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 > 0:02:53Raj, what about you - have you got any quiz strengths?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'm an expert quizzer.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- In everything?- No, I'm not, Jeremy.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I've never done a quiz before in my life,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and I'm really looking forward to it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Facing this lot, Raj, does this give you the collywobbles?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Absolutely. If you could see me under the table now,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10you'd know that was the case!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Caroline, where are we?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Outside antiques, what have we got to offer here?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I go to the odd pub quiz.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yes, OK.- So, we'll see.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Good stuff. Pub quizzing takes you off the starting blocks, for sure.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25She doesn't actually get involved in the pub quiz -
0:03:25 > 0:03:27she just goes there for a drink, that's it!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31OK. Gary, any particular things you are going to unleash today?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'm just terrified.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I know nothing really.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37That's my excuse.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38And Danny, what about you?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What's it like to be here facing this amazing team?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42They don't faze me at all.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I mean, I am an absolute wealth of knowledge, so...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Really, Danny?- Oh, didn't you know?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- No, I didn't know that. - I weren't so sure myself,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52but I thought I'd say it anyway!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You normally... I'm thinking, cos of the way Bargain Hunt works,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58you may not see each other for quite a little while.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01You might find you run into each other on a programme,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- then you're not back together for two months?- Exactly.- OK.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So you are having a nice little reunion here, are you?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- We are! It's great. - This is the staff party.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- It is, yes.- OK, I hope it ends well.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Good luck, team. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:04:13 > 0:04:15for our Challengers' chosen charity.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20So, Provenonsense,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I can tell you the Eggheads won the last celebrity game.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27So there is £2,000 for you to play for now.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Would you like to try?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Absolutely.- I can't wait for this.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36So, we're going to see what you're made of.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41You can take either Beth, Kevin, Chris, Dave or Lisa on.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- I'm out on the Sport thing. - I know nothing!- I'm good at Sport.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46You're good at Sport.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Happy?- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- We're going to go with Danny. - Danny, which Egghead would you like?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Danny, who looks non-sporting?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well, it's not by the fact that he looks non-sporting,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58but I think I'll go with Chris.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Oh, that's going to make him so cross.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Some things can't be mentioned.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Sport and Chris can't be mentioned in the same breath.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well done, Danny. You are going on Sport for Provenonsense.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Chris is being dragged into the Question Room.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Please, both of you go there now.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Well, Danny, I know you said that from a young age
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- you have been a wheeler dealer? - That's right, I have been. Still am.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23And what was it that got you into the whole thing of just buying stuff
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- and selling it on? - I'm not really sure.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I think, you know,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I sort of got presents that I didn't really like
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and somebody else has got something that I wanted,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34and it just came to a head
0:05:34 > 0:05:36where, if I can crack a deal with this person
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and give him what I don't want and get what I do want,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41then it made a lot of sense to me.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It must be amazing working on Bargain Hunt?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I don't think I've ever met anybody who hasn't seen it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Oh, no. It's absolutely fantastic.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I mean, I'm quite a newcomer to Bargain Hunt, to be honest -
0:05:50 > 0:05:53but the whole team is great.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Really, just doing what I love doing, which is going out there,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01finding bargains, and then taking it to auction and making a profit,
0:06:01 > 0:06:02or trying to make a profit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's just absolutely fantastic.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I feel so at home in that field, to be honest.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Brilliant. I hope you make a profit in this round -
0:06:09 > 0:06:10you are up against Chris on Sport.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Danny, you can go first or second.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13I'll go first, please.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18And here we go. Good luck, Danny.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Which of these sportswomen was born first?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Cor, that seems quite difficult.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31They seem to all be born round about the same sort of time, really.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Denise Lewis has...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Has she retired?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39That puts her at a fair age.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Jessica Ennis-Hill?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46For some reason I'm getting steered towards Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Not that I can really be sure what sport she's into.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Right, I am going to go with...
0:06:56 > 0:06:57..Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01OK. Katarina is still competing.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Jessica Ennis-Hill retired. Denise Lewis is in the commentary box.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Denise Lewis is the answer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09She was born first.
0:07:09 > 0:07:111972 for Denise.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15'86 for Jessica and '93 for Katarina.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Cor, I got that totally wrong. - Don't you worry.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Very first question in the last game,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think it was actually Chris who got it wrong, didn't you?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Yes.- And the Eggheads managed to win.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28So that might be a good omen for your side, actually, Danny.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Let's hope!
