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 > 0:00:14arguably 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 pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads. Looking forward to today's challenge?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- ALL:- Oh, yeah.- OK.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Up against the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Wolds Apart from Lincolnshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Team member Chris has run a local quizzing league for over
0:00:44 > 0:00:4826 years, which the majority of the team regularly compete in.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50So they sound serious, don't they?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm John.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53I'm an accounts controller
0:00:53 > 0:00:54in a chocolate factory.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Graeme, I'm a retired
0:00:56 > 0:00:58professional horse racing punter.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm a retired office manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Keith.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm a retired primary school teacher.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Derek and I'm a primary school PE and sport coach.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, John and team, hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- ALL:- Hi.- Great to see you. And you're connected to quizzing,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17which sounds very promising, John.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Er, yes, that's correct.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Four of us in the team take part in the local Horncastle Quiz League,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25on three different teams - myself and Derek are on one team,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Graeme's on another team and Chris is on a third team.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Now as soon as you say the words quiz league,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32the ears prick up on this side, don't they, Eggs?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- EGGS:- Yes.- Anyone been near the Horncastle Quiz League?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Or are you too worried about it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- Too worried!- Frightened.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So they're sizing you up over there.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Mmm.- Now, John, you work in a chocolate factory.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- That's correct.- But you haven't bought any chocolate.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- No. I haven't.- Judith wants an explanation.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Yes, why haven't you brought any?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Unfortunately the, the accounts there are very tightly regulated...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So getting samples out is very difficult.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- What a pity.- Why are you called Wolds Apart, may I ask?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Because we live in or near the Lincolnshire Wolds.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Right. Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:04 > 0:02:06for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I can tell you, Wolds Apart, that the Eggheads are on a...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13..is it a roll, or a run or a streak or what?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Whatever it is, it's impressive because they've won the last 13.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Oh!- So you've really caught them at a good moment,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21because there's £14,000 to play for.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Would you like to start?- Absolutely. - Good stuff.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Look at them, they are so competitive here, I can tell.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food and Drink.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So one of you, please, against
0:02:32 > 0:02:35either Dave, Steve, Beth, Kevin, or Judith.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I think we've decided what's going to happen here, haven't we, Graeme?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I thought this might happen.- That's going to be Graeme for our team.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- He's going to play.- OK. Graeme against which Egghead, Graeme?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I think we've already decided that as well!- Kevin.- Kevin.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Got a feeling about this contest.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I've got a feeling. Graeme from Wolds Apart taking on Kevin from the
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Eggheads, who sometimes struggles on Food and Drink.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:03:02 > 0:03:04in our famous Question Room.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07So you're on Food and Drink against the great Kevin
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- and would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Here we are. Which part of England
0:03:16 > 0:03:19is known for its traditional curd tarts?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Curd tarts.- Curd, yes - C-U-R-D.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Oh, I don't know this one for sure.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I suspect it's not London.
