These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
quiz team in the country. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is, can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
their wits against, possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them, as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Challenging our resident quiz champions today | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are the Inspectors. The team are great friends | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
who all work together at RAF Henlow, in Bedfordshire. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
They like to socialise as much as they can, but this is | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
rather limited by the amount of travelling they have to do. So, let's meet them. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Hello, my name's Ian. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
I'm 37 years old, and I'm a chief technician in the Royal Air Force. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
I'm Douglas, I'm 54 years old and I'm an army major. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm Ian. I'm 54 and I'm also a major in the army. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:06 | |
Hi, I'm Greg. I'm 28 and I'm a civil servant. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 39 years old, and I'm a sergeant in the army. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
So, Ian, team captain, and it's military, it's weapons, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
it's inspections... Is that right? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
The name is the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
And at the end of the Cold War, there were several treaties signed between | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
NATO and the former Warsaw Pact. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
We carry out snap inspections on the former Warsaw Pact, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
to ensure treaty compliance. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-Steve, at the end, you speak Russian? -Yep. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
And you go to Russia and look at their missiles? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Not at the minute. Because there's a political problem with the Russians. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
I wondered if that might be the case. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
So we can inspect countries that let us in and we can't inspect ones that don't? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
We inspect countries who've signed up to the treaties. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
OK. And in the middle you've got Ian Hall, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and you're about to emigrate to South Africa? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Yes, after 30 years, 36 years service, my time is up. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
And we've made a family decision to move, and emigrate, to South Africa in the coming months. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
Let's see if we can win you something to send you on your way. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
So, the Inspectors, the Eggheads won just the last game, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
which means £2,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
First head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Film and Television. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Challengers, you can say who'd you like to play, and against whom? | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
For Film and Television, we're nominating Greg. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Who would you like to play? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Greg, you look suddenly confused. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
I'll take Judith, I guess. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
-He shall play Judith. -Greg is going to play Judith. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
So, Greg and Judith, to ensure there's no conferring, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
would the two of you please go now to the question room? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
Greg, your choice. Would you like the first set of questions, or the second set? | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
I'll go first, if I may, please. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
So, here's your first question. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
Woody Harrelson played the barman, Woody Boyd, in which long running American sitcom? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:13 | |
Well, I wasted many happy hours at university | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
watching Seinfeld and Cheers. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
So I know the answer to that one... | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
it's Cheers. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Cheers is absolutely right, Greg, well done. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
First question to you, Judith. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
The philanderer Max Branning was buried alive by his wife in which soap, in March 2008? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:37 | |
Well, that's my soap. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
It's EastEnders. I saw it happen, too. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
It was the most unrealistic plot line I've ever seen, really. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
You're right, it is EastEnders. And I happened to see it as well, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
and they got a lot of complaints about it. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
I should think so, yes. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
I think they call it the moment they jumped the shark. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
One-one. Next question to you, Greg. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
"That plane's dusting crops where there ain't no crops" | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
is a quote from which 1959 Alfred Hitchcock movie? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Well, my father is an Alfred Hitchcock fan... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
has most of the ones on DVD. So, North By Northwest, with Cary Grant. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
Absolutely right. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Can you picture the scene, with the plane in the distance? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Sadly, yes, I've seen it once, or many times. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Well done, you're in the lead. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Let's see if the Eggheads can keep it level. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
Judith, who starred as Gabe Cash alongside Sylvester Stallone in the 1989 film, Tango and Cash? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:46 | |
Absolutely no idea. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Er, Bruce Willis. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
-I'll take that as your answer. -Yes. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-And it is wrong. -Yes. -It was Kurt Russell. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
So, here we are. Your chance, Greg, to take the round. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
In the TV sitcom, On The Buses, what was the first name of the character played by Reg Varney, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:15 | |
the subject of the catchphrase, "I hate you, Butler"? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
I don't actually know. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
I've never seen this series, so it's going to be a wild guess at Arthur. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
Arthur was wrong. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
The guess was a bit too wild. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-Yes. -It was Stan. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Did I get the quote right, there? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-"I hate you, Butler, whaa..." -Chris, do that again for us! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
"I hate you, Butler, whaa..." | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
I don't know if you could hear that, Greg, but it's priceless. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
