0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Question is,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32You might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Taking on their might today are the Woodkirk Wonders.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They teach at Woodkirk High Specialist Science School
0:00:44 > 0:00:46in West Yorkshire. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Dan. I'm 29 and I'm a physics teacher.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, my name's Adam. I'm 44 and I'm a chemistry teacher.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Virginia. I'm 57 and I'm a biology teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Mike. I'm 40 and I teach physics.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Alan. I'm 31 and I am a physics teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Welcome to you, Woodkirk Wonders.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06OK, specialists in science.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10We only have one science round, and that's if it comes up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Presumably, you're good at other things apart from the sciences?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16We've not bad general knowledge, our own areas of expertise,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- and have been swotting up a bit, as well.- Good idea.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24How does a specialist school work? You could push people in science,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28but presumably, you must teach the National Curriculum?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We have the whole curriculum to teach,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33but we specialise in science, technology and maths.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37We give our students as much of a basis in those skills as we can,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41not just in science and maths, but the whole curriculum.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44We do history of medicine in history lessons, things like that.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46OK, I can see how that works.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Let me tell you how THIS game works.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Every day, there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53If they don't win,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The Eggheads won the last six games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Let's see what comes up first, then. Our first head-to-head is Music.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Who'd like to play this?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12What do we think? Do we want to keep somebody back for Sport?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yes.- That's me, isn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Are you going to go for Music? - I'm going to go for Music.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19We'll go for Adam with Music.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Adam, choose your Egghead.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Barry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Don't want to get up against him in Science, do we?- So...
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Right. I sacrifice. It's going to be Barry.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32OK. Right. Trying to get you out,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35in case Science comes up.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Tactics at work here.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's going to be Adam and Barry playing this Music round.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Into the Question Room both of you, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So, Adam, what about musical tastes, then?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Or is this a bit of a sacrificial lamb attempt here?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Well, I'm hoping '70s prog rock comes up.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Apart from that, I could struggle.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You and Barry, as well!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55We could have a round just on that.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'll bat first, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, Adam. First question is this.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05With which musical instrument is blues singer
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Bo Diddley most associated?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I do have some Bo Diddley records. And it is guitar.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It is, yes. Guitar is correct.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Barry, which Bob Marley song did Eric Clapton cover
0:03:19 > 0:03:23on his 1974 album 461 Ocean Boulevard?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Somehow I can't see Eric Clapton singing No Woman, No Cry.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Or Redemption Song. I think it was I Shot The Sheriff.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yes, it was I Shot The Sheriff.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK. Second question for both of you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42This is yours, Adam.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Suedehead, released in 1988, was the first solo single
0:03:46 > 0:03:50to enter the UK charts for which male vocalist?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I'm sure it's not Paul Weller, cos I have most of his records.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I seem to remember it's Morrissey.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'll go with Morrissey.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It is Morrissey, yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well done. Two to you.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Barry, which Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera is subtitled
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The Lass That Loved A Sailor?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16It's not The Mikado, but which is it?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Pirates or HMS Pinafore?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21I think that's HMS Pinafore.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Is it, Chris?- It is. - D'you know it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I know bits of it. I'm not going to launch into a rendition.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30THEY LAUGH
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Look at CJ's face. You've spared CJ.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It IS HMS Pinafore.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Two-all. Third question for Adam.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43The "musical offering" dedicated to King Frederick II of Prussia,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and said to be based on a theme by him,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49is a series of pieces by which composer?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I don't think it's Beethoven or Mozart.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So probably one of those two.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Bach wrote so much.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm going to plump with Bach.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Johann Sebastian Bach is the right answer.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14All right, Barry.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15What shape is the soundbox
0:05:15 > 0:05:19of the musical instrument known as the hammered dulcimer?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I've seen dulcimers. Let me try and remember.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I don't think it's a circle.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Is it a trapezium or a hexagon?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30I think it's a trapezium.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32To stay in it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36You got it. Trapezium is correct.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Two good quizzers on this subject.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Adam, we go to Sudden Death,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and remove the choices you've seen up to this point.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Here's your question.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Who sang with David Bowie on the 1985 UK number one single
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Dancing In The Street?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I think it was on Live Aid several times,
0:05:54 > 0:05:55and it's Mick Jagger.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58It was indeed. Mick Jagger and David Bowie, there.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Dancing In The Street.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Will you be doing that in the studio if Barry gets this wrong?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Barry, which American musician, along with his band,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09had a UK number two single with Abracadabra
