0:00:04 > 0:00:08JEREMY VINE: These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:35You might recognise them as they won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the WACS from Weston-super-Mare.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46The team are all members of the Weston Anti Carrot Society.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49That needs explaining, doesn't it? Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Jill.
0:00:50 > 0:00:56I'm 70 and I'm a retired care home registered nurse.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Glyn. I'm 76 and I'm a retired clerk.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Anne. I'm 72 and I'm a retired health care worker.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Arthur. I'm 74 and I'm a retired quality manager.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Astra. I'm 63 years old and I'm a retired councillor.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22Good to see you, WACS, I know you're all friends, but you are also the Anti Carrot Society. Why?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25This is a very informal group of people who dislike
0:01:25 > 0:01:28our amazing monstrosity in the centre of town
0:01:28 > 0:01:31which is officially called the Silica.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And it's a large carrot-shaped nonsense?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39With a long root at the top and it lights up at night-time
0:01:39 > 0:01:43with all kinds of 280 LED bulbs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49And otherwise it's just a grey monster sitting in the middle of our Big Lamp Corner.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Daphne, you are a Weston-super-Mare resident. Do you have views on this?
0:01:53 > 0:01:59Oh, yes. My husband and I call it "the monstrosity", because it is!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03We always thought they ought to have a really, like, big lamp.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- It was always Big Lamp Corner and instead they put up the Carrot! - The Carrot!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13You're a very well-travelled team. Jill, you lived in Canada.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Glyn - 32 years in Australia. - Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Anne, I've got it written down here, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Arthur, born in Scotland,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and then at the end, Astra, you've been in Hull.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28So, a lot of widely-travelled...
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yes, everybody's just been in Hull(!)
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Right, so you're well-travelled, you've ended up not just in Weston with the Carrot,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37but here in the studio with the Eggheads, and good luck.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, WACS, the challengers won the last game, proving it can be done.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59- Are you ready to try?- Yes!- Yes. - First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So, Anti Carrots, which one of you wants this?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Well, I think...- Me!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Astra, brilliant! - JILL: Astra's the best.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK, Astra, which Egghead?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, on a consensus, we decided on you, Daphne.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Daphne, I thought you two Westoners getting together probably would be a good idea.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So, Astra from the Anti Carrots versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31So, two contestants united by a carrot! Are you ready to play?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'll ask three multiple-choice questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Astra, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'd like the first, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Astra, what type of animal was Goldie, the Blue Peter pet,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54looked after by the presenter Simon Groom?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Well, I do know this one.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I used to watch Blue Peter with my daughter
0:04:03 > 0:04:04and now with my grandchildren.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Erm, and he definitely wasn't a rabbit or a tortoise.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10He was a dog.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And, he was a Lab, I think.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Labrador?- Mmm.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Dog is correct. Well done.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Anyone know anything about Goldie? What sort of breed?- A retriever.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24They had a long series of golden retrievers.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Golden retriever, Astra, we're told. - Ah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Daphne, your question.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30In which year did Jeremy Paxman
0:04:30 > 0:04:34first present BBC Two's regular current affairs programme, Newsnight?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No idea.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42SHE SIGHS
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Don't know.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Don't...really....
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, gosh! 1980...
0:04:49 > 0:04:5120 years ago, isn't it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Would he have been about 30 then?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55SHE SIGHS
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You know, I haven't got a clue.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Erm...'99?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Your answer is 1999?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09No, it's wrong. It IS nearly 20 years he's been doing it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Yeah. 1989.- Oh, well.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13SHE LAUGHS
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- He'll be pleased with that. - Oh, well.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK, Astra.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Which member of the Monty Python team sang the lead in the famous Lumberjack Song
0:05:23 > 0:05:26in the original TV series?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm not too sure.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Erm...
0:05:34 > 0:05:38My husband will tell you I've never really been into Monty Python.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43But Terry Jones had an awful lot to do with music, things like that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Erm...
0:05:44 > 0:05:47SOFTLY: # I'm a lumberjack and I don't care... #
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Terry Jones, I think. - How did that song go, anyone?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55# I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
0:05:55 > 0:05:57# I work all night and I sleep all day. #
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- I wear women's skirts.- I cut down trees and wear women's skirts...
