These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:240:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:31

They are the Eggheads. And taking on the awesome might of our quiz

0:00:310:00:34

Goliaths today are The Kommitments from Nottinghamshire.

0:00:340:00:37

Now, this team of friends are all associated with a tribute band

0:00:370:00:40

to the '90s musical film The Commitments. Let's meet them.

0:00:400:00:44

Hi, I'm Sean. I'm 44 and I'm the lead singer.

0:00:440:00:48

Hi, I'm David, aged 64. I'm the guitarist.

0:00:480:00:52

Hi, I'm Claire. I'm 39 and I'm a singer.

0:00:520:00:55

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm 43 and I'm the bass guitarist.

0:00:550:00:59

Hello, I'm Jonathan. I'm 44 and I play the tenor saxophone.

0:00:590:01:04

Welcome to you.

0:01:040:01:05

You are Kommitments with a K as opposed to the film with a C.

0:01:050:01:08

How soon after the film did you get together?

0:01:080:01:10

We were formed, Dermot, in 2003.

0:01:100:01:16

The film aired in 1992, or first aired in 1992,

0:01:160:01:20

-so nine years after, I suppose.

-Yes, so quite a while after.

0:01:200:01:24

Have you all seen it? Are you are all fans of it?

0:01:240:01:26

-Oh, massive fans.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, we know it...

0:01:260:01:29

We know the script word-for-word, I suppose, and the songs, of course.

0:01:290:01:33

Do you stick to the songs from The Commitments?

0:01:330:01:35

It's effectively soul, isn't it? Or have you broadened the repertoire?

0:01:350:01:38

Well, we have. We do most of the songs from the film

0:01:380:01:41

but most of the songs from the film were old soul classics anyway,

0:01:410:01:47

but to make a good, full evening's entertainment we've added

0:01:470:01:50

-other songs in that genre as well, so...

-Yeah?

0:01:500:01:53

Yes.

0:01:530:01:54

I've got to ask you - you don't fight like the band, do you?

0:01:540:01:57

-Er...

-In the original?

-Sometimes we do, yeah.

0:01:570:02:02

THEY LAUGH

0:02:020:02:03

Well, you're united here, with one goal, to get THEM fighting,

0:02:030:02:07

and beat them. OK, Kommitments, best of luck.

0:02:070:02:09

Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:02:090:02:12

for our Challengers.

0:02:120:02:13

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:130:02:15

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:150:02:17

So, Kommitments, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,

0:02:170:02:20

-which means £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

-Ooh!

0:02:200:02:23

# Go, Mommy! Go, Daddy! #

0:02:230:02:25

-That'd be quite a gig, wouldn't it?

-Maybe.

0:02:250:02:28

Let's have our first head-to-head battle, then.

0:02:280:02:30

Sports has come up first.

0:02:300:02:31

Who'd like to play this? Sport.

0:02:310:02:32

SEAN GROANS

0:02:320:02:34

-Lead from the front!

-Head office.

-Is it you, Sean?

0:02:340:02:37

Well, I'm afraid I've been designated for Sport, Dermot,

0:02:370:02:41

-so that will be me.

-OK, Sean, and pick an Egghead.

0:02:410:02:43

-Any one of those you like.

-Oh, crikey. Er...

0:02:430:02:46

I'd love to take on Daphne, because I love her to death,

0:02:460:02:51

but I think she's quite cute on Sport, more than she lets on, so...

0:02:510:02:56

I think I'm going to take on the gorgeous Judith, please.

0:02:560:03:00

OK, well, spoilt for choice there, aren't you, really?

0:03:000:03:03

It's Judith, then, taking on Sean on Sport,

0:03:030:03:06

and it means you both need to go to the Question Room, please.

0:03:060:03:09

So, Sean, you've sung with Bryan Adams, I hear.

0:03:100:03:13

Yes, I... Fortunately, back in 1995, I was in the crowd at a gig of his

0:03:130:03:19

and was invited on stage to do a song,

0:03:190:03:22

made plenty enough noise to get me up on stage, and, yes,

0:03:220:03:26

I was invited up, and we sang Summer Of '69 together.

0:03:260:03:30

I bet he was impressed about how good you were.

0:03:300:03:32

Er, well, I'd like to think so.

