I have been watching this show since 2009 and there is no way I'd still watch it if it wasn't for David. Lee is great but I keep coming back for David.
I completely agree. Lee, as funny as he can be, becomes annoying.with childish dad jokes. Especially “my client would like a moment” and “you’re digging a bigger hole for yourself.” Funny the first time, much less the second and annoying afterwards.
@dragonsdynamite6403 Oh so agree, Lee's humour a lot of the time is just stupid, for me David's SOH is so much better. Also love Bob Mortimer on the show.
Exactly. Lee can be funny at times, but he often descends into belittling David (and Rob) or the other guests, which gets weary very quickly. That one episode when Lee was absent & Greg Davies was the guest team captain in his place is one of my favourite WILTY episodes.
@@tombstonerforever9374 I don't think she helped him "think of stuff" - he's a very experienced improviser. She let him off the hook of having to air something that might embarrass her by giving him tacit permission to talk about the weather-forecast argument.
The bookmark lie was great, very believable; and I can very well believe Victoria has 7 or 8 books on the go too! My wife is called Victoria and reminds of Coren-Mitchell - a true bookworm, intelligent, etc moving Mrs H’s bookmark would annoy her 😂
Eh, science and high class living maybe, but he's talked and written a fair bit about politics. Nothing particularly in depth, but he's moderately well informed at least.
When!?! That seemed like a long lasting relationship to me and even though i didnt follow anything about it it seemed like one of Jons greatest achievements
Yes this was my point@@googleplussuxheavilyperfum5257. In this show, and I guess generally in UK, I have the impression that everyone knew that a wren was a type of bird. In France (and I guess generally everywhere else in the world) very few know that
Re: Overly nimble - given that I'm shorter than average, my wife once remarked to friends that I am not "excessively tall." Oh...I'm TALL...TOWERING, even...just not excessively so.
There is a delicious irony in the title of the fifth piece, Shoeing a fox. I would love to hear David's comments on it. Stand by for a roasting title maker.
The way I knew the stocks one was a lie was because he would have said he was pilloried, given his arms were restricted (his legs would be used to being in pyjama pants).
My wife did the same thing with me about the weather. We're separated now, and she'll have to check the weather herself now. So i win.... in the most minor way possible.
Who else wants to know what that mysterious red switch does in David's flat? I will Pay him $100 to go flip the switch and report back with what happens
If it is true David uses pinless payments, surely Lee would know this. Unless David is so cheap he's never shouted for coffees or a round of beers in his presence haha.
Surprised that David would suggest that Station didnt exist in Latin (1 outpost, picket 2 station 3 watch) when theres so so many examples of station being used in Latin. Even knowing the absolute basics all words that end in tion have a Latin equivalent
but the word "station" did't have the same meaning as "station" today because stations as we know them didn't exist. It would be what's known as "a false friend", effectively - the same word but with a different meaning. Kind of like "demand" which means, well, to demand in English but it only means "to ask" in French, doesn't it?
I don't believe the red switch one no matter what he says. There's no way in hell I can imagine someone as neurotic and weird as David not at least finding out what a red switch in his home does for 11 years. Total horseshit. Him not hitting the switch, fine fair enough but there's no way he doesn't know what that switch does.
Only to very young children and those in the middle of a famine in comprehension of the English language, intellect and wit. I mean you couldn't even get the spelling for something as basic as 'these' correct. Grammar and simple punctuation seem to be your sworn enemies as well. It's no wonder that a show that celebrates wit and inventive usage of language is less than mediocre in your eyes.

It orginally means garments for legs true! Words often change meaning though when taken into another language! In English it has come to mean night clothes that consists of a jacket and trousers also known as pj bottoms!
"You have to get past Pearl on reception"with a nod and a wink, and the Lee saying "Come on!"
!!!
Brilliant!
The “oh he loves it” by Bob KILLS me every time 😂💀
I’ve never heard that till now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was this comment made as part of your will?

Still can't get over the absolute look of horror on Victoria's face at the mere thought of David moving her bookmarks 😂
Clare Balding believing in David and Victoria's relationship is all of us
What was her opinion on John Richardson? I only seen them together on 8oo10c so that took me by surprise
Mmmm Claire balding 😋
@@Dob_Ogurt Relax
@@tompcd1189 I named an ice cream flavour after her, so whenever I hear her name I think of the ice cream
Don't lump me in with you hopeful idiots. IT WON'T LAST!!!! It never does.
Any chance I have to rewatch "Victoria doesn't know this", I will take it.
Im absolutely in love with David Mitchell as an American man I’m not ashamed of this at all and would definitely consider him an adequate colleague
The Latin phrasebook one is _so_ David, it almost borders on ridiculous.
I'm actually surprised that he needed to be drunk to buy the Latin phrasebook. Strikes me as something he'd do stone cold sober.
_Roma locuta est, causa finita est!_

Totally agree. For me, I much prefer David's sense of humour and grumpiness. 😊😊
@dragonsdynamite6403 Oh so agree, Lee's humour a lot of the time is just stupid, for me David's SOH is so much better. Also love Bob Mortimer on the show.

