0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And taking on our legendary quiz champions today are Bard's Brains.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This team are all members of the Derby Shakespeare Theatre Company.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Recently, they won the prestigious Best Production award
0:00:44 > 0:00:46from The Minack Theatre in Cornwall.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Stephanie, I'm 53 and I'm a health and safety manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Trevor, I'm 57 and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Joanna, I'm 64 and I'm a retired dental surgeon.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Colin, I'm 40 and I'm a technical manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Caroline, I'm 37 and I'm a drama teacher.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Stephanie and team, welcome. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Are you hoping that Shakespeare comes up?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- No!- We're worried that if something comes up, we can't answer it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We're going to look a bit stupid!
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- It's funny, for quizzes, Shakespeare is meat and drink, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Shakespeare comes up and they sort of know it,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32"Who was Polonius's father?" and all that. That's your stuff.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- What was the one the other day, Barry?- "Who was Desdemona's father?"
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Who was Desdemona's father? Don't worry! That's not a question!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- It's OK! - I only know it if I've been in it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47It's even worse if you've been in it and forget the part you played!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You've all had different jobs and stuff,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53so it's not a full-time thing, but it's clearly your love.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58It certainly is. And we don't always produce Shakespeare.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Our most recent production was The History Boys.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03The Minack award is quite a big award, isn't it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It certainly is.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10The season runs for about six months, so there's about 25 productions,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13so to be the best of all of those is quite good,
0:02:13 > 0:02:19particularly as the Globe Theatre in London were also performing in the same season,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- so we beat them. - Well, good luck in this contest.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Bard's Brains, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35which means that £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Would you like to try? - Absolutely!- We'll give it a go!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- GROANING & LAUGHTER - Is that good?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I think that's me, isn't it?- Oh, no!
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- We lose you straight away, Stephanie!- You might not lose her!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54No! No! No! I mean, she goes away and leaves us all on our own!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- I'm going to win, thank you! - Of course you are.- Be brave, Steph.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Right, who are we going to choose, then?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06We had someone in the last game whose ambition it was to go against Kevin. I'm not suggesting you do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10He just wanted to be in the booth next to Kevin. And blow me down, he beat him.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12So he had his ambition - plus!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Anyway, Music... - I'm not sure I'm brave enough to...
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- On your spreadsheet...- Yes. - ..who were you up against?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I hadn't got anybody in particular,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23but let's try...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25..Barry.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- ALL: Barry. - Everybody says Barry simultaneously.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That's a nice feeling.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Stephanie from Bard's Brains against Barry from the Eggheads on Music.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- So, Stephanie, you love to quiz, I gather.- Yes, I certainly do.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- In the pub or where? - Yes, it's mostly in the pub.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50But anywhere where there's a quiz, we'll probably dip into it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Music.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Stephanie, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'll take the first, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Here we go. Good luck, Stephanie.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08What is the name of the part of a violin that projects from the main body
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and is the base of the fingerboard?
0:04:14 > 0:04:20I don't think it would be the leg. That doesn't make much sense.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Nor does the wrist.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Something is making me think it's the neck. I'll try for neck.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Neck is the right answer. Well done. Well done! Well done!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Barry, with which song did 10cc have a UK number one in 1975?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Oh, goodness! All 10cc songs...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I don't think it was Under Your Thumb.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I think both Life Is A Minestrone and I'm Not In Love were successful.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'll go for I'm Not In Love.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I'm Not In Love is quite right. Their masterwork.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00OK, Stephanie.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05What is the title of the 2011 album by Britney Spears?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Right up your street, I'm sure.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Well, this is going to have to be a complete guess
0:05:15 > 0:05:18because I really don't know.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I don't think she's a teenager any more,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22so I'll rule out Teenage Dream.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26She could be described as a Femme Fatale.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Killer Love...
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'm going to try Killer Love.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Oh, no!- There's been an exclamation from your team. Is she wrong?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Well, apparently so. - Who knows? Who knows?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- I have no idea, but Barry shook his head!- Barry shook his head.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- I'm going with Barry.- Give us your Britney Spears back catalogue.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- It's Femme Fatale.- Femme Fatale. - I was going to go for that!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Or I guess they would say "Femme Fatal" in the States.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01OK, Barry. The 1813 opera Tancredi
0:06:01 > 0:06:04was one of the earliest successes of which composer?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I'll discount Schubert because I don't believe he wrote any operas.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Both Verdi and Rossini would fit in the dates,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16but I believe Tancredi was Verdi.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I believe Tancredi was Rossini.- Oh!
