Yes! Combat school for the meeces, rats and birdies! On a serious note, never re wild urban foxes. Most are found emaciated and near death as they haven't learnt how to survive in the wild.
@@watsoncomedianThis is actually how Watership Down came about. It was based on a true story where the original rabbit warren was destroyed by a group of water voles armed with can openers and a basic understanding of Jiu Jitsu, given them by a well-meaning but ultimately misinformed uncle.
Question for Mark: Someone once asked - "why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?" In the same vein, if you were a cat (but could still converse in English), what flavours of cat food would you ask for?
There actually *_is_* mouse-flavoured (in fact, 100% mouse meat) cat food. It costs over £100 a tin, because it turns out raising mice for meat is less efficient than buying cheap cuts and by-products of the established meat / fish / vegetable industry. There's also cat food with _some_ mouse in it for about £3 a tin. But, in my experience, non-cartoon cats seem a lot more interested in birds than mice (though mice are probably easier to catch).
If we were to show a specific episode of No More Jockeys to aliens to explain the human race, which episode would you pick, and why would it definitely be The Bath Game?
Okay, so AI is okay, really. The next video recommended for me to watch was indeed, your friend and mine, series 4 episode 10 of No More Jockeys. Don't mind it.
This is great, I think it could really work as a TV format. You've got the answers, all we need now is two celebrity guests, maybe a quiz master with a mechanised chair and someone to run the audio / visuals.
What I find really cool about this content is that not only does Mark get to engage with us and but WE also get to engage with each other for our boundless questions cause Internet. And the result of this ends up in us having a more thoughtful and more fun answer to the musings of our minds and daily lives. So, eat your heart out, ChatGPT!
Another great episode. And surely this wonderful slice of life could be the media clip to explain humans to aliens? A good blend of busy (and noisy) city life at the start with the more restful, scenic parts at the end. All mixed in with one of our wisest wits explaining the answers to life's mysteries.
Thanks for explaining keyboards (and pianos)! As a rule I thank chat gpt in the hope that when the machines inevitably rise up against us, they might remember I was polite, so it’s refreshing to say thank you from a place of gratitude instead of fear for a change.

Question for Mark If I sneaked into your kitchen every night and removed one piece of cutlery, crockery or a kitchen utensil, how long would it take for you to realise what was happening?
Question: Do we actually need sparrows? If so, there's surely got to be at least one kind of bird that we can just go up to and say: "yeah sorry, turns out you're free to go, actually"
Why is the volume on car stereos inversely proportional to the music quality? You never hear cars sat at the traffic lights pumping out the Moonlight Sonata or Tame Impala.
Why is it that African painted dogs are thought to vote with sneezing rather than other more seemingly reasonable forms of democracy? (Or if this is beneficial, why don't humans also vote with sneezes?)
My gut instinct would be to show them Back to the Future. They would conclude that we’ve mastered time travel, and so we’re virtually undefeatable if they planned on invading Earth. Plus George McFly punching Biff would lead them to conclude that even if humans are meek and mild under an invading alien force we’d eventually snap and give them what for - to mess with us could mean that they end up subservient to us in the long run, as Biff is to George at the end of the film.
In case it's urgent and you can't wait for Mark's full research: Yes, but it's a simulation so complex that it needs a huge computer to simulate it. It's a really efficient computer, though, so it only needs one particle to simulate each particle of the universe. It's called "the universe". And, overall, probably Tim.

Question for Mark: Whose garden do all the peas come from? Is it a single, very generous home owner, or are many of us producing peas without our knowledge which are harvested discretely by hard-working pea gremlins?
Help Mark! How do they build Dams? I can't get my head around it. I know they divert a river to build a dam, but don't they need another dam to divert the river, so to do that they need another dam, but then they would need to divert the river to divert water from the dam that diverts water from the main dam. So for 1 dam surely an infinite about of dams are needed? Damn 🤯
Question for Mar: If you go to an urban area, what is in the middle of city blocks? is it just empty space surrounded by buildings? are the buildings occupying the whole space? I am baffled
I'm enjoying these very much! If a genie replaced each room in your home with randomly selected rooms from your friends' homes, but you were allowed to select one room to keep as it is now -- slightly biggish if -- which room would you save?
Question for Mark: Do you think we all see the world, in a visual sense, in the same way? Does a field of bluebells look different to you than it would to me? Or a plate of chips? Or my cat, Paul McCatney?

Lovely video Mark and Alex! However, at around 7:40 you mistake a Thames water lorry for a bin lorry, maybe because you were absorbed thinking about England's prospects in the Euros. What can we do to stop companies like Thames water filling our rivers with excrement?
Question: Is it humanly possible to eat a whole lemon without pulling the lemon face, and who among your comedian friends would you trust with beating that challenge?

As someone who had a pet turtle growing up, you might be surprised how much they move around in bed. They also have very sharp nails and smell like dead fish. To each his own, of course. But just wanted to let you know what you were getting into.
Serious answer, tested on 5 or 6 toddlers: hold them with their head on your left shoulder and tap the Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) from Star Wars on their back, at about half speed (dum, dum, dum, dum-dumdum, dum-dumdum, you know the one). It has _never_ failed me.

Hi Mark, when did culture die? I believe it was in 2003 when David Blaine was suspended in a perspex box above the river Thames but interested to hear your thoughts. Cheers! Dan
I'm sorry, I love Groundhog day, but it is temporal grooming. I have a question, Percy Pig, why does he appear on sweets and not on pork products? they could at least be honest.

Quick question, Mark, why didn't you call this excellent series 'Question Mark'????
'Wats-on your mind?"

Well one good reason is it wouldn't work with the ever so catchy acronym YHCIHY or maybe he just didn't want to
Humans tend to wish they could fly. What do you think birds wish they could do?
Pay capital gains tax.
Mark, I am really enjoying these little walks with you. I am continuously nervous for your cameraman's safety though
I did once save a cat from a fox, but I've saved far more birds from cats.
Which leads me to ask: Should we give the birds weapons, and training?
Yes! Combat school for the meeces, rats and birdies!
On a serious note, never re wild urban foxes. Most are found emaciated and near death as they haven't learnt how to survive in the wild.
If you’re arming the mice and the birds, you’ll start a species war.

Mr Blobby was actually mute due to past trauma, it took him many years of therapy and specialist medical care to get him to that point.

Question: Do we actually need sparrows? If so, there's surely got to be at least one kind of bird that we can just go up to and say: "yeah sorry, turns out you're free to go, actually"
