Showdown. Discussing all tonights topic topics with me are. My Brilliant Panel tonight are kezia noble, andrew eborn, and Jonathan Colgan. But first, lets get your latest News Headlines from tony richardson. Sorry. Tony richardson. Sorry. Thank you. Right, our breaking story tonight, the ministry of defence has confirmed the death of an raf pilot after his spitfire crashed into a field in lincolnshire, describing it as a tragic accident. They said the incident took place near raf coningsby. Police and Emergency Services responded just before 120 this afternoon and the pilot, who has not yet been named, was declared dead at the scene. Its thought that the aircraft was taking part in a battle of Britain Memorial event. The mans family has been informed and an investigation is now underway. Rishi sunak has described the pilots death as awful news, whilst sir keir starmer said he was deeply saddened. Well, the was deeply saddened. Well, the Prime Minister is claiming voters and their families would be at risk under a labour government. Posting in a long government. Posting in a long thread on x, rishi sunak claimed that labour doesnt have a plan and said that would give our enemies the chance to, quote, take advantage of our weaknesses. The tories are trying to make security a key dividing line between themselves and sir Keir Starmers party. After pledging to raise defence spending to 2. 5 by 2030. Sir ed davey has claimed the lib dems are, quote , claimed the lib dems are, quote, way more in tune with young voters after sir keir starmer pledged to lower the voting age to 16. Sir ed pointed to his partys position on housing gaza and the eu as examples of their youth appeal. All the major youth appeal. All the major parties have been pitching their messages to voters on this the first weekend of the election campaign. Speaking to reporters earlier, the labour leader said young people deserve to have their say. 16 and 17 year olds voting. They can go out and work, they can serve in our armed forces. And of course if they are out and working, they pay tax and therefore they should have a say over how the money theyre paying over how the money theyre paying in is being used. So yes , paying in is being used. So yes, i want to see that vote for 16 and 17 year olds if you can work, if you can pay tax, if you can serve in your armed forces, then you ought to be able to vote. Finally, tonight, a 17 year old boy from lancashire remains in custody after being arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead on a beach in bournemouth last night. Dorset police said they were called to reports of two women stabbed on durley chine beach at around 1145.

Rishi sunak announced the election this week in his first day of campaigning was a disaster. His audience of warehouse workers in derbyshire was discovered to contain tory councillors filling up the numbers, and he was mocked after he asked everyone whether they were looking forward to all the football while he was in barry in south wales. Barrys a place not a person. Wales did not qualify for the euros, so it was the wrong question to ask. Lots of tory politicians are standing down and some tory mps are flipping to the labour party, such as natalie elphicke. Now i respect politicians that stick to their principles, especially when those principles are i want to have a job afterjuly the 4th. Now rishi sunak has warned that labour will make britain a magnet for every illegal migrant in europe if they win the next election. But i have got to ask britain already is a magnet for every illegal migrant in europe. I mean, under rishi sunak, ilLegal Immigration, small boats crossings have soared on this. The boats is a distraction from the mass Legal Immigration that weve got in this country. So theres much bigger numbers. But if i could have a choice and say you can have the illegal, you know, boat crossings, but stop the mass Legal Immigration, i would pick to stop the illegal migration because its now this yean migration because its now this year, 670,000. Thats a city. Thats a so youd have youd rather have the Illegal Migrants coming across. I wouldnt want either. Right. Yeah. But i find its a distraction. Distraction. But i mean, andrew, the way i see it, the way i see it, you know, Illegal Immigrants versus legal migrants, legal migrants are the sort of people who can, you know, fill in a form, stand in a queue. Thats quite british. Its a very british way. I think that should be the test that she sort of started this. Can you can you return a supermarket . Youre absolutely right. But its crazy because the figures its over a million. But we need migrants is the whole whole idea about sort of for cares and so on and so forth. So a certain amount of legal migration that we need. The boats are a distraction. The real focus needs to be on the abhorrent trade in people trafficking and the criminal gangs. And thats the right thing to look at. A very interesting timing. And i did predict july the 4th. I was one of the few that did. I also predicted the very obvious headlines, like things could only get wetter. You know, i, only get wetter. You know, i, you know, or they couldnt actually drown and out was another favourite one as well. But whats really interesting, because he lost his bet with piers morgan because he said piers bet him the grandson of a grand and said, youre not going to get one Single Person to rwanda before the election. And now thats going to happen. And i reckon the reason for the timing, what rishi has done is its the fear and its edward bernays, the father of pr. He said the best way of selling anything is through fear. And he said, look, weve got the rwanda scheme in place. Were going to get people off there already. As long as you vote me in, if you dont, keir starmer is not going to let anybody go to rwanda. But the tories have had 14 years. I mean, thats not going to be its not enough. Hes going to be like 14 years in another four, youve got another two months, then theyll get it. Theyll get it working. It should be, it should be interesting. But thats the way hes selling it. And its either hes selling it. And its either hes split between the two parties. Youre turning around and saying, stick with us, were on course. It was predictable because i said this was going to happen. As soon as you get good news on inflation. It went down from 11 when he made the promise originally, right the way down to 2. 