0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads - arguably,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15the most formidable quiz team in 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 > 0:00:28pit their wits against,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team of friends all quiz together
0:00:39 > 0:00:43at the Malt Cross Pub in Nottingham. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Tom. I'm 25 and I'm an assistant buying manager.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm James, I'm 25, and I'm an assistant store manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Claire, I'm 24, and I'm a brand assistant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Justin, I'm 28 and I'm a branch manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Henry, I'm 27 and I'm a real estate associate.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, Neither Big Nor Clever, Tom and team, welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Hello.- How you doing? - And you quiz together in a pub?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That's great, Tom.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Yeah, we all quiz on a Monday night at the Malt Cross in Nottingham
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and we figured, we don't do too badly at the quiz,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17why don't we try ourselves out against some
0:01:17 > 0:01:19more formidable opposition and see how we do?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23But the name suggests there's not a lot of confidence going into this.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- What's going on? - We change our name every week,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29so the name was...I tried to represent what we are as quickly as
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I could, off the top of my head in about 15 seconds,
0:01:32 > 0:01:33and I came up with,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36"We're not really that big and we're not really that clever."
0:01:36 > 0:01:39OK. Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs
0:01:39 > 0:01:42for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48So, team, Neither Big Nor Clever, the Eggheads have won the last
0:01:48 > 0:01:51three games, which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Are you ready to try? - We are ready to try.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Who wants this?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Shall I step up and take Geography...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Captain's innings!- ..with my honorary Geography degree?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- THEY LAUGH - Tom against which Egghead?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- What do you think?- I'd...I'd...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Shall we take on Barry?- Barry, Barry.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13OK, we'll take on Barry.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16OK, Tom from Neither Big Nor Clever versus Barry.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Please go to our question room now.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, Tom, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Uh, I'll go first.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Here is your first question.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The Imperial Palace which contains within its grounds
0:02:31 > 0:02:35the main imperial residence of the Emperor of Japan
0:02:35 > 0:02:38is located in the Chiyoda area of which city?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Well, I have...
0:02:45 > 0:02:49got absolutely no idea off the top of my head,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51so let's have a think about this.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Nagoya, I've never even heard of Nagoya. Osaka, I've heard of.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think Osaka's down to the south.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00The Imperial Palace, you'd imagine,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04is probably going to be in the capital, so I will go with Tokyo.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Is he right, Barry?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Yes, I've been there and it's absolutely in Tokyo.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Tokyo is correct, Tom. Well done.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11APPLAUSE
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Barry, what colour is the middle stripe on the French national flag?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Well, those are the three colours of the French national flag.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24And I believe the middle stripe is the one in the middle, white.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28The middle stripe is indeed the one in the middle. That's brilliant(!)
0:03:28 > 0:03:30White is the right answer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32BARRY LAUGHS
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Tom, which island on the south coast of England
0:03:35 > 0:03:39lies between Langstone Harbour and Chichester Harbour?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Um, being from the North,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49the south of England is not my area of expertise, um,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51so, again, this one is going to have to be based on
0:03:51 > 0:03:53a little bit of guesswork.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Canvey Island, I think, is to...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01the east of London, it's like north-east of London.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Hayling Island, I've never heard of, again.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Based on the fact that the question says the South Coast,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'm going to go with Lundy.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Lundy, OK.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- It's wrong, though. It's Hayling Island.- Ah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15OK, Barry, to take the lead, in which country in the
0:04:15 > 0:04:19British Isles is the Berwyn range, an area of moor-covered uplands?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I've never heard of this, so that's interesting.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Moor-covered upland?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Hmm.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35To me, that sounds like Northumberland,
