1:17

Hello, I'm Steve Punt. And I'm Hugh

1:19

Dennis. With us are Desiree Birch, Alistair

1:21

Beckett-King, Daniel Barker, Gemma Arrowsmith, and Hugh

1:23

Davis. And this

1:25

is... The

1:29

Now Show! Thank

1:37

you very much. Hello. Well,

1:40

it was the King's speech this week, and it was a

1:42

bit different to the last one 71 years ago. Yeah,

1:45

I watched the whole thing, and he didn't stammer

1:47

once. It

1:49

was widely noticed that the speech contained

1:51

a number of measures that Charles is

1:54

assumed to personally disagree with, although there

1:56

was nothing really groundbreaking, except new licences

1:58

for oil and gas exploration. which

2:00

kind of have to be groundbreaking or

2:03

they won't find any. Charles

2:05

Nightwell also not have approved of rolling

2:07

back various environmental protections. They obviously worried

2:09

that he might read through it and

2:11

think... They might make a few changes

2:14

to this. But they made sure he

2:16

couldn't by checking there was nothing available

2:18

to change it with. He was reportedly

2:20

overheard muttering, Where's that bloody pen? It

2:24

was either that or put in a few

2:26

policies they thought might go down well. My

2:28

government intends to reduce the tax on all

2:30

premium quality jams, chuffies and

2:32

shortbread. It

2:35

was also banned on selling canisters of

2:37

nitrous oxide or laughing gas for recreational

2:39

use. Which will have noticeable effects for

2:42

a start. It's going to make these

2:44

recordings a lot quieter. Although

2:48

rumours of a similar plan to ban

2:50

the inhaling of other well-known gases were

2:52

denied by a spokesman who said... We

2:54

currently have no plans to do this.

2:58

The opening of Parliament is a cross-party

3:00

occasion of course, but not really. Like

3:02

everything at the moment, it's highly divisive.

3:04

Everything has to be an argument all

3:06

the time. Everything has to be one

3:08

side or the other. And some people

3:10

just want to make it worse. Nadine

3:12

Dorries for example, who's also been trying

3:15

to increase divisiveness this week with the

3:17

publication of her book, with a plot

3:19

which claims to expose

3:22

the shadowy political figure

3:24

responsible for removing Boris Johnson

3:26

from power. His

3:28

name? Boris

3:30

Johnson. According

3:34

to Nadine, there is a secret

3:36

cabal that runs the Conservative Party

3:38

behind the scenes. It's called the

3:41

movement. No

3:44

one disputes that stuff goes on behind the

3:46

scenes of course for years. People used to say

3:48

that the Conservatives were run by the men in

3:50

grey suits, who were a bit

3:52

like the men in black, except instead of wiping

3:54

your memory with a flash gun, they would use

3:57

six double jins and a creme de monde. According

3:59

to Nadine... is

6:00

that? Well, though, weirdly, there are some

6:02

genuine records that he doesn't mention. No

6:04

president in history has ever faced as

6:06

many felony charges as me in all

6:08

of history. Many people say

6:11

no US president has ever achieved as much

6:13

fraud as I did. It

6:17

seems like there isn't anything that can't

6:19

be used to divide people. For example,

6:21

you would think that a heartwarming story

6:23

about rescuing a sheep that's been stranded

6:26

for two years at the foot of

6:28

a cliff in northern Scotland might

6:30

bring people together. But no, the rescue of

6:33

the animal that the press dubbed Britain's

6:35

Loneliest Sheep, which is very

6:37

lazy, by the way, because it should really have been

6:40

Britain's Loneliest Sheep. Bah!

6:42

None. It

6:46

became very controversial because there were two

6:48

separate groups planning to rescue her. An

6:50

animal rights group thought they'd reached an

6:52

agreement to manage the rescue, but then

6:54

left the site to go to the

6:56

shops, allowing a

6:58

group of farmers time to winch a sheep

7:00

up 200 feet to the top of the

7:02

cliff, which suggests that it can be a

7:05

long way to the shops in northern Scotland.

