Why do picture him in a yellow jumpsuit of all things? And why hoola hooping?

So, being a foreigner I'm now off to find out what the hell a scotch egg is. Raw egg in a glass of scotch? :-)

[@Kowasi]

One egg is hard-boiled, and the it's coated in mince, and then that's coated in breadcrumbs... sometimes the egg is scrambled to allow a mini-Scotch egg to be made. Maybe quail eggs could be used to do that too.

[@Shantari]

Fun fact: David Prowse didn't say the famous "No, I am your father" line on set, since they were keeping it a tight secret. They told Mark Hamill so he could react properly, but during filming I think they had Prowse say "No, Obi-Wan killed him". (Since the line is in response to Luke saying that Obi-Wan told him that Darth Vader killed his father.)

[@rhmbock]

It's been a while, but I've never seen Merton with this look. It actually suits him. I have the same look but it doesn't really suit me.

Seriously, the hignfy writers are screwed since Biden won. They need help writing Biden jokes or need to just avoid the topic. "He's old and gonna die" doesn't count as satire. It's just crass, unfunny, and ageist.

[@garrick3727]

I suppose they are not used to having to put effort into writing jokes about the US President, since Trump pretty much wrote the jokes for them. Trump made everyone in media really lazy, and I suspect they will still be going on about Trump for a couple of years even if Biden gets in office because they are so used to talking about him.

[@thrownot5740]

almost every time the royal family comes up there are jokes about how ancient and senile queen and immidate family are and that charles will die before his mother. some people get upset every time just like you will every time they will mention, rightfully, that biden is old as hell to be an effective head of state

[@louieberg2942]

Which is why Ian and, especially, Paul were making something of a fuss about it. They clearly thought it was lazy writing.

[@eastvandb]

Oh, yeah, it's lazy writing that got turned into a fascinating and slightly raw bit of performance. It was uncomfortable at times, but in a way I found utterly engaging. Couple it with the audience missing picture for a chunk of the episode and this one is pure Covid. I adored them all for it as performers riffing. Presumably none of that is in the standard length episode.

oh dear . miss scientist got the definition of exponent incorrect . D+. must try harder.

[@RobbyTheBelgian]

She was correct. They were talking about "exponential", not "exponent". For example, 2^x is an exponential function (2 to the power of x), whereas x^2 (x squared) is not an exponential function.

[@zyaicob]

Lol this is a ridiculous comment. Some armchair pedant correcting Dr. Hannah Fry on the definition of a mathematical term

[@bwfvc7770]

That, "Metaphor", is a Hypnotic device to by-pass the brains, "critical function", which is basically the Conscious mind whose role is, basically, to dismiss extraneous, intrusive, time wasting information that slows your mind down. By the use of Metaphor, your brain creates the images that the Metaphor paints and so changes your mental state to your subconscious mind and your conscious mind, critical function, ceases and the MESSAGE is absorbed by your unconscious mind. You have been Hypnotised and don't even know it, what's more, you will be very indignant at the mere suggestion of it. The significance of this is, that your "leaders", are blatantly using these mind controlling techniques on you. Get off the "Train".

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."
