0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the county.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain -
0:00:31 > 0:00:32they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Sages of Gateshead.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of colleagues all work for
0:00:39 > 0:00:40the Gateshead Library Service,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42so let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Hello. I'm John.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm 54 and I'm a library systems officer.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 48 and I'm a Central Services librarian.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Beryl. I'm 52
0:00:53 > 0:00:54and I'm a librarian.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Michael. I'm 40. I'm a librarian.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm JB. I'm 56
0:01:00 > 0:01:03and I'm the reference and local history manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Sages.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That's quite a billing to live up to, that team name -
0:01:08 > 0:01:10the Sages of Gateshead.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Yes.- Tell me about it, how you got the team name.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15If I didn't want to tempt fate,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I would say that we were trying to sound clever.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20But in fact I don't, so...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I'll say that it's based on an iconic building
0:01:23 > 0:01:24in Gateshead -
0:01:24 > 0:01:27the Sage concert hall.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29OK. Well, listen, let's play this quiz, then.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:32 > 0:01:35for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41So Sages of Gateshead, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Well done, Eggheads.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Which means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52And we'll start the quiz off with a round on Sport.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Please pick a player to take on a Egghead.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56This one's got to be... got to be Simon.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Simon.- Simon.- Yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01OK, Simon, and choose your Egghead.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hmm, um... I'll be chauvinistic here
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and probably choose Judith, unfortunately.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08All righty.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Opening round. It's going to be Simon and Judith playing Sport.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17OK, Sport. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I'll go first.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Good luck, Simon. Here's your first question.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26At the 2010 French Open,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Francesca Schiavone became the first female tennis player
0:02:29 > 0:02:32from which country to win a Grand Slam singles title?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37It's not Switzerland because it's, um...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the Swiss Miss...
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Henin, was it? No.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I've forgotten her name,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44the Swiss Miss, I forgot her name.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It's certainly not Belgium,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49because... I forgot her name as well,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52but I know the Belgians have won the Grand Slams.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- It'll be Italy.- OK.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, of all the names you forgot, at least you remembered this one.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Francesca Schiavone - Italian, yes. The right answer.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Judith, the boxer Chad Dawson,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08who won the WBC light heavyweight title in April 2012
0:03:08 > 0:03:10is known by what by-name?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Um...Mad?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK. Mad Chad Dawson, can see it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21But it's Bad Chad Dawson.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, unlucky. Means Simon has a lead
0:03:24 > 0:03:27which can grow bigger if he gets this.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31In 2011, the German former international footballer
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Jupp Heynckes became manager of which club?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Ooh...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43German football isn't my strong point.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Don't think it's Bayern Munich.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Um...
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'm going to have a mad...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Teutonic guess at Werder Bremen.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58You mad Teutonic guesser, you!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We had "mad" in the last answer, which was incorrect.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05This one's incorrect as well, I'm afraid.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- It is Bayern Munich.- Oh, dear!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, Judith, chance to catch up.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12In betting, the traditional Spring Double
0:04:12 > 0:04:14is made up of the Grand National at Aintree
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and which other race, run at Doncaster?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, the St Leger is certainly not in the spring.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's in September.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I think it's the Lincoln Handicap.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Yes, it is. Well worked out, Judith.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So you have drawn level
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and everything to play for, Simon.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What is the real first name of the American golfer
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Bubba Watson, the winner of the 2012 US Masters?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Um...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Guesswork...I'll go Geoff.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Geoff Watson. Geoff Bubba Watson.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54It's Gerry.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Gerry.- Me dad will kill us!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Is he the golfer in your family?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02The golfer in the family, yeah.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, Judith still has to get this if you're to lose it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Judith, at the 2011 World Cup,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11which Indian cricketer, having scored 362 runs
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and taken 15 wickets,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15received the Player of the Tournament award?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Oh, gosh!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, I don't think it's Zaheer Khan,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27because that sounds a more Pakistani name.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Um...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I don't know. The middle one - Yuvraj Singh.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You've gone down the middle.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Simon should have done...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38And you've got it! You've won it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Bad luck, Simon.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You can tell you know about your sport.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Just had a guess at a couple there
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and they didn't go in for you. It means Judith has won
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and is playing in the final round. No place for you.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, after that round, it means the Sages of Gateshead
0:05:56 > 0:05:59have lost one brain from the final round. Eggheads are all there,
0:05:59 > 0:06:00but of course only one round gone.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Next one, then, is Arts & Books.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Who's going to take this one on from the Sages?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07THEY CONFER
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Do you want to...?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12- I don't mind.- I mean, do you...?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Shall I?- Go on, Beryl.- Go on! - OK, I'll go for that one.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18All right, Beryl, and choose your Egghead.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It just can't be Judith. Any of the other four, though.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I think I'd like to challenge Barry,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25because I like his shirt!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31OK, it's going to be Barry and Beryl into the Question Room, please.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Beryl, I like this fact I've been told about you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You ran a lap with Usain Bolt - well, not quite, I know!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Just beat him by a nose, didn't you?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- And you were wearing your heels! - I was indeed!