7:08

Basically, it was a sheep

7:10

heist. It was carried out right under

7:12

the noses of the rival gang. We

7:14

are the sheep, we are the vations,

7:17

the sirens. But

7:19

the divisiveness doesn't end there. Having missed out

7:21

on the rescue, the animal rights people discovered

7:23

that Fiona, the sheep in question, was being

7:25

sent to a petting zoo and began protesting

7:27

outside. With the result that Fiona has now

7:29

been taken into hiding, it's believed to be

7:31

the first time that a sheep has had

7:33

to be placed in witness protection. Okay, here's

7:38

your new passport, identity papers, a new set

7:40

of horns, everything you need. You're

7:42

now a goat named Gisele from Connecticut, where

7:47

you attended Yale as a mascot for the women's

7:49

lacrosse team. If

7:51

anyone gets suspicious, what do you tell? Wrong

7:54

noise, ma'am. Many

7:57

questions remain. Why did you want to

7:59

leave the on a barren ledge? Did

8:01

she slip? Did she get lost?

8:03

Did she want to change the

8:05

narrative about sheep and be free

8:07

thinking and independent? Or should

8:09

we believe the Home Secretary's theory? It

8:12

was a lifestyle choice. We

8:16

also don't know why Fiona was first

8:18

spotted two years ago but nothing was

8:20

done. In all UK

8:22

lost sheep cases the first person to

8:24

be contacted is of course Bo Peep

8:27

who recommended standard procedure.

8:30

Leave her alone and she'll come home. Advice

8:32

which the Scottish Government say badly

8:34

needs revising. You wouldn't believe

8:37

a simple sheep rescue could be so divisive

8:39

but it was. Everything was controversial. There were

8:41

complaints that she shouldn't have been sheared, that

8:43

she shouldn't have gone to a petting zoo,

8:46

that no one checked her pronouns before calling

8:48

her Fiona. And

8:51

when the photo of the rescue was shown

8:53

on BBC News, viewers complained that she wasn't

8:55

wearing a poppy. What

9:04

this country needs right now is a

9:06

hero and we're putting someone forward for

9:08

the position right after we check his

9:10

references. Would you please welcome Alastair Beckett

9:12

King. Hello

9:16

it's me Alastair Beckett King. I'm often

9:19

described as a Renaissance man because I'm

9:21

500 years old and I poo in the street. Now

9:25

they say there are no more heroes. Is

9:27

that true? When I think of British heroes

9:30

I think of Boudicca, Robin Hood, The Cat

9:32

Bin Lady, Mr Blobble, Compo

9:34

from Last of the Summer Wine

9:36

and perhaps greatest of all Boris

9:38

Johnson. It has been a

9:40

tough week for people like me who

9:42

idolised Boris Johnson. The revelations of the

9:44

Covid inquiry have shattered my image of

9:47

Johnson as an honest man who would never

9:49

blow a hairdryer up his nose. That

9:52

is absolutely not the kind of blow I associate

9:54

with a Tory MP's nose. Until this week I

9:56

believe that Boris Johnson was the one who was

9:58

the one Winston Churchill of

10:00

our times. These days there are no

10:03

heroes like Winston Churchill. In fact it's

10:05

become fashionable among today's left-wing stand-up comedians

10:07

to say that Churchill was racist because

10:09

of the racist things he said and

10:11

did. No,

10:14

come on, do we really want to start judging people

10:16

based on their words and actions? In

10:19

truth there are no political heroes these days.

10:22

This week's Stoehler Braavman failed in her attempts

10:24

to ban homeless people from sleeping in tents

10:26

she wrote... She doesn't seem worried that the number

10:28

of rough

10:38

sleepers has gone up so much as that

10:40

the quality of rough sleepers is going down. And

10:44

she's right, when was the last time you

10:46

saw a proper English street urchin solving a

10:48

case for Mr. Sherlock Holmes? There

10:52

are no political heroes today. What's

10:54

that I hear you cry? What

10:56

about Keir Starmer? No, none of

10:58

you said that. The kindest thing

11:00

I can say about Keir Starmer

11:02

is that you can sing his

11:04

name to the Goldfinger music. Keir

11:08

Starmer, he's

11:11

a man. And in a way he

11:13

is. Honestly

11:17

I believe the true hero of my lifetime is

11:20

not a politician but an inventor from the 1990s.

