0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Challenging our resident quiz champions today are Yartek Thistle.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39This team of friends are all
0:00:39 > 0:00:43members of the Glasgow Doctor Who Society and profess to get
0:00:43 > 0:00:47all of their general knowledge from the stories of Doctor Who.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50That could be very useful. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello. I'm Alan.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm 41 years old and I'm a senior consultancy administrator.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Deirdre. I'm 42 and I'm a finance officer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm David. I'm 22 and I'm a freelance filmmaker.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm Barry. I'm 29 and I'm a general manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi. I'm Kenny. I'm 38 and I'm a newspaper reporter.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Alan and team, welcome.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Good to see you. So you've got Doctor Who in common.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Is that right?- Yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We're all members of the Glasgow Doctor Who Society.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- That's how we all met. - And you're not the only members. There are more, are there?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29We have about 150 members online
0:01:29 > 0:01:34and regular meetings between a dozen and two dozen people.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38When you talk about the Doctors, is it like James Bond, where
0:01:38 > 0:01:41everybody says it's Sean Connery or Daniel Craig who is the best?
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- You all have a definite Doctor? - Yes.- Yes.- Yes.- Come on.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, my favourite is Colin Baker, which is
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- a controversial point of view.- I'm going to have to go down the line.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Deirdre?- Peter Davison.- David Tennant.- Sylvester McCoy.- Tom Baker.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Got a good mix there. My goodness!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Tell us about the team name, the Yartek Thistle.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, we're all Doctor Who fans.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12We're all from in or around Glasgow and there's a football team
0:02:12 > 0:02:17in Glasgow called Partick Thistle, better known as Partick Thistle Nil.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22And there was a character in a 1964 Doctor Who story,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The Keys Of Marinus, called Yartek,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28the leader of the alien Voord, so Yartek Thistle.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And hopefully it won't be "nil"!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33If a Doctor Who question doesn't come up, I'm going
0:02:33 > 0:02:37to personally apologise to you. I feel we must have one!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, good luck against the Eggheads. They're more frightening
0:02:40 > 0:02:43than the Daleks and they can go upstairs as well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56So, Yartek Thistle, the challengers won the last game, which proves it can be done.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Do you want to try?- Oh, yes! - Definitely.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04They're in the mood to get themselves back on track.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Who would like this?
0:03:09 > 0:03:15- Will I go for this?- David is our media man, so... Have a think.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'll go against Judith.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Perfect.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23So it is David from Yartek Thistle versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- How are you on your Doctor Who, Judith?- Very bad.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I haven't watched it for ages. Colin Baker, I think... No, Colin...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- The one with the scarves. - Baker, yeah.- Tom Baker.- Tom Baker!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Tom Baker, yeah.- That was my era.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- I think that says all we need to know about Judith's knowledge of Doctor Who!- It does!
0:03:41 > 0:03:47To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Film & TV.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52David, you can choose, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'll take the bullet and go first.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Here we go.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02In the 2012 film Life Of Pi, a zookeeper's son
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and a tiger share which type of transport?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's a lifeboat, Jeremy.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Have you seen it?- Yes.- Lifeboat is right. Judith, your question.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Which British actress married the Hollywood actor
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Michael Douglas in 2000?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I always get these who-married-who questions.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Um... Well, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Yes. There we are. Wasn't so bad.- No.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35David, your question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Which actor's first big break was playing the title
0:04:38 > 0:04:41role in the 1990 TV mini-series Chancer?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Ah...
