1
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,440
APPLAUSE
2
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Well!
3
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,760
Good evening, good evening,
good evening, good evening,
4
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,800
good evening, good evening,
good evening, good evening.
5
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,840
And welcome to QI, where tonight
the crowd is baying, the adrenalin's
pumping
6
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,040
and we're ready for fight or flight.
7
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,200
In the red corner, we have
Sean "Fists Of Fury" Lock
8
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
and "Gentleman" Johnny Vegas!
9
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,720
APPLAUSE
10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,800
And...in the blue corner,
Pam "Float Like A Bee" Ayres
11
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,560
and Alan "Sting Like A Butterfly"
Davies!
12
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,320
APPLAUSE
13
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,200
Fabulous.
14
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,720
So on your flights of fancy tonight,
you may want to buzz somebody,
15
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,040
so fire away. Pam goes...
16
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,760
MACHINE-GUN AND PLANE ENGINE
17
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,680
Oh, wow. It's like a machine-gun.
18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,280
Do you know, I think it actually
IS a machine-gun. I think it
is a machine-gun.
19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,480
Johnny goes...
20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,520
PLANE DIVES AND SHOTS FIRE
21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,400
Oh, with full body swerve.
I think I should lean.
He's all over me!
22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880
And Sean goes...
23
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,320
HEAVY FIRE
24
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,000
Pumping. And Alan goes...
25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,480
FAST DIVE THEN CRASH
26
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Oh, dear.
27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840
APPLAUSE
28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,640
And so we plummet straight into our
first topic, which is freefall
parachuting.
29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,720
We've got some film for you.
Pay close attention.
30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,600
So what happens next?
31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,800
That's the question.
32
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
He's about to pull the ripcord
and what will happen?
33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,160
That area around my groin,
it went a sort of a yellow colour.
34
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Alan, I can understand doing
one exciting thing at a time,
35
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,240
but why do freefalling
AND sodomy at the same time?
36
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,240
Why not just do one
and THEN the other?
37
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960
It was such a reasonable price.
38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Was it literally all-in?
39
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,040
But in fact, what is the thing that
happens after the ripcord is pulled?
40
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,240
I did a parachute jump. I know.
You did a static one, didn't you?
I did a static-line one.
41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,920
I just want to put this in,
so you know I'm a
woman of some substance.
42
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:48,480
I did one on my own, where the
bloke hits you on the shoulder
43
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,720
and says, "Go!" And as you go, the
string becomes taut and pulls off
44
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560
the bag and the parachute opens.
45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,160
That's very much... This is what
you hope happens. And did it? Yes.
46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,040
I believe... It was a great relief.
I believe that you, as it happens,
obviously, like Alan, felt some...
47
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,880
erotic feelings towards your
instructor. Is that correct? I did.
48
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,560
I took a shine to the instructor.
49
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,360
I think that's why I jumped
out the aircraft, really,
cos I wanted to impress him.
50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,160
I often do that. If I like a
woman, I jump out of the window.
51
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Just to show them that I really care.
"Are you impressed?"
52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480
I dig chicks in flats!
53
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,400
No, what of course we wanted you to
say, which you're not stupid enough
54
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,600
to say, but I have to confess, this
is really because I as a child was
convinced...
55
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Every time I'd seen... You shoot
upwards? Yeah. That when you open the
parachute, the guy goes upwards.
56
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,400
And of course, I subsequently
learned that it's because
57
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,080
the cameraman who's showing it is
still in freefall, so relative
58
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,120
to him, it looks
as if you're going up.
59
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,360
Look, we can see. There he goes!
60
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,360
It looks so much as if
you're just shooting upwards. Yeah.
It's the most lovely feeling
61
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,160
when the canopy opens, because you
can see everything
and you've got your toggles
62
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,720
and you can gently steer... Also,
you know you're
not going to die. Yeah.
63
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,680
That was THE moment for me.
64
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,440
The euphoria when it opens.
65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,960
How high up were you?
66
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,480
I was 12,000ft.
67
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,360
12,000? Mm. That's pretty high.
I mean, that's, what...?
68
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,160
45 seconds of freefall.
Two and a half miles.
69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,600
Want to know what the world
record is? Can you guess what
the world record is?
