0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain,
0:00:30 > 0:00:31they are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Taking on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team of friends and colleagues regularly quiz together
0:00:38 > 0:00:41at the Lounge Pub in Plymouth. Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 31 years old and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Henry, I'm 27 and I am a criminology lecturer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Maria, I'm 27 and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 42 and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Scott, I'm 35 and an events manager.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Welcome, Quiz Bang Wallop.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02You all quiz together, so that's a good sign.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04You know each other's strengths and weaknesses.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Presumably you have studied
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- the Eggheads' strengths and weaknesses?- Definitely.- Oh, yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Do you think they have any? I mean weaknesses?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Few and far between.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It is always a bit of a gamble, probably.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16But we think we could find a few chinks in the armour.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Let's play the game.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:20 > 0:01:23up for grabs for our challengers, however, if they fail to defeat
0:01:23 > 0:01:27the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So, they have won the last 17 games
0:01:29 > 0:01:32which means £18,000 says that
0:01:32 > 0:01:35you can't beat them today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I like that rubbing of the hands. Let's start with our first
0:01:38 > 0:01:40head-to-head on Film and Television.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Anyone of you can play. - OK, I think it was Scott.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- I'll do that, then.- Yes. I think we will play Scott on that one, please.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- OK, Scott, which Egghead do you want to take on?- Shall we try Chris?
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- Yep.- We will go with Chris.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56OK. Scott taking on Chris, then, on Film and Television.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Let's have you both into the question room, please.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02OK, then, Scott, Film and TV.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05I would like to go first, please.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Your question.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Who played the lawyer Billy Flynn in the 2002 musical film Chicago?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22OK, I've not seen this film, but I saw some trailers.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm pretty sure, I seem to recall seeing Richard Gere's
0:02:25 > 0:02:28face on the poster, so I will plump for Richard Gere, please.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK, from the poster, but not the film itself.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35But it's the right answer. Richard Gere played Billy Flynn in Chicago.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Chris, Ken Morley played which character in Coronation Street
0:02:40 > 0:02:42between 1989 and 1995?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Ken Morley always plays himself anyway,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52he was a bit of a caricature, but he was Reg Holdsworth.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Yes, he was, that's right. One apiece. Straight back to Scott.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise first starred together in which film?
0:03:06 > 0:03:12OK, I think they were together in all of those films.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Eyes Wide Shut I think came later when they were a couple.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I think it is Days of Thunder.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Yes, it's the right answer. Well done. Two for you, then, Scott.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Chris, who starred as Susan opposite Cary Grant in the 1938
0:03:27 > 0:03:30screwball comedy film Bringing Up Baby?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Well, in '38, Sophia Loren and Deborah Kerr were far too young.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It was Katharine Hepburn.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yes. The right answer. It is correct.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And the notable thing about the baby in the title?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- It was a leopard, I think. - That's right.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52OK, it is 2-2.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Scott's going well. Third question.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59The British actress Emma Samms played which character in the US
0:03:59 > 0:04:01soaps Dynasty and The Colbys?
