0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are the Dalesmen Singers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now this team are all members of the same male voice choir
0:00:41 > 0:00:43based in Danby in North Yorkshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm John. I'm 69 years old and a retired builder.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Mark. I'm 43 and until recently was a university lecturer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Mike.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I'm 56 years old and I'm a business development consultant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm John. I'm 71 and I'm a retired medical physicist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Phil. I'm 67. I'm a retired chemistry teacher.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- John and team, welcome to you. Good to see you.- Thank you.- Hello.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The green jackets are part of the choir outfit, are they?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Yes, this is our uniform.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Great and so, how many people in the choir, John?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- We're 50.- 50? - Just over...just over now.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And I know you've raised a lot of money for charity.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We have, yes, and still doing. Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Tell us why you love singing in the choir.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38This last year or 18 months, it sort of got hold of me
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and I've enjoyed it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It's been good.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Mixing with these chaps and there's an awful lot of talent in the choir.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51And we sing in any venue and all over really.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- And you were a builder for a long time?- Quite a long time, yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And you've done building for most of the guys in the choir, I gather?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Quite a few and they're still my friends!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Their houses are all still up and all the building work is in place.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's still in place.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Well, I hope you can dismantle this lot.- We'll do our best.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Everyday there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:10 > 0:02:11up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:02:14 > 0:02:16rolls over to the next show.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20So, Dalesmen Singers, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the
0:02:20 > 0:02:24last two games which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Would you like to try?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yes.- Yes, we would.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Good, the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31How appropriate is that?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Wow.- Music.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- So, who would like this, John? - I would like it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I think we've got to go to our oldest member here.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- That's?- John Haywood.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The other John? John, who would you like go up against?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Erm...- Choose an Egghead.- Judith. - Judith, on Music.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK, John from the Dalesmen Singers versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And to ensure there's no conferring would you please
0:02:53 > 0:02:55take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00John, Music is the round. Your ideal subject, I know.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I'll go first.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Here we go. Good luck, John, and to your team.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Which female singer released the single Boomerang in March 2013?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Ah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Well, this is an interesting question in a field that
0:03:26 > 0:03:29probably is not my greatest strength.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34But I will...vote for Nicole Scherzinger.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Bang on. Well done!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40That's brilliant.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm assuming that was a guess but don't tell me that it was,
0:03:43 > 0:03:44that would spoil the illusion.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- No, it was a calculation. - OK, very good.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Judith, your question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52In August 1981, the UK album chart was topped
0:03:52 > 0:03:55by an official BBC album for which event?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- 81?- In August 81.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, that was when Prince Charles married Princess Diana
0:04:05 > 0:04:09so I imagine that it must be the Royal Wedding.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Royal Wedding is the correct answer.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13John, your question.
0:04:13 > 0:04:20Shop Lifters of the World Unite was a UK top 20 single in 1987,
0:04:20 > 0:04:21for which group?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I, er...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I favour The Fall.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38It's The Smiths actually. The Smiths is the answer.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39That was my second choice.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It could have easily been The Fall, if that's any consolation.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Judith, your question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri are characters
0:04:49 > 0:04:52in which Gilbert and Sullivan operetta?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Marco and Giuseppe?- Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Which sounds Italian. So, I think it might be The Gondoliers.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08The Gondoliers is the correct answer. Well done.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10OK, back to you, John.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The jazz musician Teddy Wilson was best known
0:05:13 > 0:05:14for playing which instrument?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Er, I'll try the Double Bass.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- The correct answer is actually Piano.- Oh, well.- So, bad luck.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Judith has taken the round. Well played, John, anyway.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Thank you for playing. Judith will be in the final round.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35But early days for the Challengers. Please both of you return to us now.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38So as it stands,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41the Dalesmen Singers have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45The next subject for you is Sport.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Who would like this?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I think...possibly me.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, the other John now, right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- It'll be the only chance I have. - OK, John.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Against which Egghead? Can't be Judith obviously.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I shall go for Chris.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- Yeah.- That all right?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07That's fine, he will look as if he's not enjoying that
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- but he will be enjoying it.- He will be.- Definitely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Oh, we'll see he does.- The word is schadenfreude, Jeremy.- Exactly.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So, John from the Dalesmen Singers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Please take your leave of us and go to the Question Room.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, John. Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I think I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Here we go. Good luck, John.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Approximately how tall is the England fast bowler, Stuart Broad?
