0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz
0:00:27 > 0:00:31challengers attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won some of the country's
0:00:34 > 0:00:37toughest quiz shows, they are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:44And taking on our resident quiz Goliaths today, are the Eggitors, from London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49This team are colleagues at the same media company. When they aren't quizzing at various local pubs,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54then they like to test one another's general knowledge during lunch breaks. Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Conrad, I'm 24 and I'm a clinical trials scientific editor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Livia, I'm 25, and I'm a scientific news editor.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Don, I'm 22 and I'm a scientific editor.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Jaya, I'm 25, and I'm a licensing scientific editor.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 30 and I'm also a scientific editor.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Conrad and team, welcome to you. Hi.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Great to see a very young team here.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20This always throws that lot.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23They get frightened by youth.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27We hope so, anyway. You all work for the same pharmaceutical publication?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Yes, we do, it's an online database for pharmaceuticals.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Do you need a background in medicine for that, or what?
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Life science, so biological science, basically, so, hopefully our science knowledge is...
0:01:38 > 0:01:42What if we get you on music or politics and you have all got the same subject strengths?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Is that going to be a problem?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Politics, maybe not, but music we should be OK.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50We'll see. Thanks for joining us.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Every day there's ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:06So, The Eggitors, the Eggheads have won the last three games so ?4,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Shall we try? Yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14challengers. not pharmaceuticals!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Politics!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Which one of you wants this? OK.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Right. I know nothing on politics.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26It's gonna have to be... Want to go for it, Liv?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29What if music comes up?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30I can do music.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I think Liv. We think Liv.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38OK, we've decided.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Liv is going to do it. Liv on politics against which egghead?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Not Judith. No.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52This is supposed to be the easiest question.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Come on. Barry. Shall we go for Barry. Yes. Barry.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58OK, it's Liv from The Eggitors verses Barry from the Eggheads and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:58 > 0:03:03please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07So, Livia, your dream is to live in a loft in New York.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, a loft apartment, yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10I'd love to live in New York.
0:03:10 > 0:03:18Why is that? Oh, it's just so huge and it's much bigger than London and the buildings are amazing.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I went last year and I had a really good time.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Wouldn't you miss your friends here and their quizzing and the gossip?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26They can come and stay in my loft apartment.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Good luck. I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on politics in turn.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And obviously, whoever answers the most questions
0:03:33 > 0:03:35correctly goes through to the final. The other person is knocked out.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Livia, you can tell me if you want to have the first or the second set. I'll go first, please.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Your first question. What nickname was George W Bush
0:03:47 > 0:03:52given in 1994 during his campaign to be an elected Governor of Texas?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK. I'm not entirely sure.
0:04:04 > 0:04:12For some reason, my first idea would be Shrub. I think...
0:04:12 > 0:04:17I wouldn't know, so I'm just going to have to make a slight guess at Shrub.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Yes, Shrub is right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Barry, your question, what name is given to a district in the UK
0:04:25 > 0:04:28administered by just one tier of local government?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's a unitary authority.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Quite right. 1-1.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Liv. Is it Liv or Livia?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Either.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's Livia now, and then after I've known you for a while it's Liv.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Yeah, exactly. I understand.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50A prominent diarist, a former Defence Secretary and a former
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Foreign Secretary have all been recent MPs for which constituency?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Erm...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The only diarist I can think of
0:05:09 > 0:05:12is Jeffrey Archer, but I don't know whether
0:05:12 > 0:05:16he'd have been an MP for...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I don't think he'd be in Scotland,
0:05:18 > 0:05:24so I think I'm going to rule out Dundee West,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27so that just leaves the other two. I want to say Kensington and Chelsea.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So I think, yeah, I'm going to go with Kensington and Chelsea.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Kensington and Chelsea is your answer. It's right.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Eggheads, can you name the diarist, the former Defence Secretary and the former Foreign Secretary?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Alan Clark. Michael Portillo.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Malcolm Rifkind.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Malcolm Rifkind, yeah. Over to you, Barry, to catch up.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52In 2003, which journalist became the regular presenter
0:05:52 > 0:05:56of the late-night BBC political review, This Week?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Andrew Neil. Yeah. Brilliant at it as well.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Andrew Neil.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11OK, Liv...ia.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Immediately before he became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 2007,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Alastair Darling was Secretary of State for which department?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31OK. I think he's Scottish, I think,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34but I don't think that necessarily means
0:06:34 > 0:06:36he was working for them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I don't want to say transport.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm going to go Trade and Industry.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I don't know why. I just feel like it's the right answer.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's the right answer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Brilliant. You are good.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Barry, if you don't get this right... It's curtains.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Yep.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08Which was the last state to declare its results in the 2008 US presidential election?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Gosh! Well, the obvious answer is Alaska.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Given the huge distances between all the various cities in Alaska.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I can't imagine it would be North Carolina or Missouri,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27because they're normally quite
