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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, 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. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:43are Five Alive. The team all met through the organisation
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Inner Wheel, and along with socialising together,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51the team take part in an annual district quiz. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Betty. I'm 67, and I'm an antique dealer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Ailsa. I'm 64, and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Chris. I'm 59, and I'm a retired secretary.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Carole. I'm 63. I'm a retired personal bank manager.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Kathleen. I'm 77, and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Welcome, Five Alive. Thank you very much for coming along to take on the Eggheads today.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Tell me about the team name first of all, and the Inner Wheel. How did you come up with Five Alive?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Association is divided up into districts.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35And we are district five, so we decided we'd be Five Alive.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41- Makes sense. And the Inner wheel. I haven't come across the Inner Wheel before.- Ooh, that's disgusting!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'm sorry about that. So here's your chance. Enlighten me.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49We are the largest women's organisation in the world.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Bigger than the WI? - Bigger than the WI, yes.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58We're international. We're all related, in one respect, to Rotarians.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Right.- And we try to do the work that the Rotarians do, with a female touch,
0:02:03 > 0:02:09- a gentle touch.- So a lot of charity work?- Yes, and friendship, and fun.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15Well, listen. Let's see if you can beat the Eggheads today. Let me tell you what's been going on so far.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for Challengers,
0:02:18 > 0:02:23but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25The Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29which means £6,000 says YOU can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Let's get on with beating the Eggheads. I'm sure you'll do it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Politics is our first category today.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Who'd like to play this? - Right, girls...
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Who's into politics? - Um... I think Ailsa.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Ailsa.- Ailsa? Ailsa's going to do politics.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49OK, Ailsa. And which Egghead would you like to challenge?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Which of these beautiful people would you like? - Barry.- Barry, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Which of these beautiful people, or one of the Eggheads(?)
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- THEY LAUGH - Beautiful Barry. OK, it's going to be Ailsa and Barry playing politics.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Could I ask you to take your positions in the question room,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Ailsa, would you like to go first or second?- Er, first, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Good luck, Ailsa.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21Here's your question - who was Barack Obama's running-mate in the 2008 US elections?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Al Gore?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Well, I know Hillary Clinton tried to get the nomination.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Al Gore was a time before that.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It was Joe Biden.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Yes, Vice President Joe Biden. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Barry, the writer and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth
0:03:43 > 0:03:46was a member of parliament for which political party during the 1990s?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Conservative, Labour or Liberal Democrat?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Despite his interesting taste in jumpers, he was a Conservative.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58That's the correct answer. OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Good start for you both. Ailsa,
0:04:00 > 0:04:06with over 100,000 electors, which island is the largest parliamentary constituency in the UK?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Is it Anglesey, the Isle of Wight or Jersey?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Well, I've been to all three of these, erm...
0:04:15 > 0:04:21I've been to Anglesey quite recently but I think it's possibly Jersey.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- I'm going to go for Jersey.- OK.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27The largest in the UK is the the Isle of Wight.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It's the Isle of Wight, not Jersey.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK, well, a chance for the lead, Barry.
0:04:32 > 0:04:39Who was appointed secretary of state for transport in October 2008, after Ruth Kelly's resignation?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42John Hutton, Des Browne or Geoff Hoon?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Oh, dear. I really should know this.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think John Hutton is work and pensions...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55..and Geoff Hoon was a defence secretary...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00..as indeed is Des Browne. I think it's Geoff Hoon,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- but I'm not 100% certain on this one.- Not certain?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Geoff Hoon. You've got it, though. It's the right answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Took over at transport.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So you've got to get this, Ailsa. Good luck with it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15At which Oxford college did the politician David Cameron
0:05:15 > 0:05:19achieve his first class honours degree in philosophy, politics and economics?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Is it Brasenose, St Edmund Hall or Somerville?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Oh, dear. Erm...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I don't think it's Somerville...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30so it's between the other two.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Erm... I'll go for Brasenose.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Brasenose. At which Oxford college the politician David Cameron
0:05:37 > 0:05:39achieve his first class honours degree
0:05:39 > 0:05:42in philosophy, politics and economics?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's Brasenose. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47May well have saved your skin,
0:05:47 > 0:05:52that is, as long as Barry gets this incorrect.
