0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against, possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are The Mild Bunch from Sheffield.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, three of this friends and family team are associated with
0:00:40 > 0:00:44the homeless charity Shelter and to complete the line-up team captain
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Liz has recruited her brother John and nephew Joe.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Liz, I'm 53 and I'm a charity team leader.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm John, I'm 52 and I'm a mental health services manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Joe, I'm 20 and I'm an English literature student.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Karl, I'm 39 and I'm a charity team leader.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Dan, I'm 32 and I'm a charity helpline advisor.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, welcome to you. You're called The Mild Bunch.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I hope you're a bit fiercer when it comes to quizzing, though.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Well, hopefully, yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15We're quite unassuming but maybe
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- there's hidden...- That's what... - ..depths.- ..we like to hear.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19And you are...
0:01:19 > 0:01:23let's work out the relationships - you're brother and sister then?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yes, we're brother and sister and then Joe is my nephew, John's son,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and Dan and Karl are my team... workmates.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Workmates at Shelter. - Yes, that's right.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Some good work there, I'm sure.- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'm going to tell what's been going on with Eggheads so far.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:40 > 0:01:41up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show
0:01:46 > 0:01:48so, Mild Bunch, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and that means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, shall we play? Let's get started, shall we?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58With our first head-to-head battle, trying to knock an Egghead
0:01:58 > 0:02:01out of the final round - it's Geography.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Who are you going to put up
0:02:02 > 0:02:04to play this one?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- It's probably...- I think it was...- ..Karl.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10THEY DISCUSS
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Dan?- Are you OK with that? - I'll have a go.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16OK, Dan. Now choose an Egghead, any of those five.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- CJ?- I'm quite happy. Yes, CJ.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22DERMOT LAUGHS
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We kind of thought it might be, didn't we, CJ?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Leave me alone!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27LAUGHTER
0:02:27 > 0:02:28You can't hide in that shirt.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK, let's have Dan and CJ into the Question Room, please,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So, Dan, you've chosen to play Geography for The Mild Bunch.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You get to choose, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42First, please, thank you.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Here's your question - in German, Osterreich is the name for
0:02:49 > 0:02:50which country?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Really I'm not sure I have that much of an idea
0:02:57 > 0:03:02but I have a sense that Austrian and German are similar languages
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and Ost and Aust are probably the same noise
0:03:06 > 0:03:09so let's go with Austria.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yeah, well, German they speak in Austria. It's the right answer,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14yes, well done.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Good start, well negotiated. CJ, which of these follows
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Clacton and Frinton to make the full names of two English resorts?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I've been in panto in ClactonOn-Sea.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30DERMOT LAUGHS
0:03:30 > 0:03:32So, I think it might be On-Sea.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Clacton and FrintonOnSea, it's the right answer, CJ.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37OK, it's all square at 1-1.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Dan, your second question. Oxenholme railway station serves as a base
0:03:42 > 0:03:44to explore which British national park?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Goodness me, I don't think I know.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Erm, let's try Dartmoor.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I think that's a bit of a rough guess, though.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01OK, Oxenholme, serving Dartmoor?
