0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly Britain's greatest quiz team.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Their quiz pedigree is well known. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Challenging our resident quiz goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are the Poker Saints from Hertfordshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This team of friends share a passion for poker
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and all belong to the Under the Gun Poker Club in St Albans.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Marco, I'm 45 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Phil, I'm 46, I'm a nurse.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Tom, I'm 28 and I'm an investment banker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Ashley, I'm 30 and I'm an electrician.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Nick, I'm 32 and I'm a vet.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Welcome, Poker Saints. Welcome, Marco.- Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- "Under the gun" is a poker term? - Yes. The first person to act after the blinds have been posted.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17After...? Oh, no. I'm out of my depth already.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We'll play afterwards.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24As poker players, do you have a deadpan expression that you've been practising?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We haven't practised it. This is as good as it gets.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29OK. It may be necessary in this game.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41So, Poker Saints, the Eggheads have won the last 23 games,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45which means £24,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Are you ready to try? - We'll give it a go.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Who wants this?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Phil?- Is it going to be me? - I think so.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- All right. It's me. - Phil against...?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Ah, right. Fancy Barry?- OK. - We'll take on Barry.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08It's always music with Barry for some reason we can't really fathom.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Phil from the Poker Saints against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So, Phil, apart from poker, what else do you do?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I like travelling, and I like my motorbikes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Terrific. So the motorbikes - your days off, up you go around the country?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- Yup, and a bit of poker in between if I can.- That sounds like that might just be the life.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I'll ask you each three multiple-choice questions in turn.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Phil, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Here we go.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Under The Boardwalk and Come On Over To My Place
0:02:50 > 0:02:54were hit singles in the 1960s for which group?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Oh, dear.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04This is difficult for me.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I don't think it's The Hobos...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09because I've never heard of them.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I will go for... The Vagabonds.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The Drifters is the right answer, not The Vagabonds.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Your question, Barry.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Strike Up The Band and Girl Crazy are musicals by which composer?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's certainly not Aaron Copland.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I think it was Irving Berlin.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Let's get the answer from your colleagues.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40They always enjoy telling their colleagues that they're wrong.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- It is George Gershwin. - George Gershwin.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I'm going to find it hard to live with myself soon!
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Phil, you've managed to pull level without getting an answer right.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01What name is given to the small, round, metal discs in a tambourine?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Small metal discs...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Well, they jingle. It could be that one.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Bangles?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Doesn't sound right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20If in doubt, go for the middle one. Jingles.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Nice one. Jingles is correct.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28The middle one served you well this time, unlike the last one.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Barry. "Radio, video, boogie with a suitcase,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35"You're living in a disco, forget about the rat race"
0:04:35 > 0:04:40are lines from which 1979 UK hit single for M?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Funny, I haven't a clue.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It doesn't sound like punk - or even rock, for that matter.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So I shall say Pop Muzik.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Pop Muzik is right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You got that right without knowing the song at all.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- It doesn't seem fair. - Life's like that.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Phil, your question.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Which singer released the album Years Of Refusal in 2009?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Years Of Refusal. Refusal about what?
0:05:18 > 0:05:24OK. Damon... Albarn? Never heard of him.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Marc Almond? Soft Cell. Old boy.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Morrissey? I'm not entirely sure who Morrissey is.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39OK, I'll go for the first one. Marc Almond.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Marc Almond is actually wrong.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Am I taking it that music maybe isn't your strongest subject?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Definitely not.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Morrissey is the correct answer.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Former lead singer with The Smiths. - Sorry, boys.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59You're still in it cos Barry could still explode.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Your question. Which Tudor composer's life
0:06:03 > 0:06:07is the subject of an opera by Peter Maxwell Davies?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Thank you for giving me all Tudor composers!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I was hoping somebody would be from a different era.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Peter Maxwell Davies. Could be any of them.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'll go for John Taverner.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Daphne, you're happy with that?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm happy, cos that's what I'd have gone for,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35so I hope it's right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39John Taverner is the right answer. Barry, you've won the music round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Phil, sorry. You were beaten by our Egghead,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46so you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54The challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Keep those deadpan poker faces.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The next subject is sport.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Do we have a sportsman?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- I'll try that one. - We'll give Ashley a go.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Ashley...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- THEY CONFER - I'll take on Chris, please.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Oh, no. He's going to be in such a foul mood. - OTHERS LAUGH
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- You've had three sports in a row. - Yeah, and I won the last one, so watch it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Ashley from the Poker Saints versus Chris, a very angry Egghead.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You graduated from Nottingham Trent University a while back?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yeah, in 2001, with a Business Studies degree.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- And what do you do now? - I'm an electrician. - CJ CHUCKLES
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Why is there laughter from CJ? That's a top profession now.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I'm wondering, why do Business Studies and then become an electrician?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Presumably it's good business.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53The money's not bad. And eventually I'd like to emigrate,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56so having a trade under my belt is always a good thing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58If you win, what will your money go on?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I'm trying to talk the team-mates into one of us going to Vegas
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- to play in the World Series of Poker, Main Event. - That'd be good.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ashley, you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Here we go.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20In January 2009, who was appointed Europe's Ryder Cup captain for 2010?