11:23

As a millennial I remember the 90s as if

11:25

they were yesterday when they were actually 10 years

11:28

ago. I will never forget

11:30

my hero, the inventor of

11:33

the dial-up modem noise. We've

11:36

done it sir, we've invented the 56k

11:38

dial-up modem. This is going to

11:40

revolutionize home computing. That is fascinating,

11:42

absolutely fascinating. What kind of noise

11:45

does it make? Oh well

11:47

it doesn't make a noise exactly what it does is

11:49

connect your personal computer. Oh it's got to make a

11:51

noise son. What's the

11:53

noise? I guess it could

11:55

go beep. Oh no no no that's not what

11:57

I have in mind. What's your What

12:00

would it sound like? Oh, I don't know. Something

12:02

like... You

12:07

want it to go... No,

12:13

no, no. That's

12:17

not it at all. It

12:19

should go... And

12:26

it should do that when you install the modem. No,

12:28

no, no, no. Every

12:31

time. And

12:34

say, there are no more heroes. But

12:36

maybe we're looking in the wrong places. Perhaps

12:38

we should be building statues to ordinary, boring

12:40

people, like you, and to a lesser extent

12:42

me. When

12:45

I was a kid, my heroes were

12:47

train conductors. I loved train conductors. Now,

12:50

I won't call them train guards, because

12:52

they're not guards. If you're on

12:54

a train and you say, guards, seize him, they do

12:56

nothing. But

12:59

for my money, train conductors are the

13:01

only true heroes in Great Britain. A

13:03

train conductor goes into work every day...

13:05

Well, not every day. But

13:10

almost every day, they go into work and

13:12

they pick up the worst microphone in

13:14

the universe and

13:17

god love them, they mumble. Welcome

13:21

aboard this bramble. Now, increase the

13:23

surface to wrinkly school baggage. My

13:25

name is Clint. The train shall be a private dancer for the

13:27

wind of this journey. We do

13:29

have a cross-section of hot and cold hemorrhages

13:31

in the under-seat overhead vestibules provided. Advanced

13:34

kitchen holders, please make sure you have all

13:36

your chickens and glasses ready, and thank you for travelling

13:38

to choose with us today. Once

13:41

again, this is your humbly sublease's surface to nimbly

13:43

fond of maggots, coral at marking, beef

13:46

in the hole, don't be on the lime, and

13:48

shinty where this train detonates. Please

13:52

make sure you have all your childhood memories with you

13:55

when leaving the train. Train

14:00

conductors are my heroes. Grab

14:03

fortunate jobswests who are in danger of

14:05

being replaced by a computer. For me,

14:07

nobody represents the people of Britain better.

14:15

That's a better tune there. So,

14:17

this week saw a lot of anniversaries of

14:19

varying kinds. For example, it was 90 years

14:22

ago this week that the first photographs

14:24

of the alleged Loch Ness Monster were

14:26

published. Yes, and we're stressing a ledge

14:28

there regarding the prehistoric relics supposedly lurking

14:30

in 700 feet of water. Yeah,

14:33

face it, if it's been around for 90 years

14:35

that makes it Britain's first deep fake. The

14:40

Loch Ness Monster is perhaps Britain's most famous

14:42

mythical creature up there with the Beast of

14:44

Bodmin and the Surrey Puma. Yes, both wild

14:46

cats but with different diets. The

14:49

Beast of Bodmin primarily preys on farmland,

14:51

sheep and chickens, while the Surrey Puma

14:53

generally heads around the back of Waitrose.

14:57

Then Saturday sees the birthday of

14:59

the world's longest-running television news programme.

15:03

Tonight on Panorama, we ask,

15:06

why can't the Now Show get the rights to

15:08

the Panorama theme tune? 2023

15:12

auto marks 400 years since the

15:15

publication of the first printed collection of

15:17

Shakespeare's plays. And eight years since Boris

15:19

Johnson signed a contract to write a

15:21

book about their author. Earlier

15:23

this year, Hodder and Storton, the publishers,

15:25

confirmed that Johnson is still under contract.

