These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Their quiz pedigree is well known. | 0:00:30 | 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 taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are Extremely Well Red. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
This team of friends and family take their name from their love | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
of football teams that play in red. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Trouble is, three of them support Liverpool, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
whilst the other two support Manchester United. Let's meet them. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello, I'm Niall. I'm 47. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm an IT contractor. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi, I'm Hugh. I'm 38 and I'm an accountant. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Austin. I'm 38 and I'm an IT project manager. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Hiya, I'm Sean. I'm 38 and I'm a teacher. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 53 and a science teacher. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
So, Niall, welcome to you and your colleagues. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
And football supporters and friends? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
That's right, yes. And identical twin brothers here? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Twin brothers, yes. Right, yes. I won't ask how you met each other. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
Long time ago. Since birth. So, how do you all get together? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Well, obviously Hugh, Austin and myself are brothers. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
And Sean was at school with Hugh and Austin. And Andy and I met in 1987 | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
when we did Krypton Factor together. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
We've kept in touch since then. We've done two quiz shows together since then. This is our third time. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
You get the chance to see football live, or not? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Not very often live, no. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
But occasionally we get across. I've been to Anfield a few times. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
We try and get over once a year. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
I wish your teams well. Thank you. Good luck in the game today. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Every day there's ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
So, Extremely Well Red, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
the challengers won the last game, proving it can be done. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
That means ?1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
And first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Who wants this? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Nobody, actually. Nobody wants this one. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
Anybody fancy this one? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
I'll give it a go, yeah? Did I hear somebody say they did history once? That was me. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
Sean, do you like this one? Fair enough. It's up to you. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
I could do it. Yeah, want to try that one? OK. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
OK. Sean is going to play History. OK, against? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
And think try Daphne? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
We'll try Daphne, then. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Daphne. Daphne. We'll try Daphne against Sean, please. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
OK. So, it is Sean against Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on History in turn. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Whoever answer the most questions correctly is the winner. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Are you ready, Sean? I'm ready. Your choice. Would you like to go first or second | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
First, please. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
Which man, born in 1869, famously gave a speech | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
in which he announced he had achieved peace for our time? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
1869. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
That would put them at 70, around the time of World War II. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
I, I don't think it was Chamberlain. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Churchill could be a good guess. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
George VI, I'm not quite sure why he would have felt that. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
Something's nagging me about Chamberlain, though. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
I'm going to go with Winston Churchill. OK. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Peace for our time was actually Neville Chamberlain. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
And it was on the occasion of... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Barry, you will know this immediately. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
It was coming back from the Munich Agreement | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
that split up Czechoslovakia | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
and gave the Sudetenland to the Germans. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
So, he waved a bit of paper and said it's all right, and it wasn't? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
That's about it, yes. 1938. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Daphne, your question. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
The Covenanter, the Matilda and the Challenger | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
were all types of which British military vehicle in Word War II? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
Well, the Challenger was a tank. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
So, I assume the other two were as well. Tank. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
Tank is correct. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Need to make up ground now, Sean. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Which ancient battle resulted in | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Constantine the Great becoming Roman Emperor? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
I haven't heard of any of them. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
But I'm going to have to make a judgement. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
On the basis that it's got a "PH" in it I'm going to go with Pharsalus. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
That's wrong I'm afraid, it's Milvian Bridge. Tough question. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Daphne, over to you. If you get this right you've taken the round. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
What name was given to the Moderate Republican Faction, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
active in the French Revolution, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
and led by Jacques Pierre Brissot | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
and Jean-Marie Roland de la Platiere? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
Well...erm... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
We have a saying. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
If you've only heard of one of them, that must be the right answer. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:07 | |
So, hopefully it's the Girondins. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
The Girondins. Is she right? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
I don't know. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
