0:00:06 > 0:00:09A lifetime's accumulation of beautiful artefacts
0:00:09 > 0:00:13from all over the world and from every era made by one man.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15This is the Burrell Collection.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18And today it's host to The Quizeum.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33You join us here in the magnificent courtyard
0:00:33 > 0:00:35of the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Sir William Burrell started collecting in his teens
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and it's been calculated that, on average,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46he acquired two new objects every week.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50That means 9,000 objects, and I'll be asking questions about them
0:00:50 > 0:00:53over the next four rounds. And it's time to meet our teams.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57On my right, a regular and very welcome visitor to the Quizeum,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59historian Professor Kate Williams.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Making up a formidable team is another regular on the series,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06art historian Dr Janina Ramirez.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Leading out the opposition is another Quizeum regular -
0:01:09 > 0:01:12master of all things Chinese, the great Dane, Lars Tharp.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Joining him, a newcomer to us, but I'm sure not to anyone else,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17novelist, producer, presenter,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20chair of the governors at the Glasgow School of Art
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and a Scottish national treasure herself, Muriel Gray.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Muriel, this museum is practically a spare room for you, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Oh, yeah, we're never out of here, really - I mean, we camp.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32But it's an astonishing collection.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I can't give any points for this,
0:01:34 > 0:01:39but how much of this collection is on display here?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42There's lots still not on display.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Only a quarter is on display and the rest is in storage.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50But they've created cabinets that can be reused for other artefacts.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, we must get on with the quiz and have a look at what we have.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56In round one, we start with a question open to both teams.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59If you can answer it, it gets you a crack
0:01:59 > 0:02:01at a specialist question just for you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04And if you can't answer it, it goes across to the other side.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Let's enter the collection and see what we have here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11First, have a look at this. Fingers on the buzzers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12BUZZER
0:02:12 > 0:02:15It's behind us. Yes, OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I'm fascinated by this because I haven't delivered any question
0:02:18 > 0:02:22of any kind whatsoever, but you have an answer. We have a buzzer.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23What is the answer?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26You're only allowed to give me one answer. Oh, no!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Is it Hornby Castle? No.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29OK, so you get the full question.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And we've given them some information.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36What country does this portico come from?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Are we going France or England? I'd go for France.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK. France, I'm afraid not. It's English.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46So, OK, can you tell me, fingers on the buzzers again,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48which county it comes from?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Yorkshire. Correct.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53This is the portico to Hornby Castle which is near Wensleydale.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55So, Nina and Kate, you get one point for that,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and also first crack at this specialist question -
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and it's another of these magnificent doors.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And for another two points, can you tell me
0:03:04 > 0:03:09a connection between these doors and Citizen Kane.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Oh, is it Hearst? Ah, yes. Hearst, yes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Burrell bought an awful lot of stuff from William Hearst,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the great American massive collector.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22And this was one of the things he bought.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I believe he was going to put it into his house or garden,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and then our lovely Burrell bought it. You're halfway there.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32What about Citizen Kane, Nina? Citizen Kane was based on Hearst.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Citizen Kane, the film, was based on William Randolph Hearst.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yeah, two points for that.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Burrell bought these doors in crates from the estate
0:03:40 > 0:03:43of William Randolph Hearst, the American newspaper magnate,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45who was the model for the Orson Welles character.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48But it's possible that neither Hearst nor Burrell
0:03:48 > 0:03:51actually ever saw these door cases.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Hearst kept them in crates in a warehouse in Wales
0:03:55 > 0:03:57and presumably nobody unpacked them
0:03:57 > 0:04:02until this museum was built 30 years after Burrell's death.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05A sort of tycoons' pass the parcel.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11"What have I got here? Oh, we've got a whole castle door. How fantastic!"
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Burrell knew what he was getting. He knew they were doors
0:04:14 > 0:04:15and he planned them for this museum.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18But Burrell did live with many of his other purchases.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22In fact, there are reconstructions of his private rooms here at the museum.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25So, fingers on the buzzers. Have a look at this.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's called a suzani.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Burrell used this square as a bedspread,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35but what should it have been used for?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Covering a dining table.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38No. Dammit!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40So, what should it be?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Burrell used them as bedspreads. What should they be used for?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45A bed canopy? Not a bed canopy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47In fact, they were used as wall hangings.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And now we're getting to another question on this object.
