0:00:03 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Challenging our quiz Goliaths today are the Mixers and Shakers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This team all work for the same chemical company
0:00:44 > 0:00:50where they work mainly on the development and mixing of new paint colours. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Gary, I'm 44 and I'm a colour delivery scientist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Ian, I'm 43 and I'm an IT manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Alban, I'm 47 and I'm a scientist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Martin, I'm 42 and I'm a project manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Yann, I'm 31 and I'm a scientist.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Welcome, Mixers and Shakers. Welcome, Gary.- Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18You are working, mixing, shaking, doing new colours, making paint?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Yes, we watch paint dry for a living.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We're always fascinated by the different colours in a sample shop.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- You can't believe how many shades of green there are. 200? - A lot more than that.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- How many greens?- There's over 10,000 on our system.- 10,000 greens?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37No, 10,000 colours.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43- Who makes up all the names?- Not us. We're on the technical side. We leave that to the marketing people.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- So somebody will say "fuchsia valley"?- They spend a long time
0:01:47 > 0:01:52and lots of focus groups and marketing sessions to find names.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Do you sometimes nudge the machine by accident and invent a new colour? Has that ever happened?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02We like to think there's a bit more science behind it, Jeremy.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Judith, you're in search of a colour, I gather?- Yes, I am.
0:02:06 > 0:02:13It's a particular colour which is already on the wall of my flat which I like and I cannot find it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19- Don't you have to press a machine to her wall and it just reads it? - We do have those, yes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- I'll scrape some off.- We can find the colour.- I'll send you some and see if you can match it.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Don't have a household accident, Judith.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32That sounds very dangerous, scraping paint off your wall, for you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Every day, £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44So, Mixers and Shakers, the Eggheads have won the last 30 games.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48That means £31,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:49 > 0:02:55- Would you like to try?- Yeah.- Yeah. - The first head-to-head battle is on Film & Television.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Who wants to play this category
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and which Egghead will you take on?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- That was me, wasn't it?- That's you, Gary, I think.- That will be me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Against...?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I think I'd like to take on CJ, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Gary from Mixers and Shakers against CJ from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Film & Television in turn.
0:03:22 > 0:03:29- Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner. Gary, the first or second set?- I'll go first.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Here's your first question, Gary.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Mr Snuffleupagus is a character in which children's TV series?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I don't have any children, so that doesn't help me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I believe it's not Blue Peter. I used to watch that when I was a kid.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56For some reason, I'm drawn towards The Tweenies.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I think it was a dog in The Tweenies, so I'll say The Tweenies.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It wasn't in The Tweenies, actually.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I do have young children and I can't place him in The Tweenies.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- It was in, Eggheads...? - Sesame Street.- Sesame Street.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Doodles is the dog... - In The Tweenies?- Yes.- Doodles.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Fizz, Bella and all that and Doodles.- Yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Snuffleupagus is a big mammoth. - Snuffleupagus?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Is a mammoth.- A mammoth?- Mm-hm.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Thanks, CJ. Your question.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Who played the title role in the 2004 re-make of the 1966 Michael Caine film, Alfie?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Michael Caine says it's a compliment to have so many of his films re-made.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48There is another viewpoint to that, of course, but Alfie was Jude Law.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Alfie was Jude Law. You're correct, CJ. You're ahead.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Back to you, Gary.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Which actress received Oscar nominations for her performances
0:04:59 > 0:05:03in the films You Can Count On Me, Kinsey and The Savages?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10No, that rings no bells at all, I'm afraid.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I don't think it was Helen Hunt
0:05:13 > 0:05:17because I think she's actually won some Oscars,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20so I'm going to go with Anne Archer, please.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Anne Archer is wrong.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Helen Hunt was wrong as well. Laura Linney is the correct answer.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29CJ...
