My aunty had a long hair on her chin once and my uncle, who is not known for being subtle or overly polite, waited until she spoke and suddenly grabbed at her chinhair and pulled it. She screamed "Auw!", he yelled; You have hair there?! And that's how that birthdayparty suddenly turned unexpectedly memorable.
@@danielvandam Often, no matter whether Lee is telling the truth or a lie, he'll add ridiculous bits in just for comedy effect.

@@mkphilly Well. Robert requested to bring Edward onto the show. And Edward agreed. Meaning it was a mutual interaction. Don't see what's cruel about it tbh
@@patrickfrancis7560 the guests don't make request to bring the person. The producer of the show decides which story they will bring "witness/victim" to.
@@budle89 i think you misunderstood my point. The producers may make the final choice, but guests request people to come on. The producers don't have insider knowledge into these people's lives, so how would they know Robert had a crush on Edward?
@@patrickfrancis7560 if Rinder contacted in person for the purpose of what Edward had to do in the show. I'd imagine Edward would be reluctant to agree because that would be embarassing for both Rinder and Edward. I don't think he would agreed to come to the show if he was asked by Rinder without knowing the story why he had to be there when he didn't even bother to reply Rinder's FB message. It's easier for the team from the show to get the guests and asked them themselves as a way to "surprise" the guest panellists. Rinder could've just gave the team a list of people involved in the stories he gave them. Contacts in the form of phone number or even links to said person's social media. Anyway... I don't know for sure the methods how to get those people. Could be through the panelists or the team themselves could do it as a surprise or combination of both methods. Just playing detectives trying to make senses of the clues and reactions people in the video gave us.
I always assumed the one who was telling the truth asked them to come in, though maybe they just provide the name and others details if they have them and the runners on the show get in touch
There is something moving about this. Just how embarrassed both men look. Hilarious and heart-breaking all at once. Some of us never get over our first crush ...
I love the raw emotion on Robert's face, his biting his lip in advance of the reveal, and being unable to talk, paired with the teasing he got makes me laugh so hard every time! This is such s big moment for any human who has ever had a secret big crush.
Can you imagine being Edward? You went to high school with this kid Rob, didn't know him well. Maybe don't even remember him by now. After all, you haven't seen the guy since 93. Then one day, Rob calls you up and says "Hey, so I'm gonna be on national TV and I need you to be there so i can tell everyone I've had a crush on you for the last 20 years."
Rob didn't know if Edward would be invited. The panelists wrote some sort of list of truth. The team then choose some stories to invite the people involved in the stories. They maybe invited more than 3 people per story but with pending confirmation. And I'm pretty sure if somebody I went to school with became nationally famous, I'd remember the person.
@@budle89 Even if someone becomes famous, you might not remember them. Take a well done celebrity, let's say Liam Payne. What if you went to the school as Liam but you didn't know him. But he might know you. That is possible. He might be in the year below you or maybe you're one of the more popular, well-known kids(i.e. you're the captain of the football team or something) whilst he's just some kid. You might not have even met Liam and even if you did, you might be in different friendship groups. Unless you're saying that you know everyone who you went to school with.
@@jietroraximoff2805 well, I live in a culture where everyone knows everyone in the school. You do not know everyone well. But I'd know they went to the same school I went to if I saw their old pict. And if somebody I only know their face got famous, my classmates will point out the guy.
I think we had about 50 pupils in my year. So ofc I knew all of them, although I was only close with a handful of them, still, I would remember going to school with them, if any of them became famous. One of them actually turned out to become semi-well-known in South Korea via a popular TH-cam channel :D
@@jietroraximoff2805 I think if a celebrity went to your school, even if you didn't attend at the same time, you'd be well aware. Everyone bangs on if someone remotely famous goes to their school. I went to the same school as Sir Paul Smith but like 30 years later lol.
Gunther3 watching the earlier ones you can tell they were a lot more competitive whereas now you can see they’re much more relaxed and seem to enjoy the experience a lot more.
@@Sampsonoff They don't win any money (AFAIK), so I don't really see the point in getting agitated more than a few seconds over winning or losing a point.
That moment when you become completely engrossed by Richard's lie and decide he's telling the truth and then realize he's not even the one on trial on here.
Incredible, a usually supremely confident judge becomes a bumbling, stumbling mess and a bag of nerves. That was the biggest giveaway for me. The power of a crush.😅😂.
Is it because parking space is expensive there? Or is it because of the general population is close to middle-low class? Or is it because the public transportation is well-managed and well-established?
Lee’s story would’ve been way more plausible if he claimed the guest was married to a man, but I’m like 95% sure the writers give him these impossible scenarios to both see him squirm and to see him try to talk his way out of it
you chose to do that thing where somebody just quotes sth from the video in the comments, and you chose a Lee Mack moment, and you also chose to not take that "Not now!" bit, and at that very point, I'm being disappointed in your decision making. :P
No trace of homophobia, just genuine 'I didn't know you liked me'. I couldn't see if they shook hands (remember those days?). Touching reminder of those days when everything was vaguely embarrassing.
I felt really weird the first time I saw this like I thought people would mock him for getting emotional, I am so pleased that this isn't the case. Everyone seems to agree that it was a very sweet moment !
Edward is like: "I am Edward, and famous, gay, celebrity Barrister, Rob Rinder, had the hots for me in school, so bad, that's he's been basing his passwords on me for years." Meanwhile, Rob Rinder has regressed back into a shy, closeted teen. That meek "hi Edward..." is probably exactly what he wanted to say back then but was too scared to.
Stuart Cullen To be fair, the camera cuts off while Edward's directly in front of Robert, maybe they had an interaction when he was to the side of the desk, albeit a brief one, because as StrawberryKitKat pointed out, there's a time and a place for a chat and while recording a panel show isn't one of them
I've seen a few episodes where the panelist shook hands with the guest. No, they can't have a chat for ten minutes, but a five second handshake is obviously fine.
Hmm.... Robert has only just very recently in the last few days announced that he and his husband are getting divorced!.... There's an opening for him now! 😊
Wow, after the reveal Robert reminds me of when the school started gossiping about my crush and got us together in the same room for about 10 minutes... then she left and I cried in the bathroom. "ITS TRUE!"
I've got a feeling I've might have commented on this before, but "thrower" is the right, general term for an athlete in javelin, shot-put, discus and hammer. So Lee was wrong.
She stated that he was an event official, which would make it easy to track him down -- records are kept of who did what at every professional sporting event.
It was obvious that her story was a lie when she started making up his history as a competitive athlete. She wouldn't know any of that from their brief interaction.
Missed opportunity, Lee Mack could have listed one of the big events the child’s mother missed was the birth 😂 would have raised a laugh maybe as she would have to have been there !
I love how Lee is always willing to blow his story for the sake of comedy.
Agreed, but then there are some stories that are just so ludicrous that he knows there's not much point even trying!
@@heidil851 If he can't reasonably try to lie successfully, may as well go all in for the laughs.