0:04:51 > 0:04:59Let's have a go. So, how are these things made?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00BUZZER
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Is it like carpets with knots across a weft and warp?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Not with knots, no.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Embroidered? Embroidered. One point for that.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12They are embroideries, massive embroideries,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and they are made with chain stitch or couch stitch
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and they take forever to make because each part of it is embroidered.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That first example was from Bukhara in Uzbekistan,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23this one is from Nurata.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28So, for your specialist follow-up question, worth two points,
0:05:28 > 0:05:33why would a maiden be on the road for this?
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Marriage, I would think. It sounds like a marriage. A dowry?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43that's specially constructed for the bride?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Maybe for the sedan chair, perhaps.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Actually, you were very close to it there, Muriel,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50you use a word which is very important.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52A dowry? They were made as dowries,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55and from the very earliest ages,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59young girls were set to work to sew these as part of their dowry.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01But what is the road we are talking about?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Silk Road. The Silk Road, well done, yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Don't be so patronising! It's really great.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13So we are talking about... No, it's really important, because the suzani
0:06:13 > 0:06:18was a product of major towns along the Silk Road.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20This one is really fascinating
0:06:20 > 0:06:24because this one is indeed part of a bed sheet.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28And what's missing from the one that Burrell collected
0:06:28 > 0:06:31is the central part, which was left as cambric
0:06:31 > 0:06:35and was part of a bed sheet for an actual bridal evening,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39and then would be brought out the following day
0:06:39 > 0:06:41to illustrate that what was wanted had happened.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah. He's so coy!
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Anyway, these here, in this museum, are some of the finest examples
0:06:47 > 0:06:51of these early 18th century embroideries in the world.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53And I'm sure that when he took them off the bed,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Burrell remembered to do them on a cold wash.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Now, fingers on buzzers again.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03For our next starter object,
0:07:03 > 0:07:08where on a building would you expect to find this pottery figure?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10BUZZER
0:07:10 > 0:07:13On the roof. Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's a Chinese Ming Dynasty roof tile.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20You get one point for that. Kate and Nina, your specialist question.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Look at this.
0:07:21 > 0:07:28A diamond is forever, but why could jade be for ever after?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Ah, right, yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35So, Jade is particularly prized in China
0:07:35 > 0:07:39because of the fact that it was seen to be able to defy time.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42So there's that sense of immortality that comes with it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44And what's very important is that if you died,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48they would use jade to plug your orifices, as it were,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51and sometimes even put a jade insect on your tongue
0:07:51 > 0:07:53to make sure you never decompose.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So jade makes you live for ever.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58So, is that something like a tongue plug?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Excellent. Well done, everybody,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02because the cicada was indeed made for the mouth.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Burrell had no personal connections with China,
0:08:05 > 0:08:11but from 1911 to 1957, he bought Chinese ceramics every single year.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I can see Lars is salivating over there at the very idea.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Almost a quarter of this entire collection is Chinese art.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But he also bought, and sometimes commissioned, paintings,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23like this one.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Now, why is this woman
0:08:27 > 0:08:29one of the boys?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31BUZZER
0:08:31 > 0:08:35This woman is, I believe, Burrell's favourite sister,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37and she is painted by John Lavery,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39who was one of the Glasgow Boys
0:08:39 > 0:08:43who Burrell was particularly fond of collecting.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47He loved the Glasgow Boys, who were a set of Glasgow artists
0:08:47 > 0:08:49who were particularly fond of naturalism.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53They weren't all from Glasgow, but they were absolutely amazing.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59In fact, Lavery was very famous in his latter years
0:08:59 > 0:09:02for painting massive portraits of millions of people.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But he nearly didn't become a painter
0:09:04 > 0:09:07because his family didn't want him to do it at all.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09But as you can see, we're very glad he did.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And he was born, in fact, in Belfast.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Kate and Nina, you've earned a specialist question.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Here is the Empress Eugenie
0:09:15 > 0:09:17on the beach in Trouville.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20OK, how did the painter of this
0:09:20 > 0:09:22make an impression for Impressionism?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24This is Boudin, I believe.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And what's very striking about this picture
0:09:26 > 0:09:28is that he says it's the Empress Eugenie,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31but it's impossible to tell who is the Empress
0:09:31 > 0:09:34out of this collection of women, it could be any woman.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So he's really the forerunner of the Impressionists
0:09:36 > 0:09:38because it's not about who's there,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40but about the whole look of the painting.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I can give you one point, but there's an extra point to be gained
0:09:43 > 0:09:44and I'll hand it over. What is that?
