0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And taking on our legendary quiz goliaths, today,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Gavel Gang.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Now, this team should be very familiar
0:00:42 > 0:00:45to those of you who watch Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The series where antiques experts travel around the country
0:00:48 > 0:00:52looking for dusty, old relics that they can sell on for a profit.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I don't know about relics, but I've got five old masters over here,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00who by the end of the show, we hope, are going, going gone.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Well, let's meet the Gavel Gang.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Anita Manning and I'm an auctioneer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm James Braxton
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and I'm a director of a nationwide auction company.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Hello, I'm Thomas Plant and I'm an auctioneer and jewellery specialist.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hello, I'm Mark Stacey, I used to be an auctioneer,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21but now I'm a dealer.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hello, I'm David Barby,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm a chartered surveyor, valuer and auctioneer.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27And welcome to you, Gavel Gang.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Gavel Gang is rather appropriate with the auctioneering gag, there.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Going, going gone.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But I was thinking, I mean,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37you lot must be perfectly equipped for this game.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39You know the categories we've got here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Anita, talk to me as team captain, there.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43About how you've prepared for this.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I suspect, you know, endless discussions.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Endless discussions about our name.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I was quizzing my team in make-up
0:01:50 > 0:01:55and I realised that they know absolutely nothing.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59But I will keep them under control and they certainly do need it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Particularly Mark Stacey, there. He's a wild boy.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06OK, right, we'll keep him under control.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Let me tell you what happens.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:09 > 0:02:12up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So, Gavel Gang, the Eggheads have won the last six games
0:02:20 > 0:02:25and that means £7,000 today says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27First head-to-head battle,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29first attempt to knock an Egghead out is History.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Oh-ho-ho. Well, you know,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34we cover an awful lot of ground in History,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36but we've got different experts there. Who's it going to be?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- No, I'm useless.- Useless at history. - Kings.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45- They're all useless at history, so I'll take it on.- Look at that!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47How decisive that was, you were listening to the discussion,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49they might have come up with someone,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51you thought, "Forget it. Let's get on with the game."
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I could see them all shaking their heads and looking worried, Dermot.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Well, good on you, Anita.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And one of the advantages is you get to choose any Egghead you like.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Who do you think can might not enjoy History?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I may tell you now, actually, they all do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I think, um, Barry.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Barry, yeah, why not?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Anita and Barry, into the Question Room, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Well, this is for charity, of course.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Best of luck to you. We're going to start now.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Would you like to go first or second?- Yes, let's, I'll go first.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28OK, best of luck. Anita, off we go then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32A style of what was named in honour of the US civil war officer
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Ambrose Burnside?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Civil War, not one of my strengths, I'm afraid.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I think I'm going to go for...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48a Tie Knot.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, we'll let Chris answer.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Sideburns.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Ambrose Burnside and hence sideburns.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58OK, nothing there, let's see how Barry starts.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02In 1940, the 7th British Armoured Division adopted
0:04:02 > 0:04:03which animal as its badge?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, I believe they were known as the Desert Rats
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and a desert rat is a Jerboa.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- We're talking Monty here, are we? - We are, indeed.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Jerboa, the desert rat, identified there by Barry.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19So, Anita, let's get this on the board.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Which monarch was the son of Queen Victoria's eldest child Vicky?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Well, I don't think it was Victor Emanuel of Italy.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38I think I'll go with...
