0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:30 > 0:00:35against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Taking on the awesome quizzing challenge today are...
0:00:39 > 0:00:43This team of famous faces share one thing in common with our Pat.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49It's not that they know the middle names of everyone who's landed on the moon.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54The all hail from the Emerald Isle. Do they share his lust for winning?
0:00:54 > 0:01:00One thing for sure, someone on their team will be going for gold. Let's meet them.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm Henry Kelly. I'm a journalist and broadcaster.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08In the past, I was the quizmaster for 600 editions of Going For Gold.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13I'm Zoe Salmon. I'm a TV presenter and presented Blue Peter for four years.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19I'm Linda Nolan. I'm an actress and a singer - the talented one in the Nolan sisters!
0:01:19 > 0:01:25I'm Shauna Lowry. I'm a TV presenter and probably best known as the animal woman!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29My name's Mike Nolan and, no, I'm not a member of the Nolan Sisters.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33But I am the original member of the original Bucks Fizz.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Welcome to you all, Irish Ayes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Thank you very much indeed for coming to challenge the Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45I want to start with you, Henry. No introduction needed to our Daphne!
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Daphne, indeed. First winner, and a very worthy winner, too. Long time ago!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- But wonderful prize! A trip to Seoul Olympics!- Wow!
0:01:54 > 0:02:00That has helped her on Eggheads. You've been into all the Olympics.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- You've had questions about South Korea.- Yes.- And the Olympics.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10A lot of people said about Going For Gold, was it really fair?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13You get a bunch from Europe and ask them questions in English.
0:02:13 > 0:02:21- Six out of ten winners did not have English as their native language. Enough said.- Yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27To make it fair, you should have based it in Portugal and asked Daphne questions in Portuguese.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- She'd probably still know the answer.- That's the point!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Listen, Irish Ayes, we're going to get on with the quiz and chat
0:02:35 > 0:02:38as you attempt to knock Eggheads out.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43You know how it all works? Daphne will be a pushover, of course(!)
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers' charity.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Irish Ayes, the Eggheads have won the last five games.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58£6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Our first head-to-head, the first chance to knock an Egghead out, is on Arts & Books.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You know what happens here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10You pick a player, then pick an Egghead.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Go on. I'll volunteer. - Where has the buck stopped?- With me.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20- Captain Henry. Which Egghead would you like to play?- For old times' sake I'm going to ask Daphne.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26Yes! Just what we wanted! Can you turn the tables, Henry? Let's hope you can.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32It's Henry and Daphne playing our opening round, Arts & Books.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37To make sure you can't confer, we send you into the Question Room. Off you go.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- You choose, Henry, whether you go first or second.- I'll go first.
0:03:45 > 0:03:52Which country is the setting for the Booker Prize winning novel, The God Of Small Things?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's definitely not Greece.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02New Zealand...I don't...think.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04So I have to go for India.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08India is the right answer. Well handled there.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Always a good idea,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15when you're facing the Eggheads to get one up on them, put a bit of pressure on Daphne.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21The Frenchman Pierre Dukan has written best-selling books on what subject?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Diet - and it works!
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Does it?- Yes.- What does it involve? Eating less, like most diets?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- No. Loads of protein. - Right. That's the correct answer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK, Henry,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40your second question.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Which eponymous heroine has an affair with Count Vronsky?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's NOT Mrs Dalloway.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think it's Anna Karenina.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And Count Vronsky. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Daphne, The Wire In The Blood, used as a book title by Val McDermid
0:05:05 > 0:05:08is a quotation from which poet?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I'm...not sure.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16But it sounds...like...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18TS Eliot?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Yeah. It's the right answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I should warn you that Daphne,
0:05:23 > 0:05:28when she's guessing, is almost more dangerous than when she knows it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32She seems to land them with unerring accuracy.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34But TS Eliot you've got.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39So it's all-square, two-all. If you get this, Henry, you might beat her.