0:06:20 > 0:06:25You're equal, Stephanie. Let's see if you can take the lead.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Which 19th-century composer designated one of his early works
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Die Nullte, or Symphony Number Nought, or zero?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41For some reason, I'm not thinking Anton Bruckner,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44so that's probably going to be the right answer.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Die Nullte...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm going to try Richard Wagner.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Barry's shaking his head again!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh, dear! Barry?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- I'm afraid it was Anton Bruckner. - It was.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00OK, Barry, if you get this right, the round is over.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz
0:07:04 > 0:07:07were early members of which thrash-metal band?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14You've come up with the three thrash-metal bands I know,
0:07:14 > 0:07:15or I've heard of,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18but I've no idea who's in them so this is a blind guess.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I will go for the wonderfully-sounding Anthrax.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Anthrax is the right answer, Barry.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28The unfairness of that! Sorry, Stephanie.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I don't know how he did that. I was sure he was going to go for Megadeth.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- You've been knocked out.- OK. - Barry's in the Final Round. But it's early days.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Please, both of you come back and we'll play on.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the Final Round.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48The Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Sport.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Who's the sporty person? - That's got to be Colin.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Colin. OK.- Colin!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It can't obviously be Barry.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I wonder whether you should take Dave.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Do you think?- Good idea. - Yes, that's good.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- We'd like to play against Dave. - What about the girl?
0:08:07 > 0:08:12OK, Colin from Bard's Brains against Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Off to the Question Room now, then, please.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Let's see how you both do. Three questions on Sport.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Colin, you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'll go first.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Good luck. Goodwood Racecourse is located in which range of hills?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK, erm,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39probably not the South Downs.
0:08:39 > 0:08:45I used to live down there and I can't remember it being around Surrey.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Er... I couldn't tell you where the Howardian Hills are either,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53so I'm going to have to go for Quantock Hills.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56OK. I fear your team
0:08:56 > 0:08:59are starting to rehearse the Shakespeare line
0:08:59 > 0:09:01that deals with defeat here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04We thought it was the South Downs.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- You all think it's the South Downs. - We do. But if he's right, brill!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I'm sorry, it is the South Downs. - Thank you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The full length of a badminton court is how many feet long?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Again, you know, spatial things are not my speciality, either.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Erm...
0:09:26 > 0:09:2872 foot...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'll go 44 foot, but I'm nowhere near confident on it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You've done well. It is 44.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So Tremendous Knowledge Dave is in the lead.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Onto you, Colin.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45Which club did rugby league player Lee Briers join in 1997?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm pretty certain...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Actually, I'll change that, I'm not at all certain!
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I think Hull FC, er...
0:10:01 > 0:10:05..won't be rugby league. I think that's Hull Kingston.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos... Erm...
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I'm going to go for Leeds Rhino.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- It's Warrington Wolves, I'm sorry to say.- OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Dave, your question... If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25In which year did the US tennis player Louise Brough
0:10:25 > 0:10:29win the first of her four Wimbledon Singles Titles?
0:10:34 > 0:10:39I'll rule out 1948. I'm just trying to think when Louise Brough was,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41whether it was the start of the century or the '20s.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Erm...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I'll go 1908.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48You're 40 years out.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Oh, right. 1948? - Yes. Why did you rule that out?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I just did. I'd heard the name,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- but I didn't realise when she was Wimbledon champion.- OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01This is a tough round!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05So you have a chance to draw level now.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07In 2010,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09which England player became the most capped player
0:11:09 > 0:11:14in Women's One-Day International Cricket?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25OK, erm... Beth Morgan...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I believe Beth Morgan was the captain. Erm...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Karen Smithies doesn't ring a bell.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34However, Charlotte Edwards, that sort of,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38that prompted something when you said it. Erm...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm going to go for Charlotte Edwards.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Charlotte Edwards is the right answer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So you draw level! Well done. One each.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52If Tremendous Knowledge Dave gets this, he is through to the final.
