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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39And, challenging our quiz Goliaths today, are the Para-Rangers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team of some of our brilliant athletes
0:00:41 > 0:00:44from Paralympics GB won't be aware of this,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48but it isn't only them who have very stringent training routines.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Because the Eggheads' regime sees them put through their paces
0:00:51 > 0:00:54on a daily basis by a real tyrant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57She controls what they eat, gives them subjects to revise
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and shouts at them and beats them if they get a question wrong.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The Eggheads call her the sarge, but you might know her as Daphne.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's meet the challengers.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi. My name's Mark Colbourne and I'm a paracyclist
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and I won two silver medals and also a gold medal
0:01:15 > 0:01:17at the London 2012 Paralympics.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hello. I'm Dani Brown and I'm a double gold medallist
0:01:20 > 0:01:22in Paralympic archery.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hi. I'm Charlotte Henshaw and I'm a silver medallist
0:01:25 > 0:01:28in the 100m breaststroke at this year's Paralympic Games.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'm David Wetherill, also a Paralympian at this year's games.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I'm a table tennis player. I didn't win a medal but I'm hoping
0:01:33 > 0:01:36to join these guys in the medal club in four years' time.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hi. I'm Liz Johnson and after my performance this summer,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I now have a complete set of Paralympic medals for the 100 metres breaststroke.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Welcome to you, Para-Rangers. Fantastic to see you,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and we will relive some of the glories you brought to us
0:01:48 > 0:01:52in that summer of 2012 and in other Paralympics as we quiz.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55But I want to say, first of all, congratulations on the team name.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We're loving that, aren't we, Eggheads? The Para-Rangers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Get it?- Yes. - Just explain it there to Kevin.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05He's been working it out bit by bit. He's had Pat explain it to him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09So tell me about this. This is a whole different discipline for you,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11so how have you prepared for it, Mark?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15For me, obviously, having an extensive background
0:02:15 > 0:02:17in business for years and years.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So I'm hoping that my age and my knowledge
0:02:19 > 0:02:21will hopefully help us through today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26OK, and I know that all athletes prepare meticulously for the challenges ahead.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Have you done the same for the Eggheads? Have you looked at their strengths and weaknesses?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Most definitely.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Right, good lying.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK. Listen, best of luck, Para-Rangers.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:39 > 0:02:42for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46the prize money will roll over to the next show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, Para-Rangers, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:02:49 > 0:02:54so that means £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- You love a challenge, don't you? - We do.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57OK. Well, it is going to be a challenge.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Our first head-to-head battle is going to be on the subject of Music.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Which of the Para-Rangers wants to start us off?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Not me.- Not me.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- I guess that's me then, is it? - Yeah.- OK. I will.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Charlotte, good for you. Which Egghead will you take on?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Any of those fabulous five.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16- What do you think?- I don't know.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- It was Daphne, wasn't it?- Was it?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- OK, Daphne.- Daphne, OK.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25To start us off then, it's going to be Charlotte and Daphne.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Into the Question Room, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Charlotte, fantastic to have you here. We really appreciate you all taking on the Eggheads.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I know you've still got a pretty busy schedule, I suspect.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- And are you aiming for 2016? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44At the moment it's just a slow curve back up to full training.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- But hopefully I've still got another four years left in me.- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50And have you got a gold in you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well, I just need to grow my fingernails
0:03:52 > 0:03:56if we're going to go by 2012 cos it was 0.03 off the gold,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59so I'll grow my nails and hopefully next time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00It was better than 2008, wasn't it?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04You finished in that awful position of fourth, didn't you? No podium.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08No, and I think that was what really drove me on to get to those medals.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12So, in a weird way, I'm glad I had that fourth-place experience,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14cos it's really made me the athlete I am now.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17OK. Well, we're going to drive you on now in this round.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's Music and you can choose. Do you want to go first or second?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I'd like to go first, please.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Best of luck, Charlotte. - Thank you.- First question on Music and this is it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Jessie J was born and grew up in which English city?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I think she was born and raised in London.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I actually saw her last year. She's a London girl.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46She is. Well done and a good start. It's what we want.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And, Daphne, "Take a look at her hair, it's real,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52"And if you don't believe what I say, just feel,"
0:04:52 > 0:04:54are words from which Cliff Richard song?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I think that dates back to my era. Living Doll?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It is Living Doll, yes. Well done.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's all square and, Charlotte, second question.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Which boy's name is the first word of the traditional song
0:05:09 > 0:05:14that features the recurring phrase, "Row the boat ashore, hallelujah"?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I sung that many times when I was a little kid. It's Michael.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yes, it is. Michael, row the boat ashore. Fantastic.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So you have two out of two.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30And, Daphne, the libretto for the first performance of the opera Aida
0:05:30 > 0:05:31was in which language?
