0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19..Can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the Amnesiacs.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team are friends and regularly quiz together at the Red Lion
0:00:39 > 0:00:43pub in Millfield, just outside their home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hello. I'm Martin. I'm 60 years old and I'm a farmer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Fiona. I'm 56 and I'm also a farmer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello. I'm Simon. I'm 52 and I'm a retired yacht skipper.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hello. I'm Nicky. I'm 51 and I run a transcribing business.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Joan. I'm 58 and I'm an artist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Amnesiacs.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Now, have you forgotten what you're doing here?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- You know you're going to play the Eggheads.- Yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Why have you called yourself the Amnesiacs?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's kind of lost in the mists of time, I believe.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I remember we were at a pub many years ago,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and we were talking about how you get asked a question at the quiz
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and you think, "Oh, I know the answer to that,"
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and then amnesia seems to set in and you can't quite recall it.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30So someone said, well, why don't we call ourselves the Amnesiacs,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32if we forget that much? And that's how it transpired.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34OK, well, let's hope it doesn't affect you today.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We give you a bit of time to think about things but it's always good
0:01:38 > 0:01:40if you can remember the answer eventually.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Let me tell you what's been going on, Amnesiacs.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, Amnesiacs. The Eggheads have won the last four games.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57That means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02And let's start, then, with our first head-to-head. It's Geography.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Who'd like to play this? Who'd like to start us?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09It's got to be you, Martin, surely? Yes, I think probably.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I think I'll do the Geography, Dermot.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13OK, Martin, straight in there
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and which Egghead would you like to challenge?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Hmm...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20THEY CONFER
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I think we'll take on CJ please.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24CJ, OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I am so happy. Delighted!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31The two closest to me, then, it's Martin
0:02:31 > 0:02:33from the Amnesiacs and CJ from the Eggheads
0:02:33 > 0:02:36to play Geography. Into the question room please.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Now, Martin, Geography you're playing. Would you like to go
0:02:40 > 0:02:41first or second?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I will go first, Dermot, please.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Good luck, Martin. First question.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Moose Jaw is the name of a city in which country?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, it's definitely not Kuwait.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And I don't believe it'll be Wales,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00but I'm sure I've heard of a Moose Jaw or something in Canada.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03The Eggheads were tittering, there.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I think enjoying Kuwait, there. You never know!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09It is Canada. Well done, Martin.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14CJ, which European country is officially
0:03:14 > 0:03:16known as the Hellenic Republic?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20That would be Greece.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Yes, it would. OK, I think we eased you in there, both of you,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25with your first questions.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Let's ratchet it up a bit now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Martin, at the 2011 census,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34what was the approximate population of the Isle of Wight?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Ooh... It's definitely not over a million.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Possibly 13,000. There is one or two big towns on it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51138,000?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Possibly...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I think I will go for 13,800.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It is...
0:04:02 > 0:04:0610 times bigger than that. 138,000.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11As you said, quite a few fairly big towns on the Isle of Wight. OK.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15138,000 not identified by Martin. CJ, can you tell me...
0:04:15 > 0:04:21The official languages of Peru are Quechua, Aymara, and which?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Erm...I don't think it would be English. Not for Peru.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31The vast majority of Central and South America has Spanish.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But is that too obvious?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I may be trying to second-guess myself here.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'll just have to go for Spanish.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42OK. Just making sure you didn't talk yourself out of it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It is the right answer. Well done, CJ. You have two.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Martin, you need this one, then.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Which of these countries straddles the equator?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Erm... I think I know that one. It's not Iran. Too far north.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01India's too far north, as well. But I'm sure, Indonesia...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04..straddles the equator.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Indonesia. Well, there's a lot of it, isn't there?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's the right answer. Well done, Martin, you're still in it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And, CJ, Newtownards in Northern Ireland
0:05:14 > 0:05:17lies at the northern tip of which body of water?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to blind guessing time, starring CJ.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I don't even know why I'm thinking about this.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I've got absolutely nothing to go on.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Erm... Lough Foyle.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Lough Foyle.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40No, it's not. That's way out. Other Eggheads?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Strangford Lough?- Strangford Lough.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Strangford... So, good news, Martin.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48CJ didn't get that, so we go into sudden death,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and to sort out a winner we remove the options now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53No choices for you, Martin.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So, can you tell me...
0:05:55 > 0:05:59..Vail is a famous ski resort in which US state?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Vail. V-A-I-L.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I think that's in Colorado?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's correct.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Yes!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12OK, CJ, you need to get this, then.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Bikku Bitti is the highest mountain in which African country?