70
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Well, someone went nearly to space,
didn't they, and jumped out?
Almost, yes.
71
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Which is in fact was
32,000 metres, which is something...
72
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,320
18 miles up...?
Something like that.
73
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,800
Don't you freeze or your eardrums go
or something? Well, I can imagine
if you had flappy cuffs,
74
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,160
it would be very noisy
on the way down. He actually
went...he went as far...
75
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Who was it, Adam Ant, did this jump?
He went as a fop.
76
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,360
He achieved...
I'm a dandy highwayman!
77
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Well, he achieved
a speed of 614mph...
78
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,240
Gosh! which is pretty scary,
but he said it was gorgeous.
79
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,240
He said it was as if he'd remained
stationary and the balloon had shot
80
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,960
upwards, so it was rather to
that effect. Now, why did "Shorty"
Longbottom have a pink Spitfire?
81
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,560
MACHINE-GUN AND PLANE ENGINE
82
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Who...? Ooh, Pam. It was puffed.
83
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,760
LAUGHTER
84
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,640
It was...? Say again. Puffed!
85
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Puffed? It was PUFFED-OUT, yes.
86
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Oh, I see. It was exhausted
from its exertions. Oh, I see!
87
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,800
LAUGHTER
88
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Thank God for that!
89
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,360
I was worried for a moment
that we'd strayed into territory
90
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,320
that just wasn't quite right,
somehow. No.
91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Actually, it was a pretty new one
and it was a very light one.
92
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:45,360
It was a very special one.
Did he take hen-dos out on a weekend?
93
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320
You know, when the war slowed down?
94
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,360
It got dull. Some lass
with an L-plate on,
95
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960
did he get her in the back
and take her around town?
96
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,760
What were the female members
of the RAF? What were they called?
97
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Wrens. WAAFs. WAAFs.
And how would you know that?
98
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Because I was one. Oh! We seem
to be in your territory again.
99
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Yeah, I joined
the Women's Royal Air Force
100
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,600
and I went to Singapore and Germany
and I had a very nice time.
101
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Excellent.
LAUGHTER
102
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,120
It's very good to know. You should
do recruiting. You should!
103
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,600
"I had a lovely time."
104
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,480
I've always been looking for
the recruiting sergeant with a
bread knife, as a matter of fact,
105
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,400
because he said to me,
"What do you like doing?",
106
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,320
and I said, "Drawing," and
he put me in a drawing office,
107
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080
which was all maths
and technical drawing and that,
108
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,240
and I couldn't do it.
109
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
What a bad man!
Yes, he was a bad man.
110
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Evil. Evil.
111
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,840
They did that to me at school,
they said, "What do you want to do?"
112
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,440
I said, "Maths."
They put me in a maths class!
113
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,720
No! Can you believe that?
That's not good enough.
114
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,360
When I was obviously built
for dancing.
115
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,840
LAUGHTER
116
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,360
It was outrageous.
117
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Was your drawing anything
to do with aerial photographs?
118
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,840
That sort of thing, yes.
Well, then, this answer...
119
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,600
I can give you a little bit
of inside info, here. Go on.
120
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,280
If you are studying
aerial photography
121
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,120
and you see a photograph
which contains a cricket pitch,
122
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,480
and you happen to know
the focal length of the camera,
123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
you can calculate the scale.
124
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,520
I thought you were going to say,
"Calculate the score" then.
125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,760
Because you know a cricket pitch
is 22 yards, therefore... Yes.
126
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,120
But presumably, when the Spitfire's
flying over Germany,
127
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,680
the Germans are the kind of
utter swine who won't play cricket.
128
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,400
LAUGHTER
So it was tricky if you didn't have
a cricket pitch on the photograph.
129
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,440
But suppose in the early days
of the war,
130
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,600
you wanted to send an aeroplane over
to take photographs...
131
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Is it some sort of disguise?
Camouflage?
132
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,320
Camouflage is the right answer.
133
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,960
Pink skies, or pink... Yeah.
134
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Actually, first they made it blue,
and that stood out. And there it is.
135
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,600
"Shorty" Longbottom's pink Spitfire.
136
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,080
If it did get spotted
when it was taking pictures,
137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,360
wouldn't the other planes
just naturally flirt with it?
