0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And I see you smiling today, Eggheads,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36as if you're expecting something good to happen.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We always smile!
0:00:38 > 0:00:39JEREMY LAUGHS
0:00:39 > 0:00:40They don't.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Terrace.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Now, this team of friends are students at brilliant
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Durham University, and they take their name from Anchorage Terrace,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52the street where they all live. So, let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Lorcan, and I study History.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Richard, and I study Natural Sciences.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Nick, and I study Geography.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm James, and I also study Geography.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Felix, and I study Geophysics.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Lorcan, team, welcome. ALL:- Hi!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And you notice that I said "brilliant Durham" cos that's where I went.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- So I think you're going to win today. - We hope so, yeah.- Do you proud.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Yeah, so, tell us about Anchorage Terrace.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's a very boring street, actually.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We're the only students on the street, actually.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Beside us, there's a 90-year-old granny and two lecturers.- Right.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Is it underneath the big railway line, the viaduct?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It's actually right beside a church.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I haven't really sold it as the most happening street in Durham.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And you're third-years, so you're about to do finals and all that.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Yeah. Just finished my dissertation, actually.- OK. And what was it on?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The 1924 general election.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Right. OK, well, there'll be questions on that, as well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Let's hope so!- OK! Well, on that note, let's get cracking.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54There's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs every day.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55If you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58as you know, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01What's happened, Terrace, is that the Eggheads have done rather well.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05They've won the last eight games. So we have £9,000 on the table today,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09and you can get a bit of paint on the old student house if you win that!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- So, would you like to crack on? - Yes.- All right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Who would like Science?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Richard.- Richard?- Yeah, I'll take this one, yeah.- Richard.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Your surname is Geiger.- Yes, indeed. - That's very, very scientific.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Against which Egghead?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- Barry?- Yeah? Don't mind. Do you think?- Take Barry.- Take Barry on.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Barry loves a bit of science, I have to say.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Richard from the Terrace. You're not worried about this, Barry, are you?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- I love science!- Yes, I know. - I like all subjects!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I thought I could hear you complaining there.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Barry from the Eggheads is the competitor here,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and let's go to the Question Room and start the ball rolling.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So, I'm sorry, Richard, Judith has asked me
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to ask you the question everybody asks you, which is
0:02:54 > 0:02:57whether you are related to the man who developed the Geiger counter.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Erm, I like to pretend that I am. No, it goes with the degree.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I do Biology and Chemistry at uni, so I like to pretend that I am,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05but unfortunately not, no.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08What do you know about him? It's a radiation thing, isn't it?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- So it's 20th century, I guess.- Yeah, it's just to pick up radiation.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Yeah, I like to pretend that, you know, I've used one, but I haven't.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18JEREMY LAUGHS OK!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, if you ever put a Geiger counter near Barry's head,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24the thing would make a terrible noise, I can tell you.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Would you like to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Here we go, then, Science, which is your subject.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Natural Sciences student. Richard, first question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Moray and conger are varieties of which creature?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Erm, I think the answer's eel, so I'm going to go with eel.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50That's right, moray eel, conger eel. Well done.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55I hadn't realised that conger is spelt C-O-N-G-E-R for the eel.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Not conga, like... - For some reason, I thought...!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59LAUGHTER
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I did, too!- Well, it makes that kind of motion, doesn't it?- Exactly.- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Do the conga!- That's the link. - Exactly. Barry, your question.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Which of these is another name for the element mercury?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17It's a wonderful thing, is mercury, and it flows in a magnificent way.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And because of its look and the way that it flows,
0:04:20 > 0:04:21it's called quicksilver.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Quicksilver is right. Richard, your second question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Which of these planets in our solar system has a roughly 24-hour day?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I'm not quite sure with this one. I'm not good with my planets. Erm...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'd probably have to go with...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I think Mars.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Team-mates, is he right? - I think he might be.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Yeah, you're right, Mars is right. Well done!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51That's a hard one! Barry, your question.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55The slow loris, a primate said to have a toxic bite,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57is native to which continent?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, it's not Europe. A slow loris...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I've been in South America recently,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and in all the natural history that I saw there,
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I didn't hear any reference to slow lorises, so I shall go for Asia.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17So you went to South America and you were not bitten by one?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Fortunately not! - Well, you're right, it is Asia.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24So two each. OK, Richard, the all-important third question.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Which chemical element derives its name from the Greek for "lead"?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, I do chemistry, but I can tell you I don't know the answer,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I don't think.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Erm...
