0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident champions are the Merry Harriers.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team is an amalgamation of various quizzers
0:00:38 > 0:00:40from the Surrey County Quiz League.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43And aside from their shared passion for quizzing,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46the other thing that connects them is the warm welcome they receive
0:00:46 > 0:00:49at Colin and Julie's pub, The Merry Harriers.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50So let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Colin, I'm 53 and I'm a pub landlord.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59I'm Julie, I'm 47 and I'm a pub landlady and llama trekker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm John, I'm 59 and I'm a company director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Judith, I'm 54 and I'm a systems analyst.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11I'm John, I'm 59 and I'm a part-time yoga teacher and gardener.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17- Colin and team, welcome.- Thank you, Jeremy.- And you run the pub, Colin? - Yes, indeed. It keeps me rather busy.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19But you're also busy with a llama farm.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Yes, we have a herd of nine llamas that we've had for ten years now
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and we've taken several thousand people out on llama treks.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Oh, I see, the llamas go exploring or...?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The llamas go out walking and carrying picnics
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- and exciting people, really. - Oh, fantastic.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Is that just backing onto the pub? - It is, yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41This pub sounds more and more interesting by the second.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- And you quiz in the pub? - We have a quiz night in the pub
0:01:45 > 0:01:49but we also take part in the Southwest Surrey Quiz League
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and most of the people here tonight play either for our team
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- or other teams in the league. - OK. Well, good luck.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Merry Harriers, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09which means £9,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Would you like to try?- Yes. - Definitely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Good, that's what we like. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So do we have a scientist here?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I think that's me, isn't it? - Judith is our scientist.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26OK. And you can choose an Egghead. You've got all of them to pick from.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Who do you think you should choose? - I think you should take Judith.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I would want to take Judith, yes. - It's a Judith v Judith. - A double Judith.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39OK. Judith from the Merry Harriers versus our own Judith on science
0:02:39 > 0:02:44and just to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So how am I going to deal with this? I've got two Judiths?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Judith Egg.- Judith Egg, OK.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Three multiple-choice questions on science in turn
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and, Judith our challenger, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Here we go. Good luck to you.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08What name is given to the surgical device that allows doctors to see and work inside body cavities
0:03:08 > 0:03:10without having to make a large incision?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I don't think it's an occluder.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I think a cannula is a little tube of some kind,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27so I think it's an endoscope.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Very good. Endoscope it is. Well done.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Judith, your first question on science.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34In terms of their physiological function,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38what are insulin, adrenaline and progesterone?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Oh, they are hormones.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Hormones is the right answer.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48One each.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Judith, Judith, Judith.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54What does a phonometer measure?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59P-H-O-N-O-M-E-T-E-R. All one word. Phonometer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Oh, phonometer. That would be sound, then.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Sound is the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Judith Egg, what type of creature is the Australian honeyeater?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, well, bears eat honey, don't they?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I don't think it's a wild dog.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Honeyeater. It could possibly be a bird-of-paradise type bird.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24On the other hand, bears eat honey.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's a golden rule. Bears eat honey.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Bear.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- It's a bear, you say? - Not in Australia, obviously.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I haven't yet told you you're wrong but your team-mates think you are.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Barry?- I think it's a bird. - It is a bird, Judith.- It is a bird.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43OK, this is good for you. If you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Preston Tucker was an innovator in which field in the 20th century?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Well, I've not heard of Preston Tucker.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Erm... I don't know a lot about computing and who invented things
0:05:02 > 0:05:04but I'll guess it's not that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I haven't heard of it in the field of genetics either,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11so I'm probably completely wrong but I'm going to go for automobiles.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Very good. You got it absolutely right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Wahey!- Really, really determined play from Judith.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Sorry, Egghead Judith, you have been knocked out.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You will not be in the final round.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Please, both of you, both Judiths, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Well done. A good start. Off the blocks. You've rocked them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36You can see the uncertainty. If you look closely, you can see the fear.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44The next subject is sport. Who would like this?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Have you got a player?- Sport. - I'll take it.- You'll take it, yeah?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I'll take it.- OK, it's Colin. Against which Egghead, Colin?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I will play against Chris.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58So Colin from the Merry Harriers against Chris from the Eggheads on sport.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, at least it's not arts and books, Chris.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08That makes a very pleasant change, Jeremy, yes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Colin, when you have the quiz in your pub, who writes the questions?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Me.- Oh, that's encouraging. Good luck in this round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Three questions on sport
