0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show were 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 > 0:00:33You might recognise them, as they are goliaths
0:00:33 > 0:00:37in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Taking on our champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Beached Boys.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The team are all members of a Beach Boys tribute band
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and all I can say is, Wouldn't It Be Nice if they won?!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Alan. I'm 60. I'm keyboard player and vocal arranger.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm David. I'm 47 and I'm the bass player and vocalist.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm George. I am 48. I'm guitarist and vocalist.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Kev. I'm 53 and I'm the lead vocalist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 49 and I'm the drummer and vocalist.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13So, how did you guys get together? Have you all been, I mean,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16in the music business for a long time and played for different bands?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Yeah, we've been together in this line-up for about six years,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25but as the whole, it's been about ten years in total.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yeah. And, I mean, the Beached Boys have been going a long time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Is there a great demand for a tribute band like yours?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Umm, very much so. - Especially In The Summertime!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Yeah, I can understand that, hence the shirts!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But let's not start without... Can you give us a bar or two?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And talking of a bar or two, perhaps some Barbara Ann?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48# Ba-Ba-Ba Ba-Barbara Ann
0:01:48 > 0:01:50# Ba-Ba-Ba Ba-Barbara Ann
0:01:50 > 0:01:56- # Oh, Barbara Ann, take my hand - # Ba-Ba-Ba Ba-Barbara Ann
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- # Barbara Ann - # Ba-Ba-Ba Ba-Barbara Ann
0:01:59 > 0:02:01# You got me rockin' and a rollin'
0:02:01 > 0:02:05# Rockin' and a reelin' Barbara Ann, Ba-ba Ba-Barbara Ann. #
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Thank you very much, Beached Boys. Now, let's play Eggheads.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17If they fail,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, Beached Boys, the Eggheads have won just
0:02:22 > 0:02:26the last game, which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31And our first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of History.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I bet you're hoping for music, but this one is History.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Who'd like to play this?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Well, not me!- No!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40This is a process of elimination.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It's either you or myself.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm happy for you to go for that, if you want.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47No, I don't particularly!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- OK, I'll go for it. - I think it'll have to be you, Dave.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51OK, my turn.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52All right then, David.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Any Egghead is available. We're just kicking off, of course.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Well, what do you think?- I think we ought to take on CJ on history.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00- You think so, Captain?- Yeah.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Yeah. We would like to play... David would like to play CJ.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Is this on the basis he hasn't been around as long...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Exactly.- ..as the rest of us here?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Let's have David and CJ into the question room,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14just to ensure you can't confer with team mates.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Would you like to go first or second in this History round, Dave?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think I'll go first.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26OK, off you go. Good luck, David.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Which famous Englishman was referred to by his Spanish adversaries
0:03:30 > 0:03:31as "The Dragon"?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Um, it would be a calculated guess, here.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44I don't believe Richard the Lionheart had much to do with the Spanish
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and I think Robert Clive was "Clive of India".
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I would suggest, because of his notoriety,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53that it was probably Francis Drake.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Promising form there, from that analysis.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59That's the right answer, David, for all the right reasons.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06OK, CJ, in Ancient Rome what was a sestertii, or sestertius?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'm not sure I've heard this
0:04:12 > 0:04:18but I've heard names for soothsayers and I've heard names for temples
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and neither of those ring a bell. There were different coins around,
0:04:21 > 0:04:22so I'm going for coin.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Coin. A sestertii.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Other Eggheads?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Correct.- It's correct.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Said very definitively by Daphne. You worked it out.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Well, done, CJ. So, one apiece.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39David, in which year did the Apache leader, Geronimo,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41give his final surrender to the US Army?
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Well, I think, 1926, you can safely say, was a little bit too late.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I think 1886 is the most likely answer.- OK.
0:04:56 > 0:05:03You think Geronimo finally surrendered to the US Army in 1886 -
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and you'd be right. Well done again, David.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Two to David
0:05:07 > 0:05:10and CJ's second question.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Prince Norodom Sihanouk was installed on the Cambodian throne
0:05:14 > 0:05:19in 1941 by a Governor General from which country?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm not sure, but, erm...
