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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Question is, 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are Missing In Acton, from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team of colleagues all work together
0:00:40 > 0:00:42at Ellen Wilkinson School in Acton.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Austin, I'm 60, and I'm head of media studies.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Skanda, I'm 30, and I'm a teacher of physics.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Viv, I'm 50, and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Nadir, I'm 33, and I'm a music teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Charles, I'm 33, and a sociology teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Missing In Acton. Loving the team name.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09How long did it take you to come up with that - what, about 30 seconds?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Er, 29! Yeah. DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:11 > 0:01:13OK, so you work at the school together, obviously.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Do you do some quizzing together?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We do. There's a pub down the road from us, the Greystoke,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20where we're often seen.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- And, yes, we've won a few quizzes there.- You win them?
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Well, we've won once and narrowly... almost won a second time.- OK.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- And so you've carefully selected the team...?- Very carefully.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- A team of all the talents. - Yeah, yeah. Different subjects.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39OK, well, let's see what comes up and whether they suit you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Missing In Acton, every day, there's £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:42 > 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 > 0:01:49So, Missing In Acton, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52that means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And our opening clash, first head-to-head,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57is on Film & Television.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Who do you want to select to play this? Film & TV.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Erm, yes, I think Viv will play it, please.- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Viv.- Yeah, I'll go for it, I'll go for it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08OK, Viv, and who will you choose from the Eggheads?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Ooh, now, this is a challenge.- Oh!
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I think this is almost harder than the questions. Erm...
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Judith, please.- All right, Judith.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Let's have Viv and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So, Viv, are you a film buff, a film fan, or is it TV or a bit of both?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Oh, bit of both. Love film, love TV.- Great stuff.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Here you go, your first question.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Which of these actresses married eight times?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I would say that's Elizabeth Taylor.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:02:46 > 0:02:47It's the right answer, yes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49THEY WHOOP
0:02:50 > 0:02:52That fell nicely for you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Haven't you got a bit of a connection with Elizabeth Taylor?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's quite bizarre. Yes, I did.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I worked for a chap who made those fabulous turbans that she wore.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01DERMOT LAUGHS
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, well, you got it there, quite easily.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And Judith, your first question.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10In the 1990s, who played a character called Ace Ventura
0:03:10 > 0:03:11in two feature films?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Oh, gosh, I don't know!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Didn't see them, whatever they were. Erm...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Erm...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I... Oh!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Mike Myers.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK, Mike Myers, as the pet detective, wasn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Played by...Jim Carrey.- Oh!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Right, that's good news for you, Viv.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40You've got one already and this could double that lead.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Who became the male host of the television series
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Your Face Sounds Familiar in June 2013?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54That's a difficult one. I'm pretty sure it's not Chris Evans.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Gino D'Acampo...
