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.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:28 > 0:00:32attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:38They have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40And challenging our quiz Goliaths

0:00:40 > 0:00:43are We Had A Plan from Cardiff.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46They all work for the same engineering company.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Their team name refers to the plan they devised to beat the Eggheads.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Unfortunately, they've forgotten what it was. Let's meet them.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, my name is Danielle. I'm 24 and I'm an environmental consultant.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Helen. I'm 29 and I'm also an environmental consultant.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 31 and I'm an ecologist.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Helen, I'm 37 and I'm a civil engineer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Sam, I'm 23 and I'm a transport planner.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16So, Danielle and friends, welcome. Thank you. Hello.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21This is interesting. You had a plan. Did you even write it down? No.

0:01:21 > 0:01:28Once you write it down, you're just tempting fate. You just need to keep it in the air and fluid.

0:01:28 > 0:01:34Is this the way your engineering company works, and if so, how is it still in business? Oh, no.

0:01:34 > 0:01:39No, obviously, in our professional environment, we're far more, um...

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Solid? Yeah. Professional. You have plans that are written down?

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Yes, contracts and everything.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Good luck. Every day, ?1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55But if they fail to beat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00So, We Had A Plan, the Eggheads have won the last three games

0:02:00 > 0:02:04and that means ?4,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:04 > 0:02:10Would you like to try? Yes, we would. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13What's the plan? Not me.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18Helen, how do you feel about it? Not confident, but I'll give it a go if need be. OK, Helen.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22That's good enough for me. Helen against who?

0:02:22 > 0:02:28Daphne. So, it's Helen from We Had A Plan versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Politics.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now in the question room.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38Good luck, Helen. Thank you. Three questions, multiple choice.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43You can choose the first or second set on Politics. I think I'll go first.

0:02:46 > 0:02:53Helen, which 16-year-old memorably gave a speech at the 1977 Conservative Party conference?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Well, I don't quite remember the speech,

0:03:01 > 0:03:05but he went on to become the leader of the Conservative Party.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08That would be William Hague.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yes, William Hague is the answer.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Your question, Daphne.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19TASS was the official news agency of which country for the majority of the 20th century?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's the Soviet Union.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31It's the Soviet Union. Well done.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39Helen, in 1997, Gordon Brown unveiled his five economic tests

0:03:39 > 0:03:45that would have to be passed before the government would commit to what course of action?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, I'm not 100% sure on this,

0:03:54 > 0:03:58but I suspect it's probably joining the euro.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Completely right. Well done.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07Daphne, which US President was also a noted inventor

0:04:07 > 0:04:13and once famously said, "Science is my passion, politics my duty"?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24I think that was Thomas Jefferson.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Jefferson is right. OK, Helen, over to you. Press the advantage.

0:04:28 > 0:04:34By what name did Samuel Wurzelbacher come to be known by the world's press

0:04:34 > 0:04:39after he challenged Barack Obama about his tax proposals

0:04:39 > 0:04:42in October 2008?

0:04:46 > 0:04:51Again not 100% sure, but Joe the Plumber does ring a bell,

0:04:51 > 0:04:54so I'm going to go with that one.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59Yes, Samuel was Joe the Plumber. Well done.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Three out of three and a very enthusiastic team.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Daphne, to stay in the contest,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09which political building, designed by the architect Miralles,

0:05:09 > 0:05:14has places of contemplation known as "think pods"

0:05:14 > 0:05:18built into the offices of elected officials?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31I think that's the Scottish Parliament Building.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Scottish Parliament Building is correct.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Perfect round for you both.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40We move off multiple choice and go to sudden death now, Helen.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44It gets a bit harder. You have to give me the answer.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Which businessman is believed to have said to a Cuban-based reporter,

0:05:48 > 0:05:52"You provide the pictures, I'll provide the war,"

0:05:52 > 0:05:56in the latter part of the 19th century?

0:05:56 > 0:06:01The name William Hearst has just popped into my head

0:06:01 > 0:06:05and I'm not sure if that's the right answer, but I'm gonna go with that.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09You're right. Well done.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Fantastic.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18Daphne, the House of Keys is the name of the Lower House of Parliament

0:06:18 > 0:06:23of which Crown dependency of the United Kingdom?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's the Isle of Man.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29That's right. Helen, fighting hard.

