0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And, tackling our awesome quiz titans today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Chicks Who Tweet.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Now, if Chris were here, he'd probably think
0:00:42 > 0:00:44that meant we had a team of bird impressionists on.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Thankfully, he's off somewhere, taking down train numbers, I think.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51What we have, in reality, are five people who have fully
0:00:51 > 0:00:52embraced the world of Twitter.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Like our very own Tweeter, CJ, they post interesting, absorbing
0:00:56 > 0:01:00and intriguing details about the fascinating
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and exciting lives they lead online.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Come to think of it, that's nothing like CJ at all!
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Let's meet them.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Annabel Giles, I'm a TV presenter and a writer,
0:01:11 > 0:01:12and I'm somebody's mum.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Sarah Green, I'm a TV presenter and an actress,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and I'm 21.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hello, I'm Wincey Willis, I'm a TV presenter
0:01:21 > 0:01:26and a radio presenter, and with a homage to Douglas Adams, I'm 42.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31I'm Jeni Barnett, I'm a media floozy, and I'm not 21.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Hello, I'm Sian Lloyd, I'm a weather goddess in name and nature,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and I'm 21.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, welcome to you, Chicks Who Tweet.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It's Twitter that brought you all together?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- It is, yes.- A kind of technological Magnificent Five, I suppose.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Oh, yes!- And also, haven't you been in touch with CJ?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We've been trying to get the Eggheads' frailties out of CJ,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52and he's said nothing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- But your dad's helped you out, hasn't he, Sarah?- He has.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- He sent me... - This is Harry Green, by the way.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Harry Green, Harry Green, DIY guru Harry Green. He sent me...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04He is your biggest fan, and he said,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09"Darling, you must get these people to try and answer on these things."
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- He's trying to pick out your weaknesses. So...- Don't tell them!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Let's play the game.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Let's see if Harry's right,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21let's see if you can knock out these Eggheads,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23because every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:23 > 0:02:25up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29the prize-money's rolling over to the next show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33So, Chicks Who Tweet, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It means £2,000 that says you cannot beat the Eggheads.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39And, our first category.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, rather appropriately, given what you all do,
0:02:42 > 0:02:43is Film & Television.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- OK.- And who would like to play this? It can be anyone you like.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Who watches the most telly?- I do, because I'm a single parent.- Right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Annabel, darling,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54you have just written yourself into the first round.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57They all took one step back and you were left as the volunteer!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Annabel, who would you like to play?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00One moment. We need to discuss the Harry sheet.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Hang on. Who is... Oh, do you think?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Shall we try Judith?- Yeah. - Shall we go posh against posh?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I like that. Posh against posh.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Let's have Annabel and Judith into the question room, please,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15to make sure you can't confer with your teammates.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20OK, first up there, Annabel, head of the Chicks Who Tweet.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Do you want to go first or second?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm going to go first, because then there's less pressure.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Let's do it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32First question, film and television, going to you, Annabel.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35The 1971 film And Now For Something Completely Different was
0:03:35 > 0:03:39a compilation of sketches from which comedy series?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I think... Well, Not Only... But Also I don't think I've even heard of.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Even I'm not that old. The Frost Report wasn't...
