These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:31

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:32

Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Chemical Waste.

0:00:320:00:36

Four of this team met while studying chemistry at Leicester University

0:00:360:00:40

and, to complete the team, Georgie has recruited her boyfriend, Robin.

0:00:400:00:45

So let's meet them.

0:00:450:00:46

Hi, I'm Georgie, I'm 22 and I'm a chemistry student.

0:00:460:00:49

Hi, I'm Robin, I'm 23 and I'm a junior software engineer.

0:00:490:00:52

Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 23 and I'm a chemistry student.

0:00:520:00:56

Hi, I'm Jacob, I'm 22 and I'm a trainee teacher.

0:00:560:00:59

Hi, I'm Becci, I'm 21 and I'm a carer.

0:00:590:01:01

So, Georgie and team, welcome.

0:01:010:01:03

Were you all studying the same thing at Leicester?

0:01:030:01:07

No, we had slightly different chemistry degrees.

0:01:070:01:09

I had pharmaceutical chemistry.

0:01:090:01:12

I had forensic chemistry.

0:01:120:01:13

-Forensic, pharmaceutical...

-And we are just straight.

0:01:130:01:17

OK, but they were still chemistry.

0:01:170:01:19

All chemistry, yeah, just other bits, as well.

0:01:190:01:21

Yeah, sure. But Robin is from a different place.

0:01:210:01:25

The same place, but I was studying photography.

0:01:250:01:27

-At De Montfort University.

-We've got a bit of breadth there.

0:01:270:01:31

Photography and chemistry.

0:01:310:01:33

A lot of chemistry. I'm going to be so upset if science doesn't come up.

0:01:330:01:37

-LAUGHTER

-We will, too.

0:01:370:01:40

Do you still quiz?

0:01:400:01:41

We don't quiz all together, because we live in... Well, three of us

0:01:410:01:45

live in Leicester, still,

0:01:450:01:46

but Jacob lives in York and Becci is in Wakefield now.

0:01:460:01:52

We haven't quizzed together as a team in a long time.

0:01:520:01:54

It's the first time in a while.

0:01:540:01:56

I don't think we've had a team called Chemical Waste before.

0:01:560:01:59

Am I to take from that you don't feel you are yet

0:01:590:02:02

in the jobs that you should be with your chemistry degrees?

0:02:020:02:05

When we started quizzing, we didn't intend to continue with science,

0:02:050:02:10

really, but it turns out most of us have.

0:02:100:02:13

So it's not the most appropriate name any more.

0:02:130:02:15

But we're sticking with it.

0:02:150:02:17

Good luck to Chemical Waste.

0:02:170:02:18

Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:180:02:21

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:210:02:24

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:240:02:26

So, Chemical Waste, the Eggheads have won just the last game,

0:02:260:02:30

which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:300:02:33

The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.

0:02:330:02:37

-Not chemistry.

-I think that's you.

0:02:370:02:40

-Yes, that's me.

-Phil on history. OK. Phil against which Egghead?

0:02:400:02:43

I'll take History

0:02:430:02:45

-and I'll go against Tremendous Knowledge Dave, I think.

-OK.

0:02:450:02:47

Phil from Chemical Waste against Tremendous Knowledge Dave on History.

0:02:470:02:50

Just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:500:02:53

would you please take your positions in our question room.

0:02:530:02:55

Have you got a history background, Phil, or are you another chemist?

0:02:570:03:01

No, I'm a chemist. It's more of an interest than anything else.

0:03:010:03:04

-And you are a drummer, as well?

-Yes. Whenever I get the chance.

0:03:040:03:06

Not so much in Leicester, because it would annoy the neighbours.

0:03:060:03:09

But back at home, yeah, when I get the chance.

0:03:090:03:12

It annoys your parents then, does it?

0:03:120:03:13

Probably a little bit, but they let me get away with it.

0:03:130:03:17

OK, well, get the drums out if you get into trouble in this round.

0:03:170:03:19

History is the subject, and would you like to go first or second?

0:03:190:03:23

I'll go first, please.

0:03:230:03:24

Here we go. How many times did Queen Mary I of England marry?

0:03:270:03:31

Mary I was married to Philip II of Spain.

