0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can 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 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are The Heralds.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now, this friends and family team quiz together at The Herald
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Snooker Club in Milton Keynes, so let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Emma and I'm a freelance translator.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Jake and I'm a library book mover.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Alyson and I'm a care worker.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Matt and I'm a mental health team manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Ed and I'm a senior reporting accountant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58So, Emma and team, welcome.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Tell us about the place where you all quiz, Emma. What's it like?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04It's... Yeah... I mean, I suppose I should say on TV it's nice
0:01:04 > 0:01:08before we get banned from ever playing there again.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Do you quiz together there?- Yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Yeah, we're a team in Milton Keynes Quiz League
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and we're there every week.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Oh, I see, so you are - well, proper quizzers, I'm sensing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Eggs, what do you think?- Definitely. - They love a good contest here.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24OK, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:24 > 0:01:27for our challengers. If you fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:27 > 0:01:30we roll the prize money over to our next show.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34So, The Heralds, I can tell you the Eggheads are on a bit of a spurt,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37a run, a streak. They've won the last nine,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40so that means there's £10,000 to play for today,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and they're going to be cheering you on at The Herald Club as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So good luck, and the first head-to-head battle is on the subject
0:01:46 > 0:01:50of Food And Drink. Who would like this?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51I think that's you.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Yeah, that'll be me. - OK, Alyson.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58And which Egghead would you like to take on? Can be any of them.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- What about Barry?- Barry.- Yeah, I was thinking of going for Barry.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Yeah, go for Barry?- OK, then. Apparently, I'm going for Barry.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09OK, so it's Alyson from The Heralds versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Food And Drink the subject, and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15would you please both take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So Food And Drink, Alyson. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'll go first, please.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here we go with your first question, good luck.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30The style of white wine called Liebfraumilch is traditionally
0:02:30 > 0:02:31made in which country?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Right, erm...I'm sure it's German.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So I'm going for Germany.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And you're absolutely right, well done.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Barry, what type of cured sausage
0:02:45 > 0:02:49takes its name from Latin for "to salt"?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I do believe that is salami.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It is salami, well done.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59OK, back to you, Alyson.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02In Cantonese cuisine, what foodstuff is marinated
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and roasted to make char siu?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's spelt C-H-A-R and then S-IU.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Um, I'm not sure on this one at all.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm going to go for aubergine.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Do you know, Barry? - It's pork.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Alyson, that's wrong, I'm afraid, it's not aubergine, it is pork.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So Barry can take the lead here.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Gjetost, a brown cheese with a fudge-like texture
0:03:31 > 0:03:33originated in which country?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39May I congratulate on your pronunciation there cos I've
0:03:39 > 0:03:41never known how to pronounce that cheese.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44But I do believe Gjetost is from Norway.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It is from Norway, thank you,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I was given expert counsel on the pronunciation of that.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So he's in the lead, Alyson,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55and that means you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59The aromatic dried flower buds of the tree Syzygium aromaticum
0:03:59 > 0:04:02are more commonly known as what spice?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Right. It's not saffron cos that's crocuses.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Cloves are little...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm going to go for cloves.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You've done really well, it is cloves, yeah. Excellent.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Barry, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27What is the name of the herb that has leaves with a cucumber-like aroma
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and taste and bright blue flowers?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I know it's not marjoram.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I'm reasonably certain that is borage.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43The correct answer is borage.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Barry, three out of three.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Sorry, Alyson, he does quietly like his food.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52We never see him eating but we think it is going on.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54So you've been knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Barry is through to the final but it's very early days,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00keep your chin up, team. Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So as it stands The Heralds have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet
0:05:07 > 0:05:09but change of tactic at this point or just steaming ahead?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- I think we'll... - Keep going.- Yeah.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Can't just try and change it for everything that goes wrong.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Not cut and run yet, for sure. The next subject is Arts And Books.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So, Emma, who wants this, do you think?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- This is you.- After you it would probably be me.- Yeah.- You or me.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Yeah, that's going to be me.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32OK, Emma, and which Egghead would you like to take on? Anyone but Barry,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- as people often say. - Thank you for that(!)
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- CJ?- Yeah, I'll take CJ.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42OK, is that just personal grounds, you want to get into the close
0:05:42 > 0:05:45proximity of the great CJ or you think he's got a weakness?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Couldn't possibly admit on camera, but maybe.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You are maybe an admirer.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54OK, Emma from The Heralds versus the ever-popular CJ from the Eggheads.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Please go to our Question Room.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Emma, you've recently graduated. - Yes.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- And where from?- Lincoln College, Oxford.- OK. And your degree?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- French.- So there's a bit of arts and books in there, for sure.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Ideally, yeah, if you could pull up some 20th century French theatre
0:06:12 > 0:06:14in this that would be great.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK. Good luck against CJ. Arts And Books.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Emma, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'll stick with the trend and go first.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And here we go, good luck.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30How many people are shown in Vermeer's painting
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Girl With A Pearl Earring?
