0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Angus Links.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, everyone on this team hails from the historic county of Angus,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and they're all keen quizzers,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46and have merged a few teams together to tackle the Eggheads today.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's Bazz, and I'm 65, retired.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Ken, I'm 42, and I'm a technical director.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Galen, 36, and I'm a quality analyst.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 49, I'm currently unemployed.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Gordon, I'm 48, and I'm a support worker.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Well, welcome to you, Angus Links. And tell me about the links.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Tell me about lovely Angus as well there, Bazz.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's beautiful, it's famous, we sacked two kings in Angus.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And what about the quiz links then?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I know you're keen quizzers, and you win quite a lot of them, don't you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We ruin it for most towns.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Do you travel around like hired quiz guns?- Hustlers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Come into town and people scatter. - Yep.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37OK, let's see how you do against no mean gunslingers themselves
0:01:37 > 0:01:38when it comes to quizzing - the Eggheads.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Let's see how you do against them.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:42 > 0:01:44up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52So, Angus Links, the challengers actually won the last game,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and that means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00And our first head-to-head, the first subject, is Film & Television.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You know how it works, pick a player and try to knock an Egghead out.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Galen.- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- It's been decided it's me. - Quite a simple one.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- It seems to have been decided in advance.- Who are we going for?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's up to you. You pick. - Shall we possibly put Chris in?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I'll take Chris on, then. Yeah. Chris, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Chris, OK.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Chris and Galen contesting the opening round - Film & Television.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And Galen, as you know, you need to go to the Question Room
0:02:25 > 0:02:27so you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Off you go, please.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Well, Galen, I know you're itching to play, so let's get quizzing!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42And good luck, Galen. First question on Film & Television is this -
0:02:42 > 0:02:47what was the setting for the reality show Celebrity Scissorhands?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I'd like to say... I don't think it's hospital or garden centre.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They just sound wrong, so I'm going to go for hairdressing salon.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Hairdressing salon is the right answer. Well started, Galen.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And Chris -
0:03:03 > 0:03:07which actor joined the cast of EastEnders in 2008
0:03:07 > 0:03:09playing the role of Archie Mitchell?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Hmm, interesting. As you know, I never, ever watch EastEnders.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yes, we do. So you remind us.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Judith is probably bouncing up and down in her seat.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I think Larry Lamb's been there a long time and so has Scott Maslen.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30I think Shane Richie went in in '08, so I'll say Shane Richie.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- You really don't watch it, do you? - No.- Um, well, Judith?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Well, it's Larry Lamb, and he's already gone.- Yeah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Larry Lamb.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And Shane Ritchie, well, Shane Ritchie joined long before 2008.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44So, nothing there, and a great chance for you, Galen, then.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48For a really big lead, now - Mr Tumble, Grandad Tumble
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and Baby Tumble all feature in which children's programme?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Unfortunately, I'm not sure on this one,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01so this will be a bit of a guess. I will...
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Hmm...
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I'll go for Clutter Nutters. Not... Not very confidently, though.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Not a watcher of children's television.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And you didn't get it then.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13No, it's not that. Anyone tell me?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Something Special.- Something Special from the Angus Links.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Something Special.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And the chance to get back in the game, Chris.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Who served as director general of the BBC from 1987 until 1992?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I think John Birt came in in '92.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Alasdair Milne was sometime previous,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and I think there was an interregnum with Michael Checkland.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I have to say Michael Checkland. - Michael Checkland.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48On surer ground there with the history of DGs of the BBC.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Got it. Michael Checkland there during those years, '87 to '92.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54So, all-square as we approach the third question apiece.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59And Galen - in the 1999 Roman Polanski film The Ninth Gate,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01what is the profession of the leading character,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03played by Johnny Depp?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It could be any one of these, I think.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Though, I'm going to discount courier and journalist
0:05:13 > 0:05:16and I'm going go to plump for book dealer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm pretty sure he was involved with books some way or other.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22OK, book dealer. A bookish Johnny Depp.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's the right answer. Well done.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26You're back on surer ground there.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, let's see if Chris is, and if he is, we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30If not, he's out of the game.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Chris, which American film actor who died in 1952 at the age of 39
0:05:36 > 0:05:39was Oscar-nominated for his performances in the films
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Four Daughters and Body And Soul?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Well, Tom Mix was a cowboy back in the silent days, so it's not him.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55George Reeves was Superman and died in rather strange circumstances,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58but the person you're looking for is John Garfield.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- No, the person YOU'RE looking for. - Mm.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04It's John Garfield. It is the right answer.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Right, Sudden Death, then, beckons.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10First round, first Sudden Death, and Galen, just to remind you,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14in case you're waiting for it, you won't see any choices from here on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17We've just got to hear an answer from you until we get a winner.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Which actor, star of the comedy series The Detectives,
