These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:09

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:16

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

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

0:00:230:00:26

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

0:00:260:00:30

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:300:00:33

And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...

0:00:330:00:36

This team are all fourth-year medical students

0:00:360:00:39

at Newcastle University and are currently the Dental and Medical School's quiz champions.

0:00:390:00:44

Mm-hmm. Let's meet them.

0:00:440:00:46

Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student.

0:00:460:00:49

Hi, my name's Arthur, I'm 22, and I'm a medical student.

0:00:490:00:53

Hi, I'm Jonny, and 23, and I'm a medical student.

0:00:530:00:57

Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, and I'm a medical student.

0:00:570:01:00

Hi, I'm Liam, I'm 21, and I'm also a medical student.

0:01:000:01:04

Well, welcome to you, Pulse. Good to hear you're quiz champions.

0:01:040:01:07

Of course, we have a fistful of champions over there.

0:01:070:01:09

How competitive is it, then, to win the Medical School's quiz?

0:01:090:01:13

It's very competitive. A lot of teams enter, a lot of different ages,

0:01:130:01:18

current doctors, first-years, like, the full range.

0:01:180:01:21

-So it's pretty competitive.

-And what size are the teams?

0:01:210:01:24

Is it similar to Eggheads? A team of five of you?

0:01:240:01:26

A maximum of eight, but I think we had about five...

0:01:260:01:29

-Well, this, and one more.

-One more, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:01:290:01:32

OK, well, good to see you. Should be a good quiz.

0:01:320:01:34

May need your medical skills if you do beat the Eggheads.

0:01:340:01:37

Maybe a bit of reviving required over there.

0:01:370:01:39

-Maybe.

-So, best of luck today.

0:01:390:01:41

Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers, however,

0:01:410:01:45

if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:450:01:47

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:470:01:49

So, Pulse, the Eggheads have won the last five games.

0:01:490:01:52

That means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:520:01:56

Our first round is going to be on the subject of Film & Television.

0:01:560:02:00

And which one of you would like to take it on?

0:02:000:02:02

ALL SPEAK AT ONCE That'll be me, guys.

0:02:020:02:05

-That'll be myself.

-Pick any Egghead you like, then.

0:02:050:02:07

-Chris?

-Go for Chris.

0:02:070:02:10

Erm, I'd like to face Chris, please.

0:02:100:02:12

-Ha-ha!

-Well, this is getting predictable, isn't it, Dermot?

0:02:120:02:16

-Predictable, but fun!

-It is.

0:02:160:02:18

OK, let's have Matt and Chris into the Question Room please,

0:02:180:02:22

just to make sure you can't confer, Matt.

0:02:220:02:25

Well, Matt, I guess you squeezed a bit of television and film watching

0:02:250:02:29

in between your studies and your quizzing, then?

0:02:290:02:31

Mm, yeah, just about!

0:02:310:02:33

All right, let's put it to the test.

0:02:330:02:35

-Do you want to go first or second?

-I'll go first, please.

0:02:350:02:38

Matt, first question then.

0:02:410:02:42

In 2010, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc presented the first series

0:02:420:02:48

of a TV competition based on which activity?

0:02:480:02:50

Well, I can't say I've heard of those two.

0:02:540:02:58

Something says I'm going to rule out carpentry straightaway.

0:02:580:03:04

And I don't really recall ever hearing of or seeing anything

0:03:040:03:09

about amateur dramatics, so I'm going to go with baking.

0:03:090:03:13

Baking, yeah, it's all the rage.

0:03:130:03:15

Baking is the right answer, yes.

0:03:150:03:17

Seems to have been an outbreak of baking programmes in 2010 and 2011.

0:03:170:03:24

They say it's something to do with difficult economic times.

0:03:240:03:26

People like to stay at home and do something wholesome.

0:03:260:03:30

OK, baking is the right answer there, confirmed that.

0:03:300:03:33

And your first question, Chris -

0:03:330:03:36

in 2011, who was named as the replacement for Claudia Winkleman

0:03:360:03:39

as the presenter of the TV show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two?

0:03:390:03:42

Well, it's not the sort of thing I watch, but I have heard something

0:03:450:03:49

about Zoe Ball of late, so I want to go with Zoe Ball.

0:03:490:03:52

Zoe Ball.

0:03:520:03:54

Zoe Ball is correct.

0:03:540:03:55

OK, back to you, Matt.

