0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:39You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hoping to beat the Eggheads today
0:00:41 > 0:00:46are The Hartlepool Monkeys who all work together at the same hospice.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52Everyone in Hartlepool understands their team name, but we may need some explanation. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm John, I'm 63 and I'm head of fund-raising.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Greg, 30, and I'm a fund-raising events organiser.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Scott, I'm 32 and I'm volunteer services manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Johnnie, I'm 62 and I'm a doctor.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Stephen, 46, and I'm an administration assistant.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Welcome to you, Hartlepool Monkeys.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20The legend of the monkey-hangers, tell us about that, John.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Well, during the Napoleonic Wars, there was a shipwreck off Hartlepool
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and there was a monkey washed on the beach.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32As the people of Hartlepool had never seen a Frenchman before,
0:01:32 > 0:01:37they thought the monkey might be French, so they tried it and hanged it as a spy.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Has that been authenticated? It's a story we've heard told.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's in folklore, it's written down.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Let's hope it's Egghead-hanging today you do. - That's what we're hoping for.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Best of luck, Hartlepool Monkeys. We'll talk more about the important work you do during the programme.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10Hartlepool Monkeys, the challengers won the last game, proving that it can be done, they can be beaten,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15so £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads. Let's get on with it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle is on Science.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Monkeys, you get to choose. Who wants to play?
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- And who do you want to play against? - John, I think this is your subject.- It looks like it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Who would you like to take on? - Who do you think?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I think Pat.- Pat?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yeah, let's go for Pat. We don't know Pat very well.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Can we take on Pat, Dermot? - Of course you can.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47You'll find out about Pat now. Let's see how he does against Johnnie.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Could I ask you both to take your positions in the question room?
0:02:51 > 0:02:57We've talked about monkey-hanging, but I know you all do fantastic work at the Hartlepool Hospice.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59What do you do there, Johnnie?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I used to be a GP many years ago, but I went to Hartlepool ten years ago
0:03:05 > 0:03:10to be a doctor within the palliative care service at the hospice.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- That's what I've been doing for ten years.- Fantastic.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19Johnnie, it's Science and you should know a bit about it, certainly the medical side.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Some bits of it maybe. - Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'll go first.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28OK, good luck. Here's your first question then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34The conjunctiva is a delicate membrane covering part of which sense organ?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Well, I think if I didn't know this, I'd probably be struck off.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45It's in the eye.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50The conjunctiva... I'm glad to say your registration is safe.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yeah, it is eye. Well done.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Pat, first question to you. What name is given to the blemishes on the skin
0:04:00 > 0:04:04associated with ageing or exposure to radiation from the sun?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I think those are liver spots.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Yes, I think those are liver spots.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18OK, liver spots...is correct.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well done, Pat. One to you. OK, Johnnie, second question.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28What type of substance is firedamp, frequently a problem in coal mines?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34This is one that takes me back to my childhood, Dermot,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38because I grew up in a mining village in Ayrshire
0:04:38 > 0:04:42where firedamp, I think, is another word for methane.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47It's a gas that all coal miners feared, so it's a gas.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It's the right answer. Well done. It's a gas.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK, Pat.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59By definition, a tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its winds reach what speed?
0:05:05 > 0:05:10I don't know this, but I'm inclined to think it'll be the higher figure
0:05:10 > 0:05:14because a tropical storm is itself quite vigorous,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17so 64mph is plausible for that.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22So I think I'll go for the higher figure. I'll go for 74mph.
