0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:34And hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are the Pursuers.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40This team of colleagues work for the same legal practice based in Glasgow.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Euan, I'm 53 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hello, my name is Elizabeth, I'm 56 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, my name's Donald.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm 60 years old and I'm chairman of our legal firm.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, my name's Sheila. I'm 62 and I'm a legal secretary.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, my name is Gillian. I'm 38 years old. I'm a paralegal.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Welcome to you, Pursuers. So the team name
0:01:04 > 0:01:08because of what you do and what you want to do to the Eggheads, I guess?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13If I'd thought of the name, I'd be mightily impressed, but, in fact,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15it was a colleague who came up with the name.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's a simple play on words.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22A pursuer is a party who brings a civil-court action in Scotland.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And, yes, we are pursuing an aim.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29My colleagues reassure me that we may be pursuing CJ.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Oh, I think he might like that! - LAUGHTER >
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It's been a while since I was chased!
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Best of luck, Pursuers. Every day, there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, Pursuers, the Eggheads have won the last two games.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52That means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Our first head-to-head battle is on sport.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Who wants to play and who will you take on?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I think that's you, Donald.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02ALL AGREE I think it's down to me.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And, in terms of Eggheads,
0:02:04 > 0:02:11I've got an inclination that CJ may give you a good battle.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm always happy to take on CJ,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19especially as it'll be the first time in my life that I do so.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20LAUGHTER
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It may be the last!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK. It's Donald against CJ.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Into the question room, please.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Donald, the first of our Pursuers in the question room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36You get to choose whether you go first or second in this round. What's it to be?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I think I would like to go second.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The first question from the first set of questions goes to CJ
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and this is it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The Britain and Ireland team play the continental Europe team
0:02:50 > 0:02:53for the Seve Trophy in which sport?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Just to check, Seve, S-E-V-E?- Yeah.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02That's named after Sevillano Ballesteros, who is golf.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06It is the late lamented Seve Ballesteros. Golf is correct.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Good start, CJ. And, Donald, hoping for an equally good one from you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Which bridge is crossed by participants in the Great North Run?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, the Forth is not really in the north of anywhere.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25And the Humber is halfway down England,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28so I'm going to go for the Tyne Bridge.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Tyne Bridge. If they crossed the others, they would have gone too far.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's the right answer, of course. The Tyne Bridge.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36APPLAUSE
0:03:36 > 0:03:38CJ, second question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What nickname was given to the Australian cricket team
0:03:41 > 0:03:43which toured England in 1948?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Don't know.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53How you surprise us all(!)
0:03:53 > 0:03:57The Australians are famous for calling a spade a spade, aren't they?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Even though it's a nickname probably given to them,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03they probably liked it, so I'll simply try The Invincibles.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's the right answer. Yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08OK, you have two out of two.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Let's see if Donald can keep up with this second question for you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Which football club which went into administration in 2006,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20won promotion to the Football League in 2011?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- I'm beginning to wish I'd asked for the first set of questions.- Oh, no.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Because I don't know the answer to this.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37So I'm going to select the answer which sounds
0:04:37 > 0:04:42most like it would be a team playing in the Football League now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I'm going to go for Crawley Town.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Crawley Town.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50It is the right answer. Yes. Crawley Town.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well done, 2-2.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54CJ, the basketball team from which country
0:04:54 > 0:04:56retrained its EuroBasket title in 2011?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02This could be any of them.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10I'm not aware of Germany having much prominence in basketball.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Spain and Russia, both have.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20This is essentially a blind guess. I'll just try Spain.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23OK, Spain. It's the right answer.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Got it, well done.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You have three and, maybe, a place in the final round.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30It depends what Donald does with this one.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34At which British racecourse is the Ribblesdale Stakes run?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, this is another one that's going to have to be a guess.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I'm thinking that Ribblesdale might relate to the River Ribble.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Which, if my geography is any good at all, which it isn't, really,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57takes us away from the south of England.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03But my problem is that I'm not sure I know
0:06:03 > 0:06:08which of these three racecourse locations actually is.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12And so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I think I will eliminate Newmarket.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I can almost sense my colleagues out there in the team wondering
