These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
And taking on our awesome quiz champions today... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
This team are all friends from Sheffield | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
and four of them are active members of the student-run charity Bummit. Let's meet them. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Hi, I'm Iain. I'm 24 and I work in application management support. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi. I'm Waleed, I'm 21 and I'm a post-graduate science communication student. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi. I'm Heather, I'm 21 and I study chemistry. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi. I'm Adam, I'm 22 and I'm a bio-medical science student. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
Hi. I'm Rich, I'm 24 and I'm an earth sciences student. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-So, Iain and team, welcome to you. -Hi, there. -Hi. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Tell us about Bummit. Brilliant name, by the way. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-Am I pronouncing it right? -Yeah. -It's not "Boomit", or anything? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-No. -It's properly Bummit? -It's a pun on "It's a bummer." | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
-To bum it. -Yeah. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
We're the world's largest, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
supposedly, the world's largest student-run hitchhiking organisation. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
So as well as doing other things, you're raising money via Bummit. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
-Last year, we raised £87,000. -Tremendous! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Tremendous. And you met at the same university? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-Yeah. -OK. Do you quiz together at all? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-Few and far between! -Few and far between. OK. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
Good luck, guys. All the best against these extraordinary quizzers here. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
But you never know what moods you'll find them in. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
If they're feeling weak, you can take them. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
So, Techno Prisoners, the Eggheads have won the last 26 games, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
which means the jackpot is... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-Would you like to have a go at winning it? -Hopefully. -Yes, please. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of sport. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
Which Techno Prisoner would like this? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
It's either you or Iain, isn't it? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
-Yeah. -I'll take it. -Yes? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-We think Rich would be our best candidate for that. -Rich on Sport. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Against? Who looks poor compared to Rich? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
I'm torn between taking someone decent in now... | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
They're all incredible! | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
On Sport, I'm going to take Kevin in. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
OK. That's an interesting strategy. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
So Rich from Techno Prisoners against Kevin from the Eggheads on Sport. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
To make sure there's no conferring, would you go to the question room? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Rich, are you looking forward to this, Sport? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
A little bit. It could go either way, so we'll see. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
You're obviously doing a bit of tactics here. Do you watch the programme? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
A little bit too much, I think, yes. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Is it addictive when you watch it from the outside? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
It definitely can be. When you're rushing home to watch it, I think you probably need to slow down! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
Don't slow down. Keep rushing. We like that. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
So, Sport. Rich, would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
I would like to go second, please. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Kevin, your question, then. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
In motor racing, which phrase is used to describe air | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
which has not been affected by turbulence from other cars? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
I'm not a great Formula One fan in terms of watching it very much. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:43 | |
I'm sure this is probably the sort of phrase that's used on the broadcasts. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
But it's not one I've come across. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Well, the logical one there, I suppose, is clean air, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
so I'll try that. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
Clean air is right. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Ooh, that was exciting, Rich. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
I thought you were going to tip him up at the first moment. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Yeah. Wish I'd gone first, now! | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Well, let's see. You almost got Kevin with that question. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
How many times did Martina Hingis win the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles title? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Martina Hingis was a big name in women's tennis. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
I'd say it's more than one. Seven times champion, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
I think numbers like that have only been drawn towards the Williams sisters. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
So I'm more inclined to go with four. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
-Kevin, do you know? -I think it's just once. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
It is just the once, Rich. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
So you got it wrong. Just the once. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Kevin, your question. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
In 2006, Charlotte Edwards became the official England women's team captain in which sport? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
Yes, I think she finally called it a day around the beginning of 2013 | 0:04:52 | 0:04:59 | |
after the last World Cup. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
And it's cricket. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Cricket is correct. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Rich, your question. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
The Cibi is a war dance | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
performed by which country's rugby team before the start of a match? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
By the way, that's spelt C-I-B-I. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
Cibi. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
Right. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Um, I know people will be fine with the... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
The only countries I associate dances before a sporting event with | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
tend to be the Pacific islands. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
But for some reason I'm torn between Fiji and Argentina, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
but I'm going to go with Fiji because of the Pacific island connection. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
Excellent answer. Fiji is correct. Well done. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Woo! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
So you have a point. You need Kevin to slip up here or he's got three in a row and he's in the final. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
