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, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Now, this family and friends team all quiz together at their local,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The Cleveland, in Redcar.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, I'm Gordon, I'm 65
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and I am a retired offshore gas production operator.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I'm Alan, I'm 69, I'm a retired offshore production operator.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Peter, I'm 62
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I am a retired engineer from the steel industry.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Mandy, I'm 49 and I'm a nurse.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Vincent, I'm 51 and I'm a retired tax inspector.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Gordon's team, welcome. Good to see you. So The Cleveland is your pub?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10It is, yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It's just your typical, good local pub with good beer
0:01:14 > 0:01:18and a very good quiz on a Wednesday evening, which we go to.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Sounds like the quiz is more important than the beer.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Oh, no, the beer is brewed on the premises!- Oh, OK, fine.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25OK, I stand corrected.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Gordon, you've got a bit of Mastermind history, I gather.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33Yes, I've been on a couple of times - 1986 and 2004.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Right, and how did you do? - Not as good as these guys.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I have got an average score of 24,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42but it was never good enough to progress to the next round.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44OK, but you are a quizzer, I can tell.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, good luck to you, Clevelanders.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last ten games,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02which means £11,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05You flinched when I said that, Alan. Is that bad news, ten?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- THEY LAUGH - Not enough, or too many?
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- It doesn't look good! - You mean they're on a streak?- Yes!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Well, you've got to bring a stop to it, in whatever way you can.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Who would like this?- I think we decided that's going to be Vincent.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yes, I don't know if I'd like it, but I've been chosen!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK, Vincent, and against which Egghead?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28They're all sitting there grinning in that fatal way.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Can we choose Chris, or...? - Choose who you like.- Chris?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I think you want to take Chris on in History, don't you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Not particularly.- OK, take Chris. - I choose Chris.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK, Vincent from The Clevelanders versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Let's talk about music, Vincent.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50You like a whole load of different music, I understand.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I like reggae, I like folk music, I like everything by Bob Dylan,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55almost everything by Bob Dylan.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Erm, but I also listen to jazz and all sorts of things.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The trouble is, very little of it post-1985.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- JEREMY LAUGHS - You're the same as me, in that case.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08What do you think of reggae, Chris? I've never asked you that before.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14Actually, I quite like reggae. Yeah, I do not mind a nice bit of reggae.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Some of the early Marley.- Yeah, he was a complete genius, wasn't he?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I never heard that from you before, Chris.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Interesting. We like to hear about things you like.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23So, with Music, Vincent, your choice - first or second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Here we go, Chris.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33"A little bit of Monica in my life/ A little bit of Erica by my side"
0:03:33 > 0:03:36are lyrics from which bestselling single?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44That is Mambo No 5, Jeremy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Mambo No 5 it is.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, over to you, Vincent.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Davy Jones, later a member of The Monkees, made his Broadway
0:03:51 > 0:03:56debut playing which role in the musical Oliver! in 1963?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04I don't know this, but he wouldn't have been old enough for Fagin.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think the best guess is probably the Artful Dodger.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Artful Dodger is the right answer. Well done to you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12OK, Chris, your question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17For which album did Pulp win the Mercury Prize in 1996?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I have an idea that was Different Class.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Is he right, Vincent, or is this outside your time frame?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I don't know, but I think he might well be right.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Yeah, you're right, Chris, Different Class it is.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Back to you, Vincent, for your second question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40In 1996, Gary Cherone became the vocalist with which group?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46And Cherone, Vincent, is spelt C-H-E-R-O-N-E.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I am not sure that Iron Maiden have changed their vocalist,
0:04:50 > 0:04:55have they? Perhaps they have. I am guessing, I'll go for Van Halen.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You have got it right. Van Halen.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Chris, your third question.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The form of baroque music in which the music is passed between
0:05:03 > 0:05:07an orchestra and a small group of soloists is known by what name?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16That is a concerto grosso, Jeremy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17"Great concerto".
