0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:18The question is -
0:00:18 > 0:00:19can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on the champions today are The Dude Abides.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team of friends regularly quiz together
0:00:38 > 0:00:39at various pubs in Edinburgh.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40So, let's meet them.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi. I'm Malcolm and I'm a sales consultant.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi. I'm Lily and I'm an English student.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi. I'm Felicity and I'm a freelance costume designer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi. I'm John and I'm a sales manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Roderick and I'm a chartered accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55So, Malcolm, team, welcome.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Good to see you. - Thank you. Thank you. Hello.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Great phrase. We're always looking for good team names.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- This is a good one. Where is it from? - It's from The Big Lebowski.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The Dude's the main character in The Big Lebowski
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and we're big fans of the film, so we are.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11The Dude lives, in a small way, through us. The Dude abides.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So, you quiz together? That's the key thing, right?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Yeah, very much.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Yeah, most of us quiz in the same team around Edinburgh
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and Lily's my goddaughter, so she's quizzed occasionally with us
0:01:21 > 0:01:23so we brought her up to join in the fun.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26OK. Good luck. May the Dude abide today.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:28 > 0:01:29up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35So, Dude Abides,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39what's happened is the Eggheads had a real car crash the other day.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They then just about picked themselves up in the last show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Just. But it was hit and miss.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And they won the last show,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48so that means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Do you want to play for it? - Absolutely.- OK.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53First head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- So, who would like this? Which dude? - Absolutely none of us.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- I think, um, John, I'm afraid. - What we discussed, yeah?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yeah, I think so.- I guess so. It's me. OK, guys? Me?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05OK, John. Against which Egghead, John?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Free floor, John. Go mad, mate.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Give me some help, Malcolm.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Um...- Chris? Do you think Chris?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I think Chris has a degree in history.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Chris.- Chris, we think, at this end.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- That sounds fair enough to me. - Chris?- Yeah, give it a go.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18- Chris, Jeremy.- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I can tell, Malcolm, you watch the show, don't you?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Yeah, I know.- All right.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29So, John from The Dude Abides versus The Big Lebowski over here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Yeah.- Yeah? The Big Hughesie from Eggheads.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, before we get to History, musical history, John.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- You played with The Proclaimers? - It's true.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I was at school with Craig and Charlie Reid
0:02:45 > 0:02:46and whilst I was there,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I was in a band with them briefly, for about five minutes,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52until they found out I was absolutely rubbish at the drums.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Well, I'm one who's rubbish at the drums as well,
0:02:54 > 0:02:55so I can relate to that.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58But they had the talent, did they? That amazing...
0:02:58 > 0:02:59The harmonies.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Well, they were completely different in those days. We were a punk band.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05They couldn't have been more different, really.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So, I had no real concept
0:03:07 > 0:03:09that they would go on to achieve what they had.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I don't think The Proclaimers will come up in History,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- but let's hope.- Shame.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Would you like to go first or second? - I think I'll go first, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19And here we go.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23At which battle did Horatio Nelson's ship fly the signal,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26"England expects that every man will do his duty"?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Um, the flagship, that wasn't Copenhagen or the Nile.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36That would be Trafalgar.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Trafalgar is the right answer. HE CHEERS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK, Chris, your question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Which ancient civilisation had a god called Horus
0:03:45 > 0:03:47that was often depicted with the head of a falcon?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Horus was an Egyptian god, so it's Egyptian.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Egyptian is right, yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59John, Alfred the Great lost the Battle of Wilton to whom
0:03:59 > 0:04:01in AD 871?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Well, Alfred the Great - Wessex.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Um, it wouldn't have been the Romans.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12That's too late. It's too early for the Normans.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14So, I think I'll go for the Danes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It is the Danes. You're playing well.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Okey doke. Let's see how we go now.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Chris, which wife of Henry VIII
0:04:22 > 0:04:25had first been married to his elder brother, Arthur?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30That was Catherine of Aragon.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Catherine of Aragon is right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36OK, John, which country, aided by Germany,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39fought against the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1944
0:04:39 > 0:04:41in the so-called Continuation War?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm not entirely sure on that, but I...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Poland was overrun very quickly, as were the Netherlands
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and there was a war.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Finland.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Finland is right. You're good. - Well done, John.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm sensing we've got a team here, Eggs.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02I can sense it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Chris, got to get this one right.- Yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What was the name of the fictional female worker
0:05:06 > 0:05:08devised by the US government
0:05:08 > 0:05:11to encourage women to work in manufacturing plants and factories
0:05:11 > 0:05:13during World War II?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21She was an idol on posters. It was Rosie the Riveter.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It was indeed Rosie the Riveter. Right up your street, that question.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25So, both of you, three out of three.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Strong round so far on History
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and, John, here we go. Sudden Death.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Gets a bit harder, more tricky. I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Who led the British forces to victory in the 1757 Battle of Plassey?
