0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is...can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:29 > 0:00:31possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's
0:00:34 > 0:00:36toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And taking on our awesome
0:00:38 > 0:00:41quiz champions today are the Monkeys from Lincoln.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The team are members of the Monks Road Working Men's Club where
0:00:44 > 0:00:47team captain, Dennis, is the president.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Dennis.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54I'm 74 and I'm a retired salesman.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Tim. I'm 31 and I'm a handyman.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Stuart, I'm 33 and I work in retail.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I'm Neil, I'm 45 and I'm a factory supervisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Gary. I'm 41 and I'm a general assistant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Welcome, Monkeys. Dennis, shall I call you president, Mr President?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14HE LAUGHS Just call me Dennis.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16That will do. How long have you been president,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and do you have a fixed term?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Well, I've been president for a couple of three years now.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I was the secretary prior to that.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28I retired, but I got a bit bored.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30What goes on there? Quizzing, clearly.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Well, yes, quizzing, we have football teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We have dominoes. We have darts competitions.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We have a big concert room.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46sometimes on Sundays and other special occasions.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, we're always doing something.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Good to see you Monkeys.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Let me tell you what's been going on in Eggheads. Let's play.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59If they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:59 > 0:02:01the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07Monkeys, the Eggheads have won their last 11 games, which means £12,000
0:02:07 > 0:02:09says you can't beat the Eggheads. Let's start.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13This is our first head to head, chance to knock an Egghead out.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's Food & Drink.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Go on, Tim, you take it.- You want me to go for it?- Yes, please.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- I'll do it.- We're gonna take Tim.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24OK, Tim, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Any one of them you like. - I will take on Barry.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Barry, OK. Let's have them, Tim and Egghead Barry into the question
0:02:32 > 0:02:36room please to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Tim, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I would like to go first, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Food & Drink, Tim good luck with it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Beluga is an expensive form of which delicacy?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Actually I know it because I actually quite like it.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Because it's on the menu at the old working men's club?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- THEY LAUGH - I wish!
0:03:02 > 0:03:07No, my girlfriend absolutely hates it, it's caviar.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Caviar?- Yeah.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13It is indeed. Beluga caviar, well done, good start.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Barry, in which type of restaurant are breadsticks often served as an appetiser?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26In which type of restaurant are breadsticks often served
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- as an appetiser?- Breadsticks are often served in Italian restaurants.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34They are! That's the right answer. Well done, Barry. OK, Tim...
0:03:34 > 0:03:39What is the term for a wide, deep bowl used for serving soups?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Not a strong subject for me this.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50It would be a guess.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's the only one I've heard of, which is a tureen.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm going to say tureen.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59A tureen, is for serving soup, yeah, right answer. Well done.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Two out of two.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Barry, Olifants River
0:04:06 > 0:04:10and Piketberg are wine producing regions in which country?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Olifants River and Piketberg
0:04:18 > 0:04:20are wine producing regions in which country?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23They're certainly not Bulgarian.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I think I know the wine producing areas in New Zealand and those
0:04:26 > 0:04:29don't ring a bell, so I shall say South Africa.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39Tim, in which country did the alcoholic spirit Jenever originate?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47It sounds Geneva,
0:04:47 > 0:04:53my geography is not up to much and I'm not sure where Geneva is.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm eliminating Greece.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm going to say the Netherlands.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02OK, do you think Geneva is in the Netherlands?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- I'm not sure. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Well, I think Geneva is in Switzerland.- It's a random guess.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- But it's the right answer. - Oh, excellent!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14THEY LAUGH
0:05:14 > 0:05:18In other words, just as well you didn't know where Geneva was.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yes, just as well I didn't know where Geneva was.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22You were barking up the wrong tree with that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Barry, Pave d'Auge from the northern part of France is a type of what?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Pave d'Auge. Hmmm.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37France is famous as General De Gaulle once said,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41"How can I govern a country with 246 different types of cheeses?"
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I'm hoping it's one of those 246 types of cheese.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yes it is! Well done, Barry.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well worked out. Pave d'Auge.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54OK it's three all. Great quizzing from you both.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Tim, we go to sudden death now.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59We're removing those choices that you've been working
0:05:59 > 0:06:03so well with, especially that last answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Just got to tell me straight, without a look at any choices.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10If you have to guess it's a lot harder.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Here you go, you won't have to guess this. For what does
0:06:13 > 0:06:15the letter T stand for in TVP,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18the name of a commonly used meat substitute?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's TVP, what does the T stand for?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's a meat substitute?
