0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the show where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:30 > 0:00:33against possibly Britain's greatest quiz team.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37You might recognise them. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Challenging our resident quiz goliaths today are the Odd Balls,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48team captain John Inverdale and four former sporting greats.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52But as Mark Lawrenson might say when the final whistle comes,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55will they be sick as a parrot or over the moon?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Let's meet them.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01I'm John Inverdale. I spend my life talking about these guys playing sport.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06I'm Dennis Taylor. I won the World Snooker Championship in 1985.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I work as a commentator for the BBC.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm Mark Lawrenson, ex-footballer, now BBC pundit.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I'm Graham Bell, former Olympic skier, now presenter of Ski Sunday.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20I'm Bob Champion. I used to be a National Hunt jockey,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25and I rode the winner of the 1981 Grand National on Aldaniti.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Welcome, Odd Balls.
0:01:26 > 0:01:33We know you've got sport covered, but do you have any other specialities?
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- No.- Right, that's it.- But we are supremely confident. I can say that on behalf of the other four.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- And we're going to cheat. - DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- What about you, Dennis? What do you like?- Food and drink.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- We should be good at it. We eat a lot of food and drink a lot. - We're going to have a drink.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Let's play the game and see where the money goes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Every day £1,000 cash is up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Odd Balls, the Eggheads won the last game,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09so £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Let's look at our first head-to-head battle. Work out who you want to play. It's Music.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Who is up for this?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Nobody. I'll volunteer.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22What kind of music is it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I'll take the first penalty in the shoot-out.- OK.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28That's bravery. Then you can blame everybody else.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Anyone you like.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32We'll go for Chris.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Chris? OK. Chris it is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38All right. John against Chris. The subject is Music.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44No conferring with your team-mates. Take your positions in the question room.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- What about your musical tastes? - Ask me in five minutes.- All right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:59I asked Mark Lawrenson about this, because this is effectively a penalty shoot-out.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03He said, "Always go first. It puts the pressure on the other guy." So I'll go first.
0:03:05 > 0:03:13Here's the question. Go Now, by the Moody Blues, and Reach Out I'll Be There, by the Four Tops,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17were UK number one hit singles in which decade?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19The '60s, the '70s or the '80s?
0:03:19 > 0:03:26- '60s.- John's gone straight for the right answer. Good start.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Chris, is that still too modern for you, the '60s?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- No, I like the Moody Blues.- OK.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Let's have your first question.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42Which Scottish female singer had a 1980 UK hit single with the song January February?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That was Barbara Dickson.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53The answer is Barbara Dickson. Well done.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56One each. John, your second.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00"Sun is in the sky. Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?"
0:04:00 > 0:04:03is the chorus from which Lily Allen song?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09LDN.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Got it straight away. Two to you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18Chris, which ballet is based on a short story by ETA Hoffmann
0:04:18 > 0:04:19called The Sandman?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's not Swan Lake.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I've an idea that it involves a wind-up doll that comes to life
0:04:31 > 0:04:34when sand is sprinkled on it, and it's Coppelia.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Eggheads nodding like wind-up dolls there.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It is the right answer. Coppelia.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So you've got two, John's got two.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Next question each could decide who wins the round.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50John, who composed the piece of music known as Soul Bossa Nova,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52famously used as the theme
0:04:52 > 0:04:55for the film Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I can't imagine Randy Newman doing it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Which leaves me between two.
0:05:04 > 0:05:11Quincy Jones has a great litany of musical success over the years.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I'm going to go for...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Alan Menken.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- It is Quincy Jones.- What an idiot.
0:05:24 > 0:05:31I think he has a cameo in one of the Austin Powers films.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Chris, you win the round if you get this.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Who composed the millennial work Fall And Resurrection,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41dedicated to the Prince of Wales?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48All three modern British composers.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'll go with Harrison Birtwistle.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK, Harrison Birtwistle.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, it could be John's resurrection. It's incorrect.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Yes! Love it!- It's John Tavener.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Both missing that last metaphorical penalty.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10So it goes to sudden death. John, we remove those choices.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Can you tell me this?
