0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35You might recognise them as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40And taking on our quiz champions today are The Midweek Marauders.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43They have a combination of players from teams
0:00:43 > 0:00:48that take part in the Pencoed Rugby Club quiz every Wednesday night. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Martyn.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm 45 and I'm a payment processing operator.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Phil. I'm 45 and I'm a company director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Nathan. I'm 20 and I'm a broadcast journalism student.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Derek. I'm 66 and I'm a retired industrial chemist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Paul.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'm 48, I'm a software engineer.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Midweek Marauders.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- This is after the Wednesday night quizzing, is it?- That's right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Martyn, I believe you're the quizmaster. Any tips?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20For yourself?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Yeah.- There's two rules to my quiz.
0:01:23 > 0:01:29The first rule is the question master is always right and the second rule is if in doubt, refer to rule one.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I agree with you on that.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Now, let's play the game. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42However if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Midweek Marauders, the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50which means around £10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Let's see how the categories fall for you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56The first one coming up is arts and books. Who'd like to play this?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It'd be me then, won't it?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Paul.- Yeah?- Paul.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06OK, Paul. And any Egghead you like, opening round.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Barry.- I don't mind. Barry's fine.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Barry, please.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Let's have Paul and Barry, into the question room, please,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Paul, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Good luck, Paul, here you go.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36The pilgrims in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are on their way to visit the shrine of which martyred saint?
0:02:40 > 0:02:46I believe that Thomas Becket was killed in Canterbury.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I'm not quite sure about William Tyndale.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53I think that was to do with religion as well.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I don't know nothing about St Alban.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01So on that basis, I think I'll go for Thomas Becket.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Thomas Becket in Canterbury Tales...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07is the right answer. Good start.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well done, Paul. Barry.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15Nancy and Peggy Blackett and John, Susan, Titty and Roger Walker
0:03:15 > 0:03:17are all characters in which children's book?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25The Blacketts and the Walkers were families in Swallows and Amazons.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33That's the right answer. Back to you, Paul, for a second question.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Boule de Suif is an 1880 work by which
0:03:36 > 0:03:41French writer, considered by many to be the father of the short story?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50This is one that I don't know.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I have heard of Honore de Balzac.
0:03:54 > 0:04:01I don't know anything about Guy de Maupassant or Emile Zola.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06So I think I will go for Honore de Balzac.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10No, it's not. Do you know, Barry, of the other two?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's Guy de Maupassant.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Something tells me that the story for Boule de Suif
0:04:14 > 0:04:15was made into a film.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19It may have been Stagecoach, but Kevin will be able to tell me.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21OK. Let's refer to Kevin. Boule de Suif?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26It is. The original story is set during the Franco-Prussian War.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30There's a coach of passengers making their way through the countryside
0:04:30 > 0:04:34and Boule de Suif is the nickname of a woman
0:04:34 > 0:04:36who's on the coach who's a prostitute.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- What does Boule de Suif translate as?- Ball of fat, she's a fair size.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Oh! OK.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45There we are. OK, Barry,
0:04:45 > 0:04:50your second question. Wyndham Lewis was a founder member of which artistic movement?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Kitchen Sink is normally associated with John Bratby.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00He certainly wasn't a Dadaist but Vorticism,
0:05:00 > 0:05:05which came in in the '20s, was associated with Wyndham Lewis.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09You're right.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13That's correct. So, two to you. You've got to get this then, Paul.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Jacob Wrestling With The Angel is the subtitle of which
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Paul Gauguin work, now in the National Gallery of Scotland?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Well, Faaturama doesn't tell me much...
