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 > 0:00:18Question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pits
0:00:27 > 0:00:31their 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 > 0:00:41And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:41 > 0:00:43the Not Very Civil Servants.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48The team all know each other from working in the same tribunal service in Bristol. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I'm Steve, I'm 54 and I'm a business analyst.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm Alison, I'm 46 and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I'm Caroline, I'm 41 and I'm an insurance manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Alex, I'm 45 and my job is Head of Strategy and Planning.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 48 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Welcome to you, Not Very Civil Servants.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Who's not very civil to each other?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's you, Caroline, isn't it? And Ian.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Can't possibly say.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Alex has been put in between us to separate us.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Keep you apart. Do you sit beside each other at work?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We sit across the office, quite a distance from each other.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I think that was organised by Alison.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Absolutely!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I just turn up once a week to intervene when there's a squabble.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- So a bit of banter passes between you. Is this verbal or electronic or both?- No, verbal.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- Commit nothing to email these days. - No.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And tell me about the quizzing, Steve.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Have you put the team together? Have you quizzed together as a team?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Yes, we've not quizzed together as a team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55We've got reasonable records individually in local quizzes but we're a fairly new team.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01But we've got ourselves together what I believe to be a good team,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04one that'll be a reasonable challenge for the Eggheads.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06And a range of disciplines, a range of subjects.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08A good range, all-round knowledge, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13OK, well, let's see what comes up. Best of luck to you today, Not Very Civil Servants.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Now, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Not Very Civil Servants, the Challengers actually won the last game, proving it
0:02:26 > 0:02:29can be done, and it means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32And our first head to head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Any one of you can play this.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38We've decided that Alison will play music.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Good on you, Alison. Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Any one of them you like.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- I think I'd like to play Chris, actually.- OK, Chris.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Let's have Alison against Chris. The subject is music.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Could I ask you both to take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Well, Alison, you're playing music.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I believe you play a mean saxophone.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Oh, I love the saxophone.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08I don't play in a band or anything, I just play at home to annoy my children and neighbours, really.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- And does it work? Does it annoy them?- Oh, it does.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16It gets everyone in the street out their houses and far, far away.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Making the cats meow and the dogs howl.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK, Alison, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Good luck. Here you go.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28First question to you, Alison.
0:03:28 > 0:03:35Rabbit and Ain't No Pleasing You were UK top ten hit singles during the 1980s for which duo?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Well, I think Pepsi and Shirlie were the backing singers for Wham!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Renee and Renato, I don't think it was them,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53so I think it was Chas and Dave.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Chas and Dave. Um... it is the right answer.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Yes, Chas and Dave.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Chris, a big fan, are you, Chris, of Chas and Dave?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Well, Dave Peacock actually came from Ponders End where I came from.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09All right. Well, your first question, Chris.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14The musician and singer George Benson is best known for playing which instrument?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Benson...
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Yes, he accompanies himself on the piano, I believe.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28OK. I'm sure he's good on the piano, but he's best known for playing the guitar.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Is he, begad?
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Begad! Very good start, Alison. See if you can go two-nil up.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40The euphonium is most closely related to and most resembles which other brass instrument?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I should know this but I can't picture it at the moment.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I don't think it would be a trombone or a cornet.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I think I'll try the tuba, please.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57The tuba. Euphonium.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Certainly not saxophone. It is tuba.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It is the right answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05OK, it's two-nil to you. It means Chris has to get this.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Chris, who co-wrote the song Stuck In The Middle With You, famously used in the film Reservoir Dogs?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Hmm.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23He was half of the Humblebums with Billy Connolly, wasn't he?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Also wrote Baker Street. Gerry Rafferty.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29OK. You seemed stuck for a moment or two and then it all flooded out.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That's the right answer, yes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Gerry Rafferty, co-writer of Stuck In The Middle With You.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Two-one to you, Alison, which means you go through to the final round if you get this.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43What was the first name of the English composer Finzi, born in 1901?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50I must admit I'm not really familiar with someone called Finzi.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm going to take a guess at George.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- George Finzi?- Yes.- OK.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It's not the right answer. First one incorrect.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No, it's Gerald. Gerald Finzi.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Didn't get it, Alison, and gives Chris a chance to get back in the game with this.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Nourabad, Leila and Zurga are characters in which opera?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Set in what used to be called Ceylon, it's The Pearl Fishers.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It is. He's back in the game.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26That's all square, two-all, and we go to Sudden Death, then, Alison, and remove those multiple choices.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Just got to hear an answer from you, this is your sudden death question.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38Alf was the debut solo album by which British female singer born in 1961?
