Alan Davies, Rob Brydon and others in “Unfinished Business”

Alan Davies

You know when you find a bee, and it's crawling on its last legs.

Rob Brydon

I always rescue them.

Alan Davies

You give it honey. It's the only thing they eat, makes sense when you think about it.

Alan Davies

No point in just talking to it. Give it honey!

David Mitchell

They're very much a one-recipe species, aren't they?

Dara Ó Briain

I'm intrigued, because I would, um, I generally give it a sole of my shoe. You know, not to be harsh, but…

Alan Davies

[exasperated] You step on a struggling, crawling bee? Trying to get back to the hive?

Dara Ó Briain

What? As opposed to rehabilitate it?

Alan Davies

I like honey! I have it on my porridge! You murderer!

David Mitchell

[after the argument has gone on for a while] But isn't it true, though, that a bee, in its entire lifetime, makes absolutely tiny amount of honey overall? So you don't have to give much rehabilitating honey to this one bee before the nation, the world, is making a net loss! I mean, it's useless. If you only get one teaspoon of honey from a whole bee's lifetime, and every time you have to get it back on its feet it takes a teaspoon and a half, suddenly there's no honey at all! You're insulting it apart from anything else! It's like showing a very tired mason a whole cathedral!
