0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35You can see we've got a new Egghead there, Dave.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37We'll find out more about him in just a moment.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This team of colleagues all work
0:00:43 > 0:00:47for the same industrial tape factory in Manchester. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Phil. I'm 60, I'm a process operative.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Sue. I'm 58 and I'm a receptionist.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Ruth. I'm 35 and I'm a credit controller.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Simon, I'm 31 and I'm an engineer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Tracy. I'm 44 and I'm a credit controller.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11So, Phil and team, welcome. And you make tape?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Now, I'm thinking sticky-tape or crime-scene tape or what?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21All sorts of tapes for loads of different industries.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Our products go into aeroplane production, car production,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28cell phones, buildings.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- You name it, we do it.- Is there any kind of tape you don't make?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35No. Bad tape. Poor tape.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Could you tape this lot up?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- We'd like to.- To stop them winning. - We're going to try.- Good luck.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:44 > 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 > 0:01:52So, Tapes Of Wrath, I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last
0:01:52 > 0:01:56seven games, which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- That's good.- Good stuff. Would you like to try?- Oh, yes.- Definitely.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The first head-to-head battle is going to be
0:02:02 > 0:02:03on the subject of Film and TV.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Now which of you would like this? - Tracy....
0:02:06 > 0:02:07THEY CONFER
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Tracy?- Definitely. - Immediate decision, OK.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Against which Egghead, Tracy?- I think we should start with Dave.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Test Dave.- I think, because he's a local lad, I think Dave.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Yes, he is from Manchester like you, and this is his first show.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You're going to put him in the booth for the first time.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You up for that, Dave?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I've got to have it, I've got to go for it, haven't I?- Good stuff.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Tracy versus Dave from the Eggheads, please take your positions
0:02:32 > 0:02:33in the Question Room now.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We say welcome to Tracy but also welcome to Dave.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Your first time in the booth, Dave.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Your nickname in Manchester was Tremendous Knowledge.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Why did people call you that?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Because I have a local radio show, where people used to phone up
0:02:49 > 0:02:54at late night and ask me questions about all manner of topics.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I even got a question once, someone asking me,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58"Who's this in a picture?" on the radio.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And what was weird I got it right, as well.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04They would ring up
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and they would say...moments of history, geography, whatever?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Anything that came into their minds at all.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I had a reasonable strike rate on it
0:03:11 > 0:03:15but there were always questions that are going to stump you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Good luck in this round to you both. Let's see how you do.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21It's three multiple choice questions,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23the subject is Film and TV.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Tracy, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32All the best. Your question.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Who played Margaret Thatcher in the film The Iron Lady
0:03:35 > 0:03:38released in the UK in January 2012?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46OK. I haven't actually seen the film
0:03:46 > 0:03:50but I'm aware that it did quite well at the Oscars ceremony.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It certainly wasn't Penelope Keith and it certainly wasn't
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Patricia Routledge, so I'm going to say it was Meryl Streep.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Meryl Streep is the right answer. She does an amazing job.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Who's seen it, actually? Good job.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Amazing. She just becomes her.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Yes, she does. Dave, your question. - Yep.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Sarah Lund is the central character in which TV crime series?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18You know, I don't know.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Cos Wallander, I thought was Kenneth Branagh as the central character
0:04:23 > 0:04:26so it's between Spiral and The Killing.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Just on a hunch I'll have to go The Killing.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Your hunch is spot-on. Have you not seen it?- Not seen it at all.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It's one of these Danish sensations along with Borgen,
0:04:37 > 0:04:38it's just brilliant, I must say.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Tracy, your question. See if you can shake him off.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43In the US TV series The Sopranos,
0:04:43 > 0:04:48what is the name of Tony Soprano's wife?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Ah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55This might be quite tricky.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm probably one of the few people that hasn't actually
0:04:58 > 0:05:00watched The Sopranos.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I can't rule out any, I'm just going to have to take
0:05:03 > 0:05:06a massive stab in the dark and say Carmela.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well that's fair because he got The Killing with a stab in the dark,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Carmela is the right answer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Dave, which pop star directed the 2011 film W.E.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21about the relationship between Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson?
