Live English Lesson - SUNDAY 16th July 2017 - Learn English - With Mr Duncan in England

yes that is my address for my youtube channel and here we are all again today

together reunited on the World Wide Web good afternoon and welcome hi everybody

this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay

I hope so are you happy I hope so so here we are again on a Sunday first of

all can I apologise because last week I wasn't here I had some slight problems

here that I had to sort out also last Sunday I was at the top of a tree with

mr. Steve cutting some of the branches off one of my conifers so I was very

busy last Sunday I had some things that I had to sort out and also I had to help

mr. Steve with one of our big trees in the garden so that's what I was doing

last Sunday of course I was with you on Monday I did a short live stream on

Monday just to explain why I wasn't here but we are together once again live on

YouTube thanks a lot for joining me today once

again sorry for last Sunday to those who were waiting for me I did have one or

two people say mr. Duncan where were you yeah mr. Duncan we were waiting for you

last Sunday but you didn't appear on the Internet

what happened well I've already explained what happened so I I do

apologize very much for that welcome to a Sunday it's very dull damp

and dismal today which is a pity because we've had some lovely weather recently

we've had some lovely hot summer days but today it is very dull damp and

dismal look at those words they are all pretty pretty negative words very

negative and dull something that is lifeless or dark damp something that is

soaked it is wet it is clammy it is unpleasant and of course dismal dismal

something that is dark or dull or unpleasant something that's not very

nice to look at we can say it is dismal so today sadly we have no sunshine it is

a dull damp dismal day here in England so I do apologise we're not going

outside today sadly I won't be going out into the garden because today

unfortunately it is raining we've had a lot of rain here today so as I've

already mentioned it is dull damp and dismal alright I think we're all clear

on that I have had some complaints during the week besides the message is

asking where I was last Sunday I've also

someone I've had someone write to me saying mr. Duncan sometimes you repeat

yourself especially when you are saying hello to your viewers you seem to repeat

yourself over and over again when you are saying hello mr. Duncan sometimes

you are like a broken record now I must say I think that is very unfair one of

the reasons why I like to say hello to my viewers is because you have been with

me for all of these years don't forget I've been here doing this for over 10

years on YouTube so I really like to return the fact that you have been here

supporting me and it is because of you you are the reason why I come back every

week to do my live streams so that is the reason why I am here I am only here

because of you so I love saying hello to my to my students and also my viewers

all around the world so that's the reason why I do say hello to many of my

viewers and many of those who are watching today for example in the live

chat so I will be saying hello to some people so I do apologise to those who

think sometimes I am like a broken record but I can say now that sometimes

I do repeat myself but of course don't forget we always have new viewers

joining me all the time so for some people they might discover this live

stream without knowing what it is so sometimes I have to explain what this is

so those who have just joined me will know what is going on so that is the

problem that is one of the things about doing something live and doing something

for a long time so because I'm here for two hours I sometimes have to explain

the same thing again and again it's a little bit like learning English really

because when you learn English it is very good

to repeat things this is one of my tips for those who are learning English never

be afraid to repeat things if you are learning new words if you are trying to

remember things if you are trying to get words to stay in your brain then it is

good to repeat things never be afraid to repeat things that you are learning or

things that you are reading especially when you are trying to remember them

lots of things coming up today lots of news first of all a few days ago I had a

special visitor we hosted mr. Steve's mum

yes mr. Steve's mum came to stay mr. Steve's mum stayed here a few days

ago and we had a lovely time do you want to see where we went we had we had some

lovely day trips we went to a place called the long mynd there it is the

long mynd in Shropshire not very far away from where I live but this is a

beautiful area lots of beautiful green hills and the views from the top of

these hills is absolutely stunning so there it is this is some video footage

that I shot on my mobile phone so this place you can see now is called

the long mynd and there are some sheep they look very happy and content in fact

they were sitting right next to the car and there is another view of the long

mynd in a moment you will see mr. Steve and his mum walking along in the

distance there in a very far distance you can just see the wrekin so that is

where I live near the wrekin and there I am walking along walking along the long

mynd long mynd means long Mountain and there is the view and look

can you see in the distance there is mr. Steve with his mother walking along the

top of the long mynd if you look just to the right you can see some houses in the

distance that place is called church Stretton Church Stretton and there it is

a close-up of church Stretton a very beautiful place very close to the

long mynd very scenic so there there it is look at that

mr. Steve's mum came to stay for a few days looking across towards the

mountains and there is the wrekin once again in the distance just towards the

top left and there is mr. Steve with his mum walking along it was a beautiful day

even though it was very cloudy the weather was lovely it was quite warm

quite humid hopefully in a moment we will get to see mr. Steve and his mum

close up but where are you mr. Duncan why can't we see you well you can't see

me because I'm the one doing the filming that's the reason why oh look at that

some some crows are gathering above one of the hills so there another shot taken

at the long wind whilst mr. Steve and his mum were enjoying a walk there they

go off into the sunset off into the distance sadly there is no sunset just

lots of cloud so mr. Steve's mum came to stay with us for a few days she had a

lovely time and I must say mr. Steve's mum has a lot of energy in fact she has

a lot more energy than I do I was complaining at this moment I was

complaining because I was feeling a little tired but mr. Steve's mum just

wanted to keep walking and walking so I think it's safe to say that mr. Steve's

mom has more energy well certainly more energy than I do and there is the wrekin

once again in the distance can you see it right in the distance and that is

near to where I live another shot a little closer giving you a a sense of

the landscape so this particular place is very scenic very wild you really

should come here in the winter in the winter this place is amazing it's really

cold and very windy very few people come up here during the winter only the

bravest of walkers will come to the long mynd during the winter months because it

gets very wild here as you can imagine Iah Muhammad says boring bye bye I love

saying goodbye to people there you go then well you don't have to watch it

he's gone now so there's mr. Steve and his mum I think they're waiting for a

bus it looks like they're waiting for a bus I have news for them there aren't

any buses up here hi there

so there we go that was our little trip to one of the local landmarks around

this area a place called the long mynd I'm sure later you will be looking it up

on the Internet I'm sure later you will be checking on

Google to find out where the long mynd is talking of Google have you ever

googled yourself have you ever gone on to Google and put your own name into the

search engine have you ever done that I have and I must admit I did get some

very interesting results I did get some interesting results from

my search when I entered my own name a little bit later on we are going to do

just that I am going to put my name into Google I am going to put mr. Duncan into