Yeah. She's right. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Daphne, well done to you. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Because with two questions gone, there's no way back for Sean. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Sean. You won't be able to join your team in the final round. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Please both of you come back to the studio. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:35 | |
Our next subject is Music. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
Which of you wants this? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
I think you should do that one, yeah? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
That's one of the easier ones. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Me, sorry? OK, Austin. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
I think Chris would be the best one for this. I suggest Chris. Happy with that? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
We'd like to see how Chris has improved his knowledge of the more recent pop culture. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
So, it's Austin from Extremely Well Red versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Three questions on Music, in turn. Austin, you can ask for the first or second set. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
I'd like to go first please, Jeremy. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Which Petula Clark song includes the lyrics, | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
"Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
"linger on the sidewalk where the neon sides are pretty, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
"how can you lose?" | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Well, the Petula Clark... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
I'm not sure of the other songs. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
But the one I definitely know, from those lyrics, would be Downtown. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
And you're right. Chris... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Chris, the singer Jesse Norman is most commonly associated with which type of music? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
Jesse Norman. She's an opera singer. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
She is indeed. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Over to you, Austin. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Allan White, Tony McCarroll and Chris Sharrock | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
are all best known for playing which instrument with the band Oasis | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Obviously I know the Gallagher brothers from that band. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
Those names don't ring a bell at all. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
So, it's just going to have to be a guess. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
I thought one of the Gallagher brothers played guitar... | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
..bass guitar, lead guitar, I'm not sure. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
I think it'll be a total guess. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Let's go for drums. Anyone know on the Eggheads side? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
I think that's right. I'd have gone for bass. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Kevin? I think, I think that's right, isn't it... drums? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Yeah, drums. Kevin confirms it's drums. Thanks, Kevin. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
In which year, Chris, is the musical Miss Saigon set? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
It's the fall of Saigon, isn't it? At the end of the Vietnam war. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
So, it's 1975. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Quite right. Two points each. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Tight round on Music. Back to you, Austin. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Which singer-songwriter famously said of his time | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
as a middle-of-the-road artist that, "Travelling there soon became a bore | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
"so I headed for the ditch... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
"A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there." | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
I'm just thinking about the words, middle of the road. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
Because, obviously, Paul Simon had a quite a successful pop... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
success with Art Garfunkel. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Tom Petty... | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
had his success with The Heartbreakers, and stuff. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
And I know Neil Young's done collaborations with other people. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
But just based on the middle-of-the-road comment, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
I'd probably go towards Neil Young. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Is right. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
Neil Young it is. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Chris, to stay in the round. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
What operatic term is given to the expressive device in which one note | 0:10:07 | 0:10:13 | |
is carried to the next by a slide, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
without any interruption of tone production? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Well, coloratura is sort of timbre of voice. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:31 | |
Sort of between mezzo and soprano, isn't it? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
A coloratura, a soprano. She's... well, it's literally coloured. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
It's, yeah, in between mezzo and soprano. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Squilo, I haven't got a clue what squilo is. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
But portamento, it's got that sense of carrying the note over. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
So, I'll say portamento. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
And portamento is quite right. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
So, three points a piece after three questions. Well done. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
And we go to Sudden Death. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Gets a bit harder. Not multiple choice now, Austin. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
John Frusciante and Anthony Kiedis are members of which American band? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Names mean absolutely nothing to me. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
So, I'm just trying to think - are they just on their own? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
Are they just a duo? I'm just trying to think which duos American groups would have. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
I've got to think about this one. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
I've no idea. I'm not even going to say a duo. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
So, I'll just say Red Hot Chilli Peppers. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
It's a complete guess. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Well, your brother thinks you're right. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
And you are. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
No way! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
Well done. Chris, to stay in it. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Which band leader, known as the 20th Century Gabriel, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
is best known for the hit song Tuxedo Junction? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
