0:00:04 > 0:00:08DERMOT: These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30take on possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our quiz champions today are Us 4 Plus 1 from Coventry.
0:00:41 > 0:00:48Four of the team are regular quizzers who ply their trade at the Green Club in Eastern Green.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49However, on this occasion,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54team captain Dave has recruited his rail-enthusiast friend Nigel
0:00:54 > 0:00:59to not only complete the quintet but also to distract Chris.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Let's meet them.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hello. I'm Dave.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm 55 and I'm a financial advisor.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm David.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm 57 and I'm an engineer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Nigel.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm 49 and I'm a retired musician.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi. I'm Dave. I'm 50 and I'm an area manager.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hello. I'm Mike. I'm 54 and I'm a part-time security officer.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Welcome to you, Us 4 Plus 1.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27But let's get this out of the way once and for all.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So you are rail enthusiasts. You, Dave C and Nigel.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34That's right, Dermot. I met Nigel about eight years ago,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37in a pub in Coventry.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And we found out that we had railways in common,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42steam trains particularly,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46which was a hobby that people used to do in the '50s and '60s,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48called trainspotting then.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Are you allowed to say that word? Cos he always tells me off.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- It's not a word we use now. - It's slightly derogatory.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58You call someone obsessive a trainspotter.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02It's an introduction to the hobby of rail enthusiasm.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And it's when you're young and don't have a camera,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the object is to see all the different engines.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13So you just have paper and pencil and write down the numbers until you've seen them all.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17And then gradually you progress to become a rail enthusiast.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Right, Chris? - That's exactly it, Nigel.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So. Let's move on from trains, then, because that's you two.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28And the quizzing side. What's your tactics for today?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Well, we're gonna take out the main players.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Which includes Kevin.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- OK. Target Ashman. - Yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK. Here we go.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Every day £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47If they don't win, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So Us 4 Plus 1, the Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And our first head-to-head is Film & Television.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Who wants to play this?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'd have a go at film, be nervous about TV.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- So you're OK with films? - Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We're looking at Dave B here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10You said you'd take out the top players. Who do you want to play? They're all good.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Kevin.- Live dangerously.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Let's have Dave B and Kevin into the Question Room,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18so you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Dave, would you like to go first or second in this?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'll go first, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK, Dave.
0:03:28 > 0:03:35Which character was found nearly dead in his armchair in the first episode of EastEnders in 1985?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I've actually watched EastEnders,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and it probably was about 15 to 20 years ago.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I don't think it was Ali,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48cos he was in it for quite a while afterwards.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I actually believe it's Reg Cox.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56It is Reg Cox! Well worked out, Dave. Got that very assuredly.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58So, Kevin, your first question.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04"How very dare you" is a catchphrase used by a character created by which comedy performer?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm not too sure because I don't really watch any of them very much.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Doesn't sound like Caroline Aherne.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Catherine Tate's got many characters of course.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27It sounds more like Victoria Wood to me, but since I don't really watch any of them, I don't know it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So I'm going to go for Victoria Wood. I'll have to.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK. Who says it, Eggheads?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Catherine Tate. - Catherine Tate.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Caught out by a television question.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41So, Us 4 Plus 1, if Dave gets the next two right, he's through.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Dave, which 2001 movie, starring Robert De Niro and Ed Norton,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50was the last completed film of Marlon Brando's career?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54HE EXHALES
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I believe I've seen this. Um...
0:04:56 > 0:05:01For some reason, Heist is coming to mind.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So I would go with Heist.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05No, it's not!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's The Score.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Oh!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11OK. Kevin.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17Which Oscar-nominated actress has been married to Christopher Lambert and Josh Brolin?
