00:00This is a show where we reveal some of the most bizarre and brilliant facts you've ever heard.
00:25Each of tonight's guests have brought along their own favourite fact, which we will be putting to the test to decide who's his best.
00:30So before we hear the facts, let's see who's joining me tonight.
00:33Well, a fact about my first guest is that during his performance as an Ewok in Return of the Jedi, he says he copied his movements from his pet dog.
00:40Luckily, the bits where he urinated up a tree and humped Luke Skywalker's leg were cut out.
00:44Please welcome Warwick Davis.
00:49An interesting fact about my second guest is she says she's a die-hard Dundee United supporter,
00:55which I think means she likes to watch them play from the top of the Nakatomi building whilst wearing a white vest and single-handedly fighting off international terrorists.
01:01Please welcome Lorraine Kelly.
01:03And a fact about my final guest is before becoming a comedian, and this is true, he wrote for Dora the Explorer magazine.
01:16To look at him, would you think he could write as though he's a seven-year-old girl?
01:20Yes, she would.
01:21Please welcome Josh Winnicombe.
01:27Okay, let's get on with the show.
01:29All of tonight's guests have brought in a fact that they really love, but who's his best?
01:32It's time for round one, Fact Off.
01:37Josh, you're up first. What's your fact?
01:39Okay, it's very dear to my heart.
01:41The smell of sweat makes a man more attractive.
01:46Oh, no. No, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
01:50Oh, that's it. Lorraine Kelly, science.
01:52Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
01:55No. End of experiment.
01:56I'll be honest, my chat-up lines have gone better than this.
01:59You're like a Scottish version of the Churchill dog. That was great.
02:02No, no, no, no, no. Boy, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:05No, I like a boy to be clean.
02:07I like a clean boy and a fresh-smelling boy.
02:10Can we get a boy for Lorraine?
02:13Could you get me a boy, please?
02:15I don't like boys to smell of sweat. No, I don't like that.
02:18I think you're wrong, Lorraine.
02:19Do you?
02:20Are you saying it's more out of scientific fact or hope?
02:23It's slightly out of hope. I will admit I'm a sweaty individual.
02:26You're very fragrant-looking now.
02:29It's early on in the show.
02:30You're far away from me. Lorraine would differ.
02:34My first ever Edinburgh show,
02:36I think that's the height I've ever reached as a sweaty man.
02:40I brought a photo of what I looked like when I finished my first Edinburgh show.
02:47That's what, like one hour on stage?
02:49About 50 minutes, yeah.
02:52I'm not a reviewer.
02:56It felt like three.
02:58There are different sorts of sweat, OK?
03:00The sweatiness that you get when you're on stage...
03:03You? Just a you?
03:05That's not only the lights, it's the stress sweat.
03:08The smell of fear.
03:09There's a stress sweat, and that's not attractive to anyone.
03:11Are you saying that I'm quite stressful?
03:13Well, I think you would be on stage trying to be funny.
03:15So are we saying...
03:16Whereas Lee, because he's funny, he doesn't get a stress sweat.
03:19Is that what you're saying?
03:20No, I'm just richer and I can afford permanent air conditioning.
03:23I have a man... Well, I actually have a young, clean boy do it.
03:26You just hold it.
03:28Does it not depend on how long you stay sweaty for?
03:31I mean, if we're talking instant sweatiness,
03:33but if you just didn't wash yourself, that's when I draw the line.
03:37Is that... Yeah, but it's the natural sweat that I...
03:40Well, we, as a people produced,
03:42that kind of produces the kind of things that you like.
03:46Josh, I'll tell you what it is.
03:48Not doing it for me long enough.
03:50It's nature's perfume, really. That's what it is.
03:52We cover it up with all these nice smells,
03:54what we think are nice, but underlying,
03:57we are communicating with your subconscious our sweatiness.
04:00Oh, OK. Yes.
04:01You're saying that it's something that we're not aware of.
04:03Yeah, they're the things you're not aware of
04:05and they're the things that waft into you and you go, ooh.
04:08Yeah, but it's when you get aware of sweat...
04:10To be fair, are you using this chat-up line all the time like me?
04:12Are you going, no, no, no, no, no, love, you don't think I'm attractive,
04:15but subconsciously you do.
04:17It's wafting towards you.
04:19But, you see, what I don't doubt about this fact is
04:21if it is true that you're more attractive,
04:23then, you know, in the 1980s, I should have been fighting the girls off
04:26because I used to always have a sweatband round my head,
04:28little sweatbands on my wrist.
04:30I did combine it with, you know, tight denim jeans and a light perm,
04:33which might have been the thing.
04:35Not that I'm dissing light perms, Josh.
04:37That's natural.
04:39This is totally natural. I'm joking.
04:41That's not light.
04:43Now, you've heard what this lot thinks,
04:45but there's only one way to find out for sure.
04:47Let's take a look at our sweat test.
04:52Forget about aftershave.
04:54It turns out the smell of a man's armpits
04:57can make him irresistible to women.
05:01Made exclusively from 100% men's sweat.
05:05This is going to need some serious explaining.
05:09This is all to do with pheromones.
05:12Pheromones are chemicals,
05:14and they trigger the physiological, emotional and social responses
05:19of individuals in the same species.
05:22They've evolved over millennia
05:24and form part of nature's mating game.
05:27Now, research has shown that a higher level of male pheromones
05:31can enhance female perceptions of the male's attractiveness.
05:36Now, pheromones are released in sweat,
05:39and the closer the proximity of the male and the female,
05:42the stronger will be their effect.
05:46Sounds great.
05:48To test the theory, we got five average-looking men
05:52and asked them to stick to some strict rules.
