0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:36are the Geckos.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team all met on an online forum
0:00:38 > 0:00:42for fans of the Scottish indie rock band Teenage Fanclub.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Iain. I'm 37 and I'm a cartographer.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm David. I'm 43 and I'm a quality specialist.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Mark. I'm 41 and I'm a qualified accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm Lorraine. I'm 29. I'm a radiographer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Kevin. I'm 35 and I'm a faculty head of social subjects.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Iain and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Tell us about Teenage Fanclub for those who don't know how great they are.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Amazing band. They started life in the late '80s
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and had a number of albums through the '90s
0:01:14 > 0:01:16and they're still going strong today.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19They're actually in the studio now, recording.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23So you were all on a fan forum for a band called Fanclub
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and then you met and formed a quiz team?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Sounds like the start of a novel or something!
0:01:28 > 0:01:29There's an idea!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Tell us why you're called the Geckos.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35It's a bit of a long answer.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36But I'll shorten it.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40The ex-drummer of Teenage Fanclub started his own band
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and they had their own forum
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and a little logo in the emblem of that forum
0:01:47 > 0:01:49was a gecko.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51And for some unknown reason...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I only know...the ex-drummer of Teenage Fanclub.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57OK, so a band named after the ex-drummer of Teenage Fanclub. Brilliant! That's fantastic.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Good luck in this game.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, Geckos, the Eggheads have actually won the last 18 games,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14which means £19,000
0:02:14 > 0:02:16says you can't beat them today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And if you do, we'll get Teenage Fanclub to put on a concert especially for you!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Who would like this?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I think that's yours. I think that's down to me.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30OK. It's Iain against... Choose an Egghead, Iain.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Um...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I've thinking Dave.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yeah, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Iain on Geography from the Geckos versus Dave,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Tremendous Knowledge Dave, from the Eggheads.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, Iain, Geography. I know that's the subject you wanted, isn't it? It is, yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Because you map the roads of the UK somehow.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yeah. I work for a big mapping company,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01global mapping company,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and we have lots of people going out in the streets every day,
0:03:04 > 0:03:09visiting new roads, looking for new signs that are getting put up all the time.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, well, good luck in this round in Geography.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I'll go first.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Here we go with your first question.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Which of these is a port on the Uruguay River?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Um...OK.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Food themes.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I'm struggling here a little bit.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think I'm going to rule out
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Piccalilli.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44For no reason at all.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Um...
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Tabasco sounds as if... I'm assuming Uruguay River is in Uruguay.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Tabasco sounds a little bit...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Hispanic-sounding.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58But Fray Bentos as well.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I know it sounds like a really odd answer,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05but I think a lot of meat industry comes from South America as well.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Um...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'm tempted to say Fray Bentos.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I think I'll go with Fray Bentos.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Fray Bentos is your answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You got it right, and that is actually a very tough question,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19so well done. Very well done.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23It sounds like the silly one, the made-up one.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24OK, Dave, your question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Tasmania lies approximately 150 miles south
0:04:27 > 0:04:31of which state of Australia?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Victoria.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Straight in there.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Victoria is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Tremendous Knowledge Dave strikes again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Second question for you, Iain.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Cromarty is a sea port on which British peninsula?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56This is an easy one for me.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59My older brother comes from the Black Isle.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01A place called Avoch.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And it's very close to Cromarty,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05so my answer is the Black Isle.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Black Isle is the right answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09So you haven't mapped the Black Isle yet?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I have been up to the Black Isle on mapping expeditions
0:05:12 > 0:05:15before my brother moved there. Yeah, I have been there for mapping.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Amazing! How much of this country have you done yourself, personally?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20All over Scotland and northern England.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24As far south as Middlesbrough from the Scottish office.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Brilliant. OK, Dave, your question.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31In which country, Dave, is the ski resort of Sestriere?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Right, there's no accents? No, there are no accents.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If there's no accents, I'm going to go Italy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46You've got it in one, Dave. Well done. Italy is right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Iain, your third question.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What is the approximate population of Somalia?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Somalia. Um...
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I'm thinking population-wise and I'm thinking
0:06:05 > 0:06:09UK's not far off just over 50 million.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And Somalia's a bigger country.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Whether it's populous or not...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm going to go for...
