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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today are
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Sure And Stedfast.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team are all associated with the Boys Brigade organisation
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and are based in various companies around Scotland.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Alan, I'm 42, and I'm a care worker.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Brian, I'm 62, and I'm a church officer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Stuart, I'm 19,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and I'm an electronic and electrical engineering student.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Donald, I'm 53, and I'm a banker.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm John, I'm 21, and I'm a maths student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Sure And Stedfast.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That's part of the Boys Brigade motto, is it?
0:01:07 > 0:01:08It is, yes, it's from the Bible,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11it's a quote from the Bible - "sure and stedfast".
0:01:11 > 0:01:14OK, well, I hope you're sure and steadfast in your quizzing.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Have you done any quizzing together before?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Not as a team, but we're hoping... raring to go today.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21How did you assemble all the team?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We're just gathered, as I say, from various Boys Brigade companies
0:01:24 > 0:01:28in and around Glasgow mostly, and just here for this event.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29So have you met before?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Well, Donald and John know each other as father and son, but, erm...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, they would have met before, I would have guessed!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36But the rest of us, we're just, we see...
0:01:36 > 0:01:39BB events, various places around Scotland.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42OK, well, let's play the quiz, and good luck to you, Sure And Stedfast.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:45 > 0:01:46for our Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Sure And Stedfast, the Eggheads have won the last two games which means
0:01:54 > 0:01:58£3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And our first head-to-head is going to be on the subject of history.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Who'd like to play this?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Don't think that's...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I think Brian, you're the man, I think, for that.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I'll have a go at that. - All right, Brian.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And which Egghead would you like to have a go at, so to speak?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Er, Dave, I think, yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19OK, it's going to be Brian and Dave playing our opening round.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's history, and could you both go to the Question Room, please?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK, then, Brian, let's put your historical knowledge to the test.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Er, I'll go first, Dermot, thank you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38OK, first question coming right up for you, Brian, here you go.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Which of these is a type of headwear,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43usually with a frilled edge,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45that became popular with women in the 18th century?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's not rabble cap or pack cap.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55It's a mob cap.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It is mob cap. Good answer, and you're off the mark.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Dave, what general name was given to the trading ships
0:03:03 > 0:03:05operated by the East India Company?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I don't know. Not heard this at all. Erm...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, the one that sounds the best to me is East Indiamen,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21but I'll go for that, but I don't know the answer.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23You do now, that's correct.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27OK, Brian, in the 17th century, a group of which people were
0:03:27 > 0:03:29known as "the Valiant 60?"
0:03:34 > 0:03:39I've never heard of this phrase before. Erm...
0:03:39 > 0:03:43I would tend to rule out Witchfinders.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Erm, it sounds like...
0:03:46 > 0:03:49..something that would be Quaker missionaries,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- so I'll take that as an answer.- OK, missionaries, Quaker missionaries.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It's the right answer, Brian, well done. Two to you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03So, Dave, in what year did Alcatraz open as a federal penitentiary?
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Mm. I know when it closed, 1963, don't know when it opened.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It's going to have to be a guess.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Erm...
0:04:18 > 0:04:201934.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21OK.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24It's the right answer, Dave, well done, good guess.
