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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Their pedigree is well known, they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:40are the St Alban's Cobras.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team all attend Queen's University, Belfast,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47and take their name from the street that the majority of them live on.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51They quiz twice a week and usually finish in the top three.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Ben.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm 22 and I'm a maths student.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm 22 and I'm a medical student.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Lucy. I'm 21 and I'm a medical student.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Peter. I'm 21 and I'm also a medical student.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Gareth. I'm 21 and I'm an English graduate.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So welcome, St Alban's Cobras, and welcome, Ben.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Thank you.- And the name of the team, the St Alban's Cobras?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's actually the street that three of us live on in Belfast.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- What's it called? - It's St Alban's Gardens in Belfast.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The Cobra thing is your addition?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28The Cobra thing is an addition by us, because during our university career we were invited
0:01:28 > 0:01:32to take part in a university dodgeball league, which we won,
0:01:32 > 0:01:37and so we decided to take the name, the Cobras.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42And it was victorious for us. We made costumes as well, Cobra costumes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And you haven't brought your costumes?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Decided against it because, er...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- we thought people might remember that...- We feel sad.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50..For too long.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52All right. So, welcome.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59If they don't beat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05So, St Alban's Cobras, the Eggheads have won the last 14 games,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09which means £15,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18St Alban's Cobras, who wants this, against which Egghead?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We'd hoped this category didn't come up actually.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I thought this was a classic student category?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah, it is sometimes. Erm...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Gareth, would you like to step up?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I'll take the risk. I'll do it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Gareth, OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Barry?- We'd like to play Barry.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK, Gareth from the St Alban's Cobras versus Barry.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'm still trying to get my head around students
0:02:48 > 0:02:50who are hoping that Film & TV don't come up.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- How do we explain that? - I don't know.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Too much time in the bars as opposed to watching TV.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01Oh, I see! OK. So three multiple-choice questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I think I'll go for the first set.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Which actor and comedian is best known for the TV character Rab C Nesbitt?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Right.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Instantly recognisable to me -
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Billy Connolly.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I know it's not him.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And Robbie Coltrane,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I think... I'm not completely sure...
0:03:34 > 0:03:37but I think he's Hagrid and I recognise him.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41He's not Rab C Nesbitt. So I'm going to go for Gregor Fisher.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45And Gregor Fisher is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Elimination is a great way of working them out.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Barry, "Gizza job!"
0:03:49 > 0:03:54was a catchphrase of which iconic 1980s TV character?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03It was "Yosser" Hughes in Boys From The Black Stuff.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It was "Yosser" Hughes. Well done.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So back to you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Gareth, who played the title role in the 1992 comedy Carry On Columbus?
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25The only one that stands out to me there is Kenneth Williams
0:04:25 > 0:04:29for reasons of which I'm not too sure yet.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I think I'm just going to go on first instinct
0:04:32 > 0:04:33and go for Kenneth Williams.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Kenneth Williams. It could easily be, but it is...
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Jim Dale.- Tricky question that,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41cos they were interchangeable those Carry On actors,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I think Kenneth Williams was dead by then.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It couldn't have been Kenneth Williams.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48So Kenneth Williams was not with us, Gareth.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Barry, over to you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Take the advance with this question. The 1940 romantic comedy film
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The Shop Around The Corner, which starred James Stewart
0:04:57 > 0:05:02and Margaret Sullivan, was remade in the 1990s with which title?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It wasn't Joe Versus the Volcano.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17I'm just trying to remember which of the other two concerned a shop.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I think it's You've Got Mail.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22You've Got Mail is the right answer.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26You got that right, Barry. So that means, Gareth, you have to
0:05:26 > 0:05:29get this right or you are not in the final round.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Who played the sports teacher Mr Sugden in Ken Loach's 1968 film Kes?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's about 100 years before you were born.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Kes I think was a bird. I've no idea.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Probably completely wrong there. I'm going to go for Dudley Sutton.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Sports teacher Mr Sugden in Kes was played in fact by Brian Glover.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Bad luck, Gareth. Barry has won.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04We don't need the question for him because there's no coming back.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05You won't be in the final.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Please, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13All right, the St Alban's Cobras have lost one brain
0:06:13 > 0:06:16from the final round, while the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Next subject is History.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Who wants this and against which Egghead?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, well, I think that I will take this one.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- OK, Ben.- And, Judith, if you'd do me the honour?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Delighted.- Judith.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I think the last game or the one before, one of the contestants
0:06:33 > 0:06:36fell in love with Judith, so she's still coming down from that.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42So Ben from the St Alban's Cobras versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Ben, it's just been pointed out that on the monitors you look like CJ.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, that's a compliment in itself then.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56To me it isn't.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and, Ben, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'd like to go first actually.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Here we go. Good luck.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17The god Marduk was the principal deity of which civilisation?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Marduk is spelt M-A-R-D-U-K.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Right.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I really don't think that it was Ancient Greece.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I think the principal god there might be Zeus.