3 on the day he announced it. There was no surprise it was going to be as good as it was going to get. Where things are Getting Better and a lot wetter. Lets work on that sort of principle. But why he couldnt afford an umbrella . Yeah well thats good. The taxpayer is saving money by not. Im super impressed. He knows loads of stuff i do. Im i dont really know anything im i dont really know anything i get. Im not i dont even get by on charisma. I just sort of get by what i quite like, turn up and take. No, i was like, i was literally three minutes on time. Anyway, what do i think about this . You didnt ask, but im going to tell you anyway. Yeah, i think that this is almost like an abusive relationship. Theyre like, this time were going to be better. Were going to do it. Just give us one more chance. And this is after however many over a decade or whatever, i think i could fix him. Yeah. If we can change, i can fix him. Hell change. Oh, rishi. Hes just. Hes just a giga chad. And we just need him to just finally just commit and do what he says. But its not going to happen. And also hes not really like it doesnt really resonate with the with the voters because hes insanely rich. He made apparently £100 million last quy apparently £100 million last guy. Not from us. There he is. There he is standing in the rain. Wow. He really is wet. I mean, even for even for a tory politician in 2024, hes wet. Alex, at the end of a sitcom. Alex, at the end of a sitcom. I cant put this down to stupidity. Theres Something Else behind this. No one is that stupid. Nobody this is not. No, hes an educated man. This is something. I feel like theres something. I feel like theres something going on here. Hes going for the sympathy vote. Who could have foreseen rain in britain . In britain . But. But you could expect a terrible. The optics are terrible. And he knew it was going to be terrible. But you can spend 100 grand and you can stop the rain for a certain period. Thats what they should look at. And as you can look out the window and control the weather, you can. Did you not know that some of my platform you can actually you can pay 100 grand to some wedding. Ill get in touch. Ill do that and 100 grand, and they can make sure you have a sunny day. What i loved about the day. What i loved about the rain. It was so obvious for all the memes that came about. And theres one i dont know. You say, come, come, come here, little boy. Ill get you home to the in the dry, which is wonderful. So its a big keir starmer and a tiny little rishi sunak, and its all that sort of stuff. It was so ridiculous that they could they could have waited a little bit, leo, or spend a bit of money and get them inside. Well, hes got money as well. I mean, hes made £100 million last year, so hes obviously very good with his own money. I just wish hed be a bit better with my money. This is like were all laughing about this, but this guy is he. He is destroying the tory party. It feels like theyre on Self Destruct mode. They want labour in. It really feels like that now. Yeah, well, also, i dont feel that were going to notice any difference if keir starmer gets in. In fact, i think labour and tory the same thing apart from its like labour are just like flying the rainbow flag, but its the exact same principles , its the same principles, its the same policies, its mass immigration, high tax. High tax. Its all the same. Its all the same. Its all the same. It was George Galloway, George Galloway made the brilliant statement there are two cheeks of the same, but ill use that word. Its type of like that. But thats what he said. There are two cheeks of the same button. Thats what he said. Nowadays, Political Parties are indistinguishable from each other, and thats the problem. They make each others policies. They make each others policies. They nick each others people from the party. They can cross the house easily. Theyre not all indistinguishable. I mean, reform are a lot like, you know, the tories used to be. Are the tories richard tice and the greens. You know, theyre doing their thing at the moment. Yeah. Theyre a nice sort of confluence of the islamism and, and also do with rainbow flags again, i mean , its weird the, again, i mean, its weird the, the greens seem to be a sort of a carapace, a shell that anybody can climb inside and take any ideas they want. So whether i mean, it used to just be about the environment and low emissions people, people can hate the west for different reasons. No, its, gender ideology, you know, so pushing transgender issues, the transgender issues, the transgender issues, the transgender issue and also, fundamentalist islam, which is weird things to cram inside the same party. Its bizarre. And i always say, if you want to draw a crowd, start a fight. Thats the sort of basic sort of principles. So youre going to watch all of these every saturday night. I tried from the click. Ive got royalties on it. Its coming. Yeah. But its really interesting that rishi didnt deviate. So either people are going to view him as a stoic. He was there in the rain. Hell be very british. Im going to carry on anyway. He could have made a gag about the weather, couldnt he . He could have done something just to acknowledge he was just there looking. He looked so sad. I think he was going for the sympathy vote. I think youre right. It can literally only get better from that point. Well, yeah, it can only get wetter. But there are there have been a lot of gaffes in in British Election history. I think weve got some of the gaffes. Oh good. Coming up now can we show any of the gaffes. Can we show any of the gaffes. This is one of them. This is one of them. Maybe not. Maybe not. Oh here we go, here we go. Oh oh. Straight left cross into the jaw. Is that straight left cross into the jaw. Is that rishi. Thats amazing. Thats thats after andrew told him. If you want to draw a crowd, stop. Bang, bang. Bang, bang. He they changed his name and they called him after instead of two jabs. It was two jabs, wasnt it . I remember the slur on john prescott. On john prescott. Used to. Oh, boris. Goodness, theres boris on. On a zipwire. I think he gets stuck on this. He does two flags. This is our leaders. I mean. This is our leaders. I mean. This is our leaders. I mean. Yeah, but boris is very clever. He deliberately did that to state he knew it would get column inches. Hes a master media manipulator. Hes the master of looking like hes not a master. And this is, ed milibands tombstone. Is, ed milibands tombstone. