0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And they're right here, the legends in person.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- You feeling legendary?- Yes. - Mythological.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Never short of confidence, this lot.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Taking on the awesome might
0:00:43 > 0:00:45of our quiz Goliaths are the...
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..from Manchester.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Now, this team of old friends
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and family have known one another for over 50 years
0:00:51 > 0:00:55and they take their name from the 1960s TV safety campaign,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57which featured Tufty the Squirrel.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Let's meet them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, my name is John and I'm a UK sales manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, my name is Jarl. I'm head of operations for a leisure trust.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, my name is James. I'm a chiropractor.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Ged and I'm a service delivery manager.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Hello, my name is Tony and I'm wholesale greengrocer.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- John, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And Tufty the Squirrel, then. Was it a close personal friend or...?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Not particularly. It was a royal safety campaign, as you know,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29from the 1960s and I can't say we were avid supporters of it,
0:01:29 > 0:01:30but it was actually bestowed on us
0:01:30 > 0:01:33by another contemporary as a bit of a mickey take.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- But we take to it and we wear it as a badge of honour.- Badge of honour.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37And I noticed you're all exactly...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39well, roughly the same age,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- 58 years old.- 58, yeah. We all grew up together.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Three of us are cousins - myself, Jarl and Jim. We are three cousins.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Yep.- Also, the other two guys, Ged and Tony,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49also grew up on the same street.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- We've known each other since we were...out of a cot.- OK.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, we've stuck together and firm friends.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Well, good stuff. And you watch Eggheads, I'm presuming,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- so you know what you are up against here. BOTH:- We do indeed.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01A bit of road safety going on here, I think,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03this lot is swerving all over the place.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04They can be a bit dangerous.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for our Challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show. You know that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Tufty Club, I can tell you what you don't know is that they have
0:02:16 > 0:02:19won the last 20. So, they are playing really well.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21That's not good. What is good is
0:02:21 > 0:02:23that it's £21,000 you're playing for.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- That is good.- That is good.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- So, shall we start? - Let's get on with it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Who would like this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I think we will nominate Jarl for this.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Are you all happy to have Jarl do it?- I think Jarl.- Jarl.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38All right, now before you go, choose an Egghead.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Any one of the five.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Whoever looks like they are out for the count on Politics.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Dave?- Dave?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Yeah, we're going to nominate Dave.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK, so it is Jarl from Tufty Club versus Dave,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So, Jarl, you've chosen to do Politics against Dave
0:03:02 > 0:03:03and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13The membership of the House of Lords includes 26 places
0:03:13 > 0:03:15reserved for whom?
0:03:15 > 0:03:1626...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Uh... it won't be members of the royal family.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I doubt it will be generals, so I will go for bishops.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Yeah, that's right. There were 26 bishops in the House of Lords.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Dave, Wim Kok served as prime minister of which
0:03:33 > 0:03:37country from 1994 to 2002? Is it...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I believe it is the Netherlands.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Yes, it is the Netherlands.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well done. A win.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Back to you, Jarl.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Who spent six months imprisoned in the Tower of London
0:03:50 > 0:03:53but went on to be Britain's longest-serving prime minister?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Is it...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I doubt it would be the first two,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04David Lloyd George or William Gladstone. Um...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think Robert Walpole was a lot earlier than them.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07I'll go for Robert Walpole.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You're absolutely right. It is Robert Walpole,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11but I'm desperate here for the back story.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Any Eggheads here tell me?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14I can't remember the exact
0:04:14 > 0:04:15ins and outs of it, but he...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I mean, he came to prominence
0:04:17 > 0:04:18at a time when there was really
0:04:18 > 0:04:21vicious infighting between the two main political factions,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24between the Tories and the Whigs.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26They took no half measures with their opponents.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Whichever ones were currently in power,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30they would do every dirty trick
0:04:30 > 0:04:32in the book and I think that's what it's to do with.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He wound up in the Tower.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36There was a little bit of financial
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- impropriety in there, too.- Right.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42But then he was prime minister for...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- 21 years.- Amazing, OK.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Dave, your question.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47The suffragette Emily Davison
0:04:47 > 0:04:52died from injuries sustained at an incident at which sporting event?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Was it...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yeah, she fell under a horse at the Epsom Derby.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You sure she didn't fall under a football, though?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Or motor racing. British Grand Prix would be very good in 1913,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08wouldn't it? Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Epsom Derby is right. Well done.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK, Jarl, back to you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Very tight so far. Two each.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Which US president was the first to ride on a train?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Well, it won't be George Washington. That would've been too early.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland, out of the two...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I'll go for Grover Cleveland.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm sorry, got it wrong. But your logic started off brilliantly.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Andrew Jackson is the answer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42OK, your chance to go into the final, Dave. Here's your question.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Apart from the prime minister, how many ministers can be
0:05:45 > 0:05:47paid members of the cabinet according to
0:05:47 > 0:05:52the Ministerial And Other Salaries Act 1975?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Right. Um...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I'd say that the Cabinet usually numbers around 20.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07So with that, I would go for...
