These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:030:00:07

Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:080:00:14

The question is: can they be beaten?

0:00:160:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits

0:00:230:00:27

against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:270:00:33

Taking on our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:330:00:35

are the Tooth Fairies.

0:00:350:00:37

They all work for the same dental surgery in Burton on Trent,

0:00:370:00:41

except for Steve who is team captain Donna's father-in-law. Let's meet them.

0:00:410:00:47

Hi, I'm Donna, I'm 31 and I'm a dentist.

0:00:470:00:51

I'm Venay, I'm 25 and I've worked as a dentist for two and a half years.

0:00:510:00:56

I'm Cara, I'm 41, I've been a dentist for 17 years.

0:00:560:01:00

I'm Steve, I'm 63 and I'm a retired physics teacher.

0:01:000:01:04

Hello, my name is Lesley, I'm 56 and I've been a dental nurse for 33 years.

0:01:040:01:09

Donna and team, welcome to you. So connected through a dental surgery?

0:01:090:01:15

Right. Steve's my father-in-law, but we do quizzes together as well.

0:01:150:01:19

He's also my patient, so we thought we'd apply to Eggheads together because we all like a good quiz.

0:01:190:01:26

Excellent. Hopefully drilling into this lot here.

0:01:260:01:30

-In a nice way!

-So I'm assuming your patients will be watching and cheering you on.

0:01:300:01:36

Only a select few know so far, so hopefully a few will mention it next time we're in.

0:01:360:01:42

Let's hope you do well here. There is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers every day.

0:01:420:01:49

However, if they fail to win it rolls over to the next show.

0:01:490:01:54

So, Tooth Fairies, this is rather exciting.

0:01:540:01:57

The Eggheads have won the last 34 games. That cuts both ways.

0:01:570:02:02

You've got to try and stop them. They're on great form,

0:02:020:02:07

-but a great jackpot. So it's certainly worth playing.

-I think so!

0:02:070:02:12

-Do you want to start?

-Let's start.

0:02:120:02:15

The first head to head is on Science. Tooth Fairies, which one of you wants this?

0:02:150:02:23

I think Venay would be the best.

0:02:230:02:26

-- Are you happy? - We'll volunteer Venay.

-OK.

0:02:260:02:29

-And against which Egghead?

-Which Egghead?

0:02:290:02:33

- I suggest Kevin. - Yes, I think so.

0:02:330:02:36

You're strong on science.

0:02:360:02:38

-We're going to decide to go against Kevin.

-Venay versus Kevin.

0:02:380:02:43

To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:02:430:02:50

Venay, I'm hoping something dental-related will come up, but science is broad.

0:02:500:02:55

I wish it was to do with dentistry, but I'm sure I can answer quite a few questions to do with science.

0:02:550:03:01

-Did you study that?

-I did it during GCSEs and A Levels.

0:03:010:03:07

And I gather you practise an obscure martial art?

0:03:070:03:10

-Yes, I do.

-What is that called?

-Muay Thai boxing.

0:03:100:03:15

-Muay Thai boxing?

-Yes.

-You can use that on Kevin.

0:03:150:03:19

-If he gets too many answers right I might have to do that.

-That or the drill!

0:03:190:03:25

-Yeah.

-Good luck. Science. Would you like to go first or second?

0:03:250:03:29

Em, first, please.

0:03:290:03:31

Here we go. Which creatures are most likely to travel together in a V formation?

0:03:350:03:40

Well, I don't think it's mice.

0:03:430:03:47

I don't think it's ants. I see them

0:03:470:03:49

usually in a straight line if I ever have seen them together.

0:03:490:03:53

I would probably go with birds because I've seen them in a V shape.

0:03:530:03:58

Well, that helps if you've seen it. Birds is the right answer.

0:03:580:04:04

OK, Kevin.

0:04:040:04:06

What name is usually given to an excess of an electrical charge built up on the body of an object?

