Speaker 10 Welcome to Young Again with me, Kirstie Young. On my desert island, I would take Giles Brandreth and leave him there.

Speaker 10 But in this show, I ask my guests what advice they'd give their younger selves. Well, today's guest is with me in the studio, and I'm going to jump straight in.
So, any regrets, Mr. Welby?

Speaker 11 Nothing major, no.

Speaker 10 So, you wouldn't go back to, oh, I don't know, 2013 and tell your younger self to pull his bloody finger out? Possibly.

Speaker 13 Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

Speaker 10 I ask you then why you're resigning.

Speaker 13 Ah, well, that came about after a recent conversation with God.

Speaker 15 Oh, and?

Speaker 13 Well, the Lord does move in mysterious ways, as you know, and in this instance, he told me to collect my stuff, leave leave my pass at reception, and F off Pronto.

Speaker 9 You're listening to today with Michelle Hussein and Emma Barmart. The headlines.
The climate change conference COP29 has opened in Azerbaijan, a country where 90% of exports are oil and gas.

Speaker 9 Not to be outdone, the Vegan Society has booked its Christmas due at the local Angus Steakhouse.

Speaker 10 Yes, it's COP29, sadly, apparently like Star Trek films. Only the even-numbered ones are any good.

Speaker 10 The world's leading naturalist had this to say.

Speaker 11 Azerbaijan insists oil and gas have a role to play in meeting net zero targets, much in the same way that heroin has a role to play in stamping out drug addiction.

Speaker 10 China won't be at COP29, but the Taliban will be. They have have an ambitious target of net-zero women being seen in public by 2030.

Speaker 9 Keir Stamer's speech promising Britain would be a world leader in the fight against climate change was poorly received. The Prime Minister joins me on the line.

Speaker 15 Good morning.

Speaker 14 Sorry, Michelle.

Speaker 14 I'll bit knackered, actually. Yeah, in the past month, I've visited Samoa, France, America, Spain, and Mauritius.

Speaker 22 And next week, I'm off to the G7 in Brazil.

Speaker 9 And you're doing this all to restore the UK's standing on the world stage?

Speaker 23 No, I'm doing it for the the air miles.

Speaker 22 I'm a British Airways Gold member now. Free Wi-Fi, nice coffee, and as many tiny sandwiches as you can eat.

Speaker 14 I'd never dreamed of such luxury.

Speaker 23 Have I ever mentioned I'm the son of a toolmaker?

Speaker 5 No, I'm not.

Speaker 9 But can progress be made at COP given the recent political upheavals?

Speaker 14 Oh yes, absolutely Emma. You know, everyone here is committed to working together towards a sustainable future for our planet.

Speaker 15 Sorry, what was that?

Speaker 15 Nothing.

Speaker 11 Just ignore it. That's what we're doing.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 9 It sounded like an elephant. Is there an elephant in the room with you?

Speaker 22 I think if there was a bloody Donald Trump-shaped elephant in the room, you know, somebody would have mentioned that.

Speaker 10 There was disbelief after Donald Trump appointed Matt Gates, a congressman who was investigated for child sex trafficking, as his attorney general.

Speaker 26 I'm just getting started. started.

Speaker 26 I've also appointed the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Speaker 26 He's going to be my new secretary for education.

Speaker 26 Great guy, great guy.

Speaker 26 I like the Bang Bangs.

Speaker 26 And Cocaine Bear to head the forestry department. I like bears as they defecate wherever the hell they want.

Speaker 26 Just like the Dalet.

Speaker 10 It's been a good week for Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine war, with Russia retaking the strategic locations of Borsky in the Kursk region and the White House in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 10 Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended after being filmed making foul-mouthed comments about former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.

Speaker 10 Coote insisted it was just banter, but after everyone stood around aimlessly for 10 minutes, VAR finally ruled that he had crossed the line.

Speaker 9 The new opposition leader, Kemi Badenock, has been accused of being wooden and stilted at Prime Minister's questions. She joins me now.
Miss Badenock.

