0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:33- They are the Eggheads. Back to winning ways?- Yes.- On the way back.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36OK. Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are Wind Plus from County Durham.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, the majority of this team share
0:00:41 > 0:00:44a passion for wind instruments, which often come up in our quizzes,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and they met through the Durham Music Service.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Judith. I'm a woodwind teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm also a woodwind teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Paul, and I work in IT support.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Jean, and I'm a retired legal consultant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Carolyn and I'm a brass teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- So, Judith and team, welcome.- Hello!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- And tell us about which instrument you play, Judith.- I play the oboe.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- OK. So, everyone here is a wind instrument person?- Except for Paul.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Except me.- Paul, now how did you get in the team, Paul?- I'm the Plus.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- The rest of them are all wind and I'm the Plus.- OK.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm married to Caroline.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Understood, and Wind stands for something else?- It does, actually.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Some of us have met through work
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and we started going out for meals together.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And after a few meals, it became apparent that WIND
0:01:36 > 0:01:39also stands for Women Into Naughty Desserts.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Well, certainly not arguing with that. Eggheads also...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Eggheads into their naughty desserts, I think. Aren't we all?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh, yes!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51OK, good stuff.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So, Wind Plus.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The Eggheads have won just the last two games.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It means £3,000 says you can't beat them today. Would you like to try?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Yes, we would.- Good stuff.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I want music to come up, but I don't know what's coming.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Politics, who wants this?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I think it's me, isn't it? - It is!- It's me!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Paul's going to do it.- OK, Paul. Against which Egghead, Paul?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Any one of the five.- Strategy...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Dave or Judith, I think. - Dave or Judith.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Shall I try Dave? Go for Dave? - Yes!- I'll play Dave.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32OK, Paul from Wind Plus on Politics
0:02:32 > 0:02:35versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Please go to our legendary Question Room now.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, Paul, you've a run out on Ken Bruce's PopMaster?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I have, that's right.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48This was ten years ago and I actually won my game,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- got 24 points, and I won the digital radio.- Oh, right!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Do you remember any particular question
0:02:53 > 0:02:54that was a good one for you?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I do remember that there was a question relating to
0:02:56 > 0:02:59instrumentals from the '60s and I didn't actually know the answer,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01but I guessed The Shadows and I was very pleased
0:03:01 > 0:03:03that was the right answer.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05But of course, in this game, you can't really do the Music round
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- because everyone else is a musician. - Well, yes, actually.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It may have worked out that way, to be honest, but the strategy
0:03:11 > 0:03:13has gone out of the window now.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Good luck on Politics against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Your question, Paul.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27In 1999, Alun Michael became the first First Secretary
0:03:27 > 0:03:30of the assembly of which country in the United Kingdom?
0:03:33 > 0:03:39I...think 1999 was the time of the Scottish Parliament,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41so I would go for Scotland.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yeah, actually, you've gone the wrong way because it's Wales.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- OK.- Dave, your question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51In September 2012, an apology about tuition fees
0:03:51 > 0:03:53by which politician went viral
0:03:53 > 0:03:56when it was remixed into an autotuned version
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and released on the internet?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Let's see. Person who did that was Nick Clegg.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Nick Clegg is right, and it was very funny. How he remixed that...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10so quickly, I've got no idea.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, he's ahead, Paul. Try and stop him.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17In 1931, which Conservative leader criticised the press
0:04:17 > 0:04:20for seeking power without responsibility.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, the Prime Minister in 1931 was definitely Stanley Baldwin
0:04:28 > 0:04:30so I'm going for Stanley Baldwin.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Nicely done, you're quite right. Stanley Baldwin it was.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Dave,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37in which year did Henry Campbell-Bannerman
0:04:37 > 0:04:38become British Prime Minister?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Whoa, I'm on a brain freeze here. Having a bad moment.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, Salisbury is in 1901, so we'll rule that out.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I had 1908 in my head for some reason.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And then Asquith took over.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Asquith was definitely there throughout World War I.
