Transcript
00:00Hello, hello, hello, this is Sorry I Didn't Know, and I'm your host, Chizia Akadulu.
00:21If you're wondering what happened to Jimmy, he's locked in my basement.
00:25No, he's filming another series of Bel Air in LA.
00:27That means I'll be your splendid space captain, I'll be flying you through forgotten galaxies to marvel at our sparkling stars of the past and orbit the brilliance of our brethren, who shine brighter than the sun.
00:39This is history with a touch of colour.
00:45And with me in the host seat this series, let's meet our new team leader.
00:50He's someone with wit, good looks, and did I mention he's good looking?
00:52Please give it up for the ever-funny, ageing like fine wine, Mr. Richard Blackwood!
01:02So, who's on your team tonight, Richard?
01:05To my left is a writer, comedy actress, who kept us entertained in shows like Chewing Gum, Enola Holmes, and so much more, right?
01:13And I just want to say, we did a show together, right?
01:16We did Sunday brunch, where they made us eat food that tastes like foot.
01:23Make some noise for Susan, welcome up!
01:30And to my right is a British Sri Lankan comedian, and if you haven't seen him on stage, go and see him.
01:37He's hilarious.
01:38Dinesh Nathan, ladies and gentlemen.
01:43Lovely to have you both.
01:45And when it comes to wine, he's the bottle you're excited to open, only to find out it's from the corner shop.
01:50It's Nelly Cuddy!
01:56Who's helping you out tonight?
01:57Oh, well, to my right is a Mancunian comedian who's so lively.
02:01He once got fired from a job where he was paid to lick envelopes.
02:05And he's also the best dressed person in this entire building.
02:09It's the one and only, Mr. Calm Down, it's Stephen Bain.
02:13That was so nice!
02:16Come on.
02:17Now, to my left, I'm joined by my sister.
02:20This is a comedian and actor whose life as a pharmacist has just been made into a comedy pilot.
02:25And look at her well.
02:26It's the one and only, Ola Levine.
02:28Woo-hoo!
02:31Welcome to both of you.
02:34So, Stephen, you have just kicked off a UK tour.
02:37It's called Tart.
02:38Yes.
02:38What's that about?
02:40I can't really say.
02:42But what it is about is, so I've just bought a house on the estate I grew up on.
02:46And now I'm doing up the house.
02:47Have you had the builders in lately, anyone?
02:49No.
02:49Can't afford it.
02:50Chizzy, they don't have a sense of humour because my plumber said to me, he said,
02:54do you know where your stopcock is?
02:55And so I went, how did you know my safe word?
02:58And he didn't laugh.
02:59He didn't even blink.
03:01Ola, you have a new podcast called Halal-ish.
03:06What do you guys talk about?
03:07So this podcast is two other comedians and myself, so Shazia Mirza, the amazing Shazia Mirza.
03:12Love her.
03:12Yes.
03:13Shazia, shout out.
03:15And Zane Comedy.
03:17So we get together and we discuss things that Muslim women have never discussed publicly.
03:24Ooh.
03:24Ooh.
03:24Like.
03:25That sounds good.
03:26Ooh.
03:26Like.
03:26Are you allowed?
03:27Hmm.
03:28Wow.
03:29Well, it's halal-ish.
03:30It's halal-ish.
03:31It's halal-ish.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Also, you have to subscribe to find out.
03:34Exactly.
03:34Just so you know.
03:36Susan.
03:36Hiya.
03:37You've been in the industry for over 20 years as an actor and you've just written and directed
03:41your own film.
03:42Yeah.
03:42How was that?
03:43Oh, hard work, innit?
03:44It's a lot of hats, innit?
03:45Why did I do that?
03:46No.
03:47I always knew that I was going to go into directing.
03:49But there was just a point where I was just like, I really want to tell the stories that
03:52I'm not seeing.
03:53And I've acquired, like, all these wonderful friends and interesting people who want to
03:58come together and make really good film and TV.
04:01Good on you.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Dinesh, you're also new to the show.
04:05How have the team made you feel at home?
04:06Oh, I feel so welcome.
04:08Like, I mean, you know, part of the reason is probably because everyone thought I was black.
04:12And I didn't want to correct him because I didn't want to lose the booking.
04:15But everyone thinks I'm black.
04:19Like, even my own lot think I'm black.
04:21Like, this is how I found out I got turned away from this party.
04:24And they were like, it's an Asian party.
04:26I was like, I know.
04:28Do you really think people are trying to gatecrash Dilip's 50th?
04:33Anyway, then I got into this party and I started talking to this woman and she was like,
04:36you're black.
04:37You're definitely black.
04:38And I was like, I'm not.
04:39And she was like, no, no, you're definitely black.
04:40And I was like, I'm not black.
04:42So I thought, well, what do?
04:43So I grabbed my dad and I was like, dad,
04:45this lady thinks I'm black.
04:47And my dad saw an opportunity to be a dick.
04:51And he went, 40 years we've been dreading this day.