0:04:24 > 0:04:271934, well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's all square, you're going well, of course, Brian,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and your third question.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Arlington House, now run by the US National Park Service,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38is the former home of which Civil War officer?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Well, I know the answer to this, er,
0:04:45 > 0:04:50I was on holiday in Washington DC and we went to Arlington, Virginia,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54and Robert E Lee's house is part of Arlington.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- So you visited it?- Yes.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Great stuff, Robert E Lee, as you well know, is the right answer.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Will it get you through into the final round? Puts you in the lead.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, Dave, the ancient town of Lavinium near Rome was,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12according to tradition, named after the wife of which hero?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Out of those I would go Aeneas, but it's again a guess.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I've not heard of this at all.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, you've got the right answer again!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- You're doing well on the ones you haven't heard of.- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30It's all square, so we're going to take it to Sudden Death, Brian,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and remove the choices you've had to look at
0:05:33 > 0:05:35in the first three questions.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So your fourth question.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41The History Of The World was a book started by which historical figure
0:05:41 > 0:05:44during his imprisonment in the Tower of London
0:05:44 > 0:05:48from 1603 to 1616?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52At a guess, trying to think of the ones who would be in the Tower
0:05:52 > 0:05:54round about that time.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Erm, it is simply a guess.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Erm, Sir Walter Raleigh?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- It's the right answer, well done! - Well done, man!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And I guess some pretty extensive knowledge of the world as well
0:06:05 > 0:06:07from his travels.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Over to Dave. Which British Prime Minister was quoted as saying that
0:06:10 > 0:06:12"If William Gladstone were to fall into the Thames
0:06:12 > 0:06:14"it would be a misfortune -
0:06:14 > 0:06:17"but if anyone pulled him out it would be a calamity?"
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I would go Benjamin Disraeli.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Benjamin Disraeli is correct.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27On we go. Great quizzing here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Brian, in 1932, which American aviator became the first woman
0:06:32 > 0:06:37to receive the US Distinguished Flying Cross?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Er, was it Amy Johnson?
0:06:40 > 0:06:41No. Dave?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Amelia Earhart.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yep, but not your question,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47so a chance to get through here, Dave.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Who resigned as the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony
0:06:50 > 0:06:56after the badly planned 1895 Jameson Raid on the Transvaal?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I don't know this at all but I'll have a guess.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Jan Smuts.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02No, other Eggheads?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Cecil Rhodes.- Cecil Rhodes. - Oh, right, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09OK, Brian, in Winston Churchill's celebrated speech
0:07:09 > 0:07:11at Fulton, Missouri in 1946,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15he declared that "an iron curtain" had descended across Europe
0:07:15 > 0:07:20from which port in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Erm, my geography's not that great.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Erm...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I would say the Suez?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- No. Dave, do you know? - I don't know, Kiel?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- I've not... No.- No. Other Eggheads?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- Stettin.- Gdansk.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Stettin from Kevin. Stettin,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38or Stett-een, now in Poland. Bad luck, Brian.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And, er, Dave, in Russian history,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44in which year did Vladimir Lenin die?
0:07:44 > 0:07:471924.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Is the right answer. 1924 is the correct answer.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, bad luck, Brian, I could tell how good you were there.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57No place in the final round.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Great effort there, Brian, but bad luck in the end.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It means Sure And Stedfast have lost one brain from the final round,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Our next subject is Geography.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- So, who'd like to play this from Sure And Stedfast?- Me?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Yeah, Stuart, you're our boy for geography.- Yeah, good man.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20OK, Stuart, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Who do you think? Any preference or...?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I think they're all fairly clever, to be honest.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26They're all pretty good.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Think I'll...- Chris.- Chris, maybe? - Chris, yeah, I'll take Chris.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, Stuart and Chris playing the geography round.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You know where to go.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's the Question Room, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41So, Stuart, choose for me. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think I'd like to go first, Dermot, please.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Good luck, Stuart.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Geography. Your first question.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The Reeperbahn is a famous street in which European city?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It sounds like... It couldn't...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I don't think it's French so it won't be Bordeaux.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It could be Swedish but it sounds more German to me.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I think I'll go for Hamburg.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Hamburg is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Chris, Lake Nakuru in Kenya is
0:09:15 > 0:09:18renowned for its abundance of which birds?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Well, you wouldn't find an abundance of golden eagles anywhere,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and toucans live in the South American rainforest,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28so it's got to be flamingos.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29All right, yes, it is.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Just dismembered that question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34All right. Stuart,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35your second question.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The Erskine Bridge, opened in 1971,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41crosses which body of water?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, you might say this is cheating because I'm from Scotland,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51so it's not Loch Alsh, it's not the Firth of Forth,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53it's definitely the River Clyde.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Presumably you've been across it many times.- Yep, plenty of times.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Well, that's the way they fall. It is the correct answer, well done.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Chris, the world's largest national park
0:10:07 > 0:10:10at over 900,000 square kilometres,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11is on which island?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Unlikely to be Greenland
0:10:16 > 0:10:20since there's nothing up there to make a national park out of,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21but, there again,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24is it a Site of Special Scientific Interest or something?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Er...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Borneo, I don't think so...