0:03:340:03:41

So I think I'm going to go for probably just once.

0:03:410:03:46

-Is he right about Philip II?

-Great answer.

-Well done.

0:03:460:03:49

You got it right, Philip. OK.

0:03:490:03:52

We are dealing with an historian disguised as a chemist.

0:03:520:03:55

This guy knows his history. Taken us by surprise.

0:03:560:03:59

Tremendous Knowledge Dave, who was king of Great Britain and Ireland

0:03:590:04:03

for nearly 60 years, until his death in 1820?

0:04:030:04:06

-That's George III.

-George III is quite right.

0:04:100:04:14

OK, Phil, back to you.

0:04:150:04:16

Samarkand, a major city in modern-day Uzbekistan,

0:04:160:04:21

had a central position on which historic trade route?

0:04:210:04:25

OK, I don't know this one. The Silk Road ended up in China.

0:04:300:04:36

So I guess it's a bit out of the way.

0:04:370:04:40

Um... I think am going to have to go for the Appian Way.

0:04:400:04:44

Now, let's have a think. Appian Way, Eggheads, is that Rome?

0:04:460:04:49

-Brindisi in Italy.

-So, in Italy. It's the Silk Road.

0:04:490:04:53

-Oh, it is.

-Phil, sorry.

0:04:530:04:55

I was sure you were going to get that right,

0:04:550:04:57

you were playing with such confidence.

0:04:570:04:59

OK, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, to take the lead.

0:04:590:05:01

In ancient Rome, a hypocaust was a type of what?

0:05:010:05:05

It's a central heating system.

0:05:100:05:12

Well done, Dave, you got it right. A central heating system.

0:05:120:05:14

So Dave is in the lead. It means you need to get this right, Phil.

0:05:140:05:17

Don't want to see you pitched out of the contest this early.

0:05:170:05:21

In 1802, the Saint-Cyr Academy was founded in France

0:05:210:05:25

for the training of which group of people?

0:05:250:05:28

Saint-Cyr is S-A-I-N-T hyphen C-Y-R.

0:05:320:05:37

1802. Um...

0:05:370:05:40

I guess around then there was a lot going on with the French Empire.

0:05:400:05:44

Napoleon was not far off.

0:05:440:05:46

I don't know, but, logically, I'm probably going to go for soldiers.

0:05:460:05:51

Soldiers is the right answer.

0:05:510:05:53

Have you put your wizard player into the first round here?

0:05:560:05:59

-Yeah!

-LAUGHTER

0:05:590:06:01

That's a high-risk strategy.

0:06:010:06:03

Because if Dave gets this one right, Phil is out.

0:06:030:06:06

Where in London was the proclamation

0:06:060:06:09

of the accession of Elizabeth II first read out

0:06:090:06:12

on 6th February 1952?

0:06:120:06:15

I don't know the answer to this.

0:06:210:06:22

The temptation was to go for Buckingham Palace.

0:06:220:06:26

But, you know, um...

0:06:260:06:28

I am just going to veer away from it. I'll go St James's Palace.

0:06:300:06:34

You've got it right. St James's Palace it is. Sorry, Phil.

0:06:350:06:39

Been knocked out there.

0:06:390:06:40

The wretched old Silk Road. That's so annoying.

0:06:400:06:43

Dave, well done, you're in the final round.

0:06:430:06:45

Please come back to us and we'll play on.

0:06:450:06:47

Phil, I'm sorry to see you go,

0:06:490:06:50

because I can tell history is your thing.

0:06:500:06:52

Yeah, I quite like it. It's definitely an interest.

0:06:520:06:55

I read up about it when I can, but I guess it didn't fall right this time.

0:06:550:07:01

Georgie, I realise, tactically, you had to put him in for History,

0:07:010:07:04

because there was a good chance of him getting the round.

0:07:040:07:06

-He's a big loss.

-He's definitely a big loss.

0:07:060:07:09

Let's see where Chemical Waste goes from here.

0:07:090:07:12

Loving the team name, I must say.

0:07:120:07:14

They've lost a brain, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.

0:07:140:07:17

The next subject is Arts & Books.

0:07:170:07:19

-Who would like this?

-Robin's our arty man.

0:07:190:07:22

-Yeah.