0:06:07 > 0:06:0921.
0:06:09 > 0:06:1121 is bang on. You got it. So, you got three out of three.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Sorry, Jarl. And I can see you're a good quizzer as well.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17You have been knocked out by our Egghead, but it's early days.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Jarl, bad luck there. These Eggheads are doughty fighters.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Got beaten by the master. - Yep. And no question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Tremendous Knowledge Dave has been banned from, I think,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- every pub in Manchester. - Every pub... Well, no.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Certain pubs. Certain pubs in Manchester.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Well, that was for fighting, though, wasn't it?- Fighting.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Fighting the quiz machine, yes. Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40At as it stands, Tufty Club have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Eggheads have still got all five.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43See if you can change that now.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It is Music for you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Who's the music fan?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48James. It's got to be James.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- James will do the Music. - James in the middle.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54OK, and against which Egghead? It can't be David.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Any preference, Jim?- I'm not sure. - What about Judith?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Judith.- Yeah, get rid of her.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah, James has chosen Judith.- Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So, James from Tufty Club versus Judith on Music. She'll like that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- You'll be glad to have that, Judith?- Moderately.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Moderately. You never go above moderately.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12To ensure there is no conferring,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So, James, I gather we're lucky to have you
0:07:19 > 0:07:21after an accident when you were four.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well, I can't remember too much about it,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26but apparently, I died and went to heaven.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29My mother, who was in the ambulance at the same time,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32told me once I awoken from unconsciousness
0:07:32 > 0:07:35that I visited her mother, my grandmother.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And my grandmother says,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40"You must go back down and go back to your mum."
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Once I opened my eyes again in the ambulance...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Wow.- ..I was in a coma for a week or two,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50but, yes, apparently, I spoke to my grandmother in heaven
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- and came back down again. - What was it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- A playground accident or something? - It was, yes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It was a quite high climbing frame
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and I fell from the top and fractured my skull.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And of course, in those days, the tarmac was tarmac.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It's not like the bouncy stuff they've got now.- Exactly.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- It was hard stuff in those days. - It didn't give.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Yeah, well, OK, I'm glad you're here.- So am I.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I got a return ticket.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yeah, yeah. Good stuff. Well, you're playing Judith on Music.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15She's pretending to know nothing about music.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Don't be fooled by that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Here is your question.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Who wrote the music for the 1965 song
0:08:27 > 0:08:29What The World Needs Now Is Love?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Well, we know...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Paul McCartney didn't.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Everybody knows his famous Beatles songs, even though
0:08:40 > 0:08:42he did write many more.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It doesn't remind me of any Carole King song.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And I do know it's a type of Burt Bacharach song,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50so, yes, I'm going to go for Burt.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Burt Bacharach is quite right. Brilliant.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And what an artist he is. Amazing.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Judith, which Oasis song includes the line,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01"Because maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me"?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11I'm just trying to think which of those titles go best with the...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Maybe... The one to save me.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Uh...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Roll With It.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19- No, no. - LAUGHTER
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- I'm going to roll with it. - Yeah, because...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24# Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me
0:09:24 > 0:09:25# Roll with it! #
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Yeah, that does fit.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28But it's not the right one?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- It's not the right one. Brilliant song. Wonderwall, it is.- Oh.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Right, on to you, James.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36The UK hit single Gold Digger by Kanye West
0:09:36 > 0:09:39featured vocals by which actor?
