0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Their pedigree is well known as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz champions today,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are the Eggs Men. Maybe I should say "X-Men"?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46The team of friends attend either the London School of Economics
0:00:46 > 0:00:47or Imperial College, London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50They're all extremely clever. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 21 and I'm a maths student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Kushal, I'm 22 and I study economics.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 19 and I'm an engineering student.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Will, I'm 20 and I'm a philosophy student.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 20 and I'm a maths student.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Eggs Men, welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Chris, you meet through football, having said
0:01:11 > 0:01:15you're all clever, you actually kick a ball about. Is that right?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Yeah, every Saturday, we've got a five-a-side team.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And we're doing pretty well at the moment, although...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23our last few results haven't been the greatest.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We lost to last-minute goals.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh, dear.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Is that a fitness issue?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Yeah, I think it probably is. We don't do much exercise other than that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Good luck, guys.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They're high-powered and they're also young.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- So watch out, Eggheads.- So young...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Every day there is... So young did you say?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Most of my grandchildren are older than they are.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- They could be your great-grandchildren!- Yes!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48THEY ALL LAUGH
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Every day there's £1000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, Eggs Men,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Are you ready to try?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06ALL: Yes!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Don't hesitate now, that's not a good idea!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13The first head-to-head battle is on Film and Television.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Who will take this,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and against which Egghead?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Will.- It's got to be you. - It's me, then!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Who do you want?- Oh, um... - Anyone but Kevin.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Um, CJ perhaps?- Yeah? - Yeah, let's go with CJ.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Yeah, we'll go with CJ, if that's all right.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Will, from the Eggs Men versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36To ensure there's no conferring, please would you take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Three multiple-choice questions.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Will, you can choose the first or second set.- The first set, if I may.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Here we go, good luck.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51Who plays the title role in the 1993 film, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Oh well, yeah, I've seen this film, I know it pretty well.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's really good. Johnny Depp, definitely.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05He might have won an Academy Award for this, as well.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06That's the correct answer.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07CJ, did he win an Award?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Johnny Depp's never won an Oscar.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14OK. It's the way he, sort of pours water on us that I...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17..just cold water, being doused with it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Will, you've got a point. Don't let him put you off.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21CJ, your question.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27In 2008, "I'm not doddery, doddery I am not"
0:03:27 > 0:03:32became a catchphrase of which TV personality?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I think this came up
0:03:37 > 0:03:40with his ongoing hosting of Strictly Come Dancing.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's Bruce Forsyth.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Bruce Forsyth...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45is the correct answer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Will,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51what is the first name of DCI Tennison, played by Helen Mirren,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53in the TV series, Prime Suspect?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Right, I have absolutely no idea about any of that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03The only thing I know, is Helen Mirren is an actress...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06who played the Queen. Um...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I reckon, let's go for a name that sounds like it might belong to
0:04:10 > 0:04:14a policewoman of some sort. So, shall we go for Jane. I think Jane.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Got a good feeling about Jane. Probably wrong, but give it a go.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Jane is right, well done.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Well, there we go.- Jane Tennison.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Good use of logic there.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm a philosophy student!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, I was going to say!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33But you did it much quicker than a philosophy student should do, I suppose.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38CJ, in the 2001 film, Shallow Hal,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42who played a 300lb woman called Rosemary Shanahan?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Um, you'll be amazed to hear I haven't seen this film.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But I know it's got Jack Black in it
0:04:54 > 0:04:57who's hypnotised, or somehow persuaded,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00to see women for their inner beauty.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And it's played by Gwyneth Paltrow.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It is played by Gwyneth Paltrow, well done.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Will, here's your next question.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Rita Moreno and George Chakiris
0:05:12 > 0:05:15won Best Supporting Actress and Actor Oscars
0:05:15 > 0:05:18for their roles in which musical film?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Right, OK that's tricky.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I don't really know at all, but it seemed to work last time,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33so I reckon West Side Story because it was a really good film,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I can see it being awarded lots of nominees.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So yeah, let's have a go at West Side Story.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41See if that works out.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43West Side Story is correct.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I don't know how you did that, but it's right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Your question CJ, if you get this wrong, we'll all laugh...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I mean to say, you won't be in the final. That's what I meant.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55In the 1924, silent film, Der Letzte Mann,
