0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:30 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39And, challenging our legendary quiz Goliaths today are The Pantastics.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Now, some British institutions need no introduction whatsoever.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45You'll all know what I'm talking about
0:00:45 > 0:00:49when I say men dressing up as women and women dressing up as boys.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Of course, it's the Eggheads' Christmas party.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57No, of course not, it's the noble art of pantomime.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And, to tell us all about it and to hopefully do a bit of quizzing as well,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03are some of this country's finest panto exponents.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Let's meet them before someone says, "Oh, no, they're not."
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hello. I'm Joe and I'm playing Muddles in Sleeping Beauty
0:01:10 > 0:01:12at Cardiff New Theatre.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi. I'm Linda and I'm playing Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty
0:01:15 > 0:01:17at Darlington Civic Theatre.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hello there. I'm Sam and I'm playing Oddjob in Sleeping Beauty
0:01:21 > 0:01:23at the Darlington Civic Theatre.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hello. I'm Vicki and I'm playing the Sorceress
0:01:25 > 0:01:28in Beauty And The Beast at The Hexagon, Reading.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Hi. I'm John. I'm playing Abanazar
0:01:31 > 0:01:34in Aladdin at The Plaza, Stockport, Greater Manchester.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So welcome to you, Pantastics.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Well, Joe, team captain, how do you think playing Eggheads
0:01:40 > 0:01:43is going to compare to the rigours of being in pantomime?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46To be honest, I'm shocked that you just made me team captain.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Yeah, he didn't know!- It's because you're sitting there.- I didn't know.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51You are, you're promoted.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55My bottle's gone completely now. I've got to make decisions.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57But this is something completely...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00You know, what we're doing here, I have no idea.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03He picked the team, nothing to do with me, who he wants to be with.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Not the brains. There's one O level between us.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Well, I've got two. One in metalwork and one in biology, so I can weld a cat a cat. And that's it.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Welding a cat, I think we should have a round on that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16OK then. Well, let's play the quiz,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and let's see if you can take the money from the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Because every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28the prize money will roll over to the next show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, Pantastics, as this is the first of our celebrity specials,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35£1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And we will commence with our very first round.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42The first head-to-head battle is where you try to knock an Egghead out.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's going to be on the subject of Sport.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Choose someone who wants to play Sport.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I think it's got to be you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You know about sport, don't you? - I know what shape a ball is.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53That's close enough. It's more than I do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55No, well, I don't know anything about sport.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Go on, you do it. It's got to be Sam.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I have a limited knowledge of sport.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm getting sweaty palms just thinking about it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Get even sweatier as you choose a member of the Eggheads to try to knock out.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Any one of those fantastic five.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Well, I think I'd like to get sweaty with Judith.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Oi, oi!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I don't want to get sweaty with you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Well, I know Judith knows a lot about sport
0:03:18 > 0:03:22because she used to play in goal for Scunthorpe, so we'll have to pick Judith.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And he's got the missus sitting beside him.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26OK. Well, it's going to be Sam and Judith playing this first round.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's Sport and, to make sure you can't confer, both of you head to the Question Room, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Right, we are ready to play.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Sam, you're playing the Henchman
0:03:36 > 0:03:39in Sleeping Beauty, aren't you, this year?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Yes, I am. I'm basically Linda's whipping boy,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46so there's really no change there.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What, you mean the same role you play at home?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Exactly. And you know what? I quite like it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I can tell by the smile on your face.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55But you're directing it as well?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Yeah, I've been directing panto for the last ten years and it's...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, I say I direct. Linda tells me what I'm allowed to say to people
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and it kind of goes like that.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08OK, let's play the game. Sam, you are the challenger, you get to choose.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17OK, first on Sport and, Sam, here's the question.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20At the 1948 London Olympics,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23the main location for the athletics events was which venue? Is it...
