0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:37are The Melting Pot.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41In forming this quintet, team captain Kevin has called upon the services
0:00:41 > 0:00:43of four of his brainiest friends, including
0:00:43 > 0:00:45two of his former quiz mates
0:00:45 > 0:00:49from their time studying together at the University of Chester.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- Let's meet them.- Hi. I'm Kevin, I'm 25 and I'm a trainee barrister.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Liam, I'm 24 years of age and I'm a litigation executive.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Myles, I'm 25 and I'm a paralegal.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Joe, I'm 22 and I work as a cashier.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm David, I'm 61 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Welcome team Melting Pots.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, Kevin, this is a bit of a reunion for you guys.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Certainly for myself,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Liam and Myles, we were at university together
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and we lived with each other for two years.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20With David and Joseph, I've seen them a lot more recently
0:01:20 > 0:01:23as I worked with Joseph and David was an occasional customer
0:01:23 > 0:01:26in the bookies I was working in.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I say occasional.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Very diplomatic. Say no more about that. Best of luck, Melting Pot.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:34 > 0:01:38for all our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42So, Melting Pot, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:01:42 > 0:01:47which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Let's play our first head-to-head,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51see if you can knock an Egghead out straight away on History.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That's you, big boy.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Looks like that's me.- Good lad.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Liam. You've been chosen. Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I don't think I'd like to play any of them. They're all so clever.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05But I think I'm going to take CJ.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07There's no thinking behind that. I'm quite intimidated
0:02:07 > 0:02:10by all of them, so I'm just going for the first one
0:02:10 > 0:02:11that came into my vision.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Hopefully, there's no thinking behind CJ's answers.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Sometimes there's not. Let's have CJ and Liam into the Question Room,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK. Liam, you're playing History. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Good luck. Here you go.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Which US president died one day before
0:02:34 > 0:02:35President Nixon appeared on US media
0:02:35 > 0:02:38to announce the end of the Vietnam War?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45To be honest with you, presidents aren't my forte.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm going to rule out John Kennedy cos that obviously
0:02:47 > 0:02:50was when he was assassinated in Dallas in '63, I believe.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55And FDR I'd imagine would have passed away a lot earlier.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So it's an educated guess, but I'm not certain.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- I'm going to plump for Lyndon B Johnson.- OK, Lyndon B Johnson.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06You've done it on the dates. Well done. It's the right answer.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08CJ, your first question.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Which palace close to the River Seine was burnt down in 1871?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Oh dear. Um...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I mean... Versailles did burn.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm just trying to think if Tuileries did as well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I don't think it's Fontainebleau.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I don't know this. I'll try Versailles.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37OK, Versailles burnt down...
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- No, not Versailles. Other Eggheads? - ALL: Tuileries.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- It is Tuileries.- All right.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, a great start, Liam.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Second question then for a bigger lead.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53The Pleven Plan proposed in 1950 by French Statesman Rene Pleven
0:03:53 > 0:03:57aimed to create a united European what?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, this is a bit difficult.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'll be honest, I don't know the answer off the top of my head.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'm going to rule out army given the proximity to the Second World War.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Looking at the onset of the currency,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I don't think it was that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Looking at the way we entered the European act in the 1970s,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- I'm going to hazard a guess, I think it's Parliament.- OK, Parliament.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Pleven Plan...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It's not. It's the one you first discounted.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- It is the army.- The defence plan.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32OK. CJ, a chance to draw level with your second question.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Which title was created in 1385 for Edmund Langley,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38the son of Edward III?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I don't know this, but I thought Duke of Clarence was later.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- I don't know this, but I'll try Duke of York.- Duke of York...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55levels it up. It's the right answer. All square after two.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Third question each.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Liam, what was the name of the flagship
0:05:00 > 0:05:05of Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt which sank near Portsmouth in 1782?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I have absolutely no idea, I'm not going to lie.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- I'm going to hazard a total guess at Royal George.- Good guess!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's the right answer. Gives you the lead
