These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is - can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 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. Challenging our quiz champions today | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
are Homed To Perfection. This team of colleagues all work | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
for the same housing association in North Lincolnshire. Let's meet them. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
Hi, my name is James, I'm 22 and I'm a customer adviser. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Hi, my name's Craig. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
I'm 51 and I'm an antisocial behaviour co-ordinator. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi, my name's Lynn. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
I'm 51 and I'm a sheltered and retirement scheme officer. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, my name's Sharon, I'm 41 and I'm a head of finance. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 41 and a customer adviser. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Welcome to you, Homed To Perfection. Whose bright idea was it to take on the Eggheads? | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
That would be Dave's, unfortunately. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-That's me. -Dave, you get the glory or the blame, depending on how it all goes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
-Are you a regular viewer of Eggheads? -I most certainly am. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Do you quiz at all together, James? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
We've actually never quizzed together as a team before. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
It could be our final quizzing stand, really. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Or it could be the start of a beautiful relationship. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Definitely. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Let's get going. Let me tell you what's been happening up to this point. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Homed To Perfection, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
which means, of course, £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
Let's get on with it then. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Any one of you can take this on | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
as it's the opening round. Geography, who wants to play? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-Craig. -Yeah. -Craig, yeah? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
OK, I'll take Geography, yes. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-All right, and which Egghead would you like to take? -Now then, we'll focus on our strategy. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
I can't remember what we said. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-I think it's got to be either Barry or Chris. -Barry or Chris? -I'd go for Barry if I were you. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:25 | |
It'll be Barry then. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
Right. "I'd go for Barry if I were you," Craig obeying orders there! | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-LAUGHTER I always do. -Of course. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
It's Craig and Barry into the Question Room, please, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
just to make sure you can't confer. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
So, Craig, what's your feeling, what's your choice? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
I'd like... Yes, I'll take first, please. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Very good luck to you, Craig. It's Geography, first question. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
A part of a country that's separated from the rest geographically | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
and surrounded by other countries is known as what? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Right, now... | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Looking at that, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
I have to say I'm struggling on my first question. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
I won't go down "exclave" | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
because that's probably like it's excluded. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
"Un..." is... No. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
So I'll go in the... As it's inside, I'll go "inclave". | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
OK, "inclave"... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
It's not. It is "exclave". | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Excluded, I suppose it is because it's not joined up | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
with the rest of the country. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Let's see how Barry does. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
What is the name for the system of roads | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
that connects many major US cities? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
There's been a fair number of songs written about these. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
I believe they are interstate highways. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-Interstate highways? -Yes. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
Craig, see if can you can get this. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
In the early 1970s, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
the Royal Seaforth Dock opened at the mouth of which estuary? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
Right. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
The Royal Seaforth Dock... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Early '70s... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
I'm trying to think. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
The Thames would be the docks... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
The Mersey, Liverpool. The Severn which will go down towards Bristol. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
I think I'll go for... Again... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Thames. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
OK, Thames for the Royal Seaforth Dock... | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
In the 1970s, it was opened in the Mersey. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-Oh, dear me. -The Mersey. -Bad start. -Bad start, but tricky questions. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
Don't beat yourself up, Craig. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Just relax. Hope Barry doesn't get this, though. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Water from Lake Tanganyika ultimately flows out into where? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
Well, Tanganyika is on the eastern side of Africa, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
so that would mean it should flow into the Indian Ocean. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-OK, the Indian Ocean, you think? -Mm-hm. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-No! -Oh. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
It is the Atlantic. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-You surprise me. -That's surprising a lot of the Eggheads as well. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
Yes, well, good news for you, Craig. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
It means you get another question. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
You need to get it. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
In terms of land area, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
what is the smallest province of the People's Republic of China? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
I've heard of the Sichuan area and the Yunnan area. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
I've never heard of Hainan. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
The smallest... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
I'll take a complete guess of Yunnan. I'm going down the middle. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
Yunnan for the smallest province of the People's Republic of China... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