0:03:320:03:34

-I think he quietly was impressed, yes.

-OK, Sean.

0:03:340:03:37

Impress us with your sporting knowledge.

0:03:370:03:39

Would you like to go first or second?

0:03:390:03:41

Oh, I think I'll take the first set of questions, please.

0:03:410:03:45

All right, Sean. Here you go.

0:03:480:03:49

In 2007, the footballer Luis Suarez made his full international

0:03:490:03:54

debut for which national team?

0:03:540:03:55

In 2007, the footballer Luis Suarez made his full international

0:03:580:04:03

debut for which national team?

0:04:030:04:05

I think I can definitely rule out Italy. I know it's not that.

0:04:050:04:12

I'm not 100% sure whether it's Mexico or Uruguay.

0:04:120:04:19

Oh, good grief. I think I'm going to have a stab...

0:04:190:04:25

-I think it's Uruguay, but I'm going to have a stab at Mexico.

-OK.

0:04:270:04:32

You said, "I think it's Uruguay but I'll have a stab at Mexico."

0:04:320:04:35

-It IS Uruguay.

-Oh!

0:04:350:04:37

He's Uruguayan.

0:04:370:04:38

Judith, your question.

0:04:400:04:42

In snooker, what term is used to refer

0:04:420:04:44

to the placing of a coloured ball back in its original position?

0:04:440:04:47

In snooker, what term is used to refer

0:04:500:04:52

to the placing of a coloured ball back in its original position?

0:04:520:04:56

Well, I think it must be re-spotting.

0:04:560:04:58

Yep, that's the right answer.

0:04:590:05:01

OK,

0:05:020:05:03

Sean, what is the nickname of world champion boxer Mikkel Kessler?

0:05:030:05:08

What is the nickname of the world champion boxer Mikkel Kessler?

0:05:120:05:16

His name is spelt M-I-K-K-E-L

0:05:160:05:20

K-E-S-S-L-E-R. Mikkel Kessler.

0:05:200:05:26

Mm, I have to confess...

0:05:260:05:30

I do not know.

0:05:300:05:34

So how can I do this?

0:05:340:05:37

Er...

0:05:370:05:38

Saxon Slugger.

0:05:390:05:41

Er...

0:05:410:05:43

Sounds appropriate.

0:05:430:05:45

Er, so I think I'm going to go straight down the middle -

0:05:460:05:49

because I'm not sure, if I'm honest - and say Saxon Slugger.

0:05:490:05:54

OK, Saxon Slugger for world champion Mikkel Kessler.

0:05:540:05:59

Um... It's not. Do you know, Judith, any chance?

0:05:590:06:03

Well, I'll try the Teuton Soldier.

0:06:030:06:06

No. No, no, no. Viking Warrior.

0:06:060:06:08

THEY LAUGH

0:06:080:06:09

It doesn't sound Danish. It ought to be...

0:06:090:06:12

-That first name, K-K-E-L?

-Is that Danish?

0:06:120:06:15

Yeah, I thought that might be a bit of a clue.

0:06:150:06:17

Well, certainly Nordic Scandinavian spelling.

0:06:170:06:20

OK, your question, Judith, and here you go.

0:06:210:06:24

What time did Donald Lippincott record in 1912 to become

0:06:240:06:29

the first official IAAF 100m world record-holder?

0:06:290:06:33

What time did Donald Lippincott record in 1912 to become

0:06:380:06:42

the first official IAAF 100m world record-holder?

0:06:420:06:46

I wish I knew what the record was now.

0:06:470:06:49

Er...

0:06:510:06:53

I don't know whether it's under ten seconds.

0:06:530:06:55

-I'm going to try 10.6.

-OK.

0:06:570:07:00

You don't know what the 100m world record is?

0:07:000:07:03

-Well, do you?

-It's well under ten seconds.

-Oh, it is?

0:07:030:07:06

-Yes, but is it nine point something?

-Yeah.

-Hmm.

-Anyway,

0:07:060:07:08

the answer's 10.6. It's well done.

0:07:080:07:11

2-0 to you, and you're through.

0:07:110:07:13

No place for you, Sean, in the Final Round.

0:07:130:07:15

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:07:150:07:17

Well, early days, but The Kommitments have now lost one brain

0:07:170:07:20

from the Final Round.

