0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 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 challenging our resident quiz champions today are Seal Of Approval
0:00:37 > 0:00:38from West Sussex.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team of friends all meet regularly to quiz
0:00:40 > 0:00:42at the Seal Inn in Selsey.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Malc, I'm 53 and I'm a production engineer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Kevin, I'm 56 and I'm a volunteer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 58 and I'm a payroll manager.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Christine, I'm 65 and I'm a retired office manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm Des. I'm 57 and I'm a driving instructor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Welcome to you, Seal of Approval.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Are you top dogs at the Seal in the quiz?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10You could say that, yeah.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And you've also won a radio quiz, I hear.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yeah, we've won a local radio quiz this year.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We won it previously two years ago.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Last year's winners, I believe, were on Eggheads as well.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25OK. How did they do? Do you know?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I believe they beat the Eggheads. DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, is that an omen?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And I see you've got a Kevin and we've got a Kevin
0:01:32 > 0:01:33and you two have met.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36You've quizzed against each other or were you the quiz master?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I was the quiz master, yes, in a pub near Brighton
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and Kevin came along with a mutual friend
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and took part in the quiz and did very well, of course.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- But they didn't actually win it - they won it on a tie-break. - DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Do you remember it, Kevin? - It was a few years ago but I have a hazy memory.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I do lots of quizzes, of course, but I do remember going there, yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56You do lots of quizzes - just a few.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00OK, it would be interesting if you two meet in the question room.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Let's play the game.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:02:08 > 0:02:09to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, Seal Of Approval, the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16which means £10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And our first head to head battle is going to be on Music.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Who would like to take this one on? Music.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I think we said you, didn't we, Malcolm? Or are we saving you for Geography?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- Yeah, I'll do Music, please. - Malc, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I think we'll play Judith, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39All right, it's going to be Malc and Judith contesting the opening round.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Could you both please go to the question room?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46So, Malc, you write a lot of quiz questions as well?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Yeah, I've been a regular quiz master for 20 years or more.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52That must mean thousands of questions.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Absolutely, yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And what about music, then? Is that a particular passion of yours?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Erm, I'm quite good on music, generally.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I know a bit of classical, a bit of...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Not so good on the modern stuff but we'll take a chance.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Indeed. OK. Do you want to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Good luck, Malc.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17What is the first name of the One Direction band member
0:03:17 > 0:03:21with the surname Payne - PAY-NE?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Right, this is the modern stuff. - Indeed, yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Er... Lenny and Larry I would suggest are
0:03:31 > 0:03:35probably not quite modern-ish names,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38so I think I'm going to have to plump for Liam, please, Dermot.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Well done. Yeah, Liam Payne is the right answer.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44As you know, Chris.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Judith, who had a UK hit in 1980 with the single 9 To 5?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I have absolutely no idea.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59First question - obvious. 9 To 5.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01It doesn't sound like Kate Bush.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I don't know. Oh!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Sheena Easton.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Yes, it is. Yes, it's Sheena Easton. - Gosh, that's lucky.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Working 9 To 5. All right, then, Malc.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19The American singer Judy Collins found fame in the 1960s with what type of music?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Erm, I believe she had a hit with Send In The Clowns.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Er, folk music.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30That's right. Well done.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And, Judith, the pop group The La's,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37who had a hit in 1990 with There She Goes,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39were formed in which city?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Well, since we're sitting in Glasgow let's credit them to Glasgow.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50OK, The La's. Glasgow, you think.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's incorrect.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Can any Egghead tell me? - Liverpool.- It's Liverpool.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59That means, well, a great opportunity, Malc, here
0:04:59 > 0:05:02to go into the final round with a correct answer.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07The Scottish singer Elizabeth Fraser is best-known as the vocalist for which alternative rock group?
