0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well known,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads. Challenging our quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are Loose Connection.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42This team of colleagues
0:00:42 > 0:00:46work for the same careers advice company in Gloucestershire. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 51 and I'm a careers advisor.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Karen. I'm 46 and I'm a careers advisor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Jim. I'm 39 and I'm a careers advisor.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Kim. I'm 52 and I'm a careers advisor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Gary. I'm 48 and I'm also a careers advisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Kevin and team, welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10So, you are busy helping people decide what jobs to do?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Well, mainly working with 13 to 19 year olds,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16trying to help with employment, education and training.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Right, and looking at this lot over here,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21could you recommend any gainful employment?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Ooh, I don't... Yeah.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23They've got a lot of knowledge.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25They've found their career now.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26LAUGHTER
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I think it's probably true, actually.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Our only possible career.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Yes, if you weren't doing quizzing, what would there be, actually?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Well, every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, Loose Connection, the challengers won the last game,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47proving it can be done, at least.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It means that £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads now.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Are you ready to try?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Yes.- Yep.- OK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Who wants this?
0:01:59 > 0:02:06- Is that going to be Kev?- You're the one who's revised that topic.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- And who should we choose? - Barry?- Who did we think, before?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11What's your mum's dossier say?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Film & TV, I'm not sure. My mum's dossier, it's very thick.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Your mum's dossier?- Jim's mum's a keen fan.- And you haven't read it?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You're going to be in trouble.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24There's only four volumes of it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28She was going to give us a dossier on who to choose for what subject.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- OK, so who's playing this one? - I'll take the Film & TV.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Sure. Against?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35I think I'll take on Barry, shall I?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36- Barry?- Barry.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40So, Kevin from Loose Connection against Barry of the Eggheads.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44please take your positions in the Question Room now.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, so let's see how you both do on Film & TV.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Three multiple-choice questions. Kevin, you can choose first or second.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Good luck. Which comedian partnered Steve Coogan
0:03:01 > 0:03:03on a tour of restaurants
0:03:03 > 0:03:07in the north of England in the 2010 comedy series The Trip? Was it...?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Right. Em.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'm pretty sure it was his close friend,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17also someone well-known for his impersonations,
0:03:17 > 0:03:18I think it was Rob Brydon.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Rob Brydon is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Barry, your question.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27In which film did Tom Cruise play a character called Ron Kovic?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Ah, this was a stunning performance by Tom Cruise in this film,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and it was Born On The Forth Of July.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It was indeed Born On The Forth Of July.
0:03:40 > 0:03:421-1. Back to you, Kevin.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Which Blue Peter presenter went on to be a regular presenter
0:03:45 > 0:03:49on the TV show Saturday Superstore with Mike Read? Was it...?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm pretty sure it wasn't Anthea Turner or Katy Hill.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Sarah Greene
0:04:00 > 0:04:02on Saturday children's programmes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03So Sarah Greene.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Sarah Greene is your answer, and it's correct.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, Barry.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13In 2006, Calista Flockhart took on the role of Kitty Walker
0:04:13 > 0:04:15in which US TV drama series?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I don't think it was Six Feet Under.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Doesn't sound like her sort of thing at all.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I can't recall seeing her in Grey's Anatomy,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30so I shall go for Brothers And Sisters.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Brothers And Sisters is correct.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Both doing well. OK, Kevin, back to you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Kate Winslet won her first Best Actress Oscar
0:04:38 > 0:04:40for playing a character with which name?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm not sure on this one. Em...
