0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity issue of Eggheads, the show where

0:00:26 > 0:00:28a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36You might recognise them as Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads. Taking on the might

0:00:39 > 0:00:42of our quiz Goliaths today are the Breakfast Club.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44The team are not only good friends but also represent

0:00:44 > 0:00:49the quizzing creme de la creme of BBC news reporting.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Despite being former colleagues, I can assure you

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I will be showing them no favouritism whatsoever.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55Let's meet them.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm Bill Turnbull.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58I present Breakfast on BBC One,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01the nation's leading breakfast television programme.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello, my name's Sian Williams.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04I present Breakfast and the news

0:01:04 > 0:01:07and I'm really frightened about this quiz.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'm Nick Robinson, the BBC's political editor,

0:01:09 > 0:01:13and just because I have big glasses, doesn't make me clever.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm Louise Minchin, I present for BBC News and Breakfast,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18which has 10 million viewers a week.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hello, I'm Charlie Stayt and I present BBC Breakfast

0:01:21 > 0:01:25along with my colleagues here and I'm really bad at quizzes.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27What on earth are you doing here?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Are you mad? Do you know what these Eggheads are like?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, you know what it's like,

0:01:32 > 0:01:36lack of sleep doing Breakfast. Just completely dazed and confused.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Stumbled into the wrong studio.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- You were going home and now you're on Eggheads?- Yes.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Let me explain to you what is going on.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48There's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51If they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, Breakfast Club, the Eggheads won the last game,

0:01:54 > 0:01:59which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Who wants to go first?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Who's going to go for it? - That's what captain means, isn't it?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I'm the captain. All right. Go on.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- It's your responsibility to lead your troops into battle.- I'm leading.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Sian, the advantage is you get to choose any Egghead at this point.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Maybe I'll go with CJ.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26It would be an honour to beat you, Sian.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- That's fighting talk! - Gloves off, CJ, gloves off!

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Is it going to be CJ?- Yes.- OK.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Let's have Sian and CJ into the question room,

0:02:34 > 0:02:38just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Sian, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, first set for you then. Good luck, Sian.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49What name is given to a virulent satire in prose or verse

0:02:49 > 0:02:53that is a gratuitous and sometimes unjust and malicious attack

0:02:53 > 0:02:54on an individual?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'll go with lampoon, Dermot.

0:03:00 > 0:03:06Lampoon it is. It's the right answer. The solid start you wanted.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK, CJ, first question to you.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12What is the first volume in JRR Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21I read the trilogy when I was 14 and I'm so glad the films came out

0:03:21 > 0:03:23cos I couldn't remember a thing from the books.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- It's The Fellowship Of The Ring. - Fellowship Of The Ring is correct.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Sian, second question.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34Who wrote the 1980s dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40The Handmaid's Tale...

0:03:43 > 0:03:47I don't think it's Jeanette Winterson

0:03:47 > 0:03:51because I know a lot of her books

0:03:51 > 0:03:53and I can't remember that in it.

0:03:53 > 0:04:00Margaret Atwood is...ringing a bell. But not that loudly.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03And Angela Carter...

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Gosh, this was a hopeless category for me, wasn't it?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm gonna go with Margaret Atwood.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK. Lighting it up. No return.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17First instinct's usually the best, that's the right answer.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well done, Sian.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Second question to you, CJ.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26Diary Of A Church Mouse is a work by which Poet Laureate?

0:04:30 > 0:04:34It just sounds like Betjeman sort of stuff, doesn't it?

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Can't imagine it's Jonson.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Doesn't, to me, sound like ... It sounds just the sort of stuff

0:04:41 > 0:04:44that Betjeman would do, so I'm going to go for John Betjeman.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47John Betjeman, Diary Of A Church Mouse.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Sounds like it.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51It is it. It is the right answer.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK, Sian, if you get this,

0:04:53 > 0:04:57and CJ fails with his, you are through to the final round.

0:04:57 > 0:05:03Which artist is best known for his giant replica sculptures of everyday objects?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't think it's David Smith.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19I think it's either Bruce Nauman or Claus Oldenburg.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Giant...- Giant replica sculptures of everyday objects.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm gonna go with...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34You know you say, go with your first instincts?

