These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
the show where a team of five quiz Challengers | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
And taking on our awesome quiz champions today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
are The Festival Five. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
This team of friends are all associated with | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
the Cheltenham Festivals, a series of music, literature | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
and science events that take place each year in Gloucestershire. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm 26 and I'm a marketing executive. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 29 and I'm a festival manager. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Leksi, I'm 31 and I'm a festival manager. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm David, I'm 28 and I'm a digital marketing manager. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi, I'm James, I'm 27 and I'm a marketing analyst. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Well, welcome to you, Festival Five. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
I've got high hopes for you today, given the range | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
of subjects that the festivals cover. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
You must have so many different expertises. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
You work on them, do you get to go to any of the events? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
You must do. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
We try, yeah, we're pretty busy during the festivals, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
but we do try and get to as much as we possibly can. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
We've got jazz festival and music festival representatives here, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
so fingers crossed. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Is that it? You don't have the literature side? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Well, the rest of us are marketing, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
so hopefully we've got the rest covered between us. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Well, what better place to put your expertise to the test | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
than against the Eggheads, for quite a lot of money? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Let me tell you about it. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
for our Challengers, however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
the prize-money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
So, Festival Five, the Eggheads have won the last three games, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
and that means £4,000 says you can't beat them today. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
First head-to-head battle, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
it's going to be on the subject of Food & Drink. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Who'd like to play this one? As you know, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
any one of you can come in to bat on the first round. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
OK, I think I'll tackle Food & Drink. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Leading the charge. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Team captain Lauren, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-Do you think Pat? -Yeah. -We're saying Pat. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
I'd like to play against Pat, please. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-How do you feel about that, Pat? -Tip-top, yes. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-Tip-top! -Tip-top. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-OK. -Let's have Tip-top Pat and Lauren | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
into the Question Room then, please, to make sure you can't confer. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
OK, Lauren, playing the first round, it's Food & Drink. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
You don't have a food festival at Cheltenham, do you? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
We do have one in Cheltenham, it's not one of ours, actually, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
unfortunately! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
But I'm a big fan of food, and drink, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
so fingers crossed I'll be able to | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
pull a few right answers out of the bag. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Some good restaurants there in Cheltenham. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Yeah, lovely, actually, and some good watering holes. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
And some varied cuisine, because this really is | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
an international round, we've found in the past. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Mmm. Yes, we'll see how I get on. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
We will indeed. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Would you like to go first or second, Lauren? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
I'll go second. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
OK, hoping for a slip-up then from the Egghead. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
That Egghead today is Pat. First question to you, then. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
What name is given to a lamb or pork dish consisting of ribs | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
arranged in a circle with the bones pointing upwards? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
I think I can remember a long time ago | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
on the cover of a Woman's Weekly - my mother used to get the magazine - | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
and I think it's a crown roast. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Don't lie to me, you subscribe to it, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I know, Pat, I saw you reading it the other day. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-You said you wouldn't tell, Dermot. -Yeah, you lent it to me. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
It's the right answer, crown roast. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
OK, Lauren, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
your first question - | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
which Italian dessert is made from sponge fingers soaked in coffee | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
and liqueur and topped with mascarpone and cocoa powder? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
Well, I'm a big fan of all three of these desserts, actually. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine in general. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
I think I know the answer to this one. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
I'm pretty sure it's not semifreddo. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
Zabaglione, I don't think it's that one either, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
so I'm going to go for tiramisu. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Tiramisu... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
is the right answer. You haven't missed that one. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
One each. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
And safely off the mark for Lauren. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Pat, cantal is a cow's milk cheese made chiefly in which region? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
I've heard of the cheese, I don't think I've ever eaten any. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Those three places are, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
respectively, France, Spain and Italy. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
I've a feeling it's a French cheese, so I'll go for Auvergne. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
You got it, yeah, it's the right answer, it is French. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
OK, well, you've got the lead back, | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
see if you can catch him up, Lauren. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Which of these culinary terms can refer | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
to a savoury mixture baked in a cup-shaped mould? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
I'm not sure about this one. Erm... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
I'm going to go for timbale, just cos it sounds like | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
more of that kind of shape. I'll go for timbale. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
OK, timbale, cos it sounds like it's right, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
and it is right. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
Well done, and it's all square and, Pat, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
hachiya and fuyu are astringent | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
and non-astringent varieties of which fruit? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Pineapples generally are sweet, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
I'm not sure you would have an astringent variety. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
The names sound Japanese, quite Japanese. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
Of those three fruits, | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