0:05:35 > 0:05:40The Vision After The Sermon obviously has got a religious connotation,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45so on that basis, I'll go for the Vision After the Sermon.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Logical...and correct.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The Vision After The Sermon. Well done, Paul. A tricky one that.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Had to get it and did.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Barry. The Red Wheelbarrow, famous for its distinctive style,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01is a 1923 poem by which writer?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11It doesn't sound like Walt Whitman and 1923 would be too late for him.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm not sure it sounds like Ezra Pound as well,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18but William Carlos Williams certainly had a distinctive style
0:06:18 > 0:06:22so on stylistic basis alone, I will go for William Carlos Williams.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25William Carlos Williams is correct. But bad luck for you, Paul.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The second question just caught you out.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31No place in the final round.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40After the first exchanges, The Midweek Marauders are one brain down for the final round.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43The Eggheads are all there. Our next subject is science.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Who'd like to play this one?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- It's a no-brainer. - No-brainer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Derek will.- OK, Derek! - Derek, please.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Our chemist there. Who would you like to play?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It can't be Barry.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Can we have CJ, please?- Of course. That all right with you, CJ?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- It's one of my favourite subjects. - Yeah!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Let's have Derek and CJ into the question room.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So, Derek, how long did you work in the chemical industry for?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16All my life, basically. 40 years.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Let's hope we get some chemical-based questions for you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Do you want to start or not, Derek?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24I'll go first please.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Good luck.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Here is your first question.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Which insect is peculiar for the behaviour of the female
0:07:33 > 0:07:37in often eating the male during or after mating?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, I was hoping to see Black Widow come up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Obviously it's not a spider.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50But I've seen on various wildlife programmes
0:07:50 > 0:07:54the praying mantis eating its mate.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56OK, going for mantis?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Definitely.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It is the right answer. Well done. Good start, Derek.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09CJ, in zoology, how many toes does a hoof described as cloven have?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I think that's the hoof that has the split down the middle,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17so that would be two.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Cloven-hooved - have you checked your feet recently?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Er, no.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It is the right answer. Two toes.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Derek...
0:08:26 > 0:08:32The plantar fascia is a ligament in which part of the human body?
0:08:34 > 0:08:40P-L-A-N-T-A-R and fascia - F-A-S-C-I-A.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I don't actually know for sure,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46but thinking about the derivation, plantar is flat,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49fascia is face,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53and of those muscles, I'd say jaw.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55It's actually in the foot.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Plantar, I suppose there is...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Derek led astray there by fascia, thinking facial.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Man is a plantigrade animal because he walks upright on flat feet.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The fascia is on the instep, in the front of your foot.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Does that.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK, nothing there for Derek.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20And to rub it in, the next question is a chemical one. Will CJ get it?
0:09:20 > 0:09:26In chemistry, the mass number refers to the total number of what in an atom?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32In chemistry, the mass number
0:09:32 > 0:09:36refers to the total number of what in an atom?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I hope that's the electrons.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42No, it's not.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The nucleons is the right answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So it stays all square.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Derek.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Which type of radiation has the highest penetration levels?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Which type of radiation has the highest penetration levels?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Er...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I think on that...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's not Alpha.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I think it's...Gamma.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Gamma?- Gamma, yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's the right answer, well done, Derek.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20In the lead.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So, CJ has to get this.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Which star with the name from Latin for "ear of wheat"
0:10:26 > 0:10:29is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39This is the sort of thing I should know and I'm not sure about this.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I don't think it's Spica.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I know Antares
0:10:45 > 0:10:49is a very bright start...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I haven't heard of Acubens.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I think "ares" refers to ear
0:11:00 > 0:11:02and I think it's a bright star.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I hope it's in Virgo, so I'll go for Antares.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's Spica.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12So, Midweek Marauders come back.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14A victory for Derek. Well done, Derek.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19A tough round and you've won out. You're playing in the final round.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Please rejoin your teams.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's all square. Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We move onto our third head-to-head.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31This one is sport and I'm sure the Marauders will love this one.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Sport?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Martyn, Phil or Nathan remain to play.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41I'm going into bat for this one and I would like to offer Chris, please.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44He looks delighted(!)
