What I like about this is that it demonstrates the fallibility of media. I saw that episode of HIGNFY and I took that story at face value, because it seemed too mundane to be made up, and too easy to verify for it to be a mistake. Truly no story is proof against error.
Okay, at first I was thinking this was going to be one of the weaker episodes, but after the first break it just kept getting funnier and I kept laughing harder XD
@@DanTheStripe As an American who knows very little about the details of British culture, I always find the poems to be weaker because I don’t understand what the joke is. Everything else Dave does is fantastic though.
Fantastic watch during these strange times! Thanks Dave. I hope you'd consider doing one off specials every now and then as it's a great show and probably some of the best comedy I've ever seen!
He's making a new series now: "Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply" which is a similar format, with 'celebrity' guests. Series one is on UKTV Play now.
god i love you dave. I know you dont know me but ive been having such a hard time of things. With all this stuff thats going down today. And not being able to see a doctor. But when i watch your videos on modern life is goodish. it brings such a smile on my face. you are one of the most real and funny person i have never met.
I like a jigsaw too. In fact, I bought a new one last spring when I decided my old one was too worn out for a woodworking project I needed it for. I'm not big on puzzles, though... ;-)
About 15 years ago I had 3 jigsaws made by one of those companies, and I found out they all used the same pattern. I've had them on my wall, including swapped around segments, ever since.
Glad to hear that Have I Got News For You is appointment television for Dave, particularly considering he was on one of the most famous episodes in the program's history and then somehow not invited back for future appearances.
@JohnDlugosz There are certain times on that program where the guest literally has no chance to make an impact because of the circumstances, and was that EVER a circumstance. Nothing he could add on that day would be better than hearing it from Ian or Paul (especially Paul, who could never stand Angus in the first place.)
No point contacting the BBC. Have I Got News For You is actually made by a company called Hat Trick. Coincidentally, Hat Trick has also made Mastermind since 2019, so their shows get mentioned a few times in this episode.
Can confirm, Elite:Dangerous is a cool game. Nothing quite like floating around a replica galaxy discovering cool stuff and being a space pirate/smuggler/bounty hunter/explorer. Or taking your EVA buggy jumping across alien dunes on a moon 10000LY from earth. Play with VR and the game enters it's own tier in my opinion, the sound design and graphics work great in VR.
@@vermis8344 I was gonna argue with this but you know what I've thought about it, read the comments on a video about the Israeli Palestine conflict and you're absolutely right.
Well I for one am outraged. It’s political correctness gone mad. What is Britain coming to? Can’t a man make a nonsensical comment on the bottom half of the Internet without some so-called “comedian” finding it and turning it in to a humorous poem?
Christ I remember seeing Master Mind in the games cupboard when I was a kid and not wanting to touch it because it looked too adult and dangerous for a kid to touch hahaha
Some Jigsaw manifacturers, for quite large puzzles, at least (2000+), maybe even for smaller, i don't know, use the same profile twice in the same puzzle; e.g. you make the left part (1000 pieces) and if you reverse it you have the pattern for the other half.
If Dave didn't know that the pieces of the Tom Jones puzzle and the Alan Sugar puzzle where cut exactly the same before he ordered the Tom Jones one, why is Tom Jones's face conveniently placed in the right spot to do the face swap? (Insert Mastermind theme tune here)
Jigsaw puzzle companies have to change the cutters somewhat often as they get dull. When they do, it makes sense to also make a new pattern (probably easier than making the same one, in fact). I'm not sure how often they have to replace the cutters, but the odds of the same shapes in different puzzles probably depends a lot on how big the runs of individual images is. (I only know this because the podcast Every Little Thing got a question about this topic and interviewed someone at a company that makes puzzles.)
RE: the sudoku books "killer" is the name for a particular type of puzzle that uses dotted cages in the puzzle where digits can't repeat in a cage. The name killer comes from the fact that the idea came about from fact that the puzzles stumped traditional computer solvers at the time. Calling the puzzle book "Killer Sudokus" isn't exaggerating or trying to be extreme, it's just accurate.
That's the point. Calling "a particular type of puzzle...where digits can't repeat in a cage" "killer" IS "exaggerating or trying to be extreme". It isn't literal and "accurate". It has, as Dave says, "a severity, a threat to it".
From Wikipedia, "despite the name, the simpler killer sudokus can be easier to solve than regular sudokus". Regardless, Paul is correct, no-one had to call those particular type of puzzles 'killer', and it is an unusually extreme name for something so innocuous.
@@owenhall5742 I thought about this while commenting earlier. What if Dave is posting all his previous episodes so he can use the comments for a Found Poem in an upcoming series?
Hadn't seen this episode before. Excellent. Can't wait for more posts. I could be wrong but I don't think Dave's show has been on in Australia. I've only seen it here on UA-cam.
I had mastermind game as a child, in fact I’ve still got it at my mums house. I loved playing it and never thought there was anything weird about the picture on the box. Just thought it was a picture of 2 intelligent people on the box.
How do you do Mastermind as a board game? You're supposed to declare a specialist subject in advance so they can write your questions. Apart from that, it's just general knowledge. What good is a board if that's all the game is?
The people who work the thrift shops near Dave's home must wonder why they always have so much business. It's fans flocking to the location to try and spot one of his pranks.
Bubble Bobble, a proper game 😉 WOW! The artwork for the Mum and Dad is ridiculous. What year did think it was? 🤣 Bono and The Edge. The ones with shit nicknames are the Arseholes in the band.
Fun fact, when you get into larger jigsaws they start repeating the pattern in the same puzzle because they can't make a machine big enough to do it in one go. That's how I filled in all the white in ravensburgers 24,000 piece puzzle, I matched up the pieces and fit one in and then I knew where 3 others went because each 4,000 piece section is made of 4 repeated 1,000 piece sections (the entire puzzle is 24 1,000 piece sections that are identical). 😂 I hope that fits the definition of fun fact 😅
Once when I was at London Liverpool Street train station, I saw Dave Gorman standing there, and I recognised him and walked the other way, as I didn't want to get involved in any weird stuff.
the jigsaws being cut seperatly means 1 puzel is cut then another meaning the pictures dont line up. no 2 pieces of the same picture are identical as they may be cut upside down or on a different machine. you could still order the same piece cut from the same part of the die but it wont align
With board games it's not just the ads that get misleading. Often the 'game in progress' photo on the back of the box depicts a set-up that breaks the game's rules.
Look up any mascara advert you can find on UA-cam (in English) and somewhere you'll see the text "model is wearing eyelash enhancements" or something to that effect, usually very briefly, in an area of low contrast and very small. It's like advertising a weight loss product and using a model who has had liposuction (or had a gastric band fitted as was the case of Fern Britton advertising Ryveta).
I recently saw someone (multilevel marketing scheme) advertising weightloss. She had 4 pictures in her bra. One with a bulging stomach. One with a big stomach. One with a normal stomach. One with a flat stomach. Simultaneously, her face went a bit redder each time and her shoulders were higher up, her ribs sticking out further. Holding her breath. I complimented her on the pictures and added; 'Wow, that works fast, you lost it all on the same day?" She said; 'What do you mean?" And I said; 'Well, not only are you wearing the exact same bra and pants, but the background shows your bed. And the creases and folds on your folded bedcovers and pillows are the exact same. Or are you trying to tell me you've been sleeping on the floor?" She deleted the advertisement after that.
@@cheatsenabled1662 My guess is for the recording they were allowed to say how much it was but by the time it got to air the lawyers advised against it. So they had to bleep when Dave said £100 and blur out the cost. Otherwise I reckon he'd make a joke like "I can't tell you how much because lawyers but it got me 2 new jigsaws done". Now they cut the little bleep out it is better. But again only a guess
It's always a good sign when the found poem is done at the end of part 2 and not at the end of part 3 - it means that there are 22 minutes of material ahead of us that is apparently too good to get interrupted.

