0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Their quiz pedigree is well known,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Taking on the might of our quiz champions today are
0:00:38 > 0:00:40the Tranceformers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Everyone on the team belongs to The Hypnotherapy Association -
0:00:43 > 0:00:46an independent professional body in Britain representing
0:00:46 > 0:00:49approved hypnotherapists in active practice.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Josephine. I'm 59 and I'm a hypno-psychotherapist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, my name's Costa. I'm 55 and I'm a holistic hypnotherapist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Helen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'm 52 and I'm a hypnotherapist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Ken. I'm 56 and I'm also a hypnotherapist.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Ellen. I'm 53 and I'm a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Tranceformers, welcome. Hi, Josephine.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Hello.- So it's hypnotherapy as opposed to hypnotism?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Yes.- Or are they the same thing?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Not quite. There is a fine distinction.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Generally, you think of a hypnotist as being a stage hypnotist.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Where hypnotherapy is used for therapeutic or psychotherapeutic
0:01:31 > 0:01:34practices within hypnosis.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I know we can't show how you do it,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but is it the look into my eyes thing?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Only if you really want to.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43There are other ways of sending people under?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47There are all sorts of ways of inducing hypnosis in people,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49including eye fixation.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Using things like a spiral or, normally, I just talk them to death.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- It's a lot more fun.- Can some people be hypnotised and some can't?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00If you look at the Eggheads, would you say that some
0:02:00 > 0:02:02of them wouldn't go under?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07No, from the evidence we've seen, the more intelligent and imaginative
0:02:07 > 0:02:10a person is, the greater the subject they are for hypnotherapy.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So they'd all be absolutely wonderful.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Well, I think the opposite might be the case.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18You'd have trouble with them.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21OK, good luck. Use your mental powers here.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over
0:02:28 > 0:02:30to the next show. So, Tranceformers,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37which means £12,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Are you ready? - We'll have a darn good go.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Challengers, who wants this?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46All right, Arts & Books?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Ellen.- Ellen, against?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Arts & Books.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Choose any one of these unhypnotised people.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I'd like Chris, please.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00So it's Ellen from the Tranceformers versus Chris
0:03:00 > 0:03:03from the Eggheads. To ensure no conferring, take your positions
0:03:03 > 0:03:04in the Question Room.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Ellen, you're originally from the US?- I am, yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- And you came over here a little while ago?- 21 years ago.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You haven't been a hypnotherapist the whole of that time?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- No, just for the past 10 years. - Terrific. Good luck in this round.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Three multiple-choice questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final round.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Would you like the first or second set, Ellen?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I'd like the first, please.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Here's your first question. The Joseph Conrad novella,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Heart of Darkness, is primarily set in which continent?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Now, I know this.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It is somewhere in the back of my head.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Um...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56I'm...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'm going between Africa and South America.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Heart of Darkness.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08I'm being more drawn to Africa.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I'll take Africa, please.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Africa is right.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Specifically the Congo?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- The Congo, yes.- Famously the inspiration for the movie,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Apocalypse Now. Here's your question, Chris.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26"Poor Tom's a-cold," is a famous quotation
0:04:26 > 0:04:28from which Shakespeare tragedy?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33That's from King Lear.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That's the correct answer.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Back to you, Ellen.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Who wrote the 1939 novel, Goodbye To Berlin?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Goodbye To Berlin?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I don't know how familiar I am with this.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58But if we're talking about Berlin, for some reason
0:04:58 > 0:05:03I'm...drawn
0:05:03 > 0:05:04to Christopher Isherwood.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, I'm going with Christopher Isherwood.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You were drawn in the right direction.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well done, it's Christopher Isherwood.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Over to you, Chris. The saintly Helen Burns
0:05:17 > 0:05:20is a character in which 19th century novel?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, she's not a Dickens character, so it's not Copperfield.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I don't think it's Jane Eyre,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35that's Mr Rochester and a few other characters.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I think she's one of the cast of Middlemarch.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Barry, you know the answer to this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- She's in Jane Eyre. - She is, and where does she fit in?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I thought she was one of the people in the school where Jane Eyre lived.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- One of the other orphans at the school.- Jane Eyre, Chris.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58if you get this right, Ellen, you've taken the round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Which romantic poet on writing about the French Revolution,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05declared, "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08"but to be young was very heaven"?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I just feel that it sounds like something
0:06:19 > 0:06:24that either Coleridge or Blake would say, not Wordsworth.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29My first thought was Blake, so I'm going to go with my first feeling
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and I'm going to say Blake.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- It wasn't Blake actually, it was Wordsworth.- Oh, it was Wordsworth.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Wordsworth wrote, "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive..."
