0:00:05 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:28 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well known.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35As they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today

0:00:40 > 0:00:42are Extremely Well Red.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team of friends and family take their name from their love

0:00:46 > 0:00:48of football teams that play in red.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Trouble is, three of them support Liverpool,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53whilst the other two support Manchester United. Let's meet them.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Niall. I'm 47.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm an IT contractor.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Hugh. I'm 38 and I'm an accountant.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Austin. I'm 38 and I'm an IT project manager.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hiya, I'm Sean. I'm 38 and I'm a teacher.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 53 and a science teacher.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Niall, welcome to you and your colleagues.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16And football supporters and friends?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19That's right, yes. And identical twin brothers here?

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Twin brothers, yes. Right, yes. I won't ask how you met each other.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Long time ago. Since birth. So, how do you all get together?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Well, obviously Hugh, Austin and myself are brothers.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34And Sean was at school with Hugh and Austin. And Andy and I met in 1987

0:01:34 > 0:01:37when we did Krypton Factor together.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42We've kept in touch since then. We've done two quiz shows together since then. This is our third time.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44You get the chance to see football live, or not?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Not very often live, no.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49But occasionally we get across. I've been to Anfield a few times.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51We try and get over once a year.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54I wish your teams well. Thank you. Good luck in the game today.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day there's ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Extremely Well Red,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07the challengers won the last game, proving it can be done.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11That means ?1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15And first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Who wants this?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Nobody, actually. Nobody wants this one.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Anybody fancy this one?

0:02:24 > 0:02:29I'll give it a go, yeah? Did I hear somebody say they did history once? That was me.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Sean, do you like this one? Fair enough. It's up to you.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I could do it. Yeah, want to try that one? OK.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39OK. Sean is going to play History. OK, against?

0:02:39 > 0:02:40And think try Daphne?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42We'll try Daphne, then.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Daphne. Daphne. We'll try Daphne against Sean, please.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48OK. So, it is Sean against Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on History in turn.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Whoever answer the most questions correctly is the winner.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Are you ready, Sean? I'm ready. Your choice. Would you like to go first or second

0:03:04 > 0:03:05First, please.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Which man, born in 1869, famously gave a speech

0:03:12 > 0:03:16in which he announced he had achieved peace for our time?

0:03:21 > 0:03:241869.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29That would put them at 70, around the time of World War II.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I, I don't think it was Chamberlain.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Churchill could be a good guess.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47George VI, I'm not quite sure why he would have felt that.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Something's nagging me about Chamberlain, though.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm going to go with Winston Churchill. OK.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Peace for our time was actually Neville Chamberlain.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07And it was on the occasion of...

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Barry, you will know this immediately.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10It was coming back from the Munich Agreement

0:04:10 > 0:04:12that split up Czechoslovakia

0:04:12 > 0:04:15and gave the Sudetenland to the Germans.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19So, he waved a bit of paper and said it's all right, and it wasn't?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21That's about it, yes. 1938.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Daphne, your question.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28The Covenanter, the Matilda and the Challenger

0:04:28 > 0:04:33were all types of which British military vehicle in Word War II?

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Well, the Challenger was a tank.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44So, I assume the other two were as well. Tank.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Tank is correct.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Need to make up ground now, Sean.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Which ancient battle resulted in

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Constantine the Great becoming Roman Emperor?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11I haven't heard of any of them.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16But I'm going to have to make a judgement.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21On the basis that it's got a "PH" in it I'm going to go with Pharsalus.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25That's wrong I'm afraid, it's Milvian Bridge. Tough question.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30Daphne, over to you. If you get this right you've taken the round.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33What name was given to the Moderate Republican Faction,

0:05:33 > 0:05:35active in the French Revolution,

0:05:35 > 0:05:39and led by Jacques Pierre Brissot

0:05:39 > 0:05:43and Jean-Marie Roland de la Platiere?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well...erm...

0:05:59 > 0:06:01We have a saying.

0:06:01 > 0:06:07If you've only heard of one of them, that must be the right answer.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10So, hopefully it's the Girondins.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13The Girondins. Is she right?

0:06:13 > 0:06:14I don't know.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah. She's right.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Daphne, well done to you.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Because with two questions gone, there's no way back for Sean.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Sean. You won't be able to join your team in the final round.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Please both of you come back to the studio.