0:03:29 > 0:03:36Because of the clotted cheese I think I would lean towards Cornwall.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37So that's my answer, Cornwall.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38The answer's Yorkshire.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Kevin, your question.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Which common edible fruit comes from cultivated
0:03:44 > 0:03:47trees of the genus malus?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Lemon is a citrus and pear is pyrus,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56but malus is apple.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Malus is apple, you're right. So Kevin goes ahead.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Graeme, your question.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02From what are Dorset knobs made?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Er, Dorset knobs, I must admit I've never heard of them.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I suspect it's not potato.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I suspect that that may be a type of roll or something like that, so I
0:04:16 > 0:04:18shall go for bread dough.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Is he right, Kevin? - Yes, I think so, yes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I think they are a type of bread roll.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Bread dough is right, well done.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Got your first point. Level now with Kevin.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Kevin, to take the lead.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33The anise-flavoured alcoholic drink called "arak,"
0:04:33 > 0:04:35or less commonly "raki," is traditionally produced
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and consumed in which part of the world?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47It's not, I don't believe it's either Iberia or the Baltic.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And the spelling would lead me
0:04:49 > 0:04:51to the Levant. So the Levant.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53The Levant is right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And by Levant, where do we mean, roughly?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Middle East, roughly, basically, I'd say.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Eastern end of the Mediterranean.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK. So the Eggheads are on two here.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02And our Challengers are on one.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And that means you need to get this question right, Graeme.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08The historic Paris restaurant La Tour d'Argent
0:05:08 > 0:05:11that claims to date back to the 16th century
0:05:11 > 0:05:14is particularly associated with which dish?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Mmm. I would think the salmon souffle
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I would suspect may be more northern European.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Jellied chicken breasts, I'm less inclined to towards.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Pressed duck sounds like the sort of thing a Parisian restaurant might
0:05:35 > 0:05:37specialise in, so I shall go for pressed duck,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39although it is a bit of a guess.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Challengers, do you think he's right?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- I'd have gone for that. - We're hoping so.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44They would have gone for that as well.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Pressed duck is correct.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Two out of three. Is it enough?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Let's see. Kevin, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54The rum, ice cream and banana dish called bananas Foster
0:05:54 > 0:05:59is said to have been invented in the 1950s in Brennan's restaurant
0:05:59 > 0:06:01in which US city?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I've heard of bananas Foster,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09but where it originates is another matter.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Brennan's restaurant.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Brennan's restaurant.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Right, I mean, because you can,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19there are different ways of making cases for all of these, really.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You could go down the route of where do bananas,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24in terms of trade routes and shipping and that sort of thing,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26where do bananas come in?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30That would lead you more towards Los Angeles or New Orleans.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Brennan is an Irish name,
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Boston famously has a very large Irish population, so
0:06:36 > 0:06:38it could be, yeah, it could be any of them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42So I'm on the basis that it might have something to do with
0:06:42 > 0:06:45a dish whipped up in Hollywood or something like that.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I shall go for Los Angeles.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- You've got it wrong. - I'm not surprised.- It's New Orleans.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Is it really? OK.- Yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Hard to reach for that one.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, three questions each and the scores are level.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Bit of a let off there, Graeme. We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It gets a bit harder. I don't give you options.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06What name of a Dutch and Belgian spirit taken from the Dutch word for
0:07:06 > 0:07:08juniper refers to the alcoholic drink
0:07:08 > 0:07:12that is said to be the ancestor of English gin?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Um, that would be a clear liquor, so that counts out advocaat.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I really have no idea on this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm just going to have to make a wild guess.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Which I'm pretty sure is wrong, but say advocaat.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30No, I think probably the logic
0:07:30 > 0:07:33would be a word that sort of gives you gin,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and it's jenever.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Or genievre.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Must admit, I haven't heard of that. - Taken from the Dutch word for juniper.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41OK. Sudden Death.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Kevin has a chance to take the round.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Which famous restaurant on the Costa Brava,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49associated with molecular gastronomy
0:07:49 > 0:07:54and several times named the world's best restaurant, closed in 2011.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I believe that's El Bulli.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59El Bulli is the right answer, Kevin, well done, you've taken the round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Graeme beaten by our Egghead, Sudden Death, Food and Drink.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04So it was a tight first round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Let's see what happens next, please come back to us.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12So as it stands, Wolds Apart have lost a brain from the final round,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Let's surge at them now, Challengers.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16The next subject is Music.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Who would like this?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Was that for me or you?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Keeping me if Sport comes up. - Are we going to keep you...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Well if... Yeah, but what if Sport comes up?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Derek's the Sport.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- If you want.- I'll do it if you want me to.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We're going to go Chris for this round.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41OK, Chris, our retired office manager on Music,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43against which Egghead? And it can't be Kevin.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Dave?- Well, if that's what you want to go for.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yeah. OK. Dave.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Very good. Chris from Wold's Apart versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Please, go to the Question Room, both of you, now.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Well, Chris, on Music, would you
0:08:58 > 0:09:00like to go first or second against Dave?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01I'll go first, please.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Here we go. Which song recorded by Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys contains
0:09:11 > 0:09:14the lyrics - "I'm the new Sinatra and since I made it here
0:09:14 > 0:09:15"I can make it anywhere"?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I don't do modern music.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So it's going to be a total guess.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And I will say Talk That Talk.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Dave will tell you this one.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yeah, its Empire State of Mind.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's about New York.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So, Empire State of Mind is the answer, Chris.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- OK.- Dave, the term harmonic curve
0:09:37 > 0:09:41refers to the shape of the neck of which instrument?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Don't know. Not heard this at all.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50I suppose harp's curve.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Harmonic curve...
