"You can get a gallon of LSD for 123, 000 pounds."

*"WHERE?"*

Wish we got more of these highlights with Jo and Alan doing banter together, great chemistry

[VgnRaj]

What IS traditional marmalade made from? Cliffhanger ending??

[liamgavin]

Never seen Jo Brand laugh like she does at the end there before. Nice moment

[JackDManheim]

I really hate those endcards popping up before the video has ended.

"What is traditional marmalade made of?"
Horse semen, obviously.

[TheHutchy]

A gallon of Alan's produce in Poundland. Somehow I don't think Ashens would be having a taste test of that on the Brown Sofa.

Phil does look like a different person in each episode haha

[DouglasParkinson]

I was in the audience for that episode. Alan Davies went on a heck of a tangent off of the volume of semen in a horse ejaculation that caused Sandi to crack up trying to record the conclusion something like four or five times. She even tried again after the end of the episode, and still couldn't keep a straight face.

I don't know if it got into the broadcast episode, or would be classed as "too hot for TV". Either way it was brilliant :)

The answer is insulin if you live in the US.

I wonder if there were any back alley threats against the people who could make scorpion venom cheaper.

[CricketEngland]

Look like e have a new editor who doesn’t know what they are doing on tonight

[robinscanlon]

My brother dated a girl whos Dad had a vial of oil that had been drilled at huge expense (several million pounds) only for the well to be totally uneconomical. He claimed that was the most expensive liquid in the world...

[JervisGermane]

I'd be interested to know what in the scientific world is driving demand for scorpion venom, and after reading the comments, horseshoe crab blood. I remember vaguely from watching House that scorpion venom is used as a tagging/contrast agent for imaging, so if I'm remembering correctly that's probably it.

[murphyc]

There are a number of liquids in the science field that would be more expensive

[godofcrap]

What about gamer-girl bathwater? I've heard that was going for some high prices not too long ago

[mikeneale]

What Is The Most Expensive Liquid On Earth?...
...an ice cold beer in Mecca.

[katiobrien]

Wait. I want to know the marmalade answer!

[TallSilentGuy]

I immediately thought "liquid diamond"; and can confirm that it does at least exist.