0:06:23 > 0:06:29The only meat substitute I actually know is tofu.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'd guess at tofu.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's a good guess. It's not the right answer, Tim.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But tofu,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40not unreasonable to think that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Do you know Barry, because I'll always ask you first, you could
0:06:43 > 0:06:45have had this question if Tim had put you in first.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50It stands for textured vegetable protein.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Textured vegetable protein.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So nothing there for Tim, but it's not over, Tim.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Barry has to get this if he is to win the round.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Barry, what is the name taken from the French verb to preserve
0:07:03 > 0:07:05for duck or other meat cooked
0:07:05 > 0:07:09very slowly and stored in a pot covered in its own fat.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I didn't know that came from
0:07:11 > 0:07:15a French verb to preserve, but meat stored in its own fat is a confit.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It is confit,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23it's correct which means, Barry, you've won the round. Bad luck, Tim.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Good quizzing, as I said there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Good guess at TVP. Just didn't land it,
0:07:27 > 0:07:32which means Barry is in the final round and no place for you,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36sorry to say. Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39After that round, one Monkey down, no Eggheads gone yet.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Second round coming up.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44This one is Music.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Who wants to play? Can't be Tim.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- I think that's you, Neil?- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Neil.- Yep, Neil.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53OK, Neil, and which Egghead would you like to play, it can't be Barry.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Any of the other four you like?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I think I'd like to take Chris please.- Chris, on music, OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Let's have Neil and Chris into the question room then.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Neil, first or second, do you want to kick
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- off or not?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Good luck, Neil.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16First question then, what word is used to describe the speed at which
0:08:16 > 0:08:18a piece of music should be played?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26The clef is a sign at the start of a piece of music, I seem to
0:08:26 > 0:08:29remember that from school.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I believe the pitch is the height of the tone, so I would
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- think it's got to be tempo.- Tempo?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Right answer, yes, good start.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44Chris, Club Tropicana was a UK hit single in the 1980s for which duo?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I can't see it being Bros.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Surely it wasn't Erasure.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It must have been Wham! George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Wham! it is, well done, Chris.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Back to you, Neil.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08In 1972, Virginia Plain became the first UK hit single for which group?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I'm pleased it's a '70s question because I do quite like the '70s.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I know it wasn't 10cc.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think it was a little early for Genesis.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I would assume it would be Roxy Music.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's the right answer, yes, Roxy Music.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35Chris, who had a UK top 40 hit single in 1975 with Stand By Me,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38originally a hit for Ben E King in 1961?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It wouldn't have been John Lennon, surely.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It does sound a bit more like Elton John, so I'll say Elton John.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57OK. It's not Elton John. It's John Lennon.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03Stand By Me in 1975, a cover of the Ben E King song from '61.
0:10:03 > 0:10:10Neil, which American singer was born Henry John Deutschendorf Junior?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I can understand why he changed his name.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I think I'll go with Pete Seiger.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32OK, Henry John Deutschendorf Junior, well he kept bits of it in the name,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37he kept middle name, John Denver.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41OK, well, you still win if Chris doesn't get this though.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Chris, the Canticle Nunc Dimittis is also known by what other name?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Lord now let thy servant depart in peace.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59It's not the Song of Solomon because that's a book of the Bible. I don't
0:10:59 > 0:11:02think it's the Song of Sarah, so it's got to be the Song of Simeon.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Nunc Dimittis is also known as the Song of Simeon.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07It's the right answer, Chris.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11So we go to sudden death as you saw happened to Tim there, Neil.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I can't offer you any more choices to look at. Here's your question.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Which opera by Wagner set in the 13th century features
0:11:20 > 0:11:22the Roman Goddess Venus and the Pope?
0:11:23 > 0:11:29Right...as soon as you said the word "opera" I froze.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Not my style of music, I'm afraid.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Erm...
