0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:29 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- How are you feeling, Eggs? - Brilliant.- Brilliant, they say.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And hoping to topple the Eggheads today are Provenonsense.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, everyone on this team will be familiar to you
0:00:43 > 0:00:46for the expert antiques knowledge they regularly display on TV -
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and at this point my producer wants me to say something
0:00:48 > 0:00:50about dusty old relics,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52while the director gets a shot of Chris and Kevin,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55but I have refused to say something as rude as that
0:00:55 > 0:00:59about two of our more senior Eggheads.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Did you get the shot? OK.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Move on. Let's meet the team.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Hi there. I'm David Harper.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I'm an antiques dealer and a presenter on BBC shows like Flog It,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Bargain Hunt, the Antiques Road Trip
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm also an artist.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18I paint very big, bright and bold pictures.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hello, my name is Raj Bisram.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm an antiques expert on television.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm passionate about antiques,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and I think, looking at this team,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I'm probably the nearest thing to an antique there is.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hello. I'm Caroline Hawley.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I've had a shop since the age of 20.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37I'm now an auctioneer and BBC TV expert working on Bargain Hunt,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Flog It and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And I love it all.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hello. Gary Pe is my name and antiques my game.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I'm one of the newest experts on Bargain Hunt,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51although by no means the youngest.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54In fact, I'm almost an antique myself.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Or, as my friends like to call me, a little bit of old tat.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Hiya, I'm Danny Sebastian.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm an antique dealer and I'm also an antique expert.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08You may well have seen me on programmes like BBC Bargain Hunt
0:02:08 > 0:02:10or Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- So David and team, hello. - Hello.- How wonderful to see you all.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17And we will get onto antiques - but, David, I'm just thinking,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19have you got some sort of quiz strategy here?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22No. Were we supposed to put together some sort of plan?!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Nobody mentioned that to me at all!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We've decided we are rubbish.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29What we do is blag it on our shows.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Whatever we think, we say,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35and I think that's possibly a really bad idea.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37You've got knowledge, David.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I always think antiques are, in a way,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42they're material history, object history, aren't they?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Yes. Well, history is probably the big one for all of us,
0:02:46 > 0:02:47but that's about it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Antiques and history, they are our two trick ponies.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52OK, I hope it ends well.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Good luck, team. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:55 > 0:02:57for our Challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02So, Provenonsense,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I can tell you the Eggheads won the last celebrity game.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So there is £2,000 for you to play for now.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Would you like to try?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Absolutely.- I can't wait for this.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, we're going to see what you're made of.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23You can take either Beth, Kevin, Chris, Dave or Lisa on.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I'm out on the Sport thing. - I know nothing!- I'm good at Sport.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28You're good at Sport.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Happy?- Yeah.- OK.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- We're going to go with Danny. - Danny, which Egghead would you like?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Danny, who looks non-sporting?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, it's not by the fact that he looks non-sporting,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40but I think I'll go with Chris.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, that's going to make him so cross.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Some things can't be mentioned.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Sport and Chris can't be mentioned in the same breath.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well done, Danny. You are going on Sport for Provenonsense.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Chris is being dragged into the Question Room.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Please, both of you go there now.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58You are up against Chris on Sport.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Danny, you can go first or second.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I'll go first, please.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And here we go. Good luck, Danny.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Which of these sportswomen was born first?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Denise Lewis has...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Has she retired?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21That puts her at a fair age.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Jessica Ennis-Hill?
0:04:23 > 0:04:29For some reason I'm getting steered towards Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Right, I am going to go with...
