Have I Got a Bit More News for You S56 E4. Steph McGovern, Richard Osman. 29 Oct 18

[@RaghnaidAnnaNicGaraidh]

I completely agree with Joan and Ian. The ship in the black sea was much more interesting than the squidge monster.

[@paleogreg7427]

A unique and mysterious creature of the deep vs some old dead blokes? No way.

Cheers for keeping this ad free

If advert, scroll to the end, press replay!

They tried to make me go to Riyadh and I said no no no is an absolute stroke of comedic genius. Richard has some good lines

[@the_Giovanni_Jian]

"I have had enough of judges being rude to me." Still laughing two days later.

[@kurtsoderberg]

Yea i can fully agree.

[@danielcarr5716]

If you have the subtitles on, when Paul talks about the panther, it say "BAD SCOTTISH ACCENT:" 🤣

[@nantrax143]

I really enjoyed this episode. The chemistry was incredible.

[@cam1495]

Cheers for posting bro, I am not feeling the best mentally has helped to laugh.

[@handiman5001]

I love how the panel ganged up on Steph with the ship story and Steph showing her frustration " giggle"

[@jeric_synergy8581]

"Ewww, love, I've heard better lines than that down at club Bongo." GAHHHD I hope that anecdote is true. Earth: we apologize for his epic creepiness.

[@Kate-lk6tw]

What did google accidentally delete this week? Paul: Was it tax records? Ian: they haven’t got any! Best moment. Deserved more.

[@mulrich]

"Don't you think it just looks like he has a really unusual erection?" Goddammit, Steph, I was eating! Damn near killed me!

[@zapfanzapfan]

Ocado... I thought she said "car door", subtitles are sometimes useful :-) That 2500 year old ship really was the most interesting part, I had to look that up. Hope they recover the cargo.

[@josephkarl2061]

Steph McGovern + Joan Bake well = one of finest episodes Ever.

[@bobburroughs6241]

Steph's a delight. Worth the wait for the tatt!

Thanks for posting

[@Bareego]

I've alreay watched this but here I go again. Love Steph McGovern

[@johnhughes2681]

One of the best episodes - all 5 on top form!

[@Supermunch2000]

Ian Hislop is great!

[@drjwww]

I really like Steph. She did well as a panelist when she was on the first time, but she was a much more naturally funny host than I expected she would be. Her Tr*mp and hooker stories were *very* funny and her little grace-note reactions of Lady Bakewell especially were quite good.

[@J_PhD]

This isn't going to help cure the crush I have on Steph McGovern

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Monsieur John Steph is brilliant!

[@J_PhD]

If you're not her dad and offering I'm going to be disappointed, man...

[@LednacekZ]

especially now that we know what she would do for 15 pounds.

[@christophermoore7972]

Joan Bakewell…..”what is it about short fat men??” Priceless!😂

[@patriciaitalia]

I'm confused. If woolly mammoths went extinct circa 8000 BC, and it is now circa 2000 AD, how does that add up to 130,000 years?

[@beenaplumber8379]

So many people posted this. They went extinct about 8000 BC, but that doesn't mean that every mammoth that ever existed died on the same day. Some died long before then. The specimen they were discussing, for example, died ~130,000 years ago. Had it also died in 8000 MC, it would have been 120,000 years old, quite an age for such a large mammal.

[@susannah1948]

Love her jumper

[@TheIamIrving]

Steph McGovern should have drank the beers and just ran off with the tenner!

[@thehellyousay]

She never said what she did. Just said she got in a cab to go home and the cabbie mistook her for a working girl too.

[@IByteNL]

Thanks.

[@68sweetnovember]

Excellent !!

[@scottgordon1781]

Funnily enough , the USA was expecting 920k new jobs , even the pundits got that wrong !

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

8:55 "Wooly Mammoths went extinct in 8000.BC, so they're about 130,000 years old". What? Isn't that only ten thousand years ago?

[@mirzaahmed6589]

They existed for a long time before they went extinct.

[@paleogreg7427]

Further proof that Steph McGovern is a Timelord

[@youcancallmeana]

Thanks for posting! Steph was great as presenter, I would like to point out however, in the mammoth bit, the arithmetic is a bit off.

[@FerretPirate]

I think you'll find that those are mastadons, not mammoths. Mastadons were native to woodsy areas, whereas mammoths were plains animals. Further, mastadons, while shorter than mammoths, were proportionately longer, and had entirely different dentition.

