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 > 0:01:56What about you then, Tom, have you quizzed before?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I'm hopelessly uncompetitive.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I've done University Challenge once,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02and we got through to the semifinals, so that's not bad.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oh, well, they will immediately be on their mettle with that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Believe me, you've just rung a bell there!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Piers, quizzing, any strengths or weaknesses?
0:02:10 > 0:02:15I pretend I'm uncompetitive, but actually I'm really competitive,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and I have to confess I have won Celebrity Mastermind
0:02:17 > 0:02:20fairly recently. But I don't have great hopes
0:02:20 > 0:02:21for today, actually, yet.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23When you said the words "Celebrity Mastermind",
0:02:23 > 0:02:26there was a little "Oh!" There was a little noise.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30They just suddenly are thinking, "OK, game on."
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Esme, I suppose, yes, fashion is your thing,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- arts and books by extension.- Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Any subject you definitely don't want?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I definitely don't want to do sport, I definitely don't want to do telly,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43cos I don't have one, so I never watch it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- You don't even watch yourself? - Well, I have watched myself,
0:02:46 > 0:02:47I have to admit.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I was forced to!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52But I didn't want to.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53You then got rid of your telly!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I've never had a telly.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Have you had, Danny, any kind of battle plan?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Have you had a strategy session as a team?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Yeah, we've actually been trying to motivate each other.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We've had the big huddle outside before we came in,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and I gave these guys a good team talk, so we're ready to go.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Yeah. Very, very good.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So the huddle, and maybe even, Keith,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17a little bit of a thought about subjects and how to play them?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Or did it not go that far?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Not really. I mean, for me, geography and maybe politics
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I could do.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I really don't want to do sport.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I think that's more Danny's bag, so, yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29OK, well, if you've got Danny on sport,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31you've got actually quite a good spread there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33All right, good luck, Challengers.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:03:36 > 0:03:40for your chosen charity. If you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43we just roll the prize-money to the next show.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now, we've had some celeb teams in already,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and they've all come a cropper, OK?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- No pressure, then. - Eight of them in a row.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, I think that's good for you. It means that no-one's won before,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and the jackpot for you to win is...
0:03:57 > 0:03:58- Wow.- OK.- OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, eight teams have failed, you're the ninth, good luck.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Shall we start?- Yeah, go on, then.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Focus, team. - Bring it on!- Shall we hold hands?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08We can do it!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You can do it! Come on!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12We've got a lot of talent on this desk.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And it's one of you you've got to choose,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21against either here, Judith, who famously won £1 million,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Kevin, Steve, Dave, Lisa.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I'm happy to do Music.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Are you Music?- OK. - You want to do Music?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Yeah. - I'll do sport, if it comes up.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- I'm good at music.- Go, Piers, go!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- But against who?- I think Judith.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Judith? Yeah. - Bold!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You think she doesn't look very musical?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41She's just the first one on the end.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Knock them off one by one!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47It's very methodical. OK, I like that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's an architect's mind there, isn't it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50- You know?- Line them up.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52And I know you did Bob Dylan as your specialist subject
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- for Celebrity Mastermind.- I did.- OK, Piers from Seamingly Clueless,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00our first celeb in going against our own Judith from the Eggheads.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04would you please now take your positions
0:05:04 > 0:05:06in our famous question room.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Well, your thing is architecture, Piers, I know,
0:05:09 > 0:05:10but we don't have an architecture round.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13That's a pity. So I'm going to have to settle for Music.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But you've done some amazing programmes,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19both about what you can do to a modest house with £100,000,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and then looking at some of the most beautiful homes in the world.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24That's right, completely up the other end of the scale, yeah.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26That's right. So I need to come back at some point
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- and do the bit in the middle. - Yeah, what do you like best?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I saw one where you built an enormous blue porch on the front of
0:05:31 > 0:05:34somebody's house in Warwick, and he managed to look really happy
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- about it.- It looked a little bit like a Portaloo,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38and his neighbours weren't so happy, but actually he was happy,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40so that's what counts.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yeah, and the interior of that house and the others you've done over have
0:05:43 > 0:05:46been amazing afterwards,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and it must give you a lot of pleasure to see their reaction.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It does. I mean, the big idea is that it doesn't cost much.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Design is about thinking, not about going to buy things,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and that's what we really try and show in the programme.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, I know you love music, Piers, and Bob Dylan especially.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That's right, yeah. Bob Dylan is a big hero, but I do have my gaps,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- I'm telling you.- OK, well, let's hope we avoid them.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Would you like to go first or second against our Egghead?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I would like to go first, actually.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So, playing music against Judith, Piers, your first question.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Roxie Hart is a character in which musical of stage and screen?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Gosh, I haven't got a clue, but I'm going to have to guess here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So, I suspect it isn't The Sound of Music.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35It sounds like it could be an American name,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37so I'm going to go for Chicago.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Judith, is he right?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Yes, he's right. - Absolutely right, well done.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Yes!- Thank goodness for that. - Phew!- Well done, Piers.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Sometimes that first question can be a nightmare.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Judith, yours.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53When Jason Orange left Take That in 2014,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56how many members of the original group remained?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Oh, deary me.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Take That. I think three remained.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07You're absolutely right, Judith, well done.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- Three.- Phew!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Phew! Piers, your question.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16If Every Day Was Christmas is a 2016 single by which celebrity child?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Gosh, again I haven't got a clue, and I haven't heard the song.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Is it music?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29I'm going to have to...