0:04:34 > 0:04:35..Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39OK. Katarina is still competing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Jessica Ennis-Hill retired. Denise Lewis is in the commentary box.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Denise Lewis is the answer.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47She was born first.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Don't you worry. Chris's question.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Who won the Formula One Drivers' World Championship in 2016?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I think it was a major upset
0:04:58 > 0:05:00that Lewis Hamilton didn't win it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I don't think it was Jenson Button either. So I'll say Nico Rosberg.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Nico Rosberg is correct.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well done. So he has got one.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10See if you can pull back now, Danny.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11At the Sydney Olympics,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Audley Harrison won a gold medal in which weight division?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Audley Harrison would have been super-heavyweight.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Super-heavyweight is the right answer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Well done.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK. Chris, it's your question.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32You're level. Which of these is a popular scoring system
0:05:32 > 0:05:33used in amateur golf?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Texas hold 'em is a form of poker.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I think it is the Stableford system, Jeremy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Stableford.- Let's see.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Eggheads? ALL:- Yes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Stableford is right.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I'm afraid he is getting them right at the moment, Danny.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It's a bit annoying with these Eggheads.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It does mean you need to get this one to stay in.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59The wicket keeper batsman Jos Buttler
0:05:59 > 0:06:02joined which county cricket team in 2014?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I think I'm going to have to take a wild guess at this one.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'm just not sure, to be honest.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I think they are all quite good cricket teams.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I think it's either Yorkshire...
0:06:16 > 0:06:20For some reason I'm being steered towards Yorkshire or Lancashire.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22I actually live in Lancashire,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25so if I say Yorkshire I don't think I'm ever going to live it down.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So I'm going to go with Lancashire.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28I'm glad you did. It's right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Two out of three for you.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Chris can take the round with this.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37The rugby union player Gavin Hastings
0:06:37 > 0:06:40typically played in which position for Scotland and the British
0:06:40 > 0:06:41and Irish Lions?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I never know these rugby positions.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Gavin Hastings, he was a bit of a big lad, wasn't he?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54He would have been a full-back, surely.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Let's see. Beth, do you know? - Yeah, he is a full-back.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Full-back is right, Chris. Oh, Danny, that is so annoying!
0:07:00 > 0:07:01I thought he was going to struggle with that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So you have been knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It can be quite swift, can't it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Chris, Sport, you are through to the final.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Look at that! Fighting talk. - He can't hear us.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16The stakes have just gone up a little bit here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Please come back, gentlemen. Rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK, so, a difficult start for Provenonsense.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26What is the antiques equivalent of what has happened?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- The door has fallen off?- Rubbish!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Just a loose hinge?- Yeah, yeah. Something like that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Needing a little restoration work, shall we say?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Little bit of French polishing and it will be fine.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37It always works wonders.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So you have lost a brain on this side.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The Eggheads all still there.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44They're looking a bit too smug, so let's take one of them down.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Who would like this?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Caroline, how are you on Film & TV?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Not brilliant, I don't think. Is anybody...?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Danny?!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Danny can't play every round. - Yeah, but Danny is doing so well.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03He has done better than any of us so far.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I think any of us really will be...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- I'm not good or bad. - I'm not good on film, really.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Raj? I think it's down to you, mate!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- What do you think, Film & TV? Any good?- Not really.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- What are you good at?- Geography.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'll do it! To save you boys arguing, I'll do it!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- No, I'll do it! I'll do it! - Sure?- Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26- Caroline.- Choose an Egghead.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That's the key thing, that's the first big decision.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30It can't be Chris.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, Film & TV.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I would like to choose Dave, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38All right. Known as Tremendous Knowledge.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Tremendous Knowledge!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So, Caroline from Provenonsense versus Dave from the Eggheads,
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Film & TV.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Please take your positions.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Caroline, you run your own auction business.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54We have one down our road and I always say to my wife,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I beg her to let me buy the suit of armour, every time,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59whenever one comes in. And she'll never let me do it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I want you to call my wife and tell her why she should let me buy it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03She just thinks it would look ridiculous
0:09:03 > 0:09:05standing in the middle of our bedroom.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's great! Why not? Why not?!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I can tell your team-mates think the same.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12No, no. Sounds good to me.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Film & TV, Caroline.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I would like to go first, please.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So here we go. I know it's not quite the subject you might have chosen,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27but let's see how you do. Your first question.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Davina McCall was the presenter of which TV series from 2000 to 2010?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Right. I don't watch lots of TV, I have to say.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44But I know it's not Top Gear.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45And it's not Pop Idol.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- It's Big Brother. - It is indeed Big Brother.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yes. How Davina made her name, really.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Dave, on to you. Who plays the title role in the zombie comedy film
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Shaun of the Dead?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I think that's Simon Pegg.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It is indeed Simon Pegg, yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07OK, back to you Caroline.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Mrs Pumphrey and her spoiled dog Tricki Woo
0:10:10 > 0:10:13were recurring characters in which TV drama series?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I don't think it is Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I'm going to go with All Creatures Great And Small.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Let me check with your team-mates. Team?- No doubt about it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30No doubt about it, they like that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32All Creatures Great And Small is right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Two out of two, well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Dave, which TV game show of the 1970s, '80s and '90s
0:10:39 > 0:10:42featured two teams of celebrities playing a game of charades?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50It is not a Game For a Laugh or Call My Bluff.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51The charades one was Give Us a Clue.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Give Us a Clue is right. Imagine someone pitching that now!
