0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. And taking on the awesome might of our quiz
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Goliaths today are The Kommitments from Nottinghamshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team of friends are all associated with a tribute band
0:00:40 > 0:00:44to the '90s musical film The Commitments. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Sean. I'm 44 and I'm the lead singer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm David, aged 64. I'm the guitarist.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Claire. I'm 39 and I'm a singer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Dave. I'm 43 and I'm the bass guitarist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Jonathan. I'm 44 and I play the tenor saxophone.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Welcome to you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You are Kommitments with a K as opposed to the film with a C.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10How soon after the film did you get together?
0:01:10 > 0:01:16We were formed, Dermot, in 2003.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The film aired in 1992, or first aired in 1992,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- so nine years after, I suppose. - Yes, so quite a while after.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Have you all seen it? Are you are all fans of it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Oh, massive fans.- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah, we know it...
0:01:29 > 0:01:33We know the script word-for-word, I suppose, and the songs, of course.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Do you stick to the songs from The Commitments?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It's effectively soul, isn't it? Or have you broadened the repertoire?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Well, we have. We do most of the songs from the film
0:01:41 > 0:01:47but most of the songs from the film were old soul classics anyway,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50but to make a good, full evening's entertainment we've added
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- other songs in that genre as well, so...- Yeah?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I've got to ask you - you don't fight like the band, do you?
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Er...- In the original? - Sometimes we do, yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03THEY LAUGH
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Well, you're united here, with one goal, to get THEM fighting,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and beat them. OK, Kommitments, best of luck.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:12 > 0:02:13for our Challengers.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So, Kommitments, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- which means £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.- Ooh!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25# Go, Mommy! Go, Daddy! #
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- That'd be quite a gig, wouldn't it?- Maybe.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Let's have our first head-to-head battle, then.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Sports has come up first.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Who'd like to play this? Sport.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34SEAN GROANS
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Lead from the front! - Head office.- Is it you, Sean?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well, I'm afraid I've been designated for Sport, Dermot,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- so that will be me. - OK, Sean, and pick an Egghead.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Any one of those you like. - Oh, crikey. Er...
0:02:46 > 0:02:51I'd love to take on Daphne, because I love her to death,
0:02:51 > 0:02:56but I think she's quite cute on Sport, more than she lets on, so...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I think I'm going to take on the gorgeous Judith, please.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, well, spoilt for choice there, aren't you, really?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's Judith, then, taking on Sean on Sport,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and it means you both need to go to the Question Room, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, Sean, you've sung with Bryan Adams, I hear.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19Yes, I... Fortunately, back in 1995, I was in the crowd at a gig of his
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and was invited on stage to do a song,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26made plenty enough noise to get me up on stage, and, yes,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I was invited up, and we sang Summer Of '69 together.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I bet he was impressed about how good you were.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Er, well, I'd like to think so.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- I think he quietly was impressed, yes.- OK, Sean.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Impress us with your sporting knowledge.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Oh, I think I'll take the first set of questions, please.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49All right, Sean. Here you go.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54In 2007, the footballer Luis Suarez made his full international
0:03:54 > 0:03:55debut for which national team?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03In 2007, the footballer Luis Suarez made his full international
0:04:03 > 0:04:05debut for which national team?
0:04:05 > 0:04:12I think I can definitely rule out Italy. I know it's not that.
0:04:12 > 0:04:19I'm not 100% sure whether it's Mexico or Uruguay.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Oh, good grief. I think I'm going to have a stab...
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- I think it's Uruguay, but I'm going to have a stab at Mexico.- OK.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35You said, "I think it's Uruguay but I'll have a stab at Mexico."
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- It IS Uruguay.- Oh!
