0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest
0:00:34 > 0:00:38quiz shows... they are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Eclectic Mix,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46the team are an assortment of family, friends and work
0:00:46 > 0:00:48colleagues who've previously quizzed in different combinations,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52but have now come together to take on the Eggheads. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Nicola, I'm 40 and I'm a tax accountant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Denise, I'm 37 and I'm a retail manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Ben, I'm 29 and I'm an actor.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hello, my name's Linda, I'm 55 and I work in training and recruitment.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 37 and I'm a tax technical manager.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So welcome, Eclectic Mix, nice to see you all.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm trying to work out how you know each other,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19because you all seem to be disconnected.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Denise is my sister, and Denise works with Linda
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and Ben is Linda's son, and right at the very end is Richard, and Richard
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and I used to work together.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And there is strength in being an eclectic mix, Nicola, right?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Because...- Of course there is. - you need every subject covered.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We hope we've done our practice correctly, yes.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- You've been practising?- Swotting up.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Let's see how it's gone, and how it goes. Every day there's
0:01:44 > 0:01:48£1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers, however if they
0:01:48 > 0:01:52fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money, as you know, rolls over
0:01:52 > 0:01:55to the next show, so Eclectic Mix, I can tell you that the Eggheads have
0:01:55 > 0:02:01won the last six games, which means £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04The first head to head battle is on the subject
0:02:04 > 0:02:07of arts and books, which of you wants this?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Arts and books?- Well, that's either me or Linda.- Go on, Linda.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's up to you at the end. - What do you think?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Do you want to stay for the last one?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I don't mind.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- I'm going for it.- Nicola, OK, against which Egghead?- Right,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25who are we picking for arts and books?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Shall we go with Barry?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, we'll choose Barry to go head to head with me.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, Nicola from the Eclectic Mix versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:37 > 0:02:39in the question room?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We're going to play our round now, Nicola, good luck,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45three multiple choice questions on arts and books in turn.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Whoever answers the most questions
0:02:47 > 0:02:50correctly is the winner, and Nicola, your choice,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52would you like to go for the first or second set of questions?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So your first question is this: what is the title of the sequel
0:03:01 > 0:03:04to Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park?
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Is it Congo, The Lost World or The Andromeda Strain?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12My first instinct was to go for
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The Lost World, so that's what I'm choosing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And you're quite right, well done, The Lost World it is.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Barry, Gollum is a character
0:03:24 > 0:03:25in a series of books by which writer
0:03:25 > 0:03:30AA Milne, CS Lewis or JRR Tolkien?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33JRR Tolkien, not a shadow of a doubt.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Yes, they may get harder.
0:03:36 > 0:03:43Nicola, which stand-up comic wrote the hit West End plays Gasping
0:03:43 > 0:03:50and Silly Cow? Was it Ben Elton, Lee Evans or Jack Dee?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think I've read some of the novels
0:03:55 > 0:03:59by this writer, so I'm choosing Ben Elton.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Yeah, a very creative man, and you're quite right, Ben Elton it is,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08novels, plays, comedy.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Over to you, Barry. Which war poet died of septicaemia
0:04:13 > 0:04:19on a hospital ship off the island of Skyross in 1915?
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Was it Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon or Wilfred Owen?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well, I believe Wilfred Owen died
0:04:27 > 0:04:29in the last week of the war, and I don't think it was
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Siegfried Sassoon, so my answer is Rupert Brooke.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Rupert Brooke is correct.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41So two points each. Nicola, which poet and dramatist wrote
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Gypsy Ballads and Blood Wedding?
0:04:44 > 0:04:50Was it Pablo Neruda, Frederico Garcia Lorca, or Mario Vargas Llosa?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Right, unfortunately, this will
0:04:55 > 0:05:00have to be a complete guess and I will go for Mario Vargas Llosa?
0:05:00 > 0:05:06It was actually, I'm sorry to say, Frederico Garcia Lorca
0:05:06 > 0:05:09who wrote Gypsy Ballads and Blood Wedding, so you got that
0:05:09 > 0:05:11wrong, which means Barry,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14get this right, you are in the final round and Nicola is not.
0:05:14 > 0:05:20Here's your question: "The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor
0:05:20 > 0:05:24"without a flutter of the sails and was at rest"
0:05:24 > 0:05:28is the opening line of which line by Joseph Conrad?
