0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:20The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows - the Eggheads!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are The Wise Owls.
0:00:41 > 0:00:48This team all work for the same conservation trust to protect the natural heritage of Sussex.
0:00:48 > 0:00:55- Let's meet them.- Hello. I'm Nigel, I'm 49 and I'm Education Manager at the trust.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm Renzo, I'm 45, and I'm a Forest School leader.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. My name's Elli, I'm 26 and a photo library assistant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. My name's Jon, I'm 60 and I'm a business manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hi. I'm Bryan, I'm 71 and I'm a caretaker.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17Welcome to you, Wise Owls. It wouldn't take three guesses to work out why you have that name.
0:01:17 > 0:01:25When we got the invitation to come on Eggheads, we'd just heard that the owls were back in their nest box
0:01:25 > 0:01:30on our headquarters reserve at Henfield, Woods Mill.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Tell me more about your work.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38When we talk about wildlife, it's a very broad spectrum here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We're concerned with the whole of Sussex, preserving the habitats.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47We say enjoy, understand and take action for wildlife in Sussex.
0:01:47 > 0:01:54Fantastic slogan. Enjoy, understand and take action. Do that against the Eggheads!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59And hopefully win the money. Let me tell you what's been happening.
0:01:59 > 0:02:06Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10So, Wise Owls, the Eggheads have won the last 36 games,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15so £37,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21Our first head-to-head battle, the first attempt to knock an Egghead out is on Food and Drink.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Who likes that?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Shall we have Bryan? Yes, Bryan.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And who would you like to play?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Oh, shall we go for Kevin? Yes, we'll try Kevin.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38The old one-two - Kevin and Food and Drink!
0:02:38 > 0:02:44But this is Kevin's first appearance since his quiz credentials have become even more formidable.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Tell us what you've won, Kevin.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- I just got the World Championship back again, so... - Oh, well done!- Well done.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00So apart from the Mastermind victories, the Brain of Britain,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04he is now the four-times World Quiz Champion.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Congratulations to you. A chance to knock the four-times World Quiz Champion out, Bryan.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Both please go to the question room.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- So, Bryan, first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:22 > 0:03:29What name is given to a light breakfast consisting of coffee or tea, bread rolls or croissants?
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Right. Well, I believe English breakfast is considerably heavier than that.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Em, and... as is all-day breakfast.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49So I'll go for continental breakfast.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It is the right answer, of course.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Over to you, Kevin.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00What type of restaurant would be most likely to have naan bread on its menu?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Even I'll manage that one. Indian.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- You have a permanent reservation at your local.- Not on a regular basis.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14An Indian restaurant. Correct. Back to you, Bryan.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20Which common kitchen ingredient has properties which allow it to be used as a means of powering
0:04:20 > 0:04:22specially converted cars?
0:04:24 > 0:04:30Well, the thought of cars running on honey fills me with a certain amount of surprise!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And I can't see flour powering...
0:04:34 > 0:04:41But there has been a lot of interest lately in vegetable oil. I'll go for vegetable oil.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Vegetable oil is correct.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Kevin...
0:04:45 > 0:04:52What is the English translation of the Italian phrase "al dente", used as a term when cooking pasta?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- D-E-N-T-E? - D-E-N-T-E. Al dente.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It's literally "to the tooth", a nice, firm texture.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06To the tooth. Hence the "dent" bit.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Right answer. Two-all.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, third question apiece.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Bryan, the city of Pilsen, which gives its name to the pale lager
0:05:15 > 0:05:19known as Pilsener is in which country?
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Are you partial to a lager or is it more bitter round in Sussex?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28It is more bitter, but I'm partial to lager as well.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I don't believe Pilsen is in Hungary or Austria.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I think the Czech Republic.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Pilsener lager. The town in question is in the Czech Republic.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Well done. Three out of three. Well, Kevin,
0:05:46 > 0:05:52you've got to get this. In what capacity are Charles Campion and Kate Spicer famous
0:05:52 > 0:05:55in the food and drink industry?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I can't say either name rings a bell.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I don't know it, so I shall go for critics.- OK.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- A guess?- Yeah. - You've got it. It is correct.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18All square.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22We go to sudden death. We're removing the choices,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27just to make it an awful lot harder and to sort out a winner.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29This is your question.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34What is the minimum age requirement for purchasing alcohol in the United States?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, I believe that it's...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45..more, if you like, draconian than over here.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And...
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Something in the back of my mind suggests it may be 21.
0:06:53 > 0:07:01- 21? Is that your answer?- Yes, 21. - OK, going for 21 to purchase alcohol in the United States.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's the right answer. Well done.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So, Kevin,
0:07:06 > 0:07:12the village of Stilton, which gave its name to the blue cheese, is in which English county?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16It's near a county border, so, um...
