0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Challenging our quiz champions today are the Offcomers from Cumbria.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team have links to an amateur dramatics company in Ulverston
0:00:40 > 0:00:45and take their name from the term used to describe people who move into their home town.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Bill, I'm 57
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and I'm a retired pharmaceutical plant manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Bob, I'm 57 and I'm a supply development manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Basil, I'm 66 years old
0:00:58 > 0:01:00and I'm a retired chemical works manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 51 and I'm a senior trainer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Andrew, I'm 36 years old
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and I'm a retail manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Offcomers. Explain the phrase "offcomers".
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Well, Ulverston's at one end of the Furness peninsula
0:01:15 > 0:01:19and it's quite a way from anywhere by road, by land,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23and in days gone by before road and rail links were established,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26the easiest way to get to Ulverston from Lancaster or Morecambe
0:01:26 > 0:01:28was to come across the sands.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31So for the people in Ulverston,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33they'd see visitors arriving in this town
0:01:33 > 0:01:36having come off the sands, hence the term "offcomers".
0:01:36 > 0:01:40And how long do you remain an offcomer now?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44How long before you become a local? At least 30 years.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48None of us has managed that yet. None of you have done your time yet?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Not yet. OK. And you also do a bit of amateur dramatics.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Do you act or...? Well, I don't act. Bob and Steve act.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm there on the stage.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER What as, a prop?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I sort of fill in a space, you know? A statue.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And quizzing - any of that going on in Ulverston?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Yeah, we quiz every Thursday night at the local pub
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and sometimes we win.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Sometimes we don't but it's all good fun.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, let's hope you win because there's money at stake.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25If they lose, the prize money rolls over to the next show,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so, Offcomers, the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32which means a grand total of £10,000 says
0:02:32 > 0:02:34you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38OK, let's have a go at it, then. The first category is geography.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Who'll take this one on from the Offcomers?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Could me, then. Geography? Geography.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46That was me. That was you? Oh, well done, Bill.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48That's me, Dermot. Bill, straight in.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Which Egghead would you like to challenge? Chris. We'll go for Chris.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK, Chris playing Geography.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Chris and Bill, then, first pair into the question room, please.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03All right, Bill, choose whether you want to go first or second.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, Bill, this is your first question.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16What is the name of card-payment method used on New York City subways and buses?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I don't think it's an Oyster card because I've got one
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and that's for the tube system in London.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Carnet-Visite sounds French to me,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so I'll go for MetroCard.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Good idea. It's the right answer, yes.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well done.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well done, Bill.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Chris, Furness is an area containing the town of Barrow-in-Furness...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45LAUGHTER
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I don't believe it. That extends into which body of water?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's up there in the northwest, so it's the Irish Sea. Yes, it is.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Now, we've had some questions on Eggheads
0:03:55 > 0:03:59where they were linked, obviously, to the teams that turn up
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but I don't think we've ever had one that is...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I mean, we've just had that conversation.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Could you continue in this vein, Dermot?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Ah, but they're getting them. Maybe you gave Chris the information.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14No! I know Barrow-in-Furness. Of course you do.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17OK, it's your second question, then, Bill.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Herat is a city and province in which country?
