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 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:35against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Taking on our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the British Beard Club.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48This club believes growing a beard is the most natural and ecological expression of a man's character
0:00:48 > 0:00:56and helps to conserve precious resources and energy, as well as saving a lot of time!
0:00:56 > 0:01:02- Let's meet them. - Hello! I'm David, I'm 63 and I'm a retired sound engineer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Hello! I'm Ross, I'm 61 and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hello. I'm Martyn, I'm 48 and I'm a clown and Punch and Judy showman.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Hello. I'm Roger, I'm 57 and I'm a logistics company director.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I'm Greg, I'm 37 and a data analyst.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Welcome, British Beard Club. You're the BBC at the BBC!
0:01:26 > 0:01:32- That's right, yes.- So tell me about the British Beard Club. What's the constitution? To grow beards?
0:01:32 > 0:01:39Well, in 2007 there was a world beard and moustache championships held in England, in Brighton,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44and a few of us realised that all the European countries had beard clubs
0:01:44 > 0:01:51and go in for competitions, there was no beard club for the UK, so we decided to create one.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Absolutely. And what a fine set you all have there. But what do you do?
0:01:55 > 0:02:01Growing a beard is a rather solitary experience. You sit down and wait.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05But there are many problems that people encounter.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11- One is pressure from their family and friends.- So support, emotional and mental.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15And we also meet at pubs and restaurants for a good time.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19We use the beards as an excuse for a good time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Let's play the game and talk more about beards in the course of it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30but if they fail to win, it rolls over.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The Eggheads have won the last game,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Our first head-to-head battle is on Music.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Any one of you can play this.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Music. Who'd like to take it on? - I think you should.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- All right. I will take it. - Which Egghead would you like?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- How about Pat?- It's going to be Ross and Pat playing Music.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Both please take your positions in the question room so there's no conferring.
0:03:01 > 0:03:08Ross, now I see it up there in all its glory, I must say that is a magnificent pair of whiskers.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Fantastic stuff.- Thank you. - Now first or second?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'll go first.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19This is your question, then.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25Say You'll Be There became the second UK number one for which group in 1996?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Pop groups are not my forte,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34but I don't think it was...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Boyzone.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- And I don't think it's Spice Girls, so I'm going to say Oasis.- Oasis.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Clean-shaven, Oasis, usually.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48It's the Spice Girls. Even more clean shaven.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Spice Girls, Say You'll Be There.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53So, Pat,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57what was the nationality of the composer Leo Delibes?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It sounds French.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I don't think he's Spanish.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- With a bit of trepidation, I'll opt for French.- French.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13French is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Ross,
0:04:15 > 0:04:21in the stage and film version of the Sound of Music, 16 Going On 17 is sung by Rolf
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and which Von Trapp daughter?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31This is a musical that I have studiously avoided all my life.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm afraid this is going to be a blind guess. I will say Louisa.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42OK, Louisa. In The Sound of Music,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46it was sung by Rolf and Liesl.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Liesl. So...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Nothing there again.
0:04:50 > 0:04:57Pat, the singer Luther Vandross was most closely associated with which musical genre?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I think he started off singing backing vocals for David Bowie,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08but he was an extremely sophisticated R&B singer.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14He had poor health towards the end and died quite young, but it's R&B.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17A bit of extra information there.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21It is the right answer. Luther Vandross associated with R&B.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24That gives you the victory there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Straight through to the final round. No place for you, Ross, sorry.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Both please rejoin your teams.
