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 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their quiz pedigree is well-known
0:00:31 > 0:00:34as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And taking on the might of our quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are Quantum of Taxes from Hampshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Team captain, Bijal, has called upon the quizzing talents
0:00:44 > 0:00:46of the four brightest people she knows -
0:00:46 > 0:00:51three of her former work colleagues and her husband, Manish.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52So let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Bijal. I'm 41 and I'm a tax officer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Manish. I'm 39 and I'm a global finance manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Val.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'm 54 and I'm an admin assistant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Matt. I'm 38 and I'm a tax officer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Sue. I'm 49 and I'm a tax officer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So welcome, Quantum of Taxes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hello.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And, Bijal, Manish, your husband, is not a tax person.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- That's right. - So what do you do, then?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I work for an IT company. I'm in the finance department of that company.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- So you all do numbers, essentially, and pound notes.- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- How do you feel against this lot? - Quietly confident. - Quietly confident.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45The Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food And Drink.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Challengers, which one of you wants this?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Do you want to do Food And Drink? Or... I said I'd do it, didn't I?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yeah, go for it. - We were hoping Kevin would be here.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03THEY LAUGH
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You're out of luck. Kevin's famous food and drink problems.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Who do you reckon, guys?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Chris?- CJ?- We'll go for CJ.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- So, Bijal?- Yes.- OK, Bijal from Quantum Of Taxes
0:02:17 > 0:02:19against CJ from the Eggheads on food and drink.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Please, go to the question room.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Food And Drink. Three questions, multiple-choice
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and, Bijal, for the Challengers,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Here we go.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41Which potent spirit, Bijal, is made from the juice of the agave plant?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48OK. I'm not a spirit drinker
0:02:48 > 0:02:54so this would have to really be a guess.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm going to go for tequila, I think. Straight down the middle.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Tequila is the right answer.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well done.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06CJ, your question.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10What name is given to the thin, crispy wafers traditionally served
0:03:10 > 0:03:12as an appetiser in British curry restaurants?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18They are poppadoms, Jeremy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22They are. You said that in a very menacing voice.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Yes, because that's probably the only one I'm going to get right.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Poppadom is the right answer, CJ. Well done.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31OK, Bijal.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37The TV cook who is the daughter of the Poet Laureate, Cecil Day-Lewis,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39uses what first name?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I've not heard of any of those.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm going to go with Millicent.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Millicent is your answer.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Eggheads, do you know?- Tamasin.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's Tamasin Day-Lewis, is it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59She used to be in the Saturday Telegraph
0:03:59 > 0:04:01or the Sunday Telegraph, but not any more.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's Tamasin Day-Lewis. Sorry.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07So, CJ's chance to pull ahead on food and drink.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12The dried spice called cloves consists of what, CJ?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I remember seeing them. They're little black things, aren't they?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23When I was younger I had, was it oil of cloves
0:04:23 > 0:04:26to help with the toothache? It not only tasted disgusting,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28it made the toothache worse.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32But I think they're little black, open flower buds.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Someone's nodding.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- That's a good sign.- They're nodding dogs on the right, the Eggheads.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41They and you are right. Flower buds is correct.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44OK, Bijal, you need this one now,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46otherwise CJ is in the final.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Which Japanese name which can be translated as "beans on branches"
0:04:51 > 0:04:55is now frequently used in Britain to describe young, green soya beans?
0:05:01 > 0:05:07OK. Gyoza, I think, is a kind of dumpling
0:05:07 > 0:05:10because I remember I wanted it last night
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and they didn't have it on the menu.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I went to a Chinese restaurant - Japanese restaurant.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I think it's going to be gyoza
0:05:21 > 0:05:24because that's the only vegetarian option
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I saw on the menu in the Japanese restaurant,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30so I'm going to have to go with that, I think.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32OK, that's a shame because,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35with the menu, you must have been so near the answer there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And it's edamame. It's not gyoza.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42So, CJ,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- you've triumphed on Food And Drink. - There's a surprise.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46A man who drinks and eats nothing.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Bijal, You were beaten by our Egghead
0:05:49 > 0:05:51so you won't be in the final, I'm afraid.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain
0:05:56 > 0:06:00from the final round, while the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Next subject for Quantum of Taxes is Music.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, what's the plan here?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10You said either Sport or Music, so Music.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Who are you going to go against? - I'll do Music.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15OK. Manish does Music against...?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'll take Daphne on for Music.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Right. Manish from Quantum Of Taxes
0:06:22 > 0:06:25against Daphne, on Music, from the Eggheads.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- You love your musicals, we know that.- Yes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Not so good on rap.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- No.- To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35would you please take your positions?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So I'll ask each of you three questions on Music in turn.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42And, Manish, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'll go first please, Jeremy. Thank you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50What type of musical instrument is a cornet?
