0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads, the show where
0:00:27 > 0:00:32a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37And you might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:45And taking on our quiz champions today are the Grumpy Old Women, famous for venting their
0:00:45 > 0:00:50frustrations about everything and everyone on both a very popular TV programme and now an award winning
0:00:50 > 0:00:58stage show, this team of fiery women might just be on the lookout for a suitable recruit from the Eggheads.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04We'll let Judith and CJ fight out for it, eh? Let's meet them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I'm Jenni Trent Hughes, I'm a life strategist and an agony aunt,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13and I am here to prove to my son that I am not a dum-dum.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19I'm Helen Lederer and I'm a writer, comedian, actress character.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hello, I'm Indira Joshi, and I'm an actor.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Hello, I'm Dillie Keane,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I'm an actress and a cabaret singer and writer.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Hello, I'm Kim Woodburn. I'm a television presenter.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Well, welcome to you, Grumpy Old Women. None of you are grumpy at all, but there
0:01:38 > 0:01:44are the odd frustrations in modern life about which you vent your spleens every now and again, Jenni.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I just think that we have standards.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51We're all ladies of high standards which we feel the necessity to divulge to all and sundry.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Yeah, on just so many subjects.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Well, collectively we're very experienced, aren't we ladies?- We are.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Yes.- There's so much in life to grumble about.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Shall we play the game, then?
0:02:04 > 0:02:10Let me tell you, every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So Grumpy Old Women, the Eggheads have won the last
0:02:17 > 0:02:22three games, which means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And our first head-to-head battle, let's see what comes up.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Does this suit any of you? It's arts and books.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Any one of you can play, it's the opening round.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- You, I think.- It has to be Dillie. Do you think?- Dillie. Do you think? - You're brainy enough.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Our vote is for Dillie.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, Dillie. Read a few books and written some.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Who would you like to play?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Any Egghead, any one of these.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Go on, Dillie.- Barry. - Barry, lovely.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55You've been doing quite well on arts and books over the months and years you've been with us.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Anyway, let's have you both into the question room then,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- just to make sure you can't confer, that's Dillie...- I'm so nervous!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Dillie, tell me about the Grumpy Old Women Live.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I've never been to one of the shows. Is it, is it...
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Oh, you'd be too scared to go. - I probably would be, actually!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Given that I suspect the male sex is the subject of some of the grumpiness, probably.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21My partner came to it and he quivered with fright the whole way through.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25It was the most wonderful show, it was a sort of orchestrated grumbling,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29and a lot of people felt a lot better as a result of seeing it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So how does it work? Obviously on the television
0:03:32 > 0:03:37we sit and watch you grumble, in live theatre is there a lot of audience participation?
0:03:37 > 0:03:44No, except that the audience tend to sort of cheer a lot, and agree a lot, and nod.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47They nodded and folded their arms, and went, "oh," like that a lot.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51So that was the kind of participation we hoped for.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53They tutted as well, there was a lot of tutting,
0:03:53 > 0:04:00and it was all huge fun, it was a wonderful show and really, really well written and a joy to do.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02But not recommended for us chaps?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Oh, heavily recommended. - Oh, right, OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08You'd be much nicer people if you only went to see Grumpy Old Women Live.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Right, I'll bear that in mind.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13OK, now Dillie, we let the challenger choose whether they go
0:04:13 > 0:04:16first or second, depending on how you want to play it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What do you want to do?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'll go second.
0:04:22 > 0:04:30OK, that's you, Barry. Which creature features in the title of a 1941 work by Paul Gallico?
