These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads. The show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Their quiz pedigree is well known, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Taking on the might of our quiz champions today are | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
the Tranceformers. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Everyone on the team belongs to The Hypnotherapy Association - | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
an independent professional body in Britain representing | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
approved hypnotherapists in active practice. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Josephine. I'm 59 and I'm a hypno-psychotherapist. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
Hello, my name's Costa. I'm 55 and I'm a holistic hypnotherapist. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello, I'm Helen. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
I'm 52 and I'm a hypnotherapist. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Hi, I'm Ken. I'm 56 and I'm also a hypnotherapist. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Hi, I'm Ellen. I'm 53 and I'm a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
Tranceformers, welcome. Hi, Josephine. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-Hello. -So it's hypnotherapy as opposed to hypnotism? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-Yes. -Or are they the same thing? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
Not quite. There is a fine distinction. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Generally, you think of a hypnotist as being a stage hypnotist. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Where hypnotherapy is used for therapeutic or psychotherapeutic | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
practices within hypnosis. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
I know we can't show how you do it, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
but is it the look into my eyes thing? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Only if you really want to. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
There are other ways of sending people under? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
There are all sorts of ways of inducing hypnosis in people, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
including eye fixation. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Using things like a spiral or, normally, I just talk them to death. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
-It's a lot more fun. -Can some people be hypnotised and some can't? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
If you look at the Eggheads, would you say that some | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
of them wouldn't go under? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
No, from the evidence we've seen, the more intelligent and imaginative | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
a person is, the greater the subject they are for hypnotherapy. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
So they'd all be absolutely wonderful. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Well, I think the opposite might be the case. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
You'd have trouble with them. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
OK, good luck. Use your mental powers here. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
to the next show. So, Tranceformers, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
the Eggheads have won the last 11 games, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
which means £12,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-Are you ready? -We'll have a darn good go. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Challengers, who wants this? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
All right, Arts & Books? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-Ellen. -Ellen, against? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Arts & Books. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
Choose any one of these unhypnotised people. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
I'd like Chris, please. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
So it's Ellen from the Tranceformers versus Chris | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
from the Eggheads. To ensure no conferring, take your positions | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
in the Question Room. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
-Ellen, you're originally from the US? -I am, yes. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-And you came over here a little while ago? -21 years ago. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
You haven't been a hypnotherapist the whole of that time? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-No, just for the past 10 years. -Terrific. Good luck in this round. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
Three multiple-choice questions on Arts & Books in turn. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final round. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Would you like the first or second set, Ellen? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
I'd like the first, please. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
Here's your first question. The Joseph Conrad novella, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Heart of Darkness, is primarily set in which continent? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Now, I know this. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
It is somewhere in the back of my head. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Um... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
I'm... | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
I'm going between Africa and South America. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
Heart of Darkness. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
I'm being more drawn to Africa. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
I'll take Africa, please. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Africa is right. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Specifically the Congo? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
-The Congo, yes. -Famously the inspiration for the movie, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Apocalypse Now. Here's your question, Chris. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
"Poor Tom's a-cold," is a famous quotation | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
from which Shakespeare tragedy? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
That's from King Lear. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
That's the correct answer. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Back to you, Ellen. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Who wrote the 1939 novel, Goodbye To Berlin? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Goodbye To Berlin? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
I don't know how familiar I am with this. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
But if we're talking about Berlin, for some reason | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
I'm...drawn | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
to Christopher Isherwood. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
So, I'm going with Christopher Isherwood. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
You were drawn in the right direction. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
Well done, it's Christopher Isherwood. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Over to you, Chris. The saintly Helen Burns | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
is a character in which 19th century novel? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
Well, she's not a Dickens character, so it's not Copperfield. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
I don't think it's Jane Eyre, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
that's Mr Rochester and a few other characters. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
I think she's one of the cast of Middlemarch. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Barry, you know the answer to this. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-She's in Jane Eyre. -She is, and where does she fit in? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
I thought she was one of the people in the school where Jane Eyre lived. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
