0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are:
0:00:35 > 0:00:37from Wolston in Warwickshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this isn't the first time that this team have appeared
0:00:40 > 0:00:41on a quiz show together.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46They all took part in Family Fortunes, 26 years ago.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Pete. I'm a retired business manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Paul and I'm a workshop controller.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, my name's Sam and I'm a hotel accounts manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Mark and I'm a sales rep.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Peter and I'm an installations engineer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Pete and team, hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Welcome. First of all, on the team name,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Not Slow is the key bit of the name, is that right, Pete?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Yes.- Why's that?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Well, it's Wolston backwards, and that's where we come from.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Oh, I see, the village name reversed?- Yes.- Right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18My wife was born and bred in Wolston, my lovely wife, Sheila,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20was born and bred in Wolston.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24She's the mother of this lot.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- This lot meaning your children? - My children.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Well, hardly children now.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- They're a bit old for that.- So, three brothers and a sister.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And tell me about Family Fortunes. Was this the line-up for that?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Yeah, Same line-up, yeah. - Oh, brilliant.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Who was hosting that? - Les Dennis.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- OK. So, we're going into a bit of TV gold there, aren't we?- Yeah, yeah!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Do you quiz together, Pete, at all?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50No, not really. We sort of quiz individually, but as a team,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I think that's the last time we got together as a team.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Family Fortunes a bit different to Eggheads, of course.- Yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Well, in 26 years' time, will people speak of this show as a distant memory?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Or will we still be going? - We'll still be here!
0:02:04 > 0:02:05I'll be 78.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'm not going to say how old I'll be!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I wasn't looking at you for that reason, Judith!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Challengers, good luck.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Every day, there's £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So, Not Slow on the Uptake,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27and there's £3,000 for you if you beat them. Would you like to try?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28- Oh, yes.- Great stuff.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So, one of you, please, against either Dave, Pat, Beth, Kevin or Judith?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Well, we've already decided. - Samantha.- It's going to be Samantha.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Yeah, I'll do that.- Sam, OK. - Samantha will do it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Hotel accounts manager. Against which Egghead? Any one of them.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- They're all good at History, aren't they?- Dave?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Dave?- Yeah, against Dave, please. - Dave, thank you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Very good, let's get cracking. Sam, from Not Slow on the Uptake,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave, who rarely is.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58I don't know about that!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Very, very fast on the uptake, our Dave.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:03:03 > 0:03:05in the legendary Question Room.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You're up against Tremendous Knowledge Dave, here.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Would you like to go first or second, Sam?- First, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Here we go. In 1989,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20the army of which country withdrew from Afghanistan
0:03:20 > 0:03:22after a nine-year occupation?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27I don't really know, to be honest.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'm going to have to say...
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Iraq.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It's not Iraq, actually. It's the one where the Russians went in.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- So it's the Soviet Union.- OK.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK, Dave, your question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Which of these historical figures was born in the 16th century?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Right, well. All naval.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Nelson was Trafalgar, so that'll be the 19th century.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02John Jellicoe led the Battle of Jutland in the 20th century.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So I've got to go for Francis Drake out of those three, please.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Francis Drake is correct, well done. Back to you, Sam.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Which of these things was widely banned in Scotland
0:04:12 > 0:04:14following the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie
0:04:14 > 0:04:16at the Battle of Culloden?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Well, I really can't imagine it being golf or haggis.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Obviously, it's not illegal now, is it,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but I'm going to say the wearing of tartan.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The wearing of tartan is correct, Sam, well done.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Nicely done.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36OK, Dave, your question.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Approximately in which year was Hadrian's Wall completed?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48The year I've got in mind is 128 AD,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51so 130 AD looks the closest to me.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You are Tremendous Knowledge Dave today. 130 AD is right.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59We're sort of looking for him to get one wrong, Sam, aren't we?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Hasn't happened yet. So, you need to get this one right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Your third question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The man named Tomas de Torquemada
0:05:07 > 0:05:10is best known for his role in which aspect of history?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19So, it's Tomas - T-O-M-A-S -
0:05:19 > 0:05:24de - D-E - Torquemada, all one word - T-O-R-Q-U-E-M-A-D-A.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It doesn't sound Spanish to me.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'm going to go the conquest of South America.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Dave, do you know this?- Spanish Inquisition.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Spanish Inquisition is the right answer.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Sorry, Sam, knocked out by Dave. Dave will be in the final round.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Don't worry, though, very, very early.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Please rejoin your teams and we'll play the second round.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49As it stands, Not Slow on the Uptake have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The Eggheads have not lost any so far,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54but your next subject is Arts And Books,
