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 > 0:00:14arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:36And challenging our quiz Goliaths today are Alive & Kicking.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team of friends all met socially over 10 years ago,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and regularly quiz together at the Priory pub, in Hull.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44So, let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Graham. I'm 66.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And I'm retired refrigeration engineer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm John. I'm 68,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and I'm an associate tutor at the University of Hull.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 59, and I'm a part-time customer adviser.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, my name is Sean. I'm 49, and I'm a steelworker.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Mac, I'm 67, and I'm a retired maintenance fitter.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So, Graham and team, welcome. You quiz together at the Priory?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Yes, we do.- Tell us how that works, what kind of a night it is?
0:01:11 > 0:01:16It's just a general quiz, they do one on a Thursday and a Sunday.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21We quiz together on a Sunday. And we go our separate ways on the Thursday.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And, you win, or you come midway? How does it work?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We do OK. We do OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I read somewhere you use your winnings to go on trips?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32A few of us do, not all of us. We're a bit stingy with our money!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We just... We go away.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We've been, like, to the Isle of Wight, places like that.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We've put it to good use.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43OK. And have you thought about the categories here
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and who's playing what?
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Strategy has gone out the window.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Already? That is early.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52OK. Good luck to you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Against this lot here. Not as frightening as they look!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, I can tell you, Alive & Kicking,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06the Eggheads have won the last nine games.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That means £10,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Challengers, who wants this?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- I think that's me.- Sue? OK.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And which Egghead would you like to challenge?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23You pick who you want.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Well, Judith.- OK, that's fine. - Judith, please.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29OK, Sue, from Alive & Kicking, versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37We'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions
0:02:37 > 0:02:39on Film & Television, in turn.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Sue, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Here we go, Sue, good luck.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53First question: The Torchwood character Captain Jack Harkness
0:02:53 > 0:02:56first appeared in which television programme? Was it:
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I've not watched Being Human or Primeval, but I do know about them.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07But Torchwood is an anagram of Dr Who, I believe.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, that's my answer, Doctor Who.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Doctor Who is the right answer, well done.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Judith Keppel, which comedy character has children called
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Kenny, Bruce and Valmai? Is it:
0:03:27 > 0:03:28It's Dame Edna.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Dame Edna is the right answer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Sue, your question.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The 1990s TV comedy drama Preston Front
0:03:36 > 0:03:41was about a group of friends and their link to which organisation?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Is it:
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I've not seen it. Um... Preston Front?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54It doesn't sound like the Salvation Army. I'll rule that one out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Barmy Army, that's cricket followers, Barmy Army?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'll say Territorial Army.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Territorial Army is the right answer, well done, Sue.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Playing well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Two out of two. Back to Judith on Film & TV.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10What is the surname of the title character
0:04:10 > 0:04:14played by Jim Carey in the film, The Truman Show? Is it:
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Golly, I never saw it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I don't know why, but I think it might be Burbank.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Anyone know here? - It is Burbank.- It is Burbank,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Judith, you're right, well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Two each. Both playing well.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Sue, your third question.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35What was the name of the cinematographer who died in 1993,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and was the nephew of the director Jean Renoir
0:04:38 > 0:04:45and the grandson of the artist Pierre Auguste Renoir? Was it:
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I don't know this one either. Um.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Claude Renoir? Michel Renoir?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Andre Renoir?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01They all sound as if they would go. Um.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I am going to say Michel, but I don't know, it's just a guess.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Michel is your answer. Anyone know it on your team?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- No.- No.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Anyone here?- Claude. - Claude, say the Eggheads.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14It is Claude, Sue.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Judith can take the round with this question.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Bobby Hill, Lucy Bates and Ray Calletano
0:05:21 > 0:05:23were characters in which US TV series?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Don't know.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I did watch Hill Street Blues, so I don't think it's them. That, I mean.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Erm...
0:05:38 > 0:05:39LA Law.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I would also use the same logic as you. I know Hill Street Blues,
0:05:42 > 0:05:43But I don't remember the names.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But it is, that's the right answer, Hill Street Blues.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Oh, no, really?- Funnily enough. So, yeah, you got it wrong.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52After three questions, it's Sudden Death. Sue, you're still in it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It gets a bit harder though, it's not multiple-choice,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- so I don't give you alternatives, OK?- OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59What was the title of the sequel to
0:05:59 > 0:06:04the 1999 Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal comedy film, Analyse This?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11No, I know the first, I know that title you told me, but I don't know.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'll just take a guess. Analyse That.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Brilliant, you're spot on! - Was that right?- That's right!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18SHE LAUGHS
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That's amazing!
