0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Scousers On Tour.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This friends and family team are extremely proud
0:00:39 > 0:00:42to be from the city of guess where? Liverpool.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48So much so that team captain Gary regularly organises tours of the city. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Gary, I'm 54, I'm a tour operator and I'm a bakery team leader.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Gary, I'm 30 years old and I'm a logistics supervisor.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Danny, I'm 21 and I'm a restaurant supervisor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Bill, I'm 48 and I'm an accountant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Tony, I'm 67 and I'm a steward in a local community centre.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Welcome to you, Scousers On Tour. Good to see you all.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Let's start with you, Gary. You mentioned those tours of Liverpool.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Is that what the team name refers to or is it that you've spread your wings
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and ended up in exotic Glasgow where we record this?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We're on tour here. The Scousers have come here on a mission.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29But at Heart of the City, we basically...
0:01:29 > 0:01:35A lot of people who come to Liverpool, they think it's all about the Beatles and football.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37But I like to bring people into our fantastic city
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and take them round into the roots, to meet the real people
0:01:41 > 0:01:46and take them round the local places that don't get as much publicity
0:01:46 > 0:01:48as other parts of the city.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And we're all proud Scousers. We love our city
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and it's good to get close to people and bring them over
0:01:54 > 0:01:55and they always come back for more.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The Egghead should sign up for that.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I bet you'd give them a few little gems of knowledge that people wouldn't have known before.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I'd give them a wrong impression. I'd give them some false information.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10OK, let's play the game and good luck to you, Scousers On Tour.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So, Scousers On Tour, the Eggheads have won two games,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24that means £3,000 says you cannot beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And our first head to head battle is going to be on Film & Television.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Who wants to take this one on?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I think er... I think Danny would be good for this one.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35OK, yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And... Who do you reckon?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Er...
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Chris.- Yeah. Danny will take on Chris.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46You've thought your tactics out, watched the programme and analysed the Eggheads?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- We've got a game plan. - Ah, OK, good.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Right, well, let's see it in action, then.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's Danny against Chris for our opening head to head
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and, as you know, you've both got to go to the question room, please.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Chris, the lads here were telling me about the history of Liverpool
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and they had an overhead railway. Do you know about that?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yes, they did. Dingle to Seaforth Sands.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Used to be on a steel viaduct all the length of the docks.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It was an independent company. It was never nationalised in '47.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17So it staggered on till '57, when a lot of renewals were due and it just lay down and died
0:03:17 > 0:03:21and now there's virtually no trace of it apart from the tunnel mouth in the cliff at Dingle
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and the tunnel through Dingle station.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25All the rest of it has disappeared.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Chris, you're making me laugh because I said, "I think Chris might know a little bit about it."
0:03:30 > 0:03:32That's fantastic stuff.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- And, Bill, what was the nickname for it?- The dockers' umbrella.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The dockers' umbrella. What a great nickname.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Pity it's not there now.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43OK, well, let's play the round and it's Film & Television
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and as the challenger, Danny, you get to choose.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56All right. You're kicking off, then, Chris, and here's your question.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Which TV soap features an underwear factory called Underworld?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Which TV soap features an underwear factory called Underworld?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11The only soap I watch these days. It's good old Coronation Street.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16No problems with that answer. Yes, that's correct. Corrie.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And, Danny, first question for you.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Who provides the voice of Puss In Boots in the Shrek films?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Who provides the voice of Puss In Boots in the Shrek films?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I'm not entirely sure
0:04:31 > 0:04:36but I've got a feeling it's someone with a bit of an exotic accent.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So I'm going to go with Antonio Banderas.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- OK. Have you seen any of them?- No. - There's a Puss In Boots film as well.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- You haven't?- No.- You've got it, anyway. Antonio Banderas is correct.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Chris, which James Bond film features Curt Jurgens
0:04:53 > 0:04:55as the main villain?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Erm... Dr No was Joseph Wiseman, so it's not Dr No.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Quantum Of Solace I think is too late.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Curt Jurgens... No, I don't think so.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11It must be The Spy Who Loved Me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It is. You have two.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Let's see if Danny can match that with this one.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Which character in the TV sitcom The Young Ones
0:05:19 > 0:05:22styled himself as the people's poet?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- I have never even heard of this.- Ah!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I wondered if your age was going to have a bearing on this one.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Erm...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'll have to go with a guess. I'm going to guess Rick.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36OK, a guess at Rick.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'll ask some of the more senior Scousers On Tour here
0:05:39 > 0:05:42who may have been around for the original transmission of the Young Ones -
0:05:42 > 0:05:43what do you think?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I know it's not Vyvyan cos he was the punk, wasn't he?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yeah. That's right. I'll put you out of your misery.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Danny did get it with a guess. It's the right answer.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Oh, Rick was it?- The people's poet.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So well done. Two-all.
