0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32You might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Leekensians.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44The team are all friends and family from Leek in Staffordshire
0:00:44 > 0:00:48and have been quizzing together for over ten years. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Eddie, I'm 59 and I'm an accounts clerk.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Rose, I'm 58 and I'm a supply teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 22 and I'm a change control co-ordinator.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Christine, I'm 56 and I am a school librarian.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Roger, I'm 58 and I'm a tourist guide.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Welcome, Leekensians.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And this is the phrase for people from Leek, is it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Yes. People who are born or work in Leek and have family in Leek.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- So you all qualify, clearly. - Yes, we do.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Talking about family, there's three of the same family here. Mum, Dad...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yes, my wife, Rose and son, Nick.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Christine and Roger, how did you get involved?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Through quizzing, really.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We've formed various quiz teams over the years
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and that's how we really know each other.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Ten years of quizzing, not bad. That's almost Eggheads standard!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Well, let's see how you do against the Eggheads today, the big test.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58So, Leekensians, the challengers actually won the last game,
0:01:58 > 0:01:59proving it can be done.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And our first head-to-head battle today
0:02:04 > 0:02:07will be on the subject of film and TV.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Who would like to play this? Film and television?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I think, Roger, you should.- OK.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Who is he going to go against, though?- Any Egghead you like.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Shall we go for Barry?- Who is it going to be?- Roger against Barry.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Roger against Barry, the battle over film and television.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Could I ask you both to take your positions in the question room,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30just to make sure there is no conferring.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Would you like to go first or second, Roger?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I'll go first, please.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Good luck. Here's your question, then.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46What was the title of the 1999 ground-breaking TV series
0:02:46 > 0:02:49which used computer graphics and animation
0:02:49 > 0:02:52to create a portrayal of animals in prehistoric times?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I didn't watch it, but I do like those kind of programmes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I don't think it was Spying On Dinosaurs.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I think it was Walking With Dinosaurs.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Walking With Dinosaurs.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15That's the right answer, well done. A good start, Roger.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Barry, who became the regular male co-host
0:03:17 > 0:03:20of The One Show in August 2006?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Well, it wasn't Jonathan Ross and I believe it was Adrian Chiles.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33The host of The One Show. Yes, it's the right answer, well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Roger, "The heat is on", is a tag line
0:03:37 > 0:03:39from which 1984 Eddie Murphy movie?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Well, I think The Heat Is On is actually a song as well
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and I think it's featured in Beverley Hills Cop.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52OK, Beverley Hills Cop, The Heat Is On,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54it's the right answer, yes.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Two to you. Barry - Perkin, Posie and Pootle
0:04:00 > 0:04:03were regular characters in which children's TV series?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I don't recall them in The Clangers, that had The Soup Kitchen.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Perkin, Posie and Pootle doesn't ring any bell there.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm certain they weren't in The Moomins,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21so I will go for The Flumps, because it sounds so lovely and fluffy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23The Soup Dragon, The Clangers.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Yeah. Not kitchen.- Oh, did I say...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29That's where you'll be heading for if you lose again, Eggheads.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Perkin, Posie and Pootle are in The Flumps. Well done, Barry, yeah.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's two each. It's all square as we go into the third question.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Roger, what was the name of the butler
0:04:41 > 0:04:43in the TV series The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I think this was the programme with Will Smith as the star.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I don't... I think it's Geoffrey.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Geoffrey in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air is the right answer, Roger.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Barry, you've got to get this.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09How many characters are named after colours
0:05:09 > 0:05:12in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 film, Reservoir Dogs?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Oh, ten is too many.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Let's see if I can remember them.
0:05:20 > 0:05:26Mr White, Mr Pink, Mr Blue, Mr Yellow. Eight just seems too many.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27No, I'm going to go for six.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Six, the lower number.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's the right answer, Barry, yes, six.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33We go, Roger, to sudden death,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35which means, as you know,
0:05:35 > 0:05:40those choices go now and I've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Here you go.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Who played Lady Evelyn Baggley
0:05:44 > 0:05:47in the 1970 film, Carry On Up The Jungle?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I must admit, I get the Carry On films a bit mixed up,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54but they do all have regular casts that are the same.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I would say Joan Simms.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Joan Simms is the right answer!