0:04:37 > 0:04:38He's Uruguayan.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Judith, your question.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44In snooker, what term is used to refer
0:04:44 > 0:04:47to the placing of a coloured ball back in its original position?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52In snooker, what term is used to refer
0:04:52 > 0:04:56to the placing of a coloured ball back in its original position?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well, I think it must be re-spotting.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yep, that's the right answer.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03OK,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Sean, what is the nickname of world champion boxer Mikkel Kessler?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16What is the nickname of the world champion boxer Mikkel Kessler?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20His name is spelt M-I-K-K-E-L
0:05:20 > 0:05:26K-E-S-S-L-E-R. Mikkel Kessler.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Mm, I have to confess...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I do not know.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So how can I do this?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Er...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Saxon Slugger.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Er...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Sounds appropriate.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Er, so I think I'm going to go straight down the middle -
0:05:49 > 0:05:54because I'm not sure, if I'm honest - and say Saxon Slugger.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59OK, Saxon Slugger for world champion Mikkel Kessler.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Um... It's not. Do you know, Judith, any chance?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, I'll try the Teuton Soldier.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08No. No, no, no. Viking Warrior.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09THEY LAUGH
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It doesn't sound Danish. It ought to be...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- That first name, K-K-E-L? - Is that Danish?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, I thought that might be a bit of a clue.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, certainly Nordic Scandinavian spelling.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, your question, Judith, and here you go.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29What time did Donald Lippincott record in 1912 to become
0:06:29 > 0:06:33the first official IAAF 100m world record-holder?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42What time did Donald Lippincott record in 1912 to become
0:06:42 > 0:06:46the first official IAAF 100m world record-holder?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I wish I knew what the record was now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Er...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I don't know whether it's under ten seconds.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- I'm going to try 10.6.- OK.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You don't know what the 100m world record is?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Well, do you?- It's well under ten seconds.- Oh, it is?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Yes, but is it nine point something?- Yeah.- Hmm.- Anyway,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11the answer's 10.6. It's well done.
0:07:11 > 0:07:132-0 to you, and you're through.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15No place for you, Sean, in the Final Round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Well, early days, but The Kommitments have now lost one brain
0:07:20 > 0:07:21from the Final Round.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The Eggheads are all there. Only played one round.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So straight on to our second one. This is Film & Television.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Who'd like to take this one on from The Kommitments?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It's going to be you, Claire!- I think that's going to be me, Dermot.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36OK, then, Claire. And choose your Egghead.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I think I'll go with the man in red so we both match.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I'll go with Chris, please. - Ah, yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I'm not going to do a Chris de Burgh, no.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- THEY LAUGH - OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Let's have Claire and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, Claire, you're in the band with your dad, David, here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56What's that like?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, I've always gigged with my dad, from being 16.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03We've always been in bands together, so it is kind of just normal for us.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06People think it's a bit unusual but it's just normal for us.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08He's more like my friend than my dad. It's nice.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Do you keep an eye on each other? Do you say, "Oh, you missed a note,"
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and he says, "Oh, you were singing too high"?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16He wouldn't dare say that to me. THEY LAUGH
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Keep him in his place.- Exactly. - All right, Claire.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Choose - do you want to go first, or second?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK, it's Film & TV. This is your first question, then.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30In which year was the TV panel show
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Have I Got News For You first broadcast?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38In which year was the TV panel show
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Have I Got News For You first broadcast?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Right, OK, well, I do know the programme.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I used to watch it a few years ago. I haven't watched it recently.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Um...
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I think 1980 might be a little bit too early.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Um...
