'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
'They make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
'The question is, can they be beaten?' | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
They are, of course, the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Challenging our champions today... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Apart from their ex-colleague Martyn | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
they all for a company in London's Regent Street - let's meet them. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:50 | |
I'm Steve. I'm 27 and I'm a sales team leader. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
I'm Andrew, 42 years old and I'm a publishing broker. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
I'm Benjy. I'm 22 and I'm a sales broker. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm Martyn. I'm 28 and I'm a sales supervisor. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
My name's Owen. I'm 38 and I'm a sales manager. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Welcome to you, Regents. Martin, you're an ex-colleague. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-Yes. -All in sales. Who's the best salesman amongst you? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
Ben's the most modest(!) | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
I'd have to say Owen. He's the manager with the most experience. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
How's your quizzing been? Steven, you've organised the team. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
We've had a few practices at work. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
In sales, everyone thinks they're the best, so it's a chance to prove it. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
Benjy thinks he's the best! | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
We don't have a sales category, but plenty of others. Best of luck. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
The Eggheads have won the last six games. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
The first head-to-head battle. The subject is geography. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
Who'd like to play this? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-Benjy. -Benjy. -Straight in to prove it, Benjy. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-You didn't say you were the best quizzer. -No. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Who would you like to play? -I would like to play Judith, please. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
Let's have Benjy and Millionaire winner Judith into the question room | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
so there's no conferring. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-Benjy, would you like to go first or second? -I will go second, please. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
Judith to kick off, which European country | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
is divided into the predominantly Dutch dialect-speaking north | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
and the predominantly French-dialect speaking south? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
That's the Flemings and the Walloons, isn't it? Belgium. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Belgium is the right answer. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Benjy, your first question. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Between 1974 and 1997, Rutland was part of which English county? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:11 | |
Hm. Right, counties not my best, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
as I'm sure that London's a county. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
I'm going to have to go with Cambridgeshire. Yeah. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
Cambridgeshire, you like. '74 and '97, Rutland was abolished. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
Amalgamated with... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Leicestershire. Nothing for you. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
It means Judith has a chance | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
to take a 2-0 lead with this one - what is the capital of the US state of North Dakota? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:49 | |
You need CJ for this kind of thing. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I have a feeling it's Bismarck. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. It's correct. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
So, 2-0. Benjy you need this. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
A moor and tor landscape is usually associated with what type of rock? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:11 | |
I'm assuming "moor" like the... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
I don't know whether... Sussex Downs and moors. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
Chalk is in Brighton. It makes me think that could be a moor. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:27 | |
Granite is very hard, obviously. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Um... It's going to be a guess again, I suppose. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Chalk... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
-Is that your answer? -It is, indeed my answer. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Not chalk. No. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
It is, Eggheads...? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
ALL: Granite. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
A moor and tor landscape associated with granite. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
2-0 to Judith. We don't get to put another question to either of you. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
Benjy, you won't be playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:04 | |
Bad luck, Benjy. Still there for moral support. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
Regents, you've lost one brain from the final round. Eggheads haven't lost any yet. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
Let's play our second round, music. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
This might suit a few of you. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-Who'd like to play? Can't be Benjy. -Andrew? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-I think we should go for you. -Looking very eager, Andrew. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
You didn't look around at your team mates. who would you like to play? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
Not Judith, but any of the other Eggheads. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
She is wearing the same colour shirt and looking radiant as ever. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
-I'm going to have to go for Daphne. -Some kind of duet! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-DAPHNE LAUGHS -I can imagine. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Andrew and Daphne duetting in the question room. The subject's music. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
-Andrew, I know why you were so keen. You're a talented musician. -I try. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
Aren't you a concert grade pianist? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-Yes. That's right. -Where have you played? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Well, I've played at the Royal Festival Hall. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
I've been playing since I was three. I went to the Royal College as well. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
A real prodigy. Played with the Barnet Symphony Orchestra? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-Yeah. Played Rach 2 with them when I was 17, 18. -Andrew, best of luck. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |
-Thank you. -First or second? Which set of questions do you want? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
Um... I'll try going first. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Your question then, Andrew. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
The musical Never Forget is based on the songs of which boy band? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
Well, um... I think 'N Sync had Justin Timberlake, didn't they? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
I think... I don't recall there being a musical on his life. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
Boyzone is all ballads. I'd rather forget their music. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
Um... I think it's likely to be Take That. Yup. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:07 | |
-Never Forget. -Take That. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
It's correct. Well done. Good solid start. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Susanna Hoffs became famous as the lead singer of which girl group? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Chris so wishes he was facing this(!) | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Well, it's not TLC but I don't know which of the others it is. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:33 | |