0:05:24 > 0:05:30I think Beyonce was busy having children at the time,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32so I don't think it's her.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Jennifer Lopez might have got involved with production
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and directing but I don't think this is her type of thing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45But Madonna's always wanted to get a name for herself in terms of films
0:05:45 > 0:05:48and also get some gravitas in terms of critics.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That would be my answer. Madonna.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Madonna's the right answer, Dave. You're level after two questions.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Here is your third question, Tracy.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02The Oscar-winning song The Morning After featured in which film of the 1970s?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I have seen all three films but many years ago.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Complete and utter guess, again, The Towering Inferno.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's see if any of your team-mates know.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- It's tricky this, isn't it?- I'd have gone for the same thing.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- We'd have gone for the same. - You'd have said Towering Inferno?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Dave, what do you think?- I don't know, is it The Poseidon Adventure?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- It is The Poseidon Adventure, Tracy. - Never mind.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31You got it wrong, not The Towering Inferno.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Dave, this for the round,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35your first round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Who won a best actor Oscar for his performance as Antonio Salieri
0:06:40 > 0:06:42in the 1984 film Amadeus?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It's a bit better with the options that are there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55If Tom Hulce had come up, that would have been a toss-up but...
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Tom Hulce played Mozart and F Murray Abraham played Salieri,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02so F Murray Abraham's my answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Playing well, Dave, three out of three on your first outing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Well done. F Murray Abraham is the right answer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Sorry, Tracy, been knocked out by our new Egghead
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and as a result you will not be able to help your team
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- in the final round.- OK, thank you.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Well done, Dave. - Relieved to get through.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I think Tracy got the rough end with the third question.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Just relieved to get to this end. Sorry, Tracy.- No problem.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32What does it feel like playing alongside these legendary quiz team?
0:07:32 > 0:07:37It's an honour, to be honest, I don't mean that in any glib way,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39these are some of the best quiz players
0:07:39 > 0:07:45I've encountered in competitions before, so to be sat here
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and having to earn my corn with them, it's going to be a challenge.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Doesn't mean you can't win, by the way. Don't be put off by that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54You have lost one brain from the final round, sorry, Tracy,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56but let's see what happens now.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Next subject is Music. Who would like this?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- I'll do music.- Sue against which Egghead? Anyone but Dave.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06I'll take Barry.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK, so Sue from The Tapes Of Wrath
0:08:09 > 0:08:12versus Barry from the Eggheads. You up for this, Barry?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Absolutely.- On Music?- Yes.- OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Music in turn.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Sue, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I'd like to take the first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Here we go, Sue, best of luck.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34MMMBop was a UK hit single for Hanson in which year?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37MMM is just three Ms.
0:08:43 > 0:08:461977 I presume would be too early.
0:08:48 > 0:08:501987, 1997...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I think I'll go with 1997.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Superb, you're right, well done. '97 it is.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Did I say that right, Barry - MMMBop?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I believe so.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It couldn't really be anything else, could it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's not an opera so you won't know.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Here's your question.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Who set up the rock band, the High Flying Birds in 2010?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I believe the High Flying Birds were set up by Noel Gallagher.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Noel Gallagher from Oasis it was, well done.
0:09:22 > 0:09:29Sue, Booker T. & the MG's had a UK top-ten single in 1979 with
0:09:29 > 0:09:32an instrumental number named Green...what?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, I know that one. It's certainly not potatoes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It's certainly not bananas, but it's onions.
