These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Hello, and welcome to the 500th edition of Eggheads, the show where | 0:00:22 | 0:00:28 | |
a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
They are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
They've certainly proved that over the last 500 editions. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
The club was an idea hatched by the team in their local pub as a way of | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
allowing them weekend passes away from their wives. Let's meet them. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
Hello. I'm Andy, I'm 41, and I'm a company director. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hello. I'm Chris, I'm a 45-year-old marketing consultant. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Hi. I'm Gavin, I'm 41, and I'm an HR consultant. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Hi, I'm Jay, I'm 45, and I'm a managing director. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Hi, I'm Keith, I'm 48, a graphic designer and a retained firefighter. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, welcome to you. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Of course, when I describe the weekend pass concept, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
mums across country throw crockery at the TV! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
They know what you're up to! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
I think they've rumbled us, yes, Jeremy. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
But, officially, what does the club actually do? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
It's primary function is to help facilitate the gaining of passes from wives and partners | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
to give us an excuse to go away to far-flung reaches of Europe, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
and, hopefully, one day, to the Copacabana, to play beach Frisbee. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
So you go onto beaches and you play Frisbee, and the shirts are designed to make it all look highly official? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
Yeah. Having said that, the Frisbee playing hasn't even happened. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
It tends to peter out at the first step. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
It's a special show for us - 500. We've had 2,000 head-to-heads, | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
and you might be interested to know that 35 challenging teams have won in that time. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
Does that sound like good odds to you? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-Yeah, we'll take them. -OK, good luck. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
It's great to have you here on what is a special day for us. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
There is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
the challengers won the last game, proving it can be done. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
First head-to-head battle is on music. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Who wants this? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-I'll go for it, shall I? -El capitano? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-Jeremy, I'll go for that one, thank you. -OK, Andy. Against which Egghead? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
-Now... -This is the original line-up, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
of course, the one that went through nearly all the programmes. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-Shall we take Kevin? -OK. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Um, I'll take Kevin, please. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
OK, Andy from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions in the question room. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
So, 500th show, Kevin. What do you think is the reason for | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
the success of this show, without meaning to seem immodest about it?! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
I think the main thing about it is it's pitched at a level that | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
will appeal to many different groups. We find that all ages watch this, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
and because of the range of different categories that we've got, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
there's something there for everybody, hopefully. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
And we love quizzing in this country. Andy, do you quiz together, you CBFCers? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
We quiz together very occasionally, and I mean once or twice a year, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
PTA quizzes and the like. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
We're not serious quizzers, but we're always up for a challenge and that's why we're here. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
Let's see how you do against Kevin. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
So, Andy, you can chose the first or second set of questions. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
First, please, Jeremy. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Andy, here's your first question. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
High Fidelity, Starmaker and Friday Night were hits in the 1980s | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
for the cast members of which TV drama series? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
Well, I know Ant and Dec came from Byker Grove, and they had | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
a few minor hits. Grange Hill had the very strong anti-drugs song. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
And being a teenager of the '80s, I'm embarrassed to say I did own | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
-a pair of burgundy leg warmers, and it was Fame. -Fame is right. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Fame is the right answer, well done. So your question now, Kevin - | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
The composer Joseph Haydn was born and died in which country? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
He was from Austria. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
You're quite right, he was. Back to you, Andy. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
Silk And Steel was the title of a best-selling album | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
by which group made up of members of the same family? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
Mmm... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
I don't think it was Sister Sledge, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
I've got an awful lot of Sister Sledge vinyl. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Something's telling me, again from the '80s, I think it's Five Star. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
I've got one Corrs CD. I don't really listen to it, to be honest with you. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
Yes, Jeremy, I'm going to go with Five Star. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Well done, you've got it right, Five Star. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Kevin, your question. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Which group did Carl Barat form after he left the Libertines? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
Don't know. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Hmm. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Pete Doherty went on to Baby Shambles. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm trying to think how long the others might have been around. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
Now, when would he have left the Libertines? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
For some reason I'm drawn to Dirty Pretty Things, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
but I'm just thinking they might have been around before the break up | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
of the Libertines. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
Because the Pigeon Detectives are the most recent of those, | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
I'm going to go for them. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Oh. Unhappiness on your team. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Daphne, you know your pop music. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Yeah. It's Dirty Pretty Things. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Kevin, it's Dirty Pretty Things. It's been confirmed by Daphne. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
-My first instinct was right then. -Yeah. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
So, challengers, if you get this right, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
you've got the round. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Which character appears in repeated lines in the traditional folk song | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
Widecombe Fair? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
Get this right, you get Kevin out early on, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
which is always an amazing feat. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
That's the target. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
I'll be honest with you, I don't know. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
So I'm going to try and work through these with some kind of logic. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
A fair? Who would go to a fair? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
A waggoner would. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
