0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is can they be beaten.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32You might recognise them as they've won
0:00:32 > 0:00:35some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Middleton Moonrakers from Lancashire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Alongside his own quizzing expertise as the question-setter for the local
0:00:45 > 0:00:48quiz league, team captain, Barry,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52has recruited four of his quizziest friends, if that's a word,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56including the brains of Rochdale and Yorkshire to challenge the Eggheads.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Let's meet them.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Barry, I'm 66 years old and I'm a retired printer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Geoff, I too am 66 years old
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and I'm a retired shipping account executive.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 52, I'm a retired marketing controller.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Mick. I'm 57 and I'm a retired office manager.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Hello, I'm John, I'm 64 years old and I am a retired school teacher.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Welcome to you, Middleton Moonrakers and your quizzy friends.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Tell me about the team name, what is the Moonraker bit?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Middleton's a small town to the north of Manchester and we're known
0:01:29 > 0:01:35as Moonrakers because legend has it, in days gone by, a long time ago,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36some drunken men,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40like us, on the way home from the pub saw the moon in a pond
0:01:40 > 0:01:45and thought they'd rake it out and take it home with them
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- so the name's stuck.- So tell me about the quizzing, Barry.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54You've recruited your finest pals here?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57John, Ian and I
0:01:57 > 0:02:00have been playing together for 30 years.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Nick's been playing with us for about 20
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and Geoff's the new kid on the block.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Still wet behind the ears, is he?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Still wet behind the ears,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12but I'm sure he'll give a good account of himself.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let me tell you what happens.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I'm sure you know, but let's just confirm it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20There's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:22 > 0:02:24the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So Middleton Moonrakers,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28the challengers actually won the last game
0:02:28 > 0:02:30proving it can be done
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and that means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Let's set about the task. First head-to-head today is Politics.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Who'd like to play Politics? - We decided.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43That's me. That's me, Dermot.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I'm going to be the sacrificial lamb!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Young Geoff. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Geoff?- Shall I try Daphne?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Geoff and Daphne into the Question Room,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56please, just to make sure you can't confer.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So, Geoff, do you have an interest in politics, current affairs,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02things like that?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07I like to keep abreast of most things, Dermot,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10but, yes, I do have more than a passing interest in politics.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Good, good, just as well. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Having given it due consideration, we've decided
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I've got to go first please, Dermot.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23You're sounding like a politician there
0:03:23 > 0:03:26saying, "having given it due consideration."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's political phraseology. Here's your first question then, Geoff.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33In 2009 it was revealed that which MP claimed expenses twice
0:03:33 > 0:03:36for having a lavatory seat repaired?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41This is one
0:03:41 > 0:03:45that I have got to really think about
0:03:45 > 0:03:49because there were an awful lot at this time
0:03:49 > 0:03:51including duck houses and all sorts of things.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54This one particularly doesn't spring to mind.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I'm sure it wasn't John Prescott, Eric Pickles, I'm not...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I think I'll go for Nicholas Soames.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Nicholas Soames.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The lavatory seat claims
0:04:05 > 0:04:07came from John Prescott.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It was John Prescott.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK, Daphne.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What term is often used to describe
0:04:13 > 0:04:15the circle of MPs, political journalists, spin doctors
0:04:15 > 0:04:18and others connected to the House of Commons and the House of Lords?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I've never heard of that expression.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31To me, I'd go to Westminster Village
0:04:31 > 0:04:33because of the gossipiness.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36That's the right answer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well done, Daphne,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40you've worked that out.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Geoff, which American president was suddenly taken ill at dinner
0:04:43 > 0:04:45during a state visit to Japan
0:04:45 > 0:04:48vomiting and collapsing into the lap of his host,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Japanese Prime Minister, Miyazawa.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm certainly a little bit happier with this question
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Dermot, I believe that I do know the answer to this,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ronald Reagan - no, Richard Nixon - no,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I am sure it was good old George HW.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11George HW Bush, George W Bush's father.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15George Bush Snr when he was president there at the end
