0:00:05 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 0:00:33The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of old friends take their name from the fact that they've
0:00:40 > 0:00:44celebrated their 60th birthdays. So let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Steve. I'm a retired trade union education officer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Bob. I'm a retired industrial chemist.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Steve. I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm David. And I'm a retired computer programmer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm John. I'm a retired university lecturer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Steve and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Bob and I play golf together, hence the Swinging part of the Sixties.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And the other members of the team are old friends of ours.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Right, and you quiz together as well, is that right?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Bob and I have quizzed together, but we haven't done
0:01:17 > 0:01:19so regularly recently.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Will the clubs come out if it gets nasty?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Good luck to you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash
0:01:29 > 0:01:33However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:33 > 0:01:40Swinging Sixties, the Eggheads have done rather well recently.
0:01:40 > 0:01:53So ?14,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58John? OK. Choose an Egghead. You can have any one of the five.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Dave, do you think? Yeah, OK. I'll go with Dave.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Right, so it's going to be John from the Swinging Sixties
0:02:05 > 0:02:07versus Dave from the Eggheads. Arts Books, Dave.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Arts Books, John. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:16 > 0:02:24I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25How long is the longest side
0:02:25 > 0:02:28of John Constable's painting The Hay Wain?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41It surely can't be 7.85 metres.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Yeah, bang on. Sorry we couldn't give it to you in feet and inches.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50HE LAUGHS 1.85 is right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Dave...
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Milan Kundera, born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, in 1929,
0:02:56 > 0:03:07became famous in which role?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yes, what did he write? Any Eggs?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10The Unbearable Lightness Of Being.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14The Unbearable Lightness Of Being. Yes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Back to you, John.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Which writer's first novel, entitled Union Street,
0:03:19 > 0:03:27was the inspiration for the 1990 feature film Stanley And Iris?
0:03:27 > 0:03:34I'm pretty sure that Union Street is Pat Barker.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Pat Barker is right. Yeah, very good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Dave, which French landscape and portrait painter,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45born in Paris in 1796, had the first names Jean-Baptiste-Camille?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Jean-Baptiste-Camille? Yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:551796. Born in Paris.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Yeah, Corot's the one. He's the landscape painter.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00John, your question. Which Sherlock Holmes novel
0:04:00 > 0:04:02culminates in a boat chase
0:04:02 > 0:04:07along the Thames after an Andaman Islander called Tonga?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16I don't know my Sherlock Holmes stories so...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I can't see any way I can really work this out.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Let's go with...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The Valley Of Fear.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I bet Chris knows.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27It's The Sign Of Four, Jeremy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It is The Sign Of Four, John.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Two out of three. Let's see how Dave does now.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You could be in the final, Dave, if you get this right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Which writer was expelled from Cornwall in 1917
0:04:38 > 0:04:39on suspicion of spying?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'm going to have to go with DH Lawrence,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51but there's no real certainty in that.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Do you know, John?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I would have gone for DH Lawrence as well.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58DH Lawrence is the right answer. Dave, well done. Thank you.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59You got it right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01John, sorry about that. You've been knocked out.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Not the greatest start for your team. Plenty of time left.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Please come back to us and we will play on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13As it stands, Swinging Sixties have lost one brain from the final round.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The next subject is Geography.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So who is the best travelled sixty-something?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23INDISTINCT CHAT
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I think that's going to be me, Jeremy.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28OK, David. Anyone here look as though they don't get out much?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think Lisa.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I think we will go for Lisa, please.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35OK, yes. You haven't got CJ here. CJ can really stumble on this.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37But no CJ today.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So David from Swinging Sixties versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46David, you're a lepidopterist.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50That's right, Jeremy. I like to study butterflies and moths.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I was going to ask what that is, yeah. We are on Geography here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'm sure there is a connection somewhere.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Here we go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10The abbreviation ACT stands for Australian Capital what?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'm pretty sure that the Australian Capital Territory.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It is indeed. Well done. Territory it is.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Lisa.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Which of these rivers is also known as the Zaire River?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I think it would make sense for it to be the Congo.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The Congo is right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34OK, back to you, David.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Which of these Welsh local authority areas shares a border with England?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'm tempted by Carmarthenshire but...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Powys...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'm going to rule out the Vale of Glamorgan.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53But I'm tempted by Carmarthenshire and Powys.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Carmarthen. Powys.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I think I'm going towards Powys now.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'm going to go for Powys.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Powys is the right answer. Well done.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You were very methodical there.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Very much so.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14OK, Lisa. Which Canadian province is bordered by Quebec and Manitoba?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I was so delighted to escape that Welsh question and now I've
0:07:21 > 0:07:24walked straight into another one that's all about relative provinces.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I thought Nova Scotia had links to Prince Edward Island, which is
0:07:29 > 0:07:31sort of east coast of Canada.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Which would put it in the same sort of region.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39And I can't find a better reason than that for the others.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Given that this is almost certainly going to be wrong,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43I shall go for Nova Scotia.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Do you know, David? Out of interest.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46I think it's Ontario.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It is Ontario, yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Australia and Canada, Lisa.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Basically big countries with lots of provinces.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Can we just not have them?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Far away places of which we know little.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59David, get this one right and you are in the final round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03The Pacific island of Bora Bora is part of an overseas territory
0:08:03 > 0:08:04of which country?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Hmm.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, I don't think Spain has got many interests in that
0:08:12 > 0:08:13part of the world.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18I know the United States got control of a lot of islands in that area...
