0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are A Fine Vintage from Largs.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now this sociable bunch of friends
0:00:40 > 0:00:44have been meeting once every two months at one another's houses
0:00:44 > 0:00:46without fail for nearly 30 years.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50No, not to quiz, but to do blind tastings of each other's
0:00:50 > 0:00:55recommendations of wine, port and whisky. Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Eddie, I'm 67 and I'm a retired management consultant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm John. I'm 61, I'm a retired IT project manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 65 and a retired IT manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm David, I'm 56 and I'm a human resources director.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Alastair, I'm 55, and I'm a business development manager.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- So, Eddie and team, welcome to you. - ALL: Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Largs on the west coast of Scotland, is that right?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Yes, on the Ayrshire coast.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25OK, and you obviously have some very good sessions together.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Erm, they're sometimes difficult to remember.- You can't remember them?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:30 > 0:01:34They're that good. You do whisky, you do port, you do all stuff.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We do a blind tasting of six wines and none of us,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39including the host, knows what the wines are
0:01:39 > 0:01:43because our wives very graciously pour the wines for us
0:01:43 > 0:01:45before we enter the room.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49So we each have six glasses, numbers one through six,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53so we work our way through the six and decide which is which.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Do you then usually agree on which the best wine is?- Usually.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Do you really? - There have been...- Sometimes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yeah, but I think it's fair to say that
0:02:03 > 0:02:07when there's been a really outstanding wine we tend to agree.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09OK, well, if Food & Wine does not come up today
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- it's a complete travesty, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15It's not Food & Wine, it's Food & Drink, what am I saying?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16It was close.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18OK. Eggheads, who's the whisky person here?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- I like it.- Barry!- Barry. - Oh, everyone! OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- But I'm the only member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.- Ah!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Ah, good, so you have a kindred spirit.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Good luck, guys. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:33 > 0:02:35up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, A Fine Vintage, I can tell you the challengers did actually
0:02:42 > 0:02:46win the last game, which means that £1,000 is on the table today
0:02:46 > 0:02:48saying that you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Who would like this? - Who's going to take that?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- THEY WHISPER - Yeah...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I'll have a go at Arts & Books. - John's going to do Arts & Books.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03John on Arts & Books, against which Egghead? Any one of them, John.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- What d'you think? Dave? - Yeah.- Dave, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08OK, so John from A Fine Vintage
0:03:08 > 0:03:12against Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads on Arts & Books,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So they went straight for you on Arts & Books, then, John.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Yeah, afraid so.- Is that because of your drama activities?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, it could be. We'll see how good I am, though.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Tell us about the amateur theatre stuff that you do.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Well, I've been doing drama since 1979, I think,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and the last few years in panto I've been playing the Dame.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And currently we're rehearsing The Rise and Fall of Little Voice.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Now you've said you play the Dame in panto,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm not going to be able to get that out of my head!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- I'll send you a picture. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:48 > 0:03:49OK, good luck on Arts & Books,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Here we go.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01The best-selling 1999 book by Stephen Chbosky is called
0:04:01 > 0:04:03The Perks of Being A...what?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Now, the surname is C-H-B-O-S-K-Y, Chbosky.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, dear, this isn't a good one.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Erm, I don't think it'd be Cornflower,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20so I'll go between Wallflower and Sunflower.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And I'll just opt for Wallflower.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Wallflower is the right answer.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Well done.- Thank you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Dave, your question.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The Snail and the Whale and Room On The Broom
0:04:31 > 0:04:34are works by which popular children's author?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39I don't think it's JK Rowling,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'll have to go between Jacqueline Wilson and Julia Donaldson.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44With no certainty, go Julia Donaldson.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- You've never read The Gruffalo, have you?- No.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- She did The Gruffalo and she also did these.- Right, yes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55So you're bang on with Julia Donaldson. They're amazing books.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, here we go.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01John, the book Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World