Google and I'm going to see what we get I'm going to do it live I have done it

before but today I thought it would be interesting to put mr. Duncan into

Google and see what appears but have you ever done that have you ever put your

name or maybe a name of someone you know or maybe the place in which you live

have you ever put it into Google as a search have you ever searched for

yourself so that is one of the questions I'm asking you today have you ever

googled yourself a little bit later on I will Google mr. Duncan just to see what

happens so the live chat is up in running we have lots of people here

today in a few moments we're going to have a look at some video footage some

video clips from many of my lessons of course on my youtube channel there are

lots of video lessons and just in case you were wondering all of my video

playlists are under this video so underneath this video you can find all

of my video lessons teaching you the English language all

under this video you can check those later on if you wish we're gonna have a

look at one of my lessons that I did during October 2013 and also we are

going to take a look at excerpts from my full English lessons as well so all at

to come also you may have noticed behind me there are some questions on the board

so first of all have you ever googled yourself another thing I thought would

be interesting to talk about today if you wish to if you want to do you know

any British TV programs are you aware of any British TV shows do you watch

British television programs so are there any British TV shows that you know do

you know any British TV shows and when we talk about TV shows we are talking

about TV programs made in Britain so anything really

anything that's made in England or maybe something made in Scotland or maybe

Wales or Northern Ireland anything made in Britain or the UK do

you know any British TV shows a little bit later on I will show you some

British TV shows yes all of that coming later on as well we have so much stuff

to do today also I have some big news for you it looks as if I am going to get

new neighbors per person who lives next door to me has decided to sell their

house I don't know why I don't think it's my fault

I don't think that living next door to me is all that bad to be honest so I

don't think it's my fault that my neighbors are moving but they are and

they are selling their house so it looks as if very soon I'm going to get some

new neighbours oh my gosh new neighbors coming here

very soon and can you see the way I spell neighbor

you will notice that there is a you the letter U in neighbor because of course

the spelling is British English spelling so very soon I have a new neighbor but

who will it be I must admit I'm feeling very nervous

because of course sometimes neighbors can be very good and sometimes neighbors

can be very bad and annoying so very soon I am going to get a new neighbor

living next door to me but who will it be

I don't know let's have a little look at the live chat let's have a look live

lots of people watching in Vietnam mr. Duncan

what is cynic cynic a person who is a cynic is a person who always looks at

the negative or the the dark side of something the negative side a cynical

person always questions everything around them they are they tend to be

very negative a person who has a negative view of things or they think

maybe there are hidden reasons for things occurring they are often

described as being a cynic cynic a person is cynical Pedro is here hello

mr. Duncan you live near a mountainous area

I don't live too far from the mountains that you saw earlier

I don't live very far away in fact I think I can see them from my house even

though they are very far away Lian lui agrees with me

thank you very much Lian yes mr. Duncan I agree repeating makes us learn faster

yes I agree as well because as I mentioned earlier many people are very

afraid they are scared they are very worried about repeating things again and

again but I always say that one of the main parts of learning anything new is

repetition never be afraid to repeat things and of course that includes my

video lessons you can watch my lessons many many times the more you repeat it

the more will go into your head the more you will remember so thank you Leon for

agreeing with me there are some people who disagree but whatever mr. Duncan

what is the time there you can see the clock down there that is the live clock

it is now coming up to half-past two now we are going to have a look at an

excerpt from one of my October lessons that I did in 2013 many people have

asked about my special lessons that I did way back in 2013 and I did them over

the whole of October so I did 31 lessons in October and what you are about to see

is the first-ever dunctober lesson dunctober of course is a

combination of Duncan and October and it's worth mentioning that in this video

there is a very special guest.

do you remember that were you around in 2013 when I did my special October

lesson so there it was a clip of my first ever October lesson that I did in

2013 it was a very special month way back in 2013 when I did a lesson every

day so there were actually 31 lessons that I did during October 2013 so I hope

you enjoyed that and of course mr. Lomax did you see mr. Lomax was also in the

video many people are asking many people always ask who is mr. Lomax mr. Duncan

who is he

mr. Lomax is one of my friends that get involved now and again and he happens to

be a monkey Monica says I am NOT a morning person mr. Duncan I feel the

same about getting up in the morning I hate waking up in the morning I hate

getting out of bed in the morning because I always feel so groggy I always

feel so sleepy so tired so I don't like waking up too early there's nothing

worse than having to wake up very early in the morning one of the worst things

to do is if you have to catch a plane if you have to get to the airport for a

very early flight now that to me is one of the worst things you have to do so

you have to get it very early maybe four o'clock or five o'clock in the morning

and then you have to travel to the airport because you are catching a very

early plane so I hate that I don't like waking up too early I normally wake up

at around about 8 o'clock in the morning so that's my my normal waking up time a

lot of people joining in now I think they are watching from the beginning of

course you can follow this from the beginning you can rewind this actual

livestream if you are watching it now because YouTube

is amazing talking of YouTube because YouTube is owned by Google a little bit

later on I am going to Google myself I'm going to put mr. Duncan into the Google

search engine and I'm going to see what happens when I search myself so have you

have you ever googled yourself have you ever looked for yourself on the Internet

some people say that if you do that you are very narcissistic you are very

self-centered and egotistical but I think it's fun I don't think there's

anything wrong with looking for yourself on Google nothing wrong with it so a

little bit later on I am going to Google myself right now I think we should have

shall we have a Flash word yes we will have a Flash word and then after that we

are going to have a look at today's mystery idioms yeah the mystery idioms

are back and we will be taking a look at those very soon but right now let's have

a flash word

today's Flash word will be done it will be given it will be read out in the

living room that's nice oh look a change of scenery now we are going to change

the scenery slightly so here I am now sitting in my living room and we have

yes we have a flash word to show you can you see it I hope so I hope it is clear

on your screen so today's first flash word is stalemate

stalemate stalemate stalemate is an english noun and verb the word stalemate

is an english word that in noun form means to reach a point where there is no

opportunity to continue stalemate refers to there being no possible further

action or progress the negotiations between the workers and their employee

ended in stalemate a situation in which further action or progress by opposing

or competing parties seems impossible in the game of chess a position counting as

a draw in which a player is not in check but cannot move except in to check in

other words the other person cannot win the other person cannot win as a verb

the word stalemate means to do something that brings about the actual stalemate

so stalemate can be used as both a noun and a verb to reach a point where no

further action or progress is possible stalemate

we will often hear about political negotiations between leaders of

countries and quite often they will debate or they will talk and perhaps at

some point they will reach a moment where they cannot continue because

neither will agree so one party will not agree with the

other one they will not come to a solution they cannot reach a solution so

we can describe that situation as being stalemate I hope you enjoyed our first

flash word for today and now we're going back into the studio by the way mr.

