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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:26a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team
0:00:30 > 0:00:32in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are
0:00:36 > 0:00:38The Silverdalians from Lancashire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now, this team of friends all attend
0:00:40 > 0:00:43a weekly quiz in their home village of Silverdale.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46They are usually on separate teams but they've put aside their
0:00:46 > 0:00:49rivalries today to tackle the Eggheads, let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 70-years-old
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Nigel, I'm 48-years-old and I'm an IT company director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm David, I'm 57-years-old
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and a retired retail manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 48, I'm a solutions manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 51, I'm a database administrator.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Dave and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, same quiz, different teams normally, is that right?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- That's right, yes. - How did you choose each other?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24We meet on a Thursday with our respective teams and
0:01:24 > 0:01:27we put a team together to challenge the Eggheads.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Fantastic, and you all come from Silverdale.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Yes, it's a fabulous village. - Tell us about Silverdale.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, we have our church, our school, our Post Office,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38our butcher, baker, candlestick maker.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40It's just a unique place to live.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43OK, let's see if it's a unique place to quiz, as well,
0:01:43 > 0:01:44and see what you do to the Eggheads today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Good luck to you.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money
0:01:52 > 0:01:54rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So, Silverdalians, the Challengers actually won the last game which
0:01:58 > 0:02:00at least proves it can be done.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03And that means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Who would like this? - I think we're generally agreed on...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I guess it's going to be me.- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- That'll be me, Jeremy. - OK, Steve against which Egghead?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Um... - Any one of them.- I think Daphne.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Oh, God!
0:02:19 > 0:02:20SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:20 > 0:02:23That's not bad, is it? You're good at sport.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29I keep getting the killer question, like Japanese women wrestlers.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30CHUCKLING
0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, Steve from The Silverdalians versus Daphne from the Eggheads
0:02:34 > 0:02:37on Sport and to ensure there's no conferring please
0:02:37 > 0:02:40take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, Steve, I'm assuming you've chosen Sport
0:02:42 > 0:02:44because you are one of the team captains of
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Silverdale's cricket teams?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Yeah, I've always been interested in sport.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I love my cricket, I'm only captain of the second team,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53unfortunately I'm getting a bit too old now.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55OK, let's see how you do, Steve.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Your choice on Sport, first or second?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05OK, the first set of questions, for you, Steve, here we go.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07What coloured top has been customarily worn by
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Tiger Woods during the final round of major golf tournaments?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Um, I also watch a lot of golf, actually, and I know
0:03:18 > 0:03:22that in the final round he does like to wear the same colour.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Um, he also gets a little bit annoyed when other players
0:03:24 > 0:03:28playing with him wear that colour, he always wears a red top, Jeremy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32He does always wear a red top, you're right.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Daphne, in which US state is the Arthur Ashe Stadium
0:03:36 > 0:03:39the venue for tennis's US Open Finals?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Well, the finals are always held in New York so it must be New York.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51New York is quite right.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Back to you, Steve.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Which diver competed with Tom Daley to come fourth
0:03:56 > 0:03:59in the ten-metre synchronised platform
0:03:59 > 0:04:01event at the 2012 Olympic Games?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Um, oh, diving's not really my sport, um...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I'm not too sure on this one.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Scott Brash doesn't really sound right, um...
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I think... the name Peter Waterfield, I think...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so, I'm going to go for that one.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Peter Waterfield is correct.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Yeah!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I wondered if it was the presence of water in the surname
0:04:30 > 0:04:32that drew you there.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Yeah! Could be. - Sort of subconsciously, maybe, yeah?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Anyway, it was handy, if so.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Daphne, which contact sport is known as the science or art
0:04:42 > 0:04:44of eight limbs?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Um...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Well, I know that in Thai boxing they can use their feet
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so maybe it's Thai boxing.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I don't know.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Thai boxing is your answer?- Mm.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07You made a comment earlier about the problem with sport
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- is Japanese wrestling.- Yes!
