0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36You might recognise them because they're Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are Flinders Friends.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45They work for University College London
0:00:45 > 0:00:47museums and collections and are based at
0:00:47 > 0:00:51the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Carolyn, I'm 48 and I'm the museum manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 31 and I'm the operations manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Subhadra, I'm 27 and I'm the project assistant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Celine, I'm 34 and I'm the museum education officer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm Jan, I'm 57 and I run the Friends of the Petrie Museum.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Just tell me, who is Flinders and why are you his or her friends?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Well, Flinders refers to William Matthew Flinders Petrie.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26Hence the name, we work in a Museum where finds from over 30 sites that
0:01:26 > 0:01:30he excavated in Egypt and other finds too are there,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- over 80,000 objects on display, so.- Crikey.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37OK, let me tell you how the game is going to work today, Flinders Friends and best of luck to you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, Flinders Friends, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Which means £17,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59And, let's play these head-to-heads, then. The first one is Music.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Who'd like to play this one? Music.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Well.- What do you think?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I'm looking in Subhadra's direction.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I think we're all looking in Subhadra's.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09OK, I'll break the ice, that's fine.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13They're all looking at you, Subhadra. Which Egghead would you like to look at?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Which one would you like to take into the Question Room?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17I think maybe Chris.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19My inclination is Chris as well.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- OK.- Are we going to go for Chris? Yes, I think so.- Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30Could I ask Subhadra and Chris to take their positions in the Question Room, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Subhadra, have you had a lifelong interest in Egyptology?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Archaeology is my training and my background.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So when the job opened at what happened to be
0:02:41 > 0:02:44an Egyptian archaeology museum there was no choice, I had to jump at it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Have you been to Egypt, though? - I have a couple of times, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50But those were school trips, I expect it's changed a lot since.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK. Subhadra, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Here you go.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01The video for which hit song by Queen memorably featured
0:03:01 > 0:03:04members of the band dressed up in drag?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I'm very used to hearing their songs,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15videos are a little bit beyond my ken.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20So. It could be any of them, given the nature of the music.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll go with I Want To Break Free.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's the right answer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well done, Subhadra.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Tricky one there if you haven't seen it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Chris, what's the name of the instrument sometimes known as the
0:03:33 > 0:03:37double bassoon which is pitched an octave lower than a normal bassoon?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Contrabassoon is against the bassoon.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Mezzobassoon's a middle bassoon.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Fortebassoon's a strong bassoon.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Presumably it gives the counterpoint to the bassoon melody
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- so it would be a contrabassoon.- Contrabassoon.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Is correct, good start for Chris.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Back to Subhadra.
0:04:01 > 0:04:08In 2008, the X-Factor finalists had a UK number one hit single with which song?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Again I'm not a huge reality TV fan.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Without You.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21It's Hero.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Hero.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So a chance for Chris to take the lead.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Chris, in 1984, King Of Pain became the last
0:04:29 > 0:04:34UK Top 20 single for which group before they split up soon after?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I don't think Dire Straits
0:04:41 > 0:04:44ever split up for good, I don't think The Police ever did.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So I'll say New Order.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49The Police. The Police,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54so let off for Subhadra, stays all square, everything to play for.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00What source material was the inspiration behind Czech composer Leos Janacek's opera
0:05:00 > 0:05:05The Cunning Little Vixen first performed in 1924?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, obviously my knowledge and repertoire
0:05:12 > 0:05:15of Czech opera composers is quite wide so...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But I'm afraid this one's slipped through.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So, I am going to have to guess at it and at the moment...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25..the best guess looks like
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- a Greek fable.- Do you know, Chris?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Must be a nursery rhyme. - No, comic strip.- Comic strip.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35So, comic strip - Janacek's Cunning Little Vixen.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Chance for Chris then to win the round.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Chris, who composed scores for several films including the 1939
0:05:42 > 0:05:50adaptation of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men, and the 1949 film The Heiress for which he won an Oscar?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Several films would suggest he's not primarily a film composer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I would hazard a guess at Aaron Copland.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Is the right answer, Chris.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10A very tough round for you both, but Chris just nicked it there.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Bad luck Subhadra. Means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Flinders Friends have lost one a brain from the final round,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22the Eggheads have not lost any,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26we've only played a round let's play our second one and this one is Sport.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Who would like to play Sport?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Well, what do you think, guys?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Don't want to be stereotypical about gender, Rich.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But you're up.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK. By process of elimination it looks like it's going to be me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, and you have a large choice of Eggheads there,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48only one of them gone there, that's Chris, any of the other four.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I'm going to go for CJ.- Richard and CJ, Question Room, please.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Richard, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I'd like to go first, please.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK, Richard here's your question.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07Which major sporting event took place at Valhalla in Kentucky in September 2008?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Off the top of my head, I don't immediately know the answer
0:07:17 > 0:07:20so it's going to have to be some sort of process of elimination.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Valhalla sounds to me like a golf course.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So I'm going to go for the Ryder Cup.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Yes, Ryder Cup is correct.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34CJ, Shaun Edwards,
0:07:34 > 0:07:39born in 1966, represented Great Britain 36 times in which sport?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44We can eliminate tennis.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49OK, I'm getting confused now whether it's rugby union or rugby league
0:07:49 > 0:07:54which have the individual countries and which one has...
