0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wit against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Rumney High Old Boys from Cardiff.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team of friends take their name from the football club
0:00:40 > 0:00:43they helped to set up after leaving school. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hi. My name's Steve, I'm 28 and I'm an IT sales executive.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi. I'm Martyn, I'm 28 and I'm a mechanical engineer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Mike, I'm 28 and I'm a complaints analyst.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Nicky, I'm 29 and I'm a facilities manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Michael, I'm 28 and I'm a call centre worker.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Welcome Rumney High Old Boys.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05You were pretty good at football in your time.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I've been hearing about you
0:01:07 > 0:01:11going through four or five divisions, in terms of promotions.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Yes, that's right, Dermot.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We've known each other now for around about 16, 17 years.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19After leaving school, decided to set up the football team
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and we went from the bottom division in Cardiff to the Premier league.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Ooh! Pretty good stuff. Do you still play
0:01:26 > 0:01:28or are you coaching as well now?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I think at the moment, we're all pretty much on the same level
0:01:31 > 0:01:35where we've taken a step back and trying to coach the youth.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If you're as good at quizzing as you are at football,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39you might do very well here today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Let me tell you what's been going on.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:43 > 0:01:47for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Rumney High Old Boys, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56That means £4,000 says YOU can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Shall we start then? Hoping for Sport, I would expect. Let's see what comes up.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Our first head-to-head is not Sport, it's History.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07History to kick us off. Who'd like to take this one on?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Michael?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Michael.- I'll have a go at History. - It's going to be Michael.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- And which Egghead would you like to take on?- What do you think?- Pat?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Michael is going to take on Pat.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22OK. Michael taking on Pat on History.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Right. Let's see how it goes. Both of you, into the question room.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Michael, that's to make sure you can't confer with your teammates.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Michael, I know you know the rules, but just to reiterate.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36You get to choose because you're the challenger.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Do you want to go first or second in this round?- I think I'll go first.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44First question on History then.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The British war medal instituted in 1919
0:02:47 > 0:02:50features which monarch's profile?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I'm not too sure so it looks like it's going to be a guess.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I'm going to rule out Henry VIII.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And out of the other two...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- I'll go for Elizabeth I.- OK.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11OK. Elizabeth I for the British war medal.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15No, I'm not sure about your thinking on that, but not Elizabeth I.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19It was the man who was on the throne at the time, George V.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23George V, end of the first world war, of course. The year after.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK. Your first question, Pat. By what name
0:03:26 > 0:03:29was Commonwealth Day known before 1958?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Well, I believe the Commonwealth Games
0:03:36 > 0:03:38started life as the Empire games
0:03:38 > 0:03:41so that should be a big clue.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- I'll go for Empire day.- Empire day is correct. Pat, you have a lead.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Right, Michael. Let's get you started. Number two.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53How old was Edward VI when he came to the English throne in 1547?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Again, I'm not too sure.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll rule out nine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think that is a bit too young.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I will go for 39, down the middle.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09OK. Down the middle. 39 for Edward VI.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11He didn't even live to be that old.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's nine. OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Pat, an early chance
0:04:16 > 0:04:18for a victory here. In what decade
0:04:18 > 0:04:22did the farthing cease to be legal tender in the UK?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, it was gone, I think, before decimalisation.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30But I don't think it's that ancient.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I'm not entirely sure.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I think it lingered on quite a long time, so I'm going for the 1960s.- OK.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Right at the far end of those choices.
0:04:39 > 0:04:421960s for the end of the farthing....