0:06:29 > 0:06:35In the House of Lords, what term for the members who do not take a party whip

0:06:35 > 0:06:42is derived from the placing of the seating arrangements traditionally occupied by them?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Would that be the backbenchers?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50No, it's crossbenchers.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Over to you, Daphne.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58In the United States, who is the only Presidential candidate in the 20th century

0:06:58 > 0:07:03to receive the largest share of the popular vote

0:07:03 > 0:07:05while losing the electoral college?

0:07:07 > 0:07:10That's got to be someone who's lost...

0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm trying to think of losing candidates.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think it's...

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Al Gore. Al Gore is right, Daphne.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Al Gore is right.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Which election, remember?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yes, it was the one with the chads.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40The chavs? The chads.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Against Bush in 2000. Yes.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48That was a close round. Well done, Daphne.

0:07:48 > 0:07:54Sorry, Helen, you fought so hard, but you won't be able to play in the final round.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:07:57 > 0:08:03A tough round, that. As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07The Eggheads have lost no brains. Next subject, Arts Books.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Who wants this? Dave?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I don't mind it. I think you're our best chance.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Look around. Yeah, I don't mind.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22Dave against which Egghead? Can't be Daphne. What about Chris?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah. Go on then. I'll have Chris, please.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30Dave from We Had A Plan versus Chris from the Eggheads, please take your positions.

0:08:30 > 0:08:37I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts Books. You can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39I've been advised to go second.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42That's fine with us.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Here we go, Chris. What type of animal is Curious George,

0:08:46 > 0:08:53the protagonist of a popular series of books for children by Hans Augusto and Margaret Rey?

0:08:58 > 0:09:03He's a monkey. Correct. Over to you, Dave.

0:09:03 > 0:09:10What is the occupation of Archie Rice in John Osborne's 1957 play, The Entertainer?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Um, going by the date...

0:09:20 > 0:09:25..I'm gonna go for music hall performer over film director.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Because it's a 1957 kind of thing? Yeah. You're right.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well done.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Over to you, Chris.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner is a short story

0:09:40 > 0:09:42by which writer?

0:09:45 > 0:09:50That is by the Nottinghamshire novelist Alan Sillitoe.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52That's the correct answer.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Dave, your question.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58In which year was the artist Gustav Klimt born?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Well...

0:10:06 > 0:10:08He was around in...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm gonna go with 1862.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Eggheads...? Yeah. You're right.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Two points each.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Chris, your question.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Self-Portrait With Saskia is a noted work by which Dutch artist?

0:10:31 > 0:10:37Well, Saskia was the girl he lived with in his old age,

0:10:37 > 0:10:39so it's Rembrandt.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Rembrandt is correct.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45You have to get this right, Dave, to stay in it.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48"And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps

0:10:48 > 0:10:53"Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots"

0:10:53 > 0:10:56are lines written by which poet?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Um...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I'm not 100% sure, to be perfectly honest,

0:11:08 > 0:11:13but something is telling me to go for TS Eliot, so I'll do that.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15TS Eliot is absolutely right.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20So we've had three questions each. We move to sudden death.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24It gets that bit harder. Chris, your question.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30Which Shakespeare play ends with the principal characters preparing for the double wedding

0:11:30 > 0:11:34of Beatrice and Benedick and Hero and Claudio?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37That is Much Ado About Nothing.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Yes, it is.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Sorry, Dave, there's no letting up here. That's all right.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Get this right to stay in.

0:11:46 > 0:11:51Fear Of Flying is a 1973 book by which author?

0:11:52 > 0:11:551970...

0:11:55 > 0:11:57'73.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04I haven't got a clue, I'm afraid.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I don't know, I'm afraid. I'll go with Irvine Welsh.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Irvine Welsh...

0:12:12 > 0:12:16That's wrong. Chris, do you know? Erica Jong? Erica Jong is right.

0:12:16 > 0:12:21So, Dave, I'm sorry. You've been knocked out by our Egghead.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25You will not be in the final round. Chris, you will be in the final.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do, both of you, come back to the studio.

