0:00:02 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:07 > 0:00:14Together they make up the Eggheads - arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 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
0:00:26 > 0:00:30challengers attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Challenging them today are the Wykeham Wanderers from Hampshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This team currently topped the Bourne Valley Quiz League
0:00:45 > 0:00:47in Andover. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's John. I'm 45 and I'm an engineer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Chris. I'm 47 and I'm an MoD contractor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Owen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm 47 and I'm an accountant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 64 and I'm a company director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, my name's Nick.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm 37 and I'm a head chef.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Welcome, Wykeham Wanderers. Welcome, John.- Hello.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You are keen quizzers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We are. We play on Tuesday night in a quiz league in Andover.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20I know four of these guys from Andover. One of the guys comes from Whitchurch, as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23All right. So we've got serious competition for you now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yeah? Good luck in this game.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I sense we've got some pros here.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:30 > 0:01:35for our challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40So, Wykeham Wanderers, the Eggheads have won the last 33 games,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43which means £34,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Are you glad you came?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Fantastic!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49That makes this quite a serious quiz.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52First head-to-head battle will be on the subject of food and drink.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Challengers, let's have a think. Who wants this?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I think it's got to be Nick.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Quite possibly Nick. - Go on then, I'll do it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- So, Nick, who do you want to go against?- Kevin. Let's go for Kevin.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Grab the bull by the horns. He's a local lad, so...
0:02:09 > 0:02:14We're going to grab the bull by the horns and go for Kevin.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Nick M from the Wykeham Wanderers versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So, Nick, you know about food.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Um, I should do.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Because you are a...- I'm a chef.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You're a chef. As you said at the start.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Kevin, you're not exactly a chef, are you?- What's the opposite?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on food and drink in turn.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner and goes through to the final.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Nick, your choice. You can have the first or second set of questions.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm going to go second, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Kevin, over to you. A rack of lamb comes from which part of the animal?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06That's a good start, isn't it? Well, it's not tongue. A rack of lamb.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I should know that anyway.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16On the assumption that maybe... ribs could look like a rack,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'll go for ribs.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We're feeling tense for you at this end, Kevin.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Yes, a rack of lamb is from the ribs.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Nick, here's your first question.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31In which type of restaurant it is a bhuna
0:03:31 > 0:03:33most likely to be offered on a menu?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Is it Mexican, Indian or Chinese?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Well, it's one of my favourite eating-out foods.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43It certainly isn't Chinese.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48It certainly isn't Mexican. I'm going to go down the middle for Indian.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Indian is the right answer.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Kevin, over to you. What name is given to the Scottish confectionery
0:03:55 > 0:03:59similar to fudge that is made from sugar, butter, condensed milk
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and often flavoured with vanilla?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Is it...?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10The only one I recognise there as being, I think, a confection,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12is tablet so I shall go for tablet.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Tablet is the right answer, Kevin.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19So, Nick, your question. What is the subject of the
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Japanese tradition called chanoyu?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I can't say I've ever heard of it, to be honest.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38It may be something to do with the tea ceremony.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm not 100% sure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm going to go with tea.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Touch and go there but you've got it right. Tea is correct.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Could be an important answer.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Kevin... Made in the Haute-Savoie department of France,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59abondance is what type of foodstuff?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Trying to think. I think I've heard
0:05:07 > 0:05:10the name somewhere but I can't remember what it is.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13When in doubt,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16say cheese. Cheese.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Cheese is your answer. That is one of the Eggheads' rules.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If it's there, say cheese.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Seriously! And Pacific and antelope.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Cheese is the correct answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37OK, Nick, in Portugal, what type of food is presunto?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Need this to stay in.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Erm, well, the word sounds very similar to the Italian word
0:05:51 > 0:05:56for the same item, so, again
0:05:56 > 0:05:59not 100% sure, but because of the Italian "prosciutto",
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm going to go for ham.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Your knowledge as a chef is helping.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Ham is the right answer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11So you've had three correct answers each. Scores are level.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14We go to sudden death. It's a bit more difficult, because
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I won't give you alternatives.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19So, Kevin, your question - although its young leaves can
0:06:19 > 0:06:24be eaten, the most commonly consumed part of which vegetable is the dark
0:06:24 > 0:06:29red flesh of its globular root?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30It's dark red...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Beetroot.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Beta vulgaris, or beetroot is correct.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Over to you, Nick. The so-called "Hollywood diet"
0:06:45 > 0:06:50devised in the 1930s was based on the theory that which citrus fruit
0:06:50 > 0:06:52contained a special fat-burning enzyme?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I'm going to go for the orange.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's not orange, it's grapefruit, Nick.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06It goes up in your hall of honour, doesn't it, Kevin, this one?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09There aren't that many questions, and they fall as they fall.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13All right. Well, Kevin's won this round, so he'll be in the final. Nick, I'm sorry, you won't be.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Please, both of you, return to the studio.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22The Eggheads are still intact. They've lost no brains.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Next subject is Music.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Which of you wants this?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Erm...
