0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won
0:00:33 > 0:00:35some of the country's toughest quizzes.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:41are X Appeal.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This team all work together
0:00:43 > 0:00:46at Xaverian Catholic Sixth Form College in Manchester.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 28 and I'm a teacher of history.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Terry, I'm 62, I'm the IT coordinator.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Elaine and I'm 53 years old
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and I'm an additional learning support tutor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Pat, I'm 32 and I'm a teacher of religious education.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hi, my name's Phil, I'm 28 years old and I teach film and media studies.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Matthew and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And Xaverian spelt with an X is what?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19It's a college that originally started off taking its name
0:01:19 > 0:01:21from a saint, which is Saint Xavier.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And it was run by a religious order for quite a while
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and then we took it over.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now we run it as a sixth form college.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And what do we know about Saint Xavier?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I think he went to India with Saint Ignatius Loyola. I think.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- He was Portuguese, Spanish. - He set up the Jesuits.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Anyone else add to Saint Xavier?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41He was known as the Apostle of the Indies.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- So, he was a Jesuit who went to India.- OK, there we are.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Worrying amount of knowledge on that side, as always.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But we know about them, don't we?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:54 > 0:01:55for our challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The Eggheads have won the last six games
0:02:02 > 0:02:08which means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- Shall we give it a go?- Yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12First head-to-head is on the subject of Science.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- I think Elaine was quite confident. - I know, yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22- Also, Matt, you'd do quite well. - Yes, that's true.- Elaine, OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Which Egghead?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26You've got the pick of the crop.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'm looking at either Daphne or maybe Pat, I don't know. Maybe.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- How about Pat? Please.- OK, Elaine.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Elaine from X Appeal against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39would you take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- OK, good luck, Elaine.- Thank you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Three multiple-choice questions on Science in turn.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Whoever answers the most questions correctly
0:02:47 > 0:02:49is the winner and goes through to the final.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Elaine, choose the first or second set.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'll go first, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Best of luck to you. Here we go.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01What nationality was the scientist Max Planck?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06P-L-A-N-C-K.
0:03:06 > 0:03:14That sounds to me more like a German name than a French or an Italian.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18So, I think I'll have to go for German, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20German is the correct answer, well done.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Pat, the boll weevil is a serious pest to which crop?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Well, I think, on the cotton plant, it develops a boll
0:03:34 > 0:03:37which, I think, explodes, then and releases the fibre.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41So, the boll weevil is a big menace to cotton.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Well done, cotton is the right answer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Elaine, your second question.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Dorcas and Thompson's are species of which creature?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Dorcas and Thompson's.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm trying to think which of those choices
0:03:58 > 0:04:00have a lot of different species.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Right.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I think I'm going to go with gazelle.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Well done, gazelle is completely right. Two points to you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Pat, which bone in the human body is the closest
0:04:15 > 0:04:17to a chicken's wishbone?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Not something I've thought about very much.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Um.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31My first thought is that I remember there being
0:04:31 > 0:04:33a single wishbone in a chicken.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Where we, obviously, have two clavicles which are our collarbones
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and two scapulas - our shoulder blades.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So, that suggests pelvis.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm just trying to remember the last time
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I prised one of these from a chicken.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It is a funny, Y-shaped bone so it could almost be two fused,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56clavicles or scapula.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59There is only one wishbone.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So, if it is, in fact, two fused bones, I'm in hard luck.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm going to go for pelvis.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Pelvis is your answer. CJ looks excruciated. What's wrong?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Not sure but I would've gone for clavicle.- It's the clavicle, Pat.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17Lovely bit of logic, but led you astray. So, Elaine, how about this?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Get this right, you've knocked him out.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22He's never lost in Science before. Your third question.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Who was the first British woman to win
0:05:24 > 0:05:27a Nobel Prize in any of the science categories?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Er. Right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, looking at those ladies' names,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45the one name that rings a bell with me
0:05:45 > 0:05:50is, but it could well be wrong, is Rosalind Franklin.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54So, I'll choose Rosalind Franklin, please, Jeremy.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58I'm afraid you're wrong. It was Dorothy Hodgkin.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Won it for chemistry in 1964.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03OK, Pat, your question.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Get this wrong, you're out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08What shape is each face of a regular dodecahedron?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I think the faces are pentagonal.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Pentagonal is the right answer.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Sorry, Elaine, it's never quite that easy.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's harder as I don't give alternatives.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Here's your question.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The Cavendish laboratory is the physics department
0:06:28 > 0:06:31at which university?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Right, well, I'm going to just have to take
0:06:40 > 0:06:42a bit of a pot luck guess, here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm going to go for Manchester University.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48No, it's not Manchester, it's Cambridge.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Pat, if you get this right,
0:06:49 > 0:06:50you're through.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54In the human body, which muscle contracts to make the elbow bend?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Hm.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00That must be the main muscle in the upper arm.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03What are those muscles called?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Biceps and triceps, yes, they are.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10They're in the arm, aren't they?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12When you pump iron, when you lift weights
