These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
You might recognise them, as they are Goliaths in the world | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
And taking on the might of our | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
quiz goliaths today are The Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
The team all work at an IT company in Leeds. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
And if they aren't taking part | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
in their regular Quiz Fridays, then they'll be running | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
their very own version of The Apprentice | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
with team captain David as Sir Alan. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm David. I'm 45 and I'm a company director. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, my name's Emma. I'm 36, I'm a sales director. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Hello, I'm Jonathan. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
I'm 38 and a company director. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Hi, I'm Bruce. I'm 37 and I'm a sales account manager. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
Hi, I'm Rob. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm 28, I'm a sales account manager. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Welcome, Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
And, David, tell me about this, this Apprentice thing, then. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
How do you do that? You don't really fire people, do you? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
We thought about it but we've never actually fired anybody, no. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
We pretend to fire them. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
-We fire them from the competition. It runs for a month. -OK. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
And what do you get people to do? | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
All kinds of tasks, which we kind of... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Some of them are related to our business. And some of them are | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
just copies of the stuff from the TV show. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
So just for fun and some will benefit the business? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-Yes, bit of both. -OK. And tell me about Quiz Fridays, as well? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
We're in kind of a hard sales environment. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
So we try to have as much fun as we can. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So we play lots of kind of TV... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
versions of TV quiz shows. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
We've done Millionaire and that kind of thing. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
-You've done Eggheads, of course. -We haven't yet, we should. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Well, now you're doing it for real. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. However, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Other Side Of The Mountain, the Eggheads have won the last 14 games, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
which means £15,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
And our first head-to-head today is going to be on Arts and Books. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
Who'd like to play this one? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
It can be any one of you at this opening stage. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Definitely got to go with Bruce. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-Yeah, definitely. -It's not my strongest but I said I'd go for it | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-if it came up. -It's down to you, Bruce. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Was that the plan, Bruce, if Arts and Books came up? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
You know the categories, then. Who would you like to play? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
You have the advantage of being able to choose anyone. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Who do you think will be the weakest? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Or maybe you you want to play the strongest. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-They're all going to be pretty good, -I'm not that good, Dermot, no. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-I... Can I take CJ? Is that all right? -Absolutely. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Absolutely, yeah. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
-OK. -Gone for the strongest, then? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-Absolutely. -Really? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Oh, no. Big mistake. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
No, my nose is growing longer as I say that. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Let's have Bruce and CJ into the question room then, please. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
To make sure there's no conferring. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
OK, Bruce. Let's get on with it, shall we? Arts and Books. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
I'll go first, I think. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
This is your question then, Bruce. Rudolf Rassendyll | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
impersonates a European king | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
in the plot of which classic adventure story? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
OK, OK. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I'm not...sure. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
But I know it's not The Three Musketeers. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
Because I have seen that, you know, in film and things. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
And The 39 Steps is more of a spy thriller, if I'm right. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
So I'm going to go for Prisoner Of Zenda, Dermot. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
OK, Prisoner Of Zenda. Elimination strategy there | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
giving you the right answer. Good start, Bruce. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Prisoner Of Zenda. Rudolf Rassendyll. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
OK, CJ, first question. Which famous book is largely set in | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
and around the Yorkshire town of Whitby? Oh, Bruce would have liked this. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
Good Yorkshire man. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
That's Dracula, Dermot. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
It is Dracula. It's the right answer. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Set in and around... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Well, part of it's set in and around Whitby. So one each. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Bruce, which British artist is known for his spot paintings, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
which consist of grids of coloured circles on a plain background? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
You see, this is the Art section. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be 100% sure here, either. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
I know it's not Damien Hirst, though. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Grayson Perry I've not heard of. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Which means | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
I've got to go for Antony Gormley. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Antony Gormley. Didn't think it was Damien Hirst. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Hadn't heard of Grayson Perry. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
And there we are... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
with the wrong answer. Not Gormley. Do you know, CJ, of the other two? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-It is Damien Hirst. -It is Damien Hirst. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
So always barking up the wrong tree there, Bruce. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Spot paintings as well as pickled sharks and other things. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-Oh, really? Right. -So a chance for the lead for CJ. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
CJ, who wrote the novels Jewels, Secrets and Rogue? They're three. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
Who wrote the novels Jewels, Secrets and Rogue? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
I think that's Danielle Steel. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Jewels, Secrets and Rogue written by Danielle Steel | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
is the correct answer. Gives you the lead. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
OK, well, it means you've got to get this, Bruce. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