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I think...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- possibly you.- If I go music, then...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Chris against...?- Barry.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Does Barry like music? - Let's give Barry a go.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, we'll give Barry a whirl.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Yeah. I think we'll go against Barry, please.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Chris from the Wykeham Wanderers versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Chris, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I might go second, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Barry, here's your first question.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09In which city was Ludwig van Beethoven born in 1770?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It was Bonn.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Bonn is correct.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Your question, Chris: Strawberry Fields Forever was a 1967 UK hit
0:08:21 > 0:08:22for which group?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Erm, I think I'll probably get this one right, actually.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33It's going to be one of Owen in our team's favourite bands.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's The Beatles.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37The Beatles is correct.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Double A side with...? Anyone?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Penny Lane?- Penny Lane, yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:50Barry, in 1984, Kenny Loggins had a UK top-ten hit single with the theme song from which film?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Er, it wasn't Beverly Hills Cop, and I don't think it was The Terminator.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I think it may have been Footloose.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Footloose is the right answer.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Chris, Ricky Wilson is the lead singer of which British band?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Erm, it's definitely not Scouting for Girls.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I don't think it's Elbow.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29And I quite like the Kaiser Chiefs, so it's Kaiser Chiefs.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Kaiser Chiefs is correct.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Going great guns here. Barry, over to you. Which composer's
0:09:37 > 0:09:441942 score for the ballet Gayane includes the popular Sabre Dance?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That would be Khachaturian.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Khachaturian is the right answer. So, Chris, you need this one.
0:09:54 > 0:10:01Which Rodgers and Hammerstein musical features the song Younger Than Springtime, sung by Joe Cable?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I'm not really quite sure, to be perfectly honest.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12My wife would know it, because she's a great musical fan.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Erm, I'm going to go for South Pacific.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Well done. South Pacific's right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Was there a lot riding on that?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You're still in it. Now we go to sudden death,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and it's that bit harder, because I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Barry, which Abba UK number one hit single contains the line
0:10:37 > 0:10:43"I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Glasgow"?
0:10:43 > 0:10:48# I was sick and tired of everything When I called you last night from Glasgow... #
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I've got to sing the rest of it now in my mind!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54# ..wishing every show was the... #
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Super Trouper!- OK, Super Trouper.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Got there in the end!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02It was a minute in, and you took a minute to find it. All right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Super Trouper is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07So you need this, Chris, or you're out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Jazzy Jeff and which rapper turned actor won the first ever Rap Grammy
0:11:11 > 0:11:14at the 1989 Grammy awards?
0:11:14 > 0:11:19It's going to be... The only one that I can think of is Snoop Dogg.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26I don't know. I'm going to go for Snoop Dogg.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- No, the answer is Will Smith.- Oh!
