0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they are goliaths
0:00:33 > 0:00:35in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads and taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Abbey Revellers.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The team quiz each week at the Hog's Head pub in Omagh.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47They are usually friendly adversaries
0:00:47 > 0:00:52but have come together to take on the Eggheads today. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Michael, I'm 51 and I'm a business proprietor.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Kieran, I'm 40 and I'm a nurse.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Damien, I'm 43 and I'm a lorry driver.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Tommy, I'm 55 and a solicitor.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm Gerry, I'm 54 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So welcome, Abbey Revellers.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17You do different things in life but you all meet in the pub
0:01:17 > 0:01:18and you all do quizzes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- We do indeed.- And tell us what you do, Michael?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, as I've indicated there, I'm a business proprietor.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Myself and my wife work together.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We manufacture and sell mobile clothes lines.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's a relatively new idea.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It sounds like a Dragon's Den kind of thing! A clothes line
0:01:34 > 0:01:36you can take out of the rain?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Absolutely, because sometimes it rains in Omagh
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and to that end it's a very popular item. It's going very well.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Right. Let's see how you do, good luck.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:48 > 0:01:51for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat
0:01:51 > 0:01:54the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So, Abbey Revellers, the challengers won the last game,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59proving it can be done.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06First head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Which one wants to play this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Who's the history man here?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- I'd say Tommy. - Do you want History, Tommy?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Tommy, History, OK and against which Egghead?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- We'll go with Barry and see how we go.- OK, we'll do that.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Tommy from the Abbey Revellers against
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Barry, our newest Egghead.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29take your positions in the question room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Tommy, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I'll go first.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40The Battle of Flodden took place during
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the reign of which English king?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52this is one which I do not know the answer to.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's one of the Henries, OK, but which one it is...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I would guess Henry...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02IV.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It was Henry VIII, actually.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Sorry about that, that answer is wrong.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So on we go with Barry.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Barry, the KGB spies Donald Maclean,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Guy Burgess, Harold "Kim" Philby and Anthony Blunt,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19met at which university?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24They were all members of a club.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'm just trying to remember the name.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I think it may have been called the Apostles,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31but it was certainly at Cambridge.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yes, it was, Cambridge University. They all met there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Tommy,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40the 19th-century Scottish blacksmith Kirkpatrick Macmillan
0:03:40 > 0:03:43is credited with the invention of what?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'll just have to guess. Pedal bicycle.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Let's ask the Eggheads. Is he right?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, yes!
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Yes, you're right!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Pure luck!
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Barry, which Russian Tsar was strangled in 1762,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15reputedly on the orders of his own wife?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, it certainly wasn't Nicholas II,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24because he was the last of the Romanovs and he was murdered
0:04:24 > 0:04:28by the communists at Yekaterinburg in 1917.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Alexander III was a...
0:04:30 > 0:04:3419th-century tsar and it wasn't him, but I believe that Peter III
0:04:34 > 0:04:38was the unfortunate husband of Catherine the Great
0:04:38 > 0:04:41who had ordered him to be strangled, so the answer is Peter III.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You're quite right, Barry, well done. Two points, so far.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Tommy, if you get this question wrong,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49then you've lost the head to head.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Pontiac's War in the 18th- century was directed mainly
0:04:53 > 0:04:56against the British occupation of which American region?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I've got a feeling it may be the Great Lakes because the Canadians
0:05:08 > 0:05:11influenced Pontiac, so I'll go for Great Lakes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Great Lakes is correct.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK, Barry, your third question now.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21If you get this right, you'll be in the final, not Tommy.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23In which modern day country was
0:05:23 > 0:05:29the Roman Army victorious at the Battle of Mons Graupius in 84 AD?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'm just trying to remember who was in charge
0:05:34 > 0:05:37at the Battle of Mons Graupius. It may have been Agricola,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41but it certainly took place against the Picts,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and it was held in Scotland.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- You sound SO certain. - Yes, I'm absolutely certain on this.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51We're beginning to get the sense that you are quite good at history.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Scotland is right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So well done, the Eggheads were triumphant.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58You will play in the final round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Tommy, I'm sorry to say, you won't. You were beaten by our Egghead
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and both of you come and rejoin your teams.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So, as it stands the challengers have lost
0:06:07 > 0:06:11one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Which Abbey Reveller wants to be literary?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- It can't be Tommy.- Well, get it out of the way. I'll go for it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28OK, Michael. Which Egghead?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Which Egghead looks as if...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33they've never opened a book in their life?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Well, that's debatable, isn't it? Do better than last time!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I like watching CJ's programmes, so I'll go with CJ.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Bit of a celebrity thing going on there!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Michael from the Abbey Revellers against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So Michael, you're a bit of a fan of CJ?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Absolutely, I admire him.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- We've been hunting for that person for years!- Well, I've arrived!
