0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths
0:00:34 > 0:00:36today are The Featherheads. This team of friends
0:00:36 > 0:00:38all know one another through
0:00:38 > 0:00:40playing badminton together in the Coventry league.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Barry, I'm 61 and I'm a retired engineer.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 49 and I'm an author.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's Phil, I'm 48 and I'm a metrologist.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Simon, I'm 52 and I'm a retired police officer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Wayne, I'm 57 and I'm an accountant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Welcome to you, Featherheads.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Right, I'm understanding the team name now, with the badminton link, there,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I thought it was just another play on the Eggheads.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09We have many teams doing that.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13No, no, the actual feathers, because we play a lot of matches with feathers
0:01:13 > 0:01:15rather than synthetic ones.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Are these seen as the best shuttlecocks?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Erm, arguably yes, but if you play in the lower leagues and never
0:01:22 > 0:01:24play with anything other than plastic, people would disagree.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- But...- they are, they do produce a better game.- OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33And, so, was it after a match that you decided to play the Eggheads, take them on?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Basically, yes. Yes, we...
0:01:35 > 0:01:39because of the nature of what we do, we could play any night of the week.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43We just go to the nearest pub to celebrate our win or loss
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and half the time, a lot of the times we're probably halfway through
0:01:46 > 0:01:50a quiz and we've found we were doing quite well,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and that's where the idea sprung from. Let's put a team into Eggheads!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56OK, it wasn't because you got hit in the back of the head with a shuttlecock,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- or something like that? - Not just lately, no.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03All right, well, you're coming in at the very beginning of this quiz.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You're going to pay the whole game and try and beat the Eggheads. Every day there is £1,000
0:02:06 > 0:02:10worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers, however, if they fail to
0:02:10 > 0:02:12defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, Featherheads, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Let's see what our first head-to-head is,
0:02:21 > 0:02:22it's Film and Television.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24This is your first chance, of course,
0:02:24 > 0:02:25to try and get an Egghead
0:02:25 > 0:02:27knocked out of the game.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who wants to play?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I think that's you, Barry!- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah. I'll go for that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Straight in with you, Barry. OK, and which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Interesting choice. I think I shall take on Chris, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Yes, indeed.- Why not?- OK, the two players closest to me, then.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48It's Chris and Barry playing the opening round from the Question Room, please.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51OK, Barry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, we had a nice chat about badminton, let's get on with Film and Television.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, good luck, Barry. Here you go.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06The TV comedy Extras was written by which duo?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Erm... Well, to my knowledge, I don't think Dawn French
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and Miranda Hart have ever done anything together.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I could be wrong.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are normally doing the films,
0:03:23 > 0:03:24like Shaun of the Dead.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28But I'm pretty sure it's Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as writers of the Extras,
0:03:32 > 0:03:33correct. Good start.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well done, Barry. Chris.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Maggie Smith, Lily Tomlin
0:03:40 > 0:03:45and Cher star in the 1999 film, Tea With whom?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well, that was set in pre-war Italy, and it's
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Tea With Mussolini.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Tea With Mussolini is the right answer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK, both off to a flying start. Barry.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Which of these films features Cybill Shepherd as Betsy?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Erm... Hmm.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I'm pretty sure it's not Easy Rider.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I don't remember Cybill Shepherd being in that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Taxi Driver was a Robert De Niro film.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Midnight Express, what was that...?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'm not too sure, actually.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I'll go for Taxi Driver.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Taxi Driver, after a bit of thought, you've got it. Well done, Barry.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33You have two.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Chris. Who is the host of That Puppet Game Show, first seen in August 2013?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Yes, rather appropriate name, it's Dougie Colon.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK, yeah. That's the right answer. You got it.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And third question, then, Barry.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The film, In Which We Serve,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01written by Noel Coward, was produced in which year?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's a film I've heard of
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but I can't particularly place.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14In Which We Serve has military connotations.
