0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And, hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today, are Brighton Rocks.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This friends and family team
0:00:39 > 0:00:41have been taking part in the weekly pub quiz
0:00:41 > 0:00:44at their local, The Station, in Preston Park in Brighton
0:00:44 > 0:00:46for the past seven years.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Mark, I'm 46, and I'm an internet business owner.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Jill, I'm 51, and I'm a teaching assistant.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hello. My name's Liz. I'm 67 and I'm an English tutor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Les, I'm 67, and I'm a retired accountant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Hi. I'm Malcolm, I'm 66, and I'm a retired communications manager.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- So, Mark and team, welcome. - ALL: Thank you very much.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- And the...Mark, you're engaged to Jill?- That's right, yes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- And your mum is next to Jill. - Indeed. Yeah.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Right. And then the two gentlemen on the end, how do you fit in?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- We're just friends.- Yeah. - Long-standing friends.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Excellent. And you quiz together?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Yeah.- Yes.- We do, yes. Every week.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29How do you do when you quiz?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I think probably every third week we win,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- so we do OK.- OK.- Yeah. - They'll all be watching, won't they?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Yeah. Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- We won £12 last week.- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- £12?- Yeah.- OK, nice one.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- Big money.- Yeah, big, big money.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And I should say, your team title, Brighton Rocks,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50is of course the title of a Graham Greene novel.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Yes.- And he comes up...he pops up a lot in the quiz, doesn't he?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Either as an alternative answer or... There's an awful lot to know about Graham Greene.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00OK. When he was born, Kevin?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- 1904.- 1904?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- When did he die?- '91. - How many books did he write?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Oh, I don't know. A lot.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Anyway. That's good, we've caught them out.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Every day there is £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:02:15 > 0:02:16rolls over to the next show.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It's a bit more than £12 up for grabs today, Brighton Rocks.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23The Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- which means £10,000 says you can't beat them today.- Wow.- Not bad.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So worth giving it a go for.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34So who would like this?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Well.- You going to go for this? - Do you think I should do that?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Yes. Yeah.- Shall I go for that? - Yeah.- OK.- Yeah.- Give it a go?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- I'll go for that. - Against which Egghead? You can choose from any of them.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46This rather appealing crew we've got here.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I was thinking Chris. - You think Chris?- Chris?- Yeah?- Chris?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Yeah. He doesn't always look happy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54All right. I'll go for Chris.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Yeah. Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- What are they saying about you, Chris?- I don't know.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I don't care. Say what they like.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK. He's in a good mood today.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04So, Mark from Brighton Rocks
0:03:04 > 0:03:07against Chris from the Eggheads on Film & TV.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08And, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:08 > 0:03:13would you please take your positions in our question room?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14So, Mark, you're a hypnotherapist?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19That's right, yes. Yeah. I'm working hard right now to calm myself.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21It's working, is it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22I think so, yes, yeah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I'm not sure if it's going to improve my memory, but it's certainly keeping me calm.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Are there some people who are unable to respond to hypnotherapy
0:03:29 > 0:03:31cos they can't pay attention for long enough?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I think that's... You've hit it on the head there, actually, Jeremy.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38That's...it's all about focus of mind
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and really paying attention, and people who are very good at that
0:03:41 > 0:03:43tend to be better subjects.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47And you can get people to give up smoking and stop having bad dreams and all that?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Yeah. Post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, nerves,
0:03:51 > 0:03:52going on quiz shows...
0:03:52 > 0:03:53JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Driving test anxiety. You know, the whole sort of gamut, really.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59You ever done any hypnotherapy, Chris?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01No. I don't think I'm susceptible, Jeremy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, you concentrate. You haven't got a low attention span.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- You could probably concentrate on something for years if necessary. - I probably could, yeah, but...
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm too much of a rebel. I won't surrender my will to anybody else.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16All right. Each of you will get three multiple-choice questions on Film & TV.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And, Mark, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I think, selfishly, I'll go first.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Not selfish at all. Here is your first question.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32What are the first names of the comedy duo Watson and Oliver?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Right. Well...