Kevin, your question. At the first Winter Olympics in 1924, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
in which sport did Great Britain win their only gold medal? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
I don't think - I may be wrong - | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
but I don't think either of the others were in the Winter Olympics at that stage, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
so I'm going to go for curling. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
You think luge and speed skating were not... | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
Came later. I'm not so certain about luge. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
I'm pretty sure speed skating was a later addition. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
You said curling. The answer is curling. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Kevin, you've taken the round. Rich, I'm sorry. You're knocked out. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
But it's still early days for your team. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Come back to us. We'll play on. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Techno Prisoners have lost a brain from the final round. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
But don't worry. There's much that can be done, and it's a gigantic jackpot. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
The next subject is Arts & Books. Who would like this? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Fresh from university - perfect subject! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
I'll take it. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-OK. Heather. -Yep. -And which Egghead do you fancy taking on here? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
I think the stronger one is probably Judith. Dave, Judith. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
-I'd probably go with Dave. -I'll take Dave on, please. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Heather, from Techno Prisoners, versus Dave from the Eggheads. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
See the disappointment in Daphne's face? She loves to play! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
She loves to play. She smiles, like the Lorelei, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-we were saying. -Yes. -The sirens who lured sailors to their death! | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
So you've done well to avoid her. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Heather, tell us more about Bummit, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
the charity that brought you together. It's hitchhiking, right? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Yep. Last year, we hitchhiked from Sheffield to Sofia in Bulgaria. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
We had just about eight days to do that. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
It was 400 students. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
You get sponsorship for that and where does the money go at the end? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
It goes to a variety of charities. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Some internationally, and some Sheffield-based. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
But it covers children and women's shelters and homeless shelters. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
So it covers a wide range of different charities. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Tremendous. Good luck in this round. Arts & Books, Heather. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-You can choose whether you want to go first or second. -Can I go first, please? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
Here is your question. Filius Flitwick is the head of which house at Hogwarts | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
in the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Well, I'm a big Harry Potter fan, so this is quite apt. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
I know that Slytherin's head of house is Professor Snape | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
and Gryffindor is Professor McGonagall, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
-so the answer is Ravenclaw. -Ravenclaw is the right answer. Well done, Heather. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
Your question, Dave. In which decade was the novel Nicholas Nickleby first published? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
Well, it's written by Charles Dickens, so it's 1812 to 1870. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
That's the timescale he had to do that. So I presume it's the 1830s. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
1830s is the right answer, Dave. Well done. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Back to you, Heather. Second question. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
The 2012 novel Standing in Another Man's Grave | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
saw the reappearance of which fictional detective | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
after five years? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:16 | |
OK. I'm completely stumped on this one. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
I'm going to have a stab in the dark and go for Charlie Resnick. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
Let's see. Eggheads, do you know? Daphne, you'll know this. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
I'm afraid it's John Rebus. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Your favourite detective, isn't it? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
-Daphne's favourite tec, John Rebus, Heather, is the answer. -OK. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
OK, Dave, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
what nationality were the artists Pieter de Hooch and Aelbert Cuyp? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
They're Dutch artists. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Brilliant, Dave. Well done. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Heather, your question now. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
You need to get this one right to stay in. Get it wrong, you're out. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
Miss Lala at the Cirque Fernando, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
depicting a Parisian acrobat | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
is an 1879 painting by which artist? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
OK. I'm going to go for Renoir. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
It's actually Degas. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-OK. -It is Degas. Sorry, you've got two wrong and there's no way back. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
So "Tremendous Knowledge Dave" is in the final. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
You've having a good run, Dave. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Well, all good runs will come to an end, but I'm enjoying it at the moment! | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Not today. You've done well. Heather, sorry, you've been knocked out. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-So, Techno Prisoners, you've lost a couple. -Unfortunately, yes. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
Rich is your main tactician. Rich, what's going wrong? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
I haven't a clue! | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
That might be the problem! | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
Not answering questions. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
There's loads of time to turn it round. We've seen teams win with only one. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
So have a crack at the next subject, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
which I think should be up your street. Science. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Who is the scientist? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-You've got one at least. -We've got three! -Three scientists! | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
But that will be me, I think, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
if everyone agrees. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
OK, Adam on Science against Judith, Pat or Daphne? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
