0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13arguably the most formidable quiz team
0:00:13 > 0:00:14in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 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 challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Nott So Smart, from Nottinghamshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Now, this team of friends and family share a passion for walking,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and they also attend a fundraising quiz twice a year at their
0:00:46 > 0:00:47local village hall together.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm John, I'm 70, and I'm an author.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 45, and I'm a pensions consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Craig, I'm 43, and I'm a project manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 64, and I'm a retired IT project manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Steve, 46, and I'm an IT business analyst.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- John and team, welcome. - ALL:- Thank you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Great to see you. I should say that Nott So Smart ha...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- There's two "T"s in "Nott", so...- ALL:- Yes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17- That's right, yes.- Yeah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19So, you've got the confidence to take on and take down
0:01:19 > 0:01:21the Eggheads here, I hope.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23THEY LAUGH Well, the idea is that we're so smart
0:01:23 > 0:01:26but more than likely, not so smart.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29So tell me about the walk that you do, first of all.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Well, we started, I think, Jeremy, in about 1990,
0:01:33 > 0:01:38and we do roughly a 100-mile long-distance trail each year.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And we choose one, you know, to go for
0:01:41 > 0:01:43depending on how difficult or easy the previous year has been.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Does it end where it began or do you just go in a straight line
0:01:46 > 0:01:47and get picked up?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51No, usually...usually, we have to work all the logistics out
0:01:51 > 0:01:52which can be very tricky.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54I suppose it's a good chance
0:01:54 > 0:01:56of getting away from work and stress, and...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- It is the best.- It is the best. - It is the best.- Yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Tell us about the quiz.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, it's a quiz that's put together by the local village hall,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and it's a mixture really of words and pictorials,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12and it's fairly...fairly lightweight.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14We take it... We don't take it too seriously,
0:02:14 > 0:02:15we don't even compete for a prize
0:02:15 > 0:02:20but just really on a...I guess of trying to get to be the top team.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Here, as you know, it is rather different. There is a prize.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25In fact, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:25 > 0:02:27for our challengers.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32So, Nott So Smart,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35the Eggheads came a cropper in the last game.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And that means...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40A - it can be done,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43B - that £1,000 is on the table now
0:02:43 > 0:02:45to say you can't beat them.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Who would like this?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- THEY CONFER:- Who are we going for?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Well, who are we going to do for Music?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Steve?- I'm not so good at music. - Chris doesn't want it?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Chris, what about you?- Chris...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Do you want me to take it? - Yeah, go on.- OK.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03- Chris? OK.- Yeah, I'll take it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Chris, which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- (..Go for Dave.)- Dave?- Yeah.- OK.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Dave.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Right. So, Chris from Nott So Smart
0:03:12 > 0:03:14versus the very smart,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16in fact the Tremendous Knowledge Dave
0:03:16 > 0:03:18on the end there. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Chris, what kind of music do you hope comes up
0:03:25 > 0:03:27in this very wide-ranging round?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, I'm hoping for sort of...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I guess my era was rock music, um...
