00:00:21,385 --> 00:00:23,769
Hello, I'm Charlie Brooker
and you're watching Weekly Wipe -
3
00:00:23,856 --> 00:00:27,796
a programme all about things that
are happening. Things like this...
4
00:00:27,897 --> 00:00:30,952
HSBC has been accused of helping
customers avoid taxes,
5
00:00:30,953 --> 00:00:33,945
apparently encouraging them
to hide profits in Switzerland.
6
00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:36,081
I for one am disappointed in HSBC
7
00:00:36,082 --> 00:00:39,089
because they always seemed like
such a nice faceless conglomerate.
8
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:42,071
Greece might have to pull
out of the Eurozone.
9
00:00:42,072 --> 00:00:44,440
The HALLOUMING crisis seems
like a FETA COMPLIS.
10
00:00:44,501 --> 00:00:46,440
It's all a terrible PITTA.
11
00:00:46,441 --> 00:00:48,444
Going from KEBAB to worse.
12
00:00:48,445 --> 00:00:49,481
Greece puns.
13
00:00:49,481 --> 00:00:52,845
Intense, consensual domestic
violence movie Fifty Shades Of Grey
14
00:00:52,925 --> 00:00:53,948
is about to come out.
15
00:00:53,949 --> 00:00:55,992
I read the script.
It had "hit" written all over it -
16
00:00:55,993 --> 00:00:57,921
in the stage directions.
17
00:00:57,921 --> 00:01:00,940
The main character is an S&M fanatic
called Christian Grey.
18
00:01:00,941 --> 00:01:02,912
Already people are asking
19
00:01:02,913 --> 00:01:05,964
when will moderate Christians
condemn his campaign of violence?
20
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:07,992
There were jubilant
and uplifting scenes
21
00:01:07,993 --> 00:01:10,932
as Eddie Redmayne
triumphed at the BAFTAs.
22
00:01:10,933 --> 00:01:12,940
He appeared in
The Theory of Everything,
23
00:01:12,941 --> 00:01:14,996
playing a young Stephen Hawking
before he'd evolved wheels.
24
00:01:14,997 --> 00:01:16,997
But we start with ISIS.
25
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,956
Tonight at 10, outrage in Jordan
as one of its pilots
26
00:01:21,957 --> 00:01:24,916
is burned to death by IS extremists.
27
00:01:24,917 --> 00:01:27,908
It feels like ISIS is engaged
in a kind of sickening game
28
00:01:27,909 --> 00:01:29,928
of one-downsmanship with itself,
29
00:01:29,929 --> 00:01:32,976
daring itself to produce something
more barbaric than the last killing.
30
00:01:32,977 --> 00:01:35,920
It's hard to know how to even
wrap your head around this
31
00:01:35,921 --> 00:01:37,964
level of horror coupled
with its total accessibility.
32
00:01:37,965 --> 00:01:40,952
Not so long ago, we had to fall
asleep to experience nightmares,
33
00:01:40,953 --> 00:01:43,912
we now live in a world where,
at any moment, your phone could
34
00:01:43,913 --> 00:01:45,944
buzz in your pocket
and it might be someone tweeting
35
00:01:45,945 --> 00:01:48,912
a photo of their lunch, or
a video of someone dying in agony.
36
00:01:48,913 --> 00:01:50,988
Then there's the question of
whether to look or not to look.
37
00:01:50,989 --> 00:01:53,000
Spoiler - the sane answer
is "not to look".
38
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,952
Which isn't made easy for you.
39
00:01:54,953 --> 00:01:56,996
The numb and frightened faces
of the victims appear
40
00:01:56,997 --> 00:01:59,980
on the front page of
newspapers and in search results.
41
00:01:59,981 --> 00:02:01,908
It becomes unavoidable.
42
00:02:01,909 --> 00:02:02,964
Not that everyone tries to avoid it.
43
00:02:02,965 --> 00:02:05,952
In the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan
claimed he was "glad"
44
00:02:05,953 --> 00:02:06,988
he watched the video depicting
45
00:02:06,989 --> 00:02:08,932
a caged man being burned to death
46
00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:10,992
because it helped him understand
how evil ISIS can be,
47
00:02:10,993 --> 00:02:13,952
which betrays an ASTOUNDING
lack of imagination.
48
00:02:13,953 --> 00:02:17,000
Fox News meanwhile broadcast
an exhaustive spoken word
49
00:02:17,001 --> 00:02:20,936
moment-by-moment description of the
video from host Shepherd Smith,
50
00:02:20,937 --> 00:02:22,908
who watched it
so you wouldn't have to.
51
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:23,949
Which you didn't have to anyway.
52
00:02:23,949 --> 00:02:26,928
We're not going to show you
the video, obviously.
53
00:02:26,929 --> 00:02:28,992
It's 23 minutes plus, that video.
54
00:02:28,993 --> 00:02:31,912
And you've got to cut
to commercials in ten minutes!
55
00:02:31,913 --> 00:02:34,980
I'm going to tell you about it,
all of it, every bit of it.
56
00:02:34,981 --> 00:02:38,908
Fox also garnered much criticism
for embedding the entire video,
57
00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:39,980
uncensored, on their website.
58
00:02:39,981 --> 00:02:42,948
It tells you something about
America's stomach for violence,
59
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:45,916
that while a terrorist snuff video
can be carried uncensored,
60
00:02:45,917 --> 00:02:48,960
an innocuous report about
a nudist beach on the same website
61
00:02:48,961 --> 00:02:51,924
comes with black boxes
superimposed over the buttocks.
62
00:02:51,925 --> 00:02:53,980
Because it's important to confront
the reality of murder,
63
00:02:53,981 --> 00:02:55,988
but, oh, my BLEEP,
we can't handle a bum.
64
00:02:55,989 --> 00:02:57,904
If ISIS ever started
65
00:02:57,905 --> 00:02:58,952
killing people in the nude,
66
00:02:58,953 --> 00:03:01,940
Fox is going to have a real
editorial dilemma on its hands.
67
00:03:01,941 --> 00:03:03,944
Of course, TV news is helplessly,
68
00:03:03,945 --> 00:03:06,984
institutionally addicted to relaying
eye-popping imagery wherever
69
00:03:06,985 --> 00:03:08,964
it comes from and whatever it shows,
70
00:03:08,965 --> 00:03:09,988
as this shocking footage
71
00:03:09,989 --> 00:03:12,924
of the recent Taiwan air disaster
makes clear.
72
00:03:12,925 --> 00:03:15,904
As a consequence, the
slickly-crafted video output of ISIS
73
00:03:15,905 --> 00:03:17,992
has effectively turned swathes
of the Western media into
74
00:03:17,993 --> 00:03:20,996
an unofficial jihadist propaganda
distribution network.
75
00:03:20,997 --> 00:03:23,956
It all conspires to make you feel
absolutely helpless.
76
00:03:23,957 --> 00:03:25,996
To feel less helpless,
you could get the inside track
77
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:28,976
by watching informative current
affairs shows like Newsnight.
78
00:03:28,977 --> 00:03:31,940
They didn't quite get
an interview from someone from ISIS,
79
00:03:31,941 --> 00:03:35,956
but they did speak to an expert
from an anagram of ISIS - IISS.
80
00:03:35,957 --> 00:03:39,908
I wouldn't be surprised if we are
looking at 10 to 15 years of
81
00:03:39,909 --> 00:03:44,960
instability and insecurity in Iraq,
in Syria, in parts of North Africa.
82
00:03:44,961 --> 00:03:48,964
Aye, aye - the guy from the IISS
says ISIS ices any other crisis,
83
00:03:48,965 --> 00:03:51,980
Whereas I says let's see what
CSIS says vis-a-vis ISIS
84
00:03:51,981 --> 00:03:53,948
so we can assess this.
