On Lee Mack's team tonight, a comedian from Devon who is truly the cream of the crop, or should that be the jam of the crop?
I never know which goes first.
It's Josh Widdicombe.
(audience applauds) And a star of "Made In Chelsea,' a show so posh, it makes "Downton Abbey" look like "EastEnders."
It's Sophie Hermann.
(audience applauds) And on David Mitchell's team tonight, a DJ and presenter who loves garage classics.
My favorite garage classic is treating myself to a scratchcard when I pay for my petrol.
It's Gemma Cairney.
(audience applauds) And a man famous for his hammer.
No, not the Norse God Thor.
It's auctioneer and "Four Rooms" star, Raj Bisram.
(audience applauds) So, to Round 1, Home Truths, where our panelists read out a statement from the card in front of them.
To make things harder, they've never seen the card before, so they have no idea what they'll be faced with.
It's up to the opposing team to sort the fact from the fiction.
Josh, you're first tonight.
- Okay.
Possession.
- Ah, right.
First of all, yes, take the item out and pop it on the desk, then read out the card.
- "This is my wooly hat.
I can't wear it because whenever my ears get warm, I fall asleep."
(audience laughs) - Right.
David's team.
- When?
What?
(audience laughs) How long does it take you to fall asleep if your ears get warm?
- Um, well, I'd say 10 minutes.
The problem you've done there now, Josh, is, you've made it possible to demonstrate.
(audience laughs) You might want to change that to four and a half days.
- Okay, do you want me to put the hat on for 10 minutes?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- And have you had many embarrassing situations with this as- - Well, I'm currently wearing it on prime-time TV.
(audience laughs) - Have you, like, snoozed off?
- I have.
Yeah.
- At awkward moments?
- I've snoozed off probably three times.
- Will you describe the three times in reverse order of hilariousness?
(audience laughs) - Okay, so all three times have been on trains.
And in reverse order of hilariousness, didn't miss my stop, didn't miss my stop, missed my stop.
(audience laughs) - You've got the order right there.
- Gemma's got one that only covers one ear.
Are you sleepy on the left-hand side?
- I am, yeah.
(audience laughs) Don't judge me, but I just... Can I?
Genuinely, my ears are warming up and I'm feeling.
Can I take it off?
- Genuinely, are you feeling a bit drowsy?
- Presumably, sometimes you don't want to fall asleep.
But wouldn't it also be quite useful if it's true because- - I do.
I have done that, Rob.
- To get off, stick it on.
- I can honestly tell you, Rob, that this has never helped me get off.
(audience laughs) - I don't think anyone would get off if you wear that.
(audience laughs) - Aw, so soon in the show, Sophie!
- Sorry.
- There's 7 billion people on this planet.
Some of them are into anything.
(audience laughs) - Oh, that's reassuring!
Thank you very much, David.
- Exactly.
- There's some weirdo out there that would be into me in a hat.
- Do you know what, David?
Since you got married, you've been very cocky.
(audience laughs) - So, why were you wearing it on the train anyway?
They're not perfectly run, our railways, but I don't usually find that the temperature is Arctic in a railway carriage.
- I'll be honest with you, David.
- Don't insult me with that phrase, because we know... The format is, you may not be being honest, and I won't hold that against you, it's a parlor game.
You're not denying an affair.
(audience laughs) - You're not denying it?
(audience laughs) - Josh Widdicombe fails to deny affair!
(audience laughs) - This sounds crass, but I wore it on the train because I didn't want people to recognise me.
- So, you thought the way of detracting attention is to put on an enormous bobble hat?
(audience and Josh laughs) - [ROB] What are you thinking, Gemma?
- I don't think this is true, I think it's a lie.
- Yeah, it's got to be a lie.
Who falls asleep by putting a hat on?
- Well, I think it might be true.
But I'm not going to overrule my team because, I'm just gonna- - You don't have the strength of character for that.
- I don't, no.
(audience laughs) - Okay, so they're saying it's a lie.
Josh Widdicombe, truth or lie?
- David, it's true.
- Ah!
- Wow.
(audience applauds) - Yes, it's true.
Josh does fall asleep if his ears get warm.
Raj, you're next.
- "I used to practice skiing by strapping myself to the roof of a speeding car."
(audience laughs) - [ROB] Lee's team.
- Is this how you lost your hair?
