These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
They are the Eggheads. Challenging our resident champions today | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
are the Innovators. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
The team either work for innovative companies, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
or are pioneering entrepreneurs, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
all based in a specialist centre in Enfield. Let's meet them. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Hello, I'm Ian. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
I'm 56, and a ventures incubator manager. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello, I'm Kevin. I'm 44, and I'm a business analyst. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 31 and I'm an IT professional. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
Hello, I'm Jim. I'm 40 and I'm an IT project manager. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Hello, I'm Tony. I'm 51 and I'm a local government officer. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-Welcome, Innovators. -Hello. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Lots of different professions and ideas, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
you're busy the whole time, dreaming up new things. Is that right? | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
-That's about right, yes. -So, what do you do? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
I'm the incubator manager. I run a centre for new businesses, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
where they start up, and develop their technology ideas, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
and take them to the market. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Kim, you've got an idea that involves toys? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-That's right. Yeah. -Can you tell us about it? -It's secret at this stage! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
-Does that mean you might not have an idea? -No, the idea's definitely there, very much so! | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
When will we find out what the idea is? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
18 months' time, I would say. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
So you work together, building things up, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
-then putting them onto the market... -That's right. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
There's a musical connection. You're a drummer, Kevin? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
-I am, yup. -And you've played quite high profile gigs? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-I have, yeah. -Tell us. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
I play in four bands, semi-professionally, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
and travel around Europe and America. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-And you've supported The Strokes? -Yeah, in New York. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
You've also got a keyboard player, Tony? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Very poor one, yes. But, eh...! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Don't spoil it! It was going so well! | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
No, um... I tend to play stringed instruments. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
Guitars, mainly. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
I do play keyboards to a certain lesser extent. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
So it's music, it's business, and it's toys, it's everything. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
-You've got the lot covered. -Nice melting pot. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Yeah! Let's see how you do. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
However, if they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
The Eggheads have won the last two games, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
First head to head battle is on the subject of Music. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Is there gonna be a fight over this? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-It's got to be you or me, hasn't it? -Yup. What do you think? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-It's probably Tony. -Do you want me to do it? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-OK, Tony. -Tony on Music. Choose an Egghead. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
I think Barry, or... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Probably Barry. He's the new one. Have a go at the new one. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-Yup. -Good for you. Well done. -Right. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-So, Tony? -I'll play Barry, please. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
On the basis that he's new, so might not be any good? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
I'm following instructions! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
OK. Tony against Barry, our newest Egghead. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
-Barry, are you musical? Tell us. -Ah, I love listening to music. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
I'm not particularly musical myself. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
I once tried to learn piano, and my teacher advised me to give up, | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
because she said I was musically dyslexic. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Aaw, bad piano teacher! | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on music. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
He didn't learn the piano, Tony, you did. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-That may give you the edge. -Well, let's hope so! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-Do you want the first or second set of questions? -Second, please. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
So your question, Barry. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
What was the title of U2's 1987 Grammy Award winning album? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
I actually enjoy U2 very much indeed, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
so I know the answer is The Joshua Tree. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
That's right. Joshua Tree it is. Over to you, Tony. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
Hotel California was a 1977 UK top ten hit single for which group? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:33 | |
Well, this is played a lot on the radio stations that I listen to, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
and it's The Eagles. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Quite right. I was listening to it just this morning. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Isn't that a coincidence? I had the whole thing on. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Seven minutes long, isn't it? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-I think it is six, seven minutes. -Yeah, came as a shock. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
Barry, which musical features the songs, | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I Have A Dream, and Does Your Mother Know? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
It's the absolutely wonderful Mamma Mia! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
And I advise anyone who's not seen it yet to go as soon as possible! | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
You're right, and it's a great feel-good musical. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Two points to Barry. Back to you, Tony. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Which hip-hop group released the controversial album, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
Straight Outta Compton? | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Well, I don't know. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
It would have to be a guess at... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
NWA. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
We should get this from Chris, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
cos rap is your favourite thing, Chris. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Is he right? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