No, Craig, it's not the right answer. Sorry. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Barry, do you know, of the other two? It's an easier question. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
It's Hainan, a smallish island off the coast of China. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
You did know it, Barry - Hainan. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
A really tough set there. A very broad category, Craig. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
No damage done | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
to the overall team's chances. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
It's the first round and a lot of quizzing to do. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
But no place for you in the final round. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Craig, I sense you're a bit deflated, you would be after losing, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
but you've still got a part to play in the team. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-Yeah. -Cheering them along | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
as they try and get the money and in the selections against the Eggheads. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
As it stands, Homed To Perfection | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
The Eggheads are all there, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
but we've only played one round. Let's play another one - Music. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
Who'd like to play this from Homed To Perfection? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-That's going to be you, James. -James. -Yeah. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
-I'm happy with Music. -Go for it. -Yeah. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
OK, James, and choose any Egghead apart from Barry. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
I think it's got to be between Daphne, Pat or Dave, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-but I'm not quite sure which one. -Daphne? -Yeah, I'll take on Daphne. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-All right, James and Daphne... -DAPHNE SIGHS | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
What was that? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
Was that your battle sigh? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
-Yes. -Rather than a battle cry. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
OK, James and Daphne, into the Question Room, please. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
James, I hear your big brush with music stardom came | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
when Bryce Avary drew on your face with a marker pen? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
Yeah, that's correct, just after a concert he did in Manchester. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:47 | |
He drew all over my face in permanent marker pen. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
I had a job interview the next day, so... | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
What did he draw? Can you tell us? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
I got a nice, curly moustache and a spiky goatee, | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
as well as American football marks under my eyes and everything, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
then he put his signature on my chin. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Did you manage to get it off before the interview? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
No, not at all, but I still managed to get the job. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-It's not this current job, is it? -No, not this current one. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
I think I can just still see that little... No, it's gone. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
OK, James, would you like to go first or second? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
OK, off we go and your first question. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Which song from The Sound Of Music begins with the line, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
"There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall"? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
Well, I'm not 100% sure. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
I can't say that I've seen it at all, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
but I think I might have seen the scene, hopefully, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
and they are near the stairs, so I'll go for So Long, Farewell. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
Well done, yes. You haven't seen it? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
I haven't actually seen it. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
OK, well, there we are, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
but got the question right - So Long, Farewell. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Daphne, first question. What name is given to the type of music | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
that originated on the west coast of the USA in the early 1960s, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
featuring vocal harmonies and guitar riffs? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Sounds like Surf Music? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Surf Music? Yes, of course, the right answer. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
And, James, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
which singer was the final act at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
in London in June 2012? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Again I can't say I watched that. I must have had prior engagements. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
But I'm going to take a bit of a guess at Paul McCartney. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
Paul McCartney, bit of a guess, but got it again. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Hadn't seen that either. Doesn't matter. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Daphne, who composed the 1934 work Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
Sergei Rachmaninov. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
And the answer is Rachmaninov. Well done, Daphne. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Two-all. James, quizzing well here. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
Which song was the UK's number one single on the first day of 1970? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:27 | |
This is quite a bit before my time, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
so this is going to have to be a complete guess, I'm afraid. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
There's actually only one song that I think I recognise, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
so I'll have to go for Sugar, Sugar. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
It's not Sugar, Sugar. Daphne, what do you think? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-Two Little Boys. -Yeah, Two Little Boys. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Nothing there. Daphne doesn't get the point. That was out of interest. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
She must answer her third question. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Daphne, who topped the UK singles chart in 2012 | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
with the song Call Me Maybe? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Oh, dear. I was reading this the other day. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
And I've forgotten it. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Carly Rae Jepsen. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
It's like a very short gestation period | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
while she incubates the thought and out pops a fully-formed | 0:11:23 | 0:11:29 | |
and correct answer - | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Carly Rae Jepsen. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
Well done, Daphne. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Apologies, James. Bad luck. Two out of three, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
but it wasn't good enough. No place for you in the final round. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
Homed To Perfection, the quizzing not quite perfect yet, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
but getting there, edging in that direction. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
You've lost two brains from the final round | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