0:07:02 > 0:07:03How about that, CJ?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- You can't beat him now, can you, CJ? - On Arts and Books,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I don't think there's any chance!
0:07:09 > 0:07:10CJ's great strength
0:07:10 > 0:07:13is that he thinks every single category is his worst...
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I've noticed that! Which it isn't!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Arts and Books, then. Three questions, multiple choice
0:07:20 > 0:07:22and you can choose the first or second set.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Well, following in Tommy's footsteps, I'll go with the first set.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30And good luck, Michael.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33What term is used to describe a collection of works
0:07:33 > 0:07:37by an artist or sometimes the folder in which they're held?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Well, it's not one that readily comes to mind.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'll rule out provenance.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I don't believe it's portfolio, so I'll go with pastiche.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Team mates, has he done the right thing, there?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Portfolio, I think.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Portfolio it is.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07What is it with the first questions today? They're tripping you up!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11So, sorry, Michael, portfolio is correct.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13CJ, David Balfour is the young hero of which
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Robert Louis Stevenson novel?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25He is the hero of Kidnapped.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27He is indeed.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Point to you. Back to you, Michael.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33A History Of Modern Britain, published in 2007,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36is a book by which journalist and TV presenter?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Well, it's definitely not one I'm familiar with.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49At this stage, I probably wish I had gone for the second set of questions!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I don't think it's Jeremy Paxman,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56or Jeremy Bowen. I'll go with Andrew Marr.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00He's gonna be relieved, sitting at home watching.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It is Andrew Marr. Well, done.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Thank you.- Over to you, CJ.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Siobhan Davis is an important name in which field of the Arts?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18No, I don't know, so I'm gonna go for contemporary dance.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22And you are completely right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24How did she draw you to the right answer there?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Women can't use cameras, cos they're too complicated,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29and they can't chip stone for sculpture,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32cos they're not strong enough, so they dance.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Don't rise, don't rise. - I wish I hadn't asked now!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40OK. Over to you, Michael.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42You need to get this right or CJ will be in the final.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48Mirabel and Millamant are characters in which play by William Congreve?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58So far it's not typically my set of questions at all!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00William Congreve...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The only one I'm familiar with
0:10:02 > 0:10:06is Love For Love, so on that basis, I'll go for that.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The correct answer is The Way Of The World,
0:10:11 > 0:10:16so you're wrong on Love For Love, which means CJ has won the round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17As a fan of his,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I guess you have to applaud in some way
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- and be delighted. - I have no problem with that!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You were beaten so you can't play in the final round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Please, both of you, come back.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:10:31 > 0:10:34from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Next subject is Sport. Guessing you've got a plan here?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Who wants this, and against which Egghead?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43THEY CONFER
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- You happy up there?- You go with it. - You want to do it, go ahead.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I think it's me, Jeremy. - OK, Damien, our lorry driver,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55the Abbey Reveller and...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57which Egghead?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Who would you go for? >
0:10:59 > 0:11:03ABBEY REVELLERS CONFER >
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I think it's Chris >
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- OK.- Chris...- Hopefully. - He hates it, he hates it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The day I don't get picked for Sport,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15the oceans will fall into the sky and the trees will hang with fishes!
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Why do people keep picking on you for Sport? Can we explain this now?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Cos they know I loathe, abominate and detest the entire subject
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and would willingly see it consigned
0:11:24 > 0:11:28to the remoter reaches of sulphurous hell, there to rot for all eternity!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- So, no strong views, then? - No, not really!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32He doesn't like it!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So, Damien from Abbey Revellers against Chris,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37angry Chris, from the Eggheads.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42please take your positions in the question room.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47OK, three questions on Sport in turn, multiple choice
0:11:47 > 0:11:49and Damien you can decide first or second set?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I think I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Here we go, good luck.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56What's the collective name
0:11:56 > 0:11:59for the runners in a horse race?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I think I might know this one.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'm fairly confident that the answer is field.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yes, field is the correct answer.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15What is the word peloton doing in there?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's in the Tour de France.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Oh, the cyclists, is it? - The chasing pack of the leader.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23So, in other words, "I couldn't get to work
0:12:23 > 0:12:25"because I ran into a large peloton"?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- You could try that!- Would that work?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Maybe in France!
