These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Together, they make up The Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Here they are, The Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
There is no possibly about it. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Oh, well, if you say so. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
-You are amazing. -You should get out more. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
When you're on form. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are The Governors. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Now, this team all met through | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
their involvement as governors at a school in Crewe. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
-Let's meet them. -Hello, I'm Peter. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
I'm a retired railway manager. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Hello, I'm Ben and I am a lecturer. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello, I'm Dennis. I'm a retired postman. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, my name's Damien and I'm a deputy headteacher. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello, my name's Gordon. I'm a retired insurance officer. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-So, Peter and team, welcome. -Thank you. -Good to see you. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
And, of course, we've got a Crewe man over here, haven't we? | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Indeed we have, yeah. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
It won't make you any less ferocious in the quizzing room, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-will it, Chris? -Oh, no. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
No quarter will be given. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
I could be roused to opening one eye, so watch it. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
So, tell us about... first of all how you all know each other. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
We're all current or recent governors of a very good primary school in Crewe. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
OK, and does the school have a quiz? Do you take part in that, or...? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
No, we don't quiz together at all, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
but Dennis organises music quizzes from time to time which are | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
good quality and a very good social. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
OK. Well, good luck. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
for our Challengers. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
However, if they fail to defeat The Eggheads, as you know, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
So, Governors, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
The Eggheads were stopped a few days ago by one team rather dramatically. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
And they've just got back into gear. They won the last game. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
So, there's £2,000 to win today. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-Would you like to try? -Oh, yes. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Brilliant. The first head-to-head battle | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
is on the subject of Arts & Books. So, who would like this? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-Who's Arts & Books? -Shall I do that? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-Gordon? -I'm up for that. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
OK, Gordon. Against which Egghead? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
They're all ready for you. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Let's get Chris out of the game immediately. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Oh, well, that's one Crewe man to another, is it? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
We see how it is now. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
So, Gordon from The Governors versus Chris of Crewe | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
from The Eggheads. And to ensure that there's no conferring, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
OK, so it's Crewe on Crewe here. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Arts & Books, Gordon, would you like to go first or second? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
First, please. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Here is your question. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
Which work by Leonardo da Vinci is also known as Il Cenacolo? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
C-E-N-A-C-O-L-O. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Last Supper. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
Oh, straight there. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
You're sure about that? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-That's my answer. -That's your... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
It's correct. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
-Oh, well done. -Chris, your question. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
"Big Ger" Cafferty is the chief adversary of which literary detective? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
Well, Andy Dalziel is the partner of Pascoe, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
so I don't think it's him. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Inspector Lynley moves in | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
sort of genteel, country house sort of circles. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
So, I don't think it's him. But John Rebus is an Edinburgh detective and | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
the character you named sounds like an Edinburgh thug. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
So, I'll have to say John Rebus. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Yeah, John Rebus it is. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
OK, back to you, Gordon. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
"For alarmingly large chunks of an average day, I am a moron," | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
is a quote from which Nick Hornby book? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
That sounds familiar from when I read Hi Fidelity. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
But, without confidence, I say Hi Fidelity. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Yeah, I know what you mean | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
because they all have that same sort of narrator's voice. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
It's actually Fever Pitch. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
Chris. The Beggar's Opera | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
is thought to be the first dated work | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
of which 18th century painter? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
It's got to be Hogarth. William Hogarth. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Yeah. So, that and The Rake's Progress and all of that, isn't it? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-Marriage A-la-Mode. -Yeah, Marriage A-la-Mode. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
So, you need to get this one, Gordon. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
When Will You Marry? which sold for almost 300 million in 2015 | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
is a painting by which artist? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
(Gauguin.) | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
The answer is Paul Gauguin. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
OK. Again, straight there. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Paul Gauguin is correct. Well done. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
You've got two out of three. Let's see if Chris trips up here. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Here's your question. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Chris, which author wrote the 1963 classic work of nonfiction, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
The Making of the English Working Class? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Not Christopher Hill, not EP Thompson. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
The social historian there is Eric Hobsbawm. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
So, that's my answer. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Do you know this one, Gordon? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
I think it's Hobsbawm. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
No, it's EP Thompson. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
-Oh. -I didn't have to know! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
No, you didn't have to know. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
After three questions each, it's level. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
We go to Sudden Death. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Gets a little bit harder, Gordon. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
I don't give you different options. Here's your question. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
The World's Worst Children, featuring the characters | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
is a 2016 children's book by which author? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
