These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:12 | 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 | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
You might recognise them as they've won some | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Challenging our resident quiz champions today | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are Oscar Lives. The team are all teachers | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
at various schools and colleges across the Midlands | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
and are named after team captain David's sadly deceased cat, Oscar. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
Let's meet them. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello. I'm David, I'm 49 and I'm a vice principal | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
at a community college. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi. I'm Andrew, I'm 46 and I'm a teacher. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Hello. My name's Pam. I'm 49 and I'm an infant school head teacher. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
Hello. I'm Dave, I'm 55 and I'm a director of drama. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
Hello. I'm Graeme, I'm 55 and I'm a pastoral manager. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
-You obviously miss Oscar, David? -Terribly. I'm still in therapy. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Now you have watched Casablanca how many times? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
About 10, maybe 15, maybe 20 times. I don't know how many. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
I know Casablanca comes up sometimes in quizzes, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
so what is the key Casablanca question? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
I think it would be, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
"What does Claude Rains throw into the bin at the end of the film?" | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
What does Claude Rains through into the bin at the end? Any of you? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-Never seen it. -You don't know! -No. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-What is it? -It's a bottle of Vichy water. Symbolic... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Ah, yes. He's turning his back on the Vichy regime. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-That's going off with Rick, yeah. -I'll tell you what, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
good start! Keep it going. Every day there's £1,000 | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
worth of cash for our challengers. However, if they fail | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
So, Oscar Lives, the Eggheads have won the last 13 games, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
which means £14,000 says you can't beat them. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
The first head-to-head will be on Geography. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Challengers, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
you can decide who takes this and who you play against. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Thank you. Well we're all equally the same at Geography | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
but some of us are more equal than others, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
and Dave is the man. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
-Are you sure? -Absolutely. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
OK. We'll go with that. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
OK, Dave, who do you want to play? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Anyone not called Daphne on Geography, cos she's brilliant. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Erm... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
Go... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
..with CJ. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
The questions will get harder! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
This is a corporate decision and we'll go with CJ. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
OK. It's Dave from Oscar Lives against CJ from the Eggheads, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
and to ensure there's no conferring, would you please | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
take your positions in the question room? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Dave, it's you against CJ. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
I'll ask you each three multiple choice questions on Geography. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Whoever answers the most is the winner, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-and Dave you can choose the first or the second set. -I'll go first. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
What is the capital of Belgium? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
I'm fairly happy with it not being Ostend. That's a nice ferry port. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
There may be some regional difficulties. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
I will go with Brussels. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Brussels is your answer? -It is. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
You're right. Well done. CJ, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
which island group comprises the northernmost extremity of the UK? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
The Scilly Islands are off the western coast of Cornwall, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
and the Faroe Islands aren't anything to do | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
with the British Isles, and the Shetland Islands are way up north. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
I think the most northerly land is "Muckle Fugger" or something. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
It is the Shetland Islands. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
You're right. Well done. One each. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Dave, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
here's your next question... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Linate and Malpensa airports serve which European city? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
Well, there's a fairly big French politician | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
who has the main airport in Paris. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
The words don't sound Greek, so I'll go for Milan. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Is that a guess, or logic? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
There's an element of logic. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
And it's right as well. Well done. Milan. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Two-one. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
CJ, Guadalcanal is the largest island in which group? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
It's in the Solomon Islands. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
In the Solomon Islands, you say? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-It is. -Why do you say that so quietly? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Just in case I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure it's right. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
What, you mean if you're wrong, you can pretend you didn't say? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
"Where did you get that? Nothing to do with me!" | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
You're right. It's the Solomon Islands. Well done. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Two points each. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
If you get this, you'll put real pressure on the Eggheads. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
What is the longest freshwater lake in the world? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, Lake Superior is bigger than Lake Michigan, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
so we can get rid of that one. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
I'm torn between the other two, to be fair. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
I think in... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
..Russian Asia, I think Lake Baikal is the biggest lake. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
The longest freshwater lake in the world...? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