0:04:060:04:11

You know it when you encounter it. It's static electricity.

0:04:160:04:21

Static electricity is right.

0:04:210:04:24

How does one stop getting shocked?

0:04:240:04:26

-Am I wearing the wrong shoes or what?

-It just builds up sometimes. Walk away and find another room,

0:04:260:04:33

if that's possible.

0:04:330:04:35

Venay, in 1877, Thomas Edison reproduced the human voice for the first time

0:04:350:04:41

when he recorded himself reciting which rhyme?

0:04:410:04:45

I'm not actually too sure.

0:04:510:04:53

I wouldn't think it was Old Macdonald Had A Farm.

0:04:530:04:57

-I would probably go with Mary Had A Little Lamb.

-Eggheads?

0:04:580:05:02

-That's right.

-That's right, Venay. Well done.

0:05:020:05:07

OK, Kevin, your question.

0:05:070:05:09

The crypts of Lieberkuhn are found in which part of the body?

0:05:090:05:13

It's Lieberkuhn. All one word. Lieber is L-I-E-B-E-R.

0:05:170:05:21

Then K-U umlaut-H-N.

0:05:210:05:23

Crypts...

0:05:230:05:25

Crypts implies...

0:05:260:05:28

..hollow space, I suppose.

0:05:290:05:32

Crypts, obviously,

0:05:320:05:34

-is C-R-Y-P-T-S as in "crept into"?

-Yeah.

0:05:340:05:39

Yeah.

0:05:390:05:41

You could make a case for there being areas of hollow space with any of those.

0:05:430:05:49

The percentage guess for these sorts of things is always the brain

0:05:490:05:54

because of the sheer variety in it, but I've never heard of that.

0:05:540:05:59

I'll try the brain.

0:05:590:06:01

Daphne's shaking her head. Daphne?

0:06:010:06:03

It's the intestines.

0:06:030:06:05

-The intestines, Kevin.

-Never heard of it.

0:06:050:06:09

Well, well, well.

0:06:090:06:11

This is a nice handy start.

0:06:110:06:14

Venay, get this right and you've knocked out Kevin.

0:06:140:06:17

Which of these flowers belong to the genus ranunculus?

0:06:170:06:23

The genus...does it indicate it would be something like buttercup?

0:06:270:06:32

I'm not too sure about this. I've never heard of that genus before.

0:06:340:06:39

But I would think it's either snapdragon or lupin.

0:06:400:06:43

-Which is snapdragon.

-Snapdragon. You started with buttercup there.

0:06:460:06:51

-Yes.

-I was trying to work out your logic.

0:06:510:06:55

You said it sounds like buttercup?

0:06:550:06:57

-No, I was just thinking buttercup doesn't sound like that genus.

-Oh, I see.

0:06:570:07:03

Well, Kevin has only been knocked out on Science twice in the history of Eggheads.

0:07:030:07:09

You've got the wrong answer.

0:07:090:07:11

If you'd said buttercup, it would be the third time.

0:07:110:07:15

It may yet. Third question, Kevin.

0:07:150:07:17

Get this wrong and you are out. Which term was chosen by astronomers from Johns Hopkins University

0:07:170:07:23

to describe the colour of the universe?

0:07:230:07:27

This is not going well!

0:07:310:07:34

Obviously a strong coffee connection there.

0:07:360:07:40

Unlikely to be Milky Mocha.

0:07:400:07:43

I'm sure I've heard this, but I can't remember which of the others. I don't think it's Milky Mocha.

0:07:430:07:49

I'll try flat white.

0:07:510:07:53

-Daphne?

-I think he's right.

-You think he's right?

-Yes.

-Wrong!

0:07:530:07:58

It's cosmic latte. Well done, Venay! You are in the final round.

0:07:580:08:02

Kevin has been knocked out. I can't believe that answer. Yeah.

0:08:020:08:06

I didn't have to use the drill or the Muay Thai.

