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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30try to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Their pedigree is well known,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Tackling the Eggheads today are PRS Plus.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Anne, Mary and Susan all became friends
0:00:42 > 0:00:45after meeting at the Mastermind Club,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47a group for former Mastermind contestants.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50After deciding to challenge the Eggheads,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53they thought it best to recruit a couple of male friends
0:00:53 > 0:00:56to balance out their areas of knowledge. Let's meet them.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Anne. I'm 72, and I'm a retired librarian.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Tom, I'm 31, and I'm an actuary.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Mary. I'm 69, and I'm a retired teacher and interpreter.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Steve. I'm 29, and I'm a sound engineer.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Hello, I'm Susan. I'm 63, and I'm a port lecturer.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Welcome Anne and friends.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Thank you.- Why PRS? What does that stand for?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26At the annual Mastermind Club do, we do the quiz as a team
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and we are called the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- I see, PRS.- So, for this quiz, we have recruited a couple of toy boys!
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Which areas were you lacking? I'm guessing sport, but I...
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Yes, definitely sport and TV and film and things like that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, we have some serious quizzers here, don't we?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49This could be interesting.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58So, PRS Plus,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04which means £6,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- D'you want to try?- Oh yes!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10First head-to-head is on the subject of Film and Television.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- So it's lucky you brought in your plusses!- It is, isn't it?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Would you look at that?! - We are looking at Steve!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, against who?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Go on, let's try Daphne.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Right, Steve from PRS Plus versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I will ask each of you three questions
0:02:36 > 0:02:38on Film and Television in turn.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Steve, would you like the first or second set?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51In 2007, who replaced Kate Thornton
0:02:51 > 0:02:54as the host of the TV series the X Factor?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Right, well, not a programme that I'm particularly fond of.
0:03:05 > 0:03:12However, I do remember that Dermot O'Leary was involved with that show.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16So I will plump for Dermot O'Leary.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Dermot O'Leary is correct.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Daphne, your question.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25A pink hippo named George and a bear named Bungle
0:03:25 > 0:03:29appeared in which children's TV show of the '70s, '80s and '90s?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36It was lovely, wasn't it?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Rainbow.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Rainbow is correct.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well done to you. Back to you now...
0:03:44 > 0:03:50Steve. Which TV series is set in the fictional town of Sunnydale?
0:03:56 > 0:04:02Right. Well, again, not a programme which I am a big fan of.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07But it's certainly not House, it's not Ugly Betty, I believe that is
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Buffy the Vampire Slayer is correct.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Daphne,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18the 1989 film, Scandal, starring John Hurt
0:04:18 > 0:04:22is about the controversy surrounding which well-known figure?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Scandal was all about John Profumo.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34You're right. It was.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Steve,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39this to take the lead. Who played Kay Corleone,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43the wife of Al Pacino's character in the Godfather Part II?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Ah. OK, Godfather Part II.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55OK.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Well, I don't believe that was Meryl Streep.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Between Diane Keaton and Barbara Hershey.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Long time since I've seen this.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I think that that was Barbara Hershey.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I'm sorry, you're wrong.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- Ah!- Anyone know?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Diane Keaton. - Diane Keaton, Daphne, yes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I can see that hurts!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Yes, it does.- Because you're playing with such a good team.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30This for the round, Daphne. The three sailors on shore leave
0:05:30 > 0:05:35in the 1949 musical, On The Town, were Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly
0:05:35 > 0:05:37and which other actor?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I do have the DVD of this and it is...
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Jules Munshin.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Jules Munshin is correct.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Well done, Daphne, you've taken that round against Steve.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- I can tell you're frustrated. - I am, yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You were beaten, so you won't be in the final round.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Please both come back, rejoin your teams.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11the Eggheads have lost none.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The next subject is History. I reckon you're strong on this.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Who'd like to do History?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Susan, Mary or me?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Would you rather?- Not particularly.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, shall I try it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- OK.- As long as there's one of you two left, and Tom, at the end.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- OK!- OK.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'll try that one then.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Anne. Against? - Well, they're all good at History.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So we'll try CJ, please.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43It's Anne from PRS Plus versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Would you like the first or second set?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'll have the second set, please.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04CJ, what name is given to the groupings of craftsmen or merchants
0:07:04 > 0:07:06formed for mutual aid and protection,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09which flourished in Europe between the 11th and 16th centuries?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You had lots of craftsmen...guilds.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Guilds is the right answer.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Over to you, Anne.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25The Red Army of workers and peasants,
0:07:25 > 0:07:29set up in 1918, became the official army of which country?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I think the date begins to give it away.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I think, 1918, it must be the USSR.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41USSR is correct.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45CJ.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50The Ridolfi Plot was an attempt to put whom on the throne of England?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I always get these plots mixed up.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Bonnie Prince Charlie didn't really have a plot, did he?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10He just tried to march south and got turned back at Derby, I think it was.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Mary, Queen of Scots...