0:04:47 > 0:04:48I...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I don't think it could be Clive Owen.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think, if I remember correctly,
0:04:54 > 0:05:00his first big film role was in... a Poliakoff film, Close My Eyes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Daniel Craig, I think his first big thing was Our Friends In The North.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I don't think it's him. I just don't know at all.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'm going to just have to go for Sean Bean cos I don't think
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I've heard of the other two being in something like that.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You're right to rule out Daniel Craig cos, yes,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Friends In The North was the big one for him.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Clive Owen is the answer, though. - Ah!- Clive Owen.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Judith, in the 1998 film Hideous Kinky, Kate Winslet's character
0:05:27 > 0:05:31leaves London to live in which country with her two daughters?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, I know. That's about Emma Freud, isn't it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Her childhood, I think.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Um...and they went to Morocco.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Morocco is the right answer.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So, David, she's playing well
0:05:46 > 0:05:49and you need to get this one right or you will have been knocked out,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53but many, many good people have been knocked out by Judith on Film & TV.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58The 1968 film Petulia, directed by Richard Lester,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02starred which actress in the title role?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Ah! Well, unfortunately,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'm truly stumped cos I have never heard of this film.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13No, I don't know this film...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Um... Something to me says that it's Angie Dickinson,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19but I think I'll go for Julie Christie cos it's the only person
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- I can think of working at that time. - Julie Christie is correct.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Well done, David.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I thought you were just going to snatch defeat
0:06:27 > 0:06:30from the jaws of victory there, but you stayed with it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Judith, your question.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35The TV drama The Hour, set in a television
0:06:35 > 0:06:38newsroom during the Cold War, was created by which writer?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Um... Oh, dear!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm very bad at... You can never see the credits.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They go past far too quickly.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Um...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56But I have a feeling, I think, it's Abi Morgan.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00You've got it right, Abi Morgan is the answer. Sorry, David.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You've been knocked out by Judith.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07It's very hard when they get three in a row. So you won't be in the final and Judith will.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Please, both of you, return to your teams.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11So, we're about to play on.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Judith, by the way, the film we mentioned, Hideous Kinky,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17was not Emma Freud, it was...?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Anyone?- Esther.- Esther Freud.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Well, I knew it was somebody Freud, beginning with an E.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26She's married to an actor you will probably know - David Morrissey.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Oh, is she?- Yeah, apparently. So, it was her story.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33So, as it stands, Yartek Thistle have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38The Eggheads have not lost a brain - all to play for. It's Geography now.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Who would like this?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- That'll have to be me. - Who fancies that?- I'll go for it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44- Barry?- Barry.- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Barry, against which Egghead? Anyone but Judith.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Shall I go for Pat? - Yeah, let's go for Pat.- Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54OK, so it's Barry from Yartek Thistle versus Pat
0:07:54 > 0:07:57from the Eggheads. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02would you please take your positions in the Question Room? We're going to play Geography now.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Barry, would you like to go first or second?- I think
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'll keep the precedent that David set and I'll go first.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Here is your question. On which river is the city of Berlin located?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Um...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23For some reason, I don't think the Spree is actually related to that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26For some reason, I've got in my head it's Volga
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and I'm going to go down the middle for Volga.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's not, actually.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's...the Spree.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, well. Never mind.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Pat, how many US states begin with the letter T?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46It's one of those questions where you need a bit of patience.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Tennessee and Texas.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We're off with two. Can we find any more?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57East Coast, Vermont, New Hampshire...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04A line...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Georgia... I think it's two.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It is two.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I love you just criss-crossing the States there in your mind
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and you can do the map in your head, it's amazing.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK, Barry, your second question.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The town of Leominster is traditionally considered to
0:09:18 > 0:09:20be in which county?
0:09:24 > 0:09:30- Leominster.- It's obviously spelled L-E-O-M-I-N-S-T-E-R. Leominster.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Um...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm going to have a go...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'll say Wiltshire.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's not, actually. It's Herefordshire.- Right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42So, bad luck, Barry.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Pat, your question, and if you get this right,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47you're in the final round.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52The Avenue of the Baobabs is a tourist attraction on which island?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, I haven't heard of this avenue.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You do get Baobabs on mainland Africa.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07But they're particularly associated with Madagascar.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So...have I any reason to go anywhere else?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Cuba, Sri Lanka...
0:10:11 > 0:10:15No. I think I have no choice but to go with Madagascar.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- What is a baobab? - It's almost like an inverted tree.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's got a colossal trunk and sort of spindly branches.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And it can store enormous quantities of liquid
0:10:25 > 0:10:28in its trunk for period of drought.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Really?- Very distinctive trees. - Interesting.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Madagascar is the right answer. Very well played, Pat. I'm sorry, Barry.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You caught him on excellent form there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That can happen with these Eggheads.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- It might be time to call for the Daleks!- Possibly, yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Or the Yarteks. Whatever it is that's going to take them out one at a time!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Barry, do come back to us, Pat, come back to us, and we'll play on.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53So, as it stands, Yartek Thistle have lost two brains from the
0:10:53 > 0:10:56final round, the Eggheads have not lost any. Where do we go from here?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58We go to Politics.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Who would like this?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Would have been me!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Do you want to do Politics, just in case Sport comes up next?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- That's a point.- We're better just...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Yes, no-one in the Glasgow Doctor Who side who can do Sport.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Is that right?- So are we doing me?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Deirdre, before you go...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Deirdre, then, against which Egghead?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28So...let's go for...Barry.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- OK.- Barry, please.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32OK, so Deirdre from Yartek Thistle versus Barry.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You had a whole series of games where you weren't being picked
0:11:35 > 0:11:38and now you're being picked all the time. Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45OK, so, Deirdre, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think I'd like the first set, please.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Here we go. Good luck to you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56The fear of Communist sympathisers during the Cold War was often
0:11:56 > 0:11:58expressed using which phrase?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I have heard this phrase,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so I'm pretty sure it's "reds under the bed".