0:05:55 > 0:06:01or, The Last Laugh, Emil Jannings plays an ageing what?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Ah, this I don't know. It's going to have to be a blind guess.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Emil Jannings won the first ever Best Actor Oscar,
0:06:14 > 0:06:15but not this film.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I've got nothing to go on here. I really don't know this.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Emil Jannings plays an ageing doorman who sees life come and go
0:06:30 > 0:06:32through the doors of his hotel.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So it's doorman -
0:06:34 > 0:06:37he says, blindly putting a pin in the paper.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Ha-ha! Your answer is doorman.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41It's right.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Doorman is correct. CJ, well done.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Three out of three for you both. You're playing really well.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51It's equal after the multiple-choice section, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52- Will, OK?- Yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Here it's more difficult. You don't get three alternatives,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57you've got to give me the answer.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Which member of The Monkees went on to produce and direct
0:07:00 > 0:07:04the British children's TV shows Metal Mickey and Luna?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Either I'm too old, or I'm too young
0:07:06 > 0:07:11because I've not seen either of those TV shows before. Um...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Yeah, I can't even tell you any members of The Monkees
0:07:14 > 0:07:16to be quite honest with you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Think up a name of somebody that could potentially be a Monkee...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Um...Boris.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Boris...and then a monkey last name...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27er, Bananas?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30OK... It would be fantastic if that was the right answer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The answer is Micky Dolenz.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK, CJ, you may be about to beat
0:07:37 > 0:07:39a philosophy student. Let's see.
0:07:39 > 0:07:46The old music business adage that if a Tin Pan Alley doorman could repeat your tune after one hearing,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50you had a hit on your hands, gave its name to which TV programme.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I've never heard that, but logically, The Old Grey Whistle Test?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00The Old Grey Whistle Test is the correct answer.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02CJ's won the round. Will, sorry.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- That was fun, wasn't it? - Yeah, good stuff.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Never mind, it's early days. You won't be in the final,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11CJ will. Please, both of you, rejoin us here.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16As it stands the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains. Our next subject is Sport.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22A five-a-side football team...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- who is the key player? - Got to be Matt.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- It's mine.- Matthew, against...?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Who am I taking?- Chris.- Yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31All right, it's Chris.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34OK, Matthew from Eggs Men versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm going to ask each of you three questions on sport.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Matt, you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46OK, I think I'll go first, please.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Here's your first question, Matt. Good luck.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Which sport begins with a jump ball or a tip-off?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well jump ball, it doesn't sound to me like ice hockey,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08so I think I'll rule that one out.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Er...a jump ball or a tip-off.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I wish this question was on football, I really do.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It could be volleyball, it could be basketball
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'm going to have to go with volleyball.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Then sorry, Matt. You're wrong.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It's basketball. But don't worry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Chris has thrown his toys out the pram on sport before now.
0:09:32 > 0:09:39Which team were beaten by ten wickets in the finale of the 2008 Twenty20, Stanford Super Series
0:09:39 > 0:09:43which saw the winning team walk away with 20 million?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That must have been England. We're not that good any more.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52England.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56That's the correct answer. Matthew, on to you.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Which British driver was runner-up in the Formula One Championships
0:10:00 > 0:10:03every year between 1955 and 1958.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Oh dear. I wish this was a bit more of a modern question,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16because I would definitely know the answer.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I know Jim Clark was World Champion, I think in 1962.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22But I'm not entirely sure about that. So it could be him.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Stirling Moss, I know he's always dubbed the greatest driver
0:10:26 > 0:10:30never to win the World Championship, and we're talking '50s.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33So, I'm going to have to go with Stirling Moss.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Just, as a bit of a blind guess.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm going to go with Stirling Moss.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Spot on. Stirling Moss is right. Well done, Matthew.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I know you're relieved.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I am. It would be all over if it wasn't for that one.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Well, not quite, but it could be. Chris,
0:10:46 > 0:10:51In which year did Pete Sampras win his last Wimbledon singles tennis title?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04He's been off the scene quite a long time, hasn't he?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Don't think he was still around in '04,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11but I think it was after 2000. So I'll go down the middle, 2002.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Wrong. It was 2000, Chris. - Was it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So you're level now. Matthew, if you get this one right,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23you'll put pressure on him, and he doesn't like his sport very much.
