These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up The Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognize them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
And challenging our resident quiz champions today | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
are the Northern Lights from West Yorkshire. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
They all work in insurance | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
and decided that, because they all live up north and are quite bright, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
Northern Lights would be a good team name. Let's meet them. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Rich. I'm 29 and I'm a claims validation team leader. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm 29 and I'm a marketing team leader. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi, I'm Nick. I'm 33 and I'm also a claims validation team leader. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm 25 and I'm a customer relations consultant. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 32 and I'm a claims consultant. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
-So, welcome Northern Lights. -Thank you. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
-Good to have you here, Rich. I know you're a fan of the show. -I am, yes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-And beside you is your twin, Rachel. -Yes she is. -Hi. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Non-identical, but born, obviously, at the same moment. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-That's right, yeah. -In fact which is older? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Rachel's older by two minutes. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
And you don't work for the bank that Rich works for, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-but you're in finance as well? -Yes. -So all financial services? -Mmm. -Yes. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:33 | |
Rich, I gather you had an award from your work colleagues for Most Vain Person? Can you explain that? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
I take pride in my appearance and, you know, I like clothes, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
I like nice things and I look in the mirror every now and again, so... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
CJ's not playing today, is he? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
I thought exactly the same. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-I was thinking it's the kind of award he'd be quite jealous of, wouldn't he? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Couldn't stand the competition! | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-That's right, he's left the building. -He's run a mile. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Good luck! I know you're fans of the programme and wish you well. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
So, Northern Lights, the Eggheads have won the last four games | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
which means £5,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
First head to head battle is on the subject of Film & Television. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-That's you, then, yes? -Definitely. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-Go for it, Chris. -Go on, Chris. -Who would you like to play? | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
How about, maybe, Barry? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Barry? -Yeah, we could try Barry. -Yes, try Barry. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
OK, it's Chris from the Northern Lights against Barry from the Eggheads, on Film & TV. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Good luck in this round. I'm going to ask each of you | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
three multiple choice questions on Film & TV in turn. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Whoever answers most questions correctly is the winner. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Chris, your choice. Would you like the first or the second set? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Uh... The first set, please. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Chris. Janet Ellis and Mark Curry were part of the Blue Peter presenting team in which decade? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
If I'm thinking of Blue Peter, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
they'd be pretty much my era and certainly Simon Groom. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
I don't know if they were with him at the time, but... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
So, I'm going to say the '80s cos that's when I was growing up. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
The '80s is right. Well done. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Over to you, Barry. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
What's your record on film and TV? I can't remember. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Poor, but I'm hoping it'll get better. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
The religious travelogue show Highway was regularly presented by which former member of The Goons? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:45 | |
I don't recall having watched this, but the only one there | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
that seems plausible at all must be Harry Secombe. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
So that's my answer, Harry Secombe. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Absolutely right, it's Harry Secombe. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Your question, Chris. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
In which month is the Cannes Film Festival usually held? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
March I'm pretty sure is the Oscars, or tends to be. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
August... | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
The only thing I can think of there | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
is that Cannes would probably be too hot in August for everybody. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
So I'm going to go for May. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
And May is completely right. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Well done, you've got it! Playing well. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Barry, which animated character regularly appeared with Tony Hart | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
in various children's TV series? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
It was the wonderfully wicked Morph and his friend Chav. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Was his friend called Chav?! | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-Chas, I think. -A first recorded use! -Not much difference. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
A first recorded use of that word would have been interesting. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Yes, you're right. Morph is the correct answer. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
That brings you level after two questions. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
So, Chris, keep the pressure on with this one. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
For what type of business did Michael Douglas and Demi Moore work in the 1994 film Disclosure? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
OK, I think the film might have been based on a Michael Crichton novel. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
And I think he's written novels that are based | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
in at least two of those industries. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
But for some reason, I think it's a computer company. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
You're right, computer company it is. Three out of three! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
Barry, over to you. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Which actor directed the 1998 Sandra Bullock film drama Hope Floats? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
Gosh. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Hope Floats. It's one that passed me by completely. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
It doesn't ring a bell with Denzel Washington | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
