0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Mole Valley Misfits from Surrey.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Now, this team is made up of members from five different rotary clubs
0:00:41 > 0:00:42based in the Mole Valley.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The quintet has been hand-picked by team captain Simon
0:00:45 > 0:00:48who sets the questions for rotary quizzes.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Simon and I'm a sales and marketing director.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Barry and I'm a retired market analyst.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Jean, I'm a retired IT consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Keith and I'm a retired engineering consultant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Peter and I'm a part-time author.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- So, Simon and team, great to see you. Thanks for coming.- Thank you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Are you looking forward to this? - Absolutely.- Yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- You don't hang out together normally, is that right?- No!
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Definitely not, no.- Is the phrase hang out the wrong phrase?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Erm, well, we...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24As you say, we're all members of rotary clubs within Mole Valley.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We're all very involved in quizzing.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We've never quizzed together before.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And unless we win today and go on tour around the Mole Valley,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33we will certainly never quiz together again.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, I wouldn't rule it out. OK, good luck.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:38 > 0:01:40up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So, Mole Valley Misfits,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51So, that means £2,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Would you like to try? - Absolutely.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Excellent, the first head-to-head battle
0:01:55 > 0:01:57is on the subject of Geography.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, who would like this?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Erm, right, I'm out. Geography?- No, you do it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04You do it. OK.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- OK, I'll do it, Jeremy. - Barry's going to have a crack.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- OK, Barry. Against which Egghead, Barry?- Good luck with that.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15CJ? Oh, yes, everybody picks CJ. So, we'll pick CJ.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19JEREMY CHUCKLES So, Barry versus CJ of the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Please go to our famous Question Room.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, Geography, Barry, and would you like to go first or second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I think it's traditional to go first, so I'll keep with that
0:02:29 > 0:02:30and go first, please.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Good luck, Barry, here's your first question against CJ.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Which of these is a feature of land described as a tundra?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Right, well it's nice to have
0:02:46 > 0:02:49a relatively straightforward one first.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52It's certainly not forest and it's not sand dunes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's frozen ground.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Frozen ground is correct.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57CJ, the national flag
0:02:57 > 0:03:00of which of these countries
0:03:00 > 0:03:02consists of three horizontal stripes?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Denmark, I believe, is a Nordic cross.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10The Czech Republic...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15..has gone out of my mind for the moment.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I don't know what the Czech Republic flag is.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Bulgaria should be three stripes but let me just...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm desperately trying to think what the Czech Republic is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And I can't...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29My brain's completely, for some reason, gone completely addled.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I can't remember Bulgaria, it's certainly three stripes,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35whether they're vertical or horizontal.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Three horizontal stripes? - Three horizontal stripes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Czech Republic.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, what does the Czech Republic flag look like?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50It has a large triangle on the hoist side and then three stripes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So, it's a triangle and three stripes with the Czech...
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Of course it is!- Bulgaria is the answer, CJ. OK, this is good, team.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Got one answer right and you're already ahead.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Barry, which Welsh town has a regular ferry service to Dublin?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Well, it would be very difficult
0:04:12 > 0:04:14to come from Hay-on-Wye, I would have thought.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And having come from more or less that neck of the woods,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20born in Liverpool, I know it's from Holyhead.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21It is from Holyhead, well done.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Two points to you. So, CJ, if you get this wrong,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26you're in trouble. Well, you're out.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Which of these English seaside resorts is furthest north?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, that's nasty!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Skegness is in Lincolnshire, Scarborough's in North Yorkshire.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Not sure where Bridlington is
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but I think it's further south than Scarborough,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48so I'll try Scarborough.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Yes, Scarborough is correct.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51All right. If you get this one
0:04:51 > 0:04:53right, Barry, you're in the final.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54What is the capital of Namibia?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, I was looking at capitals yesterday
0:05:02 > 0:05:04but didn't really get as far as Africa,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08although there's been a lot of discussion about African capitals.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I think that's Windhoek.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Windhoek is indeed Namibia. Well done, Barry, you've taken the round.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Sorry, CJ, brain freeze.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I deserved that completely.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- OK, the Bulgarian flag has swept you out.- Absolutely right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27And, Barry, you're in the final. Please come back to us and play on.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So, good start for the Mole Valley Misfits,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33who've managed to cast off CJ.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36They haven't lost any brains from the final round,
0:05:36 > 0:05:37the Eggheads have lost one.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39And we go to Science. Who would like this?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Um, I think you, Keith?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- That was your shout. - It will be me, Jeremy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Keith, OK. Retired engineering consultant. Against which Egghead?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Barry?- Yeah. OK.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Barry! - Barry, known as the Brain.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Whoa, that was a surprise! - You haven't been picked for so long.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I've forgotten what it's like to be picked for a head-to-head.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I think it's six games out of seven or something?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Six out of the last seven, I wasn't picked.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- So, you've made his day, made his day.- Oh.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So, it is Keith from the Mole Valley Misfits versus