0:09:52 > 0:09:58Yeah, I'll go harp, but really no validation for it at all.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Not heard the term.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Harp is the right answer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04OK, Chris, your question.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06For Those About To Rock, We Salute You
0:10:06 > 0:10:10is the title track of an album by which band?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I should know this.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'm not sure.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Toss up between two of them.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I'll go for AC/DC, but I'm not 100% sure at all.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Let me just check with your team-mates, is she right?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- That's right.- Absolutely,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34it's, yeah. Unmistakably an AC/DC album.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Dave, your second.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39"We've gold and soil and wealth for toil
0:10:39 > 0:10:41"Our home is girt by sea
0:10:41 > 0:10:45"Our land abounds in nature's gifts of beauty rich and rare"
0:10:45 > 0:10:48are words from the national anthem of which country?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Just with the last words, beauty rich and rare,
0:10:59 > 0:11:04and the Australian National Anthem is called Advance Australia Fair.
0:11:04 > 0:11:12Now also, surrounded by sea would imply Australia.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15That's all I've got to go on. Australia, please.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I guess you rule out Canada because it's not surrounded by sea,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20could have been New Zealand, but it's Australia,
0:11:20 > 0:11:21you're right Dave, well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So, Dave has two. You need to get this one right, Chris.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29The overture entitled Portsmouth Point first performed in 1926
0:11:29 > 0:11:33was an early piece for full orchestra by which British composer?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43To be honest, I've never heard of Gerald Finzi.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Ralph Vaughan Williams.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Eggheads?- I think it's Walton.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It is William Walton.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- That was...- Chris.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It was between those two.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Bad luck. Dave has won the round, Chris you are beaten by our Egghead,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00as a result you won't be helping your team in the final.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Please, both of you return to us and we will play round three.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So, as it stands, Wolds Apart have lost two brains from the final round
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and the Eggheads are all still sitting there,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and you're on this run as well.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14The next subject is History.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16So let's see if we can get one out now.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Who wants this?- History.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I think it's going to be me, history.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23OK, John, from the chocolate factory.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Against which Egghead?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, that's the problem with history,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30all the Eggheads are very strong on history.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yes, they know their stuff, they know their kings and queens.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- What do you think, John? - I think I'm going to take on Beth.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39All right, John from Wolds Apart taking on Beth.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Is this the turning point in the game?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Please take your positions.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Well, John, the other thing that connects your team which we haven't
0:12:47 > 0:12:48mentioned is chess, of course.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- That's correct, yes.- Perfect.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54So when you play chess against them as part of the league or the club,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56does it take a day to play a game?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Or how do you do it?- No.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00We have chess clocks so you only have a certain amount of time
0:13:00 > 0:13:02to make all of your moves, otherwise
0:13:02 > 0:13:05games would go on almost indefinitely.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Because I had a bit of an issue.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I was talking to the Eggheads about it the other day,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11where I played Garry Kasparov at chess.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Right.- Because he came in to be interviewed on my show.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Did you win?- Well, I said,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18we've only got three or four minutes
0:13:18 > 0:13:20while a record is on to actually play,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22so if you give me a very bad starting move to do,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'll do it and then you can checkmate me.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And he said, "Oh, I don't need to do that!"