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Something like that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04We don't remember either, Astra.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08It was Michael Palin, not Terry Jones.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12So, Daphne, she's let you back in. You get this right, you're level.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18Who plays the would-be presidential assassin against whom Clint Eastwood has to guard
0:06:18 > 0:06:21in the 1992 film, In The Line of Fire?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Oh, dear.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Erm, last time I went to the cinema it was to see a Harry Potter film.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I can't even remember the time before that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I certainly haven't seen this, but something...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47..is drawing me towards John Malkovich.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49So, please let it be right!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53What is this something drawing you towards it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Erm, I just felt he played a would-be assassin in some film.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Yes, and you're right - it was him. Well done, Daphne.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Weston-super-Mare going strongly here.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Astra, in Francois Truffaut's 1960 film,
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Tirez Sur Le Pianiste, or Shoot The Pianist,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15which singer plays the title role?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I don't think it was Charles Aznavour.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I don't recall him ever doing a film.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38Erm, I've seen Sacha Distel in a few films.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I mean, this film totally escapes me,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but I'll go with Sacha Distel.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Sacha Distel is wrong. It's Charles Aznavour.- Wow!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51It's interesting -
0:07:51 > 0:07:56"Shoot The Pianist" famously comes from
0:07:56 > 0:07:58that Oscar Wilde moment in America,
0:07:58 > 0:08:03where he walked into a bar in Leadville, Colorado, and saw a sign saying,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06"Please do not shoot the piano player, he is doing his best."
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Oscar Wilde said, "It is wonderful to be in a place where there is a recognition
0:08:10 > 0:08:12"that bad art merits the penalty of death."
0:08:12 > 0:08:14LAUGHTER
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Daphne, your question. What is the first name of the character known as Turk
0:08:18 > 0:08:22as played by Donald Faison in the TV series, Scrubs?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30No, I can't even begin to guess.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I will go for Karl.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You're such a good guesser.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Every time I'm astounded at how well you guess.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40But it's wrong. It's not Karl, it's Christopher.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- OK.- After three questions each, scores are level. Bad luck, Daphne.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45We go to Sudden Death, Astra, OK?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Not multiple-choice now. That bit harder. Here we go.
0:08:48 > 0:08:55Herman, Grandpa and Eddie Wolfgang were characters in which 1960s TV series?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Was it The Addams Family?
0:09:00 > 0:09:06- That's what I'd have said, but I'd be wrong on most of these questions. It's The Munsters, actually.- Ahh!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, Daphne, you get this right, you're in the final.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Who played Mariette Larkin,
0:09:11 > 0:09:16in the 1990s TV drama series, The Darling Buds of May?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Oh! I did watch this.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Catherine Zeta-Jones.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Absolutely right, Daphne, well done. A hard-fought round for you both.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Well done to our Egghead.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Astra, you were beaten so you won't be in the final round. Daphne will.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Eggheads have lost no brains so far. Well done to Daphne.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46The next subject is Politics.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We've got ex-councillors here and all sorts, so...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51LAUGHTER
0:09:51 > 0:09:53ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Anne, it's you, OK. Against which Egghead?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Astra is saying, "Try Barry".- CJ.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05OK, Anne from the Anti Carrots against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08No conferring, so take your positions, please.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16It is not, I hope, insensitive to point out that the combined ages of this brilliant team, I make it 355.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17- What?!- ANNE: Wow!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19So, you know a lot!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21You've been around.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24We've been around, yes. I think that sums it up.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29You've chosen the whippersnapper from the Eggheads. 23, 24 is it, CJ, today?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31In a few years' time, yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Three questions on Politics in turn, where age and experience really do count.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Anne, you can tell us whether you want the first or second set of questions.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43First, please, Jeremy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Anne, what name is given to voting systems
0:10:49 > 0:10:53where the percentage of votes cast for a particular party or group
0:10:53 > 0:10:56closely matches the percentage of seats they then occupy?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I am going to guess Proportional Representation.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Absolutely right, well done.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15CJ, your question.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Shortly after taking office in 1997,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Tony Blair and his chancellor Gordon Brown
0:11:20 > 0:11:23gave the Bank of England independence to set what?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Er, they gave them the freedom to set interest rates.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That is correct. Interest rates is right.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Back to you, Anne.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Who famously said, "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony",
0:11:44 > 0:11:47on first entering 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Words engraved on my heart. It was Margaret Thatcher.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Margaret Thatcher is correct.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It is love-hate with her, isn't it? - Absolutely.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I won't try and guess which side of the argument you're on.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK, CJ, what is the title
0:12:06 > 0:12:08of Ian Duncan Smith's novel
0:12:08 > 0:12:13that was published two weeks after he left office in 2003?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23OK, I'll eliminate The Clematis Tree because I think it's Ann Widdecombe.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Between the other two, the problem is of course trying to remember
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Ian Duncan Smith, he just...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Very forgettable, wasn't he?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Er, I don't think he had enough personality to write something called The Devil's Tune
0:12:36 > 0:12:37so I'll for This Honourable House.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Daphne, have you read the book?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- No, I haven't, but I... - You sort of had a moment of, "Argh!"