0:06:19 > 0:06:24if I'm already eliminating the very right answer, but never mind,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm going to elect Sandown Park.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29OK, Sandown Park.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33In the south, like Ascot and Newmarket, kind of to the east.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It is Ascot, the Ribblesdale Stakes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So not Sandown Park, I'm afraid.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Which means, CJ's just nipped in there.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Pursued, but got away.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Which means, CJ, you'll be in the final round.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Well, as it stands, after one round the Pursuers have lost one brain.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The Eggheads are all there, so we move on to our second subject.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01This is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It can't be you, Donald
0:07:04 > 0:07:06but any of your colleagues.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07One of the ladies.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I think I'd like to do that one.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11OK. Sheila. Choose an Egghead.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Remember, it can't be CJ, but any of the other four.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Chris?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I think Chris. I'd like to play Chris.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23OK. Let's have Sheila and Chris into the question room, please.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27OK, Sheila. You get to choose. Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I think I'll go first, please.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35OK, tactical change by the Pursuers.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Kicking off this time. Sheila, your first question.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42The scientist known as Uncle Quentin features in which series of books?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well, I'll rule out Harry Potter.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Now, Famous Five, it's a long time
0:07:51 > 0:07:54since I've read any of the Famous Five books.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Twilight, this is a new one.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I think it sounds like an Enid Blyton.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'm going for the Famous Five.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The Famous Five and Uncle Quentin is the right answer, yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Chris, George Meikle Kemp,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13who was the designer of a monument to which author
0:08:13 > 0:08:15on Princes Street in Edinburgh. Is it..?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's got to be that Gothic spire thing on Princes Street
0:08:20 > 0:08:23that's a monument to Walter Scott.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24It is, indeed. Yes, Walter Scott.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Both of you is starting very assuredly.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Second question, Sheila.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33The Hengwrt manuscript.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37The Hengwrt manuscript is a copy of which early literary work?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hm. Well, I don't know this one.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Well, I don't think it's the Canterbury Tales.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Although, it might be.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52The Iliad...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'm going to go with Beowulf.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm not sure, but I'm going with that one.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Beowulf and the Hengwrt manuscript.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's not. People may be surprised.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06You'd have thought with that strange spelling. It's the Canterbury Tales.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Oh.- So, a chance for Chris.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13The 15th-century painter, Fra Lippo Lippi
0:09:13 > 0:09:16was the subject of a poem by which writer?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Browning and Tennyson tended to be more Romantic poets, didn't they?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Coleridge was more into the metaphysical side of things.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Fra Filippo Lippi was a monk, I believe.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, he would be - Brother - so I'll go with Coleridge.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- Coleridge?- Hm.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Consternation, certainly from Barry and Daphne,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41when you dismissed Browning. It is Browning.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So no damage done. Sheila, all square.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46And third question coming your way now.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Dead Souls is a novel by which Russian writer?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Dead Souls. Sounds very cheery(!)
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Hm. (Pushkin, Gogol, Lermontov.)
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Well, I'm afraid this is going to be a guess.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Lermantov.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Lermantov.- That's your answer, OK. Lermantov.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- You almost whispered it there, Sheila.- Sorry.- No, don't worry.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19But you should worry, it's not the right answer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21It is Gogol.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23A chance for Chris to win the round.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Joshua Reynolds' 1769 painting of Colonel Acland and Lord Sydney
0:10:28 > 0:10:34has what subtitle suggested by their activity in the painting?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I can't call to mind a Reynolds painting
0:10:38 > 0:10:42of anybody with bows and arrows,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44so I don't think it's The Archers.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The Riders, there'd have been horses involved
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and the great painter of horses was George Stubbs.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51So I'll say The Skaters.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53OK, The Skaters.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Colonel Acland and Lord Sydney skating. OK.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- No, it was painted in Ambridge actually(!)- Uh-huh?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- It's The Archers! - LAUGHTER
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It's The Archers!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So quite a lot of incorrect answers there.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09But the point being, Sheila, that it's stayed all square.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12You've still got every change to get through to the final round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16We go to sudden death after three questions, if it's all square
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and remove the options you've been looking at.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So you've just got to give me an answer here.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23How is Emma Harte known in the title
0:11:23 > 0:11:26of the first novel in the series by Barbara Taylor Bradford?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29A Woman Of Substance.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Indeed! That is correct.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37A Woman Of Substance, which you may prove to be
0:11:37 > 0:11:39if Chris doesn't get this.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Chris, "The primroses were over,"
0:11:43 > 0:11:45is the first line of which 1970s British novel?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- HE SIGHS - Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. 1970s British novel.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm going to have to pass on that, Dermot. Not a clue.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Not a clue?- No.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Not a guess?- Not a guess.
