0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:36 > 0:00:41today are the Sensational Alex Fairley Band from Glasgow.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This friends and family team share a love of rock music,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47in particular the songs of the group from which they've
0:00:47 > 0:00:50taken their name - the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Let's meet them.- Hi. My name's Alex, I'm 59 years old
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and I've been a civil servant for 23 years.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi. My name's Emma. I'm 30 years old.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm studying for a PhD in Geology.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, my name's Alan. I'm 57 years old.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I've been a civil servant for 24 years.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hi, my name is Craig.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm 48 and I've been a civil servant for 30 years.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hi. My name's Alex.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I'm 52 years old and I've been a civil servant for 33 years.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- So, Alex and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Good to see you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- And, you sir, are Alex Fairley. - I am. Guilty.- I claim my £5.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- So, named after the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.- Yes. More or less.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Tell us about... Is it a specific love of that band, or that era?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37It's a love of rock music from that era.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Because I play in a band,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43the guys thought it would be kind of jokey to call our team
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the Sensational Alex Fairley Band
0:01:45 > 0:01:49because we all have a kind of passion for Alex Harvey and we thought
0:01:49 > 0:01:52he's probably one of the best rock bands to come out of Glasgow.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55All right. Do you quiz? That's the other key question.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- We had a quiz in the building. - This building?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03No, the army pensions centre where we work.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- That was last August. And we came third out of 20 teams.- All right.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Well, it sounds promising. Good luck against these Eggheads.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, Sensational Alex Fairley Band, I can tell you the Eggheads won just
0:02:23 > 0:02:27the last game, which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Do you want to try? - We'll give it a go!- Give it a go.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of film and television.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Who is your key film and TV person?- That's me.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Alex, down at the far end, against which Egghead?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You can choose anyone.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I think possibly Judith. Or...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Chris?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Go for Chris.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Chris.- Chris.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK. So, Alex, from the Sensational Alex Fairley Band,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Good mood today? - Yeah, excellent mood, actually.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Especially since it's not sport! - It's not sport. You're right.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09would you please both take your places in the Question Room?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, film and television, Alex.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- And you can choose whether you go first or second.- I'll go first.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Here we go. And good luck.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21What is the title of Danny Boyle's 2013 film in which
0:03:21 > 0:03:24James McAvoy played a character called Simon?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Um...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I'm not quite sure about that. Don't think it's France.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Um...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm going to go for Trance.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It's the only one that rings a bell with me.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Yeah, the bell is a real bell. Trance is correct.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, Chris. Your question.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Which James Bond film involves a plot to irradiate
0:03:51 > 0:03:53the bullion in Fort Knox?
0:03:58 > 0:04:04That is about the best Bond of the lot, with Gert Frobe as Goldfinger.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Goldfinger is correct. And I agree with you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10That's the great moment, isn't it, with the laser?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14"You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- THEY CHUCKLE - Brilliant! OK, Alex.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Which Coronation Street character was formerly known as Miss Nugent?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now, my wife's a big fan of this programme
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and I'm forced to watch it sometimes.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's not Rita cos she's got a shop.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Audrey was...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44..a councillor's wife, I'm sure.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I think it's Emily Bishop.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50She was Emily Nugent and her husband got shot.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm going to go for Emily Bishop.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Really good work. Emily Bishop is right.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Chris, your question.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Howard and Hilda, a married couple who usually wore matching
0:05:01 > 0:05:04jumpers, were characters in which TV sitcom?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12They were the extremely annoying neighbours who had the same
0:05:12 > 0:05:15surname as me in Ever Decreasing Circles.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Ever Decreasing Circles is quite right. Howard and Hilda Hughes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23OK, Alex. Your third question.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Stephanie in Grease II was one of the first leading
0:05:27 > 0:05:29roles for which actress?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I haven't seen this.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41But I'm going to take out Glenn Close cos I think she's too old for that.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I'm not sure of Michelle Pfeiffer or Jessica Lange.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I'm going to go for Jessica Lange.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Um... I could be wrong.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56OK, I can hear some murmurs beside me. I think Barry knows this one.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Barry? - The beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Michelle Pfeiffer, Alex.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05If you get this one right, you're in the final round, Chris.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07In a 1951 film, Gregory Peck
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and Susan Hayward starred as which two Biblical characters?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Hm...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Well, Samson and Delilah, that was Victor Mature.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, I don't know about,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30but I think Gregory Peck played David in David and Bathsheba.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32David and Bathsheba is quite right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, you got three out of three there, Chris,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and you've been beaten, Alex. I'm sorry.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- You won't be in the final round.- Oh, well.- That's what they tend to do.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Chris, you'll be in the final.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48As it stands, the Sensational Alex Fairley Band have lost
