These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
attempt to beat possibly | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their quiz pedigree is well-known, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
And challenging our resident quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are the Marketors. This team are all livery men with | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
the Worshipful Company of Marketors. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
And as such are all members of trade associations in the City of London. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm June. I'm 59 and I'm a director of a fashion house. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
Hi, I'm Jane. I'm 49. I'm a portfolio worker and writer. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
Hello, I'm Kathy. I'm 61 and a company director. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
Hello, I'm Gerry. I'm 44 and I'm a marketing consultant. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm 61 and I'm a marketing consultant. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
June, welcome. How did you all meet? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
We all met through the Marketors. That's how we got together. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
And we thought what a lovely idea to come on Eggheads and join you. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:25 | |
Good luck to you. Every day there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
So, Marketors, the Eggheads have won the last two games, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
which means ?3,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
First head-to-head battle is on Geography. Who wants this? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
What do you think, girls? That's me out, I think. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
What do you think? Shall I do it? Yes. Would you do it, Jenny? Yes. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
Lovely, you're very good on the old Geography. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Who do you like the look of over here? What do you think? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
I think I'll start gently with Daphne. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Oh, Daphne! | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
OK. Jenny from the Marketors against Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Jenny, good luck. Do you want the first or second set of questions | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
First, please. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
Good luck to you. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
First question. Colombo is the largest city in which Asian country? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
Well, I don't think it's India. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
And Pakistan... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
well, it could be Pakistan. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
But I think I'm going to go for Sri Lanka. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Sri Lanka...is correct. You're off the blocks. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Phew! | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Hi, Daphne. Hello. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Which strait lies between Canada's Baffin Island and Greenland? | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
That would be the Davis Strait. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Well done, Daphne, absolutely right. Tricky question as well. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
Jenny, your question. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Goonhilly, where the first transatlantic TV transmission | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
was received in 1962, is in which English county? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Gosh, I've been there, too. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
And all the C's... | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
that doesn't make it any easier. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Cheshire, Cumbria or Cornwall. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
I'm afraid I'm going to have plump for Cornwall. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Has she got it right, Eggheads? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Oh, yes. Yes, well done. Cornwall it is. Good stuff. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Daphne, for which industry is the Staffordshire town | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
of Burton upon Trent most famous? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
That would be where they make a lot of beer, Jeremy. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
So, it's brewing. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Brewing is right. Level pegging. Third question. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
Don't worry. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Which of the Great Lakes of North America | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
has the smallest surface area, Jenny? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
I can tell you which is the largest. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
But that's not going to help, is it? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Ontario. I don't think it's that. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
I think maybe it's Huron or Erie. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
I'm going to go for Huron. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
Huron. Any one know on this side? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
It's Erie. Been round it on my motorbike. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
It's not Erie, actually. It's not Huron. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
It's Ontario. Oh, is it? Yeah. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Which you ruled out. Daphne, your chance | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
to take the round. Which geographical term | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
concerns the process by which snow and ice is lost from a glacier? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
Oh! Never heard of this. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
I'm going to guess... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
and honestly it's a real guess... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
at chelation. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Chelation, Daphne. And normally your guesses are so good. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
It's rotten, isn't it? It's not the right one. It's ablation. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
Right, OK. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
How's that, Jenny? Second chance. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Second chance, exactly. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
So we move now to Sudden Death. That bit harder. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
This is not multiple choice. Which Australian city was named | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
after the queen consort of William IV? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
I'm just running through the cities that are coming into my mind. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
And nothing marries up with the wife of William IV. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
The only name that I can think of that's a Christian name is Victoria. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Not Victoria, actually. Adelaide. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Adelaide. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Let's go to Daphne. Daphne, | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
the city of Boston is the capital of which US state? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
Boston, Massachusetts. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
You're right. And so you've taken the round, Daphne. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
You'll be in the final. Sorry, Jenny. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
You were beaten by our Egghead | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
so won't be able to support your team in the final round. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Both of you come back and join us here in the studio. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
You've lost one brain from the final round. They have lost no brains. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
Next round is Arts Books. Who wants this? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Girls, what do you think... Arts Books? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
I'm not bad at Arts Books. Do you want to do it? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
I could do Arts Books, I suppose. Do Arts Books? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
I can't see anyone else leaping forward. Want to do Arts Books? | 0:06:56 | 0:07:02 | |
Who do you fancy going against? Thank you, Jane. Shall I try Chris? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
He looks very nice and jolly. He does. I think he looks nice. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
Yeah. All right. Chris, then. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
OK. Jane against Chris on Arts Books. Please take your positions. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:18 | |