A poacher would because being on the wrong side of the law, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
he'd be looking for an angle, I suppose. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Having said that, I'm going to go for Uncle Tom Cobley. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Uncle Tom Cobley is your answer. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-It is. -Kevin has won his last 52 entertainment rounds. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:36 | |
If you know him out, you'd be making | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
a little bit of history on this historic edition of Eggheads. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
Is your answer right? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
Old Uncle Tom Cobley... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
does appear in Widecombe Fair. Well done, Andy. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
And, Kevin, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
I don't say this very often, you will not be in the final. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Well, Andy, you made it look easy there, but it's not, we know that. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
If I got Kevin's questions, I wouldn't have stood a chance. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
But I didn't, and I won. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
And you'll go back home and you'll listen to your Five Star album now. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
-Maybe not. -OK, as it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
The Eggheads have lost one. The next subject is science. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Which of the challengers wants science, and against which Egghead? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
Well... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
It was going to be me or Jay, wasn't it? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-Go for it. -You'll be all right. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
It's between you two, then. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
-I'll do science? -Are you sure?! | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
-Are you sure? Only if you're sure. -OK. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-Yeah, I'll do it. -Jay, please. -Against? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
Anyone but Kevin. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-It's got to be Judith. -Judith, please. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Right, Jay from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-Judith, science has been hit and miss for you, hasn't it? -It is. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
I think it's been win one, lose one, win one, in that sort of order. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
You've been worrying about science and you've been | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
reading the periodic table. Have you got to the end of it yet? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Well, it sort of sits in front of you, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
rather like an atlas, a map would do. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
And I try and remember. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
It's all pretty colours. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Pink and green and yellow and things. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
And this being our 500th show, Judith, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
just take something like the periodic table, comes up a lot? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-Yes. -If you know that, you can answer a lot in science? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
Yeah, it's the basis of chemistry, really, it's the table which tells you all about chemistry. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
Let's see how you both do. Jay, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
I can ask whether you want the first or second set of questions now. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
I will go first. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Here we go. Reverend John Russell was responsible for developing | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
a now popular new breed of which animal in the 19th century? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
Well, erm... | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
I have one of each of these, actually, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
not that that helps me at all. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Cat... Whilst I have one, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
I don't know anything about them. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Goldfish, ditto. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
Russell, I can only assume... | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
that his first name was Jack, and it was the Jack Russell dog. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
So I will go for dog. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
The clue was in the question, you're quite right. Jack Russell, dog. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
Judith, your question. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
In geometry, how many degrees are there | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
in each internal angle of an equilateral triangle? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
60. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
You're right. 60. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Over to you, Jay. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
The Italian-born French astronomer Giovanni Cassini | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
gave his name to the division he discovered | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
between sets of what around the planet Saturn? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
Moons, asteroids, rings... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
The only thing I know about Saturn... relate to rings. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:24 | |
So that is my only point of reference on this one. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
I will go for rings. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
And rings is right. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Well done. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Judith, your question. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
Galvanised steel is steel coated | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
with which other element to prevent corrosion? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
I think that is zinc. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-Your answer is zinc? -Mm. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
And you're right. Playing a good round here, both of you. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
Third question now. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Jay, which number is represented in international Morse code | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
by five dashes? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
Five dashes? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
I think Morse code... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Obviously, one of the things that was required of it was that it was | 0:12:26 | 0:12:32 | |
quick...quick to send. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
I would have thought the number ten...would have a shorter code | 0:12:37 | 0:12:45 | |
for that because that's going to be used quite often. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Would 100 be used less, generally? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
I could be completely off on this, but... | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
..I'm going to go for 100. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
I follow the logic completely, I see where you were going, | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
but you haven't got the right answer, I'm afraid, it's zero. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Which means, Judith, if you get this question right, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
then you've won the head to head. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
The Saros cycle, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
with a period of about 18 years, 11 days and eight hours, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:26 | |
is used to predict what? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
I think earthquakes are unpredictable. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And so are typhoons, aren't they? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
I would imagine it must be eclipses, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-which are predictable. -Eclipses? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-Yeah. -That's the correct answer. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
Bad luck to you, Jay, you were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
the final round, and the Eggheads have lost one brain. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
The next subject is film and television. Who wants this? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-Big fella? -Who is stepping into the breach? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-That will be me, Jeremy, please. -Gavin, OK. Against? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
-Who do we fancy? -What do we think? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Who do we think? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Go for Chris? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-Chris? -No, he's quite good at that. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
