0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.'
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.'
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'Question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:38Challenging our quiz goliaths today are the Podium Paddlers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:44I'm not sure our team of brilliant Olympic watersports medallists know,
0:00:44 > 0:00:49but one of the Eggheads took part in the Opening Ceremony of London 2012.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52You remember the bit - we see a film of the Queen
0:00:52 > 0:00:54being escorted to her helicopter by James Bond,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57as it flies over the Olympic stadium.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59We then cut live to pictures,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03and right on cue, a stunt double of the Queen jumps into the night sky
0:01:03 > 0:01:08and - whoosh! - the stuntwoman's Union flag opens to the strains of the James Bond theme.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- We all remember that. Daphne, just tell us how you did it! - Oh! No. State secret.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Well, let's meet the team.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Hi. My name's Alan Campbell and I won a bronze medal in the Men's Single Scull.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hi. My name's Sophie Hosking and I won gold in the Lightweight Women's Double Scull.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Hi. I'm Pete Reed and I won gold in the Men's Coxless Four.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Hi. I'm Heather Stanning and I won gold in the Women's Pair.
0:01:29 > 0:01:36Hi. I'm Jon Schofield and I won bronze medal in the Men's Canoe Sprint 200m Doubles.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Welcome to you, Podium Paddlers. We are so excited!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- We are over the moon to have you here, aren't we, Eggheads? - (ALL) Absolutely!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Did you have any idea, as you were winning those medals,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49the impact it was having on the country at the time?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54There was nothing that could have prepared us for the day after our finals.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We'd trained for four years,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00dedicated a huge amount of time and effort towards those performances,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and that's really all we were focused on, erm...
0:02:03 > 0:02:07but if you'd have told me in the last 250 metres I'd be on Eggheads,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I would never have believed it, so...
0:02:09 > 0:02:15This is living the dream, as such, and we have been treated so well ever since the Olympics,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and, erm, I think it has been a real boost for the country
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and it's been great going into schools and talking to kids
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and showing our medals - our show-and-tell, as such...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28And, you know, just the impact that it's had this summer,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31just on the British public.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Before we start, we're going to chat individually as you quiz.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Have you got the medals with you? Could we have a little peek?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- There we go. - You seem to have a smaller one, Pete, as well. Oh, that's Beijing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Yeah, I won in Beijing as well, in the Men's Four again.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Same race, so it was great to defend my title. I'm pleased to bring that along as well.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53What a lovely sight. Are you allowed to put them round your necks?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Oh, go on.- Don't worry.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Just to intimidate the Eggheads a bit.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Read 'em and weep.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04You mentioned it, Alan. And Sophie, it's the effect on younger people, isn't it,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08when one of you Olympians... And I know you're all doing your bit
0:03:08 > 0:03:11to spread the sporting word to the younger generation.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14If anything means legacy, that's it.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17It's that sense of satisfaction you get of passing things on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yeah, definitely. It's so exciting when you go into schools
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and see the kids' faces light up,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25especially when they get to touch the medal.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I think that is the most important part of the legacy -
0:03:28 > 0:03:32you know, spreading on the message of the Olympic Games
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and also showing the kids that we're not... we're just normal people,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40and they can achieve everything that we have, if they work hard at it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah. Very, very, very hard.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Do you tell them about the training regime?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You don't really talk about that too much, but, er... Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Okay, let's play the game and, as I say, we'll chat as we go along.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56So, Podium Paddlers, every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs
0:03:56 > 0:03:58for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00But if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04The Eggheads have won the last four games
0:04:04 > 0:04:08and that means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12And our first Head-to-Head battle will be on the subject of Science -
0:04:12 > 0:04:16something I suspect quite a few of you know quite a bit about.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Science. Who wants to play?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Sophie, you're definitely the best at science.- All right. I'll do it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Who do we wanna take on? Who do YOU wanna take on?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Um.- It's a hard one.- Take on Daphne.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Really?- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Okay. Okay, great.- Okay, yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- So, Sophie's gonna play against Daphne.- Right!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Okay, let's have Sophie and Daphne, straightaway into the Question Room, so you can't confer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I'm not sure we've got time for this quiz. I've got a million questions about the Olympics, rowing...