0:05:22 > 0:05:2674, that's the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Good opening round so far. Two each.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Your third question, Johnnie.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37Leonhard Euler, born in Basel in 1707, made important discoveries in which field?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43This is one I really don't know.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I don't think...it's in botany,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52just because I've read a little and studied a little of that
0:05:52 > 0:05:54and I don't remember his name at all.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58I think I'm going to go for mathematics.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02On the basis that chemistry you know a lot about, read about botany
0:06:02 > 0:06:07and you hadn't heard of him. You got the right answer. Well done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's maths and that means you've got a 3-2 lead.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16If it stays that way after this question, you're through.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Pat, in 1938, the German physicist Otto Hahn discovered nuclear fission
0:06:20 > 0:06:23by bombarding which element with neutrons?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Well, hydrogen consists of a solitary proton,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33so I don't think bombarding it with neutrons
0:06:33 > 0:06:37would start a fission reaction.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I think plutonium is a synthetic element.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44He could have bombarded plutonium.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Of those three, I would think uranium is the best candidate.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Plutonium and uranium are very heavy elements.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- But I'll go for uranium.- Uranium...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Nuclear fission, Otto Hahn. It's the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's three-all. We go to sudden death.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08We take away those possibilities, those options that you worked so well on that last question with.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17What is the name of the fourth largest constellation which lies just above the Equator
0:07:17 > 0:07:22and takes its name from Greek mythology, referring to a whale or sea monster?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27The thing is, if I knew astronomy at all, this would probably be an easy one
0:07:27 > 0:07:34and people, when I go back home, will be beating me up over it, but I really don't know.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39The only name that comes into my head now is Pleiades.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45OK, Pleiades... It's not. It's the first one wrong, Johnnie, from you. Do you know, Pat?
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- I think it's Cetus.- It is Cetus, named after the sea monster sent to devour Andromeda.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Cetus, not Pleiades, so a chance for you to win the round, Pat.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01Which bird is sometimes called goatsucker because it was believed to suck the milk from goats?
0:08:02 > 0:08:08I think it's the nightjar and I think its Latin name is Caprimulgiformes,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11which literally means "goatsucker".
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'm fairly confident, not certain, but I think it's the nightjar.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Nightjar is correct, Pat. Well done. Congratulations.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Bad luck, Johnnie. Very good science knowledge,
0:08:24 > 0:08:30but caught out with your astronomy. You won't be in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36As it stands after that, The Monkeys have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Let's play our second head-to-head today. This one is Sport.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Who wants to play? Can't be Johnnie.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- That will be Scott. - That will be Scott.- You've got it all planned here, I see.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- He's our sportsman. - Shall we play CJ?- CJ.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55CJ?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Sorry, CJ.- CJ's delighted... Don't apologise to him.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Apologise to him when you beat him.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Let's have Scott and CJ into the question room, please.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Scott, tell me about the hospice.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13I know volunteers are often the lifeblood of organisations like yours.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- You help organise and train them? - That's exactly what I do.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22My role is to ensure we have enough volunteers in the hospice in various departments.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28We've got currently 250 volunteers complementing all areas of the hospice,
0:09:28 > 0:09:33including our shops, our domestic services, catering, in-patient unit.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Every one of them is brilliant.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It takes that many. That's incredible. Put the word out here.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You've got room for plenty more volunteers if they want to help?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46We've always got room for more volunteers.
0:09:46 > 0:09:53- Let's hope that message gets out there. Scott, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Good luck, playing CJ here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Your first question. In tenpin bowling, what term is used
0:10:01 > 0:10:05for the channels on the sides of each lane to catch errant bowls?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I think that one, Dermot, is definitely gutters.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Gutters is correct. Well done. Good start. Tenpin bowling. OK...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Will that skittle CJ?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Dominic Cork, born in 1971, has represented England in which sport?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33He's a bowler. Cricket.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Oh! It is the right answer, Dominic Cork.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Back to you, Scott.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45Which club signed the Russian footballer Andrei Arshavin in February 2009?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Well, I know this answer which is helpful.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54It's not Liverpool or Manchester United.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Arshavin signed for Arsenal.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Arsenal is the right answer. Andrei Arshavin signed by Arsenal in 2009.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03There you are, you've got two.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09CJ's second question. The sport of motorcycle speedway normally takes place on what shape track?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18It's not a figure of eight, otherwise they'd all be crashing.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Do they have straights
0:11:20 > 0:11:25or is it just going all the way round the corners all the time?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I don't think it's circular. I'll go for oval.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33OK, that's the right answer. Well done, CJ.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Oval for normal speedway.
