0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Tackling our awesome quiz geniuses today
0:00:37 > 0:00:38are Full House.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40As presenters of some of the most popular
0:00:40 > 0:00:42house and home programmes,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm hoping this team can help me with something.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm always puzzled by how estate agents
0:00:47 > 0:00:50can make something run-down sound so wonderfully appealing.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55For example, "In need of smartening up but with rustic charm.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58"Characterful features, scope for improvement.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02"Far-reaching views, well preserved. In need of some updating..."
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Sorry, that's the producer's notes about the Eggheads. Like it?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Before I get in trouble, let's meet the team!
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm Alistair Appleton.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I present Escape To The Country for the BBC.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Before that, I worked on Cash In The Attic and House Doctor,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21so I've been in the TV property business for about 12 years.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24My name's Ed Hall and I had the pleasure of presenting
0:01:24 > 0:01:28the BBC's flagship property programme To Buy Or Not To Buy
0:01:28 > 0:01:32for four of the best years of my life.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hi, I'm Laura Hamilton.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I'm currently presenting A Place In The Sun: Winter Sun
0:01:37 > 0:01:39and A Place In The Sun: Home Or Away?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I'm also filming a brand-new property show with Amanda Lamb, which will be out next year.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45But today I'm ready to take on the Eggheads.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Hello, I'm Angus Purden.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm a television presenter and a student of the Open University.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53You'll know me best from Room For Improvement
0:01:53 > 0:01:54and Cash In The Attic.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Hi, I'm Simon O'Brien. I presented To Buy Or Not To Buy for many years.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm currently working on Channel 4, making The Renovation Game.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Full House, very good to meet you and thank you very much indeed
0:02:04 > 0:02:06for agreeing to take on the Eggheads today.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10What's your feeling? We'll go to you, Captain Appleton.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14What's your feeling about your chances against the Eggheads today?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I'm slightly alarmed now I'm captain. The weight of...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18It has a certain ring about it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Captain Appleton? Yeah. I think we are in with a good chance.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The combined brilliance and intelligence of this team.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28No pressure(!)
0:02:29 > 0:02:32What we don't want to see is all of you in the booth
0:02:32 > 0:02:34at the end of the show - or four of you, anyway.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I want to see some hard work during the head-to-heads.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'll tell you what has been going on so far.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:42 > 0:02:44for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:46 > 0:02:51the prize-money rolls over to our next show. Full House, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55That means, of course, £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Let's start and chat as we go.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Our first head-to-head battle, a chance to knock an Egghead out,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03is going to be on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Pick a champion to take on
0:03:05 > 0:03:07one of the Eggheads.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Dermot, I'm going to take that one. - OK, Alistair, kicking off.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Any Egghead you like, that's the advantage.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Choose someone you think might have a slight weakness on this subject.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Dave's a bit tight-lipped, isn't he? - Yeah, I'm going to go for Dave.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Dave?- Bring it on, Dave.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Let's see what happens in the first head-to-head.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Arts & Books, we've got Alistair going into battle against Dave.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Into the Question Room, please, to make sure you can't confer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Arts & Books. You get to choose.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Do you want to go first or second, Alistair?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I think I'd like to go first.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41First question.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44A note at the bottom of the page that explains something appearing
0:03:44 > 0:03:47in the main body of a text is known as a what?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54As I've just handed in an academic essay,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I know that it is, in fact, a footnote.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01You've got it, footnote is correct. Dave,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04in the traditional fairytale Jack And The Beanstalk,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Jack receives some magic beans in exchange for a what?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It was a cow.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It is a cow. That's correct. Back to Alistair, number two.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19In the 1981 Hannibal Lecter novel Red Dragon, by Thomas Harris,
0:04:19 > 0:04:24the serial killer Francis Dolarhyde is known by what name?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't know. I'm drawn to the Tooth Fairy.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35So first guess, best guess. Tooth fairy.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38First guess, best guess? It can be.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42It is. It's the right answer. Well played. Well done
0:04:42 > 0:04:45with Buffalo Bill and the Tooth Fairy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Dave, the collection of the Walker Gallery in Liverpool
0:04:49 > 0:04:52contains a portrait by William Hogarth
0:04:52 > 0:04:55of the actor David Garrick in which Shakespearean role?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I don't know.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08But I'll hazard a guess and, just on the appearance of the character,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I'll go Richard III. But absolutely no certainty it's that answer.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17OK, no certainty, but thinking what would be plausible and logical.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It is the right answer. Well done, Dave. You have two.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22This is a very good round.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24These questions for each of you,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26third questions could be the decisive ones.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Alistair, which English author moved to a remote cottage called Barnhill
0:05:31 > 0:05:34on the Scottish island of Jura in 1946?