That's kind of the point of the game
Isn't that the point? To get Lee to spin the biggest most ridiculous story ever?

And me. Who wouldn't!
That was a hell of a poker face until the reveal.

Incredibly heavy frisbee throwing, I want to watch this new sport next olympics
To be fair, I don't know if I would keep it together if I saw my teenage crush and they still looked attractive.
I don't think he did.
2:18 - the delivery of that "no comment" is absolutely perfect.
It was masterfully funny
In another WILTY, Mitchell asks one of the guest's address, and (I think) Miranda intervenes with "Okay, calm down David"
Robert wouldn't look at him longer for a second, even during his story where he had a great poker face. Man he's flushed.
His face was red the second it started
This is genuinely one of the sweetest moments in the history of this show
Best part is when Robert finally manages to say hello and Edward says "hi" back before Robert's even done talking.
The swans’ escaped...
Seeing Judge Rinder like this is insane hahaha
🦧 I thought it creepy rather than sweet
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat I bet Edward didn't hang around after the show !
That Richard Osman bit about Luke Maté was quite possibly the quickest funniest thing I've ever heard. Lee Mack worthy
Clancy Too Fancy I thought exactly the same (lee mack worthy). He should definitely host this show. Sorry rob
Also, "Look after this bear." .
He is so fast.
Not to say that I don’t appreciate his quick wit, but why would a human rights lawyer work for Médecins Sans Frontières?

Big Ed's wife tracks them down for a living.

What a great plan! Not very good at tracking down and stalking your crush? Become a famous comedian and get the WILTY research team to!
But remember that time James Acaster's sworn enemy came on and he said he was furious he's gotten on the show?

lee mack has got a tell when he lies he blinks his eyes twice. haha lol.
I knew it was Robert because my passwords are still all my crush’s name with a love heart 😂😂😂😂
Don't know what it is with the pipe jokes but I love them. Bill Bailey and Lee Mack do them brilliantly!
No need for passwords in 1993? I had passwords as far back as the 1980s and I am sure they predate that.
They do. They're tigers.
That hopeful look and rejected handshake/hug at the end was real sad.
Spec how do you know it was rejected?
Yes, from the footage it looks like he rejected his handshake :(
one thing I'm wondering now is how did they contact Edward to get him on this show? must be quite a shock lol
denise totally had me believing her, but i just don't think they could find edward if it was true.
She stated that he was an event official, which would make it easy to track him down -- records are kept of who did what at every professional sporting event.
When did a quick look at Edward's build before she picked an event to say he did was a tell.
It was obvious that her story was a lie when she started making up his history as a competitive athlete. She wouldn't know any of that from their brief interaction.
Lee mack got a case of the blinks here
"His name is Luke.... Martay, do you know him?"
Me - No, but I now know your passwords
OMG lol
Could involve numbers
This was So adorable! And Lee as usual...😂
I wish Lee would actually give a story that's somewhat believable for once
Or at the very least, equally unbelievable but true
David always asks Lee the last of them all, maybe to let him make up his story, maybe he knows to save the laughs for the last. But it's funny.
I was completely sold on this big sweet lunk and his lunky friends moving that woman's car for her.
Aww. That ending!! I ship it. 🤣🤣

This is one of my favourite wilty moments now
What an introduction after years. Lol
3:05 augh Richard drives me crazy with this, so good!
I loved this so much I started using my crush’s name for my passwords and it’s actually genius because it’s impossible to guess
Unless you reveal the name on national television.
I thought Denise's story was true, the way she sounded so irritated when the other team kept interrupting her story.
“Would you still?” 😁😁😁
Lee is blinking an awful lot there
I really wanted it to be lee XD
tom coburn lol we all knew it wasnt lee mate
Lucy T I know I’m saying I wanted it to be him cus it was hilarious

Stories aside - what a bloody cast!
That was both incredibly awkward and kind of adorable