0:05:01 > 0:05:03was written by which actor?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, I know that Simon Callow has got
0:05:09 > 0:05:11a one-man show about Charles Dickens,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13so he'll be my favourite pick just now
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and I'll have a look at the other two.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18No, I'll stick with Simon Callow.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Well done, you've got it right. Simon Callow.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, well done, John.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Very busy man. Dave, your question.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29The ghost story Eloise, first published in 2012,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32is the debut novel by which television personality?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I've got no idea.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Not heard of this at all.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45I'm going to go for Vanessa Feltz but, again, no certainty about it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I think Vanessa will be chuffed to be named, but it's not her.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Is it Judy Finnigan? - It is Judy Finnigan.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56OK, so, John, how's that? He's put you into the lead.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58You can clinch it with this question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03A portrait of 1519 by Sebastiano del Piombo in the
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Metropolitan Museum of Art is said to depict which historical figure?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I don't think it'd be Michelangelo.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And I don't think it would be Anne Boleyn, either.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I think with Christopher Columbus discovering the States...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I would go for Christopher Columbus.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Christopher Columbus is the right answer.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- John, you've taken the round. How's that?- Excellent.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Dave, you're knocked out.- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32No point in going back to you for the third question.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35John, you'll be in the final. That's great news for the challengers.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Please rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43So a very good start for A Fine Vintage. You've not lost a brain.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The Eggheads have lost a brain, Dave is out.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The next subject is Geography.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Geography. Who's going to...?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I think I got landed with this, didn't I?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Did you get landed with it?! - THEY LAUGH
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- It's you or me.- You guys decide then.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I'll go for it. - You going to go for Geography?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04OK, Dave on geography against anyone but Dave on this side.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- What are you thinking? - Daphne.- We'll go for Daphne.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Dave from A Fine Vintage versus Daphne from the Eggheads
0:07:11 > 0:07:14on Geography. Please go to the question room.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So, Dave, you've been on cruises, I know, so tell us
0:07:18 > 0:07:20where you've been cos it's another world to me, I must say.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well, I've done one cruise to Alaska which was very nice.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Central America, we did most of the countries there.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Colombia was the best of that lot.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30I've done the Caribbean
0:07:30 > 0:07:35and next year planning going out to Singapore and Hong Kong.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Sounds fantastic. Daphne, have you been cruising at all?- No.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Well, my husband thinks the worst thing in the world is to be trapped
0:07:42 > 0:07:45on a ship with lots of other people.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- And they'd all know who you are, as well.- Yes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And will they come up to you and ask you questions like,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51"What is the capital of Finland?"
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Helsinki.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55That's why you must never go on a cruise.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- DAPHNE LAUGHS - So it's Geography.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Dave, would you like to go first or second?- I'll try the first.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09Here we go. On which gulf does the port and capital city of Muscat lie?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Right, well,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I've got one that I think is the obvious answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's not the Gulf of St Lawrence.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It shouldn't be Odessa, so I'll go Gulf of Oman.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Gulf of Oman is quite right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So, excuse me for showing my ignorance here,
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Muscat is the capital of Oman? - Of Oman, yeah.- Right, OK.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Thank you for that, Dave. You've got the first one right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Daphne, over to you.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Rothesay is a town on which of the British Isles?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Rothesay is on the Isle of Bute.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56The Isle of Bute is correct, well done.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Dave, OK, here's your second question.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Traditionally, which country was divided into
0:09:01 > 0:09:0325 provinces known as "landskap?"