0:05:35 > 0:05:41Well, I assume because it's by Verdi it was in Italian.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Yes, it is. Well done, Daphne.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Sorry.- It's all right. Still a lot of quizzing to go.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Charlotte, third question. Could win you the round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Drummer Neil Primrose and lead guitarist Andy Dunlop
0:05:54 > 0:05:57were founder members of which Scottish band?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, I know Travis was Scottish and I've never heard of the other two.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08So, I'll go with Travis.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, I can assure you they're all Scottish,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14but you've got the right one. It's Travis. Well done.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Three out of three.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Feeling any pressure, Daphne?- Yep.- Yep?- Lots.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21OK, you've got to get this then.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Who formed the 1960s band Blues Incorporated,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27with whom Charlie Watts, Mick Jagger, Paul Jones,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and other future stars performed? Was it...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36No idea.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I really don't know.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42And I've got nothing to guess with.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Alexis Korner?- Alexis Korner.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It is the right answer, Daphne. Alexis Korner.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm so sorry.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's all right, Daphne. It's the name of the game.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01So all square. Both of you
0:07:01 > 0:07:03with an unblemished record after three questions.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So, Charlotte, we go to Sudden Death. This is without choices.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Just got to hear the answer from you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11"When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13"you can bet that he's doing it for some doll,"
0:07:13 > 0:07:16is a line from a song in which musical?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I should know this. I'm a huge musicals fan.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I would take a hint from the lyrics and I'd guess Guys And Dolls?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28It's in there, well done. Fantastic.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30OK. Well, Daphne.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34If You Can't Stand The Heat and My Camera Never Lies
0:07:34 > 0:07:38were UK hit singles in the 1980s for which Eurovision-winning British act?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Oh, dear.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I know there's two of them and I can only remember one,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46so Bucks Fizz?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Were you thinking of Brotherhood of Man as well?- Oh, yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Unfortunately, it is Bucks Fizz.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55LAUGHING
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Oh, no. If you'd remembered them both, you would have gone for the other one.- I would.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Yeah, these are Bucks Fizz songs. You got it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That's a terrible pity.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06All right, Charlotte. You keep that pressure up.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Really putting it to Daphne here.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12She's been on the back foot with the last two answers. Here you go.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Which group released the album Plastic Beach in 2010?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I have no idea.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'll take a guess. I'll go with...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30..Kings of Leon. I know it's not that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Hey, always better to have a guess than pass. Kings of Leon it isn't.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Gorillaz. It's Gorillaz, Charlotte.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39OK. Well, a chance for Daphne.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43The conductor Gustavo Dudamel was born in which country?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Venezuela?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I'm sick to the pit of my stomach.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It is the right answer.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00I think he started the Venezuelan Youth Orchestra, didn't he?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Yeah, yeah.- Yes. - Bad luck, Charlotte.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- It's all right.- That was a brilliant performance, well into Sudden Death.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09but Daphne shaded it, so it means you won't be in the final round.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Para-Rangers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Eggheads all there but very, very early days.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20And we move on to our second head-to-head.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's Film and Television. Who wants to play?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25What do you want to do?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I'll do Geography. OK.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- What do you want to do, Dani? - History.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- And you?- Science or Sport.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I'll have to do it, will I? - Go for it, Johnson.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- We watch a lot of films.- If I get it wrong...- That's all right.- OK.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40OK. Liz, right. And choose an Egghead.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It can be any of the four there after Daphne.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Which Egghead? The new guy?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I'll go with Dave.- Dave, OK.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Let's have Liz and Dave into the Question Room
