These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
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 the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
This team of colleagues all work | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
for the same shipping line in Liverpool - let's meet them. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi. I'm Nick. I'm 42. I'm a customer services manager. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Hi. I'm Peter. I'm 31 and I'm an internal audit manager. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi. I'm Paul. I'm 49 and I'm an accounts assistant. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Hello. I'm Dean. I'm 42 and I'm a credit manager. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Hello. I'm Bob. I'm 64. I'm the company quality manager. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Welcome to you, Ship Mates. Ship Mates because of the work. You socialise, I hope? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
We've done quizzes together. That's a good thing. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-We've won a few, different combinations. -How competitive are they? Pub quiz or...? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
It's company quizzes. Yeah. We've won a few in the company. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
-I know they're going to be competitive! -Yes. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
-LAUGHTER -Let's play the game. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
So, Ship Mates, the Eggheads have won the last five games. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
£6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
The first head-to-head is Geography. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Who wants to play this? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
You're going for that one? Yeah. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
OK. Paul, I reckon... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
What do you think? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Chris. Yeah? Yeah. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
I'll take that one, Dermot, and I'll take on Chris, please. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-All right. Chris, you're delighted. -Absolutely. -Playing Sport. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
Yeah. We can have a long chat about the dockers' umbrella. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-LAUGHTER -Right. Not too long. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Let's have Paul and Chris into the Question Room, so you can't confer. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:14 | |
Let's get the Ship Mates under steam. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-Paul, do you want to go first or second? -I'll go first please, Dermot. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
Your first question. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
The Nubian Desert is in the northeast of which African country? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Hm. It's not one I know. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Um... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
I think I might go for Judith's trait here and go for Sudan. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
It works! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
-What's Judith's trait? -When she doesn't know, she pops to the right. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
-LAUGHING: -It's the right answer! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
All right! Chris... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Which island group lies about 1,000 miles directly west of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon? | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
The Faroe Islands are up towards Iceland, so it's not them. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
The Canary Islands are a bit too far south, off the coast of Africa. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-So it's the Azores. -It is the right answer. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Good start, Paul. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Medan is the largest city on which Indonesian island? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
Medan - M-E-D-A-N. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Hm! Wish I'd never been put into Geography now! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
CHUCKLES | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Again, it's going to have to be a guess on my part, Dermot. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-I think it may be Java. -OK. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-I see you're edging across, as you guess. -I am. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
When you don't know, it's the way to go. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
You should have swung the other way. It's Sumatra. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
See what Chris does. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Footscray, Toorak and Moonee Ponds are suburbs of which Australian city? | 0:03:56 | 0:04:03 | |
AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Moonee Ponds is where Edna Everage is from. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
It's Melbourne. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Thank you for the Melbourne accent. Needs a bit of work. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
But you got the right answer. It means you need this, Paul. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
Hartsfield-Jackson, often cited as the world's busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
is about ten miles from which US city? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
Um... I seem to remember hearing something about Chicago O'Hare, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:36 | |
but I'm just not too sure. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Philadelph...? Yes. I'll go again with Chicago. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
OK. But as you said there, O'Hare and this is Hartsfield-Jackson. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
Which is in Atlanta. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Which means the round is over. Chris has two points. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
You can't beat that, Paul. No place in the final round. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
After the opening round, the Ship Mates have lost one brain. The Eggheads are all still here. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:10 | |
Our next subject...it's Politics. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Who fancies a go at this one? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-Away to you, Mr Brown! -PETER: You were our Politics man. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Definitely saw it on the sheet. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Who do you think? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
I reckon you should go for Barry. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
OK, I'll take Politics, Dermot, and I'll play Barry. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
It's going to be Dean and Barry playing the Politics round. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
You know where to go - the Question Room, please. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Dean, Politics, how are you with this subject? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
It's not the strongest of my subjects and not of the team's. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
This was the Achilles' heel and I've drawn the short straw. Let's see how we get on. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -I'll go first please, Dermot. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Good luck, Dean. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
