These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:160:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:230:00:26

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:260:00:30

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:300:00:32

And challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:320:00:34

are Handel With Care.

0:00:340:00:36

This team are all members of the 130-strong

0:00:360:00:39

Southampton Choral Society.

0:00:390:00:40

I feel a song coming on. Let's meet them.

0:00:400:00:43

Hello. I'm Rosaleen. I'm 66 and I'm a gardener.

0:00:430:00:47

Hello. My name's Diana. I'm 61 and I'm a librarian.

0:00:470:00:51

Hello. I'm Clive. I'm 64 and I'm a retired librarian.

0:00:510:00:55

Hello. I'm Steve. I'm 57 and I'm an electronics engineer.

0:00:550:00:59

Hello. I'm Jim. I'm 62 years old and an arts administrator.

0:00:590:01:04

-Rosaleen and team, welcome.

-Hello.

0:01:040:01:06

And you've got your finery on here.

0:01:060:01:08

Yes. This is our official uniform for concerts.

0:01:080:01:11

OK, great. Well, it's wonderful to see you.

0:01:110:01:13

I know you're a spread of tenors and altos and basses and what else?

0:01:130:01:17

-What have I missed out?

-Soprano top, then altos, then tenors

0:01:170:01:22

-and, at the end, a bass.

-So you can sing for us now?

-Yup.

-Could you?

0:01:220:01:25

-Would you...

-We don't get enough singing in the studio.

0:01:250:01:28

-None of them can sing and I can't sing.

-All right, then.

0:01:280:01:31

-We will.

-Thank you.

0:01:310:01:32

ALL SING: # Hallelujah, hallelujah

0:01:320:01:36

# Hallelujah, hallelujah Halle-lu-jah

0:01:360:01:41

# Hallelujah, hallelujah

0:01:410:01:44

# Hallelujah, hallelujah Halle-lu-jah. #

0:01:440:01:50

-APPLAUSE

-Wonderful! Thank you.

0:01:500:01:52

That was so great. Do you quiz together?

0:01:520:01:55

-I feel I'm almost ruining the tone by saying that.

-We don't at all.

0:01:550:01:59

-You don't?

-This is our first attempt.

0:01:590:02:01

OK. Well, let's see how we do.

0:02:010:02:03

Every day there is £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:030:02:06

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money

0:02:060:02:09

rolls over to the next show.

0:02:090:02:11

So, Handel With Care, the Eggheads have won just the last game,

0:02:110:02:14

so that means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:140:02:18

First subject is...Arts & Books.

0:02:180:02:21

-Oh. That's lucky.

-Right up your street, I reckon.

0:02:210:02:24

-Arts & Books.

-That's going to be you?

-That's Diana.

-Yes.

-Diana?

0:02:240:02:28

-I'm quite happy with that. Yes, thank you.

-OK.

0:02:280:02:30

-You're one of the librarians?

-Yes.

-OK. Against which Egghead?

0:02:300:02:33

Ah. Erm...

0:02:330:02:35

-Do you think Daphne?

-Daphne's quite good with her books.

0:02:360:02:39

-What do you think?

-What about Chris?

-Shall we do Chris?

0:02:390:02:42

OK, I challenge Chris.

0:02:430:02:44

All right, so it's Diana from Handel With Care against Chris.

0:02:440:02:47

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:470:02:49

would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:490:02:53

So, Diana, you have been a librarian for a long time?

0:02:530:02:56

Yes, I've been... It's 25 years now, I think, yes.

0:02:560:03:00

And I'm just about to retire, so that's almost it.

0:03:000:03:03

Must be great to spend a life surrounded by books.

0:03:030:03:05

Oh, it's wonderful. I've always been a reader,

0:03:050:03:08

and I absolutely love helping people to find the right book,

0:03:080:03:11

so that's been the perfect job.

0:03:110:03:14

Great. Good luck in this round.

0:03:140:03:15

I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions.

0:03:150:03:18

Subject is Arts & Books. Diana, would you like to go first or second?

0:03:180:03:21

I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:03:210:03:23

Here we go. Good luck to you.

0:03:250:03:27

Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting For Godot,

0:03:270:03:29

was originally written in which language?

0:03:290:03:31

Now, he lived for a long time in France,

0:03:330:03:35

so I'm going to say that was French.

0:03:350:03:37

French is absolutely right. Well done.

0:03:370:03:40

Chris, your question.

0:03:400:03:41

The fearsome Miss Trunchbull

0:03:410:03:43

is a character in which Roald Dahl book?

0:03:430:03:45

Oh, aye, she runs the orphanage, doesn't she, in Matilda.

0:03:480:03:51

Matilda is correct. OK, back to you, Diana.