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. There we go. Oh, yeah. There we go. Oh, yeah. Do i look . Do i look a bit like him . Yes. Oh, god damn it. Hes got good hair. Hes. Hes got good hair. Hes. Hes got good hair. Hes. Hes slightly less confident than you. Dont close up on me. Dont close up on me. So, i mean, political campaigning is always gaffes. Thats why when i pretend i run for election, i didnt do any campaigning because then i couldnt make a gaffe. You didnt even do any flyers. You ran for election in scotland. Yeah. Yeah. How did you do . How many votes did you get, were not sure, but the numbers doesnt matter so much. Theyre still trying to say i didnt win, but it was the taking part. Youve got to take part. Its not about winning. I think all the politicians believe that now. Youre right. Its a good philosophy. Can i get my bride back, then . Oh, is that what you did . Did you bribe people . Oh, brilliant. You bribe people . Oh, brilliant. This is extremely defamatory. This is extremely defamatory. But i think, oh, what could happenif but i think, oh, what could happen if labour gets in . They could actually get the rwanda plan to work because all the civil servants, servants, all the woke blobs, all the lawyers, the woke blobs, all the lawyers, the charities , theyre all the charities, theyre all fighting against the tory party. They dont want to do anything that the tory party want to do. Yes. Whereas, the there are in the same bed as keir starmer. So if keir asks them to do it, hell probably be. But hes made it very clear hes not going to. And he said hes not going to. And he said hes going to abolish the rwanda thing. So thats sort of works on that sort of basis. Piers should get his one grand because he bet basically nobody was going to go there before the election. Pay up. Rishi sort that out. Hes going to go to the red cross, which is a good cause. The reality, however, is this theyve got to have an alternative plan and unless you can peddle that, what the trouble ive got at the moment is that the real winner in these elections is apathy. The turnout was pathetic in the thing. What, 32 for some places, 2 in local elections. Party to incentivise people. Theyre both the same now they are. Well, yeah. People say the well, yeah. People say the tories dont lose elections. They you know, they dont lose voters. Its just the voters dont turn out for them. So thats true. So theyre hoping for the reason july the 4th, apart from fireworks day, is obviously theyre hoping its a sunny day because people then come out with their picnics and Everything Else and they come and vote. Itd be very nice. Also, if its nice weather, people come out and vote. So if its not raining like i thought, conservatives generally like it when it rains because it means that, left leaning people vote less. Not even as a joke. Ive heard that. Is that true . Its true. Youre right. Yeah, but they can organise buses on on organised buses. Is glastonbury. Is glastonbury. Well, that happened before didnt it. And, and also i think, you know, left wing people, their clothes are a lot more absorbent. Still like him. Anyway, next on the saturday night showdown, theres a new 4,000 therapy that people just cant get enough of. Plus, ill show you what happened when this paramedic tried to get a patient onto a stretcher on mark dolan tonight, in my big opinion, a shock new Study Reveals that working from home increases the risk of obesity and depression. Its time for britain to go back to work. It its time for britain to go back to work. It might take a ten. A new poll shows that 82 of the public admire queen camilla. If she was running for election, shed win by a landslide. Plus, the hamiltons feisty journalist, Michael Crick and tv legend christopher biggins. Were live at nine. Welcome back to the saturday night showdown. Krista blessed is coming up. But first, take a look at this. Now, what do you look at this. Now, what do you think happens next, jonathan, so there was a there was a gay man on a horse. I couldnt see the whole thing. What was it . No, thats not a gay man on a horse. Thats a thats a soldier. Well, we dont know his sexuality, but its not part of a pride parade. Well, i went to the soldiers outside buckingham palace. I couldnt probably say. I went to tuuana couldnt probably say. I went to tijuana once, and there was a gay gentleman and a horse. It was more of a donkey. What are we talking about . Oh okay. Well, they said he was a little horse. Thats not what they meant, you know, its a sore throat, i thank you that hes here all week. Well, hes definitely here every saturday. Anyway, lets lets have a look and see what actually did happen. The horse. The horse attacked the woman. Its hilarious. Now, what did she say to it . Now, what did she say to it . Its time to go through. Its time to go through. Jonathans idea was better. Jonathans idea was better. Well, having a gay horse in tijuana, i mean, yeah, there was a donkey. It tijuana, i mean, yeah, there was a donkey. It was a tijuana, i mean, yeah, there was a donkey. It was a donkey. A donkey. It was a donkey. I mean, who can who can really tell . Arent donkeys just tiny horses . They are. They are they. Thats what happens. And they pull their ears to make them look cute. Whats the matter . Its a pony. Is like a certain size. So 14 two is anything above that is a horse. And thats hands. They all measured in hands. Pony is still the same pony. Pony is still the same pony. Pony . No, theyre related to dogs. And whats a zebra . And whats a zebra . And whats a zebra . A zebra is an accident. It was a saturday night between a stripy animal. Really . What is it . Really . What is it . No, no, its a freak of nature. Well, what happened is it had to disguise itself in the jungle. So thats what they do. So they have the stripes in the same ways. Why does it look like horse . It looks like a horse just because it wants to fit in. Its about inclusion and diversity and Everything Else. Hes just trying to be funny. What what what family is a horse like a wolf and a dog and a fox. Theyre canine. And the horse. Whats the latin word for horse . Someone knows. Did horses come from zebras . Did horses come from zebras . It says equus. Did horses come from zebras . It says equus. Yes, equus. It says equus. Yes, equus. It says equus. Yes, equus. They are the same family. They are the same family. But it is actually true about hiding in the jungle and that sort of stuff. And its same with tigers. Tigers disguise anything striped. Hes hiding in a grassland. Hes hiding in a grassland. Well, im