What term refers to a candidate for the leadership of a party | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
who stands in order to potentially allow a stronger candidate to come forward? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Right, well, I've no idea on this. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
I don't know any of these. Nothing looks familiar. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Tracking pig, I'm going to rule out. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
I'm going to go straight down the middle at hunting dog. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Haven't heard of it. Gone for hunting dog. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-What do you think, Barry? -I think it's a stalking horse. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
It is a stalking horse. Barry, this is your question. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
George Bush senior's famous line during his 1988 Presidential bid was "Read my lips. No new..." what? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:44 | |
I think this has gone down in American lore. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Don't you just love it when a politician says, "Read my lips"? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-He was talking about taxes. -And when he was elected, famously had to...? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
Increase taxes. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
"Read my lips. No new taxes." Yup. It's the right answer. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
You have a lead. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
Which country's parliament is known as the Supreme People's Assembly? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
It sounds very much like North Korea to me. I don't think it's Russia. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
-I think it's North Korea. -North Korea. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Supreme People's Assembly. It's the right answer. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
In May 2010, David Cameron and Nick Clegg announced the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
at a joint press conference in which part of Downing Street? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
I remember this conference. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
I believe that everything was smelling of roses! | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-It was in the rose garden. -It is the rose garden. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
You need this, Dean. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
The budget box that was retired in 2010 was first used by which Chancellor of the Exchequer? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
It's either Gladstone or Lloyd George. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
I think, um... | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
I'm not 100% sure about them two, either! I'm going to go for... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
David Lloyd George. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
David Lloyd George, the budget box, the old red box? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
The very battered red box. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
I think it was retired and then brought back by Gordon Brown. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
I think he got some apprentices to make him one then brought it back | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
and it finally retired in 2010. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Anyway, the original was used by... Lloyd George, Barry? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
No. I think it was almost the original Gladstone bag - Gladstone. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
Yeah. It's William Ewart Gladstone for that budget box. That old! | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
Which means Barry's through. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
You're in the final round. Bad luck, Dean. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
You won't be playing there. Would you both please join your teams? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
The Eggheads have struck fairly rapidly in those first two head-to-heads. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
Means the Ship Mates are two members of the crew down. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
The Eggheads are all there, but we've got plenty of quizzing to do. Our next category is Sport. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
Which of the three of you left? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Finally got something! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I think we should. I'll definitely take Peter on Sport. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Peter? I'll take Sport, yeah. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
All right, Peter. Who would you like to play - Kevin, Judith or Pat? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
-Sorry, Judith, but it's going to have to be you. -She's delighted. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
She loves it(!) Let's have Peter and Judith into the Question Room. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
Peter, you were the unanimous choice to play this. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-What are your favourite sports? -I'm a big football fan. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
I've had a season ticket for Liverpool since I was nine or ten. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
I've seen a lot with them. Quite keen on golf as well. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
It's not going well so far, but I'll continue with first please, Dermot. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
Good luck, Peter. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
The tennis player Stefan Edberg was born in which country? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
A good start for me. I think I know this one. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
Grew up watching the likes of him and Boris Becker around that era. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
I would say it was Sweden, please. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Yeah. Sweden is the right answer. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
It's a doubly good one for you. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
You deprived Judith. She does like tennis questions. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
You elected to take that set of questions so Judith has got this. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
Who would be most likely to make use of a take-off box in their sport? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
-A take-off box? -Yeah. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Well, divers have take-off boards. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
And figure skaters just have an ice rink. They don't take off anywhere. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-It must be a pole vaulter. -Pole vaulter. Yes. Correct. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
Peter, your second question. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
In 1949, the American Sam Snead became the first person | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
to be awarded which coveted item of sports apparel? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
OK. Another good one, I think. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Rule out yellow jersey, as that's Tour de France. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
Black belt is obviously karate or something like that. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-It's green jacket please, Dermot. -Green jacket. -Yeah. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-Why did he win it? -He won the Masters. -Yeah. Indeed. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