0:07:200:07:21

The Eggheads are all there. Only played one round.

0:07:210:07:23

So straight on to our second one. This is Film & Television.

0:07:230:07:27

Who'd like to take this one on from The Kommitments?

0:07:270:07:30

-It's going to be you, Claire!

-I think that's going to be me, Dermot.

0:07:300:07:33

OK, then, Claire. And choose your Egghead.

0:07:330:07:36

I think I'll go with the man in red so we both match.

0:07:370:07:40

-I'll go with Chris, please.

-Ah, yes.

0:07:400:07:43

I'm not going to do a Chris de Burgh, no.

0:07:430:07:45

-THEY LAUGH

-OK.

0:07:450:07:48

Let's have Claire and Chris into the Question Room, please.

0:07:480:07:51

So, Claire, you're in the band with your dad, David, here.

0:07:520:07:55

What's that like?

0:07:550:07:56

Well, I've always gigged with my dad, from being 16.

0:07:560:07:59

We've always been in bands together, so it is kind of just normal for us.

0:07:590:08:03

People think it's a bit unusual but it's just normal for us.

0:08:030:08:06

He's more like my friend than my dad. It's nice.

0:08:060:08:08

Do you keep an eye on each other? Do you say, "Oh, you missed a note,"

0:08:080:08:11

and he says, "Oh, you were singing too high"?

0:08:110:08:13

He wouldn't dare say that to me. THEY LAUGH

0:08:130:08:16

-Keep him in his place.

-Exactly.

-All right, Claire.

0:08:160:08:19

Choose - do you want to go first, or second?

0:08:190:08:21

I'll go first, Dermot, please.

0:08:210:08:23

OK, it's Film & TV. This is your first question, then.

0:08:260:08:28

In which year was the TV panel show

0:08:280:08:30

Have I Got News For You first broadcast?

0:08:300:08:33

In which year was the TV panel show

0:08:360:08:38

Have I Got News For You first broadcast?

0:08:380:08:41

Right, OK, well, I do know the programme.

0:08:410:08:44

I used to watch it a few years ago. I haven't watched it recently.

0:08:440:08:48

Um...

0:08:480:08:50

I think 1980 might be a little bit too early.

0:08:500:08:54

Um...

0:08:540:08:55

2000 may be a bit too late,

0:08:560:08:58

so I'm just going to go straight down the middle and say 1990.

0:08:580:09:01

Seems about right. It is right.

0:09:010:09:03

THEY CHEER

0:09:030:09:04

Chris, which sport featured in the 2001 film comedy

0:09:060:09:11

Mike Bassett: England Manager?

0:09:110:09:13

Which sport featured in the 2001 film comedy

0:09:150:09:18

Mike Bassett: England Manager?

0:09:180:09:20

That was Ricky Tomlinson as Mike Bassett. He was a football manager.

0:09:200:09:23

Football.

0:09:230:09:24

Yes, he was.

0:09:240:09:26

So one to you. And back to Claire.

0:09:260:09:29

Which Jackie is portrayed by Emily Watson in the 1998 film

0:09:290:09:34

Hilary And Jackie?

0:09:340:09:36

Which Jackie is portrayed by Emily Watson in the 1998 film

0:09:400:09:44

-Hilary And Jackie?

-OK, I'm not sure on this one, Dermot.

0:09:440:09:48

I've not seen the film. Um...

0:09:480:09:50

I'm drawn towards Jacqueline Kennedy,

0:09:500:09:54

just because I know the name a bit more than the other two,

0:09:540:09:57

so I'm going to go for Jacqueline Kennedy, please.

0:09:570:10:01

OK, Jacqueline Kennedy for Hilary And Jackie.

0:10:010:10:04

No, it's not.

0:10:040:10:06

It's not, Claire. Chris, do you have...?

0:10:060:10:08

Yes, a rather tragic tale of Jacqueline du Pre, the cellist.

0:10:080:10:12

-OK, and who's the Hilary in it?

-Her sister, wasn't it?

-Oh, I see, OK.

0:10:120:10:18

It is, yes, Jacqueline du Pre - the answer we were looking for.

0:10:180:10:21

Didn't get that from Claire. Here is your second question, Chris.

