0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Question 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, as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The team are all County Cricket scorers and take their name
0:00:43 > 0:00:47from their cricketing predecessors, who would traditionally
0:00:47 > 0:00:50make notches on a piece of wood to keep score. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Alan. I'm 70.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm the Lancashire scorer and a retired examinations board official.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm John. I'm 71.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I'm the Derbyshire scorer and a retired schoolteacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Anthony. I'm 82.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I score for Hampshire Cricket Club and I'm a retired newsagent.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Keith. I'm 66.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I'm the Surrey scorer and also a freelance author.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hello, I'm Mike. I'm 62.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm the Sussex scorer and a retired army officer.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Maybe we ought to adopt this practice. Stick of wood for Eggheads and keep the score that way.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Just tell me what this used to involve, then? Old style notching.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Do notching sticks still exist?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I guess they must be highly prized if there are a few of them around.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- I suppose there's some in the Lord's museum.- Do you still make sure you keep a record,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38in a big ledger with your own handwriting, and the rest of it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Oh, yes. We have a laptop. But that's really to get the scores down to Teletext.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46The important thing is the book. It will remain for 100 years in the pavilion.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51And people can look at and sort things out. Laptop's just an excrescence.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Nice sense of history, isn't it?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- About you building on generations that have gone before you.- Yup.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Let's see how you do against the Eggheads. I'm sure you're hoping for a certain round to come up.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01We'll see if that happens today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Notchers, the Eggheads have won the last game,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Our first head to head battle will be on the subject of Film And Television.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Who'd like to play this one?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Mine, I think, Alan. OK.- So, it's going to be you, Keith, is it?- Yes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30You need to choose an opponent. Bit like cricket. One against the other.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Bit like cricket. I'll go for Barry, please.- Go for Barry.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37See if you can knock a notch or two off him in Film And Television.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41OK, can I ask Keith and Barry please to take their positions in the question room
0:02:41 > 0:02:43to make sure there's no conferring.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Keith, you write about cricket, as well?- I do write about cricket.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I'm a bit of a specialist on late 19th-century cricket.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So, it's a niche market within a niche market, really.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57But it keeps a few hundred people happy.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02What state was English cricket in in the late 19th century?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- Well, we used to beat Australia. So, probably rather better than it is now.- OK, Keith. Film and Television.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16That means you're first, Barry. Here it is. At the crease.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20What is the name of the neighbour of Bill and Ben, TV's Flowerpot Men?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27How I love that programme. It was Little Weed.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31It's the right answer, yes. Bill and Ben's neighbour, Little Weed.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34OK, first question to you then, Keith.
0:03:34 > 0:03:41What is the often quoted repeated line from the climax of the 1960 film Spartacus?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I did see this.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49But it was a French version.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And I'm not sure of the answer.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58So, I'll take a guess and go straight down the middle for I'm Spartacus!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Je suis Spartacus!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Je suis Spartacus!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06As opposed to "Il est" or "Vous etes"!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's the right answer. Well, done, yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK, Barry, second question.
0:04:11 > 0:04:18Who played the liberal-minded juror eight in the 1957 film Twelve Angry Men?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24A wonderful film in which juror eight was the only one
0:04:24 > 0:04:27who thought that the accused was innocent.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And everybody else thought he was guilty.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And bit by bit he convinced everybody to look at the evidence
0:04:33 > 0:04:35and realise that he was right and they were all wrong.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36It was Henry Fonda.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Henry Fonda, juror eight in Twelve Angry Men.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's the right answer, Barry.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So, that's two to you. And back to Keith for a second question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50Keith, who directed the 2008 George Bush Junior biopic, W?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I saw this quite recently.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59An excellent film. Beautiful political satire.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- But I didn't pay too much attention to the credits at the end.- Oh, no!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I thought you were going to cruise into the answer there.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Telling me all about the film. Yes, we need the director.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I wish I could. Again, it's...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14it's a one in three chance. So, I'll go...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'll go for Steven Soderbergh.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OK, Steven Soderbergh. Seen the film, enjoyed it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Didn't stay for the credits. It's Oliver Stone.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26It's Oliver Stone. OK, well there we are.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So, it means a chance for you to win the round here, Barry.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34What is the name of the school that Troy and Gabriella attend in the film, High School Musical?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Are you a fan, Barry?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Sadly not.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And my children unfortunately are the wrong age to be fans, as well.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47But I seem to think it was East High.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Or I hope it's East High.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53East High. It is the high of high school musical.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55That's the right answer, Barry.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Which means you're through to the final round.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I suppose in cricketing terms, Keith,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- you stood on your wicket there. - I think I did, yes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04That means you won't be in the final round.