These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
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, where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Challenging our resident quiz champions today | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are Monte's Elephant from Kent. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
The team is a combination of two pub quiz teams who compete | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
in the Thanet Quiz League in Ramsgate | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
as the Montefiore Arms and the Elephant and Castle. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi. I'm Trisha. I'm 65 and a retired conveyancer. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi. I'm Ashley. I'm 58 and I'm an IT project manager. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Hi, I'm Ingrid. I'm 51 and I'm a housewife. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
Hi, I'm Gary. I'm 52 and I'm a train driver. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Hi. I'm Lorraine. I'm 46 and I'm a medical programme implementer. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Welcome to you, Monte's Elephant. I was going to ask where the name comes from | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-but it must be the two pub names. -Yes, it is. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-The Montefiore... -And the Elephant and Castle. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Half of you go to one, and half to the other. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-Yes. -Nice pubs? -Oh, yes. Got plenty of beer in! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
We're the Elephant. Got the ears for it! | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-I'm not an Elephant. -Who are the Elephants? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
We're the Elephants, up the far end. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-It's your birthday, Trisha? Happy birthday. -It is. 21 again. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
I hope the Eggheads give you a present, make things easy. Though they never do! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
What will you do if you win? | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Um, travel, I think. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-To where? -Mexico or Japan. -OK. Good luck to all of you. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
Every day, there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
So, Monte's Elephant, the Eggheads have won the last nine games, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
which means £10,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music. Music? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Do we have an Elephant or a Monte? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Probably Lorraine. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
All right, then. OK. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-OK. -Lorraine, not in the conversation, then you were chosen! -Yeah! I'm shocked. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
-Yeah, I do music. -OK. Against which Egghead? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Um, I will go against CJ. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
OK, so it's Lorraine from Monte's Elephant versus CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
Lorraine, on your birthday last year, what happened? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-I got kissed by Donny Osmond. -Was that accidental or were you looking for it? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
It was accidental. I was in the audience and he asked if anybody had any questions. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
My sister said, "It's my sister's birthday." | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-He ran up and gave me a big kiss. -Let's see if he comes up in Music. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
You choose first or second set, Lorraine. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Um, I think I'll go first, please. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Lorraine, the simple piece of music known as "Chopsticks" | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
is usually played on which instrument? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Ah. Well, I've never played an instrument apart from a recorder when I was a lot younger. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
Um, I don't think it's the violin. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
And I'm pretty sure it's not the flute | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
cos my sister used to play that. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
So I'm gonna go for piano. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Absolutely right. Do we have any pianists in Monte's Elephant? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Yes, Trisha. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
The tune goes... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-# Dee-dee-dee... # -It doesn't go like that! | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
It doesn't go like that! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
# Da-da-da dah-dah Dah-dah-dah # | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
That one. CJ, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
"Definitely Maybe", released in 1994 | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
was the debut album of which group? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-That was Oasis, Jeremy. -That's the correct answer. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Lorraine, here's your next question. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Which Grammy-award-winning singer won the first series of American Idol | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
in 2002? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Ooh, a bit of relief here. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Rihanna my youngest daughter is a massive fan of. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
And Christina Aguilera my older daughter used to be a fan of. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
So I'm gonna go for Kelly Clarkson. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Kelly Clarkson is quite right. Well done. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Pressuring CJ. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
What name is given to the musical instrument in the form of a pipe | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
which has a plunger rather than fingerholds | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
so it slides from note to note? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
I think that's a Swanee Whistle. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
Correct. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:06 | |
Number three. You're doing well, Lorraine. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Which British composer wrote Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:17 | |
And here my mind goes completely blank. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
I really haven't got a clue | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
so by the fact that I'm going to go eeny, meeny, miny, mo, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
I'm gonna go for Edward Elgar. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
I wish you'd gone one more "mo" | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
and given us Ralph Vaughan Williams cos that's the right answer. You've two points. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
CJ can still come a-cropper. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
And frequently does! | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
The Anvil Chorus is from which Verdi opera? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
The problem is something occurs to me straightaway. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
That's one of the options. But I've had this question before in a quiz | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
and I'm trying to think back to the answer! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-Was it a pub quiz? -No, it was part of the professional British circuit. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
Um, I'm going to plump for Rigoletto. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Is that the answer you gave in the professional quiz circuit? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
I did if it's right, and I didn't if it's wrong. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Because it's wrong. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
It's Il Trovatore. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
He's let you off the hook, Lorraine! | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
Scores are level. It's sudden death to make it that bit harder. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
Not multiple choice. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
Here we go, Lorraine. Who sang the first line on Band Aid's 1984 Christmas UK Number One single | 0:06:40 | 0:06:47 | |
Do They Know It's Christmas? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
I'm thinking of two. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
I'm gonna go alphabetically and go for Bono. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
That's wrong. It was Paul Young. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
CJ, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
get this right and you've won the head-to-head. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Who in March 2008 became the first British woman | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
to top the USA singles chart | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
for more than 20 years? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
The last person to do it was Kim Wilde | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
