00:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:33And welcome to Have I Got News For You.
00:38I'm Monty Don and in the news this week,
00:40as a fleet of new bicycles are rolled out,
00:44post office bosses say it's the workers and not the technology
00:48that is responsible for slow delivery rates.
00:52LAUGHTER
00:57In preparation for his state visit to the US
01:00to heal the special relationship,
01:02King Charles practises unveiling Donald Trump's plaque of peace.
01:13And ahead of David Attenborough's 100th birthday,
01:17the BBC admits the ban still has some work to do
01:20with their rendition of For He's A Jolly Good Fellow.
01:31On Ian's team tonight is a journalist who has recently spoken out
01:35against the lazy use of inaccurate AI-generated research.
01:40So please welcome the reigning world triple jump champion
01:43and fourth woman to walk on the moon, Helen Lewis.
01:52APPLAUSE
01:53On Paul's team tonight is a comedian who, in a very recent interview,
01:57said the worst thing in the news this year is war and social division.
02:01Oh, well, there goes round one.
02:03LAUGHTER
02:04Please welcome Chris McCausman.
02:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:11We begin with the bigger news stories of the week.
02:15Paul and Chris, here's yours.
02:17OK, so what we're looking at here, Chris,
02:19is four astronauts in the space capsule.
02:21They're waving at a camera.
02:23Oh, erm...
02:25There's a very handsome man doing his toenails, I think.
02:29And that's the stuff they've got out of his toenails there.
02:33LAUGHTER
02:34Erm...
02:34Oh, hang on.
02:35There's more.
02:36Yeah, the clangers have suddenly made a comeback, though, at the end.
02:38Yeah, this is the impending return to Earth of the Artemis II...
02:42Yes.
02:43..astronauts after a successful orbit of the moon.
02:45What did the astronauts see that no-one else had ever seen?
02:48Well, they say no human eye had ever looked upon the dark side
02:52of the moon in reality, but, of course, we'd seen photographs of it.
02:55Yeah, well, here it is.
02:55Yeah.
02:56This is what they saw.
02:57Dark side of the moon.
02:58You're missing something here, Chris.
02:59I'll tell you that much.
03:00LAUGHTER
03:01As deep and meaningful as this answer is,
03:03I think the proper answer is just a man cutting his toenails in space.
03:06Yeah.
03:08What did the astronauts notice that they've not seen before?
03:12Er, we had the clangers there, is it?
03:14No.
03:15It wasn't the clangers, they didn't see the clangers.
03:17Did they find a bright spot on it?
03:18Ah.
03:19Was it orange?
03:20Yes.
03:20Oh, there you are.
03:21You see, Chris, of all the people who couldn't see it...
03:24LAUGHTER
03:29Donald Trump did actually call them to congratulate them?
03:31He did, yes.
03:32What did he say?
03:32What did he say?
03:33Er, well done.
03:34Then he said, I'm going to invite you all to the White House
03:36so I can get your autographs, which is a great honour for you.
03:40LAUGHTER
03:42Back to really important matters.
03:44There was one piece of equipment on the spacecraft.
03:47Just wait.
03:49LAUGHTER
03:50I should have gone before I came on.
03:54Well...
03:54It happens to be the answer, that's a coincidence.
03:56The...
03:56It's like being with a toddler.
03:58Toilet!
03:59LAUGHTER
04:00Can you put your hand up if you need to go, Paul?
04:03Do you know how much this toilet cost?
04:05Yeah, 45 million pounds.
04:0723.
04:08$23 million.
04:09And it wasn't working?
04:10No.
04:11Erm, let's have a look at it.
04:13No consideration for the female astronaut.
04:15The seat's been left up.
04:17It's, erm...
04:18They had to orientate the whole ship to face the sun, didn't they?
04:23That's it.
04:23To unfreeze the toilet.
04:24I mean, we've all done a few visits in the past, haven't we?
04:26We've had to wait for the sun to hit the bathroom to sort it out.
04:30LAUGHTER
04:32I don't even know what that means.
04:35We've all been there.
04:37Tell me why this space trip was a triumph for Nutella chocolate spread.
04:42I saw the bit of footage of a jar of it sort of floating majestically through the spaceship.