0:05:34 > 0:05:38I am and it's going to be Bruce Nauman.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Oh, OK.- Or it might be Claes...no!

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I've gone with it now.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- It's Oldenburg.- Oh, no!

0:05:46 > 0:05:49What kind of stuff of the talking about, Eggheads?

0:05:49 > 0:05:50They are literally...

0:05:51 > 0:05:56- What?- Hamburgers, chairs. All kinds of things.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well, a chance for CJ there.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent,

0:06:00 > 0:06:03"but only vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself

0:06:03 > 0:06:07"and falls on the other", are lines from which Shakespeare play?

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Hamlet.- Macbeth.- Yes!

0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's sudden death. Great news, Sian.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Both got that last one wrong.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20It means Sian, you get no choices to look at.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Here you go. Who painted the Seagram murals,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26commissioned in 1958 for the restaurant in a drinks company's

0:06:26 > 0:06:31New York headquarters, and which now hang in Tate Modern?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35The first name that came to mind was Mark Rothko.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Is that your answer?- I'm just going to go with that one,

0:06:38 > 0:06:41because it is painful for everybody else,

0:06:41 > 0:06:45going through all my deliberations! So I'm going to go for Rothko.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51Mark Rothko. OK. It's painful for CJ, cos that's the right answer.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Not painful for anyone else. Well done, Sian.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56CJ, you've got to get this.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Which of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is a ribald story that culminates

0:07:01 > 0:07:06in a young adulterer having his backside burnt with a red hot poker?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09No, I don't know. I've only read about two or three of them.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20I'm trying to think of any I know with a young man in the title.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I'm sorry, I can't get this.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- The Knight's Tale.- The Knight's Tale.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29OK.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Ending up getting his bottom burnt with a red hot poker.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's not, and you're being ejected.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Not with a red hot poker. But you're out.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- It is, Eggheads?- The Miller's Tale.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42The Miller's Tale.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45The Miller's Tale. The tale of this, Sian, is that you're through.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48What a triumph, well done!

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Playing in the final round today. Would you both

0:07:52 > 0:07:54come back and join your teams.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01The Breakfast Club are all still there.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03We play our next round today which is Science.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07- We had a discussion of that before we started.- We did have a chat

0:08:07 > 0:08:11about who felt comfortable with Science and it's not Bill.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12I don't do Science!

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- This guy was looking the other way! - It was you or me, wasn't it?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Yes, it's either Nick or Louise.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I'm easy. - Shall we keep you with the politics?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I don't know. Am I going to go? OK.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26You do it, Lou, cos then if politics comes up...

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- He can do it. That's true. - Then I can be humiliated.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's not my best subject. Are we all clear with that?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- We are clear. - You can only do your best.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39But I really want to go with Daphne, cos my granny was called Daphne,

0:08:39 > 0:08:42and you look so nice. I know that you probably won't be.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43Be gentle with her, Daphne.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Let's have Daphne and Louise into the question room, please.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Do you want to go first or second? - I'm going to take Sian's very good example.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54She was so calm and she went for the first one.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56So I'm going to go first.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02OK. First question then, Louise.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05What is the term for a female rabbit?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm going to go for a doe.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16Doe for a female rabbit, a good start. One on the board.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Daphne...

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Think of Louise's granny.- I will.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24In physics, what is chromatics the study?

0:09:26 > 0:09:32I've never done physics but chromatics should be colour.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Chromatics...- I did Latin.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Ah, well, you worked it out. Colour is correct.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41One apiece. Back to you, Louise.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46In statistics, what name is given to the middle value in a sample?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52OK.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Axis, you turn on,

0:09:53 > 0:09:55so it could be but I really don't think it's that one.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00I think it's going to be a median, cos I did do Latin as well.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- And it sounds to me... - Touche, Daphne!- All right!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Like that should be in the middle.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08OK? In the middle, there.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11And it is the right answer, yes. Well done.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13OK. Daphne,

0:10:13 > 0:10:17the Large Hadron Collider which was first put into action

0:10:17 > 0:10:18in September 2008

0:10:18 > 0:10:22is the world's most powerful example of what type of device?