US Masters. It's the right answer. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
What is the overall width of a wicket on a standard cricket pitch | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
formed by positioning three wooden stumps? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Well, let's think. We can do some maths here, Dermot. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-I SO enjoy your counting, Judith. -JUDITH LAUGHING | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
If you get over ten, you have to take your socks off! | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
Well, I mean... A stump is about an inch, isn't it? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
Yeah. I think 12 is too many. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
Have to have that much in between. Let's think... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-I should think it's nine inches. CHUCKLING: -OK. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
LAUGHING | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
What? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
How did you work that out? By...? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Well, a stump is about, I should think, an inch. Hang on! | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
An inch. Then it's got about two inches in between. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
OK. Yeah. Nine inches. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
-It's the right answer, Judith. -See? Maths works. -It does. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:44 | |
You're both quizzing very well. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Peter, what is the title of the work first published in 1791 that records the breeding records | 0:12:47 | 0:12:54 | |
for thoroughbred horses in Great Britain and Ireland? | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Again, I think I know this one. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
I do like watching horse racing occasionally, so I should... | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
In fact, one of my family is quite into it, so I should get this. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
I think it's the Wetherbys Guide to Foals. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-Wetherbys. -Yeah. -It's not the right answer. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-OK. Oh, dear. -Judith, do you know? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
-Have a guess. -I should think it's the General Stud Book. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-It is the General Stud Book. -Oh, right. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
You get into the final round, Judith, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
with a correct answer here. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
The Kenyan runner Peter Rono - spelled R-O-N-O, his surname - | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
won gold in which event at the 1988 Olympics? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
The Kenyan runners are very good at long distance. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
So I think I'm going to rule out 400 metres, hoping for the best. | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
I think it's the marathon. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Peter Rono won gold in the... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-in the 1500 metres. -Oh, dash it! | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
No, it wasn't a dash. That's quite long, too. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Which means we go to Sudden Death. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
First time in the game. I'm sure you know it, Peter. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
You don't see any more choices until we sort out a winner. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
Your Sudden Death question is this. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
In 2011, who took over the captaincy of the Australian Test cricket team from Ricky Ponting? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
Um... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
I think it was one of the Husseys, but I'm not sure which one. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
Um... I will go for... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-Michael Hussey. -OK, Michael Hussey. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
It's not the right answer, Peter. Judith, do you mind if I skip past you or do you want to have a go? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:56 | |
-I don't want to have a go. You can skip past me! -Anyone in the studio tell me? | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
-SHIP MATES: Michael Clarke. -We got it from all sides. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Michael Clarke, Peter. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
Judith, a chance to take the round. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
And...it's on tennis. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
Which tennis player won his sixth end-of-season championship in 2011 | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
in a match that was also his 100th career final? | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
Well, I suppose he's quite old. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-His sixth end-of-season...? -Yeah. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
His sixth end-of-season championship in 2011, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
in a match that was also his 100th career final. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
I'm not quite sure what "championship" means in that case. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
Whether it's a Grand Slam championship. I suppose... | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
Well, if it meant a Grand Slam match that means it's the American Open. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:49 | |
And who won it? I think it was Djokovic. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-I always need a first name and a surname. -What the hell is his name? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
Oh... What is his name? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
Um... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Oh! What is his name? I'm in a panic now cos I can't remember his name. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
I'd just like to record to the nation that if Djokovic is right, I do know who won it! | 0:16:11 | 0:16:17 | |
Well, it's not Djokovic. Let's end it there. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-Thank goodness for that! -Novak Djokovic, by the way. -Novak! | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
Anyone tell me? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-KEVIN: Federer. -Roger Federer, Judith. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-Did he win the Open...? -No, no. It didn't say Grand Slams. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-He couldn't have been in 100 Grand Slam finals! -No, that's true. -100th career final. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
OK, Peter. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
The Oakwell Stadium, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
with a capacity of approximately 23,000, is home to which north of England football club? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:50 | |
Finally, a football question. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
I've never been there but I know it's Barnsley. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
That's right. Barnsley. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Judith, | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
if you get this wrong, you've lost the round. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