04:48Erm, so I presume that's what it was.
04:49Yeah, a pot of it fell out of a bag and floated across the camera.
04:52Hmm.
04:52In what was described as the greatest free advert in history.
04:57Eat Nutella and you'll clog a $23 million toilet.
05:01There it goes.
05:02There it goes.
05:04And we've only got their word that it is actually Nutella.
05:07Well, you see...
05:08LAUGHTER
05:08Oh, that's nice talk, isn't it?
05:10It is.
05:11That's nice talk from public school, boy.
05:13That's very nice.
05:14Well, by going beyond the moon, the astronauts broke the record for the farthest distance travelled.
05:20Although, sadly, the Telegraph's notification didn't have room for the full message, which read...
05:26Artemis II astronauts, record for part.
05:34When did they do to splashdown?
05:35Er, tonight.
05:36Or yesterday.
05:38LAUGHTER
05:40Up here.
05:41I've got it up here, mate.
05:43Do you need it up here?
05:44Or last year, if you're watching it repeat.
05:47Well, it's actually earlier as a Saturday morning.
05:50Oh, meant to be in the ocean, isn't it?
05:51Yeah.
05:52Imagine the irony if they landed in Iran.
05:54Yeah.
05:55LAUGHTER
05:58Somebody had a very funny idea.
06:00Said, like, we've got a couple of days, the whole world population should buy gorilla masks
06:03and put them on.
06:06LAUGHTER
06:07So, when the astronauts land, they'll think they're in Planet of the Apes.
06:10LAUGHTER
06:11I think it's a great idea.
06:12We've still got 48 hours to do this.
06:14President Trump, just be yourself.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Do you know what speed they'll be doing as they re-enter the atmosphere?
06:2018 miles an hour.
06:2310,000 miles an hour.
06:24Unless it's in a low traffic zone.
06:27Well, they will actually be doing 25,000 miles an hour.
06:32What?
06:32Which is seven miles a second.
06:34Incredible.
06:35So, if you're a lollipop lady, just keep out the area.
06:39And what speed will it have slowed to when it hits the water?
06:43Zero.
06:44Yeah.
06:46Unless it's going to continue down to the bottom of the ocean.
06:48Well, it's actually 20 miles an hour.
06:50No, it really.
06:50Because it says it here.
06:51No, it says it there.
06:52It says it there.
06:53Which, of course, is great.
06:54But you can't just read that.
06:55If it said, plant me in a shady space and it doesn't work for you...
06:57LAUGHTER
06:58You wouldn't just do that, would you?
07:00You wouldn't just do that.
07:02APPLAUSE
07:03Of course you wouldn't.
07:05You're better than that.
07:06There was a YouGov survey, they did, where 49% of Brits said they
07:12wouldn't want to go.
07:14And the main reason given was they weren't interested.
07:18LAUGHTER
07:19No, actually, it was more than that.
07:20They said there wasn't enough to do.
07:23LAUGHTER
07:23Crazy golf up there.
07:27LAUGHTER
07:28A lot of craters.
07:30Yeah.
07:32LAUGHTER
07:34Moving on.
07:35What moon-related property was returned to its owner this week
07:3850 years after it was stolen?
07:40Now, that was a clangor.
07:42Yes.
07:43One of those little puppets had been stolen by a man.
07:46And he confessed on his deathbed, apparently.
07:47And he gave it to his relative, who this week handed it back.
07:51Yeah, yeah.
07:51Because she felt she owed it to the moon.
07:54Well, and...
07:55You said it was on his deathbed.
07:56On his deathbed, he confessed to this terrible crime.
07:59Are you all right, Uncle Fred?
08:00He was like, oh, I stole a clangor.
08:01Yeah.
08:03When Mother Clangor was returned, apparently...
08:06Oh, is it Mother Clangor?
08:07Yeah, what she said was...
08:08WHISTLE BLOWS
08:11Exactly, those were her words.
08:15Um...
08:15APPLAUSE
08:18This is the impending return of NASA's moon mission.
08:23NASA reported that the astronauts had a surprisingly varied diet,
08:27including beef brisket, broccoli au gratin,
08:30mac and cheese and vegetable quiche.
