Eddie Izzard: Circle

Eddie:
There was Pope John if you remember, now there is Pope John Paul. The next Pope's gonna be John Paul George and we can see where they're going.

Eddie:
He did apologise for the Spanish Inquisition. He said it was far too inquisitive. Supposed to be the Spanish Casual Chat.

This is football we're talking about here, which you call bananas and you're reluctant to play it. But you play baseball, the World Series. You've won every year, America's won every year in that. Well done America.

Eddie:
Whales are intelligent. They do whale song.

Eddie:
We don't know what it means. But I think whales are travelling at 78. They're travelling at 78 speed, if we take them up to 45 speed we'll find they're singing.

Eddie:
I love you baby and if it's quite alright I love you baby, throughout the night, I love you baby, trust in me when I say.

Eddie:
Other animals could have secret talents, like tigers might be good with banjos.

Eddie:
The right-wing papers in Britain, they loved it because they could sell all the newspapers. "You frenchy, froggy, froggy, frenchy. Our lovely beefy. You frenchy, froggy, frenchy". This was a Times editorial piece.

Eddie:
But then the Roman Empire fell like this- "oh sh*t". And we went into what the historians called the Stupid F***er period. Where everyone was going -"er, I dunno. Is that a Roman road? Can we eat it?" Then there was the dark Ages. " I can't even see you! Where are you?"