85
00:03:53,949 --> 00:03:56,916
The US can probably bring in
the air power
86
00:03:56,917 --> 00:03:58,988
if the President decides
to take that risk.
87
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:02,944
See, CSIS says we've got to seize
this if we're going to cease this.
88
00:04:02,945 --> 00:04:05,993
That's his thesis -
that we're all in the faeces.
89
00:04:11,977 --> 00:04:13,996
Entertainment!
And movie buffs rejoice
90
00:04:13,997 --> 00:04:16,948
as Britain gets its first
4DX cinema,
91
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:19,936
which transforms the cinema-going
experience for ever.
92
00:04:19,937 --> 00:04:21,984
Instead of sitting through
a shit and awful modern film,
93
00:04:21,985 --> 00:04:24,952
you'll physically suffer through
a shit and awful modern film,
94
00:04:24,953 --> 00:04:26,936
while the cinema itself jolts you
95
00:04:26,937 --> 00:04:28,980
back and forth in a desperate bid
to keep you awake.
96
00:04:28,981 --> 00:04:32,904
You know, like films used to back
in the days when they had stories.
97
00:04:32,905 --> 00:04:34,996
As well as shaking the audience
around like gawping skittles
98
00:04:34,997 --> 00:04:37,972
on a Vietnamese bus,
the 4DX system puffs out smoke,
99
00:04:37,973 --> 00:04:40,976
sprays you with water, emits smells
from a backstage depository,
100
00:04:40,977 --> 00:04:42,956
and even releases bubbles...
101
00:04:42,957 --> 00:04:44,992
you know, for all those films
with bubbles in!
102
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,996
Like Indiana Jones...
103
00:04:46,997 --> 00:04:49,945
and the... Bubble Hand Man.
104
00:04:50,945 --> 00:04:52,956
Anyway, the initial test drives
proved exciting
105
00:04:52,957 --> 00:04:54,984
as all the news channels
were keen to point out.
106
00:04:54,985 --> 00:04:57,940
Groovy glasses.
Let's start the effects.
107
00:04:57,941 --> 00:04:59,956
Hang on. Am I going to get wet?
108
00:04:59,957 --> 00:05:02,924
I suppose it depends on what
kind of film you're watching.
109
00:05:02,925 --> 00:05:05,980
One film sadly unavailable
in 4DX is erotic beat-'em-up
110
00:05:05,981 --> 00:05:07,920
Fifty Shades of Grey.
111
00:05:07,921 --> 00:05:08,956
Cinemas across the land
112
00:05:08,957 --> 00:05:11,912
are preparing to fling their
hot-red doors wide open
113
00:05:11,913 --> 00:05:12,952
for this movie adaptation
114
00:05:12,953 --> 00:05:15,928
of one of the finest works
of clit-erature of our age.
115
00:05:15,929 --> 00:05:18,912
As the finely-crafted trailer
makes clear, it's a love story
116
00:05:18,913 --> 00:05:20,908
in which innocent
young Anastasia Steele
117
00:05:20,909 --> 00:05:23,916
shacks up with sadomasochist
dreamboat Christian Grey.
118
00:05:23,917 --> 00:05:25,908
He's a sort of Lego Colin Firth,
119
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:27,960
who initially seems like
any other besuited piss-hat -
120
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:29,964
but it transpires
he has "predilections",
121
00:05:29,965 --> 00:05:33,000
as becomes apparent when he pops up
in Ana Steele's DIY store,
122
00:05:33,001 --> 00:05:35,960
in what closely resembles
a Two Ronnies tribute.
123
00:05:35,961 --> 00:05:37,956
Do you stock cable ties?
124
00:05:37,957 --> 00:05:39,960
No, but we've got "fork 'andles".
125
00:05:39,961 --> 00:05:42,001
In fact, Grey has a secret
"red room" filled with
126
00:05:42,002 --> 00:05:45,001
objects you can either smack someone
with, or push up your arse.
127
00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:47,960
Which describes absolutely any room,
come to think of it.
128
00:05:47,961 --> 00:05:49,976
Most sex films cater to
male fantasies,
129
00:05:49,977 --> 00:05:52,980
so even if Fifty Shades is rubbish,
it's at least notable that it
130
00:05:52,981 --> 00:05:54,988
revolves around
female sex fantasies.
131
00:05:54,989 --> 00:05:56,972
It's more of a bean flick
than a chick flick.
132
00:05:56,973 --> 00:05:59,992
But if that's vaguely progressive,
the unofficial tie-ins aren't,
133
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:02,929
a glaring example being
this ad for washing liquid
134
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:03,997
Flirty Shades of Surf.
135
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:06,908
Hi, we're the Surf Household Heroes.
136
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:08,984
To celebrate the new flirty shades
of Surf fragrance...
137
00:06:08,985 --> 00:06:11,976
Don't know what Surf's got to do
with sadomasochistic sex.
138
00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:13,952
Maybe you can use it as a lubricant.
139
00:06:13,953 --> 00:06:15,928
Naturally,
the film's imminent release
140
00:06:15,929 --> 00:06:17,936
didn't go unnoticed
by housewives' favourite
141
00:06:17,937 --> 00:06:20,908
and brunchtime BuzzFeed simulator,
This Morning,
142
00:06:20,909 --> 00:06:22,904
which used it
as an excuse to do a cheerful item
143
00:06:22,905 --> 00:06:23,948
on specialist BLEEP equipment.
144
00:06:23,949 --> 00:06:26,944
Good morning. On the show today,
we open the bedroom door
145
00:06:26,945 --> 00:06:28,964
and unlock the secrets
between the sheets
146
00:06:28,965 --> 00:06:30,932
with the lowdown
on a range of toys
147
00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:32,948
that you might not normally
admit to owning.
148
00:06:32,949 --> 00:06:34,988
Well, I for one love
my Pippo Schofield collection
149
00:06:34,989 --> 00:06:36,932
and I don't care who knows it.
150
00:06:36,933 --> 00:06:39,940
Instead, a bunch of "adult fun"
products were examined in detail,
151
00:06:39,941 --> 00:06:43,984
and demonstrated live on air,
in a kind of QVC BDSM OMFG.
152
00:06:43,985 --> 00:06:46,000
This is USB rechargeable,
so it's brilliant
153
00:06:46,001 --> 00:06:49,912
because you don't need to worry
about replacing the batteries.
154
00:06:49,913 --> 00:06:51,992
Yeah, but on the downside,
you do have to worry about getting
155
00:06:51,993 --> 00:06:53,937
pubes in your USB socket.
156
00:06:54,965 --> 00:06:57,976
The pervy gizmos ran the full gamut
from vanilla old eye masks
157
00:06:57,977 --> 00:06:59,956
to For God's Sake, Pull This Thing
Out Of Me.
158
00:06:59,957 --> 00:07:01,912
There were also hot amateur reviews
159
00:07:01,913 --> 00:07:03,916
from actual Reader's Wives.
160
00:07:03,917 --> 00:07:05,928
I rate these 6 out of 10.
161
00:07:05,929 --> 00:07:08,993
If you like pain, you'll love these.
But they are painful.
162
00:07:08,993 --> 00:07:11,988
And there were handy hints,
like the importance of safe words.
163
00:07:11,989 --> 00:07:14,924
It's very important
that both partners
164
00:07:14,925 --> 00:07:17,996
are fully into it, and that you
settle on a safe word,
165
00:07:17,997 --> 00:07:20,948
so if it ever gets too much
or you decide you don't like it,
166
00:07:20,949 --> 00:07:22,984
say your safe word
and you both know that means stop.
