0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Cecil Street Conquerors.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team are all studying at the University of Glasgow
0:00:40 > 0:00:41and with the exception of Andrew,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44they have all, at one time or another,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46lived in - you've guessed it - Cecil Street.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 21 and I'm an accountancy and economics student.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Laura, I'm 22 and I'm studying business and English.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, my name's Neil, I'm 21 and I'm a management and politics student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, my name's Andrew, I'm 21 years old
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and I study law and economics.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, my name's Joe, I'm 21 years old and I'm a law student.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Alex and team, welcome. - Hi.- Thank you. Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12And the Cecil Street... Tell us about Cecil Street. What kind of a place is it?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Erm, it's a kind of residential area, next to the university,
0:01:16 > 0:01:17just off Byers Road.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22There's lots going on, lots happening, lots of students
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and it's a nice place to live.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We are filming in Glasgow so you are very much local.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- You've just wandered down here, have you?- Yeah, just a five-minute taxi journey. Not too far.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Trundled out of bed this morning. - It's nice to see you up and about.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So is Cecil Street noisy at night and stuff?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Do the residents, the older residents, complain?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Erm, well, I suppose towards the end of exams it can get a bit rowdy but generally...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47We have had a letter, as well.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- You had a letter?- We had a letter. - A letter, yeah.- Too rowdy one night.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- What, saying, "Please stop behaving like students"?- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Stop having so much fun. - Yeah. Good luck today.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06So, Cecil Street Conquerors,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last 15 games,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- which means £16,000 says you can't beat them today.- Good gracious.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18And if you win that, you can have a very noisy party
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- and get another letter. - Lots of letters.- We will.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25The first head to head battle is going to be on the subject of film and TV. Who would like this?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- OK, who wants TV? - It's one of you two, guess.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Laura?- I think Laura would probably be best on TV, yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- OK. Who am I going to take on? - Laura, it's going to be you against which Egghead?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's going to be me... Was it Kevin, you said?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Or Judith. What do you think? What do you reckon?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- You call.- Your choice. - Kevin. Take Kevin. - You get first choice.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'll take you on today, Kevin.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- OK!- All right.- That's fighting talk. Brilliant.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So Laura from the Cecil Street Conquerors versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, Laura, you're not originally from Glasgow. Is that right?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03No, I'm not, actually. I was born in Canada.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Yes, I can hear... But I can hear some Scottish in there as well, can't I?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Oh, yeah, there's a lot of Scottish, but I'll be speaking in your accent by the end of the show.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So you were born to Scottish parents in Canada?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17My Dad's Canadian and my mum's Welsh.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- So the whole family's over here? - Yes, we've been here for a few years.
0:03:20 > 0:03:27I moved back to Canada two years ago to go to university but I had to come back to Scotland.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Good luck in this round.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice questions.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35The subject, as you know, Laura, is film and TV and you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Thank you very much. I think I might go first this time.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Here we go. Whicker Island, depicting an island where the only inhabitants
0:03:46 > 0:03:49were clones of the interviewer Alan Whicker,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51was a sketch on which TV show?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Now, I think I'm going to take out French And Saunders.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I don't think that's the kind of sketch that they would do.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07It would be between Monty Python's Flying Circus
0:04:07 > 0:04:10but I feel it might be a little bit more modern, Alan Whicker,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12so I'm leaning towards The Fast Show
0:04:12 > 0:04:17but any answer I'd give would be a guess, unfortunately, this time round.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19The guys are going to be yelling at me
0:04:19 > 0:04:21but I think for this one, Jeremy,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'm going to have to go with a kind of educated guess
0:04:25 > 0:04:27and go for The Fast Show.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I'm sorry. You weren't even born, let alone on the right continent,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32when this all happened
0:04:32 > 0:04:34but he was sort of a travel journalist