0:04:23 > 0:04:29Well, Herat doesn't sound Chinese, so I'll probably rule that one out.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Not too certain between Afghanistan and Israel.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Could you just spell it for me, please, Dermot? H-E-R-A-T.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Well, it's not one that I recognise
0:04:39 > 0:04:45from any of the maps of Afghanistan that I've seen recently,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47so I'll go for Israel.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49OK. Israel for Herat.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53A city and province in Afghanistan, Bill.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55So a chance for Chris to take the lead.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Chris, the Margravial Opera House,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2012,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04is situated in which German town?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11It's not Bayreuth because that's where Wagner's Festspielhaus is.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Erm...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Ah, there were margraves of where was it?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Thuringia?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Ansbach is brandy. That's neither here nor there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25But because it crops up in Saxe-Coburg—Gotha,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I'll go with Coburg. OK, Coburg for the Margravial Opera House.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33No, it is in Bayreuth. Is it? Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Have they got two? They must have.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41All right. Well, Bill, still very much in it. Level pegging.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46The Rotunda of Mosta, M—O—S—T—A, also known as the Mosta Dome, is
0:05:46 > 0:05:50a church and tourist attraction on which Mediterranean island?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Well, I've been to Cyprus.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Didn't see that there. Didn't visit it, I don't think.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I've not been to the other two.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Not really certain but I will take a stab at Malta.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11OK, Malta for the Mosta Dome or the Rotunda of Mosta.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's the right answer. Well done. You worked that out. Well done!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Two-one. Chris, which country was the world's biggest producer
0:06:19 > 0:06:21of the commodity copper in 2010?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Mm. Interesting.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Well, there's copper mines in all three.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34But probably, since they're going ahead full steam,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I'll say Kazakhstan.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40OK. Kazakhstan as the world's biggest producer of copper in 2010.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Er, no, it's not the right answer. It is Chile.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Chile. Which means, well, you're through to the final round, Bill.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well played. Well done, Bill!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Great start. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Well, Bill, maybe they'll make you an honorary native after that performance. Possibly.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06You'll lose the offcomer tag. You're into the final round.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So it means the Eggheads are, at the moment, missing one brain.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11And we move on to our next head to head today.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15This is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this from the Offcomers?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Oh, whoopee. The one subject we were looking for.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I'm sure you were.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26This is our favourite, so I think I volunteered to be the sacrificial lamb.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You're the man, Steve. You can do it. You've read books.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I have. And I've seen art. That's right. I'm fully qualified.
0:07:34 > 0:07:41Right? I'll do that one. OK, Steve, and take on an Egghead. Any of the four remaining after Chris.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, after spending a lot of my...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Happy memories of youthful holidays in Weston-super-Mare,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I've got to pick Daphne. LAUGHTER
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Maybe she'll be kind. OK. It's a lovely place.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yes, I know. You tell us about it all the time.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I even took my children there a couple of years ago
0:08:00 > 0:08:03to show them where I used to spend my holidays.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05They've never forgiven me since.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Right, OK. You might have some trouble with Daphne now.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13She doesn't like that. Let's have Steve and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Steve, let's see if you can follow Bill into the final round.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Would you like to go first or second? I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Best of luck, Steve. First question on Arts and Books.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31The 1962 novel Life At The Top is a sequel to which earlier work?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Right, I'm not 100% sure on this.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44I think Live And Let Die, I'll ignore that one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Put that to one side. To me that's just a James Bond film, so...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Catcher In The Rye? I don't think it is.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So because of the connection with "the top" being involved,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'll go for Room At The Top.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Top answer. Yes, it's the right one. Room At The Top.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Daphne, in the novel Alice's Adventures In Wonderland,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10which creatures are used as balls for the game of croquet in the Queen's garden?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14They're poor little hedgehogs.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It wouldn't have been much of a game with hippos. Hedgehogs is right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Steve, which English king is the central character in James Goldman's historical play
0:09:27 > 0:09:29The Lion In Winter?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36This is where you wish you'd paid a little bit more attention
0:09:36 > 0:09:38in your history lessons at school.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Erm... What was the name of the novel again?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's The Lion In Winter by James Goldman.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Right, I don't think that actually helps me at all.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Erm...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No, I've no idea whatsoever. I'll just have to take a guess.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01So something's drawing me to the left-hand, to Henry II.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I think I'll go for Henry II.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06OK, Henry II is the right answer, yes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oh, well done, Steve.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Chuckling from the Eggheads as they know you'd landed it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Daphne, which author writes under the pseudonym Barbara Vine?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oh, that's Ruth Rendell.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I love crime novels.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It is the right answer. Let's confirm that. All square.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28And, Steve, third question.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32George Orwell's novel, Keep The Aspidistra Flying,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35begins with the central character, Gordon Comstock,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38giving up his job in what profession to become a writer?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Again, I don't really have much of an idea on this one.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Erm... George Orwell.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55The only books I know by George Orwell are 1984,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58so I'm struggling a little bit there because I've never heard of this.
