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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37And hoping to beat them today are the Flotilla of Tugs from London.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of work colleagues spent many hours
0:00:39 > 0:00:41coming up with a team name
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and the reason behind it, to do their thinking justice,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I think I'd better let them explain. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Johnny, I'm 25 and I'm a website manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Emma, I'm 26 and I'm a recruitment consultant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Simon, I'm 39 and I'm a sales director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Josh, I'm 23 and I'm a sales consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 36 and I'm a national sales manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05- So, Johnny and team, welcome. - Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So I need to ask you about Flotilla of Tugs.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Are you working in the tug industry or something?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13No, actually, we're just a bunch of little tug boats,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16all pulling in the same direction at work and in our quiz team.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We've all got specialist subjects and we pull in the same direction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23OK, to defeat the Eggheads somehow by playing as a team. I've got it.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And you take part in something called the Seven Days Quiz
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- which is an online BBC thing. - BBC News website.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31So every Friday we go on and we take part in it
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and we've got a scoreboard in the office and we write up our score.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39At the end of the month we add them up and the winner at the end of the year is going to win a prize.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- It's current affairs quiz? - Current affairs.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- You've got your specialist subjects all worked out here?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45OK, good luck to you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, Flotilla of Tugs, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00which means £17,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of film and TV.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Who would like this?- Simon. - It's got to be Simon, hasn't it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- OK, me, please. - Simon, against which Egghead?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Oh, dear.- Any one of them. Film and TV.- Judith, please.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- OK, straight there. You've got a plan, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Simon from Flotilla of Tugs versus Judith from the Eggheads on film and TV
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK, I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on film and TV in turn.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Simon, would you like the first or the second set of questions?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36The first, please, sir.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Here we go, Simon, good luck.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42The Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes
0:02:42 > 0:02:44wrote and created which TV series?
0:02:49 > 0:02:55OK, erm, Julian Fellowes is normally known for sort of period dramas,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I think, that kind of thing, in film and TV.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Erm, I'm not absolutely sure
0:03:02 > 0:03:04but I'm going to say, yeah, Downton Abbey.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Downton Abbey is the right answer. Well done, Simon.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11First point to your team.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15In one of the last games we had, it took a while to get the first point.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21Judith, Hugh Jackman starred in which 2011 film about robot boxing?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It's not the sort of film I ever watch
0:03:28 > 0:03:32or even think about, so I have no idea.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I haven't even heard of it, actually.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Top Tin.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Real Steel. - HE LAUGHS
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Whoever made up the answer Top Tin is feeling a bit self-satisfied now
0:03:44 > 0:03:45because of you choosing it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47OK, Simon.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52A Game Of Shadows is the subtitle of the second film in which movie franchise?
0:03:56 > 0:04:03Erm... I've seen all of them and I would be very confident
0:04:03 > 0:04:06that it is Sherlock Holmes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Sherlock Holmes is the right answer. Well done. Two out of two.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Judith, in 1998, Julie Hesmondhalgh took on the role
0:04:15 > 0:04:17of which Coronation Street character?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm an EastEnders person, not a Corrie person.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Erm... So I really don't know.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'm going to go the Keppel swerve to Tracy.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34The Keppel swerve... Is she right or wrong, Simon? Do you know?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I don't know, actually.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The answer's Hayley. Hayley's the answer.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- So...- It's another of these days. - ..you've gone.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- I've gone already? - You've gone already!- Oh, no!
