These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is - can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Now, this team are all members | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
of Saltford Tennis Club in Bristol and regularly quiz together | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
at their local pub, The Brassmill. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Hi, I'm Sally and I'm an occupational therapist. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi, I'm James and I work in public relations. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Helen and I'm a charity administrator. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm Chris and I'm a printer. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Julie. I'm an administrator. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
-So, Sally and team, welcome. ALL: -Thank you. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Good to see you. So it's mainly tennis that brings you together? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
Yes, Jeremy. We've all played tennis at one point | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
for Saltford Tennis Club, the local club. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
And we know each other through other activities too. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-Netball as well, I gather? -Yeah, obviously only the women, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
-but we've all played that. -Well, I don't know. Isn't that...? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Could you play a bit of netball, Chris? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
If I can get the skirt to fit, yes. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-Yes. -Yeah, yeah. -And other things too? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-Well, and we quiz a lot together. -Ah! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
OK, well, tell me about that. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Well, about twice a month, we try and do at the local pub quiz | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
-and we actually win a fair amount of the time. -Brilliant. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
And when you are asked questions in the pub, do you listen to them? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-LAUGHTER Cos... -It helps. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
We try to, we do try to. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Yeah, because we had some incidents in the last game where I think | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
you wouldn't mind me saying you just didn't listen to anything at all. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Well, I rescued them from one question | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
that somebody didn't listen to. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-And then got it wrong on the next. -LAUGHTER | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Anyway, they've had a little bit of a turbulence | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
in the last game or two. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
up for grabs for our Challengers. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
that prize money rolls over to our next show. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Now, Double Fault, despite their problems, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
the Eggheads are on a streak - they've won the last nine. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
It means £10,000 is here for you to win today. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
Oh, no pressure(!) | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
-Would you like to give it a go? -Yeah, we definitely want to. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
All right. First head-to-head battle is on the subject of History. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-Oh. -Who would like this? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-Oh, I'll try it then. -I might have to go. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-Oh, yeah. -One of you two? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
-Me or who? -I think Sally or Helen. -Me or Helen? -I'm not very good at... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-You can do geography later. OK, shall I do it? -Yes. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-Against? -OK, and against... -Sally, team captain. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-Yes, I'm going to go for History. -What do you reckon? CJ maybe? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-I don't know, what do you think? -Yeah, um... -Who? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
I think CJ maybe, I don't know. Chris, CJ? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
I'll... Let's try...Chris. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-You don't sound convinced. -No, I'm not. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Yeah. So, OK. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Sally from Double Fault versus Chris from the Eggheads on History. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
And just to make sure there's no conferring, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
Chris, I'm not sure I've ever asked | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
you what your favourite period of history is. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Probably the Edwardian era or, going back 50 years before that, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
so the golden age of the likes of IK Brunel. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Oh, I thought you'd say Second World War, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
but that's... By then, you were beginning to wane a bit, were you? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Well, I lived through a lot of the aftermath of that. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
I mean, London, when I was a very small child, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
was still in a shocking state from the bombing. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-Yeah. -Mm. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
-So it doesn't feel like history. -No. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
It was last week's news when I was a kid. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Amazing. All right, well, good luck, Sally. In this round, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-would you like to go first or second? -I think I'd like to go | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
second, please, Jeremy. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
OK, so, Chris, your first history question. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-The Stockton and Darlington Railway... -Oh! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-Fix! -JEREMY CHUCKLES | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
That's funny. You've given him the railway question. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-Oh... Right. -He loves his trains. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
..the world's first steam passenger railway was opened in which year? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Oh, dear, what a basic, elemental question. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
-It's almost... -HE SPEAKS IN GERMAN | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
It's 1825, Jeremy. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
You can translate for us, if you like. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Well, it's actually a quote from Gotterdammerung. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
"It almost shames me to mess about with these people." | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
LAUGHTER They've given you a question | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-that's too simple. -Yeah. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
1825 is the right answer. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
