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 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:35- They are the Eggheads. How are you feeling?- Brilliant.- Top of the world.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37"Top of the world," says Barry at the end.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Challenging our resident quiz champions today are

0:00:39 > 0:00:41We Don't Need No Education.

0:00:41 > 0:00:46This team of friends regularly quiz together at the Mini Bar in Glasgow.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47So let's meet them.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Paul and I'm a science and AV technician.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Martin and I'm a PhD student studying physics.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, my name's Craig. I'm a home support worker.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, my name's Gordon and I'm a principal teacher

0:00:59 > 0:01:00of physical education.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, my name is Sam and I'm a physics teacher.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, Paul and team, welcome. Good to see you.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05- ALL:- Thank you.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I gather you set the questions, Paul. Is that right?- Yes.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yes, I have my moments.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Do you find you learn stuff by setting questions?

0:01:13 > 0:01:18You kind of gauge stuff. The level of intelligence for each place.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Oh, really?- Some are lower than others.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24So certain hostelries in Glasgow where you set them at a lower level.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Quite a lot of them are lower level. - LAUGHTER

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Don't identify them, we'll lose them.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31We'll lose them from the audience.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- You're all quizzers, I know, aren't you?- Yes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- What are his questions like? Are they tough?- They can be tough at times.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Random.- They're random.- Very much.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Why are you called We Don't Need No Education?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Which, of course, is a quote from Pink Floyd.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yes, three of us work in education.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Martin is in education and Craig can spell education.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Well, that's a good reason, yeah. So here we go.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:55 > 0:01:58for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:58 > 0:02:01the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03So, We Don't Need No Education,

0:02:03 > 0:02:04the Eggheads have won the last six games.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08They are putting a run together here. They're beginning to swagger.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11You need to stop them. If you do, you'll win £7,000.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Would you like to go ahead and try? ALL:- Yes, please.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14All right.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Whose round is this?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- That's not me. - I'll suppose I'll take it.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- That's Sam.- Do you think, Sam? - Sam on the end?- Sam's the taker.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- OK. Physics teacher.- Yes.- P and a C and an S. Physics, politics.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Yes, there's overlap for sure.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Who would you like to go against? Anyone of the five.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- I think Dave maybe.- I think Dave.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Dave.- Dave.- OK, Dave.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40The word Dave has come back down the line.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Dave, I think it is going to be you.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Is that all right? - It's going to be me.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Sam, from We Don't Need No Education versus Dave from the Eggheads.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49And just to ensure there's no conferring, guys,

0:02:49 > 0:02:52take your positions in our Question Room.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Good luck. Sam against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Good luck, Dave, as well. - Thank you.- Here we go.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- So, Sam, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Here's your question.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Whom did David Cameron succeed as

0:03:08 > 0:03:12leader of the Conservative Party in 2005?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I'm pretty sure it's not Michael Howard.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25And I know William Hague was in the running.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28I'm going to go for William Hague, I think.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Yes, so after they lost in '97, John Major resigned,

0:03:31 > 0:03:33William Hague took over.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38After he lost in 2001, Iain Duncan Smith took over but he didn't last

0:03:38 > 0:03:41very long and it was Michael Howard who fought the 2005 election

0:03:41 > 0:03:42as Tory leader.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44And then he was replaced by David Cameron.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46So Michael Howard is the answer.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, Dave, your question.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52In 2013 a Liberal-National coalition came to power, putting

0:03:52 > 0:03:56the Labor Party in opposition after a federal election in which country?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Can you just repeat the question just so I can get it

0:04:02 > 0:04:04clear in my head? Sorry about this.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08In 2013 a Liberal-National coalition came to power, putting

0:04:08 > 0:04:12the Labor Party in opposition after a federal election in which country?