0:10:30 > 0:10:34..because there's so much unique wildlife there that presumably
0:10:34 > 0:10:37would be protected in a national park, I'll go with Madagascar.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, Madagascar. Plenty of reasoning to be done there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Dave, it's...?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Greenland.- It is Greenland.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Really?- The one you ruled out first.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, well, that's great news for Sure And Stedfast,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50in particular you, Stuart.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53You go through if you give me a correct answer here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Which city in Florida is nicknamed "the City Beautiful"?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Not really my area of expertise, I've never visited the US.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07The City Beautiful.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I don't think it would be Orlando - far too many theme parks.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Between the other two, I would have to go for Key West because I think
0:11:15 > 0:11:19the Florida Keys would probably be the most beautiful out of the three.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Key West.- OK, Key West for the City Beautiful.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I'm afraid it's not, and, er, you repeated Chris's
0:11:27 > 0:11:30mistake of his question, you ruled out the right answer first off.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31It's Orlando.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33So, a chance for Chris to get back in it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:40Chris, the Indian city founded by and named after Shah Jahan in 1639
0:11:40 > 0:11:42is now known by what name?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Ah, yes, the, er...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's the Pink City, isn't it? It's Jodhpur.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- No, it's not.- Isn't it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Other Eggheads? - Delhi.- The Old Delhi.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's Old Delhi.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Ah, well, the Erskine Bridge got you across in the end.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Yeah, as it always does. - There you are.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03You're playing in the final round, Stuart, well done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Would you both come back and join your teams, please?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Well, that's evened things up.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Both teams have now lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Round Three coming up now is Music,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17so who'd like to play this from Sure And Stedfast?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Who have we got? Alan, Donald or John.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Yeah, I think I'd like to do that one, Dermot.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23All right, Alan, and from the Eggheads,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Dave and Chris have played, so you can have
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Kevin, Pat or Judith. - What d'you think?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- I'm not sure.- Totally up to you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Och, I would like to play Judith, then, please.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35All right, Alan and Judith, into the Question Room, please.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Well, let's see if you can follow Stuart into the final round, Alan.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I think I'll go first as well, Dermot.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49OK, first question.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Hodges and Peacock are the surnames of which musical duo?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Well, Sonny & Cher, that's Sonny Bono, isn't it, er,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02and it was Robson Green and Jerome Flynn,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05so by a process of elimination it must be Chas & Dave.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yes, it is, well done.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Imagine if they'd gone by their surnames,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hodges & Peacock.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Judith, the 2011 debut single by Christina Perri was called
0:13:17 > 0:13:19"Jar of..." what?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm afraid I don't know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Erm, I don't think it would be a great selling point to call it
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Jar of Depression, erm, so,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Jar of Thoughts, Jar of Hearts.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I think it might be Jar of Hearts.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Yes, it is Jar of Hearts, well done, well worked out.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Alan, in 2013,
0:13:40 > 0:13:45a BBC poll voted music from which movie as the best film soundtrack?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Hmm, tricky one. I don't know the answer
0:13:51 > 0:13:53but, er, Psycho, I think that was, er,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Herrmann's score, the famous score in the shower room.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Godfather has a famous Godfather Theme,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Star Wars, famous theme.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Suppose if it's a poll, maybe the biggest one there would be Star Wars,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06so I'll maybe go for Star Wars.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Yeah, it is the right answer. Do you agree with it?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, you can certainly hum along to that one, can't you,
0:14:11 > 0:14:12the old trumpets going.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I'd go for The Godfather myself
0:14:14 > 0:14:17but there we are, you got the right answer, Star Wars.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21OK, Judith. The Soldiers' Chorus comes from which opera,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23first performed in 1859?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I don't know. I've never heard of Louise.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I think it might be Carmen.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42But I have a feeling that might be too early for Carmen.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Anyway, I've said it.- OK, Carmen...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's not. D'you know, other Eggheads?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Faust.- It's Faust.- It's Faust, oh.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And when was Carmen?