0:06:09 > 0:06:10in 1982,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and a UK number one eight years later
0:06:13 > 0:06:14with The Joker?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Just trying to remember the name.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'm not sure if I've got the name right, now.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I think it's something like Steve Harley,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but let me have a think.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Ooh! Come on, Barry!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I'll try Steve Marley.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Steve Marley?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Very close, and not Steve Harley, either.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42It's Steve Miller.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Ah!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Which you clearly knew,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but it wouldn't come.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49The Steve Miller Band, of course.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Abracadabra and The Joker.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53You ARE dancing in that Question Room.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55You've danced your way into the final round.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Barry well and truly neutralised, there.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03A very powerful performance from Adam.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It means the Eggheads miss one brain.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Our next subject today is Geography.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Who'd like to play this one? Can't be Adam.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11What are we going to do?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- How about Mike? - We could take Mike, yeah?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yeah, cool.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20So, we'll go for Mike with Geography, please.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK. Mike, there. Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Try and take out Daphne on this one?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Daphne's far too strong.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Pat's the unknown quantity,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- so shall we see what Pat's like? - OK, cool.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36We'll try Pat on this one, please.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Shying away from Daphne - "too strong".
0:07:38 > 0:07:40If only they knew the horrible truth.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41THEY LAUGH
0:07:41 > 0:07:43But it's Pat they've chosen.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Mike and Pat, then, playing Geography.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Into the Question Room, please, both of you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Mike, let's see if we can get you into the final round, like Adam.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'll go first, please.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06The M27 motorway ends at which city on the south coast of England?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I have no idea, as I don't go down south very often.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So, it's a total guess.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Erm, I think I'll go for Brighton.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Because I think Portsmouth
0:08:24 > 0:08:26would be a higher number.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I think that would be M3, or something.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK. Brighton.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Portsmouth IS a higher number than Brighton,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36but it's Portsmouth, the M27.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38The M23, that leads to Brighton, doesn't end there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Bad luck. Don't go down south much, as you say, so didn't know that one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Now, Pat. The city of Berlin is located approximately 40 miles
0:08:48 > 0:08:50from the western border of which country?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It lies well to the east of France,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01and it's 200 miles at least from the French border.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It lies quite a long way north
0:09:06 > 0:09:07or northwest of Austria.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Poland sounds right. I'd say Poland.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Poland is the right answer, yes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Well done.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Right, Mike. You need to get on the board here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Travelling south along the Greenwich Meridian,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24what's the next country one would pass through after France?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I think it's definitely not Spain.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So, Algeria or Morocco?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Morocco's in West Africa,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38so I'll go for Algeria.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Algeria? It IS Spain.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Would Algeria be next?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Yes.- Spain on the way there, though.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So, Pat,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54St Aubin is a port in which of the Channel Islands?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I think I'll be reduced to a guess.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Sounds like it could be any of them. St Helier's on Jersey,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12St Peter Port's on Guernsey, but they're irrelevant.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Seeing as Jersey's much the biggest island,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I'll assume it's got room for a few more little towns.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21I'll go for Jersey.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Jersey. "Percentages", this is called, isn't it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Very lame.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28If you go for the bigger island, more choice.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33I don't think honouring this with the term "technique" is appropriate.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36What about, "guess-nique"?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Yes, something like that.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's the right answer, Pat.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40St Aubin is on Jersey,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44which means we close the round down right there.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Mike, are you Leeds way?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yes, Leeds, yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Don't go down to Brighton or down to Greenwich.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Bad luck, Mike. It's the way those questions fell.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56You won't play in the final round.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03The Eggheads' storming back there means both teams have lost one brain
0:11:03 > 0:11:05from the final round.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Our next subject today
0:11:06 > 0:11:08is Arts & Books.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The three players left available to play
0:11:10 > 0:11:13are Dan, Virginia or Alan.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I said I'd do Arts & Books.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Virginia put herself forward for that, so...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Who'd you like to play?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It can be CJ, Daphne or Chris.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Chris might be the least literary one.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- SHE LAUGHS - That's a terrible thing to say.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Literary, not literate!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Yes, I'll have a go at Chris.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37The "least literary", maybe.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Lots of books about trains and locomotives?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Yeah, but they're not literature as such...