138
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320
You'd think this would be the big...
139
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,040
The pilots would abandon
their dog-fighting skills
140
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,080
and just go, "Hello!"
141
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,200
It came back from
the Dambusters thing pregnant.
142
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Well, it certainly shows...
143
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,440
You've got to love your country
144
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,240
to be prepared to go up
in one of those,
145
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,400
but when it's a cloudy day, the sky
has a sort of pink tinge to it.
146
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,160
A pink, pearly tone, doesn't it?
147
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Yes. Or alternatively, if you
want to camouflage your aircraft,
148
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,080
you could paint it as a ship.
149
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,680
LAUGHTER
150
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Yes.
151
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,640
And it was at that point that Ayres
was asked to leave the round.
152
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Yes.
153
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Exactly.
154
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,880
The whole of Germany
turned into that bloke
155
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,560
from the Laurel And Hardy films.
156
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Throwing booze away.
157
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,400
Exactly.
158
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,240
Stephen, I must point out,
I can't hear anything you say!
159
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,640
I'm just...
160
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,320
You're welcome to stay like that,
or take it off.
161
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,800
If the show's going well,
let me keep talking.
162
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,320
Well, there we are.
163
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Reconnaissance Spitfires were
painted pink to match the clouds.
164
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Now, who gives a flying fff-fish?
165
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,200
There they are. Gosh! Aren't they
amazing? Lovely, aren't they?
166
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,320
Beautiful animals. I was told that
flying fish only ever fly alone.
167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760
That sounds like a code, Alan.
168
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600
"Flying fish only fly alone."
169
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
I've seen them. They fly in shoals.
170
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,480
I was on scuba-diving trip and
I met a German and he was adamant.
171
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,720
"Zey only fly alone!"
172
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,040
They would fly on their own,
wouldn't they?
173
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,840
What you mean is they don't fly in
a formation like the Red Devils.
174
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,080
They don't leap out
and pass one another, like that.
175
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,360
No, they don't do that.
176
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Do you know what the French
for a flying fish is?
177
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Poisson...d'aeroplane?
178
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,000
LAUGHTER
179
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Actually, it's slightly more creepy
180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,360
for those of us
of a certain generation.
181
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,640
It's Exocet.
182
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240
Oh, gosh. And what do you know
of the Exocet?
183
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,280
It's a missile.
184
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,560
It was a missile, yes. It was used
against us in the Falklands War.
185
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:59,320
So do they fly or glide?
186
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,360
Neither.
187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,720
I've seen them
and they fly for...
188
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Sorry, Johnny,
I'm so excited I must say this.
189
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,120
They fly for ages.
190
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,760
When I saw them,
my first flying fish,
191
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,440
I couldn't believe they were really
fish, because they flew for so long,
192
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,920
and they weave and they sort of
duck and dive, like that.
193
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,480
I thought, "They cannot be fish",
because they flew for so long.
194
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,480
They flew for minutes
and minutes and minutes,
195
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,240
and then suddenly they all go plonk,
196
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,640
and they're gone,
so you know they were really fish.
197
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
I don't know what you were eating
or drinking on that occasion,
198
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,200
but I have it here
on pretty solid authority
199
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,080
that 30 seconds is a long time for
them to stay in the air in one go.
200
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,160
Which is a long glide, 30 seconds.
201
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,360
It appears that they glide,
202
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,520
but even if they move
these pectoral fins
203
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000
that have become their wings,
even slightly,
204
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,080
that would count as flying
but it seems they are fixed.
205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Who's going to tell Pam that
she probably witnessed a duck?
206
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
LAUGHTER
207
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,400
It wasn't a duck. I heard
what he said. It wasn't a duck.
208
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,000
It was not a duck at all.
209
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,960
No? Is that what he said?
He did. He may have done.
210
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,040
And my sister breeds ducks,
211
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,640
so I know the difference
between a duck and a flying fish.
212
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,840
It just looks to me like you keep
telling me to eff off.
213
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,360
You - duck - duck - fish.
214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,840
I didn't realise you'd noticed.
215
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,160
That kind of language, Pam.
I'm glad my ears are cut off.
216
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,360
The people who most love them
are the people of Tao,
217
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800
an island off Taiwan,
where it's their staple diet.