I'm afraid the chance of him getting that wrong, Sally, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
was remote or slight. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Your question. What was Lenin's real surname? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Ooh, I think I actually know that one. Um... | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
And I'm pretty sure I don't...I'm not sure how to pronounce it, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
but it's Ulyanov. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Ulyanov is right, well done. Good stuff. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Chris, which of these people used the ancient alphabet called Ogham? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
It's a strange system of carving things on the edges of stones. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
It was the Celts. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
It was the Celts, well done. Two for you. Back to you, Sally. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
In which century did the first known Viking raid destroy | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
the monastery at Lindisfarne? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
I can't even think around this one. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
I should know about the Vikings but when they destroyed Lindisfarne... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
I don't think it was as late as the 8th century. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Um... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
I'm going to go down the middle and say the 4th century but | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I'm not confident in that at all. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
All right, let me check with the Eggheads. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Eggs, can we do this with King Alfred or something or what? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-No, it's before Alfred. -Before Alfred. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
The Lindisfarne one was 793 so that's just in the 8th century. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
Yeah. So Kevin says it was 793. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
He's got it marked in his diary somewhere. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-8th century is the answer, Sally, sorry. -OK. -All right. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-Your question, Chris. -Yeah. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
If you get this right, you're in the final round. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
What was the subject of the Victorian collecting craze called | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
pteridomania, that was reflected in the decorative arts of the period? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
-I can spell it for you, if you want. -Mm-hm. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
It's P-T-E-R-I and then DOMANIA, all one word. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
Ah, yes, they almost drove some species to extinction. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
It was fern collecting, so it's ferns. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
If you've got this right, you are in the final round. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
So they had a lot of Victorian-style wallpaper and stuff with ferns on. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
They used to go out literally hunting ferns and digging them up. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Yes, now you mention it. I can see it in my mind's eye. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Ferns is correct. Chris, you're in the final round. Well done. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-Sorry, Sally. -OK. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Going second and the wrong answer and that bloomin' train question. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-Yeah. -Did for you, I'm afraid. -That was unfortunate. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Don't worry though. You can still captain your team | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
and we'll see what happens next. Please rejoin us. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
So, awkward start for Double Fault. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
They've lost a brain from the final round. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
The Eggheads are still sitting there | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
hoping to continue this roll they're on. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-It's Geography now. -Oh! -Geography. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-Sorry, Sally. -That was yours, Sally. -I wanted to do geography. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-That's my favourite one. -It's what you wanted, I'm sorry. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-Yeah, that's really... -So who would like this? -Helen? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-It would have to be Helen. -OK. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-I think it would be Helen against CJ. -Oh, gosh. -All right. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:38 | |
I can tell you watch the programme. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
So, Helen from Double Fault versus CJ, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
who hopefully will not get lost on the way to the Question Room. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
And to ensure there is no conferring, would you head there | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
and possibly someone can take CJ. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-So, Helen, you've lived all over the world. -I have, yes. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
My father was a helicopter engineer | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
and he started off working in Nigeria when he was younger | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
and then when I was born we went to Iran and Singapore and Abu Dhabi, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
and then he ended up in Trinidad and Tobago when I was older. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
So, yeah, I've travelled a lot and really enjoyed it. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-What a life. -Yeah, it was really good. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Amazing wildlife and amazing people, cultures, yeah. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
I was very privileged. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
How about you, CJ? Can you match that? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-You've been to Amsterdam. -I've been to Amsterdam. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-I think I've been to 52 countries so far. -Oh, wow. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
I want to get to 100 countries, that would be my aim. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
OK, we are sort of landlocked here in the studio so it won't happen now | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
but we can range throughout the world with this particular category. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
So, Helen, would you like to go first or second? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
I'll go first please, Jeremy. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
Here we are with your first question. Good luck. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Which word is taken from Dutch | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
and refers to a low-lying land reclaimed from the sea or a river? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
-Polder. -Oh, yeah. Bang on. That's not easy either. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
I know what scree is. What's esker? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
It's a hill formed by glaciers. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-A hill formed by glaciers? -Mm-hm. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
