These five contestants are hoping to walk away today | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
thousands of pounds richer. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
Standing in their way is one of the most formidable quizzers | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
to grace the Eggheads team, CJ de Mooi. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
This is Revenge Of The Egghead. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Hello and welcome to Revenge Of The Egghead. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Let us meet the five contestants hoping to get one over on CJ today. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
I'm Nigel, I'm an insurance consultant and I'm from Chorley. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
I'm Fiona, I'm a student and I'm from South Yorkshire. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
I'm Bob, I'm a driver and part-time magician from Halifax. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
I'm Sue, I'm a retired charity administrator from Redditch. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
I'm Jonathan, I'm a teacher from Stockport. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Welcome to all of you and good luck to you all. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
As you know, in order to win any money today you will need | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
to outsmart CJ de Mooi. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
-How are you today, CJ? -Ebullient, confident, ready. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:12 | |
Now, what are you mugging up on at the moment? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
One of the all-time popular subjects for quizzers is, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
of course, the Oscars. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
One thing that gets overlooked, though, is the Oscar hosts | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-so I've been trying to learn a few of those. -First year of the Oscars? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Well, that was 1929. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Interesting because the hosts that year were Douglas Fairbanks Sr | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
and William C de Mille who was the brother of Cecil B de Mille. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
OK, what about 1960? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
That helps because you've chosen one of the years of Bob Hope | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
who everyone knows is the most regular Oscar host. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
He hosted them, either by himself or with other people, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-18 times. -Right, well, there we are. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
That's what CJ spends his spare time doing. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
I can only apologise for the scarcity of interest in his life. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-No love, just lists. -So what do you make of the line-up here? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
I look forward to making Bob the magician vanish. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
All right, well, don't be intimidated, players, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
let's get started. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
Contestants, none of you know each other | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
but you will be building up a prize fund together by individually | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
answering general knowledge questions. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Each correct answer will add £200 to the pot but be very careful | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
because if CJ knows your answer is wrong, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
he can stop play like this... | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
He hits the red button and once he has caught you out | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
he then has the chance to ask you a particularly difficult question | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
which he has written himself. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
If you get that wrong, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
you will lose one of those two lives lit up in front of you. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
If you lose them both, you are out of the game. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Whoever survives to the end of the game will have | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
a shot of sharing the prize money. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-Shall we begin? -Absolutely. -Yes. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Nigel, you have the first question. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
-This soup gazpacho originated in which country? -Italy. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-Italy, CJ has buzzed. -Argentina? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
No, it's not Italy or Argentina, it is Spain. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Oh, yes, I knew it was a Spanish dish. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-I thought it was South American. -You got away with that there. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
You don't have to go to the Hot Spot | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
but you don't make any money from that answer. You're still on zero. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
OK, our student now, Fiona. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
Canvey Island lies on the estuary of which English river? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
-Trent. -The River Trent. CJ says that's wrong. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-It's in the Thames, isn't it? -Thames is the right answer, Sophie. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
He has caught you out which means you have to | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
take your place on the Hot Spot and face one of his multiple-choice | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
questions and risk losing one of those precious lives. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Watch out, these questions are fiendishly tricky | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
because HE has written them himself. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Fiona, it is time to take on the Egghead. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-Good luck here, Fiona. Don't be intimidated by him. -Fiona... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
-Do you listen to this at all, Fiona? -No. -Nobody under the age of 80 does. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
But I do know that The Wool Pack is from another soap | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
so I'm going to rule that one out so I'm going to go with The Bull. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
The Bull is your answer, the pub in The Archers. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Let's hope Fiona keeps her two lives. CJ, what is it? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
The correct answer... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
-is The Bull. -Well done, Fiona. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Nice work not having ever listened to it. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Return to your fellow players. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
You haven't got any money in the pot yet | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
but at least you're all still there with your lives. Zero pounds so far. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
OK, Bob, let's see if we can start the money coming in. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Robert Smith is the lead singer of which British band? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-That will be The Cure. -The Cure is the right answer. £200 in the pot. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
I knew you would know that, you're the same age as me. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
OK, Sue, your question. The Poole Pirates compete in which sport? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:16 | |
The Poole Pirates, Sue. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-Er, water polo. -Water polo. CJ has buzzed. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-Ice hockey? -Not ice hockey. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Speedway is the answer. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
