0:00:04 > 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:36You might recognise them, as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:39 > 0:00:41the Transplantees.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The team know one another through the Leicester Transplant Fund -
0:00:45 > 0:00:48each year they raise money for the cause through the Transplant Games.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello. I'm David, I'm 64, and I'm a teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 45, and I'm a press moulder.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Patrick. I'm 69 years old, and I'm a retired engineer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm Dave. I'm 44, and I'm a window cleaner.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hello. I'm Phil. I'm 38, and I'm a machine operator.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Welcome, Transplantees. Thanks for playing Eggheads today.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Just tell me a bit more about all the work you do.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- I know there's an awful shortage of donor organs in this country, isn't there?- Terrible shortage.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Are you trying to raise awareness about that,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28and indeed help people who are waiting for transplants?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33The Transplant Fund was set up to encourage people who have had transplants
0:01:33 > 0:01:34to go to the Transplant Games.
0:01:34 > 0:01:41The Transplant Games itself, the idea of that is to show that people with transplants
0:01:41 > 0:01:45can carry on with a normal life - we haven't got two heads,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50and that it also raises the awareness of transplantation,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55and to encourage people to donate their organs, so that people can have a normal life.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- Carry that donor card. - Absolutely, yes. - Let's play the game, Transplantees,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01and see if you can win some money.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14So, Transplantees, the Eggheads have won the last 25 games,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which means £26,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19THEY LAUGH
0:02:19 > 0:02:24The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of film and television.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Who'd like to play this? Film and TV.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- You wanna go, Phil? - You wanna go, mate?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Yeah.- Yeah, I reckon Phil. Who are you taking on?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Er, Judith, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- OK, you want to play Judith on Film And Television?- Yes, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Let's have Phil and Judith into the question room, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And, Phil, would you like to go first or second in this category, Films And Television?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Er, first, please.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Best of luck, Phil.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here's your question.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Craig Revel Horwood is a judge on which TV talent show?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Oh...it's... I don't think it's Britain's Got Talent.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'd go with Strictly Come Dancing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Strictly Come Dancing. Craig Revel Horwood.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's the right answer. Well done.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Craig Revel Horwood.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Occasionally acid-tongued.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20He says he speaks as he sees.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22OK, Judith,
0:03:22 > 0:03:28which dog was written out of EastEnders in August 2008 after fourteen years on the show?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Well, there was a dog called Wellard, a huge great sort of hairy thing.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Um, so I think it must be Wellard.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It is. Well done, Judith.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Yes, spotted his disappearance. So it's one each.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Back to you, Phil.
0:03:49 > 0:03:55In August 2008, Helen Skelton was unveiled as a new presenter of which TV show?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Right, erm...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's definitely not Loose Women.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10So it's a toss-up between Soccer AM, Blue Peter...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'll have to go with Blue Peter.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You've worked it out. It's the right answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Helen Skelton, new Blue Peter presenter,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20unveiled in this summer of 2008. So, Judith,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24"Invisible. Silent. Stolen,"
0:04:24 > 0:04:27is the tag line to which 1990 Sean Connery film?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I'm just trying to think if Red October was stolen.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Red October was the submarine, wasn't it?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Erm, it was invisible, and...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44it's silent, because it's under the sea.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- I think I'm going to go for Red October, The Hunt for.- OK.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- The Hunt for Red October.- Yeah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's right. Hunt for Red October is correct.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Two all. OK.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Well, both going well.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Phil, see if you can get this, and it might win you the round.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06A Bout de Souffle and Week-end are works by which French film director?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15No, I haven't got a clue on this one,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19so I'm gonna have to go for...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Jean...Renoir.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Down the middle.- Yeah.- Jean Renoir.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32A Bout de Souffle and Week-end are works by which film director?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I thought you would give me the right answer.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's not Jean Renoir, it's Jean-Luc Godard.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So there, a slip on the third question.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Judith could be straight in. If she gets this, she gets the round.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Peter O'Toole's Oscar nomination for the 2006 film Venus
0:05:48 > 0:05:52brought his total Best Actor Oscar nominations to how many?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I don't think he's had that many. I mean, I don't think he's had eight.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02I think it's probably four.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Four? OK, four Oscar nominations, including Venus, for Peter O'Toole.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- No.- Six?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- No.- Eight?! LAUGHTER
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- It is eight.- I'm amazed.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's all square. Good news for you, Phil.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Judith got that wrong, so we go to sudden death, which means we take away those multiple choices.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25So can you just tell me straight, Approaching Menace
0:06:25 > 0:06:30is the title of the theme tune to which long-running TV show?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's not the real name for the EastEnders theme, is it, or something like that?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Is that your answer, Phil?- Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- EastEnders. - Approaching Menace. Yeah...
