0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:30 > 0:00:34against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And challenging our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:37 > 0:00:40are What A Shower. This team of famous faces
0:00:40 > 0:00:46from the world of weather presenting have nothing to worry about going up against the Eggheads.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50After some high pressure leading to possible periods of dense fog,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I forecast brighter spells and a fine outcome.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57As for the Eggheads, I'm expecting the usual - a lot of hot air.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59LAUGHTER
0:00:59 > 0:01:04- Let's meet the challengers. - I'm John Kettley. If you believe the song, I'm a weatherman.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Suzanne Charlton. I was a BBC weather person
0:01:08 > 0:01:10from the late '80s up until 2007
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and I was famous for standing on a box because I'm short.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Hi, I'm Jim Bacon. I was a TV weatherman from 1978 to 1986.
0:01:19 > 0:01:26Hi, I'm Penny Tranter and I was a weather presenter for 16 years between 1992 and 2008.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31I still work in weather and was a weather forecaster at London 2012.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Hi, Francis Wilson. I'm an ex-TV newsroom weatherman,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Thames News in the '70s,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40BBC News in the '80s,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Sky News until recently.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Welcome to you, What A Shower.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50So, John, you put the word out and said, "Weather team, assemble, we'll beat the Eggheads"?
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Yeah, we're the ones. We've jumped through a few hoops to come up with this title - What A Shower.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01It's based on the fact that if the public chose a team for us, it would be far more insulting.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- This is as good as it's going to be. - Let's get started with the quiz.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17What A Shower, the Eggheads have won the last eight games
0:02:17 > 0:02:21which now means £9,000 says you can't defeat the Eggheads.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25There's one subject you all will be fighting to do, which is Science.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I don't know if that'll come up, but our first one is Geography.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Also, I'm sure, plenty of you will be qualified for Geography.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Who wants to do Geography? - I'll do it.- You fancy it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Francis?- I don't mind.- Shall we let John do it?- Can we both do it? - You do it, John.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- LAUGHTER - I'll do it, Dermot.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- OK, straight into the fray with John. You choose your Egghead. Who do you want to challenge?- Oh, dear.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Dave.- OK, right, the two nearest to me.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It's John and Dave playing this one and off you go.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04John playing for nine grand today and John Kettley Is A Weatherman -
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- who sang it, John?- A Tribe Of Toffs wrote the song in 1988, Dermot.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- A Tribe Of Toffs?- One-hit wonders.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16The follow-up song was called Oh, No, Terry Wogan's On Television Again and he wouldn't endorse it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22That's a quiz question - who sang it? Not in this round, it isn't. It's Geography.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Would you like to go first or second? The challenger always chooses.- I'll go first, Dermot.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Here's your first question.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36What is the main Asian language spoken in Hong Kong?
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Well, you would think the obvious one would be Cantonese, Dermot.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- That's the one you're going for? - Yes.- Indeed it is. Quite right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52One to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Dave, what equestrian term is given to a pass or ridge between two peaks?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I hope it's a saddle.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Yeah, it is. You're right.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- We're just easing you in there. - OK.- Not that you need any easing.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12John is now perfectly at his ease.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Second question. What name is given to the remote outback of Australia?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I used to think when I was watching quiz programmes on TV
0:04:23 > 0:04:26that the answer was always the one in the middle.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Never-Never, Witchetty, Coolibah...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I have to say my headache's coming on.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Never-Never, Witchetty...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I'll go Coolibah, please, Dermot.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44OK, Coolibah for the remote outback of Australia... Eggheads?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Never-Never.- Coolibah is a tree. - Coolibah is a tree.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52It's Never-Never. You never know what Dave will do with his next one.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Let's see if it stays all-square.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The Isle of Sheppey lies off the coast of which county?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Kent.- You lot, that would have been so easy.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07You're pointing at it all the time on your maps.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's the correct answer. It means you need this, John.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15The Canadian province of Manitoba has a coastline on which body of water?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I don't want to be here any more.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You'll get it - Manitoba.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Manitoba...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Canada was never my strength.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33We've got to go for Hudson Bay, Dermot. Hudson Bay, please. Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- You must have done plenty of global forecasting.- Yes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39But it doesn't show, does it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41It is the right answer. It does show now.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45But Dave has a chance to get into the final round with this answer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Dave, which country has the highest population density in South America?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I don't know,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58but I would hazard a guess at Uruguay.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK. Do you know, it's not Uruguay.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Do you know, other Eggheads? - Ecuador.- Ecuador.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Ecuador, I didn't know. - Well, now you do.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09That's fantastic news for John.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14You're playing for a place in the final round, but as it's all-square after three questions,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18we're going to make it harder for you and remove the options.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21We've just got to hear the answer from you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The Lipari or Aeolian Islands belong to which European country?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Lipari or Aeolian.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31You're talking as if it's a south Europe thing.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35You're almost talking as if it might be...
