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 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads! And taking on our quiz champions today | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
are Every Hog Has Its Day. This team of friends from Southampton | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
take their name from the colloquial term given to residents | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
of their part of the world - Hampshire Hogs. Let's meet them. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Hello. I'm Tom. I'm 53, and I'm a service engineer. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Hello. I'm John. I'm 66. I'm a retired software engineer. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi. I'm Darrin. I'm 44, and I'm a grounds-maintenance manager. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hello. I'm Karen. I'm 49, and I'm a swimming instructor. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 50, and I'm a retired retail manager. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Welcome to you, Every Hog Has Its Day. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
I feel a bit rude, calling you Hogs. What's the origins of that? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-Where does this come from? -Hog, a pig, is the simplest version. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
The Hampshire hog is a breed of pig. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
The term originated in the early 18th century. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-Hampshire was famous for its fine bacon. -Oh! -OK. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Let's talk about your quizzing credentials. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-How experienced are you? -We've played together a lot. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
We won £1,000 on our local radio show. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
We've reached the final of a national quiz, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
which was for the MG Rover Group. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
We finished slightly behind an Egghead who's not here today, Pat. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
He finished runner-up, and we've played together in a lot of quizzes. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
OK. Well, should be a good contest, then. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
The Eggheads have won the last seven games, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
which means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
And we'll start the quiz now with the opening round, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
which is Arts And Books. And can you select a player, please? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-That'll be me. -OK, Karen. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-And select your Egghead. Who do you want to take on? -Dave? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-Yeah. -Dave, please. -Dave. Right! | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Opening round, it's Karen and Dave on Arts And Books. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Into the Question Room, both of you. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Well, Karen, my spies tell me about your love of The Osmonds. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-That's correct, yes. -Have you met them all? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Er, every one apart from Donny and Alan. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-Oh, no! You haven't met Donny? -No! | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-Are you searching him out? -I've got a concert planned | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
early next year, so I'll try again then. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-OK. What about Marie? -No. I don't do the... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
It's just the brothers, I'm afraid. THEY LAUGH | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-You don't care about her. -No. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
We care about this round. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
I think I'd like to go second. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
OK. Thinking of The Osmonds there, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-it's our very own crazy horse, Dave. -HE LAUGHS | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-I like that one. -Yeah. It rather fits, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
along with tremendous knowledge. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
OK. Arts And Books. Your first question, then, Dave. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Witness For The Prosecution is a play | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
by an author best known for her detective novels? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
I think that's Agatha Christie. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
It is, Dave, yep. Well done. Sure you would've got that, Karen, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
but you chose to go second, so try this one. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
"I took the one less traveled by, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
And that has made all the difference" are the last two lines | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
of a famous poem by which American poet? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
OK. Um, unsure of this answer. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
Um... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
I'm going to rule out William Wordsworth, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
and I am unsure, but I'm going to go for Robert Frost. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Yep. It's actually a very simple question. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
It's "which one of these is American?" | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
The other two are British and Irish. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Robert Frost is the right answer. Yes. Well done. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
And, Dave, second question. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Long poems are often divided into sections known by what name? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
I'll go cantos. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
That's right. Cantos. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
All right, Karen. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait is painted on which material? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait is painted on what material? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
Canvas seems the obvious answer, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
um, so I'm going to rule that one out. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Um, I quite like the idea of wood. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Um... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
With that era... I'm going to say plaster. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
OK. Plaster for the Arnolfini Portrait. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
It's not the right answer. It is wood, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
which is the one you quite liked, but didn't go for it. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Tell me a bit more about the Arnolfini Portrait, Eggheads. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
It's a very early example of oil painting. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-It's in the National Gallery. -OK. -It shows an Italian merchant | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
and his wife. There's a lot of debate about what exactly... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
is the circumstances - was it a betrothal or was it a wedding, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
that sort of thing. Different art historians have different views. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
OK. Right. Chance, then, to get through here, Dave. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
What is the name of the street cat | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
in the title of the bestselling 2012 book by James Bowen? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
I don't know. I've not heard of this, so... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
going to have to be a guess. I'm going to go Ben. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
OK. A Street Cat Named...Bob! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-Mm! -All right. Well, it means you're still in it, Karen. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
