These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them as they are Goliaths | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
and taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
are the Museum Pieces. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
The team is made up of staff or volunteers | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
from the Priest's House Museum in Wimborne in Dorset. Let's meet them. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
I'm Brenda, 80, and I'm retired. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Hello, I'm Rob, I'm 66 and a semi-retired marketing director. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hello, I'm Sue. I'm 61 and I'm a local government officer. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hello, I'm Arthur, I'm 74 and I'm a retired schoolmaster. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Hello, I'm Emma, I'm 39 and I'm a museum curator. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
-You're all Wimborne people, and it's a great place. We can tell. -Yeah. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-Splendid place. -Is everyone there as nice as you? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-Oh, yes. -Equally. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
There's no... No yobs, no louts? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-Not many, no. -No crime? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
-No. -Front doors unlocked? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
-Quite a civilised town. -OK, we're moving down there, aren't we? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Yeah...! | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
-You don't know where Dorset is, CJ, do you? -No idea! | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-Is that in England or what? -Get him on Geography later. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Every day there is £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
So, Museum Pieces, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
the last 11 games, which means that £12,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
-Are you ready to try? -Yes, we'll try. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on Film & Television. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
Have you got a plan? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
-Emma, do you want to do that? -Yes, I think that's me. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
OK. Emma, against which Egghead? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Brenda, which one do you think? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-I don't know. I should think Judith. -Judith? -Judith? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
Judith? Yeah? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
I'm afraid we're going to pick Judith. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
OK, Emma from the Museum Pieces against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
Take your positions in the question room now. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
So Emma, it's the Priest's House. Is there a priest associated with it? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Not that we know of, no. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
It seems to be a name that sort of came into the sort of 19th century, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
but there is no evidence of priests living there, no. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
You're the museum curator, do people come in | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-and start saying, "Where's the priest?" -Quite often, yes! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-And you have to say, "I'm sorry, have your money back"? -Not quite! | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
We encourage them to come round the museum. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-Brilliant. OK, good luck in this round. -Thank you. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
We'll ask you three multiple-choice questions | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
on film and television. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Emma, would you like to go first or second? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
I think I'll go first. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Emma, what was the name of the rich bad guy | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
in the TV series the Dukes of Hazzard? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Well, I know this one because I spent many Saturday evenings | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
watching this programme. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
I think it's Boss Hogg. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
It is Boss Hogg. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
I spent my Saturdays the same way! | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
We were young, what were we doing? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
When I was at primary school, I wrote to Jim'll Fix It | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-asking if I could have a ride in the General Lee. -And did he reply? -No! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
Judith, which Mel Brooks film was turned into a stage musical | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
and then into a 2005 film musical? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
I think that was The Producers. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Yes it was, and a brilliant success it's been on stage as well. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
So, Emma, back to you. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
What is the name of the human boy who owns the toys | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
in the animated film Toy Story? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
Again, I think I know this one because we encourage children | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
to bring in their toys into the museum and we tell them | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
it's not like it is in Toy Story. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
I think it's Andy. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Great bit of knowledge for you there. Yes, it is Andy. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
You're ahead. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Wimborne is winning. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
Judith, which Doctor Who actor appeared in the US TV series Heroes | 0:04:26 | 0:04:32 | |
as Claude the Invisible Man? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
I think it might have been David Tennant. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
The present one. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
I think it might not have been David Tennant. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-It was Christopher Eccleston... -OK. -..who gets around a bit. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-Yeah. -He's done other stuff. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
So, if you get this right, Emma, you're in the final | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
and you've bounced poor old Judith off the end of the desk. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Here's your question. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
Which actor who later appeared in the TV series Dallas | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
starred in the 1962 film The Day Of The Triffids? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
Um... Oh dear. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
I really don't know the answer to this so I'm going to have a guess. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
I'll go for Larry Hagman. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Larry Hagman, who played JR... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
but it wasn't him. It was Howard Keel. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
So, back to you, Judith. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Get this right, we go to sudden death. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Get it wrong and you're not in the final round. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
Wilberforce, a character played by Bill Murray in the 1986 musical film | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
Little Shop Of Horrors, was played by whom | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
