These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is: can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:33 | |
Taking on our quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
are the Tooth Fairies. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
They all work for the same dental surgery in Burton on Trent, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
except for Steve who is team captain Donna's father-in-law. Let's meet them. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:47 | |
Hi, I'm Donna, I'm 31 and I'm a dentist. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
I'm Venay, I'm 25 and I've worked as a dentist for two and a half years. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
I'm Cara, I'm 41, I've been a dentist for 17 years. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm Steve, I'm 63 and I'm a retired physics teacher. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Hello, my name is Lesley, I'm 56 and I've been a dental nurse for 33 years. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
Donna and team, welcome to you. So connected through a dental surgery? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
Right. Steve's my father-in-law, but we do quizzes together as well. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
He's also my patient, so we thought we'd apply to Eggheads together because we all like a good quiz. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:26 | |
Excellent. Hopefully drilling into this lot here. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-In a nice way! -So I'm assuming your patients will be watching and cheering you on. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:36 | |
Only a select few know so far, so hopefully a few will mention it next time we're in. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
Let's hope you do well here. There is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers every day. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:49 | |
However, if they fail to win it rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
So, Tooth Fairies, this is rather exciting. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
The Eggheads have won the last 34 games. That cuts both ways. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
You've got to try and stop them. They're on great form, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
-but a great jackpot. So it's certainly worth playing. -I think so! | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-Do you want to start? -Let's start. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
The first head to head is on Science. Tooth Fairies, which one of you wants this? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:23 | |
I think Venay would be the best. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-- Are you happy? - We'll volunteer Venay. -OK. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-And against which Egghead? -Which Egghead? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
- I suggest Kevin. - Yes, I think so. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
You're strong on science. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
-We're going to decide to go against Kevin. -Venay versus Kevin. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:50 | |
Venay, I'm hoping something dental-related will come up, but science is broad. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
I wish it was to do with dentistry, but I'm sure I can answer quite a few questions to do with science. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
-Did you study that? -I did it during GCSEs and A Levels. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
And I gather you practise an obscure martial art? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-Yes, I do. -What is that called? -Muay Thai boxing. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
-Muay Thai boxing? -Yes. -You can use that on Kevin. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-If he gets too many answers right I might have to do that. -That or the drill! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
-Yeah. -Good luck. Science. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Em, first, please. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Here we go. Which creatures are most likely to travel together in a V formation? | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
Well, I don't think it's mice. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
I don't think it's ants. I see them | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
usually in a straight line if I ever have seen them together. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
I would probably go with birds because I've seen them in a V shape. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
Well, that helps if you've seen it. Birds is the right answer. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:04 | |
OK, Kevin. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
What name is usually given to an excess of an electrical charge built up on the body of an object? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
You know it when you encounter it. It's static electricity. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
Static electricity is right. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
How does one stop getting shocked? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
-Am I wearing the wrong shoes or what? -It just builds up sometimes. Walk away and find another room, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:33 | |
if that's possible. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Venay, in 1877, Thomas Edison reproduced the human voice for the first time | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
when he recorded himself reciting which rhyme? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
I'm not actually too sure. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
I wouldn't think it was Old Macdonald Had A Farm. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-I would probably go with Mary Had A Little Lamb. -Eggheads? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-That's right. -That's right, Venay. Well done. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
OK, Kevin, your question. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
The crypts of Lieberkuhn are found in which part of the body? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
It's Lieberkuhn. All one word. Lieber is L-I-E-B-E-R. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
Then K-U umlaut-H-N. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Crypts... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Crypts implies... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
..hollow space, I suppose. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Crypts, obviously, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-is C-R-Y-P-T-S as in "crept into"? -Yeah. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
Yeah. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
You could make a case for there being areas of hollow space with any of those. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
The percentage guess for these sorts of things is always the brain | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