0:06:34 > 0:06:40Now, if I'm thinking of the right painting, which I think I am...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43It was on the poster for the film of the same name and I think it's
0:06:43 > 0:06:49just a kind of shadow close up of the titular girl, so I'll go one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Yeah, one is right, it is just the girl.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54CJ,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Pomona Sprout and Poppy Pomfrey
0:06:56 > 0:07:00are members of staff at which fictional educational establishment?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Not sure but I think there's a Pomfrey who works at Hogwarts
0:07:07 > 0:07:09so I'll try Hogwarts.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Yes, exactly. The Harry Potter series, you're right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16On to you, Emma.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Imari porcelain was originally exported to Europe from which country
0:07:20 > 0:07:22in the late 17th century?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Imari, Emma, is spelt I-M-A-R-I.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Imari...
0:07:30 > 0:07:35I mean...just from a linguistics perspective,
0:07:35 > 0:07:40that doesn't sound particularly Arabic so I wouldn't say Egypt.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Kind of sounds Japanese so I'll go with Japan.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Japan is quite right, well done.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50CJ...
0:07:50 > 0:07:54which vlogger's debut novel, Girl Online, became the fastest-selling
0:07:54 > 0:08:00book of 2014 after selling over 78,000 copies in its first week?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, the only name there I've heard of is Zoe Sugg.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14I'm not up on my vloggers, I've never watched a vlog, so...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, dear.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm just wondering if I know the name Emma Blackery from anywhere.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Alfie Deyes rings no bells whatsoever.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25So I'm going to discount Alfie Deyes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And, as I always do if it comes down to a 50/50,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'm going to pick the wrong one.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I really don't know this
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but it's a name I've heard of so I'll try Zoe Sugg.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Zoe Sugg is the right answer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41She was more commonly known as Zoella.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44CJ might have heard that name.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You having a bit of a confidence crisis, CJ?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48No, I'm just awful.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You've had some peaks and troughs recently, shall we say?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- I don't remember any peaks. - There weren't peaks, OK.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So you picked a good moment here, Emma.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Which American author won the 1962 Nobel Literature prize,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05beating the shortlisted British authors Lawrence Durrell
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and Robert Graves?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I am awful at American literature.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I think Miller did get it but it was earlier.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think Steinbeck would have been earlier.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25With no great confidence I'm going to go Eugene O'Neill.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27See if CJ knows this one, do you?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I wouldn't have gone for Miller, I'd probably have gone for Steinbeck.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yeah, Steinbeck is the right answer.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36So two out of three and we see now whether CJ can take the round.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Kingsley Amis dedicated his first novel Lucky Jim to which poet
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and close friend?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Wow.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Absolutely no idea. Not read the book.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Unfortunately, I don't know the date of Lucky Jim.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I think it was in the...
0:09:57 > 0:10:02I want to say early '60s but I'm not at all sure about that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Betjeman, I think, was Poet Laureate up to '84.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Ted Hughes was later.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I'll discount Betjeman cos I just don't think it would have been him.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Ted Hughes, decent enough chap, but maybe
0:10:18 > 0:10:22he wanted it to be a little more controversial, he wanted to...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26put forward Larkin, who was never Poet Laureate, so I'll try Larkin.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33I would have thought Larkin kept himself to himself a bit, didn't he?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Didn't like other people's company very much.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38But you are right, it is Philip Larkin.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Maybe you've broken that duck at last, CJ.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You are in the final. Sorry, Emma, you've been knocked out there,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- on the wretched American literature question.- Yeah.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Please both of you come back to us and we'll play on.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53All right, The Heralds have lost another brain from the final round.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- The Eggheads are still - I won't say sitting pretty...- I am!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59..cos that would be an exaggeration, but they're certainly sitting.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01The next subject is Sport.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Whiplash. - Yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Ed.- Ed, on the end.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Our accountant, OK. Against which Egghead?- It's gotta be Chris.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Yeah, Chris. - Going to be Chris.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You're having so much sport at the moment.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Ed from The Heralds versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and to ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, Ed, we're on Sport. Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31First, please.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Here's your first question. In which decade did Damon Hill win
0:11:37 > 0:11:40the Drivers' Formula One World Championship?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I used to watch it back then so I think it's 1990s.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49100% right, well done.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Chris, what term is used for anywhere beyond the playing area
0:11:54 > 0:11:56of a golf course?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Well, the end zone's American football.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05In touch, no.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Outside of the playing area of a golf course is out of bounds.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It is indeed, well done.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13One each. Back to you, Ed.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Vincenzo Nibali won which major international sporting event
0:12:17 > 0:12:19in July, 2014?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23His name is spelt N-I-B-A-L-I.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I know it wasn't the British Grand Prix.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33He doesn't sound like a horse. So I'll go for the Tour de France.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34HE LAUGHS
