0:15:04 > 0:15:06Firstly, it is reported that Judi Dench was
0:15:06 > 0:15:10so nervous during a singing audition in 1968 that she
0:15:10 > 0:15:14sang from the wings, leaving her pianist alone on stage.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Even so, the audition landed her a leading role in the original
0:15:18 > 0:15:21London production of which Broadway musical?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- A Broadway musical from the '60s. - That she was the lead for.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Hairspray? No?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Anyone know?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I didn't know she could sing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35We don't know.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's Cabaret where she played Sally Bowles.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What is the stage name,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44secondly, of the UK grime artist Maxwell Owusu Ansah

0:15:48 > 0:15:51and who's attempted to duet with Dame Judi
0:15:51 > 0:15:54on his tracks Celebrate and Pow (Forward)?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I don't know his name.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Do you know? - I don't, I'm afraid.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- We don't know. - It's Lethal Bizzle.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06And, finally, in 2016, Judi Dench became the first person to win
0:16:06 > 0:16:10an eighth Olivier Award when she won best actress in a supporting
0:16:10 > 0:16:14role for her performance as Paulina in which played by Shakespeare?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04LAUGHTER
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Anyone like to buzz from Cardiff? You may not confer.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09One of you can buzz.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14None of you can spell his name?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15We don't know who he is!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17LAUGHTER
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Dear, oh, dear.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Tertiary education, eh? What has become of it?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23It was Nietzsche.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28N-I-E. Bad luck. You nearly had it, you said N-E-I.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Could've been N-E-EC-H-E-R.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33LAUGHTER
0:19:33 > 0:19:35When in a hole, stop digging, I think.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Correct. APPLAUSE
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Your bonuses, Queen Mary, are on countries of the Americas.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08In each case, give the short English name of the country from its description.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Firstly, an island country to the east to the Windward chain,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13slightly larger than the Isle of Wight,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16its name comes from the Portuguese for bearded.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24THEY WHISPER
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Aruba?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31No.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's Barbados. You should answer through your captain, anyway.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Five points for this. A country slightly larger than Wales,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41its name may derive from a Mayan word for muddy water
0:20:41 > 0:20:43but it's traditionally said to come from the Spanish
0:20:43 > 0:20:46pronunciation of the name Wallace,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48after a Scottish privateer.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Nominate.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Hispaniola?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04No, it's Belize. Hispaniola is an island.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07And, finally, a country about four times the size of the UK,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09with a population of 31 million.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Its name is a diminutive of the Spanish name
0:21:11 > 0:21:13of an Adriatic sea port.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Chile?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No, it's Venezuela.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Another starter question.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30What Latin preposition begins expressions meaning proportionally,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34temporary, and a lawyer's work done for the public good?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Saint Helena was the mother of which Roman emperor,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52victor at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312?
0:21:57 > 0:21:58No idea.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Cicero?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Cicero?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It's Constantine the Great.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06And, secondly, after her death,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Saint Helena was credited
0:22:07 > 0:22:10with the discovery of what Christian relic
0:22:10 > 0:22:13John Calvin stated that its extant fragments,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16if collected, would form a whole ship's cargo?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21No idea.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Do you know?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- No.- We don't know.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25The True Cross.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Helena's quest for the True Cross is the subject of the only
0:22:28 > 0:22:31historical novel by which literary figure,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35a Roman Catholic convert born in London in 1903?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Who is the famous Catholic convert?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I don't know.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Evelyn Waugh?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Is it Evelyn Waugh?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47It is Evelyn Waugh, yes.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Alfred?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05No. Anyone like to buzz from Cardiff?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07One of you may buzz.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- BUZZER - Cardiff, Trevelyan.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Alexander.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11No, its Cnut.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Ten points for this. Iron is one of only three elements
0:23:14 > 0:23:17that are ferromagnetic at room temperature.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Name either of the other two.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- BELL - Queen Mary, Dickinson.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Nickel.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Nickel, and the other is cobalt, yes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31APPLAUSE
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Right, your bonuses, Queen Mary, this time are on la la lands -
0:23:35 > 0:23:38in this case, fictional locations or organisations whose names
0:23:38 > 0:23:42either begin or end with the letters L-A.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45In each case, give the name from the description.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Firstly, a floating island in Swift's Gulliver's Travels,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51its inhabitants are skilled in mathematics and music
0:23:51 > 0:23:53but less so in practical matters.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I nominate Marcus.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Laputa.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Laputa is correct.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Secondly, a fictional American Baptist church
0:24:01 > 0:24:05on a satirical website, the tag line on its logo reads,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08"Where the worthwhile worship, unsaved, unwelcome."
0:24:12 > 0:24:14No.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15No, sorry.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's Landover Baptist Church.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21And, finally, a Himalayan utopia visited by outsiders
0:24:21 > 0:24:25in James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Sorry.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's Shangri-La. We're going to take a second picture round.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39For your picture starter, you are going to see a still from a film.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52The Nightmare Before Christmas is correct,

0:24:54 > 0:24:56In the spirit of Christmas.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm going to try to be nice to them.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I'm being nice to you as well of course.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Right, so, conceived by Tim Burton

0:25:22 > 0:25:24publicity still for a colour film.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33We don't know.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36That was The French Connection. Surely you recognise Gene Hackman.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- No, we don't.- Secondly...
0:25:45 > 0:25:46No.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48No.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49That's Brazil. And, finally...
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Do you know?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I do know but I can't think.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- No?- We don't know.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It's Trading Places. Ten points for this.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11"I dedicate this book to my parents, Margaret Thatcher and God."
0:26:11 > 0:26:14This is an example of a sentence pattern that purports to
0:26:14 > 0:26:19underline the importance of what specific punctuation device,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21often named after an English city?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- BELL - Queen Mary, Chiles.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32APPLAUSE
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Right, your bonuses, Cardiff, are on anatomy.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37In each case, give the term from the definition.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39All three begin with the same two letters.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Firstly, a bone in the wrist below the base of the thumb,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45also known as the great multangular.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It shares its name with a group of stars in the constellation Orion.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Metacarpal?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57No, it's trapezium.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Secondly, two boney prominences at the upper
0:27:00 > 0:27:04end of the femur are known as the greater and lesser.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Is it something to do with the hip joint?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Come on, let's have it, please.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Do you know? Shall we guess?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Nope. Tibia.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22No, it's trochanter.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26A valve, finally, with three flaps between the right atrium
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and the right ventricle of the heart.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Come on.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Queen Mary University of London have 110 points.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Well, Cardiff, there was
0:27:45 > 0:27:48something magisterial about the way you declined to answer
0:27:48 > 0:27:51questions but, unfortunately, that's not really the point of the game.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Thank you very much for joining us.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Many congratulations to you, Queen Mary. Thank you for joining us.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I hope you can join us next time for the final first round match,