0:08:19 > 0:08:21..after the Second World War.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I think I'm going to go for the United States.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Do you know, Challengers?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27France, is it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah, it is France.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29France is the answer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Let's see whether you get punished for that, David.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Lisa has a chance now to stay in.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Mounts Bay is a large sweeping bay in which county?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Nope. Internal library is coming up with a blank.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So, finger in the wind,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50chalk on the blackboard,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52tail on the donkey,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53East Sussex.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It's not the first time that this has come up. Other side of the country?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Cornwall is the answer. Of course it is! Yay(!)
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Probably some kind of DH Lawrence connection.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04So, David, well done. Thank you. How about that!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07You are in the final round. Lisa has been knocked out.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10David, please come back. Lisa too. And we will play on.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So, Swinging Sixties, how are we feeling?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Better. LAUGHTER
0:09:15 > 0:09:18OK, good. Certainly not retired from the point of view of this game.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22You've lost a brain, they've lost a brain. We play on.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Food Drink is the subject.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Ooh, that's me, I think.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Is that you? It's me.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Who is the foodie here?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I'm going to take this one. Oh, Steve. OK, good.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The captain. Against which Egghead?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think I'll go for...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You've got to go for... Chris, isn't it?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41INDISTINCT CHATTER Of course, Kevin. Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Of course, Kevin.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45LAUGHTER The one chink maybe.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yeah, it could be.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It just occurred to you suddenly the Kevin food thing. Very famous.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So it's Steve G from the Swinging Sixties,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59We can now do all the jokes about how you haven't got an oven and a fridge.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Yeah, you can do them. Please take your positions.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06We are on Food Drink.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Steve G, it's your choice whether you want to go first or second.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Here is your first question.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17The Reuben sandwich, filled with corned beef, Swiss cheese,
0:10:17 > 0:10:22sauerkraut and Russian dressing, was created in which country?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Yes. I'm not immediately sure of this one.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I don't think it's Denmark.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'll try South Africa.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37No, it's America. Ah. USA.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Not South Africa.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Kevin, over to you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Which of these, Kevin, is a variety of peach?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It's not a lychee and it's not a passion fruit. Nectarine.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Nectarine is correct. Well done.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Steve G, back to you.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Which name is used for a cut of pork that is
0:10:57 > 0:11:00taken from the top of the foreleg?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Yes, it's definitely not tenderloin.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I haven't heard of hand and spring.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll go for chump, Jeremy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Hand and spring is the answer, Steve.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16THEY MURMUR
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Kevin, in Spanish cuisine, Albarino is a type of what?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I don't think I've come across that, no.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29But you can see why it might, because of the Alba bit,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32you can see why it might be a white wine,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36because that's a translation of white.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But is that too...obvious.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Pickled egg doesn't give me anything at all.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44There are various types of air-dried ham, though.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's a popular way of doing ham in Spain.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'm going to go for the air-dried ham.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'm sure I'm going to regret this.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54You are cos it's white wine. It's white wine, yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55You got halfway there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58He's let you off slightly there, Steve.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00But you need to get this one right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03In confectionery, a type of black and white striped mint is named
0:12:03 > 0:12:07after which district of Liverpool where they were first made?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I've not heard of a mint from...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Everton. They call them the Toffees.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I think I'll plump...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Toxteth or Bootle.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I'll plump for Toxteth, Jeremy.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Let's ask your team-mates. I think you know, team-mates.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31We think it's Everton. The Toffees.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yeah, Everton is the answer.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Everton is the answer. Sorry, Steve.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Kevin has pulled past you with his Food Drink knowledge.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40A bit.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42LAUGHING: A bit, yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44So Kevin will be in the final. Please come back to us.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Rejoin your team-mates. We will see what happens next.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The Swinging Sixties have lost two brains
