These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
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? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
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 recognise them as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
are the White Helmets. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
The team are all serving soldiers in the British Army | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
and form part of the Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi, I'm Ted, I'm 27 and I'm team captain of the Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 35 and I'm team sergeant of the White Helmets. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, I'm Tom, 22 and I'm a display rider for the White Helmets. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hi, I'm Si, I'm 27 and I'm a display rider for the White Helmets. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Hi, I'm Mick, I'm 28 and I'm a display rider for the White Helmets. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
So, welcome, White Helmets. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-And you're all riders? -Indeed, yeah. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
-And you go in formation? -Yes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
So, what kind of formations do you do? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
We've got a number, but probably the one that's most famous | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
and stereotypical of the White Helmets | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
is what we call the six bike fan. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Six motorcycles with 22 people in a pyramid formation on top. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Wow! And you all do that, do you? -Yes. -Has it ever fallen over? | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
Yeah, accidents do happen and yeah, we've come off a couple of times | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
but we do quite a lot of training | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
during the winter period at the beginning | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
-of the year and hopefully iron out any major dramas that we have. -Sure. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
And you do the fire stunt as well? | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Do you go through a ring of fire? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
No, basically it's a U-shape frame | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
and everyone goes through it, everyone has to go through it | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
during their time with the team | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
but it's not as bad as it looks, really. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-Is this more scary? -Yeah, I think so, yeah. -THEY CHUCKLE | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Good luck. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
So, White Helmets, the Eggheads have won the last nine games, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
which means £10,000, rather a nice figure, says you can't beat them. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
I wish you all the best. The first head-to-head battle | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
will be on the subject of Film And Television. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Who's the film buff? | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
I think it's Si, isn't it? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
I think we'll go with Si. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
OK, Si kid against... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Judith. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
Judith? That was said with such certainty. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
We're not used to that. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
All right, so it's Si from the White Helmets | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
going through the U-shaped thing of fire | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
against Judith from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
So, Si, you just do display riding, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
or you're a soldier most of the time or what? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Well, we do a three-year tour with the White Helmets, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
so the display riding takes over for three years and after that we go back to a working unit in the Army. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
And you go back to the Royal Signals? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
I should do, but at the moment I am trying to recap badge to a pilot in the Army Air Corps. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
OK. Well, good luck with that and this as well. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
You're playing Judith on Film And TV. Three multiple choice questions | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
and I'll ask you whether you want the first or the second set. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
I think I'll go second. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Here we go, Judith. Anthony Minghella won a Best Director Oscar | 0:03:34 | 0:03:40 | |
for which 1996 film? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
I'm just wondering if The English Patient was that long ago. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
Erm...I mean, that's 12 years... Oh, it's not that long ago. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
I think The English Patient. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
Is correct, well done, Judith. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Over to you, Si. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Which relative of Indiana Jones famously features in the 1989 film | 0:04:05 | 0:04:11 | |
Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
I think it's Sean Connery playing his father. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
You're quite right...it is. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
Judith, over to you. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Which actress appeared in the films | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Gosford Park, Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and Sister Act? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
Well, I know Maggie Smith was in Gosford Park, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
and I don't think Judi Dench was or Glenda Jackson. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
I think it's Maggie Smith. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
I know she was in one of the others | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
and I'm not sure about the third, but I think it's Maggie Smith. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
And you're right. It was Maggie Smith, well done. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Over to you, Si. Keep the pressure on now. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
What was the name of the character | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
played by Joan Collins in the TV series Dynasty? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
I'm not too sure but if I was going to go for one, I'd go for Alexis. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yes, it is. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
Probably before you were born this, was it? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
Yeah, I think so. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
But you're right. Well done. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Two apiece. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
OK, Judith, | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
what was the name of the first Blue Peter cat | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
who first appeared on the show in 1964? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
