0:00:05 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well-known,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Cotton Buddies. This team are all part
0:00:42 > 0:00:44of the Cotton Town Chorus,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48a championship-winning barbershop harmony club in Bolton.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. My name's Scott. I'm 34, and I'm a student paramedic.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello. I'm Brendan. I'm 68,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I'm a director of a management training company.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello. My name's Simon. I'm 41, and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello. I'm Nick. I'm 64, and I'm a music retailer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello. I'm Gary. I'm 54, and I'm a senior software developer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Scott and team, great to see you. - Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So you sing those traditional barbershop harmonies?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18That's right. We've got, basically, four parts that we sing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We've got a lead, baritone, bass, and a tenor.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26They make up the quartet, or the "chord", if you like.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Why was it called "barbershop"? Was it the States?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It was originally formed in the States.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Basically, you'd get a group of guys,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35literally sat in a barbershop, waiting for their haircut.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38They'd just sing together,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and eventually, they'd make a chord, and it would be like,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44"Ah, that's great!" Write it down, and just sort of record it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And it grew from there, really.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Days before radio.- That's right.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52We would love them to launch the contest with a song, wouldn't we?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yup.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57HARMONICA PLAYS
0:01:57 > 0:01:59# Come fly with me
0:01:59 > 0:02:03# Let's float down to Peru
0:02:03 > 0:02:06# In llama land There's a one-man band
0:02:06 > 0:02:09# And he'll toot his flute for you
0:02:09 > 0:02:14# Come fly with me Let's take off in the blue. #
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Beautiful! Thank you so much!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I can't remember anything as perfectly-pitched as that
0:02:23 > 0:02:25happening in this studio.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Certainly nothing from THIS side.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29THEY LAUGH
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Every day, there is £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41So, the Cotton Buddies, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Shall we get cracking?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Here we go. The first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Which of you would like this? Is that good?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I think it's you, Simon.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK, Simon, on Politics. Against which Egghead?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Pat. Cos he's a foreigner.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01THEY LAUGH
0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, we'll do that, then.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So Simon, from the Cotton Buddies,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14This is the Politics round.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Simon, as you know, it's multiple choice questions.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Whoever wins is in the final. The other person gets knocked out.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22You can chose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I might as well go first.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Here we go. What name is commonly given
0:03:31 > 0:03:33to the extent of change in voter support,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35from one party to another,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37especially at an election?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I have visions of Peter Snow, and others, with their swingometer,
0:03:43 > 0:03:44so I think it's swing.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Swing is the right answer. Well done!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Peter Snow, and others.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's one of the most fun things.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54OK, Pat. Your question.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56George Washington served as president of the USA
0:03:56 > 0:03:59until which year?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08I think he was inaugurated as first US president in 1789.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12He served two terms, and then chose to step down,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16before perishing just before the turn of the century.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So, I think the answer is 1797.
0:04:20 > 0:04:221797 is correct.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Second question to you, Simon.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Immediately prior to standing down as an MP, in 2008,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31to fight a by-election on civil liberty issues,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34what position did the politician, David Davis, hold?
0:04:39 > 0:04:45Ooh. Tricky. I'm pretty sure he wasn't Shadow Chancellor.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I have an inkling it's Shadow Home Secretary. I'm not 100 percent,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55but I'll go for that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Quite right. Well done!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00You take the lead. Pat's question, now.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04What phrase was written on the brooch worn by Hazel Blears,
0:05:04 > 0:05:05on the day in June, 2009,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08that she announced her resignation from the cabinet?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I think she had a brooch
0:05:15 > 0:05:19which said something like "Rocking The Boat".
