00:00What? What? There's a bad atmosphere in here. Because I'm tired. I had a bad night's sleep
00:11because somebody woke me up. I had an incident yesterday. I was putting a children's slide
00:17and swing set together. The screw wasn't long enough, so I took a swipe at a teddy bear
00:22and it made so hard on the floor that my hat came off. Anyway, in the middle of the night,
00:28I remembered that we have installed security cameras in our house. So then I was laughing
00:33because I was watching it. And I woke her up and she was not happy.
00:36Have you ever heard anyone take this long to tell you that they tripped over?
00:40In tonight's episode...
00:42John is forced to go to a neighbour's kids party. Can you at least look like you're enjoying
00:47yourself?
00:48Lucy invites a comedy legend over for dinner.
00:50You can't do ready meals for the Bedeels. You could do a quick dinner if we'd invited
00:53Frank Skinner.
00:54And Dave asked John to mind his language a bit.
00:57You'd have to cut down on the swearing.
00:58I can see the f***ing car.
01:00F***ing Nora.
01:01Morning f***er. Strapping again.
01:03Thank you, Richardson.
01:05Wow.
01:06Where are we looking? Which one?
01:08Cheese.
01:10Cheese.
01:12Last summer, England got to the Euros final. There were lots of comedians in the ground
01:16and even I was there. But thanks to Lucy, you wouldn't have seen me.
01:20At kick-off, my phone starts going mental. It's Lucy. I need your bank details because
01:27I'm ordering some garden furniture and my card's not working. I said, I'm at the f***ing
01:32game. Not like an hour before kick. I would have taken it in the tunnel. If I was having
01:36a wee, I would have taken it.
01:40Well done.
01:41At kick-off, the game is happening and I'm having to get my debit card out to read out
01:46the card details loud at Wembley. The security number is 423. 423. This is during the game.
01:55Have you got the Barclays app? 1407. Have you got the Barclays app? 1410. Yes, I've
02:00logged in. There's no message. 1417. Relentless. Message. Message. John. Now. Now. Sorry. Try
02:07now. 1423. Try now. 1424. Do it now. 1425. Mate, I'm at f***ing Wembley. 1426. The first
02:18half is nearly gone. Right there. Now. This minute. 1437. Please. 1642. Got Elsie a teddy.
02:27And then it arrived and it was the wrong colour.
02:29She sent it back. She sent it back.
02:33Our programme goes out on Dave at 10pm and today we've been asked to London by the Dave
02:37Commissioner, Ian Coyle.
02:39This is exciting, isn't it? I've never had this thing where you get called in before
02:42to be thanked. Because we are, it's one of the biggest shows on the channel, isn't it?
02:46Oh, I've seen that.
02:49Do you know what the last scene of me at the Richardsons is going to be?
02:52What?
02:53It's going to be me saying, I want a divorce. And you look out the window and say, oh, that's
02:58a big dog, wasn't it? And then it's going to go out the Sopranos. It's just going to
03:02cut to black.
03:03Dave told us our show is their biggest. So I was looking forward to being made a bit
03:07of a fuss off.
03:08Oh, look. Maycaster.
03:09Maycaster. Josh Whiddicombe. Presumably we're on these two.
03:14Oh, it's them again. Hello.
03:19Bloody Marie Celeste.
03:21Who's that?
03:22Hiya.
03:23Hello, Ian.
03:24Hey, come in.
03:25It's really lovely to see you. I love the show. I think it's great. How about we move
03:30it to nine o'clock?
03:33Seems like a vote of confidence.
03:34You'd have to cut down on the swearing.
03:36John swears too much.
03:37Move on, willy bollocks.
03:38If I hurt myself, he goes, oh, you silly cunt.
03:42Is that true?
03:43That's funny.
03:44Cunt face, he calls me.
03:45Don't call you that.
03:46Yes, you do. You're lying. Tell him the truth.
03:47It's funny. That's funny, isn't it?
03:48Night, you little fucker.
03:49It's funny.
03:51In my past relationships, I used to be called sweetheart.
