0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most
0:00:12 > 0:00:15formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 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 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they won some of the country's
0:00:34 > 0:00:36toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:44are the Lunkheads from Cheshire. The team of colleagues,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47who work an insurance department, dreamt up their name
0:00:47 > 0:00:51after a session of throwing insults at one another. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Hi, I'm Tony, I'm 40 and I'm a Claims Manager.- Hi, I'm Claire,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm 29, and I'm a Claims Consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Colin, I'm 32 and I'm an Investigations Manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm John, I'm 39 and I'm a Technical Negotiator.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 30 years old and I'm a Claims Consultant.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Well, welcome to you, Lunkheads. Sounds like a very colleaguered
0:01:14 > 0:01:17atmosphere in the department with you all insulting each other!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Yes, we have a lot of very healthy disrespect to one another!
0:01:21 > 0:01:27So it's not an homage, it's not a play on the Eggheads' team name?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Well, I think it influenced it somewhat.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Have you done any quizzing together or is it the first time for you?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Well, some of us have quizzed together and some of them
0:01:36 > 0:01:40regularly quiz together and with some of the other guys
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- we've quizzed in company quizzes. - OK, Lunkheads, let's play the game,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47I'll tell you how much you can play for today.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:49 > 0:01:52for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So, Lunkheads, the Eggheads have won the last nine games
0:01:57 > 0:02:01which means £10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Do you want to play?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Yes.- Let's do the first head to head battle, then.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09This subject is Geography. Anyone of you can take part, of course.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Geography.- So you can do it!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15That's me, yeah, fine.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19OK, Colin, and any Egghead you like, first round, of course.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- What about CJ? - Yeah, shall we go for CJ?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26CJ. You've done your work, haven't you?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30CJ's done well on geography if he finds his way to the questions!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Let's have Colin from the Lunkheads and CJ from the Eggheads
0:02:33 > 0:02:37into the question room, please, just to make sure there's no conferring.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So Colin, as you know in Eggheads,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42the main requirement is knowledge but a bit of luck comes into it
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and I believe you're a pretty lucky fellow!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48A trip to Vegas turned a few dollars into quite a few hundred, didn't it?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49It did, yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51We went to Vegas a few months ago
0:02:51 > 0:02:57and we walked into the casino, put 50 down on the roulette
0:02:57 > 0:03:01and about an hour and a half later walked away with £500!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, let's hope that continues today.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Now this has a bearing on whether you choose a set of questions that suit you or not.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Do you want the first set or the second set?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I think I'll go second, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19OK. Hoping the tactic of putting the Egghead in first will work.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21You want an early slip-up, then.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26OK, CJ, in which US state is Disneyland theme park located?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm not sure there's anything of much value in New Jersey
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and there's plenty of Disney stuff with the Bushes in Texas,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39but I think Disneyland is in California.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You think California, Disneyland?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Did you visit it on your trip, Colin,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- you were in Nevada, next door? Did you go into California?- No,
0:03:47 > 0:03:52we, did, but we went to Northern California, San Francisco.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Having given the answer away there,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58yes, of course, it's correct, Disneyland in California. OK, Colin.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01First question for you, then.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Ladywood, Selly Oak and Perry Bar
0:04:04 > 0:04:07are all names applied to Parliamentary constituencies in which city?
0:04:10 > 0:04:15I've never heard of Ladywood, but I've definitely heard of Selly Oak
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and I'm pretty sure it's in Birmingham.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Birmingham, just identifying one of them, it doesn't matter,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23they're all in the same city and that is Birmingham. Well done.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29CJ, second question. Which country has a city
0:04:29 > 0:04:36called London with a population of about 350,000 situated on the Thames River in Middlesex County?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's in Canada, Dermot.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45It's all the same apart from the population. Canada is correct.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Well done, CJ, two to you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52OK, Colin, good start for you. Let's see how you do with your second.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56The US City of Philadelphia is located on which major river?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'm not too sure on this one, actually.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Pretty sure it's not the Missouri - I think that's further south.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10The Hudson River...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I'm not sure if I've heard of the Delaware River.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm going to go for Hudson, but I'm not too confident, actually.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Not too confident on the Hudson.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25You're right not to be. It's not correct, Colin.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It is the Delaware, the one you hadn't heard of.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Well, CJ has a chance to win it, then, if he gets this.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35CJ, the island of Benbecula
0:05:35 > 0:05:38separates which other two Scottish islands?