-One of the other orphans at the school. -Jane Eyre, Chris. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
OK, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
if you get this right, Ellen, you've taken the round. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
Which romantic poet on writing about the French Revolution, | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
declared, "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
"but to be young was very heaven"? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
I... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
I just feel that it sounds like something | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
that either Coleridge or Blake would say, not Wordsworth. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
My first thought was Blake, so I'm going to go with my first feeling | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
and I'm going to say Blake. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-It wasn't Blake actually, it was Wordsworth. -Oh, it was Wordsworth. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
Wordsworth wrote, "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive..." | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
of the French Revolution. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Chris, you have a chance to come back now. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Which artist made the 30 feet high | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
steel and bronze spider called Maman, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
the first of the works commissioned for | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
If you get this wrong you're not in the final. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Well, Maman is French for mother, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
but proves nothing. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Tate Modern is British, so is Antony Gormley. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
So, would they have commissioned Antony Gormley for the Tate Modern? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
It's the sort of thing he does, large steel erections. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
I'll say Antony Gormley. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
OK, I think your colleagues know. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
It's not Antony Gormley. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
It's Louise Bourgeois. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
Louise Bourgeois it was, Chris. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
You have not triumphed, you've been beaten. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Bourgeois conspiracy, n'est-ce pas? -Yes, indeed, possibly so. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
As a result of that conspiracy you're not in the final. Ellen, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
you are. Well done, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |
you'll be helping your team in the final round. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Congratulations. Please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-Well done, Ellen. Great work. -Thank you. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
The Tranceformers have lost no brains from the final round. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain. The next subject is Sport. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
-It's Costa. -Costa on Sport. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Anyone but Chris. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
Who's the weakest on Sport? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
I'd like to take on CJ, please. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
OK, it's Costa from the Tranceformers against CJ. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-A lot of sporting rounds for you at the moment. -Oh, joy! | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
CJ, to ensure there's no conferring, please leave the studio. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
Costa, you've set up some of the hypnotherapy associations, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
is that right? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
I'm one of the original founder members | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
of the Hypnotherapy Association. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
And are there right ways and wrong ways to hypno-therapise somebody? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
Definitely. Yeah, absolutely. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
You have to use positive language all the time. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
The use of your voice can be quite constructive to inducing trance. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
You have to be sympathetic towards your client. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
There's a lot of professional qualifications to be obtained | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
in order to be a fully qualified practitioner of hypnotherapy. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Because you're dealing with the subconscious mind, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
so you need to know what you're doing. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
If CJ gets the first two questions right, you can send him under. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-OK... That's not exactly what we do, but I'll do my best. -Permanently? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
Not permanently, no, Daphne. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-Costa, you can choose first or second. -I'd like to go second. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
There we are, he's already unsettling you, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
CJ, going second. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Here's your question. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Carlos Tevez and Edwin van der Sar | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
played for which Premiership football club | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
during the 2008 - 2009 season, CJ? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
I think, and you know me and football, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
but I think they're both from Manchester United. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
They are indeed, Man U. Correct. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Your first question, Costa. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
In what position did the former England rugby union international, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
Matt Dawson play throughout his career? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
OK, rugby is not my subject. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
I'm going to take a guess. I've got a feeling that Matt was a scrum half. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
Scrum half is... | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-correct. -Thank you. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
One each. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
CJ, the boxers Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Steve Collins | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
have all been World Champions in which weight division? | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
That's interesting. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
I know who all three of them are, which is... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
surprising for me, with boxers. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
But I don't think they're as big as heavyweight. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
Nigel Benn's the one that's confusing me, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
because he was very muscular. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
I don't think they're as big as heavyweight, | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
so I'll go for middleweight. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
OK, let's throw that to the Eggheads. Were they middleweights? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
-Yes. -Yes. Middleweight is right, CJ. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Back to you, Costa. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