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and lost the skipper as well, sorry, Steve.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57The Eggheads have also lost a brain. We won't mention who, Lisa.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58The next subject is Sport.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Is this good before the final? Sport.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Are you happy for me to take that? Very happy. Fantastic.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Is that you, Bob? It's me, Jeremy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08OK, choose an Egghead if you can.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Better be Chris. I'm told it has to be Chris.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14He is going to be pleased about that.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17He's got the staring eyes now, look. LAUGHTER
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Bob from the Swinging Sixties, Chris from the Eggheads.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21To ensure there is no conferring,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27All right. Sport. Do you want to go first or second, Bob?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I'll go first, please.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And here is your question.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36In which country do football teams compete in the competition
0:13:36 > 0:13:37called La Liga?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Well, I don't know what the Swedish league is called.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Or the Swiss. It sounds Spanish.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's Spain, Jeremy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Spain is correct.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Chris, which test cricket ground
0:13:52 > 0:13:55is the home of Surrey County Cricket Club?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Mm. That's Kennington Oval, Jeremy. That's the Oval.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The Oval is right. So that's the one in London? Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Just across Westminster Bridge. Right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Back to you, Bob.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13In which sport does a loose forward usually wear the number 13 shirt?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19It's certainly not hockey.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I've played that all my life.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Loose forward...
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It sounds like a rugby term to me. I'm going for rugby league.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Rugby league is correct.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Playing well. Still no golf though.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Trying to find a golf question.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Chris, in 2011, which race was won by Cadel Evans?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47He doesn't sound like a driver, so it's not the Monaco Grand Prix.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Doesn't ring any bells as a cyclist, so it's not the Tour de France.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I'll have to go with the London Marathon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You do do it very sort of persuasively
0:14:55 > 0:14:57when you go straight for an answer.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Even when it's completely wrong. As it is on this occasion.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Tour de France. Ah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yeah. Bob, your question.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Let's see, where are we? You've got two, Chris has got one.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Get this right and you are in the final.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12In which year did women first compete officially in the modern
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Summer Olympics?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23The modern Olympics only started in 1896.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26A fairly small affair, I think.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31They probably weren't ready for women then.
0:15:31 > 0:15:371936 is more famous for the Berlin Olympics and Jesse Owens.
0:15:40 > 0:15:421920 sounds about right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I'll go for 1920.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45No, you should have gone for 1900.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Ah! It was that early. 1900.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So, Chris, get this right, you're still in.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54The golfer Peter Thomson - five-time winner of the Open -
0:15:54 > 0:15:55was born in which country?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I knew we'd get golf at some moment. Just not for the right contestant.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04He's a New Zealander. New Zealand.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Bob, is he right? No.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Where is he from? He's Australian.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Oh, well. Chris, he's Australian. You've been knocked out.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13How about that! TEAM APPLAUD
0:16:13 > 0:16:15In the end, you won it on golf after all.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Indirectly. So you will be in the final round.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20If you both come back, we will play that final.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-head won't be
0:16:30 > 0:16:32allowed to take part in this round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35So Steve G and John from the Swinging Sixties.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But it's also Lisa and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Would you please leave the studio?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Now, Bob, Steve W and David,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48you are playing to win Swinging Sixties ?14,000.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Dave, Kevin and Judith, you're playing for something that
0:16:51 > 0:16:55money I don't think can buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00They are all going to be General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So, Swinging Sixties,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06the question is, can your three brains defeat the three over there?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You pulled it back brilliantly in this contest, so we wish you well.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Good luck. Bob, Steve, David, do you want to go first or second?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15First? Yes. First. First, please.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Here we go.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22According to the advice for drivers described in the highway code,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25which of these actions should be performed first?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Mirrors. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Mirror.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Mirror, you suddenly shout out. Mirror.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Mirror is right.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Eggheads, Lucy Watson, Andy Jordan and Mark-Francis Vandelli became
0:17:47 > 0:17:51well-known following their appearances on which TV programme?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Would you get a Mark-Francis Vandelli in Essex?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Or Geordie Shore? Or Geordie?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Andy is just the one that's throwing me at the moment.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06There are lots of Andys in Chelsea. OK.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08But if you've got it in Lucy and that other name,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12just on the basis of those two, I would go Made In Chelsea but...