0:07:33 > 0:07:41And Roman Empire, again, I don't feel as though it's the Roman Empire.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'm going to go down the middle and go for Babylonia.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Well done. Babylonia is right. Really good.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Would you have got that? - I think so.- Here's your question.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57In which month of 1066 did the Battle of Hastings take place?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Ah! Well, before it came up, I was thinking of October.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I think it was October because I think there were gales involved
0:08:09 > 0:08:14and sailing on the right day for William the Conqueror.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16So, October.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Your answer is October.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- And it's right. Well done.- Phew!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Back to you, Ben. The American state of Georgia
0:08:26 > 0:08:29was named after which British king?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40This is really something I would never have thought of.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I think it might be George II.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48George II is the correct answer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Impressive play here.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Fantastic. Judith, over to you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Who became commander in chief of the combined Japanese fleet in 1939
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and oversaw the attack on Pearl Harbour,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04as well as his country's involvement in the Battle of Midway?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, Hirohito was the Emperor.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm torn between Tojo and Yamamoto.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think it's Tojo.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Tojo is your answer. Barry knows his Japan. Who was it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- It was Yamamoto.- Oh, no!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23So Yamamoto was the right answer, Judith.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You didn't get a point there. Over to you now, Ben.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Who was the last King of the French, ruling from 1830 until he abdicated
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and moved to Surrey in 1848?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm really, again, not too sure.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I was kind of hoping for Louis XVI to come up there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I thought that might make sense, but, again, it's only a guess.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Erm... I really don't think it was another Louis.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm actually going to go for Charles X.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- On this occasion you've guessed wrong.- Ah!
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- Cos it's Louis-Philippe.- Oh, well.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04He was the last King of the French.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Charles X was actually the last King of France, but Louis-Philippe
0:10:08 > 0:10:10was known as the Citizen King,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12so he called himself the King of the French
0:10:12 > 0:10:14to distinguish himself from the last King.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- I see. Post-revolution?- Um-hm.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18OK. So you need this, Judith.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- I know.- Or you're not in the... Do you want to be told?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- No.- No. I mustn't say it. - We all know the rules.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We know the rules. If you don't get it, you're not in the...
