0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Their pedigree is well-known as they've won some of
0:00:33 > 0:00:36the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And tackling the Eggheads today are The Blitz Dames.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This team are all members of the Birmingham Blitz Dames,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45a roller derby team who compete as part of
0:00:45 > 0:00:51the West Midlands All Female Flat Track Roller Derby League. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Bea. I'm 38 and I'm a cognitive hypnotherapist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Eirin. I'm 25 and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Simone. I'm 26 and I'm a photographer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Michelle. I'm 32 and I'm a film lecturer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm 31 and I'm a curator and artist.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- So, welcome Blitz Dames. Welcome, Bea.- Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And the All Female Flat Track Roller Derby League.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19How do we... What should be in our mind's eye with that?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Well, roller derby is a full contact skating sport for women
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and so I guess what should come to mind is
0:01:26 > 0:01:31women on skates, kind of bashing each other around a little bit.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Is there a ball involved anywhere? - No balls, no, no.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- So you just bash each other for the hell of it?- A good way to put it
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I think is like British bulldog, but on roller skates, going around in a circle.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So it's a race and, basically, you have to stop the other people
0:01:45 > 0:01:53- from scoring points from passing you.- We had a team of female roller bladers, skaters, a while back.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- The London Roller Girls, wasn't it? - That's right, yes.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01They reduced the Eggheads to one and then sadly lost, but it was an interesting game.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- And they were very lively.- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So you have something to live up to!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19So, The Blitz Dames, the Eggheads have won the last 21 games, yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22£22,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The first head to head battle is on the subject of food and drink.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Who wants this?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30What do you reckon ladies? Bea? Food and drink?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Food and drink?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- Yeah?- No.- I'll take that one.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Bea, against who? - Is it Kevin who has been having...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Kevin?- Oh, he knows his number's up!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Yeah, well done. Good choice, actually.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Bea from The Blitz Dames against Kevin from the Eggheads
0:02:47 > 0:02:49who always gets Food And Drink.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Three multiple choice questions for you on food and drink
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and, Bea, would you like the first or second set?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'll go first, please.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Which Italian dish consisting of large rolls of pasta,
0:03:08 > 0:03:13typically filled with meat or a vegetable mixture and served in a cheese sauce
0:03:13 > 0:03:18has a name from the Italian for large tubes?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Well, I think the fusilli is a mushroom kind of thing,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31fettuccini are the long noodles, so I'll go with the cannelloni, please.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Cannelloni is the right answer, well done.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Would you have known that, Kevin? - Yeah, I did know that one.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Here's one for you. A cheese made in a flat circular shape
0:03:43 > 0:03:46is commonly referred to as a what?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, the only one of those I've ever heard applied to cheese is
0:03:54 > 0:03:56wheel, so I'll go for wheel.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Wheel is the correct answer.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Back to you, Bea.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07What is traditionally added to French onion soup before serving?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17That would be a sick combination if it was the sliced apple!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I'll go with the toast and cheese, please.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Yeah, and it's very, very nice. Toast and cheese is correct.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Kevin, the Franschhoek Valley is a wine producing region in which country?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I need a spelling on that one, I think.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41F R A N S C H H O E K.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Franschhoek.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I've never heard of that.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49It's a Germanic sounding word, but it looks more Dutch to me,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52so I know what I'm going for here.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54It doesn't sound Romanian.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I've never heard of that in relation to Germany.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Franschhoek? No, no.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It seems more Dutch so I'm going for South Africa.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06South Africa is correct.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Third question for you, Bea.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Keep the pressure on. What type of food is the Swedish dish matjessill?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I've never had it before.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I don't think it's the potatoes or the salmon,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm going to go for the pickled herring on a guess.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Pickled herring is the right answer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, done, Bea, three out of three.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Good guess, if that's what it was.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Kevin, to stay in it on food and drink, not your strongest.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What type of seafood is usually used
0:05:43 > 0:05:47to make a form of sushi known as a California roll?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I don't... I don't know why, I don't imagine its prawn, so I'm...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm between the other two.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Sushi is Japanese,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04but there's obviously an American influence on this
0:06:04 > 0:06:09which means it could be either squid or crab.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'll go for crab.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Yeah, it is actually crab. Kevin, you're right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Well, so we go to sudden death.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21And not multiple choice.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25It's a bit harder, you have to give me the answer. No alternatives given to you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Bea, here's your question. The ugli fruit is a cross between
0:06:29 > 0:06:31a tangerine and which other fruit?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Ugly is spelt U G L I.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The ugli fruit.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Now, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way bees
0:06:40 > 0:06:45can cross pollinate and I'm thinking it's a lemon,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47so I'll...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'll go with that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51No, the answer is grapefruit.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Kevin, your chance to take the round.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The whole European crop of which fruit belonging to
0:07:01 > 0:07:07the genus Ribes was wiped out in 1905 by a mildew disease
0:07:07 > 0:07:09accidentally introduced from America?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14I'm sure I've heard this at some point, but I can't remember which one it was,
0:07:14 > 0:07:15which is... It just...
