These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads! And taking on the awesome might | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
of our quiz Goliaths today are the Celts. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
This team of friends quiz together every week at their local, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
the Angel in Caerphilly, so let's meet them. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Hi. I'm Steve. I'm 52, and I'm a window-blind manufacturer. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi. I'm Andrew. I'm 48. I'm an electrical technician. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi. I'm Steve. I'm 56, and I'm an engineer. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Hi. I'm Brian. I'm 56, and I'm a civil servant. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi. I'm Scott. I'm 46. I'm an electrician. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Steve and team, welcome. Steve, just tell us why it's the Celts. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Because there's three Welsh and two Scottish in the team. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
And which is which? The two Scots are on the end, Brian and Scott. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Brian and Scott. OK, that's easy to remember. Yeah. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
Tell us about the quiz that you do. We've been quizzing for ten years | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
in our local pub, the Angel in Caerphilly, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and we're quite successful, winning once every couple of weeks. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
You break the subjects down? You know who does which subject? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
We all think we know everything, but we don't. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
OK. Good luck in this contest. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
So, Celts, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last 14 games, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
which is good news for you, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
cos it means £15,000 says you can't beat them today. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Do you want to crack on? We do. We do. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
So, which of you would like this? Who wants to go for Geography? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Go on, Brian. You and Geography... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Unless you want - Brian will be going for Geography. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Brian. So, one of the Scots on Geography. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
OK. Against which Egghead, Brian? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
You've got the full complement here to choose from. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Dave? Dave, yeah. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
We'll go for Dave, please. Tremendous Knowledge Dave. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave on Geography against Brian, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
and just to ensure there's no conferring, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
OK, Brian. You ready for this one? I am, Jeremy. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
And Geography... I gather you got some interesting travel plans. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Yeah. I've always wanted to go to the southern states of America, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
cos I like American music, country and blues and... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
visit Graceland and travel through Mississippi, that sort of thing. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Well, I hope the southern states come up for you. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Good luck, Dave, as well. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Brian, you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Good luck. What tree appears on the flag of the Pacific island of Guam? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
Right. I'm not familiar with the flag of Guam. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
Um... Looking at it logically, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
I think Guam is in the Pacific area, if I remember, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
but it's certainly somewhere, um... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
I think that might be too exotic to have oak trees | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
or horse chestnut trees, so I would guess, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
and this is a pure guess, a palm tree. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
Spot-on, Brian. Well done. Palm tree it is. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
What term is used to refer to towns | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
where most residents travel to work elsewhere? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
Never heard of this phrase at all. It's a big gap... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
on the first question. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Got to go dormitory towns, but I'm not really... | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
um, sure about that at all, from the options, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
but dormitory towns. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
I'm pleased to report your teammates are nodding. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
It is dormitory towns. I've never heard the phrase at all. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
OK, Brian. Your question. Bugle, London Apprentice and Shop | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
are villages in which English county? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
I've been to Cornwall quite a few times. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
We play golf down there quite a lot, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
and I've never seen these towns in Cornwall at all. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:36 | |
Essex I've also been to, and never really come across them. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
Kent is a county I know very little about, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
um, so for that reason I'm going to go for Kent. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
It's wrong. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
It's Cornwall. Sorry. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Dave, your question. The mountains called the Dinaric Alps | 0:04:55 | 0:05:01 | |
roughly follow the east coast of which sea? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
It's not the Tasman Sea. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Let me have a think. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Could be wrong, but I'll go with the Adriatic Sea. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Adriatic Sea is the right answer, Dave. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
So you need this one, Brian, and this is the question. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
It's about currencies. The nakfa is the currency | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
of which African country? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
I think I can rule out, er, Tunisia | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
because I've been to Tunisia, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
and I seem to remember it was dinars. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
So I'm between Uganda and Eritrea. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
Uganda, I think, at one time was a British colony, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
so, um... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
..maybe it would have a more familiar-sounding currency. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
So I'm going to take a guess, really, at Eritrea. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Well done. You got it right. Yes! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Well done, Brian. Nicely done. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
I'm sorry we couldn't get any southern states of the USA | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
into your questions, but anyway, two out of three. Not bad. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Dave, your question. The Ile d'Orleans bridge | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
