These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
I say possibly, but it is probably, isn't it? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
-Should be. -Undoubtedly. -Yes. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
-Indubitably. -Indubitably, Pat. Thank you. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
They are full of confidence today. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are The Spread Eagles. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Now, this team of friends are all students at the University of York. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
They are keen quizzers | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
and they take their name from the pub in which they won their first quiz. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
So, let's meet them. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello, my name is Josh and I am a medical student. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi, I am Charlie and I am a history student. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I am Harry and I'm an electronic engineering student. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Hello, I'm Steve and I am a biology student. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Hello, my name is Will | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
and I am a politics, philosophy and economics student. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
-So, Josh and team, welcome. Great to see you. -Hi there, Jeremy. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
And normally doing your studies, but today with us? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Yeah, we have taken the day off university to come up here. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Fantastic. And when you are not studying, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
you're down The Spread Eagle, I gather? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
-Pretty much. -What is the pub like? Is it straw on the floor? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Is there fighting there, or...? THEY LAUGH | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
It is a nice place. It is not without its quirks, that's for sure. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Is it one of these ones that's been redone and upholstered | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
or has it got the nice old feel to it? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-There's definitely an old feel there. -That's good. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-You're welcome there, are you? -Yep, very welcome. -Good. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
And how do you do when you quiz there? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
I mean, usually we come top three places and win a couple of beers. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-Yeah. -We're always excited when we get students, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
A, because the youth, am I right? It's always good. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
But also, we like to know that we are big on campus, which I gather... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-Yeah, huge. -Is that right? -Yep. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Is there an Eggheads moment at your university? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-There is probably a society. -JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Yeah, well, we'll have to take this on a university tour, this show, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
one day, won't we? Don't you think? | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-There's a thought. -Yes, actually. It would be fun. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
You would love that, Judith. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-I would. -LAUGHTER | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
See how alive Judith is today? THEY LAUGH | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Just twinkling away there. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
So, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
up for grabs for our Challengers. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
then we roll the prize money over to the next show. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Spread Eagles, I can tell you | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
the Eggheads have won the last four games. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
They had a bit of a knock a few days ago, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
but they've just started to motor now. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
So there's a handy prize of £5,000 on the table. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Would you like to try and win it? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
-That will get us a nice holiday somewhere. -Yeah, it will. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
Or a round of drinks at The Spread Eagle, who knows? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
They'll all be watching as well, I know. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Science. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Do we have a scientist here? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-We do. We have three. -I am a scientist. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-So, who is it? -Steve. -Steve is our scientist. -OK. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Against which Egghead, Steve? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
-Take Judith. -Go for Dave. Stick to the plan. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Yes, stick to the plan. I'll take Dave. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Steve on Science against Dave. That sounds... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
You have really war-gamed it. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
So, The Spread Eagles, Steve. The Eggheads, Dave. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Both of you, to ensure there is no conferring, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
go to our Question Room. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-You are the scientist, Steve, are you? -I am. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I have been picked to do Science. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Studied biology, so hopefully I have got some knowledge there. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
And I gather you are also a magician? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
I do enjoy doing a bit of magic for fun and money back home. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Quite hard work, isn't it? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
You've got to practise card tricks and that kind of thing. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Always playing with cards, always carry a deck of cards. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-Can you make Dave disappear? -I hope so! -Good luck. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Science, and would you like to go first or second? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
I would like to go second, please, Jeremy. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
OK. Dave, you have the first question. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Which of the following celebrated its 25th birthday in 2015? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
25th birthday. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
So, we're looking at 1990. Um... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
Apollo 11 was 1969. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Telstar, I believe, 1962. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
So, I have got to go with the Hubble Space Telescope. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Very good on your dates, Dave. Well done, Hubble it was. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
The space telescope. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-Did you know that, Steve? -I did know that one, yes. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-Should have gone first, shouldn't you? -Should have. Rats! -Never mind. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
The diet of a terrestrial kangaroo is most likely | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
to consist of a large amount of what? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Well, I can't imagine it is shellfish | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
because they are in Australia. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
And I reckon they are... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