0:03:32 > 0:03:35'80s. '80s and '90s, I guess, probably.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So, I'm hoping we're not too modern and not too old, I guess.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Indeed. So, Chris, you can choose,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42the first or second set of questions?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I'll go for the first set, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Here we go.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52In which year did Boyzone have their first UK number one single
0:03:52 > 0:03:53with the song Words?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well, I like this song actually, um...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And I'm trying to think. I Was... I'm pretty sure I was...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I'd left university, I think, when this came out. Um...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'm going to go...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I think I'm drawn towards 2004.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18First UK number one single - no, not 2004.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It was actually quite a bit earlier - 1996,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23for Boyzone.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Dave, your question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Which vocalist started a long career as lead singer with Judas Priest
0:04:28 > 0:04:30when he joined them in 1973?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Well, Marc Bolan's T. Rex, Les Gray's Mud.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Rob Halford is Judas Priest.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Rob Halford is correct.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Chris, second question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Which band's second album, released in 1999
0:04:49 > 0:04:52has the title Agaetis Byrjun,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55which roughly translates as "a good beginning"?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Right, um, well,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I don't think it's Runrig.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I've got one of the Runrig albums, I don't think...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I don't think it's Runrig. Um...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I think I'm going to go for Clannad.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15That's wrong.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The answer is Sigur Ros.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19But what's the... What's the coun...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- They're Danes, are they? - Icelandic, I think.- Icelandic.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Icelandic, Icelandic. - Ah, that was...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So, Sigur Ros is the right answer.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28So, Dave, if you get this one right you're in the final round.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Erich Korngold is widely regarded
0:05:30 > 0:05:33as one of the greatest exponents of which field of music?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Hm.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I don't know.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Um...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Chamber music and stage musicals aren't jumping out at me,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47but film scores...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, I will go for film scores,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54just because the other two aren't really jumping at me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56But no real conviction.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Film scores is correct, Dave. Well done. So...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Sorry, Chris, knocked out there,
0:06:01 > 0:06:02which means Dave is in the final,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and you won't be able to help your team in the final.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07But don't worry, plenty of game to come.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Please rejoin your teams.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12As it stands, Nott So Smart have lost the one brain.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14The Eggheads are still intact.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And I can tell you the next subject is Science.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18So, who would like Science here?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Steven.- Steven.- Steven, yeah. - I think Steven.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Do you think you're happy with that? - Is this a stitch up?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25No, no, no.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- What do you think?- I can take it, if you like.- Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29- What do you prefer?- Yeah, you answer.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I don't mind, I don't mind. If you want me to go, I'll go.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- I think we'll stay with him. - OK, you go then.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So, Phil, can you choose an Egghead?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Not Pat.- No, not Pat. - Judith?- Judith.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I'll go with Judith.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Okey-dokey.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Phil from Nott So Smart against Judith on Science.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- On Science, yes.- To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK, well, good luck in this round. It is science.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Phil, are you going first or second?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I will go first, please.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02And here we go.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04For what does the letter 'R' stand in the medical condition
0:07:04 > 0:07:06commonly known as RSI?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I think that's a fairly straightforward one for me.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'll go straight down the middle, and that's repetitive.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Yes indeed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Can you spell out the whole thing?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Repetitive strain injury? - Yeah, that's right.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Repetitive is right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Judith, in the periodic table of chemical elements,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28what term is used for a column of elements?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31THEY LAUGH
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh, the malicious gang.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35The whole lot of them.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36It's a group.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38DAVE LAUGHS
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Group is right.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Phil,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42in the late 19th century,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46the Hungarian-born inventor David Gestetner
0:07:46 > 0:07:48patented a machine for doing what?
0:07:53 > 0:07:58I seem to think that one of the first photocopying machines
0:07:58 > 0:08:01had the name Geste...Gestetner...
0:08:01 > 0:08:02on it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06That may have been a very old machine but, yes,
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I'll go with document duplication.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Document duplication is right, Phil.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well done.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And I guess it's um...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I'm thinking it must predate the photocopier
0:08:18 > 0:08:19in the sense it wasn't...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22flashing a light on a page and photographing it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Was it a sort of hand-cranked thing, the Gestetner machine, anybody?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yes, think so. I mean, as far as I can remember.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Anyone seen one? Anyone touched one?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Yeah.- Oh, yes.- You've done... Yes?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34And John, what did it do?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yes, it did just that. It...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You literally turned a handle, and out came the copies
0:08:39 > 0:08:42of the master that you'd laid on the top in the first place.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- But not a photograph presumably, some other way?- No.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- It was silkscreen, I think... - Silkscreen?- ..process. Mm-hm.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- How interesting.- Mm.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Judith, which bird found in Britain is the
0:08:51 > 0:08:53largest member of the crow family?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57I can never remember what a ruff is.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00But a razorbill, I think lives in Africa.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Um...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I... ravens are very big.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I think it's a raven.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Raven is right.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Two each.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I know it'd be better if you'd sort of managed to shrug her off by now,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Phil, but she's a good player.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'll give it a go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Give it a go with this third question here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20What type of creature is the onager,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22native to Southwestern Asia.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Onager, Phil, is just spelt obviously O-N-A-G-E-R.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27That's right, that's right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I really haven't got the faintest idea on this one.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm going to go with the ass, Jeremy.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38The ass.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39THEY LAUGH
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Is he right, Eggs?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Yes.- Yeah, ass is the right answer.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Fantastic.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, well done, Phil. You got that right.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And Judith, you've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Sophia Jex-Blake, born in 1840, was an important pioneer
0:09:53 > 0:09:56of women's participation in which scientific field?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Well, the sort of most likely thing would be medicine, really.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I really don't think there would have been many women engineers
0:10:08 > 0:10:13in 1840, 50, 60 - whatever you said.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17On the other hand, she could have had a telescope in her back garden.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Um...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think I'm going to say medicine...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25as being the most likely.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Medicine is correct.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Well played.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Sorry, Phil, she is a very, very fine player of the quizzing game.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35She is. Troublesome.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Very troublesome.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So, we go to Sudden Death now, which means you have to give me
0:10:40 > 0:10:42the answer, and I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49The term "leveret" is used for the young of which animal?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm trying to think. I've got a few options in my mind.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I've got the hare...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yes, and going to go for the hare, Jeremy.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Leveret, the hare.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Latin for the hare is "lepus".