0:11:29 > 0:11:34So I'm afraid, from your point of view, that's it, not in the final.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Barry is. Chris, you got beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Both of you, please come back, rejoin us here in the studio.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round, whilst the Eggheads
0:11:46 > 0:11:49have lost no brains. The next subject is Science.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Who would like Science?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I think it's got to be John.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Yeah.- It's got to be John.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- John?- OK, it'll be me, yes.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Against...?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03What do you reckon? Daphne?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- OK, take Daphne on. - We're going to be brave.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- We're going to go brave. - Brave?- Take Daphne, please.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Take Daphne. All right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16So John from the Wykeham Wanderers versus Daphne again on science!
0:12:16 > 0:12:22- I know!- Daphne from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24So, three questions on science in turn.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And, John, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I think I'll follow the flow and I'll go second, please.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Daphne, here we go again.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The hard white substance known as limescale that can build up
0:12:39 > 0:12:44on the inside of kettles consists chiefly of which chemical compound?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well, erm,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I think it's calcium carbonate.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58But don't quote me!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Calcium carbonate is correct.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Well done.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07John. The mountain beaver is a burrowing rodent
0:13:07 > 0:13:10found only on which continent?
0:13:14 > 0:13:20I'm not too sure on this, but based on that the Canadian beaver
0:13:20 > 0:13:25is based in Canada and North America, I'll say North America.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26That's the correct answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Over to you, Daphne.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The disease scrapie is particular to which creatures?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39That would be sheep.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Sheep is the right answer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46John, of what is the pascal a unit of measurement?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Well, I don't think it's velocity, nor temperature.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I seem to remember from my A-level days that it's pressure.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Pressure is the right answer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Daphne, third question.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Can be crucial.
0:14:11 > 0:14:17For which bodily function is the masseter muscle primarily used?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's chewing!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Chewing is right.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30So, John, you need to get this one right now or you've been beaten on
0:14:30 > 0:14:32science by Daphne. Here's your question.
0:14:32 > 0:14:40What term refers to a bee who collects pollen from a wide range of flowering plants?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'm just trying to think of
0:14:49 > 0:14:53maybe a Greek or Latin origin here.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Erm...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I would hazard a guess at polypaptic.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Polypaptic is your answer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Eggheads, do you know?- Polylectic?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yeah. He's right. Barry's right.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Polylectic is the answer there.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So, John, Daphne has pipped you on science.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Daphne, you can lose your fear of this category.- Yes.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19You're in the final. John isn't.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Well, John,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26we're still in with a chance.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29We are. Just about. Hanging in there by the skin of our teeth.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Not quite gone to plan. You've lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Eggheads have lost no brains. Next category, last subject, is Sport.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Got to be Owen.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Against CJ? - It's got to be, hasn't it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- I think so.- CJ, please.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Against...?- Against Owen, please.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Owen from the Wykeham Wanderers against CJ from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Owen, three questions on sport
0:16:00 > 0:16:03in turn, and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06For a bit of change of luck, I think I'll go first, please.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16Owen, Wimbledon is the home of the All England Club for lawn tennis and which other sport?
0:16:19 > 0:16:25I know it's not netball, and I don't think it would be crown bowls,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28so I'm going to go for croquet, please.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Croquet is the right answer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37CJ, which British athlete won a bronze medal in the 800 metres
0:16:37 > 0:16:40at the 2000 Olympic Games?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Well, it can't be Paula Radcliffe, and, erm...
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Unless Denise Lewis has switched from heptathlon, I think she did.
0:16:54 > 0:17:01Erm, so I assume it was the lady who later won a gold, Kelly Holmes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Kelly Holmes is the right answer.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Dame Kelly.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Owen, Adam Gilchrist served as vice-captain
0:17:09 > 0:17:11of which international cricket team?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Adam Gilchrist, fantastic player, both a batsman and wicket keeper,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22for Australia.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Australia is the right answer.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Is this the turning point?
