These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the great greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today are The Quizzicals. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
The team have been quizzing against one another at the White Bull pub | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
in Oswaldtwistle near Accrington for the past 12 years, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
but have joined forces today to take on the Eggheads. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-Let's meet them. -Hi, I'm Sue. I'm 44 and I'm local government officer. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Dave, 49, retired landscape gardener. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
Hi, I'm Adam. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
I'm 45 and I'm a technology teacher. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-Hello, I'm Chris. I'm 48 and I am a warehouse operative. -Hi, I'm Clare. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
-I'm 48 and I'm an admin officer. -Well, welcome to you, Quizzicals. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
So, you put the white flag up between two rival quiz teams | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
to join together to come and take on the Eggheads. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
We have indeed, Dermot, yes. We're usually on three opposing teams. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-Ah, I see. -Yes. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
It's usually a case of all against each other | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
and Chris is actually our quizmaster, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
so there are three teams here and the quizmaster present. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
And hoping he remembers the answers | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
-to all the questions he has asked over those years. -I do hope so. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
Best of luck, Quizzicals. Let's see if you can beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
for our Challengers. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
The Eggheads have won the last four games, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
And our first head to head, first attempt to knock an Egghead out, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
is going to be on the subject of History. Who'd like to play this? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-History. -Right. OK, then. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
-That's you up, Dave. -I think it's Dave, yes. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Dave, indeed, but who are we going to take on? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-I wouldn't play Chris. -OK, so... -I wouldn't play Daphne. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-Eliminating Chris and Daphne. -I'd go for CJ, if I were you. -Yeah. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
OK. We've had a discussion, Dermot, and it's Dave against CJ, please. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
Let's have Dave and CJ into the Question Room, please. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
Dave, would you like to go first or second? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
I'd like to go first please, Dermot. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Here you go, this is your question. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
What name is given to the period in American history after the Civil War | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
when the South was occupied by Northern troops and major changes, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
especially with regard to slavery, took place? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Right, American history's not really my... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
My bag, but I think it's... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
I'm going to go for Reconstruction. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-Reconstruction. -But I'm not certain at all. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Not certain. Well, you can't be now, it's the right answer. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Reconstruction. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
CJ, Madame de Pompadour, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
who became the mistress of King Louis XV of France in 1745, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
gave her name to a type of what? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Well, I haven't... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Well, I haven't heard in relation to | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
a petticoat and a cloak, so I'll have to assume it's just the hairstyle. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Looking at you, you could probably model it! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
I can model any hairstyle. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Hairstyle is correct. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Yes, Madame de Pompadour. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
OK, one each. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Dave, what type of vehicle was the M4 General Sherman, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
created by the Americans for use in World War II? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Well, I don't think it's a tank. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
I don't think it's a bomber. I... | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
No, I'm going to change my mind, I think it's a tank. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
OK. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
It is the Sherman tank. It's the right answer. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
OK, CJ, the 1905 Bloody Sunday massacre, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
which saw over 100 peaceful demonstrators killed, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
occurred in which country? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Oh, dear, I'm not sure cos I always get these mixed up | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
because there were so many around the same time. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
But I think 1905, Bloody Sunday... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
I think it was a small demonstration in Russia - I think. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:37 | |
So, I'm going to hope that's right and I'm going to go for Russia. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Bloody Sunday in Russia is correct, CJ. St Petersburg to be precise. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
So, two each. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Dave, the American financial crisis known as Black Friday, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
which saw the price of gold drop severely | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
as a result of an attempt by financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
to corner the market, occurred in which year? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Well, I must admit I don't really know the answer to this, Dermot, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
so I'm going to have to... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
I don't think it's 1949. I've a feeling it might be a bit earlier. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
I'm going to go for 1869. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
That's a lot earlier. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
A bit would have been 1909. A lot is the right answer, though! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-1869. -Well done! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
OK, well, CJ you've got to get this. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Philip III, King of France from 1270 to 1285, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
is popularly known in English by what nickname? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Oh, no, yes, there was Charles the Bald, wasn't there, not bold? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
I was about to rule out bold and I've just realised it's Charles the Bald, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
I think. It's a guess. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-Philip the Bold. -Philip the Bold. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
CJ the Bold diving in, getting the right answer. It's correct. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Philip the Bold. OK, we go to Sudden Death, then, Dave. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
We remove the choices and this is your question. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
The so called People's Budget in 1909, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
