That's what I've just said. I'm only about six years older than David Mitchell, and I remember Standard Fireworks really well. Growing up in the 1970s, a lot of people bought them for bonfire parties in the back garden. And Sarah Millican likewise is close in age to David, and she didn't seem to know them either. (Lee Mack is the same age as me, but maybe he was staying quiet, since he's on Bob's team.) I mean they'd be everywhere in the shops in November.

Every time I watch this, which consequently tells I've watched it more than once before (indeed, many, many times; so many times that I can anticipate Fuji Nine like a lyric of a song), I pretend to be unbiased, and feel free of bonds to deduct the truth or the lie. He's such a great fabulator, or actually isn't because Mortimer's truthful.

I've never seen much Bob Mortimer before. By the time I was halfway through I literally had tears coming at the description of how very sick the owl was, but not tears of pity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No I'm not callous because I know Bob would have taken good care of the poorly sick owl with the "colestomy" bag. 🤣

Of course it's true. I used to buy 'Standard' fireworks when I was young just as we were allowed to buy cigarettes for my parents. And we used to play with sparklers in the kitchen, especially if it was terrible weather outside, because that's where all the water was just in case.

He's such an hilarious charmer and a sweetheart that everybody lets it go. The scores are all BS anyway. Bob and David are never on the same team, I'd say because it's such fun watching them go head to head - I bet David loves every minute of it.
