0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37You might recognise them, as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Priceless.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Familiar to the millions who tune in each week who watch
0:00:46 > 0:00:49the ever-popular Antiques Roadshow, this team, made up
0:00:49 > 0:00:54of the show's experts, are rather used to handling well-loved antiques.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58So, the Eggheads are in safe hands. Let's meet them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello. I am Hilary Kay, and I'm an expert in collectibles.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hello. My name is Mark Allen.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I am a miscellaneous expert on the Roadshow, and I like anything strange.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Eric Knowles, and I'm a Roadshow expert on Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hello. I'm Paul Atterbury, another miscellaneous expert,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19with a secret passion for trains, especially for Chris.
0:01:19 > 0:01:26And I'm Lars Tharp. I specialise in Chinese works of art and also the works of William Hogarth.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Now, Priceless, welcome to you. Thank you so much for playing the Eggheads today.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I want to ask you about your knowledge.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Of course you have got loads of knowledge of antiques and the rest of it, but how would that apply
0:01:36 > 0:01:40to Eggheads? I guess you have got History covered.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42History is OK.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47We have an expert who can only talk about things before 1900.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52I won't tell you who that is. So that is a huge advantage for us.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53We have a world expert on geography.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57So, we have got basically everything covered, haven't we, chaps?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yes, yes, yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Whatever you say. - Shall we play, then?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Go on, then.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money will roll over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, Priceless, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:22 > 0:02:29Rubbing of hands there. OK, the first Egghead battle, then, is on the subject of Film and Television.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Which one of you wants to play this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35I think we have a nominated expert here, which is you, Eric.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37All right, we will give it a go.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Right, we have got you, Eric. Now you need an Egghead to play against. Who is it going to be?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Judith, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Judith, OK. Let's have Eric and Judith into the question room,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50then, please, to make sure you can't confer with your team mates.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55As the challenger, Eric, you get to choose. Do you want to begin or let Judith start?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I think I will let Judith start.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04The first set of questions for you, Judith. Here you go.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08What was the title of BBC One's 1970s and 1980s
0:03:08 > 0:03:12school sporting competition show, hosted by Ron Pickering?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Well, I think it is either Record Breakers or We Are The Champions.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25I can hear a sort of song in my head about We Are The Champions.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27The logic would say We Are The Champions
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- rather than Record Breakers. - Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We Are The Champions, hosted by the legendary Ron Pickering.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36It is the right answer, well done, Judith.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Eric, your first question. Who won an Oscar for her performance
0:03:42 > 0:03:45as Annie Wilkes in the 1990 film Misery?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Do you know, I have never seen the film. Um...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57But, but, but... I am going to go...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I am going to go with Kathy Bates.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I am going to go with Kathy Bates.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Yes, Kathy Bates it is, in Misery,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and having not seen it, I can highly recommend it to you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It is a truly terrifying film.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, there you are, you have got one on the board as well.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19And back to Judith. What is Al Pacino's full first name?
0:04:24 > 0:04:30Well, it would make sense if it was Alphonso or Alexandro,
0:04:30 > 0:04:31if he is called Pacino.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So I imagine it must be Alfredo.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It is the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Now, Eric's second question.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43In which a US sitcom does winning 100,000 on a scratchcard
0:04:43 > 0:04:48cause the main character to try to atone for his past misdeeds?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Don't take it personally, Chris!
0:04:54 > 0:05:01OK, well, I'm sorry to say I have never watched them.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Scrubs I think is set in a hospital, isn't it?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Everybody Hates Chris, My Name Is Earl...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10We can't do a 50/50 on this programme, can we?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13But either way, it is one or the other.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Um...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I will go with...
