Quotes 

• Julia Hartley-Brewer : I mean, no offense here, Frankie, but...

  Ian Hislop : Is that the first time anyone's ever said "No offense" to Frankie Boyle?

  Frankie Boyle : None taken!

• Frankie Boyle : Ian and Julia, your four are: Pot Black Snooker, The Biami Tribe, The Natural Environment Research Council's Polar Research Vessel, and the Fossilised Egg of an Elephant Bird.

  Julia Hartley-Brewer : Well we know about the Polar Vessel because people voted to call it "Boatey McBoatface" in an online poll or "Boring McBoring Face" but the Government decided that was wrong so they're going to call it "The Sir David Attenborough". But that, rather wonderfully, prompted a petition for Sir David Attenborough to change his name to "Sir David McDavidface".

  Ian Hislop : This is about changing your name? It's not called "Pot Black" anymore?

  Paul Merton : Every colour is equal!

  Adil Ray : Is there a link to Sir David Attenborough?

  Paul Merton : It's because David Attenborough was the controller of BBC 2 back when Pot Black was commissioned in 1969. Because it was a program made for colour TV

  Adil Ray : Did he discover all these except for...

  Julia Hartley-Brewer : Boatey McBoatface!

  Frankie Boyle : Absolutely right. I thought it could have been a lot worse asking the British Public to decide on something. It could have been called "The Harold Shipman".