0:04:42 > 0:04:43..Nicholas of Russia.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK, Nicholas of Russia.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I must say, Anita, the faces of the rest of the Gavel Gang
0:04:51 > 0:04:53aren't exactly lit up with joy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm afraid we're not going to turn that one green.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It's Kaiser Bill, Wilhelm II of Germany.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hence, I mean, Eggheads,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06during the First World War there was
0:05:06 > 0:05:09incredible attempts to distance the Royal Family from them.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, they changed their name from Wettin to Windsor.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yeah, well, Wilhelm II, there, gives Barry a chance
0:05:15 > 0:05:17to close it down early.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Well, we're not selling this lot
0:05:18 > 0:05:22very expensively, if the gavel does come down on this.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24But, you never know, if Barry gets it wrong, we continue.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Barry, the site of the Battle of Flodden is in which county?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I believe Flodden was in 1513
0:05:33 > 0:05:37and it was one of the great disasters in Scottish history.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I believe it was in Northumberland.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Flodden in 1513, tell us a bit more about it, Barry.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The Scots invaded with quite a huge army
0:05:45 > 0:05:50and the English, under the Earl of Surrey, had a much smaller army, but
0:05:50 > 0:05:53they were much better organised and they absolutely massacred the Scots.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56A famous Scots poem was written, called Flowers Of The Forest,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- to commemorate the event. - Can't really fault you on that.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's worthy of an antiques show, isn't it?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04All the background, that's what you like, that's what we like to hear.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Maybe Anita doesn't. It's the right answer. Northumberland is correct.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Bad luck, Anita. It means you're not in the final round.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15So much fun chatting to you, but you can come back and lead the team here
0:06:15 > 0:06:19as you make decisions about who plays the next head-to-heads.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, honestly, Eggheads, is that a way
0:06:23 > 0:06:28to treat your celebrity guests here, today? As it stands the Gavel Gang
0:06:28 > 0:06:32have lost one brain from the final round, but lots of quizzing to come.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Let's see what our next head-to-head holds. Ah, it's Geography.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Who wants to play?- What about James? - James, do you want to play?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Well, I'm least able, yes, I'll play. I'll do Geography.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I like the way they all just turn to you as if you're a master in it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I've obviously had a privileged childhood
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and have travelled everywhere.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Looking rather bemused at the way they selected you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well, choose an Egghead, anyone you like, apart from Barry.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'll try Pat.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Why not? I mean, you're fairly well travelled.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Within Europe.- Within Europe. - But not beyond Europe.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13That's interesting. OK, well, let's see how it goes then.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Should be fascinating.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17James and Pat, then, into the Question Room, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK, well, let's play the round.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22James, Geography. Your choice, as you know,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24do you want to go first or second?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Um, I think I'll go second.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33OK, tactical switch, putting the Egghead in first.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38So, Pat, where is the airport with the International code HKG?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45My first impressions are it sounds like Hong Kong.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I don't think it's Helsinki, I don't think it's Hanoi.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, I'm going for Hong Kong.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53HKG is, as you would expect, Hong Kong.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55OK, well, James, gone for the second set
0:07:55 > 0:07:57and this is your opening question.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59In terms of area,
0:07:59 > 0:08:04what is the smallest independent country in mainland South America?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Right, Chile runs down the spine.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I would say Chile's quite a big country.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Paraguay, I've heard a lot about. I'm going to go for the third item.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Suriname
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- The third item. I like it. - An auctioneer talking.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Exactly, you can't get away from it, can you?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30The third country. Suriname is correct. Well done, very good start.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32That was tricky.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34And second question to you, Pat.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38The city of Chattanooga in Tennessee is situated near
0:08:38 > 0:08:39which mountain range?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Well, I think the Rockies are 1,000, 1,500 miles to the west.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's in the right sort of spot to be in the lower reaches,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56the southern reaches of the Appalachians, I think.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Stretching all the way from Maine down to Georgia.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So, I think I'll go for the Appalachians.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Appalachians is correct. OK, well.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Back to James.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Which German chancellor gave his name to a thin strip of land
