These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is: can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Taking on our quiz Goliaths today are Credit Where Credit's Due. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:38 | |
This team all work in credit and risk analysis at a stockbroker's in Leeds. Let's meet them. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
Hello. I'm Simon, I'm 31 and a credit risk analyst. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Hi. I'm Kevin, I'm 40 years old and an associate vice president. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Hiya, I'm Sam, I'm 33 and an operational risk analyst. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Hi, I'm David, I'm 29 and a recoveries analyst. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm Jeremy, 49, and a financial crime prevention senior manager. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
Welcome, Credit Where Credit's Due. Well, you might go well into credit if you win today on Eggheads. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:11 | |
-Tell me about your quizzing experience. Have you done much? -We've done a couple of quizzes. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
Well...two. We found one on the internet to do. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
It was on some What's On In Leeds website. So we went along to a pub in Leeds | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
and we said, "Are you ready for the quiz?" There was only four people in. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
He said, "I beg your pardon? We haven't had a quiz for years." | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
So we just played the Post-It note game for the rest of the night. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-Where you write up names? -Yeah, we made our own up. -Fantastic. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
I like to see you've had some good preparation. Maybe we should have a round of that with the Eggheads. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:53 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
If they fail, the prize money rolls over. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
So the Eggheads have won the last six games. You guys can work out | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
that £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
And our first head to head, a chance to knock an Egghead out, is on Music. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
Who'd like to start us off? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
- Is that me? - Your round, Sam. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-That'll be me. -All right, Sam. I can see you're fired up. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-Choose an Egghead. -Take Chris on? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-Yeah, me and Chris. -OK, it's going to be Sam and Chris on Music. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
Both, from the question room, please. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-Sam, would you like to go first or second? -First, please. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
OK, first question. Who, together with the Military Wives, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
won the Classical Brit Award for Single of the Year in 2012? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
I'm not really au fait with classical, so this is a bit hard for me, this one. | 0:02:53 | 0:03:00 | |
Em... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
2012. I don't think it's Paul Potts because he was the... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
Britain's Got Talent winner a few years ago. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
I'm not sure if Katherine Jenkins has done anything recently. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
-I'm going to say Gareth Malone. -Phew! Just as well, yes. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Well done there. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Chris, 2012 was the 50th anniversary of the release of which group's debut UK single? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
1962. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
The Beatles were '63. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
The Who were sort of mod era. That's more '65-ish. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
So it had to be the Rolling Stones. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
OK. It's not the right answer. I'm not sure you maybe listened to the question. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
It's not number one. It's the debut UK single. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-It was in 1962 from... Eggheads? -The Beatles. -And the song was...? | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-Love Me Do. -Love Me Do. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Right, well, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-great news, Sam. -Yeah. -Good start. Can you go two-nil up here? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
Halcyon, released in 2012, is the second album by which female British artist? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:16 | |
Halcyon. Can you spell that, please? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
H-A-L-C-Y-O-N. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Halcyon. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Well, I don't think Emeli Sande's had her second album yet. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
-I'm going to say Ellie Goulding. -Well done! It's the right answer! You're two-nil up. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:38 | |
Well, Chris will go down without a score if he doesn't get this. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
"I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil," are lines from which single by Madness? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:51 | |
That's Driving In My Car, Dermot. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
OK! Are you a bit of a Madness fan? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-I like some of their stuff, yeah. -Driving In My Car is right. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
Chris is still in it | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
and he'll do his damnedest to get back at you. You can prevent that if you get this right, Sam. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
The saxophonist known as Kenny G was born with which surname? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
I just know him as Kenny G! | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Never even heard of this. I'm going to have to... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
I'm going to punt for Gorelick. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
OK. You've gone down the middle... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
..and you're in the final round! It's the right answer! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
Storming performance! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Well-rounded music knowledge there. You're in the final round. Would you both please join your teams? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
Well, the Eggheads always give credit where credit's due. I think they will agree with me | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
that was a textbook performance, Sam. That's the way to do it. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
