These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
are Carry On Nursing. Now this team of colleagues | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
all work for the Royal College of Nursing in Cardiff. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi, I'm Bob. I'm 56 and I'm an advisor. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi, I'm Leon. I'm 38 and I'm a digital communications manager. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Matt. I'm 34 and I'm a customer service project manager. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 29 and I'm an advisor. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, I'm Simon. I'm 51 and I'm a membership manager. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Welcome to you, Carry On Nursing. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
So is this some kind of homage to Kenneth Williams, Sid James...? | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Well, we thought that might echo with a lot of the viewers, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
but really we feel that the services we provide | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
enable our nurse members to carry on nursing and doing their jobs. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
-None of you are nurses. -We're not, no. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
OK, you just work for the Royal College of Nursing | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
in varying capacities. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
What about quizzing? D'you do any of that together, or individually? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
Yes, some of us quiz fairly regularly as a team in a local pub. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-And how do you do? -Well, either second or third, I would say. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
We haven't quite won yet. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
Let's play the game then, shall we? And try not to finish second. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for all our challengers. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Carry On Nursing, the Eggheads have won the last four games. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
That means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Well, let's see what comes up first, and the first head-to-head battle, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
a chance to knock an Egghead out on Food & Drink. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
Who'd like to play this one? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-I think we've agreed a strategy on that. -Me? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-Simon, it's over to you. -Thanks. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
They passed the buck right down to you, Simon. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-You get to choose any Egghead you like. -Erm, who d'you reckon? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-Judith? -Take Judith? -Yeah. I'll take on Judith, please. -OK, Judith. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
I'm hardly ever picked for that, being female. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Exactly, so I very rarely get to chat to you about food and drink. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-No. -Do you enjoy...eating out, cooking? -I enjoy food hugely! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
And given that the home of cooking is France, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
you spend quite a lot of time there. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Yeah, but the food's not very good where I live. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
I hope nobody from there's listening. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
The restaurants are rather disappointing. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
OK, well, let's see how it goes. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
It's going to be Simon and Judith playing our opening round, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
and could I ask you, Simon, to go to the question room | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
to make sure you can't confer with your team mates. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
OK, Simon. You get to choose, you're the challenger. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
D'you want to go first or second? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
I think I'll go first please, Dermot. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Here you go, then. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Which potato dish is usually made by grating raw potato, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
shaping into rounds and then frying till crispy? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
Ooh, I'm pretty sure it's not Dauphinoise. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Erm, and gratin also doesn't sound right. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
Erm, I'm pretty sure it's Potato Rosti. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
It is. That is the right answer. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Well done. And first question for you, Judith. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
What type of foodstuff is the piquillo? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
P-I-Q-U-I-L-L-O? | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
The piquillo, from Spain. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
I think that's a pepper. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
It is. It is a pepper. Can it be any colour? Is it green, red, yellow? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
Well, I don't know. Red, probably, I don't know. Red? Anyway, from Spain. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Pepper will do! Pepper from Spain will do, that gets you the point. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
OK, over to you, Simon. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
"Pot sticker" is the name given to a type of which foodstuff? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
Erm, I think I know what the answer is here, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
but just working through it, it's not a spring roll | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
and I'm fairly confident that it's not Japanese curry. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
I do recall "pot sticker dumpling," | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
so I'm going to go for Chinese dumpling. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
OK. It's the right answer. Yes, well remembered. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
And Judith, Cacik, I'll spell it for you | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
because it's pronounced very differently from how it's spelt. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
C-A-C-I-K | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
is the Turkish version of which dip? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Well, the spelling is slightly reminiscent of Tzatziki, so, erm... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
I can't think of anything else, so I'm going to say Tzatziki. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Just as well I spelt it for you, it's the right answer, yes. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Tzatziki. Well done, and all square at two all. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
So Simon, your third question. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Scombroid food poisoning, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
S-C-O-M-B-R-O-I-D, it's all one word. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
Scombroid food poisoning is caused by eating what type of food? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Ooh, erm, it's not something I've heard of, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
so I'm...this is going to be a bit of a stab in the dark. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Erm, I think if it had been poultry I might have heard of it, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
and likewise fish. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Erm, I haven't heard of food poisoning caused by rice, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
and given that I haven't heard of this term either, | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
I'm going to go for rice. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
OK, rice for scombroid food poisoning. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
It's not, it's one you discounted, fish. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
Scombroid food poisoning from fish. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
And, well, a chance for Judith here. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Judith, Fleurie is a wine appellation | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
and Cru in which larger wine region? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
I think that's Beaujolais. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Well, you should know. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