0:05:15 > 0:05:18of the '80s, the beginning of the '90s. You are right, yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Daphne, what's the name of the crown worn by the Queen
0:05:25 > 0:05:27during the state opening of Parliament?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Gosh, I don't know.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43For some reason I hope it's St Edward's Crown?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46St Edward's Crown.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48A guess?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It is a guess, sorry.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It's a wrong one too.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Imperial State Crown? - Imperial State Crown.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And leaves it all square
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so Geoff still very much back in it.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59This to take the lead.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05The 1997 Dearing Report looked into the future of what?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14The Dearing Report. Again I'll have to put my thinking cap on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I don't think it was...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20the armed forces.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22There seems to be a lot happening
0:06:22 > 0:06:27with the NHS, but on this one I think I would down the middle
0:06:27 > 0:06:28and go for higher education.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Daphne went down the middle
0:06:30 > 0:06:32and missed it. You though,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36it's a hit. It's the right one. Higher education.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38And Daphne.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- I know. - It means you've got to get this.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42In 1981 who became
0:06:42 > 0:06:46the first woman to be appointed as a member of America's Supreme Court?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I think
0:06:54 > 0:06:56it's Sandra Day O'Connor.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Put me out of my misery, Dermot. - You think?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I'm just looking at the other Eggheads.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It is Sandra Day O'Connor. It is correct.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10So it's all square
0:07:10 > 0:07:13and that means, Geoff, we go to sudden death
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and we take away the multiple choice
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and I've got to hear an answer from you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22When the abbreviation NOC is used on a list of results
0:07:22 > 0:07:26for local government elections, for what does the O stand?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I can't honestly
0:07:29 > 0:07:34say I remember ever seeing this in local elections.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37I'll just have a guess at other.
0:07:37 > 0:07:44Other is incorrect. It's no overall control. Overall.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47NOC. No overall control.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So, Daphne,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Boutros Boutros-Ghali,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53the former Secretary General of the United Nations
0:07:53 > 0:07:56was born in which country?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Egypt?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It is the right answer.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Egyptian.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06So, you have managed to clinch that round.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Bad luck, Geoff.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I thought you might have done it in sudden death.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Foxed with no overall control.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You won't be playing in the final round.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22After the first round the Middleton Moonrakers are one brain down.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24The Eggheads, all still there.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Our next subject today is going to be Arts & Books.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Who'd like to play this? It can't be you, Geoff.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- I think it's you, Mick. - I think it's you, Mick.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- It's me, then. - I think it's you, Mick.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be Daphne.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I think I'll try Chris, please.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Chris on Arts & Books. There we are.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46An academic subject, Chris.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48And about time too, Dermot!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50HE LAUGHS
0:08:50 > 0:08:53OK, let's have Mick and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56So, Mick, in relation to this category,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59what's your favourite reading material?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I've been reading a lot of science fiction books,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04but recently I've started reading a lot of exploration,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08mountain climbing, biography type books.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11What about the greats of literature?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm not really good on the greats, on the classics.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm a lot better on popular books, I think.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20All kinds come up in this category, certainly plenty of science fiction.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Let's see what you get.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28First it is. This is your question, Mick.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks" is the line
0:09:32 > 0:09:36spoken by which character in the Shakespeare play Romeo And Juliet?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm not very good on Shakespeare, but I do know that's Romeo.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Did you like my delivery, Eggheads?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Do you think if Trevor Nunn is watching I'm in there? The RSC?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49A grand future awaiting you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51We'll put in a good word.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Romeo is correct.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks."
