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 quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well known
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They're the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are Simple Minds from Norwich.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Team captain Larry has assembled a team
0:00:43 > 0:00:45comprising three of his colleagues,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49plus Gary, who's the golf director at Larry's local club.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Larry, I'm 66 and I'm a company director.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Gary, I'm 42 and I'm a golf director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Gerardo, I'm 52 and I'm overseas sales manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Damian, I'm 51 and I'm marketing director.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 44 and I'm a finance manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Larry and colleagues, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Thank you.- And the golf club is actually owned by your company.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Yes, it is.- Which gives a sense of the company's success.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Well thank you, yes. - What does it actually do?
0:01:20 > 0:01:25The company manufactures equipment for science and education -
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- for science and technology, I'm sorry - for education.- All round the world?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We sell all round the world, yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33What's your quizzing background?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36You don't have to have one, by the way.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well we do quiz, we quiz together at the golf club.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40The golf club has regular quizzes
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and we come together at the golf club to quiz together.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And I guess the name Simple Minds was chosen
0:01:46 > 0:01:49in a moment of unnecessary modesty.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51No, I think it was very essential modesty.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Some of the team said they wouldn't show if we didn't indicate
0:01:57 > 0:02:00a certain degree of modesty about our capabilities.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02OK, well, that's quite a good way to start.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:04 > 0:02:06up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the money rolls over to the next show. So, Simple Minds,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15the challengers won the last game, which at least proves it can be done.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Challengers, put someone forward.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What do you think? Who's going to do music?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Gary?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I think Gerardo.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- It's going to be Gerardo. - Gerardo against who?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Who are we going to take?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Judith?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- OK.- Judith.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44OK. Gerardo from Simple Minds against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52OK, good luck in this round.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on music in turn.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Gerardo, your choice, would you like the first
0:03:01 > 0:03:04set of questions or the second set?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Can I have the first set, please, Jeremy?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Absolutely you can, here we go.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11In the 1980s, who had number-one
0:03:11 > 0:03:14singles in the USA with Together Forever,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and Never Gonna Give You Up?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Right, I believe I know this one.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Richard Marx doesn't ring a bell.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Rick Astley and Billy Ocean.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I believe it's Rick Astley.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Rick Astley is the right answer.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Judith, your question.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42The word embouchure refers to the arrangement
0:03:42 > 0:03:46of which part of the body, when playing a wind instrument?
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Embouchure. Well, bouche is a mouth in French.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59If it derives from bouche for lips...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03..erm, for mouth, it must be lips.
0:04:03 > 0:04:10Yes, your French background served you well. Lips, it is.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Question two for the Simple Minds.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16What's the title of the 2008 album by Grace Jones,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18her first album for 19 years?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Mmm. They're very close, I remember this one.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I believe it was Cyclone.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Cyclone.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm afraid that's wrong. It was Hurricane.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Sorry, Gerardo.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So back with you, Judith.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Against her family's wishes, the renowned concert pianist,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Clara Wieck, married which composer in 1840?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't think it was Beethoven.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I have a thing in my head which is saying Clara Schumann
0:05:02 > 0:05:04so I think it's Robert Schumann.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Robert Schumann is correct.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Clara Schumann must be right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Brilliant stuff, well played.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Over to you, Gerardo.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18In 1997, which artist released covers of heavy metal tracks on
0:05:18 > 0:05:22an album entitled In A Metal Mood, No More Mr Nice Guy?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Right, heavy metal.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32One of these three guys.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well, erm,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Pat Boone, I believe, is the one that released the album.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Hey, you got it right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Pat Boone is the one.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46That's unguessable!