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- and you can choose the first or the second set, Colin. - I'll go first.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Here's your first question.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Which horse won the 2011 Epsom Derby?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I used to follow flat racing quite closely
0:06:35 > 0:06:37but I don't any more.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44But Denman doesn't ring a bell. The other two are more familiar.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'm going to go with Ballabriggs.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Ballabriggs is wrong, actually.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Eggheads, do you know? - Pour Moi.- Pour Moi.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Ballabriggs won the Grand National. - That's maybe why it was in your mind.- Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Chris, Haircut 100 is the nickname of which snooker player?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Mm.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Shaun Murphy sounds like an Irish lad,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13unlikely to be called Haircut 100.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Judd Trump sounds like some branch of Donald Trump and co,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19so we'll go with Neil Robertson.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- JEREMY LAUGHS - I love your reasoning.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Because somebody has the same name as Donald Trump it can't be the answer?- Mm.- OK.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It is Trump, actually. It is Judd Trump. Sorry, Chris.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32So two wrong answers in a row.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You're back where you started, Colin.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40In 2011, the footballer Charlie Adam left which club to join Liverpool FC?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I know it wasn't Wolves.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51And it wasn't West Ham. I'm fairly certain it was Blackpool.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Blackpool is the right answer. Well done.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Well done. Celebrations at this end.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05Chris, Sam Tomkins, born in March 1989, is a famous name in which sport?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Erm... Not heard the name in athletics or cricket
0:08:15 > 0:08:18but it sounds like a good solid working class lad from up North,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21so I'll go with rugby league.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Rugby league is the right answer.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25One point each.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Did you know that, Colin?- I did.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30He said regretfully.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36OK, what name is given to the various humps that have to be navigated
0:08:36 > 0:08:39on a competitive BMX track?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm far too old for that, Jeremy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Erm...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I'm going to take a complete guess at...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55yelps.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Yelps sounds right but it's not. It's whoops.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So Chris has a chance to take the round.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06See if he can use his brilliant, Sherlock Holmes style process of logic,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08the Trump reasoning, as we call it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Which Argentinian golfer won the 1967 Open Championship
0:09:13 > 0:09:15at the age of 44?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Well, Roberto de Vicenzo sounds more Italian than Argentinian,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33so it's down to Eduardo Romero or Antonio Cerda.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39On the basis that it sounds more Argentinian than Eduardo Romero,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'll go with Antonio Cerda.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Yeah, it's not. It's Roberto de Vicenzo.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Oh.- OK, so you're one point each after three questions.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55It gets a bit harder now. It's Sudden Death, Colin, and I don't give you alternatives.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So here is your first Sudden Death question.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59See if you can knock him out on sport.
0:09:59 > 0:10:05Anthony Ogogo, a contestant in Big Brother's Celebrity Hijack in 2008,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07won a medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games
0:10:07 > 0:10:09in which sport?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I'm going to go, for no real reason,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20with pole vault.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It's not pole vaulting. It's boxing.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26He got the silver medal in the middleweights.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I suppose if you're watching from a distance, they would look similar.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31LAUGHTER
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Chris, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39The footballer Socrates represented which country in international competition?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The only Socrates I know was the Greek philosopher but...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Socrates. Well, Greece.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- No, it's Brazil. - LAUGHTER
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Colin, your Sudden Death question.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Which city hosted the 2011 World Athletics Championships?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I seem to remember it was somewhere where the temperature was an issue.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And I think it was in southern Europe.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm going to go with Rome.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Let's see if the Eggheads know this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Daegu.- Daegu, says Kevin. Which is in which country?- South Korea.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22South Korea is the answer, not Rome.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Chris, get this right and you're in the final round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31Mike Atherton played for which county cricket team throughout his professional career?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Lancashire. - Lancashire is the right answer.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You've done it, Chris. Well done.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Colin, you've been knocked out after a hard-fought round on sport.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So, the challengers have now lost a brain
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The next subject for you is geography.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Which of you would like this?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I said I'd cover geography, didn't I, so you OK?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Yeah. Let's do that. - You all right?- OK.- OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Against which Egghead? It can't be Chris or Judith.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05No, no. I'm going to go against Pat.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So John from the Merry Harriers versus Pat from the Eggheads
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So I'm going to ask each of you three questions on geography
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and, John, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'll go with the tradition of our team. We're going to go first.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Here we go. Good luck to you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Galway Bay is located on which coast of Ireland?
