View Full Version : Eggheads!!!

October 12, 2007, 05:12 PM
Mrs Almareallymatters has come up with a spiffing idea - A Moz-Solo team to apply for Eggheads. Anyone interested, bung me a PM. Also - any suggestions for a team name? Disappointed? Dear God Please Help Me? Those Eggheads are not so tough - I played a quiz against three of them about 8 years ago, and whooped their sorry asses.
Bye for now,

You can count me in...obviously...if anybody hasn't seen the show its on NOW on BBC2...and every weekday evening at 6pm!:)
RANK could be good as a team name!

I think Eggheads v Smegheads would be a good combination. Maybe it's been done before though?
I wouldn't be much good, but I can lick my lips more than that smug Millionaire winner. :)

I've just asked Grim if he would be interested in this, but he's too thick. I always get the answers on Eggheads if they're multiple choice but would struggle on the stand alone questions.
Actually, Suedeheads v Eggheads would be worth watching no?

OK, I've got the application form, we need 6 people, got 2 already. We need photos, real names, ages, contact numbers - the whole shebang. Time is short, apparently.

The prize money rolls over to the next show if it isn't won...at the moment its about £8000...but a couple of weeks ago one team scooped £70,000!!! It goes up by £1000 each day until a team beats the Eggheads.
I think a Lads Club donation is a wonderful idea....but as Kewpie says...not ALL of it!!!!;)

I'm going with Anais...another Mozzy-Mummy!
We decided to go for Friday working on the assumption that most people will be at work and as we are both "layabouts" we are free to queue from lunchtime...thus ensuring a coveted barrier position! Well...that's the plan anyway!

There was a Morrissey question on Eggheads last night!...methinks they might have started reading our application form! :)
The question was "Who had a hit with the album Listen Without Prejudice"...the options were...
MORRISSEY
ELTON JOHN
GEORGE MICHAEL
The challenger got it right too...lets hope we get a Moz question when we're on! ;) Although could you imagine the SHAME if we got it wrong?!

Another Morrissey question on Eggheads this evening (I'm sure they must have been inspired by our application form...that's two Moz questions in as many weeks!)
The question was "who formed a successful song writing partnership with Johnny Marr in the 80's?"....MORRISSEY was the middle option....the guy not only got it right but he answered STEVEN PATRICK Morrissey...a fan surely? ;)
Keep the Moz questions coming Dermot...there's hope for The Suedeheads yet!

Back from the audition.
Finally Suedeheads (Uncleskinny, almareallymatters, TLOTFamousIP, Kitty3780 and myself) met for the first time!
We did a session against the team of In Style magazine who actually still hadn't got a name yet.
Peter brought us Suedehead T-shirts which impressed both In Style and production team.
First we did written general knowlege (5 multiple and 5 non-multiple) in 3 minutes.
1 on 1 session by subject:
Science (Peter, won)
Geography (not my strong subject, lost at sudden death) :o
Arts & Literature (Kitty, won)
Sport (TLOTFamousIP, lost at sudden death)
General Knowledge (alma, won)
Entertainment (Kitty, sudden death win)
At the end we did camera test which we're asked to introduce ourselves.
Sadly Jukebox Jury couldn't make it today, but we have rising stars Kitty and alma no need for worrying. ;)
Suedeheads has great presentation, team name and lively atomosphere which is a vital element for a TV programme and pretty confident to be selected for actual recording in few months time.
It was really lovely to meet all of the team. :)
However, I must admit that I was the most under-performed and ill-prepared team member, if we aren't selected, it's all my fault. :o

They had a pub quiz at our local for the first time last Sunday. Me & my brother were booed out after taking the cash. Won't be going back there for a while.

(I got down to the last 17, but didn't get 'randomly' selected as "the one" :mad:)

Aaaahhhhhh I get it now, multiple choice and Morrissey was one of the potential answers!:o
I was watching The Weakest Link before Eggheads (but didn't watch Eggheads) and I didn't get the full question, just vaguely heard something about 'former university' and the answer (correctly) given was
'Alma Mater'
so that's a kind of Morrissey related question!!:D

So any idea when it will be aired? I was watching it the other day and the other contestants won, which meant the pot went down to nowt again. Would be just your luck to win, but only £1000. Still it all counts eh?

Well, we recorded the show. We're not allowed to tell you how we did, but I can tell you the following...
It's not Dermot Murnaghan presenting anymore, it's Jeremy Vine who is a massive Smiths and Morrissey fan. He interspersed the proceedings with quotations from Smiths' and Morrissey songs, bless him.
Rule 1 - always think about what you've just been asked, and give an appropriate response:D
We did not disgrace ourselves.
Kitty, Alma and Kewpie will supply photographs, maybe later tonight.
We don't know when it will be aired - it could be some time because of Euro2008 and Wimbledon, or it could be sooner.
That's it really.
Cheers,
Peter

Also - as a hick from the fielded provinces, it came as a bit of a shock to witness a hammer attack in Shepherds Bush, outside the cafe in which we gathered to discuss tactics. A bloke walked in front of a car, the driver braked, and bounded out of the car with a hammer (which he just happened to be carrying), and set about the pedestrian. The perpetrator protested his innocence, despite there being at least 50 witnesses, and was carted away in a paddy wagon. Madness.

Nah, no logos, as Naomi Klein wrote. I must say that from start to finish I had a cracking time, nothing but good memories. Jeremy Vine was fantastic. He sang 'Jeane' with me at the end of the show. Fab.

Mrs Almareallymatters has come up with a spiffing idea - A Moz-Solo team to apply for Eggheads. Anyone interested, bung me a PM. Also - any suggestions for a team name? Disappointed? Dear God Please Help Me? Those Eggheads are not so tough - I played a quiz against three of them about 8 years ago, and whooped their sorry asses.
Bye for now,

Well, I'm sad that *I* cannot play! The few programmes I get on BBC America are just about it. Hasn't "Keeping Up Appearances" run its course?

My grandmother detests this man.
Infact, the three Eggheads fans in my family (grandmother, mother and I) have come to a conclusion that Judith and the bald bespectacled man are by far the most bearable.