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Here we go. Chris's question.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Who won the Formula One Drivers' World Championship in 2016?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I think it was a major upset
0:07:41 > 0:07:43that Lewis Hamilton didn't win it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I don't think it was Jenson Button either. So I'll say Nico Rosberg.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Nico Rosberg is correct.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well done. So he has got one.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52See if you can pull back now, Danny.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53At the Sydney Olympics,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Audley Harrison won a gold medal in which weight division?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Audley Harrison would have been super-heavyweight.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Super-heavyweight is the right answer.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well done. He's a big guy, isn't he?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10He's a big chap, him.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I walked into a bar once and he was in it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I couldn't believe... I think he was six foot seven or eight.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, Dave would know. Any stats on him?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19He looks about six foot six to me, or something.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Around that. But I couldn't be sure.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Big guy?- That is big, it is big.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25He danced with Natalie Lowe that time on Strictly,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and he was taller than her even wearing heels.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I dare say that means more to you than most, Jeremy.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31He did dance, and she is very, very Amazonian.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- She's very tall.- I also did Celebrity MasterChef with him.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Did you?- I did.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And he was handing out the hand cream.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Genuinely. He's the only guy who could really get away with it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44He's so big and imposing.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46He said, "You must always keep your hands nice and soft."
0:08:46 > 0:08:48He was handing it out. It was wonderful.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Just in case you're going to hit someone!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Moisturise those fists.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Obviously we didn't ridicule him in any way whatsoever.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's called softening the blow.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03I've racked my brains, as I often do, he's six foot five and a half.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Oh, right. OK.- So there we go. I was thinking six eight.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Perhaps last time I saw him he was wearing heels.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Well, he was when I saw him! - Was he?- Yeah!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15If he tunes in to watch this programme he's going to be really
0:09:15 > 0:09:19thrown, isn't he? A whole section about Audley Harrison!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22OK, perhaps we'll release this as an extra at Christmas.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK. Chris, it's your question.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28You're level. Which of these is a popular scoring system
0:09:28 > 0:09:30used in amateur golf?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Texas hold 'em is a form of poker.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I think it is the Stableford system, Jeremy.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41- Stableford.- Let's see.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Eggheads? ALL:- Yes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Stableford is right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I'm afraid he is getting them right at the moment, Danny.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's a bit annoying with these Eggheads.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It does mean you need to get this one to stay in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The wicket keeper batsman Jos Buttler
0:09:55 > 0:09:58joined which county cricket team in 2014?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Cricket is not really my forte, unless it's the West Indies.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think I'm going to have to take a wild guess at this one.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm just not sure, to be honest.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I think they are all quite good cricket teams.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I think it's either Yorkshire...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19For some reason I'm being steered towards Yorkshire or Lancashire.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I actually live in Lancashire,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25so if I say Yorkshire I don't think I'm ever going to live it down.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27So I'm going to go with Lancashire.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I'm glad you did. It's right.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Two out of three for you.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Chris can take the round with this.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37The rugby union player Gavin Hastings
0:10:37 > 0:10:40typically played in which position for Scotland and the British
0:10:40 > 0:10:41and Irish Lions?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I never know these rugby positions.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Gavin Hastings, he was a bit of a big lad, wasn't he?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54He would have been a full-back, surely.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Let's see. Beth, do you know? - Yeah, he is a full-back.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Full-back is right, Chris. Oh, Danny, that is so annoying!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I thought he was going to struggle with that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03So you have been knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It can be quite swift, can't it?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Chris, Sport, you are through to the final.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Look at that! Fighting talk. - He can't hear us.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16The stakes have just gone up a little bit here.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Please come back, gentlemen. Rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23OK, so, a difficult start for Provenonsense.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26What is the antiques equivalent of what has happened?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- The door has fallen off?- Rubbish!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Just a loose hinge?- Yeah, yeah. Something like that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Needing a little restoration work, shall we say?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Little bit of French polishing and it will be fine.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It always works wonders.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39So you have lost a brain on this side.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41The Eggheads all still there.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44They're looking a bit too smug, so let's take one of them down.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46The next subject is Film & TV.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Who would like this?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Caroline, how are you on Film & TV?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Not brilliant, I don't think. Is anybody...?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Danny?!
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Danny can't play every round. - Yeah, but Danny is doing so well.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03He has done better than any of us so far.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I think any of us really will be...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I'm not good or bad. - I'm not good on film, really.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Raj? I think it's down to you, mate!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- What do you think, Film & TV? Any good?- Not really.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- What are you good at?- Geography.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'll do it! To save you boys arguing, I'll do it!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- No, I'll do it! I'll do it! - Sure?- Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Caroline.- Choose an Egghead.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29That's the key thing, that's the first big decision.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It can't be Chris.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Film & TV. Who looks like they haven't been inside a cinema?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Oh, Film & TV.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I would like to choose Dave, please.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42All right. Known as Tremendous Knowledge.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Tremendous Knowledge!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So, Caroline from Provenonsense versus Dave from the Eggheads,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Film & TV.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Please take your positions.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Leaving aside any of the Eggheads, Caroline,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57what was your greatest antiques find?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I have had a few over the years, Jeremy.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03My favourite thing, I have to say,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07is a wonderful 1950s Christian Dior new look gown
0:13:07 > 0:13:11that I bought from a car-boot sale in York.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13And I love it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17And I wear it, periodically - not down the pub or anything,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18but it's gorgeous.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Really? And it was a gown, as in a proper dress?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Yes. Wonderful.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- How much?- £4.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Really?- And the guy said, "It's got to be four quid, love, it is Dior!"