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Um, I've got to go Australia on that basis.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yes, Australia is the right answer.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Sam, back to you.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Who told undercover reporters in 2015 that his usual fee for

0:04:24 > 0:04:29half a day's work was somewhere in the region of £5,000 to £8,000?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35I believe that was Malcolm Rifkind.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yes, Malcolm Rifkind is the answer.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Nice work if you can get it, Eggs.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Dave, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your second question.

0:04:43 > 0:04:49Which singer made an unsuccessful bid to become Irish president in 1997?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55I'm sorry, but Van Morrison!

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Right, I don't believe it's Van Morrison.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Um, Johnny Logan, I think he's Australian anyway

0:05:07 > 0:05:10but has represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14But I seem to remember under her real name of Rosemary Brown

0:05:14 > 0:05:17that Dana was very active in Irish politics.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19That's my answer, Dana.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Dana is right, Dave. And Van is British, isn't he?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- He's from Northern Ireland. - Yes, he is but it's just, as I said,

0:05:24 > 0:05:28it's just the thought of him, his presidential campaign,

0:05:28 > 0:05:32that has conjured some strange images in my head.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- He'd be in a bad mood throughout. - Yes, he would!

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Somebody told me their friend was

0:05:37 > 0:05:40working in a hotel in Northern Ireland.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43They were playing Van Morrison on the speakers and one of the guests said,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46"Would you mind turning the music down?" And she said, "Yeah, sure.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49"I mean, to be honest, a lot of people have complained about it."

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Unfortunately, the music was by Van Morrison

0:05:51 > 0:05:55but the guest who was asking was Van Morrison as well.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59OK, over to you, Sam. You need to get this one right.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Who became the youngest MP in the House of Commons

0:06:01 > 0:06:05when she was elected to Parliament in 2010 at the age of 25?

0:06:11 > 0:06:16I'm not sure but on the basis of the person I've actually heard of,

0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm going to go for Louise Mensch.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yes, she would have been Louise Bagshawe when she was elected

0:06:20 > 0:06:22but she's not the answer, in fact.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Nor is it Gloria. The answer is Pamela Nash.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dave, you've won the round. Back on track. Sorry, Sam,

0:06:28 > 0:06:30you've been knocked out.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35So as it stands, We Don't Need No Education

0:06:35 > 0:06:39have lost a brain. Sorry, Sam. Eggheads are still intact.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Dave's confidence coming back after a tricky time.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Let's play the next round. It's Music.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Who would like this?- CJ. Craig.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- I think he's the only person to look at here.- That's Craig, isn't it?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Craig, you are the music man.- I am. - OK, who would you like to take on?

0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Chris.- Chris.- Yeah, I think we'll go with Chris.- OK, good stuff.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00So it's going to be Craig from We Don't Need No Education.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Chris on Music. Is that up your street?- It depends what it is.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07- As long as it is not rap, I don't mind.- OK.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Please go to our famous Question Room.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Craig, you love music, I can tell. - I do, yes.- And you're in a band?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I am, yes.- Tell us about it. - We're called The Fast Camels.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21We are a kind of psychedelic rock outfit.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23We've got a couple of festivals to look forward to

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- that we're playing in the summer. - And what do you play yourself?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I am backing vocals and tambourine.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Oh, right. That's unusual. - Well, yes, sometimes.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36So I'm thinking, based on Pink Floyd, whose name who has come up already...

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Well...- ..that's psychedelic rock?

0:07:38 > 0:07:39More the older stuff.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44More the kind of psychedelic East Coast New York stuff.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Give us a band you like.- Third Bardo.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Third Bardo?- The Third Bardo.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Have you ever heard of them? - Third Bardo. I haven't.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- OK, listen to them when you get in. You'll love them.- I will do.

0:07:56 > 0:08:02- And instrumental more or singing? - More singing and very loud guitars.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Chris, have you heard of Third Bardo? - I'd be lying if I said I had.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09We've run into the sidings, to use a train term there.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Shall we start the round? Craig,

0:08:11 > 0:08:13do you want to go first or second on Music?