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Was it...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I would say just because of the...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49recent time that he had that single,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm going to rule out Eddie Murphy,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'm going to rule out Will Smith,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and say Jamie Foxx.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Nicely done. Jamie Foxx, it is.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03So, Judith, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Which of these Puccini's operas is set in Rome?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Well, Madama Butterfly was in Japan and La Boheme was in Paris,
0:10:15 > 0:10:16so it's Tosca.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Tosca is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21James, for the round.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25The virtuoso classical guitarist Andres Segovia
0:10:25 > 0:10:26was a native of which country?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Purely going off of the surname, I'm going to rule out France,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36so between Italy and Spain.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'm going to plump for Italy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I hope I didn't mispronounce it, but it's not Italy. It's Spain.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Andres Segovia.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50A native of Spain. So, Judith, you have a chance to stay in
0:10:50 > 0:10:52if you get this one right, OK?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Which American composer had a highly successful career
0:10:56 > 0:10:58in the insurance industry for many years
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and only found fame through music in later life?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Oh.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Gosh.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I think it might be Charles Ives.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Why do you say that?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Well, I just think the other two were in music all their lives.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Charles Ives is correct, Judith. Well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, two points each after three questions.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Difficult to shake her off, James, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We go to Sudden Death now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Paul Weller and the keyboardist Mick Talbot
0:11:33 > 0:11:36formed which pop group in the 1980s?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It was after The Jam. They formed The Style Council.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It was indeed. And it was The Style Council. Well done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Judith, your question.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Which three-act comic opera based on works by Shakespeare
0:11:46 > 0:11:50was the last opera to be written by Giuseppe Verdi?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I don't know. Um...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Falstaff.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I thought you were going to get it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Falstaff is right.- Oh.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03That's the correct answer.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04OK, James.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07What was the name of the father of Sharon Osbourne
0:12:07 > 0:12:09who was a successful manager of bands
0:12:09 > 0:12:12such as ELO and Black Sabbath?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Ooh. I can't even guess a name here. I can't remember.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Um... Oh.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21I'm sorry, I can't remember, Jeremy.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Really? No name?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- We thought it was Ozzy, but it's not Ozzy.- Ozzy, no, no.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29No, don't know.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30- Anyone here?- Don Arden.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Don Arden, say the Eggheads.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Born Harry Levy.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37So, James has given you a chance to take the round here, Judith.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Here's your question.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40First staged in 1998,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43the opera A Streetcar Named Desire
0:12:43 > 0:12:46was written by which German-born American composer
0:12:46 > 0:12:48who served as chief conductor of
0:12:48 > 0:12:50both the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
0:12:50 > 0:12:52and the London Symphony Orchestra?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I should really know that.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Um... Oh, dear, I don't know.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I don't know. I don't know.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Nothing?- I can kick myself, I'm sure.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08You will. It is Andre Previn.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Oh, for goodness' sake!- And he was... I didn't realise he was
0:13:11 > 0:13:14German, but he was born Andreas Ludwig Priwin.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16All right, James.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17You're just off the hook there.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23Which British actor starred as J Pierpoint Finch in the 2011
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Broadway revival of the musical
0:13:25 > 0:13:28How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying?
