0:11:41 > 0:11:44Look, you've got to tell us about the famous race where your brother -

0:11:58 > 0:12:01of the World Championship Series and win the world title.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04And I'm running behind in third, second, third place,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06thinking, "Oh, perfect end to the year."
0:12:06 > 0:12:08And literally, I go round the last corner and see him stumbling,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and straightaway I know he's got heat exhaustion.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So without really giving it too much thought,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I just grabbed him and pulled him across the line, effectively.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17But about 50 metres before the line, I realised
0:12:17 > 0:12:21he needed to cross the line before me to get the points
0:12:21 > 0:12:24for the World Series, and at this point, he crossed the finishing line
0:12:24 > 0:12:28and he's kind of unconscious and spends the next hour in A&E really.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29LAUGHTER
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yeah, and that's the story really.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34But all that was going through your mind in those,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- it could only have been...? - To begin with, yeah...
0:12:36 > 0:12:38To begin with, nothing went through my mind,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40it was like an instinctive decision to get him to the finish line.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Most people's instinct would have been to step on him and carry on. LAUGHTER
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Jonathan, what did you think of it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, at the time, not a lot, I can't remember anything.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But obviously afterwards, yeah.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I wouldn't have got to that finish line without Alistair helping me.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56But I can't help him now, he's on his own now.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57LAUGHTER
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Would you do the same for him if...?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You'd have to say yes to that, wouldn't you?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Actually he had a similar thing in 2010 and I ran straight past him,
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I didn't help him.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07LAUGHTER
0:13:09 > 0:13:10But now...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- But now I'd definitely help him out, so...- What, right now?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16No, not now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well, I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Anyway, here we go.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Unaided, you now have two minutes of questions on general knowledge.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And I can assure you, however difficult it may be,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28it will not be as tough as running a tri...
