00:00Hello, hello, hello, this is Sorry I Didn't Know, and I'm your host, Chizia Yakadulu.
00:26If you're wondering what happened to Jimmy, he's locked in my basement.
00:30No, he's filming another series of Bel Air in LA.
00:32That means I'll be your splendid space captain, I'll be flying you through forgotten galaxies
00:37to marvel at our sparkling stars of the past and orbit the brilliance of our brethren
00:42who shine brighter than the sun.
00:44This is history with a touch of colour.
00:50And with me in the host seat this series, let's meet our new team leader.
00:55He's someone with wit, good looks, and did I mention he's good looking?
00:57Please give it up for the ever-funny, ageing like fine wine, Mr Richard Blackwood!
01:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:05So, who's on your team tonight, Richard?
01:09To my left is a writer, comedy actress who kept us entertained in shows like
01:15Chewing Gum, Enola Holmes and so much more, right?
01:18And I just want to say, we did a show together, right?
01:21We did Sunday brunch where they made us eat food that tastes like foot.
01:26LAUGHTER
01:27Make some noise for Susan.
01:30Welcome up!
01:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:32And to my right is a British Sri Lankan comedian,
01:38and if you haven't seen him on stage, go and see him.
01:42He's hilarious.
01:42Dinesh Nathan, ladies and gentlemen.
01:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:45Lovely to have you both.
01:49And when it comes to wine, he's the bottle you're excited to open,
01:53only to find out it's from the corner shop.
01:55It's Eddie Cuddy!
01:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:58Who's helping you out tonight?
02:02Oh, well, to my right is a Mancunian comedian who's so lively.
02:07He once got fired from a job where he was paid to lick envelopes.
02:10And he's also the best-dressed person in this entire building.
02:13It's the one and only Mr...
02:15Calm down.
02:16It's Stephen Bailey.
02:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:18That was so nice.
02:21Come on.
02:22Now, to my left, I'm joined by my sister.
02:25This is a comedian and actor whose life as a pharmacist
02:28has just been made into a comedy pilot and look at her well.
02:31It's the one and only Ola Lavee.
02:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:34Welcome to both of you.
02:38So, Stephen, you have just kicked off a UK tour.
02:41It's called Tart.
02:43Yes.
02:43What's that about?
02:45I can't really say.
02:46But what it is about is...
02:48So I've just bought a house on the estate I grew up on
02:50and now I'm doing up the house.
02:52Have you had the builders in lately, anyone?
02:54No.
02:54Can't afford it.
02:55They don't have a sense of humour because my plumber said to me,
02:58he said, do you know where your stopcock is?
03:00And so I went, how did you know my safe word?
03:03And he didn't laugh.
03:04He didn't even blink.
03:07Ola, you have a new podcast called Halal-ish.
03:11What do you guys talk about?
03:12So this podcast is two other comedians and myself.
03:15So Shazia Mirza, the amazing Shazia Mirza.
03:17Love her.
03:17Yes.
03:18Shazia, shout out.
03:20And Zane Comedy.
03:22So we get together and we discuss things
03:24that Muslim women have never discussed publicly.
03:29Ooh.
03:29Ooh.
03:29That sounds good.
03:30Ooh.
03:31Like?
03:31Are you allowed?
03:32Hmm.
03:33Well.
03:34Well, it's Halal-ish.
03:35It's Halal-ish.
03:36It's Halal-ish, yeah.
03:37Also, you have to subscribe to find out.
03:39Exactly.
03:40Just so you know.
03:41Susan.
03:41Hiya.
03:42You've been in the industry for over 20 years as an actor
03:45and you've just written and directed your own film.
03:47Yeah.
03:47How was that?
03:48Oh, hard work, innit?
03:49It's a lot of hat, innit?
03:50Why'd I do that?
03:51No, I always knew that I was going to go into directing,
03:54but there was just a point where I was just like,
03:56I really want to tell the stories that I'm not seeing
03:58and I've acquired, like, all these wonderful friends
04:01and interesting people who want to come together
04:04and make really good film and TV.
04:06Good on you.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Dinesh, you're also new to the show.
04:10How have the team made you feel at home?
04:11Oh, I feel so welcome.
04:13Like, I mean, you know, part of the reason was probably
04:15because everyone thought I was black.
04:17I didn't want to correct him because I didn't want to lose
04:20the booking.
04:23But everyone thinks I'm black, like, even my own lot
04:25think I'm black.
04:26Like, this is how I found out I got turned away from this party
04:28and they were like, it's an Asian party.
04:31I was like, I know.
04:33Do you really think people are trying to gatecrash D-Lips 50?
