0:00:04 > 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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 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 as they've won
0:00:33 > 0:00:36some of the country's toughest quiz shows, they are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:41are The Buccaneers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45This team of friends all met when they attended Glasgow University
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and now, they all quiz together at The Common Rooms pub.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 21 and I'm a statistics student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Sophie, I'm 22 and I'm an editorial assistant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 26 and I'm a neuroscience student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm 21 and I'm a law student.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Allan, I'm 21 and I'm studying statistics.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- So, Mike and team, welcome, great to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And you are quizzers, you are the next generation of quizzers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- We try our best. - Why is it so appealing?
0:01:12 > 0:01:18- Why do people love to quiz so much? - For us, it's a money thing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Ah, OK. Say no more.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Bit of extra beer money for us,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but we just started enjoying it a lot,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25gaining a bit of knowledge and stuff
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and then, yeah, we've tried a few different quizzes,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30but we keep going back to the same place every time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Is that cos it's got the biggest prize?- Possibly.- Cheapest beer.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The quizmaster there is quite a good friend of ours as well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, he's actually appeared on Eggheads as well.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Soon, everyone in Britain will have appeared on Eggheads. - At some point.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We're about halfway there, we think. So, quizzing for prize money,
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- is that a relatively new development?- Not as such, no. No.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I mean, there have been quizzes with prizes, cash prizes, for some time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And, of course, there's the pub quiz machines as well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So, you did get people who were,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03at the time of the heyday of the pub quiz machines,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05who were making a living out of those. Just a few.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Really?- There were some.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- And you, in your own way, Judith, I suppose did the same.- Oh, yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It wasn't a pub quiz machine. One question earned her a million quid.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Yes.- We're not quite at that level yet, but we're trying our best.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18OK, well, good luck. Let's see how we do.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:20 > 0:02:24for our challenges. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, Buccaneers, I can tell you the Eggheads have won
0:02:29 > 0:02:30the last four games,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- which means £5,000 says you can't beat them today.- Nice.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Would you like to try?- We'd love to.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Have you got...? Oh, it's good, you didn't gasp
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- in horror. Who's history?- OK.- That's Jamie, I think.- That's me, I think.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Jamie's going to take up history.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49OK, Jamie against which Egghead?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Classic line-up, here, CJ in the middle.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Daphne?- I think Daphne.- Daphne? - Yeah.- I think we'll take on Daphne.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- Daphne, History, how far back do we go?- What? Personally?- No, no, no.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I did it not long ago, didn't I?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- I'm glad you can remember back that far.- Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Jamie from The Buccaneers against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Jamie, you positively leapt on History there.- I did, yes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- I thought you were studying law? - I am, it's just a personal interest.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Oh, OK. Well, even better.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28That's basis on which you tackle everything,
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Daphne, isn't it?- Yes. Just things you read and they just stick.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- And you're interested in quite a lot, really.- Yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37All right, good luck in this round.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Three multiple-choice questions, whoever gets the most right
0:03:40 > 0:03:43goes into The Final, the other person is knocked out.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Jamie, the first or the second set of questions?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'll take the first, please.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Here we go. Good luck to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Who was the second of Henry VIII's wives to be beheaded?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I was doing a quiz recently and Jane Seymour was an answer.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So, that's where I'm going initially.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Erm.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'm going to go with Jane Seymour on that one, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Jane Seymour on the basis that she has been the answer
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- to a different question? - Well, yes, she's leapt out at me
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and it was in relation to the same subject matter.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- OK.- So, yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Daphne, do you know? - Catherine Howard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Catherine Howard is the right answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Poor, old Catherine. How many were beheaded?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Two.- Just the two. OK.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Daphne.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Which archaeologist famously said "Yes, wonderful things,"
0:04:36 > 0:04:40when asked, during an excavation, if he could see anything?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think that must have been Howard Carter
0:04:49 > 0:04:52when he opened the tomb of Tutankhamun.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54So, you think he went down a hole in the ground
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and said this back to whoever was asking?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Yes. Was it not? Am I wrong?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Howard Carter's the right answer, Daphne.- Oh, right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04OK, Jamie. Let's see if you can claw
0:05:04 > 0:05:07some territory back, here.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Historically, what was a linstock used to hold?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- A linstock. - A linstock, L-I-N-S-T-O-C-K.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I don't think it's going to be ink.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27You keep your ink in an inkwell, I imagine.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So, I'm going to rule that one out. A lighted match.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Erm.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I don't know why,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- I'm going to go lighted match, please, on that one.- Lighted match.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's used for lighting cannons,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42you're absolutely right, it is a lighted match.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Well done, Jamie.- Excellent.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47OK, you're level.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Daphne, you have a question in hand. Here it is.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53In which year was the Mines Act passed into law in Britain,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57preventing children under ten working underground?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Oh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Not sure about this one.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Erm.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm going to go for...