-He's not making it easy, is he? -No. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-They never do, these Eggheads. -I wish I had his questions. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
It can turn. In February 2009, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
a Test match between England and the West Indies | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
was called off after a stadium, on which island, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
was deemed unfit for use? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
I don't think it was Tobago. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
I don't know if it was the stadium that was unfit or whether | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
there were weather conditions, so... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
I'm going to go for Antigua. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-That's the correct answer. -Thank you. -Antigua is correct. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
CJ, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
which British athletics record, previously held by Kathy Cook | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
for almost 27 years, was finally broken by Montell Douglas in 2008? | 0:11:57 | 0:12:03 | |
My profuse apologies, but I've never heard of Montell Douglas. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Kathy Cook didn't run the 100, I don't think. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Because we've had more runners in the 400 and 200, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
let's assume the record would have lasted longer in that, 200 metres. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
200 metres is wrong, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-it's 100 metres. -Is it? Oh well. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-She held it for 27 years. -Yeah. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
That's a break for you, Costa. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
I'll do my best. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Here's your question. Chrissie Wellington | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
won a second consecutive world championship in which sport in 2008? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
I've not heard of Chrissie Wellington. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
I offer my apologies for that. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
I'm going to go for triathlon. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
We like the apology for not knowing something. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-I don't think we have ever had that before. -Well, CJ started it. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
A public apology for not knowing. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
But triathlon is correct. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
You've got it. So, well done, Costa. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
You took on an Egghead, CJ, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
you gave him a battering | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
and he retires bruised. He won't be in the final, you will. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Please both of you come back to the studio. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
The Tranceformers are doing really well. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
You haven't lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost two. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
The next subject is Music. Which Tranceformer would like this? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-Helen's good at it. -Oh, I don't know really. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-Go on, I'll go for it. -You sure? -Yeah, OK, I'll go for it. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Ken, you've got a sort of sense of assurance, your team. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-Yeah, I know! -You really do. -Definitely me. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Ken, against which Egghead? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
-I'm going to go for Kevin. -OK, Ken from the Tranceformers, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
Kevin from the Eggheads, will face each other in the head-to-head. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Go to the question rooms now. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Ken, you are playing against one of the greatest quizzers. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
Kevin, British Quiz Champion eight times. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Euro Quiz Champion, four times. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
World Quiz Champion three times. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
We're just thinking, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
the first two Eggheads lost, is there something going on here? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
Have they fallen into a trance? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
And if Kevin loses this round, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
we are going to be suspicious | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
on what you're up to. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Three questions on Music in turn and, Ken, you can choose the first | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
-or second set. -I'll go first. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Here we go. Good luck. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
"She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
"She studied sculpture at St Martin's College", | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
are the opening lines to which 1990s song? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
I'm going to have to let my intuition go on this one, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
which may or may not be a good thing. We're going to find out. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
I've got Song 2 calling out to me, so... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
I'm going to go for Song 2. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
Okey dokey. Um, Costa knows, don't you? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
It's Pulp with Common People. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
That's it. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Common People is the answer. Song 2 is not the answer, sorry. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
Over to you, Kevin. Now we're going to see if you are in a trance. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
Which music manager is credited | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
with putting together the boy band Westlife? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
It's not Sharon Osbourne. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
I think Westlife was Louis Walsh. So, Louis Walsh. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
Is the correct answer. Well done. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Over to you, Ken. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Which country singer featured on the UK number two hit single | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
for the KLF, Justified And Ancient? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
I can't hear Dolly Parton doing that. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Tammy Wynette doesn't sound right to me, either. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
I'm getting Linda Ronstadt, so I'm going to go with that. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
Linda Ronstadt, anyone? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-It's Tammy Wynette. -Tammy Wynette. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Sorry, you're wrong, Ken. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Tammy Wynette was the answer. Kevin, if you get this, you take the round. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:20 | |
Which stage musical features the character Bill Snibson | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
singing the song Leaning On A Lamp Post? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
He's a Cockney lad, a Cockney character, | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
and since the other two are set in America, it's Me And My Girl. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
Me And My Girl is the right answer. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
Daphne, you have known that straightaway. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