Tuxedo Junction. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
I know the song. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
The only name that's coming through is Benny Goodman. I think he played the clarinet. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
So, it wouldn't be the 20th Century Gabriel. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
The Gabriel plays a trumpet, so... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Well, the big band of that swing era was Paul White. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
But I don't think it was him, either. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
It's not Glenn Miller. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
No, it is pounding away insistently that it was Benny Goodman. So, I'll say Benny Goodman. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:35 | |
Benny Goodman is wrong. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Erskine Hawkins is the answer. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:38 | |
So, Chris, sorry you're out. And well done, Austin. You took on an Egghead. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
Emerged triumphant. Good news for our challengers. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
It means Austin will be able to join them in today's final round. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
Both of you, come back to your teams. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have also lost one. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
Our next subject is Geography. So, who wants Geography? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
I'll take that. Andy's one of our more, more travelled team members. So, he'll wants a go on Geography. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
Andy against? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
Let's try Barry, shall we? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Let's try Barry. OK. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
So, Andy from Extremely Well Red versus Barry from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
So, three questions on Geography, in turn. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Andy, you can choose first or second set. I'd like to go first, please. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
Here's your question. Exmoor National Park | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
straddles which two counties? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
I was brought up in Somerset, Central Somerset. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
And Exmoor is mainly in Devon | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
but parts of it extends into West Somerset. So, Somerset and Devon. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
Quite right. You've been there. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
You've seen it. You know. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Barry, which US city does McCarran International Airport serve? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
It's Las Vegas. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Correct. Well done. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:16 | |
OK, over to you, Andy. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Through how many African countries does the Greenwich Meridian pass? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
Two, five or ten. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
Well, Africa is... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
well, I think the Greenwich Meridian passes through | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
the western part of Africa. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Rather than sort of down through the central parts. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
So, I don't think it's ten. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
It's a case whether is passes through the small countries | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
like Togo and Mali. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
So, between two and five... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
I'm going to go for five. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
Good logic, you're right as well. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Back to you, Barry. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
Dzongkha, spelt | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
D, Z, O, N, G, K, H, A is the official language of which country? | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
Well, it's unlikely to be Macau. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
Because that's likely to be either Portuguese or Chinese. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
Brunei will probably Malaysian or something similar. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
But Dzongkha is actually the language of Bhutan. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
You're right. It is the Bhutanese language. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
OK, Andy, your third question to press the advantage. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
Franz Josef Land is an Arctic territory of which country? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
It's not a person I've heard of. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
It doesn't sound as if it's a Russian name. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Doesn't sound that Norwegian, either. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
So, between Norway and Canada... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Difficult. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
I'm going to try Norway. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
No. It's Russia. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
So, Barry, your chance. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Into which body of water does the River Niger flow? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
Well, the River Niger is in the west of Africa. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
And it flows through various African countries. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Such as Niger, possibly Mali. And it flows into the Gulf of Guinea. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
Quite right. It does. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
Well done, Barry. Andy, I'm afraid you were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
It was tight at the end. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
As a result, Andy, you can't join your team in the final round. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
Barry, you will be there in the final. Please both of you come back and rejoin us. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
So, as it stands the challengers have now lost | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
Our last subject is Sport. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
I reckon you will fancy this. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
I just... it's something about your team. From the team name, maybe | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Who wants it? It's between myself and Niall. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
I think I'll give it a go, please, Jeremy. Hugh, OK. Against Judith or Kevin? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
I think we'll just keep the logic going. Going from right to left we'll pick Judith. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
Right. Hugh from Extremely Well Red against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
Let's see how we go. Three questions on Sport in turn. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
And, Hugh, you can choose the first or second set. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
I think I will be polite and say ladies first. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Judith, how old was Lewis Hamilton | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
when he won the 2008 Formula 1 World Championship? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
I think he was... 23 came into my mind. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
