0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- They are the Eggheads. How are you feeling?- Good.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Oh, just good?- Yeah, can't be too committal at this stage.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Had a near miss in the last one, didn't you?- Yeah. It was a battle.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are...
0:00:44 > 0:00:46This friends and family team from Edinburgh,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49mainly composed of two father-and-son teams,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52who are as keen to beat each other as they are to beat the Eggheads.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54So let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Liam and I'm a stay-at-home dad.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Allan - a semi-retired pension administrator.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Neil and I'm a tourist board executive.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello. I'm Alex and I'm a technical architect.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Paul. I'm also a technical architect.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Liam and team, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So, father-and-son pairs here, Liam. Explain.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Yes. So, this is my dad, Allan. Neil and his dad, Alex.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And Paul is one of Alex's workmates.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Right, so you're keen just to show the dads
0:01:24 > 0:01:26that age does not mean wisdom?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Absolutely.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30There'll be bragging rights if I could win one and he couldn't.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And the team name - He Is Heavy, He's My Father -
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- I guess is a little bit based on The Hollies' song.- It is, yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. - That's right.- Right.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40There's no great story behind it, but when I was applying
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for the show, it was playing in the background.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I just thought, cos it was father and sons,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I'd do He Is Heavy, He's My Father.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51But it's a bit wrong because I'm a pound or 30 heavier than my dad.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- I hadn't even had that thought... - It's the shirt.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The shirt, yeah. Allan, speak up for the dads here.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Are the dads going to show the Eggheads or the sons?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I think the dads will do very well today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- All right, do you want to get started?- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:07 > 0:02:09up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14So, He Is Heavy, He's My Father,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19including a narrow squeak in the last,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23which means we're up to a £10,000 jackpot right now.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25If you're ready to start,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Who would like this? A father or a son?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- I think we'd said that... - Is that you, Allan?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- ..you'd take it, will you not? - OK, I'll go for it. Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK, one of the dads goes in.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Which of these young people here?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- You can take your pick. - I'll take Chris.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Big Chris, The Locomotive as he's known.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Allan from He Is Heavy, He's My Father
0:02:48 > 0:02:51versus Chris, no lightweight, from the Eggheads.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions
0:02:54 > 0:02:56in our famous Question Room.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Good luck here, Allan.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Thank you.- Film & TV.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Would you like to go first or second against our Chris?
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I'll go first, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Here we go.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Which of these TV competitions usually features one episode
0:03:12 > 0:03:16per series in which the remaining contestants have to take part
0:03:16 > 0:03:18in a series of job interviews?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I think it's The Apprentice.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It is The Apprentice, you are right.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Chris.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Boring, Bomb and Demolition are the titles of three of the episodes
0:03:35 > 0:03:40of which anarchic British sitcom first broadcast in 1982?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Last Of The Summer Wine did have its own kind of anarchy,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50but this is The Young Ones.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Yeah, that one is anarchic, you're right. The Young Ones.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Good old Rik Mayall, bless him.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Over to you, Allan.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Who was the star of the bawdy 1970s British comedy films
0:04:01 > 0:04:04known as the Confessions Of series?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I think that's not Sid James.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I think it's possibly Robin Askwith.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It is Robin Askwith, yeah. You're right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Chris, who co-stars with Cate Blanchett
0:04:23 > 0:04:25in the 2015 romantic drama Carol?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ah. Not my sort of thing at all. Um...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Don't think it's Scarlett Johansson. Don't think it's Keira Knightley.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I think it's Rooney Mara.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Rooney Mara is quite right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46You are level. Going along briskly here.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Third question could be crucial, Allan.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Which playwright adapted Anthony Shaffer's play Sleuth
0:04:53 > 0:04:57for a 2007 film starring Jude Law and Michael Caine?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I must be honest, I don't know this one.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Um...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I'll have to go with Christopher Hampton.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Chris, do you know?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I'd be inclined towards Tom Stoppard myself.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17You'd both be wrong. Harold Pinter is the answer.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Interestingly. I don't know how many films he did but this was one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Chris, who directed the films In The Heat Of The Night,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Rollerball, Fiddler On The Roof and Moonstruck?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Fiddler On The Roof, I'm fairly sure, was Norman Jewison.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Norman Jewison is the right answer.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Sorry, Allan, you got knocked out there by one of Chris's haymakers.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Chris will be in the final round. You won't be.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Come back to us. There is plenty of time for the Challengers.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55So, He Is Heavy, He's My Father have lost a father
0:05:55 > 0:05:58from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any brain so far.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00The next subject is Geography.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Which of you would like this? - Neil, I think that's you, isn't it?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Yeah.- OK. Go for it. - I'll go for it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- It's going to be Neil. - OK, Neil. One of the sons.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Against which Egghead?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Barry?- Yeah. Barry, please.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Barry. Known as "He's Been To Every Answer" Simmons.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- LAUGHTER So well travelled.- Not quite.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Neil from He Is Heavy, He's My Father
