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 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 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 five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly - no, probably - the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
You might recognise them, as they're Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
are the Carebears from Birmingham. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
The team all work in the care industry and they take their name | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
from the nickname given to social workers by the police. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 51 and a social worker. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm Jenny, I'm 37 and I'm a senior social work assistant. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:59 | |
Hi, I'm Pete, I'm 38 and I'm a referrals officer. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Hello, I'm Sarah, I'm 36 and I'm a social worker. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Hello, I'm Rick, I'm 41 and I'm a student nurse. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
So welcome, Carebears. Steve, that's the nickname? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Yes, that's the nickname the police give us sometimes, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
because they feel we're sometimes a bit pink and fluffy. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
Are you all in the same pink and fluffy work? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-It's not pink and fluffy actually, is it? -It isn't, no. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
There's four of us who work in social work in inner city Birmingham, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
mainly in child protection. One of the team, Rick, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
is a trainee nurse at the moment, which, again, is a fairly tough job. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
And you're the Scrabble player here? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-I play tournament Scrabble. -That will immediately | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
ring alarm bells over there, because they'll know you've got | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
an Eggy kind of brain. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Good luck. Every day there's £1,000 | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
So, Carebears, the Eggheads have won the last ten games, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
which means that £11,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
The first round, head to head battle is on the subject of history. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
So, challengers, which of you is the historian? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Team Captain? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Who did we agree was History? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-Definitely Pete. -I think Pete. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
So Pete, referrals officer, which one of these | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-would you like to refer to? -I'm going to take advice from my team | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Captain here, cos I always do what he says, he's senior management | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
and pretends to work for a living. Steve, what do you think? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
Pete take on CJ. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
So it's Pete from the Carebears against CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
in the question room. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
questions on history in turn. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly, funnily enough, is the winner. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Pete, you get a chance to choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Let's try and crank the pressure on myself and go first. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
The Act of Supremacy made which monarch | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
the head of the English Church? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
I reckon that was when old Henry VIII was having a bit of trouble | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
trying to get a divorce and the Pope didn't want to let him have one, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
so he decided to set up the Church of England instead, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
get rid of the wife, get a new one. I believe it was a lot | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
cheaper in those days as well, it just cost you half a country. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
So I'm going to say Henry VIII. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Great, you know the lot and you're right as well. One point to you. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
CJ, what type of the vehicle was the World War II after Avro Lancaster? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
It's the Avro bit that's throwing me. The Lancaster was an aeroplane, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
but I assumed the Avro is just a bit plonked on the front of that. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
So I hope it's an aeroplane. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-You think it's an aeroplane with an Avro on the front? -Yes. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Avro is just AV Rowe - the AV being the initials and Rowe the surname, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
the original manufacturer. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
It's the name of the company, CJ, and you were right any way, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
so you don't even have to know it. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Second question, Pete. Which Italian city state gave its name | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
to a late medieval gold coin | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
that later became standard across Europe? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
This is a bit tricky because it's a bit before I was born. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
But I'm thinking towards Florence, because Florence, florin, I've heard | 0:04:38 | 0:04:44 | |
the florin, but part of me says | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
florin's more northern European, possibly British. It's tricky. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
I don't think it was Rome. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
I don't know why I don't think it was Rome, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
but it's not singing to me. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
I think a process of elimination, and not really knowing | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
what I'm talking about, means I'm going to go for Venice. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
OK... | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
You were getting so warm and then you got the wrong answer. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-It's the florin from Florence. -I talked myself out of it. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
Yeah. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
CJ, which US President created the Federal Reserve Banking system? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
Strangely I don't know this straight off. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-Presidents being my specialty. -You read a book about them last week? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
It wasn't last week, it was about four years ago. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
I would hope, I mean, that Wilson and Truman | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
are well into the 20th century | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
and I'd hope the Federal Reserve predates that. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
I'm wondering if it was set up | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
to help fund the civil war, so I'll go for Lincoln. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-When you read this book four years ago, was this mentioned? -No. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
I thought so, because it was Woodrow Wilson. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Pete, that's good news for you. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
According to the Anglo-Saxon chronicle | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
what did the inhabitants of Northumbria see in the sky | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
before the Viking invasion of AD793? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Gosh! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
There's some question. I'm trying to work out Halley's Comet | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
but maths isn't my strong point backwards. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
But that wouldn't help, because would it be any of the three? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Dragons, maybe... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
More Eastern Europe and east. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Chariots, the Romans I suppose would've been in there earlier | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
and they would've known what chariots were. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
But would Halley's Comet stay there? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
I think, I will probably regret this, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
I will have to go with two moons...that's my answer. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
Two moons is your answer. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
I would have said that as a guess, but it's wrong. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Fiery dragons. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Was that a comet then, Eggs? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
