These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:160:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the great greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

You might recognise them,

0:00:300:00:32

as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.

0:00:320:00:35

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:350:00:37

And challenging our resident quiz champions today are The Quizzicals.

0:00:370:00:41

The team have been quizzing against one another at the White Bull pub

0:00:410:00:44

in Oswaldtwistle near Accrington for the past 12 years,

0:00:440:00:47

but have joined forces today to take on the Eggheads.

0:00:470:00:50

-Let's meet them.

-Hi, I'm Sue. I'm 44 and I'm local government officer.

0:00:500:00:56

Hi, I'm Dave, 49, retired landscape gardener.

0:00:560:01:01

Hi, I'm Adam.

0:01:010:01:03

I'm 45 and I'm a technology teacher.

0:01:030:01:06

-Hello, I'm Chris. I'm 48 and I am a warehouse operative.

-Hi, I'm Clare.

0:01:060:01:11

-I'm 48 and I'm an admin officer.

-Well, welcome to you, Quizzicals.

0:01:110:01:15

So, you put the white flag up between two rival quiz teams

0:01:150:01:18

to join together to come and take on the Eggheads.

0:01:180:01:21

We have indeed, Dermot, yes. We're usually on three opposing teams.

0:01:210:01:24

-Ah, I see.

-Yes.

0:01:240:01:26

It's usually a case of all against each other

0:01:260:01:30

and Chris is actually our quizmaster,

0:01:300:01:32

so there are three teams here and the quizmaster present.

0:01:320:01:36

And hoping he remembers the answers

0:01:360:01:37

-to all the questions he has asked over those years.

-I do hope so.

0:01:370:01:43

Best of luck, Quizzicals. Let's see if you can beat the Eggheads.

0:01:430:01:46

Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:460:01:48

for our Challengers.

0:01:480:01:49

If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:490:01:51

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:510:01:54

The Eggheads have won the last four games,

0:01:540:01:56

which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:560:02:00

And our first head to head, first attempt to knock an Egghead out,

0:02:000:02:03

is going to be on the subject of History. Who'd like to play this?

0:02:030:02:07

-History.

-Right. OK, then.

0:02:070:02:09

-That's you up, Dave.

-I think it's Dave, yes.

0:02:090:02:11

Dave, indeed, but who are we going to take on?

0:02:110:02:14

-I wouldn't play Chris.

-OK, so...

-I wouldn't play Daphne.

0:02:140:02:17

-Eliminating Chris and Daphne.

-I'd go for CJ, if I were you.

-Yeah.

0:02:170:02:21

OK. We've had a discussion, Dermot, and it's Dave against CJ, please.

0:02:210:02:26

Let's have Dave and CJ into the Question Room, please.

0:02:260:02:31

Dave, would you like to go first or second?

0:02:310:02:33

I'd like to go first please, Dermot.

0:02:330:02:35

Here you go, this is your question.

0:02:380:02:39

What name is given to the period in American history after the Civil War

0:02:390:02:43

when the South was occupied by Northern troops and major changes,

0:02:430:02:47

especially with regard to slavery, took place?

0:02:470:02:50

Right, American history's not really my...

0:02:540:02:58

My bag, but I think it's...

0:02:580:03:01

I'm going to go for Reconstruction.

0:03:010:03:04

-Reconstruction.

-But I'm not certain at all.

0:03:040:03:06

Not certain. Well, you can't be now, it's the right answer.

0:03:060:03:09

Reconstruction.

0:03:090:03:12

CJ, Madame de Pompadour,

0:03:120:03:14

who became the mistress of King Louis XV of France in 1745,

0:03:140:03:18

gave her name to a type of what?

0:03:180:03:20

Well, I haven't...

0:03:230:03:25

Well, I haven't heard in relation to

0:03:250:03:27

a petticoat and a cloak, so I'll have to assume it's just the hairstyle.

0:03:270:03:31

Looking at you, you could probably model it!

0:03:310:03:32

I can model any hairstyle.

0:03:320:03:34

Hairstyle is correct.

0:03:340:03:36

Yes, Madame de Pompadour.

0:03:360:03:38

OK, one each.