0:06:17 > 0:06:23B-I-K-K-U, second word B-I-T-T-I
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Haven't heard of it. Can I do anything with the language? Erm...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I don't think so. Erm...
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Kenya?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK, Kenya for Bikku Bitti.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's not the right answer.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39It is Libya.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yes! There is a God!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Which means, Martin, you're through to the final round.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Yay!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I mean, after the Isle of Wight mix-up you've got back in it
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and won the game. Well done. You're playing in the final round.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Surprised to find you back here, Martin.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Thought you might have forgotten the way back in.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You won't forget that round, though. That was a great performance.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That means that the Amnesiacs are all still here,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Our next subject today, it's Arts & Books.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Now, who'd like to play this from the Amnesiacs?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Joan? Joan, we'll take a chance on that.- You sure?- Yes, definitely.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21That's it. Joan you've got to choose an opponent.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Who would you like to play? It can't be CJ.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Chris?- Yeah. Martin? What do you reckon, Chris?- Yeah.- We think Chris.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I like the way you asked Martin there. He's not interested.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34"I've won my round. Don't ask me."
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's going to be Chris, then. OK.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Let's have Joan and Chris into the question room for this one, please.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43So, Joan, good to have an artist playing Arts & Books.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'd like to go first, Dermot, please.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK, Joan, first question is this.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56What is the full title of the Narnia series of books by CS Lewis?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Well, I'm sure it's not the Annals of Narnia.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'm drawn towards the Chronicles of Narnia.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Yes. You'd be right to be.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12It's the correct answer.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yes! Well done, Joan.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Chris. Which book is set in the ancient time
0:08:19 > 0:08:22between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, the Grapes of Wrath is Depression America,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32the Count of Monte Cristo is nineteenth century France.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's Tolkien's The Hobbit.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It is, yes. The Hobbit. Didn't you get a part in that, Chris?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Er... No.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47OK, it's all square. One all.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Joan. The sixteenth and seventeenth century British portrait
0:08:51 > 0:08:54miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard established which
0:08:54 > 0:08:57shape as a standard for such paintings?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I've never seen a triangular portrait.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07And I think square's quite unlikely. We'll have to go for oval.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Yes, you're right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Yes! Come on! - Well done. Two for you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Chris, the artist Titian lends his name to a shade of which colour?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yeah, you sometimes see ladies with Titian hair.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's red.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28It is red. That is correct. Two all. Both of you doing very well here.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Joan, third question.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32"Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34"Fled is that music - Do I wake or sleep?"
0:09:34 > 0:09:38is the last line of which work by John Keats?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, to be truthful, I don't know. But...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Mmm... Certainly a Grecian urn doesn't run well at all...
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Ah...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I'd like to go for Nightingale.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Ode to a Nightingale.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Ode to a Nightingale.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03"Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05"Fled is that music - Do I wake or sleep?"
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Concludes...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09The Ode...
0:10:09 > 0:10:10To a Nightingale! It's correct!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes! Come on, Joan!
0:10:12 > 0:10:13You have three.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18OK, Chris. Which British author wrote the 1904 short story
0:10:18 > 0:10:21the Country Of The Blind
0:10:21 > 0:10:24about the discovery of a community of sightless people in Equator?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yeah, it's not Rudyard Kipling, that much I do know...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's a wee bit early for Aldous Huxley, I think.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I think it belongs to HG Wells, and his sort-of science-fiction-y
0:10:39 > 0:10:41period so I'll have to go with HG Wells.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44HG Wells for the Country Of The Blind.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45It's the right answer!