I don't think it was Halley's Comet. It could have been something | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
like a meteor shower that was particularly bright. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
Of course, people see what they want to see and they interpret it | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
as an omen because what comes to mind is a flying dragon. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
CJ your last question in multiple choice. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
If you get it right, you've beaten Pete. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
What name is given to the ancient man-made island dwellings | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
found on Scottish lochs and inland waters? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
I've never heard of brocks. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
I thought crannogs were dwellings but that could be wrong as well. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
Cairns? What are cairns? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
My instinct was crannogs, so I'm going with cairns. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Your instinct was crannogs so you've gone with cairns? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
-Yes, my instincts are always wrong. -They're always wrong? -Yes. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
They weren't this time, crannogs was the correct answer. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
After three questions it's one point each. We now go to sudden death. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
Pete, your first question, these aren't multiple choice. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
The peasants' revolt took place | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
under the reign of which young English King? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
"The peasants are revolting." I can't think of his name... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
There's a question. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
This is probably me goodbye, I'm going to say... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:37 | |
or am I? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
No idea why, I've plucked out of the ether, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Edward II, if we even had one of them. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
It was Richard II. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Sorry. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
The next question for you, CJ, the Battle of Totem | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
of 1461 was the largest and bloodiest of which conflict? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
I knew all that because | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
various estimates given between 15,000 and 32,000 people killed. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
Now, I think it's that but I'm just going to think about this. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
OK, I'm just going to go for the Wars of the Roses. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
You're right. The Wars of the Roses. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Pete, I'm afraid you're out of the final round. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
So the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
The Eggheads have lost no brains. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
Next subject Arts & Books. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
-Which of you wants to play that round? -It's got to be Sarah. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
-It's got to be me. -Sarah for Arts and Books. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
Arts & Books specialist. This will be even longer. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Sarah, the social worker, against which Egghead? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
I'm drawn to Chris. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-Everyone's drawn to Chris in this round. -Are they? | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
So Sarah from the Carebears against Chris from the Eggheads, please take your position in the question room. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
So I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-Sarah, they're multiple choice, do you want the first or second set? -I'll go first, please. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
What does an actor do when he or she improvises to fill up time? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:21 | |
I think corpse and dry mean pretty much the same thing, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
so I'm going to go for ad-lib. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
That's right, well done. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Chris, what term is often applied to prominent Western European painters | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
who worked between 1400 and 1900? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
They'd be old masters. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
They do indeed be old masters, well done. One all, back to you Sarah. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
The author Simon Scarrow is best known for his work in which genre? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
I've never heard of him so it's going to have | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
to be a guess. Simon Scarrow... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
I'm drawn to historical fiction, I think I'll plump for that. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
Nice one, you're right. The ability to guess correctly | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
is very important in this game. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Chris, for what does the letter G stand | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
in the name of the author, GK Chesterton? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
He's Gilbert Keith Chesterton, so it's Gilbert. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
You're right too, well done. 2-all. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Sprinting along here. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
Sarah, which decorative arts technique using enamel paste takes | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
its name from a French word meaning compartments or partitions? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
The only one of those I recognise is Cloisonne. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
And that kind of rings a bell. I think maybe they use it | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
in those Faberge egg-type designs, so I'm going for that. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
You social workers are playing well. You're quite right. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
This is one sharp team, the Carebears. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
The cuddly title is completely misleading. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Chris, if you don't get this right you're gone. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
Who wrote the 2008 novel The Enchantress Of Florence? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
I don't think Salman Rushdie has got anything out at the moment. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
It's some time since Captain Corelli's Mandolin, | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
he's had time to write another novel and he does tend to set his stuff | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
sort of south Europe, so I'll say Louis de Bernieres. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
Louis de Bernieres is the wrong answer. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
It's Salman Rushdie. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-You knew that, Judith, I could see you nodding? -Yes. -Have you read it? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
No, I was wondering whether to. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
Well done, Sarah. Brilliant play. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
You took on the Egghead, Chris, and you won. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
So Chris doesn't play in the final round and you do. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Great stuff, Challengers. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Do please come back and rejoin us in the studio. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
The Challengers and the Eggheads have each lost one brain from the final round. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
-Our next subject is Sport. Have you got a plan on Sport? -Oh, yes. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
-Myself on Sport. -Steve on Sport. Who looks vulnerable? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
I'm not going to fall for the trap of going for Daphne, | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
so it's going to have to be Judith. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
So it's Steve from the Carebears against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
To ensure there's no conferring please take your position in the question room. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
I said the word "Sport" and it was you straight away? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
I think I was nominated, on some sports I'm quite good at. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
There's one or two others I'm weak on, but hopefully they won't come up. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
You've chosen Judith, her knees are knocking. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
Do you want the first or second set of questions? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
I'll take the first, please. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Steve, in which sport are you most likely | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
to incur a ban for excessive use of the whip? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
