0:00:03 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:38Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they have won some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz Goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:44are the Bedfordshire Clangers.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50This team are friends and family who attend John's Music Quiz at the King's Arms pub in Bedford.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Davina. I'm 47 and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Hamish, I'm 44 and I'm an actuary.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Nick, 24, and I'm also a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm David, I'm 50 and I'm an IT project manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Valerie, I'm 51 and I'm a nursery school head teacher.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- So, welcome, Davina.- Hi. - And you're married to Hamish.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20But also you do work on the roads. I don't mean you sweep them. What do you do?
0:01:20 > 0:01:26I'm a network planner. I work in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex and look at planning applications
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and see what impact they have on trunk roads and motorways.
0:01:29 > 0:01:36- Nick, you do highways as well? - Yeah, I work in the traffic officer service. I'm in the control room.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Today, you're both in the studio and all these roads are totally jammed!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- You meet through this music quiz? - Yes.- Tell us about that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49It's been running for about 17 and a half years in Bedford and that's where I met David.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54And I also met Hamish there. We just enjoy music quizzes, so we all attend.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's gonna be a shame if the music questions don't come up today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04It's gonna be a really big blow. Good luck. We hope you do well against the Eggheads.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Bedfordshire Clangers, the Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21so £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Shall we start?- OK.- OK.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle will be on Arts & Books.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Not Music! Which one of you wants this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- OK, it's me or you, David. - Are you comfortable going for it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- Do you want me to go for it?- Yeah. - It's me for Arts & Books.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Davina against which Egghead?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Who looks unread? - LAUGHTER
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- I thought we had Barry down for that. - OK. I'll go with Barry.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55So, it's gonna be Davina from Bedfordshire Clangers against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Davina, do you want to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Good luck. Here we go.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Which Charles Dickens character spends all her days wearing a wedding dress
0:03:16 > 0:03:19after having been jilted by her fiance?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I don't think it's Little Nell.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think I'll go for Miss Havisham.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35You're quite right. It is Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38One point to you. Good start to the Clangers.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44Barry, how does Romeo die in William Shakespeare's play Romeo And Juliet?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52He takes poison.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It is poison. Correct. Back to you, Davina...
0:03:56 > 0:04:03Joseph Pulitzer, the newspaper proprietor and editor who endowed the prizes named in his honour,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05was born in which country?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I don't think it's Poland. There's not enough Vs and Ws.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Maybe not Sweden. I think I'll go for Hungary.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Run me through the logic on Poland again. Not enough what?- Vs and Ws.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25LAUGHTER
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Well, you're right. It is Hungary.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31OK, Barry...
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Fire And Ice is the title of a well-known work by which poet?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's by one of my favourite poets, Robert Frost.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Was it the one that was read at the inauguration of a President?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51No, that was The Gift Outright.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Do you know everything, Barry? - If only!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Robert Frost is correct. Well done.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Two points each.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Davina, your question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:10Which artist painted the work Vampire which sold for £24.2 million in 2008,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12a record for his work?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Not my strongest point.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I don't remember Van Gogh having a famous picture called Vampire.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I think I'll go for Francisco Goya.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Your answer is Goya.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It's wrong. It's Munch.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I can't picture Vampire. I can picture The Scream.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- They're similar.- It's like The Scream, but there are fangs.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's only because The Scream has never come up for auction.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51But you're right - Van Gogh never painted a vampire.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Barry, if you take this, you've got the round.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01Which ex-soldier and author published a romantic novel under the name Molly Jackson in 2008?
0:06:07 > 0:06:12I don't know this one. I would have preferred the Vampire question.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17The only name I recognise there is Andy McNab who wrote Bravo Two Zero,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21so let's hope he had a change of idiom and wrote something romantic.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'll say Andy McNab.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You've got it wrong. It's Chris Ryan.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33Sorry, you didn't take the round. We go now to Sudden Death.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38With scores level, to make it that bit harder, these questions will not be multiple choice.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44Davina, of which literary character did John Le Carre say, "He's a sort of licensed criminal
0:06:44 > 0:06:49"who, in the name of false patriotism, approves of nasty crimes"?
0:06:49 > 0:06:55The only one I can associate with John Le Carre is George Smiley. That's my guess.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58He wasn't talking about one of his own characters.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It was James Bond, Ian Fleming's character.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, Barry, you take this, you've got the round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Helen Graham, a woman with a mysterious past,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14is the central character in which 19th century novel?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17She's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Do you know who that's by?- It's a Bronte.- I only need the title.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let me think. I think it's Anne Bronte.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31You could've said "A Bronte". That would've been correct! The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is right.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Barry, you have taken the round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Bad luck, Davina. You won't be in the final round.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46The Challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51You mustn't look smug. The next subject is Geography.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55We're still looking for Music! But which of you wants Geography?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- It's you, David, isn't it?- OK.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Who looks lost over there?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Who are we choosing?- You, David.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Against which Egghead? Who looks lost?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- You can't have Barry. - Judith?- Judith?- Judith or CJ?