0:05:40 > 0:05:48Now, I think I know this because 1984 is the book by George Orwell.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52He chose 84 because it was 48 backwards.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I know that's when it came out and I think he died then.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So I'm going to go for George Orwell.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I remember he caught tuberculosis up there.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Wow, he should be on the Eggheads! Brilliant answer.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It's right as well. Obviously it's right, if it's brilliant!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Well done, Alastair.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Extra information as well, thank you very much. OK, Dave.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17You know what you've got to do if you're going to stay in it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21The playwright Willy Russell's debut novel The Wrong Boy
0:06:21 > 0:06:24is made up of the main character's letters to which singer?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29I've got an instinct.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Somebody you'd write letters to in that instance would be Morrissey.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38That's got to be my answer. I've just got an instinct.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I don't know the answer, but Morrissey sounds plausible
0:06:41 > 0:06:44as someone who would be written letters to.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Back-to-back questions with a Liverpool link, there.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51And had to hazard a guess at both of them.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And landed them both, it's correct. Morrissey.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Well, first round
0:06:55 > 0:07:00and straight into Sudden Death after some very good quizzing by you both.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Alistair, we're going to make it harder,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05just to sort out a winner, and take away the choices.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Can you tell me this? In which Charles Dickens novel is John Harman
0:07:10 > 0:07:14potentially left a fortune by his refuse-collector father?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm going to have to guess, because I don't know.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I'm going to make a guess and say Our Mutual Friend?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27It's the right answer!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Oh, wow! I'm channelling!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35OK, well,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37it hasn't achieved anything yet!
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Dave, what is the title of the 1945 novel by Nancy Mitford
0:07:42 > 0:07:45that was followed four years later by a companion volume
0:07:45 > 0:07:49entitled Love In A Cold Climate?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't know. Love In A Cold Climate was coming into my mind.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Let's have a think. Love In A Cold Climate...
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I'll go U For Unity, but I think it's another Mitford who wrote that.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06No, it's not U For Unity. It's incorrect, Dave.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- It is The Pursuit Of Love.- I would never have got anywhere near.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Crikey, fantastic performance.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You're in the final round, Alistair.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Please come back and join your teams.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21What a storming performance in a very tricky round by Alistair.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It's put a real spring in the step of all team members on Full House.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It means the Eggheads are already missing one brain
0:08:27 > 0:08:28from the final round.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Let's move straight on to our next subject. This one's History.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36You can't play, Alistair. I'm sure you'd probably like to, after that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Which one of the other four is going to take it on?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It wouldn't be my subject, but if no-one else wants it,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43someone's got to play, haven't they?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- Definitely not mine.- Simon? - I'll step up.- What a courageous man.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Simon, stay with us. You need to choose your Egghead.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Dave is the only one you can't have. Any of the other four.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58They all look terrifying.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'm guessing the least terrifying looks like Daphne to me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Least terrifying?- That's because she's the best-looking!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- You get a bye!- I like you. - You like him?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Let's find out if she's terrifying,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15in that Question Room she could change.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Let's have Simon and Daphne heading there, please.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Simon, good to have you here. Let's talk housing in a roundabout way.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Those of us of a certain age will remember you as a cheeky kid.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Damon Grant in Brookside? Had you acted before you got that part?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36No, the reason I started in this whole industry
0:09:36 > 0:09:38was to get a day off school.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40They came to our local school and said,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43"Anyone who wants to go for an interview for this,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and audition for this new soap they're starting,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48you can go with the school's grace and it's on Tuesday afternoon."