0:06:54 > 0:07:00I think you blow into a cornet, so I don't think it's a string instrument.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I'm going to go with percussion.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06MOUTHS: What?!
0:07:06 > 0:07:11You've thrown me completely because you said you blow into it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh! Oh, no!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think you did mean brass.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yes, I did. I'm sorry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20No, I'm sorry.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Percussion is wrong, brass is the correct answer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24We know what you were trying to say.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Daphne, In The Air Tonight was the title of which artist's
0:07:28 > 0:07:31first UK solo hit single?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I don't know.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Oh, dear!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Oh, dear. Phil Collins.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51No?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Fate is cruel.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56A lucky guess is always right.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00You're right. "I don't know" is always followed by the right answer.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Daphne, Phil Collins it was. You got the answer right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK, Manish,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07we wiped away the percussion thought.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The Verve, famously fronted by the singer Richard Ashcroft,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13were formed in which town?
0:08:19 > 0:08:24I've heard of The Verve.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Um, I'm not sure what town.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I'm going to hazard a guess at Wolverhampton.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Just one to the left, I'm afraid.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Wigan. Not Wolverhampton, but Wigan.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38That means, Daphne,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40if you get this right,
0:08:40 > 0:08:45you will have won the round cleanly.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Mary From The Dairy was the signature tune
0:08:47 > 0:08:49of which British music hall entertainer?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Oh, dear.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02I can remember hearing this, I mean, I'm that old. It's Max Miller.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04How did it go, Mary From The Dairy?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Please don't ask her to sing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I don't know...- CJ is saying, "Please don't ask her to sing."
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Exactly. Don't ask. I could clear the studio, I promise.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Chris, you've got to sing it, then.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I know the first line.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22# I'm in love with Mary from the dairy... #
0:09:22 > 0:09:25'Ere, Missus. I went home last night, here's a funny thing.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26That is a funny thing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32You're right, Daphne. Max Miller, it is. Two questions have been enough
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and you will be in the final round.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Manish, sorry. You were beaten by our Egghead, which does happen.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43We won't mention the brass again. Do, both of you,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49OK, Challengers, don't worry - we build from here.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54As it stands, you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Eggheads - untouched. No brains gone.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Next subject is History.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It can't be Manish or Bijal.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Who wants this? - Do you want me to take it?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think you're going to have to.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Sue.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14OK, Sue, who would you like to take on? It can't be CJ or Daphne.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Barry, please.- Interesting choice. He does love his history.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Sue from the Quantum of Taxes against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:10:26 > 0:10:27in the question room.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Three questions on History in turn.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Sue, you can choose the first or second set.- The first set, please.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Here's your first question.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37The French Foreign Legion
0:10:37 > 0:10:40was originally founded as a military unit to support
0:10:40 > 0:10:41the conquest of which country?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I don't think it was India.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I think it's Algeria or Spain.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I tend towards...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'll go for Algeria.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Algeria is the right answer, well done.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Well done.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Barry, your question.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05From which type of wood
0:11:05 > 0:11:09was the medieval English longbow traditionally made?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18A longbow needed to be able to be pulled quite significantly
0:11:18 > 0:11:21on the side, so it needed to be a wood of great power and strength,
0:11:21 > 0:11:26and the only one there that has that degree of strength is the yew.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yew is correct. It's the yew.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Over to you, Sue. Who was the first Lord of the Admiralty
0:11:35 > 0:11:38at the outbreak of World War I?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well, Churchill was World War II,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47so I would say it would be Asquith or Haig.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'll go for Asquith.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Asquith is your answer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Do I sense this team know the answer?- It's Churchill.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yes, you were just looking like, "No, don't rule him out!"