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- Judith.- So it's David from the Bedfordshire Clangers against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- David, you can choose the first or the second set of questions. - I'll go first.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Good luck, David, in this round. Your question...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Which term from the Latin for "meadow" is used in North America
0:08:36 > 0:08:40to refer to a large, open area of grassland?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I think they all seem to refer to it,
0:08:47 > 0:08:52but the pampas I would associate with South America,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56so of the other two, I think of Canada and prairies,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58so I'll go for prairie.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Quite right. Prairie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04As in Little House On The...
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Judith, your question. In which present-day country is the town of Ypres?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think that must be Belgium. I always thought it was in France.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Anyway, Belgium.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- What did the soldiers call it in the Second World War?- "Wipers."
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It is in Belgium. You're right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29So, one each. David, over to you.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32The Patio De Los Naranjos,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35or The Court Of The Oranges,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38is part of the Great Mosque in which Spanish city?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I was hoping Granada was gonna come up, but obviously not.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50The one that really springs to mind, it would be Cordoba.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54And why does that spring to mind?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Because it's the only one I associate with having a palace.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00You're quite right. Good one.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Judith...
0:10:02 > 0:10:08In which part of the United Kingdom is the famous castle of Eilean Donan located?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18It's in Scotland and it's on a loch,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21but which one, I can't remember.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Scotland is correct, Judith. Well done.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- You're on form today.- I'm not lost, I told you.- You're not lost.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33David, if you take this, you keep the pressure on our Egghead.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Laconia is the name of a department and historic region in which country?
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Well, I have a feeling it's either Italy or Greece.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53I think it sounds more Greek, so I'll go with Greece.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Greece is correct.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- He's playing well, Judith. - He is, isn't he?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- If you get this wrong, you know what happens?- Yes, I do.
0:11:03 > 0:11:10Which Australian city experiences a cooling summer wind known locally as "Southerly Buster"?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Well, Darwin's in the north, so any wind would come off the land
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and that would make it a hot wind.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So it's not Darwin. Perth is in the west.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Does it stick out so it gets a nice, cool wind?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30A Southerly Buster...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I am lost now.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Um...Sydney.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- You're right, Judith. Sydney is the right answer.- Good.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Three points each.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Very, very strong play from both of you. We go to Sudden Death.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Bit harder now because we don't give you alternative answers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54David, here we go.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57In which US state is the city of El Paso?
0:11:57 > 0:12:04I'm not sure, but I tend to associate it with cowboys in the south, so I'll go for Texas.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Again, brilliant. Texas is correct.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Whatever you're doing with those computers must be very impressive.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Judith...
0:12:16 > 0:12:22The name of which natural phenomenon is taken from the Dutch for "grind" and "stream"?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm trying to sort of Dutch-ify it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I mean, cos Dutch in some ways is quite like English, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32"Grun-strom, grun-strom"...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34"Grind stream".
0:12:35 > 0:12:39"Grun-strom", "grind stream"...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I don't know. I have to give up. I can't think.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45All right, all right. Maelstrom.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Oh, maelstrom.- Not "grun-strom".
0:12:49 > 0:12:52So, well done to our Challenger.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Well played, David. You took on an Egghead and you emerged triumphant.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Great news. That means you will be in today's final round.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Both of you please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10The Challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain too.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15The next subject is Film & TV. Which of you wants this?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Do you think so?- Nicholas? - I think it's me.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Nick, which Egghead do you want to play against?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- CJ?- OK.- I'll take on CJ.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30- Now, CJ has seen no films at all. - That's what we're banking on.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35But he's learnt a lot of lists. That's the kind of personality you're dealing with.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39It's Nick from Bedfordshire Clangers against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions now in the question room.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Nick, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Your first question. Who played Andy Dufresne
0:13:55 > 0:13:59in the 1994 film, The Shawshank Redemption?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06A classic I've unfortunately never seen,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09but the name that rings a bell is Tim Robbins.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Tim Robbins is the right answer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15On CJ territory, knowing about films you haven't seen.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Well done. CJ, here we go.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24"Live long and prosper" is the phrase often used and invented
0:14:24 > 0:14:28by the actor who played which original Star Trek character?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36He also plays his character again in the new Star Trek film.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That was Leonard Nimoy who played Spock.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I was gonna ask if you could do that
0:14:43 > 0:14:47but I should have guessed that you'd spent hours practising that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Yes, CJ, Spock is correct. One apiece. Over to you, Nick.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Which British actor is the star of the Transporter series of films?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06A set of films I have seen. It's Jason Statham.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Jason Statham is your answer and it's right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12CJ, your second question to keep up.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16What is the first name of the leisure centre manager Mr Brittas,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20played by Chris Barrie in the TV sitcom The Brittas Empire?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I love Chris Barrie and I tried watching this show
0:15:27 > 0:15:31and it rubbed me up the wrong way, I couldn't get into it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- But I think it's Gordon Brittas. - It is Gordon Brittas. Well done.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So, Nick, try and get this one.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44The 2001 TV mini-series Band Of Brothers
0:15:44 > 0:15:50closely follows the fortunes of the members of which unit of the US Army?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's not something I've seen.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00For some reason, Baker Company is screaming at me,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03so I'm gonna go with Baker Company.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It was wrong to scream. It's Easy Company.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Ow!- Don't worry, he can still get this wrong.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12CJ, for the round,
0:16:12 > 0:16:17who directed the 1995 film The Quick And The Dead starring Sharon Stone?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26You'll be surprised to learn I haven't seen it, but it's a western.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Um...
