0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz 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 were a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won some of
0:00:33 > 0:00:35the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are No Accounting For Taste.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They all work in the finance department of Leeds City Council
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and after holding an Eggheads-style quiz at work
0:00:47 > 0:00:51they decided the next step was to take on the real thing.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Steve.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm 48 and I'm a finance manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Grahame.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm 50 and I'm an accountant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Adam, 28, and a finance officer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Phill.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm 44 and a local government officer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Grahame.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I'm 53 and I'm a finance manager.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So, No Accounting For Taste, welcome. Welcome, Steve.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- Thank you, Jeremy.- And, fin-ANCE, FI-nance, just correct me on this.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I prefer FI-nance, some people say fin-ANCE.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's "ee-ther", "eye-ther", you say "nee-ther", I say "ny-ther".
0:01:25 > 0:01:29So neither is banned. And you're all in the same department, all accountants.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- That's correct.- Do accountants have
0:01:32 > 0:01:35different personalities or are you all mostly the same?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Oh, I think varying personalities across the whole team
0:01:39 > 0:01:41because it's quite a sizeable team.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44This is only a small snapshot of our team here today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Do you enjoy your work? - Oh, yes. It's quite challenging
0:01:47 > 0:01:49at times, but very interesting.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Intellectually it's quite, yeah...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Is it? What, because you have to work out how much money is coming in
0:01:55 > 0:01:58each year and make projections and keep within a budget?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- That's always the challenge, particularly these days.- Because it's tight?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03It's tight with the credit crunch.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07OK, well, have a good game today, won't you, and let's see if you can
0:02:07 > 0:02:10make even more money. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:10 > 0:02:12up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13If they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to the next show,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18so, No Accounting For Taste, the Eggheads have won
0:02:18 > 0:02:21the last nine games, which means
0:02:21 > 0:02:24£10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Shall we do the first head-to-head?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I sense you know the show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Yep.- You watch it. OK, this is Music first.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, who's doing music and against which Egghead?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- You fancy Music? - Grahame, go with Music.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Go on, then.- Do you fancy Music, Grahame?- I'll do Music, yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Good lad.- Well done. - Well done, well done.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Now, who... Who do you want to... - Grahame on Music.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Who do you choose? - I would like to play Judith, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- What was that expression, Judith? - It's a very faint smile.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- A faint smile. - It's a kind of rictus.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02So, it's Grahame from No Accounting For Taste versus
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Judith from the Eggheads and to ensure there's no conferring
0:03:05 > 0:03:09would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Grahame, three multiple choice questions, as you know, on music
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and whoever gets the most right goes through to the final.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Would you like to go first or second, Grahame?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Grahame, here's your first question.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Which musical act won an Outstanding Contribution To Music award
0:03:28 > 0:03:30at the 2009 Brits?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OK,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I don't think it was Spandau Ballet,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42um...
0:03:42 > 0:03:46and I don't think it was Erasure.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I'm sure it was the Pet Shop Boys.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Pet Shop Boys is the right answer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well done.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01- Not an easy question.- It was for me. - Judith, the musicians Kurt Cobain,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin all died
0:04:06 > 0:04:08at what age?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Well, not 47.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18I think they were all very young, I think they were 27.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Yes, 27 is the right answer. What a classic quizzers' question that is.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Is it?- It's probably the age where,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28if you're a rock star, things get a bit dangerous.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You don't last until 37.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35You're burnt out by 27, so in three years I'll look forward to that.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Grahame, back to you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The songwriting team of Bacharach and David are well known for
0:04:40 > 0:04:43their frequent collaborations with which singer?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53OK, it's certainly not Madonna
0:04:53 > 0:04:58and neither do I think it's Annie Lennox.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Burt Bacharach has a strong link with Dionne Warwick,
0:05:04 > 0:05:05so Dionne Warwick, Jeremy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Dionne Warwick is the right answer.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And they were great songs. Anyone name any of those brilliant songs?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Do You Know The Way To San Jose?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- 24 Hours From Tulsa. - Yeah. Trains, Boats, Planes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Raindrops Are Falling On My Head. - One of my favourite composers.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- They were amazing, the two of them. - Excellent.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Here we go, Judith, your question. Apart from Marvin Hamlisch,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30who's the only person to have won
0:05:30 > 0:05:33an Oscar, a Grammy, an Emmy, a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I think it could be Leonard Bernstein or Richard Rogers.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I think it's more likely to be