0:09:44 > 0:09:49He was a great advocate of painting en plein air.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Yes. And that led to the Impressionists who followed him,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56following his example. But the Glasgow boys, of course,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58were also famous for painting en plein air.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00En plein air - or painted in the open air.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02One point.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06So, you'll also find here French masters from the 18th century,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09but also works by Memling and Cranach,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12because Burrell seemed to love the sombre world
0:10:12 > 0:10:15of what we might call "northern soul".
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Late Gothic and early north European Renaissance.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Have a look at this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25First to answer correctly will get a two-pointer question.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Which of the Ten Commandments
0:10:27 > 0:10:31is illustrated in this stained-glass window?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Oh, gee! Thou shalt not kill.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37No, not "thou shalt not kill".
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So the question goes over to the girls, I'm afraid.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Bear false witness? Ah, well done!
0:10:43 > 0:10:48You picked it up again. Yes, it is, thou shalt not bear false witness.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I like the smirk on the face of the liar.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55There are more than 600 panels of stained glass here.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Here's another one to look at.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00This is Princess Cecily, daughter of Edward IV of England.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Kate and Nina, for your specialist question,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07why does silver become gold?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Well, up until this point, up until about the 14th century,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12you could only have sections of glass
0:11:12 > 0:11:15that were joined together in different colours.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, bits of gold, bits of red, bits of blue.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19But with silverpoint,
0:11:19 > 0:11:24you managed to create this effect, a silver stain, if you like,
0:11:24 > 0:11:29on the glass, which comes out gold and then you can paint onto that.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So it allows for greater detail. Indeed.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Silver chloride or sulphide is added to the glass to get a yellow colour.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Well, there we are. We've come to the end of that round, our opening round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's time to look at the scores.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Well, Lars and Muriel, you've done very well with four points.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But not quite as well as Kate and Nina
0:11:49 > 0:11:52who have gone surging ahead with ten points. No! No!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54All right, wait a minute, very early days yet.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Calm down, because we've got other rounds to go.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Everything could change as we move on to our next round -
0:12:00 > 0:12:02a question of attribution.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Each team has been given a rather curious object
0:12:04 > 0:12:06from the Burrell Collection.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Both members are going to offer an explanation of what it is,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but only one is actually true.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And there are three points in it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15So, Lars, let's start with you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21And can we have the object in front of the team on the right here?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So there it is, mysterious, rather beautiful.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Lars, will you start by telling us what it is?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29It's Chinese.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33The Chinese refer to it as an ear cup,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36because it's got ears, as you can see.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's for drinking wine,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and the Chinese enjoyed their wine -
0:12:42 > 0:12:44so much so that they had a little game
0:12:44 > 0:12:46at the end of a dinner party
0:12:46 > 0:12:49when they might take a cup,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52fill it with wine and stick it onto a little river
0:12:52 > 0:12:57and whoever picked the cup up had to compose a poem.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02So a Chinese ear cup, and it may have been found in a grave.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05OK, all right.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Muriel, you have a different account of what it is.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I do, it is not Chinese, it's Roman.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12It was used in ceremonies,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16religious ceremonies, when the Romans visited oracles,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18when they went to the temples of say, for instance,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Apollo, Juno, whatever,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22because they believed that the gods
0:13:22 > 0:13:27could speak to them better if this was cupped behind the ear.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29They thought it amplified the Oracle's words
0:13:29 > 0:13:33and it was a very sacred object, so it's an astonishing thing to have,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34but it's Roman and not Chinese.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36OK, so there we are.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42A Roman ear cup or a Chinese ear cup.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48A gauntlet that has been thrown down, it's obviously related to anatomy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52We don't know which part or which one - which era.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's earthenware, it's clay,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57cos you can sort of see it through there. The glaze.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59And my concern is that the Romans didn't glaze with this
0:13:59 > 0:14:02iridescent affect, I didn't think.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The Chinese are supposed to have put forward the idea of...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07The Chinese were the glazers, yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh, the iridescence happens when the thing is in the ground,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12it wasn't a glaze proper.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20OK, I think it's time to ask you, if I may, to professor and doctor,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23if you would just make up your mind and give us an opinion.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24All right, we're going to dive in there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yeah, we think we're going to say that Lars is telling the truth.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30You think it's a Chinese ear cup.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Lars, are you telling the truth?
