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 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, and welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the show where five quiz challengers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38You might recognise them. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today
0:00:42 > 0:00:44are Ladies Blah Blah.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46When a certain Egghead
0:00:46 > 0:00:49heard they'd be doing a quiz with a Currie today,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52they thought we'd arranged their perfect night out.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58Sadly for Judith, she'll have to forego her nightly chicken vindaloo for the time being
0:00:58 > 0:01:02and, along with the other Eggheads, get her teeth into a more challenging dish -
0:01:02 > 0:01:06the prospect of quizzing against a team of highly regarded broadcasters
0:01:06 > 0:01:11captained by someone who, it's fair to say, has somewhat of a love-hate relationship with eggs.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Say no more. Let's meet them.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Hello. I'm Edwina Currie, writer, broadcaster and former MP.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hi. I'm Suzi Perry, TV broadcaster and journalist.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Hello. I'm Lesley Joseph, actress and broadcaster.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Hello. I'm Amanda Hamilton, nutritionist and broadcaster.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Hello. I'm Christine Hamilton. I'm a British battle-axe.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Do you know what you're letting yourself in for, Edwina? You've watched the show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41You start off asking me a question I don't know the answer to.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Do you think you can match the Eggheads? - No. That is the answer, I think.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50You can guess a bit. You get three choices in the first three questions. Then it's down to you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Shall we play the game and find out if you can win the money? - Let's get it over with.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Ladies Blah Blah, the Eggheads have won the last eight games.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10That means £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Let's do the first head-to-head. A chance to knock an Egghead out.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It's going to be on the subject of... ho-ho...politics.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19THEY EXCLAIM
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Well, two of you here, I think, are potentially going to play this.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Christine or Edwina?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Edwina?- I will. I'll have a go.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31OK. Who would you like to play, Edwina? Any one of those five.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I think Judith, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Let's play the round.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39To make sure there's no conferring, take your positions in our question room.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Edwina, you choose because you're the challenger. Will you go first or second?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'll go first, please.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Best of luck, Edwina. The first question is this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Which party did John Gummer serve as an MP until 2010?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, I've known him since we were all students together,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and I hope he hasn't changed.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08He's a Conservative.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Yes. Couldn't have been any easier for you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Is the right answer. Nice easy start there for Edwina.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Let's see what Judith gets.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22Which political figure appeared in a cameo role in the third series of the TV comedy Gavin And Stacey?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, Boris Johnson was in EastEnders.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I don't think he'd have done Gavin And Stacey as well.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh, I know! It might be John Prescott
0:03:33 > 0:03:37because the egg in his face was in Wales, wasn't it?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I don't really know but... John Prescott.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43John Prescott is the right answer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Yes. Well done.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48OK, it's all square. Edwina's second question.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51What are the two official languages of the organisation NATO?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, it was set up immediately after the War
0:03:59 > 0:04:02as a sort of great anti-Russian alliance
0:04:02 > 0:04:06of America and much of Europe.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So English is definitely one of the languages,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and I think the other was French.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Yes, indeed. English and French.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Two out of two.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Judith. The phrase "fifth column" has its origins in which conflict?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I wouldn't have thought it was the Korean War.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Erm... Oh, goodness. I don't really know.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I think it might be the Spanish Civil War.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- The Spanish Civil War.- Yes. - For fifth column.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's the right answer. Well done, Judith. It's two all.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42An important question for you both. This could decide the round.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Edwina, which American politician
0:04:45 > 0:04:48was forced to quit the 1988 presidential election campaign
0:04:48 > 0:04:53when it was discovered that he had plagiarised passages from a speech by Neil Kinnock?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh, my goodness! Now...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Gary Hart had to quit because there was a sex scandal.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And Michael Dukakis had to quit
0:05:04 > 0:05:08because he cried when his wife was criticised.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So I think it has to be Joe Biden.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Joe Biden?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Is the right answer. Yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Judith, which foreign secretary who was later to become prime minister
0:05:19 > 0:05:26was sacked in December 1851 for sending congratulations to Louis Napoleon on his recent coup d'etat?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33My instinct is Palmerston.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Is the right answer. Palmerston. - It was the right sort of date.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42It's three all. That means, Edwina, we take it to a different phase.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46We move to sudden death and remove the choices you both had and make it a lot harder.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50We'll sort out a winner, hopefully. You're both going really well.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51This is your question.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55In the 17th century, Parliament presented a list of complaints,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58known as the Grand Remonstrance,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00to which king?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, there were two unpopular kings at the time.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06One was Charles I and the other was James II.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I think I'll plump for James II.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's not, Edwina. It's...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Charles I?- Charles I.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- EDWINA: It was the other one. - The other one, yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Charles I had the Grand Remonstrance,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23and the rest is, as they say, history.