(audience laughs) - Might have something to do with it.
- So, okay, when was this?
- Ooh, back in the late '70s, early '80s.
I was a skier.
- What, a professional skier?
- Yes.
- Before you were an antiques guy?
- Yes.
- And you learned that on a car?
- No, it was part of my training.
We didn't have a lot of money, so we wanted to get used to going fast, so we used to strap- - Where was this?
- In Austria.
- In Austria.
- Right, 'cause there are no mountains in Austria that you could practice on.
(audience laughs) - Are you talking about a professional skier in events or you mean you taught people to ski?
- No, I also raced around Europe.
- I'll tell you what, if he's lying and he just added in, "I was a professional skier", he's risking it, isn't it?
Because we're gonna ask him questions.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Who was the best downhill skier in the '80s?
- Franz Klammer.
- Not you!
- Oh, sorry.
(audience laughs) - Franz Klammer.
- Ugh!
Now we'll never know!
- So, why wouldn't you use the mountains in Austria, then?
- Well, for two reasons.
- What are they?
- Um... (audience laughs) One is, I would have been a danger on the slopes.
- Are you not a danger when you're strapped to a car on a road?
- No, we weren't on a road.
- Oh, where were you?
- Uh, a racetrack.
Well, it's actually a trotting track.
- [JOSH] A what?
- It's for horses that trot round.
- And how do you learn to ride them?
Do you put the horse on top of the car and then you get on top of the horse?
(audience laughs) You were never on a public road, were you?
- No.
- There was never any situations where the driver forgot and thought, "Oh, I'll just pop into this underground car park."
- Nothing like that.
Nothing like that.
- What was the second reason?
You never got to that.
- We didn't have the money either.
- But you had the money for a car and the hiring of a racetrack.
- We didn't have to hire the racetrack.
The car was thrown in, as it were.
It was a special car, 'cause it had to have a very long roof rack.
(audience laughs) - What were you practicing?
- The feeling of speed.
- So, what sort of speeds are we talking about?
- We tried to get to speeds between 60 and 80 miles per hour.
- No!
- No!
- Yeah.
- And all that's holding you on is the boot attached to the skis?
- Yes.
- And what sort of pose now, then, are you doing?
Could you show us the kind of position you would assume?
- I'd start standing up and then I'd get down into this position with my sticks here like this.
- On the top of the car.
- How long is the journey?
- We'd just keep going round the track till, you know, we were tired.
- How are you telling the driver?
- Yes!
That's a good point.
- Because you're on top of a car going at 60 miles an hour.
And you're thinking, "I'm knackered here."
And so, what?
- Well, I've got poles and we had a system where you would just bang the car.
- Oh, come on!
(audience laughs) - One bang for stop.
Two bangs for a snack.
(audience laughs) - [ROB] What are we thinking?
Sophie, could he be telling the truth?
- It's a nein for me.
It's a lie.
- I don't know what you learn.
What's that training you to do in the car?
Because if you're on a ski slope going, "Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I'm at 60 mph!
I think I'm gonna crash into the tree.
Oh, I know!
I'll tap on the window.
Oh, no.
There is no window!"
(audience laughs) What are you training to do?
- You know, just get used to the speed.
- Right, what's your team going to say, Lee?
- It's a lie.
- Do you think it's a lie?
- Lie.
- We're gonna go lie.
- [ROB] You're saying it's a lie.
Raj, was it true?
Were you telling a lie?
- I was, in fact, telling the truth.
- Oh!
- No way!
What?
(audience applauds) - Yes, it's true.
Raj really did practice skiing on the roof of a car.
Sophie, you're next.
- Okay.
"Last year at a charity dinner, I asked Prince William to fetch me a drink because I thought he was a waiter."
- [ROB] David's team.
(audience laughs) - So, describe the scene.
How many people are at this dinner?
- 30, maybe 40.
- Okay.
- Had you ever seen Prince William before?
- I have.
And I actually used to be such a big fan of him in the '90s when he still had hair.
(audience laughs) - Raj, I am so sorry.
- Well, I mean... - [ROB] We invited her on the show, we had no idea.
- I'm sorry.
- So, what happened then?
Talk us through the chain of events.
- We were at, ugh, what's this place called?
Balmoral.
- [RAJ] "What's this place called?
Balmoral".
- You were at Balmoral?