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, only on the fact that it's probably the biggest
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and it's an Olympic event,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I would go for Wembley Stadium.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38OK. An Olympic event and yes, big,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42and, obviously, around there in 1948, the one before the last one.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's the right answer. Well done. Wembley Stadium. Well worked out.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Judith, your first question. It's football, you'll be glad to know.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Not fair.- Which Chelsea footballer scored with a header
0:04:54 > 0:04:57in the 2012 Champions League final? Is it...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's no good asking me things like that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Didier Drogba.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Didier Drogba, you're saying. Scoring with a header.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Is she right, other Eggheads?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Yes.- Yes, you are. Correct answer, Didier Drogba. Well done, Judith.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And on we go. Sam, second question.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Which Formula One team had their first victory since 2004,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25when they won the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix? Is it...
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Spanish Grand Prix.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I don't know a great deal about Formula One.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34There's a lot about it in the news.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So I'm, kind of, going to go towards Williams.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I think the British drivers drive for Williams, don't they?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Williams. So an eight-year gap, more or less.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's the right answer, Sam. Well done.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Brilliant stuff. You have two.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Judith, since the foundation of the National Hockey League in 1917,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57which North American ice hockey team
0:05:57 > 0:06:00has won the Stanley Cup on the most occasions? Is it...
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Well, Canadians must be very good at ice hockey.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I think I'm going to say Canadiens.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Canadiens, because they have more ice there?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Yeah, exactly. - That kind of reckoning.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20They grow up on it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Right. It's the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Good reasoning. Two each.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Good quizzing, both of you. Sam, third question.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32In 2011, which female golfer became the youngest player of either sex
0:06:32 > 0:06:35to win five major championships? Is it...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Again, golf, it's not one of my strongest subjects.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48But the most famous name that I can see there is Michelle Wie.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49That's a name I've heard a lot.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I watch a lot of Sky Sports, don't take a great deal in,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54but I'm going to go with Michelle Wie.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK. Although I've got the answer here,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I think I would have gone with that. It's not right. It's incorrect, Sam.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Judith, I'll offer it to you. - Is it Yani Tseng?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It is, it is Yani Tseng. Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, maybe not over yet, Sam,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10because Judith has to get this right if she is to knock you out.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Judith, which leading rugby league team
0:07:13 > 0:07:15has traditionally played home games
0:07:15 > 0:07:19in cherry and white hooped jerseys? Is it...
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Well, I don't watch a lot of that either. What about Leeds Rhinos?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Wigan Warriors, Judith,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34is what we wanted, Wigan Warriors. So all square.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Two each. Takes us instantly to Sudden Death then, Sam.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42And that means we remove those choices. So here you go.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46How many players are on court for an indoor volleyball team?
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Oh, I'm going to hazard a guess. I would say seven.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Ah! It's just out.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Just missed the line.- Eight? - No, it's six.- Oh, is it?- Six.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Unlucky.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Six players on an indoor volleyball team on court at any one time.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So a chance for Judith.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08The leading tennis player Mardy Fish
0:08:08 > 0:08:10was born in which country?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think he's American.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I read the other day he's a great friend of Andy Roddick's.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20We will accept... The United States is the right answer, Judith.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Oh, golly. Hooray!- Bad luck, Sam. There you were leading 2-1,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Judith drew it back to 2-2 and has taken it in Sudden Death,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30which means you won't be in the final round.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Please come back and join your teams.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well, very bad luck there for Sam
0:08:36 > 0:08:40means that the Pantastics have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The Eggheads all still standing. But only one round gone.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Let's play our next subject today. This one is Film and Television.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Well, well, well.- Ooh.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It could be a fight to play this one. Who wants to take it on?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm no good at anything else.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Do you want to take it?- I'm no good at that either.- You do it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59All right. I'm going to take this one.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, Linda. And choose an Egghead.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It can't be Judith, so it's one of the boys.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06They're all so clever but I think I'm going to go with the new boy, Dave.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Take Dave into the Question Room with you then, Linda.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Be gentle with him.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Off you go then, both of you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Linda, as you know, you get to choose.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Do you want to start or let Dave begin?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I think I'll go first.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Best of luck to you, Linda. Here's your first question, then.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Which television programme
0:09:27 > 0:09:29regularly ended with the presenter telling viewers,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32"Don't have nightmares. Do sleep well"? Is it...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I don't think it's Breakfast Time,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40cos you wouldn't be telling people to sleep well.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I don't think it's Watchdog. Yeah, I'll go with Crimewatch.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Crimewatch is the right answer. Well done, Linda.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53All right. Dave, first question to you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55The 2012 film Mirror Mirror,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58starring Julia Roberts, is a version of which fairy tale? Is it...