and this time with Bleeding Love I think it was Leona Lewis. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
Leona Lewis is the right answer, CJ. Well done. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Bad luck, Lorraine. Kept him hanging on. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Beaten by our Egghead so as a result you can't help your team in the final round. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
Please both come back to the studio. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
The challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Eggheads have lost none. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Lots to play for. Next subject is Sport. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
Who wants Sport and against which Egghead? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-It has to be Gary. -The only one with a chance. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-Nobody else. -Go for it, boy. -It's got to be me cos I'm so sporty! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
Who do you want to play? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Who looks unsporty? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
Chris or Daphne? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
You're searching out the fellow train driver. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-Yes, that's an idea! -Or Judith? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Yeah, Judith, then. Judith. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
OK. Gary from Monte's Elephant versus Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-Gary, you can choose the first or second set. -I'll leave the station first. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
Pulling out now! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
Which Irish Rugby Union player was nicknamed | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
"Uncle Fester" by his team-mates? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Well, it's not my strong suit, rugger. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
But Uncle Fester, as I remember, was bald-headed, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
and out of those, Willie John McBride had a good head of hair, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
and so did Mike Gibson. But Keith Wood is bald. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
So by that sort of warped logic, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
I'm gonna go for Keith Wood. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
Keith Wood was Uncle Fester, you're right. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
Brilliant logic, actually. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
The Eggheads would be proud of you with that one. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Judith, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
which tennis player was crowned BBC Sports Personality Of The Year | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
in 1997? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
I think probably Jeremy Bates had stopped by then. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
So either Greg Rusedski or Tim Henman. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
I mean, Greg Rusedski is actually Canadian, isn't he? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Maybe it was to celebrate him becoming English for the purposes of tennis. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
Um... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
On the other hand, everybody loves Tim, don't they? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
I think I'm actually... I'm going to go for Tim. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
-Going for "Tiger Tim" Henman. -Yeah. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-You're wrong. It was Greg. -Oh! | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Second question, Gary. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
How many full-time England football managers has David Beckham played under? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
Well, he would have been with Kevin Keegan, Sven... | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Um, Sven's assistant. I can't think. McLaren. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Obviously the latest one. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
It's five or six. I don't think it's seven. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
I'm gonna... I'm gonna say six. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-Six is your answer? -Yeah. -You're just one out. It's five. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
It's five. Sorry about that. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Judith, here's your next question. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
How many American Football teams are there in the NFL? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
I haven't the foggiest! | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Um, down the middle. 22. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Wrong. 32. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
So, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
Gary, which cricketer attracted a record bid of 1.5 million | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
in the Indian Premier League's 2008 player auction? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
I don't really know anything much about cricket. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Sachin Tendulkar is a big name | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
so I'm gonna go for Sachin Tendulkar. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Wrong again. It was Mahendra Singh Dhoni. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
Bad luck. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
OK. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
Judith, what nationality is Martin Lel, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
who won the men's London Marathon race in 2005, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |
2007 and 2008? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
This I should know. I did know that he won the marathon. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
I think he's a Kenyan. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yes. Has to be. -You're 100 per cent certain? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-Not in the least certain. -I can tell. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
But you're right. He was Kenyan. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
We now go to sudden death. First you, Gary. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
Which famous jump is named after the jockey who rode the horse Conrad | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
in the first Grand National in 1839? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
I think I would guess on this. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
The famous jump I know was one that was named after Captain Becher. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
So I would probably say Becher's Brook. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
It was, indeed, Captain Becher. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
And it was Becher's Brook. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Judith, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
which squash player announced in 2001 that he was defecting | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
from his native Scotland to represent England | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
in international competition? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
I know the name of one squash player | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
and I'm not sure I'd even get that right. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
He's been a squash champion a number of times. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
I have no idea about minor squash players. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
Um... | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Do you want to give us a clue who you're thinking about? | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
Well, I was thinking about Amir... I think it's Amir Khan or something. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
He was Pakistani, I think. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
The one I'm thinking of. I don't know. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
McTaggart comes to mind. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
What, the name of a Scottish person? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Exactly. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
-So Amir McTaggart? -No, not Amir McTaggart! | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
I'm just inventing it. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-Should I take any of those answers? -Ian McTaggart. Why not? You never know! | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
Ian McTaggart! | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Oh, dear. No, that's not true. It's not right. It's not correct. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
It was Peter Nicol, not Ian McTaggart. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Judith, you're wrong. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
How about that? Well done, Gary. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
It was a tough round. He took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
Good news for Monte's Elephant. Gary can play in the final round. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
Both please come back to the studio. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
The challengers and the Eggheads have lost one brain each | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
from the final round. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:01 | |
Our next subject is Geography. Who wants Geography? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-You go on your travels. -Geography. -Try that. -Have a go at that. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
