0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And hoping to topple our awesome quiz Titans today...
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This team are no strangers to the rigours of early starts,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47having worked on some of the country's most popular breakfast TV and radio programmes.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Sadly, the demands of one particular Egghead's morning regime
0:00:50 > 0:00:53curtails us from starting our recordings too early.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Teeth whitening, massages,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58hair in rollers for four hours,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00just the tip of the iceberg - isn't it, Barry?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03LAUGHTER
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The truth is out! Let's meet the team.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Diana Moran.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm one of the original presenters of BBC Breakfast Time,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13better known as the Green Goddess.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Hi, my name is Kaye Adams. I was a Loose Woman, but hallelujah, I have seen the light
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and now I do a morning radio show on BBC Radio Scotland.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi. I'm Lizzie Webb. I did the morning exercises on TV-am.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28I was known as Mad Lizzie. I'm not sure why!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Hello, I'm Jayne Irving. I used to present on TV-am.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I used to get a lie-in because I did after nine. Lucky me!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hello. I'm Sally Jones.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I was the BBC's first woman sports presenter on Breakfast Time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Welcome to you, Early Birds. We all know you for the physical work-outs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46This is a mental one. How good are you at quizzes?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51I don't think I'm terribly good. I'm rather dependent upon my team here.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- And we do have a secret weapon.- Ooh.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Yes.- The lady sitting beside me has done it before!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I know. She's back again to terrorise the Eggheads!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm only here as a lucky mascot
0:02:04 > 0:02:08because, remarkably, we managed to beat the Eggheads!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So I'm a bit nervous about being here
0:02:10 > 0:02:12because I dine out on that story
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and I'm afraid that maybe it will go today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Lighting can strike twice.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Let's hope it does, and singe all you lot!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, Early Birds, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:31 > 0:02:34which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Let's start the task. Arts & Books is the opening head-to-head round.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41A chance to try and knock an Egghead out.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Who wants to play on this?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've read a book!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Good start.- Has anyone written one?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- I do like art. But you're very good at...- Together we might be...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Could we do it together?- A double act? No?- It's a good idea.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Jayne, I think it's you.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Neck on the block first.- Good girl.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Jayne. And you get to choose any Egghead you like.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Lucky you!- Oh, gosh. What do we think?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Chris?- Go for it - Chris.- Yep.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13The opening round, Arts & Books.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Jayne and Chris contesting this one.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So into the question room both, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, Jayne, TV-am. Did you start at the beginning?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- When did you join?- I did, actually, as a reporter, when it first went on air.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31But you didn't get to do early starts if you were out in the field,
0:03:31 > 0:03:37so I got saved that! Then I did news reading and ended up doing the last half hour.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Got the easy bit at the end. - Sadly missed, actually, TV-am.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46You set the standard and what's followed has been a bit hit and miss.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49We created the woolly jumpers and the bright colours!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- And Roland Rat!- And Roland Rat. Should have had him on.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54OK. Let's play the round. Arts & Books.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Before I get it in the neck from Diana here!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I haven't mentioned Breakfast Time. We'll get on to that!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Jayne, would you like to go first or second?- I think first. Get it over with!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Best of luck, Jayne. The first question on Arts & Books.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Which artist's work, The Golden Calf,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18consisting of a bull in a gold-plated framed tank of formaldehyde
0:04:18 > 0:04:21sold for over £10 million in 2008?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I don't think it's Tracey Emin because it doesn't involve underwear
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and unmade beds - that's her thing!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So I think we can discount her!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think I'm probably tending more towards Damien Hirst.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Just because he's known for using formaldehyde.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So I'll go for him, but I'm not terribly sure.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Of course, yes. Damien Hirst.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Right answer.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Chris, your first question.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The Casual Vacancy published in 2012
0:04:54 > 0:04:57is the first adult novel by which author?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I don't think it's Julia Donaldson.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I don't think it's Jacqueline Wilson.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09J.K. Rowling, after years of churning out Harry Potter
0:05:09 > 0:05:13bought out an adult novel. I think it was called The Casual Vacancy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14So J.K. Rowling.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Published in 2012. It's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Right. A second question apiece.
0:05:21 > 0:05:28Jayne, what term is used to refer to the method of creating a decorative mosaic of inlaid wood?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35They all sound like things I'd have on a nice spaghetti!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- I have to confess! - Food & Drink round!