-Oh, yes. -And great songs in that. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
-Sun Has Got His Hat On. -Lambeth Walk. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
Lambeth Walk as well. That's right. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Kevin, you've taken the round. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Whatever trance had fallen on CJ and Chris has been broken. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
Ken, you won't be joining your team to help them in the final round. Kevin will instead. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
Please, both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Tranceformers, they're pulling back. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
You've got to stop it happening. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
They have now lost two. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
You have lost one. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
We have one more round before the final round, and it's Politics. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
Which one of you would like Politics? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-Do you want me to do it? -Go for it. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah, you go for it. -Helen against who? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
Shall we go for Daphne? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Your choice. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
She doesn't get picked very often because she knows everything. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Yeah, I'll go up against Daphne. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
Helen from the Tranceformers, versus Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
As well as being a hypnotherapist, Helen, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
you climb mountains for charity? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Yes, I have done that twice. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-Which were they? -I climbed the highest | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
mountain in North Africa, which is Mount Toubkal in the High Atlas. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
And I did the Inca Trail through the Andes to Machu Picchu. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
-You saw a wonderful thing. -Absolutely, yes. It was amazing. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
OK, Daphne and Helen, here we go. Three questions on politics in turn. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
Helen, you can choose the first or second set. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
I'll go first. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Your question is, in a US presidential election year, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
what name is given to the Tuesday when a large number | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
of states hold their primaries? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Well, I don't know the answer, so... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
The one that | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
sounds the most sensible of all of those would be Super Tuesday. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
I don't think it would be Fantastic Tuesday. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
So, I think I'm going to settle on Super Tuesday. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
Super Tuesday is the right answer. Well done. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Daphne, which political figure was fined £60 when he forgot to pay | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
the London congestion charge just before Christmas 2008? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
I haven't heard this. Um... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
David Cameron? I don't know. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
David Cameron would have been on his bicycle, I would have thought. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
No, it's the mayor of London. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Boris forgot, and if you forget, you get done. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
OK, Helen, your question. Which former party leader | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
was ridiculed for sporting a baseball cap | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
on a visit to a theme park in 1997? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Again, I have no idea. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
I was going to say I couldn't imagine William Hague | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
wearing a baseball cap, but then again, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
maybe I could. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Charles Kennedy... | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
I'm trying to imagine them all wearing baseball caps. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
Actually, because the one that seemed the most unlikely to start with | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
was William Hague, I'm going to go for William Hague. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
William Hague is the right answer. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
He'd just become Conservative leader. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
Daphne, which Labour Lord was arrested twice over his role | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
in the "cash for honours" scandal, in which Tony Blair became the | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
first serving prime minister to be questioned by police | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
in the course of an investigation? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
That was Lord Levy. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
It was indeed Lord Levy. Well done. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
You have a point. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
But that means, Helen, you can win the round | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
if you get this question correct, because there's | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
no way back for Daphne if you do. Here's your question, Helen. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
About which Labour politician was Churchill speaking when he quipped, | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
"There but for the grace of God goes God?" | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Again, this is going to be a complete guess. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
It's not a... | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
period of history that I know a huge amount about. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:13 | |
I'm going to guess at Stafford Cripps. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Daphne, you threw your hands up. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
She's right. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
She is right, well done. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Stafford Cripps was the right answer, Helen. Well done. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
Daphne, no way back for you. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
There's no point in me asking you your third question. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
But you will remember the congestion charge wasn't paid by...? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-Boris. How could he forget? -How could he forget? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
So you won't be in the final and Helen will. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Please, both of you, come back to us here in the studio. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Better than expected? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
-Greatly relieved, yeah. -Now, this is the crucial bit. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, the final round. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
As always, it's General Knowledge. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
to take part in this round. So that is Ken from the Tranceformers, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
but it's also CJ, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
Please leave the studio. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Josephine, Costa, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