05:56They slept in the same T-shirt for three nights.
06:00They could only shower with unperfumed soap,
06:03and no deodorants.
06:06We also banned smoking, alcohol,
06:09and highly spiced foods like curry.
06:13Sweat and pheromones were at their peak.
06:16They smelt 100% man.
06:19We then asked a group of women to rate the men's attractiveness.
06:23All the women knew was that this was a test to measure the men's appeal.
06:28They were not told it was about sweat and pheromones.
06:32And this is how the women rated the men on average.
06:36Not bad, but in order to be certain,
06:39we have to test how attractive the men will be
06:42if they're freshly washed and in clean clothes.
06:45The theory says it should make them less desirable to the women.
06:51The men hit the showers.
07:02Each man gets a brand-new shirt,
07:05and a new group of women is asked to rate the clean men.
07:09What effect would a shower and a clean shirt have?
07:13Well, as the science predicted,
07:16every single man was rated less attractive,
07:19and in one case, their score dropped by more than 20%.
07:24So, next time you're going out, forget the shower.
07:28The smell of a man's sweat makes him more attractive.
07:36This could have big repercussions for me,
07:38cos I've invested my whole pension fund into Lynx Africa.
07:41So, what do we think?
07:43Well, I was going to say, I've spent quite a lot of my life
07:46being sweaty in costumes and things, you know, Ewok costumes.
07:49Oh, yeah, you were an Ewok, so that must have been awful.
07:52And, you know, look where I am today.
07:54So, sweaty is not a bad thing.
07:56And you see all these fans at conventions, don't you,
07:59dressed up as Chewbaccas and things, and they're sweaty.
08:02I'll tell you what, those fans at conventions,
08:04they've got the girls, don't they?
08:06You see, I know this isn't a good time to bring it up,
08:08but you do know that everyone in the industry behind your back
08:10calls you Stinky Warwick David.
08:12Thankfully, every week, we are joined by our resident experts
08:14who can tell us a little bit more about this fact.
08:16So, please welcome specialist in cell biology and genetics,
08:19Dr Emily Grossman, rocket scientist Dr Simon Foster,
08:21and expert in space and mechanical engineering,
08:23Dr Maggie Adairin-Pocock, otherwise known as The Verifiers.
08:28I mean, be honest, Verifiers,
08:30was this just discovered by a sweaty male scientist?
08:33I can't vouch for the average sweaty male scientist, but hold it.
08:37Not bad. OK.
08:41First of all, a word of warning about that video.
08:43Lorraine, as you were saying,
08:45it's fresh sweat that can increase attractiveness.
08:48If you leave it hanging around for a while, it tends to oxidise,
08:51and then it's attracting new one, just to be clear about that.
08:54Now, women release pheromones too,
08:56and they have an attractiveness as well.
08:59So, it works both ways.
09:01Also, pheromones are seen as very potent,
09:04and they're used by the cosmetics industry.
09:06So, this is big business, but they only put tiny amounts
09:08because they are so potent.
09:10But these days, you can actually go online and buy pheromones yourself
09:13for sexual attractiveness, for being more powerful.
09:16And this is a growing industry now,
09:18so you can actually buy your own pheromones.
09:20So, where are the pheromones coming from, from other human beings?
09:22Well, you can make them synthetically, or you can actually,
09:24well, probably, glean them from other creatures as well,
09:26because sometimes there's some overlap.
09:28But... What other creatures?
09:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are these creatures?
09:32Because I've got a cat, can I just rub its bum on me now?
09:35Lee, you can try it.
09:37I have tried, it's not getting me anywhere.
09:39But the thing is, they are so incredibly potent,
09:41you have to use them with care. OK.
09:43So, that was Josh's facts, but how good was it?
09:45That's down to our audience here tonight.
09:47So, using your keypads, on a scale of one to ten,
09:49how impressed were you?
09:53OK, so let's find out what the average rating was from our audience.
09:58Four?!
10:00I think that's one of the lowest scores we've had.
10:02Unbelievable!
10:04That is pretty bad.
10:06Yeah, what's the problem?
10:08Well, let's find out what the problem is, because with my technology,
10:10I can find out exactly who gave you a low score.
10:12Right, good. Jojo Sandy.
10:14Jojo, why did you give him a one?
10:16Well, it's kind of like, I agree with Lorraine,
10:18you just don't want to smell it or taste it, do you?
10:20Taste it?! I wasn't tasting it!
10:22No-one mentioned tasting it!
10:24The fact wasn't, make a woman drink a cup of your sweat
10:26and she'll be yours.
10:28I wasn't thinking of drinking it, but you know...
10:30I don't know what you get up to, Jojo Sandy.
10:32Can I just say, there's a man next to you,
10:34he's obviously your partner, right,
10:36and he's leaning a long way from you like you're the sweaty one.
10:38Why are you leaning so much, mate?
10:40He's just draining some sweat into a cup for her.
10:44Is he a sweaty one?
10:46He's terrible, yeah.
10:48So you find him repulsive?
10:50No, I love him, he's brilliant.
10:54We've heard Joshie's favourite fat,
10:56but join us after the break when Lorraine will try and win us over with hers.
11:06Welcome back to Duck, Quack, Stone, Echo,
11:08the show that puts extraordinary fats to the test.
11:10Still with me are Josh Widdicombe, Lorraine Kelly and Warwick Davis.
11:12Now, before the break, we saw Josh win four points,
11:14yes, four points,
11:16for his fact that the smell of sweat makes men more attractive.
11:18Lorraine, you're next.
11:20What fats have you gone for?