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Leonard Bernstein than either of the other two.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yeah, Leonard Bernstein.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Leonard Bernstein is the wrong answer.- Oh, no! Is it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Richard Rogers.- Oh.- Richard Rogers.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06So, that means that Grahame has taken the lead and if you get
0:06:06 > 0:06:09this question right, Grahame, you are through to the final.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Which composer left his Symphony No. 9 unfinished at his death?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I don't think it was Beethoven.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I think...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28it was Mozart.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- You think it was Mozart? - Yeah, I'll play Mozart, Jeremy.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Mozart is not the right answer,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38and Beethoven's Ninth is famous, but was it...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's The Choral Symphony, but it was finished. It was Bruckner.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Sorry, Grahame.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45So, now, Judith, you have a chance
0:06:45 > 0:06:48to draw level.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Theobald Boehm played
0:06:50 > 0:06:54a major part in the development of which orchestral instrument?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Theobald Boehm.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- It's spelt B-O-E-H-M.- I don't...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Why would it have been the flute,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09because the flute was already developed, I would have thought?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm torn between harp and double bass.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16B-O-E-H-M.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21I'm going to say harp.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Harp is your answer. - I think it isn't,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- actually, come to think of it. - If you get this wrong then
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Grahame goes through to the final and you don't.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31You don't go through to the final because you got it wrong,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- it's flute, Judith.- It's flute? I'm amazed, actually.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Grahame, well done.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant. That's good.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Great news for the challengers.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Grahame will be in the final.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Do both of you come back to us, please.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49As it stands the challengers have not lost any brains
0:07:49 > 0:07:52from the final round, while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oops, sorry, Judith.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58The next subject is Science. Which of you wants Science?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Not me!- Not me, that's helpful!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Are you going to do it?- Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- And who shall I pick?- Steve.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- Steve?- Yeah, Steve do it, yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I'll play Science. - Science for Steve.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Against?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Come on, I'll go...- And CJ? - Daphne. I'll go with Daphne, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16OK, Steve from No Accounting
0:08:16 > 0:08:20For Taste against Daphne from the Eggheads on Science, and to ensure
0:08:20 > 0:08:24there's no conferring please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Steve, let's do our Science round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Three questions and you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'll go first.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Here we go, Steve. Good luck.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39What is the name of the opening in the centre of the human eye that
0:08:39 > 0:08:41lets light through onto the retina?
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Right, I think the iris is the coloured area around the side,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57whereas the cornea, I believe
0:08:57 > 0:09:00that is the covering of the lens,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04so I think it's the pupil because they dilate with light.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Is the right answer, well done.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Pupil it is.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Daphne, what's the equivalent to 100 degrees Celsius
0:09:12 > 0:09:14on the Fahrenheit scale?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Oh, the only one that rings a bell is 212, so...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29212 is correct.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Back to you, Steve. After whom or what
0:09:33 > 0:09:36was the bacterium salmonella named?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Well, Jeremy, that's a toughie, so I think I'm going to have to try to go
0:09:47 > 0:09:50through a process of elimination, so
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I think it's going to have to be...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56And it's very difficult to deduce this because it's obviously going
0:09:56 > 0:09:59to be where, probably, the first outbreak occurred.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02HMS Salmon sounds...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05not right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I would say I'm going to go, and this would be a guess, so...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I think it's not named after an individual.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'll go with Salmon, Idaho.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21No, it was named after a person, Mr DE Salmon, so...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I say Mr DE Salmon, I'm guessing it's Mr, it may not be.- Yes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- I think so.- Professor, pathologist.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's got nothing to do with salmon at all, the fish salmon.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- No.- No. - You can get it from it, can't you?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You can, that's what's confusing.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Daphne, your question.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Halophyte
0:10:40 > 0:10:45is a term for a plant that's adapted to grow in what type of conditions?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's saline.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's from the Greek for salt.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- What is from the Greek for salt, halo?- Halo, yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well done, saline is the right answer, Daphne.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04See, you need to get this right, Steve,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06or Daphne will have knocked you out.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10The so called oligodynamic effect is
0:11:10 > 0:11:13responsible for the self-cleansing properties of which objects, Steve?