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Well done, Chris. We go to sudden death again.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52OK, Joan, you know what that involves
0:10:52 > 0:10:53after you saw Martin playing it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56No choices are going to be offered to you.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Lloyd Dallas and Dotty Otley are characters in which
0:11:00 > 0:11:02play by Michael Frayne?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Nope. I'm sorry. I really can't think of an answer to give you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You don't know any Michael Frayne plays?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I don't. I'm very sorry, I don't. - Can't have a guess.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15OK, Chris, do you know?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Er... It's not Noises Off, is it? - Yes, it is. Noises Off.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Lloyd Dallas and Dotty Otley.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So, a chance for you, Chris.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The name of which river appears in the title of a work of literature
0:11:25 > 0:11:31written between 1928 and 1940 by the Russian writer Mikhail Sholokhov?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Quiet Flows The Don.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It's the Russian Don, not the one in Sheffield.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It is, yes, the right answer.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Well, you didn't have to specify, you could have just said,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45"The Don" and left us guessing,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47but we probably would have worked that out.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's the right answer, Chris, yes. You're through to the final round.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Good quizzing, there, Joan, but no place in the final round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Sorry about that, Joan, would you both please
0:11:55 > 0:11:57come back and join your teams?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, it's all square after that round.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Both the Amnesiacs
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Our third subject today is Music.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Who would like to play this one? Music. It's Fiona, Simon or Nicky.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- I think Simon.- Simon?- Simone? - I'll go for that one.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17OK, Simon, who do you want to take on?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Chris and CJ have played so you can have Barry, Judith, or Pat.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- Which one? Pat or... You choose. - I'll take Barry.- OK, Barry.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's Simon and Barry for this one, it's Music,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and into the question room both of you, please.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36So, Simon, you choose for us, you're the challenger.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'll go first again.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43All right, good luck, Simon. Here's your first question.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Which song did Gareth Gates cover as his first UK single?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well, I don't think it was Silver Lady. Um...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'm pretty sure it wasn't the old Slade song.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'll go for Unchained Melody.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59That would fit, wouldn't it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And it was! Yes, Unchained Melody for Gareth Gates.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06One there to Simon.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Barry, which of these composers was born most recently?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Well, the earliest there is Johann Sebastian Bach,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20who was fairly soon followed by Mozart in the middle
0:13:20 > 0:13:24of the eighteenth century, 1756 I think Mozart was born.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28The most recent by far is that great British composer Edward Elgar.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32OK, not hard for an Egghead, that one. Edward Elgar is correct.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Simon. Rock-A-Hula Baby was a chart-topping single in the UK
0:13:36 > 0:13:38for which for which singer?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Right. I don't think it's Ray Charles.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Frank Ifield I'd also think it's possibly not.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So I'll go for Elvis Presley.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Elvis Presley.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yes! It's the right answer. Well done, Simon.- Yay!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Simon got it! And Barry, your second question.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Which rock star turned 70 on the 26th of July 2013?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11I don't think The Boss is 70 yet, so I'll discount Bruce Springsteen.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13David Bowie or Mick Jagger...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Of the two, I think Mick Jagger is slightly the elder,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so I'll go for Mick Jagger.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24It's the right answer. Sir Mick at 70 on the 26th of July 2013.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27And your third question, then, Simon.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Which opera in Wagner's Ring Cycle was originally titled
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Siegfried's Death?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Right. Goodness me, this is way out of the comfort zone. Erm...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46As I have absolutely no idea on this one, it's going to be a total
0:14:46 > 0:14:49stab in the dark, and I shall go for The Rhine Gold.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's not the right answer, Simon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Do you know, Barry?- Well, I think The Rhine Gold
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and The Valkyrie are two of the early ones out of the four
0:14:57 > 0:15:00in the Ring Cycle, so I'd have gone for the Twilight Of The Gods.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Yeah, that's the one we wanted. Twilight of the Gods. All right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Try this, then.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10Barry, what is the English meaning of the term "Empfindsamer Stil,"
0:15:10 > 0:15:13the name of a movement in German music in the eighteenth century?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The eighteenth century...
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Never heard this term, but I can't believe it's Seeking Style...
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Well, as it's German, I feel almost obliged to go for the Strident Style.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34It's Sensitive Style.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You deserved that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40That will teach me to stereotype.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Yeah, that will teach you. Absolutely.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47OK, it's all square, and we go to sudden death again.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Simon, which comedy group had a UK hit single in 1975 with
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Funky Gibbon?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well, that's got to be The Goodies.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58OK, The Goodies you say. Funky Gibbon.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- You're right!- Yes! Go on!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02OK, Barry.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06John Flansburgh and John Linnell are the two main members of which
0:16:06 > 0:16:09American alternative band whose biggest hit in the UK was
0:16:09 > 0:16:12the 1990 single Birdhouse In Your Soul?