0:10:210:10:24

Which film was advertised with the tag line,

0:10:240:10:27

"Streisand and Redford together"?

0:10:270:10:29

Which film was advertised with the tag line,

0:10:320:10:35

"Streisand and Redford together"?

0:10:350:10:38

Streisand and Redford were together in The Way We Were.

0:10:380:10:42

That's the answer - The Way We Were.

0:10:420:10:45

You're sure about that, aren't you?

0:10:450:10:46

It just came to you. It's The Way We Were. It's the right answer.

0:10:460:10:49

Yes, well done, Chris. The Way We Were.

0:10:490:10:52

OK, well, you need this, Claire.

0:10:520:10:55

Which Canadian actress starred in Michael Crichton's

0:10:550:10:58

1978 thriller film, Coma?

0:10:580:11:01

Which Canadian actress starred in Michael Crichton's

0:11:060:11:10

1978 thriller film, Coma?

0:11:100:11:11

Right, unfortunately, I've got no idea on this one.

0:11:130:11:18

It's going to have to be a complete guess, I'm afraid.

0:11:180:11:20

So I'm just looking to see which name sounds more Canadian to me.

0:11:200:11:25

So, um...

0:11:250:11:28

For no other reason than I like the name, I'm going to go for

0:11:280:11:31

Deborah Kara Unger, please.

0:11:310:11:34

-OK, because you like the name!

-Yeah.

-Deborah Kara Unger.

0:11:340:11:37

I'm not sure you'll continue liking it. It's not right.

0:11:370:11:39

It is... Do you know, Chris?

0:11:390:11:42

Surely it's Genevieve Bujold?

0:11:420:11:45

Yeah, Genevieve Bujold is in Coma,

0:11:450:11:48

which means we end the round there

0:11:480:11:50

again. Sorry, Claire - no place for you in the Final Round.

0:11:500:11:54

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:540:11:58

Not getting the luck at the moment, Kommitments.

0:11:580:12:00

Two brains gone from the Final Round. Eggheads all there.

0:12:000:12:02

Let's play our third head-to-head then,

0:12:020:12:04

and see if this one suits you a bit better. It's Politics.

0:12:040:12:07

David, Dave or Jonathan to play Politics?

0:12:070:12:10

I'm going to hide.

0:12:100:12:12

-It's going to be me.

-OK, Dave.

0:12:120:12:15

And choose from the Eggheads. Chris and Judith have gone,

0:12:150:12:18

so you have Pat, Barry or Daphne.

0:12:180:12:21

Who do you think?

0:12:210:12:23

I think they're all pretty good on Politics.

0:12:230:12:26

-I think we'll go with Daphne.

-Yeah.

-We'll take Daphne, please.

-Why not?

0:12:260:12:29

All right.

0:12:290:12:30

Let's have Dave and Daphne into the Question Room, please.

0:12:300:12:34

-So, Dave, you're a guitarist, right?

-Bass guitarist, yes.

0:12:350:12:38

OK, bass guitarist.

0:12:380:12:39

And I forgot to ask you - is this a full-time job with The Kommitments,

0:12:390:12:43

or is it only as and when?

0:12:430:12:44

Well, the band's pretty busy but I do have a normal job during the day.

0:12:440:12:48

Some of the guys do this full-time.

0:12:480:12:50

OK, and is it true you could read music before you could read words?

0:12:500:12:55

That's correct. I had a big sister a couple of years older.

0:12:550:12:59

When she started primary school,

0:12:590:13:00

started playing instruments as you do, and I was jealous,

0:13:000:13:03

-so my mum taught me to read music when I was three.

-Fantastic.

0:13:030:13:06

We have a child prodigy here.

0:13:060:13:09

OK, Dave, do you want to go first or second in this Politics round?

0:13:090:13:13

I think I'll go first.

0:13:130:13:14

Good luck. First question.

0:13:170:13:19

What is the first name of the politician who's sometimes

0:13:190:13:22

known by his initials, IDS?

0:13:220:13:24

What's the first name of the politician who's sometimes

0:13:260:13:29

known by his initials, IDS?

0:13:290:13:31

Well, I know this one. His name is Iain Duncan Smith. So it's Iain.

0:13:320:13:38

It is, and thank you for filling in the D and the S.