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Yes, you're right. So that's the danger of going second, Vincent.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25He can get three in a row, which puts you under a bit of pressure.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27If you get this one wrong, you're going to be knocked out. Here we go.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Which jazz saxophonist was known as The Sound?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It wasn't Charlie Parker, because he was Bird.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It could've been either of the other two for all I know. Um...
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It sounds like a cool name and Stan Getz was cool West Coast jazz,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49so I will say Stan Getz.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You're very good at playing this game. Stan Getz is correct.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53CLEVELANDERS: Well done.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Three out of three, we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Chris's question first. Gets a bit harder.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59As you know, Chris, I don't give you alternative answers.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Adam Levine found fame as the lead singer with which American band
0:06:04 > 0:06:09whose UK hits have included Makes Me Wonder and She Will Be Loved?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Hmm.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Journey?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Journey. Ooh, where did that come from?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Back of the mind.- Yeah. Anyone know?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Maroon 5.- Maroon 5.- Uh-huh.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25OK, your question, Vincent.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Which girl band released the single Wings in 2012?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I know absolutely nothing about girl bands.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I have never heard of Wings, except as Paul McCartney's group.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44It's got to be someone who is still around. Pussycat Dolls.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It's Little Mix.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Chris, your Sudden Death question.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Who composed the music and wrote the lyrics for the song Be A Clown,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55used in the 1948 film musical the Pirate,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Johnny Mercer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- No, Cole Porter.- Cole Porter!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06So, Vincent, if you get this one right, you have taken it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Who arranged the Fantasia On British Sea Songs that is regularly
0:07:11 > 0:07:15played at the Last Night Of The Proms at the Royal Albert Hall?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16HE SIGHS
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I don't know... I don't know if this was Elgar or whether...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30No. My first thought was it might be Elgar, but I'm not sure.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I've got something telling me that it might have been early conductor of the Proms, Henry Wood.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You are bang on. Henry Wood it was.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40THE CLEVELANDERS CHEER
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Ah-ha-ha! Excellent play! Vincent, well done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You have knocked out Chris and that is first blood to your team,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The Clevelanders. Well done.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50If you both come back and rejoin your teams, we will play on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, we say well done to Vincent. As it stands,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The Clevelanders have not lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01The Eggheads have lost a brain already. What is going on?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03We shall see. The next subject is Politics.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06They are the kings of the comeback, so you have to keep fighting here.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Who wants this?- I think I was going to take Politics, wasn't I?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- I'll take Politics. - Peter, against...?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Eh, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, I think.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17OK, so Peter from The Clevelanders against Tremendous Knowledge Dave
0:08:17 > 0:08:19on Politics. Please go to the Question Room.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Peter, you had a long time in the steel industry?- Yeah, 40 years.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, bit of steel needed here against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Shall try!- I gather that you invented a piece of equipment that
0:08:32 > 0:08:35is now used in steelworks around the world. Tell us.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's a very specialised piece of equipment for measuring
0:08:38 > 0:08:42the internal alignments of casting machines.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And so this has been rolled out in factories across the world?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah, I invented it for use in this country
0:08:47 > 0:08:50and we built one for each of the British steelworks,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54but it was so popular that we decide to sell it under licence.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So you had a patent and you saw your invention replicated everywhere?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- About 300 or 400 steelworks around the world, yes.- How does that feel?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It felt great when I used to go and visit them and see it stood in the corner.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08OK, well, well done on that and good luck in this round as well.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Thank you.- Politics, and you can go first or second.- I shall try first.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Here we go.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Whose government was discredited by what is known as the Profumo Affair?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think it was a Tory government.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Certainly not as old as David Lloyd George.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So it won't be James Callaghan. So I suspect it is Harold Macmillan.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Harold Macmillan is the right answer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Established by an Act of Parliament in 2004,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43the ORR is the Office of what?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Looking at that, I might have to go Rail Regulation.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It is the Office of Rail Regulation. You're right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- We must be running out of acronyms in this country.- Yeah, definitely!
