0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz
0:00:13 > 0:00:15team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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
0:00:32 > 0:00:34toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And challenging our resident quiz goliaths today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Owenians from Hertfordshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Now this team are all
0:00:41 > 0:00:45teachers at Dame Alice Owen's School in Potters Bar
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and take their name from their rousing school song,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Strive To The Will, Owenians. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Gavin. I'm 35 and I teach business and economics.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Sophie. I'm 26 and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 49 and I teach languages.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 25 and I'm a physics teacher.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Liam.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- I'm 47 and I teach mathematics. - Welcome, Owenians and welcome, team.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Just remind us how the school came to be.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20Well, it was founded in 1613 by Dame Alice Owen
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and the reason was that when she was a young girl,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25she was then called Alice Wilkes, and
0:01:25 > 0:01:30one day she was milking a cow and an arrow from a passing archer happened
0:01:30 > 0:01:34to fly through the air and very narrowly missed hitting her head.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And because she felt so lucky about this she decided
0:01:37 > 0:01:40that she would, when she could and had the money to do so,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43she would do something good for society and it ended up being
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- the foundation of Dame Alice Owen's School.- How many pupils are there?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- 1,400 or thereabout. - Good luck today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53There's £1,000 worth of cash every day up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:53 > 0:01:58but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03So, Owenians, the Eggheads have won the last 28 games,
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- which means £29,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.- Right.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Are you ready to try?- Certainly are. - Yep!- We'll do our best.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14First head-to-head battle is on Geography.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Where's the geography teacher? - We haven't got one.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20But that's OK. You're going to go for that, Kevin, aren't you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Yeah, I'd like that one.- Kevin.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Yes, I'm going to take... - Against which Egghead?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I've seen of the few of the programmes, I'd like to try Daphne.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, Kevin from the Owenians versus Daphne, laughing madly
0:02:34 > 0:02:37from the Eggheads. Please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, three multiple choice questions on geography in turn.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner, goes through to the final, the other person doesn't.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Kevin, do you want the first or second set?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'd like to take the first set, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Here's your question. Tabasco is a state in which country?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00USA, Canada or Mexico?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08It certainly doesn't sound very Canadian. Canadian's a French-based
0:03:08 > 0:03:12language and the United States is definitely English-speaking.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Tabasco sounds more Mexican, so I'll say Mexico.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Mexico is the right answer.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Daphne, the city of Ghent, which lies at the meeting point of the Lys
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and Scheldt rivers is located in which country?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Is it Austria, Belgium or Germany?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Ghent is in Belgium.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Belgium is the right answer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Second question to you, Kevin.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45In the UK the M20 motorway comes to an end
0:03:45 > 0:03:47at which south east coast town?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Is it Rye, Hastings or Folkestone?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I was hoping Dover was going to come up.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Rye and Hastings are too far west.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So, I think it's going to be Folkestone.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Yes, Folkestone's my answer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Owenians, what do you think?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I think he's right, yeah. We think he's right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Yeah, you're right and he's right, well done.- Yes!- Folkestone.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Here's your question, Daphne. How many stars feature on the national
0:04:18 > 0:04:19flag of New Zealand?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Is it four, seven or 14?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26There are four stars.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Four is the right answer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's a flag question!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Yeah, flag questions are always dangerous, we know that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Kevin, your question.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Which gorge that forms part of the Idaho Oregon State boundary
0:04:41 > 0:04:45has a maximum depth of about 8, 000 feet,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48making it the deepest river gorge in North America?
