These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
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 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads! And taking on the might | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
of our quiz Goliaths today are 60 Not Out. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
This team of friends are all associated | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
with Southampton Hospital Radio, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
which recently celebrated 60 years, no less, on air. Let's meet them! | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Hello! I'm Steve. I'm 62 years old, and I'm a retired salesman. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Hello. I'm Neil. I'm 48, and I'm a freelance property developer. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi. I'm Rob. I'm 35, and I'm a civil servant. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 49, and I'm a civil servant. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm Gary. I'm 41, and I'm a section coordinator. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Welcome to you, and congratulations on Southampton Hospital Radio. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
I take it none of you were there right at the beginning. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-He's almost old enough. -I thought about it, but no. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
What do you have on the radio? I mean, is it a broad range of things? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
Oh, yes. Everything from pop music through to football to operas, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
anything you like. We've got a vast library that we pick records from. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
Records! CDs, anything you like. DERMOT LAUGHS | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-And do you have a quiz on it? -We have had a quiz on it. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
We are the champions against BBC Radio Solent. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
We beat them, and we've got a clock to say so. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Oh, right! You might get a bit more than a clock here | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
if you manage to beat the Eggheads. Every day there's £1,000 | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
However, If they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
So, 60 Not Out, the Eggheads have won just the last game, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Can you knock an Egghead out on our first category, History? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Who'd like to play this? History. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-It's not going to be me. -How about you, Steve? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Apparently, how about me, Steve? THEY LAUGH | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
How about you, Steve, and how about an Egghead to play, then? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
-I've got to go for Daphne. I love Daphne. -Oh! | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-We all love Daphne. -No, I'm first. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-THEY LAUGH -I'll join the queue. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
It's Steve and Daphne playing the first round. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Into the Question Room, please. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
OK, Steve. Ready to charge into battle against Daphne. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -I was pondering this, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
and the pondering came to first. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
OK. Well, ponder this question, then, Steve. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Which king of England died in 1553 at the age of 15? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
Did I say I love history? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Charles II was doing a certain amount of wandering. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
I think he went off to France in the end. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
George IV is the fourth George. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
That's that. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
And Edward VI... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
I don't know. Edward. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Edward VI. It is Edward VI, yes, of course. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Hurray! -Of course that's Henry VIII's son. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
And, Daphne, the ankh was a symbol representing life | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
in which ancient civilisation? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
A-N-K-H, the ankh or "ankha". | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
That was the Egyptian. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Egyptian is correct. OK. One apiece, and back to you, Steve. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Which historical region was situated | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
on the south coast of the Baltic Sea, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
covering parts of what is now Germany and Poland? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Well, Gaul, I'm led to believe by Asterix, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
was in France. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Pomerania, to my knowledge, is a dog. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Thrace I get the feeling is Greek to a degree, but... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-Thrace! -OK. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
And, yes, Pomeranian dogs, slightly Germanic. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
-It's Pomerania. -Argh! | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
OK. And, Daphne, how many US presidents were there | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
in the 18th century? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Um... Two. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Can you name them? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Um, George Washington | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
and John Adams. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Yes. You didn't need to. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
The extra information doesn't give you any more points, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
but it shows why you're an Egghead. It's two-one to you, then, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
and means Steve needs this. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Which country is generally considered to be the first nation | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
to have formally adopted Christianity as the state religion? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
I thought the first was Rome, the Roman, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
but of those three... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Oh, I like the sound of Armenia. Let's go for Armenia. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Much better. It's the right answer. Yes, well done. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
OK. Still in it, but Daphne needs to mess this one up | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
for you to survive into Sudden Death. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
What name was given to the English and Scottish families | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
who conducted cross-border raids | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
between the 13th and 17th centuries? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
I think they were the Reivers. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Yes, Steve nodding. Knows it's all over there. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
He knew, but it wasn't his question. Daphne's in the final round. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
No place for you, Steve. Please come back and join your teams. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Well, Steve tells me he still loves Daphne | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
in spite of what she just did to him - knocked him out of the game. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
60 Not Out have lost that one brain from the final round. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Our second head-to-head. It's come up as Music. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Now, given what you do, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
I'm sure plenty of you would like to play this. Who's it going to be? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
Looks like they're all looking at me, Dermot. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-Go for it. -OK. And choose an Egghead. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Just remember it can't be Daphne. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-What do you think? -Barry was first choice. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-Yeah? Barry it is, then. -Barry, first choice! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Gary and Barry, into the Question Room, please. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
