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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, 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 have won
0:00:32 > 0:00:36some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Taking on the might of our quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the Brent Connection.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This team of friends and family are connected through
0:00:44 > 0:00:46a mental health charity based in west London.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49After organising various quizzes for the charity,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53they decided to put a team together to challenge the Eggheads.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Let's meet them. - Hello. I'm Mel, I'm 36.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm an executive coach.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm Keith, I'm 52 years old.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01I am a database developer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Jan, I am 56 and I'm a charity chief executive.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Vince. I'm 44 and I'm an IT consultant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi. I'm Becky. I'm 27 and I'm a volcanologist.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Welcome, Brent Connection. - Thank you, Jeremy.- Good to see you.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And you are connected through a mental health charity?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Primarily through myself.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25My sister sits at the end, and Jan and I worked for the same charity,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27but I don't work there any longer.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Through that, we discovered a love of quizzing.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- How does it feel to be here with this lot face to face?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I think we'll step up to the challenge,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37but it is a little nerve-racking.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39OK. Good luck. Hope your minds are
0:01:39 > 0:01:41really clear and focused this afternoon.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:01:47 > 0:01:49rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, Brent Connection, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55they are doing rather well, the last 22 games.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Wow!
0:01:57 > 0:02:03So £23,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. A handy sum.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Arts And Books.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Challengers, which one of you
0:02:08 > 0:02:11wants to play this category and against which Egghead?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, I think, Jan, you're the Arts And Books expert.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Sounds like a good choice.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- I'll go for it.- Jan, I think.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Jan. Against?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I don't know. Possibly CJ. What do you think?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I'd like to play CJ.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- OK.- CJ. CJ is preening himself there, in his fancy shirt.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So Jan from Brent Connection against CJ the Egghead. To ensure there is
0:02:35 > 0:02:39no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Good luck, Jan.- Thank you.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Three multiple choice questions on Art And Books and Jan,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49you can choose the first or second set.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'll have the first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Here we go. Good luck. The ghost Moaning Myrtle
0:02:55 > 0:02:58is a character created by which author?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Um...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I don't think it is Charles Dickens,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11um...
0:03:11 > 0:03:17and it sounds a bit...Potterish.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I can't remember it from any of the Alice In Wonderland books,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so I think I'll go for JK Rowling, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Good elimination. JK Rowling is correct.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Over to you, CJ. The epic poem
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The Odyssey was originally written in which language?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I assume, considering where it is based and who wrote it,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41it would be Greek, Jeremy.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Greek is the correct answer.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Jan, your question.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Elizabeth Siddal, nicknamed Guggum,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51was the wife and muse of which artist?
0:03:57 > 0:04:04I think Elizabeth Siddal lived with Rossetti in the Red House.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I think I saw a programme about this quite recently,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12so I am going to go for Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Rossetti is the correct answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16And the Red House thrown in! Thank you.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18CJ.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21In Thomas Hardy's novel, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24where is Tess finally caught by the police?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Haven't read it. I've only read one Hardy novel,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and that was quite enough, thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38But isn't there something...? One of his novels has something
0:04:38 > 0:04:41to do with Stonehenge...
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Um...I've got something nagging me that is saying one of his novels
0:04:46 > 0:04:50has got something to do with Stonehenge, so I'll try Stonehenge.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Stonehenge.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Is he right?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01There's very good telly of it, and the scene at Stonehenge
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- is very sad.- Very sad.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Stonehenge is right, CJ. Well done.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Over to you, Jan. Try and lock him out here.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Dennis Potter's play, Blue Remembered Hills,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16takes its title from a work by which writer?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25OK, I am not sure about this one.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I think EM Forster's all A Room With A View and so on...
