It's worth saying, he *did* get a lot longer to tell the story. They spent about 40m during the recording on the Horse story, and they had to edit it down *a lot* to get it on television. Hopefully that also adds to the moment when David suggests "let's start from the beginning." They'd been there for ages already when he said that.
I would honestly be like.. ''take my money'' if they'd released the less cut versions, like I would honestly watch 40 mins of just 1 storey. Hell, sometimes, quite regularly I watch 4 hour streams on youtube I think I can handle this lol. But amazing, I didn't know that (only expected something like that to happen with a story like this haha). Thanks for the info :)
@@letheas6175 Yeah, with this one on particular I would love to see the unedited version. Kevin Bridges is so funny, one of the best comedians in the UK.
I read somewhere that Kevin wanted to bring the horse back to the UK but it was very very expensive and loaded with red tape, so instead he found an animal sanctuary in Bulgaria to look after it. The 'guy on the right' is Prof. Brian Cox, former musician and now a professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy.
Hi guys. The guy on the same team as Lee Mack and Kevin Bridges is Prefessor Brian Cox who is a scientist and television presenter. I went to school with him. He was in a local band called Dare and later became the keyboard player in the band D-Ream which had a no 1 hit "Things Can Only Get Better"..
AS a Bulgarian I can explain :). Only gypsies have horses in Bulgaria. Just imagine the film Snatch + Bulgaria. There are no stables.....they live in shacks and just nail a rope on the ground and there the horse lives. I can clearly see someone stealing a neighbor's horse, rent it and does not care to return it. LOL
The guy that said "you're on my team and I don't believe it" is Professor Brian Cox - a former successful musician from the band D-Ream and current day world class eminent BSc PhD particle physicist and astro physicist.
The Host is Rob Brydon, who is a well known comedian / actor, who actually appeared as a team member in the first series before moving on to the host job. About 5 or 6 times he has actually had the story to tell, and both teams have quizzed him, which are also hilarious and worth watching.
I thought he was great as a Player,s well,particularly,interrogating Gabby Logan, but Rob ,himself,was disappointed and did not want to re-appear as a Panellist ,as he said that he did not think he was good enough:)
The guy you said looked like Steve Tyler is professor Brian Cox, an astrophysicist. Fun fact:- Brian played keyboards in a band called "D' ream". They had a hit called "things can only get better". He also helped design and now runs the large hedron collider in Geneva where he smashing atoms together. Very clever guy and a terrible giggler.
Apparently the filming of this one segment took 45 minutes, which they had to cut down for the show and is why they reacted strongly when they suggested he started again
Back in the day, Bulgaria was a very poor country. I remember the first time I went (I'd gained a Bulgarian girlfriend at the time) back in the 1990s. The plane landed (in its "international" airport), with no other planes around, and people disembarked onto the ground (no airport bridge) and started wandering off. I wondered where we supposed to go (it wasn't obvious). I could see the other passengers generally heading towards what was essentially a long low green and rusting shed, with lots of doors. So I followed and just pushed on a random door. Behind the door was a guy sitting behind a wooden bench and another standing by the exit door. Both dressed in drab green in what seemed to be second-hand postman's uniforms. The guy behind the bench took my passport and carefully scanned and read all the pages - including all the blank pages. It got stamped and I was allowed to exit. I needed to find a bathroom and was directed to a room where I was greeted by a fly-blown hole in the ground. Well, we eventually got out of the airport and headed towards my (then) girlfriend's aunt's apartment block where the elevator had only a car headlamp bulb hanging out of the ceiling as illumination and only doors at each floor - not in the elevator itself. You could see the structure of the building passing in front of your eyes and it would be easy to get a hand trapped between elevator and building if you weren't careful. So a dodgy horse at $100 or thereabouts at the time does not seem too fanciful to me.. Of course, since Bulgaria has joined the EU a lot of this has changed - especially the airport which is like any other Western airport these days. A shame really - as it deprives me of more stories to tell!
Great reaction. WILTY is so fun. There are some amazingly funny clips in your future..... won't even mention any names because I don't want to spoil it.
One of the best panel shows on British television. Three names of guests to look out for, all brilliant storytellers, Kevin Bridges (as here), James Acaster, and Bob Mortimer. The guy you mentioned, on the right, is Professor Brian Cox , a particle physicist, who worked on the Large Hydron Collider, but used to be a keyboard plater in the band D-Ream. He's famous in the UK for science documentaries on television, amongst other things. As someone else has said, it went on indefinitely and had to be edited down so a lot is missing. Apparently his father later sorted out the horse issue.
I imagine that the rental cost would be high to discourage theft. When the horse gets returned to the official stable, much of the cost would be reimbursed.
But even today and in the UK (at least in the north) you can rent a horse for riding for 2.5 hours for £95, and this is 1990s post Soviet Union Bulgaria
