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 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads, the show where
0:00:27 > 0:00:30a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:30 > 0:00:32the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And taking on our legendary quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:40are No Disgrace in 2nd Place. Now, it's fair to say that
0:00:40 > 0:00:43those of us who love sport admire the work of the guys in this team.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Perhaps you might not instantly recognise their faces,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49but you'll certainly recognise their voices, from the commentary,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53reporting and, in Rob's case, the master of ceremonies work they do
0:00:53 > 0:00:55on some of the world's biggest sporting events.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58So, Rob, would you do the honours, please?
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Thank you, Dermot.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Ladies and gentlemen, taking on the might of the Eggheads -
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Will they crack? We hope so! - we are No Disgrace in 2nd Place!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Let's meet the team.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Rob Walker, I commentate on athletics, report on all sorts
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and sometimes MC on snooker.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm Lee McKenzie. I'm a pit lane reporter
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and presenter on BBC's Formula One show.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Hello, I'm Mitch Fenner and I commentate on gymnastics for BBC.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hi, I'm Karen Pickering, former international swimmer
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and I commentate on swimming and diving.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Hello, I'm Andrew Cotter, I commentate on many sports,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35but I specialise in golf and rugby.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37OK, well, thank you very much for that, Rob.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39That's a nice way of doing introductions.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Maybe we'll introduce that for the regular games.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44You can just stay over my shoulder and pop up. It'd be fantastic.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46That's a bit defeatist, the team name?
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- No Disgrace in 2nd Place? - LAUGHTER
0:01:47 > 0:01:50There is in this game! There's no money for second place.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53It's just realism, realism rather than pessimism, I think.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56But you report on the sporting events, you know, these coaches
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and the competitors, they say, "There's first, or you've lost."
0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's why we talk about it and don't do it!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04OK, are you prepared, though? Have you been talking amongst yourselves,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07thinking of categories and which Egghead you might play?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09We've definitely been talking amongst ourselves.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yeah, we were strongly hoping that, er, that sport might appear,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15but then, if we do sport, and it all goes wrong,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- then we can never go back to our jobs.- I know.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- We've ruled out more categories than we've taken on.- OK!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Let's see what categories come up. Let's play the game.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Because, every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:25 > 0:02:28for our challengers' chosen charity. However, if they fail to defeat
0:02:28 > 0:02:31the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, No Disgrace in 2nd Place,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35as this is the first of our celebrity specials,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39£1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Who'd like to start us? - ROB: We talked about this.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Who fancied it?- But we also know that one of the strongest
0:02:49 > 0:02:51is supposed to be Kevin and, apparently,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54his weakness is that he doesn't even own a cooker.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Food & Drink is his Achilles heel. - Right.- Big clue.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Right, so...- We know who we're taking on, but who's doing it?
0:03:01 > 0:03:07Well, it was...it was one of the ones I fancied more than the others.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Put it that way. I wouldn't say it was a specialist subject of mine...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12This'll be a mighty collision, fantastic.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You can get us off to a winning start. Come on!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Give it a go. All right, I'll do it. - Straight out of the box!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- And Kevin.- For the team.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK, Karen and Kevin and they're bigging up your chances, Karen.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And I like all that research you've done, Andrew,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- like the good well-prepared commentator you are.- Absolutely!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It could all be a lie, but no, absolutely,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33fail to prepare, prepare to fail, so Kevin's going down, possibly.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, sorry, you did the research
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and Karen takes on the responsibility.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Passes it over nicely. It's all about teamwork.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK, well, let's have Karen and Kevin
0:03:41 > 0:03:44into the Question Room, please, to make sure you can't confer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Well, Karen, it's so good to have you all here.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I mean, you all have so many different backgrounds and expertise
0:03:50 > 0:03:53in terms of the sports you commentate on, but of course,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57you were a world champion in the sport you commentate on.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Did you find that transition an easy one?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Um, actually, it wasn't too bad and I think that I just loved the fact
0:04:04 > 0:04:08that I could still go to the major championships and still be involved,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12um, in the sport that I love and, actually, it's so much easier
0:04:12 > 0:04:17talking about it than doing it, so it's a bit of a dream job, actually.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Yes, a lot of nodding going on... - THEY LAUGH
0:04:19 > 0:04:23..from your colleagues here. OK, and you get to choose,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26as the challenger, do you want to go first or second?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'm going to go first, I think, I'm going to pile on the pressure.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37OK, first question - what is the name of the baking technique
0:04:37 > 0:04:40in which flour and butter are mixed using the fingertips
0:04:40 > 0:04:43to give the consistency of breadcrumbs?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Well, um, I'm assuming it's not folding in,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52because you aren't doing any folding.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Pretty sure you don't break in,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58so I'm going to go with rubbing in, as a guess.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02It is the right answer, well done, rubbing in! You have one.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And, Kevin...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What type of fabric shares its name
0:05:06 > 0:05:09with a light cake made with stiffly beaten egg whites?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16A light cake made with stiffly beaten egg whites?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Yeah, precisely.- Yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I can't see anything like that being called a seersucker,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- and linen sounds odd too, so I'm going chiffon.- Chiffon.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Is the right answer. Yes, Kevin,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27you've got one there too and back to Karen.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33The gaiwan, invented in China, is a lidded bowl used for serving what?