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's the right answer, Pat. You've taken the round.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Can anyone be precise on the year for me?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Was it '61?- 1961. So just into the '60s.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52But that's enough to get Pat
0:04:52 > 0:04:55into the final round which means no place for you, Michael.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Well, Michael rather running into a brick wall there against Pat.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06No joy for the Rumney High Old Boys in that one means you've lost
0:05:06 > 0:05:08one brain. The Eggheads are all there.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Maybe this next subject might be more to your suiting. It's Music.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14More suited to you?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Do you know who wants to take this on?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Yeah, I'll take that one on, Dermot. - All right, Nicky.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And who do you want to play from the Eggheads?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It can't be Pat, but any of the other four of course.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Barry?- Definitely.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I'll take Barry on.- OK.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32It's Nicky versus Barry on Music.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Could you both please go to the question room to ensure there is no conferring?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40OK, then, Nicky. Right. Let's get you through, shall we?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Choose a set. First or second?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'd like to go first, please.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49OK. First question coming your way, Nicky.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Ricky Valance topped the UK singles chart in 1960
0:05:54 > 0:05:55with the song featuring
0:05:55 > 0:05:58which girl's name in the title?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I'm not too sure with this one, to be honest.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I don't know, but I'm going to rule out Lavinia.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12And take a guess at Lucy.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It's not. Let me check with some of the Eggheads there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well, Barry, you might just about remember.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Of course, Ricky could have spent his farthings then,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I guess, in 1960. Who was he singing about?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, I would tell Laura I loved her.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Ah. OK. Now I know the song.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Yep, it is Laura. Laura, Nicky.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32So, Barry, first question.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The 1970s group The Bay City Rollers
0:06:34 > 0:06:37were often seen wearing large amounts of which fabric?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43That's a fine question to ask up in Glasgow. They wore tartan.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yes, The Bay City Rollers bedecked...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, not entirely bedecked,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50but a lot of tartan about them. It's the right answer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK, Nicky, second question.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Harry, Liam, Louis,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Niall and Zayn became famous as members of which boy band?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Well, as a fan of the X Factor I think I should get this right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I think it's One Direction.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08One Direction is the right answer. You're on the board.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So, Barry, what was the title of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beakie, Mick
0:07:14 > 0:07:17and Tich's single that reached the number two spot
0:07:17 > 0:07:18in the UK in 1968?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I think I vaguely remember this.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I'm pretty certain it was called Bend It!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I suppose it's better than the other two.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31It is the right answer. I'm not going to say their name again.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Dave Dee, Dozy, Beakie, Mick and Tich. Bit of a tongue twister.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Well, you have two and Nicky has one,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39which means Nicky, you need to get this.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Which American entertainer had US hits in the 1940s
0:07:43 > 0:07:49with the songs Buttons And Bows, The Gypsy and Blues In The Night?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Again, it's not really my type of music.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I'm going to go straight down the middle, the one I've heard of,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Rosemary Clooney.- Rosemary Clooney.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Of course, the aunt of George.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Rosemary Clooney there, the one you've heard of,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11presumably because of that family connection. But it's not.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It is... Barry, do you know?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm not sure. Is it Connie Stevens?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm not going to ask the other Eggheads. That's not right either.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22You thought it was Dinah Shore as well, did you, Daphne?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27No. I thought it was Rosemary Clooney.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's Dinah Shore, to confirm that. Buttons And Bows,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Gypsy and Blues In The Night.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Which means the blues now surrounding
0:08:35 > 0:08:37the Rumney High Old Boys.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Nicky deprived of a place in the final round by Barry.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45So far, Rumney High Old Boys,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49it seems like you've run into the Eggheads regaining a bit of their old swagger here.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Not going so well for you. You've lost two brains from the final round.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55The Eggheads are all there.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So best efforts now to get rid of one of them.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I know in your heads, you're thinking,
0:08:59 > 0:09:00"We're trying. We are trying."