0:05:54 > 0:05:55so let's see what you can do on this.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's you, Paul, isn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- That's you, Samantha. It's my backup.- Oh.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00You'd better do that, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- OK.- Paul?- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The workshop controller against which Egghead?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Anyone but Dave.- Beth.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12All right, very good. Paul from Not Slow on the Uptake,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16taking on Beth from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Arts And Books, Paul. Would you like to go first or second against Beth?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23First, please, Jeremy.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Here we go with your first question.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Which of these works of art was created first?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Right, of those three I'd have thought
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the earliest would be Botticelli.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Henry Moore's more recent.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'll go for The Birth Of Venus by Botticelli.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The Birth Of Venus by Botticelli is quite right. Well done, Paul.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Over to you, Beth.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00In a poem by Hilaire Belloc, what is the first name of the child
0:07:00 > 0:07:05who chewed bits of string and was early cut-off in dreadful agonies?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Oh. It's not something I know.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I wonder whether there's a rhyme with string and king.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I think that's the only thing I've got to go with.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So, Henry King, chewed bits of string.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Henry King did chew bits of string, well done.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- I think it's as simple as that. - Yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29He's an old-fashioned rhymer.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Paul, your question - which of these is a book by Margaret Mitchell?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39It's not The Talented Mr Ripley.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43I think she was Gone With The Wind.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Gone With The Wind is right. Two to you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Beth, to catch up -
0:07:49 > 0:07:51an English nurse called Catherine Barkley
0:07:51 > 0:07:53features in which book?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Well, I don't remember her appearing in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I actually haven't read the other two.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11I've decided that, along the lines of Judith's magic right,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I'm going to go with the one I've never heard of,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and that's A Burnt-Out Case.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Well, I believe that's Glenn Green, is it? Eggheads?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It's not the answer. The correct one is A Farewell To Arms.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25That was my second choice!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29A Farewell To Arms is the answer, so you're ahead, here, Paul.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Get this right and you'll knock out Beth.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Which poet wrote these lines?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35"Because I could not stop for death,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37"he kindly stopped for me.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41"The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality."
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I think that sounds something like Yeats would say, so I'll go Yeats.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54It's not WB Yeats, no. It's Emily Dickinson.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So, Beth, you need to get this right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The artist/model Hortense Fiquet married which painter in 1886?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Can't remember Vincent van Gogh being married.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Hmm.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'm drawn to Paul Cezanne.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's going to be my answer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Paul Cezanne is the right answer. Well done, Beth, you've come back.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So, after three questions, the scores are level, and, Paul,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28it gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternative options now.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Here is your first question.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Which work by Dylan Thomas begins with these lines?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36"To begin at the beginning, it is spring.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40"Moonless night in the small town, starless and Bible black."
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm trying to think of something by Dylan Thomas.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And it's not coming to mind.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48No...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50The Mill On The Floss.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Your mind is creeping towards it, actually.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Under Milk Wood.- Oh, yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57All right, for the round, Beth -
0:09:57 > 0:10:02the adventurer Richard Hannay first appeared in which 1915 novel?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Was he in The 39 Steps?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Yes, Beth, you're right. The 39 Steps is correct, you've taken the round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Sorry, Paul, knocked out.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12So, round two has passed, another Challenger gone.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15What will happen next? Return to us and we'll find out.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21So, as it stands, Not Slow on the Uptake have lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24The Eggheads are still all there and your next subject is Sport.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- That's Mark.- Who would like this?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28That's definitely Mark.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- That's Mark.- OK, Mark, sales representative,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32against which Egghead? Can't be Dave or Beth.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37I don't really like to do it to Judith, but I guess we've got to try!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Judith, please.- It's my fate!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's not fate, it's Mark from Not Slow on the Uptake
0:10:42 > 0:10:44versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51So, Mark, do you remember this appearance on Family Fortunes