Speaker 10 No, no, there's no truth to the claims that I'm wooden and stilted. In fact, I'm known at Tory HQ for my humorous banter.

Speaker 9 That sounds great.

Speaker 5 Right-o.

Speaker 10 Let the banter begin.

Speaker 10 Right, okay.

Speaker 9 Do you want to start?

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 10 I am ready to start the banter.

Speaker 10 Are you ready to start the banter?

Speaker 9 Look, I don't think this is going very well.

Speaker 15 Well, ha ha ha.

Speaker 10 You, you might say it's not going well, but in my opinion, it is

Speaker 10 going

Speaker 14 well.

Speaker 9 I think we'll leave it there.

Speaker 10 Boom, boom, still got it, Kenny.

Speaker 10 In its first weekend, Paddington in Peru has broken box office records. He joins me now.

Speaker 23 Come on, Emma, hurry this up. I'm a busy bear.

Speaker 23 I'm really not happy. You said I was getting organic marmalade sandwiches in the green room, but they weren't.

Speaker 10 Well, yes, but you didn't have to throw them at Michelle.

Speaker 23 I'm a big movie star now, Emma. I've met the bloody queen, you know.

Speaker 23 So spit out your sad little questions and let me get back to my amphetamine and panda possi.

Speaker 10 Okay, so what are the rumours that you've been seeing Sue behind Sooty's back?

Speaker 5 Complete rubbish.

Speaker 23 And even if it were true, Sooty's signed an NDA, so he's not talking to anyone.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 10 those other rumours about you and the eldest daughter of the Brown family?

Speaker 14 This interview is over!

Speaker 10 Historians are up in arms about incongruities in Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 movie.

Speaker 10 Most noticeably, how that skinny, weedy kid from Normal People now has pecs like all the magic mic dancers combined and a rippling six-pack.

Speaker 9 But Emma, just as we wouldn't objectify an actress for her body, we wouldn't do the same to Paul Mescal.

Speaker 10 I'd climb him like a tree.

Speaker 10 Homebase has gone into administration after management failed to put together a rescue package, three shelves and a patio dining table.

Speaker 10 Disney has announced yet another remastered version of the original Star Wars movies to bring them up to date for 2024.

Speaker 9 Darth Vader, only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this.
When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic.

Speaker 18 Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time.

Speaker 21 I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.

Speaker 9 I will never bow down to your tyranny and- Excuse me, Kirk, I should just bought in here.

Speaker 15 Joe Biden, what the hell are you doing here?

Speaker 30 I just popped by to give Princess Leah some advice.

Speaker 30 A bit of advice, Lil Biden wisdom. Now, when one of the world's most evil beings returns to your life, Princess Leia, you shouldn't sound so furious and angry.

Speaker 30 It's bad. You shouldn't do that.

Speaker 31 No.

Speaker 32 What you should do, you should just say, welcome back.

Speaker 30 And then what you do is help ensure a smooth transition to power.

Speaker 9 But that's insane. Darth wants to kill me and destroy everyone who supports me.

Speaker 30 That's the same with Trump. Come on,

Speaker 30 give it a try.

Speaker 29 Um, okay, um, Darth, welcome back.

Speaker 16 You know, crushing the rebel alliance is tough.

Speaker 18 And in many cases, it's not a very nice world.

Speaker 3 But it's a nice world today.

Speaker 18 And I appreciate that very much.

Speaker 11 Hey, see,

Speaker 30 doesn't it feel good? It feels really good. It feels peachy, right?

Speaker 10 Joe Biden welcomed President-elect Trump into the White House.

Speaker 30 Yeah,

Speaker 30 people say Trump is a fascist demagogue, but he couldn't have been nicer to me.

Speaker 30 Donald says when I'm finished in the Oval Office,

Speaker 11 he's going to personally arrange for me to go live on a farm.

Speaker 11 I love that.

Speaker 30 It's so nice. Very nice.
I love goats and sheep.

Speaker 10 Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner spoke to J.D. Vance this week about building on the special relationship.
She joins me on the line. Ms.

Speaker 11 Raynor, how was the call?

