0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 where 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on our quiz champions today are the Old Salts.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41This team of salty old sea dogs are members of the Goring 10 sailing club.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm John.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47I'm 64 and run my own medical equipment supply company.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Emrhys. I'm 64 and I sell electric boats.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Michael. I'm 71. I'm a retired lecturer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Jill. I'm 46.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00I'm a biostatistician working in medical research.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Matthew. I'm 52 and I'm Managing Director
0:01:03 > 0:01:06of a process improvement consultancy company.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- John and team, welcome. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So you are sailors and you sail your own boats?- We do.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14We sail sailing dinghies on the River Thames at Goring.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Tell us why that's such a joyful way to spend the day?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21It's just so relaxing and when you're out there sailing,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24you can't worry about anything else than trying to get round the course
0:01:24 > 0:01:26as fast as you can and beat the rest of this lot.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31And, of course, those instincts will come in handy against the Eggheads.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, we certainly hope so.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35So if this starts to go wrong,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39what tactics have you got in your back pocket? Can you repel boarders?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, we'll certainly go down fighting.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- And you don't mind being referred to as salty old sea dogs?- Not at all.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53that prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, Old Salts, the Eggheads have won the last eight games
0:01:56 > 0:01:59which means £9,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Shall we get the boats out? - Absolutely.- All right,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Politics.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Who wants this?- Politics. I believe that's Emrhys.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Not really, I'm Geography.- Oh, you're Geography. I beg your pardon.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- It's you, Jill, I think. - No, it's definitely not me.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20OK, guys, if you can't make up your minds, I'll have to make them up for you. Michael, you're on Politics.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- OK, captain.- Michael, before you go, just tell us which Egghead.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What do you think, John?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Oh, now, how about the unknown quantity of Tremendous Knowledge Dave, I think.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- How about that, Dave? - Well, we'll have a go.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I don't play Politics much so we'll see.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38A trip into the unknown this, for me.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42So it is Michael from the Old Salts versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave
0:02:42 > 0:02:44from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Michael, what was your job before you retired?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I was a lecturer in chemistry.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And since retiring, I know you've done a lot of travelling.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Give us a few countries.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03I've been to Bhutan, Iran, Ethiopia, Argentina, Bolivia,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- and we've been to the Antarctic. - Goodness!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08What a wonderful itinerary.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10It's nice to be retired, you can do what you like.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13If you've got the funds, you can do it. Absolutely right.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Good luck here. This is Politics
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and you can choose whether you want the first or the second set
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- of multiple-choice questions. - I'll go first, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Here we go, Michael. What name is given to the special rights
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and immunities of members of the Houses of Parliament,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31such as the right to freedom of speech in Parliament
0:03:31 > 0:03:32without fear of legal action?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Um, I don't think it can be Westminster Carte Blanche.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44That sounds a bit French.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Ministerial Freedom, it's not for ministers,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48so I'll go for Parliamentary Privilege.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Parliamentary privilege is quite right. Well done.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55what name was given to the controversial parties
0:03:55 > 0:04:00allegedly attended by the Italian politician, Silvio Berlusconi?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06CHUCKLES
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Oh, deary me.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Conga Conga and Manga Manga?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm going Bunga Bunga.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Bunga Bunga is the right answer.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20OK. Michael, your question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Which high-profile US politician was expelled from Harvard University
0:04:23 > 0:04:28for cheating although he was later readmitted to complete his degree?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I don't... One would have thought
0:04:35 > 0:04:38George W Bush didn't actually go to university.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I think that was Edward Kennedy.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I didn't know this fact about him but it was indeed Edward Kennedy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45The late Edward Kennedy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49An awful lot of untoward events in his life. OK.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52This is your question now, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Which MP reportedly turned down her nomination for the famous
0:04:55 > 0:04:58'Rear of the Year' award in 2012?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04CHUCKLES
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I've got no idea. Um...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Funnily enough, I can't even begin to start trying
0:05:11 > 0:05:13to apply any kind of logic to this
0:05:13 > 0:05:16in terms of the particular subject matter.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I'm just going to have to take a guess. I'll go for Louise Mensch.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Nicely done. It's the right answer. - I don't know how it's been done!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Louise Mensch is right, so back to you, Michael.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Playing well, both of you, two points each.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Michael, David and Ed Miliband's father,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33a noted political theorist, was known by what first name?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Um...