0:05:46 > 0:05:47I don't know how you did that.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Don't tell us you guessed.- OK.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Judith, your question.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56"Some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules",
0:05:56 > 0:05:59are the opening lines of which patriotic song?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's the British Grenadiers, I can hear it in my head.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10These voices that keep speaking to me,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13it makes me sound madder and madder.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14The British Grenadiers,
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- those voices have said to you the British Grenadiers?- Yes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Well done, voices.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22The answer is correct.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It was one voice last question, now you've got multiple ones.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Well, it's the British Grenadiers! - It is.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Judith, you've won that round. Gerardo, sorry.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35You were beaten by our Egghead. She played well, got all three right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38As a result, you won't be able to play in the final round.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:06:45 > 0:06:47from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49The next subject is sport.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Which challenger wants sport?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Paul? It's going to be Paul.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Paul, OK. Against?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Chris?- Chris?- Chris.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Not again, Chris.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04The third time on the trot.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08You unutterable coward. Don't want to face me in the final, eh?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I only did it for the rant.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12He gets so angry about sport!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16OK, Paul from Simple Minds versus Chris from the Eggheads on sport.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Paul and Chris, I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Paul, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36So your question - which British boxer did Chris Eubank defeat
0:07:36 > 0:07:39in 1990 to win the WBO world middleweight title?
0:07:43 > 0:07:49I'm sure it wasn't Naseem Hamed, I'm sure he's a different weight.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Nicky Piper doesn't sound familiar.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I'm pretty certain it was Nigel Benn.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58The answer is Nigel Benn, and it's right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Here is your question, Chris. Just to make you really, really happy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08In cricket, depending on which side of the stumps they bowl,
0:08:08 > 0:08:13bowlers deliver the ball either over the wicket or in which other way?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Through the wicket, they'd knock the stumps down, batsman would be out.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Under the wicket it'd have to travel underground,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26so bowling the other way round, it's around the wicket.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Around the wicket is correct.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Paul, your question.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The American businessman Randy Lerner bought a controlling interest
0:08:36 > 0:08:38in which football club in 2006?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Well, Everton and Arsenal are both still British owned.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's Aston Villa.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Aston Villa is the right answer, well done.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well done. Chris, over to you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Cornerback, nose tackle and tight end
0:08:58 > 0:09:01are all playing positions in which team sport?
0:09:06 > 0:09:12It's not American football, they have a quarterback, not a cornerback.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Something is telling me it's lacrosse. So I'll say lacrosse.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19The answer is American football.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Did you know that, CJ? - Tight end, yes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27So, challengers, you've got two points here, Paul.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31If you get this right, you've knocked Chris out.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34And I sense maybe some sporting textbooks
0:09:34 > 0:09:37may be on their way to your home.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yeah, there goes another flying pig.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Paul, when James Hunt won the 1976 Formula One title,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48which driver was in second place only one point behind him?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm pretty certain that he won it
0:09:56 > 0:10:00at a rain-drenched circuit in the Far East,
0:10:00 > 0:10:06and I believe that Niki Lauda pulled out of the race on danger grounds,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09so I believe it was Niki Lauda.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let me ask your team-mates. Yes?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Got it right. Well done, Paul.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Niki Lauda.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh, Chris, what are we to do?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Sport is not happening for you at the moment.- Never has, never will.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27So Chris is out of the final round. Paul, you're in it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Bad luck, Chris. I just noticed here
0:10:34 > 0:10:37that I think what was happening a while back, Judith,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40is that you were picked on sport again and again and again.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45You then went away and read lots of cycling magazines or something.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You started winning,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so they have then moved on to Chris who's taking sustained fire.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54He can have my cycling magazines.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You know what he's going to ask you to do with them!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01I'll swap you for the complete back run of Steam World, how's that?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04So in a very, very tiny Eggheady way, Judith,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06it's a little bit of a victory for you
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and your revision, isn't it?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Yes. Well, now I'm targeted for other things.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So as it stands, the challengers and the Eggheads
