0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Bright Sparks from Leeds.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of colleagues all work for the same energy firm
0:00:39 > 0:00:43apart from Eoin who's been drafted in by team captain, Guy.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Guy. I'm 34 and I'm a customer service advisor.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Eoin. I'm 33 and I'm a college lecturer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Louise. I'm 29 and I'm a customer experience advisor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Jim. I'm 44 and I'm a customer service advisor.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 26 and I'm a technical support advisor.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Bright Sparks.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09So quizzing, Guy, have you done much in the past?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Not a huge amount.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We've been to a couple of work pub quizzes in the past.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We did all right the first time round where we won that one,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17not quite so well the second time.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20All right, well, we want you to do well here today.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And you've brought in Eoin there as the ringer, is he?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Erm, yeah, he's our secret weapon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27OK, we'll wait to see him unleashed.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- No pressure, obviously.- None at all.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31OK, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:31 > 0:01:33up for grabs for our challenges.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41So, Bright Sparks, the Eggheads have won the last ten games.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45That means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Let's set about the task, shall we, with our opening head-to-head.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51This is Film & Television.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Who would like to take this one on?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I'm quite good on Film & Television
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but, I mean, do you want me to stick out
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- for something like Arts & Books? - Would you like to take it on?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm happy for you to go for Film & Television.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- I'd actually quite like to try Film & Television.- Go for it, Guy.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I'll take Film & Television.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09All right, Guy, and which Egghead will you take?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I'd actually like to try against Barry, to be honest.- Well, you can.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Let's have Guy and Barry into the question room to make sure
0:02:17 > 0:02:19neither of you can confer with your teams.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well, Guy, let's see if we can get the team off to a flying start.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It's Film & Television. Do you want to go first, or second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'd like to go first, actually, please, Dermot.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Good luck, Guy, your first question is this.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Who became a new judge on the panel of Strictly Come Dancing in 2012?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, I probably shouldn't admit it
0:02:43 > 0:02:46but I'm actually quite a fan of Strictly, so I know the answer.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47It's Darcey Bussell.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49No harm in that, you're in very good company.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53The company of millions. Darcey Bussell is the right answer.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57OK Barry, your first question.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59In the 2001 film, Amelie,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04what is the occupation of the title character played by Audrey Tautou?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10This is a lovely film.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I've not seen it but it's about a girl who goes around doing
0:03:14 > 0:03:15nice things for people, I think.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I don't think she's a dental receptionist.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I don't think she's a librarian. I think she's a cafe waitress.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Cafe waitress is the correct answer, Barry.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So you both have scored with your first questions. Back to Guy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32The 2008 Swedish film, Let The Right One In,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36is about a young boy who befriends what type of supernatural being?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Again, I have to say I do like this film, as well. I like it a lot.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Erm, actually, it's in vampire.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48A vampire, you like the questions so far.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- That's right, yes.- I'm getting on well with them, I think.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Right up your street. You have two and Barry...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58The first three episodes of which sitcom were entitled
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Downsize, Work Experience and The Quiz?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Ah, it wasn't Gavin & Stacey.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It could be either The Office or The IT Crowd.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I never really watched many episodes of The Office
0:04:16 > 0:04:19but I think it is The Office, though. I'm going for The Office.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20OK, The Office.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24It is The Office, you've got it. Well done, Barry.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And, good quizzing from both players.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Guy, the children's TV series, Pingu,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34about the adventures of a young penguin
0:04:34 > 0:04:36was originally made in which country?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Erm, I think you've got me on this one, to be honest. I've seen Pingu.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47It one of those lovely little things but, erm...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Lovely little kids show but I...
