0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.'

0:00:10 > 0:00:16'Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country'

0:00:17 > 0:00:20'Question is - can they be beaten?'

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads -

0:00:27 > 0:00:30the show where 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 tackling our awesome quiz geniuses today are Tap and Chat.

0:00:39 > 0:00:44It's often said, at a team sport, it's good to have strength and depth

0:00:44 > 0:00:47and that rule applies to doing well on Eggheads as well.

0:00:47 > 0:00:54I'm therefore going to stick my neck out and say that this team, who are all experts in their fields,

0:00:54 > 0:00:56stand a pretty good chance of winning today,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59especially as Sudden Death in the final round

0:00:59 > 0:01:03will take the form of a dance-off between Lionel and Barry.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Let's meet the team.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hello. My name's Lionel Blair. I'm best known for Give Us A Clue and Name That Tune.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14And I'm the youngest person on the panel!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi. I'm Christine Walkden, resident gardener on The One Show,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20and I just love weeds!

0:01:20 > 0:01:24I'm Mary-Ann Ochota, anthropologist and presenter,

0:01:24 > 0:01:28probably best known for Time Team and a series about feral children.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32I'm Clarissa Dickson-Wright. I'm a cook and a Fat Lady,

0:01:32 > 0:01:36best known for that programme and for Clarissa And The Countrymen.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40I'm Joe Inglis, I'm a vet from Vets In Practice and Blue Peter,

0:01:40 > 0:01:43and also the resident vet on The One Show.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48Let me formally welcome you, Tap and Chat. Thank you for coming to challenge the Eggheads.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53I was thinking it through, and we have a lot of celebrity teams,

0:01:53 > 0:01:58- but they come from one chosen discipline and have an expertise... - This is all different.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02That's the whole point. You have all the talents, all our categories -

0:02:02 > 0:02:08entertainment, film and TV, food and drink, science, history...

0:02:08 > 0:02:10That's just me.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Sport and geography, though? Well, geography - you're well-travelled.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Geography's all right.- Sport, hm. - That's going to be a challenge.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22See, I don't know what is going to come up. Shall we quiz and chat?

0:02:22 > 0:02:28Every day, there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, this rolls over to the next show.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, the Eggheads have won the last four games,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44We'll start with the opening round and it's Arts and Books.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49- I'll take one for the team. - Will you?- I will.- Good girl.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Mary-Ann, you have the pleasure of choosing any of those Eggheads -

0:02:53 > 0:02:56they're all untested so far today.

0:02:57 > 0:03:03I'm going to go,... Because this is my first time, I'll go with the new boy, Dave.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, all right. Let's have Mary-Ann and Dave.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Into the Question Room to contest this opening round. It's Arts and Books.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, Mary-Ann, you are a positive Renaissance woman.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20Archaeology, anthropology, scuba-diving, blogging, sailing, TV presenting,...

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Have I left anything out? - I... I quite like dogs and horses.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29We'll add that to the list. Tell me about the blog. What d'you write about?

0:03:29 > 0:03:33It depends. Normally, anthropology of the everyday.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39So, it offers a way of looking at something that you take for granted, but in a new way.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43And challenging some preconceptions we have about how we live our lives.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48How often do you do it? On a daily basis, weekly, or just as and when, as you're moved?

0:03:48 > 0:03:54When I'm blogging for The Independent, it's generally when a piece of inspiration hits me.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59On the sailing race across the Pacific, I made myself blog twice a week,

0:03:59 > 0:04:03because when you're doing four hours on, four hours off,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07if you wait for inspiration, you'll be in California before you've written a word.

0:04:07 > 0:04:13I wanted to ask you about that. That was quite a challenge. How far was it altogether?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15We sailed 6,400 miles,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17through the north Pacific,

0:04:17 > 0:04:20so, unfortunately, no sun and sunshine -

0:04:20 > 0:04:23it was force 10 all the way.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25And, er, rough.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29We've a little challenge - nothing compared to that, physically,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32mentally, yes. Arts and Books. Will you go first or second?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm going to go... second.