So, Gary, Music, given the round. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-What type of music do you play on the show? -When I play with Neil, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
we call it Guy Dunbar's Lounge. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Don't ask me why Neil decided on that name, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
but we do. It's a broad range. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Sometimes we pick a theme, so it might be '80s electronic music. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
It might be movie themes. Sometimes we just mix and match, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
-play as we feel. -OK. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-Bit like the selection of questions here - mix and match. -Yeah. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -I'll go first. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Best of luck, Gary. Here's your first question. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
According to a song in The Sound Of Music, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
what are alive with the sound of music? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Wow! If I don't get this right, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
I have a feeling my girlfriend will probably disown me. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
I'd love to say "the nuns" because that just would be very funny, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
but I'm pretty sure it's the hills. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Is your girlfriend Julie Andrews? -THEY LAUGH | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Er, no. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-But a big fan of The Sound Of Music? -Musicals in general, yeah. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
It's the right answer. The hills. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Barry, in her stage name, the singer known as Pink | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |
replaces the letter I with which symbol? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Oh! That's a good question. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Just trying to remember when I last saw her stage name in print. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
It's not an asterisk. I think it's a dollar sign. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
OK. Just kind of flaunting the amount of money she's making | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-out of her fans? -I couldn't possibly comment on that. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
But it's not. It's an exclamation mark replacing the I, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
so it still says "Pink". Well, that's great news, Gary. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
Could be off to a really good start here if you get this. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Which song gave ABBA their second UK number-one single? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Super Trouper definitely is a number one. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Mamma Mia's too old. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
I don't think I Have A Dream made number one. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-I'm going to say Super Trouper. -STEVE GROANS | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
OK. It's incorrect. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-Eggheads? -I think Waterloo was the first number one. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-Mamma Mia was the second number one. -Yeah. Mamma Mia. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
It was Mamma Mia. So, Barry, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
chance should pull it back. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Barry, which song starts with the lines, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
"I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw"? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
I'm just playing this through in my head now, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
and I'm absolutely certain this is Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
It is, yeah. Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves, by... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-Er, was it Cher? -Yeah. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Cher. Right again by the Eggheads. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
It's all square, then, going into a third question for each of you. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
And, Gary, who wrote The One And Only, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
a hit single for Chesney Hawkes in 1991? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Oh... I know it's definitely not Paul Young, | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
cos my mum likes Paul Young. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Strange way of eliminating him, I know. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Cathy Dennis has written for other people, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
but not that early, so I'm going to say | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
'80s icon and legend Nik Kershaw. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
'80s icon and legend! It is indeed Nik Kershaw. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Right, back in the lead. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Gary and Barry, which pianist, who lost an arm in World War I, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
commissioned works for the left hand only | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
by Ravel, Britten and Prokofiev among others? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
He was the brother of the famous philosopher, | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-and it was Paul Wittgenstein. -Oh, I wondered that! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
So, there's the link there. OK. Paul Wittgenstein. Correct. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
Right. Well, it's all square, as you can see there, Gary, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
and we go into Sudden Death and remove the options | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
to make it harder, to sort out a winner. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
This one to you. Which girl group had a UK hit single | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
with Will You Love Me Tomorrow in 1961? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
Singing it in my head - badly, I must admit. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
The Ravelles, as a guess. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
OK. The Ravelles. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
I can see you're on to it. This is one you'd have got from a list. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
But it's not. That's incorrect. You've got the second half of it, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-which gives Barry a bit of a clue. -It was the Shirelles. -Shirelles, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
which means Barry has a chance here to take the round. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Barry, what is the title of the 1986 UK top-ten single | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
for Robert Palmer, that became famous for its video | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
featuring models with slicked-back hair and red lipstick | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
performing as the backing band? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Oh, this is that absolutely iconic video, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
which has subsequently been parodied quite successfully. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
What was the song? Er, I'm not sure. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
I'll go for Dead Ringer For Love. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-DERMOT LAUGHS -Meat Loaf! | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
HE LAUGHS Not quite the same thing, then! | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
Not really. I bet Gary will know. I'll pass his over to you. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-What do you think, Gary? -Er, classic video. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-Addicted To Love. -Addicted To Love. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
So you both knew each other's answer there. Interesting! | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
But on we go. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Gary, the 19th-century opera singer Giuseppina Strepponi | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
married which Italian composer? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
