That pen probably belonged to the same small child too. I think Lee Mack should be hanged.
And drawn and quartered too!

The incident with the bike ruined the whole episode for me, it was similar to Pete Townsend smashing up his guitars on stage, guitars I feel, that are owned by the same little girl who's bike got smashed into pieces. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch the show again.

The BBC should order Lee Mack to bring in one of his own child's toys then smash it in front of that child, just like Mack did to that poor child, who probably doesn't exist.

Typical BBC.
Well this is the same Lee Mack who made his baby girl cry on camera by playing her Ultravox and then allowed it to be shown on WILTY. Terrible man. Terrible man. Terrible terrible terrible man. (Sorry, been on a Vic and Bob binge!)

And he snapped David's pen. The guy is a menace!!!

This exchange made me laugh more than the programme did.

I thought it was a great episode this week, particularly enjoyed the stunned silence when Hugh revealed his name isn't actually Hugh but is in fact Peter, followed by David immediately quipping "My god, it's like Eastenders isn't it?"

But damn, I was SO sure that Lee had thrown that guy's phone in the river, that damn monster!!

Firstly and most importantly, this week Lee did not bring millions of little girls to tears by callously destroying a child's bike.

Thought it was an average episode but still enjoyed it very much.

Quite liked John Simpson's gag when Hugh Dennis said his autograph is on eBay for £1.35 and John quipped "on a £5 note".

John seems to have a great sense of humour. Loved when Lee said the 1 syllable name rule was stupid because John was a smart guy, and he replied with "Yeah but I'm on this show".

Plus I had a little giggle when he poked fun at Rob's height by saying he should stand on the chair

The tale of Hugh's name change due to Peter Dennis being the head of Equity naming committee - or whatever it was called - would've made a good story for the show.

I thought the same.

I enjoyed it this week. Everyone was very good, I thought. I still can't believe that John Simpson crawled past a customs bloke on hands and knees!

I was wondering how he got through passport control at the other end of the journey

Enjoyed the episode more this week than last week. All of the participants had their funny moments. I was surprised that I found John to be a panel show delight. Rob was also both funny and less annoying than usual.

There's no way that story was true, he wouldn't have got a boarding pass without his passport and you need to show your passport before you board the plane also.

Where did it happen? Don't forget that he travels all over the world and practices vary in different countries with many being very 'relaxed'.

Another good 'un in what's been a great series. Warwick was the slight stand out for me; describing his big garden and going for a walk around it; "It was a 2 day expedition."

Yeah Warwick was great, I loved the hand wash story too.

Depends when it was.

In 1988 (ish) on returning from a trip to Amsterdam I managed to forget that in the early hours I'd drunkenly stashed my passport in my sponge bag ("so I won't forget it") and later put said sponge bag in my suitcase. Still hadn't remembered this at check in and managed to get a boarding pass anyway. The guy on passport control also let me through but advised me that I'd have to take my chances at Heathrow. By the time we landed I had remembered it all and retrieved the passport when I got my suitcase from the luggage carousel.

No doubt security is much tighter these days.

I can believe it was true pre-9/11.

If you look him up on Wikipedia it turns out Peter Dennis was quite a successful actor. He appeared in Grange Hill, Crown Court, Prime Suspect, Murder She Wrote, Friends, Star Trek: Voyager, Seinfeld and Shrek, amongst many others. No wonder Hugh Dennis couldn't use the name.

I loved Lee's unwillingness to be upstaged by Brian. Kind of a hit and miss episode, but it wasn't for lack of trying, certainly.

I am not sure if Brian's unhinged quirkiness is good for WILTY. But I read the responses on Youtube and Twitter it seems like everyone likes him. I wonder why because I find him toooooo eccentric (not in the amusing way like Bob Mortimer who comes up with fun and hilarious tales from time to time)

I thought Brian was great. I expected him to take over the show and be a but too much to take, but he was hilarious without being overbearing.

There's no one like Bob Mortimer. I wish he was a permanent fixture.

I could just sit and watch the changing expressions on David Mitchell's face all day. This and As Yet Untitled ( with Alan Davies on Dave) are the best comedy programmes around.

I want to do very inappropriate things to Kate Williams. Some will find the schoolgirl laughs strange coming from a 40+ woman, but I find it very cute. Would love to see her do Strictly next year.

Oh, the show? It was fine I guess, lol.

Can they atleast try and hide the fact that many of the jokes are scripted and carefully choreographed.
