investigation is now underway. rishi sunak has described the pilot's 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 doesn't 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 starmer's 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 party's 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 they're paying over how the money they're 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. a 34 year old was pronounced dead at the scene while a 38 year old was taken to hospital with serious injuries ,

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 we've got in this country. so there's 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 it's now this yean migration because it's now this year, 670,000. that's a city. >> that's a so you'd have you'd rather have the illegal migrants coming across. >> i wouldn't want either.

right. yeah. but i find it's 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. that's quite british. >> it's a very british way. i think that should be the test that she sort of started this. can you can you return a supermarket? you're absolutely right. but it's crazy because the figures it's 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 that's 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 couldn't actually drown and out was another favourite one as well. but what's really interesting, because he lost his bet with piers morgan because he said piers bet him the grandson of a grand and said, you're not going

to get one single person to rwanda before the election. and now that's going to happen. and i reckon the reason for the timing, what rishi has done is it's the fear and it's edward bernays, the father of pr. he said the best way of selling anything is through fear. and he said, look, we've got the rwanda scheme in place. we're going to get people off there already. as long as you vote me in, if you don't, keir starmer is not going to let anybody go to rwanda. but the tories have had 14 years. >> i mean, that's not going to be it's not enough. he's going to be like 14 years in another four, you've got another two months, then they'll get it. they'll get it working. >> it should be, it should be interesting. but that's the way he's selling it. and it's either he's selling it. and it's either he's split between the two parties. you're turning around and saying, stick with us, we're 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. let's work on that sort of principle. but why he couldn't afford an umbrella? yeah well that's good.

>> the taxpayer is saving money by not. i'm super impressed. >> he knows loads of stuff i do. i'm i don't really know anything i'm i don't really know anything i get. >> i'm not i don't 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 didn't ask, but i'm going to tell you anyway. yeah, i think that this is almost like an abusive relationship. they're like, this time we're going to be better. we're 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. he'll change. oh, rishi. he's just. he's just a giga chad. and we just need him to just finally just commit and do what he says. but it's not going to happen. >> and also he's not really like it doesn't really resonate with the with the voters because he's 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, he's wet. >> alex, at the end of a sitcom. >> alex, at the end of a sitcom. >> i can't put this down to stupidity. there's something else behind this. no one is that stupid. nobody this is not. no, he's an educated man. this is

something. i feel like there's something. i feel like there's something going on here. >> he's 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. that's 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. i'll get in touch. i'll 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 there's one i don't know. you say, come, come, come here, little boy. i'll get you home to the in the dry, which is wonderful. so it's a big keir starmer and a tiny little rishi sunak, and it's 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, he's got money as well. i mean, he's made £100 million last year, so he's obviously very good with his own money. i just wish he'd be a bit better with my money. >> this is like we're all laughing about this, but this

guy is he. he is destroying the tory party. it feels like they're on self—destruct mode. they want labour in. it really feels like that now. >> yeah, well, also, i don't feel that we're going to notice any difference if keir starmer gets in. in fact, i think labour and tory the same thing apart from it's like labour are just like flying the rainbow flag, but it's the exact same principles , it's the same principles, it's the same policies, it's mass immigration, high tax . high tax. >> it's all the same. >> it's all the same. >> it's all the same. >> it was george galloway, george galloway made the brilliant statement there are two cheeks of the same, but i'll use that word. it's type of like that. but that's what he said. there are two cheeks of the same button. that's what he said. nowadays, political parties are indistinguishable from each other, and that's the problem. they make each other's policies. they make each other's policies. they nick each other's people from the party. they can cross the house easily. >> they're 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, they're doing their thing at the moment. yeah. >> they're a nice sort of confluence of the islamism and, and also do with rainbow flags

