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 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well-known, they've won some of
0:00:32 > 0:00:34the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today are the Pensioners.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41This team all work together within
0:00:41 > 0:00:45the pensions contact area of a major insurance firm.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Having tested their quizzing skills individually, they decided
0:00:48 > 0:00:52it was time to form a team to face the Eggheads, so let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Nick, I'm 44 and I'm a pension consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 41 and I'm a team manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 34 and I'm a pension consultant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Geoff, I'm 28 and I'm a training coordinator.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 27 and I'm a pension consultant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Welcome, Pensioners, Nick.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- You're all, what, advising people on their pensions?- That's right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19We tend to speak to both customers and independent financial advisers
0:01:19 > 0:01:21about their pensions and their funds.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And are you all going to have to work till you're 75?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I think we will, in the current climate, yes, I think we will!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- That's the future?- That's the plan. - OK.- Unless we have a big win today.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Big win today would help, that's right! Every day there's £1,000
0:01:34 > 0:01:37worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:37 > 0:01:41to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So, Pensioners, the Eggheads have won the last 13 games
0:01:44 > 0:01:50which means £14,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. How about that!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53First head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Which Pensioner wants Sport?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- It's got to be you. - I'm thinking you, Rob.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I'll be going for that one, Jeremy.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02OK, Rob against which Egghead?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06THEY CONFER
0:02:06 > 0:02:08We'll play Judith, please.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Rob from the Pensioners versus Judith from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19So I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Sport
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Rob, would you like the first or second set?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Rob, here's your first question. In which year
0:02:32 > 0:02:36was the Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt born?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I thought it would be the early '80s,
0:02:47 > 0:02:52because I was born in 1981, so I wouldn't have said he was 23.
0:02:52 > 0:02:551990 would be too young, I think,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58so I think I'm going to go for 1982, Jeremy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02'82, making him, what, about 27 or so?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- 26, 27. - He's younger than that, I'm afraid.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- He was born in 1986.- OK.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Wrong answer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Judith, your question on Sport.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Who managed Nottingham Forest Football Club
0:03:16 > 0:03:19when they won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I think that was Brian Clough.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31There's a film about him, isn't there?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Brian Clough is the correct answer. I think there is a film.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yes. Michael Sheen is being Brian Clough.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- He plays everybody, these days! - Yeah, he does! He's in everything!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- What else was he in? - Nixon. He was...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- He was David Frost. - Tony Blair interview.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- And he was Tony Blair, several times. - That's right.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK, Rob, your second question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54In which sport did New Zealander Michael Campbell
0:03:54 > 0:03:56win the US Open in 2005?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I quite enjoy tennis. I don't think it was tennis.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I haven't heard of any
0:04:06 > 0:04:12squash competition being called the US Open, but there could be one.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I think I'm going to go for golf.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yes, golf.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well done, golf is correct.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24First question for the Pensioners, well done.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Judith, Fernando Alonso won the Formula One
0:04:26 > 0:04:31World Championship in 2005 and 2006 driving which type of car?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I think Michael Schumacher was the Ferrari man
0:04:41 > 0:04:44and he's gone to Renault, I think.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I think he was driving for McLaren.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- No, it's wrong, actually. Renault is the answer.- Bother!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Bother?- Bother!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I like the word "bother"! OK, Rob.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04Which leading sportswoman of the 1970s and 1980s won the Singles
0:05:04 > 0:05:10Titles at the All-England Badminton Championships in 1976 and 1978?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I don't know a whole lot about badminton
0:05:18 > 0:05:22and I haven't heard of any of those people.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28A pure guess - I'm going to go for Gillian Gilks.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Eggheads are laughing here, is he right?- Yeah!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31He is right!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Judith, if you don't get this right...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39bother, bother!