0:03:550:03:57

In the 1996 film Dunston Checks In, starring Jason Alexander

0:03:570:04:02

and Rupert Everett, what type of creature is Dunston?

0:04:020:04:05

I don't know.

0:04:080:04:10

A film about a gibbon, that's quite specific,

0:04:100:04:12

so I'm going to rule that out.

0:04:120:04:15

Again, it'll have to be a guess. I'll go with a film about a chimpanzee.

0:04:160:04:20

Chimpanzee, OK.

0:04:200:04:22

It's not a chimpanzee and indeed not a gibbon,

0:04:220:04:26

so therefore, an orang-utan.

0:04:260:04:28

So, a chance for Chris for the lead.

0:04:280:04:30

Chris, in 2010, Pauline Quirke joined the cast of which TV soap

0:04:300:04:33

playing a character called Hazel?

0:04:330:04:35

Well, I've never watched EastEnders

0:04:380:04:40

and I don't think she's in that anyway.

0:04:400:04:42

She's not turned up in Corrie.

0:04:420:04:44

I used to watch Emmerdale, but I've rather lost track of it lately.

0:04:440:04:47

I don't know who half the people are,

0:04:470:04:49

but Pauline Quirke has joined the cast of Emmerdale.

0:04:490:04:53

Pauline Quirke in Emmerdale as Hazel.

0:04:530:04:54

It's absolutely right.

0:04:540:04:56

It means, Matt, you need to get this.

0:04:560:04:59

In 1961, Lauren Bacall married which actor?

0:04:590:05:04

Well, again, I'm afraid...

0:05:080:05:11

I am not quite sure.

0:05:110:05:13

Why not straight down the middle, have a guess, Jason Robards.

0:05:160:05:20

Good guess, it's the right answer.

0:05:200:05:22

Saved yourself there, Matt.

0:05:240:05:26

Chris, with the upper-hand, faces another question

0:05:260:05:29

and potentially gets into the final round here.

0:05:290:05:32

Tara Reid played Bunny in which Coen brothers film?

0:05:320:05:36

Well, Blood Simple's a gory, gangster-type thing.

0:05:400:05:43

I don't think there would be a character called Bunny in that.

0:05:430:05:45

The Big Lebowski is about bowling.

0:05:450:05:48

There might some kind of bowling groupie called Bunny in that,

0:05:480:05:52

but since Burn After Reading's a sort of...

0:05:520:05:54

Well, it's not a romcom, but it's that sort of film,

0:05:540:05:58

I'll go with Burn After Reading.

0:05:580:06:00

Burn After Reading with a character called Bunny in it. Other Eggheads?

0:06:000:06:03

I'd have gone for The Big Lebowski.

0:06:030:06:06

It's The Big Lebowski. Big Lebowski.

0:06:060:06:08

So, a let off for Matt.

0:06:080:06:10

We go into Sudden Death. First round, first Sudden Death element.

0:06:100:06:14

And just to remind you, Matt,

0:06:140:06:16

no more choices for you to look at if you do have to guess.

0:06:160:06:19

Which comedy veteran made a cameo appearance as Frank Bryce

0:06:190:06:24

in the 2005 film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire?

0:06:240:06:27

I'm going to...

0:06:280:06:30

I think he did appear in one of the Harry Potter films,

0:06:300:06:33

so I'm going to guess, John Cleese.

0:06:330:06:34

John Cleese in Harry Potter.

0:06:340:06:36

Comedy veteran, certainly, but not he.

0:06:360:06:39

No, not John Cleese.

0:06:390:06:41

-Do you know, Chris?

-Not Norman Wisdom, is it?

0:06:410:06:44

No, not Norman Wisdom. Other Eggheads?

0:06:440:06:46

-Eric Sykes?

-Eric Sykes from Daphne.

-CJ: Well done!

-Well done, Daphne!

0:06:460:06:51

Tough one, that. Matt didn't get it.

0:06:510:06:53

The only one in the room, in the studio, was Daphne with that,

0:06:530:06:57

and a chance again then for Chris.

0:06:570:06:59

Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo is the Italian title

0:06:590:07:04

of which 1966 spaghetti western?

0:07:040:07:07

That's The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.

0:07:070:07:09

Well translated.

0:07:090:07:11

Two more and we'd have the Eggheads. I won't say which is which!

