0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:28 > 0:00:31their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You might recognise them, as they've won some
0:00:34 > 0:00:37of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are
0:00:41 > 0:00:44the Chummie Brummies from Birmingham.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Along with her husband, Ed, team captain Elaine has recruited three
0:00:47 > 0:00:51of her best friends, including Jan, whom Elaine has known since their
0:00:51 > 0:00:53first day at primary school.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Elaine.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm 54 and I'm a chartered accountant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Ed. I'm 49 and I'm a payroll manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Jan. I'm 54 and I'm a bank manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Peter. I'm 55 and I'm a chartered accountant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Mandy. I'm 46 and I'm a manager and part-time student.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Well, welcome to Chummie Brummies. So, Elaine and Jan, you've known
0:01:19 > 0:01:21each other, since primary school? So ten or 11 years?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- That's right. Such a charm! - First day at primary school though.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And did you hit it off then? Did you click right back then?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- We did, yeah.- Sit beside each other?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Yeah.- Exchanged sandwiches? - Well, no. It was school dinners.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38School dinners, of course, in those days.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And did you at secondary school, stay together?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Janet went to a different junior school and then when we got to
0:01:45 > 0:01:47secondary school,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I was late for school the first day and there was only one seat left in
0:01:50 > 0:01:53the class, and I sat down and Janet said, "Hello, Elaine."
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And there she was again!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- And on it went.- On it went. - And now here you are on Eggheads.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yep.- So do you quiz a bit then? - We do, yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03As a team, all five of you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We quiz with Peter and Mandy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- And Janet's coming along to the odd one as well.- OK.- Yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Well, let's hope you've got all the categories covered today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13All the angles taken care of.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Let me tell you what's been going on with the money.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:18 > 0:02:21for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So, Chummie Brummies, the Eggheads have won the last 28 games,
0:02:27 > 0:02:33which means £29,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35First head to head will be on the subject of sport.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Who are sporting specialists amongst you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- I think Peter.- Peter.- Yep.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And any Egghead is available at this point. None of them have played,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- of course.- CJ?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- CJ? CJ I think, yes.- Yep.- CJ.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53OK. CJ.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55It's a shock.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57For you.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Yeah, let's have Peter then and CJ into the question room please,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03just to make sure there's no conferring.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Peter, it's sport. Do you want to go first or second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- You get to choose. - I'll go second please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Second. That's you, CJ, then first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Britain won its greatest number
0:03:19 > 0:03:21of medals in which sport?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Ah?
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Big haul, but which sport provided most of them?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37It must be cycling, cos you've got Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I mean, there were a lot of obviously rowing races,
0:03:41 > 0:03:46but generally one person can only win one medal,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51unless they're in a coxed pair and something larger.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56I have no idea what I'm burbling on about, as you may have guessed.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00No, it must be cycling. It's definitely cycling, Dermot.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It is the right answer. It is cycling. So there we are.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well, CJ negotiated that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Got the start that maybe the Chummie Brummies didn't want.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Let's hope you get a good start, Peter. Your first question now.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16In major league baseball, the outer layer of the baseball is
0:04:16 > 0:04:18made from which material?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Well let's think about this.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24It's unlikely to be cork,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28cos is, I would imagine, the filling of the ball.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So it would either be plastic or leather.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36And I know traditionally the pitcher likes to rub something into the
0:04:36 > 0:04:39surface of the ball
0:04:39 > 0:04:44to get it rough, so he can get some curve into it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So I would guess it would be leather.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50OK. Working it out and, yeah, like cricket, leather.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It's the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58OK, CJ. What was Ellery Hanley's
0:04:58 > 0:05:02first rugby league club, for which he signed in 1978?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Ellery Hanley. He's...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I think I can picture him, but that's absolutely no use
0:05:12 > 0:05:14to me, cos even if I could see him wearing a shirt,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17it would mean nothing to me. Erm...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yes, he was very well known.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I remember this, cos it's very important.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He was very well known for playing for Bradford.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Yes, I remember now.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Erm, Barry?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I knew you were going to ask me and I can't remember.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34He's got it right.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Oh, dear.- He's got it right.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I told you it was well known. - Wild guess.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Guess there with confidence.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Trying to fool us into thinking you knew. It's what you can do
0:05:43 > 0:05:47with these three choices. But, Peter, let's hope no guessing here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's hope you know it. Second question for you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Which cricket team won the 2008 Division One Country Championship?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01This I should know cos I've followed cricket quite a long time and it was
0:06:01 > 0:06:03their first ever big success.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's Durham.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Yeah, it certainly was.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Well done, Peter. Sailing in with that one.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Two-all. CJ, which racecourse near Esher in Surrey hosts both the
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Tingle Creek Trophy over jumps and the Eclipse Stakes on the flat?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Those races mean nothing to me, but I know that Sandown Park's
0:06:27 > 0:06:29next door to Esher, so I'll go for Sandown Park.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33A geography question then you've got right, CJ. Correct, yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The Tingle Creek and the Eclipse both at Sandown.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Different codes of racing.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39And a third question then for you,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Peter, which you must get to keep this round going. In which
0:06:43 > 0:06:47year did footballers first wear shirt numbers at the FA Cup Final?
