Episode 3 Celebrity Mastermind

I just don't want to embarrass myself, that's all.

If I can finish in the top four, I'll be happy.

I've never done it before, and I thought,

"Why not jump in at the deep end?" Boy, I'm an idiot!

The worst thing would be falling over on the way to the chair!

Who will be crowned tonight's Celebrity Mastermind?

is the Formula 1 commentator James Allen.

His specialist subject is Roald Dahl.

and early '50s were known by what two-word term used by Kerouac

and popularised by John Clellon Holmes in a New York Times article?

While in California with Rickey, Ponzo and Terry,

Which city does Sal describe as, "The loneliest

"and most brutal of American cities ... a jungle?"

Pass.

The Mexican border guard in Nuevo Laredo who tells Sal and Dean,

"Is not hard enjoin yourself in Mehico", introduces himself by what name?

Pass. I don't understand the questions!

Which American company published On The Road in September 1957?

The book soon became a bestseller.

Sorry...

In the lead, 11 points, David Bradley.

APPLAUSE

So, it is the General Knowledge round now

and if the scores are level

at the end of it then the person with the fewer passes is the winner.

Let's get on with it

and ask Shobu to come and join us again if she would, please.

And...

Citizen Khan. Mm-hm?

What is it about the programme that you think has made it work?

Cos it has worked very well, hasn't it?

Do you know, it's interesting?

Because a lot of people who come up to me, a lot of people enjoy it,

they enjoy the foibles, the funniness, Mr Khan falling down -

a lot of young kids, interestingly enough. I was surprised about that.

A lot of 12, 13, 14-year-old boys really enjoy all the rough and tumble

of, you know, literally falling over, that sort of thing.

And it is... You know, I think if you can identify with the family,

you can say, "I see traits of my father or my mother

"or my children or whatever in that..."

The best thing about being in a sitcom

because it's your first leading role in a sitcom, isn't it? Yes.

Best thing about it?

Well, you get to have fun and people see you as somebody who can be

funny at times, even if it's with lines provided.

And it's different from doing dramatic roles, which is

what I seem to have mainly done. Yeah. So it is quite different.

It is very, very different and it's fun to be able to do that

and to say, "OK, I can do that. That'll give me something else."

All right. Look, you got five points, Shobu.

Let's see how you get on. You've now got two minutes... OK.

..to race ahead of the pack with your general knowledge. Here we go.

Your passes - that seaport,

Look, you got ten points, Shobu, well done. Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

And now Chris again, please.

Come and sit yourself back down again.

Stand-up versus sitcom, because you are now in Hebburn,

which is a district of Newcastle.

Yeah, it's North East.

Stand-up's my favourite.

I do love doing sitcoms but stand-up's my favourite.

It's got to be much more difficult.

Sitcoms, somebody writes the lines for you, as Shobu was just saying.

They write the lines for you in sitcoms.

Yeah, but I can't remember them.

LAUGHTER

Stand-up, I can go home after two hours.

There's that. You've got to stay there all day

when you're doing a sitcom.

What's good about stand-up?

I can't think of anything more scary off-hand.

I just love it. I don't know, I really do.

I get nervous every time and sometimes, if I'm not nervous,

I start worrying that I'm not nervous and then I get nervous

because I'm not nervous, so I'm always nervous.

Not as nervous as this, but I am always nervous.

All right, good. Now, you've got eight points. OK.

So let's see how you do with your general knowledge.

Two minutes starting now.

Er... BEEP

If I can't get it, I might as well go for a silly joke. Quite!

The tennis player who said she'd play with Andy Murray

so long as he got no serves was Serena Williams

and the Spanish actor in that James Bond film was Javier Bardem.

Chris, you have 13 points.

APPLAUSE

And now James again, please.

You've already got nine points so you're well on your way.

Formula 1, what a bizarre sport. Couldn't agree more.

Well, thank you very much!

It's a bizarre sport populated by extreme characters

and there's probably a lot of parallels

between that and Roald Dahl, actually.

His world is populated by very extreme characters.

From Bernie Ecclestone on down, it's an amazing world.

It's a soap opera week on week.

It's a sporting occasion for about two hours on a Sunday,

but the rest of it is just a giant soap opera, really.

But it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats

and hundreds of millions of people round the world tune in.

Let me ask you the obvious question.

I'm sure everybody asks you this one -

surely, if you've got the fastest car, you'll win.

Not always, no.

When you know what you're looking at,

when the drivers are out on the circuit

and they're just balancing the car right on the very limit.

You couldn't dream of doing that yourself in a car.

It's just another world away

from what anybody in this room is capable of doing.

Yeah. Maybe the onboard cameras make it look easy but trust me,

it's not easy. When you go and watch these guys, Hamilton, Vettel,

and they're right on the limit going through corners,

one tiny bit more and the whole car would be into the barriers.

It's just beautiful to watch.

Right, James, you've got nine points. General Knowledge coming up.

Landscape.

Oh... Yeah.

Your one pass - that chapel in The Da Vinci Code, Rosslyn Chapel.

But you've got, James, 23 points.

APPLAUSE

And finally, David again, please.

I was going to say, "Wipe the smile off your face after that!"

Yeah, 23 points. Anyway, you've got 11 already to start with.

Now, you are...

I was going to say, "a character actor".

you might even say you are THE character actor.

What's the biggest part you've played?

Er, God.

LAUGHTER

God? Yes, at the National Theatre in 1999.

How do you play God?

With reverence, obviously. Well, you play him from Yorkshire.

LAUGHTER

How do you think people know you?

In what role do you reckon they know you?

I suppose the series of Potter films

were the most high-profile

of everything I've done.

But I get a lot of people saying...

As soon as they say, "Excuse me, mate, will you settle an argument?"

I know it's going to be,

"My wife says you're an actor, you're off the telly, but I don't know you."

Yeah. "What have you been in?" If I say "Crimewatch",

it keeps the conversation nice and short.

LAUGHTER

I enjoy talking to people about past stuff.

and 23 is the score to beat