So it's you, Trisha. Which Egghead? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-I'll have a go with Chris, please. -OK, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
Trisha from Monte's Elephant versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
Here we go. First or second set, Trisha? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
Trisha, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
the seaside town of Weymouth, popularised as a bathing resort by George III | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
is in which English county? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
It's certainly not Kent, cos that's where I'm from. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
And it's not Norfolk, so I'd say Dorset. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Like it. Snappy. You're right. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
Chris, Nepal is bordered by China and which other country? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
It's up in the Himalayas at the top end of India. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
It's India. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
You're right. It is India. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
One apiece. Back to you, Trisha. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
What does the letter C stand for in the name | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
of the Australian territory abbreviated to ACT? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Well, I don't think it's Capital. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
Culture. Could possibly be Culture. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
So it must be Australian something Territory, mustn't it? | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
So... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
I'll say Cattle. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
I'm afraid you're wrong. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Eggheads? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
-ALL: Capital. -Australian Capital Territory. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-It's called Australian Capital Territory. -Yes. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
There we are, Trisha. Sorry about that. It wasn't Cattle. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
Chris, what is the term for a sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur? | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
Well, a drumlin is a small hill. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Cwm is Welsh for valley, so it wouldn't be a ridge. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
So it's got to be an arete. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Arete or arete is the correct answer. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Trisha, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
the Langkawi Cable Car, the longest free-span, single-rope cable car in the world, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:28 | |
is located in which Asian country? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Um... | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
It's something I'm not sure of | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
cos I haven't been to any of those countries yet. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-It's on your list to do, isn't it? -It is, yes. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
I think not Malaysia. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Could be Hong Kong or Japan. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
I would say Japan. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Japan is your answer. Gary, you flinched there. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Do you know the answer? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
Well, we think it's Malaysia. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Yeah, it is Malaysia. That's the end of our round | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
because you can't come back from there, Trisha. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Chris, congratulations. It means Trisha will not appear in the final. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
Do come back to the studio. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
OK. The challengers have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain over here. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
We have our last subject now before we go to the final round. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Film and Television. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
I don't do nothing but watch telly all day! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
You'll be fine in this round! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
OK, Ingrid. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
-Who do you want to take on? -Oh, gosh! -Who looks like they've never been in a cinema? -Kevin. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:52 | |
It's Ingrid from Monte's Elephant against Kevin. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Ingrid, first or second set? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Ingrid, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
Jabba the Hutt is a character in which series of films? | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
Jabba the Hutt is a character in which series of films? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
Well, it's not Mission: Impossible cos that's Tom Cruise. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Rocky, it's not that. It's Star Wars. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Star Wars is correct. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
OK, Kevin, | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
in which country was the TV drama series Prisoner: Cell Block H set? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
A masterpiece of television drama, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
and it was set in Australia. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
You're so right. Well done. One-all. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
I still maintain that show had the best theme tune ever on TV. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
You'll have to hum it, now. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
-# -You used to bring me roses | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-# -I wish you would again. -# | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
OK, Ingrid. Over to you. Sorry for that moment of madness! | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
Which actress has starred in remakes of King Kong, Funny Games and The Ring? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
I don't know. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
I think I'd know if it was Nicole Kidman. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Or Kate Hudson. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
I'm gonna go for Naomi Watts. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-Your team just went "Yes!", like that. -Ooh. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Lorraine, you went "Yes" cos you know she's right. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
She is right. Well done, Ingrid. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Brilliant. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
The spirit is with you! | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Kevin, Mummra, spelt M-U-M-M-R-A, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
was the chief villain in which animated 1980s TV series? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
I'm sure both CJ and Chris might know this | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
but I haven't got a clue. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Did they have a chief villain in The Smurfs? I don't think so. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
Evil Father Abraham, or something. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
I know nothing whatsoever about Thundercats. It's just a title. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
It means nothing to me. I know precious little about mutant thingies. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
I'll say that. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I really don't know. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
CJ's head has hit the desk. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
This is a rare moment. You know the answer over here? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
-Thundercats! -Thundercats, they say. Kevin, you're wrong. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Know nothing about it. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
Well, Ingrid... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
-Tell me about it! -If you get this right you knock out one of the greats. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
Please let it be on Corrie! | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
-OK, here we go. -Right. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-This doesn't happen very often. -No. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
Anthony Minghella's 2008 TV movie, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
was the first BBC drama shot entirely on location in which African country? | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
I really, really don't know. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
Um... Zambia. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Ouch! | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
-Ow. -Botswana. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Kevin, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
which British actress played the role of Carla Jean Moss | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
in the Oscar-winning film No Country For Old Men? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