0:05:39 > 0:05:46Who painted The Seraph's Watch, a painting believed lost but rediscovered and exhibited in 2011?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55This is definitely a guess, Dermot.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'll go for...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- ..Millais.- John Everett Millais, a Pre-Raphaelite.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07And it is not Millais. Do you know, Daphne?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- No, um...- What would you guess of the other two? Makes it easier.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Ford Madox Brown?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Of course it is. You've guessed it so that's the answer.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's not over, Henry, because Daphne doesn't win
0:06:21 > 0:06:25unless she beats your score, so she has to get this one right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Which George Eliot novel did Virginia Wolf describe
0:06:28 > 0:06:33in the Times Literary Supplement as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people"?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Daniel Deronda.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42It is not the right answer. Other Eggheads?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44BOTH: Middlemarch.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Well!- Middlemarch. So it just proves she's human.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50We go, Henry, to Sudden Death.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55After three questions, we take away the options. I've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01The dolls' dressmaker Jenny Wren, whose real name is Fanny Cleaver,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04is a character in which Dickens novel?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Little Dorrit?- Plenty to go for. Little Dorrit is your answer.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's not. It's incorrect.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Daphne?- Nicholas Nickelby?- No. Other Eggheads?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Old Curiosity Shop? - No!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Our Mutual Friend. - DAPHNE: Oh.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Will Henry and Daphne
0:07:21 > 0:07:23still be friends after this?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28The Magic Mountain, the story of Hans Castorp's quest for self-knowledge
0:07:28 > 0:07:32while undergoing treatment for TB at a sanatorium,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34is a novel first published in 1924
0:07:34 > 0:07:36by which German writer?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Thomas Mann?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Is the right answer. Back to form, Daphne.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Bad luck, Henry.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Well done, but Daphne's done it. You're through to the final round.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57As it stands, the Irish Ayes have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59THE brain!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02"THE brain", says Linda!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Plenty more quizzing to go.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Three more head-to-heads, then the final round. Our second subject is Music.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12You said you'd do Music.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Don't bottle out now!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- I'll do it. - You want to do it?- Yeah. I'll do it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Good stuff. Choose an Egghead.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- It can't be Daphne. - MIKE: What about Judith?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Go for it. - Do you fancy a game, Judith?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Not really. Not my subject.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Not your subject? - Fabulous. Judith, then.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Sounds good.- That's a con. - Could be a bluff!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Judith. I'll do Judith.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43OK, let's have Mike and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49Let's play this music round, Mike. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'll be a gentleman and go second.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57First question, then, to Judith.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00The song A New Argentina comes from which musical?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well, I think it MIGHT be Evita.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- I can't believe it could be anything else.- Is that a wild guess?
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- It's a wild guess.- It's right. Let's see if his is equally simple.
0:09:15 > 0:09:23In a Beatles song, who "sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round"?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Right...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30That wasn't the Walrus.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35And I haven't heard Mr Kite.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39So that leaves The Fool On The Hill.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Please tell me that's right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Is that your answer? - Well, it's too late now. It's gone.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You'd be the fool in the question box! Course it's right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Thank you. Thank you. - All-square.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Which Hollywood legend released My Heart in 2011,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00her first new album in almost 20 years?
0:10:02 > 0:10:07I saw a paragraph or something the other day about Doris Day.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14I have a feeling it might be her, but she's about 95 or something.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Anyway, I think it's Doris Day.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- CHUCKLING:- Not quite in her 90s, I don't think.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's the right answer. My Heart identified by Judith.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Mike, your second question.
0:10:26 > 0:10:34The Pakistan-born singer Sarah Joyce released her debut album Seasons Of My Soul
0:10:34 > 0:10:37in 2010, under which name?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43SIGHS Right, um...
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I don't think it's Nerina.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm going to go for Rumer.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Really?- Rumer. Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Yes, it was. It's the right answer. - I can't believe it!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Thank you!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01OK, Judith.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Who composed When I'm Laid In Earth,
0:11:04 > 0:11:09which came first in a 2010 Radio 3 poll to find Britain's favourite opera aria?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I think that's Purcell.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It is. Purcell is correct.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Going well there.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Mike, just held on with the last one.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Would have been out if you'd got that wrong, but you need this as well.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32The singles The Promise, The Loving Kind and Untouchable
0:11:32 > 0:11:34feature on which Girls Aloud album?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm not sure about this one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm going to do what Henry Kelly says.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45"If you don't know the answer, go straight down the middle."
0:11:45 > 0:11:47So I'll go for...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Out Of Control.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53LAUGHTER I'm Irish!