0:06:17 > 0:06:18..1842.
0:06:18 > 0:06:211842 is the right answer, Daphne.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Using your mystical powers again, aren't you?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I thought you only just held them for The Final.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30So, Jamie, you've got to get this one right
0:06:30 > 0:06:32or it's curtains.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Emma Hamilton, who had a famous liaison with Horatio Nelson,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42died in obscurity in 1815 in which French city?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50The clue's in the fact that they died in obscurity, I suppose.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Which is the most obscure? But I don't know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So, this is going to be a guess. Erm...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00We'll go for Dijon, please.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Do you know? What do you think, Daphne?- Calais.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Calais is the right answer, Jamie, sorry, not Dijon.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Daphne, well done, you've taken that round
0:07:08 > 0:07:09without needing your third question.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And, Jamie, sorry, you've been knocked out, but it's early days.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Do please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:07:19 > 0:07:23from the Final Round, the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26This is good for you, students, isn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Hopefully.- Arts & Books. All day long studying.- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Maybe not the case, but... Who would like it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Me, I think.- I think. - Sophie studied English language.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I studied English language. - OK, Sophie, against which Egghead?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44What do you reckon?
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- CJ?- CJ.- OK.- I think.- Yeah. I'll take CJ, please.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- That's your most artistic shirt, CJ, isn't it?- It is.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't particularly like this one, but, apparently, upstairs do,
0:07:57 > 0:07:58so we have to obey what they say.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:03OK, so, Sophie from The Buccaneers against CJ from the Eggheads
0:08:03 > 0:08:06in the lively shirt. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08please take your positions.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Sophie, you're the one team member
0:08:10 > 0:08:12who's now left university, is that right?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Yes, that's right. I'm a graduate now, yes.- And what are you up to?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20I'm an editorial assistant for a Scottish-based lifestyle magazine.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Have you done a piece on CJ at all, ever?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I haven't written about CJ,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26but, who knows, I might reflect on my experiences.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Can I recommend a piece on, perhaps, your wardrobe, CJ? Or different hairstyles?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I hardly think you're in a position to comment about shirts,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Mr Flower Power. LAUGHTER
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Don't be alarmed, he's not actually that unpleasant, Sophie.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40So, I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44in turn, and you can choose the first or the second set, Sophie.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Can I have the second set, please?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So, to the man with the shirt.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53In Patricia Cornwell's series of crime novels,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56what is the occupation of Kay Scarpetta?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Daphne's read all these, hasn't she? Oh, dear.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Erm.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13I thought she was more concerned with the examination of crimes,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I didn't think she was just a nurse or a pharmacist.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20So, I don't know this, but I'm going to go for medical examiner.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Daphne.- Quite right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It is the right answer, well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Sophie, your first question.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30LS Lowry's famous painting Going To The Match
0:09:30 > 0:09:31shows a crowd of fans on their way
0:09:31 > 0:09:34to the ground of which football team?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, no. This feels more like sport.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I'd imagine it was northern.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I'm going go say Bolton Wanderers.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well done, you're right, Bolton Wanderers, it is.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55CJ, your second question.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00In Great Expectations by Charles Dickens,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03who does Pip's love Estella marry?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I don't know. It's a long, long time since I read this book.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm assuming they're all Dickens characters,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Matthew Pocket certainly is, but which book he's from, I'm not sure.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I don't recognise the name John Wemmick at all.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Unfortunately, I can't remember which books Pocket or Drummle are from.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35OK, I...