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The right answer!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You both have two right. Simon, back to you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27After the Division Bell rings in the House of Commons,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30how long do MPS have to register their votes,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33before the Division Lobby doors are locked?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41That is tough.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I just have a slight feeling
0:05:43 > 0:05:45it's a really short time,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47so I'm going to say eight minutes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's ask the Eggheads. Eggheads?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It is eight minutes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Spot on, Simon. Well down. Three out of three!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Very good play on Politics.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I thought this wasn't your strongest round?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Pat. In 2011, who took over from Nancy Pelosi
0:06:00 > 0:06:02as Speaker of the US House Of Representatives?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I think he's from an east coast maritime state.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Somewhere like Virginia,
0:06:14 > 0:06:15or Maryland.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17One of those areas. I think it's John Boehner.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The right answer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24This is a cracking round. Three points each to both of you.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Gets a bit harder now, Simon.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It's not multiple choice any more, it's Sudden Death.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Are you ready for your question? - Go for it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Which Prime Minister was MP for Huyton, from 1950 to 1983?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'm going to have to guess. Harold Wilson.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44The right answer! You're playing well.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Pat, you're being pushed here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Let's see if you can come through,
0:06:48 > 0:06:49or get knocked out.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Who was Chancellor of the Exchequer
0:06:51 > 0:06:54in Winston Churchill's Conservative government of 1951-55?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57My first thought is Stafford Cripps.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Also, Rab Butler was a very senior chap.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'm unsure.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I'll have to go for Stafford Cripps.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's see if our Eggheads know.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Rab Butler.- Rab Butler?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Rab Butler is the answer.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"Rab", because he was Richard Austin Butler.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Stafford Cripps is wrong, Pat.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Simon, well done. You've just knocked out an Egghead.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Good first step for our Cotton Buddies.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Please both come back here, and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29The challengers have lost no brains from the final round so far,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31the Eggheads HAVE lost a brain.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34The next subject is Film & Television.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Who would like this?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I would do it, but I've just done one!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43THEY CONFER
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Just the Film option, Scott.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47No problem. I'll do it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Scott, from the Cotton Buddies,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52against which Egghead? Obviously can't be Pat.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'd like to say CJ, please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57What's happening, CJ? Suddenly, it's your favourite subject.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I haven't played this category for about a year.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- And now two shows in a row! - Incredible!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Scott against CJ, from the Eggheads.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It IS his favourite territory,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09but it's more fun to beat him, isn't it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:14To ensure there's no conferring, please go the Question Room now.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So, Scott, you're in a barbershop tradition, in your family?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That's right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23My dad has done it for 27/28 years.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Tried to get me and my brother into it when we were 13/14.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Wasn't quite cool then.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29But now, as you get a bit older,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32it becomes a little bit more cool.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33You ever done it, CJ?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I've never done barbershop.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I sing, but barbershop's something that's eluded me, so far.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What sort of voice do you have?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I've got a high baritone.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's pretty much perfect, I imagine?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Like everything else about me, yes.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'll ask you three questions on Film & Television, in turn.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Scott, would you like the first or second set?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'd like the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Here we go. Good luck.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03The comedian Rob Brydon was born in which city?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I know Rob Brydon is Welsh.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14So I wouldn't think it was Manchester, or Dundee.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'll go for Swansea.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17The right answer. Well done.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20CJ.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Which anniversary did American children's programme,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Sesame Street, celebrate in 2009?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It's not 50th. It's not that old.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37I remember being surprised,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41because the chap who plays Big Bird had played it the entire time.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I think it's 40th.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46The right answer. Well done.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49So, one point each. Back to you, Scott.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Who provides the voice for the title character
0:09:52 > 0:09:54in the film Yogi Bear,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56released in the UK in 2011?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02I'm not so sure.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07If I was going to go for any of them.,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'd possibly go for Steve Martin.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Yeah, I'll go for Steve Martin, please, Jeremy.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Steve Martin is the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It's Dan Aykroyd.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22CJ, to take the lead.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Which actor from the cast of Friends appears as himself in the TV sitcom
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Episodes, first broadcast in 2011?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36That is Matt LeBlanc.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Matt LeBlanc is correct.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's really funny, that programme. Anyone seen it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42No. Not so far, no.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Of course, I forgot you don't take interest in the world outside.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47All right, he's in the lead, Scott.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You need to strike back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I certainly do.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band
0:10:54 > 0:10:57appeared as a segment on which children's TV show?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'm barely old enough to remember Button Moon.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Bagpuss, yeah, slightly remember it, but Bod, I'm not so sure on.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08I don't really remember Bod.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I'll probably go for Bagpuss, actually, out of the three. Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- I'll go for Bagpuss.- CJ, do you know?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'd go for Bagpuss.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21No. Bod.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Bod is the answer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So there's no way back for you, Scott, I'm sorry.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You've fallen on the whatever that is that CJ is wielding there.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35CJ has triumphed on Film and TV, and Scott, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46The next subject, you'll like this, is Music.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I thought you were going to go "Yay-hey!"