0:08:28 > 0:08:35I was hoping I wouldn't get any golf questions. It's not my strongest subject in sport.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I don't think it was Colin Montgomerie.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42So it's between Mark James and Ian Poulter.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I think I'm going to go for Ian Poulter, Jeremy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51When you said it's not Colin, a few heads dropped at this end.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Colin Montgomerie was the answer.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Chris, your question.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02What is the maximum permissible length of a pitch in domestic football?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Well, 200 yards is too far. It's an eighth of a mile.
0:09:13 > 0:09:1780 yards I think would be a bit cramped. So it's 130 yards.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The maximum is indeed 130.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Ashley, over to you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27What is the only Grand Slam Men's Singles tennis tournament
0:09:27 > 0:09:29that Boris Becker failed to win?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39I was hoping Wimbledon would be there to narrow it down.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm really not sure about this one.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Australian and US are both hard courts,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48so I'll go for the odd one out, the clay court, and go French.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53The logic's good. French Open is right. Excellent.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Chris.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Matt Prior, born in 1982, has represented England at which sport?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Hmm.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I don't recognise the name at all.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It's not cricket, and I don't think it's rugby union.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15I'll go for hockey.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You ruled out cricket but that's the right answer.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Is it indeed? - Cricket is the answer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22One point each.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Third question to you, Ashley.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Put the pressure on Chris. He doesn't like sport.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31He'll get angrier and angrier and suddenly just burst into flames.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- No, he turns green. - Incredible Hulk.- Sulk.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Ashley, over to you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Which motor sport is governed by the FIM?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I don't think it's Formula 1 cos that's the FIA.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53So it's between speedway and rallying.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I think I'll take a punt at speedway, Jeremy.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Speedway...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01is right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07It's the Federation Internationale de... Motocyclisme.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11The writing on this is so small.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14And that was from memory.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Chris, if you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26What does the referee's command "Hajime" mean in a bout of judo?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I don't think there would be a command to break in judo
0:11:34 > 0:11:37since you don't hang on to each other
0:11:37 > 0:11:40once you've thrown each other about.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And I don't think it's begin. I think it's time out.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45If you're wrong, you're not in the final.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And you have got it wrong. It's begin.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Break apart you may be right on.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55But time out is wrong, Chris. Your answer was wrong.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57So well done, Ashley.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01You've just pulled past him, gently and slowly, in the sporting round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06You'll be in the final, Chris won't be.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Please, both of you, come back to your teams.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So the challengers have lost one brain
0:12:12 > 0:12:16and the Eggheads have also lost one brain from that final round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Next subject is geography.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Someone wrote to us and said it's pronounced gee-ography.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23So it's gee-ography.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Who wants to play gee-ography?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28THEY CONFER
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Tom, Nick or Marco?- I think it'll be Tom.- Me? Do I have to?- Yeah.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Tom's going to do it. - Now choose one of them.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- CJ.- OK, CJ.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42We'll have a stab at CJ.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47OK, Tom from the Poker Saints against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Tom, what do you do? - I'm an investment banker.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Investment banking? We don't want to sound cynical. How's it going?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03It's tough, but the plan at the moment...
0:13:03 > 0:13:06We're calling it a Darwinistic environment.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09It'll be survival of the fittest and strongest banks,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11so we're optimistic where I am.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- You're feeling hopeful about the future?- I am.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I think it'll be at least another year of downturn and tough times,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20but it's always cyclical so we'll always come back.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24The investment bankers will be back. We've heard it here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I'll ask you each three questions on geography. Tom, the first or second set?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30We've all agreed we'll go first.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Good luck.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The Great Victoria Desert is a feature of which country?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I've not heard of it myself, and I've been to all three countries,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49which is a pity.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53For a desert, I'm thinking Australia is probably the driest,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55so I'll go Australia.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58You're right. Australia is right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01CJ, how are you today?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03All the better for seeing you, Jeremy.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Lovely T-shirt. - Lovely teeth as well.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Which city would you be visiting
0:14:10 > 0:14:14if you landed at Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Airport?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I sincerely hope - as he was born there - Salzburg.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Mozart was born there, and it is Salzburg Airport. You're right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- They didn't mess about with the naming of that!- No, sir.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Tom.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37In which US city is the fashionable district of Nob Hill located?