0:07:12 > 0:07:15over and over again and build up your upper arms.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's the front muscle.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Cos it has to contract to pull up the lower arm.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So, I think it's the biceps.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Biceps is the right answer, well done. Triceps is the back.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So, Elaine, sorry,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31you came very close to historically knocking Pat out
0:07:31 > 0:07:33on Science but you didn't quite make it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37And he is now in the final. And, I'm sorry to say, you're not.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Both of you, come back and rejoin us here.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The challengers have lost one brain
0:07:41 > 0:07:45from the final round while the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47The next subject for you is Geography.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Which challenger wants this?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't know whether you want to go for this or not, Pat.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I can if you want?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I feel OK about going for it
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but you've specified that you want to do it.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- I can do it. - You'd be better at Geography.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Jeremy, I'm going to go for geography.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05OK, Matthew against anyone but Pat. Geography. Who looks...?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I don't know, I don't know whether CJ is good.- Don't think so. CJ.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Let's go CJ.- OK. Yeah, maybe CJ, I think.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17He's on a run with geography at the moment, actually.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I've been playing it an awful lot.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Matt from X Appeal against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Just to ensure there's no conferring, please,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27then go to the Question Room.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'll ask three questions, multiple-choice, Matt,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think I'll do the same as Elaine
0:08:33 > 0:08:35and go for the first set, please.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Here we go, Matt, good luck. The county of Cumbria has a coastline on which body of water?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52OK, I'm trying to visualise it in my head. At the moment.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Um.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's not the English Channel because that's between France
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and the south of England.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I think it's the west side, it's above Manchester.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I'm going to go for the Irish Sea, I think, Jeremy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Nicely done. You got there. Irish Sea is correct.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13CJ, your question.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17U-shaped and V-shaped are types of which geographical feature?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Presumably, they are shaped like that
0:09:26 > 0:09:28because of the forces that created them.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Presumably, a U-shaped would be caused by a glaciation.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35So, I'd think they're valleys.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Valleys is correct.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Back to you, Matt.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Marchmont and Portobello are areas of which UK capital?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49For some reason, Edinburgh's in my head.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'll just see if I can get rid of the other two.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I've been to Edinburgh.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57My mind's gone blank on whether I've actually,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59kind of, seen those places on a map
0:09:59 > 0:10:02but I think I'm going to go with Edinburgh, I think, Jeremy.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Well done. Edinburgh is correct. Playing well, Matt.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10CJ, the Masai Mara Reserve borders which national park?
0:10:13 > 0:10:18It's not Kruger. I don't know where Chobe is.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Well, Serengeti's in the right area so I'll have to go for that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You've got it right. Serengeti it is.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Third question. Try and get this right, Matt.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The Republic of Vanuatu is in which region
0:10:32 > 0:10:34of the Pacific Ocean?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The only one I think I've heard of, unless I'm making this up,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I think, is Polynesia.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I could sit here for about half an hour
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and still, probably, only go will that guess.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I'm going to have to go with Polynesia.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I'm afraid it's wrong, it's Melanesia.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57CJ, your question to take the round.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Which river joins the Euphrates to form the Shatt-al-Arab?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I don't know the name of the area you described.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14The Tigris, I believe, does join the Euphrates.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Um.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I don't know, I'll go for the obvious and hope it's the Tigris.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23You've got it spot-on, CJ. Well done.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You've taken the round as well.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Matt, you've been knocked out and you won't be in the final.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Please, both of you, come back to your teams now.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So, the challengers have lost two brains now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The Eggheads have still not lost a brain
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and the next subject is Film & TV. Who would like this?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- I think it's really obvious.- I think I'll go. Obviously, no pressure.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I think we'll have to go with Phil, seeing as he teaches it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Exactly, I thought you would, actually.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51So, Phil, against which Egghead?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- What do you think?- Judith, maybe. - Judith, yeah.- Yeah, I'm OK with that.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- OK. I think we're going to go for Judith.- Right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Phil from X Appeal against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Do, if you can, go to the Question Rooms now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Let's see how we go here.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Three questions on Film & Television. And, Phil,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12choose the first or second set of questions.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Absolutely the first, please.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Here we go.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22In the 1963 film The Great Escape, which actor tries to get away
0:12:22 > 0:12:27from the Germans by jumping a motorcycle over a barbed wire fence?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Well, I can't imagine Richard Attenborough doing that,
0:12:35 > 0:12:40to be honest, the cuddly, old guy from Jurassic Park.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Donald Pleasence, no.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I remember the iconic image, I used to have a poster of it, actually.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So, I'm going to say Steve McQueen.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Is this the one with the baseball glove?- This is the one.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Steve McQueen is the right answer, well done.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Judith, which children's programme, which began in the 1970s,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00featured a puppet called Zippy?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I don't know. I can't remember any children's programmes, ever.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I think it might have been...