0:05:31 > 0:05:39As it stands, the British Beard Club are one set of whiskers down and the Eggheads are all still there.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Our next subject today is Science.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Who'd like to play? Can't be Ross.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Is that me?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Yes, go on, Roger.- It's Science.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54And you get to choose any Egghead apart from Pat.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- I think I'll go head-to-head with CJ.- CJ.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Beard? I bet you've had a 'tache. - I haven't even started to shave yet.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Of course not! When you get to 16, you'll find out.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Let's have Roger and CJ into the question room, please.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- Roger, would you like to go first or second?- I think I'll go second.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22OK.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25That means you're in, CJ. It's Science.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29For what does the computing abbreviation Gb stand?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36That would be gigabyte, Dermot.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yeah, it is. Gigabyte is correct.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And your question, Roger.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47What aspect of a car is a rack and pinion system most commonly used to control?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Well, exhausts are static.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Indicators, these days, are static, so it's the steering.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Rack and pinion - steering. Yes.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03One each. CJ,
0:07:03 > 0:07:09what's the scientific name for the family of creatures to which weasels belong?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I can't say I know this, but let's go on the language.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I'd assume that canidae is something to do with dogs
0:07:21 > 0:07:26and ursidae is to do with bears. So let's try mustelidae.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32OK. For weasels. You worked it out by eliminating the other two. It's the right answer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What would mustel be?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- No? Don't know, Eggheads? - Not that derivation.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42CJ worked it out anyway. There we are. A point to you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Roger, your second question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47A loon is what type of creature?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Ahh...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's not an insect.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- And I'm pretty sure it's a bird. A bird.- A bird?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00A loon is a bird! Of course, yes.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Two each. CJ, third question.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Haumea, recently discovered in the region of the solar system known as the Kuiper Belt,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11is what type of heavenly body?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I'd be surprised if it was comet.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Kuiper Belt is a... long way away,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24so to spot an asteroid that's there would be...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26fairly good going.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30The biggest of those three bodies is the dwarf planet
0:08:30 > 0:08:34and because of the distance I'll try dwarf planet.
0:08:34 > 0:08:41Dwarf planet. Working well, CJ. Bringing all the Egghead skills to bear. Dwarf planet is correct.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44You've got to get this, Roger.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50In the human body, the superior and inferior vena cavae are a pair of veins
0:08:50 > 0:08:54that return the oxygenated blood to where specifically?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Well, if it's returning the oxygenated blood,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04it won't be the brain.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I think it's the lungs.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The oxygenated blood returning to the heart.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm sure that's the other one you were thinking of.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Not the lungs. That means CJ has won the round.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27CJ, you're playing in the final round. No place for you, Roger.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Both please rejoin your teams.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Two members of the British Beard Club have had a shaving so far.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39They'll miss the final round. No Eggheads gone.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The category is Film and Television.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Who'd like to play that? David,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Martyn or Greg?
0:09:47 > 0:09:54- I'll take it.- All right, Martyn. Which Egghead would you like? It's Daphne, Kevin or Judith.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- I'll take Judith as she has lovely eyes.- I use them to watch TV.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Lots of EastEnders. I've been asking the male members about their beard growth.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10- What's your attitude to men with beards? Do you find it rough, tickly?- No, I like it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13My husband had a beard, on and off.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19But what happens... I'm asking about the smoochy bit. It's prickly.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26The sort of beards over there are lovely. They're really soft. Designer stubble is the nightmare.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's all prickly, bristly. Like a toothbrush.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35- Let it go for a while.- Let it go. - For the kissing bit, I have this little gap here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- Is that what that's for?- Let's have separation in the question room.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Martyn and Judith are heading there to play Film and Television.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- Martyn, do you want to go first or second?- Er, I'll go first, Dermot.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Martyn,
