These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Their quiz pedigree is well known | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
are Mills and Broom, from Essex. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
This team of friends and family have paid homage to the famous series of romance novels | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
by combining their surnames. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
But they're rather quiet when it comes to admitting if they read them! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hopefully we'll find out. Let's meet them. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm 54 and I'm a dispensing optician. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm Francis. I'm 30 and I'm a ticket office clerk. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi, I'm Emma. I'm 24 and I'm a customer service representative. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
Hi, I'm Darren. I'm 25 and I'm a professional services coordinator. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Hi, I'm Kerry. I'm 51 and I'm an IT manager. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
So, Andrew and friends and family, welcome. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-Do you read them? -Nope. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-Nobody? OK. -I have! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-Oh, you have? Right. -Yes. -Many? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-A few. Not that many. -OK. So, you've come together | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
because you're related, partly? Tell us how. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
Son, daughter, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
prospective son-in-law and ex-next door neighbour. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
And if the prospective son-in-law messes it up today, does he... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
does he get the chance taken away? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
No. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Marrying your daughter! OK, here we go. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
for our challengers. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
So, Mills and Broom, the Eggheads have won the last two games. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. Are you ready? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
First head-to-head is on the subject of Music. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
Who wants this? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-Me? -Yeah, Emma. Want to go for it straight away? -Yeah, I'll go for it. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-Who, who are we going... -Who are you going to take? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-Go for Barry? -Was it Barry? Yes. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-Go on then, go for Barry. -OK. Good civilised decision making there. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
Emma from Mills and Broom against Barry from the Eggheads. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Sometimes fights break out over, you know, who does it and who they take on. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
But you're obviously a very calm team. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
I will ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Music in turn. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
And, Emma, you can choose the first or second set? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
First, please. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Here we go. In 1988 The Art Of Noise featuring Tom Jones | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
had a UK Top Ten hit single with which song, | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
originally a hit for Prince? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
OK, I know Prince sang Kiss. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
So, think it might be that one. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
I don't remember the other two. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
So, I'm going to go for Kiss. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Well, done. Kiss is right. Good start. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Barry, what general name is given to a funeral song or tune? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
Well, I've heard some arias that were pretty much like dirges. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
But I won't mention who the sopranos were. But it's a dirge. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Dirge is right. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Back to you, Emma. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
What type of musical instrument is a clavier? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
OK. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Not sure. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Trying to think back to my music lessons at school. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
Don't think it's a keyboard. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
I've got a feeling it's something that you hit with a stick. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
So, I think it might be drum. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Drum is your answer. Sounds like something you clavit? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-Yeah. -You give it a big clav?! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
But it's not. It's actually keyboard. Sorry. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Barry, your second question. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Nelly Furtado | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
had a UK number one hit single in 2006 with which song? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
Oh, dear. I haven't a clue. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
I'll tell the truth and this will be an all-out guess. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
And I shall try Maneater. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Ha-ha! You got it right. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
How do they do it? It is mystical. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
So, that means, Emma, you need this one. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
In which city was Rod Stewart born in 1945? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:09 | |
OK. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
I'm not sure again. I thought he was Scottish. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
I was hoping a Scottish city would come up. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
I'm going to go for London, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
because I don't think he's got a Manchester or Birmingham accent. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
So, I'm going to go for London. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Really well played. You're right. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Well done. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
If they'd thrown in a Scottish one, it would have been problems. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
Yeah. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Barry, who released the classic jazz album, Giant Steps, in 1959? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:52 | |
1959 sounds a little early for John Coltrane. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Miles Davis was probably just starting around that time. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
It sounds about spot on for Charlie Mingus. I shall go for him. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
No, it was John Coltrane. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Ha! Every time I say that. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
So, you are level | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
after your multiple choice questions. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
We go now to sudden death. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
That bit harder. You have to give me the answer. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Emma, here we go. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
"And although it's always crowded, you still can find some room" | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
are lyrics from which Elvis Presley UK hit single? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
I'm going to go for Jailhouse Rock. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
It's a good thought, that. It's not right. Eggheads? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
I'd have thought Heartbreak Hotel. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Heartbreak Hotel. # Since ma baby left me. # | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-That one. -Don't ever do that again. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
It wasn't me, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
it wasn't me. Barry, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
this to take the round. Which female singer | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
had a UK Top 20 hit single in 1986 with True Colours? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
# I see my true colours come shining on. # It was Cyndi Lauper! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
-I won't sing, if you don't sing. -Ha-ha-ha! | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
That would spare everyone a lot of grief. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Cyndi Lauper is right, Barry. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
Well done. After sudden death Barry takes it. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Well done to him. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
Emma, you were beaten. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
You won't be able to help in the final round. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
Both of you come back and rejoin your teams here in the studio. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
The challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
The Eggheads have lost none, so far. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Next subject is Film and Television. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Who would like this? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-Shall I have a go? -That's one for you is it, Francis? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-Yeah, I'll have a go. -Yeah. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
-Who do you want to take? -Who shall I have a go against? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-Erm... -Shall we have Judith, yeah? -Go on then. -I'll try against Judith. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
OK. Francis from Mills and Broom versus Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
OK, I will ask each of you | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
three questions on Film and Television. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Francis, the first or second set? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Can I go first, please? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Here we go, good luck. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
It Takes Two, presented by Claudia Winkleman, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
is a spin-off from which TV show? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Well, as it says It Takes Two, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
I think I'll get rid of X-Factor, straight away. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
I can probably dismiss Britain's Got Talent, straight away. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
I'll go for Strictly Come Dancing. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
You've got it right. Well done. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Judith, your first question. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Who presented the TV show Family Fortunes from 1987 to 2002? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
Oh, gosh! Who was it? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
Family Fortunes... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
I'm torn between Les Dennis and Jim Davidson. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
I think it's Les Dennis. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Your answer's Les Dennis? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-Hmm. -You're right, well done. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Here we go, Francis. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
Which actor starred in the films | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Swordfish, The Prestige and Kate and Leopold? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
I've never seen any of them films. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
So, don't think it's Hugh Jackman, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
because he seems to be quite an action sort of film person. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
It's going to be a guess | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
between either James Marsden and Patrick Stewart. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
So, I'm going to go for... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
"boldly going to go" for Patrick Stewart. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Patrick Stewart's your answer. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
It's wrong, actually. Eggheads? | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-It's Hugh Jackman. -Hugh Jackman. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-Oh, well. -There needs to be a word for when | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
people rule out the right answer immediately. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-A Daphne-ism(?) -I was going to say "a Barry"! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-Oh, thank you(!) -You did a Barry. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
It can't be that one, must be one of the other two. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
-It's called instinct denial. -Instinct denial? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
That's interesting, Judith. Your question. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
The Logies are television industry awards presented in which country? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
Logies? As in Logie Baird? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
-L-O-G-I-E-S. -The Logies. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
I don't think it sounds very Canadian to me. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
Where do you... Which country is it, then? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Canada. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
I said "Canadian". | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
I know, but I have to check. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
You could then say, "I meant Australia"! | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-OK. It's Australia. -Oh, is it? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
Yeah. It sounds very Australian. Not Canadian. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Hand-to-hand combat here. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
One point each. Francis, take the advantage with this question. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Richard Burton never won an Academy Award, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
despite being nominated on how many occasions during his career? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
Richard Burton. Let's have a think. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
I'm not really too sure, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
so I'm going to have a guess. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
We'll go for lucky seven, I think. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Lucky seven is right. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Lucky. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
That's amazing. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
An amazing fact. Judith... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Which Star Trek actor | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
directed the 1987 comedy film, Three Men And A Baby? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
I think it might be James Doohan. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-If you get it wrong, you know what happens. -Yup. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-Trap door opens. -Sin bin. -Yup. -Sin bin? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
Sin bin. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:03 | |
-Oh! -It was Leonard Nimoy. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
So, well done, Francis. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Indeed your team, team now pulsating to my left. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
You'll be in the final round. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
Judith, you won't. Do both of you come back to the studio. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
As it stands, the challengers | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
and the Eggheads have lost one brain each from the final round. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Our next subject is Sport. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Who wants this? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
-That's going to have to be me. -That's going to be you! | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-Darren? -Yes. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
-Shall we go for CJ? -CJ, yeah. -CJ, please. -Good. OK. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:41 | |
Darren from Mills and Broom versus CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
Please go to the question room now. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
I will ask each of you three questions on Sport, in turn. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Darren, the first or second set? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
I would like to go first, please. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Here we go. William Gallas was stripped of the captaincy | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
of which football club in November 2008, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
after publicly criticising his team mates? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
William Gallas. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
Used to play, or he does play now, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
for one of my rival teams. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Not a big fan of him or the team. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
It's... It's not Liverpool. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
It's not Chelsea. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
It's Arsenal. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Arsenal is right. Well done. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
Am I to deduce... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
Are you a Spurs fan? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-I am, yes. -I thought | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
there was a bit of jealousy creeping in. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-Not jealousy, no. -Ha-ha! | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
CJ, Sanath Jayasuriya and Mahela Jayawardena | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
have played international cricket for which country? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
So, they're cricketers, then? Good. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
I've heard the names, but I don't know which team they play for, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
so I'm just going to try this out on the language. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