03:54And those relationships ended because you didn't respect those men.
03:57Morning, boo-boo. Did you sleep well? Would you like a cup of herbal tea?
04:00Morning, fucker. Strapping again. It's the morning and daddy's still alive.
04:03Lucy has been having trouble with the local PTA.
04:06Oh, wow.
04:07Yeah, I just did it this morning.
04:08Let's have a look at yours.
04:09Are they just cooling down?
04:10Yeah, they're just cooling down.
04:11I'm not going to lie.
04:12I'm not going to lie.
04:13I'm not going to lie.
04:14I'm not going to lie.
04:15I'm not going to lie.
04:16I'm not going to lie.
04:17I'm not going to lie.
04:18I'm not going to lie.
04:19I'm not going to lie.
04:20They're just cooling down at the moment.
04:22She's desperate to fit in and impress the local posh mums.
04:26So, as you all know, our school is in desperate need of a new multimedia suite.
04:32So, what better way to raise funds than a raffle?
04:36So, if anyone's got something that they can donate that we can put on the prize table,
04:40please let me know and I will add you to the list.
04:43I need to impress the PTA with a really good raffle prize.
04:46I'm looking for something that John's to put in the raffle for the PTA.
04:50I have sold my cardigans in the past.
04:52I deliver them by hand as well.
04:53I think it freaks people out.
04:54I'm too tight to pay a courier, so I turn up at their house.
04:57Here you go.
04:58OK, well, see you later.
05:03Hello.
05:04John, you know how you're known for letters and numbers?
05:06The Countdown Kid?
05:07I'm the Countdown Kid.
05:11You're the what now?
05:14How about these bad boys?
05:15AC-12.
05:17Not Line of Duty.
05:18They're casting for a new detective character.
05:20Jed Mercurio's asked for you.
05:22Says he's a big fan of the Countdown Kid.
05:24Countdown Kid didn't know studio was going to be so hot.
05:29Are you getting a sweaty head?
05:30Countdown Kid might have a bit of a sweat problem.
05:33Jesus Christ, Mary and Joseph and a little bag for life.
05:38Please tell Jed Mercurio that John Richardson is interested in being in Britain's biggest drama
05:44and while you're at it, cancel my appearance on Channel 5's Celebrities Go Indoor Bowling.
05:51OK, speak to you later.
05:52This is Senior Investigating Officer John Richardson.
05:55Hello.
05:56Somebody been very naughty?
05:57What's he done?
05:58Ooh, what a naughty bugger.
06:00Mother of God.
06:03Jed Mercurio really likes the show.
06:06He said it was one of the funniest things he's ever seen.
06:08Is that what he said?
06:09Something like that.
06:10You know when chefs spend all day cooking Michelin-starred food
06:13and then they go home and have a pot noodle?
06:15That's what it's like, innit?
06:16Oh, no, that might be true.
06:18He's finally scripted one of the greatest dramas of all time
06:21and then when he gets home he just wants to sit in his underpants and watch some unscripted drivel.
06:25Oh, I never thought of it like that.
06:27Yeah, just absolute meaningless cack.
06:30I hope we don't influence him.
06:32Don't want to switch on the next series of Line of Duty
06:34and just see Vicky McClure sat on a couch getting knocked out by that little Scottish fella.
06:39Sanjeev Bhaskar in Unforgotten,
06:41David Jason in Frost,
06:43Ben Miller in Death in Paradise.
06:48Comedians turn into TV detectives just as they stop being able to make people laugh.
06:52You were asked to do Death in Paradise?
06:54I was, yes, after Ben Miller.
06:58You've got to be on set for like five months and it just...
07:01I'm not even allowed to go and watch the football.
07:03God knows how I'm going to be allowed to go to Trinidad and solve murders.
07:06Are you having that?
07:07Are you having that?
07:08I'm not allowed to watch football.
07:09He's watching football, it could be two, three times a week.
07:12He has two Zooms with his friends.
07:14One Zoom a week and it's been happening for two fucking years
07:17and you still can't remember it?
07:19Every Wednesday, are we watching telly tonight?