Which one? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Rich is saying Judith. -Rich is saying Judith. -You don't have to take my answer or word of it. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-But I think I agree. -OK. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-Can I go head-to-head with Judith, please? -Yes, by all means. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
So Adam from Techno Prisoners versus Judith from the Eggheads on Science. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Let's see what happens. To ensure no conferring, can you go to the question room? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Science is the subject. Adam, you can choose to go first or second. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
Your first question. Ferrum is the Latin name for which metal? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
I know for certain that this is iron. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
So I won't use any logic. It's iron. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Spot on. Iron is correct. Well done. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Judith, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
what do the human body's lachrymal glands principally produce? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
If I don't win this round, I will produce tears. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
Your lachrymal glands will be working, you think? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
They will stop functioning. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
OK. That's better than saliva, I suppose! | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
I'll spit! | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
Yes, it's the right answer. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Sort of a relief, really! | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Adam, your question. See if you can pull clear of the Egghead. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
What type of sub-atomic particle | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
is named after a 20th-century Indian physicist? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
I think that Bosons and Mesons are more wild particles | 0:12:53 | 0:13:00 | |
that have been discovered more recently than the 20th century. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
I think Fermion is... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
I think... I think I'll go for Fermion. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Sorry, you're wrong with Fermion. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:14 | |
Boson it was. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Judith, your question to pull ahead. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
In certain creatures, the Jacobson's organ is used for what? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
I think that's the thing that cats have. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
Their sort of sixth sense in the roof of their mouths. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And it's for smelling. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
And when they do it, they open their mouths a little bit, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
just like that, and they're smelling. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
They are smelling. You are right. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Smelling it is. The Jacobson's organ. OK. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
I hope you can't smell defeat here, Adam! | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
You need to get this one right. Here's your question. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
What type of creature, Adam, is a smooth hound? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
The first thing I thought was a dog, and obviously that is not there! | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
Animals are definitely not my strong point. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Smooth hound. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
It sounds a sort of violent name rather than anything associated with a stoat. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:20 | |
So that leaves me with shark and spider. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Though logic might be lacking. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
I think I'll punt for shark. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-But I'm not sure. -Shark is the right answer. Well done. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
It's feeling better now. Judith, if you get this wrong, we go to sudden death. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Carl Keenan Seyfert, the American astronomer, | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
was best known for his work on what? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
S-E-I-F-E-R-T. Seifert. Is that... | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
S-E-Y-F-E-R-T. Seyfert. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
S-E-Y... Seyfert. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
I don't know. I don't know. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
I don't know. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
Let's say there's a lot of interest in meteorites and meteors at the moment, | 0:15:05 | 0:15:11 | |
so I'm going to say meteorites. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
-Meteorites is your answer. -It's a guess. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-OK. The answer is galaxies. -Oh, how annoying! | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Magic right, again. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-I should have gone... -Your thing of going down the right would have served you well. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
So it's tied. See, Adam? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-That's it. You're back in. -All I needed, a bit of luck. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Exactly. Gets a tiny bit harder now, for Judith as well, | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
cos we go to sudden death and I do not give you alterative answers. Ready? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-I'm ready. -Which word, from the Greek meaning "many bases" | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
refers to a three-dimensional geometric solid? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
I haven't got a clue. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Many bases. I assume it has something which can... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
..sit on the floor with many surfaces. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
So it must be a multi-surfaced sort of shape. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
I'm trying to think of any Greek word that I could possibly say, really. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
Many bases. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
I'll just plump for a high-numbered shape | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
and go for something like hexagonous, or... Hexagonous. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:19 | |
-Hexagonous? -Yeah, complete guess, but sounds a bit Greek! | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
I know it's going to be wrong. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Hexagonous. Do you know, Judith? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-Polygon? -Not quite. Polyhedron. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Judith, your question. Get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
The enzyme renin is secreted by which organs of the body? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
Kidneys. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
Kidneys is the right answer. You've beaten Adam on sudden death. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Sorry, Adam, you've been knocked out. You knew that? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
I knew it straight away! That is my speciality! | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-Biologist. -I've studied it so recently. That'll annoy me. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
That is painful. That comes with going first, I guess. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
Judith, you're in the final. Adam, you're not. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Please both return to your teams. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
So, tricky times for the Techno Prisoners here. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
Sorry, Adam. It's science, the broadness of it. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Yeah, it got the better of me. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
