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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 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 > 0:00:38Challenging our champions today are The Family Connection from Swansea.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Quizzing forms the backbone of what this family team like to do
0:00:41 > 0:00:45when they get together, be it down the pub, playing along with shows on the telly,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49or digging out the Trivial Pursuit at Christmas. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Jan. I'm 61 and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Mike. I'm 63 and I'm a retired auto electrician.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Dave. I'm 34 and I'm a graphic designer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Dawn. I'm 37 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 54 and I'm a compliance manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Jan and team, welcome to you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- Thank you.- And Family Connection because you're all family?- Yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Run me through the relationships. - My husband, Michael, son David,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- my daughter Dawn and my cousin Paul. - OK.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25So if it goes wrong here, there's going to be a family row!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yes.- On my head, yes.- Right.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And what do you think of facing this team in three dimensions, for once?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Is it scary?- Yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39It's scary when you see them on the television. Even more scary now!
0:01:39 > 0:01:45I wonder what it's like to see them in real life. I imagine it's traumatic!
0:01:45 > 0:01:51£1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55So I can tell you, Family Connection, that the Eggheads have won the last 11 games.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00So that means £12,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- So it was worth coming.- Definitely.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Who would like that?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I would like music, please, Jeremy. - A very decisive Dawn.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Who am I going to take on? - Against which Egghead?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- I think I'd like to take Chris, please.- Chris.- OK.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24Dawn from Family Connection versus Chris from the Eggheads. Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Dawn, I know you love your music. - Yes, I do.- You went to see Kasabian?
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Yes, that was the last gig I went to, in November. Absolutely brilliant.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So favourite bands? What do you like?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I love a bit of everything. I love the Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I like the old classics. Rolling Stones, Beatles, as well.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47X Factor and all that stuff, what do you think?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Fair play to them, but it's not my thing.- Chris, you probably agree? Britain's Got Talent? X Factor?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Nah, not my thing, really.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Let's see who comes out on top here.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Whoever answers the most questions goes into the final. The other person is knocked out.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- You know how it works.- Yes.- Dawn do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'll take the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Dave Arch and his orchestra are regulars on which TV programme?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Ooh, um...
0:03:24 > 0:03:29The Graham Norton Show usually has different bands playing live.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30What I can think of.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I'm not sure if I recall any bands on Dragons' Den.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38But I do know when I have watched Strictly Come Dancing,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40they do have an orchestra in the background.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46So I think, process of elimination, I'll go with Strictly Come Dancing,
0:03:46 > 0:03:47please, Jeremy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Brucie would be pleased! Quite right. It's Strictly.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54One point to Family Connection. OK, Chris.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Which Blur song contains the lyrics "City dweller, successful fella,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01"Thought to himself, 'Oops, I've got a lot of money.'"
0:04:05 > 0:04:08"City fella, got a lot of money, Bought himself a country house."
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Spot on. Country House. Well done.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Dawn, your question. "Sweet Home Alabama"
0:04:14 > 0:04:18was a 1976 hit for which band?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I love this song. I do know it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I'm not sure which band it is,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35so I'm going to try and do a process of elimination again.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41I don't think it's The Moody Blues, so I'll take that one out straightaway.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Um, I think I'm going to choose Jefferson Airplane.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Oh, you got it wrong.- I wasn't sure. - It was that amazing guitar riff.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It's Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'm never sure how to pronounce it. Is it "Leonard"?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The man was Leonard Skynyrd, but they pronounce it "Linnard".
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- He was a riposte to Neil Young's song, Southern Man.- That's right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08He mentioned Neil Young in the song, rebutting him
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- and singing the praises of Alabama. - You're right. OK.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14There's a bit of rock history from Pat, Dawn. Sorry, you got it wrong.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Chris,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Who was the first X Factor winner to have a Christmas number one single in the UK?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Dumpy-dumpy-dumpy-dum!
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Surely that was That's My Goal by Shane Ward?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Where did that come from? - Left-field, somewhere!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I thought you wouldn't even be on the pitch with that one!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Quite right. Shane Ward. That's My Goal.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Dawn, you need this one. What sort of music would you like to come up here?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Ideally speaking?- Something I know the answer to!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Something by Kasabian. - Something by anything I know!