0:06:20 > 0:06:26started playing Mark Williams in Holby City in 2005?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'm possibly barking up the wrong tree,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31but the only person I can think of would be Robert Powell.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Not barking up the wrong tree at all, it's the right answer.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Robert Powell.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And to save yourself again, Chris -
0:06:38 > 0:06:42which Oscar-winning film director, who died in 2008,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45once worked as a writer and script editor
0:06:45 > 0:06:47on the BBC series Grange Hill?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Hmm, who died in '08? Um...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Stanley Kubrick?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Stanley Kubrick.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58No, it's not! Other Eggheads?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Anthony Minghella. - Anthony Minghella.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Anthony Minghella, which means, Galen, you're in the final round.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Well played.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Well, a very confident start there by Angus Links,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and in particular, Galen.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17It means the Eggheads are missing one brain from the final round.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Let's play our next subject, then. Our second head-to-head - Sport.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Who thinks they can be equally successful?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- You're the man.- Predetermined again, Gordon.- Yes, Gordon.- Gordon.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31OK, Gordon, and choose an Egghead. Just remember, it can't be Chris.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Any of the other four for you. - Judith?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Why don't you consider taking on Daphne?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Oh, you want to take Daphne on instead?- She's good at sport.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think it'll be really brave...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Go for Judith.- Judith? - Judith, please.- OK, then.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49OK, a bit of consideration about who to take on, ending up with Judith.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51And it therefore is you two, Gordon and Judith,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54going to the Question Room please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Gordon, do you want to go first or let Judith begin?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59I'll go first, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Best of luck to you, Gordon. Here's your first question.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09The famous 1963 boxing match between Henry Cooper and Cassius Clay,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13during which Cooper downed Clay in the fourth round,
0:08:13 > 0:08:14took place in which city?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That was the first of their two fights in London.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh, two fights in London?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24And it is the right answer, yes. London.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26And good start.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Judith, in 2003, Alistair Cook made his first class debut
0:08:31 > 0:08:33for which county cricket team?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, it's a guess. Erm...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Lancashire.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Lancashire is incorrect.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Other Eggheads?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Essex.- Essex.- Essex?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Your chance, then, for you, Gordon.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Which creatures are integral to the Argentinian sport of sport of pato?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53P-A-T-O.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, I'll discount elephants straight away.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Um...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Argentina, well-known for horsemen. I'll go for horses.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You've gone for horses... It's the right answer. Well done.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08And it means you need to get this, Judith.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Will Genia and Quade Cooper
0:09:11 > 0:09:14have played test match rugby union for which country?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Um, well, I don't suppose it's Wales.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It doesn't sound particularly South African.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I think Quade might be Australian. So, Australia.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Australia is correct. Just keeping you in it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I wonder if you'll last much longer, though.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Here you go, Gordon.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Which Scottish football team won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972
0:09:39 > 0:09:42but was subsequently banned from defending it the next year
0:09:42 > 0:09:44due to a pitch invasion by their fans?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50That was played in Barcelona. Rangers won.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51You've gone for Rangers...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You go into the final round, it's the right answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Well done, Gordon.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Skittling through the Eggheads.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Two of them gone from the final round.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06All the Angus Links there. Our next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Who wants to play this?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Remember that Gordon and Galen have played, so one of your other three.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14THEY DISCUSS
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'd like to take somebody on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- You're going to have to, obviously. - It'll be you, Mike.- Right.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I've met a certain person in a previous life,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and it wouldn't be any disgrace to come second to Mr Ashman, so, Kevin.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You said you met him... Have you quizzed against each other?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32No, he was in the audience on Mastermind 20 years ago.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33And he remembered me, which is good.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36You were in the audience, so you were competing?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- It was in his hometown, if I remember rightly.- Yeah, in Great Hall.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40So, how did you do, Mike?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I won. I got into the semifinal.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46OK, well, got a Mastermind champion there as you know, as well.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK, well, let's have Mike and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Well, Mike straining at the leash to play there.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Do you want to go first or second?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I don't usually buck any trends, so I think I'll go first again, please.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Right, first question, Mike. Arts & Books.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Lisbeth Salander is a character created by which writer?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Right, it sounds Scandinavian.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So I'm inclined towards a certain answer, at the moment.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It's definitely not Philip Pullman, as I know from experience.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Dan Brown...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I don't think he'd make up a name like that, so, I say Stieg Larsson.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Yeah, she's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's the right answer, Stieg Larsson.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34And Kevin, what is the literal translation of the French term,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38"fin de siecle", which has its roots in 19th century literary
0:11:38 > 0:11:39and artistic events?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44That's "end of the century."
