(Applause)
Well, hello, hello, hello.
And welcome to another glamour-filled QI night of a thousand stars.
Spread-eagled on my casting couch are...
Josie Lawrence... (Applause)
the stunning Johnny Sessions, the gorgeous pouting Rich Hall,
and Alan Davies.
Well, let's see you toy with your globes, girls.
Um, see if anyone rings my bell. Rich.
(Bell)
Johnny. (Higher-pitched bell)
Josie. (Higher-pitched bell)
And Alan.
(Breathy male voice) Well, hello. (Audience laughs)
Ding dong.
Oh, there we are. Very nice.
And so, to question one. What eat clothes?
Ding dong. (Audience laughs)
- I don't know. I just wanted to do that. (Laughs)
- What eats clothes? - Yeah.- Moths eat clothes.
- Moths? - Yes.
(Siren) (Audience laughs)
Oh, no they don't.
They make holes in them, though, don't they?
Not moths, no. Their larva.
Their little caterpillars do, but not the moths.
See? You see? (Bell)
Larva. (Laughs)
- So, by the time you see a moth, it's... - It never eats...
- BOTH: Too late. - And you very rarely do.
They're only a quarter of an inch long, the actual moths.
Supposedly there are fewer of them due to synthetic materials,
which they don't eat, and dry-cleaning.
- If you dry-clean something, it works as well as a mothball. - Really?
That camphor and naphthalene smell.
- I don't think I've ever smelt one. - Have you not?
- Too young. - It's horrible. It's like a dead body.
A mothball in this hand, a mothball in that hand - what have I got?
Two mothballs.
- A rather excited moth. - Oh, right.
(All laugh)
Sorry, I thought you were literally asking.
No. It's alright.
I've never smelt a dead body either.
No, I haven't. I've never seen a dead body.
They say a policeman thinks once you've smelt death
it's just... it never gets out of your nostrils.
- But, I'll tell you something quite interesting. - Yeah?
It's that... (Audience laughs)
Leopards eat rotting flesh. They don't mind it.
- Cheetahs will only eat fresh. - Oh, really?
They eat when they've killed, there and then,
and they eat as quickly as they can.
Otherwise a lion will come over and have it off them.
- Hmm. - But a leopard will drag something up into a tree.
and leave it there days on end, go back, have a bit more.
- Even if it's green and maggoty... - Oh!- Don't care.
There's a new theory
about Tyrannosaurus rex being a scavenger -
not in fact going and attacking big hairy-arsed monsters,
but waiting until they were daed and rotting, like an old Stilton,
- and then eating them. - Yeah, yeah.
In Jurassic Park 2,
a Tyrannosaurus rex eats a man who's sitting on the loo.
That's right.
Do you think that's inaccurate, then?
What it is, is... Yeah? (Audience laughs)
- But he's an accountant. - He's an accountant.
Well, there you are. Yes. Moths don't eat clothes.
Their larva do, their caterpillars.
Anyway, um... Next question is - why butterflies?
- Wow, that's a short question. - Isn't it? Two words.
Do you mean why are they called that?
It doesn't actually mean that, no.
It means why do they... who do they exist?
- Why are they? - Yeah.
I think it's evil to put a food in front of any bug,
to name like it a butterfly,
'cause I would eat butterflies when I was a kid,
because I thought they had butter in 'em.
- Ohhh. - And honey bees.
There are two theories as to why... (Audience laughs)
And a hamster.
(All laugh, applaud)
'Cause, you know, you're four years old - you don't know better.
And we were poor.
Well, there are two theories as to why they're called butterflies.
One is that it's from a Dutch word which means 'excretes butter' -
there was this theory that they actually shat butter.
Early on.
And the other is that it's from Anglo-Saxon -
that the most common butterflies in England
when the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain,
were yellow and were butter-coloured -
it's as boring as that.
But, no, the reason they exist...
They're quite a late addition, as it were, to the family of creatures.
They...when do they start, then, butterflies?
They were around when I was a kid. (Audience laughs)
Yes. For a hundred million years before butterflies evolved,
moths had been around,
and it's generally believed that butterflies
were kind of an evolution from moths,
because moths have one big disadvantage.
What is it about moths that's different from butterflies...
Night - they go around at the night, in the night.
Yeah, and they get eaten a lot.
- Butterflies go in the day. - Yeah.
- And the moths have been eaten a lot by bats. - By bats.
And so, the idea was, that the butterflies...