steve is in the garden today so you might actually see mr. Steve walking

around behind me at some point okay let's go back

it's a very busy one today a very very busy busy lesson and there

here I am here I'm Banach so I have a new neighbor soon my my neighbor my

current neighbor has just put their house on the market and I'm sure it will

sell very quickly because lots of people want to live around here because it's

very scenic so I might be getting a new neighbor soon but who will it be I must

admit I feel a little nervous about that but not to worry I will be as kind and

as friendly as I can to my new neighbor I will welcome them to the neighborhood

so there is no problem there back to the live chat because we have lots of people

queuing up now on the live chat let's have a look

fatty-fatty says hello everybody practice makes perfect if someone wants

to make a conversation in English I am ready lots of people are very eager

these days to learn English English is a growing language growing all the time

lela lela rude ani says yes mr. duncan more than once I have googled myself I

don't think there's anything wrong with googling yourself if you want to see

what the Internet has about you or about me I think it's fair I think it's okay

to look onto the onto the Internet and have a little peep have a little look to

find out what the Internet has stored about you why not mr. Duncan

I need to learn too much or very much maybe very much is a better way of

expressing that Estella says I googled myself on Facebook to see how many

people with my name there were ah that's very good it's

amazing if you go onto the Internet and certainly if you think you have an

unusual name maybe you think your name is very unusual you might be surprised

to find that there are many people in the world who share your name so yes I

think that's quite an interesting point to make

Thank You Estella Estella Viloria who apparently has googled herself there is

some big news coming today just in case you are a viewer of one particular TV

programme Doctor Who do you ever watch Doctor Who Doctor Who is a British TV

show and today they will be announcing the producers of the program are going

to announce the new Doctor Who have you ever watched Doctor Who it's a very

popular program Doctor Who started in 1963 and it's still running now

fifty-four years later so 54 years Doctor Who has been running with a

slight break of course because at the end of the 1980s they stopped making the

program and then they started making it again in the late 1990s if I remember

rightly there was a feature film and then they started making the TV show

again so today they will be announcing the new actor who will be playing Doctor

Who and apparently lots of people think that the new Doctor Who will be a female

a female Doctor Who for the first time ever

a lot of people have their own suggestions their own ideas who will be

the new Doctor Who this will be the thirteenth actor the thirteenth actor to

play Doctor Who apparently do you ever watch doctor there are lots of

interesting TV shows made here in Britain there is Doctor Who for those

who aren't sure and that is a DVD taken from one of the very first stories this

particular story comes from 1964 so this is the very early days of Doctor Who do

you ever watch it I can't watch it much nowadays I used to watch it when I was a

child so I used to watch Doctor Who when I was very little and it used to scare

me so much it was a really scary program so children of my age when I was about

seven or eight I used to watch Doctor Who all the time even though it used to

scare me so much I used to go behind the sofa I used to hide behind the sofa

because I was so afraid there are of course lots of British TV shows around

some of them I'm going to mention right now now I am a very big fan of satire I

like satire satire means to make fun of something or to have or make jokes about

a certain thing so these are two TV shows that I watched many years ago when

they are on and these particular shows are satires of the news so these two

programs satire the news they make fun they are sarcastic towards the way in

which news is reported so those are two programs that I used to watch have you

ever seen them are you familiar with these TV program

let's have a look at another one I'm sure many people will be familiar with

this TV show the office of course originally a British program but of

course there was also a version made in the USA so there are two versions of

this TV program the original version was made in Britain it is a British TV

program and then later there was an American version a version made in the

USA starring that guy the one with the beard Ricky Gervais --ts can you see him

there he is thought Ricky Gervais is the star of the

office have you ever watched the office it is a comedy show talking about and

showing life in a typical British office another TV show now this is also satire

Alan Partridge have you ever heard of Alan Partridge a very popular TV show in

the 1990s it also was made into a movie as well so there it is I'm Alan

Partridge have you ever seen it and of course we couldn't talk about British TV

shows without mentioning this programme of course yes mind your language mind

your language a British TV show made in the 1970s and 1980s and this TV

programme takes a humorous look at a group of students who are learning

English as a Second Language many of my viewers many of you have watched this

now on YouTube and this is a British TV programme made many years ago

in the late 1970s believe it or not but very popular very popular now finally I

don't know where to start explaining this here is a TV show that was made in

the early 1980s and this covers something that is very hard to explain

if you are not familiar with this type of performance now you could see on the

cover of this DVD there are two ladies two elderly ladies can you see them

their names are Dame Hilda Brackett and doctor evadne hinge they are known as

hinge and bracket and they were very very popular during the 1970s and 1980s

they appeared a lot on British television now the thing to note about

these two ladies is that they are not actually ladies they are actually men

pretending to be ladies something that is very unique to British humour so when

we talk about British humour quite often more often than not it

involves men dressing up as ladies and pretending to be ladies so there it is a

TV show that I used to watch and I still do in fact it's very funny very humorous

and very entertaining as well dear ladies is something I used to watch

starring hinge and bracket when a man dresses up as a woman for entertainment

we call it drag drag so when you do a drag performance you are a man dressing

up as a woman and performing as a woman this is very unique to British humour

when you think of British humour you always think of

men dressed as women so there we go plenty to keep you occupied on a Sunday

afternoon I think back to the live chat now men dressed as women

aah Oh Deary me I'm sure I'll get complaints about that mr. Duncan

please send a special big hello to murabba leila says can you send a big

special hello no robber mr. Duncan and murabba mr. Duncan indeed

hi mr. Duncan I like watching skins oh yes that's a very popular TV show I

don't think it's made anymore but it did have quite a few quite a few

seasons I think four or five seasons skins talking and looking at the the way

that teenagers live their lives yes I think so yes very good

skins Thank You Jean Santos for your message I have watched Sherlock Holmes

says Eliana yes Sherlock Holmes made into more than one

TV program there have been many versions of Sherlock Holmes made over the years

including many movies and also on television Sherlock Holmes has been

portrayed one of my favorite actors to play Sherlock Holmes is a man called

Jeremy Brett during the 1980s he played Sherlock Holmes on television in the UK

and he was brilliant I think he was the best actor ever the best portrayal ever

of Sherlock Holmes was by an actor called

Jeremy Brett many years ago mr. Duncan I like the nice smile on your chest oh

there it is yes my little smiley face saying hello to you all because it's a

Sunday and it's live English for those who want to get into

with me or if you want to follow me on Facebook here are the details

do-do-do-do-do there it is live English for a Sunday

and we are now live across the world wide web with just nine minutes away

from three o'clock I am with you until 4 o'clock UK time and don't forget you can