0:06:23 > 0:06:2450 million. In the middle.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You're going to be surprised, because it's 10 million.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Many fewer than you might think.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Dave, you've had some good rounds recently.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You've put the jinx on now!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Sorry! I didn't mean to do that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Here we go.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42In terms of volumes of water,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46what is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I've got to go, on this one...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I've got to go with the Ohio River.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58What's your logic there?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Just that I thought it was a tributary of the Mississippi,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03so Ohio's my answer.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well done, Dave. Ohio River it is.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Iain, I'm sorry, because this is a really good subject for you,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10but you've been knocked out by an Egghead.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13A Tremendous Knowledge Egghead as well, so you won't be in the final round.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Please, both of you, come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21As it stands, the Geckos have now lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The next subject is Music.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Got to get some Teenage Fanclub in here.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Which of you would like Music?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Will I take the poisoned chalice?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I think it's Mark. That'll be myself. OK, Mark.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Against which Egghead? What do you reckon, guys?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I think Judith. Judith. I'm going to take on Judith.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Very decisive. How are we feeling on Music now, Judith?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, we never feel terribly good about Music.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49OK, so it is Mark from the Geckos versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52And to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57So, we're on Music. Mark, you can choose to go first or second.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I'd like to play first, please.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Mark, here's your first question.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09What was the title of the 1989 worldwide hit for the group Kaoma?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I do remember this for some particularly dodgy foreign holidays
0:08:16 > 0:08:17of my youth,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and I believe it was the Lambada.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It was the Lambada. Well done.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23First one to you. OK, Judith.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26In the lyrics of a Beatles song,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29which bird is singing in the dead of night?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I think it's blackbird.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40# Blackbird singing in the dead of night. # You're right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43That's what I did in my head. Blackbird is the right answer.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, over to you, Mark.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Who had a 1974 UK hit single
0:08:47 > 0:08:49with One Man Band?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58One Man Band. Now, it sounds familiar,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00but I can't straight off say who was in it,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02so let me try and eliminate it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It doesn't sound like a Leo Sayer type thing to me,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06so I'll knock him out straight away.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So between David Essex and Gilbert O'Sullivan,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and I'm veering towards Gilbert O'Sullivan.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'd like to put that forward as my answer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It's tricky. They're very similar artists in a way
0:09:17 > 0:09:20and obviously the same period as well. It is Leo Sayer.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Oh, well!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23You learn something new every day.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27OK, Judith, your chance to go ahead.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31For which musical role did Martine McCutcheon controversially win
0:09:31 > 0:09:34an Olivier Award in 2002,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36having missed many performances?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, Sally Bowles is Cabaret, isn't it?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I don't know what Julie Jordan... I think it was Eliza Doolittle.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Eliza Doolittle is correct.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53OK, so, Judith, you're ahead.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Mark, you need this one.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Pressure's on! We've got trouble.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59The oratorio Elijah,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03first performed in 1846, was by which composer?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK. This is not my strong point whatsoever.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And, er...
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Quite a tricky one for me.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I don't think it's Mendelssohn,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22because...I don't think it's Mendelssohn!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm going to go,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27looking between Meyerbeer and Massenet,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I think I'm going to go down the left-hand side
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and go for Meyerbeer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33My pronunciation could be wrong.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's actually not Meyerbeer.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm sorry to say it's Mendelssohn.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Twice I've done that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Sorry, Mark. So actually no way back in this round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Judith has taken the round on Music
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and she will be in the final.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Please come back to us here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53So, as it stands, the Geckos have lost two brains from the final
0:10:53 > 0:10:56whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Any change in strategy now?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I think we'll start answering the questions correctly!
0:11:01 > 0:11:02That is quite a good plan.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Who would like this one? Not, obviously, Mark or Iain.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12David, I think that's... OK. I'll take that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13David? Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Against an Egghead. Not Judith or Dave.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20I think Barry. Barry?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Barry, please.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24David, we wish you well.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26David from the Geckos against Barry on Arts & Books.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Please go to the Question Room.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Arts & Books. David, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'll go first, please.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And here we go. In 2012, who wrote the book Celebrate,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44containing tips on recipes and crafts
0:11:44 > 0:11:47suitable for celebrations throughout the year?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Um, I believe...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I remember vaguely something in the back of my mind about seeing this
0:11:56 > 0:11:57in newspapers.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think it was Pippa Middleton.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Spot on. Well done. Pippa Middleton.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Barry, your question.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The ballet A Simple Man was inspired by the life and works
0:12:08 > 0:12:10of which artist?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Well, it certainly wouldn't have been Salvador Dali.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18He was anything but simple.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And I think Vincent van Gogh was much too intense
0:12:21 > 0:12:24to be described as simple. It was LS Lowry.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It was indeed LS Lowry.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28That's the answer. One each.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Back to you, David.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Which PG Wodehouse story describes Jeeves's arrival
0:12:34 > 0:12:37as Bertie Wooster's valet?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47When I was a lot younger, I did read
0:12:47 > 0:12:49several of the PG Wodehouse books.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Er...