- That's a bat. - Yeah. There's a bat.
Seen a moth there.
Yeah... Well, not seeing, but hearing.
- So, it's heard a moth? - Yeah.- Sensed a moth.
Sensed a moth. Exactly.
The precision of their echolocation is remarkable.
If you put cotton wool in their ears, they are useless, aren't they?
They bounce off the wall like... Canadian squash balls.
This is how it was discovered. It was actually in the 18th century.
A French scientist put cotton wool in the ears of bats,
and reali... and saw that they were...
And so he posited the idea that they had this extra sense.
And then it was pooh-poohed, and for 150 years it wasn't reconsidered,
and we now know that he was absolutely right -
that they send out these signals that bounce back, exactly like sonar,
only much more effective than sonar.
- That's why they never bump into you as well at night. - That's right.
People get scared of bats, and they go like that,
but they'd never ever bump into you - they'd always...
I saw David Attenborough being interviewed, in which he said,
he once did a piece to camera for Life On Earth or something,
about bats, saying one thing that's never true about bats
is you never get them caught in your hair.
It's never true. They have such accur...
Bats immediately flew into his head while he was...
- Stephen, can I tell you something about David Attenborough... - Go on.
..'cause he is my god.
Ages ago, they're doing a column in one of the papers -
who would you most like to be like?
And, so I said David Attenborough -
I love the career he's had, I love his wisdom,
I love his sense of adventure.
And a couple of weeks later, the article came out.
It was actually - who would you most like to look like?
(All laugh)
So, there's a lovely picture of me next to David,
and then like Victoria Wilcox next to Audrey Hepburn.
..to go from David Attenborough to Richard Attenborough.
And when he was directing the great Ben Kingsley in Gandhi.
You probably know there were, I think, maybe a million,
possibly even two million, extras, during Gandhi's funeral,
and the first assistant, the very famous, undoubtable, David Tomblin
was told by Sir Dicky Attenborough to instruct the crowd
as to how they may react.
And he said to David Tomblin, he said,
'I want you to convey to them, David, that Gandhi has died,
and it's an extraordinary event, darling -
extraordinary event in the whole history of India, darling -
that Gandhi has gone - their god, their national hero, is gone.'
So David Tomblin turned to the crowd and he said,
'Right, listen up. Gandhi's dead and you're all (Bleep) sad.'
(All laugh)
Excellent.
Very good.
I don't have an anecdote, but I have a joke.
- Go on. - They're much better.
We're open to jokes too.
Two vampire bats in a cave, flying around and...
You know, they like blood. Haven't had any in a while.
One of 'em goes out on a recon.
Comes back. Face just covered in blood.
The other bat's beside himself, and says,
'Wow. What happened?'
And he points to this village. The bat, well he flaps to it.
'See that village over there?' and the other bat says, 'Yeah.'
'See that steeple?' 'Yeah.'
'I didn't.'
(All laugh)
So, moths have to devise strategies to beat the bat.
And some have evolved to hear the bats -
echolocation, screeching, which humans can't hear.
As you know, it's very high.
And other ones decided to live during the day,
and they became butterflies.
Now, moths are alright at night -
they like being in the dark, they like living in clothes in cupboards.
Yeah.
So, what is this thing they have about candles and...
Isn't it mad? I agree with you that...
The light in the porch. Mad for that.
There you are - you're a nocturnal animal, you're attracted to light.
Well, then, get up in the morning. You'll have lots of it.
Another question. Compared to bats, do owls ring any bells?
(Bell)
- Josie's ringing a bell. - Yes.
Well, it's like what we've just been talking about, I think.
It's something to do with sonar.
- Yeah, you're absolutely right. Why not have a point? - Oh, thank you.
When it was first... They first tried to experiment
with how bats could see so well in the dark,
they put owls and bats in a very, very dark room,
with some bells hung from ropes.
And if it was slightly low light,
the owls could see well enough to avoid the ropes.
But if it was pitch black, they would fly into the ropes,
because they couldn't see them.
Whereas the bats, if it was pitch black, just flew around,
and didn't ring any bells.
And so, that's how it was first seen
that bats could manoeuvre in the dark without bumping into anything.
So the flatter an owl's face, the bigger a bell it's run into.
- Yeah. - Yes, probably. Exactly.
- That's why it's called an owl. OW! - They are...
(All laugh)
I have an AGA. Um, yes, I know I should be shot, but I do.