0:05:17 > 0:05:21and one foot in the final round. CJ needs to get this.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24In mediaeval England, what was a heriot?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I don't think...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I always thought it was a person, a heriot.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I don't think it's death duty.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I think I've heard of the death duties.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Er, unit of measurement?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46There were so many, that's the problem, different measurements.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I don't know so this is going to have to be a blind guess as well.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I had a vague recollection it was a person,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56but I might be confusing that, so I'll try local councillor.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK. Local councillor. No.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That's incorrect. It is death duty.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Death duty, not a local councillor.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07You're through then, Liam, to the final round. A very narrow victory.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- 2-1 takes you through.- I'll take any win, Dermot.- Absolutely.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm sure you will. As will the guys here. They're very happy.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, A great start for the Melting Pot.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23As it stands, the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But plenty of hard yards to go yet, guys.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And we approach our next head-to-head, the second one today.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30This is Geography.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Who'd like to play this? Can't be Liam.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Would you prefer to do Geography?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Shall we keep you back for Sport, Dave? Just in case.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Yeah, go on then, Myles. - I'll go for Geography and...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47OK.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I'll pick Judith. - That's very nice of you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- That'll cheer Judith up. - It has cheered me up hugely, yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Not playing Sport also cheers you up.- I know. Exactly.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Phew, is what I think.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Let's have Myles and Judith into the question room, please.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Well, then. It's the appropriately named Myles playing Geography
0:07:07 > 0:07:09and you get to choose whether you face the first
0:07:09 > 0:07:10or the second set of questions.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Best of luck. First question to you then, Myles.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The city of Jeddah is on which body of water?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Jeddah... I've been to the Red Sea.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I usually look at the map of where I'm going to go on holiday
0:07:31 > 0:07:36and I don't think I saw a Jeddah on the Red Sea.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Although, it is a big sea.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I think I'm going to count that one out.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43The Bay of Bengal...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Jeddah...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Does it sound like that sort of area? I don't know.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I don't know the answer. But I'm going to go for the Caspian Sea.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I don't think it's the other two.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56The Caspian Sea. Doesn't think it's the Bay of Bengal or the Red Sea.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Judith, what do you think?
0:07:58 > 0:08:03I think it's Saudi Arabia so I think it's in the Red Sea.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It is the Red Sea. The one you ruled out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- You've been on the wrong side of the Red Sea, I would suspect.- Yes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10OK, Judith.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What is the English name for the Puente Aereo,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17the air shuttle route which links Barcelona and Madrid?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Well, puente, I think, is probably bridge so...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Air Bridge.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK. That's what unlocked it for you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Yes, Air Bridge is the right answer so you have the lead.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And Myles, to get you on the board,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Sylvania Waters and Killarney Heights
0:08:35 > 0:08:37are suburbs of which Australian city?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Again, I'm not sure.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think Sydney is...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Basically, you've got Botany Bay so...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50..I'm not sure if it's Sydney.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Melbourne, big city.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Adelaide, I'm not too sure about. It's a bit further out.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I'm not sure how much of the coastline that straddles.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- I'm going to go with Melbourne, I think.- OK.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Sylvania Waters and Killarney Heights in Melbourne? No.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's the big one, Sydney.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10OK, well, a chance, an early chance
0:09:10 > 0:09:12for Judith to clinch the round.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Judith, in which county is the village of Pentrich,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20source of the failed Pentrich Rebellion of 1817,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23when a group of men attempted to start a popular revolt?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, I don't know, but...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Cornwall has a lot of places beginning with "Pen", like, um....
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I can't think of any now, but anyway...
0:09:39 > 0:09:40We know what you mean.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Cornwall has a lot of places beginning with "Pen",
0:09:44 > 0:09:46so I'm going to have a bet on Cornwall.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, Cornwall. That's very good.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52"Such as... I'll get back to you on that."
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- And it's the wrong answer, Judith. - After all of that!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I like the way you're laughing. You have got the giggles.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's not Cornwall, it is... Other Eggheads, of the other two,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02is it Suffolk or Derbyshire?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- You tend to get... I think it's Derbyshire.- It is Derbyshire.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- You would automatically think of Cornwall...- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And, you know, the odd rebellion or two
0:10:10 > 0:10:13located in the West Country down there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, maybe a let off.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16This would be quite a comeback.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18First part of it is you need to get this
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and Judith needs to fail in hers, but one step at a time.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You need to get this.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Which Croatian city is the most southerly of these?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Croatia. Um,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Zagreb obviously the capital. Um...