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Now, this I wouldn't know, because I wasn't around for any of them.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Er... I don't think it was 1893.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I think that might have been a bit early.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Erm...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think it would be 1913, by which
0:07:08 > 0:07:13stage football had become quite well organised. So I'll say 1913.
0:07:13 > 0:07:161913.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Increasing organisation you think.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Shirt numbers at the FA Cup Final
0:07:21 > 0:07:25was in 1933.
0:07:25 > 0:07:301933. 20 years later. So no shirt numbers up to that point.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34And looking at the scoreboard there, it means, Peter, as you know,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38CJ has somehow won the round.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41With, what? Bradford, I think, the most outrageous of
0:07:41 > 0:07:43the three guesses you ventured there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Means you won't be playing in the final round. CJ, you will be.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53As it stands, Chummie Brummies have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We'll play our next round now.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59And it's Film & Television.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Who'd like to play this? Film & Television.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06It depends whether geography's coming up, doesn't it, really?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Shall I do it then?- Yeah, you do it. Yeah, captain's round.- All right.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- I'm going to do it.- OK, Elaine.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Now, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be CJ.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- One of the other four.- Chris please. - Chris, OK. Film & Television.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Got a little black and white set in the house, haven't you?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah, a little 6 inch screen, a sort of greenish colour, yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Bought for the Coronation.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31OK, let's have Elaine and Chris into the question room please.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So, Elaine, I believe you've been
0:08:33 > 0:08:37crunching your numbers in your role as captain of the Chummie Brummies.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- And doing the stats on the Eggheads. - I have, yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I've been very busy and we've all had tests to do.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45We've all been marked on our subjects.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47And that's been put into my spreadsheet.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- And it's just gone wrong. - All right, OK.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well, let's hope we can get it back on the right track with this round.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Do you want to go first or let Chris begin.- I'll go first.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Good luck, Elaine. Here you go. First question.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05In 2004, Rupert Penry-Jones
0:09:05 > 0:09:08first appeared as Adam Carter in which TV series?
0:09:11 > 0:09:17Well, I don't watch Foyle's War and I don't watch Hustle.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19The only one I watch is Spooks.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So I'm going to go for Spooks,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24cos I've got a feeling he might be in that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30OK. Adam Carter, played by Rupert Penry-Jones is in Spooks.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32It's the right answer. Well done.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Seen it. OK, Chris.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Which film starring Will Ferrell
0:09:37 > 0:09:40was subtitled The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ah, that's the stock car racing thing, isn't it?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So that's Talladega Nights.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby. Are you a fan of the works of Will Ferrell?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Not particularly, no.- Well if you are, I recommend Blades Of Glory.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- That's the ice-skating one.- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Erm, Talladega Nights is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07OK, one each. And, Elaine, second question.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11The English actress Kristin Scott Thomas attended a prestigious
0:10:11 > 0:10:14drama school in which European city?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Well, I don't really know the answer, but I know until recently
0:10:20 > 0:10:24she was married to a Frenchman, so I'm going to say Paris.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28OK. Maybe the reason she lived in Paris for so long.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's the right answer. Yeah, Paris. Drama school there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36OK, Chris, in which decade was the US TV sketch show
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Saturday Night Live launched?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Well, it's fairly controversial and in the '50s the sponsors
0:10:46 > 0:10:48didn't like anything controversial
0:10:48 > 0:10:50on American television whatever.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Er...
0:10:52 > 0:10:58It could be the tail end of the '60s or it could be the '70s.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Given that it's been around a long time...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Was more or less contemporary with Rowan And Martin's Laugh-in,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11if I remember right. I'll say the '60s.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The answer is the 1970s.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Oh.- So 1970s there for Saturday Night Live.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Well great news, Elaine, in that spreadsheet. Woo-hoo!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Bit of updating in your favour if you get this one right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Which actor fought at Pegasus Bridge on D-Day and later
0:11:30 > 0:11:36played his own commanding officer in the 1962 film The Longest Day?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Well, my husband would know this one
0:11:41 > 0:11:43cos he likes military films.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Erm...
