“I find that arousing” bloody love Mel haha, she’s brilliant.

[@tonycowin]

Mel's filter is as broken as a Britta on a council landfill.

[@wich1]

More women should ditch their filters, it’s damned arousing

[@777jimothy]

I find her arousing

[@n0f8r]

I'm sure David was quite Flummoxed!

[@ChrisWar666]

It'd be even more so if he were but a parking attendant....

[@Artaxo]

Imagine David Mitchell overruling a parking decision.

[@wheedler]

"Police state time!"

[@tommygunn1887]

I would love to see Mitchell questioning the accused in court.

[@HookBeak_66]

Perhaps he could well except the part as lawyer/barrister in a legal drama, comedian Alan Davies was very good in The Brief.

[@Isleofskye]

Except that accept isn't spelled except, not even in exceptions to the legal rule. We just to accept it , as it is.@@HookBeak_66

[@mikebarnard7957]

I wouldn't. He's an annoying pratt sometimes. Needs a good slapping. Lee threatened to punch him on the nose (half joking?) after one of his annoying rants.

[@F3Ibane]

The reason David overruled is because he's the one who took the cello into the concert hall.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

I love the outrage over the lack of a hat, and David's follow up outrage about the jeans.

[@zanducktv2398]

David’s hilarious nitpicking lol. I could listen to Alex for hours, love her recital of the funeral story on Chris & Rosie’s show 😂

[@SamDiMento]

That is hilarious. David Mitchell is a comedic gold.

[@petejones879]

I love David's angry logic... This show has got it right.. Lee's half intelligent humour against David's intellectual logic... It works brilliantly

[@GwynHopkins-j3z]

Given the amount of times and the severity by which David Matchell often does completely "lose it", I found this clip didn't really live up to the expectation set by the title 😞

Very true, Mel is great. I'm glad she ditched Sue, she was a real drain

[@SunnyGlade]

This was excellent performing from Alex, I was convinced it was a lie from her reaction when she initially red the card out

[@Leo-wz4nh]

I knew straight away that this was a true after her reaction while she red the card, it was a bad acting

Well there's not much performance if you're recounting something that really did happen.

David Mitchell 'Loses it'...what !!!

[@billmccomb4629]

Mitchell typically and wonderfully funny.

[@mikebarnard7957]

I find Mitchell a complete self indulgent arse who sometimes deserves a good slapping particularly the time he picked on poor Sarah Pascoe after she went to Puerto Rico instead of Spain but she wa very upset having broken up with her boyfriend at the time. Mitchell showed no sympathy and ranted on about her being a moron.

[@chanky1000]

I would volunteer to live in a police state if it is ruled by David Mitchell

[@charliecampbell5598]

‘Loses it’? I don’t know about that…

[@Isleofskye]

He go crazee..

[@stefanstrittmatter6459]

I see no "losing it", apart from the cello.

[@Plons0Nard]

What was the name of the parking attendant ? Marvin, of course ! What is he doing in the carpark ? Parking cars, dumb dumb 😂

[@happivaras]

Lucky parking attendant 😊

[@ntal5859]

What getting hit on by a thirsty old bat post menopause woman ... More like poor bastard.

I haven't had a crush on anyone since I was a teenager but I think I have one on Alex now.... ☺

[@honestchris7472]

I think that Alex Jones is brilliant.

[@c2fish1]

The incredibly poor delivery of the story probably triggered David’s spidey senses. Just a little too far.

[@gibbogle]

Was she chatting up, or being chatted up?

[@QIKUGAMES-QIKU]

Why don't you show full Episodes ?

[@ishaan863]

wouldn't be surprised if David began his descent into fascist ideology after this

She really needs to change her name. lol.

Why should she have to change her name? He's the one that sucks.

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Chris Tarantino really didn’t fit on this show. Mel however is perfect!

Tarantino should stick to being the host on Millionaire leaving Chris Tarrant to direct his many award-winning films.

Is that true, about Welsh girls and car parks?

Don't be silly. That's only for the Posh girls from Monmouth. For everyone else it's round the back of the late night kebab van when the pubs have kicked everyone out.

I’ll never understand people liking Alex. I find every single thing about her irritating

[@MalevEvans-dw3do]

I think the beautiful accent is a large part of it. Comes across as so uncontrived and down-to-earth. It's very attractive

[@zacharyhicks6237]

That's such a terribly told story.

[@tonycowin]

That's the point.

[@Rasscasse]

Yes, she had to tell it badly so that it did not sound too plausible.

[@drtoonie]

You see, this is a show called “Would I Lie To You?”. A large part of it is that a good player will tell untrue stories in a very believable manner, or (and this is the part relevant to your observation) to tell true stories in a very unbelievable manner.

[@DavidOfWhitehills]

I believe you

[@Rasscasse]

Or.. sometimes they do the double bluff! When they tell the story in a manner that suggests they don’t want to be believed , thinking the opposite team will then think it’s true, when in fact it is a lie. I think that’s what I mean lol

[@forcex9.8isMass]

Has Julian got a multi effects pedal so he doesn't need a Chello, or was the entire performance (including holograms) on a micro SD card - smaller than your fingernail and thinner