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- 26 years ago?- Yes, I do, yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Did I ask if you'd won? I probably should have asked.- We did win.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00We didn't actually win the jackpot, but we won the game and got through to the final stage.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02OK. And a good memory?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Not really, no.- Oh, really? Why not?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Well, every question I answered was wrong.- Right!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'd also had my eyebrows shaved off.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Was that... How did that happen?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We were on a football tour the week before.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16A couple of my mates thought it would be funny.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Did they restore them in make up or not?- Sort of.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20They tried, they tried.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- So the way you appeared on that programme is not something you want to remember?- No, not really.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27OK. Well, this is all good stuff, Mark.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Would you like to go first or second against Judith on Sport?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I'll go first, please.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Here we go. Which English football club won the Championship
0:11:36 > 0:11:38in May 2017?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Yes, I'm pretty sure on that. That was Newcastle.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Newcastle United is correct.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Judith, your question on Sport -
0:11:50 > 0:11:55which of these sports typically features two teams of six players?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Well, I don't think it's rugby league.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I don't think it's field hockey.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I think it's indoor volleyball.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Indoor volleyball is this right answer.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Mark, flic flac is a term in which sport?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Flic flac, which is F-L-I-C, and then F-L-A-C.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'm sure I would've heard if it was cricket, I'd have heard of it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26And I think I would've heard of that saying in tennis.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So I shall go gymnastics.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Yes, gymnastics is right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Judith, your question -
0:12:32 > 0:12:36the rugby union player Dylan Hartley was born in which country?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Oh, deary me.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I thought he was English.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I mean, it is just picking and hoping.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I'm going to go magic right, New Zealand.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50New Zealand is correct.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Sorry about that, Mark, she can do that sometimes.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Somehow this spell of the right, isn't it, Judith?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yes, well, it's my magic right.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Doesn't work for everyone. OK, Mark, your question -
0:13:01 > 0:13:05in 2002, the businessman John Henry led a consortium
0:13:05 > 0:13:08that bought which famous sports team?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'll go Boston Red Sox.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17A guess or Judith's magic right?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19It's Judith's magic right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's worked for you as well, that's remarkable!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- The Boston Red Sox.- There you are!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, your third question, Judith.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31If you get this wrong, do I even say what happens?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- You know all too well.- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37In 1979, who became the youngest man to win the Open golf tournament
0:13:37 > 0:13:39in the 20th century?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Well, I don't think it's Tom Watson.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'm going to say Seve Ballesteros.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54At 22... It was indeed Seve Ballesteros, well done.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57So, 3-3, and with scores level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Mark, it gets a bit harder, I don't give you options.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02At the 2016 Australian Open,
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Bruno Soares won the men's doubles title with which British player?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I don't know, but I'll try Jamie Murray. I know he plays doubles.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Nicely done, it is Jamie Murray.- Oh, great!
0:14:15 > 0:14:20OK, so you're tightening the screw here. Judith, to stay in -
0:14:20 > 0:14:23the American Greg LeMond won which famous race
0:14:23 > 0:14:28three times between 1986-1990?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I mean, part of me wants to say the Tour de France,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and the other part of me wants to say the Indy 500
0:14:33 > 0:14:35or whatever it's called.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'm going to say Tour de France.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Tour de France. Let's check with the Eggheads, is he a cyclist?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Yes, yes.- Yes, they say, Tour de France is right.- Oh!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48So, still fighting here, Mark.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53In which racket sport do teams compete for the Thomas cup?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's badminton.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Badminton is the right answer, Mark. Well done, you're back in charge.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Let's see if Judith can stay in.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04British international basketball player Luol Deng
0:15:04 > 0:15:07joined which NBA side in 2004,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11re-signing for them in a reported £40 million deal in 2008?
0:15:13 > 0:15:14I've no idea.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- If you get this wrong, it's curtains.- I know it's curtains.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23The other day, I did a whole great thing about American sport,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25and I've now got all the football teams, basketball teams,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28baseball teams completely muddled up in my head.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So I can't sort them out.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Chicago Bulls, I've no idea.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's probably not even a basketball team.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40You've got it right.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- I haven't!- You've got it right!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44JEREMY LAUGHS
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Brilliant!- That is absolutely...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49This is why you're an Egghead, Judith. That is remarkable.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- That is quite extraordinary.- Where did you get that from?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- It was amazing!- Well, I mean, I promise you, nowhere.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Well, that's brilliant.- Because all the teams are muddled up in my head.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Well, you did it, that's why you're an Egghead.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04That's why you won £1 million. OK, we go back to you, Mark.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05You can see how she's playing now.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08She's using some sort of spiritual guidance!
