0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33And how are we today?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Getting up to speed. - Getting up to speed, yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, we'll find out about your recent record in a second.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41BARRY CHUCKLES Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Now, this team are all members
0:00:44 > 0:00:46of a female singing group and captain, Andrew,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48is their musical director.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm a director of music.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Jackie and I'm a retired nurse.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Teresa and I'm a retired primary school teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Sue and I'm a retired home economist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Genevieve, I'm a company secretary.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, Andrew and team, welcome, great to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Tell us about the choir, Andrew?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Er, yes, we are a ladies' choir, I'm the only man in the choir
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and I run it and we meet in seven locations throughout
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21This is a selection of members from those different venues.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We meet just for fun, we don't audition,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and we perform as and when people are required to or if they want to.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30But it's very much a choir for the woman of today.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32So she comes in and can do as much or as little as she likes,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34around her work and home life.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37OK, right, so would we like to hear the choir?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Certainly.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Can you do something for us?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I think we could.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43ANDREW HUMS
0:01:43 > 0:01:44One, two, three, four.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47# Going to the chapel and we're
0:01:47 > 0:01:50# Going to the chapel and we're
0:01:50 > 0:01:52# Going to the chapel and we're
0:01:52 > 0:01:56# Gonna get married
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# Going to the chapel and we're
0:01:59 > 0:02:01# Gonna get married
0:02:01 > 0:02:04# Oooooh... #
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Beautiful, thank you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10There's got to be an Eggheads version of going to the pub
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and we're going to start quizzing, or something. ALL LAUGH
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Going to get quizzed. - Going to the library.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Going to the library and we're going to get quizzed.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20OK, and do any of you quiz, I should ask?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Occasionally... - Yes.- Pub quizzes and suchlike
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- but, um...- But not together.- Not as a team.- Never together. All right.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, it's great that this is a first and I really wish you all the best here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:31 > 0:02:33for our Challengers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So, A Handful Of Harmonies, the Eggheads,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42well, they had a bit of a sticky period but they seemed to
0:02:42 > 0:02:45have stabilised now. Got through the last game just about and
0:02:45 > 0:02:49they've won the last three, so that means there's £4,000 to win today.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Ooh.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51All right, shall we go for it?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Let's go for it.- Yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I'm desperate for Music to come up, but the first head-to-head
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- is on the subject of History.- Oh!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Who's our historian?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- History?- Not guilty. - No.- Jackie?- Yeah, if you like.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- OK, Jackie.- Jackie, retired nurse, against which Egghead?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Any one you like.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15- I'll say Barry, because I quoted him as my favourite Egghead.- Oh...
0:03:15 > 0:03:18He's a favourite of many of us, actually. Yeah, Barry.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And he's famously been to every answer in the Geography round
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and possibly experienced every answer in the History round.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I don't know!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Jackie, from A Handful Of Harmonies versus our own Barry,
0:03:28 > 0:03:29know as The Brain.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37So, History, Jackie, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And here is your question.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Winston Churchill's mother was born in which country?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I have to say, I've never come across this one before.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55I'm inclined...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm trying to think what I know about Winston Churchill
0:04:00 > 0:04:01and his family.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm afraid I'm just going to have a bit of a guess at it
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and I'm going to say Japan.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, Barry is out go-to person for all things Japan.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Is this a fact, Barry?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It would be a wonderful fact if it was true,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13but sadly it was the USA.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The USA is the right answer there, Jackie.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Over to Barry.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Barry, the baby boom generation is the name given to those born
0:04:21 > 0:04:23immediately after which conflict?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, I am a baby-boomer and I'm proud to be one.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I can state with some degree of certainty
0:04:33 > 0:04:36that we were babies born immediately after World War II.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39World War II is the right answer, well done.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41OK, Jackie, what was the name
0:04:41 > 0:04:46of the Greenpeace ship sunk by French agents in Auckland in 1985?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Having been a supporter of Greenpeace since I was a teenager,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I think I'm fairly confident to say it was the Rainbow Warrior.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Rainbow Warrior is right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Well done. First point to our Challengers. Barry, back to you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07What was the name of the Scottish king who was the father of