OK. CJ. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Which term refers to the arm of the Atlantic Ocean | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
that stretches between Canada and Greenland? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Uh, the Baltic Sea is in Northern Europe, the Bering Sea | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
is between Russia and Canada so I think that must be the Labrador Sea. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
It is the Labrador Sea, well done. Helen, over to you. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
The area called the Heavy Woollen District, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
named for the fabric that was manufactured there, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
is in which part of the UK? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
South Lanarkshire. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
OK, you went the way I wasn't expecting there. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
What made you do that? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
I think I remember it from history. Doing history O-level. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
-It is West Yorkshire. -Oh! -Let's ask Barry. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
When you're thinking of textiles you immediately think of Bradford | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
and Leeds, they were the great textile centres of the last century. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-And of course a lot of... -They're in West Yorkshire. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
..immigration came there as a result of needing the labour. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
That's right, absolutely. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
All right, so the answer is West Yorkshire there, Helen. Sorry. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
CJ, you can take the lead. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
In which city is the monument called Anna Livia, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
that was once nicknamed the Floozie in the Jacuzzi? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Could you spell the name, please? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Anna is A-N-N-A and then Livia is L-I-V-I-A. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
I haven't heard of Anna Livia but | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
I have heard of the Floozie in the Jacuzzi | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
And I thought it was closer to home. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
To me it sounds more like an Irish sense of humour | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
and I thought it was closer to home so I'll try Dublin. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
Dublin is the right answer. CJ takes the lead. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
So Helen, you are where Sally was and you must get this question | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
right now to stay in. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
The Gulf of Manfredonia forms part of the coastline of which country? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
Oh, gosh. I've never heard of it. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Um... Could you spell Manfredonia? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
Yeah. M-A-N-F-R-E-D and then O-N-I-A. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
All one word, sort of as you'd expect. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
OK. I really don't know but I'm going to go for Australia. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
Could see why you did that but it's Italy. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Italy is the answer. CJ, well done, you are in the final. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Helen, sorry, you've been knocked out. Do please rejoin your teams. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
Double Fault have lost two brains. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
-This is what, two serves into the net? -It is, yeah. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
But don't worry, another serve, another game. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
The Eggheads are all sitting there. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
They were sitting there like that just the other day | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
and they lost, OK? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
So you're not out of it, not by any means, as you know. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-Music is the next subject for you. -Ooh, we like that one. -Good. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-We like that. -Who would like that? -Chris. -Chris again. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-I'll do music, Jeremy. -Chris, OK. Against which Egghead? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
-Let's just...decide. -Not Chris or CJ. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-Judith? -You're probably best... | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
OK, yeah. I'll play against Judith, please. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
OK. So it's going to be Chris from Double Fault. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Judith, this is happening again. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-You've gone everyday Sport to everyday Music. -Yeah, I know. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
But you like melodies and rhythms. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Well, I do but I don't know their names. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
Oh, yes, of course. That is the small problem. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the special room. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Chris, you must tell me about your band. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
Yes, Jeremy. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
We haven't performed for a while but my band is called Squeezed Middle | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
and I'm a big fan of Difford and Tilbrook. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Oh, right, who were in Squeeze. Of course, they were Squeeze. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
And Jools Holland, of course. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
We do a few Squeeze numbers, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
Beatles, Stones, a bit of Paolo Nutini. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Yeah, I enjoy it. I'm a singer in the band, so yeah. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
Good. I hope you enjoy making the music, that's fantastic. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
And I'm also hoping that music doesn't veer into areas you're | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-unfamiliar with. -Me too, Jeremy. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
So would you like to go first or second against Judith? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
And here is your first question, Chris. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
Which of these patriotic songs includes the line, | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
"Thy choicest gifts in store"? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
OK, Jeremy. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
I haven't heard the line at all. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Admittedly, everyone seems to know | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
the first verse of the National anthem. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
CJ SPEAKS SILENTLY | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
I am going to go for I Vow To Thee My Country. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
OK, let's just work this one out. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
-Team, do you know? -The National anthem. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
