So, children are more interested in food than they used to be,

-I think that's true, isn't it?

-It matters that they eat well?

-Yeah, I think so.

I think there's a really exciting thing about being in the kitchen

and making mess and it's really engaging

and they can use their hands and pretty much every child I meet

who watches my show goes into the kitchen and cooks

after watching it, which is great, so they're not just sitting

watching television, it's actually empowering them

to go and do something, which is great.

Except that their mothers curse you while they go

and clean the kitchen for three hours afterwards.

But we have a tidy up song, that helps!

-Oh, go on, do it, the tidy up song.

Oh, yes!

-Now you have to do it!

-Yeah, right!

Moving very rapidly on,

-you have three points.

-I do have three points.

Let's see how you do.

You've got two minutes of general knowledge coming up

-and a bonus obviously for the song.

because you were a rather bad boy, weren't you?

-You kept bunking off school?

-Yeah.

They sent you to some sort of club,

hoping you would improve but you left there one afternoon

and saw a big crowd of people and you went to see what was going on?

Yeah, it was a bit crazy.

I just walked round the corner one day,

saw a big group of people and didn't really know what's going on.

I thought, is there a fight or what's going on? I didn't know.

I went running over and I remember meeting Des Hamilton,

a casting director for Shane Meadows,

and he was casting for a film and I kind of thought, well,

I'll never be in a film.

I'm from this rough estate, I never thought anything of it

so I said to him, if you want me to audition for this film,

I want a fiver for my time. So I charged him to audition.

I can just imagine it now.

Auditioning for Spielberg and asking him for 100 quid!

I think they just admired my cheek.

There was a series of auditions but obviously the more I auditioned,

the more I charged.

The first one was a fiver, then it was a tenner,

then it was a PlayStation

and they wanted to get in touch with me so I needed a mobile phone.

-And the part was in This Is England?

-Yeah.

-You played a stroppy kid.

I did, I played very much myself with a shaved head!

It was an amazing experience and some of the people I've met,

I'm with a lot of them tomorrow, I've made lifelong friends

and it's been 10 years now.

And you're the world expert on auditioning as well.

-Yes, just not a world expert on shows like this.

-Well, we'll see.

You've got two minutes of questions on your general knowledge.

Here we go.

Your other passes.

Thor is the God of Thunder.

and Jack Reacher is the part that Tom Cruise played,

but how he got to be six foot five, heaven knows.

-Exactly.

Anyway, there you are, you now have a total, Thomas, of seven points.

Thank you.

And now Sheila again, please.

And you chose John Paul II.

Very popular Pope.

He did a lot of things that people wanted to see popes do.

Yeah, he did. The reason he stuck with me

right from the beginning, really -

I was about 12 when he became Pope, then 15 when he came to the UK.

His message to young people was just, "You can do anything,"

and I'm on Mastermind - he was right!

He was dead right, wasn't he?

Have popes nowadays in the television age got to be personalities?

I don't think they do have to be personalities, actually,

because there was a great deal of "Urgh" about Benedict

-from the media point of view.

-Yeah.

But I saw him give a speech to thousands of young children

in Twickenham when he was visiting the UK and again,

the content of that was incredibly enlivening

and confidence-giving and he just had a very different style

and wasn't as young, for a start, as John Paul when he became Pope,

so I don't think it's essential,

but I suspect we'll continue to see more of the John Paul...

-It helps to be charismatic, doesn't it?

-Absolutely.

-Right, Shelagh, you have seven points.

-OK.

BUZZER SOUNDS

Pass.

-Pork.

-Just couldn't be bothered!

LAUGHTER

Well, be honest about it!

Right, anyway, that was one of your passes.

It was pork and the other two passes,

the hollow shaft of a feather - a quill.

And that song - How Deep Is Your Love?

But, Shelagh, you've now rocketed up to 21 points.

APPLAUSE

And finally, Mick again, please.

And you had quite a career as a jockey,

cos you won the Grand National

and you had a fall in another Grand National

and that effectively ended your career.

Yeah, that was...

-the last time I rode a horse.

-Really? You've not been on one since?

No, I've got quite a lot of metalwork down my spine.

-Did you actually break your spine?

-I did, C3, 4, 5, and 6.

-Oof!

I wouldn't recommend it.

No. And is it still... I mean, are you still in pain?

No, not really. Only when I lose money.

LAUGHTER

Now, it is said that riding is more dangerous than boxing.

It can be and people forget,

horses, they're animals. They have a brain of their own

and sometimes what you want them to do

is not exactly what they want to do

and occasionally you have a communication clash.

That's what happens to an awful lot of jockeys

and they realise that day and that little light comes on

in your head and you realise you're not actually in control,

you just think you are.

Once you realise that that day is gone,

it's time to give up.

Right, well, that's another career I'm going to rule out from now on.

Oof! Scary. You've got ten points and 21 is the score to beat.

Two minutes in which to do it. Here we go.
