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 > 0:00:15arguably 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, where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Bottle Kickers from South Leicestershire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now this team are all participants
0:00:38 > 0:00:40in the ancient sport of bottle kicking,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44a tradition which dates back to the Middle Ages. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 53 and I'm a company chairman.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Adam, 24 years old and an IT manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Steve, 36, a connectivity system tester.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 53 years old and I'm a design draughtsman.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Steven, I'm 38 years old and I'm a history teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Chris and team, welcome.- Thank you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Bottle kicking, I gather, is not a bottle.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15- No, it's actually a barrel, Jeremy. - And you have one here.- Yes, I do.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16So what do you do with this barrel
0:01:16 > 0:01:18when it comes out on an Easter Monday?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21This particular barrel, Jeremy, is filled with ale,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and we have three of these barrels, we play with one at a time.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Two are filled with ale, one is solid wood, and it's
0:01:27 > 0:01:31just like a massive rugby scrum with maybe 100, 200 on each team.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34When you move it around, where are you trying to take it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Erm, our neighbours at the village of Hallarton
0:01:37 > 0:01:40basically have to get it down a hill and across a river,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and our team from Medbourne have to get it across
0:01:43 > 0:01:47two or three fields, hedges, barbed wire fences, etc.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- So it's just a massive ruck between two villages?- Exactly that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52It sounds fantastic!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Funnily enough, it's the kind of question
0:01:54 > 0:01:56that comes up on Eggheads the whole time, isn't it?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Where does bottle kicking happen? So now we know the answer is Hallarton.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Yes it is, in Hallarton. - And you'd like that question.- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07All right, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:07 > 0:02:08up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, Bottle Kickers, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Shall we start?- Yes.- Give it a try.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You can bring out the barrel if it gets nasty, OK?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and Television.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Who would like this?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31THEY CONFER
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Chris, are you the expert on...?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- You were going to do Geography, weren't you?- Adam? Steve?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Yeah, go on, Steve. - Yeah, we're going to choose Steve.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Steve, against which Egghead?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Which bottle would you like to kick? - What do we think?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Barry?- Yeah, sure. - Yeah, take on Barry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, Steve from the Bottle Kickers against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56This is the point where I'd like to say
0:02:56 > 0:02:59that my quiz team is called the Keg Busters.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And that looks suspiciously like a small keg to me.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04OK, to ensure there's no conferring
0:03:04 > 0:03:07please take your positions in our question room.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- So you're the Keg Busters, Barry? - Yes, indeed.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I've been a member of the Keg Busters team since 1984.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Is that because your quiz team has been busting kegs a lot?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20That could have a lot to do with it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22We tend to empty them rather than bust them.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Oh, I see, so you break them open in other words?- Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27OK, so Keg Busters, that's Barry,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29against Bottle Kickers, that's Steve,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32three multiple choice questions on Film and Television,
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Steve, I'll give you the chance to choose
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the first or second set of questions.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Which British actress played the title role
0:03:43 > 0:03:47in the 2011 US TV mini-series Mildred Pierce?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I've heard of this and I've got a feeling that she won
0:03:56 > 0:03:59an award for it, and I think it's Kate Winslet.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Nicely done, it is Kate Winslet, you're quite right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Would have been easy to go wrong on that one.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Here's your question, Barry.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Zara Brownless was the winner of which 2011 reality TV show?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oh, well, I watched some episodes of all of those,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20but the name seems to escape me for the moment.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm sure it wasn't The X Factor.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And I don't think it was Britain's Got Talent.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'm going to go for Young Apprentice.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Young Apprentice is the right answer, well done.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Over to you, Steve.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Who plays the title character in the 2007 superhero film Ghost Rider
0:04:39 > 0:04:40and its sequel?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Erm, I've not seen the film but I do remember seeing quite
0:04:48 > 0:04:52a lot of posters and advertising for it, and it's Nicolas Cage.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Nicolas Cage is correct, you're playing really well here.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- He knows his stuff, doesn't he, Barry?- He does indeed.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05The Pirates of the Caribbean films were inspired by and based on what?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It'd be an interesting fast food meal.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I've been on this ride, it's a theme park ride and it was in Disneyland,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20and a great deal of fun it was too, so the answer is theme park ride.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Theme park ride is the right answer, well done. OK, back to you, Steve.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29The political TV drama series Borgen is set in which country?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Erm, I've never heard of the programme,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and there's nothing that's coming to mind.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It sounds like it could be any of them.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Erm, I'm going to have to guess at Finland.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I'm sorry, it's not.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's part of this whole Danish invasion that's happened.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51The Killing was one of them and I think Borgen...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53what is Borgen, actually? Any Eggheads know?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's short for Christiansborg which is the building that contains
0:05:56 > 0:05:59the parliament, the prime minister's office
0:05:59 > 0:06:00and some other organs of government.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So it's a way of saying "Inside the Beltway?"
