These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:050:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:100:00:12

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:120:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads,

0:00:240:00:25

the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:250:00:28

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:280:00:31

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:33

And taking on our awesome quiz champions today

0:00:330:00:36

are The Festival Five.

0:00:360:00:38

This team of friends are all associated with

0:00:380:00:40

the Cheltenham Festivals, a series of music, literature

0:00:400:00:43

and science events that take place each year in Gloucestershire.

0:00:430:00:47

Let's meet them.

0:00:470:00:48

Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm 26 and I'm a marketing executive.

0:00:480:00:52

Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 29 and I'm a festival manager.

0:00:520:00:56

Hi, I'm Leksi, I'm 31 and I'm a festival manager.

0:00:560:00:59

Hi, I'm David, I'm 28 and I'm a digital marketing manager.

0:00:590:01:03

Hi, I'm James, I'm 27 and I'm a marketing analyst.

0:01:030:01:07

Well, welcome to you, Festival Five.

0:01:070:01:09

I've got high hopes for you today, given the range

0:01:090:01:12

of subjects that the festivals cover.

0:01:120:01:14

You must have so many different expertises.

0:01:140:01:18

You work on them, do you get to go to any of the events?

0:01:180:01:20

You must do.

0:01:200:01:22

We try, yeah, we're pretty busy during the festivals,

0:01:220:01:25

but we do try and get to as much as we possibly can.

0:01:250:01:28

We've got jazz festival and music festival representatives here,

0:01:280:01:31

so fingers crossed.

0:01:310:01:33

Is that it? You don't have the literature side?

0:01:330:01:36

Well, the rest of us are marketing,

0:01:360:01:37

so hopefully we've got the rest covered between us.

0:01:370:01:40

Well, what better place to put your expertise to the test

0:01:400:01:43

than against the Eggheads, for quite a lot of money?

0:01:430:01:45

Let me tell you about it.

0:01:450:01:46

Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:460:01:49

for our Challengers, however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:490:01:53

the prize-money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:530:01:55

So, Festival Five, the Eggheads have won the last three games,

0:01:550:01:58

and that means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:01:580:02:02

First head-to-head battle,

0:02:020:02:03

it's going to be on the subject of Food & Drink.

0:02:030:02:05

Who'd like to play this one? As you know,

0:02:050:02:07

any one of you can come in to bat on the first round.

0:02:070:02:10

OK, I think I'll tackle Food & Drink.

0:02:100:02:12

Leading the charge.

0:02:120:02:14

Team captain Lauren, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

0:02:140:02:17

-Do you think Pat?

-Yeah.

-We're saying Pat.

0:02:170:02:20

I'd like to play against Pat, please.

0:02:200:02:23

-How do you feel about that, Pat?

-Tip-top, yes.

0:02:230:02:26

-Tip-top!

-Tip-top.

0:02:260:02:28

-OK.

-Let's have Tip-top Pat and Lauren

0:02:280:02:30

into the Question Room then, please, to make sure you can't confer.

0:02:300:02:34

OK, Lauren, playing the first round, it's Food & Drink.

0:02:360:02:39

You don't have a food festival at Cheltenham, do you?

0:02:390:02:41

We do have one in Cheltenham, it's not one of ours, actually,

0:02:410:02:45

unfortunately!

0:02:450:02:46

But I'm a big fan of food, and drink,

0:02:460:02:49

so fingers crossed I'll be able to

0:02:490:02:52

pull a few right answers out of the bag.

0:02:520:02:54

Some good restaurants there in Cheltenham.

0:02:540:02:56

Yeah, lovely, actually, and some good watering holes.

0:02:560:02:59

And some varied cuisine, because this really is

0:02:590:03:02

an international round, we've found in the past.

0:03:020:03:04

Mmm. Yes, we'll see how I get on.

0:03:040:03:07

We will indeed.

0:03:070:03:09

Would you like to go first or second, Lauren?

0:03:090:03:11

I'll go second.

0:03:110:03:12

OK, hoping for a slip-up then from the Egghead.

0:03:150:03:17

That Egghead today is Pat. First question to you, then.

0:03:170:03:21

What name is given to a lamb or pork dish consisting of ribs

0:03:210:03:24

arranged in a circle with the bones pointing upwards?

0:03:240:03:28

I think I can remember a long time ago

0:03:320:03:34

on the cover of a Woman's Weekly - my mother used to get the magazine -

0:03:340:03:38

and I think it's a crown roast.

