0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,

0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show were a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:29 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34They've won some of

0:00:34 > 0:00:38the country's toughest quiz shows. They are, of course, the Eggheads.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42And trying to tackle our awesome quiz titans today

0:00:42 > 0:00:44are Don't Touch That Dial.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47It will be a battle between a fivesome featuring someone familiar

0:00:47 > 0:00:52to millions for their love of strutting around in leather - but enough about Barry -

0:00:52 > 0:00:59going head to head against the cream of quizzing from the hallowed corridors of BBC Radio Two.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Let's meet them.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01I'm Paul Gambaccini.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05I present America's Greatest Hits, Saturday evenings on Radio Two.

0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Suzi Quatro. I do Wake Up Little Suzi, BBC Radio Two, Thursday nights.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Richard Allinson and I'm on Radio Two every weekend.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm Clare Teal. I present Big Band Special on Monday nights

0:01:17 > 0:01:20just after 10pm on BBC Radio Two.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24Alex Lester, The Best Time Of The Day Show, Monday to Friday,

0:01:24 > 0:01:263am to 6am. You know you want to!

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Welcome to you, Don't Touch That Dial.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Now, why did you decide to appear on Eggheads?

0:01:32 > 0:01:35You must know about the show. Are you mad?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37- We're completely mad, absolutely. - We are completely mad.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Suzi watches it every night, preparing her dinner.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I do and I can't cook, that's the funniest part.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46So she knows what we're up against, but the thing is, we could

0:01:46 > 0:01:48conceivably win some money for Children In Need.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Exactly, that is the main thing.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55Suzi, you say you're an Eggheads fan. You kind of set your watch by it.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57I watch it every night, I even watch the repeats.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I love quiz shows and I particularly like this one.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03OK, well, it's serious quizzing stuff. These guys aren't bad at it.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Sometimes they have their moments.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Let me introduce you though, while we're on this subject, to the new

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Egghead there, may not be familiar to you yet. This is Pat.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16He's won Are You An Egghead earlier in the year,

0:02:16 > 0:02:21and now is appearing for the first time on an Eggheads edition.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22How does it feel, Pat?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25My heart has just slowed down. It's tremendous.

0:02:25 > 0:02:32Now, every day there's one £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money will roll over to the next show.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40So, Don't Touch That Dial, as this is the first of our celebrity specials,

0:02:40 > 0:02:44it's £1,000 that says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Let's set about the business of trying to do that.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49The first head-to-head is on Arts and Books.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52This is something I think might suit many of you.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55You're all well-read types.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58But any one of you can play. Who will it be?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Really? They're looking at me.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02All right, what the heck.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yeah, OK. Well, stay with us, Paul, stay with us.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09You can choose any Egghead you like, that's the advantage of being first.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11It's your choice who you play.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14We're trying to win money for Children In Need, so I'm going to

0:03:14 > 0:03:18prod the Eggheads in their untested spot and go for Pat.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Sounds fun!

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Prod the Eggheads in their untested spot. That sums him up.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28OK, let's have Pat and Paul into the question room, please.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34OK, Paul, you get to choose, you're the challenger, do you want to go first or second?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Using the penalty shootout mentality

0:03:37 > 0:03:41that you never know you're behind if you go first, I'll go first.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, first question then, Paul, and good luck with it.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46What term is used to refer

0:03:46 > 0:03:50to an item of additional material at the end of the book?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, it's not alliteration, because that's a figure of speech.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02But I think addendum is a more general phrase,

0:04:02 > 0:04:03so I'll say addendum.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Addendum, the extra material at the end of the book, yeah.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Right answer, well done, Paul. - Yes!- Good start.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Back of the net. And Pat, your first question.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17In a Limerick, the last line normally rhymes with which two others?

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I think it's a five line little poem.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28There was a young lady from Bengal

0:04:28 > 0:04:30She went to a fancy dress ball

0:04:30 > 0:04:32She went just for fun, dressed up as a bun

0:04:32 > 0:04:34And a dog ate her up in the hall.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Not a great Limerick, but... - No, it certainly...