0:04:38 > 0:04:45Thinking through the tactics, Mary-Ann, hoping Dave will slip up early on and give you an opening.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Dave, what name is given to a drawing of a person

0:04:49 > 0:04:53in which the features are exaggerated and distorted?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56That's a caricature.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00No messing around. You won't slip on that one. It's the right answer.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You never know, Dermot. - OK, Mary-Ann.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07When Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows was published,

0:05:07 > 0:05:11it brought the number of books in the Harry Potter series to how many?

0:05:12 > 0:05:17I know that there are seven books in the whole series,

0:05:17 > 0:05:19so it can't be 10,

0:05:19 > 0:05:24but I don't know whether The Deathly Hallows was the fifth one or the last one.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29Um, it sounds quite final, doesn't it? Deathly Hallows.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm going to go with seven.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Well worked out, yes. Remembering the titles. Yes, seven.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38The last. Fantastic.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40OK, Dave, second question.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42"I returned from the city about three o'clock

0:05:42 > 0:05:47"on that May afternoon, pretty well disgusted with life" -

0:05:47 > 0:05:50is the first line of which spy novel?

0:05:55 > 0:05:57I don't know.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I'm going to rule out The Riddle Of The Sands.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Thirty-Nine Steps or Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'll go Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, um,...

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Eggheads have not looked over enthusiastically at that answer.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's John Buchan's Thirty-Nine Steps.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- It is The Thirty-Nine Steps. - Fair enough.- Well!

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Mary-Ann, this is what you wanted to happen.- Yes!

0:06:22 > 0:06:27To capitalise on it, you need to get your second question correct and grab the lead.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Who wrote the 2011 Costa Book of the Year, Pure,

0:06:31 > 0:06:33set in pre-Revolutionary France?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Is it...

0:06:37 > 0:06:42I'm afraid I've got no idea either. Sorry, Andrew, David and Christopher

0:06:42 > 0:06:48Um,... I'm going to absolutely go for a stab in the dark

0:06:48 > 0:06:52and I'm going to choose the one on the right - Christopher Brookmyre.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57And Christopher Brookmyre with Pure - it's not. Incorrect.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Dave, any knowledge there? You've two to choose from.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04I'd go for David Almond, but with no conviction.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07There is no conviction. It's Andrew Miller!

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Doing well today(!) - It wasn't your question, luckily.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14But let's see how you do with this one, your third question.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Howard Pinter's play, Betrayal, is a fictional account of his relationship with whom?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25I hope he hasn't had relationships with Esther Rantzen or Sue McGregor,

0:07:25 > 0:07:28or it could be a very difficult question.

0:07:28 > 0:07:34I do seem to remember Joan Bakewell having a dalliance with Harold Pinter,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36so that's my answer - Joan Bakewell.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38And it is correct, you've got it,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41so different situation facing this question, Mary-Ann.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46Last time was to take the lead, this is to draw level. And it's this.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51What flavour sandwich is the subject of a well-known poem by Mandy Coe?

0:07:53 > 0:07:58OK, if I'm going to write a poem about a sandwich,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'm going to write about a cheese-and-pickle sandwich.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06So would Mandy Coe. She did, yes. It's the right answer.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10I don't know - Ode To A Cheese-And-Pickle Sandwich?

0:08:10 > 0:08:15OK, we go to Sudden Death. Dave has been through it many times.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19We make it harder. It's all square after three questions, so we remove the options.

0:08:19 > 0:08:26And this is for Dave. Which of Oscar Wilde's plays features an invented character called Bunbury?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I've never heard of it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'll have to go The Importance of Being Earnest.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32The Importance Of Being Earnest...

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- ..is the right answer.- Oh. Well.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Just think - first Oscar Wilde play that comes in your head.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43OK, well, Mary-Ann. What is the title of the second book

0:08:43 > 0:08:47in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy?

0:08:48 > 0:08:53I know it's the one where the girl and the boy go round the districts

0:08:53 > 0:08:57and something, something... I don't know, fall out, have a fight,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59more people die?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01But it's called...

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Um,...