the one that would strike me as most Japanese is persimmon. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
I think they grow persimmons. I'll go for persimmon. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
OK, and you've got it, it's the right answer, Pat | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
in the lead again. Good round. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Now, a point of danger for you, Lauren, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
you need to get this one or you won't be in the final round. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
The production technique called carbonic maceration | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
is part is particularly associated with what type of drink? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Goodness, I've never heard of that in my life. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Carbonic, so I presume it's carbon, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
so I'm kind of thinking about fizzy drinks from... | 0:06:31 | 0:06:37 | |
From that I'm going to have to go with champagne, I think. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
It's not the right answer, it's incorrect, Lauren. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
Pat, do you know? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, Beaujolais is made very quickly, so maceration | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
is a sort of cutting up of the fruit, so I'd gamble on Beaujolais. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
Red Beaujolais is the answer we were looking for, | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
it means no chance for a comeback there. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
You were hoping for Pat to slip up, he didn't, you have, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
which means no place in the final round, Lauren, I'm sorry about that. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Bad luck to you, there, Lauren. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Always difficult, the first round, first into battle | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
and bravely tried to dislodge Pat there. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Just didn't work in the end, which means the Eggheads are all there | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
and the Festival Five have lost one brain from the final round so far. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
Our next subject today then is Music. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Well, Music. Plenty of you here would like to play this, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
it can't be Lauren, who wants to take it on? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-I feel good about this, I'm going to do this. -You sure? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
Yeah, I'm going to do it, I'll take this one. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
He's confident, "I feel good about this," says David. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Who do you want to feel bad about it from the Eggheads? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Pat can't play, he's already participated, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
so any of the other four. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
-Chris. -I would go for Chris. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
I think I'm going to play Chris. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
David has decided to play Chris at Music, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
could you both please go to the Question Room? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
OK, David, you get to choose, you're the Challenger - | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
do you want to go first or second? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Well, I think the captain showed us how it was done by going second, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
so I'm going to actually go first, please. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
And, David, first question then - | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
which handheld instrument takes the form of a frame | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
hung with pairs of small metal discs? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
The fact that it's discs suggests it's not a triangle. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
And our music festival managers would probably kill me | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
if I don't get this right. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
I think it's tambourine. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Yeah, the description makes you think, doesn't it? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
It is the right answer, of course, yes, tambourine. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
You got that, well done. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Chris, the Parisian electronic duo | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
known for wearing robot-like headgear is called Daft what? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
They're called Daft Punk. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Or "Punk Daft", in French. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Yeah, I was going to say, a French accent will do. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
It's the right answer either way. Daft Punk. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
OK, David. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
The singer Tony Bennett was born in which city? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
So, I think I'm pretty sure he has a song about San Francisco. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
I don't think it's Philadelphia, but he's kind of got that | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
New York thing about him when you hear him speak, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
he's got that kind of erm... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
Yeah, that kind of... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
I'm going to go with New York, I'll try that. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
Going for New York and Tony Bennett. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
You've got it, it's the right answer, well done. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Well worked out. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Tony Bennett was the first person | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
to appear in The Simpsons as himself. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Oh, they're... They're cartoons. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Yes, well done. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-Voicing himself. -OK, thank you. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
And he was singing on a street corner in Capital City, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
which was taken to be a metaphor for New York. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-Ah, that's how YOU would have got it. -That's how I knew it. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Right, pressure is on Chris, then. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Which lyricist won an Oscar and a Grammy | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
for the song A Whole New World? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Bernie Taupin mostly writes for Elton John, | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Don Black writes for anybody who'll pay him, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
but I think A Whole New World was written by Tim Rice. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Tim Rice for A Whole New World. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
An Oscar and a Grammy, a good haul for it. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
It is the right answer, it is Sir Tim. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Both going really well here. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
And third question, David. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Who's second solo album was released in 2009 | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
with the title Further Complications? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Well, I know that Damon Albarn has done a lot of work outside of Blur | 0:10:38 | 0:10:45 | |
with various different bands, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
but I'm not too sure about his solo work. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
I know Brett Anderson is the front man of Suede | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
and he had a break recently to do some stuff. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
But, just given the title and given the man, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
I'm going to go with Jarvis Cocker. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
You're doing well, it's correct! Yes! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Right, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
all three there. Chris needs this. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Chris, what does the title | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
of Puccini's opera La Rondine mean in English? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
The Swallow would be "la hirondelle", so it's not that, | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
The Magic Flute is "die zauberflote" in German, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
so it's The Merry Widow. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