What are the names of the horrible children again? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
I have no idea. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
I can only guess at Roald Dahl. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
-Yeah, but the date was 2016, so he's long dead. -Yeah, OK. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
David Walliams is the answer. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
You have a chance to take the round, Chris, with this question. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
The Romford Pele is the autobiography | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
of which former Arsenal footballer? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Oh, jings. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
Charlie George. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
No, Ray Parlour. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Still in it here, Gordon. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Arts & Books. Your question. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Which American novelist, short story writer and socialist | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
was born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco in 1876? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
Would you repeat the question, please? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Which American novelist, short story writer and socialist | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
was born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco in 1876? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
1876... | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
John Steinbeck comes to mind, but I don't say it with confidence. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
Jack London. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
Chris, your question for the round. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Which pop artist's first use of the silkscreen print method | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
was a series of dollar bills beginning in 1962. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
Well, the silkscreen exponent was Andy Warhol. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Andy Warhol is quite right, you've won on Sudden Death. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Sorry, Gordon. You won't be able to help your team in the final round. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Please come back, rejoin your team-mates and we'll play on. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
OK, The Governors have lost a brain to the governor over here. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
Chris Hughes, known as The Locomotive. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
The Eggheads there sitting pretty, all five of them. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
But it's early days, guys. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
So, you can come back now. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
And it's Science. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
-Who would like this? -I'll take it. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
To you? That's Ben. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
OK, going to be Ben on Science against which Egghead, Ben? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Anyone but Chris. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:52 | |
-Try Judith? -Judith. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Yeah, Judith has had a famous moment on Science. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Oh, yes. There's one I cling to. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
She beat a rocket scientist once. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
It was on a question about wasps, so... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
She'll never get tired of telling that story. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Ben from The Governors versus our own Judith from The Eggheads. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
So, Ben, good luck on Science. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
And, Judith, you were saying you'd like a sort of an Eggheads' style | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-nickname. And we think you should be The Rocket. -Please, no. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
Because of the rocket. It was not a question about wasps, it was a question about hedgerows that... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
-Oh, was it? -That caused the rocket scientist to lose to you on Science. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-I know. -One of the great moments in the history of Eggheads. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
It just shows that there's so much luck in it all. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Oh, come on. Don't be modest. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
So, Ben, you're against The Rocket. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
OK, good luck to you, Ben. Here we go. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
What name is given to a planet outside our solar system | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
that orbits a star other than the Sun? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
Ex means outside of, so I'd go for exoplanet. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
Yes, well done, Ben. Good stuff. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Exoplanet is right. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Judith, approximately what percentage of the night | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
is spent in REM sleep in an average adult? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
Oh, that's interesting. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
I would think probably either 25 or 50%. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
I should think 50%. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-I don't know. 50%. -50%. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-Yes. -In an average adult. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-Yes. -Do you know this one, Ben? -I think it's less than that, actually. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
25, I'd go for. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
25. Yeah, you'd be right, actually. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
Judith, it is less than you think. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
-Oh, really? -You're already ahead, Ben. Here's your second question. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
What is the term commonly used | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
to describe a form of malicious software | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
that locks a user's PC until a fee is paid? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
Well, they're holding you to ransom, so that would be the obvious thing. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
But I don't know. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
It depends who's named it. If it's the people who are doing it, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
they'd call it releaseware, because it's... | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
I'd go for releaseware. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Let's just check with your team here. Is it releaseware, guys? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-Well, that's what I'd go for. -I thought ransomware. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
Same here, ransomware. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
-No, it's ransomware, Ben. -Oh, I was right. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Here's your second question. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
Judith, what is the symbol for | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
the artificially created element technetium? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
I think it might be... Oh, dear. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-Tc. -Tc. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Well, here I have to go to Barry. He will know. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-I think it's Tn. -Tn? OK. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
I thought that Tn was further back. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
Barry, you know the periodic table back to front. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
How can you have slipped up on this? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
-Have I got it wrong? -You got it wrong and Judith is right. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Tc, Judith. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
Oh, has Barry got it wrong? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
-Yes. -Oh! That's made my day. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-That's why we call you The Rocket. -I'm The Rocket! | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
OK, Ben. Your third question. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
The cascabel is an alternative name for which creature | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
found in South America? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-Cascabel... -Cascabel. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
A casque is French for a helmet, a steel helmet. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:33 | |
I would guess armadillo. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