0:07:27 > 0:07:29early in.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33So my answer must be Alaska.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's wrong. Yes!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36It's wrong.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You say North Carolina.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Anyone else?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Was it Missouri?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Missouri. Missouri, maybe it was tight.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'm trying to remember.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well done, Livia!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What about that? First blood to our Eggitors.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You took on an egghead, you emerge triumphant, you'll be in the final round.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00I'm sorry to say, Barry, you won't be. Do both of you, please, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Livia, well done. Thank you. May be that loft in New York is not far away.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The next subject is Science. Science? Perfect.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19I think that will be you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21OK.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And...Judith?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Judith, I'm thinking Judith.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Yeah. Judith.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32So, Jaya, from The Eggitors verses Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I'll ask each of the three questions on science in turn. So, Jaya, would you like the first or second set?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'll go first, please.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53Which term means the bending of a ray of light when it passes from one medium to another?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I know it's not diffraction, and pretty sure it's not infraction
0:09:03 > 0:09:06so I'm going to go with refraction.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Refraction is correct.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Hi, Judith.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Hello. You're up against a scientist in Science here. I know.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16So you're well covered.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22The molecules of chemical compounds known as acids contain at least one atom of which element?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Ah!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think that is Oxygen.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Oxygen, you think. Eggitors?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's Hydrogen. Hydrogen!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41They all say it as if we should all know that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I know, but they... It may be sort of common knowledge to them.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well they're dealing with hydrogen the whole time. Sorry, Judith.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Jaya, which word do mathematicians use to denote two triangles
0:09:55 > 0:10:01that are identical in shape and size, but may differ in orientation?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Um...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Connective doesn't sound
0:10:17 > 0:10:20like it would be the right answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25I'm going to go purely with a guess and go with Congruent.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You say Congruent. Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30There's a subdued whoop from your team.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You've got it right. Well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38You're not getting the break of the green here, Judith.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44No. The only molluscs that live on land belong to which taxonomic class?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47For goodness sake.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The only ones that live
0:10:54 > 0:10:57on land? I can't think of any molluscs that live on land.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59They all live in the sea.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02What, slugs and things like that, are molluscs, aren't they?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Oh, Gastropods.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08What? Gastropod just came to you? Yes. Where did it come from?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The depths.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11The depths of you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Good. They're on form, the depths of you have got it right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Gastropods is correct.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So if you get this right, Jaya,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26you're in the final round.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32Coryza is the technical medical term for which complaint?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Could I have it spelt?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Yeah. Coryza, C-O-R-Y-Z-A,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48is the technical, medical term for which complaint?
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Hmmm. I'm going to go with my gut instinct
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and pick Toothache.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03No. It's not Toothache, it's actually Head Cold.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08Considering how common the cold is, you'd think we'd have heard that before. Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14Judith, in botany, what term is used to denote a characteristic
0:12:14 > 0:12:20mode of growth and general external appearance of a plant?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I think that's Habit.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You're right, it is Habit, well done.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32So, after three questions, the scores are level, we go to sudden death.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37That means it's not multiple-choice, Jaya, and I will need the answer from you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43What two-word name is given to the classification of chemical elements by increasing atomic number
0:12:43 > 0:12:49in a series of rows such that those with similar chemical properties form groups?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I think it's periodic table.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Quite right.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Good answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02OK, your question, Judith, to stay in it,
0:13:02 > 0:13:10what is the geological term derived from the Latin for to dig for the remains of a once living
0:13:10 > 0:13:16organism generally more than 10,000 years old that's discovered in rock?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I should think that's probably fossil, because I imagine
0:13:20 > 0:13:27the Latin word for a ditch is foss or fosse or something, I think it's fossil.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Fossil is correct.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36Back to you, Jaya, which chemical compound has the formula WC?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Erm... I'm trying to go through the periodic table
0:13:42 > 0:13:46and see if I can mentally see it, but it's not working.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Oh, I don't know.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I can't think. I'm just great to make up a word now.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Walcyllium! No!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05That's... If I said right answer,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you'd die of shock! It was in fact tungsten carbide.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Why is it W?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14For tungsten. For Wolfram. That's the old name for tungsten.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK. What a stinker.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Judith, you have the round in your hands here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Which rocky archipelago, west of the Hebrides is home to two
0:14:23 > 0:14:28unique animal species, a field mouse and a wren,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33both of which are larger than the mainland equivalents?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Hmm.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36West of the Hebrides.