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and I suppose being in the '70s, Kevin, would you say?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Or even before that, as well. - The '60s.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42For a long time. He was around for a long, long time.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So we go back to Monty Python's Flying Circus, I'm afraid.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh! My dad will be yelling at me.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50OK, Kevin, your first question.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Which musical instrument did Rowlf the Dog usually play
0:04:53 > 0:04:56on the Muppet Show?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm not... I'm not good on the Muppets, I have to say.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03The drums was Animal.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Somebody certainly played the piano and looked rather dog-like.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I think I'll say piano.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Piano is the right answer.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15It's good being able to recall a picture of a dog at the piano.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Laura, your question.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The Disney film The Aristocats is set in which city?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27The boys will be... Right. Er...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The Aristocats.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I'm going to take out London. I'm between Paris and New York.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Again, another guess. Erm...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm going to go for Paris, Jeremy.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Paris is the right answer. - Yes! Thank goodness, Jeremy!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'm so pleased for you. Well done.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It would have been easy to get that wrong.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Kevin, your question.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Who appeared in the children's TV show Worzel Gummidge
0:05:52 > 0:05:55as Saucy Nancy?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Saucy Nancy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Una Stubbs was certainly in it but I don't think it was her.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Una Stubbs was Worzel's love interest, wasn't she,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10and I don't think that was Saucy Nancy.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So I think Lorraine Chase was in it
0:06:14 > 0:06:18but when you have "Saucy", you have to think of Barbara Windsor, really.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I don't think it's Una Stubbs, so I'm torn between the other two.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And because it's Saucy Nancy,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I think even though I'm more sure that Lorraine Chase was in it
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'm actually going to go for Barbara Windsor.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Daphne, is he right?- Yes,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and Lorraine Chase was Clothes-peg Nancy?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Clothes-peg Nancy, Lorraine Chase, apparently, not Saucy.- Right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Saucy Nancy was Barbara Windsor. You're quite right. Well done.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's very difficult to get one past Kevin, Laura,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- so you need to get this one right, OK?- Yeah. Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55In which year did Ken Barlow marry Deirdre Langton in Coronation Street?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Do you know, Jeremy, just before we came in
0:07:01 > 0:07:04we were talking between the lot of us
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and we were saying how I know absolutely nothing
0:07:07 > 0:07:09about Coronation Street.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So this will be a guess.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I know that the two of them have been together for a very long time,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19the kind of central couple on Coronation Street,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23but I don't know whether they've been married for a long time
0:07:23 > 0:07:25or just together for a long time.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I'm just going to go right down the middle, I think,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29because it's a total guess
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and I think 1975 is a very long time ago, in my little life,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37and then I'll go for 1978.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41OK. '78. Coronation Street seems to come up a lot on quizzy things.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Unfortunately.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- It's not down the middle. It's '81, actually.- Oh, my.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Bad luck. So no way back because Kevin's got two points.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Kevin will be in the final round.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Please, both of you, return to the studio and rejoin your teams.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Bad luck, Laura.- Yes. Oh, well.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- A, your incredible youth, because you're, what, 22 or something?- Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- And B, the Canada dimension... - Oh, that definitely affected it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07..are a huge mitigation.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10As it stands, the challengers have lost a brain from the final round
0:08:10 > 0:08:12and the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14The next subject is music.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Which of the Cecil Street Conquerors would like this?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- So music...- Andrew's round, I think. - Andrew, do you want to do music?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yeah, OK. I guess that would be me, then, Jeremy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27OK, Andrew against which Egghead?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28It can't be Kevin.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Take your pick. It's up to you.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- I'll take Daphne.- Yeah?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Erm, I'll go for Daphne, please.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38OK, Andrew from the Cecil Street Conquerors versus Daphne...