0:11:52 > 0:11:59Which motor racing driver won a total of 51 Formula 1 Grand Prix races during his career?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I think Fangio won about 20-odd.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I think Nelson Piquet,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14World Champion three times, won quite a few.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18But I think the most prolific winner is Alain Prost. That's my answer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21He's in second place after Michael Schumacher,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24it is indeed Alain Prost. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Sorry, Colin. Knocked out on a tricky Sport round,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- ranging throughout all kinds of sporting areas.- Never mind.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Dave will be in the final. If you come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39So, Stephanie, is there a line from Shakespeare that sums all this up?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42All we can say is, "What is done is done
0:12:42 > 0:12:43"and cannot be undone".
0:12:43 > 0:12:46From... Macbeth.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- You've said it!- The Scottish play! The Scottish play! I didn't say it.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55The Challengers have lost two brains. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Let's see what happens next. It's History for you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Who would like this?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- That's going to be you, Caroline. - I thought it was going to be Trevor.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Trevor? - Or do you want to do History?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11As long as I don't do History!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- I think Judith. - Play a round with Judith?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Judith's good at history. Isn't she? - I don't know!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- We'll go for Pat. - I think they're all good at history! - Are they?- Oh, yes!
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- We'll choose Pat.- Pat. - OK, so Trevor from Bard's Brains
0:13:26 > 0:13:28versus Pat on History.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Let's see how they both do. Go to the Question Room now.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Trevor, I gather you do the props when they put on a production.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I just move things onto the stage and then move things off the stage, basically.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I leave all the important stuff to them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Which play, of the ones you've done, is the most prop-heavy?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49The last one we did was "Much Ado" and we did that at The Minack,
0:13:49 > 0:13:55and for that one we had a 1940s ice cream cycle,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58so we had to get that on and off.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Was an ice cream van on the front of it or...?- Yes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Wonderful! So, you had to cycle that off the stage, did you?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Yes. I had to shove them on and then catch them when they came off.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And you find yourself looking for props everywhere, I imagine.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Well, I like going round old antique shops and things
0:14:16 > 0:14:18to see what we can find.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Three questions, multiple choice. Would you like the first or second set?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I'll go first, please.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30In the 19th century, who became known as the Lady with the Lamp?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Well, if Grace Darling had a lamp, she'd get it very wet!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40The answer has got to be Florence Nightingale.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Florence Nightingale it is. Well done.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Pat, over to you. What name is usually given to early societies
0:14:47 > 0:14:51whose food was derived from wild animals and foraging
0:14:51 > 0:14:55rather than growing crops or rearing livestock?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Erm...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think they were Hunter Gatherers.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Hunter Gatherer is the right answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10You paused for a wonderfully long amount of time. Well done.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13OK, Trevor. During which period of British history
0:15:13 > 0:15:18was the "gable hood" a fashionable type of headdress for women?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Well, erm, in Tudor, they...
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I can't imagine hoods being worn in Tudor times.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34They had all their hair put up.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Normans, no. It's got to be Hanoverian, I would've thought.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's Tudor, actually.- Oh, no. - You said Tudor.- Tudor is the answer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Somebody over here had it?- Yes. - Your team knew it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Which general commanded the British Army that surrendered to the Americans
0:15:49 > 0:15:53after the Battles of Saratoga in 1777?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I think that was John Burgoyne.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07You are right. John Burgoyne is the correct answer.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I thought that was going to catch him.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12But he is very good on his history.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Alice Perrers was the mistress of which medieval king?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Edward III, I think...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29..was quite monogamous.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34William I... I haven't really got much of an idea.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But I think Edward the...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40..Edward III,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44but not overly confident.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Oh, OK! He started off being monogamous
0:16:46 > 0:16:50and now he's putting it about all over the place!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I think he was.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55He was certainly married a long time to..
0:16:55 > 0:16:57..to his wife, but, erm,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm sure he must've had dalliances.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You got it right. Well done!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Well worked out.- OK. You're equal.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Pat, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Which writer helped to organise the top-secret intelligence section called 30 Assault Unit
0:17:14 > 0:17:17during the Second World War?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Well, there was quite a few English writers
0:17:24 > 0:17:27involved in intelligence in World War II.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I think Ian Fleming had something to do with operations relating to Gibraltar.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Graham Greene was certainly active in intelligence.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I'm not sure whether he went as far as to be a spy, but he was involved.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Perhaps it's a bit too early for John le Carre to be active in WWII.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Let's say he had to be 20...