0:13:15 > 0:13:20It's always, the first question's always an obvious one. Magpie.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm afraid you're wrong. Rainbow is the right answer.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Catastrophic answer from Judith, there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Phil, which actor played Julian Chapman in Casualty
0:13:30 > 0:13:33and Paul Dangerfield in Dangerfield?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41You see, Michael French, I think he was in Eastenders as well
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and then went into Casualty.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46But I'm not sure if he was Dangerfield or not.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But Clive Mantle is ringing a bell for me, also.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I think I'm going to go with Clive Mantle.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57You were bouncing around between two wrong answers.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- It was Nigel Le Vaillant. - Fair enough.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01What can you tell us about Mr Le Vaillant?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- You've mentioned it all in the question.- Yes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06If he's watching, he'll be devastated.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK, so, Judith, your chance to catch up.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Which actress played Mickey Rourke's love interest
0:14:13 > 0:14:16in the 2008 film The Wrestler?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I didn't see it, needless to say.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think it was Mira Sorvino.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I think it wasn't. It was Marisa Tomei.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, that was the one I was going to say.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Phil, your question.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42The TV series The Beiderbecke Affair and its sequels
0:14:42 > 0:14:44were works by which writer, Phil?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Could I have the last question? Is that OK?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Can we swap those around?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I don't think it's Alan Bennett.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Alan Plater, I'm not familiar with his work.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04I'm going to say Alan Bleasdale just because I know, I don't think
0:15:04 > 0:15:07it's Bennett and I don't really know Plater, so Bleasdale.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's not Alan Bleasdale, it's Alan Plater.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18So, it's one point to you and it's zero to you, Judith.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I think they might be obscure questions, don't you?- They might be.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Here's your question.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Peter Capaldi played Oldsen and Denis Lawson played Urquhart
0:15:28 > 0:15:32in which 1983 British film?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40I don't know.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44High Hopes. High Hopes, that's a good...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48High Hopes, I have high hopes of High Hopes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Saying it a number of times
0:15:50 > 0:15:52won't make it more likely to be correct, I'm afraid.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56High Hopes is wrong. It's Local Hero. So, well done, Phil.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58You'll support your team in the last round.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01A bit of a breakthrough.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Unusual round with one correct answer.- Yes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Judith, you are knocked out.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07And if you wouldn't mind, both of you, please, come back
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and rejoin your teams.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13The challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16But the Eggheads have, now, lost a brain as well.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The last subject before the final is Politics.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Don't we have somebody who's good on this?- It has to be me.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Would you like to confer? - We'll need you last.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- You know, you're quite good at politics.- You'll be fine.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32We'll stick to our original and have Patrick.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Patrick, OK. And which Egghead would you like to take apart?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- If we could get rid of Kevin. - Try and go for Kevin?- I think so.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- OK, unlikely, but we'll try Kevin, please.- Nice work.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Many players hurl themselves at Kevin
0:16:44 > 0:16:47before the final, just to see if they can knock him out.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51OK, Pat from X Appeal versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Right, three questions on Politics in turn and, Pat,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Well, I'm wondering whether to break with tradition but, I don't know,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I should just go first, really, just like all the others. Follow suit.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Here's your first question. Good luck.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17In 2005, Ed Miliband became MP for which constituency?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Right, well, I think, I know, Bethnal Green,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I was working round there at that time