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I was very, very lucky. A stadium of 80,000 people
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and I actually got to shake his hand.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Tell me about that. So you won tickets to go and see the final,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53which is good enough in anybody's book,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56but then you got to shake his hand. How did that happen?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I really don't know. I'm one of the luckiest people on earth.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'm hoping that my luck will hold up today.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Did you force your way to the front or did you have front-row seats? - I had front-row seats.- Lucky you!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- He picked you out?- Of course he did!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Was that a high five or a handshake? - It was a high five.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12That'll do!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I bet you haven't washed that hand since.- Absolutely not!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17OK, right, and you hope that luck carries through
0:07:17 > 0:07:20to this round of Arts & Books. Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I think I'd like to go second.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, Barry, your first question.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32In the 1871 portrait popularly known as Whistler's Mother,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34the subject is depicted doing what?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I think Whistler's Mother a rather severely dressed lady, in all black,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43and she is sitting on a chair.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Sitting on a chair is the right answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49OK, Beryl, your first question.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50The play Hedda Gabler
0:07:50 > 0:07:53was written by a writer of what nationality?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Hmm, right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'm really not sure about this one.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hedda Gabler...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Um...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It doesn't sound Italian.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Um...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I don't think it's Russian, so I'm going to go with Norwegian.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Good on you, Beryl - it's the right way to go.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Written by... Barry?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Is it Henrik Ibsen?- Yes, it is.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's only out of interest anyway.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Barry's second question.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26What was the former name of the theatre
0:08:26 > 0:08:29that since a major redevelopment in 2006
0:08:29 > 0:08:31has been known as Northern Stage?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, this is one I've missed.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Er...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I really don't know, so this is going to be a guess.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Northern Stage.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47They're all northern cities, so that doesn't really help me much.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Northern Stage...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Right, I'll go for Liverpool Everyman.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- We had a team from there on, didn't we, Barry?- We did indeed.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I didn't hear them saying it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well, you never know!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's the wrong answer
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and Beryl did very well to keep a straight face there, didn't you?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Is it in Newcastle?- I would have got that one!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Of course you would! How many times have you been there?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Lots and lots!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yeah, a lovely theatre.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's a pity you didn't get that question. But he didn't get it,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17so it kind of evens out.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You would have swallowed that one so easily.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It means you do have a chance for the lead here
0:09:23 > 0:09:24if you get this.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Which of these famous artists was a contemporary of Claude Monet?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Again, I'm not 100% about this one.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Um...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I don't think it was Rembrandt.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Um...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm not sure between Renoir and Rubens.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44But I'm going to go for Rubens.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45OK, Rubens.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49You're a librarian, obviously better with the written side of this.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51LAUGHTER
0:09:51 > 0:09:54And it's not Rubens.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55It is Renoir.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's all square. Barry's third question.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Barry, Dean Moriarty is a character in which American novel?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Dean Moriarty is a Steinbeck character,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11which rules out F Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15And he's not in East Of Eden. He's in On The Road.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Yes, he is. On The Road is correct.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So well done, Barry.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You have a lead, and Beryl, you need this, then.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27How is the young woman Dorothy Hare in the title of a novel
0:10:27 > 0:10:29by George Orwell?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Um...seems an obvious answer,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40but it may be completely off track,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43but I'm going to go for A Gamekeeper's Wife.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44OK.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I had a sinking feeling as I heard you doing that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Barry, you're shaking your head. - No, she's A Clergyman's Daughter.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Aw!- That is the answer we needed to hear - A Clergyman's Daughter.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Which means bad luck, Beryl -
0:10:57 > 0:11:00it looked good for you for just a moment or two
0:11:00 > 0:11:03with that Newcastle Playhouse question,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06but it means that Barry is through to the final round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Well, the Sages of Gateshead
0:11:10 > 0:11:12have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14The Eggheads all still standing.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Our next subject, then, is Geography.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Who'd like to do this one for us from the Sages - Geography?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You went for it before, didn't you?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Yeah, I think if you're good at geography...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Definitely.- OK - JB?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- JB.- Choose your Egghead. Barry and Judith have played
0:11:31 > 0:11:34from there, so you have Chris, Pat or Kevin.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I'll choose Pat, if I may.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38You may.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Pat looking delighted(!)