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And, Chris,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00in what setting does the majority of the story
0:10:00 > 0:10:04in Paul Gallico's 1969 novel The Poseidon Adventure take place?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's set in a capsized ocean liner.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Ocean liner is correct
0:10:13 > 0:10:14for The Poseidon Adventure.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And back to you, Mick, your second question.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18In Keats' poem Isabella
0:10:18 > 0:10:20where does the eponymous heroine
0:10:20 > 0:10:23hide her murdered lover's severed head?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I don't know the poem,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32but if I was hiding a severed head I'd hide it in a vase.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Isabella wasn't that clever, she went for a pot of basil.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38A pot of basil.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And, Chris, your second question.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44The impressionist artist Berthe Morisot
0:10:44 > 0:10:47became the sister-in-law of which French painter
0:10:47 > 0:10:50when she married his brother Eugene in 1874?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Hmm.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It would have to be a pure guess here, Dermot.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I think Renoir was actually slightly later.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'll have to go with Edouard Manet.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08It's correct. Well done, Chris.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12So you've got some work to do, Mick, starting here.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18Never Let Me Go is the 2005 novel by which Booker Prize winner?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's not one I've heard of here
0:11:25 > 0:11:28so again it's going to have to be another guess.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I think I'll guess at...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Kazuo Ishiguro.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35It's the right answer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40You've got to hope Chris doesn't get this.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Chris, in which borough of London
0:11:43 > 0:11:46was the playwright Harold Pinter born and brought up?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Ah, yes, he's a Jewish lad,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53isn't he, from Stamford Hill which is part of the borough of Hackney.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Do you know your London well?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And it is Hackney. It's the right answer, Chris.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Not enough there with that Booker Prize answer, Mick.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Good answer, but didn't get your pot of basil on the second one.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You won't be in the final round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Please, come back and join you teams.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Well, second round gone and second member
0:12:16 > 0:12:18of the Middleton Moonrakers gone.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21All the Eggheads are still there.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Our next subject, it's Music now.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Who would like to play this? Barry, Ian
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- or John? John, would you fancy it?- Yes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK. Which Egghead would you like to play, Barry, Pat or Judith?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35I think I'll trade blows with Barry.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37"Trade blows"? That could be quite a tussle there.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Shall we just have a fight instead of a quiz?!
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Let's have John and Barry into the Question Room to play Music.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49John, I believe you're a part-time registrar.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Have you helped many couples tie the knot?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Yes, I have, Dermot. I've been doing it now for over six years
0:12:55 > 0:12:59and I've married... I thought maybe 300,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02but probably 400 couples including my sister-in-law
0:13:02 > 0:13:05who came down from Scotland to be married by me.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Fantastic. Now, John, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'll follow the tradition and go first.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Let's see if we can get you through, John.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Your first question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Sweet Little Mystery
0:13:17 > 0:13:22and Angel Eyes were UK hit singles in 1987 for which band?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I've heard of all three of them, but I haven't got a clue
0:13:29 > 0:13:34what any of them recorded so this is going to be a guess.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I'm going to go for...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38M People.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It is Wet Wet Wet.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Not M People. So, Barry,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46which French word is used to describe
0:13:46 > 0:13:49an extra performance of a musical piece at the end of a recital?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55The French don't actually use this word.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57If they want a repeat performance
0:13:57 > 0:13:59they shout out "biz".
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But the word we use in England is encore.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Encore, you've got it, correct.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And second question,
0:14:06 > 0:14:07let's get you off the mark, John,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10in the song Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
0:14:10 > 0:14:12features in which musical?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Right, I'm fairly sure it's not Showboat.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I went for the first
0:14:22 > 0:14:24last time, I'm going for the first again this time,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Meet Me In St Louis.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I thought you'd go off the first one,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but luckily you didn't cos it's the right answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Meet Me In St Louis.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35One to you and Barry's second question.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You've Come A Long Way Baby
0:14:38 > 0:14:41was a UK number one album by which artist in 1998?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47The wheels rather came off for me in the last game
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and I've a feeling they're going to be doing it again on this question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I don't think it's a Madonna album
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and I haven't a clue about any Eminem albums
0:14:55 > 0:14:57so I'll go for Fatboy Slim.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It is Fatboy Slim, it is correct.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You're back in the lead and, John, you need to get this.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Which country singer known for his yodelling had hits in America
0:15:07 > 0:15:10with Miss The Mississippi And You and Brakeman's Blues?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It wasn't Jim Reeves, I'm sure of that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I'll go for, because I like her very much, Gene Autry.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Gene Autry for yodelling,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Miss The Mississippi And You and Brakeman's Blues.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's Jimmie Rodgers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Jimmie Rogers, John, so I'm afraid you're attempt at knocking Barry out
0:15:35 > 0:15:38has failed. He's got those two on the border.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40A score you can't beat with just the one out of three.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46It means you won't be playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:46 > 0:15:51As it stands now, three brains gone from the Middleton Moonrakers team. None of the Eggheads.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Time to get that quiz rake out and pull some of these Eggheads out of the competition.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Last head-to-head before the final round is Sport.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02We are down to two.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I saw Ian go, "Here we go."