0:05:36 > 0:05:41Um, I don't think it's going to be tea, cos that's probably a teapot.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44A lidded bowl...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'm going to guess it's seaweed.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50OK, seaweed for the gaiwan lidded bowl used for serving...
0:05:50 > 0:05:51tea!
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- THEY GROAN - It's tea!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54What's wrong with a good old teapot?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I suppose it is a kind of one.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Um, Kevin, your second question -
0:05:58 > 0:06:03gypsy tart, a dessert made from pastry with evaporated milk filling
0:06:03 > 0:06:06is a dish originating in which county?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12HE LAUGHS
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It's one of these regional British speciality questions, isn't it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I hate these.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Never heard of it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Well, I can't, it could literally be any of them, couldn't it, really?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Um, so I'll try Kent.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26It's the right answer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Well, at least we know it was a pure guess...- Yeah.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You landed yours and, unfortunately, Karen didn't land hers.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Well, another question each and you need to get this one, Karen.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40What type of food is the traditional Jewish recipe cholent?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47No idea.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51So this is going to be a guess.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm sort of drawn towards a savoury pancake, but I don't really know why.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'm going to guess at that. A savoury pancake.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It's a meat stew, Karen!- Oh!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Sorry!- Bad luck.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You did start so well, Karen,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09but no place in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14No Disgrace in 2nd Place, you've lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The Eggheads are all there, but we've only played one round,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19of course, so we'll play another one, which is Sport!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- LAUGHTER - Sport!
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Who wants to do it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27We definitely said that we want to save you for the general knowledge.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29For sitting on my own being humiliated, yes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32All right, look, we're going to be expected to win.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Who do we take on?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Well, I'm looking at him. - No, who do we take on?!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- No, who do we take on?- Take on?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Chris?- I would say Chris. Yeah, I'd say Chris.- Go for it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Go on, Rob.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- OK.- Rob and Chris.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Rob! - We're going to go for Chris.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It'll be Rob and Chris heading for the Question Room, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So, Rob, the commentating and MCing, snooker, boxing,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55sailing, triathlon, is there anything I've left out?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58A bit of athletics as well, that's probably my number one love,
0:07:58 > 0:07:59- the athletics.- That is?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02What about, um, sports you actually participate in,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04or don't you? Tell me.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06No, I'm a runner. When you're tall and thin and lanky,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10with not much co-ordination, there aren't many sports available to you,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13but I absolutely love running, it's the thing that got me into
0:08:13 > 0:08:16wanting to be a sports journalist and broadcaster in the first place.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I've done a few marathons,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21but sadly, not as quick as the likes of Paula Radcliffe
0:08:21 > 0:08:23or Haile Gebrselassie. DERMOT LAUGHS
0:08:23 > 0:08:24But I bet you were no slouch?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Not bad. The highest level I got to was county champion
0:08:27 > 0:08:31at 1,500m and cross-country. And then I quickly realised that
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I was maybe a little bit better at talking than I was at running,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37so I just keep it going on a recreational basis.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41OK, right, let's see what it takes to win this round - Sport -
0:08:41 > 0:08:43well, you said it before you started, all of you,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45there's a lot of pressure on whoever plays it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48That means you, Rob. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Oh, thanks very much! I've got to go first.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56OK, first question, then, is this -
0:08:56 > 0:09:00the phrase "park the bus" is particularly associated with sport?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Oh, dear, right, this is an interesting one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I don't know a huge amount about football, but I have watched
0:09:09 > 0:09:12a reasonable amount in the last 10 or 15 years and I can't think
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I've ever heard a commentator use that expression for football.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I've got a slight gut instinct
0:09:19 > 0:09:24that it just sounds like something that an American might say,
0:09:24 > 0:09:28which is leaning me towards baseball, "park the bus".