0:03:51 > 0:03:52No, it was, definitely, wasn't it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55SHE HUMS "The Liberty Bell" by Sousa
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Monty Python's Flying Circus.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I expect a big foot to come down and squash me now!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00That'll do, yeah, the tune will do for the answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It is the right answer, of course, yes. Monty Python's Flying Circus.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Judith, here you go. First question for you, then.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Which film won the Best Picture Academy Award in February 2011?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, I think that was The King's Speech.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Did you see it?- I did, twice.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22The King's Speech is, of course, the right answer, yes.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Over to you, Annabel.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Which actress starred alongside Matthew McConaughey
0:04:28 > 0:04:32in the films Fools Gold and How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Erm, it's not Rachel...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well, I don't know if it's Rachel McAdams, I've never heard of her,
0:04:41 > 0:04:42so I'm hoping it's not her.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46So it's going to be between Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon,
0:04:46 > 0:04:52and I'm going to go down the middle and say Reese Witherspoon.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56You made it 50/50 but chose the wrong one. It was Kate Hudson.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Oh, no! Girls, I'm so sorry.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Kate Hudson with Matthew McConaughey
0:04:59 > 0:05:01in Fools Gold and How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Your second question then, Judith.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06In which film does Fred Astaire dance with Cyd Charisse to
0:05:06 > 0:05:09the song "Dancing In The Dark"?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I think it might be The Barkleys Of Broadway.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OK, The Barkleys Of Broadway for Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Other Eggheads?- I think it's The Band Wagon.- Band Wagon.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26It's The Band Wagon, say Daphne and Kevin, The Band Wagon,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28so no damage done, Annabel.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30It's all still to play for, it's all square
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and we have got a TV question coming for you next.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Here you are.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Carlton Banks, played by Alfonso Ribeiro,
0:05:36 > 0:05:41is a character in which '90s TV comedy show?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Carlton Banks.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I think that's going to be something from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- It's the right answer, well done! - Yeah!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Potentially a place in the final round then,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02if Judith doesn't identify this correctly.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Judith, who directed the James Bond films GoldenEye and Casino Royale.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I don't know, it's a guess.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Roger Spottiswoode.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Roger Spottiswoode, for Goldeneye and Casino Royale.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21CJ, you look less than impressed.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's certainly not the one I would have gone for.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I think it's Campbell.- It is, Martin Campbell.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Are you quite pleased with that, Annabel?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I think that's quite a good result, yeah.- Not bad, is it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Well, you're in the final round, two of you,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38then, at least guaranteed to be there.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Well, a triumph there for Annabel means the Eggheads have been
0:06:44 > 0:06:46whittled down by one,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49which means that Judith will not be appearing in the final round.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51All the Chicks Who Tweet are still there.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Our next subject today is Science.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Wincey, Wincey, Wincey, Wincey!- No, no, I am not doing science!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- You are!- I don't know anything about...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You said you were going next!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I can't do science, I failed. Now go and do it.- I'm bullied!
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Wincey, you need an Egghead. Choose an Egghead. It can't be Judith.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I'm going to have Daphne.- Are you?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- She's went on a one, there, and chose Daphne on her own.- All right, then.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Let's play the science round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Wincey and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You get to choose. Do you want to go first or second, Wincey?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23First, get it over with.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29All right, off we go, Wincey. First question for you on science.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33The London Hospital known as Moorfields specialises
0:07:33 > 0:07:36in treating conditions of and injuries to which part of the body?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think I might know this one, because a friend of mine
0:07:42 > 0:07:45had surgery there not long ago, so it's eyes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It is. Eyes is the right answer for Moorfields.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53OK, Daphne. Eyetooth is another name for which type of tooth?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59That's E-Y-E, obviously, eyetooth.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I know. I get muddled up! I know it's not molar.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Eyetooth.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Canine?- Eyetooth is another name for the canine.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11It is the right answer, well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16OK, Wincey. Started very well, there. Second question.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18What type of creature is a hairstreak?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It's all one word, and it's H-A-I-R. A hairstreak.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's definitely not a snake,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and frogs, to my knowledge, don't have hair,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33but I'm going to plump for butterfly.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You are good, it's the right answer. She does know her animals!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Vindicated putting you in there, there you are, two out of two.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Daphne, the medical condition urticaria is more commonly
0:08:44 > 0:08:45known by what name?
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Well, I always used to call it nettle rash, but it's hives.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Urticaria is hives, it's the right answer, or nettle rash. Right.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Right. Well, it's all square.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02This is shaping up to be a very good round.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Wincey, let's hope you get this.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05In the periodic table,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08what name is given to the group of elements that includes
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Boron, Arsenic and Antimony?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18OK, this is a complete guess,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20because I really haven't got any idea,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24but I'll go with my first instinct, and that would be alkali.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Alkali metals, for Boron, Arsenic and Antimony.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- It's metalloids. Metalloids. - Sorry, everybody!- So close.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, two out of three ain't bad.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's see what Daphne does with this.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Approximately how many Planet Earths
0:09:40 > 0:09:42could fit into the planet of Jupiter?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Eeny-meeny-miney-mo. Erm...
