0:00:04 > 0:00:08These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:28 > 0:00:32their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:39You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Taking on our champions today are Meet Your Waterloo
0:00:41 > 0:00:46from Hampshire. The team all quiz together at the Waterloo Arms in Lyndhurst
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and are so successful that
0:00:48 > 0:00:53the other teams no longer applaud them when they win! Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Lynne. I'm 61 and I'm a retired home care manager.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Gordon.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm 60 and I'm a retired power generation engineer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Liz.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm 48 and I'm a resettlement worker.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm John. I'm 45 and I'm a transport operations manager.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Dave. I'm 43 and I'm a rating auditor.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18So Lynne, they don't applaud in the pub any more when you win?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22No, I'm afraid not, no. It's more or less a great deep sigh, really.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24This is the same reaction these guys get!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Yeah, but I don't think the standard is quite the same!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And Lynne and Gordon, you're partners, and then Liz and John,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33you're married?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36So, Dave, you're the gooseberry?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Yes, yeah. I live with somebody, but I don't actually play on the
0:01:41 > 0:01:44same team as them, so I'm one of the ones that boos from another team!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49We usually come second quite often to their team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, that's a high recommendation.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Good luck, because you're really up against the mighty champions today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:01:58 > 0:02:01challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09So, Meet Your Waterloo, the Eggheads have won the last six
0:02:09 > 0:02:15games, which means £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Challengers, which one of you wants to play this round, and against which
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Egghead? Tell us. Food & Drink.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Do you want me to do it?- Yeah. - I think I'll do that, Jeremy.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Which Egghead looks the most susceptible here?- Can I take on Kevin, please?- All right.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, from Meet Your Waterloo it's Lynne, versus,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39from the Eggheads, Kevin.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take
0:02:41 > 0:02:45your positions in the question room?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Lynne, your choice. Would you like the first
0:02:47 > 0:02:49set of questions or the second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Lynne, your first question comes now. What name is given to a mixture
0:02:57 > 0:03:01of oil, wine, spices or similar ingredients in which meat, fish or
0:03:01 > 0:03:06other food is soaked before cooking in order to flavour or tenderise it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK. Thank you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I don't think it's a roulade because
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I think that's round, I don't think that's a liquid thing at all.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Compote, I think,
0:03:20 > 0:03:25tends to be sort of fruity, so I think I'll go for marinade.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Marinade is your answer?- Yeah. - And you're 100% correct.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Good start, Lynne.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, Kevin.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37What type of food is a guava?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's a fruit, Jeremy, a type of fruit.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You're right. It is fruit. Well done.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Lynne, are you ready? Second question. Here we go.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52In France, a pate de Paques
0:03:52 > 0:03:55is traditionally served at what time of the year?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Can you spell Paques for me, please?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05P, A with a little hat on, Q, U, E, S.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Mmm.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I'm not sure about this one.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I'll rule out Christmas, I think,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and go for...
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Easter.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26That's the correct answer. Well done.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Kevin, your question now.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Which small, round cake, made of
0:04:30 > 0:04:34buttery, flaky pastry, with a filling of currants, was reputedly invented
0:04:34 > 0:04:40by the cookery writer Elizabeth Raffald during the 18th century?
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Well, Sally Lunn was invented supposedly by Sally Lunn, so...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55How did you describe it again? Small, round...?
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Small, round, made of buttery, flaky pastry, with a filling of currants.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03That seems to describe an Eccles cake to me, so I'll go for that.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You're right, Kevin. It is the Eccles cake.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Eggheads doing well, keeping abreast of the challengers.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, question three for you, Lynne.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Dishes described as a la Montmorency
0:05:16 > 0:05:19are prepared with which fruit?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Well, I've never heard of an apple called a Montmorency, so I think I'll
0:05:27 > 0:05:28rule that out.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I'll go for pears.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Look of incredible concentration on your face. It's really an amazing...