0:09:08 > 0:09:11jutting out from the northeast corner of Namibia?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Must have been a colony or something.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23He was the great Chancellor Bismarck, wasn't he?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'm going to go for the obvious one, for Bismarck.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Bismarck.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- You're sunk.- Oh, no. - Well, on that question, anyway.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39No, it's not Bismarck, it is the Caprivi Strip.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42And it wasn't, it was South West Africa, they called it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45German South West Africa, Namibia, yeah, till 1919.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47OK, well.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Not sunk yet, but will be if Pat gets this.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Pat, the National Coal Mining Museum for England
0:09:54 > 0:09:56is based near which town?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Wakefield and Sheffield are Yorkshire,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Chesterfield is Derbyshire.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'm really not sure.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I think I'll go for Wakefield, but I'm not at all sure.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, Pat, it's like you've run into James's house
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and smashed up all his collectables, there.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19It's the right answer, Pat.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Which means you are into the final round.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24There we are.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Three, one, no point putting another one to you, James.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32As it stands, the Gavel Gang are two brains down for the final round.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The Eggheads are all there. See if we can get one of them out.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37On Arts & Books.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Our next category. Well, Thomas, Mark or David?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It has to be David.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- David, you did suggest that you wanted to go on that one.- OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Hoist by your own gavel.- Absolutely.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50David, choose an Egghead to play, remembering that Pat
0:10:50 > 0:10:52and Barry have played.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So you can choose from Chris, Judith or Kevin.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Kevin, please.- Kevin.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59David and Kevin, then, into the Question Room, please.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- David, would you like to go first or second?- I think I'll go first.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09All right, best of luck. First question, then.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11In Alice's Adventures In Wonderland,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14which character sits on top of a mushroom, smoking?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20It's one of my favourite books as a child.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And I remember going to see a Walt Disney film
0:11:22 > 0:11:26of Alice In Wonderland, although I haven't seen the most recent one.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30And I do remember the Caterpillar being rather high on his hookah pipe.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31I think it's the Caterpillar.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Caterpillar is right. Yes, well done.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And first question to Kevin.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Which novel by Charles Dickens
0:11:40 > 0:11:42features a former prisoner in the Bastille?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Well, A Tale Of Two Cities,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51which is set around the events of the French Revolution.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- So, A Tale Of Two Cities.- Yes, it is, A Tale Of Two Cities is correct.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56OK, so back to you, David.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Who wrote the novel The Little Stranger set in post-war England?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Dare I say, I have not heard of the novel
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and I haven't heard of any of the authors.
0:12:09 > 0:12:16This is an absolute guess. Let's go for Julie Myerson.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19OK, a guess on Julie Myerson for The Little Stranger.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23David, that's incorrect. Do you know, Kevin?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It's Sarah Waters. It's a sort of ghost story.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Sarah Waters. OK.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, let's see what you do with your second question.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Kevin. Tom Stoppard's play Rock 'N' Roll, which received its premiere
0:12:35 > 0:12:39in 2006, is set mainly in Cambridge and which other city?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I have actually seen this one. So, there we are.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It's about the influence of rock music for the Pol...
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Czech dissidents.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So, it's set in, largely, in Prague.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It is the right answer, Kevin.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Can't really disagree with that, having seen it.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And it means you need to get this, David.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Good luck.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Which British artist had the middle names Egerton Christmas?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Oh, dear.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12John Piper is one of my favourite artists,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14certainly, before the Second World War and afterwards and
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I live fairly close to Coventry, where there is the most marvellous
0:13:17 > 0:13:21window for the baptistery by John Piper. I don't think it's him.