"Lustige witwe" in German. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
OK, The Merry Widow, Puccini's opera La Rondine. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
CJ, you don't look happy. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Merry Widow was written by Franz Lehar. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
I think it's The Swallow. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
The Swallow, Chris... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
..is the answer we're looking for, not The Merry widow, which means... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
..you're going to have to "swallow" the bitter taste of defeat. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Well done, David, that was a very assured performance, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
bring that form into the final round in a little bit. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Well, David in blistering form there means it's evened it all up. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
Both teams have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Very excited about the next round, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
I want to see if you can keep this up, Festival Five. It's History. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Who are you going to put in for this one? History. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-Ooh. -It's one of the two of you. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
I don't mind doing it, if you want. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
I mean, I'm not massively confident, but I'll give it a go. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-I think you'll be better. -Yeah? I'll do it. Yeah. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-We're going to go with Phil. -You've got Phil. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
OK, Phil, from the Eggheads, remember Chris and Pat have played, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
so you can have Judith, CJ or Barry. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
I think CJ's our best bet. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Yeah, do it. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
I don't think I've got a chance either way, but... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Yeah, we'll go CJ, please. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
CJ, OK. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
So, on History it's Phil from Festival Five | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
versus CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
would you please take your positions in the Question Room? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-So, Phil, you work for the jazz festival, right? -Yeah, that's right. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
And you play a bit of jazz, as well? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Well, I did used to. I have less time for that now, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
now I actually work organising jazz events, | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
so I haven't played for a few years properly, really. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
But you go and listen to some of the greats, do you, at the festival? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Yeah, well, I try to get to as much as I can at the festival, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
but, as Lauren said, we're quite busy a lot of the time. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
But I get to get around and see things elsewhere, as well, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
as part of my job, which is great. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
OK, History you've chosen. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
Well, following Dave's lead, I think I'll have to go first. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
First question then to you, Phil. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
Under the Treaty of Versailles after World War I, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
which country was required to pay the Allied powers | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
£6,600 million approximately? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
OK, well, World War I, there's an obvious answer there, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:45 | |
but looking at the options, I'm sure it's not Japan, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
I'm not even sure if they were involved in that treaty. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
Russia probably had some involvement, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
but obviously revolution during the war. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
I think it's Germany, I'm fairly sure it was Germany. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
OK, the obvious answer, but it's the right one, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
yes, and a lot of essays been written over the years | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
about whether those reparations in the end led to the Second World War. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
OK, and first question for you, CJ. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
The Hearth Tax levied on every fire hearth in Britain | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
was abolished in 1689 and later replaced by which of these taxes? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:22 | |
It led to a lot of houses just bricking them up, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
it was the Window Tax. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
Window Tax. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
Is that why, I mean you still see it on some Georgian buildings, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
you still see what looks like | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
it should be a window but it's bricks? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Just bricked up, yeah, just to save money. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
OK. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
OK, all square after the early exchanges. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Phil, second question. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
In which year did Henry VIII | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
begin and end his marriage to Anne of Cleves? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
OK. I'm not certain on this one. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
It's something I know roughly when it was, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
but "roughly" isn't any of those options. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Um... I'm going to go down the middle with 1530. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
OK, 1530 for the short-lived marriage between Henry VIII | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
and Anne of Cleves. CJ, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
no, you're shaking your head. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
1540. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
1540, we wanted there, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
so nothing there for you, Phil. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
OK, CJ, your second question. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
In April 1242, the Russians, under Alexander Nevsky, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
defeated the Teutonic Knights on what type of battle ground? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Um, it's not a beach. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
I think the Nevsky battle was very far north. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
Uh... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
I always associate Nevsky with very cold places, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
so I'll try a frozen lake. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Frozen lake, OK, well, it could be a pine forest, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
and indeed, sandy beaches, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
but it is a frozen lake. It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
So you have a lead, and alarm bells ringing | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
for you, then, Phil. You need this. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
The stately home known as Castle Howard was built | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
for which member of the nobility? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
Castle Howard... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
I'm 80% sure I know where this is, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
but I'm probably wrong, knowing my luck so far on my last question. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
So, it's just working out, based on the locations of those... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
Hereford... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
I'm going to say, probably foolishly, | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
it's not Hereford. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
I'm going to go with Earl of Carlisle. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
OK, must-get question. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
Phil going through agonies there. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
Castle Howard. You know where it is? Where do you think it is? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-I think it's in the North, in Yorkshire. -OK. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