0:04:35 > 0:04:36so I shall go for England.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- No, it's not England, it's Wales.- Ooh!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43OK, Tom, that's good.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Barry has tripped. Let's see if he stumbles and falls.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Which German Land or state is the largest by area?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Oh, dear! Um...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK, this is the third question, it's going to be the third guess,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03but we'll try and use a bit of logic.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Um, so, I don't really know where any of these places are.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Bavaria is, obviously, the most famous one. Um...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Ooh, but is it the biggest?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm going to go with Bavaria.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yes, you've got it right, well done.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- You're in the lead again. - APPLAUSE
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So, Barry, you need to get this one right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Oyala is a city in which African country?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Well, I know a few cities in Nigeria and Oyala isn't one of them,
0:05:34 > 0:05:35so I'm going to discount that.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I only know one city in Togo and it's not Oyala.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, I'm going to go for Equatorial Guinea.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Equatorial Guinea is the right answer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48HE LAUGHS
0:05:48 > 0:05:50So, you're equal after three questions.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Tom, we go to Sudden Death.- Yeah. - It gets a bit harder.- Mm-hm.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59What is the major river flowing through the city of Hereford?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Ooh, I've got...this is really annoying, because I did Geography
0:06:03 > 0:06:08at A-level, and I did a Geography field trip to that exact river.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'm trying to think back to my Geography A-level,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16but, unfortunately, that information seems to have disappeared.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18So, I'm going to take a guess, I'm going to go with the Severn.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21No, it's Hereford on Wye.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Wye is the river.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Barry, for the round, which
0:06:25 > 0:06:31island country lies in the Caribbean between Martinique and St Vincent?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Oh, gosh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I have been to the Caribbean on two occasions and...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I've absolutely loved it, but there's so many islands there.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Between Martinique and St Vincent...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Hmm.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- I think it might be St Lucia. - St Lucia is the right answer, Barry.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well done. You're in the final round.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Sorry, Tom, knocked out by our Egghead.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You fought well, though. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00So, as it stands, Neither Big Nor Clever
0:07:00 > 0:07:02have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The Eggheads have not lost one so far. The next subject is Music.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Who wants Music?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Music is an interesting one.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Who do we want to take this?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Justin sounds like he's quite keen on doing it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Justin, do you want to step up and take music?- Shall I?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Justin?- Yeah, I think I'll do that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24OK, the music man against which Egghead? Can't be Barry.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Hmm. Justin, do you want to take on Dave?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- I think I might take on Dave. - Yeah, we'll take Dave on Music.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34OK, and he's very keen on the music, you love, you love, Dave.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, the music I love, I love,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- but the music I hate, I really hate. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- And that usually comes up!- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43So, Justin from Neither Big Nor Clever versus
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Please go to the question room now.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I gather you play the guitar, Justin?- I do a little bit, yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And is that the acoustic or the electric, or...?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I can play both, yeah. I'm sure my friends would say not very well,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59but, you know, I like to think
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'm a bit of a Jimi Hendrix! THEY LAUGH
0:08:01 > 0:08:04All right, Music, Justin. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Eh, I'll go first, please.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Here we go, Justin, good luck.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14All American Prophet and Baptise Me are songs from which musical?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I don't know. I think I'll... I'll go with my first instinct
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and say Jesus Christ Superstar, but...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- You don't sound very certain.- No.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32The answer ended with a "but..."