0:11:53 > 0:11:59Please tell me that's right. I'll get such a kick if it's right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Get ready for that kick. It is right.- Oh, fantastic!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It DID work! Down the middle. Take the left one!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Fantastic set of answers there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Three out of three, so we go for Sudden Death.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14No options, then, for either of you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:21Judith, in 1983, Too Shy became the first UK Number One single for which group?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Absolutely no idea.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Is that a pass?- Yeah. - Mike knows this, I'm very sure.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Yeah. It's Kajagoogoo.- Kajagoogoo!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Can you do that again and I'll answer?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35If only that had come your way.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39You do have a chance here to get through into the final round.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Judith has, as you see, not even attempted an answer there.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46If you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:12:46 > 0:12:56In the words of the children's song, who "grew whiskers on his chinegan"?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02EXAGGERATED IRISH ACCENT: I think that was Michael Finnegan.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Michael Finnegan is correct! - It's correct!
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- I don't believe it! - And, Michael Nolan,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10you're in the final round!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13What a display in there!
0:13:13 > 0:13:18You're in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:18 > 0:13:24It's all-square. Both Irish Ayes and Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Our third head-to-head today comes up as Film & Television.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Something you all should know quite a bit about.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36The chaps have played, so it's down to the women - Zoe, Linda or Shauna.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Do you think I should do it? - Yes.- OK.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- If you're happy for me to try. - You, Zoe?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- Let's do it.- It's a reverse situation on the Eggheads' side.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52All the men HAVEN'T played. Which would you like to choose - Pat, Barry or Chris?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Let's do Irish with Irish. Yeah, go with, er...- Pat.- With Pat.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Zoe and Pat, then, playing Film & Television
0:13:59 > 0:14:03from the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:09OK, an all-Irish clash there. Zoe, do you want to go first or second in Film & Television?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oh! I'll go first!
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Good luck, Zoe.- Thank you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21In January 2011, who became the first active professional footballer
0:14:21 > 0:14:24to sit on the panel of Question Time?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I can't imagine it would be Wayne Rooney.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36It's got to be either Robbie or Clarke.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40If it was Robbie, I probably would have heard of that. It must be...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm going to go with Clarke Carlisle.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's the right answer.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50I think Wayne Rooney would be a welcome addition to Question Time!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Good on you, Wayne. Get your agent on to that.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Clarke Carlisle identified by Zoe. First question for Pat.
0:14:57 > 0:15:03Which double act appeared as game show hosts in the 2011 film Horrid Henry?
0:15:06 > 0:15:12I saw a little bit of this film with Noel Fielding and Richard E Grant.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think Dick and Dom surfaced as well.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Dick and Dom is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:20 > 0:15:27Zoe, a dog called Reuben became famous for being the on-screen companion of which presenter?
0:15:31 > 0:15:36I didn't think Ray had a dog companion but I could be wrong.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Um... So, based on that...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I'll guess Neil Oliver. - Down the middle and swerve off!
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Should have stayed down the middle. Monty Halls and his friend Reuben.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54If Ray Mears had a dog, he'd probably have barbecued it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Part of his survival skills. Monty Halls there, with Reuben.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05Chance for Pat. In 2011, filming of the hospital drama Casualty moved from Bristol to which city?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Several quiz shows went to Glasgow.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15And some quiz shows and sports programmes went to Salford.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Did they go the short journey across the Severn Bridge to Cardiff?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I'll have to go with Cardiff, but it's pretty much a guess.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Casualty, the short hop from Bristol to Cardiff? It's correct.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32You have it. Cardiff. Means you need to get this, Zoe.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38The classic Four Yorkshiremen comedy sketch was originally written for which programme?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46A complete guess.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Not Only... But Also?
0:16:48 > 0:16:54Not Only... But Also for The Four Yorkshiremen comedy sketch.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58It's not the right answer. Do you know, Pat?
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- I'd go for At Last, the 1948 Show. - It's the answer we were looking for.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Which means Pat has won the round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Sorry, Zoe. Means you're not in the final round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Pat, you'll be there. Would you both please join your teams?