0:04:44 > 0:04:49We've had two questions, Simon got them both right. He's in the final.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- There's no way back after two wrong answers.- You're so right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56So, please, both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02The Eggheads have lost Judith.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04So let's have our next subject, which is science.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Who would like science? - I think that's me.- Josh.- Josh.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09We were talking about Josh going for it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Tremendous Knowledge Dave.- Yeah, against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, against which Egghead, Josh? It can't be Judith.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'll be taking on Tremendous Knowledge Dave, please.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Fine. So Josh from the Flotilla of Tugs versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So, Josh, you are the youngest member of the team.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I am. I think I've been thrown to the wolves a little bit here.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Why's that? Is it not your subject? - Not necessarily.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I did do chemistry A level, so I've got some idea
0:05:39 > 0:05:41but it's not my strongest subject.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So chemistry A level gets you in to do science.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Exactly. Let's hope there's no physics or biology.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And you've got some exciting events coming with a wedding.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Yeah, getting married this year, which is very exciting.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I could do with the Eggheads money.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, you can name check your beautiful fiancee.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00She's Jenny. So, hello, Jenny. I love you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04OK. Oh, that's nice. Don't do that often enough, do we?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07OK, I'll each of you three questions on science in turn.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Josh, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Here we go with your first question.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22In the natural world, what is a loach?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I've not really got a brilliant idea, I have to say.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Erm... It's going to be a guess.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40And the name that just popped out straight away was the evergreen tree.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK, I'll see if Dave knows this one. Dave?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- It's a fish.- It is a fish. It's a freshwater fish, Josh.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So we'll see if Dave can pull ahead.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53The Greek scientist Eratosthenes of Cyrene
0:06:53 > 0:06:57was the first person to calculate which of the Earth's properties?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Right. Erm...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I don't know this straight off but just looking at it,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11population and average temperature don't seem right to me.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'll go for circumference.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Circumference is the right answer. Well done.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18How did he do that? Barry will know.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21He used the angle that the sun made.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24He put a pole down a well at Alexandria
0:07:24 > 0:07:27and then he did it 200 miles further down south in Egypt
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and he looked at the angle that the sun made
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and he worked out the circumference of the great circle from it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39- He was only about 2 or 3% out. Amazing, considering.- Extraordinary.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41OK, your question, Josh.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46What is the name of the rover vehicle NASA sent to Mars in November 2011
0:07:46 > 0:07:49as part of its Mars science laboratory mission?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Mm.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02Again, not filled with confidence but Discovery rings a bit of a bell,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05so I'm going to go with Discovery.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's Curiosity, I'm sorry to say.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12So, Dave, if you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18The Martin-Schultz scale is used to determine and describe what aspect of the human body?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Right, erm...
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I don't know. I've not heard of it, but if I'm going off scales,
0:08:30 > 0:08:35shape of fingernails and colour of the eye don't seem right to me,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37so I'll go growth of teeth,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40just simply because we're dealing with a scale.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Interesting. No, it's actually colour of the eye.- Mm-hm?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Anyone know anything about this?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50It's a 1 to 16 or 1 to 20 scale describing the colour of the eye.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Right. So you give your eye a number, basically?- Mm.- OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57We had some optometrists in the other day, didn't we?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Should've listened to them. - Should have asked them, yes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK, so you are back in with a chance, Josh,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05but you've got to get this one right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08The Golmud solar park, which is G-O-L-M-U-D,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13which in late 2011 became one of the largest solar energy plants in the world,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15is located in which country?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I don't know it but just given how hot the country is
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and also the name of the park,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm going to go for Saudi Arabia on that question.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It is China.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Oh! Josh, I'm really sorry, it is China.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So, with one scored, Dave goes through to the final
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and you've been knocked out.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Do, both of you, please, come back, rejoin your teams.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So at it stands, the challengers have lost one brain,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50the Eggheads have also lost a brain, from that crucial final round.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The next subject is arts and books. Who wants to play this one?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It's got to be Emma, hasn't it? - It's going to have to be me.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- OK, Emma against which Egghead? - Barry?- Barry?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- OK, yeah? - OK, Barry, captain.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Emma from Flotilla of Tugs versus Barry from the Eggheads on arts and books.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I will ask each of you three questions on arts and books.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Emma, you can choose the first or the second set.- Er, first.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Here we go. What name is given to an anonymous author
0:10:24 > 0:10:28who writes books for which someone more famous takes the credit?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I think I know this one.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I don't think it's bluffwriter. I think it's ghostwriter.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Bang on. Well done. Ghostwriter it is. Barry, back to you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Who would be most likely to employ sprung rhythm in their daily work?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Well, sprung rhythm was a term invented by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57so the answer is poet.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Poet is right. What is sprung rhythm?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I really don't know.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I thought you'd know what it was.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- No, I can quote some of his poems but I can't...- Give us a line of The Windhover or something.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Yes. "Glory be to God for dappled things."