0:06:29 > 0:06:35As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Our next subject is Music.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Which of you wants this?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I think you should do that one, yeah?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's one of the easier ones.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Me, sorry? OK, Austin.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52I think Chris would be the best one for this. I suggest Chris. Happy with that?

0:06:52 > 0:06:57We'd like to see how Chris has improved his knowledge of the more recent pop culture.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01So, it's Austin from Extremely Well Red versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05And to ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Three questions on Music, in turn. Austin, you can ask for the first or second set.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Which Petula Clark song includes the lyrics,

0:07:17 > 0:07:21"Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,

0:07:21 > 0:07:24"linger on the sidewalk where the neon sides are pretty,

0:07:24 > 0:07:26"how can you lose?"

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well, the Petula Clark...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm not sure of the other songs.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42But the one I definitely know, from those lyrics, would be Downtown.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44And you're right. Chris...

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Chris, the singer Jesse Norman is most commonly associated with which type of music?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Jesse Norman. She's an opera singer.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58She is indeed.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Over to you, Austin.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Allan White, Tony McCarroll and Chris Sharrock

0:08:03 > 0:08:08are all best known for playing which instrument with the band Oasis

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Obviously I know the Gallagher brothers from that band.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Those names don't ring a bell at all.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28So, it's just going to have to be a guess.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32I thought one of the Gallagher brothers played guitar...

0:08:33 > 0:08:36..bass guitar, lead guitar, I'm not sure.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39I think it'll be a total guess.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Let's go for drums. Anyone know on the Eggheads side?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think that's right. I'd have gone for bass.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Kevin? I think, I think that's right, isn't it... drums?

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Yeah, drums. Kevin confirms it's drums. Thanks, Kevin.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56In which year, Chris, is the musical Miss Saigon set?

0:09:01 > 0:09:05It's the fall of Saigon, isn't it? At the end of the Vietnam war.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07So, it's 1975.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Quite right. Two points each.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Tight round on Music. Back to you, Austin.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Which singer-songwriter famously said of his time

0:09:15 > 0:09:20as a middle-of-the-road artist that, "Travelling there soon became a bore

0:09:20 > 0:09:22"so I headed for the ditch...

0:09:22 > 0:09:25"A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there."

0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'm just thinking about the words, middle of the road.

0:09:34 > 0:09:40Because, obviously, Paul Simon had a quite a successful pop...

0:09:40 > 0:09:43success with Art Garfunkel.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Tom Petty...

0:09:46 > 0:09:49had his success with The Heartbreakers, and stuff.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54And I know Neil Young's done collaborations with other people.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58But just based on the middle-of-the-road comment,

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'd probably go towards Neil Young.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Is right.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Neil Young it is.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Chris, to stay in the round.

0:10:07 > 0:10:13What operatic term is given to the expressive device in which one note

0:10:13 > 0:10:15is carried to the next by a slide,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18without any interruption of tone production?

0:10:25 > 0:10:31Well, coloratura is sort of timbre of voice.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Sort of between mezzo and soprano, isn't it?

0:10:33 > 0:10:37A coloratura, a soprano. She's... well, it's literally coloured.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's, yeah, in between mezzo and soprano.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Squilo, I haven't got a clue what squilo is.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46But portamento, it's got that sense of carrying the note over.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49So, I'll say portamento.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50And portamento is quite right.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53So, three points a piece after three questions. Well done.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55And we go to Sudden Death.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Gets a bit harder. Not multiple choice now, Austin.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03John Frusciante and Anthony Kiedis are members of which American band?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Names mean absolutely nothing to me.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11So, I'm just trying to think - are they just on their own?

0:11:11 > 0:11:16Are they just a duo? I'm just trying to think which duos American groups would have.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I've got to think about this one.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33I've no idea. I'm not even going to say a duo.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35So, I'll just say Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's a complete guess.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, your brother thinks you're right.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40And you are.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42No way!

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done. Chris, to stay in it.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Which band leader, known as the 20th Century Gabriel,

0:11:48 > 0:11:52is best known for the hit song Tuxedo Junction?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Tuxedo Junction.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I know the song.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06The only name that's coming through is Benny Goodman. I think he played the clarinet.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, it wouldn't be the 20th Century Gabriel.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13The Gabriel plays a trumpet, so...

