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 > 0:00:20Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Loiners By Proxy, from Leeds.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Team captain, Rob, recruited friends and colleagues to challenge the Eggheads,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51including someone who hosts four quiz nights a week. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Rob. I'm 32 and I'm a trainee manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Lisa. I'm 53 and I'm an education adviser.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Paul. I'm 41.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Part-time accounts assistant and pub quiz master.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Steve. I'm 56 and I'm a financial analyst.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 56 and I'm a retired police officer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We'll talk about quizzing in a moment.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Welcome, Loiners By Proxy. Explain the team name. What is a Loiner?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19If you come from Leeds, you're a Loiner.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And we're all there for various reasons.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Only a couple of us Leeds born-and-bred,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27but some of us are here for marriage purposes,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29university, that kind of thing.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Now, tell me about the quizzing. Who's the four-times-quizzing-a-week person?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- That's me. - Paul, you're a quizmaster?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I am, yes. Four evenings a week. Two general knowledge, a music, and a sports quiz.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Excellent. That fits the bill here. Do you write the questions yourself?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yes, I do most of the questions myself.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I compile my music quiz myself, so if there's any dispute, it all comes down to me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- That's what I like. You crack the whip?- Yes.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- The answer is what I say it is. - Absolutely.- No disputes. Excellent. That's how we do it here.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Well, if the music round comes up, will I expect you to have a go? - I would hope so, yes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, let's see what happens.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, Loiners By Proxy, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I didn't know it was coming up. It's turned up.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So do we need to go through the discussion about who's going to play?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- We're good for that, thank you. - I'll go for that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- OK.- We'll have Paul.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Paul. And which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Right, I would like to take on Daphne.- Daphne.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Oh, God. - Well, at least you match, don't you?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Yes, exactly. They're both visions in yellow.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, could we have Paul and Daphne into the Question Room,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52OK, Paul, let's get straight on with it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56We know about your expertise in music. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'll bite the bullet and go first, Dermot, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Good luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Here's your first question.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05"Do you believe in life after love?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10"I can feel something inside me say, I really don't think you're strong enough,"
0:03:10 > 0:03:15are lyrics from a 1998 UK number one single by which singer?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21That was one of her comeback singles.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24That was a number one, I believe, as well.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And I'm plumping for Cher
0:03:26 > 0:03:30because I think it was a bit of an upbeat record for her at the time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34"Do you believe in life after love?" It's right. Yep. Well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Simply called Believe.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Believe. OK, Daphne.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Love In An Elevator was a 1989 UK Top 20 single by which band?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I've got no idea. Aerosmith.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58A great gasp from Loiners By Proxy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's the right answer. Well...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03A guess there.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Complete knowledge there from Paul, and Daphne just a blind stab in the dark.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Anyway, you've both got a point.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Paul, in which year did Elvis Presley score his first UK number one single with All Shook Up?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Well, by a process of elimination, in the late '60s,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26his popularity had waned a little.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28In the early '60s, he was really popular
0:04:28 > 0:04:30because he'd just come out of the Army.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And I think...
0:04:33 > 0:04:37it was 1957 because he had several songs before he went into the Army.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So I'll go for 1957.
0:04:40 > 0:04:4257 is the year All Shook Up topped the UK charts.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's the right answer. Well done.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Two to you and over to Daphne
0:04:47 > 0:04:49for her second question.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun and The Soft Parade
0:04:53 > 0:04:56were 1960s albums by which group?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04The Eagles.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- No.- No. The Doors.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Yes, The Doors.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Second guess but that doesn't count. - No, no, no.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12On the rebound. Right, well,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14that's a fantastic point
0:05:14 > 0:05:17for her to slip up from your point of view, Paul,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22because you go straight into the final round if you give me the correct answer here.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Which opera features the famous barcarole entitled, Belle Nuit, O Nuit d'Amour?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I was hoping there was going to be no opera or classical music,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38so it's going to be...a lucky guess.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39And...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I'm just going to plump for A - The Bartered Bride.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The Bartered Bride for Belle Nuit, O Nuit d'Amour.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Do you know it, Daphne? Is it that?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- The Tales of Hoffmann. - The Tales of Hoffmann.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52So, both having to guess on your last questions
0:05:52 > 0:05:54and both not getting it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58So, a chance for Daphne to come back.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Which Black Eyed Peas song
0:06:00 > 0:06:04reached number one in the UK singles chart in May 2009?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Boom Boom Pow?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Is the right answer. You're back in the game!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, Paul.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22You had her by the throat there - in quizzing terms - and she's back and we're into Sudden Death.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That means we remove the choices, the options
0:06:24 > 0:06:27you've seen up to this point and this is your question.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31In 1987, The Irish Rover was a Top Ten hit in the UK
0:06:31 > 0:06:36for The Pogues and which traditional Irish folk band?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40This rings a bell because I think they had several hits in the '60s,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42and it might have been a bit of a comeback.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I think the group are The Dubliners.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The Irish Rover, featuring The Pogues and...