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Over to you, Chris. In which country was the golfer Sam Torrance born?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43There's a place called Torrance,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46just up the road from Milngavie in Scotland,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50so that would incline me to believe that he was born in Scotland.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Love the logic. Is that your answer?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Mm-hm.- It's right, well done.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Damien, here's your next question.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Which cricketer was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year
0:13:01 > 0:13:07in 2007, the year after he won TV's Strictly Come Dancing?
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Cricket would not be one of my choices for watching sport.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I know that both
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Mark Ramprakash and Darren Gough were...
0:13:26 > 0:13:30involved in the...the dancing.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I recall Darren Gough
0:13:33 > 0:13:37winning the dancing...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I'm not too sure about Mark. I know he was very good.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I think I'll have to go for Darren Gough.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48You had it narrowed down right,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but you got the wrong answer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's Mark Ramprakash.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Chris, here's your next question.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Chris, in which sporting event
0:13:57 > 0:14:01is the Coupe des Mousquetaires presented?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10The Coupe des Mousquetaires.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Well, it's not Le Mans, because that's a motor-racing event.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I can't think why they'd have a Musketeer cup.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And The Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe is surely just a monetary award,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25so I'll say the French Open Tennis.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Again, the logic is mystifying,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31but the answer is correct.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It is the French Open. Well, done.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36In the first half of the 20th century
0:14:36 > 0:14:39you had four very famous French players who were known as
0:14:39 > 0:14:43"The Four Musketeers", Jean Borotra and Rene Lacoste amongst them,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and they just won everything at the time.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So Musketeer, tennis, there is that connection?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50OK, Damien, get this one right,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53please, because then that keeps you in it, otherwise
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Chris takes your place in the final.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Here we go. The so-called Cambridge Rules
0:14:57 > 0:15:00were an early version of the rules of which sport?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I must confess I'm not sure on this question of the answer.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Cambridge Rules...
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I think I'll go for Boxing.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22- It's not Boxing, which I guess was Queensberry, was it?- Mm-hm.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27It's Football, which means, Damien, you're not in the final round.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Chris the Egghead is,
0:15:28 > 0:15:33so both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37The challengers have lost three brains.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Eggheads have lost no brains from that final round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Our last subject is Music.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Who wants this?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- I'll have a stab at it. - That's Kieran's department.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Do you want Judith? - Kieran?- Yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Kieran from Abbey Revellers against?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Judith.- Judith from the Eggheads.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Please take your positions.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Kieran, there's a big weight on your shoulders.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Well, I'm a big weight myself, so I'm well used to it, like!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And you've been a nurse for 21 years?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Unfortunately, yes. The length of time sort of wears on me.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Right. It's Music,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18it's three questions, multiple choice.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Kieran, you can be first or second.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22No point in breaking the habit. I'll go first.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And it's working so well for your team(!)
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, hopefully it will change!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33What was the title of a 1990s UK hit single for The La's?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, I'm quite confident on this one,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44because when I was in my thinner days
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I used to dance to it for a while
0:16:46 > 0:16:49at the discos and it was There She Goes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- That'll do.- Yes!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Finally!
0:16:54 > 0:16:58The dreaded first question and you guys have got it right.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Full steam ahead.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Judith, with which genre of music is Jimmy Cliff most associated?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Reggae, Heavy Metal or Opera?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I don't think I've heard of an opera singer called Jimmy Cliff.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think he might be Heavy Metal.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Heavy Metal? Which band was he in?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I've no idea! I've no idea!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27AC/DC, was it, or Metallica?