0:05:37 > 0:05:391757.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Um, I can only think...I can only guess Wolf, John.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- John Wolf.- John Wolf - no. Robert Clive is the answer.- OK.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, Chris, your question. Get this right, you're in the final.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Which French name meaning pierced nose
0:05:53 > 0:05:57was given to the Nimiipuu, the Native American tribe
0:05:57 > 0:06:00that inhabited the area around the Snake River?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05They were the Nez Perces - N-E-Z P-E-R-C-E accent.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Yes.- Nez Perce.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Wow. I looked at that question and I thought, "You won't get that"
0:06:10 > 0:06:12and you surprised me and you did. And why would I be surprised?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You're an Egghead. Chris, well done.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16You've taken the round on Sudden Death. Sorry, John.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You played very well there,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21but you have been beaten and you are out of the contest.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, as it stands, The Dude Abides have lost one brain
0:06:27 > 0:06:30from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Which Dude would like this?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Lil, you all right? - Yeah, I'll take it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Lily? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Could I go against Barry, please? - Fine.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Barry loves Arts & Books. - I do indeed.- Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46We heard you were having a hard day, so we tried.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You can see him starting to tremble with excitement.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51THEY LAUGH Lily from The Dude Abides
0:06:51 > 0:06:52versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55And please, both of you, go to the Question Room now.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, well, good luck in this, Lily. Arts & Books.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Would you like to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Here we go.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11The Italian artist known as Titian was part of which artistic movement?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17He's definitely not Art Deco.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'm pretty sure he's not Expressionist.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- I'm going to say Renaissance. - Renaissance is correct.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25HE CHEERS Hey!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Barry, here's your first question.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Which of these writers was born in Dublin in 1854?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, that's the wonderful Oscar Wilde.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It was indeed Oscar Wilde. Bless him.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Back to you, Lily.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47"Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing"
0:07:47 > 0:07:49is a line by which writer?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Um, I would guess, by the language, I could rule out DH Lawrence.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm going to go with William Shakespeare.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Yes, you are correct. It is William Shakespeare.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06OK. Barry, your question.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Which artist, later to endure a stormy friendship with van Gogh,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13was a stockbroker before he became a painter?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I believe that was Paul Gauguin.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Paul Gauguin is correct. Well done.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27You're good on your Impressionists, I must say.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29OK, Lily, your question for three out of three.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32The 1986 film Stand By Me
0:08:32 > 0:08:36was based on a short story entitled The Body by which author?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42OK, this isn't really my area.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Um, I'm going to rule out JD Salinger.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Stephen King likes his The...noun sort of titles,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53so I'm going to go with Stephen King.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Stephen King is correct.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56HE CHEERS
0:08:56 > 0:08:58OK, Barry, I can see you're looking nervous there.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01HE CHUCKLES Barry's now worried.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02He's on the cliff edge now.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Lily has three out of three. Can Barry keep up?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Johnny Rooster Byron is a character
0:09:08 > 0:09:11in which award-winning play by Jez Butterworth?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Ooh, you've got me on this one.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Never heard of the playwright. I'm not quite sure of the play.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Something is ringing at the back of my skull
0:09:24 > 0:09:26to say it might be The River, but I'm not sure.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28But I'll go for that anyway.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Played by Mark Rylance. Anyone know here?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- It's Jerusalem.- Jerusalem.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- It was a huge success for Mark Rylance.- Yeah.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Not a breakthrough thing, but it was a massive thing for him.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Jerusalem's the answer, Barry. Been knocked out. Well done, Lily.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Well beaten.- Yay!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46So, you're in the final round and Barry has gone.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49As he says, well beaten. Please come back to us. We'll play on.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So, as it stands, The Dude Abides have lost one brain