though I know he has started directing movies. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
For some reason I don't think it's Morgan Freeman. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
So, without any real conviction, I'm going to go for Forest Whitaker. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
But the logic was good. It is Forest Whitaker. Well done. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Three each, over to you. Sudden death now, Chris. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
So not multiple choice - these questions, that bit harder. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
The 1980s TV show, Tucker's Luck was a spin-off from which TV series? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
Grange Hill. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Grange Hill is right. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Over to you, Barry. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
Which 1949 film musical features three sailors | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
named Gabey, Chip and Ozzie, seeking excitement and romance in New York? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Ooh, 1949? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
The only one that comes to mind is Anchors Away. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
-Anchors Away is your answer? -It is. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-It's not that, it's called... Eggheads? -On The Town. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
On The Town is correct. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
Should have known that one. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Daphne is running through the cast, let's get this. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Frank Sinatra... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-Gene Kelly, wasn't it? -..and Jules Munshin. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Oh, Gene Kelly? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Gene Kelly, yup. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
Well, that means, Barry, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
you've lost in this category. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Starting to maybe be a dangerous category for you. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-That's interesting as we're building up Barry's profile. -Don't tell everyone! | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
They'll start picking on Film & TV. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Well done, Chris. You beat an Egghead and did it in a convincing way as well. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
Good news for our challengers - | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
you will play in the final round. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
Do both of you come back and rejoin us here in the studio. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
Our next subject is history. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
History, challengers? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
History... Caroline? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
I think I'd better go for it, guys. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-Go on. -Are you confident? -I'm really confident. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
OK, who do you want to take on? You can't take Barry. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Barry's very good on History, actually, but that's irrelevant now! | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-Daphne? -Can we take Daphne on at History, please? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
Daphne. OK, the sort of beguiling charm can be misleading, here. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
She wears those shoes that villain in James Bond wore - the ones with the points in them. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-No, I haven't got them on today. -Oh, you haven't got them on today? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-What was the name of that person? -Rosa Klebb. -Rosa Klebb. OK, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
So it's Caroline from Northern Lights against Rosa Klebb... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
Sorry... Daphne from the Eggheads. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
Good luck, Caroline. And good luck, Daphne. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
I don't mean to worry Caroline but played 45 History and lost... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
how many, Daphne? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-Twice? -Twice, OK. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on History. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-Caroline, the first or second set of questions? -First, please. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Which is the only surname that's been shared by a US president and a UK prime minister? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
Um... I don't really have any idea. It's not the kind of thing that | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
I've got a lot of knowledge on. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
So, I'm going to have to guess | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
and I'm going to go with Wilson. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Do your team like that answer? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
They like it here. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
It's right. Wilson is correct. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
Could this be number three, Daphne? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Which historical figure is credited with coming up with the idea of Britain's Great Exhibition of 1851? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:35 | |
Oh, that's Prince Albert. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Correct. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Back to you, Caroline. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
1886 saw the founding of the city of Johannesburg after the discovery of what in the area? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
Johannesburg, um... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
I don't think it's gold | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
because I haven't heard of a gold rush to Johannesburg | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
and I don't think it's aluminium for some reason, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
so I'm going to go with oil. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
Oil is your answer. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Could we have guessed this from the name Johannesburg? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
No, it's after a person, is it? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
It's on the Witwatersrand which is the "great gold-bearing reef". | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-Yeah, it's gold, Caroline. -Oh. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
They went there for gold. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
So, Daphne, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
what nationality was Trygve Lie, the first secretary general of the United Nations, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
elected on the 1st of February 1946? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
Oh... I have this problem. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
I read so much so mentally I sort of pronounce things | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
and I've always pronounced it mentally as Trig-vee Lee. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
But he's Norwegian. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
He is Norwegian. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-And it's a "he" as well, yes? -Yes. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
And it's spelt, T-R-Y-G-V-E and then L-I-E. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-Yes. -Well done, Daphne. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
So you need this question now, Caroline, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
to stay in with a chance of being in the final. Good luck. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
Whom did Pope Benedict XV canonize in May 1920? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:22 | |