and the Eggheads are all still there. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Our third head-to-head, the subject is Film & Television. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
Who'd like to play this? Film & TV. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
Do you want to do this, Sharon, or do you want me to do it? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
I'll give it a go. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
-Sharon. -Yeah. -Me. -All right, Sharon, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
and who would you like to choose from the Eggheads? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Daphne and Barry have now played, so you have Pat, Chris or Dave. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
-I think you should go for Dave. -Dave? -I'll take on Dave. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
OK, Sharon and Dave, into the Question Room, please. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
Sharon, would you like to go first or second? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
OK, Sharon going first on Film & Television | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
and this is your first question. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
The actress Berenice Bejo played the female lead | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
in which Oscar-winning 2011 film? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
I've seen Midnight In Paris and I don't remember her in there. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
The Iron Lady was about Margaret Thatcher | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
and that was played by Meryl Streep. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
I know The Artist was a French film, so I'll pick The Artist. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
Yeah, good choice. It's the right answer. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
OK, The Artist there. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
Dave, The Wedding Party, Gourmet Night and The Germans are the titles | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
of three episodes of which TV series? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
I'd love to see Starsky and Hutch do The Gourmet Night and The Germans! | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
DAVE LAUGHS | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
I can't see much of a wedding party in Blake's 7. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-We've got to go with the classic Fawlty Towers. -Fawlty Towers... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
It's the right answer, yes, Fawlty Towers. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
Good start, Sharon. Second question. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
The opening credits of which TV drama series played out | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
over film of a single swinging light bulb? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
It wasn't The Professionals because I used to watch that | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
when it was on TV in the '70s or '80s. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
I haven't seen either Shoestring or Callan. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
It's a guess | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
and I'll go for Shoestring. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
OK, got it down to 50/50, knew it wasn't The Professionals. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
It's not Shoestring though, so it is Callan. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Callan there with the swinging light bulb. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
OK... | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Dave, a chance for the lead. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Who played the title role in the 1961 historical epic El Cid? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
Three Hollywood legends, sadly no longer with us. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
It's not Lee Marvin, it's not Tony Curtis. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
It tends to be when these big movies came around at that time... | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Or big films. I shouldn't say "movies". I'm British. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
When big films came at these times, the big-budget ones, | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Charlton Heston tended to be in the frame in that time period, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
so it's Charlton Heston. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
OK, the go-to man. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
If he wasn't racing his chariot, he was being El Cid. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
It's the right answer, Charlton Heston, and you have a lead. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
Sharon, you need to get this. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
Who was the star of the early 1960s comedy show It's A Square World? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:17 | |
I have absolutely no idea. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
I was born in 1970, so I missed out. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
I can't think that it would be Ronnie Corbett. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
I don't know who Michael Bentine is. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
David Frost... | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
I only know him as a presenter, I think. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:43 | |
I'm drawn to Michael Bentine, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
but the last one I was drawn to, Shoestring, was the wrong answer. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
But I'll still go with him, I think. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
OK, Michael Bentine... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-It's the right answer. -Hey! | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
Michael Bentine. Well done, Sharon. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Well before your time, never saw it, but got him. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
You have to hope Dave doesn't get this. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Which actress plays Elizabeth Taylor | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
in the 2012 film Liz & Dick? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
Right, well, Zooey Deschanel's New Girl, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
so I don't think she's got time to do that big production, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
although she's obviously moving on to big pictures. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
I don't think it's Greta Gerwig. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
I'm not entirely sure, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
but I do seem to remember a lot of publicity surrounding Lindsay Lohan | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
on a movie project. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
It probably was Elizabeth Taylor, so I'll go Lindsay Lohan. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
OK, Lindsay Lohan in Liz & Dick as Elizabeth Taylor... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-It's the right answer, Dave. -Is it? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Yeah, you've taken the round, but only just, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
just squeezed out again... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-It's how they fall sometimes. -Indeed. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Sharon, you won't be in the final round. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Bad luck, Sharon. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
Again knocking at that door here, but just not getting through. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Homed To Perfection have now lost three brains from the final round | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
and the Eggheads are unscathed. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Let's see if that changes in our last head-to-head on History. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
So, two players available, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-Lynn or Dave. -Dave? -Dave? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-I think it's got to be Dave. -Dave. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
