0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:34against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And taking on the awesome Eggheads today
0:00:37 > 0:00:40are The Ambridge Academicals.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I'd just like to state for the record
0:00:42 > 0:00:47that I don't write the awful puns that often feature in these celebrity introductions.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Today I've said no to any bad jokes or terrible one-liners,
0:00:51 > 0:00:57so this is a nice, straightforward welcome to a team from that well-loved radio drama, The Archers.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Let's hope they hit the quizzing bull's-eye.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04For goodness sake! Let's meet them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08My name is Charles Collingwood. I've played Brian Aldridge for 37 years.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I have three "O" levels and an RSA in Typing.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Hi, my name is Charlotte Martin and I play Susan Carter. I've played her for about 30 years.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22And I have a PhD in Psychology from the University of Birmingham.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hello, my name's Andrew Wincott and I play Adam Macy.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I have played him for almost ten years now.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I have a degree from Oxford in English Language and Literature
0:01:33 > 0:01:35and a PGCE in English and Humanities.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Hello, I'm Rachel Atkins and I play Vicky Tucker.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44I've played her for the last three years and I've got a BA in Acting from Cardiff.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50Hello, my name's Tim Bentinck. I play David Archer. I've been playing him for 30 years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55And I have a BA from the University of East Anglia in History of Art.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Welcome to you, Ambridge Academicals.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03You've been trying to scare the Eggheads there, displaying all your qualifications.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Charles, particularly terrified by those "O" levels.- Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- I don't want to show off, but three "O" levels over a lifetime is sensational.- Especially in Woodwork.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18In Woodwork, yes. I've got no way of showing my prowess today, but I will in every other respect.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Wait till you see the rest of my team. They are clever.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Tell me about Ambridge. Do you have a pub quiz in The Bull?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yeah, we do, don't we?
0:02:28 > 0:02:33My character rarely goes because he's too rich and doesn't bother with things like that,
0:02:33 > 0:02:39- but I'm sure these people go. You go to The Bull all the time, don't you?- Yes, definitely.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- The Bull's tremendous.- OK, let's start playing and see how you do.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money will roll over.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Ambridge Academicals, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:57 > 0:03:02which means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08That's fired you up. Let's get on with our first head-to-head where you try and knock an Egghead out,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11so they can't play in the final round,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and we start with Science.
0:03:13 > 0:03:20- Who would like to play the Science round?- Shall we get Tim up first? - All right.- Go on, Tim.- I'm tallest.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- I think we'll let Tim play. - Because you're tallest(!)
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That's a good reason!
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Tim, with your team-mates you choose an Egghead to play and try and knock them out.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38I'm going to choose Judith simply because our families have history. It goes back to 1689.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Keppel took on Bentinck then
0:03:41 > 0:03:46and a certain Arnold Joost van Keppel got rid of my ancestor Hans Willem Bentinck
0:03:46 > 0:03:50for the favours of William III, so I think it's revenge time, Judith.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Oh, right, yes. That's quite true.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Fantastic. Ancient scores will be settled.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Let's have Tim and Judith into the question room, please.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07So, Tim, just remind me of that ancestor of yours that was duffed up by one of Judith's.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yes, my ancestor's name was Hans Willem Bentinck
0:04:10 > 0:04:16and he came over with William of Orange for the Glorious Revolution of 1689. He was his closest adviser.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21And then along came this good-looking young man called Arnold Joost van Keppel
0:04:21 > 0:04:24who is Judith's ancestor
0:04:24 > 0:04:28and he ousted him from the King's favour, so it's payback time.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Was there a fight? What happened then?- No, he just disappeared really from the court,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38and brooded, I think, for the rest of his life.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Tell us... You volunteered for Science because you're tall. Would you like to go first or second?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Oh, I'll go second, I think.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52You're starting, Judith, and this is your question then.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57In mathematics, which term is used for a whole number, rather than a fraction?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I think that's an integer.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07- You're correct, well done. - Thank goodness for that!- Good start.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11OK, Tim, the term "coeliac" refers to which part of the human body?