And our next subject is History. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Who wants to play this? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-That would be me, I think. -OK, right, David. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-Choose your Egghead. -Daphne, please. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
OK, the two Ds, David and Daphne, into the question room, please. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
-So, David, history is your leisure activity, is it? That's what you prefer to read? -Yeah, I do. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:26 | |
I studied it at university. It's gone on from there. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-Do you want to go first or second? -First, please. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Here we go. First question now. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
The ancient region of Canaan was in which area of the world? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Well, I went to Catholic school, so if I get this wrong it would be embarrassing. The Middle East. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
OK, that's your answer and it is correct, so you're not embarrassed. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
Daphne, used by Germany in WWII, what type of machine was the Stuka? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
That was an aircraft. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
I think it had something on it that made a whistle when it dived, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
to frighten people. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
You're the quizzing equivalent of one, I should say! It is the right answer. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
An aircraft. OK, David, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
who was US President when the Russians shot down the U2 spy plane flown by Gary Powers? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:31 | |
I might rule out Kennedy. I think he was slightly earlier. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
I'm going to plump for Nixon. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
OK. No, it's even earlier than Kennedy. It's Eisenhower. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
So a chance for Daphne. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
The Egyptian monarch Akhenaten rejected traditional religion and established a new cult | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |
that worshipped what? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-The Sun, Ra. -The Sun. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
It's right. What would traditional religion have been that he rejected? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:10 | |
Lots of gods. A whole pantheon, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
whereas this was a monotheistic religion. Just the Sun disc. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
-That was it. -That was worshipped. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Daphne got it. You have that lead. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
In which Kent town did Napoleon III die in 1873 | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
during surgery for a bladder stone? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
I don't think I've ever come across that, so it's another guess. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
-I'm going to go with Sevenoaks. -Sevenoaks. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Napoleon III died during surgery in... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
Chislehurst. As you were saying there, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
a complete guess. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
It hasn't worked for you. Daphne is through to the final round. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
Both please come back and join your teams. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
Daphne wreaking her revenge there for the ejection of Chris. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
It's all square now. Both teams have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
So evenly poised. Let's move on to our third head to head. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Arts and Books. Who'd like this one? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-Simon, Kevin or Jeremy? -The one we didn't want! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
-That's me, Dermot. -All right, Kevin. And choose your Egghead. It could be Kevin and Kevin. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
There's two others, Judith and Dave. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-I'd like to take on Dave, please. -OK, Kevin and Dave. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Into the question room, please. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-Kevin, first or second? -I'd like to go first, please. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
OK, Arts and Books. In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, who warns Caesar, "Beware the ides of March"? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:48 | |
OK... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
Unfortunately for me, while I have the complete works of William Shakespeare on a bookshelf, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:58 | |
I've never actually read them! | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
But it's a very famous phrase from that play. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
Given that the nature of soothsaying is predicting the future, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
I'm going to plump for Soothsayer. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
OK. That's the right answer, yes. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
From the Soothsayer. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
The Last of the Mohicans is one of five books by James Fenimore Cooper known collectively by what name? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:26 | |
I've not heard this, but I've got to go The White Trail Tales, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
-out of the options. -I'd never heard of it. Leatherstocking. -Never heard of it. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:44 | |
Is this what they were wearing, other Eggheads? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-Leather gaiters. -Yeah, OK. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
News to me and Dave, anyway. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
That's a great start then again for the challenger. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
Kevin, get this and you're in a commanding position. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Her Fearful Symmetry is the second novel by which best-selling author? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
OK, so this one doesn't jump out at me. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
I've heard of Zadie Smith, heard of Kate Atkinson, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
not heard of Audrey Niffenegger. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
I think... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
I am... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
for no real reason other than I'm most familiar with her name, I'm going to go for Zadie Smith. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:34 | |
OK, Zadie Smith. Her second novel. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