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Churchill is the answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Barry, here is your question, then.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11During World War II,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14what type of military vehicle was the Gloster Gladiator?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It was a fighter plane.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24You don't sound very uncertain.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's because I'm not.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It was a fighter plane.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33OK, let's move on.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Sue, it's fair to say you need to get this one right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39OK? What was the name of the Italian philosopher
0:12:39 > 0:12:44who was burnt at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600
0:12:44 > 0:12:48for his heretical ideas about astronomy?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Difficult.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I don't think it was Bruno.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'm going to go for...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10..Cleghi, the middle one.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Cleghi?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Was it Cleghi?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I would have gone for di Cremona.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It was Giordano Bruno.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Yeah, I said it was Bruno.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yeah, Bruno's the right answer, not Cleghi.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Sue, you won't be in the final and Barry will.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Another victorious round for our Eggheads.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34The Challengers have now lost three brains
0:13:34 > 0:13:37from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- The last subject before the final is Arts and Books.- Oh!
0:13:41 > 0:13:42We knew it would be Arts and Books!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44But you're bookkeepers.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I will take one for the team.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- Will you?- Yes, I think you're going to have to.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I will take Chris with me, if that's OK.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Matt from Quantum of Taxes versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Please, both of you, go to the question room now.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Good luck in this round. Three questions on Arts and Books in turn.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Matt, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'll go for the first, please.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Here we go.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Pemberley, widely believed to be
0:14:15 > 0:14:20based on Chatsworth House, is the home of which literary character?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I have very little idea,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31but I'll get rid of Heathcliff,
0:14:31 > 0:14:38because it sounds too grand a house for Heathcliff to reside in.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'm going to plump for Fitzwilliam Darcy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Fitzwilliam Darcy is spot on.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Well done.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Chris, the line,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52"He calls the knaves Jacks, this boy",
0:14:52 > 0:14:53is said by which character
0:14:53 > 0:14:56in Charles Dickens's novel, Great Expectations?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It doesn't sound like something Estella would say.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Or does it?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Of course, initially, Estella despises Pip, doesn't she?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So it would be Estella, saying that,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17"This boy is riff-raff because he calls the Jacks knaves."
0:15:17 > 0:15:18It's Estella.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You started wrong and ended up right!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Estella is the right answer. One-each.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Matt, in which field of the arts did the Hungarian-born Robert Capa
0:15:29 > 0:15:31become well known in the 20th century?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I've heard of the name.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I haven't heard of him in relation to architecture,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48so I'll take a wild stab at sculpture.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Sculpture.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Bijal, do you know?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Photography.- Sorry, Matt, it's photography.- Never mind.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58OK, Chris.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Which American crime author wrote a series of novels
0:16:01 > 0:16:03that came to be known as The LA Quartet?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Ah, yes, that's the Onion Field and the others, isn't it,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14about corrupt cops? It's Elmore Leonard.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18You're wrong, Chris.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- It's James Ellroy, in that case. - It is James Ellroy.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23OK, Matt, your question.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Who said, "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world,"
0:16:28 > 0:16:30in his essay A Defence Of Poetry?