0:07:31 > 0:07:35..guess again, and I think
0:07:35 > 0:07:38it is Cruz Beckham.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You're right, Cruz Beckham it is.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Phew.- I can see how competitive you are.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Judith, to catch up.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Which US singer had posthumous UK number one albums with Songbird,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Imagine and American Tune?
0:07:59 > 0:08:06I don't know, but I'm going to guess at Karen Carpenter.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah, I know why you did that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Eva Cassidy is the answer.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Ooh, a bit of a glitch.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What's the architectural equivalent of what's just happened,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- a hanging beam? - Yeah, a bit of a bodge.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Yeah, a bodge from the Eggheads there.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23So, Piers, you can take the round with this question.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Don't let her back in.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28First performed in New York in 1954,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32The Tender Land was a major operatic work by which composer?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Gosh. Again, I don't think it's avant-garde enough for John Cage,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43who I know is an avant-garde composer.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47I think it isn't Aaron Copland, so I'm going to go
0:08:47 > 0:08:49for Leonard Bernstein.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yeah, I could see the logic of not going Cage,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53but are you right on Copland Bernstein?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Eggheads, do you know? - I would have gone the same as
0:08:57 > 0:08:58- Piers.- You like Bernstein.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What about you, Judith?- Well, I'm going to say Aaron Copland,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03cos I just hope that's what it is.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Aaron Copland is right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Aaron Copland is the answer, so Judith has a chance to come back.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Judith, get this wrong, you're out.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16In 2015, which American hip-hop group sold the only copy
0:09:16 > 0:09:20in existence of their album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin
0:09:20 > 0:09:23for a reported £1.3 million?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Shaolin is S-H-A-O-L-I-N.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Right, well it's completely pointless asking me questions
0:09:34 > 0:09:37like that, I'm afraid.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I have absolutely no idea.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm going to go Arrested Development.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The answer is Wu-Tang Clan.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I so nearly went for that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50You so nearly got it right, but you're knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Oh.- First blood to our Challengers.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- This is good, guys. - Yes!- Well done, Piers.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Phew! By the skin of my teeth!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You've emerged triumphant against Judith.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02You will be in the final round.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Please rejoin your team-mates, and we'll play on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09As it stands, Seamingly Clueless have not lost any brains.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Well played, Piers.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13That was good, that's a good start for you, Challengers.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The Eggheads have had a brain knocked out,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and the next subject is Sport.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Who wants Sport? - There's only one person!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's Danny, right?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Do you mind, Danny? - No, I don't mind.- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29OK. Our brilliant gardener, against which Egghead?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30It can't be Judith, Danny.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33So, you can have Lisa, Dave, Steve or Kevin, left to right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I think I'll go for Lisa.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Hang on, hang on, what happened to this starting at that side,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- and working down?- Well...- Either end, then you pick off the middle!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44There is a tactical ploy here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48So, Danny from Seamingly Clueless is playing Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50They're starting at the ends and moving to the middle.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This is exciting.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Well, I'm sorry we haven't got a garden for you
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- to work on here, Danny. - Oh, that's a shame, Jeremy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I love what you do on your programme with more modest gardens,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08and your programme says you can do stuff with them!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Absolutely. Basically, the programme's about doing gardens
0:11:12 > 0:11:14on a budget, and not all of us want to spend
0:11:14 > 0:11:16a lot of money on our gardens, do we?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I was watching the other day, and you were talking about...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21You said "foreshortening a garden",
0:11:21 > 0:11:24which is a technique in painting which gives it depth,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26and I couldn't quite work it out.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29What do I do to make my garden look longer than it is?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34The way I foreshortened the garden was by creating a bit of mystery.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38I used fencing, and I created an invisible opening,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42so by creating that invisible opening, by staggering the fences,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46it made it look like the garden was longer than what it was,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48because you want to see what's beyond that fence.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Yeah. I feel bad about turning to sport,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53but I've got to mention, you're actually
0:11:53 > 0:11:54a sportsperson really, aren't you?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yes, I am. I used to play a little bit of sport.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And you've been on the books of Charlton Athletic?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- A long, long time ago. - And Borussia Monchengladbach?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany, yes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06And was there a point in your life, Danny,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08when you thought, "This could be my career"?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10There was. I mean, I was a guy growing up
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and I always wanted to be a footballer.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19And I was fortunate enough to play for Borussia Monchengladbach's
0:12:19 > 0:12:22youth team, when my father was stationed in Germany,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24because he was in the Army.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28And I played for them for a little while, amongst other teams,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30and then when my father got posted back to this country,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I had a little go with Charlton Athletic.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36And we noticed that when you played Celebrity Mastermind,
0:12:36 > 0:12:41cos you did as well, you chose the career of Gary Sobers.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I certainly did, a boyhood hero of mine.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- The cricketer, yeah.- Do you know, I even wanted to walk like him
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- when I was a kid. - Has he got a special walk, has he?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, he had this sort of lope with his collar up,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and he kind of walked forward,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and he had this sort of spring in his step.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I would have paid to have seen him walk to the middle!
