0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won
0:00:34 > 0:00:37some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:40 > 0:00:43the Glamorgan Poppies, a team made up of members
0:00:43 > 0:00:47of various Women's Institute groups in the county of Glamorgan.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Sally.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm 68 and I'm Secretary of Culverhouse Cross WI.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Mary, I'm 69 years old and President of Coity WI.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Gwerfyl.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04I'm 69 years old and I'm a member of Merthyr Mawr WI.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Jean, I'm 65 and I'm President of Llanblethian WI.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Liz, I'm 62 and I'm the former President of Pentyrch WI.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Sally and team, welcome.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Good to see you've got the poppies on, which is fantastic.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22And Women's Institute connection?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Yes.- Have you made one of those calendars yet?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Do you know the sort I mean? - I know the sort you mean.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- It has crossed our minds. - It has crossed your mind?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Do you think they Eggheads should do one of those?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Definitely, definitely!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Great to see you. Good luck. You know that every day
0:01:40 > 0:01:43there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52So, Glamorgan Poppies, the Eggheads have won the last 10 games,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56which means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Ooh!- That would be nice to take back to Glamorgan.- It would be a boost
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- to the funds, yes. - The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I was thinking this is a good subject for you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Cultured people.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Shall I give it a go?- Will you?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Not holding out much hope.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Gwerfyl will take on music.- OK.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Gwerfyl against...?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Who do you think?- I'll say Chris.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right. Gwerfyl will take on Chris, please.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Gwerfyl from the Glamorgan Poppies against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Take your positions in the question room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So , Gwerfyl, I know you've retired. What were you doing before that?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I was teaching modern languages, mainly German and some French.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41All right, good luck in this round.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on Music in turn.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Gwerfyl, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'll go first, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Here we go, good luck.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00In a traditional music hall song,
0:03:00 > 0:03:05what phrase is usually sung after the opening chorus line of
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Let's All Go Down The Strand?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, I think that's "have a banana".
0:03:13 > 0:03:16That's good. "Have a banana" is correct. Well done.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Chris, can you give us a burst?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21# Let's all go down the Strand, have a banana... #
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That's the one. Your question, Chris.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Who had a UK hit single in 1984 with the song, Agadoo,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- featuring the lines, "Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple..." - Hold it there. Painful.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37That was Black Lace.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yes it was, you're right.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Something about this contest this afternoon,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I can tell it's going to be unusual!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47OK, Gwerfyl, back to you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Somewhere and A Boy Like That, I Have A Love
0:03:52 > 0:03:55are songs from which musical?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Well, I've seen all three, but I've got a feeling
0:04:02 > 0:04:05that it's West Side Story.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You've got a feeling, and your feeling is correct.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's West Side Story.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Well done. You're ahead of Chris. Let's see if he can come back.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Chris, which group had four of their remastered albums
0:04:17 > 0:04:21in the UK top 10 simultaneously, in 2009?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, they got back together, didn't they? So it was Take That!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You always say it with such conviction,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- but you're not always right. It was the Beatles.- Was it?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35They obviously put the whole lot back together again.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36You're wrong. This gives you
0:04:36 > 0:04:41a chance, Gwerfyl, to come through for the Glamorgan Poppies.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44What are the first names of the two members
0:04:44 > 0:04:46of the group known as the White Stripes?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Well, it's not anything I know very much about.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'm going to go for Will and Jess.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Will and Jess it is not.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Jack and Meg is the answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Chris, you need this to stay in.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11The jazz musician Oscar Peterson
0:05:11 > 0:05:14became famous for playing which instrument?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Oscar Peterson was a brilliant pianist. He played the piano.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Quite right. And you're level.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26After three questions, we move to sudden death.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Gwerfyl, it gets a little bit harder.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I don't give you alternative answers now. Here we go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37A recording of which singer's 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall won Grammys
0:05:37 > 0:05:41for Best Album and Best Solo Female Vocal Performance
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and stayed in the Billboard Chart for 95 weeks?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Was it Liza Minnelli?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51No. The album was called Judy At Carnegie Hall,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and it was Judy Garland. Bad luck.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Chris, on to you.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Get this right, you're in the final.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Which award-winning song by Johnny Mandel and Paul Francis Webster
0:06:01 > 0:06:07was the love theme for the 1965 film, The Sandpiper?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Guantanamera?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14No, it was The Shadow Of Your Smile.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Because Guantanamera was by The Sandpipers, wasn't it? Wake up, lad!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Gwerfyl, Chi Mai, the theme from the 1981 TV drama series
0:06:24 > 0:06:28The Life and Times of David Lloyd George,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31which reached number two in the UK singles chart,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34was written by which movie composer?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36John Williams?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39No, it was Ennio Morricone.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Chris, on to you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Which composer wrote the music to the hit musical, Funny Girl?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Get this right, you're in the final.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Alan J Lerner.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51No, Jules Stein.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Gwerfyl, your question on sudden death.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59What name, from the German words for "sing" and "play",
