0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:35Their quiz pedigree is well known, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37they are the Eggheads.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today are the Antibodies.

0:00:41 > 0:00:46This team all work for a national charity set up in 1991 to provide

0:00:46 > 0:00:49help and advice for people with allergies. Let's meet them.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Muriel, I'm 60, I'm a CEO.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm John, I'm 50, and I'm a nurse practitioner.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 61, and I'm a retired doctor.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Lindsey, I'm 53, and I'm an information manager.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Paul, I'm 52, and I'm a BT engineer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13So, welcome, Antibodies. Welcome, Muriel. Thank you. And team.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17So, allergies, meaning, everything from hay fever to the strange ones?

0:01:17 > 0:01:24Absolutely, it's very wide-ranging. Unfortunately about 20 million people suffer from allergies in the UK,

0:01:24 > 0:01:28so it is many and varied, the types of things that people suffer from.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32OK. So you all work together for this charity? Enjoy it?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Love it. Yes, thank you.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35And are you going to enjoy this? Certainly are.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37I think so. That's what we like.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Every day there's ?1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show, as you know.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50Antibodies, the Eggheads have won the last seven games, they're doing really well at the moment.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53?8,000 says you can't beat them.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Challengers, who wants this?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03We decided that would be me, didn't we? No - John.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07OK, yes, that would be correct. You can do it. John? Yes.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10John. John. John on Science, against which Egghead?

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Um, who are we going to pick? Now, erm...

0:02:14 > 0:02:16What about Daphne?

0:02:16 > 0:02:20What about Daphne?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Yeah, I think so. I'm happy with Daphne. Yes.

0:02:23 > 0:02:29Is she allergic to Science? OK, John from the Antibodies versus Daphne from the Eggheads,

0:02:29 > 0:02:34and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room now.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, three multiple-choice questions on Science in turn,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39whoever answers most correctly wins,

0:02:39 > 0:02:44funnily enough. And, would you like to go first or second, John? First please, Jeremy.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Good luck, you Antibodies, here we go.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53What name, John, is given to a celestial object that typically travels around the sun,

0:02:53 > 0:02:58in an eccentric or elliptical orbit?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I don't think it's a pulsar, because I don't think

0:03:07 > 0:03:11that's an object that travels around the sun,

0:03:11 > 0:03:13so it's going to be either meteor or comet.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Erm...and I think the one that travels round the sun

0:03:17 > 0:03:20in an elliptical orbit is probably a comet,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22so I'm going to go for comet, please.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Comet is your answer, and it's right.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27First point to the Antibodies.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Daphne, your question.

0:03:29 > 0:03:36Which piece of laboratory equipment is used to separate solid or liquid particles of different densities

0:03:36 > 0:03:41by rotating them in a tube in a horizontal circle?

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Erm, is that a centrifuge?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Is that your answer, Daphne? It is.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56You're right, centrifuge is correct. Thank you!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58John,

0:03:58 > 0:04:03in the human body, the tympanic membrane is also known by what name?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Erm, the pupil is in the eye,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15and that's not the tympanic membrane, certainly.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Neither is the tonsil. The tympanic membrane is the membrane in your ear

0:04:19 > 0:04:23that vibrates when you hear sounds, so it's an eardrum.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Eardrum is the right answer, well done.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Said with great certainty as well.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Daphne, over to you on Science,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34which you obviously like a lot! I don't!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37What name is given to a number like pi,

0:04:37 > 0:04:41which cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers,

0:04:41 > 0:04:45and whose decimal neither ends nor repeats?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55That would be an irrational number.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Yes. That's one I know! How do you know that?

0:04:59 > 0:05:04Well, I don't know, but... It was just an irrational guess.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yes. Irrational number is correct.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Over to you, John.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14The scientific principle of Rayleigh scattering has a direct impact on what phenomenon?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Rayleigh is R-A-Y-L-E-I-G-H.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Rayleigh scattering. Well, erm...

0:05:29 > 0:05:34I think the migration of animals is something a bit more organised

0:05:34 > 0:05:37and defined, and it's sort of innate, isn't it, in the animals?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41As far as I know. I don't think, probably, it applies to that,

0:05:41 > 0:05:45and, erm, I don't know anything, really, about IT

0:05:45 > 0:05:47and the processing power of computers,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51but I think this might be the phenomenon that gives us things like

0:05:51 > 0:05:52the northern lights and so on,

0:05:52 > 0:05:55so I think it's to do with the colour of the sky.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Very good, colour of the sky is the right answer.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Daphne, what type of celestial body is Aldebaran?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12And that's spelt A-L-D-E-B-A-R-A-N.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's a star.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Are you sure?

