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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Is that a good build-up for you, Eggs?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- It's excellent.- You like that.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Having designs on taking down our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Now, Everyone on this team will be familiar to you
0:00:46 > 0:00:48for the creative expertise they bring to some of
0:00:48 > 0:00:51the most popular lifestyle programmes on TV.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53So, let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Tom Dyckhoff,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm an architecture and design historian and broadcaster,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59and presenter of The Great Interior Design Challenge.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Piers Taylor, I'm an architect,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and I present The House That £100k Built,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and The World's Most Extraordinary Homes.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hello. I'm Esme Young,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I've been involved in making clothes my whole life,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16from designing, cutting, making, teaching,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and now I'm a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hello, my name's Danny Clarke.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I present a series called The Instant Gardener,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28which shows us how we can have a nice garden
0:01:28 > 0:01:30without it breaking the bank.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Hello, I'm Keith Brymer Jones. I'm a potter and a designer,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38and I'm also a judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- So, Tom and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Welcome, great to see you. And I should start, Tom,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45by just asking about the team name here, Seamingly Clueless,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I notice the spelling of that.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Yes, a little witty aside there in honour of Esme,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and the fact that we're trying to be a little bit
0:01:53 > 0:01:54self-deprecating as well.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Hopes are not high. What do you say?
0:01:56 > 0:02:01- Hopes are pretty low, actually. - Hopes are pretty low.- Don't worry!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03The Eggheads can have their clueless moments, so do not worry.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07They're not by any means faultless, are you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Not at all.- They do slip up. Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:13 > 0:02:17for your chosen charity. If you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20we just roll the prize-money to the next show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Now, we've had some celeb teams in already,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and they've all come a cropper, OK?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- No pressure, then. - Eight of them in a row.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, I think that's good for you. It means that no-one's won before,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and the jackpot for you to win is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:35- Wow.- OK.- OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So, eight teams have failed, you're the ninth, good luck.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Shall we start?- Yeah, go on, then.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Focus, team. - Bring it on!- Shall we hold hands?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We can do it!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47You can do it! Come on!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We've got a lot of talent on this desk.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And it's one of you you've got to choose,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58against either here, Judith, who famously won £1 million,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Kevin, Steve, Dave, Lisa.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I'm happy to do Music.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Are you Music?- OK. - You want to do Music?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Yeah. - I'll do sport, if it comes up.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- I'm good at music.- Go, Piers, go!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- But against who?- I think Judith.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Judith? Yeah. - Bold!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And I know you did Bob Dylan as your specialist subject
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- on Celebrity Mastermind.- I did. - OK, Piers from Seamingly Clueless,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23our first celeb in going against our own Judith from the Eggheads.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27would you please now take your positions
0:03:27 > 0:03:29in our famous question room?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, your thing is architecture, Piers, I know,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34but we don't have an architecture round.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36That's a pity. So I'm going to have to settle for Music.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Well, I know you love Bob Dylan especially.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42That's right, yeah. Bob Dylan is a big hero, but I do have my gaps,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I'm telling you.- OK, well, let's hope we avoid them.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Would you like to go first or second against our Egghead?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I would like to go first, actually.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57So, playing music against Judith, Piers, your first question.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Roxie Hart is a character in which musical of stage and screen?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Gosh, I haven't got a clue, but I'm going to have to guess here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, I suspect it isn't The Sound of Music.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15It sounds like it could be an American name,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17so I'm going to go for Chicago.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Absolutely right, well done.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Yes!- Thank goodness for that. - Phew!- Well done, Piers.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Judith, yours.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28When Jason Orange left Take That in 2014,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31how many members of the original group remained?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, deary me.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Take That. I think three remained.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're absolutely right, Judith, well done.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Three.- Phew!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Phew! Piers, your question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51If Every Day Was Christmas is a 2016 single by which celebrity child?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Gosh, again I haven't got a clue, and I haven't heard the song.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Is it music?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I'm going to have to...
0:05:06 > 0:05:10..guess again, and I think
0:05:10 > 0:05:13it is Cruz Beckham.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You're right, Cruz Beckham it is.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Phew.- I can see how competitive you are.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Judith, to catch up.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Which US singer had posthumous UK number one albums with Songbird,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Imagine and American Tune?