0:05:39 > 0:05:43At which test match cricket venue are the ends of the ground called
0:05:43 > 0:05:45the Pavilion end and the Radcliffe Road end?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I read this the other day.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56It's the Radcliffe Road end that gives it away,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58doesn't it? Can I remember this?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04What struck me was Trent Bridge so I just have to
0:06:04 > 0:06:07go with an instinct, without knowing.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12With an instinct, without knowing, but nevertheless correct!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Oh, well there you are!- Well done!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It was there, somewhere.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18After three questions, the scores are level.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20We go to Sudden Death now, Rob,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23so a little bit harder, not multiple choice.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- You have to give me the answer, OK? - OK.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Which British javelin thrower won four consecutive
0:06:30 > 0:06:35European Championship Gold Medals between 1990 and 2002?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I think I'm going to go for the only one I've ever heard of...
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Steve Backley. I'm going to go for Steve Backley.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Steve Backley is the right answer. That's good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Lots of others would have floundered on that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Judith, which Rugby Union team defeated England 42-6 in
0:06:55 > 0:07:02November 2008, the largest loss ever suffered by England at Twickenham?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm thinking.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It wasn't part of the Six Nations, was it, because
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I don't think it's started yet?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- New Zealand.- If you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Yeah, I know!- I know you know! - Well, don't keep telling me!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I have to just remind you where we are in the game.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You're not in the final, because it's South Africa.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31South Africa is the right answer.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Well done, Rob, you took on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Good news for the Pensioners
0:07:36 > 0:07:40because it means you'll be able to play in today's final round.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Judith, sorry you won't. Do come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48As it stands, the Pensioners have lost no brains from the final round.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The Eggheads have lost one brain. Our next subject is Politics.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Who from the Pensioners wants Politics, and against which Egghead?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Are you going to go for it, Geoff? - I think you, Geoff. You've done a bit of studying.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I've done a little bit. It's going to be me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03OK, Geoff.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Against which one? It can't be Judith.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Nick, any ideas?- I'd go for Barry.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Do you reckon, Nick? I'm going to go for Barry, please.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16OK, Geoff from the Pensioners versus Barry.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- You like your politics, don't you? - I do! It's the politicians I've met. - Too late, too late!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Barry from the Eggheads. There's no easy option here, really.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Three questions on Politics, in turn.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Geoff, you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I think I'll go for the second, please.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Barry, your question. Which three-word phrase
0:08:41 > 0:08:43became a central slogan of
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Barack Obama's presidential election campaign in 2008?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I think it has to be "Yes, We Can".
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It is indeed, "Yes, We Can".
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well done.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Geoff, your question.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04In which month of the year does the House of Commons
0:09:04 > 0:09:06usually break for its summer recess?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Well, they're all summer months.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm not sure.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I don't want to just
0:09:20 > 0:09:22go for the middle.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24August is a
0:09:24 > 0:09:26favourite month for holidays.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I'm going to go for August.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's not August. July, usually. Summer recess.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36They get it a little bit early.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So, Barry, back to you.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44Taro Aso became the Prime Minister of which G8 country in 2008?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Spelt T-A-R-O and then A-S-O.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53That sounds very Japanese to me, so that's my answer...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Japan.- Japan is correct.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Geoff, here's your question. You need to get this right.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Which South American leader was deposed in April 2002
0:10:07 > 0:10:10only to regain power after two days?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'm afraid I'm going to have to go for a bit of a guess on this one.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah, nothing
0:10:29 > 0:10:33really obvious coming to mind.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hugo Chavez, please.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38It's not...
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Menem or Da Silva, it is Chavez, you're right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You're right!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Sorry to do that to you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- No worries.- OK, so, Barry, if you get this right
0:10:50 > 0:10:52you still go through to the final.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Which Chancellor Of The Exchequer's 1853 Budget speech,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58lasting four hours and 45 minutes,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02is believed to be the longest continuous Budget speech on record?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I think in 1853 it probably would have been Benjamin Disraeli,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17and I'm certain he liked the sound of his voice, so that's my answer.
0:11:17 > 0:11:201853, Benjamin Disraeli. Do you think so?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- No, it's Gladstone.- Gladstone.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Gladstone! Four hours, 45 minutes. It was William Gladstone, so...