0:04:37 > 0:04:39It certainly is an example of one,

0:04:39 > 0:04:41but then presumably should give you the answer.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Bengal, ball and hall. It's first and second.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47OK, well, in a Limerick,

0:04:47 > 0:04:50the last line rhymes normally with the first and second.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55It is correct, the lady from Bengal as Pat illustrated for us.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01OK, Paul, second question. In 1861, Francis Turner Palgrave compiled

0:05:01 > 0:05:06and published the first edition of which famous poetry anthology?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14I guess you've just seen the gesture I make

0:05:14 > 0:05:16when I don't know what I'm doing,

0:05:16 > 0:05:18this thing on both sides of my mouth.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23I don't think Other Men's Flowers is a famous regular anthology,

0:05:23 > 0:05:27so I will just have to go for The Oxford Book Of English Verse.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31First edition in 1861 was of The Golden Treasury.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35The Golden Treasury.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Let's see how Pat does with this second one.

0:05:38 > 0:05:44It's a very, very broad category, as they all are, and we hop from poetry to fiction and here's your question.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Which fictional school features a group of boys known as The Famous Five?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56I don't know anything about St Dominic's,

0:05:56 > 0:06:01but Dotheboys Hall, I think, is in Nicholas Nickleby by Dickens,

0:06:01 > 0:06:03and I think The Famous Five were generally complemented

0:06:03 > 0:06:06by the Fat Owl Of The Remove, Billy Bunter,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09and I think they went to Greyfriars School,

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- so The Famous Five are from Greyfriars.- With Billy Bunter.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18It is the right answer, yes, Pat. I could see Paul knew that, didn't he?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20OK, Paul, you've got to get this, then.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23What name is given to porcelain

0:06:23 > 0:06:27and other pottery ware that's undergone the first firing, but not been glazed?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34What name is given to porcelain and other pottery ware that's undergone

0:06:34 > 0:06:37the first firing, but not been glazed?

0:06:37 > 0:06:41I'll eliminate pastry just because that seems wrong.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46Pastry after all is thick and you're talking about something that's thin.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49In which case, if you're talking about thin,

0:06:49 > 0:06:53you're probably going to go for pancake.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'll go for pancake.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- OK, pancake, the first firing but not been glazed is the...- Biscuit.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Biscuit firing.- Oh!- Oh, Paul!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07You could be misled there because biscuit means twice cooked

0:07:07 > 0:07:09and you're referring to something that's only been baked once.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Oh, so from the French bis,

0:07:11 > 0:07:16Biscuit. I never knew that. Yes, I never worked that out.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yes, CJ's sticking up for you, saying, yes, logically,

0:07:18 > 0:07:23you could easily go for pancake, but it is the biscuit firing in pottery.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27The round's over. Bad luck, Paul, you won't be playing in the final round.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30You're there, Pat. Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Don't Touch That Dial have lost one brain from the final rounds,

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Eggheads haven't lost any.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38We've got three more rounds before the final round

0:07:38 > 0:07:39and this one is music.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh-ho! It is music and it's come up and...

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Everybody wants...- Anyone apart from Paul can play. Everyone wants to.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- I was raised in it all, you know, from my dad's band.- Go on, then.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- But saying that, OK, now I've put my...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Yeah, I guess I'll do it. - All right, Suzi.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01It can't be Pat, so any of the other four.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04All right, Daphne, you're on.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Woman to woman! - Here we go.- Fantastic.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12OK, let's have Suzi and Daphne into the question room, please.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17OK, then. Suzi, do you want to make Daphne begin or do you want the first set of questions?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- No, let's just get it over with. Go for it.- OK.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Here we are. The singing star Lorna Luft

0:08:26 > 0:08:29is the half-sister of which other singer and actress?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's a no-brainer. Liza Minnelli.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38I'm a big fan of Liza Minnelli, actually.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41OK. And it is Liza Minnelli. No messing around there.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43One to you then, Suzi.

0:08:43 > 0:08:49Daphne, your first question. In 1967 who had a UK number one single with

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Release Me, which went on to be the biggest selling single of that year?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Well, there's not much I remember from the '60s,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02because I had five babies during that time,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04but I do think it's Engelbert Humperdinck.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- You think it's Engelbert, "Please release me, let me go," yeah?- Yeah.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10That's absolutely right. Good start for you, Daphne.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12When you said that, that's the famous phrase -

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I you remember the '60s, you weren't probably there.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I thought, "Not Daphne and all that psychedelic stuff!"

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- It was the children?- Yeah, yeah. - Keeping your hands full.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK, Suzi, second question.

0:09:23 > 0:09:30Before The Parade Passes By is a song written for which musical of stage and film?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, I know West Side Story.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39I know every single song in that, even the dialogue.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm pretty familiar with Cabaret.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I don't think it's either of those. I'm going to say Hello Dolly.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Hello Dolly, what do we think, Don't Touch That Dial?

