0:00:04 > 0:00:09'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15'They make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are, of course, the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Challenging our champions today...
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Apart from their ex-colleague Martyn
0:00:44 > 0:00:50they all for a company in London's Regent Street - let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm Steve. I'm 27 and I'm a sales team leader.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm Andrew, 42 years old and I'm a publishing broker.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'm Benjy. I'm 22 and I'm a sales broker.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I'm Martyn. I'm 28 and I'm a sales supervisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08My name's Owen. I'm 38 and I'm a sales manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Welcome to you, Regents. Martin, you're an ex-colleague.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Yes.- All in sales. Who's the best salesman amongst you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Ben's the most modest(!)
0:01:21 > 0:01:26I'd have to say Owen. He's the manager with the most experience.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30How's your quizzing been? Steven, you've organised the team.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33We've had a few practices at work.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39In sales, everyone thinks they're the best, so it's a chance to prove it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Benjy thinks he's the best!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46We don't have a sales category, but plenty of others. Best of luck.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The Eggheads have won the last six games.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06The first head-to-head battle. The subject is geography.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Who'd like to play this?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Benjy.- Benjy. - Straight in to prove it, Benjy.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- You didn't say you were the best quizzer.- No.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- Who would you like to play? - I would like to play Judith, please.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28Let's have Benjy and Millionaire winner Judith into the question room
0:02:28 > 0:02:30so there's no conferring.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- Benjy, would you like to go first or second?- I will go second, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Judith to kick off, which European country
0:02:42 > 0:02:47is divided into the predominantly Dutch dialect-speaking north
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and the predominantly French-dialect speaking south?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58That's the Flemings and the Walloons, isn't it? Belgium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Belgium is the right answer.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Benjy, your first question.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11Between 1974 and 1997, Rutland was part of which English county?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Hm. Right, counties not my best,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22as I'm sure that London's a county.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27I'm going to have to go with Cambridgeshire. Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Cambridgeshire, you like. '74 and '97, Rutland was abolished.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Amalgamated with...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Leicestershire. Nothing for you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It means Judith has a chance
0:03:43 > 0:03:49to take a 2-0 lead with this one - what is the capital of the US state of North Dakota?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You need CJ for this kind of thing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I have a feeling it's Bismarck.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. It's correct.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04So, 2-0. Benjy you need this.
0:04:04 > 0:04:11A moor and tor landscape is usually associated with what type of rock?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm assuming "moor" like the...
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I don't know whether... Sussex Downs and moors.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Chalk is in Brighton. It makes me think that could be a moor.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Granite is very hard, obviously.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Um... It's going to be a guess again, I suppose.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Chalk...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Is that your answer? - It is, indeed my answer.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Not chalk. No.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It is, Eggheads...?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49ALL: Granite.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53A moor and tor landscape associated with granite.
0:04:53 > 0:04:582-0 to Judith. We don't get to put another question to either of you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04Benjy, you won't be playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Bad luck, Benjy. Still there for moral support.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Regents, you've lost one brain from the final round. Eggheads haven't lost any yet.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Let's play our second round, music.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19This might suit a few of you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Who'd like to play? Can't be Benjy. - Andrew?
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- I think we should go for you. - Looking very eager, Andrew.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32You didn't look around at your team mates. who would you like to play?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Not Judith, but any of the other Eggheads.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41She is wearing the same colour shirt and looking radiant as ever.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- I'm going to have to go for Daphne. - Some kind of duet!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- DAPHNE LAUGHS - I can imagine.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Andrew and Daphne duetting in the question room. The subject's music.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- Andrew, I know why you were so keen. You're a talented musician.- I try.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Aren't you a concert grade pianist?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Yes. That's right. - Where have you played?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Well, I've played at the Royal Festival Hall.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16I've been playing since I was three. I went to the Royal College as well.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19A real prodigy. Played with the Barnet Symphony Orchestra?
0:06:19 > 0:06:25- Yeah. Played Rach 2 with them when I was 17, 18.- Andrew, best of luck.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Thank you.- First or second? Which set of questions do you want?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Um... I'll try going first.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Your question then, Andrew.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41The musical Never Forget is based on the songs of which boy band?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Well, um... I think 'N Sync had Justin Timberlake, didn't they?
0:06:49 > 0:06:55I think... I don't recall there being a musical on his life.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Boyzone is all ballads. I'd rather forget their music.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07Um... I think it's likely to be Take That. Yup.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Never Forget.- Take That.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It's correct. Well done. Good solid start.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Susanna Hoffs became famous as the lead singer of which girl group?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Chris so wishes he was facing this(!)
