0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Hello there and welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads -
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And challenging our legendary quiz Goliaths are Sporting Allsorts.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We've had sports teams in the past who've tried to tackle
0:00:43 > 0:00:47the Eggheads but sadly they didn't get out of the blocks.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Perhaps they've been missing the proverbial "safe pair of hands".
0:00:52 > 0:00:55So, in the case of this team we found five people whose hands
0:00:55 > 0:00:58have literally defined their careers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01However, if things don't go according to plan,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04at least we can say we gave the Eggheads the "Willies".
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Let's meet them!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm Willie Thorne, a former professional snooker player
0:01:08 > 0:01:10and now spend my time commentating on the sport.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Peter Shilton, I played football for England
0:01:13 > 0:01:17over 20 years, gaining a record 125 caps.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hello, my name is Joe Egan, I was a heavyweight boxer
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and now I'm an actor.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Paul Nixon, ex-Leicester, Kent and England cricketer.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Hi, I'm Geoff Capes, former Olympian and World's Strongest Man.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Welcome to you. Did you like that introduction, Willie?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It was perfect. I liked it very much
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and if we don't beat them, we'll sit on them.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Yeah, you might win that contest.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I've got to talk to you individually about your sports
0:01:41 > 0:01:45and your achievements when we do the questioning,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48but what about quizzing? What about you, Willie?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Are you interested, have you taken part in many?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I'm very interested but I even lost to CJ when he came to the Crucible.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57So that was a very sad day. My quizzing days were over after that.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02I remember that. What was the format of that? Obviously on snooker.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Well, in fairness, CJ answered all his questions on snooker
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and we did other things. He knew more about snooker than we did!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Probably knows more about you than you do!- Probably does, yeah!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Well, let's play the game and see if you can give it to the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next celebrity show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, Sporting Allsorts, this is the first of our celebrity
0:02:29 > 0:02:34specials, £1,000 says you cannot beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38And we'll start the ball rolling straight away with our first
0:02:38 > 0:02:42head-to-head battle and it's on the subject of,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44well, stap me! It's sport.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Who'd like to play? Pick a player to take on the Eggheads.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I think Willie, don't you? - Get me out of the way early.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The captain's going first.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57OK, captain's innings first.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Willie...do you want to
0:02:58 > 0:03:01engage again with CJ or any of the Eggheads you could play.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I wouldn't think of anything better than playing CJ at this moment.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- CJ.- Oh, rematch! That's what we wanted.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- LAUGHTER - Willie and CJ.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Could I ask you to go to the Question Room so that you can't confer with your team?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Willie, as the challenger, you get to choose, do you
0:03:18 > 0:03:20want the first or second set of questions?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I'll go first, please, thank you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Best of luck to you, sir. Your first question on sport is this...
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Linford Christie's best time for the 100 metres was how many seconds?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm not going to go for the lowest one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm either going for 9.87 or 10.17.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- 9.87.- 9.87.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Thumbs up from Geoff, he should know,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- you were probably there!- I was.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's the right answer. Well done, Willie.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Tough one to negotiate for the first question,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03and, CJ, which rugby union team won the 2011 Six Nations Tournament?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Like a good little Egghead I did my list of all the 2011 sporting
0:04:09 > 0:04:10winners - England.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It is the right answer, well done.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17OK, Willie, here's your second question.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Which swimmer won a gold medal in the men's 400m Freestyle
0:04:22 > 0:04:24at both the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I know Ian Thorpe is probably the best of those three at swimming,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36but I'm not too sure if he was that early.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Erm... Thorpe.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm still going to go for Ian Thorpe.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Thank goodness you did, it is right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I was worried about the years.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, was that...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52We'll ask the Eggheads, was the 2000 victory on his home turf -
0:04:52 > 0:04:55was that a young Ian Thorpe coming good?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Showing his potential. Did he win other medals in the 2000 Olympics?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I think he did, he didn't just have a single.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Not the handful that he got later.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, Ian Thorpe identified there by Willie.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10CJ, in total how many goals did Gary Lineker
0:05:10 > 0:05:14score at the FIFA World Cup Finals of 1986 and 1990?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Well, he scored six in '86,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21cos he won the Golden Boot that year.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24In 1990, that was Italy, wasn't it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28That was the one where Paul Gascoigne got sent off.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So they must've progressed quite a way in the tournament.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So I think it's more likely he scored four rather than zero.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'll try ten.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Gascoigne got booked which meant
0:05:41 > 0:05:43he would've been banned for the final.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And Lineker did that to Bobby Robson.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's the right answer, well worked out.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Ten goals.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Number three for you, Willie, going strongly here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It's 2-2.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Serena Williams completed a career grand slam in 2003
0:05:57 > 0:06:01when she first won which of tennis' four grand slam tournaments?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's going to have to be a guess.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Honestly, I think she would've won the US Open before the other two.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I think...because she was obviously world number one for many years.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm going to go for the French.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Oh! Unlucky!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Australian!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- It's Australian.- My luck!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Oh, no!- You did so well there.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30CJ, cricket, which Pakistani cricketer scored a 557 minute
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Test Match century against England in 1977?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I don't know this but one of the names is ringing.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49So let's hope it's this one, cos I've nothing else to go on.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Javed Miandad.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Javed Miandad, great player but not he.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's not, do you know?
