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 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 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 taking on our awesome quiz champions today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
are the Taverners from Wiltshire. This team of friends quiz together | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
at the Canal Tavern in Bradford on Avon. Let's meet them. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
Hello. I'm Tim. I'm 60 years old and I'm a novelist. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Hello. I'm Frances. I'm 57 years old | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
and I'm a senior administrator for the National Trust. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi. I'm Dave. I'm 64 and I'm a computer support consultant. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
Hello. I'm Lee. I'm 65 and I'm a part-time sales administrator. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi. I'm David. I'm 48 and I'm a local government director. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Welcome to you, Taverners. Tell me about the pub. What's the beer like? | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
-Excellent. Yeah, really good. Yeah. -Nice drop? -Absolutely. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
-What's the quiz like? -The quiz is fine. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
We've been doing the quiz for a number of years now. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
We don't do too badly in it. We've never actually won it. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-But we do all right. -You've never won it? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-So it must be quite competitive. -It is, absolutely, yeah. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
How would the Eggheads do? Can they come along in disguise? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-I think they'd do fairly well. -Finish mid division somewhere. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-At least. -Maybe towards the bottom. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Yeah. OK. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
So, Taverners, the Eggheads have won the last eight games | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
that means that £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
And our first head-to-head battle is on Film & Television. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Who'd like to play this and which Egghead would you like to take on? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-Who fancies that? -Who's best on Film & TV? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
Anyone fancy Film & TV? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Do you want Film & TV? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-I'll do it. -Yeah. -Frances. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
-I'll have a go. -OK. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-Who do you want to play from the Eggheads, Frances? -Oh! | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-I'll try Dave, please. -Dave. Why not? OK. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
To start us off, I'll ask Dave and Frances to go to the Question Room. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
So, Frances, I hear you're a keen footballer. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Well, I was many years ago, Dermot. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
I like watching it now but that's as far as I go. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
You used to play five-a-side. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
I used to play five-a-side when I worked at the Home Office. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-We won the London regions one year. -Good on you. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-What position did you play? -I was a forward in those days, yeah. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-So, you knocked a few in? -I did. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
I had a nice volley into the top corner one day. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Lovely. That's, in quizzing terms, what we want to see you do today | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-with these questions. -Yeah. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -Can I go second, please? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
OK. Elected to put Dave in first. This is your question, Dave. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Which actress found fame | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
playing the role of Dot Cotton on EastEnders? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Which actress found fame playing the role of Dot Cotton on EastEnders? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
Eileen Derbyshire's Emily Bishop | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
in Coronation Street. Paula Tilbrook is Betty Eagleton in Emmerdale. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
So that leaves June Brown to play Dot Cotton. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
You almost earned three points there. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-I can't give you them. -Don't give them. -Just one for a correct answer. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Too much information. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Never too much from an Egghead, Dave. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-OK. -Your first question, Frances. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Which animated TV series was narrated by the actor Arthur Lowe? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Which animated television series was narrated by the actor Arthur Lowe? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
Don't know this immediately. But, um... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
I can't imagine him doing Rastamouse somehow. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Trumpton? No. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-I'll go for Mr Men, please. -Mr Men, for Captain Mainwaring himself, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Arthur Lowe, is the right answer. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-Yep. -Hooray. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Who, of course, Dave, was also in Coronation Street, wasn't he? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Yeah, Mr Swindley. In fact, he got jilted at the altar | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
by Emily Bishop, who was then Emily Nugent. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Oh! It's all joining up here, all the questions. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
And your second question, Dave. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Who played Ben Sanderson in the 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
Yeah, Oscar-winning performance from Nicolas Cage. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
Nicolas Cage is the right answer. Not messing around there, Dave. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Neither is Frances. Second question for you. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Who played the commander of the nuclear submarine USS Tigerfish | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
in the 1968 film Ice Station Zebra? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
Again, I don't know. But I'll discount Cary Grant to start with. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
Um, and I'll go for Gregory Peck. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Gregory Peck in charge of the nuclear sub going under the ice cap. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Yes. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:06 | |
But it was Rock Hudson in charge. Rock Hudson. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
A dangerous time to stumble, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Frances, because Dave can administer a knock-out blow if he gets this. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
Dave, what is the name of the civil servant played by Joanna Scanlan | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
in the TV sitcom The Thick Of It? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
I've watched The Thick Of It. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:27 | |
It doesn't immediately come to mind. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
But one name that comes out of that, and I'm going to go for it, is Terri. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Well, Terri will do. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
It is the right answer. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
A question about a civil servant putting you out. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-I know. Imagine that. -Sorry, Frances. -That's all right. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