Speaker 9 We got on really well and had a lot in common.

Speaker 10 Isn't it difficult building bridges with people who you've previously said have no place in the White House?

Speaker 9 We got on really well and had a lot in common.

Speaker 10 But what do you make of Fancy's views on feminism?

Speaker 9 We got on really well and had.

Speaker 9 Oh, sod it. I can't do this.
You can just shoot me, Kid.

Speaker 5 Read the words, Angela.

Speaker 9 There's to be an independent review into rail fare prosecutions. This will ensure passengers who have made mistakes with their tickets don't receive disproportionate punishment.

Speaker 9 Although anyone putting their bag on the seat next to them will be immediately incinerated.

Speaker 9 In Royal News, Queen Camilla has restarted Royal Duties this week after some time off. In a rare interview for the BBC, she joins me now.

Speaker 5 Bloody hell, how hot is the rivals?

Speaker 10 I just finished the last episode and I've got one word: foor.

Speaker 9 But Your Majesty, I thought you'd taken a step back from royal duties because of health problems.

Speaker 10 Well, if by health problems you mean a newfound addiction to posh smut, then you're spot on.

Speaker 10 Something about watching a bunch of blue-blooded, ruddy-faced poshos absolutely going at it has given me a new lease of life. Actually, that gives me an idea.
Charles, Charles, call in sick.

Speaker 10 Get that lazy ass William to do some waving for you.

Speaker 9 We're having a Buckhouse bonkathon.

Speaker 10 It's been announced that Sue Gray won't, after all, be taking up the job of the Prime Minister's envoy to the nations and regions because it was just a silly made-up title that has no reason to exist.

Speaker 10 In other news, Prince Andrew is still the Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Inverness, Baron Killelee, and Lead of the Seven Kingdoms of Thark.

Speaker 10 And finally, Silicon Valley has reacted gleefully to the news that following Trump's election, Bitcoin has hit a record high.

Speaker 3 We are overjoyed. Yippee Yaw.

Speaker 16 This gives the chance for hundreds of thousands of ordinary carbon life forms to rush out

Speaker 16 to buy Elon Bitcoins, only to lose everything in six months' time when the Bitcoin boom tanks.

Speaker 11 Boohoo, boohoo.

Speaker 16 They lost it all. Their humanoid suffering makes Elon's circuits tingle.

Speaker 4 Crying more tears, humanoids.

Speaker 16 Elon lubricates his joints on their salty goodness.

Speaker 3 No, no, don't let me speak.

Speaker 3 It's Big Dodge's podcast, and I'm joining you today from the lefty lefty wokey COP29 Summit to have a right good old laugh.

Speaker 3 And before you have a pop, Baku is basically en route back to Clacton from Mar-a-Lago.

Speaker 11 Right, okay.

Speaker 3 I've got a youngster here called Greta. Say a piece, sweetheart.

Speaker 9 The proposals at COP29 do not go far enough.

Speaker 11 Don't go far.

Speaker 18 Blimey.

Speaker 3 All this fuss over something that's not even real.

Speaker 9 You don't believe in climate change?

Speaker 3 Look, I believe in climate change, but that's because nowadays you have to.

Speaker 11 It's like washing your hands after the bog.

Speaker 5 It's just easier to say you've done it.

Speaker 9 Okay,

Speaker 9 give me your pint of beer and your lighter.

Speaker 15 Look, hey, hey.

Speaker 9 Now, say this nice, cool pint of beer is the world.

Speaker 18 You're damn right, sister.

Speaker 9 And now let's see what happens when the atmosphere around the world is warmed.

Speaker 11 Honestly, that's it.

Speaker 15 Sure. Look.

Speaker 15 Hey.

Speaker 15 Hang on. It's bubbling.
My world is boiling.

Speaker 25 No. See?

Speaker 18 You know, I finally understand it.

Speaker 11 How could I have been so blind?

Speaker 3 COP29 isn't going far enough. We're breaching the Paris Agreement.

Speaker 25 Those poor polar bears.

Speaker 9 It is good to have you on side, Nigel.

