The production crew of WILTY will always have an easy time with Lucy. Her life is full of awkwardness 😅
I find her a little dopey
@@viliabone1952 her dopiness is obviously contrived
I believe that the word “ditzy” only appeared in the OED after the compiler, Susie Dent, saw her on TV.
I'd love a series with Lucy and Bob Mortimer as permanent guests. It would be constant chaos
Throw in Claudia Winkleman as well.
I'd paid me munny! Yeah, that sounds about right, get your water time girl.
Can’t believe David wasted that anecdote when they must be desperate for material at this point - like Lee said.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How is this possible? How could the starter not notice the crowd screaming at the idiot woman to get out of the water? How could the judges not stop the race as they see two swimmers in one lane? How could they not notice that one competitor started from part way down the pool instead of from the starting blocks? How could she be declared third since posting a time requires starting the clock by leaving the starting block which she was never on? How could she be sold a ticket to use a pool that was already closed for the swimming competition?
I have no doubt she told the producers this nonsensical story, but surely critical thinking skills would quickly tell them this could only exist, as told, in the imagination of the teller, but not in the real world. It could only happen in a world in which an entire gaggle of event organizers, judges at both ends of the pool, and a large crowd of spectators were blind, deaf, and dumb. I call BS on the story as told, even if WILTY producers are gullible enough to allow it.
I have to agree how did the starter not realise that there was a swimmer not 'on the blocks' or in the start position before firing the gun?
@@simonkevnorris Yes. There are stories that are ludicrous, but ultimately plausible, like any of Bob's stories, but there is too much about this story as told that is simply not credible. I can buy that she was an member of the crowd who somehow fell into the pool, swam to the end to get out, that is plausible. I can buy that it wasn't a proper race with a starter's gun, but some kids just racing each other for fun. But as told, the whole buying a ticket for an unavailable pool, no starter nor judge hearing her go into the water, not seeing her and immediately stopping the race, the whole crowd not screaming at her to get out, and then to be declared third place finisher and no one noticing she is not 12. Too much that is BS all the way through the story.
Council-run pools normally have multiple pools but only one reception. You can often access all the pools from the same changing room.
You're also forgetting that humans are spectacularly good at making assumptions based on very little evidence, and not reacting to things if nobody else does.
All this situation would need is Lucy taking a wrong turn out of the changing room, the audience not paying attention or thinking it must be part of the preparations, and the starter being too distracted by their job of shepherding a bunch of 12 year olds into line (and resisting the urge to shoot them) to fail to spot the lone female swimmer halfway up one of the lanes.
Lucy B. Is a terrible person who started to break up her marriage on national television. Can’t get much more crude than that. Mean
uh what. That isn't even remotely true.
Lucy oxygen thief
After watching Lucy in Taskmaster I 100% believed her story.
David really did throw that away lol
Seriously. It would have been a great tricky one because nobody would be at fault for thinking David would never go to a public pool!!
"Then a gun went off."
Council pools in Hull are tougher places than I imagined.
😂😂😂
I once overtook a turd in a council run pool in Hull.
For all those that are complaining this is not possible
Local club competitions are far less formal and they only close part of the pool. The public can still do laps in the lanes next to competition. More likely that is what happened
I had zero doubt it was true. Such a Lucy thing to do! 😅
on one hand, yes...
on the other hand, why would the organizer then start the race if she was already in the pool?
I once crossed the finish line of an orienteering race, also in third place.
Unfortunately as I was fairly new to it I had lost my way a bit on the beginners race and crossed the wrong finish line - the one for the elite runners.
Sadly that did not result in a medal.
I feel like that kind of thing would happen fairly regularly in beginner orienteering
@@iambicpentakill971 I think you could be right there!
I won some german rifle shooting contest in bavaria, in about 3 minutes. I thought it was just some fair game attraction and not wanting other people to wait behind me, i just hurried seeing my neighbour shoot. Other than recoil and using an ironsight i didnt know anything about guns and just copied the guy next to me.
