0:00:03 > 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 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers attempt to beat
0:00:28 > 0:00:33possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their pedigree is well-known as they have won
0:00:33 > 0:00:37some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Taking on our quiz Goliaths today are The Halse Players.
0:00:42 > 0:00:49They are in an amateur dramatics group based in Halse in Somerset. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Rod, I'm 63 and I'm a salesman.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 59 and I'm a company director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Dawn, I'm 40 and a transportation engineer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm Barrie, I'm 62 and a retired accountant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello. I'm Matt, I'm 45 and a civil servant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Rod and team, welcome. You all put on plays in Somerset.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- That's correct. North of Taunton. - Is it just actors we've got here or a variety?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- There's four actors and one supporter.- What are you rehearsing?
0:01:23 > 0:01:31- John Mortimer's A Voyage Round My Father.- Which is a great play. Is that a one/two person operation?
0:01:31 > 0:01:38- You mean...- People on stage. - No, there's a total of about, with small parts, five or six.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- And it's fun to do it? - It's hard work, but rewarding, hopefully, in the end, yes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:51- Do you put it on at the same place each time?- Yes, the village hall. - Is that where you quiz as well?
0:01:51 > 0:01:57We do have quizzes there. Also in the local pub, which we participate in.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Are these Eggheads legends in Halse? - Oh, yes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- They're legends in the minds of some of us!- That's good enough for us!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14If they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19So, Halse Players, the Eggheads have won the last 10 games,
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- That means £11,000 says you can't beat them. Like to try?- Oh, yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29The first Head to Head is on Arts and Books. Who would like this?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Perfect, isn't it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Right. How do we go? What's part of our strategy?
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- That this wouldn't come up first! - That was our strategy!- It was.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44There's a problem here.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I think, yes... - I'm the fall guy, am I?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- OK. - Good luck, Matt.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Matt, choose one of them.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- Em, Barrie, give us a clue. - I would go for Barry.- Barry.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Barrie says Barry.- Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06So Matt takes on Barry from the Eggheads on Arts and Books.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions in turn. Whoever answers the most is the winner
0:03:18 > 0:03:24- and goes through to the final. Matt, first or second set? - I'll take the first set, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:34In 2010, which leading London gallery exhibited Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's work Sunflower Seeds,
0:03:34 > 0:03:41that consisted of 100 million imitation porcelain sunflower seeds spread across a large floorspace?
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I seem to remember that. I believe that was Tate Modern.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Tate Modern is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- You could walk on them. - Until Health and Safety...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- What was the issue? - Hindrance and Sabotage!
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- What was the issue? - The dust coming up.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Barry, The Sign of Four is the title of the second novel featuring which detective?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's Sherlock Holmes. Not much else you can say.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Sherlock Holmes is right. That was the basis of one of the remakes on television recently.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30OK, Matt, the best-selling novelist Sidney Sheldon was born in which country?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Having lived in South Africa I don't remember him as an author.
0:04:38 > 0:04:45Between the other two, I'll have to plump for one and I'll plump for New Zealand.
0:04:45 > 0:04:51You plumped the wrong way. He's American. USA is the answer.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Barry, to go ahead.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58In which career did Scottish artist Jack Vettriano begin working life?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh, what an excellent question.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I can't imagine him being a farmhand somehow.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Of the other two, I'll go for mining engineer.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well done. You've got it right. I don't know how you did it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18So over to you, Matt.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24You need this. In the 1960s, what name was given to conceptual art events,
0:05:24 > 0:05:30pioneered by Allan Kaprow and others, that prefigured performance art?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Once again, you've caught me on the hop,
0:05:37 > 0:05:42but something's drawing me to Happenings.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Is that your answer?- Yes, it is. - Happenings is correct.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52Well done. It's like what we have now with flashmobbing, don't we?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Barry, your question. Get this and you're in the final.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Which American author's works include The Invention of Solitude?