again, i mean , it's weird the, again, i mean, it's 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, it's, 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. >> it's bizarre. and i always say, if you want to draw a crowd, start a fight. that's the sort of basic sort of principles. so you're going to watch all of these every saturday night. i tried from the click. i've got royalties on it. it's coming. yeah. but it's really interesting that rishi didn't deviate. so either people are going to view him as a stoic. he was there in the rain. he'll be very british. i'm going to carry on anyway. he could have made a gag about the weather, couldn't 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 you're 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 we've 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. >> that's amazing. that's that's 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, wasn't it? i remember the slur on john prescott . on john prescott. >> used to. oh, boris. goodness, there's 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. he's a master media manipulator. >> he's the master of looking like he's not a master. and this is, ed miliband's tombstone . is, ed miliband's 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. >> he's got good hair. he's. >> he's got good hair. he's. >> he's got good hair. he's. >> he's slightly less confident than you. >> don't close up on me .

>> don't close up on me. >> so, i mean, political campaigning is always gaffes. that's why when i pretend i run for election, i didn't do any campaigning because then i couldn't make a gaffe. >> you didn't even do any flyers. >> you ran for election in scotland. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> how did you do? how many votes did you get, we're not sure, but the numbers doesn't matter so much. >> they're still trying to say i didn't win, but it was the taking part. >> you've got to take part. it's not about winning. i think all the politicians believe that now. you're right. it's 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 , they're all the charities, they're all fighting against the tory party. they don't 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, he'll probably be. >> but he's made it very clear

he's not going to. and he said he's not going to. and he said he's going to abolish the rwanda thing. so that's 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. he's going to go to the red cross, which is a good cause. the reality, however, is this they've got to have an alternative plan and unless you can peddle that, what the trouble i've 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. they're both the same now they are. >> well, yeah . people say the >> well, yeah. people say the tories don't lose elections. they you know, they don't lose voters. it's just the voters don't turn out for them. so that's true. >> so they're hoping for the reason july the 4th, apart from fireworks day, is obviously they're hoping it's a sunny day because people then come out with their picnics and everything else and they come and vote. it'd be very nice. >> also, if it's nice weather, people come out and vote. >> so if it's 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. i've heard that. is that true? it's true.

>> you're right. yeah, but they can organise buses on on organised buses. >> is glastonbury. >> is glastonbury. >> well, that happened before didn't 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, there's a new $4,000 therapy that people just can't get enough of. plus, i'll 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. >> it's time for britain to go back to work . it >> it's 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, she'd win by a landslide. plus, the hamiltons feisty journalist, michael crick and tv legend christopher biggins. we're 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 couldn't see the whole thing. what was it? >> no, that's not a gay man on a horse. that's a that's a soldier . well, we don't know his sexuality, but it's not part of a pride parade. >> well, i went to the soldiers outside buckingham palace. i couldn't probably say. i went to tuuana couldn't 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. that's not what they meant, you know, it's a sore throat, i thank you that he's here all week. >> well, he's definitely here every saturday. anyway, let's let's have a look and see what actually did happen. the horse. the horse attacked the woman. it's hilarious. >> now, what did she say to it?

>> now, what did she say to it? >> it's time to go through. >> it's time to go through. >> jonathan's idea was better. >> jonathan's 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? aren't donkeys just tiny horses? >> they are. they are they. that's what happens. and they pull their ears to make them look cute. what's the matter? it's a pony. is like a certain size. so 14 two is anything above that is a horse. and that's hands. they all measured in hands. >> pony is still the same pony. >> pony is still the same pony. >> pony? no, they're related to dogs. >> and what's a zebra? >> and what's a zebra? >> and what's 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, it's a freak of nature. well, what happened is it had to disguise itself in the jungle. so that's 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. it's about inclusion and diversity and everything else. >> he's just trying to be funny. what what what family is a horse like a wolf and a dog and a fox. >> they're canine. and the horse. what's 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 it's same with tigers. tigers disguise anything striped. >> he's hiding in a grassland. >> he's hiding in a grassland. >> well, i'm going to. i'm going to find out in the break. i'm going to go and google. i don't trust any of you. anyway, it's 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. i'm 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? they've got masks. they they have guns. >> they're not doing a lot of good, though , are they? they're good, though, are they? they're not really saving people. >> well, to according university students and the green party that's that's debateable. >> oh, they're angels for them. yeah. freedom fighters. yeah, look, i think it's bad . taste

