0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on our awesome quiz champions are The Wonderyears.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team are enjoying their senior years and their love of music.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45They're all part of a rock chorus who perform regularly at local clubs. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm John. I'm 64 years old and I'm a senior university library assistant.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Alan, I'm 65 and a retired aircraft engineer.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Joan, I'm 79 and I'm a retired accounts assistant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hello. I'm Bob, I'm 63 and I'm a retired police officer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello. I'm Judith, I'm 64 and I'm a semi-retired English teacher.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Welcome to you, Wonderyears. So you're all in...a band?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We call ourselves a senior rock chorus.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23The chorus is 24-strong. The band is four live musicians, including myself.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31We perform a whole range of rock, pop music of the last 40, 50 years.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Wow.- Everything from, what shall we say, ABBA to The Clash to The Beatles
0:01:36 > 0:01:42- to The Rolling Stones. And so on. We've entertained a lot of people over four years.- I bet you have.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48I'm just thinking that describes a lot of our music category on the popular side of things.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51A lot of those questions come up.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm sure you're hoping for that category.
0:01:54 > 0:02:01Let's play the game, Wonderyears. Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05but if they fail to win, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09The Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12so £8,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Let's see. Our first head to head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Straight up there. Who wants to play this?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I think I feel myself about to be nominated!
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- So it had better be myself. - About to be nominated. John, you can choose any Egghead you like
0:02:32 > 0:02:39- because it's the opening round. - I think... I hear a voice in my ear but I think anyway
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- that I will nominate Daphne, please. - Nominate Daphne, OK.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- Why have you chosen Daphne? - Oh, well, I am aware of her vast knowledge of the subject,
0:02:50 > 0:02:56- so it's a challenge to take on. - And quite a scalp if you can get rid of her.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00John and Daphne, into the Question Room, please, so you can't confer.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08OK, John, you're kicking off. Do you want to go first or second in this Music round?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I will go first, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, John.
0:03:11 > 0:03:19Best of luck, here we go. "Allons enfants de la Patrie," is the first line of which French song?
0:03:23 > 0:03:29Er, well, I think I'm fairly familiar with the first two and I...
0:03:29 > 0:03:35I don't think it's those. I feel I really should be standing to sing it if I was in France
0:03:35 > 0:03:39because it is La Marseillaise.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Yes, indeed. The national anthem. Well identified there by John.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49Daphne, Deeply Dippy was a UK number one single for which pop act in 1992?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I don't think it was Whigfield.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Or Vanilla Ice.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm sure it's Right Said Fred.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- And you're right, yes.- Rather bizarrely, their only number one.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Everyone thinks I'm Too Sexy got to number one, but it didn't.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It was the biggest-selling single, but Deeply Dippy was number one.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17OK, thank you, CJ.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23Second question, John. The video to which Robbie Williams song features him as an ice skating trainer
0:04:23 > 0:04:27who has to stand in at the last minute at the world championships?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Oh. Well, I...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'm not really familiar with Robbie Williams videos.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm trying to...picture him
0:04:42 > 0:04:49as an ice skater. It feels like it ought to be Let Me Entertain You. I'm not absolutely sure of that,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51but Let Me Entertain You.
0:04:51 > 0:04:58- Let Me Entertain You. CJ shaking his head. That's when he dresses up as KISS.- Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Which is it, CJ?- She's The One.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- It's She's The One.- OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05So let's see how Daphne does
0:05:05 > 0:05:10with number two. Who wrote the lyrics for Heathcliff,
0:05:10 > 0:05:15the musical thought up by Cliff Richard based on Wuthering Heights?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Oh.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Em...I'm not sure.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I think...