0:09:41 > 0:09:48It is onions. Now, I can't place the tune, hum it someone. No, anyone?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50De-de-de de de-de-de...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's a great tune but we're not doing it justice.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58OK. Barry, back to you. Which actress had a UK top 20 single
0:09:58 > 0:10:02in 1963 with the song All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I remember this song. I'm pretty certain it wasn't Wendy Craig
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and I don't believe it was Barbara Windsor. I think it was Dora Bryan.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Dora Bryan is the right answer. Well done to each.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Hard to shake off, these Eggheads, aren't they, Sue?- They are.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28In February 2011 London's Royal Opera House produced a work
0:10:28 > 0:10:30based on the life of which woman?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's a bit hard cos I haven't got a clue.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43So I think we'll adopt the Judith method and go...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- down the right. Jackie Kennedy. - Jackie Kennedy is your answer.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Judith, it's catching on.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Obviously national interest in your method, Judith.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well, it hasn't worked this time.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It hasn't work, it's Anna Nicole Smith,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59which is almost un-guessable, I suppose.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Here's your question, Barry, if you get this right
0:11:01 > 0:11:02you've taken the round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta The Pirates Of Penzance
0:11:06 > 0:11:10had its official premier in which city in 1879?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Gosh, what an interesting question.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Wish I had an interesting answer for it. I really don't know.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25I somehow can't imagine Gilbert and Sullivan up as being premiered
0:11:25 > 0:11:29anywhere outside the UK. So I will go with Belfast.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Any Eggheads? Kevin?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34My instinct was New York, I don't know why.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- New York is the right answer, Barry, it's not Belfast.- How interesting.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So, you're level after three questions, well done, Sue.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42- Thank you.- Held him off.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We go to Sudden Death now, it gets that bit harder
0:11:44 > 0:11:47because I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- Are you ready?- I am.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Which American pop band had hit singles in the UK in the 1960s
0:11:52 > 0:11:55with Daydream and Summer In The City?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Is it The Lovin' Spoonful?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It is The Lovin' Spoonful, really well done.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Now Barry's struggling to stay in.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09The singer, Baaba Maal, was born in which African country, Barry?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Hmm.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Well, it definitely sounds African. But I have no idea where he is from.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Baaba Maal...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I shall try Somalia.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Anyone know, here?- Senegal.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Senegal is the answer.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Well, I got the S bit right. - Barry, not Somalia. Sue, well done.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Hey, The Tapes, well done to you, you will be in the final.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Barry has been knocked out, he will not be.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Bit of good news for your team. Good stuff.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Please both of you rejoin your teams.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45We've got a bit of a contest now. As it stands,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48the challengers have lost that one brain but the Eggheads have also now
0:12:48 > 0:12:51lost a brain and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's going to be History.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Who would like History?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Is it me?- I don't want to do it. - No, I don't want it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I think it'll be me.- Phil, OK.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Which Egghead would you like, obviously not Barry or Dave?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think it's Judith.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Phil against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn and Phil,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16you can choose the first or the second set.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'll got first, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Here is your question, Phil, good luck to you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29The former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain died in which year?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38I think it was a long time after 1940.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think it was before 1980.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm drawn to 1960. That's my answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I love a bit of politics, I would have said 1960,
0:13:47 > 0:13:48but it is wrong.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51He died in 1940.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54After waving the letter and the Munich moment and all that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- He died very quickly.- It was the end of his life, effectively.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Was only a few months after he ceased to be Prime Minister.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02He was shattered, was he?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Yes, effectively. He was ill anyway.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08But no doubt that hastened things.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK, Judith, your question.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13What derogatory term was used to refer to intellectual women
0:14:13 > 0:14:16of the mid-18th century?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I think that might be bluestockings.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Bluestockings is the right answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Phil, to catch up.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Of what did the children Elsie Wright
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and Francis Griffiths claim that they had taken a photograph in 1917?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43I'm fairly certain I can recall one story about people taking
0:14:43 > 0:14:47photographs of fairies in the bottom of their garden, so fairies.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Right answer, well done. I can recall that photo as well.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- It was all mocked up, wasn't it? - It was taken in Cottingley in Leeds.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Arthur Conan Doyle famously fell for it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01OK, Judith.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07In 1668 the Bawdy House Riots took place in which English city?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15London seems rather obvious. I think I'm going to say London nonetheless.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- What drew you to London? - Cos it's the main city.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Brilliant logic. You're right, it is London.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, Phil, you must get this one right.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31William Caxton's first printed book in English
0:15:31 > 0:15:34was a history of which city?
0:15:37 > 0:15:42I think this might be a hopeless guess, but I'm going to try Rome.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- See if any Eggheads know. Barry? - It's titled The Recoil Of Troy.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48The Recoil Of Troy.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Troy is the answer, sorry you got that one wrong.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Judith has gone through on History,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54which is her strongest subject, I must say.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56However, modest she appears on it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Phil you won't be in the final round and Judith will.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05The challengers have lost two brains,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09the Eggheads have lost one brain from that all important final round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11The last subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Is that a sigh of despair or joy? - Total despair.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'll go for it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Ruth, OK. Which Egghead?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'll go for Pat.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27OK, Ruth from Tapes Of Wrath against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Good luck, Ruth.- Thank you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's going to be Arts & Books. Three questions,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and you get to choose whether you take the first or second set.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45OK, Ruth, here we go. In the Shakespeare play Hamlet, who says,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49"Neither a borrower nor a lender be"?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I've never read Hamlet. I've never seen it on the stage, either.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm going to go for Polonius.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Nice job. You got it right.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Pat, who recounted his experiences in the Spanish Civil War
0:17:11 > 0:17:14in the book Homage To Catalonia?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I'm not sure that Arthur C Clarke or Kingsley Amis ever took up arms,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but that book was definitely by George Orwell.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31George Orwell is correct. One each. Back to you, Ruth.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The painter M F Hussein who died in 2011 was often referred
0:17:34 > 0:17:37to as the Picasso of which country?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm going to rule out India...