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Yes. You're right, well done. Three out of three for you both,

0:06:20 > 0:06:23so, after the multiple-choice part, you are stuck level,

0:06:23 > 0:06:28and we go to Sudden Death. John, you need to give me the answer here, it's a bit harder.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Ruby-tail, gall, potter and mason

0:06:31 > 0:06:34are all types of which insect?

0:06:34 > 0:06:40Erm... Right, I don't know the answer to this one, so it's going to have to be,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44erm...a hopefully intelligent guess,

0:06:44 > 0:06:49erm, and...I think I might go for bees.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Your answer is bees. Oh, you're so close, but it's wrong. Wasp.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Wasp. The potter wasp.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Daphne, your chance to take the round.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06What name is given to plants, such as cacti,

0:07:06 > 0:07:11that conserve water by storing it in leaves or stems?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Are they succulents?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Is that your answer? Yes.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Eggheads, has she got it? Yes, indeed.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Have I? They all say yes.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Oh! And you have, Daphne, succulents is the right answer.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Ooh, she proved to be a doughty competitor there, John,

0:07:26 > 0:07:29you won't be in the final. You played well, though.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Daphne, you will be in the final. Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:07:36 > 0:07:42So, we're a brain down. You're a brain down, I should say! Not that I'm on your side or anything!

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Eggheads haven't lost any brains, but it is early on.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Next subject is Sport,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49do you have a plan on Sport?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Definitely, that's our Paul!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55You do look like you're dressed for the sporting round. I think so, yeah.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57And, against who?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Chris. Chris, please.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02You choose. We'll go with Chris, then.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Paul from the Antibodies versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, Paul, you like your sport?

0:08:11 > 0:08:14I do, yes. And in particular, what?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Erm, I like rugby, rugby union.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20And do a lot of walking and keep fit yourself? I do, yes.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Where do you walk? I've done Spain, France, and a lot of this country.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Ben Nevis I've done twice, so...

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Paul, you can choose the first or second set of questions. First, please.

0:08:34 > 0:08:40Here's your first question, then. What is the par score of the famous Old Course at St Andrews?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Unfortunately golf is not one of my strong subjects,

0:08:49 > 0:08:55and, erm...it'll have to be a guess, I think, erm...

0:08:55 > 0:08:59For some reason...72 sticks in my mind,

0:08:59 > 0:09:03I don't know why, but I'm going to go for 72, Jeremy.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Good stuff, 72 is the right answer.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Chris, your question.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Excluding the home plate, how many bases are there on a baseball pitch?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20They got the home plate, one, two, three, back to home. It's three.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Three is correct.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Paul, your question.

0:09:26 > 0:09:32Which team lost to England in the final of the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, this one I hope I know and I hope I get it right.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41It wasn't France, it wasn't New Zealand, it was Australia.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Australia is quite right.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Caused massive celebrations, didn't it? Yes, it certainly did.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54Chris, your question. In which cricketing country are Test matches played at the Wanderers Stadium?

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Ah...

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Well, West Indies' are played at the Kensington Oval, aren't they?

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Sri Lanka, it's Colombo, so it must be South Africa.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14It is South Africa, you're right.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Great stadium, I've been there.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Paul, get this right, you put him under pressure.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25Harry Redknapp spent the first years of his managerial career, from 1983 to 1992,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28in charge of which football team?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I don't think it was Port Vale...

0:10:35 > 0:10:39and I'm fairly sure it's not Morecambe...

0:10:39 > 0:10:42I think it's Bournemouth. I'll go for Bournemouth.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46You've done well, Bournemouth is correct.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50So, 3-2, let's see if Chris stays in.

0:10:50 > 0:10:58The Argentinean, Juan Martin del Potro, is a successful competitor in which sport, Chris?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Well, there's been some useful Argentine boxers,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07and some useful Argentine tennis players,

0:11:07 > 0:11:11but they do tend to throw up racing drivers,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13so I'll take a punt on motor racing.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17OK, I like the logic.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20As always, Chris, when you get it wrong, you show massive conviction.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25But it's tennis. Is it, indeed? Motor racing is wrong.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That's a game, that's not a sport!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31So, on that question, Paul, well done.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34He slipped up, you take the round, you'll be in the final.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Please, both of you, come back to us.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final,

0:11:42 > 0:11:45while the Eggheads have lost one brain as well.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48The next subject's Geography.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Geography. Which of you would like this?

0:11:50 > 0:11:53That appears to be me. Mike, against who?

0:11:53 > 0:11:54I'd like to play Judith, please.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58All right, you said that with great, er...assurance.