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Now Benbecula, I think, is the airport of the Orkneys.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think that's the...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54oh, or is it the Shetlands?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I don't think it's the Hebrides, so I'm going to rule out Harris & Lewis,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02so here we are with the inevitable 50/50 chance.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm going to pick the wrong one
0:06:05 > 0:06:08so I'll just jump in and pick it, Jura & Islay.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Juray & Islay, Eggheads? - North and South Uist.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yes, it is, North and South Uist,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18which is very good news for you, Colin, so you're saved,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21but unsaved if you get this wrong, if you know what I mean.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You've got to get this to take us into sudden death.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28What sort of terrain is the Taklamakan region of China?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Well, I've not...
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I've not heard of it. China...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42It's a vast country so there's obviously lots of different...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44it's quite feasible all three of those
0:06:46 > 0:06:49type of terrains could be there.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- I'm going to go for desert.- OK.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Well...is that old roulette wheel luck going to return?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's the right answer, yes, desert.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04OK, we go to sudden death, then, and Colin, that means
0:07:04 > 0:07:09we remove those choices, so just got to hear answers from you both.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12CJ is first. In terms of area,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15which is the second largest of the world's oceans?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It's the Atlantic.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21The Atlantic.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It is the Atlantic, yes, second largest of the world's oceans,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28thank you, CJ. Correct. OK, Colin.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Which Swiss city is famous for its bear-pit where bears have been kept
0:07:33 > 0:07:36on display since 1480?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Well, I've never heard of a bear pit in Switzerland,
0:07:39 > 0:07:45I must say, so I'm just basically going to have to guess a Swiss city,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47so I'm going to say Geneva,
0:07:47 > 0:07:52just probably because it's the largest city to my knowledge.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54OK. Geneva, and bear pits,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58don't know if they HAD them, but they don't now, not Geneva.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Do you know, CJ? You could easily have been put in second?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Well, I would have gone for Zurich
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- because it is the largest city.- It's not Zurich, ether. Other Eggheads?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08It's in the name, Berne.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- It's the name.- Bears and Berne. - Berne, I mean is bear in that?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It is, it's derived from bear, yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17But that ends this round, Colin.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm sorry to say no place for you in the final round.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24CJ, I'm sorry to say, you'll be there. Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Good effort, Colin, just not to be but it's early days.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31The Lunkheads have lost one brain from the final round, the Eggheads are all still there.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34We'll play our next subject then, shall we? This is sport.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Ah, and Colin, you'd have quite fancied this, wouldn't you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Yes, that was my second choice, really.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Oh, well, you know, have you got your plan right?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, Colin can't play, can't play twice in the head to heads.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Who else is it going to be?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think John would probably do that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- That's fine, yeah.- OK, John, and from the Eggheads it can't be CJ. Any of the other four.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Judith, please.- OK, yes, let's have John from the Lunkheads
0:09:00 > 0:09:04and Millionaire winner, Judith, into the question room, please.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06John, now would you like to go first, or second?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'd like to go second, please.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Judith, off-cutters and leg-cutters are skills in which element of cricket?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Well, um...