Oh, God! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Funnily enough, I didn't used to watch it in those days. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I'm much younger than I look. SHE LAUGHS | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Was Jason the dog? Willow... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
Jason sounds a bit too sort of tough for a cat. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Willow or Smudge, Willow or Smudge...Smudge. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
It's Willow. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-It's Jason! -Oh, it's not! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
It was a very manly cat. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-It must have been. -Probably did some stunt motorcycling. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Sorry, Judith, so your chance now to take the round, Si, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
with this question. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Katharine Hepburn won one of her four Best Actress Oscars | 0:06:23 | 0:06:29 | |
for playing Ethel Thayer in which film? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
I haven't got a clue. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I would have to go for... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
On Golden Pond. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
I love the way that you seem not to know anything | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
and then you suddenly just go straight in | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
on the correct answer, because it is right. Well done. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
On Golden Pond. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Which means, Si, that you have taken on an Egghead | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
and emerged triumphant and, Judith, you know what I'm going to say. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-Yes, you don't need to. -You're not gonna play in the...? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Final round. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
Thank you, and, Si, you will be in the final round. Congratulations. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
Both of you please come back and rejoin your team mates. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
Challengers remain intact, they've lost no brains. The next subject is Arts And Books. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
Which one of you is reading... or painting? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-Tom, I think... -I think it's gonna have to be Tom. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-Take it on? -He's the most well-read. -He's the youngest team member at 22. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
And probably the person fullest | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
with just random information on these subjects. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
Now the tricky bit. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-Which one of these lot? -I'll take on CJ. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
CJ? OK. Tom from the White Helmets against CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
Take your positions, please. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
We'll ask each of your three questions on Arts And Books in turn. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-Tom, you can choose the first or the second set? -I'll go first, please. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
Tom, what is the term for an introductory speech or poem | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
addressed to the audience by one of the actors in a play? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
That would be prologue, Jeremy. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Straight in there, and you're quite right, yeah, well done. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
CJ, Shakespeare's plays are commonly split into three groups, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
comedies, tragedies and what? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
They're the histories. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
They are the histories, CJ, well done. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
One apiece. Back to you, Tom. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
In which decade of the 20th century | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
did the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso die? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
I believe he snuffed it in the '70s. That's right. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-You don't hang about, do you? -I remember that one. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
It was on a plaque in an airport in Malaga. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-Pablo Picasso International Airport. -You're a quizzer. You're right. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
We're impressed. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
CJ, Mystic River, Shutter Island | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
and Gone Baby Gone are novels by which American author? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Of course I know the films Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
I've not seen them, of course, but I know the films. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
I'm just trying to think back to reading the reviews of them, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
if it actually mentioned... I can't remember back to Mystic River, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
but Gone Baby Gone was a reasonably recent film. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
I'm not gonna go for James Ellroy, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
so I'm gonna go for one of the other two. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
I'm gonna go for Dennis Lehane, please. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
And that is right. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
Well done. Two points each, both playing well. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Third question to you, Tom. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Which poet born in 1865 | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
had a brother called Jack who was a distinguished painter? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
I have to be honest, I honestly have no idea, so I'm gonna have | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
a guess and go for TS Eliot. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
It's like a missile, your guessing, | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
but it hit the wrong target this time. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
It's actually WB Yeats. Sorry, Tom. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
Still a chance here, though, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
if CJ gets this wrong. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
CJ, the Railroad Bridge at Argenteuil | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
is a work by which artist? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
I'm just trying to think. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
I'm not sure I know the painting | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
and I'm reasonably familiar with all three of those artists' works. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
They've got a lot of paintings in the National Gallery, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
a separate wing for them, so I go round and look at all their works. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Pissarro painted a lot of rural... sort of cultural scenes | 0:11:16 | 0:11:23 | |
and I'm not sure if it's Renoir's style. I'm gonna go for Monet. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
CJ, you're right. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
It is Monet. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
So with that... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
you take the round and, Tom, I'm sorry, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
you won't be playing in the final round because you're extremely knowledgeable. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
