0:00:03 > 0:00:07These 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?
0:00:23 > 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've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:41 > 0:00:43are Culture '08 from Liverpool.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47They've quizzed together regularly at their local pub, the Acorn,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50where Ken and son Mark set the questions. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Ken. I'm 76 and I'm a retired insurance salesman.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Mark. I'm 52 and I'm a student.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Hilary. I'm 72 and I'm retired.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Peter. I'm 77 and I'm a retired insurance underwriter.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 52 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Well, welcome to you, Culture '08. So we've worked out Ken and Mark -
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- father and son. There's another family relationship in the team, isn't there?- There is.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Hilary and Peter, sitting next to each other, are brother and sister.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- I can tell. Andy, no blood relations, then, here? - No, just a friend.- Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Close friend, though.- Keen quizzer? - Very keen, yes.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And named the team after '08, of course. Liverpool, City of Culture.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38That went very well. There was so much going on.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Yeah, it did. Apparently, there's been a tremendous influx of visitors, I understand.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- And a giant spider.- What was the giant spider all about?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- The mechanical giant spider. - Oh, yes, I saw that.- Back in early September.- Right, yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56May be a question about that. OK. Let's play the game.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Good to see you here, Culture '08. Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10So, Culture '08, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And the task in front of you involves this first category. It is Film & Television.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Who would like to play this? Any one of you can play.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Stick to the plan?- Stick to what we said, yes.- Stick to the plan. - Me?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Me.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm throwing myself on the grenade.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- I'm going for it.- To save the others.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Who do you want to play, then, Ken?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Any suggestions, team? - I would suggest Chris.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- OK.- General agreement, I think. - Chris. OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Let's have Ken and Chris into the question room, to make sure there's no conferring.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51So, Ken, continuing the Liverpool theme, your family know one of its most famous sons, don't you?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Yeah. Yes, we do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Paul McCartney.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Known him for... Since he was a schoolboy, actually.- Really?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Keen on the music even then, as a young lad?
0:03:01 > 0:03:08- Oh, fantastic. He was composing tunes and that sort of thing, songs, even then.- OK, Ken.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11In this round, Film & Television, what do you want to do?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Do you want to start, or let Chris begin?- Yes, I'll start, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Good luck, Ken. First question.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Under The Sea and Kiss The Girl are songs from which animated film?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, I've no idea, because I haven't seen any of them.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I suppose, with Kiss The Girl in it,
0:03:36 > 0:03:42The Little Mermaid is a likely contender. Er...
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- I really don't know. I'll go for The Little Mermaid.- The Little Mermaid.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Kiss The Girl, I see.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's the right answer. The Little Mermaid.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Well done.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Well worked out there, Ken.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Little clue there, the girl in the title of Kiss The Girl. OK, first question to you, Chris.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Knots Landing was a spin-off from which long-running TV show?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12That was a spin-off, not that I ever watched it,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16from Dynasty, I think. It was the Colbys in Denver.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- So I think it was Dynasty, yeah.- OK.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Shall we say it the American way, DIE-nasty?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- DIE-nasty. - DIE-nasty and Falcon Crest.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28But, CJ, you have a... You're shaking your head?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32The spin-off from Dynasty which involved the Colbys was The Colbys.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Ah, that was The Colbys, the spin-off from Dynasty.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The spin-off from Dallas was Knots Landing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Wasn't that where one of the brothers who fell out with JR went?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45No, it was a hidden son who appeared for a while
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and then disappeared again.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Gary.- That was the one, yes.- Gary. See? Look at that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Who was Lucy's father. - Oh, yes, he was,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- wasn't he? - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Got one on the Eggheads there! There we are.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02OK, it's one-nil to you, Ken. Well done.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Second question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Superintendent Mullett is a character
0:05:06 > 0:05:09in the TV series featuring which detective?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13It's Frost.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Frost it is. Well done.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Two to you. OK, Chris,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21you've got to get this. Who starred as Donna
0:05:21 > 0:05:25in the 2008 film version of the musical Mamma Mia!?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Well, it's not Barbra Streisand, because she's not in it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35And I don't know the character's name, as such.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38But as far as I can make out, the female lead is Meryl Streep.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41If Donna's the female lead, it is Meryl Streep.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Meryl Streep. You're right, Chris.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But you got your first one wrong.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Ken, you win the round if you get this. Who plays Lindsay Carter in the TV series Honest?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Honest. Whoa!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I think I would discount Amanda Redman.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Doesn't sound... I've never seen it. Never seen Honest. But, er...