0:17:43 > 0:17:48cos the name sounds more like it would be linked with Egypt or Iran.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I'm going to go for Iran.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I can just imagine more chaotic paintings coming from Iran.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58The imagination is good, very good.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59It's the wrong answer.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Yes?- India.- Eggheads, India?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05But the logic was good there, wasn't it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Yes, it was, yes.- Looking for a kind of Arabic name.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Sorry, Ruth. India it was, you ruled out the right one.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Pat, your question. Cup Of Gold, published in 1929,
0:18:16 > 0:18:21was the first novel by which Nobel prize-winning author?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28All three authors there have won the Nobel.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Saul Bellow was alive in the '80s and '90s I think,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35so perhaps that's just slightly too early for him.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I think it might be a bit early for Ernest Hemingway,
0:18:38 > 0:18:39but this is all a bit dodgy.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'll go for John Steinbeck.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And you've got it right, it was Steinbeck, well done.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46He's taken the lead, which means you need this one, Ruth.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Which poet married Erica Mann, daughter of the German novelist
0:18:50 > 0:18:56Thomas Mann in the mid 1930s so that she could obtain a British passport?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm going to just plump for WH Auden.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You got it right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I'm better off just guessing as opposed to having educated guesses.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13You're plumping is going very well.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK, Pat, to take the round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Which writer's much quoted ode features the lines,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24"We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams?"
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I don't know the answer to this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I don't know much about the poetry of any of those chaps.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm reduced to just going for the one that I have definitely
0:19:40 > 0:19:44heard of as a poet and I'll go for William Carlos Williams.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's not William Carlos Williams it's Arthur O'Shaughnessy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50That means you are level after three questions,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53we go to sudden death. Again!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Ruth, a bit harder for you, I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Here's your first question.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02In 2010 which photographer made his debut as a sculptor
0:20:02 > 0:20:07with a first public show in London consisting of a selection of skulls?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I can't think of any famous photographers at all.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I can't even make a guess. I can't think of anyone.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Sorry.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- You want to pass?- Yes, pass. - OK, anybody here?- No.- No!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27They can't answer it either. Anyone on your team?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30David Bailey is the answer. David Bailey.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Pat, if you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39The 2011 novel Micro is a posthumous work based on writings
0:20:39 > 0:20:42left by which author who died in 2008?
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Micro has a sort of scientific slant to it.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I know that Michael Crichton died in the last few years
0:20:51 > 0:20:55and he had lots of books called Virus, Contact and Outbreak.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'll go for Michael Crichton, it's a complete guess.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Michael Crichton is the right answer. Sorry, Ruth.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05They were tough questions.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07There was a moment when I thought you were going to take
0:21:07 > 0:21:10him on the curve. You're not in the final, Pat is,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12please both of you rejoin your teams
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and we will play that final round.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17This is what we've been playing towards,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21it's time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:23 > 0:21:25won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29That means Phil, Ruth and Tracy from the Tapes Of Wrath
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and Barry from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Sue and Simon, you are playing to win The Tapes Of Wrath £8,000.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Pat, Judith, Kevin and Dave,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn, this time
0:21:47 > 0:21:50the questions are all general knowledge,
0:21:50 > 0:21:51you are allowed to confer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Sue and Simon, the question is, are your two brains
0:21:54 > 0:21:55better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Would you like the first set of questions or the second?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59We'll go first, please.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Best of luck to you and here we go.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07What is the name of the parlour game in which two blind-folded
0:22:07 > 0:22:10players attempt to hit each other with rolled up newspapers?
