Victoria Coren Mitchell on Would I Lie to You? | Would I Lie To You?

[@Spaztar]

The chemistry between them is absolutely adorable, and I love seeing them together here and playing off of each other so well, David and Lee are the best married couple on television

Victoria seemed geniunely insulted at the mere suggestion she needs help with a crossword puzzle. That alone proved she and David are perfect for each other.

[@sc-rq7zy]

They were already together (again) at this point, but not public yet. So ‘he should know better’ ;)

​@@Butterratbeeneither does this: delicious sandwiches

[@LPKelly380]

@@ButterratbeeYes it does. She was annoyed at David for not overruling when he should’ve known better. Lee and her even say to each other “he didn’t overrule”. When she said “You think I call Tim Henman….” she was talking to just David Lol.

She needs to be on more often. The dynamic and comedic rapport between her, David, and Lee is fantastic.

[@Ron-d2s]

Gee honey would you like to come on national TV and dissect every nuance of how I lie?

[@ChrisIlett]

Are you saying they should get rid of Rob Brydon?

[@thomasyates3078]

The beauty of British TV is it rarely does anything to death. Having her as a very occasional guest keeps it fresh and special. Compare that to US TV where they would see viewing figures go up when she's on, have her on all the time, then her appearances would quickly lose their magic.

[@MrDaiseymay]

THEY ALL SOCIALISE A LOT TOGETHER, SO IT SEEMS ,FROM QUOTES IN THE PAST.

@@thomasyates3078 Good point

[@Simbu.]

"Have you always had a soft spot for wounded animals?" David: "Yes"

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

Yes.

[@willisverynice]

I had a whole argument in the comments on another copy of this clip where I was being called a moron by multiple people for not seeing that David was referring to himself as a wounded animal that she had a soft spot for. While I still maintain it is unlikely that this was his intention, it is an interesting interpretation.

[@Sturridge_FPL]

@@willisverynice Of course he was

[@willisverynice]

@@Sturridge_FPLso you are in the camp of “he was referring to himself as wounded animal and there is no possibility that he didn’t mean that?”

[@CompoundingTime]

​@@willisveryniceI'm so glad there is someone else out there who believes that David was having an inner dialog with a god and just blurted out yes and the perfect time for the punchline of a joke. Of course that would be more likely but alas that isn't what happened as we both clearly know!

[@WiggyWamWam]

This video is good because not only does it include the “between 6 and 9” joke, but also includes the earlier joke so that you get the callback part too! One of my favorite small jokes on this

[@RehabIbrahim7]

Victoria telling the forecast arguement with David... and David going "I am just reading it out" 😂😂 Both are very cute ❤❤❤

[@lelandd.295]

I think her facial reaction after David read the statement gave everyone some element of "there might some truth to this". And she looked like she was doing an inventory of her reading of late and how many times she thought, "I don't remember the story going in this direction."

[@buffalosowljah]

​@@lelandd.295then there as this 18:03 look oh maa word at look hoping it wasnt true

[@mikeconnolly6845]

Clare Balding’s “yeah but also, David doesn’t like you” is possibly one of the best one-liners in the entire show.

[@IceMetalPunk]

As an American, the "lollipop man" story was way more entertaining before Lee asked about guiding children, and I realized they were talking about crossing guards 😂

[@todddepue681]

Same! When "what on earth is a lollipop man?" wasn't the first question, I realized that it must be a known thing A thing i was actually about to Google but then we got some context clues.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@todddepue681 I was assuming and imagining someone who sells lollipops, tbh 😂

[@todddepue681]

@IceMetalPunk I don't mind saying I was a bit disappointed to learn that it wasn't! 😀 That said, it's an adorable name for a crossing guard and I long for an opportunity to work it into a conversation.

[@DarkParagon]

@@todddepue681 Yeah I think it's because the 'Stop' sign (being circular in the UK) they carry looks like one of those flat lollipops you can get. I actually didn't know they were called 'Crossing Guard' elsewhere.

[@BlameThande]

The American name sounds like something really sinister to me, like you're about to be shot trying to get over the Berlin Wall!

[@Ron-d2s]

I've always wondered on a show like this and Whose Line what gives the performers more of a rush, getting their joke to land or setting up someone else for a big laugh. Lee's face when Victoria zings him "Maybe some day you'll know..." is like a proud father that sent their kid out into a cruel world and they just struck it rich.

[@thomasyates3078]

I think a lot of panel shoes are much more scripted than they appear.

[@drawingsticks5333]

@@thomasyates3078 Judging from panel shows' outtakes I think it's more about editing. It's one hour of show but like five hours of shooting

[@leaffinite2001]

I imagine for guests the first is more exciting, but for lee and david who are always on, both are good. Cuz if youre only on the show once or twice, theres a higher incentive to be memorable by having a great line.

[@jcortese3300]

17:12 -- I will always find it hilarious how her neck swivels around to check if David does indeed hate Lee.

[@fc63457]

Loved Clare Balding in this episode. She played off the amazing dynamic between Lee, David and Victoria and had funny little quips and teases at the perfect moments.

[@josemaria8177]

I hope that one day we get David and Victoria vs Lee and Mrs. Mack. The battle of the couples would be amazing

[@asimmo55]

Her sausage rolls go alright.

[@83gemm]

I feel like Mrs. Mack (sorry, I don’t know her name) would be on David’s team. Ok…. So, yeah… Victoria, David, Mrs. Mack on one team. James Acaster, Lee …. And Bob f--ing Mortimer on the other. The INSANITY!

[@The_Muffin_Man]

that's just cruel - Bob Mortimer is David's kryptonite lol@@83gemm

[@JohnBloggs-m8l]

Her name is Tara McKillop and they met at Brunel University before Lee was famous, there's no real information about who she is or what she does but it does say Lee likes to keep his family life private so its unlikely she'll ever be on. Victoria Mitchell was already a TV personality before she got with David so its different cos she was already in the public eye and obviously her profile raised even higher once she got with him. Tara is obviously not in the media so would probably be reluctant to be on as would Lee be reluctant to have her on.

[@unclerojelio6320]

As an American, it took me far longer to understand what a lollipop man is than it should have.

[@john-paulgies4313]

14:37 I've seen this clip before, but the full context of the earlier banter makes David's reply much more witty now.

[@noirjacques3274]

Great montage! David’s “Victoria doesn’t know this” is still one of my very favourite WILTY stories. 😂

[@CentreMetre]

12:58 that camera angle was perfect when David said that. The way he said it, like a shy boy, and the camera being far away making him look small. Perfect!

I’ve read David’s autobiography, and I know he briefly dated Victoria before she ended it and started dating someone else.

How awkward and sad for David.

[@chellnz]

They started dating again in 2010 and that episode aired at the end of 2011. I believe at the time they still weren't public with the relationship which is why there isn't any digs about why she asked a tennis player rather than calling up David.