11:22Well, wearing stilettos, you know, girls,
11:24I particularly like to wear big high heels,
11:26and some boys like to wear big high heels as well.
11:28It exerts more pressure on the ground
11:30than you know those big road-laying tools
11:32like pneumatic drills and industrial rammers
11:34that you really smash into the ground,
11:36and it's a lot of pressure on the ground,
11:38and it's a lot of pressure on the ground.
11:40And sometimes like, you know,
11:42those big road-laying industrial rammers
11:44that you really smash the ground with,
11:46you know, dododododo,
11:48you see them with the beard defenders.
11:50Is this the longest fact in the world?
11:52Yes.
11:54And anyway, stilettos exert more pressure
11:56on the ground than those machines.
11:58Something about your voice, Warwick,
12:00I always expect you, Arpa, through a sentence to go,
12:02hang on there, darling, just be a little cup of tea
12:04and I'll tell you more about it.
12:06So we're saying that the heel of a stiletto
12:08But you know those ones, it's almost like a plate, it's not like it's got a pointy end, it's got a sort of flat end, and the guys really, really ram it really, really hard.
12:18Oh, I've seen them in the Ann Summers catalogue, yes.
12:20They come in all sizes, and it's to make the ground nice and flat.
12:24I've got a question then.
12:25Yes.
12:26I've seen people doing road works.
12:28Yes.
12:29Why aren't they just walking up and down in stilettos?
12:31Because they won't do it, the builders won't do it if they did.
12:33Oh, what, because the builders are too kind of embarrassed to do it?
12:37To wear big stiletto shoes, yes.
12:39But I think an army of girls wearing stilettos could do more damage to the ground than somebody with an industrial rammer smashing away.
12:46It would be a hell of an excuse, though, if you did see a bunch of builders from the council in our heels and going,
12:50what are you doing, lads?
12:51Just trying to get the job twice as quickly.
12:54Although the funniest bit about that joke is the idea of the council trying to do anything twice as quickly, I swear.
12:59So, the pressure of that, and this is not, we're not talking like a massive woman, necessarily.
13:04No, an army of women you don't really need.
13:07An army of women, could you imagine that?
13:09Imagine them invading.
13:11An army of women with their industrial rammers.
13:13Oh, my God.
13:15I tell you what, I'm sweating and it's not making me more attractive, Liz.
13:19So, what you're saying, when, sorry, if I wear high heels, am I exerting the same amount, increased pressure as well?
13:29Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
13:30It's to a tiny point, isn't it?
13:31It's to the tiny point.
13:32So, why don't we do this?
13:33Get a new, what's it called, an industrial rammer.
13:36Yes, get the rammer.
13:37And put that in a stiletto.
13:39Okay.
13:40And then that'll be the hardest impact in the world.
13:43Right.
13:44And also, you could call it your girlfriend.
13:46Make sure she doesn't stand on your foot.
13:49Take it off.
13:50Basically, no, stilettos can do untold damage to the ground.
13:54And lino floors.
13:56And lino floors.
13:57And it's a horrible thing, you know, sometimes when you get your stiletto stuck, you must have had this problem.
14:01Absolutely.
14:02And the paving stones, or the cobbles, and then you're still walking and it's behind, that's really sore.
14:06That is, that is.
14:07Why do you wear high heels?
14:08I mean, are you a heel wearer?
14:09Oh, yeah.
14:10You like a heel?
14:11Oh, yes, I do.
14:12I like a big heel.
14:13I hate that.
14:14Because I'm short.
14:15Right.
14:16And so I've already, you know, most of the women in the world aren't interested because I'm short.
14:20Once they're in high heels, I'm down to about 10% of my height.
14:24I mean, to be honest, I'm complaining here.
14:26Warwick's sat there.
14:29Some high heels are that high, I can walk through underneath them.
14:37I'll tell you what, Warwick.
14:38I so want to see that now.
14:40That sounds like you're defending yourself against a case of being a peeping Tom.
14:46Yeah, I didn't look up a skirt, she just walked over me.
14:49Your Honour.
14:51Okay, Lorraine, you obviously believe this fact is true, so you'll be able to prove it when we test it out.
14:55But before we do, let's see the science behind it.
14:58Pressure is measured by the amount of force you put on a given area.
15:03Things that weigh a lot put a great deal of pressure onto the ground.
15:07But large objects spread the pressure over a wider area.
15:13However, a smaller object applying less force can put more pressure onto the ground if it's working in a small area.
15:22To prove this, we're going to put a high heel shoe up against an industrial rammer.
15:26To see what happens when we use them on our very own pressure pad catwalk.
15:32If the science is correct, the small area of the high heel will put far more pressure on the catwalk.
15:40Okay, walk this way please, Lorraine.
15:42And can I say, that is a lovely pair of stilettos you are wearing.
15:46Thank you very much.
15:48And that's just for the tie?
15:49That was definitely for you.
15:51Okay, now, let's see if they can put more pressure on the ground than an industrial rammer.
15:56And please meet Billy, who's our builder.
15:58And I believe you operate these on the road, don't you, and do this all the time?
16:01Yes, I do.
16:02All I can say is it's nice for you to have even bothered turning up.
16:07Now, this won't take long. He said it'd take about three minutes, which probably means three months.
16:10But Tony over here is our analyser, and he'll be analysing the results from the pressure sensor over there.
16:16So Billy, please turn on the industrial rammer.
16:22Ooh, quite exciting, isn't it?
16:24Ooh, I like that.
16:27Right, so if you could just do that with your left leg.
16:31Now, Tony, can you just tell us what the pressure reading was for that?
16:347.01 pounds per square inch.
16:367.01.