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- It's the Lake District, Dan.- Oh. - So, quite a few miles out there!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Just a bit! - Chance for CJ to take the lead.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14CJ, what colour is the top stripe of the flag of Venezuela?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I don't think there's green in the flag.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I think it's yellow, blue and red are the stripes.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I think the top stripe is yellow.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Yellow.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32You're right, yes, you've got it. Well done, CJ, right...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34A bit of pressure for you, Dan, you need this.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36What is the main unit of currency in Haiti?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Manat, the gourde or the kip?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, goodness me...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think I will go with gourde.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Gone for gourde.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And you've got it! It's the right answer, kept your hopes alive.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55CHUCKLES
0:04:55 > 0:04:58That really is... I suspect they take the mighty dollar as well
0:04:58 > 0:05:02but the gourde in Haiti and that was identified by Dan.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07As I say, keeping his hopes alive, but is CJ about to extinguish them?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Kalgoorlie and Rockingham are in which state of Australia?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I've heard of Rockingham in Australia.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25Rockingham sounds like an explorer who went along.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, I suppose it could be Western Australia but I'm going to try,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I don't know this, try Queensland.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Kalgoorlie and Rockingham are not in Queensland. It's incorrect.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Other Eggheads?- Western Australia. - They are in WA, Western Australia.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42OK, that's great news for you, Dan, sitting there hoping against hope
0:05:42 > 0:05:44CJ went the wrong direction and he did
0:05:44 > 0:05:46so we go into Sudden Death and remove the options you've seen
0:05:46 > 0:05:49so far so you can't have a guess.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Well, you can have a guess, of course,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54but you have to conjure up any options from your own brain.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59So, Dan, Bodo, a town within the Arctic Circle, is in which country?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Um, I genuinely don't know but...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Norway's got quite a lot up in the Arctic Circle, so Norway?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Is the correct answer. - Well done.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Right, it means you need to get this, then, CJ.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Which major river flows through Belfast and into Belfast Lough?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Which major river flows through Belfast and into Belfast Lough?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Liffey.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28No. It's not the Liffey.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30HE CLEARS THROAT
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32HE LAUGHS
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Yeah, on the same island but not in the same country there, it is...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- other Eggheads?- The Lagan. - The Lagan.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- The Lagan. The Liffey is of course in Dublin.- Oh, is it?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46The River Lagan. Well, you flow out of the game, CJ,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49you won't be in the final round, Dan, you've booked your place.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, a measured performance as you might expect from a
0:06:55 > 0:06:58member of The Mild Bunch. Dan through to the final round.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00That means the Eggheads have lost one brain
0:07:00 > 0:07:02and The Mild Bunch are all still there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Let's play our second round today. It's...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Who'd like to play this one?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- I'll do that.- Go for it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11That's seems preordained, Karl, who would you like to play?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Can't be CJ.- Kevin.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Kevin, OK, it's one of his favourite subjects.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- You especially like film? - More the film than the television.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25OK, well, let's see if Karl can find a chink in your armour.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Karl and Kevin, into the Question Room, please.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33OK, Karl, taken on Kevin and you choose for us,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35would you like to go first or second?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'll go first.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43First question - "Oh, my God, they killed Kenny"
0:07:43 > 0:07:46was a frequently heard phrase in which TV comedy?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I would say this is definitely South Park.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Are you a fan?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I've seen a few episodes.- Yeah, it's the right answer, of course,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00South Park. Particular favourite of CJ and many of the Eggheads.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03OK, Kevin, who co-presented the first two series of The Voice UK
0:08:03 > 0:08:05with Holly Willoughby?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Right, not something I, erm...
0:08:11 > 0:08:15watched, of course. The other two names aren't ringing any...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18any bells at all with me so, I'll say Reggie Yates.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Reggie Yates? Other Eggheads?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Yes.- Right answer. You got it, Kevin.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Karl, second question - who plays Brian's mother Mandy
0:08:27 > 0:08:30in the film Monty Python's Life Of Brian?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I've seen this and it's a great film and it's Terry Jones?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40It is Terry Jones, you've got it, well done, great film.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47And, Kevin, the costumes for the 2013 film The Great Gatsby
0:08:47 > 0:08:49were based on designs from which fashion house?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Did you see it?- I've seen the film but I didn't pay attention to...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01..where the costumes came from.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'll try Prada.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It is the right answer. You've got it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12So, all square again. And, Karl.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Third question, the TV series The Americans starring
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys is set during which era?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's set in Washington during the Cold War, that's the 1980s.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You know it, you've got it, well done!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38OK, Kevin needs this - who became the first regular presenter
0:09:38 > 0:09:41of Panorama in 1953?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51They were all involved in current affairs TV and journalism
0:09:51 > 0:09:55around that time.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59..going to... oh...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03take a punt on the one I know the least about which is Max Robertson.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It is the right answer, Kevin, you worked it out, Max Robertson.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, Karl, I think you knew you'd have a fight on your hands.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Even when he's not sure he's pretty good at working them out.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15So, we're going to make it a lot harder to work them out
0:10:15 > 0:10:16if you're not sure
0:10:16 > 0:10:19by removing those options, taking you into Sudden Death, Karl.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Paul Michael Glaser, best known as Starsky in Starsky And Hutch,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27was the director of which 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30I'm going to go with Commando.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, Commando, Paul Michael Glaser directing...