0:12:34 > 0:12:39I went with my wife a few years ago on a touring holiday of Ireland
0:12:39 > 0:12:43and I can remember eating Galway Bay mussels and soda bread
0:12:43 > 0:12:46and I can be pretty certain, therefore,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49it's on the west coast of Ireland.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well done. That's a great reason to know. Thank you, John.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53West Coast is right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Pat, the Vale of White Horse is an area
0:12:55 > 0:12:58in which administrative county of England?
0:13:02 > 0:13:08I think it gets its name from a famous chalk carving on a hillside
0:13:08 > 0:13:10of a horse
0:13:10 > 0:13:14and I think it's linked to the Chiltern chalk hills.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I think it's in Oxfordshire.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yes, Oxfordshire it is.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20John, back to you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Which Asian country has borders with China, Russia, Uzbekistan,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I think... I don't think it's India.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And I'm not certain about Kazakhstan.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I think the answer is Afghanistan.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Kazakhstan is an interesting one because it's -
0:13:42 > 0:13:47this came up the other day - it's the largest landlocked country in the world
0:13:47 > 0:13:49so it's got a lot of countries abutting it
0:13:49 > 0:13:52and it is the answer, here, John. Kazakhstan.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Pat, your question.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Lombok is an island of which country?
0:14:02 > 0:14:08Lombok and Bali are famous because the Wallace Line passes between them.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14It's the line that divides Asian-type animals
0:14:14 > 0:14:16from Australasian type
0:14:16 > 0:14:20and both Bali and Lombok are in Indonesia.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Indonesia is the right answer, so you take the lead.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25John, you need to get this one right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28What is the largest lake in Central America?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'm not certain it's Lake Titicaca
0:14:38 > 0:14:40because I think that's in South America.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Erm...
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Texcoco sounds like it could be Central American.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I've not heard of Lake Nicaragua.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm going to go with Lake Texcoco.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Lake Texcoco. Anyone...? Colin, I'm sensing you know the answer, here.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Lake Nicaragua.- John, I'm sorry, Lake Nicaragua is the right answer,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- which means you've been knocked out - OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Pat, you're through to the final.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16One more round before the final and it's music.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Who would like this? Julie or John?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- I'll take this round. - Julie's playing.- Julie?- Yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Against either Barry or Kevin.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Who do you think? Who do you think I should go against?
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- I'd say Kevin.- Why not Kevin? - Kevin.- See where we get. - I'll challenge Kevin.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36So Julie from the Merry Harriers versus Kevin from the Eggheads on music.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Please go to the question room.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Julie, I love the story about how you met Colin.- Thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- It was on a plane flight.- Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I was working in Milan and Colin had been to Milan for a meeting for a day
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and I just happened to be late for my flight
0:15:51 > 0:15:55and the last seat on the plane was actually next to Colin.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59We chatted. I got up off the plane when we landed at Heathrow
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and I said, "Bye, nice chatting to you,"
0:16:01 > 0:16:05and went to the ladies in baggage reclaim in Terminal 1
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and when I came out Colin was standing there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It was quite strange, really.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So he said, "Can we see each other again?"
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yeah, he said, "Do you want to meet for a drink?" so I said OK.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It was March. I said, "I'm a bit busy for the next few months
0:16:18 > 0:16:20"but I'll give you a call."