0:05:03 > 0:05:071905 is looking more and more likely
0:05:07 > 0:05:10because of Asquith's longevity.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And it's something I would normally know very well.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But I'm going to have to go...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18..1905.
0:05:18 > 0:05:201905.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, let's just see. Do you know, Paul?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I think I would have gone for 1905 as well.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- Eggheads?- 1905.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- 1905 is the right answer. You got there.- Tricky.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- So, you need to get this right, Paul.- OK.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36In 1973, Luis Carrero Blanco was assassinated
0:05:36 > 0:05:39while serving as President of which country?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Well, it certainly sounds like a Spanish name, but they are all
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Spanish-speaking, so that doesn't really help.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm going to rule out Spain because I think I would have been
0:05:54 > 0:05:56aware of it if it had been Spain.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I think around about that time,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07there may have been more political upheaval in Nicaragua,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09so I'm going to go for Nicaragua.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Let's see. Dave, do you know?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I thought it was Spain.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Spain is the answer.- OK.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Hard questions, Paul. Sorry, you've been knocked out there
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- by Tremendous Knowledge Dave.- OK. - You won't be in the final, he will.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28OK, so Wind Plus have had a little bit of wind
0:06:28 > 0:06:30taken out of their sails with that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32They've lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The Eggheads are all still there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The next subject is Music. Oh!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And off they go. Who wants this?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- I think it's me.- It is Judith. - Judith?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- It's me, yes.- The team captain, against which Egghead?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Any one of them, obviously not Dave.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- I'll consult the strategy master, Paul.- I'd go for Barry.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Barry? Right, Paul the strategy master says Barry.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes, that's fine, Barry has his moments.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Judith from Wind Plus versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02please go to our Question Room.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well, I'm worried now, Judith,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08that we're going to ask you some really lo-fi question
0:07:08 > 0:07:12about rap or the Sugababes and you're going to think ill of us.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15That's what I'm worried about. Rappers!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Your instrument is the oboe, did you say?- Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- OK, and you teach it as well?- Yes, I do and I teach clarinet as well.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And favourite period of music? What sort of music do you like?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Oh, that's a difficult one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I think 20th-century, Shostakovich, that type of thing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33OK, well, Barry's knowledge is intense in some areas
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and invisible in others.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Sounds like mine! - He won't mind me saying.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- So, Music, Judith. Do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And this is the question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49The disco group Village People took its name from an area of which city?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Pretty sure that's part of New York.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57And which part, do you think?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I think it's Greenwich Village. - I think it must be, yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03New York is right. What a band! What a band.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I'm glad we kept it highbrow early on for Judith.- Sorry.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You just tell us you like Shostakovich and we hit you
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- with a question about the Village People.- Never mind!
0:08:12 > 0:08:13OK, Barry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16In the summer of 2015, which singer-songwriter launched
0:08:16 > 0:08:20a new record label called Gingerbread Man Records?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Summer of 2015?- Yes.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I don't know this for sure,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32but I have a sneaking suspicion that was Ed Sheeran.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So, that's my answer.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah, the ginger hair is a clue.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Gingerbread Man records was launched by Ed Sheeran.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You're right, one each. Back to you, Judith.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46The musical Close To You, which made its London debut in 2015,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49features the music of which American singer-songwriter?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Ah, there are so many American...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Don't think I've read about this.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05There has been one about Neil Diamond,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08but I don't know if it was that one.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Because something just made me think Neil Diamond,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I'll say Neil Diamond.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, it's a famous song, isn't it, by the Carpenters?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And the writer is the one who wrote it for them.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- It's Burt Bacharach.- Oh, right.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23All right, your question, Barry, to take the lead.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27The Arctic Monkeys song I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
0:09:27 > 0:09:30contains a reference to characters from which Shakespeare play?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32That's a highbrow question!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I, I'm trying to picture Othello or Shylock on a dance floor.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I think I must go for Romeo and Juliet there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Can you help us, Lisa?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52What's the reference? I'm trying to remember.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's in the bridge, it's about no Montagues or Capulets.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- The best I can do.- Oh, yeah!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59IMPERSONATES: "No Montagues or Capulets."
