These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 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 five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
You might just recognise them | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are Act One. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
The team know one another | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
through Cardiff University's drama group. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
they've won their local pub quiz so many times, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
I'm told, they get booed by the opposition. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm Rhys. I'm 22, and training to be a croupier. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Frances. I'm 22, and a children's holiday monitor. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi, I'm Pete. I'm 27, and I'm a transition administrator. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 27, and a corporate services manager. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Hi, I'm Peter, I'm 28. I'm an engineering student. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
So, Rhys, you go in the pub to play, and everyone starts catcalling. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Yes, we did have to change our name on the eighth occasion, I think. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
There were several "boos" going out through the pub, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
when our name was called out. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-So acting brings you together... -Correct, yes. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
..but I know that you are a trainee croupier. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-That's right. -Meaning what? -Well, basically, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
dealing in a casino, roulette, blackjack, stud card poker, etc. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
So you've got the gambler as your captain, team, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-is that a good idea? -ALL: Possibly not! -Let's see! | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
Every day there's a thousand pounds worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
for our challengers. But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
So, Act One, the Eggheads have won the last seven games, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
which means £8,000 | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
says you can't beat the Eggheads! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Challengers, which one of you wants to take this? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-Fran, do you want this? -Yeah, I'll take that one. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Fran thinks she's got the skills. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Fran, and which Egghead looks shaky on the literary side? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
CJ! | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
We'd like CJ, please. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
OK. So it's Fran from Act One versus CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
No conferring, so please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-So Fran, good luck here. -Thank you. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
You've chosen well - CJ's had some bad moments on Arts & Books. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
And, I have to ask, what's the tiara for? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
It's for my goddaughter because I'm her fairy godmother. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
If you tip your head down slightly we can all see it. Aah! | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-What's her name? -Lulu. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
OK, this is for Lulu if you win. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Fran, your choice, the first set of questions or the second set? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
I'll go first, please. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
Fran, which words follow "The Cat" | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
in the title of a famous children's book by Dr Seuss? Is it... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
It is, of course, In The Hat. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
The Cat In The Hat is the correct answer. Well done! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
CJ, which term means to cover an art canvas | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
with a very watery, and thin, coat of colour? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
You mentioned I was having a bit of a hard time on Arts & Books | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
but you never actually mentioned the result of those rounds, Jeremy. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Well, the result was that you needed about ten hours' counselling. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-And I won! -And you won. OK, you won, that's true. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
In that case, let's get this off to a winning start, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
and hopefully get the right answer with "wash". | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Well done, wash is correct, CJ. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Don't worry, Frances, he's just putting it on. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
The 1995 novel, American Tabloid, about the assassination of JFK, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
is by which author? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I don't recognise any of the names | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
at all to even, kind of, work it out. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
Stab in the dark...James Ellroy? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Stab in the dark is quite right, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
James Ellroy is correct. Well done! | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
CJ, Adonais is an elegy written on the death of which poet? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
You're not going to give me a date. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Thank you so much(!) | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
You love poetry, we know that(!) | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Absolutely no idea. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
I can't stand poetry, I know nothing about it. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
I don't read it, don't like it, bores me to tears. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Byron! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
No! Keats. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Over to you, Fran. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Which artist painted the Feast In The House Of Levi, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
which was castigated by the Catholic Church for including | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
buffoons, drunkards, dwarves, Germans and similar vulgarities. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Of all, El Greco jumps out at me. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Not sure if that's cos I've heard of it, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
or it's the right answer, but I'm going to go with El Greco. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
El Greco is your answer. Eggheads, is she right? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-ALL: No, Veronese! -Veronese. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
So, sorry Fran, wrong answer. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
CJ, you have a chance to come back. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
But you do need this question, or you are out. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
The Recruiting Officer, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
and the Beaux Strategem, are works by which writer? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
I don't know the Beaux' Stratagem, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