because of the sheer variety in it, but I've never heard of that. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
I'll try the brain. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Daphne's shaking her head. Daphne? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
It's the intestines. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-The intestines, Kevin. -Never heard of it. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
Well, well, well. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
This is a nice handy start. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Venay, get this right and you've knocked out Kevin. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Which of these flowers belong to the genus ranunculus? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:23 | |
The genus...does it indicate it would be something like buttercup? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
I'm not too sure about this. I've never heard of that genus before. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
But I would think it's either snapdragon or lupin. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-Which is snapdragon. -Snapdragon. You started with buttercup there. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-Yes. -I was trying to work out your logic. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
You said it sounds like buttercup? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-No, I was just thinking buttercup doesn't sound like that genus. -Oh, I see. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:03 | |
Well, Kevin has only been knocked out on Science twice in the history of Eggheads. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:09 | |
You've got the wrong answer. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
If you'd said buttercup, it would be the third time. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
It may yet. Third question, Kevin. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Get this wrong and you are out. Which term was chosen by astronomers from Johns Hopkins University | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
to describe the colour of the universe? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
This is not going well! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Obviously a strong coffee connection there. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Unlikely to be Milky Mocha. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
I'm sure I've heard this, but I can't remember which of the others. I don't think it's Milky Mocha. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
I'll try flat white. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-Daphne? -I think he's right. -You think he's right? -Yes. -Wrong! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
It's cosmic latte. Well done, Venay! You are in the final round. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Kevin has been knocked out. I can't believe that answer. Yeah. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
I didn't have to use the drill or the Muay Thai. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
A very clean victory for you. Non-violent, well done. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Both of you please come back and rejoin your teammates. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
Donna, that's a good start. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-It is! -To take down the top player. -Quite unexpected against Kevin. No offence, Venay! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:29 | |
Only the third time on Eggheads, which is now more than ten years, is that right? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:36 | |
-Not quite. -It is in terms of years, but if you count months we're not quite there. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:43 | |
Every single fact is challenged. They can't even agree on that. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
-Anyway, three Science rounds only, Kevin... -Yeah. -..we've seen you go down on. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:55 | |
-They happen. -They happen, but you've got to be a good player. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
The Tooth Fairies have not lost a brain. Eggheads have lost Kevin. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
The next subject is Sport. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Who would like this, Donna? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
It's between Lesley and Cara, I'd suggest. Not me! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
-We're thinking it won't be Cara. Lesley. -I don't want to do it. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
- Would you like to? - Not really, but I will! | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
- Yeah, OK. - Lesley, please. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-OK, Lesley on Sport. Against? -Come on, Judith. I'll take on Judith. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
-She likes it as much as I do. -Oh, I see. So we've got a sporting void here, have we? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:36 | |
-Just a wee one. -All right. That can happen. Good luck, Lesley. And good luck, Judith. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:43 | |
-Thank you. -Not Judith's favourite subject either. Do go to the Question Room. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:49 | |
-Lesley, rugby is a big part of your life. -It is indeed, yes. -You married a rugby player. -I have. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:57 | |
-So you have to watch all the games. -I have, yes. Cold, windy weather and all sorts. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:03 | |
-Any other kinds of sport? -Athletics. -The Olympics was a great moment to focus on them all. -It was. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:10 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-Lesley, you can choose to go first or second. -I'll go first, please. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
Good luck to the Tooth Fairies. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Who was the recipient of the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
I know it wasn't Jessica. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
I'm sure it's Bradley Wiggins. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Absolutely right. Well done. Bradley Wiggins. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
OK, Judith. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
In 2007, which British Olympian launched the Sporting Giants initiative | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
to discover new sporting talent? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I think of all those it's probably Steve Redgrave. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
Steve Redgrave is the right answer. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Back to you, Lesley. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Mike Denness, who captained the England cricket team in the '70s, was born in which part of the UK? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:14 | |
Really not sure on this at all. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