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And I called him at the end of August.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27And now you're running a pub and a llama farm and happy days.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Yes, yes. Very much.- Great stuff.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32OK, so music now, with Kevin. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Julie, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Here we go. Good luck.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Which British composer born in 1933
0:16:43 > 0:16:46provided the scores for 11 Bond films?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Now, this is very interesting
0:16:52 > 0:16:56because one of the regulars at our pub
0:16:56 > 0:17:00went to a very special memorial concert, I think,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03for the composer of all of these Bond films
0:17:03 > 0:17:07and I'm pretty certain it was John Barry.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Very good. It was John Barry. It was.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- And he died just relatively recently.- Yes, yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18Kevin, what was the title of the debut single of the girl band Little Mix?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Ah, right, OK.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Well, I know they did Cannonball and I think it got to number one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The Climb was Joe McElderry.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And When We Collide...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36was somebody else, so Cannonball.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Cannonball is right. Well done.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Julie, Gareth Malone, born in Bournemouth in 1975,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47is mostly commonly associated with which type of music?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Wow. I've never heard of him, Jeremy.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Erm...
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I think I'm going to...
0:18:01 > 0:18:04take out choral music.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12And I think I'm going to go down the middle here and go for rap music.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14The answer, I'm afraid, is choral music.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- He was the one who did the military wives choir...- Ah, yes! - ..and all of that on TV
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and then in the charts.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Kevin, to take the lead,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Stacee Jaxx is a character in which stage musical
0:18:27 > 0:18:31featuring rock songs from the 1980s?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37OK.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I don't know this
0:18:40 > 0:18:42because there were a whole range over the last few years
0:18:42 > 0:18:47of these rock musicals recycling old hits.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Erm... I don't recognise Long Live Rock as a title
0:18:51 > 0:18:53but that doesn't mean that it's not that.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Rock Of Ages sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn't it?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I... I'm inclined, without any...
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I'm sure there is one called Rock On, so I'll try Rock On.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Rock On is the wrong answer. It's Rock Of Ages, actually.- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Julie, your question.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Which singer released an album of Yuletide classics
0:19:16 > 0:19:20entitled Christmas In The Heart in 2009?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Ooh!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's not in my collection.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34Erm, the title would lead you to Captain Beefheart,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38the title of the album, but I'm not sure.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Erm...
0:19:40 > 0:19:45No. I would have to take a guess at this one, I think.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And I'm going to go with...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Bob Dylan.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Yes!- Your team love that answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And it's a very difficult one to guess, isn't it, team?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01You've got the album, have you? Well done, Julie, you're right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Bob Dylan it is. Well done.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06So, Kevin under pressure now.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Porcupine, Ocean Rain and Songs To Learn And Sing
0:20:10 > 0:20:13were 1980s albums by which band, Kevin?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Mm. Not at all sure.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I've certainly heard of Ocean Rain
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but I can't remember, unfortunately, who it was.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Ah...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I don't think it's A Flock Of Seagulls
0:20:36 > 0:20:40but I can't really even entirely rule them out.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I think it's them. I think it's one of the other two.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And it's a fifty-fifty, I'm afraid.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I shall go for
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Simple Minds.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- Simple Minds is wrong.- Mm. - Echo & The Bunnymen is the answer.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02How about that, Julie? You've knocked out Kevin.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- You've knocked out Kevin on music. - Oh, my goodness.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well done. You will be in the final round and, Kevin, you will not be.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Do, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and we'll play the final.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Great play, Julie.- Thank you.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It's a bit exciting, now. It's time for the final round
0:21:19 > 0:21:21which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25But I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads can't take part.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28So Colin and John from the Merry Harriers
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads
0:21:30 > 0:21:33would you please leave the studio?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, Julie, Judith and John, the three Js,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41you're playing to win the Merry Harriers £9,000.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:52 > 0:21:53and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So, Merry Harriers, the question is are your three brains
0:21:56 > 0:21:58better than the Eggheads' three brains?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We'll go first. Keep the tradition.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So here we go. Good luck to you in this final round.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13What is the surname of the male component
0:22:13 > 0:22:16of the celebrity couple known as Brangelina?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- It's Brad Pitt, isn't it?- Brad Pitt. - And Angelina Jolie.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23So it's Brad Pitt.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Brad Pitt.- Brad Pitt is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Eggheads, what is the literal meaning of the word "nous"
0:22:32 > 0:22:35when translated from the Greek?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Ooh. Nous.- Mm.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- My first thought would be mind. - Same here, yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Mind, brain, intelligence.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52We're not totally sure on this one but Chris and I think it's mind,
