0:11:42 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, it is the General Knowledge round now
0:11:50 > 0:11:51and if the scores are level
0:11:51 > 0:11:54at the end of it then the person with the fewer passes is the winner.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Let's get on with it
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and ask Shobu to come and join us again if she would, please.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Citizen Khan. Mm-hm?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06What is it about the programme that you think has made it work?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Cos it has worked very well, hasn't it?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Do you know, it's interesting?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Because a lot of people who come up to me, a lot of people enjoy it,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16they enjoy the foibles, the funniness, Mr Khan falling down -
0:12:16 > 0:12:19a lot of young kids, interestingly enough. I was surprised about that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24A lot of 12, 13, 14-year-old boys really enjoy all the rough and tumble
0:12:24 > 0:12:26of, you know, literally falling over, that sort of thing.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31And it is... You know, I think if you can identify with the family,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34you can say, "I see traits of my father or my mother
0:12:34 > 0:12:36"or my children or whatever in that..."
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The best thing about being in a sitcom
0:12:38 > 0:12:42because it's your first leading role in a sitcom, isn't it? Yes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Best thing about it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Well, you get to have fun and people see you as somebody who can be
0:12:47 > 0:12:50funny at times, even if it's with lines provided.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And it's different from doing dramatic roles, which is

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Sitcoms, somebody writes the lines for you, as Shobu was just saying.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37They write the lines for you in sitcoms.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Yeah, but I can't remember them.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40LAUGHTER
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Stand-up, I can go home after two hours.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44There's that. You've got to stay there all day
0:16:44 > 0:16:46when you're doing a sitcom.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47What's good about stand-up?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I can't think of anything more scary off-hand.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I just love it. I don't know, I really do.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I get nervous every time and sometimes, if I'm not nervous,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I start worrying that I'm not nervous and then I get nervous
0:16:58 > 0:17:00because I'm not nervous, so I'm always nervous.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Not as nervous as this, but I am always nervous.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06All right, good. Now, you've got eight points. OK.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54You've already got nine points so you're well on your way.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Formula 1, what a bizarre sport. Couldn't agree more.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Well, thank you very much!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's a bizarre sport populated by extreme characters
0:20:06 > 0:20:08and there's probably a lot of parallels
0:20:08 > 0:20:11between that and Roald Dahl, actually.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14His world is populated by very extreme characters.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17From Bernie Ecclestone on down, it's an amazing world.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21It's a sporting occasion for about two hours on a Sunday,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24but the rest of it is just a giant soap opera, really.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26But it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and hundreds of millions of people round the world tune in.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Let me ask you the obvious question.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm sure everybody asks you this one -
0:20:32 > 0:20:34surely, if you've got the fastest car, you'll win.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Not always, no.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37When you know what you're looking at,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39when the drivers are out on the circuit
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and they're just balancing the car right on the very limit.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44You couldn't dream of doing that yourself in a car.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45It's just another world away
0:20:45 > 0:20:47from what anybody in this room is capable of doing.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Yeah. Maybe the onboard cameras make it look easy but trust me,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53it's not easy. When you go and watch these guys, Hamilton, Vettel,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and they're right on the limit going through corners,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58one tiny bit more and the whole car would be into the barriers.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It's just beautiful to watch.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Right, James, you've got nine points. General Knowledge coming up.