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Borderline for John le Carre.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56Fleming was involved in some operations relating to Gibraltar.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I think Greene was more cerebral
0:17:59 > 0:18:02and the word "Assault" suggests a slightly more dynamic...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm going to go for Ian Fleming.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Ian Fleming is the right answer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well done, Pat. You've taken your place in the final.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Sorry, Trevor. You've been knocked out by an Egghead. It does happen.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I can see you love your history.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19We've done three rounds.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24It's not looking that good for Bard's Brains. We're having regular Shakespeare updates.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Colin?- "The rest is silence..."!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28There we are. Well, it may not be.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30The Challengers have lost three brains.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34The Eggheads have not lost a brain from the all-important Final Round.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36The last subject is Geography.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Who would like this?- Ooh, wow.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Shall I risk this one?- Caroline?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It means you're on your own, Joanna.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Who would you like to play against? Who have we got left?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- You can either take Judith or Kevin. - Judith.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Or you could be very brave and get rid of Kevin for me.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I think I'd rather go with Judith. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:56 > 0:19:00So, Caroline from Bard's Brains versus Judith on Geography.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- You haven't done Geography for a little while.- No, not for ages.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08OK, let's see how you both do. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- I gather you've just become a mum. - I have, yes. A little baby.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- And your son's name?- Jack.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Very exciting, I imagine.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Very exciting, very tiring.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I don't know whether I'll be as much a Bard's Brain as a baby brain.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You've done very well to do an edition of Eggheads
0:19:25 > 0:19:28in the middle of the early months of mumming.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Well, yes. Night feeds have, er, drained my, er, memory a little bit,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34so I'll see what I can remember today.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39OK, it's Geography, three questions. Caroline, you can choose the first or second set.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Er, perhaps I should break the jinx and go second.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Judith, here we go with your first question.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The Keukenhof Garden in the Netherlands
0:19:52 > 0:19:55is famous for its many varieties of what?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well, I love the idea of palm trees and cactus in the Netherlands
0:20:01 > 0:20:04when it's very, very famous for tulips.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Tulips is the right answer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13The town of Wells-next-the-Sea lies close to which sea?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Erm... - SHE SIGHS
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Right. Erm...
0:20:24 > 0:20:28It doesn't sound like a place in the Baltic Sea.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Erm...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33My instinct, and that's all I've got to go on,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37is suggesting the Irish Sea.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I don't know why. So I'll think I'll plump for that.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45We've just had a Shakespearean gasp from your colleagues.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- I've been on holiday there. It's Norfolk, isn't it?- Yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53So it's the North Sea. It's the other side.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Next to, oh, Holkham and places like that.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- North Norfolk. - North Norfolk, Judith, thank you.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Here's your second question.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04During the 20th century, Wardour Street in London
0:21:04 > 0:21:08became particularly associated with which industry?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Oh, film. Definitely.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Film.- Fleet Street was newspapers. - Fleet Street was newspapers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- And banking was just The City, wasn't it?- Yes!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Any other areas that are associated with things?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Do you want me to do a list? - Do them all! Why not?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Let's just stick to film.- I can only give you one point. Film is correct.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32OK, Caroline,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35according to a 2011 United Nations estimate,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39what is the population of Canada? You need to get this right.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Oh, crickey! Erm...
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Well, obviously,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Canada is a huge country, geographically.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Whether the population is huge or not, I don't know.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Er, 14.5 million
0:22:00 > 0:22:02sounds quite low.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Erm, I think I might, perhaps dangerously, rule that out.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Erm, I think...
0:22:10 > 0:22:14..I'm going to go for...
0:22:15 > 0:22:18..34.3 million.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20You are correct.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Phew!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I was ready to come out with the "And the rest is silence" line!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Not any more! - You spared me. Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32You're still alive. Judith, if you get this right, you have gone through to the final.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34What term is used for
0:22:34 > 0:22:39a "narrow sea inlet that's formed by the partial flooding of a river valley"?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's not a rill.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Er... Oh, dear. I don't know.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I'm terribly bad at this sort of thing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55A ria.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58A ria. Where did you get ria from?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- Because it's the magic right. - It's gone down the right!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Anyone know if she's right?- She is. - She is right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Well done.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Sorry, Caroline. Nearly came back, but not quite.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You've been knocked out.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Let's see what happens in that all-important Final Round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20So this is what we have been playing towards - the Final Round,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30So, Stephanie, Trevor, Colin and Caroline from Bard's Brains,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Joanna, you are there on your own now!