0:04:50 > 0:04:54The names... I would probably have to guess at...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56April Wheeler.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Was April Wheeler in a movie?- Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00They're all characters.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04In a film which came out at pretty much the same time as the other one.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06The other one being The Reader. It was Hanna Schmitz.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Revolutionary Road was April Wheeler.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Oh, OK. Barry, your question. If you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Who directed the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate
0:05:17 > 0:05:19starring Frank Sinatra? Was it...?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28This was the original film, and so much better than the remake.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I don't think it was George Roy Hill.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32He did Butch Cassidy.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Was it William Wyler or John Frankenheimer?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Something is telling me it was John Frankenheimer.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39John Frankenheimer is correct, Barry.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Three out of three, you've booked your place in the final.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Sorry, Kevin. You got knocked out, there, but you did well.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51APPLAUSE
0:05:51 > 0:05:54So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:05:54 > 0:05:57from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Our next subject is Arts & Books. Which of you would like this?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So, Arts & Books?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I will fall on my sword for this one.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK. Who would you like?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Obviously you can't have the person we've just had, Barry.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Em. Ooh.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Chris, please?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Don't look so worried. Kim from Loose Connection versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Would you please make your way to the Question Room?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27OK, Kim, good luck in your performance against Chris.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Three questions, multiple choice, on Arts & Books.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Kim, you can say whether you want the first or second set.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'd like the first set, please.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Here we go. Terry Pratchett's novels Diggers and Wings were sequels
0:06:43 > 0:06:48to which 1989 fantasy about gnomes who inhabit a department store?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I really don't know. Em...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59A department store. Gnomes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Anything there?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'll just have to go down the middle and say Spinners.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's not Spinners, actually. Eggheads?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Truckers.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- You had to be a Pratchett-ophile to know that.- Or an Egghead.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Or an Egghead. Yes, good point.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Chris, your question.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The badger Trufflehunter is a character
0:07:18 > 0:07:20in a book by which writer?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, there's a badger in Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29There's no badger in Winnie The Pooh by AA Milne,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33but CS Lewis wrote the Narnia books, so I presume Mr Trufflehunter
0:07:33 > 0:07:37is a badger character in one of the Narnia books by CS Lewis.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42CS Lewis is the right answer. Back to you, Kim.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45In 2010, which artist made headlines when she installed
0:07:45 > 0:07:49two fighter jets in the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Again, not my favourite subject, Art & Books,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00but I shall do my best.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm going to go Jenny Saville.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Do you know this one, Chris?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I'd have gone with Jenny Saville.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09No, it's Fiona Banner.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Tough question.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Chris, on to you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What was the title of Jonathan Safran Foer's debut novel
0:08:15 > 0:08:16published in 2002?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Not a clue, Jeremy.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Don't think it'd be Chasing The Dime,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and Bag Of Bones is a bit hackneyed.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Perhaps we're looking at a conspiracy involving
0:08:33 > 0:08:36the Illuminati, and it's called Everything Is Illuminated.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38So that's what I'll go with. Everything Is Illuminated.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You are right. It's the right answer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Chris, that means you've taken that round.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Kim, sorry. Chris will be in the final, not you.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Bad luck, Kim.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It was... Well. It was tough.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I've done it. I came to do it, and I've done it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It is tough sometimes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03In the Question Room, the stakes are different, I know.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The Eggheads have lost no brains. Our next subject is Sport.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Is that a good one?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- That would be me.- You, Jim.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Definitely you, Jim.- That is part of the dossier. It's got to be.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yes, that's the first volume.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Who does your mum say you should take on?- Daphne, please.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25OK, Daphne. Doing her "I don't know anything about sport" routine.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Jim from Loose Connection versus Daphne from the Eggheads. Please take your positions.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35So, Jim, we've got to hear a bit more about this dossier your mum prepared.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yes, it's very important, it's helped us in our planning.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's up to the fifth volume, now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Each Egghead. This sort of size.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Any key points?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46They always say Kevin's no good on Food & Drink,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48although he always seems to win.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think he wins a lot more than people think.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54And Daphne's a lot better on sport than we think, as well. They're all very strong.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Chris on sport would've been good, but then he'd been done already.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So, yeah, we'll see how it goes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well, here we are, you're playing Daphne on sport, and this is all to plan
0:10:03 > 0:10:07as far as your mum's dossier's concerned. You can choose the first or second.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Should you choose the first or second set of questions?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11She told me first.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18OK. Jim's mum, hope you're watching.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Which footballer was given his first ever red card
0:10:20 > 0:10:26during his debut league appearance for Liverpool in August 2010?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I thought football would be a good subject for me,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35but I'm not quite sure of this one.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Can't imagine... Wait a minute... Joe Cole.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I think it was his debut from Chelsea.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I think it might've been Joe Cole, thinking about it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51He's a forward, so it'd more likely to be a defender.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54But I'm going to go for... I'll go for Joe Cole, please.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Well done, Joe Cole is right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Daphne, your question. the Duckworth-Lewis method
0:11:01 > 0:11:05is a system used to devise scores for which sport?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Cricket.- Cricket is correct.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Oh! - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:11:11 > 0:11:17Jim. In 2002, Adams Park became the home ground for which rugby union team?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Again, it's not my strongest, rugby union. Let's think.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30If it's Wycombe, it's quite close to London.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I can't imagine Leicester would have to share, they're quite a big side.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Exeter, I'm sure they play in Exeter.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I suppose a rational guess
0:11:40 > 0:11:44would be London Wasps.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Please. London Wasps.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48You're playing well, it is London Wasps. Two points.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Your mum is pleased.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53And you knew it was in Wycombe?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I've been to watch a football match there,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58but I didn't know there was rugby, to be honest. Was a bit of a guess.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Guessed well.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Daphne's a good guesser, too. Let's try you out.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04In 1982, who became the youngest ever winner
0:12:04 > 0:12:08of the men's singles title at the French Open?