167
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:25,992
It's funny, really, cos the word
"stop" doesn't count as a safe word.
168
00:07:25,993 --> 00:07:28,984
It has to be something you'd never
normally say during sex.
169
00:07:28,985 --> 00:07:30,912
Like "Schofield!"
170
00:07:30,913 --> 00:07:32,992
The undisputed high point, which
was sadly slightly off camera,
171
00:07:32,993 --> 00:07:35,944
came when Pip Schofield tested
a nipple clamp on himself.
172
00:07:35,945 --> 00:07:37,968
Aaghhhh!
173
00:07:37,969 --> 00:07:40,932
There's a proper grip on those.
174
00:07:40,933 --> 00:07:42,984
I had to pinch myself to make
sure I wasn't dreaming...
175
00:07:42,985 --> 00:07:45,984
which really turned me on. Oooooh.
176
00:07:45,985 --> 00:07:48,936
Solo BDSM. Ooh, I'm a naughty boy.
177
00:07:48,937 --> 00:07:50,976
Ooh! Ow! Ow!
178
00:07:50,977 --> 00:07:53,960
Oh, stop! Oh! Ow! Stop it! Ow!
179
00:07:53,961 --> 00:07:56,000
Ow! Schofield! Schofield!
180
00:07:56,001 --> 00:07:58,948
I'll tell you what's a worry -
the economy.
181
00:07:58,949 --> 00:08:00,980
I mean, the recovery
can't be going brilliantly
182
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:03,904
if the biggest business
story of the past week
183
00:08:03,905 --> 00:08:05,964
has been Poundland buying
99p Stores for 55 million.
184
00:08:05,965 --> 00:08:07,972
That's a heck of a mark up.
185
00:08:07,973 --> 00:08:10,972
And the 99p store's already got
a rival snapping at its heels.
186
00:08:10,973 --> 00:08:13,924
What would you say is the
main difference between you
187
00:08:13,925 --> 00:08:14,984
and the 99p stores?
188
00:08:14,985 --> 00:08:16,904
It's 1p less.
189
00:08:16,905 --> 00:08:18,948
Money is just not what it was.
190
00:08:18,949 --> 00:08:21,996
A few years ago,
everyone in the world was loaded
191
00:08:21,997 --> 00:08:24,976
and into this sort of bling stuff.
192
00:08:24,977 --> 00:08:28,909
But then the computers crashed
and all the money was deleted.
193
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:31,909
So now there's
nowhere near as much as there was.
194
00:08:31,946 --> 00:08:34,018
It mainly affected
money outside the banks
195
00:08:34,019 --> 00:08:36,990
because they'd
backed most of theirs up,
196
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:39,017
so they could still print it out
on banknotes.
197
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:42,037
But the rest of us
have to do austerity
198
00:08:42,038 --> 00:08:44,014
until our money comes back
199
00:08:44,014 --> 00:08:45,961
which is taking ages.
200
00:08:45,962 --> 00:08:49,974
Basically, with austerity, you spend
less on stuff you don't need
201
00:08:49,975 --> 00:08:52,977
like art installations or pavements.
202
00:08:52,978 --> 00:08:54,009
Not everyone is into it.
203
00:08:54,010 --> 00:08:57,621
Like, the disabled keep moaning about
their benefits being taken away.
204
00:08:57,622 --> 00:09:00,513
But they can still make money
by doing Paralympics
205
00:09:00,514 --> 00:09:02,520
or getting mugged
outside their own home.
206
00:09:02,521 --> 00:09:04,532
It's hard to care about austerity
207
00:09:04,533 --> 00:09:08,472
because it's not like a tornado or
an explosion, where you can see
208
00:09:08,473 --> 00:09:10,460
pictures of it
on the news and go,
209
00:09:10,461 --> 00:09:12,452
"Oh, dear, that's
their lives ruined,"
210
00:09:12,453 --> 00:09:14,508
and then rewind it
and watch it again.
211
00:09:14,509 --> 00:09:20,484
Austerity is sort of invisible, like
a gas, but a gas that kills money.
212
00:09:20,485 --> 00:09:23,540
There's not much to show on the news
except things that are closed,
213
00:09:23,541 --> 00:09:26,484
or sort of maths things
or food banks,
214
00:09:26,485 --> 00:09:28,500
which are like NatWest for peas.
215
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:30,484
Oxfam says the wealthiest 1%
216
00:09:30,485 --> 00:09:34,488
will soon own more than the rest of
the world's population...
217
00:09:34,489 --> 00:09:38,480
I suppose it's a bit gutting,
seeing the 1% people putting up
218
00:09:38,481 --> 00:09:41,516
the nice tall pointy buildings
while everyone else is sort of
219
00:09:41,517 --> 00:09:45,464
coughing to death in knackered
old hospitals on the ground.
220
00:09:45,465 --> 00:09:46,532
But with a lot of the 1%-ers,
221
00:09:46,533 --> 00:09:48,509
it's not their fault
they're in the 1%.
222
00:09:48,510 --> 00:09:50,524
They were just born there.
223
00:09:50,525 --> 00:09:53,508
They've literally done nothing
to put themselves in the 1%,
224
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:56,540
so picking on them
is literally the same as racism.
225
00:09:56,541 --> 00:09:58,509
Since the money crisis began,
226
00:09:58,509 --> 00:10:01,501
loads of European countries
have been skint.
227
00:10:01,502 --> 00:10:03,508
But Greece, right,
got totally skint.
228
00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:05,488
So, basically, Germany lent them
229
00:10:05,489 --> 00:10:10,464
loads of money, like Wonga
but in German, which is Vonga.
230
00:10:10,465 --> 00:10:12,540
The Greek economy had
to undergo IMF treatment
231
00:10:12,541 --> 00:10:14,528
and do tons of austerity -
232
00:10:14,529 --> 00:10:18,484
like, really austeritied
the fuck out of itself.
233
00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:21,464
After a while, they didn't
want to keep up the repayments
234
00:10:21,465 --> 00:10:24,480
so they invented a new government
who didn't believe in money.
235
00:10:24,481 --> 00:10:26,536
There's uncertainty in Europe
tonight after Greece
236
00:10:26,537 --> 00:10:29,480
voted in an anti-austerity
government.
237
00:10:29,481 --> 00:10:31,476
After the Greeks stopped
believing in money,
238
00:10:31,477 --> 00:10:33,444
the Spanish stopped believing in it.
239
00:10:33,445 --> 00:10:34,524
And now the Eurozone
people are worried
240
00:10:34,525 --> 00:10:37,476
everyone might stop believing
in it and it'll disappear,
241
00:10:37,477 --> 00:10:41,492
and we'll have to barter with, like,
sticks or, I don't know,
242
00:10:41,493 --> 00:10:45,500
handfuls of soil, instead of using
bank cards, which will be tragic
243
00:10:45,501 --> 00:10:49,484
cos they've only just invented
that contactless payment thing.
244
00:10:49,485 --> 00:10:51,532
They said austerity
left Greece devastated,
245
00:10:51,533 --> 00:10:53,488
but it's hard to tell
246
00:10:53,489 --> 00:10:56,520
because the footage was all people
sitting around and things
247
00:10:56,521 --> 00:11:01,448
looking a bit half-finished
and political graffiti on the walls.
248
00:11:01,449 --> 00:11:03,516
Which is what Greece
looked like anyway back in 2002
249
00:11:03,517 --> 00:11:05,529
when I went there with my mate Paul.
250
00:11:05,530 --> 00:11:09,460
He fell off a scooter and took
all the skin off his palms.
251
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:11,536
That's not relevant
but it stuck in my head
252
00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:14,532
and I don't think the sight of it
will ever leave me, to be honest.