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The fellow who runs a music shop.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You do it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I think if you run a music shop, Nick, you're not going to be able to get out of this one.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04OK, before you go, Nick, choose an Egghead.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'd actually challenge Kevin on Music.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yeah, all right. I'll take Kevin, please.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Nick, from the music shop, on Music against Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- and not from the music shop. - Definitely not from the music shop.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Please take your positions in the Question Room, now.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Do you want the first or the second set of questions, Nick?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23I'll go first, please.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Here we go. The Final Countdown was a UK number one single in 1986
0:12:30 > 0:12:31for which group?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Berlin, Europe or Chicago.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Difficult.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I think I remember, but I don't remember who the group was.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50I think I'm going to go with Berlin.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Do you know the song, who plays the song at all?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Very famous sort of riff.- No.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59JEREMY HUMS FINAL COUNTDOWN TUNE
0:12:59 > 0:13:01We'll audition you for the chorus, Jeremy.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I think I'm already out!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's Europe. It's Europe. It's Europe.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11That's the thing. So Kevin, your chance to take the lead.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14In which decade did Whitney Houston release her debut album?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, I think, I mean, certainly she had her first number ones
0:13:22 > 0:13:23back in the 1980s.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I think she'd probably have been too young to be releasing
0:13:26 > 0:13:29her first album back in the '70s.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I think she was born about '63, I think that's right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35But I'm assuming it must be the 1980s.
0:13:35 > 0:13:371980s is quite right, Kevin.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39He's in the lead, Nick, see if you can come back.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Who co-produced Donna Summer's 1977 UK number one single I Feel Love?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51It is very much a guess, this one.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I think I'm going to go with Giorgio Moroder.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Giorgio Moroder is the right answer. Very good.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Was that just a complete guess?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05About 99.9% guess, yes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Kevin, who wrote the song There's No Business Like Show Business?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19I think the song featured in Annie Get Your Gun.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21And that was Irving Berlin.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Irving Berlin is correct.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27So, you need to get this one right now, Nick. Your third question.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Which title character in an opera by Wagner rides in a boat
0:14:30 > 0:14:32drawn by a swan?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Funny, we sell these operas in the shop,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42but I can't always remember what's what.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I think it's Lohengrin.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Lohengrin is right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Good play.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So you have now got two points.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54You need to hope that Kevin trips up here.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57While writing his first opera The Maid of Pskov,
0:14:57 > 0:15:02which composer shared a room and a piano with Modest Mussorgsky
0:15:02 > 0:15:05as the latter wrote Boris Godunov?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14No, I don't think it's Tchaikovsky, so it's between the other two.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I mean, Borodin and Mussorgsky
0:15:16 > 0:15:20were both members of the group known as the Five or the Mighty Handful.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25I'm hoping that The Maid of Pskov is ringing a bell as Rimsky-Korsakov,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27so I'm going for Rimsky-Korsakov.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31And you have got it right, Kevin. It is Rimsky-Korsakov.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34So you've taken the round with three correct answers.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Sorry, Nick! Despite the music shop, you got knocked out there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains now
0:15:44 > 0:15:45from the final round.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The Eggheads have lost a brain themselves.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50The last subject before the final is Arts & Books.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Who would like Arts & Books?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Gary or Brendan?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- I think it should be you.- Yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Arts and books is one of my specialisms.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, good! Excellent, Brendan.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04As of 10 seconds ago.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08So, Brendan, against which Egghead? It can be one of the ladies.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Daphne, please.- So, Brendan from the Cotton Buddies against Daphne
0:16:12 > 0:16:15from the Eggheads, go to the Question Room now, please.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21and Brendan, would you like the first or the second set?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'd like the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Here we go. A diluted layer of watercolour spread on a painting
0:16:30 > 0:16:31is known as a what?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I don't know anything at all about arty stuff,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41but I believe the answer to this one is wash.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I thought you were the art specialist on the team?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Yes, but it's a very short-lived specialism, Jeremy!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53They've fitted you up, have they? Wash is the right answer, well done.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Nothing wrong with that.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Daphne, your question.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Which playwright is known as the Bard of Avon?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Um...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I think that might be William Shakespeare.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It would be a very unusual day for you to get that wrong.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12William Shakespeare is the right answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15OK, Brendan.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Who is the narrator of Ken Kesey's novel
0:17:17 > 0:17:19One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30It's set in an institution of some kind, isn't it?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So that leads me towards either...