0:17:28 > 0:17:34and I think Oona King and the George Galloway fight
0:17:34 > 0:17:38was going on at that time, or near enough that time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So, I think George Galloway might have been there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Doncaster North.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's probably more likely to be
0:17:47 > 0:17:50a bit of a Labour stronghold than Oxford East, I think.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So, I think, maybe, it's probably Doncaster North.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Nice work, Doncaster North, it is. Not an easy question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Kevin, which building, opened in 2001,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07was built to provide extra space for MPs and their staff?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's just on the other side of Westminster Bridge Road
0:18:16 > 0:18:19from the Houses of Parliament and it's Portcullis House.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Portcullis House is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Back to you, Patrick.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Between 2001 and 2007,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Julia Hartley-Brewer served as the political editor
0:18:30 > 0:18:31of which newspaper?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39News of the World, I do, sometimes, read the News of the World
0:18:39 > 0:18:43to get the football scores and, inevitably, you do flick through
0:18:43 > 0:18:47other pages as well and I've never seen that name before.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51So, I think going to rule out the News of the World.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56I think the Mail, I always associate with a certain type of person.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59If I can remember the question you just asked me,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03the woman had a double-barrelled surname. Is that correct?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Julia Hartley-Brewer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yeah, and I think, for that reason,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm going to go for the Mail on Sunday.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Your answer is?- The Mail on Sunday. - Mail on Sunday, OK.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- No, that's wrong, actually. It is the Sunday Express.- Right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So you got that one wrong. Kevin, your question.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23According to one version of his last words,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26which prime minister died with veal pies on his mind?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Yeah.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yeah, as you say, it's one of those famous last words
0:19:36 > 0:19:39with more than one version of what he said at the end.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42He's supposed to have said, "I think I could eat one of Bellamy's
0:19:42 > 0:19:44"veal pies." It's William Pitt the Younger.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48William Pitt the Younger is quite right. Well done.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50OK. Patrick,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52you need to get this one right, now.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58In 2002, which children's TV favourite appeared before
0:19:58 > 0:20:02a congressional committee to urge more spending on music in schools?
0:20:12 > 0:20:17SpongeBob SquarePants was, probably, at his peak,
0:20:17 > 0:20:18maybe, in the early noughties.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I think, maybe, SpongeBob, I'm going to go for, Jeremy, please.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It wasn't SpongeBob SquarePants. It was Elmo, Patrick.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Which means, I'm afraid, you have been knocked out by Kevin.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Return to us and we will play the final round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37This is what we've been playing towards, it is time
0:20:37 > 0:20:39for the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:42 > 0:20:44won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47So, Matt, Elaine and Pat from X Appeal and also
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Judith from the Eggheads, would you please, now, leave the studio.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Terry and Phil, you are playing to win X Appeal £7,000.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you are playing for something
0:21:01 > 0:21:04that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13So, Terry and Phil, the question is
0:21:13 > 0:21:17are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Would you like to go first or second?- Let's stick to going first.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Continue the tradition, we'll go first.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29All right, all the best to you both. In 2010,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Karren Brady became vice-chairman of which football club?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- It's West Ham, isn't it? - I'm pretty certain it's West Ham.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I saw her. I think she was on The Apprentice
0:21:42 > 0:21:44talking about that. I think it's West Ham.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Yes, we're going with West Ham.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48West Ham United is correct.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54The Irish name Seamus is the equivalent of which English name?