0:13:22 > 0:13:29Eric Gill, marvellous artist, wood carvings, wood engravings.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I don't think it's him.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Cecil Beaton, I know very little about,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37apart from his wonderful offerings in cinema and photography.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Dare I go for Cecil Beaton? It follows on from Cecil, I think.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Dare I say Cecil Beaton?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Kevin?- I'm not sure, but I'd go for Eric Gill.- No, it is John Piper.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51The one you knew but, David, you didn't know his middle name?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- John Egerton Christmas Piper. - Oh, dear, oh, dear. Is that a draw?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That's a good idea.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02What a terribly good idea. We should alter the rules.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03We'll let the referees talk about that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07But, for the time being, it's actually a win for Kevin.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Which means, David,
0:14:09 > 0:14:10no place in the final round.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Wonderful as you would be to have there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, and then there would two.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Three members of the Gavel Gang gone.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22And Thomas and Mark remaining.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Let's keep you as a pair, shall we? Hopefully, in the next head-to-head.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27All the Eggheads are still there.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29This is our last head-to-head before the final round,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31trying to keep Mark and Thomas together.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34One of you has to play the Music round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Mark, you're Music.- I'm not.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think Mark says he's useless, so I'll have a stab.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Thomas.- I'll have a stab.- OK.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Well, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- You have got Judith or Chris.- I'll play Judith, if that's all right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Judith?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Well it has to be, doesn't it?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Let's have Thomas and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Thomas, do you want to go first or second?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I would like to go first, if that's all right?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It's Music and best of luck, Thomas. Here comes your first question.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15What name is given to musicals whose scores consist of
0:15:15 > 0:15:21previously released pop songs, often by a single group or artist?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I don't know. I'm going to have a complete guess.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32It's not something I'm really into, musicals. I'm going to say...
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Jukebox Musicals.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37It's the right answer. Well done. Jukebox Musicals.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- A guess.- Good guess.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Judith, in 2010,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Kimberly Wyatt announced her departure from which group?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54In 2010, Kimberly Wyatt announced her departure from which group?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I simply can't, it's always the Pussycat Dolls.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We've had so many questions with the Pussycat Dolls in the answer.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04It cannot be the Pussycat Dolls again.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, God. I have no idea.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm going to say Destiny's Child, with no conviction or knowledge.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- OK.- Purely guesswork.- It's the Pussycat Dolls.- I do not believe it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22- I do not believe it.- Of course it is, the Pussycat Dolls.- It can't be.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Yes, it is.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Kimberly. How could she leave those Pussycat Dolls?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30OK. Thomas.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Whose version of the song At Last
0:16:33 > 0:16:37was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Is it Nina Simone or is it Etta James?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I think it's Etta James, At Last.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Only because I was watching a version of another musical show
0:16:51 > 0:16:55and this boy comes on and sings, "I'm going to sing At Last by Etta James."
0:16:55 > 0:16:57So, I'm going to say Etta James.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00If you remember that, then it's Etta James, isn't it?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- It's the right answer.- Oh, yes!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well, that gives you the two-nil-lead
0:17:06 > 0:17:09and a place in the final round, if Judith doesn't get this.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Here you go.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12"Nkosi Sikelel i'Afrika", is the first line
0:17:12 > 0:17:16of the national anthem of which country?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, that I think I do know and it's South Africa.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It is, yes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Identified that quite easily.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You're still in it, Judith.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33But do exit if we get a correct answer, right here, from Thomas.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Which heavy metal musician was bass guitarist with Hawkwind
0:17:37 > 0:17:39for a few years in the 1970s?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Well, Ozzy Osborne, I know sings
0:17:46 > 0:17:50and I don't know if he plays the bass guitar.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I haven't heard of Lemmy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Now, Bruce Dickinson, he's a fencer like myself and he fences sabre.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And I don't know if he plays the bass guitar
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but, just because he's a fencer, I'm going to go with Bruce.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- So, Bruce Dickinson. - Not Bruce Dickinson.- Oh.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Judith, you of course know again. - Oh, it's Ozzy Osbourne.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Those thrashes round your place. Fantastic, aren't they?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- It's Lemmy.- It's Lemmy.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- You could see I don't know. - Motorhead, I think, isn't he?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Yeah, Lenny from motorhead. - Motorhead.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Judith, who wrote the music for the song Get Happy,
0:18:24 > 0:18:25popularised by Judy Garland?
