0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show were a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And challenging our resident quiz champions today are The Hole In The Wall Gang.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of friends regularly take part in a weekly quiz
0:00:40 > 0:00:42at the Black Lion pub in Wrexham,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45which is known locally as The Hole In The Wall.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Let's meet them.- Hi, my name's Tony.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'm 57 and I'm a retired deputy head teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57Hello. I'm Frank. I'm 74 and I'm a retired deputy head teacher.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Bill. I'm 65 and I'm a retired wood machinist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Bryn. I'm 57 and a retired bank manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Ralph, I'm 57 and I'm a hospital porter.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So, Tony and team, welcome. Great to see you. You like quizzing together?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Yes, we do.- And a lot of life experience here, I'm sensing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Yes, yes. Some of us a bit older than the others.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22You're a retired deputy head?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Yes, myself and Frank are both retired deputies.- And hobbies?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I do all sorts. Hiking, gardening,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I like a bit of cooking, I go geocaching,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35which is looking for hidden treasure.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39In fact, I found one today. You saw me on the seafront.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Yes! It's so strange, I was walking down the front
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and you were looking behind a sign.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- I thought you were going to ask me but you didn't.- I was about to.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I thought, I don't want to intrude.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50What would you be doing, looking behind a sign?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Well, a geocache is a hidden, it could be any size,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58but this one was a particularly small one, and in it, it has a little log book and you get the co-ordinates
0:01:58 > 0:02:00and a clue, and you go looking for them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03And I happened to have downloaded them before we came,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so I know there was one fairly close, and we had a few minutes
0:02:05 > 0:02:09so we went and had a look. It was a magnetic one. Took me a while but I found it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- So you log it and...- Yeah, log it and I go back to the computer
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and make a comment and so forth.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Why is the pub that you all drink in known as The Hole In The Wall?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Well, there is more than one possibility
0:02:20 > 0:02:25but we think that the most likely is that it sits just outside of Wrexham.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Although it's a beautiful area now, it was quite an industrial area.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31There was an ironworks there and quarries and all sorts.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36And the pub itself is on a slope, and at the side of the pub
0:02:36 > 0:02:39there are some steps and in the wall, there is a space where we believe
0:02:39 > 0:02:43that the workers would come and have a drink at the hole in the wall.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I see. Well, good luck in taking some chunks out of this wall here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:49 > 0:02:53for our challengers. However if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So, Hole In The Wall Gang, the Eggheads have won just the last game
0:02:59 > 0:03:02so that means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Are you ready to try? - I think we are, yes.- Good.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Food and Drink.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Who wants this?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- You know what you've got to do.- Yeah. - Bill, is it you? OK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Against which Egghead?- It's got to be. It's the only weakness.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Who is that?- Kevin.- Against Kevin.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27OK, Bill from The Hole In The Wall Gang versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32and to ensure there's no conferring, will you please take your positions in the question room?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So here we are, up against Kevin on Food and Drink.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And it's going to be three multiple choice questions.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Bill, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40I'll go first, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Here we go. Best of luck, Bill.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49What term is used for the process of tying the legs
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and wings of a chicken before roasting? Is it:
0:03:56 > 0:04:01I'm not really sure. Fetter doesn't sound right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Gird... I'm not too sure. I think I'll go for truss.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Truss is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Kevin, your question. Which gas is added to water to make soda water?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I believe that would be carbon dioxide.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Which would be the most dangerous of those three gases to add?- Hmm...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Probably methane, I would have thought.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Yes, wouldn't be nice to drink anyway.- No.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Carbon dioxide is the right answer. Back to you, Bill.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44What name is given to the dish in which steak and a mushroom
0:04:44 > 0:04:51and shallot mixture are packed into the hollowed-out crust of a loaf?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I must admit I've never heard of any of those.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08I don't think it's horseman's. It's between angler's and shooter's.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I think I'll go for shooter's.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Is he right, team? - I don't know.- No idea.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Your team don't know, but you do, Bill, because you're right.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Well done. Shooter's sandwich is right. Two out of two for Bill.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Kevin, the French cheese called Comte is traditionally made from the milk of which animal?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Sorry, can you spell it, Jeremy?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38The French cheese called Comte, C-O-M-T-E acute accent,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41is traditionally made from the milk of which animal?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Comte...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I'm assuming that probably comes from the Franche-Comte region,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53which is towards the Swiss border.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Not that that helps particularly. It's quite a mountainous area.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- I don't know so I'll try sheep. - You're wrong, actually, it's cow.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09One or the other.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Oh, I say, here we are, Bill. That was a good tactic, wasn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17If you get this right, Kevin is out. You've deposed the king.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Which cooking term is used for stirring a sauce until it is cool,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27thereby ensuring its smoothness and preventing a skin from forming?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Hmm, another one I haven't heard of. It's going to be another guess.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47- I would tend to go for ventre. - Ventre it is not. It is vanner.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Stirring a sauce until it is cool to stop it turning into a skin.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Vanner. So, Kevin, you have a chance to catch up.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00What is the main ingredient in the spicy Mexican soup called menudo?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- M-E-N-U-D-O?- M-E-N-U-D-O.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11What is the main ingredient in the spicy Mexican soup called menudo?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16If you get this wrong, you're out.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Yeah.- Well, it's going to be a one-in-three guess anyway, so...