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Can't be that many left!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00OK, Peter.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04In 2012, which former MP performed at Covent Garden
0:10:04 > 0:10:09in the non-singing role of the Duchesse de Crakentorp
0:10:09 > 0:10:10in an opera by Donizetti?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Oh, I have no idea on this one.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't think it will be Shirley Williams.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I think she's a bit too serious.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Um, I would suspect it is maybe Ann Widdecombe.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Ann Widdecombe is the right answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30OK, Dave, your question.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34The Espace Leopold is a complex of parliament buildings in which city?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Can you spell it for me, please?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Yeah, Espace is E-S-P-A-C-E, and then Leopold is as you would
0:10:43 > 0:10:45spell "Leopold" but with an accent on the E.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Have to go Brussels.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Brussels is the right answer, well done. So, two each.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53And we go back to you, Peter.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58"Return to normalcy" was a campaign slogan used by which US President?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04All well before my time,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07and I'm not particularly knowledgeable on presidents.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09So it is going to be an almost...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11almost a complete guess.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I will say Theodore Roosevelt.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Any Eggs?- I would go for Harding.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Kevin is right, Harding. Warren Harding is the answer.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Dave, your question. Get this right, you are in the final round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Which American political commentator popularised the phrase
0:11:27 > 0:11:31"Cold War" in his 1947 book of the same name?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Hmm. I'm not...
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Hal Hendrix is just staring out at me, but have I got any real basis?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- I'll go Hal Hendrix.- No, Walter Lippmann is the correct answer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48So we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Peter, gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Early in his writing career, which 19th-century novelist reported for
0:11:56 > 0:12:01his uncle's publication The Mirror Of Parliament, a rival to Hansard?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Um...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Don't know the answer to the question, so I will have a guess.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07I'll just say Charles Dickens.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Charles Dickens is the right answer.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yes, good answer, cos he was a sketchwriter, wasn't he,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15up in the House of Commons.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, so now you're on the back foot, Dave.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You need to get this one right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The 2012 book The Man Without A Face, by Masha Gessen,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27is a study of which Russian politician?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30I'll go Vladimir Putin.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Vladimir Putin is correct. - Oh, right!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Sorry, Peter, it goes on.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Joachim Gauck became president of which country in March 2012?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It's J-O-A-C-H-I-M, and then Gauck is G-A-U-C-K.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Joachim Gauck.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50No, don't know the answer immediately, so I'll have a guess.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Um, the Ukraine.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57No, Germany. Closer to home than that.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK, Dave, get this right, you are in the final.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03In his famous speech of January 1918,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07how many points were listed by US President Woodrow Wilson
0:13:07 > 0:13:12as he outlined his proposals for the post-World War I peace settlement?
0:13:12 > 0:13:1414.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1614 is your answer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Is that well-known in quizland, Dave?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- I didn't know that.- Well, it must be well-known if I know it!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- LAUGHTER - You're very modest. Very modest.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Too modest, because you got it right. 14 it is. Sorry, Peter.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31He's knocked you out on Sudden Death, but you played him close.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Well done. Do, both of you, please rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- So, analysis at this point, Gordon? How are we doing?- We're doing OK.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46OK, lost one, but we have beaten one, so that is pretty good.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Definitely putting up a fight, no question about that.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52As it stands, The Clevelanders have lost a brain, so have the Eggheads.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56We play on and the next subject is Sport. Is this good?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Yes.- Yeah.- Alan is going to do Sport. - Alan on Sport. OK, Alan.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Which Egghead?- Who do you fancy?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Kevin, I think we will take.- Oh, he's going to go for the...- Kevin?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Brave man!- Very determined.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Kevin was knocked out in the last game,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10so we don't know what kind of mood he's in. It's Alan...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- THEY LAUGH - Thanks for that!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Alan from The Clevelanders versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, Alan, in your time, you have done quite a bit of travelling,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and I know that that has come to an end now.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Yes, most of it was involuntary travelling to work.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Via helicopters. Please, don't ever use one.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Yeah, I was going to say, to oil rigs and stuff, is it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Oil rigs for 22 years, yes. - And meanwhile, had six children.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Mm, yes. Up to now.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42LAUGHTER
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, let us know if you have got a seventh on the way. Do tell!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47OK, so you're up against Kevin here.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- You can choose whether to go first or second.- I'll go first.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Here we go, good luck to you, Alan.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59In which year did the tennis player Novak Djokovic first reach
0:14:59 > 0:15:03number one in the ATP world rankings?