..insects. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-So, you think the answer is insects? -Yes. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
It is actually not. They're eating grass. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
I thought they ate ants. That's upsetting. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Um...they might eat... Anyone know? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Anyone, any personal relationships with a kangaroo here? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Anyone? Anyone have a...? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Is there something you want to tell us, Lisa? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Jeremy, you can't say things like that! | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
I will actually keel over one of these days. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Anyone known a kangaroo? Anyone have any dealings with a kangaroo? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
It isn't getting any better. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-I have no knowledge of a kangaroo. -You have no knowledge of kangaroos. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-It is grass they eat. -It is grass, they eat grass. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Kevin has confirmed it. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
You may be thinking of an anteater. STEVE LAUGHS | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
If one of them bounds up to you, it is not an anteater, it is a kangaroo. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
OK. Dave, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
founded in 1959, the main operations of the Charles Darwin Foundation | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
are based in which South American country? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Know what I want to say and I'm going to probably | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
make a mess of this. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
I am going to rule out Brazil. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:41 | |
Chile makes sense to me in terms of the geography. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
But I have got the Galapagos Islands on my mind, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
which means I have to go for Ecuador. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
And Ecuador is the right answer. Well done. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
While we are on this subject, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
somebody told me it is "Chee-lay". "Chee-lay". | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
-Oh, no. -I know. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
And I started pronouncing it "Chee-lay" | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
and then a load of people said it's "Chilly" | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
and I've now lost all confidence. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
-Can you give me... -It's "Chilly". -"Chilly". | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Otherwise it is very affected. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
-It is. -I think it is a bit. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
I had a lecturer... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
When I was doing | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
my modern history stuff, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
one of my courses | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
was on South American history. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
And the lecturer there had lived in South America for many years | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
and she always said "Chee-lay". | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-Yes. -And at the time I found that | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
rather strange, but I've heard | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
a lot of people do it since. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
I think it is one of those where | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
it's probably the proper | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
pronunciation, but not for us. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-We don't say "Peree", do we? -No. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
So, it is the proper pronunciation but it is annoying. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-Yes, basically. -If you're there, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
perhaps when you're there | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
and you're speaking Spanish, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
if that's what they speak, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
then you say it. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
All right. So, from now on, I'm going | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
to say "Chilly" with conviction. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
Right, back to you, Steve. You need to get this one right, really. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
In terms of human limb movement, what is the opposite of extension? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
Ph...ooh. Um... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
See, Josh would have known this one. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
It comes up all the time in his medical studies. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
However, I am going... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
I always said if I was going to guess, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
I would go to the right, so we will go with flexion. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Let me check with Josh. What do you think? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
Yes, flexion. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
Josh likes it and you're right. Well done. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-Flexion it is. -Great stuff. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
OK, Dave, your question. For the round. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Which British inventor developed an early electric light bulb | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
and joined his company with that of Thomas Edison in 1883? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
Don't associate James Wimshurst or Edward Nairne with the light bulb. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
I do associate Joseph Swan with the light bulb, so that's my answer. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
Joseph Swan is the right answer. Well done, Dave. Three out of three. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Sorry, Steve. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Because he started, he's stolen the march there and knocked you out. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
He has. I just cracked under the pressure. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
I'm sorry, you are out and Dave is in the final. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
If you come back to us, we'll play the next round. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
So, as it stands, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
The Spread Eagles have lost a brain from the final round. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
What is happening in the pub now? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
They're all watching, they're all going, "Ugh!", like that. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-They are all shouting, "Kangaroo!" -They won't be happy. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
The Eggheads have lost no brains, but very early days. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
The next subject for you is Film & TV | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
and I am thinking you're going to be good at this. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-Who are we going to get for that? -I believe that is me. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-I think we're sending Josh for this one. -Josh, OK. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
And which Egghead would you like? Can't be Dave. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-Um... -You know who it is going to be, Josh. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Could I go up against... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Kevin, please? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
-You can. -Oh. -Said in hushed tones. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Josh from The Spread Eagles versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
