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 quiz team in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:16 | |
The question is: can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
You might recognise them. They are Goliaths in the world of TV quizzes. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Taking them on today are Jack High, friends and family who all belong to the same bowls club. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:47 | |
-Let's meet them. -Hi, I'm Alan, 64, a retired prison officer. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
Hello. I'm Coral, I'm 70, and a retired civil servant. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi. I'm Jonathan, I'm 47, and I'm a civil servant. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Hi. I'm Keith, I'm 59, and an independent financial adviser. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
Hi. I'm Andy, I'm 39, and I'm a spare parts co-ordinator. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-You're all bowlers. -Indeed. -And Jack High is a bowling term. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
It's when the jack is bowled down the green, the skip places it, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
and when the first bowler bowls his wood, it arrives level with the jack. That is jack high. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
You all have fascinating and very different interests. Andy's gone on 300 rollercoasters. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:35 | |
There or thereabouts, yes. Around the UK and Europe and a lot of the United States. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:41 | |
-Do they get more or less scary? -The rides get more intense as technology improves. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:47 | |
-Best one in the world right now? -Probably at Cedar Point in Ohio. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
-Been on it? -Been on it. 120mph, 400-foot straight down. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
We'll see if we can reach higher speeds here. Good luck. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. If they fail, that rolls over. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:10 | |
So, Jack High, the Eggheads have won the last 10 games | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
so £11,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on Food and Drink. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Challengers, who will play this one? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Right, who wants to do it? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
I'm happy to do it. You are? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-All right, Andy. -OK, I'll play it. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-Andy, food and drink. -Food and Drink. -Pick an Egghead. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
-Chris. I'll take on Chris. -So it's Andy from Jack High versus Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
-Andy, the first or the second set? -I'll go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:00 | |
OK, what is thick brown residue that is the by-product of sugar refining? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:09 | |
Em... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Caramel is thick and brown, but it does go brittle. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
Palm sugar I've not heard of. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
I'm going to go for molasses. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
It's the correct answer. Well done. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Chris, marmalade is traditionally made from oranges from which Spanish city? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:38 | |
Marmalade is traditionally made from oranges from which Spanish city? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
They are Seville oranges, Jeremy. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
You are quite right. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
Second question, Andy. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Parasol and Blewit are varieties of which foodstuff? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
I have to admit I have not heard of either of them. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
Em, it's going to be a complete and utter guess. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
I'm going to go for mushroom because it could be a parasol shape. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
-Mushroom. -Great deduction. You're right. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
Chris, which salad, created at the Brown Derby in Hollywood in 1937, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
traditionally contains chicken, bacon, eggs, Roquefort and avocado? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
Well, Greek salad is traditional. It's got feta in it and wouldn't be created in '37. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Waldorf salad was created at the Waldorf Astoria and has apples and celery, so it's a Cobb salad. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:56 | |
Quite right. The Cobb salad. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Two points apiece. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Which traditional pudding is made with sweetened milk and rennet? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:08 | |
Right, I... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Junket, I think, is curds and whey. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I'm going to go for posset. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Have you eaten any of these recently? -I haven't eaten junket since I was about six years old. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:31 | |
When you ate junket, it had sweetened milk and rennet in. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
Junket is the correct answer. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
So, Chris, for the round, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
what type of food is served at a Brazilian churrasco? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
Hmm, interesting. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Well, given that they are sort of tropical, and they are fairly carnivorous, | 0:05:55 | 0:06:01 | |
the sort of thing you could do in the open-air on an impromptu basis... | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
I'd say barbecued meat. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
Spot on, Chris, well done. Andy, beaten by our Egghead there. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:14 | |
As a result you cannot take your place in the final round. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
Come back and join your teams. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, the Eggheads have lost none. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
Next is Film and Television. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Who from Jack High wants this? And against whom? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-I think it looks like me, doesn't it? -I think it does. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
Are you happy with that? Yeah, I'm relaxed. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
-Jonathan, you sound robust. -I'm good for this one. -Confident? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-Pick one. Not Chris, obviously. -I think I am going to take on... Daphne, please. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:56 | |
Daphne on Film and Television. Daphne from the Eggheads against Jonathan from Jack High. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:02 | |
Please both take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
-Jonathan, a civil servant... -Right. -You've travelled extensively including Las Vegas how many times? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:15 | |