0:04:03 > 0:04:09Right. It's not really a programme I watched a lot of.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14So, it will have to be a bit of a guess.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I always think you should go with the first thing that comes
0:04:16 > 0:04:21into your mind, and for some reason my mind is telling me Fallon.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- So, I'm going to go for Fallon.- OK.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27That kind of subliminal memory.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28It's the right answer. Fallon.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Emma Samms as Fallon.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Right, you have the lead,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and one foot in the final round.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Chris can prevent that with a correct answer.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Which actor took on the role of Jack Halford
0:04:41 > 0:04:45in the TV drama series New Tricks, when it started in 2003?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50They're all in it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I tend to think of them
0:04:52 > 0:04:55by their actor's names rather than their character's names.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56So I have to take one from three.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I think that is James Bolam.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's the right one, yes. Well remembered.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The ex-Likely Lad.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, we go to sudden death, Scott.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14That means you don't see any more choices.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Who played a character called the Ringo Kid in the 1939 film,
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Stagecoach?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Well, 1939 is a bit before my time.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30I can't recall seeing or having even heard of this film.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I am trying to pull out a name, really.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Yul Brenner? Is it Brenner? I'm really not sure. Yul Brenner.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yul Brynner. It's not the right answer. Do you know, Chris?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yes, it was about the first major appearance by John Wayne.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48John Wayne, the Duke.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It doesn't matter , it doesn't win you the game.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53That was Scott's question. This will if you give me a correct answer.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Who played James Bond in the film Never Say Never Again?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Yes, Connery said he would never play Bond again
0:06:01 > 0:06:02after whatever his last one was.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And they coaxed him back for Never Say Never Again.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So it was Sean Connery.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Sean Connery? Back as Bond.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11It's the right answer, Chris.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16You have won the round. Scott did very well but failed at that hurdle
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and it means you will not play in the final round.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Please both come back and join your teams.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Close, Scott, but didn't quite make it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It means your team has lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The Eggheads are all still there. Our second one today is Music.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34A lot of you will want to play this,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36but only one of you can do it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Music.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I think that's you, Mike. Yes.- Yes. - That's going to be me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45All right, Mike. Choose an Egghead, anyone apart from Chris.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I think you might be going for Judith, in this round.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- I think I will.- OK.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Mike, Judith, let's have you both into the question room, please.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Mike, you're in a band, what do you play?- I'm a drummer.- With Scott?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yes, he writes most of the songs. He's the guitarist.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06And I make some noise in the background and hope it sounds good.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I am sure that's not the case.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10What's it called and what type of music do you play?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14We are called The Lukins, and we are quite sort of big riffs, big rock
0:07:14 > 0:07:17sound, but we have a female singer which gives it a pop edge,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20which makes it I think a little bit different, and more fun.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Why the Lukins? Any reason?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The band started off as just me and Scott,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and we are both big Pearl Jam fans.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's a reference to a song by Pearl Jam.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30OK, best of luck.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32In this music round, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I will go first, please.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39OK. First question.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Which singer performed opposite Peter Kay as Geraldine McQueen,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48for a 2011 Comic Relief version of the song I Know Him So Well.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I remember the TV show that it came from and I can picture
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Geraldine, but for some reason I thought she did it by herself.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03So it will be guesswork. I am pretty sure it wasn't Cheryl Cole.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Not really her style, that sort of comedy.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Susan Boyle seems almost too obvious for my liking.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I know I'll regret saying that in 30 seconds' time.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19But I am going to go with Leona Lewis.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Leona Lewis. OK, I am just waiting 30 seconds.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's Susan Boyle.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Not quite the 30.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- You were thinking that, weren't you?- Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, Judith, a chance for the lead.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33In which year was Michael Jackson's album
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Off The Wall originally released?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I think that was 1989.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47OK, 1989 for Off The Wall.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Off the bar for you. Not the right answer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- '79.- I knew it would be.- So, no harm done, Mike. It stays all square.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The second question.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59"There is no love song finer,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01"but how strange the change from major to minor,"
0:09:01 > 0:09:04are lines from which song by Cole Porter?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Cole Porter's not an area of expertise
0:09:11 > 0:09:13so I will take this from a poetic angle, being an English teacher.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So I'm trying to think of the themes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, it seems a bit positive for that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So we'll go with one of the two others.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'm going to go with You're The Top.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I'm sorry, it's wrong. It is Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Every one you pick on and reject first has
0:09:32 > 0:09:35so far been the right answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, Judith, your question.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Blue Savannah and Drama where UK hit singles for which act?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Duran Duran.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I don't know.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54CJ was giving you so much positive energy there,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so many positive thoughts.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- And it is, CJ?- Erasure.- Erasure.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So it's low scoring,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03but intriguing nevertheless.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07One right answer might just win the round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Let's see if it comes from you, Mike.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Tonight I Celebrate My Love was a 1983
0:10:13 > 0:10:19UK top ten single for Peabo Bryson and which female singer?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Again, absolutely no idea.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I wish I'd said number two at the beginning
0:10:27 > 0:10:31because I knew all the other questions, so far.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35My gut reaction says no to Diana Ross, that's probably correct,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36but I am going to stick with my gut.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It normally does me quite well, not today, though.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I am going to say Linda Ronstadt.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46OK, well, it's not Diana Ross, but it is Roberta Flack. Oh, dear.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50That instinct has been letting you down.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53As you say, you've known all of Judith's, and she hasn't.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I've known all of his, though!