0:05:20 > 0:05:25I think if it was... For some reason I don't think it's Laura Linney.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And I think if it was Julianne Moore...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33..I'd be aware of it more.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I mean... Hmm.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm gonna have to go for Diane Lane.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38- Diane Lane.- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42And that's the correct answer.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Dave, chance for the lead for you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Who won an Oscar for her role in the 1960 film Butterfield 8?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Right. I actually believe it was an Elizabeth Taylor film.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Elizabeth Taylor was actually in it.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I would go for Elizabeth Taylor.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You were sure about that from the start.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's the right answer. Well done, Dave. Two to you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11In the lead. Gotta get this, Kevin.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Gil Favor, played by Eric Fleming,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17was a central character in which American TV series?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Gil Favor, played by Eric Fleming.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Yeah. It's vintage Western series Rawhide.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29He was the trail boss in that.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Gil Favor is in Rawhide. It's right, Kevin.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33So we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37And that means, Dave, we remove those choices, as you know.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44Dave, in which 2008 film did Aaron Eckhart play the role of Harvey Dent?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I'm not so good on recent films, so I need to think about this.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54No, I am really struggling with this one.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Um, it would have to be... It is an absolute guess.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm not sure it's 2008. Would be the latest Batman film.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Batman Returns.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Is that your answer? - It is.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09It is the latest Batman film, which is not Batman Returns.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- It is called...The Dark Knight. - Bad luck, Dave.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Kevin has a chance to win despite his first question.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Kevin, Charles Bronson starred as Paul Kersey
0:07:19 > 0:07:23in which series of films directed by Michael Winner?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Very left-wing series of films. Death Wish.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Correct, Kevin. You're through to the final round.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34He clawed it back. Dave won't be playing in the final round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Please come back and join your teams.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Us 4 Plus 1 are down to...well, Us 4. Lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45So far the Eggheads are all still there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Our next subject is Music.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Now, I wonder who'd like to play this. Nigel?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- No? - Um, Cook is brilliant at music.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Really? Fancy it, Dave? - I think I'll go for it. Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Not Kevin. You wanted to knock him out. He's secure.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Barry. - OK. Right. You wanna play Barry?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Let's have Dave C and Barry into the Question Room.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Dave, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20OK, good luck, Dave. Here you go.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26Good Vibrations was a 1966 UK number one hit single for which band?
0:08:28 > 0:08:34Good Vibrations was a 1966 UK number one hit single for which band?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38It was The Beach Boys. I'm sure it is.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Good Vibrations? Good start.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41It's right. The Beach Boys.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Barry,
0:08:43 > 0:08:49which singer had UK hits with Get The Party Started and Family Portrait?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, dear.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I know the singers, I've just never heard of those tracks.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Well, I shall go for Kylie Minogue since she's been going the longest,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03so she might have done the two.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Whiff of grasping at straws there. - Just a little.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And not correct. Following Kevin.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's Pink.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Pink - Get the Party Started and Family Portrait.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Dave, the vocalist Bernard Sumner and bass player Peter Hook
0:09:19 > 0:09:21were in the original line-up of which group?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Well, I don't think it'd be Human League.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30They're a Sheffield group.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Either Talking Heads or New Order.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36New Order - I don't remember those names being in the group.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So going by that, I will go for Talking Heads.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42So that's my answer. Talking Heads.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- No, it's not.- Oh.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46New Order.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47There we go. OK, Barry.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Which soprano sang Handel's Let the Bright Seraphim
0:09:51 > 0:09:55at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58reaching a worldwide audience of 600 million.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It's a little bit too early, I think, for Lesley Garrett.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Although I'm certain Montserrat Caballe was around then,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I remember Kiri Te Kanawa singing at Prince Charles's wedding.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15So that's my answer.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17That's right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21OK. Well, it's all square again after two questions.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27Dave, what's the title of Gilbert and Sullivan's very first collaboration,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30also known as The Gods Grown Old?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37The Gods Grown Old.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Bacchanalia doesn't sound like that to me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43So I'm gonna rule that one out.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46But Thespis rings a bell. I could be wrong.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So I'm gonna go for Thespis.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Thespis?- Indeed.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, it's not just pop. You're right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Well done, Dave.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Barry.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Christopher Wallace was the real name of which hip-hop star?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Oh, my favourite idiom. Not!