-The non-chemist against... anyone but Dave.

0:07:220:07:27

I think I'll go against Barry, please.

0:07:270:07:29

OK, Robin from Chemical Waste versus Barry,

0:07:290:07:31

-who, by the way, is a chemistry graduate.

-Yes.

0:07:310:07:35

So this is a weird one.

0:07:350:07:37

The one non-chemist takes the one chemist on Arts & Books.

0:07:370:07:40

I can't work it out.

0:07:400:07:42

But to ensure there's no conferring,

0:07:420:07:44

please take your positions.

0:07:440:07:46

Robin, over to you. It's Arts & Books.

0:07:460:07:48

Do you want to go first or second?

0:07:480:07:50

I'll go first, please.

0:07:500:07:51

Here we go, good luck. Which pronoun is used

0:07:540:07:56

as the title of an 1887 H Rider Haggard novel

0:07:560:08:00

featuring the African Queen Ayesha?

0:08:000:08:02

Well, straightaway, I don't know this one,

0:08:050:08:07

so it's going to have to be a guess.

0:08:070:08:10

I'm going to rule out Me and She and opt for the royal We.

0:08:130:08:17

-Eggheads, do you know?

-ALL: She.

-She is the answer.

0:08:170:08:21

She is the original "she who must be obeyed".

0:08:210:08:24

-Is that right?

-That's where the phrase comes from, yes.

0:08:240:08:26

OK, your chance to take the lead, Barry.

0:08:260:08:28

The work known in English as The Three Musketeers

0:08:280:08:31

was originally written in which language?

0:08:310:08:34

-It was written in French.

-French is the right answer. Well done.

0:08:360:08:40

Back to you, Robin.

0:08:400:08:42

Which French phrase meaning "living picture"

0:08:420:08:45

refers to a group of motionless people

0:08:450:08:48

striking a dramatic pose?

0:08:480:08:50

Again, not so sure on this one, so it's going to be another punt.

0:08:550:08:59

I think I'm going to go with facade passant.

0:08:590:09:02

They're cleverly made up, these ones.

0:09:030:09:05

Judith, you're the French person here.

0:09:050:09:08

I think it's tableau vivant.

0:09:080:09:09

It's tableau vivant. Barry, your question.

0:09:090:09:12

Who wrote the novel The Soldier's Wife, first published in 2012?

0:09:120:09:16

I don't know this one.

0:09:210:09:23

Joanna Trollope is more commonly associated with Aga sagas.

0:09:230:09:27

The Soldier's Wife doesn't sound that way.

0:09:270:09:30

I shall go for Helen Dunmore, but I really don't know.

0:09:300:09:34

-Judith knows.

-Joanna Trollope.

-Joanna Trollope is correct.

0:09:340:09:37

I think she did The Rector's Wife,

0:09:370:09:39

so maybe she had a series of wives.

0:09:390:09:41

Barry got it wrong. Not Helen Dunmore. Joanna Trollope.

0:09:410:09:44

How about that, Robin?

0:09:440:09:46

Back in with a chance, but you need to get this one right.

0:09:460:09:49

Chapter 1 of Book 1 of which novel begins,

0:09:490:09:51

"'I have been here before,' I said?"

0:09:510:09:53

I think the clue might be in the title with this one,

0:09:590:10:02

I'm going to go Brideshead Revisited.

0:10:020:10:06

Yeah, that is good quizzing, because you're right.

0:10:060:10:08

Well done.

0:10:080:10:10

It's one each. Barry,

0:10:120:10:14

if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:10:140:10:16

Which actress appeared in a reference manual for illustrators

0:10:160:10:19

early in her career,

0:10:190:10:20

and so was inadvertently the model for Jack Vettriano's work

0:10:200:10:24

The Singing Butler?

0:10:240:10:26

What an excellent question.

0:10:300:10:33

I know this picture very well,

0:10:330:10:34

but I didn't realise it was an actress who appeared as a model.

0:10:340:10:39

And I really don't know.

0:10:390:10:40

It could be Sarah Parish, but the woman in the picture

0:10:400:10:43

doesn't strike me as looking like Sarah Parish,

0:10:430:10:45

so I will discount her.