0:17:29 > 0:17:34CJ, your question: in which country did the form of cycle racing known
0:17:34 > 0:17:37as Keirin originate?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Not Brazil.
0:17:44 > 0:17:51Erm, OK, the Belgians are well known with Eddy Merckx et al
0:17:51 > 0:17:53for road racing,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and Keirin is an indoor track,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59and it's a Japanese word, so it's Japan.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You don't know that it's a Japanese word, do you?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I'm guessing, Jeremy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Japan is the right answer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Two points each, third question now to you, Owen. The hairpin loop known
0:18:15 > 0:18:19as Druids is a feature of which British motor-racing circuit?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Druids... Erm...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Not sure.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Motor racing's not my strong one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Er... I'm going to go with Brands Hatch.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Don't know how you did it, but Brands Hatch is correct.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Three out of three. That's great for you. Well done.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So, CJ, you've got to get this right or you're not in the final.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54The former Republic of Ireland
0:18:54 > 0:19:00boss Mick McCarthy became manager of which English football team in 2006?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Haven't got the blindest idea.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15No. I don't think I can even link this to anything.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19I'll have to just guess this. Wolves.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20You're right, CJ. Well done.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24It's Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- You've upset our challengers no end. - Thought he might get that one.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32OK, so, amazingly, equal after three questions. We go to sudden death.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Owen, are you ready?- I am.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Which famous horse race takes place on
0:19:37 > 0:19:42the first Saturday in May each year at Churchill Downs in Louisville?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well, I think it could be Louisville,
0:19:46 > 0:19:53Kentucky, so in that case I'm going to go for the Kentucky Derby. Yeah.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Great answer. You've got it. Kentucky Derby.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Great use of logic there. Well done.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05CJ, in which American state is the famous Pebble Beach golf club?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I don't know. I mean, Maine, Maryland and West Virginia for some reason
0:20:13 > 0:20:16have come into my head, but it might not be any of those, so...
0:20:18 > 0:20:26Erm, let's try, I don't know, West Virginia.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29If you've got this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30You have got it wrong.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32California is the answer.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42Now, OK, so game on for you guys, turning it around, maybe.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Owen, well done. You will be in the final. You'll be supporting your team of challengers.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48CJ, you won't be, you've been knocked out.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Please, both of you, rejoin us here in the studio.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Those of you who lost head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:21:01 > 0:21:08So, John, Chris and Nick M from the Wykeham Wanderers and CJ from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:21:09 > 0:21:15Owen and Nick V, you are playing to win the Wykeham Wanderers £34,000.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Barry, Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something which
0:21:18 > 0:21:21money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30You can confer with each other. So, Wykeham Wanderers, the question is,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four brains?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- We'll go first again.- Yeah, go on, then.- We'll go first, please.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46All the best. A lot of money we're playing for here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Lettish is another name for which language?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Lettish?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Any ideas? I don't think it's Latin.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Nope.- And I'd be surprised if it's Lebanese.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Sounds more Latvian, doesn't it? - It sounds more Latvian.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Shall we give it a whirl?- Yeah.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11We're going to go for Latvian, please.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Latvian is your answer, and Latvian is correct.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19And they're quite happy back there!
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Eggheads, your question: what was the first name of the character, played by Mary Crosby,
0:22:24 > 0:22:31who shot JR in the 1980 season finale of the American soap Dallas?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Kristin.- Kristin. Kristin.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Yeah. That was Kristin.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Kristin is the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47One each. Back to you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49£34,000.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55What is the title of Izaak Walton's classic 1653 book subtitled
0:22:55 > 0:22:57The Contemplative Man's Recreation?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Yeah.- I haven't a clue, so it's up to you, Nick. What are you going for?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's the Compleat Angler.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09The Compleat Angler is right.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- Well done!- I sense you've got that on your bookshelf, Nick.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I'm not that old!