0:11:35 > 0:11:42Third question. How many times did Joe Louis successfully defend his world heavyweight boxing title
0:11:42 > 0:11:46after defeating James Braddock in 1937?
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Well, I must admit 1930s boxing isn't my specialism.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59I always said if I'm unsure and numbers came up,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I would go for the middle one.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'll stick to my strategy
0:12:04 > 0:12:08and plump for the middle number and say it's 35.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Whatever it is, it's a phenomenal number.
0:12:11 > 0:12:151937, won the title and defended it. Eggheads?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- 25.- 25 times, Scott.
0:12:18 > 0:12:2325 times. Well, 25 there, not 35, so a chance for CJ
0:12:23 > 0:12:25to win the round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29In which event did the athlete Emil Zatopek win gold medals
0:12:29 > 0:12:33at both the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games?
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Of course, he took part in all three of those events.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46He is most remembered as a marathon runner, I think.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I think he won gold in the marathon, but I don't know if he won it twice.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I don't know about the 10,000
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and I think the 5,000, he certainly ran it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03If he'd won the marathon twice in succession,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06especially at London, it would have stuck more.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- I'll go for the 5,000 metres.- 5,000 metres, Emil Zatopek, a legend...
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- 5,000 metres, successive golds? - 10,000.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1710,000, CJ. 10,000 metres.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20A let-off, Scott. We go to sudden death again.
0:13:20 > 0:13:27And your question - how many times does each athlete face the water jump over the 3,000-metre distance
0:13:27 > 0:13:30of the Olympic steeplechase event?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Is it as basic as 400 metres into 3,000?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That would make it about seven or eight times.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It doesn't quite fit.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Eight.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Scott, you had it, the formula!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It is 400 into 3,000.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- It's seven.- I was thinking... - That would be 2,800, wouldn't it?
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Then the last 200 metres. Seven times. You were so close.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Great effort. Bad luck.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09CJ, if you get this question right, you've won.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15With which team did Michael Schumacher win his first Formula One title in 1994?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Benetton.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22It's correct, CJ. You have won the round somehow.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Bad luck, Scott, the better player going out.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:30 > 0:14:36As it stands, The Hartlepool Monkeys have lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Our third round today is Geography.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42And it's John, Greg or Stephen?
0:14:42 > 0:14:49It's not one of my strongest subjects, but we can't do any worse, so shall I go for it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- Do you want to go for it? - Yeah, I'll go for it. - Who are you going to go with?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Who do you want to choose?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Pat and CJ have gone, so it's Kevin, Judith or Barry.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Who should we choose? - Judith?- Judith?
0:15:04 > 0:15:10- We'll go for Judith. - OK, let's have Stephen and Judith into the question room, please.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- Stephen, would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19OK, off we go.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It's Geography and, Stephen, here's your question.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27The Isle of Dogs is surrounded on three sides by which river?
0:15:31 > 0:15:37Well, I would say that the Isle of Dogs would be in London,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40so therefore, the answer would be the Thames.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It certainly would. Well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Surrounded by the Thames on three sides.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Judith, the resort of Marbella is on which of the Spanish costas?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I never know the difference between any of the costas.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02God, I don't know! The Costa del Sol is Benidorm and things like that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04On the other hand, the Costa...
0:16:04 > 0:16:08"Sol" means "sun" and that's far south...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Do you know, I have no idea!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Costa del Sol...
0:16:14 > 0:16:19I think I might say Costa del Sol simply because it's got "sun" in it
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and therefore it... Marbella is quite far south.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Costa del Sol for Marbella.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Marbella is in the Costa del Sol. It's the right answer.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well done. Back to you, Stephen.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Chappaquiddick Island lies off the coast of which US state?