0:03:380:03:40

Don't lie to me, you subscribe to it,

0:03:400:03:42

I know, Pat, I saw you reading it the other day.

0:03:420:03:44

-You said you wouldn't tell, Dermot.

-Yeah, you lent it to me.

0:03:440:03:47

It's the right answer, crown roast.

0:03:470:03:49

OK, Lauren,

0:03:490:03:51

your first question -

0:03:510:03:53

which Italian dessert is made from sponge fingers soaked in coffee

0:03:530:03:57

and liqueur and topped with mascarpone and cocoa powder?

0:03:570:04:01

Well, I'm a big fan of all three of these desserts, actually.

0:04:050:04:09

I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine in general.

0:04:090:04:11

I think I know the answer to this one.

0:04:110:04:13

I'm pretty sure it's not semifreddo.

0:04:130:04:17

Zabaglione, I don't think it's that one either,

0:04:170:04:21

so I'm going to go for tiramisu.

0:04:210:04:23

Tiramisu...

0:04:230:04:24

is the right answer. You haven't missed that one.

0:04:240:04:26

One each.

0:04:260:04:28

And safely off the mark for Lauren.

0:04:280:04:31

Pat, cantal is a cow's milk cheese made chiefly in which region?

0:04:310:04:36

I've heard of the cheese, I don't think I've ever eaten any.

0:04:400:04:43

Those three places are,

0:04:430:04:46

respectively, France, Spain and Italy.

0:04:460:04:51

I've a feeling it's a French cheese, so I'll go for Auvergne.

0:04:510:04:54

You got it, yeah, it's the right answer, it is French.

0:04:540:04:57

OK, well, you've got the lead back,

0:04:570:04:59

see if you can catch him up, Lauren.

0:04:590:05:01

Which of these culinary terms can refer

0:05:010:05:03

to a savoury mixture baked in a cup-shaped mould?

0:05:030:05:06

I'm not sure about this one. Erm...

0:05:110:05:13

I'm going to go for timbale, just cos it sounds like

0:05:150:05:18

more of that kind of shape. I'll go for timbale.

0:05:180:05:22

OK, timbale, cos it sounds like it's right,

0:05:220:05:24

and it is right.

0:05:240:05:25

Well done, and it's all square and, Pat,

0:05:250:05:27

hachiya and fuyu are astringent

0:05:270:05:30

and non-astringent varieties of which fruit?

0:05:300:05:34

Pineapples generally are sweet,

0:05:390:05:41

I'm not sure you would have an astringent variety.

0:05:410:05:45

The names sound Japanese, quite Japanese.

0:05:450:05:50

Of those three fruits,

0:05:500:05:51

the one that would strike me as most Japanese is persimmon.

0:05:510:05:54

I think they grow persimmons. I'll go for persimmon.

0:05:560:05:59

OK, and you've got it, it's the right answer, Pat

0:05:590:06:01

in the lead again. Good round.

0:06:010:06:04

Now, a point of danger for you, Lauren,

0:06:040:06:06

you need to get this one or you won't be in the final round.

0:06:060:06:09

The production technique called carbonic maceration

0:06:090:06:13

is part is particularly associated with what type of drink?

0:06:130:06:16

Goodness, I've never heard of that in my life.

0:06:210:06:24

Carbonic, so I presume it's carbon,

0:06:270:06:31

so I'm kind of thinking about fizzy drinks from...

0:06:310:06:37

From that I'm going to have to go with champagne, I think.

0:06:370:06:41

It's not the right answer, it's incorrect, Lauren.

0:06:430:06:47

Pat, do you know?

0:06:470:06:48

Well, Beaujolais is made very quickly, so maceration

0:06:480:06:52

is a sort of cutting up of the fruit, so I'd gamble on Beaujolais.

0:06:520:06:57

Red Beaujolais is the answer we were looking for,

0:06:570:06:59

it means no chance for a comeback there.

0:06:590:07:01

You were hoping for Pat to slip up, he didn't, you have,

0:07:010:07:04

which means no place in the final round, Lauren, I'm sorry about that.

0:07:040:07:07

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:07:070:07:09

Bad luck to you, there, Lauren.

0:07:100:07:12

Always difficult, the first round, first into battle

0:07:120:07:15

and bravely tried to dislodge Pat there.

0:07:150:07:17

Just didn't work in the end, which means the Eggheads are all there

0:07:170:07:20

and the Festival Five have lost one brain from the final round so far.