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Italian?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Italy is the right answer. Well done. Lipari, yes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Dave, the George Washington Bridge connects New Jersey with which borough of New York City?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I should know this, but I don't.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Brooklyn.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- OK, Brooklyn...- Wrong?
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- It is wrong. It is...- Manhattan? - The big one, yeah. Manhattan.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK. Look at that, what a turn-around!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05There we were, looking defeat in the face,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10and suddenly, you're through to the final round and it's Dave we say goodbye to.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16What a thunderous start by What A Shower,
0:07:16 > 0:07:22John storming into the final round there and knocking out Dave, so the Eggheads are missing one brain.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Our second round today then is Science.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28A lot of trained scientists there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34- Who would like to play this? - I think Jim.- You're all experts at Science.- Shall I do it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Jim fancies it?- I'm going to be it. I shall do Science.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Jim, choose your Egghead. Remember, it can't be Dave.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I think I might ask Daphne to join me for Science.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Let's see what happens - Jim and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Jim, when you got into weather forecasting, you must have started out with the fuzzy felt symbols
0:07:57 > 0:08:01or magnetic things. Now it's all hi-tech.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06My first television weather was with those magnetic, rubber, stick-on weather symbols
0:08:06 > 0:08:12and to make weather move, you had to have a handful of them and put them on in a certain order on the chart,
0:08:12 > 0:08:18which is all very well, but if you've got a mixture of bits of sun, bits of cloud and stuff like that...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I did eventually get awarded a Golden Egg Award by Noel Edmonds
0:08:22 > 0:08:28for putting a sunshine symbol on a "tonight" chart which was my prime piece of forecasting.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33OK, bring a bit more sunshine to What A Shower after that performance by John.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- First or second?- I think I'll follow John's lead and go first, please.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44OK, trying to knock Daphne out. Jim, first question.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50The condition jaundice is usually characterised by a complexion of what colour?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Hmm... Um...
0:08:55 > 0:08:58When you see people who have a purple complexion,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02that implies a high blood pressure, so I don't think it's that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I think grey, you just look ill, like a cloudy day with rain,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09so I'm not sure I'd use that...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'll have to go for "yellow" on this occasion.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15We've just been talking about those sunny colours.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17"Yellow" is the right answer, yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19OK, good start.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Daphne, sudoresis is a medical term for the excessive onset of which bodily process?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I think that's sweating.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It's what you make some contestants facing you in the question room do.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Oh, no.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's the right answer, anyway. Daphne, you have one.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42And back to you, Jim.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Second question. Which of these is another name for the binturong,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50a tree-dwelling mammal native to south Asia?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58That is something I've never heard of.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I think I'm probably going to remove bearcat from that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Wolfrat, I don't think I'll use.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11It's either pandabat, which sounds too contrived to be the real one...
0:10:11 > 0:10:16So I might just move back along the line towards bearcat.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18OK, it's correct. Bearcat, yes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Well played, Jim.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Good change of your mind there.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Sir Christopher Wren, Samuel Pepys and Sir Humphrey Davy all served as President of which organisation?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I think that's the Royal Society.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39OK, the Royal Society.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's the correct answer.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Jim, you're going really well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:51I hope you know this one. Georg Ohm, after whom the unit for measuring electrical resistance is named,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53was born in which modern-day country?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59That is something I should know,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01but I'm not absolutely sure.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08I've got a feeling I might choose Hungary.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11OK, Hungary for Georg Ohm. He was born in...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15..Germany. Germany.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Which gives Daphne a chance here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Daphne, which of these words best describes limaciform creatures?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Well, we've been plagued with them
0:11:29 > 0:11:31and they are slugs.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Horrible creatures. Ate all my bedding plants.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It is slug-like.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43It's the right answer. You're through to the final round.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Bad luck, Jim. Three-two. It means you won't be in the final round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56That's just levelled it up. Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Round Three is History. Who's left there?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Oh, Suzanne, Penny or Francis.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Who wants to make an Egghead history?- Not many volunteers.- No.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- I'll do it if you like, but I don't know anything about History. - No-one else wants to do it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17- I'm the oldest. I'm doing it. - OK, Francis, choose your Egghead - Chris, Barry or Pat.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'll take the youngest - Chris. LAUGHTER
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Even Chris looked astonished at that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Let's have Francis and Chris into the question room, please.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Francis, when you got into weather forecasting,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32there was a certain formality about it
0:12:32 > 0:12:35which you kind of helped to break down.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Was that a conscious decision or just the way you do it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:45I was encouraged to be a bit more entertaining because weather forecasts were a bit of a joke then.