The National anthem. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:54 | |
-So where does it...? -Uh! -Let's just work this one out. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-I'm pretty sure it's the second verse. -The second verse? -Yes. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
# Thy choicest gifts in store. # | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-I can only do it if I sing it and I'm not doing it. -You can say it. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
Yeah, sorry, Chris. It is the National anthem. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
OK, Judith. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
The singer Muddy Waters was famous | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
for his performances in which musical genre? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Muddy Waters. Not comic opera, anyhow. Blues. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
Blues is correct. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Chris, back to you. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
"Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?" | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
is the first line of the hit song by which band? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
This is more like it, Jeremy. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
-That is The Stranglers. -Yeah! -No More Heroes. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Of course. I bet you could sing the whole song. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
I could do but I'm not going to now. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-# Whatever happened to... -Leon Trotsky! # | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
What a song that is. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Judith, you would not have got that. | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
-No, I wouldn't. Of course not. -OK. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
Your question, Ms Keppel. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
The composer Igor Stravinsky was born in which year? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
Well, I think that must be 1882. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
I think it must be 1882. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Born in 1882. You're right, Judith. Well done, two points to you. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
All right, Chris, your question. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Because of the National anthem thing, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
you've got to get this one right. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
In 2005, which artist achieved the 1,000th number one single on | 0:15:34 | 0:15:41 | |
the official UK charts with One Night? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
I know Elvis, he did One Night With You. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Um... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
But that would've been a rerelease, obviously. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
Huh! I'm going to have to... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
..go with Cliff Richard. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
OK. It's wrong. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
The funny thing is, you said the right answer because | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
it is an Elvis song, you're right. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:14 | |
-# One night with you. # -Yeah. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Elvis Presley is the answer, Chris, sorry. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Yeah, it was a reissue, obviously, of the old song. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
Sorry about that. You've been knocked out by Judith. Well done. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
OK, Chris and Judith, please come back and rejoin your teams | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
and we'll see what happens next. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
So, tricky, Sally, at this point. Where are we in terms of tennis? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
We need new balls, I guess. THEY LAUGH | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
We need a whole new match, actually. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Well, you're not out of it, that's the key thing. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
With the tennis match, you can always come back. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
Double Fault on this side have lost three brains. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
The Eggheads have not lost any | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
and they are on this somewhat powerful run | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
so let's try and stop them. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
The next subject is Film & TV. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Who would like this? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-Julie. -You'd be good at this. -Yes. -Are you sure? | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-Yes, are you sure? -Yeah. -Are you OK, James? Definitely. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
-Against? -Oh, right, let's go... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
All right, Julie. You can have either Kevin or Barry. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Barry... | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
I think I'll take on Kevin, please. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
So, Julie from Double Fault will be serving at Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
Film & TV is the subject. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:24 | |
Julie, would you like to go first or second? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
I'll go first please, Jeremy. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
All right, Julie, good luck. Here is your first question. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
The Greendale Rocket is a steam engine that has featured | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
in which children's TV programme? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
Greendale I... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
Well, usually you say this, it's never right | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
but I'm going to go with Postman Pat. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
-Yes, you are right. Well done. The best-known of the three. -Yeah. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Good strategy, actually, on question one. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Just pick the answer that's most obvious. OK, Kevin. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
In which year was Casino Royale released, introducing Daniel Craig | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
as James Bond for the first time? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
Well, the last of the Pierce Brosnan Bonds | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
was Die Another Day and that was 2002. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Then there was about a four-year gap | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
before Casino Royale came out with Daniel Craig. So it was 2006. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
2006 is correct. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
OK, Julie. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Which cult horror film is set on the fictional Hebridean island | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
of Summerisle? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Again, I am going with the gut, leaning towards The Wicker Man. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
Let me see if you're right. Team, what do you think? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-Correct. -She's right. -Yeah, you're right. -Whuf! | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-Well done. -Get in! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Wicker Man, get in! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
