tweeted..." "And then an hour later he tweeted:" "John, you're from Manchester, are you a big Yaya Toure fan?" "Well, wrong team, I'm afraid, but even less so after the old cake fiasco." "He could buy Greggs." " Every branch." " Every branch." " Every branch." "APPLAUSE" "David Cameron has waded into the world of football this week." " Who did he say he would have sacked, were he able?" " Richard Scudamore." "Yeah, exactly, the head of the Premier League, after e-mail exchanges between Scudamore and his lawyer friend Nick West were leaked to the Sunday Mirror." "Who was it that leapt to Mr Scudamore's defence?" "John Inverdale." "ROSS:" "Jim Davidson?" " It was West Ham vice chair Karren Brady." " Oh, yes." "She defended Scudamore, saying..." "And she should know, working for a club owned by two men who made their fortune selling..." "To be fair, though, Hardcore Housewives could just be housewives that like to get a lot done." "You know what I mean?" "They could just be..." " Not just their house." "Other people's." " Exactly." ""That's not clean." "I'm sorry, I'm not picking the kids up" ""till that's clean."" "I prefer your world." "Although you would be disappointed if you got Hardcore Housewives and flicked through - "Blimey, everything's very clean in this."" "Which would-be poet is likely to lose their job this week?" "Is it the baker?" "It's the cheeky baker..." " It is the cheeky baker." " ..who's been the bored baker." "He's been putting these haikus in packets of biscuits in branches of Sainsbury's." "We'll take a look at them." " Yeah, that's a haiku, that, innit?" " The next one..." " Hey, he's good." "He's on fire." " Yeah." "What do you make of this one, John?" "AUDIENCE GROANS AND LAUGHS" " That's good news from the guy who's baking your stuff." " Yes - reassuring." "Who knew he was an incurable romantic?" " What are the rules?" " Got to be three lines." "Five-seven-five syllables." "Like this one..." ""Smarter men than I" ""Have been total idiots" ""I've met them all."" "Or, "To freeze the moment" ""In 17 syllables" ""Is very diffic..."" "That's the one that I'm most known for." "APPLAUSE" "This is Yaya Toure and the furore about his..." "Was that a haiku you just did?" "Was there a rhyme in there?" " No, there's no rhyme in it." " Oh, there's no rhymes." " Can you do that one again as a limerick?" " Yeah." " Yaya Toure had a bit of a furore..." " Who set off a furore." " He wanted a cake..." " But a terrible mistake..." "They said, "This is a rubbish story."" "Boom!" "APPLAUSE" "That was like a posh version of 8 Mile." "This is Yaya Toure and the furore..." "See what I mean?" "This is Yaya Toure and the stramash about his disappointing 31st birthday party..." "JOHN:" "Oh, you're good." "..where, apparently, he celebrated being six years old." "Manchester City have tried to make amends by buying him a princess outfit." "You ever had a birthday cake on this show, Paul?" "No, never had a birthday cake." "But my birthday's in July, when we're not on." "But I don't really think that's a good enough reason." "My birthday's in July as well." " What day in July?" " 13th." " The same day as mine!" "Daddy!" "No, can't be..." " What date is it?" " July the 9th." " Oh, right." " That's not particularly sad but thank you." "I was hoping for July the 10th but you know what mums are like." "Right, fingers on buzzers, teams." "BUZZER" "Theresa May - she's taken off the helmet part." "She's terrified of the police." "She's given a speech to the Police Federation, saying," ""We're going to cut off all your money." "You're absolutely useless" ""and you need reform and we're not asking you, we're telling you."" "And usually, the Tories, they go to the police events and everyone claps and they say," ""You're marvellous and we need more of you on the beat."" "And she just said, "You're rubbish."" "And they all said, "Oh!" "Police brutality!"" "What measures precisely did Theresa May say had already been taken against the Police Federation?" " Well, they've cut their money." " Yeah - £190,000 has been cut." " Well, they're sitting on a vast pile of money." " Yeah." "Some of which they use to sue satirical magazines who write things about the police." "Well, you're quite right, they're sitting on these huge amounts of money." "The government say there's now going to be an inspection of Police Federation accounts and the money being held in them, and there is..." "What is that frock?" "I can't get past it." "Is she standing in it?" "She's worried that she's going to be tasered." "ROSS:" "If you...if you look at it from the other side, she's actually holding both of them by the throat." " You cleaned that one up." " Yes." "I certainly did." " They don't call them "truncheons" any more." " No." "Call them batons." "Or a nightstick, I believe." "Oh, hello." "Can't disperse crowds with it, though." "Theresa May's speech was met with anger by the Police Federation." "She was forced to leave the conference hall out through the delivery entrance at the back, otherwise known as the "Pleb Gate"." "OK, fingers on buzzers, teams." "Berlusconi appeared on Newsnight." "And Jeremy Paxman asked him a series of quite rude questions." "ROSS:" "This, weirdly, all took place at the Chelsea Flower Show." "In the Bunga Bunga Garden." "LAUGHTER" "You can tell his hair's been sprayed for greenfly, anyway, looking at it." "So, yes, this is Jeremy Paxman's rather fruity interview with Silvio Berlusconi." "Let's take a little look." "Do you have a particular problem with Angela Merkel?" "Is it true you called her an unfuckable lard arse?" "LAUGHTER" "SCATTERED APPLAUSE" "TRANSLATION:" "No, I have never had any problems with Angela Merkel." "In 20 years of politics, I have never insulted