But that is a guess. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Rattlesnake is the answer. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-Blimey. -So, Judith, you have a chance to take the round | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
with this question. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
To which group of islands, Judith, is the rare, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
wild goose called the nene native? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
It's just spelt N-E-N-E, but it is pronounced "neh-neh". | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
I always associate geese with cold places, | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
so I'm not sure that they would live in Hawaii. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
But on the other hand, nene sounds rather like a Hawaiian word. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
I think I'm going to risk Hawaii. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Goodness me. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Let's be really brave. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
-You're really having a really edgy day to day. -Yes. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-Hawaii's right. -Is it? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
-Yes. -Because of the nene. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-It's the nene that's done it. -Yeah. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
The nenes have it. SHE CHUCKLES | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Sorry, Ben. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
You've been beaten on Science, but she's very good on Science. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
It's her new field, I think. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Well, it has been for a long time. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Come back to us. Rejoin your teams and we'll see what happens next. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
So, the goose we were talking about in Hawaii is called the nene | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
because that's the sound it makes. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-Oh, I see. -It's one of those really simple things. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-That's its... What's called its soft call. Nene. -Nene! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-Go on. -Nene! -Yes! | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
That's it. That's the very call. If only there were bonus points! | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
The talents on this team! | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Oh, dear. Anyway, the fun we have. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
But The Governors are right here and they're intending to win, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
are you not? So, don't let us put you off. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
The Governors have lost two brains, but they are not out of this at all. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Not by any manner of means. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
And the next subject for you is Music. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
I think it's... Is it you, Dennis? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-Here's your moment, Dennis. -Oh, it's Dennis! | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
OK, is there any particular Egghead you'd like? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
I know after Judith's goose call, you might want her, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
but she can't be chosen. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
Have a go at Kevin. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
-Yeah? -Decapitation. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-Yeah? -Yeah. -OK. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
As much as I don't want to do this, Kevin. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
Right. I can see what you're doing. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
Hurling yourself at the grandmaster, and that can work. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
Dennis from The Governors versus Kevin from The Eggheads. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
The subject, Music. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
Dennis has a collection of 2,000 LPs, I'm told. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
Please go to the Question Room and let's see what you're made of. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
Well, it's great to hear how fanatical you are about music, Dennis. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
Did I say... Was it 2,000 CDs, is that right? | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
No, LPs. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
LPs, right. And how many singles? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Over 10,000. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-Lovely. -Wow! -The wife doesn't think so. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
You are also the former Mayor of Crewe. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-Last year, yes. -So, you could, if The Eggheads win, | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
you can have Chris removed from the city? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
I don't have to be mayor to do that. I know a few people. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
All right. you're up against Kevin. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
It's a good thing to try and get Kevin out before the final. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
So, here is your first Music question. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
"When this old world starts getting me down | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
"and people are just too much for me to face" | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
are lyrics from which song by The Drifters? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
I don't think it's Down Under and Out In The Country doesn't sound... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
I think it's Up On The Roof. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
Yes, you're right. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
Kevin, your first question. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Which synthpop group had a 1981 UK hit single | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
with The Model? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
I think it was... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Just The Model? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
-The Model. -Yeah. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
I think this is Krautrock. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
I think it was a double-A side with Computer Love. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
It's Kraftwerk. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Yeah, it is Kraftwerk. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Great band. And Krautrock? I don't know. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
I wouldn't call them that, really. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-No, OK. -They're the defining electronic band of the age. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-Krautrock is more like Scorpions, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
OK. Dennis. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Slap and pop is the name for a method of playing which instrument? | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
I'm not sure about this. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
I'd tend to go for piano. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
I'm not 100% sure, but... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
OK. Piano. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:50 | |
I think your team-mates are troubled by that. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
-Go on, team. -We're veering towards bass guitar. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Yeah, I think it's that thing where... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
And I guess maybe Mark King of Level 42, | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
It's that thing where he's | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
banging it with his thumb almost and his little finger. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-Bass, yeah. -Bass guitar. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Kevin. Mozart's Symphony number 31 | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
is better known by the name of which city? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
I believe that's Paris. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Paris is the right answer. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Back to Dennis. You need to get this one right. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
What was the title of Fleetwood Mac's first UK top 40 single? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:29 | |
This is a band I went to see in Woolwich in about 1968 | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
before Albatross came out. I don't think Black... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
I think it's Need Your Love So Bad. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
That's my answer, anyway. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-Lisa? -I'd have gone for Need Your Love So Bad | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
because I think the other two would be when they were | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