0:08:13 > 0:08:14I think I'll go first, please.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Good luck.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Who's breakthrough as a performing artist

0:08:22 > 0:08:26came about as a result of working as Bette Midler's piano player?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Who's breakthrough as a performing artist

0:08:29 > 0:08:33came about as a result of working as Bette Midler's piano player?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40I'm not sure that it would be Jerry Lee Lewis.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm not sure about the other two. I'll go for Barry Manilow.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yes, spot-on. Barry Manilow it is.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think the other two were such brilliant egomaniacs,

0:08:49 > 0:08:53they would never have played piano for another person, would they?

0:08:53 > 0:08:54- Dave...- No, I don't think so. - ..is that fair?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56I think that's fair on Freddie, isn't it?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'm not seeing Jerry Lee Lewis' style

0:08:58 > 0:09:00mixing really with Bette Midler.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- No, cos he stood on the piano and kicked it and everything else.- Yes.

0:09:03 > 0:09:08OK, so well done, Craig. We go over to the Shunter, Chris Hughes.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Dancing On The Ceiling, Penny Lover and Stuck On You

0:09:12 > 0:09:14were hits for which singer?

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Dancing On The Ceiling, Penny Lover and Stuck On You

0:09:21 > 0:09:23were hits for which singer?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Uh, not Chris de Burgh, he's Lady In Red.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Not Phil Collins either. Lionel Richie.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Lionel Richie is the correct answer, yes. You know those, Chris?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Dancing On The Ceiling and all that? - I've never tried it.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40JEREMY LAUGHS

0:09:40 > 0:09:42OK, Craig, back to you.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46No mention yet of Third Bardo but we're hopeful.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Gaz Coombes was the lead singer with which band who had their first

0:09:50 > 0:09:52hits in the mid-1990s?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Uh, I'm quite confident about this one, Jeremy.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01I'd like to say Supergrass, please.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Supergrass is the right answer, brilliant.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07OK, Chris, back to you to catch up.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Who was named Best British Female Solo Artist

0:10:10 > 0:10:11at the 2015 Brit Awards?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think I'd have remembered if it was Paloma Faith

0:10:19 > 0:10:22cos I like her and I don't think she was named.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I've never heard of FKA twigs so I'll go with Ella Henderson.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- No, it's Paloma Faith.- Is it?- Yeah. - Oh, right.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- She's really at the top of her game at the moment.- Yes.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Writes all her own stuff, nearly all her own stuff. Yeah, she's the one.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37- Mm-hm.- She is the one.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40So, Chris has got one wrong.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43If you get this right, you've knocked him out. Craig, your question.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46What title was shared by a series of pop medley singles released

0:10:46 > 0:10:52under the group name Star Sound that proved popular in the early 1980s?

0:10:57 > 0:11:00What title was shared by a series of pop medley singles released

0:11:00 > 0:11:06under the group name Star Sound that proved popular in the early 1980s?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I also know this one, Jeremy,

0:11:08 > 0:11:13cos my parents had these albums or singles, whatever they were.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15It Stars On 45.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Funny, no-one will ever admit to owning them themselves.- Well...

0:11:19 > 0:11:24The answer is indeed Stars On 45. Well done, Craig. Three out of three.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Perfect performance from a musician. You're in the final round.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30And Chris has been knocked out. Sorry, Chris.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33You all right about it?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- What's the point of being otherwise? - Well, that's very philosophical.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Please come back, rejoin your teams and we'll play Round Three.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44So, We Don't Need No Education have lost a brain from the final round.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46The Eggheads have lost one too.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49And the crucial third round is on Film & Television,

0:11:49 > 0:11:51so who would like this?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Martin or Paul.- What do you think? You go.- I'll take it on.

0:11:55 > 0:12:00OK, the skipper. Science and AV technician. Against which Egghead?