0:06:20 > 0:06:25That's the best guess I've ever seen by a challenger on this show.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's a shame Daphne's not here, who is our gold standard guesser.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Judith, your question, to stay in it now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The Train Now Standing, and The Gravy Train,
0:06:36 > 0:06:41are episodes in which TV sitcom, starring Paul Shane?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The Train Now Standing?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50TV, English TV sitcom. The Train Now Standing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Train movies, or series, rather.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I've never heard of Paul Shane.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'm sorry, Paul Shane.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I have absolutely not the first clue.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- You don't know? - No, absolutely no idea.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- So what's going to happen now? - I'm passing.- You're passing!- Mm-hm.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Paul Shane, who you haven't heard of,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- was in an edition of Celebrity Eggheads.- Oh, dear.- I do apologise.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- He was in Hi-de-Hi. - I'm really sorry.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He's the one with the sideburns. You know him, I'm sure you know him.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Oh, yes, of course, I remember now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Anyway, the answer is, Oh, Dr Beeching.- Oh, dear.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Judith, you've gone, I'm afraid. - I'm a goner.- You're a goner.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34You are going to be in the sin bin in the final round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Sue, you've triumphed over an Egghead, a good start for your team.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Well done, we say, well done to Sue.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Excellent.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46And we particularly loved Analyse That, that was a great moment.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Well, a good start.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well done, Sue. Fantastic. Knocking out an Egghead.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58The challengers have not lost a brain,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00the Eggheads have lost Judith. Let's see where we go.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Our next subject for you is Arts & Books. Who would like this?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07THEY CONFER
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- You were nominated, John.- Thank you very much. It comes to me.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- You are a university tutor, John. - Well, yes, no pressure!- OK.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Against which Egghead?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Well, I've met Barry, he seems a nice chap.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Thank you.- We'll go for Barry.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24OK, it's going to be John, from Alive & Kicking,
0:08:24 > 0:08:25versus Barry, from the Eggheads.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31OK, good luck in this round against Barry.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Whoever answers the most goes through to the final.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- John, the first or second set? - I'll go first, please.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Here we go, John, good luck.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47What is the term for a liquid sprayed onto a finished artwork
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- to preserve it and prevent smudging? - Is it:
0:08:55 > 0:08:59It's not an accusative, I think that's a form of a verb.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02a locative, I wouldn't know what that is.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But I rather think that it's a fixative.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Fixative is the right answer, of course, well done.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Barry, over to you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Which word is used to describe a drawing done
0:09:12 > 0:09:16without the help of any aid, such as a ruler or compass. Is it:
0:09:20 > 0:09:21It might be offhand,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25but I think it would probably be best described as freehand.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Freehand is right. Again, one each.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Arts & Books. John.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The author, Isaac Bashevis Singer,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36who won the 1978 Nobel Prize for Literature,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- initially wrote most of his works in which language?- Was it:
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Hm, that's a good question for someone who's never heard of him.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Erm. I can see the Jewish significance of the names,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but I'm not sure about you Yiddish.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm ruling out Spanish.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- And I'm going to go for Polish. - Polish?- Yes.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- Actually, it was Yiddish.- Ah, right. - Almost the more obvious one.- Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Barry.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09In Rudyard Kipling's poem, what is the occupation of Gunga Din?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, he was a better man than I am, but he was a water-bearer.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18He was indeed. You've taken the lead.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21John, you need this to stay in.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Which military leader is a character in George Bernard Shaw's play,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26The Man of Destiny? Is it:
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Ah. Well, some good stories coming up here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I know what Gunga Din does! HE CHUCKLES
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Erm. I don't think it's Genghis Khan.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Alexander the Great seems a little bit historical.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I think I'm going to go with Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Well done, you've got it right, it is Napoleon Bonaparte.- Thank you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Barry, your question, to win the round.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts
0:10:57 > 0:11:00was the first novel by which author? Was it:
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Goodness me, that's a title to conjure with, isn't it?