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I'm pretty certain it's either Notorious B.I.G. or Tupac Shakur.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19And I'm going to go for Notorious B.I.G.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Barry, it's the right answer. Notorious B.I.G.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25OK, well, we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Dave.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Isaac Hayes won an Oscar for his theme tune to which 1971 film?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Well, the song was called Shaft so the film would be Shaft.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I would say, yeah, Shaft.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Yeah. It's right. It's Shaft.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Barry, which American singer who had a UK top 10 single in 1990 with From a Distance,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52is known as the Divine Miss M?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Oh, that's the wonderful Bette Midler.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58That's right. Yes. Well done. Here we go.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Another question, Dave.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04The album Ummagumma, featuring live versions of the tracks
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and Careful With That Axe, Eugene,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12is a 1969 release by which rock group?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's from a group which was formed in 1965
0:12:16 > 0:12:20with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Pink Floyd.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Pink Floyd is correct. Ummagumma.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27OK, Barry.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Under what name did electro pop star Gary Numan and his group
0:12:30 > 0:12:35release their 1979 chart-topping single Are Friends Electric?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye
0:12:37 > 0:12:41because I truly haven't any idea whatsoever.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- So I'll pass. - Not even a guess?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Not even a guess on that. - Gary Numan.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- No.- OK.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'll give the honours to Dave. If he knows, doesn't matter.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Tubeway Army. - Tubeway Army is double correct.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55So you win by two points.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Oh, deary me. What a bad miss.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Bad luck, Barry. But very good for Dave.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Dave, you're playing in the final round for £7,000.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Well done, Dave. - No place for Barry.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Please come back and join your teams.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12That makes it all square.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Both teams lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Third head-to-head is History. Who'd like to play this?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22The remaining players are David, Michael, Nigel.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Geography's my subject, but...I'll go for history.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28OK. Chris, Daphne or CJ?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Who else? Chris. Absolutely. - OK, Nigel. Let's do it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I don't want you two discussing coal-shovelling technique.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Let's have you both into the Question Room please.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Nigel, it should be said, of course,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45we're in the presence of pop royalty, with you there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- I wouldn't say royalty. - Oh, come on!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Lieutenant Pigeon?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Yeah. For my sins. Yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55We had a question not long ago about your biggest hit, Mouldy Old Dough.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Yes, and I understand Chris did sing the line to it,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01which I'm proud of him for that.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06For old times' sake, get Chris to sing along with you two. Let's have a blast.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08One, two, three.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11BOTH: (GROWL) # Mouldy old dough. #
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Ooh, it hurts these days!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Oh, great stuff.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21All right, well, two rail enthusiasts in there.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Let's see who wins out in the battle of History.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Would you like to go first or second, Nigel?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Uh, can I go second?
0:14:32 > 0:14:39Chris, what did the abolitionist movement of the 18th and 19th centuries seek to make illegal?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46There was an abolitionist movement for capital punishment,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48but that was more 20th century.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52But the main philanthropic abolitionist movement
0:14:52 > 0:14:57in the 18th and 19th century was to abolish slavery.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Slavery - it's the right answer. Good start, Chris.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Nigel, here's your first question.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08James II, King of England from 1685 to 1688,
0:15:08 > 0:15:13also known as James VII of Scotland, belonged to which royal house?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's certainly not Hanover. Um... I...
0:15:20 > 0:15:24The Tudors and then... I'm gonna go for Stuart.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Stuart? Yeah, that's the right answer.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well worked out. So solid start from you both.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37Chris, which British prime minister was in office at the start of the American Revolution
0:15:37 > 0:15:39and resigned in 1782?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I think Henry Pelham and George Grenville were later.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I think he was one of the aristocratic cronies of George III,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54so it was Lord North.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Lord North...is the right answer, Chris. Well done.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Nigel, here's your next question.
0:16:00 > 0:16:08Which early military vehicle was nicknamed the devil's chariot by German soldiers during WWI?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Right. Zeppelin was an airship.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Sopwith Camel was one of those funny little biplanes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But I'm gonna go for tank.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Tank...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25..is the right answer - yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, it's all square, then.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Chris, the bizarre Zimmermann Telegram of 1917
0:16:31 > 0:16:36was designed to provoke the invasion of the US by which country?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It's not a very well-known fact, but until 1917,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47the majority of the US army was on the border with Mexico.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52And the Zimmermann Telegram was sent by the Wilhelmstrasse to Mexico
0:16:52 > 0:16:55to stir them up to invade the US, so it's Mexico.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Right. Thanks for the explanation.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It's the right answer. Mexico. It's bizarre.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It means you've got to get this, then, Nigel.