0:09:51 > 0:09:53to play Film and Television.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57So, Liz, Paralympic medals. What was it?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Silver 2004, then you went gold in Beijing
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and then bronze in 2012.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yeah, I suppose every cloud has a silver lining.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08What are you going for in 2016?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11There'll have to be platinum if you want something different.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I think I'm going to try and go back to gold.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Yeah.- I like symmetry. - Oh, yes. I see, yes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18What about that race in 2012?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm always wondering about swimmers.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23How aware can you be of the other lanes?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26In breaststroke, which is what Charlotte and I swim,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- you can't be very aware because you're looking forward.- Yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32So, unless you're right next to them and you can feel them,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34you don't really know where anybody is.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Say someone's three lanes away and they're leading by half a stroke,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40can you really see them or do you get a sense of it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43No, if you can see them when they're that far over,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44you know you're in trouble.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47OK, just swim faster. OK. Time for the quiz then.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Would you like to go first or second on Film and Television?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Well, I knew more of Charlotte's answers than I did of Daphne's,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55so I'm going to go first, please.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Best of luck, Liz. Film and Television. First question.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02"Who loves ya, baby?"
0:11:02 > 0:11:04was the catchphrase of which television detective?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's not Frost. And my dad used to watch a lot of Columbo,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14so he's going to kill me if I get it wrong.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'll go with Kojak.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, the way you said that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You went K... I thought you'd go Columbo.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's Kojak. It is the right answer. Well done.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Brilliant. Slipped it out there.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Dave, a tram crash was a major storyline
0:11:31 > 0:11:33in which television soap in 2010?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The 50th anniversary of Coronation Street.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It is the right answer, of course.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43OK, Liz.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Who played the role of Fiona in the 1994 film
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Four Weddings And A Funeral? Was it...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Charlotte's going to know this and I haven't got a clue.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57So I'm going to go with Emma Thompson.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK. You presumably haven't seen it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- No.- No. Charlotte, have you seen it then?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Is it one of your favourite films? - It's one of, yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Do you know, is it Emma Thompson?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- I'd have gone with Kristin Scott Thomas.- It is Kristin Scott Thomas.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I knew there was a Thom in there.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Oh, I see what you mean, yes. Unlucky.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18OK. Dave, second question.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Meryl Streep's career tally of Oscar nominations reached what number
0:12:22 > 0:12:26when she won the Academy Award for the 2011 film The Iron Lady?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Right, so her nominations.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Right, it's not 24.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Don't think it's as high as 17.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Yeah, over 30 years of acting.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- 12.- Is it, other Eggheads? Is it 12?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- I think it's 17.- It's 17.- It is 17.