253
00:11:14,533 --> 00:11:17,524
As Greece's freshly elected
government goes head-to-head
254
00:11:17,525 --> 00:11:19,452
with the Eurozone,
255
00:11:19,453 --> 00:11:21,516
all eyes are on Greek Finance
Minister Yanis Varoufakis,
256
00:11:21,517 --> 00:11:25,468
not because he's a pivotal figure
but because he looks cool as shit!
257
00:11:25,469 --> 00:11:28,513
Welcome to the eye of
the European storm.
258
00:11:32,501 --> 00:11:36,536
This is Greece, formerly associated
with carefree fun in the sun.
259
00:11:36,537 --> 00:11:40,448
But more recently,
the skies have darkened.
260
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:43,464
We are now being told that this place
is threatening to bring down with it
261
00:11:43,465 --> 00:11:45,464
the whole of the European continent.
262
00:11:45,465 --> 00:11:49,460
Yes, it's Yanis Varoufakis - the
coolest politician in the world.
263
00:11:49,461 --> 00:11:50,492
I mean, look at him.
264
00:11:50,493 --> 00:11:54,460
He doesn't even wear a tie, and he
looks like a murderer - that's cool.
265
00:11:54,461 --> 00:11:57,492
And he rides a motorbike. He's like
the Terminator, but for Greek debt.
266
00:11:57,493 --> 00:12:00,508
The Pay-You-Later! He's also got
his own Twitter account,
267
00:12:00,509 --> 00:12:03,452
a blog about
how money doesn't really exist,
268
00:12:03,453 --> 00:12:05,520
and he's got a devoted following
of groupies.
269
00:12:05,521 --> 00:12:08,512
He's the Liam off One Direction
of Greek finance ministers.
270
00:12:08,513 --> 00:12:10,520
But Europe seems scared of him.
271
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:13,448
Possibly because he looks
a bit like a Bond villain.
272
00:12:13,449 --> 00:12:15,528
He dresses like a Bond villain,
he grins like a Bond villain,
273
00:12:15,529 --> 00:12:17,500
and he sounds like a Bond villain.
274
00:12:17,501 --> 00:12:20,456
My message to our German friends,
275
00:12:20,457 --> 00:12:22,456
and indeed to all Europeans,
276
00:12:22,457 --> 00:12:25,464
is that no hand will be overplayed.
277
00:12:25,465 --> 00:12:27,532
And now, Mr Bond,
I expect you to yield.
278
00:12:27,533 --> 00:12:31,480
Varoufakis has been complaining
about austerity ever since the '90s,
279
00:12:31,481 --> 00:12:32,484
when he dressed like
280
00:12:32,485 --> 00:12:35,452
a backing dancer
from a Paula Abdul video.
281
00:12:35,453 --> 00:12:38,452
We have a much higher deficit
than we had in '89
282
00:12:38,453 --> 00:12:42,456
and a great deal of pain in terms
of a reduction in living standards.
283
00:12:42,457 --> 00:12:45,472
More recently, he's been muttering
dire warnings about Nazis,
284
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:48,460
actual Nazis, ie, Golden Dawn,
who came third
285
00:12:48,461 --> 00:12:52,460
in the Greek elections, and might
benefit should Syriza fall.
286
00:12:52,461 --> 00:12:55,476
His mention of Nazis added a bit of
spicy historical beef to
287
00:12:55,477 --> 00:12:57,497
the economic standoff
between Greece and Germany.
288
00:12:57,497 --> 00:13:00,533
To wear my historical hat
for a moment, back in World War II,
289
00:13:00,534 --> 00:13:02,464
Germany occupied Greece.
290
00:13:02,465 --> 00:13:04,472
Hundreds of thousands
of people died
291
00:13:04,473 --> 00:13:07,444
and the Nazis drew a forced loan
from the Bank of Greece.
292
00:13:07,445 --> 00:13:08,476
The new Greek government
293
00:13:08,477 --> 00:13:10,528
claims that debt has never been
fully paid back.
294
00:13:10,529 --> 00:13:14,460
Anyway, recently, Varoufakis has
been out and about looking cool,
295
00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:16,468
touring Europe to tell
financial bigwigs
296
00:13:16,469 --> 00:13:18,540
he wants a negotiation
over Greece's crippling debts.
297
00:13:18,541 --> 00:13:21,516
I'm not quite sure what his strategy
is, but it chiefly involves
298
00:13:21,517 --> 00:13:24,512
convincing everyone in Europe that
money doesn't actually exist.
299
00:13:24,513 --> 00:13:25,532
And he's so frugal that when
300
00:13:25,533 --> 00:13:28,476
he travels he carries his own
luggage, he flies economy,
301
00:13:28,477 --> 00:13:32,488
and he avoids roaming charges
by only using an imaginary phone.
302
00:13:32,489 --> 00:13:35,476
And I have to tell you,
I am a great BBC fan.
303
00:13:35,477 --> 00:13:39,452
I've never listened to
such an inaccurate report.
304
00:13:39,453 --> 00:13:41,492
Yes, Varoufakis is
the man of the moment.
305
00:13:41,493 --> 00:13:44,496
When he visited the UK,
even our anchors sounded impressed.
306
00:13:44,497 --> 00:13:48,448
The man who could yet bring down the
euro, the new Greek finance minister,
307
00:13:48,449 --> 00:13:49,520
rocked up in Downing Street today
308
00:13:49,521 --> 00:13:51,508
in biker boots and a leather jacket.
309
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:54,460
Sure enough,
as ITN skilfully depicted,
310
00:13:54,461 --> 00:13:55,476
he's so cool and austere,
311
00:13:55,477 --> 00:13:57,476
he'd walked all the way there
from Greece,
312
00:13:57,477 --> 00:13:59,536
dressed like a cool binman,
to fool the TV cameras.
313
00:13:59,537 --> 00:14:04,532
'In fact, this cameraman filmed
the rather more plausible besuited
official walking up Downing Street
314
00:14:04,533 --> 00:14:06,476
'to meet George Osborne.'
315
00:14:06,477 --> 00:14:09,480
As soon as he was indoors,
he looked comfortable and at home,
316
00:14:09,481 --> 00:14:12,456
much more so than George,
as he patiently explained to Osborne
317
00:14:12,457 --> 00:14:13,484
that money doesn't exist,
318
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:16,464
and that therefore being chancellor
is a waste of BLEEP time.
319
00:14:16,465 --> 00:14:19,460
News that didn't seem to go down
too well with Gideon here.
320
00:14:19,461 --> 00:14:21,512
Well, it's clear that
the stand-off between Greece
321
00:14:21,513 --> 00:14:23,484
and the Eurozone is fast becoming
322
00:14:23,485 --> 00:14:25,484
the biggest risk
to the global economy
323
00:14:25,485 --> 00:14:27,532
and it's a rising threat
to our economy at home.
324
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,496
It doesn't matter, mate. Money isn't
real anyway. I read it on a blog.
325
00:14:31,497 --> 00:14:33,512
In Greek. I can read Greek.
326
00:14:33,513 --> 00:14:36,532
Anyway, having thoroughly spooked
Gideon, Varoufakis slightly
327
00:14:36,533 --> 00:14:39,536
undermined his cool guy image when
he left without his leather coat.
328
00:14:39,537 --> 00:14:41,468
Although, come to think of it,
329
00:14:41,469 --> 00:14:43,524
he had probably sold it
to somebody indoors for 20 euros.
330
00:14:43,525 --> 00:14:46,472
Which will probably be enough
to buy Athens in a few weeks.