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Is it Hells Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or Black Canyon?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Oh, dear.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Because I've got two colours there I'm going to go for one
0:05:01 > 0:05:03that isn't a colour and it sounds
0:05:03 > 0:05:06as if it could be something that goes into hell,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- so I think it's going to be Hells Canyon.- Interesting logic.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So you take... You pair them off and you take the odd one out.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's the only... the only help I've got.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I hadn't noticed that pattern before,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21but Hells Canyon is correct. Three out of three.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Really well played. Daphne, if you get this wrong you are gone.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Again!- Porto Novo is the capital of which African country?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Benin, Guinea Bissau or Togo?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Oh, no! I've forgotten.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Porto Novo is the capital of Benin.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Benin is correct.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Well done. You had not forgotten.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That happens a lot.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Three questions each we've had, scores are level,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01we go to sudden death. A bit harder now, Kevin.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04No alternatives, you have to give me the answer.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09The Mardals Falls are a series of cataracts in which country?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Mardals Falls.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It doesn't sound like...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20..a West European language.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Mardals, Mardals.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I'm going to say Norway.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Norway is correct.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Well played, well played.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40Daphne, which German river flows past Stuttgart and Heidelberg before
0:06:40 > 0:06:42joining the Rhine at Mannheim?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Oh, dear.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I think it's bye-bye, Daph.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Think.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59The Moselle.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- The river is called the Neckar.- Oh!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06So it is bye-bye, Daph. I'm sorry, you won't be in the final.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Kevin, well done, first blood to our Owenians.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Do both of you come back to the studio.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16So, as it stands the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18the challengers have lost no brains
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Next subject is Film & Television. Which challenger wants this?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- Who are we going to go for?- Me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Kate.- It's got to be Kate. - We'll go for Kate.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Kate against which Egghead?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- CJ, I think. - CJ. We're going to go for CJ.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Kate from the Owenians versus CJ from the Eggheads,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37please take your positions.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Three questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Kate, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Here's your question. Which actor appeared in the films Risky Business
0:07:53 > 0:07:58and the Colour Of Money? Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis or Tom Cruise?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, I know it straightaway.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04He is one of my least favourite actors, it's Tom Cruise.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Tom Cruise is correct.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15CJ, Michelle Ryan, who played the role of Jaime Sommers in an American
0:08:15 > 0:08:21TV remake of the Bionic Woman starred as Zoe Slater in which soap?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24EastEnders, Coronation Street or Emmerdale?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Thank goodness, I thought you were going to ask me which
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- character she played in EastEnders. - EastEnders is your answer, is it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Yes.- It's the correct answer.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Kate, which comedy duo starred in the title roles of the 1990s
0:08:40 > 0:08:42TV series Jeeves And Wooster?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Hale and Pace, Fry and Laurie or Reeves and Mortimer?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I see you've tried to lead me astray there
0:08:49 > 0:08:52by putting Reeves and Mortimer, because they starred in,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55like, a remake of Randall and Hopkirk,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58but I absolutely love Jeeves And Wooster and it was Fry and Laurie.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well done. Fry and Laurie, you're right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Second one to you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06CJ, who plays Agent Frank Horrigan
0:09:06 > 0:09:08in the 1993 film In The Line Of Fire?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman or Dustin Hoffman?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Yeah, John Malkovich is in it as well, I think. Clint Eastwood.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21That's right, Clint is protecting the President,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23and Malkovich is trying to...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Hurt him.- Hurt him, basically.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Third question to you, Kate.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33In which film does Humphrey Bogart famously say
0:09:33 > 0:09:35"I stick my neck out for nobody"?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Key Largo, The Big Sleep or Casablanca?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, dear.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I haven't seen any of those. My dad will be absolutely
0:09:51 > 0:09:54furious with this because he absolutely loves Humphrey Bogart.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58So, where would he be doing something for someone
0:09:58 > 0:10:02where he wouldn't want to stick his neck out for them?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I'm going to go with the obvious one, Casablanca.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Good choice, Casablanca is correct.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14What was the background, why was he saying that saying that?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16He's an expat American who finds
0:10:16 > 0:10:20himself in a war situation and as a neutral he's keeping his head down.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Then, of course, Ilsa Lund comes back into his life and,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27"In all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she has to walk into mine".
