0:11:14 > 0:11:17You knew I was going to say that, didn't you?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Given that you do sitcoms and sketches,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21what's the more difficult?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'd imagine sketches because you do a sitcom
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and you can keep the characters going throughout the whole six episodes,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29with a sketch you've got to find new characters all the time.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32That's true. You do have to burn out more material, as it were,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35but what I find really difficult is narrative,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37is the structure of telling a story
0:11:37 > 0:11:40over half an hour, so I find sitcom a lot more difficult to write.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Is there a kind of, something about a particular joke
0:11:43 > 0:11:46that makes you say, "They will definitely like that one"?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Yes, but you're often wrong.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I go in with an idea of where I think the big laughs are going to be
0:11:52 > 0:11:54or what the point of this scene is, and then -
0:11:54 > 0:11:56or this sketch - and then I'm often proved wrong by the audience.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Did you ever want to be nicer to yourself in Cabin Pressure than you were?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Cos you made yourself look a bit of a prat.- Oh, yes. No.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07The best part is always to play the idiot.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09And I did that, of course, in Round One.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12LAUGHTER
0:12:14 > 0:12:17On the contrary, MR James wrote an awful lot of books...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yeah, I should read them sometime.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21LAUGHTER

0:23:08 > 0:23:11but can most of us really tell the difference

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Can we really?- You absolutely can.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I think sometimes people get that mixed up. You know what?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23There's nothing wrong with liking cheap, everyday plonk.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Somebody asked me yesterday and I recommended a bottle of wine that was £4.50.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28It's absolutely fantastic.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Hang on a minute. What was it called? LAUGHTER
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And yet, it's a little bit... Sometimes it's the mood.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You know what? There are times I like to listen to Bananarama,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- which is the £4.99 of drinking a bottle of wine. - JOHN LAUGHS
0:23:40 > 0:23:42But, you know, there are great wines,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44they are the Ring Cycle of wine -
0:23:44 > 0:23:46they're quite hard work, but they're fabulous
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and you have to invest a bit of time in them.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53But, honestly, isn't there a lot of...posing with wine?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Well, do you know what?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58The one tip, if anybody wants to be a great wine expert
0:23:58 > 0:24:00within about five seconds,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02hold the glass lower down the stem
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and instantly you look like you know
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- exactly what you're talking about. - LAUGHTER
0:24:06 > 0:24:09"Darling, it's absolutely fantastic. I'm loving this so much."
0:24:09 > 0:24:10But it's the thing that we use...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I mean, I quite like this, I campaign for more wine snobbery.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- I think it's fantastic. - More wine snobbery?!- Absolutely.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Because it brings people out. - It keeps you in business. - It keeps me in business.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You don't need to indulge in it, but it's a thing people do
0:24:21 > 0:24:24to distinguish themselves. It's like wearing different clothes.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27But the difference is, being a wine snob and not being a wine snob
0:24:27 > 0:24:29might be about 40 quid a bottle.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Well, it can be.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Although, you know what? Some of the greatest wines in the world...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Go tonight, have fish and chips and a fino sherry.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Fino sherry is pretty good value, to be honest,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and it is the most fantastic combination.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42But fino sherry is something that people don't spend
0:24:42 > 0:24:44a lot of money on, and yet that and fish and chips,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48I would say is the greatest food and wine combination in Britain today.
