Bob Mortimer’s got a new book out so what better time to share this all-time hall of famer TV moment
The great Bob Mortimer has a new(ish) book out, a comic crime novel called The Long Shoe and very excited we are about it too.

We mention it not only because it would make for a very satisfying bulge in our Christmas stocking but because it’s a good excuse to share this all-time classic moment from BBC1’s Would I Lie To You.
Again!
On the unlikely event you haven’t already seen it, you’re in for a treat. And if you have then you probably won’t be able to resist another watch. Just for old time’s sake …
Bob Mortimer is trending, which is all the excuse we need to rewatch one of our all-time favourite TV moments. #WouldILietoYou pic.twitter.com/wNOKXGNm5g

No matter how many times we watch it, we’re still surprised they guess ‘true’. But not half as surprised (or horrified) as we were to find out that episode was seven years ago. The horror.
He’s my favourite guest on the show…his tales are legendary and as its him you almost always believe it could be true! Even this one has me thinking!!!

Bob’s stories are brilliant but they are taken to a new level by David’s questions & reactions

What makes it even better is that Bob didn’t know what was on the card as it was a lie. A great story to create on the spot .
