These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challenges | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the Ramblers. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Now, this team of friends all live in or near the villages | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
of Cottingham and Middleton near Corby, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and they take their team name from the club they all belong to, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Real Ale Men Behaving Lively And Energetically Require Sustenance, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:51 | |
or Ramblers for short. Let's meet them. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm Del, I'm 52 and I'm a retired police officer. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi, I'm Pete, I'm 55 and I'm a freelance copywriter. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 45 and I'm a milkman. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Hi, I'm Pete. I'm 52 and I'm a project manager. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 55 and I'm a systems project manager. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-So, Del, team, good afternoon. -Good afternoon. -Good afternoon. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Good to see you. I must explore this name first of all. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Real Ale Men Behaving...etc, etc. When do you behave like that? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
It's once a month. We have a social club in the village. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
The gentleman of the village, purely gentleman, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
get together at one of the member's houses, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
and we get in a couple of barrels of real ale | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
and a curry or something similar, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
and the rambling kind of takes part once the contents have gone. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
At what point in the evening normally are the police called? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-KEVIN LAUGHS LOUDLY It could be at any stage, to be honest! -Yeah. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
And what's it like to stare at these five very famous faces | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
-actually in real life here? -Very daunting. -Lovely! -Lovely, very nice. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
-Nice and friendly. Time will tell. -Time will tell. Very good. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
up for grabs for our Challengers. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
the prize-money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Ramblers, I can tell you the Eggheads have won | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
just the last game, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Would you like to try, Ramblers? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-Come on! -Let's go for it. -Here we go. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Who would like this? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
I think I'm going to have to take it. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-It's got to be you. -OK. -Come on, Pete. Come on! | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
I'll happily take Film & Television. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
OK, I'm sensing a lively show here. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-Pete from the Ramblers has to choose somebody. -Right. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
This is difficult. I think... I quite think I should take on Kevin. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
-Ah, right. -So you're sure? Kevin? -I'm pretty sure, yes. Thank you. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
Pete from the Ramblers versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-So, are you a big films man, Pete? -Yeah, I'm a big fan of films. Yep. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
Any in particular? Any genre? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Yeah, I'm a real sucker for science fiction films. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
No matter how bad they are, or how good they are, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
I'll watch any old science fiction tosh, basically. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Well, I hope something comes up along those lines for you, Pete. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Do you want to go with the first or second set of questions? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Um, I'll go with second, please. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
So, Kevin, your question. The phrase "No likey, no lighty" | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
is often heard on which TV show? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Well, it's not Countdown. Um, I've never... I -have -seen Family... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
Not for a long time, but I have seen Family Fortunes quite a few times. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
I can't associate that. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Given the premise of Take Me Out, I can see, if somebody's rejected... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:44 | |
Um... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
A light doesn't go on somewhere. I've never seen it, so... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
No, I'll say Take Me Out. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Take Me Out is right. Well done. Who's the presenter? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-Anyone know? -Paddy McGuinness. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Paddy McGuinness, right, yeah. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Pete, what is the title of the US TV show in which Adam Richman | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
attempts an eating challenge in each episode? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Well, I think probably, given the nature of the programme, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
any of those titles would be appropriate. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
But, although I haven't seen many of them, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
I've seen it while flicking through the channels. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
and I think it's Man v. Food. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
It is indeed Man v. Food. Yeah. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-Get in! -Come on, Pete! | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
OK, Kevin. Your question. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
In 2012, Polly Walker and Pippa Haywood took on the roles | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
of Francesca and Harriet in which TV drama series? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
I think Polly Walker is in Prisoners' Wives. Yeah, Prisoners' Wives. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
Prisoners' Wives is correct. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-He's never very easy to beat, Pete, I'm afraid. -No... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
But just keep going. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
Jacki Weaver, an Oscar-nominated actress for her roles | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
in Silver Linings Playbook and Animal Kingdom | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
was born in which country? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Er, this is a tough one. I haven't seen those films. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
So I'm going to have to take a guess. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
And I'm going to say, for no real reason, Australia. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-Hey, well done. You're right. -Yeah! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Come on, Pete! | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Right. On with you, Kevin. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Which actress has appeared in the films The Debt, Lawless and Mama? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-What was the third one you said? I didn't quite catch that. -Mama. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
