For some reason, as a hobby linguist, I wanted to shout into Frank Skinner's face that the British way of using the common letter S is more commonly represented by the letter C (S in English, K in Keltic).
It’s so amusing to see the definitive Englishness (mostly middle class, Paul doesn’t react like this) as they wince and shudder at Brown trying unsuccessfully to greet the Bobby at number ten. Obama doesn’t understand English culture (who does? Not even them!) so he gets away with it. Brown is Scottish, so he gets away with absolutely nothing. But the fear of social awkwardness or embarrassment is so profound in the English middle and upper classes, that it would be easy to defeat them. Wouldn’t even need military power. Just the internet and the airwaves.
37:08 In the wrtiters' room: "Sir, we haven't exhausted our "Use It Or Lose It" racism ration!!" "You know what to do." 37:21 "Sir, it's not enough!" "Initiate Protocol 'HopeyChangey,' and abandon ship."
Why does Merton ALWAYS flick his head left and right with a confused look on his face when he sits next to someone he doesn't rate much? He'd be lousy at poker.
you'd be even lousier if you can't work it out? it's a little comic reaction to what people say, like the double take..it gets a titter from the audience. oh and it's not because he doesn't rate them....
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 ?"
@@fredflintstoner596 Oh where has this golden comedy gone???? These days, stuff like this would be boo-hooed by the "political correctness" police. So, don't mention the war!!!! I mentioned it once and I think I got away with it!!!!! Wir wollen ein Auto mieten!!!! Oh, you are volunteering to get some meat!!!! We have plenty of meat in the kitchen!!!!!
It is definitely too late for me now, but I wish I could have told the panelists how much I appreciate the effort they made in this episode.
Worthy to note that in a later episode, Alan Duncan did get his ass in trouble for his remarks here and had to pay the government back.
There was room for a Moo-ssolini joke in there
Love the way Frank says " 'islop".
Thanks for posting.
Thank you!

Thanks for the tip! My ancestors and about 250 of their drunken buddies unsuccessfully invaded Canada. Next stop: The UK!!!
0:12 I know just how she feels
I know the queen was on the short side, but this episode has made me realize just how tall Barack and Michelle Obama really are.
the cows refuse to be kosher?
Also it crap when you have to keep explaining your jokes 🤣
Are you referring to Paul Merton by any chance?

Mmmm, the first people Mr Hislop and Ms Brand would scream to help them if they were in trouble would be the very police that they insult.
Get a life Barry.

Ms Brand wouldn’t call them, she’s a woman and knows their form, as does anyone who reads the damn news.
@@lizziebkennedy7505 I would marry her. I'd be a dreadful husband, but I totally would.
Put down by Alan Duncan. OUCH!
FLOTUS isn't far from Floater.
Skinner is TERRIBLE now. Awful "jokes".
Says you. Many of us here loved him.