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'm not sure. Erm...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I don't think it's Swiss, which obviously leaves Poland and Germany.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Erm...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I've seen the credits and I think they are in Polish.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I'm going to go, Poland.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08OK, Poland for Pingu.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It's Swiss. Switzerland.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let's see what Barry does with his third question.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Barry, the 1982 film version of the Dennis Potter play,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Brimstone & Treacle starred which performer?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I seem to remember Sting singing in this film.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29That obviously leads me to think it's Sting. Yeah, it's Sting.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- They've all been in films, though, haven't they?- Oh, gosh, yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34They probably all sung in films, as well.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Sting, though, is the right answer. Barry's got it. Bad luck, Guy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42You're obviously very good at that category.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It means you're not going to be in the final round.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Would you come back and join your teams?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The Sparks shining just a little bit less brightly after
0:05:51 > 0:05:54the ejection of Guy. The Eggheads are all still in it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58We've only played one round. Our next subject is Science.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Who'd like to play this?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
0:06:05 > 0:06:06OK, that'll be me, Dermot.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10All right, Louise, and pick your Egghead. It can't beat Barry.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- OK, I would like to take on Dave, please.- Dave, OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Let's have Louise and Dave into the question room, please.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Let's see if we can get you through. Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28OK, good luck, Louise. First question is this.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Which of these is the name for any flat-bottomed cylindrical
0:06:31 > 0:06:33container, usually made of glass,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and with a lip for pouring that is
0:06:35 > 0:06:37often used in laboratory experiments?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK, I don't think it's a mug
0:06:42 > 0:06:44because that's the sort of thing you would have cup of tea in.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46A flagon I associate with beer.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49So, I'm going to go for a beaker, Dermot.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Beaker is the correct answer, yes. Well done, Louise, good start.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Dave, necking is an aggressive form of behaviour by which animals?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Necking, I've not heard of it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Erm, but...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I'll have to go for giraffes but I've never heard of it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah, neither have I, not in that...
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Let's say, not in that context. It is giraffes, yes. Necking.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And, erm, we go back to Louise.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20The Radarange was the first version of which kitchen appliance
0:07:20 > 0:07:22to be demonstrated for commercial use?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29OK...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I'm thinking "Rada" may be radio waves.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I don't think it's a refrigerator.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm going to go, microwave oven.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yes, you've deciphered it, it's the right answer, well done.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41You have two.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Dave, the circadian rhythm is a cycle of biological activity
0:07:47 > 0:07:50found in many living things that roughly corresponds
0:07:50 > 0:07:51with which time period?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I should know this.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Erm... And, I don't, precisely.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Erm... I'm going to go for the day, but no surety at all.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The circadian rhythm roughly corresponds with a day.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08It's the right answer.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, it all square, Louise going well here.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Let's get this on the board and put the pressure back on Dave.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Cloudy Wing Virus
0:08:17 > 0:08:22is a disease which particularly affects which insects?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, well I don't think grasshoppers have wings.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Erm... So it would be bees or ladybirds.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Erm, I'm going to go bees, but I'm not sure.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40OK, not sure. But you've got it. Sure now.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Bees is the correct answer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43You have three.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Meaning Dave needs to match that with this one.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Dave, in which scientific field was James Edward Keeler
0:08:51 > 0:08:53an important name?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Mmm, not heard the name before.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So, could be over and out with this one.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Erm, I'm going to go astronomy.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08OK, astronomy for James Edward Keeler. It's the right answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Oh, right.- Well done. It's all square. Louise, you've got three
0:09:12 > 0:09:15but we now then make it harder. Because you're so good
0:09:15 > 0:09:18we're going to put you into Sudden Death to sort out a winner.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22You're not going to see any more choices. Here you go.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The Clarendon Laboratory, named after the first Earl of Clarendon,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28is part of which British university?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31OK, well, I'm from Leeds
0:09:31 > 0:09:33and I know the hospital has a Clarendon Wing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- So, I'm going to guess the University of Leeds.- OK, right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Well, a Clarendon Wing.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's not though. It's not Leeds. Do you know, Dave?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, I was tossing up between Oxford and Cambridge.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I'd probably slightly go Cambridge.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Well, it's Oxford. - So I would've got it wrong as well.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK, let's see how Dave does.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Dave, which gas makes up approximately 95%
0:09:57 > 0:10:00of the atmosphere of the planet, Mars?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I don't know. I should know.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Which gas? Erm...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Erm...