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It was the clue.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- The Book Of Mormon is the right answer.- Ah!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question. In the Wheatus
0:08:41 > 0:08:452001 UK hit single Teenage Dirtbag,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48the dirtbag in question likes to listen to which band?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Don't know.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I know of the song.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It's more likely, because of the band's concern,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and the nature of the song, that Iron Maiden
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and Black Sabbath...are not going to be the right answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm going to go for Alice Cooper, which is a band.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Even though Alice Cooper is the name of Vincent Furnier, but...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18no conviction at all, but Alice Cooper, out of that
0:09:18 > 0:09:21particular song, I should have listened to the lyrics more.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- It's not Alice Cooper, it's Iron Maiden.- Right, OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So, two wrong answers so far. You're back in it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Justin, Groove Is In The Heart was a UK Number 2 single
0:09:30 > 0:09:31for which group in 1990?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I just remember the video to this from my youth.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's an easy one, Deee-Lite.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Deee-Lite is correct, with three Es.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well done, Justin. OK, Dave.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Whose first UK hit single was Ma, He's Making Eyes At Me, in 1974?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Well, it's not Linda Ronstadt, because the artist was Scottish.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Um, it's not Lulu. It's Lena Zavaroni.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Lena Zavaroni is the right answer.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So, over to you, Justin.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12The musician Merle Haggard is most associated with
0:10:12 > 0:10:14which country music genre?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21HE SCOFFS
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I have no idea at all!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Um, really not my bag.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30This is going to be purely a guess,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32because I've heard of Nashville Sound.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I've not heard of Bakersfield or Lubbock,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36so, I'll just go for Nashville Sound.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- OK...- I think it's Bakersfield.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Yeah, Bakersfield Sound is the answer.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Dave, your question for the round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The award-winning jazz musician Jason Rebello is particularly
0:10:47 > 0:10:48associated with which instrument?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right, well, he's award-winning. Um...
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I don't like double bass in terms of that with awards, piano...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07it could feasibly be, I've not heard of this man.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I need to brush up on my jazz. I'm going to go saxophone.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- No, it's piano.- All right, OK.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18So, equal after three questions, we go to Sudden Death again.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Justin, your question.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Which member of Pink Floyd had a UK number 1 album in 2006
0:11:23 > 0:11:25entitled On An Island?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27David Gilmour.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29David Gilmour's correct.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30APPLAUSE
0:11:30 > 0:11:32There's a good question for a guitarist.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35OK, Dave, in 1984, which singer
0:11:35 > 0:11:40best known as an operatic soprano, sang the role of Maria on an
0:11:40 > 0:11:44album recording of West Side Story conducted by Leonard Bernstein?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46In trouble here!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- If you get this wrong, you're out.- I know!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Now, should I go with...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Montserrat Caballe would be...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57..reasonable, but the part of Maria in that particular one, it would
0:11:57 > 0:12:01be a younger...I would have thought it would be a younger one.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08It could be Montserrat Caballe, it could be Jessye Norman.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10SHE MOUTHS
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I don't like the Montserrat Caballe answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm going to go Jessye Norman. I know I'm wrong.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19You will know this, Daphne.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Well, I thought it was Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Kiri Te Kanawa is the right answer.- All right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It was, so you've been knocked out. You're not in the final round.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Justin, well done.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30You've won through on music.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Congratulations, you'll be in the final round.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Dave, you've been knocked out. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40So, as it stands, Neither Big Nor Clever have lost a brain from
0:12:40 > 0:12:43the final round, but they have now taken out an Egghead brain,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44so, well done, Tom and the team.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46The next subject for you is Film & Television.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Who would like this?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Film & TV...- It is not me.- Who would fancy it?- Oh, God!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Claire, do you want to step up for Film & TV?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- OK.- Claire, OK. Would you like to choose an Egghead?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- It can't be Dave or Barry. - I was thinking Daphne or Chris.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Thoughts, team? Chris?- Chris. - Go for it.- Chris.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06We'll have Chris, please.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So, it's Claire from Neither Big Nor Clever versus
