These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
are Handel With Care. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
This team are all members of the 130-strong | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
Southampton Choral Society. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
I feel a song coming on. Let's meet them. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Hello. I'm Rosaleen. I'm 66 and I'm a gardener. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Hello. My name's Diana. I'm 61 and I'm a librarian. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Hello. I'm Clive. I'm 64 and I'm a retired librarian. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Hello. I'm Steve. I'm 57 and I'm an electronics engineer. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello. I'm Jim. I'm 62 years old and an arts administrator. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-Rosaleen and team, welcome. -Hello. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
And you've got your finery on here. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Yes. This is our official uniform for concerts. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
OK, great. Well, it's wonderful to see you. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
I know you're a spread of tenors and altos and basses and what else? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-What have I missed out? -Soprano top, then altos, then tenors | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
-and, at the end, a bass. -So you can sing for us now? -Yup. -Could you? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-Would you... -We don't get enough singing in the studio. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-None of them can sing and I can't sing. -All right, then. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-We will. -Thank you. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
ALL SING: # Hallelujah, hallelujah | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
# Hallelujah, hallelujah Halle-lu-jah | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
# Hallelujah, hallelujah | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
# Hallelujah, hallelujah Halle-lu-jah. # | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
-APPLAUSE -Wonderful! Thank you. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
That was so great. Do you quiz together? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-I feel I'm almost ruining the tone by saying that. -We don't at all. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-You don't? -This is our first attempt. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
OK. Well, let's see how we do. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Every day there is £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our Challengers. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
So, Handel With Care, the Eggheads have won just the last game, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
so that means £2,000 says you can't beat them today. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
First subject is...Arts & Books. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-Oh. That's lucky. -Right up your street, I reckon. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-Arts & Books. -That's going to be you? -That's Diana. -Yes. -Diana? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-I'm quite happy with that. Yes, thank you. -OK. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-You're one of the librarians? -Yes. -OK. Against which Egghead? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Ah. Erm... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Do you think Daphne? -Daphne's quite good with her books. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-What do you think? -What about Chris? -Shall we do Chris? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
OK, I challenge Chris. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
All right, so it's Diana from Handel With Care against Chris. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
So, Diana, you have been a librarian for a long time? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Yes, I've been... It's 25 years now, I think, yes. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
And I'm just about to retire, so that's almost it. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Must be great to spend a life surrounded by books. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Oh, it's wonderful. I've always been a reader, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
and I absolutely love helping people to find the right book, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
so that's been the perfect job. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Great. Good luck in this round. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Subject is Arts & Books. Diana, would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Here we go. Good luck to you. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting For Godot, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
was originally written in which language? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Now, he lived for a long time in France, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
so I'm going to say that was French. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
French is absolutely right. Well done. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Chris, your question. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
The fearsome Miss Trunchbull | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
is a character in which Roald Dahl book? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Oh, aye, she runs the orphanage, doesn't she, in Matilda. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Matilda is correct. OK, back to you, Diana. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
Which painter was revealed in 2012 | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
to have turned down honours five times in his lifetime, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
including an OBE in 1955, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
a CBE in 1961, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
and a knighthood in 1968? Is it... | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
I'm not at all sure about this. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Oh, dear. Er... | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
This is an absolute guess, but I'm going to go for Graham Sutherland. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
Let's see if your colleagues know. Anyone? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-I would have gone for Lowry. -Lowry. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
-Any Eggheads? -ALL: Lowry. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Yeah, Lowry's the answer, Diana. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
OK. Chris, your question to take the lead. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Which fictional detective features in the play Black Coffee, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
first performed in the 1930s? Is it... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Ah, well, I'm pretty well up on Sherlock Holmes, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
and he's never been in a play called Black Coffee. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Philip Marlowe's a hard-boiled film noir-type private eye in Los Angeles. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
It's unlikely to be him. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
But Cafe Noir, Black Coffee, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
is the sort of title in which you might find Hercule Poirot, | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
so that's who I'll go with, Poirot. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
I'm an Agatha Christie fan but I've never heard of this. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Hercule Poirot is the right answer. Well done, Chris. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