Dave's not the only person to confuse Mastermind and Mastermind. I wondered in my youth how the board game related in any way to the game show.

Does the ‘not actual show footage’ become ‘actual show footage’ because the ‘not actual show footage’ was actually shown on the show as footage? 🤔
My brain hurts.
Genius! Those jigsaws will be keeping somebody amused during lockdown.
The first ad that came up was for an X Box game, Assassin’s Creed, without (I assume) not actual game footage.
I feel Dave, is planning on another show but using his own UA-cam comments.

Console/PC game adverts do at least somewhat represent the game. Mobile game adverts are generally completely unrelated to the game itself.
The lady has a really clear tv voice, Dave lucked out with that pick.
With board games it's not just the ads that get misleading. Often the 'game in progress' photo on the back of the box depicts a set-up that breaks the game's rules.
The master mind guy reminds me of David Brent
Look up any mascara advert you can find on UA-cam (in English) and somewhere you'll see the text "model is wearing eyelash enhancements" or something to that effect, usually very briefly, in an area of low contrast and very small. It's like advertising a weight loss product and using a model who has had liposuction (or had a gastric band fitted as was the case of Fern Britton advertising Ryveta).
I recently saw someone (multilevel marketing scheme) advertising weightloss.
She had 4 pictures in her bra. One with a bulging stomach. One with a big stomach. One with a normal stomach. One with a flat stomach.
Simultaneously, her face went a bit redder each time and her shoulders were higher up, her ribs sticking out further. Holding her breath.
I complimented her on the pictures and added; 'Wow, that works fast, you lost it all on the same day?"