0:11:18 > 0:11:24The world oligo seems to ring a bell, it may be in relation to ears,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27so I'll go with human ears.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32No, it's actually brass doorknobs, which is something they're talking
0:11:32 > 0:11:34about using in hospitals at the moment, aren't they,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- to stop MRSA?- Do all brass doorknobs clean themselves?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- They clean themselves. - Oh, that is good to know.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, they don't... I think they clean other things, as well.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44They don't allow... Germs can't live on them.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Oh.- I think.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Steve, next time you open a door with a brass doorknob you'll think
0:11:52 > 0:11:54of this moment, but never mind.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Daphne, you were stronger this time,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59you're through to the final. Steve, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02As a result you will not be helping your team in the final round.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Do both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09The brass doorknob stumped us all,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11they really did and I think probably
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- a lot of viewers as well, so... - A surprise.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17No shame in getting that wrong. The challengers have lost
0:12:17 > 0:12:21one brain from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain as well.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22The next subject is Geography,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- so which of you wants this? - Phill, you're on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Away you go, Phill. - I'll take that one.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Oh, good man, Phill. - Phill on geography, against?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32And I'm going to take CJ, I think.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35CJ, OK. Phill from No Accounting For Taste versus CJ.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Please, if you can, make your way towards the question room.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Phill, I know you travel a lot.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I travel about, yeah, a bet.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Caravans? - Caravans, yeah, I like caravanning.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I like being out with the family, out in the fresh air
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- and things like that. - OK, good luck.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Geography is the key, with or without caravans.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Phill, would you like the first set
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- of questions or the second set? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Here's your question. The most westerly point
0:13:02 > 0:13:05in Wales is located where?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15OK, well, I've been to Wales once or twice.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I've never heard of the Gower Peninsula so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Colwyn Bay is a bay.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm going to go for Pembrokeshire.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26You've been to any of them?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I've been down to Pembrokeshire, down to Tenby, places like that.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Nice?- Very, very nice part of the world, yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Pembrokeshire is correct, well done.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44OK, CJ, Folkestone and Hythe, CJ, are located on which body of water?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53They've got to be on the Strait of Dover, haven't they?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58The Wash is too far north, the Solent's too far west.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Folkestone has some sort of ferries or something that go out of it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It must be the Strait of Dover.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Are we sensing that you're on unfamiliar territory here?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09British geography, I'm always struggling.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12OK, anything outside the studio, but inside the country is a problem.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The Strait of Dover is right, though. Well done.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18You've done it, somehow.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Back to you, Phill. You could probably take
0:14:21 > 0:14:25him out in this round, he's very, very wobbly on anything British.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Queens and which other borough of New York City are on Long Island?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Is it Brooklyn, the Bronx or Manhattan?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Right, well, I'm going to rule out Manhattan straightaway.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think that's its own island.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45So, again I've got a choice between two, between Brooklyn and the Bronx.
0:14:48 > 0:14:55Oh, which want to go for? I'm going to go with the Bronx.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Now Steve's head has fallen. Is he wrong?- It's Brooklyn.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It is Brooklyn, not the Bronx.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Sorry, Phill.- Never mind.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10So, we're all square. CJ, you can go one point ahead with this. Which is
0:15:10 > 0:15:14the only capital of the three Baltic states that is not on the coast, CJ?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Tallinn, Vilnius or Riga?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I have, of course, been to Tallinn.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You know, I can't remember if that's on the coast or not.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It's certainly very, very close to it if it isn't on the Gulf of Finland.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I think it is on the coast. I think it's on the Gulf of Finland.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Vilnius I'm not sure about. Riga is on a river.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I'm not at all sure, but I'm going to go for Riga.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Riga is your answer.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Just to get this straight, you've been to Tallinn?- Yeah...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53But you can't remember if you were by the sea?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, I was doing a quiz, that's why,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and we tend to block everything else out.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58And it was at night, was it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Well, it's on a... I remember a big harbour
0:16:00 > 0:16:05and I know, if it's not on the Gulf of Finland, it's very, very close.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07But you could see water, but you weren't sure
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- whether it was a pond or the sea? - Or it was raining.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Well, it wasn't Tallinn, but it wasn't Riga either, it was Vilnius,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17the only capital of the three Baltic states not on the coast.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Great question, actually. OK, Phill, you can pull clear with this answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Which term describes an enclosed depression
0:16:25 > 0:16:27resulting from the melting of buried ice?