0:07:200:07:23

Our next subject today then is Music.

0:07:230:07:26

Well, Music. Plenty of you here would like to play this,

0:07:260:07:29

it can't be Lauren, who wants to take it on?

0:07:290:07:31

-I feel good about this, I'm going to do this.

-You sure?

0:07:310:07:35

Yeah, I'm going to do it, I'll take this one.

0:07:350:07:37

He's confident, "I feel good about this," says David.

0:07:370:07:39

Who do you want to feel bad about it from the Eggheads?

0:07:390:07:42

Pat can't play, he's already participated,

0:07:420:07:45

so any of the other four.

0:07:450:07:46

-Chris.

-I would go for Chris.

0:07:460:07:48

I think I'm going to play Chris.

0:07:480:07:50

David has decided to play Chris at Music,

0:07:500:07:52

could you both please go to the Question Room?

0:07:520:07:54

OK, David, you get to choose, you're the Challenger -

0:07:550:07:58

do you want to go first or second?

0:07:580:08:00

Well, I think the captain showed us how it was done by going second,

0:08:000:08:03

so I'm going to actually go first, please.

0:08:030:08:05

And, David, first question then -

0:08:080:08:09

which handheld instrument takes the form of a frame

0:08:090:08:13

hung with pairs of small metal discs?

0:08:130:08:16

The fact that it's discs suggests it's not a triangle.

0:08:190:08:23

And our music festival managers would probably kill me

0:08:230:08:25

if I don't get this right.

0:08:250:08:27

I think it's tambourine.

0:08:270:08:29

Yeah, the description makes you think, doesn't it?

0:08:290:08:33

It is the right answer, of course, yes, tambourine.

0:08:330:08:35

You got that, well done.

0:08:350:08:38

Chris, the Parisian electronic duo

0:08:380:08:40

known for wearing robot-like headgear is called Daft what?

0:08:400:08:45

They're called Daft Punk.

0:08:480:08:51

Or "Punk Daft", in French.

0:08:510:08:54

Yeah, I was going to say, a French accent will do.

0:08:540:08:56

It's the right answer either way. Daft Punk.

0:08:560:08:59

OK, David.

0:08:590:09:01

The singer Tony Bennett was born in which city?

0:09:010:09:03

So, I think I'm pretty sure he has a song about San Francisco.

0:09:070:09:12

I don't think it's Philadelphia, but he's kind of got that

0:09:150:09:20

New York thing about him when you hear him speak,

0:09:200:09:22

he's got that kind of erm...

0:09:220:09:25

Yeah, that kind of...

0:09:250:09:27

I'm going to go with New York, I'll try that.

0:09:270:09:29

Going for New York and Tony Bennett.

0:09:290:09:31

You've got it, it's the right answer, well done.

0:09:310:09:33

Well worked out.

0:09:330:09:35

Tony Bennett was the first person

0:09:350:09:36

to appear in The Simpsons as himself.

0:09:360:09:38

Oh, they're... They're cartoons.

0:09:400:09:42

Yes, well done.

0:09:420:09:44

-Voicing himself.

-OK, thank you.

0:09:440:09:46

And he was singing on a street corner in Capital City,

0:09:460:09:49

which was taken to be a metaphor for New York.

0:09:490:09:52

-Ah, that's how YOU would have got it.

-That's how I knew it.

0:09:520:09:55

Right, pressure is on Chris, then.

0:09:550:09:57

Which lyricist won an Oscar and a Grammy

0:09:570:10:00

for the song A Whole New World?

0:10:000:10:02

Bernie Taupin mostly writes for Elton John,

0:10:070:10:10

Don Black writes for anybody who'll pay him,

0:10:100:10:13

but I think A Whole New World was written by Tim Rice.

0:10:130:10:16

Tim Rice for A Whole New World.

0:10:160:10:18

An Oscar and a Grammy, a good haul for it.

0:10:180:10:20

It is the right answer, it is Sir Tim.

0:10:200:10:23

Both going really well here.

0:10:230:10:25

And third question, David.

0:10:250:10:27

Who's second solo album was released in 2009

0:10:270:10:31

with the title Further Complications?

0:10:310:10:34

Well, I know that Damon Albarn has done a lot of work outside of Blur

0:10:380:10:45

with various different bands,

0:10:450:10:47

but I'm not too sure about his solo work.

