0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz 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 > 0:00:34You might recognise them, as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Four Teachers and an Engineer.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The team is made up of former work colleagues, friends and family.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Some of their many hobbies include marathon running,
0:00:48 > 0:00:53British battle sites, fishing, bassoon playing and astrophysics.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Steve.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm 51 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nicola. I'm 33 and I'm a science teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Dave.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm 63 and I'm an engineer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Hi, I'm Arleen, 70 and I'm a language teacher.- Hi, I'm Mike.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm 47 and I'm a science teacher.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Must congratulate you by the way on your team name.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It does what it says on the tin. Four teachers and an engineer.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23None of this playing around with puns on Eggheads.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24What you see is what you get.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Exactly. That's what I like.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Hopefully it's not astrophysics and bassoon playing at the same time?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I don't think so.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But we have quite a multiplex of talents between us.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And with a bit of luck that'll take us through to win.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Yeah. Well, I suppose, what four teachers...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Dave's there as the engineer.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So, you've a lot of different subjects covered.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Let's see a straightforward victory today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So, Four Teachers and an Engineer, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And our first head-to-head battle
0:02:04 > 0:02:07is on Food and Drink. Who's down for that one?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Who's up to this one? - It's Nicola, isn't it?- Nicola?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Do you want to do this one? - Yeah, OK.- Go for it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- I'll go for that one.- Who would you like to play?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Any one of the Eggheads. - Can we go with Barry, please?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yes. Let's have Nicola and Barry
0:02:23 > 0:02:24into the question room.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Just to make sure you can't confer with your team members.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31OK, then, Nicola, it's Food and Drink. Are you a keen cook?
0:02:31 > 0:02:32I like to cook, yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34And eat out. But cooking mostly.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK. Do you want to go first or let Barry begin?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'll go first, please.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, good luck, Nicola. Here's your first question.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49The name of which fortified wine is derived from that of a Spanish city
0:02:49 > 0:02:53in the Cadiz province of Andalusia?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I'm really not sure what the answer is to this.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Possibly eliminate sherry
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and maybe I would go for marsala.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09It's sherry, Nicola.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's the one you eliminated. Sherry. The old Spanish sherry.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14So, Barry, chance for the lead.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Which type of bean's speckled skin is reflected in its name,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23which is Spanish for painted or mottled?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I don't know the answer to this one.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32But I do know that a pinto horse has a mottled appearance.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33So, I shall go for pinto bean.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Pinto bean is correct. From...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38from the horses there. Well done, Barry. OK, right.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Let's get you started, Nicola.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45What type of food appears on a French menu as volaille?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Well, to me I would eliminate beef. Because I think that's boeuf.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55And I think I would go with fish over poultry.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58So, I'll go for fish, please.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00It's poultry. That would be your poisson,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think, on the fish. OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Barry, you win the round if you get this.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Kulcha is an Indian type of what?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Kulcha.- Kulcha. K-U-L-C-H-A.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Hmm. Well, I know most types of Indian bread
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and I've never heard of that. So, I don't think it's a flatbread.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I think Kulfi is Indian ice cream.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31So, on the basis that it might have a similar, similar root,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I will go for it being a dessert.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And go for rice dessert.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I see where you're coming from, Barry,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39but it's not the right answer.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- It is actually a flatbread. - Oh.- Kulcha is a flatbread.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Tricky question. Well, glad to see it was a tricky one for you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Because it keeps Nicola's hopes alive.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Right, Nicola. What phrase describes the principle in a restaurant
0:04:52 > 0:04:55of presenting dishes one at a time in a set order?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'll go for Service a la Suede.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Because I really... I don't know French at all.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14So, I'm afraid I'm just going to guess at Service a la Suede.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16OK. Suede. It's the Russian way.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Service a la Russe.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It is Service a la Russe is presenting dishes