0:13:28 > 0:13:33I...don't know, so I'll have to think of somebody.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Have a guess.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Michael Crawford.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41No, Daniel Radcliffe is the answer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Judith, your chance to take the round. Sudden Death, here we go.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Construction of the Baku Crystal Hall
0:13:47 > 0:13:50was completed just in time to host
0:13:50 > 0:13:53which major musical event in May 2012?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Eurovision Song Contest.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Eurovision Song Contest is the right answer.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You've taken the round, Judith. Well done.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01James, you've been knocked out,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03sorry, on the Daniel Radcliffe question.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12So as it stands, the Tufty Club are having a little bit of a time here.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Any change of plan?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Just going to give them a head start and then come from behind.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- I think that's the way to do it. - Easier questions.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22You've lost two brains, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and the next subject for you is Food & Drink.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So, who would like this?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- That's you, mate.- Tony? - Let's have a go at that.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- You OK with that?- Tony? OK. Good stuff.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Against which Egghead, Tony?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Who would you like? Can't be Dave or Judith.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- I think I'll take on Kevin.- Kevin?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Because we don't really want him in the final.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Yeah!- Great tactic.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Great tactic.- Good man.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Kevin.- Kevin. OK, Tony from Tufty Club and Kevin
0:14:49 > 0:14:51on Food & Drink. Please go to the Question Room.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57So, Tony, greengrocer, lots of fruit and veg?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Yeah, we do it on a wholesale basis.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- We sell stuff from all over the world.- Lovely.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And I'm guessing people have to come through your door
0:15:03 > 0:15:05really early in the morning to get the goods.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Well, four o'clock is an average start time.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10We have to do it at that time because it has to be
0:15:10 > 0:15:14in the restaurants and shops early, so they can sell it on.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Yeah. All right, well, good luck in this round.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I hope there are lots of questions about fruit and vegetables.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21You're up against Kevin. If you knock him out,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23then you are starting to come back
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and getting within sight of this very big jackpot we've got.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Do you want to go first or second, Tony?- I'd like to go second, please.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Here we go. Kevin, your question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Farmhouse, bloomer and coburg are all types of which food?
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Certainly both bloomer and farmhouse are types of bread loaf,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50so yeah, bread loaf.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Bread loaf is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54OK, over to you, Tony.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59What creature is sometimes referred to as the cardinal of the seas
0:15:59 > 0:16:03due to the colour it turns when it's cooked? Is this...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Well, a mussel is black
0:16:09 > 0:16:10and a scallop comes out of a shell,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14but a lobster is black initially and turns pink,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16cardinal pink, when it's cooked.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The lobster.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Lobster is correct. One point each.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Food and Drink.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Kevin, your question.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26What is often said to have been invented by Louis Lassen
0:16:26 > 0:16:31in 1900 in his eatery Louis' Lunch in New Haven Connecticut?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Kevin, was it the...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Not sure on this at all.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41I don't think it's chilli con carne.
0:16:41 > 0:16:48I mean, that's more of a Southwest, USA, Mexican borderland-type dish.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I think I've heard the name, but I can't remember whether it's...
0:16:53 > 0:16:57If I've got any sort of slight instinct,
0:16:57 > 0:16:58it's for hamburger, I think.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03So, it could be hamburger or hot dog, but I'll go for hamburger.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Do you know this one, Tony?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I think it's the hot dog.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Funnily enough, Kevin's got it right.- Right.- It's the hamburger.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10- Right.- So, Kevin is in the lead.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And you can pull back now with your second question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Which of these terms, Tony,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19describes fruit of that has been stewed or cooked in syrup? Is it...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I don't think it's madeleine.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Compote is the type of pudding.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I think it's millefeuille.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- It's actually compote.- Right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Not millefeuille. OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37If you get this right, Kevin, you're in the final round
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and you will have won through on Food & Drink.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41- Have you got an oven yet?- Yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43That's not the question.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Oh, damn, I thought that was it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48No, that's not it. Yeah, that would be very odd.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Muscadet is a white wine made in the valley of which French river?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Muscadet comes from the Loire.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Oh, you were straight there.- Mm-hm.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Loire...is the correct answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Kevin, well done.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Tony, sorry, he's beaten you on Food & Drink, which can happen.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Kevin will be in the final.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Please return to us and we'll play the next round.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16So as it stands right now,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19the Tufty Club have lost another brain from the final round.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21The Eggheads are still sitting pretty
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and the Eggheads think they've got it in the bag.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, now is the moment to pounce.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's Arts & Books.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Who would like this?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31That's the short straw and...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Yes, it is the short straw.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It was Jarl's bag, but Ged has kindly volunteered