0:11:14 > 0:11:16have each lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18The next subject is arts and books.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Which of you would like this?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And against whom?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Larry?- Larry.- Larry?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Reluctantly that's me, yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Against which Egghead?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33CJ. CJ, please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35OK, Larry from Simple Minds versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40please take your positions in the question room.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44So, Larry, you're in charge of the company and the team?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Well, yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Does that put the pressure on? - No, not at all, really.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But usually I get to ask them to do things,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58and in this category they've ended up asking me,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- so I've got art and books.- Yep.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I'll ask each of you three questions on arts and books in turn and,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Larry, tell us whether you want the first or second set.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'll go with the second set, please.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14OK, CJ. The Renaissance artist Titian
0:12:14 > 0:12:17famously worked and died in which city?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24It was Venice.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Venice is the right answer.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Over to you, Larry.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31The thrillers entitled Rage of Angels
0:12:31 > 0:12:32and The Other Side of Midnight
0:12:32 > 0:12:35were written by which best-selling author?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'm not sure, but I'll say...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Sidney Sheldon.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Sidney Sheldon is correct.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I notice when they clap the boss,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57they clap in a very kind of slightly fearful way.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01They're worried about clapping in the wrong way.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05CJ, over to you. Which author based his first novel,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08entitled The White Peacock,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12around his birthplace in Eastwood in Nottinghamshire?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22The White Peacock was the first novel of DH Lawrence.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24DH Lawrence is correct.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28OK, Larry.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The Romanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi
0:13:31 > 0:13:34is best known for which type of work?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Again, I'm not sure.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I will guess at...sculpture.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Let's check with the Eggheads here. Is he right?- Yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Yes, sculpture is right.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01CJ, the painter and designer Edward Burne-Jones was born in which year?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I wouldn't have had a clue
0:14:08 > 0:14:11but I know he's part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13which would make it 1833.
0:14:13 > 0:14:161833 is the correct answer.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So, CJ has three.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23That's the trouble with letting him go first, Larry.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25You've got to get this right now.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Which poet's work entitled A Subaltern's Love Song
0:14:28 > 0:14:31includes the famous character Joan Hunter Dunn?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Well, I don't think it's John Betjeman.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'll say WH Auden.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Unfortunately it's the one you ruled out. It's Betjeman.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Auden is wrong, John Betjeman is the right answer. Sorry, Larry.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58And well done, CJ. Arts and books, not your strongest subject.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59But then, what is?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You've gone through to the final round and, Larry,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05you won't be able to help your team in the final.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Please, both of you come back to the studio.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11So, as it stands the challengers have lost
0:15:11 > 0:15:13two brains from the final round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16The Eggheads have lost just one. The last subject is science.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Which challenger wants science?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- That's got to be me then, hasn't it? - Yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Yes? That's going to be me then, Jeremy.- Damian?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Yes.- The educational products are a bit scientific, so it's your field.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- It should be.- Against who?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Daphne?- Daphne.- Yes. Daphne, please.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40OK. Damian from Simple Minds versus Daphne from the Eggheads
0:15:40 > 0:15:44and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK. I'll ask you each three questions on science.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Damian, you can choose the first or second set.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'd like to go for the first set please, Jeremy.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Damian, here we go.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Coal is largely or almost entirely composed of which element?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Well, it's certainly not boron. It wouldn't burn very well.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I think you're going to find it's mostly carbon.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Absolutely right.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Carbon it is.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Over to you, Daphne.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The gas ammonia is comprised of hydrogen and which other substance?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm hopeless at these!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Um...think...
0:16:28 > 0:16:33hydrogen... I'm going to get it wrong.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Nitrogen?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Eggheads?- Yes. NH3.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41You don't need to know anything, Daphne, do you?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Cos you can guess everything accurately.- Oh, God!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Nitrogen is the right answer. - Oh, thank you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You're more likely to get it wrong when you know it. Damian,
0:16:50 > 0:16:55for what does the letter B stand in the computing acronym - BIOS?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's not beginners or band, so it must be basic.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yes. It's Basic Input Output System.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Correct.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Daphne, your question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12"Redneck," "slavonian" and "little"
0:17:12 > 0:17:15are three types of which bird found in the UK?