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Well, 5ft 6 would be a little bit small for a fast bowler, I think.
0:06:47 > 0:06:496ft, you could be in with a shout
0:06:49 > 0:06:53because Darren Gough was round about 6ft, just over.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm going to go for 6ft 6, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And you're absolutely right. 6ft 6 it is.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00He's very tall.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Chris, which Grand Slam singles title did the tennis player
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Pete Sampras win on the most occasions?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Ooh.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16He's not won Wimbledon all that often.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And...Antipodeans tend to win the Australian
0:07:22 > 0:07:24so, it's got to be the French Open.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Ah. Who's our tennis correspondent? Judith, you know your tennis.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30How often has he won Wimbledon?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- About six.- He's won it seven times actually, Chris.- Really?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Yeah, Wimbledon is the answer.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It means nothing in my young life,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40it's the terminus of the district line is all Wimbledon means.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46So, you'd rather watch a tube train arriving than a centre court match?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well, I'd rather watch a sub-surface train arrive, yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50The district line isn't a tube,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52that's just journalistic lazy mindedness.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Oh, I do apologise. Never ever make Chris cross about trains.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58John.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Which baseball player was nicknamed the Yankee Clipper?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm out of my depth here, I think, Jeremy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Erm, Willie Mays and Ty Cobb I have never, ever heard of.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The only one I've heard of is Joe DiMaggio
0:08:15 > 0:08:19and I think I'll have to go with Joe DiMaggio.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Married to Marilyn Monroe, is that right?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Joe DiMaggio's absolutely right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK, Chris.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31If you get this wrong, Chris, you're gone!
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Gone on the tube. Oh, I'm sorry, the sub-surface train.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Laura Trott won two gold medals for Great Britain in which
0:08:40 > 0:08:43sport at the 2012 Olympics?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, we won a lot in cycling, didn't we?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I don't think she was one of them.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Er...didn't do much in swimming.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Was she a rower?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00No, back to gut instincts. Cycling.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Ah, what a shame.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07What a shame for our Challengers. Cycling it is.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11You might remember her, she had an amazing buzzy personality.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Absolutely amazing person...- Oh, her!- Yeah, blonde, short, lively.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17OK, John.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'm sorry he didn't crumple there, you swung the demolition ball
0:09:20 > 0:09:22so brilliantly.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Get this right and you're in the final round.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Which Scottish football team play home matches at Stark's Park?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I can't bring anything to mind here, Jeremy.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I think I'm just going to have to go down the middle.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Er...for Dunfermline Athletic.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Chris, do you know?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Well, something's saying Hamilton Academicals to me
0:09:53 > 0:09:54but, er, what do I know?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57No, both are wrong. Raith Rovers.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So, Chris has a chance to come back in. Third question.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01In the 1950s,
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Raymond Constrastin was one of France's top players in which sport?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Well, the French don't play Rugby League much,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14they tend to play Union.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Although there is a Rugby League...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20in France. Frenchmen don't like Snooker,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21they don't play Table Tennis.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Erm...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Yeah, we'll go with Rugby League.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34Oh, you swerved away from it and now back to it. You've got it right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Fantastic.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So, he's pulled off a bit of a comeback here, John.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's level after three questions, we go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Little bit harder as I don't give you alternative answers.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Uh-huh.- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48You're playing well.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Which British tennis player won
0:10:49 > 0:10:54the Girls' Singles title at Wimbledon in 2008?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I have a...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I have a choice of two. Either Laura Robson or Heather Watson.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'm not sure either of them are right
0:11:02 > 0:11:05but I'm going to go for Laura Robson.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I'm so glad you did, she's right. Well done.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Very good play. Laura Robson it is. Born in Melbourne actually
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but got a British passport in February 2008.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19OK, Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Who was appointed the interim manager of Chelsea football
0:11:22 > 0:11:25club in November 2012?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Ooh.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30That was after Mourinho went, wasn't it? Erm...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, what's his name?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Paolo Di Canio.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm speaking here as a Chelsea fan so let me just fill you in.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44It wasn't Mourinho, it was Di Matteo who was rather spectacularly fired.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Then Rafael Benitez. - Ah, Benitez. Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So Rafael Benitez came in, so you got it wrong,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52it was not Di Canio.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- No.- And that means, John, you've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Very well done.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59How's that? You've beaten an Egghead.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02The skipper stays in which is crucial.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Bit more building work to be done on the Eggheads