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I've heard you talk about a tea caddy in the past?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Yeah. I bought many, many years ago,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40a fabulous, early, pear-shaped tea caddy,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and I think I got that for less than £5, possibly £2,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47and sold it for a four-figure sum.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Yeah, so it was quite good.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51So, in your average flea market,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54car-boot sale, antique shop, or whatever,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55is there normally stuff there?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59You have to look very hard and you have to be up early -
0:13:59 > 0:14:02but, yeah, there are still things about to buy, yeah.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I know this is where you all started, actually making a living
0:14:05 > 0:14:06from working out the difference
0:14:06 > 0:14:08between the sale price and the resale price?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Yes, and you learn very fast
0:14:09 > 0:14:11when you're spending your own money, believe me.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And you run your own auction business as well, don't you?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Yes. No day is the same, and fashions change.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Clothing, you know, furniture comes in and out of fashion.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's a constant cycle and you have to be ahead of the game -
0:14:24 > 0:14:26but, yeah, it's a great business to be in.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30We have one down our road and I always say to my wife,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I beg her to let me buy the suit of armour, every time,
0:14:33 > 0:14:34whenever one comes in.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And she'll never let me do it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Is that a common situation,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- where the bloke wants to buy the suit of armour?- Yes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Or the woman wants to buy something else.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Yeah, very often we get all sorts of shenanigans, people leaving bids,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49"Don't tell the wife, don't tell the husband."
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We have all sorts going on.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I want you to call my wife and tell her why she should let me buy it.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55She just thinks it would look ridiculous
0:14:55 > 0:14:57standing in the middle of our bedroom.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's great! Why not? Why not?!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I can tell your team-mates think the same.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04No, no. Sounds good to me.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Dave, you would own a suit of armour if you saw one going, wouldn't you?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Excuse me?!- If you saw a suit of armour in an antique shop.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'd probably walk past it, Jeremy.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17If it was a Manchester United football kit,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19that is a different matter.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Film & TV, Caroline.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I would like to go first, please.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30So here we go. I know it's not quite the subject you might have chosen,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32but let's see how you do. Your first question.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Davina McCall was the presenter of which TV series from 2000 to 2010?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Right. I don't watch lots of TV, I have to say.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49But I know it's not Top Gear.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52My boys watch that and I've seen that.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53And it's not Pop Idol.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- It's Big Brother. - It is indeed Big Brother.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yes. How Davina made her name, really.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Dave, on to you. Who plays the title role in the zombie comedy film
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Shaun of the Dead?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think that's Simon Pegg.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It is indeed Simon Pegg, yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15OK, back to you Caroline.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Mrs Pumphrey and her spoiled dog Tricki Woo
0:16:18 > 0:16:21were recurring characters in which TV drama series?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Mrs Pumphrey and Tricki Woo.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35Oh, gosh. I don't think it is Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Mrs Pumphrey and Tricki Woo.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I'm going to go with All Creatures Great And Small.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Let me check with your team-mates. Team?- No doubt about it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44No doubt about it, they like that.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46All Creatures Great And Small is right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Two out of two, well done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Dave, which TV game show of the 1970s, '80s and '90s
0:16:53 > 0:16:56featured two teams of celebrities playing a game of charades?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It is not a Game For a Laugh or Call My Bluff.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05The charades one was Give Us a Clue.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Give Us a Clue is right. Imagine someone pitching that now!