0:13:380:13:41

Former leader of the Conservative Party, of course. Iain Duncan Smith.

0:13:410:13:45

And, Daphne, which US politician on a July 2012 trip to London

0:13:450:13:50

ruffled feathers by questioning the country's readiness

0:13:500:13:54

for hosting the Olympic Games?

0:13:540:13:56

Which US politician on a July 2012 trip to London ruffled feathers by

0:13:580:14:03

questioning the country's readiness for hosting the Olympic Games?

0:14:030:14:06

We proved him wrong, didn't we?

0:14:060:14:09

Mitt Romney.

0:14:090:14:11

Mitt Romney is the man in question, yes. Well done.

0:14:110:14:13

And back to you, Dave.

0:14:130:14:16

What voting system is used to elect regional members

0:14:160:14:19

to the National Assembly for Wales?

0:14:190:14:22

What voting system is used to elect regional members

0:14:270:14:30

to the National Assembly for Wales?

0:14:300:14:33

I'm not too sure on this one,

0:14:330:14:36

but with all the recent

0:14:360:14:40

discussion about the voting systems,

0:14:400:14:44

for some reason single transferable vote is

0:14:440:14:47

sticking in my mind alongside proportional representation.

0:14:470:14:50

So I'm going to go with single transferable vote.

0:14:500:14:54

OK, shows just how many variations there are within that,

0:14:540:14:58

you mentioned PR, proportional representation.

0:14:580:15:00

Single transferable vote in Wales, you think.

0:15:000:15:03

-What about you, Daphne, do you think it's that?

-I've no idea.

0:15:030:15:08

-Oh, you've no idea? OK.

-No, I'd probably have gone

0:15:080:15:12

for party list system.

0:15:120:15:13

That's interesting because it's additional member system.

0:15:130:15:18

So neither of you would have been right, but it was your question,

0:15:180:15:21

-Dave, so you're the one who ends up with the X.

-Thank you.

0:15:210:15:25

Sorry about that.

0:15:250:15:27

Let's see what Daphne does with her second question.

0:15:270:15:30

In 2012, which politician spearheaded a scheme that planned to

0:15:300:15:33

send a copy of the King James Bible to every school in the country,

0:15:330:15:37

each containing a personal inscription from him?

0:15:370:15:41

In 2012, which politician spearheaded a scheme that planned to

0:15:440:15:48

send a copy of the King James Bible to every school in the country,

0:15:480:15:51

each containing a personal inscription from him?

0:15:510:15:55

Well, seeing as Michael Gove is responsible for education,

0:15:550:16:01

I hope it's him.

0:16:010:16:04

Michael Gove, Education Secretary at the time.

0:16:040:16:07

It is the right answer, yes.

0:16:080:16:11

I'm sure they hold those words very dearly!

0:16:120:16:15

Erm, so it means you have a lead, and once again,

0:16:150:16:19

one of The Kommitments has to get this. And it's Dave.

0:16:190:16:24

"Boy genius," just talking about you as the boy genius,

0:16:240:16:27

"boy genius" was the nickname George W Bush gave

0:16:270:16:30

to which member of his presidential staff?

0:16:300:16:33

"Boy genius" was the nickname George W Bush gave

0:16:370:16:40

to which member of his presidential staff?

0:16:400:16:43

I really have no idea, American politics is not my thing.

0:16:430:16:47

Erm, the most American-sounding name there is possibly

0:16:490:16:52

Scott McClellan, er, Paul Wolfowitz...

0:16:520:16:56

I'll go with Scott McClellan, my first instinct.

0:16:570:16:59

OK, Scott McClellan as the member of his presidential staff,

0:16:590:17:03

although the guy in question I think became the most

0:17:030:17:06

powerful of his presidential staff and it was Karl Rove.

0:17:060:17:11

Karl Rove, which means again, we close the round down fairly early

0:17:110:17:14

and no place for you in the Final Round, Dave.

0:17:140:17:17

Would you all please come back and join your teams?

0:17:170:17:20

Well, Kommitments, you're getting close

0:17:210:17:24

to one of you playing solo in the Final Round.

0:17:240:17:27

You don't want that.

0:17:270:17:28

So as it stands you've lost three brains from the Final Round.