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Even if I have heard it, I can't remember what's in it. Um, prawns.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32Well, Bill, you're in the final. It's not prawns.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- What is it?- Tripe. Tripe is the answer.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Very honest of you to say it was one in three.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Kevin, you've been knocked out on Food and Drink.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44That's a very smart strategic start from your team, may I say.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Well done, Bill. Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51So, as it stands, the challengers have not lost a brain yet.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55This is a good start. And the Eggheads have lost Kevin, even better.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58So the next subject is Arts and Books. Who would like this?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I think it's got to be Frank. - Frank on Arts and Books.- Yes?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- OK, Frank, against which Egghead? - Shall we try Dave?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Because we don't know Dave. - Dave is an unknown quantity.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The unknown quantity of Dave. The tremendous knowledge of Dave.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17So it's Frank from the Hole In The Wall Gang versus Dave from the Eggheads
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and please go to the question room.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Well, Frank, you're a busy bee as well.- Oh, yes, yes. I was, yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28You're 74 and you're still doing what?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I do tour guides in Chester now, either working on the open-top buses
0:08:32 > 0:08:36or showing parties of Japanese tourists around our wonderful city.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38How marvellous. And your hobbies,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I gather you make wine and do crosswords?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yes, I have been a bit of a folk musician in my time as well,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I can play harmonica and melodeon.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49And just to embarrass you with one more fact about you,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52you were at the same school as Paul McCartney and George Harrison,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- is that right?- Yes, not such a big deal, though.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57They were very little boys when I was a sixth-former,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00so they were out of my sight, really.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- But you were there all the same. - Interesting to think about it, yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- And Paul McCartney, he bought the school after.- Did he?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yes, and it's now a School for Performing Arts.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I've heard that, actually, yeah, yeah. Fascinating, Dave, isn't it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- It is, very much so.- OK, retired teacher and tourist guide, Frank,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- you can choose the first or second set of questions.- I think I'd like the first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Here we go and all the best to you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The best-selling 1996 novel by Rebecca Wells concerns
0:09:31 > 0:09:35The Divine Secrets Of The Sisterhood of which name?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well, I can't say I've met that one.
0:09:43 > 0:09:50Ga-Ga sounds a bit too much like a singer. I'll have to go for Na-Na.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56- Let's see if Dave knows. Dave? - I wouldn't know at all. Is it Ya-Ya?
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- It is Ya-Ya.- Oh, dear.- It's Ya-Ya. I didn't know. Did anyone here know?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- Anyone read it?- I'd heard of it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07It's called The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but what it's actually involved with...