0:06:59 > 0:07:04is given to the genre of 18th century opera in the German language,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09typically containing spoken dialogue and usually comic in tone?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Well, it would be pretty awful if I got this wrong!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I think it's Singspiel.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Well done. Singspiel is correct, Sing and Play.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21You need Chris to get this one wrong.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Chris, which Prince album,
0:07:24 > 0:07:29released in 1988, features the singer naked on the cover?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Purple Rain?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34No, the answer is LoveSexy.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Well done, Gwerfyl, you've done it.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Chris crashes out. And Gwerfyl, you've taken him on,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43you've beaten him, so you will be supporting your team in the final.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Chris, you won't be. Both of you, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Well done, Gwerfyl. You did it.- Yes!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I feel worn out!- That's good.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57As it stands, the challengers
0:07:57 > 0:08:01lost no brains from the final round, but Chris has gone from the Eggheads
0:08:01 > 0:08:05so they've lost a brain. Next subject is Science. Do we have a scientist
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- on this side?- We do, we have Liz.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Liz, and who would you like to go against?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Can I take on Daphne?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What about Daphne? Daphne.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Liz from the Glamorgan Poppies against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Liz, I feel I should ask you about the yellow poppies.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Well, the yellow poppy is the symbol of Glamorgan.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And Glamorgan WI.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41We thought it would be appropriate to have that as our little symbol today.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Are there lots of them growing in Glamorgan?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- Yes, rather a lot of them, yes.- They weren't hard to find?- No, not really.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And on a separate note, you have a degree in
0:08:50 > 0:08:52biochemistry, I understand?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Yes. Rather a long time ago, I hasten to add!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00You didn't know that, Daphne, did you? OK, three questions,
0:09:00 > 0:09:06- on Science, in turn. And Liz, would you like the first or second set of questions?- I'll go first, please.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Good luck to you and the Glamorgan Poppies.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Your first question.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The term cygnet refers to the young of which creature?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well, that's the swan.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Bang on. Well done. The swan.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Daphne, how many sides does a heptagon have?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32H-E-P?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34H-E-P-T-A-G-O-N.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Seven.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Seven is correct.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Liz, over to you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Aeschylus Hippocastanum
0:09:43 > 0:09:46is the scientific name for a variety of which tree?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Um, I think that's the horse chestnut.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Horse chestnut is correct.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I've got a feeling that she's rather good, Daphne.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Your question, Daphne. What name is given to the emission of light
0:10:08 > 0:10:13and other radiation by an object after it has absorbed electrons or
0:10:13 > 0:10:16radiation of a different wavelength, especially ultraviolet light?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Fluorescence?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Fluorescence is correct.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Your third question now, Liz. If you get this right, you put
0:10:33 > 0:10:36the pressure on Daphne. She's already worried about your degree!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- She shouldn't be!- The American scientist George Washington Carver
0:10:40 > 0:10:45is particularly associated with the development of new products derived from what?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Ooh!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Don't think there's a clue in the name.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00I really haven't got a clue from his name.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I haven't heard of him, unfortunately.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I don't know. I'll have to go for one. I'll go for peanuts.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Clutching at peanuts. But you're right. Well done.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Three out of three.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21Here's your question, Daphne. If you get this wrong, you're not in the final. And I know you will mind!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25In physics, Young's Modulus, named after the scientist Thomas Young,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28is used to measure a substance's what?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I have no idea!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Barry, where are you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Magnetic field.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Daphne, you're wrong.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- I thought I was.- Barry?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Elasticity.- Elasticity, says Barry, and he's right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Well done, Liz, you've beaten an Egghead.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59two of you in a row winning now. Great stuff. Daphne, you won't be in the final.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Liz, you will. Please, come back to us here.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09The challengers have lost no brains from the final round and the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11The next subject is Geography.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Does anybody want geography?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14No?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Well, you can't... - Take one for the team?- OK, Sally. Who do you want to play against?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I think I'll take on Judith. Can I take on Judith?- You certainly can.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Sally from the Glamorgan Poppies against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Can you please both go to the question room, to ensure there's no conferring.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Sally, you've got quite a standard to keep up here.- I know. It's frightening, isn't it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And you've got an amazing CV outside the WI.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You've got an advanced driving certificate.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Tell us about the cars.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49I used to have a Mini, which was truly wonderful, best little car ever,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52and then I went to Silverstone and drove a Formula Ford.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Which was fantastic, absolutely brilliant. I was hoarse when I got out of it from screaming.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Mingled exhilaration and terror!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And they do that a lot, that kind of thing, in the WI?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06We do all sorts of things in the WI. You name it, we can do it!