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Is it Lord Jim, Nostromo, or Heart of Darkness?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Lord Jim was about a sailor, so I shall go for Lord Jim.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Great use of logic and completely the wrong answer,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44it's Heart of Darkness.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Two points apiece, and that means we move to sudden death.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Nicola, no multiple choice on this, it gets harder. Maggie Tulliver is
0:05:52 > 0:05:56the central character of which George Eliot novel?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Luckily for me, I read this for one of my set pieces
0:06:02 > 0:06:05for my A level exams, and it's The Mill on the Floss?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It is The Mill on the Floss, you're right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So the pressure's on you Barry now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Which term did Douglas Coupland use
0:06:15 > 0:06:22in his 1991 book Generation X to describe a low paid, menial job?
0:06:22 > 0:06:29Ah, I believe he was talking about people who worked in
0:06:29 > 0:06:34places like McDonald's, so I think he would have used the term McJob.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37He did use the term McJob, you're right. Back to you, Nicola.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43Lady Lansing was the working title for which 1895 stage play?
0:06:45 > 0:06:511895 was in the era that Oscar Wilde was writing, so I'm going to take
0:06:51 > 0:06:55a stab in the dark and say Lady Windermere's Fan?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I wish you'd got it, you were
0:06:57 > 0:07:00so close, and you're absolutely right on the author, but it's
0:07:00 > 0:07:02The Importance of Being Earnest.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10Barry, over to you. A famous 1921 play by Luigi Pirandello is called
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Six Characters in Search of... what?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17That's Six Characters in Search of an Author.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19An author is correct, so Barry,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22well done, hard fought round, but our Egghead came through,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26and Nicola, that means you won't be in the final, I'm afraid.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Do please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34So as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final
0:07:34 > 0:07:39round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains. Next subject is politics.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Who is political?- Easy choice.- Yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Off you go, Richard. - Richard on politics.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- My time has come.- And an Egghead you've got to choose now.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51You've got to decide which Egghead to go for.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Who do we think? - Shall we go for CJ?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- We'll have CJ.- Right,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Richard from Eclectic Mix against CJ from the Eggheads, and to ensure
0:08:00 > 0:08:04there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Richard, would you like the first
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- or second set of questions? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So here we go. According to
0:08:15 > 0:08:20the political abbreviation, an MEP is a member of which parliament?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Eastern, English or European?
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Right, it's definitely not English, because there isn't
0:08:28 > 0:08:30an English parliament,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34similarly Eastern doesn't make sense, so it's European.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yes, European is the correct answer, well done.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42CJ, how many general elections
0:08:42 > 0:08:46did Tony Blair win as leader of the Labour Party?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Two, three or four?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54It should be three, but let me just check... 1997, '01 and '05,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56so it's three.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00It is indeed three elections.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02OK, on with your question,
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Richard... which phrase, taken from a children's game, refers to the
0:09:07 > 0:09:12armaments build up that occurs when countries continually try to ensure
0:09:12 > 0:09:17that their weapons arsenal is bigger and better than their competitors?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Leap-frogging, hopscotching or kiss chasing?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I'm going to go for leap-frogging, because it sounds like
0:09:27 > 0:09:30the people are trying to go one above each other in
0:09:30 > 0:09:34how much armaments they've got, so that's my answer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Leap-frogging is your answer, and is correct.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45CJ, who was appointed the Secretary of State for Health in June 2007?
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Was it Des Browne, Alan Johnson or David Miliband?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'm reasonably sure it's Alan Johnson, but I'm just going to check,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56just so I don't make a stupid mistake.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Yes, I think it's Alan Johnson.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12You're right, well done, Alan Johnson's the right answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, two points each. Over to you, Richard.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Edward Tibson's victory in the 2008 Crewe and Nantwich by-election
0:10:19 > 0:10:23was the Conservative Party's first by-election gain from Labour
0:10:23 > 0:10:24in how many years?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Ten, twenty or thirty?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30From Labour,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK,
0:10:35 > 0:10:43well, the last time they won a by-election, and took it
0:10:43 > 0:10:48from another party, was in 1982,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50which was from the SDP,
0:10:50 > 0:10:58and that was, so that would be 1982, 2008, so that's 26 years,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01so if it was taken from Labour, it must have been even further,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04so I'm going to go for thirty.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You know your politics, don't you?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I try.- Thirty years is correct, Richard, well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19CJ, who was Ronald Reagan's democratic rival in the 1980
0:11:19 > 0:11:22US presidential election?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Was it Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis
0:11:26 > 0:11:28or Walter Mondale?