0:09:06 > 0:09:09My initial thought when you said that, I was
0:09:09 > 0:09:13thinking of Switzerland, but it's not one of the ones that's there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Erm, so I think I'm going to go for...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Austria.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Austria is wrong.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Sweden is the right answer. - Unlucky, Dave.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Sweden is the answer, Dave.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Daphne, over to you.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The Limpopo River flows into which body of water?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Erm...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40The Indian Ocean.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Yes?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Yes!- Yes.- You're right. - I'm trying to visualise it!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You've taken the lead, it is the Indian Ocean.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Dave, you have to get this one right now
0:09:50 > 0:09:52or you won't be in the final round. Here we go.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53The state flag of Wyoming
0:09:53 > 0:09:58features the white silhouette of which creature on a blue background?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Now, let's think about this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06I would have to go wolf.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Is he right, Daphne?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'd have gone bison.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Bison is the answer, Dave. - Dave, unlucky.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Daphne has taken the round,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Daphne will be in the final. Dave, you've been knocked out.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Plenty of time, though, for your team.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Do come back and we'll play on.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So, as it stands, A Fine Vintage have now lost
0:10:26 > 0:10:28a brain from the final round
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and the Eggheads have also lost one.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33The next subject for you, guys, is Film And Television.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Who would like this?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- That was me.- It was, yeah. - THEY CONFER
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's going to be Alistair.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Alistair on the end, against...? - Chris.- Chris.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Chris. We're going for Chris.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK, Alistair from A Fine Vintage versus Chris on Film And Television.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53To make sure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Tell us about your interests, then, Alistair.- My interests are music.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Steely Dan has been my favourite band for about 40 years.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05You could say I am a 100% Danorak, or disciple of Donald Fagen.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Right, so you've see them in concert?- A few times, yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- They still going now? - They're still going now, yeah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12OK, but you're on film and TV here
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- so I'm not sure we can promise any Steely Dan.- Well, you never know.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20And you're the one who isn't the regular member of the tasting group?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22That's right, I was the reserve member, I was the backup.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So I'm the man coming to rescue them today.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Are they going to let you into this wine-tasting group?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I think I'm being inaugurated next month, yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Especially if you win this round! - I think so, yeah!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Good luck against Chris. Film and TV,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37and Alistair, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Here we go, good luck.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44The phrase "soggy bottom"
0:11:44 > 0:11:48has become particularly associated with which television programme?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It's definitely not Strictly Come Dancing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I watched that, never heard it on that.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Countryfile I don't watch,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02but I would just say by the nature of it, The Great British Bake-Off.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05The logic is impeccable. You are quite right.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07The Great British Bake-Off.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10It would be worrying
0:12:10 > 0:12:13if it was either of the other two.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14OK, Chris.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18At the Oscars ceremony in February 2013, who made a surprise appearance
0:12:18 > 0:12:22by live video link to announce the winner of the Best Picture award?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29It wasn't Madonna.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Certainly...
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Yes, Michelle Obama.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Michelle Obama, yeah, has the status to do that.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Probably only her. Thank you, Chris, you're right.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Alistair, your second question.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49In which US sitcom was the character Maris frequently mentioned
0:12:49 > 0:12:51although her face was never seen?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I think that was Frasier, Jeremy.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Frasier is the right answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well done, Alistair!
0:13:03 > 0:13:04OK, Chris, your question.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08In 2012, filming of the TV drama Waterloo Road,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11originally filmed on location in Rochdale, moved to which town?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's not Rhyl.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Neither is it Ipswich, it's moved up into Scotland,
0:13:21 > 0:13:22it's filmed at Greenock.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It is filmed at Greenock, you're right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28OK, so, two points each.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Alistair, we're back with you.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Get this one right, you put pressure on Chris,
0:13:31 > 0:13:35and when the pressure goes on Chris, there can be terrible results.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38In which film does Audrey Hepburn say,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42"I don't bite, you know. Unless it's called for."
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Ooh. I'm guessing at this one.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It doesn't sound like something from Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'm going to take a guess and say, How To Steal A Million.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59You started well, but it's not How To Steal A Million, it's Charade,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Alistair. Which gives Chris a chance here. Chris, your third question.
0:14:03 > 0:14:061984 And A Half was an early working title
0:14:06 > 0:14:08for which science-fiction film?
0:14:13 > 0:14:18District 9 and Solaris are both fairly serious films.