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I'm afraid I don't know.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Catching Fire. Catching Fire.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16Which means you won't be in the final round. Bad luck, Mary-Ann.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Dave's there. Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Tap and Chat have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Food and Drink is our next category.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29TAP AND CHAT TEAM: Ah!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well, who's going to play this?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Stay with us, Clarissa, because you must choose your Egghead.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Well, I think I have to choose Judith.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Of course.- A contestant worthy.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Ooh!- Fighting talk.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49I think we just might say "It's a buy" and have done with it.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54Say "bye-bye"! I'm saying bye-bye to send you to the Question Room.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's Clarissa and Judith, please.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02So, Clarissa, what would you cook for Judith if you were having her round for supper?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I have the most brilliant fishmonger in Musselburgh,

0:10:05 > 0:10:10so I'd probably cook her a little lobster, because we have a live lobster tank there.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, yes, please. I love that.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- I think that's a date.- Good.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20Food and Drink. You get to choose - would you like to go first or second?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'll go first.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Good luck, Clarissa. First question is this -

0:10:27 > 0:10:33what term refers to high-welfare British veal that has been responsibly produced

0:10:33 > 0:10:38from calves that are fed a variety of foods, giving the meat a pink tinge?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Is it...

0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's rose veal.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47It is, yes. Well done.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- You like fuschia veal, do you? - I think that's very appealing(!)

0:10:51 > 0:10:53OK, Judith, your first question.

0:10:53 > 0:10:58What traditional name is given to the spicy Jamaican seasoning, used to cook chicken and pork dishes?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Is it...

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think that's jerk. Jerk chicken.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Jerk.- Yes, it is, yes. Well done.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I think we've eased you both in with those questions.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10And second one to you, Clarissa.

0:11:10 > 0:11:16The term "prestige cuvet" is normally used to refer to which drink?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Champagne, to go with your lobster.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22It came back round. It is the right answer. You have two.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Judith, which popular Indian dish

0:11:25 > 0:11:30derives its name from the Persian for "fried" or "roasted"?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32HE READS

0:11:33 > 0:11:39Oh, dear. Well, biryani is something with rice, I think.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I don't know what dopiaza is.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm going to say masala.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Masala. What do you think, Clarissa?

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I think it's dopiaza. - Ah, that's interesting,

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- because it's neither of those. - Oh, it's biryani?

0:11:53 > 0:11:58- It is biryani, yes. - A chicken biryani is chicken all done up in rice.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Not separate from rice.- I wouldn't have thought it was fried at all.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Oh, well. Glad you got that question.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Biryani, not identified by Judith,

0:12:08 > 0:12:12giving Clarissa a shot straightaway here at the final round.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Italian zeppole are a form of which food?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18HE READS

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Good Lord. Um,... Well, bomboloni is fried doughnuts, isn't it?

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Um, I honestly don't know. How appalling. Um,...

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I'll go for breaded prawns. - Breaded prawns for zeppole.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38- These are a form, apparently, of fried doughnuts as well.- Oh, really?

0:12:38 > 0:12:43Yes. Well, you still get the round if Judith doesn't get this.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Judith, the rice common to many sushi dishes is known by what name?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49HE READS

0:12:49 > 0:12:53That I don't know, because I don't really like sushi very much.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57I'm going to use the magic right and go down yakumi.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02Yakumi, and yes, obviously with the origin of sushi, that would fit.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06But it's not the right answer. Your magic right has failed you.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Deserted me.- It's the not-so-magic middle. Shari rice.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Which means, Clarissa, you proceed into the final round,

0:13:14 > 0:13:18where you will be playing with Tap and Chat to try to win £5,000.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26As we rather expected, Tap and Chat didn't stay down for long.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30It's all square, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34And our next subject is Music. And who wants to play it?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'll go! I'll go! I know nothing about it, but I'll go.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Really brave.- And I would like...

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Pat.- Pat. OK.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Well, I mean, I can hardly restrain Christine, she's got to go!

0:13:47 > 0:13:50The Question Room. Take Pat with you, please.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Well, Christine, you love weeds, so you're in the right place here, looking at these Eggheads.

0:13:56 > 0:14:01A slap across the chops. I do it for you, it's on your behalf.

0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Just to demoralise them. Have they been asking you for horticultural tips, Christine?- Not many.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10They've been quite laid-back and haven't pounced on me, as yet.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12- It will happen, cos it normally does.- I'm sure.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17That Gardener's Question Time, have you ever been asked a question that completely stumps you?