0:05:50 > 0:05:55OK. Shostakovich's 12th Symphony
0:05:55 > 0:05:57subtitled The Year 1917,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00was dedicated to which political figure?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm not sure.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I was going to say I was going to go for the Russian,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11but I can't narrow it down.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19I'll go with the Judas and go down the right and say Stalin, please.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21What do your team mates think?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- We're thinking Lenin.- Yes, Lenin. - Yes, it was Lenin.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- So, I'm sorry.- OK.- Chris has knocked you out on Music.- I know.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- I'll never live it down! - Kasabian trumps the Shostakovich!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Of course! Every time!- Exactly.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Chris, you'll be in the final. Dawn, you won't.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43As it stands, the challengers have lost a brain.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The Eggheads haven't. But it's very early days. The next subject is Politics.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Who would like this one?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- I'll take it.- Do you want to take it?- I'll have a go.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- OK, Mike.- I'll have a go. - Who do you fancy over there,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59in a manner of speaking?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Go for Barry, I would, but...
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Barry? All right?- Yes, yes. - Barry, please.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08OK. Mike from Family Connection versus Barry.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10To ensure no conferring, go to the Question Room.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18- We haven't mentioned golf, Mike. - No, Jeremy, I tend to bore people with golf.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'm such a fanatic with it. I love the game.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So you play twice a week or something?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Yes, twice a week, regular.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I've got a good bunch of friends I play with.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And I play with my wife as well.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33On the golf course, of course!
0:07:33 > 0:07:38And we've won a couple of competitions together.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And a couple of mixed opens, which we play regular.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46And the Ball and Chain, which is, as it states, ball and chain.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47My wife is with me when I play them.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50OK. I don't know how it'll help with politics, but let's see.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Three questions on politics. Mike, first or second set?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Here's your first question. Good luck, Mike.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04What word, from the French meaning "desk"
0:08:04 > 0:08:06is used for a political official?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Desk. Bureaucrat? Executive?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Alderman?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I think I'll go for bureaucrat.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Well done. Bureaucrat is, of course, correct. Bureau is desk.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Barry,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28what title is given to a government minister
0:08:28 > 0:08:30who's not appointed to any specific department?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think I might like to see a few ministers without passport!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42But I believe the answer is Minister without Portfolio.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Minister without Portfolio is quite right.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Mike,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51which country house was the home of the prime minister, Lord Rosebery,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and later headquarters for the Natural Law Party?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Dorneywood? Um...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I've never heard of that, to be honest. Let's have a think here.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I'll try Dorneywood, please.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13That's the wrong answer. The answer is Mentmore Towers.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- OK.- Not Dorneywood.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Barry,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20what name is given to the introductory statement to the US Constitution
0:09:20 > 0:09:23which describes its basic principles?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Ah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Normally an introduction is the prologue, but I believe this is the prelude.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- It's preamble.- Oh!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41OK. So he's let you back in, Mike, it's one point each still.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Your third question. In 2011, which politician, the governor of Texas,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48forgot his own policies in a television debate?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Now, then. Um...
0:09:54 > 0:09:59I've seen some of this on the telly, but whether it's the same bloke or not, I don't know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Mitt Romney, is it, I think I'll pick.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's actually wrong, Mike.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It's a fellow called Rick Perry.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So, if you get this right, Barry, you take the round.
0:10:12 > 0:10:19Olafur Ragnar Grimsson became president of which country in 1996?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's a fine Scandinavian name
0:10:24 > 0:10:28and you've given me three fine Scandinavian countries to choose from!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Icelandic names, if they're male, always end in "-son".
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And if they're female, they always end in "-dottir".
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So on that basis alone, because it ends in -"son" I will say Iceland.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Iceland is the right answer, Barry. Well done!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So you've come through triumphant!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46After a couple of difficult games.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Sorry, Mike, you've been knocked out. Please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56So, the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. On we go.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Who'd like this?- Ooh.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08That's an interesting noise of despair, slightly!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- What do you reckon?- I don't know.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- How are you on books? - I'll have a go.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Paul wants to go.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- You want to go?- Paul?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Paul against which Egghead? Who would you like? Daphne, Dave or Pat?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Pat.- Pat?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Yeah, OK.- Yeah, Pat.- So it's going to be Paul from Family Connection
0:11:29 > 0:11:33against Pat from the Eggheads. To ensure no conferring,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35please go to the Question Room.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39OK, Paul, let's see if you can take an Egghead down.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Paul, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Here's your first question.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54What is the usual subject of a life drawing?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I don't think it's an ocean.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And I recall knowing somebody
0:12:04 > 0:12:08who posed for life drawings.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11So on that
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I would say it would be a nude figure.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Nude figure is the right answer.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19When you say, "I recall knowing somebody who posed,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- is sounded like it might be you! - I couldn't comment, Jeremy!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Times were hard when I was a youngster!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Here's your question, Pat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Which novel opens with the line
0:12:31 > 0:12:35"The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow
0:12:35 > 0:12:38"with a pond of clear water in it."