16:38One person genuinely went, ooh, as if that meant anything to anyone.
16:42They'll just remember it's a seven we're looking to beat.
16:44Okay, Lorraine, if you'd like to walk to the end.
16:47And don't forget, this is a test.
16:50If you'd like to walk to the end.
16:51And don't forget, this only says something about your shoes, not about you.
16:55If it's a bigger reader, don't go, that's great.
16:57Heavier than an industrial rammer. I'll never work again.
17:00Okay, let's see if Lorraine's high heels can beat the rammer.
17:03If you could walk onto the pressure pad.
17:06This is the reason why in DIY SOS you never see Nick Noles from the waist down.
17:10He's always got those big high heels on. Lovely legs.
17:12Don't need to do anything, do you?
17:14Okay, now I think you're supposed to be very static for this.
17:16Tony wants you still.
17:17Okay.
17:18Let's see what pressure your high heels have exerted on the pad.
17:21Now just remind us again, the last reading from the machine was...
17:247.01 pounds per square inch.
17:267.01 to beat.
17:27What is the pressure?
17:29128 pounds per square inch.
17:31I told you! 128!
17:33So it's true, stilettos create greater pressure on the ground than an industrial rammer.
17:38Let's hear it for Billy and Tony!
17:42Walk this way, madam.
17:45Just don't tell him it's me.
17:49APPLAUSE
17:54So there we go.
17:56Wow.
17:57What do we think?
17:58Lorraine's just been weighed on television.
18:00It's a very roundabout way of calling Lorraine fat, wasn't it?
18:05But it's quite a difference, wasn't it, between the rammer hammer and the stiletto.
18:09A huge difference.
18:10It does make you think, actually, I wonder if you do...
18:12When you weigh yourself on the scales, if you were to go on your tiptoes, would you weigh more?
18:16Because there's more pressure on that point.
18:18No, hang on.
18:19Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:20Weight is different to pressure.
18:22It's a different thing altogether.
18:24Because I always weigh myself on a pogo stick, is that a mistake?
18:29OK, so we've tested Lorraine's fat, but let's find out how impressive our audience thinks it is.
18:33Time for you to all give it a mark out of ten.
18:35Please vote now.
18:41So, let's find out what the average rating was for your fat,
18:44and where that puts you on the leaderboard.
18:47Oh, a handsome seven.
18:49Not bad, not bad.
18:51I love Josh's reaction.
19:00I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
19:02Democracy does not work, Lee.
19:04It's almost like the audience prefer a woman in high heels than a sweaty man.
19:09So, somebody who liked that was Albert Huber.
19:12Hello, Albert.
19:13Hello.
19:14You were a big fan of that, weren't you?
19:15Was it just the general image of Lorraine in high heels, or...?
19:17Something to dream about.
19:22Security, get me security.
19:25Keep talking, Albert, so they can find you.
19:29I've been doing this show quite a while,
19:31and nobody's answered to anything there's ever been.
19:33Something to dream about.
19:35I'm just glad that you did that when you were Zen,
19:37because at least I can see your hands.
19:39I'm glad that wasn't his response to my fat.
19:42OK, last but not least, Warwick, it's your turn.
19:45Tell us your fact.
19:46OK, now, this is a fact I like to kind of pose to my friends
19:50when we're out having a drink.
19:51OK.
19:52A pint of beer takes longer to drink from a straight glass
19:56than it does from a curved glass.
20:00Yeah, it's interesting.
20:01If I lose to that, it's going to be unbelievable.
20:04OK, so your beer takes longer to drink in a straight glass than a curved glass.
20:07Why?
20:08I don't drink beer, so I wouldn't understand this.
20:10You're not a beer drinker.
20:11So what are you trying to drink pints of at speed?
20:13You could have a pint of... No, but you get that...
20:15Let's get that pint of milk down me, so I can move on to the second one.
20:19What do you drink, Warwick?
20:21Just shorts.
20:22Don't you remember?
20:24It's almost like we're the answer.
20:28I'm not going to lie, I thought, if he doesn't say, I am.
20:32So, what about you, Josh, just the Tizer, or are you on adult drinks now?
20:37It's needless, mate.
20:39I enjoy drinking, so this is great news.
20:41It's almost like you don't...
20:42No, because it's the same amount of liquid, isn't it, love?
20:44It's the same, it's a pint, it's a pint, isn't it?
20:46And it doesn't matter.
20:47You never have sounded more Glaswegian in your life.
20:50A pint is a pint.
20:51Are you a pint drinker?
20:52No, I don't drink pints of beer.
20:54No, what do you drink, pints of wine?
20:57Do you want a drink, do you want a pint?
20:58Oh, no, I'm a lady, get me a pint of whiskey.
21:01I probably do, but not in a pint glass.
21:03I drink it in a big wine glass.
21:05How big's this wine glass?
21:06Quite big.
21:07Is it like one of those ones you get at the novelty shop,
21:08that old four bottles of wine?
21:10It's about the size of Warwick.
21:14OK, you've heard what we think,
21:15but join us after the break when we put this to the test.
21:26Welcome back to Duck, Quack, Stone, Echo,
21:27the show that brings you brilliant and bizarre facts
21:29that you've probably never heard of.
21:31Before the break, Warwick told us that a pint of beer
21:33takes longer to drink from a straight glass than a curved glass.
21:35We need to know for sure, so we put it to the test.
21:43It's the secret pub landlords never wanted you to find out.
21:47A pint of beer will take longer to drink from a straight glass
21:51than a curved glass.
21:54With our research into social drinking,
21:56we found that participants took longer to drink
21:58the same amount of alcohol from a straight glass
22:00compared to a curved glass.