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I think Matthew Pocket's from something else. I think it's...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I just don't associate him with Great Expectations,
0:10:45 > 0:10:46but I don't know what he's from.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Oh. I don't know, but I'm going to go for Bentley Drummle.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Bentley Drummle is the right answer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Got an appreciative wink from Daphne, there, CJ,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59although you couldn't see it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Sophie, what is the name of the theatre cat
0:11:01 > 0:11:05in TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, I really, really don't know.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15So, it's going to be a guess, so I'll say Griff.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Anybody?- Gus. - Gus is the answer they all give.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So, you've fallen behind, and, CJ, if you get this right,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24you take the round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26In 2010, Habitat,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31a sculpture consisting of 57 stainless steel boxes,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35depicting a crouching person, was unveiled at the Anchorage Museum
0:11:35 > 0:11:39in Alaska to become the first permanent US installation
0:11:39 > 0:11:41for which artist?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well, I haven't heard of it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I wouldn't have thought that was Emin.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56And, to me, it just doesn't sound like Damien Hirst's work.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Gormley's done a lot of work in metal and he's done a lot of work
0:11:59 > 0:12:03representing human forms, so I will guess at Antony Gormley.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Anthony Gormley is correct, CJ, well done. Three out of three.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Sorry, Sophie, didn't really give you any leeway there.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So, you've been knocked out and it will be CJ who's in The Final.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Please, both of you, come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20So, Mike, you've taken a bit of a hit now.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We have taken a little hit, but we've still got three left.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Any change of strategy?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Hopefully, some better rounds'll come up than the past two, but it's luck of the draw.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And, if not, then we've got our secret weapon.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Don't say any more about it, we mustn't know at this stage.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38the Eggheads still haven't lost a brain.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40How is this going to be for you? We've got Sport now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Is that any good?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Sport's a lot better than the past two.- OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- And...- Who wants this? It can be you or Paul or Allan?
0:12:48 > 0:12:54- I think, I think I'm going to take sport.- OK, Mike against...?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Who do you think? Judith?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Chris.- I think Chris. - Do you think Chris?- Yeah.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Chris? ..OK, I think I'll take on Chris, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Chris, you're getting a lot of Sport. Judith's avoided Sport
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- for several games now.- Yeah, I know.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Although, the last time I played sport, a few days back,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15it was an absolute marathon and I won it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Well done.- OK.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So, it is Mike from The Buccaneers against Chris
0:13:19 > 0:13:22from the Eggheads on Sport. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, Mike, your sports are skiing, squash, football.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Yeah. That's the sports I play, although I'm into a lot more sports,
0:13:32 > 0:13:33watching and that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36But those are the three that I like to play quite often.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37You been skiing recently, Chris?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If there were some way of getting back uphill.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It's a singularly ridiculous method of locomotion, isn't it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- You can only go downhill.- OK.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49So, I think we'll probably not take Chris on the next skiing holiday,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- then, Mike?- I think not.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So, Sport is your subject and you've got three multiple-choice questions
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- and do you want to go first or second, Mike?- I'll go first, please.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Here we go.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Which position is most associated with the footballer Emile Heskey?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's a good first question for me, I definitely know this one.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15England striker, has played for quite a lot of clubs in the Premiership
0:14:15 > 0:14:17as well and he's a striker.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Striker is the right answer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Chris, in which city was the boxer Henry Cooper born in 1934?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31He was a London boy from Deptford. London.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34London is the right answer. Very good.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36OK, your second question, Mike.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Michael Llodra
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and Juergen Melzer are famous names in which sport?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Being Scottish and with Andy Murray doing as well as he is just now,
0:14:49 > 0:14:54I have taken a bit of an interest in tennis, recently.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Just double-checking, but, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's tennis.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Let's ask our tennis correspondent, CJ.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They are both tennis players, yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04They are both tennis players, well done. Chris, over to you.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Which Australian cricketer took a hat-trick on the opening day
0:15:07 > 0:15:11of the 2010-11 Ashes Series?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Mmm. I did, actually, pay a bit of attention to this.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24And I remember thinking, what a strange name for an Australian.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I think it was Ben Hilfenhaus.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- That's your answer, is it?- Hmm. - Ben Hilfenhaus.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30He may well be Australian,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34but this is not the right answer to this question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Daphne, do you know?- Peter Siddle. - Peter Siddle is the answer, Chris.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41So, Michael, how about this? You've got two, now, he's got one.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43If you get this one right, you've knocked him out
0:15:43 > 0:15:47and you are in the final. The captain leading the comeback.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51In 2010, the 18-year-old Rugby Union player George North
0:15:51 > 0:15:55scored two tries against the world champions South Africa
0:15:55 > 0:15:58on his test debut for which team?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'm pretty sure I know this one. I'm a big fan of rugby.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08My cousin plays rugby professionally,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11so, I've, again, taken a big interest in that recently.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14And I'm pretty sure the answer to this one is Wales.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15And Wales is the correct answer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Well done, you're in the Final Round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You have knocked out Chris,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21who goes down again on Sport.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25If you both come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27OK, so now, the challengers have lost two brains