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Tosca, how's that?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Tosca, it's an opera, not the answer though.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Our Wagner correspondent, Chris, will no doubt furnish the answer.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- It's Tannhauser.- Tannhauser,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51that's correct but no points for it because it wasn't your question.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57OK, Chris, which Austrian American composer created a new method
0:11:57 > 0:12:00of composition based on a row or series
0:12:00 > 0:12:03of 12 turns, a method known as atonality?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That was Arnold Schoenberg.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Arnold Schoenberg is correct, Chris!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You're through to the final round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Bad luck, Neil.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Great performance, took him all the way, but he got you in the end.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23It means you won't be in the final round. Would you both please
0:12:23 > 0:12:25come back and join your teams.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Monkeys as it stands now, you've lost two brains
0:12:28 > 0:12:32from the final round. The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The next subject is History.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Who'd like to play this? Dennis, Stuart or Gary?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- I'm playing it.- OK, Stuart,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Chris and Barry have played so Daphne, CJ
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- or Kevin?- I'll take Kevin. - Kevin, OK.- Brave man.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Kevin, three times world quiz champion and Stuart
0:12:51 > 0:12:54into the question room, please.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Stuart, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I would like to go second.
0:13:01 > 0:13:08OK Kevin, the Mitsubishi A6M, a single seat fighter aircraft
0:13:08 > 0:13:09used to great effect by the Japanese
0:13:09 > 0:13:14in World War II was commonly known to Allied forces by what other name?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21It was the main fighter for the Japanese, it was called the Zero.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26OK , Mitsubishi A6M, otherwise known as the Zero is correct, Kevin.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32Stuart, your first question. The 1777 Battle of Brandywine occurred
0:13:32 > 0:13:34during which period of conflict?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45It's a bit too early for the Napoleon wars,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49it was after the War of Spanish Succession, so I'm going for
0:13:49 > 0:13:53the American War of Independence.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Good stuff there Stuart, it's the right answer.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well done, American War of Independence,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01the Battle of Brandywine. Kevin, second question.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Whose theological college for poor students received
0:14:04 > 0:14:08the endorsement of Pope Alexander IV
0:14:08 > 0:14:11in 1259 and was the core of what would become
0:14:11 > 0:14:13the University of Paris?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24That part is still called the Sorbon.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's Robert de Sorbon.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Robert de Sorbon is the right answer, Kevin. Yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Two to you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Stuart, from the mid-1930s to 1945,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38what role did Albert Speer fulfil for Adolf Hitler?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46He wasn't his speech writer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49He certainly wasn't his scientific advisor.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54He was his architect for all his designs for Berlin in the future,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57so I'm going for his architect.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Architect, yes! It's the right answer, well done.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Kevin, what was the code name of the war rooms located
0:15:07 > 0:15:10in Dollis Hill in North London, which were an alternative meeting
0:15:10 > 0:15:14place for Winston Churchill's Government during World War II?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I don't actually know this one.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24But there is one of those that...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29sort of jumped out at me as ringing a bell of some kind.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Of course it could be in relation to something else.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41It's not Poplar. It could be Pilgrim, but I'm going to say Paddock.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Paddock?- Mmm.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47That's the right answer! Paddock, yes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Well you've got to get this then, Stuart.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54In June 1886, who married Francis Fulsome and thus became
0:15:54 > 0:15:58the first US president to have a wedding in the White House?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08American presidents aren't my
0:16:08 > 0:16:10best subject.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17I'm going to go for William Howard Taft.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'm afraid we have to end it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's not correct. It's Grover Cleveland, Stuart.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Would you have been all right with that one, Kevin? Did you know that?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Yes.- If you had been put in second just out of interest.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34American presidents catching Stuart out, very, very strong player there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Stuart you came up against Kevin, unfortunately,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and have come off second best. You won't be playing in the final round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45OK well as it stands now the Monkeys have lost
0:16:45 > 0:16:49three brains from the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Our last subject is Arts & Books.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Can they knock an Egghead out on this?
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Can, more specifically, Dennis or Gary do it? Arts & Books.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02This is going to be me. We're going keep Gary back for the last round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08- He's the strongest player on general knowledge.- OK, all right, then.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Dennis, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14The only two that haven't played so far are Daphne or CJ.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- I'll take CJ.- OK, let's have President Dennis
0:17:18 > 0:17:23against Egghead CJ. Into the question room, please.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Dennis, let's play Arts & Books.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I'm going to get it out of the way and go first.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Good luck.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41Which literary character creates a poem that starts,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43"How sweet to be a cloud floating in the blue,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46"every little cloud always sings aloud?"