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Feels like it!- Talking about the Mitchell brothers, yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I can see that as their theme.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48It's not, and if only I could have given you a clue.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- A lot of people in this studio have heard it. - EGGHEADS LAUGH
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Do you want to...? Just hum it for us, those that have been on it?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59THEY HUM THE MASTERMIND THEME TUNE
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Mastermind.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Approaching Menace.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05You can see why now, as you approach that chair.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What's it like, walking up to that chair, Chris?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Well, ten more steps on the road of life, really. Gets you from A to B.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Didn't faze you?- Didn't faze me, no. - You were Magnus years, weren't you? - Oh, yes, yes.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I'm the golden age.- Yeah. OK. Well, there we are. Approaching Menace.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Didn't hear it from Phil, which means an opportunity for Judith.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Who declined his Oscar for best actor in 1973,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31sending an actress posing as a Native American to the ceremony in his place?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I have a feeling that's Marlon Brando.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's correct. You've won the round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It means, Phil, no place for you,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46I'm sorry to say, in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Transplantees, one brain gone from the final round. Next category,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53let's play the next subject. This one is Science.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Who'd like to play Science? Can't be Phil.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- I'll go.- OK, David. And which Egghead would you like to play?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It can't be Judith, so one of the boys.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I've always wanted to play against CJ, so I'll choose him.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Now your wish has come true. Let's have David and CJ in the question room, please.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12David, first or second?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Best of luck.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Science. First question to you, David.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Ornithology is the branch of zoology concerned with
0:08:22 > 0:08:23the study of which creatures?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Well, I'm certain it's not insects,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34and frogs are amphibians,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and so I'll go for birds.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Birds, ornithology. Correct. Good start.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41CJ...
0:08:41 > 0:08:45in imperial measurement, how many inches are there in a yard?
0:08:48 > 0:08:5212 inches in a foot, three feet in a yard. That would be...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- 44!- Er, nearly. 36, Dermot. Work on your adding up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57LAUGHTER
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Ah, well, I try. 36 is correct, yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03OK.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07David, how many ventricles are there in the human heart?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14There are four chambers,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18so therefore, there are two auricles, or atria,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23as they're known now, and so therefore, there are two ventricles.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Two. You seem to have a detailed knowledge.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Is this from your work with the society,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29or because you know this kind of thing?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Erm, well, I do teach this subject.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- A-ha! - TRANSPLANTEES LAUGH
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Good stuff! You'd better know it, then.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I know! I'm in trouble if I don't!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yeah, it's four. No, it's two. Absolutely. Well done.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Ventricles in the human heart.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ah, right down your street, then.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Excellent. OK,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52CJ, in the human body, what is the technical term for the Achilles tendon?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Ouch.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Yeah, it does hurt, doesn't it, if you tweak it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09The only one that's ringing even the vaguest bell is sartorius,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13but I can't... I can't even place why that word
0:10:13 > 0:10:16is even remotely recognisable to me.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Let's go for the one I think I recognise, and go for sartorius.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Sartorius tendon.- Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's not right. It's the calcaneal tendon.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Calcaneal. Erm, so, David,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32you go through to the final, if you give a correct answer.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Amino acids are linked together by what type of bonds?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I very much doubt whether they're ionic.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I'm probably going to choose the wrong one here.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I'm going to go for hydrogen.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53OK, hydrogen. Amino acids are linked together by...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56peptide bonds. You did!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You went for the wrong one! Peptide.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59OK, CJ...
0:10:59 > 0:11:03the entire genetic complement of an organism is known as what?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I can't remember what it was called. Was it the HGP,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14the Human Genome Planning? But it's genome.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Genome? - Yeah.- ..is correct, CJ, yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21So it's all square.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Sudden death.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26David, which element has the highest melting point of any metal?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Its original name was wolfram.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I believe it's tungsten.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Hence its use in welding, and all that, yeah?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Tungsten is correct, yes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42OK, well, CJ, you've got to get this.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Which tropical marine bird of the genus Sula - S-U-L-A -
0:11:46 > 0:11:51is similar to a gannet, and probably takes its name from the Spanish for "fool"?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I've got nothing to go on here, apart from the slight similarity with...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I can see how it might come from Spanish.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- I don't like it, but I'm gonna go for cormorant.- Cormorant. No.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09You've made a bit of a booby of yourself.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Booby, not cormorant,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13which means great news, David.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15You are through to the final round.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17No place for you there, CJ.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Would you both please come back, and join your teams?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23The Transplantees hit back there.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26As it stands, both teams have lost a brain from the final.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And our next head-to-head today is Sport.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now, I know plenty of you
0:12:31 > 0:12:32will be fancying this one.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Paul, Patrick or Dave? Sport.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- I'll do it, please.- Which Egghead would you like to play? Can't be CJ or Judith. One of the others.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Er, I'll take Barry, please, Dermot. - Barry? OK.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Eager to get on with it, Dave? Straining at the leash!