0:06:49 > 0:06:50The Dubliners.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's the right answer. Well done, Paul.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Back in the lead and Daphne again to try and stay in it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Which group had a Top 20 single in 1981
0:07:02 > 0:07:05with The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've got no idea, so it's a pass.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's a pass.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- No idea.- Paul, you know what that means.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We'll go through that in a minute, but can you cover yourself in more glory?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Do you know the answer?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I think it's the Fun Boy Three.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Yes, it is. Fun Boy Three.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, he's won it by two.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30You're in the final round. Well done, Paul. Even without that answer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Fun Boy Three, which were part of an offshoot from The Specials, wasn't it? Terry Hall.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Teamed up with Bananarama. - And Bananarama, yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Fun Boy Three, that's how they started. So, no place in the final round for you, Daphne.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Vision in lemon, there. You'll just have to sit it out.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Well played, Paul. You're through. Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Well, a fantastic start for the Loiners By Proxy. Their quizmaster,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Paul, now guaranteed a place in the final round and he's knocked out that Eggheads player, Daphne.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Our next subject is Film & Television. Who'd like to play?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Can't be you, Paul. I'm sure you're good at that.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Do you want me to go for it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Yes, captain. - I'm happy to take it on.- OK?
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Going to be me, please, Dermot.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Which Egghead would you like? Can't be Daphne.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Erm...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'm tempted to go for CJ.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- So many people are. - LAUGHTER
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- So, yes. - It is? You are going to do it, OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I'm taken. I'll go with CJ.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35On second thoughts, you will. Let's have Rob and CJ to the Question Room.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Rob, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'll keep with the trend, I'll go first, Dermot.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Good luck. Let's see if you can follow Paul into the final round. Your first question.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Which former England rugby union player was a regular captain
0:08:53 > 0:08:57on the TV quiz show, A Question Of Sport, from 1982 to 1996?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Right, well for Christmas I was bought the Question Of Sport game,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08many moons ago. And on the front, there was
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Emlyn Hughes and there was Bill Beaumont.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So I'll go with Bill Beaumont, please.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Bill Beaumont is right. Well done.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19OK.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21CJ, in which year was the Oscar-winning film,
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Terms Of Endearment, starring Jack Nicholson and Shirley MacLaine, released?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I wasn't sure of the exact year. The year I had in mind was '82.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- So, as I had that in mind, I'll go for 1983.- OK go for '83.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41'83 is correct. Well done, CJ.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43And there we are, 1-1.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Second question each.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Rob, which actor has appeared in the films Snatch, Death Race and The Italian Job?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56OK, they're...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I think they're Brit flicks.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01So I'm going to go for Jason Statham.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Jason Statham is correct. Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's 2-1 to Rob,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08and CJ's second question.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Which comedy duo received a Bafta Fellowship at the Academy's Television Awards in April 2009?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21That was Dawn and Jennifer, French and Saunders.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Yes, it was. The right answer. 2-2.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Back to Rob.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30What is the name of the character played by Tom Oliver in the Australian soap, Neighbours?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Harold Bishop was, I think, Ian Smith,
0:10:36 > 0:10:42and Paul Robinson was Stefan - Don't It Make You Feel Good - Dennis,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and so it must be Lou Carpenter.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48All this extra information I'm getting, Loiners.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49You're Egghead-like.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51And it's the right answer, as well.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Lou Carpenter
0:10:52 > 0:10:54played by Tom Oliver. You've got to get this, CJ.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Rooster Cogburn is the sequel to which 1969 John Wayne film?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I've never actually seen a John Wayne film in my life.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I don't know this, but my instinct before I saw the options
0:11:12 > 0:11:14was True Grit, so I'll have to go for that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17OK, you think Rooster Cogburn is the sequel to True Grit
0:11:17 > 0:11:19and you're right.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So it's all square and, again, Sudden Death.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Rob, the term "jobsworth"
0:11:26 > 0:11:30was popularised by which long-running TV consumer-affairs programme?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I think...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I can see John Stapleton and his wife,
0:11:36 > 0:11:42and I think - I think - it's Watchdog.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's not, Rob.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's incorrect and it's the other one.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- It is, CJ?- That's Life!
0:11:48 > 0:11:49That's Life!
