0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And tackling our awesome quiz geniuses today are Science Friction.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43With the combined brain power of this quintet of science experts,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46we finally have a team that can answer the ultimate question
0:00:46 > 0:00:49about life, the universe and everything.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55What on earth does CJ put on his hair each day? Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Johnny Ball, and I've been dabbling in all branches
0:00:58 > 0:01:02of maths and science for many years, and I'm still dabbling.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Dr Adam Hart-Davis, I used to present television programmes,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08now I write books and I make spoons.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Kate Bellingham and I'm an electronic engineer
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and I used to be a presenter on Tomorrow's World.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Hello, I'm Dr Marty Jopson, I used to be a plant cell biologist,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21now I make strange Heath Robinson props
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and present science for The One Show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Hello, I'm Dr Ian Johnson, engineer, TV presenter,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and academic consultant for Bang Goes The Theory.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Welcome, Science Friction. We're excited to have you here
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and expect great things against the Eggheads.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Tell me, Johnny, you've been around your friends, your colleagues
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and assembled the finest brains that you can find.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I have, I've been around. You're right. I have been around.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And this is a great team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51They're picked because all their understanding and belief
0:01:51 > 0:01:53in science and technology is so diverse.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57But none of us knows what the others are talking about.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Well, we'll talk as we quiz, but the main business is quizzing,
0:02:00 > 0:02:05and let me tell you what's happened before Science Friction arrived.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11Each day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19The Eggheads have won the last nine games, you can do the maths,
0:02:19 > 0:02:24that means £10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And our first subject today is History.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I know it's not just science you people straddle. History as well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Who wants to play? - I've an idea that Adam might be best
0:02:35 > 0:02:38having done his Horrible Histories, not Horrible Histories...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Johnny, here's the problem,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the BBC think I am a historian but my only qualification
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- is that I failed O-Level. - At history?- At history.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- But you've made up for it since. - I've made up lots of history since,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54whether I know anything is another question, three questions.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56All right, you're on.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Adam, as you're playing first, you get to choose any Eggheads you like.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Choose the youngest. They've been around for the least history.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I love it, choose the youngest, they've lived the least history.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09That's Daphne then.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- I think that's CJ. - You're going to go for CJ.- CJ.- OK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Well, let's see how you go. Adam and CJ, into the question room, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Adam, is that true that you failed history at O-level?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Yes, I had a postcard saying you pass everything except history.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And they never said anything about it again, ever.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Because you did What The Romans Did For Us and others.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- How did you get into that? - That's right.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42The first series I presented was called Local Heroes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And I rode around the country on a pink and yellow bicycle
0:03:45 > 0:03:48talking about dead scientists. We chose dead scientists
0:03:48 > 0:03:50cos old science is easier to explain than new science.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54And if we got it wrong, they wouldn't sue us if they were dead.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57After doing 100 of them, the BBC began to think I knew about history,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02quite untrue, but since then I've presented 100 history programmes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So, I have learnt a bit, you know. Henry VIII had six wives,
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- or was it Henry VI had who had eight? That sort of thing I've learnt.- OK.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I hope you know a little bit more than that,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15cos the questions might be a tad harder than that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'll go first, please.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23OK, best of luck, Adam, first question to you,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and, bearing in mind what we've just discussed,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30in ancient Rome, what was the name of the festivals to the god of wine,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33a word which now refers to any drunken revelry?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I think we should have got Johnny to answer this question.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- HE LAUGHS - What are you suggesting?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Just that he is very knowledgeable about ancient Rome.- Oh, I see.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49But I would choose Bacchanalia.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well, very diplomatically put there.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Bacchanalia is the right answer. Well identified.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59CJ, who commanded the axis army at the first battle of El Alamein?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Well, Alamein was a desert battle and the Desert Fox there is Rommel.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Rommel it is and you each have a point. Straight back then to Adam.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16During the Napoleonic Wars, the Portuguese court
0:05:16 > 0:05:18transferred to which country?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Oh, well, I haven't a clue, as I don't know any history.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Erm... I'm going to go for Brazil, because they speak Portuguese there.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32And right to do so. Well worked out, Adam, it's the right answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37You have two. What name was given to the gathering of representatives
