0:00:03 > 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 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:34attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their quiz pedigree is well known.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today are The JBs.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45This team are all students at the Josephine Butler College,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48part of Durham University.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 21, an economics student.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Yasha, also an economics student.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Jo, I'm 20 and a classics student.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Charlie, I'm 21 and I'm an economics student.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Leo, I'm 22, a history student.

0:01:05 > 0:01:10JBs, welcome, Matt and team. Durham University is quite good I've heard.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15Quite good people go there. Some good people have been there.

0:01:15 > 0:01:21Hatfield is one of the Durham colleges and I was there, definitely before you were born.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Tell me what you want to do when you...grow up!

0:01:25 > 0:01:30What do you want to do when you leave Durham University, Matt?

0:01:30 > 0:01:37I was hoping to work in the City, but at the moment that's not looking like a good future for me,

0:01:37 > 0:01:44- so I hope the market picks up. - Investment banking?- Something like that would be nice.

0:01:44 > 0:01:51- Well, they've all gone... - I'm sure I can make a great career in modelling or something like that.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56Modelling! And what subjects? Economics? Classics? Anything else represented.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- History.- All right. Good spread.

0:01:59 > 0:02:05- Durham University. And isn't the cathedral beautiful?! - It is.- I miss it so much.

0:02:05 > 0:02:13Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers, or else the prize money rolls over.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, JBs, the Eggheads have won the last three games,

0:02:16 > 0:02:20which means £4,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24The first head to head battle is on Food and Drink.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Students, you've got to be good!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I think...- Charlie. - I think so, yeah.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Go on, Charlie.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Before you go, you have to pick a non-foodie Egghead.

0:02:38 > 0:02:45- Who do you want to play against? - Shall we go against Kevin? - Bold shout.- Take him down early.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49If he's here at the end, we'll lose. Let's get him gone now.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- We'll take on Kevin, then. - They sound confident.

0:02:53 > 0:02:59Charlie from the JBs against Kevin from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room.

0:02:59 > 0:03:05- Charlie, what's your ambition? - I'd quite like to get into sports journalism.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Broadcasting or writing?

0:03:07 > 0:03:13I'd be tempted by both. I quite like Angus Fraser or the guys on Test Match Special.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Something like that would be ideal. - Good luck with that and this. Three questions,

0:03:18 > 0:03:24- multiple choice, Food and Drink. First or second set? - I think I'll go first.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Here we go, Charlie.

0:03:27 > 0:03:35What term refers to the natural preservatives in wine coming from the pips, the skins and the stalks?

0:03:40 > 0:03:45I should know this, having been part of a wine society at school.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Endorphins are more related to the human body.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Endorphin release during exercise.

0:03:52 > 0:03:58Dioxins I'm not overly familiar with, but I've often heard of tannins with wine, so tannins.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Tannins is right, well done.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well done, Durham.

0:04:03 > 0:04:09Kevin, what part of the horseradish plant is principally used in cookery?

0:04:13 > 0:04:17I can't stand horseradish. I should say that.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20So...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- The stem.- The stem?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- JEREMY LAUGHS - Sorry.

0:04:28 > 0:04:36It's just that you are the cleverest man in the world and only on this subject do you become unclever.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- It is the root.- I just couldn't make up my mind between the two.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45OK, Durham. It's started well. Here's your question.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50Don't slip up. Anchovies are most closely related to which fish?

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Em...

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, anchovies are very small.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Very powerful flavour.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04It doesn't seem like cod or salmon, so I'll go with herring.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Herring's the right answer. Well done.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Kevin...

0:05:10 > 0:05:17What distinctive cactus-like fruit has a fuchsia-pink outer shell and watery white flesh

0:05:17 > 0:05:20dotted with small seeds?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I don't know.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30White flesh with little seeds in it?

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- I'll try star fruit. - OK, if you get this wrong,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39you've crashed out. No way back.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Don't seem to be at the races today.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47The answer is dragon fruit. You're wrong, Kevin. You're wrong.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Charlie, strategically very sound. Took Kevin on his weakest subject.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57He won't be in the final. You will. Well done to our JBs. Do come back and rejoin your teams.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04The challengers have lost no brains, the Eggheads one. It's early days.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07The next subject is Arts and Books.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You must all want this!