0:03:57 > 0:03:58I don't know the show,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01so I don't know if it's got anything to do with dancing.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- I'm going to go for Gino, Gino D'Acampo.- OK, Gino D'Acampo.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Haven't seen it, so a bit of a guess,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and it's Paddy McGuinness.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11THEY GROAN
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Which was, clearly, cos you told us you didn't think it was
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Chris Evans, the other one you were thinking about.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, let's see if Judith still lags behind after this one,
0:04:19 > 0:04:20or will she draw level?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Judith, in the 2013 film Behind The Candelabra,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Michael Douglas plays which entertainer?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31That I have seen, thank goodness.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And it's Liberace.- Liberace.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Did you like it?- Quite.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Ah, OK. OK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Michael Douglas as Liberace.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's the right answer, so it is all square.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And Viv, your third question.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46In which year did Helen Mirren
0:04:46 > 0:04:49first appear in the TV drama Prime Suspect?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56OK, I'm going back in time and I'm remembering watching it
0:04:56 > 0:04:58when my children were smaller.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03So I'm 99% sure it's not 1984.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Ooh!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10'91. 1991.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- OK, 1991.- Not that confident.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Well, you can be now, it's the right answer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18THEY CHEER
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You have two.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21And Judith...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Kojak, as played by Telly Savalas,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26worked as a police detective in which US city?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32That was ages and ages ago, too.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, dear. I don't know.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39New York.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40New York.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Who loves you, baby?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- It is the right answer, yes.- Oh.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Into Sudden Death. First round and the first episode of Sudden Death.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Viv, this means, as you've had explained to you, I know,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55we take away the options, so guessing is an awful lot harder.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Let's hope you know this.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Who played Lucy Ricardo in the 1950s US TV comedy, I Love Lucy?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Thank you, Mum. I know that's Lucille Ball.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06LAUGHTER
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Did you used to watch it with her? - I did. I'm that old!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Well, it was often repeated, wasn't it?- Oh, thank you. Very kind!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Lucille Ball is correct. I Love Lucy.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16THE TEAM WHOOP
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And, Judith, who played Jo McKenna
0:06:19 > 0:06:23in Hitchcock's 1956 remake of his 1934 film,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The Man Who Knew Too Much?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That I didn't see either. Um...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Who could have played it?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I really don't know. Um...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34James Stewart.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40OK. It's not the right answer. Unfortunately.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's very unfortunate for you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Um, it's not James Stewart, who WAS in it,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48but it's Doris Day. Cos it's a female Jo!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Oh, it's a female Jo.- Jo McKenna.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I should've asked you to spell it, shouldn't I?- Bad luck, Judith.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56But great news for you, Viv, you're in the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, an exciting round, that one.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03After it, it means Missing In Acton are all still there.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's move swiftly on to Round Two.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Today, it's Music.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10So who from Missing In Acton would like to play this?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It goes without saying, doesn't it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14A very easy choice!
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Yes, the music teacher.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18OK, Nadir, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Go for who you want, who you think...- Go with your gut.- Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Er...I'm going to go for Dave.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Dave. OK.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Nadir and Dave playing Music.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31You know where to go. It's the Question Room, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Nadir, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40OK, Nadir, here's your first question.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42In which city was the singer Annie Lennox born?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I think I'm going to go...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I don't actually remember
0:07:51 > 0:07:54so I think I'm going to go for...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57..Aberdeen.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yeah, just as well. Yes, it is the right answer.- Wow!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- THEY CHEER - Aberdeen.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05The very Scottish Annie Lennox.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10And, Dave, which singer raised £500,000 for Comic Relief
0:08:10 > 0:08:13by shaving off her hair in March 2013?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18One of the few modern things I do remember.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Jessie J.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Jessie J is correct.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Well done, Dave.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Straight back to you, Nadir.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29The Wanted had a UK hit single in 2013 with Walks Like...who?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Ah! OK.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Sorry, I have to translate from English to Italian sometimes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- OK.- OK, it is definitely Rihanna.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Yes, it is. Walks Like Rihanna.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Well done, Nadir! - THEY WHOOP
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Well, your second question, Dave.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49The Italian composer, Vivaldi,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53is most associated with which style of Western classical music?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06A Baroque composer, or was he a Romantic composer?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm going to go Romantic, but I'm probably wrong.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Vivaldi is most associated with...Baroque music.- Yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- THEY GROAN - Bad error.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19OK, well... Chance then, Nadir.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22What are the first flowers mentioned in the folk tune
0:09:22 > 0:09:24known as English Country Garden?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, erm...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You will forgive me if I get this wrong, people.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Um... I'm going to go...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Tulips.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42OK, tulips.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45No, it's not. It's daffodils.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Daffodils. But, um... For some people, that would be easy,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51but we understand why it wasn't for you, Nadir.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55A chance for Dave to level it up.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Dave, the songs Stereotypes, Ernold Same
0:09:59 > 0:10:01and The Universal come from which Blur album?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Right. It's the old Blur toss-up.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It's not Leisure. It's either Parklife or The Great Escape.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14My leaning is towards The Great Escape.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm just going to have a quick think about it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Great Escape.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Great Escape is correct.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Are you about to pull off one of those after slipping up
0:10:23 > 0:10:24there on your second question?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It's now all square and into Sudden Death again.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31So, Nadir, you're not going to see any of those options now.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37Lippy Kids and Open Arms are on the album Built A Rocket, Boys!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39by which British band?