218
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Do they taste nice, then?
Well, I...
219
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Hard to catch, I'd have thought.
Exactly.
220
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,200
Do you use a 12-bore or a net?
221
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,960
Or one in each hand.
That's what I do.
222
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
No, you'd just make
a little landing strip.
223
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,480
LAUGHTER
224
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Put some lights on it, you know,
some tea candles.
225
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Then wave them in!
226
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Stand there with a stick,
waiting for them to go...
227
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Bring it in?
228
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,200
Oh, they've all got grand ideas
of being jumbo jets.
229
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,520
Here's a supplementary question,
however.
230
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000
What's the opposite
of a flying fish?
231
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,680
Tunnelling flamingo.
232
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,240
LAUGHTER
233
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,880
Is it going to be some
sort of bottom-dwelling...
234
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,080
What do fish do, usually? Is it
a sinking bat? Fish usually swim.
235
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320
What usually flies?
Birds. Birds. Birds.
236
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160
A swimming bird. A swimming bird.
Come on, that's a point.
237
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,040
There's loads of them.
There are loads of them,
238
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640
but which birds are particularly
astonishing? Chocolate biscuit.
239
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Cormorants. Chocolate biscuit!
240
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,440
Chocolate biscuit.
P-P-Pick up a-a-a-a... A stork.
241
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,480
LAUGHTER
242
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,280
No, it is indeed a penguin
and they have their wings,
243
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,160
which are of course now
perfect flippers for swimming,
244
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,160
but the fact is, to a scientist,
245
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,840
swimming and flying
are absolutely no different.
246
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,280
It's the same muscles,
the same principles at work,
247
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,080
it's just the medium of one is water
and the other is air.
248
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,800
As far as the penguin's concerned,
it's doing what all birds do.
249
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,160
It's just doing it in the water.
250
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,560
It looks magnificent but
what's the point of developing that,
251
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,160
if no other birds can see it?
252
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,040
It... Why would it want
other birds to see it?
253
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,560
You're going, "It's magnificent."
254
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,800
He's swimming round going,
"Look at this! Look what I've done!"
255
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
All the other birds are going,
"Look at that BEEP!"
256
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,800
We're the only creatures, Johnny,
that like to show off, I think.
257
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,000
I don't think animals like
to show off, do they?
258
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Apart from peacocks, and quite a few
others, come to think of it now.
259
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,560
LAUGHTER
260
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,960
In fact, all of them. And the ones
with the spines and the horns.
261
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,640
LAUGHTER
262
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,880
So, from flying fish
to the fishing fly. Ho ho.
263
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,040
Why do women make
the best fishermen?
264
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
MACHINE-GUN FIRE
265
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
They're all descended from mermaids.
266
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,640
LAUGHTER
267
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,800
It's a very sweet thought.
268
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,400
I don't know that that's true.
269
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,000
I can imagine you
whispering that into a girl's ear.
270
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,400
And in 1654, they negotiated a deal
with the octopus witch
271
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,160
to let them also have
their voices back.
272
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,520
LAUGHTER
273
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,160
I need to write this down!
274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,720
If I can teach my kids this.
275
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,800
This is... 16...
276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,800
It was a massive summit. Was it?
277
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,760
You might be right, Johnny.
I'm not sure. I'll check.
278
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,800
It was like Rivers Of Blood speech,
279
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,880
because a lot of the mackerel
were told to BLEEP in shoals.
280
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,560
Right. I see that now. OK. OK.
281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320
I think I actually know this.
Yes? Go on.
282
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,880
Tell, tell. I did know a bloke,
283
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,920
he used to get his wife to give him
a discarded pubic hair,
284
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,360
because there was a chemical in it
285
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,200
and he used to hair-rig
his boilies fishing for carp,
286
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,160
because they think it gives off...
287
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,800
You're absolutely right.
This is what people think.
288
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,120
APPLAUSE
289
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200
You're right.
290
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,240
We called him a pervert for years.
291
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640
You're right that
this is what people think.
292
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,000
As it happens,
it is completely untrue.
293
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
LAUGHTER
294
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,240
Someone wrote a letter
to The Field in which he said
295
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
he'd had huge success
using his wife's pubic hairs,
296
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,680
and a whole generation
of fishermen copied this.