0:05:26 > 0:05:30..I'm not aware of China or Britain having that much influence
0:05:30 > 0:05:32in Cambodia, at that time.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36France, I think, were involved in the...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39earlier part of the 20th century.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Uh, apart from that, I've got nothing to go on, so I'll try France.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45France? OK, on the basis that it was
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- the dominant colonial power in that region?- I'm hoping.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49You're right, CJ.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Yeah, you've worked it out again. Yes, France is correct.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54So, France there makes it 2-2
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and the third question each.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02David, who was the head of the Soviet delegation at Brest-Litovsk,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05where the peace treaty between Russia and Germany
0:06:05 > 0:06:06was signed in 1918?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I really don't know the answer to this.
0:06:12 > 0:06:19I seem to think that Trotsky might have actually operated
0:06:19 > 0:06:22on Lenin's behalf in these sort of things.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, I think I will go for Trotsky.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Trotsky, OK.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Is the...right answer. Yes, well done!
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Right, CJ,
0:06:36 > 0:06:37you need to get this, then.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42In the early 1870s, the Swiss linguist and explorer,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Werner Munzinger, commanded the forces
0:06:44 > 0:06:46of which country in their conquest of Abyssinia?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I think Egypt DID invade Abyssinia.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Italy did it later.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Um, I think there was some link between Egypt and Abyssinia,
0:06:59 > 0:07:00so I'll go for Egypt.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Egypt...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03is the right answer, CJ.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You two are playing really well.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What a round this is shaping up to be.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11We're going to change the character of the round slightly.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13After three questions, if it's all-square,
0:07:13 > 0:07:18we go to sudden death and we remove the choices you've seen up to now,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21that you've been working with so well. So, it's a lot harder.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I've just got to hear an answer and this is your question.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Catherine of Valois was the wife of which king of England?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You know, this is going to have to be a complete shot in the dark.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm going to go for George III.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41No, it's not George III.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Do you know, CJ, if you'd been put in first by David?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I don't, but I'd guess Richard I.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- No.- Henry V.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Henry V from Daphne. Henry V.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Catherine of Valois.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, the first opportunity
0:07:56 > 0:07:59to win the round goes to CJ.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05CJ, the McMahon Line was marked out in 1914
0:08:05 > 0:08:09as the dividing line between Tibet and which country?
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Well, this person sounds British,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18so, hopefully, it might be a country in which Britain had some influence.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22So, I'm not going to go for China, I'm going to go for India.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24India...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27is correct, CJ! You're in the final round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Both of you working really well there,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31very logically and forensically
0:08:31 > 0:08:34working out the answers, but David, I'm sorry to say
0:08:34 > 0:08:36you won't be in the final round.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I think you would have been a real help
0:08:38 > 0:08:40if you had been there, but it's not to be.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Come back and join your teams.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Well, an extremely tight round.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49CJ just edged David out which means the Beached Boys
0:08:49 > 0:08:51have lost one brain, so far.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55The Eggheads are all there. Our next subject today is Arts & Books.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Beached Boys, apart from David,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01any of the other four are available to play this. Arts & Books.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Probably it should...- Our Paul?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Do you think? I'm the sacrificial lamb!
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Either Paul or George, actually, the sacrificial lambs.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Go on then, I'll sacrifice myself, shall I?- Yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, Paul, OK.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Nobody fancies it at all. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think I'll take on Chris.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Could Paul and Chris take their positions
0:09:24 > 0:09:25in the question room?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Now, Paul, let's go to the matter in hand - Arts & Books.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You said you may be the "sacrificial lamb". We'll see.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'll dive over first.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42OK, good luck, Paul. In which year did Charles Dickens die?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Oh, my goodness.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54OK, well, I think 1770 is too early.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm going to plump for a little bit later
0:09:57 > 0:10:00than that, so, 1870 is my answer, Dermot.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah, absolutely.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Chronicler of the Victorian years - the right answer. Well done.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Chris, the book The Boy In The Dress,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13published in October 2008,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16is the first children's novel by which comedian?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24That is by David Walliams.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It is, yes. Well done.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29David Walliams, The Boy In The Dress.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31OK, Paul, good start.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34In which Jane Austen novel does Louisa Musgrove have
0:10:34 > 0:10:37a nasty accident on the Cob at Lyme Regis?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43That's a very good question(!)