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Carbon dioxide.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Oh, you can tell by Barry's response.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It's the right answer, Dave, carbon dioxide.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I feel very sorry for Louise.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25She's got a lot better scientific knowledge than me.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I feel a bit of a fraud getting through that one.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You are through and, yes, I'd endorse that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Yeah, quite right, Dermot!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Louise did really well there and I don't know whether that wing
0:10:35 > 0:10:38in Leeds Hospital is named after this first Earl of Clarendon
0:10:38 > 0:10:40but that just lead you astray.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It means you won't be in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Really bad luck there for Louise. I can't believe this score.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The Bright Sparks have lost two brains, the Eggheads are all still there.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Rather riding their luck the Eggheads today but let's see
0:10:55 > 0:10:59if you can get rid of an Egghead, then, Bright Sparks,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01with this next category, it's Music.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05And we've got Eoin, Jim or Alex available.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- We've discussed...- Yes, we have.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Yeah, I'm going to do Music. - OK, now, choose an Egghead.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Dave and Barry have played so Kevin, Judith or Pat?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'm going to take on Judith.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20All right, let's have Alex and Judith into the question room.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25OK, Alex, would you like to go first, or second?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26I'll go first.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31OK first question on Music to you, Alex.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The phrase, "tickling the ivories" refers to the playing
0:11:34 > 0:11:36of which instrument?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Well, based on the fact cello is a string instrument,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44saxophone I believe is part of the woodwind family,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47erm, obviously, ivory keys. I'm going to go for the piano.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50The piano, yes, of course. Well done.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Ah, now, just reading this question to myself in advance.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Judith, I apologise for putting this question
0:11:58 > 0:12:01to a woman of your culture and breeding but here we go.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04After a televised audition for Popstars The Rivals,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09which duo had a hit in 2002 that was subtitled Touch My Bum?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10DERMOT LAUGHS
0:12:14 > 0:12:19I'm glad I prefaced that with my apology to you, Judith.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Well, I wonder if it was reflected in their name?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Cheeky Girls.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Now, come on, Judith, I know you're pretending
0:12:29 > 0:12:30you've hardly ever heard of it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You and Daphne performed it at the last Eggheads Christmas party.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36That was supposed to be a secret, Dermot!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- You're not supposed to say that out loud.- Don't be shy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It was fantastic, if only we'd recorded it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It is the right answer, The Cheeky Girls.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So, all square
0:12:48 > 0:12:49and we go back to you, Alex.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55The violinist Andre Rieu had a UK hit album in 2010 with what title?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Erm, I wouldn't say this was my strong point at all,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04being slightly classical.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Erm, based on his name, I'm not sure it would be Forever Athens,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10being Greek, or...
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'll go for Forever Vienna. I think...
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Forever Vienna? It's the right answer! Good guess.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Judith...
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Which of these was a 1977 hit in which each of four singers
0:13:25 > 0:13:28introduced himself with his star sign, his name
0:13:28 > 0:13:31and a description of his ideal woman?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I don't know whether all those Drifters, Floaters, Coasters
0:13:39 > 0:13:41are real.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I've heard of The Drifters. Erm...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The Drifters one.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- OK, Drift On by The Drifters?- Yes.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I think they're all real, actually. - Are they?- They are.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Dave's shaking his head there. Dave, what do you think?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57It's Float On by The Floaters.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Float On by The Floaters.- Oh.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Which means you have a chance here, Alex,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05to get into the final round.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09The comedy song popularly called Let's Do It,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12written by the Victoria Wood has what full title?