0:05:57 > 0:06:04Chris, in 1998, which TV host became the honorary mayor of the East Yorkshire village of Wetwang?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11That was the much missed Richard Whiteley.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Indeed, yeah. Much missed, as well. Agreed on both counts.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's the right answer. Richard Whiteley.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And it means you need to get this one, Danny.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Which 1920s film directed by Alfred Hitchcock
0:06:24 > 0:06:27had the subtitle A Story Of The London Fog?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32A Story Of The London Fog.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Again, no idea. It's going to be a guess again.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I wouldn't... Mm.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Something's telling me it's not The Ring, so I guess I'll go with The Lodger.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You're good at this! It's the right one!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Fantastic! Three-all.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Well, if you do need to guess, Danny, it's going to get a lot harder now
0:06:53 > 0:06:57because we're not able to offer you any more options or choices.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's the sudden death phase. All square after three questions
0:07:00 > 0:07:05and that means we remove those options.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07So Chris faces his one first.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Which British sitcom, first seen in 2005,
0:07:11 > 0:07:16is known as Politiikan Nappula in Finland
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and Trist Herr Minister in Sweden?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- HE CHUCKLES - I'd better read those again for you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Which British sitcom, first seen in 2005,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31is known as Politiikan Nappula in Finland
0:07:31 > 0:07:36and Trist Herr Minister in Sweden?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Well, 2005, it's obviously political.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46So the political sitcom that started in 2005 I think was called The Thick Of It.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well dissected. Is the right answer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So you didn't need to know your Swedish or your Finnish there.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56The Thick Of It is correct. So that means you need this, Danny.
0:07:56 > 0:08:03In which French coastal city is the Gene Hackman film French Connection 2 mostly set?
0:08:03 > 0:08:10In which French coastal city is the Gene Hackman film French Connection 2 mostly set?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Again, unlucky with the questions. Absolutely no idea.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Another guess. Erm...
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Lyon.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24OK. It's not, Danny. I'll just check if Chris knows.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- It's Marseilles. - It's Marseilles.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Which means that the round's over for you, Danny.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33But you got into sudden death there and some magnificent guesses.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Informed guesses, I know, but not a place in the final round as a result.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Good quizzing by Danny but not the right outcome from his point of view.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Just lost out, which means the Eggheads are all intact
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and Scousers On Tour have lost one brain.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53So we move on to our next subject. This is Music.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Who fancies a crack at this? Music.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- I can do music.- Gary Jr. OK.- Yeah. - Who would you like go up against?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Barry or Judith.- Yeah.- Barry?- Yeah. Against Barry.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10OK, so we're going to have Gary Jr against Barry on Music
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and you know where to go - it's the question room.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16All right, Gary Jr, how are you with your music?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- What are your tastes?- I like anything probably from '80s onwards,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23so anything lower, there could be a problem.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, right, well. I can't guarantee there won't be.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Would you like the first set or the second set? - I'll take the first set, please.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35All right, here you are.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38How many individual drums are traditionally connected together
0:09:38 > 0:09:41to form the instrument known as the bongo drums?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47How many drums are traditionally connected together
0:09:47 > 0:09:50to form the instrument known as the bongo drums?
0:09:51 > 0:09:57I'm pretty sure it's two, so I'll go with two, please.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Have you ever had a go? - A little knock once.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04On the bongos. And it is two. It's the right one. Well done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Barry, in the summer of 1986, who went to number two in the UK charts
0:10:11 > 0:10:13with the single So Macho?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20In the summer of 1986, who went to number two in the UK charts
0:10:20 > 0:10:22with the single So Macho?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Oh, goodness. I don't think I listened to any music in the '80s.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So '86 is right smack bang in the middle of that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33So Macho. The name rings a bell.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's not the sort of... I don't think it's the sort of thing Sade sang.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40She sang Smooth Operator and more mellow stuff,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- so I'll go for Sinitta. - Sinitta.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Why weren't you listening to music in the '80s? What were you doing?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Too busy raising a family and working.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50All right, well, the answer is...