I'll just go down the right and say Scotland. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-Eggheads? Is she right? -Yeah. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-Oh, you're joking! -Well done. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
OK, over to you, Judith. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
As well as a sizeable purse, the winner of the Kentucky Oaks, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:38 | |
an annual Grade 1 stakes race for three-year-old fillies, | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
traditionally receives a garland of what type of flowers? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
The Kentucky Oaks, presumably, is in America. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
In Kentucky. I'm trying to think what the climate is in Kentucky. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
And I wonder what time of year it is. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
I really don't think it would be fuchsias. I just don't think so. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
It's difficult to make garlands out of irises. They have stiff stalks. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
I think it's more likely to be lilies. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
So I'll go for lilies. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
Lilies is correct. Brilliant logic. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
It is, of course, in Kentucky in the USA. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
The Kentucky Derby, which will be at the same time as that, roughly, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
is the Run for the Roses. They get a garland of roses. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-If roses had been there, it would have been tricky. -Unless you know. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
OK, two out of two. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Get this right to put pressure on Judith. Which golfer, who won a total of 11 Majors in his career, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:57 | |
became the first American-born player to win the British Open, in 1922? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
Golf really doesn't come into my sporting knowledge. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
Bobby Jones... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
I'll go...Ben Hogan. I really don't know. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-Ben Hogan, please. -OK, Ben Hogan. Does anyone on your team know? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
-Any ideas? -I'd have said Hogan. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-Anyone on this side? -Hagen. -It is Walter Hagen. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-OK. -But two out of three. You're not out yet. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Judith still has to get this right. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
What nationality is the skier Ivica Kostelic? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
All these things end in "ic", do they? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
Ivica is I-V-I-C-A. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Kostelic is K-O-S-T-E-L-I-C. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Well again, just simply going by the ending, | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
Croatians are apt to have "ic" at the end of their names, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
so I would say Croatian. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Croatian is the right answer. A triumph for you on sport! | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
Sorry, Lesley. She's knocked you out and she will be in the final round. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
Please rejoin your teammates and we'll play on. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Right, so it's evening up a bit. The Tooth Fairies have lost a brain from the final round | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
and the Eggheads have also lost a brain. Kevin, no less. The next subject is Geography. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
Oh, it's my worst subject. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-How good are you? -It's going to be Cara, I think. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
-We've got a willing victim. Cara. -OK, Cara. Now you can't have Judith or Kevin. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:47 | |
-One of the others. -What do you think? | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
- Daphne can guess everything! - She can. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
Chris and trains and geography, probably very good. Dave I'm inclined to go for. | 0:14:53 | 0:15:00 | |
OK, let's try Dave, please. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-Ready for it, Dave? -Yeah. -Cara from the Tooth Fairies versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:10 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your leave of us. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Good luck in this round. It's pretty evenly poised here. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
There's so much at stake. £35,000. Cara, do you want to go first or second? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:25 | |
Oh, I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Here we go. What name is sometimes given to states in the middle of the US | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
which are not traditional tourist destinations and are generally flown over from coast to coast? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:42 | |
Handover doesn't sound right. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Passover, no. I think I'll go straight down the middle Flyover states. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
Exactly as it says on the tin. Flyover states is how they're described. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
Must be a bit painful | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
to live in a flyover state. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-They probably don't notice. -Best example would be Kansas? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-Iowa, Missouri. -Dave, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
what name is given to the counties that surround London? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
That's the Home Counties, Jeremy. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
It is indeed. Going out of fashion, that phrase, a bit. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
Back to you, Cara. The Vosges Mountains are located in which part of France? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
And Vosges is V-O-S-G-E-S. Vosges. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
Hmm, not sure about this one. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
I will plump for east. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
East is your answer. Let me check with Judith, who lives there. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Yes, it is the east. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Correct. Well done. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