07:21No, I've got my Zoom.
07:22What Zoom?
07:23The one I've had every Wednesday for the last two years with the same people.
07:26Senior investigating officer John Richardson, he usually does traffic.
07:30Do you like a gritty kind of crime drama?
07:32I do, yeah.
07:33I like something where there's a snitch, depressed alcoholic, washed up cops.
07:37I sometimes pretend when I'm driving around that I'm like a sort of washed up cop.
07:41Catching a different class of criminal but still, 35 in a 30 is a crime. Chalk it up.
07:47I love Line of Duty.
07:48You've never seen it.
07:49I have.
07:50No, you haven't.
07:51I have.
07:52No, you haven't, you're lying.
07:53It's on Gogglebox every week, I don't need to watch the full thing.
07:55Ah.
07:56I know, they all say H and then there's a bomb goes off.
07:58Really...
07:59And a snitch gets blown up.
08:01I'm really struggling to be in his company today.
08:04We've all had this though, you know, they rowd all the time.
08:08They never get proper interviewers to do the interviews today.
08:11It's always some copper who can't really talk.
08:13Interview conducted at 12.23.
08:15Conducting the interview will be Michael Parkinson.
08:19Joining me tonight, one of Britain's most notorious bent coppers.
08:23Now, you've already recently blown up a warehouse in Salford.
08:27When did you first decide to go bent?
08:29I'd be good at it, I'd be kick-ass.
08:31Has anyone got the murder weapon?
08:33I had it.
08:36Oh, what coat was I wearing?
08:38That's what you'd be like.
08:39What people don't realise is how many crimes are solved by psychics.
08:44And good detectives always have a good psychic that they work with.
08:48What are you laughing at?
08:50What do you think he's laughing at?
08:51Google it, Google it.
08:53Why does nobody believe me?
08:54I will, I will.
08:55Yes.
08:56I fucking will.
08:57You wait, you wait.
08:58Gypsy Rose Lee is currently in talks with the Cumbria Constabulary.
09:03What I want to do, Eddie,
09:04because I really like the bridge and the killing,
09:06you know, that saga gnawing.
09:08I want to wear leather trousers and get out of a car
09:11and just walk through an industrial state.
09:13Why don't you do it in this?
09:18And do you think you should be in Line of Duty?
09:20You're the actress in the family.
09:21Yeah, I should be in Line of Duty.
09:22I've done the miles, I've tread the boards.
09:25I've been in one of the biggest-selling shows ever to be at Hull Truck,
09:28about a group of fishwives that go to the races.
09:30You're not going to get to be in Line of Duty because you were a fishwife?
09:33No, I've done all sorts.
09:34You haven't done all sorts?
09:35I've been there.
09:36You've been in plays set in Hull about fishwives?
09:38No, I haven't. I've performed in London.
09:40What were you?
09:41I was a post-war prostitute.
09:43Do you remember any of the lines from now?
09:44Not my face, not my face.
09:48That's what I said.
09:49What was that referring to?
09:50When he was going to hit me.
09:51Yeah, not what you think, smutty little rat.
09:55Whereabouts are we, Jim?
09:56We're at what is going to potentially be my new doctor.
10:00And the first time is always the worst time,
10:02because you've got to lie to them about how much alcohol you drink.
10:05You've got to lie to them about how much exercise.
10:07I haven't lied this much since I first took Lucy out.
10:09John Richardson?
10:10Oh, it is you.
10:11Oh, and you brought your career as well.
10:12Right, let's get you straight in.
10:13Yes, thank you.
10:14Come on, come on in, come on in.
10:15Not these, no, not these.
10:17Oh, no, no, no, no, absolutely, no.
10:18You should absolutely bring them in.
10:20It will be a really good thing.
10:21We can raise awareness for men's health.
10:23I don't know.
10:25It says here you have a topical hydrocortisone and promoxide cream
10:28for haemorrhoids on repeat prescription.
10:30How's that going?
10:33Still there.
10:35Very itchy.
10:36So there are certain things that you can do to help, you know, yourself.