0:12:13 > 0:12:18Well, the big band of that swing era was Paul White.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21But I don't think it was him, either.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25It's not Glenn Miller.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35No, it is pounding away insistently that it was Benny Goodman. So, I'll say Benny Goodman.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Benny Goodman is wrong.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Erskine Hawkins is the answer.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45So, Chris, sorry you're out. And well done, Austin. You took on an Egghead.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Emerged triumphant. Good news for our challengers.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52It means Austin will be able to join them in today's final round.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Both of you, come back to your teams.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have also lost one.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Our next subject is Geography. So, who wants Geography?

0:13:06 > 0:13:12I'll take that. Andy's one of our more, more travelled team members. So, he'll wants a go on Geography.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Andy against?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Let's try Barry, shall we?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Let's try Barry. OK.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21So, Andy from Extremely Well Red versus Barry from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26So, three questions on Geography, in turn.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Andy, you can choose first or second set. I'd like to go first, please.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Here's your question. Exmoor National Park

0:13:35 > 0:13:38straddles which two counties?

0:13:45 > 0:13:49I was brought up in Somerset, Central Somerset.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51And Exmoor is mainly in Devon

0:13:51 > 0:13:56but parts of it extends into West Somerset. So, Somerset and Devon.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Quite right. You've been there.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00You've seen it. You know.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Barry, which US city does McCarran International Airport serve?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's Las Vegas.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Correct. Well done.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK, over to you, Andy.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Through how many African countries does the Greenwich Meridian pass?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Two, five or ten.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Well, Africa is...

0:14:26 > 0:14:28well, I think the Greenwich Meridian passes through

0:14:28 > 0:14:30the western part of Africa.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Rather than sort of down through the central parts.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34So, I don't think it's ten.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41It's a case whether is passes through the small countries

0:14:41 > 0:14:43like Togo and Mali.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45So, between two and five...

0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'm going to go for five.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Good logic, you're right as well.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53Back to you, Barry.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Dzongkha, spelt

0:14:56 > 0:15:00D, Z, O, N, G, K, H, A is the official language of which country?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Well, it's unlikely to be Macau.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Because that's likely to be either Portuguese or Chinese.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15Brunei will probably Malaysian or something similar.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17But Dzongkha is actually the language of Bhutan.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21You're right. It is the Bhutanese language.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25OK, Andy, your third question to press the advantage.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Franz Josef Land is an Arctic territory of which country?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's not a person I've heard of.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39It doesn't sound as if it's a Russian name.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Doesn't sound that Norwegian, either.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46So, between Norway and Canada...

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Difficult.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57I'm going to try Norway.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00No. It's Russia.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02So, Barry, your chance.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Into which body of water does the River Niger flow?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Well, the River Niger is in the west of Africa.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17And it flows through various African countries.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22Such as Niger, possibly Mali. And it flows into the Gulf of Guinea.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Quite right. It does.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well done, Barry. Andy, I'm afraid you were beaten by our Egghead.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29It was tight at the end.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33As a result, Andy, you can't join your team in the final round.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38Barry, you will be there in the final. Please both of you come back and rejoin us.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41So, as it stands the challengers have now lost

0:16:41 > 0:16:45two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Our last subject is Sport.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49I reckon you will fancy this.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53I just... it's something about your team. From the team name, maybe

0:16:55 > 0:16:59Who wants it? It's between myself and Niall.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04I think I'll give it a go, please, Jeremy. Hugh, OK. Against Judith or Kevin?

0:17:04 > 0:17:08I think we'll just keep the logic going. Going from right to left we'll pick Judith.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Right. Hugh from Extremely Well Red against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Let's see how we go. Three questions on Sport in turn.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23And, Hugh, you can choose the first or second set.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26I think I will be polite and say ladies first.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Judith, how old was Lewis Hamilton

0:17:31 > 0:17:36when he won the 2008 Formula 1 World Championship?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I think he was... 23 came into my mind.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45So, I think it's 23.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Before... 23 came into my mind before that came up. So, 23.

0:17:49 > 0:17:5223's right.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53Hugh, your question.

0:17:53 > 0:18:01In which stadium was the Greyhound Derby held for many years, before it was switched to Wimbledon in 1985?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Dog racing.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm trying to remember the...