0:10:39 > 0:10:45Um... I don't actually think I know. Um... I'm going to guess...
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I'm going to go...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52..The Smiths.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The Smiths...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It's not the right answer, Nadir. Elbow.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Nadir, Elbow. OK. Well, this would be a turnaround.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Dave you go through if you get a right answer.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08In 2001, which girl group had a UK number one single with Whole Again?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09W-H-O-L-E, obviously.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Apologies to Nadir
0:11:11 > 0:11:15because I think it's just the way the questions fall.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Whole Again is Atomic Kitten.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Just let me check with Chris.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Chris takes a very close interest in girls bands, as we know.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Is he right? - Yeah, it is Atomic Kitten.- Ha!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You only went along with him because you could see Dave's body language.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31He knows it. It is the right answer, Dave.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It is Atomic Kitten, with Whole Again. Bad luck, Nadir.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Dave's in the final round and you're not.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, Dave having to mount a bit of a rearguard action there, but did
0:11:44 > 0:11:48win in the end, so he's evened it up in terms of the balance of power.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's all square.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Both teams have lost one brain from the final round at the moment.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Our next subject, round three, is History.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Who's going to play this? We don't have a history teacher amongst you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Who's going to play it? - What about you, Charlie?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07My history, particularly British history, is...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yeah, likewise, cos I'm not British.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- I'll take it, then. - I'll have to yeah?- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Good on you.- All right, Charlie will do it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17OK, Charles, and from the Eggheads, Judith and Dave have played,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20as you know, so you've got Pat, Barry or Chris.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Can I go for Chris, please? - Yes, of course.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Let's have Charles and Chris into the Question Room then.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Charles, do you want to go first or second?- Um... I'll go first, please.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38First question coming your way, Charles. Good luck with it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Admiral Horatio Nelson died at which battle?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Now, it's certainly not Copenhagen. I know that for sure.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Waterloo...isn't near the Iberian Peninsula.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56And I have an affinity with this place.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And I'm going to have to go for Trafalgar.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Yes!- We have an affinity with the sea there, or Trafalgar Square?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Ha-ha! The sea!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Believe it or not.- OK, it is the right answer. Trafalgar, of course.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:13:10 > 0:13:12OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Chris, which World War I campaign was a plan to capture
0:13:16 > 0:13:20the Dardanelles from Turkey?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Well, the Somme and Passchendaele were both on the Western Front.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25This was Gallipoli.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- And what a disaster it was.- It was, actually.- It's the right answer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Gallipoli. And back to you, Charles. Question two.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Who died from wounds imparted by officers of Richard II
0:13:36 > 0:13:38during the Peasants' Revolt in 1381?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Again, I don't know this.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm thinking Warbeck's the red herring on this one.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51So, have to go out with that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'm going to go with Wat Tyler.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57OK, Wat Tyler and the Peasants' Revolt. It's the right answer.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Well done. - THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Chris, Julius Caesar is famously quoted as saying "the die is cast",
0:14:06 > 0:14:09meaning there's no going back, at the crossing of which river?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Crossing this river with armed troops was automatically taken to
0:14:15 > 0:14:18be an attack on the Roman Republic, so it's crossing the Rubicon.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The Rubicon, yes, which of course is another phrase which
0:14:21 > 0:14:24we use in the present day, crossing the Rubicon, and the die is cast.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27A lot coming from that. Where is the Rubicon?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29It's the right answer, by the way, of course.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Quite a small river up in northern Italy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34All right. Well, it's all square, both going really well.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Charles, third question.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The Earl of Carrick was an early title held by which
0:14:39 > 0:14:41historical figure?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I don't think it's Robert the Bruce.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53I could have shot myself in the foot there by writing that off.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Lionheart seems too obvious. So I'm going to go for Alfred the Great.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Alfred the Great, Earl of Carrick.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It was actually Robert the Bruce.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm surprised by that. But, yeah, Robert the Bruce.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Chris, this wins the round for you, if you get it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Which ancient city stood on the site of modern Bodrum, in Turkey?