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So I just played,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I mean, he played very fast,
0:13:30 > 0:13:31he played a move every half a second,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and I tried to respond every couple of seconds and he beat me in
0:13:34 > 0:13:38a minute and six seconds, so it was a bit of an experience, really.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I've got it all on tape so I can show you it later on.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43You can tell me where I went wrong.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Would you like to start now on History?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Ah, I think I'll change tactics and go second.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53OK, so Beth gets the first question in the third round.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55History the subject.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Beth, which of these is the name of a style of English
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Gothic architecture dating from the 13th and 14th centuries?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I think this might be decorated Gothic.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Decorated is correct.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK, first question to you, John.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Got to do what your team mates haven't done so far
0:14:17 > 0:14:18and get the first one right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Because it's been a pattern so far.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Here we go. According to the chronicler Raphael Holinshed,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28what was the gift from the French Dauphin in 1414
0:14:28 > 0:14:31that Henry V found very insulting?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Oh! Now this is something I haven't heard.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I would probably rule out tennis balls.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I don't really associate tennis with the 15th century,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47more Henry VIII and the 16th century.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Um, puppies are known for being probably quite weak,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53so I would guess at a puppy.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55A puppy is your answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Do the Challengers know this?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59We were thinking it was a wooden sword as an insult.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Yeah, I might have guessed a wooden sword. Eggheads, what do you think?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Tennis balls.- Tennis balls. - Really?- Why was it tennis balls?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- What was going on there?- I think it was meant to insult him,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11as a young and callow king, that he, because he...I mean,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15he'd been known for his high living and for preferring to go out with
0:15:15 > 0:15:19his friends, sporting, etc, rather than being...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21..or developing the kingly virtues.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26So this was meant to be a reference to his not being kingly, basically.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So tennis balls is the answer, John.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Beth. In which century did Richard first Earl of Cornwall
0:15:34 > 0:15:36build a castle at Tintagel?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45This is all purported to be around the myth of King Arthur.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47That's where his seat was supposed to be.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50So I wonder whether it was quite early on.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Certainly wasn't as late as the 17th,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58because the myth of King Arthur's been around for longer than that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01ninth or 13th?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03I think it was...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08..pretty early on as castles go, let's go with the ninth.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10No, the 13th, Beth.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- 13th, yeah.- 13th century.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, so that gives you a little break here, John.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Here is your second question.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Which of these French military commanders
0:16:19 > 0:16:23was made a marshal of the Empire under Napoleon I?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37I'm trying to put marshal in front of their surnames -
0:16:37 > 0:16:41so Marshal Soult, Marshal Tallard or Marshal d'Esperey.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And I think the one that I've heard of is Marshal Soult,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48so my answer is Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult is the right answer, well done.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Back with us. It's a good tactic,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56you put marshal in front of their names, it worked.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57OK, so you're level.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Beth, your question.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02In 1814, several hundred thousand gallons of which
0:17:02 > 0:17:04substance flooded into London's streets
0:17:04 > 0:17:06just off Tottenham Court Road,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09destroying houses and killing at least eight people?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Destroying houses?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Before the options came up, I thought maybe sewage.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Which may have led to the
0:17:22 > 0:17:26redevelopment of the sewer system in London.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yes, I'm going to stick with sewage.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- It's beer!- Oh!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35OK. So you have a good chance here,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37John, Beth has just got one point,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and we see whether you can get into the final with this question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43What was the name of the group of female medical students
0:17:43 > 0:17:48who were pelted with rubbish as they attempted to attend
0:17:48 > 0:17:53an anatomy exam in the Surgeon's Hall Riot of 1870?
