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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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
0:00:33 > 0:00:37in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are One Sense Less from Surrey.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47The team are in the same deaf club and in 1998, Charles and Melinda
0:00:47 > 0:00:49were part of a team who won the final
0:00:49 > 0:00:53of the British Deaf Association's national quiz in Scarborough.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And assisting with today's programme will be Roger.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57He'll be interpreting for the team
0:00:57 > 0:01:01out here, and James, who together with the questions being displayed
0:01:01 > 0:01:06on screen for the team, will be interpreting in the question room.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Well, let's meet the team then.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Charles.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm 75, retired college lecturer.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20VOICE OF INTERPRETER: Hello, I'm Richard,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I'm 64, and I'm a retired librarian.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26VOICE OF INTERPRETER:
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Hello, I'm Melinda, I'm 58 and I'm a senior lecturer.
0:01:30 > 0:01:37Hi, I'm Judy and I'm 59 and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Hello, I'm Martin.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- I'm 61 and I'm an accountant. - Welcome to you, One Sense Less.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Thank you very much for playing Eggheads today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Charles, tell me about your interest in quizzes and your success
0:01:55 > 0:01:58in the national deaf quizzing championships.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01My interest in quizzes
0:02:01 > 0:02:04started with 15 to 1.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I remember Daphne very well.
0:02:06 > 0:02:13And I watch all TV quizzes - 15 to 1, Weakest Link, Eggheads!
0:02:13 > 0:02:18The National DBA quiz competition,
0:02:18 > 0:02:24we were in the team that won the area final, then the regional final,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26then the national final in Scarborough.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Charles, before we started, we were teaching the Eggheads...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I was trying to get you to teach the Eggheads to say,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36"We are the Eggheads" in sign language.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Shall we test them, see if they've remembered? Come on, then, Eggheads.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We...are...Eggheads.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- How's that?- Not bad!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Try again, with feeling!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52We'll talk more about quizzing
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and signing - it's very interesting - as the quiz goes on
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- but right now, shall we play Eggheads?- Please.- Let's go for it.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Every day, there's £1000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:03:03 > 0:03:06for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13So, One Sense Less, the Eggheads have won the last 22 games
0:03:13 > 0:03:18which means £23,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject
0:03:20 > 0:03:22of Arts and Books.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Now, who wants to play this? It can be any one of you,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27any one of the team members. It's the first round.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We already agreed.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37VOICE OF INTERPRETER: What do you think?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Which is the weakest one?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41CJ?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think we will ask CJ to be with me.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, CJ. And they said, "Which one do we think
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- "is the weakest one?!" - Yes, thank you(!)
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Let's see if that's proven to be true.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56He's been playing well in Arts and Books lately.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58So could I please ask Richard
0:03:58 > 0:04:02and CJ to take their positions in the question room, please,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates, Richard.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, Richard, would you like to go first
0:04:07 > 0:04:11or second in this Arts and Books round?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15INTERPRETER: I think I'll dive in and go first, please.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Here's your first question.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Which detective features in the 1937 novel, Death On The Nile?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34INTERPRETER: Well, it's not Sherlock Holmes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41That was long before 1937.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So I don't think that one, no.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It can't be Jules, no.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55That was a Frenchman, so no, no, no, it can't be that.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Hercule Poirot. Now, he's Belgian,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04so there's not much difference between those two.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I think I'll go for Hercule Poirot. Yeah, Hercule Poirot.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14It's the right answer. Well done, Richard. Good start.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Over to CJ.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK, CJ, here's your question.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Which Poet Laureate's works include the collection, Birthday Letters
0:05:22 > 0:05:25published in 1998, the year of his death?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Well, I think both John Betjeman and Cecil Day-Lewis were dead