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Thank you, Jeremy, yes. - In that voice.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Didn't know they were from Manchester. They're from Sheffield!
0:10:05 > 0:10:06So, he's got that right, Judith.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Uh-oh!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm really hoping for the opera question for you now.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You need this to stay in.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Who had top five albums in the UK in the 1960s called
0:10:16 > 0:10:21The Twang's The Thang and A Million Dollar's Worth Of Twang?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, I definitely don't know it, so I'm going to have to guess again.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I remember hearing Duane Eddy when I was a girl, but...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34..that doesn't help!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I think I'll say Eddie Cochran.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Let's check with your team-mates. Is she right?- It's Duane Eddy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- It's Duane Eddy, had a kind of twanging...- Oh!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- He played the guitar in a certain way.- Oh, right.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So, I'm sorry, Judith.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49But you were not beaten
0:10:49 > 0:10:51on Shostakovich. That's for sure.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Barry is in the final round - well done, Barry.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play the next round.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03As it stands, Wind Plus have lost two brains from the final round,
0:11:03 > 0:11:04blown away.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07The Eggheads have not lost any so far, so whatever instruments
0:11:07 > 0:11:11you have, direct them at these five and just start puffing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The next subject is Film & TV.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Who would like this?- I knew...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I knew it!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Yes, I'm at the sacrificial lamb on that one.- Sacrificial!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Jean?- Yes, it's me.- OK, Jean.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Retired legal consultant and musician playing what instrument?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- The bassoon is my instrument. - Bring your bassoon.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- And the violin.- OK, well, bring them both.- That's your strategy.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Who do you want?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Any of the three in the middle.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Judith, please.- OK.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40So, Jean from Wind Plus, brings Judith...
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- We still don't have a proper name for you, Judith.- No, I'm enigmatic.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Enigmatic, from the Eggheads.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Please go to the special room now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Jean, good luck. Would you like to go first or second on Film & TV?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55First, please.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Here is your question.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03What was the name of the department store in the sitcom
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Are You Being Served?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Well, I'm very sad in admitting this, but I did used to watch it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It was Grace Brothers.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So did I and you're quite right. Grace Brothers is right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Although of course, Peacock and Slocombe were characters in it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21So, could have misled you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23OK, Judith.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Which of the main characters from the TV comedy Fawlty Towers
0:12:27 > 0:12:28comes from Barcelona?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well, it's not Polly from Barcelona, or Sybil from Barcelona.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's a Manuel from Barcelona.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37It is.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39"I no understand."
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Manuel is right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43OK, Jean.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Who directed the 2015 film The Hateful Eight?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I don't know the answer.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'll have to think about it.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I'm initially drawn to Quentin Tarantino, but I wouldn't know why.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06The Hateful Eight doesn't sound like a Steven Spielberg film.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And I don't know anything about George Lucas,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12so I'm going to say Quentin Tarantino.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yes, Quentin Tarantino is quite right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's got that kind of slightly violent title.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19OK, Judith.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23In which futuristic 1981 film and its 1996 sequel
0:13:23 > 0:13:27does Kurt Russell play a character called Snake Plissken?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I have absolutely no idea.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Erm, I'm going to say Escape From New York.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You're quite right, Judith. Well done. Good stuff.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So, here we are, two each.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Jean, over to you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50For what do the letters JJ stand in the name
0:13:50 > 0:13:54of the American film director, producer and writer JJ Abrams?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Another one I don't know.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm going to have to guess, I haven't got a clue.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I don't think Jeffrey Jacob sounds very American.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'll go for John Joel.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15No, it's Jeffrey Jacob.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18OK, you can get into the final with this answer, Judith,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20or we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22What was the first name of the detective Ironside,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25played by Raymond Burr in the 1960s and '70s?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Ah, I can see him.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I don't...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Don't think anybody ever called him by his first name, though, did they?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Andrew Ironside, George Ironside, Robert Ironside.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I think Robert Ironside goes best of all. I'm going to say Robert.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Do you like that, Eggs?- Yes. - Yes, you're right.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Judith, well done, three out of three.- That was lucky.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53On Film & TV.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Definitely getting back into form,
