These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
You might recognise them as they are Goliaths in the world | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
And, taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the Hammerheads, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
the team are all West Ham fans. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
To while away the time travelling to away games, they'll often play a quiz against one another. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi, I'm Neil. I'm 51 and I'm a senior consultant. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 45, and a window cleaner. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Hi, I'm Dawn, I'm 38 and a database analyst. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm Kerry. I'm 48, I'm a bathroom fitter. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Hi, I'm Tony. I'm 39, and I'm a recruitment consultant. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Welcome to you, Hammerheads. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Between you, how long have you been supporting West Ham United? | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Who's the longest serving fan? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
35 years for me. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
-35 years! Man and boy then? -Yeah. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
So some of the glory years. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
It's all glory years, I know. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-We did win the World Cup. -Obviously, yes, right, 1966. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Three West Ham players in the team. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-Scored the goals. -Of course, the captain, scored all the goals. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
I'm with you there. And, tell me how does the quizzing go? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Is it competitive, or is it just...? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
It started as a bit of fun, first of all, on the back of a coach. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
We just used to ask people different questions, and it | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
got a bit more competitive. And that's how it's gone. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-And did it start, was it a West Ham quiz originally? -Oh no, all sorts. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-Other teams? -No, no, it was all general knowledge. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
We don't talk about Arsenal. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Yes, and I don't talk about Spurs, actually. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
-Kevin doesn't. -You've been remarkably restrained so far. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
Good to see you, Hammerheads and best of luck today. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, Hammerheads, the Eggheads have won | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
the last seven games, which means £8,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:27 | |
So our first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
which I suspect you might enjoy. Who would like to play this? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Don't all rush at once. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Before this, he was, "I'll do Sport, I'll do Sport." | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Are you still confident, mate? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-Yep. -Go for it. -Right, OK. -OK, Mark, you are happy to do it. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Which Egghead would you like to play? -I think Judith should be, yes? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-Judith. -I can't see her from here, has she gone? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:54 | |
-I am trying to. -Trying to hide. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
The question room is where you are bound, Judith. Could I ask Mark | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
and Judith please to take their positions in that question room. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
So, Mark, barring the World Cup Final of '66, what's the best West Ham game you have ever seen? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
The best West Ham was probably when we beat Metz 3-1 | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
in the InterToto Cup final. The first English team ever to win it. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Normally it would be ladies first, but team orders, I'll go first. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Best of luck. For which country did the footballer Liam Brady make | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
72 appearances between 1974 and 1990? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
I was good to say, I'm glad it's football. Ireland. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Liam Brady, yep, played for Ireland, 16 years then. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
OK, Judith. Darren Campbell won an Olympic silver medal | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
in the 200 metres in which year? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
I don't do silver medals, I only do gold. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
That's the Egghead in you. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
I have absolutely no idea. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
What about 2000? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
-Darren Campbell, 2000, other Eggheads? -I think so. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
The others are too early. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Yep. 2000 is correct. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Sydney 2000. Well done. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
One to you then Judith. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Back to Mark. Mark, which jockey rode 4,870 winners, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:29 | |
but only won the Epsom Derby on one occasion? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
My dad would know this. Er... | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Willie Carson? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Willie Carson, do you think, only won the Derby once. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
No, not Willie Carson. Do you know, Judith? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:50 | |
I'm sure Gordon Richards must have won the Derby more than once. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
So it must be the other one. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Nope, it is the mighty Gordon Richards | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-with nearly 5,000 winners but only one Derby under his belt. -Pinza. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Pinza! Do you know the year? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
-I should do, but I don't. -You will after me asking you that. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
-'53, yes. -'53? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
The Coronation Derby, '53. It was his 17th attempt. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Really? Anyway, the answer to that is Gordon Richards, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
just to confirm that, not Willie Carson. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
So a chance for Judith to take the lead with her second question. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
Judith, what is the nickname of the NFL American football team | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
based in Carolina? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
That presumably means they're called | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
the Carolina Panthers or Broncos or falcons. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
Carolina? I have to assume they are the | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Carolina something or others, and I bet they're not the Broncos cos | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
they probably come from Texas. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Or one of the horse States as it were. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Erm. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
I can't think why Panthers could be in Carolina. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
Carolina Falcons? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