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- I think I'll go for Richard Stilgoe. - Richard Stilgoe.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33OK, all top lyricists.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- It's not. It is... - Tim Rice?- Tim Rice, yes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- It didn't do very well, did it? - It sunk without a trace.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- I had dinner with Tim Rice and he never even mentioned it! - Name dropper!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, there we are. A let off, John.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Try this. Which Mozart opera is based on a work by the French playwright Beaumarchais?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Em, not that familiar with Mozart's operas.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Probably not...not Don Giovanni.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15I think I'll go for... The Magic Flute.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20OK, The Magic Flute. A Mozart opera based on a work by Beaumarchais.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's not The Magic Flute.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Marriage of Figaro.- It is.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Your question, Daphne, to win:
0:06:28 > 0:06:34which group released the 1970s albums Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Oh...!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Em...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I've heard of Brain Salad Surgery.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52But I can't remember who it's by.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58No?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You beat me to it!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I did think I would very cleverly say that because it's not.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09No, it's not Yes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It is Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15OK, low scoring in those first three questions.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Staying at one-one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Both failing with two questions each, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We're going to remove the choices. Makes it a lot harder for you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31What was the stage name of the popular Irish singer Joseph McLaughlin
0:07:31 > 0:07:35who left Britain in the 1950s for tax reasons?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Em...
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I'd like to say it was before my time. It probably wasn't quite.
0:07:43 > 0:07:50I can't think of an Irish singer that would have come into that category, I'm afraid.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- I'll have to pass.- OK, pass on that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Do you know, Daphne? - Was that Josef Locke?- Josef Locke. - Why am I getting his?!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Yes, not your question. But another chance, Daphne.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Which British composer, born in Bradford in 1862,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11spent some time working on an orange plantation in Florida?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13At last, proper music.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Frederick Delius. - Is the right answer, Daphne!
0:08:19 > 0:08:25John, it means you're not in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Well, a great round, that.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30"Yes. No."
0:08:30 > 0:08:35As it stands, the Wonderyears have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Let's play a second one. And this is Sport.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Who'd like to play this?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- You go, Bob.- I'll do that.- OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Bob, any Egghead apart from Daphne.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53- Chris, please.- OK, Chris on Sport. Chris and Bob, please, into the Question Room.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- OK, Bob, first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Best of luck. First question.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Sabreur - S-A-B-R-E-U-R.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Sabreur is the term for a person who takes part in a form of which sport?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Em...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I don't really know. I've not heard the term.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Sounds a bit like a sabre,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25so I'd got for fencing on this case.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Fencing, sabre. And that would be the link. That's the right answer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Chris,
0:09:32 > 0:09:39tennis' Davis Cup began in 1900 as a competition between teams from Britain and which country?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44In 1900, tsarist Russia didn't play tennis.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51I don't think we were that good friends with France at the time, pre-Entente Cordiale, so the USA.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57Doing that through history and politics! It is the USA. It's the right answer.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Bob, your second question. In snooker, what name is given to the agreed abandoning
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and restarting of a frame due to no hope of the game progressing?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15There's only one term I've heard of here, so it'll have to be that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I haven't heard of re-ball or re-break, so my answer is re-rack.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Do you play a bit of snooker?- No. - OK< but you watch it presumably.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Not so much now. A long time ago. - Well, you got the right answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30OK. Well, Chris,
0:10:30 > 0:10:35behind and second question for you. For which team did Vitaly Petrov drive
0:10:35 > 0:10:39at the start of the 2011 Formula 1 season?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45He sounds Russian. Ferrari's Italian, Renault's French,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- so it had to be Sauber. - No, it didn't. It's Renault.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54The magic not working there. Renault for Vitaly Petrov
0:10:54 > 0:10:58and a place in the final round for you, Bob, if you get this.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Which race is the first to be run on the opening day of Royal Ascot?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Now this is a good question for me.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I can say without doubt it's the Queen Anne Stakes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I take it you like a flutter? - Investment I call it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Investment sometimes with negative return.- Er, yes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Well, it is the Queen Anne Stakes. You know your horse racing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Well done, Bob.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The Wonderyears going up the gears and knocking an Egghead out.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Both teams have lost one brain. Our third subject today is Science.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Who'd like to play this?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Alan, Joan or Judith? - Shall I play?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Joan is our nominated scientist, I think.- OK, Joan.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58And you can play Pat, Barry or...
