Series T - VG: Part I

A selection of the best moments from the recent series. Sandi Toksvig asks questions connected to the letter T, as Alan Davies and the guest panellists try to come up with interesting, point-worthy answers - all the while avoiding the most obvious ones.

Topics

- Tips And Tools Best Bit: A selection of unusual tools.

- Ticks Tax Toes Best Bit Tangent: Ross Noble's stuffed otter.

- Ticks Tax Toes New Material Tangent: When Ross took the otter back on the plane, it would not fit in the overhead locker, so the crew put fragile stickers on it and put in the hold. When he arrived to collect his luggage at Stansted, he discovered the baggage handlers deliberately put the otter through first, having the otter stand up. It rolled off the end and landed perfectly with its legs in the air.

- This That And The Other Best Bit Tangent: Guz Khan accidently kicking a turtle off a roof in Morocco.

- Tubular Best Bit: Women being arrested for wearing trousers.

- Tea Time Best Bit Tangent: Rosie Jones's mother stealing teaspoons.

- Trundling Best Bit: Working tractor beams.

- Theatrical! Best Bit: Dealing with toddler tantrums.

- 'T' Animals Best Bit Tangent: Can sharks walk on land, was is it an Australian hoax?

- Thrills & Spills Best Bit: Acts that combined ballooning, trapezing and parachuting in a single performance.

- Telling Tails New Material Tangent: If you rub a banana on the roof of your car, it will attract monkeys. Rob Beckett did this with his car for his children, but he also did on his friend's new car, and he was livid.

- Trundling Best Bit: George Francis Train, the man who introduced trams to Britain.

- Testing New Material Tangent: Elephants are left-and-right tusked, similar to humans being left-and-right handed. The Fleetwood Mac album "Tusk" is named after the nickname for Mick Fleetwood's penis. Susan Calman find this disturbing because she paid to meet Fleetwood, and he is a very tall man. She has a photo of them with her hand around his arse, meaning she was very close to the tusk.

- Toys, Tinsel And Turkeys Best Bit Tangent: Gyles Brandreth's teddy bear museum.

- Telling Tails Best Bit: The best use of a telepathic rabbit.

- Tubular Best Bit: Bridget Christie's fear of lots of holes next to each other.

- Television Best Bit: A question from Basil Brush.