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Tuesday afternoon was double maths.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53My hand shot up quicker than you could imagine.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Unbelievably, I got the part and just started from there.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's History, I know not perhaps your favourite subject,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04but taking one for the team, you say. Do you want to go first or second?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Um, I'll jump straight in. I'll go first.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12All right, straight in and first question.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Which of these nicknames for policemen
0:10:14 > 0:10:17came from the name of a statesman who served two terms
0:10:17 > 0:10:19as Prime Minister in the 19th-century?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yeah, OK. I'm happy with this one, I think.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Um, bobbies,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30it's from Robert Peel, I think.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32So bobbies.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Bobbies. We got two nicknames from him,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36because we got peelers, as well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's the right answer. Well done.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Daphne, in 1898,
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Britain leased part of which place from China for 99 years?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Right. Hong Kong.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Hong Kong?- Mm-hm.- OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59That explains why it was handed back in 1997?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Yes.- It's the right answer.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Well done. Hong Kong.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06OK, back to you, Simon, second question, good start.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10The Seabed Treaty of 1971
0:11:10 > 0:11:15forbade the placing of what on the seabed in international waters?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24OK, '71. I don't know.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29I'm not thinking rubbish dumps.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Although... Maybe.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35No, do you know what, I've changed my mind completely.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Nuclear weapons, submarine bases,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41that wouldn't be allowed anyway, I don't think.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, I don't know, you know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's just a pure guess and I will go against my instincts
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and say rubbish dumps.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, they're all plausible.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Forbade the placing of what on the seabed, this treaty of 1971?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It is, of course, the height of the Cold War.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Nuclear weapons is the answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04All right, Daphne.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06See how you do with your second one.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Which British monarch celebrated his Silver Jubilee in 1935?
0:12:14 > 0:12:191935 was George V.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Yeah, it is. No disputing it. The date tells you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Those Eggheads learn their dates. George V is correct.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It means, Simon, you need this.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Who was who was the first Prime Minister to occupy Chequers
0:12:31 > 0:12:33after its owner Viscount Lee of Fareham made provision
0:12:33 > 0:12:35for it to become a retreat?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41OK.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I don't know why, um...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48But just instinctively I'm drawn to
0:12:48 > 0:12:51David Lloyd George, so I'll stick with that.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55OK. And you've got the right answer. David Lloyd George.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00And, Daphne, the 1879 Treaty of Gandamak effectively
0:13:00 > 0:13:03gave Britain control over which country's foreign policy?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Could you spell it?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12G-A-N-D-A-M-A-K.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13(Ah.)
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Egypt.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Incorrect, Daphne. - Afghanistan?- It is Afghanistan, yes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I was tossing them up.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24OK, let's get on with it, because it's all square
0:13:24 > 0:13:27and we go to Sudden Death again. These are such exciting rounds.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Simon, the final words of which 1848 publication
0:13:31 > 0:13:34are generally translated into English as
0:13:34 > 0:13:36"workers of the world unite?"
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Oh, no! I think it's Karl Marx. Is it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Is that too early?