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Well, Keith's back in the pavilion, but plenty more waiting to have a knock.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Let's see how you do with our next category. As it stands, one of the Notchers out.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17The Eggheads are all still there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Our next subject today is History.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Now, I know this will suit quite a few of you interested in History.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Probably Keith there but you can't play, Keith.- I'll do History.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Who shall I take on?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Shall we try CJ?- If you wish.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Anthony would like to take on CJ.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36OK, Anthony, you will have your wish.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Could I ask both Anthony and CJ please to take their positions in the question room.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Anthony, did you play in your day, as well? Or have you always been a scorer?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I played... No, I played club cricket when I was a younger man
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and did a bit of umpiring along the way.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Now I've ended up with the score book.- What kind of relationship do you have with the umpires?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Very good.- Do you have a chat beforehand?- Oh, yes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:05Just to know an individual umpire's idiosyncrasies and how they might signal a leg-by or whatever.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I think I can speak for all of my colleagues when I say we get on very well with the umpires.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13And we both seem to know what each other wants.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And it makes a very happy day.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Do you want to go first or second in this round, Anthony? - Well, I think I'll go in first.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26OK. In first. Anthony, first question then.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31What title was granted to Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert in 1857?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Well, he wasn't Prince of Wales because that was Edward...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41became Edward VII later on.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It certainly wasn't Prince Regent.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The answer must be Prince Consort.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49That's right, yes. Good start.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So, one to Antony there. CJ,
0:07:52 > 0:07:58on which date in 1789 did the storming of the Bastille in Paris take place?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That was on Bastille Day, Dermot.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Yes, but it became Bastille Day
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- because it happened on one of those dates.- Oh, I see.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12The 14th day of one of those months.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'll try July then, Dermot.
0:08:14 > 0:08:1714th of July is the correct answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Second question coming to you, Anthony.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22In which year did the emperor Honorius
0:08:22 > 0:08:27send a message to the inhabitants of Britain, stating that they must be prepared
0:08:27 > 0:08:33to defend themselves against foreign invasion, thus effectively ending all Roman influence in the country?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Well, 810 was too late.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think 110 was too early.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52I think the Romans were in Britain for about 400 years, yes.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I will go for AD 410.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58410, Honorius sending a message...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01saying they're coming and I'm off!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It's 410, it's the right answer. Well, done, yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Amazing isn't that Roman occupation and Roman influence lasted so long?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11A lot of people think it was all over quite quickly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I mean, what's Julius Caesar?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- 55 BC.- 55.
0:09:16 > 0:09:25OK, CJ, which historical figure was executed in 1618 under a sentence passed 15 years earlier?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Well, that's interesting. It's not Mary, Queen of Scots.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That was 1587, I think.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So, 15 years earlier was 1603.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41That's the year that Elizabeth died.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Walter Raleigh certainly had I think a death sentence
0:09:46 > 0:09:49passed on him by Elizabeth.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54And I'm at a bit of a loss of who Robert Devereux is.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56No, no. I'll go for Walter Raleigh.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's the right answer, yes. And I'd love some more information on this.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Any Eggheads able to tell me this?- Barry knows.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Why 15 years later, then? Under a...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- under a different monarch?- It may have been because he married
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Elizabeth Throckmorton who Elizabeth I didn't approve of.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12because she hadn't given her permission.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16But she didn't have the heart to carry it out.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19And he had a chance to redeem himself by James I,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22by going on an exhibition to Panama in Central America.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And James was rather hoping he could repeat the...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- And exhibition? - An expedition, sorry. OK.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30James was rather hoping he could capture some Spanish gold
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and bring it back and fill the coiffeurs up.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36But the expedition was a dismal failure.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And as a result of that he executed him.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Under the old warrant that had never been lifted.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK, well, poor old Walter Raleigh
0:10:44 > 0:10:47means it's all square and everything to play for.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Anthony, a third question for you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53On which island did Tackey's Revolt take place in the 18th century?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Yes, this one's got me thinking.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I don't think it was in the West Indies.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So that would tend to rule out Jamaica.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think probably Tasmania.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12I'll go for Tasmania.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16OK, Tackey's Revolt in Tasmania, you think.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It's incorrect.- Oh, dear.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's the first one you ruled out.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's Jamaica in the West Indies, Tackey's Revolt.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Eggheads, what or who was Tackey?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Leader of a slave uprising. Petered out.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31OK. So, a chance for CJ to win the round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35CJ, on which continent did the so-called Beka culture thrive
0:11:35 > 0:11:38in the third millennium BC?