It's the right answer, yeah. Beaujolais. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Fell very nicely there for Judith after our discussion | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
about the time she spends in France, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
which means Simon just squeezed out, just edged out. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Very tight round. Means you won't be in the final round. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Well, after that exchange, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Carry On Nursing have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
The Eggheads are all there, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
and our second head-to-head today is Music. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Who'd like to play this? Can't be you, Simon. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-Any of your four team mates. -Is it going to be me? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-It's going to be you. -Yeah. -It'll be me. I'm going to go for it. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
All right, Matt, and choose an Egghead. Anyone apart from Judith. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
Erm, ohh, erm, Daphne, please. Yeah. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
All right, Matt and Daphne, into the question room, both of you, please. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
Well, Matt, Simon got very close. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Let's see if you can go the whole way into the final round. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -Er, I'll go first, please. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Best of luck, Matt. First question. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
In 1965, Unit 4+2 had a UK number one single | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
with Concrete And what? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Oh, this is a bit of a tough one. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
I don't remember it on my '60s compilation album. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Glad to know you've got one, though! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
I think I've got one somewhere, yeah. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Erm, so, having not heard of it, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
I'm going to go with... I'm not going to say Glass, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
so I'll go with Clay. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-Concrete And Clay? -Yeah. -Kind of fits together. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I bet somewhere, somehow, you've remembered that. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
OK, your first question, Daphne. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
"All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air," | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
is a line from a song in which musical? Look at you, grinning! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
She's grinning, Matt, because I think, as you probably know, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
she loves musicals. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
-Ohh! -My Fair Lady. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
My Fair Lady is correct, yes. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
That's the way they fall. Let's hope you get some | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
that are right up your street as well, Matt. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Maybe this is it. The '80s band the Thompson Twins | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
were named after characters in a comic strip about who? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
I love the '80s, absolutely love the music. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
I think Wham! was my favourite band, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
and Duran Duran, which I'm going to see live when they tour, | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
so I'm looking forward to that. Erm, the Thompson Twins. Gosh. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
I'm sure they used to have really big hair in the '80s, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
and Tintin had quite a big quiff, so maybe it could be Tintin. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
Erm, I'm going to go with... I don't think it is Tintin, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
I don't think it's Charlie Brown, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
so I'm just going to go with Rupert Bear. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
OK, Rupert Bear. All that talk about Tintin | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
and then you said you didn't think it was. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
You should have heard the groan from your team mates. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-It was Tintin! -Oh no! -It is Tintin. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
Thompson Twins, Eggheads, are characters in Tintin, | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
aren't they, with bowler hats? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Well, every country's got different names for them. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
They're always a play on the local language, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
so in the case of the English ones, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
there's subtle differences between them, | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
but one difference is one is Thompson with a P | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
and the other one is Thomson without a P. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
They're not actually twins at all. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
And what are they in French? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
I can't remember. It's quite different. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Might be a question for another round of Eggheads. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
OK, Daphne, a chance for the lead. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
The video for which Fatboy Slim single featured director Spike Jonze | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
as part of the fictional Torrance Community Dance Group, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
performing a routine outside a movie theatre in Westwood, California? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
Erm, what would fit? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Right Here, Right Now? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-No? -OK. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:19 | |
No, it's not. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-Praise You? -It's Praise You, yeah. -Yeah, that was the other one. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
D'you remember that one? Yeah. OK, well, no damage done then, Matt. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
You're still well in it, it's all square. Everything to play for. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
What nickname did Billie Holiday | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
give the tenor saxophonist Lester Young? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Oh, gosh. Erm... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
Oh, I have actually drawn a complete blank, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
but I think... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
d'you know, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking Prez, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
so I'm going to go with that one, I'm going to go with Prez. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Prez. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
It's the right answer, yes! | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-Wow! -If only we'd heard Tintin from you in the previous question, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-you'd be in the final round. -Oh, no way! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Well, don't worry about it, you might still be there | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
if Daphne doesn't get this. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Which French composer wrote the opera Samson et Dalila, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
first performed in 1877? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Saint-Saens... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
..is the right answer! Daphne very rarely fails twice. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
So, for the first time in the game, we go to Sudden Death, Matt. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
That means we take away the options you've been looking at. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
If you do need to guess, it's going to be an awful lot harder. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
You just have to conjure options up yourself. Here you go. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
"It turned colder, that's where it ends." | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
"So I told her we'd still be friends," | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