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Barry from the Eggheads.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16please, gentlemen, take your positions.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20OK, Science, Keith, first or second?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21First, please, Jeremy.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26And here is your question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31In meteorology, what name is given to irregular air motions
0:06:31 > 0:06:35characterised by winds that vary in speed and direction?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Well, affluence is to do with your wealth, coherence would be...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Well, not sure.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50But they're certainly talking about turbulence in this case.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Yes, it is certainly turbulence, well done.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Barry, your question.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57On which part of a horse's body is its fetlock?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04The fetlocks, I believe, are on the leg.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Leg is correct.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK, back to you, Keith.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14In November 1969, who became the fourth man to set foot on the Moon?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I'm not sure about this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I've just got an inklet that it might be Michael Collins.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30He was definitely involved somehow. Let's check with Barry. Barry?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Michael Collins ran the...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What was on the Apollo 11 but he didn't set foot on the Moon.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes, he was in the orbiter, wasn't he?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40James Lovell was in Apollo 13
0:07:40 > 0:07:44but the third and fourth men on the Moon were Conrad and Bean.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- Alan Bean, Keith.- OK.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Barry, which of these is a type of lizard?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well, a katydid is a sort of grasshopper or cicada.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And an agouti is a small rodent-like animal
0:08:00 > 0:08:04which I have seen in South America crossing the road in front of me.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06But a chuckwalla is a lizard.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Chuckwalla is indeed a lizard, well done.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, Keith,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- you must get this right.- OK.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17What is the technical term for the bone in the human body
0:08:17 > 0:08:19popularly known as the anvil?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, I think the clue must be in the description of an anvil.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31So, maxilla doesn't really sound
0:08:31 > 0:08:34as though that would be shaped like an anvil.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Erm, the other two, I can't see any clue in the words.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, it will be a bit of a guess between those two
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and I think I'll plump for talus.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Now, interestingly, I...
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- Embarrassing story, while dancing badly on Strictly...- Oh, yes?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00The charleston really hit my talus. It swelled up.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04And the talus is, my understanding is the foot.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05- Am I right?- Mm-hm.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07And so, it's in the foot area.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- It's not the right answer here.- Oh.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Maxilla is the jaw.- Maxilla is the jaw, where is the incus?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- In your ear.- In the year, so it's almost the eardrum area.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes, presumably it's something you bang.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Incus is the answer, it's in the ear.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Keith, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out by Barry.- OK.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Barry will be in the final.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Beaten by an Egghead, no shame there.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Please, gentlemen, return, rejoin your teams.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So, Mole Valley Misfits have lost one brain,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Where do we go from here? We go to Sport.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So, who would like this, Simon?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Erm, right. What did we decide on that?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- I'll take one for the team. - Oh, yeah?- Well done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50As long as it's not American football.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54OK, Peter and which Egghead? Can't obviously be CJ or Barry.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Judith, please.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Peter from Mole Valley Misfits
0:09:58 > 0:10:00versus Judith from the Eggheads on the dreaded Sport.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Come on, Judith. You can do it. Please go to the Question Room.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- On Sport, Peter, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13And here is your question.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Which country's Athletics Federation was provisionally suspended
0:10:17 > 0:10:22from international competition by the IAAF in November 2015?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Er, not Greece, certainly not USA.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30It was Russia.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It was indeed Russia.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Judith,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37which of these footballers is the tallest?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I have absolutely not a first...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I thought you were going to say Peter Crouch,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47who I know is very tall.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49What about that one in the middle?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52With the unpronounceable name.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Cristiano Ronaldo sounds little and nippy.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01And Lionel Messi...
0:11:03 > 0:11:04..rather the same.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So, I think Zlatan is the tall one.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12So, your height is a function of the number of letters in your surname?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14SHE LAUGHS Is that what we've come to?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Got to go on something, haven't you?
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Well, you are right, by the way.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Oh, no! - SHE LAUGHS
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- How absolutely wonderful.- 6ft 5 and Messi is very short.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24OK, back to you, Peter.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28In which decade of the 20th century did Dick Francis
0:11:28 > 0:11:32win his only National Hunt Champion Jockey title?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Well, I'm fairly old and I only remember him as an author.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So, therefore, it certainly isn't the '90s.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50It wouldn't be the '70s so it must be the 1950s.