But that is the end of the round. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Dave's through. Both come back and join your teams. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
The Eggheads one up. One Taverner missing at this point. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
The Eggheads are all there. Early days, though. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Our next subject is Sport. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Who fancies this one? Sport. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-That's you, Dave. -I'll be nominated for this. -I think it's you. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
The man in the middle. Who are you going to have? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
-I think I'll... -What do you reckon? -Judith. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Judith. Let's have Dave and Judith into the Question Room, please. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
All right. Let's play the round, then. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Dave, would you like to go first or second? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Good luck. What is the first name of the football manager | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
colloquially referred to in the press by his initials AVB? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
What is the first name of the football manager | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
colloquially referred to in the press by his initials AVB? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
He used to be the manager of the team I support. It's Andre. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-Presumably you can tell me what the VB is, then. -Villas-Boas. -Yes. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Yes. Andre Villas-Boas. We wanted Andre and we heard it. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
1-0 to Dave. Judith, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Robert Rock and Simon Dyson became famous | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
as leading English competitors in which sport? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Robert Rock and Simon Dyson became famous | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
as leading English competitors in which sport? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Um, I don't think it's boxing. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Um... I think it might be cycling. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
OK. Cyclists, Robert Rock and Simon Dyson. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Well, I'm sure they both own bikes. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
I'm sure they do a bit of cycling, they're fit guys. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
But it's not the right answer. Dave? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-They're golfers. -Golfers. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Oh! -OK, well, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
best possible start for you, Dave. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
You have one and Judith is on zero. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
So, will you go two up? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
In the northern hemisphere, thoroughbred racehorses | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
all have their official birthday on the first of which month? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
It's not something that I know. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
But I've got the vague recollection that there are January sales | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
on racehorses, so I shall go with January. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
January. First of January is the right answer. Well done. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Well done, Dave. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
All right, Judith. You need this. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
How old was Anita Lonsbrough when she won gold | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
in the 200 metres breaststroke at the 1960 Olympic Games. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
I think swimmers tend to be young when they're at their best. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
So I'm going to say 19. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
That is correct. OK. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Well, Dave, you can get through if you give me a correct answer here. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
How many times did the driver Jack Brabham win | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
the Formula 1 World Championship? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
He's a bit even before my time. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
But I think it was four. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
OK, four for a place in the final round. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
It's on hold. That's incorrect. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Three. Three is the answer we're looking at. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
Any Eggheads supply me with the dates? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
'59, '60, '66. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
'59, '60 and '66 from Kevin. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
All right. Well, Judith, you're back in it | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
if you get one here. The announcement that London had won | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
the 2012 Olympics was made at an IOC meeting in which country? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
I think that was Singapore. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
It was. That is the right answer. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Judith coming back with a wet sail. She's coming back at you, Dave. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
You're into sudden death now. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
That means you will not see any more options until we sort out a winner. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
On a standard dartboard, Dave, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
the five lies between the twenty and which other number? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
Is there a dartboard in the Canal Tavern? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
There is but I haven't played darts for many years. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
But, crossing my mind, I think it's twelve. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-The twelve, it's right. Well done. -Hooray! -Well done, Dave. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
Well remembered. Judith, you need this. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
was born in 1861 in which country? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
I think he was born in Canada. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
He was. That's the right answer. Tricky one that. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Another pair of questions. Dave, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
which former tennis player, a three-times | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Wimbledon Ladies' Singles champion, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
became an ordained minister in 1991? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
This is something that's passed me by. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Um, I'm trying to think of players who won three times. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:25 | |
-I would say Margaret Court. -It's the right answer, Dave. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
-Yes! -Well done. -Well done, Dave. -Excellent. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Well, you're right back on form | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
after that slip up on your third question. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Judith also showing some sparkling form. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
And your question. Which Northern Irish footballer | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
started his managerial career in 1987 at Grantham Town FC? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
The only Northern Irish one I know is George Best. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
I don't think he got as far as being a manager. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Um... I don't know. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
Ryan Giggs... Is he Northern Irish? | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
-That was my answer. -That's your answer. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-I thought you were asking me a question. -I was. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Which I was not going to answer, if you were fishing for help. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
So you've gone for Ryan Giggs, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