Chance to take us into Sudden Death. Knole House in Kent | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
was the birthplace of which 20th-century author? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Knole House, that's K-N-O-L-E, Knole House in Kent. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
Again, I'm not sure of this. I've never been to Knole House. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
Um... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
I'm drawn towards Vita Sackville-West | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
and Ivy Compton-Burnett. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
My choice is going to be Vita Sackville-West. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Last time you were drawn to wood but ended up with plaster. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
You've got the right one this time! Yes, Vita Sackville-West. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
Born in Knole House, and we go to Sudden Death. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
And just to explain to you that we remove the options here | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
until we get a winner. So, Dave, a bachelor called Will Freeman | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
and a 12-year-old boy called Marcus are the central characters | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
of which 1998 novel by Nick Hornby? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
About A Boy. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Is correct, and in the film, the part of Will Freeman played by... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-Hugh Grant. -Oh, you know it. Yes, OK. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
About A Boy is the correct answer. So, Karen, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
if you get this wrong, you're out. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Which of Shakespeare's kings says the line, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
"I wasted time, and now doth time waste me"? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
OK. It's not a quote that, um... | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
..that I know. Um... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
So I'm going to go for... | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-King Lear. -King Lear? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
That's what I would have gone for as well, before I saw the answer, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
but it's not the right answer. Do you know, Dave? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
I don't know. Richard III? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-Ah, so close! -Richard II. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-Oh, right! -Richard II. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-Fair enough. -Richard II, Karen. Bad luck, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
which means, Dave, you are through to the final round. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
First round gone, and one member from Every Hog Has Its Day gone. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
The Eggheads all there. Here's an opportunity again | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
to get rid of one of them if you can. It's Geography. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-Who'd like to play this round? -Me. -That's you, isn't it? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
Who am I going to take? Um... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-I think you should take one... -Take Barry, can I? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Yeah, I reckon so. -I'm going to take Geography, Dermot, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
and I'd like to play Barry, please. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
All right. John is going to take on Barry. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Into the Question Room, please, both of you. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
And of course, John, by the rules of Eggheads, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
you get to choose whether you go first or second. What is it to be? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
I think I'd like to go first, please, Dermot. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
OK, John. Best of luck. Here's your first question. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
The village of Grimethorpe, famous for its brass band, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
is in which county? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Well, Grimethorpe sounds very northern to me, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
and as the other two counties are nowhere near the north, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-I'll plump for South Yorkshire. -It is the right answer. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Yes. Well done. Grimethorpe, of course, in South Yorkshire. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
And, Barry, Catalunya, Sagrada Familia and Palau Reial | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
are stations on the Metro system of which city? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
Well, I've been to the Sagrada Familia. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
It's that great cathedral by Gaudi, and it's in Barcelona, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
so I guess these are Barcelona stations. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
That's right, Barry. Well done. One to you. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
And, John, what is the main monetary unit of Uruguay? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
Right. It's narrowing these South American countries down. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
I've got a feeling the guarani is Paraguay. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
I've got a feeling the bolivar is Venezuela. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
I'm going to go for peso. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Peso is the right answer, John. Well worked out. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Thinking like an Egghead there, narrowing them down, | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
ending up with the right answer. Barry, next question. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
The city of Varanasi, previously known as Banaras, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
stands on which river? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Well, Varanasi is a sacred city to the Hindus, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
so that must mean that it's on the Ganges. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Does indeed. Didn't need to narrow that down. Knew it. It's two all. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
And back to you, John. Byron Bay is a town in which Australian state? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
Right. A little bit stuck here. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
Byron Bay doesn't immediately come to mind. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I know there's a big bay in South Australia, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
but I don't think it's called Byron Bay. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-I'm going to go New South Wales. -OK. New South Wales. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
It's the right answer. Well done, John. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
So, Barry, what type of geographical feature | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
are Selfoss and Gullfoss in Iceland? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
Well, I've just come back from a holiday in Norway, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
and I saw a couple of waterfalls, and they all had the ending "foss", | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
so I presume that the root is the same, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-so I'm going to go for waterfall. -Paying attention on your hols. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
It's the right answer. Paid you dividends. We go to Sudden Death | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
once again, and John, the Megyeri Bridge spans the River Danube | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
in which city? The Megyeri, M-E-G-Y-E-R-I. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
Right. The Danube goes through about eight capital cities. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
This sounds like an Eastern European city. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
It could be Belgrade. It could be Budapest. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