He didn't get it right either so you've preserved your lives. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
No money from that answer, though, still just £200. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Jonathan, what was the name of Les Dennis' | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
comedy partner who died in 1986? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
-Brian Griffis? -Brian Griffis, it was not. Poor old Dustin Gee, it was. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
-Couldn't remember his name. -But CJ didn't get that right either | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
so he's had lots of opportunities and hasn't really taken them. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
You've saved both your lives. No money from that answer. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Very slow start for this team and for you as well, CJ, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
if I may say so. Nigel, back to you. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
In which 1980s TV drama did Michael Gambon play character named | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
Philip Marlowe? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
It was The Singing Detective. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
The Singing Detective is quite right. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
£200 in the pot, 400 in total. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Fiona, frequent exposure of skin to sunlight promotes which vitamin? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
-D. -Vitamin D is quite right. Another £200. You're on 600. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
Bob, in the US, the annual shopping day known as Black Friday | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-occurs during which month? -December. -No, CJ says that's wrong. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:45 | |
-Is it November? -It is November actually. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
So, CJ is right, you got it wrong, I'm afraid, Bob, you're going | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
to have to go to the Hot Spot | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
and face one of his own specially written questions. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
It is time to take on the Egghead. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
OK, good luck here, Bob. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
You've all kept your lives so far so let's try and hold them | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
for a bit longer. CJ. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Let's try human anatomy. Bob... | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
At least you've got the options there, Bob. One of them is right. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-Can I use my fingers? -No-one has done that before but I can't see why not. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
-I'll go for six. -He's counted six with his fingers. CJ? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
-The correct number is seven. -One off. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
Same number of vertebrae in a human's neck | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
as in an adult giraffe's neck. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Interesting, CJ. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Seven is the answer. Please return to your fellow players. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Forgive my friend's manner over here. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
He's a very sweet fellow some of the time. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I haven't met him in any of those moments, though, myself. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Bob, I'm sorry, we take a life away from you. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
OK, so the first life to go. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
You're holding on pretty well but the pot is still only on 600. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
We need to make progress, players. Sue, your question. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
La Paz is the administrative capital of which South American country? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
-Bolivia. -Bolivia is the right answer, Sue. £200, well done. 800. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-Jonathan, what was the first name of the cookery writer Mrs Beeton? -Mary? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-Mary, CJ has buzzed. -Isabella? -Isabella is the right answer. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
CJ is getting into his stride now. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
You're going to have to face him on the Hot Spot. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
It is time to take on the Egghead. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
-You said you were a history teacher, Jonathan. -That's right. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
You could give him a question on history, CJ. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-I'm not going to, though, am I? -Why does he do that? -Jonathan... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
OK... Not my area of speciality. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
That's a shame(!) | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
-I'm going to go for...scarlet fever. -I don't know the answer to this. CJ? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:24 | |
-Has he kept both his lives? -It's glandular fever. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Glandular fever, oh, dear. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Jonathan, please return to your fellow players. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
£800 in the pot. Jonathan, we have to take away one of your lives. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
You've still got quite a few lives and all of you are still in the game. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
OK, Nigel, your question. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
Since the mid-1960s, on which racecourse has | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
the Scottish Grand National traditionally been run? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
That's easy, that's the west... That's the east coast, that's Ayr. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Ayr is right. £200, up to 1,000. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Fiona, in 1964, which children's show was the first programme | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
-to be broadcast on BBC Two? -The Magic Roundabout. -CJ has buzzed. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:09 | |
Watch With Mother. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
No, Play School is the answer. He got it wrong as well. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-Phew. -You are not called to the Hot Spot. Phew indeed. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Play School it is. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
You add no more money to the pot there, Fiona. It's £1,000. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
Bob, Timbuktu is a city in which country? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-It's a North African country. Morocco. -Morocco. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:34 | |
-Mali. -Mali is the answer. Oh, dear. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
So you've just come off the Hot Spot, Bob, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
and it's come right back round to you and you're going to | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
have to get on again and save your final life. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Please stay in the game. It's time to take on the Egghead. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-Bob... -CJ. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Another easy one(!) | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
OK, you are down to your last life, Bob. You mustn't lose it. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
If you get this question wrong, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
you are going to be out of the game, so take your time here. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
It's a tough one. But I'm going to plump for... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
They've got to have been around for a while, haven't they? '82. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