It's certainly an inland lake. Lake Baikal. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-Is that your answer? -It is. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-Is he right, Eggheads? -It's the biggest lake. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
The longest freshwater lake... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
If it's the longest... It's the biggest. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Tanganyika we'd have gone for. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
-Baikal's the biggest in area. -Because it's round. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Tanganyika is the longest. It's long and narrow. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
I'm afraid, Dave, he's right. Tanganyika is the longest. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
You're wrong. CJ, for the round... | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
What is the approximate depth of the deepest point of the Mariana Trench, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
the deepest known ocean depth? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
I think the actual deepest point is 36,201 feet, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
so out of those three options, I'll go for 36,000. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
You wouldn't be showing off by any chance? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I certainly would be, yes. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
You're right, CJ. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
Brilliantly answered. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
So, Dave, you were beaten | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
by our Egghead. It happens. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
As a result, you won't be able to help in the Final Round. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Would you both please rejoin your team-mates. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
So, the challengers have lost one brain | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
from the Final Round while the Eggheads have lost none. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
The next subject is Arts and Books. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Which one of you teachers fancies this and against who? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-Shall we toss? -I don't mind. I'll do it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-OK. It's gonna be Pam. -It's gonna be Pam? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-Dave, this would have been your category? -Yeah. -Head of Drama? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-Never mind. -OK, Pam, who do you wanna play? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
We should take Chris on this one. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
OK, then. I'll take Arts and Books and I'll play Chris. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
Right, Pam from Oscar Lives against Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
please take your positions in the question room. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
I'll ask you three questions on Arts and Books. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
Pam, would you like the first set or the second set? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
What name is given to a portrait of a person in profile | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
which shows the outline only | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
and is usually a cut out of black paper on a white background? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
Well, I do think I know the answer to this one. I think it's silhouette. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Absolutely right. Well done. First point to you. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Chris, your first question. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
What word is used for the rhythm of a piece of poetry | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
and is determined by the number and length of feet in a line? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
That is the metre. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Quite right. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Pam, in what century was the artist Botticelli born? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
OK... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Now, I was hoping it was going to be more literature than art, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
but I will hazard a guess. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Let me see. Botticelli. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
I will take a guess at the 15th century. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-The 15th century, you say? -Yes. -Can any Eggheads name the year? | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
Actually, you see different, erm... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
It's one of those things where the records are not entirely set, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
but it's usually either 1444 or '45. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
1444 or 1445? Yes, it's... Yeah, I've got 1445. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
Changes in the calendar as well - that affects it, so... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
The main thing is you're right, Pam. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Well done. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
CHALLENGERS CLAP | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Chris, My Uncle Silas is a book of short stories by which author? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
Well, Stella Gibbons wrote Cold Comfort Farm | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
and not a whole lot else. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Laurie Lee tended to write autobiographies | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
like Cider With Rosie and his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
but a prolific writer of short stories was HE Bates, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
so that's the one I have to go with. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Spot on. Well done. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Two points apiece. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Pam... | 0:09:52 | 0:09:53 | |
put some pressure on him by getting this right. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Which playwright's works include A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
and Privates on Parade? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Well, something in the back of my mind | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
tells me this might be Joe Orton. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
I'm not 100%, but that's my guess. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-Joe Orton. -That's your answer, is it? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Yeah. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
You're wrong. It's Peter Nichols. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
And I sensed at least one team-mate knew that. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
For the round, Chris... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
Sal Paradise is the main character | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
in which influential American novel first published in 1957? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
Well, it's not Lolita, because she was Dolores Haze. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
On The Road's Jack Kerouac, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
and autobiographical again, so I don't think it's On The Road, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
so it must be Burroughs' Naked Lunch. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
You're wrong! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-It's On The Road. -Oh. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Pam, you're still in. After three questions, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
the scores are level. We go now to sudden death and just to make it | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-Pam, here we go. Are you ready? -I am. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
When asked what his plays were about, which English playwright | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
born in London in 1930 replied, "the weasel under the cocktail cabinet"? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:24 | |
I have heard this quotation before. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
But I'm sorry, I can't bring it to mind. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