and the Laviolette bridge cross which river? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
Right. It's not the Tiber. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Now, um, obviously the St Lawrence, | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
looking at Quebec and those things, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
but could it be Mississippi, through the Creole ones there? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Why is Mississippi there? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
HE SIGHS I said the St Lawrence there, | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
but that's more Ottawa. I'm going to go Mississippi, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
but it's a bit... I could've double-bluffed myself, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
but Mississippi. I think the clue was in the pronunciation, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
cos Ile d'Orleans is probably not how they'd say it there. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
It is St Lawrence. Right. Fair play. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Right. So, you're tied. We go to Sudden Death. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Gets a bit harder, Brian. I don't give you alternatives. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
The Mexican resort of Cancun lies on the shore of which sea? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
It's either the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
The Gulf isn't really a sea, so I'm going to say the Caribbean. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Spot-on. Well done, Brian. Brilliant, Brian! | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
So, pressure on Dave now with this question. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
If you get this wrong, you're out. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Anxious Bay, Disaster Bay and Discovery Bay | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
are features of which country? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Mm. Again, I'm going one of two, but I'll go New Zealand. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
No, it's Australia. Well done, Brian! You're in the final round! | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Yes, Brian! On Geography, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
without even the benefit of a question about Elvis. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave, sorry, you're out. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Please, both of you, rejoin your teams. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Brian, well done. Got some bad news. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
You are buying the round when you're next in the pub, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
but this has started well, guys. I'm not going to get carried away. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
So, the Celts have not lost a brain. The Eggheads have lost a brain. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
And the next subject for you is Science. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Who's the scientist? Who wears the goggles? Andy? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Andy, yeah. He's our science expert, Andy. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
OK, Andrew. Against which Egghead? Let's have a look. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
Who's not wearing a lab coat? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
I think I'll take... I think Daphne. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Well done. Daphne. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
She surprises on Science occasionally, I must say. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Quite extraordinary. Andrew from the Celts | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Science, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Daphne, how are we on our science today? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
I'll let you know! SHE LAUGHS | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Cos I'm always amazed at you on science. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
You're brilliant. We're going back a few years, I imagine, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
to the science class. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
I only ever did two years at school, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
and that was botany and biology, | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
so anything else I've had to learn since. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
So you sit at home learning the Periodic Table, do you? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Gosh, no! Much better things to do. SHE LAUGHS | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
You seem to know it, anyway. Good luck, Andrew. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
We'll see how she does here. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
Here we go. Good luck to the Celts. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
If a substance is described as aqueous, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
it has been dissolved in what, Andrew? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Well, um... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Due to the word "aqua" meaning water, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
um, I think I'll discount molten gold and oil, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
and I think I'll go for water as my answer, Jeremy. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
It has been dissolved in water. Quite right. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Good stuff. Well done, Andrew! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Daphne, which household pet has the scientific name | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
Canis lupus familiaris? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
I think that's a dog. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Dog is correct there. Well done. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
OK. Over to you, Andrew. What type of creature is the basilisk, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
native to the Americas? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Um, this is going to be an absolute guess, | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
and I think I'll head for fish. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:30 | |
Let's see if Daphne knows. Daphne? It's a lizard. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
Sorry, Andrew. It is a lizard. She's right. Oh! | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
OK, Daphne. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
The radioactive isotope carbon 14 occurs naturally in the atmosphere | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
primarily due to the effects of what? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Well, all I know about it is | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
that you can date things with it, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
so, um... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Methane excretion? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
No, it's not methane excretion, Daphne. Sorry. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
Cosmic rays. Is it? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Yeah, it's cosmic rays. She's let you off the hook, there, Andrew. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
Get this one right. Put some pressure on her. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
The Krebs cycle is a process | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
by which living cells break down molecules | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
in order to generate what? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Oh, another one that, unfortunately, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
I'm going to have to guess at, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
and I think I'll go straight down the middle and say energy. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
You're nodding, Daphne. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Is he right? That's what I'd have gone for. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Yes. Energy is the right answer. Brilliant! | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
OK, two out of three. It's a good contest, this, today! | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Right, Daphne. You're teetering. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Little eggshell is showing a hairline crack, isn't it? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