but The Recruiting Officer I think is Farquhar, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
but let me have a moment. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
Yeah, I think The Recruiting Officer is George Farquhar. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yes. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
And it's correct, CJ, well done. Good play, you came back. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
So neck and neck after multiple choice. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
We now make it slightly harder, we go to Sudden Death. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Fran, who wrote Under The Volcano, a semi-autobiographical novel | 0:06:26 | 0:06:32 | |
about an alcoholic British ex-consul in Mexico? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
It's another one I've heard of and I can't think of it, | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
my mind's gone completely blank. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
No, sorry, I've got to pass. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
OK, Eggheads? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
-ALL: Malcolm Lowry. -Malcolm Lowry's right. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Malcolm Lowry. So, to you, CJ. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
The Chrysalids, and The Midwich Cuckoos, | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
are books by which British writer, CJ? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
His most famous was Day Of The Triffids, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-it's John Wyndham. -You're right. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Well done! | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
After that you do take the round. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Fran, you were beaten by our Egghead, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
so you can't help your team in the final round. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Bad luck. Please now both come back, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
and take your positions here. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
As it stands, the challengers | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
The Eggheads have lost no brains. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
The next subject is Geography. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
Which is the geographer | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
among the actors? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-Peter, in the green. -Peter in green, OK. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
Engineering student. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Which is the non-geographer, do you think, among the Eggheads? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
I think Judith, yes. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
Judith then, please. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
That's a lovely change. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Nice, you don't get that often, do you? -No. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
So, Peter from Act One versus Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
To ensure no conferring, please go to the Question Room. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Peter, tell me if you want the first, or second, set of questions. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
The first set, please. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
Here's your first question. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Dublin Bay, on which the city of Dublin stands, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
is located on which body of water? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
The Irish Sea. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Wow! That was so sudden! | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
You don't want more time to think? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
I'm pretty sure. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
That's good, yeah, you're right. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Correct, Irish Sea. Judith, | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
which English tourist attraction is visible from the A303? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
Well, the A303 goes westwards through Wiltshire, etc, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
so it is Stonehenge. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
Stonehenge is correct, yeah. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-I drive past it all the time. -Yes, me too. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
All right, Peter, a sink- or swallowhole, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
is a characteristic feature of what kind of landscape? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
It's where the water erodes the rock | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
around the cracks in...limestone. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
You are right. Well done! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
The engineering mind at work there! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Serving you well. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
Judith, the Rastro Flea Market is located in which city? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
I've never been to any of those cities. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Never been to Madrid, or Prague, or Oslo. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Rastro. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
It doesn't...could be Spanish, because it has an "o" at the end? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
Where's likely to have a flea market? I'm going to go for Madrid. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
It is Madrid, well done. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
Phew! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Two points each, tight game. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Peter, Muscat is the capital of which country? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
I think... | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
..I think it's Oman. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Why do you think that? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
I'm hoping it's emerging from the depths of my memory, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
but I'm not very confident! | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Team mates, has he got it right? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
ALL: It is Oman. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
It is Oman. Three out of three! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Lucky guess! | 0:10:18 | 0:10:19 | |
Judith, if you get this wrong | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
then you are, very sadly, a goner. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
In which country is Lake Disappointment located? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
I'm moving away from Ireland. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
There aren't a lot of lakes in Australia, I don't think, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
because it is notably dry. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
I think, maybe, Canada. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-That's your answer? -Yes. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
It's Australia, Canada is incorrect. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
Peter, you have taken on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant! | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
Well done. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Act One, how about that? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
You can come and play in today's final round. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Both of you please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
The Eggheads and the challengers | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
have each lost one brain from the final round. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Next subject is Film & Television. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