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Would that...?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13No. I don't think so.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's not going to threaten Bargain Hunt!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19OK. Caroline, might be a crucial moment.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Get this right and then you get some pressure on Dave,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25and maybe his door falls off.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28That is the only antique analogy I've got, guys.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- It's a good one.- Thank you. The cupboard falls over.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Caroline, who plays the role of the wizard Grindelwald
0:17:35 > 0:17:38in the 2016 film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44They are all possibles, I think.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm sure you're all shouting, knowing which one it is.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And I think...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54..maybe not Johnny Depp.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm going to go with...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- ..George Clooney.- Do your team know?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Let's see.- I would have guessed Johnny Depp.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Yeah.- Oh!- It is Johnny Depp.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08So, two out of three, just like Danny.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Let's see if it's enough to get you into Sudden Death.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Dave, you can take the round with this third question.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17In which TV drama series did David Morrissey play the role
0:18:17 > 0:18:20of a soldier named Sam Webster?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's not Line Of Duty.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It could be The Missing and it could be The Fall.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I might have to take this one, take the fall myself.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36I'll go for The Fall, please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Oh. OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40It's about a serial killer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Right, so it's The Missing.- Yeah, I think that's all I need to say,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- really.- Yes, it is. Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46The answer is The Missing, Dave.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You go to Sudden Death with him, Caroline.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51A little bit of progress for your team here.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So here it gets a bit harder - I don't give you options.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Old Ned was the theme tune to which long-running TV sitcom
0:18:59 > 0:19:01of the 1960s and '70s?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Oh, golly. Golly, golly. Oh.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Do you know, I really don't know. Nothing's leaping out at me.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Rising Damp.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18No, it's Steptoe And Son.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Oh, no!- It's kind of right up your street.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- No, that is so bad. No. - Because, in a funny way,...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Of course it is.- And Steptoe and Son were not antiques dealers,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- but they were...- Rag and bone men. - Rag and bone men. Right.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So they were a few steps down.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Yeah, thanks.- Oh, I thought you'd go straight there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Steptoe And Son. Never mind.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41OK, Dave, for the round, the celebrity agent Ari Gold,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45played by Jeremy Piven, is a character in which TV comedy series?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm just having a think about what it's called.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50I know the programme.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Entourage.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yes, it is Entourage, Dave, well done.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Sorry, Caroline, beaten by our Egghead, there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02He's pretty good, old Dave.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04And he's won the round and you've been knocked out.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07But, don't worry, team, one of our most recent winning teams,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09exactly this happened.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11The first two rounds they lost and came back and won.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, Caroline, Dave, please return and we will play on.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20OK, Provenonsense have now lost a second brain from the final round.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The Eggheads are all there, intact, shells on.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25The next subject for you is History.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Now this should be good, right?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- So...- Oh, now, you see, there's the pressure.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- The pressure's there. - You wanted History.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Yeah, thanks, Raj. You wanted History, as well.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- I don't mind. - There are three historians left.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- I don't mind doing it.- OK.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40David. It's like when we had the doctors in.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42They sort of wanted Science, but also...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Yeah, I know. - It was the most terrifying one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah.- So, David, who would you like to take on?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Kevin, Beth and Lisa - who looks unhistorical?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Very good question. - Lacking in history knowledge.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54One of them's going to be deeply offended
0:20:54 > 0:20:56by this choice, aren't they?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think... I know Lisa's done Celebrity Antiques Road Trip
0:20:59 > 0:21:02and, I think, Beth, you need to do a Celebrity Antiques Road Trip,
0:21:02 > 0:21:03so I'm going to choose you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Oh.- OK. That sounds like an invitation.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Yeah.- David from Provenonsense
0:21:08 > 0:21:11versus Beth from the Eggheads on History.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Please go to our Question Room now.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18So, your first screen test was more than a decade ago, David.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It was, it certainly was, yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Quite an experience that was, as well.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Cos it didn't quite go to plan? - Not quite, no.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They were quite ruthless with me, Jeremy.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So, roughly what did they tell you to do?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well, they sent somebody up with a camera, because I'd been doing
0:21:31 > 0:21:33some off-screen valuing for another TV show,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and I kept putting myself forward and knocking on doors
0:21:36 > 0:21:37and sending letters, in those days,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39saying, "Look, I really want to be on TV."
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Nothing was happening - but, anyway, I got this chance.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44They sent a director up from London, with a camera,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46to do the screen test thing.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48He put the camera in my face and told me to deliver something,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51tell the world about myself, which I did.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The following day, the producer rang me and he said,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57"David, I really like you."
0:21:57 > 0:21:59This is marvellous! It was a bit luvvie, you know.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00I'm in the TV world now.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02He almost called me darling.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And he said to me, "I want to do another screen test.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08"Before we put you into the broadcast I want to do one more,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10"but I want to make just a few alterations,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12"a few changes, do you mind?"
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I said, "No, not at all." He said, "OK, here's the list.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18"Shave your hair off, shave your beard off,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20"pluck your eyebrows,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23"put some false tan on and smarten yourself up."
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Good grief! That's almost everything.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Pretty much everything, really.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I should have just brought in a twin brother,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30that would have been much easier.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32But in the antiques business you've got to be thick-skinned,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and I think the TV business is exactly the same,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36so I had a good grounding.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It serves you well, because it's not just Bargain Hunt,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41it's Cash In The Attic and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and Flog It and, of course, Antiques Road Trip.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Of course. - Probably the most fun of all.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Which, Beth will be joining me very soon.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Would you do that, Beth? - Oh, yes, certainly.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Any chance to drive a vintage car and go buy some antiques.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Fantastic.- Did we have Barry Simmons on it once, David, I think?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58- Yeah.- Lisa, you were on it, as well.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Barry and I went together. It was great.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01And who won of those two?