0:14:32 > 0:14:39It's a Chinese pottery ear cup, based on a lacquer original
0:14:39 > 0:14:43dating to the Han Dynasty, between 200 BC and 200 AD,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45found in a grave.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It is a floating cup that was released on a river in ancient China.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You put a drink in it and passed it down the river,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54as it were, to a friend. What a nice idea, I like that.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And people actually still do a very similar thing
0:14:56 > 0:14:59on the banks of the River Clyde today,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01with Irn-Bru and vodka.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, Griff!
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Now, let's have a look at Kate and Nina's object
0:15:07 > 0:15:08coming in now from the vaults.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17So, Kate, would you like to give us your explanation for these objects?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Well, these are part of a horse bridle, these are the cheek pieces
0:15:20 > 0:15:25and they're obviously of cast bronze, very beautifully decorated.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31And they are Chinese - they go back to, we think, the eighth century BC
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and they are from the Eastern Zhou period
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and are obviously very beautiful.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39They were just whispering amongst themselves. We are just whispering!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Can I just say, I have no idea whether they were whispering
0:15:42 > 0:15:46about your delivery or style of delivery, with Lars giving Muriel
0:15:46 > 0:15:50a few hints saying, "She's got a tell! When she fiddles with her hair,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53"she's telling a lie," or whatever. I don't know.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Anyway, like a game of poker, this.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Nina, you've got a different explanation for what these are.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I have, yes. I really like these, because they're coming out
0:16:01 > 0:16:04of the Romanesque period, they're 11th century,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07made in northern Europe, probably around Germany.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11And they are the fittings for a cauldron.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16So you can see that there are these lovely hook areas,
0:16:16 > 0:16:21but the thing that's really interesting is the bird decoration.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The Romanesque artists were fascinating
0:16:23 > 0:16:26because they didn't really do figural, they liked abstract,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27particularly animal imagery,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and so that beautiful bird there I just think is lovely.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34And that's an adornment for the front of the cauldron.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35OK, thank you very much.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So they are the adornments to a cauldron or possibly
0:16:38 > 0:16:41they are part of the bridle of a horse. Muriel?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Well, I think... Where are you coming from?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I have looked underneath it and, of course,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49if it was part of a cauldron, you wouldn't have these very intricate
0:16:49 > 0:16:52little hooks and eyes underneath, so why would they have been there
0:16:52 > 0:16:55if they were attaching to a cauldron? So I'm going for the...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57because there's very complicated under-pieces here,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00where straps would have gone through. Yeah. Very beautiful.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's not a cauldron.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Stylistically, these are far more Asian than Germanic,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07so I'm going for the horses one, like you are.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yeah, I'm going for the horse.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15OK, so, Nina, was it a horse bridle?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'm afraid I was the NEIGH and she was the yea. It was a horse bridle.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, well, it's a horse bridle.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, after unpicking those tangled webs of deception,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27our scores look like this.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Muriel and Lars. Yes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Yes. You've got seven points. Kate and Nina, you have 13.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Still staying well ahead, but we've got a new round to look at now.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39We're off to look at some exhibits in close up and to do that,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm going to take each team on a guided tour.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Lars and Muriel, you're up first.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48OK, let's make our way here
0:17:48 > 0:17:52to what is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces
0:17:52 > 0:17:56here in the collection, and I'm asking you
0:17:56 > 0:18:00to make a connection with this a photograph here.
0:18:00 > 0:18:08Now, the photograph was taken in 1898 for a trial.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I've got five clues I can give you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15But for every clue I give you, obviously I diminish the number
0:18:15 > 0:18:18of points you might eventually be able to make.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22So who's going to start? It's obviously a Cezanne, but...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25OK, wait a minute, that's one point there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So first of all, it may seem obvious, but...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30We've got a point!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Phil, Muriel, tell me a bit more what you mean.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34"It's obviously a Cezanne." Go on!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This is where it falls down!