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Because obviously there are various fruits belonging to that genus.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Which one to go for?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Gooseberry.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I thought you were going to end up with gooseberry. I don't know why, I just did.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33What led you to gooseberry there?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Somewhere in the back of my mind, I have read that,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39but it was a long, long time ago, so...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Kevin, you're in the final, Bea, I'm afraid you're not.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45You've been knocked out by our Egghead. Don't be dispirited,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49your team can still win and it is £22,000 we're playing for.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Both of you please come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56As it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final,
0:07:56 > 0:07:57the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Our next subject as film and TV, so anyone but Bea. Who wants this?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That will be me, Jeremy.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Against which Egghead?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Anyone but Kevin.- What do you think? - Daphne.- We'll go with Daphne.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13OK, Simone from The Blitz Dames versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Simone, we're trying to work out how you're in the booth
0:08:20 > 0:08:24and Michelle, who's a film lecturer, is left back in the studio.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27That's because I'm a total TV addict, you see, so hopefully,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29a lot of TV questions will come up.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Three questions. You can choose the first or second set, Simone. - I'll go second, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Over to you, Daphne. Which television channel's opening night was plunged into chaos
0:08:41 > 0:08:45when a fire at Battersea Power Station blacked out power to the studios?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Oh! I've not heard of it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Channel 4.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- I think CJ knows this, or somebody does.- BBC 2, isn't it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08BBC 2 it was.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I told you I didn't know it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Year, CJ?- '65?- '64.- '64?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Wasn't there an incident where the next night...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21When they came back the next night the presenter, as a prop,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24had a candle or a candelabra next to him and said,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26"As I was saying before we were..." Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30So, BBC 2, Daphne.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Simone, which Top Gear star is the presenter of
0:09:34 > 0:09:36the TV game show Total Wipeout?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Well, I've actually seen this so I know that to be, as they call him,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48The Hamster, Richard Hammond.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Yeah, Richard Hammond is the right answer, well done.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You're in the lead, now.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Daphne, in the '70s and early '80s, Sue Lawley and Frank Bough
0:09:59 > 0:10:03were two of the main presenters on which TV news programme?
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Oh, dear! I'm absolutely hopeless at this!
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I don't think it was News At Ten.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Nationwide.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Of course, Nationwide!- Oh, good!
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Simone, in the 2008 film The Wrestler,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32what's the nickname of Mickey Rourke's character?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Well, I actually...
0:10:39 > 0:10:44I really wanted to see this and I haven't got round to it yet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48By the looks of Mickey Rourke, he's a bit big and beefy,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'm going to have to go with
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The Ram. A total guess.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The Ram is your guess. Michelle, let me ask you, is she right?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Yes, she is.- She is right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Well done, you've had it confirmed by a film lecturer!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05You're in the lead, Simone.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09If Daphne gets this wrong, you're in the final.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Which she probably will!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Well, you and your guessing, Daphne, it's amazing.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19In which Hitchcock film does Cary Grant play a government agent
0:11:19 > 0:11:24who recruits Ingrid Bergman to infiltrate Claude Rains' circle of German scientists?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Notorious?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Where did you get that from?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I thought Cary Grant was in that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Yes, you're right. The right answer, Notorious is correct.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Sorry, Simone, she's not going to make it that easy.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52If you get this right you've got all three and you're in the final.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54In what type of establishment does
0:11:54 > 0:11:59SpongeBob SquarePants work in the TV cartoon series?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Well, I love SpongeBob SquarePants and that is a fast food restaurant.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It is a fast food restaurant, brilliant work!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You made light work of our Egghead, there.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- Daphne, you're not in the final. Well, done, Simone.- Thank you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You will be playing for the money.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27As it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29the Eggheads have lost one brain too.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31The next round is geography. Who would like this?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Are you going to take the bullet?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Me, Jeremy. I'm going to take it. - Michelle against which one?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- We're just going to, at random, choose Brian.- Barry.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Barry, do you mean?- Barry.- Brian!