0:14:52 > 0:14:531875, so it's, yeah...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Carmen's 1875, the other Eggheads are saying.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I had a feeling it was too early.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK, well, not too early for Alan, you getting one wrong.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03That means you go through to the final round if you give me
0:15:03 > 0:15:05a correct answer here, Alan.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Which Rodgers & Hammerstein musical is based on a novel by
0:15:08 > 0:15:12the Chinese-American author CY Lee?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Righty-ho, well, of course, Anna and the King of Siam, that sounds like
0:15:20 > 0:15:23it should be the obvious one, erm, but did she write the book?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Did Anna write the book that it was based on?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Oh, gosh, erm...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And I'm a fan of musicals as well, but I'm struggling here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I don't think it's State Fair,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36that's a sort of more of an American-set thing, isn't it?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Flower Drum Song, I don't really know that one.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Oh, gosh, well, I think I'm just going to go for The King and I,
0:15:42 > 0:15:43and hope for the best.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46OK, The King and I.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's not. Judith?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well, if it's Chinese, it must be Flower Drum Song.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Flower Drum Song, yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And, er, your third question to get back in it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Judith, the Australian Barry Tuckwell is a virtuoso
0:15:59 > 0:16:01on which instrument?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think it's either French horn or oboe.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Erm...
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I think it's oboe.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Bad luck, Judith, it's French horn.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, God, it's always like that!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Oh, dear, erm, which means once again, well,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25same pattern as Stuart there, Alan.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Didn't get your third question right
0:16:27 > 0:16:29but made it into the final round anyway.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- Well done.- Thank you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39What a comeback. Sure And Stedfast have now knocked two Eggheads out,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and one member of your team is out of the final round as well.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46So, our last head-to-head before the final round is film and television.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- So it's Donald or John to play. Film & TV.- Think it'll be Donald?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Yeah, go for it, Donald? - Yeah, OK.- Your category.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Stay with us, Donald. Remember you need to choose an Egghead,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and you can choose from Kevin or Pat.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- Oh, what a choice!- Go for Kevin, he's your double.- Kevin.- Yeah.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04OK, Kevin, please.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09OK, let's have Donald and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Donald, I know you're from Scotland, but have you got any relatives
0:17:14 > 0:17:16in the south of England near Winchester?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Not that I'm aware of, no.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Have you been watching Eggheads for a long time?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Off and on, yes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27D'you model yourself on any particular Egghead?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Are you hinting at something, Dermot?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm just going, "Tzz-tzz-tzz!"
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Separated at birth!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36If you two weren't wearing different shirts,
0:17:36 > 0:17:37I wouldn't know who to ask a question to!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Goodness me! Right, Donald, it's Film & Television.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I think there's a consistent pattern there, I think I'd better go first.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, good luck, Donald. Here's your first question.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Artem Chigvintsev and Pasha Kovalev found fame appearing
0:17:56 > 0:17:58regularly on which UK TV show?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Don't think they sound as if they're from EastEnders, and I'm pretty
0:18:06 > 0:18:11sure they're not Geordie names, so I'll go for Strictly Come Dancing.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Exactly, it's the right answer, well done, good start.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Kevin, "If it weren't for those meddling kids..."
0:18:19 > 0:18:21is a phrase associated with which dog?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Well, Toto was Dorothy's dog in The Wizard of Oz, I don't recall
0:18:28 > 0:18:30any great lines from him.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Er, I think this must be Scooby-Doo.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Yeah. It's obviously not Scooby-Doo saying them, though, is it?- No.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39No, no, it's the villains.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yeah, it's the villains as they cart them off at the end,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45as they rip their masks off and find it was always the caretaker
0:18:45 > 0:18:48in the first place, who says, "If it weren't for those meddling kids..."
0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK, Donald... I really am getting confused here!
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I swear. I'd turn around and think, "No, OK, right, got you."