All Right. Kevin, your question. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Which 1987 film had the famous tag line, "This time it's personal"? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
I'm just trying... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
I'm just trying to work out how 84 Charing Cross Road, | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
how that would work. Anyway... | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
I know it was a sequel of some kind so it must be Jaws - The Revenge. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:29 | |
Jaws - The Revenge is correct. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
OK, Julie. Your third question. You're playing well, by the way. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:37 | |
Which country's film industry is known as Ouallywood? | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
And Oually is O-U-A-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D. Ouallywood. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:48 | |
Ouallywood. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
Not one I'm familiar with, I must admit. Um... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
And they all begin with M so... | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
I'll have to go with the gut. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
It doesn't make any sense but I'm going towards Mongolia. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Your inklings have let you down on this occasion. It is Morocco. -Oh. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
I'm just trying to work out why Morocco. Kevin, can you tell us? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
I can only assume that the leading studios must be based | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-in a place that has that name. -Oually. -Of Oually-something, yeah. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
Two out of three for you. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
Julie, let's see whether that keeps you in. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
Kevin's third question for a place in the final. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Which of these TV dramas was created by Russell T Davies? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
Well, of those I know... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Well, I think I know that he did Queer As Folk. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Queer As Folk is correct, Kevin. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Three out of three, as you so often do. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
You are in the final. Sorry, Julie. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-That's OK. -There you go. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-He does tend to do that, I'm afraid. -Yeah. -Brave of you to take him on. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
Somebody has to do it. Come back to us and we will play the final round. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
We heard of Ouallywood there. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
We haven't done a lot of Ouallywood questions before. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
I've now found out, just so you know. Ouarzazate is this city. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
-Oh, Ouarzazat. -Ouarzazat or Ouarzazate becomes Ouallywood. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
That's a place where they filmed a lot of things like Living Daylights, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Gladiator, Kingdom Of Heaven. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
It's in the south, on the edge of the desert. I've been there. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
-It gives you a lot of... You've been there? -Yes. -Well, go on. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
Well, there's nothing more to say about it, I've been there. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
We want to hear everything. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
It's in the south, on the edge of the desert. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
There are Kasbahs there which are like villages all in one building. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
And they get renewed every spring because they're made entirely of mud | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
and in the winter they all get washed away. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
And so they pat them with bits of mud and put them back together. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
The whole village lives in this one building. It's fascinating. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
And when you were there, was that the film you were filming | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
which we can't talk about? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
Uh-ha! No, it was a very long time ago. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
Where you're starring opposite Bradley Cooper, that one? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Oh, golly, yes. I didn't want to talk about that. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
You mustn't say anything until it is properly out. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-Mustn't say anything at all. -No, nothing at all, Judith. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
All right, so now we know. This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
It is time for the final round, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
So, Sally, Helen, Chris and Julie from Double Fault, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
would you please leave the studio? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
OK, James, big moment. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
You're playing to win Double Fault £10,000 and your fellow competitors | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
will be very grateful if you win. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
CJ, Barry, Chris, Judith and Kevin, you are playing for something | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
that money can't really buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Sorry, that doesn't help you. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
So, James, the question is, | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
can you with your one brain defeat these five in a famous victory? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
-We'll see. -That's the right attitude. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
-Good luck. Do you want to go first or second? -I'll go second. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
And here is your first question, Eggs. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
In televisions that are referred to as being 4K, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
4K refers to roughly 4,000 what? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
-It's pixels. It's the definition of a screen. -The resolution. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-Are we all happy with pixels? -Yes. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Yes, these are televisions that have suddenly come to the fore. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
There's not really much point in buying them because although | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
they're 4K and they show 4,000 pixels, which is the right answer, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
there's not many programmes that are put out in 4K. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
So you don't actually get a chance to see them very much. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
But the answer is pixels. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Pixels is the right answer. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-I should've gone first, I've got a 4K TV. -You've got a 4K TV? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