0:10:470:10:49

I know Brett Anderson is the front man of Suede

0:10:490:10:52

and he had a break recently to do some stuff.

0:10:520:10:55

But, just given the title and given the man,

0:10:570:11:00

I'm going to go with Jarvis Cocker.

0:11:000:11:02

You're doing well, it's correct! Yes!

0:11:020:11:05

Right,

0:11:060:11:07

all three there. Chris needs this.

0:11:070:11:10

Chris, what does the title

0:11:100:11:12

of Puccini's opera La Rondine mean in English?

0:11:120:11:16

The Swallow would be "la hirondelle", so it's not that,

0:11:200:11:23

The Magic Flute is "die zauberflote" in German,

0:11:230:11:26

so it's The Merry Widow.

0:11:260:11:28

"Lustige witwe" in German.

0:11:280:11:30

OK, The Merry Widow, Puccini's opera La Rondine.

0:11:300:11:34

CJ, you don't look happy.

0:11:340:11:36

Merry Widow was written by Franz Lehar.

0:11:360:11:38

I think it's The Swallow.

0:11:380:11:39

The Swallow, Chris...

0:11:390:11:41

..is the answer we're looking for, not The Merry widow, which means...

0:11:420:11:46

..you're going to have to "swallow" the bitter taste of defeat.

0:11:480:11:51

Well done, David, that was a very assured performance,

0:11:510:11:54

bring that form into the final round in a little bit.

0:11:540:11:57

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:570:11:59

Well, David in blistering form there means it's evened it all up.

0:12:010:12:05

Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.

0:12:050:12:08

Very excited about the next round,

0:12:080:12:09

I want to see if you can keep this up, Festival Five. It's History.

0:12:090:12:12

Who are you going to put in for this one? History.

0:12:120:12:15

-Ooh.

-It's one of the two of you.

0:12:150:12:16

I don't mind doing it, if you want.

0:12:160:12:18

I mean, I'm not massively confident, but I'll give it a go.

0:12:180:12:20

-I think you'll be better.

-Yeah? I'll do it. Yeah.

0:12:200:12:22

-We're going to go with Phil.

-You've got Phil.

0:12:220:12:25

OK, Phil, from the Eggheads, remember Chris and Pat have played,

0:12:250:12:28

so you can have Judith, CJ or Barry.

0:12:280:12:31

I think CJ's our best bet.

0:12:310:12:33

Yeah, do it.

0:12:330:12:34

I don't think I've got a chance either way, but...

0:12:340:12:36

Yeah, we'll go CJ, please.

0:12:360:12:38

CJ, OK.

0:12:380:12:39

So, on History it's Phil from Festival Five

0:12:390:12:41

versus CJ from the Eggheads.

0:12:410:12:43

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:12:430:12:44

would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:12:440:12:47

-So, Phil, you work for the jazz festival, right?

-Yeah, that's right.

0:12:480:12:52

And you play a bit of jazz, as well?

0:12:520:12:54

Well, I did used to. I have less time for that now,

0:12:540:12:57

now I actually work organising jazz events,

0:12:570:12:59

so I haven't played for a few years properly, really.

0:12:590:13:02

But you go and listen to some of the greats, do you, at the festival?

0:13:020:13:05

Yeah, well, I try to get to as much as I can at the festival,

0:13:050:13:08

but, as Lauren said, we're quite busy a lot of the time.

0:13:080:13:11

But I get to get around and see things elsewhere, as well,

0:13:110:13:14

as part of my job, which is great.

0:13:140:13:16

OK, History you've chosen.

0:13:160:13:18

Do you want to go first or second?

0:13:180:13:19

Well, following Dave's lead, I think I'll have to go first.

0:13:190:13:23

First question then to you, Phil.

0:13:250:13:27

Under the Treaty of Versailles after World War I,

0:13:270:13:30

which country was required to pay the Allied powers

0:13:300:13:33

£6,600 million approximately?

0:13:330:13:36

OK, well, World War I, there's an obvious answer there,

0:13:390:13:45

but looking at the options, I'm sure it's not Japan,

0:13:450:13:48

I'm not even sure if they were involved in that treaty.

0:13:480:13:52

Russia probably had some involvement,

0:13:520:13:54

but obviously revolution during the war.

0:13:540:13:56

I think it's Germany, I'm fairly sure it was Germany.

0:13:560:13:59

OK, the obvious answer, but it's the right one,

0:13:590:14:02

yes, and a lot of essays been written over the years

0:14:020:14:06

about whether those reparations in the end led to the Second World War.

