Why would you go on national television

0:00:010:00:03

to try to be clever? Not a good move, really.

0:00:030:00:06

Imagine dropping out in a rap, "I won Celebrity Mastermind."

0:00:060:00:09

It's not going to happen, though.

0:00:090:00:11

I'm split down the middle between absolute raw fear

0:00:110:00:14

and, er...a kind of terrible overconfidence.

0:00:140:00:18

Yeah, I'm very competitive.

0:00:180:00:20

I pretend not to be, but I'll be gutted if I don't win.

0:00:200:00:23

Four celebrities who hope they know everything there is to know about their specialist subject.

0:00:230:00:28

Who will be crowned tonight's Celebrity Mastermind?

0:00:280:00:32

First in the spotlight tonight is the writer and star of Citizen Khan,

0:00:480:00:52

Adil Ray. He's answering questions on another sitcom, Fawlty Towers.

0:00:520:00:56

Next, Dr Mark Porter. His specialist subject, the Porsche 911.

0:00:560:01:02

The comedian Kevin Eldon will be answering questions

0:01:020:01:04

on the music of the Beatles.

0:01:040:01:06

And the rapper Jordan Stevens from Rizzle Kicks, and his subject

0:01:060:01:10

is the acclaimed palaeontologist Ross Geller from Friends.

0:01:100:01:14

APPLAUSE

0:01:140:01:16

Hello. I'm John Humphrys, and welcome to Celebrity Mastermind.

0:01:240:01:30

Almost exactly the same as the ordinary one,

0:01:300:01:33

but not quite. They are not quizzers.

0:01:330:01:35

The rules are the same, though.

0:01:350:01:37

One set of questions on their specialist subject

0:01:370:01:40

and another on their general knowledge.

0:01:400:01:42

The prize is beyond mere monetary value -

0:01:420:01:45

a trophy and the honour of forever being able to claim

0:01:450:01:49

they were a Celebrity Mastermind champion.

0:01:490:01:51

So, let's ask our first contender to join us, please.

0:01:510:01:54

You may not love it so much in a moment.

-While Basil is concussed

0:02:220:02:24

and trying not to mention the war, he takes The Germans' lunch order.

0:02:240:02:27

They ask for a prawn cocktail, a pickled herring

0:02:270:02:29

and four cold meat salads but he reads it back

0:02:290:02:32

as "a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering" and what type of salad?

0:02:320:02:35

Er...cheese.

to tell one of O'Reilly's men that he is a hideous what?

0:02:540:02:57

-Orang-utan.

-Orang-utan. Manuel's pet "filigree Siberian hamster",

0:02:570:03:01

is actually a rat. When Basil finds it, he asks Manuel

0:03:010:03:04

if he's ever heard of which disease?

0:03:040:03:06

-Pass.

-When Polly refuses to impersonate Sybil

0:03:180:03:19

In Waldorf Salad, Basil describes an author's work

0:03:190:03:22

0:03:450:03:46

BEEP The Major.

0:03:460:03:48

The Major is correct.

0:03:480:03:50

You had one pass, Adil.

0:03:550:03:59

Thank you very much. APPLAUSE

0:03:590:04:02

And our next contender, please.

0:04:080:04:10

Right.

0:04:140:04:15

0:04:200:04:23

0:04:230:04:25

The Porsche 911 was introduced at which motor show in 1963?

0:04:250:04:28

-Correct. Each generation of the 911 is identified

0:04:280:04:31

0:04:310:04:34

Porsche made a fundamental change to the car's engine design

0:04:490:04:52

of the first Porsche Turbo, that went on the market in 1975?

0:04:520:04:55

930.

0:04:550:04:57

Porsche had to change the car's name from 901 to 911

0:04:570:05:01

because another manufacturer had exclusive rights to name

0:05:010:05:04

its cars with three-digit numbers that had a zero in the middle.

0:05:040:05:07

-Which manufacturer was that?

Monte Carlo Rally.

0:05:170:05:19

In the early '80s,

0:05:190:05:20

Porsche produced a special edition of the 930 Turbo

0:05:200:05:23

with a modified front end that was referred to as the "flat nose"

0:05:230:05:26

or "slant nose". What German name was it known by?

