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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Bingley Bright Sparks from Leeds.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team are all associated with Bingley Grammar School
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and regularly meet up to play five aside football together as well.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Neil, I'm 43 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Paul, 29 and I'm a geography teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ben, I'm 26. I'm a behaviour support unit manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 26 and I'm a history teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 23 and I'm a student teacher.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Welcome to you, Bingley Bright Sparks. How bright are you, then?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Very.- Immense. - We are absolutely, we try. Try.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- You're on fire.- Slightly rusty.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- You do do a quiz, don't you?- We do. - I do, I write it every week, yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You write it, so who takes part in it? You write it for the rest of...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The whole school writes it. The whole school do it.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And it's eagerly anticipated, does everyone talk about it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Itching feet all, all day.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- When that e-mail comes through, it's beautiful.- I make people's day.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33THEY LAUGH
0:01:33 > 0:01:35How long have you spent putting it together?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36How much research do you do?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Um, well, mainly, I am a fountain of rubbish facts,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43so I find it quite easy to put it together, actually.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Well, that's what we need here, fountains of rubbish facts.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Just described the Eggheads there.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50LAUGHTER
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Shall we play the game?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:54 > 0:01:56up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Bingley Bright Sparks, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11And our first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, who'd like to take this one on to start us off?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Andy... - THEY CONFER
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Andy.- You go and I'll take history if it comes up.- Yes, you go.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20I'll take Politics, Dermot.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24OK, well, Andy there. History teacher, of course. Kind of related.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And who would you like to play from the Eggheads, Andy?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Er, can I play CJ, please?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Yes, OK. To kick us off then, it's Andy and CJ.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Both to the Question Room, please.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37OK, it's Politics.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Do you want to go first or second? - Can I go first, please?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47OK, good luck, Andy. First question to you, then, on Politics.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50In 2013, Nawaz Sharif
0:02:50 > 0:02:54was elected for a third term as Prime Minister of which country?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Erm...I am a bit sketchy on this,
0:03:01 > 0:03:06but Nawaz Sharif sounds very much like a Pakistani name.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I doubt that someone
0:03:08 > 0:03:13with that name would be from Peru, as...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I would expect more of
0:03:16 > 0:03:18a Hispanic name, as with Panama, as well.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, I think I'm going to pick Pakistan, please, Dermot.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Pakistan for Nawaz Sharif is the right answer.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Good start, Andy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30CJ, which publication was established
0:03:30 > 0:03:35in 1937 by the Labour MPs Stafford Cripps and George Strauss?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Well, Stafford Cripps was fairly...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47uh, left-wing in his thinking, wasn't he?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50The Big Issue is, of course, much later.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I think Tribune is American, so I'll go for The Spectator.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- BARRY:- No, no, no.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59OK, all the analysis done there, CJ, but picked the wrong answer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- It's Tribune. - Thought it was American.- No.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Well, it's good news, potentially, Andy.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Let's see if you can make it a 2-0 lead.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14The United Australia Party was dissolved in the mid-1940s
0:04:14 > 0:04:17and re-emerged under what name?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I don't think it would be the National Party,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27just mainly because it sounds more right, does that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I think the Unite sounds a bit left,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34so I'm torn between Labour and Liberal.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I would say that if it's dissolved
0:04:37 > 0:04:40in the 1940s, it may not have been doing very well.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I think that many liberal parties around the world were not doing well
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- at that time, so I think I'll go for the Liberal Party, please.- OK.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Good analysis, again, but have you got the right answer?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yes, you have! Correct.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, CJ, you must get this one, then.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01In a minor reshuffle in October 2013,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Alastair Carmichael replaced Michael Moore in which Cabinet post?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11He became the Scottish Secretary.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Correct. OK. Still in it, but Andy, you go
0:05:16 > 0:05:18into the final round with a correct answer here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Which senior police officer
0:05:20 > 0:05:24was appointed as Director General of the National Crime Agency,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29which replaced the Serious Organised Crime Agency, in October 2013?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35For some reason, Keith Bristow
0:05:35 > 0:05:39has come in focus.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I don't know, I just think that a name...a double-barrelled name
0:05:42 > 0:05:46or a name like Trotter - having a name like Pickles myself -
0:05:46 > 0:05:48would have struck me,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51so I'm going to go for Keith Bristow, please.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Impressive quizzing. You're in the final round.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55THEY CHEER
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, a lot of that knowledge from quizzes past
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I think have stuck there. As I say, you are in the final round.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06CJ won't be there. Come back and join your teams.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10A flying start for the Bright Sparks.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The Eggheads will be missing at least one brain from the final.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17We move on to round two, then. It's Film and Television.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Who would like to play, from the Bright Sparks?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22THEY CONFER
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I fancy it. Fancy it. Yep. - Got you, then, Ben.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30And which Egghead would you like to choose? Anyone apart from CJ.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I know Barry is very good at Film and Television, so avoid him.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Kevin?- I think Kevin. OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Take a big gun out of the way. - I'll take Kevin, Dermot, please.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43An attempt, as you are saying there, to take a big gun out of the game.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's Ben and Kevin playing this one.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Into the question room, please.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Would you like to go first or second, Ben?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Good luck, Ben. First question... The TV programme
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Andy Pandy was regularly broadcast as part of what?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Well, I mean, I do... I recognise two of the answers.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Er, I mean, obviously... I wouldn't have thought it would be
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Watch with Mother.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Time to Rest...