0:11:58 > 0:12:02CJ! How could I forget about you, CJ?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Pat, Barry or CJ? - I'll have CJ, please.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- OK, let's have Joan and CJ playing this Science round.- Hello!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:12:14 > 0:12:20Joan, the subject is Science. Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28OK, good luck, Joan. Let's see if you can emulate Bob.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32What divides a mammal's thorax from its abdomen?
0:12:34 > 0:12:39I think the oesophagus is the throat and the mandible the mouth.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I think I'll go for diaphragm.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Diaphragm? That's right, Joan. One to you. CJ,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50what is the common name of the insect Pieris brassicae?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Do you need that spelled out? OK.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Well, brassica are cabbages, so presumably cabbage white butterfly.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Yes, it is. Once you knew that, it's pretty simple. But you had to know that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12OK, Joan, what name is given to the first hour after a traumatic injury
0:13:12 > 0:13:16when emergency treatment is likely to be most effective?
0:13:19 > 0:13:25I wouldn't think it was Looking-glass Hour. That doesn't seem to... I'll dismiss that one.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Unitary...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31But I think I'm going to go for Golden Hour.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37The Golden Hour, that's it. Yes, the Golden Hour, identified by Joan.
0:13:37 > 0:13:44CJ, scientist Frank Fenner became nationally famous in which country in the 1940s and '50s
0:13:44 > 0:13:50when he developed and injected himself with a myxoma virus in order to prove
0:13:50 > 0:13:52it was not harmful to humans?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I don't know. I haven't heard of him.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:10'40s and '50s, Australia and Canada were really too busy with the World War and recovering from it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Perhaps? I don't know. I'll try South Africa.- South Africa.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Working the dates there. Might have been better working on myxoma.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- It meant nothing to me, I'm afraid. - Myxomatosis, rabbits,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27country plagued by rabbits? The thousand-mile fence?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Dingo-proof. It wouldn't keep rabbits out.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Plagued by rabbits - Australia. This was myxomatosis.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41- Used in Australia first.- There were concerns it might spread to humans. Fenner proved otherwise.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47OK, there we are. A great chance for you, Joan. A correct answer here puts you in the final round.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52The term lata foliate refers to what aspect of a plant?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well, foliate is the leaves bit of it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04I don't think that's striped and I don't think it would be thorny.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I think I'll go for broad leaves.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10OK, broad leaves.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Is she right, Eggheads? - She is.- CJ nodding as well.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18He knows his fate. It's the right answer. Broad leaves.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And, yes, skipping your way
0:15:22 > 0:15:28into the final round there, Joan. Bad luck, CJ. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Well, it just gets better and better. You've knocked two Eggheads out of the final round.
0:15:35 > 0:15:43One member of Wonderyears has gone as we approach our last subject before the final. Arts and Books.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Who'd like to play?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48This is one we didn't want!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- OK, Dermot, I'll do it! - Well, Judith,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- you can choose from Pat or Barry. - Oh, wow.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- Any ideas? - No, they're both brilliant. - Both brilliant, are they? Oh...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Take Pat out.- Take Pat out?! You said he was brilliant!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07You and Pat will be all right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- OK, then, Pat. - OK. Let's have Judith and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- So it's Arts and Books. Judith, do you want first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:16:23 > 0:16:29Good luck, Judith. Which famous American writer died in October, 1849,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34in mysterious circumstances after being found delirious in Baltimore?
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Em, I'm not really familiar with American writers,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46but I'll take a stab in the dark.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Edgar Allan Poe.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56A stab in the dark is the kind of thing he wrote about. It's right!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58OK, Pat,
0:16:58 > 0:17:05in the 1990s, which former American President wrote the children's book The Little Baby Snoogle-fleejer?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Gosh!
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Jimmy Carter is the only American President to write a novel. It was about the War of Independence.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20In the 1990s.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Richard Nixon, when he went into retirement, was in deep retirement.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29He wasn't seen very much. Ronald Reagan...Jimmy Carter.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I don't know.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37I think on the basis that Jimmy Carter put out a full-strength novel,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41maybe he also turned his hand to a children's novel.