0:09:53 > 0:09:54from the final round.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57The Eggheads have lost a brain as well. Knocked out by Lily.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And the next subject is Sport.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Which wants this?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Felicity, do you want Sport? - THEY LAUGH
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Are you sure?- Absolutely sure.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- You can take that one if you like. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- OK, I'll do Sport, please. - It's you, Malcolm.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12You're saving Roderick at the end.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- You're very quiet down there, Roderick.- I'm keeping my powder dry.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18What are your strong subjects?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Possibly science.- Science? OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So, Malcolm on Sport against which Egghead?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Um, I'll try CJ, please, if I can.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27There's a clamour for CJ recently. A lot of people are wanting to...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- What do you mean recently? Forever!- Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's the shirt. It's the shirt that does it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The shirt has turned up, I must say, recently.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Malcolm from The Dude Abides versus our own CJ from the Eggheads.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, Malcolm, you've got to tell us the story
0:10:43 > 0:10:46about your mum's birthday cake.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- All right. If I have to. - You've got to.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Yeah, I was working abroad actually in Germany for a little bit
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and my mother decided - it was my birthday -
0:10:54 > 0:10:55she'd send me a little bit of cake.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Wrapped it up in tinfoil, mailed it to me in Germany.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It was intercepted by the German police,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03tested for hashish,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06showed as positive for hashish and I was...
0:11:06 > 0:11:11My room was searched and I was called in by the German drug squad
0:11:11 > 0:11:14so they could investigate what my mother was up to.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Sales at the church sale of work rocketed on the back of this news.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- JEREMY LAUGHS Yeah.- And then it turned out,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23actually, the test - chemistry test on the cake -
0:11:23 > 0:11:25was surprisingly inaccurate
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and, in fact, my mother is not a major drug smuggler.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What, so, she was thinking,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30"What on earth did I put in that cake?"
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yeah, it was highly entertaining, but terrifying at the time.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I had no idea what it was until they produced the package
0:11:36 > 0:11:38with my mother's handwriting on it,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40whereupon I started laughing at the German drug squad.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42THEY LAUGH OK. Well, good.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It may be cake-fuelled for this round. Maybe that'll help.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So, we're on Sport and would you like to go first or second, Malcolm?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49First, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Here's your first question.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Golfers who suffer from a condition called the yips
0:11:57 > 0:12:01are most likely to experience it when playing which type of shot?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I do play golf spectacularly badly.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I slice drives and muff bunker shots,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13but you get the yips when you're putting,
0:12:13 > 0:12:14so I'll say putt, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Putting is quite right. Well done.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20CJ, what is the term for a basketball shot
0:12:20 > 0:12:23in which the player pushes the ball through the basket
0:12:23 > 0:12:25from above the level of the ring?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Um, I think this is sometimes prefaced by the word slam
0:12:33 > 0:12:34for a dunk.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Dunk. Slam dunk. Well done.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Back to you, Malcolm.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The Colombian striker Radamel Falcao
0:12:41 > 0:12:44joined which Premier League football team on loan
0:12:44 > 0:12:46in September 2014?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Um, I believe we actually use the same hairstylist.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56It's Manchester United.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59JEREMY CHUCKLES Manchester United is correct.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00OK, over to you, CJ.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The cricketer Makhaya Ntini,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07who took 390 test match wickets, was born in which country?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Ntini is N-T-I-N-I.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Well, all I've got to go on here is the language.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Um, the language, to me, sounds more South African than the other two.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Sri Lanka's thrown me a bit, but purely on the language,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27specifically of the surname, I'll try South Africa.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31South Africa is the right answer. Tight play on both sides now.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Malcolm, back to you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34The boxer Roberto Duran,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36a world champion at four different weights,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39was born in 1951 in which country?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44(Or Panama.)
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'll go for Mexico, but it's...