0:07:110:07:13

THEY LAUGH

0:07:130:07:15

It is the right answer. Chris, you are through to the final round.

0:07:150:07:19

Bad luck, Matt, fought hard to stay there,

0:07:190:07:21

but Chris got you in the end.

0:07:210:07:22

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:07:220:07:25

Well, the Eggheads triumphing first there,

0:07:250:07:27

knocking one member of Pulse out of the final round.

0:07:270:07:30

On to our second head-to-head then, today, and this is Science.

0:07:300:07:34

Four would-be doctors remaining there to play this.

0:07:360:07:39

Who wants to take it on?

0:07:390:07:40

-Matt?

-I'm taking it?

-You take it.

-Who are you going to have?

0:07:400:07:43

-Erm, I don't know.

-I think...

0:07:430:07:45

Take Kevin out.

0:07:450:07:48

We'll have a go at this.

0:07:480:07:50

OK, we'll have Matt T, please.

0:07:500:07:53

-OK, Matt, and you're going to play...?

-I'm going to play Kevin.

0:07:530:07:56

Going to play Kevin. I heard the guys there saying,

0:07:560:07:59

the other guys saying "Take Kevin out."

0:07:590:08:02

Easier said than done, I think, as Matt will find out.

0:08:020:08:06

But obviously a deep science knowledge there, given your studies.

0:08:060:08:10

Let's test it in the Question Room, please.

0:08:100:08:12

Well, Matt, as I said, you've been sent into that Question Room

0:08:120:08:15

by your team with exhortations to take Kevin out ringing in your ears.

0:08:150:08:20

Just let me give you a sense of how difficult that MAY be.

0:08:200:08:23

We don't know, he could have an off day, but he's played 25 times

0:08:230:08:27

in the entirety of Eggheads in this category, and lost loads.

0:08:270:08:30

He's lost once. So...

0:08:300:08:34

a 96% success rate that translates into.

0:08:340:08:38

And you all know about his quiz titles.

0:08:380:08:42

-Do you want to go first or second?

-I think I'll go first, Dermot.

0:08:420:08:45

OK, and best of luck, Matt. First question is this -

0:08:480:08:51

which part of the body is protected by the cranium?

0:08:510:08:54

I'd get a lot of stick for this if I got it wrong.

0:08:560:08:58

The lungs and the heart are protected by the ribs,

0:08:580:09:01

and the brain is protected by the cranium. I'll go for the brain.

0:09:010:09:04

Very good idea. It's the right answer, yes, brain.

0:09:040:09:08

Kevin, an injectable form of which metal

0:09:090:09:11

is sometimes used to treat rheumatoid arthritis?

0:09:110:09:14

My mother actually had this. It's gold.

0:09:160:09:19

Gold injections to treat forms of arthritis.

0:09:190:09:23

Correct, Kevin.

0:09:230:09:24

And Matt...

0:09:240:09:26

What did the 18th century physician Franz Anton Mesmer

0:09:260:09:30

call the intangible or mysterious force said to influence human beings

0:09:300:09:34

that are used to treat his patients?

0:09:340:09:36

Erm, I don't think it's animal magnetism,

0:09:410:09:45

so I'm going to stay away from that one, I think.

0:09:450:09:47

I'm not really sure.

0:09:470:09:49

I'm not sure if telepathy used to mean that or still does,

0:09:490:09:52

but I'm drawn towards collective subconscious,

0:09:520:09:54

so I'm going to go for the collective subconscious.

0:09:540:09:56

The collective subconscious from Mesmer.

0:09:560:09:58

It's incorrect.

0:09:580:10:00

It is magnetism, animal magnetism.

0:10:000:10:02

And Kevin, is that where we get "mesmerised" and...?

0:10:020:10:06

Yeah, he used hypnotism as his treatment method, as it were.

0:10:060:10:11

And hence words like "mesmerised."

0:10:110:10:13

Oh, absolutely, yes.

0:10:130:10:15

Animal magnetism.

0:10:150:10:17

Not identified by Matt, so a chance for Kevin.

0:10:170:10:19

What type of creature is a morpho, native to the Americas?

0:10:190:10:23

I haven't heard of this, but I would assume it might have something...

0:10:280:10:32

Well, maybe it's what I'm meant to assume. I don't know.

0:10:320:10:34

..that it would have something to do with metamorphosis.

0:10:340:10:38

And the butterfly changes its state, so I'll try butterfly.