0:12:00 > 0:12:031970s British novel and he's passing.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06So you are a woman of substance, you are in the final round.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07We'd better enlighten everyone
0:12:07 > 0:12:10to the origin of "the primroses were over".
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Other Eggheads, any ideas? 1970s British novel.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Primroses, countryside.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Watership Down?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Barry?- Watership Down? - Barry there with Watership Down.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's the right answer for Barry, but it doesn't count.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Sheila, you're in the final round. Congratulations.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Well, the Pursuers levelled it up.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Third subject coming up today is Geography.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42So who of the remaining three players would like to take it from Euan, Elizabeth or Gillian?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- I think I will fall on the sword on this one.- OK.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- And...- Remember, CJ and Chris have played, so one of the other three.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Daphne smiles so pleasantly, it's hard to resist!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57LAUGHTER But, er,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I shall do
0:12:59 > 0:13:02and I shall select Barry.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Barry, you weren't smiling enough! It's going to be Euan and Barry
0:13:06 > 0:13:09playing this from the question room, please.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Right, Euan, let's see if you can lead the charge
0:13:15 > 0:13:17for the Pursuers and take the lead for your team.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go second, thanks.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26OK, switching the tactics around here.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28This time putting the Egghead in,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32as Donald tried in the first round and this is your question, Barry.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Which canal was originally named the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I have sailed down this canal and very impressive it is, too.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- It is the Kiel Canal. - You've sailed down it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- What, in your dinghy(?) - No, in a cruise liner.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Oh, very nice.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53The Kiel Canal is the right answer. Euan, your first question.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Which part of Australia is nicknamed the Sunshine State?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Right, it's one of these questions
0:14:02 > 0:14:04that, unfortunately, the answer
0:14:04 > 0:14:07doesn't immediately strike me.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Obviously, it's good to get off to a flying start.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12On the basis that I won't take for ever on this one,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I will plump for Queensland.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19OK. Queensland is correct. Well done.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Barry, second question.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Johor, J-O-H-O-R,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29a state containing the southernmost point of mainland Asia
0:14:29 > 0:14:31is in which country?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I believe the Johor Strait is the strait that sits
0:14:36 > 0:14:38between Malaysia and Singapore.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So Johor must be in Malaysia.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Is the right answer. Well done, Barry. Knows that part of the world.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47All right, Euan's second question.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49The Strait of Belle Isle,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52separates which island from the Canadian mainland?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The helpful aspect is that I've heard of Belle Isle.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05The unhelpful aspect is that I'm not quite sure of its precise location.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10I would have said in the region of Canada.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12We've given you that much!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Yes. Victoria Island, that seems over on the West Coast.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And I will decide
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- on Newfoundland.- OK.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Very cautious, but correct. Yes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Thank you.- OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Barry, oh dear, I'm sure Euan would have liked this.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Portree is the largest town on which island in Scotland?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I believe Portree is the largest town on Skye.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I don't think Euan would have taken long to tell us that, either. It's the right answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, Euan,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51the Turkish lira is divided into 100 what?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Right, this isn't a hard question,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00this is a particularly hard question!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Definitely into guessing territory.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06In terms of bani,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08that doesn't really sound...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It sounds to me
0:16:10 > 0:16:16more Indonesian or whatever, but not Turkey.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Then, of course, the middle one sounds,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23literally sounds, Eastern European.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24As a total guess,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I will go for the first option, kurus.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30100 kurus making a lira in Turkey.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Right answer, well done.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Steady, methodical and you've got three out of three.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39So we go to sudden death again, and a question for Barry now.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The word "Damascene" refers to which Middle Eastern city?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Damascene is often used to refer to silk
0:16:45 > 0:16:47and it's silk that comes from Damascus.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Damascus is the right answer. Also a Damascene conversion.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- As happened to...- St Paul.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58OK, Damascus, well identified.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Euan, which Asian country is sometimes referred to
0:17:02 > 0:17:05by its inhabitants as the Little Red Dot?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I'm thinking flags here and, er,
0:17:10 > 0:17:16certainly the country that immediately springs to my mind
0:17:16 > 0:17:20and which I will actually not delay further on,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'll say Japan.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26OK, Japan. OK. Right. Little Red Dot.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Land of the Rising Sun and all that.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34No, I think "little" is important in this. Little Asian country. Barry?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- I'm not sure, to be honest. - Oh, dear.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- The other Eggheads?- We're saying little Asian country? - Little Red Dot.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I thought India, from the bindi.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Funnily enough, I look at the questions before I ask them.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I got this one.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Singapore.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Oh, OK.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Why?- Because it's small!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55DERMOT LAUGHS
0:17:55 > 0:17:59It means, Euan, you've just missed out on a place in the final round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Barry's got it. Would you please come back and join your teams.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, tipped back the Eggheads' way.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The Pursuers have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Our last head-to-head coming up now before the final round. It's Film & Television.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Gillian there, biting her lip!