0:10:55 > 0:11:01you're kicking off. Who played Harry Burns in the 1989 film When Harry Met Sally?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I love this film, but not for the male lead.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15There's a particular scene in the restaurant that most people are familiar with.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20And that marvellous scene was not opposite Tom Selleck or Steve Martin.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's Billy Crystal.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24That is absolutely right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26When Harry Met Sally.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28First question to Judith.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34Dusty Bin was the mascot and booby prize on which TV game show of the '70s and '80s?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I can't remember.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47I don't think it's Blankety Blank. The whole joke was that the first prize was absolutely hopeless.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So they couldn't have a booby prize.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I think it was Sale of the Century.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59Sale of the Century. Now, Daphne, you've been on Sale of the Century.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It definitely wasn't! 3-2-1.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Did you ever go on 3-2-1 or Blankety Blank?- No, they were game shows,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- not quiz shows.- Right, exactly.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14But prizes were what was attracting you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Yes.- Minis and the rest of it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22Judith, it's 3-2-1. Dusty Bin for you in Eggheads. So you are behind.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27This is looking good for the British Beard Club. Can Martyn get through?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29This will enhance your chances.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35Which TV mini-series set during WWII starred Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson
0:12:35 > 0:12:39as husband and wife Guy and Harriet Pringle?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I don't know the answer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52The World At War was... a fantastic documentary series,
0:12:52 > 0:12:57which I think Laurence Olivier did the voiceover for.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03So it's a choice between the other two. Fortunes or Winds of War.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'm going to have to pick one. I'll go for Fortunes of War.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Fortunes of War.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You have got it! Two-nil.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Straight through to the final round if Judith doesn't get this.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22What is the title of the US version of Strictly Come Dancing?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I think that is Dancing With The Stars.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Yes, it is. That's correct. Still in it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But maybe not for long.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39What is the name of the clown played by Reece Shearsmith
0:13:39 > 0:13:44who is a children's entertainer in the TV comedy series Psychoville?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Sadly, I've only seen a few episodes,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55but there's a classic moment with the clown courtroom.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58As a clown, I should know the answer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02The one that stands out from those three is Mr Jelly.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05There's a Mr Jelly and Mr Jolly.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Wobbly and Rubbery I don't remember. I'm going to go for Mr Jelly.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15From one clown to another... You're in the final round! Correct!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19They've taken that at a canter.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24No place for Judith. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Good news for the British Beard Club. They knocked an Egghead out, but two of them missing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Our last head-to-head is coming up and this one is Geography.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Remaining players are David or Greg.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Who wants to play?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Would the team captain care to?
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- OK.- OK, David. Who would you like to play? Daphne or Kevin?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- Em, Kevin.- Right, let's have David and Kevin into the question room.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58So, David, what are the criteria for winning the beard championships?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Is it just length of beard?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05No, there are 18 different categories of beard and moustache.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10It's a question of choosing which one of those you're most comfortable with
0:15:10 > 0:15:15and there's a lot of showmanship that goes with it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:22A lot of people tend to wear very elaborate costumes in order to try to sway the judges.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28The judges are meant to look at their facial proclivities and not necessarily the costumes,
0:15:28 > 0:15:34- but it's all part of the fun. - Right. Now let's play the round. It's Geography.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- First or second?- First, please.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Going first, David.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46Which Welsh town is located on the south-west shore of the Menai Strait?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Hmm. Now, let me see.
0:15:52 > 0:15:59I think the Menai Strait must be up near where Anglesey is,
0:15:59 > 0:16:05and I think Barry Island is down on the south of Wales, so it can't be Barry.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07And...
0:16:07 > 0:16:13I have a feeling that Prestatyn is on the coast, so I'm going to go for Prestatyn.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Prestatyn. On the Menai Strait?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- It's Caernarfon.- Ah.- Caernarfon.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22A huge castle there.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Nothing there. Let's see how Kevin does with his first question.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31The districts of Braintree and Brentwood are in which county?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35They are in Essex.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Yes, they are.- Not much more to say. - They are in Essex.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So you have the point there.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Niamey is the capital of which West African country?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I must say I'm not sure of this.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I've heard of it recently,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59so...I'm going to say,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03really a complete guess, it's Liberia.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Niamey is the capital of...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Niger.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Oh, bad luck, David. Let's get the other capitals for you. Liberia?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Monrovia.- Senegal?- Dakar.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23They just reel 'em off. All the capitals of the world.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Your question, Kevin, to win. What type of transportation system is the H-Bahn in Dortmund?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Interesting.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Not a place I've been to, Dortmund.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I've been to some of the other towns and cities round about there.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51They are, in that area, which is the Ruhr,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56a great industrial conurbation, keen on things like the monorails.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So I think,
0:17:59 > 0:18:04although I've not heard of there being... There's a famous hanging monorail in Wuppertal,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07which is not that far,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11so I suppose there's no reason why there wouldn't be...