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Right, OK, then.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37If it's a depression, assuming
0:16:37 > 0:16:43it's a hole in the ground, something comes up, I'm going to go,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47because it sounds like a toaster, purely going for toaster hole.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53No, that's wrong, it's kettle hole. It's a tough one. It's back...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We're back with brass doorknobs here! That's a tough question.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Kettle hole is the answer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59CJ, this for the round.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Which part of France is renowned for its flamingos,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05wild white horses and black bulls?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Well, I know the Camargue is famous for its horses, so Camargue.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Camargue is the right answer, CJ. Interesting round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Great questions in that round, actually, and, Egghead, you've won.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24You'll be in the final, CJ.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Phill, sorry, you were beaten and you won't be helping in the final.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Please both of you rejoin your teammates.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37So, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39You're still there, you're in there.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- They're in there.- The last subject before the final is Food & Drink.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45So, now, who wants this?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- I think it's you, Adam.- Adam or Grahame?- I think it's you, Adam.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- I think we've decided Adam. - I think I'm a sacrificial lamb.- OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Adam against who? Kevin or Barry?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Go on, why not, I'll take Kevin!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Adam from No Accounting For Taste versus Kevin
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and to ensure there's no conferring take your positions.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- So, Adam, you're a finance officer. - Yes, I am.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12And enjoy watching Leeds Football Club play.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I wouldn't say enjoy! I go watch them.- They do...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17But they... They're still playing.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Yeah, just about, yeah. - I don't mean to rub it in.- No.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26You've chosen Kevin on, I think it's fair to say, not your strongest subject, Kevin,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- because last time you played Food & Drink...- Yeah.- You got the first two questions wrong.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Yes, I'm afraid so, yes.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Horseradish and dragon fruit... - Yeah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35..were the difficultly...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Difficult areas.- Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I think saying not my strongest is putting it mildly, but...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44OK, so, three questions now on Food & Drink.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Let's see what happens.
0:18:45 > 0:18:51- Adam versus Kevin and Adam you can choose whether you have the first or second set.- I'll go first, please.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Here we go.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Curly is the name given to some varieties of which vegetable?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05This is not my strongest subject either.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Curly, let me think. I'm going to rule out beetroot.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12At bit of a guess, I'm going to go for kale.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Steve, has he got it right? - He has.- He has!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Well done, Kale is right, good for you.- Well done, Adam.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You've got a bright future ahead of you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I guess somebody here is Adam's boss, is that right?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Yes.- OK, stakes are high!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Kevin, what is the usual term
0:19:34 > 0:19:37for a heavy butcher's knife used for cutting up meat?
0:19:43 > 0:19:49Right. Well, it would be interesting to see them try it with the others,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51but I think we're looking at cleaver here.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Cleaver is the right answer, Kevin, well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You got a question right on Food & Drink!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It happens sometimes!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Over to you, Adam. Caraway seed, cumin and fennel
0:20:04 > 0:20:07are used to flavour which liqueur?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I should have a chance with this, I do like a drink!
0:20:16 > 0:20:21I'm going to rule out ouzo, and absinthe is disgusting
0:20:21 > 0:20:24so I'm going to go for kummel.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Either it's something about your guessing
0:20:26 > 0:20:27or the Ks but it's inspired.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Kummel is the right answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Anyone ever had kummel here? Judith, have you had some kummel?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Yeah.- Nice?- No.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What size of glass.- Oh, very small.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I think that's disgusting, too.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- I think all of those disgusting. - Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Well, if you put those three in,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- it doesn't sound like is going to help, does it?- No.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Kevin, your question.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55The foodstuff known as vegetable spaghetti is a variety of what?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Not come across that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09So, presumably, it's got to be something that, presumably again,
0:21:09 > 0:21:10looks long and stringy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Well, the one there that I can think of as potentially, anyway,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21having a most stringy...