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I don't really associate it with Sam Raimi or Wes Craven.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I don't know, but I'm gonna go for Roger Corman.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Is the wrong answer.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It is Sam Raimi, who you ruled out.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Before Spider-Man.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Nick, well done. You're still alive.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49We move now to Sudden Death.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54The US TV series A Different World was a spin-off from which 1980s TV sitcom?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I'm not sure, so I'll go with Taxi.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- It's The Cosby Show.- Ah! - That was the answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Valerie, you're nodding. You knew that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12But you're still in it, Nick. Still a chance.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Although CJ on his movies, pretty hot stuff. Here's your question.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23Who directed and starred in the 1958 French film Mon Oncle?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I haven't seen it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31But the name that comes to mind is Jacques Tati, so I'll go for Jacques Tati.
0:17:31 > 0:17:38You're right. It was Jacques Tati who directed and starred in yet another film you haven't seen.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42CJ, you've taken the round. Sorry, Nick.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45You fought hard, but you were beaten,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48so you won't join your team in the final round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57So the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The last subject is Sport.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04You're specialists in music and it didn't come up!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, now, how's the battle plan going?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Shall we put Nicholas in again?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12It's got to be you, Hamish.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- Are you happy with that? I would be hopeless on it.- OK, it'll be me.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Hamish?- Yeah.- OK.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24And you can't obviously have CJ or Barry or Judith.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK, we'll try and take out Kevin.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33All right, so they're gonna try and take out Kevin.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Hamish from Bedfordshire Clangers against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47- So, Hamish, you're an actuary? - Correct, yes. - Predicting when people will die?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50That's the interesting part of the job, yes!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Can you look at someone and tell us how long they've got to live?
0:18:55 > 0:19:01No, that's the underwriter's job. I just tell you how many out of the 10,000 people will be dead this year.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07- OK, good luck. You can choose the first or the second set of questions, Hamish.- I'll go second.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16Kevin, which British boxer won his 46th bout in a row
0:19:16 > 0:19:20with a victory over Roy Jones Junior in November 2008?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That was Joe Calzaghe.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33It was indeed Joe Calzaghe. Well done. Hamish, your question.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38What method is normally used to signal the start of a Formula One race?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The flag is at the end.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49At the start of the Formula One, the lights go from red to green.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- So it's lights.- And it is the correct answer. Well done.
0:19:53 > 0:20:00Kevin, your question. The Vendee Globe Yacht Race starts and finishes in which country?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I think it's actually Brittany, I believe, so it's France.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Unless they've shifted it, I'll stick with France.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It is France. Well done. Two points to you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Let's see if you've bitten off more than you can chew here, Hamish.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Your question. What is another name for the delivery known as a googly in cricket?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32A googly is an off-break bowl with a leg-break action,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34so it's a wrong 'un.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36LAUGHTER
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Why are you laughing? Cos he plays cricket?- He's a bowler.- A bowler!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I see. It's the right one. It's the wrong 'un, yeah.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Good. Two points to you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Kevin, this is for you to take the lead.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55What type of fencing comprises one-fifth of the modern pentathlon?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04That's interesting. I know fencing is one part of it, but which one?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I don't actually know.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It seems unlikely to be sabre.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm rather torn between the other two, though.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Foil...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I'll stick with foil. I'll stick with foil.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Your answer is foil?- Yeah. It may well be wrong. I'm guessing.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- It's the wrong answer, Kevin.- It's epee.- It's epee, is it?- It's epee.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Hamish, this is promising. Not many people get Kevin to this position.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38Your ambition to take him out before the final could be realised if you get this question right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42W Spencer Gore was the first winner of which sporting competition?