They sound Sri Lankan to me. So, we'll go for Sri Lanka. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
You have got it right. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:10 | |
Darren, the tennis player Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
who won four Grand Slam singles titles during her career, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
was born in which country? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Not the biggest tennis fan in the world. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
I do like to watch. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
I don't believe it is Brazil. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
I don't think they produce too many top-class tennis players. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:44 | |
It doesn't sound like a Spanish name. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
So, I'm going to go with Argentina. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Argentina's wrong, I'm afraid. It is Spain. It is Spain. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
So, CJ, you can take the lead now. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Which golf major did James Braid | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
win five times, between 1901 and 1910? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
Well, the US Masters wasn't in existence then. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
I'm just trying to think if the US Open was. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
I'm going to go for the British Open. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
British Open is your answer. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
It's correct, CJ. Well done. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Over to you now, Darren. You need this one. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
Which boxer did Lennox Lewis defeat | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
in his last fight before announcing his retirement in 2004? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
Vitali Klitschko, I believe, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
is the...one of the real big boxers. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
He's about seven foot. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Mike Tyson retired long before Lennox Lewis, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:59 | |
so I'm not going to add him to the equation. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
But I'm sure Lennox has | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
beaten the one in the middle before, but it went to rematch. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
So, I'm going to go straight down the middle and go for Vitali Klitschko. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
Vitali Klitschko... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
is the right answer. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Pulled it out the fire, well done. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
CJ, American football games in the NFL are overseen by seven officials. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
The referee, the head linesman, the line judge, the umpire, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
the back judge, the side judge and which other? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
Well, if it makes sense it would be | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
goal judge or ball judge. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
You need someone to see if someone scored. So it's a goal judge. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Oh, yeah. Course it is(!) | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Except, it's not. It's a field judge. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
So, we're even after | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
three multiple choice questions. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
It goes to sudden death, Darren. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
It gets that bit harder, cos this is not multiple choice. Are you ready? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
-Yes. -Which Australian city | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
hosted the 2006 Commonwealth Games? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
I believe it's, maybe, where they play the tennis, being a sporty area. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:33 | |
I'm going to go for Melbourne. Melbourne. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
Melbourne is correct. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:38 | |
OK, CJ, your question. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
If you get this wrong, well, you know what happens. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
Which Trinidad and Tobago sprinter, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
born in 1973, won four Olympic medals, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
in individual sprint events, during his career? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
There are two I'm thinking of. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
I can't think whether the second was...what nationality he was. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
Course, neither of them might be right, of course. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Actually, I can't think of either's nationality. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
I'm thinking of Ato Boldon and Frankie Fredericks | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
and I'm trying to think where they were born. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Well, four means it's going to be a long career. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
And I don't think Ato Boldon was that long. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
I'm going to go for Frankie Fredericks. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Previously, you got questions right where you knew nothing. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
Now, you knew almost everything and you got it wrong. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
-Is it Ato Boldon? -It was Ato Boldon! -Ha-ha-ha! | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
That's the Gods wreaking vengeance on you, CJ. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
So, Darren, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
well done. You've knocked out an Egghead on sudden death. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
Good news for your team. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
You will join them in the final. Please both of you come back to us. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
Challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
Eggheads have lost two brains now. Last subject is Food and Drink. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:06 | |
Who would like this? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
It's going to be me! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
OK, Kerry. Who do you want to take on? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-Kevin? Food and Drink? -I'd like to take on Kevin, please. -OK. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
-I'm shocked(!) -Yeah! | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Kerry from Mills and Broom versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions now. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
Three questions, multiple choice. First or second set? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
I'd like the first set, please, Jeremy. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Kerry, what do chefs often add to the pan of water | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
when cooking a poached egg? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Ketchup would turn it a funny colour. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Whisky, I wouldn't like, and I love poached eggs. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
I'm pretty sure it's vinegar. That's my answer. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Vinegar is correct. Well done. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
Kevin, saddle is a well-known cut of which meat? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
Not aware of that being pheasant. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
I've heard of it in relation to pork. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
Venison. I'll say venison. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
You're right. Venison is correct. Well done. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
Kerry, what technical term is used to denote a bottle's empty space | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
between the cork and the top of the wine? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
The obvious answer would be corkage, | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
but for some reason, borage seems to ring a bell somewhere. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
So, I'm going for borage. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
That's wrong, it's ullage. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
But I've never heard of that. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
What's borage, Eggheads? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-A herb. -A herb? -You put it in Pimms. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
So, unless a herb has got stuck in that space, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-that would be the wrong answer. -Yes, it would. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
Kevin, what treatment does a bagel have before it is baked? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
I can't see that it'd be frozen. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
Eh, I'm... Fried in sunflower oil. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
-It was wrong, I'm afraid. -Poached in boiling water? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
-Yes. -That was my first instinct. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
