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 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
the show where a team of five challengers pit their wits | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Bowes Lions. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
This team all work at the Bowes Museum in County Durham, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
home to a collection of over 40,000 pieces of fine and decorative art. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
I'm Kevin, I'm 58 and I'm a museum attendant. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Hello, I'm Judith, I'm 61 and I'm an archivist. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, I'm Jon, I'm 51 and I'm the conservation manager. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hello, I'm Sheila, I'm 56 and I'm the museum's press officer. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Hello. I'm Ros, I'm 58 and I'm a customer services assistant. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:12 | |
Welcome to you, Bowes Lions. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
I'm very much enjoying that team name. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Of course, that was the Queen Mother's maiden names, Bowes-Lyon, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
without the "Lions". | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
She never visited there? It's not gone that far has it? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-The Queen Mother's been in umpteen times. -Has she? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-The last time was in 1992. -So that's why you went for the team name? | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
-Lions - quizzing lions, as well. -No, no. The family name was Strathmore. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
John Bowes, who founded the museum, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
was the illegitimate son of the 10th Earl of Strathmore | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
and the Queen Mother's father was the 14th Earl of Strathmore, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
hence the name Bowes Lions. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
OK. Tell me about the 40,000 pieces of decorative art. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
We have two very large Canalettos, two Goyas, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-an Italian artist called Sasseta, Joshua Reynolds... -Wow. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-..El Greco... -Yeah? -..and various bits and bobs. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
The most important bits and bob is a silver swan, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
which is an 18th-century automaton. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-What is an 18th-century automaton? -It's in pure silver. It's musical. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
It was a joint effort by a Flemish inventor | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
and an English silversmith in the 18th century. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
So that alone is worth hundreds of thousands? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-I've asked the curators. All they will say is it's priceless. -Yeah. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Well, fantastic stuff. We'll talk more as the quiz goes on. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
You're taking on the Eggheads, the quizzing automatons, there. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
So, Bowes Lions, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
That means £17,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
And our first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of sport. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Who'd like to play this? -That should be me, I think. -It has to be, Jon. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:00 | |
-Who are you going to take on, though? -I don't know. Who? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Who will I take on? -Judith. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
-Right, I'll take on Judith. -OK, Judith, that's the decision. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:11 | |
There's a plan, I think, running here. It's Jon playing Judith. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
The subject is sport. Could I ask you both to take your positions | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
in the question room? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Jon, right, do you want to go first or second? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
I'll go first, please, Dermot. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
OK, first question, Jon. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Which footballer won the PFA Player of the Year Award | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
in April 2010? | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
I don't think it's Michael Owen because he was injured for a lot of the season. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
I don't think it was Paul Scholes, so I'm going with Wayne Rooney. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Wayne Rooney is correct. Well done. Good start. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Judith. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
In which year did Andre Agassi win the men's singles title at Wimbledon? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Well, I think it's '92 or '96. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
I'm trying to think how old he is. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
I think it might be '96. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
What are you doing there, CJ? Serving? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
'96 was Richard Krajicek. It's '92. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-1992, Judith. -Oh. -'92. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
So, a good start, then, Jon, and a chance for a big lead, here. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
The opening batsmen Geoff Marsh and Graeme Wood played | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
test match cricket for which country? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Right, this is interesting. They didn't play for England, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
so it's between New Zealand and Australia | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
and I think Jeff Marsh may have been the brother | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
of the Australian wicket keeper Rodney, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
so I'm going to go with Australia. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Australia is right. Well done. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
CHEERING | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
You'll go through if Judith gets this wrong. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Robert Allenby and Ross Fisher are famous names in which sport? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
I don't think they're darts. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
I think it's golf. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
OK, you don't think darts. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
You went through the mental process of not athletics either. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Golf is right. Well done, Judith. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
You've maybe saved yourself or maybe not. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
You'll go out if Jon gets this, as you know. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Jon, how old was the swimmer Sharron Davies | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
when she was first selected to swim for the Great Britain national team? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
Right. Er... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
That's a toughie. I know she was very good at a young age | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
but how young, of course, is the question. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
Erm... I don't think it was 11. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
I think 14's probably a bit too young, as well. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