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- You didn't find out what the secret was.- No. I didn't.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- Did they not make a film?- I think it was made into a film as well.- OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Tremendous knowledge, Dave.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22What relation was Frances Trollope,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25author of The Life And Adventures Of A Clever Woman
0:10:25 > 0:10:30to the more famous writer, Anthony Trollope?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I can't say I've ever heard this so I'm going to go daughter.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- No, mother.- Fair enough. - So we're equal.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Second question to you, Frank.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44The Roman poet, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known as Horace,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46lived during which century?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Well, by the 6th century, the Roman Empire was pretty well over.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I've a feeling he was around, well,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08not quite in the time of Julius Caesar, that was...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm pretty sure he was AD.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So I'll go with 3rd century AD.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Actually, 1st century BC is the answer. 1st century BC.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Dave, your question. Jean Loup Sieff, who died in 2000,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31was a leading figure in which of the arts?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Again, I've not really got an idea on this at all, but something's ringing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Photography's hitting me at the moment so I'll go photography.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48And you're right, actually, it is photography.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53OK, Frank, you need to get this one right to stay in the match.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57In January 2012, which artist joined the Order of Merit?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08David Hockney has been highly reputed.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I don't think Damien Hirst.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16They're all three very noted and doing very well.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I think I'll have to go for David Hockney.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Well done, David Hockney is quite right. So you're equal.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Equal on one point but if you get this, Dave,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29you're through to the final. The painter, Dora Carrington, had a long relationship
0:12:29 > 0:12:32with which writer before his death in 1932?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Again, I've not heard of this but I'm just trying to go on dates.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49His death in 1932. Kipling won the Nobel Prize for Literature
0:12:49 > 0:12:53in 1907, so how long after that did he die?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- You know what, Rudyard Kipling. - Daphne?- Lytton Strachey.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Lytton Strachey is the answer.- Fair enough.- So we go to sudden death.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06One point each after three questions.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08And, Frank, it's a bit harder now
0:13:08 > 0:13:11because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14George Wickham appears in which Jane Austen novel?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Pride and Prejudice. - Pride and Prejudice is correct.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Well done, Frank.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Dave, the phrase "Hoist with your own petard"
0:13:25 > 0:13:29is adapted from a line in which of Shakespeare's plays?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I don't know. So I've only got 37 to pick from.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Hoist with your own petard?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I don't know. Romeo and Juliet?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46No, it's... Anyone know?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Hamlet.- Hamlet is the answer. - Fair enough. Well done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Which had a whole load of others. It had "Send him packing" as well.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Loads and loads of quotes. - So many of the idioms. Yeah, yeah.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Anyone know what a petard is? Anyone know?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Frank, do you know what a petard is? - Yes, it was a land mine.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And if you weren't careful,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05you got blown up with your own petard.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07That's exactly right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Petard was a small explosive device for blowing doors off,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15from the French 'peter', to break wind. How about that?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20And Hamlet says, "For 'tis the sport to have the engineer hoist with his."
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- I won't say that you've been hoisted here, Dave.- I think you can.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I've been hoisted and I ought to brush up
0:14:27 > 0:14:31more on my Shakespeare, I think, to compete in these rounds.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Well done to my opponent, worthy winner.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36So you are knocked out and Frank, well done,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38you stay in the game there, very bravely.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And you are now in the final round.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Well, Tony, that's a good start. - Yes, excellent start.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You've cracked two eggs.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53It was interesting, Frank, because he really is very knowledgeable
0:14:53 > 0:14:57and I thought he had a couple of stinkers, and then when the Jane Austen came up
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I thought, yes, that's right up Frank's street,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- so we're very pleased with that. - Frank, you did very well there.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Thank you.- So you're still in it, very much so.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13How many games start like that? The next subject is Sport.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- Have you got a sport person. - We have. Bryn.- Bryn, OK.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- What you want to do, Chris or Daphne? - Who do you fancy?- Chris, I think.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- You think so?- Chris.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28OK, so it's Bryn from The Hole In The Wall Gang versus Chris on Sport.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- No Judith today.- No. Won the last one, I might tell you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Yes, he won his last four. That's fighting talk.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Please go to the question room now.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Bryn, you can choose the first or second set of questions
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- to see if you can get to the final. - Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So, here we go. Good luck.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Which male tennis player ended 2011 ranked No. 1 in the world?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I'm sure that Murray has never been number one.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Federer certainly has.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I think the answer is Novak Djokovic.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Djokovic was the right answer, Bryn, well done. Over to Chris.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Freddie Roach became famous as a coach of world champions in which sport?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, you don't have a coach in boxing, you have a trainer,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30rather than a coach.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Golf is something you work at and practise on your own,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40out there, wasting your time
0:16:40 > 0:16:43punting a stupid little ball about in an artificial landscape.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47But I should think if you wanted to improve your game in snooker,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51you might engage a coach, so I'll say snooker.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I have a feeling that Dave is going to disagree.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Tremendous knowledge?- Yes, he works with a lot of boxers in America.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59It's boxing.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Coaching, you'd think of boxing rather than snooker,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05wouldn't you, Chris, or not?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Well, I'd say boxing trainers rather than coaches.- I see, I see.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Boxing is the answer so you've fallen behind.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- This is really not going the Eggheads' way at all.- No.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Bryn, which Rugby Union player, nicknamed Alfie,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19won 100 caps for Wales?