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So JB and Pat into the Question Room, then.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Now, JB, you've travelled quite a lot. Done a trek in the Himalayas, things like that?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Yes, that really was a lifetime's ambition.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I had a friend who did business out there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with him
0:11:58 > 0:12:02and we trekked in the Himalayas out on the Tibetan border,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04which was fabulous.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, well, I hope you kept your eyes open and took notes out there
0:12:07 > 0:12:10in case anything from that region comes up in this Geography round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'd like to go first if that's all right, thank you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19OK, JB, first question is this.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Which of these US states is landlocked?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Which of these US states is landlocked?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Right. Um...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Well, I'm pretty certain it's not Florida,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37because that does seem to have a large sea coast.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43Maine, up on the northeast coast again, I'm sure.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Um...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I would plump for Kansas for that one.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Ah, Kansas.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Is the right answer, of course it is. Well done.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Pat, Samsun in Turkey Mangalia in Romania
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and Burgas in Bulgaria
0:13:03 > 0:13:05are coastal resorts on which body of water?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I think with those three countries, it would have to be the Black Sea.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yes, it would rather, wouldn't it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK, both eased into this round.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Let's ratchet it up a bit now.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21JB's second question.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Which Australian state capital
0:13:23 > 0:13:26stands at the mouth of the River Derwent?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Which Australian state capital
0:13:30 > 0:13:32stands at the mouth of the River Derwent?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'm afraid it is going to be a guess.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And I'm going to go for...
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Adelaide.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Adelaide for the River Derwent.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Um...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45No, it's not.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Pat, do you know it?- It's Hobart. - It's Hobart, yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Tasmania.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53OK.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Pat's second question.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Quezon City is the former capital of which country?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Quezon City - Q-U-E-Z-O-N -
0:14:04 > 0:14:07is the former capital of which country?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Er, it... It's on Luzon Island,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15a bit north of Manila, so it's in the Philippines.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19You demonstrated by that that you know it well. It's the right answer,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22so you have a lead and JB needs this one.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24The African peaks known in English
0:14:24 > 0:14:27as Mount Speke, Mount Baker and Mount Stanley
0:14:27 > 0:14:30are on or near the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo
0:14:30 > 0:14:32and which other country?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37That IS difficult.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Again, I'd have loved to have travelled to Africa
0:14:39 > 0:14:41to have explored these places,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45but it isn't a continent that I have ever visited.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Um...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51My hunch is probably
0:14:51 > 0:14:54to go towards Uganda.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58So I'm going to eliminate Zambia and I'm going to eliminate Tanzania
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and I'm going to hope I'm right and plump for Uganda.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So just relying on your basic knowledge of African geography,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09you're trying to picture where the Democratic Republic of Congo is
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and its borders...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14And its mountainous border with Uganda.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's the right answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Well, well done, but you need to
0:15:20 > 0:15:23survive this to have a hope of getting into the final round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Pat, the city of Cartagena,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28in which country, has a port and monuments
0:15:28 > 0:15:30that have been made a World Heritage Site?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's one of these Spanish names,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38like Valencia or Cordoba,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41that pop up both in the old world and the new world.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46But the best-known Cartagena I can think of is in Colombia.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Well, I think we have seen a very assured performance there.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I know the outcome. I'm going to tell you that that is correct.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Pat really knowing his onions there when it comes to Geography.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57It's correct, and puts you through to the final round.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well, unlucky up to this point, Sages of Gateshead.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06You've lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The Eggheads haven't lost any, so this is your last chance to get rid of one of them.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Banish them to the quiet of the Question Room
0:16:12 > 0:16:15during the final round. This is Film & Television.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16There are two players available,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18who are Michael and John.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Michael.- I think Michael.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Definitely Michael.- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24OK, you can have Kevin or Chris.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Chris, please.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28OK, that was nice and simple.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's have Michael and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK, Michael, we'll give you the choice - we always do -
0:16:36 > 0:16:38would you like to go first or second?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Second, please.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Putting Chris in first.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Chris, you've got this set.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Here's the question.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51In the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52which actor plays Gavin?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57That's Mathew Horne.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yes, it is. That's correct.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Straight over to you, Michael.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05What were the Hairy Bikers renamed in their 2012 TV series
0:17:05 > 0:17:07on cooking and losing weight?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Yes, that was a good change of title. It was very apt as well.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18But they do like a snack, but it wasn't the Hairy Snackers.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I do know it was the Hairy Dieters.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Yeah, I think jogging would have been going too far for them!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Hairy Dieters is the right answer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And Chris, during the mid-1990s,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately
0:17:33 > 0:17:35starred in which medical TV drama series?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Kevin Whately, better known as Lewis.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45That was in Derbyshire - Peak Practice.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yes, it was.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49That's correct, Chris. You have two.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50And Michael...