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Well, it's not Asia. The Beka people, I think, were more Northern
0:11:45 > 0:11:51and more Western Europe. No, it's...it's Europe.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Europe?- Yeah.- Beka culture. It's the right answer, CJ.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58So, CJ, it means you're through to the final round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And no place for you, Anthony.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08OK, well as it stands the Notchers have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13The Eggheads are all intact. But early days, you're just warming up.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Let's have another crack at them, shall we? And this category is Sport.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Well, I bet you'd all like to play this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24But only three of you are eligible. Alan, John or Mike.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Do you want to go? Because...unless it comes up Food And Drink.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Go on, you go for it.- OK, all right. - You fancy it, John?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Yes.- OK, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36It can't be CJ or Barry. So, Chris, Daphne or Judith.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I think Judith knows I'm going to ask her.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42It looks like you'll have to drag her kicking and screaming.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Yeah, might.- No, no, no, no, no!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Could I ask you both please to take your positions in the question room?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53And John, you've scored at test matches at Lord's very recently, yeah?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Lord's was the last one, yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59And is that extra pressure, or is it just another day with the ledger?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03It was an exciting experience. But no, just another day scoring.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's played at a slower pace than County championship.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And so in some ways it's an easier job.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Let's see how you score here, John. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I think it's a limited overs match so I'll go first for today please.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Let's hope limited from Judith's point of view. Not yours, John.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27John, your first question is this. Juan Pablo Montoya
0:13:27 > 0:13:29has been a leading figure in which sport?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Well, I certainly haven't heard of him in golf. Nor in snooker.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42So I hope that he is a motor racer.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Motor racing is the right answer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Juan Pablo Montoya. So, Judith, first question now to you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54Sir Allen Stanford put up 20 million prize money for a single match in which sport in 2008?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00That should have been his question. It's cricket.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Oh, you know it! Cricket is correct.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04John nodding along there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Sir Allen Stanford put up a lot money. Who won? Do you know, Judith?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, it wasn't England.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12That's for sure.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16OK. Right, on we go. Glossing over the result of that.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22John, in 1997, who became the youngest female Wimbledon singles winner for over hundred years?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Well, tennis isn't one of my top sports.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to say the wrong one.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37But I'm going to say Martina Hingis.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41OK. It's correct. Martina Hingis in 1997.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Martina Hingis is still the second youngest winner after Lottie Dod.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Lottie Dod? When was that, then? - About 1880s, I think.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Right. Second question for you then, Judith. You're behind as you know.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55To which team was Alan Hansen referring
0:14:55 > 0:15:00when he said, "You'll never win anything with kids," in the 1995-96 football season?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06It's no good asking me questions like that.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Sorry.
0:15:09 > 0:15:1096?
0:15:10 > 0:15:1395-96 football season. The quotation from Alan Hansen
0:15:13 > 0:15:17"You'll never win anything with kids," referring to which team?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Manchester United seems to be...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25They've had a very long run of being at the top, haven't they?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm going to say Manchester United.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Manchester United.- Yes. - Why are saying that?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Because they've had a very long run.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35And what's his name Ferguson
0:15:35 > 0:15:38has been there about that length of time, I think.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And maybe when he moved over and took it over, they were all kids.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Logic's absolutely up the shoot, I can tell you that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Sir Alex Ferguson's been there a lot longer than that.- Has he?- Yes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But you are right about the club.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Manchester United. And the kids.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58That crop included the likes of David Beckham,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I suppose even Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Anyway, the right answer's been supplied by you, Judith.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06For whatever reasons. Manchester United.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You'll be glad to get that one under your belt.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- I will, yes. - Getting a football question right.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- That's miraculous. - OK. It's two all then.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And, John, a third question.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Which heavyweight boxer won 26 of his first 28 fights by stoppage,
0:16:19 > 0:16:2215 of them in the first round?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I think you've only got to look at me
0:16:28 > 0:16:31to see that boxing is not my strong point either.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37I don't think Muhammad Ali won as quickly as that.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I think I'm going to go for Rocky Marciano.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44OK, Rocky Marciano.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Looking for someone with a heck of a punch.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49He certainly had one.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52But not Rocky Marciano. It's Mike Tyson, down the middle there.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Mike Tyson.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Whoa! A chance for Judith
0:16:57 > 0:16:58to deliver a knock-out blow.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Judith, on which golf course did Tiger Woods
0:17:01 > 0:17:07win the 2000 Open Championship with a record score of 19 under par?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It could have been any of those.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Yeah, but it wasn't. It was just one of them.- I know.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Maybe the millennium one was at St Andrews.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I mean that's, that's clinging on to a tiny bit of logic somewhere.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- So, is that your answer?- Yeah. - It's the right answer, Judith.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35You've got it! Manchester United and St Andrews now.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38A sporting expert is born.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Bad luck, John. It means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Judith, you will be. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:45 > 0:17:51Well, Notchers, you've now lost three brains from the final round. The Eggheads are all still there.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Time now for a bit of a knock. Somebody to stay at the crease and knock one of the Eggheads out.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Now, this next category...