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- It's come up in various forms. - Oh, it's not Vietnamese wrestling?!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16No, I thought that might lead you astray,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17it is, actually, Thai boxing.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Oh!- You've yet again played in a very Daphne-like way.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21SHE CHUCKLES
0:05:21 > 0:05:24A little bit of Miss Marple coming out.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26You followed the clue. OK, Steve, your question -
0:05:26 > 0:05:33Which footballer made his debut in 1982 and won a record 92 Welsh caps?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Erm...
0:05:41 > 0:05:481982, that's a bit late for Terry Yorath and for Mike England.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Um, and that sounds about right, to me, for Neville Southall.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- What position did he play. - He was a goalkeeper.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Absolutely, Neville Southall is right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And was he... Tremendous Knowledge Dave, you'll know this,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- was it Everton?- Everton.- For a long time.- Came over here in 1985.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Very good. Now, Daphne, if you get this wrong you're out.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13The Brownlow Medal is awarded every year to the fairest and best player
0:06:13 > 0:06:15in the league in which sport?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I do know this. It's Australian Rules Football.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- AUSTRALIAN ACCENT:- Australian Rules Football is right. Well done!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Three out of three. So...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Well, you did as well as you possibly could and it still
0:06:34 > 0:06:36wasn't quite good enough at this stage
0:06:36 > 0:06:38to knock her out but maybe you'll be lucky
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- in Sudden Death. You know what happens now.- Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I don't give you alternative answers, here we go...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Which tennis player, winner of eight Grand Slam singles titles
0:06:47 > 0:06:50was appointed as Andy Murray's coach in 2011?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Um, well I know Andy Murray had a lot of problems with...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57the mental side of winning Grand Slams
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and the player in question, or the ex-player in question
0:07:00 > 0:07:03is very strong mentally, it's Ivan Lendl.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Ivan Lendl is quite right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Brilliant tennis player as well.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13OK, Daphne, to stay in. Which European golfer won the
0:07:13 > 0:07:18PGA of America's Player of the Year award in 2012?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Rory McIlroy?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Rory McIlroy is quite right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25- Oh!- Doing very well!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29She's hard to shake off, Steve, isn't she?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yes, she is, yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Here's your question. Before New Zealand in 2011
0:07:33 > 0:07:37which was the last country to win the Rugby Union World Cup
0:07:37 > 0:07:40as the host or co-host nation?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I would have to say...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48that would probably be South Africa.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- Yeah. Do you know which year it was? - Erm, 1997?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- '95.- '95.- But you're right, South Africa's the right answer.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Sudden Death continues, Daphne, you have to get this one right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Which English football club is nicknamed the Bantams?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Oh, I can't remember.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I know it's a northern club.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, but, no...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'm going to have a guess but I'm sure it's not right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Um...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Barnsley.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Oh! You're so close. Barry...? - Bradford City.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Bradford City... Do you know why, Barry?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Is a bantam chicken the same colour as Bradford's strip?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Yeah, the claret and amber strip,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34apparently the same colour as the plumage of a bantam.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Bradford City, Daphne. - I knew it it would come...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Just jumbled up in your brain, yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I was certain you were going to get it cos you normally scoop it
0:08:42 > 0:08:43out of somewhere.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But you haven't and that means you've been knocked out I'm afraid,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Daphne. Well done, Steve, you're in the final round.- Thank you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Please both of you rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56So, really good start for The Silverdalians because they have
0:08:56 > 0:08:59not lost a brain from the final round yet and the Eggheads
0:08:59 > 0:09:02have lost Daphne, who's a very, very good player, as we know.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04The next subject is...