0:03:510:03:55

Which painter was revealed in 2012

0:03:550:03:57

to have turned down honours five times in his lifetime,

0:03:570:04:01

including an OBE in 1955,

0:04:010:04:03

a CBE in 1961,

0:04:030:04:05

and a knighthood in 1968? Is it...

0:04:050:04:08

I'm not at all sure about this.

0:04:110:04:14

Oh, dear. Er...

0:04:150:04:18

This is an absolute guess, but I'm going to go for Graham Sutherland.

0:04:180:04:21

Let's see if your colleagues know. Anyone?

0:04:220:04:25

-I would have gone for Lowry.

-Lowry.

0:04:250:04:26

-Any Eggheads?

-ALL: Lowry.

0:04:260:04:27

Yeah, Lowry's the answer, Diana.

0:04:270:04:30

OK. Chris, your question to take the lead.

0:04:300:04:32

Which fictional detective features in the play Black Coffee,

0:04:320:04:35

first performed in the 1930s? Is it...

0:04:350:04:38

Ah, well, I'm pretty well up on Sherlock Holmes,

0:04:420:04:45

and he's never been in a play called Black Coffee.

0:04:450:04:47

Philip Marlowe's a hard-boiled film noir-type private eye in Los Angeles.

0:04:470:04:52

It's unlikely to be him.

0:04:520:04:54

But Cafe Noir, Black Coffee,

0:04:540:04:56

is the sort of title in which you might find Hercule Poirot,

0:04:560:04:59

so that's who I'll go with, Poirot.

0:04:590:05:01

I'm an Agatha Christie fan but I've never heard of this.

0:05:010:05:03

Hercule Poirot is the right answer. Well done, Chris.

0:05:030:05:06

He takes the lead. So you need to get this one right, Diana.

0:05:060:05:08

-Oh dear, right.

-Here we go.

0:05:080:05:10

Which French author wrote his own version of the Robin Hood story

0:05:100:05:14

called Robin Hood The Outlaw in 1863? Was it...

0:05:140:05:18

Now, again, this is not something I know, but, erm...

0:05:230:05:27

Alexandre Dumas did lots of adventurous swashbuckling stories,

0:05:270:05:32

so it's quite likely to be him.

0:05:320:05:36

I think I'm going to go for Alexandre Dumas.

0:05:360:05:39

Alexandre Dumas is the right answer, Diana.

0:05:390:05:42

Two out of three. Will Chris win the round?

0:05:420:05:44

A number of paintings bought from the estate of John Julius Angerstein

0:05:440:05:49

formed the nucleus of the collection of which art institution? Is it...

0:05:490:05:54

Well, the Royal Academy have got their own collection.

0:05:580:06:01

National Gallery's been going longer.

0:06:010:06:04

I'd say the National Portrait Gallery.

0:06:040:06:07

-No, it's the National Gallery.

-Is it?

-Yes, it is.

0:06:080:06:11

So you're equal after three questions.

0:06:110:06:14

Diana, we go to Sudden Death.

0:06:140:06:15

Gets a bit harder, because I don't give you alternatives.

0:06:150:06:18

-Right.

-Here's your question.

0:06:180:06:19

Which best-selling Italian author and philosopher

0:06:190:06:22

wrote the children's books The Bomb And The General,

0:06:220:06:24

The Three Astronauts, and The Gnomes of Gnu?

0:06:240:06:27

Oh. Well, I'm...

0:06:270:06:30

I'm quite up in children's books, but not in Italian ones. Erm...

0:06:300:06:34

I'm going to just have to think of an Italian philosopher and author.

0:06:350:06:41

Erm...

0:06:410:06:42

Italo Svevo?

0:06:430:06:46

-No, Umberto Eco.

-Ah.

0:06:460:06:48

-Who wrote... What was it, The Name Of The Rose, his famous one?

-Yes.

0:06:480:06:51

OK, Chris.

0:06:520:06:53

Confessions Of An English Opium Eater

0:06:530:06:55

is the best-known work by which 19th-century essayist?

0:06:550:07:00

If you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:07:000:07:02

-Thomas De Quincy.

-Thomas De Quincy is right, Chris. Well done.

0:07:020:07:05

You've triumphed. Sorry, Diana. Well played, though.

0:07:050:07:08

You won't be in the final.

0:07:080:07:09

Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:07:090:07:12

So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain

0:07:130:07:16

from the Final Round. The Eggheads haven't lost any brains yet.

0:07:160:07:19

The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?

0:07:190:07:21

-Geography.

-Who's the traveller?

0:07:220:07:23

-Rosaleen?

-Rosaleen or Steve?

0:07:230:07:26

-I'll do it.

-Before you go, Rosie, choose an Egghead.

0:07:260:07:29

-Oh, yes.

-Can't be Chris.