04:59Give it up for tonight's amazing guest.
05:01This first round is called Guess My Game.
05:09I'm going to display a photo of an inspirational icon and the teams need to guess what they did to earn their place among the greats.
05:17OK, feet on buzzers.
05:18OK.
05:19Can you tell me who this serious looking gentleman is?
05:24Yes, Dinesh.
05:25I think that is the rejected Captain Birdseye.
05:28Eddie, this is so special for me to deliver this.
05:33That is actually Dinesh's dad.
05:38Not quite.
05:40Stephen, is it a flyer for one of those, you know, those professional photo shoots?
05:44Oh, my gosh, yeah.
05:46Yeah, those ones, those are lovely.
05:47It looks like that, but it's not, don't you?
05:48Oh, no.
05:49Dinesh.
05:50Will someone tell me if it's my dad or not?
05:53I'm going to give no points to anyone because that was terrible.
05:56This is Willard White, an internationally renowned bass baritone singer whose operatic skills saw him recognised with a knighthood and a painting in the National Portrait Gallery.
06:08All right, do you recognise this woman?
06:12She is somebody's mother saying, you see you?
06:15You see you?
06:16Yeah.
06:17Don't make me tell you twice.
06:20Hola.
06:21I think she's the original super nanny.
06:23She's the first nanny to discipline kids without getting out of her seat.
06:27Do you know what I mean?
06:28I wish that was true.
06:29I think she's the woman who was on that Channel 4 show where she was like, you're not in the UK, you're in...
06:35Stephen.
06:40Now, I'm digging deep here.
06:42She's got a wristband on, on her hand.
06:44So I think she's someone, an all-inclusive and the buffet ran out and she's fuming.
06:49And she's saying, you see you?
06:55And she's saying, you're not in the UK, you're in barbed.
06:58It's the same person.
07:01Eddie, this is Dinesh's auntie saying, whether you like it or not, this is your father.
07:05OK, I'm going to give you the answer.
07:12This is Fannie Lou Hamer, co-founder of the Freedom Democratic Party and one of the reasons that black Americans can vote today.
07:21She helped African Americans vote while the US government tried to block it.
07:25And since I have a green card, I'm saying nothing about America.
07:29Who is this gentleman?
07:30Was he the first person to be like, no, you hang up, no, you hang up.
07:41Dinesh.
07:41I think this is a guy who is married and his wife's got very strict rules and she was like, listen, no shoes on the furniture, don't be smoking in the house, don't put newspapers on the floors.
07:53And she's gone out and he's gone, watch me.
07:54Susie.
07:58James Baldwin.
07:59James Baldwin, of course.
08:01I knew that.
08:04Writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin, seen here in his New York apartment in 1963.
08:10James is best known for his plays and essays, exploring themes of race and identity.
08:14And at the end of that round, the winners are Richard's team.
08:18Black culture has inspired the world for centuries and not surprisingly, long before there was cultural appropriation, there was musical appropriation.
08:31Which brings us nicely to our next round.
08:34This is Bleached Beats.
08:35What's the thing about you is that you're plenty to do.
08:40In this round, our teams will hear several well-known tunes and all they have to do is guess the song and the artist behind it.
08:47Richard's team, can you name this tune and the artist?
08:51Sound guy, drop the beat.
08:52Sound guy, drop the beat.
09:22Team captain, who is this, please?
09:24Ross, um...
09:25Tainted Love.
09:27Tainted Love by...
09:29Who is it?
09:30I'm going to give you a point.
09:31OK, fine. The song is Tainted Love,
09:34which was a huge hit for Soft Self in 1981.
09:38For three bonus points, can you tell me who originally
09:42recorded the song?
09:44OK, it was Somebody Black, I'll tell you that.
09:47That's a great guess.
09:48Now, this is before my tires, 172.
09:51I have a feeling this was before...
09:5217?
09:53..and I look younger than you.
09:55Wow.
09:56Richard, I recommended the person that dyed your hair.
09:58You need to come...
10:02This is your face, please. This is your face, please.
10:04That's a lot of fav on D&T.
10:06I didn't know that it was a cover, so I've literally got no idea.
10:09OK, I'm going to pass it over to the other team for one point,
10:12but you do get a bit of a clue.
10:14Oh, come on.
10:15Which of these icons of music first recorded Tainted Love
10:18on the B-side of one of their albums?
10:20Ooh.
10:21Ooh.
10:22I want to say Diana Rossi.
10:24I could be wrong, but that's my first...
10:25Yeah, it feels like Diana Rossi, doesn't it?
10:28But then is that too obvious, you guys?
10:30Yeah.
10:31So then...
10:32What are you thinking?
10:33Etta James is looking at me in a way that says, I did this, bitch.
10:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:37No, no, no, no, no.
10:38LAUGHTER
10:39That's fair.
10:40You better recognise.
10:41Yeah, yeah.
10:42Yeah, yeah.