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Well done, Roger.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Wow, wow, wow! Back to you, Barry.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12In which 1983 film did Barbra Streisand play a Jewish girl
0:06:12 > 0:06:16who pretends to be a boy in order to enter religious training?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19She wanted to play a boy who...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22because only a boy was allowed to enter Yeshiva,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24and the film was called Yentl.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Yentl is the right answer, Barry, well done.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29OK, on we go.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Roger, wow. Who won a Best Actor Oscar
0:06:32 > 0:06:38for his performance in the 1944 film, Going My Way?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Um, I think he played a priest in that film,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42and I think it's Bing Crosby.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That is correct, Roger!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49OK, Barry, you've got to get this, then.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Jo's Palace and Capturing Mary
0:06:52 > 0:06:55are television dramas from which writer and director?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I'm trying to think of somebody who was both a writer and a director.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00I'm struggling on this.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I should be able to come up with lots of names now,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05but a writer and a director?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Dennis Potter, possibly?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10No, I don't think he directed.
0:07:10 > 0:07:16I shall try, without any great degree of confidence, Derek Redmond.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Derek Redmond. Joe's Palace and Capturing Mary are television dramas
0:07:20 > 0:07:23from the writer and director...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26..Stephen Poliakoff.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Which means it is a defeat for you, Barry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Roger, you're in the final round.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40As it stands, the challengers haven't lost any brains
0:07:40 > 0:07:43from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and we play our next head-to-head. This subject is science.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Who'd like to play?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It can't be Roger again, but any of you other four.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- I think Dad.- I thought we'd agreed on Eddie, had we?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- We had, yes. - I'll go for that, Dermot.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Anyone apart from Barry.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'd like to go against Judith.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06OK, let's have Eddie and Judith into the question room, please.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- OK, Eddie, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Best of luck, Eddie. Here you go, it's science,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21first question - the warthog is native to which continent?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Well, I can't see the warthog being in any of the countries in Europe,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31nor can I see it in Asia.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I do think Africa is the continent for the answer to
0:08:34 > 0:08:37which continent is the warthog in.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39OK.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42And the answer to which continent is the warthog in,
0:08:42 > 0:08:43it's Africa! It's correct.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Let's cut to the quick there. It's correct.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Judith, in which part of the body are the pectoral muscles located?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I think they're in the chest.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01They are in the chest, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK, Eddie, which medical prefix
0:09:04 > 0:09:08is derived from the Greek word meaning beneath or under?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's definitely not hypno
0:09:15 > 0:09:21and as I suffer from slight high blood pressure which is hypertension,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think the answer is hypo.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Hypo, not hyper,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27is the right answer, well done.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33OK, Judith, snow leopards are native to which mountain range?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40They're in the Himalayas.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Himalayas is correct. Well done, Judith.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OK, well, look at this,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47another good round of quizzing shaping up here, 2-2.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Eddie, which epoch is defined
0:09:50 > 0:09:55as lasting from around 1.8 million years to 10,000 years ago?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Of all the epochs,
0:10:03 > 0:10:10the most recent is the...Pleistocene era epoch,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12so I'm going to go for Pleistocene.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Is correct again, yes!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Leekensians haven't got a question wrong yet, Eggheads.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Judith, what is the name of the paradox first described
0:10:26 > 0:10:30by the science fiction writer Rene Barjavel
0:10:30 > 0:10:33in his book, Le Voyageur Imprudent,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37that argued time travel to the past was impossible?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Sorry, I'm thinking. I'm supposed to be talking.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I'm really sorry.- No, no, thinking is allowed, it's a quiz.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I can't think why it should be The Uncle Paradox. I just don't see why.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57The Brother Paradox doesn't seem to indicate
0:10:57 > 0:11:01any going backwards or forwards in time,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04so I think it probably is The Grandfather Paradox.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Well, it is the right answer, Judith. Well, worked out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So, 3-3.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well, on we go into sudden death again. It seems almost inevitable.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Eddie, a pizzly, P-I-Z-Z-L-Y,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21is the name given to the offspring
0:11:21 > 0:11:25of a male grizzly bear and a female what?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I think it's got to be in the bear family
0:11:27 > 0:11:30and I'm just going through the type of bear
0:11:30 > 0:11:36that would mix with a grizzly bear,
0:11:36 > 0:11:42so I'm looking at the brown bear as an answer.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46OK. A brown bear and a grizzly bear, not the right answer.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50The first one incorrect from the Leekensians. A pizzly.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Polar bear.- A polar bear, yeah, that's the P. Polar bear.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Well, a chance for the Eggheads to win a round so far.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Which breed of deer with the Latin name Capreolus capreolus
0:12:03 > 0:12:06became extinct in most of England during the 18th century,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10but was successfully reintroduced in the 19th century?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Well, I don't think red deer have ever died out.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Um, I don't know about roe deer dying out.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I can't think that roe deer... I'm sure red deer have never died out.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I'm going to have to say roe deer
0:12:35 > 0:12:38because I can't think of anything else more likely.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- OK, roe.- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's the right answer, Judith. You've won the round and it means,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46well, I didn't think it was going to happen there.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You were going so strongly, Eddie, but sudden death,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Judith played well. You won't be in the final round, Eddie.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well, the Eggheads don't stay down for long.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Struck back there, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Our next subject today is geography. Who would like to play this one?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- It's Rose, Nick or Christine. - Do you want me to go?- Yes, please.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'll go, but I'm really bad at geography.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16We'll try and get you a bad one, then.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Chris, Daphne or CJ are left, Christine.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21What do you think?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- CJ.- Yeah.- CJ. - That'd be the one!