0:14:17 > 0:14:22Absolutely. It's such a vast subject. How can you know everything?

0:14:22 > 0:14:28I think the skill is being absolutely honest and just answer that you're as thick as bricks.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Right. Well, we'll keep that for Gardener's Question Time.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34In Eggheads, we want you to be smart as a pin.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38And it's Music, which you've bravely volunteered to do.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Right, Christine, here you go.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50The musical West Side Story is mainly set in which US city?

0:14:52 > 0:14:56I don't know, so I'm going to go for Chicago!

0:14:57 > 0:15:02Right. Well, no. West Side was a little bit of a clue there.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's the West Side in New York.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07So, right, Pat.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Lisa Marie Presley married which popstar in 1994?

0:15:14 > 0:15:18I think she's also been married to the actor Nicholas Cage.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21I think she was briefly married to Michael Jackson.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25It is the right answer, yes. Michael Jackson. OK, you have the lead.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Right, we need to get you off the mark, Christine.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30"Every day should be a holiday",

0:15:30 > 0:15:34"We used to be friends" and "Bohemian like you"

0:15:34 > 0:15:37are the titles of UK chart hits by which band?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42You might well ask.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Told you I wasn't musical. Um,...

0:15:45 > 0:15:48I'm going to go for The Art Of The Nose.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Er, The Art Of Noise.- Noise, sorry.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's the Dandy Warhols.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56So Pat has a chance to close this down fairly rapidly.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Pat, who performed "This Must Be The Place" -

0:15:59 > 0:16:03a song which featured in both Wall Street films?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Is it...

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Hm...

0:16:07 > 0:16:09I can't recall the song.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14Of those three bands, Talk Talk are English, Tears For Fears are English

0:16:14 > 0:16:17and Talking Heads are mostly American.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21So, on that very slender basis,

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I will go for Talking Heads.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27OK, on nationality.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29It is the right answer!

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm not sure if the logic's correct, but it doesn't matter.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Bad luck, Christine. Come back, we'll have a chat in the studio.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39You're not in the final round. Pat will be.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:16:42 > 0:16:46OK, the balance slightly tipped now in the Eggheads' favour.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49They have lost one brain but Tap and Chat have now lost two.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52And so to our final head-to-head before that final round.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56This one is Science. You have Joe or Lionel to play it.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Shall I do it?- Yeah.- OK.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Go!- I'll give it a try.- Joe, stay with us and choose your Egghead,

0:17:02 > 0:17:05either from Kev or Baz.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Kev or Baz?- I like that. Kevin or Barry.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Who looks more scientific, do you think?- Baz.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13We're getting a whisper for Baz, so Baz, please.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16OK, Joe and Barry into the Question Room, please.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23Joe, when we knew you were coming, some of the Eggheads' production team - none of us in the studio -

0:17:23 > 0:17:26were saying "He's the bloke from Blue Peter."

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Just slightly after my time, just a year or two.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Lot of pets to look after and advice to hand out.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Absolutely, and they say you should never work with animals or children.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Being a Blue Peter vet contravenes both of those. It was certainly an interesting challenge.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45As you were followed during your time in vet school,

0:17:45 > 0:17:51and then as you started practising, how much pressure was that - the cameras on you all the time?

0:17:51 > 0:17:55I mean, we'd just come out of college, just learnt our trade

0:17:55 > 0:18:01and we're not only worrying about being a vet but then having a TV camera following our every move.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Certainly made it more pressured.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08But we did get used to it. It became part of our lives after a while,

0:18:08 > 0:18:10cos it went on for so long - seven years in total.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Wow. That long. I suppose you got to the stage where if there WASN'T a camera, you were worried.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19"Look, I've just cured this animal... Where's the camera?"

0:18:19 > 0:18:23We've got a camera on you here as you answer these science questions.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:18:30 > 0:18:35Best of luck, Joe. Which of these is a type of computer data storage device?

0:18:37 > 0:18:42Whilst I'd love it to be the wallop drive, or even the bang drive,

0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll have to go with the flash drive.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Good answer. I can confirm that is correct.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Barry, what type of radiation is known by the abbreviation UV?

