0:00:04 > 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 > 0:00:19The question 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 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Their pedigree is well known,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36as they 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 the awesome might of the Eggheads today are
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The Hanging Gale from Leeds. This team is made up of
0:00:44 > 0:00:46friends and colleagues who are
0:00:46 > 0:00:51regular attendees of their local pub quiz at the Myrtle in Meanwood.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Bill. I'm 35 and a careers adviser.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 47 and I'm a university lecturer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Janet. I'm 39 and I'm a careers adviser.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Steve. I'm 42 and a former care manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Dave. I'm 50 and I'm a careers adviser.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So, Bill, you all come together through a connection
0:01:12 > 0:01:14with Leeds Careers, is that right?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- We do, yes.- And Leeds Careers is a job centre, is it, or what?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21No, we work with young people aged 16 to 19, basically.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- In school and those who are unemployed.- OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:01:32 > 0:01:35to the next show. So, Hanging Gale.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The Eggheads have won the last 12 games,
0:01:38 > 0:01:44which means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Here we go, first head-to-head battle
0:01:47 > 0:01:48is on the subject of Film And TV.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Which of you wants this?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Right, then.- Definitely for Janet. - This looks like Janet, yeah?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58What's more, I think we should have a go at Kevin. I think we should.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- No pressure(!)- All right. Are you ready, Kevin?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You're always ready. All right. Janet from The Hanging Gale
0:02:03 > 0:02:05against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Janet, you can choose, first or second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Who played the title character in the 1992 film, The Bodyguard?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26That would be Kevin Costner.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31No hesitation. You're completely right. One point to you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Flying start.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Kevin, which comedy writing team wrote the TV series
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Galton and Simpson.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yes, they were legends and you're right.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Back to you, Janet.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Which actress played the role of Judy in the 1955 film
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Rebel Without A Cause?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I think that would be Natalie Wood.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Natalie Wood is completely the right answer. Well done.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Kevin.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Jake, Ben and Karen are the names of the children
0:03:19 > 0:03:22in which TV comedy series first shown in 2007?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I've only seen bits of it,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30but I'm pretty sure those are the kids in Outnumbered.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Outnumbered is correct.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- It's really funny, that programme, as well.- I've seen bits,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- and it's very good. - Yeah, good new comedy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Janet, in which country was the actress Ursula Andress born?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I've really no idea on this, I'm afraid, team.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Um...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm going to rule out Mexico. I'm going to go for Switzerland,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59for some reason.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Switzerland is the correct answer.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Kevin,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09who declared movies require, "A beginning,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14"a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order?"
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm a little bit torn on this one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I've heard the quote, but I can't actually remember.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I don't think it was David Lean. Um...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30When you think of the films of Godard...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35..who was a great film theorist as well...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I know the quote, I can't remember who said it - I'll go with Godard.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Spot on. It was Jean-Luc Godard.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So a perfect round for you both so far.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Three points apiece. Scores are level. We go to Sudden Death,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48and to make it harder,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I won't give alternative answers.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Are you ready, Janet?- Yep.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55In which TV sitcom did Brian Wilde
0:04:55 > 0:04:58play a character called Foggy Dewhurst?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Um...
0:05:00 > 0:05:01The Last Of The Summer Wine?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Absolutely right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09And he died in March 2008, Brian Wilde.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Kevin, your question.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14If you get this wrong, you're out.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Who directed the 1992 film Peter's Friends?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Kenneth Branagh.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21The correct answer, well done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23He's not shaken off very easily!