No. I think I'm going to have to pass, I'm afraid, on that one. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
OK. It's Harold Pinter. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Chris, Charles Darnay | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
and Sydney Carton are characters in which Charles Dickens' novel? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
Erm, in A Tale of Two Cities. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-Quite right. -"It's a far, far better thing I do now than I've ever done". | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
Well done, Chris. You won the round. Pam, you were beaten by our Egghead. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
You won't be able to help your team in the Final Round. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Would you both please come back and rejoin your team-mates? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
The challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
The Eggheads have lost none. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
The next subject is Music, everybody, Music. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Now which of you wants to take this on, and who do you want to play? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
RECITES: Music is my first love And it will be my last | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
-Music is the... -Really? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
You're doing it. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
-Marvellous! It's me. -You're up for this. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Who do you want to play against? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
-Judith... -I don't know. It looks like three for Judith, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
so I'll go with that. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:38 | |
So Andrew from Oscar Lives against Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
Please take your positions in the question room. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
I'll ask each of you three questions on music. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Andrew, would you like the first or second set? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
I'd kind of like to get it over with, please, Jeremy. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
Andrew, | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
"In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea" | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
are the opening lines of which Beatles song? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Well, I do know. I lived in Liverpool for a while, | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
so I should know. I'm gonna go for Yellow Submarine. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
Yes, I had a sudden moment thinking, "Is that right?" | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
but it is Yellow Submarine. Well done. First point to you. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
Judith, The Rain In Spain and Ascot Gavotte | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
are songs from which musical? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
I think that might be... I KNOW that is My Fair Lady, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
with conviction, Jeremy. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
My Fair Lady, with conviction. You are right. Well done, Judith. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
Totally convinced. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
Andrew, which composer's fifth piano concerto is known as The Emperor? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:52 | |
I don't know. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Really not very clued-up on classical music, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
which is obviously a great thing for the Eggheads. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-What do you teach, Andrew? -Mathematics, mostly. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-Which they say is very linked to music. -Yeah, they do. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
I just don't know. Erm... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Beethoven's Fifth is obviously one of the most famous | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
of all those bits of old stuff that you do hear playing around, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
but I haven't actually heard it called that. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
Erm... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
Mozart I suppose could have been hanging around with an emperor. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
He's that kind of court kind of person, wasn't he? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
Erm, Brahms... | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Not ringing any bells. I'm gonna go middle Mozart. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
No, it was Beethoven. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:46 | |
-Ah! -His fifth piano concerto is known as The Emperor. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
I should listen more often. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
Judith, the official 2008 Sport Relief single Footprints In The Sand | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
is a recording by which singer? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Well, I would bet on either Leona Lewis or Lee Mead. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
I think probably Leona Lewis. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
She's very much flavour of the month, isn't she? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
-That is... -Can you remove the question mark? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-No, I can't, not this time! -That's your answer, Leona Lewis? -Yes. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
It's right. Well done. You take the lead. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
You need this, Andrew, | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
or you're out of the Final Round. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Starz In Their Eyes was a UK Top Ten hit single in 2007 for which singer? | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
If I listened to the children at school a bit more often | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
I might know this sort of thing. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
I suppose I should. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
Erm... Can you tell me what the track is called again, please? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
Yeah. Starz In Their Eyes, and Starz is spelt S-T-A-R-Z In Their Eyes. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
UK Top Ten hit single in 2007 for which singer? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
James Morrison sort of warbles. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
And Mika's a bit kind of high-pitchy, and I don't know anything | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
about Just Jack. For that reason, I'll choose that. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Just Jack, sounds like somebody that might spell a song with a Z | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
when they oughtn't. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:14 | |
-Just Jack? -Mmm. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:17 | |
-You're absolutely right! -Well done. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
By elimination, you got it. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Judith, the medieval instrument called the "rebec" | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
belonged to which family of instruments? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
If you get this, you've got the round. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-Is it R-E-B-E-C? -It is. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
That actually doesn't help me much. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-It was a good guess. -I'm terribly bad about medieval instruments. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Rebec. There's something in my mind thought | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
it might be an early kind of recorder, | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
