These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
can they be beaten? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
they are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
And challenging our quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
are The Safety Fire. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
This team are all members | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
of the same band and have been friends since their schooldays. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Hi. I'm Lori, 26, and I play bass guitar. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Hi. I'm Calvin. I'm 25 and I'm the drummer. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi. I'm Sean. I'm 25 and the singer in the band. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi. I'm Jo. I'm 26. I play guitar in the band and I'm a tattooist. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi. I'm Des. I'm 25. I'm a guitarist and also a music producer. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
Lori and team, welcome to you. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
And the band is called The Safety Fire | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
and you're all in it. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
Yes. We are The Safety Fire. We're a progressive metal band. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
We've known each other for years since the age of 11. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
I've actually known Calvin since I was four. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
And we started band through friendship | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
and now we travel around the world, play music | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
and it's probably the best thing ever! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Yeah, it probably is the best thing ever! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
"Progressive metal" is the only thing I'm struggling with. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Progressive usually means songs are a bit longer... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-and a bit more instrumental. -Indeed. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
But the metal bit, I'm thinking AC/DC. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
How do you put those two together? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
Imagine coming from the roots of Yes or King Crimson, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
then adding real solid elements of metal. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
So you mention AC/DC. That's a bit old school. Things have moved on in metal, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
but you're kind of coming from the right angle, at least. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Judith, is this your kind of music? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Oh, absolutely. Huge Hammers? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
You're a fan! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
I'm a fan. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Huge Hammers?! Where did that come from? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Huge Hammers. It's one of their...things. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
It was our first single that we released. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Well, that... You've taken me by surprise, Judith. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
She's obviously a fan with the shirt, as well. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
She's in the front at all of our shows. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
I can imagine that. Needed restraining! | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
So, Safety Fire, the Eggheads have won the last 25 games. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Which is sort of good news, really. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
So it means £26,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Who would like this? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Do you want to go? -I'll go for it, if you like. Sure. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
OK, Calvin. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
And which Egghead? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
Go straight at it. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-Kevin. -Straight at Kevin. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Charge him down. It's the best way. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Calvin from Safety Fire versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
OK, Calvin, good luck. Film & Television. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
And you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
I'll go first, I think. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Here we go with your first question. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Which TV sitcom featured James Fleet as Hugo Horton? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Well, I was never a big fan of The Inbetweeners. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
So I'm not sure of any of the characters in that. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
So that doesn't help me. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
I watched a lot of Peep Show | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
when it first started, so I'm fairly familiar with that | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and I'm pretty sure there was no-one in that called Hugo. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-So I'll go for The Vicar Of Dibley. -Spot-on with that, Calvin. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Vicar Of Dibley it is. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
First point to you. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
Kevin. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Who played the title role in four Superman films | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
between 1978 and 1987? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
EGGHEADS LAUGH | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
I love the other choices there! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
I think there's time for an alternative universe. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
It was Christopher Reeve. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Christopher Reeve is the right answer. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Calvin, your question. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Which film released in the UK | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
in January 2013 | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
was based on the book Team Of Rivals | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
by Doris Kearns Goodwin? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Er...I have not seen | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
all of these films, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
so I'm really not sure on any of this. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
It'll have to be a stab in the dark. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
I'll go for Lincoln. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
You play very well. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Lincoln is the right answer. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
What a guy! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
OK, Kevin. Which character in the US TV series Sex And The City | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
married Trey MacDougal? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
Never watched it. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
I'll try Miranda. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
You guys know? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:11 | |
-Pretty sure it's Charlotte. -It's Charlotte. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
You've got it wrong, Kevin. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
So we are back with you, Calvin. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
This is looking not bad, because if you get this right, you've knocked out the master. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-Sure. -The performer John Barrowman was born | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
in which country? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Er... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
I have no idea on this one. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
I'm going to take a punt at Wales. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Calvin, sorry, the answer is Scotland. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Never mind. -You're not out yet. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Another question for Kevin. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
He can mess it up. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Which actress was the recipient of the first | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