10:42I think it's really important that men, you know, they get on board.
10:47I should do my own examination.
10:50Of my...?
10:51Of your anus.
10:53Do you have any other celebrities that are coming in?
10:55Oh, well, we do, but, you know, I couldn't possibly say.
10:58Michael Paul.
10:59Fucking Nora, sorry.
11:01You're so brave, you're so brave.
11:04As you are, you're a brave boy.
11:06You're a brave boy, aren't you?
11:09He's filmed me having a doctor,
11:12clearly auditioning for Embarrassing A&I
11:15or whatever Channel 4 are putting on next.
11:18I promise you this, Eddie,
11:19one day I'm going to watch you have someone put their finger up your arse.
11:24Be when you least expect it.
11:26When you're renewing your wedding vows,
11:28I'm going to get someone to run in and finger you
11:30and I'm going to film it and see how you like it.
11:32And that goes for all of you. I shall see all of you fingered.
11:35I met Dr Maxwell the next day at the PTA meeting,
11:38where I was going to impress them all by donating one of John's TV cardigans.
11:43Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the prize table.
11:48I'm absolutely blown away.
11:49Look, we've even got a little basket of preserves and a big basket of preserves.
11:53Give yourselves a pat on the back.
11:55Well done, all of you, because this is absolutely fantastic
11:58and I think that the raffle is going to go down a storm.
12:01You know, they've never had chunky chicken out of a tin.
12:04They've never gone to Wivensea and played bingo with a nana.
12:07We've become Emma and Damien here
12:09and they get together and talk about us and the things we've never had.
12:12Thank you so much, you've been so generous.
12:15We must ask if anyone else has something they can bring.
12:17Yes, yes.
12:18This is a pair of Lewis Hamilton sunglasses that I won at an auction,
12:23which I'm very generously giving up.
12:25Anybody else?
12:26You know me, darling.
12:27I couldn't go past Melbury without getting something from there.
12:30Oh, my goodness, this is surprisingly heavy.
12:32Thank you so much. Right, who's next?
12:34Anybody else?
12:36I'm a bit embarrassed because I brought one of John's old cardigans.
12:39I thought they'd be like, ooh, you know.
12:41No, there was all sorts of prizes in there.
12:44Champagne, spa dates, theatre tickets.
12:48They're not going to want this, I'm going to take it home.
12:51And wash it, it smells as well, to be honest.
13:00In part one, John got himself a new doctor.
13:03Fucking Nora!
13:04Lucy was struggling to impress the PTA mums.
13:07This is a pair of Lewis Hamilton sunglasses.
13:10No.
13:11And John can't control his potty mouth.
13:13You'd have to cut down on the swearing.
13:15Morning, fucker, strapping again.
13:17I'll give you a biscuit if you don't swear.
13:19I don't like biscuits, I haven't got a sweet tooth.
13:21This is another thing that really annoys me.
13:23In a relationship, you have rational things that annoy you,
13:25like being disturbed during an iconic football game to buy garden furniture.
13:29The irrational thing that you do, every time I get offered a pudding
13:32and I say I haven't really got a sweet tooth, you go, yes.
13:35You lie about me liking puddings and it drives me insane.
13:39You do, you always eat my puddings.
13:41I sure don't eat them, I don't like waste.
13:43It doesn't mean I'm happy, I'm crying eating that sticky toffee pudding,
13:46wishing it was crisps.
13:47I'd rather have a bag of chips than a trifle.
13:49Oh, he wouldn't. He loves puddings.
13:51You do!
13:53We've invited our old neighbours, Emma and Damien, over to see the house.
13:57It's the new park.
13:58Oh, wow!
13:59It's absolutely amazing.
14:01How have they been since the move?
14:02They've not taken it very well.
14:04They keep thinking we're going to move back.
14:05Everyone does, all the people from our old area think we're going to move back.
14:08And I tell you what, I wouldn't bet against it.
14:11We've got previous, haven't we, for moving house?
14:13Yeah.
14:14Elsie will say, oh, can I go back to the park I used to play in?
