You have to remember Lee Mack is a very very smart man he plays it down a lot but he's very smart very quick witted. He is so good at thinking of things on the spot.
Lee's stories aren't really about selling a lie anymore. They are really about the fun and performance. And the others trying to throw him off. And that's because he is amazing at it. And David's reaction at 2:00 is the perfect illustration of that. I think nobody on that panel for a second considered this to be actually true. Which is why the few occasions where it is are so surprising. Like the cracked teapot thing with Victoria.-
As a native British person, I would say the number of “old-style” keys on the key ring is totally plausible. Many people live in houses one or two hundred years old, and they can have a real mix of keys. If anything, it would be more surprising there were three different modern-style Yale keys, in my experience you would typically find those on a front door, and why would you have three different ones? The lack of any car keys is also suspicious!
A skeleton key, in the traditional meaning, is a key that opens multiple locks. Those old keys you saw are for mortis locks, and they only open one lock. Mort = dead in French, ie deadbolts.
This reminds me of work when I had tool boxes in various locations around a large site . There were many ' inherited ' from retirees and you ended up with a bunch like that .The producers , well aware of Lee's quick witted talents , just thought ' let's see him try to get out of that '.
@@Thisandthat8908 I think he means like a pobox thing at the post office. Where you rent or buy, they give you a key, and then your mails are left there. You can drive there on your way home from work and pick up your mail from the letter box etc, before heading home
@@jonenih Yeah that's what privatisation will do. Not even the U.S. has privatised its postal service, and they're like the most hyper-capitalist country on earth. Mind you, my country (Sweden) is a clear example showing that you can have shit postal services even when they're not privatised
The keys are regular keys😂😂 people of the UK love traditional businesses, wnd dont necessarily rush for new stuff. So even a building with a touchscreen biometric door, would have a shed in the back with those old keys
Jodie plays the game like every Woman in my house "It's a lie but it's going to be true" so that is all bases covered.No wonder my friends have a 100% record:)
Why did tea caddies have locks? Why was tea often kept under lock and key? Tea was first brought to Britain in the early 17th century but it was very expensive so only the rich could buy it. It was usually kept under lock and key.
Skeleton keys? They're chub lock keys and yale keys... No one noticed no car keys, no keys for any other building or asset, parents/kids house, work, garage or shed, padlock keys etc... that can't be all his keys...
This goes to the idea that Americans struggle with comedic irony. The fact there is even a debate between truth and lie. OF COURSE IT'S A LIE! That's the joke. EVERYONE on the show knows it's a lie. The fun is watching Lee try to sell it.
My parents house have old doors that lock with keys like that. Their house is very old. Please react to Claudia Winkleman. The one you did last time wasn't the funniest clip. There is a long Bob Mortimer style video on RUclips of her as well as the short usual videos.

2:35 *"... the green one is Shakin' Stevens."*
Shakin' Stevens had a hit with "Green Door" in 1981.

The producers of the show often give Lee Mack such ridiculously impossible tasks.
Great as Bob Mortimer is, the 'passed down from my father to his father...' 'Backwards in time??' bit is my single all time favourite WILTY moment.

You don't keep your car keys on the same ring as the big bunch of house keys.
@@donepearce I do.
A big give-away was Lee claiming the safe key didn’t fit the safe. So that means there were two keys, not one, that he didn’t know what they were for.
I think the bigger give away was Shaking Steven’s & Howard Jones kicking off because the community bin shed wasn’t locked.
Those were not skeleton keys, just perfectly ordinary keys. Brits have a wide variety of keys.
Beat me to it.

Lee is so fast with his witty remarks 😂
We do have lots of keys like that. Like you said England is a very old place with very old buildings.
The "old keys" or "skeleton keys" are just normal house keys. All of my house keys have looked like that.
Always brilliant, thank yous!
I so love that you guys love this British show , Don't you have anything as good as this or close to this on US TV ???

There are no mailboxes in the UK.
😂true. We barely have a postal service anymore😢😢. I remember royal mail talking about closures in 2014
there are maybe no us style outside post boxes with a flag and stuff. There are still post boxes of some sort.

Just enjoy how quick Lee Mack’s mind works
Great reaction. Would recommend Lee Mack - spelling Irish Names -Hit the road Mack tour. Lee is a brilliant stand up comedian

One of those keys was a radiator bleed key.

Skeleton keys?!?
In that episode you should watch Did Mickey Flanagan take his clothes off for a group of Women in Spain. Very funny.
Do an object box WILTY

We have more skeletons to need keys for than you do in the US.
Skeleton keys? They're chub lock keys and yale keys...
No one noticed no car keys, no keys for any other building or asset, parents/kids house, work, garage or shed, padlock keys etc... that can't be all his keys...
I have 2 keys that I use in this house for the last 41 years since I bought it. One front door key and 1 Car Key and that IS it..
None of those keys were ‘skeleton keys’.
