These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:10 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
are the Business Belles, from Hertfordshire. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
This team of friends regularly quiz together at their local pubs, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
The King Will and The King Harry, in St Albans. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Hi, I'm June. I'm 45 and I run an advertising agency. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi, I'm Frances. I'm 54 and I own a PR company. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 56 and I'm a solicitor. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, I'm Alexis. I'm 56 and I'm a management consultant. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hello, I'm Julia. I'm 57, a retired police officer. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
June and team, welcome. Good to see you. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
So, business connections here? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Yeah, absolutely. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
-This is the network. -This is where it is. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-This is where it's at. -This is where it all happens. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Not only business, but quizzing, as well. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Absolutely. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
-So where do you quiz, June? -A variety of places. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Mostly The King Will and The King Harry pubs in St Albans, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
because they've got a bar and they've got a quiz. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
That combination seems to work for us. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
We're a little bit competitive, aren't we, ladies? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Just a little. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
-I'm sensing that already. -Just a smidge. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Just to show that this is a team with a lot of gumption, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
you once became Leo Sayer's backing singer, backing act or what? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
A combination of both. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
It was a happy accident, maybe not for Mr Sayer, but it was for me. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
It was at the Business Awards in Harlow. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
He wasn't getting the sort of reaction I hoped he would, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
so I helped him. Well, "helped" him | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
by joining him on stage. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
And going behind him and going, way. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Yes. There was some of this... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
You know the thing. You know the type. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
I bet it worked, as well. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
It did. They loved him. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
OK, well, you can do that to your team, if you start to fall behind. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-Why, thank you. -Absolutely. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
It might not even be necessary. Good luck against the Eggheads. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
So, Business Belles, the Eggheads have won the last five games, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
which means £6,000 says you can't beat them today. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-Do you want to crack on? -ALL: Yes. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Who would like this? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
Politics, ladies. How do we feel about that? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Who's the strong one on Politics? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Politics. It's probably going to be me. What do you think? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-I think it's going to have to be me. -I think it is. The lovely Sarah. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-OK. -Sarah will be playing on Politics. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Sarah against which Egghead? Any one of them. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Mm, tough one, isn't it? -I would like to quiz Chris. -Yes. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
I think you should, then. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-Then you get Chris. Chris, please. -You absolutely can. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Sarah from the Business Belles against our own belle over here. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
Brighton Belle. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
please take your positions in the question room. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Your choice, Sarah, would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
I'll go first, thank you. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Here we go. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
The 2012 Draft Communications Data Bill, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
which permitted monitoring of people's online activities, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
was given what popular name? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Well, as a lawyer I should know the answer to this question, | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
but I don't think I do. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
I'm not sure it's going to be Square Deal. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Or Sharing Violation. So I think I'm going to go for Snooper's Charter. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Snooper's Charter is quite right. Well done. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Chris, your question. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
In February 2013, basketball player Dennis Rodman | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
made a controversial visit to which world leader? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
It wouldn't be Kim Jong-un, would it? He's North Korea. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
It is. It is him. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Beyonce and her husband were in trouble going to Castro. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
So Dennis Rodman must have gone to visit Robert Mugabe. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
No, no, no, no. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
It's the one you ruled out completely firmly. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-It's Kim Jong-un. -Yeah. -Kim Jong-un. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
There we go. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Sarah, the Office of Budget Responsibility | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
is a public body that was formally created under whose premiership? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
I don't think it was John Major. I think that's probably too early. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
I think, probably, Tony Blair. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
I'm going to go for Tony Blair. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
I think it's the right time. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
No, actually it was more recent. David Cameron, the OBR. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
Your question, Chris. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
In 2010, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
Labour MP Stella Creasy began a campaign against which of these? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
Well, bedroom tax is recent - sort of, 2013 Budget, isn't it? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
Payday loan companies only really started coming under | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
the cosh in, what, early 2013? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Before that, they were more or less tolerated. I think... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
..Ms Creasy is campaigning against the HS2 Rail line. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-Do you know this? -We think it's HS2. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
No, he's not right. It's payday loan companies. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Chris, two out of two wrong. How often do we see that | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
from Chris? With one point, Sarah, if you get this one right, | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
you will be in the final round, you'll have knocked him out. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
In March 2013, Liberal Democrat MP Mike Thornton | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