Five times now, Jeremy. Just the whole buzz about the place is fascinating. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
-You're up against Daphne. Do you want to go first or second? -First. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:27 | |
How did Captain Mainwaring typically refer to Private Pike in Dad's Army? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
One of the all-time classic catchphrases there. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
It was in my time. The answer is, "Stupid boy!" | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
Absolutely right. Well done. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
"You stupid boy!" | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Daphne, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
what was the colour of the famous book in This Is Your Life? | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
That would be the big red book. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Well done. Held by...? -Well, I remember Eamonn Andrews. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
Yes, he was the most high profile. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
One point each. Jonathan, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
which actor provided the baby's voice in the 1989 film Look Who's Talking? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:26 | |
Oh, I haven't seen the film, I haven't seen the film. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
I know Tom Hanks has done, I think, a voiceover in Toy Story. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:37 | |
I'm going to go for Bruce Willis, Jeremy. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
And you're right! It was. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-Pressure's on, Daphne. How are you feeling? -Ohh(!) | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
In the 1951 film The African Queen, what is the African Queen? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:58 | |
They don't make films like that no more, do they? It's a boat. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
It is a boat. Well done. Two points each. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
Final question for you, Jonathan. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
In what type of workplace was the 1990s BBC comedy The Brittas Empire set? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
OK. One that I did watch over the years. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
A classic in how not to be a manager. A leisure centre. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
Yes, it was. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Daphne, you need this or you will not be playing in the final round. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:46 | |
Which former Premiership footballer appeared in the 2006 film Basic Instinct 2? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:55 | |
I think this is bye-bye, Daphne, because I really don't know. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:05 | |
Stan Collymore. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-Is that your answer? -Yes. -Why did you guess that? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
I just guessed it. I can't see Paul Ince | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
and Graeme Le Saux I don't think, so I'm just hoping it's... | 0:10:19 | 0:10:25 | |
-Is it? Put me out of my misery! -It IS Stan Collymore! | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-Oh, thank you! -Well done! They know so much, their guesses somehow get better. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:36 | |
You've answered three questions each. We now go to sudden death. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
Just to make it harder, these will not be multiple choice. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
Who was the director of the 1970s films The French Connection and The Exorcist? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
Oh, I'll think about this one. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-I need a first name and a surname. -I'm getting the name William. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
Exorcist...French Connection. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
I'm... Is it...? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
William... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
I'm trying to get it. William Friedken, Friedkin? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
-William...? -Friedkin. -You're spot on. Well done. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:23 | |
That is the director's name. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
William Friedkin. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
So, Daphne, which American film star first came to prominence as Inspector Steve Keller | 0:11:27 | 0:11:33 | |
in the long-running 1970s police drama The Streets of San Francisco? | 0:11:33 | 0:11:39 | |
Oh, dear. It's one of two. I can't remember which is which. Michael Douglas. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:47 | |
-Is the right answer. Who else? -Karl Malden. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
Karl Malden, that's right. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
Jonathan, which actress starred in the Talking Heads TV plays entitled A Cream Cracker Under The Settee | 0:11:55 | 0:12:02 | |
and Waiting For The Telegram? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
I recognise A Cream Cracker Under The Settee. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
Thora Hird. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Spot on. It was Thora Hird. Brilliant play! | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
By our bowler. Well done. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
Which actress won an Oscar for her role in the 1989 film My Left Foot? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:34 | |
Brenda...Blethyn. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
-That's your answer? Brenda Blethyn? -Yes. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
-It's wrong. -Is it? -You can hear CJ here, who is obviously in some physical pain. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:50 | |
-It is Brenda Fricker. -Oh! -Before that, best known as...? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-She was in Casualty! -Yes. As Nurse Megan Roach. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
Yes. Oh, blast! | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
So, Jonathan, what superb play! | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
You emerged triumphant. Good news for our challengers. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
That means you will be able to play in the final round. Congratulations. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
Both of you rejoin your teams. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
The Eggheads and the challengers have lost one brain each. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
The next subject is Science. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
Who wants to take this on? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I think that might be down to you. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-Yes, it's not one of my... -Not one of mine, either. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
I think it's you, Keith. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
< Go for it. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-Keith, who do you want to take on? -Judith. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
So Keith from Jack High versus Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
Please go to the Question Room. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Keith, do you want the first set or the second set? -I'll go first, please. | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
Science questions. The prairie dog is a type of ground squirrel native to which continent? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:11 | |