0:10:34 > 0:10:35..Arnie starring...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It's not. Anyone tell me in the studio?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- For '87 I'd guess Red Heat.- No.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Not True Lies? - No, it is The Running Man.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Oh, right.- Did he? Paul Michael Glaser...?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Wow! - More knowledge for the Eggheads.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55But a real tricky one, stumped everyone in the studio.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Bad luck, Karl.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK, we'll see how Kevin does.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04In which 1958 film do characters played by John Mills
0:11:04 > 0:11:09and Sylvia Syms cross the African desert in an ambulance called Katy?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's one of those traditionally trotted out British war films
0:11:12 > 0:11:16for many years on TV - Ice Cold In Alex.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Does that have anything to do with them drinking beer at the end of it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Yes. - Or did they just use that in an ad?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25No, no, they actually do want to get to a particular bar in Alexandria
0:11:25 > 0:11:28and have a nice beer, which they do at the end.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Which confirms it is the right answer, as Karl well knows.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Ice Cold In Alex is correct
0:11:33 > 0:11:35and Kevin has scraped into the final round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Bad luck, Karl, would you both please come back
0:11:37 > 0:11:38and join your teams?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Well, what a round that was. As it stands now both teams
0:11:43 > 0:11:46have lost one brain from the final round and round three is...
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Who'd like to play this one?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52THEY DISCUSS
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- ALL: Joe...- I'll have a go.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- I'll take that.- Right. Which Egghead?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Remember, Kevin and CJ have played so you can choose from
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Dave, Barry or Chris.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- All right.- Chris.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Chris?- Yeah.- OK, it's going to be Joe from The Mild Bunch
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and Chris from the Eggheads playing Politics
0:12:09 > 0:12:13and you know where to go, it's the Question Room for you both.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Joe, would you like to go first or second?- Erm, I think I'll go first.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22OK, first for you, Joe, and here you go -
0:12:22 > 0:12:23what is the usual name
0:12:23 > 0:12:25given to someone who exposes alleged misconduct,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29often within a political or business organisation?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I know that's been in the news a lot...related to the Guardian
0:12:37 > 0:12:41and newspapers like that, I think it's whistleblower.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Yes, it is. Not pipeblower?- No!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Whistleblower is correct and to you, Chris.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Which journalist referred to Boris Johnson as a
0:12:51 > 0:12:54"nasty piece of work" in a 2013 interview?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, Kate Silverton and George Alagiah are both more telly
0:13:01 > 0:13:03journalists than print journalists.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, it's Eddie Mair.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07He does write occasionally
0:13:07 > 0:13:09but he is more of a radio and television journalist
0:13:09 > 0:13:14but I see your rationale - you've got the right answer.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK, it's 1-1. And, Joe...
0:13:17 > 0:13:22In 2010 Zac Goldsmith was elected MP for which constituency?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'm afraid the name doesn't mean anything to me.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Erm, so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Let's say Richmond Park. It's a random guess.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37A random guess.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Well, you've landed it, Joe, well done.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48So, Chris, in 2001, Joseph Kabila succeeded his father as president
0:13:48 > 0:13:50of which country?
0:13:54 > 0:14:00Not Cameroon, not Uganda, yeah, it is the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02It is the right answer, yes...
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Joseph Kabila. OK, so it's 2-2. Both going really well, Joe.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Third question - in 2009, Christine Blower became General Secretary
0:14:13 > 0:14:14of which trade union?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Erm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Again, that's another name that's just drawing blanks for me, erm...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27And I'll say...
0:14:29 > 0:14:32..the NUT. Go right again.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34OK, National Union of Teachers...