I'm going to have, honestly, no idea, Dermot. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-I really don't know. -Nothing... | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Nothing's even popping vaguely into my brain, I'm afraid. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-OK. So, not hazarding a guess. -No. I will pass. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-OK. Barry? -I'm not sure. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
It's either Puccini or Verdi. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Er, 19th century? That sounds early. I'll go for Verdi. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Yeah. Giuseppi Verdi is what we needed to hear. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
We heard it from Barry but not Gary, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
the relevant person, so this is your question, Barry. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
How We Do (Party) was a number-one single for which artist in 2012? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
-How We Do (Party). -Oh, there have been so many number ones in 2012! | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
But this is one that has passed me by. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-I'll try Rita Ora. -Well done. -Oh! | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
-Brilliant. -Gasps from the Eggheads, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
because you've plucked it out of the air! It's the right answer. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Rita Ora. Bad luck, Gary! | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
I thought we were going to face another pair of questions, but no. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Barry's in the final round. Please come back and join your teams. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
Well, 60 Not Out kind of 58 Not Out now. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
They've lost two brains from the final round. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
The Eggheads haven't lost any. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
Our next subject, third round, is on Science, | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
and three of you remain there. Neil, Rob or Paul? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-You said you wanted this one. -Everyone's looking at me. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-It does depend what the question is. -It does. -It does. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
Go on. You're bright. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
All right, Rob. And pick your Egghead - Pat, Chris or Dave. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I'd go with Dave. He's a nice bloke. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
I'll go with Dave, the thoroughly nice bloke on the end. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-Nice, and tremendously knowledged. -THEY CHATTER | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
We'll see about the tremendously knowledged. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Let's have Rob and Dave into the question room, please. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
Well, Rob, it must be said, those that have gone before you | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
from 60 Not Out haven't had the luck. Let's hope you get some. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -I'll go first, if I could. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
OK. Best of luck, Rob. First question. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
Which scientific process plays an important role | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
in the production of yoghurt? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
Er, well, electrolysis, I'd say no, certainly. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
The fermentation side of things, | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
you look more towards alcohol and the like. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-I'll go with saponification. -OK. Saponification. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-Er, fermentation. -Oh, of course. Silly. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
So, what is saponification, Eggheads? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-It's making soap. -Making soap, apparently. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-Ooh! OK. -Might not taste too good in the yoghurt, then. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
OK. Dave's first question. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
What type of bird is an egret? E-G-R-E-T. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
-I think it's a heron. -It is, yes. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
You have a lead. OK, Rob. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
The first SMS text message, "Merry Christmas", | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
was sent by Neil Papworth in which year? | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
Well, by 1999 I'd had a phone for a number of years, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
so it was before that, certainly. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
1985, I would've thought phones were a little less advanced, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
although the principle was thought of. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
I'm going to risk saying '92. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
OK. 1992. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
It's the right answer, yes. 1992. OK. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Right, Dave. Your second question. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
What age was Lawrence Bragg | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
jointly with his father? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Don't know. Not heard of this at all. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
Um... I'm going to go... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
I'm leaning towards the right. I'll go 45. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
OK. 45 for Lawrence Bragg. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-Lawrence Bragg was actually the other end of that. -25. Fair enough! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
All right. Well, that's great news for you, Rob. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
Still all square, and your third question. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Metis is one of the moons of which planet? M-E-T-I-S. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
I have to be honest, and I'll say straight away that I'm not sure, | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
so it would have to be a guess. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Um... I would lean... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
..towards Saturn, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
for no other reason than, it's in the middle. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
OK. And Metis might be one of its moons. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
It's not, though. Do you know, Dave? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-I'll have to go with Jupiter on that basis. -Jupiter, yeah. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
And then a chance for you to take the round, Dave. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
At room temperature, the element vanadium exists in which state? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
Hmm! I thought it was a solid, | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
but could be very wrong. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
I'll go solid. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
And that's how we can describe your performance, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-in spite of that slip in the middle. -It wasn't that solid, was it? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
Wrong and wrong! | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-More solid than Rob's. -THEY LAUGH | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
It's the right answer, which puts you into the final round. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Bad luck, Rob. Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
Well, 60 Not Out have now lost three brains from the final round. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
The Eggheads haven't lost any. But things can change. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Things MUST change for you. -It would be helpful! | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
You can knock an Egghead out, hopefully, on our last head-to-head. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
It's Sport! | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-And, Neil or Paul, Sport. -Yeah. It's going to be me, Dermot. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
OK, Neil. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Chris or Pat? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-I'll play Chris. -OK. Let's have Neil and Chris into the Question Room. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
Neil, how do you want to play it? Do you want to go first or second? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
Why break the trend? I'll go first. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
