    The way Bob destroys David's confidence is amazing. "What should I base it on Bob?" His eyes in that moment are those of a broken man. "I'll never know Samantha..." She has the same expression of total uncertainty in her reality. Bob is a dangerous man. he can unspool your whole psyche with an affable grin and a story about a scotch egg.

    Bob is the most suitable and useful guest any panel show has ever seen.
    The fact that so many of Bob's true stories are absolutely ridiculous, means that whoever writes the lies can push the boat a little further for Bob than for any other guest - And Bob carries the lie so far with his form of storytelling, mixed with his bizarre collection of true stories.
    Fuji 9, The Hand Lion, Castle Douglas and the Gulf Stream, The Tawny Owl, The fireworks in the front room...
    The way he tells the stories and elaborates on details is so chaotic. He throws in bizarre details that just can't be real, but also can't have been made up on the spot.
    I nearly fell out of my chair when I first googled Fuji 9 and learned that a well-known comedian was telling the truth about doing his own fucking dentistry.
    The Bob/David dynamic is just the icing on the cake.

    Bob Mortimer is an amazingly funny story-teller. I remember Tommy Cooper could walk on stage and people began laughing. Bob Has a similar effect, as soon as he starts to speak he is funny, his mind must be racing ahead mapping his tale as he speaks. He is not simply masterfully running through an act of prepared anecdotes, like Billy Connolly or Jasper Carrot. But the other thing, when you consider how many of his seemingly outrageous tales ARE true, he is a fascinating character with some definite eccentricities . . eg his "pocket meat", and "fuji-7" home dentistry. I love his fishing series with Paul Whitehouse - one of the best things on terrestrial TV in recent years. On this program, I now that some of the reactions might be played up, but I do get the feeling that sometimes there is genuine fear and frustration in David Mitchell's eyes.

    David has realised, to his own detriment and possibly his sanity, that with all his logic and education, that the most insane, weird and bizarre stories that Bob tells, regardless of how impossible they could be,throws him into a void of questioning his own reality.