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I think I'm going to go with molybdenum.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well, it is not strontium and it's not antimony,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51so you're absolutely right, "mo-LYB-dennum". Or "molyb-dee-num".
0:05:51 > 0:05:55We got different pronunciations, but well done. It doesn't matter!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, Barry, get this one wrong and you're out.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Which element, with the atomic number 55, is often used in atomic clocks?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10They seem to use a lot of different elements in atomic clocks,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and I think the latest atomic clock,
0:06:13 > 0:06:14which apparently only loses
0:06:14 > 0:06:19one second in 15 billion years, is based on aluminium.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But the one here that is most used in atomic clocks must be caesium.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Caesium is correct.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So three out of three for you both. Good round so far.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Not over. We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33And you know what happens, Richard, I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Are you ready?- Yep, ready.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37As reported by many weather stations,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40what specific name is given to the temperature
0:06:40 > 0:06:43at which water vapour reaches saturation point
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and condenses to form water droplets?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Erm... Precipitation point? I'm not quite sure, but...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yeah, precipitation point.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57No, it's dew point. D-E-W.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Or dew point temperature.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Barry, for the round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07The CGS system of units is based on the centimetre, gram and what?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I believe the CGS is centimetre, gram
0:07:11 > 0:07:12and second.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- So it's length and weight and time.- Mm-hm.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Second is correct. Barry, well done. Sudden Death.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And, Richard, sorry, you've been taken from us
0:07:20 > 0:07:23in a most untimely way and you won't be in the final, and Barry will.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26But we are early in the game. Anything could happen.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Please come back to us.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, the Terrace have lost a brain from the final round,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36the Eggheads have lost none so far. Barry is in the final.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38The next subject for you is Sport.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Who would like Sport? - Am I taking it?- Yeah, Nick.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- I'll take that one, Jeremy. - OK, Nick in the middle.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Against which Egghead, Nick?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Er, Nick...- Go for Chris. - I think Chris.- Chris.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Right, so Nick from the Terrace versus Chris.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- JEREMY LAUGHS - If you strike me down, Darth,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01There we are.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I like that! Chris from the Eggheads, Nick from the Terrace, Sport.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Please go to the Question Room.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, Sport, Nick, and would you like to go first or second?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Er, I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19And here is your first question, Nick. Good luck.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The tennis player Serena Williams was born in which year?
0:08:26 > 0:08:33Erm, so, I think she's probably around her mid-thirties now...
0:08:33 > 0:08:39um, which would discount 1975.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Maybe 1987 would make her a bit young...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46um, cos that would be...
0:08:46 > 0:08:4828.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Um, so I think I'll go for 1981.
0:08:51 > 0:08:541981 is the right answer, Nick. Well done.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Here's your question, Chris.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59In snooker, which ball is worth two points?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02It's the yellow.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It is the yellow. Straight there. You played a lot of snooker?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10I like watching snooker, cos it's quiet and it's pure skill.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13That's an interesting definition of what makes a good sport.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17OK, Nick, in 2015, Steven Gerrard announced that he would be
0:09:17 > 0:09:20leaving Liverpool and joining which other football club?
