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