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, I think we've got you on the right round here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- I really do, Danny.- OK. - So, good luck on sport.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You're playing Lisa. Danny, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'll go second.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Got a feeling about this one, Lisa?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I think we've just proved that all of Danny's specialist subjects are
0:13:17 > 0:13:21things about which I know absolutely nothing, so this is going to be fun.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Here's your first question, Lisa.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Which word is used instead of match to refer to
0:13:26 > 0:13:30each of the five tennis contests that make up a Davis Cup tie
0:13:30 > 0:13:31between two countries?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36That's a rubber.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It is a rubber.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Danny, on to you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42The Rugby Union centre Jean de Villiers has played
0:13:42 > 0:13:44over 100 times for which country?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Well, I'm not really a rugby person, Jeremy.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58And I reckon the clue has got to be in the name, Jean de Villiers.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I think I would have known if he'd played for England.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Definitely not Fiji, so it's got to be South Africa.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Sounds like a South African name, so I'll go with that one.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Yes, I lived in South Africa for a while,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12and that name J-E-A-N, you're never sure how to pronounce it,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15whether it's "John", or "Jean", or "Gene", or what.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18But you're absolutely right, South Africa.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19- Whoa!- South Africa. Yeah!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21OK, Lisa.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Which athlete broke the indoor
0:14:22 > 0:14:27and outdoor pole vault world records 35 times during his career?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35So, Carl Lewis was a sprinter,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and I don't think ever went near a pole vault pole in his life.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43It was part of Sebrle's discipline, because he was a decathlete,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45world record-breaking decathlete.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47But the one we want here is Sergei Bubka.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well done you, Sergei Bubka is quite right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:5235 times.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54They're quite good, Danny, aren't they?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- They are, yeah, very good. - They know stuff.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59OK, your question, Danny.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The footballer Thibaut Courtois typically plays in which position?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Well, I know this one.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Goalkeeper.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Yeah, he is.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Goalkeeper is correct.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18So, two each and, Lisa, your question, your third question.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22In which city did the British swimmer Anita Lonsbrough
0:15:22 > 0:15:24win an Olympic gold medal?
0:15:28 > 0:15:34OK. Now, when Becky Adlington won her gold medals,
0:15:34 > 0:15:40it was the first time that a British woman had done it since Lonsbrough.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44And I think it was in the '60s, which would make it Rome,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47but I'll just have a little think about that.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Erm, no, I don't think you've got to go back as far as '48 for it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I think it's Rome.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55You're absolutely right, Rome it is.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Three out of three, Lisa, on Sport.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00OK, to stay in, Danny, you've got to get this right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Which cricketer scored a century on his Test match debut for England
0:16:05 > 0:16:08against India in December 2016?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20That's a question and a half.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Keaton Jennings certainly did.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You know what, I'm going to go for Keaton Jennings.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Keaton Jennings is the right answer.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Oh, it is?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Whoo!- Whoa!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I know you were on the edge, there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36You're playing well, you've got three out of three,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Lisa's got three out of three. We go now to Sudden Death.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It gets a bit harder - I don't give you different options.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Lisa, your question.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47In which country was the tennis player Tommy Haas born?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Yeah, Tommy Haas, he had a late career renaissance.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54He started playing brilliantly at about 36 or 37.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I think he's a German, but let's just have a little think.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03No, I don't think he's Austrian or Swiss, or any of those, no.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I think it is Germany.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Germany's correct. She's difficult to shake off, Danny.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- She is, isn't she? - Here's your question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Can I go for another Egghead, please?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14They're all good, they're all good.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17All right, here's your question. This to stay in, Danny.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22The Chicago Bulls basketball team retired the number 23
0:17:22 > 0:17:24in honour of which player,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26who played for them between 1984 and 1998?