0:06:48 > 0:06:51a brain now from the final round.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53The Eggheads have still got all their brains.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The next subject is history. Who wants this, Alex?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Do you want to take it? - That's definitely you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- I'll take it. - Alan's going to take this one.- OK.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Alan on history against whom?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Anyone but Chris.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Maybe Daphne?- OK.- Daphne?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yep.- Daphne.- Daphne.- You're going to take Daphne.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, it's going to be Alan from the Sensational Alex Fairley Band
0:07:15 > 0:07:19versus Daphne from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- So, Alan, another rocker, if can put it like that?- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- I think you could put it like that. - Having played music yourself
0:07:27 > 0:07:30and just adored music for a long time, I know.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I do. I still love music, yeah. All the time.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Do you find yourself seeking out the bands you loved 20-30 years ago?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Kind of similar to Alex.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I liked Free, Bad Company, I was a big David Bowie fan.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- So is it good to see Bowie back in action?- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've not listened to his latest stuff.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm still with Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane and...you know.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54All the documentaries on him make you realise how special he was.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Oh, he's a very talented man. - Very, very talented indeed.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Bowie's career's been so long, I wouldn't be surprised
0:08:00 > 0:08:03if he came up in the history round, but I think it's unlikely, Alan.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Here we go. Good luck to you both.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15In a medieval household, what was the usual name for the room
0:08:15 > 0:08:19where casks of wine or ale were stored?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Mm. I'm not too sure with this one, actually.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Um... I'm not too sure if it's cheesery.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32But I know there's a restaurant called The Buttery.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So I'm going to go for buttery.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I had a friend at school whose name was Buttery.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Buttery's the right answer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Well done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Why is it "buttery"? why do we say that, Daphne?
0:08:45 > 0:08:50It comes from bottles and butts, you know.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53You've got butts of wine and beer.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Sure. I see.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59OK. Your question, Daphne. In Russian history, the Time
0:08:59 > 0:09:03of Troubles ended in 1613 with the establishment of which dynasty?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10SHE CHUCKLES
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Well, there's only one Russian dynasty and that's the Romanov.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- You laughed at the Gromeko?- Yes! - Where are they from?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Um, I think it's a play on Andrei Gromyko,
0:09:24 > 0:09:28who was a 20th century politician.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, that fella! Yeah, I know the one you mean.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Romanov is correct.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Back to you, Alan.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Which European monarch was taken prisoner following the 1870
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Battle of Sedan?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Well, I don't think it was George III of Britain.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51And if I'm being quite honest,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I didn't even know there was a Napoleon III of France.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm going to go for Frederick of Prussia.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- See if your team-mates know. Anybody know?- Napoleon.- I'd guess Napoleon.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Yeah, they're saying Napoleon and they're right too.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It is Napoleon III of France.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Taken prisoner following the 1870 Battle of Sedan. How soon we forget!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Daphne, your question.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The Savoy Palace, the London residence of John of Gaunt,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21was destroyed during which historical event?
0:10:25 > 0:10:30I think it was burnt down during the Peasants' Revolt.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34It was indeed! Peasants' Revolt is correct.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Alan, she's got two, you've got one. You must get this one right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Patent number 6469 for a device which helped to lift boats
0:10:44 > 0:10:47was awarded to which American in 1849?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Well, again, I'm not too sure of this one.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I mean, William T Sherman, I don't know if that's the Sherman tank.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Um...
0:11:04 > 0:11:08So I'm going to go for Washington Irving.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Do you know, Daphne?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Abraham Lincoln.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Something he invented before he became president, is it?- Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Amazing. Didn't know that. Abraham Lincoln is the right answer, Alan.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Sorry. Daphne's taken the round with her two correct answers.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You won't be in the final, helping your team.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Both of you, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34The Abraham Lincoln invention was to give ships or other vessels
0:11:34 > 0:11:37a bit of uplift as they went over shoals.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39How did he do it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I can't tell you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It's too secret. There's a patent on it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47As it stands, the Sensational Alex Fairley Band have lost two
0:11:47 > 0:11:50brains from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Alex, any thoughts on a change of plan, or ploughing on?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- We shall plough on, regardless!- Good!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The next subject is arts and books.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Whose is this?- Right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- I get the short straw with this one. - Craig.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I was hoping for sport, but OK, arts and books.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It'll probably come up next now!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Who would you like?- Judith? Nah!