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Who played Uncle Fester in the original 1960s TV sitcom, The Addams Family?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I wouldn't have got this without the options.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Fred Gwynne was Herman Munster.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Jackie Coogan...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Was he in it? I don't know.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I don't think I'm being waylaid by Jackie Coogan. Peter Boyle.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00If you're right, you've taken the round.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- The answer was Jackie Coogan. - It was?- There we go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07CJ's tripped up on Film & TV.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- You have a chance to draw level. - Maybe I can get a question right. - Give it a go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Which actress played the First Lady in the film Mars Attacks
0:06:16 > 0:06:21and the Vice-President in the film Air Force One?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Maybe I won't get a question right, Jeremy.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I don't believe it was Glenn Close.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What was the first film again?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Which actress played the First Lady in Mars Attacks
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and the Vice-President in Air Force One?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49No, that was Glenn Close. I'm going to say Glenn Close, Jeremy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Ah, what happened there? You've suddenly just remembered something.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- I suddenly remembered her from Air Force One.- Glenn Close is correct.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Great stuff, Gary.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08CJ, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Which French film director's wives included Brigitte Bardot and Jane Fonda?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Roger Vadim.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Roger Vadim... You sound quite sure.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- I hope so.- He got around a bit. - More than me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Mr Vadim, it was. Well done, CJ. You're in the final round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Sorry, Gary. A couple of stinkers on Film & TV there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Gary won't be in the final round and CJ will.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52The challengers have lost one brain from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The next subject is Science,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56which includes paint!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Which challenger wants this one?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Which one doesn't want it?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- OK, that'll be me then. - Yann, that's you.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Which Egghead is not a scientist?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Gary, what...?- Who do you want?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Daphne? - OK, we'll try Daphne then, please.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20So it's Yann from the Mixers and Shakers versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Lots of science for you lately. - I know. And not very successfully.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31Don't believe her. To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- I'll ask each of you three questions on Science in turn. Yann, the first or second set?- I'll go first.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Good luck.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The short-tailed weasel is an alternative name for which mammal?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Right, it's, um...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'm not sure at all.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I don't think it's the otter.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It's between the other two. I'll go for stoat.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05You're doing well. Stoat is correct.
0:09:07 > 0:09:14They're obscure nouns. Daphne, in the Periodic Table, helium is classified as what type of element?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Well, as I said, I never did any chemistry
0:09:24 > 0:09:28or learnt the Periodic Table.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Helium is a gas, so noble gas.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Noble gas is the right answer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Thank God for that!
0:09:38 > 0:09:45Yann, what nationality was Robert Bunsen, after whom the commonly used laboratory burner is named?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56It doesn't sound Italian, so I'll rule that out,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59but I think... I think it's German.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04German is correct.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12OK, Daphne, the cockatiel parrot is native to which country?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Um... Gosh!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The cockatiel.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'm going to guess at Australia.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Barry looks excited.- Does he? - Yeah, you're right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Australia is correct.- Oh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:49Yann, which planet was studied by NASA's Magellan Project which ran from 1989 to 1994?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think...
0:10:59 > 0:11:04I think it's Mars, but I'm not 100% sure on this one at all.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I think... I'll go for Mars.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You're going for Mars.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Do your team-mates know?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- I would have gone for Mars too. - They're wrong, you're wrong.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's Venus.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, Daphne...
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Who became Astronomer Royal in 1995?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Well, the only name I recognise is Martin Rees,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44so Martin Rees it is. I haven't heard of the other two.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48If you've got this right, you are in the final round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53The Astronomer Royal from 1995 was Martin Rees.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Thank you.- Well done.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You've actually lost the last three Science.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05- I have.- So you've broken that spell. Yann, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11You won't be able to join your team, the Mixers and Shakers, in the final round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20The challengers have lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost none.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Our next subject is Geography,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- or "Gee-ography" as we've been told to pronounce it.- That's me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Ian on Geography against which Egghead? Chris, Barry, Judith?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'll try Barry.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40So, Ian from Mixers and Shakers against Barry from the Eggheads, please take your positions.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46- Three questions on Geography. Ian, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll take the second set.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Barry, here we go. Annapurna is the name of a series of peaks in which mountain range?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's a very high mountain indeed in the Himalayas.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Himalayas is the right answer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Ian, which desert is bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13on the north by the Atlas Mountains and Mediterranean Sea
0:13:13 > 0:13:16and on the east by the Red Sea?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've actually been to the Sahara Desert in Morocco,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27so the answer is Sahara.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Sahara is the right answer.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39- When you say you've been to it, did you get into the middle of it, did you see it go on for ever?- Yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:47I've been to the sand sea which is in the south of Morocco and all you can see is dunes. A quite amazing place.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Barry, what is the capital of the German state of Saxony?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Saxony, I think... Yes, it's Dresden.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Dresden is correct. Well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06The River Lee flows through which Irish city?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11The River Lee...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17For some reason, I don't think it's Cork.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21But I'm not sure if it's Limerick or Waterford.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26The answer that's jumping out of me is Waterford,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28so I'm going to go for Waterford.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- I wonder if that's the word "water" that's suggesting that?- Maybe.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38You ruled out Cork and Cork was the correct answer.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Barry, your third question.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46If you get this right, you've got the round. Which sea was known in antiquity as the Euxine Sea?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Well, the Mediterranean Sea was known to the Romans as Terra...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Mare Nostrum because they called it "our sea".