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Well, Walter Mondale was '84, so it's not him.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Carter's the obvious answer,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40because he was the sitting incumbent at the time, the one term president,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46and I've got it in my head that Dukakis is '88,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49but I'm not sure about that,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52so I'm going to go for Jimmy Carter, but I'm not sure.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Jimmy Carter is the right answer, well done,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58who was beaten by Reagan.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- OK, we go to sudden death. Richard, are you ready?- Yep.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06How many years is a standard
0:12:06 > 0:12:11presidential term in the Republic of Ireland?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm just going to go, because it's fairly consistent with European,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18so for example French, I'm going to go for five years.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's longer, actually, seven years.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Seven years. Over to you, CJ,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28get this and you've got the round and you're in the final.
0:12:28 > 0:12:35Who was elected as the second president of Germany in 1925?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Paul Von Hindenburg.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Paul Von Hindenburg is the correct answer, CJ,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47well done, good play by you, you're through to the final. Richard,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50you were beaten by our Egghead there, so you won't be able to
0:12:50 > 0:12:54help your team in the final round, please both of you come back to us.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56The challengers have lost two brains
0:12:56 > 0:13:00from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Our next subject is sport, are you ready for this?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- It's a bit of a no-brainer, isn't it? - It is.- Linda, Ben or Denise?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Judith, definitely.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's Ben, and I think Ben's going to choose Judith.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18All right, Ben from Eclectic Mix versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:13:18 > 0:13:23please go to the question room now.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Ben, would you like the first or second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33So your first question: which snooker player was world champion
0:13:33 > 0:13:36between 1992 and 1996?
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry or Jimmy White?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Right, well, Steve Davis won it a bit earlier than that I think, and then
0:13:45 > 0:13:48he won it a bit later after that, so I don't think it's him.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Jimmy White unfortunately, the hero that he is, has never won it, so I'm
0:13:53 > 0:13:56going to go with Stephen Hendry.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Total conviction, well done!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Stephen Hendry is right.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07Judith, which French defender who earned a record 142 caps during his
0:14:07 > 0:14:10career, retired from international football following his side's
0:14:10 > 0:14:15first round exit at the 2008 European championships?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Was it William Gallas, Willy Sagnol or Lilian Thuram?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Is there really a footballer called Lilian in France?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I've never heard of any of those,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33funnily enough, I mean surprise, surprise, so
0:14:35 > 0:14:40I'm going to go for Willy down the middle Sagnol.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're going for Willy down the middle Sagnol?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yes, I shall scream if it's Lilian!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I know, because you should have just done Lilian for a joke, and everyone
0:14:48 > 0:14:52would have laughed, and anyway it's right, so why didn't you do Lilian?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Lilian is the correct answer. - Oh, I don't believe it!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Yes, he is, OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Ben, your question... in which year did England
0:15:00 > 0:15:04cricket captain Michael Vaughan make his test debut against South Africa?
0:15:04 > 0:15:10Was it 1999, 2001 or 2003?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm going to go for 2003.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18No, I'm sorry, it was 1999.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Letting Judith back in, tennis, Judith... how many
0:15:21 > 0:15:28grand slam singles titles did Virginia Wade win during her career?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Was it one, two or three?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Three.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Is right!
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Well done, so you've come back into it. Third question for you now, Ben.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Which horse ridden by Kevin Manning
0:15:46 > 0:15:52and trained by Jim Bolger won the 2008 Epsom Derby?
0:15:52 > 0:15:58Was it Casual Conquest, Doctor Freemantle or New Approach?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02I'm going to go for New Approach.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well done, you've got it right... New Approach.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Judith, in pool what term is used to describe a foul
0:16:14 > 0:16:17when a player pockets the cue ball?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Scratch, scrape or scrunch?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Maybe it's scratch, because you have to go back to the beginning,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26or something?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm going to say scratch.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32The term used to describe a foul when a player pockets the cue ball
0:16:32 > 0:16:35in pool is scratch, well done.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40So, two points each, and we go to sudden death.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42OK, Ben, your question...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46the Olympic gold medal winning athlete born Frances Morgan Thompson
0:16:46 > 0:16:48is better known by what name?
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Well, I can only think gold medal winning Thompson,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I don't know, so I'm going to hazard a guess with Daley Thompson?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And you're completely right, Daley Thompson!