0:12:43 > 0:12:44We love you, Barry, sorry!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48So, Michelle from The Blitz Dames,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51obviously really sharp today, versus...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Hang on, I nearly said Brian, then!
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Barry from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring
0:12:58 > 0:13:01please take your positions in the question room.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- So, Michelle the film lecturer on geography.- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I must ask you about your roller derby position. Where do you play?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I'm usually blocker two, blocker three, so I'm in the middle of the pack,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17basically trying to knock over anyone who's trying to overtake me and score points.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So you just mustn't let anyone past?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Yeah, shoulders, hips, knock them down.- But you can't trip them.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25No. No tripping, no elbowing, no punching.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I wouldn't say that it doesn't happen, but if the ref don't see it, it never happened!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34OK, well, good luck in this round. Three questions on geography in turn.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Michelle, you can choose the first or second set.- OK, I think I'll go first.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Which body of water is sometimes humorously referred to by Britons and Americans as The Pond?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Well, this is actually one I know, thank goodness.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57In between us and the States is the Atlantic.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59The Atlantic is correct.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Yeah.- Barry, your question.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06What name is given to a deep narrow gorge with steep sides?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10A berm, routine or scree?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11That would be a ravine.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16A ravine is the right answer, Barry, well done.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Michelle, here's your second question.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Because of the colour of many of its buildings,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24the Moroccan city of Marrakesh is also known as what?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, gosh, I really don't know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I have a feeling inside Moroccan buildings
0:14:34 > 0:14:38there's always all that beautiful blue tiling,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41but I think the outside of the buildings...
0:14:43 > 0:14:49Right, I'm going to take a guess and say the White City.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Let me ask the Eggheads this. Who's been there?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- It's the Red City.- I would say red. - The Red City is the answer.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Sorry, Michelle, you got that wrong.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00It gives Barry a bit of a chance here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Barry, your question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Mounts Bay is part of the coastline of which English county?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I'm not at all sure on this one, so I shall go for the county
0:15:15 > 0:15:18that has the longest coastline and say Cornwall.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Did he get it right? - Yes. St Michael's Mount.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Barry, well done, it is Cornwall.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- St Michael's Mount is the one out to sea.- Exactly.- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You need to get this one right, Michelle,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- or Barry goes into the final and he'll come over all triumphalist on us.- No!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Start whooping and cheering.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Ashgabat is the capital of which country, Michelle?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It sounds like it could come from any of those countries.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I have to say it's going to be a complete guess.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- I'm going to go for Turkmenistan. - Turkmenistan.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00And the Eggheads are laughing now with glee or with amazement?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- No, good guess.- She's right. - Good guess.- Admiration. Good guess.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Turkmenistan is correct.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Barry, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15The Black Forest is part of which of the 16 states that make up
0:16:15 > 0:16:17the Federal Republic of Germany?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Well, it's certainly not Berlin.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28The Black Forest is in the south so I'm just trying to remember
0:16:28 > 0:16:30which of those states is in the south.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I think Bremen is in the north, so I shall go for Baden-Wurttemberg.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Baden-Wurttemberg is the correct answer, Barry.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well done. You have taken the round with that answer,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45so, Michelle, you've been beaten by our Egghead.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48That means you won't be joining the challengers,
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- but here is one consolation, it wasn't films.- Yes.- So the students will not be on at you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Oh, I'm sure they will.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Barry, you'll be joining your team in the final.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Please both of you come back to us now.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So, challengers have now lost two brains,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Eggheads have lost one brain. Our last subject is sport.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- No? I thought you're all sporty. - We're a sports team, yeah, but...
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Not the same.- We're also women!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Yeah. This is going to be bad.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19So, who would you like to take on and who wants to play?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Well, unfortunately, we're probably going to lose another brain, folks.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Well, do your best.- I'm going to have to do sport.- OK, against who?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Oh, who's bad at sport? Judith?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Yeah, Judith?