Three questions on Arts Books in turn. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
Jane, would you like the first or second set? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
I think we'll go with ladies first, please. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
Here we go. What is the first name of the youngest Bennet daughter | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
OK, this was my favourite book at school. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
I wanted to be Elizabeth Bennet. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
I didn't want to be Jane. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
She's a bit simpering. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
And I know it's not either of those because Jane was the eldest. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
Elizabeth was the second eldest. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
So, it must be Lydia. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Fantastic. I love the way you got to that. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Chris, which artistic term refers to the altered state | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
of the colour or texture of a surface due to age or usage? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
That is the agglomeration of stale varnish and dust. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
Anyway, it's patina. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Quite right. Patina's the right answer. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Back to you, Jane. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Whose painting, entitled No 5, 1948, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
is believed to have become the world's most expensive, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
when it reportedly changed hands in 2006 for $140 million? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
I was really hoping we weren't go to get a question on Art. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
I don't think it was Vincent van Gogh. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
I can't imagine it was Jackson Pollock, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
only because I can't imagine | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
anybody paying that much for Jackson Pollock. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
So I hope... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
that it's Pablo Picasso. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
Sounds right for Pablo Picasso. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
But it's Jackson Pollock. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Oh, no! | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Yup, Jackson Pollock. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Chris, you can take the lead. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Which author lived in an East Sussex country house | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
called Bateman's for more than 30 years? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Yeah, Bateman's was the country house of Rudyard Kipling, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
after he came back from India. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
You're right. Point to you. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Back to Jane. You need this now. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
In 1983 where did the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
surround 11 islands with 6.5 million square feet | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
of shiny pink propylene fabric? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
I'm afraid this is going to be a pure guess, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
with hopefully some logic thrown in. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
I'm thinking of islands now. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
And I know there are lots of islands around all those places. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
But I would have thought... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
You see, Miami sounds good | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
because it's a sort of pink propylene place. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
I don't know whether the people of Bangkok | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
would allow pink propylene. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
And Stockholm is just a bit staid, maybe. I don't know. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:58 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
I'm going to go with Miami. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
Be confident. It's right. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
Oh! Well done. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Pink propylene place. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
Chris, this for the round. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
Which author's prize-winning novels have included Sacred Country, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
Restoration and Music Silence? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
Well, I can't say I recognise the titles. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
But the most prolific prizewinner of those three is AS Byatt. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
So that'll have to be my answer. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
Eggheads? Rose Tremain. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Rose Tremain is the answer, Chris. So, level pegging. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
You've hung on in there, Jane. We go to Sudden Death. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
In William Makepeace Thackeray's novel Vanity Fair, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
George Osborne dies during which famous battle? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
I'm going to say... | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
..for no apparent reason, Waterloo. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
And you're right. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
Chris, to you. What is the first name of the title character | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
in Louis de Bernieres novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
He's Italian. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Enrico? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Your answer is Enrico? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
It was Antonio, Chris. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
So, Jane, well done. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
You've taken on one of the Eggheads. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
You've emerged triumphant. Good news for the Challengers, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
because you'll be able to join your team in the final round. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Please both of you rejoin us here in the studio. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
As it stands, the Challengers and the Eggheads have lost | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
one brain each from the final round. Next subject is Music. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
Who would like this? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
It's one of us three, isn't it? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
You're our musician, what do you think? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
If it's modern, I've no chance. Well, me neither. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Me neither. What do you think? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
I'll do it. Yup. Fancy it? Right, Kathy. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
OK. Which Egghead? Shall we try Barry? What about Barry? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
I like Barry. Yes, Barry. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
We don't know Barry's... We don't know much about Barry. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
But Barry looks jolly. Yes. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
OK. So, Kathy from the Marketors versus Barry from the Eggheads. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
OK, we're on Music now. And I know that you, Kathy, play the trombone? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
I do. Let's see if the trombone comes up here. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
Would you like the first or second set of questions? I'd like to go first, please. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Kathy, what title was shared by a UK number-one single | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
for Frankie Goes To Hollywood in 1984 | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
and a UK number-one single for Jennifer Rush in 1985? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:53 | |
Well, there was one song that I used to | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
sing to myself and say to myself... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
all the time when I was learning to ride my motorbike. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
And that was Relax. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
And I know that Frankie Goes To Hollywood sang that. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
So, that's the one I'm going to go for. Relax. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