0:17:29 > 0:17:30I've got no idea.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Michael Jordan.- Lisa, is he right?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- I think he might be.- Yeah, you're right, well done, Michael Jordan.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45There's nothing more satisfying, is there?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Nothing more satisfying than getting a guess right.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Yeah. All right, well done.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Sudden Death. Lisa, back to you.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54What is the first name of the American high jumper
0:17:54 > 0:17:58after whom the Fosbury flop technique was named?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Erm, I think he was Dick Fosbury.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Dick Fosbury is quite right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So, Danny, you need to get this one.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06In 2016,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11which English man became golf's first Olympic champion since 1904?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Well, it wasn't Rory McIlroy, because he didn't go.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Look, I'm going to take a punt on this one.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Darren Clarke.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Darren Clarke is your answer,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25let me just check with your team-mates here, is he right?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28No idea.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Absolutely no idea.- They don't know.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31OK, Lisa?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Justin Rose.- Justin Rose is the answer.- Ah, Justin Rose!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So sorry, Danny, you've been knocked out by our Egghead there,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39which levels things up.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Please return to your teams and we'll play on.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47So, Seamingly Clueless, I'm afraid that's what it's like
0:18:47 > 0:18:50playing this lot. Danny, how did that feel?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- It's tough, wasn't it? - I tell you what, I'm exhausted.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Can I go and have a lie down, please?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I know it's all fun,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01but I can see in the booth, everybody gets that focus thing
0:19:01 > 0:19:03of they want to win. So, all right,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06you've lost a brain, Seamingly Clueless,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07the Eggheads have lost one, too.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We're in a perfect situation for a great contest here,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13and your next subject is Arts & Books.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Who would like this?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Go for it, mate.- Probably me.- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Me, I think.- OK.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's going to be Tom Dyckhoff,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23architecture critic, against which Egghead?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Now, you've tried them knocking out the bookends here,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28you've got to go for one of the three in the middle.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Dave, Steve, Kevin.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I like a bit of symmetry, so who are we going to knock out?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- I think Dave.- All right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I thought symmetry would mean taking out Steve in the middle.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I know, I know, but one by one, one by one,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- then we'll get the middle one. - I see the logic.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Tom from Seamingly Clueless to take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48as he's known, from the Eggheads.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51On Arts & Books, please go to the Question Room.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So, design is your thing, Tom.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yeah, exactly. In all its forms from the design of the city,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02right the way down to the design of an egg cup - all scales.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I was going to say, and the design of an Egghead studio,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08do you think we're a bit 21st century here or...?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11You're very postmodern, I think is the term. Very postmodern.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13You approve of our blues and all that?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I think the design of quiz show sets is a fascinating subject in its own
0:20:17 > 0:20:19right. I love all the kind of the clean lines.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It looks very Art Deco, kind of very like a cruise ship.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, I never thought that there's a design element, but of course there is.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Yes. And there's always a little bit of kind of gaffer tape that
0:20:28 > 0:20:31the people at home can't see. But we can.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Visible in HD, that's the trouble.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So how did you enjoy the Great Interior Design Challenge?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Because I watch... I always think going into homes and changing
0:20:39 > 0:20:42the inside of someone's bedroom is almost the most intimate thing
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- you can do.- Oh, it is. I'm a real nosy parker, that's why I love
0:20:46 > 0:20:49doing it, but to me your home is obviously the most intimate,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53the most personal piece of architecture and design you'll ever inhabit.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And yet it's so easy to change it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I mean, Piers spends all of his time changing the structure of people's
0:20:58 > 0:21:01lives, the buildings. We go in and it's more than rearranging
0:21:01 > 0:21:04the cushions but, you know, it's much more simple.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08We challenge our amateur designers with £1,000 and 48 hours and within
0:21:08 > 0:21:11that time they can change a room and they can change people's lives.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15We've seen people brought to tears because they finally got the bedroom
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- that they want.- Yes, I saw somebody got emotional about a headboard.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Exactly. We all get emotional about something. And, you know, got
0:21:22 > 0:21:25emotional about a headboard! I get emotional about chairs sometimes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Do you have any particular thing that you particularly love?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I'm thinking, when I walk into the old Broadcasting House,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32you'll know that reception,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35they rebuilt it as was in the '30s and they've done it Art Deco,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and although it is dated, it is beautiful.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Oh, yeah. If you spend money on architecture, it's going to last.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44It's always a key thing. Architecture...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Although Piers has shown us how he can do it on a budget,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49it's kind of expensive.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54We like to kind of increase people's access to it but you always spend
0:21:54 > 0:21:55money on good quality materials.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00You know, stone, brick, really good quality materials and craftsmanship.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Good advice. Good luck in this round, Tom.- I'm going to need it!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Arts & Books the subject against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Get it over and done with.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13And here we go. Arts & Books.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Your first question.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Which of these is a book by Roald Dahl?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, I actually know this one.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I've got two small kids so I know about children's books