Film & TV. Please go to our Question Room now. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
So, Josh, do we deduce from the fact that you were the one | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
to do Film & TV that you spend a lot of time watching it? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Well, obviously as a medical student, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
I don't have that much time. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
We've sort of gone for the sacrificial lamb tactic here. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
What is the best medical TV drama? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
I do have quite a love of Grey's Anatomy. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Oh, I have watched a bit of that, yeah. I enjoy that. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
It is not the most accurate, but for the drama side, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
it has certainly got a lot of that. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
I think I watched series one, really enjoyed it. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Josh, you can choose. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Can I go first, please, Jeremy? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Here we go with your first question. Good luck. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
Which sitcom, Josh, was set in Maplins Holiday Camp? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Well, none of them are immediately springing to my mind. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
I'd probably have to say Open All Hours sounds | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
a bit more like a holiday camp than any of the other two, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
so that is what I am going to go for, please. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
-I know what you mean. How old are you, Josh? -I am 19. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-Yeah, this may have even been broadcast before you were born. -Hmm. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
It is not Open All Hours. Open All Hours was Ronnie Barker, was it? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-Yep. -And it was about a shop. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Hi-de-Hi! is the answer we were looking for. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Kevin, your question. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Nina Ridge and Philip Avery are best known for presenting what on TV? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
I think I have heard of Philip Avery. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
So, the obvious one... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
I don't actually know as such, but the obvious one, I suppose, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
is weather forecast. I will say weather forecast. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Weather forecast is the right answer. Yes, indeed. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
OK, he is in the lead, Josh, but don't panic yet. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Stephen Merchant plays the useless agent Darren Lamb | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
in which TV comedy series? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Um... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
So, I have seen Extras and I don't believe it is that. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
In The Office, I am not sure he is an agent in that. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
I believe he's just a friend of Ricky Gervais. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
And I haven't actually seen Life Is Short, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
so that is the one I'm going to go for. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-Any of your team-mates know? -I think that's correct, yeah. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-I am a big fan of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. -Yeah. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-No, but it is wrong, actually. It is Extras. -Oh. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
Because Extras is where Gervais is playing the actor | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
and he's always being given useless jobs, isn't he? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
-Yeah. -So, the useless agent is Stephen Merchant. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
Sorry, Josh. Back to Kevin. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
If he gets this right, the round is over. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Kevin, who played Lex Luthor in the 1978 film Superman? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
Well, that was... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
I have actually seen that once or twice, and it is Gene Hackman. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-This was a baddie, was it? -Yeah, someone... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
You'd probably say that Lex Luthor is Superman's number one adversary, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:38 | |
really, over the years. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-His arch nemesis? -Yes. A bald... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
supervillain, effectively. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Love the way that you equate hair loss with evil. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Well, you know. Never rule out such ideas. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Gene Hackman is the right answer. Well done, Kevin. Two out of two. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
No way back, Josh, I am afraid. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
With two wrong answers, you are knocked out as well. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Please return. Rejoin your team-mates, guys. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
So, we've had two rounds and the Challengers have lost two | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
and the Eggheads over here are sitting pretty. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
So, got to just do something now. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Whatever it is Spread Eagles do, you've got to do it. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
The next subject as Food & Drink. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-That is great, isn't it? -Um... | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Cos they are students and... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
This was Josh's specialist subject. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-I believe it is you, Harry. -Me? OK, sure. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-You're going to have to go for it, I'm sorry. -Going to be Harry? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
All right, Harry. And which Egghead would you like? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-Lisa, Pat or Judith? -Judith. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-Judith, do you reckon? -Judith, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
-Go with Judith. -Fine. -Me? -Yes, you. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
They hardly ever pick women for Food & Drink cos they think | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
women are in the kitchen and busy cooking and know all about it. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-We don't tolerate sexism at university. -We believe in equality. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
It's been years since you answered any questions on Food. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
-I think I've hardly ever, ever done it. -Well, it's our pleasure. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
SHE LAUGHS So, OK. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Judith will do it with Harry. The Spread Eagles versus the Eggheads. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Please go to the Question Room. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
So, Harry, you were voted most likely to be a millionaire? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
-Yes, I was, yes. -At school? -Yes. Still hoping. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
And were you voted also, Judith? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
No, we didn't have votes on things like that. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