0:12:07 > 0:12:11"Reds under the bed" is correct. Well done.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13THEY APPLAUD
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Some very polite Doctor Who applause coming your way!
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Barry, which of these countries became a member of NATO in 2004?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So I think that would rule out Egypt.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I can't imagine Jamaica would become a member of NATO.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I think I'm going to go for Bulgaria.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Bulgaria is correct.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Over to you, Deirdre.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Which British political party moved its London
0:12:49 > 0:12:54headquarters from Cowley Street to Great George Street in 2011?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I'm not sure of this one,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03but I've got a hunch and I can't tell you why I've got a hunch.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I think it's Conservative.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm afraid it's Liberal Democrat.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11OK, Barry, to take the lead.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Who was installed as the unelected Italian Prime Minister
0:13:14 > 0:13:16in November 2011?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I don't know who Giorgio Napolitano was, but Romano Prodi was
0:13:26 > 0:13:30an Italian Prime Minister, but he was much earlier.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The one who was installed recently was Mario Monti.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Mario Monti is the right answer. Good answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, he's taken the lead, which means, Deirdre,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43you need to get this one, OK?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47In 2011, which country's government lost a vote of no confidence
0:13:47 > 0:13:50after being found to be in contempt of parliament?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I am desperately trying to remember what my Australian friends
0:13:58 > 0:14:02have been saying on Facebook over the last couple of years.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Um... I'm going to...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'm going to go for another hunch and say Australia.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Barry, do you know this one?- I think I would have gone for South Africa.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14No. Actually, Canada is the answer, Deirdre.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Consolation that our Egghead didn't know it, but, I'm afraid, as there's
0:14:18 > 0:14:22no way back for you, you will not be in the final round and Barry will.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Yartek Thistle have lost three, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35The next subject, the last subject before the final round, is Sport.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37LAUGHTER
0:14:37 > 0:14:39The plan actually came off!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42It was not for nothing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- So this is Kenny now?- Yes.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Our secret weapon.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Kenny is a rarity amongst Doctor Who fans because he knows what sport IS!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Could we clarify? I know what football is.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I don't know what cricket is - we're Scottish, cricket(!)
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's an insect, isn't it?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Cricket, the insect, is unlikely to come up in the Sport round
0:15:02 > 0:15:04but we'll see, you never know.
0:15:04 > 0:15:11- So, Kenny, against which Egghead?- I think I'd like to try Chris, please.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15OK, so it is Kenny from Yartek Thistle versus Chris,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17who likes his sport. Sometimes. No, not really.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Getting quite good at it.- Yeah, he's won a few on sport recently.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Please go the Question Room and we'll quiz on.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So, we are on Sport, Kenny. Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Can I go second, please?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Chris, the finals of which Grand Slam tennis championships
0:15:36 > 0:15:38are held at the Rod Laver Arena?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well, Rod Laver was an Australian from way back
0:15:45 > 0:15:47so it must be the Australian Open.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52It is the Australian Open, well done. Kenny, your question.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What official name is given to the periods in-between
0:15:54 > 0:15:56stages of a triathlon,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59where competitors change equipment for the next discipline?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Looking at it, I don't think it'd be conversations.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That sounds too much like rugby.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Exchanges doesn't sound like a very sporty word so I think transitions.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Transitions is the right answer, well done. 1-1.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Chris, back to you. Which cricketer was given the middle name St Aubrun?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Don Bradman was just plain Don Bradman.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Garry Sobers was just plain Garfield Sobers.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So, it must be Jack Hobbs.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Let me ask your fellow Eggheads here. Anyone?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Gary Sobers.- Gary Sobers, they all say, Chris. Got it wrong.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Kenny, which jockey won his first Grand National in 2010
0:16:48 > 0:16:51on a horse called Don't Push It?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm not quite sure, I'm not very big on horse racing,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02as I like my money too much to gamble it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06So, I think, Frankie Dettori, he's been around for a long time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Tony McCoy, again, more recently,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10so I'd like to think it was Mick Kinane.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Well, this person won on his 15th attempt.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Team-mates, do you know?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I think it's Tony McCoy.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Barry's right, Kenny, Tony McCoy is the right answer.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21On his 15th attempt.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24He just failed to capitalise, but, don't worry, you're still level.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Chris, at the London 2012 Olympics,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30what was the first event to take place in the modern pentathlon?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Well, show jumping's not in the modern pentathlon, is it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Neither's fencing, so it must be shooting.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Shooting's wrong, Chris. It's fencing.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46This should be a chance here, Kenny.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Get yourself in the final if you get this right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Which Scottish football team is nicknamed the "Buddies"?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Hibernian are the "Hibees".