0:05:34 > 0:05:41I don't know, but I'm going to guess at Karen Carpenter.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, I know why you did that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Eva Cassidy is the answer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Ooh, a bit of a glitch.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So, Piers, you can take the round with this question.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Don't let her back in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55First performed in New York in 1954,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59The Tender Land was a major operatic work by which composer?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Gosh. Again, I don't think it's avant-garde enough for John Cage,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10who I know is an avant-garde composer.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I think it isn't Aaron Copland, so I'm going to go
0:06:14 > 0:06:16for Leonard Bernstein.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yeah, I could see the logic of not going Cage,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20but are you right on Copland/Bernstein?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Eggheads, do you know? - I would have gone the same as
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- Piers.- You like Bernstein.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- What about you, Judith?- Well, I'm going to say Aaron Copland,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30cos I just hope that's what it is.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Aaron Copland is right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Aaron Copland is the answer, so Judith has a chance to come back.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Judith, get this wrong, you're out.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43In 2015, which American hip-hop group sold the only copy
0:06:43 > 0:06:47in existence of their album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin
0:06:47 > 0:06:50for a reported £1.3 million?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I have absolutely no idea.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I'm going to go Arrested Development.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The answer is Wu-Tang Clan.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I so nearly went for that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You so nearly got it right, but you're knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Oh.- First blood to our Challengers.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- This is good, guys. - Yes!- Well done, Piers.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Phew! By the skin of my teeth!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You've emerged triumphant against Judith.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20You will be in the final round.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Please rejoin your team-mates, and we'll play on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26As it stands, Seamingly Clueless have not lost any brains.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Well played, Piers.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That was good, that's a good start for you, Challengers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The Eggheads have had a brain knocked out,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and the next subject is Sport.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Who wants Sport? - There's only one person!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's Danny, right?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Do you mind, Danny? - No, I don't mind.- Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46OK. Our brilliant gardener, against which Egghead?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47It can't be Judith, Danny.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50So, you can have Lisa, Dave, Steve or Kevin, left to right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I think I'll go for Lisa.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, Danny from Seamingly Clueless is playing Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58They're starting at the ends and moving to the middle.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59This is exciting.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well, I'm sorry we haven't got a garden for you
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- to work on here, Danny. - Oh, that's a shame, Jeremy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I feel bad about turning to sport,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12but I've got to mention, you're actually
0:08:12 > 0:08:14a sportsperson really, aren't you?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Yes, I am. I used to play a little bit of sport.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And you've been on the books of Charlton Athletic?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- A long, long time ago. - And Borussia Monchengladbach?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany, yes.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, I think we've got you on the right round here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I really do, Danny.- OK. - So, good luck on sport.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You're playing Lisa. Danny, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I'll go second.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Here's your first question, Lisa.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Which word is used instead of match to refer to
0:08:40 > 0:08:44each of the five tennis contests that make up a Davis Cup tie
0:08:44 > 0:08:45between two countries?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51That's a rubber.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52It is a rubber.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Danny, on to you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The Rugby Union centre Jean de Villiers has played
0:08:56 > 0:08:59over 100 times for which country?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, I'm not really a rugby person, Jeremy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11And I reckon the clue has got to be in the name.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Sounds like a South African name, so I'll go with that one.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You're absolutely right, South Africa.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Whoa!- South Africa. Yeah!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20OK, Lisa.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Which athlete broke the indoor
0:09:21 > 0:09:26and outdoor pole vault world records 35 times during his career?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34So, Carl Lewis was a sprinter,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and I don't think ever went near a pole vault pole in his life.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42It was part of Sebrle's discipline, because he was a decathlete,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44world record-breaking decathlete.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46But the one we want here is Sergei Bubka.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Well done you, Sergei Bubka is quite right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:5135 times.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They're quite good, Danny, aren't they?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- They are, yeah, very good. - They know stuff.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58OK, your question, Danny.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02The footballer Thibaut Courtois typically plays in which position?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well, I know this one.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Goalkeeper.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Yeah, he is.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Goalkeeper is correct.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So, two each and, Lisa, your question, your third question.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21In which city did the British swimmer Anita Lonsbrough
0:10:21 > 0:10:23win an Olympic gold medal?