0:14:060:14:10

OK, and first question for you, CJ.

0:14:100:14:13

The Hearth Tax levied on every fire hearth in Britain

0:14:130:14:16

was abolished in 1689 and later replaced by which of these taxes?

0:14:160:14:22

It led to a lot of houses just bricking them up,

0:14:250:14:29

it was the Window Tax.

0:14:290:14:31

Window Tax.

0:14:310:14:32

Is that why, I mean you still see it on some Georgian buildings,

0:14:320:14:35

you still see what looks like

0:14:350:14:36

it should be a window but it's bricks?

0:14:360:14:38

Just bricked up, yeah, just to save money.

0:14:380:14:40

OK.

0:14:400:14:42

OK, all square after the early exchanges.

0:14:420:14:45

Phil, second question.

0:14:450:14:47

In which year did Henry VIII

0:14:470:14:48

begin and end his marriage to Anne of Cleves?

0:14:480:14:51

OK. I'm not certain on this one.

0:14:570:14:59

It's something I know roughly when it was,

0:15:010:15:03

but "roughly" isn't any of those options.

0:15:030:15:05

Um... I'm going to go down the middle with 1530.

0:15:050:15:09

OK, 1530 for the short-lived marriage between Henry VIII

0:15:090:15:13

and Anne of Cleves. CJ,

0:15:130:15:14

no, you're shaking your head.

0:15:140:15:16

1540.

0:15:160:15:17

1540, we wanted there,

0:15:170:15:19

so nothing there for you, Phil.

0:15:190:15:21

OK, CJ, your second question.

0:15:210:15:23

In April 1242, the Russians, under Alexander Nevsky,

0:15:230:15:28

defeated the Teutonic Knights on what type of battle ground?

0:15:280:15:32

Um, it's not a beach.

0:15:370:15:38

I think the Nevsky battle was very far north.

0:15:380:15:43

Uh...

0:15:450:15:46

I always associate Nevsky with very cold places,

0:15:460:15:49

so I'll try a frozen lake.

0:15:490:15:51

Frozen lake, OK, well, it could be a pine forest,

0:15:510:15:54

and indeed, sandy beaches,

0:15:540:15:56

but it is a frozen lake. It's the right answer. Well done.

0:15:560:15:59

So you have a lead, and alarm bells ringing

0:15:590:16:02

for you, then, Phil. You need this.

0:16:020:16:04

The stately home known as Castle Howard was built

0:16:040:16:07

for which member of the nobility?

0:16:070:16:09

Castle Howard...

0:16:140:16:16

I'm 80% sure I know where this is,

0:16:180:16:20

but I'm probably wrong, knowing my luck so far on my last question.

0:16:200:16:24

So, it's just working out, based on the locations of those...

0:16:250:16:30

Hereford...

0:16:300:16:31

I'm going to say, probably foolishly,

0:16:320:16:36

it's not Hereford.

0:16:360:16:39

I'm going to go with Earl of Carlisle.

0:16:390:16:42

OK, must-get question.

0:16:420:16:44

Phil going through agonies there.

0:16:440:16:46

Castle Howard. You know where it is? Where do you think it is?

0:16:460:16:49

-I think it's in the North, in Yorkshire.

-OK.

0:16:490:16:54

No, I'm not twisting the knife. I'll put you out of your misery.

0:16:540:16:57

-It is the right answer, Phil!

-Well done!

0:16:570:17:00

DERMOT LAUGHS

0:17:010:17:03

Thought I was being mean to you. No, not at all!

0:17:030:17:05

-Is it in Yorkshire, Barry?

-North Yorkshire, yes.

-North, whereabouts?

0:17:050:17:09

Between York and Scarborough.

0:17:090:17:10

Oh, OK. So you were right about that as well, Phil. It's in Yorkshire.

0:17:100:17:14

Can't give you two points, though, but that was a crucial question,

0:17:140:17:17

as I say. You've got to hope that CJ doesn't get this, though.

0:17:170:17:20

He still has the whip hand.

0:17:200:17:21

CJ, what was the official stance of Great Britain

0:17:210:17:24

during the American Civil War?

0:17:240:17:26

Ah.

0:17:300:17:31

Now, there were secret...

0:17:330:17:35

..missives and approaches made,

0:17:380:17:40

some of them by Victoria, which were pro-Confederate,

0:17:400:17:44

but I don't think that was the official stance.