331
00:14:46,473 --> 00:14:50,500
Privacy is a hot topic right now
cos Samsung has warned
332
00:14:50,501 --> 00:14:53,484
owners of its smart TV to watch
what they say when they're sitting
333
00:14:53,485 --> 00:14:56,532
in front of it because, unlike your
family, it actually listens to you.
334
00:14:56,533 --> 00:14:58,536
Someone else who's concerned
about privacy,
335
00:14:58,537 --> 00:15:00,480
especially internet privacy,
336
00:15:00,481 --> 00:15:02,536
is typical YouTube vlogger Zeb,
337
00:15:02,537 --> 00:15:08,476
who's here to enliven us with
some of his "young online" views.
338
00:15:08,477 --> 00:15:10,509
Take it away, Zeb.
339
00:15:13,537 --> 00:15:17,460
Hi, gang.
Zeb here just saying hello. Hi!
340
00:15:17,461 --> 00:15:20,476
So, the other day I read this
thing about David Cameron's plans
341
00:15:20,477 --> 00:15:22,508
to let the Government snoop
on everything you do
342
00:15:22,509 --> 00:15:25,540
on the internet
which seems sort of nosy.
343
00:15:25,541 --> 00:15:28,532
Anyway, I started doing a ukulele
protest jam about it.
344
00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:31,500
Then I had some toast,
then I did more jamming
345
00:15:31,501 --> 00:15:34,448
and I had a little think
346
00:15:34,449 --> 00:15:35,524
and I thought, "I'll do this upload,
347
00:15:35,525 --> 00:15:38,529
"you're watching now,
about why privacy is so cool."
348
00:15:40,445 --> 00:15:43,500
Privacy is cool because
it lets you do private things.
349
00:15:43,501 --> 00:15:46,444
My parents used to
follow me on Twitter
350
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:48,528
and they were always eavesdropping
on what I said
351
00:15:48,529 --> 00:15:49,540
and being all parenty.
352
00:15:49,541 --> 00:15:51,520
That wasn't totally Mum's fault.
353
00:15:51,521 --> 00:15:55,476
She is kind of a downer and sometimes
does stuff like lying in bed
354
00:15:55,477 --> 00:15:58,464
all day with the door
and curtains shut.
355
00:15:58,465 --> 00:16:03,460
'Mum! What's for tea?
Hello? Oh, cheer up.'
356
00:16:03,461 --> 00:16:05,512
It is blatantly one of the top five
reasons why I moved out
357
00:16:05,513 --> 00:16:07,508
when I finally got my book advance.
358
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:10,500
Mum doesn't like to
talk about the crying in bed stuff
359
00:16:10,501 --> 00:16:12,504
and that's what's private for HER.
360
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:15,444
And I respect that,
but on the other hand,
361
00:16:15,445 --> 00:16:18,529
what I say on Twitter is private
between me and my followers.
362
00:16:18,529 --> 00:16:22,508
So, I blocked her
which was really hard for me
363
00:16:22,509 --> 00:16:24,528
so I did an upload about how I felt.
364
00:16:24,529 --> 00:16:27,029
'What's the point in having
a mum sometimes, know what I mean?
365
00:16:27,086 --> 00:16:29,089
'I don't mean that horribly...
I just...'
366
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:33,070
And that got loads of likes
so I followed it up with another one.
367
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:34,797
'I am just sick of it.
368
00:16:34,804 --> 00:16:37,812
'And when she is awake,
she is in my earhole all the time.'
369
00:16:37,812 --> 00:16:40,835
And then dad showed up
in the comments which was a total
370
00:16:40,836 --> 00:16:44,767
violation of privacy
so I reported him for spam
371
00:16:44,768 --> 00:16:47,800
because sometimes privacy's
a right you have to fight for.
372
00:16:47,902 --> 00:16:50,866
I did one of my epic rants
about that a few weeks ago.
373
00:16:50,867 --> 00:16:53,861
'He is as bad as mum.
"Mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm..."'
374
00:16:53,862 --> 00:16:56,877
Don't worry if you missed it
because I have shot a higher tech
375
00:16:56,878 --> 00:16:59,894
version of it for the new ITV2 show
I'm in next week.
376
00:17:00,114 --> 00:17:01,134
House of Tuber.
377
00:17:01,135 --> 00:17:05,117
'Shut up, the pair of you!
Would you just leave me alone?'
378
00:17:05,118 --> 00:17:08,126
It's sort of Made In Chelsea
for vloggers.
379
00:17:08,126 --> 00:17:11,150
I've already seen the rough cut
and it's sick.
380
00:17:11,151 --> 00:17:14,077
The production dudes asked me
not to upload it here
381
00:17:14,078 --> 00:17:16,157
because it's private to them
until it goes out.
382
00:17:16,158 --> 00:17:19,125
Of course I said yes, because privacy
rules.
383
00:17:19,126 --> 00:17:22,089
And that's why I say no
to the snoopers charter.
384
00:17:22,090 --> 00:17:23,129
Don't forget to subscribe
385
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:25,117
for my channel for 58 uploads a day,
386
00:17:25,118 --> 00:17:26,145
seven days a week.
387
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:28,133
Thanks for watching! Bye!
388
00:17:28,134 --> 00:17:30,153
While austerity swirls around us,
389
00:17:30,154 --> 00:17:33,117
TV is encouraging viewers
to tighten their belts
390
00:17:33,118 --> 00:17:35,105
with shows like Eat Well For Less,
391
00:17:35,106 --> 00:17:38,133
in which MasterChef's Gregg Wallace
and TV greengrocer Chris Babbin
392
00:17:38,134 --> 00:17:41,117
try to stop regular folk
overspending in the supermarket.
393
00:17:41,118 --> 00:17:43,113
Gregg Wallace is a good choice
for this show
394
00:17:43,114 --> 00:17:46,085
cos he reminds you of the cheapest
food there is, the potato.
395
00:17:46,086 --> 00:17:50,081
And his sidekick Chris is a cheeky
chappy - a sort of Dapper Sprouts.
396
00:17:50,082 --> 00:17:53,081
Would you be happy with it if it came
in a black box or a pink box?
397
00:17:53,082 --> 00:17:55,081
Or a polka dot box?
It doesn't matter to me
398
00:17:55,082 --> 00:17:56,121
what colour box it comes in.
399
00:17:56,122 --> 00:17:59,125
I can't help thinking the cockney
twosome is wasted in this format.
400
00:17:59,126 --> 00:18:02,129
They could be a new pair of Mitchell
brothers walking into the Queen Vic.
401
00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:05,089
Not slouching round Tesco
moaning about the sinister
402
00:18:05,090 --> 00:18:08,113
conspiracy of great big labels
telling you how much things cost.
403
00:18:08,114 --> 00:18:11,069
Why are they telling me
so boldly that that is £2?
404
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:12,109
Cos it must be good value.
405
00:18:12,110 --> 00:18:15,081
I have come in and
never meant to buy strawberries
406
00:18:15,082 --> 00:18:18,097
and now I'm buying them because it
has a big red sticker on it!
407
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:20,133
Yeah, BLEEP manipulative
supermarket bastards.
408
00:18:20,134 --> 00:18:23,121
Next they'll be giving you some
sort of cage on wheels to make it
409
00:18:23,122 --> 00:18:26,161
easy to carry those
strawberries around. Devious BLEEPs!
410
00:18:26,162 --> 00:18:28,138
Gregg and Chris are down
the supermarket
411
00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:29,680
to lurk in the background
412
00:18:29,683 --> 00:18:31,679
as this week's family
do their regular shop,
413
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:34,655
which generally consists of them
thoughtlessly lobbing produce
414
00:18:34,655 --> 00:18:37,675
into their trolleys without giving a
fig for the financial consequences.
415
00:18:37,676 --> 00:18:42,622
'Howard's impulsive habits have
the food bills racking up.'