0:05:52 > 0:05:59Barry, which British politician was pilloried for wearing what his critics described as a donkey jacket
0:05:59 > 0:06:02to the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday in 1982?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Denis Healey, Michael Foot or Neil Kinnock?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I think he was pilloried rather unfairly,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11because it really wasn't a donkey jacket, but it was Michael Foot.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Yes, it was a, er, a rather expensive woollen coat, didn't he?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20And it is Michael Foot, then leader of the Labour Party.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's correct, Barry, which means, Ailsa,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28just that second question has cost you a place in the final round, I'm sorry to say.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Can you both join your teams?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37The first blow landed by the Eggheads. One member of Five Alive knocked out.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Let's see if they can retaliate now, with our next round today.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43This one's music. Who'd like to play?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Right, girls. Who wants to do music?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Gosh, that was another one we didn't want.- OK, I'll do it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Chris is doing music.- OK. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be Barry.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I think Chris.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- I think my namesake, Chris, please. - Chris and Chris.- Yes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05Yes, same in name, but, I'm sure, not in nature - certainly not physically...(!)
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- LAUGHTER - I don't think I'll get confused(!)
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Let's have the two Chrises into the question room, please.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- Chris, now, would you like to go first or second? - I will go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22OK, good luck.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Just to be specific, this is going to Five Alive's Chris.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31The song Nine To Five was written by and became a hit for which singer?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton or Tammy Wynette?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Erm...
0:07:37 > 0:07:43It's from the film, and I think the answer is Dolly Parton.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Dolly. It is Dolly Parton, yes, Nine To Five,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50well done, good start, Chris. Eggheads' Chris,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54what was the title of the 1997 UK number one hit single
0:07:54 > 0:07:56for the Scandinavian pop group Aqua?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Barbie Girl, Action Man or Care Bear?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03It's one of the most annoying things you will ever hear in your life,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- and it's Barbie Girl. - I'm surprised you HAVE heard it!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Certain people in Crewe insist on singing it in karaoke.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- LAUGHTER - Sounds like you want to name names.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- No way, Jose, and it's not me. - No, I wouldn't have imagined that,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21not for a moment. It's the right answer, though, Barbie Girl by Aqua.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Number one in 1997. OK, back to you,
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Chris from Five Alive. Black Holes And Revelations
0:08:30 > 0:08:33was a best-selling 2006 album for which band?
0:08:33 > 0:08:38The Killers, Muse or Razorlight?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm not terribly familiar with The Killers,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44although it does seem a little bit dark,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and the title seems a little bit dark... Erm...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Muse or Razorlight...
0:08:50 > 0:08:55My first inclination was Razorlight, so I'm going to go with Razorlight.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59OK, Razorlight for Black Holes And Revelations. Ruled out The Killers.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's not The Killers.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04It's not Razorlight, though - it is Muse. Muse.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So, slipping up on the second one, like Ailsa.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Let's see how Chris does with his.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Chris, which Puccini opera features the characters Ping, Pang and Pong?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Tosca, La Boheme, or Turandot?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's the only one set in China, and that's Turandot.
0:09:23 > 0:09:29It is. That's the right answer, Chris. Well, up to this point,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32it's followed the pattern of the first round.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Let's hope you get this, Chris from Five Alive,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and Egghead doesn't get his third one. Here you go.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44The singer Eddie Vedder joined which American band in 1990?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Sonic Youth, Counting Crows or Pearl Jam?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Erm...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54The name isn't terribly familiar to me,
0:09:54 > 0:10:00erm, but I have heard of, erm, Counting Crows,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03so, on the basis that that IS the only one I've heard of,
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- I'm going to go with Counting Crows. - Counting Crows, heard of them.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's not the right answer, Chris. It's not Counting Crows.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It is...