took his seat in the Commons after winning a by-election | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
in which constituency? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
OK, I don't remember this by-election, at all. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
I don't think it was Forest of Dean. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
My instinct is to go for Eastleigh, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
but Dagenham and Rainham is drawing me in. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
I'm not really sure. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
I'll go for Eastleigh. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
I think that they were transmitting their thoughts to you | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
from this side of the studio, cos you're right. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Yeah, it's Eastleigh. Sarah, you got it right. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Eastleigh is the answer. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
That means, Chris, with no points on the board, | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
you are not in the final round. I'm sorry. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Sarah is. Good start for the Challengers here. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Do please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
So, interesting start. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
The Business Belles have not lost a brain from the final round. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
The Eggheads have lost a brain. They've lost Chris. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
The next subject for you is Music. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
-Mm, Music. I think it's got to be you. -Yeah, I'll do it. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
The lovely Frances, please. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
Frances, against which Egghead? There they all are. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Not Chris, obviously. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
-I think it's only got to be one. -It's got to be Daphne. She's my heroine. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
It's got to be Daphne. I shall happily lose against Daphne. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
OK, so Frances from the Business Belles against Daphne her heroine. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
But that won't take the edge off Daphne's performance. She is steel. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
And fiercely competitive. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
She looks like a really nice grandmother | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
and she's like a lethal weapon, Daphne. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
Then, the handbag comes out. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
would you please take your positions in the question room? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
Frances, first or second set of questions? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
I'd like to go first please, Jeremy. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Here we go. Good luck. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
Which of these had a number of UK hit singles in the early 1980s? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
Ah, now that's interesting. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
I... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
I thought Fame was possibly earlier than that, unless it was the TV show. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:27 | |
I had no idea that the kids from Dallas had any music. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
Kids From Cheers? There weren't any kids in Cheers. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
I think I'm going to go for The Kids From Fame. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
Well done. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
I was worried you were drifting into another decade for a second. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Kids From Fame, of course, with Irene Cara and all that. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
OK, Daphne, in March 2013, it was announced | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
that which female singer would represent the UK | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Oh, yes. It's Bonnie Tyler. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-It is, indeed, Bonnie Tyler. -Yeah, she's Welsh. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
She's Welsh. Yes, she is. Yeah, yeah. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
OK. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Frances, which Tom Jones hit begins with the line, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
"Love is like candy on a shelf."? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
I'm trying to sing it to myself. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
It's... I think it's Help Yourself. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Yeah. It's not an easy question. You're quite right there. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
Help Yourself, it is. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
Thank you. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
Daphne, the name of which city is the title of a song | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
in the musical Evita? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
It must be Buenos Aires. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-You look confused. -Yes. I was trying to remember it. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
I've only seen Evita once. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
I just assumed you were doing nothing but watching musicals. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Is it Buenos Aires? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
-It is Buenos Aires. Well done. -Oh, good. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
OK, so two each. Third question. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Frances, at the age of 18, the composer Hector Berlioz | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
was sent by his father to Paris to study which subject? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
I, sort of, suspect it's not accountancy. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
I think it might have been law or medicine. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
Fathers always seem to want to send their sons... | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
..into medicine or law, so I'm... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Medicine or law. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
I'm drawn to medicine, so I'll just say medicine. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
Yeah, superb play. You're right. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-No. -Medicine, it is. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Daphne, here you go. You're on the edge here. You're teetering, Daphne. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
If you get this wrong, you're out. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
"I Really Didn't Mean It" and "Give Me The Reason" | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
were UK hit singles in the late 1980s for which singer? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
Well, the only one I've heard of is Luther Vandross, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
so I'm really sorry, team, but that's my answer. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
-Well, Challengers, is she right? -She is. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
She does this all the time. Well done, Daphne. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
It is Luther Vandross. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
I hadn't heard of the other two. Sorry. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
We go to sudden death, Frances. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Here we go with your first question. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
A live version of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
went to the UK number one spot in 1991 | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
for Elton John and which singer? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
Oh, my goodness. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
Oh, I know he had a hit with Kiki Dee, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
but I don't think it was that one. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
I really don't know. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
Oh, was it George Michael? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
It's a guess. I'm going to say George Michael. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Elton made a guest appearance at a George Michael concert. Well done. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-No. -George Michael. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