So they didn't realise what was coming your way? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-No, nobody did. -Did you realise? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-No, of course I didn't. -Until the final moment. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Well, not even then. I was slightly on tenterhooks. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-You know what we're talking about, Harry? -Yeah, I do. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Do you remember the question she was asked? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-I don't, no, unfortunately. -Come on, remind us, Judith. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Who was Eleanor of Aquitaine married to - | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
was it Henry I, Henry II, Henry V or Richard I? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-And it was...? -Henry II. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
That is right, of course. How could I have forgotten that? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
I have seen that clip 100 times. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
And that is what won her a million pounds, Harry. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Anyway, see if you can even up the score now. You're playing Judith. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
She is excited to be doing Food & Drink, as you can tell. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-Would you like to go first or second? -Um... | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
And here we go. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Bay trees, whose leaves are used widely for seasoning in cookery, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
are native to which region? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
Um... I don't believe it is the Great Lakes or the Bay of Bengal. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
I am going to go with the Mediterranean, please. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
It is indeed the Mediterranean. Well done. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Though strangely, I seem to have a bay tree growing in my front garden. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Does that sound right? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
I've certainly been taking leaves off and cooking with them. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-LAUGHTER -Yes, that's right. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
-Is that right, Judith? -Yes. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
They survive frost, so they can grow further north. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-They can survive in a cold climate? -Yes. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Here is your question. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:44 | |
Which of the following are common taco fillings? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
Well, it is Mexican, isn't it? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
You can probably put any of those in them, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
but I think on the whole, you put meat and cheese in. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Meat and cheese is correct. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-Always makes me think of those fast food places in the States. -Yes. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-Not very appetising. -No, absolutely not. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
OK, Harry, your question. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
The flat Italian bread focaccia is traditionally flavoured with | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
olive oil and what? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Harry, is it... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
I don't believe it is nutmeg. Salt and anchovies ring a bell. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
I am going to go with anchovies. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
Yeah, it is not, actually. It is salt. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-Oh, well. -Here's your question, Judith. It's one point each. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
The lemon liqueur called limoncello | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
originated in the south of which country? | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Well, Spain and Italy both have a lot of lemons but limoncello, | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
I think limoncello is Italian, so Italy. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Italy is correct, yeah. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
So, Harry, you need this one. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
What is the main fruit ingredient of a traditional tarte Normande? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:58 | |
Um, I assume it is from Normandy. They grow a lot of apples in | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
Normandy so I'm going to go with apples. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
Apples is quite right, well done. So it's two-two but Judith has | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
a question in hand in one of these rare Food & Drink rounds. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
-Do you do a lot of cooking, Judith? -Yes, I love cooking, actually. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
CHALLENGERS CHUCKLE | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Harry wishes you said that earlier. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
What is the highest number of Michelin stars | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
a restaurant may be awarded? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Well, I think it is three. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Three is the right answer. Well done, Judith. Three out of three on | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Food & Drink with the Michelin stars. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Harry, sorry, she has taken you out there but I think I sense she is | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
quite a player on Food & Drink. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:44 | |
If only all those sport rounds had been Food & Drink, eh, Judith. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-Oh, yes, life would be different. -JEREMY CHUCKLES | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
OK, Josh, a little bit awkward now. Three gone. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
The plan is not going to plan, you could say. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-Did you have a spreadsheet and all of that? -We've got our names, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
the subjects, the Eggheads' names, we've got everything. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-You've got a grid. -A flow chart throughout. -Yeah. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
At what point did it go wrong? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Somewhere in the middle of the first round, I would say. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
OK, you have lost three and the Eggheads over here have lost none, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
which we hate to see here | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
so see if you can get one of them out before the final. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-And it is Politics now. Do we have a politics student here? -We do, yes. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-I study politics for my degree, yes. -OK, Will. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-And which Egghead would you like? -Um... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-Lisa. -Lisa. -Yeah, can I take Lisa, please? -You may indeed. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
Will from The Spread Eagles versus Lisa from the Eggheads. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
And to ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
So we are on Politics, Lisa, don't worry. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
SHE CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
It's easy for you to say, Mr "Look at me with all the answers". | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Yeah, I know, I know. I know we've had... A little tricky the last | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
few days but not to worry, | 0:17:55 | 0:17:56 | |
just saying it always turns around sometimes. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
-Keep soldiering on. -Having a little bit of difficulty | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
but I'm not mentioning it, Will. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
-Would you like to go first or second on Politics? -Can I go first, please? | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