0:06:20 > 0:06:23versus Barry from the Eggheads. Please go to the special room.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Neil, it's Geography for you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And I gather you work for the Scottish Tourist Board.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I do. So, in principle, it should be a good topic for me.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yeah, if Scottish questions come up, for sure.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37We had one the other day, it was really interesting.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40How many islands are part of Orkney?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh, there is a lot of them.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I would guess there is 30 or 40-odd.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It was actually 7, 70 or 700 was the option.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50So you would have gone for the middle one, I guess?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Yes, I would have. - Yeah, because it's 70, amazingly.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So, good luck here, Neil.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57We've lost a father, we mustn't lose a son.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00OK, you're on Geography against
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Barry "He's Been To Every Answer" Simmons.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I think I'll let Barry go first. I'll go second, please.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Russia's Kola Peninsula lies almost entirely within which of these?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24The Kola Peninsula is way up in the north of Russia.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And that would put it in the Arctic Circle.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Absolutely right, Barry. Arctic Circle.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Over to you, Neil. Good luck.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The famous Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, which in its time has been
0:07:35 > 0:07:39both a church and a mosque, is now used as what?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Hagia is H-A-G-I-A.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm afraid I don't know the answer.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I would like to hazard a guess at museum, please.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52BARRY LAUGHS Barry?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Well, I have been there. You are quite right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56And it is a museum at the moment.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Museum is correct. See?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01He's been to every answer.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Barry, opened in 1907, the Hotel Adlon,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08which hosted guests including Albert Einstein, Franklin Roosevelt
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and Charlie Chaplin, is a famous location in which city?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Adlon...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I've been to Prague and Copenhagen and I don't recall it in
0:08:19 > 0:08:22either place. So on that basis, I'll go for Berlin.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25That's a good way of working it out. Berlin is right.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Back we go to our Challenger, Neil. To catch up.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33In London, Piccadilly is the name of the road that connects
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Piccadilly Circus directly to which park?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Again, not 100% sure.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46But I think it's Hyde Park.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yeah, very good. It is Hyde Park.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Not covered by the Scottish Tourist Board yet.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- LAUGHING:- No, not yet.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54That may change. Barry, the third question.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The national flag of which of these countries
0:08:57 > 0:09:00features a bird in the centre?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Kenya has a shield in the centre.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I don't believe it's Botswana.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I believe the national flag of Uganda has a bird in,
0:09:11 > 0:09:12so I'll go for Uganda.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Yes, it does. That's the correct answer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Disadvantage of going second, Neil.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19You've got to get this right to stay in.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Bandaranaike International Airport is which country's main
0:09:23 > 0:09:25international airport?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Absolutely no idea on this one.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37I would have to guess and I will guess Bangladesh.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41It sounds like it might be, the first three letters and all that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It's not, it's Sri Lanka. Sorry about that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48It's a bit outside your remit with the Scottish Tourist Board, I know.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51No shame in that. You lost to Barry, who is pretty handy at geography.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Come back to us, both of you, and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58He Is Heavy, He's My Father have lost two brains.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00They've lost a father and a son.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The Eggheads are still sitting pretty with this £10,000 jackpot.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You've got to try and get it off them. OK?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The next subject for you is Politics.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear? Who wants this?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Do you mind taking this one? - No, I'll take it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Take it for the team.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17OK, Paul at the end.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Technical architect. Against which Egghead?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I'll leave it up to you. - I'll try Judy, please, I think.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25- Judith.- Oops!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Did you just call her Judy?- I did.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Do you mind that, Judith? - What, Judy?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Yes, I really do. - LAUGHTER
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh, well. Got away with that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- I'm always called Judith. - All right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Did you notice how the atmosphere changed?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43But that's quite good because it might unsettle her.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Paul from He Is Heavy, He's My Father versus Judy...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50HE GASPS ..Judith from the Eggheads.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Politics, Paul. Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I'll try first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Here we go.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05By what title is the head of the Scottish Government known?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think First Minister sounds good.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I was drawn to that. I'll go First Minister.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15First Minister is correct.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Judith.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19In the British political system,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22who has the power to appoint and dismiss prime ministers?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I think the Queen does. So the monarch.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Monarch is right.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Paul.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Which of the following government departments was created in 1970?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I'm thinking...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52..that's about the time that things started to go all green.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Equally, I'm thinking about the Welsh independence thing.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Eh...