0:05:23 > 0:05:24But Janet, you're doing well.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Here's your question.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Ted and Joanna are the first names of the title characters
0:05:31 > 0:05:34in which Oscar-winning 1979 film?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Worth having a guess.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46I really can't think. My mind's just gone completely blank. Sorry.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Kevin, do you want to say what you think it is?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It's Kramer Vs. Kramer.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Oh!- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Kramer Vs. Kramer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So now you are in a position
0:05:57 > 0:06:01to take the round and knock Janet out, Kevin. Your question.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04College Boy by Derek New is the title
0:06:04 > 0:06:07of the signature tune of which TV quiz?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Logically, it's got to be University Challenge, hasn't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12University Challenge.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Yeah, logically that's it,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17and that is the correct answer, Kevin, well done. You've won.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Janet, you were knocked out by our Egghead.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26But you fought very hard there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39The next subject is Science. Who wants Science?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Steve.- Steve.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Steve should go.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And against which Egghead?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Who do you think?- Who do you think should play this one?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49We'll play against Judith.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55Steve from The Hanging Gale versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Steve, good luck to you.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Three questions start here. Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Steve.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Forked and ball are both types of which natural phenomenon?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That would be lighting.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Very good. Lightning is the correct answer.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Judith, your question.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29The grey squirrel is believed
0:07:29 > 0:07:34to have been introduced to the UK in the 19th century from which country?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I think it came from the USA.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That's the correct answer. Back to you, Steve.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Traditionally, what's the highest category of classification
0:07:48 > 0:07:54in taxonomy - the hierarchical organisation of living organisms?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I don't think it's kingdom.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07Out of the other two, I think I would plump for...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08genus.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Genus is wrong. And it is kingdom.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Kingdom is the correct answer.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Judith, your question.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20How many hectograms, Judith, are there in a kilogram?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Well, a milligram is 1,000, isn't it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33A decagram... It's got to be... 100, I suppose.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- It's ten.- It's ten? Dash.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Steve, she's kept you in the game.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39If you get this one right,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42you've a good chance of knocking an Egghead out.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48Which astronomer is commemorated with a memorial
0:08:48 > 0:08:51in Westminster Abbey, bearing the inscription,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55"coelorum perrupit claustra,"
0:08:55 > 0:08:59or, "He broke through the barriers of the heavens?"
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It would be a complete guess.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm going to go Edmond Halley.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Bad luck. You had a one in three.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17It's not Halley. It's Herschel.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Judith, if you get this right,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22you will be in the final round.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Which type of bird in the Galapagos
0:09:24 > 0:09:28had a profound influence on Charles Darwin's thinking
0:09:28 > 0:09:30about the variability of species,
0:09:30 > 0:09:36which set him on the path towards the theory of evolution?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I thought it was finches of some kind.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46And it's not finches.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Unless one of those is a type of finch.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54I don't know. I'm actually going to say hummingbird.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Hummingbird is wrong. It's mockingbird. Finches?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Where are you getting finches from?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04He was probably more famous with the finches, but that came later.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05The variations in their beaks
0:10:05 > 0:10:08which had developed for different purposes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The first ones he saw that had developed variations,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15because of lack of contact between islands, were these mockingbirds.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Mockingbirds was the answer we needed.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So three questions each and now the scores are level.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24We go to Sudden Death. Steve, it's that bit harder.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm not going to give alternative answers.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Your question. Which toad, with a yellow stripe down its back,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34has the scientific name Bufo calamita
0:10:34 > 0:10:38and runs in short bursts, rather than hops?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I only know one type of toad,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and that would be the natterjack.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Is that your answer? - Natterjack will be my answer.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49OK. That's correct. Well done.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Thought to be Europe's noisiest amphibian.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Because they can hear each other over several kilometres, amazingly.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Hence natterjack.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Judith, if you don't get this right, we all know what happens, don't we?
0:11:06 > 0:11:13- Yeah.- What is the smaller of the two known satellites of the planet Mars?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Um...Phobos.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I don't know where you got that from. It's wrong.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- But it is the other one. Phobos is the larger one.- Oh.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Deimos is the answer to that.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30So valiant battle on Science, Judith.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Not your core subject.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35But Steve has won and that means, Steve,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38you take your place in the final. You took on an Egghead
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and you emerged triumphant. What about that? Congratulations.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47As it stands, the challengers and the Eggheads
0:11:47 > 0:11:53have lost one brain each from the final round, and the next subject is Arts And Books.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Sharp intake of breath.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Who wants that?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's got to be Paul, hasn't it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Paul or Dave.- Paul or Dave? Paul?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- I think...- You're going to...play?- Yeah. Who against?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Confident of Chris or CJ?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I'll choose CJ, please.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Paul from The Hanging Gale against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16To ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Paul. You're an England football supporter.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I am. I used to go to tournaments with England.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I went to the France '98 World Cup
0:12:26 > 0:12:30and the Euro 2000 Championships with the Football Supporters' Federation,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34where we give advice and support to the travelling England fans,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and obviously support the team as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41All right. Must be a sign of change that an England fan here is doing Arts And Books, in Eggheads.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You can choose the first set of questions or the second.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47First worked for Steve, so I'll stick with first, please.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Paul, The Subtle Knife is the second novel in which series of books?