0:17:13 > 0:17:20Balance slightly tipped in the Eggheads' favour. They've lost one brain. Irish Ayes have two missing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26The last head-to-head coming up. Down to Linda or Shauna to balance it up with Food & Drink.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- You said earlier. - Well, I can't guarantee.- No.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- But you said you'd have a go. - Are you happy to do the last round?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38There'll be somebody with me then!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Her brother's doing it with her.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- I can't break up the family! - You'll come back. You'll get this. - I'll try my best.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Shauna, stay with us and choose an Egghead. One of those lovely pair. Barry or Chris?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Go Barry.- Oh, God!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Well, they're all fabulous, so just go with...- Barry it is.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05Barry it is. Shauna and Barry heading for the Question Room now, please.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Shauna, I loved your introduction, the animal of the team!
0:18:08 > 0:18:16Animal Hospital, the chicken and egg question. Did you learn to love animals because you did the show?
0:18:16 > 0:18:21You had to do the show if you loved animals. It was just my dream job!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I loved it so much.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29The interview process said, "Are you scared of anything? Is there anything you won't do?"
0:18:29 > 0:18:34So I have dived with sharks. I have had tigers jump on me. Everything!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37There's nothing I won't do when it comes to animals.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- You get to choose. Do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Good luck. Which presenter on the Food And Drink programme
0:18:49 > 0:18:52was famous for her flowery descriptions of wine?
0:18:55 > 0:19:01I'm not sure who Debra Meiburg is, to be honest. Joanna Simon?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04No. Jilly Goolden is very famous for Food And Drink.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I think that's where she started
0:19:06 > 0:19:11and has gone on to bigger and better things. Jilly Goolden.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14"I'm getting gooseberries and smelly socks!"
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Jilly Goolden is correct! Well done.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Barry, what type of dish is a bombe, B-O-M-B-E?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Well, I like all of those, but I'm very partial to my sweet tooth.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37So I know that a bombe is an ice cream dessert.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Italian, isn't it?- French, I think.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42French. Mind you...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I have it in Italian restaurants, in me pizza place.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49It's the right answer, though. French or Italian.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Shauna, in Mrs Beeton's recipe, essence of what is used to flavour Everton toffee?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Toffee, I haven't made for a while.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Everton being, what, black and white? Is that their team colours?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I'm going to go for...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12..peppermint?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Just because it's kind of old-fashioned.- And the stripes.- Yes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Maybe your knowledge of football's let you down here.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- No?- They play in blue, which wouldn't have been any help.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- They're certainly not in stripes. It's essence of lemon.- Sorry, guys.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Always a tough category, this.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- That is hard.- Let's see if Barry struggles with any of his.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41In the 1950s, hotel manager Brian Collins created the Galway Festival which celebrates which food?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Well, I'm rather partial to seafood.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I believe that Galway oysters are one of the finest you can eat.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- I think the answer is oysters. - The Galway Oyster Festival.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58That is right. So it means that you need to get this, Shauna.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04Which member of the royal family designed the 2004 Chateau Mouton Rothschild label,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08which marked the 100th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Peter Phillips, probably not.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Um... Prince Edward. We don't really know what he's up to at the moment.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21So maybe he did it. I don't know.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I'm going to go with Prince Charles, but it's a wild guess.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27A wild guess at Prince Charles
0:21:27 > 0:21:31with the Chateau Mouton Rothschild label of 2004.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- It's the right answer! - Yes! Come on!- Still in it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But that blot on the copybook
0:21:37 > 0:21:42in the middle gives Barry a chance to take the round here.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48What drink is taken as a palate cleanser between courses in a traditional Trou Normand?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Could you spell that, please? - T-R-O-U N-O-R-M-A-N-D.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57N-O-R-M-A-N-D?
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Well, Calvados is a brandy that comes from Normandy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06So on that basis alone, I will go for Calvados.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Knows his regional French drinks, and got the right answer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You're playing in the final round.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I knew that one! Knew the oyster one.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It's the way the questions fell, unfortunately for you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25You won't be in the final round. Please come and join your teams.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30This is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:33 > 0:22:38won't be allowed to take part, so Henry, Zoe and Shauna from the Irish Ayes
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio now?
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Linda and Mike, you're playing to win the Irish Ayes £6,000.
0:22:47 > 0:22:54Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money cannot buy - it is your reputation.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59I ask each team three questions in turn, which you'll be familiar with from the head-to-heads.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But this round you are allowed to confer,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06which is why Mike's victory was so important, Linda.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12The question is, Linda and Mike, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Do you want to go first or second?