0:07:16 > 0:07:21I'm a bit torn here between Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Leicestershire.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Leicestershire?- Mm.- You were torn between that and...- Cambridgeshire.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Is it Cambridgeshire?- Yeah. - There you go.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Bryan, you're in the final round!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41And exit stage left the World Quiz Champion.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Both please come back and join your teams.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51So the Wise Owls proving wiser than the Eggheads in those opening exchanges.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54The Eggheads are missing one brain.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Our second head-to-head coming up.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's Music. Who'd like to play?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Jon?- I don't mind. - Yeah, go on!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Who's going to play?- Jon. - OK, who would you like to play?
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Judith.- Jon and Judith, then, to play Music.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Both please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Jon, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Good stuff. It's Music.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30"Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, it's home from work we go..."
0:08:30 > 0:08:34is a line from a song used in which Disney animation?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Well, I...I don't think it's Bambi.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I really don't know very much about Beauty and the Beast,
0:08:48 > 0:08:53but I have seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I think it's that one.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57You think - you know. It is the right answer.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho" is in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Judith, which member of Girls Aloud has the maiden name Tweedy?
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- Uh. I have absolutely not the faintest idea.- Chris is grinning!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17"Thank goodness I didn't get that!"
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Well, Cheryl I know is married, isn't she? She's Cheryl Cole.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Whether the other two are married or not, I have no idea.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Since the Cheryl's the one that's married, I'll go for her.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Cheryl Cole, previously Tweedy. Well done.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK, back to you then, John.
0:09:36 > 0:09:43Who had a UK number one hit single in 1982 with the song I Don't Wanna Dance?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well...Lionel Richie, um...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54No, I don't think it was him.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Probably Eddy Grant, marginally more than it is Labi Siffre.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So I'm going for Eddy Grant.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Eddy Grant didn't wanna dance in 1982. You are correct. Well done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Your second question, Judith.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13How does one normally play the musical instrument the dulcimer?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Um...
0:10:25 > 0:10:31- I think you hammer its strings. I don't...- Why are you laughing?!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well, why do you think?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think you...
0:10:36 > 0:10:41..you hammer its strings, before I burst into tears.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46You're taking these options too literally!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I'm terribly sorry! I really am crying now.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Judith! It's a new side of you I'm seeing.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Right. How does one normally play the musical instrument the dulcimer?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- What do you think, Judith? - You hammer its strings.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I think so, too! Correct. Well done, Judith.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Hammering its strings. OK, it's all square. Two-all.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And the next question is yours, Jon.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Florian Schneider and Ralf Hutter were founding members
0:11:21 > 0:11:26of which influential German electronic music group?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Right. Well, I can't say that I've heard of Can before.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Tangerine Dream I have heard of,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41but I can't say whether they were electronic.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- But Kraftwerk I know were electronic, so I'm going with Kraftwerk.- OK.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's the right answer. Well done.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53So you're in the driving seat and Judith has to get this.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59Which jazz legend had a backing band called The Red Hot Peppers?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I don't somehow think it's Duke Ellington. Doesn't seem to suit him.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I think it might be Hoagy Carmichael.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Shaking the heads here. Eggheads?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Jelly Roll Morton.- Oh!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Another Wise owl is through.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Jon, you'll be playing in the final round today for £37,000.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well, Wise Owls doing really well.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Two Eggheads gone. You haven't lost any of you from the final round.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Can you make it a third Egghead? Our next head-to-head is History.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Who'd like to play?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Nigel?- Yeah. I'll take History.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57You seem very keen for that. Who would you like to play - Pat, Barry or Chris?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Maybe Pat? Shall we try Pat?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- OK, we'll try Pat. - The new Egghead?
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- See what he's like.- Tell us about History. Favourite subject of yours?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- I'm not sure I shall say. - Make them find out!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Can you both please take your positions in the question room?
0:13:19 > 0:13:26- Nigel, first or second? - I think the others have been doing fine going first, so I'll try that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30OK, good luck, Nigel. Here's your first question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:37What was the name of the child born in 1801, believed to be the illegitimate daughter of Nelson
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and Lady Emma Hamilton?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Right. Well, I can't say I know for certain.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I don't know whether Horatia may be a bit of a red herring
0:13:52 > 0:13:54because of Horatio,
0:13:54 > 0:14:01but since I've not heard of either Constantia or Dorothea, I'll try Horatia.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It's the right answer. Well done.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08And, Pat...