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Absolutely fantastic singer by the name of Alison Moyet.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It is, yes, Alison Moyet.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49And Alf was her nickname, wasn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Yeah. - And this is your question, Chris.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55In which UK city is Opera North based?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Hmm.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Not Leeds, and it's not Liverpool.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Wouldn't be anywhere obscure like Huddersfield.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I've an idea it's based on St George's Hall in Manchester.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Manchester.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23So you instantly wrote off Leeds which is where Opera North is based.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- Is it indeed?- Leeds.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Which means, Alison, you're through.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Everyone very pleased about that. That's cracking. Great start for you, Not Very Civil Servants.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Alison, you'll be playing in the Final Round.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Could I ask you both, please, to come back and join your teams?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46May not be very civil servants, but very good quizzers on the early evidence anyway.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Congratulations to Alison. You're through to the Final Round.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It means one Egghead has gone. That Egghead is Chris.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55And here's another opportunity for you to knock another Egghead out.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58This subject is science, and who'd like to play this.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Can't be Alison, remember. Science.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04We're going to play Alex.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07OK, Alex, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08It can't be Chris.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09OK, I'll take on CJ, please.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Let's have Alex and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Alex, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Good luck. Here you go, Alex. What term is used to refer to the
0:08:24 > 0:08:28process of gaining unauthorised access to a computer system?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well, I wouldn't have thought it's digging.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Leave that you the garden, and the weeding to the garden,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38so I think I'll go for the hacking, please.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, hacking is the right answer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41CJ...
0:08:43 > 0:08:50In astronomy, what term refers to the measurement of the brightness of a star or other celestial body?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55That would be its magnitude.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58It would be. That is the right answer. Well done, CJ.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59And back to you, Alex.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Which planet in the solar system has the widest range of daily temperatures?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Er, OK, let's think about this.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Well, we've got Mercury pretty close to the sun,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Mars a bit further out, and Neptune further still.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22So I would have thought, theoretically,
0:09:22 > 0:09:27it should be the one closest to the sun so I'm going to go for Mercury.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Logical mind... getting the right answer.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Well done.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Yeah, it's that proximity to the sun that presumably then leads to this
0:09:35 > 0:09:39huge range of temperatures when the dark side comes round.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- It's got ice at the poles.- Ah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45OK. And, well, I suppose still on temperature for this question for you, CJ.
0:09:45 > 0:09:52Baron Kelvin of Largs, the mathematician and physicist who developed the Kelvin scale of
0:09:52 > 0:09:55temperature measurement was born in which city?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Oh, dear. I'm been hunting around for a biography of Kelvin for quite some
0:10:03 > 0:10:07time and there doesn't seem to be a decent one written.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10He was born William Thomson...
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- but you're not going to give me the point for that, are you?- No.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Er, I'm not sure.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I don't think it's Belfast.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Um...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26but I really don't know between the other two.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I just associate him mainly with Glasgow.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I really don't know this but I'm going to go for Birmingham.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Birmingham. Baron Kelvin of Largs was born in... Eggheads?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Belfast.- Belfast.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45He's right about the Glasgow thing because he actually lived most of his life, a long life,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and did most of his work in Glasgow.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Hence Kelvin.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Born in Belfast and not Birmingham as CJ was hoping.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59It means, Alex, you go through if you give me a correct answer here.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03The Varroa... V A R R O A...