0:22:52 > 0:22:53so we'll go for mind.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56And mind is right. Well done.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Your second question.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02What name is traditionally given to a measure of rolled fabric?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It's a bolt.- It's a bolt of fabric.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Bolt.- Wow. No doubt at all?- No.- No.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Bolt is the right answer. Well done. Bolt it is.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16OK, Eggheads, what is the name of the type of shoe
0:23:16 > 0:23:21that has no laces but a broad strap fastened with a distinctive side buckle?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Mm.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Pope shoe...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, my first guess would be Pope shoe.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Yeah. Papal slippers.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Yes. I seem to think the Pope wears that sort of shoe.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Monks tend to go barefoot.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Or wear sandals. - Or wear sandals, yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I can't think of a vicar shoe. It just doesn't ring right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- It's got to be Pope Shoe.- Are you happy with that?- I don't know. Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Again, we're not 100% certain on this one
0:23:51 > 0:23:55but the consensus is Pope shoe, so Pope shoe's our answer.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- OK. Do you know, by any chance? - I think it's a monk shoe.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I think you're right. Ooh! You got it wrong, guys.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06OK. If you get this right, you've won.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Who is the author of the Lovejoy novels,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12famously adapted into a TV series starring Ian McShane?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Peter Dickinson was Dr Who, wasn't he?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I think he was an actor in Dr Who. I don't think he wrote it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28No, no, he was an actor. That's what I mean.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Crumbs.- Lovejoy novels.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Lovejoy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- You can't tell anything from that. - You can't tell anything.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh. I don't know.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42No. I think, it's a guess, I would go with Dickinson.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- We'll go with Dickinson? - But I don't know why.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I don't know.- OK.- Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- OK.- Complete guess. Peter Dickinson.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Let's see if the Eggheads know this one. Eggheads?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Jonathan Gash. - They all say together.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Jonathan Gash is the answer.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00The Dr Who reference - that's somebody else, isn't it?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Peter Davidson. - Peter Davidson, that was.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06OK, it's not the end of the world. If they get this wrong, you've won.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08If they get it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Eggheads, who was commissioned to arrange the flowers at Westminster Abbey
0:25:13 > 0:25:17for the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I think it was Constance Spry.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I think Constance Spry was famous for Coronation flower-arranging.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I'm not sure whether she did this particular...- She's of that vintage.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- I'm sure it's Constance Spry. - Yeah, yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38OK, well, again, we're not totally certain
0:25:38 > 0:25:41but we're a bit more certain than we were on the last one
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and we're going to go for Constance Spry.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Constance Spry is your answer.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You're correct.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54So, hey, what about this? You were so nearly there. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Which US State Department official and suspected spy
0:25:59 > 0:26:03was accused before the House Committee of Un-American Activities
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and convicted of perjury in 1950?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Was at Arthur something Hiss?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Hiss?- Not Hesse. And it's a funny name.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Alvin?- Alda?- Alda?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Aldous?- Hmmm...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Aldiss? Alder?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Algernon?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Archibald.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Well, does anyone know? - I've no idea.- I've no idea.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I think it's Alda Hiss.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37I can't accept that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- It's Alger. - THEY GROAN
0:26:40 > 0:26:45And funnily enough, in your technique, Julie, of going through name after name,
0:26:45 > 0:26:50you hit on Algernon and I thought Alger is maybe short for Algernon.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52OK, so we go to the Eggheads now.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55If you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Who wrote and directed the 2010 film Neds?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I think this was a Glasgow-set film. - It is.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05About delinquency and people on their uppers.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Definitely.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Is it Peter Mullan? He's either an actor or a director or both.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Peter Mullan rings a bell. - It rings a vague bell, yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I don't know at all on that one.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- It's the only name we've got. - It's probably an evens chance.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Yeah.- All right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Well, neither Chris nor I know but Pat has a name, Peter Mullan,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28so we'll go with Pat's answer and that's Peter Mullan.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34The writer and director of the 2010 film Neds was Peter Mullan.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Eggheads, congratulations. You have taken the contest.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48I hope the name Alger Hiss doesn't come into your eye-line any time soon.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- That was painful for me as well, I can tell you.- Ah!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I was willing you on, there. - Thank you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Commiserations to the challengers.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01although they squeaked through a bit this time.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03The winning streak does continue.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You won't be going home with the £9,000,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16£10,000 says they don't.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Till then, goodbye.