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Let's have Christine and CJ into the question room, please.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33OK, and Christine, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Well, geography is not my specialist subject,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39so I'll definitely go first and get it out of the way.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Christine, what name is given to an area in a desert
0:13:45 > 0:13:47that has water and is fertile?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I don't think it's a reef. My husband does a lot of scuba diving
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and he usually likes to go on reefs.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I don't think it's a delta, I think it is an oasis.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04In the desert, an oasis. Yes! Well done, Christine.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05There you are. One to you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10CJ, Canvey Island is situated in which body of water?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17So this is British geography, isn't it?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Now, we've talked about this before, Dermot.- We have.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25And I've heard many, many wrong answers from you before on it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Canvey Island.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, Lord.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I think it's in the Thames Estuary.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Is that your answer?- Yes!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Of course it is, yes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Christine, New York City is composed of how many boroughs?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Um...
0:14:54 > 0:14:59I don't think it's three. Um...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04This will be a complete guess,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I'm going to go for seven.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08OK, seven boroughs in New York.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You didn't think it was three.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11It's not three, but it is five.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Five boroughs in New York. Eggheads? Quick as a flash.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Queens, The Bronx, Long Island... sorry.- Not Long Island.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Staten Island, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and The Bronx.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27There we are. Right. We'll absorb that and put another question to CJ,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29your second question.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Eritrea is bordered by Sudan, Djibouti and which other country?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The further we move away from Britain, the happier I am.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It's all these border disputes with Ethiopia.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Ethiopia is correct, CJ. He was happy with that.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It means you've got to get this, Christine.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50In 1956, what became the first place
0:15:50 > 0:15:53to be designated an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I haven't a clue.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I don't think it's the Tamar Valley.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I don't really know about the other two,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- but I'm going to go for the Gower Peninsula.- The Gower?- Yeah.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It's the right answer, well done, Christine!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22But CJ wins it if he gets this.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The Tassili Plateau is located in which desert?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I haven't heard of it, but, to me,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35the word sounds slightly more central Asian that African.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39And as two of those deserts are in Africa and one is in central Asia,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44or central to east Asia, I'll go for the Gobi.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46OK, the Gobi Desert.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49The Tassili Plateau is in the Sahara.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56So, it's all square and we go to sudden death, Christine,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59as you've seen in the last two rounds.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Achaia is a historic region of which Mediterranean country?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07A-C-H-A-I-A, Achaia?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I've never heard of that word at all,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14which is why geography is not my specialist subject.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18You're doing all right so far, Christine - sudden death.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's going to be a complete guess.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I'm going to go for Italy, I don't know why.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Achaia...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It's not Italy, Christine, sorry.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Do you know, CJ, if this had been your question?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- I don't, no.- Other Eggheads?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Greece?- It's Greece.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39You win it, then, if you get this, CJ. Which strong wind takes its name
0:17:39 > 0:17:42from the Provencal word for, "Masterly."