CJ, you will be. Do both of you come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
So as it stands, the Challengers and the Eggheads have lost one brain each from the final round. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
Our next subject is Sport. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Who wants Sport? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
It can't be Si or Tom. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
THEY CONFER We'll go with Andy. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
Andy on Sport against which Egghead? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Not CJ, not Judith. -Chris? | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
-Yeah. -Sure? THEY CONFER | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-Chris, I think. -So it's Andy from the White Helmets | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
against Chris from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
please take your positions in the question room. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Good luck in this round, both of you. Three questions on Sport, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
Chris's favourite subject. Andy, first or second set? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
I think I'll go first, please. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Andy, in what position did the former England Rugby Union Captain, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
Martin Johnson, play throughout his career? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Martin Johnson, definitely not the hooker. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
I'm sure he's lock, I'm sure he's a lock. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
He was a lock, well done. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Would you have got that, Chris? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Yeah, I was getting there actually. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Your question. James Bonecrusher Smith and James Lights Out Tony | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
are names associated with which sport? | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Well, the Bonecrusher was certainly a boxer | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
and Lights Out suggests a knock-out to me, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
so I'd say it would have to be boxing. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
It is boxing, well done. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
Over to you, Andy. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Which British jockey who rode a record nine Epsom Derby winners | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
was known as the Long Fellow? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Walter Swinburn, I don't know, only the other two I do. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
I think I'd go with the guy... | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Lester Piggott. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
-Is correct. -Whew! | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
Well done, Andy. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
Chris, your question. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
What is the most valuable football club in the world | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
according to Forbes Magazines 2008 Rich List? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
Well, football ceased to be a sport decades ago and became a business. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
Well, they're all pretty wealthy clubs... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
..but, I think in terms of assets owned and capital invested, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
it's got to be Manchester United. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Great logic, and you're right. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
You draw level. Well done. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
Andy... | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
who did Jana Novotna defeat | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
to win the 1998 Ladies' Singles title at Wimbledon? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
Zina and Lindsay are the only two I actually know. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
It will have to be a guess again. Erm...go on... | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
Lindsay Davenport. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
That's wrong. It's the one you hadn't heard of, actually. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
It's Natalie Tauziat. Not a particularly famous player. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
No. Both Zina Garrison and Natalie Tauziat reached | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
the final of Wimbledon, Zina in '94, Natalie in '98, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
and then Lindsay Davenport won it the year after in '99. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Thank you, CJ. Good facts. Your question, Chris. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Which 19-year-old New Zealander | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
hit more sixes on his test match debut in 2008 | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
than Don Bradman managed in his whole test career? | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
I think I actually read this a few days ago, amazingly enough, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
but I'm blowed if I can remember what his name was. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
I think it was Chris Martin. The name would have stuck | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
because it's the same name as myself. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
I don't think it's Tim Southee somehow, | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
it doesn't strike me as a particularly New Zealand name | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
so I'll try, with no great hope of success, Grant Elliott. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
How did you come to be reading this fact only a few days ago? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
Well, I do read the papers. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
I don't usually read anything in the sports section whatsoever, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
but I think this item did catch my eye for some reason. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
You didn't linger on it long enough, I'm afraid. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-It was Tim Southee. -Was it? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
So you're level, two points each. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
We go to Sudden Death. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
Bit harder now, Andy, because it's not multiple choice. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
Your first question. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Which British golfer came to prominence as a 17-year-old amateur | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
at the 1998 Open Championship holding a dramatic birdie | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
on the 18th hole to finish tied for 4th place? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
I can see him. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
I'm sure he's the one who wears the garish outfits, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
or he's got his own brand of golfing attire now. I'm sure it's him. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:46 | |
I'll have to pass on that. My mind's a blank. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
OK, it's Justin Rose. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-Justin Rose. -He's now the top ranked English player but he complained | 0:16:54 | 0:17:00 | |
that after he'd poled the putt and walked up to the golf house, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
all the young ladies, shall we say, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-in the crowd started pinching his bum. -And he complained? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-Mm. -Chris... | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