0:08:060:08:12

A very clean victory for you. Non-violent, well done.

0:08:120:08:16

Both of you please come back and rejoin your teammates.

0:08:160:08:21

Donna, that's a good start.

0:08:210:08:23

-It is!

-To take down the top player.

-Quite unexpected against Kevin. No offence, Venay!

0:08:230:08:29

Only the third time on Eggheads, which is now more than ten years, is that right?

0:08:290:08:36

-Not quite.

-It is in terms of years, but if you count months we're not quite there.

0:08:360:08:43

Every single fact is challenged. They can't even agree on that.

0:08:430:08:47

-Anyway, three Science rounds only, Kevin...

-Yeah.

-..we've seen you go down on.

0:08:470:08:55

-They happen.

-They happen, but you've got to be a good player.

0:08:550:08:59

The Tooth Fairies have not lost a brain. Eggheads have lost Kevin.

0:08:590:09:04

The next subject is Sport.

0:09:040:09:06

Who would like this, Donna?

0:09:060:09:08

It's between Lesley and Cara, I'd suggest. Not me!

0:09:080:09:12

-We're thinking it won't be Cara. Lesley.

-I don't want to do it.

0:09:120:09:18

- Would you like to? - Not really, but I will!

0:09:180:09:21

- Yeah, OK. - Lesley, please.

0:09:210:09:24

-OK, Lesley on Sport. Against?

-Come on, Judith. I'll take on Judith.

0:09:240:09:29

-She likes it as much as I do.

-Oh, I see. So we've got a sporting void here, have we?

0:09:290:09:36

-Just a wee one.

-All right. That can happen. Good luck, Lesley. And good luck, Judith.

0:09:360:09:43

-Thank you.

-Not Judith's favourite subject either. Do go to the Question Room.

0:09:430:09:49

-Lesley, rugby is a big part of your life.

-It is indeed, yes.

-You married a rugby player.

-I have.

0:09:490:09:57

-So you have to watch all the games.

-I have, yes. Cold, windy weather and all sorts.

0:09:570:10:03

-Any other kinds of sport?

-Athletics.

-The Olympics was a great moment to focus on them all.

-It was.

0:10:030:10:10

Oh, dear.

0:10:100:10:12

-Lesley, you can choose to go first or second.

-I'll go first, please.

0:10:120:10:17

Good luck to the Tooth Fairies.

0:10:200:10:24

Who was the recipient of the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award?

0:10:240:10:29

I know it wasn't Jessica.

0:10:330:10:36

I'm sure it's Bradley Wiggins.

0:10:360:10:39

Absolutely right. Well done. Bradley Wiggins.

0:10:390:10:42

OK, Judith.

0:10:420:10:44

In 2007, which British Olympian launched the Sporting Giants initiative

0:10:440:10:49

to discover new sporting talent?

0:10:490:10:51

I think of all those it's probably Steve Redgrave.

0:10:560:11:02

Steve Redgrave is the right answer.

0:11:020:11:05

Back to you, Lesley.

0:11:050:11:07

Mike Denness, who captained the England cricket team in the '70s, was born in which part of the UK?

0:11:070:11:14

Really not sure on this at all.

0:11:170:11:20

I'll just go down the right and say Scotland.

0:11:200:11:24

-Eggheads? Is she right?

-Yeah.

0:11:240:11:26

-Oh, you're joking!

-Well done.

0:11:260:11:29

OK, over to you, Judith.

0:11:290:11:31

As well as a sizeable purse, the winner of the Kentucky Oaks,

0:11:310:11:38

an annual Grade 1 stakes race for three-year-old fillies,

0:11:380:11:43

traditionally receives a garland of what type of flowers?

0:11:430:11:48

The Kentucky Oaks, presumably, is in America.

0:11:530:11:59

In Kentucky. I'm trying to think what the climate is in Kentucky.

0:11:590:12:04

And I wonder what time of year it is.

