Episode 4 Celebrity Mastermind

I ran an Olympic final in front of 112,000 people

and I'm thinking it's actually getting onto a par with that.

I haven't been this nervous for many, many years.

I'm setting out to lose and then if I win, that'll be a real bonus.

To be sitting in a chair in the studio

under lights being scrutinised,

being asked questions with a time limit is my idea of hell.

I really don't want to come last.

And if I do come last, I hope I don't get something awful

like three points because I'd never live it down.

Four celebrities who hope

they know everything there is to know about their specialist subject.

Who will be crowned tonight's Celebrity Mastermind?

First in the spotlight tonight is the comedian Josh Widdicombe.

He's answering questions on the band Blur.

Next, the athletics commentator Katharine Merry.

Her specialist subject, Aston Villa.

The Emmerdale actress Sian Reese-Williams will be answering

questions on the sitcom Black Books.

And wildlife presenter Nick Baker,

his subject - the pioneering scientist Alfred Russel Wallace.

APPLAUSE

And our final contender, please.

And your name is?

Your chosen charity?

And your chosen subject?

Alfred Russel Wallace, here we go, 90 seconds.

Wallace is credited with formulating the theory of evolution

by natural selection along with another naturalist whose

theory was presented along with his at a meeting

of the Linnean Society in 1858, who was the other naturalist?

-Charles Darwin.

-Wallace first developed his theory

during his expedition to Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies.

What was the title of the book he published in 1869

on the natural history of that region?

The Malay Archipelago.

Wallace was influenced by the ideas of a Welsh socialist and agnostic

whom he later described as one of the greatest men of the 19th century

but too far in advance of his time. Who was he?

-Spencer?

-No, Robert Owen.

What primates species known to the native Dyaks as "mayas"

did Wallace encounter for the first time in Borneo in March 1855?

Orang-utan.

In the concluding passage of The Malay Archipelago,

Wallace observes that "the wealth and knowledge and culture of the few

"do not constitute...?"

Pass.

during his collecting expedition to the Amazon?

Stevens.

What kind of gathering that was soon to become a regular event

in Wallace's life, did he attend for the first time on 22nd July 1865?

The Royal Geographic...

No. A seance. Wallace's Amazon collections were destroyed

when the ship he was on caught fire, in July 1852.

What was the name of the ship?

The Helen.

Yes. In an 1869 article Wallace suggested that

Overruling Intelligence guided the progress of human evolution.

In which journal did Wallace's article appear?

Pass.

Wallace gave evidence against a medical policy to a Royal Commission

in 1890 and published a pamphlet in which he described it as

"a delusion." What was the policy?

BEEP

No idea at all.

Well, I'll tell you, cos you're out of time.

It's compulsory vaccination.

And your other two passes. That article Wallace wrote in 1869 was

in the Quarterly Review. And... "The wealth and knowledge and

"culture of the few do not constitute civilisation."

That's what he said, famously. Nick, you got five points.

APPLAUSE

A couple of high scores there in the first round.

Let's have a look at all of them.

In fourth place - five points - Nick Baker.

Third place - eight points - Katharine Merry.

Joint first place - 11 points apiece -

Josh Widdicombe and Sian Reese-Williams.

APPLAUSE

And it's the general knowledge round now.

If the scores are even at the end the round,

the person with the fewer passes is the winner.

Let's get on with it and ask Nick to join us again if he would, please.

Nick, what we didn't establish during those questions was

that Wallace was really Darwin,

in the sense that he had his ideas about the theory of evolution

at the same time as Darwin, and could easily have been as famous.

Yeah, to me, he was much more likable. He was an amazing guy.

Really interesting.

And always went for controversial theories and followed them up.

He was a working class naturalist and funded his way

around the world, whilst Darwin was kind of, he was a moneyed man.

He was very posh, wasn't he?

Yeah, he was posh and he was part of the intellectual set in London.

Wallace was a definite outsider.

He was going off having these Boys' Own adventures all

round the world, which is what they read like, if you read the books.

-Absolutely fantastic.

-What a fascinating man.

-Definitely.

-Right, Nick, you've got five points.

Let's see how you do with your general knowledge. Here we go.

-Is he really?

-He is.

-Urgh.

-And Gettysburg Address,

you'll really kick yourself for this one, bloke called Abraham Lincoln.

Nick, you've got 12 points.

APPLAUSE

Now, Katherine Merry again, please.

You start out with eight points, Katherine.

Great athlete and now commentator. What is the scariest?

You know, that moment when the red light comes on or the gun fires?

It's been surpassed by this. Both of those.

-So this is the scariest?

-Yeah.

With athletics, or anything that you're comfortable with, you're in control.

So, running, I was always OK. My Olympic final I wasn't too nervous.

Just a little bit. And that's fine.

But there must have been occasions, surely, when they're about to

fire the gun and you're thinking, ah, I'm not ready for this. No?

-No, never.

-Never?

-No, you squash those very quickly.

-Really?

-As soon as they start floating...you can't, there's nothing

you can do at that moment in time. Very similar to sitting here now,

in terms of looking forward to these general knowledge questions.

Nothing you can do. You've just got to take it as it comes.

Out of one's comfort zone.

That's it, isn't it? It's being in your comfort zone.

Well, you were in your comfort zone on the track,

and you're certainly in your comfort zone with your commentating as well.

-Oh, gosh!

-Let's see how you do with your...

It's only two minutes. Think of it in those terms.

-It'll be all over two minutes from now.

-OK.

-You just pretend that it's going well.

-It must be horrible. Come on.

-It must be awful.

-It is, John.

But I'm trying to concentrate on the fact...

Trying to cheer yourself up a bit.

I'm trying to keep my mind on the fact

I'm in the middle of a really important general knowledge quiz.

LAUGHTER

I feel like you've been paid to psyche me out

by the other contestants.

You're much less intimidating in the flesh.

On TV I thought, I'm going to be scared of Humphrys.

But I think we've really got a bond.

LAUGHTER

Which questions would you like me to ask?

-Look, you've got 11 points already.

-OK.

-Which is very high.

You've now got two minutes of general knowledge,