0:08:56 > 0:08:582000 may be a bit too late,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01so I'm just going to go straight down the middle and say 1990.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Seems about right. It is right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04THEY CHEER
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Chris, which sport featured in the 2001 film comedy
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Mike Bassett: England Manager?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Which sport featured in the 2001 film comedy
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Mike Bassett: England Manager?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23That was Ricky Tomlinson as Mike Bassett. He was a football manager.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Football.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yes, he was.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29So one to you. And back to Claire.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Which Jackie is portrayed by Emily Watson in the 1998 film
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Hilary And Jackie?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Which Jackie is portrayed by Emily Watson in the 1998 film
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Hilary And Jackie?- OK, I'm not sure on this one, Dermot.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I've not seen the film. Um...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I'm drawn towards Jacqueline Kennedy,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57just because I know the name a bit more than the other two,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01so I'm going to go for Jacqueline Kennedy, please.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04OK, Jacqueline Kennedy for Hilary And Jackie.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06No, it's not.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's not, Claire. Chris, do you have...?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Yes, a rather tragic tale of Jacqueline du Pre, the cellist.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- OK, and who's the Hilary in it?- Her sister, wasn't it?- Oh, I see, OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It is, yes, Jacqueline du Pre - the answer we were looking for.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Didn't get that from Claire. Here is your second question, Chris.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Which film was advertised with the tag line,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29"Streisand and Redford together"?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Which film was advertised with the tag line,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38"Streisand and Redford together"?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Streisand and Redford were together in The Way We Were.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45That's the answer - The Way We Were.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46You're sure about that, aren't you?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It just came to you. It's The Way We Were. It's the right answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Yes, well done, Chris. The Way We Were.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55OK, well, you need this, Claire.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Which Canadian actress starred in Michael Crichton's
0:10:58 > 0:11:011978 thriller film, Coma?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Which Canadian actress starred in Michael Crichton's
0:11:10 > 0:11:111978 thriller film, Coma?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Right, unfortunately, I've got no idea on this one.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's going to have to be a complete guess, I'm afraid.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25So I'm just looking to see which name sounds more Canadian to me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So, um...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31For no other reason than I like the name, I'm going to go for
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Deborah Kara Unger, please.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- OK, because you like the name!- Yeah. - Deborah Kara Unger.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm not sure you'll continue liking it. It's not right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It is... Do you know, Chris?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Surely it's Genevieve Bujold?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Yeah, Genevieve Bujold is in Coma,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50which means we end the round there
0:11:50 > 0:11:54again. Sorry, Claire - no place for you in the Final Round.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Not getting the luck at the moment, Kommitments.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Two brains gone from the Final Round. Eggheads all there.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Let's play our third head-to-head then,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07and see if this one suits you a bit better. It's Politics.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10David, Dave or Jonathan to play Politics?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'm going to hide.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- It's going to be me.- OK, Dave.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18And choose from the Eggheads. Chris and Judith have gone,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21so you have Pat, Barry or Daphne.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Who do you think?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I think they're all pretty good on Politics.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- I think we'll go with Daphne.- Yeah. - We'll take Daphne, please.- Why not?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30All right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Let's have Dave and Daphne into the Question Room, please.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- So, Dave, you're a guitarist, right? - Bass guitarist, yes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39OK, bass guitarist.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43And I forgot to ask you - is this a full-time job with The Kommitments,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44or is it only as and when?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Well, the band's pretty busy but I do have a normal job during the day.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Some of the guys do this full-time.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55OK, and is it true you could read music before you could read words?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59That's correct. I had a big sister a couple of years older.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00When she started primary school,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03started playing instruments as you do, and I was jealous,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- so my mum taught me to read music when I was three.- Fantastic.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We have a child prodigy here.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13OK, Dave, do you want to go first or second in this Politics round?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14I think I'll go first.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Good luck. First question.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22What is the first name of the politician who's sometimes
0:13:22 > 0:13:24known by his initials, IDS?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29What's the first name of the politician who's sometimes
0:13:29 > 0:13:31known by his initials, IDS?