297
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,480
There was a belief that pheromones,
which are probably the chemicals
you were after,
298
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
pheromones that women give off...
299
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,280
But there are a number
of problems with this,
300
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,360
there is absolutely no evidence that
humans give off pheromones
of any kind. So why are women...
301
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,360
The fact is, the British record
for the largest fish caught
302
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,160
on these islands is held by women.
303
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,720
There was a 64lb salmon caught
by a Miss Georgina Ballantyne.
304
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440
The fact is, she was
a very experienced angler.
305
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,040
Why does she think it's a saxophone?
306
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,480
LAUGHTER
307
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,920
She does.
"We'll be in a relationship."
308
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,920
"Oh, dear God, throw me back!"
In fact...
309
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,920
And there was a 66lb catfish
caught at Oundle
310
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,880
by another woman, Bev Street.
311
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,640
The point is, if men
had caught these enormous fish,
312
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320
no-one would be groping around
for reasons
313
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,200
as to why men were good fishermen.
The fact that women hold the record
314
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,840
has everyone suddenly going, "There
must be some explanation for that.
315
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,000
"It can't be because
they're good at fishing.
316
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,080
"It must be because
they give off a chemical!"
317
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Bizarre theory.
Well, there you have it, anyway.
318
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Fantastic.
319
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,280
Now, when lions fight bears,
which one wins?
320
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,600
LAUGHTER
321
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,960
MACHINE-GUN FIRE
322
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,160
Yes, Johnny?
Which one's had the Stella?
323
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,600
Let's leave your sponsor out of it
if we can, Johnny.
324
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Is the answer that they never meet,
they're on different continents?
325
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,840
They wouldn't naturally meet
but as it happens, they have met.
326
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,880
It's been organised.
A very sick human...
327
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,840
It's been organised?
328
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,000
In a car-park?
329
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,520
Kind of in a car park,
in California, I'm afraid.
330
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,960
It was during the Gold Rush.
331
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,000
I'd back a lion.
332
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,360
You'd go with the lion, would you?
KLAXON
333
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,160
Oh, no. I'm afraid
it is the bear every time.
334
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,920
Really? The skull
of the lion is thin
335
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,680
and although it's muscular,
it has no real bone-strength
336
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,080
in the way that a bear does,
337
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,000
and a bear can just crush
the skull of a lion like that.
338
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,840
The lion never gets a chance
to get in there
339
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,040
and do its thing on the neck,
340
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,840
and the bear would win every time.
341
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,080
It was during the Gold Rush,
the Californians,
342
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,360
to entertain the prospectors
and the miners,
343
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:40,520
started with bears
against various other animals.
344
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Against a bull, for example.
Yuck. How horrible.
345
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,640
It's so cruel and unpleasant.
346
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,120
People got bored with the bear
winning, so they shipped in lions
347
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,400
and the lions put on a brave show
to start with,
348
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,240
and everyone thought they would win,
349
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,120
and they roared in there
but the bear was just too... Dnnn!
350
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:57,640
Every time... Poor old lion.
..Crushed its skull.
351
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:57,900
My dad was a boxer. Was he? Yeah.
352
00:18:57,900 --> 00:18:59,700
Mine was an Irish setter.
353
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,700
Was he?
LAUGHTER
354
00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:04,460
Sorry.
355
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:06,460
Was he really?
356
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,140
Very superstitious man, he was.
357
00:19:08,140 --> 00:19:11,180
He had this horseshoe that
he took everywhere with him.
358
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:13,300
Yes?
359
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:16,540
And he kept it in the boxing glove?
360
00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:18,740
You must have known my dad!
361
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:20,580
That would backfire, though.
362
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:23,260
That would break your hand,
wouldn't it? You feel it would.
363
00:19:23,260 --> 00:19:25,660
Let's come to a question
almost on that very subject,
364
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:30,860
because it's interesting. Name
something that's easier to do
when you're wearing boxing gloves.
365
00:19:30,860 --> 00:19:33,860
Frisk a porcupine!
366
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:35,540
Very good!
367
00:19:35,540 --> 00:19:37,500
Give up masturbating!