I think you've seen a few things in the boxing ring | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
but not anyone using a whip. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Again, I'm a big horse racing fan, so I think luckily that's come up. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
It's horse racing. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Yes, it is horse racing. Correct. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Judith, your question. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
Which cricketer announced his retirement | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
from the England team in March 2008? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
I don't think it's Michael Vaughan. I think he's still going strong, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
and Andrew Flintoff, so I suppose it's Marcus Trescothick. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
Good stuff, Judith. Well done, first point to you. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Do you feel good about that? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-I do, I feel very good. -Steve, which offence is signalled in rugby league | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
by the referee raising his arm to indicate a penalty and tapping his mouth with the other hand? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
I would've thought with tapping the mouth it would probably be dissent. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
Something they probably should use in football as well. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
I wouldn't have thought it was offside. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I wouldn't have thought it was obstruction, so I'll go be dissent. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
Good logic and you're quite right. It is dissent. Well done. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
You're ahead. So, Judith, you need this to keep up. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
Which snooker player became the first number one when the world | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
rankings were introduced in 1976? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
I don't know why but Dennis Taylor is twanging something in my mind. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
-Dennis Taylor. -What was he twanging exactly? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
I hope a memory. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
It's Ray Reardon, Judith. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Oh, no. That was the one I thought definitely wasn't. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Wrong kind of twang. So this for the round. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
To put your team ahead of the Eggheads, Steve. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
What is the nickname | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
of Scottish former darts world champion Les Wallace? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
I'm afraid I am not a darts fan, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
but with the surname Wallace, probably Bravedart? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-Eggheads, do you know this one? -Yes, in the usual | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
creative way that they have with nicknames it's McDanger. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
It is McDanger. You're wrong, Steve. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
If you were just guessing with no knowledge, as I would have been, I would have said Bravedart. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
Judith, the footballer Michael Essien represents which country | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
in international football? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Essien... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
I'm just trying to think whether it's Nigerian, Moroccan or Ghanaian. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
Essien. I think it might be Moroccan, I don't know why. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
Try Morocco. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-You're obviously not a Chelsea fan? -No. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
The team he plays for. It's Ghana. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-Oh, is it? -Michael Essien, Chelsea player, represents Ghana. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
So that means at the end of our multiple choice question | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Steve, you've got more points. Well done, you will join your team in the final round. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
Both of you come back here and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
So as it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
while the Eggheads have lost two. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
The last subject is Music. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
Which challenger wants Music? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
We can't have Pete or Sarah or Steve. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
I think Jenny. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
-Jenny on Music? -Yes, I'll try. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
OK, who do you want to go against, Jenny. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
-What do you think, guys? -No Chris, CJ or Judith. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
It's tricky. It is. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
I think you should choose Kevin. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-I like the colour of his shirt. -Really nice shirt. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
Kevin can stumble. It happened, I think, a few years ago! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:09 | |
Good luck. Jenny from our Carebears against Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:16 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question rooms now. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-Good luck, Jenny. -Thank you. -Are you feeling OK? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-Your team's doing well. -They're doing brilliantly. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
Three multiple choice questions, Jenny, you can choose first or second set. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
I'd like to go first please, Jeremy. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Jenny, what name is given to the area of a theatre | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
where the orchestra is located? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
Classical music, not being my forte. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
This is going to be - | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
it has to be - pit. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Good for you, you've got it right. The orchestra pit. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
Kevin, the Yorkshireman John Barry is particularly well known | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
for composing what kind of music? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
One of my favourites actually, I've got quite a few of his collections. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
Film scores. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Yes, John Barry was film scores. Back to you, Jenny. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Which band had a 1979 UK hit single with the song My Sharona? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:28 | |
Again this has to be... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
..a random guess. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
I am going to go... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
..for... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
I'm going to go The Art. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Let's see if your fellow Carebears know? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
-Who was it? -It's The Knack. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Yeah, The Knack. They only really had that one record, didn't they? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-Not that I'm old enough to... -I remember it! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
It was The Knack, My Sharona. Kevin, which British classical singer was | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
discovered while singing arias to his colleagues on the factory floor | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
when he was a trainee mechanic? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
I don't think... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
Bryn Terfel is a classically trained singer in that sense. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Paul Potts I think worked in some kind of office environment, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
or something to do with computer sales, or telesales. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
But I think I associate | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
a manual occupation with Alfie Boe. So Alfie Boe. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
..is the correct answer, Kevin, well done. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
Jenny, you need this to stay in the game. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
A bronze statue of which British composer was unveiled | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
in his birthplace of Cheltenham in April 2008? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
Again...mmm | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
I will have to go... | 0:21:15 | 0:21:21 | |
for a guess. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
Sorry, guys. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
I'm going to go for Ralph Vaughan Williams. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
You have been unlucky with your guessing. That was the wrong answer. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
It's Gustav Holst, Eggheads. He's British was he? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