0:12:58 > 0:13:04Well, I remember reading the Narnia books as a younger person
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and I certainly don't remember that book.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And my children were fans of Harry Potter
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and I don't remember that being a Harry Potter title,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14so I'd say His Dark Materials.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Correct answer.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20His Dark Materials.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21CJ, "And so to bed,"
0:13:21 > 0:13:25is a famous phrase associated with the writing of which person?
0:13:29 > 0:13:34The man most noted for burying his Parmesan, Samuel Pepys.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Samuel Pepys is correct, CJ.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38One point each.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42What was the relationship between the two successful playwrights
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Peter Shaffer and Anthony Shaffer?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I can remember seeing plays by Peter Shaffer, but I must admit,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I'm guessing a little bit on this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I'm going to guess at father and son.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06They were actually brothers.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Twin brothers. All right, CJ,
0:14:09 > 0:14:15which Shakespeare comedy is set in Navarre
0:14:15 > 0:14:17on the border of France and Spain?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Shakespeare for me ranks just about where poetry goes,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28right at the very bottom.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Um...
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Twelfth Night... Um...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Duke of Orsino is in Twelfth Night.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Now, is the Duke of Orsino Spanish? Doesn't sound like it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Sounds more Italian to me. So I'm going to go Love's Labour's Lost.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Now, Barry, you can tell him. Is he right?- He is indeed.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Twelfth Night was set on the coast of Illyria,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51which is modern-day Albania,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53and As You Like It is set in the Forest of Arden.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57And when CJ does his thing about, "I'm not interested in Shakespeare,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- "because he's rubbish..." - Dagger through my heart.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03CJ, you've got to understand, that hurts Barry.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I see you actually folded up in pain there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08OK, the answer is Love's Labour's Lost. Well done.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Third question. You need this one, Paul.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16What was the novelist Graham Greene's first given name?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23He's a novelist I've enjoyed.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I've read a number of his books,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28but I must say, I'm not sure about his first name.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I'm going to go for Henry.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And you're right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38CJ, your question.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39For the round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Which writer is credited with being the first to use the expression,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45"Elementary, my dear Watson,"
0:15:45 > 0:15:48which was never actually said by Sherlock Holmes
0:15:48 > 0:15:49in any book by Conan Doyle?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Interesting. I knew it was a misquotation.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I know Conan Doyle never used it. Um...
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Oscar Wilde died in 1900, so...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I don't know, but just going on the dates
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and the style of writing, I'd go for Wodehouse.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Wodehouse is...correct.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16CJ, well done. It was PG Wodehouse.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18So that means you've taken the round
0:16:18 > 0:16:19after a brave battle.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Thereby, Paul, you were beaten by our Egghead, and as a result,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26you will not be able to join your team in the final round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Please, both, come back to us.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The challengers have lost two brains
0:16:31 > 0:16:36from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Last subject is Politics.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- Who wants Politics?- It'll be me?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Dave?- Who can I take on?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47You've only got Barry or Chris left.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'll take Barry. Yeah, I'll take Barry.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52We'll go for Barry.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56OK. Dave from The Hanging Gale against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01OK, Dave, you're a careers adviser too?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- I am indeed. - Good luck with politics here.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn and, Dave,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09you can choose the first or second set.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'll actually go second this time.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Barry, in Parliament,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20what do MPs traditionally shout out when they agree with the Speaker?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It would be nice to imagine them all shouting out, "Yeah, yeah!"
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Maybe if Parliament was in Liverpool.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I believe they shout out, "Hear, hear!"
