0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24A big welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Leeds Infomaniacs.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Now, this team of colleagues
0:00:39 > 0:00:41all work for the same tourist information office
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and say they regularly set quizzes for each other
0:00:44 > 0:00:46to keep their minds sharp.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48That's what we want to hear. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm John, I'm 41, and I'm visitor centre manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 63, and I'm a visitor centre supervisor.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Kris, I'm 31, and a visitor centre assistant manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Jacob, I'm 19, and I'm a tourism information assistant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Duncan, I'm 55, and I'm a tourist information assistant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Welcome to you, Leeds Infomaniacs. So, I like that introduction.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15You've got lots of information crammed into your brains.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17But is it just about Leeds? It might be a bit narrow.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21No, we think we cover a wider area than just the city of Leeds.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22We cover all of Yorkshire.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And in fact, people ask us about everything in the country.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26OK, so it's for the whole of Yorkshire.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Cos I was going to say there's a lot of competition
0:01:28 > 0:01:31in Yorkshire, isn't there? I mean, you've so much there to see.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's a beautiful county,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35something of which we're all very proud to belong to.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38As you rightly say, there's so many beautiful attractions
0:01:38 > 0:01:40from the dales, to the coast, to the moors
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and to obviously our very great cities.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43And a very great city of Leeds
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- which I know one Egghead will agree with totally.- Absolutely!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ask them a fact about Leeds, Barry, that they might not know.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Let's have an impromptu quiz here. No points for this one.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Something they might not know. Try to catch them out.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Mm... Who took the first photograph ever on Leeds Bridge?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01That was Louis Le Prince.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03They're good. They're good.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05DERMOT LAUGHS
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We'll just continue. I'll throw away the questions.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We'll just do it that way until you catch them out.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Unfortunately, the quiz isn't just going to be about Leeds,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14or indeed even.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16It's very wide ranging as you know. Let's play it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:18 > 0:02:20up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So, Leeds Infomaniacs, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30so that means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32All right, first head-to-head battle.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38First attempt to knock an Egghead out of the final round. It's Music.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Who'd like to play this? Music.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Well, we said that...- It was going to be me.- You, Duncan?- Yep.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- It's going to be me.- OK, Duncan. Now, choose any of those Eggheads.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Um... Should we go for Chris?- Chris? - Go for Chris?- Yep.- Go for it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I'm going to go for Chris.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Checking carefully there, but Duncan,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58it's all agreed that he will play Chris from the Eggheads on Music.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Would you both go to the Question Room, please?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Just to make sure there's no conferring.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, Duncan, give me the five second pitch on Leeds.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Say I arrived there, I'm off the train. I know about the bars,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13the restaurant, all the wonderful sport, the football, the cricket...
0:03:13 > 0:03:14What else should I do?
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Well, some of the great attractions are to be found in the city centre
0:03:20 > 0:03:22including the Royal Armouries Museum
0:03:22 > 0:03:25which is one of the most impressive collections of armour
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and armour you'll find anywhere,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30not only in Leeds, but in the country, if not the best.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, right, well, thank you very much for that I'm booking my ticket now.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34OK.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38All right, now Duncan, it's Music. Doing to go first or second?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good luck. Here's your first question, Duncan.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Which male singer had a UK number one single in 1987
0:03:48 > 0:03:50with I Just Can't Stop Loving You?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I don't think it's David Bowie.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I do like David Bowie a lot and I don't recollect him
0:04:01 > 0:04:03singing that song.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05And...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Don't think it's a Michael Jackson song,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09so I'm going to go with Phil Collins.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12OK, Phil Collins for I Just Can't Stop Loving You.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It is in fact a Michael Jackson song. It's the wrong answer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's Michael Jackson.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19OK, missed that one. Right.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Chris, who is the original third member of the group Bros
0:04:22 > 0:04:24with the twins Matt and Luke Goss?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yeah, I think it was Craig.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Do you remember them, Chris?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I remember them, held them in boundless contempt,
0:04:37 > 0:04:38and erased the tapes ever since.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Boundless contempt...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Right, well, Chris, that is the right answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48As you've seen it's gone green and you're one up, then.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50OK, Duncan, your second question.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56This Nearly Was Mine is a solo song for which character in a musical?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I haven't the foggiest on this one, so it's going to have to be...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10..something of a guess on this one.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And I will go with...