0:17:03 > 0:17:10At which battle was Charles d'Albret, twice the Constable of France, killed?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Oh, dear. I knew it was going too well.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22I'm familiar with all three, but not with the guy who copped it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I'm going to take a chance and go for La Rochelle.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK. Is it La Rochelle, Eggheads?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- No, it's Agincourt.- Agincourt.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Oh! I nearly went for that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39You're hesitating. Went for La Rochelle instead.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44And it means you're in the final round, Chris. No place for you, I'm sorry to say, Nigel.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Please come back and join your teams.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Us 4 Plus 1 are now missing two brains. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56And we go into our last head-to-head. It's Arts & Books now.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58And David or Mike remain to play it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Arts & Books.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Mike, what do you think? - Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Happy to do it? - I'm happier with that than history.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You think it's gonna be Mike?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Remember, consider who you're gonna play. Daphne or CJ.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12CJ.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Let's have Mike and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Do you want to go first or second, Mike?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'll go second, please.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24CJ kicking off, then.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29CJ, "curiouser and curiouser" is a phrase in a novel by which author?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I hope that's in one of the Alice books by Lewis Carroll.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40That's correct. "Curiouser and curiouser."
0:18:40 > 0:18:43OK, Mike, first question.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Which Renaissance painter had the surname Sanzio?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I don't think it's da Vinci.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59I've never heard Sanzio mentioned in connection with his name.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04So I think I'm gonna probably go for either Donatello or Raphael.
0:19:04 > 0:19:0650/50.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I think I'll go for Donatello.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11It's not. It's Raphael.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13You're right about da Vinci.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Your 50/50 narrowed it down, wasn't enough.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Your second question, CJ.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The artist Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton
0:19:21 > 0:19:28are characters in which novel, first published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I don't know the characters, but 1890...
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Dickens was dead by then, and The Pickwick Papers is one of his earlier novels.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Mansfield Park is Jane Austen. She died in 1817.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So it has to be The Picture of Dorian Gray by, um...
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Oh, um...Oscar Wilde! That chap. Oscar Wilde.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Had to be, according to that logic, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That's right. Well worked out, CJ.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You've got to get this, then, Mike.
0:20:01 > 0:20:08Which Evelyn Waugh novel takes its title from a line in TS Eliot's 1922 poem The Waste Land?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm really pleased to see this, because I think I know the answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I'm a fan of TS Eliot
0:20:19 > 0:20:23so I think I'm gonna go for A Handful of Dust on this one.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27OK. A Handful of Dust from The Waste Land by TS Eliot.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's the right answer, yes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31So you're back in it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36CJ, which artist's stainless steel balloon flower magenta sculpture,
0:20:36 > 0:20:41which resembles a modelling balloon twisted into the shape of a flower,
0:20:41 > 0:20:47was sold for a record £12.9 million at Christie's in London in 2008?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Hirst did have a big sale in 2008,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57but I don't recognise that piece as one of his.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01And I don't recognise it as one of Koons's either.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05And I'm not sure Koons has had a big sale...very recently.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Um, if it was Hirst or Koons
0:21:08 > 0:21:09I'd be much more aware of it,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13so I'm gonna go for Paul McCarthy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15OK. Another form of logic.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's Koons.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Jeff Koons. So that's the let-off you were hoping for, Mike.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Keeps you in the game if you give me a correct answer here.
0:21:25 > 0:21:31In 2008, which book, featuring an 800-word Harry Potter prequel by JK Rowling,
0:21:31 > 0:21:36became the UK's fastest selling collection of short stories?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44This is bad news for me, cos I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So, uh... Just gonna have to...