14:17And we'll just move near it before we realise that, actually,
14:20it was better where we were.
14:22And then we'll move again.
14:23I've got a proposal for you.
14:24I need someone to be my right-hand man on the road.
14:28For tax purposes, I'd probably put you down as a driver,
14:31but it's actually a more all-encompassing role than that.
14:33So you're going to pay me?
14:35I'll pay you some money, yeah. I'll pay you cash money.
14:37You're basically paying me to be your mate.
14:38Has it got to this?
14:39I think it's lovely.
14:40I think it's nice.
14:41It's like Brokeback Mountain, isn't it?
14:43We'll just go off in the wilderness together.
14:45Lovely.
14:46Oh, God, why does he say that?
14:48You'd think, well, we're on the A1 and it's late at night.
14:52This is why we are where we are.
14:54Let's just have a little kiss.
14:56This is where we are as a society.
14:57Two men cannot work together in the 21st century without their wives going,
15:01what, are you shagging her, are you bumming each other in the car?
15:03No, that's not true.
15:04I wish I knew how to quit you.
15:06Awesome.
15:07He can quit me.
15:08My God, he can ride.
15:11Brokeback Mountain, yeah.
15:12Bit different to Hebden Bridge, isn't it?
15:14There's not as many lesbians.
15:15I haven't finished my survey yet, so it's hard to tell.
15:18Oh, hello.
15:19I feel like we're coming to the ball.
15:21This is our neighbours, our new neighbours, Lizzie and Phil.
15:25Hello, Phil.
15:26We used to live next door to Emma and Damien in our old house,
15:29so they're just down Hebden Bridge.
15:31It was a bit of a shock for us all when John and Lucy decided to move on.
15:35Moving on, moving up.
15:37Pardon?
15:38Have you been on holiday? You both look really tan.
15:40We had a couple of weeks in Biritz.
15:42You go to Cleethorpes, don't you?
15:44Oh, we do, we love it there.
15:46Well, it's a bloody good do.
15:479.50 a night.
15:489.50 a night?
15:49No, £9.50 a night.
15:51We go in a caravan.
15:52Costa del Cleethorpes.
15:54Where have you just come back from? Biritz?
15:56Biritz.
15:57Where's that?
15:58France.
15:59Oh, right, right.
16:00Sounds like France.
16:01Very nice.
16:02It's a bit tetchy, but they are bloody stuck up.
16:06Tristan is having his birthday party tomorrow,
16:08and I know that he'd just love it if little Elsie would come along.
16:11Oh, that would be lovely.
16:13Yeah, there's going to be loads of lovely food.
16:15Chocolate fingers.
16:16She doesn't eat chocolate.
16:18Who doesn't eat chocolate?
16:19Elsie.
16:20Elsie doesn't eat chocolate?
16:21No, no, no, no, no.
16:22Sends her absolutely bloody hyper.
16:23Oh, so she does eat chocolate.
16:24That's us kids, isn't it?
16:25Best to keep her off the sugar.
16:27No, you just wind them up and let them go,
16:29and then they look after themselves.
16:31No, no, no, no, no.
16:32It was just dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
16:34They're different.
16:35Bloody Biritz.
16:36What's that?
16:37France.
16:38Now he's working for him,
16:39Damien's first job is to help John practice for his line of duty audition.
16:43How are you doing?
16:44You all right, pal?
16:45A bit fresh intel?
16:46No info at all.
16:47Keep your eyes peeled, yeah?
16:48Will do, will do, pal, yeah.
16:51Brilliant that, John.
16:52It's been brilliant.
16:53Well done.
16:54I'll be honest with you, I've never watched it.
16:56I know there's a woman in it, and I know there's a chap in it,
16:59and I know there's something to do with age.
17:06Interview with Damien Priestley on the subject of harmful activities.
17:11Do you remember where you were on the 24th of February?
17:13No comment.
17:14Do you recognise that child?
17:15No comment.
17:17I mean, I do, but...
17:18It's taught me that actors really are just quite simple people.