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- It would have been exactly the same situation! - I wish he had said he'd be second.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03OK, well, I can't compute what might have happened.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06What is happening is that you can win the round
0:11:06 > 0:11:08if you give me a correct answer here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Who wrote the music for the musical Fiddler On The Roof?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Oh, I don't know!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Um, Jerry Bock.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- It's the right answer.- Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I feel embarrassed.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, for five minutes I'll be embarrassed.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Mike, bad luck, that was such an entertaining round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It was, it was really good fun!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37And you were really, really unlucky in the way the questions fell.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Anyway, let's have you both back, it means Judith's in the final round.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Well, Judith's still apologising.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I do, I feel very embarrassed. By default, I won.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51As it stands, Quiz Bang Wallop
0:11:51 > 0:11:54have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56The Eggheads are all still intact.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Two more head-to-heads to come, our next one is Arts and Books.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We've still got two English teachers intact there,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Maria or Chris. Henry could play it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Let's do it, I think we should.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- It's going to be me, Dermot. - OK, Chris.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Remember, Judith and Chris have played already,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15so it's Daphne, CJ, or Kevin.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21- CJ is good at that, isn't he? Daphne or Kevin?- Yes.- Go with Daphne, then.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Daphne.- Daphne, OK. It's Chris and Daphne, then.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Heading for the Question Room, please.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Well, Chris, I'm told you're an exceptionally keen quizzer,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34so you must be delighted to be testing yourself
0:12:34 > 0:12:36against someone of the calibre of Daphne.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Absolutely, yeah. It's an honour.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- It's an honour for you, isn't it, Daphne, as well?- Of course.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK, well, here we go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Do you want to go first or second, Chris?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Um, I'll go first.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53First question for you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Which novel features seemingly perfect women
0:12:55 > 0:12:58who turn out to be computerised models
0:12:58 > 0:13:00created to serve their husbands?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, The Tommyknockers, I think, is a Stephen King story, and a film.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11The Witches of Eastwick, I haven't read it, but I've seen the film.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I believe the answer to this one is The Stepford Wives.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Stepford Wives, yeah. It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19And your first question, Daphne.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22In the Seven Ages Of Man speech from Shakespeare's As You Like It,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24what is the third age?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31It's not the schoolboy, he's the first.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34I think it's the soldier.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I wonder what do you think, Chris, as an English teacher?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well, the first one is the infant,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42mewling and puking in his mother's arms.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I think the schoolboy is the second, so it's the lover who's third.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Lover. Yes, well there we are. - I forgot the infant!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Chris knew that as well, can't make it 2-0, Chris, I'm afraid,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57but this will make it 2-0 if you get this one right.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Who illustrated The Boy In The Dress,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01a children's book by David Walliams?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well, I have only heard of two of those.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Raymond Briggs did The Snowman.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Quentin Blake, I can picture the pictures
0:14:14 > 0:14:15but I can't remember what he drew.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18So this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'll go with Quentin Blake,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22because I think he did a lot of children's books.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25OK, Quentin Blake, collaborating there with David Walliams,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27is correct.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You have that lead.