in Roger Corman's original 1960 film? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
I think it was Dennis Hopper. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-You sound certain about that. -Yeah, I am. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-Absolutely... -Have you seen the film? -Um...no. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
But you remember him, you remember the photos and... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Yes, perhaps that's what it is. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
Yeah. It wasn't him. It was Jack Nicholson. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
It was Jack Nicholson's first movie role. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
-Was it? -Yeah, he's only on screen for a couple of minutes. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
It's the guy who goes into the dentist and is tortured, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
but it was his first movie role in Hollywood. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
There we are, Judith. And that, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
from your point of view, means you're not in the final round. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Well done, Emma. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
First blood to Wimborne. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:38 | |
You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant, so you'll help your team | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
in the final round. Please, both of you, come back to us. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
As it stands, the Eggheads have lost one Brain from the final round. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Challengers have lost no brains. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Early days though. The next subject is Music. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Who would like this one? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Who's going to do Music? | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
-It's all sorts of Music, isn't it? -Arthur, you're good at Music. -Uh-uh! | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
No, it's bound to be pop stuff. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
I know nothing about pop stuff. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-Sue? -Could be any sort of music. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Could be any sort. Old, new... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
-Hmm. -Sue? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
It's got to be very old! | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Go for it, Arthur. I'm not going to, no. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-You go for it, Arthur. -Sue? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
-Oh well. -No? -I'll go, I'll go. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-It's Arthur. Against who? -I'll do it. -Choose an Egghead. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
Who are we going to choose? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-Anyone but Judith. -Barry, I think. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-New man? -Chris, I'd go for Chris. -"New man..." | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
Chris, we'll try Chris in that case, thank you very much. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
So Arthur from the Museum Pieces against Chris from the Eggheads | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in our question room. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
I will ask each of you three questions on music in turn. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
Arthur, I know you are hoping that new bands come up, pop music, rock. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
-Absolutely(!) -Everything since 1980. -Right(!) | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Do you want the first or second set of questions? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
I'll let Chris go first. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
Here we go, Chris. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
Which store cupboard item was the title of a UK top five hit single | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
for the Rolling Stones in 1971? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
That was Brown Sugar. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Brown Sugar is right. Well done. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Over to you, Arthur. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
By what name is Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
famously known? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
It sounds very rude to be an Undressed Symphony! | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
Unfinished Symphony it is. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
And you are quite right. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
There's your classical music question. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Chris, over to you. Bhangra music originated on which continent? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
Well, it's sort of north India, Pakistan, so it's Asia. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
Asia's quite right, Chris. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
You're ahead. Over to our challenger. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
Who sang with Tina Turner on the 1990 UK top 10 hit single | 0:09:08 | 0:09:14 | |
It Takes Two? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Um... Probably a trio I should think! | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
Um... No idea at all. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
I should think probably | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-Bryan Adams. -Based on... Anything? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
-Total ignorance. -Based on ignorance! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
I'm sorry, it wasn't. It was Rod Stewart. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
A difficult one to guess, that. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Chris, your turn now. The Queen of the Night | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
is a major character in which opera by Mozart? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
If you get this right, Chris, you're in the final round and Arthur isn't. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
She's a major character in The Magic Flute. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
You are right, which means you have taken that round. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
No way back for Arthur for our challengers. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-Sorry, Arthur, you won't be in the final round. -That's very sad. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
It was the pop music question that did it, as you feared! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Chris, well done. Come back and join your teams. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
Arthur, bad luck. I feel the pop question was like an Exocet there. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
It just hit you. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Not my strong point. -Yeah. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Could have been Rod, could have been Brian. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Never mind. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
The Eggheads and the challengers have each lost one brain | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
from the final round. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
Next subject, Arts & Books, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
now this should be good for Wimborne. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Well, I think I've been put down for that. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
OK, Brenda. Which Egghead would you like? Daphne, CJ, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
or Barry, our new Egghead? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
We don't know about Barry, do we? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-Shall we try Barry, the unknown quantity? -Which do you think? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Give him a chance to show his true colours. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-We want to find out about Barry. -You'd like to find out about Barry. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