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Mary Queen Of Scots?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yes, well it wasn't Robert or Donald.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I'm just trying to recall which of the James' it was.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21I believe it was James V, so I'll go for James.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24James is quite right and you help me with my history the whole time.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Is she the one who was executed by Elizabeth?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29She was, at Fotheringhay Castle.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Because, what, Elizabeth saw her as a rival?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Yes, well, she... Elizabeth didn't really want to execute her
0:05:36 > 0:05:39because she thought that would set a bad precedent.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42But she got involved in some scandals where she was trying
0:05:42 > 0:05:45to get Elizabeth executed and she was found out.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47So, unfortunately, she had to go.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50OK. Jackie, he's pulled ahead slightly.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52You need to get this one right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Who was assassinated on the 13th July 1793
0:05:56 > 0:06:00in the bath by Charlotte Corday?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I have heard of Charlotte Corday and I'm trying to think
0:06:08 > 0:06:10of the connection.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm inclined to go for Jean-Paul Marat.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Very good, Jean-Paul Marat it is.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Yeah, well done.- Well done.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Barry, this for the round.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Indira Gandhi's first term of office as Prime Minister of India
0:06:23 > 0:06:25came in which decade?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Indira Gandhi...
0:06:29 > 0:06:30That's a good one.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33She was assassinated, I believe, in 1984.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And I'm just trying to remember if that was in her first term of
0:06:36 > 0:06:38office, or her second term.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I'm struggling a bit with this.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It certainly wasn't the '60s.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I think that might have been her second term of office,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47so on that basis, I'm going for the 1970s.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49OK, '70s is your answer. Eggheads, do you know?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- '60s. '66, she came to power. - '66 she came to power, Barry.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55- Mm-hm.- So you're wrong.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Gosh, as early as that?- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You're properly wrong.
0:06:59 > 0:07:001960s is the answer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02A slight let-off there, Jackie.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Yes.- But we'll take whatever comes our way. Eh?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08So we're on History, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It gets a tiny bit harder because I don't give you different options.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17The Polaris missile, which first came into service in the 1960s,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20was designed to be fired from what vehicle?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Um...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26From an aircraft carrier?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- No, submarine.- A submarine.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Underwater, comes out the sea.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Barry, this for the round on History.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Wladyslaw Anders was a commanding officer of which country's
0:07:37 > 0:07:41forces in the Middle East and Italy during World War II?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Wladyslaw Anders.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I can spell it if you want. - Yes, please.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51W-L-A-D-Y-S-L-A-W and then Anders.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52I've not heard of him.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh...
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't know, but Wladyslaw sounds so Polish to me.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm going to take a guess at Poland.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Poland is your answer.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Yeah, the first and the last W remind one of Warsaw, I suppose.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Kevin, do you know this?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Yeah, it is. He was the commander of the Polish forces in exile,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14the ones who managed to get away when Poland was overrun by
0:08:14 > 0:08:17the Germans, and they fought in various theatres throughout
0:08:17 > 0:08:21the Second World War, including North Africa and Italy.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Anders was the man who was in charge on the military side.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28So it's the ones who got away when Poland fell,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30you're absolutely right, Barry.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Poland it is. Sorry, Jackie, beaten on History, but early days.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35And plenty of time still for your team.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Come back to us, please, and rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43OK, A Handful Of Harmonies have lost a brain from the Final Round,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46the Eggheads are all still sitting there, all five of them,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and the next subject is Music.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- How about that? It came up. - Hurray!- Is that good?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- It's got to be me, hasn't it?- OK.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I've got to take it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57The director of music himself, against which Egghead?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Anyone but Barry.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00I'm going to go for Steve.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05OK. So it's going to be Andrew, who runs A Handful Of Harmonies,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09against Steve from the Eggheads on Music.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And please go to our famous Question Room.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15So you are a big music fan, Andrew, you must be?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Indeed I am, yes. All the work that I do is music related. So, yes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's your profession as well as your hobby, it's everything?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24It is, yes. It's become so.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It was always a hobby that crept into my work,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30but gradually the balance has taken over and everything I do now