0:10:26 > 0:10:31- It's a particle accelerator. - Particle accelerator is correct.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Two each. Right, Louise.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38This might win it for you. In computer science, what is the name

0:10:38 > 0:10:43of thin blank, often white board, on which a prototype circuit is built?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Oh, my goodness. I mean, you know...

0:10:49 > 0:10:52You'd think it wouldn't be a cheeseboard or a breadboard,

0:10:52 > 0:10:54OR a cuttingboard, to be honest with you!

0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's white?

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Yes, you listened very carefully to the question.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's a thin, blank and often white.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Bread is not thin normally, when I eat it in my house.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's a really intelligent way of going round this!

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Cheese is not white, it's got to be a cuttingboard.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Cuttingboard? Your bread's probably not white either. It's a breadboard.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19I'm sorry, team. I'm sorry!

0:11:19 > 0:11:21You win if you get this, Daphne.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24In the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation,

0:11:24 > 0:11:27which waves have the shortest wavelength?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Oh, dear!- Ha-ha!

0:11:36 > 0:11:37I don't know.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45When I was at school, our houses were named

0:11:45 > 0:11:48after the first four letters of the Greek alphabet,

0:11:48 > 0:11:51and I was in Gamma House. So gamma rays.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57That's how an Egghead is giving me an answer?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Is it right?- Yes, it is right. It is the right answer.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Louise, I apologise on their behalf.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05We've asked you along to play and they do that to you!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Random, outrageous guessing.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Well played, Louise. Just caught out on that last question. Bad luck.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Means you won't be playing in the final round.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Daphne, you'll be there.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It is all square, both the Breakfast Club and the Eggheads

0:12:21 > 0:12:25have lost one brain from the final round. Level pegging.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Our third category today is Film & Television.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29The women have played so it's down to the chaps.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Bill, Nick or Charlie.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Would you like to volunteer, Charlie?- I'll put myself up for it.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38- "Would you like to volunteer"?! - I'm not claiming I'll be any good. - That's OK. I wasn't!

0:12:38 > 0:12:42- OK. It's Barry, Chris or Kevin for you, Charlie.- All right.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I've been watching them carefully to see which one sort of nodded

0:12:45 > 0:12:51most furiously during the questions. And I think I will go for Kevin.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Kevin. - I don't remember nodding at all.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54No, that's the reason.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh, I see.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58He very rarely moves at all.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Have I made a bad mistake?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03No, you have to knock them all out to win. OK.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Let's have Charlie and the three-times world quiz champion,

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Brain of Britain and Mastermind, Kevin Ashman,

0:13:09 > 0:13:11into the question room, please.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Do you want to go first or second, Charlie?- I'll go first.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Here you go. Who played the title role in the 2008 film The Duchess?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29I think I know this one.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- I'll go for Keira Knightley. - Did you see it?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- The film?- Yes.- You did?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37I hope I've got it right.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40He's just hoping I'm going to say... It is right, Charlie.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44How stupid would I have looked then?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Yeah, I saw it!

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I wouldn't do that to you, Charlie. First question, Kevin.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Phil Spencer and Kirsty Allsop present which television programme?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01They're property experts, aren't they?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04I believe that's Location, Location, Location, etc, etc, etc.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07In the sun, by the sea. Buy it now while stocks last.

0:14:07 > 0:14:13Location, Location, Location is right. One each. Charlie,

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Becky, Darlene and DJ were the children

0:14:15 > 0:14:18in the central family of which US TV series?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25OK, I'm old enough to remember Happy Days.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27And it wasn't Happy Days.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32I think I only ever saw The Wonder Years once.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35It was kind of a thing about an adolescent boy.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I don't think there was a whole family involved.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think it was just him. So I'll go for Roseanne.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Roseanne is the right answer, well done. Roseanne Barr.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46OK, two to you. Looking good.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Kevin, in the 1940 Howard Hawks comedy His Girl Friday,

0:14:49 > 0:14:53what is the profession of Cary Grant's character, Walter Burns?

0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's one of the many versions of the story

0:14:59 > 0:15:01that's usually called The Front Page.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04In this instance, Cary Grant plays the newspaper editor.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06That is the correct answer.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07So, Charlie,

0:15:07 > 0:15:11see if you can get this and put the pressure back on Kevin.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Who wrote the TV drama The Lakes, first broadcast in 1997?