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Partick Thistle, not Yartek Thistle, are the "Jags".
0:18:03 > 0:18:08St Mirren, from Paisley, and Paisley residents, are known as "Buddies".
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So pleased for you, you got it right. Brilliant.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12You're in the final.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14He shoots, he scores.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17That is complete coincidence that Partick Thistle's come up there,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19absolutely complete and utter coincidence.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21That just shows how crazy this game is. Well done, Kenny,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25you've knocked out an Egghead. You did indeed shoot and score.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27If you come back to us, both of you, we will play the final round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Well, that's a turn-up, Alan.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34The relief is indescribable.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We mentioned a lot of Doctor Who.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Colin Baker is one of the Doctors, I think the sixth one, is that right?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yes.- Tom Baker was the fourth, which is always confusing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Colin Baker's appeared on this programme, hasn't he?- Yes, he has.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47On Celebrity Eggheads.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- And he sat in that very chair.- Good.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54And they took it to Sudden Death so hopefully we can do the same.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Why did I ever think I was going to be able to surprise you
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- with that information?- Do you want to know who else was on the team?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04All right, so we've got real Doctor Who fans here, Yartek Thistle,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07and this is what we've been playing towards - it is time
0:19:07 > 0:19:10for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:12 > 0:19:14won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18So, Deirdre, David and Barry from Yartek Thistle, and also Chris
0:19:18 > 0:19:21from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26So, here we are, Alan and Kenny, and by the way, love the T-shirt, Kenny.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28At first I thought it was jacket.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31No, it's actually a replica T-shirt of Peter Davidson,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32the fifth Doctor Who's costume.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Complete with celery in the lapel.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37My wife said to me before coming in,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41"Please don't wear that T-shirt to go on TV." And I did.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Well, I hope it carries you to victory.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46You're playing to win £1,000.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:19:49 > 0:19:53that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02So, Yartek Thistle, the question is,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06are your two brains able to defeat the Eggheads' four?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Well, I reckon going first didn't do us very many favours
0:20:11 > 0:20:15so going second worked for Kenny so it's good enough for me.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24First question to the Eggheads. How many legs do adult butterflies have?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29They're insects so they must have six.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31So, we're happy with six.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36They're insects and the classic number of legs for insects is six.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Six is the right answer. Back to you.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43What are the dark areas called "maria" that are seen on the moon?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Maria. M-A-R-I-A.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Lunar plains is my head for some reason, I don't know why.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Plains, I'm thinking.- Yes.
0:20:55 > 0:21:02I'm thinking maria, marine, water, dried water, plains.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I think lunar plains. I don't know why.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I'm kind of tending towards that myself.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10We think plains.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Plains is the right answer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Really well done. Could easily come adrift on that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17OK, Eggheads.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20M Diddy is a nickname given to which public figure
0:21:20 > 0:21:22when serving time in prison?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30They've all done time. Martha Stewart is American,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34which is perhaps a slight... and Martha could be "M."
0:21:34 > 0:21:40- What's the Diddy bit, then? - Some sort of play on P Diddy...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But she was before P Diddy when she went to prison.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Jeffrey Archer or Jonathan Aitken...
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I'm sure if they'd been given that we would have heard that in the press.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I can't come up with anything for either of them
0:21:51 > 0:21:53that would relate to that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Yeah, well, we've not heard it before...
0:21:57 > 0:22:00In a way, it almost looks, because her name begins with "M", it almost
0:22:00 > 0:22:05looks too obvious, in a way, but we'll go with Martha Stewart.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Martha Stewart is correct.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Don't know this myself but I'm assuming it's a play on P Diddy?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12A play on P Diddy, obviously.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Does "diddy" mean small in America like it does, slang wise, here?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Not really.- Maybe... Does Diddy means small "M". I don't know.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's the idea she was down with the rappers in jail, wasn't it?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- I suppose.- Oh, yes, that would make sense.- That's what the fun of it is.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28All right, your second question.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31In French, the word for "inch"
0:22:31 > 0:22:33is the same as the word for which body part?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Right, nez.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Your thumb's about an inch, isn't it?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'm trying to think...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I wish I paid more attention...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jambe is leg.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Tete is head.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Nez?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I think it's either ear of thumb.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Thumb because that's probably about an inch.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08An ear because I seem to remember one of the bones in the inner ear
0:23:08 > 0:23:13being called something like inch, inchnea...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Ear or thumb.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- I reckon thumb's...- Thumb.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19We're going to go with thumb, after all that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21It is a great discussion. Thumb is the right answer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23BOTH: Yay!