0:05:37 > 0:05:38You were mesmerised by it!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Pears is the wrong answer, though.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42It's cherries.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, to take the round, we go over to Kevin.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Which shellfish shares its name with the morsel of meat found on either
0:05:49 > 0:05:53side of the backbone in poultry?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Well, the only one there that I've heard of as a term relating to
0:06:00 > 0:06:08internal bits around the kidneys is oyster,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09so I'm going for oyster.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Your answer is oyster,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16and it is the correct answer, Kevin. Well done to you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And Lynne, you were beaten by our
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Egghead, so as a result, you'll not be able to help your team in
0:06:23 > 0:06:26the final round. Would you both please come back and
0:06:26 > 0:06:27join your teams?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33So as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36whilst the Eggheads have lost none. The next subject is Music.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Who from the challengers will be playing in this round
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- and who would you like to take on?- Dave?- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- OK.- Happy, Dave? - Yes, I'll take it on.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Dave, it's you, is it? Who would you like to take on from the Eggheads?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- I would say Chris.- Chris.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So, it's Dave from Meet Your Waterloo
0:06:52 > 0:06:56versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Dave, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I'll try the first set of questions, please.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The first question for you, Dave. Who sang
0:07:11 > 0:07:15the Oscar-winning song Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)
0:07:15 > 0:07:18in the 1956 film The Man Who Knew Too Much?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28OK. I think I've only ever known Sophia Loren to sing one song,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32and it certainly wasn't that, and I certainly believe it was too
0:07:32 > 0:07:36early for Marilyn Monroe, so my answer is Doris Day.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Impeccable logic.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41You're quite right, Dave. Well done. First point to you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Next question to you, Chris. Gary, Howard, Jason and Mark are the
0:07:48 > 0:07:50four members of which band?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Ye gods! Well, boy bands come about
0:07:56 > 0:08:00somewhere just below football clubs on my scheme of things!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I don't think they're Westlife - they're Irish lads, they'd have
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Irish names. Don't think it's Coldplay.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'd say it's Take That, but with no great hopes of success.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You've got it, actually. Take That.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Well done.- Oh, right!- All right. Next question to you, Dave.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17You're doing well.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Who had a UK number-one hit single in 2008 with Mercy?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm afraid this really isn't my
0:08:28 > 0:08:33sort of music at all, but I think I'm gonna have to guess at Duffy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Brilliant guess. You're right. It is Duffy.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Next question to you, Chris. Who wrote the 1932 song Mad About The Boy?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Yes, which was originally to be sung by an epicene
0:08:52 > 0:08:54young man. It was Noel Coward.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Quite right. It was Noel Coward.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So, Dave, a lot riding on this.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Live elephants have been used on stage in productions of which Verdi opera?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Again I think I'm gonna have to guess this one, totally.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21I'll go for La Traviata, with no confidence at all.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25La Traviata with no confidence, but some elephants?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Maybe!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I'm afraid it really would be an accident if there were elephants
0:09:31 > 0:09:34in that! It's actually Aida, Dave.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So, Chris,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39you now can win this round if you get this right.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Which musical by Stephen Sondheim features the songs I'm Still Here
0:09:44 > 0:09:45and Losing My Mind?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Well, it's not Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think I remember hearing Julia McKenzie
0:09:57 > 0:09:59sing those songs in Follies, so I would say
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Follies is the answer.- And you sound quite certain about that.- Mmm.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You're right to be certain. You're correct, Chris. Well done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So, Dave, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13As a result, you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the
0:10:21 > 0:10:24final round, whilst the Eggheads
0:10:24 > 0:10:28have lost none. The next subject is History.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Who from the challengers will play in this round,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and who would you like to take on, Waterloo? You've got Daphne,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36CJ and Judith to choose from.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's gonna be me, Jeremy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It looks like it's gonna be you, John!
0:10:42 > 0:10:49- Judith's quite good at History. - I'm gonna take on CJ.- CJ on History.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- And the shirt! - A shock, isn't it, really(!)
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- You always get done for this one!- That's because I'm so amazingly young!
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Of course! So, it is John from Meet Your Waterloo versus
0:11:03 > 0:11:05CJ from the Eggheads.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Please take your positions in the question room.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10OK, John.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn,
0:11:13 > 0:11:18and, John, you can choose whether to go first, with the first set of questions, or the second set.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm gonna go second, please, Jeremy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24So, CJ, the first question to you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30Which building was constructed in the fifth century BC on the Acropolis of Athens?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I will be there in two weeks!
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Both the Colosseum and the Pantheon are in Rome, and it's the Parthenon.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45You are quite right, CJ. Well done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49OK, John. What term is usually applied to the
0:11:49 > 0:11:51period that started in Britain
0:11:51 > 0:11:56two days before World War II, in which no light was to be seen at night?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It's definitely not fog, but I do seem to remember
0:12:04 > 0:12:07something in the war called the blackout,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- so I'm gonna go for blackout. - Quite right, John. Well done.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17So, level pegging here, and back to our Egghead, CJ, with your question.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy and John Wright were three of the
0:12:21 > 0:12:24five main conspirators of which historical rebellion?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, I'm gonna use a bit of, hopefully, logic here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I don't know those names,
0:12:34 > 0:12:40and I know the main conspirators in the Peasants' Revolt.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42And I think
0:12:42 > 0:12:47I know the two or three main conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51so simply on that basis I'll try the Boston Tea Party.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's actually the Gunpowder Plot. - It is? Oh, dear!- So, John,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58the initiative is in your hands.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02In British history, which monarch was the second surviving son
0:13:02 > 0:13:05of James VI of Scotland and Anne of Denmark?