He takes the lead. So you need to get this one right, Diana. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-Oh dear, right. -Here we go. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Which French author wrote his own version of the Robin Hood story | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
called Robin Hood The Outlaw in 1863? Was it... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Now, again, this is not something I know, but, erm... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Alexandre Dumas did lots of adventurous swashbuckling stories, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
so it's quite likely to be him. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
I think I'm going to go for Alexandre Dumas. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Alexandre Dumas is the right answer, Diana. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Two out of three. Will Chris win the round? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
A number of paintings bought from the estate of John Julius Angerstein | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
formed the nucleus of the collection of which art institution? Is it... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
Well, the Royal Academy have got their own collection. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
National Gallery's been going longer. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
I'd say the National Portrait Gallery. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-No, it's the National Gallery. -Is it? -Yes, it is. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
So you're equal after three questions. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Diana, we go to Sudden Death. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
Gets a bit harder, because I don't give you alternatives. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-Right. -Here's your question. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
Which best-selling Italian author and philosopher | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
wrote the children's books The Bomb And The General, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
The Three Astronauts, and The Gnomes of Gnu? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Oh. Well, I'm... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
I'm quite up in children's books, but not in Italian ones. Erm... | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
I'm going to just have to think of an Italian philosopher and author. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:41 | |
Erm... | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
Italo Svevo? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-No, Umberto Eco. -Ah. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-Who wrote... What was it, The Name Of The Rose, his famous one? -Yes. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
OK, Chris. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
Confessions Of An English Opium Eater | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
is the best-known work by which 19th-century essayist? | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
If you get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
-Thomas De Quincy. -Thomas De Quincy is right, Chris. Well done. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
You've triumphed. Sorry, Diana. Well played, though. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
You won't be in the final. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
from the Final Round. The Eggheads haven't lost any brains yet. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
The next subject is Geography. Who would like this? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-Geography. -Who's the traveller? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
-Rosaleen? -Rosaleen or Steve? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-I'll do it. -Before you go, Rosie, choose an Egghead. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Oh, yes. -Can't be Chris. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Oh. Oh, Barry. -Barry, yeah. Yes. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-Yes. -Barry, please. -OK. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
So, Rosaleen from Handel With Care | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
versus Barry from the Eggheads on Geography. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Rosaleen. Geography. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Three questions against Barry, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
and you can choose the first or the second set. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Here we go. Good luck. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
In the United States, which commodity is sometimes | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
referred to as Texas tea? Is it... | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Texas tea? Well... | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
I think Texas is particularly famous for oil, isn't it? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
Or is that just too obvious? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
I'll go with oil. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
-And oil is quite right. Well done. -Oh, good. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Barry, your question. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
What is the official monetary unit of Monaco? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Is it... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
Ah. Well, it won't be the Lira. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Have they still stayed on the Franc or have they gone into the Euro? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
No, it... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
It must be the Euro. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Is Monaco in... It's in France, isn't it? It's independent? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-It's the South of France, yes. -But is it part of France? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
No. It's an independent principality. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Independent principality. You're right, anyway. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
It's the Euro. Could have been a nasty one, that. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
OK. On to you, Rosaleen. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
The town of Chepstow is located on which river? Is it... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Oh, dear. Well, I'm pretty sure it's not the Trent, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
cos that's up North somewhere. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
The Witham? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
I do go to that part of the country sometimes to see relatives. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
And I've certainly sat beside the Wye in Hereford. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
I guess it must be the Wye. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
-Lovely stuff. It is the Wye. -Ooh, great. -Good. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Now, on to Barry. Let's see if he falls behind. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
The headland called Dr Syntax's Head | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
is a feature of which county? Barry, is it... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Ah. I have heard of this headland | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
but I'm not quite sure where it is. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
I don't believe it's in Kent. I think it's further south-west. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
Is it Dorset or Cornwall? I'm going to go for Dorset. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Let's see if your colleagues know. Is it Dorset? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-Cornwall. -Cornwall. Whereabouts is it? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-Near Land's End, isn't it? -Near Land's End, Barry. -Oh. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Cornwall is the answer. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