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Gillian, Elizabeth. Who wants to play?- Will I play it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- It's Gillian who's volunteering for this.- I'll volunteer.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Whether I'm any good, we'll see. - We will find out in a moment.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Gillian, who would you like to play from the Eggheads, Kevin or Daphne?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- What do you think? - Eeny-meeny miny-mo.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Go for Daphne. She looks nice.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll play Daphne.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Finally, the smile has worked, Daphne, you've got to play.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Let's have Daphne and Gillian. Into the question room, please.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Gillian, the Pursuers confusing me with this
0:18:53 > 0:18:57switching between starting or going second, what do you want to do?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'll take the first set of questions, please.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Gillian, first question.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Sylvester McCoy first played the starring role
0:19:06 > 0:19:09in Doctor Who in which year?
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Do you know, I don't know the answer to this one, and I did like David Tennant
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and I did love the old Doctor Who with Tom Baker.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm going to take a guess, and it is a guess, of 1977.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29'77.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's not. Eggheads?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- It's '87 to '89.- '87 to '89,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- so you know Doctor Who dates.- Yeah.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44- I think I'd stopped watching it then. - Wasn't Tom Baker doing it in '77?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Yes, it would have been. - That would have been Tom Baker then
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and '97, it had been axed.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well 1987, Sylvester McCoy.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Daphne, which 1933 film features the line,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59"You're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star"?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I think it was said to Dorothy Brock
0:20:09 > 0:20:11in 42nd Street.
0:20:11 > 0:20:1442nd Street. Yes. Hard to see it in King Kong.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You're going out a gorilla and you're coming back
0:20:16 > 0:20:18shot.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21But, you got it. 42nd Street. Well done.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Right, Gillian, let's steady the ship with this.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27The Compassionate Society
0:20:27 > 0:20:32and The Moral Dimension were episodes of which TV comedy?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40These are questions from when I was quite young, so I'm finding these a bit tough. Um...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I don't think it was Hi-De-Hi!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm thinking...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I swing towards Yes, Minister because of "society",
0:20:52 > 0:20:55but I don't know why and swinging to Citizen Smith.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Hm. A complete guess.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Absolutely no idea. I will say...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04..Citizen Smith?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'm probably going to regret that one!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I wish I could tell you you weren't, but you are. Yes, Minister.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- I was going to go for that. - I know you were.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15The Compassionate Society and The Moral Dimension.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19OK, Daphne, you take the round if you give a correct answer here.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Who was the original presenter of the TV show Saturday Kitchen?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Don't know.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I don't watch cookery programmes.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Um, I've really no idea.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Um...Gregg Wallace.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Is that a guess, total guess? - Total guess.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42And it's the right answer, yes.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- I'm so sorry. - You should be. Bad luck, Gillian.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I mean we're not going see much more of you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53A lovely laugh, great contestant. But just, oh...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Bad questions! - Bad questions, that's it!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- It wasn't my knowledge! - That's what we'll do,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01blame the questions.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04OK, Gillian and Daphne, come back, please
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and, Daphne, you're in the final round.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be able
0:22:16 > 0:22:20to take part in this round, so Euan, Donald and Gillian from the Pursuers
0:22:20 > 0:22:25and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Elizabeth and Sheila, you are playing to win the Pursuers' £3,000.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Barry,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34you're playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:22:34 > 0:22:37the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41This time, the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44just to remind you, and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So, Elizabeth and Sheila, the question is,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Elizabeth and Sheila, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We'd like to go first, please.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57OK, going first.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Shall we spook the Eggheads a bit before we start,
0:23:00 > 0:23:05because on £3,000, and the Eggheads haven't been doing very well lately.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The last three times we hit £3,000, you lost.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12OK, that's hopefully spooked them!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Now, let's get started.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16General Knowledge. First question.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19In the lyrics to a well-known song,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22who is described as "Russia's greatest love machine"?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28You don't want us to sing it, do you? No.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:23:29 > 0:23:33You can tell me the band after, if you give me the right answer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36That's Rasputin.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Rasputin.- Rasputin?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Is the right answer.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Now you can sing it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I think I'll pass!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Who's it by?- Boney M.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Boney M. Ra-ra Rasputin.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Eggheads, first question.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Abanazar is a character from which traditional pantomime?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Do you know, I think it might be Aladdin.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Yes. I know I'm supposed to be the spokesman here,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but, on this occasion, I've got to defer because I've seen him do it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05So the answer?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06After you, Kevin, please.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It's just possibly Aladdin(?) - It's possibly(!).- It's Aladdin.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- To which I have to respond, "Oh, no, it isn't!"- Oh, yes, it is!
