These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today are... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
This team are all fourth-year medical students | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
at Newcastle University and are currently the Dental and Medical School's quiz champions. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
Mm-hmm. Let's meet them. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi, my name's Arthur, I'm 22, and I'm a medical student. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm Jonny, and 23, and I'm a medical student. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Liam, I'm 21, and I'm also a medical student. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Well, welcome to you, Pulse. Good to hear you're quiz champions. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Of course, we have a fistful of champions over there. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
How competitive is it, then, to win the Medical School's quiz? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
It's very competitive. A lot of teams enter, a lot of different ages, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
current doctors, first-years, like, the full range. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-So it's pretty competitive. -And what size are the teams? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Is it similar to Eggheads? A team of five of you? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
A maximum of eight, but I think we had about five... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Well, this, and one more. -One more, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
OK, well, good to see you. Should be a good quiz. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
May need your medical skills if you do beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Maybe a bit of reviving required over there. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
-Maybe. -So, best of luck today. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers, however, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So, Pulse, the Eggheads have won the last five games. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
That means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
Our first round is going to be on the subject of Film & Television. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
And which one of you would like to take it on? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
ALL SPEAK AT ONCE That'll be me, guys. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-That'll be myself. -Pick any Egghead you like, then. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-Chris? -Go for Chris. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Erm, I'd like to face Chris, please. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-Ha-ha! -Well, this is getting predictable, isn't it, Dermot? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-Predictable, but fun! -It is. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
OK, let's have Matt and Chris into the Question Room please, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
just to make sure you can't confer, Matt. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Well, Matt, I guess you squeezed a bit of television and film watching | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
in between your studies and your quizzing, then? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Mm, yeah, just about! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
All right, let's put it to the test. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -I'll go first, please. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Matt, first question then. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
In 2010, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc presented the first series | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
of a TV competition based on which activity? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Well, I can't say I've heard of those two. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Something says I'm going to rule out carpentry straightaway. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:04 | |
And I don't really recall ever hearing of or seeing anything | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
about amateur dramatics, so I'm going to go with baking. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Baking, yeah, it's all the rage. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Baking is the right answer, yes. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Seems to have been an outbreak of baking programmes in 2010 and 2011. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:24 | |
They say it's something to do with difficult economic times. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
People like to stay at home and do something wholesome. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
OK, baking is the right answer there, confirmed that. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
And your first question, Chris - | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
in 2011, who was named as the replacement for Claudia Winkleman | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
as the presenter of the TV show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Well, it's not the sort of thing I watch, but I have heard something | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
about Zoe Ball of late, so I want to go with Zoe Ball. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Zoe Ball. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Zoe Ball is correct. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
OK, back to you, Matt. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
In the 1996 film Dunston Checks In, starring Jason Alexander | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
and Rupert Everett, what type of creature is Dunston? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
I don't know. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
A film about a gibbon, that's quite specific, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
so I'm going to rule that out. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Again, it'll have to be a guess. I'll go with a film about a chimpanzee. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Chimpanzee, OK. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
It's not a chimpanzee and indeed not a gibbon, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
so therefore, an orang-utan. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
So, a chance for Chris for the lead. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Chris, in 2010, Pauline Quirke joined the cast of which TV soap | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
playing a character called Hazel? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Well, I've never watched EastEnders | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
and I don't think she's in that anyway. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
She's not turned up in Corrie. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
I used to watch Emmerdale, but I've rather lost track of it lately. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
I don't know who half the people are, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
but Pauline Quirke has joined the cast of Emmerdale. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
Pauline Quirke in Emmerdale as Hazel. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
It's absolutely right. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
It means, Matt, you need to get this. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
In 1961, Lauren Bacall married which actor? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
Well, again, I'm afraid... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
I am not quite sure. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Why not straight down the middle, have a guess, Jason Robards. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Good guess, it's the right answer. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Saved yourself there, Matt. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Chris, with the upper-hand, faces another question | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
and potentially gets into the final round here. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Tara Reid played Bunny in which Coen brothers film? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Well, Blood Simple's a gory, gangster-type thing. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
I don't think there would be a character called Bunny in that. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
The Big Lebowski is about bowling. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
There might some kind of bowling groupie called Bunny in that, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
but since Burn After Reading's a sort of... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Well, it's not a romcom, but it's that sort of film, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
I'll go with Burn After Reading. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Burn After Reading with a character called Bunny in it. Other Eggheads? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
I'd have gone for The Big Lebowski. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
It's The Big Lebowski. Big Lebowski. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
So, a let off for Matt. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
We go into Sudden Death. First round, first Sudden Death element. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