going to. Im going to find out in the break. Im going to go and google. I dont trust any of you. Anyway, its now time to go through the winners and losers of the week. Now, you might remember a bakery getting in trouble for refusing to bake a gay cake. Im not actually sure what a gay cake is, but a bakery in sydney has been lambasted online for baking a hamas themed birthday cake for a hamas themed birthday cake for a little boy. Featuring the palestinian flag and picture of the spokesman of hamas, abu ubaida obaida. One savvy Facebook User suggested a batman themed cake would have been more appropriate. I mean, do we need to be worried about the indoctrination of the youth in australia . Or is this just a yummy cake . I mean, kezia, could hamas be a marvel superhero . Theyve got masks. They they have guns. Theyre not doing a lot of good, though , are they . Theyre good, though, are they . Theyre not really saving people. Well, to according University Students and the green party thats thats debateable. Oh, theyre angels for them. Yeah. Freedom fighters. Yeah, look, i think its bad. Taste look, i think its bad. Taste the cake. Obviously, its bad taste. And youve just tasted it. Just well, it depends. Is it, is it chocolate . Strawberry does it say just in a big picture. Hamas on the top. I think it was fig, a big knife right through it as i cut it. No, i shouldnt cupcakes. No, i shouldnt cupcakes. Look at that. Clearly a victorian. Victorian. I reckon it is a bit of a sponge but but also its a against the terrorism act to support hamas. They are proscribed terrorist organisation. Anybody know. Absolutely anybody supporting them on this sort of stuff. So its a its an offence under the terrorism act. Right. But in australia weve also seen people chanting gas the jews, which is, you know, its insane. The level of can i just say ive never met an australian that ive respected eve r. Even dame edna everage. Come on. Dame edna everage. Come on. More moving on. One of labours biggest donors has come to the introduction of a red meat tax to help save the planet. Dale vince, who previously bankrolled just off oil. I think he still is and is the owner of all vegan Football Club forest green rovers, wants to deter people from buying steaks. Mr vince told the sun red meat is the most destructive form of meat that we have available to us in terms of human health and my toiletry impact. Jeez, i bet hes fun at barbecues. Dale, of course, has a sports car, but its not important what he does. Its important what he does. Its important what he does. Its important what little guys like us. Do that. We give up our small luxuries so he can still have his jet set lifestyle. I mean, ive got to ask, what about, what about lamb, jonathan lamb , i think lamb is sort of lamb, i think lamb is sort of fine because theyre cute and they like to slaughter cute. Well, i got to tell you something about, about animal husbandry. Lamb lives basically a free and wild life. And the land cant be used for arable crops. So it lives on the crops. So it lives on the uplands of scotland. Lives a its not intensively reared in concrete bunkers. And the gamble as well, dont they . So i think the principle about lamb is the thing that people object to is like veal, isnt it . Because they get stuff. What i love, however, i go to japan a lot and kobe, kobe , they really look after their cows because they, they feed them on beer. They have a better life than me, massaged them all the thing and its really, really good for the meat so that when they die, they die with respect and lots of and they taste delicious. Its a fantastic matsus beef, which is kobe as well. Come on, well do that, so dales right in what sort of sense . Hes basically, look at this , but you should look at this, but you should embrace it. And what was interesting is you make i think hes made the big mistake that if youve got to turn around, there are other foods as well. Its not just about that. Chicken farms, for example. Theres more pollution on a chicken thing and all the methane and other bits and pieces going up than there is coming from cows. I see. But my issue with dale is that, you know, he comes across like hes some sort of leftie saving the planet, but hes a businessman. Hes an energy baron. Hes got a net worth of over £100 million, and its from this company, ecotricity. And then he donates to money the Labour Party Like he gave him, i think, £2. 4 million in subsidies, in donations. But then he gets money back in subsidies from the government for his energy, you know, his green energy companies. So hes allegedly just higher tax automatically. I hate yeah automatically i hate. So this del person ive never heard of him before. Hes saying that i have to pay more tax. Done. Yeah no no bad person. No no bad person. No no bad person. Hes very famous dale vince hes got to be good. No we love it. But it is interesting isnt it. But it is interesting isnt it. And hes hes hes stopped bankrolling. Just stop oil bankrolling. Just stop oil i think, hasnt he. Because because he doesnt agree with all their tactics and so on and so forth. But hes entitled to whatever he wants to do as a labour donor. He can give his money to them, but he cant do, however, his dictate what we eat. Yeah, it doesnt make sense. And we love our kobe beef, so we should have more. It should be subsidised. Its that good. Yeah. We should subsidise kobe meat for the masses. Anyway, the Phoenix Cinema in london has seen pro palestinian campaigners call for a boycott of the ceremony. Film festival i hope ceremony. Film festival i hope i pronounced that correctly, which is an israeli film and tv festival and a private showing of a film, documents the hamas terror attack at the nova Music Festival on october 7 was being shown there. The graffitiing of the venue saw a pro israeli counter protest after no to art washing was scrawled on the cinema. Now is this censorship . I mean ken loach and mike leigh, the film directors, resigned as patrons , as patrons of the patrons, as patrons of the cinema, what martyrs . I know cinema, what martyrs . I know i the other one, israel will probably stop now. Yeah, its i see people making these grandiloquent gestures and later on were going to talk about nish pulling out of a out of a festival. I mean, to me, it sort of encourages, encourages me to go to that cinema. Oh, absolutely. I mean, what is it . Whats the thing here . They wanted to stop the film being shown because it actually exposes what theyre supporting. Yeah. The