0:11:58 > 0:12:03So, Mike from the Antibodies against Judith from the Eggheads,

0:12:03 > 0:12:06and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11Mike, you can choose the first or second set. First, please, Jeremy.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Here we go, and good luck.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Skye is an island in which British group, Mike?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's not the Orkneys, they're very much north,

0:12:28 > 0:12:31the Channel Islands are just off France, it's the Inner Hebrides.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Great, Inner Hebrides is the right answer. First point to you.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Here we go, Judith. The city of Durban is a major seaport of which country?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think that's in South Africa.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52And you are quite right, it is indeed in South Africa.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Back to you, Mike.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59Keflavik International Airport serves which country?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's the international airport for Iceland, Jeremy.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Iceland is correct.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Judith,

0:13:12 > 0:13:16which German city is known to the French as Aix-la-Chapelle?

0:13:24 > 0:13:29I think that is Aachen. It was Charlemagne's time, wasn't it?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32And your answer then is Aachen, and it's the right answer.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Mike,

0:13:34 > 0:13:39which country borders Israel and the West Bank to its west, Syria to its north,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Iraq to its east and Saudi Arabia to its south?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Turkey's very much further north in Asia Minor,

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Iran is bordered by... another country,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56and the answer is Jordan, Jeremy.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Well done, Jordan is right.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Your question, Judith,

0:14:03 > 0:14:04to stay in it now.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Ponce, spelt P-O-N-C-E,

0:14:08 > 0:14:13is a major city and port on which Caribbean island?

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Erm, it's not Antigua, I don't think,

0:14:20 > 0:14:24cos that's St John's, isn't it, the capital of that?

0:14:24 > 0:14:27I don't know!

0:14:27 > 0:14:31I think I'm going to go for Grenada.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Grenada. Yeah.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37It is the wrong answer. It's Puerto Rico.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39It is Puerto Rico, yeah. Is it?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42It wasn't Antigua, you were right about that.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43So, Judith, I'm sorry,

0:14:43 > 0:14:47you're not in the final. Mike, well played, with great conviction.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48You took on one of the Eggheads,

0:14:48 > 0:14:54you emerged triumphant. Good news for the Challengers, cos it means Mike will be with you in the final,

0:14:54 > 0:14:59and Judith, you won't join the Eggheads there. So please, both of you come back to your teams.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03So, as it stands the Challengers have lost only one brain from the final,

0:15:03 > 0:15:08the Eggheads have lost two brains. The last subject is Music. Who would like Music?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Lindsey or Muriel.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Uh-oh!

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh...

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Better be me, probably.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Worth a bash. Sorry. No, I'm fine.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Who do I go against?!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's going to be Lindsey. Barry or Kevin?

0:15:28 > 0:15:33Advise me. I don't know. I think, perhaps, Kevin.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yeah? Yeah, I would say Kevin.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39I would say Kevin. OK, then. Kevin. There is something glorious

0:15:39 > 0:15:42about going up against Kevin, whatever happens.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46So Lindsey from the Antibodies versus Kevin from the Eggheads,

0:15:46 > 0:15:48please go to the Question Rooms now.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Lindsey, I understand you play country music on your guitar?

0:15:54 > 0:15:59Yes, quite badly, but I do play. And keep fit by...

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Belly dancing. Belly dancing.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I won't ask for a demonstration.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Thank you very much. It's not the time or the place.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Three questions on Music in turn, and you can choose first or second.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14I think I'll go first, please.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Here's your question, Lindsey.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Tony Hadley is best known as the lead singer of which 1980s group?

0:16:28 > 0:16:35Right, I'm pretty sure... I don't think it's Simply Red.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Simple Minds I don't know terribly well,

0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'm going to go for my first choice, Spandau Ballet.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Spandau Ballet is correct.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49Can you name any songs from Spandau Ballet?

0:16:49 > 0:16:51True. Gold. True. Gold.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Kevin, your question.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58Which French word is used to describe a piece of music inspired by, or evocative of, the night?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07That is a nocturne. Nocturnal.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Nocturne is the right answer.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Lindsey,

0:17:12 > 0:17:16Breathe Again and Unbreak My Heart

0:17:16 > 0:17:19were the two biggest UK singles for which R n'B singer?

0:17:29 > 0:17:35Really not my area of music. I would say...

0:17:35 > 0:17:40I think I'm going to go for... Toni Braxton.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44I'm not absolutely certain, but Toni Braxton, yeah.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47You've got it, well done. Oh! Toni Braxton's correct.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Kevin,

0:17:49 > 0:17:55which British comedy band, who specialised in trad jazz, had a UK number one single in 1961,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58with You're Driving Me Crazy?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07All novelty bands of one sort or another there,

0:18:07 > 0:18:10but this was The Temperance Seven.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12That's the correct answer.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Next question to you, Lindsey.

