2:03 The look on Dara's face is one of genuine shock lol

[@keepperspective]

I love Ed. I love Dara and Ed together

[@SiliconBong]

The russian spies are still blurred out ?!!?

[@Luigiman-rc9fi]

This is my all time favourite episode of this show.

[@mark-ish]

Savage 🔥🔥🔥

[@shakesrear7850]

The Frankie Boyle & Russell Howard days were my favourite.

[@ewanbrown6024]

This and ‘Dara and Brian Cox’ moments are brilliant.

[@joanne4758]

How many times have I watched this - every time is as funnier as the first.

Last year I got talking to a Russian guy at youth hostel and he asked if I'd ever seen stonehenge. He said he'd been there on his way to Salisbury. It was all I could do to keep a straight face!

[@thienkimnguyen1260]

Er, could you please explain the joke about Russian and Stonehenge? I didn’t get it.

[@DarkLordoftheMeme]

@@thienkimnguyen1260 Salisbury is where the Russians poisoned one of their defectors with Novichock

[@DrewSavo]

If you look up Nish Kumar, there’s just a hyperlink to Romesh Ranganathan.

[@elephantsmemory3142]

@@DrewSavo=I already heard that

[@annmariebuscema6506]

Picked before Ed in Blind Date 😂😂

[@aemelnick]

The edit history on Nish's Wikipedia article has some very silly stuff. Several people did try putting in hyperlinks to Romesh. There are assorted insults, references to a TV talk show called "Nude with Nish," and repeated assertions that he goes by the nickname "Madam Lily."

[@aemelnick]

"Nish was also a debater with the Durham Union Society, killing three and wounding two."

[@bradhartliep879]

"Nish Kumar was member of the Irish Republican Army before pursuing a career in Comedy" ..

[@DoinItforNewCommTech]

I knew there was a reason I liked him!

[@SamarIqbal1-2-1]

Dara: “Didn’t get picked?”😂

[@judithwalker3600]

1972!?! Ye Gads, he's 12 yrs younger than I am! Boy, do I feel old! LOL

[@kek23k]

That Romesh jibe wounded him.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Love how Ed Gamble always makes fun of the others for.... making a joke.

[@arthurjarrett1604]

Kumar was born in Wandsworth, south London, in the mid-1980s and attended St Olave's Grammar School in Orpington before reading English with History at Durham University.[1][8][9] He is of Indian descent.

[@aemelnick]

There used to be a [citation needed] after "He is of Indian descent." He talked about it and about people vandalizing his page on another show.

Kerry is so damn funny. Hugh is king, Kerry is not far behind.

[@raystaar]

Why on earth have they blurred the photos of the Russian agents?

[@andrewbailey7999]

Something to do with broadcasting rights I think

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

It was the same with Obama and the harp.

[@kevinkenny8739]

I'm going to, have to Google Ed on Blind Date.

[@SonOfHighValour]

Is there a copyright reason that the images in the recent updates are blurred or...?

[@bradhartliep879]

don't know but probably - they may be afraid of being sued for using someone's image without permission - or they're afraid of being poisoned by Vladimir ..

[@Jack-pr8er]

They used the actual pictures on TV

[@retnavybrat]

My guess is that _Mock the Week_ has permission to use photos like that on TV, but not online.

[@LyricalDJ]

@@retnavybrat Which I imagine must be a somewhat recent development as I seem to recall I've seen this bit before without said blurriness. Maybe that's why they're re-uploading these?

[@retnavybrat]

@@fvefve12 There have been other videos on this channel that showed blurred pictures of people who weren't suspects in crimes. That's why I suspect the issue is copyright related. Here are a couple of examples from one video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5a3cqSpd7ODm6s (picture of David Cameron and Barack Obama) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5a3cqSpd7ODm6s (picture of Prince Charles and Barack Obama)

[@annmariebuscema6506]

Superb

[@ewauvwas]

what weird british law dictated that they had to be blurred?

[@rb_holte1917]

They weren’t blurred on the original showing.

[@beeble2003]

Just the boring one: they bought the image rights for TV broadcast but not for posting to the internet.

[@casbot71]

If only Olga Koch was on this episode… She'd have had some fun, and maybe gotten targetted for assassination?

[@imokin86]

Lots of people in Russia joked about the spire excuse. Especially as there are ample opportunities for saucy puns with the Russian word for spire. BTW, the names were indeed fake, but they sound more or less normal.

[@michaelmoore3804]

What's with the censorship of various parts of the show now??

[@beeble2003]

They paid for the rights to broadcast the photos on TV but not the rights to post them to KZbin.

[@millomweb]

4:28 Are those supposed represent teeth in Ed's mouth ?

[@rexcorvorum4262]

If anyone wants to see that Birds Eye ad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpmykH2qiKeYY7c

[@vampyricon7026]

I remember a comment saying that it's Nish's funniest joke ever, and it's still not original content.

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Hmmm. YT used to show their faces. Now they are blurred. Must have triggered someone?

[@geoffreylondon5339]

shit isnt it

[@dannis8552]

BLURRED so as not to offend murderers & terrorists? Lift your game! No point.🙄

[@beeble2003]

Blurred because they paid the copyright holder for the rights to broadcast the image on TV, but not to post it to the internet.

[@stu1987eng]

Last time I saw this old clip they were not censored lol shits getting real politically and the BBC is worried

[@beeble2003]

Nothing to do with politics. Simply that they bought the rights to broadcast the image on TV but not the rights to post it to the internet.