0:10:34 > 0:10:35(Dubrovnik.) Split.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Oh, again this is going to be a complete guess.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Um...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Dubrovnik, I'm going to go for, straight down the middle.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48And you've got one.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- HE LAUGHS - One.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Good.- Is this going to happen? Well, Judith,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56still a chance to win the round, of course.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58What is the most visited national park
0:10:58 > 0:11:01in the United States of America?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, I must say, I don't know the statistics on that,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10but the Everglades are in Florida,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and I think more tourists go to Florida than anywhere else,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16so I'm going to say the Everglades.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20OK, the Everglades. Again, good guess.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And you were guessing. It's not the right answer, though.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- It's not correct.- Back in the game! - Other Eggheads... Look at Myles!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27"In the game!" You are!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31What a comeback. Just to clear up the answer with the other Eggheads.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- I think it's Great Smoky Mountains. - It is. Which are where, Pat?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Somewhere like North Carolina. Somewhere around the East Coast.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39OK. I mean, that is, I think, a shock.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yosemite isn't there, Yellowstone, all those parks.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's the Great Smoky Mountains.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Well, well, well, I bet after those first two fluffs, Myles,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- you didn't expect to see yourself still in the game.- I didn't.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55You are, and you're in Sudden Death, which, to explain to you
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and any players that come after you that may get into Sudden Death,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00means, quite simply,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02we remove the options, you've just got to tell me the answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05We make it harder to sort out a winner cos you're all square.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So, Myles, Kibo, K-I-B-O...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Kibo, the highest peak in Africa,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14and Mawenzi are part of which volcanic massif?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Now, the two areas in Africa that I know that are quite mountainous...
0:12:17 > 0:12:21There's the area in sort of Kenya with Mount Kilimanjaro.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24A lot of people climb that, but I don't think it's the tallest peak
0:12:24 > 0:12:28in...Africa.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32So, I think we're going to have to go north to Morocco sort of area,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35and I think it's the Atlas Mountains.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- So, I would say the Atlas Mountains. - The Atlas Mountains, OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You've got a little bit too much knowledge there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43You talked yourself out of the right answer, which was Kilimanjaro.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48David nodding again. David would've been through in this round.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But another chance for Judith.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Goat Island and Luna Island, L-U-N-A,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57separate sections of which famous waterfalls?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Niagara.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Niagara is the right answer, Judith.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05You got there in the end!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Bad luck, Myles. I thought you were going to do it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Certainly would have kept it going if you got Kilimanjaro.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Not to be. You won't be in the final round.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, Judith avenging CJ's defeat there with a storming victory,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and still thinking of some Cornish place names beginning with "Pen".
0:13:22 > 0:13:24She's going to tell us them all later.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29But, as it stands, both teams have lost one brain from the final round,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32and our third head-to-head comes up. This one is Music.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Who'd like to play? Liam and Myles played, so one of the other three.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Yeah, David?- I'll have a go, but it's not my strongest suit.- OK.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Want me to have a go?- Yeah. - You're going to do it, David?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I'm going to do it. - OK, could have done Geography.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I heard the discussion, held back for Sport.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Who knows what's last, but you're going for Music.- Under protest...