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I know you are. Next subject is Science.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Three of you left eligible for this,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Steve, Martyn or Mike.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It's your call.- Martyn?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Who would you like to take on?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17CJ? Chris?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'll take on CJ, please.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Martyn from Rumney High Old Boys and CJ from the Eggheads.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25To ensure you don't confer with your teammates,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Martyn, you get to choose, as you know.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Do you want to go first or second?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm going to go second this time.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42CJ in there then. CJ, first question. In agriculture,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45what name is given to an airtight structure
0:09:45 > 0:09:47in which animal fodder is stored?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Well, they're all containers, but this one's a silo.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Silo.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Also where you keep nuclear missiles as well
0:09:56 > 0:09:59should you be that way inclined.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Probably not alongside the wheat.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Silo is correct.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08And your first question, Martyn. What type of creature
0:10:08 > 0:10:11is the cotton pest the boll weevil?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I've got an inkling that it is one of them so...
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I can confirm that!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'm going to rule out the beetle.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I think I'm going to go with spider.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30OK, spider for the boll weevil.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33It is one of them and it's the one you ruled out. It is the beetle,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36the boll weevil. Bad luck.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's been happening to you,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I think, in every round so far.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Rumney High Old Boys not getting the first question right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It's a bit of a handicap to deal with and going second means
0:10:45 > 0:10:48you might face a 2-0 lead from the Eggheads.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50CJ, what word does the letter X
0:10:50 > 0:10:55represent in the name of the computer language XML?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Another computer language I haven't heard of.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02This is Barry's field not mine.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- XML.- Yes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10If we're assuming the L stands for language...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Um... Exhaustive?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Exact? Extensible?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You could see it standing for extensible,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23but why not extendable or something?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- I don't know. I'll just guess at exact.- OK. Exact.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Well, let's check with Barry who's thumping his head with his hand.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I suspect Barry's going to tell us it's not that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35No, it's Extensible Markup Language.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Extensible Markup Language.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42You were right about the L, CJ. Some compensation there.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Sorry, Barry, you were going to say? - It's a souped-up
0:11:44 > 0:11:47version of HTML which is the main language for writing websites.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Souped-up version of HTML. Thank you for explaining that to us.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53XML, the X for extensible.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Well, a chance then
0:11:55 > 0:12:00to get level pegging here, to get upside CJ, Martyn.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Your second question. Which of the five
0:12:02 > 0:12:06main senses is most affected by anosmia?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14A-N-O-S-M-I-A.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Anosmia.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I think I'm going to go with smell.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Smell...
0:12:22 > 0:12:23is the right answer. Yes.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Well, it's all square which is
0:12:25 > 0:12:28great news for the Rumney High Old Boys.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Now you need to get ahead though.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32So you've got to hope CJ doesn't get this.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Over 70% of the world's platinum production, CJ,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37takes place in which country?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'm trying to remember. I think I just read this fairly recently.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I read a lovely book on the elements.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I'm just trying to remember this.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There's an awful lot of...
0:12:53 > 0:12:57..what you may consider unusual mineral deposits
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and metal deposits in South America.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I don't think it's South Africa.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm not sure why, but simply because there is such a preponderance
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- of precious metals in South America, I'll try Venezuelan.- OK.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Periodic tales. Obviously didn't get to the chapter on platinum then.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And it's not Russia, CJ.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's the last one. It's South Africa.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25South Africa with 70% of the world's platinum production. Well...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28this could be a remarkable turnaround.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31You got your first one wrong. CJ got his right.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34But he stumbled with his last two
0:13:34 > 0:13:38and the chance for a place in the final round with this, Martyn.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What is the scientific name for the process by which a cell
0:13:41 > 0:13:44such as a white blood cell or amoeba
0:13:44 > 0:13:47ingests or engulfs other cells or particles?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's quite a tough one.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58I'm go to go...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I think I'm going to go with meiosis.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yep.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08OK. Meiosis there for engulfing or ingesting another cell or particle.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Are you going to do that to CJ?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13No, you're not. It's incorrect. Eggheads, do we know?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Phagocytosis.- Phagocytosis. - Phagocytosis.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Phago means eating.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Phago meaning eating.- Yes.- I see. From the Greek?- Yes.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23The Eggheads knew their Greek and it was all Greek to Martyn.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So it means we go to sudden death for the first time.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Sudden death, still very much in it, Martyn, but it becomes harder
0:14:30 > 0:14:33because we can't offer you any options in sudden death.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And CJ, your question. The Long March 3A,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40a carrier rocket used to launch satellites into orbit is part
0:14:40 > 0:14:43of the space programme of which country?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I haven't heard of it, but the Long March took place in China,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48so I'll guess at China.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Yes, China. That's presumably why it's so named.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You have the lead again. And Martyn,
0:14:54 > 0:15:00for what does the letter C stand in the abbreviation CMB,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05the discovery made by the scientists Penzias and Wilson
0:15:05 > 0:15:08in the 1960s that lent support to The Big Bang Theory?