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Shall we risk it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Risk it because we are not going to get any nearer. I've got nothing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19We've got nothing to go on at all. Nothing to go on.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Let's go Made In Chelsea. I don't recognise any names. No.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Just purely on the sound of the names, we think
0:18:25 > 0:18:30they fit in Chelsea rather than Essex or Geordie...land.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31So your answer is?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Made In Chelsea.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Made in Chelsea. You guys know?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36We would have had the same reasoning. Yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39The idea that people called Vandelli don't get as far
0:18:39 > 0:18:43north as Newcastle, an extraordinary part of the discussion.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Anyway, you're right. I'll stop teasing. Well done, Judith.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Made In Chelsea it is. Oh what a shame!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50It could have been anything there. It could.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, Challengers,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56the word myriad is derived from the Greek for which number?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Myriad. Who's the...?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04INDISTINCT CHAT
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Now then... The factors. Moving up the factors.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Myriad. It's not going to be 101. No, it's not.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It's definitely more than 101.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17If I'm proved wrong, I'll be devastated.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Did the Greeks need to count up to one million?
0:19:21 > 0:19:2310,000...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I like your reasoning. I'd go for 10,000.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30What do you think? Yeah, go on.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Right, well, we don't know. We know it's lots.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So we are going to go for 10,000.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I guess lots isn't 101. It is 10,000. Well done.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Thank you. OK, Eggheads.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44This is an exciting round we are in here.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Who are the rulers of hagiarchy?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Saints. Saints. Saints. Saints then.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Hagiography. As in hagiography being the lives of saints.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Hagi... Saints.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Saints is correct.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Third question. Two each so far. Tight round.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Tight contest.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08The 1991 play Deja Vu was the follow-up to which famous
0:20:08 > 0:20:10play of the 1950s?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Anybody heard of this one? Now then...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I don't think...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think Look Back In Anger is a red herring
0:20:23 > 0:20:27because it's to do with looking back... Deja Vu...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'd have thought the same about... View From The Bridge, yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I certainly don't recognise it as an Arthur Miller play.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And I don't think that she followed up A Taste Of Honey. I don't think.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Did she? Right, OK. I'm asking you.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I've no idea. I don't know.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48So what does that leave?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It leaves Osborne, doesn't it?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It leaves John Osborne.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Look Back In Anger. Look Back In Anger.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Shall we go for that one?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03We don't know, quite simply.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09But our reasoning, such as it was, brings us to Look Back In Anger.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10And the reasoning is good.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Look Back In Anger it is. You got three out of three. Well done.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17If they, the Eggheads, get this wrong, then the contest is over
0:21:17 > 0:21:19and they have lost.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24In Greek mythology, what was the name of the giant who had
0:21:24 > 0:21:27three bodies and a heard of beautiful red cattle?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37That's the one of...
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Hercules' labours was to steal the cattle of Geryon. Mm.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47And Polyphemus was obviously... Cyclops. Cyclops.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Argus was the 100-eyed man.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So it's Geryon. Geryon. Yep.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55That is Geryon.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Geryon is right.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Eggheads, you have hung on in there with some pretty sure-footed play.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Three each.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Sudden Death in the final round with ?14,000 to play for.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08This is a great edition of Eggheads. Hang on in there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13The ancient city of Tyre is located in which modern-day country?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's Lebanon, I think. Lebanon.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19We are all agreed on that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Looking at the map of the Mediterranean,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25we know roughly where it is.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So we had to decide between Israel and Lebanon.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30And we are going for Lebanon.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm glad you did. You are quite right.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Big city under the Phoenicians. Was it Tyre and Sidon in the Bible, yeah?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37In the Bible, yeah. Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Well, well, well, well, Eggheads.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41You are suddenly on the ropes here.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45By what name is a pedestrian light-controlled crossing