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- We think it's Hello Dolly. - We think it's Hello Dolly.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It is the right answer, well done, Suzi.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Hooray!

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Daphne, second question. Which member of The Beatles released

0:09:57 > 0:10:02the solo albums All Things Must Pass, Somewhere In England and Cloud Nine?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08I don't know.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- George Harrison?- Is that your answer?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Yes, sorry.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Don't be sorry.- Yeah, they know it is the right answer.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28OK, well, it's all square after Daphne landed that informed guess.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Suzi, third question, could win the round for you if you get it.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37How should a musical piece with the instruction "con brio" be played?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Can you spell that for me?

0:10:42 > 0:10:47Yeah, that's two words, C-O-N, con, and brio, B-R-I-O.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I think that's with vigour.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's amazing when you go into the zone to answer the questions,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56suddenly all the chat stops and it's just... The correct answer!

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well done, with vigour.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Can I just say, Dermot, I play classical piano.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05I didn't get that I can feel my dad up there now,

0:11:05 > 0:11:06all that money he wasted!

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Yeah.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11That grand piano in the sky would come crashing down on your head.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK, Daphne, it means you've got to get this.

0:11:14 > 0:11:20Let's see, who became the first person to hold the title of Master Of The King's Music in 1626?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28That's more like it! Nicholas Lanier.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36Master Of The King's Music in 1626 was Nicholas Lanier, it is correct.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40So, Suzi, going really, really well there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43You've taken us to the sudden death phase of the round, which means

0:11:43 > 0:11:48I can't offer you any more choices, so can you tell me this?

0:11:48 > 0:11:54Raymond Burns is the real name of which singer and musician, a founder of the punk group The Damned?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Punk just passed me by. I wasn't a fan of it at all.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- The Damned.- Yeah. I can't think of even somebody's name.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03The Damned.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05No, I can't even... I wasn't a fan.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I've no idea. I'll save you the time.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I don't even know any of their hits.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Raymond Burns is Captain Sensible from The Damned.- Oh, right. Oh, him.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Captain Sensible. - He's a weird guy, yeah, OK.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Didn't he have hits on his own? - Happy Talk.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- That was the one, yeah. From the musical. Back to...- Yeah.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Back to Daphne. OK.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28We are going back to you, Daphne, for another question and if you get this, you do go through.

0:12:28 > 0:12:33The Polovetsian Dances, often performed as a stand-alone concert piece,

0:12:33 > 0:12:36come from which opera by Alexander Borodin?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Prince Igor?

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Is correct, yes. The Polovetsian Dances are in Prince Igor,

0:12:46 > 0:12:50which means, Suzi, you're not going to be in the final round.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Bad luck. Daphne, you'll be there.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Don't Touch That Dial, you've lost those two brains from the final round.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03We've got two more head-to-heads, so you can even it up in the final round,

0:13:03 > 0:13:05and our next subject today is Politics

0:13:05 > 0:13:08and Richard, Clare or Alex to play. Politics.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09- Blimey.- Blimey, says Alex!

0:13:09 > 0:13:12What you looking at me for?

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Richard.- How political is the Politics round?- Pretty political.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- It's about politics. - Yeah, but it's not office politics. - You can do it, Richard.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- It's not office politics. - Go on, Richard.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Yes, we believe in you.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26- OK, pick one.- Pick an Egghead.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, Daphne and Pat have played.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30- You go CJ. Go for CJ.- Yeah.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- We think CJ.- OK, so it's going to be Richard playing CJ,

0:13:34 > 0:13:39the subject is Politics and the place to do it is the question room, please, guys.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Richard, would you like to go first or second?

0:13:42 > 0:13:47I'll probably go against what Paul said earlier and go second.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Switching it around, see if CJ will slip up for you.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56CJ, the Common Market was an informal term for which entity

0:13:56 > 0:13:58that has since undergone numerous official name changes?

0:14:02 > 0:14:06I hope this round goes on a while, because I do like this subject,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08and in view of our illustrious opponent,

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I just hope this will be a round with nowt taken out.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13He loses points for that!