0:23:38 > 0:23:42There's a lot resting on your shoulders. We have a literary line?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Well, it's not Shakespeare because, like my friends,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48my Shakespeare has deserted me,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53so it's Wordsworth, "I wandered lonely as a cloud".
0:23:53 > 0:23:57And I feel I'm going to wander my way through these questions.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59There could be a silver lining. We've seen a massive win
0:23:59 > 0:24:03in the last few days from a solo player in that position.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- So I have heard.- So there we are. You're playing to win Bard's Brains £4,000.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Dave, Kevin, Judith, Pat and Barry,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13you're playing for something that money can't buy - your reputation.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21You can confer. That doesn't help you much, I know.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Joanna, the question is, is your one brain
0:24:24 > 0:24:27capable of taking apart these five?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Would you like to go first or second?- I shall go first.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Here we go. Good luck.- Thank you. - Take your time.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41The name of the 16th-century Frenchman Claude Garamond
0:24:41 > 0:24:43is associated with a type of what?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Garamond... Which century?
0:24:49 > 0:24:5116th century.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Garamond...
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Well, I don't think...
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I'm going to rule out needlework straight away.
0:24:59 > 0:25:0216th century, Garamond...
0:25:02 > 0:25:07We've got to go for either roof design or typeface.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I am going to...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11This is down the middle -
0:25:11 > 0:25:14roof design.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15I'm afraid that's wrong.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- Is it typeface?- It is typeface. - Never mind.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I didn't realise Garamond was a person, either. OK.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26In the UK, what type of creature is the turnstone?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's a bird.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That is a bird.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37You went up and down the line, like little crows on a wire, that was!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- It really was!- Angry birds. - Just chirping to each other.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42"Bird, bird, bird..."
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Bird is the right answer.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49OK. They can stumble and they can fall.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Here's your question, Joanna.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Who wrote the 1973 children's novel Carrie's War?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Carrie's War I have heard of,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06but in my usual fashion,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I cannot remember who wrote it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15I could appear extraordinarily stupid
0:26:15 > 0:26:19because I will say it definitely wasn't Penelope Lively.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22So I have a choice of two again.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Now, I got the wrong one last time.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Was it... a female writer
0:26:31 > 0:26:33or a male writer?
0:26:33 > 0:26:38One is tempted to go for female because it's "Carrie's" War.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41So, I'm going to go -
0:26:41 > 0:26:43which may seem odd -
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I'm going to go for Robert Westall.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I thought you were going to do that and I wish you hadn't.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Carrie's War is written by Nina Bawden.- Nina Bawden!
0:26:52 > 0:26:56You were halfway there with your Penelope Lively thought.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- We got that bit.- Then you went in a brilliantly counter-intuitive way.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- That's the one!- OK.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Robert Westall is wrong.- Oh, dear.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07So, Eggheads, it's in your hands.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10If you get this one right, you've ended the contest.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13In which Indian city is there a major stock exchange
0:27:13 > 0:27:17with a stock market index called the SENSEX?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22ALL: It's Mumbai.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It's the main one in India
0:27:26 > 0:27:29and it's in Mumbai.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I can't tempt you towards Delhi? Or Bangalore?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Or a wrong answer? - Maybe with sweets or something!
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Oh, you ruthless Eggheads! Mumbai is the right answer.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44We have to say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Joanna, I'm sorry.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Well... - When it's five of them, it is hard.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Bard's Brains were not quite as brainy as they'd hoped.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03- The Bard never came up, did he?- No. - We should've had some Bard in there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I think we were quite glad that didn't
0:28:05 > 0:28:09because we would've looked exceedingly foolish!
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But it's always the same. I knew their questions.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It happens a lot, believe me.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Anyway, thank you for playing.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- It was good fun. - Good luck in the theatre.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme.
0:28:23 > 0:28:29It does mean that Bard's Brains don't go home with the £4,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Till then, goodbye.