0:05:38 > 0:05:44Yes, I wasn't schooled in Latin, which I suspect might help me.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47So we are in the land of the guessing here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So on the basis that I like the sound of the word,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I'll go for impasto. Or impasto. - Impasto.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The technique is known as intarsia.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Unlucky. OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Well, still plenty of time for Chris to slip up.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Chris, your second question.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10In which Shakespeare play does the mention of Birnam Wood
0:06:10 > 0:06:12affect the title character?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17"Till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane."
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- It's the Scottish play, Macbeth. - Ah, yes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I see with your acting background experience,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24you don't really want to say it out loud.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I will make you to confirm it is the right answer.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Macbeth.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31OK. It means you need to get this, then, Jayne.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Spartacus Chetwynd, Luke Fowler, Paul Noble and Elizabeth Price
0:06:37 > 0:06:40were all shortlisted for what in 2012?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Well, I don't think it's the Booker Prize.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I may live to regret that!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Likewise, I don't imagine,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58if I'm sticking with it's not a writing prize,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I don't think it's the Stirling Prize.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02That's a writing prize.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So I'm going to go for the Turner Prize.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Turner Prize.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09A lot of nodding going on from your team-mates.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Jayne quizzing really well.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Unfortunate with that middle one you had to guess at.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It gives Chris an opening here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23What is the first name of the fictional detective Beck
0:07:23 > 0:07:27created by Swedish writers Sjowall and Wahloo
0:07:27 > 0:07:29in the 1960s?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Ah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Swedish.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yes, we'll give you that. I'll confirm that.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Swedish writers.- Even so, something is saying Martin Beck to me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So I'll go with Martin.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And it is Martin Beck.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Chris got it which means he'll be in the final round.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Jayne, no place for you. Please come and join your teams.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00A narrow victory for the Eggheads means the Early Birds have lost one brain from the final.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Let's move on to our next subject, Food & Drink.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Who'd like a go at this?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- You did well.- I'm no expert on Food & Drink,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13but if we go on luck, that's the subject I had last time.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Let's go on luck.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Ooh. Otherwise I would have done it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19No, you're good at Food & Drink.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- If you did it...- No, you do it. Let's not go on luck.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Let's go on expertise. Let's go on expertise.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- You do it, Diana.- Help! Help!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Expertise, not luck. Who shall we... - It can't be Chris,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34but any of those other four.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Was it Barry that I challenged last time on this?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- It was, wasn't it, Barry? - I think so.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- It was Barry.- Go for Barry.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48It's Bazza.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I don't think it was. I think it was Kevin, but he's not here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54So Diana and Barry playing Food & Drink.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Both to the question room, please.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So, Diana, time for me to make amends about Breakfast Time.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04You were on the air first, before TV-am.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Exactly. I was the other side!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10And we were the first. We won the race by about two weeks or so.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12And very popular it was, too.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16And we've got Lizzie here. Did you regard her as a rival on TV-am?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21- Did you keep an eye on her?- We were both trying to encourage the public
0:09:21 > 0:09:24to have a more healthy lifestyle.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27OK. Let's see what you know about Food & Drink.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Diana, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'll go first, please.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Best of luck, Diana. Here's your first question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39What type of cake is simnel cake,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41traditionally eaten at Easter.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's certainly not coffee cake.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Could it be chocolate because of Easter? I don't think it is.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm a little confused with this one.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I've got to make a decision.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I'm going to plump for the fruit cake.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Well, a certain side of the studio are very happy about that, Diana.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- It's the right answer. - Thank goodness for that!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16A tricky one, though.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- It was the chocolate that threw me. - Of course.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Chocolate and Easter. But well worked out. Barry.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Oh, my dearie me!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28What type of soup is sometimes known as "Jewish penicillin"
0:10:28 > 0:10:31because of its apparent curative powers?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36What type of soup is sometimes known as "Jewish penicillin"
0:10:36 > 0:10:38because of its apparent curative powers?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42If I get this wrong, I'll never be able to go home again!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I've had this every Friday night for more times than I care to mention!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- It's chicken soup.- OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Yes, it is just the way they fall. Correct. Chicken soup.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Not too taxing for Barry. Diana,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58in the United States, what name is commonly used to describe
0:10:58 > 0:11:02the dairy product consisting of equal parts of whole milk and cream?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Now, I don't know the answer to this, so this is going to be guesswork.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Oh, I'm cross with myself because it isn't something that I know.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I am going to have to guess on this one.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Half and Half.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24OK, in the American accent.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I bet when you're in America you don't have Half and Half. It is!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- The right answer. Well done again. - Phew! That was a good guess.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You are working those grey cells in there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Really getting the mental work-out. - It is a work-out.- Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Doing really well. So you have two.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Barry,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41next question.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46If you ordered polpi in an Italian restaurant, what would you be served?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I've had veal many times in an Italian restaurant,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53so I can discount that immediately.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Polpi. It sounds like an octopus, doesn't it?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I have a mental image of the word in my head, and I can see tentacles!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So I'm going to go for octopus.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07You're an Egghead. Coming up with that explanation for choosing it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It is the right answer. Octopus. So all square at two-all.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13A crucial couple of questions coming up. Diana,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16to put the pressure back on Barry.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Which popular Indian dessert
0:12:18 > 0:12:22consists of patties of curdled milk in a creamy sauce?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29This really is a guess.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I'm going to go for bal mithai.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35So you've had more than full-fat milk and now dessert!