0:17:32 > 0:17:36They do shout out, "Hear, hear!" Of course.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Dave, your question.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Now you wish you'd gone first? - Yes, indeed!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Your question - in November 2008,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47it was reported that until very recently,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52which American politician believed that Africa was a country
0:17:52 > 0:17:54rather than a continent?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Well, I think it would have been reported a bit earlier
0:18:04 > 0:18:07if it had been George W. Bush, so I'm going to go for Sarah Palin.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Sarah Palin is correct.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Barry, your question.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14In terms of area,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16which is the largest country in the European Union?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Certainly not Italy.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25I think Spain is just bigger than France, so my answer is Spain.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And your answer is wrong. It's France.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Ah!- I'd have thought that's page one of the quizzer's handbook,
0:18:32 > 0:18:33that sort of fact.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I always jump in at the middle of every book I ever read.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, Dave,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42a bit of an opportunity here. Your question.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46The declaration of independence in 1965
0:18:46 > 0:18:50by which territory was known as UDI?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58That was the Unilateral Declaration of Independence, wasn't it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm pretty sure that was Rhodesia.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Southern Rhodesia. - Southern Rhodesia is your answer.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08And it's quite right. Yes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09TEAM-MATES CLAP
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Barry.
0:19:11 > 0:19:18When was the last time a UK general election was held on a day
0:19:18 > 0:19:19other than a Thursday?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Gosh.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'm hoping it was before I was born
0:19:30 > 0:19:35because I don't think '65 was not held on a Thursday.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37But I'm really not sure on this.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43It was a long time ago. I'm going to go for 1944 and hope I'm correct.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Do any of our challengers know? - 1931.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- What makes you think that?- I don't think there were general elections
0:19:50 > 0:19:51in the other two years.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Interesting.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Hadn't crossed my mind, but...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- But you're right. 1931, Barry.- Oh!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Not '44. So there's two great quizzing facts
0:20:00 > 0:20:03you're going to remember for the rest of your life.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Barry, that means you're not in the final round. There's no way back.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So very well done to Dave there.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11You will join your team in the final.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You've emerged triumphant against our Egghead.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Come back to the studio.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's time for the final round - General Knowledge.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'm afraid those who lost
0:20:24 > 0:20:27the head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30So Paul and Janet from The Hanging Gale
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:33 > 0:20:34would you leave the studio?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Bill, Steve and Dave, you are playing to win The Hanging Gale £13,000.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Chris, Kevin and CJ, you are playing for something which money can't buy,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53The questions are all general knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Bill, Steve and Dave, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think we've just decided to go first.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Very best of luck to you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Which famous aircraft
0:21:05 > 0:21:09was usually powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's definitely the Spitfire, is it?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Spitfire?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I think...Steve here thinks it's a Spitfire.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- He's right.- Well done, Steve. - Spitfire is correct.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Eggheads, "'Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34"'and go on till you come to the end, then stop,'"
0:21:34 > 0:21:39is a quotation from which 1865 novel?
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Yes.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It's not The Hobbit, because that was written
0:21:48 > 0:21:53in the 20th century. It's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It's the right answer. Well done.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Back to you, Hanging Gale -
0:21:57 > 0:22:01In finance, what is the name of the American company that claims
0:22:01 > 0:22:05to be the world's foremost provider of independent credit ratings?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Standard And Poor's? - Is it definitely Standard And Poor's?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- It's the only one of those that I've heard of. It is.- It is.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I think we're going on this one for Standard And Poor's.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It doesn't sound right, but it is right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Standard And Poor's.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31They've been taking an bit of a bashing lately, haven't they?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Eggheads, your question.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Running to keep up here.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The Man In Seat Sixty-One is a website
0:22:38 > 0:22:42that gives advice and information to whom?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49The Man In Seat Sixty-One is a website
0:22:49 > 0:22:52that gives advice and information to whom?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- It's a travel website, isn't it? - Is it?- I think so.- OK,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58if you say so. Well, I've never heard of it,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and it falls in my remit, but I'm told it's rail travellers.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03You're right.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Eggheads, two points each.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Your third question,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09keep the pressure on here.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Which commodity was described by Galileo
0:23:13 > 0:23:15as sunlight held together by water?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- Galileo?- Did Galileo drink? - Apple juice?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I think wine out of those.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30He probably did come across whiskey.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'd have thought wine or fruit.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Wine is going to be like,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37grown by the sunlight, aren't they?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Fruits, apples and grapes are grown by the sunlight.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43It doesn't make sense to just describe wine
0:23:43 > 0:23:44- as that, does it?- Whiskey?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Unless he's talking about grape takes in the sunlight...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50That's what I'm saying. And then this...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- We're going to have to go with wine. - Wine, yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56We think, we're not totally sure on this,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58but I think we're having to go for wine.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Wine is correct.- Well done.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04They're very excited behind you!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Eggheads, if you get this wrong,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09our brilliant Hanging Gale have won £13,000.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14What was the name of the Cardinal Archbishop of Manila,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18from the mid-1970s to 2003?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Well, Cardinal Polish, my mum used to polish the front step with.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It was Cardinal Sin.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Cardinal Polish, it was not.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Cardinal Sin is the correct answer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Well done, Eggheads. You're still in the game. We go to Sudden Death.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's level pegging after three questions.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'm not going to give you multiple choice.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You have to give me the answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Lilibet is the pet name of which member of the Royal Family?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51The Queen?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Well, who else could it be? - Elizabeth...
