0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the 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 > 0:00:35You might recognise them, as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz
0:00:35 > 0:00:40shows. They are the Eggheads. And taking on the awesome might of our
0:00:40 > 0:00:43quiz goliaths today are the Wild Indians from
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Ryedale in North Yorkshire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The team all know one other through the Women's Institute
0:00:48 > 0:00:52and have been friends for over 15 years. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Sylvia.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm 76 and a retired headteacher.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Val.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm 65 and a retired bank clerk.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Carole. I'm 66 and I'm a retired dental nurse.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Pat.
0:01:08 > 0:01:1270, and I'm a retired receptionist.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Frances.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm 61 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Welcome. Very good to have you here. Now, from
0:01:19 > 0:01:23the Women's Institute, Wild Indians. Is there a link here in the team name?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Well, we are sort of generally known around the country as Wild Indians.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Ah, right.- It just emphasises our feistiness.- Ah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Well, tell me a bit about some of the activities you get up to, then.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Oh, all sorts of things. We do... We walk,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40we play Scrabble,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42we go to quizzes occasionally.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Very social.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, best of luck today. Let's see how you do.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:49 > 0:01:51up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:01:54 > 0:01:55rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58So, Wild Indians, the Eggheads have won the last
0:01:58 > 0:02:03nine games, which means £10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Politics.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Who'd like to play this? It can be any one of you at this stage.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I don't really think any one of us wants to do Politics.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- But what do you think, girls? - I think it's got to be Sylvia.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Captain's choice.- I'm afraid it's got to be me, Dermot.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So, you're playing the captain's role.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Which Egghead would you like to knock out?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Because I'm sure you'll win, Sylvia. Anyone one of those five.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- I'll try CJ.- So, it's going to be Sylvia against CJ. The subject is
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Politics. Could I ask you to take your positions?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Just to make sure there's no conferring with your teammates.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42OK then, Sylvia, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I think I'd like to go first, Dermot.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, best of luck, Sylvia. It's Politics, and this is your first
0:02:50 > 0:02:54question. What phrase is commonly used to describe the British form of
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Parliamentary voting, whereby the candidate with the greatest number
0:02:58 > 0:02:59of votes wins the seat?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Well, I wasn't expecting to see any of those answers. I have
0:03:09 > 0:03:10to think about this.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I don't think it's early to bed.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I would think
0:03:18 > 0:03:21it's first past the post.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23First past the post. Bit like this game.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yep, there you are. It's correct.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27First past the post.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33CJ, first question for you. What now-ubiquitous prop for
0:03:33 > 0:03:37political punditry was first used by the BBC in the 1950s?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Mostly famously manipulated by Peter Snow, the swingometer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48The swingometer is the right answer.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51So, it's 1-1. Sylvia, second question.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of
0:03:56 > 0:04:03"class struggles" is a line from which pamphlet, published in 1848?
0:04:09 > 0:04:15I don't... I'm fairly certain it's not The Communist Manifesto.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Not so sure about the other two.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I know The Rights Of Man.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And I've not heard of the other one.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Well, this is... This is going to be an educated guess.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34But I believe it could be The Rights Of Man.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It's not The Rights Of Man.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's the one you discounted there, Sylvia.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42The Communist Manifesto.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Early days yet. Let's see how CJ does with his second question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50What position did Denis Healey hold in the Labour Government
0:04:50 > 0:04:53between 1964 and 1970?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Just checking. I'm not aware that he was ever
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Defence Secretary. Thinking about Home Secretary.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I'm pretty sure he was Deputy PM at some point.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Don't... Not sure, but I'm going to go for Deputy Prime Minister.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17He was Defence Secretary, CJ. So, Sylvia, stays all square.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22And if you get this right and CJ gets another one wrong, you've won
0:05:22 > 0:05:26the round. Sylvia, which Conservative politician
0:05:26 > 0:05:31who was Foreign Secretary from 1989 until 1995 has written
0:05:31 > 0:05:36a number of thrillers, including An End To Promises and Vote To Kill?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I haven't read either of those.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I don't think it was Michael Heseltine.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53And I'm...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55..fairly sure it wasn't Kenneth Baker,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58because I think he was something to do with schools.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Because we used to have Baker Days in those days.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03I'm going to go for Douglas Hurd.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You see, that's kind of Egghead-type thinking,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09using the bits of knowledge you have from elsewhere.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12And Douglas Hurd's the right answer.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well done.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So, CJ, you've got to get this.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20In American politics, what term is used to describe government
0:06:20 > 0:06:22spending that is intended to benefit
0:06:22 > 0:06:26a politician's constituents, in return for their support?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, dear.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38This is where I start digging myself into a hole,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42because there's only one of those terms I've heard of in connection
0:06:42 > 0:06:44with politics.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Which means it's undoubtedly going to be one of the other two.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'm going to discount beef basket, because I've just never heard of
0:06:52 > 0:06:55that at all, in any context.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I think it's one of the other two.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I haven't heard this. I'm just going to...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Even though I can understand how the other two would be applicable...