United Nations Correspondents Association | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Citizen of the World award in 2003? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
I don't know it, but they all... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
..they all do good works, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
and I suppose the most prominent one, who's been | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
doing them for some years, does lots of stuff with the UN | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
and various other organisations all over the world... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
..is Angelina Jolie. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
I don't know this, but I assume she's got to be the... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
the percentage guess here, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
just because of the amount she's very prominently done. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Although I'm sure the others have done their fair share as well. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
So I'll have to go for Angelina Jolie. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Angelina Jolie is the right answer. You've levelled it up. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
It's two points each, Calvin. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
We go to Sudden Death now. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-Bit harder, because I don't give you alternatives. -Yes. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Amanda Holden played the English teacher Miss Titley | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
in which TV series that started in 1999? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Well, I have no idea about this. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
I was thinking Teachers, | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
but I think that that's quite obvious | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
and I don't think she was in that, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
so I'm going to take a punt at a different TV show and... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
I'll say Waterloo Road. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Not The Teachers, not Waterloo Road. The Grimleys. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
I've never even heard of it! | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Kevin, your question. If you get this right, you're in the final. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
"He just landed the gig of his life, fifth grade" | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
was a tagline for which 2003 film starring Jack Black? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
It's the one where he's a rock musician | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
who goes to teach a bunch of kids | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
under false documentation. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
What's it...? School Of Rock. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
School Of Rock. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
School Of Rock. You'll know this. Is he right? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
Yes. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
Kevin, you've got the thumbs-up from your opponents. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
School Of Rock is the right answer, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
so you've taken the round. Sorry, Calvin. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-Well played, though. -That's all right. -You've been knocked out. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Kevin will be in the final. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
So, as it stands, The Safety Fire have lost one brain from the final round, | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
whilst the Eggheads have not lost a brain. But it's very early days. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
The next subject for you is Arts & Books. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Who wants this reading...? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
It's got to be Sean. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
-Sean. -I did my degree in literature, so... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
OK. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:18 | |
So which Egghead? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
I'll take on Dave, Tremendous Knowledge. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
OK, Sean from The Safety Fire versus TKD from the Eggheads - | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
OK, Safety Fire and Sean, we are doing Arts & Books | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
and you can choose whether you go first or second against Dave. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
I'd like to go first. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
So here we go. What is the first name | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
of the title character in the novel Doctor Zhivago? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Er... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
I haven't read that book, unfortunately. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Doctor Zhivago... | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
I mean, I'm leaning towards Yuri. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
Because that name just sounds more like it'd be Yuri... | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
I'm going to go for a wild stab and go for Yuri. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Not a great reason, but... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-Yuri is the correct answer. -Go on, Sean! | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Dave, here's your question. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
The Gracie Fields Theatre is located in which English town? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
It's in her home town. Rochdale. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Rochdale is the correct answer. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Back to you, Sean. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
What is the English title of the novel by the French writer | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Stendhal, of which Julien Sorel is the central character? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Um... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
Not too sure about this. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
It's a French novel. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
So I don't know if The Blue And The White is more to do with | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
sort of national colours of France. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Not sure about the other two. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
I'm going to go for The Blue And The White, based upon that. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
The Blue And The White is wrong. It's The Red And The Black. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
Tremendous Knowledge Dave, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
No-One Here Gets Out Alive | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
is the biography of which rock star? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
I've not heard of this. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Now... | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
I'm just thinking about concerts. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
And in the '60s and early '70s... | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
..a lot of problems with Doors concerts. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
So solely on that basis, I would go Jim Morrison | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
rather than the other two, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
but it's a total guess. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Let's see if our band know. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
We think it's Jim Morrison. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
It is Jim Morrison. The logic was absolutely spot-on. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
Jim Morrison is the right answer. Of The Doors, of course. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
OK, Sean. Which printing method | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
was pioneered by Alois Senefelder in the 18th century, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
using Bavarian limestone? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
I'm not sure. I'm aware of... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
quite familiar with a few lithographs. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
I haven't really heard of intaglio. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
Mimeography - I can only assume that's an exact copy of something. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
I'm going to go with lithography. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Lithography is your answer. It is correct. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Well done. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