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Doctor Spivey or Chief Bromden.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I will go for Dr Spivey, Jeremy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Chief Bromden is the answer, Brendan. I'm sorry.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Daphne.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Who painted the 1856 portrait entitled Madame Moitessier
0:17:51 > 0:17:54which is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London?
0:17:57 > 0:18:011856.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Well, it's not Vermeer,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06and I didn't know that Monet did portraits,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08so I'll go for Ingres.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It is the right answer, Daphne. Well done.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Here is your question, Brendan.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17See if you can catch up, you need to get this one right.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Thomas Hobbes' book Behemoth is an investigation into the causes
0:18:21 > 0:18:23of which historical episode?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Causes, plural.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Because of the plurality, I'm ruling out Great Fire of London.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And I'm going to go for English civil wars.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45And you're quite right.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Nicely done. It's very much how the Eggheads play when they don't know.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53They just rootle around in the question till something comes up.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Daphne, this for the round.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59The 1914 book of prose poems entitled Tender Buttons
0:18:59 > 0:19:01is a work by which writer?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Well...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I have never heard of it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17I wasn't aware that Virginia Woolf wrote poetry.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24I suppose the only real poet that I know there is Hilda Doolittle,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26so that's my answer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Ah, but it's not Hilda Doolittle.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- It is Gertrude Stein. - Oh, the other one.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Is she a poet as well as a travel writer and all that?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Well, these weren't really poetry, were they?- Right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- They sound like prose poems. - Prose poems.- Yeah, that's it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Prose poems, Daphne.- OK.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, it's two points each after three questions.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50They were multiple-choice, now we go to Sudden Death, Brendan,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53and it gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Here's your question.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Which artist was given the nickname Avida Dollars,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59an anagram of his name?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Could you spell that please, Jeremy?
0:20:02 > 0:20:07A-V-I-D-A D-O-L-L-A-R-S.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Avida leads me to suppose David.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18And Dollars leads me to suppose I have no idea.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22(Dollars.)
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Jeremy, I have no idea.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28So it's a pass.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Oh, that's so painful, isn't it, cos it's right there in front of you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Avida Dollars. Go on, Daphne.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Salvador Dali.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Salvador Dali. But it's the David. I know exactly your logic.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43I understand. You're thinking it's David somebody, David who?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Daphne, if you get this right you've got the round.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51In 2004, Sam Taylor-Wood's filmed portrait David
0:20:51 > 0:20:54showed which footballer sleeping?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58That was David Beckham.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- It wasn't Salvador Dali by any chance?- No!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03David Beckham is the right answer, well done.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06You've taken the round on Sudden Death, Daphne.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Sorry, Brendan, you are knocked out. Thanks for being such a sport.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Please, both of you, come back and we will play the final round.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It is time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:21 > 0:21:23won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27So Scott, Brendan and Nick from the Cotton Buddies,
0:21:27 > 0:21:32and Pat from the Eggheads, would you all please leave the studio?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Simon and Gary, you're playing to win the Cotton Buddies £4,000.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:40 > 0:21:42the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53So, Cotton Buddies, the question is are your two brains better
0:21:53 > 0:21:54than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Simon and Gary, would you like first or second?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Shall we go first? - Yeah, we'll go first, Jeremy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Good luck to you. Here we go. £4,000 you're playing for.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09In the standard notation for the card game bridge,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12for what does the abbreviation NT stand?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19A long, long time ago I used to play bridge
0:22:19 > 0:22:24for just a couple of years, and I do remember bidding in no trumps,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26so I think no trumps is the answer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29No trumps is the right answer, well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Back to you, Eggheads.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34What type of creature is the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- That'll be a rooster. - That'll be a rooster.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's a rooster.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44A rooster is the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46One point each.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Keep the pressure up here.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51How many dots are there in the Morse code for SOS?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57It's got dot, dot, dot in the S.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Yeah.- And it's the long ones and then it's dot, dot, dot,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02so it's got to be more than six, hasn't it?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04So eight has to be the only...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I thought it was three in the middle.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10No, because it's dot, dot, dot, da, da, da, so it's three dots.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Three dashes, three dots.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- So it should be nine. That's not an option.- No, I know.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17We'll go for six.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You're lucky nine wasn't up there.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Six is the right answer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27OK, Eggheads, you're going to be on the brink again. Let's see.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Camelopard is an archaic name for which creature?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35- EGGHEADS:- Giraffe.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39A camel leopard, a camel leopard.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's a giraffe.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Camelopard is indeed a giraffe.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45You all know that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47So, two points each, your third question.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Get this one right, they can slip up.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51How many Grand Prix races did David Coulthard win