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I'm just getting images of somebody smashing a home run
0:09:32 > 0:09:36and someone with an American accent shouting from the crowd,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39"Park the bus, man, take it home!" Or something like that!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42So, look, it's ever such a slight guess.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I'm going to go for baseball. - OK, well, you've convinced me...
0:09:45 > 0:09:46LAUGHTER
0:09:46 > 0:09:48That's a very, very good explanation.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- It's not the right answer, Rob. - Oh, no!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's, um, football.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Football. Um, so nothing there for Rob and a chance
0:09:58 > 0:09:59for an early lead, then, Chris.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02In golf, what name is usually given to a hole that,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04owing to its characteristics or style,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07particularly defines a specific course?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, the 19th hole is the bar in the clubhouse.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17A dogleg hole is what it says.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You know, a hole you've got to go around the corner to get to,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22so it's got to be the signature hole of the course.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It is, yes, so you have that lead.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Right, Rob, let's get you off the mark.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Saeed bin Suroor, born in Dubai in the late 1960s,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33found fame as a leading figure in which sport?
0:10:36 > 0:10:41OK, well, I've covered the sailing in China in 2008
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and I covered the sailing in Weymouth.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46And I hadn't covered it before that, but I did do a little bit
0:10:46 > 0:10:50of retrospective history and I don't remember that name from sailing,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52though I could be wrong.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Now, I know horse racing has some big followers in that part of the world,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00so I'm tempted to lean towards that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Again, I'm not a massive expert in motor racing,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08but my instinct is leaning me more towards A,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11towards horse racing, than the other two.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15But after my mistake in the first round, I'm not so confident,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but I've got to go with something, so I'm going to say horse racing.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22OK, confidence knocked, needs to score...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Under a lot of pressure.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- You got it!- Yes, come on! DERMOT LAUGHS
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You know what? I think, if Eggheads ever did have a commentary,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32as you're thinking about the questions, we should have
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Rob in the background going, "Daphne's thinking about it!"
0:11:35 > 0:11:39OK, er, well, you have won there, that's good.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40And hope Chris slips up
0:11:40 > 0:11:44in one of his next two. Chris, which team won seven consecutive
0:11:44 > 0:11:49county cricket championship titles between 1952 and 1958?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I don't think it was Middlesex, cos most of that time I was living
0:11:55 > 0:11:58in Middlesex and I don't remember much furore about the cricket team.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Don't think it was Surrey, but, um...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04We're talking about the Fred Trueman era, aren't we?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05So it's got to be Yorkshire.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Yorkshire?- Mm-hm.- Is it, Barry?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Sadly, it wasn't. They should've done, but it wasn't. It was Surrey.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Yeah, you've knocked your own bails off, it's Surrey.- Oh.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It is Surrey. Well, look at that, Rob!
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Right back in it, everything to play for, let's see if you get this
0:12:22 > 0:12:23and you just might win the round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Which English Rugby Union international
0:12:26 > 0:12:29was named Player Of The Season in France in 2012
0:12:29 > 0:12:31after moving there to play in 2011?