0:10:28 > 0:10:33In 217 BC, the Carthaginian general Hannibal
0:10:33 > 0:10:40defeated the Roman army under Gaius Flaminius on the northern shore of which Italian lake?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I think it was Trasimeno, Trasi-mayno.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Trasi-mayno or Trasimeno is correct. Well done.- Phew!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56So you're locked even.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58After three multiple-choice questions
0:10:58 > 0:11:01it now goes to Sudden Death. Here we go.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05In US history, the laws that enforced racial segregation in
0:11:05 > 0:11:10the South between the end of the formal reconstruction period in 1877
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and the beginning of a strong civil rights movement in the 1950s
0:11:14 > 0:11:17were commonly known by what name?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I'm really not...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Again, it would be a guess.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Is it the first or second amendment?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I think I'll go for second amendment. I'm not sure, but it sounds sort of right.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's not.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It was called the Jim Crow laws.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Judith, your question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Which historical British political party
0:11:43 > 0:11:49is said to be named after a slang name for Presbyterian rebels in the west of Scotland?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53All I can think of is the Monster Loony Raving Party.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59The Whigs and the Tories, erm, and the Liberals.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02It can't be the Whigs.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04It can't be...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I really can't think. I'm going to say Whigs, cos that's all I can think of.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Your answer is?- Whigs.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Is correct.- No!- Yes. - I never knew that.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Had you gone with Monster Raving Loony Party,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19A) it would have been a great moment in Eggheads
0:12:19 > 0:12:24and B) we would have had to apologise to the Presbyterian Church as well.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's what I thought.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Judith, you've pipped Ben at the post.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30So Judith will be in the final
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and, Ben, you will not be helping the Cobras in the final,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I'm afraid, because you lost the round.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So the St Alban's Cobras have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45The Eggheads still have not lost any.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47The next subject is Sport.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I reckon this is good for you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53This is very good for us, hopefully.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Which Cobra wants Sport and against which Egghead?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I think I'll take Sport.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Peter. Not Judith, not Barry.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think I'll challenge CJ please.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- I really rather you didn't! - He doesn't mean that.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11So, Peter from the St Alban's Cobras versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And so there's no conferring, go to the Question Room.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Peter, you do loads of sport? - I try to stay active, yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Go on, give us the list.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Erm, I play football, Gaelic football, and during the summer
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I like to play golf and tennis. And I also enjoy skiing and snowboarding.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31OK. CJ and Peter, good luck.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'll ask each of you three questions
0:13:33 > 0:13:35and, Peter, you can choose first or second.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I think I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Peter, which country won a clean sweep of medals
0:13:43 > 0:13:47in the women's 100m at the 2008 Olympic Games?
0:13:50 > 0:13:57Erm... Well, one of these countries immediately stands out
0:13:57 > 0:14:01for being notoriously good at sprinting.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And I don't think it was Russia.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Australia enjoyed a lot of success in swimming and other events.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I think it was Jamaica that enjoyed the clean sweep.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Very good. It was indeed. Over to you, CJ.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22Aorangi Terrace is a feature of which UK sporting venue?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Spelt A-O-R-A-N-G-I.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I've heard it. Does that count for anything?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33You've heard of it?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I've heard of it. - Can't give you any marks for that.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Actually, no, I've not heard of Aorangi Terrace.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What I've heard of is Aorangi Park.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Aorangi Park is some sort of facility at Wimbledon. Erm...
0:14:45 > 0:14:51I'm sure Aorangi Park is tennis, so I'll have to go for Wimbledon.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Wimbledon is correct, CJ. Well done. One point each.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Peter, which NFL team made their first-ever Super Bowl appearance
0:15:00 > 0:15:02in 2009?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Erm... Fortunately, myself and my friends
0:15:12 > 0:15:19would...really enjoy watching NFL, so I think I know this one.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I think it's the Arizona Cardinals.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Arizona Cardinals. Well done.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Brilliant that you knew that. It's fantastic.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Arizona Cardinals is correct.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It's great when it's not a stab in the dark and you've been there.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36You've seen it. Enjoy the Sport. Just like you, CJ.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Speaking of stabs in the dark.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Here we go. What innovation to the game of football
0:15:41 > 0:15:46was invented by referee Ken Aston after his experience as Head of Referees
0:15:46 > 0:15:49at the 1966 World Cup finals?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56The name means nothing to me,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but I've got something nagging me
0:15:58 > 0:16:02that red cards were first used in the 1970 World Cup,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06which would chronologically make sense.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Erm... And that's all I've got to go on, so yellow and red cards.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Yellow and red cards is the right answer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It would be funny if it was the offside rule.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19How simple it would be without that.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23OK, Peter, keep the pressure on. Cos he's not that good on Sport,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26even though he's putting on a confident face.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is a respected advice manual for which sport?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42This one I'm actually not sure of, to be honest.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48I know there's a lot of manuals, instruction books
0:16:48 > 0:16:52and whatnot for golf, so I think I'm going to go for golf on this one,
0:16:52 > 0:16:57but, again, it's a guess.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's a good guess though. Golf is correct.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Three out of three.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well done on your Sport.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06CJ, if you don't get this, you're not in the final.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Which country won the gold medal when rugby was last played
0:17:10 > 0:17:11at the Olympic Games in 1924?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16USA.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Straightaway like that. The USA?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Yeah.- You're right. It was the USA.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- You need to know that. It's not guessable.- Yes!