No, not by her. Dave? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-I'd have gone Kate Atkinson. -No! -Wrong. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-It is Audrey Niffenegger. -No point asking me questions today! | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
You know. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
I'm just about to. OK. See how you do with this. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
What was the real name of historical novelist CS Forester? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
I think it's Cecil Smith, but don't trust anything I say | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
in this particular round. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Well, we do trust that. That is the right answer. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Levels it up. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Kevin, in Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence, what is the first name of Lady Chatterley's husband? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
Oh, again, nothing's really jumping out at me. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
I've... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
I've seen some of a previous dramatisation of this on TV. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
I think the one starring Sean Bean. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Given the era when it is set... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
I think I will go for... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Clive. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
OK. I see your thinking there. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Clive...is not the right answer. It is... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-Want a go, Dave? -It's probably Christian. I'll say Clifford. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
No, it is Clifford. I see your psychology there, denying yourself. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
All right, Dave, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
this is a chance to get through here. Which James M Cain novel | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
tells the story of Frank Chambers and Cora Papadakis? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
Right. Sorry, could you repeat the names again, please? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
Frank Chambers and Cora Papadakis. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
I'm going to go for Double Indemnity, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
but again I don't trust what I'm saying at the moment! | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
More likely a tie-break, I think. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
Yes, it is going to be that. The Postman Always Rings Twice. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
So we go to sudden death. All square after three questions. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
We take away the options. Which play by Noel Coward centres on a divorced couple named Elyot and Amanda? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:53 | |
Again, I'm not particularly familiar with Noel Coward's work. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
I'm afraid nothing's jumping out. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
-I can't even give an educated guess. -OK, not familiar with Noel Coward's plays, so not proffering a guess. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:12 | |
-Eggheads? -Private Lives. -So nothing there for Kevin. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
A chance again for Dave. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
In which Charles Dickens novel does Mark Tapley travel to America as the servant of the title character? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:25 | |
-Martin Chuzzlewit. -It's the right answer! | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Dave, after all the doubt | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-and indecision, straight in. You know your Dickens. -Some of it. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-Not all of it. Don't take that as read. -Well, that has been read. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
Takes you through. Bad luck, Kevin. Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:47 | |
It's now tipping the Eggheads' way. Credit Where Credit's Due have lost two brains, the Eggheads one. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:54 | |
So our last head to head. It is Geography. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
Simon or Jeremy there. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-I think that's me, Dermot, please. -OK, Jeremy. And choose your Egghead. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
-It's Kevin or Judith. -I'll take on Kevin. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
OK, let's have Jeremy and Kevin into the question room now, please. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
-OK, Jeremy, first or second? -I'll go first, please, Dermot. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
OK, good luck. What is the official language of Uruguay? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
Well, I don't think it's English. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Spain was quite strong in conquering, many years ago. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
I'll go down the middle with Spanish. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
Right thing to do. Yes, correct answer. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Kevin, the districts of Hambleton, Ryedale and Selby are located in which English county? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
-They're all in North Yorkshire. -Right answer. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
And on we go. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Second one, Jeremy. The resort of Faliraki is on which Mediterranean island? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
Well, I've been to Corfu. I don't believe it's actually on Corfu. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
Naxos... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
doesn't ring a bell to me. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
I'm going to go with Rhodes, Dermot. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Well done. It's the right answer. Faliraki. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
The abbey of Mont Saint-Michel is located on the border of Normandy and which other French region? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:30 | |
It is right on the border. The border curves round slightly to encompass it. It's Brittany. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:39 | |
Brittany is the right answer. Two-all. Really good quizzing here. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
Jeremy, the most historic district of which US city is popularly known as LoDo? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:50 | |
It's going to be, I'm afraid, a complete guess, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
but I'm going to go for... | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-Detroit. -OK, Detroit for LoDo. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
It is Denver, in actual fact. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Gives Kevin a chance here. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
The Aussenalster and Binnenalster are artificial lakes created in which German city? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
Well, I've been on both of these a few times, so it's Hamburg. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