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Sinitta!- Oh! - It's right. You guessed it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58OK, Gary. Under what band name did Tony Thompson, Robert Palmer
0:10:58 > 0:11:02and Duran Duran members John and Andy Taylor record an album in the mid-1980s?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08That's close to your cut-off point, isn't it?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well, you'd think so, yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Erm... Duran Duran is not my strongest.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's going to have to be a guess.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm going to go Power Station.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24OK, Power Station. Total guess or an inkling?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- A gut feeling.- A good feeling. OK. So a guess.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's the right answer.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well! Well, let's hope the luck stays with the team
0:11:35 > 0:11:39and let's hope it stays with you all the way to the final round here, Gary.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Barry, your second question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Time Out Of Mind, released in 1997, is an album by which musician?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I don't think it's Paul McCartney.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Time Out Of Mind. That rings a bell.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, Bob Dylan's released about 50 albums
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and I have a vague recollection that might be one of them,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04so I shall go for Bob Dylan.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08OK, Bob Dylan is the correct answer as well.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12You're both working the questions well and using a bit of logic
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and a bit of guessing and getting the right answers.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20OK, Gary. The American-born composer Conlon Nancarrow
0:12:20 > 0:12:22is best remembered for the pieces he wrote
0:12:22 > 0:12:24for which musical instrument?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Not my cup of tea, this question.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Mm.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's going to have to be a complete guess
0:12:38 > 0:12:43but glass harp... Yeah, glass harp I'll go for.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48OK. Glass harp there for Conlon Nancarrow.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's the first one you've got wrong. It's incorrect.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Do you know, Barry?- I believe he wrote for the Theremin.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- No!- Oh!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Anyone else like to tell me?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It is the player piano.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Player piano.- Well.- There we are.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, it's not over yet for you, Gary.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Barry would need to get this correct to knock you out.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Barry, which conductor co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
0:13:14 > 0:13:17which brings together musicians from various Middle Eastern countries?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Well, I'm hoping Middle Eastern is a key
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and I know Daniel Barenboim did a lot of work
0:13:26 > 0:13:29trying to bring various different cultures together,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32so I shall go for Daniel Barenboim.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Daniel Barenboim is correct.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Oh, dear! Bad luck, Gary.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Just caught there on the last question. It means you won't be in the final round.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well, two head to heads gone and as it stands, Scousers On Tour have lost them both,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54so two brains missing from their team for the final round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57The Eggheads are all there. We've got two more head to heads coming up.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So see if you can knock an Egghead out with history.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Our next subject - History.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Who'd like to play this? Gary Senior, Bill or Tony.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Tony?- We'll have Tony on that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10OK, Tony. And from the Eggheads, who would you like to play?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Chris and Barry have gone, so you've got Pat, Judith or Kevin.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Kevin.- Kevin.- Please.- Kevin.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Kevin.- And you said that with determination
0:14:18 > 0:14:22because you know the size of the task you're taking on, don't you?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Let's go for it. Tony and Kevin into the question room.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Well, Tony, I know you have no illusions about the scale of the task,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32taking on the unbeaten Kevin in History.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Good luck, Tony. I've got your first question here.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Which of these British prime ministers took up the office first?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Which of these British prime ministers took up the office first?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57David Lloyd George.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02No hesitation. It's the right answer. I'll tell you straight away.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Do you know the date?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I would guess 1913, '14.
0:15:07 > 0:15:111916, surprisingly. It doesn't matter.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16We were simply asking for the order. Then came Churchill in 1940,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Anthony Eden in 1955.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21All right. Kevin.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24In 1961, the United Nations General Assembly resolved
0:15:24 > 0:15:28to treat which continent as a de-nuclearised zone?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34In 1961, the United Nations General Assembly resolved
0:15:34 > 0:15:38to treat which continent as a de-nuclearised zone?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Well, there were obviously nuclear missiles
0:15:42 > 0:15:47and nuclear weaponry of all sorts in both North America and Europe,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49so it must be Africa.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Indeed. That is the right answer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54OK, good start for you both. Tony, your second question.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58In which conflict were 50,000 troops captured
0:15:58 > 0:16:01in what was known as the Falaise Pocket?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That would be the Battle of the Bulge, World War II.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I would go World War II.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11OK, and you think it was the Battle of the Bulge,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15during the... Post D-day, during the Allied advance.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20It is the right answer. Well done. World War II. He knows his stuff.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26OK, Kevin. Svetlana Alliluyeva, who defected to the US in 1967,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28and there became known as Lana Peters
0:16:28 > 0:16:30was the daughter of which Soviet leader?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think she quite long-lived.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It's that very long since she died.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39She was Stalin's daughter.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yes, she was. That is correct.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Well, as we rather expected, some cracking quizzing going on
0:16:45 > 0:16:46and, Tony, third question.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Which writer hosted an annual banquet to celebrate his recovery
0:16:51 > 0:16:56from a March 1658 operation to remove a bladder stone?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I would...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I would go for Samuel Pepys.