the proud and long-serving Welsh player. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-LAUGHS -So, it wouldn't be him, then. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
-It wouldn't be him. -No. -I've no idea. -No. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
We'll ask the Eggheads. I'm sure you'll know. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-Martin O'Neill. -Martin O'Neill. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Martin O'Neill. Which means, Dave, you're through to the final round. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-Hooray! -Well played. Very, very good round. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Come back and join your teams. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
After two rounds, both teams have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
Interesting, isn't it, that if you're called Dave | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
in this game, it seems that you're going to win your head-to-head? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Which might be something worth bearing in mind, Taverners, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
as you make your selection for Arts & Books. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
You've got David there still able to play. Arts & Books | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-our next round. -Who'll do Arts & Books? -I think it's you, David. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-It's going to be me, is it? -I think it is, yeah. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-Right! I have read a book, that helps. -It's a start. -One or two. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
-Who are we going to have? -Dave and Judith have played. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
So you've got Kevin, Chris or Daphne. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-Any ideas? -Chris. -Yeah, I think Chris. -Um... -Do you think Chris? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
-Yeah. -I'll play Chris, Dermot. -All right. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
We'll have David and Chris into the Question Room. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
So, David, you're in a band. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
-Yes, I am, Dermot. -You played at the Paralympics ceremony near you. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
Yeah, I was really fortunate. We had the Paralympics | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
in the Recreation Ground in Bath. It was a big celebration, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
torch display and, amongst the showers, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
we got to get on the stage and play. It was great fun. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-You dodged in and out of all that rain that was around. -Absolutely. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
OK. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
I think I'll go first, please, Dermot. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Best of luck. Which 19th-century novel begins | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
in the English seaside village of Black Hill Cove? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Which 19th-century novel begins | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
in the English seaside village of Black Hill Cove? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Well, um... | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
It doesn't ring a bell with me. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
The Time Machine, I'm familiar more with that book. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
And that really is more... That's later, that's much later than that. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
The Call Of The Wild, I think I read that when I was younger. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
It's more about the forests of America or wherever. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
So I'm going to go for Treasure Island. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-It's Treasure Island. It's the right answer. -Well done. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
And, Chris, your first question. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
In what year was the first of Michael Bond's | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Paddington Bear books published? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
In what year was the first of Michael Bond's | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Paddington Bear books published? | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
It doesn't go back as far as 1918. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
But the classic series narrated by Michael Hordern | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
was on television long before 1998. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
So the books must have been first published in 1958. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
They were. Well done, Chris. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
And, David, which 20th-century artist is reputed to have said, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
"I don't paint nature, I am nature"? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Right. Um... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Well, Lucien Freud I'm familiar with from lots of nude reclining ladies, | 0:14:19 | 0:14:25 | |
if that's the right person in my head. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Andy Warhol is more kind of abstract. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Sort of visual images. And Jackson Pollock's... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
I don't know. He might have felt he was more with nature. I don't know. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
For no other reason than I can't picture | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-his pictures having any image, I'm going for Jackson Pollock. -OK. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-And you've got it. It is the right answer. Well done. -Excellent. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
Chris, in Edvard Munch's painting The Scream, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
housed at the National Gallery in Oslo, | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
how many people appear on the bridge in addition to the person screaming? | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
They're up in the top left-hand corner, aren't they? There's two. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
You're good at visualising it. It's the right answer. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
Yeah, two. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
Well, some good answers so far from both players. David, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Invective Against Swans is a poem by which American Modernist writer? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
Well, I don't know any of the names in front of me. Um... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
Marianne Moore, Frank O'Hara, Wallace Stevens. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
So this is absolutely going to have to be a complete guess. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Um, and I'm going to have to go for | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Wallace Stevens. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
OK. A complete guess. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
One in three. And it's in. You got it. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-Well done, Dave. -You landed it. Wallace Stevens. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
So, Chris, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
the Canadian Edward Burtynsky became famous in which field? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
I don't think he was a choreographer, so it's not choreography. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
There have been some good photographers come out of Canada | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
like Karsh in Ottawa. But I don't think he was a photographer. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-I'll go with sculpture. -OK. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
He was famous in the field of sculpture, a sculptor, you think. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-Other Eggheads, you look a little... -I would have gone for photography. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
They would've tended towards photography. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
And that is the answer we needed. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-Hooray! -Photography, which means | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
more great news for the Taverners. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
The tide's really turned. You are through, David. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-See what I said? -Hooray! -Well done, David. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