- We were mingling, I always get really hungry at these events and I'm just busy shoving my face into the canapes.
And then I kind of, one got a little bit stuck in the wrong pipe.
So, I was half-choking, basically.
It was a terrible situation.
So, I just tapped on some shoulder.
And I mean, it was a balding man.
- How did he respond?
- He was like, "Oh, my God, here.
Are you okay?"
I was just so embarrassed.
- Let's re-enact it.
I'll be Prince William, of course.
And you be you.
So, you start having your little coughing fit.
I'm just stood here talking to friends.
(Sophie coughs) I mean, it's an absolutely wonderful event, isn't it?
Yes.
I mean, gosh.
Crikey, crikey.
Gosh, I think it's- - You're doing Hugh Grant.
(audience laughs) - It's the closest I have to Prince William.
- Okay, right.
- Right.
- I'd do it as Ronnie Corbett.
- [David] Yes.
I think that... - (chuckles) We're having a wonderful night.
(audience laughs and applauds) Imagine Lee as Prince William.
Let's see, Lee will do this beautifully.
Watch this.
Watch this.
(Sophie coughs) - Are you Welsh?
- Water?
(audience laughs and applauds) - [ROB] So, what are you gonna say, David?
- [DAVID] I'll tell you one of my issues with it.
- Go on.
- I have a few issues.
Well, firstly, the location.
- Balmoral.
- Balmoral.
- Yeah, you don't often see royals there, do you?
- No, but I don't think they hold many charity events for 50 people there.
I think that usually happens at other places where the royals sort of come in and are the honored guests.
- [ROB] What about Racing Raj?
What do you think?
- Well, I think she could have been there, but the fact is for me that she didn't recognize him.
- Just another bald guy to her.
(audience laughs) Her words, not mine.
So, what's it gonna be?
What do you think?
- I think the location is the chink in the story, so I think maybe it's not true.
- Yeah.
- Not true.
- We're gonna go not true.
- You're saying lie?
- Yeah.
- Okay, Sophie, at Balmoral, truth or lie?
It is, of course, a lie.
(audience applauds) - It's a lie.
Our next round is called This Is My, where we bring on a mystery guest who has a close connection to one of our panelists.
This week, each of David's team will claim it's them that has the genuine connection to the guest.
It's up to Lee's team to spot who's telling the truth.
So, please welcome this week's special guest, Sean.
(audience applauds) So, Raj, what is Sean to you?
- This is Sean.
I used to whip his shirt off in public for money.
(audience laughs) - All right, Raj's bare-chested buddy.
Gemma, how do you know Sean?
- This is Sean, and at school, he blew up my Wotsits.
- Right, Gemma's crisp combustor.
And finally, David, what is your relationship with Sean?
- This is Sean.
As a boy, I would only let him cut my hair if he was dressed as Zorro.
(audience laughs) - So, there we have it.
Raj's bare-chested buddy, Gemma's crisp combustor, or David's heroic hairdresser.
Lee's team, where will you begin?
- Okay, Raj, you used to rip his shirt off for money?
- Yep.
- When was this?
- Back in the early '80s.
- Well, let's just get straight to the point.
What the hell are you talking about?
(audience laughs) Why did you rip his shirt off for money?
- Well, I'm a bit of a keen amateur magician.
- Oh, hello.
Where did you learn this, on top of a bicycle?
(audience laughs) - But I also owned a bistro, so it allowed me- - Oh, hello, one thing at a time.
- What a life you've led!
- And because I had the bistro, it allowed me to indulge my passion of magic.
So, I used to hold magic evenings where we'd give them dinner and then I'd, you know, we'd do close-up magic and then we'd end up doing a little bit of a cabaret.
- So what was the trick that involved you ripping off his shirt?
- Well, it was the finale to the cabaret act.
- What was the finale?
- Ripping his shirt off.
- That's not a trick.
That's assault.
(audience laughs) - Talk us through it, Raj.
We've come to your bistro and we've had a super evening.
The food is lovely.
And then, ooh, hang on.
What's happening now?
- Yeah, I would ask for a volunteer to come out.
- Right.
- And lots of people would put their hands up, but I would choose Sean.
- Oh, it was planned.
- He was my stooge.
- So, you're telling me that the regulars used to go, "That fellow's in again.
(audience laughs) He's having a terrible night."
"Wait till the end of the night and you'll see what happens.