catch me every single Sunday I am here every Sunday from 2 p.m. UK time lots of

people on the live chat I like to say hello to my life chatters even though

some people think it's a waste of time but it isn't because my viewers that is

you you are the most important thing to me so I like saying hello to you Jay

Pierre says what about Monty Python yeah Monty Python absolutely brilliant from

the 1970s and early 1980s yes Monty Python they were on television

and of course they made a few movies as well including Monty Python and the Holy

Grail Monty Python's the life of Brian very controversial because it deals with

religion and of course as I said they appeared on television here in the UK

during the 1970s their style of humor is very surreal it's very unusual very odd

have you ever seen a movie called Alfie with an actor called Jude Law asks Pedro

yes the original version of that particular movie starred Michael Caine

so actually Alfie with Jude Law was actually a remake of the original movie

which starred Michael Caine hello my name's Michael Caine do you know who

Michael Caine is a very famous actor Yuliya says hello mr. Duncan I am from

Ukraine I am very glad to be here well I'm glad you are here as well because

without you I would be talking to nobody and that's

very strange let's have a look now at one of my full English lessons and then

after three o'clock we are going to go onto Google I am going to Google myself

it sounds very rude isn't it so I will be googling myself live on YouTube in

around about seven or eight minutes time but right now we are going to have a

look at an excerpt from one of my full English lessons sometimes after eating a

meal you might find that your stomach starts to feel uncomfortable

you might feel pain or get an ache perhaps the food you ate does not agree

with you this phrase expresses the fact that

perhaps you are sensitive to certain types of food I rarely eat spicy food as

it does not agree with me I never eat onions as they don't agree with me in

other words that particular type of food will upset your stomach if you eat it an

upset stomach is a bad stomach which can lead to you spending a long time on the

toilet

here's a funny word can you see it it looks like the word fishing but spelt

differently what the heck is that all about well I will tell you this word is

indeed pronounced as fishing but as you can see it is spelt with a pH at the

beginning this particular fishing means to attempt to obtain someone's personal

details such as their address or bank details by pretending to represent a

large well-known company this is normally done in the form of an email

for example you might receive an email from someone saying that they are from a

big bank they tell you that your account has been changed so you must send them

your personal details such as your credit card details or password so the

account can be reset of course the person writing is not from the bank they

are just trying to get your personal details they are fishing they are trying

to get your personal information from you through deception the person doing

the deceiving is called a Fisher so the next time you receive an email from

someone saying that they are from your bank or a large company or the orphan of

a millionaire be very careful as there is a chance that someone is fishing for

your personal details and your money

I love idioms don't you there are many expressions around that relate to our

own existence there can be no doubt that life has its

ups and downs there are sunny days and dark days happy times and sad times we

must take the rough with the smooth there will always be unexpected things

that come along to try and throw us off the path to happiness but we must take

it on the chin we have to grin and bear it

we must put on a grey face good fortune can be described as an upturn when

things start to get better we can say that there is light on the horizon a

glimmer of hope means that there is light at the end of the tunnel things

are getting better as I said many years ago in one of my earlier lessons without

sadness we would never really know what it is like to be truly happy it's time

to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a phrase or sentence that is

used a lot during a certain period of time

today's buzzword is the sentence lessons must be learnt this phrase seems to be

used a lot these days it is normally spoken after a terrible

event has taken place when more could have been done to prevent or ease the

effect of something bad occurring we often state that there are lessons to be

learned we normally hear those who are in charge or who have authority saying

this some might say that by using this sentence a person is admitting guilt or

is taking the blame for something without facing the consequences if not

enough was done to prevent a bad or tragic thing happening

we will often state that there are lessons to be learned all lessons must

be learned ten ways to say one thing in English in English there are many ways

to say one thing a sentence can consist of many different words to express what

is in essence exactly the same it is possible to use different words to say

the same thing there are various ways of expressing one thing there is more than

one way to say one thing to say one thing in English can be done by using

many different combinations of words the words are different however the meaning

remains the same you don't have to use the same words all the time to state one

particular thing syntax does not confine those who know how to use it a thousand

words can say one thing but not always together do you know someone who is a

nosey Parker perhaps you yourself can sometimes be a little nosy a nosy person

is someone who is interested in other people's personal affairs you are over

inquisitive and feel the need to delve into others lives perhaps you like

watching what your neighbors are up to a nosy person might be described as having