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That's one of his famous lines.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15OK, Emma, your question.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18What is the name of the award that the Crime Writers Association
0:11:18 > 0:11:22bestows on the best crime novel of the year?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I really don't know this one.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I don't think Gold Truncheon sounds right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Erm... Gold Dagger, maybe.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm going to say Gold Revolver.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- It's actually the Gold Dagger. - Oh!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Barry, over to you, to take the lead.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47In which decade was Michael Morpurgo's book War Horse first published?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's recently been made into a wonderful film directed by Spielberg.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01I know the war horse is called Joey.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05but I suspect it won't be as early as the '60s or the '70s,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so I'm going to go for the '80s.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08And '80s is the right answer,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12so that means you do need this one, now, Emma,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15otherwise you will be knocked out. Here we go.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20The series of prints produced by Francisco de Goya from 1810
0:12:20 > 0:12:23to express his horror at the Napoleonic invasion of Spain
0:12:23 > 0:12:26are known collectively by what title?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I really don't know this one.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Johnny's going to be sitting there, really knowing the answer.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I don't think it's The War To End All Wars.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I could be completely wrong.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's a guess. I'm going to say The Disasters Of War.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Is she right, Eggheads?- Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- You are spot on. Well done.- Yes! - Well done.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Barry, if you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59O Mistress Mine, Where Are You Roaming? and I Am Gone, Sir
0:12:59 > 0:13:04are songs sung by which character in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'm not sure but songs in Shakespearean plays
0:13:11 > 0:13:14are often sung by clowns and Feste is the clown in Twelfth Night,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16so I shall go for Feste.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20And you have got it exactly right, Barry. Good logic from you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Feste is the answer.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Emma, I'm sorry. I thought you were coming back, there.- Never mind.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26He sneaked past you and he will be in the final
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and you have been knocked out, I'm sorry to say.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35OK, last subject round to come.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37We've found out about sprung rhythm, Barry.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41It's apparently when poets use rhythm in their poetry that imitates speech.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Ah!- So we know about sprung rhythm.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46We have now a round to play before the final
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and you've lost two brains.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Are the plans going to change? - No, we'll keep tugging along.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- The flotilla is still in place? - In place. Everything's still going to plan.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57OK, so you've lost two, they've lost one.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- It's politics. Who would like this? - It's going to have to be me.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- You're really sport, aren't you? So it's Hobson's choice.- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Ian? OK. I think that's Ian. Against which Egghead?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Erm...- Pat or Kevin?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's... I'm going to go for Pat.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16All right. Ian from Flotilla of Tugs versus Pat.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17The subject is politics
0:14:17 > 0:14:21and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Ian, you have an absolutely wonderful claim to fame.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26That's right, yes.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I was one of the cubs on Jim'll Fix It back in the day
0:14:29 > 0:14:34who were eating their lunch on the Blackpool Pleasure Beach roller coaster.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And what year was that, first of all?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Erm, I forget. My memory of the early '80s is pretty poor
0:14:39 > 0:14:40but I think it was '82.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Yeah. We've all seen it because they - well, you -
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- went up and down in the roller coaster and food went everywhere. - That's right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51So you wrote and said you wanted to eat a meal on a roller coaster?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I wasn't on camera, I was stuck near the back
0:14:54 > 0:14:57but I think, you know, as the years go by I'm glad I wasn't.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Whose idea was it to ask for that?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I think was the Akela of the group. I think it was the leader.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08And he put a bit of encouragement and a bit of banter into it
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and we eventually got to that conclusion.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- And did you go then to the studio and see Jim?- No, we didn't.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think two or three of them did but I wasn't one of those lucky ones.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19And it's amazing, with a show like the one you've just mentioned
0:15:19 > 0:15:23how everyone of a certain age, which I guess is mainly this side,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25we will all have seen that clip
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- because those days, there were four channels...- Absolutely.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- ..and you all watched everything. - That's it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33All right. I'm going to ask each of you three questions on politics.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Ian, would you like the first or the second set of questions? - I'll take the first, please.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Here we go. No roller coaster in sight.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46In 2011, who told the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee
0:15:46 > 0:15:50that his appearance before them was "the most humble day of my life"?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Erm... I'm pretty sure it's not Alan Sugar or Richard Branson,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02so I'm going to plump for Rupert Murdoch.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Rupert Murdoch is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Quite a lively session, that, wasn't it? Because then...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- He got a custard pie. - He had a custard pie in his face
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- and his wife Wendy hit the person... - She was terrific, wasn't she?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15She was good.