0:17:280:17:31

The Eggheads are all there, and this is the last chance to get

0:17:310:17:35

an Egghead out of the game, and it's Geography.

0:17:350:17:38

And we have David or Jonathan awaiting this.

0:17:380:17:41

-Jonathan?

-Jonathan?

-I'm going to go for it, I think.

0:17:410:17:44

Good man, Jonathan, and choose either Pat or Barry.

0:17:440:17:48

Any thoughts?

0:17:480:17:50

-Pat.

-He's the lesser of the two evils, really.

0:17:500:17:53

The lesser of the two evils, then, I'll have a crack at Pat.

0:17:530:17:56

In that terminology, they're actually both pretty evil

0:17:560:17:59

when it comes to quizzing.

0:17:590:18:00

It's going to be Jonathan and Pat, then, playing Geography.

0:18:000:18:03

Into the question room, please.

0:18:030:18:06

Jonathan, choose a set for me. First or second?

0:18:060:18:09

Well, we've not had too much luck with the first set of questions

0:18:090:18:13

so far, so I'll go with the second set.

0:18:130:18:15

And that means Pat is starting.

0:18:190:18:21

Pat, which US state is nicknamed "the Last Frontier?"

0:18:210:18:25

Which US state is nicknamed "the Last Frontier?"

0:18:280:18:31

Rhode Island was one of the very earliest to be settled.

0:18:310:18:34

Erm, New Mexico... I think Alaska, the vast, Arctic wastes

0:18:340:18:39

of Alaska are called the New Frontier, the Last Frontier, sorry.

0:18:390:18:43

So it's Alaska.

0:18:430:18:45

Alaska. It is the right answer.

0:18:450:18:48

Jonathan, first question.

0:18:480:18:50

Which capital city was

0:18:500:18:52

founded by the British in 1899 at the 317th mile point

0:18:520:18:58

on the railway between the Port of Mombasa and Lake Victoria in Uganda?

0:18:580:19:03

Which capital city was founded by the British in 1899,

0:19:060:19:12

at the 317th mile point on the railway between

0:19:120:19:15

the Port of Mombasa and Lake Victoria in Uganda?

0:19:150:19:19

Unfortunately, my African geography's not that strong.

0:19:190:19:25

I'm going to guess Nairobi.

0:19:260:19:29

Guessing Nairobi...

0:19:290:19:31

and you've got it! Yes. Now, that's important.

0:19:310:19:34

It does rather hamstring you if you don't get that first one,

0:19:350:19:39

especially when the Egghead's already got one.

0:19:390:19:41

And Pat, second question.

0:19:410:19:43

Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village on the coastline

0:19:430:19:46

of which English county?

0:19:460:19:48

Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village on the coastline

0:19:500:19:53

of which English county?

0:19:530:19:55

I know it's up on the northern, north-eastern coast of England,

0:19:550:20:00

so I'll discount Norfolk immediately.

0:20:000:20:02

I think it's in North Yorkshire, I think

0:20:020:20:04

it's sufficiently north to clear Lincolnshire, so North Yorkshire.

0:20:040:20:07

North Yorkshire...

0:20:070:20:09

is correct, well done, Pat.

0:20:090:20:11

And your second question, Jonathan.

0:20:130:20:15

The Sakha, S-A-K-H-A,

0:20:150:20:18

also known as the Yakut, Y-A-K-U-T,

0:20:180:20:24

are one of the major peoples of which part of the world?

0:20:240:20:28

The Sakha, also known as the Yakut,

0:20:300:20:33

are one of the major peoples of which part of the world?

0:20:330:20:36

It's not sounding like a South American name,

0:20:360:20:40

so I'm going to discount the Amazon Basin.

0:20:400:20:45

Erm...

0:20:470:20:48

Between Indonesia and Eastern Siberia...

0:20:490:20:52

..I'm going to hazard a guess at Eastern Siberia.

0:20:540:20:57

Well done, it's the right answer.

0:20:570:20:59

Pat, third question.

0:21:000:21:02

Karl Johans Gate is the main street of which European capital?

0:21:020:21:06

Karl Johans Gate is the main street of which European capital?

0:21:080:21:12

I don't know very much about Central Warsaw.