0:11:23 > 0:11:30Who did Stephen Hendry defeat 18-17 in the final of the 1994 Snooker World Championship.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40OK, Jimmy White has been in a lot of finals and never won.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43John Parrott won in 1991.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46And Steve Davis, six times world champion, but I think maybe,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50he was a bit past his best come that time. And we're talking '94.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- '94.- So I think I'll have to go for Jimmy White.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56You're really good on sport, aren't you? I can tell.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Jimmy White is right.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Chris, if you get this question wrong, you've lost the head-to-head.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Which 46-year-old boxer was beaten on points
0:12:06 > 0:12:10by the seven-feet-tall Russian, Nikolay Valuev,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14in a World Heavyweight Title bout in December 2008?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22He's 46, you say?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Which 46-year-old boxer...
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Don't think it was Mike Tyson. Don't think he's boxing these days.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I think it was the last throw of the dice by Evander Holyfield.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36If you get this right, you're back in it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39If you get it wrong you're not in the final.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Evander Holyfield is correct.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well done, Eggheads.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Back in there. Interesting round.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Three questions each, the scores are level. We move now to Sudden Death.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Matt, it gets that bit harder.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56At Beijing in 2008, Italy's Alex Schwazer
0:12:56 > 0:13:03established a new Olympic walking record of 3 hours, 37 minutes and 9 seconds over what distance?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I can...I can only guess. Um, bit of an obscure question.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I would have to say the marathon.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17I know to run it, the best guys take about two hours to run it,
0:13:17 > 0:13:22so to walk, maybe three and a half hours, sounds like it could maybe, possibly be right?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23So I'll go for marathon.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- You need to give me a distance. - 26.2 miles.
0:13:27 > 0:13:3026.2 miles is wrong.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's 50km.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38OK. Chris, if you get this one right you are through to the final.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43To what was Wimbledon Football Club's name changed in 2004?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Milton Keynes Dons. MK Dons.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Milton Keynes Dons is the correct answer, so...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Chris wins on sport.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Get the bunting out!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Matthew, sorry.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- And you'll be having nightmares about basketball.- I will, forever!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Never mind. You won't be in the final, Chris will.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16So as it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains now from the final round.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22And the next subject is Arts and Books.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, students?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Yep.- Bite the bullet. Matt W.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Matt W, against?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Um...who do you think?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I think go for Barry.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Go against Barry, please.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38OK, so Matt W, from the Eggs Men versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Three questions now on Arts and Books.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Matt, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first, please.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Good luck to you, Matt W. Here we go.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The Deadzone and The Stand are novels by which writer?
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Er, I'm not sure. But Deadzone, I guess that could be Stephen King.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14That sounds like the kind of thing he'd write.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17To be honest I haven't really heard of the other two,
0:15:17 > 0:15:18so I'll go with Stephen King.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Well done, Stephen King is absolutely right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Barry, your question.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Gilderoy Lockhart is a character created by which writer?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38He is a Professor Against The Dark Arts in the JK Rowling stories,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40wonderfully played by Kenneth Branagh.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45You are absolutely right. It is JK Rowling, well done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Your second question, Matt.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52The 1890 canvas entitled Wheat Field With Crows
0:15:52 > 0:15:56is thought to be among the last works of which painter?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Wheat fields...if you'd said sunflower fields, I'd say Van Gogh.