10:43I'm afraid I'm going to have to push you for an answer.
10:45Well, as the captain of this constituency...
10:47LAUGHTER
10:49..in collaboration with my team-mate here.
10:54I'm going to lean towards my man-queenian...
10:56No, don't.
10:57I'm scared.
10:58Etta James!
11:00Oh, my God!
11:01..is incorrect.
11:03Oh, was it Diana Rossi?
11:04I'm so sorry.
11:05LAUGHTER
11:07The answer, guys, is the Queen of Northern Soul, Gloria Jones.
11:11Oh!
11:12The song failed to char on release in 1964,
11:16but it took off on the underground soul scene.
11:18Let's have a listen to how similar the original was.
11:21MUSIC PLAYS
11:23Sometimes I feel I've got to
11:27Run away, I've got to
11:30Yeah, right.
11:31Right, Eddie's team, can you name this tune an artist?
11:34MUSIC PLAYS
11:38Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
11:41Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
11:47Do you know, this is the song they played in Home Alone 1
11:50when Kevin was doing all the cleaning up?
11:52Oh! Oh! Is that right?
11:54Just to remind you, guys, we are looking for the song and the artist
11:56and not what film they've been in.
11:57Oh, the song? OK, so...
11:59And just to check with you, what does your card say?
12:01LAUGHTER
12:02It says the correct answer.
12:03Yeah.
12:04This is...
12:06way before my time, Steven.
12:08So then it's even longer before mine.
12:10Oh!
12:11LAUGHTER
12:13If I had to guess, right, we're hearing pots and pans.
12:16I mean, it makes sense that it would be called pots and pans.
12:18Because you can't...
12:19Why are you saying it so much?
12:20Put pots and pans in a song and not put it as a title.
12:24That doesn't make any sense.
12:25So, Eddie's team.
12:26Yes.
12:27What's the answer?
12:28They think it's Eminem, pots and pans.
12:29Eddie's team and Eddie's team only.
12:31OK.
12:32Little Richard, pots and pans.
12:34Little Richard is black.
12:36That's incorrect.
12:37Richard's team!
12:38It's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
12:39Shake, Rattle and Roll!
12:40Rattle and Roll!
12:41You got the point.
12:42It was Bill Haley and his comments with Shake, Rattle and Roll,
12:45which they recorded in 1954.
12:48But for three bonus points, who's the original by?
12:51You got it.
12:52Damn it, man.
12:53I was going to say the Isley Brothers.
12:55Incorrect.
12:56Damn it.
12:56Eddie's team, you get a clue.
12:58Which of these three is the original recording artist
13:01for Shake, Rattle and Roll?
13:03Oh, Diddley looks like he's dressed for that song.
13:05Yeah.
13:07I like the sound of his name, Diddley Diddley.
13:09You like the sound of his name, so you think he'll sing that song?
13:12Yeah.
13:14He looks like he'd do the dance moves that you'd have for it.
13:17You know, pots and pans.
13:19So, who are we going for, guys?
13:21I've been advised by my constituency for Bo Diddley.
13:27Incorrect.
13:28Richard's team?
13:29Big Joe Turner.
13:29Absolutely.
13:30Correct.
13:30Oh.
13:32The original Shake, Rattle and Roller was Big Joe Turner.
13:36However, in the same week that Big Joe released the song,
13:39Bill Haley and the comments decided they really knew how
13:42to Shake, Rattle and Roll and re-recorded it.
13:45Here's what Joe Turner's version sounded like.
13:47It's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:51Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:53Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:56Shake, Rattle and Roll.
13:59They won't do right to save your dog, dog soul.
14:04Yeah, blow down.
14:06And the winner of that round is Richard's team.
14:14It's time to pause these comedy antics and take a break for the ads,
14:18because we've got to get paid somehow.
14:20While you wait for us to return, can you unscramble these words
14:23to reveal the term linked to black womanhood?
14:26See you after the break.
14:28Welcome back to Sorry I Didn't Know.
14:41Before the break, I gave you this scrambled word.
14:44The answer is black girl magic.
14:47A term that celebrates the beauty, strength and resilience
14:50of black women and girls, countering negative stereotypes
14:53and uplifting us all.
14:55Right, it's time for Who Am I?
14:58The Gal Gadot Show.
14:59Eddie and Richard will try to identify a well-known person
15:03on our screens by asking their teammates a series of questions
15:06that can only be answered with a yes or a no.
15:10Fellas, take your places.
15:11APPLAUSE
15:13Right, Eddie, your team is up first.
15:25Who is this?
15:27My constituency.
15:29Is it a woman?
15:31Yes.
15:32Is she an athlete?
15:35No. Richard?
15:36My people, them.
15:38Mmm.
15:38This woman who's not an athlete, is she an entertainer?
15:42Yes.
15:43This woman who is an entertainer, is she in acting?
15:52Yes.
15:53A wha.
15:54Is she in TV?
16:00Yes.
16:01A wha.
16:02This actress who's on TV, is she black?
16:09Ah.
16:11Yes.
16:12You see it there?
16:13Yes.
16:14Yes.
16:15This black actress from TV, is she wool?
16:21Is she wool?
16:23Is she wool?
16:24Is she...
16:25Old.
16:26Oh.