0:06:07 > 0:06:13..doesn't sound like her type of part.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So I'd go for one of the other two.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Lindsay Carter. Honest.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Er...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Well, they're both cockneys, aren't they?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I'll go for Pauline Quirke. - Pauline Quirke.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Is she Lindsay Carter?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33She's not.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It is Amanda Redman.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Gives Chris a chance to level it up.
0:06:37 > 0:06:44Chris, who directed the 2008 film Gone Baby Gone, based on the book by Dennis Lehane?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Hmm...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Well, Ben Affleck writes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I don't think Robert Downey Jnr's directed anything.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's between Matt Damon
0:07:01 > 0:07:05and Ben Affleck, and on balance, I'd go for Matt Damon.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06OK, Matt Damon.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Not Robert Downey Jnr, you think.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13You were right about that. But, Chris - there is a but -
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- it's Ben Affleck. - Ben Affleck, yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Eggheads' heads went down there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Ben Affleck's brother plays the lead role - Casey Affleck.- Ah!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Gone Baby Gone, directed by Ben Affleck.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26You know what I'm going to say, Chris.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You're gone, baby, gone.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well done, Ken. You're through to the final round.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well, a super start by Culture '08 there,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42and in particular, Ken zapping Chris out of the final round.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44One Egghead, at least, will be missing.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Let's play our next subject, then. This one's Music.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Who'd like to play this? It can't be Ken.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm sure you'd probably do well at this as well, Ken,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- but you're safe for the final round. - Passes from father to son - to me.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Down the line to Mark. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- We'll take Barry, please. - Are you an Egghead winner?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08OK, give Barry a go at Music. Let's have Mark and Barry into the question room, please.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14So, Mark, you've got to decide. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Er...I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Your wish is my command, Mark.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Barry, which band had a UK number one hit single in 1977 with Knowing Me, Knowing You?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I shall resist the temptation to sing it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- But it was definitely Abba. - Or say, "Ah-ha!"
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I didn't say that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It is the right answer. Abba, Knowing Me, Knowing You.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43So swiftly over to Mark.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Marti Pellow became famous as the lead singer of which group?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I actually asked this question in a quiz that I set
0:08:55 > 0:08:58about three weeks ago.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It's Wet, Wet, Wet, Dermot. - Certainly is. Wet, Wet, Wet.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05And there's a-ha there. I wonder... They were Norwegians, weren't they?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Morten Harket, Paul Furuholmen and Magne Waaktaar.- Very good!
0:09:10 > 0:09:15A-ha. Right, second question each. Both starting very securely, there.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21Barry, for what do the initials BB stand in the name of the guitarist BB King?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, Big Brother's a nice idea.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32But I can't see that, somehow. And he may have been born in Boston,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- but as he was a blues star, I would say Blues Boy.- It is Blues Boy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38That's right, Barry. OK.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Second one for you, Mark.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45In which year did Johnny Logan win the Eurovision Song Contest with What's Another Year?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Er...I would reckon he's too young
0:09:54 > 0:09:58to have been '60 or '70, so I'll plump for 1980.
0:09:58 > 0:10:041980. And it's the right answer. Well done, Mark. Well done.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- He's written some.- He won twice.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- He also wrote a winning song. - He was interviewed about it,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13and the interviewer made the mistake of saying, "You've won twice,"
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and he was quite shirty about it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17He said, "No, three, actually."
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Because he'd won one as a writer, as well.- I see.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Barry, third question. You're both going well. Two-all.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Barry, which American composer's Third Symphony,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1947, is known as The Camp Meeting?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Interesting question. I don't really know the answer to this one.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I wasn't aware of Aaron Copland writing any symphonies.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I know Leonard Bernstein has, and I'm pretty certain Charles Ives has.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I thought I knew most of the Bernstein symphonies,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- and I've not heard of that one, so I shall go for Charles Ives.- OK.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Happy Eggheads, agreeing with you. Charles Ives is correct.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59The Camp Meeting.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So you've got to get this, Mark.
0:11:01 > 0:11:09Which opera, first performed in 1892, ends with the line, "La commedia e finita"?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Which opera, first performed in 1982,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18ends with the line, "La commedia e finita"?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20"La commedia e finita."