0:06:55 > 0:07:00I didn't actually know it but I would've gone for Javed myself.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01But Zaheer probably.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03No, it's not, it's Nazar.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- So, great stuff, Willie, you're still alive.- I'm pleased.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You might not be pleased to hear we're taking away all the choices.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14- It's Sudden Death.- OK.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20You don't get anything to look at, we've just got to hear it from you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Willie, before Lewis Hamilton's victory in 2008, who was the
0:07:23 > 0:07:27last Englishman to win the British Grand Prix - the British Grand Prix?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I should know this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'm going to go for Mansell.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's not. It was Johnny Herbert.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Wow!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Johnny Herbert in 1995.- Gee whiz.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41OK, a chance for you again, CJ.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45In 1954 Roger Bannister's sub four minute mile record was broken
0:07:45 > 0:07:48only six weeks later by which Australian runner?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- John Landy?- It's the right answer!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55CJ, next time you turn up at the Crucible something very
0:07:55 > 0:08:00heavy's going to drop, they'll just be winching the slate in there.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Willie's there at the controls, there's CJ!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06How hard were those question?! Goodness me.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Bad luck. It means Captain Willie will not be in the final round.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17As it stands, the Sporting Allsorts are one brain down for the final,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and our next one is History. Who'd like to play this?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24This is one we didn't talk about, isn't it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25LAUGHTER
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'll be the sacrificial lamb for this.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30The best wicket keeper in the world!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Tethered goat, sacrificial lamb.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Paul, choose an Egghead - it can't be CJ.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Erm, I think I'll go Pat.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's going to be Paul and Pat playing this round.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40The Question Room for you both.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45OK, let's play this History round.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Do you want to go first or second, Paul?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Er, I'll go first, please.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Best of luck, here you go.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Approximately how old was the outlaw Billy the Kid
0:08:57 > 0:08:59at the time of his death?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Well, being an outlaw he needs to be experienced, a ducker and a diver.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Erm, they didn't live very long in those days.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Erm, can't imagine 21.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think I'll go 31.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19OK, 31. There's some discussion among your team-mates.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We all think 21. He was very young.
0:09:21 > 0:09:2321 is the answer we're looking for, Paul.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2721, hence "the Kid". He really was not much more than a kid.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Let's continue with the quiz. Pat's itching to face his first question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Pat, which French historical figure was buried
0:09:35 > 0:09:40in the Rupert Valley in a grave that bore no name, only the words -
0:09:40 > 0:09:42"Ci-git" or "here lies".
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Um...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Bonaparte's remains are now in Les Invalides in Paris,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58but they could've had a burial somewhere else.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It could've been re-interred.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Louis - you would fancy such a heavy-hitting
0:10:04 > 0:10:09king of France would be in some sort of royal tomb or,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11mausoleum.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Whereas Robespierre is a more quirky figure, so I'll go for
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Robespierre but I really don't know.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22OK, Robespierre, ci-git. Buried in the Rupert Valley.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Other Eggheads, do you think...?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25We agree with that one, yes.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Unless it's where Napoleon was originally buried.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Oh, what valley?- The Rupert Valley.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Rupert as in R-U-P-E-R-T?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Yeah, unless it was Napoleon buried in St Helena.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- That's Saint Helena. - It is Napoleon! The Rupert Valley.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44OK, nothing there for Pat.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Let's see if you can forge into the lead with this one, Paul.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51The mounted infantry soldiers known as Dragoons,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54took their name from a 16th French type of which weapon?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Dragoons.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I've got absolutely no idea. Team, sorry about that.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'll go a guess at musket.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Musket. It's the right answer!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Hey!- Good guess.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Anyone give us the origin?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14What's the French musket?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- A dragon.- A dragon. OK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Pat, to catch up, how were the English kings,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Richard I and John related?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32I think they were both the offspring
0:11:32 > 0:11:35of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Which would make them brothers.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Richard I and John.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Richard I spent his time in foreign fields
0:11:42 > 0:11:45and in the Robin Hood legend John prospered in his absence.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think they were brothers.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah. Robin Hood there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Richard and John there, so, it's all square.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57One apiece, third question apiece.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Paul, what name was given to President Eisenhower's 1955
0:12:01 > 0:12:05proposal that the United States and the USSR should be allowed to
0:12:05 > 0:12:08conduct aerial surveillance on each other?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Friendly Skies, Open Skies or Parade Skies?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Bit pompous. Erm...