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Is correct. And Mike...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Where and when did the artist Cimabue live
0:11:51 > 0:11:52and do most of his work?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Now, fortunately, I did a bit of reading up on the history of art.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Doesn't mean I'm going to get it right, of course,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06but I remember Cimabue is definitely Italian,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08so I'd have to say 13th century Italy.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Is the right answer, yes. Reading did stand you in good stead.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16So, Kevin, born in Saint Petersburg in 1940,
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Natalia Makarova became a leading figure in which area of the arts?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I don't associate her name with either of the others.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I think she was a ballerina, so I think, dance.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Dance is correct.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Back to Mike.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37The Supper At Emmaus by Dutch artist Han van Meegeren
0:12:37 > 0:12:39was purchased by the Boijmans gallery in Rotterdam
0:12:39 > 0:12:43who believed it to be an original painting by which artist?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Well, again, art, so... Right. Um...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Well, I certainly don't think it'd be Van Gogh,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54cos he's so distinctive in his style. Rembrandt...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57There's...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm going to say, cos I know he's been copied quite a bit,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'll have to go for Vermeer.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03OK, Vermeer...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05is the right answer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Well done. Three out of three. All the pressure on Kevin.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11One of the earliest works by which Victorian illustrator
0:13:11 > 0:13:15was for a new edition of Malory's Morte D'Arthur in the 1890s?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Mm.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I don't think... Kate Greenaway was particularly known as an illustrator
0:13:25 > 0:13:30of children's stories, so I'll eliminate her.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35But the other two are actually both plausible.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Beardsley...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40..did nearly all his work during the 1890s.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42He died very young in 1898.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47It could be Arthur... Oh, dear. Hmm.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I'm going to go for Aubrey Beardsley.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53OK, are you going to go?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56You're not! It's the right answer. Aubrey Beardsley is correct.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58We go to Sudden Death, then.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03And, Mike, The Prostrate Years is the subtitle of the 2009 book
0:14:03 > 0:14:07featuring which famous fictional diary writer?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Well, I'm glad you mentioned a diary writer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'm inclined to go towards Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Adrian Mole is correct.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years by Sue Townsend, as you mentioned.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Kevin, Painting By Numbers, part of which was tidied up
0:14:23 > 0:14:27by an overenthusiastic cleaner of the gallery where it was displayed,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31was a 2001 exhibition by which British artist?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Hmm. I can remember the incident, I think,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37but I can't remember who it was.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think it's one of the big names,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43so it's just a question of which big name I go for.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Tracey Emin.- Tracey Emin.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well, beer bottles and ashtrays part of the exhibit,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53tidied up by that cleaner, but it was Damien Hirst.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- It was one or the other... - CJ:- Oh, God!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Which means you're out of the game, Kevin.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Mike, you're in the final round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, this is turning into a rout.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Can the Eggheads stop the rot?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Three Eggheads gone,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13will CJ or Daphne be on their own in the final round?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17We'll find out as we play our next head-to-head. This is Politics,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20going for a clean sweep, Angus Links.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25It's going to be Bazz or Ken, and as I say, you're playing Daphne or CJ.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27You do read up on it a lot, don't you? Come on.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Who's going for it?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I was expecting it to be me, but this is the subject that's...
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I absolutely HATE it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- Ah!- Go on, Bazz.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38That just leaves me, then.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Oh, well.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Well, stay with us, Bazz, because you've got to choose an opponent.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46And it's Daphne or CJ, the only two Eggheads left standing.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Let's have a think about this.- It's up to you.- Oh, I don't know. CJ...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52She knows her stuff as well. See, I don't know.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Let's face it, they're both good.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- Take on Daphne.- OK.- Take on Daphne. - Daphne. Daphne, please.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02It's going to be you, Bazz, playing Daphne. It's Politics.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Crucial game for the Eggheads.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Bazz and Daphne into the Question Room, please.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, Bazz, as I say, crucial round for the Eggheads.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Politics it is, and Bazz, off you go then.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25What name did Nelson Mandela give to the group he founded in 2007
0:16:25 > 0:16:29consisting of experienced global leaders with a collective aim
0:16:29 > 0:16:32to support peace and eliminate human suffering?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I can't see it being the Extremists,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42and as he was never part of the establishment anyway,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I'd say it was the Elders.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The Elders, that's correct, yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Daphne, in 2011, it was announced that Helle Thorning-Schmidt
0:16:52 > 0:16:55was to become the first female prime minister of which country?