0:11:03 > 0:11:09The Varroa mite has had a destructive effect on which form of British wildlife in this century?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, this is not familiar,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20so again I'm just going to try and work through the options.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26A mite suggests to me that it wouldn't be attacking a fish so I'm going to rule out salmon.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32A mite could be difficult to attach to bees.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I don't know whether it could attach itself.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I'm going to go for falcons, I think, Dermot.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44OK, the Varroa mite has had a destructive effect on... Eggheads?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Bees.- Bees.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Alex, bees not falcons,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51which means you can get back in the game, CJ, if you get this.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57Which chemical element at number 72 in the periodic table is named after
0:11:57 > 0:12:02the Latin name of the city in which it was discovered in the 1920s.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It would help if I could remember what number 72 was.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's a bit less than 73.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Er...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm not going to go for Rhenium, I don't think, which means that's
0:12:19 > 0:12:21certainly going to be the right answer.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Apologies to the others but I really don't know this.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Simply going on "dub" sounds more Latin to me, I'll go for Dubnium.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35He apologised there. Was he right to apologise?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yeah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Copenhagen.- Hafnium, Copenhagen.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Oh, Hafnium from...- Hafnia was...
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Hafnia, Copenhagen. Hafnium. Copenhagen in Latin is?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Hafnia, I think.- Hafnia.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Hafnium. So there we are, the sorry tale of CJ's round, there.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Alex, you're through to the Final Round as well.- Yeah!
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Well, the good start just got better.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10The Eggheads have lost two brains from the Final Round. Not Very Civil Servants are all there.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And we move on to our next subject today.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18This one is geography, and who wants to play this from Steve, Caroline or Ian? Geography.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, our geographical expert,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26for want of a better term, is Caroline,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28so we're going to play Caroline.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31OK. And which Egghead? Chris and CJ have played.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We're going to go for the big one. We're going to take down Kevin.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Take down Kevin.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Well, he's been taken down pretty recently, so let's see how you do, Caroline.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Could I ask you both, please, to take your positions in the Question Room?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- Well, Caroline, do you want to hear Kevin's record in this subject? - Um...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I'm not quite sure whether I want to hear it or not.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's pretty good, as on most subjects.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01Played 22 times and of those lost twice, so a one-in-eleven chance on that record of beating him.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Let's see if this is the time he's going to lose.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Caroline, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Very best of luck to you, Caroline. Here's your question.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18The English town of Lowestoft is located on which major body of water?
0:14:22 > 0:14:28Um... I don't think it's the English Channel.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think Lowestoft
0:14:31 > 0:14:38is probably in the east so, on that basis,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'll go with the North Sea.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43The English town of Lowestoft, East Anglia...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yeah, it's the right answer. North Sea. Good start.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Kevin, Pont Neuf, the construction of which commenced
0:14:51 > 0:14:54in the 16th century, is the oldest bridge in which European city?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Famously ironic because it's called the New Bridge,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01but it is the oldest. It's Paris.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Paris is correct, yes, Kevin. One each.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09Caroline, McMurdo Sound is a bay lying just off which continent?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Gosh, I haven't actually heard of McMurdo Sound,
0:15:16 > 0:15:22so I will take a guess...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24and I'm going to guess Antarctica.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Antarctica... is the right answer.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Well done, Caroline.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Kevin's second question.
0:15:32 > 0:15:39Stazione di Santa Lucia is the main railway station in which Italian city?
0:15:40 > 0:15:47Stazione di Santa Lucia is the main railway station in which Italian city?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I've been to all three of those and I've been to two of them by train,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54or a train has been involved in part of the journey,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but that's not helping, unfortunately.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You didn't look at the stations you arrived in.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Not as such, no. No.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I don't think it's Milan,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07so I'm definitely ruling out Milan.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10So Rome or Venice...
0:16:12 > 0:16:16On the basis that I haven't been to Venice by rail,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'll have to go for Venice.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You're going for Venice.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- Yeah.- Well, done, Kevin.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Venice is correct. Stazione di Santa Lucia in Venice.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Caroline, your third question.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Little Burgundy is a famous district in which North American city?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Again, I'm not sure about this at all.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Um...
0:16:41 > 0:16:46my instinct would say probably not Detroit.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I think, because of the French influence, I'll probably...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I'll go with Montreal.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55OK, on the French influence, well, don't forget New Orleans
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and its massive French quarter,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02but you got the right one! Montreal. Correct.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well done. OK, Kevin,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Pico Turquino...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Pico as in P I C O and Turquino...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16T U R Q U I N O.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Pico Turquino is the highest point on which Caribbean island?
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Well, that sounds pretty Hispanic, so...
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I don't think... We'll rule out Jamaica on that basis because...