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25OK, well, a chance for Judith.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31By which acronym do the American Secret Service refer to the President of the United States?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think that's POTUS. P-O-T-U-S.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36President Of The United States of America.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40POTUS is the right answer. P-O-T-U-S.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43President Of The United States.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Bad luck, Edwina.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You won't be helping the Ladies Blah Blah play for that £9,000.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Well, Judith, it was a very good round but you squeezed through.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It means at least one member of Ladies Blah Blah will be missing from the final round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07The Eggheads haven't lost any brains. Our next subject, coming up right now, is sport.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I know you're all going to look at me.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Well, it's no good looking at me. - We have expectations, Suzi.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16We have decided in advance. Come on, Suzi.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17It has to be you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20We're rooting for you. Go for it, girl.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- OK. - LAUGHTER
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- OK, it's me. - Now I'm sure your team-mates will let you choose who you play.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- It can't be Judith. She's played. So any of the other four. - Do you want to go for CJ?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32EDWINA: Go on, go for CJ.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- Yeah, we'll go with CJ.- OK. Well, you know where to go with CJ.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I'm not sure I do, actually! - There's a lot of other places I'd like to send CJ,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46but it's only the question room for you both, please. Suzi and CJ playing sport.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49So, Suzi, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56And we are off. First question.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00As well as being a skiing resort, l'Alpe d'Huez is best known
0:08:00 > 0:08:04as often being part of the course of which sporting event?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Goodness me! I don't think it's the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'm wishing I'd taken a bit more notice of the Tour de France.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20That's the one I'm favouring at the moment.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yes, I'll go Tour de France.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It's the right answer. Yes, one of the key mountain stages
0:08:28 > 0:08:30of many Tours de France.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So, one on the board successfully there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38CJ, which English golfer finished second at the 2010 US Masters?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It would have been an especially good achievement
0:08:44 > 0:08:46if it had been Tony Jacklin.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm not sure if Ian Poulter has ever finished runner-up in a major,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51but Lee Westwood, I think it may have been
0:08:51 > 0:08:54his third, fourth or even fifth time as a runner-up.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57He was on nine under par but still seven shots behind the winner.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- So Lee Westwood.- You say it would have been an achievement for Tony Jacklin.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03He can't be much older than Tom Watson,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- who nearly won the Open two years back.- Perfectly true.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10But - no respect to Mr Jacklin - Tom was a better golfer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ooh! That's a debate to be had later.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Lee Westwood, though, is the right answer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Second in the 2010 US Masters. So one each.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23Suzi, which footballer won the Premier League's Golden Boot award in May 2010?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Erm... I don't think it was Didier Drogba,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32but I don't know why I don't think it was.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Torres or Rooney.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- SHE SIGHS - I'm going to guess Torres.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Fernando Torres. Premier League's Golden Boot. What do we think?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I won't ask you, CJ. Other Eggheads?- Wayne.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Wayne Rooney, you think? - DAPHNE:- It's Drogba.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51No, it's neither of those. it's Didier Drogba.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Oh, it is? - Yeah. Daphne down the end there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Championship-winning season for Chelsea,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and Didier Drogba getting hatfuls of goals for them.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01So, a chance for CJ to take the lead.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06In the Olympic event of beach volleyball, how many sets does a team need to win?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I have absolutely no idea.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Erm...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- I'll try two.- Two?- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18CJ's right. Two is correct.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Two. You've got it. So you have the lead.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Big guess there by CJ.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Suzi, head up now. Come on. - SHE LAUGHS
0:10:27 > 0:10:29If you get this, you're still in it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33In 1964, Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37defeated which boxer to win his first heavyweight world title?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I feel torn between George Foreman and Joe Frazier,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47but I don't really know why.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52So I'm not adding any insight into my thoughts, really.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54And it's probably Sonny Liston,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56if my last question was anything to go by.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58George Foreman, Dermot.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59George Foreman?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- It's Sonny Liston.- Sorry.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Sonny Liston won boxing Muhammad Ali or Cassius Clay
0:11:04 > 0:11:06at the beginning of his career,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and the other there at the end of his.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Great fights between Muhammad Ali and Foreman and Frazier,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13but in the '70s.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15In '64 it was Sonny Liston.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Suzi, I hate to say this but you're not playing in the final round.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And I hate to say this even more - CJ, you are.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Nil desperandum, Ladies Blah Blah. Only halfway through these.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32You've lost two rounds. The Eggheads are all still there.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Our next subject today is arts and books.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Who'd like to play this?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- THEY CONFER - You've been working down the team. So, Lesley, Amanda or Christine?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Christine is going to play on that one.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- Not because she has any confidence at all in her ability on either art or books.- It's 'cause we don't!