0:05:37 > 0:05:41who declared independence for the American colonies?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well, there were more than one of these.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52You can argue that the head of these was really the first US President.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- But these were the Continental Congresses.- OK.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Continental Congress is correct, CJ.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Two all. And this could be the point at which the game is won or lost.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Adam, Savang Vatthana was the last monarch of which country?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Savang Vatthana. I'll spell the name.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18S-A-V-A-N-G V-A-T-T-H-A-N-A.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh, I'm glad about the H, I might have missed that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Er, again, I haven't a clue.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Erm, but since I feel completely lost, I will choose Laos.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Got it! It's the right answer. Three out of three!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- One out of three.- Yeah, well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40CJ, he's been in this situation before and knows what to do.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43In what capacity did Herbert Ponting take part
0:06:43 > 0:06:46in Captain Scott's ill-fated expedition?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Er, I don't know. Erm...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I really don't know this. I'll guess at photographer.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Photographer for Herbert Ponting. Eggheads, are you happy about that?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Yep.- Yes, it is the right answer, well done, CJ. Did he survive?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Oh, yes, he wasn't one of those who were lost.- He wasn't.- No.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11His photographs provided the record of what happened on that expedition.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Well, there we are. So, well, Adam,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16you've quizzing so well, we're going to make it a bit harder.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's been too easy for both of you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22That means we remove the choices and go to Sudden Death.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So, this is your question.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29The woman born Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst
0:07:29 > 0:07:31became better known by what name?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Oh. Again, total ignorance.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Erm, I'm going to guess it was Maria Theresa.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK, Maria Theresa.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46No. Good guess. It's incorrect.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- CJ? Eggheads?- I can't remember.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- Catherine the Great.- Catherine the Great.- So the same period.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So very close there, Adam, but a chance for CJ, then.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Which order of monks was founded in the early 16th century
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and named after the pointed cowls they wore?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10The Capuchins were named after the colour of their cowls.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15You've got Cistercian, Dominican...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Er, I don't know, I'll try the Capuchin.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's the right answer, CJ. You have got it,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27which means Adam, you're not going to be in the final round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29But thank you for quizzing so well.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Would you please both come back and join your teams?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35As it stands, Science Friction have lost one brain,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39the Eggheads are all there as we've only played one round.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Let's bring our next one out. Ha-ha! It is Science!
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Well, don't all rush at once.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- They've nominated me. Do you want me to do it?- I think so.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Apparently as I'm the only one who knows any biology.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Marty, and you can choose any Egghead apart from CJ.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Daphne?- She's smiling.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- She's always smiling.- She is, and that's good reason to choose her.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Daphne or Judith?- Go for Daphne. - Daphne.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08SHE SIGHS
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- That's the right response. - Yeah, she's always smiling.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Marty and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Marty, great to have you here. Science communicator.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I saw you on telly a while back
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- explaining why toast falls butter-side down.- Oh, yes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I missed the conclusion to that. Why does it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32It's because we are all holding toast at approximately the same height,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36and the size of toast is the same all over the world.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40As it falls, it rotates, making about half a rotation and hits the ground.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It's simply about height, not that the butter adds a bit of weight?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47No, unless you dropped it from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Can you get serious scientific principles across like that?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Any piece of science can be explained to anybody
0:09:56 > 0:09:58given enough time and props.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I mean, science, to me, is endlessly fascinating, interesting, absorbing,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07and all I do is try to communicate that enthusiasm.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13That's what we want as we throw a lot of questions at you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15A hugely broad subject, so best of luck.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Do you want to go first or second? - I will go first, please.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Off we go, Marty. Your first question.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Plants of the yucca genus are native to which part of the world?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Now, are they African or are they American?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Oh, deary me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I'll never live this one down if I get this one wrong.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I think they're South American.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'm going to go for Americas.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51OK. I'm just looking at your Science Friction colleagues.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- They're very happy. It's the right answer, well done.- Oh, thank God!
0:10:55 > 0:11:00It's amazing, the certainties begin to desert you in the question room.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Well, you've got it. The Americas. A solid start has been achieved.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09And Daphne, in physical chemistry, which term is used to refer to
0:11:09 > 0:11:12tiny particles of a solid or liquid suspended in a gas?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Aerosol.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Aerosol is correct. OK. And back to Marty.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24The open hearth process is a method of producing what?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Open hearth? - Open hearth, yes. H-E-A-R-T-H.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Right.- Yes, hearth. - Well, ammonia is the Haber process.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That's a slightly different thing.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Paper, why would you need a hearth in paper?