0:13:06 > 0:13:07You aren't a member, are you, Judith?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12No, but I love the WI, it's become a sort of rebel organisation.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Shouting at Tony Blair and taking their clothes off, all that kind of thing.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20It's not just jam making, which is the old image.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Not just jam and Jerusalem.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Definitely. Far, far from it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK, three questions on Geography in turn
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and Sally, you can choose first or second set.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'd like to go first and get it over with.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Here we go, Sally,
0:13:36 > 0:13:37all the best to you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Orographic, convectional and frontal are three main types of what?
0:13:44 > 0:13:50Oh, crikey! I don't think they're volcanoes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It doesn't sound like rain.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I think I'll go for tides.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Tide is wrong.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59It's rain.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Frontal rain.- Sorry, girls!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Orographic, convectional and frontal -
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I thought it was the three types of WI calendar!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10THEY LAUGH
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Judith, what is the approximate length of the River Thames?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25410 is about London to Edinburgh, so I don't think it's that.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I think it's most likely to be 210.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- 210 miles is your answer?- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It's correct. Well done.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Comeback by the Eggheads, maybe, here?
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Over to you, Sally.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Conakry is the capital city of which West African country?
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Conakry. I don't think it's Ghana.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I'm going to have to guess. I think it's Guinea.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Guinea is correct.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Not an easy question.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- It wasn't, was it?- Well done.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Strangely, I've been there.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Judith, in which Scottish council area is Balmoral Castle located?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Well, it's not the Scottish Borders, it must be Aberdeenshire.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24OK, you said that with conviction. That's your answer?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Yes.- You're right.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30How did you alight on that with such certainty?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, it's not the Borders, is it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And then it's not East Ayrshire.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38And East Ayrshire must be quite near Glasgow.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So it's got to be further north in Aberdeenshire.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Very good, well done. You're there.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46So you're ahead, and that means
0:15:46 > 0:15:50you need this one, Sally, otherwise Judith has taken it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53The ski resort of Kitzbuhel
0:15:53 > 0:15:55is located in which country?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Ooh, dear, dear, dear!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05If in doubt, go straight down the middle. Switzerland.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11Now, your colleagues have collapsed in a heap!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Why is that? Have you been there? - It's Austria.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- It's Austria, Sally. - Oh, no! Sorry, girls.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20We have visual evidence, one of your team-mates has been there.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24So, sorry, you won't be following the other two into the final round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Judith, you have taken the round, you will be there in the final.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41The last subject is Food & Drink.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Who wants this?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Mary?- Mary.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- I'll try it.- Very good.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Which Egghead, Pat or Barry?
0:16:49 > 0:16:55Shall we go for Barry? Shall we? What do you think? Barry.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59So it's Mary from the Glamorgan Poppies against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Please take your positions in the question room.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- You do a bit of bell-ringing, I gather, Mary?- I do indeed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- I have a go.- Do you do it with, what, three or four other people?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Five other people, six bells, there are.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- What is the classic quiz question, Barry on bell-ringing? There must be one.- Ooh.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21The length of the rope, or the size of bell, or...
0:17:21 > 0:17:27I don't know, probably on terms like double bob or things like that, you tend to get asked occasionally.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So we are going to be doing Food & Drink. No bell-ringing!