You could do with breaking the trend on the outcome, Neil. Off you go. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
First question. The National Hot Rod Association is the governing body | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
of which sport? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
I can't imagine there are too many hot rods in pigeon racing | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
or horse racing, so I've got to say drag racing. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
Yes, right answer. Good start. And, Chris, | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
Victor Ubogu represented England at which sport? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Doesn't ring any bells with cricket. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
The whole name sounds like a great big fella, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
-so I'll say Rugby Union. -He is. He is, yeah. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
It's interesting... He is a great big fella, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
and does play rugby, yes. Rugby Union is the right answer. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
And, er, OK, then, Neil. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
Second question. The Football Association's Centre of Excellence, | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
which opened in 2012, is in which county? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
That is a tough one. Um... | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
It's going to be a complete guess. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Er... I'll say... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
I'll say Warwickshire. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Warwickshire for the Centre of Excellence. Dave? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
It's Staffordshire, near Burton-on-Trent, I think. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
It's Staffordshire, so nothing there. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
And, Chris, | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
which cyclist won Britain's first gold medal | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
at the 2012 Paralympics? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Think back to the Paralympics. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
Was that not Karen Darke? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
-It was not, no. Other Eggheads? -Sarah Storey. -Sarah Storey. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
-Mm-hm. -And it means it's all square as we go into a third question each. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
The American football team which started out as the Boston Braves | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
is now known by what name? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Er...at this point I wish Gary was answering this question, | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
cos he'd have a much better idea than me. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
I'm guessing we're looking at an Indian, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
or a Native American Indian connection, | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
so I think I'll discount the Chicago Bears. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Um, I'll go with the Washington Redskins. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
That's where they went. It's the right answer, yes. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
To Washington. All right! Need this, then, Chris, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
as you well know. Inaugurated in 1966, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
the Sprint Cup is a Group One horse race | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
normally run at which course? | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Er, Lingfield's Sussex. Sandown Park's near Hampton Court. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Haydock's up near Wigan. Um... | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-Lingfield Park. -Lingfield Park. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
No, it's not! And, er, any Egghead, tell me. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
-I think it's Haydock Park. -It's at Haydock Park. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
Which means...you've done it, Neil! You're through to the final round. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-Congratulations. -Thank you. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
And so this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
But those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
won't be allowed to take part, so, Steve, Rob and Gary | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
from 60 Not Out, and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
would you all depart the studio now, please? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
So, Neil and Paul, you're playing to win 60 Not Out £2,000. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
Dave, Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
The questions are all general knowledge. You know that, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
and you are allowed to confer. So, Neil and Paul, the question is, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
And Neil and Paul, do you want to go first or second? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Well, going first has served us pretty well so far, I think, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
so we'll stick with that. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Let's hope it serves you even better in this final round, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
and you can beat the Eggheads. Here's your first question. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
According to the popular saying, it takes two to what? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
According to the popular saying, it takes two to... | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
Well, we're agreed on this one. It's tango. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Yeah. No messing about. You can have a little tango if you win the money. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
Two to tango. Correct. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
And, Eggheads, which French bishop, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
after whom a choux-pastry dessert is named, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
is the patron saint of bakers? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
My first thought would be Saint Honore. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
Eclair is just the French word for lightning, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
so I can't imagine there'd be a bishop called that. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
And Profiterole... No. It's got to be Saint Honore. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Have you ever heard of a pastry called an honore? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
It rings a very vague bell with me, but... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-I've never heard of it. -There can't be a Saint Profiterole. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Go for Saint Honore. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
I've never heard of it. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-No. -OK. Go for that. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
OK. We're uncertain of this, but we're going to go for Saint Honore. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Not Profiterole? Saint Profiterole? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
Well, it sounds as if there ought to be one. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-It is Honore. It's the right answer. -Well done, well done. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
And second question to you, 60 Not Out. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
A ploughshare is what part of a plough? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-I think it's the blade. -So do I. -You think it's the blade? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-Yeah. -We'll go for it. -Another one we're agreed on. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
-We think it's the blade. -The blade... | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
What's that phrase you all know? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
Beating swords into ploughshares. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
It's the right answer, yeah! | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
And, Eggheads, which island lies north of Java | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
on the opposite side of the Java Sea? | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
-Borneo, isn't it? -Has to be Borneo. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-New Guinea is well east of Java, a long way east. -Yeah. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
-It's certainly not Madagascar. -Must be Borneo. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-Sumatra, Java... Yeah. Borneo's... -Borneo. -Borneo? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