0:07:27 > 0:07:33Well, it's not TLC but I don't know which of the others it is.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Um... Oh, dear. 50-50.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Always get it wrong, don't I? So...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh...!
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- The Bangles.- The Bangles.- Sorry.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Chris, you're keen on Bananarama.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- You know all their names.- No.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Apart from Siobhan Fahey.- He knows.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58No. It is The Bangles. All cheering along here, the Eggheads.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Andrew, second question for you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Good luck with this one.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Who had a 1996 UK hit with the dance anthem Born Slippy?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Right, I... Dance?
0:08:15 > 0:08:21It's not my biggest... area of expertise.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23ANDREW: '96?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I think it might be a bit early for Chemical Brothers.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30So it may be one of the other two.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I'll...try Orbital.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39It's the other one. It's Underworld. Born Slippy.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42In '96. Daphne, this is yours.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48In which Verdi opera does the famous Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves appear?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Now, that's what I call music.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Nabucco.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59All the Eggheads grinning. It's the right answer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02You've got to get this, Andrew.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08Suzanne and Bird On A Wire are songs by which singer songwriter?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Well, this sounds very folky.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Don't know Pete Seeger's songs.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I know one or two Joni Mitchell songs.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I don't know. I'll have to go for Leonard Cohen.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Not too sure about this one, either. Can't afford to get it wrong.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42You haven't. It's correct, Andrew. Susanne and Bird On A Wire.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Got to hope Daphne doesn't get this.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52Californication was a hit album released in 1999 by which rock band?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Foo Fighters.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Foo Fighters. Californication. Chris?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Red Hot Chili Peppers. - It's the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12So, we go to sudden death and remove the choices.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14This is your question, Andrew.
0:10:14 > 0:10:24What is the title of the hymn that features the line All Creatures Great And Small?
0:10:24 > 0:10:31Being a church organist, I'd be ashamed if I got this wrong! All Things Bright And Beautiful.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Great the way that felt for you. It's the right answer!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Daphne, your question
0:10:38 > 0:10:40to stay in the game.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Whitney Houston's hits I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You
0:10:45 > 0:10:49appeared on the soundtrack of which 1992 film?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- The Bodyguard. - A steely glare again.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's the right answer.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59The Bodyguard, I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Starring Kevin Costner, wasn't it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06KEVIN: And Whitney Houston.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Andrew, another question for you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15The album Blue Train released in 1957 is by which jazz musician?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- How's your jazz, Andrew? - Er... Shaky!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Blue Train, released in 1957.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- If it's '57... It's jazz. - I need an answer.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's going to be one of the greats.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Somebody like Charlie Parker, Johnny Coltrane.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37ANDREW: Um... The Duke.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Blue Train. Train, train, train. - Blue Train.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43This is so difficult.
0:11:43 > 0:11:51The only...people I think may stick that in the title might be the Duke, Duke Ellington, or Johnny Coltrane.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I'll go for Johnny Coltrane.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58You got it! Well done, Andrew.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Well worked out.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02John Coltrane. Blue Train.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Well done, Andrew. That is a tough question. By gum, you worked hard.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Let's see if it's enough to win the round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:19Daphne, which band had UK top 40 hit singles with Everyday People and Family Affair?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22No idea. I pass. Not a clue.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- Congratulations, Andrew. - You are laying down the sword?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I really don't know. Bands? There's hundreds of them.
0:12:31 > 0:12:38I'm taking that pass. I know what you Eggheads are like. Probably have a guess and get it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Congratulations, Andrew. You're through to the next round.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Everyday People and Family Affair?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Sly And The Family Stone. - From Chris!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Sly And The Family Stone.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Daphne didn't hazard a guess.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00Andrew worked incredibly hard to give me John Coltrane, the writer and performer of Blue Train.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09That stunning performance has levelled it up, I'm glad to say.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13One Egghead missing and one of the Regents so far.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Let's play another round. Getting very exciting.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Who'd like to play this?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Steve, Martyn or Owen?
0:13:21 > 0:13:27MARTYN: I wouldn't mind, but you're the captain, it's up to you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31We'll go with what we said, then. We'll play Martyn.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Martyn, who would you like to play? The women have played.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37One of the chaps - Kevin, Barry or Chris?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39We'd like to try out Barry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- "Try out Barry." - REGENTS LAUGH
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I know what you mean, in quiz terms.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Let's have Martyn and Barry into the question room.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Martyn, how do you want to play it? Go first or let Barry begin?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think I'll let Barry begin, please.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01This one's for you, Barry.
0:14:01 > 0:14:08Which character from the TV soap Dallas was famously brought back from the dead,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12when the events in the previous series turned out to be a dream?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The chap who played the man from Atlantis.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- It was Bobby.- Bobby!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Yes, Bobby is the right answer. Bobby Ewing.