0:12:49 > 0:12:5317. So, good news for Liz. Stays all square.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Liz, who is listed as an actor,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59a writer and an executive producer
0:12:59 > 0:13:03on the credits of the 1971 film Universal Soldier?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I don't think it's Timothy Dalton. I think it's too early.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I'm going to go with Sean Connery.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20He played James Bond
0:13:20 > 0:13:24but it was the man who only played him once. George Lazenby.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28OK. Well, let's see. It's not over yet. Let's see how Dave does.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Dave, which US actress was married to the British author Roald Dahl
0:13:32 > 0:13:35from 1953 to 1983?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Not too many Oscar nominations for this one.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I think she won for Hud in 1958. It's Patricia Neal.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Oh, you know it. It is the right answer,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50which means you are through to the final round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Bad luck, Liz. You won't be there.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, I know you guys thrive on adversity
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and you've got a bit of it now in this game.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You've lost two brains from the final round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The Eggheads are all there. We've got two more head-to-heads before the final.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And our next subject is Sport.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Well, who wants to play this? Am I doing that?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- You're going to have to. - Yeah.- Cos you're gone, aren't you?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK. I'll do it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22OK, David. Now choose your Egghead. Kevin, Judith or Pat?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'm being reliably informed to choose Judith.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Of course you can. Let's have David and Judith
0:14:27 > 0:14:29without further ado into the Question Room.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Well, David. An internet sensation.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm known as the guy that hit that shot now, aren't I?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Yeah. Six million hits or something, isn't it, for this shot?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Yeah, I did a shot in London in the games
0:14:44 > 0:14:47and it's being billed as one of the greatest shots ever.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I don't know whether it's quite that good.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I could never have believed it would go this big, so it is amazing.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Yeah. So, of the six million, how many hits are yours? 150,000?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01It's a good motivational thing for when I'm playing badly.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'll just watch that video and I'll be fine.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I want to have a look at it again as soon as this finishes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Go for it.- David, go for this. Sports.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And would you like to go first or second?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I will go first, please.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Best of luck, David. Here's your question.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21In 2008, the rules of the modern pentathlon were changed
0:15:21 > 0:15:25to combine the shooting discipline with which of the other events?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Well, obviously, I'm a big fan of the Olympics
0:15:31 > 0:15:35but my knowledge of all sports isn't that broad,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37so I was quite worried but I think I know this.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I hope I know this. I think it's running.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Running...is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Judith, for the 2010 season,
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Ross Brawn became team principal for Mercedes in which motor sport?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Well, I think that is Formula 1. - Yes, it is.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00And back to David.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04In which year did the golfer Phil Mickelson turn professional?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12All right, golf is not one of my strong points.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16So this isn't a good question for me but I'll give it a stab.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18My housemates are always watching golf,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21so they'll probably kill me if I get this wrong.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I'm thinking either '82 or '92 at the moment.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'm going to go '82, I think. 1982.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- No, it's '92.- Oh, is it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- You were thinking it. Bad luck.- Oh, well.- OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Judith, which team won cricket's county championship in 2012?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Oh, lordy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Nottinghamshire.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- No. Warwickshire.- Oh, no!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- I said Warwickshire in answer to a question the other day.- Oh, I see.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And it was wrong. So I thought, oh, no, can't trust Warwickshire.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- You see, that was a different question.- It was.- Yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02That's good news for you, David.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05It stays all square at 1-1. And your third question.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10In 2012, the footballer Joey Barton joined which French club on loan?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Marseille, I think.- Joey Barton in 2012 was loaned to Marseille.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20It's the right answer. Well done.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Means you need this, Judith.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Which of these tennis players has been nicknamed The Wall
0:17:25 > 0:17:27for his relentless returning of the ball?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I haven't heard this.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Who just bats it back?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I think it might be David Ferrer.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52It is. It is. So it's all square and we go to Sudden Death again.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK. David, you know what this means.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- I can't show you any options, so best of luck with this.- Cheers.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The brothers Bismarck and Jannie du Plessis
0:18:01 > 0:18:04have played international rugby union for which team?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I'm going to go for South Africa. - It's the right answer, yes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13The Springboks. Great answer. OK, Judith.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19The Ethiopian athlete Mamo Wolde won a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and then a bronze in the same event four years later
0:18:21 > 0:18:25at the age of 40 in which athletics event?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, they're very good at long-distance running.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I think I'm going to have to choose
0:18:30 > 0:18:35one of the 5,000, 10,000 or marathons.