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Right. It's Donald.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Which of the four Baldwin brothers did not appear in the film
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Born On The Fourth Of July?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's not a film that I'm familiar with
0:19:08 > 0:19:12so this is going to have to be a guess.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17And of those three names there, I think Daniel is probably the least
0:19:17 > 0:19:20well-known so I'll go for Daniel.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK, Daniel Baldwin you think did not appear in
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Born On The Fourth Of July.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Kevin, are you more familiar with it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- It's Tom Cruise, isn't it? - Yeah. I don't know.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I don't recall Alec being in it but I may be wrong there.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Yeah, it is Alec that's missing from Born On The Fourth Of July.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Alec, not Daniel, so a chance for Kevin to go into the lead. Kevin,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45which actress has played Denise Osbourne in Coronation Street
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and Joanie Wright in Emmerdale?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I've got a faint idea there that Denise Black has
0:19:53 > 0:19:55appeared in both series but I may be...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I don't know the character names.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'll go for Denise Black.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Denise Black. You've got it. It's the right answer, Kevin.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07OK, are the Eggheads fighting back?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Donald, I must get an answer here.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Which actor starred in the 1932 film Red Dust
0:20:15 > 0:20:19and its 1953 remake Mogambo?
0:20:22 > 0:20:28It's a bit before my time but I think if 1932 was the first film...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33..the most obvious choice to me would be Spencer Tracy.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35All right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:42Spencer Tracy for Red Dust and 21 years later the remake Mogambo.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Kevin, Spencer Tracy, is it? - No, it's Clark Gable.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50It's Clark Gable which means that Kevin has won the round.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Bad luck, Donald. You won't be in the final round,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's time now for the final round which, as always, is
0:21:01 > 0:21:04General Knowledge but I'm afraid those of you who
0:21:04 > 0:21:07lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10so, Brian and Donald from Sure And Stedfast,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave
0:21:13 > 0:21:14the studio now, please?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, Alan, Stuart and John, you're playing to win
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Sure And Stedfast £3,000.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Pat, David and Kevin, you are playing for something which
0:21:23 > 0:21:25money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28And, as usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:31 > 0:21:32and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So, Sure And Stedfast, the question is,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40And Alan, Stuart and John, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We'll go first again, please.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48OK, first set of questions for Sure And Stedfast. Good luck to you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Here's your first question.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54On what part of the body is a sombrero usually worn?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59On what part of the body is a sombrero usually worn?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01THEY LAUGH
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Go on.- Yeah, I think we'll go for head.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Think you'd be right to, yes, correct answer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Eggheads, the Golden Shears Sheep Shearing Competition,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14first held in 1961, was founded in which country?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The Golden Shears Sheep Shearing Competition,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24first held in 1961, was founded in which country?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Go New Zealand, do you think?- It's got to be New Zealand, hasn't it?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Yeah, yeah. We're going to go for New Zealand.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I'm sure there's a lot of sheep in all those countries.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35A great many sheep in New Zealand.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's the right answer, well done.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, and Sure And Stedfast second question.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Oofy Prosser, Tuppy Glossop and Bingo Little are characters
0:22:44 > 0:22:46created by which writer?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- I'll stand back.- They're all pals
0:22:51 > 0:22:54of Bertie Wooster in the Drones Club. PG Wodehouse.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56PG Wodehouse, I think. I don't know, Alan.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- I trust him.- PG Wodehouse.- OK. PG Wodehouse is the right answer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Alan mentioned the Drones Club as well and Eggheads,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Glossophobia is the fear of what?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Public speaking.- Public speaking. - Public speaking definitely, yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- That's public speaking, Dermot. - Public speaking?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It wouldn't be a good thing to have if you were a spokesman.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22It is the fear of public speaking, yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- And what are the linguistic roots there?- The tongue.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Glossop from the tongue.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Right, well, all your tongues working really well.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32We've right answers all the way so far.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Third question for Sure And Stedfast.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Which Italian resort was scheduled to host the cancelled
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Winter Olympics of 1944?