0:10:27 > 0:10:33OK. Now, when Becky Adlington won her gold medals,
0:10:33 > 0:10:39it was the first time that a British woman had done it since Lonsbrough.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43And I think it was in the '60s, which would make it Rome,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46but I'll just have a little think about that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Erm, no, I don't think you've got to go back as far as '48 for it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think it's Rome.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53You're absolutely right, Rome it is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Three out of three, Lisa, on Sport.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59OK, to stay in, Danny, you've got to get this right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Which cricketer scored a century on his Test match debut for England
0:11:04 > 0:11:07against India in December 2016?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17That's a question and a half.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Keaton Jennings certainly did.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You know what, I'm going to go for Keaton Jennings.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Keaton Jennings is the right answer.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Oh, it is?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Whoo!- Whoa!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I know you were on the edge, there.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You're playing well, you've got three out of three,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Lisa's got three out of three. We go now to Sudden Death.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It gets a bit harder - I don't give you different options.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Lisa, your question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43What is the first name of the American high jumper
0:11:43 > 0:11:47after whom the Fosbury flop technique was named?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Erm, I think he was Dick Fosbury.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Dick Fosbury is quite right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So, Danny, you need to get this one.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56In 2016,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00which English man became golf's first Olympic champion since 1904?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, it wasn't Rory McIlroy, because he didn't go.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Look, I'm going to take a punt on this one.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Darren Clarke.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Darren Clarke is your answer. Lisa?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Justin Rose.- Justin Rose is the answer.- Ah, Justin Rose!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18So sorry, Danny, you've been knocked out by our Egghead there,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20which levels things up.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Please return to your teams and we'll play on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27All right, you've lost a brain, Seamingly Clueless,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29the Eggheads have lost one, too.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32We're in a perfect situation for a great contest here,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and your next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Who would like this?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Go for it, mate.- Probably me.- Yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Me, I think.- OK.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42It's going to be Tom Dyckhoff,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45architecture critic, against which Egghead?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Dave, Steve, Kevin.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I like a bit of symmetry, so who are we going to knock out?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I think Dave.- All right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I thought symmetry would mean taking out Steve in the middle.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I know, I know, but one by one, one by one,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- then we'll get the middle one. - I see the logic.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Tom from Seamingly Clueless to take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05as he's known, from the Eggheads.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08On Arts & Books, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Good luck in this round, Tom. - I'm going to need it!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Arts & Books the subject against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Get it over and done with.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And here we go. Arts & Books.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Your first question.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Which of these is a book by Roald Dahl?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, I actually know this one.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I've got two small kids so I know about children's books
0:13:37 > 0:13:40so this is something I know about. Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Is the right answer. Well done. Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Dave, your question. What is the opening line of Shakespeare's play
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Twelfth Night?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58If music be the food of love, play on.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Absolutely right. If music be the food of love, play on,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- is the right answer.- Yeah. - Tom, back to you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05The Running Man,
0:14:05 > 0:14:10featuring a futuristic game show in which contestants are hunted down
0:14:10 > 0:14:13is a 1982 book by which author?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Science fiction is not my thing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm pretty sure William Golding didn't write much in the way of
0:14:23 > 0:14:26science-fiction. Stephen King might have done.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32But I'm going to go with Clive Barker.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That's interesting. So 1982 book,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37it's by Stephen King.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Stephen King wrote The Running Man, not one of his best-known.- No.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46It was actually released under the name Richard Bachman and these days
0:14:46 > 0:14:49usually gets Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. But, yeah, that's
0:14:49 > 0:14:52the book on which the Schwarzenegger film of the same name is based.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Dave, your question.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55In Oliver Twist,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58which character is described by Dickens on his first appearance
0:14:58 > 0:15:02as having two scowling eyes, one of which displayed various
0:15:02 > 0:15:07parti-coloured symptoms of having recently been damaged by a blow?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm not sure about this one at all.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Logic would normally take me to Fagin...
0:15:16 > 0:15:20..but "damaged by a blow" - because Bill Sykes was a bit of a bruiser -
0:15:20 > 0:15:23leads me more to Bill Sykes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Yeah, you know what, let's go Bill Sykes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28The answer is Bill Sykes.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33So, Dave takes the lead.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And it means, Tom, you need this to stay in.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37"What's it going to be then, eh?"
0:15:37 > 0:15:40is the opening line of which novel?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Well, I don't think it's 1984, I've not read Moby Dick,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49but I've read A Clockwork Orange,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53but can I remember that being the opening line of A Clockwork Orange?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'll go for A Clockwork Orange as a punt.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00You're absolutely right, Tom, well done.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03A Clockwork Orange, well done.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Dave, you can take the round with this question.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11The Alan Ayckbourn play A Chorus Of Disapproval is based around
0:16:11 > 0:16:13rehearsals for an amateur production of what?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I didn't know which opera it was.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Oh, dear. It could be any of them.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm going to go Albert Herring.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Albert Herring.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29It's The Beggar's Opera.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- I would never have got that. - The Beggar's Opera.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33So after three questions, you're level.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35We go now to Sudden Death just to make it that bit harder,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38these questions are not multiple choice. Tom, here's yours.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The novel The Last of the Mohicans
0:16:41 > 0:16:43was first published in which century?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The 19th century.