So you've got two points. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
And you have to hope that Dave doesn't get the next one. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
If he doesn't, we go to sudden death. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Dave, here's your question. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Christy Mahon is the central character of which play | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
first produced in Dublin in 1907? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Right. Um... | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
First thing that came into my head | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
before the options came up | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
was The Playboy Of The Western World, for some reason. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
JM Synge play, so I will go The Playboy Of The Western World. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
Christy Mahon was the central character | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
in The Playboy Of The Western World. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
You've taken the round, Dave. Well done. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Sean, sorry, you've been knocked out by our Eggheads. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Let's see what happens next. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Both of you, please rejoin your teams. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
So...fire has broken out on this side, slightly! | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
-But the building has not yet gone down. -It's burning, though! | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Well, there's smoke - let's put it like that! | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
You've lost two brains from the final round. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
The next subject is History. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Who from The Safety Fire would like History? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-Lori. -I've been nominated! | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Lori on History. OK. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-Oh, God! -Against which Egghead? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Obviously, not Kevin or Dave. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Pat. I'll lose. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
Go for Pat! | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:12:59 | 0:13:00 | |
I'd like to nominate Pat. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
Lori from The Safety Fire against Pat from the Eggheads on History. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Do go to the Question Room now. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
So, Lori, you play the bass in the band. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
I do indeed. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
And you've got an interesting ancestor. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
I do, yes. My ancestor wrote, | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
I think maybe co-wrote, the first ever opera. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
His name was Jacopo Peri. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-Oh! -Eggheads? Look at this - we've got a reaction here. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Dafne? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-Dafne. -Dafne? -That's the first ever opera. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-It was called Dafne, we gather? -It was. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
There we are, Lori. How about that? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
He's an answer to a question to the Eggheads one day. No question about that. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
Just make sure I don't shame my ancestry now! | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
So it's History and you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
I'll take the first set of questions, please. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
Here we go on History, Lori. Good luck. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
At the end of World War I, Vittorio Orlando | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
was the Prime Minister of which country? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Vittorio Orlando sounds like an Italian name. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
Certainly not Greek. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Perhaps he was Corsican. He could have been French. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
But I'm just going to go down the middle with Italy. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
Italy is the right answer. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Pat... | 0:14:17 | 0:14:18 | |
The National Trust was founded in which century? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
National Trust. Um... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
I think most of the big charities are relatively modern. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
I think back in the Middle Ages, they just didn't care. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
So I suspect the National Trust | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
must have been founded in the 19th century. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
19th century is correct, Pat. Well done. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Lori. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
The Battle of Malplaquet in 1709 | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
was one of the main battles of which conflict? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
OK, trying to place... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
-Shall I spell it for you? -Please. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
M-A-L-P-L-A-Q-U-E-T. All one word. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
Um...Malplaquet with a silent T... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
I'm just going to go straight down the middle. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Another stab in the dark, | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
but maybe some reasoning. Hundred Years' War. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
No, it was the War of Spanish Succession. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
OK. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
OK, Eggheads. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Which American general accepted the Japanese surrender | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
at the end of World War II with the words, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
"These proceedings are closed"? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
It must have been... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
an extraordinary occasion. It was on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
And it was Douglas MacArthur. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Douglas MacArthur is the right answer. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
OK, Lori. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Your question. Third question now. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
You've got one wrong so far, so don't get this one wrong | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
or the band is going to be a solo performance, or heading that way! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
Cecily Neville, who died in 1495, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
was the mother of Richard III and which other English king? | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
OK. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
It's not Henry III. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
I'm going to go with... | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-50/50 - Charles I. -TEAMMATE: -No! | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
-Team, do you know? -I don't think it's Charles I. That's too late. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
There was a "no" that came from the soul there. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
When he said Charles I, there was... | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
there was a dying cry. It was the singer - that explains it. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-Edward IV is the answer. -Oh! | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Sorry. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
Edward IV. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
OK, there is a bit of smoke now, Safety Fire. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
So I'm afraid, Lori, you've been knocked out by our Egghead. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Pat, you will be in the final round. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Come back to us and we'll play on. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