are lines from which song in the musical Grease? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
I've seen Grease onstage quite recently. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
I've seen it probably a million times, | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
ever since I saw it when I was about four years old. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
I actually love Grease 2 as well. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Now that really is something. I mean, Grease 2! | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
It's brilliant! | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
It's got Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer in it! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
What's not to love? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
Erm... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Summer Lovin'. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
OK, Summer Lovin'. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
We're not going to accept it, I'm sorry. It's called Summer Nights. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-Oh, no! -Summer Nights. -After all that! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
It is Summer Nights, not Summer Lovin', | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
so unlucky there, Matt. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
And your question, Daphne. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
The US rap and hip-hop artist and producer Brian Burton | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
shares his stage name with which British TV cartoon series? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
Gosh, I can't think. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
Oh, Danger Mouse? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
You're like a cat toying with a mouse. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
It's the right answer! Yes, Danger Mouse. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Got it from somewhere there, Daphne! | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
So unerring are you. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Oh, well bad luck, Matt. | 0:12:58 | 0:12:59 | |
I'm sorry about that, but you know, Summer Nights not Summer Lovin'. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
I'm never ever going to forget that! | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |
Well, go back and console yourself with a viewing of Grease 2! | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
You won't be in the final round. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
What an extraordinary head-to-head that was. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Matt caught out on one of his favourite areas. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
I can see that, cos that's the first line in the song. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-It is. -But then it goes, "Those summer nights," | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
which is the name of the song. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
Then Daphne's extraordinary knowledge of rap and hip-hop! | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Goodness me! Oh, yeah. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
OK, well, as it stands, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Carry On Nursing have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
The Eggheads are all still there, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
and we go to our third head-to-head today. And Science comes up. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
So, who'd like to play this? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
It's Bob, Leon or Chris. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-What d'you reckon? -I think it's going to have to be Chris, is it? | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
-I'll go for this one, then. -All right, Chris. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
Two women have played here from the Eggheads, so one of the boys. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-CJ, d'you reckon? -CJ. -CJ. -CJ. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
OK, Chris and CJ contesting Science. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Into the question room both of you, please. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Chris, I don't think you could get much closer to getting through | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
and not doing so than Matt, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
so one great effort, I'm sure, will get you there. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
D'you want to go first or second? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
I will go first, I think, Dermot. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
All right then, Chris. First question on Science is this. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
The American computer entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg first developed | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
the social network Facebook while studying at which university? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
Well, luckily I would know this from seeing the actual film, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
so hopefully I'll be able to get this right. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
I believe he was studying at Harvard University. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Harvard is correct, yes. Harvard there for Mark Zuckerberg. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
First question for you, CJ. In the human body, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
which bone links the elbow joint to the shoulder joint? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
Well, all three of those bones are in the arm, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
but the radius and the ulna are in the forearm, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
so the shoulder to the elbow is the humerus. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-Humerus, the funnybone! -Yeah. -It's the right answer, yes. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Well done, CJ. OK, and back to you, Chris. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
The volume of a pyramid is calculated by multiplying | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
the area of the base by the height and then dividing by what? | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
Right, OK. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
I do like my maths, I'm trying to work this out in my head, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
imagining a pyramid and trying to work out the area around it. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
I'm going to go, cos, I'm going to say cos it's got three sides, three. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-Three? -Yes. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
It's correct, yes. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
Well done. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
CJ, to which family of birds does the puffin belong? | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
Ooh! | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Don't know, but I suppose physically, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
it looks a bit more like an auk than the other two. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
I don't think it's penguin, I hope. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
I really don't know this | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
but I'll just go on pretty much what it looks like and I'll try an auk. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
OK, a puffin looks like an auk. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
It's the right answer as well. Even better. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
OK, it's all square, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
and third question each. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Chris, what type of creature is a cinnabar? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
C-I-N-N-A-B-A-R. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Right, erm...I'm trying to discount one of them, really. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:36 | |
OK, I'm going to be honest, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
it's not going to be an educated guess either, really. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
I'm going to take a bit of a stab in the dark here. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
I'm going to try for beetle. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
OK, going for beetle on a cinnabar. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-It's not a beetle. D'you know, CJ? -It's a moth. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
It's a moth. OK, well... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
CJ, travertine, T-R-A-V-E-R-T-I-N-E, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
travertine is a form of which rock? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
I've not heard of travertine. Apologies to it. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
Sounds hard to me, travertine. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