0:12:45 > 0:12:46THEY LAUGH
0:12:46 > 0:12:50OK, let's have Dave and Barry into the question room, please.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Dave, I know you're involved in the athletics world,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56so an exciting time for you in the lead-up to the Olympics.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Yeah, I'm very interested. Yeah, I like to officiate at athletics.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I, more or less, go all over the country with my daughter and my son.
0:13:04 > 0:13:11They compete for a local club. But yeah, it would be very good to see 2012 in London.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- It would be great, yeah.- OK, well, let's play the Sport round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Hope for some athletics questions for you. I don't know.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Would you like to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, best of luck, Dave.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- First question. And... - DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:13:26 > 0:13:29..given our previous discussion, this one's rather interesting.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Which Scottish cyclist won three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, I obviously really like this guy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I think he did really, really well.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm guessing it's Chris Hoy.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Chris Hoy, yeah. Yeah, lovely bloke.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Dedication to training is phenomenal.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- All the athletes... - Fantastic, yeah.- There we are.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Chris Hoy, correct.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Barry...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57first question for you.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Who did Fabio Capello select as the permanent captain of the England football team in August 2008?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13cos football's not my sport, but I believe it was Rio Ferdinand.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- OK, Rio Ferdinand... - SHE MOUTHS
0:14:16 > 0:14:18..captain when John Terry is injured,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- the permanent captain. - BARRY LAUGHS
0:14:20 > 0:14:23John Terry is the answer we're looking for.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25There we are. He just ran straight into that,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27didn't he? Didn't pause there.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Just shows, the Eggheads can get it wrong every now and again,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32which is good news for you, Dave.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You're in the lead - this will double it, if you get it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40How many tennis French Open singles titles did Bjorn Borg win during his career?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Well, obviously, it's not my favourite subject, this,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48so it'll be a wild guess.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I would say four, for a guess.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- And it's only a guess.- OK, four. - CJ MOUTHS
0:14:54 > 0:14:57The French Open, how many?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00We know about his Wimbledons. How many French Opens, CJ?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01- Six.- Six.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Six French and five Wimbledons.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- That was it.- OK, it's six.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07It's six, not four.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11So, er, no damage necessarily done there -
0:15:11 > 0:15:13you retain the lead if Barry doesn't get this.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Barry, in which sport might you be expected to encounter boils and haystacks?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I've never heard of boils and haystacks in boxing.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26There is a punch called a hay cutter, I think,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29but I don't think there's a haystack.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Doesn't sound a diving term, but in canoeing,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35with the various eddies that you're likely to get in the river,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37a boil and a haystack sounds quite plausible,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39so I shall go for canoeing.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43OK, just working that out on plausibility, really.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's right. Well done. Canoeing.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47All square. The next couple of questions
0:15:47 > 0:15:49might sort out a winner. Dave.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55Roman Sebrle, the first man to score over 9,000 points
0:15:55 > 0:15:57in a decathlon competition,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01was nearly killed when he was hit by which piece of equipment in 2007?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Yeah, hold on! HE CHUCKLES
0:16:06 > 0:16:09This is a tough one. Yes. Erm...
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Well, obviously, throwing.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15I would say, erm...discus.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18OK, Roman Sebrle scored 9,000 points
0:16:18 > 0:16:21in a decathlon, was nearly killed when he was hit by...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- a javelin.- Oh.- A javelin. - One of the other throwing events.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28OK, well, er, Barry,
0:16:28 > 0:16:35Karl Malone, who retired as the second-highest points scorer in NBA history in 2005,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38spent 18 seasons with which team?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The second-highest scorer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50That presupposes that he played for one of the better teams.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53On the basis that he retired in 2005,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57and Chicago Bulls had a better period earlier than the Lakers,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I shall say the LA Lakers.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03The Lakers. Yeah, you were tossing up between the Lakers and the Bulls,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05weren't you? And you know what?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- It's Utah Jazz. - BARRY LAUGHS
0:17:07 > 0:17:09So you were never close.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- This is not my day, is it?- Nah!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13BOTH CHUCKLE
0:17:13 > 0:17:18So there we are. Well, Barry, look at that, red all over the board,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23but somewhere amongst the red, a tick for each of you, which takes us into sudden death.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Start again, Dave. Can you tell me which Dutch former footballer
0:17:27 > 0:17:31named his son Jordi after a Catalan saint?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Oh. This is a...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I don't really know many Dutch football players,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40only the ones that are normally playing now, so...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44The only one I can think of is Johan Cruyff.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It's the right answer, yes! Johan Cruyff.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49When Jordi was born,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53he was playing for Barcelona at the time. Went to play for Man United, didn't he?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54He did, for a while, yes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57OK, well, you've got to get this, then, Barry.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03Who did Martina Navratilova say had an unfair advantage in the 1992 Wimbledon semi-finals
0:18:03 > 0:18:07because of her oral outbursts, or grunts?