0:05:35 > 0:05:40..but...I think I'm going to...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42try one of the other two
0:05:42 > 0:05:47and I am going to go for AE Housman.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Dennis Potter's play, Blue Remembered Hills,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55takes his title from a work by AE Housman.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You are quite right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Stupendously good play. Over to you, CJ.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Which French painter, born in 1877,
0:06:02 > 0:06:03is best known for
0:06:03 > 0:06:07his brightly coloured scenes of the French Riviera?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, this is one of those that I am hoping that
0:06:17 > 0:06:20some little bit of elimination can help.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Georges Braque was a Cubist.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29I've only vaguely heard of Dufy,
0:06:29 > 0:06:35but Pissarro painted a lot of...rustic scenes, didn't he?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Old Woman In Cottage or something,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I think that is one of his, or something like that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I have seen some of his pictures in the National Gallery.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I don't know anything about Dufy and simply because I know things
0:06:47 > 0:06:51about the others' style and subject matter, I will try Raoul Dufy.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well done. Dufy is the correct answer. Three out of three.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57So we have done the multiple choice part of the round.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01We go to Sudden Death now, Jan. I don't give you alternatives now.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06It's difficult. The married couple, Edward and Lavinia Chamberlain,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09are characters in which play by TS Eliot?
0:07:09 > 0:07:15OK, it doesn't ring bells yet.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22But I will have a guess of The Mill On The Floss.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27No, it's not The Mill On The Floss, which was by...
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- George Eliot. - The Cocktail Party is the answer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34CJ.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36This for a place in the final, CJ.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40What's the first novel in the series of books known collectively to fans
0:07:40 > 0:07:41as the Ripliad?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That means absolutely nothing to me. Um...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, I wonder if it's got to do with Tom Ripley. Of course.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- I don't know. We'll try The Talented Mr Ripley.- Absolutely right, CJ.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well done. I didn't think you'd get that!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You won on sudden death against Jan. Sorry, Jan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05That means you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07CJ will be with the Eggheads in the final.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Both of you come back and join us.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13So the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18CJ won through. Our next subject is Science.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- OK.- Who's the scientist?- We have got a number of scientists on our team.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'm thinking...
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It's Becky or Vince, really, isn't it? Becky, did you want to..?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I don't mind. I can have a go.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Go for it, Becky. - OK.- Against which Egghead, Becky?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Um...- Possibly Judith?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Possibly Judith. Or possibly Daphne.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- If you think that's best.- We're thinking Daphne, I think, please.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45So Becky from Brent Connection
0:08:45 > 0:08:48against Daphne from the Eggheads, on Science.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I will ask each of you three questions on Science in turn.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Becky, would you like the first or the second set?- First set, please.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Becky, here is your first question.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Nearly all cheetahs remaining in the wild live on which Continent?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm fairly sure there are no cheetahs in Europe.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15So I'm not going to say that one.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I am more confident that there's a lot of cheetahs
0:09:19 > 0:09:22in Africa than I am in South America,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24so I am going to choose Africa.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Bang on. Africa is right. Well done.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Daphne, over to you. What is the chemical symbol of magnesium?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Um...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I get that muddled up with Manganese.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50It's Mg.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Mg is the answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Becky, for what does the first letter A stand
0:09:58 > 0:10:01in the American agency acronym NASA?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I'm fairly sure it's not aviation. Erm...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I'm actually quite certain it's aeronautics, Jeremy.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23It is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Well done, Becky. Good!
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Daphne, pressure on you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- You feeling it?- Yes!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34What term is used to classify a mammal that lays eggs
0:10:34 > 0:10:37rather than gives birth to live young?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45That's monotreme.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47How do you know that?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Because it's like a duck-billed platypus, isn't it?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- All right.- Yes.- Or an echidna.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Or...?- Duck-billed platypus and echidna.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I think they're the only two. - The only two monotremes, yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Mammals that lay eggs.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Quite right. Monotreme is right, Daphne. Well done.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Impressive.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Becky, gum arabic, a substance used in adhesives
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and other products, is obtained from certain species of which tree?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Oh, erm...
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Trees aren't my speciality. Erm...
0:11:26 > 0:11:33I've never heard of mahogany being used for adhesives, and
0:11:33 > 0:11:36neither cedar, so I'm going to
0:11:36 > 0:11:40hedge my bets on acacia.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41You're right!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Well done, Brent Connection. Daphne, if you get this wrong, you're not in
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- the final round, and I know you'll be really upset about that.- I will!