0:11:50 > 0:11:511950s, please.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- And he then wrote all those books, didn't he?- He did.
0:11:54 > 0:11:551950s is right.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59OK, Judith.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04The laws of test match cricket state that, on the first day of a game,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08unless an innings ends or an interruption occurs,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12play shall continue until at least how many overs are completed?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I imagine that's meaning over the five days of the test,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23or whatever it is.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I think it must be 90, then.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28OK.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'm assuming that means the whole test match, which is five days.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Well, I did read the phrase on the first day of a game.- Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Anyway, doesn't matter, you have it right.- Oh.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Did it only mean the first day? - Yes, it did.- Oh.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Well, that's lucky, another lucky. - Yes. All right. Peter.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50New Zealand rugby union international Jonah Lomu
0:12:50 > 0:12:51usually played in which position?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Well, he's one of the greatest players of all time
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and absolutely reduced the England team -
0:13:00 > 0:13:03being Welsh, I rather enjoyed that -
0:13:03 > 0:13:07while he was playing on the wing and scoring a record number of tries.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Brilliant, you're quite right. Wing is it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Well done. Wing is right.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Judith,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14your question to stay in.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20In tennis, how many players compete in the men's singles competition
0:13:20 > 0:13:23at the ATP World Tour Finals?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31That's the one in November, the O2 thing, isn't it? It's eight.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Eight is right.- Hmm.- Three out of three on Sport for you both.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, we go to Sudden Death. Gets a bit harder, Peter.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't give you alternatives, OK? Here's your question.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Silly mid-off and silly mid-on are positions in which sport?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Thank you very much. Cricket.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52OTHERS LAUGH Cricket. Cricket is right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Judith,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57which of golf's four major tournaments
0:13:57 > 0:14:03did Arnold Palmer win on four occasions between 1958 and 1964?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Erm, the Masters.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Masters is the right answer. - God, lucky!- US Masters.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK, Peter.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Here is your question.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17At which racecourse do horses cross the Melling Road during a race?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22OK, I believe it's very close to the start of the Grand National,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25therefore the racecourse is Aintree.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Aintree is the right answer.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30OK, Judith.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, cut the ribbon to officially start
0:14:34 > 0:14:39which sporting event in 2014 outside Harewood House in Yorkshire?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Erm, it might be a horse trials
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but I can't think of what name to give it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Erm, I'm sorry, I can't think. Can't think, no idea.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- You think it's something horsey?- I think it might be something horsey.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- OK, it's wrong. Tour de France. - Oh, Tour de France.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Of course it was in Yorkshire,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02that they ran a particular leg of it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yes.- So, well done, Peter.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07On Sudden Death, you've beaten Judith.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Return to us, please, and we'll play on.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13So, we've lost Judith on Sport again.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16And as it stands, the Mole Valley Misfits have lost a brain
0:15:16 > 0:15:20from the final but the Eggheads have now lost two.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And the next subject is Film and TV, so who would like this?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think we're agreed, aren't we?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- I think that's you. - I think that's me, please, Jeremy.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31OK, Simon. Against which Egghead? You can have Chris or Pat?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Oh, as long as it's not films about trains,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I think we'll have a go with Chris, please.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It's always the Titfield Thunderbolt!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Is that a film about a train?- Yeah. - Best Ealing comedy of all time.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Of course, of course. - You were very young.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47So, Simon from Mole Valley Misfits
0:15:47 > 0:15:51versus Chris the Locomotive from the Eggheads.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Simon, Film and TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Good luck, Simon.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09On which TV quiz show do contestants lose five points
0:16:09 > 0:16:13if they interrupt the starter question with an incorrect answer?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, Wheel Of Fortune is all about the money
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and there's no points involved.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Countdown, again the points only ever go up for
0:16:27 > 0:16:29getting the words right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31So, the answer is University Challenge.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Yes, it is University Challenge, well done.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Chris,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38which of these venues is often a location
0:16:38 > 0:16:40for Strictly Come Dancing?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well, it wouldn't be Wembley Stadium, would it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51That would be a bit draughty and cold.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55If I were staging Strictly, I'd take it to Blackpool Tower Ballroom
0:16:55 > 0:16:58so that's what I'll have to answer, Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02You've obviously been watching carefully, Chris.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05The whole series they talk about it. Blackpool Tower Ballroom is correct.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Hmm.- Simon.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Which 1997 film starred Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Well, on the strength of only really knowing I think Julia Roberts
0:17:25 > 0:17:28was in Runaway Bride and I'm not too sure who was in the other two,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'll go with Runaway Bride, please.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32No, it was My Best Friend's Wedding.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Chris, your question.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Who starred in the comedy short The Music Box
0:17:37 > 0:17:41in which a piano must be moved up a flight of stairs?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's an absolute classic with Laurel and Hardy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Laurel and Hardy is the right answer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, you need to get this one right, Simon.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56What is the name of the human girl