0:06:12 > 0:06:18The singer born Shahnour Aznavourian in Paris in 1924
0:06:18 > 0:06:22became famous under what name?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I think there may well be a clue in the name. Charles Aznavour?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It's not that different, is it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Shahnour Aznavourian became Charles Aznavour.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- It's right answer. Well done, John. - Yes!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Hang in there! - He was born of Armenian parents.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And your question, Chris.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Alison Krauss and which male vocalist
0:06:44 > 0:06:46jointly won five Grammys in 2009,
0:06:46 > 0:06:52including an Album of the Year award for Raising Sand?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Billy Ray Cyrus?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Billy Ray Cyrus? Is it, Eggheads?
0:06:57 > 0:07:04- No. Robert Plant. - It's Mr Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That really was a resurrection.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09John thought he was about to get knocked out.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12You're through, John. You're playing in the final round.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Please both come back and join your teams.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19He held his nerve spectacularly. John's through to the final round.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23The Eggheads will be missing at least one brain - Chris.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28We'll move on to our next subject. The next head-to-head is Science.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Easy!- You can't play it, John. It's Dennis, Mark, Graham or Bob.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- We have a scientific genius in our midst.- Who's that?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- It's definitely not me. - Come on, Graham, this is you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- I'll take one for the team. - OK, take it for the team.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be Chris.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I'll try the new boy - Pat.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54- I'll take one for the team.- You both can't take one for the team.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59But one of you will emerge triumphant from that question room, where you must now go.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Graham, I'm searching for some scientific connections.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05What about that amazing programme you did, High Altitude?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09What speeds did you hit in that speed skiing?
0:08:09 > 0:08:16I could tell you about velocity. 197km an hour, which is pretty fast.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Even for an experienced skier like you, an international-class skier,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23weren't you terrified?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Yeah! Of course I was. You always feel the fear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- The trick is managing it.- Yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Right, Science. Let's play. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I will go first.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42What phrase is commonly used to describe
0:08:42 > 0:08:48the solution of simple organic molecules that first gave rise to life on Earth?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I think I've got some prehistoric yoghurt in the back of my fridge.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02But I can't see it sparking life on Earth. I'll go with primeval soup.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Primeval soup is the right answer. Graham, good start.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Pat, in chemistry, what name is given to the process
0:09:09 > 0:09:14by which one substance collects on the surface of another
0:09:14 > 0:09:17but is not incorporated into the structure of it?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Well... I don't know this for definite.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Of those three options,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32adsorption sounds like a complement to absorption.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36And I'm assuming that absorption means to pull in
0:09:36 > 0:09:42and adsorption may mean to allow to sit on the surface as a deposit.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So I think I'll go with adsorption.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So you're going for the linguistic analysis there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You've got the right answer. The Eggheads nodding as well.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Good start, Graham. Let's build on it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59The number of particles contained in one mole of a substance
0:09:59 > 0:10:02is a constant which is commonly known as what?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Hmm. This one's stumped me.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Just trying to think back to those years and years ago
0:10:14 > 0:10:16when I was actually in school.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'll have to go with Torricelli's constant.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25It's constant but not Torricelli's. It's Avogadro's constant.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29You've got one. Let's see what Pat does with his next two.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34By what more common name is the apis mellifera better know?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44The apis indicates bee, which is common to all three options.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Mellifera, I think, is formed from the Latin words for carrying honey.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53So I think it's the honeybee.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57He's good at this. That is the right answer. The honeybee.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You've got to get this, Graham.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Which part of the human brain is the largest?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm just trying to think about that bit at the front there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm going to go for the cerebellum.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17With very well-developed brains over there,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19which bit of your brain is the biggest?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I'd have gone for cerebellum. - So would I.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- But it's cerebrum. - THEY GROAN
0:11:26 > 0:11:31The answer is cerebrum, not cerebellum, so the round ends.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Pat sits impassive. He knows he's through.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36That's levelled it up. Graham won't play in the final round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Both please come back and join your teams.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44It's one all. Both the Odd Balls and the Eggheads lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Our third category today pops up, and it's Geography.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Who's going to play this? Graham would like to play but he can't.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- I'll go.- There we go - Mark.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00Pick an Egghead. Chris and Pat have played. So Judith, Barry or Daphne?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- Take Judith.- You've been eyeing Judith up for the entire programme.