And it kept going out. Oh, I got the AGA person to come down...
- What, down the shops, or... - No.
(All laugh)
- It kept... - Imagine you're out shopping, and you see your AGA.
You rush over, and just as you get there, it's not there.
and you keep losing it.
And so the AGA man kept coming,
and he kept saying, 'It's perfectly fine.'
And it kept going out again.
So eventually he said, 'I've got to stay overnight,' he said.
This wasn't... Come on...
(Audience laughs)
'Cause he would come during the day, light it - it was perfect.
In the morning I'd ring him up and say, 'It's gone out overnight,'
and he couldn't work it out.
What it turned out was, it was an owl -
would roost on the top of the cowling of the flue,
'cause it liked the warm air up it or whatever.
And it would cover itself over it, and it would block it out.
And stop it, so there is a safety device.
If you block the chicken... The chicken...
If you block the... (Audience laughs)
..the chimney, the chimney of an AGA, it goes out.
Anyway, that's my owl-AGA story.
It wasn't worth telling. I'm pissed. Never mind.
(Audience laughs, applauds)
So there we are. Ringing the bells. Our next question. What is batology?
Batology. There's the word on your screen. What is it?
It is NOT the study of bats.
Correct. (Audience laughs)
You've saved yourself a big forfeit. Well done.
(Applause)
There you are.
Can you give us a clue, or is that not allowed?
It's fruit. Batology is the study of a particular fruit.
A fruit that has two words for it in English,
- both of which begin with B. - Banana...
It's a native to Britain. (Gasps)
And you can either call it a bu or a bu.
Apple...
Anyone in the audience?
- Blum... - WOMAN: Bramble or blackberry.
Bramble or blackberry. The audience is well up there.
- Blackberries. - The study of blackberries. Very good.
Well done. You may say it's not worth studying,
but there are over 1000 different species of bramble.
No, there aren't.
(All laugh)
The study of bats is actually chiropterology.
Alan, ther's a plot for you here, mate,
- in your Jonathan Creek... - Oh, yeah?
You've got an old lady, come in, she's been picking blackberries,
someone's been killed in the village, stabbed,
and you go, 'She might be a batologist' - just a thought.
(All laugh)
So, now, what is batophobia?
Fear of blackberries. (Audience laughs)
(Siren)
(Applause)
Oh, dear. I'm sorry. You ought to be right. Ought to be...
And surely no-one's ever had fear of blackberries.
Quite. Exactly. So, it isn't. (Audience laughs)
No, a batophobe is actually...
It's a fear of being close to tall buildings.
Panic attacks. Irregular heartbeat. Sweating. Nausea.
And an overall feeling of dread.
I've got it. (Audience laughs)
Other phobias like that are bathophobia, the fear of depths.
Alan. Um...
(Audience laughs)
The fear of profundancy of any kind. No, uh...
What is battology? Battology spelt thus...
Batteries. The study of batteries.
- No, it's not that. Nice thought. - It is.
(Audience laughs)
There's no other word in English with B-A-T-T at the beginning...
- 'Battle'? - 'Battle' is the other one.
(All laugh)
- 'Batter'? - 'Batter' is another one.
'Batten' - batten down the hatches - is another one.
Apart from those three...
It reminds me of the story of someone who was saying that 'sugar'
is the only English word that begins with S-U,
but where the S is pronounced 'sh'.
And someone called out, 'Are you sure?'
(Audience laughs)
Battology means pointlessly repeating the same thing over and over again.
Oh, my god.
Battology means pointlessly repeating the same thing over and over again.
Some people do that, don't they?
I've got a friend who always repeats himself.
His name's Dave, and we call him Dave Javoo.
Oh! Very good. (Audience laughs)
Is Dave aware he does it. Is he total...
Yeah, 'cause people said to him,
'You say everything twice. That's why we call you Dave Javoo.'
(Audience laughs)
'I say everything twice. I say everything twice, like.'
(Audience laughs)
'They call me Dave Javoo. They call me Dave Javoo.'
(Audience laughs)
We're moving on to births, but first Swedish girls.
What happened to every eight-year-old Swedish girl in the year 1994?
(Bell) Young Rich.
From what I understand, there were no eight-year-old girls in 1994,
because in 1986 every child born in Sweden was a boy,
just purely by...
(All laugh)
- Pure law of averages. - A genealogical freak.
No, no, let me give you the answer, which is
that they had their ninth birthdays...
