Paul guesses the lying old man’s occupation

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Paul quickly discovers that Hugh is a doctor, and when Alex asks him to find out specifically what kind of doctor he is, he responds “For fuck’s sake!” He guesses GP, psychiatrist, surgeon, and nurse, and then asks Hugh “Did you get involved with the nurses?” (we don’t see Hugh’s answer to this). Paul continues to suggest different types of doctors, and eventually works out that Hugh gave patients something, and had worked in surgical operating rooms. He then asks Hugh “Are you an anaesthetic doctor?”. Alex tries to get Paul to say the word ‘anaesthetist’, but Paul has difficulty with the pronunciation. In the studio, Greg confirms that he also struggles with the word ‘anaesthetist’ and asks Paul if he can say it now (which he can’t). Alex confirms that Paul had also guessed “yoga instructor”, “rent boy”, “baby sitter”, “hygiene doctor”, and “Dr Dre”. During his attempt, Paul apparently said the word ‘doctor’ 63 times, made 15 sexual references, and swore 23 times. He completes the task in 42 minutes and 7 seconds, and earns just 1 point.