0:03:380:03:41

Dave, what type of vehicle was the M4 General Sherman,

0:03:410:03:46

created by the Americans for use in World War II?

0:03:460:03:49

Well, I don't think it's a tank.

0:03:510:03:54

I don't think it's a bomber. I...

0:03:570:04:00

No, I'm going to change my mind, I think it's a tank.

0:04:000:04:04

OK.

0:04:040:04:06

It is the Sherman tank. It's the right answer.

0:04:060:04:09

OK, CJ, the 1905 Bloody Sunday massacre,

0:04:100:04:15

which saw over 100 peaceful demonstrators killed,

0:04:150:04:18

occurred in which country?

0:04:180:04:20

Oh, dear, I'm not sure cos I always get these mixed up

0:04:220:04:25

because there were so many around the same time.

0:04:250:04:28

But I think 1905, Bloody Sunday...

0:04:280:04:30

I think it was a small demonstration in Russia - I think.

0:04:300:04:37

So, I'm going to hope that's right and I'm going to go for Russia.

0:04:370:04:41

Bloody Sunday in Russia is correct, CJ. St Petersburg to be precise.

0:04:410:04:47

So, two each.

0:04:470:04:49

Dave, the American financial crisis known as Black Friday,

0:04:490:04:54

which saw the price of gold drop severely

0:04:540:04:56

as a result of an attempt by financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk

0:04:560:05:01

to corner the market, occurred in which year?

0:05:010:05:04

Well, I must admit I don't really know the answer to this, Dermot,

0:05:100:05:13

so I'm going to have to...

0:05:130:05:15

I don't think it's 1949. I've a feeling it might be a bit earlier.

0:05:150:05:21

I'm going to go for 1869.

0:05:210:05:24

That's a lot earlier.

0:05:240:05:26

A bit would have been 1909. A lot is the right answer, though!

0:05:260:05:30

-1869.

-Well done!

0:05:300:05:32

OK, well, CJ you've got to get this.

0:05:350:05:37

Philip III, King of France from 1270 to 1285,

0:05:370:05:41

is popularly known in English by what nickname?

0:05:410:05:44

Oh, no, yes, there was Charles the Bald, wasn't there, not bold?

0:05:470:05:52

I was about to rule out bold and I've just realised it's Charles the Bald,

0:05:520:05:56

I think. It's a guess.

0:05:560:05:59

-Philip the Bold.

-Philip the Bold.

0:05:590:06:03

CJ the Bold diving in, getting the right answer. It's correct.

0:06:030:06:06

Philip the Bold. OK, we go to Sudden Death, then, Dave.

0:06:060:06:10

We remove the choices and this is your question.

0:06:100:06:14

The so called People's Budget in 1909,

0:06:140:06:17

the rejection of which by the House of Lords

0:06:170:06:19

precipitated a constitutional crisis,

0:06:190:06:21

was introduced by which Chancellor of the Exchequer?

0:06:210:06:25

Ah.

0:06:250:06:28

Now, I think...

0:06:280:06:30

I'm thinking maybe Winston Churchill, but possibly too early.

0:06:310:06:36

I know he was something to do with the Boer War,

0:06:360:06:39

as a correspondent or something.

0:06:390:06:42

I think David Lloyd George was Prime Minister during the First World War,

0:06:420:06:48

so that's... He may have been Chancellor.

0:06:480:06:50

I don't know.

0:06:500:06:52

I think I'm going to have to try David Lloyd George, Dermot.

0:06:520:06:55

David Lloyd George is correct.

0:06:550:06:56

-Well done, Dave.

-Yes! Well done!

0:06:560:06:58

Yeah. The Chancellor before he was Prime Minister,

0:06:580:07:01

and, Eggheads, the constitutional crisis?

0:07:010:07:04

Was it to do with the House of Lords?

0:07:040:07:06

Yeah, that's when they started clipping the wings

0:07:060:07:09

of the House of Lords.

0:07:090:07:10

-Yeah.

-Cutting down on its powers.

0:07:100:07:12

OK, CJ, that means you've got to get this.

0:07:120:07:15

The conference between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt

0:07:150:07:20

to discuss opening a second front

0:07:200:07:22

took place in November 1943 in which city?

0:07:220:07:25

This is a one in four chance.