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I don't think it was John Gregson.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So I'm going to go for Richard Todd.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57The answer is Richard Todd! It's correct.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Elaine, you're going through to the final round. No need to put another
0:12:01 > 0:12:04question to Chris. Chris, no place for you in the final round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Elaine, if we allowed laptops in here, you'd be updating yours
0:12:12 > 0:12:15right now, wouldn't you? As it stands, it's all square then.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Both teams lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Our next head to head today could be another interesting one. Music.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Who'd like to play this and it can't be Elaine or
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Peter, they've both played.- OK, it looks like it's me on this one.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, Mandy. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35CJ and Chris have played, so it's Barry, Daphne or Kevin.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Not Daphne. I heard Daphne on Kerrang Radio and she's lethal.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42What did she say on Kerrang Radio?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Well, she went head to head with one of
0:12:44 > 0:12:47the presenters and she thrashed him.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Did you? What questions?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Music questions?- Yes, yes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55She knew the White Stripes' albums, which... Respect to Daphne.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00OK. So not Daphne, then cos she knows her music.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Try Barry?- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'll try Barry.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06OK. Try Barry. Let's have Mandy and Barry into
0:13:06 > 0:13:11the question room please. Mandy, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Here we go.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Which Italian composer has been jokingly referred to as Joe Green?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I know that Verdi is Italian for green,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31so I'm going to go with Giuseppe Verdi.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Giuseppe Verdi, Joe Green. Yup, that's the right answer. Well done.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Barry, what is the part
0:13:40 > 0:13:43of a piano's mechanism that actually strikes the string?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48What is the part of a piano's mechanism
0:13:48 > 0:13:50that actually strikes the string?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54It would be interesting to see a hammer that worked on a pestle basis
0:13:54 > 0:13:58and a chisel is likely to break the string, so it's obviously the hammer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yeah, little hammer. It's the right answer, yes.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well done, Barry. OK, Mandy.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Who won the Mercury Prize For Music
0:14:05 > 0:14:09in 2008 with their album The Seldom Seen Kid?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Certainly underrated until they won this award. It was Elbow.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Hee-hee-hee! You do know your stuff. It's the right answer. Elbow.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Sadly underrated.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Right, Barry, behind... this chance to catch up then.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29In 1960, what was
0:14:29 > 0:14:34the first single by the Shadows to reach number one in the UK?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I can still remember this one.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm certain it was Apache.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Erm, Apache is the right answer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yes, correct, Barry.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51So, Mandy, third question. Always an important one.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Which classical ballet features magical spirits
0:14:54 > 0:14:57ruled by a queen called Myrtha?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Erm. Don't recognise the name.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Giselle has a sort of supernatural element,
0:15:12 > 0:15:17but I think that's ghosts rather than magical spirits.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's a bit of a guess. I'm going to go with La Sylphide.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24La Sylphide.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It is Giselle.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29That's the ghosty, magical bit.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So a chance for Barry
0:15:32 > 0:15:35at this third question point.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37As I say, very often crucial.
0:15:37 > 0:15:43Barry, since 2005, which artist has released albums called Magic Time,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Pay The Devil and Keep It Simple?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oh, dear.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Not having heard of any of those albums
0:15:53 > 0:15:55that makes this a bit of a lottery.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I like Van Morrison music and I've not heard of any Van Morrison recent
0:16:01 > 0:16:04albums entitled that.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07For some reason I don't think it's Elvis Costello.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So this is an out and out guess, and my apologies to my very learned
0:16:11 > 0:16:15opponent if I've got this right, but I'm going to go for David Gray.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17No need to apologise. It's wrong.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- It's Van Morrison.- Ah!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Every time I say one. - Did you know that, Mandy?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I didn't. I might have guessed Van Morrison, just cos it didn't sound
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- like either of the other two. - OK. Very honest of you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Listen, I'm enjoying this round anyway, so I'm glad it's continuing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Sudden death though for the first time in the game, Mandy, means we
0:16:38 > 0:16:41remove, as I'm sure as Elaine has schooled you,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44we remove those choices, those multiple choices.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46So I've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Here we go.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52"You fill up my senses like a night in the forest"
0:16:52 > 0:16:58are the opening lines of which UK number one hit single from 1974?