0:18:36 > 0:18:37to step up to the mark.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, Ged, who would you like to take on?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Oh, um...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Lisa? I think Lisa.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Let's have Lisa.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK, so Ged from Tufty Club versus Lisa from the Eggheads
0:18:49 > 0:18:50on Arts & Books.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Last round before the final. Please go to our Question Room now.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57So, Ged, I gather at the local pub where you quiz,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00you all recreated an edition of Eggheads?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01We did indeed, yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05And even to the point where John, sitting here, was playing me.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Yeah, he was indeed, yes. - Did a better job, I should think.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10And did you...? So, you were the Eggheads,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- so pressure was on for you guys to win.- Yes, it was.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- And did you win?- No. - LAUGHTER
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Well, without giving the answer,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19tell me the question that floored you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Yes, it was a collective noun for giraffes that floored us.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- OK, now, Lisa do you know that? - I think it's a tower.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Ha-ha! She's right, it is a tower.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Ged, what did you say? - We said pillar.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Pillar, OK. Well, good luck playing them today.- Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34You're up against Lisa.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And, Ged, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:37 > 0:19:38I'll go first, please.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Here we go with your first question. Arts & Books.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Ged, "Double, double toil and trouble,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49"fire burn and cauldron bubble,"
0:19:49 > 0:19:52are famous lines from which Shakespeare play?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I know this one cos it's probably one of the only plays
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I did at school.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Macbeth.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Macbeth is correct. The three witches at the start.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Lisa, what was the nickname by which the artist Jackson Pollock
0:20:09 > 0:20:11became known?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Jackson Pollock's, I think, famous for the sort of messy
0:20:19 > 0:20:25canvases where the paint is not applied in strict brushstrokes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Jack the Stripper and Jack the Gripper are interesting
0:20:28 > 0:20:30possibilities, mind you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I'll go for Jack the Dripper.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Yeah, Jack the Dripper is right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Exactly right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38OK, Ged, back to you. Playing the Egghead.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Which word precedes arch in the name of an architectural feature
0:20:43 > 0:20:44within a theatre?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Oh, gosh.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It'll be a pure guess, this, I think.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think it's the first one, ingenium.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Lisa, what do you think? - Proscenium arch.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Proscenium arch, it is.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Meaning, Lisa?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I think it's the sort of arch that goes across the front
0:21:04 > 0:21:06of the stage, so presumably in front of the scene.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Sort of framing the scene.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09- Oh, I see, pro-scene.- Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Interesting. Sorry, Ged, you got it wrong.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Back to Lisa. See if she can take the lead.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Bathsheba Everdene and Gabriel Oak are characters in which book?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I won't pretend for a second I'm a lover of Thomas Hardy
0:21:27 > 0:21:29although I grew up in his country, down in Dorset,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32but the book is Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Far From The Madding Crowd is correct.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38OK. So, Ged, you need this one to stay in.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40The novelist Louis de Bernieres,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43the author of the bestselling Captain Corelli's Mandolin,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47was born in 1954 in which city?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sorry, what was his name again?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Louis de Bernieres,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58so it's D-E and then B-E-R-N-I-E-R-E-S
0:21:58 > 0:22:00with an accent on the first E.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Doesn't sound Dutch, does it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Definitely doesn't sound English.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It could be cosmopolitan.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11New York.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12It's not New York.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13It's London.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Ged, I'm sorry to say,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17so, you have been beaten by our Egghead
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and as a result, will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Ged and Lisa, come back to us. We will play that final.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29And a bit of a sob story here, Lisa, you are looking relieved because...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Because that is the first one I've won
0:22:31 > 0:22:33after four defeats on the bounce.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36And we don't count...we don't count these, you know that,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37but you were counting for yourself.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40It is a matter of professional pride to make sure that we don't
0:22:40 > 0:22:44go further than four. Five is right out, as they said in Monty Python.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47OK. So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48It is time for the final round,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:52 > 0:22:54won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56And Tufty the Squirrel is looking...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59There's a little bit of a roadkill aspect to Tufty at the moment,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02but you can still win. There's no question.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06However, Jarl, James, Ged and Tony from Tufty Club,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I do need to ask you, please, to leave the studio.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14So, John, you are playing to win Tufty Club £21,000
0:23:14 > 0:23:16and they will be very grateful backstage.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Eggheads, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:23:19 > 0:23:21the Eggheads' precious reputation
0:23:21 > 0:23:23and to continue this really great run you're on.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25We don't often get above 20, do we?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- No, not currently, no.- Not often.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34You are allowed to confer...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Doesn't help much, does it? So, John, the question is -