0:11:20 > 0:11:25The comedy, the comedy drama is finished, is ended.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Um...my instinct says Pagliacci.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33So I'm going to go with Pagliacci.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38OK. Instinct to Pagliacci. Barry nods. It's the right answer.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well done. He knows you're going to sudden death.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Sudden death, Mark, means, I'm sure you well know,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49but just to underline it, we don't offer you any more choices, in terms of the answers.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55So Barry first. Bag It Up was a solo UK number one hit single in 2000 for which of the Spice Girls?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58At least I know the names of the Spice Girls, so that helps.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And I know Victoria Beckham hasn't had a number one,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05so that's helping even more - that leaves four of them.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- Well, I shall go for the Spice Girl who really can sing and say Melanie C.- OK. Mel C.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12No, it's not.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Not Mel C. It's Geri Halliwell.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Ginger Spice. Geri Halliwell.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So a chance to win it for you, Mark,
0:12:21 > 0:12:26and father and son would then be through to the final round. Here's your question.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31"Bouche fermee" is a musical term for what activity?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Well, bouche fermee means mouth closed.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Er...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So I will say
0:12:41 > 0:12:44that it means humming.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Bouche fermee is humming. It's the right answer, yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52"Closed-mouth singing", quite literally,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55as you identified there. Well, it is father and son
0:12:55 > 0:12:58through to the final round and playing for the money today.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Barry, you're not going to be there.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Well, Mark, are you glad you went second, then, in that round?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Did you fancy Barry's questions? - I certainly didn't fancy the Spice Girls one.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I wouldn't have got that, no.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20So that probably was the decider. I'm sure Barry knew yours as well. Well, well done. As I say,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24the Tynans in the final round and so at least three of you there.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Let's see if we can get a fourth through in this round - Arts & Books.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Who'd like to play this?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think it was decided that I was...
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- You're going to do Arts & Books? - Peter, yes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- The literary man. - Yes. The literary brain.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- Who are you going to take on?- Right. - Barry and Chris have played, down the end.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47So, working towards me, Daphne, CJ or Kevin.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- I think I should take on CJ.- CJ? OK. I think we're having CJ.- CJ.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- CJ, please, Dermot. - It's not History - yes!
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Or Geography.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00OK, let's have Peter and CJ into the question room, then, please.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Well, Peter, going well so far for Culture '08.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Let's hope you can keep it up. And do you want to go first or second?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK, then. Good luck, Peter.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19In which year was the painter David Hockney born?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, it certainly wasn't 1917.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31'37 would make him...
0:14:32 > 0:14:33..43.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I think I'll go for down the middle.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- 1937, Dermot.- '37.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You think he's over 70. And you're right.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Yes, David Hockney, born in 1937.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48OK, CJ.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52In the novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, what is Cranford?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Do you know, I didn't actually watch this when it was on.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I just thought it was the name of the village.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I may be shooting myself in the foot,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10but village just seems so obvious, I have to go for village.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Yeah, Cranford, the village. Yes, it's right. Of course.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Easing you in.- Supposed to be based
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- on Knutsford in Cheshire.- I see. So it's all square. Peter...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23"We are such stuff
0:15:23 > 0:15:26"As dreams are made on; and our little life
0:15:26 > 0:15:29"Is rounded with a sleep," are lines from which Shakespeare play?
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Well, I was never a great Shakespeare lover, but I do...
0:15:37 > 0:15:43One of the subjects we had when I was doing my School Certificate
0:15:43 > 0:15:46was The Tempest.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52And that sounds the sort of speech that Prospero might have made.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Certainly not Henry V or Hamlet. I'll plump for The Tempest.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The Tempest is correct. Well done, Peter.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Right, CJ.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07What term is used for the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15This is what we like to call a classic quiz question,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19because I've never even heard of this term elsewhere,
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- but it's chiaroscuro. - It is. Very well said.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Like the Italian accent.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Correct answer. So, two each. All square. Peter,
0:16:29 > 0:16:35the death by drowning of Steenie Mucklebackit is an important moment
0:16:35 > 0:16:37in which book by Walter Scott?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Well, this is something I do not know.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I've never read any of Walter Scott's novels.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53- I think I'll go for Guy Mannering. - Guy Mannering. Eggheads? Others?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Waverley?- No.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Not Guy Mannering, not Waverley. It is therefore...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- The Antiquary.- The Antiquary for Steenie Mucklebackit.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05OK, gives CJ a chance
0:17:05 > 0:17:08to pinch the round with this. When Sigmund Freud
0:17:08 > 0:17:13met Virginia Woolf in 1939, he famously presented her with which flower?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I don't know. Simply because of its connotations, I'll say narcissus.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's the right answer. Well done, CJ. Narcissus is correct.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Which means the first member of Culture '08
0:17:27 > 0:17:30falls by the wayside. I'm sorry to say it's you, Peter.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Culture '08 have lost their first brain from the final round.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41The Eggheads have lost two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45And our last subject before the final round is Sport.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Who'd like to play this - Hilary or Andy?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Oh, Peter!- That was mine, wasn't it?- Oh, bad luck.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You've already played. So, Hilary or Andy?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- You go, Andy. - Think it's going to be Andy.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm really out on Sport.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well, I'm not really very good.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- But...- What do you think, Ken? - Ken, you're the leader.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- It's a question of who stays on for the end, isn't it?- Well, I'll nominate you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Thank you. - We're going to nominate Andy.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- I've been nominated.- Team captain, then, I see, pulling rank. Andy, who do you want to play?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Maybe he'll let you decide who you play. Daphne or Kevin? - Daphne, please.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Shucks!- You're just going, "Doesn't make any difference, does it?"