0:14:43 > 0:14:49I've no idea on fashion, I've no idea on American cities.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Fashionable sounds more West Coast,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55so I'm going to completely guess it's San Francisco.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Phil?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You never know where you are with Tom.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Phil, tell him whether he's right. - He's right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Have you been there?- Yes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Is that the one with the curvy, windy road?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's near there but... yeah, it's quite steep.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Tom, you're right. Nob Hill. Correct.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Poker players having a good time here.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20CJ.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Give us your deadpan expression.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- This is it.- I thought it might be.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28The Luas is the name of the tram system
0:15:28 > 0:15:30in which European capital city?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Spell it, please.- L-U-A-S.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39L-U-A-S?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42HE WHISPERS Oh, dear.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I've been to Berlin and Tallinn. I haven't been to Dublin.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50I'm not going for Berlin - if it is that, I'll be rather annoyed.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I've never heard it in Berlin. I lived there for a year.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I don't know it, but I'll plump for Dublin.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I should ask Chris, because you love your trains.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Yeah. Well, Daphne and Kevin think it's the DART,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but the DART is the rapid transit system on the 5'3" gauge,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08the state railway.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The Luas is a new system that's been built in Dublin
0:16:11 > 0:16:15on standard gauge, 4'8½", so it is Dublin.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Did you know all that, CJ? - Of course!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You just didn't want to tell us.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Dublin is the right answer.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25So two points each.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Tom, back to you, our poker-playing investment banker.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Mount Snezka is the highest point of which country?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I was hoping you'd give me just one Eastern European country
0:16:41 > 0:16:43so I could go on the sound of it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Again, I just do not know.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49I've even got Polish family, so I really hope it's not that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm going to go with Slovakia,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56simply because it's probably got more mountains than Czech.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Good thinking, but Czech Republic is the right answer.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05But you won't have annoyed your Polish relatives, don't worry.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07CJ, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Which Sri Lankan city boasts a World Heritage Site
0:17:11 > 0:17:14consisting of the Old Town and its Fortifications?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Galle is ringing a bell
0:17:21 > 0:17:24for World Heritage,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and the other two aren't.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31A small bell is ringing that Galle has to do with World Heritage,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33so Galle.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It is the right answer, CJ.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39The small bell served you very well there. Well done, CJ.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Tom, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43so you won't be in the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51So the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52the Eggheads only one.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Our last subject is politics.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Do you have a chosen person here?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Nick or Marco. - I think it'll have to be me.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03OK. Nick, a vet, against...?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Daphne, please.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Nick from the Poker Saints against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Please take your positions.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Three questions. The subject is politics. First or second set?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'll go first again, please.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25What is the name of the seats where an MP or a member of the Lords sits
0:18:25 > 0:18:32if he or she is neither a minister nor a spokesperson for their party?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41The ministers would sit on the frontbenches.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46I don't know if middlebenches is even a term,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48but I'm going to go with backbenches.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Backbenches is the right answer.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Daphne, Tzipi Livni,
0:18:56 > 0:19:01spelt T-Z-I-P-I and then L-I-V-N-I,
0:19:01 > 0:19:06contested a general election in which country in 2009?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14She... It was Israel.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I think her party won,
0:19:16 > 0:19:21but they couldn't get enough support from the opposition.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Israel is the right answer.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Nick, your question.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30For what does the letter S stand in the abbreviation ECSC,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34the group established in 1952 by six countries in Western Europe
0:19:34 > 0:19:39and the first economic institution of what was later to become the European Union?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50This is 50-50 as far as I'm concerned, but...
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm going to go for Security.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55This is a really interesting one. Eggheads?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58European Coal and Steel Community.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Steel is the answer.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It started just on a coal and steel ticket.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06So, Daphne, your chance to pull clear.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Which prominent Labour Party figure is a former postman?