22:02And we believe that's because the shape of the curved glass
22:05distorts our perceptual judgment of volume,
22:07making the glass look more full than it actually is.
22:10This will make drinkers underestimate how much they've drunk
22:13and thereby compensate with an increase in consumption rate.
22:17So, that's the science. Let's put it to the test.
22:23We sent our researcher down the pub to ask people to take part
22:27in an experiment about perceptual judgment.
22:32The response was less than positive,
22:34until we mentioned the words,
22:36free beer.
22:41We divided our drinkers into two separate rooms,
22:44group A and group B.
22:46For the first test, we served group A beer in curved glasses
22:51and group B in straight glasses.
22:55It was a social drinking exercise and not about downing pints.
22:59No one knew what the experiment was for
23:02and each group was timed and an average calculated.
23:14So, the question is, what effect would drinking
23:17from different shaped glasses have on the two groups?
23:21Well, group A with the curved glasses
23:24took on average 16 minutes and 33 seconds to finish.
23:29And group B with the straight glasses,
23:31an astonishing 21 minutes, 42 seconds.
23:35A massive increase of 31%.
23:40But could it be that group A were just faster drinkers than group B?
23:47An hour later, we carried out the experiment again.
23:49This time, group A drank from a straight glass
23:53and group B drank from a curved glass.
23:56I like beer.
23:58It makes me a jolly good fellow.
24:01Now, if the science is correct,
24:03the drinkers from the straight glass
24:05should once more take significantly longer to finish their pints.
24:16Let's see how it stacks up.
24:19The curved glass drinkers took on average 18 minutes and 14 seconds.
24:25And now the all-important results for the straight glass drinkers.
24:29Yes, the science is correct.
24:32They took on average 24 minutes and 14 seconds.
24:37That's a staggering 33% more,
24:41proving conclusively that it takes longer to drink from a straight glass.
24:48So, if the government wants us to slow our alcohol intake,
24:52then expect pints to look like this in the future.
25:02There you go. So, what about that?
25:04I mean, obviously, swapping those glasses around
25:06wasn't the most hygienic thing we ever did,
25:08but next week we're doing a thing about coal sores,
25:10so it's going to come in handy.
25:11So, what do we think?
25:12I'm really surprised.
25:13It does beg the question, doesn't it,
25:15if that is a deliberate thing that the beer companies are doing
25:18to make us all drink more.
25:19Do you think it's deliberate?
25:20Well, why else would you...?
25:21I mean, think about the traditional-shaped pint glass,
25:23which is not a million miles away.
25:24It sort of goes out and then has a little sort of curve, doesn't it?
25:26Oh, yeah.
25:27It's a very odd-shaped glass, isn't it?
25:29It must be for a reason.
25:30I thought it was for grip.
25:31Yeah, I thought it was for grip.
25:32It's got this sliding, sliding all the way up.
25:34You don't want to drop it.
25:35Because the drunker you get, the more grip you need.
25:37Come on, they've just proved that people nowadays
25:39are drinking from straight glasses.
25:40How many times have you seen someone going,
25:42Cheers... Oh, it's gone again.
25:44I love the idea that they're pushing beer on us and they go,
25:47No, they're helping us with grip.
25:50So, that was Warwick's facts.
25:51Now our audience is going to score it.
25:52So, using your keypads on a scale from one to ten,
25:54how amazing do you think that fact is?
26:02OK, so let's find out what the average rating was from our audience.
26:07A pretty good seven.
26:14We've got Kirsten Wine, win.
26:16Is it wine or win, Kirsten?
26:17Win.
26:18OK, Kirsten, win.
26:19You gave it a one.
26:20Why was that?
26:21I've never drank a pint, so it doesn't mean anything to me.
26:24But you can still enjoy the fact.
26:28Ha! Is that how you judge information?
26:30Do you sit there watching Mastermind going,
26:32That doesn't help me. Rubbish.
26:33That doesn't help me. Rubbish.
26:35That doesn't help me. Rubbish.
26:36Blue! That helps me. Good.
26:40Unlike Chris Gray, who did like it.
26:43Where are you, Chris?
26:44Why did you like that so much?
26:45It just helps me when I go down the pub.
26:47I just asked for a curved glass,
26:48and that way I can get through more.
26:51You're a man after my own heart, Chris.
26:53I'm like your own fat.
26:54Shall we hit the pub?
26:55Not if you're sweating.
26:56Not if I'm sweating.
27:00Even then, having a go at you now.
27:04Unbelievable.
27:06OK, Lorraine...
27:08OK, Lorraine and Warwick are still in the lead,
27:10but there's still plenty of time for Josh to catch up in the next round.
27:13It's time for Fact Finder.
27:17Not only do we ask our guests to bring a fact to the show,
27:19we also ask our audience,
27:20and Warwick, Josh and Lorraine have each picked out the audience fact
27:22that they think is best.
27:23Lorraine, you're first.
27:24Whose fact have you picked?
27:25Well, I have picked Rebecca Byram's fact.
27:28Where are you, Rebecca Byram?
27:30Please, stand up.
27:32What is your fact?
27:34My fact is that you're born with 300 bones,
27:36but by the time you reach adulthood, you only have 206.
27:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:41You lose 94 bones.
27:43Spot the maths.
27:44You lose 94 bones in your lifetime?
27:47Where are they going?
27:49Have you got hungry dogs?
27:52I know that when you're born,
27:54a lot of bones are cartilage and they form,
27:56and some of them are split.
27:58Like, your skull is split so that you can come out of the womb.
28:01So it all comes together.
28:02Oh, so your skull's in many bits, I know that.