0:11:43 > 0:11:47If you're ever looking for a cure for insomnia, get out there!
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Let's play the round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52It's Virginia and Chris heading for the Question Room, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK, Virginia.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Best of luck. Here's your first question.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07What word describes the postman
0:12:07 > 0:12:11in the title of an award-winning 1986 children's book
0:12:11 > 0:12:13by Janet and Allan Ahlberg?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Unfortunately, several of my colleagues have young children,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23so would have been much better placed to know this one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Postmen should be jolly. I'll go with jolly.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31They should be. And that should be in the title.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's the right answer, yes.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Jolly Postman. OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Chris, in art,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40what name is given to a surface that's been prepared for painting?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Grouting's what you stick round tiles.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Not grass, no. That's too stupid.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's a ground for painting on. Ground.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Ground? It's the right answer.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK, Virginia. Second question.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Lost In Yonkers is a 1991 play by which writer?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Again, we're plumbing the depths of my lack of knowledge.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I've heard Neil Simon associated with New York,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17so I'll go with Neil Simon.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19THEY LAUGH
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Having these little scraps of information is serving you well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27It's the right answer. Neil Simon, Lost In Yonkers. In '91.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Chris, which English writer began his career as an illustrator
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and established himself with a book of drawings of Paris
0:13:35 > 0:13:37published in 1832?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Rossetti was in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48He was a painter-type artist. It wasn't him.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Lewis Carroll's illustrations were originally done by John Tenniel,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54but Edward Lear did his own illustrations.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I think that's how he started. The answer must be Edward Lear.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59That's the right answer.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well done. It's all square at two-all.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Virginia, third question.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Which historical figure, dressed in white and blindfolded,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12is about to be executed in a painting by Paul Delaroche
0:14:12 > 0:14:14that's in the National Gallery collection?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21My friend's been trying to educate me
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and take me round the galleries,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26but unfortunately she's not taken me to see this one.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I'll go with Anne Boleyn.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Your sure touch has eluded you this time.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It is, Chris?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40She's dressed in white. That signifies she's a virgin,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42which neither Anne Boleyn nor Mary were,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44so it must be Lady Jane Grey.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It IS Lady Jane Grey. The Paul Delaroche painting.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49A chance for Chris.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Whose writing did Samuel Beckett once memorably describe as,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55"Not writing, but plumbing"?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04This is a pun, isn't it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Not plumbing, as in pipes and stuff,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09plumbing as in "plumbing the depths".
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Not Jack Kerouac, a bit too lyrical. I don't think it's Hubert Selby Jr.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16But "plumbing the depths" sounds like Burroughs.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Naked Lunch, and so forth. So, I'll say William S Burroughs.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well worked out, Chris. It IS the right answer.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24You're through to the final round.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Bad luck, Virginia. Just didn't get Lady Jane Grey.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You won't be in that final round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Three rounds down, three players down.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Two from the Woodkirk Wonders, and one of the Eggheads.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Our last head-to-head before that final round turns up.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43And it's Science!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So, Alan or Dan can play it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51As we're all science teachers,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54we did think this would be the biggest potential banana skin,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58so I said as team captain, I'd take it on.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00As a teacher, you don't want to lose it, do you?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- So, who should I take...? - Do you want to play, CJ or Daphne?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Which one d'you reckon?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'd like to take on CJ.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11All right. Dan and CJ, into the Question Room, please.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, Dan, you've taken on the Science round.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- You're a physics teacher, aren't you?- That's right.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20How are you with all the other areas?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I specialise in physics,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25but we do teach general science to the lower school,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27bits of chemistry and biology.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'm looking to see if I can do a qualification myself in biology
0:16:30 > 0:16:35over the next year. That'd hopefully stand me in good stead.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Right. Well, let's play the round.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'll go second, please.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Right, putting CJ in first.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49What term is used to refer to the divisions
0:16:49 > 0:16:53on the underside of a mushroom that contain the spore-bearing cells?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I don't know, Dermot.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I loathe and despise mushrooms.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Limits you as a vegetarian?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Well, I'm a vegetarian,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07but the only things I don't eat are meat, vegetables and fruit.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Not tails. Gills LOOKS good.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'll try gills.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19It IS the right answer.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Gills, on the underside of mushrooms.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Dan, your first question, then.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25In terms of radio waves,
0:17:25 > 0:17:30for what does the letter V in the abbreviation VHF stand?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Radio waves split up into different bands. You've got UHF and LF,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and I think the VHF is "very high frequency".