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'll go for Department of the Environment.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yes, that's a good one. It is the Department of the Environment.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK, Judith.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Who was Prime Minister when the UK's Supreme Court judges
0:12:08 > 0:12:12were sworn in on 1st October 2009?
0:12:15 > 0:12:172009.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19That was just before David Cameron.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23So it must be Gordon Brown.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Gordon Brown is correct.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Back to you, Paul.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Who was the runner-up in the 1994 Labour leadership election?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Right.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm ruling out John Prescott.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Not sure why.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'll go...Robin Cook.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53No, he didn't stand. Cos I think it was Margaret Beckett,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55John Prescott and Tony Blair, was it not?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I think it was three of them. John Prescott is the answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01So, Judith, to take the round...
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Joe Biden and Jesse Helms each served as chairman
0:13:06 > 0:13:10of the powerful US Senate committee on which area?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I think it's between Defense and Homeland Security.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think it's Homeland Security.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Foreign Relations is the answer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26- Oh, no. Really?- Yes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- That was the one I absolutely ruled out.- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31OK, after three questions, you're level.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33We go to Sudden Death, Paul.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35You've held her off. That's good.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Just need the advantage now. It gets a bit harder.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I don't give you alternatives.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Which recording artist, who had a UK number one as part of a duo,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1994
0:13:48 > 0:13:52to represent California's 44th Congressional district?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Oh, dear.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Sorry, could you repeat that, Jeremy, please?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Which recording artist, who had a UK number one as part of a duo,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1994
0:14:07 > 0:14:11to represent California's 44th Congressional district?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh, dear. I haven't got a clue.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So... Let's think of a duo.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Art Garfunkel?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25No, do you know this, Judith?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I was going to say Paul Simon.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29No, no. We'd know if they were in Congress.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The answer is Sonny Bono.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Ah!- Who was Sonny and Cher.- Yeah!
0:14:33 > 0:14:34He actually died, I think,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37about five years later in a skiing accident.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I thought of those and I was going to say Cher.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:14:42 > 0:14:43OK, bad luck.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Sudden Death, Judith.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47If you get this right you've won the round.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51In 1998, it was revealed that Geoffrey Robinson made a secret
0:14:51 > 0:14:57loan of £373,000 to which man so that he could buy his London home?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Lord Mandelson.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I need a first name and a surname.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Peter Mandelson.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Peter Mandelson is the right answer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07You are in the final round, Judith, on Politics.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Paul, you've been knocked out, I'm sorry to say.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And you will not be. Please come back to us.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13We will play one more round before the final.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So the Challengers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23We have seen two or three teams win quite recently from
0:15:23 > 0:15:27a single player in the final. So keep plugging away here, guys.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30The next subject for you is Music. Who would like Music?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31I think that's going to be me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Alex is going to be the saviour at the end.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- Team captain.- Yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Let me just look. We've lost a son, a father and a friend.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40So it's pretty evenly balanced so far.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44We've got another son going in now. Liam, who would you like to take on?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I think I'll take on Kevin.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50OK, Liam from He Is Heavy, He's My Father
0:15:50 > 0:15:52versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Please go to the Chamber of Concentration.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00OK, Liam, team captain. Big responsibility here
0:16:00 > 0:16:02to turn it around for the Challengers.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You are doing Music and you've taken on the Grand Master, Kevin.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I've tossed a coin and I'm going first.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Good luck, Liam.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Which of these musical instruments uses valves to regulate the pitch?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Definitely not a harp, that's strings.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Drum - part of percussion.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30So I guess I'll be going trumpet.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Trumpet is quite right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Kevin.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36According to the lyrics of Irving Berlin's song
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Let's Face The Music And Dance, "There may be..." what ahead?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43HE LAUGHS
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Sorry, I just like the traffic one. It's trouble.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Trouble is correct.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Back to you, Liam.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Which early 1980s recording featured a lead vocal by
0:16:55 > 0:16:58St Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Well, I know that Walking In The Air it's like a choir-type singing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But I thought that was Aled Jones or something like that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And I've never heard Bright Eyes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I do think There's No-One Quite Like Grandma
0:17:17 > 0:17:18has a bit like that at the start.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I don't really know, but I think I'm going to go down the middle and go
0:17:22 > 0:17:24There's No-One Quite Like Grandma.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27OK, I understand why you've done it cos I might have chosen
0:17:27 > 0:17:30that as well. Bright Eyes was Art Garfunkel.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31He's a grown-up.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33There's No-One Quite Like Grandma
0:17:33 > 0:17:36was a kind of school-type of ensemble, wasn't it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But when I think of Walking In The Air, Eggheads,
0:17:39 > 0:17:40I think of Aled Jones.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Yes, so do I.- So what's happening?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I don't know.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Walking In The Air is the right answer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49This must have been a pre-Aled version.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Or a post-Aled version.- Peter Auty had the first commercial recording,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56then Aled Jones sort of took it over as a party piece