look, i think it's bad. taste the cake. obviously, it's bad taste. and you've 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 shouldn't cupcakes. >> no, i shouldn't cupcakes. >> look at that. clearly a victorian . victorian. >> i reckon it is a bit of a sponge but but also it's 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 it's a it's an offence under the terrorism act. >> right. but in australia we've also seen people chanting gas the jews, which is, you know, it's insane. the level of can i just say i've never met an australian that i've respected eve r. >> even >> dame edna everage. come on. >> dame edna everage. come on. >> more moving on. one of labour's 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 he's fun at barbecues. dale, of course, has a sports car, but it's not important what he does. it's important what he does. it's important what he does. it's 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, i've 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 they're 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 can't be used for arable crops . so it lives on the crops. so it lives on the uplands of scotland. lives a it's not intensively reared in concrete bunkers. >> and the gamble as well, don't they? so i think the principle about lamb is the thing that people object to is like veal, isn't 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 it's really, really good for the meat so that when they die, they die with respect and lots of and they taste delicious. it's a fantastic matsu's beef, which is kobe as well. come on, we'll do that, so dale's right in what sort of sense? he's basically, look at this , but you should look at this, but you should embrace it. and what was interesting is you make i think he's made the big mistake that if you've got to turn around, there are other foods as well. it's not just about that. chicken farms, for example. there's 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 he's some sort of leftie saving the planet, but he's a businessman. he's an energy baron. he's got a net worth of over £100 million, and it's 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 he's allegedly just higher

tax automatically. >> i hate yeah automatically i hate. so this del person i've never heard of him before. he's saying that i have to pay more tax. done. yeah >> no no bad person . >> no no bad person. >> no no bad person. >> he's very famous dale vince he's got to be good. no we love it. but it is interesting isn't it. but it is interesting isn't it. and he's he's he's stopped bankrolling . just stop oil bankrolling. just stop oil i think, hasn't he. because because he doesn't agree with all their tactics and so on and so forth. but he's entitled to whatever he wants to do as a labour donor. he can give his money to them, but he can't do, however, his dictate what we eat. yeah, it doesn't make sense. and we love our kobe beef, so we should have more. it should be subsidised. it's 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, it's i see people making these grandiloquent gestures and later on we're 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? what's the thing here? they wanted to stop the film being shown because it actually exposes what they're 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 there's a protest which people are allowed to have every week. but i didn't 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. they've 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, it's 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. you've 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

that's 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 didn't 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. that's 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 don't. >> got the video. no we don't. >> 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, we've got the here literary festival, which has dropped its main sponsor, investment management firm baillie gifford, after boycotts from speakers and performers over the firm's 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. now i've just got

this what was charlotte church doing anywhere near a literary festival anyway ? festival anyway? >> voice of an angel. you know, it's become voice of hamas . it's become voice of hamas. >> yeah, that's quite that's quite a that's a five out of ten. yeah. that's great. that's great. that's going to be in next week's show. >> but i mean voice of an angel or body of a sack of potatoes. that was her. >> whoa. >> whoa. >> oh this guy. hey, that was the name of her album . the name of her album. >> that's not right. >> that's not right. >> she looks she says she's a lovely, lovely, lovely lady, a girl baby and all that sort of stuff. >> it's outrageous. >> it's outrageous. >> i'm a sassy gay guy. i can say what i want. >> is that right? was it you on the horse? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, ate the cake. >> well, ate the cake. >> i've been on horse for some time. >> i love the fact that they're meeting with fossil free books. i didn't know there was such a thing. yeah, just to work out what they should be doing. i think they're 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. we're working hard all night. >> he's put effort into this.