0:17:23 > 0:17:30The only one I can relate any of those to adjectives is to the grebe.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I've heard of the little grebe, but that's all, I'm afraid.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37It is the grebe.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40You haven't heard of the slavonian grebe then?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42No, or a redneck one.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Two points each. Doing well, Damian.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Get this right and you never know,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Daphne might suddenly just fall apart.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53The 4.2 metre reflector telescope,
0:17:53 > 0:17:58named after William Herschel is located in which group of islands?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05It's going to need to be near the equator,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06so I would say it's in the Azores.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It's not. It's the Canary Islands. Canary Islands.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Back to you, Daphne.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20Between 1865 and 1869, Joseph Lister made pioneering steps
0:18:20 > 0:18:24in antiseptic techniques on patients in a hospital in which city?
0:18:28 > 0:18:36I think Joseph Lister was Scottish, so I hope it's Glasgow.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39If you've got this right, you're through to the final.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Glasgow is correct.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, Daphne, Glasgow beats the Azores.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Daphne is through to the final.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Damian, sorry. You won't be joining your team in that final round.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Would you please, both of you, come back and sit with your teams.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59CJ, what do you think Daphne's secret is?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Um...probably having been around for literally hundreds of years.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06When you've been around that long, you're bound to know a few things.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Nefertiti's in better condition than she is.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Ooh! But they're very good friends. They are very good friends.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It's all right. I get him after the show,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18when there aren't any witnesses and my word against his.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22OK. Final round, before we have a fight breaking out on this side.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27As always, the final round is general knowledge.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:19:30 > 0:19:32won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So, Larry, Gerardo and Damian from Simple Minds
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and Chris, again the Egghead who's gone down on sport,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42would you please now leave the studio.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Gary and Paul, you're playing to win Simple Minds £1,000.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49CJ, Daphne, Barry and Judith,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52you are playing for something that money can't buy, of course.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The Egghead's precious reputation.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01You're allowed to confer.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Simple Minds, the question is
0:20:03 > 0:20:06are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Gary and Paul, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11We'll go first, please.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14First question for the Simple Minds.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20Which character in the TV series Friends gave birth to triplets?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It wasn't Rachel.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Or was it? No, it wasn't Rachel.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I didn't know any of them.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Um...Phoebe acted as a surrogate mum
0:20:38 > 0:20:43for her brother and his wife...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Monica finished the series...
0:20:48 > 0:20:52They moved, they'd had a baby, but I think they adopted, didn't they?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Didn't they adopt? I think it was Phoebe.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I think Phoebe acted as a surrogate mum.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59OK, we'll go with that.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01We'll go with Phoebe?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'm glad you did. I'm glad you did.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Phoebe is right. Well done.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's sad, I used to watch Friends.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Eggheads, your question.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The tight-fitting silk dress called a cheongsam
0:21:13 > 0:21:17was originally a traditional form of clothing in which country?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- China.- China. Yes. China, no doubt.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27China is right.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I tried to read that without an accent, but it's not easy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Over to you. The flag of St Piran,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37consisting of a white cross on a black background
0:21:37 > 0:21:40has been adopted by which English county?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Cornwall?- Definitely Cornwall. - Cornwall.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Cornwall is correct.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Eggheads, your question to keep up.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Which American city is known by the slang name of Beer Town?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's Milwaukee. Cheers.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It is Milwaukee, cheers!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Third question. This can be very important, if you get this wrong
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and they get theirs right, that's the end of the contest.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18In a standard pack of playing cards, which Queen faces to the right
0:22:18 > 0:22:23and is the only Queen pictured with a sceptre?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I don't know why, just the Queen of Hearts...