They did, but they also sang the other two. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
And the correct answer was The Power Of Love. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
OK. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
Sorry. Barry, Fran Healy is lead vocalist with which Scottish band? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
Gosh. I've heard the name. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
For some reason I think it's Travis. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
But I'm not sure on this one. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Travis is correct. Well, done. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
OK, Kathy, make up some ground now if you can. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
In which role did the Spanish-born classical artist | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
Victoria de los Angeles achieve fame? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
Erm, I don't know a lot of female conductors. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
So, I'm going to rule that one out. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I'm going to go with cello player. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
She was actually an opera singer, in fact. Unlucky. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
Barry, who founded the Memphis-based Sun Records | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
and nurtured the careers of Elvis Presley, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis? | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
He probably had one of the best ears for talent | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
of anybody who's ever been involved in the music industry. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
It was Sam Phillips. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Sam Phillips is absolutely right. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
So, you have two. Which means there is no way back | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
for you, Kathy, in this round, I'm afraid. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
So, Barry will be in the final. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Kathy, you were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Do please rejoin us in the studio. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
So, Challengers have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Eggheads have lost one. And the last subject is Sport. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
Sorry. Can we have another subject? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Do we have to have that one? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
It's the last one we wanted. Well, what do you think? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
It's you or me. That's my one. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Do you want to stay in for...? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
Yeah, OK. I'll, I'll, I'll have a go. I'll have a go. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
It's really not my subject. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
I'll do it. Gerry, OK. Which Egghead? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
CJ or Kevin? Gosh. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
CJ or Kevin. What do you think? Shall we go with CJ? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
He's wearing the same colour. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
That's why you should be with him. That's a good idea. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Our children will be beautiful. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Very pink. OK. Gerry from the Marketors | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
versus CJ from the Eggheads to the Question Room, please. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:57 | |
Gerry, three questions. And you can choose the first or second set. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
I'll go for the first please, Jeremy. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
OK, good luck. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
In which sport did the New Orleans Saints defeat the San Diego Chargers | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
37-32 at Wembley in 2008? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
OK. This really isn't my subject. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
Let me think. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Sounds a bit more like American football. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
However, ice hockey's very, very popular as well. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:42 | |
Basketball. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
New Orleans Saints. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
I'm going to go with basketball. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
I'm afraid that's wrong. It was American football at Wembley. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
CJ, your chance for the advantage. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
What is the nickname of the British boxer David Haye? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
Well, there's a boxing punch called the haymaker. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
So, let's assume that's been applied to him. The Hayemaker. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
CJ, you're right. Hayemaker it is. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
Back to you, Gerry. The professional snooker player Neil Robertson | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
was born in which country? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
Neil Robertson. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Could be any one of the three. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
I'm going to go with Australia. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Is she right, Eggheads? Yup. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Yes, you are. Australia. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
OK, CJ, what name is given to the home ground | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
of the rugby league team, The Castleford Tigers? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
I've heard of The Jungle as a ground. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
And I don't think it's in football. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
So, let's go for The Jungle. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
Your answer is The Jungle. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
You're right. Well, done. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
OK, Gerry, your third question. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
You need this one. In the 1966 football World Cup Final, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
which of England's four goals was scored by Martin Peters? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
OK. I am not familiar with who scored any of those. So... | 0:19:35 | 0:19:42 | |
And I haven't heard his name before. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
So, I'm going to go with second. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
Because that's more obscure than first. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
The second goal is right. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
Good on you. Well, done. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
CJ, this to take the round. Which boxer was chosen to be | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Ring Magazine's fighter of the year in 2005, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:11 | |
becoming the first British-born fighter to win | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
since the title was founded in 1928? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
I've got nothing to go on apart from the fact that | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
the year before, Amir Khan won the silver medal at the Olympics. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
Let's try Amir Khan. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
That's wrong. It's Ricky Hatton. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
OK. So, Gerry, Sudden Death. A bit harder. Not multiple choice. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
Here we go. Which England fast bowler, nicknamed Typhoon, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
had a test bowling average of 18.56 | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
and liked to quote Shakespeare and Wordsworth to batsmen? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
I can't even think of a fast bowler. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Ramprakash. That's the only person I can think of. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
Ramprakash, it was not. Frank Tyson is the answer. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Oh. CJ, this for the round. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Which English city has a racecourse called The Roodee, | 0:21:20 | 0:21:26 | |
where horse racing has taken place since 1540? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
How are you spelling Roodee, please? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
R-O-O-D-E-E | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
As if that helps me, of course. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
Let's just pick a city with a racecourse. Chester. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