Um... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Sounds Romanian or Bulgarian. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-I'm going to go for Belgrade. -OK. Belgrade. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
It's not. It's one of the others you said. It is... Barry? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
The Magyars live in Hungary, so I'd have gone for Budapest. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-Budapest, or "Budapesht". -Of course it does. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
And so a chance for Barry. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
In the USA, which West Coast state borders Washington, Idaho, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
Nevada and California? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California... | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
That would be Oregon. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
It's the correct answer, Barry. You are through to the final round. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
Bad luck, John. Would you both come back and join your teams? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Well, Every Hog Has Its Day have lost two brains | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
from the final round. The Eggheads are all still there. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
So, two more head-to-heads coming up. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
This one is Film And Television. Who'd like to play this, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-from Every Hog Has Its Day? -Darrin is Film And Television. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
-Darrin, yeah. -I'll do that, yeah. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
OK. And the Eggheads you can choose from, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Barry and Dave have played, so you've got Chris, Daphne or Kevin. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
Have you thought of taking Daphne on? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
-We'll take Daphne on. -Daphne, yeah. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-Yes. We'll take Daphne on, please. -It's going to be Darrin and Daphne | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
playing Film And TV. Into the Question Room, please. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Darrin, I know you like your sport, but you're playing this round. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-Presumably one of your strengths as well? -It is, actually, yes. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
A bit less energetic than sport, so suits me fine. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Tell me, when you were playing golf in Florida, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
and you tried the novel trick of landing your ball on an alligator! | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
I did, Dermot, yes. I pulled off one of my famous drives to the left, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
which disappeared over the yonder, drove my buggy after the ball. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
Over the hill I saw what I thought was a tacky wooden alligator | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
sat by the lake, so I wandered down to play my shot, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
flicked a tee I had in my pocket at it, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
thinking, "That's so tacky," and an eye opened! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
It was the quickest shot I've ever played. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
There were no swing thoughts. It was just getting away. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-You did play it, then? -I did the whole course. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-I wasn't going to drop a shot for that. -Absolutely not. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
Wonder what it says about that in the rules! | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-OK. Would you like to go first or second? -I'll go first, please. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
All right, Darrin. First question. Which of these is a daytime TV show | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
in which members of the public sell their collectables at auction? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
I'm not normally in during the day, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
but I don't think Lose It!, Hawk It!... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
It's more likely... I'll go for Flog It!, Dermot. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Flog It! It's the right answer. Yes, well done. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Daphne, who starred opposite Omar Sharif | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
in the 1968 film Funny Girl? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
That was Barbra Streisand. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Yes, it was. Correct answer. One apiece. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
And, Darrin, Gizzi Erskine has presented television programmes | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
on which subject? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Right. I watch a lot of sport. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
I don't recall that name through sport. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
I watch a few politics. I'm not sure... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
I'm leaning towards cookery, | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
because I've never actually heard of her, to be honest. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-I'll go cookery, Dermot. -Right to do so. Yes, it's correct. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Daphne, "Everybody lies" is a phrase | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
associated with which television doctor? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
Um... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Sounds a bit like Gregory House to me. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-Is that your answer? -Mm-hm. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
It is the correct one, yes. It's all square at two all. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
A third question each could decide the winner of this round. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Darrin, the BBC drama The Paradise, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
first broadcast in 2012, was based on a work by which writer? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Right. I haven't actually seen this, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
so again I'm going to have to reduce my choices down. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
Victor Hugo... Victor Hugo sounds familiar. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
I think I'm going to go for Guy de Maupassant. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
OK. Guy de Maupassant. Um, it's not. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Do you know, Daphne? -I'd have gone for Zola. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
It is Emile Zola. Doesn't matter, though. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
She doesn't get the point. You need to get this to win the round, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
as you know, Daphne. Chuckie Sullivan and Sean Maguire | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
are two of the central characters in which 1997 film? | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
Trying to think. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Um...haven't seen the last two. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:18 | |
Um, Sean... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
The Full Monty? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
OK, The Full Monty. No. Wrong side of the Atlantic altogether. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:29 | |
-It is... Other Eggheads? -Good Will Hunting. -Oh, right. OK. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Well, that's great news. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
You survive, Darrin, into Sudden Death. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Here you go. In 2011, Mark Benton took on the role of a maths teacher | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
called Mr Chalk in which TV series? | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
It's not one I'm familiar with, the name Mr Benton. Mr Chalk... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
I'd say Waterloo Road. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
It's the right answer, yes. Well done. Waterloo Road. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