0:14:08 > 0:14:14Who was Queen Elizabeth II's paternal grandmother, who married the future King George V
0:14:14 > 0:14:15in 1893?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Ah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26It's not Queen Elizabeth. She's safely in the 16th century.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31It's Queen Elizabeth II's father's... George VI's mother.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I think it was Queen Mary.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Or was he married to Queen Mary?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Was he married to Queen Mary? Then it would be Queen Adelaide.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yes, Queen Mary...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51No, the Queen Mother was Queen Elizabeth. It's Queen Mary.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'll go with Queen Mary.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57A bit of confusion in there, but you've got it right, yes.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Queen Mary. It's one-all.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Second question each.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08What name was given to the impromptu exchange of opinions between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev
0:15:08 > 0:15:11at an exhibition in Moscow in 1959?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Right. An exhibition in Moscow.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22They could have been holding the exhibition in the garden.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I don't think they'd be holding it in the kitchen.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32And whether it was... whether it had something to do with the topic of the bedroom,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I don't know.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41I think I'm going to go for garden in the hope that it was an exhibition in the garden,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- but I don't really know. - Was it the garden debate, Eggheads?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Kitchen.- Kitchen debate, Nigel. Sorry about that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Sorry.- Kitchen debate.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53A chance for Pat to take the lead.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Which future British Prime Minister's reputation was damaged
0:15:58 > 0:16:04when he was accused of insider dealing in the so-called Marconi Scandal of 1912 and 1913?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm not sure about this.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Lloyd George had an unfortunate habit of attracting various scandals.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25I'm not sure of the answer, but I'll go for David Lloyd George on the basis he was scandal prone.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29It is the right answer, so you have the lead.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33You've got to get this, Nigel, to keep the round alive.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39Which English king was responsible for the Eleanor Crosses, a series of elaborate monuments,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42erected in memory of his wife?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Right...
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Em...I'm fairly sure it's not King John.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I know that either Edward or Henry
0:16:54 > 0:17:00was, I believe, married to Eleanor of Aquitaine. I've a strong feeling
0:17:00 > 0:17:04that was the question that won Judith her million,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06but it was some years ago now.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I'm going to go for Henry III and Judith can tell me if it's right.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17Judith, it's not worth a million, but it was a version of this that won you the big money.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Henry II was married to her.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Oh, I see.- And it was Edward I who did the crosses for his wife
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- who I think was Eleanor of Castile. - So a lot of Eleanors around.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Too many Eleanors and before that there were too many Matildas.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Not Henry III as you may have heard, Nigel. It was Edward I.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47So the first Wise Owl will depart the game and that's you, Nigel.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Both please come back and join your teams.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57The Wise Owls have lost their first brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost Judith and Kevin.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Our last head-to-head now and this one is Arts and Books.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Two eligible Wise Owls remain.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Who wants to take this on?- Me? Elli will take this one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15OK, Elli, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Judith, Kevin and Pat have played.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- That leaves Barry and Chris. - I think Chris.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- She wants to go for Chris.- OK, Elli and Chris into the question room.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- Do you want to go first or second, Elli?- Em, I'll go first.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34All right. Good luck.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38What name is given to the section of the book, usually at the front,
0:18:38 > 0:18:43in which the author thanks everyone who helped in its production?
0:18:43 > 0:18:48OK, I don't think it's a synopsis. I think that would be at the end.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52And I'm pretty sure a glossary would be at the end as well.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59Acknowledgements makes you think they're thanking people, so I would say it's that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03That is correct. Yes. Well done. Chris,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08in the novel by Henry Williamson, what type of animal is Tarka?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12He's an otter! In Devon.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Tarka the Otter is correct.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Elli, here's your next question.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23In 2008, which artist announced the One and Other project
0:19:23 > 0:19:29which invited members of the public to stand on the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Oooh.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40I've heard of Antony Gormley. He does a lot of outdoors sculpture.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I don't think it's Steve McQueen,
0:19:43 > 0:19:49so my other guess would be Grayson Perry.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I'll go for Antony Gormley because he does outdoor things!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'm going to go for Antony Gormley.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Because he does "outdoor things"? - Yes.- A bit like the Wise Owls.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's right, yes. Well worked out.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Those scraps of information help.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Which English comic performer was nominated for a Tony Award in 1967
0:20:11 > 0:20:16for his role in the Broadway production Walking Happy?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yes...