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- Um... I think I'll go for Barry.- Barry?- Mm.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Barry, OK. Sorry, Judith. You were nearly...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- HE CHUCKLES - Sorry, Judith!- Sorry!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28So, Craig from the Sensational Alex Fairley Band versus...
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I was going to say Judith, but not Judith - Barry from the Eggheads.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So you're another fan of the Alex Harvey Band, Craig?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah, they're not bad, actually.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I'm not really a fan of the rock music of the '70s,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45but I just go along with them anyway.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- It's a good biog. - It's more fun, yeah.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52The Alex Harvey Band had an album called The Impossible Dream.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Oh, yeah?- Which I thought I might raise at this stage in the quiz.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58It looks like it, doesn't it? It really does!
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Especially with me with arts and literature.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04OK, arts and books, Craig, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'll go first.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Here we go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12In which British city does Shirley live in the stage play
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Shirley Valentine?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Right. That's quite good, I think.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23I've got a good chance with this one.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's not Brighton, it's not Oxford.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's going to be Liverpool, I'll go for.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Liverpool is the correct answer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well done.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Barry, your first question.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The writers Guy de Maupassant and Emile Zola were two
0:13:39 > 0:13:43signatories to a petition against the construction of what?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I think they were very much against the Eiffel Tower.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55They considered it to be somewhat of an eyesore.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think time has proven them quite wrong.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yes. Isn't it funny?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02People take a stand against something
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and it just looks ridiculous 100 years later.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Eiffel Tower is correct.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Back to you, Craig.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14An Unexpected Party, Roast Mutton and The Return Journey
0:14:14 > 0:14:17are chapter titles in which classic children's book?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Right, it's a classic, Jeremy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26And I'm arts and literature,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30so...I should have a good chance with this one, yeah?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33But I haven't a clue!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Um... I think I do remember taking my children to this.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think it's got to be Charlotte's Web.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- Yeah, I went to see that movie. It's not that though.- OK.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's The Hobbit.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Barry, your question.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53In Arthur Wing Pinero's play Trelawny of the Wells,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55what is Trelawny's first name?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Goodness me. I haven't the faintest idea.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Daisy, Lily or Rose?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Rose seems to fit well, so I'll go for Rose.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Rose is correct. - HE CHUCKLES
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- How unfair is that?- I'm sorry. - A stab in the dark!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Complete stab in the dark. Rose Trelawny.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21So he's ahead now, Craig, which means you need this one right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Who wrote the 1888 novella A London Life?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm thinking...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36London life...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39So it may be about... Maybe it's a foreigner written it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Joseph Con...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I'm drawn more to Thomas Hardy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'm going to go for Thomas Hardy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Barry, do you know?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'd be more inclined to go for Henry James,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57who lived in London for quite a while.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yeah, the answer is Henry James, Craig.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03So, with that, I'm afraid, there's no way back for you,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06so you've lost the round and will not be in the final.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Barry, you will.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Gentlemen, please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16OK, as it stands, the Sensational Alex Fairley Band have lost
0:16:16 > 0:16:19three brains from the final round, but it's not a crisis yet.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21In rock terms,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25we're towards the end of the guitar solo in the middle of the record.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Yeah, but the drum solo starts next! - The drum solo starts! Exactly!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And we've got to drum at least one of them out.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. The next subject is geography.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Who is that?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I guess that's me, if the captain's going down with the ship.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- My daughter.- All right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Emma, before you go, choose an Egghead.- Ooh, who do you think?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Could be Pat or Judith. - Judith.- Judith?- Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54OK. I think I'd like to face Judith, please.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57OK, so Emma from the Sensational Alex Fairley Band versus Judith.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04So, Emma, we've been describing the team as the
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Sensational Alex Fairley Band, referring to your father, Alex.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And only you can tell us whether he really is sensational!
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I think I would have to agree. Definitely sensational!