So, Judith, your question. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Which character is squashed by Dorothy's house in The Wizard of Oz? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
I've never seen that, either. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I think it's the Wicked Witch of the West. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
You're wrong, Judith. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
-Not again. -It's the Wicked Witch of the East. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Oh. -So, after that round, Judith took one point. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
Greg for the challengers took two. Well done, Greg, you took on | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
the might of the Eggheads and you emerged triumphant. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Good news for our challengers, the Inspectors. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Greg, you'll be able to play in the final round today. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Let's see you both back here in the studio, please. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
So, challengers have not lost any brains from the final round. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
The Eggheads have lost their one brain. sorry, Judith. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Next subject is Arts and Books. Who from the challengers would like to play | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
at Arts and Books? And who would you like to take on? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
For this, we shall nominate Douglas. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-Douglas? -Who do you reckon? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Who do you feel confident at beating? -None of them. -Ha, ha! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
-Who do you fancy? -The guy with the initials? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
I think you should take on CJ. As team coordinator, can't call myself a captain, | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
I think you should take on CJ. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
CJ. So, Douglas from the Inspectors versus CJ from the Eggheads. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
Again, to ensure there's no conferring, please, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
both of you, take your positions in the question room. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
So, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Arts and Books in turn. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Douglas, you can choose, first set of questions of second set? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
I'll go second, please. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
CJ, you have the first question. Who wrote the novel Martin Chuzzlewit? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
Tried to get through it and I really couldn't! It's Charles Dickens. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
You're right, it is Charles Dickens. First point to the Eggheads. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
Douglas, over to you. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
What name is given to ornamental work of fine gold or silver wire, formed into delicate shapes? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:51 | |
Well, I haven't got a clue what quilling is, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
and verdigris is sort of a green mould. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
So I guess it's got to be filigree. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
You're correct, it is filigree. One each. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
CJ, which Irish writer whose struggles with cerebral palsy were depicted in the film My Left Foot | 0:08:09 | 0:08:16 | |
wrote the poetry collection, Come Softly To My Wake and the novel Wild Grow The Lilies? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
Yeah, the portrayal in My Left Foot won Daniel Day-Lewis | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
his first Oscar. And it was Christy Brown. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
It was Christy Brown. Well done, CJ. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Douglas, here's your next question. Shakespeare's play Othello | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
is set in Venice and on which Mediterranean island? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
Well, it's not Corsica, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
and I believe it's going to be Cyprus or Crete. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Because that was when the Venetians were fighting the Turks... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
I think it's Cyprus, I think it's Cyprus. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
You're bang on, Douglas, well done. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Very impressive reasoning there. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
OK, CJ, your third question. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
The Cider House Rules is a 1985 novel by which American author? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
Such a relief to have the options. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Because I wouldn't have remembered without it. John Irving. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
It is John Irving, CJ, well done. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
So if you don't get this right, Douglas, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
you will be eliminated from the final round. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Your question... Elephant Song, Warlock and When The Lion Feeds, are novels by which author? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
They all have an African theme, and Wilbur Smith wrote about Africa. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
So I'm going for Wilbur Smith. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
You're absolutely right to go for Wilbur Smith. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
That is the correct answer, Douglas, well done. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
36 years in the Army, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
and you've obviously still had time to read a lot of books. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
My wife reckons I read too much. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
Don't do enough around the house. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
It's serving you very well now. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
So after three questions each the scores are level. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
They're both doing brilliantly, three each. We go to Sudden Death. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
CJ, who became the shortest male dancer ever to be admitted | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
to the Royal Ballet School when he joined in 1966? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
I'd have to assume that's Wayne Sleep. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
That is Wayne Sleep. You're quite right. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
So, Douglas, you're in the Sudden Death zone here. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
The stakes are high. Which European art gallery takes its name from the Italian for offices? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
An escritoire, something like... something to do with a desk. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
So I'm guessing it's the Escorial, outside Madrid. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
That's where I'm going for. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
It's not the Escorial, it's actually... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
Let's just before, before I give the answer, let's see if CJ knows. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
I'd imagine it's the Uffizi. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
In which city? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Florence. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
Florence, it is, yeah. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
The Uffizi in Florence. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
Italian. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Yeah. -European art gallery. Thank you, Douglas, well done... | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
but bad luck, you were beaten by our Egghead. So, as a result, Douglas, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
you won't be able to help your team in the final round. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Would you both please come back, and join your team-mates? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