0:17:50 > 0:17:54During the 1980s, Nicola Freeman, played by Gabrielle Drake,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57worked in which soap opera establishment?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Um, not sure about this one.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So I'll have to guess a bit.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I don't think it was the Woolpack in Emmerdale.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Um...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I haven't heard of the Kabin.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- But I'll try the middle one - Crossroads Motel, please.- OK.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I just love the phrasing of that question -
0:18:17 > 0:18:19isn't that an elegant way of putting it? You could have said,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23"Which soap opera - Emmerdale, Crossroads or Coronation Street?"
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and you knew them all, but you had to do a little bit of extra work
0:18:25 > 0:18:29and you still got the right answer. Well done. Crossroads Motel.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33So it's all square again. Chris, third question.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36The actress born Gladys Smith in Toronto
0:18:36 > 0:18:38in 1892
0:18:38 > 0:18:40became better known by what stage name?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Hmm...1892.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Not Mary Pickford - she was American.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Um...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Louise Brooks was fairly notorious,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57but I think I'll go with Lillian Gish.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK, Lillian Gish.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Chris, always barking up the wrong tree,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04because it is Mary Pickford.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Hmm!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Who WAS Canadian.- Oh, she was?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So that's good news
0:19:11 > 0:19:15and just requires Michael to administer the killer blow here.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17This gets you through to the final round, Michael.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Helen Mirren's first nomination for an Academy Award
0:19:21 > 0:19:23was for her performance as which queen?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Um...
0:19:30 > 0:19:31I'm not 100% on this one.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I think I'll go for the middle one - Queen Elizabeth.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, Queen Elizabeth I.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's not.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It is, Eggheads?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Queen Charlotte.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Wonderful film, actually. Quite old now, isn't it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50A few years ago, yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- With the now sadly departed... - Nigel Hawthorne.- Nigel Hawthorne
0:19:55 > 0:19:57as George III.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, Queen Charlotte there. Well, a chance gone begging.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It stays all square. We go into Sudden Death,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05removing the options.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Chris, who played a woodwork teacher called Trevor Chaplin
0:20:09 > 0:20:13in the 1980s TV drama series the Beiderbecke Tapes?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17He was married to a character played by Barbara Flynn.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- It was James Bolam.- It was.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21The Likely Lad. James Bolam.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm sure you would have got this.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Your neck of the woods. OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Michael, which actress plays Slim in the 1944 film
0:20:29 > 0:20:32To Have And Have Not and says the line,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?"
0:20:35 > 0:20:39That's Mrs Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I thought you were going to say Mrs Humphrey Bogart -
0:20:41 > 0:20:45that would have given me a problem there!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47But you did say Lauren Bacall, so that's fine.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It is the right answer.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'd love to give you a bonus point.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I won't, but just to display your knowledge.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It was a rhetorical question, because she answered it herself
0:20:59 > 0:21:01with what line - can you remember?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- An approximation?- Er...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04"You just put your lips together and blow."
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Perfect!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10You know your classic movies.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Pity I can't give you another point, but I can't.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14So, on it goes. Chris...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Which Australian-born actress, who appeared in Home And Away
0:21:17 > 0:21:21in the 1990s, received a Golden Globe nomination
0:21:21 > 0:21:24for her performance in the US TV series In Treatment?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Was that Anne Charleston?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28No, it wasn't. Other Eggheads?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Melissa George?- Melissa George.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32OK...
0:21:33 > 0:21:34This will knock him out.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Michael, which Hollywood film actress
0:21:37 > 0:21:40was killed in a plane crash at the age of 33
0:21:40 > 0:21:42in January 1942,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45when returning home from a war bond rally?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I think that was the great Carole Lombard.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53You did really well on that whistling question.