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It doesn't remind me of Winnie-the-Pooh.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm not sure I can recall the first line, but I don't think that's it.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The Call of the Wild is a bit more bleak.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I would fancy that Black Beauty would spend her time in a meadow.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I think I'll have to go for Black Beauty.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Black Beauty is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK. Over to you, Paul.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06What name is given to the genre of literature
0:13:06 > 0:13:10which often uses an alternative Victorian setting
0:13:10 > 0:13:13combined with elements of science fiction or fantasy?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24The answer is I don't know.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I was drawn to Neo-Gothic.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But I can't recall that with science fiction.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37So I'm going to go, following Dawn, straight down the middle, Steampunk.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Steampunk is your answer. Has he got it right, team?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Yes, you have got it right! Well done!- Well done, Paul!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46All right. Over to you, Pat.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Which singer's death features in the title of a play by Edward Albee?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Edward Albee.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02He's mainly known for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I'm not sure how Bessie Smith died.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Whether it was from natural causes or her life on the road.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday burnt out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Billie Holiday, I think, just had a semi-tragic life
0:14:21 > 0:14:25and faded away with poor health
0:14:25 > 0:14:26caused by her lifestyle.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31It's a toss-up between Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin. I'll say Billie Holiday,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33but it's just a guess.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Interesting, OK. Billie Holiday.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You're wrong. It's Bessie Smith, actually, the one you ruled out.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40The play is called The Death of Bessie Smith,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42by Edward Albee.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So, this is interesting.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Paul, if you get this one right, you've gone through.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52In the 1870s, which artist was a teacher in Ramsgate and Isleworth?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Well, I'm thinking about Van Gogh
0:15:01 > 0:15:04and what I know about Van Gogh.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I can't remember any connection with him
0:15:06 > 0:15:10with this country, really.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Um, I don't know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15As I say, I don't think it was Van Gogh
0:15:15 > 0:15:19so that's going to leave me with Cezanne.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21That's my answer, Cezanne.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- It's wrong. It's Van Gogh. - Ah, terrible!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Pat, you get this wrong, you're out.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30"Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lads!"
0:15:30 > 0:15:32is a ghost story by which writer?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Um, my first instinct is MR James.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I think he specialised in short stories and he was very celebrated
0:15:47 > 0:15:49for spooky short stories.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Sheridan Le Fanu was a good deal earlier.
0:15:52 > 0:16:00HP Lovecraft is an American chap with a very oblique fantasy angle to his material.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think it's MR James.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Is he right, Daphne?- Yes. - You were egging him on.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07He can't see you, of course!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Yes, you're right. MR James it is.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11So we go to Sudden Death.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Paul, it gets a bit harder. Not multiple choice now.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- You have to give me the answer. Ready?- Yep.- Here's your first question.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23"Yay, slimy things did crawl with legs upon the slimy sea",
0:16:23 > 0:16:27is a quotation from which 18th-century poem?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33The only thing that comes to mind there would be...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36The only thing I can think of that's got something to do with the sea
0:16:36 > 0:16:38would be The Ancient Mariner.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Is that your answer?- That's all I could think of, Jeremy.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Spot on, Paul. Well done.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Absolutely right. Good play.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK. Pat under pressure now. Get this wrong, you're out, Pat.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57Mary Yelland is the main character in which Daphne du Maurier novel?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59What did she write?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Rebecca. The main character there is...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Jamaica Inn. The Birds.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08The Birds. Hmm.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I'm not sure. I think I'll have to go for The Birds.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's funny because you said the right answer and then moved off it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It's Jamaica Inn.- Ah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So, what about that? Well done, Paul.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26On Sudden Death you take the Egghead apart. Pat, you won't be in the final round.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Please both come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36The challengers have lost two brains. But the Eggheads have now lost Pat from the final round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And the last subject before that final is Geography.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Who would like this?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Who's travelled?- I'll do it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- It's you, isn't it?- I'll go for it. - David will go for it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50If you want me to go for it, I'll go for it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Cos Paul is here as well. - It's up to you.- I'll go.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I'll go for it. - David wants to go for it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02David is doing Geography. Against which Egghead? It can be Dave or Daphne.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Ooh!