0:06:09 > 0:06:15- Absolutely not!- Jo? - It's got to be you. - You're very well read.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- She reads a lot of books. - We're going for Jo.

0:06:18 > 0:06:24- And who looks lost in literature? - I think CJ. Take out CJ.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29- CJ's looking smart. - OK, then, I'll take CJ. - This could be good.

0:06:29 > 0:06:36Jo from the JBs versus CJ from the Eggheads. Smirking for some reason.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44We'll ask you three questions on Arts and Books in turn.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Jo, the first or the second set? - I think I'll go first, please.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Good luck to you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54In JM Barrie's work Peter Pan,

0:06:54 > 0:06:57what unusual item did the crocodile swallow?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05I'm pretty confident about this one, so I'm going to go with clock.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Please.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Clock is the right answer.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12CJ, over to you.

0:07:12 > 0:07:20Which British artist is well known for his biblical illustrations and works inspired by his own visions?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Stubbs was far too sober for that sort of thing

0:07:29 > 0:07:35and Turner's landscapes were all very misty and surreal,

0:07:35 > 0:07:41but the one who was most prone, shall we say, to visions, and that sort of genre is Blake.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46William Blake is the right answer. Well done. Well done.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Over to you, Jo.

0:07:48 > 0:07:56What name is given to pieces of art put together using disparate elements scavenged by the artist?

0:08:02 > 0:08:07Um...I'm not entirely sure about this. I don't think it's ensemble.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm just going to go for a guess here.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14I'm going to go for assemblage.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Good guess, you're right. Assemblage it is.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Keeping the pressure up on our CJ.

0:08:21 > 0:08:27CJ, Crash is a 1973 novel by which writer?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Ah. Em...

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Oh, dear. Let's say it was...

0:08:38 > 0:08:42a follow-up to A Clockwork Orange. Anthony Burgess.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47JG Ballard is the answer, CJ. Bad luck.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49You've fallen behind.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Jo, get this right and you'll be in the final. CJ will not.

0:08:53 > 0:09:00Which writer became a Costa Book Award winner at the age of 91 in January 2009?

0:09:07 > 0:09:13Em, I'm not sure about this. I'm pretty sure I can rule out Andrea Levy.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I don't think she's that old.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Em...

0:09:17 > 0:09:23I'm going to go with the name that springs out to me. Hilary Spurling?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- But I'm not sure. - Hilary Spurling is incorrect.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- It was Diana Athill.- OK.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32So, CJ, you have a chance now.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35If you get this wrong, you're out.

0:09:35 > 0:09:42Which 19th-century US author and diplomat wrote under the comic pen name Diedrich Knickerbocker?

0:09:47 > 0:09:54I'm not aware of Mark Twain ever having been a diplomat. I don't know much about Longfellow.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58There's something nagging me that Irving was...

0:09:58 > 0:10:01He did have a government job.

0:10:01 > 0:10:08I would say he's probably the most comic of those three, so I'll try Washington Irving.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Washington Irving is correct. You've drawn level.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14That means it's sudden death.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17It's not multiple choice now, Jo.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- OK.- I'm looking for the answer from you.

0:10:21 > 0:10:27"The worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts

0:10:27 > 0:10:33"or start up right in bed with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37'"Pieces of eight!"' are the last words from which book?

0:10:37 > 0:10:41I assume it's something to do with sailing or ships.

0:10:41 > 0:10:48I really don't have a clue so I'm just going to guess. Moby Dick?

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I don't know. - Moby Dick it is not.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57- "Pieces of eight!" Eggheads? - Treasure Island.- That's right.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59OK, CJ, you can take this round

0:10:59 > 0:11:01and show your literary prowess.

0:11:01 > 0:11:09The acclaimed American naive artist Anna Mary Robertson Moses was better known by what nickname?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12She was Grandma Moses.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17Grandma Moses is the correct answer, CJ. You have just nipped in.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Jo, you won't be in the final

0:11:20 > 0:11:26with your fellow students. CJ, you will. Do come back to us here in the studio.