You're playing a very good game here, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
challengers - Business Belles. Daphne, over to you. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
Life In A Beautiful Light, released in 2012, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
is the third studio album | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
by which female Scottish singer-songwriter? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Kate Nash. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
-You said Kate Nash. Eggheads? -Is it Amy McDonald? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-Amy McDonald is the answer. -Oh, right. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
-Daphne. -I'm out. -No easy way to say it, you are gone. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
-Well done, Frances. -I can't believe it. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-Wow. -Ooh, this is hotting up, isn't it? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
They haven't had a contest like this for a while, I can tell you. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
You've won the first two rounds. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Please, both of you, come back to us and we will play on. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
So, as it stands the Business Belles have not lost a brain | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
from the final round yet. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
The Eggheads have lost two. The next subject is Science. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Who would like Science? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
I think that's me, isn't it? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-OK, Alexis. Against which Egghead? -Right, which Egghead? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Dave or Kevin or Judith. Has to be one of these three here. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Judith isn't very good on Science. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
I think I'll have Judith, please. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-I thought I heard that coming. -LAUGHTER | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-You put your scientific look on, as well. It didn't work. -Oh, did I? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Yeah, that laboratory gaze. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
Alexis from the Business Belles versus Judith from the Eggheads, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
on Science, please both of you go to our question room now. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
So, Alexis, would you like to go first or second? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
I think I'll go second, please. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
OK, here we go. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Judith, hyperemesis gravidarum is often considered to be | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
an extreme form of which condition associated with pregnancy? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
I think it's what Kate had, which is morning sickness. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
Extreme morning sickness. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
It is indeed morning sickness. You're right. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
Can be very nasty indeed. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
Alexis, hertz was the new name given to which of these units after 1960? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
I know that. It's cycles per second. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
Cycles per second is right. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Judith, what name was given to Apollo 12's lunar module, | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
which became the second manned spacecraft to land on the moon? | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
Well, "The Eagle has landed," | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
was what they said when the first man landed on the moon. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
Maybe it was Eagle Two. It definitely wasn't Challenger. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
I'm hoping it was Eagle Two, as it were. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-If the first one was Eagle and the second one was Eagle Two... -Yes. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
..wouldn't it say Eagle Two down here? Just a thought. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Well, they might have just said, "The Eagle has landed again." | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
You had all the information there. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
It was not Challenger, it was Intrepid. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
So Intrepid is the answer. You're wrong. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Alexis, to take the lead. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781 | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
using a telescope in the garden of a house in which city? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
Gosh, I've got no idea. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Three Bs aren't very helpful, either, are they? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
I don't know why, I'm being rather drawn to Bath. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
I don't think it would be Birmingham. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
I wonder if it might have been Brighton. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
But I'm really... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:47 | |
I'm really being drawn to Bath, so I think I'm going to say Bath. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-Excellent. Bath is correct. -Oh, wow. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Anyone on the Egghead side know any more about this? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
It was Herschel. William Herschel. You can actually visit the house. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-It's a museum now. -He was just a citizen, was he? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
Yeah, effectively. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
At different times in his career, he had government grants | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
of one sort or another. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:09 | |
But, yeah, he was just a very keen astronomer. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
He was living in Bath at the time. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
There we are. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
We know everything now, Judith. It's been explained by Kevin. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
You need to get this next question right or you also | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
will have been deposed from your seat on high. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
Here's the question. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Which organisms are commonly made up of filaments known as hyphae? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
Yes, um... | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
I know about... Ah... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
I don't think it's viruses, anyhow. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
Is it attached...? | 0:16:42 | 0:16:43 | |
Oh, dear. I'm having a blank moment. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Really annoying. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
I think I'm going to say Fungi. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Fungi is the right answer. -Oh, thank goodness for that. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
So...it's level, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
but you can get in the final by just getting this one right, Alexis. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
In 1799, the government purchased the collection of John Hunter | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
and presented it to which institution | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
where it is now on display in a museum? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
I'm going to guess that it probably wasn't... | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
It's probably not the Royal College of Nursing. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I'm saying that just because it's John Hunter a male. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
Don't know whether that makes any sense or not. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Again, I'm being drawn to the Royal College of Surgeons, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
because I'm wondering if it's a collection of surgical equipment. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
Erm... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
I think I'm going to go for the Royal College of Surgeons. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