0:05:22 > 0:05:23one at a time in a set order.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You're not playing in the final round.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Barry doesn't need to face another question.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Next it's Music. Who'd like to play this one?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Can't be Nicola.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Any one of the other four, Music?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Music, guys.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Who's going to go for that? Mike, you're our musician.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51As long as there's nothing modern, that's a... I'll give it a go.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Which Egghead would you like to choose?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Chris? - Take Chris, yeah. Take Chris on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- OK. Take Chris. - Shall I take Chris?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00We'll try Chris, please.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Let's have Mike and Chris into the question room.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Mike, you've been or are a conductor, aren't you?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I have done a bit of conducting.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I used to conduct the Wolverhampton Symphony Orchestra.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Which is an orchestra of amateur musicians
0:06:15 > 0:06:18and music teachers in the Wolverhampton area.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That was a privilege. Did that for ten years.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And since then I've just been playing in the local area.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Playing in shows and concerts.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- What do you play?- I'm a bassoonist. - As we mentioned.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That noble instrument, yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I am that bassoonist.- Good.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- OK. Well, bassoonist Mike, would you like to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Good luck and here we are.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Well, this might suit you then. The percussion instrument the triangle
0:06:47 > 0:06:49is usually made of which metal?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The percussion instrument the triangle
0:06:53 > 0:06:55is usually made of which metal?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- I'm going to go for steel, please. - It's steel.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's right. Yes, well done.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Good stuff, Mike. Good start. OK, Chris.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Who had a best selling album in 1985 with No Jacket Required?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think I've actually got this album somewhere.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16It's Phil Collins.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20That would just be on the cut off point for you?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23That would be extreme modernity '85.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25That is postmodern as far as I'm concerned.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, I see. It's the right answer.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31No Jacket Required by Phil Collins. OK, Mike.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Since the 1980s Chas and Dave have lent their vocal and instrumental
0:07:36 > 0:07:40talents to a number of singles recorded by which football team?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Right. I'm not very sure about this one.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I would have said, of course, a London club,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but they're all London clubs. So, I'm a bit stuck at the moment.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I don't think it's Spurs
0:07:57 > 0:08:01or West Ham.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'm going to say Chelsea.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK, Chelsea. Steve, you're the Chelsea fan.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Do Chas and Dave sing paeons of praise to Chelsea?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I am, I am a big Chelsea fan and no,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Chas and Dave have never sung any songs about Chelsea, I'm afraid.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Maybe abusing Chelsea.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17They're big Tottenham fans.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's Spurs. Yeah, Tottenham Hotspur, Mike.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22They're from my neck of the woods.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Of course they're Spurs supporters. - Did they?- Yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- You like a Chas and Dave number? - Now and again, yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Right, OK. Well, chance for the lead for you, Chris.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Which singer's first hits in the UK included Ain't That A Shame in 1955
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and Long Tall Sally in 1956?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oh, good grief!
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Well, it's not Andy Williams. They're not his sort of material at all.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Long Tall Sally.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Don't think it was Pat Boone either. Must have been Frankie Avalon.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58It ain't a shame for Mike. That's incorrect.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It is Pat Boone.- Is it? - Yeah, it's Pat Boone.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04But it stays all square, of course.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Mike, third question. Which Billy Joel song,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12a UK Top 40 single in 1978 is subtitled Anthony's Song?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Right. I've heard this song and I can hear it going through my head.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- I'm going to go for Movin' Out please, Dermot.- Movin' Out.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Subtitled Anthony's Song. A hit for Billy Joel in 1978.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36It's the right answer. Well, done, Mike. Movin' Out.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Well, Chris, which French composer was appointed organist
0:09:42 > 0:09:45at the church of La Trinite in Paris in 1931,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48a post he held until his death in 1992?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Well, surely Pierre Boulez was a conductor not a composer.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think Poulenc was earlier. So, it must have been Olivier Messiaen.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Olivier Messiaen...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's the right answer, Chris, yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Worked that out and was able to eliminate Boulez
0:10:12 > 0:10:13and give him a 50/50 there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And it means we go to sudden death, Mike.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18We remove the choices you've seen up to this point.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Got to hear an answer from you. Same applies to Chris.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22And this is your question, Mike.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Which Queen song was the UK Christmas number one single
0:10:27 > 0:10:30in both 1975 and 1991?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I think this is the finest single ever written.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35I think it's Bohemian Rhapsody.
0:10:35 > 0:10:42Bohemian Rhapsody is the right answer. Yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Chris, you've got to get this then.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48"I'm just a poor boy though my story's seldom told,"
0:10:48 > 0:10:52is the opening line to which Simon & Garfunkel song?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55# I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles
0:10:55 > 0:10:57# Such are promises. #
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- It's The Boxer. - And Barry was singing along as well.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- One of my favourite songs. - Do you practise this together?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- We should!- Correct. "I'm just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told."