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I'm going to go for the one that sounds the least likely,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12simply because I have heard it as a term. But it might
0:07:12 > 0:07:14be something different. Pork barrel.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Yes, it is pork barrel. Yes!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, matching each other question for question there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Both getting one wrong at the same time.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It means, Sylvia, we go to sudden death.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So, taking away those choices now.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31So, I've just got to hear an answer from you to sort a winner out.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Whom did Corazon Aquino replace as President of the Philippines
0:07:35 > 0:07:39after a bitterly-contested 1986 election?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'm sorry, Dermot. I really don't know the answer to that one.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- OK. Your knowledge of Filipino presidents...- Is not there!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Not discussed much amongst the Wild Indians! Do you know, CJ?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Ferdinand Marcos.- Ferdinand Marcos.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Can you tell me the answer to this, CJ? If you do, you are through.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Which US president appointed Richard Nixon as his vice president?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Let me just make sure about this!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16See, this is when I start doubting myself over things I know perfectly well.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Eisenhower.- Well, CJ, you know I need a full name.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Dwight David Eisenhower.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Is the right answer, CJ. Yes. Dwight D Eisenhower.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29But that's the answer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Dwight D Eisenhower. Puts you through to the final round.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Sylvia, you won't be in the final round.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38That's a pity. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Well, what a loss to the Wild Indians.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Sylvia is going to be missing from the final round. No Eggheads gone.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48We've only played one round. Let's play another one,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51see if we can get rid of some of those Eggheads, Indians.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54This one is Music. Who'd like to play this? Music.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- It's got to be you, Pat, I think. - It looks like me then, Dermot.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- That's a song! It's got to be you!- Yes!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be CJ.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Chris?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Of course. Would you like to dance?!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I can't dance. I've got three left feet.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15OK, well, we'll just listen to the music instead.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Can I have Pat and Chris into the question room, please?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Pat, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'll try first, please.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Good luck with it, Pat. It's Music, and this is your first question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Which part of the day is frequently mentioned in the lyrics of the song
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, let's see.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I think I can...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48..cancel out halfway through the evening.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52And round about midnight. I think it might be early in the morning.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Er-ligh in the morning, as it goes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's the right answer, of course.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, done, Pat. And a good start. OK, Chris. First question for you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01What was the title of
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Elkie Brooks' first UK hit single?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Very good song it is, too. It's Pearl's A Singer.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It's is, that's right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15That is one question correct each.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17And back to you, Pat.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22In 1990, U Can't Touch This became the first UK top-ten hit single
0:10:22 > 0:10:24for which rap artist?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32This is not my era.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Don't play much rap at the WI dances?!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38No, we don't. I'm more into musicals!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Let's see.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'll go with MC Hammer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK. Why are you going for that, Pat?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- It just seemed to jump out at me.- OK. Well, you must have heard it then.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That's the right answer. U Can't Touch This.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well done. There we are. All green means it's correct.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Chris, who wrote the songs Alexander's Ragtime Band and
0:11:02 > 0:11:03God Bless America?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Isaiah Baline,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12who naturalised himself as Irving Berlin.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Ah, bit of extra information, as we always get from the Eggheads.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Irving Berlin is correct.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19There we are, two each. You're going well, Pat.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Let's see if you can keep it up on this one.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It might just knock Chris out. You never know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31Potato Head Blues from 1927 is said by many to be which
0:11:31 > 0:11:34jazz musician's greatest recording?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Oh, right. This is an early one.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Potato Head Blues.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Potato Head Blues.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Yes, I've heard of it, but which one, I'm not quite sure.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'll rule out Louis Armstrong.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'll go for Fats Waller.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's not Fats Waller. No, Pat.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Oh, dear.- Sorry. Do you know, Chris, of the other two?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yeah, well, Duke Ellington was more the swing-band era.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It was Louis Armstrong.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Louis Armstrong, the first one you discounted there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10So, that gives Chris an opportunity to take the round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Chris, the band leader Lionel Hampton