0:12:040:12:07

I really don't think it would be fuchsias. I just don't think so.

0:12:070:12:12

It's difficult to make garlands out of irises. They have stiff stalks.

0:12:120:12:17

I think it's more likely to be lilies.

0:12:170:12:21

So I'll go for lilies.

0:12:220:12:24

Lilies is correct. Brilliant logic.

0:12:240:12:27

It is, of course, in Kentucky in the USA.

0:12:270:12:32

The Kentucky Derby, which will be at the same time as that, roughly,

0:12:320:12:37

is the Run for the Roses. They get a garland of roses.

0:12:370:12:41

-If roses had been there, it would have been tricky.

-Unless you know.

0:12:410:12:46

OK, two out of two.

0:12:470:12:50

Get this right to put pressure on Judith. Which golfer, who won a total of 11 Majors in his career,

0:12:500:12:57

became the first American-born player to win the British Open, in 1922?

0:12:570:13:03

Golf really doesn't come into my sporting knowledge.

0:13:080:13:13

Bobby Jones...

0:13:130:13:15

I'll go...Ben Hogan. I really don't know.

0:13:160:13:20

-Ben Hogan, please.

-OK, Ben Hogan. Does anyone on your team know?

0:13:200:13:25

-Any ideas?

-I'd have said Hogan.

0:13:250:13:28

-Anyone on this side?

-Hagen.

-It is Walter Hagen.

0:13:280:13:32

-OK.

-But two out of three. You're not out yet.

0:13:320:13:36

Judith still has to get this right.

0:13:360:13:38

What nationality is the skier Ivica Kostelic?

0:13:380:13:44

All these things end in "ic", do they?

0:13:470:13:50

Ivica is I-V-I-C-A.

0:13:500:13:53

Kostelic is K-O-S-T-E-L-I-C.

0:13:530:13:56

Well again, just simply going by the ending,

0:13:560:14:01

Croatians are apt to have "ic" at the end of their names,

0:14:010:14:05

so I would say Croatian.

0:14:050:14:08

Croatian is the right answer. A triumph for you on sport!

0:14:080:14:13

Sorry, Lesley. She's knocked you out and she will be in the final round.

0:14:130:14:19

Please rejoin your teammates and we'll play on.

0:14:190:14:23

Right, so it's evening up a bit. The Tooth Fairies have lost a brain from the final round

0:14:230:14:28

and the Eggheads have also lost a brain. Kevin, no less. The next subject is Geography.

0:14:280:14:34

Oh, it's my worst subject.

0:14:340:14:36

-How good are you?

-It's going to be Cara, I think.

0:14:360:14:41

-We've got a willing victim. Cara.

-OK, Cara. Now you can't have Judith or Kevin.

0:14:410:14:47

-One of the others.

-What do you think?

0:14:470:14:51

- Daphne can guess everything! - She can.

0:14:510:14:53

Chris and trains and geography, probably very good. Dave I'm inclined to go for.

0:14:530:15:00

OK, let's try Dave, please.

0:15:000:15:03

-Ready for it, Dave?

-Yeah.

-Cara from the Tooth Fairies versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:15:030:15:10

To ensure there's no conferring, please take your leave of us.

0:15:100:15:14

Good luck in this round. It's pretty evenly poised here.

0:15:140:15:19

There's so much at stake. £35,000. Cara, do you want to go first or second?

0:15:190:15:25

Oh, I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:15:250:15:27

Here we go. What name is sometimes given to states in the middle of the US

0:15:310:15:36

which are not traditional tourist destinations and are generally flown over from coast to coast?

0:15:360:15:42

Handover doesn't sound right.

0:15:470:15:50

Passover, no. I think I'll go straight down the middle Flyover states.

0:15:500:15:56

Exactly as it says on the tin. Flyover states is how they're described.

0:15:560:16:00

Must be a bit painful

0:16:000:16:02

to live in a flyover state.

0:16:020:16:05

-They probably don't notice.

