These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
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? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
This team of colleagues | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
all work for the same Swedish bank | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and take their team name from the fact that the boss is the current Lord Mayor of London. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi. I'm Liam. I'm 44 and I'm a money market trader. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi. I'm Nick, I'm 36 and I'm a foreign exchange salesman. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 55 and I'm a project manager. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi. I'm Brad. I'm 36 and I'm a bank business manager. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hi. I'm Richard. I'm 57 and I'm a compliance officer. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Liam and team, welcome. Good to see you. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Thank you. I won't describe you as bankers, don't worry! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
I know that grates a vibe! Tell me about the Lord Mayor of London thing. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Our boss of our branch in London, Roger Gifford, is lord mayor this year. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
He's taken a sabbatical from the bank. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Hopefully he's spreading the good news about banking | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
and trying to make us a bit better in the eyes of the public, I think. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
It'll help us all. You work together. Do you quiz together? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Occasionally quiz together. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
We all quiz in different teams. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Have you gone through some strategy for dealing with these five? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
A number of times! Anyway, good luck, guys. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
I hope the Lord Mayor of London is watching you competing in his name. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
So, Having a Mayor, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last 21 games | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
which means there's a handy amount of money to go through your tills if you win. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Shall we get cracking? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of... | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Which one of you would like this? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Brad, are you going to take that? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Brad, will you go for that? Yes, if no-one objects. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Brad, against which Egghead? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Go for Chris? Yeah, maybe Chris. Go for Chris. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Chris, please, Jeremy. Good luck to you, Brad. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Brad from Having a Mayor versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
OK. Film & Television, Brad. You can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Good luck, Brad. Here's your first question. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Who directed the film version of Les Miserables, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
released in the UK in January 2013? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Um, unfortunately, I haven't seen that film yet. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Um... But... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Um, it doesn't sound like a Guy Ritchie film to me! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
I think, Jeremy, I'm not sure why, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:17 | |
but I'm being pulled towards Danny Boyle. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
So I'll go for Danny Boyle. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Well, he was pretty busy in 2012 with the Olympics and all that. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
He didn't fit this film in. It was Tom Hooper. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
So, a chance for Chris to take the lead. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Chris, which MP was suspended by the Conservative Party in 2012 | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
after her decision to appear on the programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Ah. Louise Mensch got herself suspended. It wasn't for I'm A Celebrity. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
It was Nadine Dorries. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
It was indeed Nadine Dorries. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Brad, your question. Which company acquired | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
George Lucas's Lucas Film Ltd | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
in late 2012 for a figure reported to be over $4 billion. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
OK. So I think I remember this being in the news at the time. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
I believe that this company | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
is going to be making the next three Star Wars movies. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
That wouldn't fit the News Corporation! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
Time Warner doesn't sound right, either. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
So I'll go for The Walt Disney Company. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
The Walt Disney Company is quite right. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
You've got it. Off the blocks. Well done. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Chris, your second question. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Who directed and starred in the 2012 film Argo? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Not Eastwood. Not Clooney. Ben Affleck. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
He did rather well with that film, didn't he? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Yep. Ben Affleck it is. Well done. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
OK, so you need this one, Brad. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Who played the part of Kate Starling, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
the wife of Richard Briers's challenge George, | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
in the popular '60s sitcom Marriage Lines? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
OK. That was a little bit before my time. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
So I'm not too familiar with it, I'm afraid. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
So it is going to have to be a guess. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Um, I'm being pulled towards Prunella Scales. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
So I'll go for Prunella Scales, Jeremy. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
You're finding your rhythm here. You're right again. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Prunella Scales it is. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Chris, your question. If you get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
The 1970s sitcom Don't Drink The Water, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
a spin-off from On The Buses, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
was largely set in which country? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Yes, it was Stephen Lewis's Blakey, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
having packed in the buses and gone to live in Spain. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Spain. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
You're never going to get a question about buses or trains wrong! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
Spain is the right answer. Well done, Chris. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Bad luck, Brad. You've been knocked out. You won't be in the final. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Chris our Egghead will, but it's still very early days. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
As it stands, you've lost one brain from the final round. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
