0:14:45 > 0:14:47You always know it afterwards, don't you?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49That's the thing about this quiz.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Anyway, Lisa, you've now scored a very respectable total of 12 points.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55APPLAUSE
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And now Conor again, please.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10And you do the lot in terms of sports commentary.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14You do football, you do rugby, you do golf.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Jack of all trades. - Jack of all trades.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Master of none.- And master of all.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19What's the most difficult?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Most difficult?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24What I do find challenging is in golf, you've got to whisper.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Because you are right there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28In a football ground, you are up in the stand, you're 100m away.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30But in golf, you are beside the green.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Have you got people listening to you around you?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's the golfers I'm worried about.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36There's a famous story of a commentator who got caught
0:15:36 > 0:15:38a little bit too close to the green.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41He's describing the putt and goes, "It's 14ft, it's downhill,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42"he sends it on its way.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45"Oh, it's edged right to the left. It's a drop shot, it's a bogey."
0:15:45 > 0:15:48And the golfer turns round and he says, "Oy, you. Shut it!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51"And by the way, it was right to left, not left to right."
0:15:51 > 0:15:53LAUGHTER
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I thought perhaps you would have said rugby
0:15:55 > 0:15:58because the rules are now so complicated.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59What's great with rugby is,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02even the people who play it don't fully understand the rules.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- That's true.- Absolutely, it's a very complicated game.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I actually think, though, it's an attraction of rugby, particularly
0:16:08 > 0:16:11watching it on television, is the discussion you have.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Why was that a penalty? Let's discuss it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's not always straightforward. But that's actually part of what
0:16:15 > 0:16:18draws people into the game, to understand it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Indeed. Anyway, look, you've got 9 points.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23You have got two minutes now on general knowledge.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Let's see how you do. Here we go.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53APPLAUSE
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And now Gary again, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02And...
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Can anybody tell a joke or is it true that it's the way you tell 'em?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Honestly, I think timing is a little bit of a myth.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17People talk it up as being the epitome of everything.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think the secret to timing is actually relatively simple.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You don't speak too fast, you do a little pause before the funny bit.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I don't think that's a great difficulty. The main thing about
0:19:26 > 0:19:29being a comedian is just having the nerve to get up there and do it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- If you can get through that... - It can't be that simple.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Yeah, I genuinely think it is.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I think it's just... Just to make you practice.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37As long as you can get up there then you can bang
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- out some gags.- Even people who we'd think of as just naturally funny?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I don't know, Ken Dodd or Eric Morecambe or somebody.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You know, you would assume that they've got that particular gift
0:19:47 > 0:19:49of just being able to stand there and make people laugh.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51They still had to learn it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Lots of people are funny but you have to learn how to do
0:19:54 > 0:19:56it on a stage, but that's just practice.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So I don't think it's as rare a skill as it...
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I shouldn't say that. It's bad for business.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I was going to say... THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- ..very few of us who can do this.- You should hire me and pay me a fortune.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Well, exactly.- But no, I genuinely think that pretty much any skill,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13apart from maybe athletics where you have to be tall or strong,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15pretty much anything else I think can be learnt.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18There is one exception to that, general knowledge.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- LAUGHTER - I'll draw an exception on that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well, we are about to find out, aren't we?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Here we go. General knowledge. Two minutes.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59It's to do with your ears. It's to do with hearing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Impressionists are kind of a blank canvas and they can take people on.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Whereas doing character voices, you kind of invent the character
0:24:07 > 0:24:09and then build the voice onto it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So it's a different process. It's a slight tic in the brain.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Anybody you can't do?- Pffft!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I mean, some obviously are easier than others.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Like I say, you could have fooled me.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And that is the object of the exercise, isn't it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Let's see if I can fool you now in general knowledge.