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Yeah, but have a think about who it could be apart from that.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- I think we'll go with that first instinct.- We'll go with it, yes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- We're going to go with the Queen. - The Queen is right.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It was that straightforward.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Lilibet, Elizabeth, the Queen. Well done.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Eggheads, Jeudi is the French name for which day of the week?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- So it's Thursday?- Yes.- Thursday.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Thursday is correct.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Back to you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30What is the Polish word for Polish?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The country is Polska. So Polski could be the language.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Polski. I think Polski.- Polski.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40We're going to go for Polski.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Brilliant. Well done.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Eggheads, if you get this wrong, they take the money.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Which pop manager's family owned the chain of shops called NEMS,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55North End Music Stores, based in Liverpool?
0:25:55 > 0:26:01NEMS Enterprises used to have a lot of people's copyrights, didn't they?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02We'll go with Brian Epstein?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Yes, Brian Epstein.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Is the right answer. Brian Epstein.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Hanging Gale -
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Assay offices for the hallmarking of precious metals
0:26:12 > 0:26:16are now only found in four British cities - Sheffield, Birmingham,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19London and which other?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Edinburgh.- Is it Edinburgh? - Are sure it's not Glasgow?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I'm not sure... - I would go Edinburgh though.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I think if we're going to go for a Scottish one, we have to go for Edinburgh.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think we're going to go, out of the two,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I think we're going to go for Edinburgh.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35It's Edinburgh.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Good play.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Eggheads, if you get this wrong,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44then you've lost, and they take the money.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Grimsetter is the former name
0:26:46 > 0:26:50of the airport which serves which British group of islands?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Can you spell it, Jeremy?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Grimsetter. G-R-I-M-S-E-T-T-E-R -
0:26:55 > 0:26:57is the former name of the airport
0:26:57 > 0:27:00which serves which British group of islands?
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- Have you been to the one in the Orkneys?- That's Kirkwall. Has it always been called Kirkwall?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It sounds more...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Shetland and Orkneys. - It's in the Outer Hebrides.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Nothing in the Scillies? - No.- It can't be the Channels?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I think we've really come down to the Orkneys or the Shetlands.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I'd be inclined to go for Shetlands myself.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- So would I.- But does the language suit the Shetlands?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Yeah, they're both Nordic.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It sounds, I don't know, to me, it sounds as though
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- it's more likely to be Shetlands. - If you're all happy, we'll go Shetlands.- Yes.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Happy to go for it.- OK.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It's either the Orkneys or the Shetlands
0:27:39 > 0:27:41and we think it's the Shetlands.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It's the Orkneys. Congratulations, challengers. You've won!
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yes.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Kirkwall now and Grimsetter before.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Have you been there?- Yes.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Oh, yes. We've been there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Fantastic. £13,000. What are you going to spend the money on?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Anything fun?- Maybe a holiday or something. I don't know.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- A holiday in the Orkneys. - Can we all go to Shetland?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Why not?- Maybe we should be to the Orkneys.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's great to have a winning team - you played really well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Thank you. You've won £13,000.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads. All of you!
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You can applaud if you want.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You've proved they can be beaten, that's the crucial thing.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:30 > 0:28:32will be as successful. Until then, goodbye.