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Er, I think 2005 is too early.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I think 2008 is too early. I think the answer is 2011.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Very good, absolutely bang on with that. 2011. I never know -
0:15:19 > 0:15:21you say "two thousand and eleven", I say "20-11".
0:15:21 > 0:15:23We'll never sort it out, will we?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25OK, Kevin.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Which England player was the top goal-scorer at the Euro 96
0:15:30 > 0:15:31football championship?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Euro 96?- Yes. - That's one that was held in England.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Much too early for Rooney, and Gary Neville played further back.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45It will be Alan Shearer.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49It was indeed Alan Shearer. You're right. OK, your question, Alan.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54The Formula 1 driver, Valtteri Bottas, was born in which country?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Could you repeat the name?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yes, it's V-A-L-T-T-E-R-I,
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Valtteri, and then Bottas, B-O-T-T-A-S.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I've never heard of him, so I will just make an educated guess.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- I will say Venezuela.- Sounds a little bit Venezuelan, but it's not.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15It's Finland.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK, Kevin, to take the lead.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The winners of the rugby union Six Nations match between Italy
0:16:22 > 0:16:27and France win a trophy named after which famous Italian?
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Well, before the choices came up, Garibaldi sprang to mind.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I don't know it as such, but that is obviously a factor.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48And Garibaldi, although he is famous as an Italian patriot,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51was actually born in Nice.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53So there is a connection between the two countries.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So I would go for Garibaldi.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You're quite right, Garibaldi it is.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Alan, your question. You need to get this one right.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Who was first appointed president
0:17:03 > 0:17:09of the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1999?
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Once again, I have never heard of ANY of the three people involved.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26So...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32..Lennart Johannson.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It is Lamine Diack, Alan, I'm sorry.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So two questions wrong means that Kevin has knocked you out,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41no way back for you. You will not be in the final round and Kevin will.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Please come back and we will play on.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46So, as it stands, The Clevelanders have lost two
0:17:46 > 0:17:50brains from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55I think that's me, isn't it?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Mandy is going to take Geography. - OK, Mandy.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Which of the Eggheads do you want to play?- Barry.- Barry or Daphne?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Barry, please. - You said that with some conviction.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Daphne knows everything. - She does, she is amazing!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- She is amazing, you're so right. - It's all in there with Daphne, we just don't know how it comes out.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- It is, it is. So, still want to go with Barry?- Yes, please.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Mandy from The Clevelanders versus Barry from the Eggheads
0:18:18 > 0:18:21on Geography, please go to the Question Room.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26So I gather you may not be going back to Italy for a while, Mandy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Why not?- I've had a few experiences.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I got trapped there in the ash cloud.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Forgotten what year that was now! Had to come back by train.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I was there when they had the earthquake and, quite recently,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I got stuck for seven-and-a-half hours on the runway because of snow.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So maybe its just not meant to be, then?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, it's too tempting, isn't it? You've got to go back.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50But there's a lot of quiz material in your experiences,
0:18:50 > 0:18:54because we had the Icelandic mountain, the volcano came up
0:18:54 > 0:18:57the other day, so may be useful in this round, who knows?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Anyway, Geography, Mandy, perfect subject for you,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- and would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Here we go, Barry. The island of Bali lies approximately two miles
0:19:09 > 0:19:11east of which other island?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Bali is one of the Indonesian islands,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and the only other Indonesian island there is Java, so that is my answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21And you're quite right, Java it is.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Mandy, which of these European destinations is served by ferry
0:19:27 > 0:19:29from the Port of Hull?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- It's Rotterdam.- Straight there. - I've got family in Hull.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- I've been on the Hull ferries.- Yeah, absolutely right, Rotterdam it is.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Over to Barry, question two.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47The historic market town of Ringwood lies close to which national park?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I have not heard of Ringwood, so it is definitely
0:19:54 > 0:19:58not in the North York Moors, cos I know all the towns there.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I am pretty certain it is not in Northumberland,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02so I shall go for the New Forest.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03New Forest is quite right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Yeah, it's sort of Southampton area, isn't it?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Kevin's neck of the woods.- It's reasonably close to Southampton.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10The New Forest is in-between,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Ringwood is on the western edge of the New Forest.- Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Mandy, your question.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Which river is formed by the confluence of the Jefferson,