0:16:15 > 0:16:23Pat, what phrase did the BBC Today Programme correspondent Andrew Gilligan infamously use in 2003
0:16:23 > 0:16:26to describe changes made to the September dossier
0:16:26 > 0:16:29on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36This blew up into an enormous storm
0:16:36 > 0:16:39that went on for months and months and months.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I think he claimed it had been sexed up.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Sexed up is the correct answer.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Still not sure whether history's vindicated him or not.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's an interesting question.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51OK, Ian, your question.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57From 1997 to 2010, Julie Kirkbride was MP for Bromsgrove
0:16:57 > 0:16:58for which party?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04This is going to be a guess. I don't know the person in question.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I'm sort of cusping between two at the moment.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's between Conservative and Liberal Democrat.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I'm thinking, that area, is it a Conservative stronghold?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think I'm going to plump for Liberal Democrat.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No, she's actually Conservative.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Stood down over the expenses scandal.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25OK, Pat, your question.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29In 1978, before he became leader of North Korea,
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Kim Jong-il ordered the kidnapping of the South Korean Shin Sang-ok
0:17:34 > 0:17:38for the purpose of using him to improve what in the North?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I... Yes, I remember this.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45This is...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I think you have to read it twice to convince yourself it's true.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54I think he was a film-maker who made sort of fantasy horror films
0:17:54 > 0:18:00and Kim Jong-il had him abducted to make films in North Korea.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I think he was kept for maybe ten years
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and then he somehow found his way back to South Korea again.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06So he's a film-maker.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Film-making is the right answer.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So he was actually held, Kevin? Do you know anything about this?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Well, effectively. There are ways and ways, of course.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I'm not so sure that perhaps his wife wasn't with his as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Odd to hold an artist against their will and force them to create art.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28I know. You wonder sometimes about just where the boundaries lie
0:18:28 > 0:18:29but that was the idea.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And I think there was a biography involved,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35a biographical film about the great leader or the Dear Leader
0:18:35 > 0:18:38or one of them, so it's all very odd.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Very, very strange story. So it was Shin Sang-ok, the film-maker,
0:18:43 > 0:18:44kidnapped by North Korea.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Ian, your question. You need to get this one right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52In 2007, Montenegro joined the Council of Europe,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54which brought the total membership of that body
0:18:54 > 0:18:55up to how many countries?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Again, it's a shot in the dark, this one.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I'm going to go straight down the middle, Jeremy, on 37.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It actually brought the membership to 47, Ian.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15So that's wrong and no way back for you after those three questions.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19So, Pat, you're in the final. Ian, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22If you come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It is time for the final round, which, as always, is general knowledge
0:19:28 > 0:19:30but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:30 > 0:19:32won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35so Emma, Josh and Ian from Flotilla of Tugs
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Well, Johnny and Simon, you're playing to win Flotilla of Tugs £17,000.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56The questions are all general knowledge
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04So, Johnny and Simon, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Would you like to go first or second? - We'll go first, please.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Your first question.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17Which creature's name is also used to mean the act of pestering someone persistently?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- You badger someone. - You badger someone, don't you?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Badger.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Badger is the correct answer. Well done.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Eggheads, the legal authority to act on behalf of another
0:20:32 > 0:20:34is known by what term?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I think that's power of attorney. - Yes, power of attorney.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44That's power of attorney.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Power of attorney is the right answer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Back to you guys.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Composer is the title of an album classical compositions
0:20:53 > 0:20:56released in 2012 by which actor?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Do you know this? - I know that he likes to conduct.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Anthony Hopkins likes to conduct some of his own works from time to time.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I'd be really surprised... - If it was Rhys Ifans.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- ..if it was either of those other two.- Yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- So I'll go with that. - Yeah. Anthony Hopkins.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20The correct answer is Anthony Hopkins.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Well done! You could have easily slipped up on that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:31OK, Eggheads, the Pergau Dam, which was the source of political controversy in the UK in the 1990s,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33is located in which country?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- It was...- I thought it was Malaysia.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It was an export guarantee.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Yeah, there was all sorts of shenanigans
0:21:43 > 0:21:48over, well, backhanders, basically, and favours received.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49I think that's Malaysia.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52That was in Malaysia.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Malaysia is the right answer. Two each.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Get this one right and you put a bit of pressure on them, OK?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03In church architecture, a sedilia is a term used to refer to what?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Right. Do you know?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- I'm a big fan of church architecture.- Are you?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Yeah. Avid fan. I like to go to them in my spare time with my Pevsner.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- So do you know the answer? - Yeah, I do.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- OK.- It's...- No, tell me. - It's stone seats.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- They're set into the end of the church.- Good man.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Stone seats.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27How wonderful. I thought for a second you were joking
0:22:27 > 0:22:30about the church architecture but you're absolutely right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Stone seats it is. Really well played.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Because you've seen that?- I've seen them in quite a few churches.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39They're up the end by the high altar.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's where the priests sit during the mass.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Well done. Stone seats it is. Good play, eh, Eggheads?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Suddenly here we are, backs against the wall.
0:22:47 > 0:22:54The American actor George Gabby Hayes was best known for appearing in what genre of films?