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I don't think it's bowling and I don't think it's fielding.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I think it must be batting.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- OK.- Er!- Batting, off-cutters and leg-cutters!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'm sorry, Judith, it's not batting, it is...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- do you know, other Eggheads? - Bowling.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's bowling, off-cutters and leg-cutters.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Right, that's the start you wanted, John, that's the first
0:09:43 > 0:09:49bit of it done. The next bit is getting your first question right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Which jockey was riding Nijinsky when he won the 1970 Epsom Derby?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01OK. Well, I think Willie Carson
0:10:01 > 0:10:06would perhaps be too young to have ridden in 1970.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I've heard of Nijinsky.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I have to say my gut feeling is Lester Piggott,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- so I'm going to say Lester Piggott. - OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20What I always call the Goldilocks question - too young, Willie Carson,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23too old, Gordon Richards, and just right, Lester Piggott.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's the right answer. That's if you don't know it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Right, you worked that out very, very well, John. OK, Judith,
0:10:31 > 0:10:37which English Rugby Union Club plays its home matches at Kingston Park?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Which English Rugby Union Club plays its home matches at Kingston Park?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Sale.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Sale?- Yeah.- Kingston Park - is it Sale, other Eggheads?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- No, it's Newcastle. - It's Newcastle, Judith.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Newcastle.- Can I go home, now?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, very soon, I think.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Thank you. Just hurry it up! - I do just need to go through
0:11:02 > 0:11:04the formality of putting another question to John.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK, John, she's got two wrong.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09If you get this, as you know, you're through to the final round.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Alex Ferguson managed the Scottish national football team
0:11:13 > 0:11:14at which World Cup Finals?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Actually, I'm a Manchester United fan, but I'm actually surprised.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I don't recall him actually managing Scotland, but clearly he did,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38because neither the option of none of those dates
0:11:38 > 0:11:43is not available, so he was the Manchester United Manager in 1990,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48um...he joined Manchester United around 1986.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53By process of elimination, I'm going to say Mexico 1986.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56OK, Mexico, 1986.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00And a lot of knowledge there, Manchester United fan,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and got the right answer!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Yes, Mexico 1986.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You're through to the final round. Judith's wish has come true
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and Eggheads, just on Alex Ferguson, presumably then Manchester United
0:12:12 > 0:12:16recruited him from Scotland? He would have gone to the World Cup Finals and joined Manchester United?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Yes, he'd been Aberdeen Manager up to that point, and then managed Scotland, briefly, and then Man U.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24And Man United since then, as identified by John.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Really had to get that, didn't you? You couldn't go to the bar
0:12:26 > 0:12:31with your Man United friends... get that one wrong. And, Judith, yes, your wish has come true.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You can sit out the rest of the game.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You're not playing in the final round.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38John, you will be there, great asset, I think, to the Lunkheads.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well, solid round there by John. Both teams now
0:12:44 > 0:12:48have lost one brain from the final round. Our next subject today
0:12:48 > 0:12:50is Film and Television. Who'd like to play this one?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- I'm going to do this one. - OK, Claire.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59This plan is beginning to work! Who would you like to play?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It can't be Judith or CJ, so that leaves Daphne, Barry or Kevin?
0:13:02 > 0:13:08- We're going to go for Barry. - OK, then. Let's have Claire and Barry in the question room, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Claire, would you like to go first, or second?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I think I'm going to stick with the team strategy and go second.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Worked for John, didn't work for Colin,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20let's hope it works for Claire!
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Barry, which 2001 natural history series narrated by David Attenborough
0:13:25 > 0:13:27concerned life in the world's oceans?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Absolutely wonderful series
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and I watched every episode and it was The Blue Planet.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41The Blue Planet is the right answer. Well, done, Barry. Good start.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45OK, Claire. "Computer says no"
0:13:45 > 0:13:48is a catchphrase used by a character in which TV comedy series?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55OK, well I'm a big fan of all three of these,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57so this shouldn't really be a problem.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'm going to go for Little Britain, Dermot.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Little Britain - "computer says no". Yes, of course it is. There we go.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Barry, second question for you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13In which film did Colin Firth play a character called Paul Ashworth
0:14:13 > 0:14:15who was based on the author, Nick Hornby?
0:14:19 > 0:14:25A lot of Nick Hornby novels there! Which one was it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I'm going to assume Nick Hornby
0:14:29 > 0:14:32is a true football fan because he wrote Fever Pitch
0:14:32 > 0:14:34and go for Fever Pitch.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38And Fever Pitch it is! Fever Pitch, concerning Arsenal.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44OK, well, it's two to Barry and Claire, second question for you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47The actress born Margarita Cansino
0:14:47 > 0:14:51in New York in 1918 is better-known by what name?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57OK, this is a tough one.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I'm not really sure.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I'm going to go...