0:11:43 > 0:11:49Erm, steel seems almost too obvious. I'm going for steel.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- No trick questions, so right to do so. It's correct.- Phew!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Again, all happy there. Science Friction, you have two.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Daphne, which fibre used to make ropes and dartboards
0:12:01 > 0:12:03is obtained from an agave plant?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well, it's not kapok because that's cotton.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Erm, I would have said sisal.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Sisal.- Mm-hm.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You got it right. It is the right answer. Sisal.
0:12:17 > 0:12:23OK, right, getting to the decisive part of the round here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Marty, the canthus is located in which part of the human body?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32The canthus.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Oh, man alive. Erm...
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Oh, drag up that A-level biology. Erm...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm a plant scientist!
0:12:45 > 0:12:51Erm, now, my biology of the eye and the ear is moderate.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57And my understanding of the wrist is less so.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I'm going to say wrist.- OK, wrist.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05No. It's not in the wrist.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's in the eye. That's where the upper and lower eyelids meet.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13It's not over, though. Daphne needs to get this right if she's to win.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Daphne, in the abbreviation EUV,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18referring to the part of the spectrum
0:13:18 > 0:13:21between the ultraviolet and X-ray regions,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23for what does the letter E stand?
0:13:26 > 0:13:32If it's in the spectrum then I would say it was probably extreme.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38And it's extremely rude of you to eject a guest. It is correct.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Extreme goes green and I'm sorry to say, Marty,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46we have to bid you farewell. Stay with us though, in the studio.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, Science Friction, that friction not producing many sparks,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55lost two brains. The Eggheads all still there.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Two more head-to-heads so could be all square in the final round.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Our third one is Music. Who fancies displaying their musical knowledge
0:14:03 > 0:14:05from Johnny, Kate or Ian?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Johnny, you don't sing, do you? - No.- Thank goodness for that.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- I think that's the one I said I was going to volunteer at.- Yes.- OK.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Choose an Egghead. Remember CJ and Daphne have played in the middle,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so Chris on the end or Kevin or Judith.
0:14:18 > 0:14:25- Be brutal.- Be brave.- Hm. Chris.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Chris and Kate competing over music.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Could you both please go to the question room?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Kate, we need more female scientists and engineers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35We certainly do.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41I'm patron of WISE, the Women Into Science and Engineering campaign,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44to try and make more young women realise all the opportunities
0:14:44 > 0:14:48from studying science and maths, particularly going into engineering.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51We are beginning to deal with it,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- but not in sufficient quantities. - It's interesting.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58It's not necessarily what the girls think themselves,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01it's the influences who say, "Oh, do you really want to do that, dear?"
0:15:01 > 0:15:04And that can be enough to put somebody off.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08My advice is, if anybody shows interest, encourage that interest
0:15:08 > 0:15:12and they'll have a whale of a time pursuing science and engineering.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Hear, hear! Well said! Right, now let's pursue...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- It's seems rather mundane now. - Music!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Switch your head now. Do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So from the future of engineering to ABBA.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32What was the original surname of Anni-Frid,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35one of two female singers who found fame in the group ABBA?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Oh, dear. - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Oh, I'm really sorry about this, gang.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I'm going to go, it's a guess, but I'm going to go for Lyngstad.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Lyngstad. It's correct!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Hurray!- Brilliant, yes, well done. And your first question, Chris.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Who wrote the song Make You Feel My Love?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I've not heard it by Barry Manilow. Doesn't sound Dylanesque,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14so I'll go for the artist formerly known as Prince.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Erm, it's not. Bob Dylan. - Oh, was it?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Make You Feel My Love. Well, this is great news for you, Kate.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25You are one-nil up and a chance to go two-nil in the lead with this.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28The musician Dennis Brain
0:16:28 > 0:16:31was a virtuoso performer on which instrument?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Now, my instinct is one of those straight away.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- But now I'm beginning to feel nervous.- Well, what was it?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think Dennis Brain is a French horn player.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Yes, let's go for French horn. - Instincts.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Good to stick with them. It's the right answer.- Yes!- Brilliant!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Right, Chris goes out if he doesn't get this one.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59In which operetta does the character Adele sing the laughing song?