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I'm not so good with kings and queens.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm pretty sure it's not Charles I.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'm not sure. I'm gonna say William IV.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25William IV is wrong. It was Charles I, and
0:13:25 > 0:13:28the first one you ruled out, as well.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32All right, CJ, your chance to take the advantage.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The Boston Massacre in which an angry mob was fired on by British
0:13:35 > 0:13:40soldiers and five lives were lost took place in which century?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The 17th, the 18th or the 19th?
0:13:43 > 0:13:48I'm just checking because the soldiers who fired on the crowd
0:13:48 > 0:13:51were defended by John Adams, the second president.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The day that occurred to me,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Even though I might make a fool of myself, is 1803.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I know the soldiers who fired into the crowd
0:14:01 > 0:14:05were defended in court by John Adams, who was the second president,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08but I'm hoping it was after he left office,
0:14:08 > 0:14:13so I'm going to go, and hope, it was the beginning of the 19th century.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Amazing amount of facts came out there...
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- The wrong answer... - But the key one was wrong!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- It was the 18th century.- Oh, dear!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It was actually in 1770!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- That early!- Funnily enough, so you're a little bit adrift there, CJ.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So, John, this is your moment.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30The whole team here are on
0:14:30 > 0:14:34tenterhooks, I have to tell you, but no pressure! Your question.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Which Archbishop of Canterbury whom Elizabeth I affectionately referred
0:14:38 > 0:14:40to as "my little black husband"
0:14:40 > 0:14:44was the only person she wanted with her on her death bed?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Was it Whitgift, Cranmer or Laud?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'm beginning to think they should have put somebody else up for this!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm gonna go for the one that I know, which is Cranmer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00It's probably wrong, but...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You said Cranmer. It's actually Whitgift,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07so you are still at one each out of your three
0:15:07 > 0:15:10questions, so all is not lost, John.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13We will now go to sudden death and just to make it that bit
0:15:13 > 0:15:17harder, these questions will not be multiple choice. CJ, are you ready?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, joy!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You obviously are!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24What was the name of the capital of the Assyrian empire destroyed
0:15:24 > 0:15:30by the Babylonians and the Medes in 612 BC?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm not sure if...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I think that's Assyrian.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I'm gonna try Niniveh.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Yeah, you're right. Brilliant stroke.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So John, let's see if you can hang on in.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Which 17th-century King of Sweden through his successful foreign and
0:15:48 > 0:15:53domestic policy laid the foundations of the modern Swedish state and made
0:15:53 > 0:15:56it a major European power?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03I don't know. I'd have to say Olaf, but it's a guess.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It wasn't Olaf. That wasn't his first or last name. It was...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10in fact, let me ask you, Eggheads. Do you know who it was?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Gustavus Adolphus. - Gustavus Adolphus.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16All right, well, Eggheads, you triumphed in that round.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Sorry, John, you held on there brilliantly.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You were beaten by our Egghead.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22As a result, John, you won't be able to help your team in the final
0:16:22 > 0:16:28round, so would you both please come back and rejoin your teams?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29So as it stands, the challengers
0:16:29 > 0:16:32have lost three brains from the final round whilst the Eggheads
0:16:32 > 0:16:33still haven't lost any.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37The last subject is Arts and Books.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39This time who from the challengers wants to play and
0:16:39 > 0:16:42against whom from the Eggheads?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45We've got to stick to our strategies. Yes. We have a strategy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48We have to stick to the strategy and unfortunately, I'm the sacrificial
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- lamb who is mopping up the last head to head.- Listen, you can still win!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55You could still win, don't worry. Who do you want to play against?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You've either got Daphne or Judith.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- I'll take on Daphne, please. - Daphne, Arts and Books.- Lovely!