0:11:49 > 0:11:56Choose an Egghead. I'll remind you who you can play. It can either be Daphne, Kevin or Pat.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Pat.- Pat.- OK, it's decreed I'm taking on Pat. Oh, gosh.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Mastermind Champion of Champions Pat...- Oh, for goodness' sake!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- SHE LAUGHS - ..against Christine. Arts and books.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Into the question room, please. - Oh...!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13So, Christine, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Well, all my predecessors have gone first and didn't quite make it, so I'm going to go second.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Pat, "It's a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done;
0:12:25 > 0:12:28"it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"
0:12:28 > 0:12:31are the last words of which Charles Dickens novel?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think they're spoken by the man who swapped places
0:12:38 > 0:12:40with a chap who was headed for the guillotine.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So it was a noble act indeed. A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45A Tale Of Two Cities it is, yes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Correct. I'm sure Christine would have got that.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yes, we can tell there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54OK, well, you're getting the second set of questions.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56This is the first one of those.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59What is the title of the play by Michael Frayn
0:12:59 > 0:13:03which features a play within a play, a farce entitled Nothing On?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Is the play itself...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12went to the first night of this.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13It's Noises Off.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- HE CHUCKLES - Yes, indeed. Noises Off.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Hugely successful, that. All square. Pat.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Who wrote the novel My Sister's Keeper,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25which was turned into a 2009 film starring Cameron Diaz?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I don't think it's Zadie Smith.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I have a faint idea it might be Jodi Picoult.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK. Other Eggheads? Daphne, a thumbs-up from you
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and all the other Eggheads.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Jodi Picoult is correct.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Second question for Christine.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Jack Merridew, leader of the choir, is a character in which novel of the 1950s?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, I'm not 100 per cent certain.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I don't think it's Lord Of The Flies.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I think it's To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Erm... Oh. Of course, it could be Lord Of The Flies.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Were they all in a choir before they land...? Now I am in a muddle.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm going for Lord Of The Flies. It's probably wrong.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I really don't know. I really can't remember.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Pat, is it Lord Of The Flies? - I think so. Jack, Ralph and Piggy.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, it's Lord Of The Flies.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25SHE SIGHS WITH RELIEF
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So, it's all square.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Pat, which Italian artist who died in the 1330s was also an entrepreneur
0:14:34 > 0:14:38who made a fortune after cornering the market in pig bristles
0:14:38 > 0:14:41and turning them into highly effective paint brushes?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Well, I don't think Raphael died in the '30s.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51So I'm going to have to pick between Giotto and Donatello.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- I'll go for Giotto.- OK.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Everyone's agreeing on the Eggheads team. It's right. Well done.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Christine, the pressure is back on, I'm afraid, and how.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Here you go. The artist and architect Cesar Manrique,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09who died in 1992,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13was a native and determined supporter of which island?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Oh, lawks alive, I have no idea.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I'm going to kick myself because I'm going to get it wrong
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and then when it's explained to me that the clue was in the question.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Lanzarote.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Lanzarote.- Yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- It's the right answer. - HER TEAM CHEERS
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I know it's been agonising, but you got three out of three.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's sudden death now.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Pat, A Child's Christmas In Wales is a work by which 20th century writer?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47My first thought is Dylan Thomas.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52But I'll just check and see whether I've got any better ideas.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58No, I think Dylan Thomas. There's a chance that's correct.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Dylan Thomas is the right answer. A Child's Christmas In Wales.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Just checked.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05All right, Christine.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Can I have half a point? Because I knew that.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- If only.- I adore Dylan Thomas.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Well, I hope you adore this writer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Isaac Bickerstaff was a pseudonym
0:16:17 > 0:16:22used by which writer born in 1667?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'm sorry, girls. I simply...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I just... I've never, ever heard of him in my life.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I mean, you know, I don't know.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35A pseudonym used by which writer born in 1667?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Do you want to have a guess, Christine?- Shakespeare? No.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It'll do. Honestly, get me out of here. I've no idea.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I can't even remember when Shakespeare was born.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It's not. And that's the answer I've had to take. It is... Eggheads?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Jonathan Swift.- Jonathan Swift, say the Eggheads. Christine, bad luck.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'm sorry about the agony there. It's meant to be fun.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Why didn't you put the questions the other way round? I love Dylan Thomas.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01It is the way they fall.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Christine, I'm afraid you won't be in the final round. Pat, you are.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Ladies Blah Blah, we don't want to turn this into LADY Blah Blah in the final round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18We've got to get one of you through in the next head-to-head. Three brains gone at this point.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23All the Eggheads still intact. A last opportunity to kick one of them out.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And it comes on the category of food and drink.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh!- Lesley or Amanda? - Amanda.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's got to be whoever has general knowledge.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- This is getting worse and worse. - Yes.- You haven't done anything yet. - I know!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- It's you, love.- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- I'll go with Kevin.- It's Kevin or Daphne, the world quiz champions. - Kevin. Bring it on!- Yah!