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Emile de Becque.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17OK, Emile de Becque. I think you're doing the same thing as I was.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I obviously can see the answer here
0:05:19 > 0:05:22but not familiar with it in Grease or The Sound of Music,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24so it's got to be whatever Emile de Becque is in.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I think you don't know either. It is the right answer.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Let's ask the Eggheads. - South Pacific.- South Pacific.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34This nearly was mine. Give us a few bars, anybody?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36# This nearly was mine. #
0:05:39 > 0:05:45Right. OK. Reasons to go to Leeds and reasons not to go to Leeds.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48You might just bump into Barry singing one day.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52All right. Well, you're off the mark. That's great news, Duncan.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Second question for Chris.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The aria with the French title
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Votre Toast, Je Peux Vous Le Rendre
0:05:59 > 0:06:02sung by Escamillo is from which opera?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, I don't recognise the title in French,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10but Escamillo is a bullfighter in Carmen.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12So, Carmen is the answer.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yeah. Carmen's right.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15OK. Right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Duncan, you need this then as you can tell from the scoreboard.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22What is the real first name of the singer Emeli Sande?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Again, I don't know this one. I have, of course, heard of Emeli Sande...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I...I'm going to eliminate Adele
0:06:36 > 0:06:42and I'm going to pick Florence.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44OK Florence. Florence Sande.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47No, it's not the right answer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's Adele.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Adele Sande, which means, yep round's over there.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Chris has already amassed a mighty two points.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You've only got one, which means you won't be in the final.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00You will be there, Chris.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06OK. Well, the Eggheads out of the blocks first.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09As it stands, the Leeds Infomaniacs have lost one brain
0:07:09 > 0:07:10from the final round.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12The Eggheads haven't lost any yet.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And our second head-to-head is Sport.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Now, I know a lot of you enjoy sport including you, Duncan,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20but you've already played, so you're not eligible for this one.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Who'd like to take it on?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, it's going to have to be me.- I think it needs to be Jake.- Jacob.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, Jacob, choose an Egghead.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It can't be Chris, any of the other four.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Choose Judith.- Yeah, Judith.- Go for Judith, yeah.- Judith.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35OK. Two J's. Jacob and Judith into the question room,
0:07:35 > 0:07:36please, to play the Sport round.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40So, Jacob, are you a very sporty type?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Erm, like to think so, yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Let's see how you do in this round.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52All right. First question for you, Jacob.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson
0:07:55 > 0:07:56was born in which country?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Erm, I'm not 100% sure, but the name sounds pretty Swedish.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07So, Scandinavian area, so I think I'm going to have to go for Sweden.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It is, yes. Sweden is the right answer.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Judith, which of these tennis players
0:08:14 > 0:08:17made it to the last 16 of the ladies single tournament
0:08:17 > 0:08:19at Wimbledon in 2013?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I think, erm, it was Laura Robson who did rather well in 2013.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31She did! And you've done very well with your own question.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Right up your street, that was, a little bit of tennis.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36That's the way you like to start, Judith.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And, Jacob, your second question, then.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Which county cricket team have a test ground in Chester-le-Street?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yeah, well, Yorkshire play at Headingley
0:08:46 > 0:08:52and Surrey play at the Oval, so erm, it's going to have to be Durham.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Yeah, it is Durham.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Everyone cheering before because we all know it
0:08:56 > 0:09:00and it was always a 50-50 for you with Yorkshire in there.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02And Judith, your second question.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05South Korean sportswoman Inbee Park
0:09:05 > 0:09:09found fame as a leading competitor in which sport?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I...I don't somehow think it could be darts or snooker,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19so I think it's most likely to be golf.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Yeah, logic dictates and it's the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Two each. OK.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29A third question for both of you. This is yours, Jacob.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33The Formula One scoring system introduced for the 2010 season
0:09:33 > 0:09:35awards 25 points to the winner
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and how many points to the driver in second place?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, erm, I'm not sure,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but before you said the answer I thought 18 in my head.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, I'm going to have to go with 18.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK. Do you watch a lot of Formula One?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Not really. It bores me a little bit, to be honest.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well, 18 is right for second place.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Right, well, Judith, you need to get this as you well know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Judith, what with the nickname of Jim Wicks,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06who served as the manager of boxer Henry Cooper?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Absolutely no idea.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Erm...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Perhaps, he's called The Bishop.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- OK. The Bishop, you think, other Eggheads?- Think so.- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21They're agreeing. It is the right answer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- It is the Bishop? Oh, well...- Well done, Judith.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Very good scoring by both of you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's all square and three ticks each.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, it means we go for the first time in this game, Jacob,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34to sudden death and remove the options you have been looking at.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37So, can you tell me without any choices