0:13:48 > 0:13:52OK, under protest, but you choose an Egghead, remember, and remember
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Judith and CJ have played, so you can face Kevin, Pat or Barry.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57They're all very difficult. I just say go for Barry.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Barry. They're all very difficult.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- All very talented people. - I'll try Barry.- Try Barry.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08OK, let's have David and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12OK, David, in there under protest you say.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I always said if I had a chance I'd go second just to break
0:14:18 > 0:14:22the routine of contestants going first,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but I've suddenly thought I'm sticking to go first.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30David, first question for you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Which group achieved fame
0:14:33 > 0:14:36when they became regular guests on The Andy Williams Show in the 1960s?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's got to be The Osmonds.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The Osmonds. It has got to be The Osmonds.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Presumably without little Jimmy.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- He would've been too young in the '60s.- I think so.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Well identified, David. So, your first question, Barry.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55In which decade did the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams die?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Oh, gosh, well, it certainly wasn't the 1990s. Ralph Vaughan Williams.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So that leave the '50s or the '70s.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08The '50s just seems a little too far back.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I think he lasted into the '70s, so I'll go for the '70s.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- OK, the 1970s. Incorrect. NOT right. - Oh!- No.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Obviously, we have to go to Kevin here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Give me the precise year.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21'58.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's correct.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- And when was he born?- 1872.- 1872.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So, very long-lived.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32OK, well, it's great news for the Melting Pot so far, David,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35to build on those firm foundations.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Let's see if you can get this.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Which conductor made the first complete studio recording
0:15:40 > 0:15:42of Wagner's Ring cycle?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52The answer doesn't immediately spring to mind. I'm...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I'm leaning towards one particular name.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01But I'm not absolutely sure, and...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04as I've been an admirer of his conducting,
0:16:04 > 0:16:09I've got to go with the popular one of Georg Solti.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Which is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Well, you do have a very firm lead,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17and Barry knows what he's got to do here, then.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Which successful British boy band consisted of Jimmy Constable,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Spike Dawbarn and Lee Brennan?
0:16:26 > 0:16:31I am a huge fan of all these boybands, as you obviously can tell.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34The names mean nothing to me,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37the bands mean even less to me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40So, let's see if my luck is in. Straight down the middle, 911.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Oh, it is in. Yes, it's the right answer, 911.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46David, fate in your own hands, as I always say.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48If you get this, you're in the final round.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52That's The Way It Is and Orsino's Songs
0:16:52 > 0:16:54are albums by which jazz singer?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00My inclination is to go straight down the middle,
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- but on this occasion, I'm going to go for Stacey Kent.- Stacey Kent.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Ooh!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Right not to go straight down the middle, but a friend of ours,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11actually, on Eggheads, isn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Been on Celebrity Eggheads. - She was on the celebrity one.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Yeah, the Radio 2 team. It's Clare Teal.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Clare Teal. So, bad luck there, David.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23But, Barry, is he going to revive his challenge here?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The song Marry Me A Little
0:17:25 > 0:17:29was written originally for which Stephen Sondheim musical?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33I don't know this song.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36So, all Sondheim musicals,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'll go for Company.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41My goodness me, Barry, you're back in it!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Ho-ho!- Well done.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That's... Oh, I mean, you admitted with number two there,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49when you had to get it, down the middle got you 911.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51But, we're in Sudden Death, David, and you know what that entails.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, here's your question.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Terence Parsons was the real name of which singer,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59whose main career spanned the early 1960s?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Terence Parsons.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I don't know a lot of the real names of a lot of singers,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09but I'm not certain about this.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I've got an inkling...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15which was Marty Wilde.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Marty Wilde, Terence Parsons.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's not. It's not.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Barry?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Ooh, it's either Adam Faith or Matt Monro. I think it's...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Terence Parsons. I think it's Matt Monro.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30It is Matt Monro. Real name Terence Parsons.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But that doesn't clinch the round for you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We don't pass questions over. That's only out of interest.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37This is the question that could win it for you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Troldhaugen in Norway is the site of a museum dedicated
0:18:41 > 0:18:45to which composer born in 1843?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well, I guess that can only be Grieg.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And you want a first name, don't you?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Edvard.- Edvard Grieg...
0:18:54 > 0:18:58is correct, Barry. You have clinched a very, very tight round.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Bad luck, David.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Would you both please like to come back and join your teams?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Well, the Eggheads have nudged ahead. As it stands, Melting Pot,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The Eggheads have only lost one.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, our last head-to-head, a chance for you to level it up
0:19:13 > 0:19:16in the final round, and this category is Film & Television.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Who wants to play this?- Kevin's up. - Kevin smiling there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21And the Eggheads are either Kevin or Pat.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm smiling now. Whether I'm smiling in five minutes...