0:18:29 > 0:18:34I can hear her singing it. I think it's Harold Arlen.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Is that your answer?- Yup. - It's correct. It is Harold Arlen.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Get Happy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You were so close to getting happy there, Thomas,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and making Mark very happy and the Gavel Gang.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48But still all to play for and, for the first time in the game,
0:18:48 > 0:18:49we go to Sudden Death.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- We make it a lot harder. Would you like that?- No.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Unfortunately, you don't have a choice.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58We take away the options after three questions each,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00if it's all square. And can you tell me this?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Which long-running musical was first performed
0:19:03 > 0:19:09to the public at the Palais des Sports in Paris in 1980?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Well, in Paris, I'm going to go for Les Mis-rables.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- It's the right answer!- Is it?- I don't care about the pronunciation.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Les Miserables. I call it Les Mis-rables
0:19:21 > 0:19:23because my wife loves it and I hate it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yes, Les Mis,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28whatever you want to call it. Judith.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Which much-recorded song begins,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34"Round like a circle in a spiral, Like a wheel within a wheel"?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39The something of my mind, the circles of my mind.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41The Circles Of My Mind.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Luckily, they've tangled up. It's The Windmills...
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Windmills Of My Mind. - ..Of Your Mind.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Thomas! You're through!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Glided through there. I've never seen such an easy win.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Well done, Thomas, you're through to the final round.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07And this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So, Anita, James, and David from the Gavel Gang.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18And, Judith, from the Eggheads.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Would you leave the studio, please.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, then, Thomas and Mark,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26you're playing to win the Gavel Gang £7,000.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32The Egghead's reputation.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The same from the head-to-heads, but this time,
0:20:38 > 0:20:39the questions are General Knowledge.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You are allowed to confer in the final round.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43So, Thomas and Mark,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And, Thomas and Mark, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Well, I'll make an executive decision that we're going to go first, Dermot.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58General Knowledge. Here's your first question.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02What name is given to someone who scavenges for usable debris
0:21:02 > 0:21:04at the edge of a river or harbour?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- I think I know this one.- OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Because I think that I saw a film once, an old film,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16something to do with Queen Victoria and a young Victorian bride.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Get on with it. - And I think they're called a mudlark.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I was going to say mudlark.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Because...- Of course you would. - I was going to say mudlark.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Yes, of course.- You say it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Mudlark.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yes, it's the right answer. Mudlarks.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I mean, they're licensed I know in London now, aren't they?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Scavenge round the Thames. - Yeah, Port of London Authority.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39OK, well, a good start there for the Gavel Gang.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44So, Eggheads, in which musical does the character Teen Angel appear?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Definitely not Mamma Mia. - No, I can't recall it in Grease.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Not in Grease, either.- I don't think so, it must be...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Well, it would fit...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Same reasoning. I haven't seen Jersey Boys.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01We know it's not Mamma Mia or Grease,
0:22:01 > 0:22:02so it's got to be Jersey Boys.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Yeah, it's got to be Jersey Boys, Dermot.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10It's not, it's Grease. Teen Angel is in Grease.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Is he?- Well, Eggheads, what a great start(!)
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- We knew that. - Yes, I should have asked you. Right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Concentrate, Grease is the word, victory is the word.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24If you give me two more correct answers,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27you have beaten the Eggheads. That is guaranteed.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, let's start with step one, this one.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34In Greek mythology, Daphne escaped the clutches of Apollo
0:22:34 > 0:22:37by being changed into what type of plant?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Well, I was hoping there was clue in the question.- I was hoping.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- But a plant, yeah. An oak tree is a tree, isn't it?- Yes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Laurel, they wear laurel.- Are they bushes?- Well, you associate....