slightly better established. But difficult. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Yeah, that's a really tricky question. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
The actual answer is Black Magic Woman. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
So, no way back, Dennis. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
The music round didn't quite fall for you there. Kevin, in the final. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Come back to us, gentlemen. And we'll play another head-to-head. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
As it stands, The Governors have lost three brains from the final round. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
The Eggheads have not lost any so far. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
And we have Politics for you | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
as your last head-to-head before the final. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-So, who would like this? -I'll do that. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Peter? OK. Against which Egghead? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
You can either have Lisa or you can have Barry. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-One on the end. -I'll chance my arm against Barry. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Good stuff. So, Peter from The Governors who... | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
I think you like your politics, don't you? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Only for the last 50 years, yeah. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
OK, versus Barry from The Eggheads. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
On Politics, Peter, would you like to go first or second? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
I'll probably kick myself for this, but I'm going to go second. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
So, we start with you, Barry. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
What name is given to the method of uprating the basic state pension? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
Ah, this was the famous triple lock of David Cameron. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
The pension had to be raised by the higher of various indices, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
of which there are three of them. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
Triple lock is right. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
Over to you, Peter. Good luck. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
Which of these is another name for | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
the Republican Party in the United States? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
I was a bit... I was thinking about elephants and donkeys for a moment, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
but I think it's the Grand Old Party. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
Yeah, GOP is Grand Old Party. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
For some reason, I always thought it was God's Own Party. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
But I've been misled somewhere along the way. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Barry, your question. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
What name was often given to former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Ah, now I have heard this. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
I just need a moment's thought. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
But for some reason, The Coroner is coming to mind, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
so I shall go for that. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
The Coroner is right. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
I don't know where that came from, I really don't. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Your question, Peter. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Who became the MP for Tooting in 2005? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Without a doubt it was Sadiq Khan. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Sadiq Khan is correct. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
Barry, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
The Lagting was the name of the upper house of the Parliament | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
of which European country? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
Could you spell that, please? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
The Lagting. L-A-G-T-I-N-G. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Well, I know the names of | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
all the lower houses of those three countries. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Norway is the Stortinget. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Denmark is I think the Folketing. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
I can't... Or that may be Finland. I'm getting confused now. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
Lagting. It doesn't sound particularly Danish. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
All the Finnish words I've ever come across seem to have more syllables | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
than are good for themselves. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
So, on that very specious argument, I shall go for Norway. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Dave did say to me the other day | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
his great tip is always choose Norway. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Oh, is this another Eggheads tip? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
No, this is one of Dave's ideas. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
Norway's right. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
There we go! | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
Always go Norway. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Right. So, your third question, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
you've got to get this right now, Peter. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
To which UK Parliament post was David Natzler appointed in 2015? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:27 | |
I don't think it'll help, but could you spell his surname? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Yeah, N-A-T-Z-L-E-R. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
To which UK Parliament post was David Natzler appointed in 2015? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
I think I might have heard of him if he was Black Rod. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Not at all clear on this, which is a shame. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Wish I'd gone first now. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
I haven't got a coin handy to toss it, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
but I will say Clerk of the Commons. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-Clerk of the Commons is right. -Oh! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Well done. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
Not easy. Those administrative jobs, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
which of them are ceremonial and which of them are real? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
So you're level after three questions. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
We go to Sudden Death. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
I don't give you different options. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Barry, Yevgeny Ivanov was a major figure | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
in which British political scandal of the 1960s? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
Yevgeny Ivanov? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
Ah, name rings a bell. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
If it's of the '60s, it has to be the Profumo scandal. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
Profumo is quite right. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
-Well done. Presumably, he was the one who slept with Christine Keeler. -Christine Keeler. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
Do you know, I actually met Mandy Rice-Davies once. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-Really? -And of all the places to meet her, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
I was in Israel in a Chinese restaurant | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
and she owned it and was behind the bar. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
And I had a lovely chat with her. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
And she was the most delightful person. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
Brilliant. I didn't know she was running a Chinese restaurant in Israel. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
-Strange. -That'll be a quiz question one day. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
OK. So, to stay in, Peter, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
the 1918 Representation of the People Act | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
gave the vote to all males in the United Kingdom over what age? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
I don't think it was 21. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
I've got a feeling that it was somewhere in the mid to late 20s. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:20 | |
One of these moments when I wish I could have a walk around the block and a think. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