04:38And then I got into this party and I started talking to this
04:40woman and she was like, you're black, you're definitely black.
04:43And I was like, I'm not.
04:44And she was like, no, no, you're definitely black.
04:45And I was like, I'm not black.
04:47So I thought, well, what do I do?
04:48So I grabbed my dad and I was like, dad, this lady thinks I'm
04:51black.
04:52And my dad saw an opportunity to be a dick.
04:56And he went, 40 years we've been dreading this day.
05:04Give it up for tonight's amazing guest.
05:06This first round is called Guess My Game.
05:14I'm going to display a photo of an inspirational icon and the teams
05:18need to guess what they did to earn their place among the greats.
05:22OK, feet on buzzers.
05:23OK.
05:24Can you tell me who this serious looking gentleman is?
05:29Yes, Dinesh.
05:30I think that is the rejected Captain Birdseye.
05:35Eddie.
05:36This is so special for me to deliver this.
05:38That is actually Dinesh's dad.
05:43Not quite.
05:45Stephen.
05:46Is it a flyer for one of those, you know, those professional photo shoots?
05:50Oh, my gosh.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah, those ones.
05:52It looks like that, but it's not.
05:54Dinesh.
05:55Will someone tell me if it's my dad or not?
05:58I'm going to give no points to anyone because that was terrible.
06:02This is Willard White, an internationally renowned bass baritone singer
06:06whose operatic skills saw him recognised with a knighthood
06:10and a painting in the National Portrait Gallery.
06:12Ooh.
06:13Right.
06:14Do you recognise this woman?
06:17She is somebody's mother saying, you see you?
06:20You see you?
06:21Yeah.
06:22Don't let me tell you twice.
06:24I think she's the original super nanny.
06:28She's the first nanny to discipline kids without getting out of her seat.
06:32Do you know what I mean?
06:33I wish that were true.
06:34I think she's the woman who was on that Channel 4 show where she was like,
06:38you're not in the UK, you're in...
06:40No.
06:43Yes, that's her.
06:44Stephen.
06:45Now, I'm digging deep here.
06:47She's got a wristband on, on her hand.
06:49Oh, OK.
06:49So I think she's someone, an all-inclusive, and the buffet ran out
06:53and she's fuming.
06:56And she's saying, you see you?
07:00And she's saying, you're not in New York and you're in Barbade.
07:04Same person.
07:05Same person.
07:06Eddie.
07:06This is Dinesh's auntie saying, whether you like it or not,
07:09this is your father.
07:10This is your father.
07:15OK, I'm going to give you the answer.
07:17This is Fannie Lou Hamer, co-founder of the Freedom Democratic Party
07:23and one of the reasons that black Americans can vote today.
07:26She helped African Americans vote while the US government tried to block it.
07:30And since I have a green card, I'm saying nothing about America.
07:32Who is this gentleman?
07:37Hola.
07:38Was he the first person to be like, no, you hang up, no, you hang up?
07:45Dinesh.
07:46I think this is a guy who is married and his wife's got very strict rules
07:51and she was like, listen, no shoes on the furniture,
07:54don't be smoking in the house, don't put newspapers on the floors,
07:58and she's gone out and he's gone, watch me!
07:59Susie.
08:02James Baldwin.
08:04James Baldwin, of course.
08:06I knew it.
08:09Writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin,
08:12seen here in his New York apartment in 1963.
08:15James is best known for his plays and essays,
08:17exploring themes of race and identity.
08:19And at the end of that round, the winners are...
08:22Richard's team!
08:22Black culture has inspired the world for centuries
08:31and not surprisingly, long before there was cultural appropriation,
08:35there was musical appropriation.
08:36Which brings us nicely to our next round.
08:39This is Bleached Beats.
08:40One good thing about you is that when it beats you.
08:44In this round, our teams will hear several well-known tunes
08:49and all they have to do is guess the song and the artist behind it.
08:52Richard's team, can you name this tune and the artist?
08:56Sound guy, drop the beat.
09:03Sainted love.
09:05Yeah, yeah.
09:06Run away.
09:07Sainted love.
09:08Sainted love.
09:10Get away.
09:12You've got to understand, back in the 80s,
09:15that's how No Despair, why people used to sing like that.
09:18Got to...
09:19Do you know what?
09:19Go away, I've got to...
09:22Is it really bad that I absolutely love that tune?
09:24No.
09:25No.
09:25Oh, OK.
09:25That's a good song.
09:26We love that tune.
09:27So, team captain, who is this, please?
09:29Ross.
09:31Sainted love.
09:32Sainted love by...
09:34Who is it?
09:35I'm going to give you a point.
09:36OK, fine.
09:36The song is Tainted Love,
09:39which was a huge hit for Soft Self in 1981.