0:15:00 > 0:15:05I'll go on gut instincts and I'm going to go for Lauren Bacall.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08OK. Lauren Bacall. It's incorrect.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's not Lauren Bacall, Claire. Barry, do you know?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's the lustrous Rita Hayworth.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18It is Rita Hayworth. Rita Hayworth, then, not Lauren Bacall. So, Barry,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22you win the round if you give me a correct answer to this one.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Which television comedy series was the creation
0:15:25 > 0:15:27of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34This is my all-time favourite sci-fi comedy series,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and CJ just told me that it's coming back!
0:15:37 > 0:15:42I couldn't be a more delighted person than I am at this moment. Red Dwarf.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Red Dwarf. Unfortunately it's the way they fall.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This first set of questions has suited you, Barry.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It is the right answer. You are through to the final round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Barry will be back to play in the final round and Claire won't be.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I'm sorry. Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01OK, Lunkheads, at the moment you've lost two brains from the final
0:16:01 > 0:16:03round. The Eggheads have lost one. We're playing our last head to head
0:16:03 > 0:16:06before that final round, so it could be all square
0:16:06 > 0:16:11in terms of players in the final round if you win this Music category.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's Music, and Tony or Steve to play it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- This was going to be Claire's as well!- This is mine, yeah!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's got to be the iPhone...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Yes, I shall take this one.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26OK, Steve, and waiting for you in the question room
0:16:26 > 0:16:28can be either Kevin or Daphne?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Kevin, I think.- Kevin, OK. Let's have the battle
0:16:32 > 0:16:36between Steve and three times World Quiz Champion, Kevin, it's Music.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The question room is the place you should go.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Steve, what are you going to do? Are you going to stick
0:16:42 > 0:16:45with the team plan and go second, or do you want to go first?
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- It's your choice.- I think that I'm actually going to take the first set of questions, if you don't mind.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57OK, here you go, Steve. Good luck with it. The name Father McKenzie
0:16:57 > 0:16:59appears in which song by The Beatles?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Well, Lovely Rita
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and Michelle are songs that I'm not familiar with.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I am familiar with Eleanor Rigby
0:17:14 > 0:17:17so I'm going to say Eleanor Rigby.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Phew! Great sigh of relief from the Lunkheads and me!
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's the right answer, yes. Eleanor Rigby
0:17:22 > 0:17:24with Father McKenzie in there.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29We won't go through the lyrics. Thank goodness that was the one
0:17:29 > 0:17:33you'd heard of! OK, Kevin, the title song of which stage and film
0:17:33 > 0:17:38musical starts with the line "What good is sitting alone in your room?"
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Rather apt, given where you are at the moment, isn't it?- Yes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46The title song of which stage and film musical
0:17:46 > 0:17:49starts with the line "What good is sitting alone in your room?"
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And I'm not wearing fishnet stockings, either!
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- How do we know?- Well, you'll just have to take my word for it, Dermot.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's Cabaret.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Cabaret is the right answer, Kevin.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- There's an image to conjure with, isn't it?- Not really!- No, exactly!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08One each. OK, Steve second question.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10The Hall Of The Mountain King
0:18:10 > 0:18:13is a piece of orchestral music by which composer?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Mmm.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I have heard of this one.
0:18:22 > 0:18:29I must say that I'm being drawn again to the second choice here,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- so I'm going to say Elgar.- Elgar?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34OK. Hall Of The Mountain King.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It's not. It's Grieg.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Grieg, I'm sorry. So a chance for Kevin.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45The Shock Of The Lightning was a UK Top Ten hit single in 2008 for which group?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I've seen the title.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I've just got to try and remember which of them it was.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Oasis have had their... Their new album is Dig Out Your Soul.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Now was that released as a single, or did they have this?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'm going to say Oasis.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's the right answer, Kevin. It means you've got
0:19:10 > 0:19:13to get this then, Steve.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Which musician used his nickname, The Father Of The Blues,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19as the title of his 1941 autobiography?