0:22:27 > 0:22:30so this is something I know about. Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Is the right answer. Well done. Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Dave, your question. What is the opening line of Shakespeare's play
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Twelfth Night?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49If music be the food of love, play on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Absolutely right. If music be the food of love, play on,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- is the right answer.- Yeah. - Tom, back to you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55The Running Man,
0:22:55 > 0:23:01featuring a futuristic game show in which contestants are hunted down
0:23:01 > 0:23:03is a 1982 book by which author?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Science fiction is not my thing.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I'm pretty sure William Golding didn't write much in the way of
0:23:14 > 0:23:17science-fiction. Stephen King might have done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23But I'm going to go with Clive Barker.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27That's interesting. So 1982 book,
0:23:27 > 0:23:28it's by Stephen King.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Stephen King wrote The Running Man, not one of his best-known.- No.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37It was actually released under the name Richard Bachman and these days
0:23:37 > 0:23:40usually gets Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. But, yeah,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43that's the book on which the Schwarzenegger film of the same name
0:23:43 > 0:23:46is based. Right, so it wasn't one of his classic Stephen King horror
0:23:46 > 0:23:50franchise? No, he used another name for another genre but these days,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53obviously, they link it up for the sales.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- And it was made into a movie? - Yeah.- Dave, your question.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58In Oliver Twist,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01which character is described by Dickens on his first appearance
0:24:01 > 0:24:06as having two scowling eyes, one of which displayed various
0:24:06 > 0:24:10parti-coloured symptoms of having recently been damaged by a blow?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm not sure about this one at all.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I could go very wrong here.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I don't think it is Mr Brownlow.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Logic would normally take me to Fagin...
0:24:26 > 0:24:31..but "damaged by a blow" - because Bill Sykes was a bit of a bruiser -
0:24:31 > 0:24:32leads me more to Bill Sykes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Yeah, you know what, let's go Bill Sykes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40The answer is Bill Sykes.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44So, Dave takes the lead.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And it means, Tom, you need this to stay in.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49"What's it going to be then, eh?"
0:24:49 > 0:24:51is the opening line of which novel?
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Well, I don't think it's 1984, I've not read Moby Dick,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02but I've read A Clockwork Orange,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05but can I remember that being the opening line of A Clockwork Orange?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I'll go for A Clockwork Orange as a punt.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You're absolutely right, Tom, well done.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16A Clockwork Orange, well done.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Dave, you can take the round with this question.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24The Alan Ayckbourn play A Chorus Of Disapproval is based around
0:25:24 > 0:25:27rehearsals for an amateur production of what?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I didn't know which opera it was.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Oh, dear. It could be any of them.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39I'm going to go Albert Herring.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Albert Herring.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Do know this, Tom?- No, but I would punt on The Marriage of Figaro.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's neither. It's The Beggar's Opera.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- I would never have got that. - The Beggar's Opera.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50So after three questions, you're level.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52We go now to Sudden Death just to make it that bit harder,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54these questions are not multiple choice.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Tom, here's yours.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02TS Eliot's poem The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock ends with the words,
0:26:02 > 0:26:07"By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10"till human voices wake us and we..."
0:26:10 > 0:26:11What?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Oh, I should know this. I studied this at university.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Blimey.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17No idea.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20And I'm going to just say drown.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Drown is correct.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I was hoping that brown was...
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Maybe I'm a poet and I never know it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Yeah, I was hoping giving you the brown as the end of the line there,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm so pleased you got that. Well done. Great line as well.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Dave, to stay in.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Which famous Gothic novel of 1818 closes with the line -
0:26:38 > 0:26:42"He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance."?
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Frankenstein.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Frankenstein is correct.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Tom, the novel The Last of the Mohicans was first published
0:26:52 > 0:26:54in which century?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55The 19th century.
0:26:55 > 0:26:5619th is right.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Dave, in Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03HE LAUGHS
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- You don't like your Harry Potter. - No. Go on. Yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08In Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, the blood
0:27:08 > 0:27:11of which creature is said to keep you alive
0:27:11 > 0:27:14even if you are an inch from death
0:27:14 > 0:27:17but at a terrible price?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Me and... It was always going to catch up with me.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23The blood of which creature?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25No, not going to get anywhere near it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Dragon.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28No, a unicorn. You've been knocked out, Dave.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Tom, well done, you're in the final round.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Well done.- That was a close one. - Are you a Harry Potter fan?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've never seen any Harry Potter or read any Harry Potter
0:27:37 > 0:27:41so if I got that question, I'd be in exactly the same position.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And unicorn is not that guessable, is it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46So please come back to us. This is looking very good for our celebs now.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We'll play the last round before the final.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So, as it stands, Seamingly Clueless have lost one brain from the final
0:27:54 > 0:27:57round. The Eggheads have lost two, though. Dave has gone.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01One more round before the final and the subject for you is Science.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So, it's going to be Esme or Keith.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Do we have to flip a coin? - I am absolutely hopeless.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Anyone got a science background they can declare?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Doesn't look like it.- No, not really.- Doesn't look good.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14- I'll have a go.- Go on, Keith.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- I'll give it a go. - All right, brilliant.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And against which Egghead, Keith?