0:23:15 > 0:23:21Because I am an avid watcher of the programme, I know, probably, it makes no difference at all!
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- But people normally go first so we'll go first...- No. Go second. - Shut up!- All right.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32First question coming your way
0:23:32 > 0:23:36and £6,000, potentially, at the end of these first three questions.
0:23:36 > 0:23:43Pointe des Almadies is the western-most mainland point on which continent?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- What's it called again? - It's called Pointe des Almadies.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- What do you think?- So, Almadies Point.- Map of the world.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- I think South... - I thought South America.- Not Europe.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- It's definitely not Europe. - I think South America.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05You want to go for South America?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I thought that, but we might be completely wrong.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The western-most mainland point on which continent?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- The Pointe des Almadies? - South America.- OK.- Shall we?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Go on, then. Do it.- Don't say it as if it's my idea.- No, it's OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Mike thinks...it's South America.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26OK. South America for the Pointe des Almadies.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's actually Africa.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- I told you that was Africa! - The French influence in Senegal.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I told him that!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38OK, Eggheads, how will you do?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42The United States Tennis Association National Tennis Center
0:24:42 > 0:24:46was renamed in honour of which tennis player in 2006?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53The United States Tennis Association National Tennis Center
0:24:53 > 0:24:56was renamed in honour of which tennis player in 2006?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Sounds reasonable.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03It won't be Venus Williams. She's still playing.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Or Billie Jean Moffitt, as she was.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, we're none too sure.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12We don't think it's Venus Williams cos she's still playing.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15We don't think it's Chris Evert cos she married John Lloyd,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- an Englishman, and would be seen as a traitor in some quarters!- What?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24We think the person who has acquired elder stateswoman status
0:25:24 > 0:25:29is Billie Jean King, nee Moffitt, so we'll go with Billie Jean King.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33What reason... What hokum!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37What a load of rubbish! Right answer, though.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39How they got that! Goodness me!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Let's hope you get better luck with this one, Nolans!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Linda and Mike! I know! Don't worry, Linda!
0:25:46 > 0:25:52Try this for size. With which journalist did Germaine Greer have a well-publicised spat,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57describing her as having "hair bird-nested all over the place"?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Eve Pollard.- I think Eve Pollard. I'd say Eve Pollard.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06No disrespect to Eve Pollard's hair.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12- Nothing wrong with Eve Pollard's hair.- I thought Eve Pollard. OK...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Eve Pollard, we're going to go for.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18You could imagine the row, couldn't you, between any of them?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23All got strong opinions, firmly expressed. Germaine Greer and...
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Suzanne Moore.- Oh, no! - Suzanne Moore, oh, dear.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's not looking great,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33it must be said, for the Irish Ayes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:40The notorious Burma Railway was built during World War II to link Burma and which country?
0:26:42 > 0:26:47- Oh.- Hm.- Well, the Japanese were trying to get to India.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Would they have built the railway to link India?
0:26:50 > 0:26:56- PAT: They had a grip on Thailand. - Thailand was neutral, wasn't it?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- I can't imagine... - Well, Siam was neutral.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03They wanted to reach India. They couldn't build a railway there.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It would have to be Thailand.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It certainly wasn't China.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- The bridge on the River Kwai is in Thailand.- Yes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Strangely enough, for a railway related question, we're not sure.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I know! Having you, Chris!
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- He knows everything about railways! - Why don't they just get it wrong?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26..which was a real thing, is in Thailand so it's got to be Thailand.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Burma Railway was built to link Burma and...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Thailand. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Oh, well.- Oh, well.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- We're not ashamed.- We're devastated. - You never got going.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Two tough questions there, but we just loved having you here.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- All of you.- It's such an honour to play because I'm such a fan.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- You're all brilliant. I hate you all but...!- See the maestros at work.
0:27:55 > 0:28:01The one thing teams coming up will take away is that new technique of straight down the middle.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- I thought that was good.- Straight down the middle, pick anything.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09The idea is to go straight down the middle and go to the left or right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Any one of three, then?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Yeah.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- It has been so much fun having you here, Irish Ayes.- Oh!- All of you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And those back in the Question Room.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Those Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £6,000 and that means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:41Do join us to see if a team of experts from Antiques Road Trip have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Should be interesting. £7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
