21 分钟hi everyone welcome to a very special mini little episode of no such thing as a fish now
if you remember last week we said we were about to do a 20 hour podcast with 35 incredible guests and guess what we did it thank you so much to those people who joined us the crazy people who stayed up for the whole 20 hours I don't know what you think you were doing but anyone who came to any of those sections and especially anyone who donated thank you so so much so far we have made over a hundred and fifty thousand pounds for comic relief some of the best causes around the world but we want to do better and the way that we can do that is by you guys catching up with all 35 sections
because we are putting them on YouTube this episode that you're about to hear is a little taster of our conversation with Richard Osman the host of pointless house of games best-selling author really help you enjoy it
if you want to hear the full thing you can hear
that on our YouTube page where over the next two weeks we will be putting up all of the sections maybe three a day something like that and that will be chats with people like Michael Palin with people like Steven Frye,
Sandy Toxvig, Shappie Kors Sandy,
Carrie Mulligan who you might have heard has just been nominated for a little bit of an Oscar this week,
Richard Curtis there was an amazing bit where Tim Minchin did a song for us honestly each one of those sections is so much fun in its own way and the way that you can watch any one of those will be to go to qi.com slash comic relief
if you're thinking well I don't want to listen to those incredibly talented and funny people I just want to give money to comic relief well you can do
that as well and to do that you go to comicrelief.com slash fish that will take you to our just giving page and honestly
if you can spare as little as five pounds it will make such a massive difference to people all around the world especially in a year when charities have really really been struggling due to coronavirus anyway I really hope you enjoy this little chat with Richard and I suppose on with the podcast welcome back everyone it is time to move on to our next guest and boy do we have an exciting one we have someone who is I guess the biggest quizzing personality on TV you'll know him from House of Games you'll know him from Pointless but just as a sort of side project he's also become the best-selling fictional author to have a debut book out in the history of books that's his kind of side plate of things that he does you'll know it as the Thursday murder club we're so excited to have him here for fact number eight it is Mr Richard Ellsman how are you we are good how is it going so far great really we've raised 45,000 pounds
since since going which is very exciting we had a target of 35,000 so we've exceeded
that and yeah
if all your all your fans watching now can contribute as well we would be hugely grateful to be on 45,150 well let's get into it we understand you brought a fact so it's time for fact number eight and that is Richard Ellsman I have brought a fact that it's it's who wants to be a millionaire related for reasons we will get on to but my fact is the man who wrote the theme tune to who wants to be a millionaire also wrote Mistletoe and Wine a gentleman called Keith Strachan he's been around for years and years he's a musician musical director all sorts of things like that wrote Mistletoe and Wine for a musical fun enough Cliff took hold of it so he won a live in a ballet for it but for years also wrote theme music for Celador so we do lots of ill remembered shows like talking telephone numbers and then you know one day gets the call saying
that we're doing this pilot in a couple of days time
since they called who wants to be a millionaire we're not happy with the song we've got which was written by Pete Waterman stock eighth in the water and so we're not happy with it is there anything you can do he sat down with his son put something together lots of sort of screams and stuff like that couple of days later the pilot goes out that song is probably made in tens of millions or theme tune in the history of television did they use the same theme tune around the world yeah oh really millionaire and weakest link one of those shows that was always done as a kit apart i.e.
if you buy you buy the look you buy the set you buy the graphics you buy the music which isn't always the case so yeah every time it's played in America every time it's placed in on Keith Stratton is that song like the millionaire theme it's not melod not that melodic is it well that's the thing you couldn't whistle it right no exactly it's
like i've heard
that you are meant to be able to sing along to it and i can just about get the who wants to be wants to be a millionaire and i don't know
if i'm singing the right bit to the right i don't think you are with me but what i think is you've just made Keith Stratton seven and a half pence that part of it is based on the musical song who wants to be a millionaire isn't it i think that's the other part that he is saying