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Is laurel a tree? So, holly then?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58My gut is laurel. Is your gut holly?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- No, my gut is going round in butterflies at the moment.- Is it?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm happy to go for laurel if that's what you think it is.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I don't think it's anything to be honest, I don't know.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I mean, the answer's there, in front of us.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14They're all looking as though they know over there.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Yeah, absolutely.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'm going to blame you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'm going to decide laurel because if I go for holly
0:23:20 > 0:23:21and it's wrong, you'll blame me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- No, I won't.- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.- We'll go from laurel.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26OK.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So, you were saying, "If I go for holly
0:23:28 > 0:23:30"and it's wrong he'll blame me." So, laurel instead.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32DERMOT LAUGHS
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- I thought you were going to go for holly.- I know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's too late,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's lit up, there's no return because you got the right answer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Oh!- Oh!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I knew it was Laurel.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, that's step one along the road to victory.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Eggheads, RIBA is the acronym for the organisation representing
0:23:52 > 0:23:54which group of professionals?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01RIBA is the acronym for the organisation representing
0:24:01 > 0:24:03which group of professionals?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07The Royal Institute of British Architects.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Being very careful there, to enunciate the architects
0:24:11 > 0:24:14after that first question slip. It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16But, time to cross your fingers, Eggheads.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And, Gavel Gang, for the money.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26In which sport was Pierre Etchebaster an undefeated world
0:24:26 > 0:24:33champion from 1928 to 1954, playing for the title on eight occasions?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Real tennis.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42All these sports here, billiards, real tennis, fencing,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45you can all play and fence,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47you can fence for years.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You're a fencer. Does it sound like a fencer?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It does cos he's French-sounding.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- But that may be a trick. - It might be a trick.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- I don't think it's billiards, do you? - I haven't got a clue.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Billiards, Real Tennis, I know zero about the other two sports
0:25:00 > 0:25:04apart from Real Tennis, I saw one of our colleagues playing it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Yeah, on the rooftop.- On the rooftop. - Could that be an omen?- Ah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Are the French good at billiards and pool?- I have no idea.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Are they good at Real Tennis? Real Tennis is a very British thing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's a very British thing.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20But then, very British, Billiards sounds very British.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I mean, Pierre, he does sound French.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- So, we go for Fencing?- Well...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm tempted to go for fencing, yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- But, then again...- Well, you have good with laurel last time.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Well, go on, Mark, I would go... - Fencing?- Yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35OK, Dermot,
0:25:35 > 0:25:41after our consultation, we're going to have a stab at it, at Fencing.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Thank you for that. Stab at fencing, for £7,000.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- It's not.- Oh!- No, incorrect.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Eggheads?- Real Tennis. - It is Real Tennis.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- You were so close to going for that. - Nearly went for that.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Well, you talked your way through all of them,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01but nil desperandum, the Eggheads need to get this.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03If they don't, you've still won,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06without answering another question. So, Eggheads.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10What is the name of Norway's longest and deepest fjord?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- I always thought it was Sognefjord. - That's what occurred to me.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yes, I've been down the Sognefjord and I'm pretty sure it's...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Think we were asked this in a European quiz championship once
0:26:24 > 0:26:25and it was Sognefjord.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yeah, I think it's Sognefjord.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Happy with that?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yeah, it's the Sogneford.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Fjord, rather, Dermot.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yeah, I know it which one you're talking about.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37The Sognefjord, to stay in it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Clinging on there.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Clawed their way back in.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47We go to Sudden Death. No more choices. So...
0:26:47 > 0:26:48In a 1946 essay,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53what name did George Orwell give to his perfect pub?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I don't know.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- George Orwell.- The George. - Yeah.- The George.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I mean, it sounds, I think, we really don't know.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07But we're going from his name, so we're going to say The George.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11OK, I see, The George, the name. We just wanted the name of a pub.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's not The George. No, that's incorrect. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- ALL: Moon Under Water. - Moon Under Water.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, well, a turnaround here. Cos the Eggheads now,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23for the first time, have a chance of winning the round.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26It's been heavy pounding for them
0:27:26 > 0:27:28after messing up their first question.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34Mario Armando Lavandeira Junior became famous for his popular blog,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35written under what name?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I think that Perez Hilton.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Yeah, as in P-ERE-Z?- Sounds about right.- That does ring a bell, yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- P-E-R-E-Z, Perez Hilton. - I'm sure he's a blogger, anyway.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Yeah, we'll go with Perez Hilton, Dermot.- Perez Hilton.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54How have you done it? Eggheads, it's correct, you've won!
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I think the Eggheads should have a whip round,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04you could certainly auction some of the antique stuff