0:12:00 > 0:12:05- What do you think?- What do you think? Judith?- Yeah, go for Judith.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Judith.- Right.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09So it's going to be Paul from We Don't Need No Education

0:12:09 > 0:12:11and our own Judith.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- We're still searching for a nickname. We've had some suggested.- Have you?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- The Duchess.- Oh, that's boring.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- The Millionairess.- That's even more boring.- Even more boring.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23We need something else. Kensington Central.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Oh, please!- The Lady.- The Lady. - Oh, no, please.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- That's Mrs Thatcher.- No. - The Keppel Meister.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- The what?- The Keppel Meister, yeah. - The Keppel Meister.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34The Keppel Meister.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37THEY LAUGH

0:12:37 > 0:12:40To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44So Film & TV, Paul. And would you like to go first or second?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'll go first, please.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Your first question comes now.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Kate Winslet received her first leading actress Oscar nomination

0:12:55 > 0:12:56for which film?

0:13:00 > 0:13:01I don't think it's The Holiday.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Um...

0:13:04 > 0:13:07..I think I'm going to go with Titanic.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10It is indeed Titanic, well done. Well done.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Judith.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14"These aren't the droids you're looking for,"

0:13:14 > 0:13:17is a line from which 1977 film?

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- I think it's Star Wars.- It is cos that was in '77, yeah.- Yes.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31OK, back to you, Paul.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36When Nature Calls is the subtitle of the sequel to which Jim Carrey film?

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Well, it's not The Truman Show and it's not The Mask

0:13:45 > 0:13:48so it's definitely Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50It is indeed, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Well done. OK, Judith, over to you.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58The 1989 thriller Black Rain sees Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia

0:13:58 > 0:14:03playing two New York police officers who travel to which country?

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Oh, gosh. I don't know Black Rain.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14And they're detectives...

0:14:15 > 0:14:16..going to a country?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19SHE SIGHS

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Nothing is... Nothing is emerging.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Two New York detectives, did you say?- Let me read it again.- Mm.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32The 1989 thriller Black Rain sees Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia

0:14:32 > 0:14:36playing two New York police officers who travel to which country?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I don't know cos I haven't seen it so I don't know.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43And there doesn't seem to be a clue in it.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Black Rain, actually, I'm wondering what it's about.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think I'm going to say Russia.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Maybe something to do with Chernobyl or something.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Oh, that's funny cos I was thinking just in my own head here,

0:14:57 > 0:14:58that's got something to do with oil

0:14:58 > 0:15:00and I would have gone for Russia for that reason.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- But it's not, it's Japan.- Oh, really?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05And I think there's no way of getting there on guesswork.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Why is it called Black Rain? Anyone know?- Can't remember, no.- No.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11- We can't remember.- Too far on now. - It was about the Japanese mafia.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14They went over to go and sort out the yakuza.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16We think it might be a reference to

0:15:16 > 0:15:20- the bombings at the end of World War II?- Oh, OK.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23OK, there we are. We were struggling there. Paul, that's good.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Would you have set that question in one of your quizzes?- Uh, possibility.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Still a chance. You could nick some of these for the quizzes.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33That floored Judith completely there.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK, if you get this one right, you're in the final round.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Michael French, who played David Wicks in EastEnders,

0:15:39 > 0:15:43also played Nick Jordan in which TV series?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Could you repeat the question, please?

0:15:49 > 0:15:53Michael French, who played David Wicks in EastEnders,

0:15:53 > 0:15:56also played Nick Jordan in which TV series?

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'm going to say Casualty.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Casualty is the right answer.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04The captain is through to the final, well done.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Sorry, Judith, you were knocked out there...

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- I knew that one.- ..on Film & TV. Oh, you knew that?- Yes.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- You watch Casualty?- I love Casualty.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Please come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18So as it stands, We Don't Need No Education

0:16:18 > 0:16:20have lost a brain from the final round.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21They are playing really well cos

0:16:21 > 0:16:24they've knocked two of the Eggheads out of the contest.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28And the last subject before the final is Arts & Books.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Is that good for you? ALL:- No.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32It's Gordon or Martin. Who wants it?