It looks like it's me. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
OK, Dave, and two players from the Eggheads available as well. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-They are either Pat or Chris. -I think Pat, in my opinion. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-Pat? -Yeah. -Yeah? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-Go for Pat? -Yeah, we'll go for Pat. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
OK, let's have Dave and Pat into the Question Room, please. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
Well, then, let's play Eggheads. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
OK, Dave, I know you like your factual books, don't you? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
You like history. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
-I certainly do, yes. -Any particular period you concentrate on? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
Second World War mainly. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
Let's hope some of those questions come up | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
in the first or second set for you? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
As it hasn't been that successful in the first few games, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
I think I'll go second, please. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Dave deciding to let Pat start, the Egghead, and Pat, here you go. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
Which king appears at the very start of the Bayeux Tapestry? | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
Which king appears at the very start of the Bayeux Tapestry? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
I think it was created shortly after the Battle of Hastings. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
That's my feeling, anyway. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
Henry I is some years later | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
and William III is centuries later, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
so Edward the Confessor, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
who was in power in the early part of the 1000s, | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
must be the best candidate there. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Willie, Willie, Harry, Steve. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Henry I was the third king after the invasion. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
I'll go with Edward the Confessor. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
Once you established the 11th century, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
it had to be Edward the Confessor. It's right, Pat. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
And over to you then, Dave. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Your first question. Which of Henry VIII's wives | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
was buried in Peterborough Abbey in 1536? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Which of Henry VIII's wives was buried | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
in Peterborough Abbey in 1536? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
I'll discount Nell Gwyn. She wasn't one of Henry VIII's wives. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
Out of the other two, it's a 50/50, unfortunately. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
I will go with... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
..Lady Jane Grey. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
OK, Lady Jane Grey... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
It's not, Dave, because the question could have been re-phrased - | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
which of these was a wife of Henry VIII? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
The only one was Catherine of Aragon. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
A chance for Pat to go into a bigger lead. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Pat, at the end of the 1940s, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
following defeat during the Chinese Civil War, | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
to where did Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalists retreat? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
I think they all decamped en masse across the sea to Taiwan | 0:20:08 | 0:20:14 | |
where Chiang Kai-shek ruled for decades, subsequently. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
So they went to Taiwan. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Taiwan, which, of course, still rankles with the Chinese. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
It's still a source of tension. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
They used to blare propaganda at each other across the strait. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
OK, it is the right answer, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalists retreating there | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
after the Chinese Civil War, Taiwan, so it's two-nil. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Dave, you know what you've got to do. In 1833, workmen near Mold in North Wales | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
discovered what precious item, | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
believed to have been created between 1900 and 1600 BC? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
In 1833, workmen near Mold in North Wales discovered what precious item, | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
believed to have been created between 1900 and 1600 BC? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
Unfortunately, I'm not too sure on this one, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
but I guess it's something made of gold! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Very good. We'll give you that! | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
I think looking at them, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
it's going to be a guess, unfortunately, again. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
I'll go straight down the middle - gold shoe. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
A gold shoe... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
A kind of prehistoric Cinderella type, you think, around. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:32 | |
It's not a gold shoe. Of the other two, Pat, do you know? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-I don't know. -Any ideas, just out of interest? No? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
-A parasol? -It's not a parasol. It's a gold cape. -Cape? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
A gold cape is the missing answer there, the one you didn't get, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
so the end of the round, I'm afraid, Dave, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
no place in the final round for you. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
Would you both come back and join your teams? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
which is General Knowledge. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
But those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
so James, Craig, Sharon and Dave from Homed To Perfection, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
would you all leave the studio, please? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
So, Lynn, we didn't have a chance to chat, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
you didn't play one of the head-to-heads. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Remember, this is a family show - | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
what's this about you in a Miss Whippy competition? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-It was an ice cream competition. -OK. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
It was a national company and the ice cream chap said to me, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
"You ought to send a photo in," so I did. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
I was one of the runners-up, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
but being 13, you feel like you're on top of the world. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Did you get some free ice creams? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
I got a scarf and some free ice creams, yeah. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Very nice. We're glad that's what it was. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