I'm going to say Falcons. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-Falcons? -Yes. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
I think Atlanta would get very upset about that. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
-It's Carolina Panthers. -Oh. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Panthers. So nothing there. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Mark, how many inches wide is the balance beam | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
used in women's artistic gymnastics Olympic competition? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
I don't think it's four because that is approximately the size of | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
a golf hole. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
So, six or eight. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
If in doubt, the one in the middle, six. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Six? It is not six. It's four. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
It's the narrowest there, just four inches, which makes you understand | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
just how good they are at it. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-So, Judith, a chance to win again at Sport. -You never know. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:45 | |
You've got to get this. Which South African rugby union player | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
was the IRB International Player of the Year 2007? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
Bryan Habana was the one who kind of starred all over the place, | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
so I imagine it must be him. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Bryan Habana. It's the right answer, Judith. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-No! -You have won the round! Look how pleased she is. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
I'm always thrilled when I win at Sport. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
I say you do it quite often actually, more often than people would imagine. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Judith, you will be playing in the final round. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
And Mark, I am sorry, you will not have a seat at the desk for the final round. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
That makes it 1-0 to the Eggheads. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
But I suppose as Hammers fans, you will be used to going one down | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
and coming back in the second half to take victory. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Let us play our next category today. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
This one is going to Film & Television. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Who would like to play? It can't be Mark, any of the other four? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-Can I go? -Are you sure? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Yes. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Over to you. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-We'll go for Barry. -Go for Barry. -Barry, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
OK, winner of Are You An Egghead? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-So, just confirm it's going to be... -Kerry. -Kerry against Barry. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
Could I ask you both please to take your positions in the question room. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:06 | |
OK, Kerry, best of luck. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -First, please. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
OK. Going first, Film & Television. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
This is your question then. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
In which film did Ingrid Bergman play a character called Ilsa Lund? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:22 | |
I don't think she was in Casablanca | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
as that. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
So, I'll try Spellbound. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Ingrid Bergman, Ilsa Lund. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
It was that famous role in Casablanca | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
with all those memorable lines which | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
are oft repeated, and oft misquoted, aren't they? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Barry, a lot of them, "Play it again, Sam", they never said it. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
No, he just said, "Play it." | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-Ah! -To Dooley Wilson who was playing the piano in the film. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Ah-ha! OK. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
So, nothing there for Kerry. Barry, your first question. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Which actor is famous for the line, | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
"I see dead people", from the 1999 film, The Sixth Sense? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:07 | |
He's gone on to have quite a successful career in film - | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
Haley Joel Osment. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Haley Joel Osment, you think. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
What else has he gone on to do? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Now you've put me on the spot. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
-You said it, Barry. -Yes, I know, I have seen him in a couple. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
My mind's just gone blank. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Any of the other Eggheads, do you know what else? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
AI probably the best known. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
AI. Anyway, the answer is Haley Joel Osment, that is correct. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
So, one to you, Barry. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
Kerry, let's get you moving. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
What name is given to Basil Brush's | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
companion played by Christopher Pizzey? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
I never really watched Basil Brush as a child. So I'd hazard a guess. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
Mr Derek. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Mr Derek? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
He's Mr Stephen. Mr Stephen. I'm sure there was a Mr Derek. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
-I thought that. -A long time ago. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Derek Fowlds. Well, a tricky | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
question and it gives a chance for Barry to sew up the round early on. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Barry, what was name of the fishmonger in the children's TV series Camberwick Green? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:20 | |
As I would have gone for Mr Derek. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
I'm going to have much the same success cos I haven't got a clue. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
So this is a blind guess. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
And let's hope I've picked up some lessons from Daphne. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
I shall go straight down the middle and say, oh no, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Mr Carraway sounds more like a baker. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
I'll go for Mr Dagenham. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
Mr Dagenham, of course, not too far from Upton Park really. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
A bit of a link. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
But you should have listened to that internal voice of Daphne's | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
looking over you while you played this round. It's Mr Carraway. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
That gives a glimmer of hope to Kerry. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
You've got to get this though, Kerry. The BBC has used the tune | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Pop Looks Bach as the TV theme for which sport, since 1978? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
