These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
You might recognise them, as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are Duet. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:42 | |
The team's name stands for Durham University Eggheads Team, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
so quake in your boots! | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
And they've got a 100% quizzing record played, played one, won one. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
Hi. My name's Tom, I'm 21 and I'm studying Geophysics. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi. I'm Simon. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm 21 and I'm an English student. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi. I'm Richard. I'm 20 and I'm a Geology student. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Hi. I'm Henry. I'm 23 and I study Anthropology and Geography. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
Hi. I'm Tris. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm 20 and I'm a History student. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-So Tom, you're all students at Durham University? -We are indeed. -Beautiful city. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
It is. It's quiet at times and yeah, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
but mainly based around the university which is very nice. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
It's almost the whole city is the campus. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Do you all study different things or the same things? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Well, I know Richard from our course and I'm a geophysicist as I said... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-Geophysicist, yeah. -But we know each other just from Durham. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
It's not very big, it's easy to meet people, I suppose, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
yeah, and also college. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
And you're all impossibly young... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
20, 21, 23. I mean how can you know anything at the age of 21? | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
-Well, we'll find out, won't we! -Yes, we will. Let's leave it there. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
to the next show. It would be great money to pay off your student loans with. So, Duet, the Eggheads | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
have won the last four games which means £5,000 says you | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
The first head to head battle will be on the subject of Science. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Challengers, we've got a geophysicist, and we've got | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
a geology, geography... we've got serious firepower here. Who wants to play? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-I think that will be me, I think. -Richard? -We'll play Richard. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
And which Egghead would you like to knock some sense into? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
I think I'll go for Judith, please. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
Judith, you blinked in a really weary way there! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
All right. Richard from Duet, now that's encouraging for you. Richard | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
from Duet versus Judith from the Eggheads, to ensure there's no | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
So Richard, are you ready? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-I am, yeah. -Are you about to get into the outside world or are you still studying? | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
I've just finished my finals, actually, so I'll be looking for jobs quite shortly. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
I've not nailed one yet but a few application forms have gone out. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
This could be like a job interview. You take Judith apart... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-I hope so. Some talent scouts may see me. -They may see you. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Everyone will want to employ you if you beat the Eggheads. It's looking good! I say that, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
but you haven't started yet! I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Science. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
so we're operating a pretty simple system here and you can choose, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Richard, the first or the second set of questions. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Richard, which hormone is normally released during stressful situations | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
and prepares an animal for fight or flight? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
Right. Well, I can rule out insulin, because that is something to do with | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
regulating blood sugar, I think. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
I'm pretty sure it's adrenaline, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
so yeah, adrenaline. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
That's your answer, and it's right, Richard. Well, done. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Durham students off to a flying start. Judith, which | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
word describes the act of cutting into or operating on a live animal? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
How horrible! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
What a beastly question. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Viticulture is to do with growing vines and vilification is what | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
I might do to the question setter if I get this wrong, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
so I think it's vivisection. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Yes. Horrible question for the other kind of reason, you're right. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Vivisection. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
Richard, typically a Barchan sand dune takes the form of which shape? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:42 | |
-Could you spell that, please? -Barchan is spelt B-A-R-C-H-A-N. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Barchan... | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Erm...mmm... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
I don't know. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Has it come up in geology? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Not memorably. Hopefully not. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
It might have come up but you were not in the lecture! | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
I've only missed one lecture ever, so I doubt it! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Well, maybe it was that one! | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
I don't think it could be sphere. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
I'll try crescent. That sounds most likely to me, I think. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
Well, done, Durham University. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
You got it right. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Judith, in which field of science is computerised | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
axial tomography normally used? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
Well, that's a CAT scan, so it's used in medicine. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:42 | |
You're absolutely right. It is a CAT scan and it is used in medicine. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
So neck and neck as we go to our third multiple-choice question. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
Good luck, Richard. In organic chemistry, what is | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
the simplest aromatic compound? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
-HE SIGHS -Chemistry isn't my strong point. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
I'll rule out acetic acid and... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