0:05:19 > 0:05:20I am going to go with My Name Is Earl.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I have to admit, sorry, team, it is a pure guess.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26OK, a pure guess on My Name Is Earl.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, not a pure guess, you say 50/50, you eliminated Scrubs.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Went for the other two and got the right answer!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well done, Eric. My Name Is Earl.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Judith, the screenplay for the 1963 film drama The Servant starring
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Dirk Bogarde and James Fox was written by which British playwright?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I remember the film.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It was brilliant. Um... I don't think it was David Hare.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I don't think it is Joe Orton's type of thing.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00I think it might be Harold Pinter, but I am not really sure.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Pinter?- Yes.- Yes, it is Pinter who wrote The Servant.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Correct, so you have got three,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and Eric has got to get this to stay in the game.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Eric, in the 1980 film Superman II,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17which English actor played the man of steel's enemy General Zod?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I... I don't think it was Albert Finney.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I don't think it was Albert Finney. A great actor.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I am going to go down the middle on this one.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I am going to go with Malcolm McDowell, right or wrong.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35And who played General Zod?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Terence Stamp.- Terence Stamp!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Terence Stamp, not Malcolm McDowell.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44And no chance of a reprieve. That is the danger of going second.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47If the Egghead doesn't slip up, I can't put another question to any of you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50No place for you in the final round, Eric. Judith, you are there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Would you both please come back and join you teams.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Well, after that round, it means Priceless will be Knowles-less, which is
0:06:58 > 0:07:02a long way of saying they are one brain down for the final round.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The Eggheads haven't lost any yet. We will play our next head-to-head.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08This one is Music. Who'd like to play this?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It can't be Eric, I'm afraid. Any of the other four. Music.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Why are you looking this way? I don't know anything about music after 1900, that's the problem.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21But you play the cello, for goodness sake.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You two used to be so indecisive.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- But now we're not so sure? - Exactly.- I'll go, then.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be Judith. - It can't be Judith.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Do you want to take Kevin out?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Come on, Kevin.- They want to take you out!- Where to?
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Somewhere where they don't serve fatty fish, so we can starve your brain.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46That would be the question room, then.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Let us have Hilary and Kevin in there, please.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Of course, Hilary, one of your major interests is rock'n'roll memorabilia, isn't it?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I hoped you wouldn't bring that up, I know what will happen -
0:07:58 > 0:08:03There will be a question on rock'n'roll, and I'll fluff it! Yes, I do love rock'n'roll,
0:08:03 > 0:08:09and post-1960 music generally. So, we will see.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Hilary, do you want to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18OK, try this for size, then, Hilary.
0:08:18 > 0:08:25Fleetwood Mac achieved their first UK number one single in 1969 with an instrumental named after which bird?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, I can hear it in my head playing,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and what I can't hear is quacking.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39And I can't hear whatever that raucous noise that a gannet makes,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43what I can hear is that wonderful mewing and crying of the albatross,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45so I will go for albatross.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Soaring above the ocean high.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Albatross is the right answer, well done.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52And Kevin, your first question.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58Which song from The Sound Of Music includes the words, "Small and white, clean and bright"?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think we have long established that The Sound Of Music
0:09:06 > 0:09:09is not one of my special interests.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It seems to fit with Edelweiss, so go with Edelweiss.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15"Small and white, clean and bright", it is the right answer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well done, Kevin. OK, Hilary.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19A second question.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Which actor is mentioned in the lyrics of the Irving Berlin song, Putting On The Ritz?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Um, I don't think that
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Irving Berlin would have written about James Cagney.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I can hear the lyrics in my head, and "dressed up like Gary Cooper"
0:09:41 > 0:09:43comes to mind. Gary Cooper.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Gary Cooper it is, well done, Hilary. Two to you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49And Kevin.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Who sang with Lil' Kim, Maya and Christina Aguilera
0:09:53 > 0:09:58on the 2001 cover of Lady Marmalade for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Again, 2001 seems a little bit early maybe for Beyonce on her own.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I may be wrong, though.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I'm going to go for Pink.- Pink? - I am really not sure.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It is the right answer, yes, Kevin.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You have got it. OK, it is all square.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Now, Hilary, you get this right
0:10:20 > 0:10:24and you have got a good chance of going through, I feel.
0:10:24 > 0:10:31What was the name of the band formed by New Order's Bernard Sumner and Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr,
0:10:31 > 0:10:36whose singles included Getting Away With It, featuring Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant on vocals?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I really do not know this. The only band...
0:10:42 > 0:10:48Well, the only name that seems at all familiar is Electronic.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I am going to go for Electronic.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55OK, you went with your first instinct.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You got the right answer!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Well done, held your nerve.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05First instinct standing you in very good stead.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, Kevin, you have got to get this.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Which operatic tenor's single releases include the duets
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Perhaps Love with John Denver and Till I Loved You with Jennifer Rush?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Yes, a bit predictable that those three would come up, wasn't it?