0:23:44 > 0:23:49One day I tried to see if I could name all the host cities.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I had a look at them and I can't.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I want to say Cortina d'Ampezzo but...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I don't think Turin's very cold, is it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Turin hosted them in 2006,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02so I don't think...then again...and Livigno doesn't even ring a bell.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I don't know if either of you...? - Go for it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- Cortina d'Ampezzo then, let's go for it.- Er, Cortina d'Ampezzo.- OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Cortina d'Ampezzo for the cancelled
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Winter Olympics of 1944, cancelled for obvious reasons.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It is the right answer. Well done. Well, Stuart,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22you said you'd done some homework on Winter Olympic venues.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Yeah, just, I'm quite sad, I think.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I just decided to see if I could name all the host cities and
0:24:29 > 0:24:32see what ones I missed out and that rings a bell as the cancelled one.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Well, it might just win you the money, it might.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Eggheads, third question.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40In which Buckinghamshire town is it traditional to weigh
0:24:40 > 0:24:42the incoming and outgoing mayor?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48High Wycombe definitely, yeah, definitely.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Make sure they haven't filched any of the proceeds of office, yes.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think it was the measure to make sure they weren't leaving with
0:24:54 > 0:24:57more than they arrived with and it's High Wycombe.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59What, so they weren't leaving with the mayoral silver
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- or something like that?- Yes.- OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Presumably started quite a few years ago.- Last year!
0:25:05 > 0:25:07No, no, it's not.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10High Wycombe is the right answer, Eggheads. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12All right, Sure And Stedfast,
0:25:12 > 0:25:17who in 1865 became the first man to climb the Matterhorn?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Who in 1865 became the first man to climb the Matterhorn?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Oh, dear. I don't know many mountaineers in that era. Do you?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Couldn't tell you. - I'd say that's not my thing.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Who was the one that climbed up mountains in their tweeds and stuff.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36Erm...what was his name? Oh, I can't think.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43No, Shackleton was the sea, the ice man down the Antarctic, wasn't he?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Oh, I can... No, I can't think of his name, no.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- I wish I could.- I don't know it. Never heard of that.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Is it Rutherford? No, I don't know. Go for it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- I can't...- Think of a first name?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- John.- John.- John.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- We'll guess at John Rutherford.- OK.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The first man to climb the Matterhorn. John Rutherford.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- It's not the right answer. Eggheads?- Edward Whymper.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Edward Whymper is correct and rather a...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16rather a tragic attempt, though, can you tell me why?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Well, Whymper survived and I think the two guides who were
0:26:19 > 0:26:22father and son survived but all the other members,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25British members of the climbing party, I think
0:26:25 > 0:26:28there were four of them, all died on the climb.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- They fell, the ropes broke, they fell down crevasses.- That's right.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34One member slipped and pulled the three others down.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And the rope actually broke. It was attached to Whymper but it broke
0:26:37 > 0:26:42and, er, saved him. OK, well, Eggheads,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45if you get this right, you've won it. Photo 51,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49one of the keys to understanding the structure of DNA, was taken
0:26:49 > 0:26:54in the laboratory of which female scientist at King's College London?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Photo 51,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59one of the keys to understanding the structure of DNA, was taken
0:26:59 > 0:27:03in the laboratory of which female scientist at King's College London?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Well, I assume this must have been Rosalind Franklin.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I mean, she wasn't the only female scientist involved with this,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10but she's obviously the famous one.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Rosalind Franklin?- Rosalind, yeah. - OK.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17So, I think, erm, I can't... I'm trying to think.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20There was a colleague, a Wilkins, or something?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Yeah, there was another woman who was involved in part of it
0:27:25 > 0:27:29but I think I'd be surprised if this isn't Rosalind Franklin.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- We think that's Rosalind Franklin. - Rosalind Franklin.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's correct. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45We've had a great quiz today and, Sure And Stedfast, well,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49you stayed true to your motto there during the course of this game,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53really stuck with the Eggheads, hung in with them there,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55all square in the final round, some great head-to-heads.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Some really good head-to-heads and some great answers from you in the final round.