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Oh, let's go for the big one. 13, whatever it is.
0:09:58 > 0:10:0213,210 planet earths in Jupiter.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's 1,321.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Wince, Wince, Wincey!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well, look at Wincey!
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Seeing as you're enjoying it so much,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11we're going to make it a lot harder now, because you've gone
0:10:11 > 0:10:13three questions each, which means you've taken us
0:10:13 > 0:10:15into Sudden Death. This is to sort out a winner.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18We take away those choices, and just got to hear answer from you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21There's nothing to have a guess at.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24And, your question. This might suit you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28The clouded leopard is native to which continent?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's a mountainous beast.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31It's seen in snow-covered mountains,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35but I'm just trying to think of which continent.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Asia.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Asia?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, we've taken that. Clouded leopard.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You say it's seen in mountainous regions.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Plenty of them in South America and Africa as well, of course,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48but it's Asia, it is the right answer.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Your question then, Daphne, to try to save yourself.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Geckel, a super-adhesive developed by scientists,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00is inspired by the gecko and which marine creature?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So it's G-E-C-K-E-L. Geckel.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Limpet?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09A limpet. Similar but incorrect.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It is... Have another go, Daphne. It doesn't count.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What do you think? Limpet, no? CJ?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It's a barnacle. - No.- Oh, isn't it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22From the Geckel, so we've got gecko and...what would give you E-L?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Elephant?- Mussel. Mussels.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Mussels. Wincey, you're in the final round!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Well, the Chicks Who Tweet are flying along here,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37all of them still there after two rounds.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Two Eggheads gone, they are looking despondent, dejected,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44they're down, but dangerous, of course, when injured.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Watch out in the next couple of rounds.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Two more head-to-heads coming up, and the next one is Food & Drink.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- I'll go.- I'll do it. - No, I'll do it.- I'll do it!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I'll do it, I'm older than you!
0:11:59 > 0:12:05- Hold on, but the person that I am going to go against is Kevin!- What?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09OK, right, it's Jeni versus Kevin. Food & Drink is the category.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Could you both go to the Question Room, please?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Jeni, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16First.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22OK, let's have your first question, then.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Which fish was rebranded as the Cornish Sardine
0:12:25 > 0:12:27to increase its popularity?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- I think it was the pilchard.- It's the right answer, yeah, well done.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Another good start.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Your first question, Kevin.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42In its simplest form, the British pudding known as crumble consists
0:12:42 > 0:12:46of fruit topped with a mixture of butter, sugar and what else?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52As in apple crumble, or something like that, I suppose.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, could you just say it again? Fruit...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58In its simplest form, the British pudding known as crumble consists
0:12:58 > 0:13:03of fruit topped with a mixture of butter, sugar and what else?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Flour.- Indeed, it is the right answer.- Well, it was worth checking.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12OK, Jeni. Number two for you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper De Cruz is said to have
0:13:15 > 0:13:21become, in 1560, the first European to encounter which beverage?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Well, gin I link with Holland, jenever,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34cider we think of as being British,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and I don't know about the roots,
0:13:37 > 0:13:42but I imagine that we were sending tea out, and I'm hoping it's tea.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Tea. It's the right answer! It's correct.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, there we are. Two out of two for Jeni.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53And Kevin's second question.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Ashbourne, Grasmere
0:13:55 > 0:13:59and Ormskirk are English regional varieties of which type of food?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04I have no idea.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I have never come across this at all, so I've got to go
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- for one of the three. I shall go for gingerbread.- Gingerbread.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Daphne?- Well, that's what I'd have gone for.- Pat knows.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I think there are gingerbread shops in Grasmere,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19so it sounds like it could be.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Yep, it's the right answer. Gingerbread shops in Grasmere.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Pat's identified. 2-2. Great quizzing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Every round's been fantastic.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Jeni, let's see if we can get you through with this.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34The Queensland nut is another name for which foodstuff?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43In my head I think Macadamia is sometimes known as something
0:14:43 > 0:14:45to do with Australia. It's kind of greasy and very fatty,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48not that that's got anything to do with Australia!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Macadamia nut.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's the right answer, well done, Jeni!