0:11:44 > 0:11:46LAUGHTER
0:11:46 > 0:11:52OK! Let's have Martyn and international mastermind Chris into the question room, please.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56First set or second set for you, Martyn?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'd like to take the first set of questions, please.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Here you go.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Which football team, thanks to a solitary Xabi Alonso goal,
0:12:08 > 0:12:13ended Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten home league record in October 2008?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19OK. Not a bad start.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Arsenal have got a lot of foreigners in their team
0:12:21 > 0:12:24and obviously Xabi Alonso is a foreign name.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Manchester United are trying to be more home-based
0:12:27 > 0:12:29as far as their players are concerned.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33But I know that Mr Alonso, Senor Alonso,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35plays for Liverpool.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I thought you were going to go for Arsenal,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40who, of course, beat them not long after that at home.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Liverpool is the right answer, yes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Good start, Martyn. Just giving me a full answer, weren't you?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Chris. Here's your first question.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Which cricketer became the highest runs scorer in Test match history in October 2008?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I think it's...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04It's not Kevin Pietersen, he's not been at it long enough.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't think it's Mike Hussey.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I think I remember reading it was Sachin Tendulkar,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12who's been playing as long as...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15long enough to be the biggest runs scorer in Test history.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Sachin Tendulkar.- OK.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yes, that's the right answer, well done. I saw Martyn there.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I think he knew that one.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I know he knows that one!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Martyn, second question.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30How many Australian Open singles titles did Pete Sampras win
0:13:30 > 0:13:31during his career?
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Right, OK. Tennis is one of the subjects that perhaps isn't my forte.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Unlike CJ, who probably knows the answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I know he's won a sack full at Wimbledon,
0:13:47 > 0:13:48which were played on grass.
0:13:48 > 0:13:55Purely on the basis that it's not a grass and I think it's a hard court
0:13:55 > 0:13:59in Australia, I might be wrong, I'm gonna go just for the two.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Yeah, well done, Martyn. A lot of reasoning, you got the right answer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Two - very good answer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- Out of interest, CJ, how many Wimbledons did he win? - You had the three totals up there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Seven Wimbledons, five USs, two Australians.- Seven Wimbledons, wow.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Second question for Chris. Will Carling represented England
0:14:20 > 0:14:24at rugby union over 70 times typically playing in which position?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29He's a big, beefy chap, isn't he?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Flankers tend to be more whippet-like,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34so they can zoom up and down the flank.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Centres are a bit gnome-like, aren'tthey ?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So because he was a big, beefy chap, I'll say full back.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm sure he filled in there,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- but he's a centre. - Is he?- Yeah. A centre.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51So, Martyn, if you get this question right, you've won the head to head.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57For how many years did Jesse Owens' 1935 long jump world record stand?
0:15:00 > 0:15:07For how many years did Jesse Owens' 1935 long jump world record stand?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13I remember Bob Beamon breaking the world long jump record
0:15:13 > 0:15:16at the Mexico Olympics in 1968.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Then it was broken obviously in 1960 by someone. 25 years.
0:15:21 > 0:15:2225 years, Dermot.
0:15:22 > 0:15:2425 years, OK.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And it is the right answer. Well done, Martyn.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Martyn has got a comprehensive victory over Chris.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Martyn, you're playing in the final. No place for you, Chris.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Well, the Marauders have started marauding.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Two Eggheads out and they've lost one brain themselves from the final round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Our last head to head before that final round now is film and television.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Phil or Nathan remain.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Film and television. - I'll be playing that.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Phil, straight away. Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Judith, please. - Or Kevin.- It's Judith.
0:15:59 > 0:16:06Let's have Phil and Judith into the question room, please.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Phil, you had no hesitation going for this one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Is this the category you wanted?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'm a couch potato really, so that's the one I'm going for.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18OK, well, let's see how you do. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19First, please.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Good luck, Phil.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28A 2008 TV series featured the explorer, Bruce Parry, travelling along which river?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I didn't see this particular show.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I seem to recall a show being on BBC2 about the Amazon,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42so I shall go for that answer. Amazon.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And it is the Amazon. That is the right answer. Well done, Phil.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53Judith, which Monty Python film ends with the song Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think that is The Life Of Brian.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You'd be hard pressed not to have known that by this time,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07having spent so much time with Chris, wouldn't you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It is the right answer, The Life Of Brian.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13We're not going to get a line from it, Chris.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15One each, Phil.