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I thrashed Barry.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Yeah, because Barry would just buy the first ten things.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Well, I'm very good at shopping, anyway.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08I was concentrating on the quality
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and Barry was just looking for the most weird things he could find
0:23:11 > 0:23:12and coming out with them.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15He had this bizarre little copper fridge thing.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I mean, I'm not even sure that poor old Christina Trevanion,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21who was saddled with Barry, knew exactly what it was for -
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and, believe me, these guys know everything about everything,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26it's quite intimidating.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27And Beth should do it, right?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Absolutely.- Good stuff.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31And, David, I must mention your art, as well,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33because as well as buying and selling, you also paint.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's a big passion for me.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38You know, there's an old Chinese saying, I think it was Confucius,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42that said that everybody should meditate every day for 20 minutes,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and if you feel you don't have enough time
0:23:44 > 0:23:48to meditate for 20 minutes, then you need to meditate for one hour -
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and it's a really good saying, and I find painting a great meditation.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I've done it for many years,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and now I'm lucky enough to be able to sell it,
0:23:55 > 0:23:56and it's part of what I do.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57- Fantastic.- Yeah.- So, History.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I think History's good for an antiques expert, I really do.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01It should be.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It should be. That's part of the problem, I know.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06David, do you want to go first or second against Beth?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07I want to get it out of the way.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Jeremy, I want to go first, please.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Here we go, then.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18In his 1775 speech to the Virginia Convention,
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Patrick Henry famously said "give me liberty or give me" what?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, 1775, so this is George III
0:24:29 > 0:24:33and we're talking about the American colonial civil war...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Not civil war, the War of Independence here,
0:24:35 > 0:24:36aren't we, obviously?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40So, any one of those would suit, but we know what he's talking about.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45He's talking about breaking free from Britain,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48he's talking about building this new country of America.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Death, imprisonment, or war.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Give me liberty or give me...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58..war...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- is my answer.- War is your answer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Let's see. Do you know, Challengers?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Death, I think it's death. - It is death.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Oh!- Give me liberty or give me death.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08And, Beth, your question.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Which of these historical figures was born first?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17I hope that was Napoleon.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Napoleon is the right answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24David, in 44 BC, which man adopted Octavian,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27the future Roman emperor Augustus?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I think I'm better in the Georgian period, to be honest.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think we're going back too far here.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Surely one of the emperors, so Nero or Julius Caesar.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I think Julius Caesar is later, isn't he?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I'm going to go Nero.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Let's see from our Eggheads. Is he right?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49- It's Julius Caesar.- Julius Caesar.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Julius Caesar is the answer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Sorry, guys.- The 50-50 is...
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Yeah.- ..getting to you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58All right, Beth, your question.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59You can take the round with this.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04The American criminal Charles Floyd, born in 1904,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06was best known by what nickname?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12They could all fit.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15This isn't one I'm aware of or know.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21They all sound like very Chicago-esque, mobster-type names.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I bet Chris is sitting there on his hands, rocking, going,
0:26:24 > 0:26:25"It's such and such."
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Charles Floyd.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34My first thought from those is Pretty Boy,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so I'll go with that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Pretty Boy. - Let's see if Chris does know.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Is it right?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Yeah, see, you mugs, it is Pretty Boy Floyd, yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44- Pretty Boy Floyd is the right answer.- Yay!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Well done, Beth.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47You've won the round.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50David, sorry, beaten by our Eggheads on History
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and therefore not in the final. Please return to us.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56One more round to play before the final.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- OK, bad luck there, David.- Oh, well. - It happens.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I know that Roman emperors are not covered in the world of antiques.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Provenonsense have lost three brains from the final round.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Still a tight contest in these individual head-to-heads.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14The next subject is Geography.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Not me.- Raj, it's got to be you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21He's been talking about geography all day.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Shires and counties.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You're going to have to do it, aren't you?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Yeah. I'm going to have to do it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28And it's Kevin or Lisa.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Lisa, please.- Okey dokey.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34So, Raj from Provenonsense is going to play Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37OK, please go to the Question Room for the last round.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well, I would never have guessed, Raj,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44that in your youth you were in an aerial ski stunt team.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Well, I was very lucky, Jeremy.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I learned to ski in the Army and...
0:27:50 > 0:27:54I got spotted very early on in my Army career and I was taken away
0:27:54 > 0:27:57and I managed to get to a pretty high level -
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and after leaving the Army,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I was asked to become the road manager to the world stunt team,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05which was... We travelled around the world.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Great skiers. I learnt a hell of a lot.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09It's one of my major passions.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I love skiing almost as much as I love antiques.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Aerial ski stunts are going off ramps and into the air
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- and somersaulting and all sorts? - That's right.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18In fact, in those days,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22we actually built a ramp on the side of the Thames
0:28:22 > 0:28:27and skied into the Thames with four of the top ten world champions.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Aerialists. It was a great time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Yeah, but you can do it anywhere.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32These days, if you've got...