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I mean, you don't sully your body with that kind of stuff, do you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- No, I wouldn't!- No.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It's not the right answer this time. It is ras malai.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49A really tough question there for Diana.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Let's hope Barry struggles with this and we'll go into sudden death if he does.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Barry, what French term describes the failure of some bunches of grapes in a vineyard
0:12:58 > 0:12:59to develop evenly?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I've never come across this term before.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So let's have a think.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13It sounds like a rather poor crop of French presidential candidates!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20But debourbage seems to suggest that something isn't quite right,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- so I shall go for debourbage.- OK.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Something not quite right with your answer, Barry!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29It's good news for Diana. It is millerandage.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Woo!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Grapes developing unevenly in a vineyard.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34That's great news for you, Diana.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38It's sudden death. If it's all square, we take away the options.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I just need to hear the answer from you. Here you go.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Zamorano cheese comes from which European country?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Zamorano. Z-A-M-O-R-A-N-O.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I think you're pulling the most horrible questions out for me!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Of course I write them all down!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Sounds like an Eastern European country.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm going to go for Romanian.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07A Romanian cheese.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10No, it's not. Eggheads?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Spanish.- Spanish. Judith is right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Spain. Zamorano.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18OK. Not identified by Diana.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20So Barry has a chance here,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22as he did on his third question, to take the round.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Barry, Warwick, Meerlust and Vergelegen
0:14:25 > 0:14:28are wines produced in which country?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Would you spell those second two, for me?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32M-E-E-R-L-U-S-T
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and V-E-R-G-E-L-E-G-E-N.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Vergelegen sounds Dutch, so I'll have a shot at South Africa.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Harsh! It's the right answer.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It pains me to say it. I'm physically sick.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Well, not literally!- I'm so sorry!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55That's South Africa, just on that Dutch root there he picked up on. That's why he's an Egghead.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Bad luck, Diana. You won't be in the final round.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Both please come back and join your teams.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, two Early Birds gone now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Gone for an early rest!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08And the Eggheads are all still there.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Next subject. This one is Politics.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I have an idea who might be playing this.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Kaye!- Politics.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Ooh, I've kept my head down so well so far!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Well hidden. No-one could see you!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I can feel the wagons circling!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Has it got to be me? - Politics is yours.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- OK.- You stay here, Kaye,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- and you pick your Egghead. - I've got to choose.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I'll identify them for you. Judith, Pat or Daphne.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Well, at least Daphne will beat me with a smile, and that's nice.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Daphne, will you go to the question room, please, along with Kaye.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Off you go.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Well, Kaye, politics is your bag, as they say, isn't it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You've got a professorship or something, haven't you?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- How ridiculous!- Masters?- I did study Economics and Politics at university,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58but sadly that is a very, very long time ago.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So I'm not going to try and quote that, at all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Is it true you interviewed Margaret Thatcher?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yes, that was mid-'80s.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I did. It was one of my first big interviews as a young journalist.