0:14:34 > 0:14:35is the right answer!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You need this, Chris.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Katharine Stewart-Murray, the first woman to
0:14:43 > 0:14:46serve in a Conservative government, was Duchess of where?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Er... she was...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Don't think Duchess of Atholl or Montrose were politically active,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I think she was Duchess of Hamilton.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Er, Katharine Stewart-Murray was the Duchess of...Atholl.- Oh.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Which means you're through, Joe!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Can't believe it. - I love that sigh of relief.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Massive sigh of relief.- You don't have to face another question
0:15:15 > 0:15:17on your own, you will be facing plenty more in the final round
0:15:17 > 0:15:20but you'll have company then. OK, Joe, would you and Chris
0:15:20 > 0:15:23both come back and join your teams, please?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well, The Mild Bunch could easily have knocked three Eggheads
0:15:26 > 0:15:28out by now but they're still doing pretty well,
0:15:28 > 0:15:29they've knocked two of them out
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but one member of The Mild Bunch missing from the final round so far.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36And our concluding head-to-head before the final round is...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40And two of you are there and you know who you are,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Liz or John, who wants to play it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Liz, I think it should be you. - I'll give it a go.- OK.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Stay with us, Liz, don't go yet before you choose your Egghead,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50you can choose from either Dave or Barry.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- I'll go for Barry, please. - All right, Liz and Barry then, into
0:15:54 > 0:15:57the Question Room, please, to play the Music round.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Let's see how you do on Music. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Erm, I think I'll go first, please.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Here's your first question - which Liverpool group
0:16:09 > 0:16:13took You'll Never Walk Alone to the top of the charts in 1963?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Erm, I know it's not The Beatles.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I think it's Gerry & the Pacemakers.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Gerry & the Pacemakers with You'll Never Walk Alone...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29it is the right answer, yeah, well done.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33OK, Barry.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37What was the title of Daft Punk's 2013 UK number-one single
0:16:37 > 0:16:39featuring Pharrell Williams?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think this was a wonderful song by that French group Daft Punk
0:16:45 > 0:16:47and it was Get Lucky.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Yeah, Get Lucky is the right answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55OK, Liz, your question - which song by Malvina Reynolds
0:16:55 > 0:16:56features the lines,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00"..made of ticky-tacky And they all look just the same"?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Right, I've never heard of the singer but I do know
0:17:08 > 0:17:10the song, it's Little Boxes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11It's the right answer, well done.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Barry, which veteran entertainer made his Glastonbury Festival debut
0:17:19 > 0:17:20in 2013?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Goodness me, that's a great question!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Thank you. - I shall discount Bruce Forsyth.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I think he was still much too busy doing Strictly and other things.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Well, I see Lionel Blair almost every other day on the screen so it's
0:17:36 > 0:17:39the sort of thing I think he'd probably love to do
0:17:39 > 0:17:40so I shall go for Lionel Blair.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's not him! Brucie!
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Sorry, Bruce!- Yeah, it's Brucie. Sir Bruce, of course.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Well, don't be sorry because Liz is very happy about that.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56OK, Liz. Get this and you are through to the final round as well.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58In which decade was the National Youth Orchestra
0:17:58 > 0:18:00of Great Britain founded?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Erm...- Anything to work with? Any inklings?- Erm...
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Gosh. I have no idea. I was wondering whether perhaps
0:18:15 > 0:18:17in the 1940s it was something that would have cheered people up,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19young people up, in the war?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I don't know.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Perhaps in the war they would have been too busy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- I'm going to go for the 1920s. Don't really know why.- OK, 1920s.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- It is the 1940s.- Oh! - I asked you about your inklings
0:18:31 > 0:18:32and that was right on it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It wasn't during the war, it was in the post-war period,
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- 1948 to be precise.- Right.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Perhaps not too much harm done,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40you might not have to answer another question.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42SHE CHUCKLES
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Barry might give us a couple of duck eggs there...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46after his last one!
0:18:46 > 0:18:47BARRY CHUCKLES
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK, Barry, well, you need to get this still.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54The magician Klingsor and the sorceress Kundry are characters
0:18:54 > 0:18:56in which opera by Wagner?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Ah...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Lohengrin's about the search for the Holy Grail so I don't think
0:19:05 > 0:19:08that would have had a magician in but I'm reasonably
0:19:08 > 0:19:12certain there was a magician in Parsifal so I'll go for Parsifal.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14You've conjured it up, it's the right answer
0:19:14 > 0:19:18and you're back in it. OK. And we go to Sudden Death.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You know what that means. What nationality
0:19:20 > 0:19:25was Witold Lutoslawski, one of the major composers of the 20th century?