0:05:16 > 0:05:181942 was in the middle of the war, but...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21'52 is post-war, when...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25..erm... you wouldn't really want to
0:05:25 > 0:05:27talk about war, possibly.
0:05:28 > 0:05:321962 isn't ringing a bell at all. I think I'll have to go for 1942.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- OK, '42, during the war itself. - Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36And you're right.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's the right answer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41OK, Chris.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Who played Admiral Nelson,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46the commander of the nuclear submarine, Seaview, in the 1960s
0:05:46 > 0:05:50television series, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That was Richard Basehart.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes, it was. Richard Basehart. It's all square.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03First round and Sudden Death, straight off.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So, Barry, just to remind you, I know you know it,
0:06:06 > 0:06:11we remove those options after three questions to try to sort out a winner.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Here's your question.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Which 1986 film stars River Phoenix as Chris Chambers,
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Corey Feldman as Teddy Duchamp and Wil Wheaton as Gordie Lachance?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Oh... it's a Stephen King erm, novel.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, it's erm...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Do they find a body on a railway line?
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Erm, no, I can't think of anything that I know, it isn't right. Erm...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- So I can't really hazard a guess, it's just not coming. - So is that a pass, then?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Yes, it's got to be, I'm sorry.- OK. - Sorry, team!- Anyone know?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Stand By Me.- Stand By Me, Chris knew it, wasn't his question. OK.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Chris, this is your question.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Vivean Gray, who was Mrs Mangel in Neighbours, played a character
0:06:55 > 0:07:00called Ida Jessup in the 1970s in which Australian TV drama series?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ida Jessup was in The Sullivans.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07She was, it's the right answer. You know your Aussie soaps.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10The Sullivans is the correct answer, which means, just,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12through Sudden Death, you are in the final round.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We can see how good a player Barry was, there,
0:07:15 > 0:07:20but the name escaped him, of Stand By Me, in Sudden Death, means you won't be the final round.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26First blood to the Eggheads.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from
0:07:29 > 0:07:31the final rounds. So, to our next head-to-head.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34This is Science. Who'd like to play this from The Featherheads?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- We've got that one worked out as well, haven't we?- Yeah. - I'll do that one.- OK.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Right, Dave, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Who do you think? Hmm?- Dave.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Battle of the Daves, I think.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47All right, just to make it easier for me, then.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51OK, let's have Featherhead Dave and Egghead Dave into the Question Room, please.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53So, Featherhead Dave,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57would you like to go first or second in this Science round?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58First, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04And best of luck, Dave. Here you go.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07What name is given to a tapering structure formed of calcium salts
0:08:07 > 0:08:11that hangs like an icicle from the roof of a cave?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I think I remember this one from chemistry.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22My teacher used to say," to tell the difference between a stalactite
0:08:22 > 0:08:26"and a stalagmite, tights come down," so erm,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I think I'm going to go for stalactite.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29OK, stalactite.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's the right answer, of course, yes, good start.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Egghead Dave.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36An artificial version of which food was
0:08:36 > 0:08:41created in a laboratory at a cost of over 300,000
0:08:41 > 0:08:46and was served for the first time in London in August 2013?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I don't think it's a chicken drumstick.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I don't think it's a smoked salmon.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I think it's a very, very expensive beef burger.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I probably wouldn't even pay a fiver for it.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I think you're about right, 300 grand sounds a lot.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Beef burger is the right answer, well done, Dave.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Back to Challenger Dave.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12The foxglove plant belongs to which genus?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20This is a difficult one. I don't know much about flowers.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22But I've got a feeling
0:09:22 > 0:09:24that it's Digitalis.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So, I'm going to go with my feeling.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28OK, the feeling for Digitalis.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It's the right answer. Yes, good feeling.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Egghead Dave, in a human body in a standing position,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38which of these bones is located highest?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45If you're standing up, aye, cos...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50yeah, I think the humerus is the funny bone.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54The upper arm, so...