0:06:39 > 0:06:41of the French Revolution.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Chris, you have a chance to come back now.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Which artist made the 30 feet high
0:06:45 > 0:06:48steel and bronze spider called Maman,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51the first of the works commissioned for
0:06:51 > 0:06:53the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05If you get this wrong you're not in the final.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Well, Maman is French for mother,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but proves nothing.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Tate Modern is British, so is Antony Gormley.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20So, would they have commissioned Antony Gormley for the Tate Modern?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25It's the sort of thing he does, large steel erections.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I'll say Antony Gormley.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31OK, I think your colleagues know.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's not Antony Gormley.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34It's Louise Bourgeois.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Louise Bourgeois it was, Chris.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You have not triumphed, you've been beaten.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Bourgeois conspiracy, n'est-ce pas? - Yes, indeed, possibly so.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49As a result of that conspiracy you're not in the final. Ellen,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50you are. Well done,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53you'll be helping your team in the final round.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Congratulations. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Well done, Ellen. Great work.- Thank you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04The Tranceformers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The Eggheads have lost one brain. The next subject is Sport.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- It's Costa. - Costa on Sport.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Anyone but Chris.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Who's the weakest on Sport?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I'd like to take on CJ, please.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24OK, it's Costa from the Tranceformers against CJ.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- A lot of sporting rounds for you at the moment.- Oh, joy!
0:08:27 > 0:08:31CJ, to ensure there's no conferring, please leave the studio.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Costa, you've set up some of the hypnotherapy associations,
0:08:36 > 0:08:37is that right?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'm one of the original founder members
0:08:39 > 0:08:41of the Hypnotherapy Association.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47And are there right ways and wrong ways to hypno-therapise somebody?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Definitely. Yeah, absolutely.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You have to use positive language all the time.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55The use of your voice can be quite constructive to inducing trance.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You have to be sympathetic towards your client.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01There's a lot of professional qualifications to be obtained
0:09:01 > 0:09:04in order to be a fully qualified practitioner of hypnotherapy.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Because you're dealing with the subconscious mind,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09so you need to know what you're doing.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13If CJ gets the first two questions right, you can send him under.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- OK... That's not exactly what we do, but I'll do my best.- Permanently?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Not permanently, no, Daphne.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Costa, you can choose first or second.- I'd like to go second.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31There we are, he's already unsettling you,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33CJ, going second.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Here's your question.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Carlos Tevez and Edwin van der Sar
0:09:38 > 0:09:40played for which Premiership football club
0:09:40 > 0:09:43during the 2008 - 2009 season, CJ?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think, and you know me and football,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but I think they're both from Manchester United.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56They are indeed, Man U. Correct.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Your first question, Costa.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02In what position did the former England rugby union international,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Matt Dawson play throughout his career?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11OK, rugby is not my subject.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17I'm going to take a guess. I've got a feeling that Matt was a scrum half.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Scrum half is...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- correct.- Thank you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23One each.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28CJ, the boxers Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Steve Collins
0:10:28 > 0:10:32have all been World Champions in which weight division?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39That's interesting.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I know who all three of them are, which is...
0:10:45 > 0:10:46surprising for me, with boxers.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51But I don't think they're as big as heavyweight.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Nigel Benn's the one that's confusing me,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56because he was very muscular.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I don't think they're as big as heavyweight,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00so I'll go for middleweight.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04OK, let's throw that to the Eggheads. Were they middleweights?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Yes.- Yes. Middleweight is right, CJ.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Back to you, Costa.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- He's not making it easy, is he?- No.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- They never do, these Eggheads. - I wish I had his questions.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It can turn. In February 2009,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22a Test match between England and the West Indies
0:11:22 > 0:11:26was called off after a stadium, on which island,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28was deemed unfit for use?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I don't think it was Tobago.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I don't know if it was the stadium that was unfit or whether
0:11:39 > 0:11:42there were weather conditions, so...