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Daphne's smiling sweetly as if she wants to come on!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Do you want to play this, Daphne?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- I'll go for Daphne.- Right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15How about that? Dave, you escaped being chosen.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- That's...- It's unusual, isn't it? - Yes, it is. People like to see what you're made of at the moment.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Anyway, it's Dave from Family Connection versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:29 > 0:18:36- Dave, a sense that a lot's riding on this.- Yes, a bit of pressure, but...- Against Daphne
0:18:36 > 0:18:39on Geography. Three questions. First or second set?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'll go second, for a change.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Daphne, your first question.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49The US research station at the geographic South Pole
0:18:49 > 0:18:54is named after Amundsen and which other explorer?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I think that's Captain Scott.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Scott of the Antarctic is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Dave, back to you.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The winged lion of San Marco
0:19:09 > 0:19:12is a famous symbol of which Italian city?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well, I haven't been to any of them.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Doesn't help.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Um... I think I'll go for Turin.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Anyone on this side?- Venice. - Venice it is.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Venice it is.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Your second question, Daphne.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Which is the largest land-locked country in the world?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I think...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I think it's Kazakhstan.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Kazakhstan is correct.- Oh, good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- OK, Dave. Your question. She's put you under pressure here.- Yes.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- If you get this one wrong, I'm afraid it will be curtains.- OK.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02What type of geographical feature are the Buttertubs in the Yorkshire Dales?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Again, it's not a term I'm familiar with.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Purely cos you can stack them, I'll go for stacks.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's a tricky one, this. It's potholes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- OK.- Dave, I'm sorry.- OK.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29You've been knocked out by Daphne
0:20:29 > 0:20:32who got two points out of three. There's no way back.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34So you won't be in the final. Daphne will be.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Please both come back and we will play the final round.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round. So,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Mike, Dave and Dawn from the Family Connection
0:20:53 > 0:20:57and Pat from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- So we've got the cousins, now. - Yes.- Your parents are siblings?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Correct?- Yes, fathers, two brothers. - Two brothers. OK.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You're playing to win the Family Connection £12,000.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry are playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22The questions are all general knowledge. You're allowed to confer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25So, Family Connection, the question is are your two brains
0:21:25 > 0:21:28better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- Would you like to go first or second?- You choose. You're captain. - First?- Yeah.- First, please.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Here we go. Good luck. What humorous name is given to a senior citizen
0:21:41 > 0:21:43who uses the internet?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53It's definitely not white webber. I've never heard of that. Have you?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Silver surfer.- And it's definitely not nanny netter.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Though it sounds very good, cos it's the net.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- But silver surfer. We're... - We've heard of silver surfer.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Silver surfer is right answer. Well done.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Eggheads, over to you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12The word "wanderlust", meaning a desire to travel, comes from which language?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17CONFER QUIETLY
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- All happy with German?- Yes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24We've had a discussion and we believe the answer's German.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27German is the right answer. Wanderlust!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28SPEAKS GERMAN
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK. Here's your second question.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36What was Conway Twitty's only UK number one single?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I know Glen Campbell covered It's Only Make Believe.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- That's how I first got into that song.- Yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52He was more of a ballad singer, so I don't think It's Only Rock and Roll.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55No. I think that came later as well.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And It's Only Love, I don't think I've even heard of that.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- It's Only Make Believe. - Yeah, shall we go with that?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Jeremy, It's Only Make Believe is our answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- It's Only Make Believe is the right answer. Well done.- Thank you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10OK. So you're in the lead. Let's see where this goes.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Eggheads, see if there's a bit of dissension, a bit of argument.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18The French physician and astrologer known as Nostradamus
0:23:18 > 0:23:20was born in which century?