0:07:57 > 0:08:02So I'm going to go, hopefully, for rugby league.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Rugby league, is the right answer.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Worked it out in the end, CJ. Richard, second question.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Which former captain of the England cricket team was named the Gnome?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Gnome? That's not a particularly kind nickname.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's not exactly flattering, is it?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Cricket is not one of my strong points.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I know what Mike Atherton and Graham Gooch look like.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35And I don't think either of them is particularly gnome-like.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39So I'm going to guess Keith Fletcher.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Is the right answer, you worked that out, Richard, very well indeed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The Gnome.
0:08:46 > 0:08:53CJ, at the end of every football World Cup final since 1994 the Yashin Award has been given
0:08:53 > 0:08:56to the tournament's best player in which position?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I thought there was an award that went to a goalkeeper.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05That's the only thing I've got to go on, I think there's something
0:09:05 > 0:09:09that goes to a goalkeeper, so I will try goalkeeper.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Goalkeeper, it's correct, CJ, well worked out. OK, two each.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21Richard, what name is given to the detailed description of a course in rallying read out by the co-driver
0:09:21 > 0:09:26to the driver en route that allows them to prepare for corners, jumps and other features?
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Motorsport, also not a particularly strong point for me.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So you've been through what?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Cricket, golf and now on motorsports.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Yeah, no football questions. I'm a little disappointed with that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm going to plump for pace notes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Pace notes. It's the right answer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53You bring a lot of logic to bear on these and you've done very well
0:09:53 > 0:09:57with sports, which you don't particularly follow or enjoy. Three out of three.
0:09:57 > 0:10:04CJ, which Irish jockey jointly holds the record of four wins
0:10:04 > 0:10:06in the Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I haven't got the foggiest clue.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm assuming those three are jockeys, then, eh?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18HE LAUGHS I don't know.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- It's Kieren Fallon.- It's Pat Eddery.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Which means,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Richard, you're cantering into the final round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:32Well done, you're playing for the £17,000 today, would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Both teams now lost one brain from the final round.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38We'll play our third head-to-head today - Arts & Books.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Who'd like to play this?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's Carolyn, Celine or Jan.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Well, it's either me or Carolyn, I think from past experience. - Books I'm not...
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I'm a bit specialised on.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- OK, I'll take it if you want me to. Yeah?- You fancy it, Celine? OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Yes it's going to be me.- Who'd you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- There are Daphne, Judith and Kevin remaining there.- Try Daphne.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02OK, I'd like Daphne, please.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05OK, Celine would like Daphne, wouldn't we all?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Both please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Celine, do you want to go first of second in this Arts & Books category?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I'd like to go first, please.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Here's your first question, then.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol what is the name
0:11:21 > 0:11:25of Scrooge's deceased business partner who visits him on Christmas Eve?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I have read a few Dickens's novels.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I haven't read this one, but I've seen a few good films of it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38I think it's Jacob Marley.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's the right answer, well done.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, Daphne. First question for you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51"But when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of
0:11:51 > 0:11:57"the tiger, stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood," are lines from which Shakespeare play?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Would that be the one that takes place on St Crispin's Day, Dermot?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Henry V.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Years ago I appeared on
0:12:09 > 0:12:12a celebrity version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And the question I got wrong.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17No, you didn't get it wrong,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19your phone-a-friend got it wrong.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21My phone-a-friend didn't say anything.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24And I'm going to get you afterwards.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Oh, good.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Thanks for reminding me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30That's payback, isn't it? For all the teasing I do to you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Henry V, "When the blast of war etc blows in our ears," that's correct.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So, one each. Celine, second question.