17:22The trick to being a good actor is to just be so simple
17:26that you think the thing is happening.
17:28You know, it's a lot like being a four-year-old.
17:31Really.
17:32Our agents have told us that a celebrity couple are ripping off our show.
17:36There is another celebrity couple filming a Meet the Richardsons.
17:39You're jerking.
17:40We wrongly accuse the tenants.
17:42Do you think that we're trying to steal this idea?
17:46What a cock!
17:47So the search continues.
17:49It's bonded us together to fight evil.
17:51Slash Marcus Brickstock and Rachel Parris.
17:54I got a text message off somebody famous.
17:56Look at that little face. You love it, don't you?
17:58If I said,
17:59three lines on a shirt, jewels remain still gleaming.
18:0230 years of hair.
18:03Yes.
18:04Never stop believing.
18:06No.
18:07Don't stop believing.
18:08It's Baddiel or Skinner, which one?
18:10Baddiel.
18:11Is it?
18:12Yeah. He said,
18:13we would love to meet the Richardsons and hear more about your Dave show.
18:17Oh!
18:19Cheeky little sausage.
18:21I have got this sneaky suspicion
18:23that David Baddiel and his wife Moena Banks
18:26might be our copycat couple.
18:28So what I thought I could do is invite them round for dinner
18:31with me and John and see as well
18:33if he could give me a free signed copy of Another Three Lions
18:37because I think that will actually fetch more money at the PTA raffle
18:41than one of John's, like, weird, dodgy cardigans.
18:44Would you just be as blatant as,
18:46can I come round and rip your show off you?
18:48Yeah.
18:49You don't like people coming round?
18:50Yeah, I'm glad when people don't come.
18:52Yeah, the thing is, John...
18:53Cos you've usually arranged it.
18:54..when people do come round, they can tell you wish they weren't there.
18:57My friend came round at the weekend and he was talking to him.
19:00I went to tell you that. I came back down
19:02and they were just at the table on their phones texting
19:05and John has moved to in front of the TV
19:07and he's just watching the TV on his own.
19:09Reel it in. Here's what happened.
19:12The only reason they stayed late, Eddie,
19:14is cos they were going to the big party in the park
19:16around the corner from our house.
19:18You guys go to the party, I'll tidy up our mess
19:21and your friend's mess and their kids
19:23and all the food and the chaos that ensued.
19:25I'll do all that.
19:26They get back ten minutes later, the party's next weekend.
19:28I got the date wrong.
19:30So now we're all, kids crying.
19:32I thought we were going to a party!
19:35And what does he do? Puts Leeds United on.
19:38Leeds!
19:39Yeah, you could have recorded it.
19:41Record football.
19:42Before the bidealers come over,
19:44it's time for Tristan's fifth birthday party.
19:46John was really happy about it.
19:48Can you at least look like you're enjoying yourself?
19:51There you are. Hello.
19:53Hello.
19:54Phil, you didn't really get to meet him yesterday, did you?
19:57No, no, we didn't.
19:58What's Jimmy Carr like?
20:00Um, rich.
20:01You can't take it with you, though, can you?
20:03No, that's true.
20:04I mean, this lot, you know, four grand and a kids party.
20:07Four grand.
20:08If you've had four grand spent on your fifth birthday party,
20:11what's it going to be when he's, like, 18?
20:13You'll have to buy him an island.
20:15I'm going to buy him a car.
20:16He'll have a car when he's seven.
20:18You could get a car for four grand.
20:20You could get a very good second hand.
20:22Could have had a little day in my tiz for the sake of that party yesterday.
20:25Take the wrapper off.
20:27Oh, well done, India.
20:29You've won a weekend to spa.
20:31Fabulous.
20:32Fucking spa weekend. What's she going to have, a fizzy...?
20:35You all right, John? Yeah, you?
20:36Do you want a top-up?
20:37Yes, I would love one. Thank you very much.
20:39Oh, thanks.
20:40Thank you very much. Cheers.
20:42Thank you.
20:43Ouch.
20:47Oh, nice-looking girl, though.
20:49Yes.