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Yeah, I'll go humerus.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yeah, just being very careful and getting the right answer,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00yes, you're up on your anatomy, there.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So, it's all square at two all.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05And Featherhead Dave.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08A dugong is related to which of these creatures?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Again, there's something in the back of my mind, here, I think...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18the rhea are a kind of a bird.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20An iguana is a kind of a lizard.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I've got a pretty strong feeling that a dugong is a kind of a manatee.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- So, manatee.- Manatee.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Your feelings are working very well for you there,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33it's the right answer, again.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Three - two.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So, Egghead Dave, what type of gemstone is the Patricia,
0:10:40 > 0:10:45a 632 carat specimen found in Colombia in 1920
0:10:45 > 0:10:50and now on display at the American Museum of Natural History?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I haven't got a clue.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Erm...
0:11:01 > 0:11:02I'm going to go Emerald.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's the right answer, it's Sudden Death.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09OK, Featherhead Dave.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The name of which are astronomical body was
0:11:11 > 0:11:15suggested by 11-year-old Venetia Burney from Oxford,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18whose great-uncle had suggested the name of the
0:11:18 > 0:11:22two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Well...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's likely to be a moon,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29of one of the planets,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I think.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Although I think individual asteroids are sometimes given names, as well.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I have almost no clue at all,
0:11:40 > 0:11:45so I'm just going to say a random name, like, erm...
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Fido.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Fido?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Which, bizarrely, is not too far off.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56If we think through our Disney cartoons,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- it's not Fido, do you know? - Well, when you said Disney cartoons
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and I wouldn't have had a clue, but Pluto?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- It's Pluto.- Unbelievable.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Pluto.- A planet.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09A planet, yes. It was the astronomical body.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12OK, Dave from the Eggheads.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17The TV presenter, Emma Freud, is the great-granddaughter of which psychoanalyst?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I was about to say something else, there, and be very embarrassing.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23But erm,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I've got to go Sigmund Freud.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29OK, Sigmund Freud is correct, Dave.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30You've just made it into the final round
0:12:30 > 0:12:32on Sudden Death, again, to sort out a winner.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36but, again, the Egghead has just squeezed through. Bad luck, Dave from the Featherheads,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38you won't be playing in the final round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I don't think the luck's gone the Featherheads' way, so far.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47They've lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Let's change that, shall we? See if you can knock an Egghead out on this category,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52our third-round, it's Music.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Who'd like to play this from the Featherheads?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We've got a -- That's me, is it? - That Simon.- Yeah, go for it, Simon.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02OK, Simon, and who from the Eggheads would you like to play? Chris and Dave have played,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05so you can have Kevin, Pat, or Judith.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Erm, I think I'll take Judith, please, Dermot.- All right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It's Simon and Judith, then, playing this one.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14And could I ask you both, please, to go to the Question Room to make sure you can't confer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19So, Simon, I know you've got a huge music collection,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23but what does it contain? Is it fairly comprehensive?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Erm, it's mainly '70s, Dermot.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29That's my main interest, obviously, growing up in the '70s, that's the period
0:13:29 > 0:13:31that I'm interested in with music.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I've basically travelled the highways and byways of the Midlands,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38seeking out charity shops and car boot sales
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and then I have to try and sneak the records back into the house
0:13:40 > 0:13:43so that my partner, Delia, doesn't find them.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47OK. Right, well, let's play the round, then and hopefully
0:13:47 > 0:13:50some of that knowledge will stand you in good stead.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Do you want to go first or second, Simon?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Here you are. Members of which of these groups
0:14:00 > 0:14:02sang on the 1984 UK number one
0:14:02 > 0:14:05single, Do They Know It's Christmas?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Well, that single was the British version,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13so I'll rule Blondie out straightaway.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Erm...