0:12:04 > 0:12:06and you may just take the whole contest.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13As it stands, the Dalesmen Singers have lost one brain from the
0:12:13 > 0:12:15final round but the Eggheads have now lost a brain,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17thanks to John here.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I'm thinking the Challenger's going to be strong on this.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Who's taking this one?- I think it's going to be Mark.- That's me.- Mark?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK, against which Egghead?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well, I've been wanting to say this all along, haven't I?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'd like to go against Daphne, please.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Oh, right. You know we've had this a lot recently, Daphne.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42A lot of people just...they want to try it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, Mark from the Dalesmen Singers versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Mark, this is a good subject for you, I'm thinking,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52because you used to lecture in it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I did used to lecture in literature for the last 20 years
0:12:56 > 0:12:57but I had a real specialism
0:12:57 > 0:13:01and my specialism was English renaissance literature.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03So, as some of my friends joke,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I know about 3 years in about the 1580s.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10So, who are the key renaissance figures then?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Well, Shakespeare's obviously the most well known of the writers
0:13:15 > 0:13:19of that period but other people like Jonson, Webster,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22a man called Lilly that I used to do a lot of work on.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So there's a whole range of them.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28And I know in mitigation it's very tough when you go in on your
0:13:28 > 0:13:31strongest subject because often it's so big, these categories that...
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Exactly.- ..if we're outside those 30 years I apologise in advance.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- 3.- 3 years! OK. Oh, gosh.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42OK, Arts & Books, Mark, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I'll go first, please.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Which of these words can mean a brief literary
0:13:49 > 0:13:51description of a person?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Well...
0:13:57 > 0:14:02A Ventricle is a medical term related to the heart.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Can't remember exactly what Vicissitude is.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Erm, but I'm going for Vignette.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Vignette is the right answer.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Daphne, which phrase, attributed to
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Gertrude Stein, describes the generation who came of age during
0:14:25 > 0:14:29or immediately following World War I and more specifically,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33a group of American writers of this era?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh, they were the Lost Generation.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Lost Generation is correct.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Mark, what was the UK title of the 1987 novel by Anne Fine that
0:14:50 > 0:14:55inspired the 1993 Robin Williams' film Mrs Doubtfire?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06They're not the choices I was expecting. Erm...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Anne Fine has an obsession with cross dressing characters,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13she had one called Bill's New Frock for children.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Erm, but I'm going to go for Madame Doubtfire.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Absolutely right. Madame Doubtfire it is.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25OK, Daphne.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Which poet was only 19 when his collection of poems entitled
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Hours of Idleness was published in 1807?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Lord Byron.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Lord Byron is correct. Well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I don't think that was a guess, I think you knew.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48OK, Mark.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Which artist acquired a run down studio in the Montparnasse area
0:15:53 > 0:15:58of Paris in 1926 and worked there until his death 40 years later?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Erm...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I don't know at all for sure with this one.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18Erm, but given the period, the '20s to the '60s...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I think Whistler's earlier.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Erm, I don't know Giacometti.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I'm going for Picasso.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32It's not him. Alberto Giacometti is the answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Picasso's death date, Ian?- I think he died in 73.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Yeah, he died in the '70s, Picasso. This fellow died in 66.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Giacometti it is.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK, we go to Daphne.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46What colour are the backgrounds of the
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion
0:16:49 > 0:16:55in Frances Bacon's famous 1944 triptych of the same name?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And if you get this right, you're in the final round, Daphne.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Well...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07A complete guess.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13I always think his paintings are pretty vibrant,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15so I will go for Orange.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I don't know.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- Let's see if the Eggheads know here. Barry?- Grey.- Yeah, Grey, I think.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- I think it's Violet.- Judith says Violet. Pat, you're very quiet.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'm unsure, I can think of various paintings
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and he uses all those colours.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Yes, that's true.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Yeah, but you must never disagree with Daphne when she's guessing,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39as she is always right. It is Orange, Daphne.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40You've taken the round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Mark, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out there by our Egghead,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47that's what she does. That's what Daphne does.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I hope you enjoyed the experience of being quizzed against her though.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Being Daphne'd. - Being Daphne'd. Exactly.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Please both of you rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So, as it stands the Dalesmen Singers have now lost two
0:18:00 > 0:18:04brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost just the one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Lots of time to come back though.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09The next subject for you is Geography.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Who's the traveller?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- It's going to be me. - OK, Mike, against which Egghead?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You can have...