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- I don't know. Rise Of The Masses. - Do you know, Daphne?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Communist Manifesto.- There you heard it. The Communist Manifesto.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Let's see how Daphne does. It is not over, Simon.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58The military religious order
0:13:58 > 0:14:02the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06founded in 1118, is more commonly known by what name?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09The Knights Templar.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You stuck the sword in there. It's the right answer.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The Knights Templar, which means you won the round.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Bad luck, Simon, you got to Sudden Death.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22You did really well, but look at Daphne, landing the guesses
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and generously being applauded by Full House.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's all square, both teams have lost one brain
0:14:30 > 0:14:34from the final round and a lot more quizzing to do.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38We move on to our third head-to-head and this is Film & Television,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42which I suspect a few of you might like to have a go at.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Three of you left in the middle. It's Ed, Laura or Angus.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I don't mind taking this, but it's up to you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- If you want me to wait till the next one.- Would you mind, in case it's Politics?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53OK, Film & Television, our girl's going.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- I'm going to give it my best shot. - OK, Laura, pick an Egghead.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00And we've had Dave and Daphne in the Question Room,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03so you have a choice between Barry, Chris and Kevin.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I want to see Chris smile. I'm going to choose Chris.- OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Trying to make Chris smile. He might smile being asked into the Question Room by you.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14That's going to make a difference to him. Let's have call Laura and Chris heading there, please.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19- Laura, do you want go first or second?- I'm going to go first.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK. Off you go. Good luck.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28What is the profession of Denzel Washington's character
0:15:28 > 0:15:31in the 1993 film Philadelphia?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I'm guessing here completely that it's a lawyer.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Guessing? Is she right?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- ALL: Yeah.- Endorsed by the Eggheads, it's correct. Well done. Good start.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Important to get that first one on the board.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48The easiest one!
0:15:48 > 0:15:52And, Chris, who was the main female host
0:15:52 > 0:15:57of the television series The Voice UK when it first aired in 2012?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I don't think it was Holly Willoughby, not quite her thing.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I don't think it was Christine Bleakley, either.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think it's Davina McCall.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Davina McCall. It's incorrect.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- It is Holly Willoughby.- Is it?!- Yes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Holly Willoughby. Well, a flying start.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Go 2-0 up if you get this, Laura,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20so concentrate and best of luck with it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Who stars as CIA officer Carrie Mathison
0:16:24 > 0:16:27in the US TV series Homeland?
0:16:30 > 0:16:36I am a fan of Homeland and I do know the answer. It's Claire Danes.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Claire Danes is correct, well done.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You have two, Chris has none and goes back
0:16:42 > 0:16:45with his tail between his legs if he doesn't get this.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Which comedian co-wrote and starred in the 2012 comedy film The Dictator?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56That is Sacha Baron Cohen.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01It is Sacha Baron Cohen, of course, as the dictator.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03But, you're dictating the pace here, Laura.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05If you get this, you have a place in the final round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Bitzer is the name of a dog in which children's programme?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Oh, dear. I should know this. Um...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I don't think it's Peppa Pig,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21because I used to work on a children's channel
0:17:21 > 0:17:25that showed Peppa Pig. I think,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and this is a complete guess, it's Rastamouse.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32OK, Bitzer in Rastamouse for a place in the final round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- No.- Oh!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Please don't say it's Peppa Pig!
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's not Peppa Pig, it's Shaun The Sheep.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Chris, the singer Vonda Shepard appeared as a stage performer
0:17:41 > 0:17:44in most episodes of which television series?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51She used to play piano in the bar they used to go to after work
0:17:51 > 0:17:53in Ally McBeal.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Oh, they're dangerous when wounded. Ally McBeal is the right answer.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Chris, he's back and coming at you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Still work to do, Laura.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04In Sudden Death, as well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Humphrey Bogart won his only Best Actor Oscar for his performance