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Whoo. Let's go...Open Skies.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Open Skies...is the right answer!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well done, Paul, really hitting form now.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK, you're in the lead, if Pat gets this wrong,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38you're also in the final round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Pat, the 142 books which comprised Livy's History Of Rome,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46covered a period stretching from the city's founding until what date?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I think Livy was sort of a contemporary of Augustus.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00I think, I'm not certain.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Let's see, Caesar is assassinated in 44BC.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13Christ was born. Was the census in the reign of Tiberius?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Hm... Is there anything significant about the dates?
0:13:17 > 0:13:2059 BC.
0:13:20 > 0:13:2315 years before Caesar's death.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I'll have to go for 9BC, but I'm not confident.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You've never lost at History, have you?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31I don't think so.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33DERMOT LAUGHS
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Wondering what I'll say. You still haven't, it's the right answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42You did work that out but you were sorely tempted by 59, weren't you?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Sorely tempted. It's all square.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48We go to Sudden Death again. We know that, having seen Willie's attempts.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51And very good attempts they were.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Erm, let's see if you can go one further and knock Pat out.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00Paul, Durovernum Cantiacorum was the Roman name for which English city?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02York comes straight to me.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Erm...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Canterbury, possibly.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Erm...
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'm going to go with York. York came straight into my mind.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15OK, York. It's the other one.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Canterbury - Cantiacorum in Latin.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22OK, well, will that let Pat in?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The Hay-Herran Treaty of 1903
0:14:26 > 0:14:30between the USA and Colombia was a milestone in the history of what
0:14:30 > 0:14:31major civil engineering feat?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36My first thought is that back then
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Colombia owned a good chunk of what is now present-day Panama.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I'm not sure what other major engineering activities
0:14:44 > 0:14:49would've taken place down near Colombia.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think I have to go for the Panama Canal.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Panama Canal - between USA and Colombia - it's the right answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You're in the final round. Bad luck, Paul, but for Billy the Kid,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00you'd've been in there.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Yeah.- And indeed Caesar as well, he was a problem,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Pat finally managing to work out that question.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Anyway that's all water under the bridge, you're not
0:15:10 > 0:15:14in the final round, Paul, would you both come back and join your teams.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17As it stands, the Sporting Allsorts have lost two brains,
0:15:17 > 0:15:22the Eggheads are all still there but we have two more head-to-heads
0:15:22 > 0:15:24to play and the next one is Geography.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Who'd like to play this? We have Peter, Joe or Geoff.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You've travelled the world, eh?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Yeah, I've travelled.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You have travelled all over. Who are you going to take with you,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39which one will it be? Remember that CJ and Pat have played,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42so Kevin, Judith or Barry.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Tough choice, but I think I'll go with Barry.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Just because I like his shirt.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50That's a Notts Forest shirt.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You see a bit of Notts Forest in there with the red.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Peter and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Peter, good to have you here.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Not a bad choice for this Geography round with all the travelling
0:16:02 > 0:16:05you did during the course of that magnificent career,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08all those England Internationals and
0:16:08 > 0:16:11all those European games you played with your clubs.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Let's try and test your knowledge of Geography.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16You get to choose, first or second?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Being number one, I think I'll go first, Dermot.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Why did I ask?!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Let's hope you finish in number one position against Barry.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yeah, I hope so as well.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Here's your fist question.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Faisalabad is a city in which country?
