0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well known as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.

0:00:35 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz champions today are Archery GB.

0:00:40 > 0:00:46This team are all part of the Grand National Archery Society, the recognised governing body

0:00:46 > 0:00:49for all forms of archery in the UK, so let's meet them.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Hilda. I'm 52 and I'm Team GB archery team leader.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ollie. I'm 28 and and I'm a project manager.

0:00:58 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Naomi. I'm 25 and I train full-time as an Olympic archer.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Graham. I'm 48 and I'm an international archery judge.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Dani. I'm 20 and I'm a Paralympic gold medallist.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Welcome Archery GB, welcome Hilda and the crew.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- And you're all, obviously, archers. - We are, indeed.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23And at the end we have Dani, and you won your gold medal where?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25- In Beijing at the Paralympics. - Tremendous.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Thank you.- Does that mean archery is full time for you now, or not?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33No, I'm doing a law degree at the minute.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38I deferred it so I could concentrate fully on Beijing but back to studying now.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42OK. When I was at school we had a blue fibreglass bow.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Have things moved on since then?

0:01:44 > 0:01:50Indeed they have. There's a lot of technological advances, although that was a beginner's bow and we still

0:01:50 > 0:01:57start with much simpler bows but then we add sights and stabilisers and things to the bows these days.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00So Eggheads, you know what's going to happen if you look like winning!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03THEY LAUGH

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14So, Archery GB, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18That means £17,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23£17,000. First head-to-head battle is on the subject of politics.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Challengers, which one of you wants to play this category,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29and against which Egghead?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Politics, I think we agreed that would be you, Graham.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Yes.- OK.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36That's fine, yes.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39And who did we decide that would be?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Did we decide we'd go for...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- A strong person.- A strong person. - You've got a plan, haven't you?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Did we decide Chris?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48You just can't remember it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:54- Yes. - I think so. Yes, we select Graham to cover politics against Chris.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Graham from Archery GB verses Chris from the Eggheads.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Three multiple-choice questions on politics in turn.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Graham, your choice.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Would you like the first or the second set of questions?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'll have the second set, please.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18We start with you, Chris.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24Who, in a speech in 2000, said, "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?"

0:03:28 > 0:03:33Is you is or is you ain't my baby? It sounds like George W Bush.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll say George W Bush.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37It is indeed George W Bush.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Anyone want to give us another classic line?

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- "There's no French word for entrepreneur."- Yep.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Over to you now, Graham.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Which European country did not become a member

0:03:49 > 0:03:58of the United Nations until 2002, having previously stayed out because of its commitment to neutrality?

0:04:04 > 0:04:09I'm not entirely sure but I don't think it's the Republic of Ireland.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Switzerland have always been quite a neutral country.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17And I'm not sure whether Norway have but I think in this instance

0:04:17 > 0:04:21I'll plump for Switzerland because I know it's always remained neutral.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Very good answer. Switzerland is correct.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Well done.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Over to you, Chris.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Who was leader of the Labour Party group in the Scottish Parliament

0:04:31 > 0:04:40until a scandal over donations to her leadership campaign forced her resignation in June 2008?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Whoa.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54I think that was Wendy Alexander.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57The other two names don't really ring any bells.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Wendy Alexander is the correct answer.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03So you need to catch up here, Graham. Good luck.

0:05:03 > 0:05:10My Life In The Bear Pit is the subtitle of the political diaries of which former Home Secretary?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Ooh. That's quite hard.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I haven't read the book so I don't really know.

0:05:24 > 0:05:30I think I'm going to plump for David Blunkett in this instance.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34David Blunkett is right.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36What made you plump for him?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I think I was aware that he might have written a novel or written

0:05:39 > 0:05:46a book of some description and I just think he had quite a hard time.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49And the bear pit sounds like he had a bit of a hard time.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, he had a very rough time.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Chris, your question.

0:05:53 > 0:06:00Kevin Rudd, who became Prime Minister of Australia in 2007, is the leader of which political party?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11The party labels over there mean rather different things

0:06:11 > 0:06:15to what they mean over here.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19I think he was elected on a bit of a landslide for the Nationals.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21There is a slight rise of nationalism in Australia.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'm going to say it's the Nationals.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25CJ, you know this.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30- It's the Labor Party.- It is Labor. It's one of the main two parties.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Labor is the answer, Chris.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Where are they in the spectrum in Australia?