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Don't think it's Beauty And The Beast. I'll rule that out.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Yeah, I think Mirror Mirror is Snow White.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I bet all our challengers know this one, probably.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- We do.- Yes, we do.- Oh, yes we do.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Probably been in it a few times. It is the right answer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well done, Dave. One all. Linda, second question.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Which actor's 1980s film roles included
0:10:29 > 0:10:32an air conditioning specialist in Brazil,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35a bounty hunter in Midnight Run
0:10:35 > 0:10:37and a slave trader in The Mission? Is it...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Sam's probably shouting the answer out down there
0:10:43 > 0:10:45cos he'll know.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- He is.- Oh!- No pressure. - Oh, Midnight Run.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Oh, I'm going to go with De Niro. It's probably wrong, but...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58This is like Mr and Mrs. You know each other so well.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59It's the right answer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Oh! Thank you, Sam. Telepathic you see.- You're welcome.- Exactly.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04- You can pay me back in kind.- Right.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Second question coming your way, Dave.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Losing contestants in which TV series
0:11:09 > 0:11:12are often sent to the Bridge Cafe?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23The Voice UK, I don't think so. They tend to just go.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25But losing contestants, it's normally the treat
0:11:25 > 0:11:29given to people on The Apprentice.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32They have a nice time out and then the others go in a cafe
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and disseminate what went wrong. It's The Apprentice.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yeah, The Apprentice. Where they mull over their bacon sarnies
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- before they're called back in to see Lord Sugar.- Yep.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42There we are, all square. Both going really well.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Great answer from Linda last time round,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46managing to get Robert De Niro.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Get this and the pressure's all on Dave.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Which musician wrote and directed the 2012 film,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Ill Manners? Is it...
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, this'll be a complete guess
0:11:59 > 0:12:01but I know Plan B does a lot of movies
0:12:01 > 0:12:05and is involved in movie title music and stuff,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10so I don't know whether the others have, but I'll go with Plan B.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Plan B. And you've got the right answer.- Hey!- Well done.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Well, you've already got bragging rights I think at home there.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21You've got three out of three.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Will it put Dave out, though? Here you go.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Who directed the 1966 BBC television version of Alice In Wonderland,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31which starred Peter Cook as the Mad Hatter
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and Peter Sellers as the King Of Hearts? Is it...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I think Linda's going through here. I do not know.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44But I'm going to just have to have an educated guess.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Could be any of them.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's go down the middle. Peter Hall.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Other Eggheads, is he right? - Jonathan Miller.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- It's Jonathan Miller.- Brilliant.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Your prediction was right, Dave. Look at Linda there,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58triumphant in the Question Room.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00A deserved victory there, it must be said.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm sure Dave will give you that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Fantastic. You're in the final round, Linda.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, that's levelled it all up.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17And we move on to Round Three and this one is Food & Drink.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Three challengers left. Vicki wants to play it.- I want to do that.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Is there going to be competition? - Now I don't know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I know nothing about food. You have a bash.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- OK, I'll have a bash. - OK.- Go on, Vicki.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Just to remind you, you've got Kevin, Pat or Barry.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Barry...cos he's cute. - Ah, thank you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Barry cos he's cute? Does that mean you're going to throw the round then, Barry?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'll seriously think about it now!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46OK, Vicki and Barry, into the Question Room both of you, please.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52OK, we're ready to go. So, Vicki, the enchantress.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Tailor-made for you. - Thank you, Dermot.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I'm looking forward to it. I haven't done Beauty And The Beast for a while.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But you've done a lot of panto. Do you enjoy it?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06I love it. I absolutely love it. And I play mostly baddies now.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10The wicked queen in Snow White, or Carabosse that Linda's doing.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14And it's just that the kids really hate you
0:14:14 > 0:14:18and it's just fantastic working them to really hate you more.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The thing is, when I first did it,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I used to get upset. But now, when I come down, they boo you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27You never get a cheer, it's "Boo!" and I absolutely love it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31The Eggheads know all about that every day when they leave the studio.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- People outside throwing rotten tomatoes at them.- Too many boos.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38All right. Let's see if you can get rid of Barry here.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Follow in the footsteps of Linda.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And, Vicki, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I think I'll go first, Dermot.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51And off we go. Vicki, first question.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54What name is often given to a type of cutlery