20:50It's my type. And Liz's.
20:53Um, have you seen Lucy, who's in here?
20:56Yeah, I think she's, yeah.
20:57Yeah. Lucy?
20:58That was very awkward.
21:00And it wasn't even the worst bit.
21:04You know he's a patient?
21:05Is he? Uh-huh.
21:06Did you know that he has absolutely terrible piles?
21:12Does he?
21:13He's stuck up there to get that problem.
21:16The worst.
21:17Piles.
21:19Piles.
21:20It's one of the worst cases I've ever seen.
21:22It's horrible.
21:23Piles.
21:24I'm going to get her struck off.
21:26Ludicrous.
21:27Just cos you're in a posh area, you think you can...
21:29I think they think the rules don't apply to them.
21:31So I don't know who I write to.
21:33Dr Hillary, I guess, off telly, is it?
21:35Someone like that.
21:36There must be a famous doctor who's like the king of the doctors.
21:39Like a Dumbledore, who I write to.
21:41So she's telling everyone I've got piles.
21:43I haven't got big piles.
21:44It's not a problem anymore. I sleep well now, don't I?
21:46They make him itch. He's itching.
21:48They're very itchy.
21:49It's horrible. It's a real turn-off.
21:51He's just scratching his bum all the time.
21:53The sound of it.
21:54In the middle of the night.
21:56Oh, fucking hell.
21:58It was a good party, though.
21:59And now we're going to have to throw our own
22:01because the Baddeels are coming round for dinner.
22:03Lizzie and Phil's canapés were, like, really, really good.
22:06I think I'm going to have to up my game for the Baddeels.
22:09Shall I take one of these?
22:11Don't.
22:13What? It's a good height for me.
22:15Even that is too small for you.
22:17The flag means I can't lose you, though.
22:20That's quite useful.
22:21Is it fun shopping with John, Lucy?
22:23No, it's horrific.
22:24You can't do ready meals for the Baddeels.
22:26I mean, sure, you could do a quick dinner if we'd invited Frank Skinner.
22:29You can't invite people round to your house
22:31and them hear the ding of the microwave, can you?
22:34No, I...
22:35Thank you so much for coming all the way to Leeds to meet us for dinner.
22:38Ding! Oh, your tea's ready.
22:40I've got an idea for the dinner party, so that's sorted.
22:43He takes the joy out of food shopping, Eddie,
22:46because he doesn't eat anything that tastes of anything,
22:49so what can you do?
22:51And I don't want to eat meat or fish or cheese.
22:54I really don't.
22:55And when I'm with John, I don't eat it.
22:57And when I'm away, instead of having an affair, I have a steak.
23:00Hello, hi. Can I order the steak, please?
23:03Just show it the pan, like it was in the field.
23:06Never have we had someone round for dinner
23:08who has written a song that has gone to number one three times.
23:13Rule and gift.
23:14Which fine young cannibal's song has gone to number one,
23:17then drifted away, then come back to number one, same song,
23:20then gone away, then come back to number one again?
23:23She Drives Me Crazy.
23:24She Drives Me Crazy.
23:28Yeah.
23:29Well, this is the second person coming round for dinner
23:32who's had a number one three times with the same song.
23:36I thought about cooking. It's a gamble.
23:39I've just had an absolute fortune for a vegan takeaway.
23:42I'm just going to heat it up and that's going to be for the Badeels
23:45and when they come in, I just don't have to be flustered.
23:48So what's important is that,
23:50just make sure they know that I've made them from scratch.
23:53No, it's fine to have people round and cook food and it be a bit shit.
23:57It's also fine to have people around and say,
23:59I thought if we cooked it'd be a bit shit, so we just got takeaway.
24:02It's not fine to get takeaway and say, I've cooked.
24:05The key to lying is not believing that you've lied,
24:08it's believing that it's the truth.
24:10Did you make that? I made it all.
24:12You made all of this? And the wine.
24:14You didn't make the falafels, they're too round.
24:16I made everything that you can eat.
24:18And when are they coming? Cos you've timed it wrong.