0:12:11 > 0:12:19Gosh. I thought Michael Chang was going to come up, and, er...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Er, I don't know.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Em. Mats Wilander.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Mats Wilander is correct.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So when was Michael Chang?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Michael Chang was 1989.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- CJ says Michael Chang is 1989. - Oh, right. OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40OK, your question, Jim.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The Portsmouth Yardstick or the Portsmouth handicap
0:12:43 > 0:12:46is a system of handicapping used in which sport?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I haven't got a clue. I've got...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm thinking, Portsmouth, linked to the sea.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Yardstick is something to do with a boat, maybe.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07I don't think there's any handicap in lawn bowls. Or archery.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'm going to have to say yachting.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yachting is correct.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Three out of three. How's that?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Victory for the dossier.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Daphne, if you get this wrong, you're knocked out.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23The two golf courses at Gleneagles designed by James Braid,
0:13:23 > 0:13:28who won the Open Championship five times between 1901 and 1910,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31are known by what names?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I do not know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Em...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm...
0:13:45 > 0:13:51just going to take a sheer punt at the King's and the Queen's.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Is the right answer.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You see what I mean, Jim? She pulls them out of thin air.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00OK, we go to sudden death, which means it's a bit harder.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I don't give you the multiple choice options. Are you ready, Jim?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- I am.- In which decade of the 20th century
0:14:05 > 0:14:09did Pete Sampras win his first men's singles title at Wimbledon?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's either going to be '80s or '90s.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16I think he started to come in at the early '90s.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18'89 it was still probably people like Becker, maybe.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22I'm going to say '90s.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24'90s is correct.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27CJ loves his tennis.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You can give us the year?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31'93.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33OK. Daphne. Your question to stay in it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37With which team did the footballers Alan Shearer and Tim Sherwood
0:14:37 > 0:14:39win a Premier League title?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I know nothing about football.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Newcastle United.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50No, you're wrong.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I know!- Blackburn Rovers is the answer.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, Daphne, you've been knocked out,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and it's a bit of a nudge forward
0:14:57 > 0:14:59for our brilliant Loose Connection.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Well done, Jim, you will be in the final. Both of you please come back and rejoin your team-mates here.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08You've turned the corner, Loose Connection. See what happens now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The challengers lost two brains. Eggheads lost one brain.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Our next round is Music. Last round before the final.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Who wants to do this?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- What do you reckon, guys? - Shall I go for it?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Because you don't think you know a lot about music.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- I know nothing about music.- OK. - Shall I go for it then?- Yep.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Dossier's out the window now. - Who shall I challenge?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- It's CJ or Kevin, isn't it? - CJ or Kevin.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think CJ sometimes says he doesn't listen to music.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36He says he doesn't, because he knows a lot really, doesn't he?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- He doesn't listen to music, does he?- Sometimes.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40I'll challenge CJ, please.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Gary of Loose Connection, challenging CJ on Music.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- You do listen to music, don't you? - Not in the slightest, no.- Well done!
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Another victory for the dossier. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55OK, I'll ask each of you three questions on music, in turn,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and Gary, you can choose the first or second set.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Everybody's going first at the moment.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Golde is the wife, and Tzeitel, the eldest daughter,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12of the main character in which musical?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's definitely not West Side Story.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I don't know Guys And Dolls very well,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26but those names are not familiar to me from that at all.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Pretty sure they sound Russian or Polish sort of names,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32so I'll go for Fiddler On The Roof.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Fiddler On The Roof is the right answer.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Famously played by Topol, or was that the character's name?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Tevye is the character. - Tevye's the character? Right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Topol played him.- Right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51CJ, a version of All I Ask Of You from The Phantom Of The Opera became
0:16:51 > 0:16:56a UK number three single in 1986 for Sarah Brightman and which singer?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Ah, I obviously had the wrong song in my head.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I was waiting for Peter Gabriel to come up.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, that's Don't Give Up, isn't it? Oh, dear!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Do not remember this at all.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Was Sting doing much solo stuff that early? '86?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20The Police were still going then.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Erm, I can imagine Sarah Brightman and Cliff Richard doing it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29It's the sort of style of song that Cliff Richard could do.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35I can't imagine Rod Stewart doing it, but he could've done.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Erm, I don't know.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I know they've worked together in the past. I'll try cliff Richard.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Cliff Richard is the right answer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46OK. Over to you, Gary.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Life For Rent is a best-selling 2003 album by which singer?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Eh, I think I know this one. I know it's not one of Kylie Minogue's.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Erm, I've actually got the album
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and I think it's the second album by Dido.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Dido is right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07CJ.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Jordan Knight became famous as a member of which group?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I think you may want to pronounce that N-SYNC.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20That's how groovy I am!