0:14:52 > 0:14:563-3. Kevin to try to save himself.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Kevin, what meat was served in a casserole as the main course for
0:15:00 > 0:15:04the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten in 1947?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I know!
0:15:12 > 0:15:13I wasn't there.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It's an absolute stinker, that's why we're so glad you got it!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It could literally be anything.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Let's assume it was venison from the Royal Parks,
0:15:21 > 0:15:22from the deer in the Royal Parks.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- OK, venison.- I'll try venison. - Venison.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I'm very afraid you're wrong. It's partridge.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37There you are, Jeni. Come back, take your place with your teams.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40You're in the final round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I don't know about Chicks Who Tweet, chicks who quiz, phenomenal!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You're cutting through the Eggheads like a scythe!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Get rid of this lot, no problem!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well, as it stands, three Eggheads have gone,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53none of the Chicks Who Tweet. All intact.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56We reach our last subject before that final round,
0:15:56 > 0:16:01last head-to-head, this one is Arts & Books, and Sarah or Sian?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- I'll have a go at this.- Sarah again.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04All right, stay with us, Sarah,
0:16:04 > 0:16:09because you choose from those shivering jellies, there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- It's CJ or Pat.- Pat, my darling, it's you and me.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Pat's quite pleased, look at him. Look at his little face! Loving it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Let's have Sarah and Pat into the question room, with a nod
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and a wink, there, look.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Sarah, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I think I'm going to go first.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34OK, here we go. Sarah, first question.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38The Chelsea Girls is a 1966 experimental film
0:16:38 > 0:16:40directed by which artist?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48In 1966, would David Hockney...
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I don't think it would have been Salvador Dali.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57Would it have been Andy Warhol talking about New York Chelsea,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01or would it have been David Hockney talking about London Chelsea
0:17:01 > 0:17:06which, of course, in 1966, was the centre of the universe?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Erm... I'm going to go for Andy Warhol.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11It's the right answer, Andy Warhol.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Pat, your first question.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18What is the surname of the artist brothers known as Jake
0:17:18 > 0:17:22and Dinos, who were nominated for the 2003 Turner Prize?
0:17:25 > 0:17:31They are enfants terribles, do all sorts of mutant statue, sculptures,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and they bought paintings, I think, by Hitler and the like.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- They're the Chapmans.- OK, the Chapman brothers, it's the right answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You have one. All square, back to you, Sarah.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Which actress won a Tony Award for her
0:17:45 > 0:17:49performance as Blanche Dubois in the original 1947 Broadway
0:17:49 > 0:17:51production of A Streetcar Named Desire?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Bea Arthur doesn't strike me as someone who,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03in her younger days, would have been cast as a Blanche.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Colleen Dewhurst, I don't know.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- I think I'm going to go for Jessica Tandy.- OK, Jessica Tandy...