0:06:05 > 0:06:11I don't think it's John Updike. He was more famous for the Harry Angstrom Rabbit novels.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And The Witches of Eastwick.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20I've never heard of that in connection with Philip Roth, so I'll go for Paul Auster.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Paul Auster is the right answer. Well done.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Sorry, Matt. You're knocked out. Barry will be in the final.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Both please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37The challengers have lost one brain while the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The next subject is Science.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Have we got a scientist here?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Yes, but he's just played!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Now I understand. - I'll volunteer myself for that.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Dawn, how are you on science? - I'm not good.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Go for it.- It's me. - Rod. Against which Egghead?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Anyone but Barry.- If sport comes up, it's Judith or Chris.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08- OK. Give us a recommendation, then. - Judith, I think.- Judith?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Judith, please.- Some very mean tactics being discussed here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- OK, interesting. - I couldn't hear!
0:07:15 > 0:07:22It's better that you didn't hear. So it's Rod from the Halse Players against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34I'll ask each of you three questions on science in turn. Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Rod, the first or second set? - First, please.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Here we go.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46Good luck. Which colour did Isaac Newton identify between blue and violet,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50often omitted in descriptions of the visible spectrum?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Right. Em... The simple answer is that I don't know.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- And I will go for fuchsia. - Er, it's not. It's indigo.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Is it? - That famous Richard of York...
0:08:05 > 0:08:12- Gave battle in vain. - Red, orange, yellow... - Green, blue, indigo, violet.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15No one talks about indigo any more.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Judith,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21which creatures form the biological class called aves?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Is that A with a V after it? - It's simply spelt A-V-E-S.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- A-V for violet. - A-V for violet-E-S. Aves.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Aves. Birds. - Birds is correct.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Rod, back to you.
0:08:39 > 0:08:46The corpus callosum, which takes its name from the Latin for tough body, is in which part of the human body?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I will...
0:08:51 > 0:08:57- I would say that's the stomach. - Stomach is your answer?- It is.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Let me ask the Eggheads. - It's the brain.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06It's the connected fibres that connect the two hemispheres.
0:09:06 > 0:09:13Very interestingly, Kim Peek, who Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man was based upon, didn't have this,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18which is very rare. So it might be to do with both halves developing independently,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- which provides all that knowledge for autistic savants.- Fascinating.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Brain is the answer, Rod.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Judith, your question.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32In which year did the leading physicist Lord Kelvin state that,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible"?
0:09:40 > 0:09:46I think heavier-than-air flying machines had taken off by 1895, hadn't they?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- So I imagine it must be 1875. - 1875 is your answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57They'd taken off by 1915, but not by 1895, which was when Lord Kelvin said it.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What's the first? Bleriot?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- The Wright brothers in 1903. - The first aeroplane flew when?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- 1903, Judith, I'm told. The Wright brothers.- Right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14So it had to have a 19 in front of it to be airborne. Rod, she's got one wrong. That's handy.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21Put the pressure on. In kilometres per second, what is the approximate escape velocity required
0:10:21 > 0:10:26at the surface of the Earth to leave the planet's gravitational field?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Is it... This is kilometres per second.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- I'd say that's 0.1. - You say 0.1 kilometres per second? - I do.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- No, it's 11.- Well, there you go.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Is that fast, 11km per second?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- That's very fast. - 100 miles per hour?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56No, is it 17,500 miles per hour? Something like that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Rod, the answer is 11 and so there's no way back for you.
0:11:00 > 0:11:07Judith, you will be in the final. Do both of you please come back here and let's play the next round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14The challengers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads still haven't lost a brain.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The next subject is History. Which of you would like it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:24- Barrie, Dawn or Andy? - Andy's just said, "That'll be me," So...- A volunteer. Good.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- Andy, OK. Against? - What do you reckon? Daphne?