0:17:56 > 0:18:01our last category before the final round...is Geography.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And from Alan or Mike, who'd like to play?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Mike's going to go. Who do you fancy?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- Mike, you want to play it? - I think I'll play it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12It is Daphne or Chris.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Daphne or Chris. - We'll go for Chris, I think.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Let's have Mike and Chris into the question room.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Well, Mike, as a former military man and now involved in cricket at a high level,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm guessing you must have travelled quite a lot.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Oh, a lot more since I've been in cricket than I did whilst I was in the army.- Really?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Yes. I had one trip to Singapore whilst I was in the army.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38But since then I've been to South Africa, Australia, India, Caribbean.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- All in cricket.- Would you like to go first or second, Mike?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I think I'll go first if I may, thank you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK. Good luck, Mike. Here you go.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52In which ocean are the Cook Islands located?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, I'm sure this comes from Captain Cook.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59And I don't think he went anywhere near the Arctic.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02He went through the Indian Ocean but the Cook Islands,
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I believe, are in the Pacific.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Good answer. It's a right one and a good start for you, Mike.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08That is correct.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Chris, the Grand Bazaar is at the centre of a commercial district of which city?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Well, bazaar is sort of Levantine, Oriental.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So it's got to be Istanbul.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar. Yes, it is. Good start for you both then.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29One each.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Mike, second question. In which country is the popular beach resort of Tarifa?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I can't say that's one immediately comes to mind.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I've been to Portugal and to Spain.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46And I don't remember it being either of those.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49But I may be wrong. Bit of a guess.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I think I'll go for Morocco.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Tarifa is in Spain.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Ah.- And very windy.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Noted for its windsurfing.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Very windy. It's the bit where you go round to the Atlantic.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Yeah. So, chance for Chris to take the lead.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08In which English county are the Howardian Hills,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11designated an area of outstanding natural beauty?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Yes, they're up near Castle Howard in North Yorkshire.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22North Yorkshire. Right answer. So, you've got the lead then, Chris.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25And pressure's on Mike. Needs to get this.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Trotternish is the northernmost peninsula of which Scottish island?
0:20:30 > 0:20:36I actually served in the Outer Hebrides for a while
0:20:36 > 0:20:38and I don't remember it being on Lewis.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41And I've also travelled through Skye a number of times.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43And I also don't remember there.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, I'm going to go for Mull.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Trotternish is in Skye.- Ah.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Your travels let you down there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56You've been to Spain and Portugal and missed out on Tarifa.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00And yeah, Skye you've been to and didn't spot Trotternish.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Means you won't be in the final round. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:21:13 > 0:21:15won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20So, John, Antony, Keith and Mike from the Notchers, would you leave the studio please?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25So, Alan, this is a bit like last man walking out to the crease.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Need a big innings from you. - I can't confer.- That's for sure.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Alan, you're playing to win the Notchers £2,000.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something money can't buy.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39The Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- You are allowed to confer. Alan can't. Do you want to go first, or second?- I might as well go first.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57First question. Which Hollywood star was the mother of Liza Minnelli?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Judy Garland.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Without hesitation. No need for conferring there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Judy Garland is the right answer, yes. Liza with a zee.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Your first question, Eggheads.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14What type of clothing are lederhosen,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17traditionally worn by men in the Alpine region and surrounding areas?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- They're shorts. - Give us a demonstration, Chris.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You wouldn't catch me dead in lederhosen.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- And they are?- They are shorts.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Shorts, lederhosen. Yes, we'll move swiftly on from that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It's one apiece and a good start from Alan. Nice and steady.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Here's your second question.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45In which Italian city would you find Caffe Florian, supposedly the oldest cafe in Italy?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Have you been to any of those cities... Venice, Rome or Turin?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I've been to Venice. I've been to Rome. I haven't been to Turin.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58The temptation is Rome because it's so old.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I think it probably isn't Rome.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02So, I'll go for Venice.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Venice. Venice is correct.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Caffe Florian, it's in Venice.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08OK, Eggheads. Second question.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Which group had a 2008 hit UK album entitled Only By The Night?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21That would be the Kings of Leon.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Leon? Leon.- Leon.- Leon.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's them. It's the right answer. Well, done, Eggheads.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So, two to you. But well done, Alan, on your own.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34If you get this, you might just beat them.