So, I think it's 23. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
Before... 23 came into my mind before that came up. So, 23. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
23's right. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Hugh, your question. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
In which stadium was the Greyhound Derby held for many years, before it was switched to Wimbledon in 1985? | 0:17:53 | 0:18:01 | |
Dog racing. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
I'm trying to remember the... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
greyhound racing. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
We did have a track in Belfast one time. But that's long closed. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
And it's not one of the choices. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
Wembley is sticking out in my mind for some reason. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
I don't think it's Highbury. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
I'm going to go for Wembley, please, Jeremy. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
That's the wrong answer. The answer is White City. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
Judith, in the acronym RICE... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
R, I, C, E... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:40 | |
used by sport physiotherapists as a guide to treat sports injuries, | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
for what does the letter C stand? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
I wouldn't think it's composure. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
Because that's kind of mental. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
I have no idea what it stands for. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
What could it stand for? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
Actually, probably compression. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Compression is your answer. Let's check with the Extremely Well Reds. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:13 | |
Yes, we agree. They do unfortunately agree with you. You're right. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
Rest, Ice, Compression, Exercise? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Elevation. Elevation, yup. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Elevation. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
What is it? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Doesn't sound like it would work to me but it's obviously been | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
tried over a period of centuries. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Hugh, your question. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
In which sport might you use the techniques drifting and heel to toe? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
Well, I can't see it applying to rallying. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
Hockey, it's possible. I'm thinking of techniques here. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
So, I'm going to go for weightlifting, Jeremy. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
It is actually rallying. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
The answer is rallying. I'm afraid there's no way back here for you. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
So, Judith has won on Sport which... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
yeah, what about that? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
You've made her very happy, anyway. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
She'll be in the final round. Hugh, I'm sorry you won't. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Please both of you rejoin your teams. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
It's time for the final round which is General Knowledge. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
So, Hugh, Sean and Andy from Extremely Well Red | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Niall and Austin, you are playing to win Extremely Well Red ?1,000. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
You have the non-twin brothers here, right? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Yes. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
Daphne, Barry, Judith and Kevin, | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
you are playing for something which money can't buy - The Egghead's reputation. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
So, Extremely Well Red, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
Niall and Austin, would you like to go first or second? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
First probably, yeah? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:08 | |
We'll go first, please. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
Best of luck. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
In the original standard version of the board game Trivial Pursuit, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
what colour represents the Science and Nature category? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
From memory pink is Entertainment. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Pink is Entertainment, OK yeah. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
Is yellow History? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
Probably. Green, green, green's nature. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Sort of stands for nature, green grass. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
Yeah, sort of makes sense. Rings a bell. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
I can't remember what yellow is. I think yellow's History. Yeah. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
I thought it was green or brown before the answers came up. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
I thought it was brown, then... | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
Happy with green? I think we'll have to go for green then, yeah. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
We'll go with green. Green is right. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Green is right. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
Eggheads, the malamute is a breed of dog native to which American state? | 0:21:54 | 0:22:00 | |
Alaska. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Alaska. Yeah, it's a husky. Yes. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
It's like, it's like a husky. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
So, used in sledding and that sort of thing. So, Alaska. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
Alaska is your answer and it's correct. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
They won't be beaten that easily. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
Extremely Well Red, which American TV award consists | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
of a winged woman statuette with outstretched arms holding an atom? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
Well, Grammy's for music. So we can rule that one out. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
This is television. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Peabody I haven't actually heard of. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Not in relation to television, no. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
There's nothing else. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
Emmy certainly is a television award. Emmy is, yeah, the dominant. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
On that basis. Out of those we have to go to Emmy, I think. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
We know it's not Grammy. We're not sure what Peabody is. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
We're going to go with Emmy. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
Going with Emmy? Correct answer, well done. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Back to you, Eggheads. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
The town of Bassano in the Veneto region of Italy | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