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And you're quite right, the hare it is.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Judith, to stay in.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09What is the chemical formula for calcium oxide?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I don't understand these things,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14having never done chemistry at school.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Um, but it must be Ca...
0:11:19 > 0:11:20..O...
0:11:20 > 0:11:222.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23SHE LAUGHS: Add in a "2" for fun.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- So, the... - THEY LAUGH
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I don't know.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So, your answer is CaO2?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32- Yes.- OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It w... Um, it's not right, Judith.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm not surprised.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37It was the "2" that's the problem.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- It's actually just...- Oh, no, it's not CaO, is it?!- It is just CaO.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Oh.- You added the "2" in... - Curse it.- I know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- So, well done, Phil. You've taken the round.- Good.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47And you will be in the final.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55OK, as it stands, Nott So Smart have lost a brain from the final round,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57whilst the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So, let's see what happens next. It's Geography.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Who would like this, John?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- THEY CONFER:- I really don't want this.- No.- You're not taking...
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Do you want Geography?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Phil? We've lost our geography. - Well, I'll take then.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Yeah, you take it.- For the team?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Do you want to? Do you want to?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- Ah...- I mean, if Phil... We'd be hopeless.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Are you strong in it or not?- Why don't you do it?- I'll take it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I'll take it.- You sure? - Yeah, I'll take it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21John against which Egghead?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Which Egghead?- Can't have Judith or Dave.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'll take Kevin.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Wow.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Brave.- Got to eliminate him, haven't we?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Yes.- Not that we will.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- THEY LAUGH - There is no way round.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35There is no way round Kevin.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36OK.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39John from Nott So Smart versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:12:39 > 0:12:40on Geography.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41And please go to the question room.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Good luck in this round, Geography.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Have you been anywhere recently, Kevin, of interest?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Um, not that recently as we speak.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54My latest foreign trips were both to Germany,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55to Munich, and to Berlin.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57But even that's going back a few months now.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK, so, John, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'll go second, Jeremy, please.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Kevin, your question.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Which part of England is often referred to as "1066 Country?"
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Well...
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I mean, assuming that the...there were a couple of invasions
0:13:21 > 0:13:23in 1066 of course, but um...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27assuming that this is referring to the Norman conquest...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29then that would be the South East because they landed in Sussex,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34and the Battle of Hastings was obviously fought in Sussex, so...
0:13:34 > 0:13:371066 Country would presumably be the tourist trail around
0:13:37 > 0:13:39the sites associated with that, so...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41South East.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Not far from where you live.- No, no.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44South East is correct.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47John, Abraham's Path,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50a walking on cultural tourism route
0:13:50 > 0:13:51is in which part of the world?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, I haven't heard of it
0:13:58 > 0:14:00which I clearly should have done as a walker.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I wouldn't say it's in Australia.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08So I'd have to go, but not knowing, for Middle East.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Middle East is the right answer.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Kevin, which city's international airport
0:14:16 > 0:14:18was once known as Aldergrove?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, it's... This is one I've been to,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26so there's no point beating about the bush.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I went to it when it was called Aldergrove, and I've been since.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30It's Belfast.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Belfast is the right answer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35So, it's changed names?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yes, it changed, only slight...to Belfast International...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Airport now.- Right. - Much more prosaic.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Prosaic, and a bit more...bit more global.- Yep.- Outward looking.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yes.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Over to you, John. The Republic of Palau,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51an island country in the Western Pacific,
0:14:51 > 0:14:52has which official currency?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Western Pacific... Um...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well, again, I don't know.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I don't think it's the US dollar.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I also don't think it's the Australian dollar, so again,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15by default really, I have to go down the middle
0:15:15 > 0:15:18and say The Netherlands.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The answer is the US dollar, John.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Oh, hm.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Kevin, we're over to you. Third question.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28If you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32The flag of Mauritania, that features a crescent and star,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34is made up of which two colours?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I should know flags instantly but I'm just having a
0:15:42 > 0:15:43little think about this one.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, it's pretty... It's green and yellow. It's um...