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Well, a coeliac can't eat bread or wheat,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23so presumably, that isn't to do with the spine
0:05:23 > 0:05:27and wouldn't affect the heart. It means you get a tummy upset.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I wish I'd gone first because I knew "integer". Abdomen.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36You know that too. That's the right answer. Well done, Tim. Great stuff.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41All right, Judith, what is the chemical symbol for the element "zinc"?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I absolutely loathe the Periodic Table.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's my nemesis.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I think it's "Zn".- "Zn"... - Please let it be "Zn".
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- OK, and the answer is "Zn". It's correct.- Thank God for that!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I really didn't think it was. - You have a lead.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06But Tim has to face his second question which is this - what type of bird is a linnet?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh, heavens, I'm hopeless on birds.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16A linnet is small, so it's probably not a hawk.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I think it's... I think it's a finch.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You just switched at the last minute there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- I heard you forming the "th", but you've got the right answer.- Yes!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30We have a third question each now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36This is Judith's. The botanical term "calyx" is the collective name for which parts of a flower?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The calyx? Oh, God...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I'm always learning these things. I can't get them into my head.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I think it's the stigmas.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK, the stigmas...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Barry, you look upset! - Oh, no, Barry!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'm afraid it's the wrong answer. - He looks really upset.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It's like you've been listening to The Archers
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- and somebody's turned your radio off.- What is it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- What is it, Barry?- It's the sepal. - It's the sepals.- Oh, dear.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Right, Tim,
0:07:11 > 0:07:17roughly how long did Neil Armstrong spend walking on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I think probably more than three.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30I think probably 150 sounds...
0:07:31 > 0:07:356, 12... Two hours? No, 25.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- OK, 25 minutes?- Yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Is vengeance yours? No, it's not 25 minutes. It is the long one.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- 150?- Two and a half hours, yeah, 150 minutes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51That means, Tim, to explain to you, we go to Sudden Death and take away those options.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57If you do need to guess, it's going to be harder because we've got nothing there to offer you.
0:07:57 > 0:08:04Let's try it out with Judith. Maxwell Montes is the tallest mountain range on which planet?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, I don't know. Mars.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK, Mars... Other Eggheads?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Venus.- Venus.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK, nothing there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Another chance. How many will you get, Tim?
0:08:16 > 0:08:22In 2012, Liu Yang became the first female astronaut from which country?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, I don't think Japan has got a space programme.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Korea probably has, but it's more likely to be China.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Is that your answer, Tim?- Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- China is correct!- Yes!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41OK, now the quizzing's over, let the fisticuffs start.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43LAUGHTER
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Well done, Tim. You're in the final round. No place for Judith.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Vengeance is yours. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55A storming start for the Ambridge Academicals and Tim in particular.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59It means the Eggheads are missing one brain from the final round.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05We've only played one round, so we'll play another one quickly and this one is History.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Who'd like to play this? Not Tim.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Anyone else. History. - Give it a go. Go on.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Do it for the Bentincks. - All right, I'll give it a go.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21- Andrew Wincott.- Andrew, you stay there while you choose your Egghead, your Egghead of choice.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It can't be Judith, so any of the boys.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I don't know. Dave. Why not Dave? Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Let's have Andrew and Dave into the question room, please.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34You've got the choice. Do you want to go first or second?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37For variety, I'll go first, Dermot, thanks.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's History. First question to you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49On April the 30th of which year did Saigon fall to North Vietnamese troops?
0:09:53 > 0:09:59The Vietnam War was being fought primarily through the '60s,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02but it did not end, I would have thought, till the '70s,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05so I'll say 1975.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08OK, 1975 for the fall of Saigon...
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Correct answer. Very good start, Andrew.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18OK, Dave, Henry I, who was King of England in the early 12th century, was a member of which royal house?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24The first is a Plantagenet.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, Dave, maybe dived in there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Norman.- Norman.- Norman.- Sorry. - The first Henry.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32That's what you wanted, Andrew.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36A slip-up there. Can you go two-nil up? Second question.
0:10:36 > 0:10:43The site of the Battle of Marston Moor, fought in 1644, is within ten miles of which city?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Tricky one, um...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I don't know why,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53but I think that that might have happened
0:10:53 > 0:10:56more in the Midlands than in the north.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I probably am completely wrong. I will try Leicester.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05And it is incorrect. I will ask Barry.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- It's just outside York. - It's York, Andrew. York.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12A chance for Dave to get in the game.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18Dave, in the 1950s, the philosopher Bertrand Russell was a founder member of which organisation?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I hope that's the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29CND, yes, it is. You are back in it, so it's all square.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Third question each.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Robert FitzRoy, who headed up the forerunner of the Met Office,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39is also remembered as the captain of which ship?
