41:22 Well said Paul Merton! I've always thought there was a disconnect between the news media and much of the UK population with regard to royal weddings etc. The overwhelming and hysterical media coverage is not justified by the amount of interest displayed by a large percentage of British people which ranges mostly between indifference and antagonism. The response from Kevin Bridges and the audience was quite telling.

As far as I know, TV licence is required for any device which can capture BBC channels (signals). Here you are not capturing BBC signals but watching posted videos.

I love the smugness in Ken's reply to Ian's "Is a squid a mollusc?": "Noooo..." And then he goes on to jokingly mock Hislop's education, and calls the snail that the story is about, a squid. And by the way - a squid is, of course, a mollusc.
I think you got that wrong, Ken pointed out that a molluscs didn't need a shell when others asked if a squid was a mollusc, Ian then asked if a newt was a mollusc to which Ken replied with no. I'm no fan of Ken, but I think you misread that situation.