0:13:32 > 0:13:38Well, I know this one. His name is Iain Duncan Smith. So it's Iain.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It is, and thank you for filling in the D and the S.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Former leader of the Conservative Party, of course. Iain Duncan Smith.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50And, Daphne, which US politician on a July 2012 trip to London
0:13:50 > 0:13:54ruffled feathers by questioning the country's readiness
0:13:54 > 0:13:56for hosting the Olympic Games?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Which US politician on a July 2012 trip to London ruffled feathers by
0:14:03 > 0:14:06questioning the country's readiness for hosting the Olympic Games?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09We proved him wrong, didn't we?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Mitt Romney.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Mitt Romney is the man in question, yes. Well done.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And back to you, Dave.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19What voting system is used to elect regional members
0:14:19 > 0:14:22to the National Assembly for Wales?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30What voting system is used to elect regional members
0:14:30 > 0:14:33to the National Assembly for Wales?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm not too sure on this one,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40but with all the recent
0:14:40 > 0:14:44discussion about the voting systems,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47for some reason single transferable vote is
0:14:47 > 0:14:50sticking in my mind alongside proportional representation.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54So I'm going to go with single transferable vote.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58OK, shows just how many variations there are within that,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00you mentioned PR, proportional representation.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Single transferable vote in Wales, you think.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- What about you, Daphne, do you think it's that?- I've no idea.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Oh, you've no idea? OK. - No, I'd probably have gone
0:15:12 > 0:15:13for party list system.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18That's interesting because it's additional member system.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So neither of you would have been right, but it was your question,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Dave, so you're the one who ends up with the X.- Thank you.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Sorry about that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Let's see what Daphne does with her second question.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33In 2012, which politician spearheaded a scheme that planned to
0:15:33 > 0:15:37send a copy of the King James Bible to every school in the country,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41each containing a personal inscription from him?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48In 2012, which politician spearheaded a scheme that planned to
0:15:48 > 0:15:51send a copy of the King James Bible to every school in the country,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55each containing a personal inscription from him?
0:15:55 > 0:16:01Well, seeing as Michael Gove is responsible for education,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I hope it's him.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Michael Gove, Education Secretary at the time.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11It is the right answer, yes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm sure they hold those words very dearly!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Erm, so it means you have a lead, and once again,
0:16:19 > 0:16:24one of The Kommitments has to get this. And it's Dave.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27"Boy genius," just talking about you as the boy genius,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30"boy genius" was the nickname George W Bush gave
0:16:30 > 0:16:33to which member of his presidential staff?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40"Boy genius" was the nickname George W Bush gave
0:16:40 > 0:16:43to which member of his presidential staff?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I really have no idea, American politics is not my thing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Erm, the most American-sounding name there is possibly
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Scott McClellan, er, Paul Wolfowitz...
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I'll go with Scott McClellan, my first instinct.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03OK, Scott McClellan as the member of his presidential staff,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06although the guy in question I think became the most
0:17:06 > 0:17:11powerful of his presidential staff and it was Karl Rove.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Karl Rove, which means again, we close the round down fairly early
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and no place for you in the Final Round, Dave.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Would you all please come back and join your teams?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well, Kommitments, you're getting close
0:17:24 > 0:17:27to one of you playing solo in the Final Round.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28You don't want that.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So as it stands you've lost three brains from the Final Round.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35The Eggheads are all there, and this is the last chance to get
0:17:35 > 0:17:38an Egghead out of the game, and it's Geography.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And we have David or Jonathan awaiting this.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Jonathan?- Jonathan? - I'm going to go for it, I think.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Good man, Jonathan, and choose either Pat or Barry.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Any thoughts?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Pat.- He's the lesser of the two evils, really.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The lesser of the two evils, then, I'll have a crack at Pat.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59In that terminology, they're actually both pretty evil
0:17:59 > 0:18:00when it comes to quizzing.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It's going to be Jonathan and Pat, then, playing Geography.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Into the question room, please.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Jonathan, choose a set for me. First or second?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Well, we've not had too much luck with the first set of questions
0:18:13 > 0:18:15so far, so I'll go with the second set.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And that means Pat is starting.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Pat, which US state is nicknamed "the Last Frontier?"
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Which US state is nicknamed "the Last Frontier?"