been prying spying or snooping on others to pry or snoop is to be nosy for some

reason we seem very interested in the lives of those in the public eye

the lives of the rich and famous seems so glamorous and perfect so the

possibility of finding out what really goes on in their day-to-day lives is

very seductive with the wide range of glossy magazines and reality TV shows

now available to view featuring celebrities of all shapes and sizes

many of us have without realizing it become nosey Parker's the phrase nosy

Parker was first used on a postcard that depicted a person spying on people from

behind a bush badoo badoo badoo so there it was an excerpt from one of my full

English lessons that was in fact full English number eleven that wasn't the

whole lesson that was just part of it just an excerpt from that particular

episode and of course don't forget all of my lessons are available on my

playlists the playlists for all of my English lessons are under this video

everything that I've made all of my English lessons are under this video the

playlists are down there I hope that's clear mr. Duncan you forgot to reveal

today's mystery idioms okay let's do that now then shall we because we are

now coming up to five minutes past three another fifty five minutes to go and we

are now going to reveal today's mystery idioms if you think you know what they

are let me know it is something for you to scratch your head with today so here

we go two well-known English four they are in picture form all you have to

do is guess what the phrase is are here is the first one today's first

mystery idiom but what is hid what is the mystery idiom do you have any idea

it is a common English phrase something used in English but what is it and here

is the second mystery idiom there are two for you to guess and here is the

second one I think this one is very easy I think this one is easy just say what

you see say what you see so there is the first one a well-known idiom a phrase

used in English and here is the second one I think this one is very easy in

fact I think they are both quite easy if you think you know what they are if you

think you have an idea what they are please let me know and I will reveal the

answers towards the end of today's live stream and mystery idioms a lot of

people seem to like the mystery idioms now I'm often asked to show them can I

just apologize once again for not showing up last week I had some things

that occurred that I had to deal with last week some things that I had to sort

out last week so I do apologize for that we were talking about TV programs

because today they are going to reveal the new Doctor Who who will be the new

Doctor Who and an even bigger question will it be a lady ooh a lady Time Lord

so a lot of people seem to think that the new Doctor Who will be a woman so we

will wait and see because today it is going to be announced right after the

final of Wimbledon because the men are playing today in the final

and right after that we will find out who will be the new Doctor Who Wow

unless of course you never watch Doctor Who in which case that means nothing to

you whatsoever we were talking about British TV shows Estella says mr. Duncan

I saw dr. house is that a British program no it is not it is actually made

in the u.s. it was it is finished now dr. house but of course it did star a

British actor pretending to be American it's very confusing I know

so dr. house was er was a US TV show but it starred a British actor playing an

American doctor so yes I think I understand that I don't understand the

word Google can you explain it well Google is the name of the search engine

on the Internet so when you google something it means

you search for something on the Internet so Google is the name of the company

that owns the search engine and of course YouTube is well so the very thing

you are watching now is owned by Google and of course Google can also be a verb

so you can Google something which is what I'm going to do right now I have my

mobile phone here my little smartphone so let's have a look shall we let's

Google mr. Duncan and see what happens

few people are asking about the tennis I think it's Roger Federer playing in

the final today a lot of people seem to think that Federer will win today I've

got an email here is this anything to do with today's program let's have a look

Abdul Omer has sent me an email just before we go to Google Thank You Abdul

for that Abdul Omer has sent me a photograph eventually it will open oh

I see Abdul has sent a picture of a cup of tea

and he says mr. Duncan you are my cup of tea oh there it is just to show there it

is thank you very much okay it's time to

Google myself now so here it is there is Google there is the search engine of

course it is available on most mobile devices and computers so now I am going

to enter my name I'm going to put mr. Duncan into Google and see what happens

who isn't as exciting I'm going to cheat here because I'm going to say my name so

I'm not going to type it I'm going to say it mr. Duncan oh okay then that was

quick very polite isn't Google polite so

Google has come up with well first of all Google has sent me that as the

search for the search for mr. Duncan on Google so there it is that is the top

search for me on Google and of course it is my first ever English lesson lesson

one which has over 11 million views now so that's what happens when you go onto

google let's have a look what else comes up we have lots of my video lessons

including my first ever full english lesson there it is can you see it's my

first full english lesson let's have a look what else comes up many of my

English lessons come up

let's have a look at photographs now let's have a look what photographs come

up when we search for mr. Duncan oh okay then there it is you can see some of the

search results there I don't think all of these people are me most of those

photographs are me but for some reason David Cameron who used to be the prime

minister of this country apparently David Cameron also comes up on the

search for mr. Duncan I don't know why and as you can see lots of photographs

from my lessons let's go further down

some more lots of photographs taken from my lessons you can see now quite clearly

that there are lots of English lessons on the internet made by me you are some

more I hope there aren't any rude pictures here I'm taking a big risk here

so there are quite a few photographs the interesting thing about these pictures

is that many of them are not actually posted by me many of these photographs

are actually posted by other people and that includes people who steal my video

lessons so there are people on YouTube who actually steal my lessons and then

re-upload them pretending to be me which isn't very good really I don't like that

at all so that's what happens when you search for yourself on YouTube or should

I say on Google sometimes it's very confusing because Google owns YouTube so

sometimes you can get a little bit confused so have you ever googled you

yourself have you ever looked for yourself on Google and did you find

anything interesting when you went on there another question today do you know

any British TV shows are there any British TV programs that you have

watched in the past are there any and if you have watched them what were they

it's a Sunday afternoon it's mr. Duncan live on YouTube

it is live English on a Sunday live to the world on YouTube thank you to Jean

Santos who says I was watching skins and I didn't like it a TV show all about the

lives of teenagers Juan Carlos says mr. Duncan I liked the

series the office very good recommendation the office a very popular

TV show made many years ago I think it was made in 2000 2001 and there I have

the DVD this actually is the box set so this particular box set has all of the

episodes of The Office and of course later it was made into a TV show in the

States as well so it has been made in the UK and also in the United States as

well some other programs that I showed you earlier including this dear ladies

this is one of my all-time favorite TV programs it is a program a comedy

program so it is funny about two elderly ladies who live in an English village

but the strange thing is the unusual thing is that they are both played by

men and the lady or should I say gentleman on the left

actually lived he used to live in the place where I was born the same town

Stafford so there they are hinge and bracket dear ladies can I just say now

this is one of my all-time favorite TV programs sometimes British humour can

seem very unusual to other people around the world and one of the things that

British humour involves is men pretending to be ladies right now there

is a tea show on the BBC called mrs. Brown's boys

and mrs. Brown is an elderly Irish lady who is a man it's actually a man

pretending to be a woman so this is something that does occur quite often in

British humour British humour some people find the British humour very odd

very unusual maybe you do mr. Duncan I've watched every episode of mind your

language mind your language I have watched every episode have you ever seen

the fourth season now there were three seasons made of mind your language and

then later on there was a fourth season but the fourth season has vanished it

has disappeared no one knows where it is so on the DVD there are three seasons

but the fourth one has vanished it was made I think it was made in 1986 but no

one knows where that particular season is it vanished without trace Estella

said yes I've watched mind your language do you feel like mr. Brown at times mr.

Brown was the teacher in mind your language yes I suppose I may have been

influenced by mr. Brown because I used to watch mind your language when I was

very young so perhaps mind your language has influenced me just a little bit

maybe maybe mr. Duncan I like to watch Sherlock Holmes with Benedict

Cumberbatch hello I am Benedict Cumberbatch

Jamelia says I love British sitcoms sitcom shall I write that down for you

I'm going to write that down on a piece of paper and then show it to you because

that's why I am here sitcom sitcom we often use this in

British English to mean a comedy program sitcom sitcom means situation comedy so

comedy that involves everyday situations and that's why we call it sitcom sitcom

so mind your language is a British sitcom

Jamelia says I love British sitcoms such as Monty Python my family oh yes my

family have you ever seen that that was made many years ago it used to be one of

the most popular TV shows on BBC many many years ago also Gavin and Stacey

which stars James Corden I don't like James Corden I can't stand him really

can't

Mika ODIs here hello Mika thanks for joining me today

I've watched one of the British programmes

unfortunately I can't recall its title but I know the men's name it's Gareth

Malone and he made people sing for the competition I think that might be

something called the choir I think it was called the choir I might be wrong

Faisal is here hello Faisal thanks for joining me lots of people on the live

chat today lots of people to say hello - even though some people don't like it

when I say hello to my viewers they get very annoyed mr. Duncan I googled my

brother's name and the first result of googling his name was his Facebook

account oh well maybe perhaps there aren't many

people who share your brother's name just a suggestion

that's all Sammy Sammy KJ says hello mr. d'Ancona from Petrus near xn Provence in