0:15:09 > 0:15:15The only thing I can really think of is probably going to be combustion.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Is that your answer? - Yeah, I'll go with combustion.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Combustion, big bangs, things burnt up there.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well, probably not in space with the lack of oxygen.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's not combustion.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31We've got it from Barry. Just say it again.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.- Yes.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40It's Cosmic Microwave Background so the C is for cosmic there, Martyn.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42So close but I'm afraid you have fallen as well.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Not into the final round. CJ's just made it in there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, getting closer, I feel, but still not broken through,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54still not knocked an Egghead out yet.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57The Rumney High Old Boys have lost three brains.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So your last chance now to get rid of one of them.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04The category I think you were hoping for Sport comes up right now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, two players available.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Steve or Mike.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Yeah, I'll do Sport.- You do Sport.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It's Chris or Daphne there waiting for you.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14I'll take Chris, please.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Chris.- Lucky for you, I'm right out of thunderbolts today.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER
0:16:20 > 0:16:23OK. Let's have Mike and Chris into the question room, please.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Mike, now, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Chris, first question. What name is commonly given
0:16:35 > 0:16:39to the short trial, the initial stage of the modern Tour de France,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41that has often been used to decide who wears the yellow jersey
0:16:41 > 0:16:43during stage one?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Well, the overture is the start of an opera.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Prologue is the start of a play.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57We're talking France and the start of anything, c'est le commencement.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- So that's what I'll go with. Commencement.- OK. Commencement.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- No, it's not.- Oh. - It is the prologue.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06OK. Well...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Good start then for you, potentially, Mike.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Let's see if you benefit from that failure by Chris with this one.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16A barbell is an item of equipment in which Olympic sport?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I'd be very surprised if it was volleyball
0:17:21 > 0:17:23so I'll rule that one out straight away.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I've never heard it associated with sailing,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28so I'm going to go for weightlifting.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32It might be a bit of an impediment on your boat, wouldn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Have a couple of barbells. Maybe handicap them.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Absolutely, well done. You have the lead. Weightlifting is correct.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Well done, Mike.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Chris, Levante is a football team from which country?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51This is awkward. It wouldn't be Ukraine because they speak Russian.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Er...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Does it mean get up in Spanish or is it a reference
0:17:56 > 0:18:00to the Levant in terms of the eastern Mediterranean?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Um...