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Feeling musical?- No. - From the Eggheads.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So, Andrew, you do actually love music, I gather?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I do really enjoy music, yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Tell us what sort. - All sorts, to be honest.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I'm quite old-fashioned and I still collect music in hard copy.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Is that opera and...? - Not so much!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- I suppose more contemporary in that respect.- OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Well, give us a flavour, come on.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Well, I love the Beatles. Buffalo Springfield, bands like that,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13punk music, as well.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Very eclectic, really, but I suppose not so much opera or classical.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20All right, so three questions on music in turn.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Andrew, you can choose the first or second set.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Erm, I guess I'll go first.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Here we go and good luck.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Which British singer received six Grammy awards in 2012,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34including song of the year?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Erm... I'm fairly... I'm sure it wasn't Patrick Wolf
0:09:41 > 0:09:44because he seems too obscure.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Although Gary Barlow's big just now with Take That,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I wouldn't think they won that many
0:09:49 > 0:09:55and since Adele has had such a big couple of years
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm going to have to go for Adele on this one.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Adele is the right answer. Well done, Andrew.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07OK, Daphne. Poison Arrow was a 1982 UK top ten single by which group?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15ABC.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18ABC is the right answer. Was that just guessing or what?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Yes. I'm so sorry. - It was your lucky dip.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Lucky Dip Daphne on the roll again.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26OK, here we go, Andrew.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31In 1977, Rod Stewart had a UK number one with a double A-side
0:10:31 > 0:10:34of I Don't Want To Talk About It and which other song?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- What was the year, sorry?- 1977.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I really couldn't say for certain but the song that I'm most familiar with
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and which I believe to be the most famous
0:10:49 > 0:10:51would probably be First Cut Is The Deepest
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and on that basis I will go for that one.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58You're absolutely right. First Cut Is The Deepest is the song.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm thinking, when we ask - forgive me -
0:11:01 > 0:11:05but when we ask 21-year-olds about double A-sides,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08it must completely baffle you. "What is that?"
0:11:08 > 0:11:12OK, Daphne. "The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14"the dashboard's genuine leather"
0:11:14 > 0:11:16are lines from a song in which musical?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21SHE CHUCKLES
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Yes, it's Surrey With The Fringe On Top from Oklahoma!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Oklahoma! is correct, Daphne, well done.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Never gets one wrong on musicals.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34OK, two each, so get this right and you may topple her, Andrew.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39What type of instrument is the Middle Eastern darbuka?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Erm, I really don't have a clue on this one.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50I'm just going to guess out of the blue on this and go for flute.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's not flute. Anyone know on your team?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Violin?- No, it's drum.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- OK.- Drum is the answer.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Daphne, if you get this one right you're in the final round.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03The jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi is perhaps best known
0:12:03 > 0:12:08for the music he composed for the TV shows featuring which cartoon characters?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Guaraldi is spelt G-UARALDI.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Which actually doesn't help at all.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Erm...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Another guess coming up.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- The Smurfs.- It's not the Smurfs. Amazingly, you've guessed wrong.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32The unlucky dip effect.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- The answer is Peanuts.- Oh! - So two each.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And we go to Sudden Death, Andrew. You've held her off successfully.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It's harder now because I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Duke, Abacab and Three Sides Live
0:12:46 > 0:12:50were hit albums for which group in the early 1980s?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Erm... I'm really not sure about that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I'm trying to think of a band that would have had a few hit albums at the start of the '80s.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Erm...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Perhaps REO Speedwagon.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09No, not REO Speedwagon, although good idea.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- It's actually more obvious. Genesis. - Oh!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15And they got to number one, number one, number two
0:13:15 > 0:13:17in the early 80s, so they did well with them.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20OK, Daphne, you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23The world-famous trumpeter Hugh Masekela was born in which country?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- South Africa. - South Africa is the right answer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Johannesburg, 1939.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Well done, Daphne. You've taken the round. Sorry, Andrew.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- That's all right.- You've been knocked out of the final round.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42So let's see what happens next. If you come back to us, we'll find out.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47So as it stands the challengers have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52But do not panic. The whole of Cecil Street right now is cheering you on.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57OK? The next subject is history. So who's the history student?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Is that you?- Is that going to be me? - I think it's you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03As I'm the only person who's studied any form of history, it's probably me.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Neil against which Egghead?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Erm, I think I'd like go with Dave, please.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12All right, so Neil from the Cecil Street Conquerors on history
0:14:12 > 0:14:14against Dave the Egghead.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Please, if you can, both of you, leave the studio and go to the question room.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'll ask each of you three questions on history in turn.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Neil, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I think I'll pick what the rest of team has done and go first, thanks.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And good luck. Neil, in which year after World War Two
0:14:34 > 0:14:36did meat rationing end in Britain?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well, I can't imagine meat rationing finished
0:14:44 > 0:14:47a year straight after the end of the war in '46,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52so I'd be kind of swayed towards the answer of '54 more
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but I'm wondering if that's even too soon after the end of the war.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59No, I think I'll go with my gut feeling and I'll pick 1954.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Yeah, it really was '54. Well done. Well done.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Dave, in 1932, which aviator set a new record
0:15:06 > 0:15:10for flying solo from London to Cape Town?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Right, erm, I'm going to rule out Douglas Bader
0:15:17 > 0:15:21but both the female aviators, Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnson...