28:04And then it...
28:05It keeps going.
28:06Did you know when you die, you are one bone?
28:10Seriously?
28:11Yeah.
28:12Of course not!
28:13Of course not, Lorraine!
28:15You're a massive bone!
28:17Come on!
28:18Lorraine has just gone,
28:19is it rude?
28:20Or was it just me that thought that was rude?
28:22Oh, none of us thought that was rude.
28:24That was a really pleasant visual image joke
28:26that you had to turn into Scottish schmuck.
28:30I gained a bone in puberty.
28:32LAUGHTER
28:41So that's what we think of Lorraine's chosen audience fact,
28:44but we can't test it because we've only just heard it tonight,
28:46so it's over to our verifiers.
28:48Verifiers, what do we think of that?
28:50Well, as I've discovered with the imminent arrival of my first child...
28:53Oh!
28:54I've got to get that in there, sorry.
28:58Hang on, just to be clear, when he says imminent,
29:00he still has to find a girlfriend?
29:02It might be happening now, actually.
29:04But, yeah, this is 100% true.
29:06In the womb, lots of your bones haven't fused together yet
29:09to make birthing easier.
29:11A good example is the skull.
29:12You've got lots of plates there,
29:13so obviously to squeeze the head through the birth canal.
29:16And when it settles back down,
29:18after about two years,
29:19all those bones have started to fuse together.
29:21So, like, the four or five bones that are separate in a baby skull
29:24fuse together to make one.
29:25Hence the little hole at the top of the head.
29:27That's horrible, the hole, isn't it?
29:29I don't like the hole.
29:30I don't like the hole.
29:31I always think, what are you, a dolphin?
29:34See, I said to her, are you a dolphin?
29:36And literally, she looked at me, she went...
29:38And I thought, oh, it is a dolphin.
29:40OK, we'll score it at the end, once we've heard everyone's fact.
29:43You're next, Josh. Whose fact have you gone for?
29:45It's a good one. It's Donna Miles.
29:48Hi.
29:49Hi, Donna. What's your fact?
29:50Right, rabbit has two stomachs.
29:52A rabbit has two stomachs?
29:53It does.
29:54So, first of all, they do a poo like us.
29:56They then eat it...
29:58Like us?
29:59Yeah, well...
30:00And then it comes out like a pellet.
30:03That is a good fact.
30:04Well, just let me get the sick out of my throat.
30:07So, a rabbit has two stomachs.
30:09It eats, it poos out of one stomach.
30:12And then what does it do?
30:14It eats it.
30:15So, the poo comes out at the back?
30:16Yeah, as a great big long one.
30:18Then they eat that?
30:19Yep.
30:20And then it will come out as a pellet.
30:22So, does it go into the other stomach?
30:23It goes into the second stomach, yeah.
30:25It's to strip all the protein out.
30:27Who's deciding that when it's popping down the old tube?
30:29Is it going, hang on, we've got a poo here.
30:31Put it in that one.
30:33We've got some grass, stick it in that one.
30:36It's clever, isn't it?
30:38This is rubbish, I think.
30:39I've seen Watership down and no rabbit's doing that.
30:43There's a lot of bad stuff going on, but that's not happening.
30:46What are you talking about?
30:47I've had pet rabbits and surely one of us in this room tonight
30:50would have at some point gone,
30:51the rabbit's eating its own poo.
30:53And really been worried.
30:54They do it early in the morning.
30:55It's top secret.
30:56I've been known to get up and look at me rabbit.
30:58The moment they hear you get up, they go, get that poo down you.
31:00Quick.
31:01He's coming, get a special KO.
31:03Get the poo down, get it down.
31:04Get a special KO, he's coming.
31:06Oh, this, this, I'm very doubtful about this.
31:08I don't think that's true.
31:09We're not having this, are we?
31:10Time for our verifiers to give us their verdict.
31:12Well, disgusting as it sounds, it is actually true.
31:15Oh, come on.
31:16Bugs Bunny makes me sick now.
31:20What's up, Doc?
31:21You don't mind what's up with me, mate.
31:22You're eating your own poo.
31:24The reason for this is because rabbits are herbivores,
31:29which means they eat 100% a sort of vegetarian diet.
31:32They eat plant matter.
31:34I'm vegetarian, but I've never thought...
31:37Wow.
31:38I might as well tuck in for a second go.
31:41Some of the vegetarian food I've eaten, I probably would.
31:45So the problem is plant matter, raw plant matter,
31:48has very strong cell walls.
31:50It's made of something called cellulose.
31:52Now, rabbits ingest it, sort of chew it up, swallow it.
31:55Then the bacteria starts working and breaking it down.
31:58Then it comes out of the other end,
32:00and then they ingest it again,
32:02because the cell walls have started to be broken down now,
32:05so they can get a lot more nutrition out of it.
32:07So if you see your rabbit doing this, leave them be.
32:09They know what they're doing.
32:10And the thing is, if they don't do this,
32:12they will actually become malnourished,
32:13because they can't get enough nutrients
32:15out of just a one pass-through.
32:18Finally, Warwick, whose facts have you picked out?
32:21Lauren Leach.
32:22Lauren Leach.
32:23Hiya, Lauren.
32:24Hi.
32:25What's your fact?
32:26That fingerprints are formed by touching your mother's womb.
32:30What, just my mum's?
32:32Get your hands off my mum!
32:34So fingerprints are created by touching your mum's womb?
32:37Yeah.
32:38It's interesting, isn't it?
32:39I like that one, you see.
32:40Because if you were a baby and you were thinking,
32:42I'm going to be a criminal when I'm older...