0:12:38 > 0:12:45In a theatre company, which role typically involves liaising with playwrights and editing texts?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well, about 20 years ago I did a theatre studies GCSE
0:12:52 > 0:12:54when they first came out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58So this is something I feel I should know.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I think it's dramaturge.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It is, that's the right answer. Well remembered, Celine.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Dug that up from somewhere, ha-ha, excuse the pun.
0:13:09 > 0:13:16Daphne, in October 2008 an unfinished portrait by Lucian Freud
0:13:16 > 0:13:21of which artist was sold at auction for £5.4 million?
0:13:26 > 0:13:33Ah. Something in the back of my mind is telling me
0:13:33 > 0:13:37that he didn't get on with Francis Bacon,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41so hopefully it's Francis Bacon.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It's the right answer, Daphne. Well remembered.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47So, all square.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Third question, it's Celine.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51A Nice Cup Of Tea -
0:13:51 > 0:13:55published in the Evening Standard in January 1946,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00was a serious essay on the craft of making a cup of tea by which writer?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Um, I'm just trying to think about
0:14:07 > 0:14:10which of those writers was writing
0:14:10 > 0:14:14newspaper articles at that stage of their career.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22We have a George Orwell archive as part of our collections.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26And I know he did do varying kinds of journalism,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30not sure if he wrote about tea or not, though.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I think it was George Orwell.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38George Orwell got paid for A Nice Cup Of Tea. It's the right answer.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Back in 1946. So it means you've got to get this, Daphne,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Celine's got three out of three.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48"We should be careful of each other, we should be kind.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50"While there is still time."
0:14:50 > 0:14:54These are the last lines of whose poem, The Mower, detailing
0:14:54 > 0:14:58the poet's accidental killing of a hedgehog in his garden?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Oh dear! I haven't heard of this.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11I'm hoping...
0:15:11 > 0:15:13it's Ted Hughes?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- It's Philip Larkin.- Oh!
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Great news for Flinders Friends. Celine - you're in the final round!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Playing for £17,000.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30As it stands, the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round, you've only lost one.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33The chance to inflict more pain on the Eggheads now, another head-to-head.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38And this one, I don't know, might suit you. Science.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41You've got two remaining players. Carolyn and Jan.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Any of you good at science? - I'm hopeless at science!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46So I can't go.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- One of you is going to be in the last round, so which one...? - I thought we'd...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Jan was going to be.- Yeah, yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54OK. I'm going to sacrifice myself!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Carolyn! Oh ye of little faith!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59You've still got to choose an opponent.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01And it's Kevin or Judith.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03They are the two remaining Eggheads.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- OK, Judith, please. - OK, Judith it is then.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Carolyn and Judith, could I ask you to make your way to the Question Room?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Carolyn, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well, I think I'd better get it over with! I'll go first, please!
0:16:19 > 0:16:23OK, good luck, Carolyn. Science it is. Here is the question.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27All telephone services in the US were stopped for one minute
0:16:27 > 0:16:30on the occasion of the burial of which inventor?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Goodness me! Well,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44the logic is sort of saying, "Oh, come on, you know
0:16:44 > 0:16:47"the telephone is Alexander Graham Bell."
0:16:47 > 0:16:49But there's something that's connecting
0:16:49 > 0:16:51America and Thomas Edison for me.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Thomas Edison. - Going with heart against head!
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Head was right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Alexander Graham Bell!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04OK, well, you kind of knew that, Carolyn,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06but I think you almost talked yourself out of it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Judith, what is the name of the element with the atomic number 83
0:17:10 > 0:17:16and the Atomic symbol BI, that has the lowest thermal conductivity
0:17:16 > 0:17:19of all metals except mercury?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well, I think bicarbonate isn't an element.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I think it might be bismuth.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I just hope!