0:16:45 > 0:16:4619th is right.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Dave, in Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53HE LAUGHS
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- You don't like your Harry Potter. - No. Go on. Yeah.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58In Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, the blood
0:16:58 > 0:17:01of which creature is said to keep you alive
0:17:01 > 0:17:04even if you are an inch from death
0:17:04 > 0:17:06but at a terrible price?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09No, not going to get anywhere near it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Dragon.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12No, a unicorn. You've been knocked out, Dave.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Tom, well done, you're in the final round.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Well done.- That was a close one.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20So please come back to us. This is looking very good for our celebs now.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22We'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27So, as it stands, Seamingly Clueless have lost one brain from the final
0:17:27 > 0:17:31round. The Eggheads have lost two, though. Dave has gone.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35One more round before the final and the subject for you is Science.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So, it's going to be Esme or Keith.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Do we have to flip a coin? - I am absolutely hopeless.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Anyone got a science background they can declare?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Doesn't look like it.- No, not really.- Doesn't look good.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- I'll have a go.- Go on, Keith.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I'll give it a go. - All right, brilliant.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And against which Egghead, Keith?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55You can have Steve or Kevin.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Do you hurl yourself at Kevin, do you try and take out Steve?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I don't know. - I'll hurl myself at Kevin.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03OK.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Always the best tactic. - Stand well back.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08So, Keith, from Seamingly Clueless
0:18:08 > 0:18:11gets Kevin on the potter's wheel from the Eggheads.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14To ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:18:14 > 0:18:15take your positions.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'm wondering if you might be Britain's most famous potter, Keith?
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Well, either me or maybe Grayson Perry.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You're up against Kevin, Keith.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28He's very good.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I shall go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38And here is your first question, Keith, good luck.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40The sun is at the centre of which of these?
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Well, it's...
0:18:49 > 0:18:50..not the universe.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The galaxy...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55No, I'm pretty sure it's the solar system.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Clue's in the name. Yes, the solar system is the right answer.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Kevin. What type of animal is a tapir?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Uh, it's...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, it's a mammal.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Mammal is right. Very good.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, back to you, Keith.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21Caspian and Javan are two now extinct types of which animal?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Well, I'm pretty sure it's not a penguin.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I would go for...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33..llama.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Tiger is the answer, not llama. - OK.- So sorry, Keith.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Kevin, your question. Which particle is often referred to
0:19:41 > 0:19:43as the God particle by the media?
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Well, there was a lot of publicity around this because it was something
0:19:53 > 0:19:57that had been searched for for about 50 years before it was finally,
0:19:57 > 0:19:58they think, detected,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02as an entity that's supposed to give mass to other particles.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03It's the Higgs Boson.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Higgs Boson is quite right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Keith, here's your question to stay in.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Which famous astronomer, born in Hanover,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15was also an accomplished musician who wrote 24 symphonies?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Patrick Moore.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27There's the Halley's Comet.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'm going to go William Herschel.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I'm glad you'd did. William Herschel is correct.- Yes!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Well done. The astronomer who was also a musician.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38All right, level, but Kevin has this question in hand.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Kevin, here we go.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Which English scientist, born in 1578, published his theory
0:20:44 > 0:20:49of how the heart propels blood in a circular course through the body
0:20:49 > 0:20:53in a work called Anatomical Study Of The Motion of the Heart
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And Of The Blood in Animals?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Yeah, well, he's the one who is credited with this, well,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07actually working out the system.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Although people had previously had ideas about some of it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12It's William Harvey.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And that's how they quiz. That's how they roll, Keith.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I'm so sorry.- Great. - William Harvey is the right answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Great.- One of the all-time great quizzers there.- Fantastic.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Kevin, you're in the final. Keith, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27The Challengers have got a good shout in this final round.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Return to us, gentlemen, and we'll play it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33All right. Exciting contest, this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It is time for our final round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38As always, it is General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:41 > 0:21:43won't be in the final round,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47so that's Danny and Keith from Seamingly Clueless but also
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Dave and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Would you please now leave our studio?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Tom, Piers, Esme,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59you're playing to win Seamingly Clueless £9,000.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Lisa, Stephen, Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05which is the Eggheads' reputation and to keep defeating
0:22:05 > 0:22:07these celebrity teams, which you're doing at the moment.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14You are allowed to confer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So Seamingly Clueless, the question is,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19can your three brains defeat these three over here?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Tom, Piers, Esme, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24First.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Here we go. At the start of a game of chess,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34the queen sits with the king on one side of her