0:05:12 > 0:05:18I'm thinking the Sugarcubes was the original band that Bjork was in
0:05:18 > 0:05:20and I haven't heard of Dead Can Dance.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22There's a fair chance it could be the Cocteau Twins.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26A fair chance it's the Cocteau Twins.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Well, it's a dead certainty that you're going into the final round.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That is correct. Well done, Malc.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You've booked your place playing for £10,000 today.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Judith won't be there. Would you both please join your teams?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Well, lots of approval for that performance from Malc.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It means they haven't lost any brains yet from the final round.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The Eggheads have lost one.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And our second head to head comes up as Science.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Who'd like to play this one?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- The game plan was Des. - Des, wasn't it?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Des will be playing Science, please. - All right, then, Des.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03And which Egghead would you like to choose? It can't be Judith. Any of the others.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Barry?- Barry?- If you wish. Yeah?- Yeah.- Barry, please.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12All right, it's going to be Des and Barry heading for the question room, please.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Well, Des, which set of questions would you like to face, the first or the second?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26And here you go, then, Des.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30What technical name is given to the apparent rapid changes
0:06:30 > 0:06:32in the brightness, colour or position of stars
0:06:32 > 0:06:36due to conditions in the lower atmosphere?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43What technical name is given to the apparent rapid changes
0:06:43 > 0:06:46in the brightness, colour or position of stars
0:06:46 > 0:06:49due to conditions in the lower atmosphere?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Well, I can't say that that answer springs to mind immediately
0:06:58 > 0:07:02but substantiation doesn't really sound like it fits the bill.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Sequestration, not sure about that,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10but scintillation sounds exciting, so I will choose scintillation.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13And it's the right answer. Well done.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Your team-mates are getting very excited. Scintillation.
0:07:16 > 0:07:25OK, Barry. What stimulus is a primary cause for the human body to secrete the hormone gastrin?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31What stimulus is a primary cause
0:07:31 > 0:07:34for the human body to secrete the hormone gastrin?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Gastrin sounds like gastro, gastro relates to the stomach,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40so I shall go for food in the stomach.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And that is the right answer, Barry.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Des, what was the name of the first American satellite to orbit the earth,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49launched on 31st January 1958?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well, this is one that I probably should know straight away
0:07:56 > 0:07:59but again I'm not positive
0:07:59 > 0:08:01but I think I'll select Apollo 1.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07OK, Apollo 1. It's incorrect, Des. No, not Apollo.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's too early for the Apollos, isn't it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Barry, do you know of the other two? - Yes, it was Explorer 1.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Explorer 1.- I believe it was a weather satellite.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21OK. Well, a chance for a lead, then, Barry.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Folic acid is part of which vitamin group?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Er, vitamin A has only one member in its group, vitamin A, obviously,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33and the same for vitamin D.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But vitamin B has a whole range of different members
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and I just think, folic acid, if I'm not mistaken,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I think it might be vitamin B9, but it's vitamin B.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45It is. That is the right answer.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47So you have that lead and Des needs this.
0:08:47 > 0:08:55Des, in geology, what is compacted to make the substance known as firn - F-IRN?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- And that's spelt F-I...?- FIRN.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Soil... No.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Er, my guess on this one, and it would be a pure guess,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13would be that it would be sand.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK. You're going for sand. Firn.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's not. No, that is incorrect. Barry, do you know?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think you find firn in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- I think it's compacted snow. - It is. It's snow,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29which means Barry doesn't need to face another question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Des, you're not going to be in the final round. Barry's there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well, that's levelled it up.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Both Seal Of Approval and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44And our next subject, it's Politics.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Who from Seal Of Approval wants to play this? Politics.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Shall I do that one?- Yeah. - I'm not very good but...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53But you'll take it. Chris will be doing Politics.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54I'll be the sacrificial lamb.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57So you can choose from Kevin, Pat or Chris.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I'll take Chris, then, please. - It's the two Chrisses, then.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Christine and Chris, into the question room, please.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Christine, I thought you were the literature expert - there's an Arts and Books round, potentially.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15- Yes, I would have liked that. - OK, but you don't know whether it's going to come up.- That's right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27What phrase did George Osborne famously use
0:10:27 > 0:10:30at the 2009 Conservative Party conference
0:10:30 > 0:10:33when proposing a public sector pay freeze?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Erm, I don't know. I've heard them all.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I'm going to guess at, "We're all in this together."
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Yes, the more modern one of those famous phrases
0:10:49 > 0:10:50from different prime ministers.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53"We're all in this together." Correct.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Different prime ministers for the first two and a chancellor for the third.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02And, Chris, which European politician is nicknamed Il Cavaliere?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Well, I don't think a flamboyant name like that would apply to Gordon Brown,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11or Vladimir Putin, come to that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's Silvio Berlusconi.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Silvio Berlusconi is correct.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I won't comment on that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22All square. Good start, Christine. Second question.