0:18:55 > 0:19:00It's the other end of the spectrum of visible light. It's ultraviolet.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Yes, it is. One to you.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Joe, straight back to you, then.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09In the periodic table, which element is located beneath lithium

0:19:09 > 0:19:11and above potassium?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Oof! That's quite a tricky one, isn't it? Um,...

0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'm tempted towards barium,

0:19:19 > 0:19:23but not with any great conviction.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28- But I'm going to go with barium. - Tempted but no conviction.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Barry, shaking your head. - No, calcium and barium are in the same group. It's sodium.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37He did reveal to me he's got a chemistry degree, before we came in.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41It rather helps as well. Sodium was the answer we were looking for.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44So Barry has a chance for the lead here.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48What name is given to the type of tree, regularly planted in cities

0:19:48 > 0:19:51because of its resistance to pollution and disease?

0:19:54 > 0:20:00You see a lot of these in cities, especially in London, because they are London planes.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02London plane is correct, so you have that lead.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Joe, you need this. Which creature, found in the Americas,

0:20:06 > 0:20:10has the alternative name yapok, Y-A-P-O-K?

0:20:14 > 0:20:17I have not got a clue, I'm sorry to say.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Um,...

0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'm going to go down the middle with the capybara.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Capybara. Do you know, Barry?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Yes, it's the only marsupial found in North America.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- It's a water opossum.- It is. You're on good form, there, Barry.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36He is good! Very generous of you to admit that, Joe.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41So good that you won't be in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46So this is what we've been playing towards.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's the final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be taking part.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56So, Christine, Mary-Ann and Joe from Tap and Chat,

0:20:56 > 0:21:00and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?

0:21:00 > 0:21:05- Lionel, we didn't get you in the Question Room. - No. My category didn't come up.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Film and TV, I guess? - It was Film and TV for me, really.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- You do remember what I said at the start?- Barry and I...- Yep.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17Barry and you in a tap-off, if we get to Sudden Death.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21OK. Lionel and Clarissa, you're playing to win Tap and Chat £5,000.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something money can't buy - it is your reputation.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:29 > 0:21:35The questions are all General Knowledge, the big difference is you're allowed to confer.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39So, Lionel and Clarissa, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:21:39 > 0:21:44And, Lionel and Clarissa, do you want to go first or second?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46We'd like to go first, please.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53OK, well, try this one out.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58The model Kate Moss was born in a suburb of which city?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03She was born in Croydon in London.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Very precise. - Well done, my man. Yes!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It is the right answer, yes. We even got Croydon as well.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13I only needed London, but suburb identified.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Eggheads, who ran in the US presidential elections

0:22:17 > 0:22:22in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think it's Nader.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30- OK?- Yes. - We think that's Ralph Nader.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33It is Ralph Nader. It's the right answer.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37OK, Clarissa and Lionel, here's the second question.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41who or what is featured in the hologram

0:22:41 > 0:22:45which appears on Bank of England five-pound and 10-pound notes?

0:22:47 > 0:22:51It's not the Queen, because she's on the main note.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55- I think...- Britannia?- Britannia. - I think it's Britannia.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59- I'd say Britannia, yeah. - We think it's Britannia.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Britannia in the hologram. Queen on the other side, obviously.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Tudor Rose you've skipped by and got the right answer. Well done.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Well done! Yes! - Britannia. Two to you.

0:23:08 > 0:23:14Eggheads, what is the literal translation of the Latin saying "Festina lente" -

0:23:14 > 0:23:17often attributed to the Emperor Augustus.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Is it...

0:23:22 > 0:23:25It's "Make haste slowly."

0:23:25 > 0:23:28"Make haste slowly." It is the right answer.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30So it's all square.

0:23:30 > 0:23:35Getting close to the point where the fate of the money will be decided.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Clarissa and Lionel, listen up.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39"When you are old and grey and full of sleep

0:23:39 > 0:23:42"And nodding by the fire, take down this book" -

0:23:42 > 0:23:45are the opening lines of a poem by which writer?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47WB Yeats.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52We think - well, Clarissa's help - WB Yeats.