So here we go, good luck. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
Which is the most northerly parliamentary constituency in the UK? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
Funnily enough, we came through Berwick-upon-Tweed on our train | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
journey up to the studio so I am aware of where that is | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
and Belfast, obviously, in Ireland and Orkney and Shetland, Scotland. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Um, so I'm going to go with Orkney and Shetland based on | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
my experience and knowledge. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
Yes, superb. You're quite right. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Orkney and Shetland. Long, long way away. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Lisa, in January 2015 Alexis Tsipras became Prime Minister of which | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
European country? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
They voted him in on the anti-austerity ticket in Greece. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Greece is the right answer with that rather interesting Finance Minister. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-But what's his name? -Varoufakis. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
Varoufakis, the guy with open-neck shirts and leather jackets. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
He's terribly glamorous. He's a frightfully sexy character, I think. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
OK. So Lisa has one | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
and, Will, you have one as well. Your question now. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
Which American politician famously told 12-year-old schoolboy | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
William Figueroa that he'd spelt potato incorrectly during a | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
classroom visit in New Jersey in 1992? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Well, I know Reagan from the '80s. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
So seeing the date is '92, I'm not sure whether that's going to go | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
over. Obviously, Al Gore I know from far more recently. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
And I'm not sure about Dan Quayle. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Um, I think on the basis of knowing Reagan is certainly in the '80s, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
I'm going to go on Ronald Reagan but I am not sure. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Yeah. So Reagan was president from '80 to '88, I think, wasn't he? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
So between '88 and '92, it was George Bush Senior | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
and Dan Quayle was his deputy. Dan Quayle is the answer. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Went into a classroom, put an E on the end of potato | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
with a piece of chalk. But not his only gaff, actually. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
Also said he wanted to go to Latin America cos he'd never | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
been anywhere where people speak Latin. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-THEY CHUCKLE -He didn't?! | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
Yes, he did. So, Dan Quayle. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
OK, Lisa, your question. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott caused | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
caused a political storm in his country in early 2015 when he | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
recommended that which member of the Royal family | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
should receive a knighthood? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
You know how much I love my Australian questions, Jeremy. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
So thank you so much for this little gift of the day. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
I have a feeling it's Prince Philip. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
It is Prince Philip. Well done. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
Hey, we are back on track on Australia. That's good. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Did he actually get the knighthood | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
-in the end? Does anyone know? -Yes. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
He did? And it caused more trouble. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
OK, back to you, Will. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Xavier Bettel became which country's Prime Minister in 2013? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
-Could you spell the surname for me, please? -B-E-T-T-E-L. Bettel. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
I actually don't know this one at all. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
I feel like it could be any of those countries. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
But, on a hunch, I think I would like to go with Luxembourg. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
-Yes, your hunch is brilliant. Luxembourg it is. -That's luck. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
So you got two answers right out of three. If Lisa gets this one, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
she is in the final. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
In 2013, Tristram Hunt was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for which | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
area of government? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Well, assuming he hasn't changed jobs recently, Tristram Hunt | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
is the nemesis of pretty much anyone who has ever stood in the post | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
of Secretary of State for Education. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
Education is the right answer. Well done, Lisa. How about that? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
You're in the final round so we have broken that difficult run. Whoohoo! | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
Will, you have been knocked out. Please come back to us. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
So, this is what we have been playing towards. Is it time for our | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
final round, which as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads, | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
don't take part in this round. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
So Spread Eagles have been knocked about a bit and Josh, Harry, Steve | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
and Will, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave the studio. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
Charlie, you are playing to win The Spread Eagle £5,000. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Don't worry about the other four, they are gone. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
It is just you now and you are playing to win against Pat and Lisa | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
and Dave and Kevin and Judith. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
All five of them who are playing for something maybe a bit more precious, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
which is their reputations. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
It's going to be General Knowledge. You can confer. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
I'm sorry, that doesn't help you. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
So, Spread Eagles, the question is can your one brain defeat these five? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
-It's a lot newer. -Yeah. -It's younger. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
Even it up. Swap round a few players on each side. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
No, you don't need to do... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
Believe me, when there is five of them, you can get confusion | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-and that's what we want. -True. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
So, Charlie, do you want to go first or second? | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
Can I go second, please? Thank you. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