0:18:14 > 0:18:20In the early 1860s, which Russian composer spent several years working as a clerk

0:18:20 > 0:18:22in the Ministry of Justice in St Petersburg?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Russian...

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I am just going to...

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Really just going to go for it, erm, Rimsky-Korsakov.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44No, not Rimsky-Korsakov,

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Tchaikovsky was the answer.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48So, Kevin, this for the round.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Careless Hands and I Pretend

0:18:52 > 0:18:56were the first big UK hits for which singer and entertainer?

0:19:01 > 0:19:05And, no, I haven't got them. It's Des O'Connor.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08You're right, Des O'Connor is the answer.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well done, Kevin,

0:19:10 > 0:19:15you've taken that round. Lindsey, I'm sorry, you lost to the great Kevin so you won't be in the final.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21You were beaten by our Egghead. Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin us here in the studio.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25This is what we've been playing towards, it's time for the final, which, as always,

0:19:25 > 0:19:30is General Knowledge. Those who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,

0:19:30 > 0:19:35so John and Lindsey from the Antibodies, and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,

0:19:35 > 0:19:37please leave the studio.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Well, Muriel, Mike and Paul, you're playing to win the Antibodies ?8,000.

0:19:41 > 0:19:47Daphne, Barry and Kevin, you are playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54they are all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56So, Antibodies, the question is,

0:19:56 > 0:20:00are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02And, do you want to go first or second?

0:20:02 > 0:20:06I'd like to go first, please. Yes, first, please.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Here we go,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Antibodies, good luck. You've done better than the last three teams

0:20:13 > 0:20:19by there being more than one of you now, so that's good. Your first question.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22In the name of the British trade union, the RMT,

0:20:22 > 0:20:26the initials stand for Rail, Maritime and what?

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Erm, because it's Rail, Maritime... It's not Technology,

0:20:36 > 0:20:40and it's not Television, so I believe it's Transport.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42We think it's Transport. Yes.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45You think it's Rail, Maritime and Transport.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Transport is the correct answer, good.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Eggheads,

0:20:51 > 0:20:56what was the title of the singles chart rundown show on radio, presented by Alan "Fluff" Freeman

0:20:56 > 0:20:59from 1961 to 1972?

0:21:04 > 0:21:05Pick Of The Pops.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Yes, we all remember it well, it was Pick Of The Pops.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Pick Of The Pops is the right answer.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Back to you, Antibodies.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18In the board game, Scrabble, which is the only letter tile worth five points?

0:21:22 > 0:21:26I don't know, I don't play Scrabble at all! No, nor I.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I think K, K pops up.

0:21:29 > 0:21:35And on the grounds that the middle one is more often than not right,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37I think our inspiration will be K.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Not sure here, but we all take the blame!

0:21:40 > 0:21:43We don't really know, but we'll go with K.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46K is the right answer. Phew!

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well done. Eggheads, your question,

0:21:48 > 0:21:53to catch up. What name is given to the tides,

0:21:53 > 0:21:56just after the first or third quarters of the moon,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00when the difference between high and low water is at its least?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11The high ones are the spring tides.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13And the low one's neap. Must be.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Do you know perigean as a term? Never heard of perigean tides.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20It should be neap, because spring are after full and new,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23and it does, they alternate. So it must be neap.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26We're all agreed, it is the neap tide.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Neap tide is correct.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30OK, third question, don't come unstuck.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34Which singer famously had an 18-month-long relationship

0:22:34 > 0:22:37with a woman named May Pang,

0:22:37 > 0:22:41during a period known as his "lost weekend" in the 1970s?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49No idea at all.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53I'm sure it's not Eric Clapton. You don't think it's Eric Clapton?

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Erm... Shall we choose one of the others, then?

0:22:57 > 0:23:00John Lennon or Mick Jagger. Yes.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I don't know, it could be any one of them to be honest!

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, let's just choose one. I'd go John Lennon.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09OK, we'll go with you, yeah. I haven't got a clue!

0:23:09 > 0:23:12No, that's fine, let's go John Lennon, then we can blame you!

0:23:12 > 0:23:15We really don't know, we're going to go for John Lennon.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17John Lennon.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19John Lennon is the right answer. Oh!

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Oh! Well done!

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well done, Muriel! Thank you!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Eggheads,

0:23:26 > 0:23:30what are the two middle names of Queen Elizabeth II?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Alexandra Mary? Alexandra Mary.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Again, absolutely certain on this, it's Alexandra Mary.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Alexandra Mary is the...