08:33Four of the tastiest tablets they've ever had.
08:36LAUGHTER
08:36A YouGov survey this week said that 49% of Britons would refuse an
08:42opportunity to go to the moon and will continue to do so until the
08:46construction of the International Space Wetherspoons.
08:48LAUGHTER
08:49Now, I thought it might be nice just to have a few quiet moments
08:54with Ned.
09:02We look at a bored-looking dog in a garden.
09:05LAUGHTER
09:07I'm letting that rise above me.
09:09LAUGHTER
09:11I thought Ned was a guitar player, judging by the sounds.
09:17He's...
09:17LAUGHTER
09:19So your dog plays the guitar, does he?
09:21Ian and Helen, who's yours?
09:23What is this about?
09:25That's President Trump with a bunny, not a playboy bunny.
09:28Keir Starmer explaining why we're not joining the war in Iran.
09:31Ooh!
09:32And that's Melania Trump trying to fit her Mar-a-Lago face around a
09:34whistle with some difficulty.
09:36It's quite difficult blowing a whistle when you've had a lot of
09:38work done, isn't it?
09:40Right, so I hear.
09:41LAUGHTER
09:42I find it a real problem.
09:44LAUGHTER
09:49You've had work done, Ian.
09:52Now, I don't want to be rude, don't you think, but I'd ask for your
09:54money back if I...
09:56LAUGHTER
09:56I don't want to be rude.
09:58APPLAUSE
09:58I don't want to be rude.
10:00APPLAUSE
10:02This is the news that none of Trump's war goals have been
10:06achieved, so he's declared it a total victory.
10:09I mean, Iran basically won.
10:11That's the bit that kind of no-one really wants to say out loud.
10:14But, basically, they went in saying we want regime change,
10:16and they've ended up with the last guy's son.
10:18And then they said we want to stop them acquiring nuclear weapons.
10:21Well, there's no agreement so far on any of that.
10:23And what they've essentially ended up doing was, Iran says,
10:26well, now we're going to close the Strait of Ulmuz,
10:28except we're going to take tolls on it.
10:29So they've given Iran a way to make a lot of money.
10:33But if you've got a set of war aims and you achieve none of them,
10:36that's not bad.
10:38LAUGHTER
10:39And he's still in talks with the bunny you saw,
10:43who's one of Iran's chief negotiators.
10:47There have been people making a lot of money.
10:48There's been Polymarket, which is one of these prediction betting markets,
10:51and someone seems to have very suspiciously made a lot of big bets
10:54on things that were about to happen.
10:56So someone has made a lot of money out of this war.
10:58I don't understand you. What are you suggesting?
10:59I'm suggesting there's insider trading in the White House, Monty, as well.
11:02Oh, right, that's what it is.
11:07The two-week ceasefire went up to the wire,
11:10with the President taking to Truth Social on Tuesday night to say,
11:14a whole civilisation will die tonight.
11:17I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
11:21Has there ever been a bigger U-turn, though,
11:23than we're going to liberate a people from an oppressive regime
11:26to we're going to obliterate the entire civilisation?
11:30LAUGHTER
11:31And that wasn't even the craziest Trump True Social post.
11:34The one on Easter Sunday was even wackier, right?
11:36Yeah, we will come to that.
11:37Oh, OK, right. We will come to that.
11:38Trust me.
11:39Well, we might come to it now, maybe.
11:41We're very independent on this.
11:42Oh, OK. Go on, then. Let me...
11:45We don't have to wait for things to grow.
11:48LAUGHTER
11:49Oh, that's nice talk, isn't it?
11:52That's nice talk.
11:53I've heard on Garden, as well, they just buy a lot of it in
11:55and swap it over in between shots anyway.
11:57LAUGHTER
11:59He said you couldn't see.
12:00I can smell the lies.
12:01Yeah.
12:03On Easter Day, I mean, he basically both compared himself
12:06to Jesus Christ...
12:09Mm.
12:09..and then let other people suggest he was the Messiah.
12:13How did he compare himself to Jesus?
12:15A similar height.
12:16LAUGHTER
12:18He said, no, they called Jesus a king, they called me a king.
12:21Mm.
12:22Well, that's a nice Easter Sunday message.