0:11:25 > 0:11:30On the basis that I think
0:11:30 > 0:11:35the success of the Three Tenors tended to bring in terms
0:11:35 > 0:11:37of other things like this,
0:11:37 > 0:11:42I think Pavarotti did a bit more of that than the others.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43So I shall go for Pavarotti.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Er, Perhaps Love with John Denver, Till I Loved You with Jennifer Rush.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54The tenor singing alongside them was Placido Domingo.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Placido Domingo, which means that's great news for you, Hilary, you are
0:11:57 > 0:12:00through to the final round, well played.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Well, that has made it all square. Both teams now have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Fantastic performance, then, in the question room by Hilary.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Let's hope it is followed up by one of the guys who is going to play this round. It is Arts and Books.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And Mark, Paul or Lars to play.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25I think since Paul has written more books than any of us put together, he is our book man.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29OK. Right, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Judith and Kevin have played, so you have Pat, Barry or Chris to join you in the question room.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Well, you say, don't you? - I think we will try Chris, please.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40OK, going for them now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Let's have Paul and Chris into the question room, then.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So, Paul, on the Antiques Roadshow, what brings you most pleasure?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51A lot of people mention, they say it has got to be the thing that
0:12:51 > 0:12:55somebody bought for 50p or found in the attic that then is valued
0:12:55 > 0:13:00at five figures or more, but is it always that, or is it just something with a remarkable story behind it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03For me, it is entirely the stories.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08We see so many things that are not particularly valuable in financial terms, but they take
0:13:08 > 0:13:15us into people's histories, they reveal extraordinary things done by people in the past, or recent past.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20And I think the anticipation for the day for me is always, what am I going to hear about next?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Paul, do want to go first or second? - I think I will go first.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33In painting, what is a thin layer of transparent colour laid over another known as?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Well, I have never been a painter, although I always wanted to be one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I love paintings. But glazing I think is what you do when you lay
0:13:44 > 0:13:48one colour thinly over another, so I am going to go for glaze.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Glaze is the right answer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Yes, Paul, an assured start there. Chris, your first question.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57What is the subtitle of Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Right. Othello, the Moor of Venice.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Pericles, Prince of Tyre. But it is Twelfth Night, or What You Will.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Twelfth Night, or What You Will.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It is the right answer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And back to you, Paul.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17In F Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, what is the first name
0:14:17 > 0:14:22of Mrs Buchanan, the woman whose affections Gatsby tries to win?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Well, they are all wonderful 1920s names, aren't they?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30These flower names were so popular then.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I think, whether one thinks of it as the book or as the film
0:14:33 > 0:14:37with Robert Redford, I think you would always know it was Daisy.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Daisy is the right answer. Well done. Two to you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Chris, which poet wrote the lines,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46"Let us go, then, you and I
0:14:46 > 0:14:49"When the evening is spread out against the sky
0:14:49 > 0:14:52"Like a patient etherised upon a table,"
0:14:52 > 0:14:56in a famous poem first published in 1915?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I think, but I am not sure,
0:15:01 > 0:15:06it is in the Love Song Of Alfred J Prufrock by T S Eliot.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- TS Eliot.- TS Eliot, and it is by Eliot, well done, Chris.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15And Paul, a third question for you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20A Confederate General From Big Sur, Trout Fishing In America
0:15:20 > 0:15:25and In Watermelon Sugar are 1960s novels by which American writer?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32A tricky one, this. I'm not quite sure.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I think we can rule out Kerouac.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I don't think he wrote any of those after he had done On The Road.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Difficult. It is a toss up in this case.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I think I'm going to go for Richard Brautigan.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It is the right answer, well done, Paul.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52So, it means you have got to get this, Chris.
0:15:52 > 0:15:59Which British artist, winner of the 1989 Turner Prize, makes sculptures and photographs that are inspired by
0:15:59 > 0:16:02the long walks he takes in Britain and around the world?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I have never heard of any of them!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15The one who sounds like a long-distance walker to me
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- is Mark Wallinger. So that is who I'll go with.- Long-distance walker.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Eggheads?- Richard Long.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27I am sure our antiques experts know as well, it is Richard Long.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Which means you are taking a short walk back your team,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32but you are not playing in the final round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Well done, Paul! You're through.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Well, as it stands, after that, Priceless are only one brain down,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47but the Eggheads have taken two mighty blows there.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Chris and Kevin will be missing from the final round.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52And our last subject today is History.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Mark or Lars to play it? History?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- I think Lars is up for this. - Are you sure about this?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I would have preferred sport, you realise!- Oh, yes!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And we believe you. It is going to be Lars.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It is Barry or Pat. - It is Barry, isn't it? Barry.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18We have decided that it is Barry.