0:07:290:07:31

-Oh. Oh, Barry.

-Barry, yeah. Yes.

0:07:310:07:34

-Yes.

-Barry, please.

-OK.

0:07:340:07:36

So, Rosaleen from Handel With Care

0:07:360:07:38

versus Barry from the Eggheads on Geography.

0:07:380:07:41

Please go to the Question Room now.

0:07:410:07:43

Rosaleen. Geography.

0:07:440:07:46

Three questions against Barry,

0:07:460:07:48

and you can choose the first or the second set.

0:07:480:07:50

I'll go first, please.

0:07:500:07:52

Here we go. Good luck.

0:07:530:07:54

In the United States, which commodity is sometimes

0:07:540:07:57

referred to as Texas tea? Is it...

0:07:570:07:59

Texas tea? Well...

0:08:010:08:03

I think Texas is particularly famous for oil, isn't it?

0:08:030:08:06

Or is that just too obvious?

0:08:060:08:09

I'll go with oil.

0:08:110:08:12

-And oil is quite right. Well done.

-Oh, good.

0:08:120:08:15

Barry, your question.

0:08:150:08:17

What is the official monetary unit of Monaco?

0:08:170:08:20

Is it...

0:08:200:08:21

Ah. Well, it won't be the Lira.

0:08:240:08:27

Have they still stayed on the Franc or have they gone into the Euro?

0:08:270:08:30

No, it...

0:08:300:08:31

It must be the Euro.

0:08:310:08:34

Is Monaco in... It's in France, isn't it? It's independent?

0:08:340:08:37

-It's the South of France, yes.

-But is it part of France?

0:08:370:08:39

No. It's an independent principality.

0:08:390:08:41

Independent principality. You're right, anyway.

0:08:410:08:43

It's the Euro. Could have been a nasty one, that.

0:08:430:08:46

OK. On to you, Rosaleen.

0:08:470:08:49

The town of Chepstow is located on which river? Is it...

0:08:490:08:52

Oh, dear. Well, I'm pretty sure it's not the Trent,

0:08:550:08:58

cos that's up North somewhere.

0:08:580:09:00

The Witham?

0:09:000:09:01

I do go to that part of the country sometimes to see relatives.

0:09:010:09:05

And I've certainly sat beside the Wye in Hereford.

0:09:050:09:08

I guess it must be the Wye.

0:09:080:09:11

-Lovely stuff. It is the Wye.

-Ooh, great.

-Good.

0:09:120:09:14

Now, on to Barry. Let's see if he falls behind.

0:09:140:09:16

The headland called Dr Syntax's Head

0:09:160:09:20

is a feature of which county? Barry, is it...

0:09:200:09:23

Ah. I have heard of this headland

0:09:250:09:27

but I'm not quite sure where it is.

0:09:270:09:30

I don't believe it's in Kent. I think it's further south-west.

0:09:300:09:35

Is it Dorset or Cornwall? I'm going to go for Dorset.

0:09:350:09:38

Let's see if your colleagues know. Is it Dorset?

0:09:380:09:40

-Cornwall.

-Cornwall. Whereabouts is it?

0:09:400:09:42

-Near Land's End, isn't it?

-Near Land's End, Barry.

-Oh.

0:09:420:09:46

Cornwall is the answer.

0:09:460:09:47

So you're in the lead, Rosaleen.

0:09:470:09:49

Get this one right, you've knocked him out. OK, here we go.

0:09:490:09:52

Apia, spelt A-P-I-A, is the capital of which country?

0:09:520:09:56

Oh. You're going to say,

0:09:580:10:00

I know it's something...some Pacific island, isn't it? Oh, dear.

0:10:000:10:05

Do you know, I've been sitting with an atlas every evening for weeks.

0:10:050:10:09

I even printed a list of capital cities out.

0:10:090:10:12

But there were so many, I can't really remember them all.

0:10:120:10:16

Apia.

0:10:160:10:17

Oh, dear. I don't think it's Tonga.

0:10:170:10:20

I think it's Samoa.

0:10:210:10:24

-Samoa is the right answer. Well done.

-ALL: Well done!

0:10:240:10:27

Rosaleen, real Daphne-style performance. It's a compliment.

0:10:270:10:30

-You're in the Final Round.

-Wonderful!

0:10:300:10:33

-I'm sorry, Barry.

-You knocked out Barry.

-I'm sorry, Barry.

0:10:330:10:35

CHALLENGERS LAUGH

0:10:350:10:36

He doesn't mind. He can take it.

0:10:360:10:38

Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here.

0:10:380:10:40

Handel With Care, as it stands,

0:10:420:10:44

you've lost one brain from the Final Round.

0:10:440:10:46

The Eggheads have also lost a brain now.

0:10:460:10:47

Next subject is Film & Television.