I think cricket was Soul Limbo. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
So I can rule that one out. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Since '78? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
With the horses in the family, I'll go for show jumping. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
OK. Showjumping. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
I'm afraid you have hit another fence, so to speak, it is... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Barry, do you know? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-Skiing. -You do now, cos it has gone green. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
So I'm afraid, Kerry, we end the round there. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
No place for you in the final round. There is one for Barry. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Two more head-to-heads to go, can level it up in the final round. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
This one is Science, this head-to-head. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
Who would like to play this? Neil, Dawn or Tony remaining - | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-Science. -I'm rubbish at science. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-Give it a go, Tone. I'll have a crack at it then. -And it's CJ, Kevin or Chris remaining. | 0:11:53 | 0:12:01 | |
-Shall we go CJ? -Yes. -We'll go for CJ. -OK, so it's going to be Tony and CJ then to play science. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:07 | |
Could I ask you both please to take your position in the question room? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
So, Tony, do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
Right, here you go. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Good luck, Tony. What is the symbol for the chemical element helium? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
I'd like to think I should get this right, I have a son actually studying | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
science at the moment | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
and we were only doing this table the other day together. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
So I'll have to go for He. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
OK. Periodic tables. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
And you've got it right. It's well worth doing the homework then. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
He, helium. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
OK, CJ, what term is used to describe the distance from | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
the centre to the perimeter of a circle? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Maybe we should ask Barry this about Big Ben again. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
DERMOT LAUGHS | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Barry is remembering, referring to a question that | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
Barry partially, he wasn't on his own, got wrong a few games ago | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
and they lost the money. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
The distance from the centre to the... | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
-Perimeter. -Perimeter. Is the radius. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Radius is correct in this case, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
radius I can confirm that. OK, one-all. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
Second question for you, Tony. Stephen Hawking and Charles Babbage | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
have been among the holders of the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at which university? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:32 | |
I'm not 100% certain on this at all. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
If I was to look at those three there, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
I'd have said Cambridge, so that's the option I'll go for. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
Cambridge. Charles Babbage, Stephen Hawking, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
amongst the holders of the Lucasian Professor of Maths, is correct. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Well done, Tony. Two out of two. CJ. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
The French doctor Rene Laennec is usually credited with the invention | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
of which piece of medical equipment? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
I don't think it's the clinical thermometer. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Stethoscope I thought was invented by a Frenchman, and | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
it certainly goes around "le neck", ha-ha! | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
I think that's rather good actually. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
Erm, I don't know about the hypodermic syringe, but | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
I thought stethoscope was invented by a Frenchman | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
so I'll go for stethoscope. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
And it is the right answer. "Goes around le neck!" | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
Correct. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
Right. Two-all. Tony, this may win it for you if you get this correct. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
In 1825, which scientists started | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
the Royal Institution's Annual Christmas Lectures for Children? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
Of the three there, I'm looking at Charles Darwin. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
-That's the option I'm gonna go for. -It's incorrect. Not Charles Darwin. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-I'm sorry. CJ, do you know? -I knew it wasn't Darwin. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
It's too early for him. I would have gone for Davy, but not knowing it. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
No, it's Faraday. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
A chance for CJ to take the round. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
CJ, the atmosphere on Mars is chiefly composed of which gas? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
I always get these mixed up. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
The problem is one of those occurred to me before the options came up. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
I'm just trying to connect it. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Oh, dear. I don't think it's hydrogen. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
I think it's one of the other two. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
I'm not at all sure, | 0:15:40 | 0:15:41 | |
but I'll have to go with the one that came to me, even though | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
I'm not entirely convinced. I'm going to go for nitrogen. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Mars. The atmosphere on Mars is chiefly composed of... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
Carbon dioxide. Tony, breathe a sigh of relief. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Got it wrong, CJ. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
So, you fight on, Tony. We go to sudden death for the first time in | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
the game. We remove those choices, so it's a lot harder. I've just got to hear the answer from you. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
In which country is Woomera, where | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Britain's experimental rocket called Blue Streak was tested in the 1960s? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
In which country is Woomera? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
W-O-O-M-E-R-A, all one word, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
where Britain's experimental rocket Blue Streak was tested in the 1960s? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:29 | |
I've not heard of this at all before. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
I'm just trying to think of countries this could have taken place in. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-I'll go for Holland. -OK. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-Eggheads, is it? -Australia. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