0:12:36 > 0:12:43Right, now, Cipriani has had his fair share of spells at a lot of clubs.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46But I'm pretty sure he has spent his time
0:12:46 > 0:12:50outside the UK playing down under.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52That didn't necessarily go so well for him.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I remember reading some headlines, so I'm going to rule out Cipriani.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I'm going to put my money on the golden boy, that winning kick, 2003,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04is it going to be a winning kick for me if it is? It's Jonny Wilkinson!
0:13:04 > 0:13:07LAUGHTER
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You've done your own self commentary there, that's good.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- It's not the right answer, though, Rob!- Oh, no!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'd love to give you a point for that commentary.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It is Steffon Armitage!
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- Not Jonny Wilkinson.- Oh!
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- Not Jonny Wilkinson.- Oh! - Which means Chris has a chance here
0:13:22 > 0:13:25to take the round. Chris...
0:13:25 > 0:13:26The Briton, Allan Jay,
0:13:26 > 0:13:31won two Olympic silver medals in 1960 in which sport?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35'60? That was, hmm...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I was 13.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I don't think it was table tennis.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I don't think it was badminton. I seem to remember something
0:13:44 > 0:13:47about somebody doing something with fencing, so fencing.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Fencing is the right answer, Chris!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You have done it!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Bad luck, Rob. Oh, well, you'll just have to come back
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and captain the team, help them with their selections,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59no place for you, though, in the final round.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, um, if you keep going like this, your wish will become true,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- No Disgrace in 2nd Place! - HE LAUGHS
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- We might even get third, actually! - Yeah, well, that would be a novelty!
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Um, no victories yet, so two brains missing from the final round.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18The Eggheads are all still there.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Let's move on to our third subject and it's Politics now.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Who wants to play this? And, remember,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Rob and Karen have played, so we've got Lee, Mitch or Andrew.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Well, it's you or me. - I would suggest you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Me?- If you do history...- OK.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Shall we have a vote on it? - I'll have a go. I'll have a go.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- ROB: I think Mitch. - There you go, Mitch!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm voted in, OK. I'll go for it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Your choices are Barry, Daphne or Dave.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I think I'll go for Dave.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48OK. Mitch and Dave playing this one. Into the Question Room, please.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And, Mitch. Gymnastics.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Listening to you during the wonderful Olympic commentary,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58such a technical sport, of course,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02and so many people want to watch it, understand what's going on,
0:15:02 > 0:15:07but, of course, have no idea how you score who is better than the other.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I was very impressed by the way you brought the viewer along with you,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14just salting in, "Watch out for this, look for that.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16"They can score on this."
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Do you deliberately do that or does that just naturally come to you?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I think it's a natural thing.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Basically, when people are looking at it,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26they know what looks good and they also know what looks dangerous.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28And I think it's getting that balance right.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Whenever I see a gymnast perform, I'm always impressed
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and I want everyone else to be impressed. It's so difficult!
0:15:35 > 0:15:39And when they do it well, as well as being difficult, it's just worth...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Every time I see a performance, I'm impressed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- And I try and convey that. - Right, Mitch, let's play the round.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's Politics. Do you want to go first or second?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I might as well go first.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Best of luck, Mitch. First question.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Yvette Cooper became an MP for which political party in 1997?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's not a name I know.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm not a big fan of politics.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I drew the short straw for this round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13So, it's going to be pure guesswork.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16All the other questions have been in the middle or on the right,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19so I'm going to go on the left and say Liberal Democrat.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, the Liberal Democrat Yvette Cooper.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, there's an image.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Dave, you're shaking your head.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yes, it's Labour.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Cos she's married to Ed Balls.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yes, Yvette Cooper is Labour,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36but not a Lib Dem, as Mitch thought.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37So, Dave, your question.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Who was John Major's Deputy Prime Minister from 1995 to 1997?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Don't think it was Norman Lamont.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49They didn't exactly end on good terms.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I don't think it was Douglas Hurd.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56I think it's Michael Heseltine was the First Minister.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Deputy Prime Minister. Yes, that's the right answer.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01So, you've got a point.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05And Mitch, how many children do Bill and Hillary Clinton have?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Well, I've only heard one mentioned.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Chelsea, I think.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The others have either been very, very careful