What was the title of the first novel by the Chinese American author | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
Amy Tan? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
OK. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
Wild Swans is really jumping out at me but I... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
I can't give you an explanation why. But I've seen it on a bookshelf. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
I suppose that's an explanation why and I'm going to go for Wild Swans. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
Wild Swans. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
OK, first novel by Amy Tan to keep you in it - keep your hopes alive. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
If not, CJ's through. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
It's not the Wild Swans. It's The Joy Luck Club. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Yeah, Amy Tan's first novel is The Joy Luck Club. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
So no luck for you there, Bruce. Which means there as you can see | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
from the scoreboard, CJ doesn't need to face another question. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
He's in the final round. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
You won't be playing for the 15,000 today, Bruce. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
As it stands now, Other Side Of The Mountain have lost | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
one brain from the final round. The Eggheads haven't lost any. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
We'll play our second head to head of the day. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
This one is going to be Politics. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Who'd like to play this one? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
It can't be you, Bruce. But any of the other four team members there. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-OK, I think I'll do it, Dermot. -You're going to do it, David. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
And which Egghead would you like to play apart from CJ? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Any of the other four. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
I think... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
I think Barry, please. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Barry. And this is where you really want to adopt the Sir Alan persona | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
and say "Barry, you're fired from the final round." | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-Let's see if you can do it. -It has been said before. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Let's have David and Barry into the question room, please. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
David, would you like to go first or second in this Politics round? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
I think I'll go first please, Dermot. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
OK, first it is. Good luck, David. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
What is the name of the post held by the person responsible | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
for overseeing each constituency's results at a general election? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
I'm fairly sure that that's the returning officer. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
The returning officer. It certainly is. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Reads out the results with the Monster Raving Looney Party | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
in the background making faces over their shoulder. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
OK, first blood to you, then. Barry, what name is given to the draft | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
of an act of Parliament as it passes through the legislative process? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
Given some of the recent acts that | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
have passed I think it should be called an invoice. But it's a bill. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-Controversial, Barry. -But accurate. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Ha! It is the right answer. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Bill is correct. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
OK, back to you, David. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
In 2008, Ed Davey and Nick Harvey | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
were appointed to the front benches of which UK political party? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
I've never heard of them. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
So on that basis I'd think they're more likely to be Liberal Democrats. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
Yeah, I'm going to say, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
because I've never heard of them, I'm going to say Liberal Democrat. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
They are of the Liberal Democrats. It's the right answer. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
So two to you. Barry, second question. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
In the 2000 US Presidential elections, who stood | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
on behalf of the Green Party and gained nearly three million votes? | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Well, Pat Buchanan is an extremely right-wing politician. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
Can't recall Warren Beatty standing but I do know that Ralph Nader tries | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
to stand almost in every election. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
And he is a Green. So I'll say Ralph Nader. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Ralph Nader. Three million votes in 2000. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Two-all in a very exciting Politics round. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
David's third question, which could win the round for him. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
Which term refers to a type of parliamentary constituency | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
prior to the 1832 Reform Act? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
Kettlebasher, potwalloper. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
I don't really know why it's calling out to me but | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
I think I'm going to say potwalloper. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Potwalloper calling out to you. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Maybe some residual memory from the school days. It's the right answer. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Potwalloper gives you the lead. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
And if Barry doesn't get his third one correct he'll be out. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
Barry, in September 2008 Quentin Bryce became the first | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
female governor general of which country? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Interesting female name that, Quentin. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
But I believe she was a governor general in Australia. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Australia, yeah. I was thinking that, Quentin. It is Australia. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
It's the right answer. OK, well, it's all square. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Very, very exciting second round here. David, it means | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
we go to Sudden Death. So, we're going to remove those choices now. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
Just got to hear an answer from you and this is your question. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
During the 1997 General Election, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
which candidate was known as the man in a white suit? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
It was the BBC guy... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
I, I can picture him, Dermot, but... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-I can't remember his name. I don't know. -Can't give me a guess, David? | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
This is the curse of Sudden Death, isn't it? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Without options here you're not able to conjure them up. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
No, it's gone. Sorry. Wasn't there in the first place. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
-Are you passing? -I'm passing. I don't know the answer. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Take a pass on that. Check with Barry. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
I believe he fought the Tatton seat. It was Martin Bell? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
Yup, Martin Bell took on... Eggheads? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-Neil Hamilton. -Neil Hamilton. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
OK, well, nothing there for David. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