0:10:450:10:47

I think I'll go for Orla Brady, but I really don't know this one.

0:10:470:10:50

Orla Brady is the right answer, Barry. Well done.

0:10:500:10:53

Sorry, Robin, you started to motor there,

0:10:530:10:56

but I'm afraid he has beaten you in the round,

0:10:560:10:58

so you're not in the final and Barry is.

0:10:580:11:00

If you both come back to us, we'll play on.

0:11:000:11:03

As it stands, Chemical Waste have lost two brains

0:11:030:11:05

from the final round,

0:11:050:11:06

the Eggheads have not lost a brain. The next subject is Sport.

0:11:060:11:09

This, I think, is going to be good, isn't it?

0:11:090:11:11

ALL DISCUSS CONTENDER

0:11:110:11:14

Stereotype and throw in the boy!

0:11:140:11:17

-Jacob, I think.

-OK, I'll take Sport.

0:11:170:11:19

OK, Jacob on Sport against...

0:11:190:11:21

obviously it can't be Dave or Barry.

0:11:210:11:24

-Pat or Judith.

-Judith, I guess. OK, I'll take Judith, please.

0:11:240:11:28

-Oh, dear.

-I'm amazed.

0:11:280:11:30

She's not amazed at all.

0:11:300:11:32

Jacob from Chemical Waste versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport.

0:11:320:11:36

To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:11:360:11:39

Jacob on Sport, would you like to go first or second?

0:11:410:11:44

I will go first, please.

0:11:440:11:46

-Good luck to you.

-Thank you.

0:11:490:11:50

Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf,

0:11:500:11:52

and which other tennis star were the only players

0:11:520:11:56

to win the ladies' singles title at Wimbledon between 1981 and 1993?

0:11:560:12:01

I have no idea, to be honest.

0:12:060:12:07

Sport is, well, not an interest,

0:12:070:12:10

to say the least, to be honest!

0:12:100:12:12

I couldn't even begin to start to eliminate any of them,

0:12:140:12:17

if I'm completely honest. I've never heard of any of them.

0:12:170:12:21

When in doubt, I'm pretty sure everyone says go down the middle,

0:12:230:12:26

so I'll do the same, I'll say Lindsay Davenport, please.

0:12:260:12:30

Lindsay Davenport.

0:12:300:12:31

Funnily enough, this is stronger territory for you,

0:12:310:12:34

-because you love tennis. Who do you think it is?

-Chris Evert.

0:12:340:12:37

It is Chris Evert, Jacob.

0:12:370:12:39

-Did Lindsay Davenport win?

-She did once, in 2001, or something.

0:12:390:12:44

-Virginia Wade was the Jubilee year.

-1977, yes.

-'77, yes.

0:12:440:12:49

I remember it. My mum went crazy.

0:12:490:12:50

Here's your question, Judith.

0:12:500:12:52

At the 2012 Olympics, Perri Shakes-Drayton

0:12:520:12:55

represented Team GB in which sport?

0:12:550:12:58

She won a gold, but not at the Olympics,

0:13:010:13:03

but she represented GB in athletics.

0:13:030:13:07

Athletics is the correct answer. OK, Jacob.

0:13:070:13:10

More than 20 African countries boycotted the 1976 summer Olympics

0:13:110:13:17

in protest at which country's sporting links with South Africa?

0:13:170:13:20

Again, I'm not really sure.

0:13:250:13:27

I'm trying to think which countries

0:13:270:13:29

would have sporting links with South Africa.

0:13:290:13:32

I know New Zealand does a few things with South Africa, such as cricket,

0:13:330:13:37

rugby and stuff like that, so,

0:13:370:13:40

I will go with New Zealand.

0:13:400:13:42

But not sure why they'd be annoyed.

0:13:420:13:45

New Zealand is the right answer. Well done.

0:13:450:13:47

Judith, your question to take the lead.

0:13:470:13:49

Who was the first footballer

0:13:490:13:51

to win the PFA Young Player Of The Year Award twice?

0:13:510:13:55

Don't like football! Um...

0:13:590:14:03

How can you win it twice?

0:14:030:14:05

Because you're older the second time you win it,

0:14:050:14:07

you don't count, as it were.