Don't know why, but it just sounds hard to me, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
so I'm going to discount limestone. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
Erm... | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
Granite's got a lot of different compositions in it, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
so I'll try granite. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
Granite, cos it's hard. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
That would lead you there, but it's not. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
Not as hard as granite, it is limestone, | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
which is great news for you, Chris. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
You're still playing, playing though in Sudden Death. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
And your Sudden Death question. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
The high temperatures at the core of the sun | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
convert hydrogen into which chemical element? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
Right. I'm, I wouldn't know where to look at, to be honest. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
I'm not sure at all. Hydrogen to which chemical...? | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
No, I'm not too sure. I'll just have to pass, I'm afraid. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Are you sure? I mean, if you say it again, I will accept a pass. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
But give me a chemical element. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
I've just got things like oxygen in my...oxygen, but... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-Oxygen? -Oxygen I'll go for. -It's better than a pass, | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
It's not the right answer. But you never know. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
The number of times they've been landed. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
People think they're ridiculous and they're the answer. Not oxygen. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
-Do you know, CJ? -Helium. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Helium is what we were looking for there. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
And CJ, you're knowing all Chris's! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Well, if you know this, you are through to the final round. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
In terms of television, | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
for what does the letter C stand in the abbreviation CRT? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:44 | |
Obviously not modern-day televisions then, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
assuming it stands for cathode ray tubes, so I'll try cathode. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Well, Chris, you'd know all about this. Yours is still going strong. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Yeah. Cathode ray tube, yeah. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
It is cathode, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
identified there as well by CJ as in older television sets. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Cathode ray tube puts you through to the final round. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
Well done, CJ and bad luck, Chris. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
I mean, you're quizzing really well here, Carry On Nursing! | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
It's just not going your way! | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Three brains missing now from the final round | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
and the Eggheads are all still there. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
Surely one must go in our last head-to-head before the final round! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
This is Politics. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
Who'd like to play this? Ooh, didn't like that! | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-Leon or Bob, one of you two. -There's no doubt about this one. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
It's going to be Leon. But who would you like to play? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
Er, I think I'll go for Chris, please. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
OK, it's going to be Leon and Chris, then, playing Politics. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Into the question room, please. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Well, Leon, I've got high hopes for you. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
D'you want to go first or second? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
I think I'd like to go first please, Dermot. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
OK, Politics, and your first question then, Leon. Good luck. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
The 1919 Housing Act aimed to provide homes fit for whom? | 0:19:55 | 0:20:01 | |
I think, given the date being 1919, just after the end | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
of the First World War, I think I recollect it was | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
a programme of David Lloyd George, so I'm going to go for heroes. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
Yep, "Homes fit for heroes!" | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
Your first question, Chris. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
Which political figure took a road trip across America | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
with Marcel and Louis Theroux, | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
during which he knocked down a roadrunner bird? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
Ohh! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
David Cameron, of course, wouldn't do anything quite so vulgar. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
Nick Clegg's getting on a bit, so it wouldn't be Nick Clegg, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
so it sounds like something Ed Miliband might get up to. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-Ed Miliband. -OK, Ed Miliband. Nick Clegg getting on a bit? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
I mean, they're more or less the same age, all of them. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
It is Nick Clegg, not Ed Miliband. Had passed me by. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-Had any of you Eggheads heard about it? -No. -Vaguely. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
Was it for a TV programme, with Louis Theroux involved, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
or were they friends? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
Yeah, I think it was something on TV. It just rings a vague bell. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
You think, all that effort that Wile E. Coyote went to over the years, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
and along comes Nick Clegg, does the job just like that! | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
Without the Acme dynamite | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Wile E. Coyote was trying to use all the time. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
OK, well that's a great start, Leon. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
You're one up and go two up if you get a correct answer here. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
Which Lighthouse Family song was adopted by the Labour Party | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
for the 2001 General Election campaign? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Erm, the only song that I can remember Labour doing | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
was Things Can Only Get Better, which sadly isn't on there. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
I'm going to take a stab here. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
I don't think any political party would choose Raincloud. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
High, probably, possibly doesn't have the right connotations. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:55 | |
-I'm going to go for Lifted. -D'you know what? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
That is probably a discussion that took place | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
at Labour High Command in 2001. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
And you got the right answer there, just by working it out. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
And yes, it was Things Can Only Get Better, the '97 campaign, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
that triumphant campaign. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Presumably they were looking for something similar | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
in the next General Election campaign. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Chris, what popular name was given to the Progressive Party, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
a splinter group from the Republicans, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