0:17:02 > 0:17:07That's more my kind of stuff. It's Die Fledermaus. The bat.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It is Die Fledermaus, you have a point.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But your reprieve may only be temporary
0:17:12 > 0:17:16if Kate continues that fantastic form and gives me a correct answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Who wrote the poems which were set to music by William Walton
0:17:19 > 0:17:22under the title Facade?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'm trying to think when that would've been.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I don't think it's Stevie Smith.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Sorry, team, it's going to be a guess again.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm going to go for Edith Sitwell.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's the right answer. - THEY CHEER
0:17:39 > 0:17:43You're through to the final round, no need to trouble Chris again.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Please come back and join your teams.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Talk about sparks. Kate set the world on fire there. Chris is out.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54The Eggheads are missing one brain. Science Friction missing two.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58It could be all square because we've got one more head-to-head to play
0:17:58 > 0:18:03and this is Food And Drink for Johnny or Ian. Food And Drink.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- I'd be happy for you to take it. - I'd be happy for you to take it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Very happy indeed.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I'm an engineer, I survive on stale sandwiches.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Being the captain, to spare his blushes,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I will blush taking Food And Drink.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- OK, captain's innings. Who do you want to play, Kevin or Judith?- Ohh.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Judith, can I play you? Is that OK? - I love playing Food and Drink
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- so I hardly ever get asked. - What have I done?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Let's have you both into the question room, please.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38BAFTA-award-winning Johnny Ball. Great to have you here.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Do you like your food and drink? - Well, I eat and drink every day,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so I should be used to it. But when it gets to exotic names,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I might struggle. We shall have to see.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- We will see right now. Do you want to go first or second?- First.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And the very best of luck, Johnny. First question.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03What part of the piper nigrum plant is used to make ground black pepper?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Well, often leaves are used, but I don't think this is leaves.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And I don't think black pepper comes from the root.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I can't... I can only go for fruit.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22OK. Fruit. Thumbs up from the team. Thumbs up from me, the right answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well done, Johnny. And Judith,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27flageolet is a type of which basic food?
0:19:28 > 0:19:34- It's a bean.- It is a bean. OK, we bounce straight back to Johnny.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37What term is applied to the state of over-ripeness
0:19:37 > 0:19:41at which certain fruits become suitable for eating?
0:19:42 > 0:19:48Right. I know when bananas are transported, they are very raw.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53And they mature on the way, and I've a feeling...
0:19:53 > 0:19:59That's not bletted. I have a feeling it's not whetted, either.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I'm going... - HE SIGHS
0:20:02 > 0:20:07I'm definitely not sure, but I think it might be fretted.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It's not fretted, Johnny, no. Anyone know?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Bletted.- It is bletted. - Never heard of it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Right, a chance for the lead, Judith.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16What is another name for the leaf vegetable
0:20:16 > 0:20:19winter purslane, often used in salads?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I don't think it's mountie's rocket because mounties are in Canada.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31So I don't think we would call it mountie's rocket.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34So, erm...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Winter purslane, miner's lettuce. Why would it be miner's lettuce?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Sailor's watercress?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I really don't know. I think it might be miner's lettuce.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Winter purslane is miner's lettuce.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You've got it. So Johnny, you need to get this.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52What is the French name of the red wine grape
0:20:52 > 0:20:55known in Germany as Spatburgunder?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Spatburgunder. Next to Burgundy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07It's that link. Pinot Noir is further south than Burgundy.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I'm going for Merlot.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Merlot.- I don't know. - OK, well, you will in a moment.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17It's Pinot Noir. I think you did the work there.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Burgundy where the red wine grape is, is Pinot Noir.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Pinot is a classic Burgundy grape. - Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27But, Johnny , it's over. You're not in the final round.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Judith has done it with two. Please come back and join your teams.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It's time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:40 > 0:21:43aren't allowed to take part.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45So Johnny, Adam and Marty from Science Friction,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54So, Kate and Ian, you are playing to win Science Friction £10,000.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09so anything can come up. But you are allowed to confer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Kate and Ian, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Kate and Ian, do you want to go first or second?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Oh, erm, first, definitely first.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24All right. First set of questions.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Off we go. Let's see if you can win this money for charity.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The Great Bear Lake
0:22:29 > 0:22:33is the largest freshwater lake entirely within which country?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39What do you think? Greenland is too cold.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The biggest lake in Greenland is probably a puddle.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48The biggest freshwater lake in Russia is Lake Baikal, isn't it?