416
00:18:42,623 --> 00:18:44,626
Like I've heard of that. Sumac.
417
00:18:44,627 --> 00:18:47,331
I've no idea what it is.
Or what you'd use it for.
418
00:18:47,397 --> 00:18:48,456
I'll go for it.
419
00:18:48,457 --> 00:18:51,453
This wanton, decadent spending
on the likes of frozen sausages
420
00:18:51,453 --> 00:18:54,385
outrages the Mitchell brothers,
as well it might.
421
00:18:54,386 --> 00:18:56,460
What's that? What's that?
Is that frozen sausages.
422
00:18:56,461 --> 00:19:00,448
We usually have three bags in
the freezer. Two are on stand by.
423
00:19:00,449 --> 00:19:03,404
How many bags in the freezer, Jenny?
Three!
424
00:19:03,405 --> 00:19:04,464
Ugh!
425
00:19:04,465 --> 00:19:07,440
How many sausages
are the family going through?
426
00:19:07,441 --> 00:19:09,456
Then they trail them
all the way home.
427
00:19:09,457 --> 00:19:12,452
And before the family can unpack
their thousand bags of sausages,
428
00:19:12,453 --> 00:19:15,420
Gregg and Chris perform
a full audit on their kitchen,
429
00:19:15,421 --> 00:19:18,448
apparently getting wound up at what
they discover is already there.
430
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:22,436
Gregg, this is full of stuff
they've just been and bought.
431
00:19:22,437 --> 00:19:24,384
You're kidding me?
432
00:19:24,385 --> 00:19:25,436
That is a full-up fridge.
433
00:19:25,437 --> 00:19:28,388
This is what it should look like
AFTER you've been shopping.
434
00:19:28,389 --> 00:19:30,376
Oh, those wasteful BLEEPs.
435
00:19:30,377 --> 00:19:31,456
They are worse than ISIS...
436
00:19:31,457 --> 00:19:34,392
or should I say Rice-IS?
437
00:19:34,393 --> 00:19:39,436
For crying out loud,
do we need this much rice?
438
00:19:39,437 --> 00:19:44,456
They'd be much better off buying a
great big two/three kilo bag of rice.
439
00:19:44,457 --> 00:19:46,464
You know,
I hope Gregg's only pretending to be
440
00:19:46,465 --> 00:19:49,380
angry about what's in
someone else's cupboards.
441
00:19:49,381 --> 00:19:50,444
If he's really this
furious about it,
442
00:19:50,445 --> 00:19:52,412
it's a disturbing mental condition.
443
00:19:52,413 --> 00:19:54,452
It makes more sense to shoot
John Lennon cos you've read
444
00:19:54,453 --> 00:19:56,432
Catcher In The Rye than
it does to be angry
445
00:19:56,433 --> 00:19:58,460
about the amount of beans
in someone else's kitchen.
446
00:19:58,461 --> 00:20:02,428
Beans! Beans! Beans!
447
00:20:02,429 --> 00:20:06,420
Beans! There's BEANS everywhere!
448
00:20:06,421 --> 00:20:09,432
And that may be a crazy concept
to them - go to the supermarket,
449
00:20:09,433 --> 00:20:11,420
buy some food and EAT IT!
450
00:20:11,421 --> 00:20:14,400
Having been infuriated
by the contents of the kitchen,
451
00:20:14,401 --> 00:20:16,432
they stage
a baked-bean tin-tervention,
452
00:20:16,433 --> 00:20:19,372
confronting the couple with
the financial insanity
453
00:20:19,373 --> 00:20:20,440
of their spending habits.
454
00:20:20,441 --> 00:20:23,460
Over the course of a year...
Hmm... it comes to about £13,000.
455
00:20:23,461 --> 00:20:26,400
Oh, my God. That is an incredible
amount of money.
456
00:20:26,401 --> 00:20:28,424
That's terrible.
That's not funny. No.
457
00:20:28,425 --> 00:20:30,400
Tell you what, mate,
cheer yourself up,
458
00:20:30,401 --> 00:20:32,433
have a spoonful of sumac.
And a sausage.
459
00:20:32,433 --> 00:20:34,449
Now, this point,
at which the family realise
460
00:20:34,450 --> 00:20:36,452
they should maybe make
their money go further,
461
00:20:36,453 --> 00:20:38,448
should be the end of the show,
but it isn't,
462
00:20:38,449 --> 00:20:41,412
because the BBC has to make
its licence fee money go further.
463
00:20:41,413 --> 00:20:42,456
So the programme keeps going,
464
00:20:42,457 --> 00:20:46,368
stretching a 5-minute piece
into a 58-minute epic.
465
00:20:46,369 --> 00:20:48,444
So there's item after item,
some bits involving the family,
466
00:20:48,445 --> 00:20:50,416
some bits of consumer reportage...
467
00:20:50,417 --> 00:20:52,372
You are going to show me
468
00:20:52,373 --> 00:20:54,444
how to make
orange juice from concentrate. Yes.
469
00:20:54,445 --> 00:20:56,416
..reviews of different tea bags...
470
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:59,444
It was a bit tangy but
I think it had a favour.
471
00:20:59,445 --> 00:21:01,428
..basic cookery advice...
472
00:21:01,429 --> 00:21:04,388
Three cuts in there.
473
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,412
Three or four down like that.
474
00:21:06,413 --> 00:21:08,460
..and bits where
there's absolutely nothing to do,
475
00:21:08,461 --> 00:21:10,428
but they have to fill in anyway
476
00:21:10,429 --> 00:21:13,420
because the cameraman's apparently
paid by the day and not the hour.
477
00:21:13,421 --> 00:21:16,368
Got to be a bit Italian.
Sing some Italian songs.
478
00:21:16,369 --> 00:21:18,440
# Onions, onions
what you going to do?
479
00:21:18,441 --> 00:21:20,452
# Onions, onions
480
00:21:20,453 --> 00:21:23,440
♪ For me and you
La-la-la-la... ♪
481
00:21:23,441 --> 00:21:26,420
This is just like being
in jail with these people.
482
00:21:26,421 --> 00:21:28,460
I've eaten economy sausages
with less filler than this.
483
00:21:28,461 --> 00:21:30,376
Come to think of it,
484
00:21:30,377 --> 00:21:31,448
this is just like
an economy sausage -
485
00:21:31,449 --> 00:21:33,396
it's cheap, mass produced,
486
00:21:33,397 --> 00:21:36,392
and it contains chunks of meat
of dubious origin.
487
00:21:36,393 --> 00:21:38,432
By the end, the family's
learned to live within its means
488
00:21:38,433 --> 00:21:40,452
and everyone's learned
a thing or two about thrift.
489
00:21:40,453 --> 00:21:43,428
That's a great saving.
That's a keep for me.
490
00:21:43,429 --> 00:21:46,400
But perhaps the biggest lesson
in thrift is how to make
491
00:21:46,401 --> 00:21:49,376
a spare presenter you've got
in the cupboard go a long way.
492
00:21:49,377 --> 00:21:52,376
Because the BBC is certainly getting
the most out of Gregg Wallace.
493
00:21:52,377 --> 00:21:54,416
As well as Eat Well For Less
they make him judge meals
494
00:21:54,417 --> 00:21:56,372
in the super-tense MasterChef,
495
00:21:56,373 --> 00:21:59,452
he stirfries whatever THAT is in the
entertaining British Food Revival,
496
00:21:59,453 --> 00:22:02,420
he jigs around on
the glamorous Strictly Come Dancing,
497
00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:05,400
he takes part in sick
9½ Weeks tributes
498
00:22:05,401 --> 00:22:07,460
in the scintillating magic show
The Magicians.