0:14:26 > 0:14:33Martyn, how did the central characters in the TV sitcom Steptoe And Son make their living?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Steptoe And Son?- Yes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I used to watch this with my father when I was very small.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48I always had visions of a really old man in a sink.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50MARTYN: Which isn't nice.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55As far as I can remember, I believe they were rag and bone men.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Rag and bone men, Steptoe And Son?
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Absolutely right. Chris might do his Albert Steptoe for us.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I do Harold Steptoe, not Albert.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11AS HAROLD: You dirty old man!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17What is the name of Ali G's girlfriend?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Gosh. I watched a few of these and I never saw a girlfriend ever.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Who's she likely to be?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Katy sounds too English for Ali G.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36On no evidence whatsoever I'll go for Suzie.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Ali G's girlfriend is "me Julie".
0:15:41 > 0:15:43BARRY: Of course! Yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48I don't remember seeing her. He talked about her a lot.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53I think she's a character that never appears, like Mrs Mainwaring.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58The way it stuck in my mind was that cringe-making moment
0:15:58 > 0:16:03when Richard Madeley dressed up as Ali G and referred to "me Judy".
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Nothing there for Barry.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Chance for Martyn.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14In which film did Julia Roberts play a character called Vivian Ward?
0:16:20 > 0:16:26I think my better half would be better to answer this question.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32MARTYN: Vivian Ward? The name does definitely ring a bell.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Something's making me think Pretty Woman.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Perhaps she was nicknamed Viv. I'm going with Pretty Woman.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Vivian Ward. Julia Roberts. Um...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Oh, no.- Barry's got one wrong. A real chance to capitalise.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54You have! Correct! Pretty Woman.
0:16:56 > 0:17:03This to save yourself, Barry. Cato Fong is a character in which series of films?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Definitely The Pink Panther. I won't do the accent.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Pink Panther. Yeah. Cato Fong.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Martyn, you need to get this
0:17:14 > 0:17:16to win the round.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22Who plays the British soldier Jody in the 1992 film The Crying Game?
0:17:27 > 0:17:33I've not seen this film for many, many years. So this will be...
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- At least you've seen it, Martyn. - This is an educated guess.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I don't think Laurence Fishburne.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47I can't remember him in any movies prior to the Tina Turner,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50What's Love Got To Do With It?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Something is drawing me to Forest Whitaker.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58I'm going to have to take an educated guess at Forest Whitaker.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03The British soldier Jody in The Crying Game
0:18:03 > 0:18:06is played by Forest Whitaker.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09You're through to the final round.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Three out of three.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Impeccable performance, Martyn. Please come back and join your teams.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Another Egghead cracks.
0:18:21 > 0:18:27Swung it your way now, The Regents. Eggheads have lost two brains, you've lost one.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33Our last head-to-head now. History. Two eligible players.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Steve or Owen, who's it to be?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's got to be you!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Is that OK?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It has to be Owen. You pulling the age card?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45STEVE: Yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47We'll go with Owen.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Owen's seen a bit more of it? - That's what we're going with.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56We do go back several thousand years in the category.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01But, Owen, who would you like to play?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04The Eggheads' two remaining are Kevin and Chris.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Kevin. He's wearing a similar...
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- STEVE: We'll go with shirt colours. - It worked for Andrew!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Let's see if it works again.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Owen and Kevin, please, into the question room to play history.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- First or second, Owen?- First. I might as well get used to it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Let's hope this one settles you in.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Owen, good luck.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33The Hansom, designed in 1834 by the architect Joseph Hansom,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35was what type of transport?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Um... Doesn't ring any bells with bicycle.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I don't know anything about steam engines.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51I have heard of a Hansom cab so I'm aiming for cab.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I'll go for cab.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Of course. It's the right answer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Ho Chi Minh was President of which country between 1954 and 1969?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12It was North Vietnam, the leader for most of the Vietnam War.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Yes, it's the right answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Good start for you both.
0:20:18 > 0:20:25Owen, which King was accused of smuggling a changeling in a warming pan into his wife's chambers
0:20:25 > 0:20:28in the desire to produce a male heir?
0:20:33 > 0:20:38This is purely down to the fact that he was struggling to have an heir,
0:20:38 > 0:20:45- I'd say it's Henry VIII. - A changeling and warming pan!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's not Henry VIII. Eggheads?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50ALL: James II.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Nothing for you, Owen.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Who denounced Stalin as a brutal despot
0:20:56 > 0:21:00in "the secret speech" in the 20th congress of the Communist Party?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It didn't stay secret for long. It became a big news story.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Krushchev, 1956.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Thanks for the date, Kevin. That's the right answer.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17You've got to get this, Owen.