0:05:37 > 0:05:44Not sure about this. James doesn't sound right. I'll go for Ralph.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Ralph Miliband it was. Well done.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51OK...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Tremendous Knowledge Dave, this to stay in.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Mike Huckabee, a one-time seeker of the Republican Party's presidential nomination,
0:05:58 > 0:06:03was the governor of which US state between 1996 and 2007?
0:06:08 > 0:06:101996 and 2007?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Arkansas, obviously Bill Clinton was governor there
0:06:14 > 0:06:17just before he became president in the '90s,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21so I would have thought that would have stayed Democrat.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'm more inclined to go with Alabama as a Republican state,
0:06:26 > 0:06:31so Alabama is my answer but with no certainty at all.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Let's see if Michael knows. Do you know, Michael?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Tennessee?- It's actually Arkansas. So Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39your knowledge there was not quite tremendous enough.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Not good enough, no. - You've been knocked out. Michael, you're in the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Good start for the Sea Dogs.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47After all that kerfuffle over who does politics, Michael,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I bet you're pleased you did. - Yes, I am!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53All right, both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56As it stands, the challengers have started rather well.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57They've not lost a brain.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The Eggheads have lost one from that crucial final round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Our next subject for you is Music, so who would like this?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Music?- If I remember rightly, that was Matthew.- I think it's Matthew.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- OK, we've got the plans coming together now.- The plans are.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- There's no knowledge there!- So who would you like to set sail against?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Well, it has to be Kevin.- For the sheer thrill?- The sheer thrill.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27He's done so much music recently, it's really a strange thing.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Four on the trot. - One of these things.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, Matthew, from the Old Salts versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34please take your positions.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38So I'm going to ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and Matthew, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Here we go then with your first one.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53"Goodbye, Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all"
0:07:53 > 0:07:55are the opening words of which song?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05It's a very easy question. I won't beat about the bush.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- It's Candle In The Wind.- It is Candle In The Wind by Elton John.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Kevin, here's your question. Where was the pop singer Adele born?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Unless there's a curve to this,
0:08:22 > 0:08:23as far as I'm aware she's a London girl.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27She went to the BRIT Academy, I believe, in London,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31not that that's a guarantee. But no, London.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35London is the right answer, Kevin. Right, back to you, Matthew.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The jazz musician Grover Washington Jr
0:08:38 > 0:08:41was best-known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm almost certain it's not the piano.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Grover Washington Jr...
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- I'm going to say saxophone.- Saxophone is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Two to you. Over we go to Kevin.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04They Say It's Wonderful and Moonshine Lullaby are songs from which musical,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07first performed on Broadway in 1946?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Right... seems a bit early for,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I mean, I don't know it immediately, um,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22seems a bit early for Paint Your Wagon.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Calamity Jane was made into a film in about '53.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Annie Get Your Gun was made into a film in about 1950.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I think Annie Get Your Gun is slightly earlier than Calamity Jane.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I'll try Annie Get Your Gun. - You've got it right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well done, Annie Get Your Gun it is.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Matthew, which singer had UK number one albums
0:09:49 > 0:09:53called Confessions, 8701 and Here I Stand?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I am familiar with the work of none of them.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Here I Stand is ringing some bells. I'm fairly sure it's not Kanye West.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Um, I'm going to say Usher.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Is he right, Kevin?- I thought it was Kanye West, but I'm not sure.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Tremendous Knowledge Dave? - I think it's Usher.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Usher is the right answer, Matthew.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30As soon as you said it was Kanye West, Kevin,
0:10:30 > 0:10:31I knew that Matthew was right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40Semiramide is a two-act opera first performed in 1823 by which composer?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It's Rossini.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Rossini is the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, you've got equal points.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Three each after three questions
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and that means we go to Sudden Death. Matthew, here we go.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00It's a very powerful Egghead you're trying to knock out.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It's a bit harder now, because I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Here's your first one. Which 1968 UK top 10 single for Donovan
0:11:08 > 0:11:13was inspired by the sister of the fashion model, Pattie Boyd?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Pattie Boyd figures a lot around that period, doesn't she?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20She was the subject of Layla.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35It wasn't Starry Starry Night, by any chance, was it? Um...