Well-travelled Kevin. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Nothing better than witnessing them for yourself. It is right. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
Bad luck, Jeremy. Both please come back and join your teams. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
This is what we've been playing towards - the final round on general knowledge. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:41 | |
But those of you who lost | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
won't be allowed to take part, so Kevin, David and Jeremy and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
would you leave the studio, please? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
So, Simon and Sam, you're playing to win £7,000. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
Judith, Kevin, Dave and Daphne are playing for something money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
I'll ask each team three questions. They're all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:10 | |
So are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
What would you like to do in terms of tactics - go first or second? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
-Go first? -Yeah. -We'll go first. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
OK, best of luck to you, Simon and Sam. First question. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
Which country won cricket's Twenty20 World Cup in 2012? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
-I don't know much about cricket. -I'm not a cricket fan at all. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
West Indies did quite well, I think. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
So... if I was to guess of those three, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
I'll probably guess West Indies. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-I'll go with your guess. -Try that? -Yeah. -We'll try West Indies. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
A pressure question. Not what you wanted, cricket. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
You got it, though. Well done! It's very important | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
to get that first one on the board and you've done that. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
Eggheads, the 1967 drama Guess Who's Coming To Dinner was the final film of which Hollywood actor? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:15 | |
Spencer Tracy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
That was Spencer Tracy. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
That's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
All square as we go into another pair of questions. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
This to Simon and Sam. Ruby, topaz, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
emerald-chinned and sapphire-throated are species of which bird? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
-Any ideas? No? -Em... | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-I don't think it's finch. -No. -It sounds a bit...regal for finch. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
-What about hummingbird? -Of those, I think... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
You tend to hear a hummingbird with names like that appended to them. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-Yeah. Quail... I don't know. -Shall we go down the middle, then, again? It worked for you. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:06 | |
-Yeah. -Go with that. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-We'll go with hummingbird. -OK. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-Because it worked for Sam. -Yeah. -Guessing again a little bit, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
it's the right answer! | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Two out of two. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Doing well. Eggheads, who was the last king of the ancient region of Lydia? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:27 | |
-It should be Croesus. -Croesus. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-Is it Croesus? -He was overthrown by the Persians. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
- Yeah. - OK? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
That is Croesus. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-Not Midas? -No. Apparently not. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-Hope not! -It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've levelled it. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
All right. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Going really well here. Simon and Sam, I hope you know this one. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
Which American actor, famous for his silent movies, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
married the actress Mildred Davis in 1923? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
I've heard of all of them, but... I don't know who any of them married. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
It sounds like something you might have heard of, but I haven't. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
I'd have gone for Harold Lloyd, who I know of, but I don't know as much as the other two. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:25 | |
-It's no real reasoning. -No, it's no reasoning at all. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-I might have heard if it was Charlie Chaplin. -Yeah. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-What do you think? -We've done all right guessing so far. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-It's between Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. -Yeah. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-We haven't gone down that side yet. -Which side? -Harold Lloyd. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
-You say, then. Go on. -Sure? -Yeah. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
On my head be it, then. We'll say Harold Lloyd. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
Harold Lloyd. On your head be it. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
-Because you haven't been down that side? -We've no other reason! | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
It's the right answer! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
You could have turned that | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
into a 50/50, which you did. It's American actors and Charlie Chaplin is British. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
So, Eggheads, you need this. Serge Haroche and David J Wineland | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
won the 2012 Nobel Prize in which category? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-Not medicine. -It's not medicine. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-Not medicine. -So one of the others. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
-I... -What about physics? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
-I'm just... I think it's physics, but I'm trying to remember who won... -The medicine one, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:46 | |
-that was the stem cell one. -It's definitely not medicine. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
Wasn't one the Japanese...? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-That was medicine. -My instinct was physics. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