0:17:56 > 0:18:01at the centre of the 2015 animated film Inside Out?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I know some of the characters that are in her head.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm not sure of the actual main character's name.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's going to be a complete guess at Patty.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Let's see if the Eggheads know this. Eggheads?- Riley.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Riley is the name. Sorry, Simon.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Chris has won, he's in the final.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27You've been knocked out.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30If you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36it is time for the final round.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:40 > 0:18:42won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So, Simon and Keith from the Mole Valley Misfits
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and CJ and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49would you please now leave the studio?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Barry, Jean and Peter,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55you're playing to win the Mole Valley Misfits £2,000.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Pat, Barry and Chris, you're playing for something money can't really buy
0:18:58 > 0:19:00which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07You are allowed to confer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, Mole Valley Misfits,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13the question is can your three brains defeat these three?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16We would like to go first, please.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Jean and team, good luck. Here we go with your first question.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Which of these words is used to refer to loose-fitting clothing
0:19:28 > 0:19:30worn by military personnel?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- I think it's fatigues. You think? Fatigues, yes?- Loose fitting.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40We all agree, then?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42We think that's fatigues, Jeremy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Fatigues is correct.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Eggheads,
0:19:46 > 0:19:51which birthday would Elvis Presley have celebrated in 2015?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58He was 42 when he died in 1977.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59He was born in 1935, yes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Born in 1935, yes?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Then add 80, you get 2015.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Yes, 80.- 80th.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10We think he'd have celebrated his 80th birthday.
0:20:10 > 0:20:1280 is correct.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14One each, back to you, Challengers.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17What is the first line of the work that ends,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21"And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22"it tolls for thee."
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- It's John Donne. - It's not Tyger! Tyger!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35No, it's John Donne, it's No Man Is An Island.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Yes, Stop All The Clocks is Auden. - I know that, definitely.- So, yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44We definitely know that is No Man Is An Island.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46You've got it all taped up there, yes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Absolutely right, No Man Is An Island.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50OK, Eggheads, to catch up.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54What is the demeanour of a person described as panglossian?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Dr Pangloss was the optimist in Candide.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Hyper-optimistic philosopher.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- So, a panglossian person would be...- Optimistic.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12We think he'd be optimistic, Jeremy.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And you're all panglossian yourselves, aren't you?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Optimistic is right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Your third question, it's equal.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Two points each.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Get this right, put some pressure on them.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27In Japanese cuisine, what type of food is gyoza?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30That's spelt G-Y-O-Z-A.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Know anything about Japanese cuisine?- Not a thing.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I wouldn't have thought it was octopus.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Got kind of a vague feeling it's filled dumplings.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50It's not, skewered meat is like teppanyaki, isn't it?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- I'm sorry, I have...- The Japanese still have skewered meat.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56John Donne I know, this I don't.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I would say it was filled dumplings.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I've got a vague feeling it's filled dumplings.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- I don't think it's the octopus. - We're not sure...
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- That's tempura, they'd be tempura. - Yes, that's true, maybe.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09So, given we don't really know,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11we're going to go for filled dumplings.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Filled dumplings is your answer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Now, the person to ask about this is Barry.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16I think that's right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Yes, absolutely right. Filled dumplings it is.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Barry loves Japan.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22OK, Eggheads.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26If you get this wrong, the contest is over and you've lost.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28In sequential order,
0:22:28 > 0:22:34which creature follows the dragon in the Chinese lunar calendar?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Goodness.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42There was a mnemonic to remember this
0:22:42 > 0:22:45but I can only remember the first line, which is the first four
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and none of those are in it, which is unfortunate.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51I have a feeling...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I can remember standing in a Chinese takeaway
0:22:53 > 0:22:57staring at their little calendar, trying to memorise this sequence.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00And it's one of two.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Unfortunately, I've not got complete control over my mnemonic.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10It's MHD-SHG-PROTRD.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Or it's SHG-MHD-PROTRD.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17The D is at the end, that's the dragon
0:23:17 > 0:23:19so it's either monkey or snake.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Depends which of them comes first.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26My instinct as...first I heard it was for monkey.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Well, they wouldn't have...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I can't think they'd have dragon and snake together.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33They wouldn't have a reptile together, would they?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm slightly inclined with snake.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Ah.- SHG-MHD-PROTRD.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Hmm, it's all very murky, though. Haven't got a grip on it at all.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47If the D is the last dragon and it starts MH...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Well, I think it's SHG...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Oh, I see.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55SHG-MHD-PROTRD, but I'm not completely certain.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56I could be wrong.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I have...