0:19:26 > 0:19:32Well... it's going to be a guess... I'm assuming it's...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35..he's Eastern European.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40I keep thinking Polish but I don't know why.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Maybe he's Hungarian, who knows? I'm going to say Polish.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- OK. - SHE SIGHS
0:19:47 > 0:19:48- You had the '40s in your head... - Oh, don't!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50..the last time and ended up with the '20s.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- You had Hungarian and you've gone for Polish!- Oh!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah, it's the right answer.- Oh!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58SHE CHUCKLES
0:19:58 > 0:20:01OK, let's hope Barry doesn't get this.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Which American rock band's final live performance was at Terminal One
0:20:05 > 0:20:09in Munich on March the 1st 1994?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Oh, goodness me!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'll try The Band.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It's not The Band. Other Eggheads?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- ALL: Nirvana.- It's Nirvana.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Ah!
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Kurt Cobain died on the 5th of April 1994.- Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Nirvana, which means nirvana for you, you're in the final round, Liz,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- you made it.- Wow!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You made it and deservedly so. - Amazing.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42it's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge
0:20:42 > 0:20:45but, I'm afraid those of you who lost the head-to-heads
0:20:45 > 0:20:48won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Karl from
0:20:48 > 0:20:51The Mild Bunch and CJ, Barry and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Well, Liz, John, Joe and Dan,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59you're playing to win The Mild Bunch £3,000.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Dave and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10the same as those head-to-heads
0:21:10 > 0:21:12but two differences, this time the questions are all
0:21:12 > 0:21:14General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer
0:21:14 > 0:21:17in the final round. So, Mild Bunch, the question is -
0:21:17 > 0:21:20are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And, Mild Bunch, would you like
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- to go first or second in this round? - We'll go first.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31First question - Linden Dollars are the main currency
0:21:31 > 0:21:35in which virtual-reality website launched in 2003?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42THEY DISCUSS
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Sadly, I knew this even before...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- You do know it?- It is Second Life.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I think it's Linden Studios that... - OK.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It is Second Life. - You look pretty certain.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It was in my head before so...
0:21:54 > 0:21:58We're going to go with Dan's recommendation, it's going to be
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- Second Life.- Second Life. Dan a bit embarrassed to know that!
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Well...it's not the coolest of products! There you go.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Don't be sorry, it's got you a tick, it's the right answer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:151-0 to you. Eggheads, first question.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Which magazine has a column called Dumb Britain which features
0:22:18 > 0:22:21amusing wrong answers given in quiz shows?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It would be nice if it was Cosmopolitan but it's Private Eye.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Private Eye. We believe the answer is Private Eye, Dermot.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35OK, Private Eye. It's the right answer, Eggheads,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38yes, it's all square, we go into a second pair of questions
0:22:38 > 0:22:41for each team. The Mild Bunch first.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46What is the name for each individual wooden slat used to make a barrel?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Anyone any ideas? It's a good job this is not a solo round...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56LAUGHTER
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I'm not convinced it is that good a job!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00So, our four brains...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Has anyone got a...?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- A stave...- A stave is a thing... - ..could be...
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- A stave is musical.- It would go...
0:23:09 > 0:23:10THEY DISCUSS
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I'm leaning towards stave because of musical staves.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16There's a logic to what you're saying...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Why would musical stave...?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Cos they're a set of lines.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It's not good logic.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- A stave can also mean to baulk or to hinder.- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Right, it's your choice, John.- It is my choice
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and since I have no idea and Dan is very persuasive.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34DAN SCOFFS
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We're going to go for stave if you're still here?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38I am!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I was just listening with interest to a good old conversation there,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43really worked that question
0:23:43 > 0:23:47and in the end the team captain decided it will be stave
0:23:47 > 0:23:51with some solid advice from Dan, again.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's the right answer, stave.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56OK, Eggheads, second question -
0:23:56 > 0:24:00the Ballet Rambert company was founded in which city?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- London.- London. - Marie Rambert.- Yeah, 1920s.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We believe the answer to be London.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14London. It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Straight back to you, then, Mild Bunch.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17They're pinging them back at you
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- quite quickly, aren't they?- They are.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21The requiem is a type of which fish?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Does anyone have any idea?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29No!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Shall we just say them?