So does everybody! | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
We're discovering Barry bit by bit here. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
So, Brenda from the Museum Pieces versus Barry, our newest Egghead. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Brenda, do you want the first or second set of questions? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
I want to go first, please. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
Brenda, in a theatre, by what name is the lowest curved tier of seats | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
above the main floor known? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
I haven't any idea. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
I think it must be the dress circle. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
You must have a idea, and you're right of course. The dress circle. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Barry, your question. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
What is the word for a false name or alias | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
used by a writer who does not want to reveal their real identity? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
Well, a synonym is a word that means the same as another word, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
and an antonym is an opposite, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
but the word that means... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
that is a false name used by a writer, is a pseudonym. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Pseudonym is absolutely correct. Well done. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
One each. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Back to you, Brenda. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
Which novel of 1954 begins with a group of schoolboys | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
emerging from a plane crash on a tropical island? | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
It's a book that made me shiver with horror when I read it. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
It's Lord Of The Flies. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Said with great certainty. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
William Golding, I think. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
Unforgettable book. You're right. Lord Of The Flies, correct. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Your question then, Barry. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Filius Flitwick and Minerva McGonagall are characters | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
in a series of books by which writer? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Well, Minerva McGonagall is a teacher at Hogwarts, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
which means that she would be in books by JK Rowling. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
Is the correct answer, well done. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Two points each, very tight. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Two great players here. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Brenda, your third question. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
What name is given to the semi-fluid mixture of clay and water | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
used by potters for coating or decorating ceramic ware? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
That is slip. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Oh! You said that without hesitation. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-I hope it's right! -How do you know that? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
Well, we did pottery at school, way, way, way back, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
and I visited several potteries. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
There was a very famous pottery, Poole Pottery, quite near us. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
You're right. Slip is the correct answer. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
With that, you put the pressure on Barry. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
If he gets this wrong, you play in the final, he doesn't. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Barry, which fictional detective is the central character | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
in the 1953 novel The Long Goodbye? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Well, it's not Miss Marple because she's an Agatha Christie creation | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
and I always get confused between | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Philip Marlowe and Raymond Chandler novels. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
Let me think. I'm pretty certain Philip... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
Oh, it's Raymond Chandler, is the author... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Sam Spade? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
I'm going to go for Sam Spade. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
Eggheads, do you know the answer? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-I'd have gone for Philip Marlowe. -Philip Marlowe. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
I always get that wrong! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
They were certain that you were going for Philip Marlowe there. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
-I was and I changed my mind! -And you switched. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
The answer is Philip Marlowe. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-Yes. -Sorry, Barry. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
Brenda, you've taken out an Egghead. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-Amazing! -And that means, Barry, you don't play in the final round. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Brenda, you do. Please, both of you, come back to us. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
Eggheads have lost two. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
Our last subject is Sport. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Which of you wants Sport? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
It has to be me, I suppose. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Who's gonna fall on her sword? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-Can you do Sport? -No. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-I've got to be the anchor anyway. -You haven't got to be! | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
You can change your mind! | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Come on, Robbie. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Robbie, you're not sporty? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
I know nothing about sport, so it'll have to be me! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Oh, go on! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
-Neither of you know about sport? -That's right! | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
I know the feeling! All right. So, it's the Mayor of Wimborne. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
It's...well, I don't know whether I want to admit to that! | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
Which Egghead are you thinking you should take on? | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
CJ or Daphne. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
CJ thinks... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Well, I reckon, I reckon...I'm getting advice from all sides here | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
and I'm really gonna go the way I think...CJ! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
So, it's Rob from the Museum Pieces against CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
So there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
So, Rob, you are the Mayor of Wimborne. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
That's correct, Jeremy, yes. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-And you're also in, I gather, the Wimborne Militia. -I am a member. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
When I'm not wearing the mayoral hat, I'm wearing my militia hat. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
The Wimborne Militia is a 17th century re-enactment group | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