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I will ask you each three questions on Food & Drink in turn and Mary,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'll go first, please.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Your first question.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46What type of fish has a high grade variety known as blue fin?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52It is tuna.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Said with great certainty.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And spot on. It is tuna.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Barry, over to you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05In culinary terms, with what is the name Chantilly particularly associated?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Well, if this was a music question, I would go for lace.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15But as it is a culinary question, the answer must be cream.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Cream is the correct answer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Back to you, Mary.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23The term halal is used to refer to meat
0:18:23 > 0:18:27that has been prepared according to the laws of which religion?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I think it's Judaism.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Your colleagues disagree.- Oh, dear.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Ladies?- Islam.- Islam is the answer.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Barry, back to you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Which grain is a main ingredient
0:18:46 > 0:18:48in the popular Louisiana dish, jambalaya?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Well it certainly isn't oats, and between buckwheat and rice,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01buckwheat, I think, is a much stronger type of grain than rice
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and I don't think that would go well in jambalaya, so my answer is rice.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Logic brought you to rice. It's the right answer.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well done.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Third question now, Mary, you need this one.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18The spinach-like leaves known locally as callaloo
0:19:18 > 0:19:20are used in which regional cuisine?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I don't think it's Catalan, because that's Spain.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think it could be Caribbean.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Caribbean is right, Mary. Good stuff.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Now we need Barry to get this one wrong
0:19:37 > 0:19:41and then we go to sudden death if that happens. Let's see.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Barry, on Food & Drink, here's your question.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47In French cuisine, a daube is a type of what?
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Ooh, I've read this term recently, but it hasn't stuck.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Daube? I don't think it's a stew,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I think it's either a pudding or a pastry.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Is it pudding or pastry? I can't remember.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'm torn between pudding and pastry
0:20:14 > 0:20:17and I really don't know which one it is.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Pastry.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Pastry is wrong.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- It's stew.- Oh, after all that!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Sometimes, the one that's ruled out immediately is the one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31So, we are level
0:20:31 > 0:20:34after three questions, we go now to sudden death
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and it's a bit harder. You don't get alternatives here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Are you ready, Mary?- Yes.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Which spice used extensively in Indian cuisine
0:20:42 > 0:20:45is sometimes called Indian saffron?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Could be turmeric.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Not 100%, but I think it's turmeric.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Turmeric is correct, well done.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Barry, over to you.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00If the outside of a loaf is called the crust, what term is used for the inside?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Gosh. That's another one I have heard in the way back realms of time.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12I'm not sure. The only term I can think of at the moment is the hob. We will try the hob.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- If you get this wrong, you're not in the final, Barry.- I know.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Will that hurt?- Yes.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21You're not in the final.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22It's crumb.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Crumb!- The answer is crumb.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You offer me no crumbs of comfort.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Nothing at all, no hobs of comfort for you.- No.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Mary, well done, you took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Good news for our challengers, because it means that Mary plays in the final round
0:21:37 > 0:21:41and bad luck, Barry. Please, both of you, come back and join your teams.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46This is what we've been playing towards. The final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Those of you that lost your head-to-heads can't take part
0:21:49 > 0:21:53in this round. So that is Sally from the Glamorgan Poppies,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58but it's also Barry, Chris and Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Would you please leave the studio?
0:22:01 > 0:22:07Mary, Gwerfyl, Jean and Liz, you are playing to win the Glamorgan Poppies £11,000.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Judith and Pat, you are playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17I will ask each team three questions in turn. The questions are all General Knowledge,
0:22:17 > 0:22:22and you are allowed to confer. Glamorgan Poppies, the question is, are your four brains
0:22:22 > 0:22:27better than the Eggheads' two? And would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28First, please.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Best of luck to you, ladies of the Women's Institute.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Under what name did Michael Van Wijk compete
0:22:41 > 0:22:44in the original British TV series, Gladiators?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- I've only heard of Wolf. - I've only heard of Wolf.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- I've never watched it.- I don't know.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- I think it's Wolf.- There's that tall, dark one.- You think it's Wolf?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- I don't know. - He's the only one I've heard of. Yes?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04We'll have a punt at Wolf, please.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06A punt at Wolf. Well done. You're right.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Wolf is the correct answer.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10That's brilliant.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Eggheads, which star sign is a person born on Valentine's Day?
