0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they are Goliaths in the world of TV
0:00:33 > 0:00:35quiz shows, they are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are Alma Mater.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43The team used to quiz together at the Cocked Hat in Coventry,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47and the team's name is in honour of the landlady, Alma,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50who used to run the pub. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Nigel, I'm 54 and I'm a tachograph analyst.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Jane, I'm 51 and I'm a chemist worker.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Darren, I'm 26 and a post office clerk.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Bob, I'm 59 and I'm self-employed builder.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Dean, I'm 45 and a self-employed plumber.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome to you. This team name normally refers to
0:01:11 > 0:01:15people who've been to the same university together.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17How does it translate in Latin?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Nourishing mother. - Nurturing...nourishing mother.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Nurturing, nourishing mother.- That's Alma to you. Why isn't she here?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27She's running a pub.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Is it a good pub?- Yes, of course.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- And what's the quiz like? - The quiz is very good.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37There's probably about eight or nine regular teams that get
0:01:37 > 0:01:44in there, and we seem to sort of share the winnings round every...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- month or so.- I see, so it's pretty evenly balanced?- It is, yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Best of luck, Alma Mater. Let me tell you what's been going on.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:01:57 > 0:01:58rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So Alma Mater, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06which means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11The first head-to-head battle is on Science. Who'd like to play this?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13It could be any one of you, it's the first round.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- I'm happy to.- If you're happy to do it.- If you're happy, Nigel.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I'll do science. - All right, Nigel, it's you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Who do you want to play from the Eggheads team?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Who are you going to take on?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I think I'd like to try somebody new to me, anyway, Barry.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Barry. OK. Let's have Nigel and Barry into the question room,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34please, to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK, Nigel. I'm sure you know the way it works.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43To remind you, you'll get three multiple choice questions to start.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46If it's all square after that we move to sudden death.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And you get to choose, as the challenger, do you want to start
0:02:49 > 0:02:51or let the Egghead begin?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, best of luck, Nigel. Off we go. It's Science.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Which is the smallest and most common bat in the UK?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09OK.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18The Greater Horseshoe bat suggests that there's a Lesser Horseshoe bat,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22so it's either out of the Long-eared or the Pipistrelle.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And the Pipistrelle to me sounds the smallest,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26so I'll go with the Pipistrelle.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Smallest and most common bat in the UK is the Pipistrelle, well done.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And a good start there by Nigel for Alma Mater.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Barry, in which year did Yang Liwei
0:03:35 > 0:03:38become the first Chinese astronaut in outer space?
0:03:42 > 0:03:451963 is much too early,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49so it's 19... Is it '83? 83...
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And 2003.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Let me think. The Chinese have had a space programme for a few years, but
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I don't think they've had one for 24 years. That seems a long time.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08However, they recently put a space station up, which tends to suggest
0:04:08 > 0:04:10they may have had one for longer.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So I'm puzzling on this one.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16They have been putting up satellites since the '80s, but I don't think
0:04:16 > 0:04:18they've been putting anybody into
0:04:18 > 0:04:21space since 2003, so that's my answer.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24OK, the latest one there, 2003. It's the right answer, Barry.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26You worked it out.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28OK, Nigel, second question.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32In the human body, what is measured in millimetres of mercury?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Body mass index is...
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I believe body mass index is to do with your weight against your height.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Blood pressure is...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I don't believe it's that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Again, I'm going to go with the one on the right,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02which is insulin levels.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06OK, insulin levels measured in millimetres of mercury.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08That's the wrong answer, Nigel.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14It is blood pressure. In millimetres of mercury.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15So, Barry, a chance for the lead.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20The prehistoric creature known a pliosaur lived in what environment?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I seem to recall there was a very famous fossil collector,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29who was a 12-year-old girl called Mary Anning
0:05:29 > 0:05:33who discovered the full fossil of a pliosaur back in the 1870s,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37which started the modern craze for fossil collecting in the UK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40And the creature she found certainly lived in the sea.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42In the sea is correct, a pliosaur found in the sea.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47OK, well, Nigel, you need to get this then.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's the way the question's fall!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52The British scientist Mary Anning,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55born in 1799 is best known for her work collecting what?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Unbelievable!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02They are random, these questions. We don't know what's coming up.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Somehow I can't believe that she would have been famous collecting
0:06:06 > 0:06:10spiders, or carnivorous plants, cos there's not very many of them.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So I would say it's got to be fossils.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It most certainly has. That's the right answer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well done, Nigel.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, be careful what you give away, Eggheads!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Knowledge is a valuable commodity.