That was Kelly MacDonald, Jeremy. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
Yes. Well done, Kevin. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Two-all after three questions. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
We move to sudden death. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Ingrid, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
what is the surname of the fictional professor and defender of the Earth | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
who's been played on TV by Reginald Tate, John Robinson, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
Andre Morrell, John Mills and Jason Fleming? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
I'll know it as soon as it's said. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
I can remember John Mills in it, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
I think. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
No, I don't know. I can't think of it. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Just need the surname. Give us a guess. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Jackson. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Quatermass. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-Quatermass! I knew it! -Oh, bad luck. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Kevin, you get this, you win the round. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
In which 1978 TV drama did Bob Hoskins play Arthur Parker, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
a cowardly and dishonest sheet-music salesman? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
In the Dennis Potter series, Pennies From Heaven. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
Quite right, Kevin. You don't miss much. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Ingrid, I'm sorry. You had a good chance, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
but he's pretty unbeatable most of the time. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Well done, Kevin. Do come back to the studio, both of you. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Really close. Really well played, Ingrid. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-Thank you. -Bad luck you can't play in the final round. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, our final round. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
As always, it's General Knowledge. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
Those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
So that's Ingrid, Trisha and Lorraine from Monte's Elephant | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Please leave the studio. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Well done on getting this far, guys. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
You're playing to win Monte's Elephant £10,000. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
It's all general knowledge. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
Monte's Elephant, the question is, are your two brains | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
Ashley and Gary, would you like the first or second set of questions? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
We'll go first. We've been first every round. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Your first question. Which car manufacturer produced the Testarossa? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:56 | |
That was the famous red-head. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Red you associate with Ferrari, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
so we'll say Ferrari. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
Boys have got to get that one right! | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Ferrari is correct. Well done. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Eggheads, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
which telecommunications company was founded by Akio Morita | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
and Masaru Ibuka in 1946? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
The Japanese one of those three! | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
The only Japanese one out of those is Sony. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Right answer. Well done, Eggheads. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Monte's Elephant, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
the Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem played international rugby | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
for which country as a teenager? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
I think he's the guy in No Country For Old Men. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Something tells me Argentina. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
-They like... -They play rugby. -They play rugby. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
I don't think it's Spain. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
I think... | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
-It's common sense. -Argentina would be a good bet. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:11 | |
A good bet, yeah. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:12 | |
Yeah. We're not quite sure, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
but Argentina seems like a good guess. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yes. -It's wrong. I'm sorry. It's Spain. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
Next question is for the Eggheads. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Which organisation was founded by Dr Chad Varah in 1953? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
Which organisation was founded by Dr Chad Varah in 1953? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
The Samaritans. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:41 | |
-The Samaritans. -Is the correct answer. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
There's a moment when they hear the question, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
if they've got it, they just look so unbearably smug! | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
-Oh, we don't! -Welcome to my world! | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
I was just looking at CJ, Daphne. Don't worry! | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
Third question. You need this. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
According to the Bible, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
who was forced to help Jesus carry his cross | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
to his execution? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
According to the Bible, who was forced to help Jesus carry his cross? Take your time. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
That name sprang even before they came up, for some reason. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
Was it Simon of Cyrene? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
It rings a bell, doesn't it? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
I'm not any way near sure, | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
but the only thing... Who was Barabbas? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
Wasn't he crucified at the same time, Barabbas? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Perhaps. But maybe he helped him. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
So was it Simon of Cyrene? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
What are you thinking? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-Not sure. -We think Barabbas was crucified at the same time | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
and therefore he'd have his own cross to bear. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Or whether it was Simon... We don't think it's Joseph Caiaphas, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
for reasons we can't explain! | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
-Cos we've never heard of him! -That's one problem! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
Simon of Cyrene. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
-That's your answer? -Yeah. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
You're right! | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Still in with a chance. Was Barabbas released instead of Jesus? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
-Yes. -That's what happened? So he was out of the picture by this point. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
Now it gets exciting. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
As if it wasn't already. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Eggheads, the BND is the federal intelligence agency | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
of which national government? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
Got to be Germany. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
-That is Germany. -Do you know what it stands for? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
-Um... -Bundesnachrichtendienst. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
How do you know that, Kevin? | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
-He's an Egghead! -It is the Bundesnachrichtendienst! | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
He is an Egghead, and the Eggheads have won. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
Just neck and neck and then "Bang!" at the end. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
Commiserations, challengers. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with that precious £10,000. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
That money will now roll over to our next show. Eggheads, | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
We'll wait and see. Join us next time | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat this lot. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
£11,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye! | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