0:23:17 > 0:23:23- Aquarius. Aquarius.- Capricorn is December and early January.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, Leo's August, because that's me.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Sagittarius is December, my father.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35So it's got to be Aquarius. Can't be Leo, can't be Sagittarius.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37OK, we're going for Aquarius, Jeremy.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Aquarius is the right answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42One point each.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Over to you, Glamorgan Poppies.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49How many pilgrims left Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620?
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Think of the size of the boat. - Exactly. Mmm.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Can't be 10.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I would opt for the 102, I must admit.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- It's more than 10, obviously.- 102?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Yes, we'll go for that. 102.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Good stuff. You're right.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18102 it was.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Whoa! You had me going there.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well done. Pressure on the Eggheads.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Hey, you could beat two Millionaires. What about that?
0:24:26 > 0:24:33- Oh, I know! It would be nice. - About what was Barack Obama speaking when he told Congress in 2009,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37"I'm not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last"?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45It must be healthcare.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I mean, the healthcare is his great crusade, isn't it?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- He did sign equal-pay legislation, but that was pretty low-key.- Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Space exploration, he's sort of left alone to some extent.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02- Healthcare is at the heart of his political...- And he got it through.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- At great political cost.- Yes.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- We'll go for healthcare?- Yep. - Healthcare, Jeremy.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Healthcare is correct.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Now, you need this one,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14because they could sneak it
0:25:14 > 0:25:16if you don't get this one.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Which Roman emperor, on hearing news of a terrible military defeat,
0:25:21 > 0:25:27is said to have cried out, "Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions"?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I've not heard of Vespasian, I'm afraid.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I've heard of Vespasian, but I don't know anything about him.
0:25:39 > 0:25:46- Do you remember that film I, Claudius?- I didn't see it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Brilliant, absolutely brilliant film.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53And I'm sure Brian Blessed played Augustus.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57And I can see him now, raging
0:25:57 > 0:26:04because something had happened, his Roman army had been defeated.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07It's probably totally wrong, but I recommend Augustus.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- That's the one I thought. - Yeah, so, if it's wrong, it's wrong.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14If you get it right, you've taken the lead. If not,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17you are in danger of defeat.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18The answer was Augustus.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Well done! - And Brian Blessed did play Augustus,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27so well done, Jean, well remembered.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Your question now, Eggheads.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32If you get this wrong, they are taking £11,000 away.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38Lucetta Templeman, also known as Lucette Le Sueur, is a character
0:26:38 > 0:26:40in which 19th-century novel?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- You know for sure.- I don't know.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Well, in Jane Eyre, there was a Frenchwoman
0:26:52 > 0:26:58who I think has a go at trying to marry Mr Rochester.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Well, I've read Great Expectations, and it doesn't ring a bell.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Erm, if you've got an idea... - I just have the sort of
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- memory of this Frenchwoman in Jane Eyre.- Go for Jane Eyre, then?- Yeah.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15We're not at all sure. We're going to go for Jane Eyre.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Your answer is Jane Eyre.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20OK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24If you've got it wrong, they take away £11,000, and they will also
0:27:24 > 0:27:27have beaten two Millionaires sitting next to each other,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30which is quite something, if you've got it wrong.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35You have got it wrong. The answer is The Mayor of Casterbridge.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Congratulations, challengers. You've won!
0:27:43 > 0:27:51There we are, the strategy masterminded by Sally back there has pulled through.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Did the other Eggheads know the answer?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Daphne knew the answer. Who knocked out Daphne?- Me! Me!
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Who knocked out Daphne? Liz!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So there we are, Liz, a surgical strike on Daphne
0:28:03 > 0:28:06and then you win in the final round.
0:28:06 > 0:28:13- When you go back to Glamorgan, will people throw poppies in your path? - Absolutely, now!- We can only hope.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17You've put the WI in Glamorgan on the map, that's for sure. Congratulations.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- £11,000 is yours. You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.- Oh, thank you!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24And you've certainly proved they can be beaten
0:28:24 > 0:28:28and two Millionaires sitting together can be beaten as well.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time on Eggheads to see - will it be as exciting as today's?
0:28:31 > 0:28:36See if a new team of challengers will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