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Um...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Vincent.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The woman's name was Jenny and the song was,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46you'll kick yourself for this, Jennifer Juniper.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- # Jennifer Juniper. # That one. - I remember.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Someone here was humming it. You got that, John.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I heard the tune drift across the studio.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58OK, Kevin, if you get this one right, you are in the final round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Atlantic Crossing and A Night On The Town were UK number one albums
0:12:03 > 0:12:06for which singer born in London in 1945?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Rod Stewart.- Rod Stewart is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You've triumphed on Music.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Matthew, sorry, you've been knocked out by Kevin. But bravely fought.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Both of you, please, rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So, as it stands the challengers have lost one brain,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23the Eggheads have also lost a brain,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25so very evenly matched at this stage.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27The next subject is Film and Television.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Which of you would like this? - I think that was...- It's me.- Jill.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Which Egghead, Jill?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Chris is probably your best bet.- OK, all right.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm assured it's Chris, so I would like to challenge Chris.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Jill from the Old Salts versus our own old salt, Chris.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51So what is your role with the sailing club, Jill?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, for my sins, this year and next year I'm the Commodore
0:12:54 > 0:12:58which means I'm in charge, but mainly means organising an awful lot
0:12:58 > 0:13:01of social events and the open day and other things like that,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- trying to get people to volunteer to help as well.- Which is always tricky.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- It certainly is.- And George Michael ran into you once, not literally.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Not literally but I did end up sailing past him
0:13:14 > 0:13:15as I was doing my safety boat training.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I was covered in water, covered in pond weed,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21not exactly looking my best but he said we'd been very entertaining
0:13:21 > 0:13:23as he'd had his lunch watching us train.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Well, if he's watching maybe he'll now join up with the Goring club.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- How about that?- That would be great publicity, definitely!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So each of you get three questions on Film and Television.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Jill, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'd like the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Here we go. All the best.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Which comedian was known for his comically inept piano playing?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, I learned the piano as a child and my parents quite often
0:13:53 > 0:13:56said I was a bit like this gentleman, so I'll plump straight for him.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- It's Les Dawson.- Les Dawson.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- That's a kind comment by your mum and dad(!)- They were very kind.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06OK, Chris, your question.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Which actor joined the cast of the US TV sitcom
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Two And A Half Men in 2011, playing the role of Waldon Schmidt?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Yes, isn't he the replacement for Charlie Sheen,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28who fairly seriously blotted his copybook?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Um...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I don't think it's Ashton Kutcher,
0:14:32 > 0:14:33a bit of a pretty boy, by all accounts.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And I've never heard of Seann William Scott.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So I'll go with Ryan Reynolds.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41OK, Ryan Reynolds. I like the idea
0:14:41 > 0:14:43that because he is "a bit of a pretty boy",
0:14:43 > 0:14:45he can't be allowed on television.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Was that your reason for ruling him out?- Yeah.- Haha!
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- It is Ashton Kutcher. - Oh, right, OK.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Sorry, Chris, you were wrong there.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Jill, this is good. You're in the lead.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59In Coronation Street, who was publicly revealed
0:14:59 > 0:15:04to be the father of Tracy Barlow's daughter, Amy, in 2004?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Well, she tried blaming various people beforehand,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15so she could well have tried all of those,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- but the person she actually named was Steve McDonald.- Very good indeed.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It is Steve McDonald.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Whenever I ask a question like that, I think you've either got it
0:15:25 > 0:15:29or you haven't with Coronation Street, you either know or you don't. Well done, Jill.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Chris, who plays Bella Swan
0:15:31 > 0:15:34in the 2009 film The Twilight Saga: New Moon?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Another choice of three American Z-Listers. Um...
0:15:47 > 0:15:52It's not Kirsten Dunst, and I don't think it's Katherine Heigl.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- It's Kristen Stewart. - Kristen Stewart is the right answer.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Right, Jill, this is good. If you get this one right, you've knocked Chris out.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Who directed the 2011 film, Drive, starring Carey Mulligan
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and Ryan Gosling?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I think this one might have stumped me. Um...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I've actually not heard of any of them, unfortunately,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23so I will take a guess at...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Tomas Alfredson.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Let's see if the Eggheads know. Do you know, guys?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- It's Refn, Nicolas Winding Refn. - It's Nicolas Winding Refn.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Danish guy. So a chance for Chris to catch up.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Who did Alfred Hitchcock repeatedly describe as "the only actor
0:16:42 > 0:16:44"I ever loved in my whole life?"