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Did you know that? No.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Amazing. Rugby last played at the Olympic Games, 1924, and America won.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Do they even play rugby now? - Well, exactly.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39OK, three questions each you've had. The scores are level. We go to Sudden Death.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Pete, Gene Tunney was the world heavyweight boxing champion
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- during which decade of the 20th century?- Erm...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52My dad will kill me for not knowing this off hand,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54because he's a big fan of boxing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I'm going to go for the '50s.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's the 1920s.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04'26 to '28, Gene Tunney.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, CJ, you get this right, you are in the final.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Which snooker player is known as Mr Maximum
0:18:11 > 0:18:17having reputedly compiled nearly 200 147-breaks in practice?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Willy Thorne.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19You're right.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24198 so far. Well done, CJ. You've taken the round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Peter, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28so you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Please, both of you, come back and join your teams.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37So, St Alban's Cobras, you've lost three brains. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Our last subject is Geography.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Who wants this? It's Lucy or Ryan.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Do you fancy it, Ryan?
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- What do you think? - Yeah, you're Geography...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- I'll take this one. - OK, Ryan against which Egghead?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- Go Chris.- Chris, yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'll play against Chris.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00So, Ryan from the St Alban's Cobras against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Please take your positions.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I'll ask each of you three questions in turn and, Ryan, you can choose the first or second set.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I think I'll go for the second set.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14The first hasn't been working the best for us so far.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So you first, Chris.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23The Gulf Stream is a powerful current that originates in and is named after which gulf?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It would have a hard job warming Europe
0:19:31 > 0:19:34if it started in the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Alaska,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36so it's the Gulf of Mexico.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Absolutely right. It is the Gulf of Mexico.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Ryan, your question. Faro and Coimbra
0:19:44 > 0:19:46are municipalities in which European country?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I think that the Faroe Islands are a part of Greece.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I don't think it's Italy and I don't think it's Portugal.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59So I'll go for Greece.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Ah, somebody has their head in their hands here. Is he wrong?
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- Not the Faroe Islands. Faro is in Portugal.- Faro is in Portugal.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Coimbra is as well. So, Ryan, you got that wrong, I'm afraid.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Chris, over to you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18What Japanese city was known as Edo until 1868?
0:20:21 > 0:20:28Well, the old capital was Kyoto and they moved the capital
0:20:28 > 0:20:30to what had been Edo and it was Tokyo,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32so Tokyo's the answer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Tokyo is the correct answer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Ryan, you need this one now, or Lucy's on her own.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- That's not what you want. - Not really, no.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46That's like the goalkeeper facing penalties. Here we go.
0:20:46 > 0:20:54Killarney, Listowel and Tralee are towns in which Irish county?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Erm, I remember hearing about a football match
0:21:00 > 0:21:04from back in the 1960s where Kerry were playing Down
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and it was Remember Listowel,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08so I'll go for Kerry.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Shall we all just rejoice? He's got it right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14So far, Lucy, you're off the hook, just for a moment anyway.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19OK, Chris, what is the only American state to have a non-rectangular flag?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Oh!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Now because it was a territory till well into the 20th century
0:21:29 > 0:21:31rather than a state,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I will go with Oklahoma.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36CJ, knows the answer to this. Is it Oklahoma, CJ?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- It's the swallow-shaped tail of Ohio.- Ohio.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Ohio. Oh!
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Oh-ho! Ohio.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Well, there's hope now, Ryan.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49If you get this right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You've still got to get it right though.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Famed for its trout fishing,
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Lake Taupo is the largest lake in terms of surface area in which country?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And it's spelt T-A-U-P-O.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Because of how it's spelt,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I think I would go either for New Zealand
0:22:11 > 0:22:13or Brazil, but it is a guess.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I think I'll go for New Zealand.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Eggheads, is he right?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- He is indeed.- You're right, Ryan.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So three questions each and scores level. We go to Sudden Death.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Your question, Chris.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Which city in Somerset takes its name from the natural springs
0:22:30 > 0:22:37located there and had a population of only 10,406 at the 2001 Census?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40That's Wells.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42It is Wells. Wells done!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Ryan.