No, I'm not twisting the knife. I'll put you out of your misery. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-It is the right answer, Phil! -Well done! | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
DERMOT LAUGHS | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Thought I was being mean to you. No, not at all! | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-Is it in Yorkshire, Barry? -North Yorkshire, yes. -North, whereabouts? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Between York and Scarborough. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
Oh, OK. So you were right about that as well, Phil. It's in Yorkshire. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
Can't give you two points, though, but that was a crucial question, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
as I say. You've got to hope that CJ doesn't get this, though. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
He still has the whip hand. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
CJ, what was the official stance of Great Britain | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
during the American Civil War? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Ah. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
Now, there were secret... | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
..missives and approaches made, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
some of them by Victoria, which were pro-Confederate, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
but I don't think that was the official stance. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
I think the pro-Confederate messages that were sent | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
were done very secretively. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
But purely because there was so much secretive stuff going on, | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
I will plump for neutral. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
You've got it, CJ, you worked it out. It is neutral. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Officially Great Britain was neutral during the American Civil War, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
which means we can't remain neutral any more | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
in judging this round. The scores tell us, Phil, it's over for you, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
I'm afraid you're not playing in the final round. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Well, that was a competitive, and indeed an information-rich round, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
which CJ won through on, which means the balance of power stands as this. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
The Festival Five have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain, but it could be all square | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
in the final round, depending on the outcome of our last head-to-head. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
It's Arts & Books. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Well, these are falling nicely for you, Festival Five. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-Definitely you! -And who wants to play? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
It's going to be me. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-OK, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads? -Judith. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
No, no, go for Barry, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
because if he's left to the end... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
We'd rather not have Barry, in my view. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
I think it's going to be Barry. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
You sure about that? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
No! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
Well, do you want to think again? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-No, I'm going to go for Barry. -OK, you've said it now. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Let's have Leksi and Barry into the Question Room, please. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
OK, well, you get to choose, Leksi. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
I'm going to go first, get it out of the way. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Good luck, Leksi. First question - | 0:19:20 | 0:19:21 | |
how many individual novels | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
first published between 1995 and the year 2000 | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
comprise the Philip Pullman series known as His Dark Materials? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
I do actually know the answer to this. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
They're all set in Oxford, just up the road, | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
and there are three of them. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
-Have you read them? -I have, yes. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
That's good, and you've got it right. First question to you. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
Three. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
And Barry, what is the first name | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
of the title character of a 19th-century novel | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
who is the daughter of John and Joan Durbeyfield? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
This is one of my favourite Hardy novels, and the title character | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
is the inimitable Tess of the d'Urbervilles. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
Ah, yes, OK. Worked that out. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
It's right, yes, by Thomas Hardy. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
Back to you, Leksi. Which Latin phrase describes paintings | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
and symbols that are intended to remind viewers on their mortality? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
Well, very many years ago, I did take Latin as a GCSE. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
I remember that "mori" is death, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
so I'm going to go with Memento Mori. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Whoa, that'll do! Yes, well remembered. It's the right answer. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Barry, in the early 20th century, which country was | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
the centre of the avant-garde art movement known as vorticism? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Vortice pictures, they're all swirling shapes in brightish colours | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
and they were centred on Britain. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-Really? -Mm-hmm. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Yeah, can't put you off, can I? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
It's the right answer, yes. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Two each. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
Leksi, going well, keep it up here. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
What is the title of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2002 novel | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
by Geoffrey Eugenides? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
This one is going to have to be a guess. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Norfolk is slightly standing out as a possibility. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
I'm going to go for Norfolk, but I'm not sure. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
OK, Norfolk. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
It's Middlesex. It's not Norfolk. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
There we are. Right, well, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
it means you can win the round with this, Barry. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
Who wrote the novel The Awakening, | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
that ends with the line, "There was the hum of bees | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
"and the musky odour of pinks filled the air." | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
It's a novel from a fair while back, and I think | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Edith Wharton and Kate Chopin are both from that sort of period, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
but I seem to recollect | 0:21:53 | 0:21:54 | |
that The Awakening was written by Kate Chopin. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
It is correct. Barry, you're through to the final round. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
Bad luck, Leksi. So unfortunate, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
there, just on the last question. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
It means Barry has deprived you of a place in the final round. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
So we've reached that point, what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
so Lauren, Phil and Leksi from The Festival Five, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
it's time for you all to leave the studio, please. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Right, well, David and James, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
you're playing to win The Festival Five £4,000. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
CJ, Barry, Judith and Pat, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
you're playing for something money can't buy. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