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If they get this wrong, then you've won the money.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50..correct answer. I'm so sorry!

0:23:52 > 0:23:54We go to Sudden Death.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59You are level-pegging, you've both had a perfect round so far. This gets harder.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01We need the answer from you.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03You ready? Yes.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06What's the name of the Hong Kong stock market index

0:24:06 > 0:24:10that was launched as a public service in 1969?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Hang Seng. It's called the Hang Seng.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16It's called the Hang Seng.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18That's your answer? Yes.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21It's the right answer. Well done, Mike!

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Eggheads,

0:24:24 > 0:24:29the University of Pennsylvania, a member of the Ivy League,

0:24:29 > 0:24:33is located in which American city?

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Let's go through...

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well, Philadelphia, yeah...

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Philadelphia seems to be the obvious choice.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46But it may be one of the other...

0:24:46 > 0:24:49If you get this wrong, they've won.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52I don't think it's in Pittsburgh. The state capital is Harrisburg.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58I don't think it's Harrisburg. And Pittsburgh is too industrial.

0:24:58 > 0:25:04The very big cities do have more, they often tend to have more than one university.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07In Philadelphia, for instance, there's Temple University.

0:25:07 > 0:25:13Erm, I mean, it could be Harrisburg, because it's the state capital.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17But, yeah, we don't know it, so we have to play the percentage.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21It's much more likely to be in Philadelphia. I'd say Philadelphia. Yeah, I think we have to.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Here we go! I'm not certain at all.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28We have a fair degree of doubt on this one, because we're not sure, we've banded a few names around,

0:25:28 > 0:25:32but the consensus of opinion is that it's in Philadelphia.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36You're right! We took you to the cliff edge there, didn't we?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Don't worry, you're still in it.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41You see how they can come unstuck?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Here's your question, Antibodies.

0:25:43 > 0:25:49The fashion designer Paul Smith was born in which city, where he also established his first shop?

0:25:49 > 0:25:55I haven't got a clue! One for you, Muriel!

0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'm not into designer clothes!

0:25:58 > 0:26:03Paul Smith. Sounds English, or at least British-ish.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08So, I guess we toss a coin and choose a British city, cos I don't know.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Somewhere northern?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13OK.

0:26:13 > 0:26:18Well, if he'd been in Yorkshire, you would have known it, wouldn't you?! Possibly, yes.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23Erm... Manchester, Liverpool... Bristol?

0:26:23 > 0:26:29Let's try Manchester. I don't know, for no particularly good reason. I don't where it'll be.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I don't know, so let's... Shall we say Manchester?

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Shall we say Manchester? We've got no other...

0:26:35 > 0:26:40I've only just... I don't know why I've got Bristol in my head, but I'm probably totally wrong.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45No, don't go by me, because I don't know designer clothes! You know about fashion, I don't!

0:26:45 > 0:26:50I might know about fashion, but not about designer labels. We work for a charity, can't afford them!

0:26:50 > 0:26:55Let's say Bristol, go on. Or do you want to say Manchester?

0:26:55 > 0:27:00Do you feel more comfortable with Manchester? No, let's have Bristol. You said it. Let's have Bristol.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Go Manchester. OK.

0:27:06 > 0:27:13We haven't got a clue, really, but we're going to take a guess at Manchester.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Manchester...

0:27:16 > 0:27:18..is wrong.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21I'm not surprised. Fortunately, it's not Bristol.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Who is it?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Nottingham.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Oh!

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Nottingham's the answer, you got it wrong,

0:27:28 > 0:27:31so now they have a chance to take the contest.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34You'll be hoping they don't. Here's your question, Eggheads.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37"Defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrongdoer,"

0:27:37 > 0:27:41is the inscription above the entrance to which building in London?

0:27:41 > 0:27:45It's the Old Bailey, isn't it? Sounds right.

0:27:45 > 0:27:51Yes. Can't think of anything else. I worked next to it for a few years, it seems to ring a bell.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56Yeah, OK. Well, I hope I'm right, because I worked next to this institution for a few years,

0:27:56 > 0:27:57and I think it's the Old Bailey.

0:27:57 > 0:28:03So your answer is the Old Bailey. If you're right, you've snatched the cash away from our Antibodies.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05If you're wrong, we play on.

0:28:05 > 0:28:10The answer is the Old Bailey, or Central Criminal Court.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Well done, Eggheads, congratulations, you've won again.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Thank you for coming, anyway, commiserations to you.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:24 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you won't be going home with the ?8,000. So that money now rolls over to our next show.

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 have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42?9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