0:28:20 > 0:28:21You can have Steve or Kevin.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's difficult for me to advise.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I'd love to advise you but you can't avoid at some point meeting both
0:28:29 > 0:28:31of them, cos one of them is going to be left for the final.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34So, do you hurl yourself at Kevin, do you try and take out Steve?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- I don't know. - I'll hurl myself at Kevin.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38OK.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Always the best tactic. - Stand well back.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43So, Keith, from Seamingly Clueless
0:28:43 > 0:28:46gets Kevin on the potter's wheel from the Eggheads.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49To ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:28:49 > 0:28:50take your positions.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I'm wondering if you might be Britain's most famous potter, Keith?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Well, either me or maybe
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Grayson Perry.- That's true but The Great Pottery Throw Down
0:29:02 > 0:29:03with Sara Cox is very popular,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07and it has shown us how difficult it is just to make a cup or a bowl.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Well, it's a fantastic programme.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And obviously it's my passion,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and it is something that I've done all my life.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19And I just wanted to show people how cathartic...
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and the process of creativity,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26from this lump of clay to something remotely useful
0:29:26 > 0:29:28or something to look at.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30When it goes well for the contestants, you become tearful,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- which says it all.- I do, yes.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I do get rather emotional.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41I just love seeing them enjoy what they've made
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and just really see the whole success
0:29:45 > 0:29:47of the process that they've gone through.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48That's it for me, really.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51And how was it that you, as an 11-year-old, Keith,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54suddenly thought, "This is what I want to do"?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Well, my art teacher at school gave me a lump of clay, said,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01"Make something". I made my...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04My first thing I ever made was a pottery owl.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08I made this owl and he thought it looked wonderful.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10It was basically the first time anyone had told me I'd done anything
0:30:10 > 0:30:14really well, and I really just took to clay.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I love the substance,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I love the material,
0:30:18 > 0:30:19and I've loved it ever since.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I must mention your band, The Wigs, as well.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25I was looking up on YouTube the other day and there they were,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and it's you gigging and you're singing.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Yeah.- It's proper indie music.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32It was kind of a lifetime ago now.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Yeah, it was really good.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It was my university of life.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Good luck in this round. This all adds to the university of life.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41You're up against Kevin, Keith.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42He's very good.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Would you like to go first or second?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I shall go first, please, Jeremy.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52And here is your first question, Keith, good luck.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54The sun is at the centre of which of these?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Well, it's...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04..not the universe.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06The galaxy...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10No, I'm pretty sure it's the solar system.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Clue's in the name. Yes, the solar system is the right answer.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Kevin. What type of animal is a tapir?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Uh, it's...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Well, it's a mammal.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's a creature found in...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34I'm trying to remember now whether it's Africa or South America.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I think you find them in South America but I may be wrong there.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It's a rather strange-looking thing. Quite a rare one.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Mammal is right. Very good.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44OK, back to you, Keith.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Caspian and Javan are two now extinct types of which animal?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Caspian and Javan.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Well, I'm pretty sure it's not a penguin.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I would go for...
0:32:04 > 0:32:05..llama.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Llama is your answer. Let's check with the Challengers here.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Do you know?- I think it might be Tiger.- We think it's a tiger.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14There is a Javan tiger that has been written about.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- Tiger is the answer, not llama. - OK.- So sorry, Keith.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Kevin, your question. Which particle is often referred to
0:32:21 > 0:32:23as the God particle by the media?