0:11:51 > 0:11:56At approximately what temperature in degrees Celsius does water boil
0:11:56 > 0:11:59at the top of Mount Everest?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Oh, for heaven's sakes!
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Sorry, could you repeat that while I try and get my brain in gear?
0:12:10 > 0:12:15At approximately what temperature in degrees Celsius does water boil
0:12:15 > 0:12:16at the top of Mount Everest?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27I have absolutely no idea!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Can't even begin to think how to work it out.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Erm...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Water boils at...
0:12:39 > 0:12:44I don't know whether it goes up the higher get or the lower.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Erm...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I don't know, Jeremy. Erm, 112.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57- Sorry.- 112. So you think it boils at a higher temperature?- I've no idea.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Now, what's the science here, Becky?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01- You tell us.- Because it's wrong!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Erm, I'm not actually sure on this one.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I know it takes longer for things to cook
0:13:07 > 0:13:10up in altitudes, but I'm not sure if that's because it boils at
0:13:10 > 0:13:13a higher temperature so it takes longer
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- to reach that temperature.- Well, it boils at a lower temperature.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It takes longer to cook because the water doesn't heat as fast.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- The water doesn't heat as fast, why?- Oxygen levels, I assume.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24That's burning fuel. That's different.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The boiling point comes down because
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- the atmospheric pressure is lower. - Pressure, yeah.- Right. It's 72.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I knew it was one or the other, but I didn't know
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- the physics of it. - So, well done, Becky.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40You have taken on an Egghead, you've emerged triumphant.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41You will be in the final round,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44helping out the challengers. Daphne, you won't be.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Do, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from
0:13:50 > 0:13:52the final round and so have the Eggheads.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56The next subject is Sport. Which of you wants Sport?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57You must have someone on Sport.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00None of us wanted Sport. That has to be me, I'm afraid,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03because I'm the only one who knows anything.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- And that's only about football. - Mel?- You will excel.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Unfortunately, that's me, Jeremy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Mel will excel. Against which Egghead?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I don't know. Should I take on Chris?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Chris.- I think I'll take on Chris.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Oh, joy...
0:14:18 > 0:14:23So Mel from Brent Connection versus Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure
0:14:23 > 0:14:26there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So, three questions on Sport in turn, and, Mel, you can choose
0:14:31 > 0:14:33the first or second set.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Here we go. The rugby union player Will Greenwood,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43who earned 55 international caps and
0:14:43 > 0:14:46was part of the victorious 2003 England World Cup team,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48played in which position?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Jeremy, I was hoping you'd ask me a football question and hoping
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- you wouldn't ask me a rugby question, but I'll give this a go.- I'm sorry.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Er, Will Greenwood. He's, erm...
0:15:01 > 0:15:05He's not particularly large.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06I don't know,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think centres may be part of the scrum.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I don't know if I'm completely off here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I don't know. I'm thinking I may go for hooker.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I think they're the ones that hook the ball out and throw it behind.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I'm not sure, but I'll go for hooker.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23That's what a hooker is, but he's not.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- He's a centre.- Oh.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26He's a centre.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32Chris, which footballer courted controversy in 1997 by raising
0:15:32 > 0:15:37his top to reveal a slogan of support for the Merseyside dockers?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Ooh!
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Now, presumably he played for either Liverpool or Everton if he was
0:15:48 > 0:15:54supporting the Merseyside dockers, or possibly Tranmere Rovers. Er...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Michael Owen's a bit too beige.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think it was Robbie Fowler.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Robbie Fowler's the right answer. Well done, Chris.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Your question, Mel.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan
0:16:11 > 0:16:13have played Test cricket for which team?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'm not entirely sure.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22The names don't sound particularly West Indian.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24They don't sound Caribbean to me.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26They don't also sound like north Indian names.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29They sound more southern Indian, so on that basis I'm going to
0:16:29 > 0:16:32plump for Sri Lanka, please.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Sri Lanka's actually wrong.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It is the West Indies, funnily enough.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Somewhat surprisingly, maybe. The names are Trinidad.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Trinidad and Guyana have both got substantial Asian populations,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51originally indentured labourers who came over from India, a lot of them,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54and cricket is a big game amongst that community.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I think the current West Indies squad now has actually got four or five
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Asian players as opposed to Afro-Caribbean players.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Fascinating! So we now know.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Next time that comes up in a quiz, Mel, we're there.- We are.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11We'll know it. Chris, if you get this question right,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14you go through to the final round.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Which golfer won the 1986 US Masters at the age of 46?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Erm, which of those is the oldest?
