Wow, they woke the writers up this week.

From an old mock watched on Dave two days ago:
Round: If this is the answer what is the question - 35,000 tonnes.
Frankie: Was it Tony Blair's callous answer to the question 'how many Iraqi civillian deaths are you responsible for?'
I know I've already addressed these points but it's an example of Frankie being funny, topical and satirical all at once.