0:11:26 > 0:11:32The Eggheads and the Challengers have lost one brain each from our final round.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36- The next subject is Sport. Charlie, you've gone!- I know.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41- I think Matt. - It'll have to be Matt.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I'll take it.- Matt. - Daphne's good at sport.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Shall we go for Barry?

0:11:48 > 0:11:53- Barry, please.- All right. It's Matt versus Barry.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58Would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:11:58 > 0:12:05OK, three questions on sport, in turn, and Matt, you can choose the first or second set.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I think I'll go first.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Here's your question.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13What is the type of serve in tennis

0:12:13 > 0:12:18that imparts spin on the ball so it changes direction on bouncing?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Em...

0:12:23 > 0:12:27I'm pretty certain. Kick serve jumps out at me.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31I think that's the kick it gets from the spin.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33So I'll go with kick serve.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Kick serve is right. That was a tough question.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Did you know that, Judith?

0:12:39 > 0:12:45- It's the only one that's a real term.- Barry, how are you doing?

0:12:45 > 0:12:51- Fine, but I haven't had a question! - You've got colour co-ordinated shirts. You'll be fine.

0:12:51 > 0:12:57The Sheriff of Potingham, the Jester from Leicester and the Preston Potter

0:12:57 > 0:13:01are all nicknames of players in which sport?

0:13:05 > 0:13:10I think that's far too witty for bowls. I think that's snooker.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Snooker's right.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Matt, here's your second question.

0:13:15 > 0:13:21Which former England international footballer was nicknamed Butch?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm not 100% certain on this one.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33Em...I think I'm going to have to go with Ray Wilkins.

0:13:33 > 0:13:39- Is he right?- Yes.- Yeah, you're right. It's Ray Wilkins.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Barry,

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Germaine Mason, the Jamaican-born athlete who now represents Britain,

0:13:45 > 0:13:50won a silver medal in which event at the 2008 Olympic Games?

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I remember watching this. He did gloriously well in the high jump.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04High jump is the right answer. Well done.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Matt, over to you to put the pressure on Barry.

0:14:08 > 0:14:16The Boxing Day horse race known as the King George VI Chase is run over what distance?

0:14:20 > 0:14:25Em...I'm really not sure, so I'll have to go with three miles.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Three miles is the right answer. Well done.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- What made you choose that? - I thought a chase might be longer,

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- but I wasn't really sure. - Good enough for us.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Barry, get this wrong

0:14:39 > 0:14:46and it'll be your pink shirt that goes backstage in the final round, not Matt's.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51Apart from cricket, which sport has a marked area called the crease?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00A marked area? I don't think it's basketball.

0:15:00 > 0:15:06I don't think it's fencing. There's no markings on a fencing piste that I'm aware of.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09So I'll say ice hockey.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12And you're right. Ice hockey it is.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Scores are level.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18It goes to sudden death, Matt, OK? Not multiple choice.

0:15:18 > 0:15:26Which golf course in the Midlands hosted the Ryder Cup in 1985, 1989,

0:15:26 > 0:15:291993 and 2002?

0:15:29 > 0:15:35I can only really think of one notable golf course, but I don't know where it is.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'll go with that. The Belfry.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43- Eggheads, you're laughing. - Yes.- Cos he's right.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46The Belfry is right.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49OK, Barry.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55The father of which former tennis champion represented Iran

0:15:55 > 0:15:57at boxing

0:15:57 > 0:16:02in the 1948 and 1952 Olympics?

0:16:02 > 0:16:09- That was Andre Agassi's father. - Yes, it was Andre Agassi's father. How extraordinary.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11The kind of thing quizzers know.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15You know? Matt, you have to keep fighting here.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20Which sporting venue was nicknamed The House That Ruth Built

0:16:20 > 0:16:23shortly after it opened in 1923?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Er, I'm assuming this is Babe Ruth.

0:16:29 > 0:16:35And he's more than notable for being a New York Yankees player.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40- So I'd say Yankee Stadium. - Absolutely brilliant. You're right. Fantastic.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Barry, your question.

0:16:43 > 0:16:49Get this wrong and you're out. In April 1997, the Scottish racing driver Tom Walkinshaw

0:16:49 > 0:16:56became the chairman and majority shareholder of which rugby union club?