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I can't recall when Jeeves arrived.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58For no reason other than it's something in the back of my mind,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'm going to say Jeeves Takes Charge.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Jeeves Takes Charge is correct.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Playing well, David. Well done.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Over to Barry. Let's see how he goes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09See if the Teenage Fanclub fans
0:13:09 > 0:13:11can get a person in the final here.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Barry, which building is mentioned in the title
0:13:13 > 0:13:16of the Wordsworth poem which begins,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18"Five years have passed;
0:13:18 > 0:13:21"Five summers, with the length Of five long winters"?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I think that's the poem
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Lines Composed Five Miles Above Tintern Abbey,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34so my answer's Tintern Abbey.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Tintern Abbey is correct.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK, so it's two each.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43David, get this, put a bit of pressure on Barry.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44He might crack - he is an egg.
0:13:44 > 0:13:4829 Great George Street, London
0:13:48 > 0:13:52was the first home of which institution?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00This one I don't know.
0:14:00 > 0:14:0529 Great George Street? 29 Great George Street in London.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I'm really guessing on this. It's not something I know.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And I'm going to have to go with the Tate Gallery.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Let's see if the Eggheads know. Anyone?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17National Portrait Gallery?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Yes, Barry, you're right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21National Portrait Gallery it is, David.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So you got it wrong,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26and Barry has the chance to take the round.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29The Bibemus Quarries in France
0:14:29 > 0:14:33were a particular inspiration to which artist?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38The Bibemus Quarries.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I don't think it was Manet.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44It doesn't sound like his sort of thing at all.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46But it could be either Cezanne or Pissarro.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Cezanne was famous for painting Mont Sainte-Victoire.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I'm just wondering if the Bibemus Quarries
0:14:52 > 0:14:55were related to part of that mountain.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57So on that very specious premise,
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I shall go for Cezanne.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01If you've got it right, you're in the final round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The answer is Cezanne. Well done, Barry.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Yes, that kind of blocky painting... He did do quarries
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and he liked the Bibemus Quarries, and you're in the final.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12David, sorry - you've been knocked out
0:15:12 > 0:15:14by our Eggheads.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Both of you, please come back here and we'll play on.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22So, as it stands, the Geckos have lost three brains from the final round
0:15:22 > 0:15:25whilst the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29But don't worry - we've seen even a single player take them apart in the last round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So you very much are still able to win. Don't give up.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34The next subject is Film & Television.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Who have we got on this? I can give it a go. Lorraine, OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Which Egghead - Pat or Kevin?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Kevin? What do you think?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Go for Kevin?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Right, I'll go for Kevin.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54It was like a little whispering that became a murmur that became a cry of "Kevin"!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56ALL LAUGH
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Gradually the certainty built.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So Lorraine from the Geckos versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It's Film & Television. Lorraine, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Here we go. In 2000, a character called Sarah Sugden
0:16:17 > 0:16:21died in a barn fire in which TV soap?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I don't really watch any of these,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31but because of the barn...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34..theme, I think I might go for Emmerdale.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And the farm.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Good logic. You got it right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Emmerdale is correct.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42So you're in the lead. Over to Kevin.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45What is the title of the 2012 film
0:16:45 > 0:16:47starring Chris O'Dowd
0:16:47 > 0:16:49about an Australian singing group who entertain
0:16:49 > 0:16:53US troops during the Vietnam War?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's not one I've managed to catch up with yet,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02though I did mean to see it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Its release was a bit limited.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It's based on the story of a real group,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10and they're called the Sapphires.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yes, it is. The Sapphires is correct.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Lorraine,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Nixon Versus Kennedy
0:17:16 > 0:17:18and Blowing Smoke
0:17:18 > 0:17:21are episodes from which US drama?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26I'm thinking...