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's like saying Westminster almost.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Yeah, OK, so Denmark is the answer there, Steve, sorry.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Barry, your question, you'll be in the final if you get this right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15In the 1972 disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19what is the profession of the character played by Gene Hackman?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Ooh, I have to dredge this one up. This is from a long time back.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I have seen this film. Er...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I have seen it, trying to remember what Gene Hackman was.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I don't think he was a private investigator.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Could he be a TV announcer or a church minister?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It seems unlikely but I'm going to go for church minister.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Church minister is right, Barry, so you're in the final.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Steve, he's knocked you out. He got all three right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So now you have lost a brain, but don't worry, it's very early days.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03No need to get out the keg just yet.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06The next subject is Arts and Books, so who would like this?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10THEY CONFER
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Definitely Dave.- Dave?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Yes, go on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Dave? All right, giving it a go against...?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Anyone but Barry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- What do you think?- Erm... - Who d'you fancy?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Probably try Chris, please. - Chris, that good for you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Has to be, doesn't it? - How's the mood today, good?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Oh, the mood's good, yeah. - Great.- Ask me in ten minutes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Dave from the Bottle Kickers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- So, Dave, your job is draughtsman? - Design draughtsman, yes, Jeremy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Designing what kind of thing?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's basically overhead cranes and lifting equipment.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And then back at home, something a bit lighter,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52at least physically lighter, you love to read, I gather, biographies?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I like to read biographies and anything...encyclopaedias,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59that kind of thing, it's...my wife thinks I'm incredibly boring,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02but, you know, it leaves her alone to watch the TV.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I saw recently that the Encyclopaedia Britannica
0:08:04 > 0:08:07is not going to be printed anymore, it's just going to be online.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Really?- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11That's a shame, that'll make less room
0:08:11 > 0:08:13for dust on my bookshelves anyway.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Also something wonderful about old encyclopaedias, isn't there?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The things they say about computers in the 1950s or whatever?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Yeah, my mother has a complete edition of,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26I believe it's the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Volumes One to 12,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I think, and if you read them these days it's complete nonsense, really.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I mean, fair play to the people that wrote them all those years ago,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35but it just doesn't add up these days.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Really interesting looking back at that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Three questions on Arts and Books, Dave,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42and you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'd like the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Here we go, good luck.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The meditation teacher Paul Wilson found fame in the 1990s
0:08:52 > 0:08:55with his book called The Little Book Of...what?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04This is something I haven't had experience with.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Erm, Solitude seems to be standing out
0:09:08 > 0:09:11but I'm drawn towards Calm.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- No, I'm going to go with Solitude, Jeremy.- Let's see if your team know.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Do you know, guys? - ALL: It's Calm.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23They know it, it's Calm, Dave.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Sorry.- I should have stayed there. - Yeah. Chris, over to you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Who is the central character in the novel The Troubled Man,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32published in English in 2011?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Well, Hercule Poirot, he was created by Agatha Christie
0:09:40 > 0:09:43and there's been none written since she last wrote hers.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Piet Van Der Valk, I think, was Nicholas Freeling
0:09:46 > 0:09:47and there's not been any for a long time,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52but Kurt Wallander is the, er, gloomy Scandinavian detective
0:09:52 > 0:09:56with his own problems, so I'll have to say Kurt Wallander.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Kurt Wallander is the right answer, Chris.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Back to you, Dave.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05What is the title of Marc Camoletti's 1960s farce
0:10:05 > 0:10:08about a French architect's relationships
0:10:08 > 0:10:10with three airline flight attendants?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20He was a French writer, therefore,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Concorde-Concorde would be a possibility.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Boeing-Boeing...