You're out if you get this wrong. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
The American inventor Leonarde Keeler | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
was instrumental in developing which of these in the 1920s and 1930s? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Could you spell Keeler? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
K-E-E-L-E-R. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Hasn't helped, I'm afraid. Um... | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
Lie detector. Where did you get that from? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
The recess, that famous Daphne recess in the brain? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
It depends whether it's right or not. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
It's right. You've drawn level. Well done. We go to Sudden Death. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Oh! That's what she does, Andrew. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
I don't know how she does it, but she does. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
A smiling assassin. Gets a bit harder now. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
I don't give you alternative answers. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Which of Saturn's moons has a single colossal impact crater, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
and has been likened in appearance to the Death Star | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
in the Star Wars series of films? | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
Um, I don't even know the name of the moons of Saturn, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
so, um, I'm not even going to be able to give an answer to that one. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
I'm really sorry. Want to guess something? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
Er... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
No. Nothing coming to my mind at all. Sorry. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
Let me just try with Daphne, whether you know this one. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Titan? No, Mimas. Oh, right! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
Mimas, M-I-M-A-S, is the answer. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
So, your question, Daphne, for the round. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
DY is the atomic symbol for which element of the Periodic Table, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
that derives its name from the Greek for "difficult to get at"? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
Oh, gosh. It's... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Dys-... Oh, what is it? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
Um... Dysprosium? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
Your answer is... Dysprosium. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Dysprosium is the correct answer! | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
This is the lady who claims not to sit around | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
reading the Periodic Table. It's number 66 in the Periodic Table. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
Very well done, Daphne! There we are, Andrew. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
She is rather good at dredging those strange facts up | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
from her enormous brain. Daphne, you're in the final. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
Andrew, sorry. You've been knocked out. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
Both of you come back and rejoin your teams, and we'll play on. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
So, the Celts have now lost one brain. So have the Eggheads. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
Sport now for you. Sport is the next subject. Who wants this? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
I'll take Sport, please, Jeremy. OK. Steve on Sport | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
against anyone but Dave or Daphne. I think I'll take on Chris. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
So it is Steve from the Celts versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
OK, so we're on Sport, Steve. Do you like your sports? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
I love my sport, Jeremy. Chris, are you best on the big sports | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
or the slightly more... You know me and sport, Jeremy. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
The weird stuff that nobody bothers with, I tend to know, | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
but the big stuff that everybody else knows, I don't. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
We're set up for an interesting contest. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Steve, do you want to go first or second? I'll go first, please. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
OK, let's see how you do. Good luck, you Celts. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
The Solheim Cup is a golf event for which competitors? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
Er, luckily I love golf. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
Don't think it's boys under 12, | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
and I definitely don't think it's for men, cos it's the Ryder Cup. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
I'm going to go for women, Jeremy, please. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
Women is the right answer. Well done! | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
OK, Chris. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
In baseball, what name is used for substitute batters? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
Ah! Yeah. Lurking in the dugout you will find pinch hitters. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
You're right. Tickle hitters would have been a Ken Dodd situation. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Indeed. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
Pinch hitters is correct. Second question, Steve. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
The horse Frankel was retired in 2012 unbeaten | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
after a run of how many victories? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Luckily again, I know my horseracing. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
Definitely wasn't 21. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I'm almost sure it's not seven. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
I'm sure it's 14. What a wonderful horse race he was. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
14 is quite right. Good stuff. Strong play! | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
You're doing well. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
OK, Chris. Which country's Formula 1 Grand Prix | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
is held at the Buddh International Circuit? Buddh is spelled B-U-D-D-H. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
The D-H ending, it doesn't sound very Hindi to me. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
Um... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Singapore, don't think so. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Or is it? | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
No. I'll go with Malaysia, Jeremy. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
I see why you've said that. I can see Barry's also surprised. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
Barry? It's India. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
It's India. Malaysia is Sepang. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
Buddh is in India. Is it? Ah-hah! Ah-hah! | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
So that means you could go through without getting another one right, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
but if you get this one right, you are through. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Third question. At the 1948 Olympic Winter Games, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Dick Button became the first man to complete which move in competition? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
Right. I don't know this answer. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
I think, as it's the Winter Olympics, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
ice-skating would definitely be in there. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
I'm going to guess, only because it's to do with ice-skating, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