0:04:34 > 0:04:41Well, Mother Goose is by Charles Perrault, who I think is 18th century, 17th century French author.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm not quite sure the antiquity of the Golden Goose, that might date
0:04:44 > 0:04:47even earlier, but Paul Gallico certainly wrote the Snow Goose.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Paul Gallico did indeed write the Snow Goose, so that's one to you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56And Dillie, your first question then, the phrase 'growing pains'
0:04:56 > 0:05:00features in the title of the second book about which fictional character?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Do you know, I wouldn't know Tracy Beaker if she fell into my porridge.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Tom Sawyer, I don't think it's Tom Sawyer, so I'm going to plump for Adrian Mole.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Adrian Mole: The Growing Pains, yes, Sue Townsend's character is the right answer, yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21One to you, and back to Barry.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Barry, in Shakespeare's play The Comedy Of Errors,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26what is the name of the father of the Antipholus twins?
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Gosh, I know a lot of things about the Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare's shortest play,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39but the fact of who the father is of the two twins has escaped me!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Solinus, Angelo or Egeon.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44We'll go for Egeon.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45It is the right answer!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49You've remembered it from somewhere, I think, Barry.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Father of the Antipholus twins.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55So second question for you, Dillie. This Charming Man
0:05:55 > 0:06:02is a best-selling novel by which Irish writer?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Well, I don't know the book, but
0:06:06 > 0:06:11the gentleman's name doesn't really sound terribly Irish to me,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14so that leaves Marian Keyes and Aisling Foster.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I don't think it's Marian Keyes, I'm going to go for Aisling Foster.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, Aisling Foster for This Charming Man.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- It's Marian Keyes.- Ooh, damn.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Ah, Marian Keyes. So an opening for Barry.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34Barry, of which art movement which began in revolutionary Russia and spread to the West during the 1920s
0:06:34 > 0:06:39and '30s were Alexander Rodchenko and Liubov Popova important pioneers?
0:06:43 > 0:06:49Well, futurism was Italian, I think it had artists like Boccioni and Marinetti
0:06:49 > 0:06:54and fauvism was French, with Vlaminck and Matisse,
0:06:54 > 0:06:59so the only Russian movement there is constructivism, so that must be my answer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Eliminated it very well, it is the right answer,
0:07:02 > 0:07:08and no comeback I'm afraid for Dillie, got that middle one wrong, that second question wrong,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12so it means you're through to the final round, Barry, and no place for you, Dillie, sorry.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20OK, well, our first minor triumph for the Eggheads but we've got three more
0:07:20 > 0:07:25head-to-heads before the final round, three more chances to knock Eggheads out.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27This one coming up is geography.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Who fancies this, geography?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It can't be Dillie, any of you other four Grumpy Old Women?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Jenni, Jenni. Cos you're knowledgeable,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39cos you've had wide experience in life, different rivers.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I've been on lots of holidays, so...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'll try it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48OK, right, Jenni. Now which Egghead would you like to play?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52It can't be Barry so any of the other four - Pat, Judith, Kevin or CJ.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I think I'll take Pat.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58OK, let's have Jenni and Pat into the question room, please.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Jenni, now would you like to go first or second?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yes, I'd like to go first.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Here you go, try this one out then, Jenni, and best of luck with it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The tea producing region of Assam is in which country?
0:08:16 > 0:08:23Well, I didn't see it on my China itinerary,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and Nepal, I don't...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm going to go for India.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31India is the right answer, good start, Jenni.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33One on the board.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Pat, how many time zones are there in Australia?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43In the mainland, I think they've got three,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46with the one in the middle being rather odd,
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I think it goes seven, eight ½, nine, something rather strange.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53But I think there are three time zones.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Three time zones, what, with a...
0:08:55 > 0:08:58The middle one isn't an hour, it's not an even progression,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00it jumps an hour and a half for some reason.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05I see, interesting, and the right answer to boot, so one to you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07And back to Jenni,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11the Barents Sea is part of which larger body of water?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I don't remember, in any of my time swimming in the Indian ocean,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25seeing a sign saying "This way to the Barents Sea",
0:09:25 > 0:09:26so I'll knock that one out.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Um, I'm going to go for...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Arctic Ocean.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Give that a whirl. - Give that a whirl,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38and give it a tick too, it's the right answer.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40The Arctic for the Barents Sea.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Two to you, going really well.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Pat, the volcano Mount St Helens
0:09:46 > 0:09:49which erupted with disastrous consequences in 1980
0:09:49 > 0:09:50is in which American state?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I think this was one of my options on my,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59on a Millionaire question about volcanoes.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03And Mount St Helens is in Washington State.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK. How much was that question worth?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I think it was the 32,000 question,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11"Which of these is the highest volcano in the world?"