0:07:250:07:28

There were two conferences in '43 and two in '45.

0:07:280:07:31

We've got Yalta, Potsdam, Casablanca and Tehran,

0:07:310:07:36

so the answer's one of those four cities.

0:07:360:07:38

It's one of those four.

0:07:410:07:43

Unfortunately I don't know which way round they go,

0:07:430:07:45

and even if I did it would still leave me with a fifty-fifty.

0:07:450:07:47

So I'm going to have to try Casablanca.

0:07:470:07:50

Casablanca.

0:07:500:07:52

It's Tehran. Tehran, November '43,

0:07:520:07:56

discussing the arrangements for D-Day.

0:07:560:07:58

Which means you've won, Dave!

0:07:580:08:00

You're through to the final round. Well played!

0:08:000:08:04

Very steady quizzing there.

0:08:040:08:06

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:08:060:08:09

So, a flying start for The Quizzicals.

0:08:090:08:11

One Egghead gone, that Egghead being CJ.

0:08:110:08:14

Our next round today is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this one?

0:08:140:08:17

-Right.

-Arts & Books.

0:08:170:08:19

Our weak subject.

0:08:190:08:21

We've got a sacrificial lamb for this - my darling wife.

0:08:210:08:23

-It'll have to be Clare.

-Come on, sweetheart, you can do it!

0:08:230:08:26

-I think we need to choose Clare for Arts & Books.

-Looks like it's me.

0:08:260:08:29

Who are you going to go up against, Clare? I think we'll go with Judith.

0:08:290:08:33

-Judith.

-The battle of the ladies please, Dermot.

0:08:330:08:35

Let's have Clare and Judith into the Question Room, then.

0:08:350:08:38

Clare, now, do you want to give it a go by starting

0:08:400:08:43

-or letting Judith begin?

-I'll go first, please.

0:08:430:08:46

Good luck, Clare. Here's your question.

0:08:480:08:50

A lithograph is a form of what?

0:08:500:08:52

A lithograph is a form of what?

0:08:570:09:00

It's not a sculpture

0:09:000:09:02

and I've certainly not heard of lithographs for stained glass,

0:09:020:09:06

so I would say it's some form of print.

0:09:060:09:09

A form of print, yes, it is.

0:09:090:09:10

Good start.

0:09:100:09:12

Judith, from 1941 to 1943,

0:09:140:09:17

which writer supervised BBC wartime broadcasts to India?

0:09:170:09:22

Well, it definitely wasn't John Betjeman

0:09:260:09:28

because he was sent to Ireland in the war.

0:09:280:09:32

George Orwell had connections with the East,

0:09:320:09:35

so I think it's probably George Orwell.

0:09:350:09:38

OK, George Orwell. You're right.

0:09:380:09:40

Well done, Judith.

0:09:400:09:41

It's one each, all square.

0:09:410:09:44

Second question, Clare.

0:09:440:09:46

Roots, Chicken Soup With Barley and I'm Talking About Jerusalem,

0:09:460:09:50

are plays from the late 1950s

0:09:500:09:52

and early 1960s by which kitchen sink dramatist?

0:09:520:09:55

I must admit, I hadn't heard of them.

0:10:000:10:03

So, the only name that is sort of standing out at me is John Osborne.

0:10:050:10:10

OK, going for John Osborne.

0:10:100:10:13

A writer of Roots, Chicken Soup With Barley

0:10:130:10:16

and I'm Talking About Jerusalem. No, he wasn't.

0:10:160:10:18

No, it's not that one.

0:10:180:10:20

-Do you know, Judith, of the other two?

-Is it Arnold Wesker?

0:10:200:10:23

Yes, Wesker, if you'd had it.

0:10:230:10:25

Wesker.

0:10:250:10:27

Let's see how Judith does with her second question.

0:10:270:10:30

The painter Sir Edward Burne-Jones

0:10:300:10:32

is most associated with which could of artists?

0:10:320:10:35

He is a Pre-Raphaelite.

0:10:400:10:42

Pre-Raphaelite is correct,

0:10:420:10:44

so you have the lead and Clare must get the correct answer here.

0:10:440:10:47

Clare, what was the title of Tracey Emin's 2005 autobiography?