0:11:22 > 0:11:287 Race Course Road is the official residence of the prime minister of which country?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, I've never heard that.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Erm...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm going to guess at Japan.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43All right. Japan.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46The Japanese prime minister in number 7 Race Course Road.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's not. Chris, do you know?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yes, 7 Race Course Road, New Delhi. It's India.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yes, it's India. Is there actually a race course still there?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Probably, actually.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01There's been surprisingly little erasure of the relics of the Raj in India.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05All right, and your second question. A chance for the lead, Chris.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10What name is given to the process via which Parliament grants the government's requests for resources?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Well, it's not subpoena procedure because that's a legal term.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23And I don't think it's support procedure.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24It must be supply procedure.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Supply. That is the correct answer.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29And Christine needing this one, then.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Christine, which former Israeli prime minister became
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the country's defence minister in 2007?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Erm, I think that was Benjamin Netanyahu.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46The middle one!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Benjamin Netanyahu.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51No, it's not. Chris?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- It's Ehud Barak, isn't it? - It's Ehud Barak, yes.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Which means that round is over.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I think almost exactly the same pattern as Des's outing.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03No place for you in the final round, Christine.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Well, the Eggheads took an early knock but have fought back
0:13:10 > 0:13:14and now Seal Of Approval have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16What will the balance be in the final round?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well, this last head to head will decide
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and it's Sport and you've got Kevin or Sue available to play.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Sport.- I'll do that one.- OK, Sue.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And who would you like to play? Kevin or Pat from the Eggheads?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Erm, Pat.- All right.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Let's have Sue and Pat into the question room now, please.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Sue, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46OK, Sport, and our first question, Sue.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Which of these tennis players was prevented from taking part in the 2012 Olympic Games
0:13:52 > 0:13:53by a knee injury?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Well, tennis is something that I really am interested in
0:14:02 > 0:14:07and Rafa Nadal has had knee problems for ages
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- and I think it's Rafa Nadal. - It is Rafa Nadal. Well done.
0:14:10 > 0:14:18And, Pat, in 2007 the twins Fabio and Rafael da Silva were signed up
0:14:18 > 0:14:19to which Premier League football club?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think... They're from Brazil, I think,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and I think they both joined Manchester United.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That is the correct answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And, Sue, second question.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Which American became the first athlete to leap further than 8m in the long jump?
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Well, Bob Beamon held that record for a long time
0:14:47 > 0:14:52but I've got a feeling that Carl Lewis did beat it,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54so I'm going to go with Carl Lewis.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56OK.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58We weren't asking for the furthest.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- We were asking for the first athlete to leap further than 8m.- Oh, sorry.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- And it's Jesse Owens. - Oh, right, I was completely wrong.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Way back when. All right.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Second question to Pat.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13In which city in Florida are the headquarters of NASCAR?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Well, I think its sort of spiritual homeland
0:15:19 > 0:15:22is in the north of South Carolina.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But they have obviously put their headquarters in Florida.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I'm not entirely sure but the name there which has big motorsport links
0:15:34 > 0:15:38is Daytona Beach, so I think I'll have to go with Daytona Beach.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Daytona Beach for the headquarters of NASCAR. It's the right answer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44OK, well, you need this, Sue.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Who was the first man to win two Olympic marathon gold medals back to back?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, I'm not sure, so it will have to be a guess.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And I'm going to go with Frank Shorter.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK, Frank Shorter.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Two Olympic marathon gold medals back to back.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- What do you think, Pat? - I think it's Bikila.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Rome and Tokyo. - It is Abebe Bikila.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- So, bad luck, Sue. - It's history repeating itself.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15The last three rounds have been like this.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17No place in the final round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Right, well, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30But those of you lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33so Sue, Christine and Des from Seal Of Approval
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and Judith from the Eggheads
0:16:35 > 0:16:37would you leave the studio now, please?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Malc and Kevin, you're playing to win Seal Of Approval £10,000.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48the Eggheads' reputation.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54The questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58So, Seal Of Approval, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And, Malc and Kevin, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05We'll stick with our plan of going first, please, Dermot.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11OK, the first question is this.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14The device used to record data during the operation of an aircraft
0:17:14 > 0:17:17is commonly referred to as what?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I think we're on safe ground here.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's named after Dr Black or a Mr Black.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It's actually orange in colour but it is the black box.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31OK, the black box is correct. Yes, well done.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36And, Eggheads, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991,
0:17:36 > 0:17:41which country took up the USSR seat on the United Nations Security Council?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Must be Russia.- Russia, yeah. - Russia, yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Well, Russia was, of course, always the dominant power
0:17:50 > 0:17:53in the Soviet Union, so it has to be Russia.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It is correct, yes.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I think we've eased both teams into this final round
0:17:58 > 0:18:00with that pair of questions.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I would suspect they're going to get harder than that as we go on.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Seal Of Approval, second question.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Prior to becoming Archbishop of Canterbury,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Rowan Williams had been archbishop of where?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Rowan. Well, Rowan's a very Welsh name, isn't it?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yeah. Williams is, also.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yes. Yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I don't think it was York. Wasn't that David Sheppard?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Probably not Armagh, being Irish.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Shall we go with that, then? - We'll go with that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Well, we don't know but we think, as it's a Welsh name, it was Wales.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36That's our answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Your answer is Wales and it's a correct answer. Well done.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Eggheads, the Tom Waits song Way Down In The Hole
0:18:43 > 0:18:46was used as the theme tune for which American TV series?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50There were five series
0:18:50 > 0:18:55and for each series a different artist covered the song. The Wire.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- We can eliminate Frasier.- And it certainly wasn't Ugly Betty, either.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- So it's The Wire.- The Wire, yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It's The Wire.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It is The Wire. Well done, Eggheads.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Two-two. And back to Seal Of Approval.