0:15:15 > 0:15:21Well, Bodrum's on the Black Sea. Tyre's on the Mediterranean.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Halicarnassus is inland Turkey. So it's Ephesus.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29No, it's not.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- It is Halicarnassus.- Oh, right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Halicarnassus. Groans from the other Eggheads, there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Knew it. But cheers from Missing in Acton. Even more if you get through.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Sudden Death again, Charles. Every round so far. Here you go.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46In 1917, George V changed the name of the British royal family
0:15:46 > 0:15:50from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to what?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Oh, my gran's not going to be happy if I get this wrong.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Going to have to go for what's come into my head,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59but it might seem...the easy choice.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Is it Windsor?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Never overlook the easy choice. It's the right answer, yes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And of course, Chris, the date's significant, 1917.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Height of the First World War.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Didn't want to be seen to be too German.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17OK. Your question, this time, to save yourself.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22In early 20th century Russia, Rasputin served as a mystic
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and advisor to the wife of which Tsar?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Alexander II.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28THEY GROAN
0:16:28 > 0:16:32No, it's not Alexander II. You jumped right in there.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33It's Nicholas II.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Nicholas...- He's beating himself up. The other Eggheads can't believe it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You jumped right in, but Missing in Acton, it means, Charles,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- you're through to the final round. - THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50So much ebb and flow in this contest.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Missing In Acton now getting into the lead.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55They have lost one brain from the final round.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The Eggheads have got two brains gone though.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01So, our last head-to-head before the final round. It's Arts & Books.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And Austin or Skanda, who wants to play this, Arts & Books?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I'm going to have to take it and bite the bullet, unfortunately.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- We're saving Austin till the end. - All right.- Yeah.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, Skanda, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You can choose from either Barry or Pat.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17I'll go with Barry, please.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20All right. Skanda and Barry playing this one.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Into the Question Room, please.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Well, this is getting exciting, Skanda.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Let's see if you can really balance it in your team's favour with
0:17:27 > 0:17:29a victory here.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Arts & Books, Skanda, first question.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Sophie Neveu is a character in which of these books?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Well, I'm very familiar with The Da Vinci Code
0:17:48 > 0:17:52and I'm pretty sure it's not in there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Um...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I've only seen the film Captain Corelli's Mandolin,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59so I'm slightly vague on the details there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm going to go with Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06OK, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Sophie Neveu
0:18:06 > 0:18:09is not in Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Other Eggheads?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Da Vinci Code. - It's The Da Vinci Code.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It is The Da Vinci Code. OK, so back luck, Skanda.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18OK, Barry. In which century was the poet Alexander Pope born?
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Alexander Pope. 15th is too early, 19th is too late, 17th.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29OK, it is the right answer, yes.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Too early, too late, in the middle. Right.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Let's get you started, Skanda.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Which children's novel concerns a family who move into a house
0:18:36 > 0:18:38called Three Chimneys?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Again, a bit of doubt to the answer
0:18:46 > 0:18:50but I'm going to back my instincts and go for The Railway Children.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Got it right this time, yes. That's right. Three Chimneys.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Three Chimneys for The Railway Children.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK, second question for Barry.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01In Roald Dahl's novel Matilda,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04what's the surname of Bruce who steals a slice of chocolate cake?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Now, my wife asked me only a few weeks ago if I'd like to go with her
0:19:11 > 0:19:13and see Matilda on the stage and I said, "No."