0:17:41 > 0:17:48OK, Jimmy Carter. I'm just thinking of Richard Nixon writing a cuddly children's book.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It was Jimmy Carter. The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Great title. OK, Judith, good start for you. Let's build on it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:03What is the title of the poem by John Keats that begins, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I haven't heard of Endymion.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21La Belle Dame Sans Merci. "A thing of beauty..."
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- I'm going to go for Ode On A Grecian Urn.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- A stab in the dark.- "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- It's not. Do you know, Pat? - It's Endymion.- It is Endymion.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." A chance for the Eggheads.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Which Parisian museum, Pat, houses Edouard Manet's famous 1860s painting Olympia?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I don't know.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I know the painting.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I'll assume it's in one of the better-known museums,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10so eliminate Musee de l'Orangerie. It's Orsay versus Louvre.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I really don't know.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- I'll go for the Louvre. - The Louvre for Olympia.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24It's the other one, the Orsay. Musee d'Orsay.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, a let off, Judith.
0:19:27 > 0:19:34No damage done. Third question. Don Pedro and Don John are characters in which Shakespeare play?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Don Pedro... I know the plays,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48but I haven't heard of the characters.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- All's Well That Ends Well. - All's Well That Ends Well,
0:19:52 > 0:19:57which is what we hope happens from your point of view, but...
0:19:57 > 0:20:04it is Much Ado About Nothing with the two Dons, Pedro and John, as characters in it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07A chance for Pat to take the round.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14In poetry, what metrical foot consists of two short syllables followed by one long one?
0:20:18 > 0:20:24It's tempting to go for anapest, simply because it appears to be two short syllables and a long one.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28An-a-pest. That would be a delicious coincidence.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35I think... Well, it might be a spondee. I'll go for spondee.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Spondee.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's anapest.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Oh, dear!- Is it?!- Should have gone with the coincidence.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47You did the analysis. Well, it stays all square.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53And we go, as you will be familiar with, Judith, to Sudden Death.
0:20:53 > 0:21:00Love, etc, Arthur & George and The Sense of An Ending are works by which writer?
0:21:01 > 0:21:08Mm, I haven't heard of any of them. Arthur & George rings some kind of bell, but...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14No, I'm going to have to pass, Dermot.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- OK, well, Pat?- Julian Barnes?
0:21:17 > 0:21:23Julian Barnes it is. Won the Man Booker with The Sense Of An Ending, but you didn't get that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It means a chance again for Pat.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Which female British novelist who died in 2010
0:21:30 > 0:21:37once appeared in an early episode of Coronation Street as an anti-nuclear friend of Ken Barlow?
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Well, thinking back to British female novelists who have died in that sort of timeframe,
0:21:44 > 0:21:51the first one to come to mind is Beryl Bainbridge. I think she died somewhere around that time.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- I think I'll go with Beryl Bainbridge.- Beryl Bainbridge,
0:21:56 > 0:22:01on the date of her death, not remembering the episode.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It is the right answer, Pat!
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Appearing in Coronation Street. Quite a radical in those days, Ken.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Old Ken Barlow.- Yeah.- I see.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15In his own sort of...way.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I didn't know what you'd say!
0:22:17 > 0:22:22OK, that means Pat is in the final round. You evened it up.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27No place for Judith. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33So this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But those of you who lost
0:22:35 > 0:22:43won't be allowed to take part, so John and Judith and CJ and Chris, would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Alan, Joan and Bob, you're playing to win the Wonderyears £8,000.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56Daphne, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:56 > 0:23:03I'll ask each team three questions. They're all general knowledge and you're allowed to confer.