Two Daves and a David through now in the final round. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
Please come back and join your teams. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
It's going very nicely for the Taverners at the moment. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Two Eggheads have gone, one Taverner. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
And our next subject, last one before the final round, is Politics. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
We've got... An intake of breath I hear. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
..Tim or Lee there. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
It will have to be me, Dermot, because our tactic | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-was to leave Lee until the end, so... -All right. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-Politics. -I said about the Dave effect. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Your middle name isn't David, is it? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
-Sadly not, no. -You can borrow it. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-Who would you like to pick from the Eggheads? -I think Daphne, please. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-Daphne, well, she's got two of those letters from Dave. -Exactly. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
Dav... Dave-ne... Tim and Daphne, into the Question Room, please. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
Well, Tim, victory here would really tip the balance in your favour. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Would you like to go first or second, Tim? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
I think first, Dermot. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
All right. First question. In the US, what name is given to states | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
in which voters are equally likely to return | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
a Democrat or a Republican candidate? | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
In the US, what name is given to states | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
in which voters are equally likely to return | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
a Democrat or a Republican candidate? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
I'm going to go for swing states | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
on the basis that I don't think it's either of the other two. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Exactly. Yes, it's the right answer. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Swing states. And, Daphne, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
whose autobiography, published in 2012, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
is entitled Interventions: A Life In War And Peace? | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Whose autobiography, published in 2012, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
is entitled Interventions: A Life In War And Peace? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
Oh, dear. It passed me by. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
Um, it's not Tony Blair. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
But the other two, they're both logical. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:34 | |
Um... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
George Bush. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Am I wrong? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
-You're wrong. -Oh! | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
-Kofi Annan. -Kofi Annan. United Nations. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
-Interventions. -I was thinking about that but... Oh, well. -Oh, dear. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
Well, that's a great start, Tim. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
It's what you wanted. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
And second question. Which political figure married | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Louise Shackelton in 1998? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
I'm pretty sure it wasn't David Miliband. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
George Osborne? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-I'm going to go for George Osborne. -George Osborne. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
No, it's not. Daphne? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-It must be David Miliband. -Yeah. It was the one you ruled out first. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
David Miliband married Louise Shackelton in 1998. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Daphne to make amends if she gets this. Who was British prime minister | 0:19:33 | 0:19:39 | |
at the time of the 1929 Wall Street Crash? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Ramsay MacDonald. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
Ah, yes. And you know you've got that as well, don't you? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
You know your prime ministers. That's correct. Ramsay MacDonald. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
It's all square. Tim, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
in 2009, Professor David Nutt | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
was dismissed from his position as a government adviser on what? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
Um... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Difficult one. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
Drugs. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
I'm going to drugs on this one, Dermot. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Drugs. The right answer. Yes. Well done. OK. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
Well, you need this, Daphne. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Ann Widdecombe was shadow home secretary | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
under which Conservative leader? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Oh, crumbs. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Um... It's not Michael Howard. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
But I can't work out which one it is of the other two. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Sorry, team. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
-Iain Duncan Smith. -Iain Duncan Smith with | 0:20:53 | 0:20:58 | |
Ann Widdecombe shadowing the Home Office, you think for him? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-No? -It's William Hague. -Oh! | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
Well... | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
We'll have to look at that scoreboard again. Look at that. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
You don't see that very often against Daphne. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-One out of three, Daphne. -Uh-huh. Na-na-na-na. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
That's a fail. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Dear me. Well done, Tim. You're in the final round. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Knocked Daphne out. Would you both come back and join your teams? | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
Well, this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Those of you who lost those head-to-heads | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
So, Frances from the Taverners and Judith, Daphne and Chris | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
So, Tim, Dave, Lee and David, you're playing to win the Taverners £9,000. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something which money can't buy, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
So, Taverners, the question is, are your four brains | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
better than the Eggheads' two? Taverners, would you like | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-to go first or second? -What are we going to do? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-First. -First? -First, yes. First, please. -First, please. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
Kicking off, the Taverners. First question is this. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
The world's longest fence | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
was erected in Australia to protect sheep from which creature? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
The world's longest fence | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
was erected in Australia to protect sheep from which creature? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-Definitely dingo. -I don't think it was koalas. -Koalas would climb over. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-I've never been savaged by a koala. -Dingo sounds more like it. -Dingo. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
-Yeah. -We agree on dingo, Dermot. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