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Erm, well, I know there's been a big flux of players leaving
0:09:30 > 0:09:33to play in the MLS in America,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38so I'm pretty confident that he announced he'd be joining LA Galaxy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41LA Galaxy is correct.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Playing well. OK, Chris, back to you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48In December 2013, which of these South African cricketers
0:09:48 > 0:09:51took his 350th Test match wicket?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, I think it would have stuck in me mind
0:09:58 > 0:10:03if it was Vernon Philander, bearing in mind what "philandering" means.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Er, I don't think it was Morne Morkel.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09That also would have stuck in me mind, so I think it's Dale Steyn.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Dale Steyn is the correct answer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15OK, Nick, over to you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Billy Boston was a leading name in which sport in the 1950s and '60s?
0:10:24 > 0:10:30'50s and '60s maybe isn't my strong point, unfortunately. Erm...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I'm going to go with speedway.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggs?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Rugby league.- Yeah, they say rugby league, and they're right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So if Chris gets this one right, he's in the final round.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Which former heavyweight boxing champion of the world was
0:10:48 > 0:10:53found dead at his Las Vegas home in January 1971, Chris?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well, Sonny Liston was alive after that,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03and so was Floyd Patterson, so it's the late, great Joe Louis.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Joe Louis is the wrong answer. - Oh!- Anyone know?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- Sonny Liston.- Sonny Liston.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13And this sounds as if it was an unexpected death. Was it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I think it was. I think there's still some controversy
0:11:15 > 0:11:17about what the cause of it was.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- So Sonny Liston is the answer there, Chris.- Yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24OK, so two each after three questions.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28And, Nick, we go back to you on Sudden Death. Here we go again.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Which English athlete married Andy Hill in May 2013?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Erm...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Again, I'm pretty confident.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I think she's from Sheffield, which is James's neck of the woods.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I think that was Jessica Ennis.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Jessica Ennis is the right answer. And she became Jessica Ennis-Hill.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Chris, your question to stay in.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Which former Manchester United boss became
0:11:55 > 0:11:59the manager of the Spanish side Real Sociedad in 2014?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Tommy Docherty?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Oh!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Tommy Docherty... When was he manager, Eggs?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Early.- In the '70s.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It was David Moyes, who had a rough old time...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Oh, right.- ..taking over from Alex Ferguson.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So he then basically got the sack and he turned up in Spain.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21David Moyes is the answer. Well done, Nick! You're there!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Sudden Death! You've managed to even it up very nicely with the Eggheads.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Makes it quite a contest.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Both of you please rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32So, on the Tommy Docherty question,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36he has not managed a team since 1988.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Well, that's yesterday in my book.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42It's unlikely at the age of 84 he would be taking over Real Sociedad.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- But I'm not saying anything. - That's ageist.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So, the Terrace have lost a brain from the final round,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50but you sense from the tone over here they're getting a bit tetchy,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53they're getting a bit rattled. Chris is cross.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55The next subject is Geography.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Who would like this?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- James? Do you want to take it? - I'm not confident, but, yeah,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I'll take it.- James? - James will take it.- OK.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Which Egghead would you like to go against? It can't be Barry or Chris.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Who do we think's weak on Geography?- I think Judith.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- I think Judith's quite good in the final, so...- OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13We'd like to take on Judith, please.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Judith on Geography! - I haven't done that for ages.- No.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- It'll be like a little break.- Yeah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22So, James from the Terrace, Judith from the Eggheads,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Geography the subject and the Question Room the place.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Geography, James. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Can I go second, please?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36So, we start with you, Judith. Here we go.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38In which part of England is Birmingham located?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Well, I think it's in the Midlands!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The Midlands is the right answer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, James, over to you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53How many US states have a Pacific coastline?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Erm...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I can't say that I know it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I will go with, er...