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Erm, as you might be quite aware I've probably got no idea at all.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Erm...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27It's going to be a stab in the dark.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm going to go for A Love Song for Roger and Judith.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, one of them is real, of course.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36We've cleverly woven in in the other options the names of other Eggheads.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Brilliant question. Not a brilliant answer, though.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42It is The Ballad of Barry and Freda.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You didn't get it so Judith is still in the game,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47but does still need this to survive.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Oh, this will redress the balance after The Cheeky Girls question.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54In its first few years from 1934,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58the Glyndebourne Festival Opera concentrated almost
0:14:58 > 0:15:01exclusively on staging the works of which composer?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I think it was Mozart.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08OK, Mozart.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Is the right answer. Yes, well done. Well, your challenge is revived.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We go to Sudden Death again.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Alex, in the titles of songs that were hits in the 1950s,
0:15:19 > 0:15:211960s and 1970s respectively,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24what is "a many splendid thing,"
0:15:24 > 0:15:27"all around" and "in the air"?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I think I know this.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Erm...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm going to go for love.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Love, that's all we needed. Yeah, that's the right answer.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well done, yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Judith, the 1967 hit single for Petula Clark was
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Don't Sleep In The what?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Don't Sleep In The Daytime.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Don't Sleep...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Gosh, I don't know.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Er, Don't Sleep In The Daytime, I don't know.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01JUDITH GIGGLES
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Don't sleep In The Daytime, it's incorrect.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05The other Eggheads will now instantly supply it for me.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Don't Sleep In The Subway, Darling. - Thank you, Barry.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Don't Sleep In The Subway. - Oh, Don't Sleep In The Subway.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I never would have got that. - OK, you know what's happened.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19It means, Alex, you are through to the final round.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Well done and Judith, you're not.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, the Eggheads sustaining some damage there.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30As it stands now the Eggheads have lost that one brain
0:16:30 > 0:16:32but the Bright Sparks have lost two.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Our last head-to-head is Arts & Books.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Who would like to play this one from Eoin or Jim?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41That would be me.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK, Jim, and which Egghead would you like to play.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- It can be Kevin or Pat? - I'd like to play Kevin, please.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Let's have Jim and Kevin into the question room.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Well, Jim you choose. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01OK, here you go. According to the Oxford English Dictionary,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05which word for a literary style was first used in a 1960 article?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, it's going to be a bit of the guess.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm going to discount Pinteresque, because I've not heard of it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Ortonistic, I'm going to discount that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23As I've heard of Alan Ayckbourn, I'm going to go for Ayckbournian.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Ayckbournian, it's not the right answer.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29No, do you know, Kevin, of the other two?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I think the genuine one there is Pinteresque.- Yeah, you're right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Pinteresque is after Harold Pinter. Erm...