0:14:070:14:09

Michael Owen was a kind of boy wonder, wasn't he?

0:14:090:14:12

I'm going to say Michael Owen.

0:14:120:14:14

Might have guessed that, but it's not right. Ryan Giggs is the answer.

0:14:140:14:18

Jacob, this is tricky now.

0:14:180:14:19

You've got one point, this is your third question.

0:14:190:14:22

Get this one right and put some pressure on Judith.

0:14:220:14:24

Your team needs you. Take your time here, Jacob.

0:14:240:14:26

The Kovacs and the Cassina are moves performed in which sport?

0:14:260:14:32

Again, I'm not really sure. Um...

0:14:360:14:39

For some reason, I find myself being drawn to dressage.

0:14:400:14:45

But, really, I've no idea why. Um...

0:14:450:14:49

Really don't think it is gymnastics or figure skating,

0:14:490:14:52

so I think I'll go with dressage.

0:14:520:14:54

Dressage. Judith, you might know,

0:14:540:14:55

because you like dressage. Is it dressage?

0:14:550:14:58

-It's either that or figure skating.

-Anyone on the team?

0:14:580:15:01

Figure skating, I think, but I don't know.

0:15:010:15:05

Everyone is wrong. It's gymnastics.

0:15:050:15:09

-Sorry, Jacob.

-Never mind.

0:15:090:15:11

Judith, your question.

0:15:110:15:12

What colour are the racing silks of the Godolphin horse-racing team?

0:15:120:15:18

If you get this right, Judith, you're in the final round.

0:15:200:15:22

They are blue.

0:15:220:15:24

-You've won on sport again.

-Well, it pays to read the papers.

0:15:240:15:28

There we are, you've done it. Well done, on sport.

0:15:280:15:31

And she's taken her place in the final round,

0:15:310:15:33

so maybe that whole jinx is now history.

0:15:330:15:36

-Sorry, Jacob, you've been knocked out by Judith.

-That's OK.

0:15:360:15:39

The upside is it will improve her mood for several days!

0:15:390:15:42

Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:15:420:15:45

As it stands, Chemical Waste have lost three brains

0:15:460:15:49

from the final round.

0:15:490:15:50

What do we do now, Georgie? Do we switch tactics,

0:15:500:15:54

-bring on another chemist?

-We're going to have to do!

0:15:540:15:58

Yeah. I think we'll just go for...

0:15:580:16:01

Have to see what comes up and work it out from there.

0:16:010:16:03

Desperate for science to come up. It has to come up.

0:16:030:16:06

But I have to tell you, the next subject chosen at random is Music.

0:16:060:16:09

-That's Becci.

-We've not had a chemistry question. Becci, it's you.

0:16:100:16:13

-Yeah.

-OK. Before you go...

-Oh, sorry!

-Tell us which Egghead.

0:16:130:16:19

-There they all are. Pat or Kevin?

-Kevin.

-Who's better?

0:16:190:16:23

Literally up to you.

0:16:240:16:26

Um, I'll go Kevin.

0:16:260:16:29

OK, some people just get a thrill

0:16:290:16:30

from being in the question room with Kevin.

0:16:300:16:33

That's because of his legendary status.

0:16:330:16:35

So it is Becci from Chemical Waste

0:16:350:16:37

versus Kevin from the Eggheads on Music.

0:16:370:16:39

Please go to the question room now.

0:16:390:16:41

Becci, although you are a chemist, you love your music, I know.

0:16:430:16:46

-Yes, you could say that.

-Because you do musical theatre.

0:16:460:16:50

I do. I direct at a youth theatre, so that's good.

0:16:500:16:56

We're doing Alice In Wonderland at the moment. A musical version.

0:16:560:16:59

Isn't that wonderful?

0:16:590:17:01

-So, music, Becci, would you like to go first or second?

-I'll go first.

0:17:010:17:05

Here is your question, Becci. Good luck against the maestro.

0:17:090:17:12

Which song, a UK number one in 2011, contains the lines,

0:17:120:17:16

"It's not about the money, money, money,

0:17:160:17:18

"we don't need your money, money, money?"

0:17:180:17:20

Um, I believe that song

0:17:240:17:27

is sung by Jessie J.