It is your very reputation. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
so anything can come up and you can confer in the final round, | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
so, Festival Five, the question is, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
David and James, what would you like to do? Go first or second? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
-First? -Yeah. -We'll go first, please, Dermot. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Let's get on with it, then. Can you win the money today? £4,000. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
The first question in the final round is this. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
Who played Dylan Sanders in the 2000 film Charlie's Angels? | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
I don't know, but you're pretty good at films, so... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
DAVID LAUGHS | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
Well, I think... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
Uma Thurman wasn't in that film. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
-Very true. -Um... | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
it's between one of those two. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
I'm sure they were both in it. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-Drew Barrymore? -Do you feel good about that? -Yeah. -Do it. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
We'll go for Drew Barrymore, please, Dermot. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Drew Barrymore as Dylan Sanders in Charlie's Angels. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
It's the right answer. Well done. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Good start. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
And Eggheads, which Liberal Democrat MP | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
became Energy and Climate Change Secretary in February 2012? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
-Davey. -Ed Davey. -Which Liberal Democrat MP | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
became Energy and Climate Change Secretary in February 2012? | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
OK, Ed Davey was made Secretary... | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
What was he the secretary of? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Energy, energy will do. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
Secretary for Energy in 2012. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
OK, yes, because who had to resign? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
-Was it Chris Huhne? -Oh, yes, he went to prison, didn't he, Chris Huhne? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
-Yeah, well, he resigned originally to fight the charges in 2012. -Yes. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
-Fought the charges and lost. -Yeah. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
The answer is Ed Davey. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
It's the right answer. Well done, Eggheads. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
And second question to you, David and James. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
What was the name of the vessel launched in 1944 that was | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
I think Vanguard's quite recent. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
-Yeah. -I've heard of it a lot more recently, I would say. | 0:24:55 | 0:25:00 | |
I would definitely rule out HMS Kelly, I would say. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
The one that screams out to me is Ark Royal, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
and it's the one that I've heard of. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
When the answers were said, that was the one that felt good to me. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Shall we go with it? You happy to go with it? | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
-HMS Ark Royal, please, Dermot. -OK, Ark Royal | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
launched in 1944, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
It's incorrect. It's not HMS Ark Royal. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
-Eggheads? -It's HMS Vanguard. -It's Vanguard. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
I'm like the lads there, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
not very good with my classes of vessel. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:33 | |
When I said 1944 for the last battleship | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
to be built by the Royal Navy - | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
it's all how you class them. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
-Ark Royal is, of course... -An aircraft carrier. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
An aircraft carrier. It's Vanguard, | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
the last battleship to be built for the Royal Navy in 1944. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
So, a chance for the Eggheads, then. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
In cricket, which off-spin bowler | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
is credited with pioneering the doosra? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
D-O-O-S-R-A. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
I've a feeling it's Mushtaq. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
I think it came from the subcontinent. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Yes, I'm pretty certain it came from India. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Tradition of mystifying deliveries. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
OK, shall I say Mushtaq? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
We think it's Mushtaq. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Saqlain Mushtaq. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
How did you deal with that delivery? You smashed it over the boundary. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
It is the right answer, Eggheads, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
and puts you in a very good position, | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
and a perilous position for David and James. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
You need to get this. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Yohji Yamamoto, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
born in 1943, found fame as a designer | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
in which field? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
So... | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
I don't... I'd be guessing. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
When I was at uni, I wrote a paper on production techniques | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
and it was to do with building cars | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
and that name... | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
somewhere maybe links to that. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
It could be... I could be totally wrong. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
I'm happy. I haven't got an incling towards furniture or fashion. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
-Can we just thave the name again, please? -You can. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
It's first name Yohji, Y-O-H-J-I. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
And then Yamamoto, Y-A-M-A-M-O-T-O. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
-We're going to go for cars, please, Dermot. -OK, cars, on Yojhi Yamamoto. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:23 | |
Is it cars, Eggheads? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
Fashion designer. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
He was from Hiroshima. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
It is fashion, which means it's incorrect, | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
and it means, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
Bad luck, guys. That set of questions | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
just didn't suit you at all, did it? You were whittled down. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
I don't know how your team-mates would've done | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
if they'd managed to make it through to the final round. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
They're shaking their heads. There's some consolation there. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
It's been great to see you. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Listen, best of luck with all that work, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
and I know how hard you do work keeping those festivals going | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
and keeping Cheltenham thriving. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
You've been, well, not quite thriving here today | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
but kept the Eggheads going, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
gave them a bit of a run for their money | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
in some of those head-to-heads. But not to be, in the end. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
And those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
and they still reign supreme over Quizland. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
That means the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
And, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
Do join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
It's £5,000 that now says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