12:24Perhaps we can keep the power law going and crucify him.
12:28LAUGHTER
12:35Donald Trump threatened the destruction of Iran's civil infrastructure,
12:39regarded by many as a war crime, and said,
12:41Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day,
12:45all wrapped up in one.
12:47There will be nothing like it.
12:49Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards,
12:53or you will be living in hell.
12:55Kind regards.
12:56Don't know.
12:57LAUGHTER
12:58Said a man next to a giant rabbit.
13:01LAUGHTER
13:03Everyone says this is the theory that if he looks completely mad,
13:06his enemies will think, well, he's capable of doing anything.
13:10Whereas, actually, it makes him look as though he's rather weak
13:14and he's got to shout and scream at them.
13:16I find it best to ignore what he says.
13:18Yeah.
13:19Unfortunately, this programme doesn't follow the same policy.
13:21LAUGHTER
13:22It's you and the Ayatollah.
13:23You've heard the rumours.
13:24Yeah.
13:25LAUGHTER
13:26I didn't know what sort of club it was when we went in there.
13:30LAUGHTER
13:31Let's see how the BBC reported Trump's full and frank posts.
13:36Mm.
13:37There will be nothing like it.
13:39Open the fucking straight, you crazy b****,
13:41or you will be living in hell.
13:43Well, budget cuts at ITV meant the loss of the bleep machine.
13:49LAUGHTER
13:49There will be nothing like it.
13:51Open the expletive straight, you crazy expletives,
13:55or you'll be living in hell.
13:56Gosh, the expletive straight's closed as well.
13:59LAUGHTER
13:59There was light relief at the White House.
14:03Yes, yeah.
14:04As children gathered in the rubble of the East Wing
14:07to see the Easter Bunny,
14:09let's see what Trump told those excited children.
14:12Oh, yes.
14:12But when a thing like that happens, where a pilot's shot down,
14:16in most instances, you're really not able to go in,
14:19because you'll go in with 200 people
14:22and lots of jet fighters and helicopters,
14:25and you really don't have a chance to get shot down.
14:29There is 200 in order to pick up one.
14:31It's a horrible thing.
14:34LAUGHTER
14:34At least the bunny is thinking to itself,
14:36what am I doing with my guns?
14:38LAUGHTER
14:39Is he talking to kids in that video?
14:42Yeah, well, we can't see the kids,
14:43but the bunny's standing next to him looking very sad and upset.
14:46LAUGHTER
14:47The question we have all been waiting for...
14:49Yes. Yes.
14:50What has happened to Randy George?
14:53Who?
14:54He's a general.
14:55You may have thought he was a turtle.
14:58No, what...
14:59LAUGHTER
15:01Why would I have thought he was a turtle?
15:03Lonesome George.
15:03Lonesome George is a very famous tortoise.
15:06Yes.
15:07LAUGHTER
15:07Now we're getting an insight.
15:09Thank God there's someone here with the detail.
15:12We're now getting an insight into the editorial meetings
15:14at Private Life.
15:15LAUGHTER
15:16In America they just will call people Randy.
15:18There's a guy called Randy Bumgardner.
15:20Just the best name in American politics.
15:23LAUGHTER
15:24That's Monty's nickname.
15:27LAUGHTER
15:29Is that an alias of yours on the internet?
15:31It is.
15:33He was actually the US Army, and I say was, chief of staff
15:37and is amongst at least 12 senior military officials
15:40that had been removed from their post after, according to The Telegraph,
15:43Secretary of War Pete Hegseth undertook a round of firings.
15:49Pete Hegseth's chief of staff reportedly said that Trump
15:51wouldn't want to stand next to a black woman officer.
15:54LAUGHTER
15:55He'd rather stand next to a giant bunny than a black female officer.
15:59Yes.
16:00He doesn't know who's inside the bunny costume, does he?
16:03LAUGHTER
16:04Back to the global show.
16:06LAUGHTER
16:08I think we prefer to call out Have I Got News For You.
16:11LAUGHTER
16:12As the world held its breath, Donald Trump's spokesperson,
16:16Caroline Leavitt, told the media,
16:18only the president knows where things stand and what he will do.
16:23I think it's even fewer people than that.
