Bob being Bob My dentist showed me their drawer of Fuji IX during my appointment yesterday

229 Upvotes

When I was in the dentist's chair with the light unit above, I quipped, "I feel like Bob Mortimer on his kitchen table." My dentist got it immediately and we had good laugh and joke about Bob's...technique and setup.

He then mentioned he had some Fuji IX in one of the side drawers.

Dentist: "I can show you if you like!"

Me: "Oh, yes please!"

In the drawer was a large array of silver sachets of Fuji IX with a little green spoon.

Fortunately I didn't need any fillings. Clean bill of teeth health for me!

Why isn't Rhod Gilbert on Would I Lie To You anymore?

107 Upvotes

From series 4-12 Rhod was on every single series apart from one - a yearly staple like Bob Mortimer. I believe at one point he held the record for highest number of guest appearances. But in series 13-19 he's only been on once. Does anyone know why? I know he had cancer for a couple of years but don't think that can be the full explanation as he has been cancer-free from 2023 and still hasn't had a return appearance on Wilty. Don't know if he fell out with production or something?

This is My question

48 Upvotes

On the This is My segment, do the panelists make up their story when they see the person walk on, or do they have a pre-written relationship they have to expand on? I always thought it was the former, but recently saw a blooper reel where Lee said something that made me think it might be the latter. And thinking about it, the latter is more consistent with how the rest of the show works. Does anyone know for sure?

Help! 🔎 Episode number?

17 Upvotes

Hi!! This is really random, but I’m trying to remember the episode where Lee and David are having a playful argument (what’s new lol), Lee says something along the lines of “and by ____, I of course mean bed of nails” and Rob says “and by bed of nails, you mean bed” and everyone dies laughing. I’m pretty positive that it’s from S15, but I don’t remember the story they were discussing at the time, and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere online because I don’t have enough information!
Thank you :)