0:22:18 > 0:22:24- I've never heard of that, have you? - No. Party game, newspaper.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32I can only guess at Are You There, Holmes? What do you want me to say?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I'll go with you.- Yeah? Bit of a guess, it's Are you There, Holmes?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Anyone played this on the Egghead side?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Are You There, Moriarty?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Are You There, Moriarty? it is.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47All right, so Eggheads have a chance to take the lead
0:22:47 > 0:22:50at a very early stage of the final round.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Who was named president of the Royal Geographical Society in 2009?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Michael Palin.- Michael Palin.- Yeah.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06A great traveller, of course, done many series for the BBC,
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Michael Palin.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Michael Palin is the right answer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Your question, Tapes Of Wrath.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16What is the nickname of the boxer Carl Froch?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- I know this one, do you know? - You know it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I know it, yeah, it's The Cobra.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- The Cobra is the right answer.- Yes. - Well done.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Eggheads, your question.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Which medical pioneer married Francoise Gilot,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35a former mistress of the artist Picasso?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Jonas Salk was?- Polio.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Fleming died in the mid '50s.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Crick was quite long lived, so that's possible,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57and obviously he had gained a celebrity status because of the DNA.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- Yep, what about Jonas Salk?- Well, you know, polio vaccine.- American.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I don't know.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- I don't either. - I'd probably rule Fleming out.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11If I had to guess, I'd guess Crick.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Would you?- Yes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22- I think it's so unlikely an English person, a scientist, would marry someone like that.- Maybe.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26He became known as a writer and that sort of thing, as well.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I don't know it, but on balance I'd go for Crick,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33but it could be any of them.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37- Shall I go for that?- Yes.
0:24:37 > 0:24:43On balance, we'll try Francis Crick.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm just trying to see if Barry likes that answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49That's usually a bad sign. It's Jonas Salk.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Sorry, Barry.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Here we go with the third question. You get this right,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59they get theirs wrong, bang you've won. That's all you have to do.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05In 2010, Iveta Radicova became the first female
0:25:05 > 0:25:07prime minister of which country?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13First thoughts?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Radicova is more like Bulgarian,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Baltic sort of surname.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Baltic's, Slovenia, Slovakia...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Slovakia?- Slovakia.- Yeah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We'll go with Slovakia, just a guess.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Slovakia's the right answer. - Way!- Get in!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Who knows?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Who knows what might happen now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Eggheads, you get this wrong the contest is over.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Here is your question. Molokai is an island in which archipelago?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Just double check on the spelling, given the situation.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- It's M-O-L-O-K-A-I?- Yes, it is.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01That's one of the Hawaiian islands.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And you're all agreed on that?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Hawaii is the right answer.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Maybe it never was going to be that easy. So we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Bit harder for you, not multiple choice now.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Which England rugby player was fined over his behaviour
0:26:17 > 0:26:21in a dwarf-themed bar in New Zealand in 2011?
0:26:24 > 0:26:30I think it was...Ashton, erm...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33THEY CONFER
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I'm thinking Dean Ashton but I don't think it's Dean Ashton.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I can't think of his first name.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I've only got his second name, Ashton,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but I can't remember his first name.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You need the first name and the second name.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I've got to go with Dean Ashton.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It's not anyone Ashton.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54The answer is Mike Tindall.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Eggheads, if you get this right you are the winners.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Which singer, actor and songwriter
0:27:00 > 0:27:02was the second husband of Joan Collins?
0:27:05 > 0:27:11- Just think about it. - She got a few husbands.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I think I know, cos it's Tara Newley's the daughter...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18there was that Swedish geezer, that Peter Holm,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and she's married to Percy Gibson now...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- and then there was another one, Ron Kass...- Yes, that's right.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- So Anthony Newley...- Anthony Newley's the celebrity in there.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Can we have the question again?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Which singer, actor and songwriter
0:27:35 > 0:27:37was the second husband of Joan Collins?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Yes, Anthony Newley.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I'm loving the fact that the answer came from Tremendous Knowledge
0:27:42 > 0:27:46on the end there, who actually has the whole of Joan Collins'
0:27:46 > 0:27:49marital history in his mind. Dave, that's scary.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52No, it is a bit scary, actually I've scared myself with that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57The correct answer is Anthony Newly. So congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:57 > 0:27:58you have won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Commiserations, challengers, but you pushed them to the brink there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09We did, we gave it out best shot.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12And it was just the chance, if they'd got that one wrong...
0:28:12 > 0:28:13So, bad luck.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Thank you.- A historic show for us. I hope you enjoyed it, Dave.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Yes, I did, I enjoyed it very much.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You won your round, which is the key thing, the first round.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25they reign supreme over quiz land still,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £8,000
0:28:27 > 0:28:31which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