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This is one of those that just seems so obvious, doesn't it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'll have to go for mistral.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Mistral. Judith? - Well, I think it must be mistral.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's the right answer.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Well done, CJ. Yes, the mistral, the Provencal word for "Masterly",
0:18:04 > 0:18:06which means the Eggheads really are fighting back.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09CJ you're in the final round. Sorry, Christine.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You did well, what do you mean, you don't know geography?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Into sudden death! Bad luck, you're not in the final round.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23See how dangerous they are when they're behind.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26They're not behind now. The Eggheads have lost one brain
0:18:26 > 0:18:29from the final round, the Leekensians have lost two.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33And our last subject before the final round is sport.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37You can level it up if you're not going to go out on this.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Mum turning to Nick and saying, "It's you."
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- No question there.- Rose or Nick?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Yeah. It's me.- OK, no question about that then, Nick.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK, who would you like to play from the Eggheads,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- it's Chris or Daphne?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- I'm going to play Chris. - Chris, OK, it's sport.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Quite keen, you decided as soon as you knew you had to play.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Let's have you both into the question room.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Nick from the Leekensians and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Nick, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Good luck, Nick. Here's, your first question.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Which legendary sportsman announced his comeback in September 2008,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19three years after winning the last major title of his career?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm fairly sure it's not Michael Jordan,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29because he already had a subsequent...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32he came back to the sport after he retired from the Chicago Bulls.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36And I'm pretty sure it's not Lennox Lewis, he's too old, I think.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm pretty certain it's Lance Armstrong.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Lance Armstrong?- Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45It's the right answer, well done. Cyclist, Lance Armstrong,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47who won the Tour de France in 2005.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Chris, first question to you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Which country won the most gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games?
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Well, the USA got fairly well humiliated, if I remember.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And Russia is not really up there any more with the greats.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04It was the host country, China.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06China, the hosts, yes, it was.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Well, done, Chris. China is the right answer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Nick, which football team were knocked out of the 1992,
0:20:13 > 0:20:181996 and 2000 European Championships on penalties?
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Well, as far as I'm aware, England weren't in the 1992 championships,
0:20:26 > 0:20:27so it can't have been them.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Although they do often get knocked out in penalties.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36And Italy won the Euro 2000, so I'm going to go for Holland.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Holland, the Netherlands...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41is the right answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'm not sure Italy did win.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47That was France, because they won the World Cup
0:20:47 > 0:20:49and then the Euro Championships in 2000.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Reasoning not correct there, but answer is.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's not how you get there.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Absolutely. OK, Chris.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The golfer, Bobby Lock, who won four Open Championships
0:21:01 > 0:21:05between 1949 and 1957, was born in which country?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I don't think he was South African.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I've an idea at the back of my mind he was a New Zealander.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I've got relations in New Zealand,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I think they've mentioned him once or twice.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23OK. New Zealand, Bobby Lock.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Four Opens between '49 and '57.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29And Eggheads? A Kiwi?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- South African.- South African!
0:21:31 > 0:21:35He actually beat my dad's cousin
0:21:35 > 0:21:38into second place in the British Open.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40What year?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I think... - Some time between '49 and '57.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I think it was 1949. Harry Bradshaw.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Was your dad's...- Cousin.- Cousin?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52There we are. And a link to one of the Eggheads.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And a chance for Nick to get into the final round
0:21:54 > 0:21:56if you give me a correct answer here, Nick.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Which legendary West Indian cricketer
0:21:59 > 0:22:03was born in 1936 with six fingers on each hand?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09He was born in 1936.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I think Viv Richards is slightly too young for it to be 1936,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17and similarly Clive Lloyd, so I'm going to go for Gary Sobers.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK, you know your dates, you see.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And you've got the right answer, Gary Sobers.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Let's confirm it, Nick, you're in the final round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27No place for Chris.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's time for the final round,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37which is general knowledge.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:40 > 0:22:42won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So Eddie and Christine from the Leekensians
0:22:44 > 0:22:47and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Rose, Nick and Roger, you're playing to win the Leekensians £1,000.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58CJ, Daphne and Judith,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05the Eggheads' much-tarnished reputation!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10The questions are all general knowledge
0:23:10 > 0:23:11and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Leekensians, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Rose, Nick and Roger, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Shall we stick with first?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Yeah, we'll stick with first. - We'll go first, please.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31OK, sticking with first, let's see how you do. First question, then.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Dienstag is the German name for which day of the week?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I'm pretty sure it's Tuesday.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- If you're happy, I've no idea. - Yes, we're pretty sure it's Tuesday.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Who is the German speaker there?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Erm, I did a GCSE!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Did a bit of it, yeah. Tuesday, Dienstag, is correct.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Yes, well done. OK, a question for the Eggheads.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Corriere Della Sera
0:23:54 > 0:23:58is the best-selling broadsheet in which European country?