0:17:01 > 0:17:05So Gordon from Meet Your Waterloo versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:17:09 > 0:17:15OK. I will ask each of you three questions on Arts and Books in turn.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Gordon, you do get to choose whether you take the first set or give that
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- to Daphne.- I'll go second please, Jeremy.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Daphne, your first question.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28What name is given to the area on either side of stage
0:17:28 > 0:17:32where dancers or actors wait before making their entrance?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Is it the Wings, the Stalls or the Flies?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, I've watched my granddaughter so often
0:17:40 > 0:17:44come in from the wings of the stage.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46You're right... It is the wings of the stage. Well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48First question to you, Gordon.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52What is the term for the art of producing decorative handwriting?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Is it Calligraphy, Cardiography or Choreography?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well, I'm so relieved!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I know what a cardiographer does...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05it's to do with heart measurements.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Choreography would be dancing, so calligraphy
0:18:08 > 0:18:11is decorative handwriting.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- That's my answer. - Spot on. Great answer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Well written.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17One-all.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Daphne, in the Harry Potter books,
0:18:19 > 0:18:24what is the name of the son of Vernon and Petunia Dursley?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Is it Dennis, Dudley or Damon?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Well, I haven't read any, but I have watched
0:18:30 > 0:18:33the films with my grandchildren and
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- it's Dudley.- You're right... it's Dudley. Well, done.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Your question, Gordon.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43What was the profession of Agatha Christie's second husband,
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Sir Max Mallowan? Was he a lawyer, a doctor or an archaeologist?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I don't know how to eliminate the other two other than to say
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I don't remember him being a doctor or a lawyer. I have a feeling
0:18:58 > 0:19:03he was an archaeologist and that Agatha Christie used to go along to
0:19:03 > 0:19:09some of the digs that he was at, so my answer is archaeologist.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Quite right. Well done.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Daphne, Sir Jacob Epstein was a famous name
0:19:17 > 0:19:19in which branch of the arts?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- Was it photography, sculpture or theatre?- Oh, he was a sculptor.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27You are right. He was a sculptor.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Gordon, with it poised three to the Eggheads, two to the challengers,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35you really need this.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41Who wrote "The Periodic Table, A Collection Of 21 Meditations,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44"Each Named For A Chemical Element"?
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Primo Levi, Umberto Eco or Jean-Paul Sartre?
0:19:52 > 0:19:57The reason I'm taking my time on this is that I have actually
0:19:57 > 0:19:59read this recently,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but like a lot of stuff I've read recently,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05it's the first thing to go out of my head. I'll take the first one...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Primo Levi.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12You dredged it up brilliantly! Well done, Gordon, it was Primo Levi.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well, OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20We go to sudden death, don't we, so it's 3-3 between the two of you.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Still no signs of any cracks in Daphne's armour.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Let's see what happens. Daphne, "Sinners"
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and "The World is Full of Divorced Women"
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- are best-selling novels by which writer?- I don't know!
0:20:33 > 0:20:39It sounds a bit like Jackie Collins, so I'll take Jackie Collins.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- I don't know how you did it, but Jackie Collins is right.- Is it!
0:20:42 > 0:20:48- 100% correct. - It sounded like her.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Gordon, your question now to stay in the round.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Who wrote the popular children's book, "Stig of the Dump?"
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Yes, I remember there was a series on the television but I have no idea
0:21:03 > 0:21:08who wrote it, so I'll say Roald Dahl
0:21:08 > 0:21:12but I'm not expecting that to be the answer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It's not Roald Dahl.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Eggheads, do you want to tell us? CJ, who wrote it?- I can't remember!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23It's actually Clive King who wrote it, Clive King.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Well, done, Daphne. Gordon, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed
0:21:43 > 0:21:47to take part in this round, so, Lynne, Gordon, John and Dave
0:21:47 > 0:21:49from Meet Your Waterloo,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53would you please leave the studio?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56OK, Liz, you are playing to win Meet Your Waterloo
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- £7,000 and you're all on your own. - Looks like it!
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- It looks a bit lonely over there. - Just a bit!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Eggheads, you are playing for something which money can't buy... the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14This time the questions are all general knowledge and you are
0:22:14 > 0:22:18allowed to confer! That's just my little joke!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Liz, the question is,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five brains,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29and would you like to go first, or second? You can decide that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I've always said in this position I'd go second, so I'm gonna go first.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38All right. Your first question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Which type of dog, Liz, has breeds known as German shorthaired,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46German longhaired and German wirehaired?
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Is it Spaniel, Pointer or Poodle?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56OK. I did hope you were going to say something like dachshund
0:22:56 > 0:22:58as one of those options.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Poodle, no... Poodles are woolly, they're not hairy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm just gonna have
0:23:05 > 0:23:09to plump for...