0:16:09 > 0:16:16I'm not sure, but I think I'll go with Van Gogh, because of the fields.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It's not much, but it's all I've got!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You're right. Van Gogh is right.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24He did a field before,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27so this field must have been his. I like it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Barry, your question.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Which author won the 2008 Best of Booker,
0:16:32 > 0:16:38a prize given to the author of the book voted by the public as the best of all the Booker winners.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I think the Best of the Bookers was Midnight's Children,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48by Salman Rushdie.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Salman Rushdie is the right answer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Was it for Midnight's Children? Was it that book?- Yes.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK. Your question, Matthew.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Which French artist's style was nicknamed "tubism" by some critics,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07referring to his rendering of the human body as a mass of slabs and cylinders?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Ha! Third time lucky, this time with no clue.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Um...
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Perhaps, Leger sounds... It sounds slightly familiar.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So I'll go with Fernand Leger. Complete guess again.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Fernand Leger.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Are you a lucky person usually?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Not usually. Actually, this is kind of a first.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Well, it's come at the right time because Leger is correct.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Well done. You've put pressure on Barry.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You might be about to knock out an Egghead. Here's hoping.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Barry, who wrote the poem, Goblin Market?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02It's one of my favourite poems and it was by Christina Rossetti.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Christina Rossetti is the correct answer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Three out of three for you both. Matt, you've taken him
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- right up to Sudden Death. It gets harder now.- I'm in trouble!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The guessing needs to be even better.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I need the answer from you this time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- You ready?- Yes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:26Which stage direction became the title of a 1982 play by Michael Frayn?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Ah, oh dear. Um...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm just going to hazard a completely random guess.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34All My Sons.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Not, All My Sons.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Didn't think so.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44I guess that's Arthur Miller. Michael Frayn's play was called, Noises Off.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- OK.- And it's one of these things
0:18:46 > 0:18:49where you see the back of the stage, don't you, the back of the set.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Barry, you get this right and you're through.
0:18:53 > 0:19:00Which famous publishing house was started by Sir Allen Lane in 1935,
0:19:00 > 0:19:05to produce high quality paperback books in Britain?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I have a few examples of his work in my house.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The publishing house was Penguin.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17The publishing house was indeed Penguin. Barry, well done. You got that right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And you've won on Sudden Death. Bad luck, Matt.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You won't be in the final round I'm afraid, and Barry will.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31As it stands, the Challengers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35The Eggheads still haven't lost any brains. Our last subject is Politics.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's got to be Kushal or Christopher.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44You'd have thought since Kushal goes to the London School of... What is it?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Economics and Political Science.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50..he'd be the one to choose, but unfortunately, that's not the case.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- I'm going to have to sacrifice myself.- You may come through. Who do you want to play against?- Um...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- It's Daphne or Kevin. - Daphne or Kevin.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Shall I go for Daphne? - I think so, yeah.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Chris from the Eggs Men versus Daphne from the Eggheads. You can't escape Kevin,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08he will be there in the final round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Please, to ensure there's no conferring, leave the studio and go to the Question Room.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Three questions on politics, in turn. Chris, you can choose the first or second set.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I think I'm probably going to be a bit different. I'll go second and see if that changes my luck.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Here we go, Daphne.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32Which road in London is often used as a shorthand for the British Civil Service?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Um, must be Whitehall.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It must be, and it is, Whitehall. Well done.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50The Senedd building, home to the Welsh National Assembly, is based in which city?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I haven't actually heard of the building itself...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It seems like Cardiff is the easy answer
0:21:04 > 0:21:09But, Swansea...it seems as if it should be Swansea.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13No idea why, so I'm going to go for that answer.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Swansea.- Swansea is your answer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- CJ, you're from Wales.- I am.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Has he got it right or wrong? - It's in Cardiff Bay.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26The obvious one was the right one, Chris. Cardiff was the answer there.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Apologies to all our Welsh viewers.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Daphne, you're ahead, here's your second question.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Who was Chancellor of the Exchequer on Black Wednesday,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40when Britain crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I think Norman Lamont got all the blame, didn't he?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Norman Lamont is the correct answer.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Over to you, Chris.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01In the European policy known as CAP,