0:14:04 > 0:14:05..nine.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Nine.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Were you counting them out in your head?- Er...- Or just guessing?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'll pretend I was counting them out in my head.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I can only count three, so I'm confused here.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19There's California, there's Oregon and there's Washington, right?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20And Alaska and Hawaii.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Oh, I see! Oh, that's a bit... - Alaska, Hawaii.- Alaska, Hawaii, OK.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- California.- So five is the answer, James, sorry.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I couldn't get above three, but, erm, but I forgot Alaska.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Well, we had that the other day, somebody forgot Alaska
0:14:33 > 0:14:36in a question. Judith, your question.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40The South Korean capital, Seoul, stands on which major river?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Well, not the Indus.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And the Yellow Rill..iver is in... I can't say it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52It's in China. So I think it must be the Han River.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I think it must be the Han River, as well. You've done well there.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Two points to Judith.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Because you went second, you're lagging,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02so you've got to get this one right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05In which principality would you be arriving
0:15:05 > 0:15:08if you landed at the heliport in Fontvieille?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Fontvieille...
0:15:14 > 0:15:21I'll spell it for you. Just all one word, James, F-O-N-T-V-I-E-I-L-L-E.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Fontvieille. I don't know. Andorra seems...
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and Liechtenstein are quite...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29obscure.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Fontvieille...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I don't know. Erm...
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I'll go with Monaco.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yes, you've got it right. You've got it right. They're all...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I suppose "heliport" suggests people wearing furs and big sunglasses.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Yeah. - CJ:- Or small.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And small, as well, you're right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47So does Monaco not have an airport, it just has a heliport?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- It's only 0.78 square miles.- Oh! OK, Judith, your question.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54The Skeleton Coast makes up roughly one third
0:15:54 > 0:15:57of the coastline of which African country?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Oh, I think, erm...
0:16:03 > 0:16:04I think that's Namibia.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08If you've got this right, you've taken the round
0:16:08 > 0:16:11because of James's wrong answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- You are right, it is Namibia. - Mm.- Well done.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Judith, you're in the final round. Geography came good for you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- It did!- Sorry, James, there's the peril of going second.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22And you've been knocked out.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Both of you, rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, the Terrace have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31but the Eggheads have lost a brain, as well,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32so it's a pretty tight contest.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35And the last subject before the final is Music,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37which can be music through the ages.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Got to be me, I think.- Felix.- Felix!
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- OK, against which Egghead? And you can have either CJ or Pat.- CJ.- CJ?
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- You sure?- Yep.- OK.- CJ. - OK, the battle of the shirts.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Felix from the Terrace and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:16:55 > 0:16:56please go to our Question Room.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00On Music, Felix, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Erm, I'll go first, thank you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07So, here we go.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09In which year was the Beatles album
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band first released?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20OK...erm...
0:17:20 > 0:17:21They first came to...
0:17:21 > 0:17:25They came over to America in '63, so I'm just trying to gauge
0:17:25 > 0:17:28whether they released this before or after.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I think it was after.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I think I'm going to go for...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36..'67.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Well done. 1967 it is.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Was your dad playing you their music, then, or something?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Er, not really. He's more of a classical fan, I think.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You sound well informed on the Beatles, anyway.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50OK, CJ, your question.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Which of these is a song from the stage musical Guys And Dolls?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I think Climb Ev'ry Mountain is from The Sound Of Music, and Willkommen
0:18:03 > 0:18:07is from Cabaret, so I think it's Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Felix, your question.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Which of these is a ballet with music by Tchaikovsky?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Er, I quite like Tchaikovsky. He's one of my favourite composers.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I'm going to have to go with...
0:18:33 > 0:18:34..Swan Lake.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You paused for a long time there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yeah, I had it in my head but I just wanted to make sure.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But I could be wrong.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42You're not wrong. Swan Lake. Well done. Two out of two.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Playing well. You are good on music.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47OK, CJ, which British singer released the single
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Only Love Can Hurt Like This in 2014?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00HE SIGHS
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I don't know.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07I thought, when you said the title, that it was a female singer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I mean, Sam Smith did have a big year.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13But...