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Airbus-Airbus is far too light.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Boeing-Boeing... I'm going to go, cos of the French connotation,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36with Concorde-Concorde.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Yeah, but I think Boeing-Boeing is the pun, isn't it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Boeing-Boeing is the answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46That was the title of Marc Camoletti's book.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Chris, the photographer Norman Parkinson famously
0:10:49 > 0:10:51specialised in which subject area?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Erm, Norman Parkinson, I seem to remember,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58was a fashion photographer.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Fashion.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Fashion is the right answer, Chris is through to the final.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Sorry, Dave, you've been knocked out there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You won't be helping your team in the final round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Please come back and we'll play on.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17the Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19and the next subject for you is Sport.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21So who would like this?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Maybe Adam.- Adam?- Adam. - Shall we give Adam a go? Yeah?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I'll take that, please, Jeremy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, and which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Erm, I think I'll take on Daphne, please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- There she is, looking, as always, happy, smiling.- Resigned.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Determined, I was going to say.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So it's Adam from the Bottle Kickers versus Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- So, Adam, I know you're Chris's son. - Yes.- And you work with your dad?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- I do.- And do you also kick bottles with your dad?- I do, yes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Erm, being from the area,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01you're brought up from an early age to get involved.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm sure at some point parents are a bit reluctant,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07but you're always...you try and get in from a young age, really.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Cos it sounds as if it might be quite dangerous.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Do people get stretchered off? - Oh, yeah, certainly.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17I mean, broken bones, certainly sprains and ligament damage,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19stuff like that's a common occurrence.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Sounds great!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It can be, not so great if you're on the wrong side of it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Did you do it last year?- Yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And was there a moment when the other village
0:12:29 > 0:12:33get the keg near the destination, somebody just runs and grabs it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Erm, it's generally quite a long process,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38depends how long it goes on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's not often that it breaks away from the pack
0:12:40 > 0:12:41and there's a runner,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44but yeah, it's normally just involved in the big scrum, really.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47What's the youngest age at which you can take part?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50There's not really any age limit, to be honest, it's just...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Cos you're 24, so you must be one of the youngest.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54You'd be surprised.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- There's some quite young 'uns in there.- Really?- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01It really sounds like a good day out, Daphne. D'you fancy it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I'd like to watch.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07I think if you took part, you would definitely get the keg.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn, and Adam,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12you can choose the first or the second set.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I think I'll go first, please.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Here we go. First question.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Who won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in December 2011?
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Erm, I believe all three of them were nominated.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Erm, but the winner was the cyclist Mark Cavendish.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Mark Cavendish is the right answer, well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Daphne, over to you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44What effect do snooker players aim to achieve by striking
0:13:44 > 0:13:47the lower half of the cue ball?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Erm, I don't know.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01It's not a foul, obviously, because they wouldn't aim to do that.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Kick?- Kick is your answer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09D'you know it's funny, I couldn't choose between kick and backspin.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14It's backspin. But who's a snooker player here? Anybody?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I played a little bit of snooker.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18So what is kick then if it's not that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20A kick isn't deliberately applied.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It's a kick when the snooker balls collide
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and bounce in an unexpected fashion.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's caused by static or something.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29It's very much unwanted, players get fed up
0:14:29 > 0:14:31when they get an unlucky kick.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34So it's to do with the impact of one ball on another. OK.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Adam, for what does the letter K stand in the name
0:14:37 > 0:14:43of the Eurasian Ice Hockey League, founded in 2008, the KHL?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Erm, ice hockey,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54tending to be from the States, America, Canada,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57it's generally a college sport.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Erm, I honestly haven't heard of them,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02so I would have to take a punt at Kollege, I think.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09No, it is Kontinental. Now what's going on there? Why the K?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Whose language?- It's in Eastern Europe and Russia.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- I think it's just a K from Russian. - Russian, there we are.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Kontinental is the answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19We have it on good authority from Pat
0:15:19 > 0:15:23that that looks very much like a Russian K.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25OK, Daphne, your question.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30What sport is played by the Belgian team Racing Club Genk?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Racing Club Genk. And Genk is spelt G-E-N-K.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- G-E-N-K.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Well, I can't see what Racing Club
0:15:47 > 0:15:52has to do with handball or volleyball,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55so I hope it's football.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59And you are right to hope that because it is football. Well done.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Football it is. So...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05one point each. Third question.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09In the mid-1980s, Jean-Marie Balestre became
0:16:09 > 0:16:12the president of which sport governing body, Adam?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Erm, I have to say, I don't recognise the name. Erm...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I know a little bit about rugby union
0:16:27 > 0:16:31and I haven't heard of that, so I think...