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Just thinking about the dates. I'll go Amy Johnson.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yeah, Amy Johnson's quite right, Dave. Well done.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Back to you, Neil.
0:15:31 > 0:15:38Which English diplomat dedicated the years from 1598 until his death in 1613
0:15:38 > 0:15:41to restoring a library at Oxford University?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48The name that's standing out is Thomas Bodley
0:15:48 > 0:15:52because I think it's the Bodleian Library, possibly.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I don't recognise the other two names at all.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Again, I'll go with my gut instinct and say Thomas Bodley.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Bang on. Thomas Bodley it was.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08In British history, the 1683 Rye House Plot was an alleged plan
0:16:08 > 0:16:13to ambush King Charles II as he returned from attending what type of event?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm going to go ship launch.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I'm not... any kind of conviction at all but I'm just...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'm going to think about that because Rye House...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'll go ship launch.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Ship launch is wrong, actually. Horse race is the answer. - Right, fair enough.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So you have a chance here.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Neil, if you get this one right, you've knocked Dave out.- Yep.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44In the 1920s and 1930s Augusto Cesar Sandino led a rebellion
0:16:44 > 0:16:47against the US military occupation of which country?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm really not sure.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Panama, with the canal and stuff, has always been a very disputed territory,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02so I'm wondering whether Panama might be a logical option.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Erm...
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I've got no real reason to pick the other two, so I'm going to say Panama.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Panama is the wrong answer. Any Eggheads know?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Nicaragua.- Nicaragua. - Nicaragua is the right answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So you just missed out on a chance to book your place in the final
0:17:15 > 0:17:17but let's see what happens now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Dave's third question. You've got to get this right.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22In Ancient Rome, what was a congius?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Congius.- CONGIUS, Dave.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35I'm going to go - again, no kind of certainty at all - a liquid measure.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Liquid measure is the right answer. Nicely done.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Well, a fluke. - You had something there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43There was something at the back of my mind
0:17:43 > 0:17:46but this is the thing with Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48that some things do stick and some things don't
0:17:48 > 0:17:53and I'm just always worried that I've gone the wrong way.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Anyway, liquid measure is right, so we got to Sudden Death, Neil.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The Battle of the Standard, that took place in 1138,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06is sometimes named after which Yorkshire town
0:18:06 > 0:18:08that is just south of the battlefield?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Never heard of the battle and geography's not a strong point.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Erm, a Yorkshire town.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm really not sure. I'm going to have to pass.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I don't have any clue, sorry.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Do you want to guess? - No, sorry, thanks. I'll pass.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The answer is Northallerton.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Over to you, Dave. If you get this one right, you will be in the final.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34By which treaty signed in July 1713
0:18:34 > 0:18:38did Spain cede Gibraltar to Britain?
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I'm going to think about me treaties.