0:18:35 > 0:18:375,000 metres.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40OK. 5,000, 10,000 or marathon you said
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- and it is the marathon. - It's the marathon?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Which means, David, you are through to the final round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Congratulations.- Thanks.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The Para-Rangers have lost two brains
0:18:55 > 0:18:58but the Eggheads have now lost their first brain.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00And our last head-to-head before the final round
0:19:00 > 0:19:04that could make it all square in that final round is Food and Drink.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Mark or Dani, who'd like to play this? Food and Drink.- I'll go, yeah.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Dani, please.- OK, Dani. And choose an Egghead.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12The remaining players there are Kevin and Pat.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- Kevin.- Yeah?- Kevin. - Kevin. Good choice.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22OK, let's have Dani and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Of course, Dani, double Paralympic gold.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Consecutive, though, not in the same games. 2008 and 2012, yeah?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Yes, yes. I won a gold medal in Beijing
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and then again this time in London.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Fantastic stuff. And, of course, a double appearance on Eggheads.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Yes, this is my second time. First time was with the GB archery team.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Which is more of an honour? A Paralympic gold or an appearance on Eggheads?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I don't know how you can choose.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Well...- Yeah. OK, don't answer that one, honestly.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Now, Dani,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59on Food and Drink, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Oh, definitely first, please.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05And, Dani, your first question is this.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08What type of food is angel food cake?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I think it's a sponge cake.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Sponge cake is the right answer.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21And, Kevin, what meat is known in France as jambon? Is it...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Straight translation job, that one. It's ham.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30It is indeed, yes. Both off to a nice, easy start.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Dani, what Italian name is given to the vegetable
0:20:33 > 0:20:37that is also known as black cabbage and Tuscan kale? Is it...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I really don't have a clue.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I don't know any Italian at all.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's between the first or the second one, I think.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Oh, I really don't know.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I think I'll go with the middle one,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I can't even pronounce it, Pane Toscano?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Pane Toscano.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05It's not the right answer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08You were onto it with your little bit of Italian.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's the other one you were thinking of with nero in there,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15the black cabbage. Cavolo nero. Bad luck.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17A gap there in your scoring.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21So, Kevin, the potato dumplings known as kroppkakor
0:21:21 > 0:21:23are a speciality of which country?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Now, that's a spelling job if ever I heard one.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33It's K-R-O-P-P-K-A-K-O-R.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Different languages in the Philippines,
0:21:34 > 0:21:38so it's not beyond the bounds of possibility,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40but it does sound distinctly Scandinavian.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'll say Sweden.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47It's the right answer, yes. You've got it. OK.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Right, Dani, you need this then. Which of these foodstuffs
0:21:50 > 0:21:53is a major ingredient in a Milanese souffle?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I genuinely don't have a clue.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Think I'm going to go with apple.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06A Milanese souffle contains a lot of lemon.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Oops.- Oh, bad luck.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Means we don't get to put another one to Kevin.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16He's done enough to get through. So would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:25 > 0:22:27won't take part in this round.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, Dani, Charlotte and Liz from the Para-Rangers
0:22:30 > 0:22:34and Judith from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio, please.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So, Mark and David, you're playing to win the Para-Rangers £9,000.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Pat, Kevin, Dave and Daphne,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54The questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55You can talk amongst yourselves.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00So, Para-Rangers, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- And, Mark and David, would you like to go first or second? - First, please.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09And off we go. Best of luck, guys.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Which term refers to decorative battlements
0:23:12 > 0:23:15on houses, castles and churches?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Which term refers to decorative battlements
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- on houses, castles and churches? - I'm thinking crenellations.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- But I'm not sure at all.- OK.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- I don't know what you think? - Crenellations, yeah?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Do you know?- No. - Shall we go crenellations then?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38We'll go for crenellations, please.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- OK. It's correct.- I thought it was.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43It is correct. So, a good start.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47And, Eggheads, what is the British term for the part of a car
0:23:47 > 0:23:49that Americans call a fender?