I think I'll go for benzene. I think that's... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-Did you say it was aromatic? -I'll read the question again. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
In organic chemistry, what is the simplest aromatic compound? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Yeah. I think I'll go for benzene. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
Is that a guess or is that a sort of geology knowledge style thing? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
It's an educated guess, I think. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
It's a good one. Benzene is right. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-Well, done. -APPLAUSE | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Pressure on you, Judith, from our student. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Which is the only big cat that cannot fully retract its claws? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
I wonder. I mean I'm sort of thinking | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
about a leopard and the reason I'm thinking | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
about a leopard is it climbs trees a lot and they're forever hanging | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
along, I mean lying along, branches, so maybe it keeps its claws | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
out in order to be able to climb the tree at any time, as it were, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
so I think I would say leopard. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
That's the reasoning behind it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Judith, cheetah is the answer. Leopard is wrong. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
I'm sorry, you won't be playing in the final round. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Our student, Richard, took on one of the Eggheads | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
and was a bigger Egghead. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
He's emerged triumphant. Good news for the challengers. Do come back to the studio. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
As it stands, the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
while the challengers have lost no brains. Our Durham students Duet doing really well. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Next subject is Film and Televisions, guys. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Which of you wants to take that on? Film and TV? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-What do you think? Henry or Simon? -Old stuff and new stuff. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-Shall I take it? -I think yes. Simon, yes. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-OK. I'll take it. -OK. Simon, who would you like to play against? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-Who do you reckon it should be? -I don't know. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-I think Chris is looking pretty good on the end there. -OK. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
Unanimous decision, I'll take Chris on, please. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Simon from Duet against Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Do go to the question room now. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
So I'm gonna ask each of you three questions on Film and TV in turn. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Simon, would you like the first set of questions or the second? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
I'll take the first please, Jeremy. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
Which 2008 Hollywood film directed | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
by Roland Emerick tells the tale of a prehistoric tribe? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
Well, I saw this at the cinema fairly soon after it came out. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:42 | |
I believe that's 10,000 BC. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Yup. If you've seen it you will know. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-You're right. Well, done. -APPLAUSE | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
Chris, your first question. Which actor who appeared in | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
the film "Three Men And A Baby" | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
was originally cast to play the | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
part of Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
Well, I can't see Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
because he'd already got the image as sort of Magnum PI | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
with the moustache. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Er...I don't think Steve Guttenberg is | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
right physically for Indiana, so it's probably Ted Danson, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
so I'll say Ted Danson. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Daphne, do you know the answer? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-Tom Selleck. -Tom Selleck is the answer to that! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
Was it the moustache that was getting in your way there? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Yeah. He'd already made a career as Magnum PI. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
Sorry, Chris. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
Next question to you, Simon. Who won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
In a Leading Role for her performance in the 2004 film Vera Drake? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
Well, I don't think it was Pauline Quirke. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
I don't seem to remember her being connected with that film at all. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
Julie Walters, another great sort | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
of British actress but no, I think it's Imelda Staunton. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Good work. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
You are right. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Chris, let's see if you can get lift-off here. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
In which 1996 film does Nicholas | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Cage play chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-Aye. -HE SIGHS | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
It's not The Rock, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
and I think Face/Off was later, so I'll have | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
a go at Con Air. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
If you can hear mumbling and | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
harrumphing, it's your team mates, notably CJ who started when you said | 0:10:52 | 0:10:58 | |
"it's definitely not The Rock", because it is The Rock! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
-Con Air is wrong! -I thought The Rock was set on Alcatraz? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
It is! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
It is. It's still wrong. So we don't see this very much. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
Chris hasn't even got a first. It might be a first, actually. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-We don't see a situation where Chris fails to score! Simon, well done. -Thank you. -Two right. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
He hasn't got any comeback. We won't ask the third question. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
You took on one of the Eggheads, emerged triumphant. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Great news for our challengers who are playing really, really well. The Durham Eggheads, Duets. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
Do come back to the studio. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
So, Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
It doesn't happen very often. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
The challengers have lost no brains. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
Next subject is Food and Drink. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