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm going to discount the White Rabbit,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57that's from Alice in Wonderland.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Never read Winnie the Pooh, but it sounds as though it
0:18:00 > 0:18:04might have been Jemima Puddle-Duck.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Its author is Winnie the Pooh.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Winnie the Pooh.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12So, nothing there for Dennis.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Over to CJ. "Now I shall go to sleep, good night" were reported to
0:18:16 > 0:18:21be the last words of which English poet before his death in 1824?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm trying to do this on the date,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I don't know the quote.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Byron.- Byron, "Now I shall go to sleep, good night."
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's the right answer, CJ.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You've got it. Dennis, good luck with this one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Who wrote the 1949 novel about drug addiction,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49The Man With The Golden Arm,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52which was later adapted as a film starring Frank Sinatra.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I'm looking at the names and they're looking back at me
0:19:04 > 0:19:11and I'm not actually filling myself with any confidence here,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14but I think I'm going to go for Nelson Algren.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18OK and that's the right answer, well done, Dennis.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You needed to get that.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24CJ, which French painter is buried on Hiva Oa,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28one of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I presume it's Paul Gauguin seeing as he
0:19:35 > 0:19:37lived so much of his life in Tahiti?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Gauguin, that is correct, CJ,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43which means, Dennis, you need to get this right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46At the beginning of Shakespeare's Macbeth,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Macbeth returns from defeating the forces of which country?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Yes... - HE LAUGHS
0:19:55 > 0:19:58As you can gather it's not
0:19:58 > 0:20:01my strongest subject, by many a mile.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I'm leaning towards Denmark, but
0:20:07 > 0:20:09something tells me I'm leaning the wrong way.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So I'm going down the middle and going for Norway.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Something told you you were leading the wrong way and you've given me
0:20:16 > 0:20:18the correct answer!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Good instinct there, Dennis, but
0:20:21 > 0:20:23just that shaky start has given CJ a gap here.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29He can exploit it and get through to the final round if he gets this one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Which writer won a second Booker Prize
0:20:32 > 0:20:35in 1999 for the novel Disgrace?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Well, I should know this straight away and I don't.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Coetzee certainly won more than one booker.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I should be able to remember the titles and I can't, but I know
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Coetzee won more than one, so I will go for JM Coetzee.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58JM Coetzee is correct CJ. You're through to the final round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Dennis, you were just getting into your stride there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04We bid the President farewell. Thanks for playing,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06but you're not in the final round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Would you please come back and join your teams.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:21:18 > 0:21:20won't be allowed to take part.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Dennis, Tim, Stuart, and Neil from the Monkeys,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27would you leave the studio please.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32So Gary, you're playing to win the Monkeys £12,000. Kevin, CJ, Daphne,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Chris and Barry you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You are allowed to confer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Gary, the question is, is your one brain
0:21:48 > 0:21:50better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57First question, good luck.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Odie is the name of a pet dog in which American comic strip?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Erm, it's not Peanuts, I'm sure it's not Peanuts.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm sure it's Garfield.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'm going to go for Garfield.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Garfield, it's not a common comic strip in this country, is it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21There's been a film, have you seen the film?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- No.- No.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25It's the right answer anyway.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Odie is in Garfield.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35So Eggheads in which city is Robert Gordon University based?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41In which city is Robert Gordon University based?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43That's Aberdeen.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Aberdeen? It's the right answer.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Yes Eggheads, one to you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Back to you then, Gary. In which 1950 film does the character
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Lin McAdam, played by James Stewart,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59shoot a stamp attached to a coin during a competition?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Westerns, erm...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Not keen on Westerns?- No.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15If my dad was here, he was the reserve, it would be him.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21His favourite subject. But I've got a feeling it's Winchester 73.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Is that your answer?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's a pure guess.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Yeah, Winchester 73.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It's the right answer, Gary! It is correct. Well done.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Something must have stuck there.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Winchester 73 is a gun.- A rifle.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- I think that's what it must have been.- That's it, well worked out.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Eggheads, you're behind.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44The Gordon Bennett Cup, first held in 1906,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46is an event in which activity?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53The Gordon Bennett Cup, first held in 1906,
0:23:53 > 0:23:54is an event in which activity?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That's hot air ballooning, Dermot.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01That is correct, Eggheads. Do they call it the Gordon Bennett Cup
0:24:01 > 0:24:05because when you get up so high you look out and say "Gordon Bennett?"