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Here's your question - Mark, Gooners are fans of which football club?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Arsenal.- Arsenal's right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Judith, your question, to stay in.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22In the USA, which major-league sport
0:16:22 > 0:16:25has been played by the Colorado Rockies
0:16:25 > 0:16:28since their inaugural season in 1993?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Colorado Rockies?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Ice hockey.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Oh, you got the really hard one right with the Chicago Bulls,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and you've fallen astray on the Colorado Rockies, who are baseball.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Oh, baseball.- So, Mark, well done, you are in the final.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44You've beaten Judith on Sport.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Tough old round, that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Please, come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55So, Not Slow on the Uptake have struck back.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57They've lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59The Eggheads have lost one now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01And we play on with Music.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Who wants Music? Peter or Pete?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Well, I guess it's got to be me. - It's got to be Peter.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'll take that. It's got to be me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Kevin?- May as well.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- OK, Kevin.- So, it's going to be Peter from Not Slow on the Uptake
0:17:14 > 0:17:17versus Kevin from the Eggheads, last round before the final,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So, Peter, good luck on Music against Kevin.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Would you to go first or second?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'll go first, please.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Here we go. Which song by Lady Gaga contains the following lyrics?
0:17:33 > 0:17:39"Ra-ra, ah-ah-ah Roma, roma-ma Gaga, ooh-la-la?"
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Say that again!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I can read them again if you want?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I don't think there's any need.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It's Bad Romance.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52It is Bad Romance!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I could see you weighing up whether
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- you wanted to admit that you knew! - Exactly!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58OK, Kevin, your question -
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Save Your Love was a Christmas number one in 1982 for which act?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Yeah, I think we had a bit of falsetto in this one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It was Renee & Renato.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It was Renee & Renato, well done.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17OK, now we go to you, Peter.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21The musical The Threepenny Opera by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht
0:18:21 > 0:18:24was first performed in 1928 in which city?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29First instinct would be Berlin.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So I'll go with my gut instinct, Berlin.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yes, Berlin is right, well done.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38OK, here's your question.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Kevin, the members of which US band met while at Columbia University
0:18:43 > 0:18:48and had their first UK top-40 single with Oxford Comma in 2008?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56What I'm going to go on here is that Columbia University is in New York.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Kings Of Leon are a southern band.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04The Killers, I think, come from somewhere out west, maybe Las Vegas.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08At least, I hope I'm thinking of the right band there.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The ones who're from New York are Vampire Weekend,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16and I think they have got a sort of college/university background.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'm making this up, basically, on fragments of information.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23So I'm going to say Vampire Weekend.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Yeah, they're very quirky. Vampire Weekend is right.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29All right, Peter, your question, your third question.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Which jazz saxophonist made an album in 1964
0:19:32 > 0:19:35with the guitarist Joao Gilberto,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38which featured The Girl From Ipanema?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Music not being my subject, I've not heard of any of them.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Maybe Lester Young.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50So, the magic right, Lester Young.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Ah, but it doesn't work all the time, I'm afraid.- Obviously not.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Stan Getz is the answer.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, Kevin has the chance to take the round, and this is your question -
0:20:00 > 0:20:04who released the 2016 album Long Live The Angels?
0:20:09 > 0:20:112016? That's one that's passed me by.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Long Live The Angels?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16No real clue in that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I honestly don't know. This is going to be a one in three.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I can't think of any particular reason why it would be Olly Murs.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I know Emeli Sande did make a comeback after some time away,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30but for some reason, since the choice's came up,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I've been drawn towards Michael Buble.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm going to have to say Michael Buble.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Michael Buble.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Now, I've got an Emeli Sande album, but it's not called this.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Does anyone know what her first album is called?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Our Version Of Events?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yes, that's it, Our Version Of Events.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Actually, this is Emeli Sande as well.- It is, it is her comeback.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yeah, I was worried about that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Peter, that's good for you, let you off the hook there.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So, we go to Sudden Death, with the scores level.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It gets a bit harder, because I don't give you different options.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Here's your first question, Peter.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04What is the one-word collective name for the twins
0:21:04 > 0:21:07who've twice represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest
0:21:07 > 0:21:10in 2011 and again in 2012?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Can't think of an answer at all.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18The Ugly Twins.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20JEREMY LAUGHS Well, nearly there. Jedward.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Oh!- Jedward.- Yeah, of course.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25So, Kevin, your question for the round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Which two-word girls' name appeared in the title of two singles by Buddy Holly?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32It's Peggy Sue.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34You know what the singles are?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Well, Peggy Sue.- Yep. - And Peggy Sue Got Married.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's it, yeah. Peggy Sue's the answer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well done, Kevin, you've beaten Peter. You'll be in the final round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Peter, sorry, knocked out there on Music. And it's Final time.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Return to your teams, we'll play for £3,000.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's time for the final round, which, as always,