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Would that...?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59No. I don't think so.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's not going to threaten Bargain Hunt!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK. Caroline, might be a crucial moment.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Get this right and then you get some pressure on Dave,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and maybe his door falls off.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13That is the only antique analogy I've got, guys.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- It's a good one.- Thank you. The cupboard falls over.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Caroline, who plays the role of the wizard Grindelwald
0:11:21 > 0:11:24in the 2016 film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29I think...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32..maybe not Johnny Depp.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm going to go with...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- ..George Clooney.- Do your team know?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Let's see.- I would have guessed Johnny Depp.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- Oh!- It is Johnny Depp.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So, two out of three, just like Danny.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Let's see if it's enough to get you into Sudden Death.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Dave, you can take the round with this third question.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57In which TV drama series did David Morrissey play the role
0:11:57 > 0:12:00of a soldier named Sam Webster?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05It's not Line Of Duty.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It could be The Missing and it could be The Fall.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I might have to take this one, take the fall myself.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'll go for The Fall, please.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Oh. OK.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It's about a serial killer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Right, so it's The Missing.- Yeah, I think that's all I need to say,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- really.- Yes, it is. Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The answer is The Missing, Dave.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You go to Sudden Death with him, Caroline.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31A little bit of progress for your team here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So here it gets a bit harder - I don't give you options.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Old Ned was the theme tune to which long-running TV sitcom
0:12:38 > 0:12:40of the 1960s and '70s?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Do you know, I really don't know. Nothing's leaping out at me.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Rising Damp.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51No, it's Steptoe And Son.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Oh, no!- It's kind of right up your street.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- No, that is so bad. No. - Because, in a funny way,...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Of course it is.- And Steptoe and Son were not antiques dealers,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- but they were...- Rag and bone men. - Rag and bone men. Right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04So they were a few steps down.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Yeah, thanks.- Oh, I thought you'd go straight there.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Steptoe And Son. Never mind.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14OK, Dave, for the round, the celebrity agent Ari Gold,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19played by Jeremy Piven, is a character in which TV comedy series?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22I'm just having a think about what it's called.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I know the programme.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Entourage.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yes, it is Entourage, Dave, well done.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Sorry, Caroline, beaten by our Egghead, there.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36He's pretty good, old Dave.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And he's won the round and you've been knocked out.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, Caroline, Dave, please return and we will play on.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47OK, Provenonsense have now lost a second brain from the final round.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The Eggheads are all there, intact, shells on.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52The next subject for you is History.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Now this should be good, right?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- So...- Oh, now, you see, there's the pressure.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- The pressure's there. - You wanted History.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Yeah, thanks, Raj. You wanted History, as well.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- I don't mind. - There are three historians left.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- I don't mind doing it.- OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- David.- Yeah.- So, David, who would you like to take on?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Kevin, Beth and Lisa - who looks unhistorical?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Very good question. - Lacking in history knowledge.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15One of them's going to be deeply offended
0:14:15 > 0:14:16by this choice, aren't they?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I think... I know Lisa's done Celebrity Antiques Road Trip
0:14:20 > 0:14:23and, I think, Beth, you need to do a Celebrity Antiques Road Trip,
0:14:23 > 0:14:24so I'm going to choose you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Oh.- OK. That sounds like an invitation.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Yeah.- David from Provenonsense
0:14:29 > 0:14:32versus Beth from the Eggheads on History.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Please go to our Question Room now.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37So, History.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think History's good for an antiques expert, I really do.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It should be.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It should be. That's part of the problem, I know.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45David, do you want to go first or second against Beth?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I want to get it out of the way.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Jeremy, I want to go first, please.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Here we go, then.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56In his 1775 speech to the Virginia Convention,
0:14:56 > 0:15:02Patrick Henry famously said "give me liberty or give me" what?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08OK, 1775, so this is George III
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and we're talking about the American colonial civil war...