0:06:24 > 0:06:30But, Nigel has slipped up on one and gives you a chance to win it, Barry.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32On the microscopic level,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36the stone opal is composed of many tiny spheres of what?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44It's certainly not graphite, because graphite is an allotrope of carbon,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47it's another form of carbon, as indeed is diamond.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51And I don't think it's limestone because it is calcium carbonate,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55and I can't imagine opal being that, you can't polish limestone.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59So I would imagine that opal is formed from silica.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04OK, well I'm sure you understand the logic there, Barry.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You lost me halfway through that explanation.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's the right answer, yes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Silica is correct, which means bad luck then, Nigel,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16that one in the middle cost you a place in the final round.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK, as it stands, Alma Mater lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The Eggheads are all still there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Next head-to-head, this one is going to be Sport.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Who'd like to play this?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I take it is going to be me, then? - I think it's you, Darren.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- It's going to be me.- OK, Darren.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?- Er, Judith, please.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Judith.- Make my day.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Said with such sincerity, eh?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Let's have Darren and Judith in the question room.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Darren, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55First, please.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Here you go.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01In which year was the Rugby Union player Jonny Wilkinson born?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Well, he's not younger than me, so it's not 85.
0:08:13 > 0:08:1970...makes him... 70 is too early, so I believe it's 1979.
0:08:19 > 0:08:2379, you've worked it out, is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Judith, what is the name of the area that hosted the aquatic
0:08:28 > 0:08:30events at the Beijing Olympics?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I think it was the Water Cube.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- The Cube?- Yes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Is the right answer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Yes, Judith.- Phew.- Indeed. One each.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Darren, what is the usual term given to the mother of a racehorse?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Horse racing is the one subject I don't like.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I mean, I watched the Grand National last night.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Mother of a racehorse.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Out of all of those,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'll go straight down the middle and go for nurse.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- No, it's not. Judith, you'll know. - It's a dam.- It's a dam.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The usual name for the mother of a racehorse.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Here's your question, Judith, a chance for the lead.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22What nationality is footballer
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Javier Mascherano who signed for Liverpool in 2007?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Could be any of those.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- That's why they're there. - Yeah, that's why they're there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Set to test one.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Hmm. Javier...
