0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team are all fourth-year medical students
0:00:39 > 0:00:44at Newcastle University and are currently the Dental and Medical School's quiz champions.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Mm-hmm. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Arthur, I'm 22, and I'm a medical student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Jonny, and 23, and I'm a medical student.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Liam, I'm 21, and I'm also a medical student.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Well, welcome to you, Pulse. Good to hear you're quiz champions.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Of course, we have a fistful of champions over there.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13How competitive is it, then, to win the Medical School's quiz?
0:01:13 > 0:01:18It's very competitive. A lot of teams enter, a lot of different ages,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21current doctors, first-years, like, the full range.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- So it's pretty competitive. - And what size are the teams?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Is it similar to Eggheads? A team of five of you?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29A maximum of eight, but I think we had about five...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Well, this, and one more. - One more, yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34OK, well, good to see you. Should be a good quiz.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37May need your medical skills if you do beat the Eggheads.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Maybe a bit of reviving required over there.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Maybe.- So, best of luck today.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers, however,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, Pulse, the Eggheads have won the last five games.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56That means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Our first round is going to be on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02And which one of you would like to take it on?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05ALL SPEAK AT ONCE That'll be me, guys.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- That'll be myself. - Pick any Egghead you like, then.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Chris?- Go for Chris.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Erm, I'd like to face Chris, please.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Ha-ha!- Well, this is getting predictable, isn't it, Dermot?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Predictable, but fun!- It is.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22OK, let's have Matt and Chris into the Question Room please,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25just to make sure you can't confer, Matt.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Well, Matt, I guess you squeezed a bit of television and film watching
0:02:29 > 0:02:31in between your studies and your quizzing, then?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Mm, yeah, just about!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35All right, let's put it to the test.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Matt, first question then.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48In 2010, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc presented the first series
0:02:48 > 0:02:50of a TV competition based on which activity?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, I can't say I've heard of those two.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Something says I'm going to rule out carpentry straightaway.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09And I don't really recall ever hearing of or seeing anything
0:03:09 > 0:03:13about amateur dramatics, so I'm going to go with baking.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Baking, yeah, it's all the rage.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Baking is the right answer, yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:24Seems to have been an outbreak of baking programmes in 2010 and 2011.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26They say it's something to do with difficult economic times.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30People like to stay at home and do something wholesome.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, baking is the right answer there, confirmed that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And your first question, Chris -
0:03:36 > 0:03:39in 2011, who was named as the replacement for Claudia Winkleman
0:03:39 > 0:03:42as the presenter of the TV show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, it's not the sort of thing I watch, but I have heard something
0:03:49 > 0:03:52about Zoe Ball of late, so I want to go with Zoe Ball.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Zoe Ball.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Zoe Ball is correct.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57OK, back to you, Matt.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02In the 1996 film Dunston Checks In, starring Jason Alexander
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and Rupert Everett, what type of creature is Dunston?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I don't know.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12A film about a gibbon, that's quite specific,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15so I'm going to rule that out.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Again, it'll have to be a guess. I'll go with a film about a chimpanzee.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Chimpanzee, OK.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26It's not a chimpanzee and indeed not a gibbon,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28so therefore, an orang-utan.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30So, a chance for Chris for the lead.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Chris, in 2010, Pauline Quirke joined the cast of which TV soap
0:04:33 > 0:04:35playing a character called Hazel?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, I've never watched EastEnders
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and I don't think she's in that anyway.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44She's not turned up in Corrie.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I used to watch Emmerdale, but I've rather lost track of it lately.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I don't know who half the people are,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53but Pauline Quirke has joined the cast of Emmerdale.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Pauline Quirke in Emmerdale as Hazel.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's absolutely right.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It means, Matt, you need to get this.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04In 1961, Lauren Bacall married which actor?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, again, I'm afraid...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I am not quite sure.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Why not straight down the middle, have a guess, Jason Robards.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Good guess, it's the right answer.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Saved yourself there, Matt.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Chris, with the upper-hand, faces another question
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and potentially gets into the final round here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Tara Reid played Bunny in which Coen brothers film?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, Blood Simple's a gory, gangster-type thing.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I don't think there would be a character called Bunny in that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48The Big Lebowski is about bowling.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52There might some kind of bowling groupie called Bunny in that,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54but since Burn After Reading's a sort of...