0:17:06 > 0:17:13OK. Pepys, yeah. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19Kevin, in 323BC, Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian general under Alexander the Great,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23became ruler of which civilization?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28When Alexander the Great died, his various leading generals
0:17:28 > 0:17:31all contended for parts of the empire.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35About three or four of them wound up with different large chunks of it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Ptolemy got Egypt.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41OK, Kevin, thank you for that. It's the right answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And it's all square, I think as we rather expected.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Maybe we should have gone straight to sudden death.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51So that's served the hors d'oeuvre. Here's the main course, then.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54It's sudden death, Tony, and no more options till we sort out a winner.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00Francisco Franco was Spain's head of state until his death in which decade?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05The '70s.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08OK. Which is correct. Do you know the precise year?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Do you know the precise year, Tony? - '75?- Just out of interest.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16You've got it, yeah. I can't give you an extra point.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18'70s was all we needed. Well done.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Kevin, which Essex city now stands on the site of the Roman settlement
0:18:22 > 0:18:24of Caesaromagus?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28So that's Caesar with O-M-A-G-U-S at the end?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- Yeah. All joined up.- Yeah.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34I believe that's Chelmsford.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It is. That's correct. Chelmsford.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK, Tony, in a satirical note
0:18:41 > 0:18:45pinned to the gates of St James's Palace in 1736,
0:18:45 > 0:18:50who was declared to be "lost or strayed out of this house,
0:18:50 > 0:18:54"a man who has left a wife and six children on the parish"?
0:18:55 > 0:18:571736.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Lost out of this parish.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03No, sorry.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I would guess Charles. Charles I.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14OK. Charles I is incorrect. Kevin, do you know?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Well, I can't quite remember what this refers to
0:19:18 > 0:19:19but the king at the time was George II,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22so I would assume it refers to him.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK. Going for George II, which is correct.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29It does because he'd gone back to Hanover, being a Hanoverian,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33for an extended period of shenanigans -
0:19:33 > 0:19:35so discussions, close personal discussions with his mistress.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39OK, well, Tony didn't get it, so a chance for Kevin here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43With which 18th century king of Prussia did Voltaire maintain
0:19:43 > 0:19:46a lengthy philosophical correspondence?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well, it was one of the great so-called enlightened monarchs
0:19:49 > 0:19:53who had an interest in all matters philosophical, musical, etc.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It's Frederick the Great, who was Frederick II.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Frederick the Great.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00OK. Covering your tail, there, giving me his number as well.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Frederick II is the correct answer, Kevin.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well done. Still remaining unbeaten at history.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Good effort, Tony. Well into sudden death but it just didn't happen.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's three-nil to the Eggheads at the moment.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Scousers On Tour have lost three brains, the Eggheads are all there.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And our last head to head before that final round,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24so a crucial round this, Scousers On Tour,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28It's Arts & Books and Gary Senior or Bill must play it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Arts & Books.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- You.- Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go sacrificial lamb here
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- because we've got more chance in the final with Bill.- OK.- So...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Who do you want to play? Judith or Pat?- I'll take Judith.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Let's have Gary Senior and Judith into the question room, please.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Gary, let's hope we can get you through on this Arts & Books round.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Do you want the first set or the second set?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I think I'll go second so I can stay on just a little bit longer.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59OK, well, linger there while Judith faces the first question, then.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Judith, in which country is the Shakespeare play Titus Andronicus set?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think that might be Italy.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It just might be, yeah. That's the right answer.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15And, Gary. Oil paints traditionally consist of a colour pigment
0:21:15 > 0:21:16in what type of oil?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Well, when I think of linseed oil I think of cricket.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And when I think of crude oil I think of Dallas,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27so I'll have a go for bergamot oil.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31OK. I'm afraid it is linseed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's definitely not crude, you're right. But it is linseed oil.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37OK, well, Judith, second question.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42What is the main focus of the magazine Frieze - and it is spelt FRIEZE -
0:21:42 > 0:21:45first published in 1991?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well, there's an exhibition,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55which I think is more or less annual nowadays,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58which is to do with contemporary art,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01so I imagine it came out of that magazine.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03So contemporary art.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- You're talking about the Frieze Art Fair.- Yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I meant an art fair, not an exhibition.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Yeah, 1991, contemporary art - that's correct. Well done, Judith.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK, well, that means you need this, Gary.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22What name is given to the form of post-impressionist painting