I don't know the answer, but I've never seen one in Europe on my travels. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:20 | |
I think I'll go for North America. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
Quite right! That is the right answer. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Judith, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
what is the machine that uses electric and magnetic fields | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
to propel electrically-charged particles? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
I think that's probably a particle accelerator. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
You want conviction. A particle accelerator. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-I've given up asking for conviction. -A particle accelerator! | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
That's it! Well done! You've done it. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Which highly-flammable colourless gas is commonly mixed with oxygen | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
and used as a fuel in welding? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Well, I think butane is normally the camping-type containers we use for stoves. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:22 | |
Acetylene is the answer. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
It is the answer. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
You're right. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
Judith, to keep up. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
What name is given to a triangle of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two | 0:15:32 | 0:15:38 | |
immediately to the left and right of it in the row above? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
I shall read that question again. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
What name is given to a triangle of numbers | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
in which each number is the sum of the two immediately to the left and right of it in the row above? | 0:15:54 | 0:16:03 | |
-I think it's Fermat's Triangle. -Ever seen one? -No. -It doesn't exist. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
-It's Pascal's Triangle. -Oh. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
Keith, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
water and what else are produced when acids react with bases? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:19 | |
I'm not quite sure, but I don't think it's carbon. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
I'll hazard a guess at... hydrogen ions. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
Your guess is wrong because it's salts. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
Still in with a chance, Judith. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
Axilla is the anatomical name for which part of the human body? | 0:16:48 | 0:16:55 | |
Axilla is the anatomical name for which part of the human body? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:05 | |
It's either armpit or groin. I think it's armpit. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Correct answer. Well done. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
So the scores are level. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
We now go on to sudden death. You have to give us the answer, Keith, to this question. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:22 | |
Which reddish-black mineral consisting of ferric oxide takes its name from the Greek for blood-like? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:29 | |
I'm not quite sure, but I'll hazard a guess at... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
..a substance called rougeon. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
It's a kind of exotic guess. It's hematite. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
Judith, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
which disease, transmitted by ticks and affecting the joints, heart and brain, | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
is named after a town in Connecticut where it was first identified in humans in 1975? | 0:17:54 | 0:18:01 | |
I think that's Lyme's Disease. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
You're absolutely right, Judith. Well done. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
You've won after sudden death. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
Keith, you will not be able to help your team in the final round. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
So the challengers have lost two brains from the final round. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
The Eggheads have lost one. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Our last subject is Sport. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
Who wants Sport? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
I've got no idea about sport. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-I think it's me! -It's you, Coral, is it? Who would you like to play? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:40 | |
Which one looks the most sporty? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-I'll go with CJ. -You wouldn't be the first, Coral. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:49 | |
So it's Coral from Jack High versus CJ from the Eggheads on Sport. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:56 | |
Please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
-Coral, good luck in this round. -Thank you. -Do you want the first or the second set of questions? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:07 | |
The first set, please. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
Which footballer was nicknamed The Non-Flying Dutchman due to his fear of flying? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
The name I hoped would come up has come up. I hope it's correct. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
That is Dennis Bergkamp. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Well done, Coral! You're right. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
I think he went to a World Cup by land. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-Yeah. -He could do it by the Trans-Siberia. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
-How would he do that? -Going from Holland, Holland-Berlin, Berlin-Moscow, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:50 | |
Moscow-Trans-Siberia and get the ferry to Yokohama and you're in Japan. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
-CJ, you awake? -Has Chris finished? -Here's your question. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
Pierre de Coubertin modelled which Olympic sport on the skills required of a battlefield courier? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:09 | |
Oh, I see. OK. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-You've just understood the question? -Yeah. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
OK, a battlefield courier. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
It's presumably someone who goes backwards and forwards taking messages. That was done by bicycle, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:33 | |
generally, in the days before more efficient methods came along. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
The only one of those that contains a bicycle is the triathlon. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
The other two would be an awful lot of skills, so I'll try with not much certainty, the triathlon. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:51 | |
Daphne's thrown her hands down. You're wrong, CJ. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-Modern Pentathlon! -Yes. Daphne? | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Horses, shooting, fencing, swimming, running. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
-Was there a bicycle? -No! | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Coral, first blood to you. Well done. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