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I believe he was the first winner of Wimbledon. That's my answer.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57You are right. Well done, Hamish.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Brilliant strategic stroke by the Bedfordshire Clangers there,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07taking on Kevin and emerging triumphant.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Hamish, you will join your team in the final. Both of you come back to the studio.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17It's time for our final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Those of you who lost your head-to-heads cannot take part.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So that's Davina and Nick from the Bedfordshire Clangers,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30but also Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads as well.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Please leave the studio now.
0:22:33 > 0:22:40So, Hamish, David and Valerie, you are playing to win the Bedfordshire Clangers £7,000.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Chris, Barry and CJ, you are playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll go second.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Eggheads, you have the first question here of the final round.
0:23:03 > 0:23:10When the alphabet is recited in French, which letter is referred to as "i grecque"?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Y?- Y is "i grecque".
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Yeah. C'est "Y", monsieur.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It is Y. "I grecque".
0:23:19 > 0:23:22First point to you. Clangers...
0:23:22 > 0:23:27What type of shoe traditionally has a rope sole?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- It's got to be an espadrille.- Yeah. - Fashion expert!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- It's an espadrille. - You sound totally certain.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- Are you wearing espadrilles at the moment?- Not today, no.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46But you're right. Well done. OK...
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Your question, Eggheads. What name is given to a cord worn round the neck,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54used to hold a whistle or other object?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01What name is given to a cord worn round the neck,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04used to hold a whistle or other object?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- It's not boyard.- It's not cavayard, so it must be lanyard.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13You can even have it to a side arm. It's a lanyard.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Lanyard is correct. Bedfordshire Clangers...
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Your second question. The word "pettifogger" is normally applied
0:24:20 > 0:24:23to an unscrupulous member of which profession?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31What do you think? Something you've heard of?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- I don't think it'll be the doctor. - No, that's what I thought.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- A lawyer or a politician? A lawyer? - A lawyer I would go for.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Yeah.- Yeah. - By the sheer process of guesswork,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46we're going for lawyer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Is "politician" a profession?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53MPs watching will be slightly distressed by that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You are right. It is lawyer. It wasn't politician.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Pettifogging meaning what?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Well, red herrings and sort of the fogs of Chancery.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08And picking on little loopholes in the law to confuse the issue.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- There are no dishonest politicians(!)- We know. We have to keep repeating that.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18OK, Eggheads, you get this wrong, they are within sight of £7,000. Your question...
0:25:18 > 0:25:24To which destination did the QE2 ship make its final voyage in 2008,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27destined to become a floating hotel?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Dubai.- Yeah.- That's where it is.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Yeah. It's Dubai...Jeremy.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Dubai is correct. That's where it still is?- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47You need this right to stay in the contest, Bedfordshire Clangers.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Batucada is a style of which musical genre?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00A style of which musical genre?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05They've all got a Latin, Spanish feel anyway, haven't they?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Flamenco is Spain, samba is Brazil, which is Portuguese.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- Where's merengue from?- I don't know. - It's from South America somewhere.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Shake your "wotsits".
0:26:16 > 0:26:20"Batu" is a Spanish word or a Portuguese word?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Are you feeling more for the samba then?- I'm feeling for the samba.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Ohh!- I don't know. - We're gonna have to guess it a bit.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Shall we guess? - Samba.- Go on then.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37We're going to show our complete lack of linguistic knowledge
0:26:37 > 0:26:41and say it is a Portuguese word, so therefore it's definitely samba.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Samba's your answer. If you get it right, it goes to Sudden Death.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48If you get it wrong, you're out.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51We waited a long time for a musical question.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Thank goodness you got it right! It's samba. Well done.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Had you got that wrong, that would be it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06So the musical question came in at the right moment and you got it right. We move now to Sudden Death.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10These questions are not multiple choice. Eggheads, over to you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Which lizard takes its name from the Greek for "on the ground lion"?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Chameleon, I think.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Which lizard takes its name from the Greek for "on the ground lion"?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27The "leon" bit on the end is the giveaway, so it's a chameleon.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Chameleon is the correct answer. Well done.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Bedfordshire Clangers, this is the one to get.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38In which month of the year is VJ Day celebrated?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- September?- Japan is before...?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It's later. It's after VE Day. VJ was later.
0:27:44 > 0:27:51- It's August, September time? - I think it's September. The thing that's in my mind is September.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- I think it's after my birthday. - It is definitely after your birthday?- I think so.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Go on then.- I think it's September.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- It's actually August the 15th.- Oh!
0:28:03 > 0:28:08I'm really sorry. I wish it could have been a musical question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- Sorry. I've screwed that up. - Bedfordshire Clangers, commiserations.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I'm so sorry cos it was tight there at the end.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with the £7,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46£8,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