0:17:28 > 0:17:32House is a medical-based drama.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Six Feet Under is about undertakers.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38I'm just thinking Mad Men,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40but I don't know if that's too early.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'll go with Mad Men. SHE SIGHS
0:17:44 > 0:17:46No need to sigh - you've got it right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Well done.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It's roughly that period, isn't it?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52OK, Kevin.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56In which year was the panel show Never Mind The Buzzcocks
0:17:56 > 0:17:59first seen on British TV?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Never Mind The Buzzcocks. I don't know this.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't think it was as early as 1990.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I'm not inclined to think it was as late as 2002 either, so...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm having slight second thoughts now about 19...
0:18:22 > 0:18:23..90.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28I'll go for '96.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Aaargh!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You were so close to going for the wrong answer,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35then you went for the right one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'm emitting that sound on behalf of the challengers.
0:18:37 > 0:18:401996 is the right answer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42OK, sorry, Lorraine.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46You were almost in the lead over Kevin, which means all to play for.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47You can still do it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Who starred as restaurant owner Tom Stall
0:18:50 > 0:18:53in the 2005 film A History Of Violence?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I've not even heard of this film.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So...
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I'm thinking Viggo Mortensen was out round about that time,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10so I'm going to go with him.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14And discount the rest.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Viggo Mortensen is the right answer. Well done. Three out of three.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Good play. Very good play
0:19:19 > 0:19:21from our Gecko here.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Kevin, if you get this wrong, you'll be knocked out.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Ruby Catherine Stevens was the original name
0:19:26 > 0:19:28of which Hollywood actress?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35That was Barbara Stanwyck.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37With such certainty as well!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Barbara Stanwyck is correct. Well done.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42So it means it's three-all after three questions,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and we go to Sudden Death.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Lorraine, it's a touch harder,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48because I don't give you alternative answers. Here we go.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Your question. In 2012,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Andrew Simpson played the title character
0:19:53 > 0:19:57in the BBC's modern retelling of which Charles Dickens novel?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I'm trying to think.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I don't know if that's the one he never finished.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I'll just go with Little Dorrit, but I know that's not the answer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's Nicholas Nickleby.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15A chance for Kevin here.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18In 2022, Kevin, the novelist Will Self
0:20:18 > 0:20:21became a team captain on which TV comedy show?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yes...yes, I know he's the captain on something,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27but it's not something I've seen.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I have a vague recollection of something,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32but I can't remember which one it is.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37No, I'll... 8 Out Of 10 Cats. It's not that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39No, it's not. It's Shooting Stars.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Back to you, Lorraine. Sudden Death. Here we go.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Who played Pontius Pilate
0:20:45 > 0:20:48in the 1979 film Monty Python's Life Of Brian?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I don't know if it was one of them, but I'll say Terry Jones.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54No, it was Michael Palin.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Played with a slight problem with pronouncing the letter R,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02so he says, "Stwike him, Centuwion, vewy woughly!"
0:21:02 > 0:21:04That is the famous line.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06If you get this one right, Kevin,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08you are in the final round.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Which American businessman born in 1946
0:21:12 > 0:21:17is the central figure in a controversial 2011 documentary film
0:21:17 > 0:21:21by the director Anthony Baxter?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Born in 1946, so...
0:21:25 > 0:21:26..mid-60s.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Hmm.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I'll try Donald Trump.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36The film is You've Been Trumped and it is Donald Trump.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well done. You've got it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Donald Trump it is.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Sorry, Lorraine, you've been knocked out as well. That's OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Really sorry, but you've played well there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49We are now going to play, if you two come back to us, the final round.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:58 > 0:22:00won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So that is Iain, David, Mark and Lorraine
0:22:03 > 0:22:04from the Geckos,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07who've taken a bit of a pounding here.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Would you please leave the studio.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13OK, Kevin, this is the moment
0:22:13 > 0:22:16on behalf of all the Geckos, for whom you are playing to win £19,000.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19£19,000.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25of course, you're playing for something money can't really buy,
0:22:25 > 0:22:26which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You are allowed to confer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Sorry if that doesn't help you very much, but I need to say it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39So, Kevin, the question here really is
0:22:39 > 0:22:41whether your one brain
0:22:41 > 0:22:42can take out these five.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44We've seen it done. You can do it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I'll go first. I'll follow the trend.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Here we go. Good luck, Kevin.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55An anvil is an essential tool
0:22:55 > 0:22:57for which traditional worker?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03OK, um...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I'll cut straight to the chase here.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07An anvil, beloved of cartoons
0:23:07 > 0:23:11and Warner Brothers, is the tool of a blacksmith.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It is the tool of the blacksmith. You're quite right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Bet you're thinking of Tom and Jerry. Absolutely.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19They always came in handy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Eggheads, which word is used to describe tea
0:23:22 > 0:23:25which has been brewed for too long and become bitter?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30ALL: Stewed.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32That's stewed tea.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Stewed tea is correct.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Kevin. Madonna and Tiger
0:23:40 > 0:23:42are types of which flower?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Horticulture not really a strong point of mine.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Madonna crocus, Madonna dahlia...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Tiger crocus, Tiger dahlia...