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I'm being... I'm being drawn towards
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Northanger Abbey.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- So, that will be my answer.- OK. - Northanger Abbey.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Louisa Musgrove has a nasty accident on the Cob at Lyme Regis in...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02..Persuasion.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Persuasion. So, bad luck, Paul.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07A chance for Chris for the lead.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Chris, who wrote the 1953 novel, Go Tell It On The Mountain,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13featuring John Grimes, the stepson
0:11:13 > 0:11:14of a Pentecostal preacher?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I don't think it's Don DeLillo.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And I think James Baldwin
0:11:25 > 0:11:27is best known for The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore,
0:11:27 > 0:11:32but it sounds a bit Faulkner-esque, so I'll say William Faulkner.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's James Baldwin.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35- Is it?- It is James Baldwin.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39So, a let off and, Paul,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41you're still in it. All to play for.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Which British artist is famous for her 1992 sculptural installation,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Two Fried Eggs And A Kebab?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It sounds more like my lunch!
0:11:59 > 0:12:04I like the name Gillian Wearing, so I'll answer Gillian Wearing.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Gillian Wearing, Two Fried Eggs And A Kebab.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Afraid not. It's Sarah Lucas.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Sarah Lucas there, so a chance
0:12:14 > 0:12:16for Chris to take the round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Which Victorian author wrote the 50-poem sequence, Modern Love,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22reflecting the failure of his first marriage?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Well, the only Modern Love I've ever heard of was by Marie Stokes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33No, that was Married Love, wasn't it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Yes. That was Ernest Dowson, surely?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- No, it's George Meredith.- Oh. - George Meredith.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Ooh, Paul!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47One of those last two correct would have got you through.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50It doesn't matter. It is sudden death,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54as you saw David playing, there. This is your question.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Chryselephantine is the word used
0:12:57 > 0:13:01to describe statues made of gold and what other material?
0:13:01 > 0:13:06OK, well, that's a word that I'm completely unfamiliar with,
0:13:06 > 0:13:11but given the fact that part of it is elephantine,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I'd have to have a guess at ivory.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18OK. Chryselephantine.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Gold and...
0:13:20 > 0:13:24ivory. It's the right answer! You picked up on that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Chris, "1801. I have just returned from a visit to my landlord,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34"the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with",
0:13:34 > 0:13:38is the opening line from which 1847 novel?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Bronte, isn't it? Erm...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The Tenant of Wildfell Hall?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I can see where you're going...
0:13:47 > 0:13:51but it's not the right answer, Chris. It is, other Eggheads?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Wuthering Heights.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Wuthering Heights. Ah, the old moors.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Wuthering Heights, which means,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02exceptionally low-scoring round there, but you got
0:14:02 > 0:14:04one more than he did, Paul, so you're playing
0:14:04 > 0:14:07in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's all square and our next head-to-head today is Sport.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Who'd like to play this?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's Alan, George or Kev.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Is it me?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Yeah? OK.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I'm going to play that, Dermot, please.- OK, George.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Which Egghead would you like to play? Daphne, Kevin or Judith?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- I'd like to play Judith, please. - George has decided to play Judith.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Take your positions in the question room.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Now, let's get to this Sport category.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Would you like to go first or second, George?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's not very chivalrous, but I will go first, please.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49OK, first question then, George.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Nick Easter, Tom Rees and James Haskell
0:14:53 > 0:14:55have all represented England at which sport?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03I would have to plump, purely that I'm not that familiar with the names,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05for rugby union please, Dermot.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06It is, yes! Well done.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Nick Easter, Tom Rees, James Haskell - rugby players.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK, Judith, your first question.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Tennis player, Mats Wilander, who won seven Grand Slam
0:15:16 > 0:15:19singles titles during his career, was born in which country?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, I'm sure it wasn't Croatia.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Um, I mean, the trick might be that he was born in Australia,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30but I think he was born in Sweden.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32The Swede Mats Wilander,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34yes, was born in Sweden.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36A solid start from both of you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37George, second question.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Which South African fast bowler, who retired from all forms
0:15:41 > 0:15:45of the game of cricket in 2004, was nicknamed White Lightning?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Oh, dear, bowling.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I'm more of a batting fan.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Something is telling me that Allan Donald
0:15:59 > 0:16:02was prior to that time.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Erm, it's a 50-50. I will go for Shaun Pollock.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Shaun Pollock.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Other Beached Boys?- Allan Donald.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It is Allan Donald, so your 50-50 was always going to go wrong there
0:16:15 > 0:16:19having ruled him out. So, a chance for the lead, Judith.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Which football team won the 1996 European Championships,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28but then failed to win a match in the 2002 and 2004 finals?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I think it might be... Oh, God.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I don't know. France.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40OK, France. It is, other Eggheads?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Germany.- Germany.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It stays all square. Good news for George.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48So, every chance. Here you go.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53At which distance did the Italian athlete, Pietro Mennea,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56hold the world record, from 1979 to 1996?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08'79 to 1996?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I really don't know, so I will have to guess at 800 metres.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14OK, 800 metres.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's 200 metres. 200 metres.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well, a chance then,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Judith, you might win the round.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Which boxer knocked down Joe Frazier,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26the previously undefeated heavyweight champion,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29six times before the fight was stopped in the second round