So you're in the lead, Rosaleen. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Get this one right, you've knocked him out. OK, here we go. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
Apia, spelt A-P-I-A, is the capital of which country? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
Oh. You're going to say, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
I know it's something...some Pacific island, isn't it? Oh, dear. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
Do you know, I've been sitting with an atlas every evening for weeks. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
I even printed a list of capital cities out. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
But there were so many, I can't really remember them all. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
Apia. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
Oh, dear. I don't think it's Tonga. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
I think it's Samoa. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-Samoa is the right answer. Well done. -ALL: Well done! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Rosaleen, real Daphne-style performance. It's a compliment. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-You're in the Final Round. -Wonderful! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-I'm sorry, Barry. -You knocked out Barry. -I'm sorry, Barry. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
CHALLENGERS LAUGH | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
He doesn't mind. He can take it. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Handel With Care, as it stands, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
you've lost one brain from the Final Round. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
The Eggheads have also lost a brain now. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
Next subject is Film & Television. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
So who would like this? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
ALL: Ooh. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
-Film & TV. -It's up to you, now. -Oh, my God. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
-None of us wanted to do this, did we? -No. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Well, it was quite high up on my list. I can go and do it? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-You're pretty good on film, aren't you? -No. -Yeah. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-Hopeless on TV soaps. -You might get some TV. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Clive. All right. This is the moment. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
And against which Egghead? Who would you like to take on and knock out? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
Uh, David. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave is what we call him here, but that's fine. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-Oh, well. -Clive from Handel With Care | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads on Film & TV. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
OK. Good luck in this round. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
I'll ask you three questions on Film & Television in turn. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Clive, you can choose the first or second set. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
I think I'll go for the first, Jeremy. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Here we go. Best of luck. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
The Foretelling, set in the Wars of the Roses, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
was the title of the first broadcast episode of which 1980s TV comedy? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
Ah. Now, I remember Blackadder | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
did start off in the 14th century. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
So, yeah. I'm going to go for Blackadder, Jeremy. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
Blackadder is the right answer, Clive. Well done. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
The TV show, Sex And The City, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
is mainly set in which US city? Is it... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Again, the wife's responsible for my knowledge of this. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Erm, always on when I want to watch golf. Erm, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
-but it's New York. -New York is right. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
I've got the same situation at home, yep. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
I've seen all of them twice. Clive. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Frank Burnside, played by Christopher Ellison, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
was a long-running character in which TV series? Is it... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Hmm. Well, I don't know this. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
I've watched The Bill a long time ago. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
I've watched Waking The Dead a couple of times, | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
and I regret to say I never watch Cracker, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
so this is going to be a complete guess. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
Most people have been in The Bill at one time or another. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
So I'm going to go for The Bill. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
That's very good logic. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
Again, quizzers' logic. You're right. The Bill it is. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
OK, Dave. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
What was the name of the snail in the UK version | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
of the children's TV series The Magic Roundabout? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Childhood memories. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Not normally good on children's TV. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
But if I go through, it's Dylan the rabbit and Ermintrude the cow | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
and it's Brian the snail. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Brian the snail is right. So two each. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
You're both playing well. Here we go, Clive. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
The 1948 film, The Emperor Waltz, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
provided the first of 35 Oscar nominations for which designer? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
I've got a feeling Anthony Powell is a novelist. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Edith Head is a name I know but I'm not quite sure how. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
Again, it's going to be a little bit of a guess, I think. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
I'm going to go for Edith Head. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-Eggheads, is that correct? -ALL: Yeah. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-Yeah, you're right, Clive. You played very well. -Well done, Clive. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Real quizzer. OK, so, if you get this wrong, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-Dave, you're going to be out. -Yep. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
The 1957 film, The Prince And The Showgirl, | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
starring Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
is based on a play by which writer? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Oh, it's...it could be any of them. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
I do not know. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
I'm going to go George Bernard Shaw. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
-DIANA: -Ooh! -And I think I'll be back here in the Sin Bin. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