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm going to go for Antigua.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- That's the correct answer. - Thank you.- Antigua is correct.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53CJ,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57which British athletics record, previously held by Kathy Cook
0:11:57 > 0:12:03for almost 27 years, was finally broken by Montell Douglas in 2008?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11My profuse apologies, but I've never heard of Montell Douglas.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Kathy Cook didn't run the 100, I don't think.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Because we've had more runners in the 400 and 200,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25let's assume the record would have lasted longer in that, 200 metres.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27200 metres is wrong,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- it's 100 metres.- Is it? Oh well.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- She held it for 27 years.- Yeah.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36That's a break for you, Costa.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'll do my best.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Here's your question. Chrissie Wellington
0:12:40 > 0:12:45won a second consecutive world championship in which sport in 2008?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I've not heard of Chrissie Wellington.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I offer my apologies for that.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I'm going to go for triathlon.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06We like the apology for not knowing something.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- I don't think we have ever had that before.- Well, CJ started it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11A public apology for not knowing.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13But triathlon is correct.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15You've got it. So, well done, Costa.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You took on an Egghead, CJ,
0:13:18 > 0:13:19you gave him a battering
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and he retires bruised. He won't be in the final, you will.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Please both of you come back to the studio.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The Tranceformers are doing really well.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32You haven't lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The next subject is Music. Which Tranceformer would like this?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Helen's good at it. - Oh, I don't know really.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Go on, I'll go for it.- You sure? - Yeah, OK, I'll go for it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Ken, you've got a sort of sense of assurance, your team.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Yeah, I know!- You really do. - Definitely me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Ken, against which Egghead?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I'm going to go for Kevin. - OK, Ken from the Tranceformers,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Kevin from the Eggheads, will face each other in the head-to-head.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Go to the question rooms now.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Ken, you are playing against one of the greatest quizzers.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Kevin, British Quiz Champion eight times.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Euro Quiz Champion, four times.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12World Quiz Champion three times.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13We're just thinking,
0:14:13 > 0:14:18the first two Eggheads lost, is there something going on here?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Have they fallen into a trance?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And if Kevin loses this round,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25we are going to be suspicious
0:14:25 > 0:14:27on what you're up to.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Three questions on Music in turn and, Ken, you can choose the first
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- or second set.- I'll go first.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Here we go. Good luck.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40"She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43"She studied sculpture at St Martin's College",
0:14:43 > 0:14:46are the opening lines to which 1990s song?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I'm going to have to let my intuition go on this one,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57which may or may not be a good thing. We're going to find out.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I've got Song 2 calling out to me, so...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm going to go for Song 2.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Okey dokey. Um, Costa knows, don't you?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's Pulp with Common People.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12That's it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Common People is the answer. Song 2 is not the answer, sorry.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Over to you, Kevin. Now we're going to see if you are in a trance.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Which music manager is credited
0:15:23 > 0:15:26with putting together the boy band Westlife?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's not Sharon Osbourne.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I think Westlife was Louis Walsh. So, Louis Walsh.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Is the correct answer. Well done.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Over to you, Ken.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Which country singer featured on the UK number two hit single
0:15:46 > 0:15:51for the KLF, Justified And Ancient?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I can't hear Dolly Parton doing that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Tammy Wynette doesn't sound right to me, either.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'm getting Linda Ronstadt, so I'm going to go with that.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Linda Ronstadt, anyone?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- It's Tammy Wynette.- Tammy Wynette.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Sorry, you're wrong, Ken.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20Tammy Wynette was the answer. Kevin, if you get this, you take the round.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Which stage musical features the character Bill Snibson