But Barry still has to get this if he is to win the round. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Bashar al-Assad became the president | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
of which Middle Eastern country in 2000? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
He's the son of Hafez al-Assad and both were presidents of Syria. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
Syria is the right answer. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
Barry, you are through. Only just. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Bad luck, David. You won't be playing in the final round. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
So Other Side Of The Mountain have lost two brains. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
The Eggheads haven't lost any yet. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Our next subject today is Sport. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
And who'd like to play this? Emma, Jonathan or Rob. Sport. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
It has to be Rob's, doesn't it? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-Yeah, I think it's you. -Taking that one, yeah? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-OK. -OK, Rob. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
It can't be Barry or CJ. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
I'd like... I'd like to take on the delightful Judith Keppel, please. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-The delightful Judith Keppel. -I'm not. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Not when she plays Sport. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Now you've made her angry. All Hulk-like. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-Let's have Rob and Judith into the question room, please. -Beast! | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
Rob, it's Sport. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
I'll follow the pattern. I'll go first. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
OK, good luck. Which substance do players usually apply to the tip | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
of a snooker cue during matches to help it grip the cue ball? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Well, I've played a fair few games of snooker myself. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
I know that one's chalk. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Resin would be good, wouldn't it? Just stick them all on the end. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Couldn't go wrong. It's the right answer. Chalk, good start. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
Judith, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
the tennis player Andy Roddick | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
represents which country in the Davis Cup? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
The tennis player Andy Roddick | 0:13:13 | 0:13:14 | |
represents which country in the Davis Cup? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
I think he's American. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
I'm fairly sure he's American. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
So what then... He represents South Africa? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
No. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-USA. -USA. Are you sure? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-Well, as sure as I can be. -It is the right answer, yes. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Andy Roddick, USA, American. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
OK, Rob, second question. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
In May 2008 which former Scottish Rugby Union player was appointed | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
head coach for the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
I'm pretty sure I know this one. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
And I'm pretty certain he lives not far from me, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
assuming it's the right answer. I'm going to go with Ian McGeechan. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
Ian McGeechan is the right answer. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Ian McGeechan, yes. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Head coach for the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
So two to you. Judith, second question. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Phil Brown, born in 1959, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
was appointed manager of which football club in January 2007? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:19 | |
Well, that means he's 49 now, doesn't it? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Not that that's really relevant. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
But it's a good delaying tactic. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
I have an instinct it might be Hull City. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
So that's my answer. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-That's your answer? -Yes, yes. -Phil Brown. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
The mighty Hull is the right answer. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
Well, done, Judith. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Rob, at the 1980 Winter Olympics, Eric Heiden | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
won five gold medals in which sport? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
If I'm honest, winter sports isn't one of my strongest, strongest areas. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
For the reason only that it's one of the more popular sports | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
in the Winter Olympics, I'm going to say alpine skiing. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
OK. Bit of a blank area, winter sports for you. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Eric Heiden won five golds as a... | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
speed skater. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
OK, well, Eric Heiden was a speed skater. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-So a chance for Judith to win the round. -Wow. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Judith, in 1945 which golfer won a record 18 tournaments | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
including 11 in a row on the United States PGA Tour? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
I have vaguely heard of Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
But not the other one. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
I think it might be Ben Hogan. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
OK, Ben Hogan to clinch the round. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
It's bounced off the cup. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
It's not the right answer. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-It is, Eggheads? -Byron Nelson. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
-Byron Nelson. -Oh, no. Never heard of him. -Byron Nelson. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
Well, some comfort to you. Another being that you don't go out | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
because Rob also slipped up on his third question. So we go to Sudden Death. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
And, Rob, as you saw with David there, we remove the choices. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Gets an awful lot harder. This is your question. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
The stadium that opened in 1997 to be the primary venue for the US Open | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
is named after which tennis player? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
I'm assuming you're meaning tennis | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
by the US Open. And with that in mind, I think, | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
it's Arthur Ashe. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
Arthur Ashe is correct. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
The Arthur Ashe Stadium. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-Won the US Open in 1968. Also won Wimbledon, didn't he? -Yes. -'75. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
Arthur Ashe, legendary tennis player. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
So put you in the lead, Rob. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Judith, which swimmer regained his 50 metres freestyle British record | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
in 2008 at the age of 38? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
I don't know. I suppose that's in the Olympics. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
I, I've, I have absolutely no idea. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
Are you going to hazard a guess or pass? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I'll know it when you say it. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
-But I simply can't drag it up at the moment. -So it's a pass? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
-It is a pass. -Strictly Come Dancing? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