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That's it, that's it. CJ, if you get this wrong
0:10:30 > 0:10:32you're not in the final round.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Which actress did Len Wiseman, director of Die Hard IV,
0:10:36 > 0:10:41marry in 2004 after meeting her on the set of the film Underworld?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Kate Beckinsale, Cate Blanchett or Kate Hudson?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48That question meant nothing to me until the very last word.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50The only one of those three that's in Underworld
0:10:50 > 0:10:53is Kate Beckinsale, so that's my answer.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Kate Beckinsale is correct, CJ, well done.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59So, after three questions, scores were level. We go to sudden death.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Kate, your first question.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Which Carry On film is set in Stodge City and
0:11:05 > 0:11:08features Sid James as the Rumpo Kid?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Oh, I absolutely love Carry On films. It's Carry On Cowboy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It is, well done. Carry On Cowboy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19CJ, which British film production company takes its name from the
0:11:19 > 0:11:24industry term for a temporary name for a film project?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Temporary name for a film project?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You get this wrong you're not in the final.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I think that's very likely because I can't think of this. Erm...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Nothing's coming and I can't even think
0:11:43 > 0:11:45of any company that fits the bill.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- No, nothing.- Nothing?- No.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- You're passing?- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54You'll love this.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Working... Oh, go on, Chris.- Working Title.- The answer's Working Title.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01He didn't get that right, so well played, Kate.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Storming round, my goodness!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Well done, Kate!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Good news for the challengers because Kate will be
0:12:10 > 0:12:13in the final round and please both of you come back to us.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14It's going well for you, Owenians.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Two Eggheads down and that's just two rounds' work.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21You've lost nobody from the final round so far.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24The next subject is Arts & Books. Who wants this?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- That's me.- Sophie.- Yes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And against whom?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Chris maybe? - Chris, please.- Yeah, Chris.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36OK, Sophie from the Owenians versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- So, three questions on Arts & Books. Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Which Nobel Prize-winning playwright died on Christmas Eve 2008 aged 78?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Was it Tom Stoppard, Alan Bennett or Harold Pinter?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Ah, well, fortunately I was awake on Christmas Eve, which perhaps means I
0:13:02 > 0:13:07wasn't going to get any presents, but I do know that it was Harold Pinter.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Harold Pinter is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Chris, what's the name of the eldest Dashwood daughter
0:13:15 > 0:13:17in Jane Austen's novel Sense And Sensibility?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Elinor, Erica or Elspeth?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Ah! Well, it's not Elspeth...
0:13:25 > 0:13:30and I don't think it's Erica, which wasn't a very popular name
0:13:30 > 0:13:32at the time, so I'll go with Elinor.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Well done, Chris. Elinor's the right answer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Back to Sophie.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Who topped Art Review magazine's 2008 list
0:13:42 > 0:13:44of the 100 most powerful people in the art world
0:13:44 > 0:13:50after an auction of his work at Sotheby's raised £111 million?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Is it Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns?
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Well, before those answers came up Damien Hirst did spring to mind,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04because he is probably one of the most famous people
0:14:04 > 0:14:07in the art world, the contemporary art world, I would say.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And I must confess
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I haven't heard of the others, so I'm going to go with Damien Hirst.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Damien Hirst is the right answer, Sophie, well done.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Very surefooted. Chris, over to you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24From Doon With Death is the first novel
0:14:24 > 0:14:28published in 1964 by which British writer?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Pat Barker, Ruth Rendell or Zoe Heller?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38That is the first novel of Ruth Rendell.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Yes, it is.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Ruth Rendell is the correct answer. Sophie,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45who became artistic director
0:14:45 > 0:14:48of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2003?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Was it Terry Hands, Adrian Noble or Michael Boyd?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Now, if it had been a question on one of Shakespeare's plays,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I might have been slightly more confident about my answer.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'm going to go with
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Michael Boyd.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You sound...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- less than certain. - I'm a little tentative, I must admit.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Michael Boyd is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Again, three out of three, what a brilliant team you are.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Chris, which painting long attributed to the Spanish artist
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Francisco de Goya, that has held pride of place at
0:15:25 > 0:15:31Madrid's Prado Museum, was revealed in January 2009 to probably
0:15:31 > 0:15:34have been painted by one of his students?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Colossus, The Naked Maja,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40or The Third Of May 1808?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43That was Colossus.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Colossus is correct. So, after three questions you're level.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We go to sudden death.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Sophie, which American artist was known for his series of portraits of
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Jacqueline Kennedy and other celebrities?
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Well, I'll be honest, art isn't my forte,
0:16:07 > 0:16:13so I'd have to be having a guess.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Was it Andy Warhol?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Yes, it was. Andy Warhol is correct.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31Chris, by what shortened form of his name was Emmanuel Radnitzky,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34the American dada and surrealist artist, more commonly known?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Rudy?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42No, not Rudy, Man Ray.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Chris, you're not in the final. Well done, Sophie. Brilliant work.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52You'll be in the final round and Chris won't. Do rejoin us here.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58The Eggheads have lost three brains from the final round, the challengers still haven't lost any.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02A lot of money we're playing for. The last subject is Sport. Who wants this?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Gavin, against?- No doubt about that. - Who do you want to take on?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Kevin or Judith?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10We're going to go Kevin.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Kevin on Sport, OK. You relieved, Judith?- No!