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Levante.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Si...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Yeah, we'll go with Spain.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Is the right answer. Yes, Spain. Well done.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And you're still in it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18But a lead beckons again if you can get this, Mike.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It might suit you this one. Apart from South Africa,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23which was the only African nation
0:18:23 > 0:18:27to compete at the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Being Welsh I should know this one cos they actually played Wales.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34That's Namibia, Dermot.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Nice and easy for you. It's the right answer. Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It means Chris needs to get this.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The 24 hours of Le Mans sports car race
0:18:43 > 0:18:45starts at roughly what time of day?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Ah. Well, it wouldn't start at midnight.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I've seen film of the famous Le Mans start where they run to their cars
0:18:54 > 0:18:58and it's full daylight, so it's not dawn, so it must be mid-afternoon.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Well worked out. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04So, clinging on in there after getting
0:19:04 > 0:19:06his Tour de France question wrong.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We returned to France for that and he got that correct.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He does go out though, if you get this, Mike.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15In the 1950s, the 3W's
0:19:15 > 0:19:18was a collective name given to the cricketers
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Clyde Walcott, Frank Worrell and which other Barbadian batsmen?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'll be honest, Dermot, I'm not too sure at all.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33So I'm going to take a complete stab in the dark at Chester Watson.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37A stab in the dark at Chester Watson to complete the trio of Ws,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40the 3Ws. Well, Walcott, Worrell and...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Weekes. Everton Weekes.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45So, we go to sudden death.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Chris, Nova Peris-Kneebone
0:19:48 > 0:19:51represented which country at hockey and athletics?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I've heard of a Kneebone's Cafe somewhere.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Australia, I think.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yeah, we'll go with Australia.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's the right answer!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- You've heard of a Kneebone's Cafe? - Kneebone's Cafe somewhere, yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I mean, what... In what...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I don't know. It just rings a bell.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Probably one of Bill Bryson's books.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Right. Somehow Chris dredging that up.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Not sure if there's any connection but got it anyway.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Australia's what we needed to hear and we did.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So, Mike, turnaround from the last time you faced a question.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You were facing the question for a place in the final round.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28This to maintain your place in this head-to-head.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The Austrian footballer Karl Rappan
0:20:31 > 0:20:35had four spells from the late 1930s to the 1960s
0:20:35 > 0:20:38as manager of which national side?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I've never heard of that gentleman before in my life,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44so this is going to be a stab in the dark again.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Austria...
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Hungary were a pretty good side. I'll go Hungary,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54just because they were a pretty good force back then.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56OK. And of course, those links between Austria
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and Hungary for so many hundreds of years.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But it's not Hungary. Any Egghead know?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Germany?- No. Switzerland.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09'37, '38, '42, '49, '53, '54 and '60, '63, Karl Rappan.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13And that is an incredible turnaround in Chris's fortunes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Got his first question wrong, was looking at ejection,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20but turned the tables and it's Mike who's gone from the final round.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Well, now this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads will not
0:21:31 > 0:21:33be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37So, Martyn, Mike, Nicky and Michael, from the Rumney High Old Boys
0:21:37 > 0:21:40would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44So, Steve, you're playing to win the Rumney High Old Boys £4,000.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00So, Steve, the question is,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Steve, do you want to go first or second?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think I shall go first.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Well, good luck, Steve. First question coming your way right now.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19The Kerguelen Islands that are located in the Indian Ocean
0:22:19 > 0:22:21belong to which European country?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I will spell them for you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29They are spelt K-E-R-G-U-E-L-E-N.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34The Kerguelen Islands that are located in the Indian Ocean
0:22:34 > 0:22:36belong to which European country?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40OK, Dermot. I'm not 100% sure on the answer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I know through links that
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Great Britain, the United Kingdom, had quite strong links with India.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Being in the Indian Ocean, I think my option is going to be the UK.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54OK, the UK for the Kerguelen Islands.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Eggheads, what do you think?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- France.- It is France.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00They are French overseas territory.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Now the Eggheads' first question.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Eggheads, which prize for painting and sculpture
0:23:05 > 0:23:12was inaugurated in 2008 and won in 2011 by Henrietta Simpson?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Anybody heard of it? - The Cornhill prize rings a bell.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- The Threadneedle prize rings a bell. - I thought that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I thought I'd heard of the Threadneedle,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That's the only one I've heard of.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29CHRIS: It's not the Aldwych Prize.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33The only thing I'd say is that Cornhill are a big insurance company
0:23:33 > 0:23:36who have sponsored cricket and stuff in the past. That's all.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I haven't heard of the prize though.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43I'd be prepared to go with one of Pat's slight inkles
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- over one of my certainties.- If people have heard of the Threadneedle prize
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- then that would be...- I don't know. I've got doubts.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I can't place it. I just thought...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- BARRY:- Shall we take a vote?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Who's for Cornhill then? - Democracy in action on the Eggheads!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Are you for Cornhill? - Well, I'm neutral.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- No, no. If we're having a vote, you've got to vote.- All right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Are you voting Cornhill?- Yes. - That's three to two.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- CHRIS:- If it's wrong, it's wrong.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12We've never heard of them
0:24:12 > 0:24:18but on a majority vote were going to go for the Cornhill Prize.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20OK. The Cornhill Prize.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Interesting, very interesting, those discussions.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Those that had a feeling went for the Threadneedle Prize
0:24:25 > 0:24:29but were outvoted. CJ saying that his strong feeling
0:24:29 > 0:24:33outdone by an inkling from Pat.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Well, the inkling...