most brutal, rapacious, disgusting , tribal. Yeah. Disgusting, tribal. Yeah. Murderous group. Yeah look at all those flags. Look at that. See, people have had enough. Yeah, well, this is josh howie was there. Every week theres a protest which people are allowed to have every week. But i didnt see the same protest for the 600,000 killed in syria, the 250,000in yemen, 500,000 killed in iraq by the uk and the usa, hundreds of thousands in two protests, two protests, not a protest every week. Yeah, okay. And now people week. Yeah, okay. And now people are coming out. People who are pro israel or people who are not even pro israel. Theyve just like, had enough now of london being shut down every saturday, the centre of london being shut down every saturday. Yeah. And andrea, are you are you happy to see i feel like communities are now standing up to intimidation. You can see the support for the israeli community. Yeah. Yeah. I think they should stand up to intimidation. However, i do believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant and you need to look at these things. And as jonathan made the brilliant point, its supporting that sort of stuff. You need to look at the context. We must never, even the context. We must never, ever, ever censor the arts. Ever, ever censor the arts. Youve got to be able to entitle people to have freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences. But if, if nish kumar wants to censor himself, but if, if nish kumar wants to censor himself , that is fine. To censor himself, that is fine. That is absolutely self censorship where you drop out of , out of a festival out of, out of a festival because, you know, you disagree with one of the sponsors. Well, i ten hag was a comedy festival, so thats why. Festival, so thats why. Right . Oh, they didnt read that in the small print. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Shots fired, shots fired. Shots fired, shots fired. I actually dont know anything about him. I just know hes a punchline in. Daria said hes a punchline in. Daria said he used to bully in backstage, so i dont know. Is that right . I dont know if its true, comedian we know, well, yeah, i think i think its great to see people coming out, although instantly, you know, leftists complained that, you know, the people coming out to, to counter protest against the, against the pro palestinian protest and against the anti israel protest were thugs and all the rest of it, maybe. So. Maybe so. Yeah. Doesnt matter. Thugs have a right to protest. Also this country was built on thuggery. Josh howie was there with his nunchucks. He was just going spinning them around. Tommy got wild. So. Yeah. Josh howie, filmed that that footage there, yeah. I think its great to see this, this city finally rediscovering its cojones and taking its taking its streets back. Anyway, next on the saturday night showdown, the bbc have admitted to making rubbish comedy. The bbc have admitted to making rubbish comedy. And well get an rubbish comedy. And well get an exclusive look inside tory party hq. Plus well show you what happened when this skier hit the slopes, dreamed about this his whole life welcome back to the saturday night showdown. He literature festival has cut ties with a sponsor due to links with israel. But first, i promised i would show you what happened when a skier took to the slopes. Dreamed about this his whole life. Oh, oh , that is not good. Life. Oh, oh, that is not good. That was an unlucky. Unlucky . I mean, i shouldnt be laughing. The guys probably , you know, the guys probably, you know, broken a toe, but hes fine. Hes fine. Are you all right . Do we . Are you all right . Do we . When we grew up, when youve been framed, we. Well, this section, i always say should be sponsored by personal injury lawyers. Because every single week you show people you think we get any sponsors on this show . Oh, you sweet summer child. There it is again. Oh, thats some bad timing. Actually, when i was, i was skiing in yugoslavia when i was 14. Yeah, as you did. It was called yugoslavia then, because thats how old i am. But it was the cheapest place in europe to ski. So my dad took us there and, somebody was coming over, but it was cheap because they didnt have the right Safety Standards and stuff. Somebody was coming. So they they did have some snow. But when we was coming off the chairlift and her toggling her jacket caught in the chair, you know, like the thing that the skier just hit. And so she got dragged all the way around the big wheel. Thats my fetish. And then she was dragged along. She was dangling off the ground. She was up about like 15ft. And then it broke and, and she tumbled to the ground. Never, never complained about health and safety. Got the video. No we dont. Got the video. No we dont. That was before that would have to be like super eight. Brilliant. I was in like 1989 or something. Jeremy beadle would have paid for that. For that. Yeah, he paid for a lot of things. 250 hey, weve got the here Literary Festival, which has dropped its main sponsor, Investment Management firm Baillie Gifford, after boycotts from speakers and performers over the firms links to israel and fossil fuel companies. The Singer Charlotte Church and the comedian nish kumar were among the latest to pull out over Baillie Gifford sponsorship of the festival.

Was it you on the horse . Yeah. Yeah. Well, ate the cake. Well, ate the cake. Ive been on horse for some time. I love the fact that theyre meeting with fossil free books. I didnt know there was such a thing. Yeah, just to work out what they should be doing. I think theyre going to be renaming the what . The wind turbine in the willows. And, gone with the wind power. I tale of two eco cities. I love the idea. Let me have a think. Let me have a think. Okay. Thank you. Were working hard all night. Hes put effort into this. Yeah ill come back to me. Come back to me . Yeah, but thats what they do. Theres an organisation called fossil free books , the called fossil free books, the ffp, which, greta expectations. Ffp, which, greta expectations. Oh, look at you, greta. Oh, look at you, greta. Expectations. Expectations. Oh, come on, i didnt have any time to prep. Oh, thats brilliant. Thats ltns. But we keep seeing, you know, companies, getting almost in trouble for sponsoring a festival. So, you know, they sponsor a festival and all of a sudden theyre in the paper, and youve got all these young people, these left wing people pointing at them and shouting, are