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Ah.- That's Life! where "jobsworth" was bandied around
0:11:53 > 0:11:55and has passed into popular parlance.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57So it means CJ's got a chance to win the round.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02CJ, which Alfred Hitchcock film was remade in 1998
0:12:02 > 0:12:07by director Gus Van Sant and starred Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore and Anne Heche?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Not seen the original, not seen the remake, but I know that Gus Van Sant remade Psycho.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- So that's my answer. - That's your answer.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17It is correct.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You're in the final round, CJ,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and knocked out, I think, a very,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23very good player there, Rob.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Just caught out by That's Life!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Thought it was Watchdog, but would have been a great asset in the final round.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31He's silenced for that final round.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33CJ, you're there. Rob, you're not.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Another tight round, but the Eggheads just squeezed it there. CJ knocked Rob out.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46It means it's all square in terms of players after two rounds
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and our third subject today is Sport.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Who'd like to play this,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Lisa, Steve or Kevin?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I don't mind being sacrificial.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Depends what we get last.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I think we're going to have Kevin for this.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06OK, Kevin, and you can choose from Chris, Barry or Pat.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I would go for Chris myself on sport.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10They're all difficult, aren't they?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- I'll go for Pat, please.- Pat, OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Your team-mates were thinking of Chris, but you've chosen Pat.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20It's your prerogative, unless the team captain wants to overrule you!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's Kevin and Pat, heading for the Question Room, please.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27OK, Kevin, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'll go first, if I may.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34You may and this is your question.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37In which position does footballer Paul Scholes usually play?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Of course, now living in Lancashire
0:13:41 > 0:13:46and Manchester United being such an important part of that old county -
0:13:46 > 0:13:48of course, it's now Greater Manchester -
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I would be in deep trouble if I was to get this wrong.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I'm absolutely certain he's not the goalkeeper.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58And I'm sure he's not a defender. He's a midfield player.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yes, he is. And do you support any particular team now, Kevin,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03or is that a bit dangerous?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04No, it's not dangerous at all.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- My true allegiance is always with Leeds United.- Ah!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Paul Scholes, midfielder, of course.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11One to you. And, Pat,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16in which country was the swimmer Michael Phelps born?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21He's a native of Baltimore, Maryland,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24so he was born in the United States.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It's the right answer. USA for Michael Phelps.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Another couple of questions coming up.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31This yours, Kevin. In which year
0:14:31 > 0:14:35did the golfer Jack Nicklaus win his third and final Open title?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Golf is definitely not my sport.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Erm, I'm torn between 1968 and 1978.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55But he did play do well for so long,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I would like to go for 1978.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00'78, last Open title for Jack Nicklaus.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Correct. Well done. Worked that out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The Eggheads normally know these things.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Where was the Open in 1978, then?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Britain.- Good...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- LAUGHTER - OK, Pat, your second question.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15In May 2009, which cricketer became the fifth England batsman
0:15:15 > 0:15:19to score centuries in three successive Test-match innings?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25I think, in that time period,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I think Ravi Bopara had a slightly lean time,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33if I recall correctly, so it's between Alastair Cook and Ian Bell.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I think it's Alastair Cook.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Guess what, Pat? It's Ravi Bopara.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Oh!- Ravi Bopara.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44This gives you a real opportunity, Kevin.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Into the final round if you give me the correct answer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52In which track and field event did the Swiss athlete Werner Gunthor win
0:15:52 > 0:15:58three consecutive World Championship gold medals between 1987 and 1993?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03It has to be a guess,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07and therefore
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I must go for shot put as a shot in the dark.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Anything will do there! - I'm afraid so.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- That is called clutching at straws! - It is.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23It's also called booking your place in the final round. It's right!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Shot put. Well, you know,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27even the Eggheads guess -
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and guess successfully, usually, don't they, Daphne?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Well done there, Kevin.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You're in the final round. Pat, you won't be there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, another blow to the Eggheads there, inflicted by Kevin.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Millionaire winner, Pat, gone and the Eggheads again on the back foot.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Will they fight back in our last head-to-head before the final round?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51This one is Food & Drink. And who'd like to play this?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Food & Drink, and it's got to be Lisa or Steve.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Going to be me, isn't it? - It would have been me, but...
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yes. Well, you go again!
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Can I go again?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Wish you could. I'm sure you'd win...- Have a second go!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- I'll give it a go. - It's Lisa.- OK, Lisa,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and who would you like to play from the Eggheads, Barry or Chris?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11- Chris or Barry?- Go for Chris.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Yeah.- You happy with that? - Yeah, all right. Chris, please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Chris. OK. Lisa and Chris, into the Question Room, then, please.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Lisa, now, do you want to go first or second in this Food & Drink?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32This is your question. What is the world's most widely grown cereal grain?