Well, getting lost while competing in an event that is all about not getting lost does seem like grounds for exclusion from the medal podium to me. 🤣
Lucy’s stories are almost as crazy as Bob Mortimers
Going swimming isn't no where near the same as playing theft and shrubbery 😂
@carl5652 This story isn't just "going swimming". That's first. Second, this isn't remotely the only weird thing she's done. I listen to the podcast she does with Sam Campbell and she's definitely a weirdo born for shows like this.
@@MaialeenConch!
"So, I got in the pool (pause) do you want to know more?" ... "then a gun went off." There's only one Lucy Beaumont - I love her! 😁 She's on the way to becoming the female Bob Mortimer 😅
I knew it was true, because I’ve seen “Meet the Richardsons” and “Taskmaster Series 16”. That anecdote is peak Lucy Beaumont.
Anyone else it would have been a lie, but with Lucy... you don't need to make up funny stories.
Probably wouldn't have been a lie with Bob Mortimer. Would have been even more bizarre.
Anyone else? Um, Bob Mortimer has entered the chat.
When the gun went off the kids swam for their lives 😂
I don't understand how this is possible: if there's a swimming gala going on, either the pool is shut to the public (so reception wouldn't have let her pay) or the public are limited to certain areas (in which case reception would have told her). Also, if someone gets in the pool early in a race, then they'd be disqualified anyway.
Plus, wouldn't the organisers question the random person who's just got into one of the swimming gala lanes?
Just a mistake probably, with an area supposed to be blocked off but not blocked off. Could be they wanted to get her out of the water but didnt get to do so in time as the kids were already ready to race
While I empathise with your confusion, you're forgetting to action in to the equation humanity's seemingly endless capacity to not notice obvious clues, make assumptions that are clearly ridiculous in hindsight, and generally make a godawful mess of things. 🤣
This was a council swimming bath. In Hull.
I'm not sure Lucy could replace Mitchell or Mack but she'd never run out of anecdotes. The challenge for production would be coming up with weird enough false stories.
Do I want to know more? Why yes I do
A Yorkshire lass paid her money of course she is going to swim.
second only to Bob Mortimer
I just can't see how it's possible that she would be allowed in a pool with a swim meet going on. The first rule would be no one is allowed in the pool before the gun goes off. The only logical thing might be no one noticed, it was a backstroke event and somehow she was also doing back stroke? They have refs to make sure no one is swimming the wrong stroke, hitting the ends, doing proper turns, etc. It must have been the laziest run swim meet I've ever seen.
On top of that, how could she have come third. When i was 11 and swimming, I would be faster than all adults that weren't competitive swimmers or had been competitive swimmers... Makes no sense
It could have been a more casual or low level swim meet than yours. And we don't know how much Lucy swims. Maybe she swims a lot or did swim competitively when she was younger.
Exactly, there's just no way this is true as told. Plus if you just got into the pool when a competition was about to take place someone would yell at you to get out. And of course, that lane would have had a competitor in it, there are no randomly empty lanes in the middle of a pool
There are too many impossibilities in this story for it to be real.
I love Lucy Beaumont.
She's beautiful and funny and sweet and kind.
The world is better for having her in it. ❤
Is this the same Lucy from the one show? She's very different looking if so?
I'm not sure about The One Show but Lucy was married to Jon Richardson and appeared on some of the '8 out of 10 cat's shows and they also had their own series 'Meet the Richardsons'.
I'm probably going to get metaphorically slaughtered for this but am I the only one who thinks she's absolutely gorgeous?
Now that can't have been an official gala, more likely some school swimming lessons end of course races or something.
As even in level 3 or 4 meets there are tight protocols for the events to ensure times are valid for Swim England records.
Crickey, she's a bit northern. It's got to be act, surely?
why is it called a gala? were the kids in suits?
also, I can believe she would enter the pool when there was a competition about to begin... I find it harder to believe that they started the competition when she was already in the pool
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish I could download the whole series somewhere.
Oh, use a good VPN or you'll get caught.
Same
@@Djehoo a lot of it on youtube
BBC Iplayer...
@@verycurlyo not British...
Clearly a lie 😂
Jon & Lucy had a very shallow relationship. No wonder it split up.