0:15:48 > 0:15:49The Islamic colour comes into it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I know green is the Islamic colour and...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Yellow star. It's... Yeah, green and yellow.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Green and yellow is the right answer, Kevin.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58So, three out of three.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Sorry, John.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01A Palau question...did for you again.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Such a strong competitor there, I'm afraid.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06And you won't be in the final round.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Both of you, come back, please. Rejoin your teams.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13So, as it stands, Nott So Smart have lost two brains
0:16:13 > 0:16:16from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The next subject is Politics.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20It's good?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What were you waiting for, Steve?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER - Whatever...- Let's do it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Do you know what, I'll do it. - What?- Yeah, I'll do it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Really?- I'll keep family pride intact.- OK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Craig is going to do it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Again which Egghead?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Try Pat.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36All right, we'll go Pat. We'll go Pat.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37- Please.- Pat.- OK.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40So, Craig from Nott So Smart versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So, please, if you can, go to our question room now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47So, Craig, before we start, I should say,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49the family dimension of the team is interesting
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- cos it's you, and your brother, and your father?- That's right, yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Three family members and two friends, that's a great combo.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Yeah, it is.- It's Politics that we're doing.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'd like to go second, actually, please.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Pat, your question, then.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07In the UK, DCMS stands for
0:17:07 > 0:17:10the Department for Culture, Media and what?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Um...
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I think it's...
0:17:20 > 0:17:21It's Sport.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25They're heavily involved in things like the Olympics. It's Sport.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Culture, Media and Sport is correct.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Socialism would be interesting.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I don't think they've got a department
0:17:32 > 0:17:33devoted exclusively to that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34JEREMY LAUGHS
0:17:34 > 0:17:36OK, Craig.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42In which country did Xi Jinping become president in March 2013?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Xi is... Let me just help you with the name.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49X-I.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And then Jinping - J-I-N-P-I-N-G.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Well, I don't know.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I don't think it's Peru.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I think it's...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I should know if it's China. Um...
0:18:06 > 0:18:07(Vietnam.)
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I'm going to go...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11China. Please.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Well done, you're right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13HE SIGHS
0:18:15 > 0:18:16China it is.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Pat,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20which broadcaster, who covered many general elections
0:18:20 > 0:18:24with the BBC and ITN before stepping down in 2005,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28became famous for his use of the swingometer?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I don't know much about Gordon Brewer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And I think Jeremy Paxman continued in office long past the date
0:18:39 > 0:18:42you mentioned, but the man...
0:18:42 > 0:18:43linked with the swingometer.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46At election after election, it was Peter Snow.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Peter Snow is the right answer.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50My hero.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Your predecessor.- My predecessor, yeah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Cos I do it now, that's true. And it's great fun.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's a wonderful thing.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59OK.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Craig.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Which former First Lady
0:19:01 > 0:19:04wrote the book Dear Socks, Dear Buddy,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07about children's letters to the pets at the White House?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13HE SIGHS
0:19:13 > 0:19:16God, that's a difficult question as well. Again, don't know.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Have to be a guess. Um...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Doesn't seem highbrow enough for Hillary Clinton.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So I'm going to go...
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Oh, I'll go Nancy "Regan".
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Please.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Nancy Reagan.- Reagan, sorry.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Yeah, I...I would have gone Barbara Bush here, but...