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I think I'll have to take Pat on on this one.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Taking Pat to avoid Kevin on one of his strongest subjects?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Just got to avoid Kevin on everything!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, that means you leave him there for the final round,
0:19:35 > 0:19:36but it's your choice.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40So, Kevin and Pat playing this one. Into the Question Room, please.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK, then, Kevin, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I'll keep up with the rest of the team and I'll go first.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Here you go then, Kevin. First question.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Jeff Bridges starred in which 2010 film directed by the Coen brothers?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02This is a popular film which I unfortunately didn't see
0:20:02 > 0:20:05because it wasn't in our local cinema for long enough.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Very disappointed by that,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10but I know it's not Rio Bravo or High Noon.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- This is True Grit.- True Grit, yes. - Remake.- Yeah, the remake, yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Right answer. Well done.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Pat, which professional dancer partnered Kate Garraway, Jan Ravens
0:20:19 > 0:20:23and Ann Widdecombe on Strictly Come Dancing?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm not a complete Strictly addict.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34But I think Anton du Beke is suited up and sent in for some of
0:20:34 > 0:20:37the tougher partnering tasks, so I'm going with Anton du Beke.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39What on Earth could you mean by that? Ann Widdecombe?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Anton du Beke is the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Kevin, When The Whistle Blows is the title of a spoof sitcom
0:20:49 > 0:20:51that features within which TV comedy series?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I've actually got the theme tune whirling round my head.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It's one of my absolute favourite sitcoms. Ricky Gervais' Extras.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01It is indeed.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Very nice for you, the way that fell.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Great fan of Extras, and got it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10So, Pat, which Italian directed Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
0:21:10 > 0:21:13in the 1967 film The Taming Of The Shrew?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I don't know this.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24That's why I'll have to scavenge whatever hunches I can find.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Fellini is very much art house, and Taylor and Burton are mainstream
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Hollywood blockbusters, so perhaps it's not Fellini.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Pasolini is even more art house than Fellini,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and slightly exotic filmmaking.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Zeffirelli certainly did a couple of Shakespeare versions.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48So, on the basis that Zeffirelli has got some mainstream credits,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49I'll go for Zeffirelli.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Shakespeare work leading you to the right answer. Zeffirelli is correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And back we go to Kevin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Both of you going extremely well.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Who wrote the 1987 TV series The Ritz,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03set in the world of nightclub bouncers?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08This is something which I've heard of.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It's a series which I have heard of but I haven't seen.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15But based on what I think I've seen previously in credits,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I will plump for Paul Abbott.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20But it's quite a guess.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24OK, quite a guess at The Ritz for the world of nightclub bouncers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It's not Paul Abbott. You haven't got it. Pat?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I would guess at Godber. - John Godber, yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34He had a play, didn't he, just called Bouncers.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Presumably spun out of that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Well, chance for Pat, then.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41A slip-up there at a potentially critical point for Kevin.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Which fictional town was the setting for the TV drama Crown Court
0:22:45 > 0:22:49that ran from 1972 to 1984?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I think I know this, although I've got a slight feeling of uneasiness,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57because it rings a bell with the Viz comic as well.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Billy the Fish played for a team very much like Fulchester Rovers.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04But I think that's just a coincidence.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I think Crown Court was set in Fulchester.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Going for Fulchester.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09As well as appearing in...