the rejection of which by the House of Lords | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
precipitated a constitutional crisis, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
was introduced by which Chancellor of the Exchequer? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
Ah. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Now, I think... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
I'm thinking maybe Winston Churchill, but possibly too early. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
I know he was something to do with the Boer War, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
as a correspondent or something. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
I think David Lloyd George was Prime Minister during the First World War, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
so that's... He may have been Chancellor. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
I don't know. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
I think I'm going to have to try David Lloyd George, Dermot. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
David Lloyd George is correct. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
-Well done, Dave. -Yes! Well done! | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Yeah. The Chancellor before he was Prime Minister, | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
and, Eggheads, the constitutional crisis? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Was it to do with the House of Lords? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Yeah, that's when they started clipping the wings | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
of the House of Lords. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
-Yeah. -Cutting down on its powers. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
OK, CJ, that means you've got to get this. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
The conference between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
to discuss opening a second front | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
took place in November 1943 in which city? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
This is a one in four chance. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
There were two conferences in '43 and two in '45. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
We've got Yalta, Potsdam, Casablanca and Tehran, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
so the answer's one of those four cities. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
It's one of those four. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Unfortunately I don't know which way round they go, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
and even if I did it would still leave me with a fifty-fifty. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
So I'm going to have to try Casablanca. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Casablanca. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
It's Tehran. Tehran, November '43, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
discussing the arrangements for D-Day. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Which means you've won, Dave! | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
You're through to the final round. Well played! | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
Very steady quizzing there. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
So, a flying start for The Quizzicals. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
One Egghead gone, that Egghead being CJ. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Our next round today is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this one? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Right. -Arts & Books. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Our weak subject. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
We've got a sacrificial lamb for this - my darling wife. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-It'll have to be Clare. -Come on, sweetheart, you can do it! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-I think we need to choose Clare for Arts & Books. -Looks like it's me. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Who are you going to go up against, Clare? I think we'll go with Judith. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-Judith. -The battle of the ladies please, Dermot. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Let's have Clare and Judith into the Question Room, then. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Clare, now, do you want to give it a go by starting | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-or letting Judith begin? -I'll go first, please. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Good luck, Clare. Here's your question. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
A lithograph is a form of what? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
A lithograph is a form of what? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
It's not a sculpture | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
and I've certainly not heard of lithographs for stained glass, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
so I would say it's some form of print. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
A form of print, yes, it is. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
Good start. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Judith, from 1941 to 1943, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
which writer supervised BBC wartime broadcasts to India? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
Well, it definitely wasn't John Betjeman | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
because he was sent to Ireland in the war. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
George Orwell had connections with the East, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
so I think it's probably George Orwell. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
OK, George Orwell. You're right. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
Well done, Judith. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
It's one each, all square. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Second question, Clare. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Roots, Chicken Soup With Barley and I'm Talking About Jerusalem, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
are plays from the late 1950s | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
and early 1960s by which kitchen sink dramatist? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
I must admit, I hadn't heard of them. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
So, the only name that is sort of standing out at me is John Osborne. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
OK, going for John Osborne. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
A writer of Roots, Chicken Soup With Barley | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
and I'm Talking About Jerusalem. No, he wasn't. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
No, it's not that one. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-Do you know, Judith, of the other two? -Is it Arnold Wesker? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Yes, Wesker, if you'd had it. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Wesker. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Let's see how Judith does with her second question. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
The painter Sir Edward Burne-Jones | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
is most associated with which could of artists? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
He is a Pre-Raphaelite. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
Pre-Raphaelite is correct, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
so you have the lead and Clare must get the correct answer here. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Clare, what was the title of Tracey Emin's 2005 autobiography? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:53 | |
Just going off the names there, the titles, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
she is rather strange, so maybe it's Strangeland. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-Yes, it's the right answer. Well done. -Well done, Clare! | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-She is strange. -Sorry. -That's what she's gone for. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Well, no, she obviously admits it herself with that title. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
It's her autobiography, she must have chosen it. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
Judith, though, does win the round if she gets this. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
The Rambler magazine, which was published on Tuesdays and Saturdays, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
from 1750 to 1752 was edited by which literary figure? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
It didn't last very long, did it? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Well, Samuel Johnson went on these long kind of walks with, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