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Other Chris, do you, by any chance, know, after your Aqua glory?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think it's Pearl Jam.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It is. It's Pearl Jam. He's on good musical form there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Bit contemporary for our Chris, that one. I think, maybe for you as well, Five Alive Chris.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31We end the round there. No more questions to Chris.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34You won't be playing in the final round, sorry to say.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40The Eggheads, there, extending their head-to-head lead.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43They've knocked out two members of Five Alive,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and we move on to our next category. This one's science.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Oh, dear. - Can you knock an Egghead out
0:10:49 > 0:10:52on this one? And it's Betty, Carole or Kathleen to play.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- Right. Kathleen, are you all right on science?- Not particularly, no.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- Well, Dermot, it looks like it's going to be me.- Captain's innings required. Who will you play?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I must tell you, my schoolteacher's probably screaming. Yes, dear?
0:11:06 > 0:11:12Who would you like to play? Barry and Chris have played, so that leaves Kevin, Judith or Daphne.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Shall we have Daphne?- Yes. - We'll have Daphne, please.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20OK, let's have Betty and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Betty, tell me a bit about your antique dealing.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Do you specialise in a particular era or type of antique?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Well, I specialise in silver and porcelain,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35but I do know an awful lot about the vast variety of collector's things
0:11:35 > 0:11:39that are on the market, and if I DON'T know, I know somebody who does.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44That's the trick, isn't it? Let's see if we can make you some money today out of quizzing.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'll go second, please.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53See if this works for Betty. Putting Daphne in first.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59This, then, is your question, Daphne. In the human body, by what name is the gullet also known?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oesophagus, scapula, coccyx?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06In the human body, by what name is the gullet also known?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That would be the oesophagus.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The oesophagus, the gullet.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Hard to swallow, watching you getting these right!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's the right answer, yes. Good start.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm sure Betty would have got that,
0:12:18 > 0:12:24but this is your question, Betty. The common raccoon is native to which continent,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Europe, North America or Asia?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, I don't think it's Asia.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37I'm not sure about... I'm going to go for North Africa, Dermot.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We don't actually have that on the list, there...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41North America, sorry!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- LAUGHTER - Europe, North America or Asia?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well, change... I will go for North America, now.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50North America. I don't think we've ever had a contestant
0:12:50 > 0:12:52making up their own answer before...!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55That would be interesting. It's the right answer.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Just a slip of the tongue. Sorry to tease you, Betty.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59There you are, North America.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Good start for you both, then. Daphne, which isotope of carbon
0:13:04 > 0:13:07is the crucial radioactive element in carbon-dating?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Carbon-10, carbon-12 or carbon 14?
0:13:12 > 0:13:18I think the chap who, erm, discovered it got a Nobel Prize.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's carbon-14.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Libby? Ask Kevin.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Who's the chap, then, who discovered it?- Willard Libby.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Willard Libby.- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Coming back. And it is carbon-14. It's the right answer. Betty,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38where in the human body are the phalanges bones located?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Is it chest, skull, or fingers and toes?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Right, well, they'd be in a funny place if they were in the skull,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52and similarly with the chest. I'm going for fingers and toes, Dermot.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Good on you, Betty. Well done!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yes, that's what we wanted. Correct.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00So, Daphne,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Newton's first law of motion,
0:14:02 > 0:14:07which states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line,
0:14:07 > 0:14:12it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed
0:14:12 > 0:14:17unless it is acted upon by a force, is also known as what?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19The law of inertia,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22the law of resistance or the law of equilibrium?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- SHE LAUGHS - I've only ever heard of it
0:14:25 > 0:14:29as Newton's First Law. Erm...
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Gosh, I don't know...!