-Would I know?! -You were probably listening to it this morning. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-No way! -No? Anyone? -I'd have gone for that. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Tony, you're right. NWA is the right answer. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Now your question, Barry. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Unknown Pleasures was the title of the first album by which group? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Gosh! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
The word "pleasure" doesn't seem to come to mind | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
when one thinks of The Smiths. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
On that basis and nothing else alone, I shall discount them! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
Unknown Pleasures seems to ring a bell with Joy Division. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
So, I shall go for that. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
It's amazing watching you guys. The way your brains work. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
You're absolutely right. Spot on. Well done, Barry. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
So, Tony, you need to get this answer right | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
to stay in with a chance of being in the final. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Here's your question. Rossini's opera La Cenerentola, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
first performed in 1817, is based on which fairy tale? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Again, it would have to be a guess. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Can't see any clues in the name. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
Think we'd have to go for... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Hansel and Gretel. That's the first one I dismissed, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
so I'll go back to that. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-That's interesting. So you ruled it out, you ruled it back in. -Yup. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
Hansel and Gretel is the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It's Cinderella. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-What does Cenerentola mean? -Cinderella. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-It just means Cinderella? -It's a translation. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-Italian for Cinderella. -One word beginning with a capital C, that's the clue? -Exactly. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
-C - Cinder, Ella. -Cinder, it's ashes. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
Yes, sitting in the ashes. Like she did. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-Goes back to the word "incinerate", if you think about it. -Yes. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
Well, Tony, sorry, you came close but Barry took the round. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
Which means we'll see Barry in the final, not Tony. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
Do please come back to the studio now. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
As it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. Our next subject is Sport. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
Who's the sportsman, or woman? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Fancy that, Jim? -I don't mind. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-Off you go, Kevin. -Kevin, against which Egghead? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-I'm going to choose Daphne. -Right. This could be fatal, you know that? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
Kevin from the Innovators, against our Daphne, from the Eggheads. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Kevin, you seem to do almost everything. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Businessman and drummer, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-and you've been a clown...! -Ha-ha! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Don't say that in front of millions, please! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
You also got this skateboard thing going on. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-You came third in the UK skateboard championships, right? -I did, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
when I was 16, I was known as The Teenage Flyer, in my local area. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
The tricks are a little different now. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
It was, I suppose, innovative at the time. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
Skateboarding's just started, so... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
But, yeah, go upside-down, into the air, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
and came third in UK championships at Guildford. Yeah, it was good. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Sport. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
Kevin, would you like the first set of questions, or second? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
I'll go second. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Daphne, first question. Where was athlete Colin Jackson born? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
He's definitely Welsh. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
-So, the answer's Wales. -Wales is the answer. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Over to you, Kevin. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
Which right-handed England cricketer hit two sixes, left-handed, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
on his way to a century against New Zealand in June 2008? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Hmm. Tricky. It's not my hot subject. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
But I'd go for Kevin Pietersen. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
And you've got it completely right. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Daphne, in Olympic competition, | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
how many attempts does a pole-vaulter have | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
to clear the bar at each height? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Three. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-No hesitation at all? -No. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
You didn't think it might be four or two or... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
No, no. It is three. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
It is. You're right. Well done! | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
Back to you, Kevin. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Which football team was pelted with rotten fruit by angry fans | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
on their return home after losing to North Korea in the 1966 World Cup? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
I was three at the time. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Hungary, they were good around that time. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
Erm, Portugal? Eusebio... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
I'm gonna say Italy, because they've... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
because of their passion. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-Italy. You think they've got a history of fruit? -Yeah! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
Spot on. Well done, you got it right. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
He's keeping up, Daphne! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Third question. See if you can get this one. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
In June 2008, Tim Henman caused upset | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
when he claimed tennis players from which country were a bit "niffy"? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
I've no idea! I haven't heard the quote. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Think about it. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Well, I have heard that the French | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
aren't very...erm, keen on soap and water. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
So, I'll go for France. I really don't know! | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