How do you feel about that? I think probably good! | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
You sound really uncertain, Rhys. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
We've got a decision...who to play? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
It's Kim, Pete or Rhys. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
We're going to go with Kim. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-Kim, corporate services manager. -That's me! | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
And which of this lot? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-I'll take on Daphne. -OK. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
So, Daphne, from the Eggheads, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
versus Kim from Act One. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
No conferring, so please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Kim, would you like the first or second set of questions? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
I think I'll follow the others and go first, please. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Kim, long-running TV series, Z Cars, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
centred on characters in what type of job? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
I'm glad it's that question rather than details about characters. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
It's police officers. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Quite right, it is. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
Your first answer correct. Well done. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Daphne, "wax on, wax off," is a phrase from which film of the 1980s? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
I don't know. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
You've seen that look of "I don't know." | 0:12:24 | 0:12:30 | |
Um, Flashdance? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
Wrong, Daphne. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
It's The Karate Kid. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Is it? Well! -Back to you, Kim. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Fran, you were doing | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
an illustration of The Karate Kid? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:45 | |
Yeah! Wax on, wax off! | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
What is "wax on, wax off"? | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
It's waxing a car! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Waxing a car, so that later in the film The Karate Kid | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
can use it to karate chop some baddies. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Right, OK, here's your question. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Which animated film featured the voices of Ellen DeGeneres as Dory, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
and Geoffrey Rush as a pelican called Nigel? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
All fantastic films, but they provided the voices for Finding Nemo. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:19 | |
Finding Nemo is absolutely right. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Two points to you. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Daphne, next question. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
Who is the presenter of the TV programme, Through The Keyhole? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
I saw it absolutely ages ago and it was David Frost then | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
so I hope he hasn't moved! | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
He hasn't moved, it's still him. Well done! | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
Third question to you now, Kim. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Get this right and you've taken the round. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Which comedian starred as the bookshop owner, Bernard, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
in the TV comedy, Black Books? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
I used to live with a guy in the university | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
who was addicted to Black Books, and I think it's Dylan Moran. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
Superb play from Act One, you're right! | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Three questions right, and so, Daphne, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
you can't come back, so I won't even give you your third question. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
Well done, Kim, you took on an Egghead and you emerged triumphant. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
That's great news for Act One, as you can join us in the final round. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
So please, both of you, return to the studio and join your teams. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
the Eggheads have lost two brains. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Our last subject is Sport. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
Which challenger wants Sport? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Have you got a sport person there? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
-We should probably go with Rhys here. -We're glad it's come up. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
I think I'm going to have to take on Sport. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Rhys, you can have Chris or Kevin. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
I think I'm going to take on Chris. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
You fool! | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
He's in a bit of a mood about sport these days! | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Rhys from Act One versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Great contest, this. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
Rhys, you can choose the first or second set. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
First has served us well so far, so I'll continue that trend. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
Here we go. Rhys, footballer Kevin Phillips scored | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
115 times in 209 league appearances over six years with which club? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:39 | |
I'm pretty sure on this one. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
It's Sunderland. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
You are right! | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Chris, here's your first question. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Who announced his retirement from rowing in 1996 saying that | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
anyone who saw him near a boat had his permission to shoot him? | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
Pinsent and Redgrave both went on | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
to win gold in 2000 at the Olympics, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
so that wouldn't be them. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
It must have been James Cracknell. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
Ohhh! | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
That strangulated cry you heard was CJ, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
because it's Steve Redgrave. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Presumably changed his mind did he, CJ? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
He did! | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
OK. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
Your second question now, Rhys. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Mike "Stevo" Stephenson commentates on which sport? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:35 | |
I'm going to rule out cricket first, because I'm sure it's not that. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
I listen to a lot of Rugby League on TV, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
and I'm not sure about the commentators on that. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:55 | |
Swimming, on the other hand, is quite tempting. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