0:14:32 > 0:14:37The law of...equilibrium?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41OK, the law of equilibrium.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Oh, paracetamol for Barry.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- You've given him a headache. - Oh, no!- What is it, Barry?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- The law of inertia. - It's the law of inertia.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Is that the second one you thought of?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- SHE LAUGHS - I told you
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- I didn't know it!- Well, this is looking good for you, Betty,
0:14:56 > 0:15:01but, of course, it's not over until you get this one correct.
0:15:01 > 0:15:08The term asteroid belt is used to refer to the area between the orbits of which two planets?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Earth and Mars, Mars and Jupiter or Jupiter and Saturn?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Right, well, I've been learning on planets but that question
0:15:16 > 0:15:20didn't come up when I was learning. I'll try to remember.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26Right... I think I'll go for Earth and Mars, Dermot.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29OK, Earth and Mars. The asteroid belt...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32is between the orbits of...
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Mars and Jupiter.- Oh, dear.- Not Earth and Mars. Mars and Jupiter.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40So, well, no particular damage
0:15:40 > 0:15:45done there. It's not terminal. We go to sudden-death, though, for the first time in the game.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50That, Betty, means we remove the choices, and it becomes a lot harder.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56So, Daphne faces this one. Daphne, what two-word term is usually given
0:15:56 > 0:16:02to the tiredness and disorientation felt by a person after a long flight across different time zones?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Jet lag.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That's the correct answer.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09All right, Betty,
0:16:09 > 0:16:15It means you've got to get this, then. Which word, from the Latin for "wild beast," is used
0:16:15 > 0:16:20to refer to an untamed animal, particularly one that has escaped from captivity?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Could I have the last question please? I knew the answer to that.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Yeah, you would have got that, wouldn't you?- I didn't do Latin at school, I did German.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Oh...- Latin for wild beast.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37It refers to an untamed animal, particularly one that's escaped from captivity.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I'm going to plump for free spirit.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I know it's not right, but...
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Free spirit. A bit like you lot, really. Free spirits, I can tell!
0:16:48 > 0:16:53There is an F in it but it's not free spirit. Do you know, Daphne?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Feral.- Feral.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01Used to refer to youths that get out of line these days as well, isn't it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Feral, there.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Bad luck, Betty. You played well. I thought, for a moment you were going to do it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Play the captain's innings, but it wasn't to be. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:13 > 0:17:19So close there, Betty. It means Five Alive have now lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26The Eggheads haven't lost any. The last chance to knock an Egghead out in the category of sport.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28And... Yes,
0:17:28 > 0:17:35- Carole and Kathleen are delighted(!) It's one of you two to play.- Really ecstatic. I think it'll be me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38OK, Carole. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Chris, Barry and Daphne have played. That leaves Judith or Kevin.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- I'll choose Judith, please. - Judith, OK!- My favourite subject(!)
0:17:47 > 0:17:48We'll be there forever!
0:17:48 > 0:17:55- Especially me.- Let's have, then, Carole and Millionaire-winner Judith into the question room please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, Carole, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'll go first, please.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Best of luck.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Here you go. Chris Latham, George Smith and Matt Giteau
0:18:07 > 0:18:10have all represented Australia at which sport,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14cricket, rugby union or tennis?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Hm... I'm not sure about this, erm...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I don't think it's tennis.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- I'll go for Rugby Union.- Rugby Union.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Latham, Smith and Giteau.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Rugby players. It's the right answer. Very well done, Carole.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK, Judith,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34football. Tony Adams was confirmed as the new manager
0:18:34 > 0:18:37of which Premiership football team in October, 2008?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Liverpool, Arsenal or Portsmouth?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Portsmouth. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Couldn't wait to get that out! - I know! It's such a thrill
0:18:44 > 0:18:47to know a football question. Portsmouth.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- He replaced Harry Redknapp. - It's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53OK, back to you, Carole.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57After losing to Peter Doohan at Wimbledon in 1987,
0:18:57 > 0:19:03which tennis player said, "I didn't lose a war, nobody died, basically, I just lost a tennis match.",
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Boris Becker, Andre Agassi or John McEnroe?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Right, erm... '87, it was Becker's time.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Andre Agassi, it could have been any of them, really.