France hello to you I used to watch Columbo yeah although Columbo wasn't

made in Britain it was actually made in the United States but I love Columbo I

really do my wife my wife is a big fan of yours I've got a say mr. Duncan my

wife my wife is a big fan of yours ah there's just one more thing if you watch

Columbo you will know that that that was a very bad impression of Columbo I

apologize for that mr. Duncan can you please enter this video online I I don't

know what you mean by that do you mean the address of the video hi mr. Duncan

it's my first time here Ricardo Ricardo Almeida hello Ricardo

and welcome to my live chat on a Sunday afternoon I am live now on YouTube it is

20 minutes past three o'clock don't forget we have our mystery idioms for

you to look at there are today's mystery idioms that is the first one what is it

a well-known phrase in English and there is the second one I think this one is

very easy who knows it might not be make maybe you find it very difficult but to

me it's easy let's just say this particular adieu idiom is something you

do very often so this idiom is something you do very

often and this one is something that can happen from time to time so there they

are today's mystery idioms but the question is what do they mean what are

they what are today's mystery idioms I have a new neighbor coming soon because

the person living next door to me is selling their house at the moment

so I think in the near future I am going to get a new neighbor will they be

prepared to live next door to mr. Duncan I wonder they will look out of their

window and they will see me standing in my garden talking to myself into a

camera they will probably think what have I done this area is crazy it is my

first time here in your channel I really like this very useful Thank You jeans

sent us once again for saying hello very kind of you to join in gavin yang says

my favorite TV show is the it crowd the IT Crowd yeah I like that one as well it

is a situation comedy set in a large company and the stories revolve around

the people who work in the IT department very funny yes the IT Crowd or the it

crowd very nice yes that is a British TV show mr. Duncan I listened to everyone

who speaks English clearly and slowly I understand what he says but if he speaks

quickly I don't that is a common problem with those who are unfamiliar with

different types of accent and different types of speed of speech so yes it is

something that you Jen get used to overtime so at first it may

seem very difficult but as time goes by as you become more familiar with English

you will begin to hear you will begin to understand what people are saying even

when they are talking quickly we have someone watching in Italy hello a big

hello to Italy Anna Anna Napoli donto or Napolitano Anna and Napolitano did I

pronounce that well I hope so I am watching you now from Italy thanks a lot

mr. Duncan I am now watching in Pakistan I like this so much

uma uma Frug in Pakistan my favorite TV show says hyung is Britain's Got Talent

oh I see you like watching the talent shows some people say mr. Duncan you

should go on british britain's got talent as a singer i don't know why i'm

not very good at singing i'm not a singer mr. duncan your neighbour is

selling the house how much why are you thinking of buying it

do you want to live next door to me trust me you don't you don't want to

live next door to me really miss shunt is here hello miss shunt thanks for

joining me you are a little bit late today because we are only here for

another half an hour Brazil says hello thanks a lot Brazil lots of people

watching in Brazil today earlier on I googled myself have you ever googled

yourself have you ever put your name or the place that you live in have you ever

entered it into the Google search engine of course Google is the company that

owns the largest search engine in the world it's true and of course Google

also own YouTube which is where you are

watching me now mr. Duncan is your speaking speed average in the UK it's

pretty much average yes most people in their day-to-day lives will speak at

this speed pretty much pretty much normally people will speak at a an

average pace so nothing too quick nothing too slow because you want people

to understand what you are saying of course maybe when you get excited if an

English person gets excited maybe their speech will speed up maybe they will

actually speak faster but for most of the time people speak it at an average

pace a bit like me really I googled my name and it shows 69 thousand results

says Marcio Wow so there are lots of people with your

name or you are very famous so it's one of those Olga says mr. Duncan your

mystery idioms is the first one bind the hand and the foot and is the second one

penny from heaven let's have a look shall we

no you are wrong with both of them at the moment so there they are today's

mystery idioms there is the first one and there is the second one I thought

this one was quite easy just say what you see I will give you the answers to

the mystery idioms later on ray kikuna asks mr. Duncan do you like the British

sitcom Blackadder yes I do I really do now that particular program was made way

back in the 1980s a very old TV show Black Adder starring

Rowan Atkinson so Rowan Atkinson also played mr. bone hello my name is mr. boo

oh we are getting some guesses now coming through on the mystery idiom

thank you very much for that loan ah thank you very much for your guess hyung

Dean says pronounced by English English or English America which is easier I

don't know really what you mean there I'm not sure what your question is are

you saying is it easy is it easier to pronounce things with British English or

is it easier to pronounce things with American English it really depends it

really depends there aren't any rules there aren't any laws that say you must

speak one type of English so some people prefer American English whilst others

prefer British English but really I think they are both is difficult because

you have to learn them so anything you have to learn is difficult at the

beginning interesting coincidence mr. Duncan I've watched bladder bladder not

bladder Black Adder I watched Black Adder for the first time one week ago Oh

Olga what a coincidence how strange David Zapata says have you

ever watched Dragons Den oh yes that's a very interesting TV show that is where

people try to put their ideas forward to a panel of business people so maybe

there are people in the panel who can offer money to help this particular

person start their business or to produce the product that they have

invented yes I think so Dragon's Den a very

interesting TV show hello mr. Duncan he's the first one tied tie the knot or

one tied knot and the second one is one side of the coin Thank You Nishant let's

have a look they are not the ones that you said no so there is the second one

and there is the first one but what are they they are today's mystery idioms but

what are they

live English on a Sunday afternoon as live as life can be I hope you are well

when are you coming here when are you coming to the UK Alanya

or a liner eyeliner Ben deti says I saw mr. Ben here in Brazil on a theater

watching Roberto Carlos a Brazilian singer mr. Ben I don't know who mr. Ben

is there was a cartoon in the 1970s called mr. Ben and that was a man who

used to go into a clothes shop and he used to put a uniform on and then he

would go out and have an adventure mr. Ben I'm sure there are episodes of that

on YouTube I'm pretty sure of it and it was a kids TV show so it was aimed at

children hello mr. Duncan hi I hear that we can

use i-ight with were in wish sentences I don't know what that means I I hear that