0:20:24 > 0:20:31I don't think it was Benny Hill. I don't think he was ever on the Broadway stage.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37I don't quite see Norman Wisdom in anything that would appeal to the Tony committee.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I've an idea Bruce Forsyth did win a Tony,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- so I'll say Bruce Forsyth. - OK, Bruce Forsyth.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50No, that's the wrong answer. Norman Wisdom was nominated for a Tony
0:20:50 > 0:20:54in 1967 for Walking Happy.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00You could be quizzing happy, Elli. Who wrote the novel Psycho on which the Alfred Hitchcock film was based?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Oh, I've always seen the film,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11but I don't think it's Harlan Ellison
0:21:11 > 0:21:15as I haven't really heard of them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21So it's a pure guess between Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- I'm going to go for Robert Bloch.- OK.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28For writing Psycho.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34It's correct! You're through to the final round. Congratulations, Elli.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Bad luck, Chris. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44So this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46But those of you who lost
0:21:46 > 0:21:49your head-to-heads won't take part.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53So Nigel from the Wise Owls and Chris, Judith and Kevin
0:21:53 > 0:21:56would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:21:56 > 0:22:02So Renzo, Elli, Jon and Bryan, you're playing to win the Wise Owls £37,000.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14I'll ask each team three questions in turn. They are all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Wise Owls, are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:18 > 0:22:24- Wise Owls, would you like to go first or second? - Shall we continue with...?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- We'll go first.- First.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Let's see how you do.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Here's the opening question.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37What name is usually given to an amateur theatrical performance
0:22:37 > 0:22:41where the cast is made up largely of Scouts and Girl Guides?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It's not a clan show.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- A gang show?- Gang show.- Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Gang show.- It's the right answer.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well done. Good start. Eggheads,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03which character was played by Harrison Ford in the 1977 film Star Wars?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Han Solo?- Mark Hamill was Luke Skywalker.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17- And James Earl Jones did the voice of Darth Vader. - That lovely resonant voice.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- It was Han Solo.- Han Solo.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Correct, yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24One-each. Wise Owls,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26your second question.
0:23:26 > 0:23:34Which apparent aid to the regulation of traffic was invented by former rally driver Maurice Gatsonides
0:23:34 > 0:23:36in the 1950s?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- We had traffic lights before then. - Not satellites.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47And it's not traffic lights.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52They had traffic lights before then, but no satellites.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It must be speed cameras.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Speed cameras.- Speed cameras.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00There may be a bit of a clue -
0:24:00 > 0:24:03"apparent aid".
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Always controversial. Still are.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08The right answer - speed cameras.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So two to you. Well done.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Eggheads, Stanley Finch was the first director of which organisation
0:24:15 > 0:24:19which celebrated its centenary in 2008?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- The UN is just post- World War Two. - Yes, it's '45.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34So it's not celebrating a centenary. And the CIA was created from the OSS,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36again around World War Two.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41So the FBI, time-wise, seems the best option.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45That was my first thought. I have heard the name.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50He's not as well known as J Edgar Hoover, who followed him.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- The first two are post-WWII. - It must be the FBI.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It's the FBI. - The Federal Bureau of Investigation.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01You've got the right answer. All right, Wise Owls.
0:25:01 > 0:25:08Who was appointed Director of Elite Performance by the British Olympic Association
0:25:08 > 0:25:11in September 2006?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Steve Redgrave is, but much later.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Much later.- He's very recent.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Not Alex Ferguson.- No, no.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- 2006?- 2006.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I think it's Sir Clive Woodward.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34We think it's Sir Clive Woodward.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Was he appointed Director of Elite Performance in September, 2006? Yes!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Three to the Wise Owls.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Eggheads, you've got to get this.
0:25:43 > 0:25:51In the Marvel Comic series Fantastic Four, what is the superhero alter ego of Reed Richards?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm not at all sure.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02My first instinct is Human Torch, but I'm not very familiar with it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Unfortunately, they're all in the group.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09We can't knock any out.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14In the film, I think the Human Torch might be Ioan Gruffudd.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I'm pretty certain I would recognise the name of The Thing.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I have heard it once or twice.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- I think it is the Human Torch and Mr Fantastic.- I'm not confident.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- If you have a glimmer... - Slight inkling for Human Torch,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31but it could be Mr Fantastic.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35We might be lighting a bonfire for ourselves here,
0:26:35 > 0:26:40but we'll go for the Human Torch without any degree of confidence.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42OK, Reed Richards...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It's Mr Fantastic!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Which means, Wise Owls, you've won £37,000!
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- Oh, my gosh!- Well...there was something about the whole game.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04It was going very, very well. You really deserve that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10- You've beaten the Eggheads comprehensively today. How does that feel?- Amazing!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Unbelievable, Dermot. Unbelievable.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19I mean, when you came in here you didn't know how much you were playing for.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23When I told you £37,000, does that work two ways?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- Nice money, but they're on good form.- Yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32It'll go to the Trust and be well used for the future
0:27:32 > 0:27:38- for education and conservation. - Great to hear that it's going to a good cause.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42You beat them in the head-to-heads and in the final round.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46But we couldn't have lost to a more worthwhile cause.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Thank you very much.- That's true.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Anyone who was ejected know about their Fantastic Four?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Judith?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01So the big thing, Bryan, was you put out the World Quiz Champion.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07And you've got £37,000 and you have our congratulations ringing in your ears.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Thank you very much indeed for beating the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13They'll be back.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Once again, what a great performance. Hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23"No, we hated it, Dermot(!)" 37 grand. Well done, you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:29Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful. Goodbye.