0:21:17 > 0:21:24Which President of the United States signed the 1812 Declaration of War against Great Britain
0:21:24 > 0:21:28because of violations of US maritime rights during the Napoleonic Wars?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37This really... I have to really pick one out of the hat.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45I'm being pushed towards James Buchanan but I don't know why.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I'm going to go for my gut feeling.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53The President who signed that declaration was James...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Madison. James Madison, Owen.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Kevin's 100 percent record
0:21:59 > 0:22:01stays intact.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:05 > 0:22:11This is evenly balanced, what we've been playing towards - the final round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20Those of you who lost those head-to-heads won't take part, so Benjy and Owen,
0:22:20 > 0:22:25and Daphne and Barry, would you all leave the studio, please?
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Steve, Andrew and Martyn, you're playing to win the Regents £7,000.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37Chris, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:37 > 0:22:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn, this time, all general knowledge.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48And, of course, big difference, you are allowed to confer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54Regents, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Will you go first or second?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- You're the team leader. - We'll go second.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Here we go, Eggheads.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Rincewind is a character in a series of books by which writer?
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Rincewind is a character in a series of books by which writer?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Let's have a spelling. - R-I-N-C-E-W-I-N-D
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Pratchett. - Are you fairly sure?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yes, Terry Pratchett.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Bit of discussion. - But it's Terry Pratchett.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Your two colleagues behind you rather relieved.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42It is the correct answer. Rincewind.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Good luck, guys.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50The Venus Rosewater Dish is awarded to the ladies' singles champion of which tennis tournament?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55The Venus Rosewater Dish...
0:23:55 > 0:24:00We're all agreed so we'll go Wimbledon.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04So eager I didn't get to read it twice!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You are correct. One each.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Eggheads, second question.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14In the 1980s television advertisement for the Yellow Pages,
0:24:14 > 0:24:19the fictional author JR Hartley was looking for his book on which sport?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26In the 1980s TV advertisement for the Yellow Pages,
0:24:26 > 0:24:31the fictional author JR Hartley was looking for his book on which sport?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34"I wonder if you have a copy of Fly Fishing..."
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It's fly fishing.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41They ask for his name and it's JR Hartley. It's the right answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Some publisher did bring out a book called Fly Fishing by JR Hartley.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Regents, in which decade did the Thames Barrier become operational?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01In which decade did the Thames Barrier become operational?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04No, it can't be the '80s.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Don't rule it out.- "Operational".
0:25:07 > 0:25:14I know it was being built during the '70s but if you think the '80s.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I'm tempted to go towards that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21We're all tempted but we're not 100 percent sure.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27- The '80s.- OK, I heard that you think construction started in the '70s.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Believe so, yeah.- The question was clear, "become operational".
0:25:31 > 0:25:34You've got it. Well done.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Two each.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Important questions coming up.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Which philosopher argued that unenlightened humans were like people in a cave
0:25:44 > 0:25:48who assumed that the shadows on the wall were real?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- Definitely Plato. - Certainly not Machiavelli.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's called the Analogy of the Cave.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Definitely Plato.- Not Heidegger?- No.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It's Plato.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Plato is correct. Yes, shadows on the cave wall.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Regents, you put them in first. They haven't done what you hoped for.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20This takes us to sudden death, if, of course, you get it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26Which Hollywood star was pelted with flour thrown by protesting feminists
0:26:26 > 0:26:30when he hosted the 1970 Miss World competition?
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Which Hollywood star was pelted with flour thrown by protesting feminists
0:26:39 > 0:26:43when he hosted the 1970 Miss World competition?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Who's likely not to be liked by feminists?- Jack Nicholson.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Or Charlton Heston.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Bob Hope is so loveable!
0:26:51 > 0:26:57I thought Jack or Bob, I'd rather go with Jack rather than Charlton.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Charlton Heston's likely to be a bigger star.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- But would he be disliked? - Yes, he would.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- Let's go with Heston. - Are you happy, Martyn?- Yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Andrew?- Pretty sure.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15OK, let's go for Heston.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22We'll go for Charlton Heston. Not confident at all.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I can tell that. Charlton Heston. The 1970 Miss World competition.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29And the answer's Bob Hope.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Oh, no!
0:27:31 > 0:27:36You have some consolation in that he wasn't really front of the list.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38He'd have been third choice.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It does mean, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yeah, Jack Nicholson
0:27:46 > 0:27:51and Miss World - like putting a kid in charge of a sweetie shop!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Bad luck.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Very, very close game and some great individual performances.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Thanks very much for playing today, Regents.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £7,000.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14The money rolls over. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