0:05:260:05:29

Er, Flachbau.

0:05:290:05:31

0:05:310:05:34

made its racing debut at which 24-hour race?

0:05:340:05:37

It was leading until near the end when it had engine problems.

0:05:370:05:40

Le Mans.

0:05:400:05:41

No, Nurburgring.

0:05:410:05:42

Which Hong-Kong-born designer was responsible for the styling

0:05:420:05:45

of the 996 which was introduced in the late '90s?

0:05:450:05:48

Pinky Lai.

0:05:480:05:49

From 1990, the 964 Carrera 2

0:05:490:05:52

was available with an automatic transmission that could also

0:05:520:05:55

-be operated manually.

-BEEP

0:05:550:05:56

What name was given to the new gearbox?

0:10:030:10:06

You were close, though! You had one pass.

Let's get on with it and ask Adil to join us again, please.

0:10:530:10:57

And...

0:10:570:10:58

I enjoy going first, John, that's why...

0:11:000:11:02

It was noble of you to volunteer.

0:11:020:11:05

Someone's got to.

0:11:050:11:06

Interesting combination of jobs that you've had.

0:11:060:11:09

I mean, journalist, some really serious stuff,

0:11:090:11:13

and actor and writer of a sitcom?

0:11:130:11:15

-How do you square the two?

-It's called blagging, actually.

0:11:150:11:19

No, you know, I'm quite lucky to be able to vary my work a little bit,

0:11:190:11:24

and I have sort of an idea that if you really want to do something

0:11:240:11:27

-you should go for it.

-But what do you want to do? You don't seem to know!

0:11:270:11:31

Have you been speaking to my mum?!

0:11:310:11:34

I think comedy was always the dream.

0:11:340:11:36

I always wanted to be a part of a comedy.

0:11:360:11:38

I never thought I'd be creating my own sitcom

0:11:380:11:40

so soon in my comedy career, but it's great!

0:11:400:11:42

Do people recognise you?

0:11:420:11:43

Er, only when I do the throat-clear, sometimes.

0:11:430:11:46

-Go on, do it.

-You have to do it with me, though, John.

0:11:460:11:49

-Ah.

-Come on. I'll only do it if you do it.

-Tell me what to do.

0:11:490:11:53

OK. Just listen. RASPS

0:11:530:11:55

-No!

-Come on!

0:11:550:11:57

You promised!

0:11:570:11:58

-You've just done it!

-You promised!

0:11:580:12:00

-I never did.

-BBC Values, come on.

-I am a journalist, all right?

0:12:000:12:04

-Enough said. I'm not going to go...

-RASPS

0:12:040:12:08

LAUGHTER

0:12:080:12:09

You'd never do that.

0:12:090:12:10

Right. Look, Adil, you got points.

0:12:100:12:13

-I know.

-So you've got a bit of ground to make up.

0:12:130:12:16

I don't want to intimidate you, but it could be very humiliating.

0:12:160:12:19

LAUGHTER

0:12:190:12:20

Could be?! It already is!

0:12:200:12:22

Here we go. Starting now.

0:12:230:12:25

-Now, you're a GP, a proper GP.

0:16:030:16:07

0:16:070:16:10

Well, you have to be courteous and everything,

0:16:100:16:13

but it's very difficult to give anyone a diagnosis.

0:16:130:16:16

They never actually...expose their frailties to you, do they?

0:16:160:16:22

-I'm trying to find a subtle way of putting this.

-No.

0:16:220:16:24

I think a lot of doctors will realise, when you meet Mrs Smith,

0:16:240:16:27

you can't remember which bit of her body to look at...

0:16:410:16:45

-I'll be happy with double figures.

-Sorry.

0:16:460:16:49

0:20:020:20:05

And I was like, "Nah, that's not happening."

0:20:050:20:07

We did another video, fortunately it was almost like an update,

0:20:070:20:11

and then, you know, I'm not really saying much now it's got 14 million.

0:20:110:20:14

They're like, "You were whinging about 100,000 - shut up."

0:20:140:20:16

-14 million is just ridiculous.

About six million of them are people who don't even like the song.

0:20:180:20:21

LAUGHTER

Long gone are the days when to be a musician