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I... It's Dawn and Jennifer... It's Jennifer Saunders,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49so it's not... I don't think it's that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I'm going to go for Mel and Sue, I think.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It is a bit of a guess. Erm...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59But nothing else is coming up for me at the moment.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, yeah, I'm going to go for Mel and Sue I think, Jeremy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's not Mel and Sue. Now, one of them has quite an unusual surname,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Mel and Sue. Gildroyd, is it?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- I'm not sure of the pronunciation, but it's spelt...- Godric?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Giedroyc.- Giedroyc?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Mel Giedroyc?- Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- It's Lorna and Ingrid, the answer, Mark.- Ah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Lorna Watson, Ingrid Oliver.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24OK, Chris.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Which comedian found fame as Archie in the children's TV series Ballamory?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, it wouldn't be Frankie Boyle, would it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38ALL LAUGH
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Archie. He's the inventor-type, lives up in the pink castle.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Erm...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I think that's Miles Jupp.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It is Miles Jupp. I didn't know this, actually.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I've sort of become aware of him recently, but not in Ballamory.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- But yes, it is Miles Jupp.- Yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So one point to Chris.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Mark, in which film did Groucho Marx play Rufus T Firefly?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Right. Well, the only one I've seen is Duck Soup,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and that was a long time ago.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Rufus Firefly.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Sounds like it might be a kind of a business name.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I don't know what makes me think that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So I'm going to go for Monkey Business.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Let's see if Chris knows this.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I think it's Duck Soup. Dictator of Freedonia.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Duck Soup is the right answer. - Right.- Rufus T Firefly.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, Chris, if you get this one right, you've won the round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Haddonfield, Illinois is the setting for which John Carpenter film
0:06:39 > 0:06:41released in 1978?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Ah, yeah. Now, The Fog is set on the coast
0:06:47 > 0:06:51in New England somewhere, so it's not Illinois.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Haddonfield, Illinois,
0:06:52 > 0:06:57sounds like a likely setting for a slasher called Halloween.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00One of the early classics of that kind.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Yeah, Halloween is the right answer, Chris.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well done. Two out of two.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05So, Mark, no way back for you there, I'm afraid.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07But plenty of time still for your team.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Please, both of you, come back here to the studio.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18The Eggheads have lost no brains. Let's play on. The next subject is Music.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Who's the music person?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- That's Malcolm. I think Malcolm's our man.- Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Malcolm, OK.- I can do that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Against which Egghead, Malcolm?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I'd like to play against Judith, please.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33OK. So it's going to be Malcolm from Brighton Rocks
0:07:33 > 0:07:35against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So you like your music, Malcolm?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Yes. Yes, I do, Jeremy, thank you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- What sort of thing?- A whole range of different types of music,
0:07:48 > 0:07:53ranging from classical to pop, blues...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Dylan is one of my favourites.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58So I hope a question about Bob Dylan comes up.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01How are you on Dylan, Judith?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm not very good on music generally, I'm afraid.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I mean, trouble is, in the car
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I listen to spoken word rather than music.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- You have audio tapes on?- Yes.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I love audio tapes. I can drive from Calais to where I live in France
0:08:15 > 0:08:18and absolutely not notice it if I've got a thriller on or something.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21So you wouldn't choose to have death metal or something like that playing?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24No. Absolutely never.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Slipknot or Megadeth?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28No, I'm afraid not.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK. Well, let's hope they don't come up.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Probably will.- I'll ask you three questions on music.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Whoever answers the most goes through to the Final.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Malcolm, first or second set?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Here we go, and good luck. How old was Elvis Presley at the time of his death is 1977?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Well, Elvis was one of my favourites back in the '60s
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and the late '50s.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59He certainly wasn't 22,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and, unfortunately for him and his family,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05he didn't live to the age of 62.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06He was 42.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09You're right, bless him. 42 years old when he died.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Well done, Malcolm.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Judith, which city is the subject of the song that begins with the lines,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19"Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today."
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Start spreading the news I'm leaving today.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, Barcelona.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30JEREMY LAUGHS
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Is it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33No, Judith.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I think it might be the way I read it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yes. It seemed to fit the rhythm. - I can't read them as they're sung.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39SINGS TO HERSELF
0:09:39 > 0:09:43So I didn't read... # Start spreading the news #
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Oh, New York. - # I'm leaving today #
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I read, "Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today."