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I see, you think if Kevin goes out it's just you!
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- I'm appalled.- They're good. They're very, very, very good.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Gavin from the Owenians versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28We see what they're trying to do. Please go to the question room.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Now, this is quite a game with £29,000 to play for.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Three questions on sport. Gavin, the first or second set for you?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'll go for the first set, please.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Here's your first question. Joe Cole and John Terry represented
0:17:43 > 0:17:47which Premiership football team during the 2008 nine season?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, that's an easy one to start off with, so
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm going to go for Chelsea, please.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Chelsea is the correct answer, well done. Over to Kevin.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06For what does the letter B stand in the cricketing abbreviation LBW?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Is it bowler, bye or before?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's Leg Before Wicket.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- So the answer is?- Before.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Before is the right answer, well done. Back to you, Gavin.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22The England World Cup winning rugby union player Mike Tindall plays in which position?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Centre, flanker or hooker?
0:18:26 > 0:18:32Well, I know he's a back, so it's got to be centre.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Centre is the right answer. You're playing... I don't think...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You haven't even got a question wrong so far, this team!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41This is extraordinary.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Kevin, which female player was accused by the All England Club of
0:18:44 > 0:18:49bringing vulgarity and sin into tennis by wearing a short skirt
0:18:49 > 0:18:52at Wimbledon in 1949?
0:18:52 > 0:18:58Was it Alice Marble, Gussie Moran or Suzanne Lenglen?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I think it's about the only thing she's remembered for now,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02as it happens. It's Gussie Moran.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Gussie Moran is right.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Gavin, to you, third question.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Who did the boxer Marvin Hagler defeat in three rounds
0:19:11 > 0:19:16in the 1985 World Middleweight Championship bout dubbed The War?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran or Thomas Hearns?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Well, I know that...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30..he lost to Leonard in a 15 rounder.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34So it's definitely not Leonard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm going to hope it's one of my favourite boxing matches of all time
0:19:40 > 0:19:45which is when he took out Thomas Hearns, so I'm going to go for
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Thomas The Hitman Hearns.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It was Thomas The Hitman Hearns.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well done.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Kevin, over which distance did the Moroccan athlete Hicham El Guerrouj
0:19:58 > 0:20:01win four consecutive World Championship gold medals
0:20:01 > 0:20:03between 1997 and 2003?
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Was it 1,500 metres, 5,000 metres or 10,000 metres?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13He's a middle distance runner, so 1,500 metres.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Is the right answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Three each, again.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Sudden death, again!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Here we go with your question, Gavin.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Which jockey rode Arkle to his three famous victories
0:20:25 > 0:20:27in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the 1960s?
0:20:31 > 0:20:38I'm not a big horse racing fan, which isn't very good.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40So...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I'm going to go Lester Piggott.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Lester Piggott is your answer. Do you know, Kevin?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51No, I'm struggling on this one. I used to know this, but the first
0:20:51 > 0:20:55name that popped into my head was Pat Taaffe, but I'm not sure that's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- It is Pat Taaffe.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Pat Taaffe is right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Gavin, you're not out yet. Kevin, your question.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05What was the full name of the Formula One team known as BAR
0:21:05 > 0:21:08which competed between 1999 and 2005?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, B is British and the R is racing,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm pretty sure of that. It's the A.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Between 1999 and 2005?- Yeah.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23See that recent...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I thought it was going back further and my first thought was "auto",
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but I'm not so sure about that now.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I'm sure CJ knows this, but I think the one that was
0:21:33 > 0:21:37more recent was perhaps British American Racing,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39so I'll say British American Racing.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43This is an amazing contest we've got here.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47It became Honda Racing in 2005.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Eggheads, you are classy, you're starting to pull back now, British American Racing is correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55the Eggheads have got that round and that may be very significant.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Gavin, you pushed so hard to knock out Kevin, but you haven't done it.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06You've been knocked out yourself. You won't be in the final. Please both of you come back to us.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13but I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:13 > 0:22:17aren't allowed to take part in this round, so Gavin from the Owenians and CJ,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Sophie, Kevin, Kate and Liam, you're playing to win the Owenians £29,000.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Judith and Kevin, you are playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- the Eggheads' reputation. Judith, you're thanking your lucky stars you're not...- I am.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- ..on your own there!- I am.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45You are allowed to confer, so Owenians the question is,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We'll go first, shall we?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56First has worked for us so far, so we'll go first, please.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Good luck. You have been a cracking team so far.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Can you take the jackpot?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Who is the director of the celebrated 1948 Italian film
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Bicycle Thieves?
