10:25Ashley, at the end of that round, you had no passes. You've got eight points.
10:28And at the end of the specialist subjects round, let's have a look at the scores.
10:41In joint third place with seven points each, Ewan and Sophie.
10:45In second place with eight points, it's Ashley.
10:47And in first place with ten points, it's Mobeen.
10:50So now, it's general knowledge.
10:51And if there's a tie at the end, then the number of passes is taken into account, and the person with the fewer passes is the winner.
10:57And if they're tied on passes as well, it's a tie-break.
11:00So let's ask Ewan to join us again, please.
11:10Ewan, former 400-metre sprinter.
11:12It all started, of course, at getting that silver medal with the 4x400-metre relay in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
11:20I mean, that was a golden moment for the sport.
11:23That whole period, wasn't it, really?
11:25Roger Black, you, Michael Johnson, of course.
11:27Yeah, his famous gold shoes.
11:29I saw the back of those in the final with the 400.
11:31Just to make that Atlanta team, for example, I think the first five athletes in the British 400-metre trials all run under 45 seconds, which was better than the US team.
11:39So, you know, I was really lucky to be around.
11:41And I will add, by the way, sitting in this chair is more nerve-wracking than running in front of 110,000 people in the Olympic final.
11:48Do you still run now?
11:49Do you do any park runs or anything?
11:51I kind of did.
11:52And then I thought, I'm going to stop now because people try and take me on traffic lights.
11:56Wherever I am, people try and waste me.
11:58Oh, yeah, it's just like, yeah.
11:59And the worst thing is when I do things like the London Marathon, which I'm never going to be good at long distance, the amount of people who tap me on the back as they go past,
12:06I say, come on, mate, you're an Olympic medalist.
12:08You should be at the front.
12:09I used to run for 44 seconds, not a marathon.
12:12But, yeah, I'll always try.
12:13Not two hours plus.
12:14Yeah, my job was easy.
12:15I started there.
12:16I ran around.
12:16I finished there.
12:17I got my drink and went home.
12:18So, yeah, I feel very fortunate that I made a living out of something I truly love doing.
12:22I would have run for nothing.
12:24It was an honor to represent this country.
12:26And, you know, I tried to do it with pride.
12:28OK, well, you start with seven points.
12:30You've got two minutes on general knowledge.

15:09Next up, it's Sophie.

15:23And in many ways, a groundbreaking character for that role.
15:27Yes, I'm very proud to have played her.
15:29She was a very realistic character and very tough as well and emotional.
15:35And you had a distinctive style as well.
15:37I mean, you wore a pretty classic bomber jacket while you were acting as Ace and that's something that is totally identified with that role now.
15:45I'm very proud of that because it was my idea.
15:48It was a black flight jacket covered in patches and badges and safety pins and it was a kind of a real statement.
15:57Did she have any iconic moments?
15:59What people probably remember me for and will maybe go on my gravestone is she beat up a Dalek with a baseball bat.
16:06You actually replaced her role in 2022.
16:10You're sort of part of the folklore of the programme now, aren't you?
16:14It was so brilliant to be invited back and I beat up another Dalek with a baseball bat, so...

19:27Ashley, people will recognise you as the regular social commentator on This Morning.
19:33Tell us about your role on the show.
19:34I would like to say my role is fighting for social injustice.
19:39I love it.
19:40I think, you know, we try to discuss the things that people at home are talking about and it's really important that we have differing opinions that we can show that you can have healthy debate.
19:50Are there any particular topics then that you're focused on, that you're passionate about?
19:55I'd say my biggest passion is equality, so whether that's, well, equality in all forms, but my lived experience as a woman would be feminism.
20:03I mean, your special subject was Lady Constance Lytton, a suffragette. Why did you choose her in particular?
20:10I think she was a bit of a badass, if I'm allowed to say that. Kind of an unsung hero of the movement.
20:15And I think so often we hear people died for our right to vote, get thrown around, but we don't necessarily hear the individual stories.
20:22Right. So, what's next?
20:23Hopefully. Do well on this. That's about the only thing that I can think of right now.
