0:11:360:11:38

So, let's start it and ask Russell to join us again, please.

0:11:380:11:42

Actually, I'll tell you, Russell, I'm surprised you scored any points

0:11:430:11:46

given that I'm told you've just ended, what is it?

0:11:460:11:49

-18 months of touring?

-Yes.

-And what's it like?

0:11:490:11:52

Cos you're in... You might be in Plymouth one day

0:11:520:11:54

-and Glasgow the next day.

-It's all right if you can eat before you go on

0:11:540:11:57

-but I suffer so badly with nerves, I can't.

-No.

0:11:570:11:59

By the time you've got offstage and done a meet and greet

0:11:590:12:01

it's 11.00, you're hunting for a kebab, screaming into your hoodie.

0:12:010:12:04

-It's not what I thought it was going to be.

-No, why?

0:12:040:12:07

-It's not all champagne and oysters?

-No...

0:12:070:12:09

0:12:090:12:11

I mean, I was going to get Imodium to sponsor my tour, put it that way.

0:12:110:12:14

LAUGHTER

0:12:140:12:17

So, why do you do it?

0:12:170:12:18

Some people go rock climbing, some people do ceramics,

0:12:180:12:21

some people do amateur dramatics. I wanted to push myself.

0:12:210:12:23

I was very shy at public speaking, very nervous person

0:12:230:12:26

and still am, like, before I go on,

0:12:260:12:28

so I thought, "I'm going to try it!" for a dare.

0:12:280:12:30

Went on stage, yes, I hated the nerves side of it

0:12:300:12:32

but when that first laugh came through,

0:12:320:12:34

there's something so addictive

0:12:340:12:36

and I was hooked on that cycle of nerves, reward, nerves, reward.

0:12:360:12:39

-Like some sort of monkey in a documentary.

-Wow.

0:12:390:12:42

LAUGHTER

0:12:420:12:43

Press the button, get the banana.

0:12:430:12:45

A bit more than that, I hope. And the nerves vanish,

0:12:450:12:48

once you've started it, then you're away?

0:12:480:12:50

As soon as you touch that mic, it's like an emotional stutter.

0:12:500:12:53

It vanishes. And afterwards, of course,

0:12:530:12:55

it's the best feeling in the world, if it's gone well.

0:12:550:12:57

If it hasn't, wow, I didn't realise grown men could sob like toddlers.

0:12:570:13:01

LAUGHTER

0:13:010:13:02

You can actually do a double breath. I thought only babies could do the...

0:13:020:13:06

IMITATES SOB

0:13:060:13:08

If you cry for long enough, a man can do it. A bit of trivia

0:13:080:13:10

LAUGHTER

0:15:400:15:42

0:19:070:19:10

-Not at all.

0:20:000:20:02

-..think, I'd rather play Hamlet or something?

-No, no.

0:20:020:20:05

As you know, in our business sometimes 95% of actors

0:20:050:20:07

0:20:070:20:10

In the last 37-38 years I've been very, very fortunate in that sense.

0:20:100:20:13

I was in A Touch Of Frost for 16 years, as well,

Then theatre before that and loads of television and films and...

0:20:160:20:20

You just build a career and you keep working

0:20:200:20:22

and I've been very fortunate to do that.

0:20:220:20:25

What about the audience itself,

0:20:250:20:26

because the show is aimed at a young audience, obviously?

0:20:300:20:32

growing older and, therefore, going out of the show?

0:20:320:20:34

I think the show has moved up a little bit.

0:20:340:20:36

They're taking in a larger scope of an audience. Older people and...

0:20:360:20:40

But even in that sense, I never found it a problem personally.

0:20:400:20:43

I mean, I was just happy to go in every day and work and do my job

0:20:430:20:47

and then go home at night and that's it, finished.

0:20:470:20:50

-You make it sound lovely.

-It is lovely, yeah.

-Good.

-Jimmy, you got 15 points.

-Thank you.

0:23:110:23:14

And finally, Dallas, again, please.

0:23:240:23:27

And you're the science man who was a duffer at science in school.

0:23:290:23:34

Yeah, I struggled with science at school.

0:23:340:23:36

But, I think, like most young people,

0:23:360:23:39

I loved science when I was a kid and I was obsessed by how things worked

0:23:390:23:42

and I was obsessed by the world and the universe and everything else.

0:23:420:23:45

And I think those sorts of things that you're very interested in

0:23:450:23:48

when you're young, you carry through life.

0:23:480:23:51

So, I've managed to make a career of talking about the things that I love.

0:23:510:23:56

You have to sort of wonder when your old teachers look at you on telly...

0:23:560:23:59

They're shocked.

0:24:040:24:06

I mean, I was really, really appalling. Really, really bad.

0:24:060:24:09

So, yeah, no, so I think they are surprised.

0:24:090:24:11

But it just goes to show, you know, it's...

0:24:110:24:13

I think there's a thing, particularly about science, people always think

0:24:130:24:16

if you weren't very good at science

0:24:160:24:17

you somehow shouldn't be interested in it.

0:24:170:24:20

But being interested in science is not just for scientists.

0:24:200:24:22

We should all enjoy the poetry and stories of science.

0:24:220:24:27

Right, you've got 12 points.

0:24:270:24:28

This is where it all unravels.

0:24:280:24:30

You are on course to become a champion, so, here we go

0:24:300:24:33