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I KNOW he wrote The Devil's Tune.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The Devil's Tune is the right answer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- The Clematis Tree was Ann Widdecombe.- Oh, yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55So, CJ, you're behind.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And, Anne, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03John McCain, the 2008 Republican US presidential nominee,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06served as a congressman for which state?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Right. Now...
0:13:15 > 0:13:16It wasn't New York.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's Arizona.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well done, Arizona is correct.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The challengers have taken the round.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And, that means, CJ, you're not in the final.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Good news for our Anti Carrot team!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Do come... Never tire of saying it!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Do come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47The Eggheads have lost one brain. The next subject is Music.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Who from the challengers wants to take on Music?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Who's going to do Music? - I was, but I've done my Politics.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55MUTTERING
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- It's Arthur or Glyn or Jill. - Glyn, it'll have to be you.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- I'll have a go.- Go on, then.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Glyn?- I'll have a go at it. - OK, which Egghead?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Erm, Kevin, I think.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Kevin on Music.- Yes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12So, it's Glyn from the Anti Carrots against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'll ask you three questions on Music in turn.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Glyn, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I'll go second, please.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32Kevin, what was the name of the group who had a UK hit single in 1981 with the Birdie Song?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Do I admit to knowing this?!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I'm afraid I've got to, really - I'm pretty sure it's The Tweets.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46JEREMY LAUGHS
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Please don't ask him to sing it! - Don't sing it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No-one is allowed to sing it! Let's make that clear.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Very little danger of that happening(!)
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The Tweets is the correct answer. Let's just move on!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Mustn't have another word about it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Glyn, in Gustav Holst's suite The Planets,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07which planet is described as the "Bringer of War"?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Well, that would be Mars.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It would be Mars. You're right, well done.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18One point each.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Back to you, Kevin.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Which instrument does Stewart Copeland play in the rock group The Police?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Er, I'm pretty...
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I'm pretty sure Stewart Copeland is the drummer. Yeah, drums.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38He is the drummer. You're right.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Cracking through. Cracking through the round here.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Glyn, your question. Oh! Carol
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen
0:15:45 > 0:15:49were the biggest UK hit singles for which singer?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Huh! Hmm. It's a very good question. Erm...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'll say Neil Sedaka.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Straight in there. Right answer, as well.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Good songs. Kevin, your question.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14The American, Carl Stalling, born in 1891,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16is best known as a composer of what?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25TV commercials in the States would probably...
0:16:28 > 0:16:32To all intents and purposes, really, they would be post World War II,
0:16:32 > 0:16:38which would put him into his fifties around that time.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Cartoon music.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I assume that means for cartoons on the big screen or...