0:23:37 > 0:23:40can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I'd like to go first, please.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Here's is your question.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Which of these trees is deciduous?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Deciduous.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think deciduous means
0:24:00 > 0:24:02it flowers every year.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Silver birch...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07juniper or yew.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I'll go for yew.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yew is not deciduous.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Silver birch is deciduous.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Meaning, what, that the branches are stripped in winter,
0:24:18 > 0:24:19is that right?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22The leaves fall off in winter.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25The town of Penrith is located
0:24:25 > 0:24:27just outside which national park?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- ALL:- Lake District.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33- Yeah, Lake District.- Oxenholme,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Lake District, Penrith, Carlisle.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36I've passed through Penrith
0:24:36 > 0:24:37on the train many times
0:24:37 > 0:24:38and it is very close to
0:24:38 > 0:24:39the Lake District.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It is indeed close to the Lake District.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You're right, Eggheads. First point to you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Back to you, John.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Ice Station Zebra and When Eight Bells Toll
0:24:48 > 0:24:52are 1960s novels by which author?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Um...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I'm pretty sure it is Alistair MacLean.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05No messing about, you're right. Alistair MacLean it is.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Absolutely right. Eggheads, here's your question.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10According to FIFA regulations
0:25:10 > 0:25:11for international matches,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14what is the maximum width of a football pitch?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- BOTH:- Width.- Rather than length.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Hm.- What's the maximum length?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Length is about 130 yards.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Or something, isn't it? - They ain't square, are they?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I'd have said 80. My instinct would be 80.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Yeah, mine too, I think.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Because I'm thinking 100 yards wide,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40it's a long way on a pitch.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I don't recall seeing 105
0:25:41 > 0:25:43in relation to any dimension at all.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I would like to...
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I think we should hear the question
0:25:46 > 0:25:47again just to clarify this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Oh, yeah, absolutely.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51According to FIFA regulations
0:25:51 > 0:25:52for international matches,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56what is the maximum width of a football pitch?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You see, I...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59There's a range. They allow some
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- flexibility.- Yeah, they do.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Cos there are teams which specialise
0:26:01 > 0:26:03in really narrow pitches.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Narrow pitches and longer ones, yeah, cos they...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07105 yards, 100 yards,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- it's quite a lot.- Yeah, it would be.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11100 yards is long, isn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12It's long. Yeah, it's a long way.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's a long way.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I... My instinct is 80, but it's not...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Yeah?- 80 is not...- It makes sense.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21I mean, it could be...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Sometimes these regulations are...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Strange.- Strange, yes.- Yeah.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27- Basically, yes.- 80.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28They're not adhered to,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32but I would, you know...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:26:33 > 0:26:35The key word is maximum.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- For the width.- Seems plausible,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- proportionally.- Yeah, yeah. 80.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- We could talk about it all day.- OK.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42We're slightly uneasy here,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but we feel we should go
0:26:44 > 0:26:45for 80 yards.
0:26:45 > 0:26:4880 yards. A lot riding on these answers. John, what do you think?
0:26:48 > 0:26:49105.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- You say 105?- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:5280 is the right answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57So, Eggheads in the driving seat here.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- John, you need to get this one right to stay in.- OK.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Take your time.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05In Greek mythology, which nymph was turned hollow water reeds
0:27:05 > 0:27:09to protect her from the god Pan. Is that...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I like the sound of Circe.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17So, I'll go for Circe.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19OK, Circe, you say.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21If you've got this wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Let's just have a little look with the Eggheads.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I think you like your mythology. Judith, do you know this one?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- I think it's Syrinx.- Anybody else?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yeah, Syrinx.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Syrinx is the answer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Syrinx, it is.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36And we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Hard to come back from the two wrong answers there,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but great to play your team.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Great to see your team at work, especially since you were...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Who were you performing as in this Eggheads' reconstruction?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52- The main man.- Oh, right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, you'll know from my position, it's very easy, so...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Much harder where you're sitting.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Yeah, it's easier to have the questions.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Thank you so much for coming in. - Thank you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03And all your colleagues as well. Been great to see you playing.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Eggheads, you're doing really rather well. This is getting lively.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08The winning streak continues.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It does mean our Challengers do not go home with the £21,000.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14We will take that money, shall we, roll it over to the next show?
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Eggheads, invictus was the word, wasn't it? Unbeatable.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:21 > 0:28:22can take them apart.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26It's looking unlikely, though. £22,000 will be up for grabs.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Until then, goodbye.