0:05:34 > 0:05:37quite a bit before that, so I will go for Ted Hughes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate, died in 1998. It's the right answer, CJ.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43One to you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46OK, Richard, your second question now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:53Which artist produced a £1.5 million solid gold statue of Kate Moss,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57unveiled at the British Museum in October 2008?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13INTERPRETER: Hmm, all of those are foremost in the world of sculpture.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19But I know Damien Hirst's work does sell for millions.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Antony Gormley...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Ah, yeah, the Angel of the North.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Hmm, yes, that's the one that did all those men. Right...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So which one should I go for?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Damien Hirst. I'm going for Damien Hirst.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, Damien Hirst. You know your sculpture there, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Um...but you haven't attached the right sculptor to Kate Moss.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It is Marc Quinn.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Bad luck. Bad luck there.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, well, a chance for CJ to take the lead.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Bathsheba Everdene is a character in a novel by which writer?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I think she's along with Gabriel Oak in Far From The Madding Crowd
0:07:09 > 0:07:11which would be Thomas Hardy.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Well, that's back to the literature and CJ's got it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yes, it's the right answer.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Two to you, which means, Richard, you've got to get this one correct
0:07:21 > 0:07:26to stay in the game. Which of Herman Melville's novels was his last,
0:07:26 > 0:07:32left unfinished at his death in 1891 and not published until 1924?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47INTERPRETER: Right, Moby Dick was his major novel.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So it's not Typee.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah, that wasn't the last novel.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I think White Jacket. Yeah, White Jacket.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Herman Melville's last novel, not published until 1924,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10long after his death, was Billy Budd!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Billy Budd. I'm sorry about that, Richard, but it means CJ
0:08:16 > 0:08:18doesn't need to face another question.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Two incorrect from you and two right from CJ means you won't be playing
0:08:22 > 0:08:26in the Final Round and, CJ, you will be there. Place booked for you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33As it stands, One Sense Less have lost one brain from the Final Round,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35lost Richard. The Eggheads are all still there, but we've got
0:08:35 > 0:08:37plenty more rounds to play.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41This one is Sport. Who'd like to play this one? It can't be Richard.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Any of the rest of you. Sport.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51INTERPRETER:
0:08:51 > 0:08:57Who shall we play against? Shall we pick a strong one? Judith?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Judith. - OK, let's have Martin and Judith
0:09:00 > 0:09:02into the question room, please.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Martin, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08INTERPRETER: I think I'll go first, please.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Good luck, then, Martin. Here's your first Sport question.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15In gymnastics, what word means
0:09:15 > 0:09:19"to leave an apparatus at the finale of a routine"?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32INTERPRETER: Gymnastics is not something I'm particularly keen on.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Having said that, unpeel doesn't sound really gymnastic.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Rappel? Sounds like a foreign word that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Personally, I think dismount.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, that's the right answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK, dismount.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Yes, all important, whether you land on your feet
0:09:56 > 0:09:58or you see them sometimes stumbling in the Olympics.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00You feel so sorry for them after all the hard work.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Hard work repaid, though, with the right answer from you, Martin.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Dismount is correct.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08OK, Judith, first question for you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Looking forward to it, are you, Judith? You love sport(!)- As always.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Here you go. Harrod's Repository and Chiswick Steps
0:10:16 > 0:10:19are features on the course of which annual sporting event?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Now there's one I think I do know. It's the boat race.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Um, it is the right answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The University Boat Race. Correct.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35OK, second question for you, Martin.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Which year saw the start of football's UEFA Cup competition?
0:10:47 > 0:10:53INTERPRETER: There have been several competitions in Europe over the time.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57UEFA... Right, let's have a think.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Er...I think I'll go for 1961.
0:11:02 > 0:11:09OK, '61. The UEFA Cup started in...1971.
0:11:09 > 0:11:121971, Martin.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13So not the right answer there
0:11:13 > 0:11:18from Martin and a chance for the lead from Judith.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21The Federation Internationale d'Escrime
0:11:21 > 0:11:24is the world governing body of which Olympic sport?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And forgive my French. I know you speak it a lot
0:11:27 > 0:11:30better than I do, Judith, but I'll read it again should you need it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I think it might be fencing but I don't really know.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Federation Internationale d'Escrime,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45probably the FIE, I suppose, shortened to,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47is the governing body of...