0:18:26 > 0:18:29OK. Let's have Andy and Daphne in the question room to play Sport.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Right, let's play this Sport round. Andy, rather reluctantly in there.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42OK. Good luck, Andy.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Which Suffolk town is home to the National Horseracing Museum?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Well, on my travels, I have actually been around Cambridgeshire,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and there's loads of racehorses round there.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59So I think the answer is Newmarket.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Yes, Newmarket is correct.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Good start. Daphne,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07in which year was the Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton born?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm probably going to get this wrong.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17No, he's not 28. 1985.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19A very young man.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23He is, yes, that is the right answer. 1985. Lewis Hamilton,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25born in that year. Andy, second question.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Which Portuguese football player was signed by Chelsea in July 2008?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Cristiano Ronaldo, I think, is associated with Manchester United.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Is that right? So I will discount him.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Deco - not a name I'm familiar with.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'll have to plump for Nuno Gomes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58OK. Nuno Gomes. Does he play for Chelsea?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59No.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- It's not Nuno Gomes. Do you know it, Daphne?- It's Deco.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Yeah, Deco.- Do you know, I would have got that right?!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09A football question!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13This is your second question, Daphne.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19In 1993, Javier Sotomayor achieved a world record in which athletics event?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- High jump.- You like that. You're not bad at athletics.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I like athletics.- Track and field. It's the right answer. High jump.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Which means, Andy, you've got to get this.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35In which sport do you have a high house and a low house?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43No, never heard of them. Um...
0:20:43 > 0:20:47A high house would sound sensible for pigeons, I suppose.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I'm wondering why longbow archery is there.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Um...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I will try longbow archery.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I suppose they're all plausible if you don't know them.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02You mentioned clay pigeon shooting.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05That would have been the right answer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I turn to Daphne, but no need to put a question to you.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It does mean, Andy, you won't be playing in the final round.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Daphne, you're going to be there. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:21:24 > 0:21:27won't be allowed to take part in this round. So...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Peter and Andy from Culture '08 and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40So, Ken, Mark and Hilary, you're playing to win Culture '08 £5,000.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You are, of course, allowed to confer.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58So, Culture '08, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Ken, Mark and Hilary, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Shall we go first?- First? - Fine. Go first.- Yes, yes. - First, please, Dermot, we'll try.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11First set of questions
0:22:11 > 0:22:14for Culture '08, and good luck to you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19What name is given to a group of eggs fertilised at the same time,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23laid in a single session and, in birds, incubated together?
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Shall we go with that?- Well, yeah, it seems to be what we all decided.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- We're going for clutch, Dermot. - A clutch of eggs.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Yes, it is. Of course, yes. Clutch is correct.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Clutch of Eggheads.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44OK, first question for you, Eggheads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49In Girl Guiding, Brownie packs are traditionally divided up into groups known as what?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- You know it.- Sixes?- Yes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Sixes, yes.- Right.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- I was never in the Brownies, so... - Doesn't show.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06- I'm reliably informed it's sixes. - Were you in the Brownies or Guides?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I was a patrol leader in the Guides.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Ah!- Yes.- Did they have a quizzing badge then?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- No! We didn't have quizzes in those days.- No.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Too busy running from sabre-toothed tigers.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19OK. Brownie packs,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23and of course other packs in the Scout movement, divided into sixes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yes. It's correct.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29OK, another question for each team. Culture '08.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Vasovagal syncope is the medical term for what condition?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Vasovagal syncope.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Do want me to spell...- Can you spell that, please?- Yeah, you bet.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Two words - vasovagal... V-A-S-O-V-A-G-A-L.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So you have vasovagal. Then syncope.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53S-Y-N-C-O-P-E.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I don't think it's snoring.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I've heard what snoring is and I'm sure it's not that.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I don't know what it is.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Vasovagal?- Yes. - Are we going for blushing?- Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- It pushes me towards blushing, yeah. Do you think?- Go for blushing.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Shall we go for blushing?- Mmm.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- Going to try blushing, Dermot. - It's not blushing.- Fainting?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- DAPHNE:- Fainting. - Fainting?- Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22What are the roots to it? Can we take vasovagal syncope apart?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You stop breathing, don't you?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Vaso refers to veins. - I see. So...blushing...