0:22:49 > 0:22:55- I think Canada.- Canada. - It's a gut reaction, but, yeah, OK.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We're confidently hesitant
0:22:58 > 0:23:02about suggesting the possibility of Canada.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Kate's gut instinct worked well for you in those head-to-heads,
0:23:06 > 0:23:10it's worked again, Canada! OK, Eggheads,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14what type of large tree dominates the left foreground
0:23:14 > 0:23:18of Vincent van Gogh's 1889 work The Starry Night?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Starry Night, that's the one in Arles.- Yeah, when he was in Arles.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- It's got to be a cypress. - I think it's cypress.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- OK, happy with cypress?- Mm-hm. - We think that's a cypress.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Cypress is correct. Got it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39All square after the opening exchanges. Back to Kate and Ian.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The Rose Theatre, with an auditorium modelled on
0:23:41 > 0:23:45the original Elizabethan theatre of the same name,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48opened in 2008 in which town?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Oh!
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Oh, I thought this was going to ring a bell, but it hasn't.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I'm dredging, I'm dredging. Oh!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Can I make a wild guess. - Are you going to guess?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09No, I am going to read it psychically from you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I'm going to use your intuition in a psychic way.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Kingston upon Thames!
0:24:16 > 0:24:20I was rather hoping you were going to use a more scientific...
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Kingston upon Thames! Possibly. It was her psychic intuition.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- It's the right answer! - THEY LAUGH
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well, well, well. OK, well, you have two. Eggheads.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Clive Owen won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar
0:24:35 > 0:24:39for his performance in which 2004 film?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'm sure he was nominated for Closer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Croupier was his breakthrough film, that was much earlier. Duplicity...
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Is just a comedy. I'm sure he was nominated for an Oscar for Closer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Closer was one of those types of dramas that's up for awards.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Er, we think that is Closer.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02The Eggheads' popular culture expert and their film expert
0:25:02 > 0:25:05survived to the final round. Narrowed it down to Closer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It is. It's the right answer.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11If you get this, though, you could win the money. Ian and Kate,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15what is the name of the golf course at Sandwich in Kent
0:25:15 > 0:25:18that held the Open championship in 1932?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25We actually said that if we got sport, we're scuppered.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And we've managed to get this far.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We're scientists, we're proud not to know about sport.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- You've got Ian's psychic fingers. - They only work once.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Erm, 1932.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41If it was called Queen's, what queen would it be named after,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and why would it be there in 1932?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- If it was...- Queen Victoria.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52I don't like the sound of Prince's but that's not a good reason.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's up to you. You're...
0:25:55 > 0:25:58OK, I'm going to go scientifically
0:25:58 > 0:26:03and use the scientific technique known as a Monte Carlo simulation.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I'm going to make a wild guess at random and say Queen's.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Why is it a Monte Carlo simulation?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12If you want to test lots of options, you guess them at random
0:26:12 > 0:26:15so that you don't bias yourself.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19If you look at every second one, you may miss an effect on the others,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22so you choose them at random. So this is a Monte Carlo wild guess
0:26:22 > 0:26:27of Queen's, which I stress is based on no knowledge whatsoever,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30and has a two-to-one chance of being wrong. So it wasn't my fault.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- HE LAUGHS - I think you'd be pretty good
0:26:33 > 0:26:36if you ended up in Monte Carlo, but it's not Queen's.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41And it's the one you didn't like, Kate, it's Prince's. Prince's.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So, if they get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Eggheads, Corporal William Glass and his wife
0:26:46 > 0:26:49started a community in the early 19th century
0:26:49 > 0:26:52that still survives on which remote island?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'm assuming it's not Pitcairn.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- It's Tristan. - Yeah, that was my first thought.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Ascension... - Which was your first thought?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Tristan da Cunha. Mine, too. Both of us.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Which really, really is remote.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16- Mm.- In the same way that Pitcairn is but in the Atlantic,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Ascension is remote but it's not as remote, there's St Helena and...
0:27:20 > 0:27:23There's some official things on Ascension, too.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26There's a very small population on Tristan da Cunha.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28But Pitcairn, wasn't that the mutineers?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Yes, the mutineers from the Bounty.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I would go for Tristan da Cunha if it was me.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, I'm perfectly happy with that.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- So, are we happy to go for... - Yes.- Absolutely.- Tristan.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45We don't know it as such,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48but we've got reasons to go for Tristan da Cunha.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53OK. William Glass and his wife started a community,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56on the remote island of,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00yeah, Tristan da Cunha. It is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Ah, well, you played brilliantly today.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Science Friction, it's been great having you all here,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12the three guys stuck in the question room, too.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I think you approached the game in the way you approach science,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19a little serious at times, but above all, fun.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Not to be, though. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you haven't won the £10,000
0:28:30 > 0:28:34so it will be heading to Children In Need to add to this year's appeal.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:40 > 0:28:44have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. Until then, goodbye.