0:17:44 > 0:17:45That's what we like.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Amanda, could I ask you and Kevin to go to the question room?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Would you like to go first or second, Amanda? - I'm reading far too much into this.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I'm going, "What's my instinctive answer?" and it doesn't really matter.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'll go first.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Here you go. What name is given to the characteristic scent of a wine?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That would be bouquet.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yes, it would be. Straight in. One to you.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And Kevin.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21In Britain, cask-conditioned beer that's served traditionally
0:18:21 > 0:18:23without additional gas pressure is known by what name?
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Filtered or lite would involve a chemical process, so real ale.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Real ale is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Amanda, which Italian appetiser,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41which usually consists of vegetables and a dip,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45can be translated into English as "hot bath"?
0:18:50 > 0:18:56Hmm. I speak Spanish, so I'm trying to vaguely read them and think...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59which would make me think bagna cauda,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03because "bano caliente" would be it in Spanish.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06It must be bagna cauda...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09she says, not confidently, but I'll go for that.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I like the way you drop your voice when you say it, just in case.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's the right answer.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18You were on it from the start with those language skills,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20as well as the foodie ones, and you have two.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Kevin, Kelvedon Wonder is a variety of which garden vegetable?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I think it's one I have heard of. I think it's a pea.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33A Kelvedon Wonder is a pea, yeah.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Two each. OK. Getting critical now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41If you get this, Amanda, it might get you into the final round.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Which type of alcoholic drink is traditionally drunk from a copita?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53OK. Well, when it ends in "-ita", it means small.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Erm... that's in Spanish, anyway.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59So...
0:19:59 > 0:20:04I could be talking completely out of turn here,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08but I'm going to go for tequila.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Tequila, for the copita.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It is...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- sherry.- Oh, no!
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Sorry, girls! Sorry!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well, let's see what Kevin does.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26What is the main ingredient of the Spanish stew called zarzuela?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Don't know. I don't get anything out of that at all.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Zarzuela is actually a form of Spanish theatre,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40a kind of musical comedy, light opera,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and there's a zarzuela theatre in Madrid.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Because the Madrid area is in the centre,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52and it's an area, I think, known for rabbits and that sort of thing,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm going to go for rabbit.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- OK, rabbit stew.- I'm probably completely wrong.- Zarzuela.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And what do you think, Eggheads?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- I'll be different and go for seafood.- It is seafood.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Is it? So it's nothing to do with Madrid.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Did you know that, Amanda? - I didn't. I didn't.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09You're very honest. Say yes!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I should have. But no, I didn't. - Put the frighteners on him.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15OK. Both failing with your third questions
0:21:15 > 0:21:19means we go into sudden death, Amanda.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And you saw what that meant for Christine.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Here you go.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27The name of which Greek cheese means "slice"?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31The name of which Greek cheese means "slice"?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Right. Well, let me think.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There's feta and there's halloumi, isn't there?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Slice.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm going to go for the one
0:21:43 > 0:21:48that I cut up frequently into slices and cook,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50halloumi.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- It's feta.- Ah, no! LADIES BLAH BLAH GROAN
0:21:53 > 0:21:55No!
0:21:55 > 0:21:56That's almost twice.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01You had choices the last time. You were going between sherry and tequila.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- We need some luck!- You really are not getting it, actually. Oh, dear.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's feta, from the way the cheese
0:22:08 > 0:22:12is cut into blocks before being placed into barrels, where it ages in brine.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It means "slice" in Greek.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Well, see what Kevin does with his question. It's not over.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22"Caquelon" is the name of the equipment traditionally used
0:22:22 > 0:22:25to prepare and serve which communal dish?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Hmm. It sounds French, obviously, the caquelon.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing here. Erm...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37All right, OK.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Come up with a French-language communal dish where people dip in.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Let's try fondue.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- I take it you don't have a fondue set.- No, I don't.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It is the right answer. Fondue is correct.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, well.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Amanda, I must say you have probably been,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58in the many hundreds of shows of Eggheads,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00one of our unluckiest players.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- It means you won't be in the final round.- Sorry!