09:43For three bonus points,
09:45can you tell me who originally recorded the song?
09:49OK, it was Somebody Black, I'll tell you that.
09:52That's a great guess.
09:53Now, this is before my time, I was 172.
09:55I have a feeling this was before...
09:57172?
09:58And I look younger than you.
09:59Wow.
10:00Richard, I recommended the person that dyed your hair.
10:03You need to come.
10:06This is what things do, this is what things do.
10:09That's a last fave I'm doing to.
10:10I didn't know that it was a cover,
10:12so I've got no...
10:13I've literally got no idea.
10:14OK, I'm going to pass it over to the other team
10:16for one point, but you do get a bit of a clue.
10:19Oh, come on.
10:19Which of these icons of music
10:21first recorded Tainted Love
10:23on the B-side of one of their albums?
10:25Ooh.
10:27I want to say Diana Ross.
10:29I could be wrong, but that's my first...
10:30Yeah, it feels like Diana Ross, right?
10:32But then is that too obvious, you guys?
10:35Yeah.
10:36What are you thinking?
10:37Well, I just...
10:38Etta James is looking at me in a way
10:40that says, I did this, bitch.
10:44You better recognise.
10:47I'm afraid I'm going to have to push you for an answer.
10:50Well, as the captain of this constituency...
10:52LAUGHTER
10:53..in collaboration with my team-mate here.
10:59I'm going to lean towards my man-queenian...
11:01No, don't.
11:02I'm scared.
11:04Etta James.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:06It is incorrect.
11:08Oh, was it Diana Ross?
11:09So sorry.
11:10LAUGHTER
11:11The answer, guys, is the Queen of Northern Soul,
11:15Gloria Jones.
11:16Oh!
11:17The song failed to char on release in 1964,
11:21but it took off on the underground soul scene.
11:23Let's have a listen to how similar the original was.
11:29Sometimes I feel I've got to
11:32Run away, I've got to
11:35Yeah, right?
11:36Right, Eddie's team, can you name this tune an artist?
11:39MUSIC PLAYS
11:42Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
11:46Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
11:52Do you know, this is the song they played in Home Alone 1
11:55when Kevin was doing all the cleaning up?
11:57Oh!
11:58Is that right?
11:59Just to remind you, guys, we are looking for the song
12:00and the artist and not what film they've been in.
12:02Oh, the song and...
12:03OK, so...
12:04And just to check with you, what does your card say?
12:07It says the correct answer.
12:09Yeah.
12:09This is...
12:10way before my time, Stephen.
12:13So then it's even longer before mine.
12:15Oh!
12:18If I had to guess, right, we're hearing pots and pans.
12:21I mean, it makes sense that it would be called pots and pans.
12:24Why are you saying it so much?
12:25You can't put pots and pans in a song
12:27and not put it as a title.
12:28That doesn't make any sense.
12:29So, Eddie's team.
12:31Yes.
12:31What's the answer?
12:32They think it's Eminem, pots and pans.
12:34Eddie's team and Eddie's team only.
12:36OK.
12:37Little Richard, pots and pans.
12:39Little Richard is black.
12:40That's incorrect.
12:42Richard's team.
12:43Shake, rattle and roll.
12:45Shake, rattle and roll.
12:45Rattle and roll.
12:46You got the point.
12:47It was Bill Haley and his comments with Shake,
12:49rattle and roll, which they recorded in 1954.
12:53But for three bonus points, who's the original by?
12:56You got it.
12:56Damn it, man.
12:57I want to say the Isley Brothers.
13:00Incorrect.
13:01Damn it.
13:01Eddie's team, you get a clue.
13:03Which of these three is the original recording artist
13:06for Shake, Rattle and Roll?
13:08Oh, diddly looks like he's dressed for that song.
13:10Yes.
13:12I like the sound of his name, diddly diddly.
13:14You like the sound of his name,
13:16so you think he'll sing that song?
13:17Yeah.
13:19He looks like he'd do the dance moves that you'd have for it.
13:23So, who are we going for, guys?
13:25I was in a...
13:26I've been advised by my constituency.
13:28Oh, no.
13:31For Bo Diddly.
13:32Incorrect.
13:33Richard's team?
13:34Big Joe Turner.
13:34Absolutely.
13:35Correct.
13:35Oh.
13:37The original Shake, Rattle and Roller was Big Joe Turner.
13:41However, in the same week that Big Joe released the song,
13:44Bill Haley and the Comets decided they really knew how to shake,
13:47rattle and roll and re-recorded it.
13:49Here's what Joe Turner's version sounded like.
13:52It's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:55Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:58Shake, Rattle and Roll.