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Westerns. Westerns. He was one of these grizzled old characters.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Erm, beard, all of that.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- OK.- He would regularly trot out in Westerns. OK?- Fine, yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13He was in a lot of Westerns
0:23:13 > 0:23:16as a kind of comedy old... Not necessarily comedy
0:23:16 > 0:23:19but an old-timer, grizzled old-timer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Westerns is your answer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23What was your speciality on Mastermind, Kevin?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- One of them was Western films. - I thought it was.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That's rather lucky.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33If you got it wrong, the contest is over and they take the money
0:23:33 > 0:23:34but it is Westerns.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36So three each.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Ooh, this is a contest now.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Were you being saved up for the end, Johnny?- Yes.- I see, OK.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46We had that the other day. Very effective tactic.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48We go to Sudden Death now. So it's a bit harder.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- I don't give you alternative answers.- Yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Which stage and film musical has an Italian title,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59is set in Greece and uses music by a Swedish pop group?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Mamma Mia!- Yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Mamma Mia! - Mamma Mia is correct.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Four out of four. You're doing well.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Eggheads, Sudden Death.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12What is broadcast several times daily on Radio 4,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16the first time being at 00:48 hours?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Is it the shipping forecast? - The shipping forecast?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Let's just have a think. - Yes, let's have a think. Absolutely.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29What else could it be? 00:48.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- It's not a news bulletin? - Several times a day.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34There's no other time signal or...?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The simple weather forecast would be much more regular, wouldn't it?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah. I think we should...
0:24:39 > 0:24:45I think, if it's something else, you know, fair play
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- but...- Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- OK. Are we all happy? - Yeah, I'm happy with the shipping forecast.- OK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55We're not absolutely sure but we think the most plausible answer sounds to be the shipping forecast.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57so that's what we'll go for.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01The shipping forecast is your answer. There is £17,000 being played for here.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03If you've got it wrong, they've got the money.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The correct answer... Do you know the correct answer?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Shipping forecast.- The shipping forecast is the correct answer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12So level after four questions.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Here's your Sudden Death question.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21Patrimonio is a wine appellation from which Mediterranean island?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Patrimonio, to me, sounds Italian. - Yeah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So I'm thinking Mediterranean island,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Sicily?- I'd say that as well, yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Of all the islands. - Are there any other islands?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Italian islands? - Mediterranean islands generally.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Sardinia would be the other one. - Sardinia, sir.- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Let's see if we can look at them.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Shall we go with Sardinia?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- More likely to have a wine. - Yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Sardinia...- Sardinia's got a slightly more moderate climate.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Sicily can be quite rocky and hot. - Oh!
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Right, are you of the view we should go for your first instinct?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- I'd go with Sardinia. - You'd go with Sardinia?- Yeah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- OK, I totally trust you, mate. - Sardinia.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Eggheads, do you know?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Not sure on this.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I possibly thought it might be one of the Greek islands
0:26:12 > 0:26:15but it does sound more Italian, I admit.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I had some sort of an instinct for one of the Greek islands, maybe Crete or somewhere,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21but not sure at all.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- It's actually Corsica. - THEY GROAN
0:26:23 > 0:26:27So, Italian connections but French...
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Yeah because it's largely a dialect of Italian.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's almost the extra island that wasn't included in your discussion.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Sorry about that.- It's all right. - It's in their hands now.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40If the Eggheads get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:40 > 0:26:46Located in Providence, what is the full name of the acclaimed art education institution
0:26:46 > 0:26:50known by the acronym RISD, which is RIS-D?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- If it's Rhode Island, if it's art education...- School of drama.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I would have thought school of design, maybe.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We'd have to assume that the RI is Rhode Island.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04- That sounds probable. - It's an education institution, so the S must be school.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Rhode Island School of... Can you think of anything other than design?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- No.- Drama doesn't really fit.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I mean, it could be drama. That could fall under the umbrella of...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- It could be dramatic arts. - ..art education.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20But then it would probably have an extra letter. It could be drama.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22But...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think because it's just got the one letter, it would be design.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- It is art education, specifically. - Yeah.- As opposed to "arts".
0:27:30 > 0:27:31- OK?- I'm happy with that.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well, we don't know it but we'll try Rhode Island School of Design.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Rhode Island School of Design.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- I suppose it could have been drawing.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Drafting.- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47RISD does indeed stand for Rhode Island School of Design.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Sorry, challengers. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Johnny, you came on strong at the end there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- You were the secret weapon in the Flotilla, there.- Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I was just a tug.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You played very hard at the end there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11There are teams that have won with fewer correct answers in the final round,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- are there not, Eggheads? - Yeah, that was very good.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Very good quizzing and bad luck. - Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:18 > 0:28:20and their winning streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with the £17,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:31 > 0:28:33to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34£18,000 says they don't.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Till then, goodbye.