0:22:45 > 0:22:52Dar es Salaam is the chief port and largest city of which African country?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Erm...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I think I will go for Tunisia.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Something is probably telling you the right answer, cos the
0:23:01 > 0:23:06first and last letter are correct, but it's not Tunisia. It's Tanzania.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10And you'd think that was the capital, but it's not any more.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- It used to be, but it's now Dodoma. - Dodoma is the capital, yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Chris, you'll be in the final. Ryan, you won't be able to help
0:23:16 > 0:23:18solitary Lucy in the final.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24So please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for our final which is General Knowledge.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:23:31 > 0:23:33won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38So, Ben, Ryan, Peter and Gareth, all from the St Alban's Cobras,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40would you please leave the studio?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Well, here we are, Lucy. - Here we are. Here I am!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Was it always going to end like this?- Not in my head.- You can win.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- It's been done by one contestant... - Just one?
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- Er... No, well, by one, but probably on more than one occasion.- Oh, yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- About three.- Three maybe. So...
0:23:57 > 0:24:03- I'll try my best. - You're playing to win your colleagues, the Cobras, £15,000.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Yep.- Chris, Barry, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you are playing to win something
0:24:07 > 0:24:10that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18This time the questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Great! Can I ask you?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Lucy, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'll go first. Nothing to lose.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Good luck to you. In the UK for how many years
0:24:34 > 0:24:36are new cars exempt from MOT testing?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Erm, I'm not really that sure of this,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46but I've, erm,
0:24:46 > 0:24:51had a car myself for maybe just coming up on a year now
0:24:51 > 0:24:56and I haven't got anything, erm, regarding an MOT.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58The answer might be three years.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Ten years seems quite a long time,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02so I'll go for three.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Three years is right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Well done.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Eggheads, your question.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Who had UK hit singles in the 1950s with Singing The Blues
0:25:14 > 0:25:15and Rock With The Caveman?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Tommy Steele.- Singing The Blues certainly was Tommy Steele.- Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25That was Tommy Steele.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Tommy Steele is quite right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I know there's five of them, but they can fall out with each other.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Sometimes it helps.- I've no-one to fall out with.- You don't.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36So I hope this one will be good for me.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Lucy, what is the most common alias of the comic-book villain
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The Riddler, a frequent adversary of Batman?
0:25:48 > 0:25:55Erm, I'll have to be honest, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Harley Quinn, maybe just gut instinct.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's just the first thing that I thought,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05"Yeah, maybe that one." So for the pure reason,
0:26:05 > 0:26:06that's the one I'll go for.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Harley Quinn. It's actually wrong.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- It's Edward Nigma.- OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13As in "enigma".
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Harley Quinn is the Joker's sidekick. - Oh, right.- And she's a female.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- And Joseph Kerr? Jo Kerr? - The Joker.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You pull ahead if you get this right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26What is the literal meaning of the word "cenotaph" when translated from the Greek?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's empty tomb.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Empty tomb is the right answer.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40So what that means is...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- You need to get this one right.- OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:50In which month does the grouse-shooting season end on mainland Great Britain?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Erm...
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Again, not something I would be very familiar with, grouse shooting.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Erm...
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I think maybe December.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09December is right!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11QUIET APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- They could have clapped louder couldn't they?- A nervous clap.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's a nervous clap.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22OK, Eggheads, you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27What denomination of the American dollar is sometimes referred to as a "sawbuck"?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Sawbuck is ten.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36That's the ten dollar note, Jeremy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40The correct answer is ten dollar note.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Well!- You did fine and commiserations, Lucy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And to the Cobras, back there, St Alban's Cobras.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56So the Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58They reign supreme over quizland.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Their winning streak continues and the Cobras won't be going home with the £15,000.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05That money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:11 > 0:28:14have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£16,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