0:11:49 > 0:11:50..fencing.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51It's the right answer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Martin, you need to get this.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00In 1999, whom did Sports Illustrated magazine name the best individual
0:12:00 > 0:12:02male athlete of the 20th century?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Sports Illustrated is a well-known American magazine.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Then, all three of those are Americans anyway, I suppose.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30Jack Nicklaus was a golfer, top golfer, over 30 years.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Sampras was the tennis player,
0:12:36 > 0:12:41over the last ten years... yeah, of the 20th century.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And Mike Tyson.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48He was the world champion in the '90s. Yeah.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53So, based on the length of winning titles,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I think I'll go for Jack Nicklaus.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59OK. Going for the golf.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05And sheer length and breadth of his achievements. It's the right answer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Jack Nicklaus, yes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10So that keeps your hopes alive, Martin.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Got to hope that Judith doesn't get this, though.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Judith, James Hunt made his Formula 1 debut
0:13:16 > 0:13:18driving for which constructor?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I haven't heard of either Lola or Shadow, but I know
0:13:24 > 0:13:32that he was associated with Hesketh, um...so I think I'll go for Hesketh.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Hesketh is the right answer, Judith.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You've done it. Unlucky there again.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Another unlucky one for One Sense Less. Just the one in it there.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45That slip-up in the middle. It means, Martin, you won't be
0:13:45 > 0:13:48playing in the Final Round. Would you both please come back
0:13:48 > 0:13:49and join your teams?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54OK, as it stands now, the challengers have lost two brains
0:13:54 > 0:13:56from the Final Round. The Eggheads are all still there,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59but we've got two more head-to-heads before that Final Round,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02so it could be all square by the time we get there.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Our next subject today is Geography.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I know you're a well-travelled bunch. Who'd like to play this?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Geography. It can only be Charles, Melinda or Judy.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Yes, I'll do Geography. Yes, OK. Which one? Which one?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Just to remind you, CJ and Judith have played, so it's Kevin,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Daphne or Chris. - I'll take Kevin on.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Take Kevin on. Certainly.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Picked one of the stronger ones, that's for sure!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Let's have Judy and Kevin in the question room, please.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Would you like to go first or second, then, Judy?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Um, I think I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Best of luck, Judy. Here's your first question, then.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Which English seaside town is known as the Queen of the English Riviera?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Um...I think Padstow's a bit quiet and, um...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02..I can't imagine Blackpool being called
0:15:02 > 0:15:06the Queen of the English Riviera. I'll go for Torquay.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07It's the right answer, yes.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Torquay is correct.- Thank you.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Good start, Judy. Kevin,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Szechuan is a province in which country?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's in south-west China,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- so China.- China is correct.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26OK, Judy, your second question.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30What is the capital city of Georgia?
0:15:33 > 0:15:40Um, that's... My boss, he used to go to Georgia quite a lot,
0:15:40 > 0:15:45so he used to talk about Tbilisi, so I think it is Tbilisi.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Tbilisi. Correct.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54OK, Kevin, the River Piddle is in which English county?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56You can't say that and not giggle.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Of course, Dorset is... It's Dorset.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05That's next door to where I grew up, so that was the source of occasional
0:16:05 > 0:16:09hilarity when I was a kid. Yeah, it's Dorset.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's the right answer, Kevin. Two each.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Very good round. Now, be careful with this one, Judy.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Very important. If you get it, lot of pressure on Kevin.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19If you don't, of course, that is all reversed.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Here you go.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26The Mourne Mountains are located in which county in Northern Ireland?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Um...I don't think it's County Tyrone.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Um, and I'm thinking it's just south of Belfast,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and I think it's County Down.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The Mournes...are in County Down.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well done, Judy.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Now, a real prospect here. There's the scoreboard. 3-2.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54If Kevin doesn't get this, he's not playing in the Final Round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57What a scalp that would be. Here you go, Kevin.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02With which geographical process is the term plucking associated?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Hmm.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Not one I'm particularly familiar with, I must say.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm tempted to think about long-shore drift because...
0:17:17 > 0:17:21The idea being that stones,
0:17:21 > 0:17:26other material, is taken off by wave action and deposited elsewhere
0:17:26 > 0:17:28further along the coast.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, in the sense of the material
0:17:30 > 0:17:35being plucked off from the shore and taken along...