0:12:45 > 0:12:51They didn't really expect too much, the viewers. They needed something that was slightly entertaining.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57It's changed though now, hasn't it? Weather forecasts, most people will take note of them.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK, History. Would you like to go first or second, Francis?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03First, thanks, yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Here's your first question, Francis.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13In AD 37, Caligula succeeded Tiberius as Emperor of which civilisation?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh, dear.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I don't know, really.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23When a question's beyond my power to answer,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27it never usually occurs to me and this one never has before.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I guess Roman. I'll go for Roman. - Yeah, it is. Roman, yes, it is.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Caligula...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36All right, good start.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And your first question, Chris.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Whom did Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's principal adviser,
0:13:42 > 0:13:47describe as "a fearful man to the King of Spain" for his daring sea raids?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53El Draque, as the Spanish called him, Francis Drake.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Yeah. Francis Bacon wasn't really noted...- Not really.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01..for his Elizabethan raids on the Spanish. It is the right answer.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Francis Drake. And over to Francis Wilson.
0:14:05 > 0:14:12Which English king seized John of Gaunt's estates after his death in 1399?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I think it's Richard II.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23It is Richard II. Brilliant.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Two out of two.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Chris, the Battle of Milne Bay was part of which conflict?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38It doesn't ring any bells as World War II.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42The Second Boer War was fought on land.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46So I'll have to go with the American Civil War.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Plenty of sea battles in that, weren't there?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- A few, yeah.- People concentrate, obviously, on what went on on land.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- But it's not the right answer. - What?- Other Eggheads?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- World War II?- It's World War II.- Oh.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02This is great news, Francis.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05A great chance to get you through.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10At which naval battle did Nelson reportedly ignore the signal to disengage,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13saying, "I really do not see the signal"?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Search me! I think it's Copenhagen.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- It is Copenhagen.- Brilliant!
0:15:26 > 0:15:31So, Francis, "I'm no good at History," struggling with Caligula,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I know what you were doing there!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35"Or maybe he was Egyptian."
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Yeah, yeah, of course he was(!)
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Sailing into the final round
0:15:41 > 0:15:46with that Nelson answer and has blown Chris out of the water. He doesn't even face another question.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:49 > 0:15:55So, as it stands, What A Shower are rather raining on the Eggheads' parade.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Two Eggheads missing now and only one member of What A Shower.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Our last subject before the final round is Music.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Suzanne or Penny to play.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- Do you want me to go and do it? - Do you want to do it? - Yeah, I'll do it.- Well done, Penny.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15OK, Penny stepping up there. Pick your Egghead - Pat or Barry.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- I'll go for Barry, please.- All right.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Let's have Penny and Barry in the question room now, please.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Penny, of all the jobs you've done,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I would guess that pretty close to the top of your list
0:16:28 > 0:16:32would be that forecasting for the London 2012 Olympics.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Yes, it was brilliant fun. We were working down in Weymouth for the sailing events.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Most of the time, the weather behaved itself. We only lost a couple of days because the winds were too light.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Those sea dogs know quite a lot about it themselves.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50They stick a finger in the air and say, "Arr, there be a wind comin'!"
0:16:50 > 0:16:56We had plenty of that, but also we were a good forecast team and we had good models as well. It was all good.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Make this all good and this will be a storming performance if we can get you through, Penny.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Music. You choose if you want to go first or second.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I'll follow everybody else's lead and go first, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:18Good luck, Penny. What is the first name of the One Direction band member with the surname Styles?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I don't think it's Barry.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I don't think it's Larry. I'm going to go with Harry.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Harry?- Yeah. - It's the correct answer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31OK, good start.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Barry, first question. In the words of the children's song,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38the feathers of the ugly duckling are described as what?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47"There once was an ugly duckling with feathers all..."