0:18:14 > 0:18:16greyhound racing.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20We did have a track in Belfast one time. But that's long closed.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23And it's not one of the choices.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Wembley is sticking out in my mind for some reason.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28I don't think it's Highbury.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33I'm going to go for Wembley, please, Jeremy.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37That's the wrong answer. The answer is White City.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Judith, in the acronym RICE...

0:18:39 > 0:18:40R, I, C, E...

0:18:40 > 0:18:44used by sport physiotherapists as a guide to treat sports injuries,

0:18:44 > 0:18:47for what does the letter C stand?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I wouldn't think it's composure.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Because that's kind of mental.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00I have no idea what it stands for.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02What could it stand for?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Actually, probably compression.

0:19:06 > 0:19:13Compression is your answer. Let's check with the Extremely Well Reds.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Yes, we agree. They do unfortunately agree with you. You're right.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Rest, Ice, Compression, Exercise?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Elevation. Elevation, yup.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Elevation.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25What is it?

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Doesn't sound like it would work to me but it's obviously been

0:19:32 > 0:19:34tried over a period of centuries.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Hugh, your question.

0:19:36 > 0:19:41In which sport might you use the techniques drifting and heel to toe?

0:19:46 > 0:19:51Well, I can't see it applying to rallying.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Hockey, it's possible. I'm thinking of techniques here.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02So, I'm going to go for weightlifting, Jeremy.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05It is actually rallying.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08The answer is rallying. I'm afraid there's no way back here for you.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11So, Judith has won on Sport which...

0:20:11 > 0:20:14yeah, what about that?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You've made her very happy, anyway.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19She'll be in the final round. Hugh, I'm sorry you won't.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Please both of you rejoin your teams.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24This is what we've been playing towards.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's time for the final round which is General Knowledge.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads

0:20:30 > 0:20:31won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35So, Hugh, Sean and Andy from Extremely Well Red

0:20:35 > 0:20:37and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Niall and Austin, you are playing to win Extremely Well Red ?1,000.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46You have the non-twin brothers here, right?

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Yes.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Daphne, Barry, Judith and Kevin,

0:20:49 > 0:20:53you are playing for something which money can't buy - The Egghead's reputation.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:20:59 > 0:21:04So, Extremely Well Red, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Niall and Austin, would you like to go first or second?

0:21:07 > 0:21:08First probably, yeah?

0:21:08 > 0:21:09We'll go first, please.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Best of luck.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17In the original standard version of the board game Trivial Pursuit,

0:21:17 > 0:21:22what colour represents the Science and Nature category?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28From memory pink is Entertainment.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Pink is Entertainment, OK yeah.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Is yellow History?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Probably. Green, green, green's nature.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Sort of stands for nature, green grass.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yeah, sort of makes sense. Rings a bell.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I can't remember what yellow is. I think yellow's History. Yeah.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45I thought it was green or brown before the answers came up.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47I thought it was brown, then...

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Happy with green? I think we'll have to go for green then, yeah.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52We'll go with green. Green is right.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Green is right.

0:21:54 > 0:22:00Eggheads, the malamute is a breed of dog native to which American state?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Alaska.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Alaska. Yeah, it's a husky. Yes.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's like, it's like a husky.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12So, used in sledding and that sort of thing. So, Alaska.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Alaska is your answer and it's correct.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17They won't be beaten that easily.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22Extremely Well Red, which American TV award consists

0:22:22 > 0:22:28of a winged woman statuette with outstretched arms holding an atom?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Well, Grammy's for music. So we can rule that one out.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36This is television.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Peabody I haven't actually heard of.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Not in relation to television, no.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42There's nothing else.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Emmy certainly is a television award. Emmy is, yeah, the dominant.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52On that basis. Out of those we have to go to Emmy, I think.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55We know it's not Grammy. We're not sure what Peabody is.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56We're going to go with Emmy.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Going with Emmy? Correct answer, well done.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Back to you, Eggheads.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06The town of Bassano in the Veneto region of Italy

0:23:06 > 0:23:08is famous for which alcoholic drink?

0:23:15 > 0:23:17I been there and had it.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Oh, been there, drunk it, had the hangover.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25Been there, drunk it basically. Yeah, it's grappa.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Grappa is the correct answer. Well done, Eggheads.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Third question now.