0:06:36 > 0:06:41Labor is pretty much where you would assume Labor was, in the spectrum.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43But the Liberals and the Nationals are two

0:06:43 > 0:06:49more or less conservative parties, who have often been in coalition.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53So you're wrong there, Chris, which gives Graham a chance.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58In October 2008, alleged conversations about party donations

0:06:58 > 0:07:06on a Russian billionaire's yacht in Corfu dropped which Tory front-bench politician in hot water?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't believe it was William Hague.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Liam Fox...

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm pretty sure it wasn't Liam Fox either

0:07:19 > 0:07:22but George Osborne rings quite a strong bell on this one.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25So I will go for George Osborne.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27He'll be pleased you couldn't remember too clearly

0:07:27 > 0:07:29but it was George Osborne.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32So that means

0:07:32 > 0:07:36not just the point, the round to our archery team, Archery GB.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well done, Graham. You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41So Chris, you won't be in the final round. Graham you will.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Please come back to us.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48As it stands, the Challengers have lost no brains from the final round.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52The Eggheads have lost one brain. Our next subject is Arts & Books. Is this a good one for you?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54We'll see!

0:07:56 > 0:07:59So Arts & Books, who's that?

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- I'll take that.- Naomi, OK.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- And who in the Eggheads? - Which Egghead?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Which Eggghead?

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Kevin.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Yes.- OK.- Kevin.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13All right, Naomi from Archery GB versus Kevin from the Eggheads,

0:08:13 > 0:08:17and to ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the question room.

0:08:18 > 0:08:24Three questions on Arts & Books in turn and Naomi you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25I'll go first, please.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Here we go, good luck.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34Where Eagles Dare and The Guns Of Navarone are adventure books written by which author?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45I really haven't got a clue. I'm going to

0:08:45 > 0:08:52have to just guess. I'll go for...Alistair MacLean.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Alistair MacLean is right. Well done.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Kevin, your question.

0:08:58 > 0:09:04Mrs Warren's Profession and Candida are plays by which Irish dramatist?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12They're by George Bernard Shaw.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13They are.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15By George Bernard Shaw. Well done.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Back to you, Naomi.

0:09:18 > 0:09:25What was the title of the short-lived Vorticist literary magazine of 1914-1915,

0:09:25 > 0:09:29edited and mostly written by the painter and author Wyndham Lewis?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Um...

0:09:36 > 0:09:39The most likely to be the name of a magazine,

0:09:39 > 0:09:43I would have to guess at...

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Smack.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48You think so?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Blast, it was.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Vorticist? Anyone?

0:09:51 > 0:09:55A very short-lived movement, done by Wyndham Lewis,

0:09:55 > 0:10:00and it basically subsumed itself into surrealism.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Sort of verging on nihilism.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05There we are.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Your question, Kevin.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Aravind Adiga's novel The White Tiger,

0:10:11 > 0:10:16which won the 2008 Man Booker Prize, is set in which country, Kevin?

0:10:21 > 0:10:27He's the third Indian writer to win the Booker Prize within

0:10:27 > 0:10:30a relatively short spell. It's India.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33India is correct.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36So Kevin is in the lead.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Naomi, you need this one.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Otherwise he's through.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45In 1916, at the height of the First World War,

0:10:45 > 0:10:53which artist painted Merry-Go-Round, in which people are trapped, screaming, on a revolving machine?

0:11:00 > 0:11:06Erm... I'm going to go for David Bomberg.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's actually not him.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's Mark Gertler.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13So that's Merry-Go-Round. Mark Gertler was the right answer.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18Sorry, Naomi. Kevin has taken the round. He often does.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Naomi, you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be in the final and he will.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32The Eggheads have also lost one. Next subject is music.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Which Challenger wants to play this round, and against whom?

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Now, our choices for music have gone, haven't they?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46- I'm happy to do that. - Ollie?- I'll go for music.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Who were we going to have?- Daphne.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54My nemesis? Shall I go for Daphne?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55- OK.- Daphne, your nemesis?