0:12:28 > 0:12:34The Challengers have lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37The next subject is Music. Who wants this?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39That's between Helen and Sam.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Helen should do it because Sport might come up. Yeah.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46And I can cover Science. Science? Yeah.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51Go on, I'll do it. The other Helen. I'll do it. Which one?

0:12:51 > 0:12:59Not Daphne, not Chris. Judith. So, it's Helen from We Had A Plan versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Please take your positions.

0:13:01 > 0:13:08Good luck. Three questions. Thank you. Whoever gets the most right goes through to the final, of course.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11You can choose the first or second set. I'll go first.

0:13:14 > 0:13:20Hungry Like The Wolf and The Reflex were UK hit singles in the 1980s for which group?

0:13:26 > 0:13:31I know there's gonna be some people at work screaming at me,

0:13:31 > 0:13:34shouting the answer to this when they watch it.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37I don't think it's Duran Duran.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41I'm not quite sure.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I can't remember Haircut 100 and what they sang.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'll go with ABC, actually.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm thinking, you were born 19...?

0:13:52 > 0:13:56'79. '79. So you have got an alibi.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Yes, and I'll take that. For getting it wrong.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03Yeah, Duran Duran is the answer. Oh, no, Lee's gonna hate me!

0:14:05 > 0:14:12Judith, Greatest Day was a UK No.1 hit single in December 2008 for which band?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20I really should know that. This is a list I'm supposed to have learnt.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24I think it might be Westlife.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27How far down the list did you get?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, perhaps not far enough.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33You didn't get to T. Oh. It's Take That. Is it?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35OK, Helen.

0:14:35 > 0:14:41In 1966, Uptight (Everything's Alright) was the debut hit single of which vocalist?

0:14:46 > 0:14:50If it's the person I think it is, I have their CD.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53And I'm just trying to sing it to myself.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I wonder if it is on that CD?

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I haven't got any Bob Dylan or Ray Charles,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02so I'm thinking it's Stevie Wonder

0:15:02 > 0:15:05cos I was listening to it in the car the other day.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Let's go for Stevie. Stevie's right.

0:15:11 > 0:15:17Judith, Always True To You In My Fashion and You're The Top are songs written by whom?

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Ella Fitzgerald sang...

0:15:24 > 0:15:28I think it might be on the Cole Porter Songbook.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think it's Cole Porter.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Cole Porter is correct.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Well done.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42OK, Helen, we need this one. Pressure! Pressure!

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Which British composer, born in 1944,

0:15:47 > 0:15:53is well known for his collaborations with the avant-garde film-maker Peter Greenaway?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Right. Um...

0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'm just trying to remember what Michael Nyman did

0:16:08 > 0:16:12cos the name's familiar and I'm just trying to work it back.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17It was 1944... How old does that make him now?

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Well, I tell you what, I'll go for Michael Nyman

0:16:23 > 0:16:27because when the names came up, that's the first thing I thought.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's right. Oh, yeah.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Judith, to stay in it,

0:16:34 > 0:16:39Ritchie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio were original members of which band

0:16:39 > 0:16:45whose hits include Since You've Been Gone and All Night Long?

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Oh, God. Um...

0:16:53 > 0:16:56I like the name Def Leppard.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01But... I see, sorry, yeah...?

0:17:01 > 0:17:05I was actually... I just thought you were musing. Sorry.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well, I was sort of musing. That's your choice, OK.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's as good a choice as any.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Yeah. It's wrong. Yeah, I thought it might be. So, that's it.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Well done, Helen.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well done. Oh, excellent.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24Def Leppard was wrong. Rainbow is the right answer.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Helen, you are through to the final round.

0:17:28 > 0:17:34You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant. It means you'll be able to play in today's final round.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Congratulations. Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams.

0:17:38 > 0:17:44As it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round, but you're pulling back.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46The Eggheads have lost one.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50The last subject is...Sport.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53That's a done deal. No question about that.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's definitely Sam. Which one of the two, do you reckon?

0:17:56 > 0:18:02Against CJ or Kevin? We'll take on CJ. I'd really rather you didn't.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Then we definitely want CJ!