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Chris from the Eggheads. You've done this recently, Chris.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Indeed, I did, yes, quite successfully.- Oh! OK.- Oh, dear.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16He's larging it up now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23OK, so, good luck in this round, both of you and, Claire,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26you can say whether you want to go first or second.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Um, I'll carry on with what the team have been doing, and go first.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Good luck to you, Claire. Here we go.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37In The Muppet Show, what nationality was the chef who had
0:13:37 > 0:13:40bushy eyebrows and a large moustache?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Um, not entirely sure, so...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49that's a blow.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Uh, but if I had to guess, I'd guess
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Spanish.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Although I'm not sure why.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58OK, let's ask the boys here.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59ALL: Swedish.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Swedish chef.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK, Chris, your question.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Who's presented both The Hotel Inspector on Channel 5
0:14:06 > 0:14:07and The Fixer on BBC Two?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Uh, well, Jo Frost is Super Nanny.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Uh, Mary Portas is the sort of shopping supremo,
0:14:17 > 0:14:18so it's Alex Polizzi.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Alex Polizzi is quite right. Well done.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Back to you, Claire.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Who played super-spy Nick Fury
0:14:25 > 0:14:29in the films Iron Man 2 and Avengers Assemble?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38That I do know, and that's definitely Samuel L Jackson.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Brilliantly done, it really is. Samuel L Jackson.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well done, you have a point.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Chris, to take the lead.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Which television star co-founded the production company
0:14:47 > 0:14:50So Television in 2000?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Hmm.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Production company.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Uh, I don't think it would be Nick Knowles.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I don't think it would be Graham Norton, but, uh...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06the most entrepreneurial of those three is Jonathan Ross,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07so that's going to be my answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Jonathan Ross is your answer,
0:15:10 > 0:15:11but it is wrong!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Graham Norton is the answer.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15OK, your question.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Which Academy Award nominated actress is
0:15:18 > 0:15:20the mother of the American film star Laura Dern?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Um, I have absolutely no idea, so that's good.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Uh, but for a guess, I'll guess
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Louise Fletcher.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Eggheads, do you know?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39- ALL:- Diane Ladd.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Diane Ladd.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43So, Chris has a chance to take the round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47In which film does Richard Gere play a character called Jesse Lujack?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Well, The Cotton Club is sort of a '20s gangster thing, isn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I forget what his part was in that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Uh, "Shall We Dance?" I always thought was Fred Astaire
0:16:02 > 0:16:05and Ginger Rogers rather than Richard Gere.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Uh, is it an American remake of A Bout De Souffle?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10In which case, it'd be Breathless.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Breathless is the correct answer, Chris.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Well done, you've taken the round.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Sorry, Claire. Both of you, please rejoin your teams.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20So, as it stands,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Neither Big Nor Clever have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24The Eggheads have lost one, though,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and we have another round before the final, and it is History.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Who is the History person?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I think... Henry, do you want to step up and take History?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well, I'm not going to fight against the majority opinion!
0:16:38 > 0:16:39So, Henry at the end,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and which Egghead would you like to take on, Henry?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, which Egghead wants to take me on?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Um...- Shall we, um...?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Well, my dad said, "If you're going to do something,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51"you might as well do it right."
0:16:51 > 0:16:53So, I'm going to take on the big dog, and I'm going to say Kevin.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Oh, right, so, Henry from Neither Big Nor Clever versus
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Kevin from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK, History, Henry,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04and would you like to go first or second against Kevin?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I'm not going to break the somewhat winning habit we have,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08so I'll go first.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13OK, here we go. Good luck.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Henry, which of these events happened in 44 BC?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28OK, Pompeii was AD.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32A small amount, like 79 AD, I think. Hadrian's Wall was...
0:17:35 > 0:17:40..AD as well and, so, I guess it's Julius Caesar and his death.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Julius Caesar is correct!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45APPLAUSE
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Kevin, the Scottish Enlightenment,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50which was marked by a rapid development in scientific
0:17:50 > 0:17:54and intellectual achievements, took place during which century?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00During that time, Edinburgh became one of the sort of
0:18:00 > 0:18:02intellectual capitals of Europe,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and it was the 18th.