0:11:42 > 0:11:48I wouldn't have thought it would be the HMS Victory or the Bounty,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52so I will try HMS Beagle.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55You know your ships. It's the right answer.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The Beagle, of course, Dave, carrying...?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Charles Darwin.- Yeah. OK.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02And this is your question.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Whose first husband was Earl Winfield Spencer Junior, a pilot in the US Navy?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'm going Wallis Simpson.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You're right to do so, yes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Recovered well from that first question slip.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It takes us into Sudden Death again.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Andrew, the secret Treaty of London in April 1915 paved the way
0:12:27 > 0:12:32for which country's entry into World War One the following month?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The United States of America.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40No, it's not. Good guess, but not that. Anyone know? Dave?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- No, I wouldn't know. - Other Eggheads?- Italy.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Italy is the answer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:51So, Dave, on which Caribbean island was the pioneering 19th century nurse Mary Seacole born?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I hope that's Jamaica or else I'm in big trouble. Jamaica.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's right. You're not in trouble.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Jamaica is correct,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01so you're in the final round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Very bad luck, Andrew. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Both teams have lost one brain from the final round. And our next subject is Film & Television.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I wonder. Who wants to play this?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Who feels confident they can do Films and TV?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Are you going to go, Rachel? Go on, give it a go.- Go on, Rachel.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, OK, OK.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK, yes, Rachel volunteering very willingly there(!)
0:13:27 > 0:13:34- Indeed!- Pick your Egghead then. Judith and Dave have played, so you can have Kevin, Pat or Barry.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Um...Pat.- OK, Pat.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42It's Film & Television and our contestants are Rachel and Pat. Into the question room, please.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Rachel... Can I call you Vicky?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- AS VICKY: You can if you like. - Lovely. It's just great to hear it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I want to know more about the recording process.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Obviously, you rehearse. Do you have to learn any lines?
0:13:56 > 0:14:02No, we have a read-through, then we read it through on mic and we're told where to move around, then we go.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05OK, and what about Film and TV?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Given you're on radio, do you watch much TV?- None.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- OK.- Yeah.- Well, maybe you get out to see a film every now and again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Let's put it to the test. Do you want to go first or second?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Um...I'll go first.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26OK. And here it comes. Best of luck with it, Rachel.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32In 2011, which comedian took part in panel shows for 24 hours non-stop in aid of Comic Relief?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Eddie Izzard jogged everywhere. He did lots of marathons.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think it's John Bishop. I think.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48- David Walliams did the non-stop panel shows.- Oh! - Not John Bishop.- Sorry.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's David Walliams.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Let's see how Pat does.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58In the TV sitcom Grandma's House, which actress played Grandma?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'm guessing here, I'm afraid.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I haven't watched the programme. I'll go with Rebecca Front.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10OK, Rebecca Front.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- Rachel knows!- It's Linda Bassett! - Linda Bassett.- I knew that one.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, that's good news for Rachel.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21All square as we go to a second question each.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27In 2011, Jamie Foreman joined the EastEnders cast as which character?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Right. Um...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I don't think he was a Mitchell.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I don't know who Andrew Cotton is. I've heard of Derek Branning.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Derek Branning? It's right! - Yes! Got one right!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It gives you a slim lead.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Pat faces his second question.
0:15:48 > 0:15:55In which James Bond film does Yaphet Kotto play the villain, Dr Kananga?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This is, I think, early '70s.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08All sorts of voodoo-related activities and alligators. It's Live and Let Die.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It is Live and Let Die. All right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Staying very close to each other
0:16:14 > 0:16:16in terms of scores.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22Rachel, what are the first names of the Farrelly brothers, whose films include Dumb and Dumber?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I have never seen Dumb and Dumber.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Farrelly brothers.- Yes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I'll go for Dougie and Alec, but I really...
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- don't know.- OK, Dougie and Alec Farrelly, you think. It's not.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I heard a sigh from some of the other Ambridge Academicals.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48We think it's Bobby and Peter.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- It's Bobby and Peter.- Sorry!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It means Pat has a chance
0:16:54 > 0:16:57of winning the round here.