0:18:05 > 0:18:11Sam from We Had A Plan, which almost rhymes, versus CJ from the Eggheads, let's go to the question rooms now.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17So, I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Sam, you can choose the first or the second set of questions. I think we'll go first.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Here goes.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31The former Snooker World Champion Terry Griffiths was born where?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Um...

0:18:37 > 0:18:40That's not an ideal first question.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Terry Griffiths...

0:18:44 > 0:18:49I don't think it's Scotland. I don't know why I don't think it is.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I think we'll go Wales, actually.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55I think it's Wales, but I'm not 100%.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Your team are very pleased with you. It's Wales. Well done.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01CJ...

0:19:01 > 0:19:06In 1984, Torvill and Dean won an Olympic gold medal,

0:19:06 > 0:19:10performing to which famous piece of music by Ravel?

0:19:14 > 0:19:18It was the wonderful dance in their billowy, purply costumes.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22It was Bolero. Ravel's Bolero, that's right.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Sam...

0:19:24 > 0:19:32Gary Lineker played for which football club between 1989 and 1992?

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, he played for all three of them.

0:19:41 > 0:19:46As a Leicester fan, I should probably know when he played for us.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm trying to think how old he is.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55I'm hoping he'd have left by then.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Well, it would've been lovely if he'd stayed for his whole career.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Um...

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I think I'm gonna have to guess on this one

0:20:06 > 0:20:09and I'm gonna guess Everton.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12That's wrong, actually. It's Spurs.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14He played for all three.

0:20:14 > 0:20:20CJ, which Welsh rugby union player was voted the IRB's Player of the Year

0:20:20 > 0:20:23for 2008?

0:20:27 > 0:20:30This is one of the times I hate these questions

0:20:30 > 0:20:34because a name popped into my head before I saw the options

0:20:34 > 0:20:37and it's one of those three names there.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40So I'm desperately hoping...

0:20:40 > 0:20:45that it's because I've seen it on the list.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50I don't even recognise the name Lee Byrne. I have seen Ryan Jones.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54But Shane Williams came into my head before I saw the options,

0:20:54 > 0:20:56so I have to go for that one.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Shane Williams is right.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01You need this, Sam.

0:21:01 > 0:21:08Which English cricketer, whose first-class career lasted from 1946 to 1967,

0:21:08 > 0:21:14was known as The Barnacle, largely due to one lengthy, match-saving knock of 71

0:21:14 > 0:21:18against Australia in 1953?

0:21:23 > 0:21:28Again cricket's a good subject, but that's not a very nice era for me.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35I'm not 100%, but Ken Barrington for some reason does stand out,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38so I'll go for Ken Barrington.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Eggheads? Trevor Bailey.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Trevor Bailey is the right answer.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Sam, I'm sorry. CJ, well done.

0:21:45 > 0:21:52You've triumphed on Sport. How often do we say that? Without even a tennis question in there.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Sam, you were beaten, so you can't be in the final round.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Please, both of you, come back to your teams.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02This is what we've been playing towards.

0:22:02 > 0:22:07It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Those of you who lost your head-to-heads cannot take part.

0:22:10 > 0:22:17So, Dave, Helen K and Sam from We Had A Plan - stress "had",

0:22:17 > 0:22:21and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?

0:22:21 > 0:22:26So, Danielle and Helen, you are playing to win We Had A Plan ?4,000.

0:22:26 > 0:22:33Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41They're on General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.

0:22:41 > 0:22:47So, We Had A Plan, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:47 > 0:22:51Danielle and Helen, do you want to go first or second? First.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58All the very best. Thank you. You can do it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:04The Hillary Shield is a rugby union trophy awarded to the winner of matches between England

0:23:04 > 0:23:06and which other country?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14I don't think it's Argentina. No, my gut instinct is New Zealand.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Yeah? Although... Why is it called Hillary then?

0:23:18 > 0:23:22I don't know. Is there a link to that?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I can't think of anything "Hillary" that links to them.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I'm trying to think of a place name or a river

0:23:28 > 0:23:31that's in either Australia or New Zealand.

0:23:31 > 0:23:36Um, and now you said Australia, I'm now thinking Australia.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39No, you said Australia. Did I? Yeah.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41All right, OK.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I think Australia. Yeah, OK.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49We're gonna go with Australia, please, Jeremy.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52OK, you were all over the place there. Yeah.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56And you did at one point say New Zealand and it was New Zealand.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Oh! After Sir Edmund Hillary.