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Your question, Kevin.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The 17th-century painting, Samson and Delilah
0:17:41 > 0:17:44by Peter Paul Rubens features which utensil?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Well, in the biblical story Delilah sapped Samson's strength
0:17:53 > 0:17:56by cutting his hair,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59so that would seem to imply a pair of scissors.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The other two don't really bear thinking about.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Or what she might have done with them.- Well, no, don't go there.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10OK, it is a pair of scissors, yes, identified why Kevin.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14OK, Jim. See if you can get this one to get you started.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17In 2000, Tracey Emin's artwork, My Bed,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21was bought for £150,000 by which art collector?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, I've actually seen this
0:18:28 > 0:18:32and I'm quite confident on the answer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- I'll go for Charles Saatchi. - Much better. Yes, that's right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40OK...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Kevin, The Good Soldier is the title of a 1915 novel
0:18:44 > 0:18:45by which writer?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Er, yeah, came more into vogue because a TV serialisation
0:18:56 > 0:19:00was made of Parade's End, which was a sequence of novels.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's Ford Madox Ford.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06That is the correct answer. So you need this, Jim.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10The artist born Robert Clark in the mid-western USA in 1928
0:19:10 > 0:19:13became famous under what name?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Again, I don't know the answer to this one, like the first question.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm thinking mid-western...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I think they're probably all mid-western.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34So, I'll go for Robert Iowa.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Robert Iowa. No, it's not.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Kevin, any idea? - Indiana. Robert Indiana.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Robert Indiana, which means, Kevin, you are through to the final round.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Bad luck, Jim, you won't be there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It's time for the final round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:59 > 0:20:01won't be able to take part in this round.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03So Guy, Louise and Jim from the Bright Sparks
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and Judith, from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So, Eoin and Alex, you're playing to win The Bright Sparks £11,000.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something which
0:20:16 > 0:20:19money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You are allowed to confer, so, Bright Sparks, the question is
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Eoin and Alex, would you like to go first or second?- First.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- We'll go first, please, Dermot. - Definitely first.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Off we go, then. And the first question is this -
0:20:42 > 0:20:45President John F Kennedy was often referred to by what name?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53INAUDIBLE CONFERRING
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It was Jack.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Jack Kennedy? Yes, it is the right answer, well done.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Eggheads, Operation Deepscan, in 1987 was a search using sonar
0:21:05 > 0:21:08equipment for which legendary creature?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You wouldn't need sonar for...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Yetis, or Beasts of Bodmin, so land creatures,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19so Loch Ness Monster sounds...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That's the one you think would require sonar?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24We think the only one of those which would really require
0:21:24 > 0:21:26sonar would be the Loch Ness Monster.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK, the Loch Ness Monster, and Kevin there saying that the Yeti
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and the Beast of Bodmin are land creatures, so you believe in them?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It does rather imply that, doesn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38No implication should be taken.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Loch Ness Monster is the right answer, well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And over to the Bright Sparks again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47The Duchess of Gloucester, who was a daughter-in-law of George V
0:21:47 > 0:21:51and lived to be 102, became known by what title?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I've heard of a Princess Alice.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Saying like, Princess, it could be kind of like...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02INAUDIBLE CONFERRING
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And now we're a bit stuck.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Well, if you think...
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I can't see it being Countess Elizabeth.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Shall we go for Princess Alice?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- It rings a slight bell. More than the other two.- Right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Something about Princess Alice rings a bell,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21so we will say Princess Alice.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24OK, Princess Alice is the right answer, you got it,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26well done, you have two.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34Eggheads, the words lemming, ski and fjord all come from which language?
0:22:34 > 0:22:35I'm sure that's Norwegian.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I thought it was Norwegian.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40OK, we think they all come from Norwegian.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's the right answer, Eggheads, it's all square again.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Back to the Bright Sparks.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Which of these is the name of the award-winning industrial
0:22:47 > 0:22:50heritage museum in Blaenavon, in South Wales?
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Again, I would say it's going to be Big Pit or King Coal.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- Big Pit sounds a bit more Welsh Valleys, doesn't it?- Potentially.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Shall we go for...
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- I'd go for Big Pit.- It's on you.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- I like the sound of it. - Yes, all right, cool.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Another one of which we have no knowledge,
0:23:19 > 0:23:24but, of those, the one that sounds like it would be an awesome
0:23:24 > 0:23:28museum title would be Big Pit, we'll go for Big Pit.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And it is Big Pit, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So, Eggheads, you need this, then.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37The colourful character who, in the 1920s, styled himself
0:23:37 > 0:23:42as the Abyssinian Prince Monolulu became familiar in the UK as what?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48"I've got a tip," - racing tipster.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49He did the Grand National, didn't he?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53"I've got a tip, I've got a tip," - he would turn up at the meetings.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55He was a racing tipster.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58"I've got a horse."
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yes.- "I've got a horse, I've got a horse."