0:19:09 > 0:19:16Tales Of The Grotesque And Arabesque is the title of a 19th century collection of short stories
0:19:16 > 0:19:17by which writer?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Grotesque And Arabesque.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Well, it doesn't sound like Mark Twain, does it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Who wrote about the Mississippi and...- Time could be wrong, as well.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- No?- No.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- Erm...- Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his horror stories.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37That's right, yeah, yeah.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43Washington Irving wrote some very, almost nursery rhyme, fantasy fiction.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Grotesque and Arabesque, it's... Take out Mark Twain.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51So between Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe. What do you think?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well, playing the percentages...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Didn't he write a lot of his stuff after he got absolutely drunk
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and badly hung over and then wrote his stories from what he dreamt about?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I remember reading that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- So on that basis, we'll go for Edgar Allan Poe, yeah?- Yeah.- All right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08So that's our answer then, Dermot.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12We're not sure. We think it could be Edgar Allan Poe.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14OK. Edgar Allan Poe.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- It's the right answer.- Yes!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21OK, well, the Eggheads need to get this or you've won the money.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Eggheads, which war of the 19th century was known as Auckland's folly?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Mm. Well, I don't...
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Well, a Carlist war... I mean, Auckland as in A-U-C-K...?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43AUCKLAND-'S. Auckland's Folly.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, the Carlist Wars were in Spain, so...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- It's unlikely to be that.- I can't see... I can't see how that... Mm.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Anglo-Zulu was Chelmsford, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I don't associate Auckland with the Zulu wars.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- That name doesn't ring a bell at all.- We're looking at the Anglo-Afghan War.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm trying to think...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Hang on, wasn't Auckland... - Ah, he was...- ..Viceroy of India?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Well, Governor-General.- Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- He was Governor-General. - Governor-General, yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- So it must be the Anglo-Afghan. - 1842?- Yeah, yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19OK. Yeah, OK. I think we've got there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Auckland was at the time, we think, the Governor-General of India
0:21:23 > 0:21:28and the 1st Anglo-Afghan War involved us basically trying to place
0:21:28 > 0:21:30somebody pliable on the Afghan throne,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33so that we could control affairs in that area
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and it led to complete and utter disaster.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So you can imagine it's the 1st Anglo-Afghan War.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43OK and the utter disaster with the folly, there - I see.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It is the right answer and a full one from you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47The 1st Anglo-Afghan War.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It's all square. We go to Sudden Death
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and Sudden Death, as we haven't played it in the head to heads,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54just to reiterate the rules,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56it's quite simple, we remove the options.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58We've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01And Seal Of Approval, you've done fantastically up to now
0:22:01 > 0:22:03with those first three.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Your next question.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09In which US national park is the complex of hot springs
0:22:09 > 0:22:12known as Mammoth Hot Springs located?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15In which US national park is the complex of hot springs
0:22:15 > 0:22:19known as Mammoth Hot Springs located?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Right, Yellowstone is Old Glory, isn't it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24There's a lot of hot springs in Yellowstone.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Mm.- That's just my thought.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32It's not Yosemite. That's in California, isn't it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Obviously that is near the tectonic plate
0:22:36 > 0:22:37but er...
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Just on the basis of Old Glory in Yellowstone.- Yeah, OK.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- We'll have to go with that.- Yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Right, we don't know, Dermot, but we think it may be Yellowstone Park.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK. Yellowstone is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Eggheads, in which magazine was a column called Nooks and Corners
0:22:59 > 0:23:01once written by John Betjeman?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04In which magazine was a column called Nooks and Corners
0:23:04 > 0:23:06once written by John Betjeman?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Private Eye.- Mm? Yeah? It was Private Eye. Yeah?