-No, it's Australia. -It's Australia. Clearly an aboriginal term. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
I forget what it means, but certainly aboriginal. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-Rocket testing range then. -They wouldn't have a word for that. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
No, but... In Australia, clearly you need the space. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Oh, yeah, yeah. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Australia is the answer there. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
So nothing for Tony. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Right, CJ, another chance for you to win the round. What compound | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
with the chemical formula HCHO is used in embalming solutions? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:18 | |
I've never been able to work out | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
any compounds from just being given their... | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
names like that. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
I should just know it from the embalming, shouldn't I? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
No, sorry. I'm just gonna pass, because it's obviously so obvious | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
and I've just gone blank. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-Eggheads? -I think it's going to be CJ's ultimate fate, to be pickled in formaldehyde. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
Formaldehyde, isn't it? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I just realised what it was. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Formaldehyde. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:51 | |
OK, you're let off, Tony. Right. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
Put everything that's occurred behind you. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
It all could hang on this question. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Which cousin of Charles Darwin developed systems of weather | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
mapping and classifying fingerprints and researched the inheritance of intelligence? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
My mind's gone blank. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:13 | |
I'm just gonna pass on that one. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-I don't know. -If you don't know it, you don't know it. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
CJ, other Eggheads? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Francis Galton. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Francis Galton. Francis Galton. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Not a scientist on everyone's lips. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
A tough one there for Tony. Let's see how tough this is for CJ. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
Which large, carnivorous dinosaur takes its name from | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
the Greek for "other lizard"? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Just going through them. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
There is one that springs to mind. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
Just checking if there are any others. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
It would help of course if I knew what the... | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-Greek did you say or Latin? -Greek. The Greek for "other lizard." | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
I'll go for allosaurus. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
It's correct. Allosaurus, "other lizard," which means, CJ, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
you have inched over the line. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
It's like one of those goals where | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
it is just over. CJ, you're through to the final round. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Tony, sorry to say, good performance in there, some real tough questions, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:25 | |
handled very well, but not enough. I'm sorry to say you won't be playing in the final round. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
As it stands, the Hammerheads have lost three brains from the final round, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
the Eggheads haven't lost any. A last chance coming up to knock one of these Eggheads out. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:43 | |
This subject's Music. Who'd like to play this? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
Dawn or Neil? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-Got to be Dawn. -Got to be me. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Got to be you, Dawn. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
It's Kevin or Chris? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-What do you think? -Your choice. -Go with Chris. -Chris for Music. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
OK. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Much joy(!) Let's have Dawn and Chris into the question room, please. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
Dawn, I believe you're a keen reader? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
I like to read the odd book, but I also like | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
to read a few trashy magazines. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
I quite like celebrity gossip. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-Were you hoping for Arts & Books to come up today? -That would have been a good one for me, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
but music is one of my other passions in life. I do like to go and see quite a few bands. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
I think hopefully it will stand me in good stead. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-Dawn, would you like to go first or second? -I'll go second. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
OK, that means you're first, Chris. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Who was the lead singer of the 1980s band T'Pau? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
That was Carol Decker. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Confident there. Yes, it is Carol Decker, lead singer of T'Pau. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Your question, Dawn. What was the first name of the female brunette member of the group Abba? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
I can't remember anyone called Anke | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
or Amelie in Abba, so it must be Anni-Frid. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Yes, that is correct. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Chris, second question. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Hushabye Mountain is a song from which musical of stage and screen? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
It would scarcely be Cabaret, which is set in Berlin at the time of the | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
rise of the Nazis and it's not in The Sound Of Music, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
so it's be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Eliminated the other two, got the right answer. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
Yes, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Hushabye Mountain. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
In 1973, which band had UK number one hit singles with both | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
Cum On Feel The Noize and Skweeze Me Pleeze Me? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
I'm pretty sure it's not 10cc. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
So it's between Wizzard and Slade. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
A friend of mine is from Wolverhampton and | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
grew up in the '70s and I do remember her playing the odd Slade track, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
so I think it might be Slade. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Slade is the answer. Well done. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
Chris, third question. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
Which band had a UK hit single with Brianstorm in 2007? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
I don't think it's McFly. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Brianstorm...hmm! | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