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Well, there was a lot of publicity around this because it was something
0:32:33 > 0:32:37that had been searched for for about 50 years before it was finally,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40they think, detected, just a few years ago.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46There is an entity that's supposed to give mass to other particles.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47It's the Higgs Boson.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Higgs Boson is quite right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52So, Kevin take the lead. You've got to get this one right, Keith.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I'm kind of liking the fact that he gives more than the answer.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- I know.- It's kind of worrying.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We could go, sometimes... We just had the second paragraph.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03We can go paragraphs three, four, five and six if you...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Who was Higgs, Kevin?- Peter Higgs.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07He was a British scientist.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11He was one of the first couple of people to put forward the theory
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- that this thing existed.- Born when?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'm not sure about his birthday,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18but it was about 1964 when he put forward the theory,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20and of course it took another 50 years after that
0:33:20 > 0:33:23before it was found, and then he got the Nobel Prize.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- And who was Boson?- No, boson
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- is a category of particle.- Oh, OK.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- There we are, Keith, there's no end to it.- That's fantastic.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And it could go even further but we won't.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Here's your question to stay in.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Which famous astronomer, born in Hanover,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42was also an accomplished musician who wrote 24 symphonies?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Patrick Moore.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53There's the Halley's Comet.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56I'm going to go William Herschel.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- I'm glad you'd did. William Herschel is correct.- Yes!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Well done. The astronomer who was also a musician.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06All right, level, but Kevin has this question in hand.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Kevin, here we go.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Which English scientist, born in 1578, published his theory
0:34:11 > 0:34:16of how the heart propels blood in a circular course through the body
0:34:16 > 0:34:20in a work called Anatomical Study Of The Motion of the Heart
0:34:20 > 0:34:22And Of The Blood in Animals?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Yeah, well, he's the one who is credited with this, well,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34actually working out the system.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Although people had previously had ideas about some of it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It's William Harvey.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42And that's how they quiz. That's how they roll, Keith.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- I'm so sorry.- Great. - William Harvey is the right answer.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Great.- One of the all-time great quizzers there.- Fantastic.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Kevin, you're in the final. Keith, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54The Challengers have got a good shout in this final round.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Return to us, gentlemen, and we'll play it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00All right. Exciting contest, this.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It is time for our final round.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05As always, it is General Knowledge.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:35:08 > 0:35:10won't be in the final round,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14so that's Danny and Keith from Seamingly Clueless but also
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Dave and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Would you please now leave our studio?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Tom, Piers, Esme,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26you're playing to win Seamingly Clueless £9,000.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Lisa, Stephen, Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31which is the Eggheads' reputation and to keep defeating
0:35:31 > 0:35:34these celebrity teams, which you're doing at the moment.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41You are allowed to confer.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43So Seamingly Clueless, the question is,
0:35:43 > 0:35:46can your three brains defeat these three over here?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Esme, how are you feeling? - Oh, I feel really confident.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52THEY LAUGH
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Do you feel now like the contestants feel on the Great British Sewing Bee?
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Probably, yes.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- I'm wondering, the tables have turned slightly.- Absolutely, yes.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Indeed.- Good luck.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Tom, Piers, Esme, would you like to go first or second?
0:36:04 > 0:36:05First.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Here we go. At the start of a game of chess,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16the queen sits with the king on one side of her
0:36:16 > 0:36:18and which piece on the other?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- It is the...- Haven't a clue.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I do, sorry. Do you play chess?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Work it out.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30King and queen, castles are at the end,
0:36:30 > 0:36:34and then you have the knight.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Is the knight the one on the horse? - Yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- I think it's the bishop.- OK.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- I don't know, so...- Bishop. - The Bishop.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Bishop is correct. I can see how one could get suddenly confused by that.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- That's our Sports question. - Over-thinking it.- Yes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Let's hope so. - Eggheads, your first question.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58The word Kahuna, used in expressions such as the Big Kahuna,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01has its origins in the indigenous language of which US state?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Hawaii?- Was that Big Kahuna? Must be Hawaii.- Yeah.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Yes, Hawaii.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I think the Ks and Hs give it away, Jeremy. It's Hawaii.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Hawaii. What is Kahuna, do you know?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- The mountain, or...? - Might be more like a chief.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22A chief, yeah. You're pretty much right, a wise man or shaman.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Hawaii is the right answer.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Back to you, Challengers.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30You're doing well. Which famous song begins with the lines,
0:37:30 > 0:37:36"I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40"See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly."?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I Am The Walrus.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48I Am The Walrus.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- I Am The Walrus. Yes, you're right. I Am The Walrus.- Good, good, good.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Yes, yes.- Yes, yes, they say.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Eggheads, got a feeling about this contest.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I'm wondering if you might come unstuck.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Which European country's flag consists of a yellow sun
0:38:04 > 0:38:09with eight broadening rays extending to the edges of a red background?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15- ALL:- Macedonia. - Yeah?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Albania has got the...
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Big black thing...- ..eagle.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23And Serbia is a horizontal tricolour,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25which is also got a coat of arms on it.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- So, yeah, Macedonia.- We're all happy that's Macedonia, Jeremy.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Macedonia is quite right.
0:38:31 > 0:38:352-2. Now, this is important. This is your third question.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Get this right, you may not need to do any more work.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Get it wrong, it's in their hands.
0:38:41 > 0:38:47Which British fashion designer drove a tank to David Cameron's home
0:38:47 > 0:38:50in a protest against fracking in September 2015?