0:21:53 > 0:21:561944, To Have And Have Not.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58This is 1942.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00And Carole Lombard is correct!
0:22:00 > 0:22:01SAGES CHEER
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I see your knowledge of those classic movies
0:22:07 > 0:22:09has really helped you through there.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Michael, you've made it into the final round.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14No place for Chris. Would you please come back and join your teams.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It's time for the final round,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:24 > 0:22:26won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30So, Simon, Beryl and JB from the Sages of Gateshead
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37So, John and Michael,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40you're playing to win the Sages of Gateshead £13,000.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:22:43 > 0:22:44which money cannot buy -
0:22:44 > 0:22:46it's the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So, the Sages of Gateshead,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59John and Michael, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01We'll go second, please.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's the Eggheads in first, so this is your question.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10What type of garment is a tabard?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What type of garment is a tabard?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Sleeveless top?- Yes.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Sleeveless top.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22We believe that's a sleeveless top.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Sleeveless top is correct, Eggheads.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Sages, your first question.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Little Jack Horner, isn't it? - I was going to say that.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44"Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his curds and whey."
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- "Along came a spider and sat down beside..."- Ah, no -
0:23:47 > 0:23:48sat down beside HER.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Must be Little Miss Muffet.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52THEY LAUGH
0:23:52 > 0:23:54"Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet"
0:23:54 > 0:23:56BOTH: "Eating her curds and whey
0:23:56 > 0:23:58"Along came a spider and sat down beside her
0:23:58 > 0:24:00"And frightened Miss Muffet away."
0:24:00 > 0:24:04After conferring, we've decided it's Little Miss Muffet.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Phew!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Lucky you got your tuffet there.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- You were nearly in the corner with Jack Horner!- We were!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12That was close - it's the right answer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Heavens knows...if you'd gone Bo Beep and her sheep.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18All right, you got it in the end.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Nice of you to say it out loud!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22You got your team-mates chuckling in the background there.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Well done.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Eggheads, what is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Conspicuously bad?
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Yes.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39That is conspicuously bad.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Conspicuously bad.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45As that answer wasn't.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47OK, John and Michael, second question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49The Reverend John Flynn,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56was the founder of which organisation?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03The Reverend John Flynn,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10was the founder of which organisation?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I haven't a clue!
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Since he's on a bank note, it's perhaps most likely to be the bank?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I wouldn't think the cricket club's important enough.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Could be the Flying Doctor Service...- Yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31So...
0:25:31 > 0:25:32What do we think?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Possibly...
0:25:34 > 0:25:35the bank wouldn't...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37honour its own.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I think I'd go with the middle one.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42The middle one.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Yeah, we're going to plump for the middle one. We really don't know,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48but we'll say Royal Flying Doctor Service.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I heard you say, first reaction, that it would be appropriate
0:25:51 > 0:25:53for it to be from the Reserve Bank,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55given that it's a bank note,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00but in the end, after deliberation, going for the Flying Doctor Service.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's the right answer! Well done.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04All square.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Eggheads, third question.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08In Greek mythology,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16In Greek mythology,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Perseus, isn't it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Think it is, yes.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Pretty certain it is.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25I'm pretty sure it's not Dionysus.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's not Telemachus either.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- He was Odysseus' son.- Yes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Dionysus was a god, so...I suppose he could have killed someone.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- I think it's Perseus. - It must be Perseus.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38We think that was Perseus.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Perseus killed his grandfather with a discus...
0:26:41 > 0:26:42That is correct, Eggheads.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Smetana is a Russian word

0:27:11 > 0:27:13I instantly thought a sausage-type...
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- You don't think it's a sausage? - No, I did.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Right, I don't think it's the fruit cake.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21No.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23So, um...
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Yeah, if you have an instinct for the sausage,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28that, I think...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30is the one I would go towards.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I'm not certain, but...

0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Liver sausage.- Liver sausage.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39OK, crucial question.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49is also Russian for...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51sour cream.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01They're always honest with me, and, as you know,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04usually the challenging teams go first and the Eggheads go second,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06so I just want to see - did you know that about Smetana?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07ALL: Yes.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Just out of interest, just so you know.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Sages of Gateshead, it's been great seeing you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15From the Eggheads' point of view, great quizzing with you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thank you very much indeed for playing, but it wasn't to be.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22and their winning streak continues.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £13,000.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who can beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£14,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