-Team, Challengers? -It's Rattigan. -It is Rattigan. Well done, Diana. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
-Well done. -Terence Rattigan is the answer, not Shaw. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
So, Clive, well done. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
You're in the Final Round. Very well played. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Very well played indeed. This is getting interesting. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
the Eggheads have lost two brains from the all-important Final Round. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
And here we go with the last subject, which is Music. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
The omens are good, here. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
Who's going to do Music? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:04 | |
-There you go. -We've got two left. It's one of you two. -Steve or Jim. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-I'm afraid Steve. -It's me, is it? -He's got more pop music knowledge. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-Steve's got the short straw. -Yeah. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
-What do you think? -Steve? OK. -He's better at General Knowledge.. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
Looks like it's going to be me. Not my strongest subject, but... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
OK. Don't get up just yet. Steve, against which Egghead? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
-Right. So who shall we go for then? -Could be Daphne or Kevin. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
-Daphne. -Daphne? -Daphne, we think it's you, please. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
Oh, right. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Steve from Handel With Care versus Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
OK. Good luck in Music. Do you want to go first or second, Steve? | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
I'll go for first, please. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Here we go. Good luck. A recording of which popular song | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
became a UK top 10 single for Cat Stevens in the early 1970s? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
OK. Well, this is taking me back to my sixth form. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
And definitely not Lord Of The Dance. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
All Things Bright And Beautiful, I'm not sure if anybody sang that, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
that I can remember, but Morning Has Broken was Cat Stevens. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
Morning Has Broken is the right answer. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Daphne, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
what was the title of Maria McKee's 1990 UK number 1 single? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:25 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Um... | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
I think the only one... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
I think I've heard of is Show Me Heaven? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-Can you sing it? -No! No. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
I could clear the studio. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Show Me Heaven is the right answer. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Steve, over to you. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
Which English composer's operatic version of A Midsummer Night's Dream | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
premiered in 1960? Is it... | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
OK. Edward Elgar was quite a bit earlier than that. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
Not sure about Harrison Birtwistle | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
but Benjamin Britten does sound... I know he's written some operas. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
So I'll go for Benjamin Britten. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Benjamin Britten is correct. Playing well. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
Team is playing very well. Daphne. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
What is the real first name of the blues musician known as BB King? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
Crumbs. Erm... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-Stanley. -No. -No? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
I thought they'd have put one starting with B in there | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
to throw you off the scent even more. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-It doesn't begin with B and it's not Stanley. It's Riley. -Oh, right. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Riley King. You're in the lead, Steve. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
If you get it right, you've knocked out an Egghead, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
then we'll be playing four against two in the Final Round. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Which American singer's UK hits include | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
See You Again, Seven Things, and Party In The USA? Is it... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
Ooh, OK. I know my children would know this. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
Miley Cyrus is quite recent. Erm... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Carrie Underwood I've heard of. LeAnn Rimes, er, I've not heard of. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
And I didn't recognise any of the subjects, the titles of the songs, | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
so I won't ask you to repeat them. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
I'll go with Miley Cyrus. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
The answer is Miley Cyrus, Steve. Well done. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
You're in the Final Round. Playing well, you Handel With Cares. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
Daphne, you've been knocked out on Music. No musicals, you see. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
-No. -That's what happens when you don't get your musicals. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Please, both of you, come back to the studio, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
and we will play that Final Round. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
This is interesting. This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
It is time for the Final Round | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Those of you who lost your Head-to-Heads | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
So, Diana from Handel With Care. Sorry. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
And also Barry, Daphne and Dave from the Eggheads. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Would you please leave the studio? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
So Rosaleen, Clive, Steve and Jim, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
you are playing to win Handel With Care £2,000. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Chris and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
the Eggheads' reputation, which has been rather battered lately. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
So, Rosaleen, Clive, Steve and Jim, | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
the question is, can your four brains overwhelm the Eggheads' two? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-And would you like to go first or second? -First, please, Jeremy. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
OK. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
Good luck, Handel With Care. Here we go. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
What name is often given to an academic examination in which | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