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I love your logic.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Tour de France is quite right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Chris, over to you for your second question.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Which player founded the Women's Tennis Association in 1973?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54That's a British thing so it wouldn't be Billie Jean King,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55she's American.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Virginia Wade, I think.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- It's not her. It is Billie Jean King.- Is it?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Billie Jean Moffitt, originally.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Yeah, she's the campaigner of the three.- Oh, right.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Got it wrong, so that means, Ed,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14you are a question away from the final round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Maybe the tide is turning for our challengers.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Here's your question.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23In 1938, which Test cricket team did England defeat
0:13:23 > 0:13:27by the record-breaking margin for an innings and 579 runs?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I don't know that one, to be honest. I'll guess West Indies.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38No, Australia is the answer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42So you're stuck on two. Let's see if Chris can get this right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Miruts Yifter, known as "Yifter the Shifter",
0:13:46 > 0:13:50won two Olympic gold medals in which sport in 1980?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yifter. Yifter the Shifter.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Well, obviously, he was a speedy individual.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05So that would incline me towards the most obscure of the three -
0:14:05 > 0:14:07speed skating.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Athletics is the answer.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Chris, you've been knocked out. Well done, Ed.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well done, challengers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Things are moving on this side of the studio now.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19You've emerged triumphant and, Ed, you will be in the final round.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Both of you, please rejoin your team-mates.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26As it stands, The Heralds have lost two brains from the final round,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29the Eggheads have lost one, so what's going to happen now?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's Music for you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Who wants this?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- So it's me or Matt. - I think you should do it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I think it's probably you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I'm not good on music. - No, it'll have to be you.- Me, then?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Looks like it's me, then. - OK, Jake on Music.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Which Egghead would you like? You've got two to choose from -
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Lisa and Pat.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54It depends what comes up. He's not so good on the modern.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I would trust Lisa to be better on music.- Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- I think Pat.- I'm going against Pat, it looks like.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Very sophisticated team talk there. OK, Jake from The Heralds versus Pat.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07They've got it all mapped out on their grid here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09So it's Music, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12please take your positions.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, we're on Music, would you like to go first or second?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I'll stick with the trend, see what happens. I'll go first.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Jake, good luck, pitching Pat out.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Which term refers to the instrumental introduction to a ballet or opera?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Coda usually comes at the end.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I believe it's the overture that starts it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Overture is the right answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Pat, the singer Al Green,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45born in 1946, is most associated with which type of music?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53He's a giant of soul music.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55He's a preacher in Memphis.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And a big soul singer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Soul is right answer. They call him The Reverend, is that right?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He's actually an ordained minister.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08And he spent the last few decades pretty much being a minister.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09So you can go along to his church
0:16:09 > 0:16:13and he might suddenly burst into Say A Little Prayer For Me.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Perhaps! - If we're lucky!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Jake, in which year did Eminem release the album entitled
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The Marshall Mathers LP 2?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I know he's had a resurgence recently but I'm not sure
0:16:31 > 0:16:34if that's one of his newest albums.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I don't think he was around as early as 1993
0:16:36 > 0:16:39so I'm going to go down the middle and say 2003.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43No. 2013.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Pat, to take the lead.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Which Rolling Stones song includes the lines
0:16:49 > 0:16:52"When I'm watching my TV and that man comes on to tell me
0:16:52 > 0:16:54"how white my shirts can be"?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03When you read out the lyrics, the first thing that came to my mind
0:17:03 > 0:17:05was Satisfaction.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It's Only Rock And Roll... Honky Tonk Women...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I think I'll have to go for Satisfaction.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And you're quite right, yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20So he moves into the lead, Jake.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Here is your next question.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Acknowledgement, Resolution, Pursuance and Psalm are the titles
0:17:27 > 0:17:31of the four parts of which album recorded in 1964
0:17:31 > 0:17:35by the jazz musician John Coltrane?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Not sure on this one at all.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Vaguely heard of most of those.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'm just going to have to choose one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Acknowledgement, Resolution, Pursuance, Psalm...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57A Love Supreme.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59See if your team-mates know. Is he right?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I think it's Blue Train. - What do you think, Eggheads?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Tough question.- I'd have guessed Blue Train but I don't know.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Blue Train is a Coltrane album, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But you were right. Well done!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15So everyone else in the studio would have got it wrong
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and you got it right - A Love Supreme.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20So you're level, but Pat has a question in hand.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24What item in a drum kit comprises a pair of cymbals linked to
0:18:24 > 0:18:27a foot pedal used to bring them together?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Again, my first instincts are hi-hat, but...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37could I be wrong?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I know that cymbals are one of the tests if you're buying
0:18:42 > 0:18:46a high-end record deck and speakers, cymbals are one of the...