0:14:18 > 0:14:231984 And A Half is a little bit jokey. A bit Terry Gilliam-esque.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25So it would be Brazil.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Brazil is the right answer, Chris, you're in the final round.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Alistair, you've been knocked out by our Egghead.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33But pretty tight, you played well.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Come back to us, both of you, and rejoin your teammates.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So, as it stands, A Fine Vintage have now lost two brains
0:14:40 > 0:14:44from the final round, the Eggheads have still lost one.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46The next subject for you is Music.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'm hoping you've got a musician here.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49LAUGHTER
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- We don't. - It's Eddie or David, isn't it?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Basically, this is a bit of a disaster
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- so I'm going to have to take one on the chin for the team.- Eddie, OK.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Which Egghead? It's Barry on one end or Kevin on the other.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- None of them is the easy option. - I realise that.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Who we going for?- So...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Kevin, just for the privilege of playing Kevin.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12A lot of people say that.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Eddie from A Fine Vintage versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Eddie, have you got a big record collection?- Couple of thousand CDs.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I very foolishly, like many others,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31gave away loads of vinyl several years ago when CDs came into vogue.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- I've regretted it ever since. - Yeah, I gave my vinyl away, too.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37We should form a club of people who regret it. Why did we do that?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Goodness knows.- I don't know.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42My son still loves vinyl and he gives me
0:15:42 > 0:15:45into serious trouble every time we talk about music.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49And you've got 2,000 CDs, is that ranging from classical to rock?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Very little classical, mostly rock.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55For example, about 50 of them are Neil Young albums.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57JEREMY LAUGHS
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I'm hoping you got at least one Steely Dan album
0:16:00 > 0:16:01or you'll fall out with Alistair!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I do have one Steely Dan album,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Alistair persuaded me to buy it and it was a mistake.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08LAUGHTER
0:16:09 > 0:16:12OK, Music, Eddie, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Here we go. Which famous family hosted the 2008 Brit Awards?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I have never seen the Brit Awards.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's not my kind of music generally speaking.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Doubt it would be the Beckhams or the Corrs.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35So I'll guess the Osbournes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37The Osbournes is the right answer.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Well done, Eddie.- Well done.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Kevin, your question.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Who released One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)
0:16:46 > 0:16:49as the official single for Comic Relief in 2013?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think that was One Direction.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58One Direction is the right answer. OK.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Your question, Eddie.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02"Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05"when the jungle shadows fall,"
0:17:05 > 0:17:07are the opening lines of which Cole Porter song?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, I can tell you there'll be two guys
0:17:13 > 0:17:16sitting out there beside you who know the answer to this straight away.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18John Wilkin and David Cameron.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Because they're the thespians and singers amongst us.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26The one I think it scans with is Anything Goes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So I'll plump for Anything Goes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33So, John, he was saying you would know the answer, is he right?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Night And Day.- Can you sing it for us so we can hear it?- No!
0:17:36 > 0:17:37LAUGHTER
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Eddie, it is Night And Day.- Ah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Kevin, your question.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46In 1978, the first ever UK production of the musical Chicago
0:17:46 > 0:17:50was staged at which British regional theatre?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Hmm. Right, OK.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I can't think of a reason why it would particularly be any of them
0:18:02 > 0:18:06so I am assuming there isn't a particular reason.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I haven't got the faintest idea,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12it's inevitably going to be a one in three...
0:18:12 > 0:18:13guess.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20So on the basis that the least known of those three,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I suppose, with all due respect to them and therefore why is it there,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27would probably be the Haymarket, Leicester.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30So maybe that's a trap, but I'll go for the Haymarket Leicester.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- No, it's not, it's the Crucible. - The Crucible, OK.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34There we are.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So Kevin has stumbled just as you did, Eddie. Is it a sign?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Here's your question.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The American classical musician Van Cliburn, who died in 2013,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46was a virtuoso on which instrument?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Could you spell that surname for me, Jeremy?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Yeah, Van and then C-L-I-B-U-R-N, Cliburn.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Well, again, I don't know. This is going to be another guess.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'll just go for...