0:11:09 > 0:11:14The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I really don't know this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It doesn't sound like an Alan Hollinghurst novel.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Could be Hanif Kureishi. I'm going to take a shot at Louis de Bernieres
0:11:26 > 0:11:28who wrote Captain Correlli's Mandolin.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You're right, The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts
0:11:31 > 0:11:34was Louis de Bernieres. Well done, you take the round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Sorry, John, one slip, and he was at you there, which can happen.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And you won't be in the final, Barry will.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Please, both of you, come back to the studio, and we'll play on.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50The challengers have lost a brain. The Eggheads have lost a brain too.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And our next subject is History.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Who would like History?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Mac?- Are you ready, Mac?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I would prefer geography, to be honest. But...
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I can't do that!
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- Go on then, I'll take this one. - OK, Mac, against which Egghead?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I think I'll have Dave.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Dave. Tremendous Knowledge, as we call him. Right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So, Mac from Alive & Kicking, versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So, Mac, I know you've got a great love of knowledge.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24And you once read, tell us what you read?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25When I was in my 20s,
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I used to work with a man who spoke a lot of large words.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And I didn't know what he was talking about half the time,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36so I got myself a dictionary, and I read it from back to front.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Wonderful. And then you had more words than him after that?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Yes, I could go back into work the next day and have a conversation
0:12:42 > 0:12:45about what we'd been talking about the previous day!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47JEREMY LAUGHS
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- All right. Well, that's floored us, Mac, that's a good one.- Right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Good luck in this round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm going to ask three each of you three questions on history in turn.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Mac, do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Here we go, and good luck.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04What was the occupation of a cordwainer? Was it:
0:13:06 > 0:13:09It's definitely not farming.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's certainly not thatching.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's a shoemaker.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- You got to cordwainer in your dictionary?- I certainly have.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Cordwainer is, indeed, shoemaking, well done.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It would have been easy to get that wrong. Dave, your question.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29In his office at the Admiralty, Samuel Pepys is said
0:13:29 > 0:13:33to have kept a nude picture of which actress?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That's a good question. I've never heard of this at all. Erm.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Well, Samuel Pepys was around the Great Fire of London time,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and also the plague.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53So, just on that basis, because it was Charles II's mistress,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54I'll go for Nell Gwyn.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Very good, Nell Gwyn is the right answer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Mac, here is your next question.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03When completed in 1923,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07the Flying Scotsman locomotive belonged to which railway company?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I'm not good on trains. Erm.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20None of the initials mean a lot to me.
0:14:20 > 0:14:27I think LNER is London and North East, is it?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Yeah, I'm going to have a guess at LNER.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You've done very well there.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37LNER it is, well done. Excellent, Mac.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So, to Dave, Tremendous knowledge.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46Francis Drake's ship, the Pelican, was later renamed the Golden Hind
0:14:46 > 0:14:51as a tribute to which courtier whose coat of arms featured a deer? Was it:
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't know the answer at all.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Erm. It'll be a guess. Let's go for Thomas Culpepper.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- It's not Thomas Culpepper. Anyone here?- Christopher Hatton?
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Christopher Hatton, they say.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And that is the right answer, Hatton is the answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Right, so it's your chance to take the round, Mac.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17You're playing well. This question will get you in the final.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19What was the name of the 18th Century
0:15:19 > 0:15:24American militia organisation that was led by Ethan Allen?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34The dictionary wouldn't help me with this one at all, I don't think.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40It's... The Black Lake Boys, I'm ruling the Black Lake Boys out.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I'm going to go for the Green Mountain Boys.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Sounds a more sensible...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Green Mountain Boys is absolutely right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So well done, Mac, you've done it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55He played well, Dave, didn't he?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57He played very well.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Lots of potential for the final now.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Mac, Dave, do come back to us and we will play on.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Getting exciting, isn't it? Last subject is music. Who wants this?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Shall I go? Looks like me. Yeah. Looks like it's going to be me.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Graham, OK, against which Egghead, Pat or Kevin?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'll try Kevin, please.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27OK, so, Graham from Alive And Kicking vs Kevin
0:16:27 > 0:16:30from the Eggheads on Music, and let's go to the question room.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34So, Graham, three questions, multiple choice. See if you can get
0:16:34 > 0:16:37to the final. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I'll carry on the good work and I'll go first.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Here we go.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Which song begins with the line, "People try to put us down"?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Erm, "People try to put us down".
0:16:54 > 0:16:58It's certainly not My Guy or My Way.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59I think it's My Generation.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02That's the one. By The Who.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06"People try to put us down. Talking about my generation." Kevin. In
0:17:06 > 0:17:10which category did Susan Boyle's album The Gift
0:17:10 > 0:17:13receive a Grammy Award nomination in 2011?
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Right, I'm not quite sure what she did on that one. That's tricky.