0:11:29 > 0:11:35- I'd like to play against Daphne. I wouldn't mind losing to Daphne. - Andy would like to play Daphne.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40All right, Andy from the Halse Players against Daphne
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and to ensure there's no conferring please take your positions now.
0:11:44 > 0:11:52- I'll ask each of you three questions on history. Andy, the first or second set?- I'll take the second.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Let's see how this goes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:05Thutmose the First was the ruler of which ancient empire in about 1500BC?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12He was one of the Egyptian pharaohs.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16He was indeed. Egyptian is right, Daphne.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18OK, Andy, your question.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22What was the main use of the Byzantine invention of Greek fire?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Forging steel doesn't seem to come into it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Em, the Byzantines wouldn't have been into heating their palaces.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40They probably were hot enough. The Romans only got into that
0:12:40 > 0:12:46when they came to cold places like Britain, so I think it's a device for attacking ships.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Attacking ships is spot-on. Well done. Daphne, back to you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57In 1619, King James I established a factory at Mortlake near London for the manufacture of what?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It was tapestries.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- How do you know that?- Em... - You've been there?- No.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- I just obviously read it somewhere. - That's your answer to everything.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Tapestries is the right answer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Andy, back to you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23She's not thrown off that easily. The Radcliffe Line was drawn up
0:13:23 > 0:13:27to form the border between which two countries?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I don't know the answer to this one.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Em...
0:13:36 > 0:13:40The border between Canada and USA is a line of latitude anyway.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Em, Poland and Germany I think are divided by a river.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So I'm going to say India and Pakistan.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54That is completely right. Nice one.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Daphne,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58two-all at the moment.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05The 15th-century leader known as Skanderbeg became a national hero for which country?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10That's Albania.
0:14:10 > 0:14:17Albania is the right answer! You're very good, I have to say.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20You've not lost it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26The members of which noble family were the hereditary rulers of the Italian city of Mantua
0:14:26 > 0:14:29between 1328 and 1708?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Another one I don't know.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Now, do they all sound Italian?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47The ones that end in "a" sound less Italian than the others.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'm going to go for Farnese,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53but it is an outright guess.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57There is a bit of logic and deduction there.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Let's see if Daphne knows that one.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- Gonzaga.- Gonzaga is the right answer, Andy.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I'm afraid she's taken the round
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and you're knocked out. Please rejoin your teams.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17So the challengers have lost three brains from the final round whilst the Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20The last subject before the final is Film & TV.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I think this is good for actors.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Yes, it is.- So who would like this? - Dawn would like this. - Dawn would love this!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- LAUGHTER Yes, she would.- You'd love it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Who do you want to pick? Who do you think?- Um...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Chris, I think.- Chris.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- Chris.- OK, Dawn from The Halse Players against Chris, the Egghead.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46To make sure there's no conferring, go to the question room.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52- Three questions on Film & TV in turn and Dawn, you can choose the first or the second set.- I'll go first.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Here we go. The plot of the 2010 film Made In Dagenham is concerned
0:16:00 > 0:16:03with events in which type of establishment?
0:16:06 > 0:16:11I don't know the film, but I do know there's a car factory in Dagenham,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13so I'll go for car factory.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Car factory is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Chris, your question.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Sophie Raworth became a well-known television personality in which role?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Well, I only know her as a newsreader,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34so that's what I'll go with - newsreader.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I'm so relieved you got that right. Newsreader is right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42If you'd said "comedian", I don't know what I would have said to her.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48Who wrote and presented the four-part TV documentary series, The American Future: A History?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I don't think it was Richard Dawkins
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'll guess at Neil Oliver.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Let me ask your team. Do you know, team?