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Mascherano.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, that... That sounds vaguely Brazilian.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think it could be a Portuguese pronunciation.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55So I'm going to throw caution to the wind and say Brazilian.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58OK. Throwing caution to the wind.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02The correct answer to the winds - he is Argentinian.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05So nothing there. Let off, Darren, all square.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07This could win the round for you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Jason Crump and Nicki Pedersen have been world champions in which sport?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's another sport I follow.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We have our own team, and it's Speedway.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Speedway?- Yes. - Great stuff, it's the right answer.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25As you well know.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28That really suited you there. OK.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Judith has to get this.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35The Ordina Open, held in the Netherlands, is in which sport?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Well, I'm inclined to think it's either tennis or golf,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43because they have Opens.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But beyond that, I've no idea!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think it might be tennis.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Crashing of heads. Eggheads crashed?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58No, all aloft, CJ grinning there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- It's the right answer, tennis.- Phew.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04So, it goes to sudden death.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And we remove the choices now, Darren, so it's a lot harder.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Which American cyclist suffered a collapsed lung when he was
0:11:11 > 0:11:16accidentally shot by his brother-in-law in a hunting accident
0:11:16 > 0:11:20in 1987, but went on to win the Tour de France two years later?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Unfortunately cycling isn't a sport I watch neither,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and the only American cyclist I can think of is Lance Armstrong,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and it's probably not, but I'll go with Lance Armstrong.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35OK, certainly American, certainly a cyclist, but no, the date's wrong.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's not Lance Armstrong.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Do you know, Judith?- No.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Could have been your question. Other Eggheads?- Greg LeMond.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Greg LeMond who won the Tour de France before Lance Armstrong.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Judith, then, a chance. Which injury-prone British decathlete
0:11:52 > 0:11:56who won medals at the 1999 and 2001 World Championships
0:11:56 > 0:12:00announced his retirement in 2008?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I'm trying to think of one who might have been in Beijing this year.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- I simply don't know.- Pass?- Yep.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Any ideas, Darren?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- It's Dean Macey.- Dean Macey. Good man.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20But that's only out of interest.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We don't pass questions over for points in Eggheads.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26But you do know your sports.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Here's your question though, Darren.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32In December 2007, despite a poor World Cup showing by the team,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37who was reappointed as head coach of the All Blacks Rugby Union team?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I know the guy's name, I just can't think of what it is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I don't believe he's from New Zealand.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I can't think of what his name is.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55No, I don't know. I can't think of his name.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I can only think of the English...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Clive Woodward and stuff, and I know it's not him.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- But I can't think of his name, so I don't know.- OK. A pass from Darren.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05It is Graham Henry.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Coached Wales for a while as well, didn't he?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Judith, a chance. Who was the first team to win the football World Cup
0:13:13 > 0:13:15outside their own continent?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Outside their own continent,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23So it's either Uruguay, Brazil or one of those.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27In Europe. Or vice versa.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I think it might have been Brazil.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Is that your answer?- Yep.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Brazil.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Is correct.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40No! Wow!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Do you know where? - There's a God in heaven.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- In Italy. - No. Other Eggheads?- Sweden?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Sweden, 1958.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's the right answer, Judith.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You are through into the final round. Bad luck, Darren.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55I don't know how that happened.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- Yeah.- You were going well, then the wheels came off the bus.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, Alma Mater you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10The Eggheads are all there. We've got two more head-to-heads,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13so no alarm bells need to bring yet.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Our next subject today is Geography. Who'd like to play this?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Jane, Bob or Dean?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Do you want to try?- I'll try.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24OK. It's Dean. And which Egghead would you like to play?
0:14:24 > 0:14:31- It can't be Judith or Barry, so it is Chris, Daphne or CJ.- Try CJ?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'll play against Chris, please.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37OK, Chris. OK. Dean and Chris then, heading for the question room.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Dean, do you want to go first or second?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Good luck, Dean. Here you are.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51The Grand Union Canal flows from London to which city?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59It doesn't... I'm convinced it doesn't go through Leeds.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04I would say it travels to Birmingham.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It, er, goes to Birmingham is the right answer, well done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Chris, first question - the town of Minehead and the village of
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Blue Anchor are holiday destinations on the coast of which county?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24They're both on the West Somerset Railway, in Somerset.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That's the right answer. Well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31OK, Dean,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Potsdam is the capital of which state of Germany?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Right...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Brandenburg...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'm not sure of,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54cos I only associate that with the Brandenburg Gate.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Erm, now,
0:16:01 > 0:16:02either Hesse or Saxony...
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'm going to err on the side of Hesse.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12OK. Potsdam is the capital of...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's not correct, it's Brandenburg.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17A chance for Chris to take the lead.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21The French city of Grenoble is situated on which river?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Well, the Seine flows out through Paris into the Channel at Rouen,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30so it's not there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34It's up in the Alps, and I think the Garonne is down in the south-west,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36flows out through Bordeaux. So it's the Isere.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Oh, he's worked it out, he knows his French geography,
0:16:39 > 0:16:40it's the right answer, Chris. Well done.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42OK, Dean, you've got to get this -
0:16:42 > 0:16:47what is the name of the range of five major mountains that run
0:16:47 > 0:16:53north to south for 50 miles along the 126th meridian
0:16:53 > 0:16:56in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica?