0:12:05 > 0:12:12- She's my girlfriend.- OK, Mark and Judith into the question room.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Mark, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:12:17 > 0:12:24Which US city has run a famous cable-car service since 1873?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30San Francisco.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's the right answer. Good start, Mark.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Judith, Chile shares a border with Peru, Bolivia and which other country?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's definitely not Venezuela.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Peru... Oh, it's Brazil.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Brazil?- Yes.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55We're going to have to get Barry some painkillers,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57he's hit himself so hard on the head.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Is it Argentina?- It is.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Come on, Mark!- He's one up.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You're in the lead. Let's see if you can go further ahead.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Thanks for the pressure.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Brunswick and Kemp Town are areas of which British seaside resort?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Brighton & Hove.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Do you know that from playing them? - From playing for Brighton & Hove.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26THEY LAUGH
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I forgot about that!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Mind you, it was in the '70s.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34It couldn't have worked better for you.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Brighton & Hove. Brunswick and Kemp Town.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42So he's 2-0 up. Judith needs to score here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44La Gomera is part of which island group?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Absolutely no idea. La Gomera?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56La Gomera. L-A, another word, G-O-M-E-R-A.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I don't know.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04This is awful! I was thinking, "Thank God I'm not doing sport",
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- and look what's happened.- Thinking, "What does that oaf know of geography?"
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- No, I wasn't thinking anything of the kind.- I was.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I don't know. Um... Balearics.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18HE PRETENDS TO CRY
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Oh, Balearics! It's the wrong answer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26It's one of the smaller Canary Islands. La Gomera.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31You've sailed through there, Mark. Didn't even break sweat.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35You're playing in the final round. Would you both rejoin your teams.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41The Odd Balls have the lead. Two Eggheads will be missing from the final round.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44It's 2-1. Our last head-to-head before that final round is Sport.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It has turned up.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Only Dennis or Bob can play.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- We'll say Dennis, shall we? - You want me to do it? All right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- Dennis, your choices are... - Can I have Judith?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- THEY LAUGH - Yeah, because she didn't really play in the last round.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09- Take Barry.- Because he's wearing green, and I like the name Barry,
0:15:09 > 0:15:15- so we'll have a go with Barry. - He might take pity on you with the green, the Irish link there.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Let's have Dennis and Barry into the question room.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25- Do you want to go first or second? - Like Lawro, I'll go first as well.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It worked successfully twice. Will it work again?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Dennis, "onion bag" is a slang term for what item of football equipment?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Onion bag would have to be...
0:15:43 > 0:15:47It wouldn't be a referee's shirt, I wouldn't think.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'm not sure, but I'm going to...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Shin pad.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Goal net?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Yes, because of what it looks like. That's the right answer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00You should see Mark's face!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's not your sport, is it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Anyway, you've got it on the board. Barry, your first question.
0:16:06 > 0:16:13In 1984, the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award was given to which two people?
0:16:19 > 0:16:231984 was the year of the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27so it must have been given to Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30The answer, of course, is Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So you both got one.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Dennis, your second question. Which tennis player
0:16:35 > 0:16:38became the owner of an Olympic medal of each colour
0:16:38 > 0:16:44after he won gold in the Men's Doubles and bronze in the Men's Singles in 2004
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and then silver in the Singles in 2008?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55HE GROANS
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Not one of my strongest sports. That's a toughie for me.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- HE WHISPERS - I'll go for Fernando Gonzalez.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08OK, a complete guess at Fernando Gonzalez. John?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- He's right.- It's the right answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Well done, Dennis.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Barry, which driver won the Formula One World Championship in 1982
0:17:18 > 0:17:21in between two championship wins for Nelson Piquet?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Hmm.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I think Jody Scheckter. I'm pretty sure he won one in the early '80s.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39'82 sounds early '80s, especially if it's between two for Piquet.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I shall go for Scheckter.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's Keke Rosberg.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So, Dennis, you had a bit of a guess at the last one,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52but it gives you a real chance now to join your colleagues in the final round.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56In 2002, the former England Rugby Union coach, Jack Rowell,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00became director of rugby for which union team?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07I don't think it's Bath. It's going to be another guess.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I'm going to go for Harlequins.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12John, what do you think?