0:18:37 > 0:18:41This is... Let's think about this. Now, who...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I need my specs for this.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Well, this is just after he was arrested, isn't it? It's a mug shot.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It does look like a mug shot.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So who was it who was arrested?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54The only crime involving art I can think of
0:18:54 > 0:18:58at the end of the 19th century was the theft of the Mona Lisa.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's not an art crime, no.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02No, OK, us a clue. OK. Well...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05That means we will lose a point. One point down. Come on.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09This is Emile Zola. Oh! Ah. OK.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12The famous trail he was involved with,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16which actually led to him writing a book, was J'accuse,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18which was Monsieur Dreyfus,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21who was actually stripped publicly of his rank
0:19:21 > 0:19:23before being sent to Devil's Island,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27and then Zola, realising that he was absolutely innocent,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30set about a public campaign.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It split France absolutely down the middle.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Very familiar in Scotland right now.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Yes! But does it sound plausible to you, Muriel, this story?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Or is he making it up? I'm loving it. Just let him be.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43OK, all right, good.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46That's about as far as my A Level history,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48which is now stretching back 40 years...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But your A Level history is doing you very well,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54because that in fact is indeed what we are looking at here.
0:19:54 > 0:20:01In 1898, Zola published an article in a newspaper, J'accuse,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04in the newspaper L'Aurore, and this was...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09..an assault on the French establishment,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13particularly the Army, and he was promptly arrested for defamation.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17So now we've got the end of the story, if you like. Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22What do you suppose was the connection between Cezanne and Zola?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27As little boys... No!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30..they had grown up together in Aix. Shut up!
0:20:30 > 0:20:35It's an astonishing story. So they were great friends.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Cezanne painted this picture of Zola's house.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Oh, it... Oh! Do you know anything about...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46There is an ultimate irony in this. Oh, the ultimate irony...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Right, let's go over the facts you just gave us.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Irony perhaps is too strong a word for it,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54but there's an ultimate development that links the whole story together.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55You won't guess that if you don't know.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00That Chateau is now the museum of the Affaire Dreyfus. Oh, right!
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Do we get an extra point for saying that it was - J'accuse was the book?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'm going to give you, in total, three out of your five points.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Four for a good accent? FRENCH ACCENT: J'accuse.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14He could have just said ja-cuze, but he said J'accuse. Non?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Non. Non, I think three is very fair!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And now it's Nina and Kate's turn.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Come this way.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Position yourselves, if you would, ladies.
0:21:26 > 0:21:34We're going to look at what is a magnificent wooden exhibit. Yes.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39We want you to connect it to this photograph.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I have five points to give you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44In order to get those five points,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48you have to do that without getting clues from me. No clues.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So we don't want clues. We can do it without them.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53First of all, you can tell me what it is.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Well, this is brilliant,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58this is the bedhead made for Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Tell me how we know it is the bedhead?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Well, I think what we've got here, we have the crown above
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and then the intertwined initials H and A,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11which I think is standing for Henry and Anne of Cleves.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14How do you know it's Anne of Cleves and not Anne Boleyn?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Because this refers to Henry
0:22:16 > 0:22:19in the position that he was when he married Anne of Cleves,
0:22:19 > 0:22:20so this is him as...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's referring to him as the Protector of the Church of England.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25And it's dated.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK. Where is the date? Here.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So 1539?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33And of course he executed Anne Boleyn in 1536,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35so it can't be hers.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39What indicators do we have of what this actually...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42was - I'm not going to say "was used for" -
0:22:42 > 0:22:43but what WAS it used for?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47We can see here we've got a gentleman here who we might presume
0:22:47 > 0:22:50is Henry, you've got a lady here you might presume is Anne,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53and these are their children, so the idea of this bedhead
0:22:53 > 0:22:55is it's supposed to create good luck,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and for Henry, and all royals, that means fertility.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00So here were the children that using this bed
0:23:00 > 0:23:03is supposed to create. Unfortunately, it didn't,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06as Henry didn't really want to do anything exciting with Anne at all.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yes, I don't think... Why not?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11He didn't find her attractive once she arrived.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Apparently she didn't smell too good either.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So he said he wanted to annul the marriage,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18but what was great about Anne was that she didn't fight.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21And I think, of all of the wives, she came off best. She did.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23She managed to, er...