0:23:59 > 0:24:00I have a slight feeling that MHD
0:24:00 > 0:24:02is buried in the middle of the mnemonic.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Right, we'll go with your instinct.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's served us right in the past.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07It's a slightly broken mnemonic.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09OK, we'll go with your instinct.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yes, having terrible mnemonic trouble here.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Erm, here we go.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Snake.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Snake, OK. If you're wrong, the contest is over.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19But you're right, it is snake.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Oh!- It is snake.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So, you're keeping them at bay.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Press the advantage.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Sudden Death, gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33For what do the letters H and S stand in HS2,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37a planned railway link between London and the North of England?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- High-speed, yes?- High-speed. - Unless it's a trick question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It's not a trick question. - I'm sure that's exactly what it is.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44We think that's high-speed, Jeremy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Yes, High-Speed 2.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Eggheads, something
0:24:48 > 0:24:51described as decennial happens how often?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Every ten years?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Sounds like it, doesn't it? - Could you just spell that, please?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58D-E-C-E-N-N-I-A-L.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- It must be, every ten years. - Yes, every ten years.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02- Every ten years?- Mm-hm.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Every ten years.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Every ten years is correct.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Challengers, in which century
0:25:07 > 0:25:10was the University of St Andrews founded?
0:25:10 > 0:25:16- Oh. Oh, my word.- It's got to be...- Which century?- 14th.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- You think?- Oh, it's very old. - St Andrews?- It's very, very old.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's the oldest of the Scottish universities.
0:25:23 > 0:25:30- And it's either 14th.- 1400s. - So, the 15th century.- 15th century.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- You really think it's around that time?- I do.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Compared to Cambridge colleges, for example?- I do.- Go on, then.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We are going to go for the 15th century.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Correct, it was 1413, well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Well done! Well done, Peter.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Eggheads, "Just like the ones I used to know"
0:25:46 > 0:25:50is a line from the song White Christmas written by which composer?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Irving Berlin.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Who would it be? Irving Berlin, who's the other one?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I'm sure it's Irving Berlin. - White Christmas, Irving Berlin.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- It's not Cole Porter.- No.- It's not Sammy Cahn.- It's Irving Berlin.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Irving Berlin. - Irving Berlin is correct.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Sudden Death, playing for £2,000.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Mole Valley Misfits,
0:26:11 > 0:26:180116 is the area dialling code for which Midlands city?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I think that's Birmingham.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- No, it's not. 121 is Birmingham. - 0116? Oh, yes, it is.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Derby. Derby or Nottingham. Nottingham or Leicester.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Let us think, hang on. It's 0116.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39So, in the old days, when it was alphabetic, the 1 was...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's close to the beginning of the alphabet. So, it could be Derby.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- No, I think it's Nottingham.- I think it's Nottingham.- It too far, surely?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- No, I think...- You sure it's Nottingham?- No, I'm not sure.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Because I know it and my kids went to university there.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- And it's Nottingham?- That's why I think I know it, yes.- OK, go for it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Yes.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57We think it might be Nottingham?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Let's see what the Eggheads think. Are they right?- Not sure.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Yeah, it's a tricky one. It's Leicester.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05- Oh, Leicester!- Sorry.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yeah, Leicester.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Sorry!- Don't worry. - OK, we're on Sudden Death.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Eggheads, you can take the contest with this answer.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15What name was given to Norman Wilkinson's
0:27:15 > 0:27:20extraordinary camouflage patterns for First World War ships?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- They were dazzle ships.- With dazzle painting and dazzle ships.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- Dazzle ships, yes.- Dazzle?- Dazzle painting.- Dazzle painting.- Mm-hm.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Dazzle painting. Or dazzle.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36To break up the outline of ships and confuse U-boat captains,
0:27:36 > 0:27:37the answer is dazzle.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Well done, Eggheads. You have won.- Phew!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Well, you gave them a run for their money there, my goodness. Well done.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53You really were punching your weight there, brilliant.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55So, commiserations to the Mole Valley Misfits,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58the Eggheads have done what comes fairly naturally to them.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00They did make heavy weather of it today.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And they do reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- That was a marathon. - That was a marathon.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14But it shows what you're made of and particularly your mnemonic, Pat.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15That was impressive.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Join us next time to see if Pat will reveal another mnemonic.