0:16:24 > 0:16:26singing the song Leaning On A Lamp Post?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35He's a Cockney lad, a Cockney character,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40and since the other two are set in America, it's Me And My Girl.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Me And My Girl is the right answer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Daphne, you have known that straightaway.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Oh, yes.- And great songs in that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Sun Has Got His Hat On. - Lambeth Walk.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Lambeth Walk as well. That's right.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Kevin, you've taken the round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Whatever trance had fallen on CJ and Chris has been broken.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Ken, you won't be joining your team to help them in the final round. Kevin will instead.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Please, both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Tranceformers, they're pulling back.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You've got to stop it happening.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15They have now lost two.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18You have lost one.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21We have one more round before the final round, and it's Politics.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Which one of you would like Politics?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Do you want me to do it?- Go for it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Are you sure?- Yeah, you go for it. - Helen against who?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Shall we go for Daphne?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Your choice.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38She doesn't get picked very often because she knows everything.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Yeah, I'll go up against Daphne.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Helen from the Tranceformers, versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51As well as being a hypnotherapist, Helen,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53you climb mountains for charity?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Yes, I have done that twice.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Which were they? - I climbed the highest
0:17:58 > 0:18:02mountain in North Africa, which is Mount Toubkal in the High Atlas.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07And I did the Inca Trail through the Andes to Machu Picchu.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- You saw a wonderful thing. - Absolutely, yes. It was amazing.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15OK, Daphne and Helen, here we go. Three questions on politics in turn.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Helen, you can choose the first or second set.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'll go first.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Your question is, in a US presidential election year,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29what name is given to the Tuesday when a large number
0:18:29 > 0:18:31of states hold their primaries?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Well, I don't know the answer, so...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The one that
0:18:46 > 0:18:51sounds the most sensible of all of those would be Super Tuesday.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I don't think it would be Fantastic Tuesday.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58So, I think I'm going to settle on Super Tuesday.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Super Tuesday is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Daphne, which political figure was fined £60 when he forgot to pay
0:19:08 > 0:19:12the London congestion charge just before Christmas 2008?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I haven't heard this. Um...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25David Cameron? I don't know.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29David Cameron would have been on his bicycle, I would have thought.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31No, it's the mayor of London.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Boris forgot, and if you forget, you get done.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39OK, Helen, your question. Which former party leader
0:19:39 > 0:19:42was ridiculed for sporting a baseball cap
0:19:42 > 0:19:45on a visit to a theme park in 1997?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Again, I have no idea.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I was going to say I couldn't imagine William Hague
0:19:58 > 0:20:00wearing a baseball cap, but then again,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02maybe I could.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Charles Kennedy...
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I'm trying to imagine them all wearing baseball caps.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Actually, because the one that seemed the most unlikely to start with
0:20:12 > 0:20:15was William Hague, I'm going to go for William Hague.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17William Hague is the right answer.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20He'd just become Conservative leader.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Daphne, which Labour Lord was arrested twice over his role
0:20:24 > 0:20:28in the "cash for honours" scandal, in which Tony Blair became the
0:20:28 > 0:20:31first serving prime minister to be questioned by police
0:20:31 > 0:20:33in the course of an investigation?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That was Lord Levy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It was indeed Lord Levy. Well done.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You have a point.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But that means, Helen, you can win the round
0:20:46 > 0:20:49if you get this question correct, because there's
0:20:49 > 0:20:52no way back for Daphne if you do. Here's your question, Helen.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56About which Labour politician was Churchill speaking when he quipped,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58"There but for the grace of God goes God?"
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Again, this is going to be a complete guess.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's not a...