0:21:130:21:16

I would have thought Unter den Linden

0:21:160:21:18

is the primary street in Berlin.

0:21:180:21:20

Or Kurfurstendamm. I think Karl Johans Gate is in Oslo.

0:21:200:21:25

It is, that's correct, Pat.

0:21:250:21:27

So, very important question here, Jonathan, to stay in the game

0:21:270:21:30

and take us into Sudden Death.

0:21:300:21:32

Which tributary flows into the Ganges near the city of Allahabad?

0:21:320:21:37

Which tributary flows into the Ganges near the city of Allahabad?

0:21:410:21:45

Rivers aren't my strong point at all,

0:21:460:21:48

so this is a complete stab in the dark.

0:21:480:21:54

Yamuna.

0:21:540:21:56

It's the right answer.

0:21:560:21:57

ALL: Ye-e-eah!

0:21:570:21:58

Lovely stuff, Jonathan. Lovely, lovely. OK, back to Pat.

0:22:010:22:06

We're into Sudden Death and just to underline it for you, Jonathan,

0:22:060:22:09

we aren't able to offer you any more choices until we sort out a winner.

0:22:090:22:14

Pat, Ballsbridge, Drumcondra

0:22:140:22:17

and Sandymount are suburbs of which European capital?

0:22:170:22:20

Ballsbridge, Drumcondra

0:22:200:22:22

and Sandymount are suburbs of which European capital?

0:22:220:22:26

Erm, they all lie to the south of the River Liffey in Dublin.

0:22:260:22:30

-Fell very nicely for you, didn't it?

-Yes.

0:22:300:22:34

-What can I say?

-No denying that. Would have fallen nicely for The Kommitments,

0:22:340:22:37

that's where it's set as well! You would have known that, wouldn't you?

0:22:370:22:40

Definitely. Ballsbridge, Drumcondra and Sandymount in Dublin.

0:22:400:22:45

So Jonathan, in which county is the town of Market Harborough?

0:22:470:22:50

In which county is the town of Market Harborough?

0:22:500:22:53

Well, it's on the train route from Nottingham into London.

0:22:540:22:59

But I'm not completely sure.

0:23:000:23:04

Going to hazard a guess at Hertfordshire.

0:23:040:23:07

OK, Hertfordshire.

0:23:070:23:09

It's not!

0:23:090:23:11

No, no, the other guys know on the team.

0:23:110:23:14

-D'you want to tell me?

-ALL: Leicestershire.

0:23:140:23:16

It's Leicestershire for Market Harborough,

0:23:160:23:19

which means you got into Sudden Death

0:23:190:23:21

but you're not getting into the Final Round. You're there, Pat.

0:23:210:23:24

Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:23:240:23:26

So this is what we've been playing towards,

0:23:270:23:29

it's time for the Final Round, which as always is General Knowledge.

0:23:290:23:32

I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:320:23:35

won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Sean, Claire, Dave

0:23:350:23:37

and Jonathan from The Kommitments, would you leave the studio please?

0:23:370:23:42

So David, you're playing to win The Kommitments £9,000.

0:23:430:23:46

Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith,

0:23:460:23:49

you're playing for something money can't buy, it's your reputation.

0:23:490:23:53

And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:530:23:56

This time, the questions are all General Knowledge

0:23:560:23:58

and you're allowed to confer.

0:23:580:24:00

So David, the question is,

0:24:000:24:01

is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:24:010:24:04

-David, would you like to go first or second?

-First, I think.

0:24:040:24:07

Let's hope it's a good one for you.

0:24:100:24:13

"Gat" is an American slang term for what type of weapon?

0:24:130:24:17

G-A-T. "Gat is an American slang term for what type of weapon?

0:24:210:24:26

I'm not really familiar with the term.

0:24:270:24:31

I don't think it's a sword.

0:24:310:24:33

Erm...

0:24:330:24:35

I've heard of a Gatling gun,

0:24:370:24:38

but unless it's a nickname for that I don't think it's a gun.

0:24:380:24:41

I think it could possibly be a hand grenade so that will be my answer.

0:24:410:24:44

OK, hand grenade for a gat.

0:24:440:24:46

Having heard of the Gatling gun, you've passed over that,

0:24:460:24:50

and gone for the hand grenade, and it is a gun.