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Hey, what about that, Geoff?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You're still in there. You need to get this right, though.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Which British prime minister resigned from the post in 1902
0:11:37 > 0:11:40after his third period in office?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Now, I have been
0:11:48 > 0:11:55revising my prime ministers, and I believe Asquith was prime minister
0:11:55 > 0:11:57during the first half of the Second World War, so
0:11:59 > 0:12:05it's probably not him, unless I've got that completely wrong,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10which leaves me with either Balfour or the Marquess of Salisbury.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So, between those two.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm going to go for Balfour.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You started well, you went for Balfour.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31It's actually the Marquess of Salisbury who resigned in 1902,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33yeah? Third period?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Was succeeded by Balfour.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Balfour came after, so you were close, Geoff,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- the right time frame for both of them.- Yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Good try, but Barry won through.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Barry will be in the final,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Geoff you were beaten,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48so you won't be able to help your team in that final round.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Please come back and join your teams.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55As it stands, the Pensioners have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57The Eggheads have also lost one brain.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Next subject is Science. Which Pensioner wants this?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03THEY CONFER
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- So who shall I have?- Steve against?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11THEY CONFER
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- I'll have Daphne. - I thought you might!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Steve from the Pensioners versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20To ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23please take your positions in the question room.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26So three questions on Science
0:13:26 > 0:13:30in turn and Steve you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think I'll have the first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Here's your first question. Nepeta cataria is the Latin name
0:13:38 > 0:13:43for which plant of the mint family whose aromatic oil is particularly
0:13:43 > 0:13:45attractive to felines?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Well, I'm a bit of a cat lover myself
0:13:54 > 0:13:57and I do know that
0:13:57 > 0:14:01a lot of cats' toys contain a certain substance called catnip,
0:14:01 > 0:14:06which drives them mad, so that's probably going to be my answer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Your answer is catnip, and it is right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Do you have cats?- Yes, I do, yes.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18- So do I.- You do too, Daphne?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Oh, yes!- How many?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I've got two and I've just become a patron of the Cats' Action Trust.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- Right, taking action on behalf of cats?- Feral cats, actually.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Fear of cats?- Yes.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Really?- Yes.- Is that something you've suffered from?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35- Sorry?- Have you suffered from that?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- What, feral cats?- Oh, fear of cats, I thought you said!- Feral!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Feral!- Wild cats!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44LAUGHTER
0:14:45 > 0:14:50I was going to say, that's a very strange-sounding charity!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52OK, feral cats.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Feral cats, yes.- OK.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Here's your question, Daphne.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Which plant named after a small creature
0:15:00 > 0:15:05and belonging to the chlorophytum genus is known for its thin,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07green and white streaked leaves?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16That's a spider plant.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I've got one growing all over my kitchen windowsill.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Spider plant is correct.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Back to you, Steve.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Which 19th century scientist's four equations
0:15:31 > 0:15:36provided the basic description of electric and magnetic fields?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think this is going to be a bit of a guess.
0:15:53 > 0:16:00I'm not familiar with any of the names so I'm going to go for
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Humphry Davy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Sorry, that's wrong. It's James Clark Maxwell.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10So, Daphne your chance to pull clear.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16Which type of mammals belong to the order chiroptera?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22They are bats.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Bats is right, well done.
0:16:28 > 0:16:34Steve, in botany, what type of fruit is an apple?