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Turkey sort of comes to me. I think it's either Pakistan or Turkey.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I think I'm going to take a little bit of a guess,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49on...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Pakistan.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Yes, indeed, it's the right answer.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Whoa, we were holding our breath, weren't we?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- He was heading towards Turkey! - There was no-one breathing here.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Faisalabad in Pakistan. Good.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06You're off the mark.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10And, Barry, what's the official language of Liechtenstein?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Liechtenstein is between Austria and Switzerland.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18They speak almost exclusively German there
0:17:18 > 0:17:21so I guess the official language is German.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27It is, yes. The official language is German so, back to you, Peter.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31What is the capital of the US State of Maryland?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I've got to take a wild guess.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42I've got absolutely no idea but I'll go for Persepolis?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The capital is not Persepolis. Barry?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- It's Annapolis.- Big naval base, isn't it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51A very big naval base indeed.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53OK, nothing there for Peter.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Let's see how Barry goes with his second one.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00To what height does Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, rise?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Snowdon I know is higher than Scafell Pike which is
0:18:16 > 0:18:18the highest mountain in England.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Er, which would I think rule out 1,085 metres.
0:18:23 > 0:18:261,685...?
0:18:26 > 0:18:32That would put it higher than Ben Nevis so I shall go for 1,355.
0:18:32 > 0:18:371,385! Going down the middle anyway.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Um, it's wrong. It's not.- Oh!
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- CJ?- I think it's 1,085.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It is, it's 1,085.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Good, good, good, for you, Peter.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50All square and your third question.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Cabinda is a northern exclave of which African country?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Really...for some reason I don't think it's Cameroon.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I don't know why, just the feeling I get.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08The one that springs to me, a pure gut feeling -
0:19:08 > 0:19:16hopefully I'm right and I guessed right for a change - is Angola.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20It's the right answer, you guessed right.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK. Angola.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Well, Barry.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30If Annapolis had gone in for Peter, you'd be out already,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32this to save yourself.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35In which sea are the islands of Salina and Lipari located?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I believe these are just off the toe of Italy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50So, if they're at the toe, they would be in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Tyrrhenian.- Yeah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You've got the right answer. Well done.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58You worked it out there.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So, it's Sudden Death again, Peter.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04You know all about that with penalties.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Like a penalty shoot out, this is! - Absolutely.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Except it might just be one shot here.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13If you get this and Barry doesn't, you're through.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16A controversial bridge linking which Hebridean island to
0:20:16 > 0:20:19the Scottish mainland was opened in 1995.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I've got to say nothing springs to mind.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I think I'm struggling on this one, Dermot.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Er... Hebridean bridge?
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Not the Orkney Islands? No, is that Hebridean?- Barry, do you know?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Being born in Scotland and lived all my life in Yorkshire,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I can understand that locals wouldn't want to pay the toll
0:20:41 > 0:20:43over the bridge to Skye.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45That's right, Skye and it was a toll bridge.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- That's why it was controversial. Free now, though?- Yes, it is.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52They've changed all that. OK, well, nothing there for Peter.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Let's see how Barry does.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Barry, Thunder Bay - created in 1970 by the Union of Port Arthur
0:20:59 > 0:21:03and its twin city Fort William is located on which of the Great Lakes?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I don't think it is the smaller ones.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I don't think it is Ontario,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09which leaves us with Michigan, Hudson, or Superior.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, Michigan is totally in the US
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and those two cities sound Canadian.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18So on that basis alone, I will go for Superior.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Mmm, OK.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Superior because they sound Canadian. You have got it, Barry!
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Well worked out.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The Egghead there and his finest work.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It means you will be in the final round, Barry. Just squeaked through.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Bad luck, Peter. Got a hand on the ball but it crept over the line!
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Again!- Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Well, Sporting Allsorts, 3-0 down, but you won't take it lying down.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Last chance to knock out an Egghead and this category,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50our last head-to-head, is on Food & Drink.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Joe or Geoff, one of you to play. Food & Drink.- Get ready, Kevin.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Joe does not drink. - He wants to play tactically here.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00I think we have to take a chance.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- I'll have a go.- Trust me, Kevin is nearly as bad as you think you are!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Very few teams, I don't think any other team have done that,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13where you pick the opponent before you decide who is going to play!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16OK. Joe and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- All right. You get to choose, first or second, Joe?- I will go first.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK, Joe. First question on Food & Drink.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30A shallot resembles which vegetable:
0:22:33 > 0:22:36This is only going to be a guess.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- I'll go for the middle one, I will go for onion.- It is an onion.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45It is the right answer, yes. A little onion, really. Well done.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46So you are off the mark.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Kevin, Frascati is a wine from which country?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54That is an Italian wine.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- My goodness.- What?- It's right!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- I'm sorry if I shocked you. - Yes, you have.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01OK, back to you, Joe.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Yorkshire squares are traditionally used in the north of England
0:23:05 > 0:23:06in the production of which beverage?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's a guess again. Um...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- I'll go beer.- Beer?- Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Is the right answer!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18How did you work that out, Joe? Do you want to share that?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Was it a pure guess? - When you said "production".