0:15:19 > 0:15:26I think that was Jimmy McGovern and... Yeah. Jimmy McGovern.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30Jimmy McGovern wrote the Lakes. It's the right answer, Charlie.

0:15:30 > 0:15:35Very, very good. I can see you're noticeably relaxing in there.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- You think so? - Yeah, getting into the groove.

0:15:37 > 0:15:43OK, Kevin. Always relaxed. In the 1983 comedy film Trading Places,

0:15:43 > 0:15:47who played the the commodities trader Louis Winthorpe III?

0:15:50 > 0:15:51It's many years since I saw this.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Well, I saw it when it first came out. So it's 25 years.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01But the one who plays the Wall Street man who swaps places

0:16:01 > 0:16:05with Eddie Murphy's hustler is, I believe, Dan Aykroyd.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Yep, Dan Aykroyd.- Dan Aykroyd.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's the right answer. You're trading blows.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's all square, we go to sudden death.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Charlie, we remove those potential answers for you.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19You've just got to give me one from your own lips.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Which actor played the part of Dr David Banner

0:16:23 > 0:16:29in the TV series The Incredible Hulk which ran from 1978 to 1982?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Can I answer another question?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33If I get that right, can you give me that point?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK, the guy who play the Hulk.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39I can give you him. Lou Ferrigno.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I think that's brilliant, myself. But we want Dr David Banner.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- No. I'll have to pass. - OK. Kevin, do you know?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Bill Bixby. You see, you did know it.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Bill Bixby, Charlie? - It rings a bell now...

0:16:56 > 0:17:01The Hulk was better, he was the main part, wasn't he? Do I get a point?

0:17:01 > 0:17:05You can join the Eggheads, with that kind of knowledge,

0:17:05 > 0:17:06I tell you!

0:17:06 > 0:17:09It means, Kevin, you can win it if you get this.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Which film of the 1990s completed a clean sweep

0:17:12 > 0:17:14of the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor,

0:17:14 > 0:17:19Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay awards at the Oscars?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- So what's that, one, two, three...? - Five.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Sorry, I wasn't casting aspersions on your maths or anything like that.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28I could just about get over five.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Over ten, I have to take my shoes and socks off.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32I think it won some more as well.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I think it was The Silence Of The Lambs.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Silence Of The Lambs? What year?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39'91. The awards were for '91.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41The awards were made in '92.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Yes, Silence Of The Lambs is correct, Kevin.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Which means not a clean sweep but a squeak through there.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Kevin, you're into the final round. Charlie just missed out.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:17:54 > 0:17:58The balance tipping ever so slightly in favour of the Eggheads.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01They still lost that one brain from the final round,

0:18:01 > 0:18:03although the Breakfast Club have now lost two.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Time for a pep-talk there, captain Sian.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Here's your next, and last, subject -

0:18:08 > 0:18:11last chance to knock an Egghead out. It's Sport.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's Bill or Nick. Don't look down there, Nick, it's up this way!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- It's between you two. - I'll go for it.- You going for it?

0:18:20 > 0:18:24- It's a bit more you than me, is what Nick was saying.- They held me back!

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- You could get it.- We're done on rounds.- Yeah, OK. Sport.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33- It is one of the two at the end, Barry or Chris.- We'll have Barry.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Barry, OK. Let's have Bill and Barry into the question room, please.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- OK, Bill, which you like to go first or second?- Oh, we'll kick off.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Good luck.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Which football club signed Robinho for Real Madrid for a British record

0:18:50 > 0:18:55transfer fee of £32.5m in September 2008?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01This was a big sports story at the beginning of the season.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04He was supposed to go to Chelsea, but went to Manchester City.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Manchester City is right.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK... Barry.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,"

0:19:13 > 0:19:15is a famous quotation attributed to which boxer?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's the man who was voted Sports Person Of The Century

0:19:21 > 0:19:22and it was Muhammad Ali.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Muhammad Ali, quite right. Second question, Bill.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28The major league baseball team known as the Mets

0:19:28 > 0:19:30play home games in which American city?