0:17:16 > 0:17:20You're doing geography. This is handy - you're studying geography.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- No.- It's not quite the same - it's geology.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I can tell you where the rocks are,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28not necessarily what capital city they're next to.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Rocks might come up. - Fingers crossed!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- So, your band has rock covered from every single dimension.- Yep!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- All perspectives.- Excellent. Good luck in this round.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I'd like to go first, please.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Here we go. The shortest route from Miami, Florida,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52to Seattle, Washington, is in which general direction?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58From Miami to Seattle?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Yes.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03That would be going...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05North-west.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Well done. You're absolutely right. North-west.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I was counting in my head round the compass.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Yeah, it is actually the kind of thing where somebody suddenly
0:18:14 > 0:18:16says south-east or whatever and just panics.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well done. Sometimes, the simplest questions are the hardest.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Isn't that right, Judith? - That IS right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27The 150 mile network of paths around the periphery of London is
0:18:27 > 0:18:29known by what name?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I think it must be London Ring.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38But I've never heard of it, I must say.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41You don't think London Arc or London Loop?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Well, it could conceivably be those,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46but I think Ring is most likely.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- It's the London Loop.- What?!- Yes!
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Nasty question!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Really difficult!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- OK. That's good, isn't it, Emma?- Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Hopefully. We'll see how it goes from now on in.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04El Alto Airport, one of the world's highest, is in which country?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I would be inclined to guess Bolivia cos
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I know there's a lot of high-lying land in Bolivia.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Count out Nepal. The name sounds Spanish.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I don't think it's Mexico, so I would guess Bolivia.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Very, very good. Bolivia is correct.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Playing really well. OK, Judith. Let's get you a point, if you can.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32A feature of high altitudes, what are penitentes?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Penitentes? - It's spelled P-E-N-I-T-E-N-T-E-S.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Penitentes. I don't know.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47My brain's left my skull
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- at the moment.- Do you want us to try and track it down?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Yes, that would be kind.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Um...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Do you know? I really don't know.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I had a sort of thing in my head that clusters of lakes could be
0:20:00 > 0:20:04something to do with tears and thus penitentes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Is that your answer?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Yes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Clusters of lakes. Anyone know on this side?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Yeah, they're blades of ice.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You find them in Patagonia, but they're named "penitentes"
0:20:15 > 0:20:18because they're meant to look like, I think,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21people in the white robes that they wear to church services.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Wow! Great explanation! Of course, the geologist will know.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Why didn't I think of that?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Emma, well done. Judith, you're wrong. Blades of ice.- Well done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Well, you're out, Judith. No way back.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37You won't be in the final round. Well done, Emma.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Got your place in the final after two questions there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You'll be with your dad.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45And if you both come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52is general knowledge.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:54 > 0:20:56allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01So, Alan, Craig and Alex M, from the Sensational Alex Fairley Band, and
0:21:01 > 0:21:06also Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Alex and Emma, you're playing to win
0:21:08 > 0:21:12the Sensational Alex Fairley Band £2,000.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something that
0:21:15 > 0:21:18money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26You are allowed to confer. OK?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30So the question is, Alex and Emma, are your two brains able to
0:21:30 > 0:21:33destroy the Eggheads' four, on this occasion?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- And would you like to go first or second?- First.- Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38We're going to go first, please.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43What is Birmingham City Football Club's nickname?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- The Blues?- I have no idea.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I believe it's...the Blues.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56The Blues is the right answer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Good. Glad you knew.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- That's good. You got the penitentes.- Yes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03He's got the Blues.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Eggheads, the distinctive opening logo theme music for which
0:22:07 > 0:22:10film studio was composed by Alfred Newman?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I have no idea.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Any?
0:22:19 > 0:22:2020th Century Fox is...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's the kind of staccato thing with the old searchlights.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The fanfare, 20th Century Fox.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Of the three, the Disney music is melodic and memorable as a distinct
0:22:30 > 0:22:34piece of music, but the other two don't really stick in the head.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Wish Upon A Star, isn't it, the Disney theme tune? Pinocchio.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I can't recall any music for Paramount. It's just the mountain.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Just a picture of the mountain. Yeah, with the stars round it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Maybe there is.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49# Da-da da-da-da-da... # That's 20th Century Fox.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- It's just a fanfare. - Yeah, it's just a fanfare.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53He could have composed the fanfare.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58A fanfare is music. I don't know what they play for Paramount.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Disney, I'm sure, is When You Wish Upon A Star.- Yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Could that be Newman? CHRIS WHISTLES
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- It could be. - Could be.- What do you think, Daphne?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I haven't got a clue.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- I think that's the only proper music that we know, isn't it?- It's a tune.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- 20th Century Fox is just a fanfare. - And nobody can recall...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Paramount just has a couple of arpeggios going into that mountain.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Shall we go for Disney?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Got to go for something.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29OK. Well, we're in great danger here, I think.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35Well, Jeremy, we're a bit foxed here. We're going to go for Disney.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Disney is your answer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- You're "foxed"!- Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40And you've gone for Disney!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Somewhere in your mind, something was saying Fox.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Oh, no!- But you ignored it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- This is 20th Century Fox. - Oh! Oh, dear.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53So it's a distinctive piece of music. That's the key thing.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Fanfare or not, he composed it. Alfred Newman.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Obviously not distinctive enough. - Well, there we go.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05What about that for a start? They've tripped up on the first question.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Playing for £2,000, final round. Hold focus, challengers.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Who designed the original panda logo for the WWF?