so... I'm gonna say woodwind. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-Woodwind is wrong. -Oh. String. -It's a string instrument. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-It's like... -Daphne, what does it look like? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-It's an early violin. -You hold it on your shoulder? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-It's a violin, sort of very early. -It's got a bow? -Yes. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-Now we know! Well done, Andrew. You're still in it. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-Lucky! -After three questions on multiple choice, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
with the scores level, we go to sudden death | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
and to make it that bit harder, these are not multiple choice. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
During the Live Aid concerts in 1985, Andrew, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
who performed in Wembley Stadium and then flew by Concorde | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
to play in Philadelphia's JFK Stadium later the same day? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
Well, I really ought to know that. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
I've got several names flooding through my head at the moment, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
and none of them really appearing in both venues. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
Erm... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I'm probably gonna have to plump for Phil Collins. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
I really hope, rest of the team, that's not letting you down. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Yeah. I can tell you, when you said "Phil Collins", | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
at least three members of your team punched the air. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-Oh really! -With delight, not with anger, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
because he's right, isn't he, teachers? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
-He is right. -Well done. -What a relief, excellent! | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
So, Judith. Pressure on you, now. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Timothy Z Moseley | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
is the real name of which American record producer, rapper and singer? | 0:18:17 | 0:18:23 | |
It's not Eminem, which is about the only one I can think of. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
Erm... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
There's somebody... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
with "Zee" in their name. Erm... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
I've absolutely no idea. I really haven't a clue. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
I don't know a thing about...rappers. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:44 | |
Right. So you're not gonna answer on principle? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Well, is there somebody called Jay-Z, or something? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-Is that your answer? -Well, yes, it will have to be. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-I have to invent it. -All right. We'll take that. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Daphne, you wanted to say you know, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
so let's just have a great Egghead moment here. Go on. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
-Timbaland. -Timbaland is the right answer, yes. -Oh! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:05 | |
You're at home listening to all his albums, Daphne, every night. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
I thought he was Timberlake. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
-Different person. -Different person, I'm told. -Really? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
That's Justin Timberlake. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Oh, Justin... Different from Timbaland? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
We could spend the rest of our lives on this conversation, Judith. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Well done, Andrew. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
You took an Egghead and emerged triumphant. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Great news for our challengers, after a difficult streak. Well done. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
So, Andrew, you will play in today's Final Round. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Congratulations. Both of you, please join your teams. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
The challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
while the Eggheads have lost one. Our last subject is Sport. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Which one of you wants Sport and which Egghead? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I think it might be me! | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
The answer is, nobody really wants Sport, particularly, | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
but it's gonna be Graeme. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
Graeme, who do you wanna play? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
Either Kevin or Daphne. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
They've both probably memorised everything that's ever happened... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-They have but sometimes they forget. -We're gonna go Kevin. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-Kevin, OK... -No, he's major on Sport. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-Daphne. -Daphne. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
He's brilliant and she's absolutely brilliant! | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Well, I know. I'd be delighted to beat either. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
Daphne it is, then. I'm really sorry, Kevin, but it's Daphne. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
OK, so it's Graeme against Daphne. Graeme from Oscar Lives | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
versus Daphne from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I'll ask you three questions on Sport. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
-Graeme, you can choose first or second set. -I'll go first, please. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
Die-hard fans of which football club are known as Kopites? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
Die hard fans of which football club are known as Kopites? | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
Arsenal are the Gunners, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
I believe Manchester United are the Red Devils, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
so that would lead me to Liverpool. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
Bang on. After the Kop. Well done. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
CHALLENGERS CLAP | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
Daphne, in the game of tennis, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
what is another name for an overhead shot | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
played during a rally? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:07 | |
That would be a smash. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
It is indeed. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Second question for you, Graeme. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
The ill-tempered 1999 Ryder Cup match | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
took place on which golf course? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
It was held in England and not Scotland, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
so I'll go for The Belfry. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:36 | |
It's the wrong answer. It's Brookline. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-It's Brookline. -Which is where? -What was the bad temper about? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Massachusetts in America, and... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
It was the one where on the final hole the Americans putted | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
the final shot and they all ran on to the green, cheering and celebrating, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
not realising the Europeans still had a putt to half the tournament. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
A lot of acrimony in it. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
OK. Bad luck there, Graeme. Daphne, how often is the Vendee Globe | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
single-handed round-the-world yacht race held? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Well, it's certainly not annually. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