-Probably should've taken that one. -Are you able to see it OK? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
I think it's one of those things, like Barry said, | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
technology advances so much that you buy it and it might be the best | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
thing then but it's always going to improve. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
-Is it almost too good for your eyes? -The picture quality is fantastic. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
Particularly for watching sport or something like that, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
the picture quality is very good. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Cos I met the BBC person in charge of HD and I said, | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
"Mine doesn't seem to be HD." | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
And she worked out it was cos I was sitting too far away from the TV. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
She said, "If you sit closer, it will look better." | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
-That is a cheaper way of doing it. -Get a smaller telly. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
Or get a new pair of glasses. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
OK, James. Sorry, we're mucking around here. £10,000 to play for. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
Which company announced that they would cease making their Defender | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
model in early 2016 after 67 years of continuous production? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:46 | |
Well, out of all of those, mostly logical name would suggest | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
it would be Land Rover so I'll go for Land Rover. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Spot on, well done. Land Rover it is. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Eggheads, your second question. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
The state of Oregon has an unusual flag with the state seal on one side | 0:25:03 | 0:25:09 | |
and a golden image of which creature on the other? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
-The Beaver State, isn't it -Yeah, it's the Beaver State, Oregon. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
-Sheldon Cooper presents them with flags. Ha-ha-ha! -Yes. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:24 | |
Oregon is known as the Beaver State | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
so I think that might be a clue of what's on the flag. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
The answer is beaver. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Beaver is the right answer. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
The striped skunk would be an unusual one, wouldn't it? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
OK, James, back to you. To catch up, your question. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
The term vespertine refers to which part of the day? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
I've not heard it before, vespertine. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Perhaps wrongly, I'm going to rule out midday. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
Vespertine. I'll try, just a guess, evening. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
-Eggheads, is he right? -Yes. -Vespers is an evening service. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
Vespers is the keyword, as Barry says, evening service. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
so evening is right. Two out of two. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
You've given them the initiative by letting them go first. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
If they get this right, there's going to be pressure on you | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
so keep focused there. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
Stay in 4K mode. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
Eggheads, the famous epitaph that reads, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
"When you go home, tell them of us | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
"and say for your tomorrow we gave our today," | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
is named after which Second World War battle? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
-It's the Kohima epitaph. -It can't be Monte Cassino. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
No. There's no epitaph I know for Arnhem. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
-We all happy which Kohima? -Yes. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
We believe the answer to that is Kohima. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
A little-known battle, unfortunately. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
And you're right. Kohima is correct. So three out of three. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Can you get three out of three or is the contest over? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
James, this is your moment. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
If you get it right, we go to Sudden Death. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
£10,000 we are playing for. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Here is your question. Tetum is an official language in which country? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:05 | |
That's spelt T-E-T-U-M. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Don't know again. I've not heard it. I'm trying to think of the... | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
..the language and if there is any link. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
I don't know so I have to guess. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
I will have a guess at the Philippines. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
Understood. Big country. Which one is it? | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
I think it's East Timor. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
-East Timor. -Yeah. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
Which is, I was going to say, a smaller country | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
but maybe there's a lot of... | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
You wouldn't think they'd have their own language there. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
It's a very small country but they | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
have got their own language, yeah. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
So the answer is East Timor and we have to say congratulations, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
Eggheads, you have won. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-James, sorry, you were chasing them there. -Yeah. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
And then the third question correct | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
always puts the pressure on, doesn't it? | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
-Yeah. I'd not heard of that before. -I hadn't either. Tetum. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
Tetum, East Timor. OK. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Commiserations to you and your team, Double Fault. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Great to see you all. Thanks for playing. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
and this winning streak continues with a bit of swagger as well. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
It does mean that you won't be going home with the £10,000 | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
Eggheads, well done again. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
I don't think you're ever going to lose. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
Join us next time to see | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
£11,000 says they won't do it. Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 |