0:10:37 > 0:10:41in which sport did the Romanian Daniela Silivas
0:10:41 > 0:10:46win six medals including three golds in the 1988 Olympic Games?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Erm, a bit before my time.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Erm... High jump.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55High jump. No.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Artistic gymnastics.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK. Your question, Judith.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The writer Henry Chadwick, who was born in Exeter in 1824,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06is often referred to as 'the father'
0:11:06 > 0:11:09of which popular North American sport?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Erm, it's not basketball because that's someone else.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I don't know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I was going to say rounders. Erm, baseball.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Baseball... It's kind of a form of rounders.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Erm, Henry Chadwick...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Other Eggheads?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- It's the right answer, Judith. - It isn't?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- It is. It's right. It's correct. - Well, that is a miracle.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Baseball is correct.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And that takes you through to the final round, Judith.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38No place for you, Jacob. I'm sorry.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Well, Judith winning that Sports round,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46which means that Leeds Infomaniacs have now lost two brains
0:11:46 > 0:11:49from the final round and the Eggheads are all intact.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Time to start knocking some Eggheads out, Infomaniacs.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So, let's play our next subject. It's Science.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Who'd like to play that one? Science.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59CHATTER
0:11:59 > 0:12:02OK, Chris, we've got you. Who'd you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Judith and Chris here have played, so you've got Barry, CJ, or Kevin.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I'm going to take Kevin on, I think. Yeah. Kevin.- Go for it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12OK, let's have Chris and Kevin into the question room now, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16All right, Chris. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'll go first, please.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22All right. Best of luck, Chris. Here you go.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24What name is given to large-scale processes
0:12:24 > 0:12:27affecting the structure of the Earth's crust?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Well, as a geology graduate,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36hopefully I should get this one right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Erm, it's not trajectories.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42It's not the second one, so I'm going to go for tectonics.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK. Yes. You are right as I don't need to tell you.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Kevin, which of these is a stage in the life cycle of the mealworm?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Hm.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Not actually made much of a study of mealworms, to be perfectly honest.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I certainly... I mean, I'll dismiss drone.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- I... - HE SIGHS
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I'd have to go with hatchling.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17OK. Hatchling, a life cycle of a mealworm...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- It's pupa.- Is it? Well...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22OK, well, this is interesting.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25But, lots of quizzing to do in this round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Let's see if you can get through, Chris.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Correct answer here would really increase your chances.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34In chemistry, what is a substance
0:13:34 > 0:13:36that measures greater than seven on the pH scale?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK. Well, neutral is seven.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47An acid is less than seven, so that would leave alkali.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Full answer and correct.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Again, you that inside-out. So, two-nil, Kevin.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Here's your next question.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59What colour is the mineral lazurite?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05What colour is the mineral lazurite? L-A-Z-U-R-I-T-E.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Well, lapis lazuli is a colour
0:14:08 > 0:14:14much prized in painting in days gone by and that's a blue colour.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So, I think I'll have to go for blue.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yes, that is correct, but is it too late?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Two-one.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22And a place in the final round awaits you, Chris,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24with a correct answer here.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Which of these is another name for the creature known as a teledu.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30T-E-L-E-D-U.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40That is a tricky one. I'm going to have to...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42going to have to have a guess there.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Not heard of a Javan stink badger.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Not saying it doesn't exist,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47but it's...it's not something I've heard of.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Erm... I'm trying to think
0:14:49 > 0:14:52what would people come into contact with the most
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and give it a name...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I'll go for New Guinea toothless snake, please.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59A New Guinea toothless snake.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01A teledu is...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03a Javan stink badger.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The one you hadn't heard of.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06So, missed it there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Well, will Kevin be in forgiving mode
0:15:09 > 0:15:12or is he going to draw level and take us into sudden death?