0:09:30 > 0:09:33is music or theatre related. So, yes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So I'm guessing choral, yes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Musicals, yes.- Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Opera, maybe. - Not so much on the opera.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42And then where are we on Depeche Mode and The Stranglers?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yeah, a good mix.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- OK, fine.- A bit of an '80s kid, so let's see.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Well, that could be impressive. Good luck, Steve.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Good luck, Andrew. Andrew, first or second?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I may live to regret this, but I'm going to go second.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01So the Music round starts with you, Steve.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04With which song did Katrina And The Waves win the
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Eurovision Song Contest in 1997?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yeah, you can safely say they're all crimes against vinyl,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18but the one that Katrina And The Waves perpetrated was
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Love Shine A Light.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That's good, you're right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's not easy, either. Love Shine A Light.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26OK, Andrew.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30What name is given to the sharp sound produced by simultaneously
0:10:30 > 0:10:34hitting the edge and the head of a drum with a drumstick?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39That would be a rimshot.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41That is indeed a rimshot.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Oh, wow! Yay!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Steve, which Beatles song
0:10:45 > 0:10:48was the best-selling track of the 1960s in the UK?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Mmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I think it was She Loves... I mean, Blackbird wasn't a single anyway,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58it's off the White album.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Hey Jude I think were probably the longest single,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03but She Loves You, Beatlemania, the height of,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05so that's me answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07She Loves You is correct and that begins with a great,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- big drumroll, doesn't it? - It does.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Brr-rhm, brr-rhm, brr-rhm - like that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Your second question, Andrew.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Which group's 1979 single, Rappers Delight, is credited as being
0:11:18 > 0:11:22one of the first to bring hip-hop to a wider audience?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29This is trickier, I was only four.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Can you repeat the question for me?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Which group's 1979 single, Rappers Delight,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38is credited as being one of the first to bring hip-hop to
0:11:38 > 0:11:40a wider audience?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm tossing up between Public Enemy and the Sugarhill Gang.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I've never heard of the Sugarhill Gang.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Um...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51In my mind, I'm not sure that Public Enemy aren't later.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I'm going to go with the Sugarhill Gang.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Steve, is he right?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- He is right.- Yeah, Sugarhill Gang it is. That's good.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Phew!- OK, Steve, third question.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04For three out of three.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08You To Me Are Everything was a 1976 UK number one single
0:12:08 > 0:12:09for which group?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I won't torment you by singing it because the team opposite me
0:12:15 > 0:12:19do it far better than I do, but it's the Real Thing.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Real Thing is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24A great song. OK, Andrew,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- to stay in.- No pressure.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28No pressure.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Captain on the line here.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36Veteran rocker Neil Young's 2016 album Earth comprises
0:12:36 > 0:12:39a series of songs interspersed with what?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Oh, this is going to be a complete guess.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52And I'm cross about that because I knew Steve's question.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'm going to take out TV commercials,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58cos I'm thinking Earth and TV doesn't always go.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03When you said the question, for some reason, I thought poetry.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So I'm sort of leaning towards ritual chanting.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07But then with Earth,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm drawn to animals. This is a complete guess.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Um, I'm going to go with animal noises.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Yes, you're right, animal noises it is, well done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Well done.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Sometimes a clue in the question can lead you astray, as well.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- So, well played.- Thank you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Three out of three to you both, the score's level.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29This is tight, the music director versus one of the newest Eggheads.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Sudden Death now, I don't give you options, Steve.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is often performed in the
0:13:35 > 0:13:38weeks around which public holiday?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I think it's well known as a Christmassy sort of thing,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42so, Christmas, Jeremy.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Christmas is right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Andrew, Sudden Death.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Which pop star played the part of Jim MacLaine in the 1970s films