Um... Again, I haven't got a clue, | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
so I suppose I'll have to have a guess. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
I think I'll go with Francis of Assisi. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
I don't really know why. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
OK, that's wrong, I'm afraid. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
It was Joan of Arc who was canonized 90 years ago. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
So, bad luck. You won't be in the final. Daphne, you will. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Another notch for your bedpost or wherever it is you put them. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-Not on the bedpost. -Somewhere I'm sure, though. Very strong on History. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
The Eggheads have lost one brain as well. Next subject is Sport. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Which one of you wants this? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
The dreaded Sport! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Have you not got a sporting person? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Yes, that was me. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Oh, it was you! What went wrong? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
I think you, Rach, reluctantly. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Very reluctantly. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Reluctantly, Rachel's going to take sport. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
So, Rachel against which Egghead? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Judith doesn't really like sport, does she? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
-I'm thinking Judith. -Although she's better. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-I still think I'll choose Judith. -You're going to choose me? -Yes. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
OK, Rachel from the Northern Lights against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question rooms. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
I'm going to ask you three questions on Sport. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Rachel, you can choose the first or second set. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
I'd like to go for the second, please. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Here we go, Judith. What name is typically given to the facilities | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
for athletes at the Olympic Games? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
Oh, that's the Olympic Village. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
It is. You're right. Well done. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Over to you, Rachel. Good luck. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Which Midland's city gives its name to a sporting contest between rival teams in the same district? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
I believe it's a Derby. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
Is that your answer? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
When Manchester United play Manchester City, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
I know they call it the local derby. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
You're right. 100 per cent. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
Judith, in which sport is the term "borrow" often used when judging how to play a shot? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
I'm trying to think of a sentence to put it in. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
Does a commentator say it on the radio or something? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Or the television? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
I'm sure it's not tennis. I've never heard it in tennis | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
and that's the only game out of those three that I've played. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
What could you borrow? I absolutely don't... I don't understand it. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
But it's a guess. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
I'm going to say golf. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Golf is the correct answer. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
The "borrow" is the way the ball is lying. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-It's the run of the green. -The run of the green. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
OK. So it's nothing to do with borrowing and lending? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
Borrowing a racquet? No. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
-No. Can I borrow your racquet? -No, you can't! | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
Rachel, your question. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
The coach of which national team at Euro 2008 proposed to his girlfriend | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
live on air, moments after his team had been knocked out? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
I have no idea. I don't even know who any... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
I know that the manager of the Croatian team looks quite scary. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
I can't imagine him having a girlfriend cos he looks so scary! | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
I don't know anything about Austria. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
I don't even know if they were in the Euros. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
And I don't know the age of the French manager either. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
I can't even picture who he is. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
I'm going to go for France, on the basis that it is a complete guess. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:17 | |
It was France. You're right. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:18 | |
So, two each. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Go to our third question, now. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
Not a foot wrong so far. Judith, your question. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
Which men's tennis player is known as "the magician" for his deft strokeplay on court? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
The Magician. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Um... I don't know. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
I think... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
Let's try Sebastian Grosjean. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
No, it wasn't. It was Fabrice Santoro. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Your question now, Rachel. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
If you get this right, you're in the final and you've knocked Judith out. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Knocked an Egghead out. Way to go. Here we go. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
Which famous Australian cricketer did Richie Benaud call "the best captain never to lead Australia"? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:09 | |
I don't think I've heard of any of the names, although for some reason | 0:16:14 | 0:16:20 | |
Don Bradman's standing out to me. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
I'm going to discard Ray Lindwall. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
I have no idea why. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
I'm going to go with Don Bradman, go down the middle. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
Don Bradman is wrong. It's Keith Miller. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Oh... Oh, dear. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
So, locked at two points each, we go to Sudden Death on Sport. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
Judith, that's the sort of thing you really enjoy, isn't it? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Multiple choice is gone. I need the answer from you on these. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Judith, here's your question. Sudden Death. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
Who is the only non-British manager to have won the League and FA Cup double | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