0:14:15 > 0:14:19From the other two, I'm pretty sure that it was Bananarama.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Bananarama, it is. Yes, of course. OK.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27And Judith, which composer's famous fifth symphony begins with
0:14:27 > 0:14:30four notes that are often described as da-da-da-da?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I think that's Beethoven.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yes, it is. Well off the mark, both of you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Simon, in 1970,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42The Jimi Hendrix Experience had
0:14:42 > 0:14:44a UK number one single with which song?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Fortunately, that's the period that I'm interested in,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Get It On was T Rex and Son Of My Father was Chicory Tip,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58leaving Voodoo Chile for Jimi Hendrix.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Voodoo Chile, Jimi Hendrix, yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02That was...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04..just the question you wanted, OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Judith, Greaseball,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Electra and Flat-Top are characters in which musical?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, definitely not Mamma Mia!
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And I don't think Wicked, because Wicked is about
0:15:17 > 0:15:19the witches, isn't it?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20So, Starlight Express.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Starlet Express, yes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25You got it, too. Everyone is quizzing so well today.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Fantastic answers from both teams, we'd kind of expect it from the Eggheads,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34but every now and again they get a few questions wrong in the opening exchanges.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37All right, Simon, third question.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Scott Joplin's rag, The Strenuous Life,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42was inspired by which historical figure?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Not my field of excellence, this one. Erm...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55They're all American figures,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57no clues there.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Erm...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I think I'll just take a plump and do a Judith
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and go down the right and go for Thomas Edison.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Thomas Edison for a Strenuous Life.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, they all worked very hard.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12It's not Thomas Edison, Judith?
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Is it Henry Ford?- No, so I won't ask the other Eggheads, then.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18It's Theodore Roosevelt.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20All right, well...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23A chance for Judith to take the round.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Judith, what was the title of Kylie Minogue's second album?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Oh, goodness. Erm...
0:16:33 > 0:16:34I think it's Be Yourself.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Erm, Kylie Minogue's second album...
0:16:38 > 0:16:39..it's not!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43No, we are going to Sudden Death, let's just clear this one up.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Do you know, Simon, or is it out of your...
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Again, it's too late for me, Dermot.- Yeah, too late. Eggheads?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Enjoy Yourself? - Enjoy Yourself. Enjoy Yourself.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Hope you're still enjoying yourselves in the Question Room.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57But Sudden Death, again.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Every round so far.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Simon, in 2012, which singer
0:17:02 > 0:17:06had her second UK number one single with Domino?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I know my daughter will be shouting this answer out!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Erm, I'll, Emeli Sande, I don't know.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17OK, Emeli Sande.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20No, it's not though, Judith, any idea?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Jessie J?- It is Jessie J.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Jessie J. But not
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Judith's question. This is yours, Judith.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Which Spice Girl had a UK number one single in the year 2000
0:17:33 > 0:17:36with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and the song,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Never Be The Same Again?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Oh, gosh. Erm, Emma Bunton.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45One of five, but no. Not Emma Bunton.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Other Eggheads?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Mel C.- Mel C. Melanie C.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, right, well, on we go.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Simon, Spring, Spring, Spring
0:17:54 > 0:17:59and June Bride are songs from which film musical?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Again, not one that I know, I'll have a guess at the one that's got
0:18:04 > 0:18:07brides in the title and go, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Is the right answer. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Judith. Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar
0:18:16 > 0:18:19are tracks on which 1975 Pink Floyd album?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Welcome To The Machine
0:18:21 > 0:18:26and Have A Cigar are tracks on which 1975 Pink Floyd album?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27I have no idea.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30- Is that a pass?- Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK, right, just, no point there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Well, I bet Simon will know.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It's Wish You Were Here.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Wish You Were Here is the right answer, so you're definitely
0:18:39 > 0:18:42going through to the final round, we're not passing it over.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And very honest of Judith, there, not to mess around,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48just didn't have a clue about Pink Floyd albums.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50That means you won't be in the final round Judith,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53you're going to be there Simon, you've won through.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Well, it just got better for The Featherheads, they've knocked one Egghead,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02now, out of the final round, they have lost two brains themselves.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03So, will it be all square?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Round four, last head-to-head, is Arts and Books.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08So, who'd like to play this, we've got Phil or Wayne?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Not ideal, is it?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13It's not ideal for me, but I'm going to take the hit for the team and that will be me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16All right, Phil. And erm, you can play Kevin or Pat?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- You can take whichever one you fancy.- Erm.- Take the easy one.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I'll take the easy one and I'll take Kevin, please.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah, cos he's a pushover, isn't he?