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And they had Mount St Helens as one of the options.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15So, I mean, before it,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18before it erupted was it the highest volcano in the world?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Oh, no, it was about 9,000 feet, and it blew the top 3,000 feet off.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I think it's about 6, 7,000 feet now.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yeah, so it demoted itself, silly volcano.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Well, there we are, Washington State is correct,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32the location of Mount St Helens, so it's two all.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36And Jenni, yeah, well, you get this, and you might win the round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Porto Vecchio is a port in the south of which Mediterranean island?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49OK, I am, this is a complete guess,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and I'm going to say Corsica.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Good on you, Jenni, it's the right answer. Porto Vecchio in Corsica.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Well, if it stays that way
0:11:00 > 0:11:03after I hear Pat's answer to this one you're through.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Pat, with an area of 1,068 square miles,
0:11:07 > 0:11:13what is the world's largest island in a freshwater lake?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's home to a, it itself has a lake within it,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27which of course is the record for
0:11:27 > 0:11:29the largest lake in the largest island in a lake.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33It's in Lake Huron, I think, and it's Manitoulin Island.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's the right answer as you well know, Pat.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Manitoulin Island, which I think the majority of us had never heard of,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41but he is an Egghead, of course, and a Millionaire winner.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42So that's all square, Jenni,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45which means now, just to make it more fun for us, not for you,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48we're going to withdraw the multiple choice element,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49and it goes to sudden death.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Just got to hear an answer from you to sort out a winner,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54same rules obviously for Pat.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00And this is your question: Nunavut is a territory of which country?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03N-U-N-A-V-U-T
0:12:03 > 0:12:07OK, I'm going to make a wild guess,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11and I'm going to say Russia.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15OK, Russia. Nunavut...
0:12:15 > 0:12:16is not in Russia.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- No. Do you know, Eggheads?- Canada.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's Canada. Canada.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Ah!- It's not too far away, well, I mean an awful long way away, though,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29but not too far away from the last question Pat faced
0:12:29 > 0:12:30on Manitoulin Island.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Canada there, so nothing for Jenni.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Well, it might continue after this if Pat gets it wrong,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but to win the round, Pat, which fountain in Rome
0:12:39 > 0:12:42takes its name from the Italian for three roads?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I've been to Rome, I've been to several of the lovely fountains,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49the famous one in the Piazza Navona,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53the four rivers, and there's the spectacular Trevi Fountain,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55which sounds very close to trivium,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58which, I think, is the Latin for three roads.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01So it's not much of a jump from trivium to Trevi,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04so I think I'll have to go for the Trevi Fountain.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06OK, the Trevi Fountain.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10It is the right answer, Pat, you are through to the final round.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12No place for you, sorry, Jenni.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Well, as it stands now, the Grumpy Old Women
0:13:17 > 0:13:20have lost two brains from the final round,
0:13:20 > 0:13:21the Eggheads are all still there.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23We also established that, Pat,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26you're not bad at geography, I think you could get a bit better.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I like geography, I always have done.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Let's play our next subject then, let's try and get
0:13:31 > 0:13:34one of the Grumpy Old Women through to the final round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37One's guaranteed to be there but let's at least make it a pair.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40And our next subject is food and drink. Who'd like to play this?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Can't be Jenni or Dillie, so that's Helen, Indira or Kim.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45OK, we're going to throw Helen to the lions.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Yeah.- Thrown in there, Helen.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, who would you like to play, Judith, Kevin or CJ?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Kevin?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Kevin?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56My team has advised me to suggest Kevin.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01OK, let's have Kevin and Helen into the question room, please.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Helen, right, food and drink.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And, of course, you write a bit about wine, don't you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Well, interestingly, a newspaper, for their sins,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12invited me to be their wine columnist, and I said "Are you sure?"