16:27LAUGHTER
16:30After the miraculous rescue of an airman for Iranian territory over Easter,
16:34Pete Hegseth said,
16:37shut down on Friday,
16:38hidden in a cave on Saturday,
16:40rescued on Sunday,
16:42so presumably making love by Monday.
16:45LAUGHTER
16:50OK.
16:52Before we move on, here are your jobs for the weekend.
16:55Do continue to deadhead those spring bulbs,
16:57and for those of you who enjoy tropical plants,
17:00it's a good opportunity to unfleece your banana.
17:04LAUGHTER
17:07Don't take this the wrong way, but is it too late to get somebody else?
17:10LAUGHTER
17:11On to round two.
17:12This is Monty's News Mulch,
17:15and I have here a necessary kit.
17:20I will water a seed in this pot,
17:23which will then germinate a picture and an audio clue.
17:26So, fingers on both.
17:27Is that what they've told you?
17:28LAUGHTER
17:29It will happen.
17:30It will happen, all right.
17:30Here we go.
17:31All right, real water, real seed.
17:36MUSIC PLAYS
17:41OK, well, that was the laughing gnome, David Bowie.
17:44And this is, I think, this is about the Chelsea Flower Show, isn't it?
17:47Where they had...
17:48I didn't realise there was a ban on gnomes,
17:50but they lifted the ban this year.
17:51What do you think about gnomes?
17:52Do you think they're nice,
17:53or do you think they're sort of strange,
17:55evil creatures which steal your soul at night?
17:57I think they're clearly strange,
17:59evil creatures that steal your soul at night.
18:01Yes, of course they are.
18:02Do you have any in your garden?
18:03No, because they steal my soul.
18:05LAUGHTER
18:06Would you sell your soul to win at the Chelsea Flower Show?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Moving on.
18:11LAUGHTER
18:13It's only the second time in 113 years that they're allowed.
18:18So, for the rest of the time,
18:19they're sent back from the main gate, are they?
18:21Yeah, they try and get in.
18:22They don't have the right ticket.
18:23They might hire a minibus,
18:24they might have come from Luton.
18:25Exactly.
18:26That's it, you can't get in.
18:28Five of them on each other's shoulders,
18:29trying to look like a normal person.
18:30Yeah.
18:32LAUGHTER
18:32Do you know what else is set to cause a buzz
18:34at this year's Chelsea Flower Show?
18:36Bees.
18:36Must be bees.
18:37No.
18:38David Beckham.
18:38What is he doing at Chelsea this year, do you know?
18:41Well, I mean, I believe he's designing a garden or something,
18:44but he's not, is he?
18:45Do you know who he's doing it with?
18:46Prince Charles.
18:47Yeah.
18:47Yeah.
18:48He's got seven flower beds to represent the number on his shirt,
18:52and zero sunflowers to represent the number of times
18:55he spoke to his own son in the last year.
18:58LAUGHTER
19:03Can I just ask, is that Beckham or King Charles?
19:07Ooh!
19:14Well, you're absolutely right, David Beckham is designing a garden
19:17with King Charles, or as the Daily Star referred to them both,
19:21Chas and Dave.
19:23LAUGHTER
19:23And according to The Telegraph, providing expertise for the garden
19:30is, yes, you've guessed it, it's TV's top gardener,
19:35national treasure, all-round good egg...
19:37Alan Titchmarsh.
19:38Yes.
19:39LAUGHTER
19:40Yes.
19:41Ooh!
19:44The bastard.
19:48Are you tempted at all to sneak in and take a waz on their dahlias?
19:52LAUGHTER
19:54No, I don't waz on anyone's dahlias.
19:57LAUGHTER
19:58We are all an incredibly happy family in the gardening world,
20:01and we love each other, really.
20:03That doesn't sound very likely.
20:05LAUGHTER
20:06Moving on.
20:07LAUGHTER
20:09This is the return of The Chelsea Flower Show.
20:12This year's show also includes an erotic-themed garden,
20:15and I'm happy to tell you that my favourite position is the wheelbarrow.
20:20LAUGHTER
20:20I go outside on my own and I push a wheelbarrow up and down the garden.
20:25LAUGHTER
20:27Anyway...