0:18:05 > 0:18:0718th is quite right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Henry, during World War II,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Operation Steinbock was a German bombing campaign of which country?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'm almost certain it wasn't England.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Uh, France...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22they never really undertook a bombing campaign,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25they just blitzkrieged their way through.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26HE SIGHS
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So, with fingers crossed, I'm going to say Russia.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Well, interestingly, it's not Russia, it's England.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Kevin, over to you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The military corps known as the Yeomen of the Guard
0:18:37 > 0:18:40was established during the reign of which monarch?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47The Yeomen of the Guard...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I don't think it's as late as William III.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56And, of course, Henry VII succeeded Richard III.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm thinking this is Henry VII, so Henry VII.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Henry VII is the right answer.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06So, Kevin goes into the lead, and you've got
0:19:06 > 0:19:08to get this one right, Henry, OK?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14In which decade was the Witchcraft Act of 1735 effectively
0:19:14 > 0:19:15repealed in Britain?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25OK, Jeremy, well, I've got to tell you I'm not
0:19:25 > 0:19:28intimately acquainted with that particular piece of legislation.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30THEY LAUGH Uh...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So, I'm going to say the '50s is the wishy-washy answer,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36so we're going to discount that, and it's either going to be
0:19:36 > 0:19:38the sensible '20s or the '80s,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42having taken a while to get their act together.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43I'm going to say the 1980s.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I follow your logic completely.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Unfortunately, it was the wishy-washy answer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:511950s.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, bad luck, Henry.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'm afraid Kevin has taken you on the bend, there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58And he will be in the final round,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and you won't, and if you both come back to us
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and rejoin your teams, we will play the final round.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's time for the final round, which, as always, is...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I'm afraid those of you who
0:20:13 > 0:20:15lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part in this
0:20:15 > 0:20:19round, so Tom, Claire and Henry from Neither Big Nor Clever, and
0:20:19 > 0:20:22also Dave from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26OK, James and Justin,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29you're playing to win Neither Big Nor Clever £4,000.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Kevin, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:34 > 0:20:35the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43you are allowed to confer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, James and Justin, the question is,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50are you with your two brains able to put the boots into these four?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- We're not sure!- Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Uh, I think we won't break the habit of a lifetime
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and so I think we'll go first.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Here we go with your first question. The influential car designer
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Louis Chevrolet was born in which country in 1878?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Do you know this?- I don't, but we can try and work it out...
0:21:15 > 0:21:20with his name, so Louis Chevrolet sounds almost kind of French to me.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21French?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- I'd probably say Switzerland. - Would you?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I was going to go for Austria!
0:21:27 > 0:21:28- Um...- It should just be you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- I don't know.- I wouldn't say it's Italy, there's too much coming out
0:21:33 > 0:21:35of Italy, isn't there? Or, came out of Italy.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm going with the guess with the names, I'm going
0:21:37 > 0:21:38to guess Switzerland.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Cool, I'm happy with that. - Right.- Cool.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'm going to go for Switzerland.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46OK, I listened carefully there.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49There was logic going on, for sure, and Switzerland on the basis
0:21:49 > 0:21:52that there's a bit more French there than there is in Austria?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Is that right?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- You weren't picking up on that, Justin.- No, no.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You just wanted to go with the most German one.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Did you?- Yeah. - You nearly took him off track.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04The answer is Switzerland.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Oh!- Fantastic.- Well done. Very, very nearly...
0:22:07 > 0:22:08made a painful error.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13OK, Eggheads, the disease known as the Schmallenberg virus,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17which affects livestock, is named after a town in which country
0:22:17 > 0:22:18where it was first identified?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Hmm.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Oh, dear.- Hmm.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28That's a good question, isn't it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I've got a feeling at the back of my mind it was Luxembourg, but...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Oh, no, I don't think so.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- I think it was Germany. - It's not a Belgian name at all.- No.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Given that it's the first question, I think Germany is...- Yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, I've learnt at my cost to ignore you, Daphne.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Well!- So, I'm going to subscribe to your point of view.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Yeah, it just sounds much more...
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Schmallenberg sounds much more German than, certainly, Belgian.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56It could be Luxembourg,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00but I can't call to mind a Schmallenberg in Luxembourg.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01No. OK.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06We're actually not quite sure, but we're going to go for Germany.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Oh, right. So, you went all round the houses.- Yes!
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Germany is the right answer. - Well done, Daphne.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You so nearly had them there!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I was so excited for you!