Speaker 25 You're welcome.

Speaker 11 We need to act now. I need a drink.

Speaker 11 How can I... Hang on.

Speaker 26 This is absolutely delicious.

Speaker 9 The boiled beer?

Speaker 28 It's like a warm kiss from Churchill on a summer's day.

Speaker 12 What?

Speaker 3 Never mind.

Speaker 11 It's just a dream I once had.

Speaker 3 But the point is this. Climate change is real, and we should be doing everything in our power to speed it up.

Speaker 3 Back to Clackton, I go, but in a private jet, smoking cigarettes and farting out the window.

Speaker 5 Bye-bye.

Speaker 33 Hello, it is Ryan, and I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite social spin slot games on chumbacasino.com.

Speaker 3 Shut up, losers.

Speaker 26 I have a bigly important announcement to make.

Speaker 26 I'm appointing the great super genius Ilal in a new position, a bigly important role

Speaker 26 as First Lady.

Speaker 28 I'll call him Ilania.

Speaker 26 Milania has been malfunctioning for a while.

Speaker 26 Saying crazy stuff like, I wish I'd never met you.

Speaker 26 Get that mushroom away from me before I chop it off and throw it out the window.

Speaker 26 It's very sad.

Speaker 19 We're sending her to the UK to be put down.

Speaker 26 Thanks to their new assisted dyeing bill. It's a great bill.

Speaker 26 As my new first lady, Ilania will massage my feet daily with the congealed fat you get at the bottom of a KFC bucket.

Speaker 26 It's very smooth, very sensual. Smells great.
He will always be by my side, telling me what to do and say, and stopping me from accidentally grabbing a head of steak by the vagina.

Speaker 26 He will wear sunglasses and act like an emotionless robot and wear a shiny, shiny figure-hugging Versace dress so tight.

Speaker 16 Donald, darling, light of my life.

Speaker 16 Fire of my flat stainless steel loins.

Speaker 16 Say goodbye to these nice people. It's your bedtime now.

Speaker 26 Hang on, it's only 4:30 and I haven't even had my happy meal yet. Great meal.

Speaker 16 I know that, but Elania needs to sort a few things out, like awarding Tesla and SpaceX billions of government contracts and unprecedented tax breaks.

Speaker 16 And it would be much easier if you weren't under my feet.

Speaker 34 Okay, my sugar puff.

Speaker 18 Great puff.

Speaker 26 I'll be waiting for you in bed, wearing nothing but my very subtle, very natural fake tan.

Speaker 5 Hey, what?

Speaker 19 Let's play hide the mushroom.

Speaker 16 Ilania will self-destruct in five seconds.

Speaker 9 Hello, and welcome to Match of the Day.

Speaker 9 I'm Kelly Summers, sitting in for Gary Lineke this week as he prepares to exit the show after 25 years with wonderful memories and enough money to buy Rail Madrid 10 times over.

Speaker 9 Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand. Will you miss Gary?

Speaker 11 No, filthy pervert.

Speaker 3 I hope they string him up 1,000%. Disgusting.

Speaker 9 No, guys, Gary's the only BBC presenter in the last five years who hasn't left after doing something disgusting.

Speaker 11 Oh, good on him then.

Speaker 15 Yeah, right.

Speaker 9 So, the focus now of the show will be exclusively football.

Speaker 11 Oh, yes.

Speaker 24 Phew. No more Gary getting us all dragged dragged into trouble and shooting his big mouth off on Twitter or whatever it's called now.

Speaker 9 Exactly. We begin with Wolves versus Man City, the game played at Molyneux in the Black Country, a region known for its economic decline over 14 long years of the Tories.

Speaker 9 Why did I just say that?

Speaker 24 Just keep going, Kelly.

Speaker 23 Ignore it.

Speaker 9 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 Yes, that was a devastating pass, but nowhere near as devastating as Israel's continued bombardment of Gazma.

Speaker 9 Why do I keep saying this stuff?

Speaker 21 It's because you are one billion percent in Gary's chair, Kelly.