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Is that Egghead reading material, then, Viz magazine?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14In the past, a long time ago, I read Viz.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Well, Kevin's nodding.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18He knows it. It's the right answer.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Yes, you're through to the final round. Bad luck, Kevin.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Just missing out with nightclub bouncers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Means you won't be in the final round, though.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:37 > 0:23:39won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Kevin, Myles
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and David from the Melting Pot,
0:23:41 > 0:23:46and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50So, Liam and Joe, you're playing to win the Melting Pot £3,000.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:23:53 > 0:23:56which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02The questions are General Knowledge and you're allowed to confer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08Liam and Joe, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So, Liam and Joe, first or second?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11We'll go first.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Well, good luck to you. And first question -
0:24:17 > 0:24:20in criminology, what name is given to an unsolved case
0:24:20 > 0:24:23which is no longer being actively investigated?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Pretty sure it's cold case. I'm pretty sure.- It's cold case?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I'm almost certain it's cold case. Almost certain.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35He's a law student. He knows, probably, very well.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well, I know from a couple of things.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's a term I've come across in various TV shows and forms of media,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and I just haven't heard the other two.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I'm pretty sure, cos it's open, it's not ended,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- but I'm pretty sure it's cold case. - Cold case.- Cold case.- Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52OK, it's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Eggheads, your first question. A unicorn is usually depicted
0:24:55 > 0:24:58in heraldry with the tail of which creature?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Well, I don't think it's got either
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- a fishtail or feathers, has it? - Well, an eagle hasn't got a tail.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Got to be lion. - Got to be a lion, hasn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12We'll go for a lion there, Dermot, please.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Lion is the correct answer. Well done, Eggheads.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, back to the Melting Pot. Second question.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22In 2011, Lauren Bush, the niece of George W Bush,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24married the son of which fashion designer?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I've got a feeling... What do you think?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Ralph Lauren?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Ralph Lauren was the first thing that came to my head. I'm not certain,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39but it was the first thing. It's that or Tommy Hilfiger, I'd say,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41but if that's your gut instinct, then let's go with that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- I think we'll guess... - Yeah.- I think A, Ralph Lauren.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47OK. It's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52And is known as Lauren Bush Lauren.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Or Lauren Lauren, or Lauren Laur-en. Well done, guys.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56And Eggheads, second question.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58"One must eat to live and not live to eat,"
0:25:58 > 0:26:02is a quotation from a play by which writer?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Hmm. Right. Any thoughts on this one?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- No.- I've heard the quote, obviously.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12It's one of those quotes
0:26:12 > 0:26:15that's passed into general language.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's slightly puritanical.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- And of those three, Brecht is the most puritanical, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- It does have a Brechtian ring to it.- It does, yeah. It does.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Didactic, yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It could be Moliere. It could very easily be Moliere.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28It could be any of them.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Yeah.- What's the Moliere glutton play called?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33L'Avare.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Mm. I think, on the whole, we've got reasons for Brecht.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I'm happy with Brecht.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's tenuous. It's tenuous.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43OK, we don't know it, Dermot.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Don't remember where that comes from, and it could actually be any of them.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54But on the basis it sounds a bit didactic, we'll go for Brecht.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Could be any of them, that's why it's a well-balanced question,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59as they all are on Eggheads. CJ's looking puzzled.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Let's just bring him in. CJ, what would you have said
0:27:02 > 0:27:04if you'd been with your team-mates there?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- I thought it was Brecht. I thought I'd studied this college, so...- OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12No. Well, then, you'd all have been wrong. Just confirming that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13It's incorrect.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Who wrote The Miser?- It is Moliere.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- We discussed that. - But you went for a glutton.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21This is a miser. "One must eat to live and not live to eat."
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah. Oh, no, Pat said "L'Avare", which is The Miser.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Oh, OK. Yeah, you thought of it, but missed it. It's Moliere. Moliere.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Which means...
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Liam offering a little prayer there,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37well, for something that he knows.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Wins you the money if you get it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Viracocha was the creator god of which civilisation?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51I don't think it's Ashanti,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53because it sounds very Indian.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Even Maori sounds very Asian.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So do you think Inca? That's a guess?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00I'm with you on this one.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Inca came to my head, but I would be lying if I said I had an idea.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- And that came to my head.- Yeah, go on then.- Inca. We'll go for Inca.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Go for Inca. - It's a guess, pure guess.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12OK, pure guess at Inca.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Well, it's a guess worth £3,000.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15- Yes!- You've just beaten the Eggheads.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24DERMOT LAUGHS
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Don't need to ask - happy about that, then?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Just a bit, yeah.- Just a tad(!) You have beaten them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You are the geniuses today, Melting Pot.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Thank you very much indeed. For beating the Eggheads,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37you've just won £3,000,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40and you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:43 > 0:28:46will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