0:17:02 > 0:17:07I don't think it's the Focus Group.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Erm...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Executive Committee...
0:17:13 > 0:17:18erm, I'm not convinced of.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Now, would it be the Board Of Management?
0:17:24 > 0:17:29I am going to go for...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34the Board Of Management.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37OK. Five major mountains,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41on the 126th meridian in Antarctica
0:17:41 > 0:17:44are known as the...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Executive Committee.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49So, there you can see it,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Chris has already got two, he doesn't face another question.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You're through to the final round, Chris, and sorry to say,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56you won't be there, Dean.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Would you both please rejoin your teams?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Now, Alma Mater, you've lost three brains now from the final round,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06the Eggheads are all still there.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So your last chance to knock one of them out, on this subject of Music.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Jane or Bob to play.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16We did say it's gonna be Jane. So...
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- I think it's me!- All right, Jane.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I think it is! Bob doesn't fancy it.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Jane, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You can play Daphne or CJ...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Who do you want me to play? - How could you separate them?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Daphne? Daphne, then, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Daphne, OK, let's have Jane and Daphne into the question room.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So, Jane, would you like to go first to second?
0:18:40 > 0:18:41I'll go first, please.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Jane, this is the first one for you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Which female singer had a UK number one single in 1968
0:18:51 > 0:18:52with Those Were The Days?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Erm, I don't think it's Cher,
0:18:59 > 0:19:04I've never heard of Sandy Denny, I think it's Mary Hopkin.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Mary Hopkin...
0:19:05 > 0:19:06is the right answer, Jane.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13OK, Daphne, "glory to the newborn king" is the second line from
0:19:13 > 0:19:15which popular Christmas carol?
0:19:20 > 0:19:27Well, I won't let the rest of them walk out and start singing it,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30but it is Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I mean, I went to Sunday school!
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Ah! Well, you didn't need to go to Sunday school to know that!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's the right answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Jane, Guy Garvey is the lead singer of which Mercury award-winning band?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Erm, neither of these are my type of music. Erm...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I don't know who the lead singer of any of those are,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00so it will be a total guess.
0:20:00 > 0:20:07- I think I'll go with...Klaxons.- OK.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Guy Garvey is the lead singer of Mercury award-winning...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Elbow. Bad luck, Jane,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15a guess there, as you said.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Let's see how Daphne does.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Released in 1973,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Ring Ring is an album from the early part of which group's career?
0:20:29 > 0:20:35I think that was the title of the song they did the year
0:20:35 > 0:20:41before Waterloo, at the Eurovision, so I'm going for Abba.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Abba?- Yes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Ring, Ring?- Yes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- There's a little bell ring ringing in your ear.- Yes. I just...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Yes, it rang loudly.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Abba is correct, you knew that.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You're in the lead. Jane has got to get this.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03The composers Hayden and Schubert were the most famous
0:21:03 > 0:21:09members of which choir, formed in 1498 and still performing today?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Right, erm...
0:21:21 > 0:21:26I think I will go with...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Salzburg, but it is a guess.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK, Salzburg Cathedral Choir.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Haydn and Schubert,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36members of this choir.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Daphne, is she right?
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I would have gone for the Vienna Boys Choir, as the dates are right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45OK, it is the Vienna Boys Choir.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I'm sorry, Jane, not the Salzburg Cathedral Choir.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Daphne, you will be performing again in the final round and
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Jane, I'm sorry, there won't be a seat for you at the desk.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Would you both please rejoin your teams?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So this is what we've been playing towards, it's time
0:22:01 > 0:22:05for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be able to take part.