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Gordon.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- It's got to be Gordon.- The captain should decide.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I think Gordon should take this one. - I've been thrown to the lions here.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43- And you can have either Barry or Kevin.- I will take Barry on.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Good stuff. Gordon, from We Don't Need No Education

0:16:46 > 0:16:48versus Barry the Brain from Eggheads.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Barry, I know you're very into your technology.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Do you read books on an e-reader or do you read them on paper?- Both.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02I've got something like about 7,000 or 8,000 books at home

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- and I've got about 600 books on my e-reader.- 7,000 or 8,000?!

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Where on earth do you keep them?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Funnily enough, I have 19 bookcases and they're all full

0:17:11 > 0:17:12and some of them are double stacked.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15But I've been warned in no uncertain terms that I'm not allowed

0:17:15 > 0:17:17to have any more.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20There was an unfortunate case a couple of years ago where a man

0:17:20 > 0:17:24was sleeping in his bed in his bedroom upstairs

0:17:24 > 0:17:26and his loft was full of yachting magazines

0:17:26 > 0:17:28and the ceiling suddenly collapsed

0:17:28 > 0:17:32and he had to be brought out of the house by firemen in a chain.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Oh, my goodness. I do hope my wife hasn't heard this story.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Has she called you this week or not? - Of course, yes.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- She's not been buried?- Not yet. She's quite safe.- In a book collapse.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45We have some RSJs up in our loft so we're quite OK.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49I bet that would be your fantasy way to go though, collapsed under books.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, I can think of other ones.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55JEREMY LAUGHS

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Let's not go back to Jayne Mansfield.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02On Arts & Books, Gordon, would you like to go first or second?

0:18:02 > 0:18:03I'll go first, please.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06So here is

0:18:06 > 0:18:08your first question against Barry the Brain.

0:18:08 > 0:18:13Published in the early 1940s, what are TS Eliot's Four Quartets?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Four Quartets.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23I would have to...

0:18:25 > 0:18:27..go for poems.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Yes, poems is quite right. Well done.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34OK, Barry, which of these terms refers to a short piece

0:18:34 > 0:18:37of nonfiction writing dealing with a particular subject

0:18:37 > 0:18:39from a personal point of view?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Short piece of wri... Could you just repeat that question, please?

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Which of these terms refers to a short piece of nonfiction writing

0:18:50 > 0:18:53dealing with a particular subject from a personal point of view?

0:18:53 > 0:18:57- I think that must be episode. - What?! Barry!

0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Oh, Barry.- Isn't it?- Well, it's a funny old question, this.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- But the closest word to what I described is essay.- Oh.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07I wouldn't have said that.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Nonfiction writing dealing with a particular subject

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- from a personal point of view.- I can see where you're coming from now.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16That's very sporting of you.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Let's move on...- Quickly.- Quickly! ..before the fighting starts.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK, Gordon, you've got the rubber,

0:19:23 > 0:19:24the green here, Gordon.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Very unusual for Barry to trip up on his first question in anything.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32What is the title of the French writer Charles Baudelaire's

0:19:32 > 0:19:34most famous volume of poetry?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Let me read it again. What is the title of the French writer

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Charles Baudelaire's most famous volume of poetry?

0:19:48 > 0:19:52OK. Um, I'm not sure on this one.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58I will see how good my French...

0:19:59 > 0:20:04..is here but I will go for Les Fleurs Du Mal.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Barry, is he right?- Yes, The Flowers Of Evil, absolutely.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Yes, yes, yes. Les Fleurs Du Mal.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15OK, so you've got two points now, Gordon, on Arts & Books,

0:20:15 > 0:20:20and Barry has not yet scored. Barry, if you get this wrong, it's curtains.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Same curtains you made your shirt out of.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26To which artist is the quote, "Champagne for my real friends,

0:20:26 > 0:20:30"real pain for my sham friends," famously attributed?