0:17:28 > 0:17:34I seem to remember Arnold Palmer being around an unconscionable time.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Er... Or was it Gary Player?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Jack Nicklaus, I think, was relatively young...
0:17:41 > 0:17:43No, we'll go with Arnold Palmer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46No, it's not Arnold Palmer, it's Jack Nicklaus.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50So you're still in it but you need to get this right now.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Your third question. How many times was Muhammad Ali defeated
0:17:55 > 0:17:58in his 61-bout professional career?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I don't believe it was many times at all.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08On that basis, Jeremy, I'm going to plump for five times.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12That's good logic. Five is right! Yes.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Chris, your question, you get this right and you're in the final round.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Which athlete won four consecutive 10,000 metre World Championship
0:18:22 > 0:18:26gold medals between 1993 and 1999?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Well, the Ethiopians are very good distance runners, aren't they?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I think it will be the one with the Ethiopian name,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47which is Haile Gebrselassie.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It is quite a famous name.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53It is the right answer. It's Gebrselassie who won
0:18:53 > 0:18:56four consecutive 10,000 metres medals.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59That's an extraordinary achievement, isn't it? Between 1993 and 1999.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well done, Chris, you're through a final in sport.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yeah, you can be really happy about that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Mel, you were beaten by our Egghead but you will have raised
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Chris's mood slightly, because he's won a horrible subject for him.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Mel, you won't help your team in the final. Chris will.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Please, both of you, come back to us now.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:19:20 > 0:19:24from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Here we go with our last subject, Film And TV.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Who would like this? - Shall we play Vince?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Shall we go for him? - We'll put Vince in.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37We have a film buff in our team, Jeremy, and that's Vince.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40OK, Vince against who?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Who likes film least?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Judith!
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Judith, please.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It had to happen.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Vince from Brent Connection verses Judith from the Eggheads.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53To ensure there's no conferring,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56please take your place in the Question Room now.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:19:59 > 0:20:01on Film And TV in turn.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:20:04 > 0:20:07and you can choose whether you have the first or second set.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08I think I'll go first.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Here's your question. Which actor co-starred with Julia Roberts
0:20:14 > 0:20:16in the films Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Mmm. I think I've got this one. I don't recall any films
0:20:27 > 0:20:31with Julia Roberts and Pierce Brosnan or Liam Neeson.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36It's got to be Richard Gere in Pretty Woman so, Richard Gere.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Richard Gere is the right answer, yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Unforgettable!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45OK, Judith! Here's your question.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50For which 1987 film were Cher and Olympia Dukakis
0:20:50 > 0:20:51awarded best actress and
0:20:51 > 0:20:54best supporting actress Oscars, respectively?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Well, not Beaches, anyhow.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Help! I think it's Moonstruck.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Very good.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Good film, good answer, Moonstruck is right.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Over to you, Vince.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20David Finch's film, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,
0:21:20 > 0:21:26was nominated for how many awards at the 2009 Oscars ceremony?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Good question. Slumdog Millionaire had loads of nominations
0:21:35 > 0:21:39and wins. I think Benjamin Button also had loads as well.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It didn't win that many.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I'm going to plump for seven.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Seven is not the right answer, it was 13.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It did even better than that, actually.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Over to you, Judith. Mary Ellen, Erin and Elizabeth were
0:22:00 > 0:22:04the three daughters of the central family in which US TV series?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Mary, Mary... What is it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Mary Ellen, Erin and Elizabeth were the three daughters of
0:22:15 > 0:22:19the central family in which US TV series?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I think it might be The Waltons.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- It's the right answer.- Ah, I'm veering to the left nowadays.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You are. Your question, Vince.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34If you get this wrong, Judith is in the final.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38What was the first name of the character played by David Soul
0:22:38 > 0:22:39in the TV series Starsky and Hutch?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Dave...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Harold doesn't sound right, does it?