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Richard is groaning because he's never heard that before.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20I don't even remember the question, but I'm just going to say the EU.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Yeah, it is the EU.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27That is correct. OK, Richard, and your question is this.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Which word came to prominence in the UK in 2009

0:14:30 > 0:14:34to refer to MPs' habits of switching their second home

0:14:34 > 0:14:36between different houses,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39allowing them to maximise their expense allowances?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43There were many, I seem to remember,

0:14:43 > 0:14:45most of them unbroadcastable at this time of the day.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'm not sure it was swallowing.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Blackballing refers to something entirely different.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53I've got to go with flipping, I think.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah, flipping homes, that is the right answer.- Phew!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Good start, Richard.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00CJ, second question.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05In 1993, Kim Campbell became the first female Prime Minister

0:15:05 > 0:15:06of which country?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11She was an absolute disaster.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I think she only lasted six months. Canada.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Canada is correct. Obviously, yes, that's North American,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19that'll do for you, will it? OK, that is the right answer.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well, Richard, and staying with North America

0:15:22 > 0:15:25for you, the North American Free Trade Agreement,

0:15:25 > 0:15:29commonly shortened to NAFTA, was an agreement signed in 1992

0:15:29 > 0:15:34between the United States, Canada and which other country?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I can't think it's Russia.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43What's Paul doing?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'm not sure it's...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Is it Mexico or Cuba?

0:15:48 > 0:15:51I think I'm going with Cuba.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Yeah, Cuba.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Do you want to know what Paul's doing?

0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah, go on, then. - He's lying on the desk.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06Given that the United States have had a long standing trade embargo

0:16:06 > 0:16:08with Cuba, which still hasn't been lifted.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13Curses! Can I... Can I go for Option B then, please?

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Well, B would be worse. - Would it?- No, it's... It's Mexico.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's because they're all joined up by borders, it was quite simple.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Yeah. I was thinking it was too simple, so I was...

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Bother! Anyway. - Yes, botheration!

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Mexico make up the North American Free Trade Agreement

0:16:30 > 0:16:33with the United States and Canada. So it means, CJ, you win the round

0:16:33 > 0:16:36if you give me the correct answer here.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Prior to becoming MP for Great Grimsby in 1977,

0:16:40 > 0:16:44which MP had career stints as a university lecturer,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46a writer of a book about New Zealand

0:16:46 > 0:16:50and the presenter of Yorkshire Television's Calendar program?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm not absolutely sure.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01The Calendar one is more of a link to me.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Unfortunately I can't remember who the Grimsby MP is.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Not Vince Cable, I don't think. Oh, hold on.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Austin Mitchell changed his name by deed poll to Haddock,

0:17:10 > 0:17:13didn't he, because of the fishing industry in Grimsby?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I think it was Grimsby.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Yes, he changed his name, didn't he? Austin Mitchell.- Austin Mitchell.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Well, that's an interesting fact.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24He's Austin Haddock Mitchell?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Either Haddock or Mackerel. I think it was Haddock.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30He changed his name by deed poll just to support,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32make a stand for the fishing industry.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35You got Austin Haddock Mitchell. It is the right answer.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Well done, CJ. You're through to the final round.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Richard, you won't be there.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46You've lost three brains from the final round.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51The Eggheads haven't lost any so our last chance to knock one of them out

0:17:51 > 0:17:53and that chance has to be taken by Clare or Alex

0:17:53 > 0:17:55on the subject of Film and Television.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Oh, now.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02Who do you think out of the two of us would be better in the end?

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I think Alex should stay here. Shall I do this one?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Are you sure? - I'll go Film and Television.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Clare has admitted to watching television. OK.- You do gardening.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14- You could be on your own. - So, you're going to play, Clare.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Yes.- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

0:18:17 > 0:18:21There's two of them left and they are Chris and Barry.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Well... Up to you.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- I'll go Chris. - Chris, OK. Yes, good choice.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28He doesn't have a TV!

0:18:28 > 0:18:33- He does, but it works by steam. - Black and white, 405 lines, yeah.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37OK, then let's have Clare and Chris into the question room, please.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Clare, do you want to go first or second?

0:18:41 > 0:18:42I think I'll go first.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, here we go. Which actress was controversially passed over

0:18:48 > 0:18:52for the role of Eliza Doolittle in the 1964 film My Fair Lady,

0:18:52 > 0:18:56despite having played the role to great acclaim on the stage?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, I'm a big fan of this lady.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03It's definitely Julie Andrews.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And, yes, it's Julie Andrews.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07It is the right answer, Clare.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Good start. And, Chris.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yes!

0:19:11 > 0:19:15What was the occupation of Smashie and Nicey, characters played on TV

0:19:15 > 0:19:17by Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, it was all for charity, mate. Yeah, they were DJs.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26DJs. And we've got to ask the DJs here, Smashie and Nicey,

0:19:26 > 0:19:31- it's good to laugh at yourselves, every now and again.- Yeah.- Me? Us?