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I believe that that is Annie's Song.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Is that your answer, Mandy? - That is my answer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Annie's Song
0:17:09 > 0:17:10is correct!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13"You fill up my senses like a night in the forest."
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Just bonus, glory bonus point, Mandy, by?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- John Denver.- John Denver.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22OK, knew it all there then. Right, Barry.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Which 1980s pop production trio
0:17:25 > 0:17:29became known by the abbreviation SAW?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I'm trying to think of a trio from the '80s and Bananarama's
0:17:33 > 0:17:36coming into my mind because Siobhan Fahey
0:17:36 > 0:17:39was one of the members and that could be the S.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I can't remember who the other two members were, what the A and W were,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45but as I've nothing else, I'll go for Bananarama.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49OK, Bananarama. OK, I'm going to pause here and delivery my annual
0:17:49 > 0:17:53lecture in Eggheads on listening accurately to the question,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57which the Eggheads themselves are sometimes negligent about.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Barry, which 1980s
0:17:59 > 0:18:03pop PRODUCTION trio became known by the abbreviation SAW?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Oh!- So not a band.- Oh!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- It's in the question. - Stock Aitken Waterman.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Stock Aitken Waterman! He's got it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13And there endeth the lecture.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Listen to the question!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Ha-ha! But the good news being that it was an Egghead who didn't listen
0:18:19 > 0:18:23and it's a contestant who's going through to the final round!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Mandy, we're having you in the final round.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Thank you.- Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31This is getting lots better now, isn't it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35As it stands, Chummie Brummies have lost one brain from the final round,
0:18:35 > 0:18:40the Eggheads have now lost two brains. Very careless.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Right, last subject, another chance to
0:18:42 > 0:18:46knock one of these faltering, non-listening Eggheads out.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The subject is Food & Drink.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Who'd like to play this? Two of you left.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's Jan or Ed. Food & Drink.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Janet for this one. - OK.- Janet.- I'll do this one.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02OK, Jan, and remaining on the Eggheads' side are Kevin and Daphne.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'll take Kevin.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Yes! It should be good.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Do you want to pass now, Kevin, or do you want to play the round?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- I'll give it a go.- Give it a go.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Let's have Jan and Kevin into the question room please.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Jan, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first please, Dermot
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, you're kicking off, Jan. Here you go. Good luck.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Which part of a pig is fried to make pork scratchings?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Well, I certainly don't like the idea of the tongue being fried.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40And I guess if it was the tail, it would be long and thin.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm going to go for skin.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Skin. Er, skin is correct.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well done, Jan. Good start.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49First question, Kevin.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The apple variety called Cox's Orange Pippin
0:19:52 > 0:19:55was first cultivated in which country?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Erm, am I meant to think that Canada's in there for a reason?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I don't know whether to go for Britain as the obvious
0:20:05 > 0:20:10or to go for Canada as the "Why is it there?" if it's not that.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'm going to go for Canada.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Canada's there cos we have to put three in really.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Yes, I know that.- If we just put "Britain", which the answer is,
0:20:20 > 0:20:21then it might be a bit easy.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23DERMOT LAUGHS
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Quintessentially British, always has been, always will be.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Cox's Orange Pippin. Well, that's just what you hoped for.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Elaine, the old spreadsheet. Now it's paying off, isn't it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'm going to patent it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Still a way to go though.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Right, all our concentration on Jan and our best wishes to her.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Jan, which name is given to German wine that is made from the juice of
0:20:44 > 0:20:46grapes that have been frozen on the vine?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Well, Dermot, I took a course in wine at night school.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58The clue is in the ice and the answer is Eiswein.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Whey! It is. Yes. Well done.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Every penny worth it on that course, I tell you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- And, of course, a few drinks you had as well.- I certainly did.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Two-nil to you. Kevin, you go out if you get this wrong.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Keeping wine in barrels made from which timber typically imparts a
0:21:17 > 0:21:20flavour of vanilla to the end product?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'm sure Jan would know this one as well then.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Right up her street, I would guess.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I don't know, so I'm just going to say oak.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Oak. Yes, the classic oaking, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Sometimes, Jan, they just put oak chips in.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- That's correct, yes. - Oak is the right answer, Kevin.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Kept you in it, but maybe not for long. Good luck with this, Jan.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Three times world quiz champion sitting there with you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53If you get this, he's out. Which two ingredients are found in
0:21:53 > 0:21:56the traditional Northumberland dish called pan haggerty?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well, I've heard of it, but I've never had it. Erm...