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, James Stewart was in Rope.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Anthony Perkins was in Psycho.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Cary Grant was in North by Northwest.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08And I think the only actor he ever loved in his life was Cary Grant.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Cary Grant is correct, Chris. You're back in it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's Sudden Death now, Jill.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14We go to a slightly harder phase,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18because I don't give you alternative answers. Ready to roll?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21The Rotten Apple was a famous 1956 episode
0:17:21 > 0:17:24of which long-running TV police drama?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Um...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'm going to plump for Z-Cars.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's kind of one or the other and it's the other.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35It's Dixon Of Dock Green.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So if you get this one right, Chris, you're in the final round.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42What was the name of the 1990s TV series
0:17:42 > 0:17:46that starred Richard Griffiths as a detective turned restaurateur
0:17:46 > 0:17:47named Henry Crabb?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Yes, one wonders why an active detective
0:17:51 > 0:17:53would be allowed umpteen weeks' time off
0:17:53 > 0:17:55to run a restaurant but it was Pie In The Sky.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Pie In The Sky is the right answer. Chris, you're in the final round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Sorry, Jill, just beat you at the end there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03So you've been knocked out.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Both of you, please, come back to the studio and rejoin your teams.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round
0:18:13 > 0:18:16and the last subject before the final is Arts and Books.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- It looks like it's you, Emrhys.- Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:26By process of elimination it has to be me. I will try Daphne, I think.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Daphne, so Emrhys from the Old Salts against Daphne,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- a very young salt on the Eggheads side.- Thank you!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So, Emrhys, you're very big into electric boats?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41That's right. Yes, Jeremy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And you've got some kind of amazing record?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Well, we set an endurance record to show that electric boats
0:18:47 > 0:18:50aren't things that just run for a couple of hours.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55We did 137 miles up and down the Thames in 30 hours, non-stop.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Wow, so you just charge that off a car battery or something?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Not a car battery. 24 very large batteries.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Is that the future, do you think? - It would be good if it was.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09It's going that way with cars. It should be the same with boats.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, you've managed not to be chosen up until this point
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- so good luck in this round. - OK, thank you.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Three questions for you on Arts and Books and, Emrhys,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19you can choose the first or the second set.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Here we go. The Bezukhovs and the Bolkonskys
0:19:28 > 0:19:31are two of the central families in which novel?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Hmm... Well, it sounds...
0:19:39 > 0:19:43It sounds eastern European, so I would have to say War And Peace.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45War And Peace is quite right.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Daphne, over to you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The phrases "murder most foul" and "what dreams may come"
0:19:52 > 0:19:54are from which Shakespeare play?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Hamlet.- Hamlet is the correct answer.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK, Emrhys, over to you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08In the Blandings books by PG Woodhouse,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11who is the owner of Blandings Castle?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Um...
0:20:18 > 0:20:22I would say it was Lord Emsworth.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Well done. You're quite right. Lord Emsworth it was.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29An easy one to get wrong.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33OK, Daphne, the novel The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie is primarily set
0:20:33 > 0:20:36in an Edinburgh school during which decade of the 20th century?
0:20:43 > 0:20:48It's going to have to be a guess but I would guess the 1930s.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55The 1930s. Chris says yes, very strongly. 1930s is the right answer.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57OK, back to you, Emrhys.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00The Duchess of Alba and The Marquesa De La Solana
0:21:00 > 0:21:04are subjects of portraits by which Spanish artist?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Hmm...
0:21:10 > 0:21:15I would, I'm not going to be confident on this one. Um...
0:21:16 > 0:21:21I would say Velazquez.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Now I heard someone on your team say something else.- Goya.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Goya is the answer, yeah. - That was going to be my other choice.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Sorry, not Velazquez, but Goya.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So you have a chance now, Daphne, to take the round.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Southern Mail, Night Flight
0:21:36 > 0:21:40and Flights to Arras are works by which French author?
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Sorry, I'm just trying to have a think. Um...