0:17:57 > 0:18:03Right, well, when I hear anatomy, I associate that with Edinburgh.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I know there's a lot of anatomy studied there,
0:18:06 > 0:18:07so that's the only thing I've got to
0:18:07 > 0:18:10go on so I'm going to go for Edinburgh Seven.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13You're a good quizzer, because you're absolutely right.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Edinburgh Seven is correct, well done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Here we go. Deadlock broken slightly.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21You're in the final, John. Beth has been knocked out.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Please return to us. One more round to play before the final.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So the captain fighting back for our Challengers.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Wolds Apart have lost two brains from the final round,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33and the Eggheads have now lost one.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Just this left now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- I think that has to be Keith. - OK, Keith.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42And which Egghead would you like?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It can be either Steve or Judith.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- What do you think?- I think this is Judith's best category...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52..so I think that means we're going to have to take on Steve.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- OK.- It's going to be Keith against Steve.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59All right. Keith from Wolds Apart taking on Steve from the Eggheads.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00To ensure there's no conferring,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06All right, Keith. Here we go, Arts and Books.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Let's see if you can level it up by getting into the final round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Here we go, Keith, good luck.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Lucy Maud Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables
0:19:20 > 0:19:22was first published in which year?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Ahem, I think this one was quite early.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It could be 1908.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'd discount 1958.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I think I might just go down the middle with that one, 1908.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Challengers, what do you think? - We think it's the earlier one, 1858.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45They like the 1858. Actually, 1908 is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Well done. Steve, your question,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52the author David Baldacci is best known for which genre of fiction?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I've not read any of his novels, but I'm pretty sure,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01out of the three options, he is most closely linked with thrillers.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Thriller is right. One each, Keith, back to you. The term
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Glasgow School generally refers to a group of artists and
0:20:09 > 0:20:12designers that were working around the end of which century in the
0:20:12 > 0:20:14so-called Glasgow style?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Glasgow style.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Um, I think they would be fairly recent.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Rather than 15th or 17th century.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'd be looking more at the 19th century.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So I'll try 19th century.
0:20:32 > 0:20:3419th is correct.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Well done. You're playing well. Two out of two.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Steve on the back foot. Steve, which writer's series
0:20:39 > 0:20:43of novels for young adults about the confessions of Georgia Nicolson
0:20:43 > 0:20:47includes It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I have absolutely no idea.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01This really is a one-in-three guess.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I've not read them, surprisingly.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Um, I do tend to see Katie Fforde's name on the book shelves
0:21:07 > 0:21:11quite a lot in the children's section,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14so one-in-three, Katie Fforde.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Katie Fforde. Anyone know?
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Louise Rennison.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Louise Rennison is the right answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23This is good. You're ahead, Keith, get this one right,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25you're in the final, and you've levelled things up.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27In Shakespeare's King Lear, what
0:21:27 > 0:21:29is the name of the villainous illegitimate
0:21:29 > 0:21:31son of the Earl of Gloucester?
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Ah. These are all three very Shakespearean names.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42And I don't know the answer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48But Edmund is usually the bad guy, in many novels,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- so I'll go down the middle with Edmund.- That's interesting.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You got it right. Edmund is the right answer, well done.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So you are in the final and you have knocked out Steve.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00And that makes it very interesting with £14,000 to play for.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Do return to us, both of you, we will play the final now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So how exciting this is.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08It's what we've been playing towards.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's time for the final round. As always, its General Knowledge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:15 > 0:22:17to take part in this round.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19So Graeme and Chris from Wolds Apart
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and Steve and Beth from the Eggheads,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30John, Keith, and Derek, you're playing to win Wolds Apart £14,000.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Dave, Kevin and Judith, you're playing for something
0:22:32 > 0:22:35that money can't buy, to keep this run going.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39And keep the Eggheads' reputation nice and shiny.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44This time they are all General Knowledge,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and you may confer, gentlemen.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50So the question is - can your three brains defeat these three over here?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00OK, Derek and team, here we go with your first question.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03What did Cheryl and Liam Payne
0:23:03 > 0:23:07name their son, born in 2017?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- I don't know this one, do you? - Who are these people?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- I don't know.- She's Cheryl Cole.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Oh, right, is it?- And Liam Payne's the guy out of One Direction.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Oh.- Isn't Apple Gwyneth Paltrow's? - Yes, it is.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I think it's Bear, but with no great degree of confidence.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29My instinct is Bear.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, I'm happy to go with your instinct on this.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33We're not sure, Jeremy,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37we've just got an inkling it's a little bit of an unusual name,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38so we're going to go with Bear.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Bear is correct.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You're behind, Eggheads.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44£14,000 on the table.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Here's your question.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47For a right-handed golfer,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50which term refers to a shot that is out of control
0:23:50 > 0:23:53and curves sharply left to right?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58So it goes that way.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02You hit it with that hand, it goes that way.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'd be more inclined to pull.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Have you ever heard of a flub? - Not heard of a flub.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Doesn't sound right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I've heard of pull and slice in relation to golf, but...