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Right, another question each.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Mike, which musical instrument invented
0:11:12 > 0:11:17in the Soviet Union in the 1920s is played without being touched?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Played without being touched?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I'm thinking of the wand thing where you move your hands in and out.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29But I think that's a bit later and I don't know what it's called.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I'm stuck on that one.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I really don't know.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- Any ideas? Going to have a guess or anything, Mike? - I really don't know. Sorry.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44OK, it's a pass. Do you know, Chris?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I can visualise it. It works by passing your hands over it rather than touching it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- But what's it called I don't know. - Anyone? I'll throw it wide open.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- It's a theremin.- A theremin. - It was used to wonderful effect on The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Was it?- It made all that strange sound.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03A chance for Chris to win the round. Chris,
0:12:03 > 0:12:09who composed the music for the 1976 opera, Einstein On The Beach?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It's Philip Glass, isn't it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Is that your answer?- Yep.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16It is. Philip Glass is correct, Chris.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Bad luck there, Mike.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Good player, good round, Mike.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Would you both please rejoin your teams?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27You've lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Four Teachers and an Engineer down to two teachers and an engineer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Our next category today is Arts and Books. Who'd like to play this?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Arts and Books?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Steve, Dave or Arleen?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42What do we reckon?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- The language teacher, we think.- She's doing it all in sign language there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Who would you like to play from the Eggheads, Arleen?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51And it can't be Barry or Chris.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- So, that leaves Judith, Daphne or CJ.- Judith, please.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Let's have Arleen and Judith into the question room then, please,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00to play Arts and Books.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, Arleen, in the introduction I mentioned
0:13:02 > 0:13:06bassoon playing and astrophysics amongst the team's many talents.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10We've met the bassoon player and you're the astrophysician?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I've had a lifelong fascination with astronomy and the stars.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And all the things that go on in astrophysics. But please, please,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22please, please understand I really know so little about it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I really do. I don't profess to understand anything.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26But it does fascinate me.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Luckily, you're not playing the Science category.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33So, I don't think too many questions along those lines will crop up.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Arleen, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38May I go first, please?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Of course you may and here comes your first question.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49The Vicar Of Nibbleswicke, published in 1991 shortly after the death of the writer is by whom?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Well, I would put my money on it being Roald Dahl,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02simply because of the date of the death of the author.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06So, may I choose please Roald Dahl,
0:14:06 > 0:14:07even if it is wrong?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You may choose it and it isn't wrong.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's the right answer and you got it for so many reasons there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16On the dates. The Vicar Of Nibbleswicke, by Roald Dahl.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So, Judith, your first question. Bloomsday,
0:14:18 > 0:14:23held on the 16th of June every year, commemorates the day on which
0:14:23 > 0:14:27the events in which famous novel took place?
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Bloomsday, held on the 16th of June every year, commemorates
0:14:35 > 0:14:38the day on which the events in which famous novel took place?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Well, I think that must be Ulysses. - Why? Just explain the link for us.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46Because Bloom is a character in Ulysses.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Leopold Bloom?- Yeah. - OK. Yep, it's the right answer.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53It's correct. There we are. OK, so it's one apiece.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56And your question now, Arleen.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The Winds Of War, which was adapted as a successful
0:14:59 > 0:15:05TV miniseries in the 1980s is a 1971 novel by which author?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15A loud silence greets this question from me.
0:15:15 > 0:15:22For some weird reason James Michener is going through my head.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24But I couldn't tell you why.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29And that's purely just a, just a thought.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35I think again, for no apparent reason, I'll choose James Michener.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37But it could be wrong.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42A TV miniseries in the '80s written in 1971 by Herman Wouk.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46All right. But didn't get the right answer from Arleen.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49A chance for Judith to take the lead with her second question.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Which singer commissioned the US artist Stephen Hannock
0:15:54 > 0:15:59to paint Northern City Renaissance, unveiled at the Laing Art Gallery
0:15:59 > 0:16:01in November 2008?
0:16:06 > 0:16:13Well, it must be someone with connections to the North. And I...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17somehow I think of Sting and Bryan Ferry as being sort of Southerners.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21So, perhaps it's Jimmy Nail.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26OK, Jimmy Nail on that list of very proud Geordies...all.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Are they all?- Yes.- Oh, dear!