32:44I'm not going to touch you.
32:45Hands off.
32:46Which is quite ironic for a criminal.
32:49Where did you hear this?
32:50I actually read it on a children's yoghurt pop.
32:55Definitely true.
32:56That's where I get off.
32:57The bleakest yoghurt anyone has ever had.
32:59Other phrases you don't want to hear from your gynaecologist.
33:02I think that's right.
33:03I read it off the side of a yoghurt pop.
33:07Verifies, please tell me.
33:08What actually happens is that while babies are developing in the womb,
33:11as their fingers are developing,
33:13through a combination of genetic facts and environmental facts,
33:16that helps to form the ridges.
33:17So what happens is as they touch structures on the inside of the womb,
33:21and also because of the pressure of the amniotic fluid,
33:24like pressing against their fingertips as they develop,
33:26they get what's called little friction ridges,
33:28and then these develop over time into a full fingerprint.
33:31And that happens by the time the foetus is six months old,
33:34so three months before birth.
33:35So that means that as the fingerprints develop over time,
33:38it will be totally random
33:39and no two babies will ever get the same fingerprint,
33:42even if they're identical twins.
33:43OK.
33:46So we've heard the facts,
33:47but how many points will our verifiers give them?
33:49Find out after the break.
33:58So before the break,
33:59each of our guests chose their favourite fact from the audience.
34:02We've found out whether each fact is true,
34:04but who will get the most points from our verifiers?
34:06Let's find out.
34:07Lorraine, please remind us of your chosen fact.
34:09Well, the chosen fact was you are born with 300 bones,
34:12but by the time you become an adult, you've only got 206.
34:16Verifiers, what are we going to score that?
34:18So, after some debate, we decided to give this nine.
34:22Nine?
34:28Josh, remind us of the fact you backed.
34:30A rabbit has two stomachs.
34:32Early in the morning, they do a human-like poo, which they eat.
34:35That goes then into the second stomach
34:37and comes out as the pellets we all know.
34:40Ah, OK. Verifiers?
34:42Well, I think this fact is rather disgusting, but it is true,
34:45so I'm going to give it eight points.
34:47Eight points? That's all right, that's a good eight.
34:50And finally, Warwick, which fact did you go for?
34:53It was Lorraine's fact,
34:55your fingerprints are formed by touching your mother's womb.
34:59Verifiers, what are we giving it?
35:01Well, it's pretty much true,
35:03but it's not fully understood how fingerprints are formed.
35:06There is also some genetic effect probably as well,
35:08but it is really, really cute, so I want to give it seven points.
35:11Aw, a cute seven.
35:15So, let's put all that up onto the leaderboard
35:17and see how it has affected the scores.
35:20In third place, it's Josh with 12 points,
35:22Warwick's on 14, but leading, it's Lorraine with 16.
35:27Hey, there is still time for the rest of you to catch up.
35:30We've all heard the guest facts and the audience have brought theirs,
35:33so now it's my turn. It's Max Facts.
35:36I've got some facts.
35:37All you have to do is guess what they are from a series of clues
35:40and you'll get points for each one you get right.
35:42OK, here's the first one.
35:44It's this...
35:48..and this.
35:50And just, that arrow isn't to let you know where the toilet is
35:53if you drink all that.
35:54An arrow like that, that means go over there.
35:57Yes. It's pointing somebody in that direction.
35:59It is pointing in that direction.
36:01Is the fact it's facing away from the water...
36:04The fact that it's facing that way is very relevant to the fact.
36:07You want it to go to your left.
36:08I want it to go in a different direction.
36:10How can I do that using the water? Pour the water on top of it.
36:12I will show you. OK.
36:13Oh, you drop it in the water and it'll turn round.
36:15You're almost right.
36:17Is it to do with north, south, east, west?
36:19No.
36:20Trust me when I show you this.
36:21This will make you change the way you view the world forever.
36:24Keep your eye on the arrow.
36:25By passing it through the water, look what happens.
36:27It changes direction.
36:29Oh!
36:30That's clever.
36:32OK.
36:33OK.
36:37So, kids, if you want to have a bit of fun,
36:39put a jar of water over a one-way sign.
36:42Come on, Verifiers, what's this all about?
36:44So, when light travels from air through water or through glass,
36:50the light ray actually slows down
36:52and that causes it to change direction or bend
36:54and that's called refraction.
36:56Now, because of that, that means that if you view objects
36:59through water or glass, sometimes they look a bit odd.
37:02So, for example, if you try and grab the soap in the bath,
37:05it's not quite where you think it's going to be.
37:07That is true, isn't it?
37:09And that's due to this refraction effect.
37:11Now, in this case, if you were to put the arrow
37:14behind the jar of water, quite near to it,
37:18it would actually act like a magnifying glass,
37:20so it would still look in the same direction
37:22but just slightly bigger.
37:23But what you were doing is passing it behind the glass
37:26slightly further back from it
37:27and you've gone past what's called the focal point of the glass
37:30and that's where the light rays come together,
37:32so they come together and they meet,
37:34and then past that point, they cross over
37:36and they start coming from the opposite direction.
37:38So, the light from each end of the arrow
37:40appears to be coming from the wrong end of the arrow,
37:42so the image of the arrow gets reversed,
37:44so it looks like it's going backwards.
37:46APPLAUSE
37:48That's a nice little fact.
37:51Next, we have this and this.
37:54Tiger's Shave.
37:57Matt, you're sort of close.
37:58Am I?
37:59Well, no, you're not.
38:00Don't shave tigers.
38:02Never shave a tiger.
38:03Never shave a tiger is a fact.