0:14:59 > 0:15:04The Euxine Sea I'm pretty certain was the...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06The Black Sea, yes, the Black Sea.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Why was it called "Euxine"? - It's very deep
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and the water is very murky.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19And I'm hoping that "Euxine" is some Latin word for "dark" or "murky".
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I'm not sure, but I know that's why it's called the Black Sea,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- so I'm assuming that's a straight translation.- Black Sea is correct.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Where does "Euxine" come from?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Well, it sort of means "pleasant, nice..."
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Are you saying "gloomy and dark"?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- No.- Do you make it up as you go along, Barry?
0:15:39 > 0:15:45- Isn't it "gloomy and dark"? - No, Daphne says it means "pleasant and nice".
0:15:46 > 0:15:49That's the effect of the 20th century then.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54That means you've taken the round, Barry. There's no way back for you, Ian.
0:15:54 > 0:16:01You won't be joining the Mixers and Shakers for the final. Barry will be with the Eggheads in the final.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So the challengers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- How are we feeling? - Not good, Jeremy.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's been done before with two or even one. You're still in it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The Eggheads have lost none. The last subject is Sport.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's got to be Martin or Alban.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- That's me.- OK, Alban against... Who's this now?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31It's got to be Judith or Chris who both love Sport(!)
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Chris, please.- How many in a row, is it, Chris, for you and Sport?
0:16:36 > 0:16:42I have lost count, not that I ever started counting in the first place, but it's too many.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Alban from the Mixers and Shakers versus Chris from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Please go to the question rooms now.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53So, Alban, what do you do with the paint firm?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I work in the area where, when you go into the store,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00if the paint is on the shelf and you want to pick the colour
0:17:00 > 0:17:03or if you want it from a machine,
0:17:03 > 0:17:08the stuff that makes it green or brown or blue, I deal with that, the liquid colorant.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14- I thought that was paint.- You've got the paint itself, then the additives that make it a different colour.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- That's the really highly concentrated stuff?- That's right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- And more interesting than all of that, you have just become a grandfather?- That's right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28So take us off paint and take us to your granddaughter.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Her name is Billie-Louise and she's gorgeous.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37- She's the best grandchild in the world.- Wonderful. OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- I'm a very proud grandad. - Let's see how you do on Sport.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- Three questions in turn and, Alban, you choose the first or second set. - I'll go first.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Here we go.
0:17:49 > 0:17:57Win it for Billie. Tony Jeffries won a medal for Britain in which sport at the 2008 Olympic Games?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Tony Jeffries...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I don't think it was diving.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12The name doesn't ring a bell with athletics.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I think it was boxing.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'll go for boxing.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I'm glad you did. It's correct. Well done.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29You're not doing so badly on Sport, Chris. You've played two and won two the last two games.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Louis Saha played football for which country?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Thierry Henry is French, so presumably he played for France.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- The other two must have done as well, so it's France.- France is right.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Back to you, Alban.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54Which of golf's four Grand Slam tournaments is the first to be played in the calendar year?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh, good one.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12I think the US Masters is last.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I think the British Open is middle of the year.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think it's the US Open.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Actually, it's the one you ruled out first, the US Masters.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- When is that played, Eggs?- Fairly early, about May time?- May-ish.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- The azaleas are out.- We think it's about May, Alban. Sorry.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Chris, your chance to take the lead.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41In which athletics event did the Romanian Doina Melinte win gold
0:19:41 > 0:19:45at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55It's going to have to be a pure guess, Jeremy.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57The name rings no bells whatever,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01so it's probably something slightly eccentric like pole vault,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03so I'll say pole vault.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Looking at the question myself,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I thought the only way we would know this
0:20:09 > 0:20:13is if there was something odd about the event like the pole snapped
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- or she got stuck in a hoarding or something.- Hmm.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- But no, it's the straightforward 800 metres.- Is it indeed?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24OK, Alban...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You need this question.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33Which team beat England 16-3 in the quarter-final of the 1987 Rugby Union World Cup?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43I have... I can't remember this.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47But it's Wales or Scotland. I'm torn between Wales and Scotland.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Wales, please, Jeremy.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Wales it is.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Wales is correct.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Playing well. When you're not sure, you're getting it right. That's very important.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12Chris, with which tennis player did Steffi Graf win the Wimbledon ladies' doubles title in 1988?