0:14:54 > 0:14:55these Eggheads.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Sorry, Jean. You've been knocked out as well.- Can't be helped.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Come back to us, both of you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We'll play our last round before the final.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, Wind Plus have lost three now from the final round and here,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10the Eggheads are definitely back to their best with no losses.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Who would like this?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15That would be you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Who was going to take those? Carolyn.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Who wants to do General Knowledge if you do Arts & Books?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- I think you'd be all right on the books.- What about Carolyn?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- For general.- Yeah, we do need a good one, don't we?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- I would take Lisa rather than Pat. Tough choice.- Say who?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Lisa rather than Pat.- Lisa. - Right, so I'm doing it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- OK, so Caroline is doing it, woodwind teacher.- That's right.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Which Egghead?- Lisa, please.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42OK, so Lisa goes into the booth, fine.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Caroline from Wind Plus, Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Well, not part of the quiz, Lisa, but here's a question.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Do you know what chicha is? - Chicha?- Yes.- In what context?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- I'm not giving you a context. - Well, that's not fair.- It's a drink.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Go on.- Can I tell you? No. - All right...- You tell me.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well, Caroline will tell us, go on.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08OK, so chicha is basically a fermented spit drink
0:16:08 > 0:16:12that I drank in the Ecuadorian jungle several years ago.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Was that... Like, it was a good price on the menu or what?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19No, I was in a village with a local and they passed a bowl of it around
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and we figured it was rude to refuse, so we tried some.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- How did it taste?- Horrible.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27There we are, that's the answer, Lisa.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Well, I'm always glad it's not a geography round,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32but I'm even more glad it's not a geography round now.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- I reckon chicha will come up in our Food & Drink round one day.- Eugh!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38OK, Caroline, Arts & Books. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39First, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And here we go.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47In which work of literature do the characters meet at the
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Tabard Inn in Southwark before setting off on their journey?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think that's The Canterbury Tales.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It is The Canterbury Tales.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Lisa, what colour
0:17:02 > 0:17:06is Roger Hargreaves's first Mr Men character, Mr Tickle?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I do love the highbrow nature of this quiz sometimes, I really do.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Mr Tickle is orange.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well done to you. Outed as a Mr Man fan.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Indeed.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22All right, your question, Caroline.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25What name is often given to a competition in which poets
0:17:25 > 0:17:30recite original works which are then judged in front of a live audience?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, a slam sounds like a tennis competition.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Spiral doesn't really fit.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I'm hoping it's scrawl.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's actually a slam.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, Lisa, your question.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Blackmailers Don't Shoot,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56which appeared in the pulp fiction magazine Black Mask in 1933,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00was the first published detective story by which writer?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I could be here all day and not get this one.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10On the dates, I like Raymond Chandler for that.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I never have been very good with these American authors.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'll try Raymond Chandler.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yes, you're right, it is Raymond Chandler.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Raymond Chandler is correct, Lisa.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23We go back to you, Caroline,
0:18:23 > 0:18:24you need to get this right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Which American author wrote the novels The Hustler
0:18:28 > 0:18:29and The Man Who Fell To Earth,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32both of which were later turned into films?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Now I'm in big trouble. Don't know any of those.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Ira Levin.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Now, he's the only one I would have ruled out on the basis
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- that he did The Stepford Wives, didn't he?- Rosemary's Baby.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Boys From Brazil. - Rosemary's Baby, Boys From Brazil.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Wrote some amazing novels, not these.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57This was Walter Tevis.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And I'm sorry, Caroline, you've been knocked out.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01So, we've lost
0:19:01 > 0:19:03another instrument, Lisa will be in the final.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Let's see what music our Challengers can play with only one player left.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It is time for the final round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:18 > 0:19:20won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24So, Judith, Caroline, Paul and Jean from Wind Plus,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26sorry but would you please leave the studio?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32So, Carolyn, you are playing to win Wind Plus £3,000.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Dave, Lisa, Pat, Judith and Barry,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37you're playing to get the Eggheads back on track