0:18:07 > 0:18:13I seem to recall Martina Hingis was quite vocal.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I think that's about the right period.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I'm sure CJ will be pulling wonderful faces if I've got it wrong.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- But I shall go for Martina Hingis. - Martina Hingis.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Ah, it's a bit early for her, isn't it, CJ? '92.- Monica Seles.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32- Monica Seles, Barry.- Oh! - I think you just got confused there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I was confused all this round! LAUGHTER
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I think you have. Anyway, listen,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38great news.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You're through, Dave. Johan Cruyff's put you through.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You'll be playing in the final. You won't, Barry.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Getting better and better for the Transplantees,
0:18:51 > 0:18:55two Eggheads now missing from the final round. You've lost one brain.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And our last head-to-head before the final round is History.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And, Paul or Patrick, who wants to play this?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Patrick. Yeah.- I'll go.- Yep.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Patrick.- And, er... - And it's Chris or Kevin remaining.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Yes, it'll have to be Chris, I think. Yeah. Chris, please.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17OK, let's have Patrick and Chris into the question room, please.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Patrick, let's see if we can get another one of you through to the final round.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27This would be marvellous. Whittle the Eggheads down to two. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Oh, I'll go first, please.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Here's your first question, then.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35What was the name of the royal yacht launched by the Queen
0:19:35 > 0:19:38on the 16th of April 1953?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Well, straightaway, Britannia springs out at me.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I've never heard of the other two, so I'll go for Britannia.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Royal yacht Britannia. Yeah, right.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Good start, Patrick.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Chris, first question.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57The Spanish hero El Cid
0:19:57 > 0:20:01is famous for fighting both for and against which people?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05"For and against," is the operative word.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It was the Moors -
0:20:07 > 0:20:09the Arabic people who settled in Spain.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11The Moors is the correct answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Well done, Chris. Patrick, your second question.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The 1690 Battle of the Boyne
0:20:17 > 0:20:22was a victory for which king of England over the deposed monarch, James II?
0:20:26 > 0:20:33James II... Erm, Charles II, let me just think...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'll go for George I.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- OK, George I, a victory for George I over James II? Chris?- Yeah,
0:20:41 > 0:20:42King Billy, William III.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45William III. Of course, you were saying King Billy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Took place in the Battle of the Boyne in...- 1690.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51There we are. Nothing for you, Patrick, and a chance, then,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53for the lead for Chris.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58With whom did the participants in the 1605 Gunpowder Plot
0:20:58 > 0:21:01plan to replace James I on the English throne?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I don't think they'd have stood for another queen,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11so it's not Elizabeth Stuart.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16And Henry Frederick Stuart doesn't sound right,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18so I'll go for Robert Bruce Stuart.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- OK. Er, no, they did want a queen. Elizabeth Stuart.- Oh, right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26They did. Elizabeth Stuart. So, good news for you, Patrick, there.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Stays all square,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and you can go into the lead if you get this.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Which UNESCO World Heritage Site,
0:21:33 > 0:21:38located in modern-day Turkey, was the capital of the Hittite empire?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Er, it's not part of history that I've studied,
0:21:46 > 0:21:51or even read about, but, er...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm going to have to hazard a guess here, really.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'll take the one in the middle. I don't know how you pronounce it.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Hatt-oo-sa, is it? The one in the middle.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02The one in the middle, OK. Hattusha.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Er, capital of the Hittite empire. Has he hit that?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- He has.- He has. It's the right answer.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Well done, Patrick.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Nothing wrong with a blind guess now and again!