0:19:26 > 0:19:32I fear this is to be a complete shot in the dark, unfortunately.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I'm going to have to say here...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38WC Handy.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42You've got to get it right... and you have done! WC Handy,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44shot in the dark, you've landed it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48OK, you've just got to hope that Kevin doesn't know this, then.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Which Russian composer conducted at the opening concert
0:19:51 > 0:19:54of New York's Carnegie Hall in 1891?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Right, well it's not Glazunov.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I'm just trying to think.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I know that Tchaikovsky certainly visited America
0:20:08 > 0:20:10and that was towards the end of his life,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14that was within a couple of years of the end of his life.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Rimsky-Korsakov, I'm not aware of him
0:20:18 > 0:20:22having visited the States.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I know Tchaikovsky did, so I'm going to have to go for Tchaikovsky.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Tchaikovsky,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31conductor in the Carnegie Hall in 1891, the opening concert...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33is the right answer, Kevin.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37You've won the round. Not to be for you, Steve, sorry about that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:20:49 > 0:20:52won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Claire,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Colin and Steve from the Lunkheads and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:55 > 0:20:56would you leave the studio.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Well, Tony and John,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02that leaves you playing to win the Lunkheads £10,000.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Barry, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:21:06 > 0:21:08the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11As usual, I'll ask three questions in turn.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13The questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:13 > 0:21:14and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Lunkheads, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And, Tony and John, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We'd like to go second, please.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Well, off we go then.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Eggheads, final round.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Your first question.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35The masthead of which daily British newspaper features an eagle carrying a rolled-up paper?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The masthead of which daily British newspaper
0:21:41 > 0:21:43features an eagle carrying a rolled-up paper?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Independent.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49That's The Independent.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Yes, it is, Eggheads.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Correct, one to you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56John and Tony,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58which 20th century Prime Minister
0:21:58 > 0:22:02was born in Huddersfield in 1916?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Which 20th century Prime Minister was born in Huddersfield in 1916?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Well, we've got to go for somebody with a northern accent.- Yep.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So, I think Clement Attlee is ruled out that way.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yeah, he would have been too young as well.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Anthony Eden, I think he was
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- a bit posh, too. - He was the early 50s, I think.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Yeah, and I think the one that fits my bill is Harold Wilson.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I would agree entirely, yep.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Yeah, I think Harold Wilson.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- That your answer?- Yes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Harold Wilson. Eggheads?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Yep.- Absolutely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42It's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45OK, second question for each team.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48This is for the Eggheads. Dead Poets Society,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Witness and The Truman Show are films by which director?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Dead Poets Society, Witness and The Truman Show
0:23:01 > 0:23:04are films by which director?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That would be Peter Weir.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Peter Weir is correct, Eggheads.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14OK, second question for the Lunkheads.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Who wrote the novel, A History Of Mr Polly,
0:23:17 > 0:23:18that was first published in 1910?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Who wrote A History Of Mr Polly
0:23:24 > 0:23:27that was first published in 1910?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I don't think it's Rudyard Kipling.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'm not sure. I mean you associate
0:23:35 > 0:23:38HG Wells with science fiction, but I've a feeling
0:23:38 > 0:23:41he wrote other genres as well.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I was originally erring towards Evelyn Waugh
0:23:44 > 0:23:45but I will...
0:23:45 > 0:23:50I think we'll go for HG Wells. I think you're right.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Seeing as you're captain...- OK. - I'd like you to decide!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Right. You know what I think.- Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Well, we've got to go for HG Wells because if I go
0:23:58 > 0:24:00for Waugh and I'm wrong, I'll look an idiot.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So what's it to be then, guys?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I think we'll go for HG Wells.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07OK, HG Wells, all kinds of considerations
0:24:07 > 0:24:09being taken into account there!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And ending up with...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- the right answer.- Yes!