0:22:22 > 0:22:27where bold areas of flat colour are separated by dark outlines?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Well, as you can see, erm...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'm going to have to go for tenebrism.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK. Do you get round the galleries?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You've got loads of galleries in Liverpool, haven't you?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I go to quite a few.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I've been on tours round the places and stuff like that but...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- not in as much detail as that. - This is a detailed question.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54So we have post-impressionist painting, bold areas of flat colour
0:22:54 > 0:22:56separated by dark outlines
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and it is cloisonnism, unfortunately for you,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04which means Judith has already attained the dizzy heights of two,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07which you can't match even if you face another question.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So no place for you in the final round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:23:21 > 0:23:22won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27so Gary Senior, Gary Junior, Danny and Tony from Scousers On Tour,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:30 > 0:23:34So that leaves you, Bill. You're playing to win Scousers On Tour £3,000.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:23:38 > 0:23:41the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:47 > 0:23:48and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52So, Bill, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And, Bill, are you going to go first or second?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Well, very best of luck to you, Bill. First question in the final round.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09What nationality is the former world flyweight and bantamweight boxing champion
0:24:09 > 0:24:11known as Fighting Harada?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I don't think it's Swiss.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Harada has a Japanese ring to it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29- Could you spell Harada for me, please?- Yeah. HARA-D-A.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Fighting Harada. - I'll go Japanese.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's the right answer. Well done, Bill.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37One on the board, there.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And, Eggheads, what is the usual English translation
0:24:40 > 0:24:43of the Latin phrase Fiat Lux?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- "Let there be light." - That's "Let there be light",
0:24:48 > 0:24:50as uttered, I think, in Genesis.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54OK. "Let there be light" is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56And back to Bill.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02In Greek mythology, Paean served the gods by working in what capacity for them?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06P-A-E-A-N
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Paean.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Er...
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I don't think it's a blacksmith.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Erm...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's going to have to be a guess between the other two.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I'll go navigator.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Navigator for the gods. Eggheads, is that correct?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'm not sure on this one. I'd be more inclined to physician but...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- There's a paean of praise, isn't there?- Mm.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I'd go for physician, myself.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40OK, well, two of them going for physician.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44That's the answer. It's physician, not navigator. Paean.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47All right, well, Eggheads, see how they do with their second question.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53Which former Director General of MI5 wrote the 2004 novel At Risk?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Rimington - she writes. - Manningham-Buller is also an author.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Yeah.- Has she? What was the date of this? - 2004, it said, wasn't it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Was it 2004, Dermot?
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Which former Director General of MI5 wrote the 2004 novel At Risk?
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Stella Rimington has written a whole series of novels about an MI5 agent.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- Yeah.- Er... At Risk rings a bell, I think,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23as being one of the first of those.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- How about you?- They're coming out at virtually an annual rate.
0:26:27 > 0:26:34- It could be the other one. It rings a bell, I think, Stella Rimington.- OK.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I think she'd retired before Eliza Manningham-Buller.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39We're going to go for Stella Rimington.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Stella Rimington. Some debate whether it was her or Eliza Manningham-Buller.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Eliza ManninghamBuller has written books as well.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Well, you've got the right one. It is Stella Rimington.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So you have that lead and putting the pressure on Bill.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Miles Platting is a district of which English city?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I know it's not Liverpool.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Erm...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Miles Platting.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09It sounds Mancunian.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I know a bit of Manchester but...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I don't... It doesn't ring any bells from Manchester.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm going to go Birmingham.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24OK, well, between Manchester and Birmingham. You've gone for Birmingham.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26And it's Manchester. It is Manchester.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, well done, Eggheads, you've won that.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But thank you very much, Scousers On Tour
0:27:39 > 0:27:40and well played, Bill.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Always tricky on your own against those five Eggheads in the final round.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Thank you very much indeed for coming along
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and having a lot of fun, even if it wasn't to be in terms of the ultimate outcome.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And best of luck, Gary Senior there, with those tours.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57We'll book the Eggheads in for one, shall we? See you soon.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:14And join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16£4,000 says they don't.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Until then, goodbye.