0:16:05 > 0:16:07All right, Ian. Your choices are Pat or Judith.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'll play Judith, please.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14OK. Let's have Ian and Judith into the question room, please.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Ian, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'll stick with tradition and go first please, Dermot.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Good luck. First question to you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30Which football team won the English Premier League title in May 2009?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It pains me to say it was Manchester United.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41You are from that part of the world. Can I take it from that
0:16:41 > 0:16:44that you support the other team in Manchester, or another one?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- I support another one, actually. I support Leeds United.- Oh, I see.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You made Barry very happy.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52A fellow Loiner there,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54as I learnt very recently.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Manchester United won the Premier League title in 2009.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07Judith, Shane Warne is one of the greatest-ever exponents of which discipline in the game of cricket?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Not a wicketkeeper.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm fairly sure he's a bowler.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So the middle one.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20That would be it. A middle one for all those middle stumps he took out.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Leg-spin bowling. Well done.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Ian, in which year did Billie Jean King win
0:17:27 > 0:17:31the ladies' singles competition at Wimbledon for the last time?
0:17:35 > 0:17:40I'm fairly sure she didn't play as late as 1985.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46And 1965 seems a tad early because I know she won it quite a few times.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So I'll plump for 1975, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53That's correct. 1975, Billie Jean King's last title at Wimbledon.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And, Judith, what was the time in seconds
0:17:57 > 0:18:04run by Michael Johnson when he broke the 400 metres world record at the 1999 Athletics World Championships?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I have absolutely no idea.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18I have no idea! I have nothing to base it on at all.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19It's a one-in-three guess, then.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23400 metres in...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28..well, he ran fast. 43.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I don't know.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37He ran fast. He did run fast because he did break the world record.
0:18:37 > 0:18:4143.18, you think. That's correct, Judith. You've got it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Well done. All square
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and going into the third question each, this for you, Ian.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52The Italian Giacomo Agostini and the Australian Michael Doohan
0:18:52 > 0:18:55are former world champions in which sport?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Well, I follow boxing to a certain extent
0:19:01 > 0:19:05and I don't recall those names in connection with boxing.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11They don't ring a bell as being rowers, either,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15so I guess that leaves motorcycling, please, Dermot.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18It's the right answer. Well done.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Have you made your way into the final round with that?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25In May 2009, it was announced Jonny Wilkinson was leaving
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Newcastle Falcons to join which French rugby union club?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, dear.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I didn't read this.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46If I were him, I'd go and join Stade Francais, I think, because that's the one in Paris, isn't it?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Well, Jonny, ignoring Judith's advice, he signed for Toulon.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53He went to Toulon after Newcastle Falcons,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56which means you've done it, Middleton Moonrakers.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You've got somebody into the final round. That is Ian. Well done.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07Judith, you won't be playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:15 > 0:20:20won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Geoff, Mick and John from the Middleton Moonrakers
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28So, Barry and Ian, you're playing to win the Middleton Moonrakers £1,000.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:20:33 > 0:20:35the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42The questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Middleton Moonrakers, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Barry and Ian, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Best of luck to you, Barry and Ian. Here's your first question.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01What name is given to the practice of skimming stones across the surface of water?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's certainly not cobs and pens.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It doesn't sound as though it should be ganders and hens.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's definitely ducks and drakes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It is ducks and drakes, the right answer, of course.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Eggheads, who was appointed Chief Scout in May 2009?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Who was appointed Chief Scout in May 2009?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34We think it's Bear Grylls, television adventurer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Bear Grylls is correct. Well done.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Good start there for Ian and Barry. Your second question,
0:21:42 > 0:21:49what was the name of the short, full skirt usually layered or with rows of frills popular in the 1980s?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I've not really come across a prairie or a tulip.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I thought ra-ra was earlier than the '80s,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07but I'm going to say, we've decided,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10we haven't heard of tulip or prairie, so we're going for ra-ra.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16The short, full skirt usually layered or with rows of frills was the ra-ra.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It is the right answer.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It's pretty popular now again.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25So you have two. Eggheads, is it beginning to slip away again?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27We'll find out with this question.
0:22:27 > 0:22:34The Brazilian Sebastiao Salgado is best known for his work in which area of the arts?