So the Safety Fire have lost three brains from the final round, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-but their spirits are still high. -For sure! -OK, good. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
The Eggheads have lost no brains. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
You'll like the next subject - it's Music. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
I can't guarantee we'll have progressive metal, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
but who would like to go for this? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
Do you want to do it? | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
Go for Jo. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Jo. OK. Against which Egghead, Jo? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
-Judith. -Our biggest fan, Judith. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Jo from The Safety Fire versus Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
And a bit of an Eggheads moment now, because I can tell you this is your 900th head-to-head. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:36 | |
-Is it really? -In Eggheads, yeah. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
So to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
OK, so, good luck, Jo. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
Which question would you like - first or second? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
I've been told I should always go first. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
All right, First question for you, Jo. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
With whom did John Travolta team up | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
for the 2012 album release This Christmas? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Oh, man! | 0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | |
If I had to guess one, I'd say Olivia Newton-John, | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
just because of Grease. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
But he did that dance scene in Pulp Fiction with Uma Thurman. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
He didn't sing with her, so... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
I'd say I'll go for Olivia Newton-John. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Olivia Newton-John is the correct answer. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Well done. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
OK, Judith. Which group had a UK Top 10 single | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
in 1977 with Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:42 | |
I don't know. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
The Carpenters. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
Yes, you're right. How did you guess that, though? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
I just was lucky. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:53 | |
So one point each. Jo, over to you. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
In 2012, which singer embarked on a week-long 777 tour, | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
which saw her play seven world cities in seven days, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
travelling via a plane filled with journalists and fans? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
This is funny, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
cos before I came up here, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
Des told me that every answer would be Rihanna! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
And I'm pretty sure it was Rihanna. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
But they'll kill me if this is wrong. I'm going to go with Rihanna anyway. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Rihanna is the right answer! | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-That's just one to add to your rule, then, isn't it, Judith? -Yes. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Every answer is Rihanna, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
if in Music. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
They're always looking for rules, the Eggheads. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
If in doubt, go Pacific, cheese or antelope. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
And now we have another one - Rihanna. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Judith, your question. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
According to a recurring line in a song in the musical Kiss Me, Kate, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
"Brush up your Shakespeare and they'll all..." What? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Um...I think it's obey. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-It's actually kowtow. -Oh, no! | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Brush up your Shakespeare and they'll all kowtow. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-Oh! -Daphne would have known that. -Yes, she would have. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
She always knows musicals. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
So you have a little chance here. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
She's stuck on one, Jo. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
You can knock out your fan. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
Here we are. Who represented the UK | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
at the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
with the song Power To All Our Friends, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
finishing third in the competition? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
It sounds like possibly a religious thing. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Power of God, maybe. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
That would be a Cliff... | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
I don't know. I'm going to go with Cliff Richard. I have no idea. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Anybody over the age of 40? | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
Yeah, it's right. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
Cliff Richard is right. You've won the round. Well done. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
I'm sorry your 900th one-to-one | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-was not successful. -I had a feeling it would be. Against a real musician, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
I couldn't possibly win! | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-You lost on Music to a musician. That's true. OK. -No disgrace. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
No disgrace at all, Judith, but you are out. Jo, you are in the final. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
If you come back to us, we will play the final round for £26,000. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
So this is what we have been playing towards. It is time for the final round, | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
So Lori, Calvin and Sean | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
from The Safety Fire and Judith from the Eggheads, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
would you please now leave the studio. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
This is exciting. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
Jo and Des, you're playing to win The Safety Fire £26,000. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
you are playing for something money can't buy - | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
So, Safety Fire, the question is, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
And would you like to go first or second? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
We'll go first. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Here we go. In 2010, the actor James Nesbitt | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
was named Chancellor of which university? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
I have absolutely no idea. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
Me neither. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
Although there was a time travelling through the desert, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
I met a camel who had a telepathic conversation with me, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
which bestowed upon much information. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-Tremendous Knowledge. -Unfortunately, none of which | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
pertains to this question. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
Um... | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
-Glamorgan sounds kind of... -Sounds good to me. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-It's a solid choice. -Like Rihanna. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
Yeah. We'll go for University of Glamorgan. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
Right. OK. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
-Do you know the actor we're talking about? -No idea. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Cold Feet and... What other stuff did he do? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