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- till his voice broke.- Oh, I see.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00OK, back to Kevin
0:18:00 > 0:18:02to take advantage.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Which city features a park named after the composer Sibelius
0:18:06 > 0:18:09which contains a monument to him built from steel pipes?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Well, I'll do a Barry here, I've been there, I've seen it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's Helsinki.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Helsinki is the right answer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24He has pulled clear.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27But at least it wasn't the third question that undid you, Liam.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29See if you can get this one right now.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Who had a UK top ten single in 1999 with Music To Watch Girls By?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I think that that's...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Andy Williams. I think.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So I'll go for that.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49OK, yeah. Let's ask the dads. Is he right?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Yes.- Yeah. You got the thumbs up.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53You're right. Well done.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55So, you are level. You brought it back there.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57But Kevin has a question in hand.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Which composer, Kevin, won an Oscar for his score to the 1978 film
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Midnight Express?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It was one of those electronic scores that were very
0:19:12 > 0:19:14fashionable at the time.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I think, although they've all done things like this,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think that particular one was Giorgio Moroder.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Giorgio Moroder is the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27You're in the final. Sorry, Liam.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Knocked out.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I know you love to quiz as well.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- I know. - Not over for your team, though.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35If you come back to us, both of you,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38we will see what happens in the final for £10,000.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44It is time for our final round, which, as always,
0:19:44 > 0:19:45is General Knowledge.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:48 > 0:19:51can't take part, so that's Liam, Allan, Neil and Paul from
0:19:51 > 0:19:53He Is Heavy, He's My Father.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Well, good luck, Alex.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You are playing to win He Is Heavy, He's My Father £10,000.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- We've got one of the dads left in... - One dad left.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07..for the final here. Pat, Barry, Chris, Judith and Kevin,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09you are playing for something money can't buy,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13And just to pile up the money a bit more.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You are allowed to confer. I'm sorry that doesn't help you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- It doesn't.- But, Alex, the question is, can your one brain do
0:20:25 > 0:20:28what a few others have done recently and overwhelm these five?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Maybe attack them from the side.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I shall go first, please.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41General Knowledge. First question, Alex. Good luck.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45The Heimlich manoeuvre is a technique designed
0:20:45 > 0:20:47to treat someone who is doing what?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I believe that's choking.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53That is indeed choking.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Eggheads.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01In the late 1960s, hippies were most associated with which US city?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- San Francisco.- San Francisco.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm pretty sure that's San Francisco.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13As in...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15# We're all going to...
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- ALL:- # Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. #
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Absolutely. How we need Lisa for that.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23San Francisco is correct.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Alex, back to you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Which artist coined the phrase
0:21:26 > 0:21:30"In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes"?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That sounds like Andy Warhol.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38No messing around.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42You're right as well. Andy Warhol is correct.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Your question, Eggheads.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Golden Arrow was the name for a service beginning in 1929
0:21:48 > 0:21:54that took passengers from London to Paris via what mode of transport?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Train from London Victoria to Dover, ferry from Dover to Calais,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and train from Calais to Paris.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09But there was an overnight service called the Night Ferry
0:22:09 > 0:22:12with Wagon-lit sleeping cars that actually took the sleeping cars on
0:22:12 > 0:22:16the train ferry. So you could go to bed in London and wake up in Paris.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17It's train, anyway.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Are you sure, Chris?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- LAUGHTER - Yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You'll never catch Chris on a question about trains.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It's never happened in the history of Eggheads.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Train is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So, two each. You are playing really well, Alex.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Get this one right and a shiver will pass across them.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Raoul Duke is the name of the main character in which cult novel?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50It's R-A-O-U-L D-U-K-E.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Right, it's not Catch-22.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So it's a choice of the other two.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58And I shall go for Fear And Loathing.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01You are quite right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Excellent.- So there is a little bit of excitement now behind you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Your team-mates realising that
0:23:07 > 0:23:10you are possibly one question away from £10,000.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14In fact, no questions away cos you've answered all of yours.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17All that has to happen now is confusion in the ranks.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Which Governor General of Australia dismissed
0:23:21 > 0:23:23the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- I thought it was John Kerr. - Yeah, it's John Kerr.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- That's what... - Quentin Bryce is more recent.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- I don't think it's Peter Cosgrove. - Peter Cosgrove was Irish, wasn't he?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's different... Yeah, I think this is John Kerr.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44All right, we are all agreeing on John Kerr.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48We think that's John Kerr.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51John Kerr is correct, Pat. Yes.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56If they got it wrong, you would have won £10,000.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Instead we go to Sudden Death, Alex.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Are you ready?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I am.- In Cockney rhyming slang, what is a whistle and flute?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07It's a suit.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's a suit. You're right.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Eggheads, with £10,000 to play for...