0:17:440:17:46

I think the pro-Confederate messages that were sent

0:17:480:17:51

were done very secretively.

0:17:510:17:53

But purely because there was so much secretive stuff going on,

0:17:550:17:59

I will plump for neutral.

0:17:590:18:01

You've got it, CJ, you worked it out. It is neutral.

0:18:010:18:03

Officially Great Britain was neutral during the American Civil War,

0:18:030:18:07

which means we can't remain neutral any more

0:18:070:18:09

in judging this round. The scores tell us, Phil, it's over for you,

0:18:090:18:12

I'm afraid you're not playing in the final round.

0:18:120:18:15

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:18:150:18:18

Well, that was a competitive, and indeed an information-rich round,

0:18:180:18:22

which CJ won through on, which means the balance of power stands as this.

0:18:220:18:26

The Festival Five have lost two brains from the final round.

0:18:260:18:29

The Eggheads have lost one brain, but it could be all square

0:18:290:18:32

in the final round, depending on the outcome of our last head-to-head.

0:18:320:18:35

It's Arts & Books.

0:18:350:18:37

Well, these are falling nicely for you, Festival Five.

0:18:370:18:40

-Definitely you!

-And who wants to play?

0:18:400:18:42

It's going to be me.

0:18:430:18:45

-OK, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

-Judith.

0:18:450:18:49

No, no, go for Barry,

0:18:490:18:50

because if he's left to the end...

0:18:500:18:52

We'd rather not have Barry, in my view.

0:18:520:18:55

I think it's going to be Barry.

0:18:560:18:59

You sure about that?

0:18:590:19:00

No!

0:19:000:19:01

Well, do you want to think again?

0:19:010:19:04

-No, I'm going to go for Barry.

-OK, you've said it now.

0:19:040:19:07

Let's have Leksi and Barry into the Question Room, please.

0:19:070:19:10

OK, well, you get to choose, Leksi. Do you want to go first or second?

0:19:110:19:14

I'm going to go first, get it out of the way.

0:19:140:19:17

Good luck, Leksi. First question -

0:19:200:19:21

how many individual novels

0:19:210:19:23

first published between 1995 and the year 2000

0:19:230:19:27

comprise the Philip Pullman series known as His Dark Materials?

0:19:270:19:31

I do actually know the answer to this.

0:19:340:19:36

They're all set in Oxford, just up the road,

0:19:360:19:39

and there are three of them.

0:19:390:19:40

-Have you read them?

-I have, yes.

0:19:400:19:42

That's good, and you've got it right. First question to you.

0:19:420:19:46

Three.

0:19:460:19:48

And Barry, what is the first name

0:19:480:19:50

of the title character of a 19th-century novel

0:19:500:19:52

who is the daughter of John and Joan Durbeyfield?

0:19:520:19:55

This is one of my favourite Hardy novels, and the title character

0:19:580:20:02

is the inimitable Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

0:20:020:20:04

Ah, yes, OK. Worked that out.

0:20:040:20:07

It's right, yes, by Thomas Hardy.

0:20:070:20:09

Back to you, Leksi. Which Latin phrase describes paintings

0:20:100:20:13

and symbols that are intended to remind viewers on their mortality?

0:20:130:20:18

Well, very many years ago, I did take Latin as a GCSE.

0:20:220:20:27

I remember that "mori" is death,

0:20:270:20:29

so I'm going to go with Memento Mori.

0:20:290:20:32

Whoa, that'll do! Yes, well remembered. It's the right answer.

0:20:320:20:35

Barry, in the early 20th century, which country was

0:20:370:20:40

the centre of the avant-garde art movement known as vorticism?

0:20:400:20:44

Vortice pictures, they're all swirling shapes in brightish colours

0:20:480:20:52

and they were centred on Britain.

0:20:520:20:54

-Really?

-Mm-hmm.

0:20:540:20:56

Yeah, can't put you off, can I?

0:20:560:20:58

It's the right answer, yes.

0:20:580:21:00

Two each.

0:21:000:21:02

Leksi, going well, keep it up here.

0:21:020:21:04

What is the title of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2002 novel

0:21:040:21:08

by Geoffrey Eugenides?

0:21:080:21:10

This one is going to have to be a guess.

0:21:140:21:17

Norfolk is slightly standing out as a possibility.

0:21:170:21:22

I'm going to go for Norfolk, but I'm not sure.

0:21:220:21:25

OK, Norfolk.