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Haven't a clue!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I haven't heard of either of these two gentlemen,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21or I haven't even heard of the hit.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Though it does have an intriguing title, Birdhouse In Your Soul.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I think there's a birdhouse in my soul now.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Oh Gosh... I'll pick one out the blue and apologies
0:16:31 > 0:16:33if it's a British band, but I'll go for The Prodigy.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36OK. The Prodigy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Who are British.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- No, Barry.- You surprise me!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Anyone from the Eggheads know? Other Eggheads?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44They Might Be Giants?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Pat's got it. They Might Be Giants.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49They Might Be Giants, which means you're not going to be
0:16:49 > 0:16:52a quizzing giant in the final round, Barry. Simon, we hope you will be.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54You're in the final round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Come on!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Well, the Amnesiacs clearly remembering why they're here.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Doing very well, now. Two Eggheads gone from the final round,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and only one gone from the Amnesiacs team.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09So we play our last head-to-head before the final round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12This round is going to be on Science.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And we have Nicky or Fiona left.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's going to be me, because we're saving Nicky for the final,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20so it was going to be me whatever the subject.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23All right. You're not even thinking about what the subject is.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK, Fiona, who would you like to play, Pat or Judith?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Judith.- Judith. I think I'll play Judith, please.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32OK. Fiona and Judith to the question room, please.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So, Fiona. Let's see how much you know about science.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Do you want to go first or second? I'll go first, please.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45OK, Fiona. Good luck with this question.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49What name did the English inventor Charles Babbage give to the
0:17:49 > 0:17:53early computer he worked on until his death in 1871?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Well, looking at the options, I would've though the most obvious
0:18:04 > 0:18:08one in view of what computers are supposed to do would be...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Analytical Engine. So I'll go for that one, please.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Right answer. Yes, well done, Fiona.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Judith. Which of these is roughly 100,000 light years across?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Erm... 100,000 light years. I think it must be The Milky Way.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Yep. Kind of got to be, hasn't it? Of those.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Yes, it's the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41And Fiona. The frontal bone forms what part of the human body?
0:18:44 > 0:18:50I can only guess that it's connected to the frontal lobe
0:18:50 > 0:18:54and therefore, it is a guess, but I would say the forehead.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Frontal bone forms part of the...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Forehead! Yes. Well done.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yay! Well done.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06And Judith. What type of bird is an aracari?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13A-R-A-C-A-R-I.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15A-R-A-C-A-R-I, aracari...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, a toucan's a Toucan.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I know there are lots of birds of paradise,
0:19:24 > 0:19:29but they're all called something like Prince Frederick of Hohenstaufen...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I mean, they've all got rather extraordinary names... Erm...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I don't know. Magic right. Parrot!
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Magic right, Parrot.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40It's a Toucan!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Oh, no. Honestly. The most unlikely one.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45The third one you would have gone for.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48OK. Great news potentially for Fiona.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52The diet of a phytophagous creature consists mainly of what?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I would certainly rule out stones...
0:20:01 > 0:20:09On phyto... Phytoplasm... I think I'll go for plants.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Plants is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15OK, well that's very good news because you're through!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You're through to the final round, Fiona.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Great news for the Amnesiacs.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26And so this is what we've been playing towards, it's time for
0:20:26 > 0:20:28the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37so just Joan from the Amnesiacs and CJ and Barry
0:20:37 > 0:20:41and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44So Martin, Fiona, Simon
0:20:44 > 0:20:48and Nicky you are playing to win the Amnesiacs £5,000.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Chris and Pat, you are playing for something which money cannot buy!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56So, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59This time the questions are all General Knowledge, anything
0:20:59 > 0:21:02can come up, and you are allowed to confer in the final round.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03So, Amnesiacs, the question is
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Amnesiacs, how do you want to play this round, first or second?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, I think we'll stick with the winning formula so far,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13and we'll go first.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18OK. Going first.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20In the final round. Playing for £5,000.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Amnesiacs, your first question.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27What term was coined in the late 1990s to mean a young woman
0:21:27 > 0:21:29with an independent, liberated, and brash lifestyle?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Are we all agreed?- Ladette.- Ladette.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Well, I think we're all agreed on that one, Dermot, and it's Ladette.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK. You've gone for Ladette.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Which, I think we can all confirm, is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51OK.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Eggheads.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57A state of agreement between people is sometimes described as what?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06That's a meeting of minds, isn't it? I think so, yeah.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08That's a meeting of minds.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Yes, indeed. Of course it is, which you've had on that one.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We hope you don't have on some of the other questions coming up.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Second question for both teams. Amnesiacs first.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22What role did Russell Crowe play in the film Les Miserables?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Was it Valjean?- No. - No, he was the main character.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- That was whats-his-face... - Erm... Wolverine.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- Hugh Jackman.- Yeah.- So it's either Marius or Javert...
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Javert. Would he be the military one that condemned them
0:22:44 > 0:22:45to death or something?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Going back to his Gladiator roots. - Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Of the three, possibly that one. I've not seen the film, but...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, we're not 100% sure because none of us
0:22:58 > 0:23:00have seen the film which is not exactly helpful...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05..but we're going to give it a whirl at Javert.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Javert. For Russell Crowe.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's the right answer! Well done.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Ooh!- Well done!- Strike one! That was lucky.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17OK, Eggheads. What is the name for the imaginary mystic lines
0:23:17 > 0:23:20running across Britain that are said to connect places of ancient power?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27What is the name for the imaginary mystic lines
0:23:27 > 0:23:32running across Britain that are said to connect places of ancient power?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35THEY CONFER
0:23:36 > 0:23:39They were... They are ley lines.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Ley lines. They are. That is the right answer. OK.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, it's all square at two all.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Very finely poised. Amnesiacs.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Which of these cheeses was invented by a German company in the 1970s?