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Judith again, get this wrong, you're not in the final round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Formula One world champion Jacques Villeneuve
0:17:09 > 0:17:16called off his engagement to which Australian pop star in 2001?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Kylie Minogue.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24You're wrong, but you were halfway right, it was her sister Dannii.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Oh, how annoying!- With two Ns and two Is, Dannii Minogue
0:17:28 > 0:17:31was engaged to Jacques Villeneuve.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So Judith, that means you have lost this round on sport, and that means
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Ben, you will play with your team in the final, so well done to you,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40please both of you, come back to the studio.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43So, this is where we are, the challengers have lost
0:17:43 > 0:17:46two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Last subject is film and television.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52A bit no-brainer again.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Linda or Denise?- Daphne or Kevin?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Do you want to go against Kevin maybe, I'd just give
0:17:58 > 0:18:02a chance of getting him out of the final?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yes, always save Daphne.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- You're that confident, are you? - I'm just saying, you know.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09So Linda's doing this round, she'd like to challenge Kevin.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Linda from Eclectic Mix versus Kevin from the Eggheads, to ensure
0:18:13 > 0:18:16there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Linda, you can choose the first or second set.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So your question, which TV game show offered a consolation prize
0:18:28 > 0:18:30of a chequebook and pen?
0:18:30 > 0:18:36Was it Celebrity Squares, Bullseye or Blankety Blank?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Well, I do remember this, I remember all of those three programmes,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44and it was the famous Blankety Blank chequebook and pen.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yes, it was!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Kevin, your question... who played the title role
0:18:49 > 0:18:54in the American comedy series The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Was it Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence or Will Smith?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Pretty sure that one was Will Smith, so Will Smith.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It is Will Smith, you're right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Linda, which Neighbours' character was washed out to sea and presumed
0:19:11 > 0:19:13dead in 1991, but reappeared five years later
0:19:13 > 0:19:20as an amnesia-suffering Salvation Army volunteer called Ted?
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Was it Harold Bishop, Lou Carpenter or Jim Robinson?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, I did used to watch Neighbours at the time,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I don't watch it any more,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and I'm almost sure it was Harold Bishop.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36That's 100% right, Harold Bishop.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Kevin, "That's all, folks!"
0:19:45 > 0:19:50is the catchphrase of which Looney Tunes cartoon character?
0:19:50 > 0:19:57Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig or Foghorn Leghorn?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's not Foghorn Leghorn,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02it's a long time since I've seen any of these and I'm trying to visualise
0:20:02 > 0:20:06now between Elmer Fudd, the hunter,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and Porky Pig. Do you know, I'm not too sure?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'll say Porky Pig.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Even when you don't know, you know. Porky Pig is right, well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, over to you, Linda.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Who was reportedly paid more than
0:20:27 > 0:20:33a million pounds for his script for the 1991 film The Last Boy Scout?
0:20:33 > 0:20:40Jim Cash, Shane Black or Michael McDowell?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I think I'm going to go for Michael McDowell.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Shane Black is the answer, so if you get this right,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Kevin, you take the round.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56Your question, to what was Arnold Schwarzenegger's surname changed
0:20:56 > 0:21:02in the credits for his 1970 film acting debut, Hercules in New York?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Was it Brawn, Power or Strong?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I'm hoping it might be Power, so I'm going Power.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14CJ knows the answer, which is?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- It's Arnold Strong. - Arnold Strong, Kevin.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21We go to sudden death, Linda, your question...
0:21:21 > 0:21:28who played Max Bialystock in the 1968 film The Producers?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I'm going to say Gene Wilder, because I think he was in it,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37but I'm not sure what his character was called.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Gene Wilder is the wrong answer, it was Zero Mostel.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Kevin, your question, if you get this right you are in the final,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48and here it is. The TV series Porridge and The Likely Lads
0:21:48 > 0:21:51were written by Dick Clement and which other writer?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Ian La Frenais.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Absolutely right.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Kevin has won the round, sorry, Linda, you did almost knock him
0:22:01 > 0:22:04out, it was very well worth trying to do, but as a result Linda,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06you won't be in the final.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Please both of you come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, this is what we've been playing towards, it is time for that final
0:22:14 > 0:22:18round, which as always is general knowledge, but I'm afraid those of
0:22:18 > 0:22:21you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part
0:22:21 > 0:22:25in this round, so Nicola, Linda and Richard from Eclectic Mix
0:22:25 > 0:22:30and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Denise and Ben, you're playing to win Eclectic Mix £7,000,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38we wish you all the best with that. Barry, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're
0:22:38 > 0:22:42playing for something which money can't buy: the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'll ask each team three questions
0:22:44 > 0:22:47in turn, this time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and you are allowed to confer, so Eclectic Mix, the question is,
0:22:49 > 0:22:55are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four brains?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Denise and Ben, first or second?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Here we go, what is the French term for an action that has already been
0:23:07 > 0:23:09completed and cannot be altered?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Is it fait accompli, faux pas or force majeure?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Don't think it's faux pas, faux pas is you've made a mistake.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Fait accompli rings a bell.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23We'll go with fait accompli, yes?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Jeremy, we'll go with fait accompli.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Fait accompli is quite right.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37OK, your question, Eggheads, "Water, water everywhere, nor any
0:23:37 > 0:23:40"drop to drink" is an example of which literary term?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Paradigm, paradox or parody?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It's not a paradigm and it's not a parody.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's a paradox.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That would be a paradox.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Daphne, you're right, it is.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59OK, Eclectic Mix, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo
0:23:59 > 0:24:03and Bette Davis are all mentioned in the lyrics of which Madonna song?