0:17:24 > 0:17:29He later switched to Rugby League. The answer is Gareth Thomas.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33It is, of course, Gareth Thomas. Well done.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You are a Welsh team, essentially, aren't you?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- We are indeed.- It would be stunning if you got that wrong.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Chris, if you don't get this right you're going to be out.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48What is the width in metres of a goal in Olympic handball?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Err...
0:17:53 > 0:17:58What is the width in metres of a goal in Olympic handball?
0:17:58 > 0:18:0310 ft, 14 ft... 22 ft...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Down the middle. Five.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Anyone know here? - 3?- Three, they're saying.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Three is the right answer, Chris. Chris, I'm sorry, you're out.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22- You've been knocked out. Is that painful?- I'm way past pain, Jeremy.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24The answer was three. Well done to you, Bryn,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28you've won through on Sport so you've taken three rounds in a row, you challengers.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32This is looking very impressive now. Please come back, rejoin your teams.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, as it stands the challengers have lost no brains
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and the Eggheads have lost three brains from the final round,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and the last subject for you is Music.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Now who would like Music? - Ralph?- Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Ralph, very decisive on it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Which Egghead would you like to tap with a teaspoon?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54I'll take Barry, yep.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Right, Ralph from The Hole In The Wall Gang
0:18:56 > 0:19:00versus Barry from the Eggheads on Music, please take your positions.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So I'm going to ask each of you three questions on music in turn
0:19:05 > 0:19:08and Ralph, you can choose the first or the second set of questions?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Second set, please.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Second set. So Barry, you're bringing up the rear here.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Something like that.- Defending the rear flank of the Eggheads.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23This is a really interesting game. Here's your question.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Which British female artist released her debut album,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Who You Are, in 2011?
0:19:34 > 0:19:362011...
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Oh, I really don't know this one. I've never heard of Anna Calvi.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48And I've only just heard of Lana Del Rey.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Jessie J had a good year in 2011,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57I'm wondering did she start a little bit earlier?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I think it's between Jessie J and Lana Del Rey.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I think Jessie J was around just a little bit earlier,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08so on that basis, I know Lana Del Rey started in 2011,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10so I'll go for Lana Del Rey.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Is there something in the water today?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's not Lana Del Rey, it's Jessie J.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18This is great, it's like watching a tenpin bowling alley
0:20:18 > 0:20:22where all the skittles keep being set up horizontally.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26You've not even have to say anything yet, Ralph, you're already ahead.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31In which decade did The Jam have their first UK Top 40 single?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I think the '70s is too early. '90s is too late. I'll go for 1980s.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43No, it was the '70s.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It was the '70s. It might have even been as early as '76 or '77.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- '77.- It was In The City, wasn't it? - Yes, it was.- Haha, you and me, Dave!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I know. Similar generation, I think.- Same music.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01OK, Barry, which part of the UK is mentioned
0:21:01 > 0:21:03in the Beatles song When I'm 64?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Gosh, that is such a well-known song.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I never realised it mentioned a part of the UK in it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I can't get past the first verse. This is a shame.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It's...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It's the Isle of Wight. - How did you get to that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I finally got past the first verse! - What was the line?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Did you get the line? - I can't know but I remember
0:21:34 > 0:21:36that it scanned with the Isle of Wight.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39You're right as well. Well done, Barry. Isle of Wight is right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So Barry is in the lead. Back to you, Ralph.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Which band won the Mercury Music Prize in 1994
0:21:44 > 0:21:52with the album Elegant Slumming?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Can't say I've even heard of the album. I'll just say Pulp.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58No, it's not Pulp, it's M People.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, Barry, you've got a chance to go into the final now
0:22:01 > 0:22:03if you get this one right.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The military march written in 1897 by Julius Fucik,
0:22:07 > 0:22:12traditionally associated with circus clowns, is called Entry Of The what?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I think it goes # Da-da da-da-da-da da-da-daa-da. #
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I think it's the Entry Of The Gladiators.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26We should have that music for you, Eggheads, although possibly not this afternoon.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Gladiators is correct.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So, I'm so thrown by what's happened I don't know what to say.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36You've actually got your place in the final, Barry.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Ralph, sorry, Barry has triumphed here so there will be two Eggheads
0:22:40 > 0:22:43in the final round and you have been knocked out, but it doesn't detract
0:22:43 > 0:22:48from a great team performance and let's see what happens in the final.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Well, what a game so far. This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55It is time now for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:57 > 0:22:59won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So that's Ralph, from The Hole In The Wall Gang,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and Kevin, David and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Would you please now leave the studio.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, Tony, I know a lot of you will be watching and saying, "How did you do that?"