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Well, it's not a romcom, but it's that sort of film,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'll go with Burn After Reading.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Burn After Reading with a character called Bunny in it. Other Eggheads?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'd have gone for The Big Lebowski.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's The Big Lebowski. Big Lebowski.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So, a let off for Matt.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14We go into Sudden Death. First round, first Sudden Death element.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And just to remind you, Matt,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19no more choices for you to look at if you do have to guess.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Which comedy veteran made a cameo appearance as Frank Bryce
0:06:24 > 0:06:27in the 2005 film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'm going to...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I think he did appear in one of the Harry Potter films,
0:06:33 > 0:06:34so I'm going to guess, John Cleese.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36John Cleese in Harry Potter.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Comedy veteran, certainly, but not he.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41No, not John Cleese.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Do you know, Chris? - Not Norman Wisdom, is it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46No, not Norman Wisdom. Other Eggheads?
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Eric Sykes?- Eric Sykes from Daphne. - CJ: Well done!- Well done, Daphne!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Tough one, that. Matt didn't get it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The only one in the room, in the studio, was Daphne with that,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and a chance again then for Chris.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo is the Italian title
0:07:04 > 0:07:07of which 1966 spaghetti western?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09That's The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Well translated.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Two more and we'd have the Eggheads. I won't say which is which!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15THEY LAUGH
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It is the right answer. Chris, you are through to the final round.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Bad luck, Matt, fought hard to stay there,
0:07:21 > 0:07:22but Chris got you in the end.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well, the Eggheads triumphing first there,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30knocking one member of Pulse out of the final round.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34On to our second head-to-head then, today, and this is Science.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Four would-be doctors remaining there to play this.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Who wants to take it on?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Matt?- I'm taking it?- You take it. - Who are you going to have?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Erm, I don't know.- I think...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Take Kevin out.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50We'll have a go at this.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53OK, we'll have Matt T, please.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- OK, Matt, and you're going to play...?- I'm going to play Kevin.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Going to play Kevin. I heard the guys there saying,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02the other guys saying "Take Kevin out."
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Easier said than done, I think, as Matt will find out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10But obviously a deep science knowledge there, given your studies.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Let's test it in the Question Room, please.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Well, Matt, as I said, you've been sent into that Question Room
0:08:15 > 0:08:20by your team with exhortations to take Kevin out ringing in your ears.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Just let me give you a sense of how difficult that MAY be.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27We don't know, he could have an off day, but he's played 25 times
0:08:27 > 0:08:30in the entirety of Eggheads in this category, and lost loads.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34He's lost once. So...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38a 96% success rate that translates into.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42And you all know about his quiz titles.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'll go first, Dermot.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OK, and best of luck, Matt. First question is this -
0:08:51 > 0:08:54which part of the body is protected by the cranium?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'd get a lot of stick for this if I got it wrong.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The lungs and the heart are protected by the ribs,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04and the brain is protected by the cranium. I'll go for the brain.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Very good idea. It's the right answer, yes, brain.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Kevin, an injectable form of which metal
0:09:11 > 0:09:14is sometimes used to treat rheumatoid arthritis?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19My mother actually had this. It's gold.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Gold injections to treat forms of arthritis.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Correct, Kevin.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And Matt...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30What did the 18th century physician Franz Anton Mesmer
0:09:30 > 0:09:34call the intangible or mysterious force said to influence human beings
0:09:34 > 0:09:36that are used to treat his patients?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Erm, I don't think it's animal magnetism,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47so I'm going to stay away from that one, I think.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm not really sure.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm not sure if telepathy used to mean that or still does,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but I'm drawn towards collective subconscious,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so I'm going to go for the collective subconscious.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58The collective subconscious from Mesmer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It's incorrect.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It is magnetism, animal magnetism.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06And Kevin, is that where we get "mesmerised" and...?
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Yeah, he used hypnotism as his treatment method, as it were.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13And hence words like "mesmerised."
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Oh, absolutely, yes.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Animal magnetism.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Not identified by Matt, so a chance for Kevin.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23What type of creature is a morpho, native to the Americas?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32I haven't heard of this, but I would assume it might have something...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Well, maybe it's what I'm meant to assume. I don't know.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38..that it would have something to do with metamorphosis.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42And the butterfly changes its state, so I'll try butterfly.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47It's only someone like you who finds that easy to work out.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yes, butterfly is correct, yes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51And I'm sure, identifying the reason why.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55It means you need to get this, Matt.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The Appleton Layer is part of which region of the Earth's atmosphere?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ah...
0:11:04 > 0:11:09I think the ionosphere's the last layer. Maybe the least studied.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But I'm going to go for...
