Prince Philip takes over the world, George Bush has a message for the boy scouts, Jeremy Clarkson is confronted by his most troublesome guest ever and there's trouble on the set of Ask The Family. It can mean only one thing; the archive has gone through the mincer yet again as Don't Watch That Watch This invites you to watch more freshly recut footage.
Further details
A confused Jeremy Paxman bumps into Charles Kennedy, while Peter Mandelson tells us what he really thinks of his fellow Europeans. A teenage Anne Widdecombe pops up to talk up state schools, and President Putin explains away a hiccup as he greets Tony Blair. After more time running amok with scissors in the BBC film vaults, it's time to stick it everything back together and see if it makes sense.
