1 This programme contains strong language and adult humour CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Tonight on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Jon Richardson, Sean Lock, Rose Matafeo, Harry Hill, Alex Horne and The Horne Section, Susie Dent, Rachel Riley and your host, Jimmy Carr! Hello, and welcome to 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, a show about letters, numbers and conundrums.
OK, let's meet tonight's players - first up, it's team captain Sean Lock.
Many women find Sean Lock sexy and fantasise about getting him alone for some grandpa grumpy rumpy pumpy.
And joining Sean tonight, it's comedy legend, Harry Hill.
Oh, thank you very much.
Harry has a unique look, like a testicle off to play a game of golf.
Up against them this evening, team captain Jon Richardson.
Jon appeared on the TV show Comedians Watching Football With Friends, I assume alone.
I watched it with my best mate, actually - Claire Sweeney off of, er off of Brookside.
Do you still keep in touch? Er, I follow her on Twitter.
My best mate.
After you, and you - we're best mates, aren't we? Yeah.
Aww.
Just do a joke about me being small and let's move on.
Er, fun fact, er, Jon is short for a man, 5'2".
And Jon's team-mate, Rose Matafeo.
Rose has a paralysing fear of rodents with their furry little bodies and rat-like features.
So, we can only apologise for sitting her next to Jon.
Harry it's, er, it's your first time on the show.
Are you gonna be better with the letters or with the numbers, Harry? Oh, well, you know I have this, er, I have this problem with letters.
I see a letter and I associate it with a smell.
So, for instance the letter I don't know, A, I smell elderflower straight away.
And then D, I might get, er, just morning dew, straight away I'm getting morning dew.
- The letter F? - Wet wipes.
So, I'm worried about it.
I'm going to be like a basset hound in aa perfume factory.
Do you have any hidden talents? Oh, well, I know where this going.
Who told him? Was it you? No, I never said anything, I don't - never talk to him.
It's the It's the moon walking, right? Can you moon walk? Well, I learnt from the master.
Michael Jackson? Phillip Schofield.
You may not know this, but when Michael Jackson died, Phillip Scofield bought all his shoes.
Mainly flip flops - and because his feet are a different size to Michael Jackson's, he had to trim them all.
So, often I would go round for my lesson, he'd be trimming these, trimming these .
.
and he only gets the afternoons, because he works in the morning.
So, I do, yeah.
I do - so I do moon walk but I haven't I haven't come here to do, I'm not doing it Oh, Come on, we want to see.
- All right, OK.
- APPLAUSE AUDIENCE CHEERS APPLAUSE Harry Hill.
- Sean, have you, erm? - Oh, God, here we go.
Well, I was interested to know, Sean, if you'd tried any interesting diets? Erm, yes, I have, Jimmy, I've found a whole new food source, and, erm, it's very exciting.
And what I've got into eating recently, it's a real delicacy, is fatbergs.
You know down the sewers, you get a fatberg - and I know you're going, "Eurgh," cos everyone's told you - they're absolutely delicious.
They're like truffles.
And I go down the sewers and hunt out fatbergs.
Obviously I don't take a truffle pig, I take a rat on a lead.
Honestly, Jimmy, they are delicious, because you cut a slice, it's like a cake, and it's savoury one end .
.
sweet the other, with a bit of, hint of Dettol in the middle.
Mm! What I do is I get a trained sushi chef to cut around the condoms and wet wipes.
Just get the really the really tasty bits.
So, that's That's what I'm into.
OK, now, Rose, you're from New Zealand? - Yes.
- You now live in London.
What's the worst thing about living in England? The plugs are weird.
Why are our plugs weird? Well, they're different to where I'm from.
The My plugs, they look My one looks like kind of like The Scream, kind of like that.
Ooh, it's sad.
And then your ones kind of look like you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, she's got a point.
- Yeah, I can see it.
- Oh, the plug! - Like a plug socket, yeah.
- Yeah, I can see it.
Oh, I see - I thought you meant Yeah.
Jon, if you could bring one thing back from the past, what would it be? Er, what I would like to bring back is the airing cupboard.
You don't really get an airing cupboard in a house any more, do you? I don't know if it's cos boilers have got smaller, or People are renting them out in London.
But I used to go in there and have my lunch, I'd hide there and try to scare people, play a bit of hide and seek and then come out when no-one fucking looked for me.
It's like having a holiday home, when you're six, having an airing cupboard.
That was my gite.
Why would you have given an airing cupboard a second thought? You're in the prime of your life.
Exactly, I'm still banging, I don't miss that.