yeah >> i'll come back to me. come back to me? >> yeah, but that's what they do. >> there's 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 didn't have any time to prep. >> oh, that's brilliant. that's 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 they're in the paper, and you've 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 don't these companies just sponsor a right wing event? why don't they just sponsor me, sponsor my youtube channel? >> but also you find that artists will put it in their contracts about that. there's a limit. there's the blacklist of people who can't 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 don't do i modesty and the reality. however, it'd 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. they're losing from sponsorships on charlotte churches rider. apparently the apparently the food demands are so insane. >> oh oh, that's just what i've heard. >> i don't like that's just what that's what they feed to me in my ear. i'm just repeating why you're 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 don't they advertise to rich people? why don't they advertise to right wing people? right wing people buy a new audi every yean >> left wing. left wing's trendy. left wing's trendy. it's. you know, that's it . it's. you know, that's it. >> it's trendy. well, something that's 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. >> i've got a strong opinion about it. so the best thing that the bbc ever came out with is two red dwarf. yeah, it's 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, it's terrible . yeah, it's not great, terrible. yeah, it's not great, it's not great, but it does evolve. so if you look okay, so with exception to richard pryor okay, it's 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, it's bad but funny at the time. >> who colin. george. colin. george. >> yeah. he was he was funny, but not as funny. >> oh, he's a big leg. >> oh, he's 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. that's 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 hancock's half hour, look at that sort of stuff. we've 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 . i'll 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, it's not funny. >> oh, it's not funny. >> red dwarf was better than red wolf was very good. but blackadder and ben elton and all that sort of stuff. >> and there's still there's still some. there's still some good comedy being made, like fleabag. fleabag is only a few years old. i heard of that. it's hilarious. >> no, it's good.

>> no, it's good. >> it's honestly, i haven't seen that as a man. >> brilliant. >> brilliant. >> it is brilliant. >> it is brilliant. >> it is brilliant. >> it was enjoyable. it wasn't funny. >> i watched season one. it wasn't funny exactly. it was. it wasn't funny exactly. it was. it was good drama. >> yeah. phoebe waller—bridge as well. she's brilliant. >> she's brilliant. >> she's 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, that's what we should celebrate. >> yeah, i mean, i think she made indiana jones. >> i think that was the best indiana jones film we've ever seen. >> it was true. i thought it wasn't 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 didn't comment. you didn't 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 they're really expensive to make? it's much easier to just get people to sit there making like, okay, just for example, shane gillis got a new sitcom out on netflix. >> it's doing super well. it's very simple. it's 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 didn't like. >> motherland i didn't like. >> motherland i didn't 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 wasn't, 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 it's 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 that's the thing about the licence fee, the answer will probably be no. we're sadly and that's what's 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, i'm 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 it's like comparable, as if, you know, working class people also do a bit of burglary on the weekend. >> it's a charles booth 19th century poverty map is what it is. if you work on that sort of basis. but it's plays with the craig's is what you could have work on that because they're 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 it's camden's people. theatre which

received £250,000 of tax. >> hamza yusuf funding from the arts council during covid. >> i mean, that's the criminal thing to me. >> all that taxpayers money that went out, money, that's not much. >> people say that. >> people say that. >> people say that. >> people always say that about, oh, the arts council, it's not so much money. it's a lot of money. it's a quarter of £1 million. it's not just that theatre. so many, so much, so much public money was just splurged out. and i'll tell you what's bad about it. public funding in the arts, people think, oh, the government is giving me this money. that's not generosity. that means the government then owns you. >> they're in that pocket. you're in the pocket. >> you can't you can't criticise. it's like in scotland, the snp owned the stand. comedy clubs. so then comedians can't 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 don't necessarily have to be objectively disabled. you just say, well, i'm disabled . i say, well, i'm disabled. i automatically get an interview. now that's got to be wrong . now that's got to be wrong. that's 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 they've ticked the boxes, but they've ticked the boxes, but they found the loophole. >> so they'll 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 wasn't 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. >> hasn't he? >> hasn't he? >> just now it's got really quiet. yeah >> he's lying. i thought he was going to be an interesting anecdote. he's lying next in the saturday night show down, there's a new $4,000 therapy that people just can't get enough of. plus, i'll show you what happened when this paramedic tried to get a patient onto a stretcher.