0:17:270:17:30

If it's not, I've just made a fool of myself,

0:17:300:17:33

but I'm going to say that it is Price Tag.

0:17:330:17:36

Price Tag is right. Well done.

0:17:360:17:37

Kevin, your question.

0:17:390:17:40

"Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven.

0:17:400:17:44

"Like the first dewfall on the first grass,"

0:17:440:17:47

are lines from which popular song?

0:17:470:17:49

-Yeah, it's Morning Has Broken.

-It is, indeed, Morning Has Broken.

0:17:540:17:59

Becci, which of these singers

0:17:590:18:01

was born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958?

0:18:010:18:04

1958, which would make, um...

0:18:080:18:11

This is where I'm going to get my maths wrong. Um...

0:18:110:18:15

55, will it make them?

0:18:150:18:19

Um...

0:18:190:18:22

I have...

0:18:220:18:25

no idea, really.

0:18:250:18:26

I'm going to say that... Could be really insulting here,

0:18:280:18:31

but I'm going to say Madonna's probably in her mid-50s,

0:18:310:18:36

so I'm going for Madonna.

0:18:360:18:38

That's excellent play, Becci, you're quite right. It's Madonna.

0:18:380:18:42

And I think Debbie Harry is over 60 now, is that right?

0:18:420:18:45

-She is, yeah.

-And Cher, as well, probably.

-Yes.

0:18:450:18:48

OK. Kevin, your question.

0:18:480:18:51

The songs I Hope I Get It and I Can Do That

0:18:510:18:54

feature in which musical?

0:18:540:18:56

I think... Well, I hope the clue is in the song title,

0:18:590:19:03

because A Chorus Line is about a group of hopefuls

0:19:030:19:07

trying to get parts in a big Broadway musical.

0:19:070:19:11

So I think it is A Chorus Line.

0:19:110:19:13

It is A Chorus Line.

0:19:130:19:14

Right up Daphne's street, that question, but she's not here.

0:19:140:19:17

So 2-2, Becci, you're playing well.

0:19:170:19:19

See if we can get you into the final and pitch Kevin overboard,

0:19:190:19:22

which would help.

0:19:220:19:23

Who composed the music for the pantomime ballet

0:19:230:19:26

The Miraculous Mandarin?

0:19:260:19:28

I've spent a lot of time, recently, looking over classical composers

0:19:320:19:38

and these three have not been included in my research.

0:19:380:19:45

So, I wouldn't even know where to start to narrow down.

0:19:450:19:50

So I'm going straight down the middle, I think, and say Bruckner.

0:19:500:19:54

It's Bartok. It is Bartok, I'm afraid..

0:19:540:19:58

OK, Kevin, your question for the round.

0:19:580:20:00

In which category did Gotye's album Making Mirrors

0:20:000:20:04

win a Grammy in 2013?

0:20:040:20:07

Hm. Hm.

0:20:110:20:13

I'll eliminate New Age, but...

0:20:140:20:16

He had a No 1 from it with Somebody That I Used To Know.

0:20:190:20:22

I mean, how would it be described?

0:20:250:20:27

Could it be described as alternative music?

0:20:270:20:30

I, um...

0:20:310:20:34

I think I would have to go for urban contemporary.

0:20:370:20:40

What do you think, team?

0:20:400:20:42

I think it's alternative.

0:20:420:20:44

Yeah. You're wrong, Kevin.

0:20:440:20:46

It's alternative, is it? Hm. OK.

0:20:460:20:48

Could maybe have been either,

0:20:480:20:50

but you got it wrong. So, alternative music.

0:20:500:20:52

Well done to you, Becci,

0:20:520:20:53

because you have taken the strongest Egghead to Sudden Death.

0:20:530:20:56

A tiny bit harder now for you.

0:20:560:20:58

I don't give you alternative answers, OK?

0:20:580:21:01

Which band released the album The First Of A Million Kisses in 1988?

0:21:010:21:05

Take your time.

0:21:050:21:06

I am just going to have to take a guess at it,

0:21:080:21:12

and I know I'm going to kick myself, but I will say...

0:21:120:21:16

I'm worried I'm going to get one that isn't even in the '80s now. Er, U2?

0:21:180:21:22

-It's not U2. When were you born?