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- And for some reason... - It chimed with Barcelona.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It chimed with Barcelona.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I don't know what's going on in your head.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I could hear a song going on in my head.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Can you sing the rest of it? - No, I absolutely cannot.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I suspect there might not be a chorus.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- The answer is New York.- Oh, bother.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Botherations to you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12Malcolm. Which character from folklore is the subject of an 1815 work by Schubert
0:10:12 > 0:10:15based on a poem by Goethe?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Well, I do like classical music.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Schubert is not one of my particular favourites.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31So this is going to be a complete guess.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And I'm going to go for Lorelei.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36See if Judith knows this one?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I think it's Erlking. - Erlking is the right answer, yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Not Lorelei.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Judith, your question.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Who performed the Burt Bacharach song Alfie on the 2004 film remake?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Who performed the Burt Bacharach song Alfie on the 2004 film remake?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I can't even hear that in my head.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Not the 2004 remake one, anyhow.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Erm... Pff.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Joss Stone. - Joss Stone is the right answer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Coo!- There we are. That levels it up after the Barcelona incident.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19May be an advantage not to be able to hear them in your head?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Maybe.- Given what happened earlier.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Malcolm, which English singer was born Pauline Matthews in 1947?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Right. It's the right sort of era for me.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41I'm pretty certain that it's not Dusty Springfield.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46And I'm almost certain that it's not Sandie Shaw.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So that leaves me with Kiki Dee.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Brilliantly bang on. Kiki Dee's the right answer. Well done, Malcolm.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Judith, your question. You need to get this one right.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Which opera by Richard Strauss is based loosely on his own marriage? Is it...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well, I wonder if he was married to someone called Arabella?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I'm not quite sure. I think Arabella?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15I think Intermezzo.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Huh.- Sorry.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Music is the new Sport, obviously.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23That's bad, Judith. You're out.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24There's no easy way to tell you that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You've been knocked out. Malcolm, you're in the final round,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30so well done to your team. Great stuff.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You took on an Egghead and you emerged triumphant.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Good news for our Challengers.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41We're trying to track down the song you hear in your head, Judith?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm not going to sing anything.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44I think I've got it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It's... # Start spreading the news I'm leaving today
0:12:48 > 0:12:51# Barcelona!# Is it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52ALL LAUGH
0:12:52 > 0:12:56The way you read it, Barcelona just followed on.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK. Anyway.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Classic moment there.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05the Eggheads have also lost a brain from the final round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Where do we go next? the answer is History. Who would like this?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11History. Les, do you want to do History?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Do you want me to...?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What do you want to do?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Would you...- I don't want politics. That's the only thing.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Shall I have a go at History? What are we going to do?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Do you want to do History?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Worried about the last one, cos I can't do Politics.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- No, you don't know what the last one'll be.- You don't.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Do you want to have a go, then? - Shall I?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32- Yeah, you do it.- OK.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36OK. Well done. Good. Lots of people going for History, there.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37OK. Jill against which Egghead?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Not Judith or Chris.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Who you thinking about? They're all...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Erm, shall I take... - Eenie, meenie, miney, mo, I think.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45- Barry?- Yeah, go for Barry.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm going to go against Barry, please.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52OK. So it is Jill from Brighton Rocks against Barry. You love your history, Barry.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- I do indeed.- Oh! - Smiling with pleasure.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Don't worry. They're all good on it, to be honest.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- They love it. It's meat and drink. - I love most things.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Good luck. Each of you get three questions.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And, Jill, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Here we go. the Blackfriars Ring, destroyed in a bombing raid in 1942,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22was a famous venue for which sport?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, I'm a really keen tennis player,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31and I haven't heard that related to tennis.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So I'm going to rule tennis out.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Erm...Blackfriars Ring sounds like it could be something to do with
0:14:37 > 0:14:41boxing, so I'm going to take boxing please, Jeremy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Boxing is the correct answer. Well done.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Barry, what name
0:14:46 > 0:14:47was given to the medieval tradesmen
0:14:47 > 0:14:51who softened wool by treating it with urine?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Ah. It won't be a falconer, cos they obviously used birds of prey.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03And I think a fowler was, again, something to do with birds.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I believe that they were fullers.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07They were indeed fullers.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That's right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10OK. Back to you, Jill.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Queen Fabiola was the wife of which European monarch?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25And Fabiola, Jill, is spelt