0:10:470:10:50

So who would like this?

0:10:500:10:51

ALL: Ooh.

0:10:510:10:52

-Film & TV.

-It's up to you, now.

-Oh, my God.

0:10:520:10:56

-None of us wanted to do this, did we?

-No.

0:10:560:10:58

Well, it was quite high up on my list. I can go and do it?

0:10:580:11:02

-You're pretty good on film, aren't you?

-No.

-Yeah.

0:11:020:11:05

-Hopeless on TV soaps.

-You might get some TV.

0:11:050:11:07

Clive. All right. This is the moment.

0:11:070:11:10

And against which Egghead? Who would you like to take on and knock out?

0:11:100:11:14

Uh, David.

0:11:140:11:15

Tremendous Knowledge Dave is what we call him here, but that's fine.

0:11:150:11:18

-Oh, well.

-Clive from Handel With Care

0:11:180:11:21

versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads on Film & TV.

0:11:210:11:25

Please go to the Question Room now.

0:11:250:11:27

OK. Good luck in this round.

0:11:280:11:29

I'll ask you three questions on Film & Television in turn.

0:11:290:11:32

Clive, you can choose the first or second set.

0:11:320:11:34

I think I'll go for the first, Jeremy.

0:11:340:11:36

Here we go. Best of luck.

0:11:380:11:40

The Foretelling, set in the Wars of the Roses,

0:11:400:11:43

was the title of the first broadcast episode of which 1980s TV comedy?

0:11:430:11:47

Ah. Now, I remember Blackadder

0:11:510:11:54

did start off in the 14th century.

0:11:540:11:58

So, yeah. I'm going to go for Blackadder, Jeremy.

0:11:580:12:00

Blackadder is the right answer, Clive. Well done.

0:12:000:12:03

Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:12:030:12:05

The TV show, Sex And The City,

0:12:050:12:07

is mainly set in which US city? Is it...

0:12:070:12:10

Again, the wife's responsible for my knowledge of this.

0:12:130:12:15

Erm, always on when I want to watch golf. Erm,

0:12:150:12:20

-but it's New York.

-New York is right.

0:12:200:12:22

I've got the same situation at home, yep.

0:12:220:12:24

I've seen all of them twice. Clive.

0:12:250:12:27

Frank Burnside, played by Christopher Ellison,

0:12:270:12:30

was a long-running character in which TV series? Is it...

0:12:300:12:33

Hmm. Well, I don't know this.

0:12:370:12:41

I've watched The Bill a long time ago.

0:12:410:12:45

I've watched Waking The Dead a couple of times,

0:12:450:12:47

and I regret to say I never watch Cracker,

0:12:470:12:49

so this is going to be a complete guess.

0:12:490:12:54

Most people have been in The Bill at one time or another.

0:12:540:12:57

So I'm going to go for The Bill.

0:12:570:13:00

That's very good logic.

0:13:000:13:02

Again, quizzers' logic. You're right. The Bill it is.

0:13:020:13:05

OK, Dave.

0:13:060:13:07

What was the name of the snail in the UK version

0:13:070:13:10

of the children's TV series The Magic Roundabout?

0:13:100:13:13

Childhood memories.

0:13:150:13:17

Not normally good on children's TV.

0:13:170:13:20

But if I go through, it's Dylan the rabbit and Ermintrude the cow

0:13:200:13:23

and it's Brian the snail.

0:13:230:13:25

Brian the snail is right. So two each.

0:13:250:13:28

You're both playing well. Here we go, Clive.

0:13:280:13:30

The 1948 film, The Emperor Waltz,

0:13:300:13:32

provided the first of 35 Oscar nominations for which designer?

0:13:320:13:37

I've got a feeling Anthony Powell is a novelist.

0:13:410:13:44

Edith Head is a name I know but I'm not quite sure how.

0:13:440:13:48

Again, it's going to be a little bit of a guess, I think.

0:13:510:13:54

I'm going to go for Edith Head.

0:13:540:13:57

-Eggheads, is that correct?

-ALL: Yeah.

0:13:580:14:00

-Yeah, you're right, Clive. You played very well.

-Well done, Clive.

0:14:000:14:03

Real quizzer. OK, so, if you get this wrong,

0:14:030:14:05

-Dave, you're going to be out.

-Yep.

0:14:050:14:07

The 1957 film, The Prince And The Showgirl,

0:14:070:14:10

starring Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe,

0:14:100:14:13

is based on a play by which writer?

0:14:130:14:16

Oh, it's...it could be any of them.

0:14:210:14:24

I do not know.

0:14:250:14:28

I'm going to go George Bernard Shaw.

0:14:280:14:31

-DIANA:

-Ooh!

-And I think I'll be back here in the Sin Bin.