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Ollie from Archery GB against Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Please take your positions in the question room.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- So Ollie, I'm thinking you might be another archer.- Yes, that's right.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12And at university you taught somebody very famous?

0:12:12 > 0:12:17Yes, I taught Chelsea Clinton when she was studying at Oxford for a year.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22And two of her bodyguards, who are pretty big, pretty strong and also a very good shot.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Daphne, you done any archery?

0:12:23 > 0:12:31I did try it about 30 years ago but I haven't got very strong upper-body.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33And I couldn't pull it

0:12:33 > 0:12:35hard enough.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37There must be a solution to that, Ollie, is there?

0:12:37 > 0:12:41There's definitely a solution. We can make sure we get a bow

0:12:41 > 0:12:45of the right size that will suit Daphne and then get her in the middle in no time.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49OK, on that note I'll ask each of you three questions

0:12:49 > 0:12:52on music in return and Ollie, you can choose the first or second set.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I would like to go first, please.

0:12:57 > 0:13:03Here we go. The piece of music commonly known as Chopsticks is usually played to what rhythm?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I don't automatically know the answer.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19Chopsticks makes it sound like it would be sort of quite

0:13:19 > 0:13:23a sharp set of sounds or beats,

0:13:23 > 0:13:28which I would have thought is perhaps closer to a march than

0:13:28 > 0:13:31any of the others, so I'll go for march on this occasion.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's waltz, actually.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35How do we know it's waltz?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38You can dance to it, in your head.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Does that help, Ollie? - It does. I'll remember that one.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Daphne, your question.

0:13:43 > 0:13:51Under what name did the comedian Peter Kay release the single Once Upon A Christmas Song in 2008?

0:13:57 > 0:14:03It was the name of the female character he played, didn't he?

0:14:03 > 0:14:09And I think... I think it got into the top ten, and it was Geraldine.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Geraldine is the right answer.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Your question, Ollie.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Which singer-songwriter won a Golden Globe in 2009 for the song he wrote for

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Darren Aronofsky's film The Wrestler?

0:14:29 > 0:14:34Again, I'm not immediately sure of the answer.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37The only one that jumps out to me would be,

0:14:37 > 0:14:42well, I hope, is Bruce Springsteen.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's a complete guess, though.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Bruce Springsteen is the right answer. A very good guess.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50And a very good film.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Daphne, your question.

0:14:53 > 0:14:59Catfights And Spotlights is a 2008 album by which girl group?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07You ought to have Chris here.

0:15:07 > 0:15:14- Because the answer is always the Sugababes.- How funny.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16The correct answer is the Sugababes.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well done.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21So you go ahead and that means you need this answer, Ollie.

0:15:23 > 0:15:29Which composer, following his move to Paris in 1823, was affectionately

0:15:29 > 0:15:35known as Monsieur Crescendo, after a characteristic of many of his compositions?

0:15:43 > 0:15:48Again, this will have to be a mixture of guess and elimination.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51I have heard of Franz Schubert.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I have also heard of

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Gioachino Rossini.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Berlioz is a bit familiar.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01But Schubert is quite...

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Perhaps a better-known composer name.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11On this occasion, I'll go with Gioachino Rossini.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13I don't know how you got there but you are right.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Naomi, you know about this, because you love your music?

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Yes, I studied music.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Would you have got that? Yeah.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well done, Ollie. Rossini is correct.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29You're still in there but if Daphne gets this one right, ouch -

0:16:29 > 0:16:31you're not in the final.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Daphne, in what role was Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf,

0:16:35 > 0:16:39who died in 2006, a famous name in classical music?

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, when I was a little girl,

0:16:47 > 0:16:53I used to go and stay with my Uncle Jimmy and he had every single record

0:16:53 > 0:16:57that Elisabeth Schwarzkopf had ever issued.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00And she was a soprano.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05And she was the person on Desert Island Discs...

0:17:05 > 0:17:08All the discs she chose were of her own voice.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Is that right?- Yes.

0:17:10 > 0:17:15You have got it right, soprano. Thank your uncle, was it Jim?