0:24:15 > 0:24:20It is the right answer. CJ having played the part.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Pursuers, your second one.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Which Thomas announced the annulment of Henry VIII's marriages
0:24:27 > 0:24:29to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Cranmer, was he not an Archbishop?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And Cromwell worked in the government.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I think it was Thomas More.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Do you think so? - What do you think?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Wait, we'll think aloud. - Thomas More was so against,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51er, the marriages ending.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So you don't think it's him?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58But, Cranmer, I think, was a bishop.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59I'm not sure.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I think you should make the decision,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05because you're spokesman and you're better at history than I am.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Hopefully, I won't get this wrong. I think it's Thomas More.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13OK, Thomas More for announcing the annulments of Henry VIII's marriages
0:25:13 > 0:25:15to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17The answer is incorrect.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Not Thomas More.- Eggheads?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Cranmer.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26It was a religious decision and he was the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29As Kevin is explaining, it was, as you were talking about,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33it was a religious decision. You kind of did the analysis
0:25:33 > 0:25:38and went the wrong way. So it was Thomas Cranmer as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Let's see what damage is done. Obviously, got one wrong there.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Maybe the Eggheads will match it with their second question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48For what did the initials "JP" stand
0:25:48 > 0:25:50in the name of the American financier JP Morgan?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58He was John Pierpoint Morgan.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02John Pierpoint Morgan.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So you need to get this to stay in the game, as you well know.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10How is the title of Honore de Balzac's novel La Rabouilleuse
0:26:10 > 0:26:12usually translated into English?
0:26:12 > 0:26:19R-A-B-O-U-I-L-L-E-U-S-E.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27What's your instinct?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30My instinct goes with the Lily of the Valley.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- But... - It's not...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I would rule out The Black Sheep.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Can you spell it again, Dermot, please?
0:26:40 > 0:26:47It's R-A-B-O-U-I-L-L-E-U-S-E.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Rabouilleuse.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53E-U-S-E.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- That does sound female, doesn't it? - Yep.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59So maybe it is The Girl With The Golden Eyes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02What do you think?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I made the mistake last time!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I don't know why.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Any of the titles.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09INDISTINCT DISCUSSION
0:27:09 > 0:27:10I'm not 100% at all.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14But I think we'll go with that.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18We are going to go with The Girl With The Golden Eyes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23OK, The Girl With The Golden Eyes for Balzac's novel La Rabouilleuse, in French.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27In English, it's usually translated as
0:27:27 > 0:27:28The Black Sheep.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30BOTH: Oh, no!
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Bad luck. I want to ask the Eggheads. How did they get that?
0:27:42 > 0:27:48I was thinking, along with Pursuers, "euse", thinking something female.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50How do we get The Black Sheep out of that?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- What is a rabouilleuse?- We're not too sure on the linguistic side.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59- It's probably a colloquial term, but The Black Sheep is one of his stories of family conflict.- I see.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02You would have done it a different way. We knew that was his book, so...
0:28:02 > 0:28:05OK, you have broken the cycle, Eggheads.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10You've broken through the £3,000 barrier.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Bad luck, Pursuers, because some very good quizzing going on.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17One or two questions going wrong for you in those head-to-heads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It wasn't to be on the day. Thank you very much the coming in and being such good sports
0:28:21 > 0:28:23taking on the Eggheads.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Those Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