0:24:12 > 0:24:16In Scrabble, how many points is the letter Z worth?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Ten.- Ten?- Ten.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Two letters are worth ten. Q and Z.- Q and Z.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Q and Z - ten.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27That's ten.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Ten is right.- Although in Polish Scrabble, it's worth one.- Oh.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Because they've got so many of them? - That's right. Yes.- It's true.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36£10,000 you are playing for.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Keep on getting them right, Alex and at some point, they will fall over.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Oscar Wilde famously remarked that a cynic was someone who knew
0:24:44 > 0:24:47the price of everything and the value of... what?
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Nothing.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Nothing is correct.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51We are on Sudden Death.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53It can end very quickly.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54£10,000 to play for.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Eggheads, of the six actors that have played James Bond
0:24:59 > 0:25:05in official James Bond films, who is the shortest?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Daniel Craig is fairly short. - Sean Connery is tall, I've met him.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12George Lazenby is tall. Big Fry in the advert.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Roger Moore is kind of medium, isn't he?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Who else is there?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Pierce Brosnan might be small.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- PAT:- Just name a Bond actor.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Timothy Dalton. - Daniel Craig, how big is he?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Daniel Craig is quite tall.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Is he?- Mm-hmm.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- PAT:- Lazenby.- Do you think?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Oh, dear. What a question.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36That's a tough question.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Let's go through the Bonds.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- OK, Sean Connery. - No, definitely not.- Tall.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- Who's next?- George Lazenby.- George Lazenby.- Roger Moore is next.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Is he a possibility?- Roger Moore?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- I don't think he's particularly short.- No, he's not, is he?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Let's just keep him as a possibility.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56He towers over Tony Curtis in Persuaders.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Who is third, Roger Moore? - George Lazenby.- Lazenby.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07He was Big Fry so he can't be short.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09OK, who is after Roger Moore?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Timothy Dalton. - Timothy Dalton, how big is he?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Was he the...? - It could be Timothy Dalton.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Not as far as I'm aware, no.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20And we've got Pierce Brosnan, who I think is taller.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I think Pierce Brosnan might be the smallest.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I don't think Pierce Brosnan is especially big.- No.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- And then Daniel Craig.- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And Daniel Craig. You think he's quite tall.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Do you think... I think Daniel Craig is quite tall, isn't he?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35I may be wrong.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I thought Daniel Craig wasn't particularly tall.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44My gut feeling is it's between Daniel Craig and Timothy Dalton.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45What about Pierce Brosnan?
0:26:45 > 0:26:51- I don't think so.- So what are the three? Pierce Brosnan, who else?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Timothy Dalton is a possibility.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Daniel Craig, I think.- We don't really know about Roger Moore.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Nah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I think Roger Moore is quite tall.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I'm trying to think of a studio picture with Daniel Craig in it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12He's very muscular but that doesn't necessarily mean he's tall.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Are we having a vote?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- OK. Dalton.- Dalton.- Brosnan.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Dalton.- Brosnan.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- It's very speculative. - It's entirely speculative.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23It is simply just whim.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- JUDITH:- Three Brosnans.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- PAT:- I'm afraid we are a bit stumped.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31But for no reason whatever, we are plumping for Pierce Brosnan.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33OK, Pierce Brosnan is your answer.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Do you know the answer?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Haven't a clue. I might guess Daniel Craig though.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41There is only one under 6ft.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And it is indeed Daniel Craig.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And that is the third one on the bounce that you've lost