499
00:22:07,461 --> 00:22:10,436
He enlivens an otherwise dry money
programme with his barking...
500
00:22:10,437 --> 00:22:12,400
I'm Gregg Wallace,
501
00:22:12,401 --> 00:22:13,456
and I want to know how the downturn
502
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:15,384
is changing the way we eat.
503
00:22:15,385 --> 00:22:18,384
He speaks to potential relatives in
the moving Who Do You Think You Are?
504
00:22:18,385 --> 00:22:20,400
My name's Gregg Wallace.
505
00:22:20,401 --> 00:22:22,448
He's a bit of cheerful table-padding
on the Hootenanny.
506
00:22:22,449 --> 00:22:25,400
Gregg Wallace and Deborah Meaden
here at this table here.
507
00:22:25,401 --> 00:22:27,392
He's a guest panellist
on Would I Lie to You?
508
00:22:27,393 --> 00:22:29,384
Gregg Wallace!
509
00:22:29,385 --> 00:22:31,440
He's listing pet hates
on the laugh-a-minute Room 101.
510
00:22:31,441 --> 00:22:34,444
Joining me tonight
are MasterChef's Gregg Wallace...
511
00:22:34,445 --> 00:22:35,460
He's a welcome presence on
512
00:22:35,461 --> 00:22:38,424
the warm and cuddly Great British
Bake Off: An Extra Slice.
513
00:22:38,425 --> 00:22:40,448
Gregg Wallace!
514
00:22:40,449 --> 00:22:43,436
He keeps the sofa warm
on the pleasant The One Show.
515
00:22:43,437 --> 00:22:45,436
Guests don't get much better
than this.
516
00:22:45,437 --> 00:22:48,408
No, it's John Torode
and Gregg Wallace. Yes!
517
00:22:48,409 --> 00:22:50,464
He waddles around with
things dangling from his scrotum
518
00:22:50,465 --> 00:22:52,444
in the eye-popping Shooting Stars.
519
00:22:52,445 --> 00:22:54,456
Try them down in his mouth, Gregg.
520
00:22:54,457 --> 00:22:56,460
Come on, now...
521
00:22:56,461 --> 00:22:58,412
No, no!
522
00:22:58,413 --> 00:23:00,452
Even when he's not physically
present, he's there.
523
00:23:00,453 --> 00:23:04,372
He's used as a visual reference
on the arresting Crimewatch.
524
00:23:04,373 --> 00:23:06,436
He looks a little like
MasterChef's Gregg Wallace.
525
00:23:06,437 --> 00:23:09,389
They mention him
on uplifting daytime soap Doctors.
526
00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:11,441
You're the one who pervs over
Gregg Wallace and stares
527
00:23:11,442 --> 00:23:14,448
at pictures of food on the internet.
Well, not at sheep maggots.
528
00:23:14,449 --> 00:23:16,460
He's likened to
a contestant on Pointless.
529
00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:19,392
Slight Gregg Wallace look.
What do you reckon?
530
00:23:19,393 --> 00:23:22,428
Gregg Wallace? Yeah, I can see that.
531
00:23:22,429 --> 00:23:25,428
He brightens up the Odd One Out
round of Have I Got News For You.
532
00:23:25,429 --> 00:23:28,444
John Donne,
Gregg Wallace and Thor.
533
00:23:28,445 --> 00:23:31,444
He's the subject of a question
on the tense game show Perfection.
534
00:23:31,445 --> 00:23:36,464
TV's Gregg Wallace is a qualified
rugby coach - is that true or false?
535
00:23:36,465 --> 00:23:39,440
It's true.
Good bit of knowledge there, Gary.
536
00:23:39,441 --> 00:23:42,460
He's the subject of a question
on glitzy quiz show Break The Safe.
537
00:23:42,461 --> 00:23:44,428
Gregg Wallace. Is correct.
538
00:23:44,429 --> 00:23:47,440
He's the subject of a question
on glitzy quiz show Breakaway.
539
00:23:47,441 --> 00:23:50,452
Which Australian chef co-presents
MasterChef with Gregg Wallace?
540
00:23:50,453 --> 00:23:54,392
And he's casually discussed on the
cosy Celebrity Antiques Road trip.
541
00:23:54,393 --> 00:23:55,432
Who was your judge?
542
00:23:55,433 --> 00:23:57,432
John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
543
00:23:57,433 --> 00:23:59,424
Oh, Gregg Wallace. Gosh. Yeah.
544
00:23:59,425 --> 00:24:02,368
Say what you like about the
licence fee, you can't complain
545
00:24:02,369 --> 00:24:04,384
about how much Gregg Wallace
you get for your money.
546
00:24:04,385 --> 00:24:07,400
Valentine's Day is nearly upon us.
I'll tell you what would be
547
00:24:07,401 --> 00:24:10,372
a really good show to watch
on Valentine's Day - Dinner Date.
548
00:24:10,373 --> 00:24:12,420
Look at it! It's brilliant,
so romantic.
549
00:24:12,421 --> 00:24:14,388
But could it be even more brilliant
550
00:24:14,389 --> 00:24:17,388
if it was compressed down
and performed against the clock
551
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:19,429
by Mr Jake Yapp? Well, yes,
it could. Here he is.
552
00:24:24,433 --> 00:24:27,388
I'm a generic,
non-threatening Northern voice-over
553
00:24:27,389 --> 00:24:30,396
introducing a completely
original format without precedent
554
00:24:30,397 --> 00:24:32,416
in television history,
that isn't in any way
555
00:24:32,417 --> 00:24:35,372
a dining contest with
a dating element nailed onto it.
556
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:37,440
Let's meet Brian Bland
from the Midlands,
557
00:24:37,441 --> 00:24:39,392
who'll choose from five menus
558
00:24:39,393 --> 00:24:42,416
with heavily flagged clues to
the depressed dates behind them.
559
00:24:42,417 --> 00:24:44,400
Menu number one has a starter of
560
00:24:44,401 --> 00:24:47,384
princess pink
"cat-lady in waiting" calamari,
561
00:24:47,385 --> 00:24:48,461
followed by "needy" fish pie
562
00:24:48,461 --> 00:24:52,425
and a dessert of "why am I crying?"
salted caramel cheesecake.
563
00:24:52,426 --> 00:24:55,424
Menu number two has
exotic fried plantains,
564
00:24:55,425 --> 00:24:59,384
followed by "token" jerk chicken
and spicy jollof rice
565
00:24:59,385 --> 00:25:02,428
with a desert called
"I am Black, OK?" Mango Parfait.
566
00:25:02,429 --> 00:25:04,464
Let's go to our first date
in a soulless house
567
00:25:04,465 --> 00:25:07,456
on a new-build estate in Leicester,
decorated by Homebase
568
00:25:07,457 --> 00:25:10,460
with "Dance like no-one's
watching" stencilled on the wall,
569
00:25:10,461 --> 00:25:14,416
where Sue is preparing her starter of
"get up and go" grilled lettuce
570
00:25:14,417 --> 00:25:17,368
followed by "I might be 38
but there's still hope
571
00:25:17,369 --> 00:25:19,408
"if I work out enough"
fat-free cabbage salsa
572
00:25:19,409 --> 00:25:20,452
and a warm air pudding.
573
00:25:20,453 --> 00:25:22,400
"Bing-bong!" goes the door.
574
00:25:22,401 --> 00:25:24,440
"I brought this for you."
"Oh, that's nice." "Yeah."
575
00:25:24,441 --> 00:25:26,408
"Come through." "Thanks."
576
00:25:26,409 --> 00:25:29,428
Time to make a few sardonic and
unfunny comments in voice-over.