0:17:30 > 0:17:36OK, bismuth is correct, Judith! Yes. A lead for you, then.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Carolyn, the large-eyed, nocturnal forest primate the loris
0:17:41 > 0:17:45is native to the south and south-east of which continent?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Right, well!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think that I'm going to go for South America.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Asia!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Nothing there. A chance for Judith to wrap
0:18:02 > 0:18:03it up early on if she gets this.
0:18:03 > 0:18:11In the structure of a black hole in space, what name is given to the centre point of infinite density
0:18:11 > 0:18:15at which time and space are infinitely distorted by gravity?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I don't think it's an event horizon.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I've never heard of Lagrange Point.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I have a feeling it's a singularity.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It is the right answer!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You're playing well, Judith, it must be said.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Two out of two and it means, Carolyn,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37no place for you in the final round.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Judith, you'll be there. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Those of you lost your head to heads,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So Carolyn and Subhadra from Flinders Friends
0:18:52 > 0:18:57and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you all please leave the studio now?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02So Richard, Celine, and Jan, you're playing to win Flinders Friends £17,000.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Judith, Ken and Chris, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:19:07 > 0:19:09the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- And Richard, Celine and Jan, would you like to go first or second? - We're going to go first.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26So, here you go and best of luck.
0:19:26 > 0:19:33The umlaut, sometimes written above certain vowels in the German language, is represented by what?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42German GCSE tells me that an umlaut is two dots.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44German for academic purposes,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- drummed into my brain by UCL, says its two dots.- Celine?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Just a gut feeling says it's two dots!
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Three different methodologies, we've come up with two dots!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's the right answer! The umlaut. Correct. Solid start.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Eggheads, who was the star of the radio show ITMA
0:20:02 > 0:20:07or It's That Man Again, that ran from 1939 to 1949?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- It was Tommy Handley.- Tommy Handley is the right answer, yes. One each.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Flinders Friends, second question.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Julian Bream is a celebrated player of which instrument?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I have no idea who Julian Bream is.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27You had some of his CDs.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- I did.- It's guitar?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Can we please go with guitarist?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's the right answer. Guitar is correct.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Julian Bream, guitarist.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37OK, Eggheads,
0:20:37 > 0:20:45in 1993, the ancient position of Keeper of the Queen's Swans was split into two.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The Warden of the Swans and which other?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Do they get marked? - Well, that's the thing.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Unmarked swans belong to the Queen,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and depending on what nicks they've got in the bill,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05they belong to one or other London livery companies.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So it won't be marker, then.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Yeah, catcher is a fairly low sort of, low down in the pecking order.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I don't think they'd be a counter of the swans,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16cos they count them anyway.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18If the Queen's ones are unmarked,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20then it wouldn't be a marker, would it?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23No, but the ones that belonged to the livery companies are marked.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27So it was the Queen's...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29organisation split into two.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'd still go with marker.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I can see where you're coming from.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Cos the other two just don't seem to...
0:21:41 > 0:21:45No, catcher and counter just don't seem to make it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We'll have to go for Marker of the Swans.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's Marker of the Swans, as Chris thought from the off!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It's the right answer. Marker of the Swans.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55So, Flinders Friends, this is a question
0:21:55 > 0:21:57to put the pressure back on them.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59To the nearest 100 miles,
0:21:59 > 0:22:05how far does the Australian mainland extend from east to west?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Or from west to east, either way.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Have you been to Australia before?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I would say 2,500 is too small.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19From looking at a map.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Is 4,500 too much?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- I don't know. This one's for you. - Are we gonna discount 2,500?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Yes. I think so, yes.- OK.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- I'm happy to go with 3,500 if you think that's...- Yeah?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We clearly don't know the answer!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I've worked that out! What do you think?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42We think that it's 3,500.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46OK, going down the middle. 3,500 miles to the nearest hundred miles.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51It's 2,500. Not as far as you thought.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Well, it does mean the Eggheads face a third question,
0:22:55 > 0:23:02but with the chance to win the game. Eggheads, Monkey Bread is the name given to the fruit of which tree?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think it's the baobab.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15- Right.- Banyan's that thing that grows downwards, isn't it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16I thought that was a baobab.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That's the upside down tree, yeah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I don't think it's that. Banyan.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24A mangrove palm,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- they'd have to be in the swamps, wouldn't they?- Yeah, exactly.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30We're going to go for banyan, I think. OK, everybody?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Yeah, I would bet on it.- OK.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Not certain, as again you may have guessed there,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but we'll go for banyan.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Banyan Tree, Monkey Bread, the source of Monkey Bread...