0:16:58 > 0:17:05She was the daughter-in-law of Neil Kinnock, and it was Denmark.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Denmark, that's right. And married to Neil Kinnock's son, isn't she?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Denmark is correct,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14and all-square after the opening exchanges.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19OK, Bazz. Which country became the 17th member of the euro
0:17:19 > 0:17:24when it adopted the euro as its currency in January 2011?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'll discount Finland.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Mm. Slovenia.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Slovenia...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38is incorrect!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Been going so well, all of you, so far,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44but Slovenia is not. It is... Daphne?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Estonia.- Estonia, yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Around about Finland there, Bazz, but Estonia. OK, well...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53at last, another opportunity for the Eggheads.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56In 2010, which former children's TV presenter was introduced
0:17:56 > 0:18:01to the House of Lords as a life peer nominated by the Liberal Democrats?
0:18:05 > 0:18:10I actually her at 1997 Woman Of The Year,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and it's Floella Benjamin.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Just adding that in for us, are you? 1997 Woman Of The Year,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and it is Floella Benjamin, yes.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It means you've got to get this, then, Bazz.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Which US president owned a Scottish terrier called Fala
0:18:28 > 0:18:30who was nicknamed "The Informer"?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Hmm.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I don't actually know this one, but...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44..I like the name Herbert Hoover.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Is that your answer? - That's my answer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Herbert Hoover with his dog called "The Informer,"
0:18:50 > 0:18:53nicknamed "The Informer," called Fala, and it's not!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- It is, Daphne?- FDR. - FDR - Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, Fala "The Informer,"
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and I can inform you that AT LAST the Eggheads
0:19:01 > 0:19:05have managed to stop the avalanche that's been falling upon them.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Bazz is the only member of the Angus Links who will not be in the final,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12and, CJ, I think, breathing a sigh of relief there,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16that he'll be accompanied by Daphne in that final round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:28 > 0:19:30aren't allowed to take part in this round,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32so just Bazz from the Angus Links
0:19:32 > 0:19:35and Judith, Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37would you leave the studio, please?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42So then, Ken, Galen, Mike and Gordon,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45you are playing to win, Angus Links, £1,000.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:19:49 > 0:19:51it is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54An endangered reputation at the moment.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00just to underline that for you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And, of course, the big difference from the head-to-heads -
0:20:03 > 0:20:05you are allowed to confer in this the final round.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08So, Ken, Galen, Mike and Gordon, the question is,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11are your four brains
0:20:11 > 0:20:14better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16And do you want to go first or second?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Once again, we're not going to buck the trend,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20and we're going to go first.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Well, best of luck to you. Will the Eggheads be beaten again?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Off we go then. Bletchley Park, home to the National Museum of Computing,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34is located in which English county?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Yep, we know this one. It's in Buckinghamshire.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Buckinghamshire for Bletchley Park. It's correct. It's the right answer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Eggheads, the electronic stock exchange called the NASDAQ
0:20:50 > 0:20:52is based in which city?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- It's in New York.- New York. Mm-hmm.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It's in New York.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59OK. New York.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- We're nervous, but it's in New York. - I know!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Happiest I've seen you!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07New York is correct, so it's all-square. 1-1. Angus Links...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Apart from a shield,
0:21:09 > 0:21:15the type of Roman gladiator known as a "secutor" carried which weapon?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- I don't reckon it's long bow. - A secutor was a light gladiator.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Right.- Um...