And just to remind you, Matt, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
no more choices for you to look at if you do have to guess. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Which comedy veteran made a cameo appearance as Frank Bryce | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
in the 2005 film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
I'm going to... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
I think he did appear in one of the Harry Potter films, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
so I'm going to guess, John Cleese. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
John Cleese in Harry Potter. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Comedy veteran, certainly, but not he. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
No, not John Cleese. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-Do you know, Chris? -Not Norman Wisdom, is it? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
No, not Norman Wisdom. Other Eggheads? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-Eric Sykes? -Eric Sykes from Daphne. -CJ: Well done! -Well done, Daphne! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
Tough one, that. Matt didn't get it. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
The only one in the room, in the studio, was Daphne with that, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
and a chance again then for Chris. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo is the Italian title | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
of which 1966 spaghetti western? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
That's The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Well translated. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Two more and we'd have the Eggheads. I won't say which is which! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
It is the right answer. Chris, you are through to the final round. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Bad luck, Matt, fought hard to stay there, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
but Chris got you in the end. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Well, the Eggheads triumphing first there, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
knocking one member of Pulse out of the final round. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
On to our second head-to-head then, today, and this is Science. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
Four would-be doctors remaining there to play this. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Who wants to take it on? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
-Matt? -I'm taking it? -You take it. -Who are you going to have? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-Erm, I don't know. -I think... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
Take Kevin out. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
We'll have a go at this. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
OK, we'll have Matt T, please. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-OK, Matt, and you're going to play...? -I'm going to play Kevin. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Going to play Kevin. I heard the guys there saying, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
the other guys saying "Take Kevin out." | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Easier said than done, I think, as Matt will find out. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
But obviously a deep science knowledge there, given your studies. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
Let's test it in the Question Room, please. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Well, Matt, as I said, you've been sent into that Question Room | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
by your team with exhortations to take Kevin out ringing in your ears. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
Just let me give you a sense of how difficult that MAY be. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
We don't know, he could have an off day, but he's played 25 times | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
in the entirety of Eggheads in this category, and lost loads. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
He's lost once. So... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
a 96% success rate that translates into. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
And you all know about his quiz titles. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -I think I'll go first, Dermot. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
OK, and best of luck, Matt. First question is this - | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
which part of the body is protected by the cranium? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
I'd get a lot of stick for this if I got it wrong. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
The lungs and the heart are protected by the ribs, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
and the brain is protected by the cranium. I'll go for the brain. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Very good idea. It's the right answer, yes, brain. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
Kevin, an injectable form of which metal | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
is sometimes used to treat rheumatoid arthritis? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
My mother actually had this. It's gold. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Gold injections to treat forms of arthritis. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
Correct, Kevin. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
And Matt... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
What did the 18th century physician Franz Anton Mesmer | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
call the intangible or mysterious force said to influence human beings | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
that are used to treat his patients? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Erm, I don't think it's animal magnetism, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
so I'm going to stay away from that one, I think. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
I'm not really sure. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
I'm not sure if telepathy used to mean that or still does, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
but I'm drawn towards collective subconscious, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
so I'm going to go for the collective subconscious. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
The collective subconscious from Mesmer. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
It's incorrect. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
It is magnetism, animal magnetism. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
And Kevin, is that where we get "mesmerised" and...? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Yeah, he used hypnotism as his treatment method, as it were. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
And hence words like "mesmerised." | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Oh, absolutely, yes. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
Animal magnetism. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Not identified by Matt, so a chance for Kevin. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
What type of creature is a morpho, native to the Americas? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
I haven't heard of this, but I would assume it might have something... | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Well, maybe it's what I'm meant to assume. I don't know. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
..that it would have something to do with metamorphosis. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
And the butterfly changes its state, so I'll try butterfly. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
It's only someone like you who finds that easy to work out. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
Yes, butterfly is correct, yes. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
And I'm sure, identifying the reason why. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
It means you need to get this, Matt. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
The Appleton Layer is part of which region of the Earth's atmosphere? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Ah... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
I think the ionosphere's the last layer. Maybe the least studied. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
But I'm going to go for... | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
troposphere. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
Ruling out the ionosphere, which WAS the right answer. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
Ionosphere... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
which means you're not hitting the heights today on Eggheads. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
You got the medical question, that's the important thing. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-That's the important thing! -Kevin's in the final round. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Well, Pulse have now lost two brains from the final round. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
The Eggheads are all still there. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
So, let's get on with it and try and get rid of an Egghead here | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
on our next head-to-head. It's Sport. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