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Not civil war, the War of Independence here,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15aren't we, obviously?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Death, imprisonment, or war.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Give me liberty or give me...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23..war...
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- is my answer.- War is your answer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Let's see. Do you know, Challengers?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Death, I think it's death. - It is death.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Oh!- Give me liberty or give me death.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33And, Beth, your question.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Which of these historical figures was born first?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I hope that was Napoleon.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Napoleon is the right answer.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49David, in 44 BC, which man adopted Octavian,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52the future Roman emperor Augustus?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I think I'm better in the Georgian period, to be honest.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think we're going back too far here.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Surely one of the emperors, so Nero or Julius Caesar.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I think Julius Caesar is later, isn't he?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm going to go Nero.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Let's see from our Eggheads. Is he right?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- It's Julius Caesar.- Julius Caesar.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Julius Caesar is the answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Sorry, guys.- The 50-50 is...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Yeah.- ..getting to you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22All right, Beth, your question.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24You can take the round with this.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28The American criminal Charles Floyd, born in 1904,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30was best known by what nickname?
0:16:33 > 0:16:39They all sound like very Chicago-esque, mobster-type names.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I bet Chris is sitting there on his hands, rocking, going,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43"It's such and such."
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Charles Floyd.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52My first thought from those is Pretty Boy,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54so I'll go with that.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Pretty Boy. - Let's see if Chris does know.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Is it right?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Yeah, see, you mugs, it is Pretty Boy Floyd, yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- Pretty Boy Floyd is the right answer.- Yay!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Well done, Beth.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05You've won the round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08David, sorry, beaten by our Eggheads on History
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and therefore not in the final. Please return to us.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14One more round to play before the final.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- OK, bad luck there, David.- Oh, well. - It happens.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I know that Roman emperors are not covered in the world of antiques.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Provenonsense have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29The next subject is Geography.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Not me.- Raj, it's got to be you.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36He's been talking about geography all day.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Shires and counties.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40You're going to have to do it, aren't you?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Yeah. I'm going to have to do it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43And it's Kevin or Lisa.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Lisa, please.- Okey dokey.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So, Raj from Provenonsense is going to play Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, please go to the Question Room for the last round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57So, Raj, would you like to go first or second against Lisa?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Jeremy, I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05All right, good luck, Raj, against Lisa on Geography, and here we go.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Which of these oceans is the smallest by surface area?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, I'm pretty certain it's not the Pacific.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I'm going to go down the middle. I'm going to say Indian, Jeremy.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Do we like that, team?- We do, we do.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23We like it. Indian's right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Lisa, your question.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The Tay is the longest river in which country of the UK?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The Tay? T-A-Y?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- T-A-Y.- Just checking.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I think you'll find that in Scotland.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Scotland is right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Raj, in which part of the UK is the town of Harrogate?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Harrogate. Well, it's definitely not Scottish Borders
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and I've been to the West Country quite a lot
0:18:53 > 0:18:56just recently on Road Trips, so it's not the West Country.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57It's in North Yorkshire, Jeremy.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59North Yorkshire's correct.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01All right, so far a perfect round. Let's see, Lisa.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Adelaide is the capital of which Australian state?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It's the smirk on your face when you say the word Australia
0:19:12 > 0:19:13when you look at me, Jeremy.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I notice you did not even bat an eyelid when I raised
0:19:16 > 0:19:19your most problematic country.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Not even giving you the satisfaction any more.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23It's South Australia.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Oh, right, you've been brushing up, have you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Little bit.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28South Australia is quite right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31A year ago that might have floored Lisa, that question,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but she's been, obviously, spending time with maps.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38All right, Raj, this is where a couple of your colleagues
0:19:38 > 0:19:41have come unstuck, on this beastly third question.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Get this right, put Lisa under some pressure.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Which of these countries has the largest population?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, Australia's certainly the largest of them...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58..but probably not for population.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59I'm not sure about this one at all.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm going to say...