0:23:22 > 0:23:2416th.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25ALL AGREE
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Yep, we believe that to be the 16th century.
0:23:31 > 0:23:3316th century is correct. Well done. Two each.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38£12,000 up for grabs. All on the third question now.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Which novelist married Alexander McCorquodale in 1927
0:23:42 > 0:23:47and, after her divorce, his cousin Hugh in 1936?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I don't think it was Catherine Cookson,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59because she was... There was that film where she was ill,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01and she and her husband had been married for years.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Agatha Christie. I think it was Barbara Cartland.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11The thing I'm thinking with Barbara Cartland is the surname McCorquodale is aristocratic.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- Yeah.- That's where I go with Barbara Cartland.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I think she's been married twice. - Yes.- I'll leave it you, Captain.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Barbara Cartland I'd go with.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25But like I say, it's a matter for you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I'm thinking of the dates as well.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- It would be her era as well, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Yes, we'll go with Barbara Cartland, Jeremy.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36A sure-footed performance. Right again.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Is it Barbara Cartland.- Well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Interesting. You've got three out of three.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45You could not have asked more of yourselves.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49It's now down to the Eggheads to blow it and give them £12,000 by getting this wrong.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Let's see if you do. Who wrote the screenplays for the films
0:24:54 > 0:25:01Million Dollar Baby and Crash, both of which won Best Picture Academy Awards.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09QUIET CONFERRING
0:25:18 > 0:25:20The other two don't ring any bells.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24It's not a million dollar question, but it's a £12,000 question.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30Um, we're going to go with, after discussion, Paul Haggis.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32The correct answer is Paul Haggis.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Good work, team.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You so nearly took them.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40OK. Sudden Death. It's three-three.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You did really well there. Just keep the pressure on.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Bit harder now. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Which American manufacturer and aviator produced more than 20 films
0:25:49 > 0:25:52including Hell's Angels in 1930
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and Scarface in 1932?
0:25:56 > 0:26:02- Howard Hughes?- That's the only one I can think of.- He was an aviator as well.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Yes, and he made films. That's the only one I can think of.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11We both agree. The only one we can think of is Howard Hughes.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Howard Hughes is correct.- Thank you!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's see what happens now.
0:26:16 > 0:26:23Eggheads, who played Henry Higgins opposite Kara Tointon's Eliza
0:26:23 > 0:26:26when the 2011 West End production of Pygmalion opened?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Right. Recently.
0:26:28 > 0:26:322011. Henry Higgins.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Opposite Kara Tointon, the Strictly Come Dancing woman.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39In 2011.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Let's have a think.- Someone with a very English accent, I would think.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Who's been recently doing things?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Benedict Cumberbatch?- No. - No, it wouldn't be him.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I think it's somebody older.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Yes.- Oh, I can't think of anybody.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I can't think of anybody in Pygmalion.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- No.- Um, let's have a think.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Oh, dear!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I can't even see in my mind who it's likely to be.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Or that I could throw in.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Jeremy Irons?- I need an answer, Eggheads.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Jeremy Irons? - What about Tommy Steele?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21No, he must be 80-odd now.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It could be Jeremy Irons.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27It's something. I haven't got a clue.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30OK, we'll go with that. We haven't got a clue.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- But we'll go with Jeremy Irons. - Your answer is Jeremy Irons.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I wonder if you know the answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39We would have guessed Robert Lindsay, out of the ether.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- We wouldn't know.- You're both wrong. The answer is Rupert Everett.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Congratulations, challengers, you've won!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53That was really great play. You did not fluke it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56You kept the pressure on. A lot of people wouldn't get Howard Hughes.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- You really played well, didn't they? - Good play. Excellent.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Well done.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06With Howard Hughes, my mother used to take me to black and white films when I was small.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Black and white films I'm OK with. Paul knew who it was as well.- Sure.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And checking out back, Pat, did you know it was Rupert Everett?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- I didn't know Rupert Everett, no. - So a completely clean sheet there.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23- OK. You've won £12,000. How about that?- Excellent. Well done. - Thank you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You've beaten the Eggheads. You're cleverer than the team here.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30You've proved they can be beaten. Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:30 > 0:28:34to see if a new team of challengers can do what Family Connection did
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and give us all a thrill. Until then, goodbye.