0:04:44 > 0:04:48First, how did you get into rowing? It was quite a natural path for you,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51because your dad was a world champion, wasn't he?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Yeah, he was, in 1980, in the Lightweight Men's Eight.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- But I actually started at school, when I was 14.- Uh-huh.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Rowed through school and university, and made it onto the national team by the time I'd graduated.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05So I thought I'd give it a shot, going full-time.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Fantastic. Listen, put in a fantastic effort here.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And we give you the choice as the Challenger. Do you want to go first or second?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Er, I... I'll go first.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Okay. And used to finishing first, I know!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's see how you do. It's Science, first question.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Hydrology is the name given to the science or study of what?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Um, I think I'd like to go with water.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Water - that's rather appropriate, given what we've been discussing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's the right answer. Yes. Well done.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Hydrology. Listen, with all your skills, do you still fall in every now and again?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Um, well, that's a funny story, actually.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Me and my partner Cat fell in on the training camp
0:05:47 > 0:05:49about a week before the Olympic Games.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Um, so that was really embarrassing, but quite funny in hindsight.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- DERMOT LAUGHS - So, you can fall in at any time.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Probably a lucky omen, that one.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well done. You've got the first one on the board.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And Daphne, your first question.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07For what does the letter D stand in the acronym D-A-T,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10DAT, used in sound recording.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Is it double, dulled or digital?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Um, it's digital?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Digital is the right answer. Digital Audio Tape.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Sophie, in what state does the chemical element arsenic exist at room temperature?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Um,...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I think I'm gonna go with liquid.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Arsenic at room temperature...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- ..is solid.- Ah.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Ah. Well, I didn't know that. - It's a light powder,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42that the Victorians fondly named "inheritance powder"
0:06:42 > 0:06:44for obvious reasons!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Very well put.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Okay, well. Solid at room temperature.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51And Daphne, your second question.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56In which part of the body is the trapezoid bone located?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Sorry, Dermot, could you spell it? Slowly?
0:07:01 > 0:07:06T-R-A-P-E-Z-O-I-D
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Oh.- Trapezoid.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- The wrist.- Trapezoid bone is in the wrist.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16So you have a lead and Sophie - you need to get this, then.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yep. Pressure's on. - We know how you react to pressure.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25The radius of the sun is approximately how many times greater than that of the earth's?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'll go with 100.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Right answer. Well done.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah. Pulling back up. Right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38We're into the last 50 metres.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40(ALAN) I was way off!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Okay. Daphne. Who wrote the 1968 book "The Double Helix"
0:07:45 > 0:07:48about the discovery of the structure of DNA?