0:18:46 > 0:18:51the, uh, the sounds that audiophiles get excited about.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I think it's a hi-hat.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Yes. Makes the sound...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58HE MIMICS RHYTHMIC CYMBALS
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Hi-hat.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Gives you the round, Pat, well done. You're in the final. Sorry, Jake.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Never mind. - You've been knocked out.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07If you come back to us we will see what happens in that final round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15It is time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:19:18 > 0:19:20to take part in this round,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23so that's Emma and Jake and Alyson from The Heralds
0:19:23 > 0:19:27and also Chris over here, not looking too cheerful, from the Eggheads.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Please leave the studio.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34OK, Matt and Ed, you're playing to win The Heralds' £10,000,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36so we are now in five figures.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Barry, CJ, Pat and Lisa, you're playing for something that money
0:19:39 > 0:19:41can't really buy, it's that precious -
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm talking about the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49They're all going to be general knowledge, you can confer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So, The Heralds,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55the question is, can your two brains beat these four over here?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I think we're going to stick with the game plan and go first,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03try and keep the psychological advantage of being ahead.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Here we go. The seeds of which of these trees are said to spin
0:20:09 > 0:20:12like helicopters as they fall to the ground?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19That's not horse chestnut. It's sycamore. Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We're going to go for sycamore, please.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Sycamore is the right answer, well done. You're off the blocks.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26OK, Eggs,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30the heir to the throne of which country has the title Prince
0:20:30 > 0:20:31or Princess of Orange?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Netherlands.- Netherlands. - Netherlands, I think.- I hope so.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38That's the Netherlands, Jeremy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It is Netherlands, well done.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45OK, back to you. Which film actress married the rock musician
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Benji Madden in 2015?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58No, I'm not sure on that one. Erm...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59It's not Paltrow.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03It's not cos they've talked about her recoupling again, haven't they?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So I don't think it's her.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10And I think I have seen something about Cameron Diaz getting married.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13We're not 100% sure but we're going to go down the middle
0:21:13 > 0:21:14and go for Cameron Diaz.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Absolutely right, well done.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Second question, Eggs.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Which prison is located on the Isle of Wight?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Parkhurst. The other two are London, aren't they?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That's Parkhurst.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It is indeed.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Two out of two for you both. Third question to the challengers.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Pressure on, I know.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40What is the English translation of "Vostok",
0:21:40 > 0:21:45the name of the first series of Russian manned spacecraft?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Might be East...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I suspect we could probably do with one of our language experts
0:21:53 > 0:21:56who're sat behind us at the moment.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- What do you reckon? - East.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- OK.- That's what I'm thinking cos they were in the east...
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Without any real logic, we're going to go down the middle again
0:22:09 > 0:22:10and go for east.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I can see that Emma knows back there. Emma, tell them, are they right?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Yeah, they are.- They are right, well done, you got it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21And so Vladivostok is, I guess, the easternmost part of Russia,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- right up against Alaska. - "A fortress of the east."
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Something like that.- Yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So they got three out of three.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31That's pretty handy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Get this one wrong, Eggheads, they've got £10,000.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What was the name of the small cylindrical beads
0:22:37 > 0:22:41made from shells used by the Native Americans as money?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Wampum.- Wampum's money.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48It's wampum.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- You have a purse for your wampums. - Mugwump isn't money.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Hominy's some sort of food, isn't it? Hominy and grits?- Yes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58A mugwump is a party, I think,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01where you give your most expensive possessions to someone else.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Wampum's currency.- All I know about the mugwumps is that's what
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The Mamas & The Papas were called before they were
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- The Mamas & The Papas.- Wasn't there a political party called the Mugwumps
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- at some point in the 19th century? - Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Right, so wampum?- Yes.- Right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17My learned colleagues believe that's wampum.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20You were straight there, I must say. Impressive.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Are you right, though?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24If you're wrong...it's the end.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Good job we're not, then, isn't it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28No, you're right, you're not wrong.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Wampum is the right answer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Three out of three. I'm sorry, I must apologise on their behalf.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So we to go sudden death.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- It was never going to be easy, was it?- No.- But there's still £10,000.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Everything that's gone before doesn't matter. You can win.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Here's your question. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52In computing, the abbreviation "DOS" can stand for Disk Operating what?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Is it system? - I think so.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Yeah? Happy with that? - Yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00System.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02System is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Eggheads, again you're on the defensive.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Clamdiggers are a type of what item of clothing?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Trousers, aren't they?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- I think.- Clamdiggers.- Are they?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20The only thing that could dig a clam out...I'm thinking maybe shoes
0:24:20 > 0:24:21but I'm not...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I think it's a reference to the fact that one wears...