So, the films are The Debt, Lawless, and Mama, M-A-M-A. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Yes, I've seen the first two, anyway. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
It's Jessica Chastain. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Jessica Chastain is correct. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
OK. Pete, you need this one. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Who wrote the 2013 malaria-themed TV film Mary And Martha? | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
Ooh, that's a difficult one. I haven't heard of that film. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
I'm familiar with each of those names though. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
I know Richard Curtis has done things | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
like Four Weddings And A Funeral. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
Julian Fellowes is obviously the Downtown Abbey chap. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Jane Goldman, who is Jonathan Ross's wife, I believe, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
I think she's probably the most likely candidate out of those three. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
She has a track record with some fantastic films, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
like Stardust and Kick-Ass. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
So I'm going to go Jane Goldman. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-Yeah, it's actually not, though. -Oh! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
It's Richard Curtis. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
I think it was part of Comic Relief, wasn't it? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Yes, it was excellent. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
So, sorry, Pete, you've been knocked out by Kevin. That can happen. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Very hard to topple Kevin, we know that. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Kevin will be in the final, and you won't be. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Please come back, rejoin your teams. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
So, as it stands, the Ramblers have lost one brain from the final round | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
whilst the Eggheads have not lost a brain. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
The next subject is History. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Go on, Kev. It's got to be you, mate. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
It's got to be you, Kevin. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-Yes. It is. Unfortunately. -History extraordinaire. -Come on! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
Not looking like setting me up. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
You can't choose this Kevin here, but you can choose any other. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-Um... -What about Dave? -Yeah. I think Dave. -Dave, yeah. -No, Judith. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-No, Judith. -Dave, please. -OK? -Yeah. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
Kevin from the Ramblers versus Dave from the Eggheads on History, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
and please go to the Question Room now. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Dave, you've done a lot of History recently? I'm trying to remember. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
A couple of ones there. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
I lost one the other day, with a bad mistake on Karl Marx. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
But I've done about four or five in the last few weeks. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
-How are you on history, Kevin? -I'm reasonable. I just hope... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
I'm better with the ancient history and the medieval rather than modern, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
so I hope the questions fall that way. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Kevin, would you like to go first or second? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Which of these kings ruled Great Britain | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
for the longest period of time? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Oh, right. OK. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Kings and queens. Or kings. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Edward VIII abdicated after a few months. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
Mrs Simpson. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
Um... William IV, I think preceded Victoria. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:33 | |
George V, I think, is the answer to this one. George V. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:40 | |
-What do you think, team? -I think he may be right. -Not a clue. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
He sounds good with his knowledge there. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
You're right on Edward VIII, less than a year. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
And you're right on William IV, who was just under seven years. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-So, George III is the right answer. Well done. -Come on! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
OK, Dave. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Where was the British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
assassinated in 1812? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
I don't think it's Westminster Abbey. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
I don't think it's the Tower Of London. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
I think he was assassinated... | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
I believe it's John Buckingham that did it, in the House of Commons. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
House of Commons is correct. Do you know how he did it? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-Shot. -Yeah, Kevin says shot. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
Famously as he fell to the ground he said "I am dying", | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
and that's said to be the only moment a politician | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
has spoken the truth | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-in the last 200 years. -THEY CHUCKLE | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Your question, Kevin. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
In which part of Mayfair was Queen Elizabeth the second born in 1926? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
I honestly do not know this answer, so it's going to be a guess. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
I don't even recognise those names, so it's modern history as well! | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
It would be somewhere, I would assume, that is quite affluent. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:01 | |
Adams Row doesn't fit that bill. Um... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
Bruton Street, I have no idea where that is, | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
and Hayes Mews, I have no idea where that is. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I'm just going to take a total stab and go for Bruton Street, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
as it's most unlikely. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-Eggheads? -Yes. -Yes! Oh, come on! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Bruton Street. So what, was that a private house, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-or what? -Yes. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-It's between Berkeley Square and Bond Street, Bruton Street. -OK. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Dave. The 1863 Battle of Chickamauga was one of the bloodiest engagements | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
of which war? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
Right. The American War of Independence was 1775-83, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
1783, so I don't think it's that. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
I'm not quite sure on the dates of the Mexican American War, | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