0:13:51 > 0:13:54That'll Be The Day and Stardust?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I don't know why this name has just come into my head,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00whether I've read something somewhere, but I'm going to say Roy Orbison.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01OK, we're on Sudden Death here.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03If you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05If you've got it wrong, the round is over.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Ladies, do we know? ALL:- David Essex.- Oh, they all know!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's David Essex. It's David Essex. So British, obviously.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15ANDREW SIGHS Steve, you're through.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17You're through on Music, against a music director.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- You're very good. - Chips fell nice, Jeremy. - JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Steve, Andrew, please return, rejoin your team-mates.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29OK, so A Handful Of Harmonies, our Challengers, have lost two brains
0:14:29 > 0:14:32from the final round, including the captain!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34On Music of all things!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37The Eggheads have not lost any so far, but they are very good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now's the time to turn it around.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The subject is Geography.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Who would like this?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Yes, it looks like me. - Yeah, that'll be Sue, please.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Sue, against which Egghead?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51It obviously can't be Barry or Steve.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Beth.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54OK, brilliant.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Sue from A Handful Of Harmonies
0:14:56 > 0:14:57to play Beth on Geography.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Good luck to you both.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07So, Geography, Beth. Where in the world would you like to go?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Oh, New Zealand, I think, would be my ideal place to go.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- So you've been to Australia? - No, never been to Australia.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The furthest I've been is San Francisco.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I went there to visit my father, who was working on a merchant boat
0:15:19 > 0:15:22at the time. We sailed back
0:15:22 > 0:15:25through the Panama Canal, across the Atlantic,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- back to England. - Sue, what about your travels?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- I have been to New Zealand and Australia.- And should Beth go?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Oh, gosh, yes, without a doubt. Amazing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36If you had to choose between New Zealand and Australia,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- which would you pick? - New Zealand, definitely.- OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Sue, would you like to go first or second?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I'll go first, please, if I may.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK, good luck, Sue, here we go.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Which of these countries lies
0:15:49 > 0:15:52on the constantly active geologic border
0:15:52 > 0:15:55between North America and mainland Europe?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I'm going to go Iceland, please.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Iceland is correct.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Well done, Sue.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11Beth, the Tropic of Capricorn passes through Western Australia,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Northern Territory and which other Australian state?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well, South Australia sounds like it's in the south
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and Tasmania is the island underneath the south,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24so it's got to be Queensland.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Queensland is quite right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well done, Beth. Sue, over to you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Which town sits directly to the north
0:16:31 > 0:16:33across the River Mersey from Runcorn?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It's not Wolverhampton.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's not Warrington, its Widnes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yeah, brilliant. It is Widnes. Beth, back to you.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Dar es Salaam is a city in which African country?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Well, it's certainly not South Africa.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Dar es Salaam sounds like a rather Islamic name,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00but I'm pretty sure it's not Morocco either.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01So I'm going with Tanzania.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yes, Tanzania is quite right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Two out of two. And Sue, back to you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Due to its approximate shape,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11what name do the French sometimes use to refer to their country?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'd say it's Le Pentagon.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Le Pentagon.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Any eggheads know here?- Hexagon. - France is hexagonal.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Hexagonal, I'm afraid, Hexagon.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, Beth, your chance to take the round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34On which a Mediterranean island are the Troodos Mountains located?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Troodos is T-R-O-O-D-O-S.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's not somewhere I've been. Troodos.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50None of those islands sound particularly mountainous.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I can't eliminate anything, cos I'm just...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55This is going to be... a blind guess.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59And I bet Barry's been.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06I'm going to go with...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Cyprus.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Cyprus. Let's see if Barry likes that. Barry?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I like that very much indeed.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14It's the right answer.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16So you have been there, Barry, yeah?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- I have.- The Troodos Mountains are indeed in Cyprus.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well done, Beth, you won the round there.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Sorry, Sue, you've been knocked out by our new Egghead.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25As a result... Well, there's a bit of history, though.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You know, she's playing well.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29You won't to be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32So please come back and we will see what happens next.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The highest peak on the Troodos mountain range is...?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Mount Olympus. - Mount Olympus, Barry, that's right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- But what's the crucial rider here? - It's not the Mount Olympus