Which marathon runner won the first of his two Olympic gold medals running barefoot | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
in Rome in 1960? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-Abebe Bikila. -How have you got that one? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
I recognise the name, that's all. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
It's right. Under pressure, CJ. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
-You need to do more crown bowling. -I do! -Sharpens the mind. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
Tim Ambrose, who made his test debut in 2008, regularly performs what role in the England cricket team? | 0:21:54 | 0:22:02 | |
I've never heard of him, so he's a wicket keeper! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
You're right. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
I don't know how, but you're right. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Coral, get this right | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
and you've knocked CJ out. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
In which sport would you take part in the Louis Vuitton Cup? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
I haven't heard of it. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Em... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
I think I'll rule out golf. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
I'll go for sailing. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
There's just a quiet, suppressed cheer of encouragement here, Coral. You've got it completely right. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:54 | |
That is particularly good because CJ has not been knocked out in a head-to-head | 0:22:54 | 0:23:00 | |
-for about 12 games? -First time I've lost since you've been here. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
12 in a row. Coral, well done. Good news for the challengers. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:11 | |
You'll be able to play in today's final round. Both please rejoin your teams. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:18 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. Quite a contest today. The final round, General Knowledge. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:24 | |
Those of you who lost won't be allowed to take part. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
That is Keith and Andy from Jack High and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads. Please leave the studio. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:36 | |
Alan, Coral, Jonathan, you are playing to win Jack High £11,000. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:43 | |
Judith, Kevin and Chris, you're playing for the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:49 | |
I'll ask each team three questions. They are all on General Knowledge. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
You are allowed to confer. Jack High, are your three brains | 0:23:54 | 0:24:00 | |
better than the Eggheads' three? Alan, Coral, Jonathan, would you like to go first or second? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:07 | |
We'll stick with going first. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Good luck. -Thank you. -Which character from Friends had a hairstyle named after her? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:21 | |
-It's the one that Jennifer Aniston played. -I've never seen it. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:32 | |
It was Jennifer Aniston. I'm pretty sure it's the Rachel. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:38 | |
Rachel. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
-Rachel. -Well done. It was Rachel. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
Eggheads, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Longbridge, Dagenham and Cowley were sites for which industry? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
-The car industry. -Quite right. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Back to you, Jack High. The private detective Easy Rawlins | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
is the creation of which American crime novelist? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
I've not heard of this detective. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
The only one I've heard of is Elmore Leonard. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
That's the only one out of those three. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
I don't recognise any of them. We'll just have to guess this one. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
-That's the only one I've heard of. -Go for that one, then. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:34 | |
Purely a guess. We'll go for Elmore Leonard. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
I'm sorry, you're wrong. It was Walter Mosley. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
Eggheads, to go ahead. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
The Happy Valley Set, as featured in the 1987 film White Mischief, lived in which African country? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:52 | |
It was Kenya. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
It was indeed Kenya. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
Third question now. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
What is the official language of Bangladesh? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
Bangladesh... | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
-Bangladesh is on the east side of India. -Yes. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
-I associate Urdu with Pakistan. -Yes, I would tend to also. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
-OK. I don't think it's Hindi. -No. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
I think it's Bengali. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Let's go with Bengali. It's our best shot. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
-Our best shot is Bengali. -Bengali? Right. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
"Phew!" he says. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
Eggheads, if you get this right, you win again. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:50 | |
Which critical theorist wrote the essay The Death of the Author? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
I should know this. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
-Deconstruction. -Yes. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
He would be my best guess. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
They've got to get this wrong for you. Ruled one out? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:22 | |
There is a favourite there, but... it could be one of the others. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:28 | |
Barthes was... Deconstruction was his thing. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
In terms of fragmented narratives, it fits. It fits with Barthes. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
-Shall we go for Barthes? -Yeah. We're all-square if it's wrong. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
On the basis that he was famous as a deconstructivist, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
the idea being that stories are constructed in readers' minds more than by authors, | 0:27:50 | 0:27:56 | |
yeah, Roland Barthes. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
Barthes is your answer. Correct. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Swift at the end there. Commiserations, challengers. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
You won't be going home with the £11,000, so the money rolls over to our next show. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:26 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if the new challengers do it. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:34 | |
£12,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:40 | |