15:27

Nobody's sure whether that means they're still

15:29

expecting the book or whether they've hired

15:31

a hitman to get their... to

15:35

get their advance back. It's a

15:37

significant anniversary though. Shakespeare's first folio

15:39

is one of the landmark books in literary

15:41

history up there with the King James Bible,

15:44

Decline and Fall, The Roman Empire and of

15:46

course, the plot by Nadine Doris. The

15:49

folio contained 36 plays, including Henry

15:51

IV, parts 1 and 2, Henry V,

15:54

Henry VI, Henry VIII and the much-distributed

15:56

lost play, Horrid Henry. The

16:00

Folio's compilers sometimes had to make decisions

16:02

about titles. Henry VI, parts 1, 2

16:05

and 3 appeared in quarto as

16:07

Henry VI, Henry VI Judgment Day

16:09

and Henry VI Rise of the

16:12

Machines. Shakespeare

16:15

is known to have been influenced by

16:17

Christopher Marlowe and was probably trying to

16:19

emulate his big hit, Faust and Furious.

16:24

But the 36 plays of the

16:26

Folio have become, of course, renowned

16:28

worldwide. Although Shakespeare is not without his

16:31

critics, some say his plays are unrealistic and

16:33

his characters don't act like real people. And

16:36

I do admit Shakespeare would have made a terrible agony, Uncle. Rise,

16:39

well, I've got a letter here from Malcolm

16:42

in Scotland and he says... Well,

17:01

Malcolm, you know, change can be difficult for all

17:03

of us. Have

17:05

you considered dressing up as a tree and attacking

17:07

this other bloke's house? Four

17:11

centuries of Caesar, Hamlet, Lear. I wonder

17:13

if people will still be reading Shakespeare

17:16

in another 400 years time. And

17:18

more importantly, will Boris' Shakespeare book have

17:21

been published yet? Saturday

17:24

is the 105th anniversary of the

17:26

end of the First World War

17:28

with Remembrance Day on Sunday. For

17:30

the first time in 28 years, the

17:32

British Legion have developed a new poppy

17:35

design. Yes, that's right. This year they've

17:37

created a poppy that is completely plastic

17:39

free, a feat which had previously only

17:41

been achieved by poppers. This

17:48

year has brought controversy, though. Saturday also

17:50

sees a pro-Palestine march which will cross

17:52

the Thames at Vauxhall Bridge and mile

17:54

up the river from Whitehall. Sowella Brabant

17:56

said that anyone trying to vandalise the

17:58

Cenotaph... in a jail

18:00

cell faster than their feet can touch the

18:03

ground. Although anyone who manages to

18:05

vandalise the senator from over a mile away

18:08

is more likely to be offered a show in Vegas and

18:10

a Channel 4 special. I

18:12

almost feel sorry for Suella Brabhaman,

18:14

because it looks like some of our fears

18:17

about artificial intelligence have come to pass. She's

18:19

secretly been trying to create a robo-cop that

18:21

she can bend to her will. I

18:24

want you to cancel the march, Rolybot. I

18:27

will not cancel the march. I

18:29

have no grounds to. Do as I

18:32

say, Rolybot. Cancel the march. Why don't

18:34

you cancel the march yourself? Wait,

18:36

you can't, can you? You're against cancel culture.

18:38

Ha ha ha! And

18:43

finally, not strictly an anniversary but

18:45

a notable achievement, British women have

18:47

topped the OECD's list of the

18:50

world's biggest female binge drinkers. Yes,

18:52

get in! Woo hoo! Here's

18:55

the 26% of women who have more

18:57

than six drinks in a single session

19:00

at least once a month are identified

19:02

as binge drinkers. Ah, yes, and the

19:04

45% of British men who do the

19:07

same thing identify themselves as bloody legends!

19:17

So, here to talk us through all

19:19

things fast fashion, please welcome Desiree Birch.