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Is the right answer!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Well done, Sarah. - Big sigh of relief.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Your question, Pat.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Aunt Pittypat and Belle Watling are characters in which novel?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, Belle has a certain United States...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Well, both Little Women and Gone With The Wind are US books,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34but Belle is a, sort of, southern states sort of name.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35It does have a...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39It's a vast book, so just on a sheer percentage basis,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Gone With The Wind has probably got more characters than either
0:18:42 > 0:18:45of the other two books, so a bit of a desperate guess, Gone With The Wind.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's the right answer, yes. Gone With The Wind. 2-2.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I was so hoping he get that wrong! - I'm sure you were.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well, let's see if you know this and put the pressure back on him, Sarah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58What's the name of the central character of Sebastian Faulks'
0:18:58 > 0:18:59novel Birdsong?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Oh, dear me. Erm...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Stephen Wraysford.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Stephen Wraysford?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13It's the right answer!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Look at CJ. - Please get this right, Pat!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24He's a very worried man.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Very, very important for the Eggheads, this one.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27No pressure.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Which novelist and travel writer, who died in 1989,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36wrote the books In Patagonia, On The Black Hill, and The Song Lines?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I think I know this one.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47This chap, I think, joined one of the big auction houses in London,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50and turned into a real expert on art,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54before effectively disappearing to travel the world and write books.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55It was Bruce Chatwin.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00It was Bruce Chatwin. Saved yourself, for the time being.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02We go to Sudden Death. Sarah, I bet you're delighted with that!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I'm really delighted, yes. Thanks for that, Pat!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08You'll know these, I know.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Which character says the line "A plague on both your houses",
0:20:12 > 0:20:14in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I want to say Friar Laurence,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20but he's the last person who'd wish a plague on someone, I suppose.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm sorry, girls.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'm sure it's the wrong one, but I'll say Friar Laurence.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26OK, Friar Laurence.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Pat, do you know?- I'd have to guess.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- I'd guess Mercutio, but I'd be guessing.- It is, it is, yes.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33You've told Sarah, yes, Mercutio.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37"A plague on both your houses." But it's not over, Sarah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Pat still has to get this one right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Pat, which Asian country is the principal
0:20:42 > 0:20:45setting for the bestselling novel The Kite Runner?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I think this book is set in the city of Kabul,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51so I think the answer will be Afghanistan.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It is Afghanistan, it is the right answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Sorry, girls!- Bad luck, Sarah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Now, I can't wait for this.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01This is what we've been playing towards, it is
0:21:01 > 0:21:03time now for the final round which, as always,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05is general knowledge, but I'm afraid those of you who
0:21:05 > 0:21:10lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this
0:21:10 > 0:21:13round, so Sarah, just Sarah from the Chicks Who Tweet, and Judith, Kevin
0:21:13 > 0:21:18and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio now.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22So, Annabel, Wincey, Jeni and Sian,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24you are playing to win the Chicks Who Tweet £2,000.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Pat and CJ, a pretty short list.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29You're playing for something money can't buy.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37This time, the questions are all general knowledge,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and you are allowed to confer, the big change from those head-to-heads.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So, Annabel, Wincey, Jeni and Sian,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46the question is are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49And, Chicks Who Tweet, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50We'll go first, Dermot.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Here you go.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59In 1964, the cartoon strip character Billy Whizz
0:21:59 > 0:22:02made his debut in which British comic?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Beano.- Wincey, you all right with that?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yeah, we're going for the Beano.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12The Beano is the right answer, yes, Billy Whizz.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17OK, Eggheads. What is the middle name of the actor Richard Gere?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's certainly not Macy. I instantly thought it was Tiffany, so...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25His middle name is Tiffany.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It is the right answer. Richard Tiffany Gere.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Chicks Who Tweet, which symbol represents the city of London
0:22:33 > 0:22:35on a hallmarked piece of silver?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Is anyone wearing any silver? - I think it's Castle.- Why?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- Because you see it on silver a lot. - Oh, oh.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I don't think a leopard, because of the Empire we had,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52nothing to do with that, and anchor, because of the river.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54No, anchor's too nautical,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56because London isn't really seen as a nautical place, is it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's much more of a place of royalty...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It is if you live in Greenwich.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'm thinking rook and castle, I'm thinking...
0:23:02 > 0:23:06So, you're thinking Windsor Castle. On your heads be it!
0:23:06 > 0:23:07We're going to go for the castle, Dermot.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, the castle. London, city of London,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12castles, of course, the tower,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14and it's not the right answer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Do you guys know?- I expect it's the Leopard's head.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18It's the Leopard's head.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I said that! Because of the Empire!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Listen, it's early days, it's early days.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Two more questions, at least, coming for the Eggheads,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and anything can happen. Eggheads, your question is this.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Antalya is a resort in which country?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Southern coast of Turkey, isn't it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- It's down at the bottom, on the join.- Above Cyprus.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Erm, we think that's on the coast of Turkey.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Turkey? It's correct, Eggheads.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Well, this is where it all counts, in the final round,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57so listen up, you need to get this.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Which British Overseas Territory celebrates
0:24:00 > 0:24:03St Patrick's Day as a public holiday?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09I used to have a house in Montserrat.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's an Irish... You get a shamrock stamped on your passport
0:24:14 > 0:24:16when you enter the country, the island.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Good girl. We like this. - We love your house in Montserrat!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I know we shouldn't listen to me, but it's definitely Montserrat.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Answer the question.- I promise.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- We love the fact that Annabel once...- Had money!