they sponsor . They sponsor israeli companies. They work with fossil fuels. And it seems with fossil fuels. And it seems to just bring lots of hassle. Why dont these Companies Just sponsor a right wing event . Why dont they just sponsor me, sponsor my Youtube Channel . But also you find that artists will put it in their contracts about that. Theres a limit. Theres the blacklist of people who cant have whether they use tobacco and alcohol and so on and so forth. I do a lot of these sponsorship contracts, as you know, around the world, big, big artists do dont do i modesty and the reality. However, itd be interesting to see what if the artists themselves could have dictated to give Charlotte Church, the lovely lady, give her the opportunity to stop money coming in is not good in the economic difficult times that they got, the hey needs this money. That being said, have the money. That being said, they are saving the money. Theyre losing from sponsorships on Charlotte Churches rider. Apparently the apparently the food demands are so insane. Oh oh, thats just what ive heard. I dont like thats just what thats what they feed to me in my ear. Im just repeating why youre not wearing an earpiece earpiece, but because kwasi they keep advertising to socialists. You know, i should imagine the people that go to the hay festival probably are , not not festival probably are, not not the richest people. Why dont they advertise to rich people . Why dont they advertise to right wing people . Right wing people buy a new audi every yean left wing. Left wings trendy. Left wings trendy. Its. You know, thats it. Its. You know, thats it. Its trendy. Well, something thats not so trendy. The bbc has warned that sitcoms are dying out as executives say that its current comedies are not funny enough. Bosses say that the broadcaster has oversupplied new comedy dramas, which touch on worthy subjects but are lacking in jokes. The bbc has announced that the classic sitcom needs to be saved, as programmes in the style of only fools and horses are what the audience wants to see. Well, i mean, i could have told you that people still watch only fools and horses. It makes lots of money. It makes lots of money. Ive got a strong opinion about it. So the best thing that the bbc ever came out with is two red dwarf. Yeah, its a sitcom. And blackadder. Yes. Sitcoms, yes. But humour does evolve. If you look at like evolve. If you look at like humour from the 1960s, its terrible. Yeah, its not great, terrible. Yeah, its not great, its not great, but it does evolve. So if you look okay, so with exception to Richard Pryor okay, its like the only stand up comedian that i think is still funny to this day. If you look at his old material, if you look at his old material, if you look at his old material, if you look at old material from people around that time, its bad but funny at the time. Who colin. George. Colin. George. Yeah. He was he was funny, but not as funny. Oh, hes a big leg. Oh, hes a big leg. He was very smart. He was george carlin. The smart thing he said, is that in comedy, you need to know where the line is and go above it. Yeah. Thats what he always said. He was brilliant. It was not as funny, but we punch way above our weight on on the comedy thing. The great people like ray galton and alan simpson, who wrote steptoe and sons and hancocks half hour, look at that sort of stuff. Weve got john, john sullivan, who did only fools and horses. Yeah. Brilliant stuff. It was brilliant now, though, is it . Oh, no, but it is. Blackadder is. Ill tell you why. Not only fools and horses, only fools and horses on the stage now doing word for word, roughly apart from certain bits, word for word. And they are slaying audiences every night. Okay, what about keeping up appearances . That was terrible. Appearances . That was terrible. I say Love Thy Neighbour and terrible things like that. There was some real bad ones. There was some real bad ones. I say. Fawlty towers holds up fawlty towers, fawlty towers. I hate fawlty towers. I think i i i think emma m i think the two ronnies. You remember them, ronald chesney, not ronald. Oh, its not funny. Oh, its not funny. Red dwarf was better than red wolf was very good. But blackadder and ben elton and all that sort of stuff. And theres still theres still some. Theres still some good comedy being made, like fleabag. Fleabag is only a few years old. I heard of that. Its hilarious. No, its good. No, its good. Its honestly, i havent seen that as a man. Brilliant. Brilliant. It is brilliant. It is brilliant. It is brilliant. It was enjoyable. It wasnt funny. I watched season one. It wasnt funny exactly. It was. It wasnt funny exactly. It was. It was good drama. Yeah. Phoebe waller bridge as well. Shes brilliant. Shes brilliant. Shes brilliant. Brilliant. And we have the greatest Creative Minds. I mean, there on this table at the moment of the greatest Creative Minds in the world, thats what we should celebrate. Yeah, i mean, i think she made Indiana Jones. I think that was the best Indiana Jones film weve ever seen. It was true. I thought it wasnt as bad. It was amazing. People said, but do you think the bbc are going to be able to get you saw her lanqing all over the place trying to run off to india or few people. Oh god, they did. That was full of vitriol. Today the yeah, at least you didnt comment. You didnt call her a sack of potatoes this time. But the, she wishes the. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think do you think the bbc will be able to get back to making sitcoms . Because theyre really expensive to make . Its much easier to just get people to sit there making like, okay, just for example, shane gillis got a new sitcom out on netflix. Its doing super well. Its very simple. Its set in one location. Nice writing. Funny, just good humour. They could have easily do that. It looks completely inexpensive. Motherland was good. Motherland was good. Motherland was good. Motherland i didnt like. Motherland i didnt like. Motherland i didnt like. Motherland was hilarious. That was so funny. I thought it was going at it and said, i resonate with this. But it was very funny. I thought it was going to be a satire of, you know, the third reich, but it wasnt, the real problem is this is the financing of these programs are so expensive now. And the question is talking about financing of the bbc is its made by so many other people now with netflix and amazon and various other things. Should the bbc be spending its money on that . And thats