These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Taking on the awesome might of our Eggheads today are... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
This friends and family team met | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
through a love of amateur dramatics, and regularly socialise together | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
at team member Barbara's house, which they call the bolthole. Let's meet them. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi. My name's David. I'm 43 and I'm a firefighter. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi. My name's Lisa. I'm 44 and I'm an exams invigilator. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, my name is Barbara. I'm 62 and I'm a company director. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi, my name is Richard. I'm 58 and I'm an equipment resources manager. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Hi, I'm Viv. I'm 66 and I'm a retired nurse. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
Welcome to you, Boltholers. What a lovely house that sounds. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Barbara, tell me about the bolthole. What makes it such a place to meet? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
It's just an ordinary little bungalow. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
And it's one of those places when you open the door, it's welcoming. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
-It's because I'm there, of course. -Of course it is! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
Is there tea and biscuits and perhaps other drinks? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Yes, they know where the wine is kept. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-And the glasses. -They can help themselves. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-Straight from the bottle, maybe? -Occasionally. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
David, tell me about the amateur dramatics and any quizzing that goes on with you Boltholers. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
Well, we all get involved in amateur dramatics in some way, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
either through, like myself, writing and directing. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Richard does the technical bits and pieces. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
My wife puts up with it. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
LAUGHING: And occasionally makes tea. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
We all get together at a quiz on a Monday evening, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
and have done so for a couple of years now. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
And now putting it onto a bigger stage! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
The production comes to the main stage, to play the Eggheads. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
So, Boltholers, the Eggheads have won the last 18 games. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
£19,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-That would replenish the wine stocks, wouldn't it? -Wouldn't it just? It might fill a cellar. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
-Not for long! -LAUGHTER | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
£19,000 at stake then, today. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
It's the opening round, so any one of you | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
can take this one on. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-Barbara, how do you feel about Geography? -I've brought my virtual sword and I'll fall on it. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
Well, Dermot, it seems like Barbara has been volunteered for Geography. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
Exactly. Barbara, you can choose, or maybe the team will choose for you, an Egghead to play. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:09 | |
I'd really like the badge of honour | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
and I would love to pay Kevin, please. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-You can PAY him. Would you like to PLAY him? -I would like to pay him to play me. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:22 | |
-OK, a badge of honour playing Kevin? -That's right. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
At least if I lose, I can say I lost to the best person. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Yeah, that's a very good point, but be better to beat him, wouldn't it? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
Oh, wouldn't it just? If it's geography of Cornwall, I'll be fine! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Well, let's have Barbara and Kevin into the question room, please. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
Barbara decided to go for Kevin. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
It's Geography. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
I would really like to go first, please. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
Best of luck with your first question, Barbara. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Which country has the longest combined land borders in the world? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
Combined land borders? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I don't think it would be France. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
I'm going to rule that out immediately. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
I have to say that my gut feeling when the names came up was China. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
I'll go for China, please, Dermot. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Yes, right to do so. It's correct. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
Which canal links Bristol with Reading? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
The other two are a bit further north. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
That is the Kennet and Avon. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
That is correct. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Barbara, what is the currency | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
of the country sometimes known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
Um... I've not travelled there at all. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
It's not a part of the world that I've been. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Because of its proximity, I would have to go for ruble. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
The ruble for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-It's not, Barbara. Do you know, Kevin? -I think it's the denar. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
Denar, yes, that's the one we were looking for, so nothing for Barbara. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
Of course, it's only out of interest. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
There's no passing of questions in Eggheads. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Kevin, this is your second question. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Which capital city's main square is called Grand Place, or Grote Markt, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
and is the location of its famous town hall? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
As it happens, it's one of my very favourite squares | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
or large public spaces. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-It's the central one in Brussels. -Yeah, why do you like that? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
There's a lot of places to sit out and have some Belgian beer? | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
There is that. I mean, there's just something. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
It just seems perfect, in terms of the size of the space | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