0:19:31 > 0:19:34We hate them so much, yeah.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36No Smashies and all Niceys there.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39DJs is the right answer. Well done, Chris.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41And back to you then, Clare.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Here you go.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Who played housewife Mildred Roper

0:19:45 > 0:19:49in the TV series Man About The House and George And Mildred?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Well, I seem to remember being sent to bed when this was on.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I think Sally Thomsett would be too young then,

0:20:03 > 0:20:05and Tessa Wyatt, so I think it's Yootha Joyce.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- It's Yootha Joyce is Mildred in them both.- Hooray!- Well, done.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12And your second question, Chris.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16"You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi"

0:20:16 > 0:20:18is a quote attributed to which actor?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Well, that's a tough one, isn't it?

0:20:24 > 0:20:25Yeah.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30"You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi."

0:20:33 > 0:20:35It sounds laid back like Robert Mitchum.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39I don't think it was Bogart and it sure as hell wasn't John Wayne,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41so, yeah, I'll say Robert Mitchum.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Robert Mitchum,

0:20:42 > 0:20:45"You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi"

0:20:45 > 0:20:49was a quote attributed, an observation attributed to Humph.

0:20:49 > 0:20:54Humphrey Bogart. Well, now, at last, a chance...

0:20:54 > 0:20:57A chance, so compose yourself, Clare, a chance to get through

0:20:57 > 0:21:00to the final round and Alex is very tense as well.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04- He wants someone to hold his hand. - I'll be really lonely later!- OK.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08This guarantees you a place in the final round if you get it.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12What are the policeman who terminate Runners

0:21:12 > 0:21:17in the 1976 sci-fi film Logan's Run called?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Have you seen it, Clare? Can you remember it?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25- I haven't seen it.- Right.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27- I haven't heard of it.- Oh!

0:21:27 > 0:21:32I... My gut reaction was Sandmen, so I think...

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yeah, I'll say Sandmen. I don't have a reason, but I think it's right.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Well, you say you haven't seen it, never heard of it, so it is a guess,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42but, looking at the possibilities there, going for Sandmen

0:21:42 > 0:21:44and I can tell you in this studio,

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Clare, you're being willed over the line there by your teammates

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- and they know you're in the final round!- Yay!- It's correct!

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Sandmen. You've made it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Great news for Don't Touch That Dial.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58It means, Chris, you won't be there.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03This is what we've been playing towards.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads

0:22:09 > 0:22:11won't be allowed to take part.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14So, Paul, Suzi and Richard from Don't Touch That Dial

0:22:14 > 0:22:18and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?

0:22:20 > 0:22:24So, Clare and Alex, you're playing to win Don't Touch That Dial £1,000,

0:22:24 > 0:22:26or to win your chosen charity £1,000.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30CJ, Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something

0:22:30 > 0:22:33which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37The questions are all general knowledge

0:22:37 > 0:22:39and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Don't Touch That Dial, the question is,

0:22:41 > 0:22:44are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47And, Clare and Alex, would you like to go first or second?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49It exudes confidence. We've decided

0:22:49 > 0:22:53we're just going to go and go for it, that's what we're going to do.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58You've decided to go first. Best of luck. Let's see if you can do it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Come on, Alex. Yes!

0:23:00 > 0:23:02First question for you.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05The TV series Ashes To Ashes and Life On Mars

0:23:05 > 0:23:09take their names from Top Ten hit singles by which singer?

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Well, Clare's favourite artist. - One of them.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20One of them, and I'm glad I know this as well,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23independently of Clare I hasten to point out, David Bowie.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK, David Bowie. Yeah.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28David Bowie it is, so one to you, Don't Touch That Dial.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well done, Clare and Alex there. OK, Eggheads,

0:23:31 > 0:23:34in the military, what name was sometimes given

0:23:34 > 0:23:37to a soldier assigned to an officer as a personal servant?

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Well, he may have been expected to be a Superman,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48and I don't know if he cleared out the spiders and been a Spiderman,

0:23:48 > 0:23:50but he was CERTAINLY a batman.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53..is the right answer. Yes, Eggheads, one to you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, Clare and Alex, second question.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Where was the infamous World War I spy Mata Hari born?

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Now, I...

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I don't think...

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Nicaragua doesn't ring a bell.- No. The Netherlands ring a bell...

0:24:12 > 0:24:16The Netherlands rings a bell with me. I don't think it was Nigeria.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17I think we both...

0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Our gut reaction was the Netherlands, for both of us.- OK.