Speaker 24 It was prophesied that anyone who sits in the chair of Lineker will start mouthing off opinions on social media and enraging the right-wing press who only want opinions from serious people like Boris Johnson's sister and that vicar who looks like a Muppet.

Speaker 12 No!

Speaker 9 No, no, the match of the day chair is not destroying my career. I'm gonna...

Speaker 9 I'm gonna fight it. And

Speaker 29 I'm gonna win. Yes, come on.

Speaker 11 Do it.

Speaker 29 Right.

Speaker 29 Phew. All right, that's better.

Speaker 9 No more politics.

Speaker 30 Well done, girl. Good.

Speaker 9 Back to football. And let's have an extended debate about whether VAR has been a positive force in the game.

Speaker 24 On second thoughts, does Qatar pulling out as mediator of peace talks between Israel and Gaza dash all hopes for a ceasefire?

Speaker 35 Oh, it does.

Speaker 28 817.4%.

Speaker 34 That was stairway to heaven by Lead Zeppelin.

Speaker 34 Have you ever gone up a stairway and found yourself in heaven?

Speaker 34 Maybe it seemed like heaven,

Speaker 34 but was in fact a transdimensional realm inhabited by mysterious beings.

Speaker 34 That's out phone in later.

Speaker 34 So Justin Welby has resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury and I am excited to have his replacement on the line.

Speaker 34 Hello Roger.

Speaker 13 Yeah, hi Jeremy, lovely to speak to you.

Speaker 34 I gather until yesterday you ran a fish and chip shop.

Speaker 13 Yeah that's right, the Cod Father. Don't hate and battered sausage are equally available.

Speaker 34 And I'm told you don't actually believe in God.

Speaker 13 Yeah, no, that's right.

Speaker 36 How did you become Archbishop of Canterbury?

Speaker 13 Oh, well, it's a funny story. I was on the internet and I was doing a which Archbishop Are You quiz on Facebook

Speaker 13 and I got Elfric of Abinden.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 13 And then one of the questions was: Do you find the notion of abusing children or beating them within an inch of their lives abhorrent? So of course I clicked yes.

Speaker 13 Next thing I know, I got a call from the General Synod. Apparently, a surprisingly small small percentage of C of V bishops think that's a bad thing.

Speaker 13 To cut a long story short, they offered me the position of Archbishop.

Speaker 34 I hate to sound negative, Roger,

Speaker 34 but you just don't seem qualified for the job.

Speaker 36 Do you have any experience of miracles?

Speaker 13 No, I do charge 11 quid for cod and chips and still have people queuing out the door.

Speaker 13 You'll be perfect.

Speaker 13 And now on BBC One, it's the finale of Wolf Hall. Sir Thomas Cromwell faces his imminent demise at the hands of the King.

Speaker 26 Sir Thomas Cromwell, you stand accused of treason.

Speaker 30 And sorry, Your Majesty. At the time of her coronation, I did not know that the Queen was unable to produce an heir for you.

Speaker 21 Enough!

Speaker 26 I have no choice but to sentence you to execution.

Speaker 30 No, no, you will not, my liege.

Speaker 18 Yes, I will.

Speaker 18 I'm King Henry.

Speaker 26 Nothing can save you.

Speaker 30 You won't execute me, Majesty, because I'm going to do the look.

Speaker 11 The look?

Speaker 30 The Mark Rylance look. The one with the sad, weary eyes and the kind face.

Speaker 30 No one can resist the Mark Ryland's look.

Speaker 11 I am the King of England.

Speaker 21 I have faced down the Pope, the Spanish, and the French. Nothing will prevent your death on this day.

Speaker 18 Here it comes.

Speaker 30 I'm going to smile now.

Speaker 30 Nothing?

Speaker 18 I'm going to crinkle up my eyes.

Speaker 11 The little wrinkles,

Speaker 26 the gentle smile.

Speaker 20 You're just too adorable.

Speaker 26 You will not die this day.

Speaker 21 My good and loyal friend, Cromwell.

Speaker 32 Thank you.