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Tiger lily.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Tiger Lily is the name of
0:24:00 > 0:24:04one of Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates's daughter.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10So with that spurious logic, I'll try lily.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Go for lily.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Lily is the correct answer. Well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You were using brilliant logic there!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, Eggheads, to catch up...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24The Spanish word "vaquero"
0:24:24 > 0:24:27can be translated as what?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Cowboy. Cowboy. Cowboy.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Cowboy? Yes.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36That's cowboy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Cowboy is the right answer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43OK, Kevin. Here's your third question. Get this right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45There's £19,000 up here and really, it can happen.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Charlotte Rhead,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50spelt R-H-E-A-D,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52who died in 1947,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56was best known as a designer of what, Kevin? Take your time here.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, it's not a name I've come across before.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's not an interest, really,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08of mine, any of these things in particular.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Through watching things like the Antiques Roadshow,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14the big names in ceramics...
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Your Susie Coopers, etc, I'd maybe have a clue about that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Stained glass...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23is not really something I'd associate too much...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26..with the early 20th century.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Although I may be wrong in that, because I genuinely don't know.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Which would leave me with
0:25:32 > 0:25:33textiles.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37And I think that's the only answer I can probably give,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40because it's not something I have heard of before,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43so I'll have to try textiles for my answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46OK. To see if textiles is right, let me ask the Eggheads.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Not too sure. You don't really know?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Oooh!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Well, that's the definition of a hard question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's wrong. It's ceramics.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Sorry.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Let's hope...
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Let's hope they trip up
0:25:59 > 0:26:04and we go to Sudden Death. If they get this one right, they've taken the contest.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Which British fighting force has the motto
0:26:07 > 0:26:10"Utrinque Paratus",
0:26:10 > 0:26:13meaning "ready for anything"?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I don't think it's the Household Cavalry, do you?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Utrinque Paratus.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I don't THINK that's the Special Boat Service.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28But I might be...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Ready for anything does seem to...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Utrinque Paratus... They chose it because of parachute and paratus?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, it's not beyond the bounds of possibility.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I thought I'd heard the Special Boat Service one
0:26:43 > 0:26:45and that it was something different.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48But I may be entirely wrong there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I don't think it's the Household Cavalry.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'd go for the Paras.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I'm inclined to think of the Paras, but I don't know either.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Rings a vague bell, but that would be guesswork.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Total guesswork.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So it is a guess?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:27:06 > 0:27:09We're going to guess at the Parachute Regiment.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Very interesting watching you reason this out,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16because obviously, the word "paratus" and parachute are similar
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and subconsciously maybe you're connecting them
0:27:18 > 0:27:21and then I wondered if you'd wander away
0:27:21 > 0:27:23and decide that wasn't the connection to make.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25But you didn't. You stuck with it
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and you actually stuck with...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31..the correct answer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Parachute Regiment it is.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36So we have to say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37You have won.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I could see you thinking
0:27:45 > 0:27:49you could have got the logic there and gone to the same answer. I'd have gone for the same answer.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I'm sorry. You played well, Kevin,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and they could easily have got that wrong. You could easily have got yours right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Within a whisker of the £19,000. Luck.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Luck plays a big part in the questions you're given.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Maybe we should have that as OUR motto now!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04"Luck plays a big part"?
0:28:04 > 0:28:05No, "ready for anything"!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Don't go there, Barry!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09LAUGHTER
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Well, commiserations to Kevin and the team of Geckos.