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Who would like this?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09THEY CONFER
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Nigel.- That's going to be me.- Nigel. OK. Against which Egghead, Nigel?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Can't be Daphne.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Chris?- Yes. Get rid of another good one.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21LAUGHTER
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Against Chris, please.- OK, so Nigel from The Silverdalians versus Chris
0:09:25 > 0:09:27on Film & TV, please go to the Question Room now.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32So, we are on Film & Television. Nigel, you can choose the first
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- or the second set of questions.- I'll take the first questions, please.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Here we go, good luck. Who did the EastEnders' character Dot Cotton
0:09:43 > 0:09:45marry in 2002?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54I haven't watched EastEnders for years.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58But, I think the name Jim Branning's leaping out at me
0:09:58 > 0:10:00so I'm going with Jim Branning.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, hopefully, if you were watching it 11 years ago
0:10:02 > 0:10:05you will have seen the right episode because you're right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Jim Branning is correct. Impressive play.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Judith would have been onto that like a shot,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11she loves her EastEnders.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Chris, your question, which TV quiz show was hosted by Bamber Gascoigne
0:10:15 > 0:10:19between 1962 and 1987?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It still feels all wrong not to see him still doing it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It was University Challenge, Jeremy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33It was University Challenge. And he does look the actual image
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- of the guy who looks like he knows all the answers.- Hmm.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37OK, Nigel, your question...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Darrin Stephens played by Dick York and then Dick Sargent
0:10:41 > 0:10:44was a central character in which US TV series?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'm, actually, old enough to remember the change or
0:10:52 > 0:10:56at least perhaps on some of the repeats. It was Bewitched.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Impressive. It was indeed.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Bewitched.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Chris, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn and Josh Brolin
0:11:03 > 0:11:09starred in which film released in the UK in January 2013?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17That is Gangster Squad, Jeremy.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Gangster Squad is correct, you're doing well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Third question to you, Nigel. Impressive play on both sides here.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29Who starred as Mark Rutland in the 1964 Hitchcock film, Marnie?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Oh...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I can't say I've ever seen the film.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Nothing's leaping out at me on this one.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Erm...
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I'm going to go for George Lazenby
0:11:46 > 0:11:49but there's no logic behind the answer.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Any Eggheads know? - ALL: Sean Connery.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Sean Connery is the answer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Chris, your question. This for the round.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02Timmy Time is a spin off from which children's TV series?
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Yeah... Don't ask me how I know this, but it's Shaun the Sheep.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It is indeed Shaun the Sheep.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Chris, well done, you got all three out of three so, I'm sorry,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19the last answer has cost you your place in the final,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Chris will be in it and you won't.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Please both of you rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28So, you've lost one each. How are we feeling, Dave?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Reasonably confident.- That's good, very good. Silverdale is confident,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35we can report. The next subject is...
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Which Silverdalian would like this?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39THEY CONFER
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- It's David.- That's me. - David.- Yep.- OK.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Which Egghead would you like to take on? Can't be Chris or Daphne, of course.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think I'll take Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK, so two Daves. This often happens, we have Kevins
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and Barrys and now we've got two Davids in the Question Room together.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57David from the Silverdalians, Dave from the Eggheads,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59please take your positions.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01So, David, I'm wondering
0:13:01 > 0:13:04if we've reached the key moment in the game here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06You've lost one, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07- What's going to happen now? - I don't know.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- The boys have done good. - They've done well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- And you like geography? - I do, yes, indeed. I travel.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah, I was going to say - where have you been?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Oh, I've been fortunate enough to go to quite a lot of places.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22I've been to many countries in Africa. I've been to Antarctica,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Southeast Asia a fair bit, so, yeah, I've been around.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK, against Tremendous Knowledge Dave on Geography, David,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29would you like to go first or second?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Erm, I'll go first also.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Here is your first question - which island of Japan is regarded
0:13:36 > 0:13:37as the mainland?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Hm. Erm...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I know all three islands, I can't say I've ever known any of them
0:13:47 > 0:13:49being known as the mainland.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Erm, but certainly, the main island
0:13:53 > 0:13:55is not Kyushu or Shikoku.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I think the answer is Honshu.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Honshu is correct.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK, Dave, your question.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04The Thelwall Viaduct
0:14:04 > 0:14:08carries which motorway across the Manchester Ship Canal?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13HE CHUCKLES
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah. M6.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17HE CHUCKLES
0:14:17 > 0:14:20M6 is the right answer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Dave, you won't be surprised to know you got it right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Oh, thank you for that one. - Your friends and family
0:14:24 > 0:14:26would have been very amused if you got that...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Oh, dearie me, million hits on YouTube.- Yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31David, your question - which of these is the name given to
0:14:31 > 0:14:34the southern part of the Aegean Sea?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Well, they're all islands and they're all fairly south,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47I think Crete is more south than Corfu.