0:21:250:21:26

It's Middlesex. It's not Norfolk.

0:21:260:21:30

There we are. Right, well,

0:21:300:21:32

it means you can win the round with this, Barry.

0:21:320:21:35

Who wrote the novel The Awakening,

0:21:350:21:38

that ends with the line, "There was the hum of bees

0:21:380:21:41

"and the musky odour of pinks filled the air."

0:21:410:21:44

It's a novel from a fair while back, and I think

0:21:470:21:50

Edith Wharton and Kate Chopin are both from that sort of period,

0:21:500:21:53

but I seem to recollect

0:21:530:21:54

that The Awakening was written by Kate Chopin.

0:21:540:21:57

It is correct. Barry, you're through to the final round.

0:21:570:22:01

Bad luck, Leksi. So unfortunate,

0:22:010:22:03

there, just on the last question.

0:22:030:22:05

It means Barry has deprived you of a place in the final round.

0:22:050:22:08

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:22:080:22:12

So we've reached that point, what we've been playing towards.

0:22:120:22:14

Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,

0:22:140:22:17

but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:170:22:20

won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:22:200:22:22

so Lauren, Phil and Leksi from The Festival Five,

0:22:220:22:26

and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:22:260:22:27

it's time for you all to leave the studio, please.

0:22:270:22:30

Right, well, David and James,

0:22:320:22:33

you're playing to win The Festival Five £4,000.

0:22:330:22:36

CJ, Barry, Judith and Pat,

0:22:360:22:38

you're playing for something money can't buy.

0:22:380:22:40

It is your very reputation.

0:22:400:22:42

And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:420:22:44

This time the questions are all General Knowledge,

0:22:440:22:46

so anything can come up and you can confer in the final round,

0:22:460:22:50

so, Festival Five, the question is,

0:22:500:22:52

are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:520:22:55

David and James, what would you like to do? Go first or second?

0:22:550:22:58

-First?

-Yeah.

-We'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:22:580:23:00

Let's get on with it, then. Can you win the money today? £4,000.

0:23:040:23:08

The first question in the final round is this.

0:23:080:23:11

Who played Dylan Sanders in the 2000 film Charlie's Angels?

0:23:110:23:17

I don't know, but you're pretty good at films, so...

0:23:210:23:24

DAVID LAUGHS

0:23:240:23:26

Well, I think...

0:23:260:23:28

Uma Thurman wasn't in that film.

0:23:280:23:30

-Very true.

-Um...

0:23:300:23:32

Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu,

0:23:330:23:34

it's between one of those two.

0:23:340:23:36

I'm sure they were both in it.

0:23:360:23:38

-Drew Barrymore?

-Do you feel good about that?

-Yeah.

-Do it.

0:23:380:23:41

We'll go for Drew Barrymore, please, Dermot.

0:23:410:23:44

Drew Barrymore as Dylan Sanders in Charlie's Angels.

0:23:440:23:47

It's the right answer. Well done.

0:23:470:23:49

Good start.

0:23:490:23:51

And Eggheads, which Liberal Democrat MP

0:23:510:23:53

became Energy and Climate Change Secretary in February 2012?

0:23:530:23:58

-Davey.

-Ed Davey.

-Which Liberal Democrat MP

0:24:020:24:04

became Energy and Climate Change Secretary in February 2012?

0:24:040:24:08

OK, Ed Davey was made Secretary...

0:24:080:24:10

What was he the secretary of?

0:24:100:24:12

Energy, energy will do.

0:24:120:24:14

Secretary for Energy in 2012.

0:24:140:24:17

OK, yes, because who had to resign?

0:24:170:24:20

-Was it Chris Huhne?

-Oh, yes, he went to prison, didn't he, Chris Huhne?

0:24:200:24:25

-Yeah, well, he resigned originally to fight the charges in 2012.

-Yes.

0:24:250:24:30

-Fought the charges and lost.

-Yeah.

0:24:300:24:32

The answer is Ed Davey.

0:24:320:24:34

It's the right answer. Well done, Eggheads.

0:24:340:24:36

And second question to you, David and James.

0:24:380:24:41

What was the name of the vessel launched in 1944 that was

0:24:410:24:46

the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy?

0:24:460:24:49

I think Vanguard's quite recent.

0:24:530:24:55

-Yeah.

-I've heard of it a lot more recently, I would say.

0:24:550:25:00

I would definitely rule out HMS Kelly, I would say.