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It is "very". "Very high frequency".
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Very good answer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50CJ, the Italian-born scientist Giovanni Cassini
0:17:50 > 0:17:54gave his name to a set of laws he formulated in 1693
0:17:54 > 0:17:56to describe the motion of what?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I haven't heard this,
0:18:01 > 0:18:06but Cassini is most associated with the planet of Saturn.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08There's the Cassini division in Saturn's rings,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12and the Cassini probe went to investigate Saturn,
0:18:12 > 0:18:17so let's assume he didn't do much else apart from astronomy.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Let's try the moon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The moon is the right answer
0:18:21 > 0:18:23for Cassini and his set of laws.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25OK, Dan, second question for you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Constructed inside a mountain
0:18:27 > 0:18:32on Spitsbergen, an island in Norway's Svalbard archipelago
0:18:32 > 0:18:36in the Arctic Ocean, is a secure facility, designed to preserve
0:18:36 > 0:18:39a wide range of which of the Earth's resources?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I don't think it'd be rare metals,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48cos there's lots of other places you could put them
0:18:48 > 0:18:50other than under a mountain.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I think I recall
0:18:54 > 0:18:56that it's a store of seeds for the future.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59So, plant seeds.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Two each. Back to CJ.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05In the periodic table,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08which chemical element sits between uranium and plutonium?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I think they're in order. Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17They're the same on the periodic table.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I think Einsteinium is the next one in the sequence,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23and Californium is a little later.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I think it's Neptunium.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It is, yes. Neptunium.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30You've got to get this, Dan.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33In which part of the human body are membrane-covered openings
0:19:33 > 0:19:37known as "the round window" and "the oval window"?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Sounds like something off Play School.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I can't think it'd be the small intestine.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I can't think there'd be a window in there.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57"Round window" and "Oval window".
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I think I'll go for ear, please, Dermot.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Virginia, you're the biology teacher. Is he right?- Yes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Correct. Ear.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Tricky moment, there. We go to Sudden Death.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17CJ, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19who made important contributions to the understanding
0:20:19 > 0:20:22of atomic structure, was born in which century?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, he won the Nobel Prize in 1922, so I'll have to assume
0:20:25 > 0:20:27he was born in the 19th century.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yes. Correct, CJ.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Again, Dan, you need to get this.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Which word was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel
0:20:38 > 0:20:42to describe the study of the relationship of organisms
0:20:42 > 0:20:44and their environment?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Well...
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I'm not 100% sure, but I think the environment,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51we could call it an "ecosystem",
0:20:51 > 0:20:54so I'll go for ecology.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Well done. Ecology is correct.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Another biology question.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Doing well with those.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04CJ, "pentose" is the name for
0:21:04 > 0:21:06any of the class of simple sugars
0:21:06 > 0:21:10whose molecules contain five atoms of which element?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17It'll probably be one of the main four.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I have no idea. I'll try nitrogen.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- No. Barry?- Carbon.- It's carbon.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30An opening then, Dan.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33You don't get too many chances off these Eggheads.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36What name refers to the largest of the four compartments
0:21:36 > 0:21:38that make up a cow's stomach,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40in which up to 50 gallons
0:21:40 > 0:21:44of partially-digested food can be stored?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I know that cows chew the cud.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's the only way they can break down the cellulose
0:21:49 > 0:21:52to get the energy out of it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56That's why they have to have four stomachs, or four compartments.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm not 100% sure of my cow anatomy,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but I know they're ruminants.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm going to go with the rumen.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The rumen is correct. Yes.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Well done, Dan. A great round there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Great quizzing from CJ there.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Really stood up to you, but you're through on your favourite subject,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21playing in the final round today. No place for CJ.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:31 > 0:22:34won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Virginia and Mike from the Woodkirk Wonders,
0:22:36 > 0:22:41and CJ and Barry from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So Dan, Adam and Alan,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46you're playing to win the Woodkirk Wonders £7,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Daphne, Chris and Pat,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49you're playing for something money can't buy.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54And that is the Eggheads' reputation. Yes, Daphne.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and you are allowed to confer. Dan, Adam and Alan, the question is,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Woodkirk Wonders, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- What would you like?- First, please.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16First set of questions going to the Woodkirk Wonders.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, played by Jane Lynch,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22is a character in which US TV series?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28That's your favourite show, isn't it?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Being a bit of a "gleek" myself,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I'd have to say it's Glee.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Is that what they call them now? - Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38That's a good word. It's the right answer. Yes, Glee.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43OK, Eggheads. Birkbeck College, the Royal Veterinary College,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47and The School of Pharmacy are all part of which UK university?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's London.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53The right answer, yes. London.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Back to the Woodkirk Wonders.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58In printing, what is a literal?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Any ideas?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06THEY CONFER