0:19:15 > 0:19:16..I don't recognise that one from him,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19so I'm going to assume it was a female singer.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Paloma Faith did have a number one, but that wasn't a solo hit.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27That was with somebody else.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I really don't know. I'll try Adele.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Yeah, you're struggling. It's Paloma Faith.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, it puts you in a nice position here, Felix.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Get this one right, you're in the final round.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45According to the title of a long-running BBC radio programme,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47what night is music night?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Erm...
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I haven't heard of it. Erm...
0:20:00 > 0:20:01I'm tempted... Oh...
0:20:01 > 0:20:05"Monday night music" has alliteration. I'm tempted by that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Erm... Something's drawing me to Friday.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I don't know if that's cos Top Of The Pops was on Friday. Erm...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I'm just going to go with Monday, just for the alliteration.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19OK, I'm going to have to work out how I break this to Ken Bruce,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22my colleague, who presents it for Radio 2.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's Friday Night Is Music Night.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29They think it's a famous phrase, but I may have to tell them it's not.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Not in Durham.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34"Friday Night Is Music Night!" is how they always start the programme.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So, CJ, you have a little let-off here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39If you get this wrong, you are out, though.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell were members of which band?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Never even heard of Blue Oyster Cult.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- Noel Redding, you say? - Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, well, I've heard of the name Noel Redding.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I'm afraid I couldn't name anybody else in Jimi Hendrix Experience.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So I'll assume they are members - I hope -
0:21:14 > 0:21:15of Jefferson Airplane.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Anyone? Eggheads? - It's the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Jimi Hendrix Experience it is.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Sorry, CJ, on Music you have been cast off the stage
0:21:23 > 0:21:26with a broken guitar.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Felix, you've done it. Well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Two out of three, and you're in the final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So please come back to us. We will play that final.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, a brilliant recovery there, Terrace, really good.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That's like in your third year, you haven't done any work
0:21:40 > 0:21:44and you've suddenly got to pull it out of the hat for the finals.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So, this is what we have been playing towards. It's our own finals here.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:21:52 > 0:21:54allowed to take part in this last round.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That is Richard and James from the Terrace
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and Chris and CJ from the Eggheads.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07So, Lorcan, Nick and Felix, you are playing to win the Terrace £9,000.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Judith, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something we can't really put
0:22:10 > 0:22:15any kind of price on, which is the precious reputation of the Eggheads.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22They're all General Knowledge. You can confer with each other. OK?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25So, the Terrace, the big question is,
0:22:25 > 0:22:30can your brains here defeat these three over there?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- And would you like to go first or second?- Can we go first, please?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Of course you can, and here we go.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40"It's all done in the best possible taste"
0:22:40 > 0:22:42was a catchphrase of which comedian?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51I'm going to be honest here.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I've heard of none of them, apart from Dick Emery.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58"It's all done in the best taste..."
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- "The best taste."- "It's all done in the best possible taste."
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- "The best possible taste." - I don't think any of us...
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Any sort of a...- Any inkling?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Anyone got any sort of...
0:23:11 > 0:23:12I think I've heard of Dick Emery.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's the only one that I think I've heard of.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I'd probably go for Kenny Everett, but I don't know.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Let's do that. Sounds good.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Er, it could be wrong, but Kenny Everett's our answer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Yeah, probably the greatest radio DJ ever.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Kenny Everett is the right answer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Kenny Everett.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35You could get confused with Dick Emery with that question,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- because he had a similar catchphrase. - I'd have said Dick Emery.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- No, he's "Ooh, you are awful..." - "But I like you." Yes, exactly. Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Yeah. OK.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Highgrove House in Gloucestershire is a residence
0:23:48 > 0:23:50of which member of the royal family?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Prince Charles.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Yeah, absolutely. - A famous garden and everything.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03OK. That's Prince Charles.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07It is indeed Prince Charles. Well done.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Terrace, which of these is a type of unleavened bread in Indian cuisine?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Any ideas? - Any ideas?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I like a curry, but I don't know. - I've heard of bread puri.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Puri was the one that stood out for me, but I don't know why.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28No-one's got any actual idea?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Gosht also stands out, actually.- I think I've heard of gosht and puri.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's probably methi!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Shall we go puri?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- I don't know why, I just think gosht.- Gosht?- I don't know why.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- Go down the left again?- I don't want to take responsibility.- Puri?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Er, puri is our answer.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Yeah. It's right. You're playing well!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The guys behind you are impressed back there. My goodness!