-Best example would be Kansas?

0:16:050:16:10

-Iowa, Missouri.

-Dave,

0:16:100:16:13

what name is given to the counties that surround London?

0:16:130:16:18

That's the Home Counties, Jeremy.

0:16:220:16:24

It is indeed. Going out of fashion, that phrase, a bit.

0:16:240:16:28

Back to you, Cara. The Vosges Mountains are located in which part of France?

0:16:280:16:34

And Vosges is V-O-S-G-E-S. Vosges.

0:16:370:16:41

Hmm, not sure about this one.

0:16:430:16:46

I will plump for east.

0:16:460:16:49

East is your answer. Let me check with Judith, who lives there.

0:16:490:16:53

Yes, it is the east.

0:16:530:16:55

Correct. Well done.

0:16:550:16:59

Dave, your question. The area of land called Bir Tawil, which is not officially owned by any country,

0:16:590:17:05

lies between Egypt and which other country?

0:17:050:17:09

Em, not sure at all, but I'll go down the middle. Libya.

0:17:120:17:16

A pretty good question. I'd never heard of it before.

0:17:160:17:20

-It's not Libya. It's Sudan, Dave.

-Oh, right, OK.

0:17:200:17:24

Can anyone tell us about Bir Tawil?

0:17:240:17:26

It all goes back to when the maps were being drawn up.

0:17:260:17:31

There was a mess up with the mapping. Nobody claimed this or wants it,

0:17:310:17:36

so it's just sort of there as a hole in the map.

0:17:360:17:39

-It's desert, I'm assuming.

-Desert, yeah.

0:17:390:17:42

How interesting. So the score has you ahead, Cara,

0:17:420:17:46

which is really, really good.

0:17:460:17:49

If you get this right, you've knocked Dave out, simple as that.

0:17:490:17:53

The Bounty Islands in the South Pacific ocean are territorially part of which country?

0:17:530:18:00

Bounty Islands.

0:18:020:18:05

It's going to be a guess, Jeremy. I am going to plump for...

0:18:070:18:12

New Zealand.

0:18:120:18:15

You've got it on the nail! Well done, Cara!

0:18:150:18:18

Three out of three. You've knocked out Dave.

0:18:180:18:22

So you will be in the final. This contest really is hotting up. Come back to us and we'll play on.

0:18:220:18:29

As it stands, the Tooth Fairies have lost one brain. Looking good. I don't want to jinx it,

0:18:300:18:36

but you're playing well. You've lost one, the Eggheads have lost two.

0:18:360:18:41

The last subject before the final is Music.

0:18:410:18:45

Who would like Music?

0:18:450:18:47

-Better be you, Donna.

-I'll volunteer.

-Donna on Music, OK.

0:18:470:18:51

-10CC had a song called Donna.

-My dad used to sing it to me.

0:18:510:18:55

Really? Oh, that dates me. Donna from the Tooth Fairies versus which Egghead?

0:18:550:19:01

-It can be Daphne or Chris.

-Just on the basis that I'm sorry you're not feeling very well - Chris.

0:19:010:19:08

I'm not exactly at death's door! Just not firing on all cylinders.

0:19:080:19:14

Chris from the Eggheads, Donna from the Tooth Fairies. Prepare to do battle. Do leave us.

0:19:140:19:19

So you have recently given birth to a little girl.

0:19:200:19:24

I have. A little girl called Emily. She's four months old.

0:19:240:19:27

Good luck and I hope you do well against Chris. Still ailing?

0:19:270:19:33

-I'll get there, Jeremy.

-OK, well, don't play too well.

0:19:330:19:38

-On Music, Donna. First or second?

-I'll go second, please.

0:19:380:19:43

Here we go, Chris. What is the name of the man who is asked, "Where's your troosers?"

0:19:460:19:52

in the title of Andy Stewart's 1960 UK Top 40 single?