we can use I with were I'm not sure what you mean by that

do you like mr. bean the movie I liked the first one

I liked the first mr. bean movie but I didn't like the second one when he goes

on holiday I didn't like that one I didn't think it was this funny but I did

like the first one the first one was very funny when he was he was having to

take the painting - I think he was taking it to France or

somewhere so the first one was better mr. bean the movie was better but I

didn't like the second one I didn't think it was funny mr. Duncan hello from

Kazakhstan straight away on the live chat popped up right in front of my eyes

Nick ZV says hello thank you very much for joining me today you are very very

kind I'm going to show you an excerpt from one of my full English lessons now

this is taken from full English number 19 looking at many many different

subjects here is a good example of an English word that is often used

incorrectly the word paraphrase is one that is often misused it is on occasion

placed within a sentence by mistake to paraphrase something means to change the

wording of a sentence so as to make it clearer to emphasize the meaning of

something might require you to paraphrase you reword a sentence so as

to make it appear more clear teachers often paraphrase sentences so as to

allow their students to recognize the important points of a subject to express

something in as clear a way as possible might require some paraphrasing to take

place even here in my English lessons I often paraphrase so as to ensure that

my explanations come across as clearly as they can many people believe that to

paraphrase is to shorten a sentence this is not true to emphasize and clarify a

sentence is to paraphrase the word originates from the Greek word para

which means modification and phrasing we means tell can you see what I'm doing

here I'm moving these empty plastic bottles to the recycling box at the back

of my house they will then be collected by the local

recycling plant and taken to a place where they will be melted down and

reused to recycle is the process of reusing something over and over these

days recycling is carried out all around the world almost anything can be

recycled the most commonly recycled materials

include water paper and plastic many electrical devices can now be recycled

to most metallic objects are also recyclable from discarded cans right up

to disused cars many things these days can be recycled we often hear the word

sustainable used when discussing recycling this word refers to the action

of maintaining a balance between the use and replacement of materials needed for

the manufacturing of everyday items sustainable forests and sustainable

oceans being the two most common places where things such as wood gas and oil

are found

it's time to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a word or phrase

that is used during a certain period or is generally popular today's buzz word

is prank the word prank can be used as both a noun and verb a practical joke or

trick played on someone is a prank to do something mischievous to someone so as

to get a reaction from them is prank you play a prank on someone or you prank

someone you create a fictitious or fake situation for someone to deal with such

as an angry phone call this is a prank another example is you might arrange for

a friend to be arrested by someone pretending to

be a police officer to make someone believe that something bad is happening

when it isn't is to prank someone the prank is the trick or joke to prank

someone is the action of playing a prank pranks are quite amusing for those

watching from afar but not so for the victim of the prank we can use the

phrase hoax to mean prank you hoax someone it's a hoax believe it or not

the word prank has been in use for over 400 years

how are you enjoying today's full English is it okay I hope so they say

that English can be a confusing language to learn with many clauses and rules to

remember a good example being the differences between the words less and

fewer in standard English you should only use fewer with things that are

countable and less with things that are uncountable in their general use the

words less and fewer refer to having a smaller amount or not so much of

something so less is used with uncountable things there sugar less

water less light less money less time whereas fewer is used with countable

things fewer cats fewer people fewer words fewer days we often use less and

less in a sentence to show a decrease or steady fall it is worth remembering that

when numbers are being discussed the word less is used to show that one

number is smaller than the other less than three less than ten the confusion

between less and a few is a common one even among native English speakers

oh I'm just doing my neck exercises this is something I like to do from time to

time to to get my neck to stay supple so I can I can move around easily because

sometimes especially when I wake up at the morning I get I get neck ache I get

an ache in my neck so that's what I'm doing I'm just doing my neck exercises

and that was a full English episode that was full English number 19 don't forget

you can find all of my lessons on my youtube channel my playlists are all

underneath this video everything that I've made all of my

playlists are under this video don't forget also you can watch this later you

can watch this whole live stream again as many times as you want and hopefully

watching this live there are no subtitles but later hopefully there will

yeah the big question today who will be the new Doctor Who do you watch Doctor

Who have you ever watched it Doctor Who a very popular TV show made here in the

UK and today they are going to reveal the new Doctor Who because the current

actor is leaving the show so there will be a new Doctor Who but who will it be

we are the Daleks we will exterminate mr. Duncan sorry about that

there is a DVD of one of the very early Doctor Who episodes this particular wand

in my hand was made in 1964 so this episode of

Doctor Who is older than me I know there aren't many things that are older than

mr. Duncan but this is older than me this episode of Doctor Who today we are

going to find out who the new actor will be the new actor playing Doctor Who in

fact they are supposed to be revealing it around about now so I will have a

look now just to see have they named the new Doctor Who yet no not yet we are

still waiting I have a feeling that my livestream will be finished before they

announce who the new doctor who will be at the moment the BBC is showing tennis

live tennis from Wimbledon and then afterwards they are going to tell

everyone who the new doctor who will be do you watch it do you watch Doctor Who

I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid and it used to scare me so much it

really did put the willies up me they did definitely so who will the new

Doctor Who be and still they are not telling us they really want to keep us

in suspense I think so I will check back to see if they have

announced the new Doctor Who but they haven't at the moment please give some

examples of until and till well to be honest until and till mean the same

thing so when we say until tomorrow or till tomorrow so till is an abbreviation

of until I mr. Duncan I'm planning my next vacation in 2018 and until then I

am saving my money I would like to know a nice place to visit there are so many

nice places to visit he in the UK lots of lovely places you can

go to the South of England you can go along the coast you can travel around

wonderful places to visit mr. Duncan what is the name of the song you use in

your fault English lessons I've searched Google but I can't find it I find the

music you use is very great the reason why you can't find the music is because

it is not available commercially you have to buy it through a special company

and of course you have to also buy a special license which allows you to use

it so that particular type of music the music that I use in my lessons and in

many of my videos are I buy especially for my video lessons and also I have to

pay some extra money as well so I can use the music I have to pay a license as

well I have to pay for the license so I can use it let's have a look at a flash

said that it's something that we do quite often something that we all do

often sometimes twice a day sometimes three times sometimes 20 times a day

the second mystery idiom is spend a penny yes

spend a penny that is today's second mystery idiom and the meaning is to

urinate all go to the toilet for a pee pee or a wee-wee

is to spend a penny so we can use it as an idiom for going for a wee-wee you can

spend a penny I must go I need to spend a penny so there they were today's

mystery idioms but the big question is who is the new Doctor Who do we have it

do we have a new Doctor Who please someone tell us no still not this is

unfair this is very unfair we're just coming up to four o'clock and they

really are keeping us in suspense they are not telling us who the new Doctor

Who is it's very annoying oh come on BBC stop it stop playing

games with us please just tell us who the new Doctor Who is so I can finish my

live stream even people on Twitter are getting angry now they're getting very

angry they are saying come on tell us who the new Doctor Who is stop keeping

us in suspense just get on with it oh dear

nope still nothing people are starting to swear they're

starting to use bad language now on Twitter and that's the reason why I'm

not going to use a screenshot so I'm not going to show you what people are saying