is famous for which alcoholic drink? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
I been there and had it. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Oh, been there, drunk it, had the hangover. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
Been there, drunk it basically. Yeah, it's grappa. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
Grappa is the correct answer. Well done, Eggheads. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
Third question now. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
Ask and Embla are the first humans created by the gods | 0:23:30 | 0:23:37 | |
in which mythology? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:38 | |
Let's think about this. Norse? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
Possibly. It doesn't sound Hindu. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:48 | |
Just the, the sound of the words and spelling doesn't sound Hindu. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
Definitely not, no. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Polynesian, I think they're very similar to Hawaiian languages which. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
With a lot of vowels and stuff. And it's a very small... | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
The Hawaiian language has something like 13 letters. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
It's very small. That's right, yeah. Selection of the consonants. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
I don't think it sounds Polynesian. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
Happy with Norse? Out of those three, I'd be more comfortable with Norse. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
We're not very sure but by process of elimination we think it's Norse. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:22 | |
Well done. You're right. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
Norse is correct. I know that was a stressful one for you. It was. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
So, Eggheads. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
The former US Deputy Secretary of Defence, Paul Wolfowitz, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
was forced to resign as president of which organisation in 2007? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:40 | |
World Bank, yeah. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Yes, he had rather a torrid tenure at the World Bank. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
He did indeed. The World Bank is correct. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
OK, so we're equal at the end of the multiple choice stage. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
It gets harder now. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
We go to Sudden Death. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
I need the answer from you. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Which English word, meaning an ancestral line or breed, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
comes from the French for crane's foot, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
referring to the lines used to connect people on a family tree? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
Crane's foot. Well, foot in French is pied. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
And pedigree starts with ped. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
Could be. Any idea what the French for crane would be? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
Ped surely has a French connection with foot. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
"Digree" could be a bird. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Perhaps, yeah. Happy enough with that? | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
We're going to try pedigree. Pedigree. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Pedigree is correct. Well done. Well done. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Eggheads, this to stay in it. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Which extreme pursuit, | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
started as a business by AJ Hackett | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
at the Kawarau Bridge in New Zealand, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008? | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
Bungee jumping, yeah? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
That's bungee jumping, Jeremy. Bungee jumping is quite right. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Extremely Well Red, here we go. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Next question. Sudden Death. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
What is the name of the 109-mile trail, opened in 1969, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:17 | |
that stretches from the market town of Helmsley through the North York Moors to the coast at Filey? | 0:26:17 | 0:26:23 | |
Trying to think where they... | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
Don't know where Helmsley is! | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
I'm guessing Helmsley is in England, yeah? | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
It does narrow it down. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
Yeah. OK, the Northern Hemisphere, possibly England. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
The only thing that's coming to mind is the Pennine Way. Isn't that the name of it? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
The Pennine Way? Yes. Which I'm guessing goes through the Yorkshire Moors. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Because it's the Pennine... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
So... | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
It's as good a guess as any. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Can't think of anything else. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Certainly be in that area. For that length, 109 miles. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
It's quite a long stretch. Go with that? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
I think so, yeah, yeah. Pennine Way. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
It's not the Pennine Way. It's the Cleveland Way. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
Half a point. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
That means, Eggheads, if you get this right you've won. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
But you haven't got it right yet. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
The Great Court Run, as famously featured in the 1981 film Chariots Of Fire, | 0:27:15 | 0:27:21 | |
is an attempt to run around the court of which Cambridge college | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
in the time it takes for the clock to strike 12? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
I think it's Trinity. Think it's Trinity. Yeah, it's Trinity. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
OK? No other candidates? | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
That's the thing that came into my head. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
It's the Cambridge college you want, Jeremy? Sorry, just to clarify. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Attempt to run round the court of which Cambridge college? | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
We think it's Trinity. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:46 | |
Trinity College is the correct answer. Well done. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Bad luck to our challengers. Have you enjoyed the day? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
Definitely, yes. Great time. Been great to have you all. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
And they reign supreme over quizland once again. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
You won't be going home with the ?1,000. Which means that the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:13 | |
Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you? | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:20 | |
?2,000 says they don't. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