0:22:34 > 0:22:35and which piece on the other?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- It is the...- Haven't a clue.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I do, sorry. Do you play chess?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Work it out.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48King and queen, castles are at the end,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- and is the knight the one on the horse?- Yes.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- I think it's the bishop.- OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- I don't know, so...- Bishop. - The Bishop.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Bishop is correct. I can see how one could get suddenly confused by that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- That's our Sports question. - Over-thinking it.- Yes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Let's hope so. - Eggheads, your first question.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11The word Kahuna, used in expressions such as the Big Kahuna,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15has its origins in the indigenous language of which US state?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Hawaii?- Was that Big Kahuna? Must be Hawaii.- Yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Yes, Hawaii.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I think the Ks and Hs give it away, Jeremy. It's Hawaii.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Hawaii is the right answer.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Back to you, Challengers.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35You're doing well. Which famous song begins with the lines,
0:23:35 > 0:23:41"I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45"See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly."?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52I Am The Walrus.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I Am The Walrus.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- I Am The Walrus. Yes, you're right. I Am The Walrus.- Good, good, good.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Yes, yes.- Yes, yes, they say.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Eggheads, got a feeling about this contest.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm wondering if you might come unstuck.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Which European country's flag consists of a yellow sun
0:24:10 > 0:24:14with eight broadening rays extending to the edges of a red background?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- ALL:- Macedonia.- Yeah?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Yeah, Macedonia.- We're all happy that's Macedonia, Jeremy.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Macedonia is quite right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:292-2. Now, this is important. This is your third question.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Get this right, you may not need to do any more work.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38Which British fashion designer drove a tank to David Cameron's home
0:24:38 > 0:24:42in a protest against fracking in September 2015?
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Vivienne Westwood.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Oh, you know that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Vivienne Westwood is correct.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Three out of three.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Will that be enough? Let's see. Eggheads,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03who wrote Hangover Square
0:25:03 > 0:25:07and the trilogy 20,000 Streets Under The Sky?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Read them both.- Patrick Hamilton. - It is, yeah. Brilliant writer.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20I've read them both, Jeremy. Absolutely fantastic writer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21It's Patrick Hamilton.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- That's annoying.- It is, isn't it?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Very.- Patrick Hamilton is correct.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Eggheads, 3-3.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32All right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33You know what this entails.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Yep.- I don't give you options.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Keep on keeping on. Are you going to be the first celebrity team to beat
0:25:38 > 0:25:40them after eight have fallen?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Can you do it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:48In the UK, which patron saint's feast day is celebrated April 23rd?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50St George? Yeah, St George.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Is it?- Yeah.- St George.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55George is right. Well done. St George.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Eggheads, to stay in.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02What is the name of the letter that directly follows Delta
0:26:02 > 0:26:04in the classical Greek alphabet?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. - Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Epsilon.- That's Epsilon, Jeremy.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Epsilon is right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Challengers...
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Seascape, A Delicate Balance and Three Tall Women
0:26:23 > 0:26:27are Pulitzer Prize-winning plays by which American playwright?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Do you know?- No, I don't.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Shall we have a guess?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Well, let's think of American playwrights.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- So it's Seascape... - Three Tall Women...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- It's not something like... - Pulitzer Prize-winning.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- It's not Tennessee Williams or...? - No, I don't think so.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's not Arthur Miller?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- No. I get a bit sketchy after Arthur Miller.- Yeah, yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Maybe we need to go for one of those?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Cos that's all we know.- Exactly, I think we're going to have to.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Shall we try Arthur Miller?- Yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01OK, let's give him a go.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- OK.- It's not that, but...
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Arthur Miller.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Arthur Miller
0:27:05 > 0:27:08is the wrong answer. Let's just see. Eggheads?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Edward Albee.- Edward Albee. - Oh, you all say it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Edward Albee was the answer, Challengers.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's in their hands now. Can they win?
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Your question. The 2016 novel Holding is the first novel
0:27:20 > 0:27:23written by which broadcaster and talk-show host?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Not a clue.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I think it might be Graham Norton.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28I'm not sure.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32But I know he did do one in 2016 which was very...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35..well received by the critics, I thought.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Better than anything I've got. Are you happy with that, Lisa?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- I'm happy.- I may be wrong.- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Kevin seems to think it's Graham Norton, so that is our answer.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Do you know this one?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- I think it's Graham Norton. - I thought it was Jeremy Vine!