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Eggheads, your question: the Camp David agreements of 1978-9
0:23:22 > 0:23:27were a series of accords agreed between which two countries?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Israel and Egypt.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36That was Israel and Egypt.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You're right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Here's the third question. This can be very, very important.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46If you get it wrong, it's in their hands. If you get it right,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48you'll have the joy of thinking that
0:23:48 > 0:23:52if they get theirs wrong, you've got £34,000.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So please get it right.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00For what does the letter C stand in the abbreviation of the
0:24:00 > 0:24:06international organisation of industrialised countries, the OECD?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm pretty sure it's...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- I think it's Council, isn't it? - No, I think it's Co-operation.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25- You don't think it's Common? - I don't think so.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We're not going for Council.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- No.- You think we're going for Co-operation.- I think so.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33We're going to go for Co-operation, please.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It stands of Organisation for
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Economic Co-operation and Development.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Whoa!- You're quite right, Co-operation is the answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Co-operation is the answer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Well done. And we're now at quite a juncture.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Eggheads, if you get this question wrong, they have
0:24:49 > 0:24:52won £34,000, they don't need to do another stroke of work.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Today, anyway.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Which company launched the first ever credit card in New York in 1950?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I thought it was Diners Club.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13That was my first thought as well.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16American Express were involved at
0:25:16 > 0:25:18quite an early stage, but I thought Diners Club.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yes. Shall I go for Diners Club?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Yes. OK.- We're all agreed.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25We're going to go for Diners Club.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Diners Club is the right answer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30So you're back on the hook.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We go to sudden death.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39In a cabaret act, Patrick Fyffe and George Logan played which
0:25:39 > 0:25:43two spinsters, a retired singer and her accompanist, who shared
0:25:43 > 0:25:49a house in the fictional village of Stackton Tressel in Suffolk?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I think this is Hinge and Bracket.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- We're stuck if it's not them!- Yeah.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59So you're Hinge and I'm Bracket.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Go on, then.- Yeah. We're going to go for Hinge and Bracket.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07They were Hinge and Bracket. Well done. Hinge and Bracket.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Sudden death, and you didn't die, that's the main thing.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So they've got to get this one right or you get the money.
0:26:13 > 0:26:19What name was given by World War Two RAF pilots to the imaginary goblins
0:26:19 > 0:26:23that were responsible for everything that went wrong in an aircraft?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Gremlins.- Gremlins.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Gremlins.- Yeah. That was absolutely my first thought.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Positive? OK, that would be gremlins.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Gremlins is the right answer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Your next question:
0:26:41 > 0:26:44what is the name of
0:26:44 > 0:26:51the ancient state of western Italy to which the term "Etruscan" refers?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's almost the same place for Tuscany.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Oh, yeah, Etruscan, Truscan...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- So Tuscany?- Tuscany.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- OK.- Go on, then.- Tuscany.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's not Tuscany.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Eggheads?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Etruria.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13So, now the firepower is trained on our challengers.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Can the Eggheads get this right and end the contest?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Can they sweep away £34,000?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Besides that of Harold, which king's death is depicted
0:27:26 > 0:27:29in the Bayeux Tapestry?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Edward the Confessor. - Edward the Confessor.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Because it starts with Halley's comet, as well, at the time
0:27:35 > 0:27:39of his death, and so there's the oath as to who's going to succeed.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It couldn't be anybody else, could it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43OK.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46That is Edward the Confessor.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Your answer is Edward the Confessor.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53If you've got it right, that's the end of the contest.
0:27:53 > 0:28:00If you have it wrong, we go back to them and the money's still in the balance.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But I'm afraid
0:28:02 > 0:28:04it is Edward the Confessor.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Well done, Eggheads. Congratulations, you've won.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And congratulations to you, because you, having had a bad start,
0:28:15 > 0:28:20came back at them fiercely there, and there's always a chance.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Their winning streak continues.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29So I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £34,000.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32That money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£35,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Till then, goodbye.