0:10:470:10:53

Just going off the names there, the titles,

0:10:570:11:02

she is rather strange, so maybe it's Strangeland.

0:11:020:11:05

-Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.

-Well done, Clare!

0:11:050:11:09

-She is strange.

-Sorry.

-That's what she's gone for.

0:11:090:11:12

Well, no, she obviously admits it herself with that title.

0:11:120:11:15

It's her autobiography, she must have chosen it.

0:11:150:11:17

Judith, though, does win the round if she gets this.

0:11:170:11:22

The Rambler magazine, which was published on Tuesdays and Saturdays,

0:11:220:11:26

from 1750 to 1752 was edited by which literary figure?

0:11:260:11:32

It didn't last very long, did it?

0:11:360:11:39

Well, Samuel Johnson went on these long kind of walks with,

0:11:390:11:44

or journeys anyhow, with Boswell, didn't he, in Scotland and so on?

0:11:440:11:50

I think it might be him. Samuel Johnson.

0:11:500:11:54

Well, the answer is The Rambler, is Samuel Johnson, yeah.

0:11:540:12:00

It means, Judith, you've won through to the final round,

0:12:000:12:02

evened it up for the Eggheads.

0:12:020:12:05

It means no place for you, Clare.

0:12:050:12:07

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:12:070:12:10

Well, a very tight game so far.

0:12:100:12:13

Both teams have now lost one brain from the final round.

0:12:130:12:16

Our third category today, it's Geography.

0:12:160:12:20

-And who'd like to play this - Sue, Adam or Chris? Geography.

-Right.

0:12:200:12:24

I am the one that's going to take on the subject, Dermot, thank you.

0:12:240:12:27

Good on you, Sue. Who are you going to play?

0:12:270:12:29

-I'm going to challenge Barry, if I may.

-Very polite.

0:12:290:12:32

He doesn't have a choice. It's the rules of the game.

0:12:320:12:35

OK, let's have Sue and Barry

0:12:350:12:37

taking their positions in the Question Room, please.

0:12:370:12:40

Sue, do you want to go first or second?

0:12:400:12:43

Oh, I'd like to go first, please.

0:12:430:12:45

Here's your first question.

0:12:470:12:49

What colour is the cross on the flag of Finland?

0:12:490:12:51

Right, I do get Finland and Denmark mixed up.

0:12:540:13:00

I don't think it's green.

0:13:000:13:02

I think it's a blue flag with a white cross,

0:13:020:13:06

so I'm going to go for white.

0:13:060:13:08

-OK. It's blue.

-Oh, no!

0:13:080:13:10

It's the other way around. It's the white flag with the blue cross.

0:13:100:13:14

Oh, dear. Right, well, let's see how Barry does.

0:13:140:13:18

If you were standing on the shore of Kowloon Bay,

0:13:180:13:21

in which part of the world would you be?

0:13:210:13:23

The best 33 pence I've ever spent in my life

0:13:260:13:29

was buying a ticket for the Star Ferry,

0:13:290:13:31

which took me from Victoria in Hong Kong across Kowloon Bay,

0:13:310:13:35

so it's in Hong Kong.

0:13:350:13:37

You were pushing the boat out there - 33 pence.

0:13:370:13:39

That's the most you've ever spent in one go, isn't it?

0:13:390:13:41

It's the most I've spent on a ferry, probably.

0:13:410:13:45

Hong Kong is correct.

0:13:450:13:47

OK. Right, well, let's get you moving, Sue.

0:13:470:13:50

Norman Manley International Airport

0:13:500:13:54

is one of the major international hubs on which island?

0:13:540:13:56

OK, geography absolutely isn't my subject.

0:13:590:14:04

I mean, I recognise all the destinations there.

0:14:040:14:09

I'll go for Jamaica.

0:14:090:14:11

Jamaica. Norman Manley International.

0:14:110:14:14

-Yep, that's where it is.

-Thank goodness for that! Thank goodness.

0:14:140:14:17

Much better. Now, Barry, which port city

0:14:170:14:22

on the Atlantic coast of Brittany

0:14:220:14:24

has been the home of the French Naval Academy since 1830?