but I believe that involved the Alamo. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
But 1861-1865 is the American Civil War, | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
so that has to be my answer. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
You've done it on the dates, well done. American Civil War it is. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
All right. So, two points each. Kevin. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
In which year did the New Zealand Maoris sign the Treaty of Waitangi | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
in which they recognised British sovereignty | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
in exchange for the promise to protect Maori land rights? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
OK, I don't think it's going to be 1640, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |
because that's much too early for the exploration of New Zealand. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
So that leaves the other two dates. 1740, 1840. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
When you asked the question the first time, the date of 1835 came to mind, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
so I'm going to have to go with that instinct, and I'll go 1840. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:56 | |
But I'm not entirely sure about that. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Interesting, 1835 just crept into your mind? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
When you said the question, it just popped up. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-You've got a good historical brain, cos you're right with 1840. -Oh! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-Full house. -Well done! | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
OK, Dave. Your question. Clinging on. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
John Grey, who mysteriously disappeared in 1872, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
was a long-standing captain of which ship? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
Hmm... | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
Not sure. All three ships, so... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
Er... No degree of certainty at all. Not heard this. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
I'm going to go for the SS Great Britain. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-SS Great Britain is the right answer. -Ahhh! | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
We go to Sudden Death. Kevin, it gets a bit harder. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
I don't give you alternatives. Here's your first question. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
In which English city is the King's Manor, which was the headquarters | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
of the Council of the North during the 16th and 17th centuries? | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
I'm...um... I'm a total... They've used York. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
I know they used York as a place to hold the councils. Um... | 0:13:05 | 0:13:12 | |
But I don't know where the King's Manor is. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
For some reason, Ripon is coming to mind now. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
I'll stick with York. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
And I'll kick myself if it's Ripon. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-York is correct. -Oh! | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Dave, in medieval times, Farnham Castle and Wolvesey Palace | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
were traditional residencies for the person | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
who held which religious position? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-If you get this wrong, you're out. -Yeah. Um... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
All that can come to mind is Archbishop of Canterbury, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
so that's going to be my answer. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-I think Kevin will know this one. -Well, yeah, I should do. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
It's the Bishop of Winchester. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:55 | |
-Wolvesey Palace is actually in Winchester. -Yeah. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-Bishop of Winchester is the answer. -OK. -Yeah! -So, well done, Kevin. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
-Well done! -Really good. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
You see, sheer support and brilliant historical knowledge, Kevin, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
has taken you into the final. Well done. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
Please both of you return to us. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-So, well done, Del. -Brilliant, yeah. -Kevin, that was incredible. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
-Lots of guessing there. -No, he's a quizzer, isn't he? Yeah. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:26 | |
They know when they see their own. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
As it stands, the Ramblers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
The Eggheads have lost a brain as well now. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
The next subject for you is Arts & Books. Who would like this? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-Shall I be the sacrificial lamb? -Yeah. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
-Rob. -Who would you suggest? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
It will be a plain sail for whoever we pick, I can guarantee it. Daphne? | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-Daphne, I'd have thought. I'll do Daphne. -Many, many say that. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
-Many have gone that way and not returned. -Mmm. -You get a reputation! | 0:14:55 | 0:15:01 | |
Rob from the Ramblers, Daphne from the Eggheads, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
please take your positions. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
OK, so it is Arts & Books. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:09 | |
Rob, would you like to go first or second? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Well, I must fess up that my art and literature is very, very poor. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
I am the sacrificial lamb for the team. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
So I might as well get it over and done with, so I'll go first, Jeremy. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
OK. See if you can ramble your way through to the final. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
Which of these literary figures was born first? | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Right. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
Ben Jonson reminds me of the athlete, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
I didn't even know there was a writer called Ben Jonson. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
So... I'm sure he is an author though. Um... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
Milton I have heard of, Chaucer I have heard of. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Out of those two, I'm going to go with Chaucer. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-Geoffrey Chaucer is the right answer. -Get in! | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
OK. Over to you, Daphne. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
Which Shakespearean character initially appears | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
with the name Caius Marcius? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Coriolanus. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
Coriolanus is the right answer. Well done. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
OK, Rob. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
The 2006 Booker Prize short-listed novel The Nightwatch by Sarah Waters | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
is set during and shortly after which conflict? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
Right. Nightwatch. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