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I don't think it's Camus.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I hope everybody's not sort of hitting the deck.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I'm going to go for Antione de Saint-Exupery.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It is the answer. You've got it absolutely right, Daphne.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Antione de Saint-Exupery.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So you've done it, you've got the round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I was certainly you were going to Sudden Death,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- and Emrhys, she just suddenly whizzed past you.- Yeah.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- And I thought of Goya as well.- I'm really sorry.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Anyway, you won't be in the final, Daphne will.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29If you come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:37 > 0:22:39won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42so that's Emrhys, Jill and Matthew from the Old Salts,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44and Dave from the Eggheads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52John and Michael, you are playing to win the Old Salts £9,000.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Judith, Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you are playing
0:22:55 > 0:22:58for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04This time the questions are all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So, the Old Salts, the question is,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- We'll see.- Good luck. Get the boats out, get the gunships out.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And here we go. Do you want the first
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- or the second set of questions? - We'll go first, please.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And here is your first question. In the game of French cricket,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28bowlers attempt to hit which part of the batsmen's body with the ball?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- I think we are pretty sure on that one.- Yes, we are.- It's legs.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Legs is the right answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, Eggheads, the word Sweeney is a traditional slang term
0:23:42 > 0:23:45for members of which type of police unit?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Flying Squad.- Flying Squad.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53"It's the Sweeney, son and we haven't had any dinner
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- "because you've kept us waiting." - What did you say, Chris?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58"We're the Sweeney, son. We haven't had any dinner
0:23:58 > 0:24:01"cos you've kept us waiting, so if you don't want a kicking,"
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and that's Jack Regan and the Flying Squad.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Flying Squad.- Flying Squad's your answer. Yeah, you're right. OK.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11They're not always this dramatic, by the way.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You've done something to them. OK, your question.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16What animal's name is an old-fashioned term for money?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- I'm pretty sure that that's rhino. - Yes, I'm sure it's rhino as well.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- It's rhino, Jeremy.- It is rhino.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28They don't really say that any more, do they?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I haven't heard for quite a long time.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- People used the word rhino as the word for money?- Yeah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Give me some rhino?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38OK, Eggheads, by what name is the God, Bacchus, also known?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Dionysus, Judith.- That's Dionysus.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Dionysus is right. They don't muck around, that team.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So I would suggest, get this one right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54What is the approximate population of the Isle Of Man?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Have you any ideas, Michael? I'd go for the middle one.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I don't think it can be 850,000. That's far too many.
0:25:07 > 0:25:118,000, I think, is too small, so I think it's 85,000.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18- OK. I'll go with you. 85,000.- 85,000 is correct.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Playing really well, you two.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You've gone three questions without a problem,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25so let's see what happens here.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Each string on a harpsichord is plucked by a part with what name?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And if you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's not a bow.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Plectrum?- I thought it was a plectrum.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It plucks it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's a little piece of quill, actually, a bird's feather.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49So it plucks it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Shall we say plectrum?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56With a piano, it's hit. With a harpsichord, they're plucked.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm inclined to say plectrum.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05OK. 95%, plectrum.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The way Chris described it was almost as if he was playing
0:26:08 > 0:26:11a harpsichord as he said it, it was that real.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- You've seen it done?- Yeah.- You've seen someone with this little piece.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I've seen inside of a harpsichord. - You're certain it's a plectrum?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20That's what I'd call it because that's how you play a guitar string
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- and it's the same action.- If you're wrong, you've been defeated again.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The correct answer is plectrum. Well done, Chris.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31OK, so we go to Sudden Death. It's a bit exciting here.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Not everyone gets to Sudden Death in the final round. In fact, very few do.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38And it gets a bit tougher because I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43In 2010, Mary McKillop became the first person from which country to be canonised?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I've no idea.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Sounds Irish, doesn't it,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53but they must have had more people from Ireland before, surely?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Not necessarily canonised.- No.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think it's probably as good a bet as any.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We don't know but we'll try Ireland.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - Australia.- Australia is the answer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So that means that they can take the contest with this one question.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12On Sudden Death, Jackson Hole is a valley in which US state?
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- Wyoming.- Wyoming. Definitely. - Political meetings are held there.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23It's the site for a conference of political leaders.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Isn't there a golf course as well? - Might be, but it is Wyoming,
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- definitely.- Definitely Wyoming. We are all agreed it is Wyoming.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Wyoming is the correct answer. Congratulations, you have won.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47I sometimes wonder if getting beaten by the Eggheads is almost as much fun as winning.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Oh, yes, absolutely!
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Seeing them in their pomp. - That's right.- Indeed.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So, well done anyway for taking it this far. Commiserations to you.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them increasingly.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03And their winning streak continues. It does mean you won't be going home
0:28:03 > 0:28:07with the £9,000 so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Eggheads, very well done again. Who will beat you, I wonder?
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£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