0:14:310:14:34

HE LAUGHS

0:14:340:14:35

-Team, Challengers?

-It's Rattigan.

-It is Rattigan. Well done, Diana.

0:14:350:14:39

-Well done.

-Terence Rattigan is the answer, not Shaw.

0:14:390:14:41

So, Clive, well done.

0:14:410:14:42

You're in the Final Round. Very well played.

0:14:420:14:45

Very well played indeed. This is getting interesting.

0:14:450:14:48

Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:14:480:14:50

As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain,

0:14:520:14:54

the Eggheads have lost two brains from the all-important Final Round.

0:14:540:14:58

And here we go with the last subject, which is Music.

0:14:580:15:01

The omens are good, here.

0:15:010:15:02

Who's going to do Music?

0:15:030:15:04

-There you go.

-We've got two left. It's one of you two.

-Steve or Jim.

0:15:040:15:08

-I'm afraid Steve.

-It's me, is it?

-He's got more pop music knowledge.

0:15:080:15:12

-Steve's got the short straw.

-Yeah.

0:15:120:15:14

-What do you think?

-Steve? OK.

-He's better at General Knowledge..

0:15:140:15:17

Looks like it's going to be me. Not my strongest subject, but...

0:15:170:15:20

OK. Don't get up just yet. Steve, against which Egghead?

0:15:200:15:22

-Right. So who shall we go for then?

-Could be Daphne or Kevin.

0:15:220:15:25

-Daphne.

-Daphne?

-Daphne, we think it's you, please.

0:15:250:15:29

Oh, right.

0:15:290:15:31

Steve from Handel With Care versus Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:15:310:15:34

To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:15:340:15:38

OK. Good luck in Music. Do you want to go first or second, Steve?

0:15:390:15:43

I'll go for first, please.

0:15:430:15:45

Here we go. Good luck. A recording of which popular song

0:15:480:15:52

became a UK top 10 single for Cat Stevens in the early 1970s?

0:15:520:15:56

OK. Well, this is taking me back to my sixth form.

0:16:010:16:05

And definitely not Lord Of The Dance.

0:16:050:16:08

All Things Bright And Beautiful, I'm not sure if anybody sang that,

0:16:080:16:11

that I can remember, but Morning Has Broken was Cat Stevens.

0:16:110:16:15

Morning Has Broken is the right answer.

0:16:150:16:17

Daphne,

0:16:180:16:19

what was the title of Maria McKee's 1990 UK number 1 single?

0:16:190:16:25

-SHE LAUGHS

-Um...

0:16:280:16:30

I think the only one...

0:16:310:16:34

I think I've heard of is Show Me Heaven?

0:16:340:16:38

-Can you sing it?

-No! No.

0:16:390:16:41

I could clear the studio.

0:16:410:16:43

Show Me Heaven is the right answer.

0:16:440:16:47

Steve, over to you.

0:16:470:16:48

Which English composer's operatic version of A Midsummer Night's Dream

0:16:480:16:52

premiered in 1960? Is it...

0:16:520:16:56

OK. Edward Elgar was quite a bit earlier than that.

0:17:000:17:02

Not sure about Harrison Birtwistle

0:17:020:17:05

but Benjamin Britten does sound... I know he's written some operas.

0:17:050:17:09

So I'll go for Benjamin Britten.

0:17:090:17:11

Benjamin Britten is correct. Playing well.

0:17:110:17:15

Team is playing very well. Daphne.

0:17:150:17:17

What is the real first name of the blues musician known as BB King?

0:17:170:17:21

Crumbs. Erm...

0:17:240:17:27

-Stanley.

-No.

-No?

0:17:270:17:30

I thought they'd have put one starting with B in there

0:17:300:17:33

to throw you off the scent even more.

0:17:330:17:35

-It doesn't begin with B and it's not Stanley. It's Riley.

-Oh, right.

0:17:350:17:38

Riley King. You're in the lead, Steve.

0:17:380:17:41

If you get it right, you've knocked out an Egghead,

0:17:410:17:43

then we'll be playing four against two in the Final Round.

0:17:430:17:46

Which American singer's UK hits include

0:17:460:17:49

See You Again, Seven Things, and Party In The USA? Is it...

0:17:490:17:54

Ooh, OK. I know my children would know this.

0:17:580:18:02

Miley Cyrus is quite recent. Erm...

0:18:030:18:06

Carrie Underwood I've heard of. LeAnn Rimes, er, I've not heard of.

0:18:060:18:10

And I didn't recognise any of the subjects, the titles of the songs,

0:18:120:18:17

so I won't ask you to repeat them.

0:18:170:18:19

I'll go with Miley Cyrus.

0:18:190:18:20

The answer is Miley Cyrus, Steve. Well done.