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Let's have Phil and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Well, Phil, with your tongue very firmly planted in your cheek,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35there, said you were taking on the easier Egghead.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I'm sure you'll give it a good go, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, I think I'll put the pressure on and I'll go second, please.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Yeah, let Kevin slip-up first, shall we? OK, Kevin.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51In Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance Of Being Earnest,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54what is the name of Gwendolen Fairfax's mother?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59In Oscar Wilde's play The Importance Of Being Earnest,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03what is the name of Gwendolen Fairfax's mother?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I'll let somebody else do the handbag impersonation,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07it's Lady Bracknell.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Chris?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11A handbag!?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13He's pretty good, isn't he?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It is Lady Bracknell, of course. It is the right answer.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18And erm,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Kevin can't hear, but he knows Chris did that proud.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, Phil, here's your first question, then.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Who wrote the bestselling 2012 thriller, Gone Girl?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Who wrote the bestselling 2012 thriller, Gone Girl?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I have to admit, erm,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41as I said, not very good on books,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I really don't have an idea.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Erm...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, I'm going to go straight down the middle
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- and go with Kate Atkinson. - OK, Kate Atkinson for Gone Girl.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Sorry, Phil, no.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Do you know of the other two, Kevin?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- It's Gillian Flynn. - It is Gillian Flynn.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01OK, Kevin.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Your second question.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Which artist designed the 2013 Brit Awards statue?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Which artist designed the 2013 Brit Awards statue?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm not sure on this, but I think it's most likely to be
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Damien Hirst, so I'll say Damien Hirst.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Is that just a hunch?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I think, possibly, I read it somewhere.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It is Damien Hirst.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Oh, you've got a big lead, now,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30so we'll have to get you in the game, here, Phil.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36Which novel by Henry James features a divorced couple called Beale and Ida Farange
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and their irresponsible relationship with their daughter?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Which novel by Henry James
0:21:46 > 0:21:50features a divorced couple called Beale and Ida Farange
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and their irresponsible relationship with their daughter?
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Well, again, erm, I don't really have an idea on this one,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And I'll try the lucky right, myself, this time
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and it's What Monica Drew - Knew, sorry.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12OK, What Monica Knew, for
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Henry James's novel featuring
0:22:14 > 0:22:18that divorced couple and their daughter. Erm...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21it's not, it is What Maisie Knew,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22What Maisie Knew,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25really bad luck there, Phil, with... you said you didn't like
0:22:25 > 0:22:28the book-side of this category and you got two questions
0:22:28 > 0:22:30about novels, there,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33but it means we draw a close to the round, already.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Bad luck, Phil, you won't be in the final round.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Kevin will be there, would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42And this is what we've been playing towards,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46But, I'm afraid, those of you
0:22:46 > 0:22:48who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:48 > 0:22:50won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53So, Barry, Dave and Phil from The Featherheads
0:22:53 > 0:22:55and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57would you leave the studio, now, please?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03So then, Simon and Wayne, you are playing to win The Featherheads £2,000.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Chris, Pat, Dave and Kevin, you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10it is your very reputation.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16this time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So, Featherheads, the question is,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25And Simon and Wayne, would you like to go first or second in this round?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Erm, I think we'll put the pressure on and go first.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35OK, good luck, guys. Here is your first question, then.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39The Indian state of Goa has a coastline on which body of water?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48The Indian state of Goa has a coastline on which body of water?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- You've been there for your holidays.- I've been there on
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- a cruise ship.- That was lucky, then. Can you remember where it was?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think it was the Arabian Sea.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Arabian Sea.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Arabian Sea, OK, you've been to Goa, but not there for very long,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- it was, what, a brief stopover on a cruise?- One day.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well, you knew you were sailing on the Arabian Sea,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10it is the right answer, well done.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13And, Eggheads, which of these was
0:24:13 > 0:24:16a nickname for Bonnie Prince Charlie, or Charles Edward Stuart?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Which of these was a nickname for Bonnie Prince Charlie,
0:24:23 > 0:24:24or Charles Edward Stuart?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- The Young Pretender.- The Young Pretender?- Yeah. Young Pretender.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30He was The Young Pretender.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33The Young Pretender is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34One all.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Featherheads, in grammar, the phrase,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41"We will have beaten them by the end of this game"
0:24:41 > 0:24:44is an example of what type of tense?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51In grammar, the phrase,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54"We will have beaten them by the end of this game"
0:24:54 > 0:24:57is an example of what type of tense?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00"We will have beaten them by the end of this game."