0:28:34 > 0:28:37..an air bed to land on, you can literally do it anywhere.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42All round the country I can now hear mums saying, "No, you can't."
0:28:44 > 0:28:45You need a pretty big air bed.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Yeah, yeah. And a big garden, yeah.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49So, also magic, you love magic, too.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Yeah, it's been a passion from an early age.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56We were very lucky. My dad used to drink occasionally
0:28:56 > 0:28:58with Tommy Cooper, one of our greats,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02and my dad was into card tricks and taught me a few
0:29:02 > 0:29:06and I used it when I travelled - and I still do, a little bit.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09In fact, I did a couple of tricks on one of the Road Trips recently.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Yeah, it's just one of those things I just got into.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13I always find, with magic tricks,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15it's not just about knowing how they're done,
0:29:15 > 0:29:16but it's like playing the guitar -
0:29:16 > 0:29:19you have to practise them for the sleight of hand.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20You do, you do. You have to keep practising,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22especially if it's card manipulation,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25or whatever manipulation it is, your hands have to be very dextrous,
0:29:25 > 0:29:26so you do need to practise a lot.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29And these days, I don't practise as much.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32All right. And geography is clearly yet another interest of yours
0:29:32 > 0:29:34because you kept mentioning geography over here.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Or maybe you were just hoping it wouldn't come up.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Jeremy, I think you got it right at the end.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40I was just hoping it wouldn't come up.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Then you can say, "Well, it hasn't come up, I'm not playing."
0:29:43 > 0:29:44It could have been any subject!
0:29:44 > 0:29:48All right, so, Raj, would you like to go first or second against Lisa?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Jeremy, I'd like to go first, please.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57All right, good luck, Raj, against Lisa on Geography, and here we go.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01Which of these oceans is the smallest by surface area?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Well, I'm pretty certain it's not the Pacific.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I'm going to go down the middle. I'm going to say Indian, Jeremy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Do we like that, team?- We do, we do.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14We like it. Indian's right.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Lisa, your question.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21The Tay is the longest river in which country of the UK?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26The Tay? T-A-Y?
0:30:26 > 0:30:27- T-A-Y.- Just checking.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I think you'll find that in Scotland.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Scotland is right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Raj, in which part of the UK is the town of Harrogate?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Harrogate. Well, it's definitely not Scottish Borders
0:30:42 > 0:30:44and I've been to the West Country quite a lot
0:30:44 > 0:30:47just recently on Road Trips, so it's not the West Country.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's in North Yorkshire, Jeremy.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50North Yorkshire's correct.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53All right, so far a perfect round. Let's see, Lisa.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Adelaide is the capital of which Australian state?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03It's the smirk on your face when you say the word Australia
0:31:03 > 0:31:05when you look at me, Jeremy.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08I notice you did not even bat an eyelid when I raised
0:31:08 > 0:31:10your most problematic country.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Not even giving you the satisfaction any more.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It's South Australia.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Oh, right, you've been brushing up, have you?
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Little bit.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20South Australia is quite right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22A year ago that might have floored Lisa, that question,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25but she's been, obviously, spending time with maps.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30All right, Raj, this is where a couple of your colleagues
0:31:30 > 0:31:32have come unstuck, on this beastly third question.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Get this right, put Lisa under some pressure.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Which of these countries has the largest population?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Well, Australia's certainly the largest of them...
0:31:47 > 0:31:49..but probably not for population.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I'm not sure about this one at all.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I'm going to say...
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Spain, Jeremy.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Don't say that. Japan!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00But I'm not sure about that.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- We've got a slight paroxysm of agony going on in the team-mates.- Yeah.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Tell us why, team-mates.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06It's Japan.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Yeah, Gary confirms Japan is the answer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12OK, Lisa, here's your question, for the round.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Which country is often referred to as the Giant of Africa?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21OK, well, if we are assuming it's on size, it ain't Rwanda.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26If it is on size, I'd guess it would be Nigeria.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I don't know, I would have thought there are all sorts of things
0:32:28 > 0:32:31you could call Kenya before you got to that as a name.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Unless I'm barking up the wrong tree
0:32:35 > 0:32:37and it has nothing to do with size at all.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43No, I don't know. I think that's the only reasoning I can go on.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- We'll try Nigeria.- Nigeria.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well the reason is to do with population, but also economy.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50The Giant of Africa is Nigeria,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52so, well done, Lisa, you've won that round.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Raj, sorry. Ah, what can I say?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Close.- Close!
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Close, indeed. Beaten by our Eggheads and, if you come back,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03we're ready to play the final round.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Excellent. I think we're all in, aren't we(?)