0:18:200:18:23

You're in the Final Round. Playing well, you Handel With Cares.

0:18:230:18:26

Daphne, you've been knocked out on Music. No musicals, you see.

0:18:260:18:30

-No.

-That's what happens when you don't get your musicals.

0:18:300:18:32

Please, both of you, come back to the studio,

0:18:320:18:35

and we will play that Final Round.

0:18:350:18:36

This is interesting. This is what we've been playing towards.

0:18:380:18:41

It is time for the Final Round

0:18:410:18:42

which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:18:420:18:44

Those of you who lost your Head-to-Heads

0:18:440:18:47

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:18:470:18:49

So, Diana from Handel With Care. Sorry.

0:18:490:18:53

And also Barry, Daphne and Dave from the Eggheads.

0:18:530:18:56

Would you please leave the studio?

0:18:560:18:59

So Rosaleen, Clive, Steve and Jim,

0:19:000:19:02

you are playing to win Handel With Care £2,000.

0:19:020:19:05

Chris and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:19:050:19:08

the Eggheads' reputation, which has been rather battered lately.

0:19:080:19:12

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:19:120:19:15

This time the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:19:150:19:17

You are allowed to confer.

0:19:170:19:18

So, Rosaleen, Clive, Steve and Jim,

0:19:180:19:21

the question is, can your four brains overwhelm the Eggheads' two?

0:19:210:19:25

-And would you like to go first or second?

-First, please, Jeremy.

0:19:250:19:29

OK.

0:19:310:19:32

Good luck, Handel With Care. Here we go.

0:19:320:19:34

What name is often given to an academic examination in which

0:19:340:19:37

questions and answers are provided in spoken form? Is it...

0:19:370:19:42

-I'm almost certain...

-It's Viva Voce.

-Definitely.

-Viva Voce.

0:19:450:19:48

-Or a Viva.

-Viva Voce.

0:19:480:19:51

Viva Voce or Vi-va Voce. What do we call it? We just call it a Viva?

0:19:510:19:54

-ALL: Yeah, Viva.

-Viva. OK.

0:19:540:19:57

That's correct. Well done. First one to you. Eggheads.

0:19:570:20:00

-Looking a bit lonely, the two of you there.

-We'll survive.

0:20:000:20:03

We haven't had this many knocked out for a while.

0:20:030:20:05

-It's a while.

-You were on a great streak, then it came to an end.

0:20:050:20:08

Oh, dearie, dearie me.

0:20:080:20:10

What are bobby pins normally used to hold in place? Is it...

0:20:100:20:14

-Hair.

-It's hair, isn't it?

0:20:160:20:18

Yep. They're used to hold hair.

0:20:180:20:21

Hair is the right answer.

0:20:210:20:23

The questions may get harder.

0:20:230:20:25

The fashion designer Julien MacDonald was born in which town?

0:20:260:20:31

-He's a MacDonald, so...

-MacDonald is Scottish.

-MacDonald sounds Scottish.

0:20:340:20:38

-Do any of you know anything about this?

-No, I'm sorry.

0:20:380:20:42

-I don't know anything.

-We'll have to just extract from the question,

0:20:420:20:46

MacDonald is Scottish. Does that help?

0:20:460:20:48

Well, it might do. Might be the wrong answer.

0:20:480:20:52

I think it's unlikely Merthyr Tydfil...

0:20:520:20:55

-being fashion.

-It's not the hotbed of fashion.

0:20:550:20:58

-I'm sorry, I don't know anything about fashion.

-Why Motherwell?

0:20:580:21:01

I only wear wellingtons and dirty anoraks, you see.

0:21:010:21:05

-Yeah. I'm not a fashion man at all.

-No.

0:21:050:21:08

Motherwell sounds a bit more romantic, doesn't it?

0:21:080:21:11

-Yeah, let's go for Motherwell.

-Yes.

-We don't know.

0:21:110:21:14

-All right.

-Yes.

-We don't know, but we'll go for Motherwell.

0:21:140:21:16

OK. Motherwell is your answer.

0:21:160:21:18

Anyone know about this fellow, Julien Macdonald?

0:21:180:21:20

I think he's Welsh. I think it's Merthyr Tydfil.

0:21:200:21:23

I'm not certain but I think it's Merthyr Tydfil.

0:21:230:21:25

-Merthyr Tydfil is the answer.

-OK.

0:21:250:21:27

Eggheads. Your question.

0:21:280:21:30

In the human body, the hormone glucagon is formed

0:21:300:21:34

in which glandular organ? Is it...

0:21:340:21:36

-The pancreas is insulin.

-Yeah.

0:21:400:21:44

Liver's not really a glandular organ.

0:21:440:21:46

Well, no, it is a gland.

0:21:460:21:49

And the liver has more...