0:19:02 > 0:19:07..the most common of these three instruments, and I will guess piano.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Interesting, you used Egghead-style logic on those answers.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Didn't serve Kevin just then, but it served you well,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16it is piano, well done. Nicely done.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So, Kevin is on the brink here slightly.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23If you get this one wrong, Kevin, you are out of the contest.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Ellen Orford is the main female character in which opera?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35She is the main female character in Peter Grimes. By Benjamin Britten.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Peter Grimes is the right answer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40So, Eddie, we go to sudden death now.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And it's a little bit harder, I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Yes.- Here's your first question. Music. Think about your 2,000 CDs.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- I shall.- Which American band,
0:19:50 > 0:19:55whose UK hit singles include Boogie Wonderland in 1979,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58was named after the elements in the astrological chart
0:19:58 > 0:20:01of the founder member Maurice White?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Fortunately, I think I know this one. I think that's Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Earth, Wind & Fire is quite right, well done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Well done, Eddie!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Kevin. On the edge again.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Which 1970 UK number one single features the line,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19"Now, if there's a smile on my face,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22"it's only there trying to fool the public"?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Well, the first part of that, "There's a smile upon my face,"
0:20:26 > 0:20:29makes me think of something in particular. So I'm just...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I've got to go for it, I think Tears Of A Clown.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Yes, you're right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38OK, Eddie, your question.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Who had a UK top 10 single in 2011 with I Need A Dollar?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Not my generation at all.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I doubt if I could even hazard a guess.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56I'll pick one of these reality show people.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58JLS.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01You'd know it if you heard it. It's Aloe Blacc.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Who?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER
0:21:04 > 0:21:07# I need a dollar, and a dollar... #
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Whatever. A good song.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13OK, Kevin, if you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17In 1986, Something Outa Nothing was a UK top 20 single
0:21:17 > 0:21:22for Paul Medford and which other member of the cast of EastEnders?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I'm trying to remember who Paul Medford actually played. Um...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I don't know, I'll try Tom Watts.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40No! Judith would know, anyone here know?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Letitia Dean.- Letitia Dean. - Oh, I see.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK, you got that wrong, Kevin.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48So, Eddie, your question, sudden death.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Which male vocalist had a UK top 40 single in 1977
0:21:52 > 0:21:54with Year Of The Cat?
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Oh! That's fallen into my lap, that one. That's Al Stewart.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Al Stewart is quite right. - Well done, Eddie.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06The CD collection is coming in handy, isn't it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- I bet that's in there.- It is.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Kevin, if you get this wrong, it's over, it's curtains.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18Nothing But The Beat is the title of which French artist's 2011 album?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Nothing But The Beat.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27I would assume the great club and beat man, David Guetta.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31David Guetta is correct. Well done.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You have to really work hard to shake him off.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Try again, Eddie.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Which folk group originally from Northumberland
0:22:39 > 0:22:41is fronted by sisters called Rachel and Becky?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The only folk group I can think of from Northumberland,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50who were a family group were The Waterstones?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- It's not The Waterstones, it's The Unthanks.- Ah, OK.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And their surname is Unthank.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Yes, yes, I do know them. - Rachel and Becky Unthank.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00OK, Kevin, your chance for the round now.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04The mediaeval German poets Walther von der Vogelweide
0:23:04 > 0:23:05and Wolfram von Eschenbach
0:23:05 > 0:23:08appear as characters in which Wagner opera?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Well, they were mediaeval court poets known as Minnesingers.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17They feature in the opera Tannhauser.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Tannhauser is correct.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23You've taken the round, but my goodness,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Eddie, you ran him very close there.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Very nearly took him out of the contest which would have been
0:23:28 > 0:23:30handy for your team, to say the least.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Yes. Closer than I expected.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Eddie won't be in the final, Kevin, you will.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36If you come back, we will play that final round.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41it is time for the final round