0:17:18 > 0:17:25- Yes.- OK. Could I ask Lars and Barry to take their positions in the question room, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29OK, Lars, let's play the round. Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Oh... Pain over. First.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36OK, here you go, Lars.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Which Egyptian ruler unexpectedly died while still a teenager?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Well, Rameses II accomplished a hell of a lot for a teenager,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54so I am going to steer clear of him.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59And also, I do seem to recall that the funeral arrangements
0:17:59 > 0:18:03for King Tut, Tutankhamun, were rather hurried.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05They didn't expect him to go quite so quickly.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- So he is our man.- He certainly is.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11That is the right answer, well done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14A lovely explanation, as well. Barry.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Which English King suffered a near fatal
0:18:16 > 0:18:21jousting accident at the age of 44, permanently affecting his health?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Well, Henry VIII was the absolute Renaissance prince
0:18:29 > 0:18:31before he suffered the jousting accident,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35and he was very learned and very faithful to all his followers,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38and immediately after the jousting accident, there was something of
0:18:38 > 0:18:42a change in his character, and he became the bloody despot
0:18:42 > 0:18:45he ended up as. So the answer is Henry VIII.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Henry VIII is the right answer. Well done, Barry, and back to Lars.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Your second question.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55The early English colony of Jamestown was located in which modern US State?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It is either Virginia or Maryland.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I am going to have to go for Maryland.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Maryland, ooh, a howl there
0:19:13 > 0:19:16from your compatriots here.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20It is Virginia. It is Jamestown, Virginia.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, tossing up between the two and came down on the wrong side.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26A chance, you're not getting too many chances here, Eggheads,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28a chance for Barry to take the lead.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32How many ships of the British fleet were lost at the Battle of Trafalgar?
0:19:35 > 0:19:40I seem to remember there was something like 37 British ships
0:19:40 > 0:19:44at Trafalgar, and it would be very unlikely that 50 would be lost,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47or even 25, so the answer must be zero.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Which is why it was such a resounding victory.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55It's the right answer. So, you've got to get this, Lars.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02The so-called Battle of the Catalonian Plains was a defeat for which warrior general?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Well, I think we can rule out Genghis
0:20:10 > 0:20:16because he didn't get further than just a stone's throw of Venice.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I never heard Julius Caesar described as a warrior general,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21although he most certainly was.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26It's a curious choice of word for a Roman general.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I'm going to switch my original thoughts.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm going to switch over to Attila. It's a guess.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35OK, a guess, but a correct one.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It's the right answer. Attila the Hun.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Barry, which 10th century Frankish king was the son of Louis the Stammerer?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, Pepin the Short was the father of Charlemagne,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54which would put him earlier than the 10th century.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Never heard of Louis the Sluggard, though some Louis may have been.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01But Charles the Simple was certainly a 10th century king,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03so I shall go for Charles the Simple.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Right answer, Charles the Simple,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08which means in spite of your heroics on that last question,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- the slip up on the middle one has cost you a place in the final round, Lars.- Oh, dear.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21It's time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:23 > 0:21:26won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31So, Eric and Lars from Priceless and Chris and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34would you leave the studio, please.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39So, Hilary, Mark and Paul, you are playing to win Priceless £3,000 for your chosen charity.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Barry, Pat and Judith, you are playing for something which money can't buy.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45The Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and you are allowed to confer in the final round.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Priceless, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Hilary, Mark and Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04I think we've succeeded when we've gone first in the past, so we'll stick with that, please.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Kicking off then, General Knowledge just to remind you, so anything can come up.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Your first one, Priceless.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18Before he became a comedian and TV personality, Harry Hill underwent training to become what?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- I can't imagine Harry Hill doing, "Morning all..."- No.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think Doctor sounds ...
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I mean, he's got a very good bedside manner.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's a stab in the dark, really, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But I feel Doctor. What do you feel?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I'll go with you.- Yes?- Yes. - We're going to go with Doctor.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41OK, Doctor. There's a bit of miming going on behind you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45You're not allowed to Look behind you, but Lars has been doing
0:22:45 > 0:22:48the old pulse and the rest of it. It is the right answer, yes.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Doctor, yes.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54No need to get your heart rate up. So Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58In Roman mythology, who was the god of the sun?