0:14:29 > 0:14:332-0 and Daphne goes out if she gets another one wrong.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Daphne, which poet coined the word "pandemonium"
0:14:37 > 0:14:39as the name for the capital of hell?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44John Milton.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yeah, that's right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Chris, you go through if you give me a correct answer here.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Who was the first American writer to be honoured with a bust
0:14:53 > 0:14:56in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Well, I have been to Westminster Abbey, but it's a long time ago
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and I can't remember seeing any of those.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Edgar Allen Poe is a writer of Gothic horror.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Don't know.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Longfellow, that was Hiawatha, if I remember correctly.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And Walt Whitman, the poet...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's going to have to be a guess.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Walt Whitman.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Walt Whitman for a place in the final round.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28No, it's not.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's Longfellow.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31OK.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35A chance to redeem yourself, here, Daphne.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Pallas and the Centaur
0:15:37 > 0:15:40is a 15th-century painting by which artist?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Um, a guess again, I'm afraid. Um...
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Raphael.- Other Eggheads, do you think she's right?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I don't know this one.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56On the basis that Botticelli was around for more of the 15th century,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'd properly have gone for him.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00OK, tending more towards...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02what is the right answer,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Botticelli.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Ah-ha!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well, bad luck, Daphne.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I said before it all started, Chris, you pitted yourself against
0:16:11 > 0:16:14the creme de la creme and you've come off on top.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well done. Chris, you're in the final round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, that's better for Quiz Bang Wallop.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24As it stands, the Eggheads have lost
0:16:24 > 0:16:29one brain from the final round, but Quiz Bang Wallop have lost two.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Our last head-to-head before the final round is History.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Who'd like to play this? Henry or Maria?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Me?- This is clearly Henry.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Who shall I take on?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- You have got Kevin or CJ to choose from?- That's tough.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'd be tempted to go for CJ.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Yes.- Yeah, I think so.- Yeah?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'll take on CJ.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51All right. It's going to be Henry and CJ battling this one out.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Well, Henry, a great chance, as you know, to even this up
0:16:58 > 0:17:00for Quiz Bang Wallop in the final round.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I think I'll stick with what the rest of my team have done
0:17:05 > 0:17:06and I'll go first, please.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12OK, Henry. Best of luck. Your first question is this.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15In the ancient Roman calendar, the Ides of March
0:17:15 > 0:17:16referred to what date in March?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Ah. The Ides of March. Um...
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Made famous by Shakespeare for some reason
0:17:26 > 0:17:29which I'm sure someone on my team can explain, but I certainly can't.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I don't really know this, Dermot.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I've just got a feeling maybe it's the 5th.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- I don't know why but I'm going to go for the 5th.- OK.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Partly a literary question, as Henry illuminated for us.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- The 5th, Ides of March?- It's the 15th.- It's the 15th from Chris there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49The 15th, the Ides of March. OK. CJ, first question for you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54In 1825, the inventor and engineer Marc Isambard Brunel
0:17:54 > 0:17:56started work on a major commission
0:17:56 > 0:17:58to build a tunnel underneath which river?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I've never heard of any major tunnel constructions
0:18:05 > 0:18:07about that time for the Tyne.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Could have been the Mersey,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14but there have been several attempts to do a tunnel under the Thames
0:18:14 > 0:18:16and certainly that early,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and London would have been the most important of those three centres
0:18:19 > 0:18:20at the time so I'll try the Thames.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You'll try the Thames and Chris nodding sagely there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It is the right answer, I can confirm.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Just to clear up for people, this Marc Isambard Brunel presumably
0:18:30 > 0:18:32the dad of the more famous one.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Yeah. Father of IKB.- IKB?! Is that how you know him, is it?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK, well, playing catch-up, Henry.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Here you go. Spring and Autumn Period
0:18:41 > 0:18:44is the English name given to a stage in the history of which country?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Well, the only one I know a little bit about is Russian history,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54so I don't believe it's Russian history.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm going to go for China.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00China, OK.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02And it is the right answer. Yes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Keeping yourself in the game,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06in with a chance.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10CJ, the 1957 Eisenhower Doctrine was a US declaration
0:19:10 > 0:19:13specifically designed to protect which area of the world
0:19:13 > 0:19:15against Communist aggression?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21That's interesting. I don't think I've come across this.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Hmmm. I mean, Central America...
