Would I Lie To You? - Series 8 Page 2

I expect most/all of Brydon's stuff is scripted by other people. (Not that he's not funny himself.)

All the questions have to be written, of course.

The attraction for me is the ad-libbing and quick retorts especially from Mitchell and Mack......but I have now just noticed there are 11 script writers listed.....what are they writing???? How scripted is it? Are there ANY ad-libs?

Good point - 11 Wow! Didn't notice that.

Yes, but there's not that many, and very little research required I would have thought.

Exactly; just think how much editing they must have done to reduce them so much.

That Rob Beckett didn't have a lot to say for himself last night (whoever he is) and did he have a set of those wind-up joke teeth in his gob?

As always a very entertaining episode.

Funny you should mention Rob Beckett, because this week he's been on Mock the Week, on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown AND on WILTY. Not that I'm complaining, he can be very funny and quick-witted.

But like I said - didn't have much input on WILTY, so don't know if he's funny.

Has funny teeth though - does that count?

Was in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) in 1977 - my God that Winter Palace!! Makes Buck House look like a garden shed, and the Hermitage museum - WOW.

He seems to be fully aware that he has funny teeth

Did he have 'em done 'specially?

I don't think so mate.

Tongue in cheek

Wasn't Graeme Garden's lie that he had pigs named after newsreaders a rip off of Kirsty Young's truth that she had chickens named after newsreaders?

These were both in previous series, by the way.

I used to like him in the Banana Split Show.