The Amsterdam school teacher Nico Broekhuysen is credited with inventing which game in 1901? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:09 | |
Broekhuysen. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
SIGHS | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
What could he have done? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
1901? What on Earth was invented in 1901? | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
Cheese rolling. I don't know. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Um... What else do the Dutch do? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
Canal racing. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
LAUGHTER Canal barge racing. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
There is a sport which is canal skating, isn't there? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
There's a canal skating race. I have absolutely no idea. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
Um... I'm going to say the canal skating race. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
-OK. -I don't know what it's called. -Canal skating, cheese rolling. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
-They were all wrong. You're wrong. -Am I surprised(?) | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
-LAUGHING: -No. Does any Egghead know? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-Korfball. -It's Korfball. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-Never heard of it. -Eggheads can explain. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
-You have mixed teams - four men, four women. -It's similar to what? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
Basketball. "Korf" means "basket" in Dutch. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
Korfball. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
What an entertaining round that was, with a great outcome for the Ship Mates. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:22 | |
You're in the final round, Peter. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Would you both please join your teams? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
Having a great time here. The Ship Mates having a better time! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
One Egghead gone. Two Ship Mates, though. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Our last head-to-head before the final round is Film & Television. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
Who fancies a go at this? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-That'll be me this time. -Who would you like to play? It's so long since we had a pick. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
That round went on so long! Judith, Chris and Barry have played. You've got Kevin or Pat. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
Are you happy for me to go for it? I think I should go for it. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
Go for it. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-My lifetime ambition. Kevin, please. -You have it! | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Let's have Nick and Kevin into the Question Room for Film & TV. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
Nick fulfilling an ambition to take on Kevin. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -After Peter did so well, I'll go first as well, please. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
Good luck to you, Nick. Who starred as the title character in the 1997 film Donnie Brasco? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:26 | |
I've heard of it but I haven't seen it. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
As a film buff, that really isn't a great answer. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
But I'm going to cross out Harrison Ford. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
I don't think it sounds like a Tom Cruise film. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
I'm going with Johnny Depp. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Johnny Depp as Donnie Brasco? It's the right answer. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
You knew enough about the other two to work out that it was Johnny Depp. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Bomber Busbridge played by Pat Roach and Dennis Patterson played by Tim Healy | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
were characters in which 1980s comedy drama? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
They were two of the building site gang in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
Is the right answer. Back to you, Nick. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Which comedian plays the hapless history teacher Mr Wickers in the sitcom Bad Education? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
Once again, I haven't seen it. But I've seen trailers for it. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
I'm pretty sure Russell Howard hasn't done any acting. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I'm a big fan of Lee Mack, so I'm pretty sure it's not him. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
I'm going to go with Jack Whitehall. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Is the right answer. Well done. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Which actor, who appeared regularly in the 1960s Batman TV series, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
played the trainer Mickey Goldmill in the Rocky series of films? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
I'm trying to remember who he played in Batman. Was he the Penguin? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
I can't remember. Anyway, it's Burgess Meredith. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
He WAS the Penguin. Had a cigarette holder. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
It's the right answer. Well done. Good quizzing. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
On the children's television programme Sesame Street, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
what is the full name of the numerically obsessed count? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
That's taking me back quite a few years. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
I'm definitely going to cross out Count Upp to start with. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
Leaving me with the other two. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-HE SIGHS -Let me think. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
For the man who likes numbers, I'm going to go for Count von Count. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
Count von Count. Your degree's in maths, isn't it? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-Just! Yeah. -LAUGHTER | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-You got this. I don't think that has any bearing on it. -Didn't cover it. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
-It's the right answer. -Well done, Nick. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Kevin, you need this. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
In what era is the 1967 Julie Andrews musical Thoroughly Modern Millie set? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 | |
It's set in the flapper era of the 1920s. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
That's the correct answer and, as I suspected, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
we're heading into Sudden Death. Both players going really well. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
Nick, your Sudden Death question. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
In the film Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy plays a detective who normally operates in which city? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:24 | |
In the film Beverly Hills Cop, | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Eddie Murphy plays a detective who normally operates in which city? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
Right. I've gone completely blank. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