0:17:29 > 0:17:33of their 1973 world title bout?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I would think it's Muhammad Ali.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43No, it's not.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- It is, other Eggheads?- Not sure.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I was thinking George Foreman.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50It was George Foreman. There we are.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, sudden death again
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and this is your question, George.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Which hugely successful racing stable
0:17:57 > 0:18:00was founded by Sheikh Mohammed in 1992?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'm going to have to pass, Dermot.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I haven't got a clue.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Do you know, Judith?- Godolphin?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Godolphin is the correct answer, there, from Judith.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It doesn't win the round for her, though.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18So, this is your question.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Flamingo, Eggbeater and Ballet Leg
0:18:22 > 0:18:25are key moves in which Olympic competition?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I bet it's formation swimming, or something.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yep, synchronised swimming.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Synchronised swimming.- Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Is correct, Judith.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Gosh!- OK.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Well, it is the right answer and that means
0:18:39 > 0:18:41you won't be in the final, George.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Please come back and join your teams.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48So, two of the Beached Boys now eliminated from the final round,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50one Egghead gone. Our last head-to-head
0:18:50 > 0:18:54comes up now before that final round and this one IS Music.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's music -
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Alan or Kev are available.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01What do you think, boys? It's got to be me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03That's what you were hoping for, was it, Kev?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04The two Kevins, shall we?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08OK, let's have Kev and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Kev, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'd actually like to go second.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21That means you, Kevin, to kick off. You Spin Me Round Like A Record
0:19:21 > 0:19:25was a 1985 UK number one hit single for whom?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32That was Dead Or Alive.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35It's the right answer. Yes, Dead Or Alive.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm sure Kev would have got that,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41but we'll put you in for that and this is your question, Kev.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Which group had a fourth UK number one hit single
0:19:44 > 0:19:48with The Promise, in October 2008?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I've never heard of Bad Lashes.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'm going to say Girls Aloud.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's the right answer, yes, Girls Aloud.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Tricky first one, there.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10OK, Kevin, second question. The opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex, based
0:20:10 > 0:20:16on Sophocles' tragedy, was written in 1927 by which Russian composer?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23One of those was long dead by then,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26which is Tchaikovsky, but this was by Stravinsky.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Oedipus Rex by Stravinsky.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's correct, Kevin.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Two to you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Your second question, Kev.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39The Yeoman Of The Guard is a musical work by which duo?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I've actually done a couple of their musicals,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50so I know it's not Rodgers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Lowe.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Gilbert and Sullivan.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Gilbert and Sullivan, that's the right answer. OK.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Kevin, which Oscar-nominated singer and songwriter
0:21:00 > 0:21:06was born Walden Robert Cassotto in New York in 1936?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I wonder why he changed it(?)
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It wouldn't quite trip off the tongue, would it? It's Bobby Darin.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's the right answer, Kevin.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Yes, Walden Robert Cassotto.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24OK, got to this, then, Kev.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Which rock group entered the Guinness Book of World Records
0:21:28 > 0:21:33on 23 October 1995, when they performed three concerts
0:21:33 > 0:21:37on three different continents in one day?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Well, I don't think it was Status Quo, because I don't think
0:21:45 > 0:21:48they're quite as universal as the other two.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Def Leppard had their, kind of, massive period around about then,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54so I'm going to plump for them.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Sudden death again! It's the right answer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Def Leppard. Well played, Kev.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01OK, well, it goes to sudden death,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03as I said. This one's Kevin's question.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07All I Ask Of You is a song from which stage musical?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I know I have heard of this one, but nothing's coming.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18No. Apologies, team, my brain is not in gear.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I'll say Les Miserables. It's not right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Les Miserables. No, it's not, it's not.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Kev, out of interest?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I'm not sure, but is it possibly Phantom of the Opera?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It is Phantom Of The Opera.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Interesting there that Kev knew it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38Not your question, unfortunately, Kev. This is to kick Kevin out.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Welcome To The Pleasuredome
0:22:40 > 0:22:43was a UK number one album for which band in the 1980s?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46That was Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And you go to the final round. Frankie Goes To Hollywood's correct!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53A place in the final round, Kev.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55You've got to sit it out, Kevin.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Please come back and join your teams.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01So, we now reach the point we've been playing towards.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07but those of you who lost head-to-heads
0:23:07 > 0:23:09won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13So, David and George from the Beached Boys and
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Alan, Kev and Paul, you're playing to win the Beached Boys £2,000.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Judith, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:23:24 > 0:23:27which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32The questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Beached Boys, the question is, are your three brains better
0:23:38 > 0:23:39than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- Beached Boys, would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Good luck. First question.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52What was the first name of Evelyn Waugh's eldest son,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55a renowned writer and journalist, who died in 2001?
