(Series 17, Episode 5)

 

A: Paul and Richard, a revolving pun for you:

 

PICTURED:  Paul & Richard's tabloid headline


P: Ah, now I think this is what Ian was referring to earlier. 'First class pose' is the photographs of Edward and Sophie, just been released on the first class stamp.

A: Yes, we can see the stamp. There we are.



 

PICTUREDFirst Class stamp to commemorate the impending  Royal  Wedding  

 

 


S: Does that mean every time I send a letter I have to lick Prince Edward's backside?

P: It makes them look like - as they're both wearing the same colour top - it makes them look like one person with two heads! In-breeding!

A: So where's the wedding happening?

P: Oh, it's, er...

S: London, I think.

I: It's in a registry office in Neasden.

P: Isn't it Windsor? St George's in Windsor.

P&R: St George's Chapel.

A: Have you been invited Stephen?

S: Shut up!

I: Have you Angus?

A: No, I certainly haven't! Have you been invited to Posh and Becks' wedding as well?

S: No I haven't, no.

 

 

 

  PICTUREDStephen demonstrates his   

 disappointment at his lack of invite to the Beckham 

 wedding...

 

 

P: Have you?

A: No, no I haven't.

P: Well why are we talking about weddings we haven't been invited to? The subject matter is almost endless! It's only when we hit a wedding that we've been invited to that we can shut up!

A: Which I think Stephen probably has.

S: Oh no!

A: Now you're going to have to phone up and get the gift list of course, and choose something off it. Have you seen what the various options are?

S: I'm saying nothing!

A: Right. You can buy them a Bang Olufsen TV and video for four thousand, nine hundred and fifty pounds. That's on the list.

S: I'm not going to!

A: Right.

S: I thought I might buy them a stamp!

A: So will you be going to the stag night do you think?

S: Leave me alone!

A: Just if you do, you'll get to meet Stuart Hall.

S: No!

A: Yes, he's going. Andrew Lloyd-Webber...

S: Stuart Hall as in "It's A Knockout"?

A: Yes.

S: Is he really? Why?

A: "It's A Royal Knockout".

S: Of course! They became friends after that.

I: Is this just Edward's closest buddies?

S: And Stephen, yes!

S: You're accusing me?! I have not penetrated Prince Edward's intimate circle!

A: Yes, it's the launch of stamps commemorating Sophie and Edward's forthcoming marriage. The Post Office has learnt its lesson from previous Royal Wedding issues - this time the perforations go down the middle of the stamp.

According to the Mail: "Immediately after the wedding, Edward is planning to whisk Sophie off".


PICTUREDThe aftermath of Angus's monologue......


S: Oh dear, oh dear!

(laughter continues among the panellists as Angus tries to move on)