0:19:15 > 0:19:22Erm... I'm going to go with...
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- ..John McEnroe.- OK, McEnroe. I could see you doing that on eras.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It was coming to the end of the McEnroe era.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Boris Becker, you mentioned. Was Agassi around as early as '87?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- It's a bit early, I think. - A bit early for Agassi.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's Boris Becker, though.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- It's Boris Becker. The shock being, he won Wimbledon in '85.- And '86.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51And '86, OK, so, shock being the reigning champion being knocked out.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Erm...Judith,
0:19:53 > 0:19:58in which year did Cassius Clay win an Olympic boxing gold medal,
0:19:58 > 0:20:021960, 1964 or 1968?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Well, it was before he became Muhammad Ali.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I think 1960's too early.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I think... I think it might be 1964.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19OK. Cassius Clay, as you identified, before he became Muhammad Ali,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21er, as an amateur,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26won Olympic gold in Rome...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- in 1960.- Really?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- 1960.- I thought he hadn't got going, then.- There we are. Yes.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Well, as a callow youth, he won the Olympic gold.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What was his division? - Light heavyweight.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Light heavyweight in 1960. Stays all-square. OK, Carole,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46let's see if you can get this and put some real pressure on Judith.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52Which cricketer took ten wickets in an innings for Durham against Hampshire in 2007,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56and was appointed England bowling coach later that year?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Is it Otis Gibson, Andy Caddick or Troy Cooley?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Right... I don't think it's Troy Cooley.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Bowling coach. Andy Caddick?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm not sure.. I'm going to go with Otis Gibson.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Otis Gibson is the right answer. Well done!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, you'd better get this, then, Judith.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Which golfer was suspended indefinitely from the Asian Tour
0:21:21 > 0:21:24after being accused of altering his scorecard
0:21:24 > 0:21:27at the 1985 Indonesian Open?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Was it Ernie Els, Vijay Singh or Greg Norman?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- 1985?- Yeah, 1985 Indonesian Open.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Which is 23 years ago.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think... I know golfers go on for a long time,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46but I think that would be too soon for Ernie Els.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I think it might be Greg Norman.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, Greg Norman.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Accused of altering his scorecard in 1985 at the Indonesian Open.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- The golfer in question is Vijay Singh.- Well done, Carole!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Vijay Singh. Carole, you've done it.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07We've got one of you through! Congratulations! You'll be playing in the final round today.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:18 > 0:22:23can't take part in this round. So, Betty, Ailsa and Chris from Five Alive,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:26 > 0:22:31So, Carole and Kathleen, you're playing to win Five Alive £6,000.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37Daphne, Chris, Barry, Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:37 > 0:22:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn. The questions are general knowledge. You may confer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Five Alive, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Carole and Kathleen, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We'd like to go first, please.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55OK, good luck.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59You could be just two or three questions away from £6,000.
0:22:59 > 0:23:07Here you go. Which US President said, in a speech to the UN General Assembly in September 1961,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."?
0:23:12 > 0:23:17John F Kennedy, Lyndon B Johnson or Dwight D Eisenhower?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Which US President said, in a speech
0:23:19 > 0:23:22to the UN General Assembly in September 1961,
0:23:22 > 0:23:28"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- It's too late for Eisenhower. - Eisenhower's much earlier, isn't he?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Johnson came after Kennedy, didn't he?- Yes,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39and Kennedy was assassinated in '63, so it must be John Kennedy.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42We think it's... Well, we know...
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- We think it's John Kennedy. JF Kennedy.- John F Kennedy.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48You can do that on the dates if you know your presidents.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's right. John F Kennedy.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52The president, there, from 1961
0:23:52 > 0:23:57till his assassination in 1963. So, a good start for Five Alive.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03Eggheads, the 1958 film, Separate Tables, starring David Niven and Deborah Kerr,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06is based on a play by which English dramatist,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10John Osborne, Harold Pinter or Terence Rattigan?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Rattigan.- The 1958 film, Separate Tables,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16starring David Niven and Deborah Kerr,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19is based on a play by which English dramatist?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's by Terence Rattigan.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It is by Terence Rattigan. Correct, Eggheads.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26One each. Back to you, Carole and Kathleen.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Second question.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Who became the Governor of the Bank of England in 2003,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Mervyn King, Edward George or Alan Greenspan?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Who became the Governor of the Bank of England in 2003?