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Could a font be a literal?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12There's some magical font names about...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Is that the name of a font, though?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Can we think about it logically?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Would a literal be a misprint,
0:24:20 > 0:24:25because it could be "literally" printing out what was put in?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Or could it be a footnote?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Is it likely to be a footnote?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It doesn't make sense for me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35What d'you think, Adam?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I'm leaning towards misprint.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40We'll go for a misprint, Dermot.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42A literal
0:24:42 > 0:24:45is a misprint. It's correct.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Next question for the Eggheads.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51After centuries as a site of pilgrimage,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral
0:24:54 > 0:24:56was finally destroyed and its assets confiscated
0:24:56 > 0:24:58on the orders of which ruler?
0:25:03 > 0:25:09Well, I think it's Henry VIII, because that's what he did.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Dissolution of the monasteries.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Cromwell didn't confiscate as such.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20They defaced things and smashed things.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Henry wanted the money, so it's him.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25That's Henry VIII.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Henry VIII and the shrine of Thomas Becket.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Part of the dissolution of the monasteries?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- That's right.- Yes, it's Henry VIII.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37All square.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Will this decide the fate of the game?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44A third question for the Woodkirk Wonders, then one for the Eggheads.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Who was the first politician
0:25:45 > 0:25:48to hold all four of the Great Offices of State?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary
0:25:52 > 0:25:54and Foreign Secretary.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I have no idea.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Harold Wilson wasn't Chancellor...
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Whose party was in power the longest before they...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Who was in the longest? Because...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well, Healey was Chancellor for such a long time...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'd have thought for both Callaghan AND Wilson.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19We've already said Wilson, we don't think it is.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Callaghan it probably won't be. Will it be Edward Heath?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24He was Father of the House for a long time,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27the longest-serving MP for a long time...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So he was an MP for a long time...
0:26:29 > 0:26:33If the other two had long-serving Chancellors,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36if we talk about percentages...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I think we've talked ourselves into Edward Heath.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45OK, Edward Heath. Prime Minister, Chancellor, Home Secretary
0:26:45 > 0:26:48and Foreign Secretary at one time or another.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50The answer's not Heath. It's...
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- James Callaghan.- Jim Callaghan,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56held the four Great Offices of State.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So, a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Eggheads, whose travels around Europe with his jazz band
0:27:02 > 0:27:07are the subject of the late 1990s documentary film Wild Man Blues?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Woody Allen's a clarinet player and jazz enthusiast,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15so he's a good candidate.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I don't know much about Mike Figgis.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I know David Lynch's passion is painting.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21He's an artist.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I don't know anything about Mike Figgis.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28He's a film director, but I don't know what he does for a hobby.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'd go with Woody Allen.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33He plays clarinet in a regular location in New York.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36He's done it for decades.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39He definitely is a jazz enthusiast.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Well, we have really no idea,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45but we'll go for Woody Allen.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Woody Allen. You said he's a clarinettist...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Plays jazz...- Plays a bit of jazz.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54So it would fit. And it IS the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Bad luck, Woodkirk Wonders. The tightest of squeaks, there.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Good final round, there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Just one question in it. That James Callaghan question against you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Some HEROIC head-to-heads there.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Adam and Dan stand testament to that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Virginia, a very good-head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Mike just foxed by southern geography. Quite right, too.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24But thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26A very tight game. The Eggheads just triumphed.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Those Eggheads' winning streak continues.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £7,000.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:41 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46£8,000 says THEY don't. Until then, goodbye.