I hope I don't sense a mood of doom on the Inspectors? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-You didn't want to lose, Douglas, did you? -No. No, I did not. -Ha, ha! | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
The Eggheads have also lost one brain. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
The next subject is Sport. Sport, challengers, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
who wants to play this? And against whom? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-We don't know what's coming next. -Are you happy with Sport? -Yes. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-Go on, then. Yeah. -I'll take that one please, Jeremy. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Ian, you want to take it. And who looks vulnerable? | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Who's cracking under the pressure? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
I'll take the lead and challenge Kevin, please. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Kevin, you want to do Sport? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
Don't think I've got much choice in the matter! | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
You're right! You have no choice. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
It's Ian from the Inspectors versus Kevin from the Eggheads. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Ian, you can choose the first or second set of questions. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
I'll go first please, Jeremy. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
So, here we go. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
Which famous racehorse was buried by the winning post at Aintree, after his death in 1995? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
I didn't think Desert Orchid was dead yet, so I'll rule him out. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
And Aintree's most famously linked with Red Rum, for his three-time win. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
So, I'll go for Red Rum, please. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
You're spot on, well done. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Red Rum it is. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:38 | |
Kevin, in Grand Slam tennis tournaments, a men's single's match is played over how many sets? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
Could go on a bit if it was best of nine. It's best of five. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
Quite right, Kevin. It is best of five. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
Back to you, Ian. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Which British boxer added the WBO belt | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
to the WBA and WBC cruiserweight titles he already held, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:08 | |
when he defeated Enzo Maccarinelli in March 2008? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
Well, boxing isn't one of my strong points. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
The only one of those three names I've heard of is David Haye, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
known as the Hayemaker, I think. So I'm ruling out the other two. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I'm going to go for David Haye. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Brilliant guess, if it was a guess. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
You're quite right, it is David Haye. Next question, Kevin. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
William Fox-Pitt has represented Great Britain in which sport? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
He's an equestrian man, Jeremy. It's three-day eventing. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Quite right, Kevin. So it's neck and neck still/ | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
Eggheads, two. Challengers, two. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Third question. Here we go, Ian. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
The athlete CJ Hunter, who was crowned shot put world champion in 1999, | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
married which sportswoman the previous year? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
I'm ruling out Kelly Holmes, because I don't think she's married. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Maria Mutola, I think she's an 800 metre runner, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
and Marion Jones, a sprinter. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
Not because of sport, but I think because of events off the track, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
I think I've heard his name linked with Marion Jones. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
Well, done, Ian, you're right. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
It was Marion Jones who was married to the athlete CJ Hunter. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
So, Kevin, pressure on you, now. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Let's see if the challengers can strike a blow against the Eggheads. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
Here's your question. Which team became the first Asian winners of the Cricket World Cup in 1983? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
I think they were the first ones, | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
apart from Australia, to win it, as well. It's India. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
Again, total certainty, and you're right, Kevin. Well, done. India. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
So, Eggheads, three. Challengers, three. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
You're level-pegging, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
which means we now go on to Sudden Death. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-Are you ready, Ian? -Yes. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
Doing well. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
Which British sportswoman won gold at the Cycling World Championships in March 2008, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:14 | |
four years after she won an Olympic silver medal in rowing? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
There is one name from the Cycling World Cup that springs to mind. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
Her surname was Pendleton, I think. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
I'm struggling with the first name. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
I think it was Victoria Pendleton. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
That's wrong. It was Rebecca Romero. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
She won gold at the 2005 Rowing Championships. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
-Unusual to do two sports at that level. -Apparently never liked rowing. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
And so she switched over to cycling, for that reason. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Although she was good at rowing, she'd never liked it. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
And who's Victoria Pendleton? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
She's a gold medal cyclist. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-So, on the right track? -Yes, yes. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-As it were. -Absolutely, as it were. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-A close stab. -A close stab, Ian. Not all lost yet, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
remember, because Kevin still has to get this right. Let's see he does. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Kevin, which rugby league team, based in the French town of Perpignan, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
took part in the Super League for the first time in 2006? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
They're doing very well. It's the Catalans Dragons. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
It is the Catalans Dragons. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Well done, Kevin. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
Ian, you were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
As a result, you can't help your team in the final round. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
So, would you both please come back, join your team-mates. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
While the Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject is Music. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
Who from the Challengers will play Music? | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
