John Humphrys, and four contenders | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
about to take a step into the unknown. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
They may think they've mastered their specialist subjects, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |

and the clock and the black chair - | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
and, of course, the general knowledge questions. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Two minutes on that, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |

let's have a look at all of those scores. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
In fourth place, eight points, John. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Third place, nine points, Martin. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Second place, 10 points, Vogue. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
First place, 12 points, Laurence. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
So, it is the general knowledge round now, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
and if there is tie at the end of it, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
then the number of passes are taken into account, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
and the person with fewer passes is the winner. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Let's get on with it, ask John to join us again, please... | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
..and, John, you've been a political correspondent, | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
now deputy editor, of course, for a very long time, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
and I wonder how many times you've heard people say, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
as everybody is saying now, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
"God, we've never gone through a period like this before." | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Yes, they're all saying it now. We haven't. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
I've covered politics for 35 years, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
and, at a certain point, two, three years ago, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
you think you've more or less seen everything. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Now I'm seeing things I've never seen almost every week... | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-Such as? -..that passes. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
The condition of the premiership, the condition of the government, | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
the condition of the opposition, the state of public opinion, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
the next thing that's going to happen, | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
the amount that's at stake - | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
and more is at stake at this time in our politics, easily, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-than at any time since World War II. -Because of Brexit? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Because of Brexit - also, something that's going on around the world, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
of which Brexit may conceivably be a part - | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
but, in this country, we haven't seen anything like this, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
and we really don't know where we are going. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Right, John. You've got eight points. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Plenty of time to catch up and overtake the field, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
because you have two minutes of general knowledge, starting now. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
In Doctor Who, which of the Doctor's adversaries | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |

-Stethoscope. -Yeah. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
In Tennyson's poem In Memoriam AHH, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |

at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2017. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-Pass. -Martina Hingis. BEEP | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
The Singapura is the smallest recognised overall breed | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
of which domestic animal? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
A cat. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-What? -Cat? -Cat! Is right, yeah, yeah. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Look confident, John, as if you knew it all along. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Cat is absolutely right. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Your passes - Martina Hingis was the tennis player who did so well, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
and that mild, crumbly cheese is Cheshire. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
You have scored, however, John, a total of 21 points. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
And now Martin again, please. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
Before you even sit down, I have to ask you about that wonderful jacket. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Or tunic - what do you call it? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-It's a sherwani. -Oh! -It's a sherwani. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
I got married in it. It's a traditional Indian dress. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-It's beautiful. -It's rather nice, isn't it? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
I thought I'd give it outing - special occasion, special coat. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
Right, let's talk about nature, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
and the contrast between your programme and, say, Blue Planet. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
We always call our programme a show, rather than a documentary, | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
so we try to be entertaining as well, and it's very different, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
because, of course, it's live - | 0:15:40 | 0:15:41 | |
there's no script, there's no autocue, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
we can pretty much say what we want - and Chris often does. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
LAUGHTER Yes. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
I should say, of course, it is called Springwatch, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
and you also have all the other seasons...watching. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
Which season is best to watch, from your point of view? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
It's got to be Springwatch, because it's taken ten years | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
to get this good at putting cameras on the little birds' nests. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
There's real drama in those nests. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Martin, 21 is now the score to beat, | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
let's see how you will do in your general knowledge. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Here we go. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |

for medicinal and recreational purposes? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Pass. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |

Er... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
Pass. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |

BEEP I can tell you - | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
look, I'll save you from yourself, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
because you're out of time. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
-Once you start that passing, it can... -It does, doesn't it? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-It's horrendous. -It is strange, how it happens like that. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-Anyway, Ken Clarke. -Ken Clarke, of course it was. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |

So, there you go. You could have got all of those, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
and had it not been for the black chair, etc, you probably would have. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-As it is, Martin, you have a total of 15 points. -Thank you. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
Now, Vogue, again, please. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
You chose Kim Kardashian as your subject. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
I do realise how ridiculous that seems. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Well, you sort of almost answered my first question, in a way, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
because my first question was going to be, what is it about her... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
-I just think... -..that we're all so fascinated by? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
..she's just incredible. She... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
People might call her talentless, or whatever, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
but she has a talent for business. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
She is able to keep people interested in a reality show | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
going on a decade now, and everyone loves that kind of thing. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
And doing nothing, really. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-I just think that they're quite a normal family. I mean... -Normal?! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
Well, like... Normal in a way... | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
The way they interact with each other, everything like that - | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
nothing, obviously, about their life is normal, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
but the way the act with each other | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
would remind me of, like, me and my sisters. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Even her bum is interesting, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
I mean, it's like, "How is your bum like that?!" | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Why is...? Like, I'm fascinated by everything about her. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Well, you did very well with her, you got ten, you got ten points. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
So 21 still the score to beat. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-Let's see how we do. -Ooh! -Here we go. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |

What's the balance between making them laugh and helping them learn? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
It was very tricky initially, when the show was being developed, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
finding that balance, cos it's very easy to make a punch line - | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
normally, the punch line of a joke is the ridiculous thing at the end, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
but, if we make something up, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
then kids grow up knowing the wrong facts, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
so we had to find a brand of humour | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
that was very funny, hopefully, for a family audience, | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
but which didn't lie at the end. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
And teachers like it, do they? | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
There are a few who kind of go, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
"Well, you're just teaching kids about the stuff with poo," | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
and you go, "Well, yeah," but if we give them the silly bits, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
and we give them the bits with all the gore in, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
and then, if that develops an interest in the subject, | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
they read around, and find the broader context. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
And great fun, the stories. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Anyway, you have 12 points. Here we go, two minutes. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