and those very high, very ornate buildings all around it. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-I was knocked out by it the first time I went there. -It is Brussels. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
You have two points. Barbara has one. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
You need another one here, Barbara. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Piton de la Fournaise, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
is on which island in the Indian Ocean? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Well, the pronunciation of that would indicate a French origin. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:25 | |
On the basis of that, seeing the word Reunion and Grande Comore, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
I would eliminate Socotra. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
So it's going to be a pure guess and I'm going to say... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
Ooh, I like the name. Grande Comore. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Grande Comore. You like the name. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
You won't like my response! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
You narrowed it down, but it is Reunion. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-Oh, dear! -Fail! -I'm sorry, Barbara. You'll have to bolt, I'm afraid! | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
You'll still help the team out, though, as they make those choices as we progress through the game. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
It means Kevin has a place in the final round. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Barbara not managing to get that badge of honour in getting rid of Kevin. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
As it stands, one brain missing, that is Barbara, from Bolthole. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
The Eggheads are all there. Our next subject is Film & Television. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
This might go down well with you. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
Who'd like to play Film & Television? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-Well.. -That is, without doubt, you! | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-No. Science. -David! | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-It's got to be David. -I will play, please. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
David, choose an Egghead. Can't be Kevin but any of the other four. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
Dermot, could I play Barry, please? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Let's ask Barry. He can't refuse, but we'll ask him. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-With pleasure. -He likes that round. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
Let's have David and Barry into the question room, please. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
It's Film & Television. Would you like to go first or second, David? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
I would like to go first, please. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Off we go. First question for you, David. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
In the 2002 film 28 Days Later, the character Jim | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
awakens from a coma to find himself in which largely deserted city? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Well, I actually haven't seen this film. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
So I'm going to have to start eliminating some things. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
I'm going to remove Paris, because Jim doesn't sound French. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
That leaves me with both sides of the Atlantic. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
A popular film, I believe would be made in New York. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-That would be my answer, New York. -OK, New York. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
I think there have been many films with New York deserted | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
or post-Apocalyptic. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
As for Jim not being French... What about Jules Et Jim? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
But it's...London. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
London. British film, wasn't it? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Barry, first question for you. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Film director Tim Burton and which British actress became parents to Billy Ray and Nell? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
Tim Burton has had an unusual arrangement with this actress. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
Although they've been together for many years, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
they live in separate but adjacent houses. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Interesting arrangement. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Tim Burton has always been associated | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
with Helena Bonham Carter. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
It's the right answer. Yes, Barry. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
David, let's get you started here. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Which famous film character | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
was first portrayed on screen as an adult by Elmo Lincoln in 1918? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:31 | |
I think that's far too early for Batman. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
So I'm removing that one. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
And Hercule Poirot, the creation of Agatha Christie. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
And I'm not sure that she'd written that character yet. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
So, purely by elimination, I'm going to give you the answer of Tarzan. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
And you'd be right to do so. Well done. OK, Barry. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
In 1998, Perry Fenwick took on the role of which character in the TV soap EastEnders? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:07 | |
This is not my favourite soap, but Mrs Egghead really loves it. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
So I always walk out the room when this is on and read a book! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
But I do believe Perry Fenwick plays Billy Mitchell in EastEnders. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Billy Mitchell is correct and gives you back the lead. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
You need to get this, David. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Broadcaster Bettany Hughes became known for her television programmes on which subject? | 0:10:28 | 0:10:34 | |
I happen to have watched a great many of these programmes, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
as she's travelled round the world. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
And...they're not nature. They're not economics. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-They're definitely history. -Definitely history! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Yes, they are. It's the right answer. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Going really strongly there, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
but being held back by that X from your first answer, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
which gives Barry this opportunity to win the round. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
Who directed the 2012 sci-fi blockbuster Avengers Assemble? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
Oh, dear. This is embarrassing because I've seen this film | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
