0:15:12 > 0:15:15The Office.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You were in, I think it's right to say, every episode of The Office?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I believe so.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21What was it, do you think,
0:15:21 > 0:15:26that turned that into the sort of phenomenon, really, that it became?
0:15:26 > 0:15:31I think it was a great script and I think it was at the right time and the right place.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think a lot of these things are kind of Zeitgeisty,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37so a lot of shows are very good but they happen to be
0:15:37 > 0:15:41at the wrong time, whereas The Office, I think, just touched a nerve with people.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It wasn't actually all that successful the first time around.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- It was when it was repeated it suddenly took off.- Really?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Yeah, the first time around, I remember it kind of famously
0:15:50 > 0:15:54got fewer viewers than women's curling at one point.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Mind you, women's curling was big at that point.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Women's curling was big and still is big, and quite rightly so.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It was when it was repeated that it suddenly became a kind of phenomenon,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07because the people who'd seen it the first time told their friends.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- It was word of mouth.- Word of mouth, and it took off after that, really.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Extraordinary. Right, now, you have ten points.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The score to beat is 21, as we speak.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47And Alice Roberts again, now, please.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And you have 11 points.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52You're interested in human evolution,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56and I want you to tell me in words of very, very simple language
0:18:56 > 0:18:59indeed, what can we learn by looking
0:18:59 > 0:19:02at the bones of very old skeletons?
0:19:02 > 0:19:08I think we have the opportunity to look at old fossils...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Basically, a lot of the time it's the only evidence we have got.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13You're looking back into the past
0:19:13 > 0:19:16and you're looking for early evidence of humanity,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and the bits of you that remain are the hardest bits of your body,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23which tend to be bones. I was actually quite surprised,
0:19:23 > 0:19:28because I started off as a medic and then went into this
0:19:28 > 0:19:31study of old bones. When I first started, I was actually really,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35really taken aback by how much you can tell just by looking at bones.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Obviously, you can't talk to the patient.- No.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Not if they're a few thousand years old, no.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43No, no, and you can't do blood tests or anything like that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46But, remarkably, there is a lot that you can tell.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Like what? Give us a clue.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49There are lots of signs of ancient disease, for instance,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52which is particularly what I'm interested in.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56So there are some diseases which leave very characteristic marks on the skeleton.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So, things like TB and syphilis.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03But recently we've been able to extract DNA from old bones,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and that might be the DNA of the person,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08but then you could also look at the DNA of the disease as well.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, disease has got its own DNA?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, yeah. Viruses and bacteria have DNA, too,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and you can extract that from the bones, if you're lucky.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Right, now, Alice, you've got 11 points.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26- The score to beat now is 25. - 25.- Yes, I know. You can do it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Here we go. Two minutes coming up.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39off the coast of which country?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23a feature of many gardens?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Pass.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37What name is given to the curd made from mashed soya beans?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's derived from the Chinese for rotten beans.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Tofu.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00at a temperature of 63 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes
0:22:00 > 0:22:02to prolong its shelf life time?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It comes from the name of the scientist who discovered it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Pasteurisation.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Between 1714 and 1830, Great Britain
0:22:08 > 0:22:11was ruled by four successive kings who all had the same first name.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12What was it?

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Kate Moss? - Is correct.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Can I say right angle now?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Yes, too late! I know, I know!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Isn't it weird, the idea that you didn't know it?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Anyway, that was one of your passes. But we'll pass quickly over that.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Right angle is 90 degrees.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20And Simon Evans again, please.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25you're a stand-up comedian.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28One of the things you must worry about is people
0:23:28 > 0:23:30nicking your best jokes?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33That's not been a major issue in my career.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- What, you've never had any good ones?- I think it's interesting.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39People, when you meet a stand-up comedian,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41people ask all the most irrelevant questions.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44The first one most people ask, which you've avoided so far, is,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46"How do you deal with hecklers?"
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Which is like one per cent of the job, if that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53And worrying about other people nicking your material - tiny consideration.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55"Where do you get your ideas from?" That's a good question.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57That's the one that does keep us awake.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- All right, where do you get your ideas from?- Nobody knows where they come from.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- So it was a good question, rotten answer.- Exactly.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06That's the thing that's the biggest challenge.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And you can't... Well, I suppose you can road test it, to a degree.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Oh, you have to, yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You have to have, even if you become big and famous,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16big and famous enough to appear on Celebrity Mastermind,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19you still have to have smaller gigs where you can go to
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and fail without significant repercussions.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I've seen comedians come on, for instance,
0:24:24 > 0:24:29at the London Comedy Store, which is a very well known, roughly 400-seat venue,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32and big, stadium-filling stars will come on and do a warm up gig
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- there the night before they play the Apollo or Wembley or something. - Really?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The audience don't know they're going to see these people,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and they say, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
0:24:41 > 0:24:43"Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard," somebody massive.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45They virtually get a standing ovation,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and then the audience settle down and listen,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and sometimes the material is not that great and these guys are a bit rusty,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and that's why they are there and there's a murmur of, "Oh..."
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So they don't laugh BECAUSE they're Billy Connelly?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00You can't get away with it for long. You'd think they would.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02You think they will hold the audience.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05But they have to live on their wits, just like everybody,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06which is why it's a great job.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Right, 12 points is what you've got.
0:25:09 > 0:25:1125 is still the score to beat.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Here we go. Two minutes.