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- I'd have gone for Schama.- Schama is the right answer, not Neil Oliver.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10OK, Chris, over to you, your chance to take the lead.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Who starred opposite Ellen Barkin in the 1989 thriller, Sea Of Love?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25It doesn't sound like my kind of film at all.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Ellen Barkin and Dustin Hoffman, no.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Robert De Niro, Ellen Barkin, no.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'll use the Judith method - Al Pacino.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Incredible.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- So the Keppel technique... - Always works.- ..has worked for you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Al Pacino is the right answer. Going down the right.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52How do they do that?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Down the right, but not all the time.- No, very selective.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00It's a certain moment you'll do it and it will always work.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07- You say it's not your kind of film and I know you haven't been to the cinema...- Since Blazing Saddles.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- It is a great film, that.- Is it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:14So the situation is this, Dawn. Chris has two and you have one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You need to get this one right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:23- Yeah.- Which actor played a successio of leading roles in biblical epics,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27including Samson in Samson And Delilah in 1949
0:18:27 > 0:18:31and Demetrius in The Robe in 1953?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I just... I don't know the answer.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Um...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I'll go with the right-hand side as that works for the Eggheads.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I'll go for Charlton Heston.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Charlton Heston was in a lot of biblical stuff.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- He was in Ben-Hur and all that. - And El Cid.- El Cid.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57This one, though, was Victor Mature.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- OK.- Victor Mature, Samson and Demetrius...
0:19:01 > 0:19:05A black-and-white Hollywood actor we're talking about.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11A long time ago. Chris, you've won the round. Dawn, sorry, you haven't and you won't be in the final.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Let us play the final now. Both of you please come back to us.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20This is what we've been playing towards - the final round, as always, General Knowledge.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:19:25 > 0:19:31so, Rod, Andy, Dawn and Matt from The Halse Players, would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:31 > 0:19:36So, Barrie, you're not one of the actors in The Halse Players, is that right?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39No, I'm one of their groupies.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- One of their supporters.- I meet them in the bar afterwards.- They're not supporting you now.- Bunch of losers!
0:19:45 > 0:19:52Well, you can still turn it around for them. You're playing to win The Halse Players £11,000.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It'll be interesting to see how it's split if you get it!
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith, you are playing for the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions, all on General Knowledge.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10You are allowed to confer, or at least, they are. They've got people to confer with.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Barrie, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Good luck. It's been done before.
0:20:23 > 0:20:30At which football tournament was the England team involved in the "dentist's chair" celebration?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Ooh! I can remember it, I know what it is.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And not something I'd want to go through.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47I think Italia '90 was a bit early.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52And I wasn't actually watching it in USA '94,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55so I would have to go for Euro '96.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Euro '96 is the right answer. Well done. Eggheads, over to you.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05In the USA, G-Man is a term particularly used for employees of which organisation?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- FBI?- FBI, Government Man.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- FBI?- Yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Hoover was in charge of the FBI.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- FBI?- Eliot Ness and all that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23We think that's FBI, Government Men.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27FBI is the right answer. One each. Back to you, Barrie.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32A snickersnee is an archaic term for a type of what?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I think I've only heard of "snickersnee"
0:21:39 > 0:21:42in relationship to Alice In Wonderland,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46which I think was one of the phrases in that,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49so I'd have to go for a knife.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You kind of grimaced when I said the word
0:21:52 > 0:21:54as if the question was a low blow.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00- Hmm.- But then you got it absolutely right. Well done. Knife, it is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Eggheads, how is the letter "A" expressed in Morse Code?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Dot dash.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Dot dash.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I'm assured by my Morse Code operative that it's "dot dash".
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Well done, Daphne. "Dot dash" it is. Would you have got that?
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- No.- If you don't know it, you really don't know it, so it's good you went first.
0:22:29 > 0:22:36- You've had two questions and you've got two right. They couldn't have asked any more.- That's my average.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Get this one right and you put some pressure on them.
0:22:41 > 0:22:48The French recipe "hachis parmentier" is most similar to which traditional English dish?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Can you spell the words?
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Sure. H-A-C-H-I-S, that's the first word - "hachis".
0:23:02 > 0:23:06"Parmentier" - P-A-R-M-E-N-T-I-E-R.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm guessing that...