Helen and Ellen, you are playing to win the Tranceformers £12,000. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
Kevin and Barry you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
This time it's all general knowledge. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
You are allowed to confer with each other as well. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Tranceformers, the question is, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-I guess they should be. -We hope so. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Would you like the first or second set of questions? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
I prefer a second, myself. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
-First. -OK. -First. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
Here we go. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
First question. All the best. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
What name is given to a suit in a card game that outranks | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
all other suits for the duration of a hand? | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
Trumps. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:09 | |
Trumps is the right answer. Well done. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Over to you, Eggheads, both of you. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
Which British actress won two Golden Globe awards in January 2009? | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
The one with the embarrassing speech. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Or perceived as the embarrassing speech. Kate Winslet. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Kate Winslet, as Kevin so aptly puts it, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
the one with the embarrassing speech. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Kate Winslet is the right answer. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Your question, who hosted the Radio 2 Breakfast Show | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
between 1986 and 1991? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Jamieson used to host the show, I remember, with his wife. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
I don't think it's Kenny Everett, because wasn't he dead by then? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
My first instinct was Gloria Hunniford. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
If the two of you think it's Gloria Hunniford, then go with that. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
Hopefully, Gloria Hunniford. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
I ought to know this, it is the same building I work in. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
I think it was when Wogan was on TV...and it wasn't Gloria. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
Ellen, you were right with your Derek Jameson idea. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:28 | |
He was the Breakfast Show presenter, Derek Jameson. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Eggheads, this for the advantage. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
In the UK, what is the name given to the annual tour of universities and | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
colleges made by recruiting staff from large companies? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:42 | |
I remember it vaguely. It was the Milk Round. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
Milk Round. I wonder if it's going on this year? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
Milk Round is the right answer. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
They have the edge on you now and you must get this question right. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
Otherwise they've won, and we must stop that. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
What is the Euro's highest denomination note? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
I've got a feeling it's 500. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
If you've got that feeling, go with | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
your gut feeling, but I would have gone for 50. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
No, it's definitely more than 50. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
Not 50. It's definitely not 50. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
I've had a 100 Euro note before now. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Have you? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
Shall we go for 500, then? | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
It seems to be the consensus. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
In for a penny, in for a pound...or Euro, anyway. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
We're going to guess at 500. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
It's a good guess, you're right. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
Eggheads, if you get this right you have won the contest. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
And the money is snatched away. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Can you feel the trance descending? Look into my eyes. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
That's our normal state. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Anthony Julius, born in 1956, is a leading figure in which field? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:12 | |
I've got no idea. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Well, I'd say that, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
I think...is he a lawyer? | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Law was my first guess. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-I thought he was a QC on high-profile cases. -I don't think it's fashion. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
I don't think it's medicine. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
I thought law when the choices came out and you did, so... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
We've been wrong before. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
Yeah, we have. That's our problem when it's the two of us. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
You're seeing their names QC after that... | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
We're both agreed. We're not 100% certain, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
but we're both reasonably certain that he's involved with the law. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
We think he may be a QC. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
The law, and if you get this right you've won the contest. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
And then there wouldn't be any prize for you, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
and you've been such a great team. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
The answer is the law. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
Anthony Julius actually represented Diana, Princess of Wales. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
I thought you were going to say he's represented you. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
Represented Diana, the Princess of Wales in her divorce. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
-That's certainly high profile. -So, a barrister. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
As soon as the choices came up, it rang a bell. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
Although you could think surgeon, could you? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
You could. You can't tell anything from the name as such. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
But we could both visualise QC after the name when it came up. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:51 | |
-You have lots of bells, don't you, and they ring. -Millions of them. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
Break you out of your trance. Commiserations to you, Challengers. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Their winning streak continues. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
The Tranceformers won't be going home with the £12,000. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
It stays here and rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
Eggheads, very well done to you. Join us next time to see if a new | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
£13,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