0:23:52 > 0:23:57WB Yeats. I heard you saying it before the options came up.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59He's one of my favourite poets.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02That's fallen very nicely indeed. Yeats is the right answer.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Fantastic stuff. The Eggheads really under pressure here now.

0:24:06 > 0:24:12In which country is the southern European observatory's VLT, or Very Large Telescope?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I think it's in the Atacama.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Not aware of anything in Uruguay or Bolivia. It's in the Atacama.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22- That's in Chile, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27There are lots of telescopes, run by all sorts of countries in Chile,

0:24:27 > 0:24:32because the conditions in the Atacama desert particularly favour

0:24:32 > 0:24:34good observation of the skies. So, it's Chile.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37It is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40So it's all square and we do go to Sudden Death.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44And, right, you know what that means. Can't show you any options.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49Which country granted chess grandmaster, Bobby Fischer, political asylum

0:24:49 > 0:24:53from 2005 until his death in 2008?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Was that America? - No, no, because he was American.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00- He was expelled from America... - Oh, of course.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03..because he was supporting the Communists.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- So it must be a Communist country. - A Communist-leaning country.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- I think it was over this side. - Or would it be Cuba?

0:25:11 > 0:25:14No, I don't think it was Cuba.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I don't think he'd have gone to live in Cuba.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21I thought it was, well, not Russia but somewhere like that.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Um,...- Ukraine.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Right, shall we try that? - Yes, let's try that.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31We're not too sure but we think it must be a communistic place...

0:25:31 > 0:25:33We're going to try the Ukraine.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38OK, Ukraine for Bobby Fischer's political asylum, his exile,

0:25:38 > 0:25:42as you described, from the United States, 2005 till 2008.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- It's incorrect. - I thought it probably was.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Do you know, Eggheads? - Iceland.- Iceland.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- It's Iceland.- Iceland!- Ooh! - Now, why Iceland?

0:25:50 > 0:25:56- He played a big match there. - He played a huge match in the early '70s against Spassky.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59He married a Japanese lady and was in Japan for some time.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04The US was trying to get hold of him and they went to Iceland and they granted him citizenship,

0:26:04 > 0:26:08which meant he couldn't be extradited. He's buried there.

0:26:08 > 0:26:13- It's not over. The Eggheads need to get this correct.- They probably will

0:26:13 > 0:26:18In the United States, Quad Cities is the name given to a group of cities

0:26:18 > 0:26:20that straddle which river?

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- There's twin cities on the... - Mississippi, yeah.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Could there be two sets of twin cities?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Quad. You've also got, um... - Straddle which river?

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Nothing to do with quad, as in university rectangle?

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Nothing to do with the Charles River? No?

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Well, um...- Harvard.- No.- No.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Well, I don't know, but I think...

0:26:43 > 0:26:47If we can't think of anything relating to the Mississippi,

0:26:47 > 0:26:52I'd be inclined more to go for the Charles, but I don't know why.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Four cities on the Charles? I struggle to think. Cambridge...

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Shall we go for the Mississippi as the percentage?

0:26:59 > 0:27:04We don't know it, so we'll try a percentage thing and just go for...

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Just go for the Mississippi. - Mississippi, you're saying?

0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Why's that a percentage? Because it's such a big river? - There are lots of things along it.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14OK. Right. Your percentage guess...

0:27:15 > 0:27:18..is correct, Eggheads! You've won.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Ah!- Well done, Eggheads.- Well done.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Well done, you two. That was really exciting stuff.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- The tap-off begins now! - Right. Off you go, Lionel.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35It's been fantastic having you here. We really appreciate it.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I've been very proud to be on the programme. I love it.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Absolutely love the show. - The pride goes the other way.

0:27:42 > 0:27:47We're proud to have you here - honoured to have you all here, playing the Eggheads.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Lionel and I are devote watchers. - We're devoted watchers.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Now you know the horrible truth. Don't tell everyone.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:27:58 > 0:28:00and they still reign supreme over Quizland.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04You haven't won the £5,000 so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a team of sporting greats,

0:28:11 > 0:28:15captained by Gareth Chilcott, have the brains to defeat our Eggheads.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17£6,000 says they don't.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Until then, goodbye.