A bit of showbiz trivia, the lady in this episode of WILTY is the real life wife of the actor Matthew Macfadyen who played Tom Wambsgans in the TV show Succession.
0:36 beautiful British accent Jodi, your British passport is in the post👍🏽😂🫶🏽love that you want more, get back into Bob, you can’t go wrong with any really👍🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is one of the best WILTY clips because this shows the genius of the show, they hear so many stories that even if they hear one that's as crazy as this there's always a doubt that as implausible as a story sounds there's always the chance it could be true. L As for the explanation being cut short I'd recommend watching a whole episode, each person on the panel has a story and there are other segments of the show too. So they have to keep each one kind of short.
Apparently this episode actually took around over 40 minutes to film so they had to edit heaps out to fit the programme. Don't forget Bulgaria is a relatively poor country or at least would have been when Kevin was 18 so the horse probably was cheap.
Jodi The guy on Lee's right is BRIAN COX A professor of Particle Physics & Astronomy. He's presented a couple of TV shows about astronomy. He's also a musician (keyboard player) he played in Dare and D.Ream who had a hit "Things Can Only Get Better"
The guy you said reminds you of Steven Tyler is Brian Cox. He is a famous physicist, who was also a keyboard player for D:Ream, who made it into the UK top 10 music charts.
Great episode and great reaction guys, you must watch some of Kevin Bridges stand up, he's very funny, he comes from same town as Billy Connolly, Glasgow, cheers.
I like that you picked up on the counterfeit but late in the story. That's why I thought it was true and the counterfeit was just to make us think it was a lie. The horse guy is Kevin Bridges a very funny Scottish comedian and the guy on his right is Brian Cox the famous astrophysicist and would be rock God.
i went to Bulgaria in 1990s in a 5 star hotel it was cheep as chips a 1.5l bottle of vodka was only £2 and 11 of us had a meal and drinks and the bill was less than £50 and hookers cost £10 for the whole night " i was told by a friend " he had a differant one every night so thinking spending £90 to rent a horse for a hour was insane
A brilliant show derived from a simple concept. The "contestants" make the show. I used to go skiing to Bulgaria every year flights, accommodation, lift and ski passes were about a third of the cost you'd pay in the US, Canada and some European resorts. Cheaper than Aviemore in Scotland. The £90 rental fee is unbelievable purchase price more credible. Maybe it's a true story the guy with the horse, which may not have been his, wanted 200 lev (which is around £200) just wanted the money, got it then disappeared. I'm making this comment before finding out Truth or Lie.😁
Kevin Bridges is an excellent comedian. Sometimes he has to adjust his strong accent in certain venues... I like it when he doesnt but you have to get used to it 😊
Horse meat in Bulgaria is pretty popular to the point there are dedicated farms for meat production, obviously in this instance these guys saw an opportunity to get rid of a few horses that we're not deemed fit for consumption and a couple of foreigners thinking it was a rental ride got dupped into BUYING the horses lol.... That's the joke, maybe you didn't get that...
Thank you both soooooooooooooooooo much for reacting to this story, I never ever get tired of hearing it, it is incredible that it's true. This story is my equal favourite with Lee Mack's claim that he got invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, I would love to see you react to that one as well
in the east of Europe where the animals very cheap, you can rent a summerhouse with breakfast for 10 days for less than 100 dollar, [now the prices are gone up to] but Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary where than very poor.
The guy who sold or rented the horse must have known they were tourists, which also puzzles me because he knew they wouldn't be able to look after it if he sold it them. That makes me think did the vendor get kidnapped while they were gone and that was the actual price for the ride . 🤷♂️
What actually happened is someone paid 90 pounds to take the horse on a 4 hour trek. They decided to get a refund by re-renting the horse to a couple of dumb tourists for the same amount. When the locals tried to explain to the tourist what happened much was lost in the translation.
In reality it's simple, some conmen hire a horse, go down the road find a gullible foreigner and hire that horse to them at an extortionate rate, unbeknown to them... It's a simple con because they pocket the excess money and the horse is still returned, they could probably run the con several times until they're discovered or the horse needs returning...
The individual who stated he’s on my team and I don’t believe him. He was a member of a top Pop Group but as since become well known as Professor Brian Cox, a Physicist.
£90 would probably have been closer to $200 at the time Which itself would have been worth more than $200 today. Those countries were also a lot poorer back then so that money would go even further.
the accent was not an english to me it sounded more like an german or danish person had spent a year in the uk and tryied out an english accent sorry jodi but please just stick to your own accent loved the reaction though jodi il give you a clue stories that seam to far fetched are mostly all true keep that in mine for the next time you react to one of these well done nick for getting this one right