0:10:58 > 0:11:05Erm... George Orwell himself, did he work in broadcasting at one point?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08So I may discount that one for some reason.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Erm... I think I'll go with teaching.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16OK. Teaching. Stick with the left.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Yes, well, of course, they would all fit
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and, yes, George Orwell, he worked for the BBC, didn't he?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25It is advertising, though. Advertising.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30So, a slip there. Will Daphne capitalise?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32The French painter Nicolas Poussin
0:11:32 > 0:11:35is most closely associated with which art movement?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42He is a classicist.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Classicism. Mm-hm.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I'm afraid it's the right answer, afraid from your point of view, Steve.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Just stumbling on the third question and she did capitalise that, Daphne.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You can discuss Weston-super-Mare. You should've been nicer about it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01She might have been in a better mood. You're not in the final round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Well, it's all square now.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The Offcomers and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Our next subject is Film & Television.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Who wants to play this?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18That looks like me, then. That's you, Bob.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Well volunteered, Bob. That's me, then. I like the way he collared you, Bob.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Were you trying to get away? Straight in.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Who would you like to play? Daphne and Chris have played.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's go down the line - Barry, Pat or Judith.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Erm, I think Judith, please.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37OK. Film & TV. It's going to have Bob and Judith playing it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Into the question room, please.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Bob, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Erm, I think I'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Film & Television. Your first question.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Which regular character in the US sitcom Friends
0:12:53 > 0:12:55had the surname Buffay?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Er... Interesting one
0:12:59 > 0:13:02because I've never even heard of it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Not Friends, I've watched Friends, but not the name Buffay.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08That would be a blank, not having heard of Friends.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I don't think it was Rachel.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I can't imagine it was Chandler.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I suspect it might be Phoebe.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Phoebe Buffay is the right answer, yes. Worked that out.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28And so, Judith, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace became famous
0:13:28 > 0:13:30as part of which television show?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I was reading about them in the paper
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and wondering how on earth you pronounce "Fl-AY—via's" surname.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So I definitely know it's Strictly Come Dancing.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45OK. I think it is Fl-A-via.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Oh, Flavia. Well, anyway, I didn't know how you pronounce her surname.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53All right. Don't quote me on it but it is the right answer, yes.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Strictly Come Dancing.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Right, all square, and second question each.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Bob, who joined the cast of Emmerdale in the year 2000,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04playing the part of Rodney Blackstock?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I don't think Robert Powell or Martin Shaw has ever been in Emmerdale,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14although I might be wrong.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So I suspect it's probably Patrick Mower.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yes, elimination will do. It's the right answer, yes.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Good stuff. Judith, Acka Raga by Joe Harriott and John Mayer
0:14:26 > 0:14:29was the original theme tune to which TV quiz show
0:14:29 > 0:14:32first broadcast in 1967?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I thought a raga was Indian music
0:14:38 > 0:14:43and I was hoping there'd be sort of an Indian clue there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Is Daphne jumping up and down because it's Sale Of The Century, I wonder?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54I wish I could see or hear. Daphne, makes some thumps so I can hear.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Erm...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I've absolutely no idea.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Er, so I'm going down the magic right
0:15:05 > 0:15:09and hope it's Daphne's thing.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Sale Of The Century. Yes. Is it, Daphne?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I don't think so.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16No, it's not. Oh! What do you think, Eggheads?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Ask The Family. It's Ask The Family, not Sale Of The Century.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26So that is great news for you, Bob. A shot here to take you into the final round.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Steve Zodiac was the lead character
0:15:28 > 0:15:30in which Gerry Anderson puppet series?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Oh, my God. Erm...
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I think Supercar...
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I think that was either before... Certainly before my conscious time.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Erm... Zodiac has something to do with space,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53so I'd say Fireball XL5.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I think but I don't know. OK.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You've been working these questions well
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and that's continued - it's the right answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Wow.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Excellent stuff, Bob. You are in the final round.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13It really is nip and tuck, this game, so far.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The Offcomers are in front. They've knocked out two Eggheads
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and one member of the Offcomers has gone.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20What will happen in our last head to head?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's Sport, and your two remaining players, Offcomers,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25it's Basil or Andrew.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Well, I think the least risk strategy is for Andrew to do it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Andrew. Yeah. Sport. OK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Are you happy with...? Well, you're not happy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You did say you were a sacrificial lamb.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42OK, I'm going to have to sacrifice myself here, then, yeah. OK.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Andrew, who do you want to take on? It's Pat or Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I wouldn't mind losing to Barry, so let's go with him.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53All right. Barry wouldn't mind losing to you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Let's go...
0:16:56 > 0:17:00So that's a perfect match. Let's have Barry and Andrew into the question room, please.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Andrew, I know you like running.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09I believe you were once beaten by a man dressed as a cheese. I did, to my eternal shame.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12In the Great North Run, I chased him and chased him
0:17:12 > 0:17:15but he beat me over the line by quite a margin, in fairness.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19But, hey, that's life. A man dressed as a cheese.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Well, you don't want to get beaten by a man dressed as a tablecloth in this head to head.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So, do you want to go first or second?