1982, so 30 or more years at the United Nations for Switzerland. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:34 | |
CJ, tell us the answer, see if Bob is still in the game. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
It's 2002. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
Much more recent, Bob. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Oh, dear, another wrong answer and unfortunately that | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
was your last life so we say thanks for playing, Bob. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
You are out of the game and out of the money. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-The Egghead has taken his revenge. -Good luck, guys. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Well, it's always painful | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
when a space opens up in the middle like that. Four of you now. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
Might be better, fewer people to share the money | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
but then again fewer brains in the final. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
£1,000, slow progress on the money. Come on, Sue. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Who became President of South Africa in 2009? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
Argh! Mibake? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Think you're thinking of Thabo Mbeki but this is Jacob Zuma. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
That's what I meant. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
I'm sorry, CJ is correct, it is Jacob Zuma, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
not Mbeki, so it is time to face the Egghead. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
Well, he is carving up the players a little bit here so let's try | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-and staunch the flow if we can. -Are you ready, Sue? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-As ready as I'll ever be. -Sue... | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
-Johnny Vegas. -You didn't even need time to think about that. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-The right answer is Johnny Vegas. -Well done! | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Please rejoin your fellow players. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
Three of you have got two lives. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Jonathan, you have only got one. You need to stay off the Hot Spot. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
£1,000 in the pot. Heading towards the final. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Be nice to get £2,000 or £3,000 in the pot. Here we go. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
Your question, Jonathan. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Harold Sakata famously played which villainous character | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
from the Bond films? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Ernst Blofeld. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-Oddjob. -Bond films are meat and drink to CJ. He loves them. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
So you got it wrong and he got it right | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
and you have to face another of his questions on the Hot Spot. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
It's time to take on the Egghead. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Well, as he is down to one life, CJ, | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
can I just trouble you for a history question? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
He is a history teacher and that would be surely more civilised. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
So, health. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
OK, right... Malocclusion... OK, think I'm going to have a stab at... | 0:14:14 | 0:14:21 | |
-..ears. -Right, a maloccluded ear. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
Sounds right, CJ, is it the right answer? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
If it's not, Jonathan will have left us which we don't want. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
The right answer is teeth. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
Well, it's another wrong answer from Jonathan. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
That's really unfortunate. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
It does mean you've lost your last life. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
We say thanks for playing but you're out of the money | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
and out of the game. The Egghead has taken his revenge. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
Now, this is interesting because the three of you have got two lives. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
You have got a bit of buffer in there. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
But you're still only on £1,000. Try and move it up a bit. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
Nigel, which West Country football club has the nickname the Glovers? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:07 | |
That would be Plymouth. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Plymouth is the wrong answer but CJ knows nothing about either | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
the West Country or football so you are OK. It's Yeovil Town. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
You are not called to the Hot Spot but you're still stuck on £1,000. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
Fiona, which 1968 science-fiction film was | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
based on a short story called The Sentinel? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-Alien? -Alien, CJ? | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-2001: A Space Odyssey. -Oh, OK. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
2001: A Space Odyssey was the right answer. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
Alien was a bit later. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
So, Fiona, you have to hit the Hot Spot again and face the Egghead. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
But you were fine last time so good luck preserving your lives | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
here against CJ's dastardly question. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Fiona... | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
-Well, I... -Have you seen the film at all? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
I haven't seen the film | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
and I'd love to be able to eliminate any of the options but I can't. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
So I'll just take a guess at 1928. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
1928, has Fiona kept both her lives, CJ? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
It's 1924. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
1924 is the right answer. Please return to your fellow players. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Only four years out. You can't give her that? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Oh, I'm sorry, it was a little bit wrong but it was still wrong. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
I'm sorry, Fiona, you lose a life. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
Hang on in there, don't lose the other one. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
We want to see you playing in the final. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Three of you left, five lives. £1,000. See if you can add to it. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
Sue, what do sumo wrestlers ritually | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
throw into the ring before a wrestling bout? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-Salt. -Salt is correct. £200. £1,200 we're on. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
Nigel, what is the highest number a player can choose | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-when entering the main National Lottery Lotto jackpot draw? -49. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:16 | |
49 is correct. You have another £200. You're playing well, Nigel. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
£1,400, you're on. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
Fiona, the motto on the flag of which organisation is | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
"Blood and fire"? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-The RAF? -The RAF, CJ. -Salvation Army. -CJ is correct. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:35 | |