questions and answers are provided in spoken form? Is it... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
-I'm almost certain... -It's Viva Voce. -Definitely. -Viva Voce. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-Or a Viva. -Viva Voce. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Viva Voce or Vi-va Voce. What do we call it? We just call it a Viva? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-ALL: Yeah, Viva. -Viva. OK. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
That's correct. Well done. First one to you. Eggheads. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-Looking a bit lonely, the two of you there. -We'll survive. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
We haven't had this many knocked out for a while. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-It's a while. -You were on a great streak, then it came to an end. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Oh, dearie, dearie me. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
What are bobby pins normally used to hold in place? Is it... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
-Hair. -It's hair, isn't it? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
Yep. They're used to hold hair. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Hair is the right answer. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
The questions may get harder. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
The fashion designer Julien MacDonald was born in which town? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
-He's a MacDonald, so... -MacDonald is Scottish. -MacDonald sounds Scottish. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-Do any of you know anything about this? -No, I'm sorry. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-I don't know anything. -We'll have to just extract from the question, | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
MacDonald is Scottish. Does that help? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Well, it might do. Might be the wrong answer. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
I think it's unlikely Merthyr Tydfil... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-being fashion. -It's not the hotbed of fashion. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-I'm sorry, I don't know anything about fashion. -Why Motherwell? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
I only wear wellingtons and dirty anoraks, you see. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-Yeah. I'm not a fashion man at all. -No. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Motherwell sounds a bit more romantic, doesn't it? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-Yeah, let's go for Motherwell. -Yes. -We don't know. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
-All right. -Yes. -We don't know, but we'll go for Motherwell. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
OK. Motherwell is your answer. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
Anyone know about this fellow, Julien Macdonald? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
I think he's Welsh. I think it's Merthyr Tydfil. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
I'm not certain but I think it's Merthyr Tydfil. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-Merthyr Tydfil is the answer. -OK. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Eggheads. Your question. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
In the human body, the hormone glucagon is formed | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
in which glandular organ? Is it... | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
-The pancreas is insulin. -Yeah. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
Liver's not really a glandular organ. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Well, no, it is a gland. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
And the liver has more... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-components, in that sense, than any other organ, virtually. -Yeah. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
Lots of things come from the liver. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
The liver performs so many functions. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
-But it could... I don't think it's pancreas. -No. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
That's insulin. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-Spleen doesn't really sound right to me. -No. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-I'd... I don't know it. -Well, if the liver's multi-functional, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-it's probably the liver. -I don't know it, but I'd say liver. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-But I don't know it. -I don't either, so we'll go with it. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
We don't know it, but we'll go for the liver on the basis | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-that more things happen there. -Good logic, but wrong. -OK. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-Pancreas is the answer. -Right. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
Third question. You're still in the game. One point each. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
They've let you off the hook there. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
Do try and get this one right. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
Businessman Dave Whelan took control of which football club in 1995? | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Is it... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
-I'm almost 100% certain, but we'd better discuss. -I think we had. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-What do we think? -I think it's Wigan. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
That would've been the time of Quinn and so on at Sunderland. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:53 | |
And Fulham is the Harrods man. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-I'm sure it's Wigan. -I would've thought Sunderland, but... -No. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
-Are you sure? -I would put money on Whelan. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-So that would be... -Right, OK. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
-It is putting money on it. -Yeah. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
-Wigan. Final answer. -Wigan is your answer? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
-Wigan is the right answer. -Yes. -Well done. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Dave Whelan, Wigan. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
So, Eggheads. You get this one wrong, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
the contest is over and you've lost. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
In 1982, who did Arthur Scargill succeed | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
as President of the National Union Of Mineworkers? | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
-Joe Gormley. -The others weren't involved with the miners. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
-No. -That was Joe Gormley. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
Joe Gormley is the right answer. So you're equal after three questions. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
We go to Sudden Death. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives. Jackpot, £2,000. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
Here we go. Which member of the Monty Python team | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
made his debut as an opera director | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
with a production of The Damnation Of Faust | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
at the English National Opera in 2011? | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
-Now... -OK. -The Monty Python team. -2011. -Cleese? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
-Idle. -Chapman's dead. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
-Terry Gilliam is the most likely. -Idle could be. Gilliam. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
-Because he's a film director. -Yes. The Damnation Of Faust. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