0:22:34 > 0:22:41I'm not sure. I don't know. He could be a photographer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I don't think he's a sculptor.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I'm not sure, it's just a hunch. He's a photographer.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Go for that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51We'll go for photography, but it's just a hunch. Not confident.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Salgado is a photographer. It's the right answer.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Just the hunch maybe saving your bacon. OK,
0:23:01 > 0:23:06close there, Middleton Moonrakers. Get this right and the pressure will go back on the Eggheads.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Your third question. Which English cathedral is famous for its imp?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The football team in Lincoln is nicknamed the Red Imps.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17The Red Imps.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22I would think on that basis we have to go for Lincoln.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26We know the Lincoln football team are nicknamed the Red Imps,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29so we're going to go for Lincoln.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, through the football team
0:23:31 > 0:23:36and their nickname, imp. You've got it, well done. Lincoln.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44So, Eggheads, if you don't get this, it'll be two in a row.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47In the long-running Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51how many pieces of music are the guests allowed to choose?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57In the long-running Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00how many pieces of music are the guests allowed to choose?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03We believe it's eight pieces.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes, it is eight.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06It is the right answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09So we go to sudden death.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And a very, very, assured performance so far
0:24:12 > 0:24:16from Ian and Barry, but sudden death means we take away the multiple choice.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Just got to hear an answer from you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Your sudden-death question is this.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Which comedian, perhaps as well known for her plastic surgery as for her jokes,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30was born Joan Molinsky in 1933?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Which famous comedian, perhaps as well known for her plastic surgery
0:24:33 > 0:24:39as for her jokes, was born Joan Molinsky in 1933?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43It is a Jewish name. She is Jewish, it's Joan Rivers.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45John Rivers is correct, yes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Or Joan Molinsky.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Eggheads,
0:24:49 > 0:24:56people whose birthdays fall between November 22nd and December 21st
0:24:56 > 0:25:00are considered to have been born under which sign of the zodiac?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03People whose birthdays fall between November 22nd and December 21st
0:25:03 > 0:25:08are considered to have been born under which sign of the zodiac?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I'm a Sagittarian.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It's Sagittarius.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Two birthdays falling within said sign, it is Sagittarius.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Back to Ian and Barry.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24What is the usual name given to the rail fixed horizontally
0:25:24 > 0:25:29to an interior wall at waist height to protect the wall decoration?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32What's the usual name given to the rail fixed horizontally
0:25:32 > 0:25:37to an interior wall at waist height to protect the wall decoration?
0:25:37 > 0:25:42I spent a fortnight putting one up and I only mean one piece.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's a dado rail.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It is the right answer. Well done.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52OK, Eggheads, right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57The Cobalt Silver Rush and the Porcupine Gold Rush
0:25:57 > 0:26:01took place in which country in the early part of the 20th century?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Silver and gold? Canada.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07A huge mining country. It is vast.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Early 20th century.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Klondike was 1896, so it's post-Klondike.- Cobalt.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Could it be Australia, though?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22It certainly could be. The porcupine is an African animal, but that doesn't help us.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Why would they call it porcupine?
0:26:24 > 0:26:29In the USA, there are porcupines.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32That's suggesting USA.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Reno and Nevada?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I don't really know.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I have a hunch for Canada.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I think there is a town called Cobalt in Nevada.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I think. I'm not sure.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52What do people fancy?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54USA.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I've come to that as well.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01OK. We think it's either Canada
0:27:01 > 0:27:03or the United States.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08- And on balance, we're going to go for the United States.- OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11United States. The Cobalt Silver Rush and the Porcupine Gold Rush
0:27:11 > 0:27:15took place in the early part of the 20th century in...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19..Canada.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Which means you have won, Middleton Moonrakers.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Well, that's another back-to-back defeat for the Eggheads.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38They keep doing this. This is the seventh time you've followed up a loss with a loss.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42That was a bit different from a dado rail.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48Let's focus on your performance. Well played, Middleton Moonrakers. Particularly Ian there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52It was very important you made it through there to the final round.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You were in the last head-to-head. The first three went against you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Geoff, Mick and John tried valiantly but couldn't get past the Eggheads.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03You did and gave Barry some valuable back-up in the final round and look what's happened!
0:28:03 > 0:28:07You've taken the money and the Eggheads' crown again.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12So congratulations to you, Middleton Moonrakers. Do join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:12 > 0:28:15to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Until then, goodbye.