Judith lives in France. Is that true? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
I think they also love garlic. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Which is rather pungent. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
So Henman could have said "niffy" about the French? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Yes, he could, frankly. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-Do you know, Innovators? -I think it was the Czechs. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-We were leaning towards the Czech Republic. -Yes, the Czechs, Daphne. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
-Really? Lack of bathrooms! -Good situation for you, Kevin. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
Because you went second, you can take the round and be in the final, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
if you get this right. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
Which Dutch darts player is nicknamed The Matchstick, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
on account of his slim appearance? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
Really easy, these questions, aren't they(?) Hmm. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
I'm going to go for Co Stompe. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
Let's see whether Eggheads know? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
-Who's The Matchstick? -I'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-You'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen? -Because he's tiny. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Don't even know Rico Vonck, to be honest. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Not only have you got this question right, Kevin, | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
you got a question none of the Eggheads can answer. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Well done, you're in the final. So, you emerged triumphant. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
That means Daphne will not be in the final. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
It's good news for our challengers, the Innovators. Do come back to us. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
-Kevin, well done. -That was lucky! | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
Co Stompe, we won't forget! | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
The Dutch darts player known as The Matchstick, I think. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
OK, the challengers have lost one brain from the final. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
The Eggheads have also lost one. Next subject is Science. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Who wants Science? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
That's definitely yours, I think, Jim. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Yup. I'll go for Science. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-You're the IT man, off you go. Good lad. -Go for it, Jim. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-Name an Egghead. -I'll go for the lovely Judith. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
The lovely Judith on Science. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
Jim from the Innovators, against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
take your positions in the question room. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
OK, good luck in this round. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
I'm going to ask each of you three questions, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
and you can choose, Jim, first or second set. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
I think I'll go for the first set. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Here's your first question. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
What name is given to the balls of chemical pesticide | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
used to protect clothes in storage? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
OK, I'm not going to beat about the bush too much on this one. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
And I'll go for the mothballs. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-You are completely certain? -I am, yes. -I'm so relieved. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
Mothballs is right. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:20 | |
Well done, you're off the blocks. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Judith, your question. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
Despite his name, what type of creature is a jackrabbit? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
I think, that is a... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
an American term for a hare. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
Well done, quite right. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Jim, your question. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
In mathematics, what type of diagram | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
can be used to calculate probability? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Well, it's not a tree diagram. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
So I can rule that out straightaway. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
Um, I believe it's the Venn diagram. | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
I'll go for Venn. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
If you had said that sentence the other way round, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
it would have been right. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
The Venn needed ruling out. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
The tree is the correct answer. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
So, we move over to Judith. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
Which English physicist's most famous publication | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
is often known simply as The Principia? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
That is Isaac Newton. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
It is Isaac Newton. You are right. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Jim, you need to get this right, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
or you will not be in the final. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Hyperhidrosis is the scientific term for the condition of excessive what? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
It's going to be a guess on this one. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
I'm leaning towards either... | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
Actually, I was looking at sweating and swallowing. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
But the blushing is starting to stand out a bit more. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
Hyperhidrosis... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I'll go for blushing. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
It's a complete guess. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-OK. -But I'll go for blushing. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Blushing is turned red. Let me ask your team mates. Is he right? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-Don't think so. -You don't think so? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
We're leaning towards sweating. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Yeah, they are leaning towards sweating. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
And they would be right, Jim. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
Sorry. No way back for you in this round. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
You will not be in the final. Judith, you will be, on Science! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
We should do some fireworks! | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-It's not that bad, Jeremy. Don't exaggerate! -No, it's not! OK. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-I know, but we've had our moments. -We've had moments, yeah. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Jim, you were beaten by our Egghead. Please both come back to the studio. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