0:21:47 > 0:21:51..have an inspired guess on this one, I think.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Storyville is the one that springs to mind.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I could be wrong, but I'm gonna go for Storyville.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02It's incorrect. It's What's Your Story?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06And the story of that round is told there by the scores.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11In spite of getting one wrong, CJ's through to the final round.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Please come back and join your teams.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It's time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Those who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So, Nigel, Dave and Mike from Us 4 Plus 1,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and Barry from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37So, Dave and David, you're playing to win Us 4 Plus 1 £7,000.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50They're all general knowledge, and you're allowed to confer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56Us 4 Plus 1, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Would you like to go first or second? - We're gonna go first.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06So kicking off. Us 4 Plus 1, best of luck. Can you win the money?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10What is the only member of the proboscidean -
0:23:10 > 0:23:14P-R-O-B-O-S-C-I-D-E-A-N -
0:23:14 > 0:23:18proboscidean order of creatures that is still alive today?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26OK. What springs to mind straight away is...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29probos refers to nose.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Which means rhinoceros?
0:23:33 > 0:23:38I was thinking elephant because...
0:23:38 > 0:23:43your proboscis is a...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45..refers to your nose.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- And an elephant's got a long nose. That's what you're saying?- Yes.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52My gut feeling is elephant.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Shall we go for that?- Yes.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Dermot.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01We're going for, after deliberating, elephant is the answer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Dave. After looking at the answers, I can tell you...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07You're just very formal there.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- It's correct.- Thank you very much.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK. First question, Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Purple sprouting is a variety of which vegetable?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Purple sprouting is a variety
0:24:20 > 0:24:21of which vegetable?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23THEY MURMUR
0:24:23 > 0:24:26What are you asking Kevin on food and drink for?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Well, I'm not rushing in like we did last time.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32That would be broccoli.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It is broccoli. Purple sprouting broccoli.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37So, Us 4 Plus 1,
0:24:37 > 0:24:42in October 2008, Vladimir Putin released an instructional video
0:24:42 > 0:24:43on which subject?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52My best...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56My best guess on this would be...yoga.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Because if I was gonna watch one of those three,
0:25:03 > 0:25:04I think I'd choose yoga.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08It's the sort of thing that comes over very well on video.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- For instructions, yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Even Vladimir Putin.- Even him, yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- Yoga is our answer. - OK. Yoga. Putin, yoga.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Look at them!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's not yoga. No, it's incorrect.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm afraid your colleagues
0:25:27 > 0:25:29are all shaking their heads.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It is judo. Judo.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35So a chance for the lead for the Eggheads.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40According to a quote by the Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42history is a distillation of what?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48According to a quote by the Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51history is a distillation of what?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55First thing came to mind... When I saw it, rumour rang a bell.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58"Distillation of fact" is too commonplace.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03"Distillation of memory" is too... I'm sure I've heard this.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I think it's rumour.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09It is a distillation of rumour.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14And it would make it a better quotation. It's right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Yes, "history is a distillation of rumour."
0:26:17 > 0:26:21So it means you've got to get this, then, David and Dave.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26The Henri Delaunay Trophy is awarded to the winners of which football competition?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The Henri Delaunay Trophy.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Henri Delaunay is a French name.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So it wouldn't be the World Cup, would it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44No, we know that with the Jules Rimet.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49My guess would be the European Championship.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Because we don't know it. Well, not, as such, don't know it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- It's not in the Champions League and that's played every year.- It is.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You hear it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03We would say it's the European Championship.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06OK. European Championships. Henri Delaunay...
0:27:07 > 0:27:08..is the right answer!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yes, well worked out.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13OK, well, they got it, so kept their hopes alive.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Will they be dashed by this answer, though, from the Eggheads?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20You've got to hope they get it wrong.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22What is the official currency of the Seychelles?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I think it's rupee.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- I think it's rupee. - It's not franc.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I'm thinking if there's a Seychelles dollar.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36No.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39THEY MURMUR
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Most of those Indian Ocean countries have got rupees.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47That would be the Seychelles rupee.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49The official currency of the Seychelles...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51..is the rupee.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Well, bad luck, Us 4 Plus 1. Just that one in the middle.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05The Eggheads have capitalised and taken you out.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07But great to meet you today, Us 4 Plus 1,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11and the discussion about steam trains, Lieutenant Pigeon and the rest.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The Eggheads' winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23I'm afraid you won't be going home with £7,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Eggheads, who will beat you?
0:28:25 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