0:21:58 > 0:22:04- James.- James.- Is it?- James. That's James.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06James is the right answer, Daphne, well done.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Back to you two.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12What type of craftsman is most associated with Flemish bond
0:22:12 > 0:22:13and English bond?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- It's some sort of pattern or something.- OK.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- I don't think it's windows so not a glazier.- Tiling.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I think it's either tiling or bricklaying.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27And I think I've heard of this,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- I think the different ways that you can lay lines of bricks.- OK.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Let's say bricklaying. - We'll say bricklayer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Bricklayer's absolutely right, well done.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, Eggheads,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43let's see if you stumble, fall off your wall.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46In Greek mythology, who cleaned the Augean Stables?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It was the first of Heracles's 12 labours, wasn't it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- It wasn't the first.- No?- Yeah. That's Heracles.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02That is correct, it's Heracles. Well done.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05OK. If you get this one right,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07we've seen it happen many times before,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11the Eggheads, they look cool but they start to sweat.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Just get this one right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17The Potala Palace is the former home of which spiritual leader?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- It's P-O-T-A-L-A, as you'd expect. - Potala Palace.- The Potala Palace.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The Dalai Lama, I don't know why but I've got an idea.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32You've got an idea.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- I've an idea it's the Dalai Lama.- You've an idea?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- For some reason I can't explain. - OK.- Shall I say?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- I'm happy to go with that, yeah. - We'll try the Dalai Lama.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Can you explain your glimmer, Terry?- Not really.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm almost sure it's not the Pope.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I don't know about, I've just, something at the back of my mind.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54I just feel it's the Dalai Lama.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59You're absolutely right. Three out of three for your team.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So, if they get this wrong, you've won £7,000.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You wouldn't need to do any more work at all, run out the studio,
0:24:05 > 0:24:06I'll explain to them.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- We don't know where they are.- We're going to Mexico.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10They'd go to the Potala Palace.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Eggheads, it's you. You get this wrong, it's over.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Which American humorist wrote The Devil's Dictionary?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Ambrose Bierce.- Yes.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Ambrose Bierce.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Correct. Ambrose Bierce is right.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Three points each, you're playing well -
0:24:33 > 0:24:35both teams and both of you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It goes to Sudden Death.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Who wrote the 1956 novel Pincher Martin?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's the same man who wrote the Lord Of The Flies.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Who wrote the Lord Of The Flies? - It's about a seaman who drowns.- OK.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55And it kind of goes back through his life as he's drowning.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's William Golding.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01That is correct. Well done.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Eggheads, you get this wrong, they've won £7,000.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Whose recording of Answer Me
0:25:09 > 0:25:15was banned by the BBC in 1953 for including the phrase "Lord above"?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Well, I tell you where that's nasty. - Why?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Because there were two versions
0:25:28 > 0:25:31which, I think, both got to number one in the charts.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Oh, Lord.- Of that song.- Yes. - In 1953.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- There was Frankie Laine and there was David Whitfield.- Yes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Ah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, shall we think about this logically, then?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- If it's Frankie Laine or David Whitfield, you say?- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Frankie Laine is...- The bigger name. - ..the bigger name.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54And the most known. We don't know it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57If both of them were cover versions in that year,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I think we have to give for Frankie Laine.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- That probably makes sense.- OK.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Well, we are debating between Frankie Laine and David Whitfield
0:26:09 > 0:26:12but we feel it's Frankie Laine.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16OK. You've said Frankie Laine as your answer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20You're absolutely right, Frankie Laine is the answer. Well done.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Respect to that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24So, Sudden Death, hang on in there because, as you see,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26you can be an ace away from it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Here's your question. What is the lowest prime number over 1,000?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Take your time.- Don't need to rush. No need to rush. Just think.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42There's no way you can work that out, is there?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Could be 1,003.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- What makes you think that? - 1,001 is seven times 11 times 13.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- It's not a prime.- OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It could be 1,003. It's obviously not 1,005
0:26:54 > 0:26:55cos that's divisible by five.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- I don't know.- Yes.- I'd say 1,003.- Right, yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- You can't do them in your head without a calculator.- No.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04That's good logic.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06We'll try 1,003.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10I'm sorry it's not a prime. What do you think is?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- I'd have gone for 1,001.- No. That's not a prime either.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- 1,007.- Nope.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It's 1,009.- Oh.- Right. - That's surprising.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26The lowest prime number over 1,000 is 1,009.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28All right.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30So, you're in their hands now, bad luck.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Eggheads, what was the name of the American cooking expert, author
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and television personality
0:27:38 > 0:27:41whose championing of traditional French cooking
0:27:41 > 0:27:45was chronicled in the 2009 film Julie & Julia?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Julia Child.- Julia Child. - Julia Child.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Child or Childs? - Child, yes.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54She's Julia Child.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58You're absolutely right. It is Julia Child.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So, congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Bad luck. I sense the tension on your side.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11You were playing really well, really well.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- And you came very close. - Prime numbers.- Yeah.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19I think we're all going, you're going to go back with a calculator.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and their winning streak continues.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £7,000.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Which means that that money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40£8,000 says they don't.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