And who do you want to play against? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
We shall send in the other Ian for this one. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
If you must. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
Who would you like to play, Chris or Daphne? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-Chris, please. -OK. -So, Ian, and you're about to emigrate to South Africa? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
-I am indeed. -If it all goes wrong, you can just leave the country. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
Yes, no retributions. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
It's Ian from the Inspectors versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on Music in turn. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Ian, you have the choice. Do you want the first or second set? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
I'd like to go second please, Jeremy. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
So, Chris, what was the title of the1978 UK Number One hit single for The Village People? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:31 | |
Well, SOS. was by ABBA. DISCO was Mattawan, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
so it's YMCA. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
It's fun to stay at the YMCA. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
You're right. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-Was it Ottawan? -Ottawan, yeah. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-Did you say Mattawan? -No, Ottawan. O-T-T-A-W-A-N. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
OK, well, you're right about YMCA anyway. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
First blood to you. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Ian, in which section of an orchestra would you find the flute? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
I don't think it's percussion, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
because I don't think you hit a flute. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
I don't think it's brass. Therefore I will go for woodwind, please. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:17 | |
You're right, it is woodwind. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
And you definitely don't hit a flute, if you want it to work. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
Chris, who was presented with an Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the 2008 Brits ceremony? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:32 | |
I don't think Paul McCartney was in very good odour at the time. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
And I don't think Sting's been presented with anything. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
But, sort of an elder statesman of guitar rock, I'd say it would be | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Eric Clapton. So that would be my answer, Eric Clapton. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
You're wrong. It wasn't Eric Clapton, Chris. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
-It was Paul McCartney. -Was it? -He was obviously in better odour | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
than you remember. Maybe you're mixing him up with his ex-wife? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-Possibly, yeah. -Not easily done. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
-Not these days. -So, Paul McCartney won the Outstanding Contribution to | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Music and that means, Ian, you have a chance to pull away now. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
Which musician won five Grammy awards in 2002, for her debut album, Songs in A Minor? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:19 | |
Was it Alicia Keys, Rihanna or Mary J Blige? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:27 | |
My daughter will be sitting at home, screaming out the answer. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
I'm not in the least certain as to which one it is. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
But I think it's Alicia Keys. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Why do you think it's Alicia Keys? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Because I like the sound of her name. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Ha, ha, ha! | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
You're right, it was Alicia Keys. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
So, two to the challengers. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Chris, what name is given to the style of jazz | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
that was pioneered by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, in the 1940s? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Scat, bebop or Dixieland? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
Well, Dixieland is the original New Orleans jazz. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
And Scat is a vocal style, so it's bebop. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
It is bebop, Chris, well done. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
Ian, win this | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
and you've got the round. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
With whom did Prince duet on the 1980s UK hit singles, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
The Arms of Orion, and You Got the Look? | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
I'm not completely certain, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
but I believe Prince had some form of relationship with Sheena Easton. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
And therefore, I'm going to plump for her. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
You're right, it was Sheena Easton. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
Brilliant bit of guesswork there, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
on the Alicia Keys and the Sheena Easton. And that means, Ian, | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
that you've taken on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
So, very good news for our challengers, the Inspectors. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
So, you, Ian, will be able to play in today's final round. Congratulations on that. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
So, please both come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
So, this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
But I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-heads | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
can't take part in this round. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
So, Ian and Douglas from the Inspectors, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
would you please now leave the studio? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
Ian, Greg and Steve, you are playing to win the Inspectors £2,000. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Daphne, CJ and Kevin, you are playing for something which money can't buy... | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
The Inspectors, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:58 | |
Ian, Greg and Steve, you can choose the first set or the second set... You say? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
-Going to go first? -First set, yeah. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
-First. -We'd like to go first please, Jeremy. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
So, here we go. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
The Penguin and The Joker are arch enemies of which superhero? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Batman. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-Sure? -Yeah, I've seen the films. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-All agreed? -Yeah. -We're all agreed, it's Batman. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
You're quite right, it is Batman. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-In the military, you love your superheroes? -Absolutely. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
First question for the Eggheads. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
Jim Henson was the creator of which TV characters? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
It's about your lookalike, so go on. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-They're the Muppets. -You're right. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Is CJ being mean to you? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
-Yes. -Not unjustly! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
I don't think you look like a Muppet, OK? | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