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I'm not sure at all.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Do your team-mates know? Anyone? - We believe it's Panama.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Panama is the answer. So, two out of three.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56OK, CJ, you have a chance to take the round now.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59In 1958, which cyclist became the first British rider
0:13:59 > 0:14:02to win a stage of the Tour de France?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I've never heard the name Brian Robinson
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and I've never heard the name Barry Hoban.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I believe I've heard the name Tommy Simpson.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16For some reason, I'm a bit torn with Robinson,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17but I've got nothing to go on.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'll try Tommy Simpson.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Brian Robinson is the right answer, so you've also got two out of three.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, Malcolm, a bit of a let off there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Once again, we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Which professional darts player is nicknamed Silverback?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33The only darts players I know are by their nicknames.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37So, Steve Wright is Snakebite. It's Phil The Power Taylor.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39So, I know it's neither of them.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I can't even think of a current darts player.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We'll say Eric Bristow came back
0:14:44 > 0:14:47and took a new nickname other than The Crafty Cockney. Eric Bristow.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50He's a hairy, powerfully-built man, apparently.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Tony O'Shea is known as Silverback. Silverback O'Shea.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56If you get this right, CJ, you will be in the final.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Which British driver won the World Formula One title
0:14:59 > 0:15:04in 1969, 1971 and 1973?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well, a British three-time Formula One world champion
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- would lead me to Jackie Stewart. - Jackie Stewart is the right answer.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well done, CG. You're in the final. Malcolm, sorry.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15It was that wretched darts player.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17So, 180 for CJ there.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19So, CJ will be in the final.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So, another little knock for The Dude Abides
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and you've lost two brains now,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30including the skipper, from the final round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31The Eggheads have still lost the one,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34but there's plenty of time and you can do it, no question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The next subject is Film & TV.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The last one before the final. Who wants this?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40- Felicity. - I think you're up, Felicity.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I think it'll be me. - Felicity? All right.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46OK, Felicity on Film & TV against which Egghead?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And it can be Pat or Lisa.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yeah, I think it's going to be tough either way, but we'll go for Lisa.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- OK. Felicity from The Dude Abides. Lisa from the Eggheads.- Yes!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- THEY LAUGH - No, honestly, I never - never -
0:15:57 > 0:16:00get to play Film & Television, so I don't care what the outcome is.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I don't care if Felicity pounds me into the ground.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I'm playing a Film & Television round. That's all I want.- OK.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Film & TV, Felicity. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I'll take first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Here we go.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21What breed of dog was Eddie in the TV comedy series Frasier?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Um, I remember he's quite a small dog.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I think he was a Jack Russell.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Jack Russell is correct.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Over to you, Lisa Thiel.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Which of these Blue Peter presenters made a five-mile
0:16:38 > 0:16:40free fall parachute jump for the programme?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47See, the one the was sort of known for the free fall parachute jumping
0:16:47 > 0:16:49was Janet Ellis, but quite clearly, not an option.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Something is sort of nagging in my head at Valerie Singleton.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I don't know why cos it seems a sort of slightly ludicrous option.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I don't know why Valerie Singleton is nagging at me,
0:16:59 > 0:17:00but I'll say Valerie Singleton.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Yeah, it wasn't Val.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- That's all right. - It was the great Noakes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- It was? Wow. There you go. - Yeah, it was.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- OK, well, this is handy, Felicity. - Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Which veteran newsreader and war reporter took part in
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2014?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I really don't have a clue on that one, I'm afraid.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I'm being drawn towards John Simpson.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I don't know why, but I'll go with John Simpson.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- No, no. It was Michael Buerk.- Oh.- OK.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Ooh, we've got a Felicity question here for Lisa.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The actress Felicity Jones appeared in which of these films?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think she played Stephen Hawking's first wife, Jane,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- in The Theory Of Everything. - She did and did it brilliantly.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The Theory Of Everything is correct.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- OK, other Felicity.- Yes. - Third question for you now.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54What is the name of the ridge on which the world-famous Hollywood sign
0:17:54 > 0:17:56is located in Los Angeles?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I don't really have any kind of way to narrow it down
0:18:04 > 0:18:07so I'm just going to go right down the middle
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- and go for Mount Lee. - Mount Lee is right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:11 > 0:18:14OK. So, you got two out of three. Let's see if Lisa can as well.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17If you get this wrong, Lisa, you're going to be out.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Who played the Coronation Street character Leonard Swindley