0:14:36 > 0:14:43I can only think of St Kilda, but that's not an archipelago.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Is that your answer? It'll have to be. It's correct.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48No! Yes!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No! I'm really amazed!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well done, Judith. Science has been beastly for Judith recently,
0:14:55 > 0:15:01so I'm going to congratulate an Egghead. Jaya, sorry, you won't be in the final round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Please both of you rejoin your teams.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09You can still win, challengers. You've lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost one brain from that
0:15:09 > 0:15:15crucial final round. Next subject is Film and Television. Who wants this?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Jay has gone, so it has to be Mark. Yeah. Are you all right doing that?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Yeah.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Against who?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Chris?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I think we should go with Chris.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33OK, I'll go against Chris.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Mark from the Eggitors against Chris from the Eggheads. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39please take your positions.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Mark, you also work at the publication? Yes.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And we've met before. Apparently so.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50I used to work at the Clapham Picture House, with your sister, and you came once and visited her.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I think it was a passing hello.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57When you say apparently so, you can't remember anything about it?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It could have been you or your brother. OK!
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'm going to stop this before it gets even more devastating.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Good luck, Mark. Good luck to Chris as well.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'll ask each of you three questions on Film and Television in turn,
0:16:10 > 0:16:15and Mark, you can choose the first or second set. I'll go first.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Who played the title role in the 1995 film, Batman Forever?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It wasn't Christian Bale.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32He did the more recent films.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Chris O'Donnell played Robin, so I'll go for Val Kilmer.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Val Kilmer is correct.
0:16:43 > 0:16:50Chris, who played Hannah in Woody Allen's 1986 comedy film, Hannah And Her Sisters?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00I was waiting for Diane Keaton to come up, because she's in most
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Woody Allen films. It wasn't Meryl Streep.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I don't think it was Barbara Hershey, I think it was Mia Farrow.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Mia Farrow is correct.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Mark, your question. The 1977 Christmas special of which TV comedy series featured
0:17:20 > 0:17:26one of the main characters not wanting to wear a paper hat because it's made out of the Daily Mirror?
0:17:33 > 0:17:41The only one I can think of where that might occur is On The Buses.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46No, it's not. I thought you were going to say the right answer when you used that logic. The Good Life.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48There's the class thing going on...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It must be Margot. It must be Margot!
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Your chance to take the lead, Chris. Most of the James Bond films
0:17:58 > 0:18:02have been made at which studio in south-east England?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've been there and seen the 007 stage, it's Pinewood.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You're right, Chris. It is.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Back to you, Mark. You need this to stay in the contest.
0:18:18 > 0:18:27Timothy, Joseph, Sam and Ben are the names of four brothers, all American film actors, with what surname?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Total guess here, Butts.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39No, the answer is surprising to me. Eggheads? Bottoms.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Bottoms is the correct answer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You've gone out where the answer was Bottoms.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47That's really embarrassing.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Sorry, Mark. Well done, Chris.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Mark, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54you'll not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Chris, you will. Please both of you come back to the studio.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The challengers have lost two brains from the final round, whilst the Eggheads
0:19:02 > 0:19:04have lost one brain.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Last subject is Arts and Books.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Which challenger wants this?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12What are we going to do, are we going to risk it?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'd say Donald.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18What if they're really good at it? But then general knowledge...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Conrad, you're better. Donald, then.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24We're going to say Donald.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I'm going to be the pitied one.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33I told some friends from home I'd take CJ on in the run-off, so I'll go with CJ.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Don from the Eggitors, against CJ from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Three questions on arts and books in turn. Don, you can choose the first or second set.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think I will go first.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Here we go. In a scholarly work, what name
0:19:52 > 0:19:59is given to the list of books that have been used as references, usually listed as an appendix?
0:20:04 > 0:20:10Well, Glossary is just lists of words so it's not Glossary.
0:20:10 > 0:20:17Index, that just tells you where in whatever you're reading certain topics appear.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So, I think I'll go for Bibliography.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Bibliography is quite right. Well done, first to you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25CJ, don't be nervous.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'll try not to be.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29In Shakespeare's Hamlet,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Ophelia is the daughter of which character?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Don't know. You know I've never read Shakespeare in my entire life.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Barry has got his head in his hands. Yes.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Ophelia
0:20:48 > 0:20:52is the daughter of Polonious.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59How did you do that? It's a blind guess.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Well done. Sorry, Don.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05That's cruel. That is cruel.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Somebody who boasts that they haven't read
0:21:07 > 0:21:12any Shakespeare shouldn't be allowed to get a question right like that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:19What is the name of the 1960s school of abstract art in which patterns and bright colours are used
0:21:19 > 0:21:24to create the impression that the image is flickering or vibrating?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Flickering or vibrating...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I guess that's kind of movement,
0:21:36 > 0:21:41kinetic means movement so, I'll go for Kinetic Art.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Kinetic Art,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'd have gone for that. Team mates?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Op Art. Is right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Not kinetic, Don.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Back to you, CJ.