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Spain, Jeremy.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Don't say that. Japan!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08But I'm not sure about that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- We've got a slight paroxysm of agony going on in the team-mates.- Yeah.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Tell us why, team-mates.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14It's Japan.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yeah, Gary confirms Japan is the answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Lisa, here's your question, for the round.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Which country is often referred to as the Giant of Africa?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30OK, well, if we are assuming it's on size, it ain't Rwanda.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34If it is on size, I'd guess it would be Nigeria.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40No, I don't know. I think that's the only reasoning I can go on.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- We'll try Nigeria.- Nigeria.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well the reason is to do with population, but also economy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47The Giant of Africa is Nigeria,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49so, well done, Lisa, you've won that round.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Raj, sorry. Ah, what can I say?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Close.- Close!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Close, indeed. Beaten by our Eggheads and, if you come back,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00we're ready to play the final round.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Excellent. I think we're all in, aren't we(?)
0:21:02 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER
0:21:06 > 0:21:08So, all very exciting, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It is time for our final round
0:21:10 > 0:21:12which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:15 > 0:21:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21So, David, Raj, Caroline and Danny from Provenonsense,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Don't leave me!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Well, Gary, you are playing to win Provenonsense £2,000.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I know this was not quite the plan,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34for them all to end up in the sin bin.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36No, this is not what I wanted.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37You can do it, you can do it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Beth, Kevin, Chris, Dave, Lisa,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:41 > 0:21:42the Eggheads' reputation
0:21:42 > 0:21:46to withstand this celebrity onslaught you've been under today.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:21:48 > 0:21:50and this time they're all General Knowledge.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Usually I say, Gary, you can confer,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55but I know this doesn't really help here.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59The question is, can your one brain take down these five?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And then we can run the clip again and again on Bargain Hunt
0:22:02 > 0:22:05when it happens. Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'll be a rebel and go second, please.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13OK, so, the first question goes to the Eggheads.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Cryptozoology is the study of what?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Legendary creatures. - Legendary creatures?- Yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's legendary creatures.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yes, indeed, an example of that being the Eggheads.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Legendary creatures is correct.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- GARY:- Should have gone first! - Oh, yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's OK. Look, don't worry. Here we are.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We're still early days here in the final round.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Playing for £2,000.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Gary, in Greek mythology, who slayed the dragon Ladon?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46L-A-D-O-N.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Achilles. Achilles heel.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55No, there's nothing to do with that. I don't think so.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Paris I don't think has anything to do with that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I think it's Heracles.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I think it's Heracles, too.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Well done.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12OK, Eggheads.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Which member of the Royal Family had a famous romantic association
0:23:15 > 0:23:17with Group Captain Peter Townsend?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Margaret. Margaret. - Princess Margaret.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It was Princess Margaret.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28It was Princess Margaret, well done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK, Gary, your question.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Which comedian, who passed away in 1995,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38is often referred to as the father of modern satire?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44I would say it's Peter Cook.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You're playing confidently. You're quite right again.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Peter Cook is right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I think you've rattled them here with your decisiveness.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Eggheads, third question.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Which of these famous archaeological finds is located in Suffolk?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Sutton Hoo.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Yeah. Actually been there. Very interesting site.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13It's Sutton Hoo.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Sutton Hoo is right.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Not a hair out of place, so far.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Just get this right, Gary, and then they could fall into total shambles.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Here's your question.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Operation Eagle Claw was a failed mission by the US military