Erm, I really... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
I haven't got... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Well, I'm just gonna have to guess, Jeremy. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
Every four years. Sorry! | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
No sorry, it's a great guess. You're right, well done. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-Phew! -So you're in the lead and that means Graeme, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
you need this. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
What is the nationality | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
of the Olympic gold medal-winning javelin thrower Jan Zelezny? | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
I think he's on the Olympic Committee now and I would say he's Czech. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-Czech is your answer? -Yes. -It's right. Great answer. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Daphne, here we go. | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
Can you win the round? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
In international artistic gymnastics competition, the floor exercise | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
is performed on a matted area of how many square metres? | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
Before it came up, I immediately thought of 12, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:18 | |
but I thought that was feet, but I'm gonna stick with it and go for 12. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Your answer is 12? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
-It is 12 square metres. -Is it?! Oh, thank you! | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
Brilliant answer! Brilliant play in this round by you, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
well done, and Graeme, you were beaten by our Egghead, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
so as a result, you won't be able to help your team in the Final Round. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Both of you please come back now and rejoin your team-mates. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
This is what we've been playing towards. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
It's the Final Round, which, as always is General Knowledge, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
but I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
Pam, Dave and Graeme from Oscar Lives | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
and Judith from the Eggheads, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
would you please now leave the studio? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
David and Andrew, you're playing to win Oscar Lives £14,000. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
you are playing for something which money can't buy - | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Now as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
This time the questions are General Knowledge | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
and you are allowed to confer. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
Oscar Lives, the question is, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
David and Andrew, would you like the first or second set of questions? | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
-What do you reckon? -Well, we've been doing unluckily in first, | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
so we're going to go for first. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
First. You threw me there. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
-You want the first set of questions? -I was being ironic, sorry. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
-He's awkward, isn't he? -OK. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
-I'm trying to follow the logic. -Why break up a losing combination? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
Historically, the heir to the throne of which country | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
had a title that translates into English as Dolphin? | 0:24:55 | 0:25:00 | |
Well, we've had a Belgian question already tonight, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
which I'd prefer here. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-Spanish... -Really? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-Waffle...? -I'm waffling here, erm, but Dauphin is the heir to the throne | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
-of France, so it's France. -France is right. Well done. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Eggheads, what colour eyes do all Siamese cats have, | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
regardless of the colour of their coat? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
-Blue. -Everybody happy with that? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
They have blue eyes, Jeremy. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
It is blue, you're right. Well done. They're all blue-eyed. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Level. Second question. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
In which TV drama series first shown in 2008 did Michelle Collins | 0:25:40 | 0:25:46 | |
play Karina Faith, a successful music industry figure? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
Well, Ashes To Ashes was the time travel one with Keeley Hawes. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
Echo Beach was, erm... | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
Erm, Jason Donovan, who isn't a lady, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
but it is...Rock Rivals. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
It is Rock Rivals. Well done. You're ahead. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Eggheads, the term hussar for a light cavalryman | 0:26:15 | 0:26:20 | |
originated in which country in the 15th century? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
I believe that was Hungary, Jeremy. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
I believe it was. You're right. Well done. Hungary is correct. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
So, you really need this | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
to put the pressure on them. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
What name is given to a hotel in Spain that is owned | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
and administered by the government? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
-Been in one? -I have been in a Spanish hotel, but, erm... | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
Well I was, when I was 9, I think, so... | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
I didn't pay much attention to what it said on the door! | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Erm... I'm afraid this is probably gonna have to be a guess, isn't it? | 0:27:00 | 0:27:05 | |
Well they do have pensions... | 0:27:05 | 0:27:06 | |
They do have pensions, but they have pensions and... | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Paraguas sounds like it's to do with water, to me. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
-Well, we'll disregard paraguas. -Parador? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
So it's either parador or pension? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Sounds... I'd have to go for the middle one | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
cos it's the only one that would have anything to do... | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
We're both very close to our pension, so we'll go for pension. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
You're going for pension? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
It's the wrong answer. It's parador. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
Eggheads, this for the contest. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
Who directed the 1981 film Escape To Victory, | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
in which Pele, Bobby Moore and a host of other football players | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
act alongside Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
I've actually seen that film. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
-I've actually seen that film. -You admit it! | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
-I think it might be John Huston. -Huston. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-It's John Huston, Jeremy. -Are you sure? -Yeah. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
I can tell you that John Huston is the correct answer. Well done. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:09 | |