It gets worse.
(audience laughs) Every week he falls for this, the poor fellow."
(audience laughs) I'm a viewer, don't tell me how it's done.
As a viewer, what would I have seen?
- You would have seen my volunteer come out and I would sit him down on a chair.
I would tell him to relax, I would undo some buttons.
- And would you take it from the collar and just go whoosh and it would come off?
- Yeah, something like that.
- Did it ever go wrong?
Did you ever, like, take his nose off?
- Well, we had a few incidents.
- What happened when it went wrong?
- Well, he's the third stooge I've had.
(audience laughs) - All right, who would you like to quiz next?
- Gemma?
- Gemma.
- Okay.
So, he blew up your Wotsits?
The little snack.
- Mm-hmm.
- Was it a very strict school?
- Yeah, I was at school.
He was my teacher and I was being naughty by eating in the back of the room, just being a bit of a troublemaker.
- How did he blow it up?
- Well, he was in the middle of doing an experiment and then he made an example of me by taking the packet to the front of the room where this experiment was happening and like sprayed it with like a dry oxygen or something, like some sort of steamy thing.
The Bunsen burner was going, and then they just went, boom!
- Just by heating them up?
- Yeah.
But it was something to do with what was sprayed, like this kind of- - Petrol.
- Yeah.
(audience laughs) And then everybody was laughing and then he said, "That's what will happen if you eat Wotsits."
- Did it stop you from eating in class?
Did it have the desired effect?
- It had the desired effect.
And we got on a lot more after that as well.
- It broke the ice.
- Yeah.
- Suddenly it was "Dead Poets Society."
Aw.
(audience laughs) - What's his surname?
- Smith.
- Smith?
How did you just think of that like that?
(audience laughs) - Did Smith's make, no, it's Golden Wonder, isn't it?
- I think Golden Wonder sold Wotsits, I think, to Walkers.
I think it was a major corporate error because they were losing market share in their crisps, but they had this Wotsits brand.
And then on some dark day, they decided to sell that brand and then they were left with nothing.
And that shows you the kind of error that can be made at a corporate level.
- So, we should be careful before we believe that these corporations are sort of magical and the private sector can do things.
So, before we sell the NHS down the river, remember the idiocy of Golden Wonder!
(audience applauds) - Okay, now, then, what about David?
Just remind us, David.
- As a boy, I would only let Sean cut my hair if he was dressed as Zorro.
- Doesn't seem very worth his while.
What was the kind of, how much were you paying him to dress as Zorro for this one haircut?
- To be honest, I was a child.
I didn't pay him.
- This is the bit I doubt, that David was a child ever.
(audience laughs) Did you go asking for Zorro or was it just an optional thing he used to put on the board?
"As Zorro, an extra three pound."
- I think my parents requested Zorro.
- What?
- What?
- Why?
- Well, because I was nervous about having a haircut.
I think I was about five, something like that.
And I think they had an awkward experience with me freaking out in a previous hairdressing encounter.
- Yeah, it makes sense.
Let's calm him down by getting someone to do it with a blindfold and holding a big, sharp knife.
- Let's remind ourselves.
Here's Zorro.
Have a look.
Is that how he would dress up?
- As far as I remember, he had a black hat and a black mask.
- Hang on, this show's taken a sort of "Let's help David" turn, hasn't it?
"So, tell us what you looked like."
"Well, here's a picture of him."
- Would you genuinely otherwise have thought I hadn't heard of Zorro?
- No, but you might have got it wrong.
- You know, he wore the classic Zorro fireman's helmet.
(audience laughs) And the stethoscope.
- [LEE] So, how old were you?
Five, I think.
Might have been six, I'm not sure.
- How old was he, approximately?
- How old was he?
- Don't look at him!
(audience laughs) - You can't stop me looking at him.
I think he was in his 20s.
- Right, so, let's be kind and say 21.
So, therefore, he's 15 years older than you at that time.
- Yeah.
- [LEE] You're saying this man is 15 years older than you.
- [ROB] And how old are you, 47?
- You look approximately the same age to me as that man.
- Okay.
(audience laughs) - Paint a picture for us.
Young Master David is going to the high street, to the barber's, unaware of the great fame and glory that lies ahead of him.
For now, he's just a small boy.
- Yes.
- What happens?
- I can't remember the details, but broadly I was very nervous about going to the hairdresser's.