0:17:17 > 0:17:19about their private lives or...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21No, I'm going to say one. Chelsea.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25OK, one child for Bill and Hillary Clinton, naming her as well.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It is the right answer. Yes, Chelsea.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OK, your second question, Dave.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Who was president of the USA
0:17:33 > 0:17:36after Franklin Pierce and before Abraham Lincoln? Is it...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I think that's James Buchanan.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44OK. That is the right answer.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yes, James Buchanan. There we are.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well, Mitch, you're on the board
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and you need to get this one on the board, as well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Who came third in the 2012 London mayoral election?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Erm... Being a Cornishman,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I've not got a lot of interest in London politics.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm not really interested in politics, actually.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But, anyway, it's going to be another guess.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Brian Paddick.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Brian Paddick, you think.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- It was Jenny Jones. - Aww!- Jenny Jones.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Good performance from the Green Party.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And it means your round is over, Mitch.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23You're not in the final round.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The plan's working fantastically!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31LAUGHTER
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Missing three brains now from the final round.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Last chance to get rid of one of them
0:18:38 > 0:18:40or Lee or Andrew will be on their own.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Now, it's one of you to play this Music round.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49The plan was to save Andrew till the end.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Yeah.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, I will take the Music.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Come on, Lee, yes!- Come on, Lee!
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Who shall I go against?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59You've got Daphne or Barry remaining there.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I think I'd like to play against Daphne, please.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Why so, Lee? Why do you want to take on Daphne?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Erm... This is the first thing
0:19:10 > 0:19:11I have no actual basis for,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15but I just think I like watching the programme and I always like Daphne.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Yeah! We all love Daphne.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And my husband adores Lee.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22He watches motor racing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Just a love-in here. - There we are! Absolutely.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'd hate you to let your husband down,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29so maybe you could be lenient with some of your answers.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30LAUGHTER
0:19:30 > 0:19:33OK, continue those negotiations in the Question Room, please,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Lee and Daphne!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well, Lee, I bet you hear this all the time, but I'm going to say it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Call that a job?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40SHE LAUGHS
0:19:40 > 0:19:45I mean, travelling the world, Formula 1. How hard is that?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- I know, I know, it is hard.- It's harder than people would imagine.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I'm not giving a sob story, but we do go to over 20 countries.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I go to over 20 countries. Jetlag is a bit of a problem.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yeah. Lee, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's been so successful for the past few rounds,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I think I'm going to go first.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08And your first question, Lee.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Which Adele song starts with the lyrics
0:20:10 > 0:20:13"There's a fire starting in my heart,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17"reaching a fever pitch, it's bring me out the dark"? Is it...
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I do a lot of karaoke in hotel rooms round the world.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I think this one's Rolling in the Deep.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30And how are the drivers at singing? Who's the best?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I have done some karaoke with some of the drivers.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Sebastian Vettel's learning to play the guitar at the moment.- Is he, now?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39And he's a huge Beatles fan. So he always does that at karaoke.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Mark Webber always does Summer of '69, but we've all heard
0:20:42 > 0:20:44that for about ten years now, so he needs to find a new song.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48OK. And, let me confirm, Rolling in the Deep is the correct answer.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well done, Lee.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52And Daphne, what was the Spice nickname of
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Spice Girl's member Mel B?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01She was Scary Spice.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I quite like Swanky.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Would have been a good one.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Scary is the right answer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Back to Lee.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10In 2012, who won the first series of The Voice UK?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Well, Leona Lewis and Joe McElderry were both on X Factor,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22so that would leave me with Leanne Mitchell.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Yeah, simply worked out.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Well done. It's the right answer. Leanne Mitchell.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And, Daphne, This is the Day by John Rutter
0:21:30 > 0:21:33was commissioned for the wedding of which member of the Royal family?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Prince William.- The most recent one.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41- Yes.- It's the right answer.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Prince William. OK, all square. This is a good round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Lee, the song Apres un reve, or After a Dream,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53is one of the best known vocal works by which French composer? Is it...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I don't know this one.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Debussy, I think that was mostly
0:22:04 > 0:22:07piano work, but it doesn't mean to say
0:22:07 > 0:22:12that vocals didn't get put on to something.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Erm...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16To be honest, it's just going to be a guess.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17I'll go straight down the middle,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Faure.- Faure.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21It's correct!