In that outfit. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
Your second question, Inspectors. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
The lev is the unit of currency in which country? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
-It's definitely Bulgaria. -You sure? Certain? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Yup, definitely. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
OK. We're all agreed that it is Bulgaria. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
It is Bulgaria. Steve, you said that with conviction, you've been there? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
I have. It was a long time ago but I can remember. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
How many levs to the £? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
-It was millions. -Was it? -I needed the calculator. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
You're right. The lev is the Bulgarian unit of currency. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:34 | |
Eggheads, the Roman goddess, Ceres, | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
was a deity principally associated with what? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
The Roman goddess, Ceres, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
was a deity principally associated with what? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
That would be crops, agriculture. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
It is crops and it is Ceres, and well done, you're right. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
Neck in neck in our final round, here. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
Inspectors, how you feeling? Is it getting to you? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
No. Feeling fine, thank you. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
And, by the way, if you win, we're going to pay you in levs. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Which unpopular politician was directly responsible | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
for the expansion of motorways in the UK, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
the introduction of premium bonds, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
trunk telephone calls, parking meters, traffic wardens | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
and yellow line parking restrictions? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Who was that person? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
It was the 1950s, wasn't it, the motorways? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
-He was obviously a very unpopular man. -Yeah. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
It's not Roy Mason, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
because Roy Mason was the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
Wilfred Paling, I've never heard of. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
The guy I think it is, is Ernest Marples. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
-I don't know. -I don't know either, so go with your choice. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
I've got a sneaking suspicion that I remember Marples | 0:24:54 | 0:25:00 | |
doing something with motorway roads, when I was, sort of, a teenager. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
So, we're going to plump for Ernest Marples. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Great logic, it is Ernest Marples. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Well done. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Your team-mates are applauding behind you. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
We call him unpopular but some of those things sounded OK... | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
-The premium bonds and all that? -I've never won one, so... | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Yeah, they're unpopular if you don't win. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Eggheads, which photographer shot a series of pictures of Marilyn Monroe | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
in 1962, six weeks before her death, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
that have collectively come to be known as the Last Sitting? | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-Bert Stern. -I think I know... | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Which photographer shot a series of pictures of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
six weeks before her death, that have collectively come | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
to be known as the Last Sitting? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
Bert Stern's the only one I know definitely photographed her. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
Do we know the other two did, or not? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
I don't think Helmut Newton did. He was famous for his male nudes. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
-Stern was the one right before her death? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-Let's go for that. We know he did her. -Think so, yeah. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
Bert Stern. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Bert Stern is the correct answer. Well done, you got it right. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
So, Eggheads, three, challengers, three. Scores are level. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
Doing well, challengers. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
We go now to Sudden Death. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
And remember, to make it that bit harder, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
these questions are not multiple choice. Here we go, Inspectors. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Who played the title role in Ron Shelton's 1994 film, Cobb, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
a biopic of the baseball player, Ty Cobb? Who played the title role | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
in Ron Shelton's 1994 film, Cobb, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
a biopic of the baseball player, Ty Cobb? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
-Never even seen it. -Not a film I've seen. -Never heard of it. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
-Haven't seen it. -1994, 14 years ago. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
It's not Kevin Costner, is it? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
No, he was in Field of Dreams. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
I'm struggling. Who else was famous in that time? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
-1994? -It wouldn't have been Stallone or Schwarzenegger. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
And it wouldn't have been Willis. Kurt Russell? | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
Harrison Ford? | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
No, I don't think Harrison Ford's a sports fan. Could be wrong, though. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
We'll just have to guess. Say again? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
Patrick Swayze or Kurt Russell, or something? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
Kurt Russell? | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
-With no degree of certainty, Jeremy, we're going to say... -Kurt Russell? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
-Yeah, why not. -Kurt Russell. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
It's not Kurt Russell, it's Tommy Lee Jones. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
To take the contest, which English county hosts the world-famous | 0:27:33 | 0:27:39 | |
Cooper's Hill cheese rolling contest, which sees participants | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
chase a large lump of cheese down a 200-yard slope each May? | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
Well, I live in the West Country, so it's always on the news. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
And if you see them rolling down... | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
Oh, sorry, it's Gloucestershire. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
But, I mean, they ought to hurt themselves more badly than they do. | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
-Is your answer Gloucestershire? -Yes. -Our answer is Gloucestershire. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
Eggheads, well done, you've won. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
Great quizzing, Inspectors. Brilliant logic and guesswork, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
all combined, and knowledge, too. Commiserations to you, | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
