Anyway, John, you've scored three points.

APPLAUSE

Well, that's the specialist round.

Let's have a look at all of the scores.

In fourth place, with three points, John.

Third place, eight points, Danny.

Second place, nine points, Michelle.

First place, 10 points, Joe.

APPLAUSE

So it's the general knowledge round now. If there's a tie at the end,

then the number of passes is taken into account

and the person with the fewer passes is the winner.

Let's get on with it and ask John to join us again, please.

And, John, we will all know, everybody knows Cabin Pressure.

You knew I was going to say that, didn't you?

Given that you do sitcoms and sketches,

what's the more difficult?

I'd imagine sketches because you do a sitcom

and you can keep the characters going throughout the whole six episodes,

with a sketch you've got to find new characters all the time.

That's true. You do have to burn out more material, as it were,

but what I find really difficult is narrative,

is the structure of telling a story

over half an hour, so I find sitcom a lot more difficult to write.

Is there a kind of, something about a particular joke

that makes you say, "They will definitely like that one"?

Yes, but you're often wrong.

I go in with an idea of where I think the big laughs are going to be

or what the point of this scene is, and then -

or this sketch - and then I'm often proved wrong by the audience.

Did you ever want to be nicer to yourself in Cabin Pressure than you were?

-Cos you made yourself look a bit of a prat.

-Oh, yes. No.

The best part is always to play the idiot.

And I did that, of course, in Round One.

LAUGHTER

On the contrary, MR James wrote an awful lot of books...

Yeah, I should read them sometime.

LAUGHTER

Well, look, you've now got two minutes of general knowledge

to put the record right.

-Right.

-Storm ahead to victory.

Here we go. Starting now, two minutes.

APPLAUSE

And now Danny again, please.

And, Danny, the Instant Gardener.

The thing about gardening is that anybody can do it

and almost anybody can do it quite well.

It's very, very simple.

All you've got to do, basically, is dig a hole.

If you can dig a hole, put a plant in it,

you can cut things back, you can use a pair of shears.

If you can do all those sort of things, then you can garden.

It's very, very simple.

-You can't really make a mistake.

-Yeah?

-Not really.

-Cos I...

-Have you made any mistakes?

-Oh, every day.

What sort of mistakes have you made?

Well, I'll tell you what, having a garden that looks wonderful

in, say, July, and then by August it looks horrible.

And that's it - it's getting something nice all year round.

But that's not a mistake, is it?

You just haven't got it quite right.

And that just comes from a bit of practice.

I've been practising for about 70 years! LAUGHTER

Well, gardens never finish.

We're always gardening.

So, you know, you should never be put off.

And, really, at the end of the day, it's all about time -

-the more time you put into a garden the better you get at it.

-Right.

Now, look, you've got eight points at the moment.

Let's see how you do with your general knowledge.

At the moment, 16 is the score to beat. Here we go.

And now Michelle again, please.

And Watchdog is one of the shows you do.

-It is.

-It's been around for a very, very long time.

How can you measure, can you measure the impact of it?

Has it changed anything, do you reckon?

It changes things all the time, and I think

you don't really measure it because it's ongoing, it's consistent

and it's all determined by members of the public, you know,

people getting in touch and wanting to rectify wrongs, really.

So it's a consistent process.

And do you get any sense of what makes people the most cross?

You know what? It could be absolutely anything.

There's a lot of things within the household.

It's things just not working when they should do.

I was covering a story recently and it was about cars setting alight.

You know, things that affect you day to day.

You think that they should be working,

you have paid for them to work and they're not,

it's really irritating.

Especially when, you know,

you're expecting a company to sort it out for you and they don't.

That's where we get involved.

And that's when people get really cross, isn't it,

-When the company just says, "Oh, go away."

-Yeah, exactly.

Michelle, you have nine points.

Let's see how you do with your general knowledge.

APPLAUSE

And now Joe again, please.

And I know you get this question 100,000 times a week, Joe,

but can most of us really tell the difference

between cheap wine and top-of-the-range stuff?

-Can we really?

-You absolutely can.

I think sometimes people get that mixed up. You know what?

There's nothing wrong with liking cheap, everyday plonk.

Somebody asked me yesterday and I recommended a bottle of wine that was £4.50.

It's absolutely fantastic.

Hang on a minute. What was it called? LAUGHTER

And yet, it's a little bit... Sometimes it's the mood.

You know what? There are times I like to listen to Bananarama,

-which is the £4.99 of drinking a bottle of wine.

-JOHN LAUGHS

But, you know, there are great wines,

they are the Ring Cycle of wine -

they're quite hard work, but they're fabulous

and you have to invest a bit of time in them.

But, honestly, isn't there a lot of...posing with wine?

Well, do you know what?

The one tip, if anybody wants to be a great wine expert

within about five seconds,

hold the glass lower down the stem

and instantly you look like you know

-exactly what you're talking about.

-LAUGHTER

"Darling, it's absolutely fantastic. I'm loving this so much."

But it's the thing that we use...

I mean, I quite like this, I campaign for more wine snobbery.

-I think it's fantastic.

-More wine snobbery?!

-Absolutely.

-Because it brings people out.

-It keeps you in business.

-It keeps me in business.

You don't need to indulge in it, but it's a thing people do

to distinguish themselves. It's like wearing different clothes.

But the difference is, being a wine snob and not being a wine snob

might be about 40 quid a bottle.

Well, it can be.

Although, you know what? Some of the greatest wines in the world...

Go tonight, have fish and chips and a fino sherry.

Fino sherry is pretty good value, to be honest,

and it is the most fantastic combination.

But fino sherry is something that people don't spend

a lot of money on, and yet that and fish and chips,

I would say is the greatest food and wine combination in Britain today.

Oh, interesting. Right, Joe, you have 10 points. 16 is the score to beat.

Let's see if you can do it with your general knowledge. Starting now.