0:16:39 > 0:16:44I'm not really sure. I remember hearing some description about
0:16:44 > 0:16:47berries being a type of fruit that contain multiple seeds,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50and I know an apple contains multiple seeds.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Whether that's actually correct or not, I'm not sure,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54but I think I'll go for berry.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's not berry.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Eggheads?- It's pome.- Pome.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06A drupe is a fruit that's got a stone in it, like a plum.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- And berry is berry?- Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11So, Steve, sorry.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13There's no point in asking the third
0:17:13 > 0:17:17question to Daphne because she has won the round and you won't be
0:17:17 > 0:17:21in the final round and she will. There's no easy way to say it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27The Pensioners have lost two brains
0:17:27 > 0:17:31from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32The last subject is Music.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I reckon you want this.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Which Pensioner?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's got to be Mark.- Mark against?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42What do you reckon, Nick?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Chris.- I'll take Chris, please.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Mark from the Pensioners against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Mark, you've done a bit of modelling?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Yeah, a long time ago, Jeremy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Am I supposed not to mention it? - Yeah, exactly, yeah...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03it's unmentionable.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05And, what, you've been in magazines and stuff?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Yeah. It was actually for shoes, funnily enough!- Shoes?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Yeah... I must have nice feet!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Have you done any of that, Chris?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Airfix kits, mostly!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Three questions on Music in turn.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Mark you can choose the first or second set.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22I'll go first, please.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Here we go. Good luck, try and get in that final round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Which German-born composer lived
0:18:30 > 0:18:33in London for almost 50 years and became a British subject?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Now...
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Classical is not my strongest in Music.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I think they're all German, I think.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm going to have to go for...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Handel, please.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07You got it right! Well done!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Handel is the right answer. Chris, your question on Music.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Which instrument resembles a piano, although its strings are plucked
0:19:15 > 0:19:17rather than hammered?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23That is a harpsichord.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Harpsichord is the right answer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32Mark, in 1997 which member of Take That had a UK number one
0:19:32 > 0:19:34album entitled Open Road?
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Well, I don't think either Howard or Jason
0:19:43 > 0:19:49have done any solo work, really, so it's got to be Gary Barlow, I hope!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Gary Barlow is the right answer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Are you a fan of Take That? - No, I've got to be honest!
0:19:58 > 0:19:59I didn't think so.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Not my style.- Chris, your question.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Victor Silvester,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09who sold over 75 million records, was famous in which capacity?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Victor Silvester was an institution
0:20:16 > 0:20:18on the radio when I was little. He was a band leader.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Band leader is the right answer, Chris.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow and all that stuff.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28OK, third question. You're playing well here, Mark.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33With which group was Alan Price the keyboard player in the 1960s before
0:20:33 > 0:20:38forming the Alan Price Set and then finally commencing a solo career?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Now, keyboard player.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I know there was definitely one in The Animals, because they were quite
0:20:47 > 0:20:49keyboard-based.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I don't think it was
0:20:52 > 0:20:56The Small Faces, I'm sure that was was Rod Stewart's band and
0:20:56 > 0:20:57more guitars.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It could be Manfred Mann.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think I'll go for The Animals, though.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Let me check with your team, they look pleased.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yeah, that's the one. - You've got it, well done!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The Animals is right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13OK, so he's in the lead and Chris,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15if you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Which composer wrote the music for the three-act
0:21:18 > 0:21:20opera The Queen Of Spades?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Mmm... It's a Russian story, isn't it, the Queen Of Spades, so it
0:21:30 > 0:21:36wouldn't be Mahler, he was Austrian, as was Mozart, so it's Tchaikovsky.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Well done. Tchaikovsky is the right answer, so three questions each.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The scores are level, we go to Sudden Death,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and just to make it that bit harder
0:21:44 > 0:21:46these questions are not multiple choice.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Mark, your first question on Sudden Death.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The Glimmer Twins is a collective name
0:21:51 > 0:21:54used by Mick Jagger and which other person?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm sure I've heard of them,
0:22:01 > 0:22:06but I can't think. Mick Jagger and... Glimmer Twins.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Not Keith Richards, is it?