0:08:17 > 0:08:22There were the...letters, but she was imprisoned for 19 years.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27And there were several plots around with people like Perkin Warbeck
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and Lambert Simnel.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So I'm going to hope
0:08:33 > 0:08:37that it was the plot to try and get Perkin Warbeck on the throne.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Perkin Warbeck. Barry, is he right or wrong?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Sadly, he's very much wrong.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Go on.- It was Mary, Queen of Scots.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Sorry, CJ. The correct answer, Mary, Queen of Scots.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53OK, Anne. The agreements negotiated in Switzerland in 1925,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56which sought to secure post-war territorial settlement,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59are collectively known by what name?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, that's something that I haven't particularly heard of.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11And, as they're all in Switzerland, this is tricky.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I don't know whether to go for Zurich, as that's a good place,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20or Berne is the capital, or Locarno.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23They could have gone to a nice lakeside location, Locarno.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think I'll go for Berne.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30No. Berne is wrong.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32It's the Treaties of Locarno.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Ah.- So, CJ's back in with a chance. Here's your third question.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Which city was the scene of the Nika riots of 532,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55This is worrying because Nika riots means nothing to me.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57But you said 532,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01and before I saw the options, I thought of Constantinople.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I don't know it, I've got nothing to go on,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10but because I've got this little nag
0:10:10 > 0:10:14that linked the date with the city, I'll try Constantinople.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Constantinople...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19is right. Well played, though. Well played.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Anne, your question.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Little Sorrel was the name of the horse
0:10:23 > 0:10:26of which American Civil War general?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38This is something else... I don't really know much about horses.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Only Napoleon's or George Washington's,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45but that's not going to help.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, I shall have to pick one at random, I'm afraid.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53I'm sorry, team, if it's wrong, but I will go for Robert E Lee.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Sorry team, it's wrong.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- It's not Robert E Lee. Do you know, out of interest?- Is it Jackson?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It is Stonewall Jackson.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So Anne, you just fell at the last there,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09letting CJ through on History. Well done, CJ, you're in the final round.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Please both come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Bad luck, Anne.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21The next subject is Sport.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Which of the challengers would like Sport?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- That will be me!- It's got to be Tom!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Tom, yes. Who are you going to play? - Tom against...?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Is Chris vulnerable on sport?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- He doesn't like sport, does he? Not a fan.- I'll go for that, then.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40We'll play Chris.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44GERMAN ACCENT: Your name vill also go on ze list!
0:11:44 > 0:11:49So, Tom from PRS Plus versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Please go to the question room.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport, in turn.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Tom, first or second set?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Chris likes the subject so much, I think he can have the first go!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Chris on Sport. He's already cross
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and he hasn't been asked anything yet!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Who left his job as coach of the England cricket team
0:12:11 > 0:12:12in January 2009?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Oh.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Oh, Ashley Giles.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29No!
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Peter Moores.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Tom, here's your first question.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's already going well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The footballer Ryan Giggs represented
0:12:38 > 0:12:41which team at international level?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It was only on occasion, I think, but it was Wales.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- That's right, famously could have played for England.- Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Went for Wales. Wales is the correct answer, well done. Chris...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Which tennis player famously stormed off the court in tears
0:13:00 > 0:13:06when she was defeated in the 1999 French Open final by Steffi Graff?
0:13:16 > 0:13:24Well, Anna Kournikova is East European and rather phlegmatic.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30Martina Hingis is Swiss and rather clinical.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, bearing in mind that she's a hot-blooded Latin
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and probably does that sort of thing, I'd say Monica Seles.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm sorry, Latin?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You're playing a storming round!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- It's Martina Hingis.- Is it, indeed?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Tom.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's going even better for you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Where are Sha Tin and Happy Valley,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59two race tracks belonging to the Jockey Club, located?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Well...
0:14:04 > 0:14:10the only thing I can think of which gives me any kind of clue to this,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14because horseracing, I'm vaguely aware that there's horses involved,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and that's about it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Erm...