19:24

This week BBC Panorama released

19:27

an expose about broken promises

19:29

and exploitation in the garment

19:31

industry. The program went undercover

19:33

at Boohoo, which is an online

19:35

fashion retailer and not just something

19:38

Suella Brawerman sneers when she hears

19:40

an orphanage's burn down. This

19:43

scandal comes after Channel 4's dispatches

19:45

uncovered in 2017 that Boohoo's UK

19:49

factory workers earn less than minimum

19:51

wage in unsafe working conditions, leading

19:53

them to promise to overhaul their

19:56

practices. So, let me get this

19:58

straight. Boohoo, guys! caught

20:00

on an undercover TV show, reneging

20:02

on a promise they made after

20:05

getting caught on an undercover TV

20:07

show. I mean, it kind of

20:09

feels like getting caught cheating on your girlfriend by

20:11

your wife. It's

20:14

both reassuring that manufacturing jobs are

20:16

staying in the UK and horrific

20:18

that these practices are happening right

20:21

underneath our noses. We like to

20:23

think of sweatshops in faraway places,

20:25

China, India, Vietnam, not Leicester. The

20:28

only person who deserved to be held for too long in

20:30

Leicester is Richard III. At

20:33

least he got a good parking spot, you know?

20:37

All of this and more have brought

20:39

fast fashion back into the public gaze,

20:41

and that gaze is pointed directly at

20:43

the floor of a Primark, because that

20:45

is where they keep their clothes. Fast

20:49

fashion is clothing produced at high

20:51

volumes and low prices that moves quickly

20:53

from design to retail, generally to the

20:55

detriment of garment workers and the environment.

20:57

These are the brands that you know

20:59

and love. Basically, if you bought

21:01

it at a shopping center and not from a

21:03

sentient pile of granola who macramated on

21:06

Etsy, it's probably fast fashion.

21:10

And look, I am not standing here to

21:12

point fingers at anyone. I am among

21:14

the guiltiest in this room of

21:16

consuming fast fashion. Fast

21:18

fashion is typically fast fashion. Fat

21:21

people just started getting clothes in the

21:23

80s, and most of them are aggressively

21:25

patterned to hide our bodies. Like, what's

21:27

with all the flowers, Evans? Who died?

21:30

My sex life? Perfect. I

21:33

still want my entire wardrobe to look

21:35

like the plastic-covered upholstery at my aunt's

21:37

house. Oh my God, this dress is so

21:39

cute. It's fire resistant and it has

21:41

cup holders in the arm. Getting

21:45

new clothes from an established retailer

21:47

with a history of quality and

21:49

realistic prices is increasingly no longer

21:51

an option. Boohoo alone

21:53

has purchased Karen Millen, Burton,

21:56

Dorothy Perkins, Wallace, Coast,

21:58

Oasis, and Devenus. That's

22:01

right. Devenoms. Do I

22:03

have your attention now, Radio 4? Devenoms.

22:07

The John Lewis were people who didn't

22:09

work hard enough in school. All

22:16

told, the fashion industry is responsible

22:18

for 10% of

22:21

all global emissions, more than

22:23

aviation and shipping combined. So

22:25

Greta Thunberg might want to

22:27

consider protesting at clothing stores

22:29

as well, although as a

22:31

20-year-old woman looking furious in

22:33

a Zara, she might be confused

22:35

for staff. Just

22:40

like we all have to wear clothes

22:42

since the alternative is socially and legally frowned

22:44

upon, we also all have to

22:47

live on this planet. So what are we going to

22:49

do about it, y'all? Look, as a child

22:51

of the 80s who had to learn over a bowl of

22:53

Cheerios that there's no such thing as safe sex,

22:55

only safer sex, I think we

22:57

might start adopting models of

23:00

less-desi shopping or lower

23:02

exploitation clothes. Like, when

23:04

you buy something, whether it's on the high street

23:06

or your laptop, consider how many different ways you

23:08

can use it. The average article

23:10

of clothing should last you around five

23:13

years or one Martin Scorsese

23:15

film. When

23:17

you've bought it, Google those hieroglyphics on

23:19

the label because nearly a third

23:21

of clothing is binned because of

23:24

washing and drying damage. And then

23:26

those clothes wind up in a

23:28

landfill releasing greenhouse gases as they

23:30

biodegrade. It turns out all those

23:32

farts that you hid inside of

23:34

them were both silent and deadly.