0:14:240:14:27

Well, it's unlikely to be Caen because that's inland,

0:14:310:14:34

and La Rochelle is halfway down the Bay of Biscay.

0:14:340:14:36

But I believe the home to the French Naval Academy is in Brest.

0:14:360:14:40

Yes, it is, Barry.

0:14:400:14:42

Another one to you. This is critical now for Sue. You need to get this

0:14:420:14:48

and hope that Barry doesn't get his third one correct,

0:14:480:14:52

so let's do the first bit of it.

0:14:520:14:54

Sue, Telegraph Hill is the highest point

0:14:540:14:57

in which of Britain's National Parks?

0:14:570:15:00

The New Forest, Exmoor or Dartmoor?

0:15:000:15:02

OK, well, it's a good name for a highest point.

0:15:020:15:06

I'm sure there will be a telegraph sitting there.

0:15:060:15:10

Not familiar with those areas,

0:15:100:15:14

but nevertheless, with three choices,

0:15:140:15:18

-I will go for Dartmoor, Dermot, please.

-OK, Dartmoor.

0:15:180:15:22

Telegraph Hill is the highest point

0:15:220:15:27

-in the New Forest.

-Oh, dear.

-In the New Forest.

0:15:270:15:31

Well, it wasn't really a subject you ideally would have played,

0:15:310:15:34

but somebody had to do it and the captain, Sue, took on the role.

0:15:340:15:37

It hasn't paid off for you, though.

0:15:370:15:39

You won't be playing in the final round. Barry, you'll be there.

0:15:390:15:42

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:15:420:15:45

The Eggheads edging into the lead there, then.

0:15:450:15:47

The Quizzicals have now lost two brains from the final round.

0:15:470:15:51

The Eggheads have lost one.

0:15:510:15:53

And our last head to head before the final round is Film & Television.

0:15:530:15:56

-Ah!

-And Adam or Chris to play.

0:15:560:15:58

Film & Television.

0:15:580:16:01

-We're playing Adam from our side.

-OK.

0:16:010:16:02

-The remaining Eggheads are...

-We'd like Adam to take on Chris, please.

0:16:020:16:07

OK, it was Chris or Daphne to choose from. You've gone for Chris.

0:16:070:16:10

Could I ask Adam and Chris to take their positions in the Question Room, please?

0:16:100:16:16

Right, well, Adam if you can win here it will, of course,

0:16:160:16:19

be all square in the final round. A very important round, this one.

0:16:190:16:22

Do you want to go first or second?

0:16:220:16:24

I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:16:240:16:26

Best of luck, Adam. Here's your first question, then.

0:16:280:16:30

In which TV game show do celebrities in silver Lycra suits

0:16:300:16:36

do their best to get through shapes

0:16:360:16:38

cut out of a large moving panel of polystyrene?

0:16:380:16:40

Right, well, I don't think it's Gap In The Fence.

0:16:450:16:49

Chasm In The Floor sounds quite interesting,

0:16:510:16:54

but I don't think it's that either.

0:16:540:16:56

I'm going to go for the one in the middle, Hole In The Wall.

0:16:560:16:59

Hole In The Wall is the right answer. Well done.

0:16:590:17:01

Well done, Adam!

0:17:010:17:03

OK. Chris, a doll called Hamble regularly appeared on which

0:17:040:17:09

children's television programme?

0:17:090:17:11

Along with Big Ted and Little Ted, it was on Play School.

0:17:160:17:19

And why I know that, don't ask me.

0:17:190:17:21

Because you were looking through the round window.

0:17:210:17:23

Yeah, the wrong window, usually.

0:17:230:17:27

Play School is correct. Hamble.

0:17:270:17:29

OK, back to you, Adam. A second question.

0:17:290:17:31

Which film director has been married to the actresses Amy Irving

0:17:310:17:36

and Kate Capshaw?

0:17:360:17:38

Well, I'm not going to go for Roman Polanski.

0:17:430:17:49

Martin Scorsese, he's my favourite director.

0:17:490:17:53

I think he might be married to his editor or something like that,

0:17:530:17:58

his film editor.

0:17:580:18:01

So, I'm going to go for Steven Spielberg.