0:23:34 > 0:23:41MARTA is the abbreviation for the public transport system of which US city?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48It's M, A, R, T, A in capitals.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49MARTA.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It'll be the Metropolis of Atlanta Road Transport Association.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I'll go for Atlanta.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59There's plenty of As in there. And it's the right answer, well done.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Atlanta.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04So, three out of three.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Which means you've got to get this, Eggheads. Roger Alton
0:24:07 > 0:24:11was appointed editor of which national daily newspaper in 2008?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Not The Guardian because it's still Alan Rusbridger.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Alan, do you know what?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22When the Eggheads lost quite a lot money once,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I think it was a question about a
0:24:25 > 0:24:28national newspaper editor they got wrong. They don't like their...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Oh, no.- They don't like their national newspaper editors.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- It's not The Guardian, is it? - It's definitely not The Guardian.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I thought The Indie had changed... I mean, my instinct would be The Indie.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- So, what do you think, Judith? - No idea.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- No.- I vote for The Indie.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43CJ's got a gut feeling.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46We know it's not The Guardian. So, 50/50 go with The Indie.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Well, I vote Indie.- Indie.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I abstain because I have no... - I abstain because I...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Well, do you think it might be The Times?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Yeah, but I don't know.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58I don't know which one it is.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You'd have thought you'd go and learn your newspaper editors.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But look at you, sixes and sevens.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Dearie, dearie me. Right, I need...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I do need an answer. Roger Alton
0:25:07 > 0:25:12appointed editor of which national daily newspaper in 2008?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- What's your answer?- The Independent.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Roger Alton
0:25:16 > 0:25:19became editor of The Independent.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's the right answer, Eggheads. Look how much that matters.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24But you know I am astonished at you, genuinely.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Given that you lost your reputation.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Yeah, don't go on about it.- I'm not.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- It's very un-Egghead-like behaviour.- Don't go on about it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Right, let's see if you can knock this one for six, Alan.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's Sudden Death. Which means we've removed the multiple choices now.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42You've been doing so well, we've got though those three questions. Here it is.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46What's the name of the 109-carat diamond that was
0:25:46 > 0:25:52given to Queen Victoria after the annexation of the Punjab in 1849?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I only know two big diamonds.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59The Koh-I-Noor and the Cullinan.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05And Koh-I-Noor sounds more Punjab than Cullinan. I'll say Koh-I-Noor.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07is the right answer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Well, done, very well done, Alan.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Back to you, Eggheads.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Which plant with peppery-tasting leaves that are
0:26:15 > 0:26:20often used in salads, has a name from the Latin for nose twisting?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Which plant with peppery tasting leaves, that are
0:26:22 > 0:26:26often used in salads, has a name from the Latin for nose twisting?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Nasturtium, definitely. Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Nasturtium.- Nasturtium, yes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I was doing a bit of nose thumbing earlier, wasn't I?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Nasturtium. You've got that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40OK, Alan.
0:26:40 > 0:26:48What was the name of the arrangement which came into being in the UK in 1900, and effectively ended in 1995,
0:26:48 > 0:26:54by which publishers and booksellers set the prices at which books were to be sold to the public?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56There's only one phrase coming to my mind.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So, I can't think of another one.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01So, retail price maintenance.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03OK.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Fixing the price. I can...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I can see the logic but it's not the right answer.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10It is not retail price maintenance.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12First incorrect answer in this final round.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Eggheads, do you know? It could have been your question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17It's got book in it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, imagine that!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Is that why you're an Egghead?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24- The phrase has.- Yes, it has.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26No, it's...
0:27:26 > 0:27:30it is the Net Book Agreement.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Well, it means the Eggheads have got a chance.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It wasn't their question
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and the first wrong answer we've had in the final round.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Eggheads, Desmond Leslie, an expert on UFOs,
0:27:40 > 0:27:45gained infamy in 1962 when on the TV show That Was The Week That Was,
0:27:45 > 0:27:50he punched which critic in front of an audience of 11 million people?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53That would be Bernard Levin.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And the answer is Bernard Levin.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Only just.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Oh, oh, oh, oh! How does that feel, just to come within a whisker?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- I'm happy to have kept them going for a while.- Kept them going?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Notchers, thank you for coming in
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and telling us about cricket scoring and notching.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24It's really nice to have had you here on Eggheads and for giving them such a good game.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm afraid, you won't be going home with the £2,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:32 > 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 > 0:28:42£3,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