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Yeah, we've seen Judith get a few wrong on sport, so I think we'll go for Judith.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I need all the help I can get. - Judith, it's happening again. - Oh, dear.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Sport is returning, what's going on? It's Eirin from The Blitz Dames
0:17:45 > 0:17:47versus Judith on sport.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Please go to the question room now.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54So, apart from the roller derbies, what do you do, Eirin?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Sport-wise, not a lot. I used to play on the university cricket team,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00but then I had a little accident.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Really?- So, yeah, I retired.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- What happened?- I totally busted my knee and had to have surgery on it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- It was kind of...- Playing cricket? - Playing cricket, yeah. Bowling.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12You can choose the first or second set.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I think I'll go first, get it over and done with!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Here's your first question, good luck.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Which tennis player sensationally retired from competition in 1983 at the age of 26?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Oh, gosh.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I know John McEnroe was playing in the early '80s.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I don't think he had a particularly long career
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and was known for being a bit stroppy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I know Bjorn Borg was frightfully good.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Jimmy Connors I don't even know about. Oh, dear.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm going to go for John McEnroe because I think he had
0:18:52 > 0:18:55a temper and he might have said, I'm not going to do it any more, no.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Oh, your team are dismayed.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Bjorn Borg is the answer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Judith, your question,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07your sports question, your favourite subject.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13In February 2009, who became the first National Hunt jockey to win 3,000 races?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Oh, I remember this going on and he kept losing a race here and there
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and not making the 3,000.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I... I think it's Tony McCoy.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well done, Tony McCoy's the right answer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33So, Judith is in the lead on sport.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Your question, Eirin
0:19:35 > 0:19:38In 1993, which football team
0:19:38 > 0:19:41became the first champions of the Premier League?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Oh, I believe this was back in the time
0:19:48 > 0:19:52when I was still collecting football stickers, um...
0:19:52 > 0:19:56I know Blackburn won it around about then, but I think
0:19:56 > 0:20:00they won it in 1994, because that's the year I started secondary school
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and we were all swapping stickers then.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07That's what you do at an all-girls school - swap football stickers.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14So, probably Manchester United because they're just far too good,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17so, yeah, I think Manchester United.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Manchester United is the correct answer.- Wow!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You got there. Brilliantly logical steps,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27through your own sticker collection!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Judith, which Indian cricketer is nicknamed The Wall,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33cos he's so difficult to remove when batting?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Search me.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Um, I can't link it to anything.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I think I'm going to say Ganguly.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Ganguly is your answer.- Yeah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- To take the lead. Actually, no.- No?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Rahul Dravid.- Oh.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Back to you, Eirin.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03The boxer James DeGale won a gold medal
0:21:03 > 0:21:07in which weight division at the 2008 Olympics?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Well, I'm afraid I didn't watch much of the 2008 Olympics, because I was
0:21:15 > 0:21:22holed up in some dingy laboratory somewhere, so let me have a think.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I usually do enjoy to watch a bit of boxing,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28so I'm upset I don't know this straight off. James DeGale.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I'll plump for middleweight, it's my favourite weight to watch,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35so I'm just going to go with it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Middleweight is your answer, and that's your favourite weight, is it?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42It's my favourite weight, cos they're not too big
0:21:42 > 0:21:46and just lumbering around going, "Oh, oh!" and are not too small,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49so they've got power behind them, you know?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The lightweights are fun, but it's scrappy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The middleweights - that's where it gets interesting.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, that's lovely. And it's a good thing, too.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Middleweight is the right answer.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Every explanation from Eirin has been interesting today.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- SHE LAUGHS - I'm a scientist, I'm logical. - Yeah, it's all logical.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Judith, your question. Which French rugby union club
0:22:10 > 0:22:16did New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter join on a six month contract in 2008?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- If you get this wrong...- I know.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I think it might be Stade Francais.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Stade Francais.- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Why do you think that? - Just, I don't know. Some...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I'm just twanging a nerve somewhere.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- You're not going down the right? - No, not this time.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It would've been good if you had, Perpignan is the right answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Perpignan.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52So, Eirin, well done.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54You will help your team in the final round.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant. Great news for the Blitz Dames.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Judith, I'm sorry, you won't be in the final. I won't remind you again.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Please come back, rejoin your teams.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10This is what we've played towards, our final round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:23:12 > 0:23:17won't be allowed to take part in this round. So, Bea and Michelle from The Blitz Dames
0:23:17 > 0:23:21and Judith and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26So, Eirin, Simone and Caitlin, what do we say?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28ALL SHOUT: Blitz Dames!