OK, so first question to the Eggheads. Here we go. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
In Greek mythology, who was the father of Poseidon? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-Cronus, Cronus. -Yeah, Cronus. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Yes, Cronus. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
-That was Cronus. -Do you think they are right? -I think they are. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
Cronus is the right answer. I think that's a tough question. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
I mean, would you have known that? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-He's the Titan who gave birth to Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. -Right. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
-I wish I had gone first! -JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Yeah, OK, all right. Maybe we have got a quizzer here. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
All right, this is interesting now. Here is your question. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
UK government ministerial boxes are traditionally which colour? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
I would have thought red would be slightly too Communist. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
Um...black, you know, sounds discrete. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
I'm going to go with black. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
-They are traditionally known as red boxes. -Ooh! | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
So ministers have red boxes, yes. So the answer is red. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
Red is the answer. OK, Eggheads. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Which English cathedral is known as the Ship Of The Fens? | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
-Ely. -Don't think the others are in the Fens, are they? | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Yeah, the others are further, further away. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
The town of Ely is surrounded by damp low-lying land and it is | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
the cathedral at Ely that is known as the Ship Of The Fens. So Ely. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
Ely is the right answer. Well done. It's a city not a town, by the way. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
-Apologies. -We apologise to everyone | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
and that apology can be taken as all-encompassing. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
OK, Charlie, your question. You need to get this right. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:42 | |
In 2000, an image of Charles Darwin first featured on which | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
Bank of England note? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
I wish I could say I have owned a £50 note but I haven't so... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
Pfff! | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
I've owned fives and tens | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
and I don't remember seeing Darwin on either of them. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
-Or have I? -Let me read it again. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
In 2000, an image of Charles Darwin first featured on which | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
Bank of England note? | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
I feel this is one I should really know. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
But I don't for certain. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
-I'm going to go with my gut and just go with £10 note. -You are not sure. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
You were thinking, it wasn't, maybe 50. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
-I could see you veering towards 50. -Yeah. -You're right, though. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Well done. It is £10. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
So you would have seen it but it is hard to remember which note | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-these things are on. -Yeah. -He's still there, isn't he, Eggs, or not? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-He's still on the 10? -Er... -Don't know. -I feel I see... -I think so. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -Crazy beard. -Yes, yes. -Hummingbird. -Hummingbird. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
Right, so where are we? | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
You have got two, Challengers have got one. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
If you get this one right, Eggheads, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
cos Charlie let you go first, the contest is over. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
John Witherow became the editor of which daily UK newspaper in 2013? | 0:26:08 | 0:26:14 | |
-I'm reasonably sure it's The Times. -Yeah, I thought it was. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
-I don't think it's either of the others. -Yeah, The Sun changed | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
-relatively recently. -Yeah. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
I was thinking before the choices came up, that he was something | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-to do with The Times. -Yeah. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
Either The Times or The Sunday Times and it said daily paper | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-so it's The Times. -Yeah, it's The Times. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
I don't think it's The Sun. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I think it is The Times, yeah. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
OK. We'll go with The Times, Jeremy. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
If you're right, the contest is over. What do you think, Charlie? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
-Do you think they are right? -I can't say I am sure on this one. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
-He was Sunday Times at some point, wasn't he? -Yeah. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
The guy who went on to run BBC News, James Harding, was replaced by, | 0:26:54 | 0:27:00 | |
you're quite right, John Witherow. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
John Witherow was indeed The Times editor. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
It's those beastly red boxes. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
HE CHUCKLES We don't see them often. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
-I suppose, the budget box, is that a red box? -Hmm. -They are all red. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Or is that different...? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
-Mmm. More brown, though, isn't it? -No, it's red. -Is it red? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
-It's just old. -OK. All right, | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
you can see how we can almost get into a fight over what colour | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
George Osborne's box is. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
Anyway, Charlie, I am sorry about that. Sorry about that, Charlie. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
You've just, just, got ahead of you in the last round. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
All of them there, when they are all firing is quite difficult. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
And Lisa has got her confidence back, I can tell. So...commiserations. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
Commiserations, Spread Eagles. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
Great to see a young team in from York University. The Eggheads | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
have done what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
over quizland. We can call it a bit of a run. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
It's not a walk any more, it's a run. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
It may even become a sprint, who knows? But you're on at the moment. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
See if you can get ten in a row. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
That means you won't be going home with the £5,000. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
The money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
Who will beat you? Well, let's see. Maybe the next team will. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
Maybe they will have the brains to defeat them. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 |