anyone." "LAUGHTER" "Is that really what he said?" "Cos, judging by his hands there, I think he was going," ""Yes, I love it, it's a big lard arse!" ""If anything, it is the most fuckable thing ever!" ""Oo-er!"" "And the translator's going, "No, I never did that." ""Um, I've never insulted her."" ""It's lovely!" "I squeeze it all the time!"" "Look at him there!" "Look at him!" "LAUGHTER" "Jeremy Paxman does have the air of a man who's not staying around for much longer, doesn't he?" "In the programme, I meant." " It's a bit demob happy, isn't it?" " Yes." ""Last day, I'd say anything." "I know, I'll say..."" "LAUGHTER" "Go on." "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" " No!" "No!" " No!" " No!" "Could you, if you really wanted to?" " Uh, no." " No." "It'd be like finding out that entertainers from your childhood were sort of..." "No, no, forget it." "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "So, we saw Berlusconi there claim that he's never insulted anybody in his 20 political years." "Um, does anyone believe that?" "No, it's a complete lie!" "Let's just look at the insult he threw at Obama." "He said..." "GASPING" "He insulted gay people." "He said..." "And he insulted all Italians." "He said..." "LAUGHTER" "You know what his next job is?" "He's standing for UKIP!" "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "He also, during this interview with Paxman, explained why he once hid from Angela Merkel." "Let's hear his explanation." "And the time when you jumped out from behind a monument and went, "Cuckoo!"" "to Angela Merkel, that was just a joke, was it?" " TRANSLATION:" " She enjoyed it." "I explained why I did the cuckoo thing." "A few days earlier," "I had been to Saint Petersburg to visit Putin..." "HE SPEAKS ITALIAN" ""Cuckoo!"" " TRANSLATION:" " Putin hid behind a pillar and did "Cuckoo!" to me from behind." "SUSTAINED LAUGHTER" "I don't know where to look!" "These are world leaders... deciding our future." ""Cuckoo!"" "I don't know if you noticed this week but Jeremy Paxman thanked his production team for his leaving gift." "It was a lifelike ventriloquist's dummy." "LAUGHTER" "Meanwhile, where was Prince Philip this week?" "He's furious." "He's had a hand operation." " I've seen in a picture of him in a horse and cart." " Well, that's..." "In the driving seat, like, not in the back." "Yeah." "I think that was the week before last." "This week he visited a family planning clinic in London and told staff..." "He hasn't lost it, has he?" " Would you like to see Prince Charles admiring a bust?" " Mm." " Yes." "Is that made out of butter or sponge or is it actually stone?" "No, I think that's Camilla." "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "HE MOUTHS" "Now it's on to the Odd One Out round." "Your four are " "Tomsk the Womble," "Simferopol dubnium, and John Cooper Clarke." "Blimey!" "The third one, dubnium," " is that some sort of chemical element?" " It is, yes." " Right, OK." "Is it something being taught at school?" "Something to do with that?" "Cos John's on a syllabus here." "I think John should think about his other name." "And that might give a good clue." " What, Cooper?" " No." "Your other performing name." "Mavis Roberts?" "It is - or it was Lenny...?" " Oh, Lenny Siberia." " Yeah." " Yeah." "How did you know about that?" "Wow, yeah." "They're all from Siberia." "Can I just ask, is Tomsk wearing a UKIP hat?" "He's saying, "Siberians go home."" " Their name is all Siberia..." " Yes." " Not quite Siberia." "The bigger picture." " I've no idea." " OK." " Dubnium, named after Dubsteps." " Dubsteps?" " Yeah." " They're the tribute band, are they?" "Yeah." "Was that discovered by Russian scientists?" "JOHN:" "It's a doorknob from the V and A Museum." " No." " I think you better tell us." "They have all used a name taken from Russia, apart from the Crimean city of Simferopol, which politicians want to rename Putin City." "Putin has already given his name to a few things." "Does anyone know any examples?" "Putin's bucket." "No, there is a vodka." " ROSS:" "Is there a small crazy golf course?" " Yeah." "Putt-in..." "Never mind." "Doesn't matter, doesn't matter." "Walk away from it." "Walk away." "Walk away from the wordplay." "There's a mountain in Kyrgyzstan called..." "And, of course, at Berlusconi's mansion there is even..." "Although I think that's in the annexe, actually, to be fair." "John, why did you call yourself Lenny Siberia?" "I needed to join Equity to do a Sugar Puffs advert." " I can't say that - a breakfast cereal advert." " Was it Sugar Puffs?" "It was Sugar Puffs." " I'll level with you." " Yeah." "And the Honey Monster was called John Cooper Clarke." " You did one for chips last year." " I did, McCain, yeah." " Did you write the poem?" " Happy days." "No." " Oh, I really liked it." " I did Domino's Pizza five years ago." " I missed that one."

"I'd seen all the scare stories on the TV about how the hospitals would be overloaded and every family in the country, they said, would be nursing a precious family member at home with this highly contagious," "possibly life-threatening virus." "And I thought," ""Well, there's not many nourishing meals you can slide under the door."" "LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE" "In case anybody was wondering, dubnium is the 105th element on the periodic table." "It was named after the Russian town of Dubna, where it was first created." "They have all used a name taken from Russia apart from the Crimean city of Simferopol, which politicians want to rename Putin City." "Tomsk is named after a city in Russia." "The Wombles live in a tiny burrow on Wimbledon Common, which they moved into in 1973, and it's now worth £8.6 million."