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Vivienne Westwood.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Oh, you know that.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Vivienne Westwood is correct.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Three out of three.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Will that be enough? Let's see. Eggheads,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12who wrote Hangover Square
0:39:12 > 0:39:16and the trilogy 20,000 Streets Under The Sky?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Read them both.- Patrick Hamilton. - It is, yeah. Brilliant writer.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I've read them both, Jeremy. Absolutely fantastic writer.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30It's Patrick Hamilton.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- That's annoying.- It is, isn't it?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Very.- Patrick Hamilton is correct.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Eggheads, 3-3.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41All right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42You know what this entails.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Yep.- I don't give you options.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Keep on keeping on. Are you going to be the first celebrity team to beat
0:39:47 > 0:39:49them after eight have fallen?
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Can you do it?
0:39:50 > 0:39:56In the UK, which patron saint's feast day is celebrated April 23rd?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59St George? Yeah, St George.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Is it?- Yeah.- St George.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04George is right. Well done. St George.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Eggheads, to stay in.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10What is the name of the letter that directly follows Delta
0:40:10 > 0:40:12in the classical Greek alphabet?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. - Yeah.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Epsilon.- That's Epsilon, Jeremy.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Epsilon is right.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Challengers...
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Seascape, A Delicate Balance and Three Tall Women
0:40:31 > 0:40:36are Pulitzer Prize-winning plays by which American playwright?
0:40:36 > 0:40:37- Do you know?- No, I don't.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Shall we have a guess?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Well, let's think of American playwrights.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- So it's Seascape... - Three Tall Women...
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- It's not something like... - Pulitzer Prize-winning.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- It's not Tennessee Williams or...? - No, I don't think so.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57It's not Arthur Miller?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- No. I get a bit sketchy after Arthur Miller.- Yeah, yeah.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06They sound like 1930s, don't they? That's the thing.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Can I look on my phone?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09We could but they've confiscated them!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Let's think of American playwrights.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Apart from Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Maybe we need to go for one of those?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- Cos that's all we know.- Exactly, I think we're going to have to.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Shall we try Arthur Miller?- Yeah.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27OK, let's give him a go.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28- OK.- It's not that, but...
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Arthur Miller.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Arthur Miller
0:41:31 > 0:41:34is the wrong answer. Let's just see. Eggheads?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Edward Albee.- Edward Albee. - Oh, you all say it.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Edward Albee was the answer, Challengers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It's in their hands now. Can they win?
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Your question. The 2016 novel Holding is the first novel
0:41:45 > 0:41:48written by which broadcaster and talk-show host?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Not a clue.- I think it might be Graham Norton.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58I'm not sure. He did write one in 2016 which was very well received.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Right.- That's the only problem I was having.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I couldn't remember anything about him having done it but if you're
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- happy with that, I'm happy with that.- I think so.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06- Yeah?- I think so.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- I'm not certain.- I've no idea. I'm not certain.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12If there are any other suggestions...
0:42:12 > 0:42:15But I know he did do one in 2016 which was very...
0:42:17 > 0:42:18..well received by the critics, I thought.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Better than anything I've got. Are you happy with that, Lisa?
0:42:21 > 0:42:22- I'm happy.- I may be wrong.- Yeah.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Kevin seems to think it's Graham Norton, so that is our answer.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29This troubled you a bit, didn't it, cos two of you had nothing on...
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Not a clue.- Nothing. Do you know this one?
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- I think it's Graham Norton. - I thought it was Jeremy Vine!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39If only! They would deliberately get it wrong if it was me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43The correct answer is...
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Graham Norton. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48You have won.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- We didn't disgrace ourselves. - No, not at all.- Well done.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55- Worthy winners.- Did you enjoy that?
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Well, we didn't disgrace ourselves so that's OK.- No!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00You did a 3-3 in final for heaven's sake.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- You were toe-to-toe.- I think however long it had gone on,
0:43:03 > 0:43:07we knew they were going to beat us in the end, so actually, you know...
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Honestly, there are questions where suddenly they draw a blank.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13I've seen it so many times. Listen, thank you so much for playing.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you. - I hope you had a good time.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Our commiserations to these brilliant celebs of Seamingly Clueless,
0:43:18 > 0:43:20who weren't clueless at all, by the way.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:43:23 > 0:43:24this winning streak continues.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27It does mean that the celebs haven't won the £9,000,
0:43:27 > 0:43:29so we'll take that money over to our next show.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30It's going to be 10,000.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Eggheads, congratulations.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Who will beat you?
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Join us next time to see if a new team of Celebrity Challengers
0:43:37 > 0:43:41have the brains to defeat the Eggheads for 10,000.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Until then, goodbye.