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Like a Prayer, Material Girl or Vogue?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09I haven't a clue.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15- I think it's Vogue.- Vogue is your answer, Vogue is correct, well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20So back to you, Eggheads. In Greek mythology, who was the mother of
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Aeneas?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Was it Aphrodite, Artemis or Athena?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- That's Aphrodite. - I think it was Aphrodite.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Yes, and Pisces was her father, but Aphrodite's the mother.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36That's fair enough.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Aphrodite.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43You are quite right, well done, Aphrodite is the right answer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Third question.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49On average, approximately how many times does a human heart
0:24:49 > 0:24:51beat in a day?
0:24:52 > 0:24:5510,000, 100,000,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57or a million?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I think it's more than 10,000.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I think we'll go with more than 10,000... maybe not?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I think a million, you might be dead.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Yes, I think a million's a bit too fast.- Shall we go down the middle?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Go down the middle, we'll go with 100,000, Jeremy.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16100,000 is the correct answer, so three out of
0:25:16 > 0:25:18three for you, great stuff.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20What is the name of the fictional
0:25:20 > 0:25:24scorer on the radio comedy series, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue,
0:25:24 > 0:25:28to whom Humphrey Lyttleton would frequently allude?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Is it Donna, Priscilla or Samantha?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Samantha.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Yes, Samantha.- Samantha. - Samantha is quite right, you knew it
0:25:40 > 0:25:42before I gave you the options.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45OK, so it's level, we move to sudden death.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Your question, Eclectic Mix...
0:25:48 > 0:25:52which fictional overweight schoolboy with a sister named Bessie
0:25:52 > 0:25:57celebrated his 100th birthday in February 2008?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Billy Bunter? Fat with a little hat? - I'd go with Billy Bunter.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Billy Bunter?- Yes, shall we go with that? We'll go with Billy Bunter.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Billy Bunter is the right answer. - Excellent.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Over to you, Eggheads, which word in the English language
0:26:11 > 0:26:17is derived from the Latin for "That which is to be done"?
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- Amen.- No.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Which word? - Which word in the English language
0:26:24 > 0:26:31is derived from the Latin for "That which is to be done"?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Is it just demonstration?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Maybe demonstration might be a guess.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Because a demonstration, you have to show it.- I'm sure that's not right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Don't you think so?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Well, he's done something like facet?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49No, that's made.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Yes.- We will need an answer. - That which has to be done?
0:26:55 > 0:26:56And in the Latin, that's...
0:26:56 > 0:26:59why isn't it demonstration?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Yes, quad,
0:27:02 > 0:27:08- that which is to be... - Shown, it's a demonstration.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Demonstrate or demonstration?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I think it's demonstration.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16I don't think it is demonstration, but we've got nothing else to offer,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18have we?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23No, as you can see, we're absolutely foxed
0:27:23 > 0:27:28and the only thing we can come up with is demonstration?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- You think it's demonstration? - No, we don't.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- No, we don't.- You don't even think it's demonstration?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- But we can't even think what it is. - You've almost passed,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- you've given me demonstration, have you?- Yes.- That's your answer?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Yes.- OK, and if you get it wrong, you will have been beaten, and
0:27:46 > 0:27:52- our brilliant Eclectic Mix go home with £7,000. You know that?- Yes.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53The Latin word
0:27:53 > 0:27:56is "agendum".
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Oh!
0:27:58 > 0:28:02The answer is agenda. Well done, challengers, you've won!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09What are you going to do with the money?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Give it to my mum and dad!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Ben doesn't pay any rent, so he needs to pay up.- Buy a pacemaker!
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- I'd like to go to the South Pole, but I need more. - You took them to sudden death
0:28:20 > 0:28:23in every round, so you played a really really strong game with
0:28:23 > 0:28:27us today, and I hope you enjoy your winnings, and great to have you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Thank you.- So you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33you've proved they can be beaten,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be
0:28:37 > 0:28:42just as successful. Until then, great game, wasn't it? Goodbye.