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- Lymeswold's British, is it not? - Yeah.- So count that out.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Is Cambazola Italian?- I thought it was Italian.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Sounds Italian, doesn't it? - Yeah, it does.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13THEY CONFER
0:24:15 > 0:24:18But I think Cambazola is Italian, as you say,
0:24:18 > 0:24:19and Lymeswold's British, so...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22But it's certainly a manufactured cheese, it's a...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It's not a classic cheese, Cambazola.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So do we go for Herve?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Erm... Well, Dermot, again we're not 100% sure
0:24:30 > 0:24:33but we're kind of edging towards Herve's Adventures of Cheese...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Herve, Herge, I see yes. Adventures of Cheese.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44No, it's not. Lymeswold, as you say, is British.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It is Cambozola.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Well, a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Eggheads, in which year did the BBC radio station
0:24:53 > 0:24:56known as the Light Programme begin broadcasting?
0:25:02 > 0:25:031922 was 2LO, wasn't it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06When it was just the British Broadcasting Company?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09That was the first BBC station to go on the air.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16It was certainly going all through the war, so it rules out 1945.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So...
0:25:19 > 0:25:25The Light Programme 247m. Light Programme Home Service 330m.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Light Programme 247m.
0:25:28 > 0:25:291922's too early.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- It's got to be 1937, Pat.- OK, OK.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I don't have any strong information on the matter.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yep, OK, I'm happy with that.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40We're going to go for 1937.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Well, Chris knows the frequencies, knows everything...
0:25:46 > 0:25:47..Apart from the date.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Which was 1945.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Oooh!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55"Ooohs", from the Amnesiacs, there.
0:25:55 > 0:25:591945. You're still in it! We go once again to sudden death.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Many of you are familiar with that, played it in your head-to-heads.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So, Amnesiacs,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06what was the name of the amusement centre
0:26:06 > 0:26:09opened on Coney Island in 1903 that presented
0:26:09 > 0:26:12a world of fantasy in which the moon figured prominently?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Just...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20There's a Lunar Park in Sydney.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Right. - Did they pinch the name from...?
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Yeah... Well, it's certainly something to do with the moon.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Astral World, Lunar World...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33That's the only thing I've got to go on is this Lunar Park in Sydney.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Sydney's a long way from Coney Island, though.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Yes, I know, but... - It's the same principle.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- We'll go with that?- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49Erm... We're not sure but we're going to go with Lunar Park.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Lunar Park on Coney Island in 1903...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- And... It is Lunar Park, it's the right answer!- Yes!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Lunar, obviously with their reference to the moon there.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Eggheads, you need to get this one.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06What is the newspaper term "op-ed" short for?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Hmm. Doesn't spring to mind.- Well, ed's obviously editor or editorial.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Is it something to do with opposite? Does it refer to...
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Material being printed on the opposite page, no?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24No.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26At the editor's discretion.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Hmm. That sounds plausible.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Option of the editor.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Hmm...- Don't quite... Not quite sure...
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Well, I suppose the editor has loads of discretion, hasn't he?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41So what would the phrasing of the answer be? Option Of The Editor?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45OK, we're uncertain about this.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We're going to go with Option Of The Editor.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Option Of The Editor. OK, well, "op-ed"...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53And you solved it in the first 30 seconds
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but you haven't given me that answer, it's Opposite Editorial,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59which is what you said in 30 seconds, but it means you've lost.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Amnesiacs, you've won the money! - Yes!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09That was fantastic. Amnesiacs, well, I hope you haven't forgotten that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Definitely not!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15We'll certainly long remember that appearance on Eggheads
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and especially that turning point where
0:28:18 > 0:28:21they had a chance to win it there, with the Light Programme and...
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Well done!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25And congratulations on beating the Eggheads, and beating them
0:28:25 > 0:28:28in the head-to-heads as well, so it's a comprehensive victory.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Very good to see you, Amnesiacs, as I say,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33we won't forget your appearance for a very long time.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36So, Amnesiacs, you are officially, for today anyway,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38cleverer than the Eggheads. You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Join us next time on Eggheads to see
0:28:40 > 0:28:43if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye!