0:19:13 > 0:19:17And I'm regretting it now because I have no idea.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20But as it's Roald Dahl, I shall go for the name that I enjoy the most
0:19:20 > 0:19:22and say it's Bruce Bogtrotter.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Yes, it is.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You're lucky, yes, you're thinking what Roald Dahl would've.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Yes, got there, Bruce Bogtrotter making Miss Trunchbull very unhappy.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Still a lead there for Barry, so you need to get this, Skanda.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Which English painter inspired the French school of painting
0:19:36 > 0:19:38known as the Barbizon school?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Totally on a punt here, I'm going to go with Constable.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You've got it, yes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well done!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well, some good punting there
0:19:52 > 0:19:56but you've still got that X from your first answer,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58gives Barry a chance here.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Barry, Charles Condomine is a central character in which play?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Oh, that's Alan Ayckbourn, JB Priestley and Neil Coward.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm sure it's not An Inspector Calls so I'll get rid of the Priestley.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Charles Condomine...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I don't know Habeas Corpus but I seem to recall a character called that
0:20:21 > 0:20:24in the Blithe Spirit so I'll go for Blithe Spirit.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27OK, Blithe Spirit...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30you've got it, yes, it is the right answer. Bad luck, Skanda.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32You really did get going with your second two
0:20:32 > 0:20:35but we're always struggling after getting the first one wrong.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It means no place for you in the final round.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Barry, you will be there.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43And so this is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:49 > 0:20:51won't be allowed to take part in this round
0:20:51 > 0:20:53so Skanda and Nadir from Missing In Acton
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58would you leave the studio now, please?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00So, Austin, Viv and Charles,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03you're playing to win Missing In Acton £3,000.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Barry, Pat and Dave, you're playing for something
0:21:05 > 0:21:08which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11So as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13this time though, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:13 > 0:21:15and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So Missing In Acton, the question is
0:21:17 > 0:21:20are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And Austin, Viv and Charles, what do you want to do?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Go first or second in this round?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Well, going first has been our strategy so far
0:21:28 > 0:21:30so we're going to stick with that, we'll go first.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35OK, Missing In Acton, good luck. Final Round, first question.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Which Premier League football club
0:21:37 > 0:21:41did Pepe Reina join as goalkeeper in 2005?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Which Premier League football club
0:21:45 > 0:21:49did Pepe Reina join as goalkeeper in 2005?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51That would've been my guess as well but, yeah,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54it's not a guess for me, it's a certainty for you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm abstaining on this one. Quite happily abstaining.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well, sadly, my son is a Liverpool supporter,
0:22:01 > 0:22:06he'll kill me if I get this wrong, and it is definitely Liverpool.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Yeah, definitely Liverpool, you're safe. It is the right answer, yes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, Eggheads, zwolf is the German word for which number?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Zwolf is the German word for which number?
0:22:19 > 0:22:25- 12?- 12.- Elf is 11 and zwanzig is 20, so zwolf is 12.- Yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27We're going for 12, Dermot.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yeah, why did you tell us what 11 is, Barry? What about eight?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- You didn't ask for eight, it's not up on the board.- It is.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Barry, do you need your glasses...?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Is it...? Oh!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's what I mean!
0:22:42 > 0:22:46It doesn't matter, you've got it. Yes, zwolf is 12.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52OK, right, all square, second question, Missing In Acton.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Which of these is a definition of the adjective garrulous?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- It's been applied to me, so...- Yep.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Viv and myself have both been accused of this
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and Charlie has too, but he didn't realise it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08And the answer is talkative.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Yes, it is, expected you to get that and you have.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Talkative for garrulous.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Who was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Education and Skills
0:23:18 > 0:23:21after the 2005 General Election?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Right, I think...
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Right, if we have a think about it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33George Osborne's always been...