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Yeah, because I don't know it, and I think there would be another letter designation for trams,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'll go for the monorail.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22The H-Bahn is...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25a hanging monorail. It is correct.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27So you're in the final round,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29but, David, no place for you.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Both please rejoin your teams.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38So this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41But those who lost head-to-heads
0:18:41 > 0:18:48won't be allowed to take part. So David, Ross and Roger and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51leave the studio now, please.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56So, Martyn and Greg, you're playing to win £2,000.
0:18:56 > 0:19:03Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09I'll ask each team three questions in turn. They're all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Are your two brains - and beards - better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:14 > 0:19:21- Martyn and Greg, would you like to go first or second? - First again.- First, please.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Martyn, Greg, good luck.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27First question is this.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31What is another name for an aircraft's landing gear?
0:19:35 > 0:19:42Right. Fuselage is the long, rigid bit people sort of sit in when they're not wing walking.
0:19:42 > 0:19:49- Tailfin is the sticky up bit at the back.- The bit I could never get when I did Airfix models as a kid.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So I think it's the undercarriage.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Undercarriage?- Yep.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Undercarriage, please.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Landing gear. Absolutely right.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Undercarriage is correct.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Eggheads,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10the bow and the blade are the two main parts of which everyday item?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Surely, by definition, it's paperclip?- The key?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19The pointy bit's the blade and the round bit the bow?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Paperclip?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Not telephone. - I can't see it being telephone.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Not paperclip. Paperclips don't have...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You can get blade from paperclip.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36And bow as in bowing outwards,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39rather than a definition of a bow.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It's a verb rather than a noun.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Oh, OK.- So...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Are we going to go for key?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I don't know it, but OK.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Well, we are going to say that is definitely a key.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59And it is the right answer. Bow and a blade.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Two main parts of a key.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Put the pressure back on them by getting this.
0:21:05 > 0:21:13Your second question is which impresario was responsible for building London's Savoy Hotel?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Right, now, the thing is...
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I'm immediately leaping to Richard d'Oyly Carte
0:21:25 > 0:21:28because of the Savoy operettas.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32My first thoughts were him as well.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Let's go for Mr d'Oyly.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38We'll go for Richard d'Oyly Carte.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43It IS Richard d'Oyly Carte. You knew your links there.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Yes, very good.
0:21:45 > 0:21:52So you have two out of two. Eggheads, your second question, after almost being confounded
0:21:52 > 0:21:54with the first, is this:
0:21:54 > 0:21:59who managed the England football team for 67 matches?
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Not Hoddle, surely. His reign was the shortest there.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- 67.- Sven had... A longish run.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17A European and a World Cup. About five years?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Venables was...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23He was there for a little while,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27but I would think Eriksson is the likeliest
0:22:27 > 0:22:29to have that number of matches.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Five years, 12 matches a year? It's plausible, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:38- How long was Venables there? It wasn't five years.- No.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Sven definitely got five. - He was the longest of the three.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Probably the most likely. We think Eriksson is most likely.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Simply on length of tenure.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53As the spokesperson with no idea,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I'm told Sven Goran Eriksson.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Sven "Yoran" Eriksson.