We've had scientists beaten. Judith, you once beat... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
-A rocket scientist! -A rocket scientist in science! -You did well. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
As it stands, the Techno Prisoners have lost three brains from the final round. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
The next subject is Music. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Which Techno Prisoner would like to break out with Music? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
I think I'll be taking that on, Jeremy. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
OK, Waleed, against whom? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
I think I'll go with Pat. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Yeah, cos Daphne loves her arts. So, yeah. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
I think I know a bit about musical theatre, but she'd blow me out of the water! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
I think we're going to go with Pat. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
I love that you watch the show! It's great. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
So Waleed from Techno Prisoners versus Pat from the Eggheads on Music. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:56 | |
Just to ensure no conferring, please go to the question room. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
Waleed, what is your degree in? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
I've just graduated from chemistry. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
And, I gather, science communications? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Yeah, I'd just love to be on TV, to be honest! | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Doing documentaries, working with kids, just generally science! | 0:18:11 | 0:18:17 | |
And that's all about trying to tell people that science is more interesting | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
than sometimes the people in lab coats make it sound! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Definitely. Science is incredible, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
and I feel everyone should be able to experience it the same way I have. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
So we're on music here, and I know you have a fascination with musical theatre | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
-which is Daphne's thing. -Yeah. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
I've always enjoyed performing in life and it's really fun being on stage | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
and I was recently in Guys and Dolls, and that was absolutely incredible. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
So I hope musicals come up for you here. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Let's see. Again, like science, music is so broad. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
But we can ask you whether you want to go first or second. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
Can I go second, please? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
Pat, here we go. Which song has the opening lyrics | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
"All the old paintings on the tombs | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
"They do the sand dance, don't you know?" | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
I think I can hear Susanna Hoffs singing it. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
I think it's the intro to Walk Like an Egyptian, by the Bangles. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Clue in the words, I guess. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
Walk Like an Egyptian is the right answer. Well done. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
Waleed, over to you. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
The brothers Mike and Noel Hogan | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
were founder members of which Irish band? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
I don't think it's Westlife | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
because I know a few of the names and those names don't come up. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
And neither with Boyzone. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
Going right back to my youth, but that's quite hazy. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
And so I'm going to have to go with The Cranberries. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
The Cranberries is correct. Nice one. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Off the blocks. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
See if Waleed can get into the final here. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Pat, the classical pianist Glenn Gould | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
could often be heard doing what on his recordings? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
He was very unusual | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
in that he gave up concert performance very early in his career. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
He was very keen on recording. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
He recorded huge amounts of piano repertoire. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
And he would hum along | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
while he was playing things like Bach. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
So he tended to hum. It annoys some people when they listen to his recordings. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
I can see why that would be annoying. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Humming is the right answer. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Waleed, your question. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
Cecil Bustamente Campbell | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
better known as Prince Buster, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
is most associated with which style of music? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
Well, I have absolutely no idea what ska is. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Prince Buster? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
Prince Buster. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Prince seems quite confident. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
Calypso is quite a confident dance, so I'll go with calypso. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
See if your team-mates know. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
We were taking a point on calypso, just from the name. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Yeah, this kind of music came into the charts early '80s with bands like Madness. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:18 | |
It is Ska. And I think they had a song called Prince Buster, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-did they, Madness? Yes, they did. -Yeah. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Paying tribute to him. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
So ska is the right answer, Waleed. OK. Your question, Pat. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
If you get this one right, you've got three and you'll be in the final round. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Which composer spent the last two years of his life in an asylum, | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
following an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 1854? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
Quite a few composers have ended their days in "custody". | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Well, of those three, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
it's the unfortunate Robert Schumann | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
who threw himself into the Rhine. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Robert Schumann. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Robert Schumann is correct. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
So Pat, you are in the final round. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Sorry, Waleed, you've been knocked out. No way back, cos you took the second question. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
So, if you return to us, we will play that final round. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
which, as always, is general knowledge. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-head won't take part in this round. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