0:10:380:10:42

It's only someone like you who finds that easy to work out.

0:10:420:10:47

Yes, butterfly is correct, yes.

0:10:470:10:49

And I'm sure, identifying the reason why.

0:10:490:10:51

It means you need to get this, Matt.

0:10:510:10:55

The Appleton Layer is part of which region of the Earth's atmosphere?

0:10:550:10:58

Ah...

0:11:020:11:04

I think the ionosphere's the last layer. Maybe the least studied.

0:11:040:11:09

But I'm going to go for...

0:11:090:11:12

troposphere.

0:11:120:11:13

Ruling out the ionosphere, which WAS the right answer.

0:11:130:11:16

Ionosphere...

0:11:160:11:19

which means you're not hitting the heights today on Eggheads.

0:11:190:11:22

You got the medical question, that's the important thing.

0:11:220:11:25

-That's the important thing!

-Kevin's in the final round.

0:11:250:11:27

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:270:11:30

Well, Pulse have now lost two brains from the final round.

0:11:300:11:33

The Eggheads are all still there.

0:11:330:11:36

So, let's get on with it and try and get rid of an Egghead here

0:11:360:11:39

on our next head-to-head. It's Sport.

0:11:390:11:40

Who would like to play this? The two Matts have gone,

0:11:400:11:43

so what have we got - Arthur, Jonny or Liam?

0:11:430:11:45

I think we'll be choosing Arthur for this round.

0:11:450:11:48

-OK, Arthur, and your Egghead is...?

-Judith, I think.

0:11:480:11:52

No reaction whatsoever, because in her head she's going,

0:11:530:11:56

"Oh, joy and celebration!"

0:11:560:11:58

-That's just right.

-That's the kind of thing.

0:11:580:12:00

OK, let's have Arthur and Judith into the Question Room, please.

0:12:000:12:04

Well, Arthur, you've chosen to play sport,

0:12:040:12:06

and I hear you're a very useful footballer?

0:12:060:12:09

I'm half-decent, yeah.

0:12:090:12:11

Captain of the first team?

0:12:110:12:13

-Yeah, at the university, yeah.

-What position do you play?

0:12:130:12:16

I'm a centre-back.

0:12:160:12:17

Oh! Glad to hear it.

0:12:170:12:19

Are you uncompromising, no quarter given?

0:12:190:12:21

-I'd say I'm a bit more cultured, Dermot.

-Ah, OK!

0:12:210:12:25

Arthur, let's play the round. Do you want to go first or second?

0:12:250:12:28

Can I go first, please?

0:12:280:12:29

You certainly can go first, and here's your first question, then.

0:12:320:12:35

In a Formula 1 race, what colour flag is used to indicate to a driver

0:12:350:12:39

that he's about to be lapped and should let the faster car overtake?

0:12:390:12:43

Erm, well, I'm not a Formula 1 fan,

0:12:460:12:49

but I'm going to have to...

0:12:490:12:52

plump for blue.

0:12:520:12:54

Blue's correct. Good start, Arthur.

0:12:540:12:56

Judith, which tennis player won the Wimbledon ladies' singles

0:12:580:13:01

in the year Andre Agassi won his only Wimbledon men's singles title?

0:13:010:13:06

Oh, I don't know.

0:13:090:13:11

I can't remember the date he won it, but he's married to Steffi Graf,

0:13:110:13:16

so maybe it was a nice little pairing and it was Steffi Graf.

0:13:160:13:21

Steffi Graf.

0:13:210:13:22

Yeah, presumably they danced together then at the Wimbledon Ball,

0:13:220:13:25

as is tradition afterwards, and maybe that's where it all started.

0:13:250:13:28

It's the right answer, yes, Steffi Graf. Year, CJ?

0:13:280:13:30

-'92.

-1992, Judith, just for you to store away there.

0:13:300:13:35

And your next question, Arthur.

0:13:370:13:38

In which country is Turffontein Racecourse?

0:13:380:13:41

I know that the last World Cup was in South Africa,

0:13:440:13:47

and they did play in Bloemfontein,

0:13:470:13:50

and that sounds a bit like Turffontein to me,

0:13:500:13:53

so I'm going to go for South Africa.

0:13:530:13:55

Good link, that'll do.

0:13:550:13:57

South Africa is correct. Well done, Arthur.

0:13:570:13:59

2-1.