0:19:23 > 0:19:28could have been covered by the Munroe Doctrine but...
0:19:28 > 0:19:34certainly that was an area targeted by Communists in the '50s and '60s.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I'd be surprised if it was the Middle East for Communist threat.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And the same for South Africa.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46But Central America was certainly a target for Communists
0:19:46 > 0:19:49around that time, so I'll try Central America.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52That's what I would have gone for, but it's not the right answer. No.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It's the Middle East, the Eisenhower Doctrine.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, you're well back in it, then, Henry.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's all square, and your third question.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Who commanded the relief force that set out in 1884
0:20:04 > 0:20:07to relieve the besieged General Gordon at Khartoum?
0:20:12 > 0:20:18Erm, the only one I think I've heard of really is Field Marshal Roberts.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23And I think he had something to do with Egyptian campaigns.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I think it was Field Marshal Roberts who famously said,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31"Give me a tee-total army and I will lead it anywhere."
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I think he was promoting sobriety amongst his troops in Egypt.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So I think Field Marshal Roberts.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40OK, Field Marshal Roberts...
0:20:40 > 0:20:44it's not. It's not Roberts. It was Gen Wolseley.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47And that means a chance for CJ
0:20:47 > 0:20:48to win the round with this.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Which Chinese dynasty was directly
0:20:51 > 0:20:55succeeded by the Ming Dynasty in 1368?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I don't know when the Jin is. I think the Yuan...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04is around that time.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Or is that later?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I'm ruling out the Qing, cos I think that's earlier.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16There's something telling me that the Yuan is actually slightly later
0:21:16 > 0:21:17and the Jin is earlier.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23So, as you've probably guessed, I'm not at all sure on this.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I think the Qing is earlier, the Yuan is later, so I'll try the Jin.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30The Jin. Is he right, Eggheads?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32No, Yuan.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's Yuan, not the Jin. You were going for that...
0:21:35 > 0:21:38If it was instant response, you would have gone for that.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well, it's all square. You live to fight another day, Henry.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45But fighting in Sudden Death now. No choices for you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49What was the name of the aeroplane in which Charles Lindbergh
0:21:49 > 0:21:55made his historic solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I really don't know this one at all.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Er, I'm just going to have to come up with a guess or something.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic. I don't know.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The Lindy Hop. It's a stupid guess.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- I don't know. That's my answer.- No, always have a guess. I like that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19The dance then followed the feet.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's a good link, but it's not the right answer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26That's a very good guess. It's not correct. Do you know, CJ?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- It's the Spirit of St Louis. - The Spirit of St Louis
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and then they started jitterbugging and Lindy Hopping as a result.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Bad luck, Henry. OK.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38CJ, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Which 5th-century historical figure
0:22:40 > 0:22:43ruled his empire with his brother, Bleda, and then alone
0:22:43 > 0:22:47after supposedly having him murdered?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Which 5th-century historical figure
0:22:49 > 0:22:53ruled his empire with his brother, Bleda. B-L-E-D-A,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57and then alone after supposedly having him murdered?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It's Attila the Hun.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It's the right answer, yes. Attila the Hun.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Which means you have just
0:23:04 > 0:23:07sneaked into the final round, CJ.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Bad luck, Henry. Bad luck with that Lindy Hop one.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Come back and join your teams.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So, this is what we've been playing towards, it's time now
0:23:19 > 0:23:21for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:24 > 0:23:27won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29So Mike, Henry and Scott from Quiz Bang Wallop
0:23:29 > 0:23:33and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36OK, then. Maria and Chris, you're playing to win
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Quiz Bang Wallop £18,000. Judith, Kevin, CJ and Chris,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47It is the Eggheads' reputation. Very valuable that is too.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53The questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55So, Maria and Chris, the question is,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01How do you want to play it? Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I think we'll stick with what the team's done so far
0:24:03 > 0:24:04and we will go first.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Best of luck to you, Quiz Bang Wallop.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Here's your first question, General Knowledge.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Which driver broke his leg when he crashed into a wall