20:27Are you fully cognizant of what you're saying?
20:30LAUGHTER
20:32You had a TV career before you came on this show.
20:36LAUGHTER
20:36Just leave the autocue monster, you'll be fine.
20:39LAUGHTER
20:40OK.
20:41Brace yourselves.
20:43Go on.
20:43Fingers on buzzer.
20:44I'm watering the seed.
20:46Ooh, hanky-panky.
20:48Oh, yeah, good luck with that one, Chris.
20:50LAUGHTER
20:52OK, well, we're seeing Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jakes in bed.
20:55Hanky-panky.
20:56This is a phrase which apparently younger people don't know what it means.
21:00That's right.
21:00They don't use it anymore.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Apparently 67% of Gen Z say they've never heard the phrase hanky-panky before.
21:08The Daily Star gave a rundown of the least understood innuendos and here they are.
21:14OK.
21:16At number ten, a seeing-to at 28%.
21:21Oh, God.
21:22Justine at number nine is getting your leg over at 30%.
21:25Dropping down to number eight is screwing at 32%.
21:30Holding its own at number seven is nookie at 48%.
21:34And a new entry, rumpy-pumpy at 61% at number six.
21:40Steadily at number five, hanky-panky, 67%.
21:43And just below the top three, at number four, slap and tickle, 68%.
21:48LAUGHTER
21:48And then, unbelievably, number three, making love for 71% have not heard of it.
21:54What?
21:55Number two, kept off the top spot is a knee trembler, 76%.
21:59LAUGHTER
22:00And topping the charts, number one, how's your father?
22:07APPLAUSE
22:1271% of younger people don't know the phrase making love.
22:15Well, it strikes me if that's the case, there'll be no more Gens after Gen Z.
22:20LAUGHTER
22:21How many times do you have to hear the words rumpy-pumpy before guessing?
22:24You think it's a type of pudding.
22:26LAUGHTER
22:27No public school.
22:29LAUGHTER
22:29Oh, gosh, rumpy-pumpy today.
22:32Thank you, patron.
22:34LAUGHTER
22:36Oh, Monty and I are going back.
22:39We're going all dewy-eyed.
22:41LAUGHTER
22:43Time now for the odd one out round.
22:45Just one between you this week.
22:47Yeah.
22:47Your four are Joan Collins, Alan Titchmarsh.
22:51Yes.
22:51Jacob Rees-Mogg.
22:52Yes.
22:53And me.
22:54And you.
22:55Mm.
22:55Oh, there you are, lying.
22:56Yeah, I'm here.
22:57That's the fourth picture.
22:58Um, OK.
22:59Well, Alan Titchmarsh is incredibly successful.
23:02Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:03LAUGHTER
23:06Really, really loved by the British public.
23:08Yeah.
23:10Jacob Rees-Mogg is not loved by the British public,
23:13so maybe the other two aren't either.
23:15Well...
23:16LAUGHTER
23:16Has it got anything to do with writing novels?
23:19Has Alan Titchmarsh has written a novel, hasn't he?
23:21Yeah, erotic novel.
23:23Yeah.
23:23Monty, I mean, certainly you're here,
23:24might as well ask you, have you written any novels?
23:26I haven't written any novels and you're wildly off track.
23:28Have you written any erotic novels?
23:30Not only have I not written any novels,
23:32I haven't written any erotic novels either.
23:33That's the kind of thing someone would say
23:35if they have written an erotic novel.
23:36LAUGHTER
23:38I'm going to give you a clue.
23:39It's something to do with clothing that we don't like.
23:43Underwear.
23:43Do you wear underwear?
23:45No, I don't.
23:45I do wear underwear, but it's none of your business.
23:49Alan Titchmarsh has had his trousers censored.
23:51Yes, you're on the right track.
23:53Because he was wearing jeans.
23:54Yeah, in Korea, I think he was.
23:56Yeah, yeah.
23:56Monty Don, always naked.
23:59LAUGHTER
24:01Erm...
24:02It's the correct answer.
24:03LAUGHTER
24:05It's sort of right.
24:06The truth is that none of us wear jeans except for Alan Titchmarsh,
24:12whose jeans were censored by North Korea.
24:15This is because they're seen as a sort of Western attire.