0:16:33 > 0:16:38I'm veering between one and then the other,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40but I'm going to plump for...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Keats.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Based on nothing, but a strong gut feeling.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The gut feeling says Keats, is he right?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51He was about to go for the right answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Shelley, it is. Shelley, Matt.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Chris, your question,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58for the round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Gordianus the Finder is the main protagonist in a series of novels
0:17:02 > 0:17:04set in ancient Rome by which author?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10As far as I know, the only one of those
0:17:10 > 0:17:14that writes novels set in ancient Rome is Conn Iggulden.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I've never heard of Lindsey Davis or Steven Saylor,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I'll have to go with Conn Iggulden.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Conn Iggulden...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22is wrong.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's Steven Saylor.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So, after three questions,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30you have one point each - we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It gets a bit harder now, Matt,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35because I need the answer from you, not multiple-choice. Are you ready?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Published in 1958, Memoirs Of A Dutiful Daughter
0:17:39 > 0:17:45is the first volume of the autobiography of which French writer, Matt?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm not sure I know any French writers.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55No, I've no idea.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I have nothing.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Is that a pass?- It is a pass.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Eggheads?- ALL: Simone de Beauvoir.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Simone de Beauvoir, they all chorused together.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Chris, your question,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08this for the round.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Which Alan Ayckbourn play tells of the widower, Guy Jones,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14who joins an amateur dramatic society
0:18:14 > 0:18:18which is putting on a production of The Beggar's Opera?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21That is A Chorus Of Disapproval.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25A Chorus Of Disapproval is the right answer, Chris, Well done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Matt, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:18:27 > 0:18:32so as a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Would you both please come back and rejoin your team mates?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40it is time for our final round.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47I'm afraid there has been a bit of damage to Quantum of Taxes. Who's left, actually?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- She's our secret weapon.- Right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Those who lost your head-to-heads can't take part in this round.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57That is Bijal, Manish, Matt and Sue from the Challengers.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Please now leave the studio.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, Val, you're playing to win Quantum of Taxes £7,000.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Judith,
0:19:06 > 0:19:11you're playing for something money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21The question is, Val, is your one brain
0:19:21 > 0:19:23better than the Eggheads' five?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'll keep with tradition and go first.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Good luck. Lots of people watching are rooting for you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Which word, Val,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42means to hit the ball in golf or cricket with a weak, lifting motion?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well, I don't play golf,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51so that's a disadvantage.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I would think if you were lifting something, you'd spoon it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59So, I'll say spoon.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Good one, it's right. Spoon is correct.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05We are on our way, Taxes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Here we go, Eggheads.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11The Guardia Civil is the paramilitary national police force
0:20:11 > 0:20:13of which country?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18That's Spain.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Spain is correct.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Without hesitation.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Have you been in trouble with them?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27No, but they're very sinister-looking.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29If they're the ones with the funny hats,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31funny shiny hats
0:20:31 > 0:20:33who sort of lurk in corners,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I thought they were sinister-looking.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37And with weapons.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Probably, yes.- So, weapons, funny hats and lurking in corners.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No wonder you remembered.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46OK, over to you, Val.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51"Dacoit" is a word of Hindi origin for what kind of person?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I'm not too sure about this one at all.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I think it sounds sort of...sinister,
0:21:06 > 0:21:11so I think I'll go with armed robber.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Sinister, a bit like the Spanish police Judith was describing.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Armed robber is correct.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26How about this?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Putting a run together.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:35Eggheads, what's the English meaning of the Japanese word "konichiwa"?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40It's hello.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46"Konichiwa" is "hello", "sayonara" is "goodbye."
0:21:46 > 0:21:47It's hello.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Hello in Japanese.- I'm told.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Who has been to Japan?- I have.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Ah, so you've said hello there?
0:21:53 > 0:21:59Many times. "Domo" is "please" and "sayonara" is "goodbye."
0:21:59 > 0:22:00- Sayonara?- Sayonara.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Hello is the correct answer, Eggheads, well done.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Here we go.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Val, which actor played the role of the French President
0:22:08 > 0:22:10in the TV series Little Britain USA?
0:22:17 > 0:22:22I've never seen Little Britain USA, I've only seen the English version.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'll just guess,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Michael Cera. It sounds French.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- It does, doesn't it?- But it's wrong.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35But it's wrong. Paul Rudd. It was Paul Rudd.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Here we go, next question.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42If you get this right, Eggheads, you are triumphant again.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45And the third game in a row we've only had one Challenger left.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So, I don't know what you're doing at the moment,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I don't know what your breakfast cereal is, but it's working.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Which building first opened its doors to the public in January 1759?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Not the Natural History Museum. - It's too early for Natural History.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The British Museum, I think, was built a bit later.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17I think it was the National Gallery.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21With a tiny soupcon of doubt, we think it's the National Gallery.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And how big is that soupcon, really?