0:33:05 > 0:33:07LAUGHTER
0:33:09 > 0:33:11So, all very exciting, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13It is time for our final round
0:33:13 > 0:33:15which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:33:18 > 0:33:20won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24So, David, Raj, Caroline and Danny from Provenonsense,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26would you please now leave the studio?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Don't leave me!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Well, Gary, tell us where you were brought up,
0:33:32 > 0:33:33because I know it's fascinating.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Well, I was born and raised in the Philippines,
0:33:36 > 0:33:40and my two parents come from a very small island
0:33:40 > 0:33:42south of Manila called Marinduque -
0:33:42 > 0:33:46and, actually, most of my ancestors come from that place
0:33:46 > 0:33:50apart from, on my father's side,
0:33:50 > 0:33:54a Chinese trader who came from Amoy,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and on my mother's side a Spanish priest
0:33:57 > 0:34:00who was sent to the islands to spread the faith
0:34:00 > 0:34:01and took it literally.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04OK, also a very good combination, in a way -
0:34:04 > 0:34:05but I know on this...
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I've read about you talking previously, that on this island,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11the objects you have in your house were very important to you.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Absolutely. That's where all the stories came from,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18that's how you got to learn about your ancestors and what they did,
0:34:18 > 0:34:19where they came from.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25My grandmother was probably the greatest storyteller of the island.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Almost a hoarder, borderline hoarder.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30She never threw anything out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34But she knew about every object that was in that house.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Which gave you your interest?
0:34:36 > 0:34:41I was the oldest grandchild, so she doted on me, basically,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43and told me everything I wanted to know
0:34:43 > 0:34:46about these objects, my ancestors.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I mean, for a child with wide eyes,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I mean, the stories she told were just incredible.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54And she could go on and on and on.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57And, you know, I'm grateful for her.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It gave you your passion.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Well, basically, I think that's why I'm here.- Yeah.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Well, Gary, you are playing to win Provenonsense £2,000.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06I know this was not quite the plan,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08for them all to end up in the sin bin.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10No, this is not what I wanted.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You can do it, you can do it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Beth, Kevin, Chris, Dave, Lisa,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:35:15 > 0:35:16the Eggheads' reputation
0:35:16 > 0:35:20to withstand this celebrity onslaught you've been under today.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:35:22 > 0:35:25and this time they're all General Knowledge.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Usually I say, Gary, you can confer,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29but I know this doesn't really help here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33The question is, can your one brain take down these five?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36And then we can run the clip again and again on Bargain Hunt
0:35:36 > 0:35:39when it happens. Would you like to go first or second?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I'll be a rebel and go second, please.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48OK, so, the first question goes to the Eggheads.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Cryptozoology is the study of what?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Legendary creatures. - Legendary creatures?- Yeah.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03It's legendary creatures.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Yes, indeed, an example of that being the Eggheads.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Legendary creatures is correct.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- GARY:- Should have gone first! - Oh, yeah.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11It's OK. Look, don't worry. Here we are.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13We're still early days here in the final round.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Playing for £2,000.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19Gary, in Greek mythology, who slayed the dragon Ladon?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21L-A-D-O-N.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Achilles. Achilles heel.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30No, there's nothing to do with that. I don't think so.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Paris I don't think has anything to do with that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I think it's Heracles.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I think it's Heracles, too.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Well done. Is that one of your grandmother's stories?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50You said it was such conviction.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52OK, Eggheads.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Which member of the Royal Family had a famous romantic association
0:36:55 > 0:36:57with Group Captain Peter Townsend?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Margaret. Margaret. - Princess Margaret.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Yeah.- Yeah, caused a bit of kerfuffle at the time.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07It was Princess Margaret.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10It was Princess Margaret, and I remember it as a schoolboy.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Why was it a kerfuffle? Was it because she was married?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13It was because he was divorced.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- He was divorced.- That was it, was it, no more than that?
0:37:16 > 0:37:17She was involved with him
0:37:17 > 0:37:19and, yes, she knew it couldn't really come of anything
0:37:19 > 0:37:21because he was divorced.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Then he got married again and not so long after that
0:37:23 > 0:37:26she married Antony Armstrong-Jones.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Right, interesting. Didn't know that.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30OK, Gary, your question.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Which comedian, who passed away in 1995,
0:37:33 > 0:37:37is often referred to as the father of modern satire?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I would say it's Peter Cook.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48You're playing confidently. You're quite right again.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Peter Cook is right.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I think you've rattled them here with your decisiveness.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Eggheads, third question.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Which of these famous archaeological finds is located in Suffolk?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Sutton Hoo.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Yeah. Actually been there. Very interesting site.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13It's Sutton Hoo.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Sutton Hoo is right.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18It's terrible when they know it, isn't it?
0:38:18 > 0:38:19I should have gone first.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Listen, it's going well. Not a hair out of place, so far.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29Just get this right, Gary, and then they could fall into total shambles.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31That's what we've got to hope for.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Here's your question.