0:18:40 > 0:18:431713.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49So... I think that treaty was signed in Utrecht.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53The Treaty of Utrecht is the right answer, Dave,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55and well done, you are in the final round.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Neil, he just got you there.- Yeah. - And you've been knocked out as well.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So if you come back to us and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08So, as it stands, the challengers have lost three.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Alex, any change of plan?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12No, we've discussed our tactics
0:19:12 > 0:19:17and I think we know, depending on what comes up, who's going to go and who we're going to take.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You've lost three, the Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It would be good to get at least one out.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24The last subject is arts and books.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Who would like this?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- This was our nightmare situation, Jeremy.- It's a nightmare situation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Erm...- Who do you think is stronger? - I'm not sure who's better at arts and books.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34It's really a toss up, isn't it?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38You've got an accountant and a lawyer, here, that's what you've got, isn't it?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You've probably spent more time reading.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I guess it would have to be me. - Are you going to go for it?- Yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Joe? OK. Which Egghead? You can have Judith or Chris.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Again, another toss-up. - Just choose.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Either will be strong. - I'll take on Judith, please.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54So Joe from the Cecil Street Conquerors
0:19:54 > 0:19:56versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Please take your positions in the question room.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02So here we are, up against Judith in arts and books.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and, Joe, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Erm, ladies first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Judith!- Hello.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19What is the term for the extinguishing of all the stage lights in a theatre
0:20:19 > 0:20:22to create a dramatic effect of darkness?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Erm, well, I think it must be the obvious one - blackout.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Blackout is the right answer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Joe, over to you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38What term is used for the vertical margin of white space
0:20:38 > 0:20:40where two pages of a book meet?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Mm, I'm not entirely sure, Jeremy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I guess it would have to be a guess.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Erm... I think I'll go for drainpipe.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's gutter, I'm sorry to say.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Back to you, Judith.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Established in Paris in the 1860s, what was the Academie Julian?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08There's the Julliard, publishers.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Erm, I think it's art school. - I thought you were going publishing.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18You're right, anyway. Art school is correct, Judith. Two out of two.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You need to get this one right, now, Joe,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23otherwise she's gone through to the final.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27The English painter Robert Bevan is best known for his paintings of which creatures?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Again, Jeremy, I'm not entirely sure.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38I think I may go for horses but again, it's just a complete guess.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Horses is correct, Joe. Well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42You're still in there.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45However, if Judith gets this one right, she's in the final round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Who wrote the adventure story Five Weeks In A Balloon?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well, I don't think it would be Walter Scott.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Jules Verne is the kind of obvious answer
0:21:58 > 0:22:03because he writes about being in submarines and that kind of thing.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Five Weeks In A Balloon. Oh...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I... Jules Verne.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Jules Verne is the right answer... - Oh!- ..Judith.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Well done. Three out of three on arts and books.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And, Joe, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So Judith will be in the final.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Come back to us, rejoin your teams and we will play the final round.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It is time for the final round, which as always is general knowledge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33But those of you who lost your head to heads can't take part in this round,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38so Laura, Neil, Andrew and Joe from the Cecil Street Conquerors,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44OK, Alex. You are all alone now.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Yeah, I mean, I think it was unfortunate that a few of them couldn't make it through.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Obviously, Andrew and Neil came close
0:22:52 > 0:22:56but I guess I'll just have to try and get through it myself, now.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So how do you feel, facing the Eggheads in all their majesty?
0:22:59 > 0:23:05Erm... a little bit apprehensive but I suppose there's a chance there could be some confusion
0:23:05 > 0:23:07on the bench over there, so...
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Let's see. That's what we need.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12You're playing to win Cecil Street Conquerors £16,000.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne and Chris,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25The questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer -
0:23:25 > 0:23:27not much use to you, I know.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32So, Alex, the question is can your one brain beat the Eggheads' five?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Erm, I think I'll go second.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Eggheads, what beauty and talent contest is held each year
0:23:46 > 0:23:49in a town in County Kerry in Ireland?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Rose of Tralee. - Rose of Tralee.- Yes, absolutely.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That's the Rose of Tralee, Jeremy.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Rose of Tralee is correct.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08OK, your question. Alex, what was Jo Brand's job before she became a comedian?