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Storytime...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm going to with
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Storytime, Dermot.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Storytime, for Andy Pandy.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33It's not the right answer, Ben. It isn't. Kevin will know, I'm sure.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'm not sure why you say that!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40It's Watch with Mother. I don't remember really watching this
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- when I was a kid. It was on, but... Anyway, Watch with Mother.- It is.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49OK, your first question, Kevin. In the Star Wars films,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51what type of creature is Chewbacca?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm sure some people probably think of bookies in that way,
0:07:57 > 0:07:58but, no, it's a Wookiee.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's a Wookiee. That's correct.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03OK, Ben, to get on the board,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06which actress joined the cast of Coronation Street
0:08:06 > 0:08:09in 1989, to play the character Liz McDonald?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I think - I really shouldn't admit to this - but I'm pretty sure
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Denise Welch played Natalie Horrocks, I think,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21on Natalie Barnes, whichever you want to go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Erm...Vicky Entwistle plays Janice Battersby,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29so the answer I'm going to go for is Beverley Callard.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Very full and the correct answer. Well done. Beverley Callard.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Kevin, in September, 2013, it was announced that which member
0:08:38 > 0:08:42of the BBC News team was leaving to join the banking and finance company
0:08:42 > 0:08:43JP Morgan?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I think it was the Economics Editor, appropriately enough,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Stephanie Flanders.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Stephanie Flanders is the right answer.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59So, you have got two. And Ben,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01the title character
0:09:01 > 0:09:03in the 1980 Western,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Tom Horn was one of the last roles played by which actor?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Right, OK, Steve McQueen, famous for The Great Escape.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Charles Bronson, I know he's a famous prisoner,
0:09:19 > 0:09:25but that's nothing to do with films. William Holden, I'm not sure of.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Erm...I'm going to go with Charles Bronson, please, Dermot.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30OK, Charles Bronson,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33as Tom Horn, in one of his last roles.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's not the right answer. Kevin.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's Steve McQueen. Same year he died.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Steve McQueen, OK, the same year,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43as Kevin is telling us, that he died, in 1980,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45as Tom Horn.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The round is over. I'm afraid
0:09:47 > 0:09:50it means you can't beat Kevin's score of two,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53which he has already, so no place for you in the final round, Ben.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Come back and join your teams.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Very much all to play for, still. Both teams have now lost one brain
0:10:00 > 0:10:01from the final round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05We move on to our third round. This one is Music.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07So, who from the Bright Sparks
0:10:07 > 0:10:09would like to take this one on?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- That's you, mate, yeah?- Yep.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Guitarist.- Yeah. I'll take Music on, Dermot.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Who would you like to play? Kevin and CJ have played,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19so you can have Barry, Dave or Pat.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Pat?- Yeah.- Yeah, all right. - What do you reckon with Pat?- Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Yeah, we'll take Pat, please.- OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Paul and Pat, into the question room, please.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Paul, let's play the round.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Are you going first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Good luck, Paul. Here you go. What was the title
0:10:38 > 0:10:41of Nelly Furtado's first UK hit single?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It was a great song. It was very catchy.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It wasn't I'm Like a Horse.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51LAUGHTER
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It wasn't I'm Like a Snail.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's I'm Like a Bird.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00I'm Like a Bird, yes. We were just thinking, I'm Like a Horse!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03LAUGHTER
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Whoever just thought up the choices to put there, they are brilliant.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08They are good, aren't they? Gave us all a good chuckle.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm Like a Bird, of course.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Pat, which rock 'n' roll song begins
0:11:13 > 0:11:17with the line, "You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain"?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Singing this is a job for Chris.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I won't attempt it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It sounds very much like Great Balls of Fire.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It is the right answer.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Rock 'n' roll fan Paul, there, nodding along. He knows it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36OK, your second question, then, Paul.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39On the cover of which of these albums
0:11:39 > 0:11:42does David Bowie appear with his eyes closed?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm actually a big fan of David Bowie.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Since everything has gone digital, I've bought none of his albums,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54so I've never bought