0:14:010:14:03

Judith, which 2011 golf major was held at the Atlanta Athletic Club

0:14:030:14:08

in Johns Creek, Georgia?

0:14:080:14:10

Atlanta.

0:14:140:14:16

Well, it's not the Masters, cos that's Augusta.

0:14:160:14:19

So it's either the PGA Championship or the US Open,

0:14:190:14:24

so it's an eenie-meenie. Um...

0:14:240:14:27

I think it's the PGA Championship.

0:14:280:14:32

-PGA Championship.

-It's the other one?

0:14:320:14:34

No, it's the right answer. I was saying, you know,

0:14:340:14:37

bit of knowledge helping to eliminate the Masters,

0:14:370:14:39

turning it into a 50/50, picking the right one.

0:14:390:14:42

Narrowing the odds down there, and it's 2-2. Very interesting.

0:14:420:14:46

Arthur, the heptathlete, Ghada Shouaa,

0:14:460:14:49

won which country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in 1996?

0:14:490:14:53

I don't have a clue.

0:14:560:14:58

I wouldn't know how to start eliminating.

0:14:580:15:02

-I'll go for the first one. I'm going to go for Lebanon, Dermot.

-Lebanon.

0:15:020:15:06

Lebanon's first-ever Olympic gold medal.

0:15:060:15:08

No, it's not. Do you know, Judith?

0:15:080:15:10

-Syria?

-Syria, yeah. Syria.

0:15:100:15:12

She's Syrian.

0:15:120:15:14

So, a chance for Judith, then.

0:15:140:15:16

The Beira Rio stadium, home to the football team SC Internacional,

0:15:160:15:21

is in which Brazilian city?

0:15:210:15:23

Um...

0:15:260:15:29

Oh, dear. I don't know!

0:15:290:15:32

Um, Recife.

0:15:320:15:35

No, it's not. Do you Eggheads know of the other two?

0:15:350:15:37

-Porto Alegre.

-Porto Alegre.

0:15:370:15:39

So, a let off there.

0:15:390:15:41

Arthur, you're into Sudden Death again. And you know how this works.

0:15:410:15:46

You're not going to see any choices.

0:15:460:15:48

Which future Wimbledon men's singles tennis champion

0:15:480:15:51

won the Wimbledon boys' singles title in 1998?

0:15:510:15:55

I'm guessing they're currently playing,

0:15:550:15:59

and I'm going to go for...

0:15:590:16:02

Just trying to think how old Roger Federer is.

0:16:020:16:04

-I'm going to go for Roger Federer.

-OK, how old Roger Federer is

0:16:070:16:11

and how young he might have been when he won the boys' singles title,

0:16:110:16:14

if it is he.

0:16:140:16:15

It is, it's Roger Federer. It's correct.

0:16:150:16:17

Well done, Arthur.

0:16:170:16:19

And Judith, which British athlete won javelin gold medals

0:16:190:16:24

at the Commonwealth Games in 1978, 1986 and 1990?

0:16:240:16:29

I haven't the faintest idea.

0:16:290:16:31

-Absolutely not a clue.

-Is that a pass?

-Yes, it is.

0:16:310:16:34

-Well, you will know it when I tell you.

-I won't.

-Yes, you will.

0:16:340:16:37

Tessa Sanderson.

0:16:370:16:39

Well, I didn't know that, actually.

0:16:390:16:41

But let's concentrate on Arthur,

0:16:410:16:43

because that's a major, major blow for Pulse.

0:16:430:16:47

You are through to the final round, congratulations.

0:16:470:16:50

Could you both please come back and join your teams?

0:16:500:16:53

OK, well, that's good news for Pulse, that head-to-head,

0:16:530:16:56

as it means they've now knocked an Egghead out of the final round.

0:16:560:17:00

Two members of Pulse missing,

0:17:000:17:01

and we approach our last subject before that final round.

0:17:010:17:05

And this one is Politics.

0:17:050:17:07

And we've got Jonny or Liam left to play it. Politics.

0:17:070:17:11

We've already earmarked Liam for General Knowledge.

0:17:110:17:14

It's got to be you then, Jonny.

0:17:140:17:16

OK, Jonny, and by process of elimination, you have to play.

0:17:160:17:19

Kevin, Judith and Chris have played,

0:17:190:17:21

so it's that lovely pair in the middle - Daphne or CJ?