0:22:12 > 0:22:17This will have to be a guess, I'm afraid, Jeremy, really.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Glimmer Twins.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Keith Richards?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Spot on!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Great stuff. Of course the Rolling Stones duo
0:22:30 > 0:22:34and that's the name they use for their production work.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Chris, get this wrong and you're not in the final.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Which band reached number one in the UK with the albums
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Under The Iron Sea and Perfect Symmetry?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It's been advertised on the telly quite recently, Perfect Symmetry.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54The Arctic Monkeys.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- It's the right kind of generation, but no. Daphne knows.- Keane?- Keane.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Chris, you are out, you won't be in the final.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Well done, Mark, you did very well there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Your team are quite relieved. You took on an Egghead,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11you emerged triumphant, so Pensioners, you have Mark on-side for the final.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Both of you, please come back and rejoin us here.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for our final round, General Knowledge.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:23 > 0:23:27won't be allowed to take part, so Steve and Geoff from the Pensioners
0:23:27 > 0:23:31and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Nick, Mark and Rob, you are playing to win the Pensioners £14,000.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You can discuss how much you give those two if you win it!
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Daphne, Barry and Kevin,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50This time the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:23:50 > 0:23:51and you can confer.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Pensioners the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01THEY CONFER
0:24:02 > 0:24:04We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Best of luck. What is the official language of Egypt?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I thought they spoke Arabic.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I think I would have gone for Arabic.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27They're old, aren't they? Isn't Nubian old Africa?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Arabic?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35We're going to go for Arabic, Jeremy.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Arabic is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's terrible to get the first one wrong and you haven't, so well done.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Eggheads, the Schonbrunn Palace
0:24:45 > 0:24:48is a major tourist attraction in which European city?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Vienna, yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's in Vienna, Jeremy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Vienna is the correct answer.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Well done.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Back to you guys.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Ackee and saltfish is a traditional dish of which country?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- How do you spell "ackee"? - Ackee is A-C-K-E-E.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Ackee and saltfish.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I think I know this, guys. I'm pretty sure this is Jamaican.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26They're Jamaican, ackee and definitely saltfish is, I'm sure,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27is a Jamaican dish.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- I haven't got a clue, so... - Happy to go for Jamaica?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33100%, yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36We're going to plump for Jamaica.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Jamaica is the right answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Well done.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Eggheads, which word refers to an ancient parchment
0:25:47 > 0:25:52that has been reused after its original content has been erased?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02That's a palimpsest.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Palimpsest is quite right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Next question is for the Pensioners. Which pseudonym was one of the
0:26:11 > 0:26:15pen names of the writer of historical fiction
0:26:15 > 0:26:17born Eleanor Burford?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Any idea?- No, I haven't got a clue.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If I was having a guess, guys, I'm not entirely sure
0:26:31 > 0:26:34but I'm pretty sure Ellis Peters does write historical books.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38The other two names, I've never heard of, so if I was...
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It's a real guess, but I'm pretty sure Ellis Peters
0:26:41 > 0:26:43writes historical books,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45so if I was going to go for any of them,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I would go for Ellis Peters.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Shall we give that a try?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yeah, go for that. - It's a bit of a guess, Jeremy,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56but I believe Ellis Peters writes historical novels.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58None of us have heard of the other two,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01so we're going to plump for Ellis Peters.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Let me check with the Eggheads.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Does Ellis Peters write historical novels, first of all?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Historical or detective stories, she did, yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Is Ellis Peters the answer?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- No.- It's Victoria Holt. - Victoria Holt is the answer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:21And she also writes under Jean Plaidy and Philippa Carr.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Why do people do that? - I don't know. Well, it's a genre.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25- Genre?- Yes.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I loved Jean Plaidy novels.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I learnt all my history from them.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Victoria Holt is the right answer, so you've got that wrong.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Eggheads, here's your question.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39You need to get this right.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Which leading member
0:27:41 > 0:27:44of the Conservative Party is nicknamed Two Brains?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's David Willetts.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55The MP nicknamed Two Brains
0:27:55 > 0:27:59is indeed David Willetts. You have got it right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Just at the end there as well!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13So, Pensioners, commiserations. The £14,000 will not be yours.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:17 > 0:28:18their winning streak continues.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £15,000 says they don't.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Till then, goodbye.