I've never heard of the book, I've never heard of the author. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Night guards to cover potential attacks is the only relevant thing | 0:16:56 | 0:17:02 | |
I can put to that. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
Right, based on VAT, which is very lame information, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
I'm going to go with Vietnam war. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-See if Daphne knows this one. -No, it's World War II. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-World War II it is, Rob. -OK. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
So, Daphne has a chance to take the lead. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
Richard Parker is a major character in which of these books? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Oh. Richard Parker? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-Richard Parker. -Yeah. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
I think he's the tiger in Life Of Pi. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
Life Of Pi is the right answer. Well done. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
So, she's taken the lead, Rob. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
What was the first name of the artist best known as Caravaggio? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
Um, I've never heard of Caravaggio. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
If it was Michelangelo Caravaggio that would be one hell of a big name, | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
that would. Um... | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Yeah, I like the sound of Leonardo. Let's go with that one. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
Funny enough, it is almost the least likely one here, actually. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-It is Michelangelo. -Oh! | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
I don't know how they squeezed this into the phone book. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-His name was Michelangelo Caravaggio. -Fair enough. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
Two wrong out of three, that means Daphne is in the final. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-Rob, we'll miss you in that final round. -No problem. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
I was the sacrificial lamb, so I was expecting it. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
You've got to take one for the team sometimes. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-You can cheer them from the backbenches. I -will do. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Both of you, come back, rejoin your team-mates. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
So, as it stands, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
the Ramblers have lost two brains from the final round, lost Rob. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
You're going to have to cheer from the backbenches. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain. The next object is Sport. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-Who wants this? It's good, isn't it? -Oh, no. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
That's worked out wrong. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-It's gone in the wrong sequence, hasn't it? -I know nothing... | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Pete or Del? | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-Pete, I know nothing about sport. -I'll take it. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Are you going to take one for the team? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-I can't claim to be an expert, but I'll give it a shot. -OK. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-I think Judith has got to be a natural... -Judith. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
OK, so Pete from the Ramblers versus Judith from the Eggheads | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
on her beloved sporting category. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
On Sport, Pete, would you like to go first or second? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
I'll go second, please, Jeremy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
OK, Judith, here we go. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
Which tennis player won his fourth Australian Open men's singles title | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
in 2013? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
That would be Novak Djokovic. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
Well done. Yes indeed. Novak Djokovic. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
I want to hear it from Rob. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-Well done, Judith! -Thank you! | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-Good result. -Yep. You're getting cheered by the Challengers. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
OK, your first question, Pete. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
The athlete Mo Farah won gold medals in which events | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
in the 2012 Olympic games? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Right. Well, obviously fairly recent, so I should know this. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
But I'm having to clutch at straws a little bit. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
The first answer that looked most likely was the 5,000 and 10,000. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:22 | |
I'm pretty sure he didn't do the steeplechase, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
but I might be proving myself wrong here. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
But I'm going to go with my initial thought, 5,000 and 10,000m. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
Bang on, well done. 5,000 and 10,000. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Judith, which of these footballers earned the most caps for England? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Er... I don't know. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
Dreaded football. Um, Gary Lineker. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
Anyone know on this side? | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
-Bobby Moore? -Yeah, Bobby Moore, I'd have said. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
-Bobby Moore is the right answer. -Oh! -Bobby Moore. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Go on, Pete. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
OK, Pete to take the lead here. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Swinley Bottom is a feature of which leading racecourse? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Hmm. Struggling again a little bit here. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
Horse racing is not something I've followed very closely. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Ascot and Epsom are both sort of southerly, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
whereas Newmarket is more sort of East Anglian-based. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
For some reason, that's pulling my attention. I'm going to go Newmarket. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
Newmarket is the wrong answer, actually. It's Ascot. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
I can see the logic, actually, but it's wrong. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
Judith. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Still in contention here. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
In which year did David Campese last play test match Rugby Union | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
for Australia? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
Um... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
It's either going to be 1989 or 1996, I suppose. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
1996. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
You're right, Judith. '96. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
You've got two out of three, that's not bad, is it? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-It's better than nothing. -To quote Meatloaf. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Now, a bit of pressure on you here, Pete. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
The Chinese sportsmen Sun Yang found fame in which sport? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