0:24:29 > 0:24:34- It's cutting off the blood supply which causes it.- But blushing -
0:24:34 > 0:24:36you can see that fitting as well.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Certainly not snoring. But it wasn't blushing. It's fainting.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42So, Eggheads, a chance for the lead.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The world's smallest flightless bird,
0:24:45 > 0:24:50found only on Inaccessible Island in the Atlantic, is what type of bird?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It's a rail. - It's got to be a rail.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Kakapo's New Zealand.- Kakapo's a parrot.- Rheas are far too big.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- A rhea is a big, ostrich-type thing.- Huge.- Enormous.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's got to be a rail.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09By process of elimination, we believe it must be a rail,
0:25:09 > 0:25:14kakapo being a parrot-type bird from New Zealand and rheas being
0:25:14 > 0:25:18rather large birds in South America which are like ostriches or emus.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- So it must a rail.- OK. That's what you think. Rail is correct.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Inaccessible Island, home of the rail.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27So...means you've got to get this, guys.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Culture '08...Hans Scharoun's Philharmonie building,
0:25:32 > 0:25:38completed in 1963, is home to the Philharmonic Orchestra of which city?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- Berlin, Vienna or Basle. - Hans Scharoun.- Any idea?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- No idea at all.- Hans Scharoun. - How would you spell the Scharoun?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53S-C-H-A-R-O-U-N.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- They're all German-type names. - Yeah, yeah.- Austrian or German.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I don't know why I think it, but I think Berlin.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07- Philharmonie.- But they've all... Vienna's got a Philharmonic.- Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09No, no, no. I'm thinking
0:26:09 > 0:26:14from the point of view of it being a new hall for the orchestra.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Berlin will have been pasted during the war.- Mmm.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Whereas Vienna and Basle...
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- or BASEL, as they call it now... - May not have needed one.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Shall we go for Berlin? - We'll go for Mark's Berlin, yes.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Go for broke with Berlin. - With great confidence.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Course, you've got a Philharmonic, haven't you, in Liverpool?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- We have, indeed. - It's Berlin. It's the right answer.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39It's correct, yeah. Well worked out there.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Yes. Hans Scharoun.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- It's a very modernist building. - I see, OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52Well, Eggheads, you, though, can win it, because of vasovagal syncope,
0:26:52 > 0:26:57if you get this - if not, we go to sudden death. So it's not over yet, Culture '08.
0:26:57 > 0:27:05Eggheads, from which country did Thor Heyerdahl set off on his memorable Kon-Tiki voyage of 1947?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Set off from Peru on one of them. But was that Kon-Tiki?- Not Egypt.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Egypt was Ra.- Yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Makes sense.- I'm trying to remember which way round he did the voyage.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Because he voyaged from... - Which one was Tigris? Ra was Egypt.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Where was Tigris?- Well, that was Mesopotamia - Euphrates.- Right.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's Peru, then, because he went to Tahiti.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- He's got to prove that settlers could have gone there.- Yes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I don't recognise Tahiti. I always associate Peru with...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It wasn't really Tahiti. It was more Tuamotu.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- I think it's Peru.- Anyway, no, that's fine. OK, Peru.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Peru is what you're saying.- It's right.- And it is the right answer.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Yes, it's correct. Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Well, that's almost a draw, really, I think.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04If you played that again, the outcome could be very different indeed.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10Great quizzing from the Tynan father and son. From Andy and Peter, too, but it wasn't to be for them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11But one question in it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Thank you very much for coming along today
0:28:14 > 0:28:16and giving the Eggheads a run for their money,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20and telling us all about Liverpool and the year of culture.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31The money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