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Yes!
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Well. Can you make it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Daphne, which singer known as the father of country music wrote
0:22:30 > 0:22:33TB Blues, having struggled with the disease for several years?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Is it...
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I think Hank Williams died comparatively young.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46So maybe it's Hank Williams.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Is that your answer?- I don't know.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Hank Williams.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, you've just made your husband very happy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Lee's still in the game.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You're out! It's Jimmie Rodgers.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, right.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Jimmie Rogers. There we are.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Last time of asking and you got through!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04And Andrew a very relieved man, I think.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07He's not going to be there on his own facing the Eggheads.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, Lee, come back into the studio
0:23:09 > 0:23:11and prepare yourself for the Final Round.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And so, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16It's time for the Final Round,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But, I'm afraid those of you who lost those head-to-heads won't be
0:23:21 > 0:23:23allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26So, Rob, Mitch and Karen, from No Disgrace in 2nd Place,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio, please.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33So, Lee and Andrew, you're playing to win
0:23:33 > 0:23:36No Disgrace in 2nd Place a thousand pounds.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Kevin, Dave, Chris and Barry,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41you're playing for something which money cannot buy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51That's one of the differences from those head-to-heads.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53The other big one is that you are allowed to confer, which is
0:23:53 > 0:23:56why Lee's victory was so important in that last head-to-head.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58So, No Disgrace in 2nd Place, the question is,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Lee and Andrew, one last thing to decide.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08There's been a theme, we've gone first all the way through.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We'll go first? We'll go first. Get it over with quickly.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Get it over with quickly. You mean three correct answers,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18the Eggheads get one wrong, you've got the money.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20OK, first question is this.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24In the United States, greenback is a nickname for what?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28In the United States,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31greenback is a nickname for what?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Well, I think it's dollar bill.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34- Simple as that.- Yeah?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Both been over there plenty of times, I suppose.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Without any greenbacks at all.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39LAUGHTER
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It is the right answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The greenback. Dollar bill.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Eggheads, what name is the English equivalent
0:24:45 > 0:24:48of the French name Guillaume? Is it...
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- William.- The Conqueror was William. - Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I think William the Conqueror was a Guillaume, so it must be William.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It is William, yes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02One to you and back to No Disgrace in 2nd Place,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04then, and second question.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08La Monnaie is one of the names of the main opera house
0:25:08 > 0:25:10in which European city?
0:25:12 > 0:25:17La Monnaie. M-O-N-N-A-I-E.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Well, it's French. - Brussels or Geneva?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Brussels or Geneva,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25but I would go with Geneva.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27For some reason, we think Geneva's
0:25:27 > 0:25:28a more cultured place than
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Brussels, despite all those MEPs.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- I don't know. Geneva?- I think Geneva.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Geneva.- OK, Geneva.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38No, Brussels.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42It's Brussels. Full of MEPs, yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45La Monnaie in Brussels.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48So, Eggheads, what is the name of the creepy pub where the
0:25:48 > 0:25:52backpackers David and Jack seek refuge
0:25:52 > 0:25:54in the film An American Werewolf in London?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Is it...
0:25:57 > 0:25:58The Slaughtered Lamb.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01This is that wonderful pub where, the moment they walk in,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04all of the locals immediately clam up and go silent.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Makes you feel really welcome.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's The Slaughtered Lamb.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09The answer is The Slaughtered Lamb!
0:26:09 > 0:26:10It's the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So, you have that lead and
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Lee and Andrew need this.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19What is the title of the sequel to the 1925 book
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Is it...

0:26:38 > 0:26:40subsequently in their lives.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42After they've had a whale of a time with the blondes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44But I want a stay of execution.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56I wasn't sure when you said about them having fun with the blondes.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58They have tremendous fun with brunettes, too.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We don't want to have a team domestic at this stage of the day.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Eggheads, you've won!

0:28:14 > 0:28:16They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I'm afraid you haven't won the thousand pounds.