Hmmm. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Working on scant information, once again, unfortunately. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Swimming, I'm thinking not. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Weightlifting doesn't seem to suit the Chinese physique | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
in a typical sense. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
So I'm going to plump for gymnastics. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
-Anyone on your team know? -I'd have gone swimming. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
I thought it was the very young swimmer that was in the Olympics. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
-Is that right? -Rob, you're right. Swimming is the answer. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
So one out of three, Pete. Not enough. You've been knocked out. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Come back to us. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
We will play the final round. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
So, this is what we have been playing towards. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
It is time for the final round, which, as always, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
is General Knowledge. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
So, Pete B, Rob, and Pete S from the Ramblers, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
and Dave from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio? | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
-OK, Del and Kevin, here we are. You're ready to roll? -Yep. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
You're playing to win the Ramblers £2,000. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Pat, Kevin, Judith and Daphne, you are playing for something | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
this time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
So, Del and Kevin, the question is, | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
are your two brains able to overcome the Eggheads' four? | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
-Tell me if you want to go first or second. -We'll go first, please. -Yep. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
The man who became Pope Francis in March 2013 was born | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
in which country? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
-It's Argentina, isn't it? -Yeah. Well, he comes from Argentina... | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
It is Argentina, isn't it? First one from there, Argentina. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
Argentina is the right answer, well done. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Eggheads, your question. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
What became London's tallest building | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
when it topped out at 1,016 feet in 2012? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
-The Shard. -It's the Shard. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
-The Shard is the latest one. -Yes. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
-And it's the tallest building in Europe. -We're going for the Shard. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
Built above London Bridge railway station. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
The Shard is the right answer. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
-I've been up the top of it, actually. -Have you? -Yeah. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Here's your question. What type of animal is the jaguarundi? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
The name certainly suggests the cat family, but maybe a bit too... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
-Too obvious? -I think it may be too obvious. -Jaguarundi. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
-Jaguarundi. -You've got a jaguar, so why would you do a jaguarundi? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
-It might be... Just one word. -Unless there's a dog that brings down... | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
-Nothing can catch a jaguar. -Something's just told me it's a dog. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
Dog, please. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
No, you should have stuck with your logic. Which leads you to cats. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
Cat is the answer. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
Eggheads, in January 2013 the queen of which country | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
announced that she would abdicate later in the year on a date | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
that would mark 33 years on the throne? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
-Netherlands. -Beatrix of the Netherlands. -Yes. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
That's the Queen of the Netherlands. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
It is indeed the queen of the Netherlands. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
So the Eggheads are ahead. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
So, you've got to get this... Yes, exactly. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
-We've got to get this one. -They're very tense behind you, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
I can tell you that. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
Just The Way You Are, Grenade, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
and The Lazy Song are UK number-one singles by whom? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
Oh, dear. We do all like our music collectively. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
-Unfortunately pop sort of gets left. -Yeah. Modern music isn't our bag. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
-Grenade... -I really don't know songs by...by Will.i.am... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:48 | |
-And it's not either of those, or any of those. -Oh, dear, oh, dear. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
I'm tempted by Bruno Mars... | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
It's the Grenade one that gets me. That wasn't in there. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
Isn't he a bit too squeaky-clean for a song like Grenade? | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-Yeah, that's what I was thinking. -Olly Murs? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Olly Murs is, yeah, I was thinking. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Shall we go to... I don't know. I'm tending towards Will.i.am. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
It's total guesswork, as you can see. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
We do think that Olly Murs has got a little bit too clean-cut | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
a persona to have a song called Grenade. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
That might be totally wrong, but... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
-We'll go for Will.i.am. -Please. -OK... | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
You started on Bruno Mars, and then, a bit like the jaguar one, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:42 | |
you zoomed in the right one, and then you had doubts. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
-The answer is... Eggheads, do you know the answer? -Bruno Mars. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
The answer is Bruno Mars, so we say congratulations, Eggheads. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
You have won. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
So, commiserations to our Real Ale Men Behaving Lively...Livelily? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
Good luck, I hope the next party is a very lively one. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
I'm sure it will be. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:11 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
still reigning supreme over quiz land. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
It does mean you won't be going home with the £2,000, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
Eggheads, well done, and I'm starting to wonder again, | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
who will beat you? | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
Join us next time to see | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 |