0:16:56 > 0:17:02I really don't know on this one so I shall pick one out of the air and say Saracens.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07No, the answer is Gloucester Rugby Club. Barry, you got it wrong.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Well done, Matt,

0:17:09 > 0:17:11and well done the JBs.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16You took on an Egghead and you emerged triumphant.

0:17:16 > 0:17:22Good news for the challengers. Matt will be in the final, Barry won't. Please come back to us.

0:17:22 > 0:17:29So the challengers have lost one brain from the final round, the Eggheads two. You're doing well.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32The last subject is Film and TV.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36You probably don't have time for it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:43- Who would you like to play against? And who wants to play? - I don't watch anything.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47I think we're going to go with Leo against Judith.

0:17:47 > 0:17:53- I don't watch anything either! - You do. Leo versus Judith. Please do take your positions.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Three questions, then, on Film and Television in turn.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Leo, first or second?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I think I'll take first, Jeremy.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Here we go.

0:18:07 > 0:18:13Daphne Moon and Roz Doyle were characters in which long-running US TV sitcom?

0:18:17 > 0:18:24Well, I know it's not Friends because I do watch a bit of Friends.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Frasier I've taken a passing interest in. I know roughly the plot.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33I've not come across many female characters in Frasier,

0:18:33 > 0:18:38to be honest, so I think on that basis,

0:18:38 > 0:18:43- I have to go for The Wonder Years. - Let me check with the Eggheads.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Frasier!- Frasier.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Frasier's the right answer. - That's a real blow.

0:18:49 > 0:18:55- Yes.- Roz is played by Peri Gilpin and Daphne is played by Jane Leeves.

0:18:55 > 0:19:00- OK, anything else?- No, that's all, thank you.- That's enough anyway.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Judith,

0:19:02 > 0:19:10what is the name of Wallace's love interest in the 1995 Wallace and Gromit film A Close Shave?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I have no idea!

0:19:21 > 0:19:25I think she might be Windolene or Wendolene.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Wendolene.- No?

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- It's the right answer.- It's not?

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Was it balls of wool she was doing?

0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Yes, she has hair out there. - Introduced us to Shaun the Sheep.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43So Wendolene gives Judith a little bit of an edge, Leo.

0:19:43 > 0:19:50Here's your question. In the 2001 film A Knight's Tale, starring Heath Ledger,

0:19:50 > 0:19:54which literary figure was played by Paul Bettany?

0:19:58 > 0:20:04Luckily, this plays a bit into my strengths as it is really history.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07And I have seen the film.

0:20:07 > 0:20:12I'm going to say Geoffrey Chaucer and I think that's right.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17You added "as I've seen the film". Yeah, that must help(!)

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Chaucer is the right answer.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24It just struck me you look amazingly like Prince Harry.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Has anyone said that before? - It's been said in the past.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33- What do you think, Judith? - I bowed when I saw him. I mean I curtseyed.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Does it cause any problems for you, Leo?- No, it's been a pleasure!

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Your question, Judith. Who plays the role of Stacey in the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56I hoped you were going to say EastEnders. I know Stacey in that.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01I've never watched it.

0:21:01 > 0:21:07- April Pearson? - Head in hands on this side of the studio, I'm afraid. Barry?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Joanna Page.- It was.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14So one point each.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Got you off the hook there, Leo. You need to get this one right now.

0:21:18 > 0:21:25The 1961 Western One-Eyed Jacks was the first and last film directed by which actor?

0:21:32 > 0:21:37None of the answers are really jumping out. Em...

0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'm going to go for Marlon Brando.

0:21:40 > 0:21:45Marlon Brando it was. Judith, your question now.

0:21:45 > 0:21:50If you get this wrong, you know what happens.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55Walter Neff is the main protagonist in which film noir classic?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05I haven't seen any of those films.

0:22:07 > 0:22:14- What about The Postman Always Rings Twice?- The Postman Always Rings Twice is...the wrong answer.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's Double Indemnity, Judith.

0:22:17 > 0:22:23- So I'm sorry, but... - Prince Harry wins!- Leo, well done!

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well done to the JBs.

0:22:25 > 0:22:31Congratulations, Leo. You are in the final round. Judith, you are not.