0:19:37 > 0:19:40and to just confirm your sterling reputation.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I was going to say you are allowed to confer,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48but I know they're all away.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52So, Carolyn, the question is can your one brain defeat these five?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- And last time they lost, it was to a single brain.- Oh, right.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- So, good luck, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Here is your first question.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Abel Tasman National Park is located in which country?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16So, that first word is A-B-E-L and the second word is T-A-S-M-A-N
0:20:16 > 0:20:17and both of them are capitalised.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Well, Tasman sounds like it might be something to do with Tasmania.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Which would make me think New Zealand.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31New Zealand is the right answer.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Oh, good.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Eggheads, your question.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38"It is kisstomary to cus the bride"
0:20:38 > 0:20:40is an example of which type of speech?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46It's a spoonerism.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- A spoonerism?- Mm-hm.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We think that's a spoonerism.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Next question is for Carolyn.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55In dry weather,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59what is the maximum speed limit on a French toll motorway?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Well, I'm going to discount 160 because that seems quite fast.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15100 is about 70mph,
0:21:15 > 0:21:20so that would be about the same as here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But I've got a feeling it might be higher.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Hmm, I'm going to go for 130.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'm so glad you did, you're right. - Good.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Good, well done.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Carolyn, two out of two. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39The blind lawyer Matt Murdock who lives in Hell's Kitchen
0:21:39 > 0:21:43in New York is the alter ego of which comic book superhero?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Daredevil.- It's Daredevil?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Yes, we're all happy on that. - Definitely.- Yes?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We think that's Daredevil.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Daredevil is the right answer. How do you know this stuff?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Do you know that?- I didn't know that.- I didn't know that!
0:22:00 > 0:22:01What are they doing all day long?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04OK, your third question. Get this right
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and you never know.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Which of these monarchs ruled England
0:22:08 > 0:22:10for the longest period of time?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Well, Edward II was the one that was murdered, I think.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25And Richard II was the one who came to the throne as a very young boy,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28but I don't remember him having a particularly long reign.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I can't quite decide between Henry II
0:22:34 > 0:22:36and if I'm getting my Edwards mixed up.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I think I'm going to go for Henry II.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Let me check with the eggs. Eggs?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- I think that's right. - You want the longest reign?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- The longest reign.- Henry II, I think.- I think it's Henry II.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Dates for us, any sense?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- 1154 to 1189 or something like that? - Yes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58So, he did 35. Richard did 22.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Edward 20.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- So you're absolutely right, Carolyn. Three out of three.- Thank you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And they're going crazy in the background there!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08All right, you've done everything that could be expected of you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12You've not come a cropper and now you may win £3,000.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13If they get this wrong.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Eggheads, the Frenchwoman Mireille Ballestrazzi
0:23:17 > 0:23:20was elected as the first female president
0:23:20 > 0:23:23of which international organisation in 2012?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Well, not NATO. - It can't be NATO, surely?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I don't think it'd be Interpol.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Got a bell ringing that UNICEF has a female head.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Would you elect a president of UNICEF?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40At least in the UN, there is sort of a voting mechanism.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41From component countries.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I've not heard of her connected with NATO.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47And the other thing to say with NATO is the secretary-general,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I've not heard of a president of NATO.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Have you heard of a president of NATO in terms of any?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57We do have a president of Interpol, that's the other thing.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Well, you could have...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Think, the head of Interpol is called what?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It's just our international police body.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- They don't use international police ranks.- Based in Lyon, I think.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It was started in Vienna, but it's in Lyon now.- A French woman.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- It would be convenient, wouldn't it? - Well...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I think it could be either Interpol or UNICEF.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Yeah, but president of...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I'm starting, on the wording, to look towards Interpol.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22You would have...