0:18:07 > 0:18:13- in which film?- Sorry, guys, I have absolutely no idea.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I don't even know any films that he's in,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19so I don't even think I could hazard a guess.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21No. I mean... I don't even think he's in it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Singing In The Rain? - Humphrey Bogart.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He would have been good, I think, yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- He liked to wear a raincoat, that's for sure.- No, sorry.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's not Singing In The Rain. Chris will tell us.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It's the African Queen with Katharine Hepburn.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39OK, a chance for Chris.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43In which 1958 film does James Stewart play
0:18:43 > 0:18:47the agoraphobic policeman John "Scottie" Ferguson?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Ah, it's not Rear Window, because he's just shut in with a broken leg.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54So it's got to be the other one. Vertigo.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Vertigo?- Mm. - Is the right answer, Chris.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well done. Bad luck, Laura.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- I tried.- Laura, you really did try.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- I gave him a run for his money. - You certainly did.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You got within...whatever the phrase is in quizzing.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Very close to knocking him out, he's a very lucky Egghead,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but you are in the final round, Chris, and you're not, Laura.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22As it stands, Full House have lost two brains from the final round.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23The Eggheads have lost one.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27It could be all square in the final round after our last head-to-head.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32This one is Music and you have Ed or Angus to play it. Music.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I'll take that if you don't want to take it and you could...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I was hoping for Politics!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42What about Barry with that shirt?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What's wrong with this shirt?!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It makes me think of curtains.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Do you want to pick who I go against?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Maybe that's what we should do. - Er, OK, Music.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I don't know what it is, but I'm fascinated by the shirt. I'd go with Barry.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK. I'm going to go with Barry on Music.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00All right. Let's just confirm that it will be you, Ed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Ed taking on Barry, into the Question Room, please.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And they're taking on Mr Curtains, Barry,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08as he's been dubbed by Angus.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Um, I am going to say I'll go first.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24Ed, which singer has had UK Top 40 singles with Olivia Newton-John,
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Phil Everly and the cast of the TV sitcom The Young Ones?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Um, the answer is Cliff Richard for that one, I think.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Yeah, it is. Sir Cliff is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43And, Barry, calypso is a style of music
0:20:43 > 0:20:47that's most associated with which island?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I love calypso music
0:20:50 > 0:20:53and the island it's associated with is obviously Trinidad.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Yes, obviously. Correct.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59And Ed, what is the surname of the American musician
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and Black Eyed Peas member known as Will.i.am?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Will.i.am.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Will I Adams? Maybe. OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So I'm going with the logic that Will.i.am's surname
0:21:14 > 0:21:19is Adams, based on the fact that it has an "am" in it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Adams. I guess that must be the reason. It's the right answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Well done. Well sorted out.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK. Your second question, Barry.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33The song Here I Go Again was a UK Top 10 single in 1987
0:21:33 > 0:21:34for which rock group?
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Goodness. Don't know the song. Probably will if I hear it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44So this is a guess,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46but I'll go straight down the middle for Bon Jovi.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Bon Jovi. Dave, what do you think?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I think it is Whitesnake. - If it was in the final round,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54there'd be a bit of at argument. It's Whitesnake.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Not Bon Jovi. Well, great news, Ed. Fantastic.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03I'm over the moon. Who'd have thought he wouldn't have known the answer Whitesnake?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Exactly. Well, you are in the same position as Laura.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09If you get it, you book a place in the final round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13If you don't, you give the Egghead a chance to come back at you. So seal it with this, please.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Which hymn with words by Henry Francis Lyte
0:22:18 > 0:22:21is most commonly sung to a tune called "Eventide"?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28OK. I'm going... HE SNIGGERS
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I don't even want to say why I'm choosing this one.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34"Eventide" sounds like "abide".