I don't think there are many swimmers who have represented their country at 14, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
so I'm going to go with 17. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
17 for Sharron Davies first breaking into the Great Britain national team. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
No, she'd been there a very long time by the time she was 17. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
11. It's 11. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
And, well, Judith, can you mount a comeback here? You need to get this. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
What is the nationality of the runner Tsegaye Kebede, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
the winner of the men's race at the 2010 London marathon? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Er, I think he's Moroccan. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-Moroccan? -Yes. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Tsegaye Kebede won the 2010 London marathon, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
what, a couple of seconds ahead of you, CJ? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-Did he take it on the line? -Only just but I think I was shocked | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
when I learned his nationality | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
because he was only the third ever to win it from this country | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-and I think he's Ethiopian. -Ethiopian is the answer. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
Which means, well, you've won this particular race, Jon. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
You are in the final round. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
the Bowes Lions are all there. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
Our next subject is film and television. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Who'd like to play this one? It can't be Jon. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
Any of the other four of you, there. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-I can go but I'm not terribly good. -Are you going to go with it? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
How do you feel about it? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Well, I don't feel very well about it but I'll have a go. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
-Go on, have a go. -We'll be rooting for you. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-Who am I likely to take on? -Who can you take on? -Oh, good heavens. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
-CJ's quite good at television. -Yes. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-I'd like to play Pat, please. -Pat. OK, let's have Sheila and Pat into the question room, please, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
just to make sure you can't confer. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Sheila, do you get much time to put your feet up and watch the telly? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
Er, not really, which is why I'm in the wrong category here. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-Taking one for the team, as they say. -Yes. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
There's one particular bit of this category you don't want to come up and that's Pixar films | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
because your challenger is very good at it. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
How many Pixar films are there altogether, these animated films? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
Well, the Toy Story 3D is the eleventh main feature, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
so I studied the first ten for my Mastermind quite intensively. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
-They're marvellous films. -OK, so we hope to avoid those | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
from Sheila's point of view. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Sheila, you get to choose as always - | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
would you like to go first or second? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
I think I'll probably go first and get it over with. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Best of luck, Sheila. First question. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
The actor Antonio Banderas was born in which country? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Well, I have heard of him and he's rather dishy. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
I don't think he's Italian. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Spain seems to be the obvious one. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
Erm... I think I shall say that he is Spanish. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:43 | |
Yes, he is. Yes. Antonio Banderas is from Spain. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Pat, in which year was the TV panel show Have I Got News For You | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
first broadcast? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
It's been going a long, long time. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Erm... I think 1970 is definitely too early. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
1980 I think is probably a little bit too early as well. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
I think I'll have to go for 1990. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
1990. Yes, it is 1990 for the first edition | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
of Have I Got News For You. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
Now, Sheila, what type of creature is Diego, | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
the character voiced by Denis Leary in the Ice Age series of films? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
Erm... My grandchildren will be shouting this at the television | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
but I'm afraid I haven't any idea. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Erm... So I think I'm going to go for sloth. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:47 | |
OK, Diego, a sloth. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
After our conversation earlier on, we'll have to ask Pat. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
I haven't seen the Ice Age films. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
I'd guess at sabre-toothed tiger but I haven't seen the film. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
OK, you don't extend it beyond Pixar to these...? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
I had enough on my plate with my ten Pixar films, I can assure you. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-You'd go for sabre-toothed tiger. -Yes. -OK. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Diego is a sabre-toothed tiger in the Ice Age films, | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
so nothing there for you, Sheila. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Let's see what Pat gets with his second one. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Tina Fey stars as Liz Lemon in which TV comedy series? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
They're all very popular with the critics, these programmes. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
I think Tina Fey stars with Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
30 Rock for Tina Fey. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
It's right, Pat. Well done. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
And she became even more famous, Pat...? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-For impersonating Sarah Palin. -Yeah. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
And there we are. Tina Fey is in 30 Rock. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
So you have a lead. That means you've got to get this, Sheila. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
Dhruv Baker found fame on which TV show in 2010? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
Erm, again, I don't really watch any of them | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
because they're not really my generation, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
so it'll have to be a guess | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