If we believe the official statistics, alright,
there were exactly 112,521 eight-year-old girls in Sweden
on 1st January 1994,
and there was exactly the same number of nine-year-olds
on 1st January 1995.
And this is unique in statistics, because none died, none emigrated -
precisely the same number survive a whole year.
But in Britain in 1994, you might be interested to know,
there were an astonishing range of accidents
reported by the Trade and Industry's Consumer Safety Unit
Home Accident Surveillance System report.
Eight people in the UK in '94 were injured by placemats.
(Audience laughs)
Thirteen sustained cruet injuries.
Five were wounded by dustpans.
Eight suffered as a result of a breadbin accident.
Five were hurt by sieves.
14 fell foul of a serving trolley.
17 were treated for injuries caused by a draught excluder.
476 people were injured while on the lavatory.
There you are. Underwear hurt 11 people.
How many of those people were drunk?
Well, exactly - that's a very interesting point.
Well, how many of them were sexually experimentative, as it were?
You know - you go to the doctor - 'I was just sitting down in the nude,
and this cruet happened to get stuck...'
That's why in the hospital they use acronyms for...
You know, like GOMER, which is 'get out of my emergency room'.
- Oh, really? - Or SARA, which is sexual activity-related accident.
It's called SARA.
There's an acronym they have in my part of the world,
which doctors apparently put on patient notes, which is NFN -
- which stands for 'normal for Norfolk'. - Yes.
(All laugh)
On the positive side of 1994,
tea-cosy damage was down from 3 in '93, to nil,
so we cleared up the menace of tea-cosy damage.
Who knows? Who knows?
People don't use them very often, do they, nowadays?
No, because they're so dangerous.
- Lethal. - Lethal!
Now, what was the biggest tourist attraction in Canada
between 1934 and 1943?
(Ding dong.)
Ah, beaten to the buzzer by Leslie Davies.
Niagara Falls.
Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. (Siren)
Oh, no, no. No, no, no.
Canada's a relatively young country.
and I'm not sure how much of it there was at that time.
Was it finished by the '30s?
As it were, I think more or less, yes.
'Cause Alberta's only about 80 years old.
- I know, I know the story, I know it. - Yes?
(Bell) (Laughs) Yes?
- It's a really sad story, actually... - Yes.
..and didn't they have sextuplets or octuplets...
- Quins, in fact. - Qu...
- Quintuplets. - Quintuplets.- You're absolutely right.
- And everyone came to see them. - There they are.
And they were taken away from their parents
- and made to live in a house across the road. - Exactly right.
Exactly right. It was the Dionnes, they were known as.
There were these five girls who were born from a single egg,
to a rather poor family,
and the father started talking about exhibiting them himself,
because they were very famous.
In those days before all kinds of fertility treatments,
it was much rarer to have these kinds of multiple births.
So, the government took over and put them in a hospital,
and then slowly the hospital started to admit people,
and it became the single biggest attraction in Canada.
But, after nine years, the parents successfully got their girls back,
but at the age of 18 they all left.
Two are still alive, and in '98, Mike Harris, who was the Prime Minister,
travelled to apologise to the two remaining ones,
and give them $4 million as compensation,
and apologise on behalf of Canada...
- Four million Canadian dollars. - Canadian dollars.
(Laughter drowns speech)
Throw 'em a bone.
Alan, a question for you.
Name all the events at the first-recorded Olympic Games
in the year 776BC.
Discus. (Siren)
Have another go.
Javelin. (Siren)
No, no. Try harder.
- Hammer. - No! Dear, oh, dearie me.
(Siren)
No, no. I think that way madness lies.
- That was running. - Yes, running is the answer.
- Running was running just one race. - Just one race.
And if you get the distance, I will be astonished.
- Two hundred metres. - That's damn close.
(Siren)
It's unfair. It's very unfair.
I think you've taken enough forfeits,
because there was just one event, and it was 192m.
(Laughs)
Which is the modern equivalent. It's a stadium, the length of a stadium.
And that was the only race in the first Olympic Games.
That was the Olympic Games?
- The first recorded one. - Yeah.
But they later discovered and indeed included discus and javelin,
or wrestling and boxing - and all the things you've mentioned.
But, unfortunately, the first recorded one was just one...
When was the first recorded one?
776BC.
Now, the next question,
which is a subsidiary to this first recorded Olympics is,
what was the naked chef doing there?
(Ding dong.) (Audience laughs)
Yes. Is that a response to the buttocks, or...