0:23:41 > 0:23:43which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm afraid those of you who lost to your head-to-heads
0:23:46 > 0:23:48won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52So, Eddie, Dave and Alistair from A Fine Vintage,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and Dave from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:57 > 0:24:01So, John and David, you are playing to win A Fine Vintage £1,000.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Kevin, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something
0:24:04 > 0:24:08that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:24:13 > 0:24:14and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17So, John and David, the question is,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It's possible, no question about that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Would you like to go first or second?- What do you think?- First?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- First, yeah?- We'll go first.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Here we go, good luck.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Which of these games involves guessing a word or phrase
0:24:34 > 0:24:36one letter at a time?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Is that Hangman?- Hangman.- It is. Beetle's where you roll dice for it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- It's Hangman, OK.- Hangman.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Hangman is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52OK, Eggheads.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56What name is given to an underground layer of rock such as coal?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Seam?- Seam of coal, yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Well, we're all agreed, we have a seam of coal so the answer is seam.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Seam is the right answer. Well done. Back to you, challengers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12What type of creature is a Scarlet Mormon, found in Asia?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- A Scarlet Mormon? - Have you ever heard of this?- Never.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Would you go for a fish or a lizard? Would we throw out butterfly?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I would... I would out throw butterfly.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Right. Fish or a lizard then? Lizard?- Lizard.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Lizard.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Butterfly should not have been thrown away!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35A Scarlet Mormon is a butterfly.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37OK, so the Eggheads, unfortunately,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40have the chance to take the lead now. Here we go.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43What was the athlete Daley Thompson's
0:25:43 > 0:25:46personal-best points total for the decathlon?
0:25:53 > 0:25:59- 8,000. Wasn't it? - 10,000 is a perfect score.- Yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:0110,000 is a perfect score in the decathlon
0:26:01 > 0:26:05and nobody's ever got anywhere near that. I think Daly got 8,847.
0:26:05 > 0:26:098,847 is the right answer. OK.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Now, the brutal truth here is,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14because they managed to get that right and we can't pretend
0:26:14 > 0:26:17it was difficult for them, you have to get this question right, guys.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Otherwise we're going to be drinking wine. Here's your question.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Which British actress, a star of the 1930s and 1940s,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31married the politician John Profumo in 1954?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- You got any ideas? - I just know it was controversial.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, no. You're thinking of the actual Profumo scandal.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45That was Christine Keeler.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Valerie Hobson is the least common one, I think
0:26:48 > 0:26:51she would have given up her career after marrying a politician.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Lockwood and Withers were still acting later on.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- But I don't remember Valerie Hobson at all.- Let's go Valerie Hobson.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04You've got it right, well done.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- JEREMY CHUCKLES - Valerie Hobson is correct.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10OK. It still leaves the game in their hands, unfortunately.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12But let's see what happens here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16In January 2013, the former Archbishop of Canterbury,
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Rowan Williams, took up his role as Master of which Cambridge college?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I thought it was Magdalene. - That's the one that...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Let's have a think, that's the one that leapt out.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- I don't think it's Jesus.- No.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Yeah, I think, I don't know it but I think that's my inclination.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Jesus or Corpus Christi would have stuck more.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It rings a tiny bell, I think. Not certain.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45There would have been punning references in the papers. Yeah.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- OK?- Yeah.- From the names,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Corpus Christi or Jesus would seem to have been obvious choices,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54but we're all agreed that we believe it was Magdalene.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58If you have this right, the contest is over.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Magdalene is the right answer, so we say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:28:01 > 0:28:02you have won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Commiserations to you.- Thank you. - Thank you. Congratulations.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Hopefully this was no more stressful
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- than one of your wine-tasting evenings.- Just a tad!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19We'll grab a few glasses of wine tonight.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I think so, you can afford to wind down now.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Commiserations to A Fine Vintage.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and they reign supreme over quiz land once again.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with £1,000