"I don't want to go in, Mummy!
No, no!"
(audience laughs) "I want to go home and write with my crayons."
(audience laughs) "I'm going to write a satirical look back at the week that's just happened.
(chuckles)" (audience laughs and applauds) "My friends in playgroup are telling me I'm quite the wit, (chuckles)" (audience laughs) - I mean, I was probably unbearable, you're right.
You know, I contemplate that every day.
- You say unbearable, I say adorable.
- Thank you.
I don't remember the details.
(audience laughs) What's that?
- I'm sending you a heart.
- Oh, is that a heart?
I thought that was saying, "Remember your kidneys."
(audience laughs) - Right, we need an answer.
So, Lee's team, is Sean Raj's bare-chested buddy, Gemma's crisp combustor, or David's heroic hairdresser?
- I'm struggling with David's here a little bit.
- Yes, so, Gemma's Wotsits.
That's very believable, that's the kind of thing a kind of wacky science teacher would do to invent a passion in science.
- It is very believable.
And what's unbelievable is the idea that... (snaps) Now, Raj.
- Have you left the gas on?
(audience laughs) - Raj, show us a trick?
- If I could have half an hour.
- Yeah.
- And the use of the internet, I'm sure I could do that.
- Oh, yeah, but what did you think the question was?
(audience laughs) I don't know.
What do you think?
- I think he does look a lot like a science teacher.
I think Gemma is telling the truth.
- So, we're gonna say Gemma.
- Yeah.
- Gemma?
You're saying it's Gemma.
Okay, right.
So, Sean, would you please reveal your true identity?
- I'm Sean, and Raj used to whip my shirt off for money.
- Oh, come on!
(audience laughs and applauds) - No way, Raj!
- Yes, Sean is Raj's bare-chested buddy.
And we can now see the trick.
So you're gonna need to wear masks for this, please.
Sean- - Zorro masks!
(audience laughs) - You take a position there in the chair.
And then over to you, Raj.
- [SOPHIE] Oh, God.
- Well, I would simply get Sean out as my stooge.
We'd act as if we didn't know each other.
I'd say, "Good evening, how are you?"
And I would undo his wrist button, and then I would undo this button.
And then as you can see, I'd undo this button.
And then all I'd say is, on the count of three, we'd say some magic words.
And tonight they are, "Would I Lie To You?"
So, on the count of three.
One, two three.
- [AUDIENCE] "Would I Lie To You?"
- [SEAN] Whoa!
- Oh hang on.
What's happened?
I've nearly killed him.
(audience laughs and applauds) - Oh, my God!
(audience laughs) - It's the greatest thing that's ever happened on this show!
- So, then you just give a free Limoncello to the whole restaurant.
- Do you know what would be great now?
If he came back and said, "Sorry, I've been having a breakdown.
I'm actually Gemma's science teacher."
(audience laughs) The noise was the best bit.
"Ugh!"
(audience laughs) - 30 years since we've done it.
- I've just got pictures of him 30 years ago, just coming in every week, going, "Can you please do it right this time?"
- It was the second pull.
(audience laughs) You deciding to go again was the cruelest bit.
Why did you keep going?
- Thank God you didn't cut him in half!
(audience laughs) - Is Sean all right?
- Yeah.
Who cares?
(audience laughs) - Raj!
- He's fine.
- I love the idea that you had to put masks on for safety reasons.
(audience laughs and applauds) And then almost took his head off.
- Which brings us to our final round, Quickfire Lies, and we start with, it's Lee.
- "I was pecked in the eye twice while closely inspecting a cuckoo clock at precisely two PM."
(audience laughs) - [ROB] David's team.
- I've seen worse injuries tonight.
- Yeah.
(audience laughs) - Where was this cuckoo clock?
- It was on my wall.
- Why were you inspecting it?
- Because it wasn't working properly.
- Oh, it sounds like it was.
(audience laughs) - So it turns out.
- [RAJ] When did this happen?
- It happened at two o'clock.
Were you listening?
(audience laughs) - You're at home, you're relaxing at Mack Acres and you... - Yeah.
Well, it was in the '90s.
- Oh.
Right.
- Mack Bedsit.
- What's a bedsit?
- What's a bedsit?
- Yeah.
- A bedsit is like a very small flat.
It's probably where your staff live.