So Waleed, Heather, Adam and Richard from Techno Prisoners | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
would you please leave the studio? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
OK, Iain, you are playing to win the Techno Prisoners £27,000. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
you're playing for something that money can't buy, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
which is the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
This time, the questions are all general knowledge. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
I know that doesn't help you much, Iain! | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
The question for you is, can you overwhelm these five with your one brain there? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:59 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
I'll go first. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Best of luck to you. Take your time. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
And focus. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Which comedian married the presenter Victoria Coren in 2012? | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
I do really recognise that name. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
I think Bob Mortimer's been married a couple of times. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
I do believe David Mitchell might have got married recently. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
I do recognise that name. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
So I'll go with David Mitchell. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
Really glad you did. It's David Mitchell. Well done. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
Iain, good stuff! | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
OK, Eggheads. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
What name is given to the Sunday before Advent | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
when, traditionally, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Christmas puddings are made? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
ALL: Stir Up Sunday. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
It's the first Sunday of Advent. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Stir Up Sunday. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
Yes. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
Yep. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
That is Stir Up Sunday. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
Stir Up Sunday is the right answer. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
Iain, your question. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Don't be put off by them. They look confident, but they're not at heart. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
It's why they became quizzers. They're all insecure! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
Which computer typeface is named after the Native American name | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
for Mount Rainier? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
I should know this, being a computer scientist! | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
I think Verdana is very Italian. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Tahoma does sound very Native American. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
So I'm going to go with Tahoma. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
I love the way you play! Just sort of amble up to the answer there! | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
In the most relaxed manner, you've got it right again. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Tahoma it is. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
With £27,000 to play for, this is getting interesting! | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Eggheads, let's see if we can trip you up with this one. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
The aerospace company Embraer | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
has its headquarters in which country? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
I'll spell it for you. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
E-M-B-R-A-E-R. Embraer. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-It's Brazil. -Brazil. -Brazil. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
It's Brazil. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
You said Brazil. You used to work for the government, Kevin. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
-I was a civil servant for... -Which department? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
A couple of different... I was in Ministry of Defence. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
And then later on in what became Culture, Media and Sport. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
He was a spy! | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
You've told them now! | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
Brazil is the right answer. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
OK. You're playing really well. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
It's unfortunate they got two right. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
But take your time. You're playing well. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
The Battle of Sluis was part of which larger conflict? | 0:25:52 | 0:25:57 | |
Sluis is spelt S-L-U-I-S. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
I'd like to say the spelling helped me, but I don't think it did! | 0:26:09 | 0:26:15 | |
The Boer War would be Africa. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:18 | |
Hundred Years War was French. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
War of the Spanish Succession, that's Spanish. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
I haven't heard of it. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
I'm going to go with the Second Boer War, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
but I don't really know why. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-OK. That's your answer. Second Boer War. -Yeah. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
Eggheads, any answers? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
-ALL: Hundred Years War. -You all know that one. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Yeah, it is the Hundred Years War. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
We've got two out of three, which is not bad. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
Eggheads, your question. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
If you get this right, the contest is over. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Which English actress was Oscar-nominated | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
for her performances in the films Sweet and Lowdown, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
and In America? | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Samantha Morton. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
It's Samantha Morton. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
-Sure about that? -Mm! | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Samantha Morton is your answer. If it's right, the contest is over. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
After three questions, you have three out of three | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
and we say, "Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won." | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
-You played with great confidence on your own, Iain. -Thank you very much. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
I know your team-mates will not be remonstrating with Iain, because he was left here! | 0:27:31 | 0:27:37 | |
-All by myself! -Alone! Against the Eggheads. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
-I hope you enjoyed it. -It's been great fun. -Great to see you. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
-Good luck with the charity activities with Bummit. -Thanks very much. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
Commiserations to Techno Prisoners, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
and their winning streak continues. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £27,000, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
I know it would have come in very useful. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. I don't think you're ever going to lose! | 0:28:00 | 0:28:05 | |
DAPHNE: That's it! | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
£28,000 says they don't! | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
Until then, goodbye! | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