the double axel, please, Jeremy. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
So, what was the sport, Eggheads? Ice-skating. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
You're quite right. And double axel was the answer, Steve. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
Well done. You're in the final round. Yes! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
And, er, yeah, very, very assured performance, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
if you don't mind me saying so. Didn't fall over on the ice. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Chris, bad luck. You're knocked out. Sin bin for you. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Both of you please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
Well done, Steve! Thank you. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
You made light work of Chris, and not many do that. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Just beginning to edge this contest, guys! | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
There's a lot of money on the table, as well. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
The Celts have lost one brain and the Eggheads have lost two | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
from the final round. The next subject is Film and Television, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
so which one of you would like this? Me. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Steve? OK. Against which Egghead? | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
It could be Kevin or Barry, one from either end. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
I'll take on Barry, please. OK. So, Steve from the Celts against Barry | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
on Film and TV. Been watching lately, Barry? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Yeah, quite a lot, actually. Set for a good contest here. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Steve, would you like to go first or second? I'd like to go first. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
Good luck. In which TV series did Edward Woodward's character | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
advertise his services via a newspaper ad | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
which began, "Got a problem? Odds against you?" | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
I remember watching this. It was in the '80s, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
and it was The Equalizer. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Absolutely right. The Equalizer it was, yeah! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
OK, Barry. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
Samia Ghadie became famous playing what character in Coronation Street? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
Ah, she did fairly well last year in Dancing On Ice, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
and she plays a lovely hairdresser who's Maria Connor. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
You're a fan of Coronation Street, aren't you? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Absolutely. One of the best shows on television ever. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
Maria Connor is the right answer. Well done. Steve, your question. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
George Kennedy played the role of Joe Patroni | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
in which film and its sequels? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
I remember watching this one, and it's Airport. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Straight on Airport, and you're quite right. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
It is Airport. Excellent. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
OK. Barry, Brain of Britain, your question. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
In which of Alfred Hitchcock's films | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
did Martin Balsam appear as Milton Arbogast? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
Milton Arbogast... | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
I don't think it was Psycho, and... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
I think it was Rod Taylor in The Birds. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
I don't remember that name in The Birds, with Tippi Hedren, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
which was a very scary film at the time, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
so I shall go, with not much confidence, by North By Northwest. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
I can see why you've done that, but the answer is Psycho. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Oh! I'm a great Hitchcock fan, and I'm confused by this. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
Is he the boyfriend? Who is he? He's the detective | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
who comes after Janet Leigh, and he gets murdered. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
He's the detective, who also gets murdered. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Well, your team is doing well here, Steve! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
We're in the same situation that the other Steve was in just before, | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
where if you get this one right, you're through. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Who stars as Marylou in the 2012 film adaptation | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
of Jack Kerouac's On The Road? | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
I don't really have a clue about this one, so I'll have to guess. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
Um... | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
I'll go Scarlett Johansson. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Scarlett Johannson is wrong. It's Kristen Stewart. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
So Barry has a chance to come back in. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Barry, your question. In 1949, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
which actress married Prince Aly Khan, | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
the son of the Aga Khan? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
I'm pretty certain it wasn't Ginger Rogers. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
I don't think it was Myrna Loy. I think it was Rita Hayworth. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
Eggheads, is he right? Yeah. He is. Well done, Barry. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Rita Hayworth is the correct answer. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
So, two points each, Steve. We go to Sudden Death. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Some great rounds we're having in this contest. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
Which American comedian is the star of the films | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
That's My Boy, Grown Ups | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
and You Don't Mess With The Zohan? | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
I think... I'm not sure. I'll have a guess. Adam Sandler? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:07 | |
Adam Sandler is quite right. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS Nicely done. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
I didn't think you were going to get that. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
OK, Barry. If you get this wrong, you're out. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
What was the name of the character played by Will Smith | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
in the TV series The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
Oh! | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
I never watched a single episode of this. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
I really don't know this, cos, as I say, I never watched an episode. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
I'll try a punt. Douglas. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
You'll kick yourself when I tell you, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
because the answer to the question is Will Smith. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
I was toying with that, and I thought it couldn't possibly be that! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
So named to ensure fans never mixed his real name | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
with his character. So Will Smith played Will Smith, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
