He doesn't even bother making this story believable. He's just daring them to accuse him of lying.

[@louisemitchell3418]

I thought it was a lie. He is really good.

[@byrne8509]

as befits a lannister

[@musawirmohd6353]

He does that in hopes that their defiance will give him the reason and opportunity to call his banner and put them to the lannister vanguard.

[@thememaster7]

That's what gave him away. A liar would try to make it believable.

I love this so much! "Who is it?" "It's a chimpanzee!" "What does it want?" "I think it wants Tea!" "Well ask it in!" I love Charles and his wife!!! So nonchalant!

[@TheReal7Bit]

Charles Dance apparently lived through a Real Life Monthy Python Sketch then haha

[@DarthAzabrush]

He once referred to Emilia Fox as "the most beautiful, the most talented, the most delightful young lady ever to repeatedly karate kick me in the head"

I'll never get tired of his voice. And it's not just his pitch and tone, but also the way he pronounces the words. It is called class.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris7461]

I just love the whole deadpan way Charles talks about the conversation with his wife, and at 1:22, just says “It’s a chimpanzee” as if he’s totally expecting it or is used to such weird things happening. It’s just hilarious. Has he been in a Wes Anderson movie? If not, he should be.

[@chickenman6308]

More surprising is it was true.

[@seano19]

'What does it want?' Perfect delivery as one would expect

[@loodlebop]

"What does it want" brilliant

[@GenericUsername-qp1ww]

[@2ndRatePetronius]

Charles Dance is one of those fortunate men who have an absolutely mesmerizing and legendary voice. Only Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones can compare.

[@Farhadk1989]

2:25 I can't believe David didn't say, "chimpanzees are not monkeys." I don't recall which show it was, but he's definitely yelled that before

[@Joker-yw9hl]

The one with Alex Jones' zoo bag story

[@EternalRoman]

The dead pan humor that Charles Dance delivers makes it so much funnier. Already saw him in a comedy dancing in drag, and it was both funny and disturbing all at once. We need him to play more comedic roles too, this guy will always be a legend no matter what he plays.

[@Carbon2861996]

"Chimpanzee, I'm running late. Send word to Charles. You must not fail. Go!"

[@Jotari]

I don't know what I'm more incredulous about, that this was a true story or that all three of them actually guessed that correctly.

[@lewisirwin5363]

The fact he called it a female chimp probably helped somewhat

[@TimeandMonotony]

My coworker told me to look this up after I told him to look up Charles Dance reading 50 Shades of Grey. I was not disappointed, Matt. I was not disappointed.

[@benwesker]

[@daddyleon]

I can't blame you, I was thinking too, how the fuck could that ever be true??

[@gw311]

love British humor and big fan of Charles Dance. Did anyone else feel belittled or intimidated at the look CD gave at 2:06. man was admitting his fears and CD looked at as if to say COWARD!

[@gateauxq4604]

The questions were rather funny British bits. Americans would tend to gawk more at that ridiculous story, just outright say 'false', and also wonder why the hell anyone was going anywhere just for tea. We're frickin weird ;b I want one of these game shows in the US! I'm not sure they'd go over well tho, but Who's Line has done very well so maybe...

[@S55inatr4]

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

quickest wit i have ever seen. not every one is a zinger but most are

[@maxdamagus]

Written in advance.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

Why is it that all celebrities have these REALLY freaking weird stories? The oddest thing that ever happened to me was probably when I was working in a charity shop, opened a box of stuff someone had donated, and inside was a collection of sex-toys. One of which was a blow-up sex sheep doll. Now, that's weird. But I would put that several levels of weirdness below having a chimp round for sunday tea and serving it cheese and tomato sandwiches.

[@KazzoKiller3890]

Because of the fame and the interesting people they know, probably from traveling.

[@Skyewars]

James Bennett You think someone having a pet chimp is weirder than someone donating sex toys to charity?

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

When you put it like that, no, not really. Especially since the blow up sheep sex doll was in a box that had been opened and sellotaped back up. And who wants a used sex doll?

[@Skyewars]

James Bennett I guess that's why he gave it to charity.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "pre-loved" items. Oh, and I meant that the guy who donated it had used it before donating it. Not that he's somehow gotten a used one.

[@xHaniffax]

I love Charles Dance so much. I wish he could narrate my life.

[@LetsbeHonestOfficial]

Don't know why I didn't think of this before, but Charles with his epic voice and looks could pick up the mantle and play an excellent Saruman

[@gamg1850]

[@DarthAzabrush]

The answer is true... because that's the sort of shit that happens to Charles Dance. This is the man who described Emilia Fox as "the most talented young lady ever to karate kick me in the head"

[@LYLeelers]

Perhaps they haven't quite been around long enough for their voices to qualify as legendary but certainly mesmerising: Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch

He does a good job acting like it could be total b.s., but maybe not...I imagine all the guests do that. Funny.

its the added benefit of getting actors to come on this show since faking things is apart of their trade.

[@nickc3053]

[@h.huffen-puff4105]

What's funny about this is that Charles is not acting. He's dead serious and seems unable to comprehend the humour. It's just a story to him and he's not sure if the audience is laughing at him.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris7461]

Yeah especially the deadpan way that he tells the story.

[@swapnilbatle]

There couldn't have been a better casting for Tywin. I mean, even when he wants to be amusing, he is intimidating.

[@panda4247]

How much did they cut from the story? At what point did David's team started thinking it's true??

[@xergiok2322]

Indeed, sometimes the editing is particularly obvious. David's team had a lie verdict written all over them, but then they were suddenly happy go with truth.