0:11:54 > 0:11:56or looked at the album cover.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Out of the three on there...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02..the one I've heard of, the one I'm familiar with,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03would be Hunky Dory.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06OK, Hunky Dory, for David Bowie with his eyes closed.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's incorrect. No, it's one of the other two. Pat?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think it's Aladdin Sane. He's got a fancy make-up job,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17like a bolt of coloured lightning going across his eyes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19That is it, yep. Aladdin Sane.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22That was just out of interest.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25This is your second question, Pat. Which French singer's
0:12:25 > 0:12:28only hit single in the UK was a cover version
0:12:28 > 0:12:31of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, in 1970?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think - one of my mother's favourites -
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I think this was Sacha Distel.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It is correct. Sacha Distel, with that in the charts.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47OK, you need to get this, Paul.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50In 1942, the singer-songwriter
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Johnny Mercer was a co-founder of which record label,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58whose early signings included Peggy Lee, Stan Kenton and Nat King Cole?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Difficult one, this one, Dermot.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08At a guess, I'd go Decca.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10No reason behind it. I don't know what
0:13:10 > 0:13:15RCA stands for. Capitol Records, I've heard that.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Earlier than Capitol, I seem to think of Decca.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I seem to think it started before Capitol.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I'll go Decca.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27OK, Decca, for one of the founders being Johnny Mercer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's not the right answer, sorry. Pat?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- I'd have gone for Capitol. - It is Capitol,
0:13:34 > 0:13:39which means, once again, the round is over at this stage.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Pat's going through to the final round.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44No place for you, Paul, sorry. Come back and join your teams.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50That flying start by the Bright Sparks has got rather bogged down.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53They have lost two brains from the final round, to the Eggheads' one.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, what will be the configuration in the final round?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00The outcome of this head-to-head will decide it. It's Arts and Books.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02And it is Neil or Chris to play it
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- from the Bright Sparks. - Do you want to take it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Arts or books - no idea.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09THEY CONFER
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Do you want to go for it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- All right. Yeah, I'll take it. - OK, Chris, you can choose
0:14:13 > 0:14:16from Barry or Dave on the Eggheads' side.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19What do we reckon?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'd go Dave. Barry is superb at this.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Let's go Dave. We'll try Dave, please.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26OK, it's going to be Chris and Dave playing this one.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Into the question room, please.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Chris, it's Arts and Books. Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33First, please.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Good luck, Chris. Here is your first question. The American writer
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Noah Webster is best known for his 1828 publication,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45which was what type of book?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Initially, I'd rule out Dictionary.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Just got the Oxford Dictionary in my head,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57so I don't think it would be that.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Erm, I'm, kind of, torn between the other two.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Because of a primary school teacher, I'm going to go for fairytale.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08OK, fairytale for Noah Webster.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'm afraid there is also a Webster's dictionary.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It's what we're looking for there, dictionary.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17There's an interesting thing about Noah Webster.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20He wanted to make a unique identity for the American language,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24so he was the man who actually took out the U in words like "color".
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Just to make American different from English.- Color, labor...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30That's right, all down to Noah Webster.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34A very interesting fact. OK, Dave, first question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Which of these photographers was born in Peru in 1954
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and came to live in London in his early 20s?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think dates with 1954, rule out both Patrick Lichfield
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and David Bailey. I'll go for Mario Testino.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Is the right answer, Dave. So you're on the board.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Let's get Chris registering.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Chris, the 2002 book Taking On The World is
0:16:02 > 0:16:04an autobiography of which sportswoman?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Initially I would rule Jayne Torvill out.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I know Tanni Grey-Thompson is a Paralympian.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20But because Ellen MacArthur, I believe, is a sailor, and I
0:16:20 > 0:16:26believe she sailed around the world, I'm going to go for Ellen MacArthur.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29OK, and looking at that title would fit, wouldn't it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33It's the right answer. Ellen MacArthur, Taking On The World.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Dave, the 1954 book Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck is a sequel
0:16:40 > 0:16:42to which of his other novels?