the thing about the licence fee, the answer will probably be no. Were sadly and thats whats going to happen on that set of basis. Yeah. So i guess extras extras was good. Extras was brilliant. Extras was brilliant. The office was amazing. The office was amazing. It was a brilliant writer. It was a brilliant writer. Extras was way better than the office. Oh, im not sure i liked it. Well, the debate moved on to a different type of entertainment. A london theatre has suffered a backlash after si king, a chief executive from. Listen to this. The criminal class and or underclass in a job advert. The theatre, a charity , says in its theatre, a charity, says in its advert that it encourages applications from individuals without formal education or who identify as working class , identify as working class, benefit class, criminal class or underclass. Now they seem to be underclass. Now they seem to be lumping in, criminal class with working class, if its like comparable, as if, you know, working class people also do a bit of burglary on the weekend. Its a Charles Booth 19th century poverty map is what it is. If you work on that sort of basis. But its plays with the craigs is what you could have work on that because theyre trying to encourage a gain diversity because they reckon that people who understand the criminal class will be better at sort of relating to various other people. Who will they be better at running a theatre . Well, probably get some more money in. You could borrow it from other people. You work on the principle that they maybe you need. The theatre is supposed to reflect all aspects of life and actually some of the most creative people are criminals. Yeah, well , they are, criminals. Yeah, well, they are, but they might be doing a producers and just try and ruin the theatre for insurance. Yeah. Got to give people a second chance. Or maybe this is an elaborate police sting operation. They asked for criminals. Then the criminal criminals turn up and the police are like, well, here are you. Take this. So its camdens people. Theatre which received £250,000 of tax. Hamza yusuf funding from the arts council during covid. I mean, thats the criminal thing to me. All that taxpayers money that went out, money, thats not much. People say that. People say that. People say that. People always say that about, oh, the arts council, its not so much money. Its a lot of money. Its a quarter of £1 million. Its not just that theatre. So many, so much, so much public money was just splurged out. And ill tell you whats bad about it. Public funding in the arts, people think, oh, the government is giving me this money. Thats not generosity. That means the government then owns you. Theyre in that pocket. Youre in the pocket. You cant you cant criticise. Its like in scotland, the snp owned the stand. Comedy clubs. So then comedians cant really criticise the stand without possibly jeopardising their comedy. Yeah, you make a really good point. And what i also love is i thank you, i always do, but what i also love is in the small print, the small print of the article. They say candidates who self identify as disabled would automatically get an interview. So self identification. So you so self identification. So you dont necessarily have to be objectively disabled. You just say, well, im disabled. I say, well, im disabled. I automatically get an interview. Now thats got to be wrong. Now thats got to be wrong. Thats a loophole. That is a loophole, a loophole they want just people, able bodied people to come through who are not a criminal, who identify as a criminal. So theyve ticked the boxes, but theyve ticked the boxes, but they found the loophole. So theyll still get that funding, that funding stream from arts council or whatever, that just goes to disabled candidates. And all money going to rubbish as usual. I would actually technically be able to apply for this because i was in prison for 18 months, but i would never want to put myself forward as why. Why were you in prison . Why were you in prison . I was in a very. Was it to do with the horse . Yeah no, that was amazing. That wasnt so much of a prison as a as a sort of houday of a prison as a as a sort of holiday camp. But no, this was more. Yeah, i got in basically a big brawl. Hasnt he . Hasnt he . Just now its got really quiet. Yeah hes lying. I thought he was going to be an interesting anecdote. Hes lying next in the saturday night show down, theres a new 4,000 therapy that people just cant get enough of. Plus, ill show you what happened when this paramedic tried to get a patient onto a stretcher. Welcome back to the saturday night showdown. Theres a scary night showdown. Theres a scary admission from keir starmer coming up. And a new type of therapy that costs 4,000. But first, i promised i would show you what happened when this paramedic tried to help someone in need. Oh, my god, if you run the radio. The paramedic fell over and sat on the person. And over and sat on the person. And i mean, theyre obviously literally there it is again. That is. On my god, that , that is. On my god, that, dangerous and arousing somehow. Dangerous and arousing somehow. And also weve got some weve got an update on what zebra is. So zebra is in fact, so i claim my prize. It was to do with disguise , it was to do with disguise, as i say. And, jonathan, im not talking about the stripes. Im talking about the stripes. Im talking about the stripes. Im talking about what it actually is. So its basically googles told me 52 million years ago it came from a fox like animal, as i said, right. Which would thrive in the jungle environment, feeding on fruit and leaves. There you go. Well, what you might not know is that a zebra and a horse can have sex and produce offspring. And the offspring are called azores. Exactly. Exactly. But its sterile. Sterile. But its sterile. Sterile. And when they get married, they have a divorce or whatever. Theres something there somewhere. Ill work on it. Ill work. Jonathan, hes really. Jonathan, hes really. Jonathan, hes really. Hes really good. Anyway, thats. Lets lets now take a quick look inside the tory party hq. Hq. Whats this . Oh, glorious. Whats this . Oh, glorious. That was not the tory party hq. That was a little joke that was, in fact, this therapy. This is rage therapy. And its all the rage. See what i did there . Do you like that . Oh, very good. Oh, very good. In america right now, people. Well, lets be honest. Women are paying up well, lets be honest. Women are paying up to four