0:16:31 > 0:16:35it may be a wrong idea, but I might rule out rugby union.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I haven't heard of it associated with Formula One,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I think Bernie Ecclestone's been involved for quite a while
0:16:44 > 0:16:49and the FIA rule over the Formula 1 as the sporting body.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53So I think based on that I'll have to go with athletics, please.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Athletics is wrong, actually. It is Formula 1.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Cos it's mid-1980s so it must be even before Mosley, I guess.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Daphne, if you get this right,
0:17:04 > 0:17:05you're in the final.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10In what capacity did Constantine "Cus" D'Amato find fame?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Well, I haven't heard of him.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Erm,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27at a guess, he sounds like a boxing trainer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Is she right, guys? - ALL: Yes.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The challengers know that you're right,
0:17:33 > 0:17:34so boxing trainer it is.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Well done, Daphne, you've taken that round
0:17:36 > 0:17:38and you will be in the final.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Sorry, Adam, you got knocked out there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Please, both of you come back and we'll play the next round.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Chris, erm, change of plan?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Erm, well, we did have a game plan but, erm,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I think we'll revert to Plan B.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Does that involve finally producing the barrel and hurling it at them?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- I wouldn't like to say. - All right, we'll wait to see.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03The challengers have lost three brains,
0:18:03 > 0:18:04the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Will this final round turn it around?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The last subject is Geography.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Who wants this? - That's for you, Chris, innit?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Erm, yeah, shall I take geography then? OK.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16The team captain himself. OK, against which Egghead?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Dave or Pat?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- One end or the other?- I think we'll try Tremendous Dave, please.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, that's nice, Tremendous Dave,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- it's even better than Tremendous Knowledge.- Thank you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So it is Chris from the Bottle Kickers versus
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So on the Bottle Kicking, Chris, not meaning to go on,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42but we all want to know if there are points involved in this?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Er, the point is to win two barrels out of three, Jeremy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Oh, to get them to the village? - Yes, that's right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50So you have three barrels on the go
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and it's the team that gets the most barrels back?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55No, it's one at a time, Jeremy, so we play for one barrel first.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59When that one's won by whichever team,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01we then play for the second barrel.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And which village over the years... It's gone on since the Middle Ages,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Which village over the years has been the stronger?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Erm, it does vary.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Hallarton's unfortunately on a bit of a run at the moment
0:19:11 > 0:19:13but we'll get 'em this Easter Monday, don't worry about that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Chris, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'll stick with the rest of the team and I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, good luck getting some help into that final round.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31What name is given to an intense vortex in the shape
0:19:31 > 0:19:34of a column that occurs over water?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Right, I have come across this before.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'm pretty sure it's not waterspigot.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Erm...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I think it's waterspout, actually, Jeremy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Waterspout is the right answer. Very good.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Tremendous Knowledge Dave, here's your question.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59In 1998, the Royal Yacht Britannia
0:19:59 > 0:20:02became permanently moored in which city?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09You know what? I don't know. Should know this straight away.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Erm...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Where is it?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Don't know, ooh!
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I'm going to rule out Cardiff, but I don't like Edinburgh up there.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28Erm, hmm...let me have a think if I've seen it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'll go London.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Any Eggheads know? - Edinburgh.- Edinburgh.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37When did it go out of service, then, Eggheads? That year, was it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That was when she was decommissioned, yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Yeah, Edinburgh's the answer, Dave.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Back to you, Chris. You're in the lead.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Ryde is a seaside town on which British island?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Well, erm, being a well travelled man
0:20:55 > 0:20:59and having spent ten years in the Navy, I should know my geography.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I know it's definitely not the Isle of Sheppey.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Erm, so I think it's the Isle of Wight.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Isle of Wight is the correct answer.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Well done again, and you mentioned the Navy.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- I know you were in the Falklands War.- Yes, I was, Jeremy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15You had to put off your wedding for that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I did have to put off the wedding,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19but I still managed to find time for the bottle kicking.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK, Dave, your question.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Euboea is which country's second-largest island?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Right, I'm just having a think.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Er...
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I don't think it's Greece.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Er, now, you've got Sicily and Sardinia, so...
0:21:42 > 0:21:47I'm going to have to go Spain but with no kind of conviction at all.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49If you get this one wrong, I think you're out, Dave.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Yeah, I think I might be. - Cos he's got two and you've got...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- none, because it's Greece. - Yeah, fair enough.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Greece is the answer. So you've been knocked out.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Well done, Chris,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02you're going to get a bit of help for your team-mate in the final.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And if you both come back to us, we will play that crucial final round.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So, bit of a comeback from the challengers,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It is time for the final round which, as always,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15is General Knowledge, but I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:22:15 > 0:22:18your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So Adam, Steve and Dave from the Bottle Kickers
0:22:21 > 0:22:24and Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26would you please leave the studio?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Steven, did you stay out deliberately till this point?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- No, I'm afraid my subject didn't come up.- Which is?- Er, history.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Cos you're a teacher? - I'm a history teacher.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So you need some history questions.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Big problem if I get them wrong,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I could become a real laughing stock at work.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46All right, so difficult history questions where there's an excuse
0:22:46 > 0:22:48for getting them wrong. OK.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Chris and Steven, you are playing to win the Bottle Kickers £4,000.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something
0:22:55 > 0:22:57money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:02 > 0:23:04and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08So, Bottle Kickers, the question is, are your two brains better
0:23:08 > 0:23:11than the Eggheads' four, which you can see in front of you?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I think we'll stick with tradition and go first.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Here we go, good luck to you, three questions away from the jackpot.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Who would be most likely to work at a forge?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, tailor makes clothes. Draughtsman draws things, so...