0:14:54 > 0:14:58that has a shallow scoop as well as prongs or tines? Is it...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Right, well, I've never heard of these, I don't think.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08But knork sounds funny.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Splife? Well, it sounds like spork.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Spork.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think I'll go for a spoon and a fork, a spork.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19A spoon and a fork is a spork.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- It's the right answer. Well worked out.- Thank you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Barry, first question for you. Which of these is a key ingredient
0:15:27 > 0:15:30in the Spanish dish, paella? Is it...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well, I've always been partial to a nice paella,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and I don't recall bread or potatoes in it,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39but it's a rice-based dish, so the answer is rice.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It would be interesting with any of the other two.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Right answer. Well done, Barry, on rice.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48And straight back to Vicki. In the Second World War,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52most UK cheese production was diverted to a single type of cheese
0:15:52 > 0:15:54known by what nickname? Is it...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01State Wensleydale. I have no idea.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Official Stilton and Government Cheddar.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I think I'll go for Government Cheddar.- Government Cheddar.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13That's where our continuing love of it comes from.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- It's the right answer, yes. Government Cheddar.- Fabulous.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Well done there, Vicki. You have two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Second question for you, Barry. A dip of what is typically served
0:16:23 > 0:16:27with the Spanish speciality churros? Is it...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'm certainly not sure on this one
0:16:32 > 0:16:35but I think that is served with chocolate.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38You have got chocolate, which is correct.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well done. Good choice.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Vicki, the Gala apple, a cross between a Golden Delicious
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and a Kidd's Orange Red was developed in which country?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm going between USA and Australia here. Gala.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- I'll go for USA.- USA and Australia.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Between those two, it was always going to be wrong because it is...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- New Zealand? No!- New Zealand, I'm afraid. Sorry, Vicki.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well, a chance for Barry to take it for the Eggheads.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Which name is given to a traditional British dessert
0:17:11 > 0:17:14made from shortcrust pastry, jam, custard,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16and topped with desiccated coconut? Is it...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, one of my favourite programmes on television
0:17:23 > 0:17:25is The Great British Bake Off.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29And, fortunately, in the last episode that I remember seeing,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31they discussed the history of Manchester tart,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and it was made with those ingredients,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35so my answer is Manchester tart.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41Oh. dear me. I'm not even going to prolong the agony. Bad luck, Vicki.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- He's been watching it and it's there.- Barry.- Yes, Barry!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- And I thought you were cute, Barry.- How can you?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- All your illusions shattered there about Barry.- I know.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Manchester tart. You're not going to be in the final round, Vicki.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Well, the Pantastics have now lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Could be all square going into the final round after this, our last head-to-head.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09And this subject is Arts & Books.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11We've got Joe or John there, ready to play it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Which one is it going to be?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- It's up to you, mate. - I'll go for it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- You want to go for it? - I'll go for it.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Unless you really want to go for it? - No. I'm happy to have a bash,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22but if you want to, you have a go.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- OK, I'll have a bash. - You go and have a bash.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25All right. John, stay with us,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27because you have to choose your Egghead.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- And it's got to be Kevin or Pat. - I'm going to go for Pat.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Let's have you in the Question Room, please. It's John and Pat.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40OK, let's play the round. And, John, you get to choose.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's Arts & Books, as you know. Do you want to go first or second?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Yeah, I'll go first.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Let's test your literature side first off then, John.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Which novel by George Eliot ends with a tragic flood? Is it...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, Wuthering Heights, way up there on the moors.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Mansfield Park.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Don't recall there being a flood.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I'm going to go for Mill On The Floss.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13A bit of a giveaway, isn't it? The mill bit.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Don't know if Mansfield Park was on a flood plain,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18but Wuthering Heights, the moors. Mill On The Floss
0:19:18 > 0:19:20by George Eliot is correct.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22All right, Pat, first question.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Which artist made a hat shaped like a shoe for the designer,
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Elsa Schiaparelli? Is it...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36A hat shaped like a shoe sounds slightly surreal,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39and that would play right down Salvador Dali's...hands,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42so I think it's probably Salvador Dali.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45OK, Salvador Dali is the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48And back to John.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50In Michael Ondaatje's novel,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54what is the actual nationality of the man known as the English Patient? Is he...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59A tricky one.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm going to go...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06..for Swiss.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's not, John. Do you know, Pat?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I think his first name is Laszlo,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13which is a classic Hungarian forename.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It is the right answer. Yes, it's Hungarian. But it was for John,
0:20:17 > 0:20:22so that means not a tick there. So can Pat take the lead?