0:20:35 > 0:20:39I can't imagine Francis Bacon offering champagne to ANY friends

0:20:39 > 0:20:41so I shall discount him.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43I think I've got to go for Andy Warhol on that.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45I don't know the quote but I must go for...

0:20:45 > 0:20:47It sounds like the sort of thing Andy Warhol would say.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50I've not heard it before but it's a brilliant quote,

0:20:50 > 0:20:51I'll try to remember it.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54"Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends,"

0:20:54 > 0:20:55was Francis Bacon, Barry.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- You've been knocked out.- Oh! - There we go.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Gordon, how about that?- Um...

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Fantastic. Fantastic. - Without even needing your

0:21:05 > 0:21:07third question, you are in the final round. How about that?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Doesn't happen very often but you've

0:21:09 > 0:21:11booked your place in the final.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14If you come back to us, both of you, we'll see how the final shakes down.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17This is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20It is time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be

0:21:23 > 0:21:25allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27And you're going to see now the damage our Challengers from

0:21:27 > 0:21:30We Don't Need No Education have inflicted on the Eggheads

0:21:30 > 0:21:34cos it's Sam from the Challengers who has to go but it's also Judith,

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Chris and Barry from the Eggheads.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Would you please now leave the studio?

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Paul, Martin, Craig and Gordon,

0:21:41 > 0:21:44you've done really well to get this far and you are

0:21:44 > 0:21:48now playing to win We Don't Need No Education £7,000.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Dave and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy

0:21:51 > 0:21:53which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Now as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59This time the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01So, We Don't Need No Education, the question is -

0:22:01 > 0:22:04can your four brains defeat these two?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06That's all it comes down to now.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08It may only come down to three questions.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Would you like to go first or second?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12I think we'll stick to the plan and go first, Jeremy.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK, Martin and team, here we go.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20General Knowledge, your first question.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Laryngitis commonly causes what parts of the body to swell?

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Vocal cords.- Vocal cords.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Yes, Jeremy, I think we think that we know this one

0:22:34 > 0:22:36and we think that it's vocal cords.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Vocal cords is the right answer.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Back to you, Eggheads.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Kayaks were first developed by people in which part of the world?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Greenland.- Yeah, I like the look of Greenland there.

0:22:50 > 0:22:57It's what used to be called Eskimo, Inuit word so we'll say Greenland.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Greenland is correct. One each.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Who would be the most likely to practise nephanalysis?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14- And nephanalysis is N-E-P-H and then analysis.- I've never heard it.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- I can't see why it would be a football manager.- Football manager.

0:23:17 > 0:23:18OK, so let's rule that out.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21So the question is whether it's a surgeon...

0:23:21 > 0:23:22- Surgeon or a meteorologist.- Nepha...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24I know a surgeon

0:23:24 > 0:23:26and I've never heard her say that.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Sam would know this.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'd be tempted to say meteorologist.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- I would go with meteorologist.- OK.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Yes, meteorologist.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38OK, Jeremy, I think we are going to plump for meteorologist.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40We're not entirely sure why.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43OK, so you say you know a surgeon and she's talked about stuff

0:23:43 > 0:23:46and talked about surgery, talked about medicine, talked about the NHS,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49has never used the word nephanalysis?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51I will hold her entirely to blame.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53JEREMY LAUGHS

0:23:53 > 0:23:56I must say looking at it, I'm just conjuring with the "neph"

0:23:56 > 0:23:59which you would have done. N-E-P-H, what does that link to?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- What does that link to, Eggheads? - Clouds, I believe.- Clouds.- Clouds.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07- Meteorologist is quite right. Well done.- Thank you.- Clouds.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Eggheads,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11what is the full first name shared

0:24:11 > 0:24:14by the actors Burt Reynolds and Burt Lancaster?