0:17:15 > 0:17:22In which 1961 film does George Peppard play a character called Paul Varjak?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Right, I know The Misfits was Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I can't remember if George Peppard was actually in that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Barefoot In The Park, I believe was Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40I may be wrong on that one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44But I definitely know George Peppard was in Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46If that's the right year, I don't know,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48but I'll go for Breakfast at Tiffany's.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Sounds logical to me. It's the right answer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Ooh, knows his film. Well done, Phil.
0:17:57 > 0:18:04In which TV soap did Norman Wisdom play fitness fanatic Ernie Crabbe
0:18:04 > 0:18:06in 2004 at the age of 89?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It was before my EastEnders stint,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16so I don't know whether he was in that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I don't know that Coronation Street were very keen on fitness, were they?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Norman Wisdom.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I don't know what Family Affairs...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I've never seen Family Affairs. Um...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I think it might be Coronation Street.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Coronation Street?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm sort of slightly feeling dodgy about EastEnders.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So, what are you going for?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I think I might go for EastEnders after all that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's probably Family Affairs.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53How do you keep up with EastEnders when you're in France?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Is it on BBC World?
0:18:56 > 0:19:02I've got a sort of satellite arrangement where I get it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07OK. But you didn't start watching it till after 2004?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09No, only the last couple of years.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Which would have helped you noticing that Norman Wisdom wasn't in it.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- It's Coronation Street. - Oh, how annoying. I just changed.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19You changed in the middle, before it was lit up.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24You hesitated and switched to EastEnders, which is great news for Phil.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You just need to get this then, Phil.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Where was the actor, Christian Bale, born?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Where was the actor, Christian Bale, born?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Christian Bale is from Ammanford in Wales.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Being Welsh, I know that.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I just hope that's right now, cos I know he lived there.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44A good Welsh lad.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Yes, he is. He's Welsh.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Couldn't have been better for you, could it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Just eased you through. No need for another question, Judith.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56You're playing in the final round, Phil. Please rejoin your teams.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00This is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Those of you who lost your head to heads can't take part in this round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So, Paul from the Midweek Marauders and Chris, Judith and CJ
0:20:11 > 0:20:15from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22So, Martyn, Phil, Nathan and Derek, you're playing to win The Midweek Marauders £10,000.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Barry and Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This time, the questions are general knowledge and you can confer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Midweek Marauders, the question is are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Midweek Marauders, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51First question to you then, Midweek Marauders.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55The Jewish Sabbath starts at sunset on which day?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02The Jewish Sabbath starts at sunset on which day?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03It's not Monday.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Definitely not Saturday. - It's Friday evening.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Friday, Dermot.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- You all agree?- Yep.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Right answer, yes, Friday. Good start.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Eased them in there. OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:22Eggheads, in the traditional nursery rhyme, who do the three blind mice run after?
0:21:25 > 0:21:30In the nursery rhyme, who do the three blind mice run after?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31The farmer's wife,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Brutal really, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's the farmer's wife.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It is the farmer's wife.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Eggheads get one there.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43OK, Midweek Marauders.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Who wrote the lyrics for the musical, Evita?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Who wrote the lyrics for the musical, Evita?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Evita is by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Tim Rice wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Did he?
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- Shall we go with that?- It's not the other two, so it must be Tim Rice.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Tim Rice, Dermot.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Lyrics for Evita are by Tim Rice.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It's the right answer. Two to you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:24Eggheads, in Renaissance and Baroque arts, what is the Italian word for the figure of a pudgy male baby,
0:22:24 > 0:22:29typically naked and winged, found in many paintings and sculptures?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36In Renaissance and Baroque art, what is the Italian word
0:22:36 > 0:22:40for the figure of a pudgy male baby, typically naked and winged,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42found in many paintings and sculptures?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Essentially the same sort of thing as a cherub - its a putto.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53So, it's 2-2. Midweek Marauders, then.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Mitching is another term for which activity?