0:22:09 > 0:22:16So, Nigel, Jane, Darren and Dean, would you please leave the studio?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So, Bob, you're playing to win Alma Mater £13,000.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something which
0:22:23 > 0:22:26money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'll ask each team three questions.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Bob, the question is, is your brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Bob, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44I think I'll perhaps change the order and I'll go second.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49OK, Bob, and just before we start, as a builder, how often do you get
0:22:49 > 0:22:51asked the question, "Can you fix it?"
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Sometimes. More often than not.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I would suspect so.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58OK, let's see if you can fix your way through this round
0:22:58 > 0:23:03and win the money for the team. Eggheads been put in first by Bob.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04So, Eggheads, Cubby Broccoli
0:23:04 > 0:23:07is most notable as a producer of which series of films?
0:23:10 > 0:23:15He started, and then when he died, his daughter Barbara took over,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17and it's the James Bond films.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Correct. Right, Bob. Here you go.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Vaulting is ornamental work normally seen on what part of a building?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Er, it's not on a floor,
0:23:36 > 0:23:41and although it may connect to a wall, it's mainly seen on a ceiling.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Now, that could not have fallen more kindly.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Correct. OK...
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Eggheads, who is the author of the novels Enigma and Pompeii?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- And Fatherland, I think.- Indeed.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Robert Harris.- Correct.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09OK, second question for you, Bob - what name is given to the inlet of
0:24:09 > 0:24:14the Bosphorus that divides Istanbul and forms a natural harbour?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I don't think it's Steel Horn.
0:24:25 > 0:24:32Erm, I have a faint feeling that I've heard of it as the Golden Horn.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I'm not convinced.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I think I will discount Silver Horn and go for Golden Horn.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45OK, you're sure it's not Steel, tossing it up between the two and
0:24:45 > 0:24:49getting the right answer, Golden Horn. Two to you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56OK, Eggheads - what is the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Tamil Nadu's on the west coast.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- It's Chennai. - Used to be Madras.- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08It's the south...
0:25:08 > 0:25:12South, yeah, Bangalore is sort of up north, up towards Calcutta...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16We think that's Chennai, Dermot.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Formerly Madras.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22It is, Eggheads. Three to you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26OK, Bob, you've got to get this -
0:25:26 > 0:25:31what is the surname of the British singer usually known only as Adele?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Oh, music, up-to-date music, that is a problem.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Um...- You need Jane, don't you?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Yes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Or Dean, or Darren!
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Erm...- Well, it's just you Bob...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I don't think it's Appleby.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Adele Adkins. Adele Adamson...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Adele Adamson.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Adele Adkins.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11No, I think I've got to take a chance on this one,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm going down the middle, Adele Adkins.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Down the middle...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's the right answer, Bob.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Well done.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Ooh! Tricky moment.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28But is that the turning point in Alma Mater's favour?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK, Eggheads, we go to sudden death.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32In the nursery rhyme,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36who sat among the cinders warming her pretty little toes?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Little Polly Flinders sat among the cinders. Polly.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Polly Flinders.- Flinders? - Flinders, as in...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Little Polly Flinders.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54OK, well, done it once, Bob, can you save the game again?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Without choices this time.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00What is the name of the Italian royal family exiled from Italy
0:27:00 > 0:27:02after the Second World War?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Mmm.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09No.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18The only name that comes to mind,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22but I don't know whether they're the royal family, is Garibaldi.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26But I just don't believe that can be the royal family.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Erm...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I've probably heard it, but, er...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'll say Garibaldi, but I don't think it's right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41OK, Garibaldi, the name of the Italian royal family exiled
0:27:41 > 0:27:44from Italy after the Second World War...
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It's not Garibaldi, Bob. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- House of Savoy.- Savoy there from the Eggheads, so they knew that as well.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54It means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Bad luck, Bob, I thought you might do it after you got Adele Adkins,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08that was a real toughie for someone who didn't know much about music.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Thanks very much for playing with us today, send our best to everyone
0:28:11 > 0:28:14at the Cocked Hat, especially Alma.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The Eggheads' winning streak continues.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £13,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have
0:28:29 > 0:28:31the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36£14,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