0:22:31 > 0:22:37Things are turning towards the JBs. We'll see what the last round brings. Do both come back to us.

0:22:39 > 0:22:45This is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:22:45 > 0:22:50Those of you who lost won't be allowed to take part.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56It is Jo from the JBs, but also Barry, Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:22:56 > 0:23:01This team are playing rather well. Please would you all leave the studio?

0:23:01 > 0:23:09OK, Matt, Yasha, Charlie and Leo, you are playing to win the JBs £4,000.

0:23:09 > 0:23:15CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:15 > 0:23:21I'll ask each team three questions in turn on General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25JBs, are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?

0:23:25 > 0:23:31- And would you like to go first or second?- We'll stick with what we did and go first, please.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35First question for the JBs.

0:23:35 > 0:23:40According to the saying, if you are penny-wise, you may also be what?

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Well, farthing-daft sounds... well, it sounds a bit daft.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Shilling-silly is a tongue-twister. - Pounds and pennies.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58- I agree with that. - That feels like a proverb.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03- So pound-foolish? - It's not a very good first question.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08- I think pound-foolish.- OK, Jeremy, we'll go with pound-foolish, please.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Penny-wise, pound-foolish. Correct.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Thanks.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Eggheads, your question.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20In which English county is the start of the Pennine Way National Trail?

0:24:24 > 0:24:29The start? I don't think it's as far north as North Yorkshire.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Or as far over as Nottinghamshire. I thought of Derbyshire first,

0:24:34 > 0:24:38- but I'm happy to be overruled. - No. Derbyshire.

0:24:40 > 0:24:45- You sure he's right, Daphne? - I was thinking the same thing.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Derbyshire is correct. Hesitation on the first questions.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53My goodness. This is tense. Over to you, JBs.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58The lebkuchen is a traditional biscuit from which country?

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Our resident expert. - Our European friend.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09I'm fairly sure that's Germany.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Germany is right. Eggheads...

0:25:13 > 0:25:17The kip is the standard monetary unit of which country?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35It is the... It's Laos.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Laos. Or Lay-os.- Yeah.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Or Lao.- Laos is your answer?

0:25:43 > 0:25:49- Yes.- It's the right answer. Your third question, JBs.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Hold focus here. Don't drift off.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58The Hollywood-set play Hurly Burly is a work by which author?

0:26:05 > 0:26:10I've heard of Kushner and Larson. I haven't heard of Rabe.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13That's no reason to discount him.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16No, of course not.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21- It's up to you.- It's guesswork.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23- No pressure(!)- Go with it.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28We don't know this, unfortunately, but we'll guess Kushner, please.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Kushner. Tony Kushner.

0:26:30 > 0:26:35Just because it's got a Kush in it or what?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Sounds like a good name with that.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40It was David Rabe.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Now here's the situation. You've let them in.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49This could be disastrous. You have to hope that they slip up.

0:26:49 > 0:26:55Sometimes on the third question they do. Particularly these two because they start bickering.

0:26:55 > 0:27:00So let's see what happens now. Get this right and you've won.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Romulus and Remus, legendary founders of Rome,

0:27:04 > 0:27:08were supposedly guarded by a she-wolf and which other creature?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20I knew it was a bird!

0:27:20 > 0:27:25- Something is drawing me to woodpecker, but I don't know... - That's what...

0:27:25 > 0:27:29Out of those three, woodpecker jumped out at me.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32That was my thought, so here we go.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's a woodpecker.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39You've been drawn towards woodpecker by the faint sound of pecking?

0:27:39 > 0:27:46- Or something distant? - No, just something...- It occurred to us both and that's good enough.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Have the students got one up on you?

0:27:49 > 0:27:53It's a she-wolf and what do you think?

0:27:53 > 0:27:57We looked at Barry's face. He seems to think woodpecker!

0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Is it right, Barry? - Absolutely right.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's right. Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.

0:28:10 > 0:28:15And I was secretly rooting for you as a fellow Durham graduate.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Commiserations. And you played hard and well,

0:28:19 > 0:28:24but the Eggheads did what comes naturally. They still reign supreme.

0:28:24 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you won't be going home with £4,000. The money rolls over.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:32 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers do it.

0:28:37 > 0:28:41£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