0:16:57 > 0:17:05Who starred as the hostage negotiator Dominic King in the TV drama Kidnap and Ransom?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13I can remember Trevor Eve playing a trade like that on TV.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19Em, I'm not sure I can remember James Nesbitt or Robson Green.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So I think it's Trevor Eve.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24How could you, Pat?! It's right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Oh, no, Rachel. Bad luck.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34You're not in the final round. Would you both, please, come back and rejoin your teams?
0:17:34 > 0:17:42As it stands, the Ambridge Academicals have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48It could be all-square in that final round if they can knock out an Egghead on Arts and Books.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Charles or Charlotte?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Well, I have no hesitation
0:17:55 > 0:18:00in announcing the Doctor here will play Arts and Books.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07- And I pity the Egghead who takes her on.- Are you in character, Charles, as a cad?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- If you like, yeah.- Always!
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- It's you then, Charlotte?- It is. I'm afraid so.- And who will you choose from the remaining Eggheads?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's Barry or Kevin.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- Kevin, please. - OK, let's have Charlotte and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:18:24 > 0:18:31Charlotte, good to have you here. As Charles alluded to, you are actually a psychologist.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- I am, yes. A research psychologist. - So when you're not playing Susan, do you practise?
0:18:36 > 0:18:42Yeah. I work on research projects, mainly with people who have psychosis.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46How does that work with The Archers? Can you fit around the schedule?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Yes. We only record the programme six days a month.
0:18:50 > 0:18:57It obviously varies as to how many episodes you're in, so I have very understanding bosses,
0:18:57 > 0:19:02who are Archers fans, so they allow me to have a bit of time out.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I'm sure that goes into the category of "not a lot of people knew that".
0:19:06 > 0:19:10OK, do you want to go first or second in the Arts and Books round?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- A critical one. - I would like to go first, please.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20OK, good luck. First question. In watercolour painting,
0:19:20 > 0:19:26what term is used to refer to a flat layer of very diluted colour laid across the paper?
0:19:29 > 0:19:36OK. Well, I don't think it's gush. That would be quite an interesting technique,
0:19:36 > 0:19:41but I don't think it is. Or splash. So I'm going to go with wash.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Yes, it's the right answer. Well done. And, Kevin,
0:19:45 > 0:19:51the name Capodimonte is most closely associated with decorative art items made from which material?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56From southern Italy, it's porcelain.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Porcelain is correct, Kevin.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Charlotte, second question.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07Which association bestows the annual Frost Medal for distinguished lifetime achievement?
0:20:13 > 0:20:19I don't know why, but I think I might go with the Poetry Society of America.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- It is the right answer. Well done!- Good.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25OK, Kevin,
0:20:25 > 0:20:31which British artist appeared on Blue Peter in August, 2012, and showed how to make his famous works?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Needless to say, this passed me by completely.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I haven't got the faintest.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45On the basis that he's the bigger name and the artworks he makes
0:20:45 > 0:20:50take a bit of putting together, I'll have to go with Damien Hirst,
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- but I'm a bit worried about that. - It is the right answer, Kevin.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58So it stays all-square.
0:20:58 > 0:21:06Charlotte going really well. This question addresses the actor side of you and it is this:
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Vincentio, the Duke of Vienna, is a major character in which Shakespeare play?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's not The Tempest.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Winter's Tale...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Measure For Measure...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I'll go for Measure For Measure.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30OK. I'm just looking at your colleagues here, their little faces.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36And they're all lit up because it's the right answer! Measure For Measure.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38OK, Kevin's got some work to do.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44Kevin, whose gravestone in Drumcliffe in County Sligo in Ireland
0:21:44 > 0:21:50is marked by the words, "Cast a cold eye on life, on death, horseman, pass by!"?
0:21:53 > 0:21:59No point beating about the bush. I've stood and looked at it. WB Yeats.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03It is the right answer. WB Yeats.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05And again we go to sudden death.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Let's get straight on with it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12No choices to look at. Who wrote the 2010 thriller The Cobra,
0:22:12 > 0:22:19which sees the American President task a retired CIA official with destroying the global cocaine trade?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Oh, gosh, it's not my kind of literature, unfortunately.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26A stab in the dark.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Dick Francis, who writes about horses, doesn't he?- Thrillers.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35I think his son has taken up the reins, so to speak.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41It is not. Can anyone tell me? It's Freddie Forsyth! Frederick Forsyth.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43OK.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Kevin, which metaphysical poet, who started as a Roman Catholic, became an Anglican priest
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and was made Dean of St Paul's in 1621?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- John Donne.- The dates normally do for you with Kevin.