Daphne. Daphne. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Daphne, please, Jeremy. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
Gavin from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
against Daphne from the Eggheads. Please, go to the question room. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
All right, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on film and television in turn. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
You've done a few of these over our 500, haven't you, Daphne? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
I certainly have. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
Do you look back and think the show | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
has really developed and it's changed your life in some way? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
Oh, it's certainly changed my life. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-And you get e-mails from around the world, I gather? -Oh, I do. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-USA, Canada. Everywhere! -Gavin, you lived in Australia, yeah? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:09 | |
-Yeah, a few years ago. -And can you understand why Eggheads would be big Down Under? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
I think they have a similar quiz culture to us in the UK. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
OK, Gavin, would you like the first set of questions or the second set? | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
First, please, Jeremy. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
Here's your question. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
Good luck. In Only Fools And Horses, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
what was the name of the car salesman married to Marlene? | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
Right. Well, I don't think it was Baxie. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Or Biggsie. And, in fact, I do know it was Boycie. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Boycie it was. Well done. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Daphne, here's your question. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
The film Cat Ballou, starring Jane Fonda, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
was originally released in which decade? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
You know I hate dates! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
I have no idea. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
I just can't... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
I know the film, I know who was in it. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
But I've no idea when it came out. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
70s. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Usually, Daphne, you do your "I've got no idea" routine | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
and you guess, unerringly, the right answer, | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
and I'm shocked to tell you that you're wrong. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-Oh, bother. -I rarely see your guessing misfiring. -Was it 60s? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
60s is the right answer! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Not 1970s. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
The 500th edition has thrown you. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Your second question, Gavin - Which actress played the character | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
Joey Potter in the TV series Dawson's Creek? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
Right. Oops. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
I have to admit, Jeremy, that I've never seen Dawson's Creek, | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
but, hopefully, can make an educated guess. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Sarah Michelle Geller, I think, was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Shannon Doherty, I think, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
was in Beverly Hills nine something or other. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
So I'm going to go for Katie Holmes, but it is a guess. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
You're a quizzer at heart, you've got it right. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Fantastic. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
Daphne, you need to get this question correct to stay in. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
Here we go. Clint Eastwood played the role of Frankie Dunn in which 2004 film? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:33 | |
Oh, God, I don't know this either! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
You see, I haven't seen any of these, and I've no idea of the year. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:52 | |
So it makes it pretty much an eenie, meenie, minie mo answer. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:58 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
I shall go for... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
SHE SIGHS DEEPLY ..Space Cowboys. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Space Cowboys is your answer. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Daphne, sorry, it's wrong, it's Million Dollar Baby. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
So, Gavin, well done! Very efficient work. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
How about that? The Frisbee Club is showing what it's made of here. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
You took on an Egghead, you beat Daphne, she won't be in the final, you will be. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
Please, come back to us now. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
So, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost two brains. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:36 | |
There are £1,000 to play for. Last subject is geography. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
Who, from the challengers, | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
will be playing in this round, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
and who would you like to take on? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
Keithy boy is going to fall on his sword. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
Keith, please, Jeremy. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:51 | |
Keith, our graphic designer. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
You've got CJ or Chris. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Who looks lost? Who looks disorientated? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Who looks like they're mapless? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
It's CJ, isn't it? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
Yeah. OK, it's CJ. So it's Keith from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club against CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:18 | |
And to ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
CJ, the 500th show, and you've loved every minute. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:28 | |
Most of the minutes. I haven't loved those ones where I've lost, so I've enjoyed about a quarter of the show. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
But you've met great people and you are a very good loser. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
When you lose, and it all goes wrong, you take it in good heart, | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
you don't get depressed. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
Well, I've had enough practice, so hopefully by now. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
OK. Good luck to you both. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:46 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on geography in turn. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
Keith, would you like the first set of questions or the second set? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Can I have the first set, please? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
Here we go. Which part of New York City is | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
most famous for its amusement park? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
I think...it's not Yonkers. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
I believe I saw a film with this on. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
I believe it's Coney Island. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Coney Island is correct. Well done. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
Over to you, CJ. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
500th show. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Try to look happy. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
-JEREMY LAUGHS -After which character | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
is the main airport serving Doncaster and Sheffield named? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Oh. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
I'm just having a moment of doubt. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Yeah, it would make more sense if it was Nottingham. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
But I think Doncaster's Robin Hood. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
That's right, it is Robin Hood. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Well done. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
OK, Keith. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Which civilisation built Fosse Way, a road running from near Exeter | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
through Bath to Lincoln? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Obviously, the Romans are very famous for their roads. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