Who would like to play this? The two Matts have gone, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
so what have we got - Arthur, Jonny or Liam? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
I think we'll be choosing Arthur for this round. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-OK, Arthur, and your Egghead is...? -Judith, I think. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
No reaction whatsoever, because in her head she's going, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
"Oh, joy and celebration!" | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-That's just right. -That's the kind of thing. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
OK, let's have Arthur and Judith into the Question Room, please. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Well, Arthur, you've chosen to play sport, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
and I hear you're a very useful footballer? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
I'm half-decent, yeah. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
Captain of the first team? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-Yeah, at the university, yeah. -What position do you play? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
I'm a centre-back. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
Oh! Glad to hear it. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Are you uncompromising, no quarter given? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
-I'd say I'm a bit more cultured, Dermot. -Ah, OK! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
Arthur, let's play the round. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Can I go first, please? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
You certainly can go first, and here's your first question, then. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
In a Formula 1 race, what colour flag is used to indicate to a driver | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
that he's about to be lapped and should let the faster car overtake? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
Erm, well, I'm not a Formula 1 fan, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
but I'm going to have to... | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
plump for blue. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Blue's correct. Good start, Arthur. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Judith, which tennis player won the Wimbledon ladies' singles | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
in the year Andre Agassi won his only Wimbledon men's singles title? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
Oh, I don't know. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
I can't remember the date he won it, but he's married to Steffi Graf, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
so maybe it was a nice little pairing and it was Steffi Graf. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
Steffi Graf. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:22 | |
Yeah, presumably they danced together then at the Wimbledon Ball, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
as is tradition afterwards, and maybe that's where it all started. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
It's the right answer, yes, Steffi Graf. Year, CJ? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-'92. -1992, Judith, just for you to store away there. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
And your next question, Arthur. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
In which country is Turffontein Racecourse? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
I know that the last World Cup was in South Africa, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
and they did play in Bloemfontein, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
and that sounds a bit like Turffontein to me, | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
so I'm going to go for South Africa. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Good link, that'll do. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
South Africa is correct. Well done, Arthur. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
2-1. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
Judith, which 2011 golf major was held at the Atlanta Athletic Club | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
in Johns Creek, Georgia? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Atlanta. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Well, it's not the Masters, cos that's Augusta. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
So it's either the PGA Championship or the US Open, | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
so it's an eenie-meenie. Um... | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
I think it's the PGA Championship. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-PGA Championship. -It's the other one? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
No, it's the right answer. I was saying, you know, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
bit of knowledge helping to eliminate the Masters, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
turning it into a 50/50, picking the right one. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
Narrowing the odds down there, and it's 2-2. Very interesting. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
Arthur, the heptathlete, Ghada Shouaa, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
won which country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in 1996? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
I don't have a clue. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
I wouldn't know how to start eliminating. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
-I'll go for the first one. I'm going to go for Lebanon, Dermot. -Lebanon. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
Lebanon's first-ever Olympic gold medal. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
No, it's not. Do you know, Judith? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-Syria? -Syria, yeah. Syria. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
She's Syrian. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
So, a chance for Judith, then. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
The Beira Rio stadium, home to the football team SC Internacional, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
is in which Brazilian city? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Um... | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Oh, dear. I don't know! | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Um, Recife. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
No, it's not. Do you Eggheads know of the other two? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
-Porto Alegre. -Porto Alegre. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
So, a let off there. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
Arthur, you're into Sudden Death again. And you know how this works. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
You're not going to see any choices. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Which future Wimbledon men's singles tennis champion | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
won the Wimbledon boys' singles title in 1998? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
I'm guessing they're currently playing, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
and I'm going to go for... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
Just trying to think how old Roger Federer is. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-I'm going to go for Roger Federer. -OK, how old Roger Federer is | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
and how young he might have been when he won the boys' singles title, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
if it is he. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
It is, it's Roger Federer. It's correct. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Well done, Arthur. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
And Judith, which British athlete won javelin gold medals | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
at the Commonwealth Games in 1978, 1986 and 1990? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
I haven't the faintest idea. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-Absolutely not a clue. -Is that a pass? -Yes, it is. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-Well, you will know it when I tell you. -I won't. -Yes, you will. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Tessa Sanderson. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Well, I didn't know that, actually. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
But let's concentrate on Arthur, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
because that's a major, major blow for Pulse. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
You are through to the final round, congratulations. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
Could you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
OK, well, that's good news for Pulse, that head-to-head, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
as it means they've now knocked an Egghead out of the final round. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
Two members of Pulse missing, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
and we approach our last subject before that final round. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
And this one is Politics. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
And we've got Jonny or Liam left to play it. Politics. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