You don't miss what you've got on tap, mate, do you? It's It's because of On a serious note, it's because of improved lagging on the - .
.
on the immersions, er - Ah! - You don't get the warm air.
- You don't get the warm air any more.
What are we on, a Saga holiday now? How How is this a conversation? If you wanna get back, you know, a way of getting back, if you were ever spurned by a lover, one of the ways to get back, as you know, you start off with a kipper on the exhaust pipe.
You know that one? So that when she starts up the car, it stinks.
The next stage up would be to sew prawns into the hem of the curtains so then that starts to decay - all right? And the best one, if you can get a dolphin into the immersion heater.
It really stinks.
- Yeah, yeah.
- She won't forget you then.
Rose, have you got a mascot? I do have a mascot.
I wanted to bring something that would relax me and I'm quite a crafty person myself, so I have a stack of my favourite adult colouring in books, which is great - and I've got to say, an adult colouring in book, it's a fantastic gift to give to any loved ones when you want to kind of show that you're concerned, but want to keep it fun.
Because these are for, you know, your mental wellbeing.
But I really - I really enjoyed doing them, so, I've actually started filling them out, but I kind of freaked out my family, because I started doing them purely in black Sharpie pen, so That kind of freaked them out a bit.
That's a turtle, there, that's some ducks and stuff.
And then I just started writing stuff that I kind of went outside the lines a bit and started just writing stuff I wanted to get off my chest to my family, so I've got "help me" there.
This one, like "Dad's girlfriend is a cat.
" - So, that's my mascot.
- I like it, I like it a lot.
- Jon, have you got a mascot? - Yeah, sort of.
I get a lot of stick on this show for liking the maths, but I thought I'd find a way of making maths cool - and I know what people like, pop music.
So, I've written an equation, a mathematical equation, with music bands that we can solve Hello, Rachel.
- Hello.
- How are you? I've got this in my hand, for some reason.
- Yes, this is all mine.
- Great.
I don't like to share.
So, where would you start here, Rachel, if you were tidying up this equation? Sin A square Seasons, times by Ode To Joy plus U, all over Duran, equals Duran, multiplied by Tops, brackets, Joy To The World, all over b squared, all minus U plus one.
You'd times by Duran, wouldn't you? You would - that's what I was gonna say, yeah.
You'd tidy up, so you'd times by Duran, that's solving your problem on this side, and then, on this side, of course, you'd have Duran squared, or Duran Duran, as they're more popularly known.
Now, you look on this side, you've got sin now.
Now, I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes.
So, of course we can substitute, there, for .
.
Ace of Base, you haven't been studying, have you? Ace of Base.
Now, Ace of Base as we know, sang All That She Wants.
Duran Duran, they sang All She Want is.
So, if we divide both sides by the thing that she wants, that would, of course, cancel those out.
So, let's rid of that U.
We can add U to that side, and that will cancel that bit out, and of course here we'd have two U's, or U2 .
.
if you like, and U2, of course, sang that we can do this With or Without You.
So, if we take the Without You option, then that removes the U from that side, as well, and then we can get rid of those brackets.
Are we having fun yet kids? It's cool to learn.
Ooh, I didn't expect to get out of breath writing on a board.
So, we can put the B squared there, B squared A squared Seasons, Tops and Joy to the World.
Now, if we divide it by 4, we know there are 4 seasons, so that cancels that one out, and, of course, Four Tops, so that cancels that one out, as well, and then we're left with Joy to The World and Ode to Joy, so, of course, we need to remove the joys - or, if you like, carry out a Joy Division.
From the equation in here we're left with Ode 2, or minus 2, if you will.
So, we take the minus 2, add 2 to cancel it out, and you're left with 3 on this side.
Er, 3 is, of course, a magic number.
So, if you rub the 3 hard enough, there, it comes right off the board, and you can just hold it in your hand like that.
So, that's the three.
You can have that.
Thank you very much.
And you're left with B squared A squared, or BBAA, or, if you prefer, ABBA, who, of course, sang, "Money, money, money, it's a rich man's world," and that leads us back to you, Jimmy.
Er, so APPLAUSE Jon Richardson.
- Jon? - Yeah.
I'm just wondering, trying to sort a date out for your intervention.
Sean, have you got a mascot? Now, what I've done, Jimmy, I've created something I call Total Comedy.
I don't know if you're aware of the Dutch team of the 1970s, the famous Dutch football team of Johan Cruyff, they played Total Football.
Well, I created Total Comedy.
I hope you're ready for it.
It's just a severed head.
Now, what it is, it's basically my comedy characters.