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I think it's a little bit like pedal pushers, one wears a slightly
0:24:27 > 0:24:29shortened version to be on the beach
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- where one would need to be digging the clams.- Ah!
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I don't know that, I am guessing.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- CJ:- I've got nothing on this, I'm afraid.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Have you got some inkling that you've heard that before?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Well...- Or are you trying to make the name fit the...?- No, no, no,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- I think I've heard it before. - That's good enough for us.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50The inkliest inkling that ever inkly was.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54So what would you say, is it shorts or beachwear?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I think they're just a sort of, you know,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59cropped type of trousers, kind of three-quarter length.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I don't know that.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05We've got nothing else to go on so the glory is all yours, Lisa.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I don't like this, I don't like this at all.- Oh, have faith.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11There's a scene in Red Dwarf where the Cat says,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13"You're going to go with one of my plans?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16"What happens if we all get killed? I'll never hear the last of it!"
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Very much how I feel.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21In the absence of a better answer we're going to have to go with mine,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and we think clamdiggers might be a type of trousers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The thing about Lisa is when she knows, she sounds uncertain
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and when she's uncertain I don't think you say anything.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33So for you to even say "I think it might be trousers," I think,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Lisa, you are pretty sure it was.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's going to be interesting to see whether you overruled her.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Thank goodness you didn't, trousers is right.- Oh, well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46The £10,000 sits there in front of us.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You're as close as you'll ever be to winning it,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51unless you win it. And you still can.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55£10,000, sudden death, this is what Eggheads is all about.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00In 2012, the first annual Festival No 6
0:26:00 > 0:26:02took place in which Welsh village?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I've never heard of it.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Have you ever heard of it? - Nope.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Erm...in a village.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Village in Wales.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- I'm just trying to think of any... - Yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24..Welsh villages that it might be in.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35All I can think of is towns.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Betws-y-Coed? Is that a village?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- I've no idea.- Betws-y-Coed. - Betws-y-Coed?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Is that how you pronounce it?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We have absolutely no idea.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We're struggling to think of any Welsh villages
0:26:48 > 0:26:51but we're going to go for Betws-y-Coed.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Betws-y-Coed is the wrong answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- The Festival No 6 reference is - who knows this? CJ:- The Prisoner.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- The Prisoner, the TV show. And he was Number 6.- Before my time.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And this is where it was filmed, and it was...?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Portmeirion.- Portmeirion.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11OK, so Eggheads now have a little bit of an advantage here in the sense
0:27:11 > 0:27:13that they've got a question in hand.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15If they get this right the contest is over.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19In Arthurian legend, what was the name of the seat at the Round Table
0:27:19 > 0:27:22that was kept vacant for whoever should accomplish
0:27:22 > 0:27:24the quest for the Holy Grail?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Siege Perilous.- That's the empty seat.- That's the empty seat.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- The Siege Perilous. - Mm-hm, Siege Perilous.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Again, my learned colleagues inform me that is the Siege Perilous.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38The correct is the Siege Perilous.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Touch and go with the clamdiggers.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53What we needed was for Barry to be more persuasive on the clamdiggers,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55cos you had an idea of shoes, Barry.
0:27:55 > 0:27:5940 years of marriage have told me never to argue with a woman.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02When it comes to fashion there is no way I am listening to Barry!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- With apologies, Barry. - I just thought, "Oh, here we go,
0:28:06 > 0:28:07"the shoes are coming out."
0:28:07 > 0:28:11But unfortunately it didn't last long enough so commiserations, Heralds,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16They're playing really well at the moment, they've got a run on.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- We can call it a run now, can't we? - Yes.- You've gone over £10,000.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It means you won't be going home with that
0:28:20 > 0:28:22so we roll it over to the next show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Eggheads, impressive, just lost Chris this time.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:30 > 0:28:33to defeat the overpowering Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38£11,000 will be up for them if they do. Till then, goodbye.