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Barry or Pat...who are trying to look intelligent...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Yeah, it's going to be...- ..and succeeding actually.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It's going to be Barry.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27OK, so Mike from the Dalesmen Singers versus
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Barry from the Eggheads and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32please take your positions.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Right, I know you're familiar with
0:18:34 > 0:18:36the geography of Scotland, Mike, anyway,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39as you're what's known as a Munro bagger.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43That's right, yeah. I've been doing it for about...three years now.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46OK, before you say what it is, let me see if Barry knows.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Do you know, Barry?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Munro is a mountain above 3000ft. - Yeah, but what's a Munro bagger?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54A Munro bagger is a man who attempts to climb every Munro.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57That's right and do you know how many there are?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I don't know, 206?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Is he right, Mike?- Ooh, he's way out with that one, isn't he? Yeah.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Yeah, the answer is 283.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Ooh!- And how many have you done?
0:19:08 > 0:19:15I've done 180 so far so, probably another, just under 2 years to go.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK, this is the Geography round now, Mike,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19so, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think I'll go first.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Here we go and good luck.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Rio Grande do Sul is one of the states of which country?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well, it sounds a bit, erm...it sounds a bit South American to me
0:19:38 > 0:19:40so, erm...I'll go for Brazil.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Brazil is right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Barry, St Neots is the largest town in which county?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Erm, it's not Lancashire and I'm pretty certain it's not Dorset.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I believe St Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02And you are right as well. It is Cambridgeshire. Back to you, Mike.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07The M57 motorway was designed as a bypass for which city?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16The M57. Yeah, that's...that's north west, yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Yeah, it's the north west. I think it's Liverpool, isn't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Liverpool is correct.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Playing well, Mike, well done. Back to Barry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30The coastline of Equatorial Guinea lies on which body of water?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Equatorial Guinea is on the Atlantic Ocean.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40The Atlantic Ocean is quite right.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45OK, your question, Mike. Third question can be crucial.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Leuven is the capital of which Belgian province?
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Right.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Well, it's, erm...I know where it is. I've stayed there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Erm...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I think it's Flemish Brabant.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Flemish Brabant is correct.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13That's pretty handy to have stayed in Leuven.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I loved the way you slipped that in so casually.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So have I for that matter.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18You've stayed in Leuven as well?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Yes, there's a big annual quiz that takes part in Leuven
0:21:21 > 0:21:22every year that I go to.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Oh, blimey. Am I the only one that hasn't been to Leuven?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Looks like it!- It does look like it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29OK, Barry, your question.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You need this to stay in, Mike is playing very well.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38The Ivan Vazov National Theatre is situated in which European capital?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Well, I've been to Prague and I don't recall it in there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It doesn't sound Hungarian to me.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50But a lot of Bulgarian names end in O-V
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and Sofia is in Bulgaria so, I'll go for Sofia.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Sofia is the right answer. Very good.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02OK, so equal after three questions.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And we go to Sudden Death, Mike, it gets a bit harder.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05You're playing really well.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09The Jaffa Gate and the Dung Gate are features of which
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Middle Eastern city?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Erm...hmm.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Erm, this is a pure guess.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Erm...