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Rhode Island was one of the very earliest to be settled.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Erm, New Mexico... I think Alaska, the vast, Arctic wastes
0:18:39 > 0:18:43of Alaska are called the New Frontier, the Last Frontier, sorry.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So it's Alaska.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Alaska. It is the right answer.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Jonathan, first question.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Which capital city was
0:18:52 > 0:18:58founded by the British in 1899 at the 317th mile point
0:18:58 > 0:19:03on the railway between the Port of Mombasa and Lake Victoria in Uganda?
0:19:06 > 0:19:12Which capital city was founded by the British in 1899,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15at the 317th mile point on the railway between
0:19:15 > 0:19:19the Port of Mombasa and Lake Victoria in Uganda?
0:19:19 > 0:19:25Unfortunately, my African geography's not that strong.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'm going to guess Nairobi.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Guessing Nairobi...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and you've got it! Yes. Now, that's important.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39It does rather hamstring you if you don't get that first one,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41especially when the Egghead's already got one.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And Pat, second question.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village on the coastline
0:19:46 > 0:19:48of which English county?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village on the coastline
0:19:53 > 0:19:55of which English county?
0:19:55 > 0:20:00I know it's up on the northern, north-eastern coast of England,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02so I'll discount Norfolk immediately.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I think it's in North Yorkshire, I think
0:20:04 > 0:20:07it's sufficiently north to clear Lincolnshire, so North Yorkshire.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09North Yorkshire...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11is correct, well done, Pat.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And your second question, Jonathan.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18The Sakha, S-A-K-H-A,
0:20:18 > 0:20:24also known as the Yakut, Y-A-K-U-T,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28are one of the major peoples of which part of the world?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33The Sakha, also known as the Yakut,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36are one of the major peoples of which part of the world?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40It's not sounding like a South American name,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45so I'm going to discount the Amazon Basin.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Erm...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Between Indonesia and Eastern Siberia...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57..I'm going to hazard a guess at Eastern Siberia.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Well done, it's the right answer.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Pat, third question.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Karl Johans Gate is the main street of which European capital?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Karl Johans Gate is the main street of which European capital?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I don't know very much about Central Warsaw.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I would have thought Unter den Linden
0:21:18 > 0:21:20is the primary street in Berlin.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25Or Kurfurstendamm. I think Karl Johans Gate is in Oslo.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It is, that's correct, Pat.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So, very important question here, Jonathan, to stay in the game
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and take us into Sudden Death.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Which tributary flows into the Ganges near the city of Allahabad?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Which tributary flows into the Ganges near the city of Allahabad?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Rivers aren't my strong point at all,
0:21:48 > 0:21:54so this is a complete stab in the dark.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yamuna.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57It's the right answer.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58ALL: Ye-e-eah!
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Lovely stuff, Jonathan. Lovely, lovely. OK, back to Pat.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09We're into Sudden Death and just to underline it for you, Jonathan,
0:22:09 > 0:22:14we aren't able to offer you any more choices until we sort out a winner.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Pat, Ballsbridge, Drumcondra
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and Sandymount are suburbs of which European capital?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Ballsbridge, Drumcondra
0:22:22 > 0:22:26and Sandymount are suburbs of which European capital?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Erm, they all lie to the south of the River Liffey in Dublin.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Fell very nicely for you, didn't it?- Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- What can I say?- No denying that. Would have fallen nicely for The Kommitments,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40that's where it's set as well! You would have known that, wouldn't you?