0:23:28 > 0:23:32And you're playing to win those Blitz Dames £22,000.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Barry, Kevin and CJ... No.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- No.- Never mind.- No way!- No chance. Playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all on general knowledge.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49You are allowed to confer. So, Blitz Dames, the question is
0:23:49 > 0:23:53are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Ladies first.- Ladies first, we say.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Your first question. Who played the role of the Child Catcher
0:24:04 > 0:24:08in the 1968 film version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Child Catcher.- He was a ballet dancer or something.- Was he?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- I think so.- I've never actually watched it.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- I don't think it's Robert Helpmann. - Do you think it's a...
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- You said it was...- I'm sure it's someone who was actually a dancer,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- so someone who sounds a bit exotic.- Anton...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Anton sounds kind of French, Russian.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Not the last... Yeah. So we'll go for the first one?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39We're going to go for Anton Walbrook.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43It was not Anton Walbrook, it was Robert Helpmann.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45OK, Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:45 > 0:24:51Here we go. The armies of which people would historically attack in a buffalo's head formation
0:24:51 > 0:24:55with the large horns of troops outflanking and encircling their enemies?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- It was the Impies or the Zulus. - I think you would know this.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05We think it's Zulus, Jeremy.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The buffalo head formation is Zulu, you think.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12You're right, it is Zulu. They're in the lead.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You must stop them. £22,000 on the table.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20Don't let it get snatched away by the bad Eggheads.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24What is a central hall in a modern building
0:25:24 > 0:25:28that rises through several stories and is topped with a glazed roof?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33OK, I did Latin at school.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Yes. Me, too. - And I believe it is an atrium.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I believe it's atrium.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I didn't do Latin, so I'll go with what they say.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- We know this one.- So, yes, we're going to go with atrium, Jeremy.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- You've got the right answer, atrium it is.- Go Latin!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Well done on Latin. We need more Latin.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58Eggheads, to take the lead again, Cobra and Downward Facing Dog
0:25:58 > 0:26:02are two common positions in which discipline?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- It surely can't be ballet. - It's not ballet.- It's not ballet.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Cobra and Downward Facing Dog.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I've done judo and I've never heard it. I done a bit of yoga.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Downward Facing Dog sounds like something you hold,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24you just hold a position.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Not entirely sure, but it seems the most likely would be yoga.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35If you get this right, you're in the lead again.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yoga is the right answer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Always encouraging when they're uncertain.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44But in the end, they knew. So your third question.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You need this or it's over.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52What name was given to the American P-51 long range fighter aircraft
0:26:52 > 0:26:56that came into service in the middle years of World War II?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Well...- It's a tough one. For the Blitz Dames, we should know this.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Well, if it's a plane, I doubt it would be Mustang,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- so maybe...- Really?- Because it's already named after a car.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- No, well, the car came after the plane, probably.- Yeah, good point.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Well, yeah. - Liberator. It was WWII.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- In the middle of the WWII... - Would they have been liberating?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- They liberated us. - Yeah.- Shooting Star.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- That's a bit naff, isn't it?- Yeah. - The Americans like tough names.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33"We're the liberators!"
0:27:33 > 0:27:37So, are we going to go for Liberator or Mustang, girls?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- What do we reckon? Dames? Give me your...- I'm feeling Liberator.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- You're feeling Liberator. - WWII, dark times.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47What are you feeling, Simone?
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- Yeah, we'll go Liberator.- Don't just go with it because I said it.- OK.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We're going to go with Liberator.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The name given to
0:27:57 > 0:28:03the long-range fighter aircraft the Americans brought in in World War II
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- was the Mustang.- Aw!- No way!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16It's always evenly balanced at the end. Commiserations.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, building up an impressive winning streak now.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £22,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26which means that money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? Join us next time to see
0:28:30 > 0:28:33if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36£23,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Till then, goodbye.