or journeys anyhow, with Boswell, didn't he, in Scotland and so on? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:50 | |
I think it might be him. Samuel Johnson. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
Well, the answer is The Rambler, is Samuel Johnson, yeah. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
It means, Judith, you've won through to the final round, | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
evened it up for the Eggheads. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
It means no place for you, Clare. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Well, a very tight game so far. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Both teams have now lost one brain from the final round. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Our third category today, it's Geography. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-And who'd like to play this - Sue, Adam or Chris? Geography. -Right. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
I am the one that's going to take on the subject, Dermot, thank you. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
Good on you, Sue. Who are you going to play? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-I'm going to challenge Barry, if I may. -Very polite. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
He doesn't have a choice. It's the rules of the game. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
OK, let's have Sue and Barry | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
taking their positions in the Question Room, please. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Sue, do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Oh, I'd like to go first, please. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Here's your first question. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
What colour is the cross on the flag of Finland? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Right, I do get Finland and Denmark mixed up. | 0:12:54 | 0:13:00 | |
I don't think it's green. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
I think it's a blue flag with a white cross, | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
so I'm going to go for white. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-OK. It's blue. -Oh, no! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
It's the other way around. It's the white flag with the blue cross. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
Oh, dear. Right, well, let's see how Barry does. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
If you were standing on the shore of Kowloon Bay, | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
in which part of the world would you be? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
The best 33 pence I've ever spent in my life | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
was buying a ticket for the Star Ferry, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
which took me from Victoria in Hong Kong across Kowloon Bay, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
so it's in Hong Kong. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
You were pushing the boat out there - 33 pence. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
That's the most you've ever spent in one go, isn't it? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
It's the most I've spent on a ferry, probably. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
Hong Kong is correct. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
OK. Right, well, let's get you moving, Sue. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
Norman Manley International Airport | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
is one of the major international hubs on which island? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
OK, geography absolutely isn't my subject. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
I mean, I recognise all the destinations there. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:09 | |
I'll go for Jamaica. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Jamaica. Norman Manley International. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-Yep, that's where it is. -Thank goodness for that! Thank goodness. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Much better. Now, Barry, which port city | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
on the Atlantic coast of Brittany | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
has been the home of the French Naval Academy since 1830? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Well, it's unlikely to be Caen because that's inland, | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
and La Rochelle is halfway down the Bay of Biscay. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
But I believe the home to the French Naval Academy is in Brest. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
Yes, it is, Barry. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Another one to you. This is critical now for Sue. You need to get this | 0:14:42 | 0:14:48 | |
and hope that Barry doesn't get his third one correct, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
so let's do the first bit of it. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Sue, Telegraph Hill is the highest point | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
in which of Britain's National Parks? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
The New Forest, Exmoor or Dartmoor? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
OK, well, it's a good name for a highest point. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
I'm sure there will be a telegraph sitting there. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
Not familiar with those areas, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
but nevertheless, with three choices, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
-I will go for Dartmoor, Dermot, please. -OK, Dartmoor. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
Telegraph Hill is the highest point | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
-in the New Forest. -Oh, dear. -In the New Forest. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
Well, it wasn't really a subject you ideally would have played, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
but somebody had to do it and the captain, Sue, took on the role. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
It hasn't paid off for you, though. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
You won't be playing in the final round. Barry, you'll be there. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
The Eggheads edging into the lead there, then. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
The Quizzicals have now lost two brains from the final round. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
The Eggheads have lost one. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
And our last head to head before the final round is Film & Television. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-Ah! -And Adam or Chris to play. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Film & Television. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-We're playing Adam from our side. -OK. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
-The remaining Eggheads are... -We'd like Adam to take on Chris, please. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
OK, it was Chris or Daphne to choose from. You've gone for Chris. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Could I ask Adam and Chris to take their positions in the Question Room, please? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:16 | |
Right, well, Adam if you can win here it will, of course, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
be all square in the final round. A very important round, this one. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
I'd like to go first, please, Dermot. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
Best of luck, Adam. Here's your first question, then. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
In which TV game show do celebrities in silver Lycra suits | 0:16:30 | 0:16:36 | |
do their best to get through shapes | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
cut out of a large moving panel of polystyrene? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Right, well, I don't think it's Gap In The Fence. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
Chasm In The Floor sounds quite interesting, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
but I don't think it's that either. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
I'm going to go for the one in the middle, Hole In The Wall. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Hole In The Wall is the right answer. Well done. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Well done, Adam! | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
OK. Chris, a doll called Hamble regularly appeared on which | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