0:17:22 > 0:17:28That's sort of an in-between...album.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29I mean, I can't...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I wouldn't have thought it was anything as specific as bluegrass.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Because that doesn't sound like her anyway.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41What would the Americans have categorised...?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'll have to, not play safe exactly,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46but I'll go for Traditional Pop Vocal.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Looking a bit shaky, Kevin!
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yes, because sometimes, in the Grammys, the categories,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55they have got so many categories, dozens and dozens of them,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57it can be a bit awkward, that.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- And you lost your last music around, didn't you?- I did.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04You're right, though, it is Traditional Pop Vocal.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Your instincts served you well. Back to Graham.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The UK hit singles, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing,
0:18:10 > 0:18:15and The Onion Song are credited to Marvin Gaye and which other singer?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I don't remember him doing anything with Diana Ross.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26And he might've done something with Kim Weston,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30but I'm almost certain it's Tammi Terrell.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Tammi Terrell is quite right, Graham, well done. Two out of two.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Back to Kevin.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38What type of instrument is the zabumba,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40traditionally used in Brazilian music?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Not one I've come across.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50I've never heard of it, so it could technically be any of them. So...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54The only thing to go on is the sound of it,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57which sounds as though it could be a drum.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01But it's...
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Hmmm. I've come across lots of traditional instruments,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but not that one, unfortunately.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I've got literally nothing to go on other than the fact that
0:19:10 > 0:19:12it sounds as though it could be a drum,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but maybe it's meant to lead me towards that, I don't know.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Um, it would be a real risk to go for either of the others
0:19:18 > 0:19:22without having a clue, so, purely on the ground that it sounds
0:19:22 > 0:19:25as though it could be a drum and they use lots of drums
0:19:25 > 0:19:28in Carnival music, for instance, I'll go for a drum.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31And drum is the right answer, well done.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, two points each. Graham.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Norina, Ernesto
0:19:35 > 0:19:40and Dr Malatesta are characters in which Donizetti opera?
0:19:45 > 0:19:52This is going to be a complete guess. I haven't got a clue, really.
0:19:52 > 0:19:59So I'm just going to go straight down the middle and go with Don Pasquale.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Don Pasquale is the right answer! Well done!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Three out of three on music. Excellent.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Kevin, in 1986, which singer married Robert Fripp
0:20:08 > 0:20:12of the rock band, King Crimson? You get this wrong, you're out.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I maybe should know this one, but I don't. Robert Fripp.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I honestly don't know, so I'll try Elkie Brooks.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31How interesting! It's the second time you've gone out on music.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33You're right. In a row.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37The answer is Toyah Wilcox. Graham, you're in the final round.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Well done! Come back to us.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You're welcome to smile and you're welcome to put your thumbs up.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You've knocked the great man out of the final.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48That will be very handy. Come back and we'll play the final round.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- You've played a storming game so far. You've done very well.- Not bad!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Not bad at all. OK. So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It is time for our final round.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02As always, is general knowledge, as you know.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:05 > 0:21:07won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So John from Alive & Kicking,
0:21:09 > 0:21:14and Judith, Kevin and Dave from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Graham, Sue, Sean and Mac,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21you are playing to win Alive & Kicking £10,000.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Barry and Pat, you're playing for something that money can't buy
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:32 > 0:21:33and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Alive & Kicking, the question is
0:21:36 > 0:21:38are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44OK, here we go,
0:21:44 > 0:21:45good luck to you, Alive & Kicking.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48See if you can win this £10,000. Your first question.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53The Grand Order Of Water Rats is a charity that draws its members
0:21:53 > 0:21:55mainly from which industry?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Definitely entertainment, entertainment.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Yeah, I think we'll go for that, so...