from the English Civil War and the Monmouth rebellion period, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
which was strong round in the south-west with Lyme Regis | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
being where the Duke of Monmouth landed in 16...whatever the date, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
mid-17th century. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
And we participate not only in looking after the mayor, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
when I'm not the mayor, we protect the mayor and the councillors. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
We also carry out a lot of work locally for charity. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
We dress in authentic costumes and we join in parades | 0:16:55 | 0:17:00 | |
and various charitable functions, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-and add a lot of colour to the town, I think. -Sounds brilliant. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
This means that you were called to answer questions on history. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
How have you ended up on Sport? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Yes, it could be the case, yes. It could well be the case. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
I don't think CJ feels any more comfortable about Sport either. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Good luck. Here we go. Three questions, | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
multiple choice and you can choose, Rob, the first or second set. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
First set please. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
What name is commonly given to the area in rugby union and ice hockey | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
where players who have committed a serious enough misdemeanour | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
must sit out the game for a brief period? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
Looking at some of the players in rugby these days, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
it could be the crime line, but I reckon it's the sin bin. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
The sin bin. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Well done, Lord Mayor, you're right. Sin bin is correct. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
CJ, which piece of sporting equipment | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
first used in the Olympics in 2000 was developed in the 1930s | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
by the American gymnast George Nissen? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
Both the parallel bars and the pommel horse | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
have been in the Olympics far longer than the last eight years, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
so it must be the trampoline. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Trampoline is correct. Well done. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Second question to you, Rob. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
The football team Sturm Graz play in which country's league? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
Spelt S-T-U-R-M and then G-R-A-Z. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
It doesn't sound very Swedish to me, not really, but it... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
Germanic? Mm. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
I think it's... I haven't heard of them, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
I haven't heard of them at all, so it's quite possibly Austria. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
I don't know any Austrian football teams, but Austria. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-Eggheads, is he right? -He is. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
You are right, yes. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Two points. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
CJ, what nationality is the Formula One racing driver Mark Webber? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
Erm...I'm not aware of any current Irish racing drivers | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
or any Canadian ones at the moment since Jacques Villeneuve retired. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
He's Australian. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
He is Australian. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
He's pushing you hard, Rob, isn't he? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Let's see how you do, third question. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Get this right, put the pressure on CJ. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
And he can wobble. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
Since 1996, over how many days | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
has the Olympic modern pentathlon been held? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
It's one of those three, I know that, but which one? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
I really have no idea, no idea whatsoever. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
I'm sad to say I'm one of the few people, probably, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
that don't follow the Olympics. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Five days. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
You went at the wrong end there. It's one actually. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
It's a briefer affair than that. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
So, CJ, if you get this right, you're in the final. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
On a National Hunt race card, what does the letter P | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
alongside a horse's name indicate happened on its last outing? | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |
Well, let's just try and apply a tiny bit of logic to this. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
It's a letter P. If it was photo finish it would be PF, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
if it was pulled up it would be PU, so it's penalised. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
If it...Right. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
I don't know! I know nothing about the National Hunt. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Let's explore the logic. We've taken your answer, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
but pulled up would be PU. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
Yeah and photo finish would be PF. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
PF, OK. Oh, I see. And penalised is one word so it would just be P? | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
So, it's pulled up, isn't it? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
Yeah, yeah, got it, yeah. No, it's wrong. It's P... | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Sorry, yeah. You've confused me now! | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Yeah, yeah. It's pulled up, you're right, you're wrong! You're wrong! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
You're wrong, you're right! | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
Oh, CJ, how we love you. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
Sudden death now, Rob. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Not multiple choice. It gets harder. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Here's your question. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Misha the Bear was the mascot of the summer Olympic Games in which year? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:33 | |
Summer Olympics. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Misha the Bear. I can remember Misha the Bear, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
but I can't remember the year...at all. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
It's probably further ago than I think it is, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
but...2003. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
Is that your answer? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Yes. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
The answer is 1980. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Told you so! | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
And I guess the clue is the bear and it's Russia and it was... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Moscow, yeah. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