Royal College of Surgeons is the right answer. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
You've taken the round. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-Three in a row. Judith, I'm sorry, you're not in the final round. -No. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
It's a bit of a trend, isn't it? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Seems to be. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
OK. Let's see how the Challengers do, as we play on. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
Please, both of you, come back to us. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
As it stands, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
the Business Belles still have not lost a brain from the final round. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
The Eggheads have lost three. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:22 | |
Could we get into a situation where there only is one Egghead left? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
That very rarely happens. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
The next subject is Sport. Who would like this? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
CHALLENGERS LAUGH | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
I'll go. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
That sounds fantastic news. I'd love that, Jeremy, thanks. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
June on Sport. OK, so June against either Dave or Kevin. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
You're both too lovely, aren't you? As I'm going to crash and burn, | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
I'm going to crash and burn against Kevin, I think. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
All right. I understand that logic. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:53 | |
June from the Business Belles versus Kevin from the Eggheads, on Sport. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the question room. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
OK, June, so you've got to now crush Kevin on Sport. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Yeah, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah, yeah. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
There have only been, in the past on Eggheads, seven occasions | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
where they have been reduced to a single player in the final. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -It doesn't happen very often, but it's handy when it does. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
Keep my fingers crossed. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
I'd love to just get right on with it. First, please. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
OK, here we go. Good luck. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
Which of these is a position in a rugby union team? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
Mm, rugby. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
Sarah, is a rugby fan. She would know this. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
Is she screaming an answer? Probably. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Outside centre. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
That sounds possible. Inside outer. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Sounds like something you would do to socks, possibly. I'm not loving that. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Sarah's shouting. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Nearside header. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
I'm going to go with my not gut reaction, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
cos there is no skill here whatsoever, outside centre. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:07 | |
Well done, you've got it right. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
JUNE LAUGHS | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
Thanks. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
The force is with you. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
OK, Kevin, which driver, Kevin, | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
won the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix, | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
the first Formula 1 race of the 2013 season? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
I believe that was Kimi Raikkonen. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
It was, indeed, Kimi Raikkonen. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Too much to ask him just to trip up on that first question, wasn't it? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Yeah. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
OK. Back to you, June. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
Who became New Zealand's test cricket captain in 2012? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Now, I'm not even sure you have to be from the country to do this job. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
But I'm going to go with that. Who sounds like a Kiwi? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
Mr Vettori doesn't. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
I can't hear anyone screaming at me. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Brendon McCullum sounds kind of Australasian. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
So does Stephen Fleming. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
So...gut reaction. I'm going with Mr McCullum. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
Brendon McCullum. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Let's see what your team think. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
Well, we're not sure, but we're hoping it's right. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
Quite a bit of collective sporting knowledge | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
on this side of the studio. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
Brendon McCullum is the right answer. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
Oh, the power of positive thinking, isn't it? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Lesson for us all. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:33 | |
OK, Kevin, which British boxer unsuccessfully challenged | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Vitali Klitschko for the WBC Heavyweight title in February 2012? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:42 | |
I think Haye lost against one of the Klitschkos, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
possibly the previous year. I think this one... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
..was actually Dereck Chisora. I think this was Chisora. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Chisora is your answer. Dereck Chisora is correct. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
OK, so you're right with that, Kevin. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
Again, June, I can only apologise for the fact | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
that they are the Eggheads. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
They are. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
The third question can be crucial. Here's yours. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
In February 2013, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
Paolo Di Canio quit as manager of which League One football team? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
I've got a funny feeling it was a London team, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
which only leaves Leyton Orient. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
But I don't know if any of them are in that league, | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
but then I don't know anything about any of the leagues. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
So really, pot luck. I'm going to go with Leyton Orient, please. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
No, it's Swindon Town. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
Swindon Town. I think maybe there is a London connection. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-He played for West Ham. That might have been... -That's what I meant. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
..what took you in that direction. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
Swindon Town is the answer. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:50 | |
Kevin has the chance to book his place in the final round. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Here's your question, Kevin, for the round. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
In which sport is Vincenzo Nibali a famous name? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
I think he's a prominent cyclist. Cycling. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
Cycling is the right answer, Kevin. You're in the final round. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Maybe he's turning the tide for the Eggheads, let's see. June, sorry. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