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Uncle Jimmy.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Uncle Jimmy got it right, really.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22Daphne, well done. Ollie, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead and so

0:17:22 > 0:17:25you won't be able to help your team, Archery GB, in the final round.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Please both of you come back to the studio.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32As it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36The Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject is Sports.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Which Challenger wants to play in this round

0:17:38 > 0:17:40and against whom?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- I'll take it.- OK.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48- We'll go with that.- Which Egghead? - I think you should take Judith because CJ is good at sport.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50OK, that sounds like a good plan.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52You're going to go with Judith? OK.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And Dani will play Judith.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Dani from Archery GB versus Judith from the Eggheads, and to ensure

0:17:59 > 0:18:01there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- So you won your gold in Beijing? - Yes, I did.

0:18:07 > 0:18:13And when you were on the winner's rostrum were your relatives there or were they watching on TV, or what?

0:18:13 > 0:18:17No, no. I rang my parents up after I won, before I got the medal.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It was quite funny.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23My sister picked the phone up and she was like, "Oh, what do you want?"

0:18:23 > 0:18:25I was like, "Well, you know, I just won gold medal at Beijing."

0:18:25 > 0:18:28She was like, "Well done. I got my university accommodation sorted out."

0:18:28 > 0:18:31LAUGHTER

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn, and Dani, would

0:18:35 > 0:18:39- you like the first or the second set of questions?- I'll go second.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44OK, you first, Judith.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Which national team did Luiz Felipe Scolari

0:18:47 > 0:18:52manage from 2001 to 2002, just before managing Portugal?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Was it Russia, Scotland or Brazil?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Did you say before managing Portugal?- Yes.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Panic. Portugal was what I was hoping the answer was.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08I think it might have been Brazil.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10He could speak the language.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Brazil is the right answer.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, Dani.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18The Australian rugby union player David Campese

0:19:18 > 0:19:21is best known for playing in which position?

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I've never heard of him, so this is going to be good.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31We'll go with flanker.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's not flanker.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36It's wing.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40OK, Judith.

0:19:40 > 0:19:46In 2004 the England cricketer Ryan Sidebottom joined which county side?

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Oh, gosh. I haven't got round to county sides.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57So, this is a pure guess.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03I'm going to do my lucky side on the right, Leicestershire.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I thought you were.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07And it's run out of luck?

0:20:07 > 0:20:11You have run out of luck. Judith had a streak on the right.

0:20:11 > 0:20:16It was always the right answer. And I knew you were going there again.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Nottinghamshire, actually. - I must try the next left.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yes, start going on the left.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22And you know what's going to happen.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Dani, your question.

0:20:23 > 0:20:29What colour are the dots on the polka dot jersey worn by the king of the mountains in the Tour de France?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Wow.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36I haven't a clue.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40I'll go with red.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- You've gone down the right as well. - Yes.- Successfully, red is right.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Well done.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49So, one point each.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Third question for you, Judith.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55In 2006, 2007 and 2008,

0:20:55 > 0:21:01the IWAF world athletics finals were held in which German city, Judith?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I don't know.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Erm, Berlin.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Should have gone down the right.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- The left has failed me. - You've gone down the left.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- And it's failed me.- We had a premonition of that, didn't we?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22We did. We should have paid attention.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Where should you have gone?- I think I should have gone down the middle.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28No. Try again.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Stuttgart.- Down the right. Just stick with down the right.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33It's much easier.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Stuttgart is right.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Your question, Dani. If you get this right,

0:21:38 > 0:21:39you're in the final round.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41When they joined the NFL in 1937, what was the name

0:21:41 > 0:21:47of the American football team now known as the St Louis Rams?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57I'm going to go Boston.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I don't know why. I'll just go with that one.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05The answer is actually Cleveland Rams. So we go to sudden death now.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08And that means we don't have multiple-choice.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10It gets that bit harder.

0:22:10 > 0:22:18Judith, which German golfer won the US Masters title in 1985 and 1993?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Is Bernhard Langer German?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'll try him. He's got a German sounding name, anyhow.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Bernhard Langer.- Yes.- Correct.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Gosh. Something's gone right.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Your question, Dani, to stay in.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Sudden death, remember.

0:22:35 > 0:22:42Nellie Kim was a leading name in which sport in the 1970s?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44I haven't a clue.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47I don't know. I'll go gymnastics.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Is she right? Eggheads? - Yes.- Really? Wow!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Nice one.