0:22:34 > 0:22:36LAUGHTER
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So I'm going to go with Abide With Me.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, it's the scanning as well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44You have picked the right answer,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46as Barry knows. Abide With Me.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Eventide. It's going to be all square in the final round
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and what a final round that really could be.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Please come back and join your teams.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It is time, of course, for the final round,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:05 > 0:23:09won't be allowed to take part in this round so, Laura and Simon, sorry,
0:23:09 > 0:23:14from Full House, and Dave and Barry, I'm not sorry, from the Eggheads!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Would you both please leave the studio?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21So Alistair, Ed and Angus, you're playing to win £4,000.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Kevin, Daphne and Chris,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:23:25 > 0:23:27the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31This time, the questions are General Knowledge
0:23:31 > 0:23:33and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Full House, the question is, are your three brains better than
0:23:37 > 0:23:40the Eggheads' three? And Full House, your choice again.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Er, I think we'll continue in a similar vein. We'll go first.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You've been doing really well up to this point.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Let's keep that performance going, as Angus is saying.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58First question - in the classic arcade game Pac-Man,
0:23:58 > 0:23:59what name is usually given
0:23:59 > 0:24:02to the characters that chase Pac-Man around a maze?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09In the classic arcade game Pac-Man, what name is usually given
0:24:09 > 0:24:11to the characters that chase Pac-Man around a maze?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14We all agree - ghosts.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ghosts, say all three of you,
0:24:16 > 0:24:17is the right answer and a good start.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19OK, Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Podopaediatrics is the study of what?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Podopaediatrics.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35- P-O-D-O? If it's not feet, it should be.- Yes.- Yes.- OK?- Yes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39We'll go for children's feet.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44P-O-D-O. Podiatrists. The right answer. Well done, Eggheads.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47And back to Full House. Second question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The cost of a first-class stamp for a standard letter
0:24:50 > 0:24:56within the UK rose to what price at the end of April 2012?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I could ask if it's a big letter or a small letter,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- because there are different prices. - Ooh, yes, go on, ask him.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06But then you have to have it weighed.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I remember going to the post office and getting a book of 12
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and being shocked.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- 60p.- That's what I'm thinking.- OK.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1860p is the right answer. Well done. OK.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Well, Eggheads, who became famous as the presenting partner,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26both on TV and radio, of Adam Buxton?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's not Karl Pilkington. INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Richard Osman is Pointless.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- So it's Joe Cornish. - Joe Cornish has now gone into...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I think it's a man who's now gone into film direction.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Directed a film called Attack The Block not too long ago.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It's Joe Cornish.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50That's one half of Adam and Joe? Is the right answer.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well done, Eggheads.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56OK, listen, this question on its own could win you £4,000.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You never know. Let's get it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02What is the name of Canadian football's equivalent
0:26:02 > 0:26:05of American football's Super Bowl?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13The Green Cup doesn't sound quite so odd as the Brown Cup.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I thought it was the Green Cup, but...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Why would it be called any of these?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24The logic would be, um, football is played on a green surface
0:26:24 > 0:26:26with a brown football.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Are we going along what it sounds like?!- Listen, here's logic.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I've got green eyes. Why don't we go for the Green Cup?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Most cups are silvery-grey,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so that's all three still in the running.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39What do you think off the top of your head?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I thought Green, but that's just a total guess.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Canada. They have...- My instinct is Green.- Yours is Green.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I'm veering towards Brown, but that's based on nothing.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- I say we go with you.- OK, we're going to go for the Green Cup.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00OK, the Green Cup. Daphne, is it the Green Cup?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02No, it's the Grey Cup.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04So, the Grey Cup.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Why? They were thinking colours, but is it named after someone?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09No, it's named after a chap called Grey.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Who I think was the Governor General at the time.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You didn't get it. The Eggheads knew,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16but it wasn't their question, so if they are to win,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20they need to get this. Staunton is a standardised design for what?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Chess pieces?- Yep.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29That's a standard design for chess pieces, chess sets.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Chess sets, chess pieces. It is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45So sorry, guys. You came so close. You've done so well.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Just looking at the performance in the head-to-heads,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51if it weren't for Shaun The Sheep and undersea nuclear silos,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53those two would been sitting beside you
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and there would be only one Egghead.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- We'd have still... I don't know. - Even so, you might still have lost.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02You never know. But you did really, really well.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Simon might have known that.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Simon, did you know the Grey Cup?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- He did! - FULL HOUSE: Oh!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Why didn't he know nuclear stuff on the seabed...?!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14You could discuss this on the way home.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17But thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's been a lot of fun having you here, wouldn't you agree, Eggheads?
0:28:20 > 0:28:21A round of applause for you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you haven't won the £4,000, which means
0:28:29 > 0:28:31the money rolls on to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a team of our triumphant Olympic watersports medallists
0:28:38 > 0:28:42have the brains to defeat our Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46£5,000 says they don't. Don't miss it. Until then, goodbye.