0:23:52 > 0:23:58- Wing?- Wing. Yeah. - Cos a bonnet is a hood, isn't it?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- I thought fender was the bumper. - Bumper?- I thought it was wing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04You thought it was wing. OK.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Of course, a boot is trunk. - Yeah, OK.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- That's fine.- We're going with wing.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Wing. Wing is the right answer, yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15OK, Para-Rangers.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Which businessman was nicknamed The Bouncing Czech,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21that's C-Z-E-C-H?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Didn't you do business? - Yeah, it's Maxwell.- I don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yeah, yeah. We're going to go for Robert Maxwell.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35OK. Your business background there, Mark, coming straight in.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37And Robert Maxwell is the right answer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41OK. Well, Eggheads.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Whose signature appears on banknotes as a result of his appointment
0:24:44 > 0:24:48as Chief Cashier of the Bank of England in 2011? Is it...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- It's Chris Salmon.- Yeah?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Chris Salmon?- You think it's Chris Salmon?- Yeah, fine.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Eddie George is the former Governor.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Daniel Alexander, obviously, Danny Alexander, General Secretary.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's Chris Salmon.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Chris Salmon, and I heard you identifying the other two.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It is Chris Salmon. That is the right answer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14So it's all square at 2-2.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18The next pair of questions could decide the outcome of the game
0:25:18 > 0:25:20so highly important.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Para-Rangers, St Chad's is a college in which UK university?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I've played table tennis in Durham.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I've never been to Cambridge or Oxford.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And that's throwing out at me.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- I'm not sure.- OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- I don't know if you know.- No. I've never heard of the name.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'm trying to remember.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44How long ago was it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I graduated in 2011, so that's just what's coming out at me.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49- Go for Durham?- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53OK, we're going to hazard a guess at Durham, please.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56OK, highly important question, as I say.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59The answers of these two questions could decide the winners.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- It's the right answer.- I thought so.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well done, guys. You have three
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and, if the Eggheads fail here, you've beaten them.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Eggheads, who took the famous photograph called Migrant Mother,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16depicting poverty during the great depression? Was it...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Dorothea Lange.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25That's Dorothea Lange.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Yes, it is, Eggheads. You've got it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK, it's all square, we go into Sudden Death.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Para-Rangers, for what does the letter C stand
0:26:34 > 0:26:38in the abbreviation PCSO,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40when referring to the uniformed,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43non-warranted officials employed by police forces in England and Wales?
0:26:43 > 0:26:48For what does the letter C stand in the abbreviation PCSO,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51when referring to the uniformed, non-warranted officials
0:26:51 > 0:26:54employed by police forces in England and Wales?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57PCSO. What is the C?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02We're going to go for constable.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04OK, constable.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm sorry, it's incorrect.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It is not constable.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Just check with the Eggheads, do they know?- Community.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Do you know the full PCSO? Police Community Support Officer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20That's it. Police Community Support Officer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23So the Eggheads have a chance here.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27The name of which dance is used to represent the letter F
0:27:27 > 0:27:29in the NATO phonetic alphabet?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32The name of which dance is used to represent the letter F
0:27:32 > 0:27:34in the NATO phonetic alphabet?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Foxtrot.- Yeah, foxtrot.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39That's foxtrot, Dermot.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Foxtrot is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Bad luck, Para-Rangers. Really bad luck.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53That St Chad's answer, I thought you might just do it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56But I know you guys, you treat victory and defeat in the same manner.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It'd be nice if you could come back and play the Eggheads again.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I think it would be close, as this has been.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06It's been wonderful having you here. And, of course, much, much success
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- in the future with whatever you're going on to do.- Thank you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Especially 2016.- It's been pleasure. - It's been a real pleasure having you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- The pleasure is all ours, is it not, Eggheads?- Without any question.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I'm afraid you haven't won the £9,000.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Do join us next time when it's the turn of a team of well-known songwriters
0:28:30 > 0:28:32to see if they have the brains to defeat our Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