children's television programme? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Along with Big Ted and Little Ted, it was on Play School. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
And why I know that, don't ask me. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Because you were looking through the round window. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Yeah, the wrong window, usually. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Play School is correct. Hamble. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
OK, back to you, Adam. A second question. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
Which film director has been married to the actresses Amy Irving | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
and Kate Capshaw? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Well, I'm not going to go for Roman Polanski. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
Martin Scorsese, he's my favourite director. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
I think he might be married to his editor or something like that, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
his film editor. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
So, I'm going to go for Steven Spielberg. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Steven Spielberg... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-is the right answer. Well done. -Well done, Adam. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
OK, second question for you now, Chris. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Robin Williams won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
for his role in which film? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
He played the lead in Dead Poets Society and Good Morning, Vietnam, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
so for a supporting Oscar, it must have been Good Will Hunting. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
It's that simple if you're as alert an Egghead as Chris is, there. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
He didn't even really have to think about it. Correct answer. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
Good Will Hunting. Well done, Chris. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Adam, in which Gerry Anderson TV show did the main characters | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
belong to the World Space Patrol? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
This is a bit of a different one. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
I'm going to go for Fireball XL5. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
-Fireball XL5. -Well done, Adam! -It's the right answer. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
OK, well identified there by Adam. That was a toughie. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
That means Chris has to get this. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
Chris, who directed the 1973 film The Wicker Man? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
That's the one with...whatshisname - | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
the policeman in the Outer Hebrides and the pagan cult, isn't it? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
That was directed by, if I remember rightly, Michael Reeves. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:36 | |
-The Wicker Man was directed by Robin Hardy. -Oh! | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
Robin Hardy, so it means, well, Adam, you've done it, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
and you're in the final round. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
so Sue and Clare from The Quizzicals and CJ and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
would you leave the studio, please? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Dave, Adam and Chris, you're playing to win The Quizzicals £5,000. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
Daphne, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
The questions are all general knowledge | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
and you are allowed to confer. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
Quizzicals, the question is, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
Dave, Adam and Chris, would you like to go first or second? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
We'll stick with first, thanks, Dermot, yeah. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Quizzicals, you've decided to kick off. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Here's your first question and good luck to you. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
Which of the children of Queen Elizabeth II | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
was born on 15 August 1950? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Princess Anne was born in... Prince Charles was born in 1948, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
Prince Edward 1964, which just leaves Princess Anne. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
-Yeah. Yeah. -Agreed? -Yeah. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
-Princess Anne, Dermot. -Princess Anne. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
You know your birth dates there of the Royal Family. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
It's the right answer. Princess Anne, the Princess Royal. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
OK, Eggheads, your first question. The Polish-American industrialist | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
Helena Rubinstein, born in Krakow in 1870, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
made her name in which business? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Cosmetics, Dermot. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
Cosmetics is correct, Eggheads. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
OK. Right, Quizzicals, your second question. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
WDR and NDR | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
are two of the main regional television | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
and radio station networks in which country? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
I think it stands for Deutschland. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
If you think about it, WDR... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
I'm not sure about NDR. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
But you think of Deutsch and Deutschland. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
So... I mean, I'm not sure, but I would... | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
My guess is... My instinct would be Germany. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
We'll go for Germany, please. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
Germany. WDR and NDR | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
are in Germany. It's the right answer, yes, well done. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
OK, Eggheads, second question to you. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
The Sicilian Defence is a tactic used in which game? | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Chess. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
The Sicilian Defence is a tactic used in which game? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
I bet CJ wishes he was here, | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
but it's chess. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
It is the right answer, the Sicilian Defence. We won't get CJ back | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
to tell us all about his great victories | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
by employing the Sicilian Defence. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Quizzicals, The Livingston Awards, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
established in 1980, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
are given annually in America to people under the age of 35 | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
working in which field? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
I'm thinking along the lines of medical research with Dr Livingston, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
but I'm also thinking along the lines of journalism for Morton Stanley | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
-who went from the newspaper to meet Livingston. -To find him, yeah. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
That's the reason I would go for journalism, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
but for the same reason - medical research, he was a doctor. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
-My fancy would be... -Journalism... -My fancy would be journalism. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-..would be my guess, but it would be a guess. -I'm quite happy. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Are we going to go for a guess? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Yeah, journalism. Go for that. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-Journalism, please. -Journalism, it's the right answer, as well. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