0:24:500:24:54

OK, well, Eggheads, your first question.

0:24:540:24:57

Members of which profession

0:24:570:24:59

are sometimes humorously referred to as "luvvies"?

0:24:590:25:02

Members of which profession

0:25:050:25:06

are sometimes humorously referred to as "luvvies"?

0:25:060:25:09

-Well, I think it's acting.

-Yeah.

0:25:090:25:12

We are, actually, darling, yes.

0:25:120:25:14

We have an ex-Egghead who is now a member of this profession.

0:25:140:25:17

The answer is acting.

0:25:170:25:19

You two are as well!

0:25:190:25:21

In the past, maybe.

0:25:210:25:22

-Chris, you've trodden the boards.

-I've done a bit in my time, yeah.

0:25:220:25:26

I've seen your Larry Olivier.

0:25:260:25:28

Seen you wearing your smoking jacket and cravat.

0:25:290:25:32

It is acting, it's the right answer.

0:25:330:25:36

OK, right, we need to get you on the board here, David.

0:25:360:25:40

Injun Joe is a character in which 1876 American novel?

0:25:400:25:46

Injun Joe is a character in which 1876 American novel?

0:25:510:25:57

Erm, well, it's not The Great Gatsby

0:25:570:25:59

because that was written later than 1876, I believe.

0:25:590:26:03

I don't think it's Anne of Green Gables,

0:26:030:26:05

so I'm pretty sure it's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

0:26:050:26:09

Yes, indeed. That's much better.

0:26:090:26:11

You have one there, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is correct.

0:26:110:26:15

So, Eggheads. Someone with LLD after their name is a doctor of what?

0:26:150:26:19

Someone with LLD after their name is a doctor of what?

0:26:230:26:27

-Law.

-Law?

-Law.

0:26:270:26:29

Yes, LLD is a doctor of law.

0:26:290:26:33

That's right, Eggheads.

0:26:330:26:35

OK, you must get this, David.

0:26:350:26:39

Which group... Ah, music, good, here we are.

0:26:390:26:42

Which group had a UK hit single in 1958 with Yakety Yak?

0:26:420:26:46

Which group had a UK hit single in 1958 with Yakety Yak?

0:26:490:26:54

OK, well, at last we've got a music question,

0:26:540:26:57

and I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this one.

0:26:570:26:59

It's not The Drifters, it's not The Cadillacs, it's The Coasters.

0:26:590:27:03

It is, yes, well done. Couldn't get that wrong, could you?

0:27:030:27:05

Well done, The Coasters.

0:27:050:27:08

OK, well, you are not coasting any more,

0:27:080:27:10

you are actually really motoring, but just started so slowly with that

0:27:100:27:13

first one, giving the Eggheads an opportunity here,

0:27:130:27:16

but if you survive this we go into Sudden Death.

0:27:160:27:18

So Eggheads, what name is given to the group of rocky islets

0:27:180:27:22

situated just over a mile west of Land's End?

0:27:220:27:26

What name is given to the group of rocky islets situated

0:27:290:27:33

just over a mile west of Land's End?

0:27:330:27:36

-Longships?

-Longships.

-There's a lighthouse there, isn't there?

-Yeah.

0:27:360:27:39

-Happy with that?

-Yeah.

0:27:390:27:41

I believe there is a quite well-known lighthouse

0:27:410:27:44

on these islands, and I think it's the Longships.

0:27:440:27:48

It's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:480:27:50

Well, I said there, David, just before they faced that question,

0:27:550:27:59

that you were really going strongly there

0:27:590:28:01

but just couldn't recover from that very first question stumble.

0:28:010:28:04

But thank you very much to you and all your Kommitments there

0:28:040:28:07

for coming along and entertaining us here today.

0:28:070:28:10

Next time, bring your instruments.

0:28:100:28:12

We'll book you for the Christmas party.

0:28:120:28:14

Don't think the Eggheads could afford you.

0:28:140:28:16

Good to see you, Kommitments, and best of luck with the music.

0:28:160:28:19

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:190:28:21

and their winning streak continues.

0:28:210:28:23

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £9,000.

0:28:230:28:25

That means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:250:28:28

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:280:28:31

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:310:28:34

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:340:28:36

£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