0:24:13 > 0:24:18OK. Erm, I can't say I know the answer for sure for this.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24I'd imagine electrician wouldn't be the job she had
0:24:24 > 0:24:27before she turned to comedy.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Erm... I think I'll go with psychiatric nurse.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Erm... Yeah, I'll go with psychiatric nurse.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39You've got it right. Psychiatric nurse is the right answer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41So back we go to the Eggheads for your second question.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Which nickname was coined for Prince William
0:24:44 > 0:24:47during his RAF training?
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Bungalow Bill was the Beatles song from the White Album.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It would be one of the other two, I would imagine.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- I can't imagine them calling him Willy Wonka.- I can't see that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Billy the Fish is from Viz.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Doesn't he work on the rescue helicopters to fish people out of the...?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- But I don't know. That's purely... - We don't know, do we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Billy the Fish sounds most likely, so what are we saying here?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- Billy the Fish?- Yes, to my mind. - It seems to be the favourite.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, we're not too sure, Jeremy, but we'll go with Billy the Fish,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22the footballing fish from Viz.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's to do with the Wales name.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28William Wales he calls himself in the forces.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- So it's Willy Wonka? - No, it's Billy the Fish.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- It is Billy the Fish! - LAUGHTER
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I like the idea that it's fishing people out of the sea
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- but it wasn't that. - Nothing to do with that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Right answer, wrong reason.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, that's a shame, Alex, because they were teetering for a second
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and there's £16,000 to play for. Here's your question, Alex.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50The Cheshire town of Macclesfield is particularly associated
0:25:50 > 0:25:54with the historical manufacture of which textile?
0:25:56 > 0:26:02OK. Erm... Well, I've not even visited the area at all.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I've barely been to England.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10Wool, obviously, would be manufactured in area where there's more sheep.
0:26:10 > 0:26:17Erm, silk, I imagine is something that's manufactured abroad more.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Perhaps cotton, as well.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Erm, I'm actually going with wool.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22I think I'll go with wool.
0:26:22 > 0:26:29Erm, again, it's not like there's a lot of knowledge of textiles
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- but I think I'll go with wool.- OK.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Is it the right answer? - No, it's silk.- Silk.- Silk.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Silk is the right answer, so you've fallen behind
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and if the Eggheads get this one right, the contest is over.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43What is the more common name for the St Hubert hound?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49St Hubert was the patron saint of hunting.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- What?- St Hubert is the patron saint of hunting.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Yeah.- Which would seem to imply...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58What was your initial reaction? Bloodhound?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Only because of that. It's not something I've heard.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I've not heard of a St Hubert hound.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04If St Hubert was the patron saint of hunting,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07the only hunting dog there is the bloodhound.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Yeah.- Mm.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Are they hunting dogs or more tracking dogs? That's the thing.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- What are we saying, chaps? - Greyhounds are hounds. They all hunt.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- I like bloodhound but there's no backing to it.- Same here, really.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- St Hubert.- Simply because...
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Bloodhound?- Bloodhound.- It may not have to have been used by hunters.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29It could just be by association with Hubert.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- We'll go with bloodhound, shall we? - Go with bloodhound.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- We'll go with bloodhound. - Your answer is bloodhound.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38If you've got this right, you've taken the contest
0:27:38 > 0:27:42because Alex got one wrong earlier.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Well done, Eggheads, you've got three out of three. Bloodhound is correct.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48And we say congratulations. You have won.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- It's hard on your own. - It's tough, yeah.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Because you can't discuss it. - Exactly.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, I tried to discuss it with myself but...
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- I feel I want to join but I can't. - Yeah, it's unfortunate.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Thanks for coming in, guys - great to see you students
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- and not too much noise at 1am in Cecil Street.- We'll try.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Commiserations to the challengers.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Their winning streak is looking quite impressive.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23That does mean that the Cecil Street Conquerors won't be going home with the £16,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34£17,000 says they don't.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Till then, goodbye.