0:24:34 > 0:24:35is wrong.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It is the Threadneedle Prize.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Strong feelings, but interesting to see. Democracy in action.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44As you said, if it's wrong, it's wrong.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48But if it's right, it's right. It doesn't matter who knows it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49That's great news for you, Steve.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's almost like we're starting again.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Forget those first couple of questions. It's all square.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Second question for you.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Which museum opened in Manchester in 2002
0:25:00 > 0:25:03in a building designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind?
0:25:09 > 0:25:14OK. I can't say, personally, that I've heard of any work
0:25:14 > 0:25:16that stands out by that particular architect.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Um...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21The Lowry I have heard of
0:25:21 > 0:25:24which makes me think perhaps I would have heard of that architect.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30So, I think I might rule the Lowry out on this particular question.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Imperial War Museum North...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36National Media Museum, Manchester...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I know Manchester over the last decade or so
0:25:40 > 0:25:43has invested quite a lot into
0:25:43 > 0:25:47media, technology, commercialisation.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52I think on this, my instinct would be to go for the National Media Museum.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK. National Media Museum
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and rightly identifying
0:25:56 > 0:26:00what a media city it has become, Manchester. But...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03it is the Imperial War Museum North.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It is the Imperial War Museum North
0:26:06 > 0:26:09by Daniel Libeskind, the building.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13So, nothing there again. What about the Eggheads? Second question.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Following restoration in 1978, how tall are each of the letters
0:26:17 > 0:26:20that make up the famous Hollywood sign in California?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- BARRY:- Not as tall as you may think.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'd go for 45.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I moderately surprised at that as well.- Yeah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- It's not that big a thing, actually. - 45 is about 13.5 metres.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- PAT:- Seven tall men stacked up. Seems like a lot.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I'm actually moderately surprised it's that tall.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'd certainly go for 45.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46OK. 45 feet.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48OK. 45 feet.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Seven tall men stacked up. That's a good way of thinking about it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Quite tall enough. It's the right answer.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57The Eggheads work it out there with common sense
0:26:57 > 0:27:00rather than knowledge. But, yes,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03they have a lead and it's potentially a winning lead
0:27:03 > 0:27:06if you don't get this.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08So best of luck with it, Steve. Who won an Academy award
0:27:08 > 0:27:11for the Best Actress in a leading role
0:27:11 > 0:27:13for the 1962 film The Miracle Worker?
0:27:18 > 0:27:23OK. This particular film is not one that I've seen myself.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So it's going to be quite difficult.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The name out of the three that's standing out for me
0:27:30 > 0:27:32is Joan Crawford. Erm...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Whether that is the correct answer is the problem.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40I think that...
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I think I shall go for Joan Crawford.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Joan Crawford for Academy Award for Best Actress in 1962.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- It's not. Eggheads, do you know? - EGGHEADS: Anne Bancroft.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Anne Bancroft. And that means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Tough questions there, Steve.- Very.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I thought you did well with your analysis on the Manchester one.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Very tough.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11But obviously you didn't know it was the Imperial War Museum North.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Good to see you. Thank you very much for taking the Eggheads on.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16But they've done what comes naturally
0:28:16 > 0:28:18and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with the £4,000. That means the money