0:22:45 > 0:22:47colloquially known?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Do you mean the ones where you press a button?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yeah. And the lights change? Yeah.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Are they pelican crossings? I thought they were.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58But I stand to be corrected. I thought that's what they were.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I have no idea.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02What's a zebra crossing then?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04A zebra crossing is the one with the lighted beacon.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And you've actually got the black and white markings on the... Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So it's a pelican crossing then, isn't it?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I thought that's what they were called. Yeah, pelican. OK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Pelican? We've got to go with it, yeah. I may be entirely wrong.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20We think they are pelican crossings.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Pelican is right. The clue is in the name.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25PEdestrian LIght CONtrol.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Pe-li-can. Oh, peli-can.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, I think that's where you get pelican from. Controlled.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32OK...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's tense in here!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Your question. Sudden Death.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Which typeface,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43designed by Vincent Connare in 1996,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45was named after a medieval catapult?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I think there are dozens of them. There are dozens of typefaces.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Catapult. Why am I thinking of Trebuchet? Does that ring any bells?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I think you're right. But have you heard of a typeface?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, but I've never been that far down the list.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01That was your first idea.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Otherwise it's a total guess. Yeah, yeah. Yes.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08What is it again? Trebuchet. Trebuchet.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11We don't know, quite simply.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15But we are going to chance our arm with Trebuchet.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Trebuchet. And where did Trebuchet come from, Bob?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Is it the word for catapult?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It just sounds like a medieval catapult.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It's a word I've heard before, but I just can't quite place it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29When you say you don't know, you're wrong. You do know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32You're quite right. Trebuchet is right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33And it was given that name
0:24:33 > 0:24:39because it supposedly launches words across the internet.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43OK, Eggheads again.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49The name of which government department within the criminal
0:24:49 > 0:24:53justice system is frequently abbreviated to SFO?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Serious Fraud Office. Serious Fraud Office. SFO.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Serious Fraud Office? Serious Fraud Office. OK. Yep.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That is the Serious Fraud Office.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Serious Fraud Office is correct.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07OK.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Your question.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Which classic 1970s TV series was based on the novel
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Cyborg by Martin Caidin?
0:25:16 > 0:25:221970s... '70s. Like Doctor Who...
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Sci-fi series. Blake's 7.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Quatermass was before. Red Dwarf.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30That was black-and-white, Quatermass.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Star Trek.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Ooh.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38No, that started in the '60s. Yes. Earlier, I think.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Blake's 7 is our best answer so far.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I can't think of any other ones.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49'60s. '70s.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51No? OK, go with it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We can't come up with anything else. OK.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00Again, I have to start by saying we don't know.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04OK, Blake's 7 is your answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:12You will kick yourselves because it all hinges on the idea
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Are you getting there?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Lee Majors. The Six Million Dollar Man.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Which I know we were
0:26:21 > 0:26:23OK, Eggheads.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Get this question right and you've won the head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Which American city has the nickname the City of the Big Shoulders,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32inspired by a poem by Carl Sandburg?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Well...
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I don't know this, but the only thing - Carl Sandburg was
0:26:38 > 0:26:40famously associated with Chicago.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43A Chicago poet. OK. And writer.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46That's the Windy City, isn't it? It is the Windy City, yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50It can have other names. It could be somewhere... I mean, it's not...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52He didn't exclusively write about Chicago. Mm.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57I have heard the phrase, but I can't think what is actually relates to.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01And then you can start to construct all sorts of cases for other things.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05You've got Boston where you've got the two areas of land which...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07But is he associated with Boston?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10No, he's associated with Chicago. Yeah. Go on, then.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Because Carl Sandburg is associated with Chicago, we are
0:27:15 > 0:27:16going to go for Chicago.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Although we do know that's also called the Windy City.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22But we are going to say Chicago. OK. As an alternative.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Let me read the poem. A bit of the poem.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Hog Butcher for the World
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Stormy, husky, brawling City of the Big Shoulders.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42If not, we play on. You have played really, really well.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43But the answer is Chicago.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46And we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Never mind. That was just toe-to-toe in the final.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Quite pleased with that, yes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Your Trebuchet was a stroke of genius there. Would you have got Trebuchet?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Yes. They are, OK. Yup, they would have done. I hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Yes, thank you. That was fantastic.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Maybe, to misquote Jaws, we needed a bigger club.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12LAUGHTER Commiserations, Swinging Sixties.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16They played well too, I have to say.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Some answers pulled out of the bag there. Quite impressive.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21The winning streak continues on the side.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22On your side, you don't
0:28:22 > 0:28:26go home with a ?14,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Eggheads, well done. Well done, the three of you. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Let's see if next time a new team of Challengers have the brains to do it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39?15,000 says they don't. Till then, thanks for playing. Goodbye.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Live At The Apollo... ..is back. Yay!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Yeah! Back for a brand-new... ..series...
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Oh, fantastic! ..on BBC Two.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Big respect. The future. This is going to go very well.