Not the marauding wombats and savage koalas? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
-It is dingo. -Unlikely, we feel. -Dingo is correct. Good start. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Eggheads, in which board game does a piece become a king | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
if it reaches the other side of the board? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
In which board game does a piece become a king | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
if it reaches the other side of the board? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-Draughts, isn't it? -Yeah, draughts. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
It's not backgammon. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
It's not chess. It's got to be draughts. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
-That is... OK? -Yeah, got to be. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
That's draughts. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
Draughts. Right answer, Eggheads. Second question | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
for both teams. Taverners, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
who wrote and recorded the early 1970s track Smoke On The Water, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
which tells of the band's experiences | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
of a fire near Lake Geneva? | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
Who wrote and recorded the early 1970s track Smoke On The Water | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
about the band's experiences of a fire near Lake Geneva? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
My two music experts say it's definitely Deep Purple. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:42 | |
Deep Purple with Smoke On The Water is the right answer. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Eggheads, in the 1920s, what type of hat | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
became part of the costume of some Bolivian women? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
In the 1920s, what type of hat | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
became part of the costume of some Bolivian women? | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
-It's the bowler, isn't it? -You happy with that? OK. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
You see the market women, or pictures of them, Andean peasants. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
-They wear the bowler. I believe that's the bowler. -The bowler hat. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
So it's another pair of questions for the teams. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Taverners, in the 1420s, the astronomer Ulugh Beg | 0:24:16 | 0:24:22 | |
built a famous observatory in which city? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
In the 1420s, the astronomer Ulugh Beg | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
built a famous observatory in which city? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
First name's U-L-U-G-H. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
And then B-E-G for the surname. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
U-L-U-G-H B-E-G. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
-Ulugh Beg. -Alexandria had the kind of... There is a building there, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
-which is... -Library. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
But the name sounds to me more... | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-..more further east. -Samarkand. -Yeah. The Beg. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
-I don't think it's Samarkand. -I don't think Constantinople. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
I don't know. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
I don't really know. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
No. This isn't very much help, is it? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
-I would go with Alexandria. -You're in the box seat, Lee. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
I don't know. Let's have a vote. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
What do you think? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Um... | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
I don't know. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
We've got Alexandria, Constantinople or Samarkand. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
-I don't think it's Samarkand. -Samarkand. -Dave says Samarkand? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
-The name sounds.... -With Beg with Constantinople? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
Constantinople's more kind of central to the world. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
-Samarkand. -The end of the Crusade period. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
It seems the obvious choice if it isn't the right answer. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
-That's all I'd say. -Yeah. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
-What would you like me to say? -We don't know. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
Well, we don't know, Dermot, as you can gather. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
I'm for Alexandria. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
You're for Constantinople? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
I favour that to Constantinople but without knowing why. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
-Constantinople, possibly. -OK. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
We're going to go for Constantinople. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Constantinople. Always interesting to see if the Eggheads know. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
-Is it Constantinople? -Samarkand. -It's Samarkand. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
-You were right, Dave. -Our initial answer. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
That was your initial response. Then it ended up third on the list. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
Samarkand for Ulugh Beg. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
So a chance for the Eggheads to win the game. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
The journalist Suzy Menkes joined the International Herald Tribune | 0:26:32 | 0:26:37 | |
in 1988, specialising in which field? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
The journalist Suzy Menkes | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
joined the International Herald Tribune | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
in 1988, specialising in which field? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Just to make sure I've got the right Suzy. I think I've heard of her. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
-M-E-N-K-E-S? -Yeah. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
-Is it fashion? -I think she's a fashion journalist, yeah. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
I'm not... I'll just have a think about it | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
because I'm not certain. It's not sport. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
Um... Yeah. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
I think it's fashion. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
We're not 100% on this. We think it's fashion. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yeah. -Suzy Menkes joined | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
the International Herald Tribune | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
in 1988 to specialise in fashion. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
It's right. Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Kevin, there's another side to you. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
You read the International Herald Tribune fashion pages. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-Well, I mean, look. -Exactly, you're right. -Speaks for itself. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
It does. Taverners, I want to concentrate on your performance. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
It was a fantastic performance. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
The balance in the final round tells us, four of you against two of them, | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
you did well in those head-to-heads but couldn't press home | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
that advantage in the final round where the money is won and lost. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
Thank you for playing the Eggheads today. I'm sure they'll be | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
converging on you en masse for that quiz at the Canal Tavern some day. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
They'll be buying the drinks after that. They owe you that. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £9,000, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
which means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