0:22:37 > 0:22:41That was my, that was my first inclination.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- But I can't, I can't...- I don't think it's the Queen of Spades.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50My first inclination was for Hearts.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53That was mine, but I've no particular reason
0:22:53 > 0:22:56other than that's the one that sprung to mind...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- OK.- ..or popped in.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01So, hopefully it was one of Judith's little voices.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Yes. We'll go for Hearts. - You think the Queen of Hearts?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I don't know why this would be...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11But it's the Queen of Spades. Why is it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:17Because the Queen, in playing bridge, spades is the highest suit.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- So that might be it. - So she faces to the right?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I mean, spades is the highest suit in the order of suits.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- And generally...- And therefore would have the sceptre, I suppose.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- All the other queens hold flowers. - Yes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, Eggheads, third question.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33If you get this right, you've won.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37You're back in the harness with your winning ways.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39During the First World War,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42children helped to collect thousands of tons of what in order to assist
0:23:42 > 0:23:44in the production of explosives?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Not blackberries. My first thought was acorns.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- I think it was acorns. - My first thought was acorns.- Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I suppose of the three, acorns might be the most nitrogenous...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Which would make some sense.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- What? The most nitrogen in them?- Yes.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08You'd need a nitrogenous compound or something for, for explosives.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I can't go with this from the science.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14All I'm going for is I thought there were children collecting acorns.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15That's all I can say, but...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- All right.- Bear in mind what I did last time.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, two half reasons might make a whole reason.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Yes.- We've decided to go for acorns.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26We have visions of all these children in oak woods.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Acorns is wrong.- Oh, Lord.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Conkers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Oh well.- We've done it again!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- You haven't lost yet. - No.- No, but...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37That third question in the final round,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41they're getting a little bit worried about it now, aren't you?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46So...Simple Minds, you're still in and fighting. It's Sudden Death now.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Bit harder, not multiple-choice.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Get this right...
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Which slightly derogatory term for a policeman was inspired
0:24:54 > 0:24:57by a character in the Noddy books by Enid Blyton?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Plod?- Plod, yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Plod. PC Plod?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05PC Plod, or Plod is correct.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Eggheads, if you get this wrong you've gone.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10In Roman mythology,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14who was the chief goddess and female counterpart of Jupiter?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Yes, we like this. - Yes. We like mythology questions.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21That was Juno.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Juno is correct.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28So there, unlike the last game where you lost,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30somebody said the right answer and they were ignored,
0:25:30 > 0:25:35on this occasion...they were listened to. It does help.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Paul and Gary, in which year
0:25:37 > 0:25:40did the 20th Century poll tax riots take place in London?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Who was, who was Prime Minister at the time?- Thatcher.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Definitely, right. She came in in '79.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- Came in '79...- Wins the second term.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It was tested in Scotland...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- I don't believe... - '85 came in my mind at the time.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02What do you think?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm trying to think when I left home.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06That's when...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It was round about the time
0:26:08 > 0:26:11that it was introduced.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18And....that's going to be about '85 or '86.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22You thought '85, I'm saying '86. '86?
0:26:24 > 0:26:261986?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Is that your answer?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Yes.- It's wrong.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37It was right at the end of Thatcher's time...1990.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest now.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Which word describing a street hooligan or sometimes a gangster
0:26:47 > 0:26:51is thought to have originated in 19th century San Francisco
0:26:51 > 0:26:54from the German word for ragamuffin?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01A gangster was a hood, but it won't be that.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02- Hoodlum?- Hoodlum.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Hoodlum. Ah...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07That sounds quite good.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Would that be it? - What's the German word?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I don't speak German, so I don't know.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- What's another word for a hooligan? How about ruffian?- Mmm...
0:27:17 > 0:27:21No, I prefer hoodlum. Especially for 19th century San Francisco.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Hoodlum sounds like it could come from German and...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- 19th century certainly. San Francisco?- Mmm.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Shall we go for it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We'll go for it. All right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34We're not sure on this one, but we've come up
0:27:34 > 0:27:36as a joint effort with hoodlum.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40If you've got this right, you've won the contest....
0:27:40 > 0:27:44and the money is snatched away from our Simple Minds.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47You did toy with ruffian, didn't you?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- It can't be ruffian. - Ruffian is wrong.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Hoodlum is right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Very relieved Eggheads.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Congratulations, you have won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Bad luck, the two of you. You can see how it's on a knife-edge.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Yes, absolutely.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And when they have to supply the answer and they can discuss it,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13they can go round in circles, they can move off the right answer
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and on to the wrong one and it's anyone's game.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Great team.- Well done to you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Commiserations as well.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:21 > 0:28:24and they reign supreme over quiz land once again...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26after a little glitch that we won't mention.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000
0:28:29 > 0:28:31so that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