And, Daphne, then, to stay in it this time, | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Jools Holland was banned for six weeks | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
as presenter of which Channel 4 music show | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
after using colourful language during a live trailer? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
I ought to know this. Um... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
The Word? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-The Word? -No? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
I'll give you a word. No. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-No? -I think you were on to it but you couldn't conjure it up. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-It is the... -ALL: The Tube. -The Tube. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-Oh, that one! Yes. -Yes. Oh, look at Daphne! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
Oh, dear, didn't get it. That's great news, Darrin! | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Well, for a moment or two when you got your third one wrong, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
I thought Daphne was going to end it all there, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
but she missed it and she's now out. Well turned round, Darrin. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
You're in the final round. Come back and join your teams. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
Well, a certain hog certainly had its day there! | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-I feel so rude, calling you a hog! -Well, I've been called worse. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Well, Darrin has made it through to the final round | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
at Daphne's expense, which means in terms of the balance of the teams, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Every Hog Has Its Day have lost two brains. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
The Eggheads have lost one. So, will it be all square | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
in the final round? Our last head-to-head is on History. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
And we've got Paul and Tom left to play it. History. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-Well, Paul, it's your favourite subject, isn't it? -No. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-Do you want me to take it? -You put it down as your best subject. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
-OK. -I think so, yeah. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
-I think you will take it. -That's me, Dermot. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
I liked that conversation. "Is it me?" | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
And John saying, "Well, you put it down as your best subject." | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
All right, Paul. Choose an Egghead here. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Barry, Daphne and Dave have played, so it's Chris or Kevin. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
I'll take Chris, please. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Let's have Paul and Chris into the Question Room. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
OK, Paul, you get to choose, as you know, | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
on your favourite subject. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
I'll go first, please, Dermot. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
All right. Chris rather likes this as well, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
so should be a good contest. Paul, first question. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Britannia Prima and Britannia Secunda | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
were provinces of which empire? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Britannia Prima and Britannia Secunda | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
were provinces of which empire? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Erm... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Well, because of the Britannia intro, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
I don't like Assyrian or Egyptian. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-I'll go for Roman. -Very good, yes. You'd be right to do so. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Chris, first question. The woman born Nancy Witcher Langhorne | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
in 1879 was better known by what title? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
The woman born Nancy Witcher Langhorne in 1879 | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
was better known by what title? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
She was Nancy, Lady Astor. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
OK. It's the right answer, yes, Chris. OK. Back to you, Paul. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
Grand Duchess Charlotte ruled which country | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
from 1919 to 1964? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Grand Duchess Charlotte. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Erm... I don't actually know, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
but I wouldn't think it'd be Sweden. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Erm... Well, as she's a grand duchess, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
I would say the Duchy of Luxembourg, so I'll go for Luxembourg. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
That's the way to sort that one out. It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Chris, who sponsored the initial attempt of the colonisation | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
of Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
In other words, who put up the money? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
Um... | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Well, Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh were both pirates, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
for all intents and purposes, so they'd have had a fair old stash. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
But they'd have wanted to give the thing an air of respectability, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
so the only one there with any legitimate cash would be Devereux, | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Earl of Essex, so that's what I'll go with. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
Devereux, Earl of Essex. Do the other Eggheads agree? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-It's Walter Raleigh. -It's Sir Walter Raleigh. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-Oh! -OK, interesting. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
Chris didn't know that, so that's fantastic news for you, Paul. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
You have an unchallenged shot here. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
If you get this, you're in the final round. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
And here's the question. James Wolfe, the British Army officer | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
famous for his victory over the French, died during which conflict? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
James Wolfe, the British Army officer | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
famous for his victory over the French, died during which conflict? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
Erm... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
I think Napoleonic Wars would be too late. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Erm... | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
It's a toss-up between the other two. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I'll go for the Seven Years' War. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
OK. The Seven Years' War for the death of James Wolfe. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
It's the right answer! Well done. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
Kills off Chris's challenge. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
You're in the final round. Congratulations, Paul. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
General Knowledge. But those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
so, John and Karen from Every Hog Has Its Day | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
and Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
would you leave the studio right now, please? | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Tom, Darrin and Paul, you're playing to win Every Hog Has Its Day £8,000. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
Kevin, Dave and Barry, you are playing for something | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