Oh, that Fos...! | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-What was he called? Tall one. -Yup. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-I can't remember his name even now! -You just said it, second name. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-Foster? -Yeah, Mark Foster. -Mark Foster. -Which means flying the flag | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
for Other Side Of The Mountain is our Rob there. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
You're going through to the final round, playing for £15,000. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
You've lost those two brains from the final round, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
the Eggheads have now lost their first one. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Our last head-to-head before the final round, chance to even it up, is going to be Film and Television. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
Who'd like to play this, Emma or Jonathan? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-I think you've got to take it, Emma. -Me? -Don't you think so? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-Emma's got to do it. -Fine. OK. Fine, I'll do it. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
OK, Emma. And who would you like to play from the Eggheads? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
Chris or Kevin remaining. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
We'll go for Kevin. Kevin, please. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
Go for Kevin. OK, let's have Emma and Kevin into the question room, please, to play Film and Television. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
Emma, do you want to go first, or do you want to let Kevin begin? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
First, to get out of the way. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Here you are. Who was the director of the Godfather trilogy? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
I should know this one, but... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
The name that's jumping out at me is Martin Scorsese. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
I'm just going to go for that one straightaway. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Don't think it's Spielberg and I've never heard of... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Bruce will kill me. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
But I'm going to go for Martin, Martin Scorsese. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Martin Scorsese, director of the Godfather trilogy. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
It's not Martin Scorsese and Bruce wasn't looking best pleased, | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
it must be said, as you were giving the answer. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
He does do a lot of gangster films, does Scorsese, of course. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
But Francis Ford Coppola is the... | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Yeah. It's a bit of a boy's question really, though, isn't it? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-Definitely. -I watched The Godfather Part II | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
just the other evening, as one does. Martin Scorsese incorrect. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
It is Francis Ford Copp-ola. Or Cop-pola. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
So first question to Kevin and a chance instantly for the lead. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Teddy and Looby Loo featured in a TV series with which character? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
Well, they may have visited the others from time to time. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
But most famously associated with Andy Pandy. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
It is Andy Pandy. It's the right answer. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
So a lead for Kevin. Right, let's get you off the mark, Emma. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Who played Lois Lane in the 2006 film Superman Returns? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
Er... | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
-Kate Bosworth. -Kate Bosworth. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-That's a complete guess. Sorry, Bruce. -Complete guess. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
OK, Kate Bosworth. Another film question. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
You the film buff, then, Bruce? If it had come up before Arts and Books | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-would you have played it? -I think so. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
You weren't to know if it's coming up at all. Is it the right answer? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yeah. -Yeah, it is! | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-Kate Bosworth, Lois Lane in Superman Returns. -I knew it, really. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Course you did. Now you regret saying it was a total guess. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
OK, it doesn't matter how you get them. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
Kevin, who plays the role of the police officer Jim Gordon | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
Michael Caine is Alfred the butler. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
But Jim Gordon who will one day become Commissioner Gordon | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
is Gary Oldman. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
The role of Jim Gordon in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
is taken by Gary Oldman. It's correct. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
So two to you. Means you must get this one right, Emma. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
Which former Hollyoaks actor plays the character Gaz | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
in the TV comedy Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
That's Will Mellor. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Will Mellor. Absolutely right. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
On very confident ground there. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
But because of that early slip-up, the first question, | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
there's an opportunity for Kevin to take the round. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
Kevin, what was David Lean's | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
first film for which he was credited as sole director? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
Ah, that's an interesting one. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
It's not Oliver Twist because that's the latest of the three. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
That was, that was '48. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Blithe Spirit was '45 and Lean directed that. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:37 | |
I'm going to say Blithe Spirit. It may be that he was credited | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
as sole director on This Happy Breed, which I think was a year earlier. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-But I'm going to go with Blithe Spirit, I think. -OK, Blithe Spirit. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
It's This Happy Breed. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
David Lean's sole director credit on This Happy Breed. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Happy Emma there. Live to fight on | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
in Sudden Death now. So very rarely you see that. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
Kevin very assured normally with his films. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Let's put your Sudden Death question to you, then, Emma. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
Which TV series first aired in 1997 | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
I think I know this but I cannot think what it is. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
Nothing is coming back to me at all. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
I'm sorry. I don't know. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-Pass. -Want to guess? Last minute guess? -I can't even think of | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
-anything to guess. It's all gone blank. -Gone blank. -So sorry. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-Do you know, Kevin, if you'd been put in first? -South Park. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
-South Park. It is South Park. Do you know it now, Emma? -Yup. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
-Does it ring a bell? -It does. -CJ would have... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
second only to The Simpsons for him, I guess. South Park. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Another chance for Kevin then to win the round. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Kevin, what is the name of the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
It's the Palme D'Or. Golden Palm. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
It is. And you get the Palme d'Or in this round. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
It means you've won the round, you're through to the final. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