0:19:520:19:57

# Let the wind blow high Let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I go

0:20:000:20:05

# All the lassies shout, "Hello! "Donald, where's your troosers?" # Donald.

0:20:050:20:09

-If it hadn't been Donald, that would have been hilarious.

-It would.

-But it is. Well done.

0:20:090:20:15

Donna, how many wheels are on my wagon, in the song by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard?

0:20:170:20:25

It's not coming to mind straight away, but you wouldn't imagine three, so I'm ruling that out.

0:20:270:20:33

Most wagons, in my experience, have four, so unless it's some quirky song title, I'll go for four.

0:20:330:20:41

I don't know the song. Anyone? Daphne? No? Chris...

0:20:410:20:46

# Three wheels on my wagon And I'm still rollin' along

0:20:460:20:49

# The Cherokee are after me They look mad, things look bad... #

0:20:490:20:54

They lost a wheel, Donna. They lost a wheel.

0:20:540:20:57

So three is the answer. Chris is in the lead. Your question.

0:20:570:21:01

In 2012, the video for which song became the first to reach one billion views on YouTube?

0:21:010:21:08

I've said to the people who play it in the pub, I'll go berserk. It's Gangnam Style.

0:21:140:21:21

Gangnam Style is correct. Donna, your question.

0:21:210:21:26

When the music company EMI was formed, for what did the letter I stand?

0:21:260:21:32

I don't think it's International.

0:21:360:21:38

Music Industries... I immediately thought Industry.

0:21:380:21:43

I'm now doubting myself and wondering if it's Incorporated.

0:21:470:21:51

Industries or Incorporated.

0:21:540:21:57

Music Industries... I'm going to go for Incorporated, against my better judgment.

0:21:570:22:04

I wish you'd stayed with Industries. Electric and Music Industries is the answer.

0:22:040:22:10

Now Chris has got two,

0:22:100:22:12

so there's no way back for you.

0:22:120:22:14

Chris is in the final round, Donna. Sorry, you've been knocked out.

0:22:140:22:19

If you both come back we will play that final.

0:22:190:22:22

This is what we've been playing towards. The final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:22:220:22:27

But those of you who lost

0:22:270:22:30

won't be allowed to take part. So Donna and Lesley

0:22:300:22:35

and also Kevin and Dave, would you please now leave the studio?

0:22:350:22:40

So Venay, Cara and Steve, you are playing to win the Tooth Fairies £35,000.

0:22:400:22:46

Judith, Daphne and Chris are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:460:22:52

I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:520:22:59

Tooth Fairies, are your three brains able to overcome the Eggheads' three over here? Let's see.

0:22:590:23:06

-Would you like to go first or second?

-First?

-We'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:23:060:23:13

Best of luck to you.

0:23:170:23:20

What age was Winston Churchill when he became Prime Minister for the second time in 1951?

0:23:200:23:26

-OK...

-'51. I remember the funeral.

-Yes.

0:23:300:23:35

-In the mid '60s.

-Mm-hm.

0:23:350:23:38

Sort of 11, 15 years before.

0:23:380:23:40

Yes. So 66 sounds fair for then, Steve. OK.

0:23:420:23:45

I think we'll go for 66, Jeremy.

0:23:450:23:48

He was older than that. He was 76.

0:23:490:23:53

I was born in '65. I think that was the year of his death.

0:23:530:23:57

-How old was he when he died?

-Well, born in 1873.

0:23:570:24:01

He was old enough to go to the Boer War.

0:24:010:24:05

So in '63 he was 90. So he was 92-ish.

0:24:050:24:08

And he was old enough to fight in the Boer War.

0:24:080:24:12

-So he must have been born in 18...

-Chris says 1873.

0:24:120:24:15

1873, yeah.

0:24:150:24:18

All right. There we go.

0:24:180:24:21

76 is the answer.

0:24:210:24:23

What is the surname of the art historian and nun, Sister Wendy?