0:20:16 > 0:20:22I think that's Alan Johnson. I think he was one of the...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yeah, it is Alan Johnson.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27He was a union leader for them.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Alan Johnson is the right answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32He was.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Nick, you need to get this one right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40In 2007, Robert B Zoellick became president of which organisation?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Banks have been in the news a bit recently.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I can't say that I've actually heard his name crop up, though.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I'll be honest, I haven't even heard of NAFTA.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let's go for World Trade Organisation.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08That's the wrong answer. It's actually the World Bank.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14So, Daphne, you've taken the round and you're through to the final.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Nick, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Now, the final round. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27As always, it's general knowledge.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:30 > 0:21:32can't take part in this round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So, Phil, Tom and Nick from the Poker Saints
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41please leave the studio.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46So, Marco and Ashley, here we are. Well done. You're in the final.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50You're playing to win the Poker Saints £24,000 -
0:21:50 > 0:21:52a lot of money on the card table.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Barry,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58you're playing for something money can't buy: the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You are allowed to confer.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10So, Poker Saints, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first again.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It is a whopping jackpot we've got now, so good luck.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24According to the famous phrase derived from a poem by William Congreve,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27"Hell has no fury like a woman..." what?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34THEY CONFER
0:22:34 > 0:22:38We've all suffered there, so we're going down the middle. Scorn'd.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Oh, shame!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Scorn'd is the right answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Eggheads, your question.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Who won the Best Actress Oscar at the Academy Awards ceremony
0:22:47 > 0:22:50in February 2009?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I think that might be Kate Winslet.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I think so.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It was Kate Winslet for The Reader.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Kate Winslet is the correct answer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Was it where she did the embarrassing speech?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13That was the Golden Globes, at the previous awards.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15At the Oscars, she did a much straighter speech.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19That was the one about holding the shampoo bottle, when she was eight.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And before that, she was a quiz question,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25on the number of times nominated.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I also think she was the youngest person
0:23:28 > 0:23:31to have that number of nominations and never won.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Luckily, they can't score a point for any of that.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Your question, Poker Saints.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Of what is hoplology the study?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Can you spell the first part of it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53H-O-P-L-O-L-O-G-Y.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57THEY CONFER
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'd rule out weapons and armour.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Weapons and armour is ruled out, is it? Cos I was leaning that way.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Of course you would be. - Let's have a think.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- I would be inclined to go towards weeds.- Are you going for weeds?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13That's what I'd be inclined to go for.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- OK.- I'm not 100%.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19We're going to gamble on weeds.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Gambling? You're not sure?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23No.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25What led you to weeds?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Ashley.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's your fault!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- The answer is not weeds.- Aw! - It's weapons and armour.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I was leaning towards that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Hoplology.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- What's the root of that? - The ancient soldiers, the hoplites.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Foot soldiers.- Of course.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Eggheads.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Who would be most likely to wear a gremial?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- G-R-E-M-I-A-L?- Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I've got no idea here.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I thought clerical garb.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It sounds like one of those.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Shall we...? - I'll abstain, cos I don't know.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10A doctor doesn't really wear anything apart from...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- And there are so many words for... - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And before the options came up,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- I thought it was a clerical garment.- OK.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21We don't really know it,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25but it sounds like one of the many ecclesiastical garments there are,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27so we're going to go for bishop.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yes, you're right. Bishop is correct.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33So, Poker Saints, you're one point behind.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36£24,000 to play for.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40If you get this one wrong, it's over.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Which play is based on the true story of George Archer-Shee,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48a cadet at the Royal Naval College, Osborne,
0:25:48 > 0:25:54who was accused of stealing a postal order from a fellow cadet?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Any ideas?- I'll give you the question again if you want.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07It might help. Give it a go.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Which play is based on the true story of George Archer-Shee,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14a cadet at the Royal Naval College, Osborne,
0:26:14 > 0:26:20who was accused of stealing a postal order from a fellow cadet?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- He's a cadet.- The Winslow Boy is sticking out a bit, isn't it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- But have they just put that one in to shake us up?- They might have.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35Shall we plump for The Winslow Boy? Can't keep going down the middle.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36It would've worked for weapons.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- I won't mention it again.- OK.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42We'll go for The Winslow Boy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48Knowing that if you get this wrong, it's over and the money's gone?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Although, as poker players, you're used to that concept.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The Winslow Boy is the right answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I think I was in that at school.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Your question, Eggheads.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Get this right and you've won,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05and the £24,000 rolls over and goes away.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Which word, from the Spanish for "branch",
0:27:08 > 0:27:11is used in the southwestern United States
0:27:11 > 0:27:15to describe a shelter, usually with open sides?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23THEY CONFER
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Laguna is water.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- A mesa is a flat-topped hill.- Yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32A laguna is a body of water.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34And a ramada...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I was thinking back to Westerns.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41A ramada is something that is used for keeping horses in.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- And there is a Ramada chain of hotels. Shelter.- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48We're going to go for ramada.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Ramada is your answer?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Not laguna?- No.- No.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Think they got it right?- Yeah.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00When they all look certain, it's so annoying.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04The Italian for "branch" is ramo, so there's going to be a link.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Ramada is correct. Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Is there a poker equivalent to that?
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- Well beaten?- It's just the feeling it was there, and then it's gone.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Yeah, well. - Oh, well. Commiserations.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The Eggheads' winning streak continues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £24,000. Sorry, guys.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, very well done again. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:41have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44£25,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Till then, goodbye.