0:22:58 > 0:23:03Judith. How many players per side are there in a game of Eton fives?

0:23:03 > 0:23:07Well, I suppose it can't be as obvious as five, can it?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12I think it's two.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Is that your answer?- Yep.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Two is the right answer, well done.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19So, if Dani gets this wrong, Judith, you'll be in the final.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Dani, your question.

0:23:21 > 0:23:27What type of three-sailed racing boat takes its name from the Norwegian word for youngster?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31A yacht?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Not a clue.- Not yacht.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's actually a name that came up in the Olympics and a lot of people

0:23:35 > 0:23:38spotted it for the first time. Yngling.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Bad luck there, Dani.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47Judith, just squeezed you out in the sudden-death section on sport.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51And so Judith is in the final and Dani you are not, I am sorry.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Please, both of you, come back to us.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56This is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59It's time for our final round, which as always is general knowledge.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04But I'm afraid those of you who lost your heads to heads won't be able to take part in this round.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05So Ollie, Naomi and Dani from Archery GB,

0:24:05 > 0:24:10and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Hilda and Graham, you're playing to win Archery GB £17,000.

0:24:16 > 0:24:22Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29This time the questions are all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Archery GB, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Hilda and Graham, do you want to go first or second?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Can we go second, please?

0:24:42 > 0:24:43All the best, and have fun.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Eggheads, Plymouth Rock, a granite boulder at Plymouth in

0:24:47 > 0:24:54Massachusetts USA is traditionally seen as the disembarkation point for the travellers on board which ship?

0:24:57 > 0:25:02- I think that might be the Mayflower then.- Yes, we all agree. Mayflower.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04We think that might be the Mayflower, Jeremy.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08Mayflower is quite right.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Over to you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:15The term bascule, which comes from the French for seesaw,

0:25:15 > 0:25:20is a technical term that describes which bridge across the Thames?

0:25:23 > 0:25:27- OK, So- ... Tower Bridge is the one that opens.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31The other two are static bridges.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33OK, so do we think it will be Tower Bridge?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Cos it moves.- Yes. OK.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Tower Bridge.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Tower Bridge is the right answer.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Well done.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44First point to you, and to the Eggheads.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45Second question to the Eggheads.

0:25:45 > 0:25:51What name is given to a cabinet that has a fold-down section which forms a writing desk?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Escritoire.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Secretary.- Yes.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04The only one we think we've heard of is secretary desk.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07That's the correct answer.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10It never gets less tense than this, I'm afraid.

0:26:10 > 0:26:16During World War Two the Moroccan city of Tangier was occupied by which country?

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Tangier.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Morocco. North Africa.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33- Spanish doesn't sound right. - No. So it's either Germany or Italy.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Germany did most of the occupying, didn't they, during the war?

0:26:37 > 0:26:41They were the ones that seemed to go into countries.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43OK. So we'll go with Germany.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Actually, it's Spain.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Spain? My goodness.- Spain.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Eggheads, background?

0:26:50 > 0:26:55Spain was officially neutral, but Tangier is just across from Spain.

0:26:55 > 0:27:01Morocco was French territory, and of course France had

0:27:01 > 0:27:06surrendered under the Vichy regime, so some of these coastal places were up for grabs.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- There we are.- Now we know.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Thank you for your knowledge.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14It does mean if you get this answer right you have taken the contest, Eggheads.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19The English author CP Snow who wrote a series of novels collectively

0:27:19 > 0:27:24entitled Strangers And Brothers had a parallel career as a what?

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Scientist.- At Cambridge.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Yes, he introduced the famous idea of the two cultures

0:27:35 > 0:27:39of the arts and literature and science,

0:27:39 > 0:27:43which is reflected in Strangers And Brothers.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46He was a scientist, I'm afraid, Jeremy.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Scientist is correct. Congratulations, Eggheads.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51You have won.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- They just play with some assurance, don't they?- They do.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02And the Morocco stuff was an example of that.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05So, commiserations to you.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Thank you.- The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Their winning streak continues.

0:28:10 > 0:28:15I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £17,000, so that money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:19 > 0:28:24Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26£18,000 says they don't.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Till then, goodbye.