0:18:010:18:03

Steven Spielberg...

0:18:030:18:06

-is the right answer. Well done.

-Well done, Adam.

0:18:060:18:09

OK, second question for you now, Chris.

0:18:090:18:12

Robin Williams won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar

0:18:120:18:15

for his role in which film?

0:18:150:18:17

He played the lead in Dead Poets Society and Good Morning, Vietnam,

0:18:220:18:27

so for a supporting Oscar, it must have been Good Will Hunting.

0:18:270:18:30

It's that simple if you're as alert an Egghead as Chris is, there.

0:18:300:18:34

He didn't even really have to think about it. Correct answer.

0:18:340:18:37

Good Will Hunting. Well done, Chris.

0:18:370:18:40

Adam, in which Gerry Anderson TV show did the main characters

0:18:400:18:45

belong to the World Space Patrol?

0:18:450:18:47

This is a bit of a different one.

0:18:510:18:55

I'm going to go for Fireball XL5.

0:18:590:19:03

-Fireball XL5.

-Well done, Adam!

-It's the right answer.

0:19:030:19:07

OK, well identified there by Adam. That was a toughie.

0:19:070:19:11

That means Chris has to get this.

0:19:110:19:14

Chris, who directed the 1973 film The Wicker Man?

0:19:140:19:18

That's the one with...whatshisname -

0:19:210:19:26

the policeman in the Outer Hebrides and the pagan cult, isn't it?

0:19:260:19:30

That was directed by, if I remember rightly, Michael Reeves.

0:19:300:19:36

-The Wicker Man was directed by Robin Hardy.

-Oh!

0:19:360:19:41

Robin Hardy, so it means, well, Adam, you've done it,

0:19:410:19:45

and you're in the final round.

0:19:450:19:47

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:19:470:19:50

This is what we've been playing towards.

0:19:510:19:53

It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:19:530:19:56

But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:19:560:19:59

won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:19:590:20:01

so Sue and Clare from The Quizzicals and CJ and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:20:010:20:06

would you leave the studio, please?

0:20:060:20:09

Dave, Adam and Chris, you're playing to win The Quizzicals £5,000.

0:20:090:20:13

Daphne, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something

0:20:130:20:16

which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:20:160:20:19

I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:20:190:20:22

The questions are all general knowledge

0:20:220:20:24

and you are allowed to confer.

0:20:240:20:26

Quizzicals, the question is,

0:20:260:20:27

are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:20:270:20:31

Dave, Adam and Chris, would you like to go first or second?

0:20:310:20:34

We'll stick with first, thanks, Dermot, yeah.

0:20:340:20:36

Quizzicals, you've decided to kick off.

0:20:390:20:41

Here's your first question and good luck to you.

0:20:410:20:43

Which of the children of Queen Elizabeth II

0:20:430:20:46

was born on 15 August 1950?

0:20:460:20:49

Princess Anne was born in... Prince Charles was born in 1948,

0:20:530:20:57

Prince Edward 1964, which just leaves Princess Anne.

0:20:570:21:01

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Agreed?

-Yeah.

0:21:010:21:03

-Princess Anne, Dermot.

-Princess Anne.

0:21:030:21:05

You know your birth dates there of the Royal Family.

0:21:050:21:09

It's the right answer. Princess Anne, the Princess Royal.

0:21:090:21:13

OK, Eggheads, your first question. The Polish-American industrialist

0:21:130:21:17

Helena Rubinstein, born in Krakow in 1870,

0:21:170:21:21

made her name in which business?

0:21:210:21:23

Cosmetics, Dermot.

0:21:270:21:30

Cosmetics is correct, Eggheads.

0:21:300:21:31

OK. Right, Quizzicals, your second question.

0:21:310:21:36

WDR and NDR

0:21:360:21:38

are two of the main regional television

0:21:380:21:40

and radio station networks in which country?

0:21:400:21:43

I think it stands for Deutschland.

0:21:460:21:49

If you think about it, WDR...

0:21:490:21:51

I'm not sure about NDR.

0:21:510:21:53

But you think of Deutsch and Deutschland.

0:21:530:21:57

So... I mean, I'm not sure, but I would...

0:21:570:21:59

My guess is... My instinct would be Germany.