I'm going to go with... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
..swimming. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Swimming is wrong. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
It's Rugby League. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
Chris, over to you. Here's your next question. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
On a traditional dartboard, the 3 sits | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
immediately between the 19 and which other number? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Well, straight down the middle, 13. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Any darts players among our Eggheads? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
Kevin, you used to play? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
-Yeah, 17. -17 is the answer. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Chris, you're wrong. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:38 | |
Rhys, your next question. The Grand Match is a competition | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
between participants from North and South Scotland in which sport? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
Well, Scotland's famous for curling, I know that. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Don't think it's golf, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
I don't know why they'd divide north and south on that. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
I'm going to go with... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
shinty. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
Shinty is wrong. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:13 | |
It's curling. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
Chris, over to you. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Brett Favre was the star quarterback | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
of which American football team from 1992 to 2008? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
Bit of detective work going on here. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Brett Favre sounds like he might be of French extraction, | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
which means he comes from somewhere up by Canada. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
And of those three teams, the one that was most successful | 0:18:42 | 0:18:48 | |
in the period under discussion... | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Denver Broncos, apparently a bit of a joke. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
The Minnesota Vikings, I don't think have won much really | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
so I'll say that he was with the Green Bay Packers. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Great logic, well done! Green Bay Packers is correct. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
Where in the country is Green Bay? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Top end of Wisconsin. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
So the geography logic was great. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
Well done, Chris. One point each. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
We're moving now to Sudden Death, so, here we go. Rhys, Liang Wenbo | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
is a rising star in which sport? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
It's spelt W-E-N-B-O. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
I think it's snooker. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Snooker's right. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Well done! Chris, pressure on you. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
The football team SL Benfica is based in which European city? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
Portuguese... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Not Porto...Lisbon! | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
Yeah! Lisbon is right, and the "L" in SL stands for Lisbon. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
Still neck and neck. Over to you, Rhys. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Who came second in the 2007 | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
Second...who won it? | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Joe Calzaghe won it, I think. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Lewis Hamilton was up there. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Correct! | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
-Correct! -Dear me! -Well done! | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
He was favourite to win for a long time. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
You're right to mention Joe Calzaghe, cos he won it. Well done. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
Chris, your question. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
Which British skier, who was disqualified from the combined event | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
at the 2006 Winter Olympics because her skis were too narrow, | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
is named after Sophia Loren's character in the film El Cid? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
Glorianna Shufflewick! | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-No, the answer's not Glorianna Shufflewick, it's Chemmy Alcott. -Oh. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:06 | |
On the tip of your tongue, I know! | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-Well done to Rhys! -Well done, OK. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
A bruising Sports round! | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
Well done, Rhys. You took on one of those Eggheads, | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
you emerged triumphant, it was not easily done. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Please both rejoin your teams here in the studio. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
But those of you who lost | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
So, that's Frances from Act One - Fran, | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
and Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
You've done really well, Act One. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
Please all leave the studio. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Rhys, Pete, Kim and Peter, you're playing to win Act One £8,000. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
Good luck. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
The questions are all general knowledge, | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Act One, the question is - | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
And would you like to go first or second? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-First, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
I think we'll continue the trend, Jeremy. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
You're going first. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
Best of luck, Act One, here we go. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Which Latin phrase literally means, "There is truth in wine"? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Yeah, vino means wine, so, happy with that? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
Yeah, we'll go for, "In vino veritas." | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Quite right, well done. First point. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Don't want to trip up on that one! | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Eggheads, which acronym refers to the American tax collection service? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
Do you want my help on that? Go on, then. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Well, you certainly wouldn't want the third one involved on your case! | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
It's the IRS, Internal Revenue Service. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Absolutely right, well done. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:07 | |
One each. Back to you guys. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
The popular country music show known as the Grand Ole Opry | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
