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