in 1987, the Bulgarian, Stefka Kostadinova, | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
set a long-standing world record in which athletics event? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:21 | |
Bulgarian, you say? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Bulgarian Stefka Kostadinova. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
What are Bulgarians good at? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Let's try the pole vault. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Well, it did involve going up a long distance, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
but it's not with the help of a pole. It's the high jump. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
She jumped 2.09 metres | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
and it's still the record today, 21 years on. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
Andy, your question. Sudden Death, remember. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
At which horseracing course | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
does the Golden Jubilee stakes take place each June? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Golden Jubilee... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
There's only a couple of horse-racing venues that I know. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
And I would have... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
Aintree, Ascot, erm... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Golden Jubilee... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
Aintree? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
What a shame. You've just gone 50/50 and you've gone the wrong way. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
It's Ascot. You were there with the As. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Never mind. It's not over yet. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Chris, your question. If you get this right you're in the final. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
The Stretford End and the Brian Statham End | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
are features of which English test cricket ground? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
Yeah! South Manchester used to be a stomping ground of mine | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
when I was small | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
and it is Old Trafford. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
It is indeed Old Trafford. Well done, Chris. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
You've won on Sudden Death. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
You've taken the round. You will appear in the final. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-Andy, I'm sorry, you won't. You've been beaten by an Egghead which I know is painful. -Yeah. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
Please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Well, as it stands, the Challengers | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
have lost two brains from the final round, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
Eggheads have lost one brain. Last subject is Music. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
Which of the Challengers wants to play in this round? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-It's going to be Mick. -Mick on Music against which Egghead? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-Daphne or...? -Erm... -Can't be Chris, CJ or Judith. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
I'll go for Daphne, please. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
OK. Mick from the White Helmets against Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
We will ask you three questions on Music in turn. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
You can choose, Mick, the first or second set? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
I'll go for the second set of questions, please. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Daphne, what was the name of the Spice Girls' debut single | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
which topped the UK charts in 1996? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
I think that was Wannabe. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Yes, yes? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
-It was. You've gotta sing it for us. -No! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-It's got that amazing... Judith, can you sing it? -Definitely not. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-It's girl power, though, isn't it? -Girl power. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
And you're the two girls here, so... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
-I can't sign either, like Daphne. -Are you not gonna try? -No. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Mick, your question. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
is the first line of a song from which musical? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
I don't think it's Mary Poppins, and I haven't seen Guys And Dolls. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
I think it's The Sound Of Music, so I'll go with The Sound Of Music. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Well done, you've got it right. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
The Sound Of Music, correct answer. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Daphne, which artist wrote the song Knocking On Heaven's Door in 1973? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
Gosh, I don't know. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Bob Dylan. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-You do know, don't you? -No. When you said that I thought, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
"Oh, it's Eric Clapton." It's obviously not. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
Yes, that was Tears From Heaven, wasn't it? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-Knocking On Heaven's Door is Bob Dylan. -Oh, phew! | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Mick, Nobody's Diary and Don't Go | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
were UK hit singles in the 1980s for which duo? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
I was only young in the 80s. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
You were five or something. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Around about that sort of age, yeah. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
I'll go for Yazoo. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
You've got the right answer, well done. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Your question now, Daphne. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
If you get this right, you put pressure on Mick. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
Daphne, which character did Michael Jackson play | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
in the 1978 film The Wiz? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
No idea. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Absolutely no idea whatsoever. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
I wonder if he'd be brave enough to be the scarecrow. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:23 | |
-I don't know! -Is that your answer? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
That is. I'm sorry, Jeremy. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Scarecrow is right, you've got it right. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
I just thought which was the most unlikely. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Your guess work is extraordinary as always. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Mick, you've got to get this right to stay in the final. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
What is the copyright period for recording music in the UK? | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
Again I've got no idea, but this is not something | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
I've researched on music. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
I haven't written that many songs myself. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