0:24:20 > 0:24:25So we're either both stupid or both brilliant.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Well, let's go for brilliant, shall we?- Yeah.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29We'll go for the Netherlands.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33OK, well, I can tell you, you are both brilliant.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35- It's the right answer.- Yay!

0:24:35 > 0:24:38The point is on the board for Don't Touch That Dial.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39They're two one up

0:24:39 > 0:24:42and let's see how you do with your second question, Eggheads.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Italian industrialists the Agnelli family have been involved since 1923

0:24:46 > 0:24:48with which Italian football club?

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- They're the Fiat people in Turin. - Fiat are based in Turin.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58- That's where the Agnellis are. - Juventus is almost the house team.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yeah. I think it's Juventus.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Well, the Agnellis were owners of Fiat,

0:25:04 > 0:25:05which is based in Turin,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08and the football team based in Turin is Juventus,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10- so the answer must be Juventus.- OK, Juventus.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12It is the right answer.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Well, done, Eggheads. Two to you and back to Alex and Clare.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Well, if you get this

0:25:16 > 0:25:19you just might beat them.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21It could be the question that decides it.

0:25:21 > 0:25:27Let's see how you do. Inaugurated by US Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31what is celebrated each year on 22 April?

0:25:37 > 0:25:41How far do you think women's rights were along in America in 1970?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43That was my... That's my...

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- You think they weren't ready for it then?- I think that...

0:25:46 > 0:25:50That was the one that I thought could be it, but in truth I don't know.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- I don't know when Martin Luther King's birthday is.- But I'd think...

0:25:53 > 0:25:57Bearing in mind it may have taken a few years after his assassination

0:25:57 > 0:26:00to get to the point people thought he ought to have a special day.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05Was he assassinated in 1960? Would it have been a tenth anniversary thing?

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Something like that, yeah.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10I just wonder because Earth Day, I don't even know what...

0:26:10 > 0:26:13That sounds like a more sort of late 70s eco thing going on.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I was going to say, "Is International Women's Day only in Britain?",

0:26:16 > 0:26:20- but the clue's in the title!- It's a bit of a clue, you're right there.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Shall we go for Martin Luther King? - I... Yeah, do that. Do that thing.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well, we've mulled it over...

0:26:29 > 0:26:32..and so we're going to have a wild stab

0:26:32 > 0:26:34at Martin Luther King's birthday.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36OK, Martin Luther King's birthday.

0:26:36 > 0:26:42Inaugurated by Gaylord Nelson in 1970, celebrated on 22 April...

0:26:42 > 0:26:45It's the last one on your list, it's Earth Day.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Aw!- Earth Day. You'd lost your North American contingent there,

0:26:49 > 0:26:51hadn't you, in those head to heads?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55I'm sure either Suzi or Paul or both would have known that.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59So, it means the Eggheads have the opportunity to wrap it up,

0:26:59 > 0:27:02but it goes on if they don't.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Eggheads, a statue of the Sylvester Stallone film character Rocky

0:27:06 > 0:27:09stands outside the Museum Of Art in which American city?

0:27:12 > 0:27:15A statue of the Sylvester Stallone film character Rocky

0:27:15 > 0:27:20stands outside the Museum Of Art in which American city?

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- It's got to be that, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, Rocky was set in Philadelphia,

0:27:24 > 0:27:26so it wouldn't make sense for a statue of Rocky

0:27:26 > 0:27:30to be based in any other city, so our answer is Philadelphia.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Is that where he runs up the steps and...

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Is that outside the Museum of Art?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36We're all going to do that one year.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40Well, you can do it now, it is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won!

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yeah, a lot of North American questions there

0:27:47 > 0:27:48and, as I said there...

0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Where were they?- Unfortunately, they lost those head to heads.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- The tactics failed early on, didn't they?- The Tic Tacs definitely failed!

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Thank you for playing.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00We appreciate you taking the time out of your schedules

0:28:00 > 0:28:02to have a laugh, try and beat the Eggheads

0:28:02 > 0:28:04and raise that money for charity.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Not just Alex and Clare, thank you very much for that,

0:28:07 > 0:28:10but to Richard, Suzi and Paul. We really do appreciate you joining us

0:28:10 > 0:28:12here in the studio, don't we, Eggheads?

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Yes, we do.- Absolutely.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20They still reign supreme over quiz land.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22I'm afraid you haven't won the £1,000,

0:28:22 > 0:28:25which means, of course, the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:25 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:26 > 0:28:31Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a team of sporting legends

0:28:31 > 0:28:35captained by John Inverdale have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