0:24:53 > 0:24:58£9,000 on the table here! Suddenly the money is smoking!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Eggheads, which country from outside Europe was given
0:25:01 > 0:25:06a special invitation to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Oh, for goodness' sake! - It's Australia.- Is it?- Is it?- Yes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Australia.- Oh, well done! - Fair enough, then!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Our antipodean friends the Australians have been invited
0:25:22 > 0:25:24to take part, so it's Australia.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27That sounds like the sort of fact you shouldn't know.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30You can't neglect the Eurovision.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Neglect it at your peril. - Australia is the right answer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Very flexible boundaries in Europe! - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:25:35 > 0:25:38OK, we've got some good play going on here.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42So it's two each, and this is the third question.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46The central character of Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's
0:25:46 > 0:25:49influential novel On The Road was based on which man?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Have you read it?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- I have, but I don't know who it's based on.- So tell us about him.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Just quite a crazy sort of guy! Erm...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Any sort of thing he does, particularly?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09William Burroughs or Ken Kesey?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13What's his name? What's the actual character's name?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- You don't know. - I'm looking at William Burroughs.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Do you know who they all are? - I've heard of William Burroughs.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- What was he?- I've just heard the name. I've just heard the name.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Got any idea, Felix? - We've gone left, middle...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That's not the best way to go, I don't think.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33If you think William Burroughs, shall we just go for it?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35William Burroughs is our answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Anyone know this answer? William Burroughs?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- No, it's Neal Cassady. - And who was Neal Cassady?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Er, a well-known beatnik at the time, I think.- Right.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's very hard to guess. I was looking at the name, thinking,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51well, maybe if you were going from Dean Moriarty to one of the three
0:26:51 > 0:26:52you'd go Neal Cassady,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55because it's got an E and an A and it's got a Y at the end.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Maybe. But that's clutching at straws, you know?- Yeah.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Neal Cassady's the answer. So you've got two out of three.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02The Eggheads can take the contest now.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Which TV cook, born in 1947,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10was at one point the youngest woman ever called to the English Bar?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Clarissa.- Clarissa, definitely.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Who's been on the show.- She has. - Yes, she has. And she's died now.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23That's Clarissa Dickson Wright.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- You sound certain. Worryingly, all three of you said the same name.- Mm.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- She's been on the show. - Has she?- Yeah.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Not that we knew that about her then.- Do you think they're right?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Sounds like it. - They sound confident.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The £9,000 was sitting there, moving towards you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I thought, "They're going to win."
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I'm sorry I have to say it is Clarissa Dickson Wright.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- I bet you knew that. Did you? - Not quite.- Not quite? No.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Well, Neal Cassady was...
0:27:58 > 0:28:02I don't know, it's almost unguessable, that one,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05so don't worry, guys. Commiserations. Thanks for playing.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Thank you very much. - I hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11We've got this very odd pattern where, Chris and CJ,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14you're looking like you're partnering up in the back room there.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Oi, don't read anything into that.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I'm afraid it means the Challengers don't go home with the £9,000,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23so we'll take that money and roll it over to the next show
0:28:23 > 0:28:25and maybe even add to it. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27A powerful force at the moment.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have
0:28:30 > 0:28:33the brains to defeat these boffins over here.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37And we're going to playing for £10,000. Till then, goodbye.