No place for you, Emma, I'm sorry. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
So this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Time for the final round - General Knowledge. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
But those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
won't be allowed to take part. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
So David, Emma and Bruce from The Other Side Of The Mountain, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio now? | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
So Jonathan and Rob, you're playing to win The Other Side Of The Mountain £15,000. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
Chris, Barry, Kevin, CJ, you're playing for something | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
money can't buy... Oh, no - | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
The questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
You are allowed to confer. Other Side Of The Mountain, are your two brains | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
better than the Eggheads' four? And Jonathan and Rob, | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
would you like to go first or second? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
BOTH: We'll go first, please. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Let's see how you do. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
First question, General Knowledge. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
What name is given to the large round knob | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
at the end of a sword handle? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
What name is given to the large round knob at the end | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
of a sword handle? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
A hilt's always used as a word to denote the end of something. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
-Yeah. But pommel, as well, I've heard of. -I've heard the word. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Is that not something to do with a pommel horse, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
like a vaulting horse? Have I made that up? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
You might have just made that up. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
-I think it's hilt. -I think... | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
-The hilt of the sword. -Have a go. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
We're going with that, yeah? We're going to go with hilt. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
The large round knob at the end of a sword handle is a pommel. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
It's a pommel. So up to the hilt. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
-Is the hilt the cross bit? -The cross bit, yeah. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Then you've got the handle, then you've got the pommel. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
With the Cavalry Sabre, you hold it in your hand, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
smash down with the pommel. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:52 | |
-Use it as a cosh. -Yeah. -Well... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Not what they hoped for from Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Let's see how the Eggheads do. Eggheads. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Pentland, Javelin and Belle de Fontenay are varieties of which food stuff? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:05 | |
Pentland, Javelin, Belle de Fontenay | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
are varieties of which food stuff? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
-Yeah, they're potatoes, Dermot. -It's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:17 | |
Other Side Of The Mountain, important you get this. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Seals and sea lions | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
are contained within which biological grouping of animals? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Seals and sea lions are contained within which | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
biological grouping of animals? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
Lagomorphs, like, the word "morph" means to change, doesn't it? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
I don't know why, I just think it's pinnipeds. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
"Ped" is something to do with legs, though. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
-Unless pinnipeds means no legs. -Mmm. -What does...? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
What does the "pinni" bit mean? Obviously... | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
-You can discuss it... -I don't know. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
-Do we think it's pinnipeds? -Let's go for pinnipeds, | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
purely cos we think it means no legs. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
-Dermot, we'll go for pinnipeds. -OK, pinnipeds - | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
you think it means no legs. You don't know what it means, do you? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
-We're guessing. -Didn't fancy it, Rob, did you? -Not at first... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Jumped out at you. It's the right answer. Pinnipeds, correct. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Kept you in it, Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Very important question there. OK, Eggheads, second question to you. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
The Britannia Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
and opened in 1850, spans which body of water? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
The Britannia Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
and opened in 1850, spans which body of water? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
It's the Menai Strait, between Bangor and Llanfair PG. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
It is the Menai Strait. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
It's correct, Eggheads. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
No better man than Chris to answer it. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
OK, means you've got to get this, Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
In the plot of which opera is | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
the leading female character murdered by Jack The Ripper? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
In the plot of which opera is | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
the leading female character murdered by Jack The Ripper? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
No idea. Absolutely none. I've only heard of one of them. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Opera is not my strong point. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
I've heard of Faust. That's the only one I've heard of. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
I know Faust was something evil and demonic. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
I don't get that impression from what I've heard about it. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
It's the only one I've heard of. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
-It jumped out at me again. -It's probably wrong. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
-I don't know. Shall we go for it? -Yeah. You call it. -Erm... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
For no reason other than it's the only one we've heard of, | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
-we're going to go for Faust. -OK, Faust. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
The plot of the opera leading... in which the leading female character | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
is murdered by Jack The Ripper. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
The opera in question is Lulu. Lulu. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
Which means, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
Well, bad luck, | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
Other Side Of The Mountain. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
I think the tale of today's game has been those Sudden Death rounds | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
played by David and Emma. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
Looked like they had every chance of getting through - they just went blank at crucial moments. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:10 | |
Meant you were under strength there in the final round, and those questions just didn't suit you. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:16 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally - that winning streak continues. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
I'm afraid, you won't be going home with the £15,000. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
And so the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
Join us next time to see if the challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
£16,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