577
00:25:29,429 --> 00:25:32,424
Again, a fresh take on
dining competition television
578
00:25:32,425 --> 00:25:35,424
and a bit too over-reliant
on phrases like "as you do"
579
00:25:35,425 --> 00:25:37,412
and "that'll be the salt, then",
580
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:40,372
as we watch them brokenly
stagger through the evening,
581
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:41,396
play-acting at adulthood
582
00:25:41,397 --> 00:25:43,440
like children abandoned
in a Romanian orphanage.
583
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:46,396
What's the verdict?
"I give her one and a half stars."
584
00:25:46,397 --> 00:25:48,448
"I give him one and a half stars."
Repeat times three,
585
00:25:48,449 --> 00:25:51,452
and now Brian must choose
which one to take on a date
586
00:25:51,453 --> 00:25:53,412
in the poncey bistro up the road,
587
00:25:53,413 --> 00:25:56,460
and which two - and this is where
the format really bursts into life -
588
00:25:56,461 --> 00:26:00,444
will get a ready-made meal
to microwave. Spectacular finale!
589
00:26:00,445 --> 00:26:03,380
And look at that,
he's picked the black lady
590
00:26:03,381 --> 00:26:06,368
because she least resembles
whoever he was last living with,
591
00:26:06,369 --> 00:26:09,389
possibly his ex-wife
but probably his mother. Bye.
592
00:26:15,461 --> 00:26:18,396
Democracy! And Sky News
emboldens the voting process
593
00:26:18,397 --> 00:26:20,404
with some "stand up and be counted"
594
00:26:20,405 --> 00:26:23,372
democracy-in-action type
bumwash in which
595
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:26,416
"yaaang" people got to blatantly
"aks" the leaders their questions.
596
00:26:26,417 --> 00:26:28,416
The young are always
asking questions.
597
00:26:28,417 --> 00:26:31,400
Mainly because of that stupid
rising cadence thing they do?
598
00:26:31,401 --> 00:26:34,392
Where everything's a question?
Because they're insecure?
599
00:26:34,393 --> 00:26:35,456
Stupid little bastards?
600
00:26:35,457 --> 00:26:38,368
The event was held at
Facebook's London HQ.
601
00:26:38,369 --> 00:26:39,440
You know, Facebook -
the social network
602
00:26:39,441 --> 00:26:41,461
young people associate
with their parents.
603
00:26:41,563 --> 00:26:42,919
Because it was for young people,
604
00:26:43,010 --> 00:26:46,014
they had young people things there
to keep the young people occupied.
605
00:26:46,015 --> 00:26:49,049
Ping-pong table here - will they
bat those questions back and forth?
606
00:26:49,049 --> 00:26:50,988
This is a break-out area,
607
00:26:50,989 --> 00:26:54,004
as young people call it, apparently,
in trendy parlance these days.
608
00:26:54,005 --> 00:26:55,056
'Table football there.'
609
00:26:55,057 --> 00:26:58,052
Will any of the leaders today
score an own goal?
610
00:26:58,053 --> 00:27:00,052
Jesus, how will you
patronise them next?
611
00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:02,964
Give them a sweetshop?
Oh, right, yeah, you have.
612
00:27:02,965 --> 00:27:05,056
How compelling was she? For me
personally, she was an inspiration.
613
00:27:05,057 --> 00:27:08,048
Da yoot of today
aren't moved by politics,
614
00:27:08,049 --> 00:27:11,020
although you could see them being
moved by the production team.
615
00:27:11,021 --> 00:27:14,012
The leaders were being quizzed
by average everyday young folk,
616
00:27:14,013 --> 00:27:16,992
only around 75% of whom
seemed to be wearing glasses.
617
00:27:16,993 --> 00:27:18,964
Because it was for young folk,
618
00:27:18,965 --> 00:27:21,996
it was styled like a late '90s
Zoo TV format or Nosin' Around,
619
00:27:21,997 --> 00:27:23,984
two references
they won't understand.
620
00:27:23,985 --> 00:27:26,960
Still, on its own, the decor
might not have looked too cool,
621
00:27:26,961 --> 00:27:28,052
but the moment
David Cameron strode in,
622
00:27:28,053 --> 00:27:31,040
the set instantly became
200 times cooler. By comparison.
623
00:27:31,041 --> 00:27:32,968
Thank you, David Cameron.
624
00:27:32,969 --> 00:27:35,024
Let's have a round of applause
for the Prime Minister.
625
00:27:35,025 --> 00:27:38,016
In the event, Cameron managed to
just about withstand his burning
626
00:27:38,017 --> 00:27:39,993
compulsion to assume reptilian form
627
00:27:39,994 --> 00:27:42,982
and devour the nearest bystander
in front of horrified onlookers.
628
00:27:42,983 --> 00:27:45,012
Coping equally well with
the creche-like vibe
629
00:27:45,013 --> 00:27:47,980
was Supersonic Sid Miliband,
who found himself interviewed
630
00:27:47,981 --> 00:27:50,032
by Sky's yoof-friendly
selfie stick interviewer.
631
00:27:50,033 --> 00:27:52,044
Is this your first
selfie stick interview?
632
00:27:52,045 --> 00:27:54,032
It is my first
selfie stick interview.
633
00:27:54,033 --> 00:27:56,012
Ed doesn't have
a selfie stick of his own.
634
00:27:56,013 --> 00:27:57,968
But he doesn't really have a self.
635
00:27:57,969 --> 00:27:59,996
Anyway, the high point came
when a member of the auds -
636
00:27:59,997 --> 00:28:01,040
that's youthspeak for audience -
637
00:28:01,041 --> 00:28:04,961
asked Ed Miliband how authentic
a person he really is.
638
00:28:04,962 --> 00:28:06,976
Outside of politics,
what experience do you have,
639
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:09,028
what life experience do you have
to associate and indicate
640
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:11,996
that you should be the one to
represent the people of Britain?
641
00:28:11,997 --> 00:28:15,013
Well, I've done a number
of things which I think,
642
00:28:15,014 --> 00:28:16,997
I hope, are relevant to this,
643
00:28:16,997 --> 00:28:20,008
so I was obviously
an economic adviser in the Treasury,
644
00:28:20,009 --> 00:28:21,056
and I think that's important.
645
00:28:21,057 --> 00:28:24,964
Might be important, Ed, but the
question was "outside of politics".
646
00:28:24,965 --> 00:28:26,024
I've taught. Oh, OK.
647
00:28:26,025 --> 00:28:29,004
I taught at Harvard University.
Oh. No. Not normal.
648
00:28:29,005 --> 00:28:31,024
I taught around
government and economics.
649
00:28:31,025 --> 00:28:32,040
That's politics again.
650
00:28:32,041 --> 00:28:36,000
And I think that, actually,
one of the things that did for me,
651
00:28:36,001 --> 00:28:37,029
being able to teach,
652
00:28:37,030 --> 00:28:39,997
was actually the ability to be able,
653
00:28:39,997 --> 00:28:42,017
I hope, to listen
and engage with people.
654
00:28:42,018 --> 00:28:45,013
You didn't listen and engage when he
asked you not to mention politics.
655
00:28:45,013 --> 00:28:47,992
I also go back to this, which is
about what politics is about.
656
00:28:47,993 --> 00:28:49,044
Stop saying politics!
657
00:28:49,045 --> 00:28:52,976
I think this is the big...
This is a really important issue.
658
00:28:52,977 --> 00:28:54,997
Why am I in politics,
you might wonder?
659
00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:58,158
Can you not stop? Stop! Schofield!
660
00:28:58,565 --> 00:29:01,572
Well, that's all
we've got time for this week.
661
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:03,553
Until next time, go away.
662
00:29:03,578 --> 00:29:27,800