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Mitching is another term for which activity? M-I-T-C-H-I-N-G.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11It's something that we used to do quite a lot,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Friday afternoons. It's truancy.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- It's a Welsh term actually, mitching.- It's truancy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20They used it in Northern Ireland where I was brought up as well.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24So you know that very well. Heard of it, never really did it myself.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Truanting, fell nicely for you there.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Three out of three. So, Eggheads, you've got to get this.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33After China was conquered in the 17th century, what were
0:23:33 > 0:23:40Chinese men required to wear as a sign of servitude until the advent of the Republic in 1912?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It's a pigtail.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50A pigtail it is. Eggheads, it's all square.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53We go to sudden death then, Midweek Marauders, which means, as you know,
0:23:53 > 0:24:00we remove those multiple choices and I have to hear an answer from you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03What is the currency of Hungary?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05What is the currency of Hungary?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07F-O-R-I-N-T.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Have they changed to the euro?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14No. They're not in the euro, it's the forint.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Are you sure they're not in the euro?- Yes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Zloty is definitely Poland.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- I'm going with that. - Zloty is Poland.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I'm going with forint then.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- The currency of Hungary?- The forint.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Forint.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Derek, you were adamant about that.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Not joined the euro yet?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- No.- Have you done business with them?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Been there?- I've been there, yes.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Right answer. Forint, correct.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40OK, Eggheads.
0:24:41 > 0:24:49Which Radio Four entertainment programme first broadcast in 1977, has been chaired by Barry Norman,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Barry Took, Simon Hoggart and Sandi Toksvig?
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Which Radio Four entertainment programme first broadcast in 1977,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03has been chaired by Barry Norman, Barry Took, Simon Hoggart and Sandi Toksvig?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Can't think of any other candidates? - Absolutely.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's the News Quiz.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11The News Quiz is correct.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14So, on we go. Another question for each team.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Midweek Marauders,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19what is the name of the oldest independent railway in Britain,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23originally set up to carry slates from mines in North Wales?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27What is the name of the oldest independent railway in Britain,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31originally set up to carry slates from mines in North Wales?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Are we going with that, Ffestiniog?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's this Ffestiniog Railway, Dermot.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It couldn't have fallen better for you, could it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The Ffestiniog Railway is correct. Well done!
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Right to go first. A nice couple of questions suited them down to the ground, right on their patch.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52OK, Eggheads.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58The word "shampoo" is derived from which language?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03The word "shampoo" is derived from which language?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I seem to remember it was Persian origin.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12In fact I'm sure it was of Persian origin.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Any other candidates?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19The only possible other candidate, I suppose, would have been an Indian language. I don't think it is.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It was my first thought as well.- OK.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28I'm just pondering the idea whether it might be China or something.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It was both our first thoughts.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32OK, hopefully we won't regret it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Both our first thoughts were Persian, so we'll say Persian.- OK.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Shampoo is derived from...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45..Hindi. Midweek Marauders, you've won!
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I knew that!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52You knew that as well. We can't give you an extra grand.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Ten grand will do.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Double bubble, surely.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Just on that, Eggheads, that wasn't even second on your list, Hindi.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- It was second on my list.- Chinese.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Third on yours.- Third on Kevin's.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well, bad luck, Eggheads.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09No, not bad luck. You were beaten fair and square.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Beaten in the head to heads. Beaten in the final round. How does that feel then, Marauders?
0:27:12 > 0:27:18- Fabulous, thank you. - Is it worth coming down the rugby club for a few drinks?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You're more than welcome. And the rest of them.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23CJ's local, if he wants to come over on a Wednesday night.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Absolutely, join the quiz.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29What are you going to do with the money? Any ideas about a holiday?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I'm a student so you can guess where mine's going.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Well, it will come in very useful. I must say as well, just looking at you,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40a message goes out to other teams preparing to play the Eggheads.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Your preparation was excellent. You knew the quiz inside out.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50You knew the individual strengths and weaknesses of the Eggheads inside out and you had a game plan.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55You were prepared to adapt that game plan when it went wrong with Paul, when he lost that.
0:27:55 > 0:28:02- We hadn't prepared for Barry. - Ah, well, there's always a variable, isn't there?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Congratulations again to you, Midweek Marauders.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Thank you very much for taking our money.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads and you've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Until then, goodbye.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Well done, guys.