0:17:50 > 0:17:53# There once was an ugly duckling... #
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Shabby and grey.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Are you describing your answer? That's what it is, very shabby.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Oh, dear.- Stubby and brown.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07OK, well...
0:18:07 > 0:18:13Early days, but, Penny, a very positive start from your point of view. And your next question...
0:18:13 > 0:18:19Haircut 100 had a 1982 UK hit single with which song?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I think Perfect Day was done by Lou Reed,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30so I'm not going to go for Perfect Day.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I think I'll go with Beautiful Day although I'm not 100% sure.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40It's not Penny, no. It is... Barry?
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- Fantastic Day?- Yeah, you're not sure. It is Fantastic Day by Haircut 100.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It would have been a fantastic day for Penny if she had got that,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52but it could stay that way if Barry messes this up.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56In which country did the musical genre K-pop originate?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00K-pop...
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Kenya's not renowned for its pop groups. Neither is Kazakhstan.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But South Korea has come to the fore recently.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11There was Gangnam by Psy,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14so I think K-pop might come from South Korea.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Yes, South Korea with K-pop, so you are back in it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19All-square, though.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24What was the first name of the jazz musician and band leader Count Basie?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Gosh, this is a difficult one. I really don't have an idea at all.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I'm going to go with Thomas.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38No, it's not. Barry, do you know?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Was it Edward Kennedy Basie?- No. - It was William.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Yes.- It must be the other one then!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Right, OK, Barry, showing an unassured touch.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Let's hope you apply it to this one because you're in a position to win the round here if you get this.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02When The Sex Pistols gave the now notorious live televised interview with Bill Grundy in 1976,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06they were a stand-in for which other group who had cancelled?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I remember that interview well, but who cancelled?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Who is least like The Sex Pistols there?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Let's go for Bay City Rollers. - The Bay City Rollers...
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, you know what?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- It's wrong. It's Queen.- Oh.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It is Queen.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's not all over, this round.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33It's all-square and we go into Sudden Death and remove the options,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36so, Penny, which Canadian pop singer
0:20:36 > 0:20:40had a UK number one album in 2012 with Believe?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Oh, golly! My children are going to be so disappointed.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Um...
0:20:47 > 0:20:52I just can't think of anybody apart from Neil Young and I don't think that's right!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yes, 2012, Canadian pop singer...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Lady Gaga. I really don't know.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01OK, not Lady Gaga. Barry, do you know?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04His fan group are Beliebers. It's Justin Bieber.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Justin Bieber, yes. You're getting a lot of those questions about the young male singers.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Well, a chance then again, Barry.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Good Feeling, Wild Ones and Whistle are UK top five singles by which singer
0:21:18 > 0:21:23whose stage name bears a close resemblance to that of an American state?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25These are all singles by Flo Rida.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Flo Rida which, of course, looks like Florida.- Mm-hm.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It is the right answer.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Bad luck, Penny. You're not in the final round.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42We've had some fantastic rounds. I wonder what the final round holds?
0:21:42 > 0:21:49We'll find out. This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:21:53 > 0:22:00so, Jim and Penny from What A Shower and Dave and Chris from the Eggheads, leave the studio, please.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06So, John, Suzanne and Francis, you're playing to win What A Shower £9,000.
0:22:06 > 0:22:13Daphne, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25What A Shower, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28What A Shower, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- First again?- First.- It's worked so far. Can we go first, please?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Let's hope it works here.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38First question then to What A Shower.
0:22:38 > 0:22:45On British roads, a brown direction sign for a zoo features a depiction of which creature?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- It's an elephant.- Yeah. - Definitely an elephant.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's an elephant.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- It is, yes, the right answer. - You never forget.- Exactly.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Well, a good start there for What A Shower.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05The films Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and 28 Days Later
0:23:05 > 0:23:08were all made by which British-born film director?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Danny Boyle.- Danny Boyle, yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16They're all by Danny Boyle.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Danny Boyle is correct, Eggheads. Back to What A Shower.
0:23:20 > 0:23:27Which Director-General of the BBC was made Minister of Information by Neville Chamberlain in 1940?