0:38:32 > 0:38:38Operation Eagle Claw was a failed mission by the US military
0:38:38 > 0:38:42in April 1980 to rescue hostages being held in which country?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47It's not Russia...
0:38:47 > 0:38:50and I don't think it's North Korea, either.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52My instincts tell me that...
0:38:53 > 0:38:55..it's Iran. 1980?
0:38:55 > 0:38:581980, yeah. Let me read it again, because it's important.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Operation Eagle Claw was a failed mission by the US military
0:39:02 > 0:39:07in April 1980 to rescue hostages being held in which country?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Who was President then, was that...?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I think it was Jimmy Carter.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15In which case, I do believe that that would be Iran.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18The answer's Iran.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22It was just before Reagan took over, and it was a real humiliation,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24and it was Jimmy Carter, and it was Iran.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Well done, Gary, three out of three.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Oh, I'm feeling the tension now.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30You've pulled it back here.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34It gets a bit harder, as you know, Eggheads,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37you've been here so many times. I do not give you different choices.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Here is your question.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42The arctic explorer, diplomat and scientist
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Fridtjof Nansen was born in which country?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Norwegian.- Norwegian, yeah.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50He was born in Norway. Norwegian.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Norway's right.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Gary...
0:39:54 > 0:39:59Sussudio was a 1985 hit single for which UK singer?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Oh, no.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I wasn't even in this country.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05What was the name again?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Sussudio. It's one word, strange word -
0:40:08 > 0:40:10S-U-S-S-U-D-I-O.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Sussudio.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Nothing comes to mind.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- Sussudio.- Sussudio was a 1985 hit single for which UK singer?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Sudden Death.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Phil Collins?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28You're right!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30JEREMY LAUGHS
0:40:32 > 0:40:33How brilliant.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- No!- Yes!
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Yes, that's like buying the tea caddy for £1
0:40:39 > 0:40:41and it's worth a million.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Well done, you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46All right, maybe this is going to happen. I'm feeling it now.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Something in the air tonight!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Here we go. Watch the Eggheads crumble now.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57In the early 20th century, Daisy Greville, the Countess of Warwick,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00threatened to publish intimate letters revealing an affair
0:41:00 > 0:41:03between herself and which king when he was Prince of Wales?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06It's got to be Edward VII.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08THEY TALK OVER ONE ANOTHER
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Yes, basically, yes.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- So, yeah.- OK? - I can't think of any others.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16The then-king in the early 20th century was Edward VII,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19who'd been Prince of Wales for a very long time indeed,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so it would have been tricky for it to have been anybody else.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23So, Edward VII.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Edward VII is quite right.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Apparently their affair took place when he was Prince of Wales.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31OK, I'm afraid... I was hoping they'd stumble there,
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- but they didn't. - Obviously I got that question.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35When there's all five of them, it's very hard.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37The brains are all working in sync.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Just keep going, keep plugging away with your brilliant answers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Here's your question. Sudden Death - you've got to get this right.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47The 2012 novel A Week In Winter was the last to be written
0:41:47 > 0:41:49by which Irish author?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I don't even know any contemporary Irish authors, unfortunately, so...
0:41:58 > 0:42:00..I think it begins with an H. Erm...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05No. I'll need to pass. Nothing.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Any name out of the air, anything.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10No, I can't.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Sorry.- OK.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14A Week In Winter.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17You've passed. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- Maeve Binchy. - I'd have gone Binchy, yeah.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20- Maeve Binchy.- Yes.- Oh.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23- Not even close.- Not even... OK.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Well, there's some consolation in that.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The answer is Maeve Binchy
0:42:27 > 0:42:29and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Well, there we are. Along with all the other stuff,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I know you're a jazz singer and antiques expert.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40You also a quizzer, Gary, there's no question.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Definitely a quizzer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44That Phil Collins answer was miraculous.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Oh, dear. It was the only one from the 1980s that I could think of.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Yeah, but really well done. I'm sorry.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Maeve Binchy, if it's not there, it's not there.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52It's a bit obscure for me.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55But thank you so much for playing. Thanks, team, at the back.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Great to see you.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- What fun. I hope you enjoyed it. - Oh, absolutely. It was great.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02I'm relieved.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Well, you've now got to value these five.- I did them proud, at least.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Yeah, you've definitely done them proud, you really, really have.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Commiserations to our Challengers, our celebrities.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17You still reign supreme over even celebrity quiz land.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I'm afraid it means you haven't won the £2,000
0:43:19 > 0:43:21so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Someone's going to win it, surely, at some point -
0:43:23 > 0:43:26but I wonder, Eggheads, you are in very good form.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Join us next time to see if a new team of celebrity Challengers
0:43:29 > 0:43:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33£3,000 says they don't.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Until then, goodbye.