Um... Oh, dear. 50-50. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
Always get it wrong, don't I? So... | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Oh...! | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-The Bangles. -The Bangles. -Sorry. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
Chris, you're keen on Bananarama. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-You know all their names. -No. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-Apart from Siobhan Fahey. -He knows. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
No. It is The Bangles. All cheering along here, the Eggheads. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
Andrew, second question for you. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Good luck with this one. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Who had a 1996 UK hit with the dance anthem Born Slippy? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
Right, I... Dance? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
It's not my biggest... area of expertise. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:21 | |
ANDREW: '96? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
I think it might be a bit early for Chemical Brothers. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
So it may be one of the other two. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
I'll...try Orbital. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
It's the other one. It's Underworld. Born Slippy. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
In '96. Daphne, this is yours. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
In which Verdi opera does the famous Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves appear? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
Now, that's what I call music. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Nabucco. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
All the Eggheads grinning. It's the right answer. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
You've got to get this, Andrew. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
Suzanne and Bird On A Wire are songs by which singer songwriter? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
Well, this sounds very folky. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
Don't know Pete Seeger's songs. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
I know one or two Joni Mitchell songs. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
I don't know. I'll have to go for Leonard Cohen. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Not too sure about this one, either. Can't afford to get it wrong. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
You haven't. It's correct, Andrew. Susanne and Bird On A Wire. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
Got to hope Daphne doesn't get this. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Californication was a hit album released in 1999 by which rock band? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:52 | |
Foo Fighters. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Foo Fighters. Californication. Chris? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
-Red Hot Chili Peppers. -It's the Red Hot Chili Peppers. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
So, we go to sudden death and remove the choices. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
This is your question, Andrew. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
What is the title of the hymn that features the line All Creatures Great And Small? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:24 | |
Being a church organist, I'd be ashamed if I got this wrong! All Things Bright And Beautiful. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:31 | |
Great the way that felt for you. It's the right answer! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
Daphne, your question | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
to stay in the game. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Whitney Houston's hits I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
appeared on the soundtrack of which 1992 film? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-The Bodyguard. -A steely glare again. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
The Bodyguard, I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Starring Kevin Costner, wasn't it? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
KEVIN: And Whitney Houston. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
Andrew, another question for you. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
The album Blue Train released in 1957 is by which jazz musician? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:15 | |
-How's your jazz, Andrew? -Er... Shaky! | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
Blue Train, released in 1957. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-If it's '57... It's jazz. -I need an answer. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
It's going to be one of the greats. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Somebody like Charlie Parker, Johnny Coltrane. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
ANDREW: Um... The Duke. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-Blue Train. Train, train, train. -Blue Train. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
This is so difficult. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
The only...people I think may stick that in the title might be the Duke, Duke Ellington, or Johnny Coltrane. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:51 | |
I'll go for Johnny Coltrane. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
You got it! Well done, Andrew. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Well worked out. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
John Coltrane. Blue Train. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Well done, Andrew. That is a tough question. By gum, you worked hard. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:08 | |
Let's see if it's enough to win the round. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
Daphne, which band had UK top 40 hit singles with Everyday People and Family Affair? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:19 | |
No idea. I pass. Not a clue. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-Congratulations, Andrew. -You are laying down the sword? | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
I really don't know. Bands? There's hundreds of them. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
I'm taking that pass. I know what you Eggheads are like. Probably have a guess and get it. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:38 | |
Congratulations, Andrew. You're through to the next round. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
Everyday People and Family Affair? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-Sly And The Family Stone. -From Chris! | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Sly And The Family Stone. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Daphne didn't hazard a guess. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Andrew worked incredibly hard to give me John Coltrane, the writer and performer of Blue Train. | 0:12:54 | 0:13:00 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
That stunning performance has levelled it up, I'm glad to say. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
One Egghead missing and one of the Regents so far. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Let's play another round. Getting very exciting. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
Who'd like to play this? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Steve, Martyn or Owen? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
MARTYN: I wouldn't mind, but you're the captain, it's up to you. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:27 | |
We'll go with what we said, then. We'll play Martyn. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
Martyn, who would you like to play? The women have played. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
One of the chaps - Kevin, Barry or Chris? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
We'd like to try out Barry. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-"Try out Barry." -REGENTS LAUGH | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
I know what you mean, in quiz terms. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
Let's have Martyn and Barry into the question room. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
Martyn, how do you want to play it? Go first or let Barry begin? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
I think I'll let Barry begin, please. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
This one's for you, Barry. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Which character from the TV soap Dallas was famously brought back from the dead, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:08 | |