0:11:12 > 0:11:13troposphere.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Ruling out the ionosphere, which WAS the right answer.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Ionosphere...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22which means you're not hitting the heights today on Eggheads.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You got the medical question, that's the important thing.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- That's the important thing! - Kevin's in the final round.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Well, Pulse have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The Eggheads are all still there.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39So, let's get on with it and try and get rid of an Egghead here
0:11:39 > 0:11:40on our next head-to-head. It's Sport.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Who would like to play this? The two Matts have gone,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45so what have we got - Arthur, Jonny or Liam?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think we'll be choosing Arthur for this round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- OK, Arthur, and your Egghead is...? - Judith, I think.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56No reaction whatsoever, because in her head she's going,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58"Oh, joy and celebration!"
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- That's just right. - That's the kind of thing.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04OK, let's have Arthur and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Well, Arthur, you've chosen to play sport,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and I hear you're a very useful footballer?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm half-decent, yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Captain of the first team?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Yeah, at the university, yeah. - What position do you play?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I'm a centre-back.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh! Glad to hear it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Are you uncompromising, no quarter given?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- I'd say I'm a bit more cultured, Dermot.- Ah, OK!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Arthur, let's play the round. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Can I go first, please?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You certainly can go first, and here's your first question, then.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39In a Formula 1 race, what colour flag is used to indicate to a driver
0:12:39 > 0:12:43that he's about to be lapped and should let the faster car overtake?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Erm, well, I'm not a Formula 1 fan,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52but I'm going to have to...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54plump for blue.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Blue's correct. Good start, Arthur.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Judith, which tennis player won the Wimbledon ladies' singles
0:13:01 > 0:13:06in the year Andre Agassi won his only Wimbledon men's singles title?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Oh, I don't know.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I can't remember the date he won it, but he's married to Steffi Graf,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21so maybe it was a nice little pairing and it was Steffi Graf.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Steffi Graf.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yeah, presumably they danced together then at the Wimbledon Ball,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28as is tradition afterwards, and maybe that's where it all started.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It's the right answer, yes, Steffi Graf. Year, CJ?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- '92.- 1992, Judith, just for you to store away there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38And your next question, Arthur.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41In which country is Turffontein Racecourse?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I know that the last World Cup was in South Africa,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and they did play in Bloemfontein,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and that sounds a bit like Turffontein to me,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55so I'm going to go for South Africa.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Good link, that'll do.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59South Africa is correct. Well done, Arthur.
0:14:01 > 0:14:032-1.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Judith, which 2011 golf major was held at the Atlanta Athletic Club
0:14:08 > 0:14:10in Johns Creek, Georgia?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Atlanta.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Well, it's not the Masters, cos that's Augusta.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24So it's either the PGA Championship or the US Open,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27so it's an eenie-meenie. Um...
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I think it's the PGA Championship.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- PGA Championship. - It's the other one?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37No, it's the right answer. I was saying, you know,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39bit of knowledge helping to eliminate the Masters,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42turning it into a 50/50, picking the right one.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Narrowing the odds down there, and it's 2-2. Very interesting.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Arthur, the heptathlete, Ghada Shouaa,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53won which country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in 1996?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I don't have a clue.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I wouldn't know how to start eliminating.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- I'll go for the first one. I'm going to go for Lebanon, Dermot.- Lebanon.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Lebanon's first-ever Olympic gold medal.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10No, it's not. Do you know, Judith?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Syria?- Syria, yeah. Syria.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14She's Syrian.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16So, a chance for Judith, then.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21The Beira Rio stadium, home to the football team SC Internacional,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23is in which Brazilian city?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Um...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Oh, dear. I don't know!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Um, Recife.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37No, it's not. Do you Eggheads know of the other two?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Porto Alegre.- Porto Alegre.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So, a let off there.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Arthur, you're into Sudden Death again. And you know how this works.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You're not going to see any choices.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Which future Wimbledon men's singles tennis champion
0:15:51 > 0:15:55won the Wimbledon boys' singles title in 1998?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I'm guessing they're currently playing,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02and I'm going to go for...