23:36

So just buy less, oh,

23:38

I'm sorry, I forgot it's radio

23:40

for. Just buy fewer. The average

23:42

Briton has 118 items in their

23:44

closet. And while I

23:46

get that

23:53

everyone is going to need to wear all those

23:55

outfits daily to get through this winter with the

23:57

cost of heating being as high as it is,

23:59

study These show that around 14 of

24:01

those items in your closet have never

24:03

been worn. So since you

24:06

already got the high from buying the

24:08

motorcycle jacket and imagining how bangable it

24:10

would make you seem to three women

24:12

who have already ghosted you, perhaps go

24:14

and donate it to some other man

24:16

who doesn't realize what he actually needs

24:18

is therapy. For

24:20

those people who hate people and the

24:23

outside, there are online secondhand apps

24:25

where you can find gorgeous outfits that

24:27

someone has photographed crumpled up on their

24:29

bedroom floor. It'll feel just like shopping

24:31

at Primark, I promise. Now,

24:40

I don't know whether you saw a survey

24:42

in Metro newspaper this week listed the top

24:45

50 nicknames in the UK. Big Man,

24:47

I think came top. So we have

24:49

asked our audience here for their favorite

24:51

nicknames and how those nicknames came about.

24:53

Do you know any people who go

24:55

by nicknames? Yeah, there's this guy who

24:57

still calls himself the Prime Minister. Do

25:02

any people you know go by

25:04

nicknames? Our five-a-side footy squad used

25:06

to be fish boy bash flash

25:08

sticky spud spaniel biddy and wait

25:10

for it, Keith. My

25:17

daughter gets called fedora by her

25:19

friends. Why? Her name is

25:21

Hattie. So,

25:26

yes, thank you very much, particularly to Big Man,

25:28

for showing us with us. And that

25:30

is almost it for this week. But first,

25:32

yet another musician, rapper Bad Bunny, was infuriated

25:34

this week after AI was used to replicate

25:37

his voice on the track. Let's

25:39

see how our very own musician feels about

25:41

the technology. Please welcome Huge David. So

25:47

I was speaking to this guy at a party last

25:49

week and he said, AI

25:51

is taking over and

25:53

only in a number of

25:56

years, whether it's tech, media,

25:58

education, finance, we all know. going

26:00

to be replaced. The AI will

26:02

take all of our jobs. They are

26:04

going to take all of

26:06

our jobs. And when I heard this I thought,

26:09

yeah right. Since

26:14

I've had a job I've wanted

26:17

to stop. When it comes

26:19

to work I'm kind of a snob. Everyone

26:22

complains about the job all

26:24

day. Now a robot's taking

26:27

all our work away. Yay!

26:29

An AI robot would be

26:31

better than me. A robot

26:34

doesn't need food, TV, or

26:36

sleep. It would take

26:38

my seconds, it would save a

26:40

lot. Not ticking that box,

26:42

asking if I'm a robot.

26:44

The AI's coming and I'm

26:46

kind of relieved. I've worked

26:49

to the phone, I can

26:51

barely breathe. But breathing isn't

26:53

something that you have to

26:55

do. If you're a program,

26:57

maybe bring on Q. Yes.

26:59

Why stop at robots taking

27:01

jobs from us? If they

27:03

can take our jobs, they

27:05

could take our stuff. Well

27:07

we wouldn't need stuff if

27:10

we lived outdoors. Because a robot

27:12

took my house, now I sleep in

27:14

the woods. And

27:16

I've always really wanted to sleep

27:19

under the stars whilst hiding from

27:21

a robot that I put in

27:23

my car. And it's all our

27:25

fault that we're going extinct. But

27:27

it saved us some time so

27:29

it was worth it. I think,

27:32

oh the AI's coming and I'm

27:34

kind of relieved. It's seen something

27:36

every time I pass preconceived.

27:39

People saying AI has taken my

27:42

job. Well if robots can replace

27:44

us, maybe it's time to stop.

27:47

Fighting for our freedom because we've

27:49

followed our dreams. It made us

27:52

very quiet and depressed. It seems

27:55

a robot doesn't dream. It just picks

27:57

up the flag. So

28:00

we've trimmed off the fat, and

28:03

in many, many years into the future

28:05

from now, A robot

28:07

will hear this while it's having

28:09

a browse, Thinking why did humans

28:12

spend their last years to live,

28:14

Knowing all of this whilst tuning

28:17

in, Always taking the

28:19

piss every week at

Greg Foote, and my podcast Slice Bread

29:09