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Egypt.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Jerusalem.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Jerusalem is the answer, I'm afraid.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Barry, over to you.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33The US state of Washington has a border with which Canadian province?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Washington is up in the extreme north west of the US.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And the Canadian province that is in the extreme north west is
0:22:40 > 0:22:42British Columbia.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44British Columbia is the right answer, Barry.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You've taken it on Sudden Death. Well done.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Mike, you played very well there indeed
0:22:48 > 0:22:51if I may say so, on Geography, but you've been beaten by our Egghead
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and you won't be in the final.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56If you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So, here we are and this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04It's time for our final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:23:07 > 0:23:08allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13So, Mark, Mike and John from the Dalesmen Singers and also
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:18 > 0:23:23So, John and Phil, you are playing to win the Dalesmen Singers £3,000.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Daphne, Barry, Pat and Judith,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:35 > 0:23:36and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So, John and Phil,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43the question is are your two brains able to beat the Eggheads' four?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And would you like to go first or second, gentlemen?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Phil and John, good luck. Here's your question.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58What is one said to spill when disclosing something confidential?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Ah, it's The Beans, isn't it?- We've got to go for Beans, haven't we?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- We've got to go for Beans. - We're not into Eggnog.- Beans.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Spill the beans is quite right. Well done guys, you got it right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15First one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Eggheads, the name Roxy,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21nickname of the American entrepreneur Samuel Rothafel
0:24:21 > 0:24:24became linked to what type of establishments
0:24:24 > 0:24:27following Rothafel's involvement in their development?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Roxy Cinemas.- Cinemas, surely?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37We're going for Cinemas.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Cinemas is the right answer.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Back to you, Dalesmen.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45What was the name of the Queen of the Jungle
0:24:45 > 0:24:48created by comic book artist Will Eisner?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Right, I'm not sure. - I don't think it's Martha.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56No, I would rule Martha out.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- So, it's going to be Leela or Sheena.- Yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Anything in your head? - I have a leaning towards Leela.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Why? I don't know.- You're right.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- We'll go for Leela, I can't decide between the two.- Right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Right, we'll go for Leela, did you say, John?- Yes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14We'll go for Leela.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Sheena is the answer.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Not Leela, you just leant a fraction the wrong way.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Just a fraction. OK, Eggheads,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26your second question to take the lead.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30What name is given to the period of 20th century Japanese history
0:25:30 > 0:25:33corresponding to the reign of Emperor Hirohito?
0:25:38 > 0:25:43- Showa.- Yeah.- Hirohito was Showa. - And Heisei followed it?- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And the Kamakura shogunate was in the 14th century.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I think it was Showa.- Definitely Showa.- And who succeeded him?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Akihito?- Akihito.- He was Heisei. - I'm sure Hirohito was Showa.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- They only give the names after the Emperor dies.- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- I'm sure it was Showa. - OK, we're going to go for Showa.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Showa is the right answer.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10So, they've got two, you do need to get this one right to stay in.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Take your time.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17The German concept of Torschlusspanik
0:26:17 > 0:26:21describes a sense of alarm at which of the following?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- What are you leaning towards?- Hmm. Diminishing Possibilities.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I would go along with you on that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Yeah, we both favour...- Well, we're not sure.- ..Diminishing Possibilities
0:26:38 > 0:26:41but we're not sure. It could be the final act.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Did you get the German word and sense of what that meant?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Torschlusspanik? - I didn't.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I think, only because I did German at school,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I think it means door shut panic.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54So, without knowing that, you've done very well
0:26:54 > 0:26:56because you've got the right answer.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Well done.- Not out!- Diminishing Possibilities. Yes, I'm sorry.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Great.- I'll be quicker next time.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Anyway, if you get this right, Eggheads, you are the champions.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13In 2011, John Cridland became Director-General of which body?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I think it might be...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- I think it's the Confederation of British Industry.- CBI.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25It certainly has a job called Director-General, I don't know
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- whether the other two have... - That's true. Good point.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31..positions called Director-General.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32I don't know.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34He's been in the news quite a lot and I can't...although,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I can't imagine the Institute of Directors having
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- someone in the news as much as the...- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41..Director-General of the CBI.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yeah, I think it's more likely to be the CBI.- Yes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- So, do we...- Yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48OK, so, we plan to go for CBI? We're not sure
0:27:48 > 0:27:52but we're going for the Confederation of British Industry.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57If you have this right, you've taken the contest as well as the round.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Confederation of British Industry is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We say congratulations. You have won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Well, Dalesmen Singers, it has been such a pleasure for us
0:28:10 > 0:28:12to meet you in your green jackets.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13- Thank you.- And see you play the game.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16So, thanks to you all at the back as well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Hope you enjoyed it. Lovely to see you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Commiserations to the Dalesmen,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Their winning streak continues, they still reign supreme.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £3,000
0:28:29 > 0:28:32so, the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see
0:28:35 > 0:28:39if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