-Yeah. That's Borneo. -Borneo. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads. It's all square again. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
And, er, doing really well here, guys, Neil and Paul. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
Third question. Which American writer won a Pulitzer Prize | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
for non-fiction for his book The Armies Of The Night? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
Um, Norman Mailer's more of a novel-writer. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
I'm pretty sure John Updike is as well. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
-So my first instinct is Philip Roth. -Yeah. I... | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
I'm not sure, to be absolutely honest. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
I don't know, but when the answers went up, | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
my first thought was Philip Roth, so, yeah. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
We're not at all sure, but we think it was Philip Roth. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
OK. Philip Roth, the author of The Armies Of The Night. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
It's incorrect. Eggheads? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
-Norman Mailer. -It is Norman Mailer. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
So, a chance for the Eggheads to win the game. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
Which member of the cast of The Great Escape | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
had actually spent time as a prisoner of war, | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
having been shot down while serving with the RAF? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Which member of the cast of The Great Escape | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
had actually spent time as a prisoner of war, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
having been shot down while serving with the RAF? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Well, I don't think it's Richard Attenborough. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
I'm sure we would have heard of this if it had been Richard Attenborough. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
No. Because I can't think of any military... | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
Gordon Jackson probably did serve, didn't he? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Yeah. Sort of military bearing, for what it's worth. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Probably served in a Scottish regiment. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
-I really don't know. -Donald Pleasence? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-It's possible, I suppose. -It is possible, Donald Pleasence. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
For what it's worth, I'm inclined to go for Gordon Jackson. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
-Yeah. I prefer... -You prefer Gordon Jackson? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-Yeah. I think Gordon Jackson. -We certainly don't know this. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
We've got the faintest of feelings it might be Gordon Jackson. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
OK. Interesting what you were saying about Gordon Jackson, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
that he might have served with a Scottish regiment. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
The question says the RAF. You heard it twice. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
-It's Donald Pleasence! -Oh! -Right. Fair enough. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
Well, well, Eggheads - not listening really! | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
It's all square. We go to Sudden Death, so every chance here. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959, | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
is a work by which American playwright? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959... | 0:25:42 | 0:25:47 | |
-Tennessee Williams? -..is a work by which American playwright? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
It sounds like the sort of thing he might write. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
It sounds like his sort of title. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
-I can't think of any other American playwrights, so... -Yeah. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
-Go with Tennessee Williams? -Yeah. -We're out on a limb here, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-but we're going to go with Tennessee Williams. -Right out on a limb, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
hoping it doesn't break off and plunge you into the river below. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
It's the right answer! Tennessee Williams. OK! | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Well, back in the lead, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
and you beat the Eggheads if they don't get this. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
Eggheads, who founded the company | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
which evolved into the English National Opera, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
and ran the Old Vic theatre until her death in 1937? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-Lilian Baylis? -Is it Lilian Baylis? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
-Is that her name? -Yeah. Lilian Baylis. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -OK? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
-We think that's Lilian Baylis. -Is the right answer. Lilian Baylis. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
On we go. Another pair of questions. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Well, let's hope you get closer to the trunk. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
You're not out on a limb with this one. Best of luck. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Who broke into the movie business | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
when Samuel Goldwyn brought him from Broadway to Hollywood | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
to choreograph dance numbers for the 1930 film, Whoopee!? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
I don't think he ever looked like a natural leading man, | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
but I'd go with Fred Astaire. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
I don't know why, but that was the first name I thought of as well, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
so I'm afraid we're still out on a limb, but Fred Astaire. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
-HE LAUGHS -Fred Astaire. OK. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
Well, someone has sawn through it. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
It's not Fred Astaire. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
-Choreographed... That could easily have been Fred Astaire. -Busby... | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
-You're saying it now. A choreographer. -Busby Berkeley. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Yes, Busby Berkeley, or "Barclay", as we might say. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
You got it at the second time of asking, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
but that doesn't count. So, Eggheads, another chance. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
Which Nobel Prize-winning French author was killed | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
in a car accident in January 1960? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
-Albert Camus. -Albert Camus. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
I think he holds the unfortunate record | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
of the shortest gap between his prize and his death. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
-I think it's, er... Albert? -Yeah. -Albert. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
-Albert Camus. -Albert Camus... | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
Well, some great quizzing there. The Eggheads applauding you, | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
because they know how close they were to another defeat. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
Thank you for taking the Eggheads on today. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
Didn't go so well in the head-to-heads, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
but at that point you won through, Neil. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
I said things can change, and look how close you got. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
Thank you for giving the Eggheads a really close game today. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
But they've done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
and still reign supreme over Quiz Land. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
That means the money rolls over to the next show, | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
so congratulations, Eggheads. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