0:15:25 > 0:15:29F-A-B-I-O-L-A, as you'd expect.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30OK, thank you.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Haven't actually heard this name before,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36but just going on the sound of it,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I don't think it would be Norwegian.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Of course, he doesn't have to marry a Norwegian, necessarily,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45but I'm going to rule out Norway.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It sounds more Spanish to me,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50so I'm going to rule out the Belgian one as well,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54and go for Alphonso of Spain, please.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Alphonso XIII of Spain is your answer.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Barry, do you know the answer?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Kind Badouin...Baudouin of the Belgians.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Good old Baudouin of the Belgians. Could we have guessed that, or...?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Does he have a reputation, or what?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I don't think you could've guessed that, really.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Sorry, Jill. Very tough question, that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Baudouin is the answer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Baudouin of the Belgians.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Barry, which council was called by the Catholic Church
0:16:19 > 0:16:24in response to the Protestant heresies of Martin Luther and others?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Well, the Council of Nicaea was much earlier.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I think that was in the 4th or 5th century AD.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And I've not heard of The Council of Florence.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39But the council that the Catholic Church called
0:16:39 > 0:16:41to try and reform the Catholic Church
0:16:41 > 0:16:44in the light of the questions asked by Martin Luther
0:16:44 > 0:16:45was The Council of Trent.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Council of Trent is the right answer.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So you get into the lead, and Jill, you need to get this one right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Who was the first person to sign the death warrant of Charles I?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Was it...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Not absolutely sure on this one, either.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09None of those names are really shouting out to me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13So I'm going to plump for...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Henry Ireton.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Henry Ireton it was not.- Urgh.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It was actually John Bradshaw.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- OK.- So, after three questions,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28there's no way back for you against Barry.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Barry will be in the Final. Jill, you've been knocked out.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32But he's very good at history.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Both of you, come back, rejoin your teams, and we'll play on.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39OK. As it stands, the Challengers have now lost two brains,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41the Eggheads have lost one brain from the Final,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and the last subject before the Final is Arts & Books.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Liz.- That good?- Do you want to?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Liz, OK.- Go on.- You all right?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Which Egghead, Liz?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- It'll be difficult against both. - Yeah, I think it's...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Erm, Pat, I think, please.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58OK. Liz from Brighton Rocks
0:17:58 > 0:18:01against Pat on Arts & Books from the Eggheads.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04To make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Good luck in this round. Arts & Books.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Here we are, Liz.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Your first question. Good luck.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23Robert Neville is the main character in which 1954 novel by Richard Matheson?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Yes. I have to confess, I don't know this.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39But The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow I think is much earlier.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Legends Of The Fall, too, I imagine...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'm not sure, is probably earlier.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'm going to go for I Am Legend, and that's a pure guess.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's a great guess. You've got it right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I Am Legend is the right answer.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Pat,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58the German novel All Quiet On The Western Front,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00was set during which conflict?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's certainly not World War II.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think it's World War I.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Unfortunate ordinary soldiers.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17struggling on the Western Front. I'll go for World War I.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20World War I is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's an amazing, book, actually. Who wrote it?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Anyone? - Erich Maria Remarque.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And his real name was Kramer, but he thought that sounded too Germanic,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30so he reversed his name to make remark.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Oh, it sounds a bit Spanish, yeah. I didn't realise he was German at all.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You got the right answer there, Pat. Well done. World War I.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Liz,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39first published in 1976,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43The Father Christmas Letters were written by which author for his children?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Yeah. I'm pretty sure of this one.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Although I didn't read The Lord of the Rings,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I did try and didn't succeed.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I think CS Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03HG Wells, I'm not aware of any book of letters.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'm going to go for Tolkien.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Tolkien is the right answer. You're playing well.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Really, really good play. OK, Pat.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Which fictional character was featured in the 1953 book Down With Skool?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17S-K-DOUBLE-O-L.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23I don't think it's Bunter.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I read quite a lot of Bunter books when I was young.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27I don't think it's him.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I don't know a great deal about Jennings.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35I have a feeling Nigel Molesworth commits atrocities with spelling.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Erm...I'm not sure.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41It could be either, but I think I'll go for Molesworth.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Nigel Molesworth is quite right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Playing well, you two, both of you. Liz, your question.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49In Rene Magritte's work,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51The Discovery Of Fire,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55which musical instrument is depicted in flames?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I'm pretty sure it's not a cello,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03although, having said that, it probably is.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Erm...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I can't visualise it, although I do know his work.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm going to go for tuba.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You're right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Yes!- Three out of three.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Great play.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Pat, if you don't get this right, you're out of the final round.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Lillian Hellman's play, The Little Foxes,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27takes its title from a line in which book of the Bible?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Ah, let me think.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Song Of Solomon.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41No, there's not really any way of working it out.