0:16:47 > 0:16:48..television.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Would somebody really be in the business
0:16:51 > 0:16:53of producing national anthems?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56And who would they produce them for? Erm...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'll, on the basis it sounds as though it might be a bit too...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06..a bit too late for him at that age,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'll rule out TV commercial jingles.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Cartoon music is a bit of a nebulous one, because I can't really...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I'm going for national anthems, unlikely as it may sound, I shall go for that.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Interesting question, cos the date seems to rule out anything on celluloid, really.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- But...- But...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- cartoon music is the right answer. - Yeah.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37What is he? Let's think about this. 1891, so he's 30 in 1920.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Was there Mickey Mouse then?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Cartoons started more or less in the thirties, didn't they?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Did they?- Yeah.- Later in his career? - He would've been 40.- Yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Yeah. So, it's more feasible, really, than the others.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52There we are. This doesn't happen very often, Glyn.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Kevin has left you with a way in. Here's your question.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00The Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Opus 53
0:18:00 > 0:18:05also known as The Waldstein Sonata, is a work by which composer?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's not Mozart.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Erm...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I don't think it's Beethoven, so I'll say Bach.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm sorry, you're wrong. It is Beethoven.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26That was your moment, team.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You had him in the sniper's sights!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34OK, we go now off multiple-choice. We go to Sudden Death.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Kevin, your question.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41Which school choir had a UK number one single in 1980 with
0:18:41 > 0:18:43There's No-One Quite Like Grandma?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45We're getting them today, aren't we(!)
0:18:45 > 0:18:46JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:46 > 0:18:50The Birdie Song, No-One Quite Like Grandma.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- It's the St Winifred's School Choir. - Yes, it is. OK, so...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Your question now, Glyn.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00If you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Boy and Under A Blood Red Sky...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09..are early albums by which band?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Well, I'm afraid I don't know much about that sort of music. I'll say Boy George.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Good thought.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Do your team-mates know, by any chance?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21ALL: No.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Rings a bell, but I can't think who would have...- The Stones?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Not the Stones. It's U2.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Oh, U2.- Bono and his mates.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So, Kevin, well done. You have won that round.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34You are in the final.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Glyn, you were beaten.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41You gave him a run for his money, but you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be in the final.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Please come back to the studio.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49The challengers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The last subject is Arts & Books.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Who do you want to take on?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- JILL: It might have to be me. - Jill or Arthur.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- It might have to be me. - Maybe you, dear.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Do you want to do it? - He hasn't read a book in his life!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- I wanted Sports. - You were waiting for Sports?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08He wants Sports, so I'll have to do it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14- So, Jill, you want to play who? You can have Judith or Barry.- Erm...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16My favourite person for this is not here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22I don't know what Barry's weakness is, so I'm tending to be away from him.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Judith is brilliant at it, and the other three have been!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- So, I'll have to have Barry. - Jill, from the Anti Carrots,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31against Barry from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Please go to the Question Rooms now.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Multiple-choice. You can choose the first or second set. - I would like to go second, please.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Here we go, Barry.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Vincent van Gogh was born in The Netherlands, but died in which country?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Ooh, this is one that should be instantly obvious,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58but, for some reason, I'll have to think about this.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02It couldn't... No, it couldn't be Italy or Spain, it must be France.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Said with great conviction.- Yes. - And you're right. Well done.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Over to you, Jill.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Squire Trelawney and Dr Livesey
0:21:12 > 0:21:15are mentioned in the first sentence of which book?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Treasure Island.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Yes.- Mm.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Is it a long sentence, the first sentence?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It gets two references into it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I was quite young when I read this, Jeremy.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31A bit longer ago than I care to remember!
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Erm, I can't remember that, but I know they were there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Back to you, Barry. Who wrote the play Stepping Out
0:21:40 > 0:21:45about a group of people who attend a weekly tap-dancing class?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm not 100% sure on this one,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56but Stepping Out, if it's about people attending tap-dancing classes
0:21:56 > 0:21:59sounds like the sort of thing Willy Russell would write.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01My answer is Willy Russell.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- The answer is actually Richard Harris.- Oh!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Stepping Out was made into a film with Liza Minnelli
0:22:08 > 0:22:09- and Julie Walters.- A while back?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Early nineties, I think.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Bad luck, Barry. Jill, your chance to take the advantage.
0:22:15 > 0:22:22George Bernard Shaw's 1897 play, The Devil's Disciple, is set in which country?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I'm not very sure about this.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Wales. The Devil's Disciple might be about there!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Erm... I'm going to say America.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Very confident play and you're right. It IS America, Jill.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Barry, if you get this wrong, you've lost the head-to-head.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53As what does Toad disguise himself in order to escape from prison
0:22:53 > 0:22:56in Kenneth Grahame's book, The Wind in the Willows?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Does he disguise himself as a...