Also, we have Roman baths. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
So I'm going to go for the Romans, Jeremy. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
Great answer, you're right. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
CJ, your question. Willapa Bay is a feature of which county | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
of the US state of Washington? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
So, counties within a state now we are going to? Wonderful. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-The Eggheads are laughing. -I'm not. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Oh, of course. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
How are we spelling Willapa? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
W-I-L-L-A-P-A. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
I'm not going to go for Cheese County. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Pacific County just seems a little too obvious to me. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
I don't know this, but I am going to employ that old quizzing axiom - | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
if you don't know, it's an antelope. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
So, I'm going to go for Antelope County. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-JEREMY LAUGHS -OK. Antelope County is your answer. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
The correct answer is Pacific County. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
All right, question three. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Get this right, Keith, you're in the final and CJ isn't. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
And he might be a bit glum. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
The Kingdom of Kandy, K-A-N-D-Y, is a former name | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
for a region of which modern-day country? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Now... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
I don't really know this, I'm afraid. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
I don't think it's New Zealand. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I don't think it's Indonesia. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
I think it's Sri Lanka, Jeremy. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
Just from instinct? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
Pure instinct. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
CJ, why have you started waving? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Cos Sri Lanka is, unfortunately, the right answer. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
It is, fortunately for our Frisbee Club, the right answer. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
Well done to you, Keith. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
You are in the final. You took on one of our Eggheads, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
you emerged triumphant. Bad luck, CJ. It was the old antelope rule. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Never use that again. Congratulations, Keith. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
So, it's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
won't be joining your teams in the final round. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Jay, from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club and Kevin, | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
So, we've had 2,000 head-to-heads in the history of Eggheads. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
Our 500th edition and here we have a challenging team | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
that's doing very well indeed. Andy, Chris, Gavin and Keith, | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
you are playing to win the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club £1,000. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
Judith and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:27 | |
Slightly depleted crew today. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:34 | |
The questions are general knowledge, you are allowed to confer. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, the question is | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
So Andy, Chris, Gavin and Keith, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
would you like to go first or second? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
First please, Jeremy. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
Here we go. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:54 | |
Established in 1939, Little League is an international organisation | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
for children and teenagers playing which sport? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
-It's baseball. -It is baseball, isn't it? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
It's baseball, Jeremy. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Baseball is the right answer. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Eggheads, your question. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
In traditional Punch and Judy shows, what is the name of the dog? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
-It's Toby, Jeremy. -Toby is correct. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
"Oh, poor Toby's dead!" | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Toby's right, well done. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Second question to you guys. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
In England, the Queen's Proctor is an official who performs | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
certain activities commensurate with those of what profession? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
-Surgeon? -Surgeon, do we think? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
Surgeon, Jeremy. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
Your answer is surgeon? | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
The correct answer is solicitor. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
The Queen's Proctor is solicitor. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
OK, Eggheads. Your chance to pull ahead. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Lorelei, famous for its echo and its association with a water nymph | 0:26:05 | 0:26:12 | |
who lured sailors to destruction, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
is a large rock on the bank at the narrows of which river? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
It's on the Rhine, Jeremy. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Near Bingham, if memory serves. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
The answer is Rhine and you are correct, Eggheads. So... | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
here's the deal, guys - you need to get this question right. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
Which American singer was dubbed the first lady of song? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:42 | |
My first thought is Ella Fitzgerald. But now Billie Holiday has come in... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
It's definitely not Washington, is it? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
-Don't you think? -Do you think it is? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
Have you got a fix on the ages and the periods? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday are the same period. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
Billie Holiday first and then Ella Fitzgerald. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
No, it's got to be Billie Holiday. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
She is first. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
-Yeah, but she wasn't known as the First Lady. -Who was, then? | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Billie Holiday was known as, erm... | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
She had a different handle. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
So, who do we think? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
-I think it's Washington. -OK. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I haven't a clue. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
Only because I think the other two have got different... | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Handles. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
You call them. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
OK. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
We're not sure, Jeremy, as you can probably tell. Um... | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
We don't think it's Billie Holiday, she has another name. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
For the life of us, we can't remember it. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
We think it's Dinah Washington. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
But we're really not sure. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
The answer, I'm sorry to tell you this, | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
is Ella Fitzgerald. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
So, the last couple of questions | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
have not been kind to you | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
and that means Eggheads, congratulations, you've won. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
Commiserations to our challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
They reign supreme over Quizland once again. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
You won't be taking the £1,000, so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:26 | |
Who will beat you? | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
£2,000 says they don't. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