0:18:20 > 0:18:21in the 1960s?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Oh, where, where is Barry when you need him?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Barry, of course, is in the studio and I am here.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38I have a vague recollection that John Le Whatsit was in Corrie.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41But I don't know why I think that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Now, this is dangerous cos I had the same thing with the first question.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49No, on the basis that it is wrong to change your first instinct
0:18:49 > 0:18:51because then you can't blame yourself
0:18:51 > 0:18:52for changing your first instinct -
0:18:52 > 0:18:54you can only blame yourself for being a wally -
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I will go for John Le Mesurier.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I'm afraid it's head in hands at this end of the studio.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- That's all right.- Sorry, Lisa.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Barry, tell us the story. - It's Arthur Lowe.- Arthur Lowe it is.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05That's good for you, Felicity. Well done.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You've won the round against Lisa.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12We sit in a very, very interesting position for the final,
0:19:12 > 0:19:13so come back to us and we'll play it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17What a contest. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It is time for our final round.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's always General Knowledge, of course,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:23 > 0:19:25won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28So, it's Malcolm and John from The Dude Abides
0:19:28 > 0:19:30and Barry and Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You're not going to be abiding any more.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Please leave the studio.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Lily, Felicity and Roderick,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40you're playing to win The Dude Abides £2,000.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Chris, CJ and Pat,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44you're playing to get the Eggheads back on the road
0:19:44 > 0:19:46after an awkward few games.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So, as usual, I will ask you three questions in turn.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You are allowed to confer, OK?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So, Dude Abides, the question is are your three brains better
0:19:57 > 0:19:58than the Eggheads' three over here?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You've certainly ripped into them. Let's see what you can do now.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09OK, straight off the blocks. First question.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13What term is traditionally used for a single diamond set alone in a ring?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Solitaire. - I think it's solitaire.- OK.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- It's not a trick question or anything.- Don't think so.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- No, it's definitely not a singleton. - OK. Are we ready?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31We've rejected two of the answers and we think it's solitaire.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Solitaire is the right answer.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Eggheads, what is the colour of the inner petals of a Tudor rose?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Well, it's the combination of the two roses
0:20:43 > 0:20:47from the War of the Roses - white of York and red of Lancashire.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Well, it's not yellow or pink.- No.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Well, unless white and red make pink? But no.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- No, it's got to be separate colours. - It's white. Yeah, yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- We're going to say white, Jeremy. - White is the right answer.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Back to you.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04In the abbreviation ATF for the US law enforcement agency,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06what does the letter A stand for?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm not familiar with it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14I think it's alcohol,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16tobacco and firearms.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Oh, that would make sense. - Does that make sense?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Kind of one of these agencies that you see on, like, crime dramas.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- Yeah. I think alcohol sounds like a good idea.- Yeah.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Are we OK with alcohol? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32After discussion, we've decided on alcohol.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Alcohol is the right answer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Two to them and one to you, Eggheads, if you can catch up.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41The city of Palo Alto, home to many technology companies,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43is located in which US state?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- It's got to be Silicon Valley. - California, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Palo Alto?- Yeah, that's where it is. - There's no Palo Alto in New York.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55There's a famous tree there, I think.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Yeah, OK.- That's why it's Palo Alto. - The Joshua tree or whatever.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's a very famous tech centre in California.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03California is correct.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05OK, two each. Tied here.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07£2,000, we're playing for.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Maybe one question away from it. Get this right, they could just fold.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Maggie Smith married which actor in 1967?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Any thoughts?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Um...- None of the names are familiar to me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'm pretty sure that Robert Stephens
0:22:28 > 0:22:31was married to a British theatrical dame.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- I don't know which one it was. - OK.- Shall we give it a shot?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Are we happy with Robert Stephens?- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We've decided on Robert Stephens.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Robert Stephens is the right answer. Well done. Well done indeed.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Cos their son is the actor Toby Stephens.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Oh, OK. Thank you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Your third question. Get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Which chemical element has the atomic number 35
0:22:55 > 0:23:00and a name derived from the Greek for stink or stench?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Bromine.- Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- It's bromine. - Bromine's 35, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Arsenic's 33 and chlorine's much, much higher up.- It's higher, yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- It's bromine, yeah.- That's bromine.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Bromine is the correct answer.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So, you've got three each. Very, very tight, this.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Three of you on each team and three correct answers each
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and now we go to Sudden Death and it gets a bit harder