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Javelin would just be a single use.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28So, whereas a retiarius would have a trident...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yeah, he was the trident one, wasn't he?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Who was the one with the net? - BOTH TALK AT ONCE
0:21:35 > 0:21:37But he would have a small sword,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40but he might have had a javelin as well.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- It's a short sword, isn't it? - It was a short sword.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- A javelin would be for throwing... - That's one use, isn't it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48..rather than a spear for stabbing. So, it's a sword.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49A small sword.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55After a little bit of discussion here, a sword.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Most of it from you, Ken, it must be said.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I must admit, talking is something I do.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04But a knowledge of gladiators as well, you seem to have there.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It's the right answer. Yeah, sword is correct.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Over to the Eggheads,
0:22:08 > 0:22:09and your question -
0:22:09 > 0:22:14what was the title of Middle Of The Road's 1971 follow-up
0:22:14 > 0:22:18to their chart-topping hit Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I've no... I'll leave it up to you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Have you heard of any of them?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I think the other one I've heard of is the first one, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I'm not sure I've... But, I've heard of something similar to that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Whether it's that are not, whether it's by this group, I've NO idea.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Bop Ting A Ling, not heard of.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Tweedle Dum Tweedle Dee...possibly.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Hi-Lili, Hi Lo came from a film in the '50s
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- with Leslie Caron.- OK.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But... But it...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Maybe that's where I've heard it from, then. Obviously...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Maybe that does ring a bell as a song, though.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Yeah, cos Hi-Lili, Hi Lo was...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- SINGSONG:- It goes, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo. - Yeah.- Oh, right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- And that came from a Leslie... - That's a Leslie Caron film?- Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Well, maybe Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum maybe rings a bell, then.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Well, if we were discounting Bop Ting A Ling,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and we've got a source for Hi-Lili, Hi Lo,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- do you want to go for Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum?- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum. From the history of gladiators
0:23:35 > 0:23:39to Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep's follow-up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42What a wonderful game this is!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The Eggheads, will they be
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Tweedledee and Tweedledum there?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Come on!- It's the right answer, Eggheads!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You worked it out, and in actual fact, you know,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54did very well on that.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You know, they're all valid questions,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58and you used a lot of your quizzing knowledge there
0:23:58 > 0:24:01to eliminate one of them,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and just got it there by the skin of their teeth. All-square.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Angus Links, the red time ball positioned on a mast on the roof of
0:24:09 > 0:24:11the Royal Observatory in Greenwich,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15drops each day at the stroke of which hour?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20It's three. But I'm not 100% sure.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21I've never...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23One o'clock you associate with Mons Meg, don't you? So...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26But that doesn't mean anything.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I've got a funny feeling it's three. I don't know why.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31You have this feeling? Gordon, do you know?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Not 100% sure...- Never heard of it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I just have this feeling about one o'clock again,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37but maybe I'm thinking of Mons Meg.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah, that's why I kind of discounted it,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41but there's no reason to discount it, you know.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I have no input here, unfortunately.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, is there any reason why they would drop it at any time?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48No.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- For example, there would be a reason to drop it at 12 o'clock.- Yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Maybe it's lunchtime at one o'clock. - Three o'clock's like...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- middle of the afternoon, isn't it, really?- Yes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So, I'm inclined to go for three for that reason.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- I've not got any real 100% insight into it, you know?- Mm-hmm.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I'll leave it with you, man.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12OK, we don't know.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18We are thinking that one o'clock is when Mons Meg,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20the Edinburgh Castle cannon,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24gets fired at.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27We cannot discount 2pm...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30but we're going to, and we're going to opt for 3pm.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34OK, 3pm for the red time ball positioned on a mast
0:25:34 > 0:25:36in the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40It drops each day at the stroke of...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- 1pm. - THEY GROAN
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It is 1pm.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Well, the Eggheads going through agonies with their second question,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but now have the upper hand.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53And being on the ropes throughout the quiz,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55but a chance here, an opening.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59OK, Eggheads, you win the game if you give me a correct answer here.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Wladimir Coppen - C-O with an umlaut, P-P-E-N -
0:26:03 > 0:26:07gave his name to a classification system for what?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Coppen.- Coppen.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- OK, have you heard of him?- No.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Good, that's a good start.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Could you just repeat it, Dermot?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Wladimir Coppen gave his name to a classification system for what...?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- I don't think it's vitamins. - Well, that's...
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- You don't think it's vitamins, no? - No. And blood is Landsteiner.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well, Landsteiner did the blood groups, yeah.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- And Coppen...- Coppen...- That was...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Why does that ring a bell with clouds or something?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah. Climate.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I mean, if we're going to guess...
0:26:48 > 0:26:50C-O-umlaut-P-P-E-N.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I...
0:26:54 > 0:26:59If I was on my own, I'd go for climate, and I don't know why.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Shall we try climate?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yeah.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're going to try climate, Dermot.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Climate, OK. As I say, a rare chance coming your way, Eggheads.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10After what you've been through in those head-to-heads
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and indeed in this final round...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16A real tough one there with your second question, got past that.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18If you get this, you've won.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And Wladimir Coppen gave his name to a classification system for...
0:27:21 > 0:27:22for climate!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- YES!- Eggheads, you've won. - DAPHNE LAUGHS
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Ooh! How tight was that?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Well, you won the head-to-heads but not the final round where it counts.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We had a question earlier on there, didn't we, for you, Gordon,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43about Muhammad Ali. Cassius Clay as he then was.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I remember he perfected the rope-a-dope system, didn't he?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Taking all the punches for round after round after round
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and then coming off the ropes to clinch the bout towards the end.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56They've done it. Rope-a-dopes. There we go.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Well, congratulations, Eggheads. You've done what comes naturally
0:28:00 > 0:28:03and you reign supreme over quizland once again.