0:21:590:22:03

We'll go for Germany, please.

0:22:030:22:04

Germany. WDR and NDR

0:22:040:22:07

are in Germany. It's the right answer, yes, well done.

0:22:070:22:11

OK, Eggheads, second question to you.

0:22:110:22:13

The Sicilian Defence is a tactic used in which game?

0:22:130:22:17

Chess.

0:22:190:22:20

The Sicilian Defence is a tactic used in which game?

0:22:200:22:24

I bet CJ wishes he was here,

0:22:240:22:26

but it's chess.

0:22:260:22:30

It is the right answer, the Sicilian Defence. We won't get CJ back

0:22:300:22:33

to tell us all about his great victories

0:22:330:22:35

by employing the Sicilian Defence.

0:22:350:22:37

Quizzicals, The Livingston Awards,

0:22:370:22:41

established in 1980,

0:22:410:22:43

are given annually in America to people under the age of 35

0:22:430:22:47

working in which field?

0:22:470:22:49

I'm thinking along the lines of medical research with Dr Livingston,

0:22:540:22:57

but I'm also thinking along the lines of journalism for Morton Stanley

0:22:570:23:01

-who went from the newspaper to meet Livingston.

-To find him, yeah.

0:23:010:23:04

That's the reason I would go for journalism,

0:23:040:23:08

but for the same reason - medical research, he was a doctor.

0:23:080:23:12

-My fancy would be...

-Journalism...

-My fancy would be journalism.

0:23:120:23:15

-..would be my guess, but it would be a guess.

-I'm quite happy.

0:23:150:23:18

Are we going to go for a guess?

0:23:180:23:20

Yeah, journalism. Go for that.

0:23:200:23:23

-Journalism, please.

-Journalism, it's the right answer, as well.

0:23:230:23:28

Journalism!

0:23:280:23:30

Well, look at that, 3-2 to The Quizzicals,

0:23:300:23:33

and if you don't get this, you know you've lost.

0:23:330:23:37

For Ever, For Everyone is the motto of which organisation?

0:23:370:23:42

For Ever, For Everyone is the motto of which organisation?

0:23:460:23:51

I would think The National Trust because they keep buildings

0:23:510:23:54

forever for all of us.

0:23:540:23:55

-Yeah.

-That's their whole ethos.

-Yes.

0:23:550:23:58

The World Wildlife Fund.

0:23:580:24:00

I mean, they're more concerned with...

0:24:000:24:04

-That would say it would be something more about animals, wouldn't it?

-Yes.

0:24:040:24:08

The clue might be "for everyone,"

0:24:080:24:09

-which is The National Trust opens it for everyone.

-Yes,

0:24:090:24:13

they keep things in perpetuity for the nation and that's for everyone.

0:24:130:24:16

Yes. So, shall we go for...

0:24:160:24:18

We've nothing else to go on other than that.

0:24:180:24:20

-What's your answer?

-Our answer is The National Trust.

0:24:200:24:26

You played a team from The National Trust not long ago.

0:24:260:24:28

-Yes.

-Yeah, workers.

0:24:280:24:30

-Should have asked them their motto!

-We can't...

0:24:300:24:33

-Why on Earth should we have?

-Some free information.

-Don't tease!

0:24:330:24:39

Then you'd have known that their motto is For Ever, For Everyone.

0:24:390:24:42

It's the right answer. It's very interesting.

0:24:420:24:44

It's all square after three. We go to Sudden Death

0:24:440:24:46

and remove the choices.

0:24:460:24:49

And this is for The Quizzicals.

0:24:490:24:50

Karaoke and Cold Lazarus

0:24:500:24:54

were the final plays written for television by which dramatist?

0:24:540:24:57

Karaoke and Cold Lazarus

0:24:570:25:01

were the final plays written for television by which dramatist?

0:25:010:25:04

Yeah, we know that between us, Dermot. He's written quite a few.

0:25:040:25:07

-I think Adam is quite a big fan of Dennis Potter, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:25:070:25:11

Has written The Singing Detective as well, amongst others, so...

0:25:110:25:14

-Is that the answer?

-We'll go for Dennis Potter.