0:17:35 > 0:17:40Right, I don't think rye's terribly popular.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, wheat you would grow for bread,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and I would think bread, daily bread,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47that's the sort of staff of life, isn't it?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- So I'm going to guess at wheat. - Wheat?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Yeah. It's the right answer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53A widely grown cereal grain.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Presumably the most widely grown crop is rice?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Rice, yeah.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58OK, Chris,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02which word, from the Hindi for "fried vegetables",
0:18:02 > 0:18:06is given to a ball or small, flat cake of vegetables fried in batter?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Well, a samosa is like a little vegetable package
0:18:12 > 0:18:16in pastry that's fried. I don't know what a muruku is,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20but a little ball of fried vegetables is a bhaji.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Eaten a few in your time, Chris?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm quite partial, yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Especially the onion bhajis!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's got to be done! It's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And, Lisa,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36the name of which creature is sometimes used for a female lobster, crab or salmon?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I can't imagine mare being used for that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42A sow or a hen...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Sow or hen...
0:18:45 > 0:18:50I think hen tends to be used possibly more generically,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53or possibly not, but I'm going to guess at hen.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Well done. It's the right answer. Hen.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Relief there spreading across Lisa's face.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well worked out. And, Chris,
0:19:02 > 0:19:08the Italian dish fegato alla veneziana is made with which principal ingredient?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Well, Venice is on the sea,
0:19:15 > 0:19:20which inclines me to believe it might be based on seafood,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23so I'll have to go with prawns.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Prawns for fegato alla veneziana.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's made principally with liver.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Liver. And again, same position as Kevin
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and as Paul was. He didn't make it at this point,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39but if you get this, you're in the final round, Lisa.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45Neroli oil, which is used in confectionery, is obtained from the flowers of which type of fruit?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Erm, I've never heard of neroli oil being used in cooking.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57However, I'm pretty sure that
0:19:57 > 0:20:00neroli comes from what we would call "mock orange",
0:20:00 > 0:20:04so I'm hoping that the answer's bitter orange.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08A bitter blow for the Eggheads. You're through to the final round!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Another victory.
0:20:10 > 0:20:143-1 in the head-to-heads. Lisa, prepare to play.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, this is what we've been playing towards -
0:20:19 > 0:20:22the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:24 > 0:20:26won't take part in this round.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30So, Rob from Loiners By Proxy, and Daphne, Chris and Pat
0:20:30 > 0:20:33from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Lisa, Paul, Steve and Kevin, you're playing to win the Loiners By Proxy £5,000.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44CJ and Barry, you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47It is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53The questions are all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Loiners By Proxy, the question is, are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And, Loiners By Proxy, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- First, as we've gone all the time, yeah?- We'll go first. Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Best of luck.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09General Knowledge, as I said, and you can confer.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Which British actress shouted, "Oggy, oggy, oggy, oi-oi-oi,"
0:21:14 > 0:21:19on receiving a Best Supporting Actress Bafta in 2003?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Catherine Zeta Jones is the Welsh one, isn't she?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yes, she is, absolutely.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Kate Winslet isn't Welsh, is she?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32And Keira Knightley would have been an embryo in 2003,
0:21:32 > 0:21:33anyway, wouldn't she?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I'd go for Catherine...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's a Welsh connection.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We think it's the Welsh connection. Catherine Zeta Jones.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Catherine Zeta Jones. Oggy, oggy, oggy, oi-oi-oi.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It's the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And first question
0:21:48 > 0:21:50to the Eggheads.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54A sit up and beg is an old-fashioned type of what device?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00My first thought would be telephone.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Do you remember those stand-up telephones with the handles on?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06That rather looks like a dog sitting up and begging.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- I can't imagine... - I've never heard it for a bicycle.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I can't imagine a bicycle that would give that mental image.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Washing machine? They're all square boxes, aren't they?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah, the twin-tubs and things.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21But you can see it for the shape of the old telephones, can't you?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Haven't heard it...- No.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I can't think of anything else it could be.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'll go with it. I'm not particularly happy -
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I don't know it, but I think it's got to be.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Well, we'll go on similarities in shape.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37The only one that comes anywhere close
0:22:37 > 0:22:40is the old-fashioned telephone, so we'll go for telephone.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Telephone, sit up and beg.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Telephone?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47You should see the looks on the faces of your team-mates!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49And, I suspect, of our millions of viewers at home
0:22:49 > 0:22:52that there's something the Eggheads don't know.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Sit up and beg - an old-fashioned bike.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Never heard of it.- There we are,
0:22:56 > 0:22:57what a great start!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Nothing for the Eggheads. Those three behind you, they are banging
0:23:00 > 0:23:03their heads against the screen!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- They shouldn't have lost their rounds, then.- Exactly.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You look like you'll lose the money, though, between you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, this will put you in a 2-0 lead if you get it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16What is the meaning of the nickname Botticelli,