[@sfshinz]

I am still wondering: door knockers, hot or not?

[@mirzaahmed6589]

Not, I think.

[@exessex3522]

The Salisbury poison was smeared on the door handle. This makes sense as not many people use the door knocker to gain access to their home as they already know they're not in 'cause they're outside.

[@j0njn]

Not being from the UK, I'm now mildly curious about whether or not this is the first time Steph McGovern's neck tattoo has featured on camera. The back of the neck is usually not the most prominent part of a presenter...

[@exessex3522]

You have to specify the timing so people can see what you're talking about. Try 11:52.

[@BumMcFluff]

It only really looks like David Schwimmer because it's so blurry.

25APR21, I just wanted to hear Steph say, '' Bette's Pegged It'' only insert 'Phil' bless ooh no don't....if Paul and Richard started with 2 then they only earned 5 points to Joan and Ian's 6 points earned. Joan and Ian are the actual winners. I think I have election fever.

[@cruz1ale]

8:50 "Woolly mammoths became extinct around 8 000 BC, so they're about 130 000 years old". Yeah, makes total sense... ?

[@musmus-culus]

Yeah, and it wouldn’t make sense even if it was 80 000BC.

[@653j521]

crucci They have all sorts of facts going on here. Paul is right with the 400,000 years ago when woolly mammoths emerged as a species, the mammoth that was found dated from about 130,000 years ago, and most of them did go extinct 10,000 years ago except for isolated pockets. Was the sense of it lost in editing? Or did they just stop listening to each other? :)

[@nickkkyyy]

Not sure she's the smartest....

[@misshavisham3220]

@@nickkkyyy Oh, my. You are kidding, right? From her bio: "She had sixth form studies in early 1998. She won an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship in 1998, for her potential to be a future leader in the engineering industry. She studied maths, physics, design technology and business studies in the six form studies until 2000. She was awarded 'Young Engineer for Britain' at the age of 19, after saving Black & Decker £150,000 a year by improving production techniques used for the Leaf Hog product. Later, McGovern joined the University College London where she studied science communication and policy in the Department of Science and Technology Studies." Tell us about your education, Mr. Cox.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Miss Havisham: sixth form studies? Some UK-specific thing?

[@Ana_crusis]

8:52 130,000 years old?? if they became extinct 8000 BC they are roughly 10,000 years old, steph !!!

[@Ana_crusis]

@Pat Mgroin I'm talking general dates, as she was. Not about any specific mammoth

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

My admiration for Dame Joan (or is she Baroness B ?) knows no bounds.

[@michaelmccarthy9411]

Why is she talking about pitchers?

[@michaelmccarthy9411]

Just watched it again. She is actually thick!

[@granthurlburt4062]

The paintings were not of mammoths. Cave paintings made contemporaneous with mammoths showed humans about once except for two shaman in bison or elk head costumes. And certainly no one rode horses at the time of mammoths. These paintings may be from Africa since the stick-figure humans do show up in African rock paintings. Although I dont know of AFricans riding horses.

[@papagarth]

I don't know when they started riding horses, but some definitely do . . .

[@timbanks7344]

8000 bc from 2018 is only 10,000 years not 100000 yrs

[@beenaplumber8379]

8000 BC was the mammoth's extinction date. 130,000 years was the age of the specimen that was found. Not all mammoths died at the same time. Some of them died long before the species went completely extinct. 🙂

[@granthurlburt4062]

The "headless chicken monster" is a type of sea cucumber. not remotely related to jellyfish. They dont have lungs. What they do jettison are their internal organs including intestines. Nice work. Forbes and the BBC.

[@michaelmccarthy9411]

Why did Steph say the woolly mammoth went extinct in about 8,000 BC and then announce that was 130,000 years ago? Can't she add?

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?"

[@granthurlburt4062]

Rather disappointing having the moderator going on about "No one cares about it" (the ship). One of the things I most like about visiting England is actually how well-informed the average person is, and the great interest in archaeology and other aspects of the past. Has about the attitude of a 16 yr old or the marvelous persona of Philomena Cunk

[@SgtMclupus]

"wooly mammoth became extinct around 8000 BC (before Christ) so about 139.000 years old!" How damn bad is HER math?? And everybody elses? It's about 10.000 years, not 130.000, you muck!