0:23:25 > 0:23:29cos I don't give you alternatives. So, here we go. Good luck, Dudes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Auguste, whiteface and hobo
0:23:32 > 0:23:35are all types of what kind of entertainer?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- I would have thought clown. - Yeah, you were thinking clown.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Well, whiteface.- Whiteface and hobo. - Like Charlie Chaplin was...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yeah. I've never heard of auguste. What's your theatrical...?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I think that... Yeah, I think that sounds right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- We've settled on clown. - Clown is correct.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Eggheads, which brother and sister from a Brothers Grimm fairytale
0:23:54 > 0:23:56come across an edible house belonging to a witch?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Shall we go for Hansel and Gretel, then?- Hansel and Gretel.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01That's Hansel and Gretel.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Hansel and Gretel it is.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Back to you. Sudden Death.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11In April 1888, Winston Churchill became a student at which school?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- It's Harrow.- Yes?- It is.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We believe that the answer is Harrow.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Harrow is correct.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Doing well here. Sudden Death, we're on.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Eggheads, which cartoon strip character
0:24:23 > 0:24:28who first appeared in 1950 pined for the Little Red-Haired Girl?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- That's Charlie Brown.- Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown definitely.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- And that's the name of the strip, yeah?- Peanuts.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35No. You want the character?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Which cartoon strip character...? - He wants Charlie Brown.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40The Little Red-Haired Girl is the one who has written to him,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- but we never see her. - OK. That's Charlie Brown.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Charlie Brown is right.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Challengers, the historic fortress of Masada is in which country?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Could you spell the fortress, please?- M-A-S-A-D-A.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- It means nothing to me. - Well, there's one in...
0:24:57 > 0:25:01There's one in Israel, but I thought it had two Ss.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- With a similar name or you think...? - I'm not sure about the spelling.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- I'm not sure of my own spelling. - But pronounced...?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Did you think it was called Masada? - Masada, yes.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11They were surrounded by the Romans and rather than surrender,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12they all committed suicide.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Could we have the question one more time, please?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18The historic fortress of Masada is in which country?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Any alternatives?- No. - Nothing from me, sorry.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- I think just go with that. - We'll just go for Israel.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Israel is correct.- Oh!- Thank you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Eggheads, which influential 1970 film
0:25:30 > 0:25:33directed by Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell
0:25:33 > 0:25:36stars Mick Jagger as a rock musician named Turner?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Performance?- Performance? - Yeah. That's Nick Roeg, isn't it?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The only other Jagger film was the old Billy the Kid thing.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43- It's not that.- No.- No.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Performance?- Yeah. - Nick Roeg did Performance, so...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48And it's kind of a cult thing, isn't it?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Yeah, yeah.- OK. We're going to say Performance.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Performance is correct.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Does the name suggest it's some...? Javier Perez?- Javier.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- It's obviously somewhere Spanish-speaking.- Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13And it's got to be one of the small countries.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Why do you think that?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Well, cos they usually go for not in the big power blocs.- OK.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Well, you know, there's a dozen to choose from.- Spanish-speaking.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Let's just go for Chile.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Are you changing from Bolivia for any reason or...?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- No, no reason. - SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Have you any...?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56No. Over to you.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Do you know?- Next door.- Peru.- Peru!
0:27:05 > 0:27:10You were certainly absolutely relentlessly zoning in on it,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12but not there. Not there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Oh, dear, Challengers.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15You've played so brilliantly,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18but the Eggheads can now take the contest with one answer.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Got to go for Belfast. - We think that's Belfast.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Have you got it right?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32If you have, the contest is over. If not, we play on.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35They've taken you round the houses here today, Eggheads,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36but you are correct.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The answer is Belfast and we say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40You have won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Oh, the dastardly Perez de Cuellar in Peru!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And you were close. You were so close.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Yes, you look relieved.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57When we are that relieved to win, it's a compliment to the other team.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58- Thank you. - Good quizzers on this side.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01And they took two Eggheads out along the way too.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05So, commiserations to The Dude Abides, with the great team name.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10although they had to sweat today. They do reign supreme over quiz land
0:28:10 > 0:28:12and the jackpot is starting to build up again.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You won't be going home with the £2,000.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17We will take the money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Will it be as fun as this one? We'll see. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23See what happens next time.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Join us to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:25 > 0:28:27have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