0:25:000:25:02

The one that screams out to me is Ark Royal,

0:25:020:25:04

and it's the one that I've heard of.

0:25:040:25:07

When the answers were said, that was the one that felt good to me.

0:25:070:25:11

Shall we go with it? You happy to go with it?

0:25:110:25:14

-HMS Ark Royal, please, Dermot.

-OK, Ark Royal

0:25:140:25:17

launched in 1944,

0:25:170:25:19

the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy.

0:25:190:25:22

It's incorrect. It's not HMS Ark Royal.

0:25:220:25:25

-Eggheads?

-It's HMS Vanguard.

-It's Vanguard.

0:25:250:25:29

I'm like the lads there,

0:25:290:25:32

not very good with my classes of vessel.

0:25:320:25:33

When I said 1944 for the last battleship

0:25:330:25:35

to be built by the Royal Navy -

0:25:350:25:37

it's all how you class them.

0:25:370:25:38

-Ark Royal is, of course...

-An aircraft carrier.

0:25:380:25:40

An aircraft carrier. It's Vanguard,

0:25:400:25:42

the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy in 1944.

0:25:420:25:45

So, a chance for the Eggheads, then.

0:25:450:25:47

In cricket, which off-spin bowler

0:25:470:25:50

is credited with pioneering the doosra?

0:25:500:25:53

D-O-O-S-R-A.

0:25:580:26:01

I've a feeling it's Mushtaq.

0:26:010:26:03

I think it came from the subcontinent.

0:26:030:26:06

Yes, I'm pretty certain it came from India.

0:26:060:26:08

Tradition of mystifying deliveries.

0:26:080:26:10

OK, shall I say Mushtaq?

0:26:100:26:12

We think it's Mushtaq.

0:26:150:26:17

Saqlain Mushtaq.

0:26:170:26:19

How did you deal with that delivery? You smashed it over the boundary.

0:26:190:26:22

It is the right answer, Eggheads,

0:26:220:26:25

and puts you in a very good position,

0:26:250:26:27

and a perilous position for David and James.

0:26:270:26:30

You need to get this.

0:26:300:26:32

Yohji Yamamoto,

0:26:320:26:34

born in 1943, found fame as a designer

0:26:340:26:37

in which field?

0:26:370:26:38

So...

0:26:420:26:44

I don't... I'd be guessing.

0:26:440:26:46

When I was at uni, I wrote a paper on production techniques

0:26:460:26:51

and it was to do with building cars

0:26:510:26:54

and that name...

0:26:540:26:56

somewhere maybe links to that.

0:26:560:27:00

It could be... I could be totally wrong.

0:27:000:27:02

I'm happy. I haven't got an incling towards furniture or fashion.

0:27:020:27:05

-Can we just thave the name again, please?

-You can.

0:27:050:27:08

It's first name Yohji, Y-O-H-J-I.

0:27:080:27:11

And then Yamamoto, Y-A-M-A-M-O-T-O.

0:27:110:27:15

-We're going to go for cars, please, Dermot.

-OK, cars, on Yojhi Yamamoto.

0:27:180:27:23

Is it cars, Eggheads?

0:27:230:27:25

Fashion designer.

0:27:250:27:26

He was from Hiroshima.

0:27:260:27:28

It is fashion, which means it's incorrect,

0:27:280:27:31

and it means, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:310:27:33

Bad luck, guys. That set of questions

0:27:370:27:39

just didn't suit you at all, did it? You were whittled down.

0:27:390:27:42

I don't know how your team-mates would've done

0:27:420:27:44

if they'd managed to make it through to the final round.

0:27:440:27:47

They're shaking their heads. There's some consolation there.

0:27:470:27:49

It's been great to see you.

0:27:490:27:51

Listen, best of luck with all that work,

0:27:510:27:53

and I know how hard you do work keeping those festivals going

0:27:530:27:56

and keeping Cheltenham thriving.

0:27:560:27:58

You've been, well, not quite thriving here today

0:27:580:28:00

but kept the Eggheads going,

0:28:000:28:01

gave them a bit of a run for their money

0:28:010:28:03

in some of those head-to-heads. But not to be, in the end.

0:28:030:28:06

And those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:060:28:08

and they still reign supreme over Quizland.

0:28:080:28:11

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000.

0:28:110:28:13

That means the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:130:28:16

And, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:160:28:19

Do join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:190:28:22

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:220:28:24

It's £5,000 that now says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