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Just trying to think how old Roger Federer is.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- I'm going to go for Roger Federer. - OK, how old Roger Federer is
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and how young he might have been when he won the boys' singles title,
0:16:14 > 0:16:15if it is he.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17It is, it's Roger Federer. It's correct.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Well done, Arthur.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24And Judith, which British athlete won javelin gold medals
0:16:24 > 0:16:29at the Commonwealth Games in 1978, 1986 and 1990?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I haven't the faintest idea.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Absolutely not a clue. - Is that a pass?- Yes, it is.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Well, you will know it when I tell you.- I won't.- Yes, you will.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Tessa Sanderson.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, I didn't know that, actually.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43But let's concentrate on Arthur,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47because that's a major, major blow for Pulse.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You are through to the final round, congratulations.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Could you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56OK, well, that's good news for Pulse, that head-to-head,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00as it means they've now knocked an Egghead out of the final round.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Two members of Pulse missing,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05and we approach our last subject before that final round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07And this one is Politics.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And we've got Jonny or Liam left to play it. Politics.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14We've already earmarked Liam for General Knowledge.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's got to be you then, Jonny.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19OK, Jonny, and by process of elimination, you have to play.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Kevin, Judith and Chris have played,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25so it's that lovely pair in the middle - Daphne or CJ?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- I'm going to take on Daphne. - Daphne, OK.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Worked, that, didn't it?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Leaning puppy-like on Daphne's shoulder.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Jonny and Daphne, then, into the Question Room, please.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37OK, then, Jonny,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41well, it's turned around Pulse's fortunes with Arthur's victory.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Let's see we can get you into the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's Politics, and you get to choose first or second.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I think I'll buck the trend and go second, please.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Turning to you, then, Daphne, first set of questions coming your way.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Who interviewed Richard Nixon
0:17:56 > 0:17:59in his first major post-Watergate interviews?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04David Frost.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I'd like to have seen Russell Harty doing it, myself.- Yes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And it would've been far better.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Good as Sir David Frost was.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It is the right answer, yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17David Frost, with the memorable stage play and film as a result.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Frost/Nixon.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Your first question, then, Jonny.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Established in England and Wales in 2004,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28the IPCC investigates the most serious complaints
0:18:28 > 0:18:31and allegations of misconduct against whom?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36IPCC.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I haven't heard them mentioned with the press.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40For that reason, I'm going to rule out press.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And I didn't hear them mentioned with the politicians' expenses scandal,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46so I'm going to go for the police.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Well worked out, it's correct.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51The Independent Police Complaints Commission.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53All square.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55And Daphne, what is the name of the circular hall
0:18:55 > 0:19:01capped by a 180ft-high dome at the centre of the US Capitol?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Ah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Well, I used to live in Folkestone,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11and there was a big building there called the Rotunda.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15And that had a big dome, so, Rotunda.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Folkestone, Washington DC. Pretty similar, really!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yeah, it is the Rotunda. Yes, that's correct.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Well done.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Amazing the way these Eggheads make those links.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And Jonny, which wife of an American president
0:19:28 > 0:19:33was referred to by Harry Truman as "The First Lady of the world."
0:19:36 > 0:19:39All I know about the Eisenhowers...
0:19:39 > 0:19:45is I think they were to do with World War II. I don't think Truman was.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Although, it could be actually Teddy Roosevelt.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm going to go for...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Eleanor Roosevelt.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Eleanor Roosevelt...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55is the right answer, yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So, all square and everything to play for.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Daphne, in a speech at his party conference in the 1960s,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05which British politician characterised his party as
0:20:05 > 0:20:08"a moral crusade or it is nothing?"
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Not heard of it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19They were all active in the '60s.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Um...it's a guess.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Jo Grimond.- Jo Grimond.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28As you identified there, all around, but all with different parties,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32so Grimond with the Liberals there, you're going for.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34"Moral crusade or it's nothing."
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- It's not, though, it's Labour and Harold Wilson.- Oh, well!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Harold Wilson, not identified by Daphne.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43So, are you going to follow Arthur into the final round?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46All depends on this answer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Jonny, in an 1872 speech,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51how did Disraeli famously describe Gladstone's ministers?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Erm...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I rule out "extinct" because, I don't know,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06maybe he was describing them as sort of petering out on their way out.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Erm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11"Inferno" sounds like a strong word that a rival politician
0:21:11 > 0:21:13would use against someone else.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'll plump for "exhausted volcanoes."
0:21:16 > 0:21:19When you said that, I thought you were going for "extinguished."
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It does mean, though, you have chosen the right answer.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29"Exhausted volcanoes."
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And you've come right back at the Eggheads,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34knocked Daphne out, going to be all square in the final round.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Well, some knife-edge exchanges so far have led us to this.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:50 > 0:21:51aren't allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54So, the two Matts from Pulse,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57and Judith and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So then, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, you're playing to win Pulse £6,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Kevin, CJ and Chris,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09you are playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:22:09 > 0:22:12the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and this time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You are allowed to confer in this, the final round.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22So, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, the question is,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28And guys, do you want to go first or second?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Erm, we'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Off we go then, and best of luck.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Kerry Katona was married to which member of Westlife?