0:23:16 > 0:23:22by which the Renaissance painter Alessandro Di Filipepi is usually known?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Botti...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Celli is the little bit, isn't it?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Is it barrels?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Could it be...he does all the little cherubs, doesn't he?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Does lots of little cherubs.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- They could possibly be barrel-shaped. - Shall we have a vote on it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I would go barrels.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50We could sit here for the next half an hour, really, couldn't we?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Barrels it is.- Yes, we've decided,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I wouldn't even say by a process of elimination,
0:23:54 > 0:24:00but we think barrels is probably the least silliest.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Least silliest! Well, there are many ways of
0:24:02 > 0:24:05working out correct answers with those choices,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09and least silliest is the route you've chosen.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Botticelli translates as little...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- barrels. It's correct.- Yes!- Yes!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So, Eggheads.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26You know you need to get this, or you will be losing and losing on one of your lowest all-time scores.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Tanggula,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33home to the highest railway station in the world, is located where?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We all know what you two are thinking -
0:24:38 > 0:24:40why, oh why, oh why isn't Chris here?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Because he lost his head-to-head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Certainly not New Zealand. - Forget New Zealand
0:24:44 > 0:24:46first of all.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47There is a very high
0:24:47 > 0:24:49railway in Tibet.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Most of Tibet is about 10,500 feet high.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I know there's one very high railroad.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03It goes up the very...shallow incline of a mountain.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Having been up in the Andes,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08I don't think there is anything much higher than 9,000 feet in Peru,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10so I'm more inclined to go for Tibet.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11That was my first instinct.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'm wondering if it's just a false memory,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16but I think I've heard something about,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18there was this railway going up a fairly...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22gentle incline and it was described as the highest railway in the world.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But whether I'm just misremembering that...
0:25:25 > 0:25:29but going on the language, the word sounds more Tibetan than Peruvian.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32We know it's either Peru or Tibet, but we're going for Tibet.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33I'm hoping Chris
0:25:33 > 0:25:36is not tearing out his remaining hair behind me.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Or all three of them.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Tibet. Chris?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Peru.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's not, it's Tibet!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Just as well you didn't have him there!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It shows what sixes and sevens you're at.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52He would have talked you into Peru.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00But it may just be a little interlude on the way to your victory
0:26:00 > 0:26:04because your fate is in your own hands because of their mess-up on the first question.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07This wins you the money if you give me a correct answer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09The Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring
0:26:09 > 0:26:12are ring roads in which major European city?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17For £5,000.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Well, Paris is the Peripherique, isn't it? Has it got another name?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Boulevard Ring.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's French, but it's pretty international, isn't it?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Boulevard Ring, Garden.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Berlin has the Tiergarten, doesn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- That's beside the point. It's of no consequence.- No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Does Paris have more than one ring road?- Does it?- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45I've never driven in France.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- The Peripherique's the big one. - Peripherique, yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I've driven around that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Are we just being too... - Trying to read too much into it?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Boulevard would suggest that it's French.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But Garden sounds...
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Well, it's none of them, is it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Garden.- I'd say go for Moscow.- Going on that, would you think that...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Moscow perhaps has had more money put into it and built
0:27:14 > 0:27:16since the fall of the Berlin Wall,
0:27:16 > 0:27:21so therefore they might have adopted foreign names? It's rubbish.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- You mean Western names. - I've been to Paris and Berlin.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I never noticed the terms.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's nothing I've heard of, because I've never driven abroad.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32That doesn't help, sorry.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Moscow seems to be filtering to the top.- Yes, it does.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37By a process of elimination.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, we have been through them all.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Several times!- Through the mill!
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Yeah, we've been on a verbal journey around the whole of Europe.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We're plumping for Moscow.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Moscow,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55for the Garden Ring and the Boulevard Ring.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The answer is...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Moscow. You've won!- Yes!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01LOINERS BY PROXY CHEER
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Fantastic!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08What a hoot!
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- How does that feel?- Fantastic.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14That was just almost a perfectly conceived plan,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17a perfectly executed game.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22You beat the Eggheads more or less in every head-to-head and in the final round,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and you deservedly take the money home, one of our best teams.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Thank you very much for playing
0:28:26 > 0:28:31and congratulations to the Loiners By Proxy, £5,000 richer.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Until then, goodbye.