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Treasurer.- Shadow Treasury.- Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Danny Alexander I thought was a Lib Dem anyway.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So the common sense is David Cameron but I don't remember him
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- in the Education.- He must've had some sort of...- Department.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52..experience, mustn't he?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It couldn't have been Danny Alexander, could it?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Cos he's a Lib Dem, isn't he? - I'm sure he's Lib Dem.- Yes.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04I don't think he's Tory so I think we've got to go with Cameron.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06We've got to go with Cameron but we're not happy with it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08We're unsure here but we're going to go with David Cameron.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12David Cameron, it's the correct answer, Eggheads, yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14OK, Missing In Acton,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17in which year was the first Apple Macintosh computer sold?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23So it's an Apple Macintosh
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- so it's not the little colourful, gorgeous one.- Right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28They definitely had them in...
0:24:28 > 0:24:33They made a whole town, an Apple town in '92. So...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- So '94 is out? - '94 is definitely out.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- So it's between '84 and '89. - My gut is '84.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- That's what I'd have gone. - But I'll leave it up to you.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44No, no, I mean, I'm not sure so I'll go with you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47If they'd asked who'd owned them, it's different, it's different...
0:24:47 > 0:24:53I reckon I... When it came up, I was thinking it was going to be '83,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- actually when the question was asked.- Right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03OK, we'll take the George Orwell route and go 1984.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05OK, 1984.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The earliest one there and it's the right answer, well done.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11You all kind of had that instinct and it's the right answer,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13so are the Eggheads going to lose again?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16What name is shared by the currencies
0:25:16 > 0:25:18of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The dram is, I believe, Armenia.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The lek is one of the Balkan countries,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30so I'm pretty certain it's the som.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- I think it's the som as well. - Yeah, OK, yeah, fine.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Can't disagree with that logic. - Yep.- I'm pretty certain.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- We think that's the som.- S-O-M, som,
0:25:40 > 0:25:41it is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We go to Sudden Death once again.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Missing In Acton, which television presenter
0:25:47 > 0:25:52married the actor Chris O'Dowd in August 2012?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Erm...
0:25:54 > 0:25:55I can't even think of her name.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Think of English television presenter.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Do we think it's probably English? - I reckon.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Yeah, I think they could be English.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Erm...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Is it someone from a morning show or something?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- I've gone blank... - No news presenter?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I can't think of anyone...
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Kate Adie.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Kate Adie!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I think we can discount Kate Adie.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Erm...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Throw some more names because I can't even think of names.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Think of a youthful TV presenter.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I can't think. Erm...- Zoe Ball.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Say a name.- Say it then, say it, Austin.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43- OK, we've got no confidence in this really, but Zoe Ball.- OK, Zoe Ball.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It is, of course, an answer that I suspect many of your students
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- will know.- Yeah, I know, yeah. I'll get crucified for this.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's not Zoe Ball. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's Dawn Porter.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It's Dawn Porter, who's now Dawn O'Porter.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Which means, Eggheads, you've got a chance here.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Which British actor played Cedric Diggory in the 2005 film
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I think this is Robert Pattinson.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I think that was his first role before he became famous.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Oh, right, good. Well, I tell you what, you go with that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Is it Pattinson or Patterson? - Pattinson, is it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Well, let's get his name right. - Yeah.- Robert is safe.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Pattinson, is he the guy that went on to Twilight?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Guy who went on to Twilight, yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I think he's Pattinson, but I'm not certain, as opposed to Patterson.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, OK, we'll go with your view...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Go with your view.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Robert Pattinson.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39OK, Robert Pattinson, yeah, got that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41OK, Robert Pattinson,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44and you have got it, Eggheads, it's correct, Robert Pattinson.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Well, OK, you lost, Missing In Acton, but, you know, only just.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Even in the head-to-heads, so much Sudden Death in the whole game.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Well done you, but didn't beat the Eggheads in the end
0:28:01 > 0:28:03but a really creditable performance.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So, join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:17 > 0:28:21have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £4,000 says they don't.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Until then, goodbye.