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Definitely. Ballsbridge, Drumcondra and Sandymount in Dublin.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50So Jonathan, in which county is the town of Market Harborough?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53In which county is the town of Market Harborough?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Well, it's on the train route from Nottingham into London.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04But I'm not completely sure.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Going to hazard a guess at Hertfordshire.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, Hertfordshire.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It's not!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14No, no, the other guys know on the team.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- D'you want to tell me? - ALL: Leicestershire.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19It's Leicestershire for Market Harborough,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21which means you got into Sudden Death
0:23:21 > 0:23:24but you're not getting into the Final Round. You're there, Pat.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29So this is what we've been playing towards,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32it's time for the Final Round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:35 > 0:23:37won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Sean, Claire, Dave
0:23:37 > 0:23:42and Jonathan from The Kommitments, would you leave the studio please?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So David, you're playing to win The Kommitments £9,000.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53you're playing for something money can't buy, it's your reputation.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and you're allowed to confer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01So David, the question is,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- David, would you like to go first or second?- First, I think.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Let's hope it's a good one for you.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17"Gat" is an American slang term for what type of weapon?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26G-A-T. "Gat is an American slang term for what type of weapon?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I'm not really familiar with the term.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I don't think it's a sword.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Erm...
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I've heard of a Gatling gun,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but unless it's a nickname for that I don't think it's a gun.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I think it could possibly be a hand grenade so that will be my answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46OK, hand grenade for a gat.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Having heard of the Gatling gun, you've passed over that,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54and gone for the hand grenade, and it is a gun.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57OK, well, Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Members of which profession
0:24:59 > 0:25:02are sometimes humorously referred to as "luvvies"?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Members of which profession
0:25:06 > 0:25:09are sometimes humorously referred to as "luvvies"?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Well, I think it's acting.- Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14We are, actually, darling, yes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We have an ex-Egghead who is now a member of this profession.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19The answer is acting.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21You two are as well!
0:25:21 > 0:25:22In the past, maybe.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Chris, you've trodden the boards. - I've done a bit in my time, yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I've seen your Larry Olivier.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Seen you wearing your smoking jacket and cravat.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It is acting, it's the right answer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40OK, right, we need to get you on the board here, David.
0:25:40 > 0:25:46Injun Joe is a character in which 1876 American novel?
0:25:51 > 0:25:57Injun Joe is a character in which 1876 American novel?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Erm, well, it's not The Great Gatsby
0:25:59 > 0:26:03because that was written later than 1876, I believe.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I don't think it's Anne of Green Gables,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09so I'm pretty sure it's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yes, indeed. That's much better.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15You have one there, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is correct.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19So, Eggheads. Someone with LLD after their name is a doctor of what?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Someone with LLD after their name is a doctor of what?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Law.- Law?- Law.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Yes, LLD is a doctor of law.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That's right, Eggheads.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, you must get this, David.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Which group... Ah, music, good, here we are.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Which group had a UK hit single in 1958 with Yakety Yak?
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Which group had a UK hit single in 1958 with Yakety Yak?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57OK, well, at last we've got a music question,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this one.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03It's not The Drifters, it's not The Cadillacs, it's The Coasters.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It is, yes, well done. Couldn't get that wrong, could you?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well done, The Coasters.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10OK, well, you are not coasting any more,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13you are actually really motoring, but just started so slowly with that
0:27:13 > 0:27:16first one, giving the Eggheads an opportunity here,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18but if you survive this we go into Sudden Death.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22So Eggheads, what name is given to the group of rocky islets
0:27:22 > 0:27:26situated just over a mile west of Land's End?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33What name is given to the group of rocky islets situated
0:27:33 > 0:27:36just over a mile west of Land's End?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Longships?- Longships.- There's a lighthouse there, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I believe there is a quite well-known lighthouse
0:27:44 > 0:27:48on these islands, and I think it's the Longships.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50It's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Well, I said there, David, just before they faced that question,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01that you were really going strongly there
0:28:01 > 0:28:04but just couldn't recover from that very first question stumble.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07But thank you very much to you and all your Kommitments there
0:28:07 > 0:28:10for coming along and entertaining us here today.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Next time, bring your instruments.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We'll book you for the Christmas party.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Don't think the Eggheads could afford you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Good to see you, Kommitments, and best of luck with the music.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and their winning streak continues.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £9,000.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:34 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