0:12:14 > 0:12:17is best known for his work on which instrument?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, I don't see him sat there playing a harp.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25And I don't see him stood up playing a glockenspiel.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29So, presumably he stood and played a vibraphone, with the hammers.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Vibraphone.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK. Just worked it out from how it would work as a band leader.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's the right answer, as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Vibraphone, Lionel Hampton. Well done.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Good round from both of you. Just that last one wrong from you, Pat.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47That's cost you a place, I'm sorry to say, in the final round.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Well, as it stands, two of the Wild Indians won't be in the final round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57All the Eggheads are slated to appear at this point.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59But that can easily change. Three Wild Indians left
0:12:59 > 0:13:02to try and knock a couple of them out.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Our next category today is Food & Drink. Who would like to play this?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And it's Val, Carole or Frances.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10- I shall do it.- OK, Frances.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16And from the Eggheads there's Kevin, Judith or Daphne.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17I'll go for Kevin, I think!
0:13:17 > 0:13:21OK. Let's have Frances and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24So, Frances, let's see what happens.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Good luck, Frances. Here's your first question, then.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Minced, cooked pork mixed with cereal, often
0:13:37 > 0:13:42sold in a tin and typically eaten in slices, is commonly known as what?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Well, I don't think you eat it for breakfast or dinner.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So I think it's probably luncheon meat.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Luncheon meat is correct, yes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Good start.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Yeah, hear, hear. Well done, Frances. Kevin, first question
0:13:57 > 0:14:01for you. Which food is fried to make the dish of hash browns?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Something I have been known to eat. Potato.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Potato, yep. That's the right answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Constituent of hash browns. Back to you, Frances.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13On the menu in a French restaurant,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17what would you normally expect to find in the section marked "viandes"?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Well, I do love eating in French restaurants.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27And under the "Viandes" I would look for meats.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Yep. Meats, correct. Viandes.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Kevin, what is the name for
0:14:33 > 0:14:38the technique of making a sauce by adding stock or wine to a pan
0:14:38 > 0:14:41containing the caramelised residue of seared foods?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well, I must admit, I don't think I've
0:14:47 > 0:14:50ever heard of the other two terms.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So that could be... I'm sure I've seen a different
0:14:52 > 0:14:54definition than that for deglazing.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58But I don't know the other two terms at all. So, I'm going for deglazing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Deglazing is the right answer, Kevin. Yes. It's all square again.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Two each.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Well, Frances, can you put the pressure back on Kevin?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Pecan nuts come from a species of what tree?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18They have
0:15:18 > 0:15:20an American sound to me.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24But I'm not sure which tree.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I suppose I should go for the one that sounds most American,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30which is hickory.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Gone for hickory, and you've got hickory.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's the right answer.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Well done, Frances.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43OK, Kevin has to get this, then. In France, what type of food is a berlingot?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Don't know, unfortunately.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I've never heard that... I'm sure I've never heard that
0:15:55 > 0:15:58in relation to sandwich. So...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01That's not saying much, really, given the choices.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- I don't know it, so I'm going to say sausage.- Sausage.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11OK, a berlingot. What do you think, Judith?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Your time in France, you come across...?- I thought...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Boiled sweets in my mind,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- but I don't really know.- OK.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Well, Frances, you've just toppled the three-times World Quiz Champion.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It is a boiled sweet.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Boiled sweet. Judith thought it might be that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah, boiled sweet, a berlingot. Congratulations, Frances.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34The Wild Indians fight back.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:37 > 0:16:43Well, the Wild Indians claimed a scalp there, and what a scalp!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Mr Ashman there. The Wild Indians
0:16:45 > 0:16:47have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49but the Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52And we play our last head to head before the final round.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54This is Arts & Books.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Now, who of you between Val and Carole fancy it? Arts & Books.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Yes. Oh, yes. I'll have to, won't I? I've got Frances to help me.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It's got to be, yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, right.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Right, OK. Stay with us, Val, while we choose you a player.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Daphne or Judith haven't played.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Well, that's really difficult!