We've already earmarked Liam for General Knowledge. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
It's got to be you then, Jonny. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
OK, Jonny, and by process of elimination, you have to play. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Kevin, Judith and Chris have played, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
so it's that lovely pair in the middle - Daphne or CJ? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-I'm going to take on Daphne. -Daphne, OK. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
Worked, that, didn't it? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Leaning puppy-like on Daphne's shoulder. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
Jonny and Daphne, then, into the Question Room, please. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
OK, then, Jonny, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
well, it's turned around Pulse's fortunes with Arthur's victory. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
Let's see we can get you into the final round. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
It's Politics, and you get to choose first or second. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
I think I'll buck the trend and go second, please. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
Turning to you, then, Daphne, first set of questions coming your way. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
Who interviewed Richard Nixon | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
in his first major post-Watergate interviews? | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
David Frost. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
-I'd like to have seen Russell Harty doing it, myself. -Yes. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
And it would've been far better. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
Good as Sir David Frost was. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
It is the right answer, yes. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
David Frost, with the memorable stage play and film as a result. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
Frost/Nixon. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Your first question, then, Jonny. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Established in England and Wales in 2004, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
the IPCC investigates the most serious complaints | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
and allegations of misconduct against whom? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
IPCC. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
I haven't heard them mentioned with the press. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
For that reason, I'm going to rule out press. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
And I didn't hear them mentioned with the politicians' expenses scandal, | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
so I'm going to go for the police. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Well worked out, it's correct. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
All square. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
And Daphne, what is the name of the circular hall | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
capped by a 180ft-high dome at the centre of the US Capitol? | 0:18:55 | 0:19:01 | |
Ah. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
Well, I used to live in Folkestone, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
and there was a big building there called the Rotunda. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
And that had a big dome, so, Rotunda. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
Folkestone, Washington DC. Pretty similar, really! | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
Yeah, it is the Rotunda. Yes, that's correct. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Well done. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Amazing the way these Eggheads make those links. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
And Jonny, which wife of an American president | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
was referred to by Harry Truman as "The First Lady of the world." | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
All I know about the Eisenhowers... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
is I think they were to do with World War II. I don't think Truman was. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:45 | |
Although, it could be actually Teddy Roosevelt. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
I'm going to go for... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Eleanor Roosevelt. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
Eleanor Roosevelt... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
is the right answer, yes. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
So, all square and everything to play for. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Daphne, in a speech at his party conference in the 1960s, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
which British politician characterised his party as | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
"a moral crusade or it is nothing?" | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Not heard of it. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
They were all active in the '60s. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
Um...it's a guess. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-Jo Grimond. -Jo Grimond. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
As you identified there, all around, but all with different parties, | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
so Grimond with the Liberals there, you're going for. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
"Moral crusade or it's nothing." | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-It's not, though, it's Labour and Harold Wilson. -Oh, well! | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Harold Wilson, not identified by Daphne. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
So, are you going to follow Arthur into the final round? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
All depends on this answer. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Jonny, in an 1872 speech, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
how did Disraeli famously describe Gladstone's ministers? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
Erm... | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
I rule out "extinct" because, I don't know, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
maybe he was describing them as sort of petering out on their way out. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Erm... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
"Inferno" sounds like a strong word that a rival politician | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
would use against someone else. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
I'll plump for "exhausted volcanoes." | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
When you said that, I thought you were going for "extinguished." | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
It does mean, though, you have chosen the right answer. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
"Exhausted volcanoes." | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
And you've come right back at the Eggheads, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
knocked Daphne out, going to be all square in the final round. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Well, some knife-edge exchanges so far have led us to this. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
aren't allowed to take part in this round. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
So, the two Matts from Pulse, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
and Judith and Daphne from the Eggheads, | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
would you all leave the studio now, please? | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
So then, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, you're playing to win Pulse £6,000. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
Kevin, CJ and Chris, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
you are playing for something which money cannot buy - | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
and this time, the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
You are allowed to confer in this, the final round. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
So, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, the question is, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
And guys, do you want to go first or second? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Erm, we'd like to go first, please, Dermot. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Off we go then, and best of luck. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Kerry Katona was married to which member of Westlife? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
I think we know the answer to this one, Dermot. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
I'm not much of a fan of Westlife myself, but it's Brian McFadden. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
Brian McFadden. I thought you'd be concentrating on your studies, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
not reading celebrity tittle-tattle. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
It is the right answer, yes, Brian McFadden. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
..Kerry Katona once married. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