0:23:44 > 0:23:48..is the incorrect answer, Eggheads!
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- It is baobab.- Oh, no!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Those two monkeys behind you knew it!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- They always know after the event! - Knocked out.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Oh!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58They always know after the event.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I don't need to turn you, but if you got Australia, you would have the money right now.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03You don't see that very often.
0:24:03 > 0:24:10We go to Sudden Death. Could be one answer away from £17,000.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Right, Flinders Friends, Milford Track, often described as
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- the finest walk in the world, is situated in which country? Milford Track.- I'm so glad you know.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- I don't know. - I've been to Milford Sound on a boat, it's absolutely beautiful.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30And that's at the end of Milford Track, which is in New Zealand.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33New Zealand is correct! Celine's been there.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Eggheads, to save the game,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41which English actor missed out on the part of Al Capone in
0:24:41 > 0:24:43the 1987 film, the Untouchables,
0:24:43 > 0:24:49when Robert De Niro became available, but was reportedly still paid 200,000?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- OK?- Yeah.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Bob Hoskins.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Is the right answer, Eggheads! Bob Hoskins.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Bob Hoskins is an absolute dead ringer for Al Capone. Robert De Niro isn't.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Another question, then.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Flinders friends, in Greek mythology, Achilles
0:25:07 > 0:25:11lent his armour to which warrior, who was then killed by Hector?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I'll just think for a moment, cos I was reading this only this year.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- The Aeneid, we're talking about, so it's the Iliad.- No, hang on...
0:25:23 > 0:25:29So it's the Iliad that starts with the wrath of Achilles, because...
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Yes, he kills Hector because... - It's not Patroclus.- I don't think so.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I'm not saying it's definitely it. That's a P name I can think of.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- It's very annoying, cos I know it.- I know, so do I!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Huge funeral pyre...
0:25:41 > 0:25:45I really, definitely don't. Gotta go for something.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I think we're going to say Patroclus. - Patroclus...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Patroclus is correct.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Carolyn there! - She will be so proud of us!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Yes, she was, I can see behind you!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Right, so the Eggheads must get this again.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09During the last 10 years, Prince Charles has made several visits to which
0:26:09 > 0:26:14semi-autonomous republic located on a mountainous Greek peninsula?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18The monasteries of Mount Athos.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's Mount Athos. The monasteries at Mount Athos.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Is the right answer! Mount Athos is correct.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Flinders Friends,
0:26:28 > 0:26:34very close to going out on that last one, but dug it out from somewhere. Here you are.
0:26:34 > 0:26:41In which modern-day country was the Baha'i faith founded in the 19th century?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46I'm fairly sure like lots of faiths, that was founded in India.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Yeah, that makes sense. - Can we just confer?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Sanjel, who worked for us, is Baha'i.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01There is a Baha'i faith museum, but the founder's house is actually in Israel.
0:27:01 > 0:27:09If the founders of the faith have a museum in a house in Israel...
0:27:09 > 0:27:11The modern-day name for that state is Israel.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's the modern-day name for that part of the world
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- OK. We're going to go for that? - Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21We're going to go for Israel.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Israel. You were thinking India?
0:27:25 > 0:27:31It's all "I"s, and neither of yours were correct. It's Iran!
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Iran. Well, Iran was the answer we were looking for.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Only the second one out of so many questions
0:27:36 > 0:27:38that Flinders Friends have got wrong.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44Let's see how the Eggheads do, it isn't over. FBI agent Joseph Pistone was given which alias when he
0:27:44 > 0:27:50became one of the first undercover agents to successfully infiltrate the American Mafia?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- I only know one.- What's that?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Donnie Brasco.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Yeah. That's probably it. - Yeah. Donnie Brasco.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Donnie Brasco. It's correct, Eggheads. You've won!
0:28:06 > 0:28:11A remarkable performance, don't you agree, Eggheads, from Flinders Friends? So, so close.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16You don't need underlining, you're never going to look at a map the same way ever again!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Especially when you look at that part of the world.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Thank you very much for playing Eggheads today.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, that winning streak continues, only just.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £17,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£18,000 says they don't.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