0:17:35 > 0:17:39But it could one of the others, but I'm going to go for long-shore drift.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK, long-shore drift.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Well, Kevin, the process you described - if you think about it
0:17:44 > 0:17:47over a much longer period, it's also achieved by...
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- Glacial.- Glaciers, yes.- Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52And that would've been the correct answer. Glacial erosion.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Which means, Judy, hey-hey!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59You are through to the Final Round, and knocked out the three-times
0:17:59 > 0:18:02World Quiz Champion, four-times European Quiz Champion.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well done. What a scalp.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Fantastic stuff for you and for One Sense Less.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Well, Judy, let's just reflect on that victory for a moment because
0:18:15 > 0:18:18it doesn't happen often. How does that feel?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Wonderful.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Fabulous. I can't believe it. I'm just shaking.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Kevin can't believe it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27But let's see if the team can go all the way.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Our last subject today is Food and Drink.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Food and Drink, and Charles or Melinda, one of you two.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36INTERPRETER: It's Melinda.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Who shall we go for?- Chris or Daphne?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Chris? Yes, I'll choose Chris.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46OK, let's have Melinda and Chris into the question room, please.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Melinda, do you want to go first or second?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53INTERPRETER: I think I'm going to go first. Get it over with.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Here you go, Melinda, first question. What is the American term
0:18:59 > 0:19:02for what Britons call potato crisps?
0:19:06 > 0:19:13Hmm, I know, in Britain and America, they're very different words.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I know they've got quite different
0:19:15 > 0:19:19words for crisps and chips, so I would go for chips.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21That is the right answer, yes. Chips.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Chris, blue vinney is a type of which food from Dorset?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34I remember the Monty Python cheese-shop sketch. It's cheese.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It is the right answer. Yes, it's a cheese.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40OK, Melinda.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Bird's-eye is a particularly strong variety of which food stuff?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Oh, I've never heard of that word, bird's-eye.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Um...
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Sounds kind of foreign so it's probably something quite...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I think I'll go for chilli. Yeah, chilli. That's what I'll go for.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Bird's-eye chilli...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You picked the right one out. Well done, Melinda. Two to you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Chris, which spirit is mixed with lime juice and fresh mint to make
0:20:16 > 0:20:17a mojito cocktail?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Hmm... Well, Bourbon and lime would be rather nasty.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31And I don't think it's white rum, but mojito sounds Spanish or Mexican,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34so it must be tequila.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37That wouldn't be bad, but you wouldn't call it a mojito
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- because you'd have left out the white rum.- Oh?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Look at the position we're in here. A real chance for Melinda here.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Get this, Melinda, and you're in the Final Round.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Which French town is at the heart of the Champagne region
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and is famous for its many miles of cellars and tunnels?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Oh, really, I don't... I'm not a drinker, really. Um...
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yes, I'm going to go for Narbonne.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12OK, Narbonne.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It's a missed opportunity.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's Epernay.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20OK, still go out, though, Chris, if you don't get this.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25What is the British equivalent of the French drink called a panache?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Hmm. Well, I don't think it's perry...
0:21:33 > 0:21:38because that's pear cider.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think it's the equivalent of Buck's Fizz, orange juice and champagne.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45OK. Orange juice and champagne, Buck's Fizz.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- It's shandy!- Oh. - You're through anyway, Melinda,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51in spite of that slip-up on the third question.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Chris got two wrong. You're through to the Final Round.
0:21:53 > 0:22:00The International Mastermind, proudly wearing his Mastermind shirt today, bites the dust.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05This is what we've been playing for.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's time for the Final Round which is General Knowledge
0:22:08 > 0:22:11but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:11 > 0:22:12won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16So Richard and Martin from One Sense Less,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18and Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Charles, Melinda and Judy,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27you're playing to win One Sense Less £23,000.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Judith, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:22:30 > 0:22:34which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40The questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That is the big difference from those head-to-head rounds.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48One Sense Less, the question is - are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And Charles, Melinda and Judy, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57We've agreed. It worked for them so we'll go first, please.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Well, best of luck.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Let's see if you can win £23,000 today. Here's your first question.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Sir Ian Blair resigned as head of which organisation in October 2008?