0:22:42 > 0:22:47I think we know the answer to this one, Dermot.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52I'm not much of a fan of Westlife myself, but it's Brian McFadden.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Brian McFadden. I thought you'd be concentrating on your studies,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58not reading celebrity tittle-tattle.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It is the right answer, yes, Brian McFadden.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02..Kerry Katona once married.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And Eggheads, Speke Airport
0:23:05 > 0:23:07is the former name for the airport at which city?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11S-P-E-K-E.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I think we're reasonably happy that's in Liverpool.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Speke Airport...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19former name for Liverpool's airport, now known as...?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- EGGHEADS: John Lennon. - John Lennon, yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25It's the right answer, and back to you, Pulse.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The distinguished actor Norbert Smith
0:23:28 > 0:23:31was a creation of which comedian?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37When it initially came up, I thought it was Harry Enfield,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- just because...- Norbert what? - Norbert Smith.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Norbert Smith.- Harry Enfield does... - Harry Enfield?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47But isn't Harry Enfield a creation, that's not his name?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49No, that is his name.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I think he does a lot more sketch shows, so it's much more likely.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- To have a random... - Is Norbert Smith the nosy dad
0:23:56 > 0:23:58who keeps going round in his sketch show saying, "Only me!"
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- It might well be. - That might be his sketch.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Are you happy with that?- If I was naming him, Norbert's a good name.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I would have plumped for Harry Enfield.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Shall we go with that? - Happy with that, happy with that?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Harry Enfield.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14That's your answer, Harry Enfield.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Just for future reference, in the question there, you segued off...
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I did say "The distinguished actor, Norbert Smith," just, you know,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24as you went off saying, "Was he the nosy Dad?"
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It's Harry Enfield, though, it is the right answer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Didn't want to worry you,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30but it's always a good tip to keep listening...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Keep the question focused in your mind,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and I will read it again, should you need to refresh your mind
0:24:36 > 0:24:39about what was actually contained in the question.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Eggheads, your second question -
0:24:41 > 0:24:46which feature of London Zoo was co-designed by Lord Snowdon?
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- Oh, dear!- Can you remember this? - Nope!- It's not the reptile house.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01The penguin pool was designed by Berthold Lubetkin.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Yeah.- Was it? OK.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I think it is called the Snowdon Aviary, now I'm thinking about it.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Yeah, that's what I think. I think, by process of elimination...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12The penguin pool goes back a way, and I don't think Snowdon was...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yeah, it's the sort of Festival of Britain time, wasn't it, the penguin?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Co-involved on this. Fine. OK?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20We think we've got the designer for the penguin pool,
0:25:20 > 0:25:26we don't think the reptile house has been redesigned recently enough,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30so we think we're going to go for the aviary.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Daphne, very relieved.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's the right answer, yes, the aviary. Yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36OK...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and third question, then, to Pulse.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42What is the Shakespeare-related title of the 1947 work
0:25:42 > 0:25:46by Jackson Pollock that consists of lines of poured paint covering
0:25:46 > 0:25:52various bits of debris such as a torn cigarette, coins and nails?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00OK, I wonder if that means the world's a stage
0:26:00 > 0:26:04as in his interpretation of what the world is at the time.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08That was what I was thinking when it came up. I don't know the other two.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12It lends itself more towards that than any of the others, I think.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yeah, I agree.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- The World's A Stage, Dermot. - OK, going for The World's A Stage.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Can see the link.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It's not the right answer. Eggheads?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Full Fathom Five. - Full Fathom Five from...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Why Shakespeare related, that's from...?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- EGGHEADS: The Tempest.- The Tempest.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK, well, nothing there for the lads,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and a chance for the Eggheads, then.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36In the poem by WB Rands,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40what was the issue with Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47What was his name again, please? Let's see if we can scan it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- ATTEMPTING RHYME RHYTHM - Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Never would... - HE MUTTERS RHYME
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Well, the only one that remotely scans is "never would shut a door."
0:26:57 > 0:26:59"Never would shut a door," yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02"Could be such a bore" is too fast, "Always demand more" is too fast.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05On the basis of scansion, I would go for "Never would shut a door."
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Sort of thing that would annoy people about an obstructive sort of kid.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Exactly the same reason, yeah, but never heard of it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17None of us have ever heard of this poem, but just on basic scansion,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20"Never would shut a door" seems to fit the best, so we'll try that.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22OK, not heard of it,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but using another technique to get the right answer, Eggheads!
0:27:25 > 0:27:26You've won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well, Pulse still beating there, really.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38You were just looking forward to a bit of Sudden Death there in the final round.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40The Eggheads, when they hadn't heard of the poem,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42then came up with another method.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46But Pulse, thank you very much indeed for playing Eggheads today.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It's been a lot of fun, been very good to see you,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51and I like the way the game turned and swung there with Arthur's round.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And then Jonny got into the final round as well,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56so it was all square in that final round.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59But not to be in the end.