0:23:19 > 0:23:23OK, your question. The Green Bay Packers American football team
0:23:23 > 0:23:25is based in which US State?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- I know that for definite. - On you go, sir.- For definite!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Green Bay is definitely in Wisconsin.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Green Bay, Wisconsin,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37the right answer, well done.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38OK.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Eggheads...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44in politics, the phrase "pink-tied" is sometimes used to describe
0:23:44 > 0:23:47the belief that left-wing ideology is becoming more
0:23:47 > 0:23:50prevalent in which part of the world?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- It's not Western Europe, is it? - Well...- North Africa.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Is it tied, T-I-E-D?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Yeah.- So, tied as in...yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Well, I mean, the logic, I suppose, is Latin America, isn't it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Because you've got the likes of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12they've all gone left-wing.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And Western Europe is a mixture.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18So, I think...I've not actually heard the phrase,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20but, um, it makes...
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- It's the only one that makes any sense, isn't it?- Yes, OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Um, we are going to go for Latin America.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Latin America is right.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Well done.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Back to the Challengers, your third question.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Get this right, get the pressure on them, who knows?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Who wrote the novel The Last Temptation Of Christ...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43first published in the 1950s?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Do you have any idea?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I think it's the middle one. I really don't know why!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I know Primo Levi wrote If This Is A Man,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02and I don't think he wrote
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- The Last Temptation Of Christ.- No.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Yes, I knew this one, I think.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I can't pronounce that! Um...
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- We can rule out Primo Levi. - Rule out Primo Levi.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Em...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I don't think it's Hermann Hesse.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Shall we go for the middle one? - Go for the middle one.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're going to go for Nikos Kazantzakis.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Nikos Kazantzakis is the right answer.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Nice play.- Well done, mate. - Nice play, so three to you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37You've done very well. You couldn't have done any better at this stage.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Eggheads, if you get this wrong...
0:25:40 > 0:25:41you've been crushed.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Which media tycoon married the English-born journalist
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Barbara Amiel in 1992?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Conrad Black.- Conrad Black.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Oh, good. We're all agreed, Conrad Black.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Daphne, the answer is indeed Conrad Black. Well done.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So, three points each. After three questions,
0:26:02 > 0:26:03we go to Sudden Death,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and it's a bit harder now cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Here we go.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11The 2004 documentary Some Kind Of Monster
0:26:11 > 0:26:13charted the internal power struggles
0:26:13 > 0:26:15of which rock band attempting to record an album?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Metallica.- It definitely is. - Yes, yes, yes, yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Some Kind Of Monster is Metallica.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Are they a band you like, Justin?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- They are indeed, yes! - I've got many of their albums.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's a very famous documentary. I've seen it, actually,
0:26:29 > 0:26:34cos it's a very intimate portrait of Metallica. Well done.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35OK, Eggheads.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Lacsa is the national airline of which country?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Spelt L-ACSA.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Oh, dear.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Get this wrong, it's over.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- L-A-S-C-A. - No, it's L-A-C-S-A, wasn't it?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Lacsa, L-A-C-S-A.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Oh, well.- Countries that begin with L. Liberia...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05So... Pardon?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07HE MUMBLES
0:27:07 > 0:27:11So, it's not Lithuania or...Latvian? No.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Um...
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Latvia.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17No...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I wonder if it...
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Latvia, Lithuania...- Does anybody know of a Czech airline?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25No.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- No. Slovenia... - Cos, I'm just thinking of the CS.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Let's try Czechoslovakia.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- Czech Republic.- I mean, yeah, Czech Republic, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Well, I think you've won, cos we don't have a clue!
0:27:42 > 0:27:46We're going to try the Czech Republic.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49You think Lacsa is the national airline of the Czech Republic.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Well, we don't know! - It's pick a country time!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Lacsa is the national airline
0:27:57 > 0:28:00of Costa Rica. You've got it wrong.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We say congratulations, Challengers! You have won!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Beating the Eggheads and £4,000. How about that?