24:19Exactly.
24:19Yes, that's exactly right.
24:19Capitalist decadent.
24:20Capitalist trousers.
24:21Let's have a look at Alan's pixelated bottom half.
24:24There he is.
24:26LAUGHTER
24:29I mean, it makes it look ruder than it actually ever was.
24:32LAUGHTER
24:34Do you know why Joan Collins doesn't wear jeans?
24:37She doesn't like them.
24:38Yes.
24:40LAUGHTER
24:43Jacob Rees-Mogg also admitted he's never wore jeans
24:46and asked by Andrew Marr if he had ever owned jeans or a T-shirt.
24:51Rees-Mogg responded, why would I want to?
24:54LAUGHTER
24:55Instead, he said he prefers to wear a suit when relaxing.
25:00Presumably like this.
25:02LAUGHTER
25:03Why don't you wear jeans?
25:05They're really cold in winter, they're hot in summer,
25:08they're slow to dry when they're wet and they chafe.
25:10In places where you don't want to chafe.
25:13Well, like Donkester.
25:15No, you've got it.
25:17Time now for the missing words round,
25:19which this week features as its guest publication,
25:22Moth Mumblings,
25:23the newsletter of the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Moth Group.
25:27And we start with...
25:29You'll feel better if you what with the lights off.
25:32Is it practice incest?
25:34LAUGHTER
25:35No, no, no.
25:36Oh, you'd like the lights on, would you?
25:38LAUGHTER
25:41It's you'll feel better if you shower with the lights off.
25:45Oh!
25:45Do it every day, still don't feel better.
25:49LAUGHTER
25:50APPLAUSE
25:51It's a lie.
25:53Next.
25:55Moth Mumblings sometimes includes content about what,
25:58but only if it's interesting enough.
26:01Is it Jacob Rees-Mogg?
26:04LAUGHTER
26:04Moth Mumblings sometimes include content about butterflies
26:07and other flying insects, but only if it's interesting enough.
26:10Well, no, the answer is moths from outside the Hertfordshire
26:13and Middlesex area.
26:15LAUGHTER
26:16LAUGHTER
26:18I'm surprised you didn't get that.
26:19I should have, no, I'd be on the tip of my tongue.
26:21This is from Moth Mumblings, which, incidentally, is quite a new magazine.
26:25It's emerged recently from Caterpillar Monthly.
26:29LAUGHTER
26:29And now, finally, octopuses like to what using what?
26:36Does it count to eight using their legs?
26:40Octopuses like to make love using a specialised mating arm.
26:46Oh, I've got one of them.
26:48LAUGHTER
26:50He only uses it on himself.
26:51Yeah.
26:53But you can make a cup of tea at the same time.
26:55LAUGHTER
26:56And stir the sugar in.
27:00This is the revelation that a male octopus has a special arm
27:05known as a hectocotylus, which he uses to deliver a parcel of sperm.
27:11Or if you're out, he will leave it with a neighbour.
27:13LAUGHTER
27:15So, we have the final scores.
27:18Do we?
27:18Yes.
27:19Yeah.
27:19Which are...
27:20Oh, no, we haven't lost, have we?
27:21Ian and Helen have five.
27:24And Paul and Chris have six.
27:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:31On which note, we say thank you to our panellists, Ian Hislop
27:35and Helen Lewis, Paul Merton and Chris McCausland.
27:38And I leave you with news that, in Canterbury, police chiefs deny their
27:43recruits aren't up to the job as one stops a passer-by to ask which way
27:47the suspected cathedral robber went.
27:50LAUGHTER
27:54At Heathrow, an air traffic controller tells an incoming 747 to aim for
28:00those red dots.
28:02LAUGHTER
28:05And the Queen's habit of leaving a pork pie tucked behind her ear for later...
28:10LAUGHTER
28:10..has its inevitable consequences.
28:14LAUGHTER
28:15Good night.
28:17APPLAUSE
28:28You can listen to live Coventry reports, a reaction from Augusta.
28:32You can follow The Masters with BBC Sounds.
28:35This and everything across the BBC is made possible because we're funded by you.
28:40What are those criminal masterminds next?
28:42It's the Young Offenders.