0:23:01 > 0:23:07- Sol.- Saturn is farming and agriculture.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09We think it's Sol.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Sol, yeah, it is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17OK, second question, Priceless.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22What term is used in modern music for the process of taking a short sound or musical phrase
0:23:22 > 0:23:29from an original recording and using it in a new recording, often in repeated sequences?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Come on, Mark.- I was going to say, being a bit of a musician,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and having bought the Prodigy's latest album...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- You used to be in a band yourself.- I did.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Did you do any phasing?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Did you phase, modulate or sample?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I used to phase a bit with my guitar.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Modulating, not so much.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- How was your singing?- Not very good.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Not very good, but I have to say, when I started playing
0:23:54 > 0:23:58musical instruments, sampling was in its infancy.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I had a three-second sampler. Three whole seconds.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03- Wow.- So, sampling.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Sampling, we're going to say.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Sampling is, of course, the right answer,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10as you well knew there. Two to you.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15OK, Eggheads, which political philosopher was born in Trier
0:24:15 > 0:24:19in 1818 and died in London in 1883?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Marx.- Marx? - The dates look pretty good as well.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32He died in London. I don't think Nietzsche died in London.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35We think of those three, Karl Marx was born in Trier,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37one of Germany's oldest cities.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Born in Trier, died in London, buried in London, of course.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42In Highgate.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's the right answer, yes.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Karl Marx.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48So full marks for both teams.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Two each.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51This to you, Priceless.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54What, according to the famous 1960s comment
0:24:54 > 0:25:00by the Canadian communications theorist Marshall McLuhan, is the message?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07We are into our period. Were you that sort of person in the '60s?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11No, I was still watching Blue Peter in the 1960s, I'm afraid, Paul.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12But were you on message?
0:25:12 > 0:25:18I was probably on message because I was watching the medium.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24We think we might have come up with the M-word. Which is the medium.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28It certainly isn't M-word. I can tell you it's one of those M-words.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- You think it's the medium? - The medium.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Yes, the medium is the message. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK, it is 3-2.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41If it stays that way after this question to the Eggheads, you've won the money.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Eggheads, "The horror, the horror,"
0:25:45 > 0:25:49are the famous last words of a main character in which of Joseph Conrad's works?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Heart of Darkness, on which Apocalypse Now was based.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Was it said by Colonel Kurtz?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm not sure if it's Kurtz or Martin Sheen's character.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03It's definitely Heart of Darkness.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07We think it's also said in Apocalypse Now,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10which was based on Heart of Darkness.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It is originally from Heart of Darkness.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15That is correct.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17OK, well, it's all square.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I thought it might be after those questions.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24So we're going to take away the multiple choices and make you answer on your own.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Priceless, this is your question.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30In which month of the year did the ancient Romans celebrate
0:26:30 > 0:26:38a fertility rite called the lupercalia? L-U-P-E-R-C-A-L-I-A.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Fertility rites, generally, are spring.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48So are we just going to plump for a month in spring?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50April or May.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I have a feeling...
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I don't want to be the one who says, but I would possibly go for April.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Make a decision. You're the team captain.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Say something.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04I'm very sorry, boys, March.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09March, OK. Well, going April, May. The boys behind you were going May.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11But it's February.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Earlier. Bad luck there. So close.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17One month out in the end. It might not be over.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21The eggheads have got to get this. We play on if they don't.
0:27:21 > 0:27:28Eggheads, which two-word phrase devised by Malcolm Gladwell describes the level at which
0:27:28 > 0:27:31the momentum for change becomes unstoppable?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Tipping point.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Tipping point.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Paradigm shift...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I'm more inclined to go for paradigm.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- I'll go with whatever you say. - No, I don't know.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- It's just what came into my head. - It could be either.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- OK, I'll go for tipping point. - We are uncertain on this one.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02But we're going to go for tipping point.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04The answer is ...
0:28:04 > 0:28:05tipping point.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Thank you so much for playing, Priceless.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17You've been absolutely magnificent.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And it's just tipped on that one question there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25That last round, we could have gone on for ages, I suspect, but we finally found a winner.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Thank you for taking part in Eggheads. We appreciate you sparing the time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38I'm afraid you haven't won the £3,000, so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Join us next time to see if a team of Grumpy Old Women have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