0:21:07 > 0:21:13period of history that I know a huge amount about.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm going to guess at Stafford Cripps.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Daphne, you threw your hands up.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20She's right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23She is right, well done.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Stafford Cripps was the right answer, Helen. Well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Daphne, no way back for you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31There's no point in me asking you your third question.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35But you will remember the congestion charge wasn't paid by...?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Boris. How could he forget? - How could he forget?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So you won't be in the final and Helen will.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Please, both of you, come back to us here in the studio.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Better than expected?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Greatly relieved, yeah. - Now, this is the crucial bit.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54This is what we've been playing towards, the final round.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:59 > 0:22:02to take part in this round. So that is Ken from the Tranceformers,
0:22:02 > 0:22:07but it's also CJ, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Please leave the studio.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Josephine, Costa,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Helen and Ellen, you are playing to win the Tranceformers £12,000.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Kevin and Barry you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27This time it's all general knowledge.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You are allowed to confer with each other as well.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Tranceformers, the question is,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I guess they should be.- We hope so.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I prefer a second, myself.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- First.- OK.- First.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Here we go.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53First question. All the best.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56What name is given to a suit in a card game that outranks
0:22:56 > 0:23:00all other suits for the duration of a hand?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06THEY CONFER
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Trumps.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Trumps is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Over to you, Eggheads, both of you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Which British actress won two Golden Globe awards in January 2009?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The one with the embarrassing speech.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Or perceived as the embarrassing speech. Kate Winslet.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Kate Winslet, as Kevin so aptly puts it,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35the one with the embarrassing speech.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Kate Winslet is the right answer.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Your question, who hosted the Radio 2 Breakfast Show
0:23:44 > 0:23:47between 1986 and 1991?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Jamieson used to host the show, I remember, with his wife.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03I don't think it's Kenny Everett, because wasn't he dead by then?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06My first instinct was Gloria Hunniford.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11If the two of you think it's Gloria Hunniford, then go with that.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Hopefully, Gloria Hunniford.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I ought to know this, it is the same building I work in.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22I think it was when Wogan was on TV...and it wasn't Gloria.
0:24:22 > 0:24:28Ellen, you were right with your Derek Jameson idea.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31He was the Breakfast Show presenter, Derek Jameson.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Eggheads, this for the advantage.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37In the UK, what is the name given to the annual tour of universities and
0:24:37 > 0:24:42colleges made by recruiting staff from large companies?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51I remember it vaguely. It was the Milk Round.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Milk Round. I wonder if it's going on this year?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Milk Round is the right answer.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02They have the edge on you now and you must get this question right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Otherwise they've won, and we must stop that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12What is the Euro's highest denomination note?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20I've got a feeling it's 500.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22If you've got that feeling, go with
0:25:22 > 0:25:25your gut feeling, but I would have gone for 50.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27No, it's definitely more than 50.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Not 50. It's definitely not 50.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I've had a 100 Euro note before now.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Have you?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Shall we go for 500, then?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It seems to be the consensus.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41In for a penny, in for a pound...or Euro, anyway.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47We're going to guess at 500.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's a good guess, you're right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Eggheads, if you get this right you have won the contest.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58And the money is snatched away.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Can you feel the trance descending? Look into my eyes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06That's our normal state.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12Anthony Julius, born in 1956, is a leading figure in which field?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I've got no idea.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, I'd say that,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I think...is he a lawyer?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Law was my first guess.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- I thought he was a QC on high-profile cases.- I don't think it's fashion.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I don't think it's medicine.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41I thought law when the choices came out and you did, so...
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We've been wrong before.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yeah, we have. That's our problem when it's the two of us.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52You're seeing their names QC after that...
0:26:52 > 0:26:56We're both agreed. We're not 100% certain,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59but we're both reasonably certain that he's involved with the law.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01We think he may be a QC.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06The law, and if you get this right you've won the contest.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09And then there wouldn't be any prize for you,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and you've been such a great team.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14The answer is the law.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Anthony Julius actually represented Diana, Princess of Wales.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I thought you were going to say he's represented you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Represented Diana, the Princess of Wales in her divorce.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- That's certainly high profile. - So, a barrister.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39As soon as the choices came up, it rang a bell.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Although you could think surgeon, could you?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45You could. You can't tell anything from the name as such.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51But we could both visualise QC after the name when it came up.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- You have lots of bells, don't you, and they ring.- Millions of them.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Break you out of your trance. Commiserations to you, Challengers.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Their winning streak continues.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The Tranceformers won't be going home with the £12,000.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It stays here and rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, very well done to you. Join us next time to see if a new
0:28:13 > 0:28:16team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19£13,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