0:23:08 > 0:23:15- Yeah?- Mm.- OK?- Drawing attention to architectural follies...- Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- ..and civic corruption and stuff. - Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Well, we think it was a column that he had, as Chris said,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26drawing attention to various things that he had a particular interest in,
0:23:26 > 0:23:31architecture and various... Well, how do we call them?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Things going wrong in government terms.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35In Private Eye.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- So your answer's?- Private Eye.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's correct, Eggheads, yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40On we go. Another pair of questions.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Are you guys enjoying this?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45You like a good quiz and you've certainly got one here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49OK. Good luck and another Sudden Death question.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Britain's V-bomber force that came into service in the 1950s
0:23:54 > 0:23:59consisted of the Valiant, the Victor and which other aircraft?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Britain's V-bomber force that came into service in the 1950s
0:24:02 > 0:24:05consisted of the Valiant, the Victor and which other aircraft?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- And the Vulcan.- Yeah. The Vulcan. - And a Mr Spock - the Vulcan.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16And, Eggheads, in his famous diary, Samuel Pepys mentions
0:24:16 > 0:24:20that his wife is making which drink, that - this is the quote -
0:24:20 > 0:24:26"Mr Pelling the potecarie tells her is good for her cold and defluxions"?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29In his famous diary, Samuel Pepys mentions
0:24:29 > 0:24:30that his wife is making which drink,
0:24:30 > 0:24:37that, "Mr Pelling the potecarie tells her is good for her cold and defluxions"?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- It's about the time tea started to come in.- It is, yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44That's what I was thinking. Coffee was a bit earlier, wasn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Yeah.- So we're looking at 1660s, aren't we?- Mm.- Yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Coffee must've been a bit earlier. - Mm.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Tea came over with Henry...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Tea came over with... Was it Catherine of Braganza who brought tea over?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So the time would be right for that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well, if it's his diary, it would be the 1660s, so...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I'm sure Catharine of Braganza brought tea over,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- was the first person to introduce tea.- It was a great novelty.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- "Good for her cold and fluxions." - Defluxions. The word is defluxions.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14D-E-FLU-X-I-O-N-S
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Well, we don't know. - I'm happy with that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Can you think of anything else?- Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24We don't know but it's around the time that tea came in -
0:25:24 > 0:25:27a bit later than coffee - so we'll try tea.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Tea is the correct answer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32OK and on we go. Another pair of questions.
0:25:32 > 0:25:39And Seal Of Approval, to which name did St Petersburg's Kirov Theatre revert in 1991?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Right, so this is after the dissolution of the USSR in 1991,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45so it went back to the original name,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50so Kirov was the Soviet name.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- St Petersburg was Petrograd, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Kirov Ballet...
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Erm...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Because what they did, they took any religion out of names, didn't they?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03That was the whole point of...
0:26:03 > 0:26:07So it could have been Saint something?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Nothing to do with Catherine the Great, was it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12It could've been. Shall we try that?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17No, sorry, Dermot, we're keeping you waiting.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Again, we don't know. We'll...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25We know that it went back to its original name after the dissolution of the Soviet Union
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and so it would probably be a name like Karel or...
0:26:28 > 0:26:33But you reckon it might... Catherine. St Catherine.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Yeah.- We don't know. St Catherine's. That's a pure guess.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40OK. St Catherine's is not the right answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Do the Eggheads know? - It's the Mariinsky.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46It's the Mariinsky Theatre. The Mariinsky Theatre.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Previously the Kirov.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, Eggheads, the term spat - S-P-A-T -
0:26:51 > 0:26:55the term spat, meaning a cloth or leather gaiter
0:26:55 > 0:26:59worn to cover the shoe and ankle, is an abbreviation of which word?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Spatterdash. - Spatterdash.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yes, it must be, mustn't it, because of mud coming up.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Yes. Are you happy with that?- Yeah. - Spatterdash. OK?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Yeah, because spats were a form of protection against the splashing of mud
0:27:15 > 0:27:20and that sort of thing, we think it was originally a word, "spatterdash".
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Spatterdash...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24..is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well, that really set alight the quiz, that final round, didn't it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Well played, guys. You took the Eggheads right to the edge.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43You nearly used up my whole pile of questions. Fantastic quizzing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Bad luck about the money
0:27:44 > 0:27:48but I think you've had a good day's quizzing today, haven't you?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- That's the important thing. - That is the important thing.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53So nice to see you all. Seal Of Approval, there.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06And so, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10And join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14£11,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