The next subject is Science. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Who would like that? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
You, or is it going to be me? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
This is what we talked about earlier. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Shall we take a risk? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
It's not risky. I'll do it. You want to go for it, do you? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
If you want. If you win, you'll be in the final, won't you. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
So you can't not go... OK. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
I'll go for it. Liam. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Against which Egghead? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Anyone but Chris. I don't know. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Shall we go for Dave. Yeah. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
"Tremendous knowledge Dave". | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
OK, so Liam from Having a Mayor versus "tremendous knowledge Dave" on science. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
Please go to the question room now. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
OK. Good luck in this round. Science. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
Liam, would you like to go first or second? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Here we go. In computing, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
what name is commonly given to software that is added to an existing program | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
in order to enhance it? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Hmm. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
The only one that I recognise there as a phrase that's been used before | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
is plug-in. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
Which I think I've seen pop up on my computer in the past. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
So it will have to be plug-in. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Plug-in is the right answer. It answers a question for me, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
cos I see this pop up. I don't know what it is. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
OK, Dave, your question. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
The word pulmonary relates to which part of the body? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Lungs. Lungs is the right answer. Well done. Straight there. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
OK. Back to you, Liam. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
Which of these was a large flightless bird | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
that was hunted to extinction by the Maori of New Zealand? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
Hmm. Not sure about that one. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Macaque I thought was some sort of monkey. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Maybe I'm wrong. Mica I don't recognise that word at all. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Moa rings a bell, and it sounds a bit Maori, as well. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
Perhaps cos it's half the word. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
So I'll go for Moa. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Yes, the moa was mown down by the Maori. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
That's right. Moa it is. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
OK, Dave, your question. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Bathyscaphes and bathyspheres | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
are vessels used to travel in which parts of the planet? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
I thought it was the oceans. It's to do with the depth of the sea. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
So oceans has to be my answer. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Spot on, Dave. Oceans it is. OK, Liam, back to you. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Sorry, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
he's not giving you any breaks here, is he? Not yet, no. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
He's known as "tremendous knowledge"! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
What common name was given to copper acetoarsenite, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
which was used as a pigment despite its highly toxic properties? | 0:08:55 | 0:09:01 | |
Well, copper's slightly reddish, but then it does go green | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
when it oxidises. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Don't know if that makes a difference. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
So on that basis, I'll rule out London Blue | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
and go for a 50/50 chance between green or red. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
So I'll go for Paris Green. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I think your team like that answer, do you, team? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Yeah. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Although you said it's red. I think of copper roofing and that's green. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Paris Green is the right answer. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Three out of three. Very good. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
So, Dave, tough contest. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Which of these astronauts set foot on the moon first? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:43 | |
It could be a mistake, but I'll go Alan Bean. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
I think Barry knows this. Barry? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Yes, it's correct. Conrad and Bean were the second pair to set foot on the moon. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
Oh, gosh, and how obscure are they? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
Because they're not the first. Amazing. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Alan Bean is the right answer. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
OK. Three out of three for you both. A very strong science round. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
It's sudden death. It's harder, now, Liam, cos I don't give you alternative answers. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
Mercury and which other member of the solar system have been labelled "the inferior planets"? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
It depends whether it means smaller or nearer to the sun. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
I'm going to guess it means smaller, which would mean Mars. So I'll go for Mars. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
Interesting. You've got exactly the right logic | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
and intelligently worked out that they're inferior because they're nearer the sun than the Earth. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:37 | |
It's Venus. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Dave, if you get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
In 1972, the American scientist John Bardeen | 0:10:43 | 0:10:48 | |
became the first person to win a Nobel Prize in which category twice? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:54 | |
I'll go physics. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Physics is correct. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Dave, very well done to you. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
Physics was the answer. You're in the final. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
Sorry, Liam. You played very well there and they're going to miss you. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
I'm sure they'll be fine! | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Let's see what happens next. Both please come back to the studio. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
As it stands, Having a Mayor have now lost two brains from the final round. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
The Eggheads have not lost any. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
The next subject is Arts & Books. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Who wants this? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