OK, Lynn, you're playing to win Homed To Perfection £13,000. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
you're playing for something which money can't buy - | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
You're not allowed to avail yourself of this rule change | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
in the final round - you are allowed to confer. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
So, Lynn, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five? | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
Always the challengers' choice - do you want to go first or second? | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
I think I'll go first. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Good luck, Lynn. As we often say, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
it's often been done, the one against the five Eggheads. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Let's see if you can do it. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
According to the nursery rhyme that starts, "Jack, be nimble," | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
Jack jumps over the what? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
According to the nursery rhyme that starts, "Jack, be nimble," | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Jack jumps over the what? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
I know it's not grandfather clock or bedpost, | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
so therefore it's the candlestick. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
"Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick," and he jumps over the candlestick. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
What part of someone's anatomy is normally the focus of a mugshot? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
What part of someone's anatomy is normally the focus of a mugshot? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
Stand you up against a white wall and take a photograph of your face. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Face, OK. Not the backside? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
They did try it occasionally but, no, it's your face. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
I'm sure they might have done. Face is the correct answer. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
Back to you, Lynn. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
Which member of the Royal Family | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
completed the London Marathon in 2010? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Which member of the Royal Family | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
completed the London Marathon in 2010? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
OK, I don't think it was Prince William | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
and I don't think it was Prince Edward. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
I'm pretty sure it was Princess Beatrice, so I'll go for that one. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
Princess Beatrice, you're pretty sure. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
You can be certain now - it's the right answer. Well done, Lynn. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-Thank you. -You've got two. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Eggheads, for how long did Sputnik 1, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
the world's first artificial satellite, orbit the Earth? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
For how long did Sputnik 1, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
the world's first artificial satellite, orbit the Earth? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
It was longer than three days. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
The Yanks were tracking it, as was Jodrell Bank. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
It was a low orbit, so it wouldn't have been up there for three years. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
It's got to be three months. Three months, Dermot. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
OK, and the right answer emerging. It's correct, three months. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
Lynn, doing really well here. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Are you calm, enjoying yourself? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
Enjoying myself. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
-Good. -Calm? I don't know. -OK. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Let's see if you can get this on the board and challenge for that money. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
Vinnie Jones ended his club football career in the 1998-99 season | 0:25:42 | 0:25:48 | |
as player-coach of which team? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Vinnie Jones ended his club football career in the 1998-99 season | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
as player-coach of which team? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
OK, I know nothing about football whatsoever. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
I remember seeing him in a blue shirt as a player, I'm sure, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
but I ain't got a clue, apart from Chelsea, who plays in blue. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
I'm going to knock out Wolverhampton Wanderers... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
..and I think I'm going to knock out Queens Park Rangers. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:26 | |
So... | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
I'd usually go for the one I think it's not, if that makes sense. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
I'm going to go for... | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Player-coach. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
..Chelsea. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
-Chelsea... You say you don't know anything about football. -I don't. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Having a guess, a one-in-three chance, but you haven't landed it. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
No, Lynn. Do you know, Eggheads? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
-Queens Park Rangers. -Queens Park Rangers. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
The Eggheads have a chance here, | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
but if they don't get it, we go to Sudden Death. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
Which US writer had great success in the early 1920s | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
with novels called Main Street and Babbitt? | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Which US writer had great success in the early 1920s | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
with novels called Main Street and Babbitt? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
It wasn't Thornton Wilder and it wasn't Ernest Hemingway. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
It was Sinclair Lewis. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Sinclair Lewis, you think? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
I think you know. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
Bad luck, Lynn. Just got that football question coming up. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
If things had gone your team's way in some of those head-to-heads, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
you might have had someone else there | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
who might have known a bit more about football than you, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
but you got two there all on your own. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
In a couple of those head-to-heads, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
you kept getting those first two right and not getting the third one | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
and failing at the last hurdle, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
-but I hope you've all enjoyed yourselves. -We have. Had a good day. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Had a good laugh. It's been great. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
At them! No, with them, of course. Thank you, Lynn. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
Thanks to all of Homed To Perfection for playing the Eggheads today, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