Your question, CJ. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
If you take this, you're in the final. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Yakult Swallows is a top-tier baseball team | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
in the national league of which country? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Oh, dear, who's big on baseball? Erm... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Japan. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
-Japan? -Well, they're very big on baseball. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
And that's the right answer as well. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
Quite how you got there... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
I have no idea. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
But, CJ, well done, you've won the round. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Rob, you played hard there and you did well, but you were beaten | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
in the end, so you can't join your team in the final round. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
Both of you, come back to us now. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
It's General Knowledge this round, | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
but those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
will not be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
So, Rob and Arthur from the Museum Pieces | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
Brenda, Sue and Emma, you're playing to win the Museum Pieces £12,000. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
CJ, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something money can't buy, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
it's the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
This time the questions are all general knowledge | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
and, of course, you are allowed to confer. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
So, Museum Pieces, the question is, are your three brains | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Brenda, Sue and Emma, would you like to go first or second? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
I think we should go first, I think. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
-We'll go first. -First, please. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
Your first question. What items are made and sold by couturiers? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
I think it's... Yeah, it's not cakes. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
-Clothes. -Clothes. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Clothes is your answer. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Clothes is the correct answer. Well done. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
Eggheads, whose sonnets, For The Cradle, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
a set of 51 nursery rhymes including Jack And Jill | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
and Ding Dong Bell, did the firm of John Newbery publish in 1781? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:21 | |
Father Christmas, obviously not. Uncle Remus was Joel Chandler Harris, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
so it's Mother Goose. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
That would be Mother Goose. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
It was Mother Goose's Sonnets For The Cradle. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Your question now. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
The fandango is a dance traditionally accompanied | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
by what percussion instrument? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
-I'm not sure. -It's not bongos, I don't think. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
No, I don't think it's bongos. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Castanets or tambourine? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Is it a Spanish dance, fandango? | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
-Castanet? -I was thinking of... | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-is it the Queen song? -Yes! | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-Erm... -It doesn't tell you what with though. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
-Go for castanets. -Castanets? -I don't know. Do you, Brenda? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
Consensus is castanets. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
It's the correct answer. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
You've got me thinking. The Queen song? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
-"Do the fandango." -Or are we completely off the... | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
-What is it? "Thunderbolt and lightning..." -"Do the fandango, | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
"very, very frightening!" Got it! Bohemian Rhapsody. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
It's also in a Roxy Music song, Fed Up With Fandango. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
Well done. Two points. Going well. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Eggheads, which Wiltshire town has been renowned for its carpets | 0:25:39 | 0:25:46 | |
since a royal carpet factory was built there in 1655? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
-Do we all like Wilton for that? -Yeah, we all like Wilton. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
That would be Wilton. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
Wilton is your answer and... | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
-you're right. -Yes. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
Third question. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
It's an important question for you. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Get it wrong and the Eggheads answer right, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
then I'm afraid the money slips away. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
In Greek mythology, the Nereids, the 50 daughters of the god Nereus, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:23 | |
are especially associated with what? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
-Oh. Is it flowers? -I have a feeling it's flowers. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
-I think it's flowers. -It's something to do with the name, neree... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Is it a name of a type of flower? It's sort of... | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
-Flowers come to mind. -That's the one I'd say naturally, yeah. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
-What would you say? Flowers? -I'd go for flowers. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
It's just an instinct, I think, rather than...actual knowledge. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
-Flowers. -We think flowers. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
Flowers is wrong. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
It's sea. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
I can see how you got to flowers. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Yeah. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:08 | |
Were they right? It sounds like it should be flowers, doesn't it? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Different flowers. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
-But they're all sea sprites. -Yes. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Oh, I see. So they're hopping along on the waves. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
The only reason I knew it was the sea is cos I've heard of HMS Nereid. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
So, er... | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
Painful. But not over. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Here's your question, Eggheads. You get this right, you've won, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
our contestants go back to Wimborne devastated. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
That's our aim. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Which character in Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
delivers the famous Queen Mab speech? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
I don't know this one. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
I think it's Mercutio. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