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Any of those books could refer to foxes.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I think it's either Jeremiah or Lamentations.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I'm going to have to have a guess and go with Lamentations.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Interesting, you narrowed it down to the two that were wrong.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Oh, dear.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Song Of Solomon is the right answer.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57So, Liz, well done. You're in the final round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Extremely well played from somebody who loves her books.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04If you both come back to us now, we will play that final round.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:13 > 0:22:15won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17So, Mark and Jill from Brighton Rocks,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and Judith and Pat from the Eggheads,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29So, Liz, Les, and Malcolm you are playing to win Brighton Rocks £10,000.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Kevin, Barry and Chris, you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41You are allowed to confer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So, Liz, Les and Malcolm, the question is,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46can you, with your three brains,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49give the Eggheads a massive pounding?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50And do you want to go first or second?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I think we'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Here we go. Good luck to you three.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02With which role is the England cricketer Ian Bell most associated?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08He's a batsman, Les, isn't he?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Well, he certainly doesn't bowl
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and he's definitely not a wicketkeeper.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- I'm sitting out on this. - He's definitely a batsman.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think he bats about three or four for England,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21so he's definitely a batsman.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Batsman is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Well done.- One point to you. Eggheads, your question.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Teddington Lock is a feature of which English river?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Tides flow on the Thames. - It is, yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It's the highest tidal point on the Thames.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Thames is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Back to you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45What is the name of the Regents Park mansion
0:23:45 > 0:23:49which is the residence of the US ambassador? Is it..
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- I personally haven't got a clue. - Nor have I.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- Hanover sounds similar. - About the right sort of era.- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Doesn't it? Regency.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Want to try it?- Go for that.- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Well, we're completely unsure about this,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18but we'd like to submit Hanover Lodge as our answer, please.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21OK. Shall I see if the Eggheads know if that's right?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23ALL: Winfield House.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25They all said it together, which usually means they're right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29And they are. Winfield House it is.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, Eggs. Your second question. See if you can take the lead.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38The author Nevil Shute was also a successful pioneer in which field?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- It was aviation.- Aviation, isn't it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- He designed the R101, among other things.- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49He worked in the aviation industry.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What was he doing? What was he flying?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54He was on the engineering and design side.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56OK, OK.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Aviation is your answer,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00and aviation is correct. So you're in the lead.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And that means...got to hang on tight, here.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04It could be bumpy.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Fingers crossed.- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08You've got to get this one right, or it's over.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11What was the profession of Dame Veronica Wedgwood,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14the third woman to be appointed a member of The Order Of Merit?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Was she...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Pff.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- I've heard of her.- Have you? - Have you heard of her?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Never. I haven't, no.- Erm...
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Ah!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32There was a CV Wedgewood who wrote historical books, wasn't there?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Well, go for that, then.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Erm...- I don't know the answer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39(I don't know.) What are we going to say?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Well, we could be in your hands here.- Historian?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I think we're submitting, as we're not quite sure about this one,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Jeremy, the answer of Historian.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Historian is your answer. And that was because, Liz, there was a...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Well, I know there somebody called CV Wedgewood who writes
0:25:54 > 0:25:57historical books.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Same one?- Yeah, it is.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01- You got it right.- Star. Well done.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Historian.- Well done, Liz.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, I hope that earlier mistake
0:26:06 > 0:26:08isn't going to be too expensive for you, with the US mansion,
0:26:08 > 0:26:13cos this answer could give the Eggheads the contest, if they get it right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15And they may not.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19What type of mineral is Cairngorm?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Eggheads, is it...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26What type of mineral is Cairngorm?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Hmm.- I think we can agree on quartz.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- Can't we?- Yes. - My mum had a Cairngorm brooch.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- Yeah?- And it was sort of...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- What colour?- Amber colour with sort of streaks in it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39So I'll go with smoky quartz.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- I don't think... I'm pretty sure it's not rose quartz.- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Milky quartz, smoky quartz. - I've never heard of milky quartz.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I have heard of rose quartz.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52It's milky just because of the opaque whitish colour.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54How did you describe your mum's brooch?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's... Well, she said it was a Cairngorm.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59She might have been deluding herself.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02It was a, sort of, amber-coloured stone
0:27:02 > 0:27:04with, sort of, grey flecks in it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Definitely sounds smoky, doesn't it? - Sounds smoky, yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08More than milky. OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Not too sure, Jeremy, but we're going to go with smoky.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's the first time I've heard them use their parents' jewellery
0:27:15 > 0:27:18as route to an answer.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21That's... They've tried lots of things, but not that.