0:16:27 > 0:16:28from the Final Round,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31but the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34The next subject is Film & Television.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Who would like this? You've gone silent on me.- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- It's going to be Allan.- Allan.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's not first choice round, but I think Allan's going to do this.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48OK, those are serious television-viewing glasses, I think.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Who would you like to play? It can be, let's see, Kevin or Judith.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Do you want to just take Kevin? - Yeah, just see.- It's worth a try.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- OK.- Try get and lucky.- Kevin. - We're going to pick Kevin, please.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Kevin. OK. On Film & TV, Kevin?- Hmm. - Ready?- Hmm.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- You're all geared up? Revving up? - Hmm.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11It doesn't look like it, does it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So, Allan from The Buccaneers against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The subject, Film & TV. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Film & TV, Allan,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'll go first, please.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31OK. Good luck getting the Godfather out.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The phrase "phone home" is associated with
0:17:33 > 0:17:34which film character?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41That's the first film that ever scared me so hard
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I fell off my table.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46I'm going to go with ET, there. It's pretty straightforward.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51ET is the right answer, there. Well done, Allan. DID it scare you?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Well, I suppose it was maybe my dad who walked into the room
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and screamed at the top of his lungs.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I suppose there's quite a lot of suspense in it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00You're right. Kevin, your question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04A 1980 episode of which TV show famously featured
0:18:04 > 0:18:08a group of Cub Scouts who ate their packed lunches on a roller coaster?
0:18:15 > 0:18:171980.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I can't really see how that would fit in with The Generation Game.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25And I think, possibly,
0:18:25 > 0:18:291980 is slightly early fit Game For A Laugh, but I may be wrong there.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It sounds like the sort of thing that they might have asked Jim to fix.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Erm.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think it is. I'm going to go for Jim'll Fix It.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Jim'll Fix It is correct. You don't remember this?- No. I may have...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Famous is always a dangerous word
0:18:44 > 0:18:46cos so many things are famous that aren't,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48but this one I do remember, I must say.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK, so you're equal and it's your second question now, Allan.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57Who plays the title role in the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim Vs The World?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I just watched that with my girlfriend recently
0:19:05 > 0:19:07and my flat mate.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Really good movie, although I'm not entirely sure on his name.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I know it's not Jack Black.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Steve Carell sounds like the guy out of The Office.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21I'm going to go with Michael Cera.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23And you watched it yourself, recently?
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Yeah. Although, I watch films and I never read their names.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Michael Cera is the right answer.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well done. Glad you got that. Kevin, your question.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38What is the name of Baby Jane's sister,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42played by Joan Crawford in the 1962 film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Very, very long time since I saw this.
0:19:49 > 0:19:56Trouble is, those are all well-known names from other films as well.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I don't think she was Dorothy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I'm not sure, I'm torn, unfortunately,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm torn between Rose and Blanche.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I'm going for Blanche.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Blanche is your answer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Does it help you if I tell you that the surname is Hudson?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19No, it wouldn't have helped, particularly, I don't think,
0:20:19 > 0:20:20actually, as, between these two,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I can come up with reasons for both of them.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26So, I'll have to stick, well, I've said it now.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's Blanche Hudson. You're right. Well done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Allan, sorry, he was on the edge there,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35wasn't he? And then, it would have been so simple.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Here's your third question, Allan.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41What type of creature was Hartley in the children's TV series Pipkins?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh. I've never heard of it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm going to...
0:20:54 > 0:20:59I'm just get have to guess and I'm going to go with hare.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Hartley the Hare, it was.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05So, you got three out of three, really well played, Allan.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08If you get this wrong, Kevin, you'll be knocked out.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Who directed the films Enemy Of The State,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Top Gun and Days Of Thunder?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18That was Tony Scott.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Tony Scott is the right answer. So, you are both on three points.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Allan, it means that we go
0:21:23 > 0:21:27to Sudden Death, gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32In the 1990s, who starred as the TV detective Wycliffe?
0:21:34 > 0:21:361990s.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You've got me beaten on that one, completely.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Erm.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50No, I haven't a clue.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I can't even think of anyone to say, just for an answer.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I'll have to just make it up.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Dick Van Dyke.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- No, it wasn't him. Jack Shepherd is the answer.- All right.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Wycliffe, it was Jack Shepherd.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Kevin, if you get this right,
0:22:14 > 0:22:15you're in the Final Round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Which English actor was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar
0:22:18 > 0:22:21for his performance in the film Rob Roy?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Erm.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Well, I'm assuming it must be the...