0:22:01 > 0:22:02for what does the letter "A" stand?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11From reading The Economist, they go on about CAP all the time.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13They hate it.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's the Common Agricultural Policy.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16So it's Agriculture.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Agriculture is the right answer. well done.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Daphne, if you get this one right,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27you will have knocked out Chris.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Leaving them with only one player in the finals.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33So the stakes are quite high here.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37In 1987, which member of the Monty Python team
0:22:37 > 0:22:41recorded a party political broadcast for the SDP Liberal Alliance?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Could be any of them.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Simply because John Cleese comes from Weston-super-Mare,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58just like me, John Cleese.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I don't know.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03John Cleese is the right answer, Daphne.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08The Weston-super-Mare connection worked wonders for you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10That means you've taken the round, well done.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Chris, sorry you were beaten by our Egghead there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16You won't be able to help your team in the final, either.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19It's looking a bit lonely, that final round, now.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I knew Daphne's first two questions. If only I chose...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26That does happen. Please, both of you come back and rejoin us now.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's time for our final round, General Knowledge.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:35 > 0:23:38won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Chris, Matt W, Will and Matt T from the Eggs Men,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46would you please leave the studio.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- So you're at the London School of Economics?- That's right.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And your colleagues don't often leave you alone like this?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It does feel a bit lonely here. But I'll be all right.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00You're playing to win the Eggs Men £6,000.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- They will be very grateful to you if you do it.- I'm sure they will!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Be interesting to see how you split it!
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Kevin, CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for The Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn, and this time it's all General Knowledge.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You can confer...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20But...well.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26Kushal, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Don't answer that!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Good luck to you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38In which craft is moquette most commonly used?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It's a tricky one.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I don't think it's book-binding at all.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I don't think it's lacemaking.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's a bit of a guess...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but I'll go for upholstery.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Your team just have an ability to guess that is quite amazing.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Upholstery is correct. Well done.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09They are very pleased backstage.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Eggheads, your first question.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16During training to be a barrister, what term refers to the final stage,
0:25:16 > 0:25:21usually spent in a set of chambers, under the supervision of a qualified barrister?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Pupillage.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Pupillage is right, Eggheads.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34One each.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Kushal, your question.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Sex on Fire was a UK number one hit single for which band in 2008?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48A very popular song.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I could probably sing it to you, but I only sing in the shower.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54It's Kings of Leon.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Kings of Leon is correct. Well done.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Back to you, Eggheads. Pressure on.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04In Greek mythology, Penelope, the wife of Odysseus,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08famously put off her potential suitors by what action?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19She used to put them off by the fact
0:26:19 > 0:26:22she said she would make a choice about marrying one of them,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26when she finished the weaving that she was doing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30But every night she would un-pick it again so she never finished the job.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32So undoing her weaving.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Undoing her weaving is the right answer, well done, Eggheads.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Kushal,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40if you get this right, then there's always a chance...
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It can fall apart, it happens a lot. Here's your question.
0:26:44 > 0:26:51Which fruit grows on a tree, scientifically known as Mespilus Germanica,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55and is not fit to eat until it has begun to decay.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Mespilus Germanica?
0:27:05 > 0:27:10This is going to be a guess again because I honestly have no idea.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'll go for Mongongo.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I'm afraid you're wrong. Medlar is the right answer, not Mongongo.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23So we are in the hands of the fates here.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Eggheads, this for the contest.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Lord King, often dubbed Mrs Thatcher's favourite businessman, was chairman of which company?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42He was Lord King of Wartnaby and he was chairman of British Airways.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Chairman of British Airways?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46If you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Lord King was chairman of British Airways.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Kushal, thanks for playing. I hope it wasn't too painful seeing all your colleagues ejected?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09This could be for team spirit when you next play five-a-side.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13I don't know. We'll probably lose again, it's been the trend lately.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Their winning streak continues, they are doing quite well at the moment.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be leaving with £6,000. That money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28And, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will ever beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37£7,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