-Ooh! -I thought that might provoke an intake of breath! | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-I dunno. Shall we go for Henry? -I'll field it, I think. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-That's Henry, I think. -Yep. -Henry, on Food and Drink, against which Egghead? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
-I think I'll go for Kevin. -OK. So it's Henry from Duet versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:58 | |
Please take your positions in the question room now. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on Food and Drink. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Henry, you choose the first or second set. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
I'm not one to buck the trend, so I'll go first, please. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
What type of foodstuff is Chervil... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
C-H-E-R-V-I-L? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
I've come across this before. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
I'm not sure what it's used for but | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
I'm fairly certain it's a herb. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Correct. Well done. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Kevin, the term "Jerky" is used to describe a type of dried what? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
-It's a type of dried meat, Jeremy. -Yes, it is, indeed. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Your question, Henry. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
In Spanish-speaking countries, what is traditionally stored in a bodega? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
Bodega... I'm not entirely sure. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
I don't think it's bread, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
but I'll venture a guess at olives. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:10 | |
You don't sound certain. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
I'm not at all. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-You're right not to be. It's wine. -Aah. -Is that the first question | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
you lot have got wrong? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
I think so, yes. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
That's how good they are! | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
Kevin, what is often used as the main ingredient | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
of the Asian dish, Dahl? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:30 | |
That's lentils, Jeremy. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
-You're right. -Dahl is a lentil dish. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
Third question. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-Henry, you need to get this right. -Yep. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
By what alternative name is the kiwano fruit known? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
If you don't get this right you will not play in the final round. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
I've not heard of it before. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
I don't think it's the jelly melon. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
I'm gonna guess again and hope I get lucky with yoghurt apple. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
Yoghurt apple is wrong. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Sorry, Henry. It's jelly melon is the correct answer. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
Henry, you were beaten by | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
our Egghead so as a result, you can't help your team in | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
the final round, the first of our Durham University Eggheads to lose. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
Please both of you come back to the studio. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
whilst he Eggheads have lost two. Our last subject is... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Have a guess. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-Sport. -I knew it, I knew it! | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-And you haven't got a sports person there, is that right? -We don't. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-No we don't. -Hill-walking, big on hill-walking! Well, yeah, basically... | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Well, it might come up. So who wants to play and against whom? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
I'm not terribly strong on sport. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-I'm feeling fluky. -You know about Formula 1. -I'm feeling fluky. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
My family will be just laughing so much now, but I'll give it a shot. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
OK, Tom. It's you versus which Egghead? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-It's gotta be CJ or Daphne? -We'll go for Daphne, I think. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Daphne from the Eggheads, against | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Tom from Duet, please take your positions. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
-Are you ready, Tom? -I'm as ready as I'll ever be. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
-Three questions on Sport, multiple choice. First or second set for you. Which do you want? -I will... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
I'll go second. Buck the trend. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Daphne, which shot would you execute in tennis in order | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
to make the ball stop abruptly, usually just after clearing the net? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
Aah. I think... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
I'm not absolutely sure. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
I think that's a drop shot. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Are you pretending to be uncertain? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
No. I'm... I thought it was drop shot and then you put lob in and I thought | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
aah, is it? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
No, and I'm trying to remember because I used to play doubles and | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-you stand at the net and you go like that, don't you? -You do... -Don't you? | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
A bit of back spin. Yes, I think so. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
-Drop shot is right. Well done. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
I thought we had her for a second there, Tom. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
In which sport do players compete for four so-called majors over the course of the year? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
Well, I'm hoping that's golf. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
It is golf. You're right. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Thank goodness. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Daphne, your second question. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
A suicide squeeze play is a high risk, high-reward play in which US sport? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
SHE SIGHS High risk? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
Jeremy, I can't even imagine what it looks like or... | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-I... -Suicide squeeze play. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
My apologies to the team. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
I've never heard of it. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
I'm going to go for American Football, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
because I have no idea. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
Any of you Eggheads know? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-Oh, it's wrong! -It is wrong, actually, yeah. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
I know that me saying that gives it away but Eggheads? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-I'd say baseball. -Baseball? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
My first thought was ice hockey, so... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
I'm looking at it thinking 'suicide | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