0:24:40 > 0:24:47Mervyn King is the present one, isn't he? Has he been since 2003?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Edward George was before him.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- Well, you're the banking person. - Who became the governor?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57George was before... I think it's Mervyn King.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- I think he's been there all that time, do you?- I think so.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Yes. We think it's Mervyn King. - Coming from Carole,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08as Kathleen pointing out, there...!
0:25:08 > 0:25:12A banking background, and you're going for Mervyn King.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Is the right answer. Well worked out.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Edward George, his predecessor
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and Alan Greenspan from the other side of the pond.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Former head of the Federal Reserve. OK, Eggheads,
0:25:23 > 0:25:28which chef, born in Besancon in 1949,
0:25:28 > 0:25:34was awarded an honorary OBE for services to the British food industry in October, 2008,
0:25:34 > 0:25:40Marco Pierre White, Raymond Blanc or Jean-Christophe Novelli?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- It's not Marco Pierre White, cos he's from Leeds.- He's from Leeds.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48That means they'd be 60... soon enough...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50So, surely Jean-Christophe Novelli
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- is younger than that, isn't he? - Far younger than that, yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- So, happy with Raymond Blanc? - Raymond Blanc.- Yep.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58We think on the...
0:25:58 > 0:26:03On the, er... Marco Pierre White is actually English.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06This one was born in France so that narrows it down to two.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11We think if we take it back to 1949, that's too far for Novelli,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13so we think it must be Raymond Blanc.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17OK, quite simple when you dissect it that way, Eggheads,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20but you've got to, of course, have the knowledge behind you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24You've got the right answer, Raymond Blanc, honorary OBE. So...
0:26:24 > 0:26:28looking very interesting. All square as we go into a third question each.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32This might win you £6,000, Five Alive. Good luck, Carole and Kathleen.
0:26:32 > 0:26:39In which field was the American, Jody Williams, awarded a Nobel Prize in 1997,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42literature, chemistry or peace?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46In which field was the American, Jody Williams,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49awarded a Nobel Prize in 1997?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Do you know?- No, no.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- It doesn't ring a bell. - Jody Williams.- Jody Williams.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02We'd have heard of her if it was peace, wouldn't we?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Chemistry. Do you want to go for chemistry?- I don't recognise it
0:27:06 > 0:27:09as literary. No. I could be wrong.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13We don't think it's peace, because we haven't heard about...
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We're going to go for chemistry.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Jody Williams won the Nobel Prize for...
0:27:20 > 0:27:24peace. Peace, in 1997.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- What was...?- It was a campaign against land mines.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Ah! That's the first slip up by you, the team.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36It's not over yet. The Eggheads have to get this one if they are to win. If not, we play on.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42Eggheads, who wrote the 1984 novel entitled Flaubert's Parrot?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Ian McEwan, Peter Carey or Julian Barnes?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Who wrote the 1984 novel entitled Flaubert's Parrot?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54That was Julian Barnes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Julian Barnes. I think I hear assent from Five Alive, they know it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It's not your question. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Very, very close in that final round.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14The way the questions fell. Thanks for playing so well in the final round,
0:28:14 > 0:28:19and to all your colleagues who didn't get past those head-to-heads. Good quizzing nevertheless.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Thank you for telling us all about the Inner Wheel. My application's in the post.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- THEY LAUGH Well done. Great. - We wish we could have you!
0:28:28 > 0:28:34The Eggheads' winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £6,000, which means
0:28:34 > 0:28:39the money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:42 > 0:28:47have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