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I'm vaguely aware that there's racing at Hong Kong.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26So that's the only instinct I've got and I'm going to stick with it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Hong Kong.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Yeah, you're right!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Hong Kong is correct.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Very well done to you, Tom. You took on an Egghead.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Chris has no way back from here, so I won't ask you your third question.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Tom is triumphant. Tom is in the final.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Please both come back to the studio.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Our last subject is Food and Drink.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Who wants this?- Who'd like that?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yeah, Mary.- OK.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Mary?- Mary.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Kevin or Barry, what a choice! - Choose me for a change!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Kevin's not very fond of it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10He's not got a kitchen, has he?!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12But he's not that bad at food.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14But he has been beaten.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20OK, in for a penny.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- I'll try Kevin, please.- Mary, as soon as Food and Drink came up, he knew.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Mary from PRS Plus versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Please take your positions.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I'll ask each of you three questions on Food and Drink.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Mary, first or second set?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Well, it's six of one, half-a-dozen of the other,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I think I'll risk second, please.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Everyone's going second.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Kevin, preserved ginger is another name for which cooking ingredient
0:15:50 > 0:15:54which consists of young ginger that has been peeled and preserved
0:15:54 > 0:15:56in sugar syrup?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04The only one there I've come across is stem ginger, so I'll go for that.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Stem ginger is correct.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Over to you, Mary.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Which foodstuff is the principal ingredient
0:16:13 > 0:16:16of the tapas dish, Patatas Bravas?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Well, it has to be potato
0:16:24 > 0:16:28because patatas is one of the Spanish words for potato.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32So I will go with potato.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Potato is correct.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Bet you were relieved to see potato down there!- Yes!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Kevin, what foodstuff is often included in pasta dough,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45giving it a yellowish colour?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, of those...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I would go for eggs.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Eggs is the right answer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Mary, here's your next question.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03What predominant taste does fennel have?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's one of my favourite vegetables.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's aniseed.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Aniseed is right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Over to you, Kevin.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17At two points apiece.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20What type of food is the Thai dish, tom yam?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Don't know.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I don't know, so I'm going for soup.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Soup is right.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Well done, three out of three on Food and Drink.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Mary, you've got to get this right now.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44The Medoc and Haut-Medoc
0:17:44 > 0:17:48are appellations in which winemaking region of France?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58I should be able to jump at that answer, and I'm sticking.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I don't think it's Burgundy.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13My mind has come to a standstill.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I can't think.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19My French friends will kill me, but I'll go for Bordeaux.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Bordeaux is the right answer.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Three questions, we move now to sudden death.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It gets a bit harder, Mary.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Yes, I realise! - It's not multiple choice.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Kevin, in which European country
0:18:33 > 0:18:38are some bottles of wine labelled with the initials DOCG?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42The designations in Spain and Italy are quite similar.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's either Spain or Italy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'm not sure, it could be Italy or Spain, but I'm going to go for Italy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm hoping that it's something like
0:18:52 > 0:18:59"denominazione di origine controllata garantita".
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Well done, Kevin, you pretty much got what it stands for there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And you didn't need that. Italy is correct.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Over to you, Mary.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15What is the singular form of the seafood known as scampi?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Depending on whether it's masculine or feminine,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24it should be either scampa or scampo.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Hmm.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Eeny meeny, I'll go for scampo.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Scampo...is right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You're still in it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Kevin.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Food critics, Christian Millau and Henri Gault,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46coined which term for the new cookery style,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48developed in the '60s and '70s,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53that stressed freshness, lightness and clarity of flavour?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Well, if it's not nouvelle cuisine, I'm in trouble,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03because I can't think of anything else.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Yeah, nouvelle cuisine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Nouvelle cuisine is right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Over to you, Mary. To stay in it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Which spirit is substituted for vodka
0:20:17 > 0:20:21to make a Bloody Mary into a Bloody Maria?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'm not very much into cocktails.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31The only thing I could think of would be gin.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Is gin your answer? - Yes, I'll go for gin.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Gin is wrong, Mary. Sorry. Tequila.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43So Kevin, you've pulled through on Food and Drink.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Mary, he had a sudden burst on his weakest subject.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48We'll never be able to explain it!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Please both rejoin your teams.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So, it's time for our final round
0:20:53 > 0:20:55which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:57 > 0:21:00won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03That's Anne, Mary and Steve from PRS
0:21:03 > 0:21:05and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Would you please all leave the studio?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13So Tom and Susan, you're playing to win PRS Plus £6,000.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Barry,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19you're playing for something money can't buy - your reputation.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:25 > 0:21:26and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30PRS Plus, the big question is, are your two brains
0:21:30 > 0:21:32better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34What do you think?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36No, don't answer! You'll spoil it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, I think.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41First, please.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Very best of luck.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49A portable prefabricated type of what,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51invented during World War Two,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55is named after its inventor, Sir Donald Bailey?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- It's the bridge.- Definitely bridge.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Bridge is right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Well done.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Eggheads,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11in mathematics, how many items are in a group or set known as a score?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- 20.- Well, it was when I was at school, 60-odd years ago!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Daphne remembers this from her schooldays, so it's 20!