0:07:54 > 0:07:59It's not Rosalind Franklin. Um, Francis Crick?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- It's not!- It's James Watson?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's James Watson. Whoa!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06You really are...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Do you like coming back when you've lost the lead,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10do you find you've got something to aim at?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12We were down at 500 metres gone,
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- so, yeah, I like coming back from behind.- Right!- Go, Sophs!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20This is the quiz equivalent, we hope. We go to Sudden Death here.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It gets a lot harder, we take away those choices
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and this is some maths for you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27What is 60 per cent of 80?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- 48?- It's correct, of course. Yes. Well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- DERMOT CHUCKLES - And you're in the lead now.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39But Daphne has her first Sudden Death question coming up.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Parus major is the Latin name for which bird -
0:08:43 > 0:08:47the largest member of the tit family, found in the UK?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Oh, dear!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think she's, um, passed me.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Parus major.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Um, I really don't know, Dermot.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Um,...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, I can only think of a Blue Tit.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So that's my answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Parus major is the Latin name for...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11..the Great Tit.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Oh, right! You've won. She's won!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16And I won't say anything about that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes. Great Tit. You didn't get that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Alan just likes saying it. - LAUGHTER
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- I'd proud to be beaten.- So you should be. What a comeback by Sophie
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- You're in the final round. - Great.- You play again when we get to the money part of the game.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38First blood to the Podium Paddlers,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42as Sophie powers into the final round and Daphne exits it -
0:09:42 > 0:09:46a roundabout way of saying you're missing one brain, Eggheads, from the final round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Second Head-to-Head coming up now.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- And this one is Music. Like to play this?- Alan, I reckon you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56You listen to weird music all the time on the ergos.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Unless you guys feel particularly strong?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- No, I think... - Yeah, go on, Alan.- You love it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Go on, then. I'll do it.- Yeah?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Okay. And from the Eggheads? Any of the other four apart from Daphne?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- < Go for Pat. - I'm gonna go for Pat.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Okay, it's Alan and his weird music taking on Pat and his lovely beard.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Two red shirts, anyway. Could you both go to the Question Room?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That's Alan and Pat.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Alan, tell me about the music you listen to while you're training.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Basically, in the summer I've been known to be listening to Christmas music.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35In fact, the last song I listened to before the race was "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney -
0:10:35 > 0:10:38one of the all-time best Christmas tunes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Yeah, it's got a certain ring to it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It's got the children's choir in there. It's got a Beatle as well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49It's got all the top ingredients you need for a classic tune.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I see what you mean!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Paul McCartney's had quite a few Christmas tunes, hasn't he?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57That's right. But I always love his Mull of Kintyre.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Still one of the only Number One songs to have bagpipes in it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I hope that's one of the questions.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Yes, we might be giving something away here. You'd better choose.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd love to go first.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Right. Hoping for weird Christmas songs. Here we go.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Who represented the United Kingdom
0:11:20 > 0:11:24at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 at the age of 76?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It's, er, Engelbert Humperdinck.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Definitely. - Yeah, it is definitely him.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Didn't do very well, though, did he? - No.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Okay. Good start there for Alan.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Pat, what was the title of the Top Ten single for the B52s in 1990?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50These are one of the lesser known bands from Athens, Georgia.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And they had a big hit with Love Shack.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Love Shack is the right answer. Well done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57All right. It's all square and back to Alan.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Who composed the score for the 1968 film Wonderwall,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06which provided the name for the 1990s Oasis track?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Um, I'm thinking it's James Last.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17James Last. Are you a fan of James Last and his orchestra's works?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Yeah, I've heard some of that and he's known for his composer work.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- So, hopefully, that'll be the right one.- Okay.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It's incorrect. No. Do you know, Pat?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Well, I'd be drawn to George Harrison because of the Oasis link.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It was George Harrison, yes.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But, look, that's exactly the point where Sophie stumbled and recovered.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's see what happens here. Pat,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42which heavy-metal band has a mascot called Eddie,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44who appears on their album covers?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52He's a long-running mascot, he's won some polls for heavy-metal band mascots.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54And it's Iron Maiden.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Iron Maiden is the right answer.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Okay. So, work to do, Alan.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Smokey Joe's Cafe is a musical, based on the works of which songwriting duo?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Uh, there's only two names that ring a bell
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and that's Rodgers and Hammerstein.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22So I'm just gonna have a guess and go for Rodgers and Hammerstein.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Okay, Rodgers and Hammerstein, it's not!
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It is... Pat, do you know?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'd be guessing at Leiber and Stoller.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's Leiber and Stoller. Smokey Joe's Cafe.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Bad luck, Alan, but it means you have been beaten by Pat.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Fascinating tussle so far. We've two teams separated by very different disciplines,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48but united by one desire - the will to win!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50And as it stands, it's all square,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Okay, Podium Paddlers, let's see how you do with your next Head-to-Head.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02This one... Well, well, well! It's Sport.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Any of you know anything about that?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Not us.- Not much. - Who'd like to play?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Jon.- I think Jon.- Fingers crossed.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Good man.- I know you can.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Okay, Jon, you've got to pick your Egghead. Barry, Chris or Dave?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I think... I've heard, I've been tipped off, actually.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22from somebody on Twitter, so it's not validated,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24but maybe Chris isn't that strong in Sport.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, it's no bad thing if it's on Twitter, so...