0:14:47 > 0:14:54Cephalonia is next to Zante where I have been so I should know.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I think I'm going to go for Crete.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Yes, you're right, Sea of Crete it is.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Very good play. Sensing an impressive team here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Tremendous Knowledge Dave, the Strait of Messina
0:15:05 > 0:15:09separates the mainland of Italy from which island?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Sicily.- Sicily is correct.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Two points each. David, the flag of Burkina Faso
0:15:22 > 0:15:26features a five pointed yellow star on a background of two
0:15:26 > 0:15:29horizontal stripes of what colour?
0:15:32 > 0:15:37As you were reading it out I was thinking green was one of them.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Erm...
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So, simply cos that came into my head first I'll discount
0:15:43 > 0:15:47black and red, probably wrongly.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I think I'm going to go down the middle for red and green.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Brilliant play, you're right.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Red and green.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57OK, Dave, this to stay in.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01What is the capital of the Chiriqui province of Panama?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I've got no idea.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It would be ironic if Dave knocked me out and it was David!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13But I'm not going to...I'll resist that temptation.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Erm, I'll go Martin.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18On the basis that that's not your name?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21The answer is David.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24HE LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Well done!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29The questions were put together before you two chose each other
0:16:29 > 0:16:32so... it's pure coincidence but well done to David.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You've knocked Dave out on a question to which the answer
0:16:35 > 0:16:38was David. It couldn't be more fitting, never happened before.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- You're in the final round, David.- Thank you.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- And, Dave, you're not.- I know!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Please, both of you return to your teams.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48So, Dave was just knocked out by David on a question to which
0:16:48 > 0:16:50the answer was David.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51HE CHUCKLES
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- That... that hasn't happened before, has it?- No.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Daphne, one day a Daphne will knock you out on a question to which
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- the answer is Daphne.- No, I think I know all the answers to Daphne.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- Yes, where Daphne is there you will choose it.- Yes.- Yes, OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07As it stands, the Silverdalians have lost one brain from the
0:17:07 > 0:17:10final round but they're now playing very, very well.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12The Eggheads have lost two.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, you're just beginning to assert dominance here,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and remember, they're coming off the back of a loss.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So, they may be feeling fragile.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22The next subject is...
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Which Silverdalian would like this?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Do you want to do that one, David, cos you're nearest to it!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER
0:17:29 > 0:17:30I know nothing about history.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33In that event it looks like it's going to be me.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- ALL: Yeah.- That will be me, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Steve from The Silverdalians against... which Egghead?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Who do you recommend? You've done the study... - Barry, maybe? A good one to lose.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Would you say that?- Come on, Steve, there are only three of them left!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yeah, in that case we shall try Barry.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, it's going to be Steve against Barry.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And the subject is History, let's see how you do.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Please, both of you, to avoid any conferring go to the Question Room.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So, Steve, I'm trying to work out how you've ended up doing History
0:17:59 > 0:18:02when your hobby is to read science fiction novels?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm kind of wondering the same thing myself, to be honest,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- but here we are.- So, you're reading about the future
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- and you need to read about the past! - Yeah, I obviously got
0:18:09 > 0:18:12the wrong book for the train, I think, but there we go.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Barry, are you more of a science fiction man or more of a
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Henry VIII man?- Oh, both, actually.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I enjoy both genres.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22What have you read in science fiction that you've loved?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I tend to like the Hugo and Nebula winners.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27They are the ones who win the main prizes in science fiction
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and they are always cracking good reads.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Steve, how about you?- I'm a fairly massive fan of Isaac Asimov
0:18:33 > 0:18:36who's a very prolific author in terms of fiction
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and nonfiction work and, more recently, Greg Bear,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41is a tremendous author, I think.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44OK, I feel bad we're talking about the year 3000 and we're probably