-Ian, is the plan intact? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-Not bad. -Well, you're in the final. You know that. -Yes. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-You've got Kevin... -We've got two. We'd like three. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
You're on track. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
Eggheads have lost one. Last subject is Politics. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
Who wants this, and against which Egghead? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-Go for it, Kim. -Kim, you're fine! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-Politics! -We all hate Politics. -The prettiest one, for Politics. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
-We're choosing Kim. -Who against? Chris or Kevin. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
I think I'll go for Kevin. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
High risk strategy. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
Kim, from the Innovators, against Kevin, from the Eggheads. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
To ensure no conferring, take your positions. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
Kim, you're another who combines business and music. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-That's correct. -You write songs? You play guitar? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
In my spare time, when I have any. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
I have a little four-year-old boy, who keeps me busy! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Who listens to the songs? Or is it just you? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
Selective, kind audiences! | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Kevin, I have to tell you, has, | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
in the history of Eggheads, | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
has never lost a round in Politics. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Ha! Wonderful. And it's my best subject(!) | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
So, statistically, would the fact that you've never lost in Politics, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
mean it is actually MORE likely that you will lose against Kim now? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
Hmm, to get to the depths of that, you'd have to ask a statistician, wouldn't you? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-Do we need a Venn diagram or tree diagram for that? -A tree. -A tree, yeah, OK! | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
Three questions on Politics in turn. Multiple choice of course, Kim, | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
and you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Good luck to you. Here we go. Which Conservative MP stood down, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
in June 2008, in order to fight a by-election | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
on civil liberty issues? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Well, like I said, Politics not being my best subject, | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
erm...I'll go for Alan Duncan. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
It's a complete guess. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
And I'm afraid it's wrong. It was David Davis. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
OK, Kevin, over to you. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
What was the only European country to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in 2008? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
Can of worms, cat out of the bag, all of that. Ireland. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
Ramifications still going on. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
-Because the referendum result was? -A No vote. Democracy in action. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
Ireland is the correct answer. Back to you, Kim. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
You can save it, don't worry. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Who was the first female Labour MP | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
to lead the House at Prime Minister's Questions? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
None of those names are really that familiar to me. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
But something's telling me Harriet Harman. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
That's your answer? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-Mh-hmm. -The something is quite right. It was Harriet Harman. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
Good girl! Well done. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Back to you, Kevin. Which part of Theresa May's appearance prompted much comment | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
at the 2002 Conservative conference? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Well, it may have been other things, as well. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
But I think it involved something that was of a leopard skin nature. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:27 | |
And I think it was her shoes. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
-So, shoes. -Yes, it was her shoes. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
And I think it was leopard skin, you're right. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
So, Kim, you need this right, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
to have a chance of locking Kevin out of the final. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government? | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
It's going to be another one of those hunches. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
I'm going to go for Jo Grimmond. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
It's not Jo Grimmond, actually. It's David Steel. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
And took a lot of flak for it in the months and years that followed. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
So, Kim, sorry. Good effort, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
but become another of Kevin's Politics statistics. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
Kevin, well done. You're in the final. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Sorry to say, Kim, you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
Please both of you rejoin your teams. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. Our final round, which is General Knowledge. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
So, Kim, Jim, and Tony from the Innovators, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
and also Daphne, from the Eggheads, please leave the studio. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
So, Ian and Kevin, you're playing to win the Innovators £3,000. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 | |
-Are you ready? -As ready as we ever will be. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
Slightly depleted, it has to be said, but... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
The strategy was two, possibly three. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
-So... -OK, right, good. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
So the business plan is intact? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
-Yup. -Kevin, Judith, Chris and Barry, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
Innovators, the question is, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-Ian and Kevin, do you want to go first or second? -We'll go first. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Good luck, guys. According to the poem, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
what was the little girl who had a little curl, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
right in the middle of her forehead, when she was bad? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
-I think she's probably horrid, don't you? -Yup. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Nasty, ghastly or horrid. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
I think horrid. Horrid rings well. I like horrid. Are you into horrid? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
I'm into horrid. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
It's a long time since my girl was very little. But she was horrid! | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
We'll go for horrid. Will we go for horrid? | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-Can you think of the poem? -Sort of, but not completely. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