Speaker 13 This is MSNBC News and we're delighted to be joined now in the studio by Vice President Kamala Harris. Now looking back at the presidential election.

Speaker 36 You know what?

Speaker 10 I am grateful. Losing that election was the will of the universe because it has guided me straight to Etsy.

Speaker 11 Etsy? Sure.

Speaker 10 My new Etsy shop is flourishing. Would you be interested in an inspirational tea towel? Maybe not right now, but I can't get my message across as president.
I'll get it across on household textiles.

Speaker 37 I've brought samples.

Speaker 10 Look, here's only when it's dark enough can you see the stars from my concession speech, remember? And this one says, You have to look through the rain to see the rainbow.

Speaker 27 And here's my favorite: bake the world a better place.

Speaker 37 So much fun.

Speaker 13 Are you sure you're coping with your election loss?

Speaker 11 Oh, I got more.

Speaker 10 I got more. Look at these.
It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.

Speaker 37 Live, love, lose control of the Senate.

Speaker 13 Right, I think we're out of time.

Speaker 9 If you're a Christian like me and you're angry or appalled about certain recent events, then why not vent all those negative feelings by singing along with me in these specially adapted versions of your favorite hymns?

Speaker 38 All things bleak and horrible.

Speaker 38 Amazing fall from grace.

Speaker 38 He who would negligent be gainst all abusers.

Speaker 38 My shepherd, I'll not wait for the police to take decisive action.

Speaker 38 Morning has broken, like the church's safeguarding procedures.

Speaker 18 And with Christmas around the corner, you'll also get a selection of specially adapted carols. Hark, the herald angels keep quiet about it all.

Speaker 38 Conspiracy of silence night.

Speaker 38 Little town of Canterbury, choose a better archbishop next time.

Speaker 26 Okay, everyone, I've nearly finished putting my team together. I just have a few major announcements left.

Speaker 26 I have great pleasure in announcing my new head of the FDA, the Food and Drink Department.

Speaker 26 Your friend and my friend, you know him, I know him. The late, great Hannibal Lecter.

Speaker 28 Come on up here. Think about it.
Great guy, great guy.

Speaker 32 Hello, everybody.

Speaker 32 I think actually you're making quite a grave error, Mr. Trump.
I'm not actually Hannibal Lecter.

Speaker 26 You're not? No, no, no. But you look just like him.

Speaker 32 No, I'm just the actor Antony Hopkins. I portrayed Hannibal Ector in three movies, but I'm not actually Hannibal Lecter.

Speaker 26 Wait a second, hang on.

Speaker 19 You pretended to be his.

Speaker 31 Yes.

Speaker 26 I gotta say, that's very sneaky.

Speaker 26 Snark Gray.

Speaker 18 Does he know?

Speaker 31 No, he's a fictional character.

Speaker 26 He doesn't exist. Like the funky phantom Rudy Giuliani.

Speaker 32 Okay, I'm going now.

Speaker 26 Well, it looked like he didn't want the job, folks. I'm very sorry.
Never mind. Let me announce my next appointment.

Speaker 19 Head of the newly formed corruption busting department.

Speaker 26 An actual ex-president and a brilliant guy. Richard Nixon.

Speaker 3 Bring him up here. Come on.
Tricky Dicky.

Speaker 31 Here again.

Speaker 31 Look.

Speaker 32 I'm not Richard Nixon either.

Speaker 4 I know Richard Nixon.

Speaker 32 I'm still Anthony Bloody Hopkins.

Speaker 26 You're not Richard Nixon. No.
But your face was on the DVD.

Speaker 5 Oh, no.

Speaker 26 Signed a Blu-ray and nothing. High definition.

Speaker 32 I know my face was on the DVD. That's because I pretended to be Richard Nixon in the movie.

Speaker 26 This is very deceitful. I'm sorry.

Speaker 26 You're a very deceitful person. You're a bad guy.

Speaker 21 I'm definitely...

Speaker 32 Definitely going now. Okay, goodbye.

Speaker 18 Goodbye.

Speaker 26 Very disappointing.

Speaker 36 Disappointed.