and I can't recall who directed it. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm going to go for Christopher Nolan. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
Christopher Nolan. Other Eggheads? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Joss Whedon. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Joss Whedon. There you are. Great news for you, David. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
All-square, you getting one wrong at the beginning of those three | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
and Barry at the end. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
So we move into the Sudden Death phase and remove the options. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
This is yours, David. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
In which film did the actor James Dean play a character called Jim Stark? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:53 | |
Oh, dear. He only made a few films. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
And I'm only remembering one of them. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
The one I'm remembering is Rebel Without A Cause. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
So I'm going to give you Rebel Without A Cause. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Well I mean, on that basis, that it's the only one you can remember, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
better to give us that one than nothing, isn't it? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
Which is the right answer, by the way. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Rebel Without A Cause, Jimmy Dean as Jim Stark. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Barry, on which TV panel game, first screened in 2007, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
do team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack try to bluff their opponents? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Oh, dear. I have seen this a number of times | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
and I'm struggling to recall the name of the game. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
I really can't remember this, so I shall hazard a guess at True Or False. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
True Or False. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
No, it's not, Barry. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Do you know, David, just to give you the final honour? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-I'm afraid I don't know. -It doesn't matter. Other Eggheads? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-CHRIS AND DAVE: Would I Lie To You? -Would I Lie To You? | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
Coming back to you now, Barry. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Yes, too late. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
Well done, David. Really had to fight to get through there. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
And you've done it. Means you're in the final round. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Firefighter David extinguished Barry as he was burning very brightly. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
The Boltholers have still lost that one brain from the final round, but the Eggheads have now lost one. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:23 | |
Let's move on to round three. This subject is Politics. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Who'd like to play this? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-Lisa, Richard or Viv? -Viv is going to play Politics. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
Viv, we've got you sorted, so let's choose someone for you to play. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Chris, Daphne or Dave? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-BARBARA: -Tremendous Knowledge? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-What about TK Dave? -Yeah, I'll go for TK Dave. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-Yeah, TK Dave! -TK Dave! | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Let's have Tremendous Knowledge into the question room with you, Viv. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
Viv, hopefully David's success | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
can spur you on to getting through against Dave. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
All right, Viv, and best of luck with your first question. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
According to convention, how are MPs usually addressed in the House of Commons? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
It's definitely not Gracious Member. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Respectable or Honourable, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
either of those are doubtful with some of our politicians. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
But traditionally, it's Honourable Member. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
-CHUCKLING: -Yes, it is! Thank you for the extra comments, Viv. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Honourable Member is correct. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
"Usually addressed in the House of Commons". | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Occasionally, somebody uses the L word and is banished from the House. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:49 | |
Calls an MP a "liar". Not allowed in the chamber. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Your first question, Dave. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
In July 2012, the premier of which country was reported to have married a singer called Ri Sol Ju? | 0:14:54 | 0:15:01 | |
-Can you spell it for me, please? -R-I S-O-L J-U. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
Three words. Ri Sol Ju. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
I'll have to go North Korea, with no conviction at all. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
Yeah, well, just on the name. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
North Korea, it's the right answer. Good start to both of you. Viv. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
The Treaty of Lisbon, signed in 2007, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
established new rules for which organisation? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Well, I don't think it was NATO. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
I think you can rule NATO out. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
I think...it was the European Union. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
Yeah, I'll go for European Union. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
EU is correct, Viv. Well done. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Dave, the five giant evils that the 1942 Beveridge Report identified | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
were want, disease, ignorance, squalor and what else? | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
Um... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
I will have to have a stab at idleness. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
Idleness, a giant evil identified by the Beveridge Report. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
Correct. Well done. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
In the Cabinet Room in 10 Downing St whose portrait is on the wall | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
over the fireplace behind the Prime Minister's chair? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Well, I don't really know this one, but... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
I doubt it's Queen Victoria. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
I would assume that if it was the Queen or a monarch | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
it would have to be changed every time the monarch changed. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
Going purely on gut instinct, I would go for Robert Walpole. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
Which is the right answer! Well done, Viv. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