0:24:00 > 0:24:06Eggheads, which actor starred as the spy Matt Helm in a series of films of the 1960s?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Dean Martin. Yeah.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Yeah, very... I was gonna say "sub-James Bond",

0:24:17 > 0:24:21but these were so far "sub", that doesn't do it justice. Dean Martin.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Dean Martin is right.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Back to you.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30In the Beano comic, what is the name of Gnasher's son?

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Well, I didn't grow up in the UK, so I have a little excuse.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41You always use that!

0:24:41 > 0:24:44So...

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I'm sure I've heard Gnosher and Gnasher.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51OK. Don't quote me on that on national TV.

0:24:51 > 0:24:56Well, you've just done it yourself. You heard it here. No, I think...

0:24:56 > 0:25:00If it's a son, they'd usually make the names similar.

0:25:00 > 0:25:06Wouldn't they? Yeah. Like Junior and Senior sort of thing. Yeah.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Debbie would be happy if we went for the middle answer. All right.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I hate to be the one that has to say it,

0:25:13 > 0:25:17but we're gonna go with Gnosher. Gnosher...

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Gnipper is the right answer. Really?

0:25:19 > 0:25:24It's not Gnosher. We have to hope something bad happens to them now.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30If they get this one right, they have won, there is no way back for you. Only prayers will do it now.

0:25:30 > 0:25:38Eggheads, Ernest Hemingway created a Martini made from 15 parts gin and one part vermouth

0:25:38 > 0:25:41and named it after which famous military figure?

0:25:45 > 0:25:48It wouldn't be De Gaulle, would it?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Is it that one? Why am I thinking that?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Monty was a teetotaller, wasn't he?

0:25:53 > 0:25:57That came into my head as soon as I heard the question.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01It seems... He's American and the other two aren't.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04So, um... Can you just describe it again, Jeremy?

0:26:04 > 0:26:08A Martini made from 15 parts gin and one part vermouth.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Pretty strong, eh? Why bother?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14It's Patton I'd go for.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18We don't know it, do we, so we'll go for Patton. Yeah.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22We'll discount Montgomery because he was a teetotaller,

0:26:22 > 0:26:26so unless it's an ironic joke, which I suppose it could be...

0:26:29 > 0:26:31We don't know it, but on the basis

0:26:31 > 0:26:34that Hemingway was American, Patton is American...

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Hemingway was a correspondent with the American forces.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44So we'll go for Patton.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49Hemingway's reasoning here was that 15/1 was the ratio

0:26:49 > 0:26:53of Allied forces to German forces

0:26:53 > 0:26:57that this particular person needed before he would attack,

0:26:57 > 0:27:00so it was a bit ironic and it was Montgomery.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Montgomery. You've got it wrong.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Not over yet. Hello again.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10You're back in it. We continue.

0:27:10 > 0:27:15The parmo, a pork or chicken fillet covered in breadcrumbs and cheese,

0:27:15 > 0:27:19is a speciality of which region, We Had A Plan?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Is it P-A-R-M-O? Yeah.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30The parmo. Parmo... I don't think it's North Wales.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34I've never heard of it, so I don't think it's North Wales. No.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39It doesn't sound like it's from Teesside.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I haven't spent much time in Teesside.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45If you get this question wrong, it's all over.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49Do you want to go for East Anglia? I'd be more happy with East Anglia,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52but it depends if it's right.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56I'm not against East Anglia and it would be a joint effort then,

0:27:56 > 0:28:01whereas if I said Teesside and it wasn't, it would be my fault.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Shall we just go East Anglia? East Anglia.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07East Anglia is wrong. Oh, no!

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Teesside. Oh! No!

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Commiserations to you, Challengers. There's no way back.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Eggheads, you have won.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Don't be despondent.

0:28:23 > 0:28:29They are very good. They've done what comes naturally to them and they reign supreme over quizland.

0:28:29 > 0:28:35I'm afraid you won't be going home with the ?4,000, so the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you?

0:28:38 > 0:28:44Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48?5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