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Several nations electing somebody. - Electing somebody?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Putting somebody forward too.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Would UNICEF be appointed or elected?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, it would be somebody who have probably worked in the body before.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I wouldn't have thought somebody just comes from outside
0:24:37 > 0:24:41and then just becomes UNICEF, but again, you know, with Interpol,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44it's somebody who's got... She may have experience of...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'm coming round to your argument here.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Because I just think it's just the way the question's worded.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50It's a nasty one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Well, I'm going to go for Interpol but with no conviction at all.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I'm going to go for Interpol as well. You've convinced me.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'm afraid I'd still be UNICEF.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I think I'd be UNICEF.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Without any great reason.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- So, I'm the casting vote. - You're the casting vote.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Interpol.- OK, well?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15We have three for Interpol, two for UNICEF.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17OK, we've had a vote.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20We don't know what we're doing and we're saying Interpol.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah, UNICEF is Anthony Lake so you got it absolutely right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It is Interpol, well done.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Vindication of the Eggheads democracy.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Yeah, democracy in action there. Dave banging away!
0:25:35 > 0:25:39And it does show this thing of Dave's, looking at every word
0:25:39 > 0:25:41in the question does pay dividends sometimes.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So sorry, you were very, very close
0:25:43 > 0:25:44to the jackpot then.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47They've just stopped you. We go to Sudden Death, Carolyn.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53What does the E stand for in the name of the
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Oxford University degree course known as PPE?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I think that is Economics.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It is, Philosophy, Politics, Economics. Well done.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Sudden Death, Eggheads.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06In the lyrics of the song made popular by Frank Sinatra,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09which city is "My kind of town"?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- Chicago.- "Chicago is."
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- "My kind of town, Chicago is." - Chicago.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Everybody's happy with Chicago?- Yes.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17We're going for Chicago.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Chicago is right, well done.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21OK, Carolyn.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25What term, taken from the Latin for five-twelfths, refers to
0:26:25 > 0:26:28a group of five objects arranged in a rectangle
0:26:28 > 0:26:31with one at each corner and the fifth in the centre?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I've never even heard of that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Five-twelfths, well, the five would be...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39..something like quin.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42And the twelfths...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47So, that's like five on a dice, isn't it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49One in each corner and one in the centre.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I don't think I've ever heard this term.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Quin...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Not even sure what I can make up.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Quin... Five-twelfths.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06What would 12 be?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Trying to think if I can think of any word that comes to mind.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- A quintagon, I don't know. - Quintagon?- I've made that up.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Eggheads?- Is it quincunx?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Quincunx is the word, yes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Well done, Eggs.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23So, a chance for them now, Carolyn.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Which Japanese word, meaning improvement,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30is used for a philosophy of continuous improvement
0:27:30 > 0:27:34in working practices and just in time of business techniques?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Kaizen?- I've always wanted to have it as a tattoo.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Kaizen.- Kaizen?- I'm happy with that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I think that's what it is, OK.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44We think that's kaizen.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47If you have got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50The answer is kaizen. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51You have won.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Did you know that last one, by the way?- No, I didn't.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Because those last two questions, obscure words,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04quizzers delight, I guess.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I'm going to have to get a tattoo now, aren't I?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's just a very useful quizzing thing, obviously,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- continuous improvement. - Yes, kaizen or quincunx.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Barry's probably already got a tattoo with that on it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Carolyn, I'm sorry, commiserations to Wind Plus.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Great team but the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:19 > 0:28:21and reigned supreme over quizland.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It does mean that you won't be going home with the £3,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Eggheads, well done, you took on the musicians
0:28:28 > 0:28:32and you won and I'm wondering when you will next be beaten.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:34 > 0:28:37have the brains to do the job.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39£4,000 says they don't.
