@@MB-dg3lr clearly some elaboration is needed: So his sister needed to get from England to Ireland for a friend’s wedding. This however was at the time when that Icelandic volcano had grounded all planes and she couldn’t use the ferry as strikes were stopping her. So he listed her on eBay as ‘damsel in distress needs knight in shining armour’ to get her there. And this guy eventually won, and used his private helicopter to take her and was her date, and sometime later the two eventually married.
41:22 Well said Paul Merton! I've always thought there was a disconnect between the news media and much of the UK population with regard to royal weddings etc. The overwhelming and hysterical media coverage is not justified by the amount of interest displayed by a large percentage of British people which ranges mostly between indifference and antagonism. The response from Kevin Bridges and the audience was quite telling.
The media don’t seem to realise that a heck of a lot of people in Britain don’t care either way about the royal family! I wish they would reduce the coverage of them
@@billkingston4402 Worth reading about the formation of the idea of the "Royal Family," an entirely unknown concept until Victoria and the empire needed a PR boost. It is all propaganda, every shred of it.
The joke about there being "an arse" on the other side of the wall, reminded me that there literally was a place in Lillehammer where there is a wall, and outside it is.. well.. a statue of MOST of a moose.. I remember that I have been inside the building, but I don't remember if they actually had a moose head on the wall or not, but..
1:06:05 I'm always telling my Canadian friends about how northern accents aren't allowed on TV except in comedy. Going to add this to my collection of evidence.
0:37 That look ian gave at the "mine camp" joke...... that made me laugh out loud. He was so perturbed but couldn't help a little chuckle. And seemed to be immediately ashamed of himself. Just a funny look......😂 Usually he just buries his head in his hands or squints really hard at off color jokes. His "play your Iraqi cards right" reaction was hilarious as well. And he was so ashamed of that bit..... He brought it up in multiple interviews for years after. 😂
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-POO4lrTclNY.html
I'm not sure if it's the editing, but the way Ian and Paul repeatedly have a go at John bishop appears unjustified. Have I missed something about John?
I've been trying to come up with a list of words to describe how much I dislike Chris Addison. Then my cat pissed on the list. I think that sums my feelings about Mr. Addison. Cheers.🐱

As far as I know, TV licence is required for any device which can capture BBC channels (signals). Here you are not capturing BBC signals but watching posted videos.
@@The.Intruder I checked and I was wrong, you _do_ need a licence to use iPlayer. But that's the only exception. You need a licence precisely if you either want to watch live TV (any channel, by any means), or use iPlayer.
I love the smugness in Ken's reply to Ian's "Is a squid a mollusc?": "Noooo..." And then he goes on to jokingly mock Hislop's education, and calls the snail that the story is about, a squid. And by the way - a squid is, of course, a mollusc.
I think you got that wrong, Ken pointed out that a molluscs didn't need a shell when others asked if a squid was a mollusc, Ian then asked if a newt was a mollusc to which Ken replied with no. I'm no fan of Ken, but I think you misread that situation.
@@robertfrazer8161 I disagree. John wanted to make snarky comments about them cos he thinks theyre snobs. Paul and Ian just shut him up. He does the same on QI, making fun of smart people like a jock yelling "neeerrrrrdddd".