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Kevin, E621 is the reference number given to which food additive?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I don't know this.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It's not a number that I'm...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You know, that I've seen and I...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I th...
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I think I've seen the ones for both tartrazine
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and monosodium glutamate.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41And that's not ringing any...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46..any bells. I think one of them is 102 or something. I can't...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I may be completely off beam here,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52but I think I'll have to go for aspartame.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56OK. Aspartame. Chris, you looked down there. Do you think it is?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I think it is as well.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Oh, well, it's not.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yes!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- It is monosodium glutamate. - Ah, OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I thought you knew, Chris. Doesn't matter.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13You knew more than he did during those first three questions.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14You knew two, he only knew one.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Takes you through to the final round. You've knocked Kevin out.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, what a performance there. Chris, brilliant stuff there.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26You were wondering. I'm just laughing.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You were wondering about the Javan stink badger.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I wouldn't recommend you trying to find out a bit more
0:16:31 > 0:16:32up close and personal to one of them
0:16:32 > 0:16:34because, apparently, I'm just reading here,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36they can asphyxiate dogs.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37They smell so bad.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41More closely related to skunks than badgers.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43All right, Chris, well done there.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44You have knocked Kevin out,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47which now means the Leeds Infomaniacs
0:16:47 > 0:16:49still lost of those two brains from the final rounds.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And so on to our next subject. It's Arts and Books.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Last chance to knock another Egghead out. Who wants to play it?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58All right. I'll go.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- It's going to be Mike.- OK, Mike.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And who'd you like to play from the Eggheads.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05You can play CJ or Barry.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- CJ, I think.- CJ.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09OK, Mike and CJ, into the question room, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16So, Mike, I hear you've met some of the theatrical greats in your time.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yes, I have. I was house manager at the Royal Court Theatre
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- in London for quite a few years.- Wow! - And...
0:17:23 > 0:17:24So, I did meet sort of...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27In fact, Laurence Olivier gave me 10 cigarettes at the stage door
0:17:27 > 0:17:30for getting a taxi for him once.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35I never smoked. I kept the cigarettes for quite a while, so...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So, Lord Olivier. Who else?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Ralph Richardson, Gielgud, Paul Scofield, Ian McKellen...
0:17:41 > 0:17:43My goodness me!
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Also, people like Lauren Bacall I met there. Albert Finney.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well, wonderful memories. Would be great
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- if we had a question involving... - Yeah, well, I'm hoping.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And would you like to go first or second?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I think I'll go second, I think cos everybody's going first.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58So, I'll try going second.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03That means, CJ, you get the first question.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06What was the middle name of the Irish poet Yeats?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11William Butler Yeats.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'll take it you're going for Butler, then.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It is the right answer. Yes, Butler.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And Mike, your first question, then.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Which of these paintings is approximately 3 meters tall
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and eight meters in length?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Right. I was hoping it wasn't going to be a art question.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36It was going to be books or the theatre.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Erm, it is a guess, I'm afraid.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I'll go with Girl With A Pearl...Pearl Earring, I think.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45OK. Girl With A Pearl Earring...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47No, Mike. It's not. CJ?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- It's Guernica.- It's Guernica. OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, let's see how CJ does with his second question.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Will he extend his lead?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Theodore Boone, a kid lawyer,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59is the first in a series of children's books by which writer?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I have absolutely no idea.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08However, you always look for a clue in the question
0:19:08 > 0:19:11and when you see 'Grisham' and 'lawyer' together
0:19:11 > 0:19:14that's always a fairly good indication, isn't it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Let's try John Grisham.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19OK. It is the right answer. Well worked out, CJ.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Two-nil lead. OK.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Alarm bells ringing. Mike, you need this.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27What are the last words spoken by Romeo before his death