He's Northern Irish - should have been the University of Ulster! | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
That's it. He's the University of Ulster. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-IRISH ACCENT: -James Nesbitt. He's got that kind of accent. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
OK. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Eggheads, the presence of alluvial gold in Turkey's Pactolus River | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
is attributed to which mythological king | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
having bathed in it? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
-Midas, yeah? -Midas. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
This was the man who was given the gift by the god Dionysus | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
that everything he touched turned to gold. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
And the only way he could cure it was bathing in the River Pactolus | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
and it was King Midas. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
King Midas is the right answer. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
Well done. Back to you. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
In cooking, the juice of which fruit is added | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
to a hollandaise sauce to make a maltaise sauce? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:55 | |
Maltaise is M-A-L-TA-I-S-E. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
You'd think that after watching so much... | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
Cookery programmes, we'd know this. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
I don't think it's ever come up. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
For whatever reason, something draws me towards blood orange. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
I don't know why exactly, but... | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
-It's like Rihanna! -Just like Rihanna! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
-It draws you in by the... -I'll go with that. I have no idea. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
We'll go for blood orange. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
You're right. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Well done! | 0:24:29 | 0:24:30 | |
Blood orange. I'm so glad you're right, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
because that sudden lunge at the answer was making me nervous. OK. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
All right, Eggheads. Lots of money | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
to play here, and they got one right, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
so let's see what you do on your second question. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
In the garden, | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Heavenly Blue is a popular cultivar | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
of which climbing plant? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:52 | |
-They're all climbing plants, aren't they? -Yeah. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
Doesn't help very much. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
Heavenly Blue... | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-Any idea? -No idea at all. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Heavenly Blue... | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
It doesn't have to mean... It obviously implies that it's blue. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
-Have you got any inclinations? -Very few. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
I'd guess at wisteria, but I've no particular... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
ALL TALK AT ONCE | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
We don't know. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
If there's any kind of inkle... | 0:25:23 | 0:25:24 | |
It's not an inkle, just.... | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
We'll go for wisteria, then? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Our horticulturist is sitting behind us, who probably knows the answer, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
but we don't, so we're going to have a pot at wisteria. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Wisteria is your answer. I'm sure Judith knows. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Well, I think it's Morning Glory. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
-Yes, you're right. -YES! | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
You're missing your...Daphnes and your Judiths there, aren't you? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
They'd be straight there. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
Des and Jo, you need to get this question correct. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
In which decade did the first International Silent Games, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:03 | |
now referred to as the Deaflympics, take place? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
Deaflympics is D-E-A-F, then "lympics". | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
I'll let you take the lead. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
I don't remember... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
One of the World Wars, I think... | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
-After or before? -I think it was during. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
It's either the 1920s, after the First World War, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
1950s, after the Second World War. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
I think 1980s is too far. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
Oh, what was it again? I saw this programme. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
-I don't know. -Have you got any feeling at all? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Um... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:41 | |
'50s. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
I was going to say '50s, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:44 | |
-but I have no idea. -Me neither. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
-Go '50s? -Go '50s. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
-If it's wrong... -We'll go for 1950s. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
OK. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
It was the 1920s. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Oh! | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
So, Eggheads, you've got one wrong as well, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
but if you get this one right, you have won the contest. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
Here is your question. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:05 | |
Which newspaper was founded in 1835 | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
by James Gordon Bennett Senior? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
It should be the New York Herald. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
He was a New York... | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
newspaper publisher. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
He sponsored several novelty events. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
I think I associate his name with the New York Herald. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
I THINK I do. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Are we happy with that? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-Yes. -I've not got any... | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
We're not 100% sure, but both Kevin and I had | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
New York Herald come to mind immediately. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
We think it's the Gordon Bennett who sponsored various novelty events | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
throughout the 19th century, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
so we're going to go for the New York Herald. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
The right answer is New York Herald. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. You have won. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
Well, you're definitely the liveliest team we've had for some time, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
so we've really enjoyed seeing you guys. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Look at them in the background there! | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Bit of pain there, | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
but thank you for playing with such gusto. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
Commiserations to The Safety Fire. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
-All the best with your music. -Thanks. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
It does mean you won't be going home with the £26,000, | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
£27,000 says they don't. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