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- going to go back to 1540.- Yeah. - Let's see how we do on history.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Here we go...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51you versus Barry, Steve, do you want to go first or second?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I think I shall go second, if that's OK?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59OK, let's see if your team can keep up the pressure on the Eggs.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01See if they crack.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02In which US city did
0:19:02 > 0:19:06the St Valentine's Day Massacre take place in 1929?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Er... I think the famous comment on this one was by one of the
0:19:14 > 0:19:16reporters who came there, who said there were more brains
0:19:16 > 0:19:20on the floor than in his head and it took place in Chicago.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Chicago is the right answer.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Steve, your question - which year of the 20th century
0:19:27 > 0:19:31is sometimes referred to as The Year of Three Popes?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Heavens, there was a very short-lived papacy of
0:19:42 > 0:19:47John Paul I. That was certainly within my time
0:19:47 > 0:19:49so I would go '78.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yep, you're bang on, '78 is correct.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- Well done.- Well done.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Your question, Barry -
0:19:54 > 0:19:58In Russian history False Dmitry is the name given to three men who
0:19:58 > 0:20:00challenged the leadership of Boris Godunov,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03claiming to be the son of which former ruler?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I do know this one because my daughter had the great privilege
0:20:11 > 0:20:15of singing in Mussorgsky's opera, Boris Godunov at the Albert Hall.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17So, I knew quite a bit about this history and
0:20:17 > 0:20:20the False Dmitry claimed to be the son of Ivan the Terrible.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Nicholas I and Catherine the Great are much too late.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Ivan the Terrible is quite right. Well done, Barry, good answer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Always good to bring the music back.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Here we go with your question, Steve.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Which Scottish king came to the throne at the age of 17 months
0:20:35 > 0:20:37in 1513?
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Oh, heavens. I'll have to eliminate James V on the basis that...
0:20:48 > 0:20:52..there was a James VI much later so I'm hoping it's not that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Erm, Malcolm and David...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I can't really toss a coin on this one but we had a David in the
0:21:01 > 0:21:04previous answer so I'm going to go for the middle one in this
0:21:04 > 0:21:06instance, purely as a guess, Malcolm III.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09- See if Barry knows, Barry?- No.
0:21:09 > 0:21:141513 is a terrible date in Scottish history because it was the date of
0:21:14 > 0:21:17the Battle of Flodden where the cream of the Scottish aristocracy were
0:21:17 > 0:21:20killed and James IV was the king who was killed then...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Oh!- ..so it would be his son, James V who came to the throne at
0:21:23 > 0:21:25that early age.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- There we are, James V is the answer. - I reasoned it wrongly.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29A very, very small king - cried a lot.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Your question, Barry,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33if you get this one right you are in the final round...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Who was British Prime Minister when the Crimean War ended?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Earl Grey was Prime Minister around the 1830s and the Crimean War
0:21:45 > 0:21:47was around the 1850s.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52I think the Duke of Wellington died in 1852 so the answer would be
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Viscount Palmerston.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Very exact logic and you're quite right, Barry, Viscount Palmerston
0:21:57 > 0:22:00is the answer. You've taken the round. They are playing...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02you're doing well, Challengers
0:22:02 > 0:22:04but the Eggheads are not letting up here.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, Steve, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07you won't be in the final round, Barry will.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10And if you both come back to us we will play that final.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So, this is what we have been playing towards, it is time
0:22:14 > 0:22:17for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:22:20 > 0:22:22allowed to take part in this round so that's Nigel
0:22:22 > 0:22:27and Steve L from The Silverdalians and also Dave and Daphne,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29the two Ds from the Eggheads.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Would you please leave the studio?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, here we are, Dave, David and Steve W,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37you're playing to win £1,000.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And a lot of attention for Silverdale.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Which is overdue.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46You are up against three Eggheads here who are playing for something
0:22:46 > 0:22:48far more precious, which is their reputation.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51As usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57You are allowed to confer. So, Silverdalians, the question is -
0:22:57 > 0:22:59are you able, with your three brains,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01to defeat the Egghead's three, over here?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04We'll go first.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Dave and team, good luck to you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12What number does the prefix milli represent in words
0:23:12 > 0:23:13such as millipede?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18ALL: Thousand.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Are you sure about this? Absolutely sure? OK.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24We think it's a thousand.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- You were checking forcibly there. - Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I understand why. Thousand is right, well done.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Eggheads, the acronym, GATT, for an economic agreement originally
0:23:35 > 0:23:38signed in the 1940s stood for...