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The guys are telling me it's Entertainment, Jeremy.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09So we'll go with Entertainment.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The guys are right. It is entertainment.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Aleph is the first letter in which alphabet?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Do you know?- Absolutely.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's Hebrew, Jeremy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Hebrew is the right answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Well, it was never going to be the case
0:22:26 > 0:22:29that they blundered on the first question, but, you can hope.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Which TV personality jointly led the rally
0:22:32 > 0:22:38"to restore sanity and/or fear" held in Washington DC in 2010?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I think I would dismiss David Letterman.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I was going to say it was Ricki Lake.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Don't really know who Jon Stewart is but I've a feeling
0:22:52 > 0:22:55he has something to do with a political show in America.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Just a funny slight feeling.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Got to go on your hunch, then, so.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06We're going on a hunch that it's Jon Stewart, Jeremy.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- OK, is the hunch right?- Yes. - It is, well done. Very good.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12He presents a thing called The Daily Show.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17What is the name of Scotland's deepest loch?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Loch Morar. I'm absolutely certain on that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26OK. Loch Morar.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32Loch Morar is correct. Keep the pressure on, guys. Next question.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34You get this right, they get this wrong, you've got the money.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40In 2004, Andy Murray won the junior title at which Grand Slam event?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45He's never won at Wimbledon.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I don't think it was Wimbledon, no. I agree.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52So we're down to one of the other two now.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I would go for the US Open. I was thinking that was the answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59He was the US Open junior champion, was he?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Do you think so?- I don't know.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11I think we've just got to go for it. Go on a hunch, really.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13We don't think it's Wimbledon.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17And we're not 100% certain, but we're going to go for the US Open.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18US Open.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I love the way you're guessing these and reasoning,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23and I can tell you, you are right again, so three out of three.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Couldn't have done better.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And John approves back there, don't you?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Certainly do!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30He's very pleased with you. OK, so we have £10,000 up for grabs.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The Eggheads are somewhat depleted here.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Kevin's been knocked out, and Dave and Judith.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39If you get this question wrong, then that's it. They've won the money.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42The Logan and the Star of Bombay
0:24:42 > 0:24:45are famous examples of which gemstone?
0:24:50 > 0:24:55I have it in my mind that the Star of Bombay is a sapphire.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58They're not particularly tied to India, they're found everywhere.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Rubies tend to be more from Thailand and south-east Asia.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And Brazil, yes. Emeralds are Colombia.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I think each of those stones can be found right round the world.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Sapphire came straight into my mind.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17When it said the Star of Bombay, but as I say,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18I could be completely wrong.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21We don't have any other strong logic at our disposal.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Go with that?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We will go, we're not at all certain of this,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30we're going to go for Sapphire.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33If you've got it wrong, it's £10,000 to them.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34The correct answer is Sapphire.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Barry, you sometimes get knocked off your hunches,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41but that was a good hunch. So, it's 3-3. This is quite a contest here.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44After the three multiple-choice questions, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46So it can end very quickly here.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49It's a bit harder. I don't give you different options.
0:25:49 > 0:25:56From 1963-1987, John Silkin served as an MP for which political party?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I don't remember the name, do you?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:26:02 > 0:26:07He wasn't, I'm sure, Labour, because I was a Labour voter.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Does it have to be one of the main ones?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Could he be, like, UKIP, or...?
0:26:12 > 0:26:18- I think he was in the Cabinet, wasn't he?- He was...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Conservative...
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Who knows? One that you've probably heard of.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26It's got to be a guess, hasn't it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Have to be a guess at Conservative, I think.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Yeah, go on.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34We will go for Conservative, Jeremy.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Your answer is Conservative.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Well, he was MP for Deptford from '63 to '74
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and then Lewisham and Deptford from '74 to '87.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49He was also the unsuccessful leadership candidate in 1980,
0:26:49 > 0:26:55following Jim Callaghan's resignation. So he was Labour.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57He was a Labour MP. John Silkin.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01You got it wrong. They can take the contest now. On this one question.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Sudden Death.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Chewidden Thursday was a festival traditionally celebrated
0:27:06 > 0:27:09by the tin miners of which county?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Chewidden Thursday was a festival traditionally celebrated
0:27:13 > 0:27:16by the tin miners of which county?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Sounds Cornish to me.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Got to be Cornwall, I would've thought.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It's the best known county for tin mining.- Could it be any other?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Chewidden. Could be a Cornish...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31In Polperro?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Kernow is the Cornish name for Cornwall.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Chewidden? No, you can't get anything from that.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yes. Shall we go for it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I think we've got to go for the percentage answer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It's got to be Cornwall.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47We're going to go for Cornwall, Jeremy.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50If you're right, the contest is over.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Do you think they're right? - I think they're right, yeah.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I think they're right. It is Cornwall. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You have won!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I know how galling that is, because the Silkin question,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08is probably only a choice of two, isn't it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12But, well played. My goodness, the best team we've had in for a while.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Isn't that the case? Not just saying that.- Very enjoyable game.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Really, really knowledgeable. Thank you, challengers.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Their winning streak continues although you knocked a few out.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That was good work. You won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so that money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:36 > 0:28:38has the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42£11,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