0:23:51 > 0:23:53during his Formula 1 career?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59He was good and successful
0:23:59 > 0:24:03but I don't think he ever won the World Championship.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08And I'd have fought it he'd won 43 he'd have been maybe more successful
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- than he was. That's a large number. - Sounds like a reasonable approach.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16So I reckon 28 or 13. I have a feeling it's 13, but I don't know.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Shall we guess 13? - Grand Prix is not my strength.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22No. Shall we guess 13?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- I have a feeling it's that. - I'm happy with that.- OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I trust you. Yeah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29We'll go with 13, Jeremy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:3213 is your answer and you got there pretty quickly as well.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - Yep, 13.
0:24:34 > 0:24:3613 is the right answer, well done.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Three out of three in the final round.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Your team are very pleased by that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42If the Eggheads get this wrong, you will collect the £4,000.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45You don't need to do any more work. Eggheads, your question.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47If you get this wrong, it's over.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51What is the term for the worship of one God
0:24:51 > 0:24:54while conceding that other gods exist too?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- I mean, hype, hypo...- Hypo is sort of underperforming, isn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Yeah, I mean it means under, like hypodermic, under the skin.- Exactly.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well, we know the term pantheism,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16so is panentheism just an extension of that?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Meaning, you know there are lots of gods but you just worship one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Yeah, I mean, cos, um... - It's what henotheism means.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Maybe the hen just means "the one amongst many."- Yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It could do. It's my favourite of the three but I have nothing to...
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Well, I think... I was thinking henotheism.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Have you got an instinct for henotheism?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39I...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I just felt in the back of my mind that I'd heard
0:25:43 > 0:25:49something like that beginning with H, but of course you've got two Hs.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54I'm inclined for henotheism if Daphne's got the slightest inkling.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yeah, we'll have to go for hen, I think.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58It's up to you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I would go for the other one. Never mind.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06The majority of us think henotheism.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Well, well done, Daphne, you got it right.- Well done, Daphne!
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Just! The little grey cell in there.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Henotheism is the right answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21All right, so you're level after three questions.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24They're making heavy work of it, though. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28So it's not alternative options now.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Here is your first Sudden Death question, Cotton Buddies.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Which Olympic sport is governed by the ISSF?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39That's International, Internationale Society of something.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- So it's got to be the last two... - Yeah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Either the last or the last two letters.- Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's not...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51athletics, clearly.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's not rowing.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I'm trying to think of S and F.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Then you've got things like fencing.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Fencing is possible, yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well, let's think of others. Could be...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Something like shooting? I wonder if it's two sports together, maybe?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Yeah.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18Got things like archery, shooting of the rifles and handguns
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and clay pigeons and everything.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Fencing's my guess, but it's a guess.- I'm happy with that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, shall we try it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:31We are really not that sure, but we'll go with fencing.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well, it's the International something Sport Federation.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36- Ah!- Ah!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39And you said the word a couple of times.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Shooting is the answer.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Shooting.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest now.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Here is your question.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Which English city is home to the Belgrade Theatre
0:27:50 > 0:27:52which was opened in 1958?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- EGGHEADS:- Coventry.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58The Belgrade Theatre?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00The Belgrade Theatre.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Yeah, it's Coventry.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03That is Coventry.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05The correct answer is Coventry.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And commiserations to you. It was a great game.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I thought you had them there on the henotheism.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- We were close, we were close. - But no cigar.- No, no.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:24 > 0:28:25and they reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:29 > 0:28:30so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Eggheads, congratulations. The jackpot up to 5,000 next time.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Well, well, new territory. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:40 > 0:28:42to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45£5,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