and I'll go for The Apprentice. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
The Apprentice for Dhruv Baker. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
It is MasterChef, Sheila. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
So you missed those MasterChefs | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
and you're missing a place in the final round. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Well, two rounds gone and it's all square. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Both teams have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
And our next subject is science. Who'd like to play this one? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-It can be Kevin, Judith or Ros. -LAUGHTER | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Oh, dear, dear, dear. Well, what are we going to do? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
What are we going to do? I think we're going to go home now. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-Oh, I'll give it a go. I'll give it a go. -Who are you going to play? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
It's going to be Ros. Who would you like to play - Kevin, CJ or Daphne? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
Well, CJ's giving me a lovely smile, so... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
Good enough reason. CJ, then? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
OK, CJ is it. Lovely smile. You've got a lovely smile, too, Ros. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
Let's have the two grinners, then, into the question room, please. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
And, Ros, do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Oh, I think it'll have to be first, please. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-Is that first, Ros, to get it over with? -Absolutely. -Three out of three might do it. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
The first one is here. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
What name is given to the branch of chemistry concerned with measuring and studying the rates of reactions? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
Well, I think phonetics has to do with language and letters | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
and aesthetics is studying beautiful... It's about beauty, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
so I guess it's kinetics. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Yeah, has to be, hasn't it? It's the right answer, yes. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Aesthetics is what you lot do. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
OK, CJ, during what type of eclipse does the moon appear darkened | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
as it passes into the earth's shadow? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
-Lunar. -Yes. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:08 | |
OK, Ros. The bongo is an animal native to which continent? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
Well, I think it's a large kind of antelope | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
and I think it lives in the southern part of Africa, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
so I'll say Africa. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
It does. It's the right answer. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-Have you ever seen one? -No. -I mean, apart from zoos. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-I haven't been to the south of Africa. -OK. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
But bongos are from Africa. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
And, CJ, the malleus is the Latin name | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
for which bone in the human ear? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
I believe it's literally Latin for hammer. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
It is. It's the right answer. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
You have two and Ros has two. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Well, Ros, if you get this, you might get into the final round. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
Mariner 4 was the first space probe | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
to obtain and transmit close-range images of which planet? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
Well, I can't remember the answer, so I'll have to guess this one. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
Erm... | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
I think I'll say Venus. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
-What do you think, CJ? Do you think it's Venus? -I think it is. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
-No, it's not. -Is it not? -It's not, so you would both have been wrong. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
Interesting that, in terms of Ros choosing to go first. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-But other Eggheads, of the other two...? -Mars. -Mars. -Mars. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
Mariner 4. When it did it go? How long did it take? Any other details? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
-It was in the early '60s, I think. -Oh, right, that long ago? -Oh, yeah. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-I think so. -Early '60s, Kevin thinks, Mariner 4. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
OK, well, it was taking close-range images of Mars. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
And CJ would have got it wrong but he's on the second set of questions, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:50 | |
and therefore can book a place in the final round with this. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
What type of bird is a bittern? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
Well, I know what it looks like and I know the noise it makes. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Erm... Surely it's too small to be a buzzard? | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
Er, it's a wading bird, | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
which automatically makes you think of a heron. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
Erm, I don't know this | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
but because it lives in the same environment, I'll go for heron. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
Heron it is, CJ. Yeah, you got that. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
So bad luck, Ros. You did really well there | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
but just failed on that Mars question, | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
which means CJ's over the moon because he's playing in the final round. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
The Eggheads have crept into the lead. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Two members of the Bowes Lions gone, one Egghead out | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
and our last head to head before the final round is arts and books. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
Who'd like to play this? There are two remaining players. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
-You go for it. -Right, OK. It'll be me. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
OK, Judith. And the remaining Eggheads are Kevin, over there, and Daphne. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
-Right, go on. Which one do I go for? -Daphne. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-Daphne? Try Daphne. -OK, Daphne, it looks as though it's you and me. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
Shall we dance? Let's have Judith and Daphne into the question room, then. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
All right, Judith. Let's see if you can even it up in the final round. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
If you get through, of course, it will be three all. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -I'll go first, please. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
Arts and books. First question to Judith. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Who is the main male character in the 2005 book, | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Well, I'm really pleased that that one's come up. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-Have you read it? -I have indeed. It's Mikael Blomkvist. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