I can see the film. I can see him in it. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
SIGHS | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
I'm going to have to have a complete guess and say New York. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
New York, and obviously he transplants to Beverly Hills. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Where did he come from? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
New York is the wrong answer. Do you know, Kevin? | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-Detroit. -It's detroit. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
It's not Kevin's question. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
This is your question, Kevin. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Mosfilm, established in the 1920s, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
is a film studio based in which country? | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
Mosfilm, established in the 1920s, is a film studio based in which country? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:14 | |
Well, the Mos is for Moscow, so it's what was then the Soviet Union, | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
now Russia. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Is the correct answer, Kevin. You've got through. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
I suppose you suspected, Nick, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
-if you make a mistake against this man... -Yeah. -..it can be terminal. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
And it has. No place in the final round for Nick, but good quizzing. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
Got into Sudden Death against Kevin. Would you both please join your teams? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:45 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
won't take part. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Nick, Paul and Dean from the Ship Mates | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
So, Peter and Bob, you're playing to win the Ship Mates £6,000. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin, | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
I ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:14 | |
Ship Mates, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -First, please, Dermot. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
The final round starts now with this question, Ship Mates. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
Which businessman married Priscilla Chan in 2012? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Well, as far as I know Warren Buffett and Donald Trump are still | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
-happily married men. -Mm-hm. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
-Yeah. -So... -Shall we rule them two out? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
I would think we'd be safe with Mark Zuckerberg. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
-He's the guy that invented Facebook, I think. -Yeah. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
OK? Mark Zuckerberg please, Dermot. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
married in 2012 - it's the right answer and a good start. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
What name was used by Neil Armstrong for the landing site on the moon | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
where the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Tranquillity Base, isn't it? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
That's Tranquillity Base. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
It's the right answer. OK, Ship Mates. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
"Fuerte" is a popular variety of which food? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
F-U-E-R-T-E, "fuerte". | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
-I wouldn't think it would be potato. -I wouldn't say potato. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
That's far too European and English. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
So we're stuck between avocado or radish. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
-It sounds a bit exotic, doesn't it? -You're going to the avocado? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
-I'm thinking so. -That seems the most one to match. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
-We say avocado please. -Avocado for "fuerte". | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
Going well. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
In the Shakespeare play Hamlet who kills Polonius? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
-Hamlet stabs him through the arras. -Hiding behind the arras. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
Hamlet himself? | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
-That was Hamlet himself. -He was stabbed in the...? | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
-Hiding behind the arras. -Which was a type of curtain. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
Could be painful, that! | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
It is the right answer, Hamlet. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
This is a good final round. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Ship Mates, the album Snap, Crackle & Bop, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
featuring the track Evidently Chickentown, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
is part of the output of which performance poet? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
-Any idea? -No idea whatsoever. -I'm absolutely clueless. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
-Never heard of any of them. -So, what do you suggest? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
We're going to have to have a guess. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Maybe we need the one with the most swinging type name. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
-We'll go down the middle? -We believe it's Murray Lachlan Young. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
For Snap, Crackle & Bop. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
-What do you think, Eggheads? -John Cooper Clarke. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
It's John Cooper Clarke with Snap, Crackle & Bop. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
Leaves you vulnerable here. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
You've just got to hope the Eggheads don't get it. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
Which singer became best known for being lead vocalist with the band The Kills? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
Well, Justine Frischmann is with Elastica. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
Karen O, wasn't she the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
She's best known for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
By a process of elimination, it's got to be Alison Mosshart. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
We're going for Alison Mosshart. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
-Do you agree, Chris? -Possibly, yeah. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
It is the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
You've won. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Bad luck, Ship Mates. Just too good for you in the end, those Eggheads. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
But good quizzing, particularly by you, Peter. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
That round against Judith will live in the memory for a while! | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Great fun having you here. Best of luck with all the quizzing. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £6,000. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
The money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:26 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:31 | |
£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