368
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,700
LAUGHTER
369
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,660
Yes, I suppose.
370
00:19:41,660 --> 00:19:44,420
Yes, but I suppose
what I was coming to
371
00:19:44,420 --> 00:19:47,740
was what's so bizarre
about boxing gloves, in a way,
372
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:51,420
is that what it really makes it
easier to do is to kill someone.
373
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:54,540
Yeah. It's a lot easier to kill
people wearing boxing gloves
374
00:19:54,540 --> 00:19:56,580
than it was ever
in the bare-knuckle days. Why?
375
00:19:56,580 --> 00:19:58,300
In those days
almost no-one ever died.
376
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:00,020
There were two recorded instances
377
00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:02,740
in 150 years
of bare-knuckle prize-fighting.
378
00:20:02,740 --> 00:20:04,460
I like the shorts!
379
00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:07,140
They're pretty splendid,
aren't they?
380
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:09,860
You can't hit someone as hard,
can you? Repeatedly.
381
00:20:09,860 --> 00:20:12,940
The thing is, if you try
and hit someone on the jaw,
382
00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:14,620
you break your own fist,
383
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:17,260
so in the old days
people punched against the chest
384
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:19,340
and the stomach and the arms
and everything else,
385
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:21,860
but they avoided the chin -
they would hurt themselves.
386
00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:23,260
As soon as you put gloves on,
387
00:20:23,260 --> 00:20:25,420
they were battering each other
in the face... I see.
388
00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:29,980
I mean, four people a year die in
America alone from boxing injuries.
389
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:32,380
It's a very dangerous sport indeed.
390
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:36,300
But in the bare-knuckle days, which
had no time limits to their rounds,
391
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:38,860
people would survive and walk away.
392
00:22:34,635 --> 00:22:36,635
In the words of the British boxer
393
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:39,580
and former world middleweight
champion Alan Minter,
394
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:42,300
"Sure, there have been injuries
and deaths in boxing,
395
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:43,740
"but none of them serious."
396
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:29,660
Now, what kind of birds used to
go out with Viking sailors?
397
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:50,980
Turkeys. Chickens.
398
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:52,460
No. Geese.
399
00:29:52,460 --> 00:29:55,140
Swans. Birds we didn't have here
till they arrived.
400
00:30:36,140 --> 00:30:39,420
They helped them find their way...
Yes. ..Through the fog.
401
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:41,460
Not through the fog, no.
402
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:44,060
It was to discover new lands,
which the Vikings liked to do.
403
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:45,460
What would be the purpose of it?
404
00:30:45,460 --> 00:30:48,380
How useful would a bird be?
It's really cunning, this.
405
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:52,540
Is it one that would go up high and
see further than you could see? Yes.
A talking bird!
406
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:59,020
Either that, or imagine a bird
that couldn't land on the water,
couldn't swim...
407
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:02,020
So when it saw land, it would head
towards land and you'd follow it.
408
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:06,220
But if there was no land?
It would drown? No, get back
in the ship. Oh, right.
409
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:10,780
It would go, "There's nowhere
for me to go but the ship." It had
to be a non-migratory bird,
410
00:31:10,780 --> 00:31:14,820
one that doesn't usually
fly over the water,
that can't land in the water.
411
00:31:14,820 --> 00:31:18,700
You'd let it fly.
It goes up to about 5,000ft
and you can still see it.
412
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:22,540
If there's land, it will shoot off
to the land, so you follow it
in that direction.
413
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:26,060
If there's no land
and you're still right in
the middle of the ocean, it would
414
00:31:26,060 --> 00:31:29,900
come back down again and
you'd carry on sailing. Yes?
415
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:33,260
Is it a budgie? It's not a budgie.
416
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:34,460
What a pity.
417
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:37,580
It's actually a... Noah uses it.
Is it a gander?
418
00:31:37,580 --> 00:31:39,220
It's not a gander. Is it a dove?
419
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:42,820
No. Before the dove, if you
remember, in the Bible, he used...
Punters, help us.
420
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:44,380
Raven. Very good.
421
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:45,620
I was going to say that.
422
00:31:45,620 --> 00:31:47,420
I was going to say that
at the start.
423
00:31:47,420 --> 00:31:50,940
Ah! There it is, there's the raven.