0:23:23 > 0:23:28A little spoonful or a tablespoon or a great big vat?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It's getting bigger.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33An enormous bucketful of doubt?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's now a ladle, if not a bucket.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's a bucket, you're wrong.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's the British Museum.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Yes, and Judith you chimed in with that brilliant fact
0:23:45 > 0:23:48that the British Museum was built later,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and the whole team was swayed.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- It was my fault? - Well, I did notice that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54British Museum is the correct answer
0:23:54 > 0:23:57so you're wrong with National Gallery.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's always a team decision.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- The scores are level. Well done, Val.- I didn't expect this!
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Not many get to this stage, particularly playing on their own.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Sudden Death now,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11so we need the answers from you. Here's your first question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Which British overseas territory
0:24:13 > 0:24:16issues a weekly newspaper called The Penguin News?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, penguins are found in the South Pole,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27so I presume it would be in the southern hemisphere.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I'll try the Falkland Islands.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38No need to laugh, you're right. Falkland Islands is correct.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Well, well, well!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44£7,000, which our Challengers will win if you get this wrong.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Eggheads,
0:24:45 > 0:24:53Amitabh Bachchan is one of which country's most famous actors?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Spell it, please.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Amitabh is A-M-I-T-A-B-H.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Then it's B-A-C-H-C-H-A-N.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Is he the Bollywood actor? - It sounds very Indian.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I would say it's an Indian name.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Isn't he the guy in his 40s who does all the huge Bollywood musicals?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13He's done more films than anybody else?
0:25:13 > 0:25:19He's not a Hollywood actor and he's not a British actor
0:25:19 > 0:25:20and he's not a French actor.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24The other big industry for film is India.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The Pakistani industry based around Lahore which is called Lollywood.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30But that's not a Pakistani name.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I think we have to go for India, don't we?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38OK, two buckets of doubt, but India.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42There's not that much doubt, is there? India is the right answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Born in Allahabad, and a 40-year film career.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Sudden Death we're on.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Here's your question, Val.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Which historical site was originally built around 1460,
0:25:53 > 0:26:00and was brought back to attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I've no idea.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10The only thing I can think of is, is it Sutton Hoo or something?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Is that your answer? - Yeah, it's the only one I can give.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Sutton Hoo or Sutton Ho?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- I think you've been there, Barry. - I was there about a month ago.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20And it is...?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21It's Machu Picchu.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Which is in...?- Peru.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27In Peru, so a little way away.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Machu Picchu is correct.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31OK, so Val got that wrong.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So if you get this right, Eggheads, you've triumphed again.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Here's your question.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43Which Booker Prize-winning author played the role of a doctor in the 2008 film Then She Found Me,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45directed by Helen Hunt?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Oh, hold on!
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Salman Rushdie?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, that's what I was thinking, but I can't recall the story.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58That's what came to my mind.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- What other Booker Prize winner lives in America?- Salman Rushdie?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- That's what we just said. - He has done cameo appearances.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Has he?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Oh, hold on, is it Rushdie?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14We were talking about it before.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I just had a vague sort of...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19He has done something recently.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I think it's Salman Rushdie.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Shall we go for Salman Rushdie?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, Salman Rushdie.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Salman Rushdie is your answer?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Where did Rushdie come from, in that conversation?
0:27:31 > 0:27:38He lives in America and he's done, apparently, cameo parts, in films.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- In Bridget Jones's Diary, of all things.- If you get this right, Eggheads,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46you've taken the contest and the £7,000 won't go to our team
0:27:46 > 0:27:48of lovely tax people.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52In the film, Then She Found Me, directed by Helen Hunt, there was a doctor.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The doctor was played by Salman Rushdie.
0:27:54 > 0:28:00Well done! Real firepower on that from you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Amazing. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Thank you for coming in and playing the game.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Commiserations to you, Challengers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22You'll not be going home with the £7,000, Quantum of Taxes,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24sorry about that.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The money will roll over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Who will ever beat you? Join us next time
0:28:30 > 0:28:34to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36£8,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Until then, goodbye.