I would imagine that it's not gonna be that long. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
I'll go with 25 years. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
If you get this wrong you are out of the game... | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
and I'm afraid you have. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
It's 50 years. So, well done, Daphne. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Mick, you were beaten by our Egghead, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
as a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
Would you both please come back to the studio? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
So, this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
It's our final round, which as always is General Knowledge. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost won't be allowed to take part. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
So, that is Andy, Tom and Mick from the White Helmets and Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
We say goodbye to you. Please leave the studio. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
Well, Ted and Si, you're playing to win the White Helmets £10,000. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
Your three colleagues behind you can't play, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
they look as if they're in a motorcycle formation there, | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
as a matter of fact. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
You are allowed to confer, so, White Helmets, the question is, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
Ted and Si, you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
-First or second? -Second, I think. -We'll go second, please. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
So, Eggheads go first. Here we go. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Who set a world record on live TV in April 2008 | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
when he held his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4 seconds? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
We think that was David Blaine. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
It still wasn't long enough. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
David Blaine is the correct answer. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
First question for the White Helmets. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
In which nursery rhyme does the "dish run away with the spoon"? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
Hey Diddle Diddle, isn't it? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:04 | |
Yeah, I think we'll go for Hey Diddle Diddle. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Hey Diddle Diddle. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Said in a very manly way. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:12 | |
It is right. It is Hey Diddle Diddle. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
One point apiece. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Eggheads, can you keep up the momentum? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
In which part of the world was the ancient region of Venetia located? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
In which part of the world was the ancient region of Venetia located? | 0:25:28 | 0:25:34 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
It's in what's known as the Levant, the eastern end | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
of the Mediterranean, Lebanon, that way, so it's Middle East. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
Middle East is the correct answer, Kevin, well done to you, Eggheads. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
Second question to you, White Helmets. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
In May 2008, Scarlett Johansson | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
announced her engagement to which actor? | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Zac Efron is the guy from High School Musical, so I don't think it's him. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
I've never heard of Ryan Reynolds. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Ryan Reynolds played Van Wilder in Party Liaison | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
-and the guy from Blade Trinity. -Right. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
Between Josh and Ryan, then, isn't it? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
Yeah. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
I think it's more likely to be Josh Hartnett, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
because I can remember seeing some random tabloid of my wife's. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
I think we'll go for Josh Hartnett. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
You've gone for Josh Hartnett. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
I'm afraid it's Ryan Reynolds, wrong answer. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
Third question to you, Eggheads, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
and if you get this right, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
you've won the contest... | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
and the £10,000 is taken from our White Helmets. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
On an African safari, the term "big five" | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
refers to buffalo, elephants, lions, leopards and which other animal? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:59 | |
On an African safari, the term "big five" | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
refers to buffalo, elephants, lions, leopards and which other animal? | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
It's not the zebra. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
I always that it was giraffe. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-It's not zebra. -No. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Well, it can't be hippo, surely? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
I don't know it, but it's got to be surely rhino. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Hippos and zebra aren't game, surely? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
-No, and rhinoceros is. -Yeah. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
-Yeah. -Happy? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
They're fierce, as opposed to hippos, | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
which, unless you provoke them, are pretty placid. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Yeah, OK. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
Don't know it 100% but we think it must be rhinoceros, | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
so we're saying rhinoceros. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
It would have been harder if you'd had giraffe, would it? | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
Yeah. I thought it was giraffe. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
I didn't think they hunt giraffe. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Anyway, no giraffes and rhinoceros is correct, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
so, Eggheads, you have won the final round and the contest. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
Congratulations. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
That's the trouble with giving them the first go. They scooped it, they took your money. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
Commiserations, Challengers. They fought a good game. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
-They did, yep. -And you are still better motorcyclists than them. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
There's no doubt about that. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
But the Eggheads' winning streak continues. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £10,000, so that money rolls over | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Who will ever beat you? | 0:28:29 | 0:28:30 | |
Join us next time to see if the new Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
£11,000 will say they don't. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