0:21:53 > 0:21:54is General Knowledge.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:58 > 0:21:59to take part in this round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03So, Paul, Sam and Peter from Not Slow on the Uptake,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and also Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Pete and Mark, you're playing to win Not Slow on the Uptake £3,000.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Dave, Pat, Beth and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:17 > 0:22:18the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25This time, they're all General Knowledge, and you can confer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27So, Not Slow on the Uptake, the question is,
0:22:27 > 0:22:33can your two brains defeat these four super-sized Eggheady ones over here?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:35 > 0:22:36We'll go first, please.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42OK, Pete and Mark, good luck, final round, here we go.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Which substance is used by bees when constructing their hives?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I would have thought it was honeycomb.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Ambergris has got something... - Honeycomb came to mind.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- What do you think?- I can't read that. Is it ambergris?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01It's not ambergris. That's...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04That comes from whales, or something.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Something to do with perfume.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- I don't know.- Shall we go for propolis?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Propolis. We don't really know, but propolis.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Which one is it, Eggheads?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Propolis.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Propolis is the right answer. - Good.- Well done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20OK, your question, Eggs.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22From 1950-1990,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27what was the name of the Ministry of State Security in East Germany?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Stasi.- Stasi.- Stasi.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Stasi, definitely.- OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38That was Stasi.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Stasi is quite right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Next question.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45On a ship, what is the name of the casing
0:23:45 > 0:23:48in which a ship's compass is kept?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- It's a binnacle.- Yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Binnacle.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- You know that?- Yes.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Binnacle is right, well done.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Eggheads, your question to catch up.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06According to the proverb, who must be above suspicion?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Caesar's wife?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15That's Caesar's wife.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Caesar's wife is correct. So, it's a tight old final, this.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Not a lot of hesitation, two points each, playing for £3,000.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Your third question, Challengers.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28What is the name of the character played by Marlon Brando
0:24:28 > 0:24:31in the Oscar-winning film On The Waterfront?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37He certainly could have been a contender.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- I think it's Terry Malloy, isn't it? - I thought that when it came up.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45I thought it'd be more familiar to me when it came up.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48But I think it's Terry Malloy.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Terry Malloy's correct.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52So, you've got three out of three, really good play.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Really confident from our Challengers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And now we go to the Eggheads to see if you can keep the contest alive.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01The Naked City is a collection of photographs by which photographer,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04born in 1899?
0:25:07 > 0:25:091899?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That's too early for Diane Arbus.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- What about Man Ray?- And I think Man Ray was born in 1890.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- OK.- Pretty sure the other two don't fit the date.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- So I think it must be Weegee. - OK.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Yep?- Happy with that?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26We think it's Weegee.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Weegee is correct.
0:25:28 > 0:25:303-3.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You know what happens now, Challengers, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36And it gets a bit harder, because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40So, here we go. Which word, from the French meaning "against time",
0:25:40 > 0:25:44means a disagreement or embarrassing situation in English?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Ah! Contretemps.- Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Contretemps.- Contretemps is quite right. Well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Sudden Death, to stay in, Eggheads -
0:25:54 > 0:25:58which long-running Radio 4 news and current affairs programme
0:25:58 > 0:26:00is often known by the acronym Wato?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- World At One.- Can you spell the...? - W-A-T-O.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It's World At One, isn't it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Is that all capitalised?- Yes.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I think it must be The World At One.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15But W-A-T-O, isn't the... It isn't...
0:26:15 > 0:26:22- Well, I suppose A-T for at.- It's the only one that's a current affairs programme that's...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25He said long-running and it is long-running.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It has run for years and years.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29The World At One, it's called.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33OK, we're going for The World At One.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35The World At One is the right answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, Challengers, that was, for a second, I thought...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42But they were always going to get that right. Here's your question.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48The Chakri Dynasty is the long-serving royal ruling house of which Asian country?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51And Chakri is C-H-A-K-R-I.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53What do you reckon?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Asian. Chakri.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Pakistan or India.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02It sounds Indian, doesn't it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Don't you think? - Sounds Pakistani as well.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- What do you want, then?- No, you go for it. You're the man in form.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Never heard of it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17But we'll say India.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18India is your answer.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Let's go to the Eggheads. Do you know?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Thailand.- Thailand.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25So, quite a way out on the map.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Let's see whether that's fatal or not.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The contest is over if the Eggheads get this right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Eggheads, your question, Sudden Death -
0:27:32 > 0:27:36the railway station at Cornforth is well known for having been the location
0:27:36 > 0:27:39for scenes in which 1945 film?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Brief Encounter.- Brief Encounter. - Was it Brief Encounter?- Yep.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43I was there last year, actually.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, they've got quite a display there, nice, little museum.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Brief Encounter?- Yeah.- We think it's Brief Encounter.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51The correct answer is Brief Encounter.