38:05If you did shave a tiger, though, what would happen?
38:07Would it be baldy?
38:08Oh, it would grow back...
38:10It would kill you.
38:13If you shaved that little tiger,
38:14would it grow back without its stripes?
38:16This one would, because it's a toy one.
38:18I know.
38:19If you shaved that tiger, it would be...
38:21I genuinely moved him so he could listen to you there.
38:23It would be a lot harder, tougher.
38:25The hair would be tougher because...
38:27A bald tiger's, like, well-haired.
38:29Oh, a skin-haired tiger.
38:30Yeah, cos those tigers aren't quite tough enough, are they?
38:33Cos I'm often going up to tigers,
38:34going, get your hair cut, you big nasty boy.
38:38If you were to shave this tiger,
38:39what would you expect to see underneath?
38:41Oh, is it skin patterns like its fur?
38:44That's exactly what it is.
38:45My fact is tigers have striped skin as well as stripy fur.
38:48Right.
38:49There it is, look.
38:50That is a very brave person,
38:51and you can see the stripes on the skin.
38:53Can I just point out,
38:54that's probably for an operation or something.
38:56I hope so.
38:57It wasn't the producer of the show going,
38:58get me a tiger and a razor.
39:00Next week, we're going to look at
39:01what penguins look like without heads.
39:05It's horrible.
39:06It's horrible.
39:07It's the right answer.
39:11OK, my next one is this.
39:16And it's these.
39:18Oh, we're about to receive our fee.
39:21Have you got any change yet?
39:27Is it how many fibres you can hold in your hand?
39:30It'd be more than four, cos you could hold loads.
39:32How many do you reckon you could hold?
39:34All hunters.
39:35You've changed, Lorraine.
39:37It is, it is actually, I'll give you a clue,
39:39it's got something to do with gravity.
39:41Right, OK.
39:43Is it about...
39:44I don't mean this is how much it costs to make the film Gravity.
39:47If you threw the fibres in the air,
39:49if you made it rain, it would be difficult to catch them.
39:52Well, it is about difficult to catch, so I'm going to give you that.
39:55The actual answer is,
39:56my fact is people cannot react quick enough
39:58to catch a £5 note when it's dropped between your fingers.
40:02No.
40:03Now, it's probably easier for me to demonstrate this one,
40:05but before we do, verifiers, please tell us more.
40:07Well, this is down to a combination of two factors,
40:09the acceleration due to gravity and human reaction time.
40:12At sea level, kind of where we are,
40:14gravity accelerates objects at 10 metres per second every second.
40:18So if you drop an object, it will accelerate after one second
40:21to 10 metres a second and so on and so on.
40:24The second point is due to human reaction time.
40:27Human reaction time is around about a quarter of a second.
40:30This is the time it takes for you to see something and produce a response.
40:33Now, if the fibre is placed correctly,
40:36it will accelerate out of reach before the human being can react.
40:44So, it's time to prove the fact.
40:46I'm going to demonstrate on Josh
40:48and Lorraine is going to demonstrate on Warwick.
40:50Have a lot of money, Lorraine. Thank you very much.
40:52Now, what you do is you hold your hand like this, Josh,
40:55if you could do the same, Warwick, so you sort of...
40:57The pincer movement, as it were.
40:59And I will hold the £5 note and the rules are it's about halfway, OK?
41:03Now, you've got to wait till I let go. OK.
41:05So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to drop it, OK?
41:08Now, just make sure you're ready. Ready?
41:10Oh, you missed that one, didn't you? That was clever, that one.
41:12OK. Now, here we go.
41:14I know we've mentioned a fee for tonight's show,
41:17but it's basically all you can grab.
41:20Now, are you ready? That's the question.
41:23Right, here we go. Here we go.
41:25If you'd like to demonstrate on Warwick at the same time.
41:28Oh. Oh, so close. So close.
41:30Oh, this is horrible. It's really difficult.
41:32It didn't go right. Isn't it annoying?
41:34Yeah, it's really annoying. It's annoying.
41:38Lorraine, you're getting higher and higher.
41:40I'm so sorry. Oh, that's close.
41:42I'm going to go southpaw.
41:44Oh, you're going to use your wrong hand.
41:47If this don't work, I'm going to use my toes.
41:50No, I could have that.
41:52Oh, he's getting closer.
41:54We're a bit sweaty. There.
41:56What's going on?
41:58I can't do it. I feel like I'm on a magic show.
42:00I can't do it.
42:02Now, you know what? I'm so confident that the vast majority of people
42:04could not do this, so this is what we've done.
42:06Everyone in the audience, look under your seat,
42:08and you will see that every other seat has a £5 note.
42:11Now, with the person... Oh, yes.
42:13Oh, you can't buy class.
42:15With the person sat next to you,
42:17try and see if you can catch the fiver,
42:19and if you do, you can keep it.
42:21This is only, only going to end up
42:23as a game show on Channel 4. We know that.
42:27This is good TV, but on balance,
42:29I have to concede that the million-pound drop
42:31just edges it.
42:33So there you have it.
42:35They were my facts, and after that round,
42:37let's see the final scores.
42:39Congratulations, Josh and Lorraine are the winners
42:41with 16 points.
42:45That's it for tonight's show. A huge thank you
42:47to our verifiers and our special guests,
42:49Laurie Davis, Josh Widdicombe, and Lorraine Kelly.
42:51I'll see you next time. Goodnight.
43:01Now, we all know that Jack White can bang out a tune
43:03like nobody else, but how is he
43:05at relationship advice? Kermit's going to
43:07find out in the season finale of The Muppets
43:09tomorrow at 8pm on Sky 1.