- Yeah. A fine pair. - For what?
Um, naked cooking for the athletes?
No. Not quite.
Preparing meals for the judges. Selling food to the audience.
Won the race?
Yes! Quite right.
Ah.
The winner was a cook.
(Applause)
His name was Coroebus of Elis, and he was a cook,
and like all the contestants was naked.
- And they all ran in the nude. - All ran in the nude...
- How wonderful. - Even the trainers.
I would like to have seen the triple jump.
- How about the pole vault? - Oh, don't.
He... Coroebus of course won by a short head. No...
After his... final spurt. No, shut up.
Now, why is a marathon 26 miles and 385 yards long?
I feel a trap coming up. (Laughs)
There's an utterly preposterous myth
that it is the distance run from the Battle of Marathon
back to Athens.
- The myth is that it was a man called Pheidippides... - Yes.
- ..who actually conducted the run, to convey the news of the battle. - Yes.
- And in fact it was the Battle of Snickers, not Marathon. - Exactly.
(All laugh, applaud)
No, that's right. There is a fairly well-known story
that a man called Pheidippides apparently ran from Marathon,
where there'd been a battle against the invading Persians.
According to Herodotus, who was born six years after the battle,
and whose account is the nearest we have to a contemporary one,
Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Sparta,
which is actually about 145 miles.
- There'd be no way! - Yeah.
- 145 miles? - Yeah. And then he ran all the way back again,
since the Spartans were having a holy day.
But he died under the same...
No, he didn't die. According to Herodotus, he didn't.
- I thought he was... - No record of him dying at all.
It was 500 years later in Plutarch and various other sources
that this myth grew up.
But the reason why the marathon is 26 miles 385 yards
is the British Royal Family.
Is it the distance from Windsor to St James?
Not Windsor to St James, but you're absolutely on the right lines.
In 1908, there was an Olympic Games held in London,
and the marathon started outside a window in Windsor Castle,
and half the Royal Family sat in the window going,
'Oh, well done. Go and...' You know, 'What fun.' And there started.
And the finish line was at the newly built White City stadium,
and it was exactly 26 miles and 385 yards.
And for every Olympics afterwards, that was the settled length.
Now, we pay our traditional visit, ladies and gentlemen,
to the exam hall where all the candidates are writing
with the wrong end of the pencil - it's the School of General Ignorance.
So, fingers on buzzers, turn over your papers, and let's begin.
Where were the first modern Olympics held? Still on Olympics.
(Bell) Yes?
1896 was the first year, and I believe it was Athens.
(Siren)
- It's not correct, I'm afraid. - No.
- No, but in Greece? - No, it wasn't in Greece.
(Siren)
I'm sorry about that.
(Bell) No.
- Was it London? - No. You're in the right country, though.
- Damn. - If you got the place, I'd be surprised.
Johnny might. If I were to say AE Housman, you might get the place.
- Salisbury? - Nope.
- Shropshire. - Shropshire is the right answer.
- Much Wenlock, as in on Wenlock Edge. - Wenlock Edge.
The town of Much Wenlock in the year 1850, held Olympic Games.
It was an extraordinary man, called Dr WP Brookes.
1896 was the first Olympic Games.
And so people suggest, but Baron Coubertin, who was the founder,
supposedly, of the modern Olympic movement...
And he wrote about WP Brookes,
'Much Wenlock is a town in Shropshire,
a country on the borders of Wales,
and if the Olympic Games that modern Greece
has not yet been able to revive...'
He wrote this in 1890, Coubertin.
'..still survive today, it is due not to a Greek, but to WP Brookes.
It is he who inaugurated them 40 years ago,
and it is he, now 82 years of age, and still alert and vigorous,
who continues to organise and inspire them.'
So Coubertin came to Wenlock Edge,
and he, being a baron, having influence and political connections,
was able to do what this little country parson was not able to do,
which was to get the rest of the country, the rest of the world.
But King George I of Greece, of the Hellenes,
sent a silver medal to be a prize at the Wenlock Olympics.
So, 46 years before the first Athens Olympiad as it's counted,
there were Olympic Games that were recognised
by the very man who is known as the father of the Olympic movement.
- Gosh. - That's wonderful. - So, let's hear it for WP Brookes.
But he died just a year before the Athens Olympics.
- 2012 - Hackney. - Yeah.
(Audience laughs) Could be, couldn't it?
Could be Hackney. Nothing wrong with Hackney.