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Yeah, I will go for Judith. Yes. - OK. Judith, on Arts & Books.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Could I ask Val and Judith to go to the question room, please?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Right then, Val. We'll see if we can get you to
0:17:30 > 0:17:32follow Frances through into the final round
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and join Carole. She is guaranteed to be there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Hasn't played any of the head to heads.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And Val, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I'd like to go first, please.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Best of luck, Arts & Books. First question to you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53King Solomon's Mines is an 1885 adventure story by which writer?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It isn't HG Wells, because he was later.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06John Buchan, that's Thirty-Nine Steps.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I'll go for the H Rider Haggard one, please.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13H Rider Haggard, King's Solomon's Mines.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yes, it's right. Well done. Good start.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Judith, the term "singleton", to describe a person without a partner,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25was introduced in which novel?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Don't know.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Sounds... Sounds American.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Have you read any of these? - I read Bridget Jones's Diary.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And that's very English.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49So, I don't know. It's sounds sort of vaguely politically correct.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Not sort of Bridget Jones-type language.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57I don't know about the other two at all.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I think I'm going to go Lucy Sullivan, maybe.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Yeah.- OK.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Why not?- It's the one you've read.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Bridget Jones's Diary.- Really?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Yeah. Bridget Jones's Diary. - I'm surprised.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Good news, Val. It gives you a chance
0:19:12 > 0:19:16to take an even bigger lead.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19What colour, Val, is the artist's pigment viridian?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Well, it sounds a bit like verdigris.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I'm going to go with the verdigris thought.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Viridian.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41It's not brown.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'm having second thoughts about it. Viridian.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'll go with green.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48This is one of those times
0:19:48 > 0:19:52when giving you the choices makes it harder. You are right.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Oh, great.- Viridian - green.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Without choices, you'd have gone for green.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Probably, yes.- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK. Well, anyway,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03that's great news. Means Judith has to get this or she's out.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Judith, Racing Demon and The Absence Of War are plays
0:20:08 > 0:20:11by which contemporary British dramatist?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's definitely not Alan Bennett.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I think it's David Hare.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- David Hare - Racing Demon, The Absence Of War. Eggheads?- Yes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yes, it's the right answer.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Well done, Judith. Kept you in it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But Val can decide it if she gets this.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Val, which village gave its name to the 19th-century school
0:20:33 > 0:20:35of French landscape painters,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38of which Theodore Rousseau was a leader?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, it's not Giverny.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Because that's Monet... Um...
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Rousseau...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Pont-Avent...that's Lautrec.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I'm not sure, but I will go for Barbizon.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The answer is...Barbizon. Correct.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Judith knows this. You said it to me last time you won in this category.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I know. I knew you'd put the kibosh on me.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18She's had 15 straight victories in Arts & Books up to this point.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- I mentioned it, Judith said, "Oh, dear, no."- You did it, you see?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24You must keep your mouth zipped.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Well done, Val. That's you into the final round. Judith won't be there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:21:41 > 0:21:43won't take part in this round.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, Sylvia and Pat from the Wild Indians,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:21:53 > 0:21:58So, Val, Carol and Frances, you're playing to win £10,000.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02CJ, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Oh, no!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05The Eggheads' reputation
0:22:05 > 0:22:08As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Wild Indians, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three brains?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21And Val, Carol and Frances, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- First.- Shall we continue to go first?- Yes, I think first.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We'll go first, Dermot.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35OK. Well, best of luck, Wild Indians. It's General Knowledge. Here's your first question.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Peat is the first stage in
0:22:37 > 0:22:40the transformation of vegetation into what?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46We all agree it's coal.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Coal?- Coal.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Is the right answer, yes. Peat.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52OK, Eggheads' first question.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Gander is the name for the male of which species of bird?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Goosey, goosey gander.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I like the way you say that, Daphne. You're going for?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Goose.- Goose?- Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10It's the right answer. Yes, goose.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12OK, Wild Indians. Second question.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16An escutcheon is an element of heraldic design in the form of what?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- It's not on your helmet. - It's a sword or helmet.- No.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- It's a shield. - We think it's a shield.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- A shield.- Yes, Dermot.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Confident and quick answers here.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And correct ones. The most important thing.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Shield is escutcheon. So, two for you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Eggheads, which county of Ireland is situated