0:18:27 > 0:18:28OK, I'll do it again.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35A Knight with a K?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37K-N-I-G-H-T.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I think he's the one who had the younger brother who went on
0:18:42 > 0:18:44to have a career of his own.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49I think it's Backstreet Boys. Oh, hold on. It's not NSYNC.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52No, he isn't, is he?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54He's the dark haired one in New Kids.
0:18:54 > 0:19:01I'm not sure, but if I've got the right guy,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'm going to go for New Kids On The Block.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You've gone the right way.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07New Kids On The Block is the right answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09OK, over to you, Gary.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Which composer was appointed Master of the King's Music in 1924?
0:19:17 > 0:19:23Erm... I think Holst is 20th century.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27And although his name is German, I think he was born in Cheltenham.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So he could well have had that role.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Elgar was writing around the early 20th century.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I've not heard of a connection with Britain for Delius.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45So, that seems less likely to me. I think it's between Elgar or Holst.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And as a guess really, I'll go for Elgar.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Good guess. You're right.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Edward Elgar is correct.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You got three points out of three.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Nice work. The pressure's on CJ.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01In the Saint-Saens work, Carnival Of The Animals,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05which piece of music is slowed down to represent the tortoises?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I have heard Carnival Of The Animals,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17but I didn't take much notice of it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Well, Nessun Dorma is quite slow, anyway.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30And I don't know much about the Offenbach piece.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Nope, don't know this one at all.
0:20:33 > 0:20:41I mean, I suppose if you slow down Bolero it sounds very plodding,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43as if something's going forward slowly.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I'm going to rule out Nessun Dorma, cos that's slow anyway.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54And I don't know the Offenbach piece. I don't know the music to it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Erm, all right, we'll try, simply cos it sounds plodding,
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I'll try Bolero.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04OK. We've got some heads-in-hands here. Go on, tell us why, Daphne.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's the can-can. Offenbach.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Ah, the Galop Infernal is... - The can-can.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- The can-can?- The hackneyed can-can tune that everybody knows.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. That one? OK. And it slows down?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Yes.- So they have... Those tortoises have an infernal galop.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21CJ, you're wrong.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25You got the wrong answer, and Gary, that's very good news for your team.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28You really are coming on strong now. Well done.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29CJ will not be in the final.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Do, please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Here we go with our final round,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-heads can't take part
0:21:39 > 0:21:41in this round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So, Kevin and Kim from Loose Connection,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So, Karen, are you ready? We haven't heard from you yet.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52You've saved yourself.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I'm just very relieved there are three of us in the final.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So, Karen, Jim, and Gary, you are playing to win £1,000.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Kevin, Chris, and Barry,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02you're playing for something that money can't buy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04The Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:22:09 > 0:22:10and you can confer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So, Karen, Jim, and Gary, the question is,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Loose Connection, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Going first has been quite successful so far,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23so we'll go first, please.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Here is your first question and very good luck to you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Which nursery rhyme features the lines,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35"You owe me five farthings", and "When will you pay me?"