>> welcome back to the saturday

night showdown . there's a scary night showdown. there's 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, they're 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 we've got some we've 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, i'm not talking about the stripes. i'm talking about the stripes. i'm talking about the stripes. i'm talking about what it actually is. >> so it's basically google's 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 it's sterile. sterile. >> but it's sterile. sterile. >> and when they get married, they have a divorce or whatever. there's something there somewhere. i'll work on it. i'll work. >> jonathan, he's really . >> jonathan, he's really. >> jonathan, he's really. >> he's really good. anyway, that's. let's let's now take a quick look inside the tory party hq . hq. >> what's this ? oh, glorious . >> what's 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 it's all the rage. see what i did there? do you like that? >> oh, very good. >> oh, very good. >> in america right now, people. well, let's be honest. women are paying up well, let's be honest. women are paying up to four grand for sessions where they can. well, let's have another look . wow let's 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. that's 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 there's 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 i'm looking at here, but no good for them. if you think women are bottling it up and then releasing it, do you think that's healthy because they're 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 that's what men want. men. hell hath no fury than a woman scorned. that's what she said. >> thank you.

>> thank you. >> yeah, but you know, it's 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, you'd make a killing. oh, hey, that was a good, good one. >> absolutely. back to the horses. we lied. it's going to be good. >> well, emily maitlis interviewed keir starmer on the newsagent's recently. let's 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 they're going to run the world without any input from voters. it's 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 didn't say that, but he was. it was a big a big quote from davos . so big a big quote from davos. so who's keir working for? he seems to love davos a bit too much.

>> i thought they were talking about what is it. the doctor who isn't it . about what is it. the doctor who isn't it. he's like the leader of the daleks wasn't he. no. but what a bizarre thing to do. we're going to get so many soundees we're 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 don't 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, they're 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 isn't a gaff, this isn't 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, it's got this sort of schoolyard, both sides, you know, yelling each other. >> you can do one honestly, davos can do one. >> that's the t shirt. i want that one. yeah, yeah i don't 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, isn't it, jonathan? >> it has. i am, deeply down a porn hole. that's it. no, it's not true. not true, not true. at all. not true. i've 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 you're getting your dopamine fix that you would be getting elsewhere from these sort of very consumable. yeah places. and yeah, i think it's 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 that's a great point. and also it's 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 they've like had not even porn addictions, i wouldn't

call it, but they've 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, you're 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 don't. 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 don't have a dating app or something, or pornography to fall back on, it motivates you to go and talk to people because you've got no safety net. that's it. yeah. >> so there's been a massive rise, hasn't there? there's been a massive rise in i girlfriends. yeah, it's a multi—billion dollar business. it's 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 what's 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 queen's 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? >> well, leo, are the people that work from home work shy grifters . grifters. >> also, it's been quite the journey for camilla from homewrecker to queen. we'll be discussing the jul in the royal crown. >> plus my top pundits and tomorrow's papers, a busy show. >> we're live at nine. >> we're live at nine. >> i'd love to work from home doing this show. i could just sit on my sofa in my underpants and do it anyway, thanks to my brilliant panel tonight, who are probably glad i'm wearing trousers, it's, questionable. andrew eborn and jonathan colgan ihope andrew eborn and jonathan colgan i hope we see you all again next week. and don't forget headliners as well. tonight at 11 pm, three comedians going through tomorrow's news. goodbye by. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather over the