- What a shithole. - I live in Hackney.
(All laugh)
- Kayaking down the Lee River. - I used to live in Hackney.
You can develop film in the Lee River, but you can't kayak there.
(All laugh)
Now, here's a question - why was King Charles XIV of Sweden
ashamed of his tattoo?
That's Dudley Moore, innit?
(Audience laughs)
Charles XIV of Sweden.
Well, because Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's generals,
- went to become King of Sweden... - He did.
- And the tat... And Charles XIV, was that Bernadotte? - It was.
And he had a tattoo, 'I love Napoleon' on his arse?
No, no. He wasn't appointed by Napoleon.
He was actually appointed by the ailing Charles XIII.
Napoleon regarded it as a joke,
but Bernadotte had been a young revolutionary, a Jacobin,
and he had a tattoo that said, 'Death to kings.' (Chuckles)
As a young man, and then he was adopted by the old King of Sweden,
- Charles XIII - became Charles XIV. - Yes.
And was incredibly successful, and completely backed away from France.
- Had an alliance with England and Prussia. - The great coalition.
Invaded Norway. Became King of Norway as well.
And the Bernadotte family still rules Sweden.
They are still the kings...
It's very confusing that period, because Napoleon had Irish generals.
- He even had a Scottish general. - Yeah.
You know, just because you came from somewhere,
you didn't have to fight for their army.
No, indeed. Here's a question.
Which Scandinavian king might you have in your mobile phone?
(Bell)
- Gustavus Adolphus? - No.
- King Nokia. - No, though...
- King Ericsson. - No. You're cer... I mean...
King Motorola.
Actually in it. Not as the make of.
King Sim.
No. (All laugh)
- There was a King Harold who had a nickname. - Bluetooth!
Thank you. Bluetooth is the answer. Harold Bluetooth was the king...
Me neck went off that side to get that right.
United Finland and Sweden and Norway,
and when Ericsson and Nokia and all the others you mentioned
were thinking of a unified approach
to wireless connection between mobile phones,
they called it Bluetooth, in his honour.
Oh, really? 'Cause of him? Actually named after him?
Yeah. We have the last question.
What do St Bernards carry in barrels around their necks?
(Bell) Brandy.
(Siren)
(Siren drowns speech) No, never have.
Armagnac's a myth.
- Armagnac IS a kind of brandy. - Oh.- Just not cognac.
They never used casks in rescue work.
Brandy, after all, would kill someone with hypothermia.
- Yes. - They just do it for tourists.
It's 'cause of a painting in 1831 by Landseer.
Uh, that's not the painting, incidentally, but...
(Audience laughs)
- Very, very, very good likeness. - It's just done for tourism.
The dog painted by Landseer was called Barry,
and he was very handsome, and he'd rescued 40 people,
and was something of a hero.
Unfortunately, he was killed by the 41st person,
who thought he was a wolf.
Oh, that's terrible!
But, in his honour, the handsomest St Bernard...
- That's horrible. - ..is always called Barry at the St Bernard Hospice.
So, why was Barry painted with a barrel around his neck, then?
Occasionally they would carry milk and things like that,
but certainly not brandy.
Was St Bernard a patron saint of skiers who need some brandy?
Well, it's a pass, isn't it? It's a pass between Italy and Switzerland.
I'll tell you what is a really good patron saint to put,
and it works, is St Anthony, the patron saint of lost things.
If you lose something in the house, and you just say,
'Please, St Anthony, will you help me find this?',
I guarantee, 'cause it's happened with me with keys and everything -
in about half an hour to an hour, you'll find what it is...
(Cough 'bullshit') Um, um... (Audience laughs)
- Stephen! It's true. - No, it's not true. I'm sorry.
Something tells me it is so much arse.
Anyway, that's it, ladies and gentlemen.
It's time for the bittersweet business of the scores.
And here we are. I will have to go, I fear, in order of first to last.
And tied in first place are Josie and Rich - with four points!
- Ooh. - How about that?
(Applause)
In third place, despite some magnificent knowledge...
Uh, he did plunge into our traps a few times.
With -14, it's Johnny Sessions.
(Applause)
But, uh... But limping, somewhat, a few laps behind,
with, I think, a record-breaking -72 is Alan Davies.
(Audience cheers, applauds)
That's all. That's all from Rich, Johnny, Josie, Alan and myself.
I leave you with this quite interesting thought.
(Audience laughs) Good night.
(Applause)