0:24:14 > 0:24:15The History Of Mr Polly,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17well done.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Got it in the end, so it's 2-2.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Eggheads,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23cassiterite
0:24:23 > 0:24:25is the major ore of which metal?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Cassiterite is the major ore of which metal?
0:24:32 > 0:24:37It's tin, and didn't Britain used to be called The Cassiterides
0:24:37 > 0:24:39or something like the Tin Islands...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Tin Isles.- ..by the Romans,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44because of the tin that was here.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49OK. Cassiterite is the major ore of tin, it's correct, Eggheads.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Tony and John, you need
0:24:51 > 0:24:53to get this question right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Here you go.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57What is the name of the tough regime of surveillance
0:24:57 > 0:24:59to which the young Queen Victoria
0:24:59 > 0:25:01was subjected in an attempt to keep her
0:25:01 > 0:25:03dependent on her mother?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10What is the name of the tough regime
0:25:10 > 0:25:14of surveillance to which the young Queen Victoria was subjected
0:25:14 > 0:25:18in an attempt to keep her dependent on her mother?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- My thoughts... - I'm glad you've got some thoughts!
0:25:21 > 0:25:25I have got thoughts, whether they're sensible thoughts or not
0:25:25 > 0:25:27will yet to be seen, aren't they?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I would discount Camberwell System.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- I don't think...- Why?- I don't think
0:25:31 > 0:25:34the royals would have anything to do with Camberwell.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Who was Camberwell?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36It's a place in London.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't think I would go anywhere near it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I have a feeling it would be the Kensington System,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45because only that
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Queen Victoria's mother, I assume, would have lived
0:25:48 > 0:25:51in Kensington Palace,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54not Buckingham Palace,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so that's the only reason why
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I would think Kensington System on that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- That's fine by me.- My only thought.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- That'll do me.- Go on.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07That's what we'll go for.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- What is it?- The Kensington System.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Gone for the Kensington System?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Some interesting logic there
0:26:13 > 0:26:15which has landed you the right answer!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18That was really good! Very good reasoning.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It takes us to Sudden Death
0:26:21 > 0:26:22so as you saw before,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25we remove those choices and put this to the Eggheads.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Who resigned as the Governor
0:26:27 > 0:26:32of the remote Russian province of Chukotka in July 2008?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Chukotka, C-H-U-K-O-T-K-A?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Roman Abramovich.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It is the correct answer, Eggheads,
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Roman Abramovich
0:26:42 > 0:26:45resigned as the Governor
0:26:45 > 0:26:48of Chukotka in July 2008, so back to you,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50then, Tony and John.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Great quizzing. Here we are, another question.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55A reliquary, said to contain
0:26:55 > 0:27:00the bones of the three wise men, is in a cathedral in which German city?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Is there any reason why they'd be in a particular city?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06There would have to be a famous cathedral,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08a famous medieval cathedral.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11They're all medieval, the Hamburgs and the...
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Hamburg, I like the sound of Hamburg. I might come back to that.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20I also like the sound of, in my head, I like the sound of...
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Munich, but I think...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I don't know about Munich,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29but I like Hamburg, Hamburg.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I can feel people going to Hamburg, I don't know why.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Should we say what I just thought before and have forgotten now...
0:27:39 > 0:27:40- Hamburg, please.- Hamburg?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44The three wise men, the bones of the three wise men...
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Well, CJ, you lived in Germany for some time. Is it Hamburg?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- I don't think so.- Cologne.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Cologne.- It's Cologne.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56It's Cologne, which you weren't thinking about, which means,
0:27:56 > 0:27:57of course, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Tony and John,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05really bad luck there.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07You worked really well together.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Most entertaining, in the final round. I know it was hard work
0:28:10 > 0:28:13but you working those out, the Kensington System,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16fantastic answer and thank you for playing today.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's a pleasure to meet all the Lunkheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I don't think you'll call each other lunkheads
0:28:20 > 0:28:23after this, I think you all played really, really well.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what is natural. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28You won't be going home
0:28:28 > 0:28:30with the £10,000 which means
0:28:30 > 0:28:33the money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains
0:28:38 > 0:28:39to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£11,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
