Fell Beck was that one,

it's one of the largest cave chambers in Britain, Gaping Gill.

So now, the general knowledge round,

0:11:140:11:16

0:11:160:11:19

taken into account, and the person with the fewer passes is the winner.

0:11:190:11:22

So let us get on with it and ask Alistair to join us again, please.

0:11:220:11:26

And I have to ask you about this triathlon thing.

0:11:260:11:30

Swimming is difficult, running is difficult, cycling is difficult.

0:11:300:11:33

-Why would you want to do all three?

-I don't know, really.

0:11:330:11:37

I just started when I was eight years old and kind of carried on.

0:11:370:11:39

-Did you?

-And here I am now.

0:11:390:11:41

Look, you've got to tell us about the famous race where your brother -

0:11:410:11:44

who is in the audience, I think, I'm right in saying, there he is.

0:11:440:11:47

-Hello.

-Yeah.

0:11:470:11:49

APPLAUSE

0:11:490:11:51

And... And...tell us about it.

0:11:520:11:56

Jonny's about to win the final race

0:11:560:11:58

of the World Championship Series and win the world title.

0:11:580:12:01

And I'm running behind in third, second, third place,

0:12:010:12:04

thinking, "Oh, perfect end to the year."

0:12:040:12:06

And literally, I go round the last corner and see him stumbling,

0:12:060:12:08

and straightaway I know he's got heat exhaustion.

0:12:080:12:10

So without really giving it too much thought,

0:12:100:12:12

I just grabbed him and pulled him across the line, effectively.

0:12:120:12:15

But about 50 metres before the line, I realised

0:12:150:12:17

he needed to cross the line before me to get the points

0:12:170:12:21

for the World Series, and at this point, he crossed the finishing line

0:12:210:12:24

and he's kind of unconscious and spends the next hour in A&E really.

0:12:240:12:28

LAUGHTER

0:12:280:12:29

Yeah, and that's the story really.

0:12:290:12:31

But all that was going through your mind in those,

0:12:310:12:34

-it could only have been...?

-To begin with, yeah...

0:12:340:12:36

To begin with, nothing went through my mind,

0:12:360:12:38

it was like an instinctive decision to get him to the finish line.

0:12:380:12:40

Most people's instinct would have been to step on him and carry on. LAUGHTER

0:12:400:12:44

Jonathan, what did you think of it?

0:12:440:12:46

Well, at the time, not a lot, I can't remember anything.

0:12:460:12:48

But obviously afterwards, yeah.

0:12:480:12:50

I wouldn't have got to that finish line without Alistair helping me.

0:12:500:12:53

But I can't help him now, he's on his own now.

0:12:530:12:56

LAUGHTER

0:12:560:12:57

Would you do the same for him if...?

0:12:570:12:59

You'd have to say yes to that, wouldn't you?

0:12:590:13:01

Actually he had a similar thing in 2010 and I ran straight past him,

0:13:010:13:04

I didn't help him.

0:13:040:13:05

LAUGHTER

0:13:050:13:07

But now...

0:13:090:13:10

-But now I'd definitely help him out, so...

-What, right now?

0:13:100:13:14

No, not now.

0:13:140:13:16

it will not be as tough as running a tri...

0:13:260:13:28

Well, not running, doing a triathlon.

-Look, you've done very well, you've got 16 points.

-Thank you.

0:15:530:15:56

APPLAUSE

0:15:560:15:59

And now Mitch again, please.

0:16:060:16:09

0:16:290:16:31

side-tracked into, rather than necessarily something

0:16:310:16:34

you always wanted to do when you grew up. It's become rather more glamorous in the meantime.

0:16:340:16:37

I think some of the younger comics probably DID

0:16:370:16:40

idolise comedians on TV when they were kids,

0:16:400:16:42

and they ARE doing what they always wanted to do when they grew up.

0:16:420:16:45

With my generation, it seemed to be something that, you know,

0:16:450:16:48

you kind of got distracted into while you were trying to do

0:16:480:16:50

other things, like be a proper actor or be a proper musician.

0:16:500:16:54

But you're right, it's become almost a career, hasn't it?

0:16:540:16:56

It's very much a career.

0:16:560:16:57

..a doctor, an engineer, a nurse, well, a stand-up.

0:16:570:17:00

-Oh, yeah.

-People...

-It's become very legit these days, yes.

-Right.

0:17:000:17:04

Now, look, you've got 11 points, which is a high score.

0:17:040:17:06

0:19:140:19:17

0:25:280:25:29

What French word meaning promise, is used for a person

0:25:290:25:32

0:26:070:26:08

Take a guess. Any old song.

0:26:100:26:13

Time Warp.

0:26:130:26:14

Yes. You see?

0:26:140:26:17

It's always worth taking a guess. However, perhaps you should

0:26:170:26:20

-have guessed at all the passes as well?

-I should have.

0:26:200:26:22

Because you would have got one. Ben Hur, obviously, was

-Oh!

-Yeah, I know. And the other one - you've had no direct experience

0:26:330:26:37

of this, I imagine, but that three-word name given

0:26:370:26:39

to the mixture if you're in labour...is gas and air.

0:26:390:26:43

-Gas and air! Of course it is.

-Mark...

0:26:430:26:45

Valiant try - 17 points.

So, that's the end of the contest - let us have a look

0:26:570:27:01

0:27:010:27:02

In fourth place, Alistair.

0:27:020:27:04

Third place...Mark.

0:27:040:27:07

Second place...and four passes, Reeta.

0:27:070:27:11

First place... No passes, Mitch.

0:27:110:27:14

APPLAUSE

0:27:170:27:20

Mitch...

0:27:320:27:34

-Come and get it.

-Thank you.

0:27:340:27:35

What about that?

This is very humbling, very flattering...

0:27:490:27:51

-It's got the little chair!

-Yeah.

-It's gorgeous.

0:27:510:27:53

We don't like to think of it as a little chair,

0:27:530:27:55

we like to think of it as intimidating and powerful

0:27:550:27:57

-and meaningful...

-Yeah.

-But you know...

0:27:570:27:59

It looked like a little one when I sat in it, I couldn't help

0:27:590:28:02

but notice, yeah.

0:28:020:28:03

-LAUGHTER

-I'm quite glad I managed to get both sides in.

0:28:030:28:05

-Anyway, well done. Congratulations.

-Thank you.