OK, I'll take a stab and see if my luck's still in and say 28. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
28. Do you know, Barry? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
I think I would have gone for 30. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Oh, OK. You would have gone higher. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-The answer is 21. -Oh! | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Sorry, Peter. Knocked out by Barry on Sudden Death. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
So, if you come back to us, we'll play the final round. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
So, this is what we have been playing towards. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
It is time for the final round, which as always is general knowledge. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
to take part in this final round, so, Peter, Ben, Dennis and Gordon | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
from The Governors, would you please leave the studio? | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
OK, Damien. I know this wasn't quite the plan. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
No. But you can do it. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:09 | |
-It's been done before, Eggs, hasn't it? -A few times. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
One person against five. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
You're playing to win The Governors £2,000. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Barry, Judith, Kevin, Chris, Lisa, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
you are playing for something that money can't buy. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Trying to somehow restore The Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
This time, the questions are all general knowledge. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
I'm sorry, that doesn't help you. So, Damien, the question is, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
can you with your one brain defeat these five? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
And would you like to go first or second? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
I'll go... I'll go first. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
Damien, good luck. Here's your first question. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Which of these is a nomadic people | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
that inhabit areas in North and West Africa? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
The first answer... I'm torn between Sami and Tuareg. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:05 | |
Did you say North Africa? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-North and West Africa. -North and West Africa. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
OK. The first answer I thought of was Tuareg. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
I'm going to stick with Tuareg. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Tuareg is correct. Well done. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
Not an easy first question. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
And Qashqai and Sami, whereabouts are they? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
-The Sami are from Finland. -Finland. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
And the Qashqai are Central Asia. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
OK. Eggheads, Omni Consumer Products, | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
or OCP, is a fictional corporation | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
that features in which series of films? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
I thought that was RoboCop. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
-Yeah, that was my immediate thought. -Can we just have that again, Jeremy? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
Omni Consumer Products, or OCP, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
is a fictional corporation that features in which series of films? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
That's the only one that's got a major multinational company in it. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
Well, yeah... Omni seems to ring a bell. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
I'd have to do it by elimination as I don't remember it in Terminator | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-or Back To The Future. I don't think I've ever seen RoboCop. -No, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
I have a mental image of the RoboCop throwing directors of a company | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
through a plate glass window on the 60th floor or something. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Yep, it is... The evil villains in it are the corporate. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
So, I think, yeah... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
Yeah, I'm reasonably sure on that one. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
Go for RoboCop then, yeah? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
-Yeah. -Everyone happy? -Yeah. -Cool. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
OK, we reckon that's RoboCop. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Well, OCP is an anagram of cop, so yes, you're right. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
RoboCop it is. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
-Oh, yeah. -I never picked that up! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
THEY LAUGH Sorry. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
I didn't mean to point that out. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:36 | |
That would've got you there too quickly. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
OK, Damien, your question. What name is traditionally given | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
to a rigged two-masted sailing vessel, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
the forward mast being taller than the after one? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
Again, the first answer that pops out to me there would be... | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
It would be a sloop. I'm going to go with sloop. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
OK, I'm looking at the faces behind you. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Team-mates not sure. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:07 | |
They were doing a lot of hand signals there, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
just to try and describe the shape of the boat in their minds. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
Ketch is the right answer. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
Eggheads, to take the lead. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:18 | |
"Can this cockpit | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
"hold the vasty fields of France?" | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
is a quote from which Shakespeare play? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
It's in the chorus in the beginning, isn't it? | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
-Yeah. -Henry V. -The intro part. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
-"This wooden O" and all that jazz. -Yeah. -Yes. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
Memorably spoken by - I think it's Derek Jacobi in the film, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
it's Henry V. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:41 | |
Henry 5 is quite right. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Here's your third question. Get this right to stay in. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Damien, according to Roman writers, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
what was the first settlement to be destroyed by the Britons | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
during Boudicca's revolt? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
The first to be... | 0:27:03 | 0:27:04 | |
Destroyed by the Britons during Boudicca's revolt. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
I don't think... I don't think it was London. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
I think it was St Albans. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
It's certainly a name that comes up a lot | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
with Roman occupation of Britain, St Albans. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
As is London. As is Colchester. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
The correct answer is Colchester. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
So, we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
Ah, it's so hard to survive two wrong answers in the final round. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
-Absolutely. -That St Albans is... I know the logic of that. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
There was a lot of stuff going on there. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Commiserations to The Governors. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
The Eggheads have done what normally comes naturally to them. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
And you do reign supreme again over Quizland. No question of that. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000, | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
have the brains to do it. Take them down. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
£3,000 says they don't. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 |