in top-flight English football? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
Arsene Wenger. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
Is correct. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:07 | |
-Where did that come from? -God knows! I think it came from Dermot, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
cos he's an Arsenal fan and he goes on and on and on about... | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
Wenger is right. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
OK, Rachel. Your question now to stay in it. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
Which Scottish snooker player is nicknamed the Wizard of Wishaw? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
Um... There's no snooker players coming to mind, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
so I'm going to have to take a stab at one. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
And I wouldn't even know the nationality. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
The only person I can think of is Stephen Hendry, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
who I know is definitely Scottish but I don't think it was Stephen Hendry. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
Um... I have no idea and a complete stab in the dark, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
I am going to go for Mark Williams. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:01 | |
I think your brother knows the answer. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-He probably does. -Higgins. -John Higgins is the answer... from Rich. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
So, sorry. Sudden Death | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
and you've been knocked out, Rachel. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
You ran her close, though. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
Judith, you are in the final after a successful round on Sport! | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
We will put up flags and bunting. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
So both of you please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
while the Eggheads have lost one brain. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
The last subject is Food & Drink, so it's going to be Rich or Nick on this. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
We know it's probably not going to be Rich! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
-This is my least favourite subject. -I'll do it. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-Are you happy to do food and drink? -I'll do it. -OK, Nick... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Nick. Decisive. Suddenly, just straight in. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Considering Richard only eats chips. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Well, there might be a question on chips. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
It wouldn't be three questions on chips. Which Egghead? | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
-Try Kevin cos no-one's... -Shall we try Kevin? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
-Kevin? -Kevin or Chris. -Shall we give it a go? | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
OK, we're going to go with Kevin. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
So, Nick from the Northern Lights against Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
To ensure there's no conferring... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Yes, surprise. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
Your reputation has spread. Please take your positions. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Last round before the final. I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Food & Drink. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
Nick can choose the first or second set. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
Let's go first please, Jeremy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Clotted cream is particularly associated with which area of the UK? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
Clotted cream I am sure isn't Scotland. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
I'm pretty sure it's not the North-East. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
I'm gonna go South-West, please. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
And you're right with South-West. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
South-West is correct. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
Kevin, Souvlaki is a dish consisting of pieces of meat | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
grilled on a skewer from the cuisine of which country? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
Souvlaki is Greek. So, Greece. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
That's right. Greece is right. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Nick, your question. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Which cocktail reputedly invented by a count in Florence | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
is traditionally made with one part gin, one part sweet vermouth and one part Campari? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
So, I'm pretty sure it's not Bellini because that's a Champagne... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
See, Martini... I'm trying to remember what James Bond gets | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
when he don't like it stirred and all that, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
but I'm thinking Negroni because it's kind of Italian-sounding. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
I'm pretty sure it's not Martini, | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
so let's go for Negroni. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-Team-mates? You like that? -We think we like that, yeah. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
Yeah, they've said yes, and I can say yes, too. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Negroni is the right answer. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
Kevin, what kind of dish was a hodge-podge? | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
I think it's just hodge-podge, as the term's come into | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
the general language for a mixture of things all put in together. So, stew. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
And stew is completely right. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
Third question, Nick. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
You're playing well. Good luck. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
The Thai dish Gai Hor Bai Toey consists of pieces of fried chicken wrapped in what? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:25 | |
OK, so I'm not thinking leaves. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
I'm gonna just get rid of leaves. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
I seem to... I associate Asian cooking more with seaweed. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
And pastry, I'm not too sure what filo pastry is, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
but it sounds nice. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
It's Thai. I'm going to say seaweed because that seems more Thai to me | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
than filo pastry. So we'll go seaweed. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Seaweed is wrong, actually. And you shouldn't have ruled out leaves. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:03 | |
OK, your question now, Kevin. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
Third question for the round and a place in the final. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
What name is given in some parts of France | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
to a wine of the most superior grade or the vineyard that produces it? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
Different regions have different ways of classifying, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
but Burgundy, for instance, as well as some others, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
for their top grades they use the designation Grand Cru. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
So, it'll be that. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
It will be that and it is. Correct. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