0:19:34 > 0:19:39I happened to drive past the stadium just a few weeks ago. It's New York.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41New York is correct. Two to you.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44OK, Barry.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49Which European golfer won back-to-back Majors in 2008,

0:19:49 > 0:19:53when he triumphed in the Open and the US PGA Championship?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I was praying when you asked the question that Padraig Harrington

0:20:01 > 0:20:04came up, and lo and behold, there it is. So there's my answer.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07The Open and the US PGA. Harrington?

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Yes, it's the right answer. All square.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Bill. Which Essex batsman scored

0:20:13 > 0:20:19201 not out in a one-day match against Leicestershire in 2008?

0:20:25 > 0:20:29I'm not so good at cricket. I'm really not good at county cricket.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33HE SIGHS

0:20:35 > 0:20:39I'm gonna take just a complete stab in the dark

0:20:39 > 0:20:41and go for James Foster.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44It's Ravi Bopara, Bill.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Barry, a chance for you to win.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52Oh, and a sport I know you know something about.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Clive Sullivan, who captained Great Britain to victory

0:20:55 > 0:20:59in the 1972 Rugby League World Cup, was born in which city?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I may know something about rugby league,

0:21:05 > 0:21:07but I don't know where Clive Sullivan was born.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12I really don't know but something's telling me that,

0:21:12 > 0:21:16with a name as English as O'Sullivan, it's probably not London.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18So I'll take a blind guess and say Edinburgh.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Welsh by birth - Cardiff.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Yes, we knew that!

0:21:22 > 0:21:25You knew that? OK. A chance then, Bill. We go to sudden death.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29No more of those choices. Do you know this?

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Ellen Stawell-Brown, the first woman to serve overarm at Wimbledon,

0:21:34 > 0:21:38was the great-grandmother of which English tennis player?

0:21:38 > 0:21:42It's confusing cos you think, it will be a female tennis player,

0:21:42 > 0:21:44but not necessarily.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Brown. Great-grandmother.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47Overarm.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50It would have been in the days of long skirts.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Great-grandmother, take down two generations, somebody current.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I really don't know why I think this, but could it be Andy Murray?

0:21:59 > 0:22:02OK. It's not Andy Murray.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- It's Tim Henman.- Oh! That was the other name I had in my head.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I bet it was. Tiger Tim.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10OK, another chance for you, Barry.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Which British Formula One driver

0:22:12 > 0:22:16holds the record for the most pole positions in one season?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23I am toying with Jim Clark or Nigel Mansell.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26I know Nigel Mansell, when he won the title,

0:22:26 > 0:22:30won a number of Grand Prix on the trot, which was a record.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35Because he won the most on the trot, I think I'll go for Nigel Mansell.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36It is the right answer.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Yes. Nigel Mansell in 1992.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Do you know how many pole positions he got out of 16 races?

0:22:42 > 0:22:46- 15, wasn't it?- 14. And he won nine of the 16 races that season.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Barry has just won this particular race.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Means no place for you, Bill, in the final round.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Barry, you will be there. Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02It's time for the final round - General Knowledge.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:05 > 0:23:07won't be allowed to take part.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Bill, Louise and Charlie, from Breakfast Club,

0:23:10 > 0:23:14and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Sian and Nick, you're playing to win the Breakfast Club £2,000.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Kevin, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something

0:23:22 > 0:23:25no amount of money can buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn, this time the

0:23:29 > 0:23:32questions are all General Knowledge and you can confer.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Breakfast Club, the question is,

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?- SIAN: I doubt it!

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Sian and Nick, would you like to go first or second?

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Shall we go first? I think so.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45OK. Off we go. General Knowledge, best of luck.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Prince William caused a furore in the British media when he used

0:23:49 > 0:23:53which piece of military equipment to visit his girlfriend Kate Middleton?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59It would have been funnier if it had been a tank?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Yes, but we're going with helicopter.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Helicopter is correct. Good start, Breakfast Club.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07One to you.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Jenni Murray became the regular presenter of which

0:24:09 > 0:24:11long-running radio show in 1987?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19My mum used to listen to this, with me sitting on her lap.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20It was Woman's Hour.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24Woman's Hour is right, Eggheads. You're off to a good start.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27OK, Nick and Sian.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32What is the first name of Andrew Lloyd Webber's cellist brother?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37We're going with Julian, Dermot.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39It's two out of two. Julian is correct.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Julian Lloyd Webber. OK, Eggheads.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46A gurdwara is a place of worship in which religion?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yeah, it's a Sikh temple, Dermot.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54Gurdwara and Sikhism.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Correct, Eggheads. Two to you.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00If you get this, it could win it for you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Which news reporter was famously barged out of the way

0:25:03 > 0:25:07by Margaret Thatcher's press secretary, Bernard Ingham, when he

0:25:07 > 0:25:10tried to interview her on the steps of the Paris Embassy in 1990?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's twinkle toes, isn't it?

