[About Cruithne, assumed to be Earth's second moon]

Rich Hall:
Who comes up with this shit? So you're telling me there's a second moon?

Stephen Fry:
There... I am!

Jeremy Hardy:
"Blue moon, I saw you standing alone". Not "with a small friend".

Rich Hall:
So why is there, uh... why is there not one romantic song with the word "Cruithne" in it? Why not "Blue Cruithne of Kentucky", or "Cruithne River", or--

Alan Davies:
No one can see it--

Stephen Fry:
BECAUSE IT WAS DISCOVERED IN NINETEEN-NINETY-FUCKING-FOUR!

Rich Hall:
9 years! 9 years to write a romantic song with the word 'Cruithne' in it.

Stephen Fry:
In the last 9 years, no romantic songs, as far as I know, have been written at all. Have they?

Alan Davies:
Bryan Adams wrote one.

Stephen Fry:
Oh, please!

Bill Bailey:
'Everything I Do, I Do It For Cruithne'?