It is the Salvation Army and, Fiona, you are wrong. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
Suddenly you're back on the Hot Spot again. I'm sorry. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
With one life left, you have to take on the Egghead. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
I could really do with getting Fiona out | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
because a wide range of ages in the final round isn't good for me. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
Do you only think about yourself, CJ? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
I only think about the best, so, yes. Fiona... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
Well, you definitely picked the right question | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
because I haven't got a clue. I'll go with... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
-..cabbage. -Cabbage. -Yeah. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
I hope you got it right. If you got it wrong, you'll be out of the game. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
CJ? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
The correct answer... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
is squash. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
CJ, some of these questions you have been working on are appalling. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-I'm so, so sorry(!) -Well, Fiona, another wrong answer from you | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
and that was your last life so we say thanks for playing, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
you are out of the money and out of the game. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
The rather smug Egghead over there has taken his revenge. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
So, £1,400. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
Both of you, despite the strange zigzagging motion of this game, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
you've both got both your lives. But there are only two of you left. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
He's got the others out. £1,400 in the pot. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
It can't be long before the klaxon goes and we move to the final. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
Sue, your question. Who plays Gerry Standing in the TV drama New Tricks? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
-Dennis Waterman. -Dennis Waterman is the right answer. £200. Up to 1,600. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:31 | |
Nigel, at a Summer Olympic Games held in which city | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
did Steve Redgrave first win Olympic gold? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Right, let's go back. Five... '84. Los Angeles. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
Los Angeles is the right answer. £200 more. 1,800. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
You're playing well. Sue, who is said to rule in a plutocracy? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
-The rich. -The rich is the right answer. Another £200. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
Suddenly you're zooming along here. £2,000. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
Maybe the others were holding you back. Nigel... | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
KLAXON BLARES | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
The klaxon has gone so that was the last question and two of you remain | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
and are going to play in the final round. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
You have built up a prize pot of £2,000. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
You've moved quickly at the end there. Very handy. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
And you could take that money home if you do one thing. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
You have to beat the Egghead. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
So, there's £2,000 up for grabs and two of you left. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
If you can prove yourselves better than CJ, you will win the money. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
But he's going to do everything he can to stop you. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
I'm going to ask CJ ten general knowledge questions. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
However many he answers correctly will become your target to beat. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
-Are you ready, CJ? -I am, Jeremy. -You sound confident. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
They've got four lives. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
I'm glad there are no younger people left to deal with those | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
tricky popular culture, film and music questions | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
but you never know what people know. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
Well, let's see what they know but first let's see what you know. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
Your ten questions begin now. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Which English monarch died in 1603? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
Elizabeth I. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
Elizabeth I is the correct answer. One out of one. Next question. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
How was the martial arts expert Lee Jun-fan better-known? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
That's Bruce Lee. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
Bruce Lee is correct, two out of two. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Morty and Ferdie are the nephews of which cartoon character? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
I don't think I've ever heard of these. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
I don't know. Let's go for that quiz staple SpongeBob SquarePants. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-Do you know, by any chance? -Is it Donald Duck? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-No, it's Mickey Mouse. -Really?! -Mickey Mouse, you were closer. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
I guess Morty comes from the fact his original name was Mortimer Mouse. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
Maybe so. Two out of three. Next question. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
The composer Giacomo Puccini died leaving which opera unfinished? | 0:21:56 | 0:22:02 | |
Turandot. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:03 | |
Turandot is the right answer. Three out of four. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
Which boxer won a gold medal in the heavyweight division | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
of the 1964 Summer Olympic Games? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
Cassius Clay? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
Joe Frazier is the correct answer. Three out of five. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
Vientiane is the capital of which country in south-east Asia? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
Laos. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
Laos is correct. Four out of six. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Next question, CJ, | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
the wife of which US President had the maiden name Bess Wallace? | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
Oh, dear. I know most of them. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
I can think of any First Ladies called Bess | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
so I'm just wondering if she took or is known by another name. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:49 | |
-Lyndon Johnson. -No, Harry S Truman. So, you are on four out of seven. | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
Who starred as Tom Powers in the 1931 film The Public Enemy? | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
James Cagney? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:07 | |
James Cagney is correct. Five out of eight. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Stanford University is primarily based in which US state? | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Oh! I always get this the wrong way around. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Always get this the wrong way round. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
It's obviously going to be in New England so I'm wondering | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