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Funnily enough, I didn't know about Burt Reynolds but I'm pretty

0:24:20 > 0:24:24- sure that Burt Lancaster was Burton. - OK, fine. OK.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25I'll just think about it for a sec,

0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I don't think it's either of the others.- OK.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31- If you know that then... - Bertram, Norbert.

0:24:32 > 0:24:37I'm quite happy to go with it. And it's B-U-R-T both of them as well

0:24:37 > 0:24:40so if I'm thinking properly now.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Get my brain back into gear. - That's true, yes.- Both are B-U-R-T

0:24:44 > 0:24:45So that makes sense.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50Yeah, OK. The B-U-R. The B-U as opposed to B-E makes sense as well.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55But I think Burt Lancaster's real first name was Burton. So Burton.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58It is right. Burton is right.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02And yes, both... I didn't spell them for you but they are both B-U-R-T.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Third question.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Now, get this right

0:25:04 > 0:25:06and there's pressure on these two here.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07And who knows? They might crack.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Little eggs, sometimes even big eggs can crack.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16Which British cartoon strip is known as Wurzel in Germany

0:25:16 > 0:25:19and Lillo Il Cane Saggio in Italy?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29This is the time when we need a German or an Italian teacher.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Can you repeat the question, please?

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Let me just make sure you've got the titles.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38Wurzel is Germany, which is spelt Wurzel, W-U-R-Z-E-L. Wurzel.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42And Lillo Il Cane Saggio. Lillo, L-I-L-L-O.

0:25:42 > 0:25:48Then I-L, then Cane, CA-N-E, then Saggio, S-A-G-G-I-O.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Which British cartoon strip is known as Wurzel in Germany

0:25:51 > 0:25:54and Lillo Il Cane Saggio in Italy?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56I think it's Andy Capp. Andy Capp.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I've got no reason to think that it's Andy Capp but...

0:25:59 > 0:26:02We'll probably get it wrong but I think it's Andy Capp.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Do you think?- He said that.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09OK, three people seem to have an inkling for Andy Capp

0:26:09 > 0:26:11So that's what we'll go for.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17OK, Wurzel. I wonder how Wurzel helps us. But Lillo Il Cane Saggio.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Before you say the answer, Eggheads, if you know it,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22what is Lillo Il Cane Saggio?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Any direct translation of that?

0:26:24 > 0:26:25I think "dog" is in there somewhere.

0:26:25 > 0:26:30I wonder if "cane" is dog, as in canine.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Fred Basset is the answer. - Oh, Basset.- Not Andy Capp.

0:26:33 > 0:26:39So I think that would be "small dog," lillo cane.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41OK, sorry, Challengers, but you're not out yet.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44If the Eggheads get this right, the contest is over.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Which of these political figures became a senator

0:26:47 > 0:26:49from New York in 1965?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Kennedy?- Yeah, OK. Yeah.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59- OK?- That's fine with me.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Barry Goldwater was a senator from Arizona.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Eugene McCarthy has escaped me at the moment but it wasn't New York.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10But Robert Kennedy, following the assassination of his brother

0:27:10 > 0:27:14and when he then became the anointed heir of the Kennedy clan,

0:27:14 > 0:27:19he started his political push by being elected senator from New York

0:27:19 > 0:27:22in '65 so Robert Kennedy.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25The political figure who became a senator from New York in 1965

0:27:25 > 0:27:27was indeed Robert Kennedy.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37They are... They are a little bit steeped in the Kennedy stuff.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40When I see the name Kennedy, I think that they'll probably know that.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42It's meat and drink to quizzers.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45But commiserations, you did very well to get four in the final there

0:27:45 > 0:27:47and pitched three of them out who are

0:27:47 > 0:27:49sitting looking rather miserable back there.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51But I'm sorry you didn't just do the final push for us.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53The Eggheads have done what comes naturally

0:27:53 > 0:27:55and their winning streak continues.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57It's getting a little bit impressive now.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00It does mean you won't be going home with the £7,000 so the money