0:24:27 > 0:24:28..lorded it in Montserrat.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- So that's our answer, Dermot. Montserrat.- Montserrat.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- And it is the right answer, yes. - Thank God for that!
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Thank God. I've redeemed myself! I redeemed myself.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You certainly have, but you've got to sit this one out
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and hope the Eggheads don't get it.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Because of the leopard's head slip,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52the Eggheads can win if they get this.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55So, Eggheads, when Princess Anne appeared on A Question Of Sport
0:24:55 > 0:25:02in 1987, her teammates were captain Emlyn Hughes and which rugby player?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I have seen this episode a long time ago,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11and I'm trying to picture the other person.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Dusty Hare was English, full-back, lots of conversions, and he had
0:25:14 > 0:25:17wispy hair over the top of his head, I think from quite a young age.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- What colour? - Light. He was almost bald, wispy.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- OK.- John Rutherford is a Scottish rugby player.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28The name John Rutherford means nothing to me.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29He is a Scottish international.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32So, Princess Anne, I think she's...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Since, she has been the president of the Scottish RFU, hasn't she,
0:25:36 > 0:25:37I think.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41But Dusty Hare looked like an old chap, even when he was a young man,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43because he had thin hair.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44So, can we have an answer please, Eggheads?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Dusty Hare.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Absolutely no idea. Dusty Hare.- John Rutherford.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Pat said it all, Pat!
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Scottish Rugby union, she is the patron, still is,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59very, very keen Scottish rugby union supporter.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Turns up at all the home games.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04The analysis doesn't matter, they got it wrong.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09So, we go to sudden death. Let's put the pressure on again with this.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Which male Jamaican athlete won the 200 metres gold medal
0:26:15 > 0:26:17at the 1976 Olympic Games?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19For goodness sake, Dermot!
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Wait a minute, listen, this is how we work this out.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24What male Jamaican athletes do we know?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, there's only the bobsleigh team, and it's not any of them!
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- Don't be silly!- Cool Runnings.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Now, Linford Christie is British.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- Let's say Linford Christie, because we know him.- Yeah, say Linford.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- Come on!- '76 Olympics.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Daley Thompson.- Forgot about him!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Which it's not, obviously.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45No, not Daley Thompson. Do you know, Eggheads, just out of interest?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Don Quarrie?- Don Quarrie.- Who? - Never heard of him.- Don Quarrie,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51who actually had a prolific career, didn't he?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53How many Olympics was he in?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I think he's the last sprinter prior to Bolt to hold 100
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and 200 world records.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02OK, well, you've got to sit it out and hope that the Eggheads
0:27:02 > 0:27:04don't get this, then, after all this hard work.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Eggheads, which English comedian and actor who died in 1949 was
0:27:08 > 0:27:13a noted amateur astronomer, and in 1933 gained a claim for
0:27:13 > 0:27:16discovering a white spot on Saturn, using a telescope in his garden?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17What year did Will Hay die?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I think it's Will Hay, I think he was an astronomer.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Something just came to me about Will Hay, and...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24He has an astronomy link.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, we both thought of Will Hay independently,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30so we will try Will Hay.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Well done!
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- What?- Oh, no!- For goodness sake! - How did that happen?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- I don't know! - We had a stupid sport question.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Because we had a sport question!
0:27:46 > 0:27:49If we count up the number of questions you got right
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and they got right, I'm sure you'd beat them by a long shot,
0:27:52 > 0:27:56because of all those head-to-heads you won, but what a great game.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57We've loved it.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03You've out-thought them, out-giggled them, and indeed, out-quizzed them!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06But listen, thank you so much for being such fantastic sports,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10and those two, look at that, wiping the sweat away from the brow.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I've never seen them looking more relieved, you lucky, lucky Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Our congratulations, and they do go to the Chicks Who Tweet.