when the events in the previous series turned out to be a dream? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
The chap who played the man from Atlantis. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-It was Bobby. -Bobby! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Yes, Bobby is the right answer. Bobby Ewing. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
Martyn, how did the central characters in the TV sitcom Steptoe And Son make their living? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:33 | |
-Steptoe And Son? -Yes. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
I used to watch this with my father when I was very small. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
I always had visions of a really old man in a sink. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
MARTYN: Which isn't nice. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
As far as I can remember, I believe they were rag and bone men. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
Rag and bone men, Steptoe And Son? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Absolutely right. Chris might do his Albert Steptoe for us. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:04 | |
I do Harold Steptoe, not Albert. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
AS HAROLD: You dirty old man! | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
What is the name of Ali G's girlfriend? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
Gosh. I watched a few of these and I never saw a girlfriend ever. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
Who's she likely to be? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
Katy sounds too English for Ali G. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
On no evidence whatsoever I'll go for Suzie. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
Ali G's girlfriend is "me Julie". | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
BARRY: Of course! Yes. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
I don't remember seeing her. He talked about her a lot. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
I think she's a character that never appears, like Mrs Mainwaring. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
The way it stuck in my mind was that cringe-making moment | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
when Richard Madeley dressed up as Ali G and referred to "me Judy". | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
Nothing there for Barry. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Chance for Martyn. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
In which film did Julia Roberts play a character called Vivian Ward? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
I think my better half would be better to answer this question. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:26 | |
MARTYN: Vivian Ward? The name does definitely ring a bell. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:32 | |
Something's making me think Pretty Woman. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
Perhaps she was nicknamed Viv. I'm going with Pretty Woman. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
Vivian Ward. Julia Roberts. Um... | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
-Oh, no. -Barry's got one wrong. A real chance to capitalise. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
You have! Correct! Pretty Woman. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
This to save yourself, Barry. Cato Fong is a character in which series of films? | 0:16:56 | 0:17:03 | |
Definitely The Pink Panther. I won't do the accent. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Pink Panther. Yeah. Cato Fong. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
Martyn, you need to get this | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
to win the round. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
Who plays the British soldier Jody in the 1992 film The Crying Game? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:22 | |
I've not seen this film for many, many years. So this will be... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:33 | |
-At least you've seen it, Martyn. -This is an educated guess. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
I don't think Laurence Fishburne. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
I can't remember him in any movies prior to the Tina Turner, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:47 | |
What's Love Got To Do With It? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
Something is drawing me to Forest Whitaker. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
I'm going to have to take an educated guess at Forest Whitaker. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
The British soldier Jody in The Crying Game | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
is played by Forest Whitaker. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
You're through to the final round. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Three out of three. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Impeccable performance, Martyn. Please come back and join your teams. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
Another Egghead cracks. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Swung it your way now, The Regents. Eggheads have lost two brains, you've lost one. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
Our last head-to-head now. History. Two eligible players. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:33 | |
Steve or Owen, who's it to be? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
It's got to be you! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Is that OK? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
It has to be Owen. You pulling the age card? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
STEVE: Yes. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
We'll go with Owen. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
-Owen's seen a bit more of it? -That's what we're going with. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
We do go back several thousand years in the category. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
But, Owen, who would you like to play? | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
The Eggheads' two remaining are Kevin and Chris. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Kevin. He's wearing a similar... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-STEVE: We'll go with shirt colours. -It worked for Andrew! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
Let's see if it works again. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Owen and Kevin, please, into the question room to play history. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
-First or second, Owen? -First. I might as well get used to it. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
Let's hope this one settles you in. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
Owen, good luck. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
The Hansom, designed in 1834 by the architect Joseph Hansom, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:33 | |
was what type of transport? | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
Um... Doesn't ring any bells with bicycle. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
I don't know anything about steam engines. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
I have heard of a Hansom cab so I'm aiming for cab. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
I'll go for cab. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Of course. It's the right answer. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
Ho Chi Minh was President of which country between 1954 and 1969? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
It was North Vietnam, the leader for most of the Vietnam War. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
Yes, it's the right answer. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Good start for you both. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
Owen, which King was accused of smuggling a changeling in a warming pan into his wife's chambers | 0:20:18 | 0:20:25 | |
in the desire to produce a male heir? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
This is purely down to the fact that he was struggling to have an heir, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
-I'd say it's Henry VIII. -A changeling and warming pan! | 0:20:38 | 0:20:45 | |
It's not Henry VIII. Eggheads? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
ALL: James II. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Nothing for you, Owen. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Who denounced Stalin as a brutal despot | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
in "the secret speech" in the 20th congress of the Communist Party? | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
It didn't stay secret for long. It became a big news story. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
Krushchev, 1956. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