0:25:140:25:17

Dennis Potter is the right answer, Quizzicals.

0:25:170:25:20

Yeah, back in the lead.

0:25:200:25:22

Eggheads, which American actress of film and theatre,

0:25:240:25:27

noted for her distinctive and powerful voice,

0:25:270:25:29

published her autobiography

0:25:290:25:32

entitled Who Could Ask For Anything More in 1955?

0:25:320:25:35

Ethel Merman was known for her distinctive and powerful voice

0:25:350:25:38

-and she immediately springs to mind.

-Did she sing it?

-Who could ask for...

0:25:380:25:43

-What does that come from?

-I'm just trying to think.

0:25:430:25:45

-Mind's gone blank.

-I know. I mean, when it said it, I...

0:25:450:25:48

-She would be the right period, wouldn't she?

-She was... Yeah.

0:25:480:25:51

Her nickname was something to do with her voice, wasn't it?

0:25:510:25:54

She had the most distinctive and powerful voice in American cinema.

0:25:540:25:57

The only answer we've got, because we don't know it is Ethel Merman.

0:25:570:26:03

You've been skating on very thin ice these last two answers, haven't you?

0:26:030:26:07

-Oh, I know.

-Yes.

-It's the right answer.

0:26:070:26:11

Ethel Merman is correct. I think you've Barry to thank for that one.

0:26:110:26:14

Came up with that straightaway.

0:26:140:26:16

You couldn't come up with any other candidates so had to go for that,

0:26:160:26:19

and luckily for you it was the right one. OK, Quizzicals,

0:26:190:26:23

the song In A World Of My Own features in which 1951 Disney film?

0:26:230:26:29

1951, I'm thinking either...

0:26:290:26:32

Around that time, it's too late for a few.

0:26:320:26:36

-It's either Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella.

-It doesn't...

0:26:360:26:39

From Sleeping Beauty it was Once Upon A Dream -

0:26:390:26:42

that was the main song in that.

0:26:420:26:44

It sounds like a song that a woman would sing, doesn't it?

0:26:440:26:47

Not an animal. Not like Bambi or something. That's all I'm thinking.

0:26:470:26:52

Sleeping Beauty could have been in a world on her own while she's asleep.

0:26:520:26:55

-Let's go for that, then.

-For the want of a better answer,

0:26:550:26:59

we're going to go for Sleeping Beauty.

0:26:590:27:01

In A World Of My Own - I see the logic,

0:27:010:27:04

though I'm not sure how she could have sung it in her sleep.

0:27:040:27:06

-It's not the right answer. Not Sleeping Beauty.

-Don't tell me it's Cinderella.

0:27:060:27:11

-It's not Cinderella. Eggheads, do you know?

-Alice In Wonderland.

-Alice in Wonderland.

0:27:110:27:16

Never even thought of that. In A World Of My Own.

0:27:160:27:18

That's the first incorrect answer from either team.

0:27:180:27:20

Will it prove to be the decisive one?

0:27:200:27:25

The Eggheads have to get this if they are to win. If not, we play on.

0:27:250:27:28

King George Tupou V, Oxford educated and Sandhurst trained,

0:27:280:27:33

became the head of state of which group of Pacific Islands in 2006?

0:27:330:27:39

He is the King of Tonga.

0:27:390:27:42

Are you sure about that?

0:27:450:27:47

I'm absolutely positive.

0:27:470:27:49

It is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:490:27:52

What a game! That game just swung there

0:27:570:28:00

in those last three questions you all faced.

0:28:000:28:02

You were going so strongly and then you ran into Alice In Wonderland.

0:28:020:28:06

They'd wobbled on the two previous ones. They just managed to get them -

0:28:060:28:09

Ethel Merman and The National Trust. And then - sure ground there -

0:28:090:28:15

Daphne knew it was Tonga, and you didn't get Alice In Wonderland.

0:28:150:28:17

What a great game. One question in it.

0:28:170:28:19

Thank you for playing Eggheads today, Quizzicals. You've been a great team, great opponents.

0:28:190:28:24

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and still reign supreme over quizland.

0:28:240:28:28

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000,

0:28:280:28:31

which means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:310:28:33

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:330:28:37

Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:370:28:41

£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