0:24:00 > 0:24:04It's the right answer, yes. Racing tipster, Eggheads.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05OK, we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09And, going really well there, Eoin and Alex.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Here you go.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Douglas Fairbanks, Gene Kelly, Michael York
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and Gerard Depardieu have all played which fictional character on film?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22At least two or three of those, I know, were in
0:24:22 > 0:24:23films of The Three Musketeers.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My goodness, that's tough, that's tough.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- That's the best I can come up with. - The Three Musketeers?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Michael York was in the Three Musketeers films
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- and played D'artagnan.- Right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I've got to be honest, I have absolutely no idea,
0:24:40 > 0:24:41so if you want to go with that?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47We're not entirely sure...
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, that's been the case with the last two, anyway!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- However, we're going to say D'artagnan.- D'artagnan.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Is the right answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Phew! Well done.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Look at the relief on your faces.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Well done, well worked out. Yes, Three Musketeers. D'artagnan.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Well done. The Eggheads need to get this.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, chance for the money here.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14Eggheads, the organisation known as Age UK was formed in 2009 when
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Age Concern England merged with which other charity?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Help The Aged. - Help The Aged is a possibility.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Because that is no longer... - Can we think of any others?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Because Help The Aged isn't around any more, is it?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's the logical...
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Yes, it is. I can't think of anything else.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'd stick with that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Stick with that?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46We're not certain of this but we're going to go for Help The Aged.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Help The Aged.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's the right answer, Eggheads, on we go.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You did fantastically with that last one. Try this one.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00Sadat and Nasser are stations on the underground system of which city?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Well, they're both very famous Egyptian presidents...- Yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I can't imagine that any other Egyptian city
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but Cairo would have an underground...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- So, Cairo?- Cairo, go for it.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16As they're both famous Egyptian presidents,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20we think that the answer is possibly Cairo.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23OK, Cairo is correct, well done.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27And Eggheads, you need to get this one right.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32In 2005, the use of the terms spinster and bachelor on UK marriage
0:26:32 > 0:26:35certificates was discontinued in favour of which word?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I got married in Australia, so that doesn't help?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Single, maybe?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Unattached?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Spinster... maybe, simply, unmarried?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Hmm. Unmarried, single, unattached.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54"Unattached" sounds like a rather funny word to use in that
0:26:54 > 0:26:57formal context, but I haven't got the faintest idea...
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- It is a legal sort of issue, isn't it...- Yes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05So what do we think?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Unattached, single, unmarried.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Unmarried looks the...- Looks the one. - Does it look the more solid?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Yes.- I'm happy with that.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I suppose single is a possibility, isn't it?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Do we fancy it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Unmarried. It could be unmarried or single, but... OK.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27OK, we'll go with that, then?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31We're torn between two options, we're going to go for "Unmarried."
0:27:31 > 0:27:36OK, spinster and bachelor on UK marriage certificate replaced as...
0:27:39 > 0:27:43"single," which means, Bright Sparks, you've won the money!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46GASPS
0:27:49 > 0:27:50DERMOT CACKLES
0:27:50 > 0:27:53You should see what's going on behind you, turn round
0:27:53 > 0:27:54and have a look!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56DERMOT LAUGHS
0:27:56 > 0:27:57How does that feel?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- I feel ill.- Unreal.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01He feels ill.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04You did fantastically, I mean you worked, we saw you working,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07we heard you working, especially with that D'artagnan question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads were working hard and you outworked them.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I thought they were going to go for "single"
0:28:11 > 0:28:13but they talked themselves out of it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16But that's fantastic, you did really well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I think that's the first thing I've ever won!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I possibly won a pencil once in a competition when I was about eight.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, thank you very much for coming along and taking all that money
0:28:24 > 0:28:28home with you. £11,000. Fantastic performance today.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Spectacular, in the final round, which means you've proved the Eggheads
0:28:33 > 0:28:35can be beaten,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38you are officially smarter than the Eggheads for today anyway.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Do join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new
0:28:40 > 0:28:42team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
