Emma: I used to do that to him, actually, make sure that he couldn’t get out when I was changing.
Stephen: You did.
Emma: Yeah. It was very good fun.
Stephen: She used to show me her breasts.
Emma: This fantastic effect I used to have on him, ‘cause I could make—I could do it now—I’m not going to, but I could—I could make him scream.
Stephen: No. No. Don’t.
Emma: Not like that scream that we just heard, but a real, actual sort of scream of terror and fright, just by appearing nude at the top of his stairs. And doing what I like to do, which is locking all the doors at the bottom, so that when he tried to get out … as I came down the stairs, going, “Yes, baby, they’re all yours!” By the end of which he was in a state of such extreme panic, and it’s great to make someone very clever fall apart like that.This never gets old. The best part is that after thirty years Stephen is STILL freaked out, just by the memory of it all :D

David Mitchell on the 5,732 provisions affecting the enclave of Baarle-Hertog in the treaty of Maastricht.
- David Mitchell: Well . . . this . . . this is an easy one. Erm . . . the . . . the . . . the enclave actually only, er, exists theoretically because it was . . . it's a . . . it's a sort of sandbank, er, which was once farmed, but was flooded in the 14th century, and it exists between Denmark and, er, Germany in the Heligoland Bite, and the . . . but it's sort of been an anomaly in diplomatic, er, law ever since then, because . . . because there were arguments about who owned it theoretically even though no one could go there, and so, the 5,732 provisions are, actually . . . It's a provision for each of the former states, er, of the holy Roman Empire before it was dissolved by Napoleon.
- Stephen Fry: That is absolutely wrong. Not one thing that you said was true.
- David: But . . . Not one thing, yeah.