0:16:46 > 0:16:52I don't know this, but I've got a leaning towards
0:16:52 > 0:16:55East of Eden for some reason, so I'll go East of Eden.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59OK, East of Eden for Sweet Thursday.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Barry, you're getting very agitated there.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I'm agitated because my favourite novel of all time is Cannery Row,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and Sweet Thursday is the sequel to Cannery Row.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10As a very agitated Barry here said
0:17:10 > 0:17:13it's one of his favourite books, Cannery Row.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I wouldn't have got that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20So, well, it's all square then.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Chris, third question.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The stage play, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui
0:17:24 > 0:17:26by Berthold Brecht,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31which was revived in the West End in 2013, is set in which US city?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Again, I'm not sure...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I think I'm just going to have a take a punt on this one.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm just going to go for New York, please.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45OK, New York for The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48It's not!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Dave, do you know? - I'd have gone New York myself.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53But I'll go, in that case, I'll go for Los Angeles.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55LAUGHTER Oh, dear!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58That's interesting again.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And so the other Eggheads would tell me it is...
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Chicago.- Chicago.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05The Rise of Arturo Ui based around, illustrating the rise of...?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Of Hitler, essentially, but it's done in a Chicago gangster
0:18:09 > 0:18:11setting with a kind of Al Capone figure.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14OK, well, it wasn't Dave's question.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And this would get you into the final round.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21In 1969, a museum dedicated to which artist was
0:18:21 > 0:18:24opened in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where he lived
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and painted for the last 25 years of his life?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'm going to rule out Jackson Pollock.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Rockwell or Hopper.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I will go...
0:18:43 > 0:18:44..Norman Rockwell.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK, Norman Rockwell.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50A museum there in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, you think.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51It's correct, Dave.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52You've identified it,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56which means you have deprived Chris of a place in the final round.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58You're going to be in it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And this is what we've been playing towards,
0:19:03 > 0:19:04it's time for the final round
0:19:04 > 0:19:06which as always is General Knowledge.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't
0:19:09 > 0:19:11be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15So Paul, Ben and Chris from the Bingley Bright Sparks,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So, Neil and Andy, you're playing
0:19:22 > 0:19:24to win the Bingley Bright Sparks £5,000.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Pat, Dave, Kevin and Barry, you're playing for something
0:19:27 > 0:19:29which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and you're allowed to confer.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So, Bingley Bright Sparks, the question is,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And, Neil and Andy, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52OK, your first question coming right up, then.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The name of which animal is often used to describe someone who
0:19:55 > 0:19:57is the subject of an experiment?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well I've met a few weasels in my time.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04But I don't think it's weasel.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Chipmunk, that's an aircraft. - Absolutely.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- I think we are being used as guinea pigs.- I think we are.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We are the Bingley guinea pigs.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well, I think we are the Bingley Grammar School guinea pigs.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And we'll go for guinea pig, Dermot.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well, you've got the right answer.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23So it means you are in the lead at the moment.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Of course, I've not put any questions to the Eggheads yet.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Here you go, your first question.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32What two colours are the horizontal stripes on the top usually
0:20:32 > 0:20:34worn by Dennis the Menace in The Beano?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Surely red and black, isn't it? - Red and black, yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yes, Dennis the Menace is always seen in a very tight-fitting
0:20:44 > 0:20:47jumper and it is red and black stripes.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You didn't have those stripes. There's a white stripe on yours.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Could be Dennis the Menace. When I was a lot younger.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55DERMOT LAUGHS
0:20:55 > 0:20:58OK, it is the right answer, red and black.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And Bingley Bright Sparks, second question.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05In most states of the USA, Columbus Day is observed on the second
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Monday of which month?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Columbus Day.- I've got no idea.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Christopher Columbus. I hope it's Christopher.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It is, yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Um, well, February would be wintertime. June, summer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Going into fall in October.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27There's an image in my head of whenever I've seen it on film,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30they're always wearing quite thick coats.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- So it could be October or February. - October or February.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'd say, because he is the discoverer of America,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38he wouldn't set sail in winter.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42So I think, if you set sail in summer,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45he would reach America by October.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Either February or October.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Yeah.- I'd go for October.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52That's as good a logic as I can muster.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- So, you think October? - I think October.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58We're going to go to the right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01We're not sure about this, Dermot.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05We've reasoned, probably incorrectly, that
0:22:05 > 0:22:10if you're going to hit landfall and discover a new country,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14you're going to set off in decent weather,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and maybe get there when it's not so...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19when it's not so clever.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22So we're going to plump for October.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24OK, October.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Working on that voyage by Columbus.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Sounds good to me. It's the right answer anyway.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Well done!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I like that reasoning, don't know whether it's right or not.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40But certainly got the right answer. Very good. Two to you, then.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Eggheads, on a road sign in Germany,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46what is meant by the word MAUT, M-A-U-T?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I've never driven in Germany.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- I don't know.- M-A-U-T.- M-A-U-T.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Any thoughts, Pat?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03We've got the place name, Mauthausen.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06That would suggest a toll settlement, I don't know.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11If that were relevant, no parking wouldn't...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14And give way wouldn't really make sense.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- No.- But that's only a tenuous thing. That's not proper evidence.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- And if that were in any way linked...- It's a concentration camp.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yes, but it's still a place that which the camp was built.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29And you might have, historically back hundreds of years, tolls...