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- I would have said John...Lord Reith. - John Reith.- Lord John Reith.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Are we happy with that? - John Reith. I'm sure it is.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I can't think of anybody else.- Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44We're going to plump for John Reith.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48John Reith. I heard you saying later Lord Reith. It's the right answer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You have two. OK, Eggheads,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53what is the meaning of "vainglorious"?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I think it's boastful.- Boastful.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- That was my first thought.- Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- It's not deceitful.- No. - Or hateful.- No, it's boastful.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Boastful.- Vainglorious...
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It's what I call you every day. That's the right answer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's all-square.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15This could decide the fate of the game.
0:24:15 > 0:24:22So, What A Shower, Chambertin is the name of a Grand Cru vineyard in which French wine region?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Doesn't it sound like champagne?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Aren't Bordeaux and Burgundy the same?- They are in my book.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35In that case, why could it be those? It would be the other answer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- Champagne sounds the closest to it. - I would go for Champagne.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- We would go for Champagne.- Right. We'll keep our fingers crossed
0:24:44 > 0:24:48that we might be popping corks later and go for Champagne, please.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50There's a "Cham" in Chambertin.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- It's wrong.- It's the wrong answer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Do you know, Eggheads? - I'd be tempted to go for Burgundy.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01It is a very fine Burgundy, yeah. Well, a chance, Eggheads, to win.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Amongst other projects, the 17th century Dutch artist Jan van der Heyden
0:25:06 > 0:25:09helped to improve what aspect of Amsterdam life?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Street lighting in the 17th century? Sounds a little early for that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- I don't know.- Ambulance service?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Could be.- It's possible, but...
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- I'd go for "drainage".- Yeah. - A bit tenuous, but yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30We don't know. It's a bit tenuous, but we'll go for "drainage".
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- But it's not the right answer. It is street lighting.- Oh.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Yes, street lighting with Jan van der Heyden.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45Live to fight another day! It's as if the whole quiz could pivot on just one Sudden Death question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50If you get this correct, it will put the pressure back on the Eggheads.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56Which American folk hero, who died in 1836, was known as the King of the Wild Frontier?
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Which American folk hero, who died in 1836, was known as the King of the Wild Frontier?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- He was there at that time.- I'll not sing it though, shall I not?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- # Davy, Davy Crockett - King of the Wild Frontier... #
0:26:11 > 0:26:17- She's away now.- I'll accept that as your answer if that's what you're giving me?- We'll go for that.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Davy Crockett is the right answer, King of the Wild Frontier.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Eggheads, you need this then
0:26:22 > 0:26:25or your unbeaten streak is over.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Which photographer took the official portrait photographs for the engagement
0:26:30 > 0:26:33of Prince William and Kate Middleton?
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- Is Lord Snowdon still a photographer?- No. - No, I don't think it was him.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- It wasn't Lichfield. - It wasn't Mary McCartney?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- She does photography, but I don't think it was her.- Oh, goodness!
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It wasn't Mario Testino, no?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- It could be.- I don't know.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Mary McCartney?- Mary McCartney?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Yeah.- It's a very long shot.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03- Yeah, I had a suspicion at the back of my mind it might have been somebody female.- OK.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're in trouble here, Dermot.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Big trouble. We're going to go for Mary McCartney.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13OK, Mary McCartney, the photographer who took the official photographs
0:27:13 > 0:27:17for the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton...
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It was Mario Testino. - Oh, the other one! I said it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You've beaten the Eggheads!
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- And you said Mario Testino, Daphne, in the discussions.- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- How does that feel? - That's wonderful.- A great relief.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42I could feel something in the air when you came in. You started as a shower, moved into a downpour,
0:27:42 > 0:27:48- then became a torrent that swept the Eggheads away.- It's all for a good cause.- Tell me about that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- Where is the money going to go? - We've chosen to split it between two different charities.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57The first is Riding For The Disabled and we've chosen another charity
0:27:57 > 0:28:03which is a national children's charity of hospices, a range of hospices, Short Lives.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Fantastic use being put to that money. Thank you very much for winkling it out of the Eggheads.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14What a game! Congratulations as well to Penny and Jim who were so unlucky in the head-to-heads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19It could have been more balanced in your favour in that final round. Didn't need to be.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Look what you've done to the Eggheads! Congratulations. You've won £9,000 for your charities.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads. You've proved it can be done.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Join us next time when it's the turn of a team of national treasures
0:28:34 > 0:28:37to see if they will be just as successful.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Until then, goodbye.