0:17:210:17:25

-I'm going to take on Daphne.

-Daphne, OK.

0:17:250:17:27

Worked, that, didn't it?

0:17:270:17:29

Leaning puppy-like on Daphne's shoulder.

0:17:290:17:32

Jonny and Daphne, then, into the Question Room, please.

0:17:320:17:34

OK, then, Jonny,

0:17:340:17:37

well, it's turned around Pulse's fortunes with Arthur's victory.

0:17:370:17:41

Let's see we can get you into the final round.

0:17:410:17:43

It's Politics, and you get to choose first or second.

0:17:430:17:46

I think I'll buck the trend and go second, please.

0:17:460:17:48

Turning to you, then, Daphne, first set of questions coming your way.

0:17:510:17:54

Who interviewed Richard Nixon

0:17:540:17:56

in his first major post-Watergate interviews?

0:17:560:17:59

David Frost.

0:18:020:18:04

-I'd like to have seen Russell Harty doing it, myself.

-Yes.

0:18:040:18:07

And it would've been far better.

0:18:070:18:09

Good as Sir David Frost was.

0:18:090:18:11

It is the right answer, yes.

0:18:110:18:13

David Frost, with the memorable stage play and film as a result.

0:18:130:18:17

Frost/Nixon.

0:18:170:18:19

Your first question, then, Jonny.

0:18:190:18:21

Established in England and Wales in 2004,

0:18:210:18:24

the IPCC investigates the most serious complaints

0:18:240:18:28

and allegations of misconduct against whom?

0:18:280:18:31

IPCC.

0:18:340:18:36

I haven't heard them mentioned with the press.

0:18:360:18:38

For that reason, I'm going to rule out press.

0:18:380:18:40

And I didn't hear them mentioned with the politicians' expenses scandal,

0:18:400:18:44

so I'm going to go for the police.

0:18:440:18:46

Well worked out, it's correct.

0:18:460:18:47

The Independent Police Complaints Commission.

0:18:470:18:51

All square.

0:18:510:18:53

And Daphne, what is the name of the circular hall

0:18:530:18:55

capped by a 180ft-high dome at the centre of the US Capitol?

0:18:550:19:01

Ah.

0:19:040:19:05

Well, I used to live in Folkestone,

0:19:050:19:07

and there was a big building there called the Rotunda.

0:19:070:19:11

And that had a big dome, so, Rotunda.

0:19:110:19:15

Folkestone, Washington DC. Pretty similar, really!

0:19:150:19:18

Yeah, it is the Rotunda. Yes, that's correct.

0:19:180:19:21

Well done.

0:19:210:19:23

Amazing the way these Eggheads make those links.

0:19:230:19:26

And Jonny, which wife of an American president

0:19:260:19:28

was referred to by Harry Truman as "The First Lady of the world."

0:19:280:19:33

All I know about the Eisenhowers...

0:19:360:19:39

is I think they were to do with World War II. I don't think Truman was.

0:19:390:19:45

Although, it could be actually Teddy Roosevelt.

0:19:450:19:47

I'm going to go for...

0:19:470:19:49

Eleanor Roosevelt.

0:19:490:19:51

Eleanor Roosevelt...

0:19:510:19:53

is the right answer, yes.

0:19:530:19:55

So, all square and everything to play for.

0:19:550:19:58

Daphne, in a speech at his party conference in the 1960s,

0:19:580:20:02

which British politician characterised his party as

0:20:020:20:05

"a moral crusade or it is nothing?"

0:20:050:20:08

Not heard of it.

0:20:120:20:15

They were all active in the '60s.

0:20:150:20:19

Um...it's a guess.

0:20:190:20:22

-Jo Grimond.

-Jo Grimond.

0:20:220:20:24

As you identified there, all around, but all with different parties,

0:20:240:20:28

so Grimond with the Liberals there, you're going for.

0:20:280:20:32

"Moral crusade or it's nothing."

0:20:320:20:34

-It's not, though, it's Labour and Harold Wilson.

-Oh, well!

0:20:340:20:37

Harold Wilson, not identified by Daphne.

0:20:370:20:40

So, are you going to follow Arthur into the final round?

0:20:400:20:43

All depends on this answer.

0:20:430:20:46

Jonny, in an 1872 speech,

0:20:460:20:47

how did Disraeli famously describe Gladstone's ministers?

0:20:470:20:51

Erm...