So, Kevin, well done. And Nick, you were beaten by our Egghead | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
which means you won't help your team in the final round I'm sorry to say. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Both of you please come back to the studio. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
It's time for the Final Round which is General Knowledge. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
But those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
So Rachel, Nick and Caroline from the Northern Lights | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
and Barry from the Eggheads, please leave the studio. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
Rich and Chris, here we are. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
You're playing to win the Northern Lights £5,000. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Daphne, Chris, Judith and Kevin, are playing for something money can't buy - | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
You are allowed to confer. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
Northern Lights, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
So, Rich and Chris, first or second? | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-First worked all right for me. -OK, we'll go first, please. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
Which work by Shakespeare do actors superstitiously refer to as "the Scottish play"? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:40 | |
-Macbeth's the only Scottish one... -Yes, it's definitely Macbeth. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
We're thinking that would be Macbeth, the Scottish play. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
That's right, they don't like to say the word "Macbeth", do they? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Your question, Eggheads. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
What type of road safety features are the puffin and toucan? | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
They're various types of pedestrian crossings. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Quite right. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Over to you... | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Northern Lights. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
Which 1980s pop star won an award | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
for best courtyard garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2005? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:21 | |
Kim Wilde is a horticulturalist now, so it's gonna be... | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
I wouldn't have thought Kate Bush, she's quite reclusive. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Um, Toyah Wilcox... | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
I can imagine she'd be quite... | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
I'm sure she does something else other than her pop career, | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
but I'd be lying if I could tell you what it is. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
-Kim Wilde is definitely a gardener. -Yeah, she's definitely a gardener. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
And she fits in. They're all obviously quite 80s, but... | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
-Are you thinking Kim Wilde? -Yeah. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
We're both aware that Kim Wilde is known now for gardening, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:58 | |
so we'll go for Kim Wilde. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
OK, and you were born, I'm thinking, about 1980, you guys? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
-A little bit earlier than that. -Late '70s. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
So you missed out Kim Wilde's pop career? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-I had the albums. -Did you? | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
-There's one called Close, I believe. -OK. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
But you've caught up correctly with the later part of her career. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
She is a gardener, it is Kim Wilde. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Well done, you're right. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Eggheads, in poetry, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
what does the word "gloaming" mean? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
"Roaming in the gloaming by the bonny banks of Clyde". It's the twilight. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:39 | |
Twilight is right. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
Third question now. This could be crucial. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
You need to get this right, keep the pressure on. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Northern Lights, for what does the letter "V" stand, in the computer abbreviation VOIP? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
HE MOUTHS | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
VOIP. Hang on. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
You could have Voice Operated something, something... | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
Yeah. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
I can't think they would have an acronym for a virus. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:11 | |
Not necessarily something that would be common. If it was... | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
-If I'm thinking... No, you wouldn't, they'd just have daft names. -Yeah. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
Could we just get the question again? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
For what does the letter "V" stand in the computer abbreviation VOIP? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
Computer abbreviation? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Is it language? If it's a language a virus isn't a language, right, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
so we can count that out. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
Voice? I don't think computer is necessarily... | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Well, a computer isn't going to be relying on a voice to run it. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
So...virtual, then. You can set up a computer to run a virtual model | 0:26:45 | 0:26:53 | |
of something and it could perhaps use a language to run that model. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
I'll go with whatever you go with. I'm not convinced either way. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
Virtual, by a very poor combination of process of elimination and guess. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
You started out with the right kind of logic. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
It's Voice Over Internet Protocol. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
So it's voice, it's not virtual. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Third question wrong, let's hope it's not terminal. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
Eggheads, as what were the ancient Athenians | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Kallikrates and Iktinos well-known in their time? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
Architects. Yeah. They were architects, Jeremy. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
If you get this question right, you've taken the money away | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
from our great challengers here. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
You're sure about that, are you? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
-They're responsible for the Parthenon. -It's always a bad sign | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
when you say the answer while I'm still reading the question, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
before you see the choices. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
Architects is correct. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme over quiz land. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000 | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
which means that the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Eggheads, who will beat you? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
£6,000 says they don't. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:20 | |
