Can anyone identify this for me please?

Nuneaton, United Kingdom

It looks like a courgette plant but the fruit does not look like courgettes. Iv taken some piccies to help identify, i think there are two different types in the pics, if anyone can identify either of them it would be a big help as im only a beginner and can only recognise courgettes so far lol...

They are two types of zucchini ( courgettes in British). The first photo is a typical round zucchini which could be Tonda di Nizza or a more modern version like Geode. The second looks like one of the middle eastern cultivars. Of course they could be crosses depending on where you got the seed. http://rareseeds.com/cart/products/Lebanese_White_Bush_Marrow_Squash-1148-16.html http://www.unitedgenetics.com/products/squash/table.htm