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I guess that if it's "pan" something,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15it's probably done in a frying pan.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17And I don't think it's leeks and suet.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I don't think you'd put those together.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23So ham and peas or potato and cheese.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I really have no idea at all,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33but I'm going to go for potato and cheese.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38OK, potato and cheese... CJ slumps,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40which means...
0:22:40 > 0:22:44you are through to the final round! It's the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well done, Jan. Brilliant stuff.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It is the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57But I'm afraid those of you who
0:22:57 > 0:22:59lost your head to heads can't take part in this round.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03So, Peter from the Chummie Brummies and Kevin,
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Chris and Barry from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio please?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So Elaine, Ed, Jan and Mandy,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14you're playing to win the Chummie Brummies £29,000.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yes, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions
0:23:25 > 0:23:28are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Chummie Brummies, the question is,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Chummie Brummies, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I think we'll go first, shall we?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We'll go first.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44All right then. The moment of truth has arrived.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Let's see if you can win the money.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48First set of questions for you, Chummie Brummies.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50And the best of luck to you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55During World War II the Douglas C-47 transport plane was better
0:23:55 > 0:23:58known in the RAF by what name?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05During World War II the Douglas C-47 transport plane was better
0:24:05 > 0:24:07known in the RAF by what name?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- No idea.- Dakota.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12We're going to leave this one to Ed because he likes
0:24:12 > 0:24:14military history, so...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I think it's the Dakota.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20OK, the C-47, Douglas C-47, better known...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22as the Dakota. It's the right answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well done. Correct.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So one to you. Eggheads, the American
0:24:27 > 0:24:32politician Sarah Palin was elected governor of which state in 2006?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38The American politician Sarah Palin was
0:24:38 > 0:24:43elected governor of which state in 2006?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Alaska.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Alaska is correct, Eggheads. One apiece.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Chummie Brummies, second question.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Which capital city lies opposite Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Which capital city lies opposite Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's not Minsk.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15- It's between Tallinn and Riga. - Can you visualise it? No!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Helsinki and Tallinn, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We don't know any better so...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- OK. We're not 100%, but we're going to go for Tallinn.- Tallinn.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34The answer is Tallinn.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It's correct. Well Tallinn they worked out.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well done.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And, Eggheads, second question for you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47The trio of supermodel friends that became known in high-fashion circles
0:25:47 > 0:25:52at the Trinity was Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and who else?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00The trio of supermodel friends that became known in high-fashion
0:26:00 > 0:26:05circles at the Trinity was Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and who else?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11I don't know, but I wouldn't have gone for Elle McPherson, personally.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- No.- I'd go between the other two.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Yeah.- Now Christy Turlington's obviously older.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Yes.- Erm...
0:26:19 > 0:26:22But Evangelista's quite a bit older than Campbell.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Claudia Schiffer would be my instinct, but...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And that's, when I heard
0:26:28 > 0:26:34the three names, what I thought of, so we will go with Claudia Schiffer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35OK. Naomi Campbell,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Linda Evangelista and...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Christy Turlington made up the Trinity.- Oh!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- But...- Well there you are.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Well it's wide open for you, Chummie Brummies.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Either, and this is the preferred option, you give me the correct
0:26:53 > 0:26:55answer here, you win the money.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Or they get another one wrong, you've still won the money.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01But let's
0:27:01 > 0:27:03keep your fate in your own hands.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Best of luck for this. For £29,000 and the Eggheads' crown.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Which of Jane Austen's novels was initially entitled First Impressions
0:27:13 > 0:27:15and was rejected by a publisher?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Which of Jane Austen's novels was
0:27:21 > 0:27:26initially entitled First Impressions and was rejected by a publisher?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'd say Pride And Prejudice.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I recollect somebody saying something about that being rejected.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- Because my first impression of Darcy is that he's...- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah, we'll go with that then.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Are you OK with that? - Yeah, I'm OK with that.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46£29,000.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48No pressure(!)
0:27:48 > 0:27:50None at all.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Elaine.- So we're going to go with Pride And Prejudice.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Pride And Prejudice, First Impressions.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01The answer is Pride And Prejudice.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02We've won!
0:28:09 > 0:28:10How does that feel?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12That's just fantastic.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I mean, you must have watched it so many times and seen so many teams...
0:28:16 > 0:28:1728 teams on this particular run.
0:28:17 > 0:28:2028 teams have come and had their hopes dashed by this lot.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23And all of you who took their places in the question room,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and including Peter, handled the pressure really well.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Well done to you all. Congratulations.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32For today only you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads
0:28:32 > 0:28:34and proved they can be beaten.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40will be just as successful.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Until then from all of us here, goodbye.