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Madison and Gallatin Rivers near Three Forks, Montana?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm thinking Potomac is sort of Washington area.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Missouri is pretty long, isn't it, down in the southeast.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'm going to pick Colorado.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yeah, I might have done the same. It's not, though, it's Missouri.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- It is very long!- Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Means that Barry is in the lead
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and will be in the final if he gets this right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Which European language is the official language
0:20:55 > 0:20:57of the country of South Sudan?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02South Sudan. It's not Spanish.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05There's only a couple of countries in Africa that have
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Spanish as the official language.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13And although most of the Sahara and sub-Sahara are French-speaking,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Sudan, I believe, was controlled by the English for a large period
0:21:17 > 0:21:20of its recent history, so I believe it would be English.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Nicely done, Barry. You are absolutely right, English it is.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26You have taken around. Sorry, Mandy.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28He's knocked you out there with his three correct answers,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30which does happen with Barry.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Please come back, rejoin your team-mates,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and we will play the final round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It is time for the final round which, as always,
0:21:40 > 0:21:41is General Knowledge.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:21:44 > 0:21:45allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49So, Alan, Peter and Mandy from The Clevelanders, and also
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Gordon and Vincent, you're playing to win The Clevelanders £11,000.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Kevin, Dave, Daphne and Barry, you are playing for something that
0:22:02 > 0:22:07money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12this time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You're allowed to confer, gentlemen. So, Clevelanders, the question is,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25We have discussed it and we would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Good luck. Which of these garments traditionally has a hood
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and is fastened with toggles?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41That sounds to me like a duffel coat, don't you...? Pretty much.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Yeah, duffel coat, Jeremy.- Duffel coat is the right answer, well done.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Over to you, Eggheads.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Which celebrity married her third husband, Kieran Hayler,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53in January 2013?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Katie Price, isn't it? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Well, Katie Price definitely got married.- Yeah, yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Definitely got married, yeah. - Yeah, that was Katie Price.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Apparently, she had been to a fortune-teller who told her
0:23:08 > 0:23:11she would marry somebody with the name "Kevin",
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and she thought that sounded close.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Is that right?- Yes! Yes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Katie Price is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You see, they know their high culture
0:23:20 > 0:23:23but they also know their Jordans.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Jordan in the Middle East and Jordan in Hello! You know them all.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28OK, the next question is for Gordon and Vincent.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34The 2013 film This Is 40 was billed as a "sort of sequel" to which film?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39VINCENT SIGHS
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- Do you know that?- Well, not really. I don't... I certainly don't know it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I heard something about this on the radio,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and Knocked Up is ringing a bell.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Yes, it is a little with me. - With you?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56The only film that is sort of ringing some bells with us both,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59just pure instinct, really, we think it could be Knocked Up.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Knocked Up is the right answer. Well done, two out of two.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Team-mates are clapping back there.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11Eggheads, the Chinese New Year that began in February 2013
0:24:11 > 0:24:14is known as the year of the what?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18EGGHEADS: Snake.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah, yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It is the Snake.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It is indeed the Snake.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I was born in '65. Was '65 the Snake?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29You know how they go back there?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- How do you work it out?- 12 years.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- It's a 12-year cycle.- 12 years?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- So it can't have been '65, then? - No.- No.- I was not the Snake.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- No.- I was something else.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- You'd probably be would tell me, wouldn't you?- Eventually.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Eventually, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:24:41 > 0:24:43OK, let's not worry about it now.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47So it's two points each, final round, you're playing well.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Here is your next question. In military history,
0:24:50 > 0:24:55the Wellington bomber was designed in the 1930s by which company?