0:23:03 > 0:23:09Alan, Joan and Bob, the question is this: are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:09 > 0:23:15- Do you want to go first or second? - What shall we do? First?- First. - We'll go first, please.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24OK, then, first question to you, Wonderyears. The comic strip created by American Bud Fisher
0:23:24 > 0:23:30which dates back to 1907 and is often regarded as the first successful daily comic strip
0:23:30 > 0:23:32is called Mutt and who?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Mutt and Jeff. - I haven't heard of them.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Haven't you?! Jeff, yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Are you sure? We'll try for Jeff.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Mutt and Jeff. It passed into rhyming slang, didn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51It means a little bit deaf. Mutt and Jeff is correct.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53You first question, Eggheads.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59The radio DJ and TV presenter Neil Fox was known for many years by what moniker?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- That's Doctor Fox, isn't it?- Doctor. - I've seen him on some TV shows.- OK.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- We're all happy with Doctor Fox. - Doctor Fox is correct, yes.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Back to Wonderyears.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17In the early 20th century, German schoolteacher Richard Schirrmann
0:24:17 > 0:24:23opened what type of institution, the first of its kind in Altena Castle, Westphalia?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- I don't know, but I would go for youth hostel.- That'd be my guess.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- I don't know. - It could be a driving school.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- No, not in the early 20th... - When was it?- Early 20th century.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43It's too early for driving, wasn't it? I would go for...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Youth hostel?- I think, yes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50As you see, we're hovering around, but we'll go for youth hostel.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Youth hostel is the right answer! In Altena Castle, Westphalia.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56So, Eggheads,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59the Festa del Redentore,
0:24:59 > 0:25:06first held in 1577 to celebrate the end of a terrible plague, is held in which Italian city?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13My first thought is Venice. Are there paintings
0:25:13 > 0:25:15which refer to this? No?
0:25:15 > 0:25:21Maybe not. There's paintings for the Doge's ceremony. Redentore...
0:25:21 > 0:25:26I don't know from the name, but I seem to recall reading about Popes in Rome
0:25:26 > 0:25:30who had all special sorts of things taken to prevent getting the plague.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35You know they have the jubilee that's every so many years.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39And the very first one was started by a Pope
0:25:39 > 0:25:42at the end of a plague.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- So...- I don't know.
0:25:46 > 0:25:53- I don't know. I think we're discounting Florence.- Yeah. - I don't think it's Florence.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57But I have recollections of plagues more frequently hitting Rome
0:25:57 > 0:26:02because it was a bigger city and more likely to get plague.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Venice?- Big sea port, so...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Yes, you've got that argument.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13- I really don't know. A faint echo of Venice, but I don't know. - We're really struggling on this one,
0:26:13 > 0:26:18but Daphne and I both have two separate inklings about Rome.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20On that basis, we'll go for Rome.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- But Pat inkled about Venice, which is the answer.- Sorry, Pat!
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Well...- Venice, not Rome. Well, if you get this
0:26:29 > 0:26:32you beat the Eggheads and you win £8,000.
0:26:32 > 0:26:40What is the name of the character played by James Dean in the 1956 film Giant?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- I've no idea.- Do you know?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Do you know?- No. We'll have to look...
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- No.- I have no idea. - Do the names mean anything?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- James Dean...- 1950s.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- James Dean. I was wondering about Jett.- Jimmy Dean, Cal, Jett...
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- If I was to guess, I'd probably guess for Cal.- Would you?- A guess.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- What do you think, Bob?- What would you go for?- I haven't got a clue.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17I haven't got a clue. I'd say Jett Rink, but I don't know. It's not from knowledge.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- What are we doing?- Go with Jett Rink. I'll go with Joan.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Lady's luck.- Lady's luck. You've been good so far.- I don't know.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's not from knowledge. Just a guess.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34We're struggling a bit, but... Joan's got an inkling for Jett,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- so we're going for Jett.- I don't know where it came from.- OK.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Jett Rink. You were conjuring between Cal Trask and Jett Rink.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Yeah.- Well, the answer is...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Jett Rink! You've won!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That's astounding!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56How does that feel? Well done.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- I can't believe it.- £8,000. - More luck than judgment!
0:27:59 > 0:28:03You want to see what's going on in the Question Room!
0:28:03 > 0:28:09Wild celebrations there. You can sing yourselves a victory song.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- How about We Are The Champions? - We used to sing that!
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Sing it all the way home! £8,000. You have beaten the Eggheads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23- Fantastic performance there. It didn't seem to be going too well early on, did it?- No.
0:28:23 > 0:28:30Nip and tuck, but you've taken the money. And you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36You've proved they can be beaten. Do join us next time to see if a new team will be as successful.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye!