0:23:13 > 0:23:16because we don't often have that many Eggheads backstairs.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Well, I think we had some good choices of subjects,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23and we got our big hitters up for those and,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25sadly, had to sacrifice Ralph a bit.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Well, The Hole In The Wall Gang have certainly taken a lump
0:23:29 > 0:23:32out of the Eggheads. And Tony, Frank, Bill and Bryn,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36you're playing to win the gang £2,000 now.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Daphne and Barry, you're playing for something that money can buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46This time, the questions are all general knowledge
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Tony, Frank, Bill and Bryn, the question is,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That really is a good question.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Looking forward to this. Good luck, guys.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10According to the ancient Greek scientist Empedocles,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13all things were made from earth,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16water, air and which other ingredient?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Fire, wood or ice. It's not going to be wood, is it?- Fire, definitely.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24And it's not going to be ice. Fire is what I thought.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26So are we happy with that? Fire?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Fire, Jeremy.- Fire is correct.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Eggheads, what term was widely used in the 1990s to describe dishonest
0:24:35 > 0:24:37or disreputable political activity?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43EGGHEADS CHUCKLE
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- It could be any of them, but it must be sleaze!- Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's sleaze.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Sleaze is correct. Well done. Back to you, Hole In The Wall Gang.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Which pop star of the 1980s provided the intro
0:24:57 > 0:25:02and outro voice for the children's television programme, Teletubbies?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I have no idea. Music, no idea.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- I never heard a song. - Was it 1980s, Jeremy?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Which pop star of the 1980s provided the intro
0:25:19 > 0:25:23and outro voice for the children's television programme, Teletubbies?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25My guess would be Toyah Willcox.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I don't think it's Hazel O'Connor because she had that...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I would say Toyah Willcox, yeah.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33She has that sort of voice that would be nice for a children's programme.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- My guess would be Toyah Willcox. - I'm happy with that, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, we don't really know, but we don't think it's Hazel O'Connor,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41so it's Carol Decker or Toyah
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and we think Toyah Willcox has got that sort of voice,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45so that's what we'll go for.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Toyah Willcox is the right answer. Very good.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I thought you were going to stumble there, actually.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55OK, Eggheads, which actress is portrayed by Judi Dench
0:25:55 > 0:25:57in the 2011 film, My Week With Marilyn?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09This is one of those films I meant to see and never got around to seeing.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I think it's Peggy Ashcroft. I don't know.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18I've nothing to offer on this one. Who made more films around that time?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Peggy Ashcroft.- I think Peggy Ashcroft. I'm happy with that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Right. OK. We don't know. Neither of us has seen the film.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Kevin ought to be here. Peggy Ashcroft.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- How about you guys, do you know?- Sybil Thorndike.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Sybil Thorndike's the right answer. You got it wrong.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- It's not Peggy Ashcroft. - We didn't know.- Sybil Thorndike.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Have you seen the film?- Yes.- Right.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47So, if you get this correct, you will have three points.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51There's no way back for them. So you've won.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53And you will have beaten them.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Here's your question. Where is the Firefly estate,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02that was once owned by the actor, writer and composer, Noel Coward?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Jamaica.- My first thought, it was Jamaica.- Yes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The West Indies, isn't it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15We're not thinking of James Bond, are we, Fleming?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18But the name Firefly, you wouldn't get them in Switzerland or Norfolk?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21No, well, probably, yes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25That would be the scientific logic and Jamaica is what we think anyway.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30We don't know for certain but we think it's Jamaica.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Jamaica is your answer. If you've got it right,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37you've taken the contest after some stunning play throughout, may I say.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I think you know the answer, Eggheads, don't you?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It is Jamaica, so we say congratulations, challengers.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- You've won.- Brilliant.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Out of interest, Eggheads in the background,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- did you know the Sybil Thorndike answer?- Yeah, I've seen the film.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Kevin's seen the film. It's an absolute masterclass
0:28:00 > 0:28:04in Eggheads strategy, this particular match.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So we say well done on all counts.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I don't know who was running the programme there
0:28:08 > 0:28:10but it certainly worked.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You've won £2,000, Hole In The Wall Gang,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You have proved they can be beaten.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:22 > 0:28:26will be just as successful and as canny as The Hole In The Wall.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Until then, goodbye.