14:02Shake, Rattle and Roll.
14:04They won't do right to save your dog, dog, soul.
14:09Yeah, blow the line.
14:11And the winner of that round is Richard's team.
14:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
14:15It's time to pause these comedy antics and take a break for the ads,
14:23because we've got to get paid somehow.
14:25While you wait for us to return,
14:27can you unscramble these words to reveal the charm linked to black womanhood?
14:31See you after the break.
14:32APPLAUSE
14:33Welcome back to Sorry I Didn't Know.
14:46Before the break, I gave you this scrambled word.
14:49The answer is black girl magic.
14:52A term that celebrates the beauty, strength and resilience of black women and girls,
14:57countering negative stereotypes and uplifting us all.
15:00Right, it's time for Who Am I?
15:03The Gavin and Shabbat.
15:05Eddie and Richard will try to identify a well-known person on our screens
15:09by asking their teammates a series of questions that can only be answered with a yes or a no.
15:14Fellas, take your places.
15:16APPLAUSE
15:18Right, Eddie, your team is up first.
15:31Who is this?
15:32My constituency.
15:34Is it a woman?
15:36Yes.
15:36Yes.
15:37Is she an athlete?
15:39No.
15:40Richard?
15:41My people, them.
15:42Mmm.
15:43This woman, who's not an athlete, is she an entertainer?
15:47Yes.
15:48A-wah.
15:50This woman, who is an entertainer, is she in...
15:54..acting?
15:57Yes.
15:58A-wah.
16:01Is she in...
16:03..TV?
16:05Yes.
16:06A-wah.
16:06LAUGHTER
16:07This actress who's on TV, is she black?
16:14Ah!
16:15LAUGHTER
16:15Yes.
16:17See it there?
16:18LAUGHTER
16:19This black actress from TV, is she...
16:26Whoa.
16:28Is she...
16:29Is she...
16:29Old.
16:30Oh.
16:30LAUGHTER
16:31I was like, excuse me?
16:36I was like, is she a wall?
16:37No.
16:38Eddie's team.
16:39Is she a wall?
16:41LAUGHTER
16:41Education is important.
16:46Does she do other things apart from acting?
16:48Yes.
16:49Yes.
16:49There you go, OK, OK.
16:50Does she sing?
16:51Yes.
16:52Yes.
16:52Ha!
16:52LAUGHTER
16:53LAUGHTER
16:54Is she known for something she did a long time ago?
16:59No.
17:00Is she American?
17:02No.
17:03Oh.
17:04Eddie.
17:05Is she British?
17:07Yes.
17:07LAUGHTER
17:08LAUGHTER
17:09LAUGHTER
17:10Einstein.
17:13OK, guys, I'm going to reveal.
17:15It's Cynthia Erivo, the insanely talented singer, songwriter and actress
17:21who has won a Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award.
17:23And she's not even 40.
17:25But...
17:26LAUGHTER
17:27LAUGHTER
17:28Richard, who is this?
17:32All right.
17:33Is this a man?
17:36Yes.
17:37Is he in entertainment?
17:40Yeah.
17:41Go with it?
17:42Yeah.
17:42Yeah.
17:43This man who we're not too sure about...
17:45LAUGHTER
17:46LAUGHTER
17:47Is he more known for something outside of entertainment?
17:52Yes.
17:53OK, cool.
17:55So let's scrap entertainment.
17:57Is he...
17:58Black?
18:01Yes.
18:01Yes.
18:02LAUGHTER
18:03LAUGHTER
18:03I'm getting a mixed-race vibe.
18:06I didn't even...
18:07I didn't even go there.
18:08It could be Sri Lankan, we don't know.
18:10LAUGHTER
18:11Is he an activist?
18:16Yes.
18:17Yes.
18:18Oh.
18:18His activism, is it still happening now?
18:21Is he still very much pushing his agenda now?
18:24Yes.
18:25Yeah.
18:25OK.
18:26Damn it, man.
18:28This bus.
18:29LAUGHTER
18:30I'm going to pass it over.
18:34Can I pass it over?
18:35Yeah, if you want to.
18:36I want to pass it over.
18:36Eddie.
18:37I'm thinking of all the blackish people I know.
18:40LAUGHTER
18:40And it's hard-ish.
18:43LAUGHTER
18:43Is this person from London?
18:48Yes.
18:48Oh, say that too loud, yes.
18:50Well, that's great, because I don't know.
18:51LAUGHTER
18:52Yeah, I was thinking Akala, but...
18:55Is it Akala?
18:57Yeah!
18:57I was going to say it!
18:58This is Akala, rapper, writer, activist,
19:04and one of Powerlist's most influential black British people