has, since 1925, been broadcast from which American city? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
-Nashville. -Nashville. Yes, definitely, 100% Nashville. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
Kim is 100% on that one! | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
It's Nashville, Tennessee. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
-Well done, Kim! -Thank you. -Have you been there? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
-No, no, no. -You just know! -Yeah, I just know. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
You're right. 2-1. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
Next question is for the Eggheads. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Who was the first member of the England 1966 World Cup squad | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
to be given a knighthood? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Who was the first member of the England 1966 World Cup Squad | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
to be given a knighthood? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Bobby Charlton and Geoff Hurst got them, didn't they? | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
-Well, Geoff Hurst certainly did. -Yeah. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
-But it was quite late. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
Sir Bobby Charlton | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-has got a knighthood, I'm sure. -Yeah. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Yeah, he has. -I can't record Bobby Moore ever getting one. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
When did he die? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
I'm sure Daphne knows this as well. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
I think I'll have to go with Charlton. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
-I think so, yeah. -Yeah, shall we? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:29 | |
Sorry, not today. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:30 | |
We just can't think of it, so we'll go with Bobby Charlton. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
It was Bobby Charlton, got it right! | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
The next question is for Act One. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
"In my younger, and more vulnerable, years my father gave me some advice | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
"that I've been turning over in my mind ever since," | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
is the opening line of which 1925 novel? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
"In my younger, and more vulnerable, years my father gave me some advice | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
"that I've been turning over in my mind ever since," | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
is the opening line of which 1925 novel? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
Before the options came up, I thought The Great Gatsby? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
Mrs Dalloway was much earlier, I think. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
It's exactly the right time. The Great Gatsby. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Are you happy to go with that? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Yeah, The Great Gatsby. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
-Is the correct answer. -Whoa! -Very nice! | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
All right, you've got three out of three. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
You are playing very, very well. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
If the Eggheads get this wrong, you're going to win £8,000. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
You won't have to do any more work today! | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
Eggheads, during Bill and Hilary Clinton's visit to London in 1997, | 0:25:34 | 0:25:42 | |
Tony and Cherie Blair chose to take them to which restaurant, | 0:25:42 | 0:25:48 | |
instead of holding a formal banquet? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
You get this wrong, | 0:25:56 | 0:25:57 | |
and the challengers have won £8,000. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
As far as I know, The River Cafe doesn't have any private rooms. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
I've eaten there. It could do, but I'm not aware of it. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
The Ivy probably has private rooms upstairs, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
not in the downstairs restaurant. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
And I know nothing about LePont de la Tour. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
If we're looking at Tony and Cherie being the hip, young, new couple, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
then The River Cafe is more of that image rather than The Ivy. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
But, The Ivy, certainly at that time, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
was by far the most established, most famous restaurant, I'd say. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
I'm inclined to The River Cafe. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Fine! OK! | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
1997 was when the Blairs had just come in. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
This idea of the trendy couples, young, hip, that sort of thing. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:45 | |
The Ivy may be a bit more stuffy? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Well, it's certainly that sort of place, yeah. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
So, ultimately it's a pure guess. We'll say The River Cafe. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
OK. The River Cafe is your answer? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Something you didn't know about one of these restaurants | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
is that it's on the banks of the Thames, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
and it has a stunning view down the Thames | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
which includes the Houses of Parliament. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
and that's why Tony and Cherie Blair took Bill and Hilary | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
to LePont de la Tour! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Well done! | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Challengers, you just won £8,000. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Congratulations! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
That is huge! | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
How does that feel? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
ALL: Excellent! | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
-Really well done! -Did not expect that at all! | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
Wouldn't have got that question. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
The game went backwards and forwards, | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
and you looked as if you were down and out for a while. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
What are you going to do with the money? | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Pay off some student debts! | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
-Sure, that's a big part of life, right? -Yeah. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
Congratulations then, you've won £8,000. Brilliant play! | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
Well done! Eggheads, commiserations. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
Great to see you in the studio, Act One. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
at least for the time being! | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
You've proved they can definitely be beaten. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
Join us next time on Eggheads to see | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
if the new team of challengers will be just as successful. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
Until then, after all this excitement, goodbye! | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