Journalism! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Well, look at that, 3-2 to The Quizzicals, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
and if you don't get this, you know you've lost. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
For Ever, For Everyone is the motto of which organisation? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
For Ever, For Everyone is the motto of which organisation? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
I would think The National Trust because they keep buildings | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
forever for all of us. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
-Yeah. -That's their whole ethos. -Yes. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
The World Wildlife Fund. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
I mean, they're more concerned with... | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
-That would say it would be something more about animals, wouldn't it? -Yes. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
The clue might be "for everyone," | 0:24:08 | 0:24:09 | |
-which is The National Trust opens it for everyone. -Yes, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
they keep things in perpetuity for the nation and that's for everyone. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Yes. So, shall we go for... | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
We've nothing else to go on other than that. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
-What's your answer? -Our answer is The National Trust. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:26 | |
You played a team from The National Trust not long ago. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-Yes. -Yeah, workers. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
-Should have asked them their motto! -We can't... | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
-Why on Earth should we have? -Some free information. -Don't tease! | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
Then you'd have known that their motto is For Ever, For Everyone. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
It's the right answer. It's very interesting. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
It's all square after three. We go to Sudden Death | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
and remove the choices. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
And this is for The Quizzicals. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
Karaoke and Cold Lazarus | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
were the final plays written for television by which dramatist? | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Karaoke and Cold Lazarus | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
were the final plays written for television by which dramatist? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Yeah, we know that between us, Dermot. He's written quite a few. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
-I think Adam is quite a big fan of Dennis Potter, yeah? -Yeah. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Has written The Singing Detective as well, amongst others, so... | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
-Is that the answer? -We'll go for Dennis Potter. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Dennis Potter is the right answer, Quizzicals. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Yeah, back in the lead. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Eggheads, which American actress of film and theatre, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
noted for her distinctive and powerful voice, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
published her autobiography | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
entitled Who Could Ask For Anything More in 1955? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Ethel Merman was known for her distinctive and powerful voice | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
-and she immediately springs to mind. -Did she sing it? -Who could ask for... | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
-What does that come from? -I'm just trying to think. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-Mind's gone blank. -I know. I mean, when it said it, I... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-She would be the right period, wouldn't she? -She was... Yeah. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
Her nickname was something to do with her voice, wasn't it? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
She had the most distinctive and powerful voice in American cinema. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
The only answer we've got, because we don't know it is Ethel Merman. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:03 | |
You've been skating on very thin ice these last two answers, haven't you? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
-Oh, I know. -Yes. -It's the right answer. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
Ethel Merman is correct. I think you've Barry to thank for that one. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
Came up with that straightaway. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
You couldn't come up with any other candidates so had to go for that, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
and luckily for you it was the right one. OK, Quizzicals, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
the song In A World Of My Own features in which 1951 Disney film? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:29 | |
1951, I'm thinking either... | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
Around that time, it's too late for a few. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
-It's either Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella. -It doesn't... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
From Sleeping Beauty it was Once Upon A Dream - | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
that was the main song in that. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
It sounds like a song that a woman would sing, doesn't it? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Not an animal. Not like Bambi or something. That's all I'm thinking. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
Sleeping Beauty could have been in a world on her own while she's asleep. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
-Let's go for that, then. -For the want of a better answer, | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
we're going to go for Sleeping Beauty. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
In A World Of My Own - I see the logic, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
though I'm not sure how she could have sung it in her sleep. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
-It's not the right answer. Not Sleeping Beauty. -Don't tell me it's Cinderella. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
-It's not Cinderella. Eggheads, do you know? -Alice In Wonderland. -Alice in Wonderland. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
Never even thought of that. In A World Of My Own. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
That's the first incorrect answer from either team. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Will it prove to be the decisive one? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
The Eggheads have to get this if they are to win. If not, we play on. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
King George Tupou V, Oxford educated and Sandhurst trained, | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
became the head of state of which group of Pacific Islands in 2006? | 0:27:33 | 0:27:39 | |
He is the King of Tonga. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Are you sure about that? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
I'm absolutely positive. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
It is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
What a game! That game just swung there | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
in those last three questions you all faced. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
You were going so strongly and then you ran into Alice In Wonderland. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
They'd wobbled on the two previous ones. They just managed to get them - | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
Ethel Merman and The National Trust. And then - sure ground there - | 0:28:09 | 0:28:15 | |
Daphne knew it was Tonga, and you didn't get Alice In Wonderland. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
What a great game. One question in it. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
Thank you for playing Eggheads today, Quizzicals. You've been a great team, great opponents. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and still reign supreme over quizland. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000, | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
which means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