0:22:56 > 0:23:001621, John Donne is the correct answer, Kevin.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02That sees you through,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06but really well played, Charlotte. But no place in the final round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14This is what we've been playing towards - the final round on general knowledge.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17But those of you who lost
0:23:17 > 0:23:23won't be allowed to take part so Charlotte, Andrew and Rachel from the Ambridge Academicals
0:23:23 > 0:23:27and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Charles and Tim, you're playing to win £8,000.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I ask you three questions in turn,
0:23:41 > 0:23:48but the questions are general knowledge and you can confer, which makes Tim's victory very important.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'll say!
0:23:51 > 0:23:56So, Ambridge Academicals, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Charles and Tim, do you want to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Best of luck. First question:
0:24:07 > 0:24:11what did the town of Staines add to its name in 2012?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'm absolutely certain I know this.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20We are actually very clever.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23And we're major farmers, you know.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26We're top farmers, we are.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- It's Upon-Thames. They wanted to gentrify themselves.- Definitely.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- So that's your answer.- It is. - After the lecture.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38If you're American, it almost rhymes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Upon-Thames is the right answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44All right. Eggheads,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46wonga is a slang term for what?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Wonga is a slang term for what?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- I think that's money. - Money, yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58We're pretty certain on this. Money.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59That's right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Second question, Academicals.
0:25:01 > 0:25:09The Frenchman Teddy Tamgho came to fame as a leading name in which athletics event?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Tamgho.- Do you have a date?- No.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23The Frenchman Teddy Tamgho came to fame as a leading name in which athletics event?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28They're good at triple jump. Not at 400m hurdles or discus, traditionally.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I would have thought a Frenchman with a big frisbee...
0:25:32 > 0:25:38- And they jump a lot, the French. They leap from one place to another.- They leap.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I am the captain and I say the answer is triple jump.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It is! Triple jump is the right answer!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- All right.- Game on.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57It really is game on. Eggheads, which member of the cast of Gavin and Stacey played Judy
0:25:57 > 0:26:00in the 2003 film Love, Actually?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Joanna Page was in Love, Actually, wasn't she?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- I've seen her in it.- I've not seen the film.- I'm certain it's her.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I saw the film, but can't remember.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17We believe it's Joanna Page.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23- Joanna Page. Have you seen it? - I have.- It is the right answer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Two all. Back to these two.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Excuse me?!
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- We're Charles and Timothy! - The Ambridge Academicals.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We have names, you know, Dermot. "Back to these two"(!)
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Here you go.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Can you tell me this? The Sancta Camisa, said to be the veil of the Virgin Mary,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46is kept in which European cathedral?
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- It is unlikely to be in a German cathedral.- Correct.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's less likely to be in Chartres.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00It's more likely to be in Florence.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- I've worked in Florence... - Yeah, go. Florence, probably.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I think we have agreed that we think it's Florence.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12But it could be either of the other two.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- However, we've agreed.- We're covering ourselves.- You have to choose one.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Florence.- OK, Florence.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's Chartres.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25So, Eggheads, a chance to win it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:32The USA's historic triangle of colonial communities consists of Jamestown, Yorktown and which other?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Williamsburg.- Yeah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43They're altogether in the great state of Virginia. It's Williamsburg.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Williamsburg is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, what a great day's quizzing that has been.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59It's been absolutely fantastic. Some great head to head battles.
0:27:59 > 0:28:06That final round, just listening to you two - Charles and Timothy - was so much fun,
0:28:06 > 0:28:12but the main thing has been hearing all about The Archers. We feel so privileged to have you here
0:28:12 > 0:28:17to tell us about what goes on behind the scenes. Thank you very much.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23We very much appreciate it. And to Charlotte, Andrew and Rachel, sitting in the Question Room.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32You haven't won the £8,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:43Join us next time for a team of Paralympians from London 2012 trying to defeat our Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