They're laughing because you're right. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Ha! Chester it was. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
Sorry, Gerry. You won't be in the final. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Do both of you come back to us here. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
So, this is what we've been playing towards - | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
it's time for the final round which, as always, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
is General Knowledge. Those of you who lost your head to heads | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
won't be allowed to take part. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
So, Kathy, Gerry and Jenny from the Marketors, and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please leave? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:22 | |
So, June and Jane, you're playing to win the Marketors ?3,000. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Barry, you're playing for something which money can't buy - | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
the Eggheads reputation.' | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
This time it's General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
So, Marketors, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
Oh, yes, I think so. Good. Every hope, every hope. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
First or second set of questions? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
Shall we go first? I think so. We'll go first. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
Which James Bond actor played Sam Carmichael | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
in the 2008 film Mamma Mia!? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
OK. I think it's Pierce Brosnan. What do you think? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
I saw the film and I remember he sung a bit flat. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Uh, yes. I wouldn't care if he sang flat or not. Do you like him? Yes. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
He is very attractive. Shall we... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
Shall we go for Pierce? Yes. We'll go for Pierce Brosnan. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
Brilliant. Pierce Brosnan is right. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
Point to you. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
The film is the most successful ever at the British box office, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
overtaking Titanic. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
And it's estimated that now nearly a third of all British homes | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
have a copy of the DVD. Isn't that amazing? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
I've got one. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
I saw it. I saw it when I was away. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:39 | |
So, it was a fun film. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
OK, Eggheads. Which astrological age is culturally linked | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
with an era of freedom and brotherhood, that's said to have started during the 1960s? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
I think it's dawning. The attention for the first one who sings. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
It's the Age of Aquarius, Jeremy. Quite right. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
One all. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
Over to you. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
Solanum tuberosum is the botanical name for what? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Solanum tuberosum. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Is the botanical name for what? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Could you just spell the first? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
S-O-L-A-N-U-M and then T-U-B-E-R-O-S-U-M. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
OK. A tuber is a potato, isn't it? I don't, I don't... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
Well, a tuber is a.... Potato. Bulb-type thing, isn't it? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
So, it's... I doubt it's oak, because oak comes from a nut. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
The tree and it's tree-ish. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
And daffodil... you see, tuberosum. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Although daffodil's got a bulb as well. It's got a bulb. Sol is sun. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
And daffodil is yellow. As is sun. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Potato... But I was thinking of tuberosum is the tuber of the potato. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Yes. I think we should take out oak. What do you think? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Yes. Oak should go. Oak should go. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Right. So, it's the... What was the first word again? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
Solanum, which is what's making me think daffodil. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Solanum tuberosum. Yes, OK. It's yellowy, isn't it? The sun's yellowy. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
Well, I'm going to pass the buck because you're the captain. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
OK. I'll be captain and we'll make a decision. We'll go daffodil. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
It's wrong. Potato. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Oh! Gosh, gosh. Oh, well. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Tuber, yeah. Tuber, yeah. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Sunny, sunny. Thought it was a sunny tuber. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
OK, Eggheads. Which composer's Waltz in D flat major, opus 64, No. 1 | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
is used as the signature tune for Just A Minute on Radio 4? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:47 | |
That's Chopin. The Minute Waltz. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:57 | |
Chopin is right. Well done. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
So, you need this. If you don't get it right, they've won. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
In the abbreviation ADSL, for broadband computer networking, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:10 | |
for what does the letter D stand? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:11 | |
ADSL. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
ADSL. I think... Dynamic? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:26 | |
I don't think it's dynamic. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Well, shall we take out dynamic and think about digital or data? | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
Mind you, we did that last time. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
Yeah, I know. I know. We took out the middle one. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
Well, I just don't think it is dynamic. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
So, it's got to be data or digital, I think. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Well, what shall we do? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
I don't know. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
Try data or shall we try the digital? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
One's going to be right. One's going to be wrong. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Well, you choose based on your instinct. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
My instinct would go for digital. But I could be wrong. OK. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
Let's go for digital. We're going to go for digital. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Digital is right. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Oh, gosh! | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
OK. Still, Eggheads, you can take it now if you get this one right. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
What is the subtitle of the 2008 film Hellboy II? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:20 | |
It's The Golden Army, Jeremy. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
How do you know that? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
I haven't actually seen it, but you... I've seen it and got the DVD. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
I've seen it and I enjoy Ron Perlman in it very much. He's in it. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
That's him on the cover. Ha! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
The Golden Army is your answer and it is correct. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Well, commiserations to you. It's been great having you on board. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They reign supreme over quiz land. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
So, you won't be going home with the ?3,000, I'm afraid, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
which means that money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
Who will beat you? Join us next time to see | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
?4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |

I need five minutes of your time. When I say five minutes, I'm lying. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
I've got to go and give a lecture. I've seen it. It's great. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 |