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Zvereva's Russian and they've only come to the fore quite recently.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I don't think it was Jana Novotna.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32I think it must have been Gabriela Sabatini who was around at that time.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If you get this right, Chris, we go to sudden death.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I'll ask CJ cos I know you want to be asked. Is it Sabatini?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- I would have gone for Jana Novotna. - Would you?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- But you know everything about tennis.- Certainly not.- You're wrong.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Chris, well done. Gabriela Sabatini is correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56The scores are level after three questions.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02We go from multiple choice to sudden death, so no alternatives here. You have to give me the answer.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Between 1936 and 1951,
0:22:04 > 0:22:11the legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio won nine World Series titles with which team?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18I'm going to say... the New York Yankees?
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- Team-mates, do you like that? - I like that.- You're right. Well done. New York Yankees.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35Chris, get this wrong, you're not in the final, which will shore up the paintmen a bit.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Which New Zealand rugby union team won the 2008 Super 14 final?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I have not a clue, Jeremy. Waikikamukau Rovers.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- That wouldn't be a guess, by any chance?- It would.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53The answer is the Crusaders.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56So, well done, Alban.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02You've beaten Chris on Sport which will put him in a filthy mood. That's an advantage as well.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08You will be playing in the final round. Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17But those of you who lost your head-to-heads cannot take part.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Gary, Ian and Yann from the Mixers and Shakers and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Alban and Martin, the comeback has happened at the right moment.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33You're playing to win the Mixers and Shakers £31,000.
0:23:33 > 0:23:40CJ, Daphne, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:40 > 0:23:47I'll ask each team three questions in turn on General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53So, Mixers and Shakers, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Mixers and Shakers, first or second? - First, please.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Good luck.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03What does the Latin phrase "vivat regina" mean?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10"Regina" is the Queen, isn't it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Yeah. "Long live the Queen." - "Long live the Queen."
0:24:14 > 0:24:18"Long live the Queen" is the correct answer. Well done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22"Live and let die" is not correct.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Eggheads, which creatures are described as "educated"
0:24:26 > 0:24:31in the lyrics to Cole Porter's song Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Educated fleas.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- It's "educated fleas". - It is "educated fleas". Correct.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Over to you,
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Alban and Martin, the Mixers and Shakers, playing for £31,000.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Which region is located at the toe of the so-called boot of Italy?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Tuscany is in the middle.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Campania sounds northern to me.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Shall we try the one in the middle? - Yeah.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11We'll try the one in the middle. Calabria, please.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You're trying Calabria...
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- Which is the most northern of those three?- Tuscany.- Tuscany.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Then the next most northern? - Campania.- Campania. So, well done.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Calabria is correct. Two out of two so far.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Eggheads...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31What was the name of the Queen Consort of King Edward VII?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It was Alexandra of Denmark.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- You think she was Alexandra of Denmark?- Yes.- You sounded certain.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Funnily enough, I'm reading a lovely book called Mr American
0:25:51 > 0:25:55which is one of the Flashman author's books
0:25:55 > 0:25:58about the Edwardian times,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02so she's just appeared in it as being very, very deaf.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Alexandra is correct. Well done. So, 2-2.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Now, this is the one.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14If you get this one right, you have to then hope they get a stinker and they just hand you the money.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Good, good. - Just don't get it wrong.
0:26:17 > 0:26:24In Greek mythology, Achilles was the son of the King of which people?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Achilles...
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- It wouldn't be a question about his heel or something easy.- No, no.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Is he a Spartan?- A Spartan...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Which one have you ruled out?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- None of them.- None of them. They're all ruled in.- OK...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Spartans? - Are we going to go for Spartans?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Spartans, I think.- OK.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01We'll blame you if it's wrong. Don't worry!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04We'd like to go for Spartans, please.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I think you guys know. You know this stuff.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Myrmidons.- Myrmidons. It's your meat and drink, mythology.- Yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Greek, Roman, Norse, you name it, we love it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17The consolation is they knew it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Even if you'd taken the second question, they would've known this,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26but if the Eggheads get this right, the money is swept away.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29If they get it wrong, we go to sudden death.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Eggheads, which actress married Al Jolson in 1928?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's not Bebe Daniels.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I know Ruby Keeler married Al Jolson.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- That's immediately what I said. - It's Ruby Keeler then?- Yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- You know that as well. - Barry is absolutely convinced
0:27:51 > 0:27:54that Ruby Keeler married Al Jolson.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57If you get this wrong, we go to sudden death
0:27:57 > 0:28:00and, as you know, anything can happen.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04If you've got it right, the £31,000 is snatched away.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09The correct answer is Ruby Keeler.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Commiserations, challengers. You pulled them close.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25The Eggheads' winning streak continues. It's a pain when there's so much at stake.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £31,000. That money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£32,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