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- ..were relevant.- Tollhouse. - It's possible.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36There's no evidence behind it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- It's the only thing that we've got any logic.- It is, yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44- OK?- I think we will have to try it. - We have to try it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48As you've gathered, we're really at sixes and sevens on this one.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52But on the principle that there is a place called Mauthausen,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56which just might mean tollhouse, it wouldn't mean give way house
0:23:56 > 0:23:59or no parking house, we think the answer might be toll.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00OK, toll.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Well, it is the right answer, yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Mauthausen, it's in Austria.- Yes.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yeah, Mauthausen, Austria. Yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14So it is all square, both teams going really well
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and third question for the Bingley Bright Sparks,
0:24:17 > 0:24:22the prestigious architecture award, the Stirling Prize, was awarded
0:24:22 > 0:24:28in 2013 to a restoration project of which 12th century English building?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm thinking Framlingham, but...
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Framlingham. I was erring towards Pevensey.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41But for absolutely no reason.
0:24:41 > 0:24:48- The Bingley reputation is resting on our...- On our big shoulders.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50THEY LAUGH
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- I think we go with Pevensey. - Pevensey.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Let's give it one more thought. Pevensey, Framlingham, or Astley.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00I don't know.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03If it's the 11th century, you've got to think of where the
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Normans are trying to secure when they first come into England.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11And most of the castles that are built are mainly in the South first,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- and then they move North after that. - Yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So I would say Pevensey is...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22It sounds almost Cornish, doesn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- It does, actually. - Let's go Pevensey, then.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Come on.- Shall we do it?- Yeah. - For Bingley.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Dermot, we're really not sure about this at all.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35There's no method in the madness, but we are going to...
0:25:36 > 0:25:40..err on the side of Pevensey Castle.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44OK, Pevensey Castle for the restoration project that
0:25:44 > 0:25:46won the Stirling Prize.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48When you were tossing up between Pevensey and Framlingham,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51let's see what the Eggheads think.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52I think Astley.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53It's Astley Castle.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The first one you got wrong in the final round,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57but the Eggheads have to face their third question.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You have to grit your teeth and hope they don't get it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01So, Eggheads, in Greek mythology,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Leto was the daughter of Coeus and which other Titan?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I have something vaguely ringing
0:26:10 > 0:26:12at the back of my mind that says Phoebe.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18- It's Kronos and Rhea, isn't it?- Yes. - Rhea is out.- Rhea's out.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Probably.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21DERMOT LAUGHS
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Phoebe is beginning to ring a bell.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27I'm starting to favour Phoebe. What do you think?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Just to check, who's Achilles' mother?- Thetis.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Thetis. OK, different person.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It could be. I think Rhea is out.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40But it could be Tethys.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45But she's particularly associated with the ocean and water.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- And there's nothing, it doesn't seem to lead on.- No.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- Those two names, Coeus and Phoebe ring...- That's fair enough.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- What do you think?- Yes. OK, we will go with that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03OK, Dermot, well once again we are not totally sure of this one.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08We're certain it's not Rhea, because Rhea was married to Kronos.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09So that discounts Rhea.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13And Tethys is the goddess of the ocean,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17the early ocean was called Tethys and we don't believe that
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Leto or Leto's children had anything to do with the ocean.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25But I have a bell ringing with me for Phoebe. And so has...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Kevin a little bit.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31So on that basis, we're going to go for Phoebe.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Let me introduce you, that's Kevin there, Kevin, Barry, Barry, Kevin.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37BARRY LAUGHS
0:27:37 > 0:27:39OK, going for Phoebe there.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Leto was the daughter of...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46..Phoebe, it's correct. You have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49APPLAUSE
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Listen, Andy and Neil, you were saying at one stage
0:27:54 > 0:27:56that you felt the reputation of Bingley Grammar
0:27:56 > 0:27:57was resting on your shoulders.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01I think it's safe and secure after the way you two quizzed today.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04A really good performance from you two there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It took a lot of reasoning by the Eggheads to beat you in the end
0:28:07 > 0:28:09there, so congratulations to you, Bright Sparks.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And best of luck with the teaching and the school.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17APPLAUSE Well done.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I'm afraid you will not be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And join us next time to see
0:28:27 > 0:28:30if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