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Do you know?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I did Latin at school and this sort of thing cropped up
0:25:07 > 0:25:10but that was a long time ago.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I don't think it's present perfect...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15No, I think we'll get rid of that one.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16It's...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21which one do you fancy out of past or future?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Past continuous, I think.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Do you think?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We'll go for it. Decision made.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Well then, we'll go for...
0:25:33 > 0:25:37We're 50-50 on past continuous or future perfect,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40we'll go for past continuous.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41OK, past continuous,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44"for we will have beaten them by the end of this game",
0:25:44 > 0:25:48rather appropriate, given the game we're playing.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's not, I'm sorry, it's not past continuous.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Eggheads?- Future perfect.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It is future perfect, of your 50-50, it is the other one,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59it's future perfect, not past continuous.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Let's see what the Eggheads do with their second question.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Eggheads, the mountain, Slieve Donard, is located in which part of Ireland?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13The mountain, Slieve Donard, is located in which part of Ireland?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- The highest in the Mourne Mountains?- County Down, yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I think it's the highest peak in the Mourne Mountains
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and it's in County Down.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- County Down?- County Down.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Is the correct answer, Eggheads, yes, you've got it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32It means serious business, here.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34It means you've got to get this, Featherheads.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37How many appearances did Gary Lineker make for
0:26:37 > 0:26:41the England football team between 1984 and 1992?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47How many appearances did Gary Lineker make for
0:26:47 > 0:26:51the England football team between 1984 and 1992?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I know he scored 48 goals.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Yeah.- Erm...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57It could be any of them, couldn't it?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yeah. So, if he scored a goal every other game...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04That would be 98.
0:27:04 > 0:27:0796 sounds a bit close to 100.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12I think he might have just tried to carry on, if he was that close.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I think 80 is too few for 48 goals.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- So, my guess would be 88. But I don't know.- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I'd say it could be any of them, I think, but, go on, we'll try it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Yeah, we're not really sure...
0:27:26 > 0:27:29We'll go straight down the middle, 88.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK, straight down the middle, like he did with some of his penalties.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36And as you knew there, prolific scorer for club and country.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40but a prolific scorer for England.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And I wonder if that's led you astray a bit,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45because, an incredible strike rate,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47the answer is 80.
0:27:47 > 0:27:5080 caps for England, which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Bad luck. Maybe it would have been better if you hadn't known how many goals Gary Lineker...- Yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03..had scored for England. It's been a great quiz,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today. You can see how even it's been
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and how many Sudden Deaths. All of you, I can tell, are really good quizzers.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Maybe take them on at badminton... - Definitely.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15..to even it up, next time, for the money. But thank you very much
0:28:15 > 0:28:19for playing the Eggheads, but they've done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22they still reign supreme again over quiz land, I'm afraid.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26You won't be going home with the £2,000 and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28So, join us next time to see