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Erm, I'll go first.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And it's a lovely shirt, by the way, Barry. I take that back.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38OK, first question then, Andrew. Serious stuff now.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Maggotts Corner and Farm Curve are features
0:17:41 > 0:17:43on which Formula 1 grand prix circuit?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Right. Erm...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I've never heard of those two referenced at Monaco.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Erm... I don't think it's Monaco.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I've heard races at Silverstone and it's never really cropped up,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06so I'm going to go for the Hockenheimring.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Right. Hockenheimring for Maggots Corner and Farm Curve.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14What do you think, Offcomers? Silverstone. Silverstone.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Your mates all think it's Silverstone, which is the answer we were looking for.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It might have been too obvious, I think.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So, Barry, in cricket, the dilscoop,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27named after the Sri Lankan player Tillakaratne Dilshan,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30is a manoeuvre usually made by a player in which position?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Well, the only player who would normally scoop up a ball is a wicket-keeper,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38so that's my answer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42A useless set of answers from you two so far, if you'll excuse me saying so.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Batsman! It's a batsman. Oh!
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Oh, that sort of scoop. A dilscoop. Well, well, well.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53OK, let's start again, shall we?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Wipe those from the record. Let's just have it over two questions.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And your first question... No, it's your second question
0:19:00 > 0:19:01but it is all square.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05The American athlete, Aries Merritt, won a gold medal
0:19:05 > 0:19:09in which men's track event at the London 2012 Olympics?
0:19:13 > 0:19:18Right, OK. You'll begin to tell sport's really my strength, here.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24Erm... I'm going to go for, for the fact that I haven't heard the name,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26potentially it would be steeplechase.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28OK, steeplechase.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's not. Do you know, Barry? He's a 400m runner.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34No. 110m hurdles.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38This could be a long game.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I'm wondering about the qualifications of either of you to play this.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, first one to get a question right.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47No, that's not fair.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Barry, at the 1900 Paris Olympic games,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53there were two aquatic events that have never been repeated as Olympic events -
0:19:53 > 0:19:57an obstacle race - we kid you not - and what other?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Now, I know at the Paris Olympics a lot of the aquatic events
0:20:04 > 0:20:06were actually held in the Seine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's hard to believe now but they were.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12But I believe one of the events was to see how far you could swim underwater on a single breath,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15so I think it's underwater swimming.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18This is done public baths up and down the country every day.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Very likely. Everyone tries that.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It is the right answer, yes. Underwater swimming.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I'm more interested in the one we gave you - the obstacle race.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Did they leap out of the water like seals?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I think they had to negotiate round various things in the water.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Like a slalom, something like that. Yes. OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39But it also means you have a narrow lead
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and it means you need to get this, Andrew.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Jimmy Armfield played over 500 matches for which football club
0:20:45 > 0:20:48between 1954 and 1971?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54OK, so they're all from the area that I come from
0:20:54 > 0:20:56but that doesn't really help.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Erm... So...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm going to go Bolton Wanderers.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05OK, Bolton Wanderers to stay in the game.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's all over, Andrew. Hey!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11They think it's all over. It certainly is now.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15It's Blackpool. Blackpool for Jimmy Armfield.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He went on to manage your lot. He managed Leeds, certainly, for a while.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Erm... But there we are.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Just took the one question to do it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It was a fun round. Thanks for being part of it, Andrew,
0:21:29 > 0:21:30but you won't be in the final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38It's time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads can't take part.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So, Steve and Andrew from the Offcomers
0:21:45 > 0:21:48and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56So, Bill, Bob and Basil, you're playing to win the Offcomers £10,000.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:21:59 > 0:22:01the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04And as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07The questions are all General Knowledge and you may confer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12So, Offcomers, the question is are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15And Bill, Bob and Basil, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17What do you think, guys? Do you want to go first?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Yeah? Yeah, we'll go first, Dermot.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It's got a ring to it, hasn't it? Bill, Bob and Basil.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The Offcomers.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31OK, your first question then and here it is.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37Which German Formula 1 driver announced his retirement from the sport in October 2012?