Thanks for the date, Kevin. That's the right answer. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
You've got to get this, Owen. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Which President of the United States signed the 1812 Declaration of War against Great Britain | 0:21:17 | 0:21:24 | |
because of violations of US maritime rights during the Napoleonic Wars? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
This really... I have to really pick one out of the hat. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
I'm being pushed towards James Buchanan but I don't know why. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
I'm going to go for my gut feeling. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
The President who signed that declaration was James... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
Madison. James Madison, Owen. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Kevin's 100 percent record | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
stays intact. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
This is evenly balanced, what we've been playing towards - the final round. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:11 | |
Those of you who lost those head-to-heads won't take part, so Benjy and Owen, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:20 | |
and Daphne and Barry, would you all leave the studio, please? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
Steve, Andrew and Martyn, you're playing to win the Regents £7,000. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
Chris, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:37 | |
I'll ask each team three questions in turn, this time, all general knowledge. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:44 | |
And, of course, big difference, you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Regents, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:54 | |
Will you go first or second? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
-You're the team leader. -We'll go second. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Here we go, Eggheads. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
Rincewind is a character in a series of books by which writer? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
Rincewind is a character in a series of books by which writer? | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
-Let's have a spelling. -R-I-N-C-E-W-I-N-D | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
-Pratchett. -Are you fairly sure? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Yes, Terry Pratchett. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
-Bit of discussion. -But it's Terry Pratchett. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
Your two colleagues behind you rather relieved. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
It is the correct answer. Rincewind. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Good luck, guys. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
The Venus Rosewater Dish is awarded to the ladies' singles champion of which tennis tournament? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:50 | |
The Venus Rosewater Dish... | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
We're all agreed so we'll go Wimbledon. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
So eager I didn't get to read it twice! | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
You are correct. One each. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
Eggheads, second question. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
In the 1980s television advertisement for the Yellow Pages, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
the fictional author JR Hartley was looking for his book on which sport? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
In the 1980s TV advertisement for the Yellow Pages, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
the fictional author JR Hartley was looking for his book on which sport? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
"I wonder if you have a copy of Fly Fishing..." | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
It's fly fishing. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
They ask for his name and it's JR Hartley. It's the right answer. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
Some publisher did bring out a book called Fly Fishing by JR Hartley. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
Regents, in which decade did the Thames Barrier become operational? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
In which decade did the Thames Barrier become operational? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
No, it can't be the '80s. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
-Don't rule it out. -"Operational". | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
I know it was being built during the '70s but if you think the '80s. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:14 | |
I'm tempted to go towards that. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
We're all tempted but we're not 100 percent sure. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
-The '80s. -OK, I heard that you think construction started in the '70s. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:27 | |
-Believe so, yeah. -The question was clear, "become operational". | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
You've got it. Well done. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
Two each. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
Important questions coming up. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Which philosopher argued that unenlightened humans were like people in a cave | 0:25:38 | 0:25:44 | |
who assumed that the shadows on the wall were real? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
-Definitely Plato. -Certainly not Machiavelli. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:56 | |
It's called the Analogy of the Cave. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-Definitely Plato. -Not Heidegger? -No. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
It's Plato. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Plato is correct. Yes, shadows on the cave wall. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
Regents, you put them in first. They haven't done what you hoped for. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
This takes us to sudden death, if, of course, you get it. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Which Hollywood star was pelted with flour thrown by protesting feminists | 0:26:20 | 0:26:26 | |
when he hosted the 1970 Miss World competition? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
Which Hollywood star was pelted with flour thrown by protesting feminists | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
when he hosted the 1970 Miss World competition? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
-Who's likely not to be liked by feminists? -Jack Nicholson. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Or Charlton Heston. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Bob Hope is so loveable! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
I thought Jack or Bob, I'd rather go with Jack rather than Charlton. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:57 | |
Charlton Heston's likely to be a bigger star. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
-But would he be disliked? -Yes, he would. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-Let's go with Heston. -Are you happy, Martyn? -Yeah. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
-Andrew? -Pretty sure. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
OK, let's go for Heston. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
We'll go for Charlton Heston. Not confident at all. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
I can tell that. Charlton Heston. The 1970 Miss World competition. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
And the answer's Bob Hope. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Oh, no! | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
You have some consolation in that he wasn't really front of the list. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
He'd have been third choice. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
It does mean, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Yeah, Jack Nicholson | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
and Miss World - like putting a kid in charge of a sweetie shop! | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
Bad luck. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
Very, very close game and some great individual performances. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
Thanks very much for playing today, Regents. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £7,000. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
The money rolls over. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:14 | |
Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:19 | |
£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