0:25:16 > 0:25:19A man who's built his career by being in the wrong place

0:25:19 > 0:25:22- at the wrong time, and dancing a lot. - John Sergeant.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24John Sergeant, of course it is.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Gives you the lead and will give you the money

0:25:27 > 0:25:29if the Eggheads get this wrong. Eggheads...

0:25:29 > 0:25:34Suspiria and Inferno are horror films directed by whom?

0:25:40 > 0:25:43That's Dario Argento, Dermot.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45How do you know these things?! That is right.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I thought that might get 'em.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50OK, it's all square, sudden death.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Sian and Nick, which abstract Expressionist painter

0:25:54 > 0:25:58produced the works, Autumn Rhythm and Lavender Mist?

0:25:58 > 0:26:01The name that came into my head was Paul Klee,

0:26:01 > 0:26:03but I don't know that that's right.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I don't recognise the titles at all,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09so I'm guessing on a style of painting.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12It wasn't Howard Hodgkin, was it?

0:26:12 > 0:26:16I'm going to pump with you, because you got things right earlier.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17- Well...- Go for it.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24Because Klee does those little...doesn't he? Little squares.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Bits of colour, therefore you wouldn't expect it to be...- Abstract?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Abstract Expressionist painter.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33I don't think we're going to get this. Just try that one.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Shall I?- Yeah, go for it.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Well, I'm going to go with Harold Hodgkin, but I've got...

0:26:38 > 0:26:40It doesn't feel right in my bones.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Howard Hodgkin is your answer?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45He's doing that thing, isn't he?

0:26:45 > 0:26:50He is doing that kind of... Daphne's looking pleadingly at me.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52You think not Paul Klee, because of the bits of colour?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55It's only the way he reacted. It worried me.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56We'll go with him, then.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Is that your answer?

0:26:58 > 0:26:59- Is it Kli or Klee?- Klee.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Paul Klee.- Yeah.- OK. Paul Klee we have taken.- It's Howard Hodgkin!

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Don't say it's Howard Hodgkin.

0:27:05 > 0:27:11- It's not Howard Hodgkin, but it's not Paul Klee, either.- Who is it?

0:27:11 > 0:27:16- Eggheads, do you know?- Jackson Pollock.- Jackson Pollock, of course.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Again, with the list there I reckon you'd have gone for old Jackson.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23First one wrong in the entire game so far.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28Eggheads, which Italian car mark uses a trident symbol

0:27:28 > 0:27:29on the front of its cars?

0:27:29 > 0:27:33CJ knows, but he's gone! You knocked him out.

0:27:33 > 0:27:39- It's not Ferrari, that's a snake. - Ferrari's got the horse.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44- Alfa Romeo's the snake. - Oh, Ferrari's the prancing horse.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49Lamborghini, I think might be. Is Lamborghini a bull?

0:27:49 > 0:27:51One of them uses a ball.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53I thought Maserati.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Sounds reasonable.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59It's all square, if it's wrong. We'll go with Maserati, Dermot.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02Maserati. OK.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Maserati you've gone for.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07It is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Couldn't have been tighter. Couldn't have been tighter.- Well...

0:28:14 > 0:28:17One question in it. You know what you were up against.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21You're very good, I'll give you that. Very good.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24Bad luck, Breakfast Club. Thank you for playing.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Bill, Louise and Charlie.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Gallant effort in those head-to-heads.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Thanks for sparing the time to take on the Eggheads.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37I'm afraid you haven't won the £2,000, which means that the money

0:28:37 > 0:28:40rolls over to the next show.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:42 > 0:28:46Join us next time to see if a team of celebrity sports stars

0:28:46 > 0:28:48will have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Until then, goodbye.