0:20:22 > 0:20:27In Gavin Turk's work, Pop, the artist represents himself
0:20:27 > 0:20:29as which punk musician?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Pop.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I don't know. I can't read too much into the title.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Pop would suggest Captain Sensible,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Punk suggests Sid Vicious, so I'll go with Sid Vicious.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46You've got it. It is correct. Sid Vicious there.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49OK, well, bad luck for John.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- It means you must get this one, John.- Right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55The critic Rufus Wilmot Griswold
0:20:55 > 0:20:58was involved in a famous feud with which author,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01continuing to malign him after his death?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I think...
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I'm not aware of Irving's work,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I don't think it would be Henry James,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16so I'm going to go for Poe.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19OK, Poe from John
0:21:19 > 0:21:21is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25If not for that slip-up with number two,
0:21:25 > 0:21:26would be in a very strong position,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29but it does mean that Pat has the upper hand here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Pat, which French actor and playwright
0:21:31 > 0:21:33wrote the 17th-century comedy known in English
0:21:33 > 0:21:36as The Bourgeois Gentleman? Is it...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I don't think it's a Moliere play.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Racine's plays, lots of them have classic Greek sort of titles.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50So, without a great deal of confidence, I'll go for Corneille.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Corneille, The Bourgeois Gentleman in English.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's Moliere. It's the wrong answer,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00which means it's all square and we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Let off for you there, John.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05That English Patient would have put you through. Let's see if this one does.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07As you know, having watched Sam there,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11you don't get choices in Sudden Death. Here you are.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Donna Leon's series of detective stories
0:22:14 > 0:22:16featuring Commissario Brunetti
0:22:16 > 0:22:19are chiefly set in which Italian city?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21A city came into my mind...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25..and I'm just going to go for that.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26And it's Milan.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Milan for the Italian city with Commissario Brunetti.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Is it, Pat? Do you think it's that?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I have a feeling it's Sicily, so it might be Palermo.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37OK, you're both incorrect, I can tell you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40It's not right, John. It's not Milan,
0:22:40 > 0:22:41not Palermo either. Eggheads?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Venice.- It's Venice. Commissario Brunetti.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Those novels are set in Venice.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51And a chance again for Pat, then.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55The 2012 book, Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57is a sequel to which award-winning novel?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I think the novel was Wolf Hall.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Centring on the life of? - Is it Cromwell? Thomas Cromwell?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Thomas Cromwell. We didn't need that. All we needed was Wolf Hall, which is correct, Pat.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Which means you are in the final round. Bad luck, John.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Nearly made it, but not to be.- OK.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Please come back and join your teams.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It is time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:26 > 0:23:27won't play in this round.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30So, Sam, Vicki and John from the Pantastics
0:23:30 > 0:23:32and Dave from the Eggheads,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:23:35 > 0:23:40So, Joe and Linda, you're playing to win the Pantastics £1,000.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:23:42 > 0:23:46which money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50The questions are all general knowledge
0:23:50 > 0:23:53and the big difference is you're allowed to confer in this final round.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55So, Pantastics, the question is,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four brains?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Joe and Linda, important choice perhaps,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02do you want to go first or second?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I think we'll go second, just to be different.- Yeah?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Yeah.- We'll be different and go second this time.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Your wish is my command(!)