Yes, a raven. Can't land on water.
424
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:54,820
So the religious maniac in
the audience got it right.
425
00:31:54,820 --> 00:31:59,820
No, I'm only joking. It was indeed.
Of course, Noah used that first.
Isn't that a cunning thing to do?
426
00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:03,300
There was a particular Viking,
and his name was Flopsi...
427
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:05,620
Is he the one with the pink ship?
428
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:09,580
LAUGHTER
No, I got his name a bit wrong.
429
00:32:09,580 --> 00:32:12,380
Did he have very long ears?
There was a group of them.
430
00:32:12,380 --> 00:32:19,780
Floki is to this day apparently...
Vilgerdarson, he is known to this
day as Raven-Floki
431
00:32:19,780 --> 00:32:22,780
because he discovered,
at least for the Vikings,
432
00:32:22,780 --> 00:32:25,500
he discovered Iceland that way,
by sending a raven.
433
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:27,940
Now in which direction do rockets...
What if the ravens...
434
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:33,420
Sorry. What if the ravens are sat in
a studio now, making their own show,
435
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:37,420
going, "And it was the first raven
that ingeniously used humans..."
436
00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:39,820
I like the way your mind works.
437
00:32:39,820 --> 00:32:42,540
"..to transport us..."
You know what I mean?
438
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:47,740
Johnny, they wouldn't say that.
They wouldn't say that. They'd go,
"Kaa! Kaa!"
439
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:50,940
Think these things through!
440
00:32:52,940 --> 00:32:57,140
I believe they would say...
There's nothing worse than a
half-baked idea.
441
00:32:57,140 --> 00:32:59,940
Oh, don't bully the poor thing.
442
00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:04,860
Right, in which direction
do rockets accelerate best?
443
00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:07,300
HEAVY FIRE
Yes?
444
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,500
Down. No.
445
00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:15,700
I just felt like doing that.
Oh, fair enough.
446
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:17,860
Do they leave the ground quicker
447
00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:20,460
than they return to the ground?
Is that the thing?
448
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:24,260
No, it's where do they get
their maximum acceleration?
In which position?
449
00:33:24,260 --> 00:33:26,740
Horizontal.
Horizontal is the right answer.
450
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:29,020
Although they have to leave
quickly like that,
451
00:33:29,020 --> 00:33:32,100
they tip and the moment their
weight is not over the thruster,
452
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:34,780
they generate lift
and they're like planes, almost.
453
00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:39,540
And most of their work is done
horizontally, not vertically.
454
00:34:39,540 --> 00:34:43,820
But you know when there was
the Greenham Common protest about
cruise missiles? I remember that.
455
00:34:43,820 --> 00:34:47,860
And one of the things they used
to say was, "Oh, these missiles,
they're shaped like penises.
456
00:34:47,860 --> 00:34:49,620
"They're about man's aggression."
457
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:54,420
And you're thinking, "They're
shaped like that because that's
the most aerodynamic shape."
458
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:59,380
They wouldn't be very successful
if they were shaped like vaginas,
would they?
459
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,560
And now to the point where,
as your flight instructor, I propel
460
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,520
you towards the yawning void of
general ignorance, so fingers on
your firing buttons, if you please.
461
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:26,160
Which of the armed services refers
to the left and right sides of
an aeroplane as port and starboard?
462
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,760
HEAVY FIRE
463
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,560
Yes? That would be
the Navy, wouldn't it?
464
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,920
Oh, it's not the Navy, in fact.
465
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,000
For very good reasons. The RAF?
466
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,280
The RAF do and the Army does, and
all the others, but not the Fleet
Air Arm or the Navy,
467
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,320
because they have aeroplanes
on boats sometimes,
468
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,840
at different angles, and they have
to keep port and starboard as being
469
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,680
according to the axis of the boat.
470
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,360
Otherwise, if the plane's
facing the wrong way, you could get
death and confusion and disaster.
471
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,800
So in the training manuals
for that sea harrier, it says
the left wing and the right wing.
472
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,440
And now,
what's this chap wearing, here?
473
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,520
Please show me, while we're still
in the Navy and the Army.
474
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,280
A busby.
475
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,240
Oh, thank you, Pam.