0:23:10 > 0:23:14it's something associated with mashed potatoes,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18so I'll rule out steak and kidney pudding.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I'm not sure if the French have got an equivalent of shepherd's pie.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29But I think I will go for shepherd's pie.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32It's interesting the way you did that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37You got the mashed potato thought, you ruled out steak and kidney,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41you swerved away from shepherd's pie, then you came back on to it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Shepherd's pie is right. Three out of three.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49What that means is, looking at the expectation behind you here,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53if they get this wrong, you've won £11,000.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59You don't have to do any more. However, you are ranged against all the Eggheads.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Here's your question. Who was design assistant to Stella McCartney
0:24:04 > 0:24:07before succeeding her as creative director
0:24:07 > 0:24:10for the fashion house Chloe in 2001?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Phoebe Philo.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Are you sure?- Absolutely sure.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27That's Phoebe Philo, Jeremy.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- That came from Judith, did it? A sudden answer?- No, I knew it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35The correct answer is Phoebe Philo. Very well played.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40So, three-all, we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46It's not multiple choice. You have to give me the answer. I don't give you options. It's that bit harder.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51First time in this game we've been on Sudden Death. You're playing really well.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57Which former international rugby union player, who made his full England debut in 1997,
0:24:57 > 0:25:02shares his name with a British sports car maker which was set up in the 1950s?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Oh, that would be Austin Healey.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Austin Healey is the right answer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Eggheads, get this wrong and they've won £11,000.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19What You See Is What You Get is a 2010 autobiography by which businessman?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Alan Sugar, I think.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- It sounds like his sort of thing. - I think he's right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Yeah?- I'm happy with that.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30We think that might be Alan Sugar.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Alan Sugar is correct. Sudden Death. £11,000 we're playing for.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Back to you, Barrie. In 1972,
0:25:37 > 0:25:43the monarch of which Asian country declared that his nation's priority was its gross national happiness
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and not its gross domestic product?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I think that was Bhutan.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It was Bhutan. Very well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Excellent.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00You've got five in a row correct, so credit to you for that. Let's see if they fall over now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04The operators of the first successful co-operative store
0:26:04 > 0:26:08were known as the Pioneers of which town in northern England?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Rochdale.- Rochdale.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Rochdale, Jeremy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20In December 1844, a group of 28 weavers opened their store
0:26:20 > 0:26:26in Toad Lane, Rochdale, with a capital of £28. Rochdale is the right answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Phew!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We need a break from this. It's tense.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK, your question, Barrie.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Which famous acting teacher was nominated for an Oscar
0:26:37 > 0:26:40for his performance as Hyman Roth
0:26:40 > 0:26:43in The Godfather: Part II?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46HE SIGHS
0:26:46 > 0:26:52I'm afraid I have no idea. I don't have any acting teachers at all.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I can't even hazard a guess.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02I vaguely remember there's an acting teacher beginning with H. I can't even recall that.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- So I'm afraid I'm... - You want to pass?- I'll pass.- OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:14- Let's see if they know. - Lee Strasberg.- Lee Strasberg is the answer. You haven't lost yet.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Eggheads, you've got to get this one right to win.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Which British economist wrote the 1817 book
0:27:22 > 0:27:26entitled On The Principles Of Political Economy And Taxation?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- David Ricardo?- Ricardo. - David Ricardo.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It was David Ricardo, not Adam Smith
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- David Ricardo.- 1817 is a little early for Adam Smith.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Adam Smith is the only one I know. - David Ricardo.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43We think that's David Ricardo.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50The British economist who wrote that book is David Ricardo. Congratulations. You've won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Bad luck. You played great at the end there.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04Sometimes the challengers get the first Sudden Death question right and that's the end of it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- So, commiserations. Have you enjoyed it?- It was a good day. - It's been great to have you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15Well done. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20You won't be going home with £11,000 which rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 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£12,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