0:24:30 > 0:24:34in April 1980 to rescue hostages being held in which country?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It's not Russia...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and I don't think it's North Korea, either.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Who was President then, was that...?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I think it was Jimmy Carter.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50In which case, I do believe that that would be Iran.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54The answer's Iran.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57It was just before Reagan took over, and it was a real humiliation,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and it was Jimmy Carter, and it was Iran.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well done, Gary, three out of three.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, I'm feeling the tension now.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05You've pulled it back here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It gets a bit harder, as you know, Eggheads,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12you've been here so many times. I do not give you different choices.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Here is your question.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The arctic explorer, diplomat and scientist
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Fridtjof Nansen was born in which country?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Norwegian.- Norwegian, yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25He was born in Norway. Norwegian.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Norway's right.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Gary...
0:25:29 > 0:25:35Sussudio was a 1985 hit single for which UK singer?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Oh, no.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Phil Collins?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43You're right!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:25:47 > 0:25:48How brilliant.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- No!- Yes!
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Well done, you.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56All right, maybe this is going to happen. I'm feeling it now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Something in the air tonight!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Here we go. Watch the Eggheads crumble now.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07In the early 20th century, Daisy Greville, the Countess of Warwick,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10threatened to publish intimate letters revealing an affair
0:26:10 > 0:26:13between herself and which king when he was Prince of Wales?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's got to be Edward VII.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18THEY TALK OVER ONE ANOTHER
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yes, basically, yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- So, yeah.- OK? - I can't think of any others.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26The then-king in the early 20th century was Edward VII,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29who'd been Prince of Wales for a very long time indeed,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32so it would have been tricky for it to have been anybody else.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34So, Edward VII.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Edward VII is quite right.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Apparently their affair took place when he was Prince of Wales.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41OK, I'm afraid... I was hoping they'd stumble there,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- but they didn't. - Obviously I got that question.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45When there's all five of them, it's very hard.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47The brains are all working in sync.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Here's your question. Sudden Death - you've got to get this right.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55The 2012 novel A Week In Winter was the last to be written
0:26:55 > 0:26:56by which Irish author?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I don't even know any contemporary Irish authors, unfortunately, so...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08No. I'll need to pass. Nothing.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09- Sorry.- OK.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11A Week In Winter.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You've passed. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Maeve Binchy. - I'd have gone Binchy, yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Maeve Binchy.- Yes.- Oh.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Not even close.- Not even... OK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Well, there's some consolation in that.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23The answer is Maeve Binchy
0:27:23 > 0:27:26and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Well, there we are.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You're a quizzer, Gary, there's no question.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Definitely a quizzer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37That Phil Collins answer was miraculous.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Oh, dear. It was the only one from the 1980s that I could think of.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Yeah, but really well done. I'm sorry.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Maeve Binchy, if it's not there, it's not there.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45It's a bit obscure for me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But thank you so much for playing. Thanks, team, at the back.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Great to see you.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- What fun. I hope you enjoyed it. - Oh, absolutely. It was great.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57You've definitely done them proud, you really, really have.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Commiserations to our Challengers, our celebrities.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06You still reign supreme over even celebrity quiz land.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'm afraid it means you haven't won the £2,000
0:28:08 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Someone's going to win it, surely, at some point -
0:28:12 > 0:28:15but I wonder, Eggheads, you are in very good form.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Join us next time to see if a new team of celebrity Challengers
0:28:17 > 0:28:20have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22£3,000 says they don't.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Until then, goodbye.
