• Sarah Millican : [Police raid on Parliamentary Office]  It's a bit like school, isn't it? Well, it is, cos it's like someone's put a photo of someone's bum on the headmaster's desk, and they've said whose is this? And now we're trying to find out who put it there, everyone's saying "It wasn't me"...

  Paul Merton : Are bums like fingerprints, every one is different?

  David Mitchell : They discovered the bum print a long time before the fingerprint, the police are just too embarrassed to use it.

• David Mitchell : So who else has been the subject of a Petition this week?

  Guest : The strangely named Tyson Fury, who believes that homosexuals are pedophiles and women are better to be in the kitchen.

  Andy Hamilton : For a boxer he's not strangely named! He's name after that well known wife beater Mike Tyson. Don't broadcast that, he might be watching.

  Guest : He was up for Sports Personality of the Year, now was he ever going to win, that's the thing.

  David Mitchell : Over 100,000 people signed a Petition asking he be removed from the shortlist.

  David Mitchell : What did he actually say, Fury?

  Andy Hamilton : Homosexuals and Pedophiles, that needs to be sorted before the End of the World. So he's put a kind of deadline on it. And he said women belong in the kitchen or on their backs.

  Paul Merton : That makes cooking quite difficult, doesn't it?

  Andy Hamilton : It does!

  Paul Merton : One of those low level ovens I suppose. I mean, she'd have to be up for it...

  David Mitchell : Fury said there are only three things that need to be accomplished before the Devil Comes Home: one is homosexuality being legal, one is abortion, the other is pedophilia. Quite a dark remark, isn't it?

  Andy Hamilton : Although he is rather positive about it, there are ONLY three, he says.

  David Mitchell : I didn't realise that the Devil lived here!

  Paul Merton : He had a place in Luton, didn't he?