That was my other one. Who's going to do this? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
Are you going to stay here, then? So which of you two? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
If you're not fussed, I'll take it. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
You'll take it? Yeah. OK. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Nick's going to go Arts & Books. Nick is going for it. OK. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Nick against which Egghead? It can't be Dave or Chris. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Go for Kevin. Yeah, whichever. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
I don't mind, to be honest. We'll take on Kevin. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
So Nick from Having a Mayor versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
To ensure no conferring, please go to the question room. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
This is Arts & Books, now. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
You're up against Kevin. Would you like to go first or second? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
I think going first hasn't worked too well so far, so I'll go second. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Here we go, Kevin, with your question. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:03 | |
Which of these is the title of a poem by Philip Larkin | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
describing a railway journey from Hull's Paragon Station? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Right. Um, sounds like more one for Chris, this, doesn't it? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
But anyway, The Whitsun Weddings is a Larkin, so... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
You're right. The Whitsun Weddings it is. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
OK. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
Over to you, Nick. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
The character created by Leslie Charteris and known as The Saint, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:39 | |
is called Simon what? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
I actually remember a TV series called The Saint. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
It's going back I'm not sure when, a few years ago. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
I did see a few of those, so I'm fairly confident | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
and also when it came up, Simon Templar seems to ring a bell. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:01 | |
I'm pretty sure it's Simon Templar. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Simon Templar it is. Well done. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Kevin, your question. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
"Is It Just Me?", published in October 2012, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
is a book by which TV personality? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
Well, I haven't read it, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
but I think, luckily, I have, just by chance, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
recently seen it somewhere on a bookshelf! | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
I think it's Miranda Hart. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
It is Miranda Hart. You're correct. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
So, level pegging, if you get this one right, Nick. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
A famous painting by Henri Matisse | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
features a cylindrical bowl of water containing what? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
Right. Um... A complete blank on that, to be honest. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
A cylindrical object with three jellyfish in? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
It would be pretty big and wouldn't make a lot of sense. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Well, to me it wouldn't! | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
Yeah, it's a 50/50 guess. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
I think goldfish. I'll go with that, please. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
It's goldfish. You're quite right. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Well done, Nick. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
OK, Kevin, your question. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
In the 1990s, the Job Centre worker Sue Tilley, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
sometimes referred to as Big Sue, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
was a muse for which painter? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Yeah, I think he famously painted her in the nude. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
She was a rather large lady. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
This was Lucian Freud. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Lucian Freud is the correct answer. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Nick, you need this to stay in. He's playing well, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
but then he always does! | 0:14:43 | 0:14:44 | |
Here's your question. Which artist won the 2012 Turner Prize | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
for a series of video installations? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
It's a complete guess, but for some reason Luke Fowler stands out. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
But to be honest, I don't even know who he is! | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
A complete guess. I'll go with that one, Luke Fowler. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
It's a tough one. It's not Luke Fowler, it's Elizabeth Price. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
If you don't know it, there's no way of guessing that. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
The famous Turner Prize has taken you out of the contest, Nick. Sorry. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
Kevin will be in the final. Please both you return to your teams. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
So as it stands, we have a problem, Houston, don't we? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Yeah! But you can still come back. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
And remember that the Mayor of London is watching! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Yes. Is there a message for him at this point? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
We're sorry! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
So three brains gone from the challengers. The Eggheads are still intact. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
No cracked shells yet. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
The next subject is History. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
Who would like History on this side? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Going to go for it? I'll go for it. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
Richard against which Egghead? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Your choice. Who have we got? Barry, Daphne? I'll go for Daphne, please. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
Richard from Having a Mayor versus Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
History. First or second, Richard? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Here we go, Richard. Good luck. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
If a highwayman was a thief on horseback who robbed travellers on the highway, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
what name was given to an equivalent robber on foot? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
Um, toepunt doesn't sound too likely. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
It's my skill at football, toepunting! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Brown heeler doesn't ring a bell. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
I certainly think footpad is the answer. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
The footpad. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Footpad is the right answer. Well done. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
OK. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
The contestant in the pearls is next! | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