Dave, your question. The area of land called Bir Tawil, which is not officially owned by any country, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:05 | |
lies between Egypt and which other country? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Em, not sure at all, but I'll go down the middle. Libya. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
A pretty good question. I'd never heard of it before. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-It's not Libya. It's Sudan, Dave. -Oh, right, OK. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
Can anyone tell us about Bir Tawil? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
It all goes back to when the maps were being drawn up. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
There was a mess up with the mapping. Nobody claimed this or wants it, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
so it's just sort of there as a hole in the map. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-It's desert, I'm assuming. -Desert, yeah. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
How interesting. So the score has you ahead, Cara, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
which is really, really good. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
If you get this right, you've knocked Dave out, simple as that. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
The Bounty Islands in the South Pacific ocean are territorially part of which country? | 0:17:53 | 0:18:00 | |
Bounty Islands. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
It's going to be a guess, Jeremy. I am going to plump for... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
New Zealand. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
You've got it on the nail! Well done, Cara! | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Three out of three. You've knocked out Dave. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
So you will be in the final. This contest really is hotting up. Come back to us and we'll play on. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
As it stands, the Tooth Fairies have lost one brain. Looking good. I don't want to jinx it, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:36 | |
but you're playing well. You've lost one, the Eggheads have lost two. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
The last subject before the final is Music. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Who would like Music? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
-Better be you, Donna. -I'll volunteer. -Donna on Music, OK. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
-10CC had a song called Donna. -My dad used to sing it to me. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
Really? Oh, that dates me. Donna from the Tooth Fairies versus which Egghead? | 0:18:55 | 0:19:01 | |
-It can be Daphne or Chris. -Just on the basis that I'm sorry you're not feeling very well - Chris. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:08 | |
I'm not exactly at death's door! Just not firing on all cylinders. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:14 | |
Chris from the Eggheads, Donna from the Tooth Fairies. Prepare to do battle. Do leave us. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
So you have recently given birth to a little girl. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
I have. A little girl called Emily. She's four months old. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
Good luck and I hope you do well against Chris. Still ailing? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:33 | |
-I'll get there, Jeremy. -OK, well, don't play too well. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
-On Music, Donna. First or second? -I'll go second, please. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
Here we go, Chris. What is the name of the man who is asked, "Where's your troosers?" | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
in the title of Andy Stewart's 1960 UK Top 40 single? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
# Let the wind blow high Let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I go | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
# All the lassies shout, "Hello! "Donald, where's your troosers?" # Donald. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-If it hadn't been Donald, that would have been hilarious. -It would. -But it is. Well done. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:15 | |
Donna, how many wheels are on my wagon, in the song by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:25 | |
It's not coming to mind straight away, but you wouldn't imagine three, so I'm ruling that out. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:33 | |
Most wagons, in my experience, have four, so unless it's some quirky song title, I'll go for four. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:41 | |
I don't know the song. Anyone? Daphne? No? Chris... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
# Three wheels on my wagon And I'm still rollin' along | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
# The Cherokee are after me They look mad, things look bad... # | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
They lost a wheel, Donna. They lost a wheel. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
So three is the answer. Chris is in the lead. Your question. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
In 2012, the video for which song became the first to reach one billion views on YouTube? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:08 | |
I've said to the people who play it in the pub, I'll go berserk. It's Gangnam Style. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:21 | |
Gangnam Style is correct. Donna, your question. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
When the music company EMI was formed, for what did the letter I stand? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:32 | |
I don't think it's International. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
Music Industries... I immediately thought Industry. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
I'm now doubting myself and wondering if it's Incorporated. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
Industries or Incorporated. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Music Industries... I'm going to go for Incorporated, against my better judgment. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:04 | |
I wish you'd stayed with Industries. Electric and Music Industries is the answer. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:10 | |
Now Chris has got two, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
so there's no way back for you. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Chris is in the final round, Donna. Sorry, you've been knocked out. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
If you both come back we will play that final. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. The final round, which is General Knowledge. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
But those of you who lost | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
won't be allowed to take part. So Donna and Lesley | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
and also Kevin and Dave, would you please now leave the studio? | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