0:23:23 > 0:23:27OK, so, here we are. Third question to the Eggheads.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Jules Cantini, whose house became a museum in Marseilles in 1916,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35was noted as a worker in which material?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It suggests he was dead, really.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Was he dead then? - His house became a museum.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Sort of.- Well, later, after he died.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Sadly, I haven't actually...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51One bit of France I haven't actually been to is Marseilles.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Could be an artist in steel but it's slightly unusual.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Yes, it's either glass or marble, I would think.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I would think so, I wouldn't think it was steel.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I don't know. What are various peoples' inclination on this?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Mine's glass.- Same here.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12I think mine is glass because we might have heard of it
0:24:12 > 0:24:13if it was marble.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yeah, well.- If he was a sculptor.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Unfortunately, we've never heard of the man,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24so that does make it a bit of one in three guess.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27And technically, well, not technically, it could have been
0:24:27 > 0:24:31any of those so...on balance, we're going to go for glass.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You were heavily going for glass in as much as you can
0:24:34 > 0:24:36when you're guessing.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And it's marble.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Never heard of him. - Interesting, now.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43How's that, Yartek Thistle, you played very well,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46you've got yourselves a chance here of the jackpot. So, just get this
0:24:46 > 0:24:49right and you've taken the contest and you are officially cleverer
0:24:49 > 0:24:52than the Eggheads. Which vocal group was originally formed
0:24:52 > 0:24:56to serve as a backing group for Clyde McPhatter?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I seem to recall... The Drifters are...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I can't think of them being particularly harmonised as a group.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I can only...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I might be completely wrong
0:25:11 > 0:25:17but I think I only tend to remember the lead vocal and not harmonies.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20The Temptations? Now, Temptations...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'm thinking of The Foundations, Build Me Up, Buttercup.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Temptations did...
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I haven't a clue on this one, I'll be honest.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30But I'm thinking of the words of Wet Wet Wet -
0:25:30 > 0:25:33"Gimme, gimme, gimme temptation."
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- A complete guess.- I think...
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Probably...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Temptations is...it's staring at me.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It's the one... - It's a complete guess.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49I think we're going to go for The Temptations.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- It's not The Temptations, it's The Drifters.- Oh.- Oh.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Eggheads, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Galileo Galilei Airport is located in which Italian city?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Pisa.- Pisa.- Definitely.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10That's Pisa.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13That is Pisa.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Hang on in there. Get this one right, the contest goes on.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Sudden Death, though I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21In which year of the 1960s was there no Christmas speech
0:26:21 > 0:26:24broadcast by the Queen?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Right.- So, why would there by no Christmas speech?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Assassination of Kennedy in '63.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- That's...- It's close to Christmas.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34November 22nd.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38The day before the first episode of Doctor Who, of course.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41There weren't any other... Were there any...?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Anything related to the Commonwealth, perhaps,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- that could have affected it. - Yes. Erm...
0:26:47 > 0:26:52The only thing I can think of in the '60s is the assassination of Kennedy.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54OK. If that's all we can think of, then...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58And it's within a month of Christmas, so...
0:26:58 > 0:27:03We're going to say 1963 as a mark of respect
0:27:03 > 0:27:05for the assassination of Kennedy.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well, you were in a position in this contest a moment ago where,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11had you got an answer right,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14a Drifters' answer, you would have beaten the Eggheads
0:27:14 > 0:27:16cos they let you in.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I wonder if you've got this right.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20The year of the assassination of JFK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23That didn't stop the Queen doing a speech.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26It was actually '69.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Because of the investiture of Prince Charles
0:27:30 > 0:27:32and a documentary about the royal family.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34She thought they were being over-exposed.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39The answer is 1969, so we say sorry, Yartek Thistle,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42and congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Well, the joy of this game, you started with some difficulties
0:27:51 > 0:27:55but then came through so strongly in the final and really were
0:27:55 > 0:27:58within a few inches on a question card of taking the Eggheads.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Well, we've done exactly the same as the Doctor Who team that came on.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08We've taken it to Sudden Death and lost on the final question,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10so we can be satisfied with that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13More than satisfied and really nice to see you playing as well.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Thank you for coming in. Commiserations to Yartek Thistle.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And they reign supreme over quiz-land once again.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm only pausing over that cos they've had their problems recently.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It does mean that you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Maybe you'll build up a bit of run again.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:36 > 0:28:40to defeat the Eggheads. £2,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