now on Twitter because quite a few of them are swearing they are saying

tell us who the bleep Inge knew doctor who is please tell us do you they are

really milking this aren't they they are really milking this it's not fair

okay mr. Duncan I don't know this idiom spend a penny well now you do if you

spend a penny it means you go for a wee-wee it means you go to the toilet

it is a nice polite way of saying go to the toilet how long will you be live I

am going in a moment I normally go at four o'clock but I'm waiting for a few

more moments because I want to announce who the new Doctor Who is who will be

the new Doctor Who I'm sure you can't wait to find out

really I have never seen Doctor Who says Julie come on they are really making it

very difficult for us

still nothing still no doctor who still no results they are really being very

mean so the Wimbledon final is over and Roger

Federer has won are you surprised by that still nothing

still absolutely nothing I have a feeling that Twitter has broken because

now Twitter isn't even updating there aren't any updates now coming through on

Twitter so I have the feeling I have a strange feeling that Twitter has

actually broken because of this I can't even get the latest updates now I don't

know why please someone tell me who the new doctor who is so I can go and spend

a penny still they are keeping us waiting apparently Owen Wilson the

famous actor American actor was it Wimbledon today I'm sure you're pleased

to hear that so who is the new Doctor Who come on stop messing around stop

keeping us waiting I'm sure the BBC is doing this on purpose Deary me I don't

know so did you get the mystery idioms right did you get the right Juan

Francisco asks hello mr. Duncan I'd like to know why you decided to become an

English teacher that was many many years ago that was 14 years ago that I decided

to become an English teacher something I was interested in doing whilst I was

still young sometimes you have to do things when you are still young or else

you'll never do them and that's the reason why I decided to try teaching

many years ago over 14 years since I started teaching I

can't believe it do you make your live videos everyday asks L go I don't do

this every day if you want me to do it every day I don't mind I can come here

every day and say hello to you if you want as long as you watch of course

doppelgänger says I think the new doctor who is Theresa May it might be

I've always thought that Theresa May might be a time traveler you might have

something there have they told us yet who the new doctor who is this is very

unfair they are really really making us suffer here people on Twitter are

getting very angry they are saying where is the new bleeping Doctor Who bleeping

I say bleeping because I want to leave out the swear words are we going to find

out who the new Doctor Who is maybe it's Daniel Craig that would be funny

wouldn't it so instead of being James Bond doctor Daniel Craig it could be the

new Doctor Who ah nobody suggested that maybe I'm right it doesn't look as if

we're going to find out who the new Doctor Who is before I finish no nobody

is telling us they're keeping it a secret for as long as they can that's it

I don't know about you but I can't wait any longer mr. Bergin it's like waiting

for the new Pappa Pappa rimsky do you remember oh there might but oh I see the

new pope yes it's a bit like waiting for the new pope they have smoke that comes

out of the chimney so if the smoke is white it means they haven't decided but

if the smoke is black it means they have chosen the

new pope so at the moment we are waiting for the new Doctor Who but who will it

be who will be the new Doctor Who I love your t-shirt mr. Duncan where did you

get this I bought this t-shirt many years ago I've had this t-shirt for

about ten years and it still looks brand-new

mr. Duncan when are you normally live I am live every Sunday from 2:00 p.m. so

you can catch me live on YouTube every Sunday from 2:00 p.m. UK time that is

when I am live on YouTube I am going in a minute thanks for your company today I

will see you next Sunday and maybe I will do a live stream during the week as

well maybe I will do a surprise livestream during the week what are the

differences between clever smart and bright they can all mean the same thing

so a person can be clever they can be bright and they can be smart it

basically means the same thing a person who is very intelligent or has many

abilities we are going to look one more time to see who the new Doctor Who is

come on

have you found out yet no still not there are lots of people playing pranks

now on Twitter they are all saying that the new doctor who are people who

clearly will not be dr. who and that includes me I'm not going to be the new

Doctor Who okay definitely not this is very very hard to do isn't it I'm sure

if you're watching this at the moment you are thinking mr. Duncan why are you

talking about this most people don't even know who Doctor Who is many people

think that the new Doctor Who will be a woman I'm not sure I think it won't be I

have a strange feeling that the new Doctor Who will not be a woman just a

thought just a thought Julie G says goodbye mr.

Duncan I hope Jodie Whittaker is the new Doctor Who that would be fantastic Jodie

Whittaker I think she is she's an actress isn't she a young actress I

think Judy Dench would be a great Doctor Who Dame a Judy Dench should be the new

Doctor Who yes definitely I think so she should mr. Duncan you should make a

video about pronunciation I have made a video all about phonetics and how to

pronounce English words I have done that and it is available on my youtube

channel wow I'm really staying here for a long time today we are going to check

one more time to see if they have announced who the new Doctor Who is if

they haven't they still haven't this is crazy

I think the BBC is trolling us they are trolling I think the BBC are playing a

big prank that's what I'm starting to think now

Oh Deary me there are no live updates even there are no live updates they are

still talking about tennis some people are saying maybe Roger Federer is the

new Doctor Who now that would be very interesting yes I think so

so Roger Federer has win Wimbledon but we still don't know who the new Doctor

Who is that's very very very disappointing I'm going now

I think I think we've talked enough about who the new Doctor Who is because

they're not going to tell us arm it says mr. Duncan do you like Top Gear

I don't like Top Gear no I'm not a fan of Top Gear I'm not really interested in

cars to be honest mr. Steve likes top gear but I don't I'm not really

interested

Shire blade says what about Chris Marshall maybe he could be the new

Doctor Who Chris Marshall is a British actor he isn't very old but yes maybe

who knows this might be one of the strangest endings ever they are still

talking about Wimbledon they are still going on about Wimbledon they are doing

this on purpose I think the BBC are trolling us all I

think they are actually playing a prank they are playing a prank they are

keeping this going as long as they possibly can that's it then I gave them

a chance but they they decided to to talk about tennis rich Kenzo says how to

be lucky how to be lucky I don't know I don't know how to be lucky I'm still

trying myself to be honest maybe one day goodbye mr. Duncan have a nice week Ana

Ana Duarte says goodbye I am going now it would appear that we are not going to

find out who the new Doctor Who is and to be honest I I've lost complete

interest now I've lost complete interest because they they really are playing

games no we are still waiting for the announcement well I hope it's danger dee

Dench that's all I can say I'm going I hope you've enjoyed today's live

English we have gone 14 minutes over what we normally do I'm going I'll see

you next Sunday thanks for taking part thanks for saying hello this is mr.

Duncan in England saying thanks for following me today and I will see you

next Sunday at 2 p.m. UK time and sadly we will not find out who the new Doctor

Who is see you next Sunday and of course you know what's coming next...
