If you leave it just about long enough between repeat viewings of his tales, it's possible to end up in a loop of never remembering whether they are going to be true or not despite having seen it multiple times.

David Mitchell described this exact phenomenon (but he _was_ talking about Antiques Roadshow instead). He talked about guessing the ending of a TV show that you've already seen and getting the answer right. Then wondering if you've got a secret skill or if you just seen it before.

David summed Bob up in 1 sentence. "Whatever he says, however absurd, it could still be true, however plausible, could still be a lie".

Bob's "yeah" was amazing, too

Start watching at. 3:25 - David’s reaction after Bob quoting the witch - he looks like a small child, overcome by wonder and excitement!

I love how David forewarned his teammates about what was about to happen, to their dismissal. And by the end of Bob's story you could see how hooked they were.

Bob has the most amazing stories, it's insane. This guy's life was like a TV show, which is incredibly fitting.

The fact that the most outrageous stories can be true and how he sounds like he's making things up even when it's the truth make Bob an absolute wildcard on WILTY.

I never, ever, ever get it right - even on multiple re-watches of the same stories! I'd hate to be a cop trying to interrogate Bob for a suspected crime 🤣 He's just brilliant, unique and utterly hilarious 😂

Bob Mortimer is a spirit of primordial chaos

If Bob said he had a wardrobe that opened up to a mystical realm with dragons I'd believe it.

I love Bob & David together! Such a great pairing of minds. This is a brilliant show 😂👏👏👏

Bob is the god of this show, even with the talent around him,porkchop Johnson and a snipers dream are classics.

Mortimer is a genius. When he starts riffing it’s mind blowing. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Bob is so pleased with David for understanding the gardening/plumbing paradigm.

The tone of David and his team almost made me say "lie" with some confidence. Foiled by Bob again! Bob Mortimer is a national treasure! Have him on EVERY season of this show!

David def had a meltdown when he went home

come on, david, when bob breaks out the weird nicknames (ken numbers, mary candles) and absurd explanations (witches dont do gardening, wizards dont do plumbing) you know he is telling the truth.

I could listen to Bob's anecdotes all day.

A lot of stories are not far from what we did as kids and teens in the 70s but he makes them hilarious whereas if we told our similar tales they would be merely silly with the odd funny bit.

Henning is also really good and I have to give Kevin Bridges a mention because his explanation of accidentally buying a horse in Bulgaria was not only over-the-top hilarious but David and Rob looked like their brains were about to short-circuit with frustration.

After the story "whats with the funny faces" I feel David's hopelessness.