0:22:23 > 0:22:2620 is right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Back to you, PRS Plus.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Which daily national newspaper has a picture of a crusader as its symbol?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Daily Express.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Daily Express is the right answer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50OK, Eggheads. What name was given to the outfit,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54popular in the 1940s, that usually consisted of baggy trousers
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and a long coat?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- It was a Zoot Suit.- Zoot Suit.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Zoot Suit is the right answer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So a third question.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Always crucial to get this one right, OK?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Which comedian's comedy trademark routine
0:23:14 > 0:23:18involved one-sided telephone calls in which he played the straight man?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- I don't think it's Danny Kaye, do you?- Well, I'm not sure.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31George Burns was the straight man.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It does sound familiar.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- It's not the third one, I hope. - Not Bob Newhart?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38We'll go with your first instinct.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Oh no, no! No, let's think about it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Danny Kaye, I think, did musical stuff as well.- Yes.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- George Burns was a straight man. - He was a singer, wasn't he?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51And he was with a partner, wasn't he?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It was Burns and somebody.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I couldn't possibly comment!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Bob Newhart, he did sort of soliloquies, didn't he?
0:24:00 > 0:24:05I remember thinking, Burns made me think of the Simpsons as well.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Shall we go for George Burns? - We'll go for George Burns.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10George Burns is your answer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12You sort of came up with the answer
0:24:12 > 0:24:16during all that, when you said Bob Newhart did soliloquies.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Cos it was Bob Newhart.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Which means, Eggheads,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25that if you get this right, you have snatched the money away from our
0:24:25 > 0:24:30doughty challengers and gone home victorious again.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33In Arthurian legend, what was the name of the castle
0:24:33 > 0:24:36that stood in Launceston in Cornwall?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Horrible doesn't sound right. - Not horrible, no.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Fearful would be more in keeping with King Mark of Cornwall.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Fearful just seems more in keeping.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It could be Terrible, but as soon as they came up, I thought Fearful.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Probably hoisting myself with my own petard,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05but I thought it was Fearful.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07We're not 100 per cent sure on this,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09but we're going to go for Castle Fearful.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11If you are right, you have won.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Do you know the answer?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I think it might be Terrible.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19You're right, it is Terrible. It's a terrible answer, Fearful!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Fearful's wrong, Terrible's right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We go to sudden death, not multiple choice.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27You're off the hook, or back on it! Your question.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Which word for a form of bus that originated in France
0:25:30 > 0:25:34in the 19th century, comes from the French for carriage with benches?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Charabanc, isn't it?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Banc is a bench, isn't it? Yes. Yes.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Charabanc.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's the right answer. Well done.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Eggheads...
0:25:53 > 0:25:58If you get this wrong, you go home in disgrace.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Which game, particularly popular in the North East of England,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05is played by throwing a circular disc,
0:26:05 > 0:26:10with a roughly four-inch hole in the centre, over a pin known as the hob?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Isn't that quoits?- No.- No.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Well, the only game I can think of for the North East
0:26:19 > 0:26:25- is one called Knur and Spell. - I thought that was with a bat.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- No, it's not.- It's like a sort of golf type thing, isn't it?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31It's a bat and ball game, isn't it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34But it's a disc, with a four inch hole in the middle.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Thrown over...?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Over a pin known as the hob.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Quoits?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51P... P-E...?
0:26:53 > 0:26:59- I know it's not Petanque, but... - It's not Petanque.- I know that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Something called Pegarty?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Pegarty?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It's worth a try.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11That's just come into my mind, I don't know why.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Pegarty?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I've never heard of it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We'll have to go for something.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Try Pegarty.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22We really don't know the answer, so we'll have a stab in the dark
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and we will try Pegarty.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28If you've got it wrong, the challengers go home with the money.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30£6,000.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- What would you have said? - I wouldn't have had a clue, Jeremy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38- I think that might be right. - Pegarty might be right?- Yes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41We've had games where they've come down to the final discussion.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And Barry, on the end, has floated the right answer
0:27:44 > 0:27:48and no-one pays a blind bit of notice! And it happened again...
0:27:48 > 0:27:49with quoits!
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- I said quoits!- Quoits is the answer. I'm sorry, Eggheads, you've lost.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Congratulations to our challengers. You have won!
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Fantastic!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06And the confusion here and the disarray was, well, delicious!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well done. So you get £6,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You started slow, then you held it steady and they slipped up.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Join us next time on Eggheads,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23after the postmortem here,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26to see if a new team of challengers will be as successful.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Until then, goodbye.