0:17:35 > 0:17:40I don't actually know the names of the highest points in any of those, unfortunately.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Should do maybe, but...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I can't choose between them.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Both Spanish-speaking.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54All right, on the basis that possibly I might be slightly more likely to
0:17:54 > 0:17:55have heard of it if it was Cuba,
0:17:55 > 0:18:01I'll have to go for Puerto Rico, but it could be either.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Pico Turquino is the highest point in Cuba.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09It's incorrect, Kevin. Another one bites the dust!
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Caroline, you're through to the final round.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24As it stands, the Eggheads have lost three brains from the Final Round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The Not Very Civil Servants haven't lost any.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Can they make it four out of four?
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Our last subject before the Final Round is food and drink and, Steve or Ian, one of you to play it.
0:18:34 > 0:18:42Well, we'd already decided beforehand that one of Ian's specialist subjects is food and drink,
0:18:42 > 0:18:43as you can see.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48And on that basis,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50it's going to be Ian.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I thought you were going to switch there. Ian, stay with us.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56You've got to choose from Daphne or Judith, one of our female Eggheads.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Yeah, I think Judith. You think Judith?- Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02My captain says I'm playing Judith.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04We're playing Judith.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07OK, well, to be more specific, Ian, you're playing Judith.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Let's have you both into the Question Room, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Well, Ian, how well has it been going for you lot up to this point?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Let's see if you can keep it going. Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20I'll go second, please.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26OK, switch of tactics, hoping for a slip-up from Judith.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Your question.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32In Chinese cuisine, what name is given to a small dumpling consisting
0:19:32 > 0:19:37of a wrapper with a savoury filling that's usually boiled, fried or served in a soup?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Well, I think that is wanton.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- I hope.- Think you know.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Going for wanton.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Wanton soup and all the others. It's the right answer, yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Well, done. Good start. And, Ian, your first question.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59What is the term for pre-baking a pastry case
0:19:59 > 0:20:02before adding any filling to prevent the base becoming soggy?
0:20:09 > 0:20:15Well, food and drink is not my specialist subject, regardless of what my captain said.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I haven't done much cooking in the kitchen.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I would say it's baking rough.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Baking rough...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30pre-baking the pastry case so it doesn't go soggy.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33A bit of a soggy answer. Not the right one.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It's baking blind. Baking blind.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Would you have been better off with wanton?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- No.- OK, well, that's some comfort to you, then.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44All right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51Judith, in which city did Britain's first marmalade factory open in the late 18th century?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I'm fairly sure it's... just Dundee.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I think it's Dundee. I don't know why I think that but I think it is.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01- Dundee?- Mmm.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05The answer is Dundee. It's correct, yes. First marmalade factory in
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Britain opened in Dundee in the 18th century, so you have two points and, Ian, you need to get this, then.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17Maipo Valley and Casablanca Valley... Maipo, M A I P O...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19are wine-growing areas in which country?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Well, for some reason,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31I've got South Africa on the mind.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37The Casablanca... I may be wrong, going down the wrong track, but I'm going to go with South Africa.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39OK, South Africa
0:21:39 > 0:21:41for those two valleys.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43The Maipo and the Casablanca
0:21:43 > 0:21:47represent wines grown in...
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- Chile.- Ahh!
0:21:48 > 0:21:53It's Chile. When you said you didn't like the subject, you've just proved, Ian, that...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56you tried your best, you can certainly say that.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01It means, though, that you won't be playing in the Final Round, and the first Egghead gets through a head to
0:22:01 > 0:22:03head to the Final Round. That's Judith.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The Final Round which, as always, is general knowledge, but I'm afraid those of you who
0:22:13 > 0:22:16lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20So, Chris, Kevin and CJ from the Eggheads, and Ian from the
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Not Very Civil Servants, would you leave the studio now, please?