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement's.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45"When will you pay me?" said the bells of Old Bailey.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- It's Oranges And Lemons, isn't it?- I don't know this one.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yeah, I'm sure it's that.- We're pretty sure it's Oranges And Lemons.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Oranges And Lemons is correct.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Well done.- Well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Eggheads, your question.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Mold is an administrative centre in an area of which part of the UK?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- It's North Wales, isn't it? - Mold? Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Er, Mold is in North Wales.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Mold is indeed in North Wales.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Well done.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16So, one each. They may get harder.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Can Queen Victoria Eat Cold Apple Pie
0:23:19 > 0:23:23is a mnemonic for remembering what?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Seven words in that and there was seven hills in Rome.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37And Q is Quirinal, isn't it? That's one of them.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I presume there were more than seven pharaohs of Egypt.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- How many labours of Heracles were there?- I don't know.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Was it the Five Labours of Hercules? Five Labours...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Is it the Seven Hills of Rome?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52There's definitely seven hills in Rome.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I lived in Rome for eight months.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Yeah, you lived in Rome!- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00There's the Apennine Way. Which was one of the A's.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02The Quirinal is where the parliament is, I think.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Do you think there's seven hills of Rome?- There is.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08There were seven hills... but there's Seven Labours of Hercules.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12I think there was. Well, what were Hercules' labours?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16What could be a hill beginning with a Q?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I think it's Quirinal or something.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Is there a part of Rome beginning with a Q?- Yeah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I'm sure it's where the parliament is.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I'm a bit worried about the labours.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I think it could be the Seven Labours, so it could be
0:24:29 > 0:24:33either one of the Hills of Rome or the Labours of Hercules. But...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Shall we go for a consensus then? What would you like?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- The hills?- I think it... Yeah. It's easier to make into a...- Yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42We think we'll go for the Hills of Rome
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and hope that there were seven of them.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Let's ask the Eggheads.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- EGGHEADS: Yes.- It was the right answer, well done.- Good.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Can you name the seven? You can? Go on.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Erm, well, doing the mnemonic.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Well, you know, there are two C's, anyway.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04It's Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07or "Sea-lian", Aventine, and Palatine.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Would that come in handy for any other career?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- No!- Tour guide?- Taxi driver?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- That's an idea!- Tour guide! Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Brilliant. OK, here's your question, Eggheads.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22What are the main ingredients of the French dish aligot?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Could you spell that, please? - A-L-I-G-O-T.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Aligot.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I've heard of it, but that doesn't necessarily help a great deal.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Would the French be likely to name a cheese and...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40as simple as mashed potato and cheese?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Aligot, aligot.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I have really no idea at all on this one.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Well, they tend to go in for rich stews and things.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I think we should make it braised beef and mushrooms.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57That would be my... I suppose my gut feel, just on what they would name.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02I can't imagine they would name a mashed potato and cheese dish.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Pommes de terre a la fromage or whatever.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10I think any pudding would tend to have a fancier name.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Sounds like a good solid stew to me.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Yeah, so I would tend to go for that on that basis as well.- OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Shall we, I think...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Well, we're not going to get anywhere, are we?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- No. I'm happy with that. - Yeah.- Don't know it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24No, not sure on this.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Could go all round the houses on this, but I think on balance
0:26:28 > 0:26:32we'll go for the stew idea, and go for braised beef and mushrooms.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Braised beef and mushrooms is your answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I mean, you've never had this dish? You haven't come across it?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Heard the name, but...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- You're wrong.- Ah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Mashed potato and cheese is the answer.- Ah!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- That's nagging.- This is interesting.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48They lost the last game
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and that's why you're on £1,000 here.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53And if you get this question right you will win that money,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and you'll be officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Here we go for £1,000.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02What type of creature is the kunekune from New Zealand?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Do you know?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I don't think it's a snake. It doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12As far as I know, I don't think New Zealand has snakes.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, that's true, yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16What's kunekune, is that like a...?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- I think it's a pig. - I think it could be.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23I recall seeing at a farm park or something, somewhere, seeing it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Is that from a native language then?
0:27:26 > 0:27:27From Maori, I suppose. Isn't it?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Yeah.- But I don't think it's a duck.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It does definitely ring a bell as a pig, a kunekune pig, to me.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Yep.- I think I've seen one.- You think you've seen one?- I think so.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Probably turn out to be a duck now and I won't have seen it!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Erm, a pig.- You think it's a pig?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well, pig came to mind as well. I don't think it's a snake.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49We'll guess with pig.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- You happy with that?- Yes. - Can we guess with pig, please?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Your answer is pig.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Well, you're right, it's not snake. - It's duck.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- It's not duck either, it's pig, you're right.- It's pig!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Congratulations!
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Well done! £1,000...
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Oh, delighted! - ..goes to Loose Connection.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It started in a difficult way, didn't it?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- You had two people knocked out. - Yeah.- Having three's good, isn't it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Your mum will be so pleased with that dossier.- I know!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- She'll be proud. - We can burn the dossiers.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Yeah, exactly.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30So, Jim's mum, well done. Great plan. Congratulations.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31The team have just won £1,000.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You've proved they can be beaten. Join us next time on Eggheads to see
0:28:37 > 0:28:41if a new team of challengers will be just as successful. Till then, goodbye.