0:23:15 > 0:23:21Sir Ian Blair resigned as head of which organisation in October 2008?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26We're all agreed. It's definitely the police.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29OK. The Metropolitan Police.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30You all agree on that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Sir Ian Blair resigned as head of the Met in October 2008.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Well done, good start.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Eggheads...
0:23:39 > 0:23:44in 2008, Princes William and Harry
0:23:44 > 0:23:48took part in a charity ride across South Africa on what form of transport?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55In 2008, Princes William and Harry took part in a charity ride
0:23:55 > 0:23:59across South Africa on what form of transport?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Motorbikes, Dermot.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Motorbike...is the right answer, yes. Well done, Eggheads.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Back to you, One Sense Less. Second question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17In classical mythology, satyrs are often depicted as having the legs
0:24:17 > 0:24:18of which creature?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25In classical mythology, satyrs are often depicted as having
0:24:25 > 0:24:29the legs of which creature?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34We're agreed again. Goats.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Eggheads? It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, then, Eggheads, second question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45The Venus flytrap plant is native to which continent?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52The Venus flytrap plant is native to which continent?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Oh, dear.- I don't think it's Australia.- No, that's one I'm...
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I don't think it's North America. I really don't know.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Africa's the logical answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I actually thought it was South America.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11There are a lot of carnivorous plants in Africa.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I... I... - I don't think it's North America.- No.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21I don't think it's Australia because I've been there and I think it's...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think we have to go for Africa
0:25:23 > 0:25:27simply because of the abundance of food supply
0:25:27 > 0:25:31and it does have a lot of carnivorous plants.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- We're going to go for it? Yes. - Well, I think we have to.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I don't know.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK, we don't know this.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- We don't know. We're going to try Africa.- Africa?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43With all our fingers crossed.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47OK, Venus flytrap. I call you the Venus flytrap of quizzing, don't I?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I know, but I don't know where they grow!
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Kevin, Chris, you saw the question there. Do you think it's Africa?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57We think it's North America, Dermot.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01The only place it grows wild is a meteor crater in Arizona
0:26:01 > 0:26:03which lends some credence to the notion
0:26:03 > 0:26:06it might be of extraterrestrial origin. It's North America.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Just goes to prove the value of those head-to-heads.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's North America.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17North America. And if you had not knocked Chris out, Melinda,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20he would have provided the correct answer,
0:26:20 > 0:26:25as he knows it's grown in some crater and they think it might be extraterrestrial.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29It's not over yet but you have a major, major opportunity.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33We will not hear from the Eggheads again if you give me a correct answer to this.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38All you will hear will be the sound of cheering and somebody writing you a cheque for £23,000.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43So it's a very, very important question. No pressure at all.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45What name is given to the group of peers that,
0:26:45 > 0:26:46with the Lords Spiritual,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49makes up the membership of the House of Lords?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57What name is given to the groups of peers that,
0:26:57 > 0:26:58with the Lords Spiritual,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01makes up the membership of the House of Lords?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06INTERPRETER: I would say temporal.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Er, no, I'm not 100% sure, though.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- I'm 75%.- I don't know.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- I don't know.- We'll leave it to you.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18We'll leave it to you, Charles.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I think it's the middle one.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22INTERPRETER: I think it's the Lords Temporal.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You're going for that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28For £23,000...
0:27:28 > 0:27:33The House of Lords is made up of the Lords Spiritual...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and the Lords...
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Temporal. It's the right answer! You've won £23000!
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Well, what a game! What a game! That was a roller-coaster, wasn't it? You started off...
0:27:51 > 0:27:55You started off and Richard and Martin played very well.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59They were just unlucky with their questions. They didn't suit them.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01They lost, you were looking down in the dumps.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I thought, "Oh, what's going to happen?" Then you turned it round.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09First of all, Judy, with a storming victory against Kevin there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That was very lucky questions for me.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16I think you handled them very well. And then Melinda backed you up there and kicked Chris out.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18As we heard there in the Final Round,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22what a crucial victory that was. You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25You've proved that they can be beaten.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