The questions are general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
So, Every Hog, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
And, Tom, Darrin and Paul, would you like to go first or second? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Since our successful players went first, we'll go first. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
OK. Good luck, and your first question is this. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
"He has a powerful weapon, he charges a million a shot" | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
are lyrics referring to which James Bond film title character? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
"He has a powerful weapon, he charges a million a shot" | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
are lyrics referring to which James Bond film title character? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Yeah. We agree. Man With The Golden Gun, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
played by Christopher Lee, Mr Gruesome. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
OK, and triple nipples. The Man With The Golden Gun. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
It's the right answer, yeah. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
And, Eggheads, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
John Baur and Mark Summers declared September the 19th | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
to be International Talk Like A what Day? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
John Baur and Mark Summers declared September the 19th | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
to be International Talk Like A what Day? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
Oh, arr! It's Talk Like A Pirate. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
Yeah, or was that parrot? Never mind. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
OK. We think that's Pirate. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
It is the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Talk Like A Pirate Day. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
All right. Second question for you, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Every Hog Has Its Day. In fashion, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
a flounce which extends from the waist of a garment | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
and covers the hips is known by what name? | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
In fashion, a flounce which extends from the waist of a garment | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
and covers the hips is known by what name? | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
I don't know. I've never heard of... It's definitely not petticoat. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
-No. So it's going to be... -Pleather or peplum. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
-Do you know those words at all? -I've heard of peplum. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
-Pleather... -Do you have a pleather of something? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
I think plethora. I think we're going to have to guess number two. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
-I fancy the middle one. -Yeah. -OK. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
We're going to go for peplum, as a strict guess. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
OK, a guess. Well, a bit more than that. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
I heard you doing a bit of analysis and eliminating at least one there, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
and it is the right answer. Well done. Peplum. OK, Eggheads. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
In mythology, what are talaria? | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
In mythology, what are talaria? T-A-L-A-R-I-A. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
-Winged sandals. -Winged sandals. -Is that Mercury, or... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
That's what we'll have. OK. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Yeah. As worn by Hermes, or Mercury, they're winged sandals. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
-Or Barry. -Yeah, occasionally. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
It is the right answer, yes. Winged sandals. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
So it's all square again, and, Every Hog Has Its Day, | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
booted, crab-eating and Assam are species of which primate? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
Booted, crab-eating and Assam are species of which primate? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
It won't be lemur cos that's Madagascar. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
-Yeah. It's not lemur. -Tamarin... Is that South America? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
Tamarin... Yeah, it must be, mustn't it? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
And what's... Macaque. That sort of word, like macaw... | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
Tamarin. Tamarin monkeys. Where do they come from? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
They're the little gold ones. They're, um... | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
-Little gold ones? -Yeah. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
-Macaque... -Assam should lead us there, shouldn't it? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
The problem with macaque and tamarin is, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
is macaque South American? Is tamarin South American? | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
-I don't know. -Just a New World monkey. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
-Oh, I can't remember! -Is macaque New World? | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Let's go for tamarin, yeah? Tamarin rings more of a bell with me. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -Let's go for it. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
-We hope it's tamarin. -OK. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Some detailed discussions there, and gone for tamarin | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
for the booted, crab-eating and Assam. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
They're species of macaque. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
So a slip-up there on the third question, | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
so the Eggheads have a chance to win the game. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
ASKAP, which became the world's fastest radio telescope | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
when it was launched in October 2012, is in which country? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |
ASKAP, A-S-K-A-P, which became the world's fastest radio telescope | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
when it was launched in October 2012, is in which country? | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Trying to remember what it stands for. I think it's Australia. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
Yeah. I'm sure I've seen a Horizon on it. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Trying to think what ASKAP actually stands for. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
THEY CONFER QUIETLY | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
-I'm reasonably happy it's Australia, I think. -So am I. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
-OK? We'll go with that. -Australia. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
We're not a hundred percent, but we do think it's in Australia. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
Australia for ASKAP, the world's fastest radio telescope. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
The answer is Australia. You've won, Eggheads. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
Bad luck, Every Hog Has Its Day. As we can see from the final round, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
with three facing three, that was a very, very even contest, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
and 50-50, as you say, on your macaque-tamarin question. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
You narrowed it down to that, but not to be on the day. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
Thank you very much indeed for taking the Eggheads on. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
and their winning streak continues. You won't go home with the £8,000, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
which means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
So, congratulations, Eggheads. Who will beat you? | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
to defeat the Eggheads. £9,000 says they don't. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