0:22:41 > 0:22:48Which German Formula 1 driver announced his retirement from the sport in October 2012?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Yeah. Well, we're fairly unanimous on that one, Dermot.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We think it's Michael Schumacher.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Michael Schumacher retiring - again - is the right answer.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Yes, well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03And, Eggheads, in an iconic photograph taken by Arthur Sasse
0:23:03 > 0:23:07in 1951, Albert Einstein is pictured doing what?
0:23:11 > 0:23:16In an iconic photograph taken by Arthur Sasse in 1951,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Albert Einstein is pictured doing what?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Sticking out his tongue. He's sticking out his tongue.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Something I have to restrain myself from doing on a daily basis
0:23:25 > 0:23:28to you lot. It is the right answer, yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31OK, Offcomers, second question.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34In the modern lyrics of the nursery rhyme Aiken Drum,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38where is the title character said to have lived?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Aiken Drum? I don't know. I don't know.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Under the sea? What is it? A nursery rhyme.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49What nursery rhymes are they on the mountain?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Hmm... Aiken Drum.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I'm not familiar with the rhyme at all. No, no.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Could it be...? You've got an inkling it might be...?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I can only think it might be the man in the moon
0:24:02 > 0:24:07because I can't think of any rhymes for under the sea or on the mountain.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13But it's entirely up to... Well, I've got no idea. I don't know.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18No, no. It's not one I know. It's doesn't run off the tongue.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21So what do we think? Go with the moon.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25We've got nothing else, have we? So in the moon? Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29OK, we'll take a shot at in the moon, Dermot.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32OK. In the moon for Aiken Drum.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's the right answer. Yes, well done. Oh! Good lad.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Eggheads, your second question. You are behind, obviously.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Which historical figure did Kenneth Branagh portray
0:24:42 > 0:24:45in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Brunel. Yeah. Brunel.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think he exported the famous stovepipe hat
0:24:54 > 0:24:55and portrayed Brunel.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It's the right answer, yes. Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02All square. Third question, Offcomers.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05In the German editions of the series of children's books
0:25:05 > 0:25:09known as Where's Wally? by what name is Wally known?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13In the German editions.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17These are the ones where Wally's a little picture
0:25:17 > 0:25:20in a mass of... Are you familiar with this, Bill?
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Well... I'm slightly familiar with the Where's Wally? drawings.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31You've got a tiny little Wally to find in a huge great mass of stuff.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34The only thing I can think is that it rings true
0:25:34 > 0:25:36that it might be Willi. Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Where's Wally? Is Where's Willi? Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44It might be the expanded form of Wally, I don't know.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Well, it was the one I was drawn to, I must admit. Walter. Walter.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Where's Wally?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Wolf? That doesn't sound like Where's Wally? No, no. No.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59When I saw it, it was between Willi and Walter.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01So why were you drawn to Walter?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Well, just - Wally, Walter. Wally - it just sounded, you know...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Walter. Willi, Walter.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Willi. Right, we're going to have to make a decision, aren't we? Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Have we got a consensus? No.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I mean, I don't know.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Well, the only thing is, in terms of the way the synchronisation of it
0:26:25 > 0:26:29is Where's Wally, Where's Willi? Yeah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yeah. Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Yeah? We'll go with that one? We'll go with that one.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38All right. Right.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Obviously, not sure at all, Dermot,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but we'll take a go at Willi.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46OK. Willi.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Wo Ist Willi? or something like that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52It's Walter. Oh!
0:26:52 > 0:26:55The other one you were thinking of. Simple as that.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Wally becomes Walter.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Right, well, it's not over. Eggheads...
0:27:01 > 0:27:05"See me in me heels and ting Dem check sey we hip and ting"
0:27:05 > 0:27:11are the first lines of the 1978 UK number one single Uptown Top Ranking by which act?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Althia and Donna. Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Yeah. Yeah? OK. Definitely. Yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Althia and Donna.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Could you actually sing it for me?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24No. Save me the embarrassment. No!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Althia and Donna is the right answer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Bad luck, guys. That was a very close game, as you well know.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Even stevens in those head to heads and just the one question in it
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and you were so close to going for Walter -
0:27:43 > 0:27:45after that, we would have been into sudden death.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But hopefully, you will go back with your heads held high to Ulverston
0:27:49 > 0:27:53and they'll finally say, "You're no longer offcomers,"
0:27:53 > 0:27:56because you gave the Eggheads a good run for their money.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04which means it rolls over to the next show.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16£11,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