I’ve watched this one about 10 times and still I crack up laughing 😂

Yes Absolutely

You need to do some of Kevin Bridge's standup routines on your channel. Almost as good as Micky Flanagan. Think you would love his humour.
ALMOST as good! Miles better and easier to understand!

As soon as he Said Bulgaria and £90 , I knew it was true.
I don't know why but, I get this feeling Nick does a sneaky preview to get the correct answer.
Love the reaction ❤
The guy on the right is Prof. Brian Cox, Astrophysicist
The fellow whom you think resembles S Tyler is a tremendous brainbox {and also was in a fairly famous band, by coincidence}
Apparently , they managed to find a rescue center /shelter that took care of the horse. Bc it was found out that the sale was a scam
Rob Brydon is the host, who appeared as a guess himself when Angus Deaton did it, who was the original host of, have i got news for you.
Guy to the right "Steven Tyler" is Brian Cox, a physicist who worked on the Large Hadron Collider who used to be a musician.
The guy you thought looked like Steve Tyler is Professor Brian Cox.
Another great WILTY clip to review is Did Big Narstie really play 'Ukabong
Professor Brian Cox. Possibly one of the most intelligent people on the planet.
this is a classic one
just a normal Scottish lads holiday story

I agree the host Rob Brydon is excellent - so very talented.
Nick needs to start playing poker with those reading skills.
Have to remember the prices there would be so low. Like how in India it would be 50 cents for a haircut or a meal.
My favourite American couple!

Hes very big now kevin bridges, scottish comedian.
The reason they’re all losing their minds is this bit took over 30 minutes, it had to be heavily edited down just to fit it in the show.

Claudia Winkelmann is as good as Bob Mortimer at WILTY
I've requested her to them and other reactors and nobody reacts to her. They're missing out on a good laugh.
I have recorded one from her. Just haven't posted it yet. We will soon.
@Boring Reviews excellent, hope you enjoyed it.
The accent was a bit like mary poppins, but it counts.
Umm, Julie Andrews is English.
Henning Wehn on WILTY. He has some great stories.
Try British accents West country ( English like A Native) give understanding so many varied accents in UK . Try ordering cream tea in Devon
I don’t often get offended but as an Englishman that almost did it 😂
"British accent"
Do people from New York sound the same as people from Alabama?
Nick is now a Johnny Lawrence fan? Has Gabe finally worn you down?
Please stop with the Oirish accents 🤣🤣🥸 love the reactions guys!!!
Ok, the accent wasn’t THAT bad! It’s hard to do right, and I’ve heard a lot worse.
Good on you!
Bob Mortimer is the best on wilty
Your English accent was good... the Irish... the less said the better 😮
That was possibly the worst English accent I've ever heard 😂
No Dick van Dyck was worse.
Lol. It was pretty terrible.

I can only understand him from watching great shows from Glasgow such as Still Game, Chewin the Fat and Burnistoun 😊
I always enjoy your reactions. But what is it with American people always 'trying and failing' to imitate people's accents from other countries!!!!!
jodi, you nailed that Irish accent so well... in about two phrases. Otherwise, just fell apart.
To do an irish accent you just need to learn one sentence.....Oil Beef Forked
the accent was not an english to me it sounded more like an german or danish person had spent a year in the uk and tryied out an english accent sorry jodi but please just stick to your own accent