0:22:59 > 0:23:0323 for Venables, 28 for Hoddle and 67 for Eriksson.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It is the right answer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, again,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11they're thinking. They're having to work hard
0:23:11 > 0:23:16and you're getting yours so easily. Let's hope you skip over this one.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22The art historian John Richardson is renowned for his multi-volume biography of which artist?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I can't say for certain,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33but again gut instinct is Picasso.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Em, maybe it's my own snobbery,
0:23:37 > 0:23:44but I can't see Andy Warhol having been dead long enough to have a multi-volume biography written yet.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50- So I agree with you. Pablo. - We're going to go for Pablo Picasso.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Pablo Picasso.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58You've got it! Well done! Well worked out. A lot quicker than the Eggheads.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Which gives you a 3-2 lead and a chance of beating them,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06but can they thwart you with this question?
0:24:06 > 0:24:13Which important figure in British cinema was chairman and chief executive of Columbia Pictures
0:24:13 > 0:24:16in the late 1980s?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Which important figure in British cinema was chairman
0:24:24 > 0:24:27of Columbia Pictures in the late 1980s?
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- It's David Puttnam. Is that quick enough?- Lord Puttnam now.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Yes. All square. And we go to sudden death,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41which as you know means we take away the options. We just need an answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:48This is your question. Spyglass Hill is a location in which 1883 novel?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Spyglass Hill is a location in which 1883 novel?
0:24:53 > 0:25:01Arrr! I'm thinking piratical about this one. It has a hint of treasure maps.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- One-legged sailors. - There's the Black Spot.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Old Pugh. - Shall we go for that?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Treasure Island?- Treasure Island.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16You know it very well. It's the right answer. Treasure Island.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Eggheads,
0:25:18 > 0:25:24which word for the ability to find pleasing things by chance was coined by Horace Walpole
0:25:24 > 0:25:29from a Persian fairytale about three princes who had this gift?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Serendipity? - That would be serendipity.
0:25:33 > 0:25:39- It's the right answer. Can you give me the root? - Something to do with Ceylon?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- Serendip.- Three Princes of Serendip. An ancient name for Sri Lanka.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Back to the British Beard Club.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53The word "nip" when referring to a small measure of a spirit, such as whisky,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56is a shortened form of which word?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Alas, I'm more a beer than shorts man, so...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm too tall for shorts.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Nip...?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We'll have to take a guess, so let's have a think.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Nipple?
0:26:13 > 0:26:20- Nothing's coming to mind. - No. A beard gets useful when you can stroke it like this.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Twiddle it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I've got nothing here.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Shall we go with your original...? - Nipple!- Nipple.- Nipple!
0:26:31 > 0:26:36We wanted a longer version of nip. Nipple is incorrect.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39What a surprise(!)
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Not a shorts man, as you said.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Do you know, Eggheads? Nip is a shortened version of...?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Nipkin?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Daphne has it. Nipperkin. Nipperkin.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Origin uncertain, but it's nipperkin. Nipperkin.
0:26:56 > 0:27:03And Daphne on it there. Would have given me a problem. Nipkin - I'm not sure.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09- You did say nipperkin.- Yes. - OK, a chance for the Eggheads to win what has been a great game.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11If they don't get it, we continue.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Which word refers to both the basic currency of Botswana
0:27:16 > 0:27:20and a Croatian town that contains an elliptical Roman amphitheatre,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23dating from the 1st century AD?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Yeah, yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32That would be Pula. P-U-L-A.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35DAPHNE: Just in case.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's the correct answer. You've won.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46That's been a fantastic game,
0:27:46 > 0:27:51crowned by that wonderful final round. Well played, you guys.
0:27:51 > 0:27:59It took two cracking questions there. The Botswanan currency - I guess you talk of little else!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We will at the next meeting.
0:28:01 > 0:28:09Thank you so much for being such a wonderful team and telling us so much about the world of beards!
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But the Eggheads still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19You won't be going home with the £2,000, so it rolls over to the next show. Congratulations.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Who will beat you?
0:28:21 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Until then, goodbye.