I was in the Gustav Holst museum | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
less than a couple of weeks ago, in Cheltenham. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Kevin, you take the round. There's no way back for Jenny | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
from this position. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
Sorry, Jenny ,you can't be in the final round. Kevin will be. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
You were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
Do please rejoin your team-mates. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
Bad luck Jenny, it's tough against this lot. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
To make it worse CJ is gonna give us his fact on Holst. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
One of the few trivial things I know about Holst was when he was | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
already established in the 1920s he was doing a tour of the country | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
conducting different orchestras. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
He went to a girls school and one of the violinists in the girls school | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
was Celia Johnson, who went on to star in Brief Encounter. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
This is what we've been playing towards, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
not the fact that CJ just gave us but the final round. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
Final round time, which as always is General Knowledge. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Those who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
so that's Jenny and Pete from the Carebears, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
and Judith and Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Please can you leave the studio. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
So here we all are, Steve, Sarah and Rick | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
you're playing to win the Carebears £11,000. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
Carebears, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:05 | |
Steve, Sarah and Rick, would you like the first | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
or second set of questions? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
-Good luck, by the way. -Thank you. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:11 | |
I think we'll carry on going first. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Here we go with the final round. Your first question: | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
At which UK airport did Terminal 5 open in 2008? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-Is this the one where all the delays... -Yeah. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
It's been in the news a lot recently. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-Heathrow, wasn't it? -Heathrow? | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
It was Heathrow Terminal 5. Well done. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
Eggheads, what is usually missing on true Manx cats? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
That's the tail, Jeremy. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
The tail is missing on a true Manx cat. Yeah. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Your question, Carebears. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
Who was appointed to the newly created position | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
of Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, in 2007? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
We should know this, shouldn't we? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
We should know this in the job we do. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-Is this your area? -We work in children, families and schools, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
so... | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
It's not Ed Balls, is it? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Because he's something else. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
I haven't heard of John Denham but I've heard of the other two. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
I've never heard anything about the Minister for Children... | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
Schools and whatever it was. That's my instinct, to go for John Denham. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:35 | |
I think so. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
I think this is going to be a major embarrassment if we get it wrong, | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
in the job we do... | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
but I think we're agreed on... We'll try John Denham. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
OK, the despair behind you on the screen here! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
It's not right. It's Ed Balls. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Is he responsible for social workers or not? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
He is, isn't he? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:02 | |
-Kind of. -He would do, yes. -Don't have much to do with... | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Maybe he's not doing enough work. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-Perhaps he should come and visit. -It must be his fault, not yours. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Oh, dear, that could be very expensive for you. Let's see. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
Eggheads, members of which tribal group were granted permission | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
to run without numbers in the 2008 London Marathon? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
Members of which tribal group were granted permission | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
to run without numbers in the 2008 London Marathon? | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
It's the lovely Masai and they ran in flip-flops didn't they? | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
Yes, it was great. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-Is that your answer, Masai? -Yes. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
It's right. Well done. If you get this question | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
wrong, Carebears, then the contest will be over. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
The first astronaut from which country | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
made her journey into space in April 2008? | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
Anyone got any ideas on astronauts? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
There was definitely... At some point this year | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
there's definitely been the first South Korean in space. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
Let's go for that then. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:18 | |
But I don't know whether it was a woman, a man or what. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
I wouldn't know about the other countries either. So... | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
That's the only way we're going to get to an answer. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
That's the biggest hints we've got towards an answer. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
-We should go with that. -Well, we'll go for South Korea. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
-You're right. -Phew! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
You're right. Great answer. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Well done, Rick. The South Korean connection was in your mind? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Yes, I... Something in there, I'd heard South Korea | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
had their first astronaut in space. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
OK. Eggheads, let's see if you can get this. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
If you do get it, the contest is yours, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
the money rolls over, our Carebears become a little bit care worn. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:13 | |
What was a gallowglass in ancient Ireland? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
It was a mercenary. Foot soldier. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
It's a foot soldier. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
What was a gallowglass in ancient Ireland? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
You know with that last remark you made us sound really... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
you know... But unfortunately, we know it's a foot soldier. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
So you mean, if you got this right | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
-you'll feel bad that they get nothing? -Yes. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
You have got it right and they do get nothing. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
Gallowglass, guys, would you have got that? Foot soldier? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
No. It would have been a guess. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Some hard questions today and you played really well. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Commiserations to our Carebears. The Eggheads have | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
done what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
Daphne even claiming to feel guilty today. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
I'm not claiming - it's true! | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Well, just to rub it in, they won't be going home with their £11,000, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
so that money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
A very strong performance today. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
to defeat the Eggheads. £12,000 says they don't. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:35 | |