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Here we go then, Eggheads kicking off.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18First question coming your way.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Which designer created the wedding dress for Catherine,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Duchess of Cambridge? Is it...
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Sarah Burton?- Sarah Burton. - Yeah.- That was Sarah Burton.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Sarah Burton is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Eggheads have one there.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38First question then coming to you, Pantastics.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Good luck with it, Joe and Linda.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Which act won the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest? Is it...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Did you watch it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54No, but I'm sure I've heard the winning song.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I can't remember.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Do you know who sang it? - Was it a girl or a fella?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- It's either male or female. - That's right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, I would go for...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- I think it was the girl. - I would go for Loreen.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Loreen.- Loreen? We'll go Loreen.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08- We'll go for Loreen.- Loreen...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- ..is the right answer. - Yeah!- Yes! Well done, love.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's shaping up to be a good round.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Second question each. Eggheads.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19What name is given to the symbol over the letter N
0:25:19 > 0:25:22in the Spanish word "senor"? Is it...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27What name is given to the symbol over the letter N
0:25:27 > 0:25:29in the Spanish word "senor"?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It's called a tilde.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It is the right answer, yes. Eggheads have two.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Back to the Pantastics then.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The dance craze called the black bottom
0:25:40 > 0:25:43is most associated with which decade? Is it...
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I would go for '40s.- '20s.- See.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53What do you want to do, '40s or '20s then?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I've never heard of it, so...
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I think you're right. '20s might be too early.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01No, I was going to go for your one, go for the '20s!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I don't know, it might be too early, the '20s, but...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- No, I'm going to go '20s. - I want to go '40s now!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh no, don't change. You're such a woman.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Do you want to go back then?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18OK, go '20s. But I think it's the '40s.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's going to be a little wiggly bum thing, right?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Is the '20s too early though?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, not really, I don't think. They was doing a lot of stuff.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You've got the charleston in that time period.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Go '20s then.- We're going to going to go 1920s, Dermot.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You should have seen the rest of your team doing it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- What do you think it is now?- '20s.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- It is, you've got the '20s. It's the right answer!- Yes!- Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45You nearly changed. You were crossing over.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Backwards and forwards. - We convinced each other.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So, Eggheads. Things I Couldn't Tell My Mother
0:26:50 > 0:26:53is the title of the autobiography of which actress? Is it...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I've got a feeling it's Sue Johnston.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01I've got no idea.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Relatively recently, they've all had things out.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- But that does... - That does ring a bell.- Yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11We're not certain about this, but a couple of us have got an inkling
0:27:11 > 0:27:14that it might be Sue Johnston. So Sue Johnston.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18An inkling for Sue Johnston, Things I Couldn't Tell My Mother,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20it's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24OK. Right, here we go.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The word inspissation
0:27:26 > 0:27:29refers to the physical process of becoming what?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32It is spelt
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I-N-S-P-I-S-S-A-T-I-O-N.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Inspissation.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- The "in" thing's making me think thinner.- I was going to...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44My instinct was go thinner.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- But it could be longer. - It could be thicker and longer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Inspissation.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I would go for... Initial instinct was thinner
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and we both thought thinner.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55OK, we'll go thinner, cos we haven't got a clue.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We're going to go for thinner.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59OK, they haven't got a clue.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- It is wrong, it's thicker.- Oh, well.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Well, listen, never mind.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It is thicker, which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Didn't work, first instinct or second instinct.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- If we'd argued longer, we might have got it.- Do you think so?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Had a fight? That would have been good.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Pantastics, thank you all very much indeed.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Best of luck with all the pantos this year
0:28:23 > 0:28:26and in the years to come. It's been fantastic having you here.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and they still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm afraid you haven't won the £1,000,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Who will beat you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Do join us next time to see if a team of British theatrical greats
0:28:43 > 0:28:45have the brains to defeat our Eggheads.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Until then, goodbye.