17:10It's Cynthia Erivo, the insanely talented singer, songwriter and actress
17:15who has won a Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award, and she's not even 40.
17:20But...
17:21LAUGHTER
17:23Oh...

17:25Who is this?
17:26All right.
17:27Is this a man?
17:30Yes.

17:36Yeah.
17:37Yeah.
17:38This man who we're not too sure about...
17:40LAUGHTER

17:47Yes.
17:48OK, cool.
17:49So let's scrap entertainment.
17:51Is he...
17:53Black?
17:55Yes.
17:56Yes.
17:57LAUGHTER
17:59I'm getting a mixed-race vibe.
18:01I didn't prefer that.
18:03He could be Sri Lankan, we don't know.
18:05LAUGHTER
18:09Is he an activist?
18:11Yes.
18:12Yes.
18:13Oh.
18:14His activism, is it still happening now?
18:15Is he still very much pushing his agenda now?
18:18Yes.

18:29Yeah, if you want to.
18:30I want to pass it over.
18:31Eddie.
18:32I'm thinking of all the blackish people I know.
18:34LAUGHTER
18:35And it's hard-ish.
18:37LAUGHTER

18:53I'm going to say Akala.
18:54I'm going to say Akala.
18:55What do you want?
18:56This is Akala.
18:57Rapper, writer, activist and one of Powerlist's most influential black British people of 2021.
19:02I will.
19:04Eddie.
19:05Can you tell me who this is?
19:07Here we go.
19:08Is this person a man?
19:11Yes.
19:12Of confidence.

22:26freedom or slavery.
22:28I have made my choice.
22:31You don't need the mic to speak your truth.
22:34You don't need a stage to take a stand.
22:36You just need to show up and speak up.
22:38And if they say you're too much, well, that just means you're one step closer to freedom.
22:44Good night.
22:45Great.