0:21:490:21:51

-components, in that sense, than any other organ, virtually.

-Yeah.

0:21:510:21:55

Lots of things come from the liver.

0:21:550:21:57

The liver performs so many functions.

0:21:570:21:59

-But it could... I don't think it's pancreas.

-No.

0:21:590:22:02

That's insulin.

0:22:020:22:05

-Spleen doesn't really sound right to me.

-No.

0:22:050:22:08

-I'd... I don't know it.

-Well, if the liver's multi-functional,

0:22:080:22:11

-it's probably the liver.

-I don't know it, but I'd say liver.

0:22:110:22:14

-But I don't know it.

-I don't either, so we'll go with it.

0:22:140:22:18

We don't know it, but we'll go for the liver on the basis

0:22:180:22:20

-that more things happen there.

-Good logic, but wrong.

-OK.

0:22:200:22:24

-Pancreas is the answer.

-Right.

0:22:240:22:26

Third question. You're still in the game. One point each.

0:22:260:22:28

They've let you off the hook there.

0:22:280:22:30

Do try and get this one right.

0:22:300:22:32

Businessman Dave Whelan took control of which football club in 1995?

0:22:320:22:36

Is it...

0:22:360:22:37

-I'm almost 100% certain, but we'd better discuss.

-I think we had.

0:22:410:22:45

-What do we think?

-I think it's Wigan.

0:22:450:22:47

That would've been the time of Quinn and so on at Sunderland.

0:22:470:22:53

And Fulham is the Harrods man.

0:22:530:22:56

-I'm sure it's Wigan.

-I would've thought Sunderland, but...

-No.

0:22:560:23:00

-Are you sure?

-I would put money on Whelan.

0:23:000:23:02

-So that would be...

-Right, OK.

0:23:020:23:05

-It is putting money on it.

-Yeah.

0:23:050:23:07

-Wigan. Final answer.

-Wigan is your answer?

0:23:080:23:11

-Wigan is the right answer.

-Yes.

-Well done.

0:23:110:23:14

Dave Whelan, Wigan.

0:23:140:23:16

So, Eggheads. You get this one wrong,

0:23:160:23:18

the contest is over and you've lost.

0:23:180:23:20

In 1982, who did Arthur Scargill succeed

0:23:200:23:24

as President of the National Union Of Mineworkers?

0:23:240:23:28

-Joe Gormley.

-The others weren't involved with the miners.

0:23:310:23:33

-No.

-That was Joe Gormley.

0:23:330:23:36

Joe Gormley is the right answer. So you're equal after three questions.

0:23:360:23:39

We go to Sudden Death.

0:23:390:23:40

Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives. Jackpot, £2,000.

0:23:400:23:43

Here we go. Which member of the Monty Python team

0:23:430:23:46

made his debut as an opera director

0:23:460:23:49

with a production of The Damnation Of Faust

0:23:490:23:52

at the English National Opera in 2011?

0:23:520:23:55

-Now...

-OK.

-The Monty Python team.

-2011.

-Cleese?

0:23:550:23:59

-Idle.

-Chapman's dead.

0:23:590:24:02

-Terry Gilliam is the most likely.

-Idle could be. Gilliam.

0:24:020:24:05

-Because he's a film director.

-Yes. The Damnation Of Faust.

0:24:050:24:08

That could be Gilliam. Or, of course...

0:24:080:24:11

-Michael Palin.

-No, the other one's Jones.

-Jones is an intellectual.

0:24:110:24:14

-Yeah.

-He does sort of ancient stuff.

-And he did...

-But Gilliam...

0:24:140:24:19

-Was he an original Python?

-It must be Gilliam, because he's so visual.

0:24:190:24:22

-I would think so, yeah.

-Yes. We'll go for Gilliam.

0:24:220:24:25

-I'm happy with that.

-Terry Gilliam.

-Terry Gilliam is the right answer.

0:24:250:24:28

Good stuff.

0:24:280:24:29

Eggheads, you're under pressure. Get this wrong, you will have lost.

0:24:290:24:33

Which TV personality, who presented the Eurovision Song Contest

0:24:330:24:36

several times in the 1960s and '70s,

0:24:360:24:39

was born the daughter of an Italian Marquis in Florence in 1926?

0:24:390:24:45

-That's Katie Boyle.

-Yeah, Katie Boyle.

0:24:450:24:47

We think she was the most frequent presenter of Eurovision

0:24:470:24:51

at that period. Katie Boyle.

0:24:510:24:53

Katie Boyle is right.

0:24:530:24:55

She was born Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali di Francavilla.

0:24:550:25:01

-And she changed her name to Katie Boyle.

-Yeah.