squeeze' sounds like two players, three players in motion together. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
Why would it happen in baseball? But it is baseball. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
Well, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, the Meatloaf song, | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
in the middle of that, there's about 90 seconds of baseball commentary | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-and that mentions the squeeze play. -Really! Are you serious? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-Serious. -Incredible! | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
Baseball is the correct answer, so, initiative | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
passes to our students here. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Tom, mufflers invented by Jack Broughton were a precursor to which piece of sporting equipment? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
I mean perhaps Broughton is a clue. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
I wouldn't say studded football boots because, well, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
it doesn't seem like that, does it. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
It could be... Broughton is a brand of shin pads is it...? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
but I think I'm gonna go for boxing gloves, just because | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
it sounds right, you know, having mufflers | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
just to kind of, so you don't | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
hurt your hand or whatever. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:23 | |
-Boxing gloves. -You surprise me there. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
You said it's a brand of shin pads and then you moved to boxing gloves? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-Well, is it? -I've taken boxing gloves as your answer. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
I don't wanna persuade you that it's not because you're absolutely right. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-Daphne... -I know. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
If you don't get this right, you will also join your team | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
-in the sin bin. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
Which famous goalkeeper | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
made his last appearance for his country against Brazil in | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
the 1986 World Cup at the age of 41? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
1986... SHE SIGHS | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
1986...erm... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
I'm absolutely hopeless. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
SHE SIGHS Peter Shilton. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
-Is wrong. -I knew! Pat Jennings? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
There is some justice. Pat Jennings, if you'd guessed that right, | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
it would have been amazing... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
-Yeah. -Mind you, your guesses are very good most of the time so, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
great news for the challengers because it means your captain will be with you in the final round, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
so both of you, Tom and Daphne, please come back to the studio. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
We have now reached the final round, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
which as always is General Knowledge. Those of you who lost | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
your head to heads won't take part in this round. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Who was that? Remind me. It's Henry from Duet | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
and Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now | 0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | |
leave the studio. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
OK. Tom, Simon, Richard and Tris you are playing to win Duet £5,000. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
Kevin and CJ you are playing for something that money can't buy... | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are all general knowledge and you are | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
allowed to confer with each other, so Duet, the question is, | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
And you can also tell me whether you wanna go first or second? | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
We'll go first please, Jeremy. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
The first set of questions for you, Duet. Good luck. Which car company | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
is famous for producing the Phantom and Silver Shadow models? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
Well, it's definitely... | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-Rolls Royce. -Yeah. It's Rolls Royce. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-No doubt? -No doubt. -You're right... it's Rolls Royce. Well, done. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
Eggheads, who made his film debut as Clinton Reno in Love Me Tender in 1956? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:14 | |
-Presley. -It was Elvis. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-Oh, it's me, isn't it? -It's you. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
-Elvis Presley, yes? -I think so. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-We think that's Elvis Presley, Jeremy. -It is Elvis Presley, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
named after one of his songs, or was the song named after the film? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-I think the song came first. I stand to be corrected on that. -Song first, film second. One all. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
Duet, Touchstone, The Jester is a character in which Shakespeare play? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:43 | |
Touchstone, the Jester? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
You're the expert, Simon. What do you think? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Thanks, Richard. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-Was it Touchstone you said, Jeremy? -Touchstone the Jester. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
And Simon, you're an English literature student. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
-THEY LAUGH -No pressure at all then. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-You don't want reminding of that! -OK. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Macbeth. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
-It's not Macbeth. -And I don't think it's Othello, either. I'm... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
fairly positive it's As You Like It. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Which of course you've ready many times! | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
He's in there, yeah, As You Like It. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
OK, Eggheads. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Which US city was ravaged in 1871 | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
by a great fire that burned for days and left thousands homeless? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
-I kept forgetting it's me. -Chicago. -That's Chicago. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Yes, it is. Chicago was ravaged by the great fire in 1871. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
Two points each. Now here's an idea. You get this one right, they get | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
their one wrong and you go home with the money, right? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
-Hopefully. -That's the really simple way of doing it. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Matelot is an old-fashioned slang word for which kind of serviceman? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:59 | |
Matelot, M-A-T-E-L-O-T, is an old-fashioned slang | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
word for which kind of serviceman? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I have no idea. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