grand for sessions where they can. Well, lets have another look. Wow lets have another look. Wow wow. Right now i feel. Wow. Right now i feel. What do you feel . Wow what do you feel . Wow well. What do you feel . Wow well. Jannik sinner wanted to try to take. Thats off to one of your comedy. Comedy. It goes on forever. It goes on forever. And you filmed that when you were on that retreat . Yeah. No, this this is interesting because theres nothing more frightening than an out of control, hysterical woman. Oh, tell me about it. And that looked like a clip of a horror film. Yeah like i was like, i felt like this is scary. What im looking at here, but no good for them. If you think women are bottling it up and then releasing it, do you think thats healthy because theyre people pleasers , women, you people pleasers, women, you know, they just they constantly women are like living through filters, you know, like they water down their personality. They water down their opinions. Not all women, but the majority of women, because they just want to come across as nice because thats what men want. Men. Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned. Thats what she said. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, but you know, its got to come out somewhere. So are you. Are you tempted to go in this room, retreat and spend four grand whacking some stick . Do that in a street in front of people. Okay. I reckon if you sold pinatas around there, youd make a killing. Oh, hey, that was a good, good one. Absolutely. Back to the horses. We lied. Its going to be good. Well, Emily Maitlis interviewed keir starmer on the newsagents recently. Lets see what he had to say. Ooh, just ask you quickly. You have to choose now between davos or westminster. Davos. Why . Davos. Why . Because westminster is too constrained. Constrained. So davos is the World Economic forum where all the bigwigs from around the world meet up far away from voters to discuss how theyre going to run the World Without any input from voters. Its overseen by klaus schwab, who speaks like a bond baddie and says things that sound like a bond baddie, eats bugs , or you will own nothing bugs, or you will own nothing and be happy. I mean, he didnt say that, but he was. It was a big a big quote from davos. So big a big quote from davos. So whos keir working for . He seems to love davos a bit too much. I thought they were talking about what is it. The doctor who isnt it. About what is it. The doctor who isnt it. Hes like the leader of the daleks wasnt he. No. But what a bizarre thing to do. Were going to get so many soundees were going to get so many soundbites which are going to be faux pas in the next thing. And what i love about my pet sausage, about al, Artificial Intelligence. And as you know, i dont want fake or fact as a regular basis where we find these things which could be manipulated. So going to be manipulated. So going to be manipulated images, theyre going to be manipulated voice recordings, manipulated images and videos. Some of them are not manipulated. So keir really manipulated. So keir really messed up on that one. What on earth . He was thinking to turn around and say, this isnt a gaff, this isnt him. You know, this is what he genuinely thinks. He genuinely thinks that davos is a better place. He finds it easier to place. He finds it easier to work there and, you know, get things done than at westminster. Are you surprised by this . Are you surprised by this . Well, i know westminster is a sort of shouting shop where, you know, its got this sort of schoolyard, both sides, you know, yelling each other. You can do one honestly, davos can do one. Thats the t shirt. I want that one. Yeah, yeah i dont like them all. You know meeting up you know far away anyway mel stride mp has blamed pornography and video games for a surge in worklessness among young men. This is your first gig in a while, isnt it, jonathan . It has. I am, deeply down a porn hole. Thats it. No, its not true. Not true, not true. At all. Not true. Ive got family watching this. What am i thinking, no. What do i think . I thinking, no. What do i think . I think pornography is a relationship and sex simulator. And i think video games are an achievement simulator. So youre getting your dopamine fix that you would be getting elsewhere from these sort of very consumable. Yeah places. And yeah, i think its a big trap for a lot of young men, because you can just feel good for two hours and play this or watch this. And thats a great point. And also its become i think the risk and reward of young men going out and meeting women has become much more difficult. If you go and chat up a woman in a bar, you can be accused of harassment or whatever. So, i mean, i know this is your sort of area of expertise as a dating coach. Do you do you see this in young men . Are they are they sort of giving up on the dating scene . We have so many men that come to us and theyve like had not even porn addictions, i wouldnt call it, but theyve sort of just relied on that. And, you know, playing video games and just not being very active, not being proactive. I think dating apps are another one of the big problems. It just gives this sense, it makes it worse. It just gives a sense of like, youre doing something, oh, i swiped, you know, i did something. I was proactive. Yeah, but then you go on a date with them, right . No, but a lot of them dont. They just go back and forth, messaging back and forth. The people i know who are doing really well right now are the people not on dating apps. So the people going out. Because what happens when you dont have a dating app or something, or pornography to fall back on, it motivates you to go and talk to people because youve got no safety net. Thats it. Yeah. So theres been a massive rise, hasnt there . Theres been a massive rise in i girlfriends. Yeah, its a multi billion dollar business. Its almost like emotional pornography. It totally is. So Artificial Intelligence what it does, it knows more about you than your mother or your. Because what it remembers information. Yeah. And it knows your sort of fantasies. It knows whats really going to turn you on and things and it repeat it. And you might remember about the, the person who climbed a channel his name was who climbed into the queens bedroom with a crossbow. He was inspired by his sadness and loneliness. All this a lot of men know a cheery note to end on. Anyway, up next is mark dolan tonight. What have you got for us this evening, mark .