Yeah. You're having the same problems as me, there. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Very good at the Swedish, aren't we? | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Mikael Blomkvist is the right answer. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, that hugely successful trilogy. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
And first question, then, for you, Daphne. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
How old was the poet Wilfred Owen at the time of his death? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
I think he died at the very end of World War I, | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
so I think he would be 25. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
25, of course, yes. It couldn't have been any of the other two. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
So one each and, Judith, your second question. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Fanny Brawne had a much-publicised romance with which poet, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
born in 1795? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
I know it's not Robert Browning. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I'm almost... I'm sure it's not William Wordsworth. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
I'm pretty sure it's John Keats. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Pretty sure it's Keats. Born in 1795. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Now you can be 100% sure. It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
Daphne, the Edgar Allan Poe short story | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
that describes the tortures suffered by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
is called The Pit And The... what? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:51 | |
The Pit And The Pendulum. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
It's the right answer, yes. The Pit And The Pendulum. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Straight back to you, Judith. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
Antony Gormley's Event Horizon installation | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
saw 31 sculptures of himself, cast in iron and fibreglass, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
placed on pavements, roof tops and ledges around which city in March 2010? | 0:18:09 | 0:18:16 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Erm, I'm better on the books than I am on the art, I'm afraid. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Erm... I will have to guess | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
and I will guess at... | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Tokyo. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
-Tokyo. Of course, Antony Gormley, very familiar to those from the North-east. -Yes. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
It's not Tokyo, no. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-Do you know, Daphne? -It's New York. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Apparently, people complained because it looked like suicide jumpers. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-People on the rooftops, yes. -Yes. -It caused emergency calls. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
It's New York for Event Horizon. So, a chance for Daphne. | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
Which film director co-authored The Strain, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
a vampire novel first published in 2009? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
I think this is a bit of a guess | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
but I will go for Guillermo del Toro. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
OK. Why are you going for that? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
An inkle. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
An inkle. A wickle inkle. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Yes. Is it? -It is the right answer, yes. Guillermo del Toro. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
Bad luck, Judith. It means you're not in the final round. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Just losing out on the third question | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
after two very good answers. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
It means that, Daphne, you are playing. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
The final round is, as always, general knowledge. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads can't take part, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
so Judith, Sheila and Ros from the Bowes Lions | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
Kevin and Jon, you're playing to win the Bowes Lions £17,000. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
The questions are general knowledge and you may confer. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
So, Kevin and Jon, the question is | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-What do you think? First? -We'll go first, yeah. -First, please, Dermot. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
OK, Bowes Lions, kicking off and this is your first question. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Mauritania has a coastline on which ocean? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-Oh, this is... -This is one for Ros, this one. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
She'd have been all right on this. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
Isn't it on the east coast of Africa? | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
So you're saying... You're saying the Indian? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-No, I'm saying the Atlantic, I think. -East coast? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
You could be right, actually. Yeah, you could be right. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
I'm trying to visualise it. It could be on the right-hand side. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-It's not Pacific. -No, it's not Pacific. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
-Which one do you want to go for, Kevin? -Atlantic, I think, Jon. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
All right, then. We'll go for the Atlantic. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Ros would have been the best one for this, Dermot, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-but we'll go for Atlantic. -Atlantic. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Yeah, I think your female colleagues do know this one | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
and, yes, they do, they're signalling from the question room. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
You, of course, can't see them. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
It is Atlantic. You've got it. You've made them very happy. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
A tricky opening question, there, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
getting it on the right side, the correct side of Africa. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
Just whereabouts, how high up, low down...? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
It's just south of Morocco. It's the second country down. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
-Well, there's Western Sahara. -Well, that's still Morocco. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
All right, up there. Mauritania on the Atlantic. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
So, Eggheads, your first question. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
The epic poem called the Mahabharata | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
forms part of the scripture of which religion? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-Hindu. -Hindu. -Yeah. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
-That's Hinduism, Dermot. -Hindu? -Yeah. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads, yes. OK. Back to Kevin and Jon. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:17 | |
The actor Shane Richie married which Nolan sister in 1990? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:23 | |