- Shall we go with your instinct? - Yeah, go with the instinct. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Well, we're very uncertain, as you can see. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
But Kevin has an inkling that it's physics, so physics. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
You're getting over-analytical. Take a leaf out of their book. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
They've guessed right, middle and left. Three out of three. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
Bosh, bosh, bosh. It IS the right answer, though. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
It's all-square. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
You've done really well, Simon and Sam, to get to sudden death against the Eggheads. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:31 | |
But you want to win the money. We make it harder now. The options go. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
If you do need to guess, which I hope you don't, you have to make them up yourself. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:42 | |
Wilhelm Steinitz was the first official world champion of which game? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:48 | |
-Do you know? -No. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
It'll be another guess. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
-The first official world champion. -Something like... -Chess. -..chess. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
-Or tiddlywinks. -We both thought chess, didn't we? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
I haven't even... I can't place the name at all. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
-So chess. -We both thought that as our first guess. -Yeah. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
We don't know. The first thought we both had, thinking of games, was chess. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:19 | |
-So we'll just say chess. -OK, chess. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
You really are blessed today. It's the right answer. Well done! | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
Four out of four. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Fantastic form. It's kind of guessing, but it's kind of informed. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
You both, it came into your minds. So there must be something there. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:40 | |
Puts the pressure on you, Eggheads. The former model Elin Nordegren, who is the ex-wife of Tiger Woods, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:47 | |
was born and brought up in which country? | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
-Swedish. -Um, she's Swedish. Born and brought up in Sweden. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:57 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
I want one you know outright. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-So do we! -We knew that one. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
"So do we!" says Sam. Yes, more to the point. Try this one. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | |
Which footballer turned TV presenter scored two goals for Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup Final? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:17 | |
-It's either Ian Wright... -Yeah. -..or Mark Bright. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
-1990. -1990. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
-I'm sure that was... -Ian Wright? -I think it was Ian Wright. It was 4-3 or something like that. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:30 | |
-For some reason, I think it was Ian Wright. -I think Ian Wright. My dad supports Crystal Palace. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:36 | |
Memory's a bit hazy, but we'll go with Ian Wright. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
-Your dad supports Crystal Palace? -Yeah. -It's good, then. It is the right answer. Ian Wright! | 0:25:39 | 0:25:46 | |
Eggheads, you need to get this. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
Which cartoonist drew the caricatures in the opening title sequence of the sitcom Yes Minister? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:55 | |
-Gerald Scarfe? -I think it's Scarfe. I don't think it's Searle. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
-No, I'm just visualising the beak, the noses... -Yeah. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:05 | |
-That looks like Gerald Scarfe. -OK, well, we all think it's Gerald Scarfe. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:11 | |
Gerald Scarfe, the caricatures for Yes, Minister. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
On we go. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
What calibre quizzing is going on here today! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
Right, Simon and Sam matching the Eggheads blow for blow. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:29 | |
Put it to them again. Which ventriloquist, who died in 2007, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
was the operator of Lenny the Lion? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
-I can't think. -No, I can't think of any either. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:42 | |
-No, I can't think. -No, unfortunately, we can't think of a name to give you. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
OK, Lenny the Lion. Unsurprisingly, I think, not ringing a bell. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:54 | |
-This is the kind of thing the Eggheads... -Terry Hall. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
It's the right answer, yes. Terry Hall and Lenny the Lion. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
How do you know these things?! | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
Just trivia, isn't it, I suppose? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
-Dave was his understudy. -I was, yes! | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
It doesn't count, of course. That was just out of interest, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
but first chance for the Eggheads. They've had to catch up. This a shot at victory. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:23 | |
Which former Labour MP was the host of the 1950s television interview series Face To Face? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:30 | |
John Freeman. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-John Freeman? -Yes. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
John Freeman. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
John Freeman IS the right answer. Eggheads, you've won! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
Well, I know you'd like the money, but... You haven't quite won it, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
but you've won a lot of honour and respect. That final round was an incredible performance there. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:57 | |
Some really tricky questions to get into sudden death and then that guess about chess. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:04 | |
Very, very impressive indeed. Thank you for playing today, Credit Where Credit's Due. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:12 | |
You couldn't be better named. That applies to you lot. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
You won't be going home with £7,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:25 | |
Congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads. £8,000 says they don't. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:34 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