But the word "horrid" rings a bell. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
-I'd go for that. -Horrid it is. -Horrid is your answer. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
Can anyone complete the line? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
There was a little girl, who had a little curl, | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
right in the middle of her forehead. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
When she was good, she was very, very good. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
-And when she was bad, she was horrid. -Right answer, Innovators. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
Well done. Horrid is right. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-You're good on your nursery rhymes, Judith. -I know! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
It's the only thing I can remember. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
What is the name traditionally given to the set of rooms | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
used by barristers to meet their clients? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
-Chambers. -Chambers. -Chambers. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Yup. We're all agreed, chambers. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
And chambers is correct. Second question, Innovators. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
Which designer, famous for her T-shirts bearing slogans such as, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
Frankie Say Relax, was named Designer of the Year | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
by the British Fashion Council in 1984? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Hmm. T-shirts. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
-Vivienne's been around for a long time. -She's back to '77. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
But would she... Could you repeat the first part of the question? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
I'll do the whole thing. Which designer, famous for her T-shirts | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
bearing slogans such as Frankie Say Relax, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
was named Designer of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 1984? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
I think it's either Vivienne Westwood or Zandra Rhodes. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
I'm not into T-shirts, especially ladies T-shirts. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
We've got to go with Westwood. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
Because I know she was establishing herself in '77, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
with The Sex Pistols, etcetera. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
-Yup, yup. -Shall we go Vivienne Westwood, yup? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
On the basis that that's the only one thing that comes to mind. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
Katharine doesn't come to mind. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
OK, we'll go with Vivienne. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
-Vivienne Westwood. -Vivienne Westwood is your answer. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-Why did you rule out Katharine Hamnett? -Don't know. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Might have something to do with never hearing of her. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Because Vivienne, I guess, was more punky, wasn't she? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
As you correctly said, 1977. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
By 1984 it was Katharine Hamnett who was making those T-shirts. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
-Ouch! -We dropped that one, didn't we, chaps? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
So, wrong answer from the Innovators | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
gives the Eggheads a way to take advantage. Your question. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Which town in Hampshire has hosted an air show since 1948? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
The mind boggles at the thought of a Basingstoke air show. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
It's Farnborough, where the Royal Aircraft Establishment | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
has all been since the First World War. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
-Anyone been down there? -Yeah. -Good? -Well, it's not far from me. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
So, I've been to the Farnborough Air Show. It was great, yeah. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Farnborough's the right answer. Well done. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
You need this question right, Innovators, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
to have a chance of winning. If you get it wrong, the Eggheads have won. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
From 402 to 476 AD, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
which Italian city was capital of the Western Roman Empire? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
Palermo, obviously, is in Sicily. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Palermo's in Sicily? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
Yup. So, why would you have... | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
It was moved, for obvious reasons. And I think it was Rimini. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
Yeah. Why would you have a capital city on an island, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
off the main coast? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
Well, because it had been taken over by the Visigoths, hadn't it? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
And that lot. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:24 | |
Hmm. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
But, I can't... | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
-I'm not sure whether it is... I don't think it's Palermo. -You do? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
-No, I don't think it is. -No, I don't. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
It's either Rimini or Ravenna. Probably Rimini. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
Yeah, I'd go for Rimini. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
We're not being very clever, are we? I must say. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
-Ravenna. -I seem to have heard it somewhere before. I don't... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
I haven't heard Ravenna, at all. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
-No. -Rimini, I have. -Yup. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
But I don't know why. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
And it might be because that's where the capital was moved to. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:55 | |
Hmm. Rimini? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
-Are you sure? -Well, why would Palermo...? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
I don't think Palermo. Palermo doesn't ring a bell, at all. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
-It's good to defend, but... -Yeah. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
-Been there. -Why would you be away from your main populace? | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
Very nice cathedral next door. Yeah, exactly. Rimini. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
-We're going for Rimini. -Rimini's your answer. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-If you get this wrong, the game is over. -It's the wrong one, isn't it? | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
I'm looking at your fellow contestants, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
to see if they know the answer. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
No, they don't. No, shaking their heads. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
-It is wrong, it is wrong. Ravenna... -Ravenna! | 0:27:26 | 0:27:31 | |
-..is the correct answer, Innovators. -We took the wrong one, didn't we? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
So, no way back in this round. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