(audience laughs) - If you knew at two o'clock, it was going to come out, does that seem a little bit strange to be getting very close to it?
- No, because it was coming out at, well, at midday, it was coming out at five past twelve, and at one o'clock it came out at five past.
And I kept tinkering with the bits inside and I thought, "It's gonna happen again, this, isn't it?"
'Cause I haven't fixed it.
And I went in close, thinking, this time when it strikes two, I'm gonna listen to the noise it makes inside, 'cause it's not going to come out, is it?
Bang!
Right in the eye.
Bang!
Right in the eye.
- So, essentially, you were a victim of your own clock-mending success.
- Absolutely, did enough fiddling to produce a result.
(audience laughs) - All right, what do you think, David?
- What do you think?
- Cobblers.
- Rubbish.
- [ROB] What are you going to say?
- I think we're gonna say lie.
- You're gonna say it's a lie.
Okay, Lee, truth or lie?
- It's a lie.
(audience applauds) - Next, it's Josh.
- Ooh!
"Even though we use the same brand, I insist my wife and I have separate tubes of toothpaste because the way she squeezes hers is just plain wrong."
- David's team.
- Right.
- I can believe that.
To be honest, it happens with us as well.
We've got separate toothpaste tubes, so.
- What does your wife do, then?
- I squeeze mine up from the bottom.
She'll just squeeze it randomly.
- Is that like you, Josh?
- No.
- I'd imagine when you squeeze your tube, the whole blooming head comes off.
(audience laughs) - So, I do mine traditionally, from the top.
From the top?
That's not traditional.
- That's not traditional.
- Well, no, no, the toothpaste comes out the top.
- [DAVID] Oh, yes.
Yeah, that is traditional.
- It is traditional.
Do you know what, David?
Thank you very much.
Because I've been having this argument for six or seven years.
- Did she just cut a hole in the side?
- No, not the side.
So, she cuts the bottom corner off.
You know- - No, she doesn't.
- No, she does!
Like, you know, with a 99 when you bite the bottom off it?
- [DAVID] Yes.
- 'Cause she doesn't like the way the top clags up with toothpaste.
So, about halfway through, she'll cut the bottom corner off and go from the bottom to get a new kind of exit.
- Yeah, she'll initially make some use of the top nozzle.
- [JOSH] Until it starts to get claggy.
- And then she cuts it a little rectum.
- Yes.
(audience laughs) - It seems to me a very simple solution.
You have your own tubes each.
- Yeah, they do.
- Yeah, we do.
- That's the point.
(audience laughs) That's what we're being invited to believe or disbelieve.
- I have found this very reassuring, because you've all backed up my approach and you've totally backed up the way I'm living my life.
- I think I believe it.
I just want to know when you found this out.
- It was probably when we moved in together.
And to be honest, I didn't have an issue with it.
I thought initially, "This is fine.
It's quirky.
It's something I love about her."
And then it started to annoy me.
- That's about everything in life, isn't it?
(audience laughs) - All right, so what do we think?
Is he telling the truth?
- I think he's telling the truth.
- [RAJ] I think so, too.
- I can just imagine him having quite an independent wife.
- [ROB] She'd have to be, wouldn't she?
- Yeah.
(audience laughs) - Yeah, I think it sounds true.
My first instinct was true.
So, yeah, stick with it.
- Well, I think that if Josh had been given that card just now, he wouldn't have invented the idea of snipping the bottom corner off the toothpaste tube.
That's what makes me think he's telling the truth.
- [LEE] What would he have invented?
- What you're saying, David, is that I don't have the mental capacity to come up with that idea.
- The truth is, Josh, I'm not saying it's impossible, with a following wind, on a good day, maybe.
(audience laughs) What I'm saying is, I think it's more likely that it's just something that your wife actually does.
- All right, we're saying it's true.
Josh Widdicombe, truth or lie?
- It's a lie.
- Oh!
(audience applauds) Bravo!
Very good.
(alarm chimes) - That noise signals time is up, it's the end of the show.
And I can reveal that David's team have won by four points to two.
- Well done.
Well done.
(audience applauds) - Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.
Goodnight.
(upbeat music) (audience applauds) - Are we doing it again?
Yeah?
Yeah, okay.
- On the count of three, we're gonna have the magic words.
One, two, three.
- [AUDIENCE] "Would I Lie To You?"
(audience cheers and applauds)