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, I think that probably links us onto what we're looking at.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'm going to ask you, Nina,
0:23:28 > 0:23:33come over to me here and tell us now, how is that connected?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Now, I don't know exactly which building this is... No.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37..but I know that Anne of Cleves,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I know that she was left a number of properties
0:23:40 > 0:23:44as part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Oh, you're quite right there,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49so you've got your fourth point there,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53because this indeed was a castle which was given to her
0:23:53 > 0:23:55as part of the annulment.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01But which castle was it, and why is there an irony in this?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04There's two in particular that she was given, which are very exciting.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07One was Oatlands and one was Hever... Hever!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10..and my suggestion is this one is possibly Hever
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and what's ironic about that
0:24:12 > 0:24:15is it was Anne Boleyn's childhood heritage property,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so it's this awful irony that Anne Boleyn lost her head
0:24:18 > 0:24:21and Anne of Cleves got her house.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24That's spectacular, that's five complete points.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We seem to have covered everything.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I think we should go back and rejoin the others.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Well, here we are, back again, and we just need to recap,
0:24:37 > 0:24:42because, in that expedition, Lars and Muriel, you scored three points,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44well done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45But...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Kate and Nina...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52got all five of their points. Oh, for pity's sake!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Sorry. Honestly!
0:24:54 > 0:24:58So, as we enter our final round... You swots!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01..Kate and Nina are in the lead with 18
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and Muriel and Lars have a little bit to make up at ten -
0:25:03 > 0:25:06but that could happen, because fingers on the buzzers,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09because this is the quickfire round -
0:25:09 > 0:25:12one point for a correct answer and if nobody gets it, we move on.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Have a look at this.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17This is an English alabaster object.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Where was it made? BUZZER
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Nottinghamshire.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Nottinghamshire, well done, Lars. Have a look at this.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's a Dutch painting and a Japanese print.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29What do they have in common? BUZZER
0:25:29 > 0:25:31They're both self-portraits. They are both self-portraits.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Rembrandt and the Japanese artist Hokusai.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Fingers on the buzzers again.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40There are two royal characters from the Old Testament here. Who are they?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42BUZZER
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Is that Solomon and the Queen of Sheba?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Correct.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50What injury has the cherub here just suffered?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52BUZZER Bee stings.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56A bee sting, correct. Here is a couple of accoutrements.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58In which sport would they be used? BUZZER
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Hawking. Falconry. Sorry!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Yes. Correct.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Have a look at this. Who's learning to walk here?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06BUZZER
0:26:06 > 0:26:10This is Mary with Joachim and Anne. Kate, you're quite right, it's Mary.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Look at these.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14What accomplishment were these... BUZZER
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Archers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Archers or archery, yes. Here is a pot.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20What drink would you pour out of it?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22BUZZER Hot chocolate.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Hot chocolate, well done.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28This is a Bellini, where did he live and work?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29BUZZER Venice?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Venice, correct.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Burrell collected quite a few of these rather charming wooden objects.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38What is the... BUZZER
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Looks like a wassail cup. No, that's not the answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I'm going to come over to you
0:26:42 > 0:26:45to say what is the collective name for this work?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47BOTH: Treen. Treen, correct.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50This is Toft Ware,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54but what is the bird doing here? BUZZER
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's a pelican and it's breaking its breast and feeding
0:26:57 > 0:27:00its young with blood. So it represents Jesus.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Blood, yes, indeed, well done.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06What is the event supposed to be represented here?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09BUZZER Oh, I know this!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's about Hercules, is it the coronation...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14No, the Olympians. Yeah, the opening of the Olympics.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17But it's actually the family of the Duke of Burgundy,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Philip the Good, that's represented.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yes, of course it is, it's the opening of the original...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Can we have some difficult ones?(!)
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It's the opening of the original Olympics
0:27:28 > 0:27:32as perceived in Burgundy in 1450.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Of course! What sort of person wore this and when?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38BUZZER