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I haven't heard of Archibald.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Or Avery.- Or Avery. - So, we'll go for Auberon.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08OK. Auberon Waugh.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09It's the right answer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Eggheads...
0:24:13 > 0:24:19Night Of The Living Dead is a 1968 zombie film directed by whom?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- Surely, it's... - Yes. It's George A Romero.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32It is the right answer Well done, Eggheads. Good start.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Beached Boys...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38..in 1990, who became the presenter
0:24:38 > 0:24:41of the Radio Four panel show, The Moral Maze?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I've actually listened to this show.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think that may have been Michael Buerk.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55That's my answer, Michael Buerk.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58That's it. So, the rest of you... It's down to you then, Paul.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- We don't listen to Radio Four.- No.- OK.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Well, it's stuck, it's the right answer. Michael Buerk,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07presenter of The Moral Maze.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14Eggheads, in October 2008, it was announced that Sir David Richards
0:25:14 > 0:25:17would become the new head of which organisation?
0:25:21 > 0:25:26MI5. What's her name, Manningham Buller retired lately.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27That's... You know...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Or GCHQ. It's earlier than that, I think.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No, I think it is MI5.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37MI5 is what I'm being swayed towards.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, I think it is MI5.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Something is just twinkling.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45If the two of you think that, I'll go along with you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47OK, Eggheads, got an answer for me?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Sir David Richards would become the new head of which organisation
0:25:51 > 0:25:53it was announced in October 2008?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55MI5.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58MI5.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59It's the British Army.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Oh, no!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03What a great opportunity!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Are they going to be beached Eggheads?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07They don't get another question.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11If you get this, you've won the round and you've won the money.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Following his sub-four-minute-mile run,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Roger Bannister carved out a distinguished career
0:26:17 > 0:26:18in which branch of medicine?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25For £2,000,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28one of those three.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Alan thinks he knows this one.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31I think I know this one.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm just going to take a stab at it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36OK? I'm going to say immunology.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39OK, immunology.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43No, it's not immunology, it is neurology.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Oh, that is...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I've got no nails left!
0:26:49 > 0:26:54This is a tense round. Listen, they still lose if they get this wrong,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57so you've still got a chance.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Eggheads, the phrase "belling the cat",
0:27:01 > 0:27:05referring to the pointlessness of suggesting impractical solutions
0:27:05 > 0:27:08to problems, is inspired by a work of which writer?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Out of those, I'd go for Chaucer.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's definitely... It's not
0:27:19 > 0:27:21a French phrase, I don't think,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- "bell the cat".- It's...yeah...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28If it was translated, it wouldn't have been translated
0:27:28 > 0:27:29into "belling the cat".
0:27:29 > 0:27:32With Aesop...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Once again, Beached Boys, they're struggling again.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I've never heard of this saying. I've never heard of "belling the cat".
0:27:38 > 0:27:41So, we are going to go for Chaucer, aren't we?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- OK. Yes, let's go.- All in together. - Yes. Right, one, two, three.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- ALL: Chaucer.- "Belling the cat". - CJ: Never heard of it.- OK.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- It's going to be Aesop. - I can't look!
0:27:51 > 0:27:55We played sudden death in every one of those head-to-heads.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- But not this one.- But not this one!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01That is incorrect. It's Aesop.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02- Is it?- Beached Boys, you've won!
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Fantastic performance, Beached Boys. Really, really well played there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14The head-to-heads, there was a master plan
0:28:14 > 0:28:18in place there and I suppose the turning point may have been
0:28:18 > 0:28:21the Kev-Kevin head-to-head there on music,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24but up there with your best performances on stage, I suspect.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27It means you've just won £2,000.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30You are officially cleverer than
0:28:30 > 0:28:32the Eggheads and proved they can be beaten.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:35 > 0:28:38will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