0:23:40 > 0:23:43between Galway Bay and the Shannon Estuary?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Sorry, could you say it again?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Which county of Ireland is situated between Galway Bay
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and the Shannon Estuary?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Clare...- Cork's too far south.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Cork's on the south west and Wicklow's on the east.- Over there.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- So, it has to be Clare. - Yeah, it is right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07That would be Clare. County town - Ennis.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Clare is the right answer. Yes, Eggheads, you got it there,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14between Galway Bay and the Shannon Estuary. So, it's two-all.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Wild Indians, your third question.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19On the 28th of May 1940,
0:24:19 > 0:24:24King Leopold III surrendered which country to the Germans?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29We think that's Belgium, Dermot.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- King of the Belgians?- Yup.- It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Three for you then. Well, if it stays that way after this question,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40the money goes to the Wild Indians. Eggheads, to which family of flowers
0:24:40 > 0:24:43does the scarlet pimpernel belong?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- I know...- It's a little flower.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I would be inclined towards primrose simply because it's a small flower.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55That's what immediately came to mind.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It's not a hyacinth.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- No, it can't be. - It's a little hedgerow flower.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- It's a tiny flower and the primrose is the only small one.- Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The primrose.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Primrose?- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10It is. It's the right answer. Primrose is correct.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13The scarlet pimpernel. OK, well, Wild Indians, we go to sudden death,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and that means we now withdraw all those choices.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20So, could be one question away again from the money.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Who played the role of the unpleasant studio executive
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Les Grossman in the 2008 film Tropic Thunder?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Has there been a WI outing to see Tropic Thunder?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- There hasn't been, no.- Oh, dear. - No, unfortunately.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Unfortunately.- Have you any idea?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't know the film at all.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Nor do I.- No. Right, can we think of an actor, then?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Johnny Depp.- Could be.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- What?- Studio owner.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Could be someone older, though, couldn't it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- Go for it then, Carol.- Shall we go for that?- You go for it.- Right.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Yes.- Well, I'm getting the blame.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00We can't think of one. So we've sort of pulled an actor
0:26:00 > 0:26:02that we think might have done it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04And we're going for Johnny Depp.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Johnny Depp. OK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11It's not Johnny Depp. It was... it's a cameo. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- He's only on screen briefly, but it's Tom Cruise.- Tom Cruise.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Bad luck, that's the first one you've got wrong in the final round.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It does mean the Eggheads can win it if they get this.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26The Boston terrier is the result of cross breeding terriers
0:26:26 > 0:26:28with which other dog?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Could be Cerberus for all I know.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32It's a gangly-looking thing!
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Is it?- Yeah, or am I thinking of the Bedlington terrier?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Do you know what it looks like? - Not particularly. But I think it's a gangly thing.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Could be crossed with a greyhound. - I've...- What came into your head?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I had a feeling it was something like a bulldog,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- or a Staffordshire terrier. - A Staffy is, yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Yeah. But I don't know, when he said it, I thought it was a bulldog.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00If it was a gangly-looking thing, I'd be inclined towards greyhound.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02No, no, I don't think it is. Definitely.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- You had a slight instinct with that? - Yeah.- Let's go with that.- Yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Oh, quite a debate. The Eggheads in some trouble with this.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I know.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Boston terrier.- Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18A bulldog.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- That was your inkling. So that's your answer - bulldog?- Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It just...you know, we didn't know.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- And it's obviously wrong. - You've saved it, Daphne.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31It's the right answer. Bulldogs. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38That, may I say, Wild Indians,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42just really explains the whole game, what these Eggheads are all about.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47The things they pull out of this kind of back end of the memory.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Somehow, somewhere, you must have heard it, Daphne.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- You've pulled it up from somewhere. - No, read it, probably.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Thanks very much for playing today, Wild Indians. It's been an absolute joy to have you here.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues...just!
0:28:05 > 0:28:11I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £10,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you on that form?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see
0:28:15 > 0:28:19if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21£11,000 says they don't.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Until then, goodbye.