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Is that Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini or Vittorio de Sica?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Right.- What do you think of that?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- I don't do European films. - Oh, right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20- They involve too much effort. - Have you any idea?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25I was going to go the first one, although the second one could
0:23:25 > 0:23:27quite easily be it, as well.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Fellini?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Fellini?- Yeah.- He's the most famous, isn't he, Fellini?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You think? Let's go with Fellini.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Yeah. Because he's the most famous, we're going with Federico Fellini.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Federico Fellini. I would have done that too.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It's wrong, though.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50It's Vittorio de Sica.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52That's a tough question.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56It's only the second question you've got wrong in the whole contest.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59OK, Eggheads, in Greek mythology who
0:23:59 > 0:24:04was the son of Priam, brother of Paris and husband of Andromache?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Was at Ajax, Hector
0:24:07 > 0:24:10or Achilles?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Erm...that was Hector.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15You're right, Hector is correct.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You could have done that on your own, Judith.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I think I might just have done that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Your question.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Challengers, you're still in it, don't...don't get down.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Day And Age was a UK number one album for which band in 2008?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The Killers, Coldplay or Kings Of Leon?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- It was The Killers.- Definitely?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Yeah. It's The Killers. - You're certain about that?- Yes.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And it's right. The Killers is correct, well done.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Back to you in this final round, Eggheads.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47In the mediaeval period what was a scavenger's daughter?
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Agricultural tool, instrument of torture
0:24:52 > 0:24:53or two-wheeled carriage?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You heard of that?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- No.- Yeah, nor have I.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I mean, the obvious one is agricultural, isn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Do you think?- Well, yes.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I mean, it might be a kind of reaping tool
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- after a harvest.- Oh, yes, I hadn't thought about that.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I was thinking, well, the sort of...
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Because of the Baroque names they had for various torture instruments.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yes, the other one I thought of was torture.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Do you think a two-wheeled carriage is very likely?- Not terribly.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- In the mediaeval period? - Not terribly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28The scavenger's daughter.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It just sounds to me as though it's more likely to be...
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Torture?- Yeah, yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- So...- Shall we go for the...? - Torture?- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Let's go for a bit of torture. - Yeah, you've got good instincts.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Well, I don't know.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42We don't know.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46We're going to guess instrument of torture.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I can see the answer here and I was listening
0:25:48 > 0:25:52thinking it was very interesting, because you don't know...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Kevin thinks it's torture and you think it's agriculture
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and it's just a battle here of...
0:25:56 > 0:26:02- Wrong?- Of...of...of who gives way.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Well, I always give way!
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Judith, well done, you gave way and he's right.- He's always right...
0:26:07 > 0:26:11An instrument of torture. Instrument of torture is correct.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15That may be as close as you ever come to winning, but I don't want
0:26:15 > 0:26:17to get you down, but that was a big moment.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Let's see, two more questions. You need to get this one right, OK?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Who was named as the new Metropolitan Police Commissioner
0:26:25 > 0:26:28in January 2009?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Was it Paul Stephenson, Hugh Orde or Paul Scott-Lee?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37It was Paul Stephenson. It was definitely, yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It was Paul Stephenson.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Paul Stephenson is the correct answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46All right, so now we need to hope
0:26:46 > 0:26:49that somewhere in the massive
0:26:49 > 0:26:55computerised whatever of these two brains we get a glitch.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01To continue your winning streak, Eggheads, you need to get this right.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Janet Reno became the first female
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Attorney General of the United States under which President?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Bill Clinton,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13George Bush Senior or Ronald Reagan?
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Bill Clinton.- Bill Clinton. - Yeah.- That is Bill Clinton.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- This is not like the instrument of torture question, is it?- No.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- You actually know?- We're united.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You're united on Bill Clinton.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30If you're right, the game is over.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Are they right?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36They're right. Bill Clinton is the answer.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Sorry.- Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47That is in the nature of it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You only got two questions wrong in the whole game
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and the Fellini one was the stinker.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I can't even remember the right answer, de Sica?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00We'll never forget that now.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Their winning streak continues although, boy, did you give them a fight today.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £29,000,
0:28:10 > 0:28:16which means the money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23£30,000 says they don't.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Until then, goodbye.