0:23:09 > 0:23:10pointer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Well, it is lonely there on your own, but well done, you're right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Pointer is the answer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Question one for the Eggheads.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22What name taken from the French for "broken on the wheel"
0:23:22 > 0:23:26is given to a debauched, usually elderly man?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Is it Roue, Fop or Libertine?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33What name taken from the French for "broken on the wheel"
0:23:33 > 0:23:36is given to a debauched, usually elderly man?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- That's a roue.- A roue?- Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43You're quite right. Well, done.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45One point each.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Liz, you're still in there.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Belgrade is the capital of which country, Liz?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Bulgaria, Serbia or Croatia?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK. Belgrade...
0:23:55 > 0:24:00was the capital of Yugoslavia when I was growing up and at school,
0:24:00 > 0:24:05so it's going to be one of the former Yugoslav republics,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07so that's not Bulgaria.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I am going to...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12go for...
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Serbia.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You're right. Well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I nearly changed my mind then!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25My heart! You had my heart pounding there!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Good grief!
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Eggheads, the heir-apparent to which European throne holds the
0:24:32 > 0:24:37title "Prince of Asturias?"
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Spain, United Kingdom or Belgium?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43We all think it's Spain.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47You're correct, it is Spain. Eggheads, well done. So it's 2-2.
0:24:47 > 0:24:54Liz, in 2003, who became the first player in history to have won the
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Champions League Trophy with three different clubs?
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Was it Gennaro Gattuso, Edgar Davids, or Clarence Seedorf?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I can only guess that Champions League is football.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I mean, I'm that clueless really.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I'm gonna go for Clarence Seedorf.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23If you don't get this, and they get their next one... You're out...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- But you've got it right... - You're joking!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The line "I'm gonna guess the Champions League is football"
0:25:32 > 0:25:35may be one of the classics, as it came before the correct answer!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Well done! I don't know how you did it!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40That's brilliant!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43OK, Eggheads, here's your third question.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47"The best lack all conviction while the worst
0:25:47 > 0:25:49"are full of passionate intensity"
0:25:49 > 0:25:53is a quotation from a poem by which writer?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Is it TS Eliot, WB Yates or HG Wells?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02It sounds like TS Eliot. It's probably TS Eliot with them.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03So does it say a quotation from a work?
0:26:03 > 0:26:09It's a quotation from a poem by which writer?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12It's not Wells.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It sounds like Eliot, it's his sort of thing, but...
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I think it's from The Wasteland, isn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's an Eliot rhythm.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Well, it sounds like his sort of depressing dirge.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's not mystical enough for Yeats really, is it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30If you get this wrong... then Meet Your Waterloo...
0:26:30 > 0:26:35I think Eliot is what we all think. It's from the Wasteland, yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Watch it be Wells now!- OK. Are we agreed?- Should know it really.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Do we agree?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Go for Eliot.- OK.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We all think it's TS Eliot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- You all think it's TS Eliot? - We all hope it's TS Eliot!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Great tension here. Meet Your Waterloo,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54if they've got it wrong, Liz,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58playing on your own, you will have taken the prize. Five Eggheads
0:26:58 > 0:27:05we had on this quote from a poem widely regarded as the greatest of
0:27:05 > 0:27:08the 20th century by WB Yeats.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yes!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Challengers, you have won!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Honestly, I can't believe what I've just seen!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- What was the poem? - The poem is the second...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and just because I happen to know this, "The Second Coming"
0:27:25 > 0:27:30by WB Yeats, which starts "Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34"Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world".
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And I'm looking at all of you and you're blank...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- I've never seen those expressions! Liz, well done!- Oh, thank you!
0:27:40 > 0:27:46What an astonishing result! Are there recriminations happening here or what?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49No, no, it's just one of those things that we should have got.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- That's the sort of thing we should have got.- We absolutely should have
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- got it.- It's purely just on the day. - Well, here it is.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56For the second time ever, the "Eggheads"
0:27:56 > 0:27:59have been beaten by one person on their own. Brilliant strategy then.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04You decided to go on last because you've got wider knowledge?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Yes, I mean... - There was a strategy, was there?
0:28:06 > 0:28:11There was a strategy. I mean I know a little bit about a lot of things.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I'm not really a specialist in anything, so.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17So your team held back the secret weapon until now, basically!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It's the art of the lucky guess, I think, or the educated guess a bit, maybe.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Maybe, subconsciously, I've got that name Clarence Seedorf stored there,
0:28:26 > 0:28:31just for this moment, you know.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Congratulations to Meet Your Waterloo. You have won £7,000.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Join us next time on Eggheads to see if the new team of challengers
0:28:43 > 0:28:45will be just as successful.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Until then, goodbye.
