It's all right, mate. No worries.

I can't help you, I've never seen the Python films.

-I've already done that round!

-Oh, right. I was asleep.

LAUGHTER

I was going to cough the answers like that bloke did on Millionaire.

LAUGHTER

-Knights who say...

-HE COUGHS

Do you never feel like you'd like to just shut him in his kennel

and throw away the key?

That's a bit harsh, John, isn't it?

Don't you have some bones and biscuits to go and chew, Hacks?

I'll have a meat paste sandwich, if you've got one going.

-It was more of a hint to go away...

-All right, I'll keep quiet now.

Carry on. Good luck. He's no chance, has he?

LAUGHTER

and ask you to explain your sort of video things that you do.

Well, I started out with my comedy partner Joe Cornish

making recreations of films and TV shows with toys,

stuffed toys with coat hangers up them. That was very happy times.

And your Adam and Joe show was very successful. I mean, that did well.

It was... Yeah, it was a cult hit.

But that sort of stuff is happening on YouTube all over the place.

-Yeah.

-I mean, kids now, I suspect,

watch as much YouTube as they do television, just about.

Well, Gangnam Style has on YouTube close to a billion views,

so...yeah, you know, people...

It's a common language, I think.

-But is it in danger of taking over from television?

-I don't know.

There's still a huge amount of people for whom the common language

is what they saw on TV and there's a sort of legitimacy about TV

that I still think dominates, you know?

Right, now, Adam, you have 10 points,

and the score to beat, as we speak, is 20.

So, let's see if you can do that with your general knowledge.

Two minutes starting now.

In Blackadder Goes Forth, Blackadder says the films of a certain silent screen star

-Charlie Chaplin.

Cheddar Gorge and the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey?

That revue that opened in Edinburgh was Beyond The Fringe.

But you've leapt into the lead. 24 points.

APPLAUSE

And now Nelufar again, please.

And...you present Newsround.

-I do.

-What is it about...? What's the trick to doing it?

Because you're addressing an audience

who aren't essentially desperately interested in the news.

How do you get their interest and inform them

without patronising them and making it over-simple?

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. You don't patronise them.

That's the first rule.

I wouldn't start a show, "Hi, children, welcome to Newsround.

"First today, we're going to talk about Syria."

-It's just sounds really strange...

-So, what would you say?

-"Good afternoon, welcome to Newsround, I'm Nel."

-OK.

Right, so you wouldn't say, "Hi, young people."

I wouldn't be like, "Yo!"

LAUGHTER

-Why not? It sounds rather good!

-Would you start your show...?

-I do most mornings. I do.

-Do you?! LAUGHTER

I think the beauty of Newsround is that you can...

It's about explaining something.

We covered what happened with Hurricane Katrina

or these massive, massive subjects.

Kids know a lot more than what we give them credit for.

They always overhear what their parents are listening to,

they always listen to Five Live or they'll watch the Ten O'Clock News

-so, they're aware.

-Well, it's certainly a good programme.

Right, now, you have 10 points as well, of course,

and 24 is now the score to beat.

So, let's see if you can do it with your general knowledge.

Two minutes, here we go.

the theme song for the Bond film Skyfall?

It's also the title of a musical about her.

-Pass.

-Hinduism.

-Which boy band reformed for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest,

coming 11th with the song I Can?

-Blue?

-Which river, with the lowest elevation in the world,

flows through the Sea of Galilee

-before emptying into the Dead Sea?

-BEEP

-The Red Sea?

-The River Jordan.

I can't imagine how stupid I look right now!

Look, it's sitting in that chair. Anyway, you did very well.

I'll give you your passes first. It was Evita...

-Oh!

-Yeah, yeah, but you knew that...

I was thinking Madonna, yeah.

Will.i.am was the singer that you nearly got.

And this one, you will kick yourself for.

It was David Cameron who beat...

-Oh, for goodness' sake!

-I know, I know.

And Ben Ainslie was the yachtsman who became...and all that.

But, Nelufar, you have 20 points.

APPLAUSE

And...

now Neil again, please.

And you are going to have to explain about your passion,

I think not too strong a word, for rare books.

It's not too strong a word. I think they're important.

Anyone who reads, collects over the course of a reading life,

and the rare books, the first editions,

are the first time those literary grenades went off,

and I find that rather romantic.

So, what was it that, right at the beginning, said,

"I've got to have a first edition of..." whatever it was...?

Well, it started back in 1984,

-curiously enough, since that's the title of a book.

-Yep.

I was reading A Dance To The Music Of Time by Anthony Powell,

which is a 12-volume thing,

and I was on number 11, and I was coming through Cecil Court in London,

which is a...very well-known centre for rare books,

and in the window of one of those bookshops was the first edition,

I didn't know it was that, but it was the last volume in that cycle,

and it was shiny and gorgeous

and I thought that might be a suitably ceremonial way

to finish reading this long...12-volume novel.

So, I went in and asked how much it cost, and he told me.

And I then said what I've said to book dealers

very many times over the years, "How much?!"

-LAUGHTER

-How much was it?

It was actually only... It was 30 quid,

but 30 quid was a lot in 1984, and it was certainly a lot to me.

But I bought it, and that was my mistake,

-because then, of course, I wanted the other 11.

-Ah!

Let me tell you this.

Condition is everything, in 20th-century books especially.

If you have a first edition of The Great Gatsby, say,

it's a lovely thing,

it's almost certainly not going to be in its dust wrapper,

because people used to take those off when they got them home

-and throw them away...

-Yes.

You have a book that's worth about £1,500.

If it had the dust jacket on it, it would be worth £100,000.

-No!

-AUDIENCE GASPS

So we've now got to the stage where the paper around the book

is worth about 99% of the value of the book.

-That's daft, isn't it?

-It's bonkers.

On the other hand, I find it rather comforting

that I live in a world where someone will pay that much

for something that beautiful.

Right. Now then, you have 10 points as well, of course.

24 is still the score to beat. Let's see if you can do it.