-'91.

-'91! Wow.

0:21:220:21:26

Not having been there, physically existed,

0:21:260:21:28

at a time when this record came out is quite a good alibi.

0:21:280:21:31

It's Fairground Attraction.

0:21:310:21:33

Sorry, Becci, but let's see what happens here to Kevin.

0:21:330:21:36

For the round, Kevin.

0:21:360:21:37

Which progressive rock band, formed in 1966 in Lancashire,

0:21:370:21:42

became known by the initials BJH?

0:21:420:21:44

I think I'm in the same situation.

0:21:460:21:48

I'm sure I'm going to kick myself with this.

0:21:480:21:50

Nothing's coming to mind.

0:21:500:21:51

Formed in Lancashire in '66.

0:21:510:21:55

I can't think of anything, Jeremy, I'm afraid.

0:21:550:21:57

My mind has gone completely blank.

0:21:570:21:59

-That doesn't happen very often.

-No, it does occasionally.

0:21:590:22:02

It's something that I know I should know

0:22:020:22:04

and so I know I'm going to know the answer.

0:22:040:22:07

Oh, you're going to know the answer.

0:22:070:22:09

I'll take that as a pass.

0:22:090:22:11

If I say the word "Barclay", you'll get it straightaway.

0:22:110:22:13

-James Harvest, yes.

-Barclay James Harvest.

0:22:130:22:16

Oh, so you're still in it, Becci, come on. Good luck to you.

0:22:160:22:19

Book your place in the final.

0:22:190:22:21

Which venue was the home of the New York Philharmonic

0:22:210:22:24

until 1962, when it moved to the Lincoln Center?

0:22:240:22:30

I have absolutely no idea.

0:22:310:22:33

And it should be something...

0:22:340:22:37

..that I should know.

0:22:390:22:40

I have absolutely no idea.

0:22:420:22:45

So I am going to make something up.

0:22:450:22:48

SHE LAUGHS And, um, I will say the New York Opera House.

0:22:480:22:53

-Do you know this, Kevin?

-Carnegie Hall?

0:22:530:22:56

Carnegie Hall is the answer.

0:22:560:22:58

So Kevin has a chance for the round here on Sudden Death.

0:22:580:23:00

The musician Anoushka Shankar

0:23:000:23:02

is best known for playing which stringed instrument?

0:23:020:23:06

I think she has followed in her father Ravi's footsteps

0:23:060:23:10

-and I think she's a sitar player.

-Sitar is the right answer.

0:23:100:23:13

You've taken the round, Kevin. Bad luck, Becci.

0:23:130:23:15

You held him off for a while,

0:23:150:23:17

but it wasn't to be.

0:23:170:23:19

So tricky times for Chemical Waste in the final.

0:23:190:23:21

Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that final round.

0:23:210:23:25

So this is what we have been playing towards.

0:23:260:23:28

It's time for the final round,

0:23:280:23:30

which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:300:23:32

But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:320:23:34

won't be allowed to take part in this round. So that's Robin, Phil,

0:23:340:23:38

Jacob and Becci, from Chemical Waste.

0:23:380:23:40

Would you please leave the studio.

0:23:400:23:42

-Georgie, I know this wasn't the plan, quite.

-No, it wasn't.

0:23:440:23:47

But you can definitely still win.

0:23:470:23:49

You're playing to win Chemical Waste £2,000.

0:23:490:23:51

Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and Dave, you are playing for something

0:23:510:23:55

that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:550:23:58

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time,

0:23:580:24:02

the questions are all General Knowledge

0:24:020:24:04

and you are allowed to confer.

0:24:040:24:06

What's to do?

0:24:060:24:08

So, Georgie, the question is,

0:24:080:24:09

is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:24:090:24:13

-And would you like to go first or second?

-I'll go first, please.

0:24:130:24:16

All right, good luck to you, Georgie, here we go.

0:24:190:24:21

Which of these is a French word for "bird"?

0:24:210:24:24

I'm very pleased this came up

0:24:280:24:30

because I actually know a bit of French.

0:24:300:24:32

I did French S-level.

0:24:320:24:34

"Grenouille" is frog.