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Amanda and Kevin, would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It's time for the final round. As always, it's general knowledge.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:16 > 0:23:17can't take part in this round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23Edwina, Suzi, Amanda and Christine, from Ladies Blah Blah, leave the studio, please.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Lesley, you're playing to win the Ladies Blah Blah £9,000 for your chosen charity.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Pat, Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time they're all general knowledge.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43You are allowed to confer.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- You can have an inner dialogue, Lesley.- Thank you very much for that advice.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Lesley, the question is: is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You get to choose, as all the challengers do. First or second?
0:23:55 > 0:24:00I couldn't take the stress of going second when they get it right, so I'll go first.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Yes! Bring it on!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Let's throw the first question at you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Love Never Dies is a sequel to which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17OK. Starlight Express was a one-off.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Didn't have a sequel. That was all on roller skates.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Cats was the TS Eliot musical at the New Theatre.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It is one million per cent The Phantom Of The Opera.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32One million per cent Phantom Of The Opera.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Or, as you hear Americans in London say, "Gonna see Phannom."
0:24:35 > 0:24:37There's no T in Phannom, is there?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- It's the right answer. Phantom Of The Opera.- At least I got one.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And I'm sure you'll get more.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Eggheads, first question to you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49What colour is the middle stripe of the national flag of Germany?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55What colour is the middle stripe of the national flag of Germany?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57THEY CONFER
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Well, seeing as there's no green or white on the German flag,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- it's got to be red.- Ah!
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK. I see you know your flags so well.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well, red is correct.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14A flag question for the Eggheads.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16That's the kind of thing they know.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Your second question, Lesley. You started really well.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23How's your French? What is the French term
0:25:23 > 0:25:26used to denote an all-weather tennis court?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Oh, they're all so similar.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Sauve-qui-peut...
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Something who can?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Comme-il-f...
0:25:39 > 0:25:44I don't know. I'm going to go with en-tout-cas, but it might be wrong.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- In all cases. In all weathers. It's the right answer.- Oh!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Thank you!- Well done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53OK. En-tout-cas, the correct answer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Two out of two, Lesley. Not too bad.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Eggheads, in Greek mythology, who was the husband of Andromeda?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04THEY CONFER
0:26:04 > 0:26:06That would be Perseus.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10He saved her from the sea monster.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12All right. Perseus.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's the right answer. Well done.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I bet you didn't fancy that question.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I wouldn't have known either of those second ones. I'd now be crying.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It's weird the way Eggheads... Flags and Greek mythology, they like all that stuff.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28But you're going really well on the first set of questions.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Get this and you might win the money for the charity.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37The Sigsbee Deep contains the deepest point of which body of water?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And it's known as "the Sigsbee Deep".
0:26:44 > 0:26:45The Sigsbee Deep.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I can't look at the Eggheads 'cause I know they'll all know this.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I have absolutely no idea, so let me just think.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Gulf of Mexico. It could be the English Channel.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'm going to say Indian Ocean. I have absolutely no idea.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00The Sigsbee Deep contains
0:27:00 > 0:27:03the deepest point of which body of water? Eggheads?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I don't think it's the Indian. - I'd go for the Gulf of Mexico.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- English Channel. - I'd go for the English Channel.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Two for English Channel, one for Gulf of Mexico. They don't know.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- But it's the Channel. - It's the Gulf of Mexico.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18SHE GROANS
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Not the Indian Ocean. But, Lesley, it's not over.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25The Eggheads have to get theirs correct to end the game and win it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27The Drake equation,
0:27:27 > 0:27:32formulated by the American astronomer Frank Drake in 1961,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36is a speculative method of estimating the number of what in our galaxy?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Alien civilisations.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46That would be alien civilisations.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Alien civilisations.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Bad luck, Lesley. - That was such a guess. I thought it wasn't the English Channel.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It could have been either of those, but there you are.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- You cruised through those first two.- Well, just about. - You did really well. Not just you.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11It's awful pressure playing five on one, but those head-to-heads are awful as well.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15We saw the agonies that your team-mates went through. So bad luck.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19But thank you very much for sparing time in what I know are your incredibly busy schedules
0:28:19 > 0:28:22to play the Eggheads and have a bit of fun for charity.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It's been a pleasure.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and won.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I'm afraid you won't be going home with £9,000 for your chosen charity.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team of celebrity challengers
0:28:41 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44£10,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Until then, goodbye.