if it is either New Hampshire, Connecticut or Massachusetts. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
I don't think it's Massachusetts. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-I'll try Connecticut. -Stanford University is not in Connecticut. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
-It's not in New England. It's in California. -Yes! -Oh. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
You've got five out of nine. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
Last question. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
What was jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke's real first name? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:50 | |
I only just about know which instrument he played. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
-William? -That really is a guess. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
Well, Bix, Billy, William. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
No, his real first name was Leon. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
Can I call that a poor score from you, CJ? Five out of ten. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-You'd normally do better than that. -You can call that absolutely awful. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
-Five, you think it's good enough to win? -It shouldn't be. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
It really shouldn't be. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
Well, the gauntlet has been laid down, Nigel and Sue. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
You've now got your target. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
You can now work together as a team to beat it. You have got four lives. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
They are going to be very precious at this point in the game. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
If you give me an incorrect answer, I will take a life away. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
If you beat CJ's target of five before you've lost | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
all your lives, you will leave here with the £2,000 prize money. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
OK, let's play. First question. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Referring to the UK naval special forces unit, | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
for what does the letter B stand in the acronym SBS? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Special Boat Squadron. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
You slightly jumped at it but I can accept that | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
but I was only looking for the word "boat". | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
-It's Special Boat Service... -Service. -..and B stands for boat, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
so you're quite right. Well done. That's a point to you. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
Second question. Remember, you're working together, OK? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
What was the title of Oasis' 1994 debut album? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
I've not the foggiest. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
-All I know is their songs. -Shall we say Don't Look Back In Anger? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
Yeah, it's either that or it's going to be Wonderwall or something | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
-so, yeah, go for it. -It could be Wonderwall. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
It's the only one I know. It's up to you. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
We don't really know but we are going to say Wonderwall. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
Wonderwall is a song, you are quite right, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:34 | |
but it's not their first album. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
Definitely Maybe is the title of the first album. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
-Oh, we didn't know that. No. -You lose a life. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
You are done to three lives. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
You've got to beat CJ's target of five. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
You heard how upset he was with his own score. Let's get cracking here. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
Your question, which astronomer was born on 25th November 1889 | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
in Marshfield, Missouri? | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
-What astronomers do you know? -Patrick Moore, no. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-No, it's not him. -Hubble? -I think is our best shot, isn't it? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:08 | |
-Go for it? Hubble. -I need a first name and a last name. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
-No, I'm sorry. -James Hubble. -James Hubble. No, Edwin Hubble. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:21 | |
I have to take away another life and it is very painful to do that | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
when you got the surname. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
You identified the person. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
So you're down to two lives, you need to beat five. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
The next question - | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
the first sub-four-minute mile was run in which city? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:37 | |
Oxford. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
Oxford is the right answer. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Two points, well done, you are getting there. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
£2,000 you're playing for, two lives left. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
In Greek mythology, Actaeon is usually said to have been | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
turned into which animal by Artemis? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Well, I've got a bear coming to mind but I really don't know. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
It could be bear, I was thinking of goat. It's not going to be a goat. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
-Go for it. -Bear? | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
No, it's a stag. You lose another life. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
Down to one life. Let's just take stock here. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
-£2,000 you're playing for, you've got to two. -He only got to five. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
You've got to get past five to win it. And you have one life left. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
You need to get the next four answers correct to win the money. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
The next wrong answer, the game is over. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Who directed the 2013 film Nebraska? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:28 | |
Not the faintest. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
The only one I would know would be Martin Scorsese. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-Are we going to say that then? -Go on, then. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
-That's the only one we can really... -Martin Scorsese. -Martin Scorsese... | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
..did not direct that film. It was Alexander Payne. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
You lose your last life. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Unfortunately, contestants, you have lost all your lives | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
and failed to beat CJ's target and that means you leave here | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
-with nothing, although I hope you enjoyed it. -We did. -Had a great time, thank you. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
Congratulations, CJ, reluctantly, I have to say you have | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
shown why you are an Egghead at some moments during this game. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:08 | |
He is frustrated with himself. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
Join us again next time when CJ will be doing his utmost to crush | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
another five contestants on Revenge Of The Egghead. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
Goodbye. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 |