0:19:27 > 0:19:29in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'll go with thus with a kiss I die.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Thus with a kiss I die.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I suppose you didn't put on a lot of Shakespeare, did you?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- No, no, I'm afraid we didn't.- OK.- It was very a...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48a writers' theatre and not Shakespeare, I'm afraid.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK. Thus with a kiss I die, though you have identified it. Yes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Romeo's final lines.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59But CJ has an opportunity to close the round down here.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01CJ, who wrote the play Dancing At Lughnasa?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm afraid there's not much to say. It's Brian Friel.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Ah... OK. It is Brian Friel.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Theatre question. I'm sure you would have loved that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I knew... I knew that one. Yes, I did.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17But that's the way the cookie crumbles.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It means you won't be in the final round. CJ, you're there.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's time now for the final round, which as always,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30is General Knowledge, but I'm afraid, those of you
0:20:30 > 0:20:33who've lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part
0:20:33 > 0:20:36in this round. So, Mike, Jacob and Duncan from the Leeds Infomanics
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and Kevin from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46So, John and Chris, you're playing to win the Leeds Infomanics £8,000.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48CJ, Barry, Chris and Judith,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53The Egghead's reputation.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And as usual, I asked each team three questions in turn.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01And you are allowed to confer, so Leeds Infomaniacs,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And John and Chris, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09We'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Let's get on with it, then. First set of questions
0:21:15 > 0:21:17for the Leeds Infomaniacs. Good luck.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Eurostar trains from London terminate
0:21:19 > 0:21:22at which major railway station in Paris?
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- It's...it's not Marne-la-vallee. I think it's Gare du Nord.- I was...
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I was going towards Gare du Nord.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Not 100%, Dermot, but we think it's Gare du Nord.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Gare du Nord.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49Eggheads, according to the proverb 'an army marches on its...' What?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Stomach?- Stomach probably.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I think this is one of Napoleon's famous remark and it's so true,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00but an army marches on its stomach.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03It is the right answer. Well done, Barry. Stomach.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Well done, Eggheads. Back to you, Chris and John. Second question.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11In 2010, Ruth Wilson took on the role of Alice Morgan
0:22:11 > 0:22:13in which TV drama series?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I have not watched any of those.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I don't want any of those programmes, but...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Have you got an idea?- I would probably edge towards Luther.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26He thinks Luther.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Right. I've got nothing to go with. - Well... I don't know.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I've not watched any of those programmes, I'm afraid.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Erm, again we are not 100%, Dermot,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but we're going to plump with Luther.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43OK. Having to guess. £8,000 at stake.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well done.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Well, something there in the back of Chris's mind.- Yep.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Getting the answer there.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54OK, Eggheads, which Scottish-born chef opened a Chelsea restaurant
0:22:54 > 0:22:59in 1998 that received a third Michelin star in 2001?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Gordon Ramsay.- Richard Corrigan is Irish.- Gordon Ramsay.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I thought Gordon Ramsay straightaway.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Does any body think anything different?- I'm not going to argue.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I'm not going to argue either.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- I don't think Nairn or Corrigan have got three stars, have they?- No.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15And Corrigan is Irish, yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Oh, OK. Well... Oh, yeah, Corrigan... Would make a good point.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23OK then. Well, we're pretty certain Richard Corrigan is Irish,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24so we'll discount him.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29And we think the Scottish-born chef is the great Gordon Ramsay.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Gordon Ramsay with three Michelin stars.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's the right answer, Eggheads, yes. Well done. All right.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Third questions each. Well, this could decide where the money goes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Whether it rolls over or whether you get it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Here you go, Leeds Infomaniacs.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Carolingian minuscule was a style of what
0:23:46 > 0:23:48as developed at the Emperor Charlemagne's court?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56I'll spell 'carolingian' for you. C-A-R-O-L-I-N-G-I-A-N.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Carolingian minuscule.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Minuscule which suggests it's sort of small.- I think it's handwriting.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's like one of the fonts that you pick, I think.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Carolingian font?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Yeah.- It'd be a guess again, but I'd go for handwriting.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I've got nothing to suggest it's any of the other two, so...