The skipper's been knocked out. It's been going well so far. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
Please come back to us and we will play that final. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Well, what's going to happen now. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:23 | |
It is time for the final round, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
So that's June from the Business Belles, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
and also Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
Would you please leave the studio? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
So, Frances, Sarah, Alexis and Julia, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
you are playing to win the Business Belles £6,000. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't buy - | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
This time, the questions are all general knowledge. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
Business Belles, the question is | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
can your four brains overhaul the Eggheads two here | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
and continue the bashing you've meted out so brilliantly? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
-We'll try. -It's made this programme so entertaining today. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
What do you think? First? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
We're going to go first, Jeremy. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Here we go, and all the very best. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
What name is usually given to an individual leaf of grass? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Blade. It's blade, definitely. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
We think that's a blade, Jeremy. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Blade is the right answer. Well done. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
Eggheads, over to you. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
According to the popular version of the nursery rhyme Rub-a-dub-dub, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
how many men are in the tub? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
-Three men in a tub. -It's three. -Three men in a tub. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-Rub-a-dub-dub... -Three men in a tub. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
We believe that's three men in a tub, Jeremy. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
That was one of the funniest conversations you two have had... | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-LAUGHTER -..in the history of Eggheads. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
-It was just beautiful. -It probably made more sense than most of them. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Yeah, brilliant. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
Three is the right answer. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:12 | |
OK, in 1936, Billy Butlin opened the first of his holiday camps | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
on a former sugar beet field near which seaside town? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
-I think it was Skegness. -Because sugar beet is Lincolnshire. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
-Yeah, that's true. -I think it's Skegness. -Skegness. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
-Are you happy? -Yes. -Morecambe's on the west coast. Whitley Bay. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
There isn't a Butlins on Morecambe or Whitley Bay, anyway. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Oh, you've been. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
I used to work for them. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Oh, did you? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Actually, there might be one in Morecambe. Anyway, Skegness. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
We're saying Skegness. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Skegness is the right answer. Two out of two, well done. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
Eggheads, what type of geological feature is the Calderone in Italy? | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
C-A-L-D-E-R-O-N-E. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
That'll be a volcano, then. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Yeah, a calderone is a volcanic crater, so it must be a volcano. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
We believe that's a volcano, Jeremy. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
The Calderone is a volcano, you say. Do you think they're right? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
-No, we think it's a hot spring. -How interesting. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Oh, look at the panic here. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
-It's not a hot spring. -Oh. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
It's not a volcano, either. It's a glacier. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
-Oh, right. -Really? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Well, we did that on the basis that caldero | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
is a word for a volcanic crater, so... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
Very unusually, you somewhat snatched at it, Eggheads. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
-Well, there was never a... -Never a doubt. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Never a doubt about that, no. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
-This is looking good. -Very interesting! | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
-OK, so... -We need to get this one. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Exactly. If you get this one right, | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
they don't even have another chance, the contest is over. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
They can't come back. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
If you get this one right, you've won the jackpot. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
No pressure. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
June has here fingers crossed back there. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Here's your question - | 0:27:09 | 0:27:10 | |
who wrote the novel The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
It's definitely not Rose Tremain. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
It's definitely not Kate Mosse. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
It's Deborah Moggach. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:25 | |
She wrote an article | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
about meeting somebody | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
over the age of 60. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
It's Deborah Moggach. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:30 | |
Deborah Moggach is the correct answer. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Congratulations to the Business Belles. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
You've won! | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
THEY CHATTER EXCITEDLY | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
Well... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
That's so interesting. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
I thought, as they began to push back I thought, "Ah, they do this." | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
-Unbelievable. -Amazing. -We're so happy. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
-The Calderone. -Caldo is hot. We thought it was hot. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
Yes, caldo is hot, isn't it? | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
It was one of those questions, I think. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
That's why we went for hot spring. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Thank you. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:09 | |
-Well done. Well done. -Well deserved. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
Very well deserved. Congratulations. Well done, Business Belles. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
-So, yeah, £6,000. June, how about that back there? -Get in there! | 0:28:15 | 0:28:20 | |
See, the sporting round was just set up to make them think | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
that you were weakening. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
OK, so you have won the £6,000. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads, Business Belles. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
You've proved they can be beaten. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
-HE SIGHS -That was a great game. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
It was very good. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:36 | |
Join us next time on Eggheads, | 0:28:36 | 0:28:37 | |
to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
Until then, well done and goodbye. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 |