0:16:07 > 0:16:14So it was very nerve-racking. Not as nerve-racking as Daphne, but coming very close!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19OK. From the Iron Lady to the steel lady of quizzing.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Taking on Daphne. Kaye, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:22 > 0:16:27No, I'm going to curry favour here, go against the tide, and say over to Daphne.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Let's see if that cuts any ice at all with Daphne or not.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34First question, then, Daphne.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Which world leader has two daughters named Mariya and Yekaterina?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Well, Yekaterina sounds Russian to me,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51so I'm hoping it's Putin.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55It is the right answer. Vladimir Putin. OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57First one Daphne got successfully.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Kaye, here's your first one.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03What is the surname of Sir Nicholas and his wife, Anne,
0:17:03 > 0:17:09who for many years until 2010 sat as MPs in neighbouring constituencies in Cheshire?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16OK. I have never heard of Sir Nicholas Keen.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So he's out.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Bottomley, I immediately think of Virginia Bottomley,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24so I... Sir Nicholas Winterton.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Anne Winterton.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- That's what I'm going to go for.- OK.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The Wintertons is the right answer.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Well done.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36A lot tougher sitting there on your own in the question room.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40And it's all square going into the second set of questions.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Daphne, what shape is the central lobby of the Houses of Parliament?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well, I've never been there.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57But I don't know why, bit I'm going to go for octagonal.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It is octagonal. Right answer.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01This is your second question, Kaye.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05In the September 2012 cabinet reshuffle,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08who replaced Andrew Lansley as Health Secretary?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- I'm not going to muck about. Jeremy Hunt.- Good on you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Yes, right answer. No need to muck about.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So, all square. Daphne,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the process of national reorganisation
0:18:21 > 0:18:25was a name associated with a military government of which country?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Oh.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Well, I don't know.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39The only one I associate with a military government is Argentina.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Going for Argentina. It's the right answer, yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Ooh.- Clearly not the only one on that list with a military government.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It means you need this, Kaye.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53What type of creature did George Washington hire as entertainment
0:18:53 > 0:18:54for his Christmas guests
0:18:54 > 0:18:57at Mount Vernon in 1787,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00a tradition which continues today.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I haven't a clue. I have not a clue.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Christmas, you think camels.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14The Three Wise Men.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I can't imagine they're that easy to get hold of
0:19:17 > 0:19:20if people are continuing that tradition today.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Um, what was available in 1787?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- I'm going for a donkey. - OK. A donkey.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It is a camel!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It is a camel, which I know you were thinking about, Kaye.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Which means, Daphne, you're in the final round. Bad luck, Kaye.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Please come back and join your teams.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42OK. As it stands, the Early Birds have lost three brains from the final round.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The Eggheads haven't lost any, but you have one last chance. It's Lizzie or Sally.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's Film & Television. Who wants to play?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I'll probably be useless at it!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- You'll be good.- You'll be great.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'll do it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58OK, Lizzie. Good.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00You've got Pat or Judith available there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- What about Judith?- Judith. Judith.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Judith, Dermot.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08OK, it's going to be Lizzie and Judith into the question room.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, Lizzie, the thing about breakfast shows is
0:20:12 > 0:20:16you want to come across as though it's all organised and smooth,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18but it's always seat of the pants, in the end.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Always something going on off camera that the viewer can't see.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Might distract your eye, but you've got to be organised and know what you're saying.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Was it like that for you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Yes, a few things went wrong.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I remember on one occasion having a guest
0:20:31 > 0:20:35and I would take the guests into the dressing room and go through the exercises first.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39We used the music. Everything was choreographed to the music.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We got onto the studio floor, we started,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46and it was the totally wrong music that we'd rehearsed to.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49And you're live! So it tried not to mutter to my guest
0:20:49 > 0:20:53and we just had to keep going. It was half time to everything we'd done.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57OK. Let's play the round, shall we, Lizzie.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I think first, please.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Best of luck. We've been talking about '80s TV. Try this for size.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10In the TV series, Dallas,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13what was the name of the mother of JR and Bobby?