0:18:12 > 0:18:19- I think he's wrong. - Yeah. It's Bath, not Harlequins.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Barry still has to get this if he's to save the round.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29Barry, in February 2008, cricketer Shane Warne joined which Indian Premier League team?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I feel I'm about to pot the cue ball here
0:18:39 > 0:18:41because I'm not really sure.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I've heard of all three of those teams
0:18:44 > 0:18:48and, for some reason, Rajasthan Royals rings a bell.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So I'm hoping, I'm praying it's Rajasthan Royals.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Otherwise, I'm off the table.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Thanks for the snooker references. But you're still on the table.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02It's the right answer. Rajasthan Royals. Shane Warne joined them.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03So we go to sudden death,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06as happened in John's round, but he won through eventually.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10So, Dennis, here's your question.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16In which sport did the Hungarian, Agnes Keleti, win ten Olympic medals during her career,
0:19:16 > 0:19:21including four golds at the 1956 Games?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I would think it would be... She sounds a very strong person to me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27THEY CHUCKLE
0:19:27 > 0:19:31So I'm going to go for - a complete guess -
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I would say something like...
0:19:36 > 0:19:40the shot put. THEY GROAN
0:19:40 > 0:19:47Shot put. Strong girl, but not in that way, Dennis.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Supple and small. Gymnastics.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Oh, sorry. Sorry, boys.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57No worries, Dennis. You're still in it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Let's see how Barry does.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05Barry, what's the name of the only horse to have completed the Champion Hurdle-Gold Cup double
0:20:05 > 0:20:11and to have won the full set of English, Irish and French hurdling championships?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm about to expose my ignorance here.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- I'll try Desert Orchid. - Desert Orchid it is not. Bob?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- I think we'll try Dawn Run. - Dawn Run.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29The only horse to have completed those races. Great record.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33So you're still in it, Dennis. Here you go.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37The Formula One team, formerly called Honda,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40was renamed what in 2009?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Was it... um...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I should know this but...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Brain's gone. I'm going to go with Red Bull.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55When you said, "The brain's gone", I thought, "What else do you have mixed together with brains?"
0:20:55 > 0:21:00You get brawn! Brawn is the team. Brawn GP.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Ringing a bell?- Yeah, now it does.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Jenson and all that.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Barry, in which sport is catching the ball and taking a high mark
0:21:10 > 0:21:14commonly known as taking a "specky" or a "screamer"?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think that may be Australian Rules Football.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- It's the right answer! - THEY CHEER
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Aussie Rules.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Which means, Barry, you've won the round.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Two exhausted players, drained by quizzing.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Never seen it before. Both please rejoin your teams.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Those who lost the head-to-heads can't take part in this round.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So Dennis and Graham from the Odd Balls
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52please leave the studio.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57John, Mark and Bob, you're playing to win the Odd Balls £2,000 for your chosen charity.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:22:01 > 0:22:03the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:03 > 0:22:10I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all on General Knowledge. You may confer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Odd Balls, the question is: are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Would you like to go first or second?- First.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Here you go. First question.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, the pavane is an example of what?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Popular in the 16th and 17th centuries,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37the pavane, P-A-V-A-N-E,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39is an example of what?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It's not going to be a poem, I can't think. But a collar?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- One of those ruff things that people used to wear?- No.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Pavane sounds a bit like a dance.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- "Would you join me in the last pavane?"- No thanks.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We'll go for dance.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Did I just hear you inviting him for a dance?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Did my ears deceive me? Going for dance.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Pity old twinkle-toes Dennis isn't here to tell you all about this.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm sure he hasn't danced one of these, though it is a dance.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's the right answer. Good start.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Right. Eggheads, over to you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The new building of the British Library, completed in 1997,
0:23:19 > 0:23:24is immediately adjacent to which London mainline railway station?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27St Pancras.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30The new building of the British Library, completed in 1997,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34is immediately adjacent to which London mainline railway station?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36That is St Pancras.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I've got a very nice photograph of me outside
