0:15:26 > 0:15:28It was... Yeah, it was a cult hit.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31But that sort of stuff is happening on YouTube all over the place.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44so...yeah, you know, people...

0:15:49 > 0:15:52There's still a huge amount of people for whom the common language

0:18:51 > 0:18:53How do you get their interest and inform them
0:18:53 > 0:18:56without patronising them and making it over-simple?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You pretty much hit the nail on the head. You don't patronise them.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00That's the first rule.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I wouldn't start a show, "Hi, children, welcome to Newsround.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It's just sounds really strange... - So, what would you say?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- "Good afternoon, welcome to Newsround, I'm Nel."- OK.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Right, so you wouldn't say, "Hi, young people."
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I wouldn't be like, "Yo!"
0:19:15 > 0:19:17LAUGHTER
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Why not? It sounds rather good! - Would you start your show...?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- I do most mornings. I do.- Do you?! LAUGHTER
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I think the beauty of Newsround is that you can...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It's about explaining something.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34We covered what happened with Hurricane Katrina
0:19:34 > 0:19:36or these massive, massive subjects.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Kids know a lot more than what we give them credit for.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41They always overhear what their parents are listening to,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45they always listen to Five Live or they'll watch the Ten O'Clock News
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- so, they're aware.- Well, it's certainly a good programme.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Right, now, you have 10 points as well, of course,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and 24 is now the score to beat.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So, let's see if you can do it with your general knowledge.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I can't imagine how stupid I look right now!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Look, it's sitting in that chair. Anyway, you did very well.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'll give you your passes first. It was Evita...

0:22:28 > 0:22:30APPLAUSE
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40now Neil again, please.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44And you are going to have to explain about your passion,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I think not too strong a word, for rare books.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's not too strong a word. I think they're important.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55Anyone who reads, collects over the course of a reading life,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and the rare books, the first editions,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03are the first time those literary grenades went off,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and I find that rather romantic.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, what was it that, right at the beginning, said,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12"I've got to have a first edition of..." whatever it was...?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well, it started back in 1984,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- curiously enough, since that's the title of a book.- Yep.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I was reading A Dance To The Music Of Time by Anthony Powell,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24which is a 12-volume thing,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27and I was on number 11, and I was coming through Cecil Court in London,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32which is a...very well-known centre for rare books,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37and in the window of one of those bookshops was the first edition,
0:23:37 > 0:23:42I didn't know it was that, but it was the last volume in that cycle,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and it was shiny and gorgeous
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and I thought that might be a suitably ceremonial way
0:23:47 > 0:23:51to finish reading this long...12-volume novel.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54So, I went in and asked how much it cost, and he told me.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58And I then said what I've said to book dealers
0:23:58 > 0:24:01very many times over the years, "How much?!"
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- LAUGHTER - How much was it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It was actually only... It was 30 quid,
0:24:05 > 0:24:10but 30 quid was a lot in 1984, and it was certainly a lot to me.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12But I bought it, and that was my mistake,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- because then, of course, I wanted the other 11.- Ah!
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Let me tell you this.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Condition is everything, in 20th-century books especially.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23If you have a first edition of The Great Gatsby, say,
0:24:23 > 0:24:24it's a lovely thing,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27it's almost certainly not going to be in its dust wrapper,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30because people used to take those off when they got them home
0:24:30 > 0:24:31- and throw them away...- Yes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You have a book that's worth about £1,500.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39If it had the dust jacket on it, it would be worth £100,000.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40- No! - AUDIENCE GASPS
0:24:40 > 0:24:44So we've now got to the stage where the paper around the book
0:24:44 > 0:24:48is worth about 99% of the value of the book.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- That's daft, isn't it?- It's bonkers.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52On the other hand, I find it rather comforting
0:24:52 > 0:24:55that I live in a world where someone will pay that much
0:24:55 > 0:24:58for something that beautiful.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Right. Now then, you have 10 points as well, of course.
0:25:01 > 0:25:0424 is still the score to beat. Let's see if you can do it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Two minutes on your general knowledge, starting now.