led by Theodore Roosevelt? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Yeah, well Theodore Roosevelt's nickname was Bull Moose, | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
so it was the Bull Moose Party. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Right, well you know that easy enough. There we go. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
You still may not have saved yourself. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Leon, this for a place in the final round. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
The State Hermitage in St Petersburg is home to a vast range of paintings | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
by artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
originally from a collection | 0:22:49 | 0:22:50 | |
belonging to which British Prime Minister? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Mmm, I don't know this | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
and I can't think of any direct connection between any of them | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
and St Petersburg. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
I'm going to have to look at the date, I think. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
So, they're all relatively early, those artists, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
so I'm going to go for Walpole on that basis. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
You know how to work these questions. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
You have won a place in the final round. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Well done, Leon. Said I had high hopes, you see. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
I wasn't disappointed, you didn't let me down. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
So, this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
It's time for the final round, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:36 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
won't be allowed to take part. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
So, Matt, Chris and Simon from Carry On Nursing, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
So, Bob and Leon, you're playing to win Carry On Nursing £5,000. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
which money cannot buy, quite literally. The Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
This time, the questions are all General Knowledge, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
and you are allowed to confer. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
So Bob and Leon, the question is, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:12 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
And Bob and Leon, would you like to go first or second? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
We'd like to go second please, Dermot. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
Deciding to put the Eggheads in, | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
and your first question is this, then, Eggheads. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Which instrumental piece of music became famous | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
after it was used in the 1972 film Deliverance? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
ALL: Duelling Banjos. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
-Duelling Banjos. -OK, and what were the other two in? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
They're all famous pieces from other films? | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
Cavatina was in The Deer Hunter and The Entertainer was in The Sting. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Yeah, thank you for that. Duelling Banjos, though, for Deliverance. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
The right answer. Carry On Nursing, then, your first question. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
What name is given to a comma placed before the word "and" in a list? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
There was a lot of debate about this recently, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
the use of this comma. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
I'm pretty certain it's an Oxford comma. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Yeah, that's the only one that resonates to me, really. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Dermot, we're going to say it's an Oxford comma. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
An Oxford comma. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
It's correct, yes. Well done. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
Eggheads. What type of vehicle is the US military's M1 Abrams? | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
-Abrams is a tank. -Yeah, it's a tank. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Yeah, tank? That's a tank. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
M1 Abrams tank is correct, Eggheads. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
So back to Carry On Nursing. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
The 1937 photograph by Max Dupain entitled "Sunbaker", | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
depicting a male lying on his stomach on a beach | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
has become an iconic image of which country? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
1937, | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
and the name sounds European. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
I mean, I'm thinking somebody that painted under Franco's Spain. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
In '37, yes. Yeah, you're right, cos first of all I thought Australia. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
It could be Australia... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Well, I like the idea, yeah. '37. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
That wasn't in the middle of the Civil War, was it? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Yeah, it would have been. Erm... | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-I'm going to discount Thailand, I think. -Yeah. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
It's between Australia and Spain. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
I think my guess would be Spain. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
I'll go with that, yeah. OK, we're going to say Spain. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
OK, Spain for "Sunbaker". A male lying on his stomach on a beach. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-Spain? -ALL: Australia. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
It's Australia, the other one you were tossing up with. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
I thought you were going to discount it when you did the Civil War there. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Unlikely to be trying to promote tourism at that time. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:03 | |
But, erm, nothing there. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
So, actually, a chance for the Eggheads to win it. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
You put them in first, they've already got two, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
so this would clinch the round if they get it. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Georgics, G-E-O-R-G-I-C-S, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
is a work by which Roman poet? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
-Happy with Virgil? -Yeah. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
That is one of the works by Virgil. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
Virgil, Georgics... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Just the kind of thing you lot know, that, isn't it? Works by Virgil. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Bad luck, Carry On Nursing. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
Gambling there, putting the Eggheads in first, | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
but got that middle one wrong | 0:27:44 | 0:27:45 | |
so I don't get to put another question to you. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Thank you very much for playing the Eggheads today. I mean, goodness me, | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
those head-to-heads all really just turned on one question | 0:27:50 | 0:27:55 | |
and particularly, remember, Matt there, with his Summer Nights! | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
Oh, dear. We'll all go round for a viewing of Grease 2 | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
and we'll learn just what a great film it is. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
I still beg to differ, Matt, but it's a debate we'll have afterwards, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
and of course, Leon there with his great win against Chris. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
and they still reign supreme over Quizland. I'm afraid you won't be | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
going home with the £5,000. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:19 | |
That means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
So Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Do join us next time to see | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