0:17:27 > 0:17:28I don't know.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I don't have to know that, luckily.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- He was a Reggae artist.- Oh, was he?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh well, there you are.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Things are looking up for our Revellers.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I take it you knew Jimmy Cliff, Kieran?- Straight away.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- The modern stuff I'm OK on.- OK. Let's see how you do on this one.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45In classical music,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47what name is given to a piece
0:17:47 > 0:17:51originally intended for technical practice by the player?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I have not got one clue about this,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07but the only one that kind of sticks out to me that I've kind of heard of
0:18:07 > 0:18:14in relation to music would be Etude, so I'll go with Etude.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It was enough information to get it right.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19You're correct.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Etude it was.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Back to you, Judith.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Shiny Happy People and Near Wild Heaven were UK hit singles
0:18:34 > 0:18:36for which band, Judith?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44I don't think it was Queen, but I've absolutely no idea.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Funnily enough they ring bells but I don't know who on earth did them.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51So it's...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What about REM?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Just, maybe...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I don't know. Guess.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Is that your answer?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01- Yep.- It's right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Oh, really! Gosh!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Judith on pop...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Kieran, that's a sight we like to see!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13If you get this question right then you've won the head to head.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Which US soul singer had UK hit singles with
0:19:17 > 0:19:21First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Feel Like Making Love?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Well, I'm not quite too sure about this one again.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'm not sure...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I don't think it's Sharon Redd.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Roberta Flack and Randy Crawford...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46which one was it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'm gonna guess Roberta Flack.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Team mates, Tommy, what do you think?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Yes.- Yes!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03APPLAUSE
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Well, it's turning round for the Abbey Revellers.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Judith, you will not be in the final round
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and no point in me asking you the third question. Kieran, well done.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13You took on an Egghead and you won.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You will play in the final round
0:20:15 > 0:20:17which follows this as soon as you come back.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25It's the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:20:28 > 0:20:29won't be allowed to take part.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34So, Michael, Damien and Tommy from the Abbey Revellers
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Gerry, we haven't met you yet, but you're a primary school teacher?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- I was for some years... 28 years.- 28 years?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48And a footballer before that?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I had a junior international cap in 1976, in Northern Ireland v Scotland.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Northern Ireland v Scotland, 1976. Who won?
0:20:54 > 0:21:001-0 to Scotland. Sorry, 1-0 to us!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02LAUGHTER
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's an easy mistake to make!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Shows you how nervous you can be up here!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Let's get that mistake out of the way now, OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Kieran and Gerry you are playing to win the Abbey Revellers £1,000.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Chris, Barry, Kevin and CJ,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18you're playing for something money can't buy...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27You are allowed to confer,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29so Abbey Revellers,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Kieran and Gerry, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Shall we stick with tradition?- Yep. - We'll go first.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Here are the questions.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47What is an informal way of referring to the entrance to heaven?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53(Diamond Doors...)
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't think there's any doubt really what it is, you know, Gerry!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Eliminate Golden Arches.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It's patently obvious it's Pearly Gates.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Pearly Gates...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07is correct, well done.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10SCATTERED APPLAUSE
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Your question, Eggheads. As what is Roberto Cavalli,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16born in 1940, best known?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Fashion Designer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It is a Fashion Designer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I'm sure Cavalli is a designer.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30OK, that's fine.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Fashion Designer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Fashion Designer is correct, Kevin, well done.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Back to you guys,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39the Abbey Revellers.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Sid James and Diana Coupland starred
0:22:41 > 0:22:45as married couple Sid and Jean Abbott in which TV sitcom?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I think it was Patrick Cargill was in Father, Dear Father.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54That's right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58And it was your man, what do you call him, used to be in...
0:22:58 > 0:23:03with Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett, Man About The House.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Robin...- Robin's Nest.- Robin's Nest.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, that just leaves Bless This House,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Sid James and that's what I think.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I think Diana Coupland played the long-suffering wife.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16OK. We know Sid James was in Bless This House.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Bless This House.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Good stuff, you're right.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22You're right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Eggheads, your question.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30What is the literal translation of "coup de foudre",
0:23:30 > 0:23:33a French expression for love at first sight?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Stroke of Lightning,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Stroke of Lightning, isn't it?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45That's Stroke of Lightning.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Stroke of Lightning is right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47So, two points each.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Next question is for the Abbey Revellers.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54In 1898, Brighton businessman Henry Linfield
0:23:54 > 0:23:56became the first man to die
0:23:56 > 0:23:58as a result of what?
0:24:06 > 0:24:11I don't think that's the name for a train crash.