That could be Gilliam. Or, of course... | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-Michael Palin. -No, the other one's Jones. -Jones is an intellectual. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
-Yeah. -He does sort of ancient stuff. -And he did... -But Gilliam... | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-Was he an original Python? -It must be Gilliam, because he's so visual. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
-I would think so, yeah. -Yes. We'll go for Gilliam. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
-I'm happy with that. -Terry Gilliam. -Terry Gilliam is the right answer. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Good stuff. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
Eggheads, you're under pressure. Get this wrong, you will have lost. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
Which TV personality, who presented the Eurovision Song Contest | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
several times in the 1960s and '70s, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
was born the daughter of an Italian Marquis in Florence in 1926? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
-That's Katie Boyle. -Yeah, Katie Boyle. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
We think she was the most frequent presenter of Eurovision | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
at that period. Katie Boyle. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
Katie Boyle is right. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
She was born Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali di Francavilla. | 0:24:55 | 0:25:01 | |
-And she changed her name to Katie Boyle. -Yeah. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Lovely Katie Boyle. OK, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
Handel With Care. Erdbeere | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
is the German word for which type of fruit? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Earth, erd. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
-Erde, earth. -Is it blackberry? -Fruit. Fruit. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
Is it blackberry? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
-(Erdbeere.) -Does anyone know German for other fruits? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:29 | |
I got a zero on German O level. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
I took technical German but didn't get far. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
-Erdbeere. -What about you, Clive? -No. No German at all. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
-And it's a fruit? -It's a berry. -It's a berry. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:42 | |
-Beere, berry. -Blackberry. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
-How about... -I think it's quite... -What about strawberry? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
-OK. -Strawberry grows on the earth. -On the ground. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
Hmm, low to the ground. Erdbeere. Could be, couldn't it? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
-I think we go for that. -Go for strawberry. Yeah. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
-Go for strawberry. That's the nearest, isn't it? -(Erdbeere.) | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Earth berry. We'll go for strawberry. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
Strawberry is your answer. I remember my German O level | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
and A level, but "erd," is that "earth" in German? Could be straw, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
-cos the answer's right. -CHEERING | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Strawberry's the answer. Well done. Well done, you. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
OK, Eggheads. You get this one wrong, you've been beaten. In 1976, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
the first winter Paralympics took place in which country? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
-I just don't know. -I don't know either. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
Erm... | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
So, the actual Winter Olympics that year were held in Innsbruck. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
-Ah. -But the co-location... | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
-The Paralympics is at the same place, isn't it? -Not necessarily. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
I don't know about the winter ones. They didn't used to with the summer ones. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
It was a while before they co-located them. So... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
I don't know. Shall we try... | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
-Try Austria? But I don't know. -It's the best we'll come up with. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
-It's going to turn out to be... -If the regular Winter Olympics | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
-were in Austria that year, at Innsbruck. -Yeah. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
-Ah...it was just starting out? -They were just starting out. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
-It's possible. -They wouldn't have the full circus. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
-It'd be an adjunct of the Winter Olympics. -It's the only thing to cling on to. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
We haven't got the faintest idea, but the only thing cling on to, | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
and it's very tenuous, because the idea of co-locating | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
Olympics and Paralympics, whether summer or winter, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
is a much more recent invention. But... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
THE Winter Olympics in 1976 were held in Innsbruck. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 | |
And, therefore, on that basis, we would hope that, | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
since it was the first Winter Paralympics, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
they would use it as an adjunct. So we'll try Austria. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
But we haven't got the faintest idea. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
You're thinking it's in the same country | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
-that the other Olympics were held? -I've got severe doubts about that. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
Because with the Summer Olympics they didn't do it till much later. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
But if we don't go for Austria, then we're picking a random country. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-It could be anywhere. -There's a lot of tension behind you, I must say. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
The logic's good. And also to pick out Austria | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
as the place where the Winter Olympics were held, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
the main ones were held, er... | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
It's wrong. The answer is Sweden. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
So we say congratulations, Challengers. You have won! | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
Wow! | 0:28:20 | 0:28:21 | |
-You've never quizzed together before? -No. -And you've just beaten | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
-two Mastermind champions. -We've just sung together. -How about that? -Yes. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
Thank you very much. It's been great fun. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:34 | |
You've won £2,000. Congratulations to you. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
And you are now officially cleverer than the Eggheads. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
will be just as successful. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