0:22:50 > 0:22:57Harold... I've got a pretty good feeling it was Ken Hutchinson.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'm going to plump for Ken.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Your answer is Ken.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So you think David Soul played Hutch?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07He certainly did.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Ken is the right answer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Here's your question, Judith.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17If you get this question right, then you've won the head-to-head.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21"A man went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere",
0:23:21 > 0:23:27is a tag line to which 1969 film starring Jack Nicholson?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- What date?- 1969.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I think it's Easy Rider.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Jack Nicholson on the motorbike.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Easy Rider, it was, down the right hand side.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Yes.- The wind is changing.- Yes.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50So Judith you've won. Vince, sorry, she's good.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53You were beaten by our Egghead and you won't be in the final
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and there's no easy way to say it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Judith, you will be. Please both of you come back to us now.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01So this is what we've been playing towards,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02it's time for the final round
0:24:02 > 0:24:04which is, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:06 > 0:24:09won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So Mel, Jan and Vince from Brent Connection and
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22Keith and Becky, you are playing to win Brent Connection £23,000.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Intake of breath. Judith, Kevin, CJ and Chris,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:24:28 > 0:24:29the Eggheads reputation.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions
0:24:32 > 0:24:36are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39So Brent Connection, the question is,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42are your two brains better than the Eggheads four?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Keith and Becky, do you want to go
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- first or second? - We'll go second this time.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Here's your question then, Eggheads. On which river
0:24:53 > 0:24:56did Captain Chesley Sullenberger
0:24:56 > 0:24:59successfully crash land a US Airways Airbus A-320,
0:24:59 > 0:25:05minutes after taking off from LaGuardia Airport in January, 2009.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- It was the Hudson. - It was Sullenberger the third.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15He landed on the Hudson.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He did indeed land on the Hudson.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20That is correct.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22With no...
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Well, injuries but no deaths?- Yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Last man out, wasn't he?- Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29OK, Brent Connection.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35Which country announced in January 2009 that it would be releasing
0:25:35 > 0:25:38a 100 trillion bank note,
0:25:38 > 0:25:43which at the time was worth approximately £22?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50International currency is not my thing.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, I think we've heard a lot about Zimbabwe and
0:25:53 > 0:25:56them having a million per cent per annum inflation.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57It might be more than that by now.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I think they've even stopped using their own currency by now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04So would you be happy with Zimbabwe?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Our answer is Zimbabwe.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10And Zimbabwe is the right answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16I was there in the late '90s and it was 30 Zim dollars to the US dollar.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19It now costs 6 million to buy an egg.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Over to the Eggheads. Sasha Fierce is the alter-ego,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28or stage persona of which R&B singer?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- It's Beyonce.- Yes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's one of the... She's not the only one, is she?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39She's got these multiple personalities, so to speak.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's Beyonce.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Beyonce is the correct answer.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Your question now, Brent Connections, stay in there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Which of the three coloured horizontal stripes on
0:26:51 > 0:26:54the national flag of Colombia occupies
0:26:54 > 0:26:58the whole of the top half of the flag?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Somehow I don't think yellow.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I don't think yellow's on the flag. I think it's blue, white and red.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I could be wrong.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12There's enough of blue, white and red ones...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19We won't discuss it at all, we'll go for blue, please.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25I am afraid that the flag does have yellow.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Yellow was the answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Flags are easily misremembered.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34So there's a good defence for that.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38So, Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43George Bush Senior and which other US president were born in 1924?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Jimmy Carter must be about the right age.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's Jimmy Carter.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I'll put the other team out of their misery.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The answer is, indeed, Jimmy Carter.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well done, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The flag of Colombia, would you have known that?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Yes.- Yes, they don't even make you feel any better.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11They don't spare your feelings.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Commiserations. The Eggheads have done
0:28:14 > 0:28:17what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21You won't be going home with the £23,000, Brent Connection,
0:28:21 > 0:28:25which means the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Who's going to beat you, I wonder? It's a very good winning streak.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:33have the brains to do it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36£24,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Till then, goodbye.