0:14:12 > 0:14:14and then it was just the best job I ever did,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17because all this wine came through my door as well.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not through the letterbox, but crates of the stuff,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and I had to actually buy a new thing to put the wine in,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25just so much wine, and now I know a little bit about it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Having said that, I'll probably forget everything.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, let's see if any wine questions come up here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Oh, first, what the hell, let's just get in there and do it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Well, having just had that discussion,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42here's your first question.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46What term is used to refer to the charge made by a restaurant
0:14:46 > 0:14:49for serving wine that has been brought in by a customer?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Right, well it ain't vintage
0:14:53 > 0:14:57cos that's to do with clothes that I rather like, ha-ha,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59seepage is something rather unattractive,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and we're going to go for corkage.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's the right answer, yeah, well done, Helen, corkage.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08And Kevin, what English name is traditionally given to a pizza
0:15:08 > 0:15:11that has different toppings on each quarter?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Ooh, quarters, let's think.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'll say Four Seasons.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yes, OK, four seasons is the right answer, Kevin,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25so you've got one, and back to you, Helen.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31In Vietnamese cuisine, what type of dish is pho? P-H-O.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Sounds quite scientific, doesn't it?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No, that's H2O, ha-ha.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So I'm going to say it's not porridge
0:15:41 > 0:15:45and I'm going to say it's not sponge cake, although it probably is,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and then I'm just going to go for noodle soup
0:15:48 > 0:15:52because the word noodle conjures up that kind of continental food.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, Vietnamese pho is noodle soup, it's the right answer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yes, it's not sponge cake or porridge,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00interesting selections there, weren't there?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02So, Kevin, which word for someone
0:16:02 > 0:16:04with refined tastes in food and drink
0:16:04 > 0:16:07comes from the name of an ancient Greek philosopher?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It's epicure, from Epicurus.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- It is, Kevin. - Who got a bit of a bad press..
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Oh, right, why?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I mean, epicure there tends to conjure up ideas of people
0:16:22 > 0:16:26who just go for the very best of everything, real luxury items,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31whereas Epicurus, his philosophy was moderation in all things.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35But it, somehow over the centuries it got distorted.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You think of luxury, that's not what he meant at all.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39OK, thank you for that, Kevin.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41See, adding to the sum of human knowledge at all points.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Helen, third question, going really well.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Of the 19th century French chef Antonin Careme's
0:16:48 > 0:16:53four basic mother sauces, which one was made with white stock?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Right, well some people might go veloute,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03some people might go espagnole,
0:17:03 > 0:17:09which is a bit like spag bol, I'm going for the bechamel,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12cos it's what the sauce is.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The white stock one is veloute.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oh, I knew that really.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I was just being a bit cocky. - Oh, dear.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And, you know, as I say Kevin,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23it's one of the subjects he can be caught on,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26let's see, if he doesn't get this we go to sudden death.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31A cappuccino in Italy served senza schiuma doesn't have what?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37That's, well...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39well, it's not sugar.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I mean, as between the other two,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I've got no idea what the Italian for cocoa powder might be,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47but schiuma sounds frothy to me,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51so... I don't know it, but I'll go for froth.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55OK, well a cappuccino in Italy served senza schiuma
0:17:55 > 0:17:59doesn't have froth, it is the right answer, Kevin, you're through.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Ah, it means you won't be playing in the final round, Helen.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09As it stands, the Grumpy Old Women have lost three brains
0:18:09 > 0:18:12from the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Last chance coming up now to knock an Egghead out,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and this one is politics.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, it's Kim or Indira to play.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- Are you good at politics? - Go on, go on.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'll do it, yes, I'll do it, yes.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31All right, Kim, now who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33The remaining players are CJ or Judith.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Judith, please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40OK, let's have Kim and Judith into the question room, right now.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, Kim, I wanted to ask you, which of the Eggheads
0:18:45 > 0:18:47do you think most deserve a visit
0:18:47 > 0:18:50from the How Clean Is Your House team?