You were doing so well.
No, he's not wearing a busby.
476
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:14,280
A bearskin? It is a bearskin, yes.
I was going to say a medal.
477
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,880
It is called a busby though,
isn't it?
478
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,240
It's not called a busby.
We will show you a busby.
479
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,160
There, on the right hand
and the left hand.
480
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,840
Those are busbies. Much shorter.
But what is the bearskin made of?
481
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,480
Bear. Nylon? Wood? Acrylic.
482
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,000
Bear. You're quite right.
Ostensibly, bear hair.
483
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,200
Bear hair. They tried making
bearskins out of acrylics and
nylons and various other things,
484
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,520
but they get bedraggled in the
wet and they stand up with static
electricity and look preposterous.
485
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,400
So, of course, you wouldn't want
to look preposterous on parade.
486
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,680
What would win in a fight
between them two hats?
487
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,520
If you go back to the first
photograph, of the guy in the
bearskin, there. Do you know, Pam,
488
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,000
because you said your... Who did
you say was in the Guards? My dad
was a Grenadier Guard.
489
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,320
Now, there are five regiments
in the Brigade Of Guards.
Can you tell me which he's in?
490
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,320
There's a way of telling.
I'm afraid I don't know.
491
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040
My father wouldn't be very pleased
with me. Buttons. Yes.
492
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,880
The Grenadier Guards'
buttons are evenly spaced.
493
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,480
In pairs, like this, it means
he's in the Coldstream Guards.
494
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,920
Oh, I didn't know that.
If they're in threes,
you're in the Scottish Guards.
495
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,160
And there's an Irish Guards.
In fours, it's the Irish Guards,
and fives is the Welsh Guards.
496
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,520
What if you've got a zip?
497
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,520
A zip? Yeah. Or you're like
a stripper, it's just Velcro.
498
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:36,800
I'm going to change your guard!
499
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,600
I'm going to be trooping my colour!
500
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,120
LAUGHTER
501
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,840
APPLAUSE
502
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,240
Oh, dear.
503
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,120
Guards were indeed very...
504
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,320
There were lots of stories about men
doing things with Guardsmen
in the '50s and '60s.
505
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,920
And that story of Churchill
being woken up one morning when
he was PM in the '50s
506
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,280
and he was told, "I'm afraid
there's a bit of a scandal,
Prime Minister.
507
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,200
"One of our backbench MPs was found
with a Guardsman in St James's Park
in the bushes last night
508
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,160
"by the police, and the papers
have got hold of it."
509
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,560
Churchill said, "Last night?"
He said, "Yes."
510
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,000
Churchill said, "It was very cold
last night, wasn't it?"
511
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,400
And the PPA said, "Well, yes,
actually, Prime Minister.
512
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,840
"I believe it was one of the coldest
February nights for 30 years."
513
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,000
Churchill said, "Makes you
proud to be British."
514
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,360
Don't think they'd have
that attitude now.
515
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,840
Anyway, yes, the tall hat worn
by the Foot Guards is a bearskin.
516
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,240
Short one with the flap worn by
the Hussars and the Royal Horse
Artillery, that's a busby.
517
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:13,680
And now, be very afraid.
518
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,800
Be very, very afraid indeed. Or
invite me to come outside, because
I'm ready to tell you the scores.
519
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Oh, no!
520
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,960
Well, it's really,
really interesting.
521
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,960
In first place, would you believe,
522
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,960
and it's only her first appearance,
it's Pam Ayres!
523
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,360
Oh!
ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE
524
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,840
In second place, with plus one,
is Johnny Vegas!
525
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,360
Yeah!
526
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,960
Miles behind, with minus 11,
is Alan Davies, who's not last!
527
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,720
Which means that freefalling at
terminal velocity this evening,
528
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:59,080
on minus 12, Sean Lock!
529
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,040
APPLAUSE
530
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,240
So that's all from us this week.
My thanks to Sean, Johnny,
531
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:14,040
Pam and Alan, and I leave you with
this thought on the subject of fight
or flight from Michael Freedman.
532
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:19,160
The scientific name for an animal
that doesn't either run from
or fight its enemies is "lunch".
533
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,680
Goodnight.
534
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:31,560