So Venay, Cara and Steve, you are playing to win the Tooth Fairies £35,000. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:46 | |
Judith, Daphne and Chris are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:59 | |
Tooth Fairies, are your three brains able to overcome the Eggheads' three over here? Let's see. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:06 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -First? -We'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:13 | |
Best of luck to you. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
What age was Winston Churchill when he became Prime Minister for the second time in 1951? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
-OK... -'51. I remember the funeral. -Yes. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
-In the mid '60s. -Mm-hm. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Sort of 11, 15 years before. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
Yes. So 66 sounds fair for then, Steve. OK. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
I think we'll go for 66, Jeremy. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
He was older than that. He was 76. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
I was born in '65. I think that was the year of his death. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
-How old was he when he died? -Well, born in 1873. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
He was old enough to go to the Boer War. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
So in '63 he was 90. So he was 92-ish. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
And he was old enough to fight in the Boer War. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
-So he must have been born in 18... -Chris says 1873. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
1873, yeah. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
All right. There we go. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
76 is the answer. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
What is the surname of the art historian and nun, Sister Wendy? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
- Beckett. - Sister Wendy Beckett. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
She is Sister Wendy Beckett. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Daphne says Beckett and you are correct, Eggheads. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
Over to you, Tooth Fairies. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
In Sweden, which day is known as Julafton? | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
Could you spell that, Jeremy? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
J-U-L-A-F-T-O-N. All one word. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
Julafton. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
-Christmas Eve, Yule... -Yes. I think so, Steve. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:05 | |
-Yeah. -Shall we? -Yeah. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
I think we'll go for Christmas Eve, Jeremy. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Steve, you are right. Christmas Eve it is. Well done. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
We need the Eggheads to slip up. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Let's see. Your question, Eggs. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
In which decade did Queen Elizabeth II abolish the ceremony of having debutantes presented at Court? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:28 | |
-'50s. -'50s. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
That's the 1950s. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
1950s is your answer. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Debutantes as in young women who were graduating or...? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
They were presented at Court and curtsied to the King or Queen. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
-And what was a debutante? -It means making your debut. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:55 | |
Coming out. Young ladies setting out in society. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
-Did you do that, Judith? -No, cos it had finished. -Of course. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:05 | |
1950s is the right answer. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
-It finished some years before. -Absolutely. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
It was barely a memory. OK, the Eggheads have two. You need to get this one right. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:21 | |
Get it wrong and it's over. Get it right, they may well fail | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
and then we're into sudden death. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
Here's your question. Who wrote the Tony Hill series of thrillers, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
adapted for television under the name Wire In The Blood? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
I don't think it was Lynda La Plante. What do you think? | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
-I've heard of it. -PD James is detective stories. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:53 | |
-Yeah... Is it not a bit more modern than PD James? -I don't know Val McDermid or anything she's done. | 0:26:53 | 0:27:01 | |
-I...personally would have gone for Lynda La Plante. -Would you? -Yes. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
PD James is... | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
-Dalgliesh, I think. -OK. -Inspector Dalgliesh. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
I'm not too familiar with it. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
-Yeah... -It's either Val McDermid or Lynda La Plante. -Yes. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
-You're drawn to Lynda La Plante? -I am, but I don't know. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:28 | |
-I don't know Val McDermid or anything about her. -Yep. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
I'm happy to go with that, Steve. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
We're not really sure, but Lynda La Plante. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Let's see if the Eggheads know. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
-Val McDermid. -You've got it. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
Val McDermid is the answer. So no way back there. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
We have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
They are making a habit of winning. You're in good company. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
-How many teams - 35? 36? - have gone this way already? -Yeah. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
A whole load of teams have gone this way and failed. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
Commiserations, Tooth Fairies. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:20 | |
You won't be going home with the £35,000. It rolls over. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:25 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can beat them. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:33 | |
£36,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