During the 15th century, the house of Aviz was a royal house in which European country? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
It was Portugal. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
It was, indeed, Portugal. Correct answer. One each. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Back to you, Richard. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
The Sasanian Dynasty, also known as the Sasanid Empire, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
ruled in which area of the world from the third to the seventh centuries? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:21 | |
I certainly don't think Norway fits the bill. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Mexico seems rather remote. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
And I think for the period you're talking about, | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
I'll plump for Iran. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
You went there brilliantly. Iran is the right answer. Well done. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
OK, Daphne. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
The 19th-century French businessman Louis Hachette | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
was particularly associated with which type of business? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
Ooh! | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
Haven't heard of him. Um... | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
He could be any of those. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
Sorry, team. Pure guess. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Transport? | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
Who knows? Any Eggheads know? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Publisher. They say publishing, Daphne. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
Oh. OK! | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
So you got it wrong. The answer was publishing. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Your chance, then, with this question to take the lead, Richard. Maybe turn things around for you. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
The Lorenz cipher machine, widely used by German forces in World War II, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:33 | |
was given what nickname by the British? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Oh. Uh... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Interesting names. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
Clammy, Tunny, I'm not sure. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
I'm going to go for Squiddy. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
But it's just a pure guess. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
The Lorenz cipher machine was actually nicknamed Tunny. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
So Daphne has a chance to catch you. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Marie Louise O'Murphy, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
believed to be the subject of nude portraits by Francois Boucher, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
was the mistress of which French monarch? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Ah. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:16 | |
Louis XV. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Louis XV it is. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
OK. Two points each. We go to sudden death. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Gets harder, Richard, I don't give you alternatives. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
The literary attacks on the hierarchy of the Church of England | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
that were written under the pseudonym of Martin Marprelate | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
took place during the reign of which sovereign? | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
I'm thinking it might be Charles I. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Charles I. Written in 1588, 1589, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
not Charles I, Elizabeth I. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Daphne, get this right and you're in the final round. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
In the United States, the tax protest known as The Whisky Rebellion | 0:19:53 | 0:19:59 | |
occurred during which president's tenure in office? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
I think it was early on. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
George Washington? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
It started in 1791. You're right, it was George Washington. Well done. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
You've taken that History round against, I sense, a very strong player. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Richard, commiserations. Thank you. Been knocked out by an Egghead. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
You won't be in the final. If you rejoin your teams, we will play that final round. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
As always, that is general knowledge. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
It's happened a lot, recently, the challengers have been reduced to one. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
So no shame in that, but it's not going to be easy for the last remaining player. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
We have to ask Liam, Nick, Brad and Richard from Having a Mayor to please leave the studio. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:50 | |
Simon, you are playing to break the Eggheads' bank here. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
That's what needs to happen. £22,000 you'll win if you triumph. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
you're playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
The questions are all general knowledge. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
You are allowed to confer! No help to you, I know! | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
So, Having a Mayor, the question is, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Simon, would you like to go first or second? | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
I think I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
Good luck. The town of Saffron Walden is in which English county? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
OK. Well, I know Dorset fairly well. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
It's certainly not come across my radar there. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
I recognise it from being on the way up to Cambridge | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
so I would say Essex would be my answer, Jeremy. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
Essex is correct. Well done. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Always good to get that one right. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Eggheads, who wrote the book for the musical Viva Forever!, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
which made its West End debut in 2012? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
ALL: Jennifer Saunders. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
We're all in total agreement. It was Jennifer Saunders. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
It was indeed Jennifer Saunders. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
OK. Back to you, Simon. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
Legio Patria Nostra is the motto of which organisation? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
I think I'm probably going to eliminate the FBI. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:42 | |
I'm not sure about the Salvation Army. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
I'm tending towards the French Foreign Legion, I think. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
French Foreign Legion is correct. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
Eggheads, your second question. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
See what you do with this. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
The iconic photographic portrait taken by Steve McCurry in 1984 | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
of an Afghan girl with distinctive green eyes | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
first appeared on the cover of which magazine? | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
ALL: National Geographic. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