0:20:570:20:59

I rule out "extinct" because, I don't know,

0:20:590:21:02

maybe he was describing them as sort of petering out on their way out.

0:21:020:21:06

Erm...

0:21:060:21:08

"Inferno" sounds like a strong word that a rival politician

0:21:080:21:11

would use against someone else.

0:21:110:21:13

I'll plump for "exhausted volcanoes."

0:21:130:21:16

When you said that, I thought you were going for "extinguished."

0:21:160:21:19

It does mean, though, you have chosen the right answer.

0:21:190:21:22

"Exhausted volcanoes."

0:21:270:21:29

And you've come right back at the Eggheads,

0:21:290:21:31

knocked Daphne out, going to be all square in the final round.

0:21:310:21:34

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:21:340:21:38

Well, some knife-edge exchanges so far have led us to this.

0:21:380:21:42

This is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:420:21:44

Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:440:21:47

But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:21:470:21:50

aren't allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:500:21:51

So, the two Matts from Pulse,

0:21:510:21:54

and Judith and Daphne from the Eggheads,

0:21:540:21:57

would you all leave the studio now, please?

0:21:570:22:00

So then, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, you're playing to win Pulse £6,000.

0:22:000:22:04

Kevin, CJ and Chris,

0:22:040:22:06

you are playing for something which money cannot buy -

0:22:060:22:09

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:090:22:12

As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,

0:22:120:22:15

and this time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:22:150:22:17

You are allowed to confer in this, the final round.

0:22:170:22:20

So, Arthur, Jonny and Liam, the question is,

0:22:200:22:22

are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:22:220:22:26

And guys, do you want to go first or second?

0:22:260:22:28

Erm, we'd like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:22:280:22:31

Off we go then, and best of luck.

0:22:330:22:36

Kerry Katona was married to which member of Westlife?

0:22:360:22:39

I think we know the answer to this one, Dermot.

0:22:420:22:47

I'm not much of a fan of Westlife myself, but it's Brian McFadden.

0:22:470:22:52

Brian McFadden. I thought you'd be concentrating on your studies,

0:22:520:22:55

not reading celebrity tittle-tattle.

0:22:550:22:58

It is the right answer, yes, Brian McFadden.

0:22:580:23:00

..Kerry Katona once married.

0:23:000:23:02

And Eggheads, Speke Airport

0:23:020:23:05

is the former name for the airport at which city?

0:23:050:23:07

S-P-E-K-E.

0:23:090:23:11

I think we're reasonably happy that's in Liverpool.

0:23:110:23:14

Speke Airport...

0:23:140:23:17

former name for Liverpool's airport, now known as...?

0:23:170:23:19

-EGGHEADS: John Lennon.

-John Lennon, yeah.

0:23:190:23:22

It's the right answer, and back to you, Pulse.

0:23:220:23:25

The distinguished actor Norbert Smith

0:23:250:23:28

was a creation of which comedian?

0:23:280:23:31

When it initially came up, I thought it was Harry Enfield,

0:23:330:23:37

-just because...

-Norbert what?

-Norbert Smith.

0:23:370:23:39

-Norbert Smith.

-Harry Enfield does...

-Harry Enfield?

0:23:400:23:44

But isn't Harry Enfield a creation, that's not his name?

0:23:440:23:47

No, that is his name.

0:23:470:23:49

I think he does a lot more sketch shows, so it's much more likely.

0:23:490:23:52

-To have a random...

-Is Norbert Smith the nosy dad

0:23:520:23:56

who keeps going round in his sketch show saying, "Only me!"

0:23:560:23:58

-It might well be.

-That might be his sketch.

0:23:580:24:01

-Are you happy with that?

-If I was naming him, Norbert's a good name.

0:24:010:24:05

I would have plumped for Harry Enfield.

0:24:050:24:07

-Shall we go with that?

-Happy with that, happy with that?

0:24:070:24:09

Harry Enfield.

0:24:090:24:11

That's your answer, Harry Enfield.

0:24:110:24:14

Just for future reference, in the question there, you segued off...

0:24:140:24:17

I did say "The distinguished actor, Norbert Smith," just, you know,

0:24:170:24:21

as you went off saying, "Was he the nosy Dad?"

0:24:210:24:24

It's Harry Enfield, though, it is the right answer.

0:24:240:24:27

Didn't want to worry you,

0:24:270:24:28

but it's always a good tip to keep listening...