I do a lot of great comedy characters.
I'll just go through them, you know, some of them, like this one here, Oh "Ah, put the cat out!" Oh-ho-ho, that's a good one.
That was Rene.
No fixed abode or gender.
That's Darcy Winballs, this is.
"Ooh, you've done this place up nice.
" Erm.
Do you know what? That is enough.
That's Artful Archie.
"Ooh, I'll have three of your warmest soups.
" This is Cheeky Lionel.
"No, you can't have any of mine.
" Then, "cheeky", the cheeky's ironic, because he's actually quite rude.
"Put that lid down.
"Never mind why - put it down.
" "Does anyone have a phone charger?" That's Steven from Belfast, I do a lot of corporate stuff with him.
A lot of corporate stuff.
and I always finish, er, with I think we all know who it is, # You are always on my mind You are always on my mind.
Cos my singing teacher said, "Sean, you have an amazing tool.
" APPLAUSE Sean Lock, Total Comedy.
Harry, have you got a mascot? Er, yeah, I brought my son from my first marriage with me.
Gary.
Gary, come on out.
"I don't want to come out Daddy, I'm too scared.
"Everyone's staring at me.
" It's Gary.
It's Gary, my son.
"Hello, everyone.
Where's Jimmy Carr, Daddy? "Where's Jimmy Carr?" He's a big fan of yours, Jimmy.
"Christ, it's like looking in a mirror.
" APPLAUSE So, erm "I'm very nervous Daddy.
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! "Can I do my song, Daddy?" Are you going to do your song? He wants to do his song.
"I want to do a tribute to the soul singers of the past.
"Mr Otis Redding, Daddy.
" OK, Gary, well, er Notice that we've got the, er, Horne Section over there.
Would you be able to cover this with Alex Horne? Yes, yes - what's the song? "It's Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay.
" All right, OK.
BAND STRIKES UP # Sitting in the morning sun # I'll be sitting when the evening comes # Watching the ships roll in # Then I'll watch them roll away again # I'm sitting on the dock of the bay # Watching the ti-hi-hide roll awa-ha-hay Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting ti-hime Off you go, Gary.
HE BLOWS WHISTLE TO TUNE APPLAUSE "Bye-bye, see you later.
" Off you go, Gary.
See you later, yeah, see you later, nice one, Gary.
That was lovely.
Well, don't thank me, thank Gary.
OK, over in Dictionary Corner, it's Alex Horne and The Horne Section.
THEY PLAY MUSICAL STING Alex what, what sort of music do you like listening to? Well, abbreviated songs, Jimmy.
When you stop them too early - you know when you arrive at your destination and the radio stops early, but sometimes it improves the songs.
That's the sort of song I like.
I need a couple of examples now, I'm not entirely clear.
OK, well abbreviated songs - I'll do a song by Jarvis Cocker for you.
- Joe Cocker.
- By Joe Cocker.
OK, here we go.
LAUGHTER BAND PLAYS: You Are So Beautiful You are s OK? That sort of thing.
I think it improves it.
Can I do one by Robert Palmer for you, Jimmy? - Would that be all right? - Sure.
OK, this is a song by Robert Palmer, the abbreviated version.
One, two, three.
BAND PLAYS: Addicted to Love # Whoa-ho-ho you like to think # That you're immune to the stuff oh, yeah.
# Closer to the truth you know, you can't get enough # you know you're gonna have to face it You're addic OK, so, it's, again, it's the same sort of - APPLAUSE - .
.
the same sort of thing, OK? And with Alex, of course, it's Susie Dent.
It's great that Susie Dent is here, because while she's here with us, she's not writing another one of her shitty books.
- Susie.
- Yes.
You've done a guide to swearing for All 4, tell us everything.
I was just writing down "bollocks", in fact.
Erm Shopping list for later, is it? Erm, I love "bollocks", because it's just They fit in your eye socket.
Erm, and the reason I love it particularly is because the BBC do this kind of list of top offensive words, they do a kind of countdown, and "bollocks" is number eight, and it is under "prick" and above "arsehole".
What's number six? Wanker.
I only asked.
Come on! Come on! And in charge of the numbers is Rachel Riley.
APPLAUSE We've got The Horne Section on, what's your favourite kind of music to dance to? Er, well, Pasha takes me to salsa, and it's good because he can spin me around, but I actually taught him a dance that I'm quite proud of that he just didn't know, because he's all already good with the ballroom, good with the Latin, but the good old-fashioned "big fish, little fish, cardboard box".
He didn't know that till I came along.
There's "dolphin in an immersion heater".