It was probably one of the most striking images ever | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
and it appeared on the cover of National Geographic. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
National Geographic is the correct answer. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
Two each. Hang on in there, Simon. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Get this one right, and they could just fall apart. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
The opening fanfare from Leonard Salzedo's Divertimento for brass | 0:23:29 | 0:23:35 | |
was used as the signature music for which TV broadcasts? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
I don't really have a clue about this one. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
I don't recall there being any fanfare for Ceefax. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
The Trade Test transmissions, I remember the old days, but not a variety of music. | 0:23:54 | 0:24:01 | |
I think I'll have to go straight down the middle and go for The Open University, Jeremy. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
You're correct. The Open University is the right answer. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
You've played a perfect round so far, Simon. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
And you may not have to do any more. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
If the Eggheads get this one wrong, £22,000 is going to be yours. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
Your question, Eggheads, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
get this one wrong and the money goes to the bankers! | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
I know how good that'll make you feel(!) | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Which football manager played for The Seattle Sounders | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
in the USA between 1976 and 1979? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
Right. I know what I'm inclined to say. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
But I can't have any guarantees on that. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
But Harry Redknapp would... | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
I'd rule out Wenger. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Hmm. Yeah. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Now, it's a question of how long Roy Hodgson's been coaching. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
He started quite early, didn't he? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
He started in his mid... Redknapp was playing in the '70s. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
And finished off, I think, at Bournemouth. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
I think he was still playing in the 1980s. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
So it's not beyond the realms of possibility | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
that he would go to Seattle | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
to play football. Mm. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
And then he was certainly playing in the lower leagues with Bournemouth | 0:25:19 | 0:25:24 | |
in the early '80s. Yes. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
So that makes sense. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
But it's towards the break-up of the North American soccer league. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
When did Hodgson take his first coaching post in Scandinavia? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
I think that would be about the '80s. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Yeah, the '80s. But what... | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
It could be Hodgson. It could be. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
But I would really have an inclination towards Harry Redknapp. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
I would, too. Agreed? I'm happy with that. Take it. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
Well, I've listened to the argument carefully | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
cos the first thing that came to my mind was Harry Redknapp. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
But I needed facts to back it up. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
So on that basis, I'm happy to go with it. I'd go for Harry Redknapp. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
We're all happy with it? Go on. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
As you've gathered, there's a fair degree of uncertainty in our answer. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
But we're all decided that we're going to go for Harry Redknapp. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
The person in question played 24 games for the Seattle Sounders. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:17 | |
Scored not once! It was Harry Redknapp. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Phew! Well done! Well done! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
I'm sorry, Simon, about that. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
That's annoying! You were going to be through on goal, there! Yeah. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Goodness gracious me! They were not certain. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
Although well done to "tremendous knowledge Dave" for plugging away. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
OK. We go to sudden death. Big jackpot. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
£22,000. It's been a while since we've had one that big. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
Gets a bit harder, as you know. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
Simon, the version of the song Mad World by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules | 0:26:43 | 0:26:49 | |
featured on the sound track of which 2001 film? | 0:26:49 | 0:26:54 | |
I'm not sure. I'll just have to offer a complete guess. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Fargo. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:04 | |
It wasn't Fargo. Eggheads? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
A surreal, crazy film. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Although a brilliant movie. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:13 | |
So if the Eggheads get this one right, they've ended the contest. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
"Who's on first?", was the title of a famous routine | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
by which American comedy duo? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
ALL ANSWER IN UNISON | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
Abbott and Costello. Definitely Abbott and Costello. Yeah. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
It's a well-known Abbott and Costello routine. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Do you think they're right, Simon? I'm afraid I think they're right! | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Eggheads, the answer is Abbott and Costello. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
You're right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
Many teams that get the three right in the final round don't have to do any more work. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
So it's a shame they took you to sudden death | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
cos if there had been a bit more uncertainty on Harry Redknapp, who knows? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
Yeah. Interesting. | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
Well played. I hope you enjoyed it. Had a good time? | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
We've had a great time. Thank you very much. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
Glad you enjoyed yourself. Thank you. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Sorry, the Eggheads are on a great run of form. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Commiserations to Having a Mayor. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
This team have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
And their winning streak continues. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £22,000. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
So the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
£23,000 says they don't! | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
Until then, goodbye! | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