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Well, in that case I wouldn't have chosen him. I'd have chosen Sting.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36That's right. That's who it is. It's Sting but it's too late now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Northern City Renaissance was commissioned by Sting
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and created by Stephen Hannock.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44There we are. It's all square still.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Arleen, third question for you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53The Painted Word is a 1975 book of art criticism by which writer?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Again, spoilt for choice. Ha-ha.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Gore Vidal?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11OK, you're going for Gore Vidal?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's incorrect, I'm sorry.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It is Tom Wolfe.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Tom Wolfe wrote The Painted Word.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22So, a chance for you, Judith, to take the round. Halvard Solness
0:17:22 > 0:17:26is the central character in which of Henrik Ibsen's plays?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Halvard Solness is the central character in which of Ibsen's plays?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I think it's The Master Builder.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Halvard Solness is in The Master Builder. It's right, Judith.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So, it means you're through to the final round. Bad luck, Arleen.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51No place for you, sorry to say.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Down to a teacher and an engineer. Three brains
0:17:57 > 0:18:00gone from the final. The Eggheads are all still in.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Here's your last chance to knock one of them out.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05This category's Film and Television.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08And Steve or Dave to play Film and Television.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Well, the...the plan was to leave Dave till the end.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15So, I was going to pick up whatever came. So, I'll do that one.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- So, this is it, then?- Yep.- OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And which Egghead would you like to play?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It can be... Look at Daphne and CJ.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Wouldn't it be just so nice to play both of them?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Such a winsome couple. - I'll take Daphne on, please.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Daphne.- Yes.- Daphne and Steve into the question room, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Steve, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Ladies first, Dermot.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Change in tactics from Four Teachers and an Engineer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Putting the Egghead in.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44That's Daphne.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49What is the surname of Betty and Barney in the TV cartoon series The Flintstones?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Rubble. And they have a little boy called Bamm-Bamm.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Betty and Barney Rubble. It's the right answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03OK, your first question, Steve.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Nicole Kidman won an Oscar for playing which author in the 2002 film The Hours?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The last question Daphne's just got I would have gone yabba-dabba-doo,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18because I knew the answer to that.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23But looking at those, I don't think it's Sylvia Plath.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I'm pretty sure it's not Iris Murdoch.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I'm shall we say semi certain it's Virginia Woolf.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33You can say yabba-dabba-doo here. It may not be appropriate but
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I won't stop you. It is the right answer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Virginia Woolf.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, Daphne,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44the cop dramas McQ in 1974 and Brannigan in 1975
0:19:44 > 0:19:48were two of the last films starring which actor?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I don't think it's Henry Fonda.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, I hope it's John Wayne.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01It's the right answer. Yes, John Wayne, yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Steve, here's your second one.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07What is the first name of Hopkirk, the character played by Kenneth Cope,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10in the TV series Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased)?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well, I used to watch this a lot, Dermot.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I keep remembering in the back of my mind
0:20:18 > 0:20:20where the mind Marty keeps coming up.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- So, I'm going to go for Marty. - Marty Hopkirk? Well, done, Steve.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28You've liked all the questions, all four.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Daphne, which town is home to Arkwright's shop
0:20:31 > 0:20:35in the Ronnie Barker and David Jason TV sitcom Open All Hours?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I have absolutely no idea.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- I almost feel sorry for you, Daphne. - Almost? Couldn't you be completely?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Because I really don't know. Right, say it again.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Which town is home to Arkwright's shop
0:20:56 > 0:21:01in the Ronnie Barker and David Jason TV sitcom Open All Hours?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's Doncaster.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yes, it is.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You should see the Eggheads. Oh, my goodness me.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14One out of three. Well, means you've got to get this, Steve.
0:21:14 > 0:21:21Who directed the 1978 film Convoy starring Kris Kristofferson and Ernest Borgnine?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I know Rubber Duck came into it,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32but I never looked at the score as it went up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Tobe Hooper, Sam Peckinpah, Paul Schrader.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I'm going to go with my first gut instinct and go for Sam Peckinpah.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Sam Peckinpah, Convoy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's the right answer. Well, done.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Thank you.- Well picked out. Just looking at that I was
0:21:47 > 0:21:49a bit surprised. It's a bit of a bubble gum film.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The man who directed Straw Dogs and all that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56And The Wild Bunch. Well played there, Steve, picking that one out.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Tricky one, the Eggheads agree. You got it, so we go to sudden death.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01And Daphne's question.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Which actor appeared in the films Mean Streets,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Sister Act and Pulp Fiction?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Steve Bus-cemi?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- Something, yeah.- Yeah. I mean, if it was him, I would accept that,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22because you got the letters in there and the pronunciation
0:22:22 > 0:22:25may be different. How... It's Buscemi, isn't it?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Steve Buscemi. But it's incorrect. It is, other Eggheads?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Harvey Keitel.- Harvey Keitel. - Oh, well.- Harvey Keitel.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Steve, the plan is going to work if you get the right answer here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's going to have turned out to be a very good decision