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Jacques Cousteau is mainly kind of sea things...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Oh!- ..and, er, marine biology. - Yeah, I remember...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Steve Irwin is... Australian guy... - I think he's too young.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Too young. I think it's Peter Scott.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- OK, well...- Cos Peter Scott goes back to, like,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36programmes in the '50s,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and that logo was kind of late '60s, maybe?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's why I was thinking it wasn't Steve Irwin.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Definitely not Steve Irwin. Jacques Cousteau, marine biology.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Yeah, I remember Life Aquatic.- Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Erm, OK, I'll go with Peter Scott if that's what you...
0:24:51 > 0:24:53We're going to go for Peter Scott, please.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Peter Scott is correct.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well done, Peter Scott, brilliant.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- Sensational in fact.- Thank you.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So the challengers have got two and the Eggheads have got zero.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Are we seeing a bit of the old Costa Rican Airlines syndrome here?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13The character Alan Partridge
0:25:13 > 0:25:15was first heard on which radio comedy programme?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I thought it was On The Hour.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Down The Line. - He appeared in a news show
0:25:28 > 0:25:30but was that on television and not radio?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33He appeared in The Day Today, didn't he, at one point.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oh, that's the one I'm thinking of, The Day Today.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Down The Line rings a distant bell
0:25:37 > 0:25:40but I wouldn't have any great confidence.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I don't know, so I couldn't say.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Oh, this could be embarrassing.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Gosh, we're all at sea in this one, aren't we?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I've a very faint idea it's Down The Line but no more than that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, I've changed my mind because it's a radio one
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and it's not the one I'm thinking of. That was The Day Today, so...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Yeah, that's telly.- That's telly. - I don't think it was Radio Active.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I'm inclined to go with you cos you're the only one
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- who's got an idea, so, go with it. - We can't go on like this, Jeremy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We're in doubt here as well.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We're going to go for Down The Line.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Down The Line.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21If you have got this wrong then the Sensational Alex Fairley Band
0:26:21 > 0:26:25are champions, and you'd only just got yourselves back together
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- after the incident, as we shall call it.- Yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31When was the last time you got two wrong,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33the first two wrong in a final round?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Oh, a long, long time ago. - Ever done that? Ever happened?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Probably. We've done an awful lot of programmes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43You'd be hard pressed to win a quiz in a pub at this rate.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45The answer is On The Hour.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48We say congratulations to the challengers!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- You were sensational! You were sensational.- We do try.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02You just plugged away, ever since Emma's gone in the booth.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yeah, she turned it around. My girl.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Everything was going wrong until that moment.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I don't have to worry about getting kicked out of my PhD
0:27:09 > 0:27:12on Monday morning now when I go back to uni!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So you have beaten the Eggheads, well done! Eggheads...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17They haven't beaten us, they've thrashed us!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I don't know what to say, I want to spare your feelings
0:27:20 > 0:27:22but I can't, it's just...!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- We were rubbish!- You said it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Mediocre, let's leave it at mediocre, and of course, you play a
0:27:28 > 0:27:33very tight game and you're very good normally, but something is amiss.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You can take no blame for this, Judith.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You were not at the scene of the crime.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40No, and I wouldn't have known the answers cos they were very difficult questions.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43They were very difficult to know what radio programme
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Alan Partridge was on?- I think that's quite a difficult question.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48When it was being broadcast nationwide for several years?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, we can't listen to the radio and watch telly
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and go to the cinema and keep up with the music scene, can we?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And learn lists of airports!
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, I'm getting it in the neck! OK.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Right, well, it hasn't happened before in ten years of Eggheads
0:28:03 > 0:28:06that in the final round you strike out twice.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08We don't even get to the third question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11And if I'm being a little bit harsh on you, forgive me.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15There aren't many moments when you do that badly. Well done to you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Congratulations to the Sensational Alex Fairley Band,
0:28:18 > 0:28:19you have just won £2,000.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Is this a confidence crisis? Somehow I doubt it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Join us next time on Eggheads to see
0:28:28 > 0:28:31if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