It's the one on the afternoon programme. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-The afternoon programme. It's not Bernie, then. -No. It's not Maureen. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
-Shane Richie... -It's the one on Loose Women. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
-It's... It's housewives, isn't it? It's Coleen. -Coleen. OK. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
It's Coleen, Dermot. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Coleen. Heard you there talking through the programmes you'd seen her on. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
These first three questions, | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
it's general knowledge, it's certainly proven that, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
the range of questions. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
You've got it, yeah. Coleen. From geography to TV. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
Popular entertainment, anyway, and two for you. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
Eggheads, in Greek mythology, who was the father of Perseus? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
-Happy with Zeus? -Mm. -Yeah? | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
-That was Zeus, Dermot. -Zeus. -Zeus, yes. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
"Zooss", as the Americans would say. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
-"Zooss" as the Americans would say but it's "Ze-oos". -Zeus. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
Perseus. OK, the father is Zeus | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
and gives you two out of two as well. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Our third question, then, going to Jon and Kevin now. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
Which leader of the Gallic revolt of 52BC | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
was defeated and captured, paraded through Rome as a trophy | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
in Caesar's triumph | 0:23:42 | 0:23:43 | |
and finally executed in 46BC? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
-I've seen a programme about this a while back. -Have you? -Yes. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
-Right. Good. -Erm... | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
I think, Jon, it's Vercingetorix. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
Right. We'll go with that, then. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
We'll go for Vercingetorix, Dermot. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
OK. Vercingetorix the Gall, as he appeared in the Asterix cartoons. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Why did they wait six years to finish him off? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
That was a bit cruel. Mind you, they were. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Well, you had to wait for your moment for these things, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
if there was going to be a big triumph or series of games. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
It was all part of a great festival celebration to show Rome's power. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
-It went on a few years. -Mm. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
OK, there we are. Three out of three. Serious stuff here. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
Yes, looking at the £17,000 very closely, here. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
You get it if the Eggheads don't get this. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
In which year were the businessman Philip Green, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
the author Douglas Adams | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
and the fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier born? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
-'52? -Douglas Adams, I think, is '52. -Yeah. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-I think Gaultier is, as well. -Fine. -I don't know about Philip Green. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
I don't know Green or Gaultier but I think Adams is '52. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
I think he was 49 when he died, Douglas Adams. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
He died in 2001. I'm sure I've seen '52 for him and for Gaultier. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
-Fine. -OK? 1952, Dermot. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
1952 for those three. It's the right answer, yes. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
It's all square. We're going to Sudden Death. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
No choices to look at. I've just got to hear an answer from you, Jon and Kevin. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
Which race course annually hosts the Scottish Grand National? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
Which race course annually hosts the Scottish Grand National? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
I used to be a big punter on the horses. It's Ayr. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
-Ayr it is! Well done. -Well done. -Stood you in good stead, then. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
You may have lost a few quid on it but you may win a few quid back now. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Ayr. OK, well, Eggheads, got to get this. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
The traditional form of theatre known as Noh | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
has its origins in which country? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
-Japan. -Japan. -Yeah. It's Japan. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Japan. Can you tell me a bit more about Noh? Is that the puppet stuff? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
-No. -No, no. -This is very... | 0:26:04 | 0:26:05 | |
It's not to all tastes but it's a very stylised, very traditionalised form. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:11 | |
-People shrieking? -A couple of actors, that sort of thing. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
It dates back to the 14th century, originally. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
OK, well, that's right. Japan is correct. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
So, back to you two. Going well, there, Jon and Kevin, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
and another Sudden Death question. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Who directed the films Rain Man, Diner and Good Morning, Vietnam? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:29 | |
-I haven't a clue at all. -No, sorry. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
-Sorry. Films isn't my forte. -It's not my forte either. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
I sort of know it but I can't actually drag it up. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I think the second bit of his name ends with "man", I think. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
-And erm... -Man, you think? -Mm. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
-Just give the first name. -I can't... -If you can't think. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-I can't think what it is, no. -I don't know any directors. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
-Films isn't my forte. -I sort of know it but I can't think of it. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
-No. We couldn't even hazard a guess, Dermot, sorry. -OK, it's a pass. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
You still might be in it. The Eggheads have got to get theirs right. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
-Eggheads, do you know? -Barry Levinson. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Barry Levinson. Barry Levinson, director of those films, | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Rain Man, Diner and Good Morning, Vietnam. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
A chance for victory, Eggheads. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
What did Oscar Wilde once describe as "the best thing the English have done in fiction"? | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
Was it Burke's Peerage or Debrett's? It's one or the other. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
I've never... Well, OK... No, I won't say any more. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