0:22:13 > 0:22:17In the lead. Well, will another Egghead bite the dust?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Chris...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21to save yourself, Mansa Musa,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25who led a famous pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28was the ruler of which African empire?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Ah, now, this was the Islamic civilisation,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36in sort of the sub-Saharan area, wasn't it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So I don't think it was called Niger,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41and it certainly wasn't Algeria.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Because it was based around Timbuktu, I'll say it was Mali.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Mali?- Mm.- You've got it. Well worked out.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yes, two each.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52We go to sudden death, then, again.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So, Patrick, can you tell me this?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Which European dynasty ruled Austria from 1282,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03secured the rule of the Holy Roman Empire in the 15th century,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07and ruled Spain between 1516 and 1700?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Was it the Goths?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14No, Patrick, it wasn't the Goths.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I'm sorry. Chris, it could have been your question if you'd been put in first by Patrick.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- It's the Hapsburgs.- The Hapsburgs.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Hapsburgs.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Chris, you win it if you get this, then.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Which island chain did the United States seize from Spain in 1898?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Oh, Battle of Manila Bay. Down the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36It was the Philippines.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Don't know what you're on about there! - CHRIS LAUGHS
0:23:39 > 0:23:43But Philippines is the right answer, Chris. Oooh.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Close, but you're in the final.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Sorry, Patrick, you won't be playing for the money today.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Would you both please come back, and join your teams?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Time for the final round - as always, it's General Knowledge.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-heads
0:24:00 > 0:24:01won't be allowed to take part.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04So, Patrick and Phil from the Transplantees,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and Barry and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10would you leave the studio now, please?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So, David, Paul and Dave,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16you're playing to win the Transplantees £26,000.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Chris, Judith, Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:24:19 > 0:24:21the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28This time, the questions are general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Transplantees, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37And David, Paul and Dave, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- First, shall we?- First. - Shall we go first?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Yeah. First, Dermot, please.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Straight in there, for the Transplantees.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Best of luck to you, guys. Here's your question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Hippophobia is the fear of which animals?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Hippophobia is the fear of which animals?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- I'm absolutely sure it's horses. - Horses.- Yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- I'm sure it's horses.- OK.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Yeah. It's not hippopotamuses!
0:25:04 > 0:25:08If you remember, the hippo, the hippopotamus, is the water horse.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Oh, yeah, it is.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14On the basis that a hippopotamus is a water horse, we'll go for horses.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Horses, hippophobia. So, hippo's not up there.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And horse is the right answer. Well worked out, yeah.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Got the link there with hippopotamuses and the rest of it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28So, Eggheads, in which town is Royal Birkdale golf club?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- (Southport.)- In which town is Royal Birkdale golf club?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Er, site of the 2008 Open. It's Southport.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Southport.- On Merseyside. Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Correct answer, Eggheads, yes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Back to you, then, Transplantees.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48In which conflict was the navy cruiser the General Belgrano
0:25:48 > 0:25:50torpedoed and sunk?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57In which conflict was the navy cruiser the General Belgrano
0:25:57 > 0:25:59torpedoed and sunk?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- I'm certain it wasn't the Persian Gulf War.- No, that's too far back.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And World War II was far too back.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Yeah. It's definitely the Falklands. - Yeah, yeah. Gotta be.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11It's got to be the Falklands, Dermot.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14The Falklands, the General Belgrano.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Are you gonna scuttle the Eggheads here?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17It's the right answer, yes.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Two to you. OK, Eggheads.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Which country won the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest?
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Which country won the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Forbearing from any comment on voting patterns
0:26:35 > 0:26:39or things being preordained, it was Russia.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Russia is correct. Yes, Eggheads.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Tricky one. Well negotiated,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45and all square.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Third questions each.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The kuna is the official currency
0:26:49 > 0:26:53of which European country, Transplantees?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The kuna is the official currency of which European country?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03K-U-N-A, the kuna.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09Well, Croatia and Slovenia are both Yugoslavia, aren't they?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So they would have the zloty.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13What do you think?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Erm, Czech Republic.- Yeah. - Yeah.- Definitely.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Well, it's a guess, isn't it? It's a wild guess.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It's a little bit of working out.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27We feel that Croatia and Slovenia were the same country at one time,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28or part of the same country,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31so therefore we're going for the Czech Republic.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- OK, Czech Republic, and the kuna. - Could be totally wrong.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37You'll soon find out.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You are wrong. It's not the Czech Republic.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40It is...Eggheads?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Croatia. - Well, there we are. Croatia.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45A chance for the Eggheads, then.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Eggheads,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Marius Petipa was an influential figure in which area of the arts?
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Marius Petipa is an influential figure in which area of the arts?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04He was a famous 19th century choreographer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Ballet.- Russian.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- OK, ballet?- Yeah.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12It's correct, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Bad luck, guys.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Thanks for telling us about the important work, about the Transplantee Games,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- and, of course, carry your donor card.- Absolutely.- Yeah.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32you won't be going home with the £26,000,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:40 > 0:28:42have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44£27,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Until then, goodbye.