0:14:27 > 0:14:32And he's so good at General Knowledge, that it'd be good to take him out early on.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I can do this. It'd be an honour.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Can I nominate Chris to challenge, please?- Okay.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41And at this moment, Chris is thinking "Curse you, Twitter!"
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- TEAMS LAUGH - Is that true?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Okay. Let's have Jon and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Jon, we should make it clear, you're not a rower. It's very different - kayaking.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Yes. We're facing forwards and we go the correct way.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58DERMOT LAUGHS
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- So you regard yourself as a superior being?- Not at all.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Not at all. - Just tell us about that race.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You were with Liam Heath, your partner.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yeah, I was in the 200m Doubles.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's a new distance to the Olympic programme,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17you're talking a 31- to 34-second race, so it's just...
0:15:17 > 0:15:24- It's a mad dash.- As a spectator, you feel "Oh, please, let it go right."
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Because one mistake and all that training is for nought.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Ah. Yeah, and we felt like that, exactly like that.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It's bringing it all back, but you just...
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Whether you win a medal or not, London 2012 would've been the experience of a lifetime.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40You just want to have done yourself justice.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43We did everything we could've done,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47so we were really happy to come away with a medal, but also, done ourselves proud.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50You certainly did. Do yourself proud right now.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Good luck, Jon. First Sport question, then.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03The swimmer, Adrian Moorhouse, won an Olympic gold medal in which decade?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Um, I'm pretty sure he's not that old, so I'll say the 1980s.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Okay, go for the latest one there.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16And you're right. It was in Seoul, of course. 1988.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Well done.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22And Chris - what is a sportsperson said to do
0:16:22 > 0:16:25if they fail to perform effectively at a decisive moment
0:16:25 > 0:16:27due to nervous tension?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, you wouldn't choke, would ya?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Erm,...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I don't think it's a cough. I think it's a splutter.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We're all spluttering here.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Chris, no, it's the incorrect answer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's the very subject I was just discussing with Jon there.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'll allow Jon to administer the coup de grace.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I'm afraid it's known as choking,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- and that's what we've managed to avoid!- Exactly.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Choke. Well, that's a great start, Jon.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00But... always dangerous, these Eggheads, when they're behind.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So can you go two-nil in the lead? Do your best with this.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09In which sport would competitors be most likely to employ the Seemiller grip?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Ah, I'm not too sure on this.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Um, not sports that I know a particular amount about.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It sounds a kind of a Dutch, or something like that, kind of word.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I think they like their table tennis, so I'll go for table tennis.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Table tennis - I see, on the basis this is someone's name who developed the grip.- Yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I like your reasoning. I hope it's...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It doesn't matter. It's the right answer. Well done!
0:17:40 > 0:17:45You go straight through to the final round if Chris doesn't get this.
0:17:45 > 0:17:53Which national football team did Raymond Domenech manage from 2004 to 2010?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Not Germany. Not France. Down the middle, Switzerland.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Down the middle, out the door. It's wrong.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- HE CHUCKLES - It's France, Chris.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's France. And it's all over!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Whoo! Well, how hard was that, Jon?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Not as hard as I expected. Thanks to whoever tweeted out that advice.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Yes, there's an anonymous tweeter who you're very thankful for,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22for tipping you off about Chris, who had a bad day in the Question Room.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27He won't be in the final round, you will be. Please come back and join your teams.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Well, it's swung back in favour of the Podium Paddlers.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33The Eggheads have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The Podium Paddlers have lost one. How will it shape up for that final round?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Our last Head-to-Head will decide. It's History.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Who wants to play? It's only Pete or Heather available.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- History.- I mean, I'm out. It'd be a joke if I had a go at it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- I'm terrible at history as well.- If you want, I'll sacrifice myself...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You're probably better in General Knowledge, so...