0:16:40 > 0:16:46I'm thinking that the name Maine is coming to my mind,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48so I will give an answer of Maine.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52OK, Chappaquiddick Island off the coast of Maine...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's Massachusetts.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's not Maine, Stephen, so bad luck.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02It means Judith has a chance for the lead.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Ventnor is a resort on which island?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I think that is the Isle of Wight.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14The Isle of Wight? Yeah, that's the correct answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16So it's 2-1 to Judith.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You've got to get this, Stephen.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24The regions of calm sea approximately 30 degrees north and south of the Equator
0:17:24 > 0:17:27are collectively known as what?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Well, obviously, it's got something to do with animals,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38but which is the right answer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm not sure,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44but I will go for the middle one,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48for no particular reason, horse,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50as it seems an unusual name.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55OK, well, Scott tried that with his Joe Louis
0:17:55 > 0:17:59and in this case, it is correct. Well done, horse latitudes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03And why... Why the horse latitudes, Eggheads?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07There's light winds there and to loosen the load on the ship,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11unscrupulous captains would throw any livestock over.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- That would normally be horses. - There we are.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18A correct answer from Stephen keeps the round alive.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Judith, Rostock is an important seaport in which country?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I just completely and automatically thought of Russia,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31so I suppose I'd better go with that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Down the middle for you?- Yeah. - Russia, Rostock, is incorrect.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Where is it, Eggheads?- Germany. - Germany.- Germany.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Rostock in Germany, so, a let-off, Stephen.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It means we go to sudden death. Can you tell me this?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50What is the official language of Mozambique?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Well, I would think...African.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58OK...
0:18:58 > 0:19:03African language. Of course, an African country, but that's not correct, Stephen.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09It's got its old colonial stamp still upon it and it was formerly... Do you know, Eggheads?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Portuguese. - Yeah, a Portuguese colony.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Bad luck there, Stephen.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Judith, the towns of North and South Shields are on opposite banks of which river?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I'm really embarrassed, actually.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I don't know where North and South Shields are.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31The, um...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Tyne.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Yeah, it is the right answer, Judith.- Is it really?- Yes, the Tyne.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Yeah, so the Tyne.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- You're lucky, Judith.- I am lucky. I'm very embarrassed. - You got through. Bad luck, Stephen.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54You won't be in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:54 > 0:20:00The Eggheads are all still there and The Hartlepool Monkeys have lost three brains from the final round.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Last chance to knock an Egghead out. It's Music.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The remaining players are John and Greg.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Who wants to play on Music?- Go on, Greg.- It looks like you, Greg.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16- Greg loves music.- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Pat, Judith and CJ have played.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19That leaves you Kevin or Barry.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Kevin.- I'll take Kevin, please.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Go on! Scott's saying, "Go on!"
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Four times World Quiz Champion Kevin versus Greg and the subject is Music.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35And the place to do it all is the question room, please.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- Greg, do you want to go first or second?- I'll take the bull by the horns and go first.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44All right, best of luck, Greg.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51Who composed the music for the songs I Got Rhythm and They Can't Take That Away From Me?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I'm just singing them in my head.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It's going to be a bit of a guess, this one,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07and I'm going to try Leonard Bernstein.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10OK, Leonard Bernstein...
0:21:10 > 0:21:15It's Gershwin, They Can't Take That Away From Me and I Got Rhythm.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's see if Kevin's in quiz rhythm.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21In western musical notation, by what name can a "G sharp" also be known?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Logically...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Not that logic has always got anything to do with it,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34but it should be "A flat".
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Is that your answer?- Yeah.- It is the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Greg, let's get you started.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Constant Craving and a duet with Roy Orbison on his song Crying
0:21:45 > 0:21:48were hit singles for which singer-songwriter?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I know this one because I'm quite a fan of the song Constant Craving.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02- It's KD Lang.- It is. That is the right answer. Well done. KD Lang.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Kevin's second question.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11Westlife sang with which singer on the UK No.1 hit single of 2000 Against All Odds?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Right, I don't know this one.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I can't remember who they did Against All Odds with.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27It seems... 2000 seems to me a bit early for Beyonce.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Whitney or Mariah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Um...I don't know it, so I shall go for Mariah Carey.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40CJ?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Yeah.- You're nodding there. It is the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You need to get this then, Greg.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Which American singing star founded Reprise Records in 1961?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I knew the last question.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I don't think that it was Elvis.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07I could be wrong, but something tells me it was Frank Sinatra.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10OK, you're going for Frank Sinatra?