0:22:26 > 0:22:32So, Steve, Alison, Caroline and Alex, you're playing to win the Not Very Civil Servants £1000.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Judith and Daphne, you're playing for something money can't buy...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38your rather battered reputation.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45This time, the questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Not Very Civil Servants, the question is, are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51I think so.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53You think so.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- We'll see!- Ohh, it's going to be a very good round, I think.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Now, Not Very Civil Servants, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04On the basis that I think we did better when we went first,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08we shall continue in that manner and take the first question.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13First question to Not Very Civil Servants.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Number Wang and The Snooker Commentators
0:23:17 > 0:23:20are regular sketches in a comedy series starring which double act?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Now, I'm quite confident on this one, having seen it on a regular basis.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34It certainly isn't French and Saunders, it's not Hale and Pace.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- It's the marvellous Mitchell and Webb.- Mitchell and Webb.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40That's Number Wang. It is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Oh, well done.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47OK, Eggheads, the Pyramid Stage is an integral feature of which music
0:23:47 > 0:23:52and arts festival which usually takes place in June in Somerset?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59The Pyramid Stage is an integral feature of which music and arts
0:23:59 > 0:24:02festival which usually takes place in June in Somerset?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That would be Glastonbury.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Glastonbury? Have you ever been?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- No. No.- Too muddy.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12You could hold a more refined one on your land, couldn't you, Judith?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Well, it would be drier.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Glastonbury is the right answer. Well done, Eggheads.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25OK, Not Very Civil Servants, Alfred Wainwright devoted much of
0:24:25 > 0:24:28his life to mapping and describing which area of the British Isles?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Alfred Wainwright devoted much of his life to mapping and describing
0:24:35 > 0:24:37which area of the British Isles?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I have no idea.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I don't think it's the South Downs.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Wainwright's Walks in the Lake District.- OK.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49- Wainwright's Walks rings a bell with Alex. Lake District you said?- Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50We're going to go for the Lake District.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Lake District? It's been a very successful TV series, hasn't it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Wainwright's Walks with Julia Bradbury,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and she has been walking around the Lake District.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's the right answer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05So, Eggheads, you need to get this.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10In which city do the Dutch football team Feyenoord play home games?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Feyenoord. Something north.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- I've no idea. - Nor have I, not a clue.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Oh, dear! We could do with one of the boys here.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I think I'd go for Rotterdam because it's the biggest,
0:25:28 > 0:25:33but I have absolutely no idea.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK. Well, I'll go with you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, we're...
0:25:37 > 0:25:41On the basis that Rotterdam is the largest, we're going
0:25:41 > 0:25:46to go for Rotterdam, but we have no idea, Dermot.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Yeah, I heard that. So no idea. Wondering if one of the boys knew.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Any of you male Eggheads know?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- It's Rotterdam.- It is Rotterdam.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56It is the right answer.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58She's a brilliant guesser.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Just seeing how well those head to heads worked for you there.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Well, another question to you, Not Very Civil Servants.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Haven't struggled with any of yours so far. Third question.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Which French fashion designer was awarded the title of Commandeur de la Legion d'honneur in 2009?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32We've got pretty much four gut feelings here.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Four. That's good. So you've added an extra one.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38We could've done with a fifth gut, but what we're going to do is we're
0:26:38 > 0:26:44going to go with our gut instinct and go for Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50Jean-Paul Gaultier. Legion d'honneur was awarded in 2009 to...
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Sonia Rykiel.- Ohh!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Oh, no, so a miss there.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Well, you were going so well, and the Eggheads wobbling on the
0:27:01 > 0:27:03last one, but they have a chance just to nick it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Well, Eggheads, can you tell me,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11in finance, which term refers to the practice of selling a security you
0:27:11 > 0:27:15do not own in anticipation of its price falling?
0:27:19 > 0:27:23In finance, which term refers to the practice of selling a security you
0:27:23 > 0:27:25do not own in anticipation of its price falling?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Short selling.- Short selling?- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's correct. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Well, Not Very Civil Servants, up to that point, I would've been short selling the Eggheads.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47You did everything you could do in those head to heads.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Fantastic performances from nearly all of you. Poor Ian got
0:27:51 > 0:27:54lumbered with that food and drink round he didn't want to play.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59But really knocked those Eggheads about in the head to heads,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and they just nipped in there.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05But very good team. Very good to see you, Not Very Civil Servants.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I think, on another day, could have done it but not on this particular one.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- But thank you very much indeed for coming along to play.- Thank you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13So the winners are the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18They've done what comes naturally to them, and they reign supreme over quiz-land once again.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with £1,000 which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