It doesn't sound like the Arctic Monkeys either, so I'll go, with no | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
great hopes of success, for The Kooks. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
The Kooks? Brianstorm in 2007 was by the Arctic Monkeys. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
There we are. Nothing there, so a great chance, Dawn. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
Just got to get this. I say just, but let's hope you do. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
The 18th century composer George Frideric Handel | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
is buried in which building? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Classical music isn't my strongest subject. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Certainly where they're buried would be an even weaker subject. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
I'm afraid it's going to be a complete and utter guess. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
I'm going for Westminster Abbey. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-Yes, it's correct! -Hey! | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
3-2, you're through to the final round. No place for you, Chris. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
This is what we've been playing towards - the final round, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. I'm afraid those of you | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
Mark, Kerry and Tony from the Hammerheads and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
would you leave the studio, please? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
Neil and Dawn, you're playing to | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
win the Hammerheads £8,000. Barry, Judith, Kevin and CJ, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
This time the questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
Hammerheads, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
Neil and Dawn, would you like to go first or second? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
I think second worked for me last time, so we'll try second again. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
Hammerheads deciding to let the Eggheads to begin. This is your question, Eggheads. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:16 | |
Which part of London is known as the Square Mile? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
-That's the City of London. -That's correct. Good start for you. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
Hammerheads, which bird of prey found in Britain | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
has the scientific name Buteo buteo and a wingspan of up to 1.5 metres? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:37 | |
Which bird of prey found in Britain has the scientific name Buteo buteo | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
and a wingspan of up to 1.5 metres? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
I don't think that | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
buzzard is a native of Britain, is it? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
I wasn't aware that buzzard was... | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Out of those, I'd be inclined to go for kestrel. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Shall we just go kestrel? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Which Bird of prey found in Britain has the scientific name Buteo buteo | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
and a wingspan of up to 1.5 metres? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
1.5 That's quite a big wingspan. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
-Are kestrels that big? -Buzzards are. I'm going for buzzards again now. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
Red kite, I don't think. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
I'm sure, when we went to the Test match in India, there were | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
-red kites flying around there. -We'll discount red kite then. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
Let's go with buzzard, shall we? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
We'll go for buzzard. Are you happy with buzzard? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah, we'll go buzzard. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
-Gone for it? -Yeah. -That was the one you discounted first off. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Because you were going of the "found in Britain," thinking there | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
are no buzzards in Britain. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
It is the wingspan defines this. It's buzzard, it's correct. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
-Hard work, weren't it? -Second questions apiece. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
What type of vegetable is the Italian cavolonero? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
Can we have a spelling? | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
C-A-V-O-L-O, then N-E-R-O. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
-I think it's cabbage. -OK. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
-Obviously, nero is black anyway. -I think it's cabbage. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
You get black carrots. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
But I know that cavolonero is leaves you eat, | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
-I know it. -OK, right. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
We'll go... OK? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
We'll go for cabbage then. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
-Do you get black cabbages? -Yes, in Italy. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
I've seen black carrots. You get black carrots. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
-Yes, but I know it's leaves. -Ah. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
It is cabbage. Well done, Eggheads. Worked that out. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
Now, Hammerheads, important you get this. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Pferd is the German word for which animal? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
The word is spelt P-F-E-R-D. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
I don't think it's cow. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
I think it's gonna be mouse or horse. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
I'm leaning to mouse. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
I think horse and cow possibly... | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
I would have heard the name for horse and cow at some point. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
OK, we'll go for mouse. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
We'll go for mouse. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
It's not mouse. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
No, not mouse. Eggheads? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
-It's horse. -But, Eggheads, as a result of that, it means you | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
win the game if you get this. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |
What is the common name of the guide to parliamentary procedure in the UK | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
that has been revised and used since the 19th century? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
-That is Erskine May. -Erskine May is correct. You've won. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:29 | |
Tell me a bit more about Erskine May. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
He wrote the definitive guide... | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
As you say, the definitive guide to parliamentary procedure. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
In terms of how you ask a question, how you approach the Speaker and things like that? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
Yeah, exactly. The whole rules of procedure for how to operate when in the Houses of Parliament. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
Erskine May won it for the Eggheads. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
Bad luck, Hammerheads. Those head-to-heads, some of them | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
slipped away from the team. Thanks very much for playing today. It's been a pleasure having you. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:04 | |
Good to see you. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