0:19:37 > 0:19:38we're both wrong.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Hillary Clinton it is.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Right, you're ahead, Pat.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44And because you went first,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48if you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52In 2012, the anniversary of which leader's birthday was renamed
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Day Of The Shining Star?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I think that's um...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Kim Jong-il of North Korea.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think it's in April, some time in April.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Kim Jong-il is in the news a lot, that's for sure.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Who is Chiang Kai-shek?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Chiang Kai-shek was in charge of the Nationalist Chinese
0:20:19 > 0:20:23who had the dispute with the communists and ended up in Taiwan.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- But that's going back a way, is it? - Oh, along time ago, yes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's not last week or anything.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30No. No, well, all those chaps have been dead some time.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Kim Jong-il is the right answer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Pat, so you've got it. So, you've got three out of three.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Sorry, Craig.- Well done.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39The pain of the single incorrect answer in a three-question round.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Yeah.- So, you have been knocked out.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Pat will be in the final round.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And if you both come back to us, we will play that final.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49This is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It is time for the final round which, as always,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53is General Knowledge.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:55 > 0:20:57won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01So, John, Chris and Craig from Nott So Smart
0:21:01 > 0:21:05and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Well, Phil and Steve, you are playing to win Nott So Smart £1,000.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something
0:21:13 > 0:21:17that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24You are allowed to confer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26So, Phil and Steve, the question is,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30are your two brains able to overcome the Eggheads' four
0:21:30 > 0:21:33over here? And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34First, please.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So, Steve and Phil, good luck. Here we go.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Gerald Grosvenor, who is often said to be
0:21:43 > 0:21:45one of the wealthiest landowners in Britain,
0:21:45 > 0:21:46is better known by what title?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I think it's Duke of Westminster. - I think so too.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56And that's just a gut feeling.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Um...
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- I think.- Yes, go for the Duke of Westminster.- Duke of Westminster.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Duke of Westminster is the correct answer.- Thank you.- Excellent.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Good start.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Eggheads, a famous series of World War II posters
0:22:08 > 0:22:12exhorted the British public to "Be like Dad, keep..."
0:22:12 > 0:22:13what?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Mum?- Mum.- Mum?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19It was a famous poster
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and it had that wonderful slogan
0:22:21 > 0:22:23"Be like Dad, keep Mum."
0:22:23 > 0:22:24The answer's Mum.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Keep Mum. Of course, yes. Well done.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30OK. Over to you, Nott So Smart.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34What was the name of the character played by Daniel Craig
0:22:34 > 0:22:38in the 1990s TV series Our Friends In The North?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Do you know that one?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I'd struggle to answer that one. Um...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- If it was in the North... - Yeah, I mean, it's got to...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Um...
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Shall we go for Geordie?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Um, well, just hang on a sec. So, um...
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I'm drawn...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03..to Tosker.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Um...
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I'm not sure. You've got a gut feeling?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It could be too obvious, that's what I'm thinking.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I have no idea. I mean, I'm going for Geordie
0:23:11 > 0:23:12because it's in the North.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Mm.- No, you know, if you've got a feeling for it - go.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm taking a punt, cos this man's very intelligent.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19So, I will go with Geordie.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I loved this series when it came out in the '90s.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29And Tosker is a character in it, so you couldn't have ruled that out.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Barrett probably is as well, actually.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32But Geordie is the right answer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36And it's very odd now watching. You know, that...
0:23:36 > 0:23:40The reason it's great is you see their lives played through
0:23:40 > 0:23:41current events and all that.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And then you see Daniel Craig becoming an old man, you know,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- and now...- Here he is.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Here he is 20 years later as Bond.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49OK, Eggheads,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52which of these explorers was once apprentice
0:23:52 > 0:23:54to a firm of coal shippers in Whitby?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00It's got to be James Cook.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- It's got to be Cook anyway.- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03- He's the logical one...- Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- It's not...- Mungo Park was Scottish.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- He was a doctor.- Ernest Shackleton was Irish, so...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Yes.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Well, Mungo Park was...