24:20When did you tell them to come? I mean, they're late.
24:22They should be here soon. Have you got the day wrong?
24:25Do you think I'd spend 200 quid on a takeaway if I got the day wrong?
24:28Yes. There's clearly some sort of mistake, isn't there?
24:31Because we are here and they are not.
24:34We're just near closure.
24:36I need someone to say they're not coming
24:38and then I can drink the wine that is here.
24:40Is the venue wrong?
24:42No. They know where we live.
24:44They were coming to the area anyway, I've told you.
24:46They've got family...
24:48DOORBELL RINGS
24:50See? OK.
24:52What's the little word you have to say?
24:55Pee-pee. You fuckhead.
24:57Poo-poo. Can you please say sorry?
24:59That's what's going to split us up, you know.
25:01He's not saying sorry when he's done something wrong.
25:03I'm coming. I can't bear it.
25:05I am victorious.
25:07Can you say those five little words?
25:09I wish we weren't married.
25:12You can't say it, can you?
25:14I was quick, that one. I got to married, I was out.
25:17Hello. Oh. Passport for you.
25:19Hello. Sorry.
25:21Thought you were David Baddiel.
25:23It's not them, it's just a package.
25:25I haven't ordered anything.
25:27When can I start eating?
25:29You can't start eating. It's rude, isn't it?
25:31They're not coming. They might just be late, John.
25:35Oh, Baddiel and Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.
25:38Holy shit.
25:39Thank you for the invite, Lucy.
25:41And here's a signed copy of Three Lions you asked for.
25:43We're looking forward to dinner, but I was with David Tennant yesterday
25:46and he told me about your recent evening together.
25:49Do you think that we're trying to steal this idea?
25:54What a cock! Oh, my God.
25:56We're not planning on stealing your format either.
25:58They're not coming? No, they're not coming.
26:00Right, so now we can eat and I can get bollocksed and they're not coming
26:03and you've got me a signed Three Lions.
26:05I'm going to have more dinner parties.
26:07I'm going to invite more people who I know are not going to come
26:09but might send me some merch.
26:10If you're watching and you don't like me,
26:12don't come round but send me some of it.
26:14What a day. Wonderful.
26:16He was really, really happy with that Three Lions.
26:19It's not for him, it's for the PTA.
26:21I know what she's trying to do, she's got to put it in that raffle.
26:24I'm not going to let her.
26:25It had been a perfect day and things were about to get better.
26:28It turns out our posh neighbours aren't the pillars of the community
26:31that they seem to be.
26:36Shut up!
26:37Fucking hell, are they doing?
26:39Don't wake up, man!
26:40Come on, it's only early!
26:41We've got bubbles! Bubbles in the bubbles!
26:44And swimming costumes!
26:46Come on, we don't have to keep going.
26:48What the fuck are they doing?
26:50All right, come with me.
26:52Lucy!
26:54Look, look, look, look, look.
26:56John!
26:57Look what we've got outside.
27:00Sex badgers.
27:01What?
27:02Look, on the drive.
27:03Wake up, John!
27:04Lucy, I love you!
27:07Oh, my God!
27:09If it was foxes, I'd spray water at them.
27:12Next time on Meet the Richardsons,
27:14Lizzie and Phil say sorry for their drunken behaviour.
27:17We've got to get our hands off the pot here.
27:19If you're the neighbours...
27:20I didn't think you'd be up this morning.
27:22John gets outwitted by a pet hamster.
27:24Oh, you silly bastard!
27:26Shit.
27:28And we discover the comedian who is trying to steal our show.
27:32You and Hannah?
27:33Yeah.
27:34For telly?
27:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:36I'll be here at the wedding breakfast,
27:39I'll be long for dinner.
27:41So help me, hot toast and risky jokes,
27:45I love you very much.
27:48So help me, I'll force a laugh
27:51For the flicking photographs, so have no fear.
27:54I won't turn tail,
27:56I won't run amuck
27:58When the females chuck confetti in my ears.
28:02And cross my heart, love, I'll keep up the pace.