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Got to be blacksmith. - Blacksmith, Jeremy.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Blacksmith is correct.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well done. First one right,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41that's always very, very handy. OK, Eggheads,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44according to the well-known sentence containing every letter
0:23:44 > 0:23:49in the alphabet, "The quick brown fox jumps over a..." what?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Has to be lazy dog.- Lazy dog.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58That's a lazy dog, Jeremy.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Lazy dog is the right answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02There is a name for a sentence that contains all
0:24:02 > 0:24:04the letters of the alphabet, it's called a pangram.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- A pangram.- Mm-hm.- OK.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Next question is for the Bottle Kickers.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14The marmoset is a type of monkey native to which region?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Ooh, dear. It's not the Americas, is it?- You sure?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- I'm sure it's not the Americas. - I don't think it's Australasia.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33So you've got South East Asia. D'you want to have a go at that?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- South East Asia, shall we go for it? - South East Asia, Jeremy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We had one like this the other day about the gibbon
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and they're very difficult questions.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Any Eggheads agree with that or disagree? Where would you say?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- I'd have said South East Asia. - No, I'd have said Americas.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- The Americas.- You think Americas, yeah. Americas is the right answer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's the Americas, not South East Asia for the marmoset.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So you may have let them in, let's see.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00The Triple Entente was a pre-World War One
0:25:00 > 0:25:03alliance between Britain, France and which country?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Russia?- Russia.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That was Russia, Jeremy.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It was indeed Russia.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17They've gone ahead, so you do need this one, guys,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20otherwise the contest is over.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Which song, a UK Top Five hit for Blondie in 1978,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28was originally written and recorded
0:25:28 > 0:25:30by the Los Angeles-based band the Nerves?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, it's more your era than mine.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43It is more my era and they are definitely all Blondie songs.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I've personally known Heart Of Glass, but...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I think we should take Heart Of Glass out
0:25:48 > 0:25:50cos I reckon that was number one.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I think it was definitely, erm, yeah.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- Los Angeles.- Is there a connotation with Union City Blue, with...?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- What, and Los Angeles?- Yeah, Los Angeles, d'you think, perhaps?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I don't, er...
0:26:09 > 0:26:10What do you think?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- I think it's the Telephone.- Do you?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Yeah, but I'm only having a stab in the dark.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20We've got a bit of a split decision here. Erm...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Shall we go for...?- You call.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Hanging On The Telephone, Jeremy.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Very good, you got it right.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Very good, and I love Blondie, but that is quite a hard question.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Well done. How did you decide to go for that one?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- I couldn't work it out. Instinct.- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43So, Eggheads, if you get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46If you get it right, you've won the contest
0:26:46 > 0:26:48because they dropped one earlier.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51What was the name of the Roman architect and engineer
0:26:51 > 0:26:54who wrote a handbook entitled De Architectura?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Vitruvius.- Absolutely.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Cato was a politician, Cincinnatus was an occasional general,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08and Vitruvius wrote the book about architecture, so it's Vitruvius.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10You sound worryingly certain.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- You can't just be uncertain, can you, for a while, or...?- No.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- You do think it is Vitruvius? - We think it's Vitruvius.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I fear it might be, don't you? - I do, yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Vitruvius is the right answer, Eggheads,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26so we say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It's been great finding out about bottle kicking,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I'm tempted to say this is the moment for...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39we'll decide it on the keg.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- That's how we'll do it.- OK.- But I hope you've enjoyed the contest.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Very much, thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Been great to see you and we'll get the other village in
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and see how they do, shall we?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Er, no!- Commiserations to you, challengers.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You fought hard but the Eggheads have done
0:27:54 > 0:27:55what comes naturally to them.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58They still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You're putting a bit of a streak back together now,
0:28:00 > 0:28:01having had a bumpy patch.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04That means you won't be going home with the £4,000
0:28:04 > 0:28:07so that money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:13 > 0:28:15have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18£5,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