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- I think it's our best guess there, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Erm, I think, Dermot, we're plumping...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Edging towards handwriting.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Handwriting. Barry, you like handwriting. It is correct?
0:24:29 > 0:24:34- It's a beautiful calligraphic handwriting.- Yes!- Correct.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35You have three.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And you could lose this winning run you've been on
0:24:38 > 0:24:40if you don't get this.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Eggheads, Charles Curtis was vice president of the United States
0:24:44 > 0:24:46during the administration of which president?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- This is one Kevin would know instantly.- Yep.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58I was hoping there'd be a bit more further... Space than that.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Three in a row, isn't it?- Yeah. - I'm inclined to go for Hoover.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- I've got no feelings about anything. - I'm happy to go for that.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I think we'd have heard of him if he was Wilson's vice president.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Yeah.- The First World War.- It was the First World War.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Yes, and I think we might have heard of him with Coolidge...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yeah, it would have been CC CC, wouldn't it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- That would stick in somebody's mind somewhere.- Hoover was only one term,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- OK?- OK.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Well, we're really feeling the absence of Kevin on this one,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25who would have of course known this instantly.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're not really sure on this,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30but we feel that if he was Wilson or Coolidge's vice president,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32we might have heard of him a little bit more
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and it might have stuck in our consciousness.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37So, on that rather spacious premise, we're going for Herbert Hoover.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39OK Herbert Hoover.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And just nod if you know the answer, Kevin.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Kevin does know the answer, but you know the answer, too. It is correct.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Herbert Hoover. Oh, guys, yeah. Yeah...
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Just put that out of your mind, it's now down to sudden death.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56We've played earlier on.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Here's your question.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00In Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04which fictional creature performs the dance known as
0:26:04 > 0:26:08'The Lobster Quadrille' with a mock turtle?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- It's not a real animal. - It's a fictional creature.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- So, it's something like a unicorn or...- It's a unicorn or a...
0:26:15 > 0:26:16- What else is there?- There's a Griffin.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- What else had they got made up? - Erm...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It was a turtle. It's a dance of a turtle.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yeah...
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Was it a sea...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28A mer... No, a mermaid, no.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Would you call a mermaid a creature?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34A fictional creature.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Could be.- I don't remember seeing a mermaid...- No.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- ..but I haven't seen a unicorn either.- No.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- I'll have to go for unicorn because I can't think of anything else.- Yes.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Yeah. We're not sure, Dermot, again, but we...
0:26:49 > 0:26:54going on the character...fictional character. We're going with unicorn.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Unicorn.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57And the mock turtle.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I'm afraid it's not right. No. And you said it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- A Griffin.- It is a Griffin.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I said it!
0:27:06 > 0:27:11You did say it. You passed through it and unfortunately, in the end,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13went for the unicorn.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So, Eggheads, chance to win the game.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19What was the title of the 1980s TV comedy series

0:27:23 > 0:27:26What was the title of the 1980s TV comedy series
0:27:26 > 0:27:30in which Bill Maynard starred as Fred Moffat?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- I think it's, oh...- No. He was Selwyn Froggitt in that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Bill Moffat, he was The Gaffer.- Yes. Yes. The earlier one.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- It's called The Gaffer.- Yeah, I like that. I like that. Yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Well, I'm reliably...reliably informed by Chris
0:27:43 > 0:27:44that he was called The Gaffer.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Fred Moffat, Bill Maynard playing him...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50known as...
0:27:50 > 0:27:54The Gaffer. It's the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Couldn't have been closer.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We had the griffin versus The Gaffer at the end of two. Geez.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, listen, bad luck, Leeds Infomaniacs.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And Chris, well done, you, for knocking that man out as well
0:28:10 > 0:28:12sitting silently in the question room.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Not to be on the day,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15but best of luck for the future.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Thanks once again for playing the Eggheads,
0:28:17 > 0:28:18but they've done what comes naturally to them
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and their winning streak continues, I'm afraid.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31And join us next time to see
0:28:31 > 0:28:35if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37£9,000 says they don't.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