0:24:350:24:37

"Lapin" is rabbit

0:24:370:24:39

and "oiseau" is bird.

0:24:390:24:41

I wish I could give you three points for that.

0:24:410:24:43

I feel we should give three points for that.

0:24:430:24:45

It's just one, but you've got it right. Well done. Oiseau.

0:24:450:24:49

OK, Eggheads.

0:24:490:24:50

Ethel Skakel married

0:24:500:24:53

which member of the Kennedy family in 1950?

0:24:530:24:55

-Who's the spokesman, Pat?

-It's Pat.

0:24:590:25:02

-It's Robert.

-Ethel was Robert's wife.

0:25:020:25:04

Had lots of children.

0:25:040:25:06

That's Robert F Kennedy.

0:25:060:25:09

Robert F Kennedy is correct. OK. They're chasing you.

0:25:090:25:14

Here we go, Georgie, Lendal Bridge

0:25:140:25:17

and Skeldergate Bridge are in which city?

0:25:170:25:20

"Lendal" is L-E-N-D-A-L.

0:25:200:25:21

I don't know this one.

0:25:240:25:28

Trying to think. I'm just going to have to guess randomly.

0:25:280:25:31

I can't think.

0:25:310:25:32

I'm going to go for Preston.

0:25:340:25:36

-I don't know the answer.

-Eggheads?

0:25:360:25:38

-I suspect it's York.

-It's York. It's York.

0:25:380:25:42

Your chance to pull ahead, Eggheads.

0:25:430:25:45

What type of creature is a Bluefaced Leicester?

0:25:450:25:48

-KEVIN:

-Leicester are sheep.

0:25:500:25:52

A Bluefaced Leicester.

0:25:520:25:54

I don't think it'll be a duck. There are Leicester sheep.

0:26:000:26:02

There are certainly Leicester sheep, so that's the logical....

0:26:020:26:06

-Red Leicesters!

-That's a cheese!

0:26:060:26:08

-Yeah!

-LAUGHTER

0:26:080:26:11

Don't be distracting!

0:26:110:26:15

Yeah, I mean, I can't...

0:26:150:26:17

-It would be tricky to go for anything else.

-We go for sheep?

0:26:170:26:21

Yeah.

0:26:210:26:23

Er, we're not sure at all. We're going to go for sheep.

0:26:230:26:26

It is sheep. Well done, Eggheads.

0:26:260:26:28

Bluefaced Leicester are sheep.

0:26:280:26:30

That means, Georgie,

0:26:300:26:31

you've got to get this one right to stay in the game.

0:26:310:26:33

Take your time. Here we go. Third question.

0:26:330:26:36

In which film did Lauren Bacall play a character called Vivian Rutledge?

0:26:360:26:40

Again, I don't know this one.

0:26:470:26:49

Trying to think. I'm not very good on older films.

0:26:510:26:55

Something's drawing me to The Big Sleep,

0:26:560:26:58

but there's not really any basis behind it.

0:26:580:27:01

-Um, so...

-SHE SIGHS

0:27:010:27:04

I'm just going to go for The Big Sleep, I think.

0:27:060:27:08

-You've got it right. Well done.

-Thanks.

0:27:080:27:11

Here's your question, Eggheads.

0:27:120:27:14

If you get this one right, the contest is over.

0:27:140:27:15

In the card game contract bridge,

0:27:150:27:17

how many tricks must the team win to make a small slam?

0:27:170:27:21

Sometimes known as a "little slam".

0:27:210:27:23

ALL AGREE ON 12

0:27:260:27:27

Because 13 is a grand slam.

0:27:270:27:30

It should be 12, it's just one below the maximum.

0:27:300:27:33

That should be 12.

0:27:330:27:36

-I fear we have some bridge players here.

-Yeah.

0:27:360:27:39

The correct answer is 12.

0:27:390:27:41

We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:410:27:44

Commiserations to the team known as Chemical Waste.

0:27:490:27:52

Still a great name!

0:27:520:27:53

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:27:530:27:56

and they reign supreme over Quiz Land, still.

0:27:560:27:58

I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £2,000,

0:27:580:28:01

so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:010:28:05

Who will beat you? Join us next time

0:28:050:28:07

to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:070:28:09

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:090:28:11

£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