They are both very entertaining and love the banter between them……
Pleasantly surprised that there was one clip I hadn't seen before! Woohoo 🎉🎉
Ooh, which one?
my guess: the first 1 (penguin)
Me too... I hadn't seen the penguin one either 😅
Penguin was also new for me.
This show is a gem! I'll miss it when it's over but we can always watch the classic moments again and again.
I didn't think I could like David Mitchell more, but drunkenly ordering a Latin primer has proven me wrong.
David is somehow one of the funniest people I have ever heard. It defies reason.
Drunkenness is always a primer for reminiscing about how you were educated in latin 😎
Victoria knew that it was a lie, I think.
When?
@@nitroputin5790 When David fiddled with the bookmarks. She helped him out to think of stuff because she knew it was a lie.
@@tombstonerforever9374 I don't think she helped him "think of stuff" - he's a very experienced improviser. She let him off the hook of having to air something that might embarrass her by giving him tacit permission to talk about the weather-forecast argument.
@@ashleyzinyk399eh, it seemed she was more creating a false argument to muddy the waters.

David knows nothing of science, politics, high class living like many assume he does but he knows so much about history.
Eh, science and high class living maybe, but he's talked and written a fair bit about politics. Nothing particularly in depth, but he's moderately well informed at least.
Well, he did major in history in college, so it’s a pretty sensible outcome.
What have you achieved with your qualifications?
He doesn't claim to.
Disagree with the politics 🙄, the rest is probably very true
That he wears a nightshirt comment was brutal.
And a long nightcap and he carries a lit candle to bed.
As a child I devised a satisfying way to play solo monopoly, but I did not utilise a face bucket.
ever since Jon and Lucy broke up the only marriage i believe in is David and Victoria
When!?!
That seemed like a long lasting relationship to me and even though i didnt follow anything about it it seemed like one of Jons greatest achievements
Nvm, i checked it, but still i am not happy about the news
Excuse me, WHAT??
@@nitroputin5790she didn’t ever treat him nicely .
He was very lucky considering the polar opposite personalities.
The writers on this show love : 1. Nuclear bunkers 2. Things “getting out of hand”
8:59 Sounds like Jimmy Carr is sat amongst the audience?
What is "Plimsol" (sp?)
Plimsolls are also known as "sandshoes", they're lightweight shoes with canvas uppers and flat rubber soles.
We called our gym shoes plimsolls. 60 years ago ! And they were only worn indoors. Only really poor kids wore them outside 😊
Interesting how UK people have a higher knowledge of birds. In France, most of the people do not even know that a 'troglodyte mignon' is a bird
I suspect that in most places if you asked someone what a "troglodyte mignon" was they wouldn't know.
Yes this was my point@@googleplussuxheavilyperfum5257. In this show, and I guess generally in UK, I have the impression that everyone knew that a wren was a type of bird. In France (and I guess generally everywhere else in the world) very few know that
I just assumed that's what they called Parisians

Re: Overly nimble - given that I'm shorter than average, my wife once remarked to friends that I am not "excessively tall." Oh...I'm TALL...TOWERING, even...just not excessively so.
Can we get an update on what Davids Red Switch does please?
Someone asked him on twitter, he never found out and moved
@@kasocool2812 ahh shame😄 thank you
A beautiful Sports Jacket in brown, David Michell is wearing, for the Fox Story
Moving bookmarks is devious!
Just thinking of doing it is devious. Actually doing it is pure evil.
David's face after "You get in (the leisure suit) and whatever happens, it's fine." 19:30. He knows, oh yes, he knows.
There is a delicious irony in the title of the fifth piece, Shoeing a fox. I would love to hear David's comments on it. Stand by for a roasting title maker.

Those background buzzes are a bit annoying.....apart from that, this was fun...
I cannot, for the life of me, work out why these bits are in a reverse order 🤔
I'm forever going to be upset that Holly Walsh didn’t get a story in her episode.
Who’s she
@@dragonsdynamite6403The woman on Lee's team in the last video. She's great on QI and David Mitchell's radio show The Unbelievable Truth.
I agree. I've also watched her a lot on Qi and Unbelievable Truth. She's very clever and generates a lot of fun on anything that she appears in.
My wife did the same thing with me about the weather. We're separated now, and she'll have to check the weather herself now. So i win.... in the most minor way possible.
Congratulations.
Not to worry, I keep her updated.

Perhaps different meaning.
Didn’t station relate to troops awaiting in position?

why are they still doing the social distancing? it felt more intimate and homely without it!
This is an old clip - they’ve moved the desks back together now.
The separate desks are so dumb. Are they like that forever now?
No, they were only there for social distancing during covid. Thankfully they're gone.
A Latin primer is not a phrase book. Not even in panel show world.
Whats a primer then
@@MURDERPILLOW. Latin primers are traditional grammar handbooks - manuals… phrase books are filled with useful phrases and translations.