0:24:31 > 0:24:32THEY DISCUSS
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Requiem sole, requiem sturgeon or requiem shark?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Sharks seem to have quite exciting names, don't they?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Maybe that's a misleading... - Yes.- But, you know...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It's not a descriptive name like hammerhead or white...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44THEY DISCUSS
0:24:44 > 0:24:50When do you get a requiem? When you die. So...
0:24:50 > 0:24:51LAUGHTER
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- Fish get named.- Requiem sole sounds interesting but...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59it would put you off eating it if it was called requiem
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and sole is a particularly edible fish.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Yeah, and...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I don't know, I think you are going to have to decide, I'm afraid.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I'm going to decide and I'm going to decide on requiem shark.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Requiem shark? OK, another good old debate there!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17On all these questions.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18And you've got it right again!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21LAUGHTER
0:25:22 > 0:25:27It seems you've developed a good technique there.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30OK, Eggheads, well... if you don't get this you've lost.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34In food processing, potassium benzoate
0:25:34 > 0:25:36is added for what purpose?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- I don't know.- No, nor do I.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Potassium benzoate.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I don't know... If I have a...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Go on.- If I have a slight preference it's for preservation.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- I really don't know. - Go on, we'll go for preservation.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57We've got nothing,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00we could go on...for ad infinitum with this.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Yeah.- Yeah.- That's true.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Right, let's go for that.- Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We haven't got the faintest idea, to be perfectly honest...
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Evidently.- Yeah. - But we're going to try...huh...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15self-preservation.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Ah, I see, I like what you're doing there.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Potassium benzoate is added to...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- ..preserve food, it's the right answer.- Well done, Kevin.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30All right. Oh, close there, nearly got it, nearly got the Eggheads
0:26:30 > 0:26:35but...still everything to play for but in Sudden Death.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Leo Colston is the narrator of which 20th-century novel?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Leo Colston?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43C-O-L-S-T-O-N.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Leo Colston is the narrator of which 20th-century novel?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52It wouldn't be...so, it's not a Fitzgerald.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Erm, unless it's...Tender Is The Night?
0:26:54 > 0:26:59That's the sort of thing I'm tending towards...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02It sounds American, don't you think?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Leo Colston?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10OK, we're going to say Tender Is The Night.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14OK, Tender Is The Night for Leo Colston.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's incorrect. I wonder if the Eggheads know.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18- It's The Go-Between.- The Go-Between.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20THEY GROAN
0:27:20 > 0:27:22We were completely wrong.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25OK, well, I go to the Eggheads now.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Which Royal Navy ship was imprisoned for three
0:27:27 > 0:27:32months in the Yangtze river by Chinese communists in 1949?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Say HMS Amethyst?- HMS Amethyst, yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We're going for HMS Amethyst.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Got to be careful to get that out,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- haven't you?- Yeah, absolutely, rrr-mmm.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45HMS Amethyst.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Kevin there on surer ground... historical question.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Well, you gave them a real run for their money there, that was
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- a great performance.- Dragged it out. - No, I loved the way you
0:28:04 > 0:28:07were working with those final-round questions when you all got together.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11You were great in the head-to-heads when you have to play individually,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13look at the balance of power there with those
0:28:13 > 0:28:16three mighty Eggheads confined to the Question Room in silence.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19But bad luck in the end and thank you very much indeed for giving the
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Eggheads a good old quiz - that's what they like!
0:28:21 > 0:28:23But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:23 > 0:28:26and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000
0:28:28 > 0:28:30but your heads held high, I can tell you that.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34And join us next time to see
0:28:34 > 0:28:37if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