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- that's the highest mountain in Greece.- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So they were running out of names or something?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Well, for high places, it was the home of the gods in Greece,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54so the highest point of the island seemed an obvious choice, I think.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Very good. And you've been... Have you been to either Mount Olympus?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I've been to the one in Cyprus.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Oh, right, you've been to this one? - Yes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- The one we're talking about? - Yes, indeed.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You're amazing, Barry. Been to every answer, they say.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08And it keeps being proved correct.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12A Handful Of Harmonies have now lost three brains from the final round.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16If it was a choir session and this happened, what would you do?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- We'd crack on. And we'd hope for the best.- Or maybe tune up again?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet, but, you know,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27they lost recently with only one player in the final.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And that was really recent, wasn't it, Eggs?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Still smarting from it. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Who would like this?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Do you want me to go? It's up to you.- Shall I go?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Genevieve will take this one, please.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Genevieve, against which Egghead?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Just Judith or Kevin on the right here.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Kevin.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Genevieve from A Handful Of Harmonies
0:19:47 > 0:19:50versus Kevin from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52And please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So, Arts & Books, Genevieve. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'll go first.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Here is your first question.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05In the Harry Potter books,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09from which platform at King's Cross do trains for Hogwarts depart?
0:20:15 > 0:20:179 3/4.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- 9 3/4 is quite right.- Well done.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24OK, Kevin, Marcel Proust's
0:20:24 > 0:20:26A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29one of the longest novels of all time,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33is commonly known in English as In Search Of...what?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Yes, it's translated in various ways,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42but one of the English translations
0:20:42 > 0:20:44is In Search Of Lost Time.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Lost Time.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yes, Lost Time is quite right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Genevieve. The name of
0:20:49 > 0:20:53which of these literary characters translates as "fox"?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Wild guess, D'Artagnan.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01That is a tiny bit wild.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'm not sure how we get to Zorro from fox,
0:21:04 > 0:21:05but the answer is Zorro.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Kevin, help us with the language here.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Spanish.- Spanish for fox?- Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Kevin. Which character
0:21:12 > 0:21:16in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night exits at one point with the line,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18"I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you"?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It's the steward, Malvolio,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27who's just been the victim of a...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30rather cruel trick, played by
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Toby Belch and Andrew Aguecheek
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and various others, which has wound up with him being incarcerated.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It all goes a bit too far, really.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41And he's not happy, understandably.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42So it's Malvolio.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Malvolio is right.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48OK, back to you, Genevieve. You need to get this question right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53O Pioneers!, set in Nebraska at the turn of the 20th century,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55is a novel by which writer?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I've no idea.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Oh, middle f'diddle - Lucy Maud Montgomery.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Eggies?- Willa Cather.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It is Willa Cather, I'm afraid.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So, Kevin's won, Genevieve, sorry.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17But it's just a round, it's not the whole battle, it's not the war.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Kevin will be in the final. If you come back to us, both of you,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22we will play the all-important final round.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It is time for our final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:32 > 0:22:34won't being allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38So, that is Andrew and Jackie and Sue and Genevieve,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40all from this side, from A Handful Of Harmonies.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK, Teresa, I'm sorry it ended up like this.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I know this was not the strategy.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- No, definitely not. - The musical direction.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54But you're still playing to win A Handful Of Harmonies £4,000.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Beth, Steve, Barry, Judith and Kevin,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:59 > 0:23:00the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03And to turn this stroll into a roll.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You are allowed to confer. I'm sorry, that doesn't help you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Teresa, the question is,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I'm sure you can do it. Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Good luck.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25And here is your first question.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Which 19th-century novel starts with the line,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31"Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty
0:23:31 > 0:23:36"which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress"?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I don't think it's Anna Karenina.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And I can't decide between the other two.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I think it...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49might be Middlemarch.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Eggheads, is she right?- Yes.- Yes.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Yes, you're right, well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Obviously, Miss Brooke is a character in Middlemarch.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56OK, your question.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Eggheads, San Remo is a city
0:23:58 > 0:24:01on the Mediterranean coast of which country?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- San Remo? It's Italy.- Italy.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Italy?- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's Italy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Italy is correct.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Back to you, Genevieve.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22Which actor was billed in one of his early films as Duke Morrison?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Well, just for the fact that you said Duke,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I'm going to go for John Wayne.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- John Wayne. Because?- You said Duke.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- And what's your connection? - And that's his nickname.- Right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Judith, can you rule out Gregory Peck, with whom you once had dinner?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Yes, I think she's absolutely right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47You are right, well done, it is John Wayne.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Two out of two. Eggheads,
0:24:49 > 0:24:54in which century did the Austrian psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach
0:24:54 > 0:24:57first develop his now famous inkblot test?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- 20th.- 20th. It's got to be 20th.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- 20th?- It's fairly recent, isn't it?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It wasn't as early as the 16th or 18th.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11No, I don't think they had psychiatrists in those days.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Um...united on 20th?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18We're all united on the 20th century.
0:25:18 > 0:25:2120th century is right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Playing quite well.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But get this one right, Teresa,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29and maybe a wheel will fall off on the other side.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Which of these bodies was formed in 1972?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42It's just a guess, I'm afraid.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Um...
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I'm changing my mind.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I was thinking Civil Aviation Authority,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51but then I think about nationalisations,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm going to go for National Coal Board.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58National Coal Board, as in what,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- nationalising the coal mines and all that kind of thing?- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- It's the Civil Aviation Authority. - Which I ruled out.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08OK, Eggheads, your third question. For the round and the contest.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14In 1973, the first worldwide colour telecast occurred
0:26:14 > 0:26:16when a concert in Hawaii by which of the following
0:26:16 > 0:26:19was beamed via satellite around the globe
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and seen by up to 1.5 billion people?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28That's got to be Elvis, surely.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Elvis? '73.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Hawaii. I was thinking Elvis before they came up.- Me too.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37As soon as he said Hawaii, I thought Elvis.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Sinatra is a possibility.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- Certainly. - Especially beamed around the world.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I mean, you'd think it would be bigger than Wings, wouldn't you?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Elvis, he's your man.- I think Elvis.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Being Hawaii would be...- I'm hoping a bell was rung, you know?- Yeah.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- It seems the logical one.- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Elvis?- I don't know for sure, but I'm happy to go with Elvis.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Shall we go with Elvis? - He's left the building.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're going to go with Elvis,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09with the possibility that it might be Frank Sinatra, but not Wings.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So Elvis is our choice.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Yeah, my brother would know this immediately,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19cos he's got tapes and all sorts of this event
0:27:19 > 0:27:22because he's a massive fan of Elvis Presley.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I'm guessing you probably knew that, Teresa, did you?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Well, I would have guessed that. - The Elvis thing. Yeah.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Bad luck. Playing against five is not easy,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41particularly when they're all in sync, as they have been today.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- But thanks for coming.- Thank you very much.- Hope you enjoyed it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- We have, yeah.- Commiserations to our challengers, A Handful Of Harmonies,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49who brought music to us. Which is always welcome.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52The Eggheads have of course ruined the atmosphere
0:27:52 > 0:27:55and done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And here they are, reigning supreme over Quiz Land.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It does mean you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03so we take the money and roll it over to the next show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05And it's quite a bit of a run you're on now, Eggheads.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Who will beat you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:12have the brains to take the money.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15It's going to be £5,000 in our next programme.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Until then, goodbye.