I've got no idea where to start. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
My only... Matelot. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Matelot is French, isn't it. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
I mean maybe in that respect you could have sailor. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Well, the other thing is, my limited English literature knowledge, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
what is that | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
Matelot Sailor, is that a poem, quite a famous poem? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:32 | |
Yeah, but was it... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
-Was there a sailor in that poem? -He doesn't have a name. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
-He doesn't. No, no. -It's a difficult one. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
I'm gonna say sailor, but that's just a complete guess. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Well, it's not... | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
We've got some logic for sailor, haven't we, but hmmm... | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
-We don't think it's pilot. -We don't. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Shall we go with our initial gut feelings? I can't remember which | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
Egghead said that was always a good idea, but one of them did. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
-I think, go for sailor? -I think we'll have to. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
I think we'll have to go for sailor, but we're not at all sure, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-as you can tell. -You're joking! | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Sailor is right. -Excellent! | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Well, done. Comes from a Dutch word meaning to share hammocks. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:18 | |
-Share hammocks? Oh, dear. -Not French at all. -Oh well. -Never mind. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
So, if the Eggheads get this wrong, you've got £5,000. If not, we go to sudden death. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:31 | |
OK, CJ and Kevin. Which Roman Emperor is said to have boasted | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
that he found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
-Augustus. -Sure? | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Sure. Let me think for a second. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Erm... Nero had more to do with burning it down. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:53 | |
-I'm sure it's Augustus, yeah. -Yeah? -Augustus. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
Erm...Augustus, Jeremy. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
You said that with some conviction. That's what you like, isn't it? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
It was there straightaway. No doubt. You're right. It's correct. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
OK, very good on the multiple choice. After three questions, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
the scores are level. We now go to sudden death. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
To make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Durham University Eggheads Team, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
the name of which maligned London Borough is often said to be derived | 0:25:18 | 0:25:24 | |
from the Anglo-Saxon for wild saffron or crocus valley? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:31 | |
-Erm... -I have no clue. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
-The malign borough. I mean... -Yeah... | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Hackney? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Tower Hamlets. Peckham? | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
-Possibly. -Derived? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Derived from the Anglo-Saxon for wild saffron or crocus valley? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:54 | |
Well, could 'ham' mean that? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Ham... Peckham, that's how | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
-it's spelt. -Ham' I think means... | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-I think it means farm, actually. -OK. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
-I have a feeling it does. -Can we think of any more maligned London boroughs? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
Maligned London Boroughs... | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
-Well, I think I would rule out Tower Hamlets. -I doubt that. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
-It sounds quite recent anyway. -Yeah. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
We're gonna have to take a plunge. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Hackney, Brixton, Peckham. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
I'd say probably not Hackney but that's not based on anything. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-I just don't think it sounds round. -OK. Shall we go for? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
-Peckham? -Peckham. Go on, we're gonna have to take a plunge with Peckham. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
Peckham? Are we all happy with that? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
-Yeah. -Peckham. -It's wrong. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
-Eggheads? -We don't really know it. -We've come up with a few possibilities. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
The most maligned one we can think of is Hackney. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
-There's also Walthamstow. -Think a bit further outside | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
-sort of Greater London, still a London Borough but... -Hounslow? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
Croydon? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
-Croydon. -Croydon! Well, oh, well! The Eggheads didn't get it... | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
Wish you'd chosen the second question now! | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
'Cro' is wild saffron and 'denu' is valley. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
Sorry, Duet. But it's not over. They can get this wrong. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
Fingers crossed. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:18 | |
Eggheads, for the contest now, in 2003, the son of which world leader signed a two | 0:27:18 | 0:27:25 | |
year contract to play for the Italian football team Perugia? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:30 | |
He plays football, doesn't he. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-It's Gaddafi son. -Do we know his name? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
-No, because they said the son of which world leader, so. -The leader is Colonel Gaddafi. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
You're right. I asked for the leader, you've given me the leader. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
His son happened to be called Al-Saadi Gaddafi. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
Commiserations, Duet. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
-You're not feeling too deflated, are you? -We put up a good fight. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-We put up a good fight. -We did. We can hold our heads high. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
You certainly can. You've been brilliant, and I was at Durham University | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
and I would loved you to have won today. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
They still reign supreme over Quizland. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000 which means that | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
money then rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
Who will beat you? Did you know the Gaddafi question, by the way? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
-No. -No, no idea. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
So maybe second/first didn't make too much of a difference? | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-Well... although we'd have had another chance. -You would have! | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