All the pressure on Dave now. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Whose 1867 book entitled The English Constitution | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
is regarded as one of the best accounts of the British political system ever written? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
That's Walter Bagehot. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-OK, the one in the middle. -Yeah. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Walter Bagehot is correct, Dave. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Both know your politics here, as you're demonstrating. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
Nobody got one wrong yet, so we go to Sudden Death. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Viv, the headline "It's the Sun wot won it" | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
first appeared on the front page of the Sun newspaper after which year's General Election? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
I believe that was...1979. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
OK, 1979, of course, Margaret Thatcher's first success. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
It's incorrect. Not 1979. Do you know, Dave? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
I would have gone for when Neil Kinnock was against John Major in 1992. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:57 | |
That's the one, 1992. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
And you've hit upon it because just before the election, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
didn't they print a front page of Neil Kinnock's head in a light bulb? | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
Wasn't it the one after Neil Kinnock had had the rally at Sheffield, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
where it looked like Labour was winning in the opinion polls, or people believed? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
Then the Sun put something about turning the lights out, last person to leave the country. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:23 | |
Yeah, Neil Kinnock's head in a light bulb. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
There we are. 1992. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-It wasn't your question, Dave. -No! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
-I'll get this one wrong now. -You have to get this to win. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
The Parliament of Canada is located in which city? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
Ottawa. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
He knows those. It's the right answer, Dave. You're through. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-Viv, you were going so well. -Very well. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-You had a real chance. -It's the way the questions fall. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-I'm sure if Viv had had my set... -I knew Ottawa! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
She would have won, so it's the way the questions fall. I'm sorry, Viv. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
Great stuff! The hand across the trenches. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
Let's have Viv and Dave back in the studio, please. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
Some high-quality quizzing, but Dave just squeezed through against Viv, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
so the Boltholers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
What's going to happen in our last head-to-head? It's Music. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Who wants to play? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
It can only be Richard or Lisa. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-What are we looking at, folks? -We knew what that was on the plan. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
-Couldn't have fallen better. -Dermot, Lisa would like to play. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
And choose from Daphne or Chris. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-I would love to play against Daphne. -Would you? -I would. -Are you sure? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Yes. DERMOT LAUGHS | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
Give her a good run for the money. Let's have Lisa and Daphne into the question room, please. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:46 | |
All right, Lisa, can you make it? Playing Daphne here. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -I'll go first, please. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Best of luck, Lisa. First question. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
"And so, you're back from outer space | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
"I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face" | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
are lines from which 1970s hit single? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
Um... I don't think it's I Will Survive. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
I think it's Video Killed The Radio Star, so I'll go for that. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
Video Killed The Radio Star. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-Unfortunately, Lisa, it is I Will Survive. -Oh, no. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
That anthem, almost. Yes, I Will I Survive. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:37 | |
Let's hope you will survive after that stumble. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Daphne, the American band Lady Antebellum, formed in 2006, | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
specialises in which genre of music? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
I think they've won Grammys, haven't they? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
They're country. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Country music? Correct, Daphne. Lisa, I think you need to get this. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
Which musical theatre star played the title role | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
in the 2012 West End production of Sweeney Todd | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
opposite Imelda Staunton as Mrs Lovett? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
I haven't seen this and I haven't actually heard too much about it. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
So I'm not really sure, but I will go for Lee Mead. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
Lee Mead, do the Boltholers agree, | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
given that this is your favourite subject? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
No, I believe we would say Michael Ball. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
-Oh, dear. Yeah, it's Michael Ball. -OK. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
I said "I will survive". You won't if Daphne gets this. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
Daphne, what was the the 2008 album with which Katy Perry made her commercial breakthrough? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:52 | |
Not Hard Candy. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
That's Madonna. Um... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
TO HERSELF: Katy Perry...? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
SIGHS 50-50. One Of The Boys. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
50-50 guess, One Of The Boys. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-We know how bad you are at guessing, Daphne(!) -Yes. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-LAUGHS: -It's the right answer! It's correct. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
Well, I'm afraid, Lisa, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
we close it down there. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
Means no place for you in the final round. Would you both please join your teams? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:39 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