and that means, Steve, well done! | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
You're through to the final round. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
It's going really good for these Celts. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
You're very good quizzers, but can you take the money? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Please come back and we'll play the final round. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. It is the final round, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
which is General Knowledge. Those of you who lost your head-to-heads - | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
here I look mainly at this side - won't be allowed to take part, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
so that is Andrew from the Celts | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
and it is Dave, Chris and Barry from the Eggheads. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
Please leave the studio. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
So, Steve, Steve, Brian and Scott, | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
you're playing to win the Celts £15,000. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something money can't buy - | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
This time the questions are all general knowledge, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
and you are allowed to confer. So, Celts, the question is, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
Don't look worried! You're playing really well. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
Would you like to go first or second? We'll go first, Jeremy. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
Good luck to you all. Here we go. Final round. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
For what does the letter B stand in the name of the charity | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
usually abbreviated to the RNIB? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
Blind. Blind. Definite? It's blind? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
You clear on that? Right. We'll go for blind? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
We'll go for blind. Blind is your answer. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Blind is correct. Royal National Institute of. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
Kevin and Daphne, in law, what is the word for someone | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
who contributes as an assistant to a felony? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Accessory, yeah? Accessory. Yeah. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
Er, accessory, Jeremy. Accessory is the right answer. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
One each. Back to you. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Which British folk-rock group took their name from that of a character | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
in the traditional song Horkstow Grange? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Steeleye Span. I think it's Steeleye Span. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
Fairport Convention not really a folk... | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
THEY ALL CONFER QUIETLY | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
There could be a character called Steeleye. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
Is that what we're going for? Steeleye Span? Yeah. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
Steeleye Span, we'll go for. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
The logic is great. It's the correct answer. Steeleye Span! | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
All Around My Hat and all that stuff. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
They got you under a bit of pressure here, Eggs! | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Knocked out three of your teammates. Let's see if they can knock you out. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
"Ruff" and "finesse" are terms in which game? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
It's bridge, isn't it? Bridge, yes. Finesse. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Yeah. Er, finesse certainly is a term used in bridge, so bridge. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
Bridge is correct. Two points each. Very tight. OK. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
Final round. £15,000. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Get this one right and then all the pressure's on them, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
and you may not have to do any more. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Which American magazine announced in October 2012 | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
that it was ceasing its printed version | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
to become a digital-only publication? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
Oh! No idea. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Any ideas? I don't know what Forbes is. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Like a lifestyle magazine, Forbes, isn't it? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
I'm familiar with Time and Newsweek, but not Forbes. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
I think there was a documentary, a guy who used to work for them, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
and he was complaining that they were going digital. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Did he work for Time magazine? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
When I first saw them come up... Did you think Time? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
I've seen a documentary with Time, about a guy who, um... | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
He was really upset about it. Go for that, then? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Shall we go for that? Yeah. I don't know. What do you think? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
Well, it was my first thought. OK. Yeah. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
I've got nothing to justify that, but... | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
OK. So we'll go Time, Jeremy. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
Time is an American magazine, but it's not the right answer. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
It's actually Newsweek. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
So if you get this right, you've taken the contest. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
Which London music venue was originally called Bechstein Hall, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
but was renamed during World War I? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
It's Wigmore. It's got to be the Wigmore, hasn't it? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Definitely. Yes, because Bechstein sounded a bit too German, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
so we think it's Wigmore Hall. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
What took you to that one in particular? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Cos it's the answer. We've both heard of it, so... | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
You've both heard of it. Well, that would help. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Oh, dear! They got it right! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
It is Wigmore Hall. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
And you were toe-to-toe with them through the whole contest, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
and you got it at the end. We do have to say, I'm afraid, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
congratulations, Eggheads. You have won. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
Steve and Steve and the Celts, you played a great game. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Best we've seen for a while. Yeah. It's that wretched third question. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
We played well, but... Next time you're passing a newsstand... | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Oh, yeah! ..don't look! | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Don't look. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
and their winning streak continues. You haven't won the £15,000. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
I'm sorry. So that money then rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
Eggheads, by which I mean Daphne and Kevin, congratulations. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
Who will beat you? | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
£16,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