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- There's not really much to produce in water, it produces itself.- Yeah.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Just a guess.- That's it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Brilliant working out by Joe.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Taking the lead. And Kevin,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Lucques and Manzanilla are popular types of what?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Lucques, I've never heard of Lucques...
0:23:40 > 0:23:45and Manzanilla I've only heard of in relation to Sherry.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51Popular... I don't recognise those as being popular types of cheese.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52So I'm going to go for olive.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55OK, they are. They are olives. Well done, Kevin.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Working it out there again
0:23:57 > 0:23:59with one of the words in the question, like Joe.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Taught him a thing or two there, Joe.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Ahem!
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Now, Joe. Your third question. It is all square.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The avocado is native to which region of the world?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I think it is a pear, an avocado is a pear. Is it?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Um... It's just a guess again.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Australasia.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- OK. Kevin?- They come from the Americas originally.- The Americas
0:24:26 > 0:24:29is the answer we were looking for.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33But it's not over, because Kevin has to face his third question.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39Kevin, which herb is an essential ingredient of maitre d'hotel butter?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Right, there is a maitre d'hotel sauce...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48neither mint nor rosemary rings any bells with me
0:24:48 > 0:24:51in relation to maitre d'hotel at all.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I will have to go for parsley.- OK.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Maitre d'hotel sauce you think has parsley butter.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It's the right answer, Kevin. Yes, it is parsley.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It means you're through to the final round.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04No place for you, Joe, which is a terrible pity
0:25:04 > 0:25:09cos the Eggheads were very impressed by that Yorkshire squares answer
0:25:09 > 0:25:11but you are not playing in that final.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17This is what we've been playing towards.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:25:24 > 0:25:26won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30So, Willie, Peter, Joe and Paul from the Sporting Allsorts,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32would you leave the studio, please.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36So, Geoff. You're playing to win the Sporting Allsorts £1,000.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you are playing for something
0:25:40 > 0:25:43which money can't buy, it is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49This time, the questions are all General Knowledge, as you know,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Geoff, and you are allowed to confer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Geoff, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Geoff, would you like to go first or second?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I think the whole team has gone first every time. I'll have a crack at it
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and see if I can get the first points on the board.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08OK. Here is your first question.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10General Knowledge, anything can come up.
0:26:10 > 0:26:1521 was a UK number one album in 2011 for which singer?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Now, this is something... I will get killed back home.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I was wondering about that.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Um... I think I'm going to go for Rihanna.- OK.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Rihanna, 21. A UK number one album in 2011 for, CJ...?
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Adele, I'm afraid.- Adele, Adele. OK, nothing there for Geoff.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's see how the Eggheads go
0:26:39 > 0:26:40in their first question.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42In a standard game of Scrabble,
0:26:42 > 0:26:47how many points are the letters F and Y worth?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Four?- Four?- Yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- We think it is four. - Four is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56So, Geoff, let's get you on the board here.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58What is the meaning of the word avarice?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Again, this is going to be a guess.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08It's...a word I'm not au fait with.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Pride.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Avarice means...greed.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Not pride.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21So a chance for the Eggheads to wrap it up.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Eggheads, in 1980, the Californian businessman Dennis Hope
0:27:26 > 0:27:29laid claim to, and began to sell, title deeds to what?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36This is he one who tried to sell the Moon, isn't it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37- I'd fancy the Moon.- OK, Moon?- Yes.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- We think it's the Moon. - The Moon.- Yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Dennis Hope laid claim to and began to sell title deeds to...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The Moon is the right answer, Eggheads! You have won!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Well, Geoff.- I did actually know that!- You did know that one?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Oh, dear! Well, it's the way the questions fall, as we always say.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04We had a question there about Hope, all hope began to go
0:28:04 > 0:28:08when member after member of your team lost those head-to-heads,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- so many of them in Sudden Death, as well.- Absolutely.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- They all did very well.- It's just...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- It's a shame I have let them down!- You haven't!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19It's been great. The point is the taking part and having so much fun.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- We have had a ball today, haven't we, Eggheads?- Absolutely, yes.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Thank you once again, Sporting Allsorts.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Until then, goodbye.