0:24:05 > 0:24:10No Gordon Bennett was a newspaper proprietor who put the money up.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11OK.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Gordon Bennett Cup, hot air ballooning, so it's two-all.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Gary, you've got to the point at which you win the game if you get
0:24:18 > 0:24:23this correct and the Eggheads get their third one incorrect.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So it could be worth a lot of money this question. Here it is.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29What two words are used in marching to describe the alignment of one
0:24:29 > 0:24:32person with the person to the side and their alignment
0:24:32 > 0:24:34with the person in front?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43What two words are used in marching to describe the alignment
0:24:43 > 0:24:46of one person with the person to the side and their alignment
0:24:46 > 0:24:47with the person in front?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50There are the choices.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I should know this, I was in the Army cadets for a while.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You must have done your fair share of marching.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Yeah, they did.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Chain and border, don't sound right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Flank and ladder..
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Well, I've got a feeling it's dress and cover.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Is that your answer? - Yes. I'm going to go for that.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Something stuck there from Winchester 73, something stuck here
0:25:12 > 0:25:15again from all that marching, dress and cover is correct!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Gary, great performance.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Well, Eggheads,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Gary gets the money, the Monkeys get the money if you don't get this.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30In the game of Scrabble, what is the term for when a player uses all
0:25:30 > 0:25:34seven of their letters in one go, thus earning an extra 50 points?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40In the game of Scrabble what is the term for when a player uses all
0:25:40 > 0:25:43seven of their letters in one go, thus earning an extra 50 points.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- There's only one Scrabble term there.- Yeah, OK.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Bingo. - Bingo is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56So you're not saying bingo yet, Gary, but we go to sudden
0:25:56 > 0:26:00death as you saw your friends go to in those head to heads they played.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06So here you go. Your question, which French term translates as
0:26:06 > 0:26:11black beast and refers to someone or something that is strongly detested?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15French for black is noir. Beast?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24I'm getting the French for black, noir,
0:26:24 > 0:26:25but nothing is going with it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- HE SIGHS - Somebody strongly detested.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Someone or something that is strongly detested.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37I really can't think of anything other than
0:26:37 > 0:26:40malaprop, so I'm going for that, I don't know why.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44OK, malaprop, I see you getting mal, yeah,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47bad, but it's not the right answer, Gary.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It is bete noire.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Bete noire. Direct translation.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Beast - bete, noire - black.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59But, listen, it's not over, the Eggheads HAVE to get this correct
0:26:59 > 0:27:01to win the game. If not we play on.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Eggheads when given to a member of the Army, the Medal of Honour,
0:27:05 > 0:27:12the foremost US military decoration, comprises in part a bronze star,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15suspended from a bar bearing what word?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Is it silence?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23The V on the Victoria Cross is for Valour.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27It's one word.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The VC stands for valour, I can't think of anything else,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33so we'll just say valour, spelt the American way of course.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35THEY CONFER
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I honestly don't know.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38We'll go for that.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41We will go for valour.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Oh! Sorry.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Talking of medals, doesn't Gary deserve one for that performance?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57So, so close. Three out of three,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01into sudden death and just went blank there really on bete noire.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Gary, hold your head very, very high, sir.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06You played really, really well, as did the other Monkeys.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10There were some great head-to-heads there from all the guys there in
0:28:10 > 0:28:14actual fact. It just didn't go for you on the day. Thanks very much
0:28:14 > 0:28:18for coming down to tell us all about the Monks Road Working Men's Club.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You'll let us in at the door if we're not members
0:28:20 > 0:28:22if we're passing through Lincoln?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Yeah my dad's on the door, he's the doorman.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home
0:28:30 > 0:28:33with the £12,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Eggheads congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Do join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:40 > 0:28:44to defeat the Eggheads, £13,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye.