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I think it's a slice.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19That would be my inclination.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21My inclination is pull.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I've really not got a definition on the question.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29So I'd go pull, but I haven't got any...I can't rule out slice,
0:24:29 > 0:24:34to be honest, so do you two want to go slice?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I can't be definite about it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- It's my inclination.- OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We're very unhappy about it,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42but we're nonetheless going to go for slice.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Slice is the correct answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Well done, team.- It is slice,
0:24:46 > 0:24:47it's not pull. OK.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Challengers. Which of these phobias
0:24:50 > 0:24:52describes an abnormal fear of snakes?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Is it...
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Snakes.- The clue's in the first part of the name.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Yeah.- Bath...- Any inklings?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10My inkling is the middle one - alektorophobia.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Keith?- Why would it be that?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16For me, it would be a pure guess, one out of three.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18If either of you two have got an inkling...
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Are we going with the middle one, then?- Looks like it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23THEY MUMBLE
0:25:23 > 0:25:26As you can tell, Jeremy, we really don't know,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29we're going to go for the middle one - alektorophobia.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Alektorophobia.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34That's actually a fear of chickens.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Chickens.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Which one is it, Eggs?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- EGGS:- Ophidiophobia.- Ophidiophobia is the answer we were looking for.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Bathophobia is a fear of depths.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Ah.- Deep.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47So your second question,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49we're all over the place in this game, aren't we, today?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51See if you can take the lead, Eggheads.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Which architect was engaged to build Blenheim Palace
0:25:54 > 0:25:55for the Duke of Marlborough?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Was it...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Vanbrugh.- Vanbrugh definitely, yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03That is Vanbrugh, John Vanbrugh.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05John Vanbrugh is right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06They've taken the lead.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08You need to get this one right.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11What was the plane in which two French First World War heroes
0:26:11 > 0:26:16disappeared while trying to fly between New York and Paris
0:26:16 > 0:26:20two weeks before Charles Lindbergh managed the feat?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26And you need this to stay in.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- I don't know, I don't know this. - Sorry, I can't help here.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31This isn't something that I've heard of.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Presumably whatever plane it was,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35it's going to be the colour of that name.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's not giving any clue at all.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What colour is the plane going to be?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I would have said of those three it's more likely to be white, but...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Silver gull.- You think silver?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- What colour would you make... - Or the White Bird.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49What colour would you paint a plane
0:26:49 > 0:26:51if you were going to try to fly like that?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54That's not specific is it, the White Bird?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Whereas the other two are specific...
0:26:56 > 0:27:00The Silver Gull, the Blue Swift.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03They're going across the water, of course.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06It's more likely to be a gull.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I'm not, I'm sort of thinking Silver Gull, but...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- I'm coming around to... - Happy with that?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- A guess.- OK.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17We don't know, Jeremy, but we're thinking
0:27:17 > 0:27:21that two of those name a specific bird and the White Bird
0:27:21 > 0:27:24is very general, so we'll discount the White Bird
0:27:24 > 0:27:26and we are talking about the fact that it's over the water,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28so that led us to the Silver Gull.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That's our answer.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31So your answer is the Silver Gull.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33If you've got this right, we play on,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36if you are wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38The answer is the White Bird.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm sorry, Challengers.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44But we have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50That was a really unusual final round, because you were struggling.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I could see where you were coming from, Dave,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54on the golfing answer, no question,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57but I thought the Eggheads are going to get their first question wrong,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00then you've got eyes on the money, and then you stumbled
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and it was just a funny one.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Commiserations, quizzers.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Good game, good game.- Really interesting all the way through.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11right at the end there and this winning streak continues.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I'm afraid it means the Challengers don't go home with the £14,000,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17so boy, is our jackpot building up. The money rolls over.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Eggheads, well done. Is anyone going to seize this money?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- I can't see it happening.- I can.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Trying to jinx it. Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:26 > 0:28:30have the brains to defeat the Eggheads and win £15,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