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- What do you want? I'll.. - We'll save you for the next round.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- You'll jump on the grenade for us? - I'll take one for the team.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04The Army doing it again.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09Very decent, Heather. And you can choose from Barry or Dave.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I think I'm gonna take on Dave. - How do you feel about that, Dave?
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Excellent. Well, you know, the first Team GB gold medallist of 2012,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21and I'm in a Question Room with her. Well, life does not get any better.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Well said.- Thanks.- Hear, hear. Dave and Heather into the Question Room.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, Heather, great to have you here. Dave put it so well.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The honour of having you here, the lift you gave to the nation.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38I remember that point in the Olympics when the muttering was just beginning to start,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41saying "How are we gonna do in these Olympics?"
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Were you aware of any of that, you and Helen, as you prepared for the race?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We were aware of it, but tried to block it off.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51We'd stopped watching the TV the day before,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55because our race was getting closer and we still hadn't won a gold
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and we didn't want extra pressure.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01And when you did win, did you think "Crikey, what have we achieved?"
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I suppose, soon as you got out, when everyone fell upon you, you knew.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10When we crossed the line, I remember looking at the crowd, thinking "Oh, goodness, what have we just done?"
0:20:10 > 0:20:13You could see all the cameramen down the side of the lake
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and that's when it dawned on us what we'd achieved.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Fantastic, but listen, it's History.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- First or second for you, Heather? - I'm gonna go first, please.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Best of luck. First question for you, and here it is.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31According to a World War Two propaganda poster,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34what might loose lips do?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I'm gonna take a complete guess at this, but, um...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Loose lips is something to do with chattering,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so I'm gonna go with provide tips.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It is to do with that, but it's sink ships.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53"Loose lips sink ships."
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Okay, well, it's early days.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Dave, which coastal area is said to be the site
0:20:58 > 0:21:01of Francis Drake's famous game of bowls
0:21:01 > 0:21:04before he sailed to engage with the Spanish Armada?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12I'd struggle on Beachy Head having a game of bowls, personally!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Lizard Point? No. It's Plymouth Hoe.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Bet Pete knows as well. Naval man.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Absolutely. Plymouth Hoe. - Plymouth Hoe is correct.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Of course it is. Francis Drake and his game of bowls.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Sorry, putting you on the spot, Pete.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Let's get you off the mark, Heather.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, is believed to have become, in 1896,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36the first person to be charged with which offence?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Goodness. Um,... I'm ruling out speeding,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46because in 1896, if someone's done for speeding...
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I'm gonna have to go with... libel?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Walter Arnold, of East Peckham in Kent,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54was charged with...
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- It IS speeding!- Oh, no!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Speeding. 1896.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03So, not gone your way so far. You've gotta hope Dave doesn't get this.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The San Francisco Peace Treaty, signed in 1951,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10is also known as the Treaty of Peace with which country?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'd have to go Japan in this case
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- because I'm just thinking the... - HE MISPRONOUNCES WORD
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The Pacific. So I'll go Japan.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26It is the right answer. 1951. The Treaty of Peace with Japan.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Which means, Heather, bad luck.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Nothing there for you, but I know what you athletes are like.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You dust yourself down and get back up again.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I feel terrible, Dermot, you know.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38One of our national treasures. I feel bad now.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I'm sure your apologies are accepted but you're only doing what comes naturally to you, Dave.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Programmed to quiz.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50It means you won't be in the final round, Heather. Please come back and join your teams.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Dave, Dave, Dave. How could you?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I don't know. I'm still there. - National treasure!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I know. It's terrible.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- Hanging my head in shame. - Well, so you should.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Well, it's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Those who lost your Head-to-Heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Alan and Heather from the Podium Paddlers
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Sophie, Peter and Jon, you're playing to win the Podium Paddlers £5,000.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Dave, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:23:28 > 0:23:30the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35They are all General Knowledge, so anything can come up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And the big difference now is you are allowed to confer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43So the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You get to choose. Do you want to go first or second?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I think we'd like to go first, please.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Winners on the water, can you be winners against the Eggheads?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Let's hope you can. First question, Podium Paddlers, is this -
0:23:58 > 0:24:01fell running is the sport of running on what?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Hills.- I think everyone's happy. I've even done this myself.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Er, it's definitely running on hills.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Indeed, and you know it's the right answer, then. Good start.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Hills, there. Eggheads -
0:24:15 > 0:24:19what is one said to do to one's lid when going into a rage?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Flip.- I would've said that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Are you flipping your lid?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28As long as we don't choke, we think we will flip our lid.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Ooh!