0:23:30 > 0:23:37Ask and Embla are the first humans created by the gods

0:23:37 > 0:23:38in which mythology?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Let's think about this. Norse?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Possibly. It doesn't sound Hindu.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52Just the, the sound of the words and spelling doesn't sound Hindu.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Definitely not, no.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Polynesian, I think they're very similar to Hawaiian languages which.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02With a lot of vowels and stuff. And it's a very small...

0:24:02 > 0:24:05The Hawaiian language has something like 13 letters.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's very small. That's right, yeah. Selection of the consonants.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11I don't think it sounds Polynesian.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Happy with Norse? Out of those three, I'd be more comfortable with Norse.

0:24:15 > 0:24:22We're not very sure but by process of elimination we think it's Norse.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Well done. You're right.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28Norse is correct. I know that was a stressful one for you. It was.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29So, Eggheads.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33The former US Deputy Secretary of Defence, Paul Wolfowitz,

0:24:33 > 0:24:40was forced to resign as president of which organisation in 2007?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47World Bank, yeah.

0:24:47 > 0:24:52Yes, he had rather a torrid tenure at the World Bank.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54He did indeed. The World Bank is correct.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57OK, so we're equal at the end of the multiple choice stage.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59It gets harder now.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01We go to Sudden Death.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I need the answer from you.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07Which English word, meaning an ancestral line or breed,

0:25:07 > 0:25:10comes from the French for crane's foot,

0:25:10 > 0:25:15referring to the lines used to connect people on a family tree?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Crane's foot. Well, foot in French is pied.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21And pedigree starts with ped.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Could be. Any idea what the French for crane would be?

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Ped surely has a French connection with foot.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36"Digree" could be a bird.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Perhaps, yeah. Happy enough with that?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42We're going to try pedigree. Pedigree.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Pedigree is correct. Well done. Well done.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Eggheads, this to stay in it.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Which extreme pursuit,

0:25:49 > 0:25:53started as a business by AJ Hackett

0:25:53 > 0:25:57at the Kawarau Bridge in New Zealand,

0:25:57 > 0:26:00celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Bungee jumping, yeah?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06That's bungee jumping, Jeremy. Bungee jumping is quite right.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Extremely Well Red, here we go.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Next question. Sudden Death.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17What is the name of the 109-mile trail, opened in 1969,

0:26:17 > 0:26:23that stretches from the market town of Helmsley through the North York Moors to the coast at Filey?

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Trying to think where they...

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Don't know where Helmsley is!

0:26:29 > 0:26:33I'm guessing Helmsley is in England, yeah?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35It does narrow it down.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yeah. OK, the Northern Hemisphere, possibly England.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43The only thing that's coming to mind is the Pennine Way. Isn't that the name of it?

0:26:43 > 0:26:47The Pennine Way? Yes. Which I'm guessing goes through the Yorkshire Moors.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Because it's the Pennine...

0:26:49 > 0:26:51So...

0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's as good a guess as any.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Can't think of anything else.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Certainly be in that area. For that length, 109 miles.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's quite a long stretch. Go with that?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03I think so, yeah, yeah. Pennine Way.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07It's not the Pennine Way. It's the Cleveland Way.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Half a point.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12That means, Eggheads, if you get this right you've won.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15But you haven't got it right yet.

0:27:15 > 0:27:21The Great Court Run, as famously featured in the 1981 film Chariots Of Fire,

0:27:21 > 0:27:25is an attempt to run around the court of which Cambridge college

0:27:25 > 0:27:29in the time it takes for the clock to strike 12?

0:27:29 > 0:27:34I think it's Trinity. Think it's Trinity. Yeah, it's Trinity.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36OK? No other candidates?

0:27:36 > 0:27:39That's the thing that came into my head.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's the Cambridge college you want, Jeremy? Sorry, just to clarify.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Attempt to run round the court of which Cambridge college?

0:27:45 > 0:27:46We think it's Trinity.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Trinity College is the correct answer. Well done.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59Bad luck to our challengers. Have you enjoyed the day?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Definitely, yes. Great time. Been great to have you all.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07And they reign supreme over quizland once again.

0:28:07 > 0:28:13You won't be going home with the ?1,000. Which means that the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you?

0:28:15 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23?2,000 says they don't.

0:28:23 > 0:28:24Till then, goodbye.