0:21:15 > 0:21:21I think Lucy was much younger.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm veering towards Miss Ellie.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I'm going to go for Miss Ellie.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32Miss Ellie. Yes, it's the right answer. Well done, Lizzie.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK. Your first question, Judith.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Which of these James Bond films
0:21:36 > 0:21:39was made in the 1960s?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Well, Octopussy was a Roger Moore one.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48So that's a bit later.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Oh, I can never remember.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I think it was Moonraker.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56OK. Moonraker.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Also Roger Moore.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Also Roger Moore? So it was Thunderball.- Thunderball.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Yep, with Sean Connery.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05So, Judith didn't know that. Great news for you, Lizzie.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09See if you can get this and open up a two-nil lead.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Who played the female lead in the 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18This is going to be a guess.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23And I should imagine the team are shouting out the name of the person.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27This is a pure guess. I'm just going to say Kristen Stewart.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- It's the right answer!- Hey!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You have a two-nil lead.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35So if Judith doesn't get this,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38you go straight through without another question. Judith,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40to keep your hopes alive,
0:22:40 > 0:22:46what object is being pursued in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I think it's... It's either the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- I think it's the Holy Grail. - The Holy Grail.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03The Ark is the first one. It is the Holy Grail. That is correct.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05She's still hanging in there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07But for a place in the final round, Lizzie,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12who plays the part of Peter Mannion in the TV comedy The Thick of It?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I'm just going to go for Roger Allam.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23And Roger Allam is he. It's the right answer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So Roger Allam puts you in the final round.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Congratulations, Lizzie. Come back and join your teams.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36So, this is what we've been playing towards, the final round,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38which as always is general knowledge.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42But those of you who lost your head-to-head won't take part in this round.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46So, Diana, Kaye and Jayne from the Early Birds and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48would you leave the studio, please.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Lizzie and Sally, you're playing to win the Early Birds £3,000.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money cannot buy.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The questions are all general knowledge, so anything can come up.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10And you are allowed to confer, which makes your victory, Lizzie, so important.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16So, Early Birds, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Lizzie and Sally, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- First.- I think we'd like to go first.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Let's get on with it. See if you can take out these Eggheads.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The first question is this.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36Which British cyclist became famous for sporting a mod sign on the front of his helmet?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I don't think it's Bradley Wiggins because of his sideburns.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44He's known for that.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46So it's one of the other two.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49What do you reckon?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Do you think the sideburns might be a bit of a moddish thing?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Or was that not really... I can't think of the mod...
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I don't know why he's done it, actually. But mods don't...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Didn't have... - Didn't have sideburns? No.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's right. So...
0:25:04 > 0:25:08As I did quite well on the guessing game, I'm going for Mark Cavendish.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Let's...- Unless you think it is one of the other two?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I don't know. I don't know who it is.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- So shall we have a perfectly good guess?- Go for it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19We'll guess and go for Mark Cavendish.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Mark Cavendish. The Manx Missile.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It is Bradley Wiggins!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Too obvious, we thought!
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31OK, Eggheads, let's see how you do.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Which term is used to refer to a pupil of Harrow School?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40ALL: Harrovian.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43He's an Harrovian.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Harrovian. Right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49So you have a lead. Early Birds, next question.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53In which Swiss city is Paradeplatz,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57the symbolic centre of the country's banking industry?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I think you always hear of the names of Zurich and the bankers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I always associate Zurich with bankers.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Geneva's just a big cosmopolitan sort of place.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I absolutely agree with you. Zurich.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13- Shall we try Zurich?- Yes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- We'll try Zurich.- Zurich for bankers, you're right. Yes.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Well done.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You need to hope the Eggheads fail with this.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26What term is used to refer to the technique of determining the order of nucleotides in DNA?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Sequencing.- Definitely.- Yes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35It's not concatenation. It's not ordination.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They're not becoming priests!
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Yep.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That's sequencing.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Sequencing. Are you glad you swerved that one?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It is sequencing, Eggheads. OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Right. It didn't happen there.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51You need to get this to stay in the game.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Which building appeared alongside a portrait of Edward Elgar
0:26:56 > 0:26:59on the reverse of the Bank of England £20 note
0:26:59 > 0:27:01introduced in 1999?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Well, he, um...
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I haven't a clue.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I mean, he was from Worcester, from Malvern area.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23And yet so much of his stuff was... He's so linked with
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Land of Hope and Glory. - The Royal Albert Hall.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Last night of the Proms.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I would have thought that he's so associated with the Albert Hall...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Over to you.- Worcester Cathedral wouldn't be...- Sally's answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We think Royal Albert Hall.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The answer is Worcester Cathedral.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Oh, no!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I might have known!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- A lot of people wouldn't have known that.- We guessed wrong twice.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53You had the essential piece of information.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I'm afraid we lost to a better team!
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Just let me confirm it. It means, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It's been great fun, reminiscing about old times.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And seeing you quizzing against the Eggheads.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14And getting very unlucky with those sitting in the question room.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It could have been very different in that final round.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Lizzie's victory will live long with us, as well.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Thank you for taking on the Eggheads.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28You haven't won the £3,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a team of medical and scientific experts
0:28:38 > 0:28:41have the brains to defeat our Eggheads. That should be interesting!
0:28:41 > 0:28:45£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye!