0:24:15 > 0:24:18at the British Formula One Grand Prix in 1999?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Where's Henry when you need him? - Absolutely.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Yeah, this is definitely one that Henry might know.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Schumacher I don't think ever broke a leg, did he?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I don't think so and I think if I'd have heard of this
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- that name would have popped straight into my head.- David Coulthard
0:24:37 > 0:24:40is a British driver, so that would have been big news.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- I'm kind of guessing Mika Hakkinen. - I've never heard of Mika Hakkinen.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46That would be my instinctive guess but...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- OK.- I don't know why. - Where is he from?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Finland, I think. - OK. All right.- I'm not sure.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Does it ring any bells?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Kind of instinctive, but not sure why.- OK.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58- Shall we go for it?- Yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01We will go, Dermot, for Mika Hakkinen.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Mika Hakkinen breaking a leg there in 1999 in the British Gran Prix.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06You say Henry's your motor racing expert.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Is he a bit of a fan of the F1? - Just sport in general, really.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- He's shaking his head. - Shaking his head vigorously.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Saying he's not a fan.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16But it's not the right answer.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Oh, dear.- It is Schumacher, the one you first rejected.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Michael Schumacher broke his leg. Eggheads, your first question.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The bird known as a waxwing is so named
0:25:26 > 0:25:29for the tips on its wing feathers that are what colour?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34The bird known as a waxwing is so named
0:25:34 > 0:25:36for the tips on its wing feathers that what colour?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Sealing wax is traditionally red. - Sealing wax is red.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42INAUDIBLE MUTTERING
0:25:42 > 0:25:47- It makes sense.- Wax is traditionally red.- That's exactly what I said.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51On the basis that sealing wax is traditionally red, we'll go for red.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, not from your knowledge of ornithology then?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- No.- Your knowledge of sealing wax.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Certainly not from ornithology.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Going the wax route, and it is red. It is the right answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So Eggheads, you have a lead, and Maria and Chris,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07work to be done, then. In Greek mythology,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11who married Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Well, I'm immediately wanting to rule out Pandora.- Yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I don't think that's going to be the answer in this case.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- She opened the box, didn't she? - She opened the box.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Echo, isn't that connected with the story of Narcissus?- Yes!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- I think you might be right.- So I would go straight down the middle
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- with Nike.- I was drawn to Nike also. - Let's go for it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38So let's go with our instinct.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40We're going to go with Nike.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Instinct leading you to Nike and is that the right way
0:26:43 > 0:26:46to have gone, Eggheads?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- No, it's Pandora.- It's Pandora. - Oh, no!- Oh, dear.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53A Pandora's box of problems opening up here for you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You need to hope the Eggheads don't know this.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01The Indian state of Mysore
0:26:58 > 0:27:01was renamed as what in the 1970s?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06The Indian state of Mysore
0:27:06 > 0:27:09was renamed as what in the 1970s?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It isn't either of the others so it's Karnataka.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK. Haryana is up in the North West near the Punjab.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Bihar's up on the Ganges.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Fine.- Mysore must be Karnataka.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- It's Karnataka.- OK.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25And you've gone for Karnataka.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30It's the right answer, Eggheads, which means you've won.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Which also means Quiz Bang Wallop,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40it didn't really end with a bang there for you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44You never got going in the final round after such good performances in those head-to-heads.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Chris's most notable in that you won through and took Daphne out.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51But very good performances, even from Mike.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53LAUGHTER
0:27:53 > 0:27:57I'm serious about that, Mike. It was great fun, your round.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00But not to be, in that final round. Thank you very much indeed
0:28:00 > 0:28:02for coming along and quizzing with us today, Quiz Bang Wallop.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Best of luck in your quizzing in the future.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £18,000
0:28:11 > 0:28:13and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:19 > 0:28:21have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