0:18:50 > 0:18:51I think Pat.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53DERMOT LAUGHS
0:18:53 > 0:18:55She heard about my clutter problem.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Just got a feeling, there's something about that man looks very dirty to me.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well, he's very well turned out, very well scrubbed up!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Ooh, there's other things going on though.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09And tell me Kim, what do you so enjoy about Grumpy Old Women,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11is it a chance to get everything out there?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Well, there are so many aggravating things that happen, aren't there? Even when you go shopping.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I mean, imagine the queue in a supermarket
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and they're all there getting out 15 purses,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23that really annoys me, you know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25People shouldn't be so aggravating,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27then we'd have nothing to talk about, would we?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Judith, what upsets you about modern life,
0:19:30 > 0:19:31what annoys you, what irks you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- The Post Office.- Ah, why?
0:19:33 > 0:19:38One till open and the queue stretching into the street.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It drives you insane.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42And then they're all, there are, sort of, three people
0:19:42 > 0:19:45behind the cashier tills stamping away,
0:19:45 > 0:19:46doing little bits with money,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49going off into the office, having a cup of tea,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53and they're completely oblivious to the queue going into the street,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and I want to kill the Post Office.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Get the letter off. Let's play the round then, shall we?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Now, politics, Kim, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'll go first, get the agony over.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Here we are then, and your question is this.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Which actress has been a prominent supporter of the Gurkhas
0:20:11 > 0:20:14in their fight to win settlement rights from the British Government?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, that is Joanna Lumley.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It certainly is, yes, Joanna Lumley.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And your question, Judith,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Shami Chakrabarti became the director
0:20:29 > 0:20:32of which UK human rights organisation in 2003?
0:20:36 > 0:20:42She's amazingly articulate, a sort of unstoppable flow, almost.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43She's Liberty.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48She is, Liberty is the grouping she heads, Shami Chakrabarti,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51so one each there, and back to you, Kim.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55In 2007 Baroness Scotland became the first female
0:20:55 > 0:21:00and the first ethnic minority person to hold which post?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Well, she certainly wasn't, wasn't the Speaker, the Speaker. Um.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm going to go for Secretary of Defence.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, Secretary of State for Defence.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Baroness Scotland, in 2007, became...
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Attorney General.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Oh, knickers.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29All right, Judith, second question.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Long way to go, Kim, let's see how Judith does with her second one.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36In May 2009, the then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith
0:21:36 > 0:21:40announced that the people of which city would be the first in the UK
0:21:40 > 0:21:42able to sign up for an ID card?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, I don't think it was London.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Would she be able, would she have the authority to ask them
0:21:52 > 0:21:54in Edinburgh to do it? I don't know.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Scotland's so devolved nowadays I'm not sure she'd have the authority.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I think Manchester.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Manchester?- Yes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It is the right answer, yes, well done, Judith. So you have two.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Right, Kim.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Karim Massimov was elected Prime Minister
0:22:11 > 0:22:14of which country in January 2007?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22I'm going to go for...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Kazakhstan.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Kazakhstan is the right answer. - Yes!- Well worked out, Kim.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Kept you in the game. OK, got to hope Judith doesn't get this though.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38And, Judith, which white South African legislator,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41elected to parliament in 1953,
0:22:41 > 0:22:47was the sole anti-apartheid member of parliament from 1961 to 1974?