0:24:11 > 0:24:131898...
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I'm not sure, but...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I'm thinking car crash,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23for some reason, I don't know why.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I think it was definitely too early for a plane crash,
0:24:26 > 0:24:281898, for starters.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I think that's not the name associated with a train crash.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I haven't heard this name but...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm only going on a hunch here, you know.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- As I say, I'm not 100% sure.- I'm in agreement with you on car crash.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I think it's between car crash...
0:24:41 > 0:24:47Cars were only just, sort of, starting at that time, really.
0:24:47 > 0:24:501898... Kitty Hawk... The Wright Brothers.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think that was 190...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54so, it's definitely not a plane crash.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We'll have to go with car crash.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59There's a different name for a train crash.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Will we chance car crash? - I think we'll go with it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Yeah.- We'll chance Car Crash.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07The Brighton businessman Henry Linfield
0:25:07 > 0:25:09was the first man to die...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12in a car crash.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14APPLAUSE
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Interesting question.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Chris will tell you the name of the first train crash victim.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That could have been more than one person.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24It would have been earlier.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The first man to be killed by a train
0:25:27 > 0:25:30was an MP, William Huskisson, back in about 1830.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The first fully documented serious train crash
0:25:33 > 0:25:36was Christmas Eve 1841, when a Great Western train
0:25:36 > 0:25:38ran into a landslip in Sonning Cutting,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40after weeks of torrential rain.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42There were several people killed
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and it's the first one fully documented and investigated
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- by the Board of Trade. That was 1841.- OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Eggheads, your question.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If you get this wrong, our visitors have taken the prize money.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Here is your question. What is the skateboarding term
0:25:56 > 0:25:58for riding backwards?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Well, Fakie is a skateboard term.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Is it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I think it is.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I was just thinking a Goofy Foot if you ride backwards with the pedals
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- in the other direction? - That was my thought,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17but you reckon Fakie is...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Well, I'm sure they all are, and Goofy Foot sounds logical.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22McTwist sounds as though
0:26:22 > 0:26:24there's some sort of turning motion involved,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26so it doesn't seem likely.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I think Goofy Foot sounds more realistic.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think I may even have vaguely heard the term somewhere...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I'm not sure, but I...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- No prob. - All I'm saying is, if it was me
0:26:36 > 0:26:38by myself, I would go for Fakie.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- That's all I'm saying.- Nothing like hedging your bets, is there?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43No. If I was by myself,
0:26:43 > 0:26:44I would go for Fakie.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Hang on. If you're going backwards,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49you're looking over your shoulder,
0:26:49 > 0:26:50aren't you?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- See where you're going.- Yeah?- Twist.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Oh, for God's sake!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01We think it's one of those three(!)
0:27:01 > 0:27:03We're not even sure of that, now!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08OK. I say Fakie.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Chris, what do you think?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'll still go with Goofy Foot.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12I'll go with Goofy Foot.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Go on, Kevin.- Oh, great(!)
0:27:14 > 0:27:17If you were by yourself,
0:27:17 > 0:27:18which one would you go for?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Goofy Foot.- Yeah?- Goofy Foot.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Goofy Foot is your answer? OK.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26That was just such a brilliant discussion! Wasn't that fantastic?
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Very, very good.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28CJ, gradually,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31becoming more certain it's Fakie...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33no, but more and more certain
0:27:33 > 0:27:35that Fakie needed listening to,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36and the others conjuring up
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Goofy Foot from nowhere,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and then McTwist coming in at the end
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and guys, you've only
0:27:42 > 0:27:44ever lost two in a row...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46twice before...
0:27:46 > 0:27:50in the history of Eggheads?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51You've blown a gasket again.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's Fakie!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Put it there!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57CJ was right!
0:27:57 > 0:28:02CJ was right! There will be recriminations from this.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Challengers,
0:28:03 > 0:28:04congratulations, you've won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Thank you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- This is great, well done! - Thank you.- Thank you, Jeremy.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Cos it was shaky at the start.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Very shaky.- You've just won £1,000.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19We're glad we didn't get their questions!
0:28:19 > 0:28:22And you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Twice in a row they've lost!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Thanks to the Eggheads, they're very sporting!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28They are always sporting, that's true!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:30 > 0:28:33to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Till then, goodbye.