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I'm trying to think of any of the English roles in the film.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Although, then again, he wasn't necessarily playing English. So...
0:22:39 > 0:22:44I think, I'm assuming, I have to assume, I think, the English actor.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm assuming it has to be one of these over-the-top villain roles,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52which would make it, I think, in Rob Roy,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54again, it's a long time since I've seen it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I think it was Tim Roth.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58So, I'll try Tim Roth.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03He is quite amazing, isn't he? Tim Roth is the right answer, Kevin.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You just came round to it, unerringly, there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's quite frightening when you're in that form.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Sorry, Allan, you have been beaten by Kevin
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and he will be in the Final and you won't be.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And if you both rejoin your teams, we will play the Final Round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:23:20 > 0:23:21it is time for the Final Round
0:23:21 > 0:23:23which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:26 > 0:23:28won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, Sophie, Jamie and Allan from The Buccaneers
0:23:31 > 0:23:36and Chris from the Eggheads, would you all, please, leave the studio.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Well, good luck, Mike and Paul,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42you are playing to win The Buccaneers £5,000.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:23:45 > 0:23:48that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53The questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and you are allowed to confer. So, Buccaneers, the question is,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Want to go first?- Yeah.- Yeah, we'll go first, please.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10All the best. £5,000 on the table to play for.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12You're three questions away.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16In which year was Prince Andrew the Duke of York born?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- I'm not great on my royals at all. - Neither am I.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I really don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I think he's the youngest of the kids. I think it's '63.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You happy with...?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- We don't know, but I think, yeah. - We're taking a rough guess at 1963.
0:24:39 > 0:24:411963 is your answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46I was born in '65, I'm thinking he's older than me.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Two years older? Five years older?
0:24:49 > 0:24:531960. February 19th.
0:24:53 > 0:24:561960, guys.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00So, he's what? He's in his early 50s now.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Eggheads, your question.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05How many dominoes are there in a standard
0:25:05 > 0:25:07or double-six set, Eggheads?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- 28.- 28.- 28. That's 28.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1828 is the right answer.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And there are 55 dominoes in a double-nine set.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We knew that, didn't we?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Knew the answer to that one.- There are no extra points for showing off.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30They may even get points taken away, if there's too much of it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34OK, so they're a point ahead.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37What is the meaning of the word mordacious?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- This is where I really... - Spell it for us, please?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47M-O-R-D-A-C-I-O-U-S. Mordacious.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Bet you, Sophie behind us, will be shouting the answer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55She studied English language. She...knows her words.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Mordacious.- I don't know.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02I really don't know.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Mordacious.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Sarcastic.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Any... Can you think of any French or any Latin sort of words?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14I didn't study Latin.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I'd say, if I was guessing...
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Untruthful.- It'd be untruthful, but it would be an absolute guess.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29That would be the same as me, the one I've got an inkling towards.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- I think.- Do you want to play on that?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yeah, I think we'll have to go with that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- We'll go untruthful. - Untruthful is your answer. OK.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You may have been thinking of mendacious
0:26:40 > 0:26:42which means, I guess, untruthful.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46This is sarcastic.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Mordacious.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I was going to say, I hope, you know, you don't want to see
0:26:52 > 0:26:55that word again for a while, but one doesn't see it very often.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Eggheads, if you get this question right,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00you have won the contest.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03They may well not. When there are four them, I've noticed,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06they can fall into the most terrible arguments.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Eggheads, in which country does the action in Bizet's opera
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The Pearl Fishers take place?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Ceylon.- Yeah, Ceylon. - Fishing for pearls.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It's Ceylon.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25The correct answer is Ceylon.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26With no way back for the challengers,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Just didn't quite break for you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- It didn't quite work in the Final Round.- No.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- But we've had a great day.- Good. And they are good.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46They are extremely good. Extremely good.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I can imagine them playing dominoes every night,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52counting the bricks, and you're all going out enjoying yourselves,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54they're doing that, so, you're the winners, really.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Commiserations, challengers,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:58 > 0:28:01and they still reign supreme over quiz-land.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I'm afraid you won't be going home with £5,000.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06So, the money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations again. Who is going to beat you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:12 > 0:28:15have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18£6,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