And Eggheads, Speke Airport | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
is the former name for the airport at which city? | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
S-P-E-K-E. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
I think we're reasonably happy that's in Liverpool. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Speke Airport... | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
former name for Liverpool's airport, now known as...? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-EGGHEADS: John Lennon. -John Lennon, yeah. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
It's the right answer, and back to you, Pulse. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
The distinguished actor Norbert Smith | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
was a creation of which comedian? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
When it initially came up, I thought it was Harry Enfield, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
-just because... -Norbert what? -Norbert Smith. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
-Norbert Smith. -Harry Enfield does... -Harry Enfield? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
But isn't Harry Enfield a creation, that's not his name? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
No, that is his name. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
I think he does a lot more sketch shows, so it's much more likely. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
-To have a random... -Is Norbert Smith the nosy dad | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
who keeps going round in his sketch show saying, "Only me!" | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
-It might well be. -That might be his sketch. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
-Are you happy with that? -If I was naming him, Norbert's a good name. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
I would have plumped for Harry Enfield. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-Shall we go with that? -Happy with that, happy with that? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Harry Enfield. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
That's your answer, Harry Enfield. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Just for future reference, in the question there, you segued off... | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
I did say "The distinguished actor, Norbert Smith," just, you know, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
as you went off saying, "Was he the nosy Dad?" | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
It's Harry Enfield, though, it is the right answer. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Didn't want to worry you, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
but it's always a good tip to keep listening... | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Keep the question focused in your mind, | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
and I will read it again, should you need to refresh your mind | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
about what was actually contained in the question. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Eggheads, your second question - | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
which feature of London Zoo was co-designed by Lord Snowdon? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
-Oh, dear! -Can you remember this? -Nope! -It's not the reptile house. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:56 | |
The penguin pool was designed by Berthold Lubetkin. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
-Yeah. -Was it? OK. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
I think it is called the Snowdon Aviary, now I'm thinking about it. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
Yeah, that's what I think. I think, by process of elimination... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
The penguin pool goes back a way, and I don't think Snowdon was... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Yeah, it's the sort of Festival of Britain time, wasn't it, the penguin? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
Co-involved on this. Fine. OK? | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
We think we've got the designer for the penguin pool, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
we don't think the reptile house has been redesigned recently enough, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:26 | |
so we think we're going to go for the aviary. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
Daphne, very relieved. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
It's the right answer, yes, the aviary. Yeah. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
OK... | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
and third question, then, to Pulse. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
What is the Shakespeare-related title of the 1947 work | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
by Jackson Pollock that consists of lines of poured paint covering | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
various bits of debris such as a torn cigarette, coins and nails? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
OK, I wonder if that means the world's a stage | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
as in his interpretation of what the world is at the time. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
That was what I was thinking when it came up. I don't know the other two. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
It lends itself more towards that than any of the others, I think. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
Yeah, I agree. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
-The World's A Stage, Dermot. -OK, going for The World's A Stage. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
Can see the link. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
It's not the right answer. Eggheads? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
-Full Fathom Five. -Full Fathom Five from... | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Why Shakespeare related, that's from...? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-EGGHEADS: The Tempest. -The Tempest. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
OK, well, nothing there for the lads, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
and a chance for the Eggheads, then. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
In the poem by WB Rands, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
what was the issue with Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
What was his name again, please? Let's see if we can scan it. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
-ATTEMPTING RHYME RHYTHM -Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
-Never would... -HE MUTTERS RHYME | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Well, the only one that remotely scans is "never would shut a door." | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
"Never would shut a door," yeah. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
"Could be such a bore" is too fast, "Always demand more" is too fast. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
On the basis of scansion, I would go for "Never would shut a door." | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
Sort of thing that would annoy people about an obstructive sort of kid. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Exactly the same reason, yeah, but never heard of it. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
None of us have ever heard of this poem, but just on basic scansion, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:17 | |
"Never would shut a door" seems to fit the best, so we'll try that. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
OK, not heard of it, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
but using another technique to get the right answer, Eggheads! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
You've won. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
Well, Pulse still beating there, really. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
You were just looking forward to a bit of Sudden Death there in the final round. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
The Eggheads, when they hadn't heard of the poem, | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
then came up with another method. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
But Pulse, thank you very much indeed for playing Eggheads today. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
It's been a lot of fun, been very good to see you, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
and I like the way the game turned and swung there with Arthur's round. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
And then Jonny got into the final round as well, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
so it was all square in that final round. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
But not to be in the end. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Best of luck with the continuing studies, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
and no doubt the Eggheads will see you again sometime. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
When they're in Newcastle, I'm saying, after a few pub quizzes. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. The winning streak continues. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £6,000. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
That means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:26 | |
£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:30 | |