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Sorry, Chris.- Chris is going to have words with you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'll leave it between you boys.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Flip is the right answer. It's all square.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Second question coming your way, Podium Paddlers.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48In late 2011, Michael D Higgins became President of which country?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Right, team, I don't know.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Do either of you know?- I'd plump for Canada.- I'd say Canada as well.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'd punt at Canada, but only because of the initial.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04And I know they sort of like the initial in the middle.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- I spend a lot of time in New Zealand - They've got a female...
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- I think they have got a woman. - It isn't Ireland. I think Canada.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Shall we go with it?- Canada.- Yeah?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Okay. That's enough for us. Fingers crossed behind us.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21We'll go for Canada, please.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Michael D Higgins became President of...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- ..Ireland.- Oh.- Oh.- Ireland.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Remember Sophie's recovery from a mistake on her second question.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Let's see how this pans out.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Eggheads - what type of creature was World Cup Willie,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40the mascot of the 1966 World Cup?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Lion...- What type of creature was World Cup Willie,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48the mascot of the 1966 World Cup?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I got confused with Pickles,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52but yeah, it's a lion.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- Of those three, I'm sure.- Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57World Cup Willie was the old British lion.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00And very well he did, indeed, in '66.
0:26:00 > 0:26:041966 and it was a lion. It's the right answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Well done. Well, I say well done. I'm not very pleased about that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11It means you've got to get this, Podium Paddlers. Best of luck.
0:26:11 > 0:26:18Which national newspaper has had a daily opinion column called Lex since 1945?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Guys, I don't know,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31but there must be some sort of clue in the question somewhere.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Or... which is the oldest?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I think I might have come across it in the Daily Telegraph.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41But the other two, I'm less likely to have...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- You think it's one of the others? - Yeah, I might have seen it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50It's not the Financial Times, is it, because it's an opinion column?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- No, it could still be in there. - Really? Oh.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- I wish I knew.- That'd be nice. - Either of you have a gut?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I wanna say... The Observer, but I don't really know why.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I'd probably go Observer or Financial Times.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08You're the Captain, Pete.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Okay, well, this is gonna be a guess, then.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I wonder if they know behind us, if they're nodding.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17And... I'll go for the Observer.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Okay. The Observer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24It's not The Observer. It's incorrect. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I think it's The Telegraph. Daily Telegraph.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- No! It's the Financial Times. - Didn't know that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, they didn't know it either, but it wasn't their question.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36And I'm afraid that means, Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Listen, guys, bad luck on that, but in all honesty,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46it was just great to see you here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It was fantastic to talk and hear all those tales.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It was even Stevens until the final round.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56A lot of teams don't achieve that, so thank you very much for doing it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Congratulations for whatever else you do in your careers
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and I know you've got so much more to achieve.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Thank you so much, from me and the Eggheads, and everybody watching,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08for all the joy you've brought us and the joy and success to come.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Thank you very much indeed for playing Celebrity Eggheads. - (TEAM) Thank you!
0:28:11 > 0:28:16But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20You haven't won the £5,000 so that rolls over to our next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:29And join us next time to see if a team of sporting greats, captained by football legend Rodney Marsh,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33have the brains to defeat our Eggheads. £6,000 says they don't.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Until then, goodbye.