0:21:55 > 0:22:02Robinsonade is the literary term for a work of fiction set typically in what location?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'd have to go for a desert island.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Because?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Because, it sounds like an author who's set a few books on a desert island.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Quite right, it is Desert Island. Well done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So we know what happens now, Don.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You've got to get this one right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33The term plagiarism is derived from the Latin word for which crime?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41If I get this wrong I'm going to go mental, we get
0:22:41 > 0:22:46warned about plagiarism when we're editing at work, when you
0:22:46 > 0:22:49copy someone else's work without citing them.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51So, I'm praying that it's Piracy.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Is it Piracy?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I get your logic totally, but it's Kidnapping. Oh, man!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You kidnap somebody else's work.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Don, sorry, you were beaten by CJ. No way back in this round.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07CJ, you'll be in the final and Don, you won't.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14This is what we've been playing towards - the final round
0:23:14 > 0:23:16which is General Knowledge.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27Don, Jaya and Mark from the Eggitors and Barry from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Conrad and Livia, it's the big moment.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36You're playing to win the ?4,000.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41CJ, Daphne, Chris and Judith, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48This time, the questions are all general knowledge and you're allowed to confer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Eggitors, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Conrad, Livia, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We'll carry on the pattern and go first.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03A pattern
0:24:03 > 0:24:07that has served you well. Patrick Cox, born in Edmonton in Canada in 1963
0:24:07 > 0:24:09is a famous name in which industry?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16He makes men's suits.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Does he? Are you sure? Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20100%? 100%.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25OK, Livia seems to be really sure of herself so Fashion, we're going to go for.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Because he makes, what was it? Men's shoes and suits, I think.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Funny, I thought I heard you say men's soups.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36And I thought, oh, my goodness, they're going for food.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Fashion is correct. You're absolutely right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:45Eggheads, what was the name of the nanny of Princes William and Harry,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48who joined the Royal Household in 1993?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It was Tiggy Legge-Bourke.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05That's the correct answer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Your next question, Eggitors.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13According to the authorised version of the Bible, after 40 days and 40 nights of rain,
0:25:13 > 0:25:18which bird did Noah send forth from the Ark prior to the dove?
0:25:24 > 0:25:29It's definitely Raven, because in a quiz that we did recently,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I remember it being a raven, I said dove.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK. But it was actually Raven.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36It's Raven.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And it does say prior to the dove in the question.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Raven is correct.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48The name of the Parthenon, the great temple
0:25:48 > 0:25:53on the Acropolis of Athens comes from the Greek word for what?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It's Virgin.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Virgin is correct. So...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15get this one right, you keep the pressure on them, big time.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20The consonants F and V in their normal pronunciations
0:26:20 > 0:26:25are classed by linguists as what type of sounds?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Labiodental means both the teeth and lips.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39F and V...
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Nasal is
0:26:41 > 0:26:44like the "ng",
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and a plosive is...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Can't remember what a plosive is.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I think Labiodentals,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55because your lips are touching your teeth. I'll go with that.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think, because
0:26:58 > 0:27:04labiodental means lips and teeth, we're going to go for Labiodentals.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You sound very uncertain.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Despite your uncertainty, I can tell you you're right. Yes!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17The logic was perfect as well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Eggheads, if you get this wrong,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22then you've lost.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Which familiar word is derived from a legal term in the late
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Middle Ages for somebody who took bribes from both sides?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Binocular is both eyes, ambidextrous is both handed.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Duplicate from duplicity, both sides. Exactly.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Yes. We think Duplicate.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I think that's the most likely out of the three.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We think it's Duplicate.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Duplicate. I'm just casting a glance at Barry here.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Barry thinks you're right.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's Ambidextrous, Eggheads.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well done, challengers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07You've just won ?4,000.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Eggheads, what happened? You just came in...
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Ambidextrous just seems too obvious for the definition. What would you've gone for?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24We'd have gone for Ambidextrous, I think. Well, you've just won ?4000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28We're getting closer to the loft apartment. One step. Slightly!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Really well done.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You're officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Join us next time on Eggheads, to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Until then, goodbye.