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Ooh, it would be hard to imagine Toad as a vicar,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08though a blacksmith may be possible,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11but I'm reasonably certain he disguises himself as a washerwoman.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17You're right - washerwoman is correct, so you're equal now.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21If you get this right, Jill, you're in the final and Barry is not.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Great Apes and The Book of Dave are novels by which writer?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I don't think it's Irvine Welsh.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40Erm, I have a feeling it could be Will Self, so I'll go for that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Let's ask the Eggheads if you're right. What do you think?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Daphne?- It's right.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's right. You've got the official word
0:23:49 > 0:23:51from the seer of Weston-super-Mare.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Daphne, it's right. Will Self.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Well done, Jill. Barry, you won't be in our final round. Jill, you will.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01You've taken on an Egghead, emerged triumphant. That's great play.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Please, both of you, come back to your teams.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10This is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:13 > 0:24:15won't be allowed to take part.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20So, Glyn and Astra, from the WACS, the Anti Carrots, and Barry and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23would you please leave the studio?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30So, Jill, Anne and Arthur, you're playing to win the WACS £1,000.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42The questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Anti Carrots, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Jill, Anne and Arthur, do you want to go first or second? - We would like to go first, please.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Here's your first question.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01In tenpin bowling, what does an X symbol represent on the scorecard?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Strike.- No.- Strike, is it?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Strike?- Strike? - Strike for tenpin bowling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We think it's a strike.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Strike, meaning...?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- All ten gone.- All ten down.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17That's right. Strike.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19X marks the spot.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Eggheads, what nickname was given to General Schwarzkopf
0:25:23 > 0:25:27who famously served in the 1991 Gulf War?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Sto...- That is Storming Norman.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Storming Norman?- Yes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yes. I will accept that, even though you've put a G in.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- I wanted to hear you say Stormin' Norman.- Stormin' Norman.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45LAUGHTER
0:25:45 > 0:25:47OK, Anti Carrot.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Which European city was host to football's
0:25:51 > 0:25:562007-2008 Champions League final?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- That was Moscow.- Moscow, was it? - That was definitely Moscow.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07They had that thing about the policing.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Yes. We think it's Moscow.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Yes, Moscow is the correct answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well done. Pressure on the Eggheads.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16OK, Eggs.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21What is the term for the lending of money at exorbitant interest rates?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Usury, yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30That's usury.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Usury. Correct.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Third question. Getting close to that £1,000.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Who directed the majority of the famous series of American World War II propaganda films
0:26:41 > 0:26:44collectively titled Why We Fight?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- I was only five! - I think John Huston.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- It could be John Huston. - I was just a green ration book!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57It could be John Huston but I don't think it's Hitchcock, because I...
0:26:57 > 0:27:02He was working before the war, but I don't think he'd have taken that on.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Frank Capra's later.- Yes.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Huston?- I think it was John Huston.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13John. We think, we're not sure, that it's John Huston.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Or 'Huss-ton'.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's wrong, I'm afraid. Frank Capra.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Never! I thought he was too young.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You were right to rule out Hitchcock.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- He would have had a twist at the end!- Yes, too right.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Kevin, you knew that?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32He was very much involved, he had a proper military rank and that.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35He was very much involved in the propaganda film-making effort.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So was John Ford, actually, he wasn't one of the choices.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Eggheads, you get this right, you've won the game. Here's your question.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Carnatic music, which is predominantly oriented to the voice,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50comes from the south of which country?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- It's India.- It has to be.- Karnataka.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59India.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Why do you think India?- Karnataka.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Karnataka is a place, is it?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Yes, it's a sort of state of India, I think.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07You're quite right, it is India.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So, well done, Eggheads, you have WON!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I knew that one!
0:28:16 > 0:28:20It's been so nice to have you on. Weston is now even more famous for a large carrot.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Yes. - So this might have backfired(!)
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and they reign supreme over Quiz Land once again.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34which means that money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Till then, goodbye.