0:24:02 > 0:24:03That's Italy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It's the right answer, Italy is correct.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08OK, second question apiece.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Leekensians - The Fight,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13which chronicles Muhammad Ali's famous Rumble In The Jungle
0:24:13 > 0:24:18with George Foreman, is a 1975 book by which writer?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25It's Norman Mailer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- Yeah. OK, are we happy with that? Go on, you say it.- Norman Mailer.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32OK. Norman Mailer, you're going for.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Very sure about that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39OK, two to you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Eggheads - which singer won three awards, including Best Video,
0:24:43 > 0:24:48for Piece Of Me at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards?
0:24:52 > 0:24:57That's the comeback kid herself, Britney Spears.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00That's what you lot are trying to be now, isn't it?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Britney Spears is correct, Eggheads.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Two each.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Leekensians, in which city is The House of the People
0:25:08 > 0:25:10purported to be the second largest
0:25:10 > 0:25:13administrative building in the world?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- You've been to Prague, haven't you? - Well, I've been.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I don't really remember it, I was mostly drunk.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Sounds very socalist, The House of the People.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yes.- But they're communist-type countries.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Yeah. Oh, dear.- I don't know.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35- Which is the biggest city... in terms of size?- I don't know.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- It's going to be a guess, isn't it. - Yeah. Where's Sofia?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- What are we going to go for?- Let's hope it's one of them countries.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- You pays your money, you takes your choice.- What are we going for?
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Sofia or Bucharest?
0:25:47 > 0:25:52But Romania is quite... they used to have, what's his name?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Ceausescu? - He was pretty independent.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- All right, then. - He was a dictator, wasn't he?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Do you want to go for that? - We'll go for that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02We'll go for Bucharest.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06OK, Bucharest. I heard you mention Ceausescu and his ambitions,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and The House of the People.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Is it Bucharest? It's the right answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You worked it out. Well, kind of.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15A bit of a guess. Which means, Eggheads,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19you lose again if you don't give me a correct answer here.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Which author, whose novels include The Dress Maker
0:26:23 > 0:26:27and Every Man For Himself, has been short-listed
0:26:27 > 0:26:30for the Man Booker Prize on five occasions but never won?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- I've never heard of Every Man For Himself, but...- Daphne knows.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44Every Man For Himself was about the Titanic and it is Beryl Bainbridge.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48It is the right answer, Eggheads, yes. Beryl Bainbridge.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52We go to sudden death, which you know all about Leekensians,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55so many of those head-to-heads ending up that way.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00OK, Leekensians, which horticultural market moved from central London
0:27:00 > 0:27:04to Leyton in east London in 1991?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- I don't know. - Is it, erm, something Lane?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Was it Petticoat Lane?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- That's not horticultural, though, is it?- Oh, no.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I can't think of a single horticultural market.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Covent Garden, wasn't that... - It's still there.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Is the market there, though? - Oh, maybe.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Covent Garden is a tourist area now, isn't it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's the only one I can think of.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Shall we say that? - I don't know any thing else, do you?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Go on.- Try that. - We're just guessing, Covent Garden.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's incorrect. It's not Covent Garden.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It's Spitalfields.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Eggheads, a chance for victory.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43What is the name of the warehouse near Heathrow
0:27:43 > 0:27:48from where three tonnes of gold were stolen in 1983.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52The Brinks Mat warehouse.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Brinks Mat, Eggheads, is correct. You've won!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Well, what a bit of quizzing that was!
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Absolutely level pegging right throughout the game.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Bad luck and really, really well played.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12On another day, with a following wind,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I'm sure you'd take these Eggheads, but not today.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's been great to see you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You've covered yourselves in quizzing glory.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24They reign supreme over quiz land once again,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27they'll be relieved to know.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with £1,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations! Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:36 > 0:28:40has the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £2,000 says they don't.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Until then, goodbye.