0:25:010:25:03

Lovely Katie Boyle. OK,

0:25:030:25:05

Handel With Care. Erdbeere

0:25:050:25:09

is the German word for which type of fruit?

0:25:090:25:12

Earth, erd.

0:25:120:25:15

-Erde, earth.

-Is it blackberry?

-Fruit. Fruit.

0:25:150:25:21

Is it blackberry?

0:25:210:25:23

-(Erdbeere.)

-Does anyone know German for other fruits?

0:25:230:25:29

I got a zero on German O level.

0:25:290:25:31

I took technical German but didn't get far.

0:25:310:25:34

-Erdbeere.

-What about you, Clive?

-No. No German at all.

0:25:340:25:37

-And it's a fruit?

-It's a berry.

-It's a berry.

0:25:370:25:42

-Beere, berry.

-Blackberry.

0:25:420:25:44

-How about...

-I think it's quite...

-What about strawberry?

0:25:440:25:47

-OK.

-Strawberry grows on the earth.

-On the ground.

0:25:470:25:49

Hmm, low to the ground. Erdbeere. Could be, couldn't it?

0:25:490:25:53

-I think we go for that.

-Go for strawberry. Yeah.

0:25:530:25:57

-Go for strawberry. That's the nearest, isn't it?

-(Erdbeere.)

0:25:570:25:59

Earth berry. We'll go for strawberry.

0:25:590:26:03

Strawberry is your answer. I remember my German O level

0:26:030:26:06

and A level, but "erd," is that "earth" in German? Could be straw,

0:26:060:26:11

-cos the answer's right.

-CHEERING

0:26:110:26:13

Strawberry's the answer. Well done. Well done, you.

0:26:130:26:17

OK, Eggheads. You get this one wrong, you've been beaten. In 1976,

0:26:170:26:21

the first winter Paralympics took place in which country?

0:26:210:26:25

-I just don't know.

-I don't know either.

0:26:280:26:31

Erm...

0:26:310:26:33

So, the actual Winter Olympics that year were held in Innsbruck.

0:26:330:26:37

-Ah.

-But the co-location...

0:26:370:26:41

-The Paralympics is at the same place, isn't it?

-Not necessarily.

0:26:410:26:44

I don't know about the winter ones. They didn't used to with the summer ones.

0:26:440:26:48

It was a while before they co-located them. So...

0:26:480:26:52

I don't know. Shall we try...

0:26:540:26:57

-Try Austria? But I don't know.

-It's the best we'll come up with.

0:26:570:27:00

-It's going to turn out to be...

-If the regular Winter Olympics

0:27:000:27:03

-were in Austria that year, at Innsbruck.

-Yeah.

0:27:030:27:05

-Ah...it was just starting out?

-They were just starting out.

0:27:050:27:10

-It's possible.

-They wouldn't have the full circus.

0:27:100:27:12

-It'd be an adjunct of the Winter Olympics.

-It's the only thing to cling on to.

0:27:120:27:16

We haven't got the faintest idea, but the only thing cling on to,

0:27:160:27:21

and it's very tenuous, because the idea of co-locating

0:27:210:27:26

Olympics and Paralympics, whether summer or winter,

0:27:260:27:29

is a much more recent invention. But...

0:27:290:27:33

THE Winter Olympics in 1976 were held in Innsbruck.

0:27:330:27:38

And, therefore, on that basis, we would hope that,

0:27:380:27:42

since it was the first Winter Paralympics,

0:27:420:27:44

they would use it as an adjunct. So we'll try Austria.

0:27:440:27:48

But we haven't got the faintest idea.

0:27:480:27:50

You're thinking it's in the same country

0:27:500:27:52

-that the other Olympics were held?

-I've got severe doubts about that.

0:27:520:27:55

Because with the Summer Olympics they didn't do it till much later.

0:27:550:27:59

But if we don't go for Austria, then we're picking a random country.

0:27:590:28:02

-It could be anywhere.

-There's a lot of tension behind you, I must say.

0:28:020:28:05

The logic's good. And also to pick out Austria

0:28:050:28:08

as the place where the Winter Olympics were held,

0:28:080:28:11

the main ones were held, er...

0:28:110:28:14

It's wrong. The answer is Sweden.

0:28:140:28:16

So we say congratulations, Challengers. You have won!

0:28:160:28:20

Wow!

0:28:200:28:21

-You've never quizzed together before?

-No.

-And you've just beaten

0:28:260:28:29

-two Mastermind champions.

-We've just sung together.

-How about that?

-Yes.

0:28:290:28:33

Thank you very much. It's been great fun.

0:28:330:28:34

You've won £2,000. Congratulations to you.

0:28:340:28:37

And you are now officially cleverer than the Eggheads.

0:28:370:28:40

Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:400:28:43

will be just as successful. Till then, goodbye.