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Yeah. - OK, Reprise Records founded in '61
0:23:16 > 0:23:19by Ol' Blue Eyes, yes, Frank Sinatra.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That really was breathing a sigh of relief there.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28You have to hope Kevin doesn't know this. Which Rossini opera features the aria Largo Al Factotum?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36That's one of the leading arias from The Barber Of Seville,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Factotum being Figaro.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Barber Of Seville is the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I suspect Greg had that sinking feeling.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Just got that first question wrong. Greg, you won't be playing in the final round.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Please come back and join your teams.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Those who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:03 > 0:24:06can't take part in this round,
0:24:06 > 0:24:12so, Greg, Scott, Johnnie and Stephen from The Hartlepool Monkeys, would you leave the studio, please?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16John, you're playing to win The Hartlepool Monkeys £1,000.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:24:21 > 0:24:23the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:23 > 0:24:29I'll ask each team three questions in turn on General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34John, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- John, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Good luck, John.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Here's your first question. In education, an MA is a Master of what?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55I don't think it's Architecture or Archive.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I think it's Arts. - MA is a Master of Arts, yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Good start, John. Well done. First question to you, Eggheads.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Russian Blue is a breed of which pet?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Cat.- I think it's a cat.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12We're all agreed a Russian Blue is a cat.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15The answer is cat, yes, Eggheads.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18One-all. Good start for you, John.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23What is the name for the wooden framework with holes for the head and hands
0:25:23 > 0:25:28in which offenders were formerly imprisoned and exposed to public abuse?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I don't think it's tirade and I don't think it's harangue.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And I hope it's pillory.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Pillory, yes, it is, John. Well done, two to you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Well, Eggheads...
0:25:44 > 0:25:51Korcula, Hvar and Krk are islands lying off the west coast of which European country?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- It's Croatia.- Croatia?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I'm reliably informed that it's Croatia.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Croatia... Yes, it is. That is correct, Eggheads.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Those islands off the coast of Croatia.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09We've got to the point where the game could be won and lost.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11John, good luck with this.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance
0:26:16 > 0:26:19in the 1988 film The Accidental Tourist?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Do you like your films, John?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't see a lot of films
0:26:27 > 0:26:32and I've never seen this one, believe it or not.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Somehow I think Jessica Lange is springing to mind.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41I don't know the answer, but I am hoping it will be Jessica Lange.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45OK, Jessica Lange, Best Supporting Actress in 1988
0:26:45 > 0:26:47for The Accidental Tourist...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Crucial question. Eggheads?
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- Geena Davis.- Geena Davis, John. You hadn't seen it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57A chance for the Eggheads then.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02From 1948 to 1960, Syngman Rhee was President of which country?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- It's South Korea.- South Korea.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11South Korea. No hesitation.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Looking down the faces there...
0:27:13 > 0:27:17It is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28John, good performance in the final round. You were just whittled down in those head-to-heads.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32They seemed to go against the guys. You played a really good game.
0:27:32 > 0:27:39The result in terms of those head-to-heads doesn't represent the quality of the quizzing today.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Thank you for taking on the Eggheads and telling us about monkey-hanging
0:27:43 > 0:27:48and a million times more importantly, the Hartlepool Hospice.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Best of luck to you all and I'm glad if we've done a bit to spread the word about the great work you do.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Thanks very much for playing Eggheads today.- Thank you very much.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03But the Eggheads reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:28:03 > 0:28:09You won't be going home with £1,000, which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? Join us next time
0:28:13 > 0:28:19to see if a new team of challengers can defeat the Eggheads. £2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