0:23:38 > 0:23:41General Agreement on Tariffs and what...?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Trade.- Is it...?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Trade, definitely. - That's trade, Jeremy.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, you're right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, second question to you...
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Which Conservative politician delivered a report known as
0:23:59 > 0:24:04No Stone Unturned in Pursuit of Growth in 2012?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10- It was Heseltine.- It was.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Heseltine, absolutely sure.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- He was commissioned for it.- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16It was Michael Heseltine.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Michael Heseltine is the right answer.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Eggheads, which American actress is one half of the recording duo
0:24:25 > 0:24:26She & Him?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I can't believe it's Anne Hathaway.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35SIGHING
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Of those three, for no particular reason,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Zooey Deschanel occurred to me.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And to me, as well but I don't know why.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Greta Gerwig...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I've never heard of Greta Gerwig.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Heard nothing about Anne Hathaway being a singer?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, she was a singer in Les Mis
0:24:52 > 0:24:55but I don't think she's in any group or anything.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- For no reason at all I'm inclined to think Deschanel.- So am I.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01A bit concerned, though. We don't actually know it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- What do you think, should we go for that?- Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07We're very unclear about this one
0:25:07 > 0:25:10but on balance we're going to go for Zooey Deschanel.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12And Zooey Deschanel is correct.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Oh...
0:25:15 > 0:25:17They're playing for their pride here, the Eggheads.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20As far as they're concerned they've got to put a bit of a run together,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24having been defeated in the last game. If you get this one right you put some pressure on.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The Augrabies Falls are a feature of which African river?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35THEY CONFER
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- The Victoria Falls is on the Zambezi.- Yes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40But they might also be on there.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The Zambezi's quite shallow until it hits...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46There's not a big break on it until it hits the...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48THEY CONFER
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- The Orange River's further south, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- Gold, it's spelt AU, the gold reference.- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But, Limpopo...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03It's higher up, certainly.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Gold is actually mined in the southern part.- Exactly.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- That's our logic?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Go for it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We're going to go for Orange, Jeremy.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yes, you got it right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Thought we might.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18On the basis of it being...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- AU - gold. Gold mined in the southern part.- I see.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Great quizzing, great quizzing, well done.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Oh, they're strong Challengers, aren't they?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Here we go, Eggheads,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28if you get this wrong, you've been beaten again.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Annabel Lee is a poem by which American writer?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37ALL: Edgar Allan Poe.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39That's Edgar Allan Poe.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Edgar Allan Poe is the right answer, Eggheads, so it's three points each,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- You know how it works.- Yeah.- I don't give you alternative answers.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Here we go, Silverdalians, everyone in the village is watching...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The novelist Margaret Drabble, the businessman Peter Stringfellow,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02and the actor Dominic West were all born in which Yorkshire city?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07THEY CONFER
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- I think it's Leeds. - Leeds, Sheffield...
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Drabble... she's Michael Holroyd's wife, I think.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I would say Leeds.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20We're going for Leeds.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25As soon as I saw this question I had the immediate thought Leeds
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and I'm nearly always wrong. The answer is Sheffield.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30LAUGHTER
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And that was my first answer...
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Sheffield.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Ah!
0:27:35 > 0:27:39You're running them close but you've given them a chance on Sudden Death.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42If the Eggheads get this right the contest is over.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Members of the Red Hat sect are followers of which religion?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Eggheads...?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- They are Tibetan Buddhists.- Yeah.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- So...- Definitely, Buddhism.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54That's Buddhism.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Well, credit to Barry for giving us extra information which was correct.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01It's Tibetan Buddhism so on Sudden Death we have to say,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04"Congratulations, Eggheads." You have won.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- You played really well.- Yes, we did.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Bad luck but a great quizzing team.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14HE CHUCKLES