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- (OK on that one?)- Mm-hmm. I don't know, but you will.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Vickers Armstrong.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Oh, you got straight there.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Vickers Armstrong is correct.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Vickers Armstrong is right. Well done.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Three out of three. Your team-mates could expect no more.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Playing very well, the two of you. Eggheads, here we are again.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20You have played some very good Challengers recently.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25So, if you get this one wrong, the contest is over and you have lost.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Your precious reputation in pieces on the floor.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35The bumblebee bat, regarded as one of the world's smallest mammals,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37is native to which part of the world?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Ah, really should know this, but I don't.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- I don't think it is Australasia. - Think it's Australasia?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52No.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54My...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59My first instinct was South America, but I have no...
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- Oh, gosh, could be from South East Asia.- Yeah, well, yes, I don't know.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Why do you think it's South East Asia?- Don't know, just a gut feel.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I have nothing to back it up with.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13OK. Don't know why I thought that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18It came into my mind before the choices came up. But I don't know.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well, on the basis that it came into your mind first,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I generally go with things like that.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It is tenuous, isn't it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:32- We don't know, but we're going to guess at South America.- OK.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You were chairing that discussion, Daphne?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Yes.- And you had Barry and Kevin
0:26:37 > 0:26:40both with the merest glimmer of something.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Why did you go with Kevin?
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Because Kevin thought it was that before he saw the options.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Kevin's admitted in a recent game he is very bad at guessing.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56You didn't apply that or discount his suggestion on that basis.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Kevin overall is good at guessing.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Well, in this case, I'm afraid,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04the inkle that came from the side of the table has cost you the game.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05It's South East Asia.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08We say congratulations, Clevelanders. You have won!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14JEREMY LAUGHS
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well... Well, well, well!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And they played very well, these Challengers.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Yes.- Very, very good.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Got three right in the final round, brilliantly done on that last question. What can I say?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It was very interesting watching poor old Barry there.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I don't think he had any less of an idea than Kevin and you ignored him!
0:27:32 > 0:27:35No, but we... My general rule is if something comes into your mind
0:27:35 > 0:27:38before you hear the question, it is almost certainly right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- First instinct.- I see, I see. - That is the rule.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- That's the rule. OK.- Yes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, they play it a certain way, the Eggheads.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Best not to enquire quite what goes on around that table.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- But the main thing is, you've won. - Don't need to know how, just...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- JEREMY LAUGHS - That's good. Good for you, Gordon.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57You've had a couple of routings on Mastermind and you come here and take the jackpot.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well, that is a bit of compensation, isn't it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Absolutely, just what I was thinking. A proper quizzing team.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Well done to you both and to your team-mates as well.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Congratulations to The Clevelanders.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09You have won the jackpot on Eggheads of £11,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11You are therefore officially cleverer than
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- the Eggheads over here. - I don't think so!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You have proved certainly that they can be beaten.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Do join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Until then, goodbye.