0:23:39 > 0:23:42by the statue of Isaac Newton.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- I won a trophy.- For what?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It was Whitaker's Almanack,
0:23:48 > 0:23:49and it was just a quiz.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53So, Eggheads, people like you, just go in the British Library
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and hoover up the knowledge?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Well, yes.- Yeah, right.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00St Pancras is the right answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04The new British Library is beside that mainline railway station.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08We move on to the second question for each team.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12This one for you, Odd Balls. Which renowned poet
0:24:12 > 0:24:17lived in a riverside villa at Twickenham where he created a famous grotto and gardens?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Which renowned poet lived in a riverside villa at Twickenham
0:24:26 > 0:24:31where he created a famous grotto and gardens?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Maybe he loved rugby, John.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- There's a pub called Pope's Grotto in Twickenham.- Ah!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Is there? - So I am guessing that that's it.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Is that your answer?- Yes. - Alexander Pope, on Pope's Grotto?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You guys are on fire! Alexander Pope is the right answer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53That scrap of knowledge, John, is how the Eggheads do it. Well done.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Two to you.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Eggheads, Joshua Nkomo was an important figure in the politics of which country,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03spending several years as one of its vice presidents?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Joshua Nkomo was an important figure
0:25:08 > 0:25:10in the politics of which country,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13spending several years as one of its vice presidents?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16That's Zimbabwe.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Zimbabwe?- Yep.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22He fell out with Robert Mugabe - inevitably, one would suspect.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It is the right answer. Joshua Nkomo.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The Odd Balls playing really well.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Will they get one hand on that money with this question?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Who directed the 2000 film What Lies Beneath?
0:25:40 > 0:25:46Who directed the 2000 film - released in the year 2000 -
0:25:46 > 0:25:48What Lies Beneath?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50THEY CONFER
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Why do you say Robert Zemeckis?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56It's just a guesstimate, but...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Robert Zemeckis. - Yeah, we'll go with it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- That's your answer?- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04"Say Robert Zemeckis. Who cares?" It's the right answer!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well done, that man there.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You do have one hand on the money.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Eggheads, you've got to get this.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15De Telegraaf and Algemeen Dagblad
0:26:15 > 0:26:17are national daily newspapers in which country?
0:26:21 > 0:26:27- Could you spell Dagblad, please? - D-A-G-B-L-A-D.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Sounds like the Netherlands to me.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Yeah, it sounds Dutch to me. I was originally thinking Scandinavian.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37We've decided it sounded Dutch,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40so we're going for the Netherlands.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44De Telegraaf and the Dagblad are newspapers in the Netherlands.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46We go to sudden death again.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Do we always get questions this easy?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Why? Do you subscribe to those papers?- Ja.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56For the football. Find out what Feyenoord are doing.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01It's sudden death, so no choices, just to remind you, Odd Balls.
0:27:01 > 0:27:08Which iconic car does Steve McQueen drive in the famous car chase in the 1968 film Bullitt?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Camaro?- Ford Camaro, wasn't it?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I'm passing on that. Go on.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Shall we...? - It's another guesstimate.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- The Camaro?- Ford Camaro?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Ford Camaro?- Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27It's not that. It's close. It's not the Ford Camaro. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Is it a Ford Mustang? - It's a Mustang.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32A Ford Mustang in that famous car chase.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35We had a San Francisco question ages ago.
0:27:35 > 0:27:43Eggheads, what's the common name derived from the French for "green of grease"
0:27:43 > 0:27:46for the green-blue coating of copper carbonate
0:27:46 > 0:27:50that forms naturally on copper, bronze and brass?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Sorry, guys, but verdigris.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Verdigris is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05They gave you a run for their money!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- They did.- They certainly did.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11In this game, you get no prizes for coming second.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17We'll give you prizes for being such a fantastic team and having so much fun with us.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19And to Graham and Dennis back there,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23their wonderful rounds will live in the memories forever more of all of us here,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26perhaps not always for the right reasons.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30OK, guys, thank you very much for playing Eggheads today.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35But the Eggheads still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I'm afraid you haven't won the £2,000, so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Join us next time to see if a team from the Antiques Roadshow can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