0:24:12 > 0:24:13..probably a little earlier.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He was busy in Africa,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and Shackleton was in the South Atlantic,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20South Georgia and Antarctica.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23But the man who's irrevocably linked with Whitby is James Cook.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24So that's our answer.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26James Cook is correct.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, two each.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Third question, which can be crucial.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Challengers,
0:24:35 > 0:24:41which horse won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1970 and 1971,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46and ended Red Rum's winning run in the Grand National in 1975?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- L'Escargot... Wasn't L'Escargot...? - That's what I was thinking it was.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Um...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I will go with Royal Frolic as a guess.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03That's your thought, is it? What's your reasoning?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- I think L'Escargot is a flat... - Flat racer.- ..racer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Grundy?- I've never heard of Grundy. - I've never heard of Grundy.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I've only heard of Royal Frolic, and it sounds as if...
0:25:13 > 0:25:14he could have done it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Last time I gambled at the Cheltenham Gold Cup
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I lost a fortune. So...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20But here we go. Royal Frolic.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Royal Frolic, OK. Based on...
0:25:22 > 0:25:24What was the...? Which is the sense?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Just... Yeah, we haven't done A for a while.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28THEY LAUGH
0:25:28 > 0:25:30No, I've no idea.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31- No idea.- OK. Do you know, Eggs?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- ALL:- L'Escargot.- L'Escargot!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Oh.- Again.- Drat.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Again with the...- Yeah, you've...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It was the... Cheltenham is obviously the problem.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- Yeah.- It is.- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Losing your shirt again.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Well, you haven't lost your shirt yet. OK.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Eggheads, your third question for the contest.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Which author wrote the novels Nostradamus Ate My Hamster,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Doesn't sound like Michael Moorcock. - No, it doesn't.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05But other than that, I have no idea.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Any thoughts?- No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09I...I don't recognise...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Robert Rankin is saying something
0:26:11 > 0:26:12to me, but I've no idea why.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Well, he's the only one...
0:26:14 > 0:26:15We don't think it's Michael Moorcock.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18No, it's definitely not Moorcock.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19One of those titles I think,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- is something I've seen somewhere. - Mm.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24And of the other two names,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28the only one that I sort of recognise is Robert Rankin.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29I've never come across
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Bruce Bethke at all.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- No.- No, I've not heard of him.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34That doesn't mean it's not him.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It doesn't mean it. No, absolutely. No, no, no.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- I don't know.- I...
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I... So, Bruce Bethke
0:26:41 > 0:26:42doesn't ring anything to me at all.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Well, we both have a thing. - We've both got an inkling.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Only on the basis it's a name I've seen,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49and I think I've seen the title of one of those.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The Nostradamus one, I think I've seen somewhere, but I...
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Have you got anything, Pat?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55- No, no.- No, I...I've got nothing.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Nothing strong to offer.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58So, the only two things we've got
0:26:58 > 0:26:59are you and Kevin.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Shall we go for it then?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Yeah, I think that's the best thing.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Not certain here at all.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Well, we're reasonably certain it wasn't Michael Moorcock
0:27:06 > 0:27:09who was renowned for writing first-rate science fiction novels.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12But as to the other two, we're really unsure.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But we're going to take a stab at Robert Rankin.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's interesting hearing that, cos Barry just
0:27:19 > 0:27:20went straight there,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23ruled out Moorcock and ruled in Rankin
0:27:23 > 0:27:24right at the very start.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And after the discussion, that's what you came to.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And it's absolutely the right answer, so, well done, Eggheads.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And Barry, especially, Robert Rankin is the correct answer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34And we say congratulations,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35you have won.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Commiserations. I mean, they are...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44They had a bad defeat in the last game
0:27:44 > 0:27:47and they've obviously rallied, which is irritating.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- It's a shame, isn't it? - It is a shame,
0:27:49 > 0:27:50but you see how well they're playing.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52And... Yeah, there was...
0:27:52 > 0:27:56That Rankin and Moorcock question was not an easy one.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58And I loved your 1066 moment, Kevin,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- when you said there were a number of invasions...- Well, there were.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04We should go through all of them, not just the obvious answer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08So even the simple questions, they Google around them.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Have you enjoyed playing?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- Absolutely.- Yes. It's been... - Absolutely brilliant.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Thanks very much indeed for keeping us company here in the studio
0:28:15 > 0:28:16and having a go at them.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Commiserations to Nott So Smart.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and they're starting to reign again over Quizland.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £1,000
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see
0:28:32 > 0:28:36if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Till then, goodbye.