0:24:280:24:30

Keep the question focused in your mind,

0:24:300:24:33

and I will read it again, should you need to refresh your mind

0:24:330:24:36

about what was actually contained in the question.

0:24:360:24:39

Eggheads, your second question -

0:24:390:24:41

which feature of London Zoo was co-designed by Lord Snowdon?

0:24:410:24:46

-Oh, dear!

-Can you remember this?

-Nope!

-It's not the reptile house.

0:24:510:24:56

The penguin pool was designed by Berthold Lubetkin.

0:24:560:25:01

-Yeah.

-Was it? OK.

0:25:010:25:03

I think it is called the Snowdon Aviary, now I'm thinking about it.

0:25:030:25:06

Yeah, that's what I think. I think, by process of elimination...

0:25:060:25:09

The penguin pool goes back a way, and I don't think Snowdon was...

0:25:090:25:12

Yeah, it's the sort of Festival of Britain time, wasn't it, the penguin?

0:25:120:25:15

Co-involved on this. Fine. OK?

0:25:150:25:17

We think we've got the designer for the penguin pool,

0:25:170:25:20

we don't think the reptile house has been redesigned recently enough,

0:25:200:25:26

so we think we're going to go for the aviary.

0:25:260:25:30

Daphne, very relieved.

0:25:300:25:32

It's the right answer, yes, the aviary. Yeah.

0:25:320:25:34

OK...

0:25:340:25:36

and third question, then, to Pulse.

0:25:360:25:38

What is the Shakespeare-related title of the 1947 work

0:25:380:25:42

by Jackson Pollock that consists of lines of poured paint covering

0:25:420:25:46

various bits of debris such as a torn cigarette, coins and nails?

0:25:460:25:52

OK, I wonder if that means the world's a stage

0:25:580:26:00

as in his interpretation of what the world is at the time.

0:26:000:26:04

That was what I was thinking when it came up. I don't know the other two.

0:26:040:26:08

It lends itself more towards that than any of the others, I think.

0:26:080:26:12

Yeah, I agree.

0:26:120:26:14

-The World's A Stage, Dermot.

-OK, going for The World's A Stage.

0:26:140:26:17

Can see the link.

0:26:170:26:19

It's not the right answer. Eggheads?

0:26:190:26:22

-Full Fathom Five.

-Full Fathom Five from...

0:26:220:26:24

Why Shakespeare related, that's from...?

0:26:240:26:27

-EGGHEADS: The Tempest.

-The Tempest.

0:26:270:26:28

OK, well, nothing there for the lads,

0:26:280:26:31

and a chance for the Eggheads, then.

0:26:310:26:33

In the poem by WB Rands,

0:26:330:26:36

what was the issue with Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore?

0:26:360:26:40

What was his name again, please? Let's see if we can scan it.

0:26:440:26:47

Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore.

0:26:470:26:49

-ATTEMPTING RHYME RHYTHM

-Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo.

0:26:490:26:51

-Never would...

-HE MUTTERS RHYME

0:26:510:26:54

Well, the only one that remotely scans is "never would shut a door."

0:26:540:26:57

"Never would shut a door," yeah.

0:26:570:26:59

"Could be such a bore" is too fast, "Always demand more" is too fast.

0:26:590:27:02

On the basis of scansion, I would go for "Never would shut a door."

0:27:020:27:05

Sort of thing that would annoy people about an obstructive sort of kid.

0:27:050:27:08

Exactly the same reason, yeah, but never heard of it.

0:27:080:27:11

None of us have ever heard of this poem, but just on basic scansion,

0:27:110:27:17

"Never would shut a door" seems to fit the best, so we'll try that.

0:27:170:27:20

OK, not heard of it,

0:27:200:27:22

but using another technique to get the right answer, Eggheads!

0:27:220:27:25

You've won.

0:27:250:27:26

Well, Pulse still beating there, really.

0:27:310:27:34

You were just looking forward to a bit of Sudden Death there in the final round.

0:27:340:27:38

The Eggheads, when they hadn't heard of the poem,

0:27:380:27:40

then came up with another method.

0:27:400:27:42

But Pulse, thank you very much indeed for playing Eggheads today.

0:27:420:27:46

It's been a lot of fun, been very good to see you,

0:27:460:27:48

and I like the way the game turned and swung there with Arthur's round.

0:27:480:27:51