So, Lisa, Barbara and and Viv from the Boltholers | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
and Barry from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio now? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
David and Richard, you are playing to win the Boltholers £19,000. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
Kevin, Dave, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something which money cannot buy - | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
The question is, Boltholers, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:20 | |
David and Richard, in terms of tactics, do you want to go first or second? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
-What do you think? -Probably best to go first, I think. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
Good luck, David and Richard. First question for you. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Which creature's name is derived from the Afrikaans for "earth pig"? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:39 | |
Which creature's name is derived from the Afrikaans for "earth pig"? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
Well, I know it's not a kudu, cos that's a deer. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
-Right. -And an ostrich is... | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
-We know what an ostrich is. It's a bird. -Yes. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
I would say it's an aardvark. Would you agree with that? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
-That process of elimination, I will go with. -Your answer is...? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
-Aardvark. -It's correct. Well done. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
Which Yorkshire river flows through York, Selby and Goole? | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
Which Yorkshire river flows through York, Selby and Goole? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
That's the Ouse. It always floods in York, doesn't it? | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
That's the Yorkshire Ouse, Dermot. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
Well, we haven't offered you any other Ouses! | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
-There is another one. -I know, being very careful, but you don't need to. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
It is the Ouse. Your Yorkshire correspondent not required. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
He's silent in the question room. It's the right answer. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
Your question now, Boltholers. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of what? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of what? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:03 | |
Wire cut? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
I'm inclined to be drawn towards brick. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
-That's how you would actually... -That's what I was thinking of. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
The type of brick they are. Pastry crust? No. I can't see it. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:17 | |
-Neckline, I can't see. -No. -I'm actually drawn towards brick. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
So, the answer would be brick. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of brick. It's correct. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
Wellington constructed the lines of Torres Vedras to defend which city in 1810? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:38 | |
Wellington constructed the lines of Torres Vedras | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
to defend which city in 1810? | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-Lisbon, Kevin? -Lisbon, yeah. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
That's Lisbon, Dermot. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Is this the Peninsular Wars? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
-Yeah. -It's the correct answer. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
Well done, Eggheads. Going well, Boltholers. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Keep it up. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
In which role did Alber Elbaz become influential in the fashion world? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
In which role did Alber Elbaz become influential in the fashion world? | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
Alber, first name, A-L-B-E-R. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
Surname, Elbaz, E-L-B-A-Z. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
-Alber Elbaz? -I'm drawn towards photography. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
I... Possibly photographer, but... | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
-What are you thinking? -I don't think he was a model. -No. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Eliminate model altogether. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
It's not a photographer's name I know. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
-Plus, also, I don't know any designer called that. -No. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
So it's going to be a 50-50 between photographer or designer. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
Elbaz, I just haven't heard of it. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
No, I'd never heard of him. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
-Would you just say photographer? -I'd go for photographer. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
That would be my call, but I'll leave it to you. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
The only one I can think of possibly would be a photographer, Dermot. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
Photographer for Alber Elbaz? | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
In the world of fashion, best known, influential as a... | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
designer. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Designer! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
So, a dangerous spot to stumble at. Eggheads, then, to win the game. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:24 | |
In Scandinavian history, what was a skald? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
In Scandinavian history, what was a skald, S-K-A-L-D? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
-A poet. He's the one that did all the sagas. -The saga man, yes. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
He talked to the kings and declared the wars. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
He was basically, the keeper of the sagas, a poet. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
A poet? For another victory. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
You have it. It is correct. You've won. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Bad luck, Boltholers. I can tell by the way you've been quizzing, | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
even those that just failed in those head-to-heads, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
you're a very good quiz team. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
But you came up against the best and they really are on a run of form. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:14 | |
Thank you very much indeed for attempting to beat the Eggheads. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
But, of course, you have the comforts of the bolthole awaiting. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
-LAUGHING: -We do! -Definitely. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £19,000. The money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:33 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
Join us to see if a new team of challengers have those brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:42 | |
Because £20,000 now says they don't. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
