2:42 I always hear Rob Brydon go on about how smart and quick Lee is. Now I believe.

[John_Ridley]

Lee has an amazing facility to break hosts, both Sandy and Stephen have been reduced to baffled speechlessness by him.

[jelstone]

It has to be a voluntary thing, like having an asteroid land on you?

[wanderlustwarrior]

Someone who has loyalty and royalty in their DNA.

[sirrliv]

Not once did they mention that it's also Uncle Scrooge's butler.

[sarahjones]

Oh, I wanted to hear the answer(s) to Sandi’s last question!

[davidwalter]

If breathing doesn't count, because the scale only takes into account voluntary activities, why is getting hit by an asteroid on the scale? Few people choose voluntarily to be struck by space debris. I call shenanigans.

[Rubrickety]

Your probability of getting killed by an asteroid is your asterisk.

[cycoholic]

How much is a duck worth? Depends on its bill.

😂

[VancouverAvatar]

I was getting definite 'ceiling' vibes from Lee

[PianoKwanMan]

Speaking about peril, "how does the 1000th banana kill you? I feel sick"

8 haven't watched this yet, but Duckworth sounds like one of the old British car companies that got combined into British Leyland.

I jumped (with a bungee-cord attached to my legs) off the same tower on the cost of Bali 3 times in a row. Everybody else there only jumped once and they were all plastered. For some reason when I jumped backwards I was absolutely terrified instead of excited. I guess because I couldn't see where I was headed.

[FreakyRufus]

In contrast to Lee’s quip, I think it is actually very difficult to die by not breathing voluntarily. You’ll just pass out and then your involuntary functions will take over and start breathing on your behalf.

[macsnafu]

The most perilous thing I ever taught myself to do? To hold it in when I need to go! ;-)
I tried to learn how to ride a unicycle, but I've not managed it yet.

[TangoWolf]

Banzai Skydiving, but you forgot to throw the parachute pack before you jumped out of the airplane would probably be a 7.8.

[slake]

Duckworth is a street in St. John's, Newfoundland

[WilliamSmith-mxze]

0:55 I don't like cricket... I love it. Ithangyou, take your empties back to the bar.

[AndrewTBP]

About time you got Andy Zaltzman on the panel.

[BOABModels]

I knew I was right to stop doing the washing up.