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Long and stringy appearance is some variety
0:21:25 > 0:21:28of pepper hanging down, so I'll have to go for capsicum.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Capsicum is wrong.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34- CJ?- Squash.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Well, why is squash obvious? - Because...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Some of the varieties of squash, when you peel them
0:21:40 > 0:21:42they're very stringy with the casing, the shell.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48Yeah. So, here we are, Adam, you're about to get a promotion!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52If you get this right you've knocked out Kevin and not many people do that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Mostarda di Cremona is an Italian speciality
0:21:56 > 0:22:01containing what in a mustard-flavoured syrup?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Again, it's going to have to come down to a guess.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Let's go down the middle, I'll go fruit.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- You're going to go for fruit?- Yes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Were you born lucky? Fruit is right.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well done!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Remarkable gameplay there.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It's adding to Kevin's complex about the Food & Drink section.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Well done, Adam, you will be in the final.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Great news for the Challengers and let's have you both back in the studio.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So, this is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which, as always,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46is General Knowledge, but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:46 > 0:22:48won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53So Steve and Phill from No Accounting For Taste and Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01So, Grahame, Adam and Grahame, you're playing to win No Accounting For Taste £10,000.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Barry, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19No Accounting For Taste, the question is, are you're three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Do you want the first set of questions?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Stick with first?- First. - We'll stick with first.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Good luck to you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30What name is given to the item in the British crown jewels
0:23:30 > 0:23:36that consists of a golden sphere topped by a diamond-encrusted cross?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Orb is the one that comes straight to mind. Will we go for the orb?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I've never heard of the ball or the globe.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I've heard of the orb. Heard of the orb?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yeah, that was my first impression.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- We'll go with your orb. - We'll go with the orb.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- The orb is the right answer, well done.- Well done, Grahame.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03Eggheads, which fabric is made from jute or hemp?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Hessian. Hessian is made from hemp.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Chintz is made from cotton and ticking is cotton.- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- We all agreed? - Yeah, hessian.- It's hessian.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Hessian is the right answer. Well done, Eggheads.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Cracking start for you both. Let's see how we go from here.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Your second question. Which European state has no army?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Switzerland does because don't they arm their troops
0:24:37 > 0:24:39and they get to take the guns home?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Lichtenstein or Luxembourg?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Lichtenstein's a principality, so it's smaller, isn't it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50And Luxembourg's slightly bigger.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What's that got to do with whether you've got an army
0:24:52 > 0:24:53I haven't got a clue.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So, what do you want to do? Lichtenstein or Luxembourg?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- My heart's... - My vote's for Luxembourg.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Luxembourg because we went middle last time.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Do you think Luxembourg? - I'd go for it, yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Divided on either one of them
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and since Adam's done so well with his guessing,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I think we'll let Adam... See if we can roll his luck,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15so we'll go for Luxembourg?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17We'll go for Luxembourg, Jeremy.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23Entirely understandable guess, wrong answer though. It is Lichtenstein.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Lots of banks, but no army.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eggheads, this to take the lead.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33The Magnificent Ambersons is a Pulitzer-prize-winning book by which author?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Booth Tarkington.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Booth Tarkington, definitely. It's Booth Tarkington.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43How did you get that so fast?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44It was a film by...
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Orson Welles made, I think one of his two famous films.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Ah, it's coming back to me now. Yes, you're right.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Booth Tarkington is the right answer, Eggheads,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58which means you really need to get this one.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02£10,000 in play here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07Who played the Victor Meldrew role in the American version,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10the American version, of One Foot In The Grave?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I didn't even know they'd made an American version.- I didn't.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's still not shown up on television.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Alan Alda, MASH.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- I don't think it's Cosby. - You don't think it's Bill Cosby?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33I'm not sure whether... Has it ever made it across the Atlantic to one
0:26:33 > 0:26:37of our satellite television channels or one of the other stations?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Shall we go... Just guess? - Alan Alda, then?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Alan Alda I was going to go for. - Which one...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45If you get this wrong it is the end of the contest.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- If you get it right you're back in the game.- No pressure!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Then Victor Meldrew...- No pressure.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Who's going to give that character? That character acting best?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Well, it's similar to what Bill Cosby played in the The Cosby Show.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Wasn't he a frustrated father?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00He was calm, though. It wasn't... It was calm.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03OK, let's discount Cosby, then. We'll go for Cosby.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're going for Cosby?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08No. We're called for Alda then or Jack Lemmon.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Alda, Jack Lemmon.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Is Jack Lemmon is still with us?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Come on, fire one. - Let's go for Alan Alda.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Alan Alda.- Where we started.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Probably because I read it wrong and my eyesight's bad.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24We have decided after much discussion that we don't know the answer!
0:27:24 > 0:27:28We're going to... We're going to guess for Alan Alda.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Eggheads, is Alan Alda right? - No.- I think it's Bill Cosby.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It is Bill Cosby.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38And I think Jack Lemmon is no longer with us.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40No, I thought he passed away.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42There is no way back for you from there,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- so, Eggheads, congratulations, you've won!- Well done.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Well done.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Very sporting, our accountants. Thank you for coming in.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Commiserations to you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01so you won't be going home with the £10,000.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06That money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:11 > 0:28:13have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15£11,000 says they don't.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Until then, goodbye.