-Baking ones are always tricky. -Yup. If you don't do it, yeah! | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Yeah, well, very few of us do. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Kerry, your third question. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
Also known as the reference nutrient intake, the recommended daily amount | 0:21:41 | 0:21:48 | |
of calcium for a person aged 19 or over, is how many milligrams? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
That would be 2.7 grams, 1.7 grams or 0.7 of a gram. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:06 | |
I'm going to plump for the 2,700, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
because even at that age I still think you need an intake of calcium. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
That's way over, I'm afraid. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
700 is correct. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
Quite a bit less. You might have | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
calcium poisoning | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
at that level. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Kevin, your question for the round. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Coffee is made from which part of the Coffea arabica plant? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
I don't think it's the root nodules. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
I think it's the berries. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
-That's your answer? -Yeah. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
Spot on, Kevin. Well done. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
You've won on, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
I think we can say, not your strongest subject, Food and Drink. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
I think we can safely say that, yeah. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Kerry, you won't be able to help in the final round. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
So, please both of you rejoin your team mates. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
the final round - as always, General Knowledge. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost head-to-heads | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Emma and Kerr from Mills and Broom and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
would you please now leave the studio? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
Well, Andrew, Francis and Darren, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
father, son and prospective son-in-law, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
you're playing to win Mills and Broom £3,000. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
Barry, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
They are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
So, Mills and Broom, the question is | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
are your three brains better than the Eggheads'? What do you think? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
-Definitely. -Good, we like that. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
-We've gone first all the way, so... -We'll stick with first, please. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
Here we go. | 0:23:58 | 0:23:59 | |
Let's hope you can win that 3,000. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
The Associate, published in January 2009, is a legal thriller | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
by which author? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
The only one I've heard of on there is James Patterson, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
just from looking round bookshops. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
-The only one I've heard of is John Grisham. -Right. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
So, it's a 50-50 between John Grisham... | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
-And James Patterson. -Yeah. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
-James Patterson? -Yeah. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
-Go for James Patterson. -We'll go for James Patterson. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
It's wrong. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
It's Grisham. It's Grisham. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
How could we work that out? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
I guess he has similar titles. The Firm, The, what...? | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
Of the three, he's the one who specialises in legal thrillers. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
-Legal? -Yeah. The other two, | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
there are legal aspects to them, | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
but they're not known for legal thrillers. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
Here's your question. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:57 | |
In which year was George W Bush born? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
Same year as Bill Clinton. Yeah, 1946. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
I'm reliably informed that's it's 1946. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
The same year as? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
-Bill Clinton. -Is that right? -Yeah. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
You're correct. '46. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
One year after the War. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
OK, fight back. Here we go, Mills and Broom. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
What name is given to a line on a map, | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
drawn through geographical points, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
recording equal amounts of precipitation, | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
during a specific period? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
-Isobar is pressure. -Pressure. -Isotherm is temperature. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
So, it must be isohyet. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
-Yeah, sounds good to me. -Sounds good. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
We'll go for isohyet. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
You got it right. Well done. Well done. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Isohyet. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
They're on your tail, Eggheads. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
The cost of a colour television licence | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
in the UK rose to what figure in April 2008? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:10 | |
I'm not sure, I thought it... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
I thought it went up from 147, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
so that would make it in the middle, 159. But it might be 139. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
I don't think it's...it's certainly not the higher figure. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:32 | |
No, I think as Barry says... | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
You think? OK. I don't know. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-Trouble is I do this by direct debit and it just... -Yes, so do I. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
-It just goes, so... -I think it's 139. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Yeah, I...of the three, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
that was my instinct, of the three, | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
cos I don't think it would have gone up. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
I've a simpler way of doing it, I do it by my wife. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Ha! Well, we all pay by direct debit. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
But I think it's £139.50. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:58 | |
£139.50 is correct. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Well done. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
Would have been embarrassing if you got that wrong. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Question three. In Ancient Rome, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
a lustrum was a period of how many years? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
-Right. In Rome? -In Ancient Rome, a lustrum - | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
L-U-S-T-R-U-M. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
In Roman figures, five is V. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
25 is XXV. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
50 is L. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
Lustrum? 50? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
-Yes, sounds good. -We'll go with your wisdom. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
-Thank you very much(!) 50. -50. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
-If you get it wrong you know the Eggheads have won? -We do. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
And I love the logic. The L, the 50. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
But it's five. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
It's five. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
They have pipped you at the post. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads - you've won. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
Commiserations, challengers. Does it feel OK, being beaten by them? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:16 | |
-We'll recover. -We won't be the last, will we? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
No, that's for sure. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
They have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
And they still reign supreme over Quizland. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
so the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you, I wonder? | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
£4,000 says they don't. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