0:22:39 > 0:22:43if you get this. Which former member of the Monty Python team
0:22:43 > 0:22:47made a 2002 TV documentary about his trek across the Sahara desert?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm going to go for Michael Palin.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's the right answer. Yes, Michael Palin.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Steve, you're in the final round. Would you please rejoin your teams?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03It's what we've been playing towards. It's the final round, General Knowledge.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04But I'm afraid those of you
0:23:04 > 0:23:07who lost your head to heads can't take part in this round.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12So, Nicola, Arleen and Mike from Four Teachers and an Engineer
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio please?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, Steve and Dave, you're playing to win Four Teachers
0:23:19 > 0:23:25and an Engineer £2,000. CJ, Chris, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:23:25 > 0:23:29the Eggheads' reputation. I'll ask each team three questions
0:23:29 > 0:23:34in turn and this time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Steve and Dave, first or second? - We'll go second.- We'd like to go second, please, Dermot.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Right, Eggheads, first question to you then.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47In America, button is the name given to what decorative item?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Everyone happy with badge?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- We are.- They use it in electioneering.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- We think that's a badge, Dermot. - It's the right answer.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Well, done, Eggheads. Badge. OK, Steve and Dave,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03what British venue was the world's first
0:24:03 > 0:24:07purpose-built motor racing circuit, when it was opened in 1907?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Santa Pod is banger racing. It's Brooklands.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It's an oval circuit, banked.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- It's Brooklands.- You sure?- It's Brooklands.- Brooklands?- Brooklands.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The man on my left is pretty assured that it's Brooklands.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Brooklands. OK.- So, we'll, we'll, we'll defer to his knowledge.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Brooklands is correct.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Well, done.- OK, right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34One each. Eggheads, second question.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Magnox was an early type of what kind of power station?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Magnox was an early type of what kind of power station?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We think that was a nuclear power station.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Yeah, it's the right answer.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Magnox, correct.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Second question to you, Steve and Dave. On Scott's ill-fated Antarctic
0:24:56 > 0:25:00expedition of 1910 to 1912, what was Captain Lawrence Oates
0:25:00 > 0:25:03chiefly tasked with looking after?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- You got me on this one.- I don't know but we'll have to try and...
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I mean, Oates was the last one out of the tent, wasn't he?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yeah. But they took ponies...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Took ponies and shot them.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- For food.- What do you think?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I don't think food supplies would be down to one man. So, I think ponies.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Go for ponies, shall we? - Yeah, I think so.- Yeah?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yeah. Ponies.- We're going to go ponies, Dermot.- Captain Oates.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's the right answer.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Yes, well done, ponies.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Worked it out...and just explain to the audience...Captain Oates
0:25:41 > 0:25:45became famous for his enormous sacrifice on that expedition.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- His popping out. Went out the tent, didn't he?- I might be some time. - I might be some time.- Yeah, yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Would've been a good excuse to look after the ponies. - I think they'd died by then.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56If they were still alive, yeah.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well, third question each. Both teams quizzing well.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Eggheads, what is the name of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's ship,
0:26:03 > 0:26:09launched in 1843, that was the first to have an iron hull and screw propeller?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17What's the name of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's ship, launched in 1843,
0:26:17 > 0:26:22that was first to have an iron hull and screw propeller?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26We are all agreed, that it's the SS Great Britain.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28The SS Great Britain.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It's the right answer, Eggheads. The SS Great Britain.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Have you been to see her, Chris?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- I have.- They have restored her very well.- Yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Well, consider the state she was in in '70, yeah.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42She had been a wool and coal store in the Falklands.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45And she got damaged
0:26:45 > 0:26:48and got quite a nasty split right down her hull.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52They beached her in Sparrow Cove and she was going to be left there to rot.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Then somebody thought, "Let's get her back to the UK.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58"Can't let this just rust away."
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I'm sure you would have got that, Dave, as well.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06The engineer there. This is where you have to dig in. You have to get this to take us into sudden death.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11What is the real name of the satirical cartoonist known as Trog?
0:27:15 > 0:27:19What is the real name of the satirical cartoonist known as Trog?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20What do you reckon, Dave?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You're going to tell me you don't know, aren't you?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm telling you I don't, just milking it. I don't know.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31I'm not up on cartoonists, I'm afraid.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Alex Graham. I don't know. It's just a name that I've heard
0:27:35 > 0:27:37and it's jumping out at me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, Alex Graham. We'll try that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44An educated guess as I think it's got to be in this particular case.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Fingers crossed and toes crossed and everything else... It's Alex Graham.
0:27:48 > 0:27:55In contortions, waiting for the answer. Alex Graham known as Trog?
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- It's the not the right answer.- Oh, well.- The answer is Wally Fawkes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, that final round,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Dave and Steve, was really just about which order you went in.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Thanks very much for playing Eggheads. It's been a pleasure.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Thanks for being such game competitors.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they still reign supreme.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25You won't be going home with the £2,000, which means the money
0:28:25 > 0:28:28rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