0:24:230:24:28

- Beckett. - Sister Wendy Beckett.

0:24:300:24:34

She is Sister Wendy Beckett.

0:24:340:24:37

Daphne says Beckett and you are correct, Eggheads.

0:24:370:24:41

Over to you, Tooth Fairies.

0:24:410:24:43

In Sweden, which day is known as Julafton?

0:24:430:24:47

Could you spell that, Jeremy?

0:24:510:24:54

J-U-L-A-F-T-O-N. All one word.

0:24:540:24:58

Julafton.

0:24:580:25:00

-Christmas Eve, Yule...

-Yes. I think so, Steve.

0:25:000:25:05

-Yeah.

-Shall we?

-Yeah.

0:25:050:25:07

I think we'll go for Christmas Eve, Jeremy.

0:25:070:25:11

Steve, you are right. Christmas Eve it is. Well done.

0:25:110:25:16

We need the Eggheads to slip up.

0:25:160:25:18

Let's see. Your question, Eggs.

0:25:180:25:21

In which decade did Queen Elizabeth II abolish the ceremony of having debutantes presented at Court?

0:25:210:25:28

-'50s.

-'50s.

0:25:320:25:34

That's the 1950s.

0:25:360:25:39

1950s is your answer.

0:25:390:25:42

Debutantes as in young women who were graduating or...?

0:25:420:25:46

They were presented at Court and curtsied to the King or Queen.

0:25:460:25:50

-And what was a debutante?

-It means making your debut.

0:25:500:25:55

Coming out. Young ladies setting out in society.

0:25:550:26:00

-Did you do that, Judith?

-No, cos it had finished.

-Of course.

0:26:000:26:05

1950s is the right answer.

0:26:060:26:08

JEREMY LAUGHS

0:26:090:26:11

-It finished some years before.

-Absolutely.

0:26:110:26:15

It was barely a memory. OK, the Eggheads have two. You need to get this one right.

0:26:150:26:21

Get it wrong and it's over. Get it right, they may well fail

0:26:210:26:25

and then we're into sudden death.

0:26:250:26:28

Here's your question. Who wrote the Tony Hill series of thrillers,

0:26:280:26:33

adapted for television under the name Wire In The Blood?

0:26:330:26:37

I don't think it was Lynda La Plante. What do you think?

0:26:430:26:47

-I've heard of it.

-PD James is detective stories.

0:26:470:26:53

-Yeah... Is it not a bit more modern than PD James?

-I don't know Val McDermid or anything she's done.

0:26:530:27:01

-I...personally would have gone for Lynda La Plante.

-Would you?

-Yes.

0:27:010:27:07

PD James is...

0:27:090:27:11

-Dalgliesh, I think.

-OK.

-Inspector Dalgliesh.

0:27:120:27:17

I'm not too familiar with it.

0:27:170:27:19

-Yeah...

-It's either Val McDermid or Lynda La Plante.

-Yes.

0:27:190:27:23

-You're drawn to Lynda La Plante?

-I am, but I don't know.

0:27:230:27:28

-I don't know Val McDermid or anything about her.

-Yep.

0:27:280:27:33

I'm happy to go with that, Steve.

0:27:330:27:36

We're not really sure, but Lynda La Plante.

0:27:360:27:39

Let's see if the Eggheads know.

0:27:390:27:42

-Val McDermid.

-You've got it.

0:27:420:27:46

Val McDermid is the answer. So no way back there.

0:27:460:27:51

We have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.

0:27:510:27:56

They are making a habit of winning. You're in good company.

0:28:010:28:05

-How many teams - 35? 36? - have gone this way already?

-Yeah.

0:28:050:28:10

A whole load of teams have gone this way and failed.

0:28:100:28:14

Commiserations, Tooth Fairies. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues.

0:28:140:28:20

You won't be going home with the £35,000. It rolls over.

0:28:200:28:25

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:250:28:28

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can beat them.

0:28:280:28:33

£36,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