0:22:51 > 0:22:58Well, I know Helen Suzman was very famously anti-apartheid,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03but I thought she went on much longer than that.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I think I'm going to say Helen Suzman, nonetheless.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10That's bad news for Kim, because it is the right answer,
0:23:10 > 0:23:11yes, Helen Suzman.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So again it's that second question,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I think, for nearly all of you there that let you down.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It means, Kim, no place in the final round. Judith, you're there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27it's time for the final round,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:23:32 > 0:23:34won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38so Jenni, Helen, Dillie and Kim from the Grumpy Old Women,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40would you leave the studio, please.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43So, Indira, you're playing to win the Grumpy Old Women
0:23:43 > 0:23:45£4,000 for your chosen charity.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Barry, Pat, Kevin, Judith and CJ, you're playing for something
0:23:49 > 0:23:52which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58this time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Well, Indira, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Indira, what do you want to do, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09First, I think.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Here's your first question.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18In which country did the 1937 Hindenburg airship disaster occur?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, this is very difficult...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27USA?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Is that your answer?- Yeah.- USA.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It's the correct answer, yes, well done. There you are!
0:24:33 > 0:24:37There, I mean there's that famous newsreel, isn't there,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40this huge thing coming out of the sky on fire.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Where did it actually happen?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- New Jersey.- Ah, you see.- New Jersey, was it?- Lakehurst, New Jersey.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Ah, there we are, the Hindenburg, identified by Indira,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51the disaster occurred in the USA.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So one to you, you're in the lead. And Eggheads,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57which popular carbohydrate restricting diet
0:24:57 > 0:24:59takes its name from an area of Miami Beach?
0:25:02 > 0:25:07I've heard it, that South Beach was in, I've never heard of a diet.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I've heard of a South Beach diet.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- I'm sure.- I haven't heard of a West Beach...- I had the book, I tried it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Oh, OK.- We think that's South Beach, the diet.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24It is the right answer, yes, the South Beach diet.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26OK, well, back to you, Indira,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28good start, let's see if you can build on it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31What name is given to the Jewish plaited loaf
0:25:31 > 0:25:33traditionally eaten on the Sabbath?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Mm, I think it's either matzo or...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Hallah?- Challah.- Challah, challah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Um, matzo, I'll go for.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55OK, matzo, the plaited loaf traditionally eaten on the Sabbath,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57and we will ask Barry...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Afraid not.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Matzo is the unleavened bread that is eaten on Passover or Pesach,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05but the bread that is eaten on the Sabbath,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and there's two of them, challah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Challah. Oh, dear, well not matzo, it is challah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15So a chance for the Eggheads to take the lead.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Eggheads, which philosopher wrote the 1943 work Being and Nothingness?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Which philosopher wrote the 1943 work Being and Nothingness?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Sartre?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Sartre?- Jean-Paul Sartre.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Jean-Paul Sartre,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Being and Nothingness, it is the right answer, Eggheads,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43so you have two. Right, Indira, got to get this.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46In 1960 a Latin translation of which children's book
0:26:46 > 0:26:49became the first foreign language book
0:26:49 > 0:26:52to feature on the New York Times bestseller list?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02In 1960 a Latin translation of which children's book became the first
0:27:02 > 0:27:07foreign language book to feature on the New York Times bestseller list?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's very difficult.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I want to go for Winnie-the-Pooh.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Or was it Rupert?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Rupert At The Seaside.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28OK, Rupert At The Seaside, a Latin translation of any of those
0:27:28 > 0:27:31sounds pretty strange to hit the top
0:27:31 > 0:27:33of the New York Times bestseller list.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Latin translation, do you know Eggheads?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Winnie-the-Pooh?- It is Winnie- the-Pooh.- Winnie-the-Pooh, oh.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Indira, you wanted to go for that.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45This is the difficulty of being on your own there,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48no-one to discuss it with. It means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53All of you against just me!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It's always going to be very tough on your own there, Indira,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00after those head to heads, and they just swung on the odd question,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03usually the second one, and all your other Grumpy Old Women there,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06just to have someone to chat with makes a bit of a difference.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09But we've really appreciated having you here today,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13it's been a pleasure listening to the tales of the Grumpy Old Women,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I think we might have a recruit from the Eggheads
0:28:15 > 0:28:17for you for any other shows you do.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But thank you very much for having a go at the Eggheads today.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24But it means the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32which means, of course, the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a team of Olympians
0:28:37 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
