0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the Coalition.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42As their name suggests,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46this team features members of two separate groups coming together.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49In the case of this particular coalition, it's two families
0:00:49 > 0:00:52combined by the marriage of team members Dave and Fran.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53So let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Melody, I'm 59, and I'm a pastoral support manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 21, and I'm a student, studying acting.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Fran, I'm 22, and I'm training to be a teacher.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 23, and I'm a learning support assistant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Helen, I'm 53, and I'm a social worker.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- So Melody, welcome.- Thank you. - And team, of course.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And it's Dave and Fran just here.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- You're married, that's the crucial thing?- Yes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24And then the two mums, Helen on the other end, one of the mums. OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- And Melody, and then, you're the brother of Fran.- Yeah, that's right.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31So the marriage at the middle, Fran and Dave, have you got a plan
0:01:31 > 0:01:35of who takes what so you don't fall out with each other?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Um, not really. We have really opposite knowledge.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41He's all very science-y and food and drink,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and I know nothing about that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And you know about your music and arts and books and all that?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Attempting geography, but... - No, that's good.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Being very different on that, firstly, is good for life, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57But it's also good for Eggheads as well, so good luck to you.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Every day £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers, however,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03as you know, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:03 > 0:02:05the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, Coalition, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won
0:02:08 > 0:02:13the last 12 games, so £13,000 is on the table,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and it says you can't beat the Eggheads today!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18First head-to-head battle is History.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20THEY GROAN
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Who wants History?- Nobody!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- DAVE:- Right, um, what shall we do? - I know nothing about history.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I think Dave or Nick, probably.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I'm in danger of failing miserably, but I will...- Go, go, go!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- You can do it!- So Dave from the Coalition, against which Egghead?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- I'd go for CJ.- Really? - I'd go for CJ, myself.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- OK, sure. CJ, I'll take.- Dave from the Coalition, CJ from the Eggheads,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51CJ, you've had a haircut!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, it was to try and streamline myself for a quick getaway.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And this is in preparation for a film role, I gather,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59in Last of the Mohicans?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Yes, it is. I want to give as fearsome an appearance as I can.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK, well, you are looking frightening. I can confirm that.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, well done to the hairdresser. Dave, don't be put off by him.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14History is the subject, so you can choose whether you want the first
0:03:14 > 0:03:16or the second set of multiple choice questions.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21I am not sure how much difference it'll make, but I'll go first.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Here we go, Dave, good luck to you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27The heavily-armed German cruisers built in the 1930s
0:03:27 > 0:03:31to circumvent limitations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34were commonly known as what?
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Trying to think what would be in the Versailles.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I'm leaning towards basket frigates, even though that sounds nothing like
0:03:51 > 0:03:55a battleship, but then, that might be a good thing.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Um, yeah, OK, I'll go with basket frigates.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's not basket frigates. Eggheads, help us here?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04ALL: Pocket battleships.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Pocket battleships, so they were doing the work of battleships,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10but technically too small to be covered by the Treaty.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Is that right, Barry?- Correct, yes. - OK, CJ, your chance to go ahead.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Elizabeth Talbot, wife of the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19was known by what name?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Well, Bess is a name normally associated with Elizabeth,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and Bess of Hardwick is reasonably well-known,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34so let's go for Bess of Hardwick.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Bess of Hardwick is correct.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39OK, Dave, your question.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43When Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte became Emperor
0:04:43 > 0:04:49of the French in 1852, what regnal name and number did he assume?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Right, OK.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Napoleon the...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Napoleon III.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Anyone know on your team?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- I think that's what I'd have gone for.- You're right.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Melody's right, you're right, Dave. Well done. Napoleon III it is!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Good stuff!- Great! - CJ, your question.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20The train ambushed in the infamous 1963 Great Train Robbery
0:05:20 > 0:05:22commenced its journey in which city?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm going to try Glasgow.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Glasgow is the right answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Well done. So Dave you need to get this one right,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40otherwise you will be knocked out.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Which Holy Roman Emperor drowned while trying to cross
0:05:43 > 0:05:47the Saleph River on a crusade to the Holy Land in 1190?
0:05:53 > 0:05:59Early-Roman, so I can presume Otto is from the Ottoman Empire,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01which wouldn't be Roman.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07Maximilian certainly sounds like a Roman kind of name.
0:06:07 > 0:06:14Frederick, I'm not sure, so I'm going to have another stab at Maximilian.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- The answer is Frederick.- Right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Dave, sorry, you've been knocked out by CJ
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and his frightening haircut, and you won't be in the final, and CJ,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28you will. Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29As it stands,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33the challengers have lost that one brain from the final round.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Now, who from the challengers will be playing in this one?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- We all look to Mum.- Helen. - I think that will be me.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- OK, Helen on Arts and Books, against which Egghead?- Can't be CJ.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I think, on the basis of his lovely Irish accent,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm going to go for Pat, please.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Right, so Helen from the Coalition versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03OK, so we're going to do Arts and Books now, and Helen, you can
0:07:03 > 0:07:06choose the first or the second set of multiple choice questions.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Could I have the first set, please?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Here we go, and good luck Helen.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Which French term translates as "workshop,"
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and specifically refers to the studio of an artist or sculptor?
0:07:25 > 0:07:33OK, erm, I think it may be atelier, which I believe is French for attic,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38because artists quite often worked in an attic.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I'm going to go for atelier.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Atelier is the right answer, well done.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Pat, which famous sculpture is located at the top
0:07:48 > 0:07:52of the Daru staircase at the Louvre?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I had thought that The Thinker was outside. I don't know why.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I don't know much about Laocoon and His Sons.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It sounds like, perhaps, a Bernini work.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I do think the Louvre has the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I think that's in the Louvre.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20So I'm not very confident here,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but I'll go for the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27The Winged Victory of Samothrace is absolutely right, well done.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Impressive amount of knowledge there. So, one point each.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Back to you, Helen. The British illustrator, Martin Handford,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37is the creator of which popular series of children's books?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47OK, I can remember spending many a wet afternoon with my children
0:08:47 > 0:08:52with these books, and it's Where's Wally?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57where you have to scour this very crowded scene for Wally.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- So, my answer is Where's Wally? - Where's Wally? is absolutely right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And did you ever find him before your children? Because I never did!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I think I did a couple of times, yes.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- And the dog, you can only find by the tail!- That's right, yes.- OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Over to you, Pat.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Who would be most likely to use a burin in their daily work?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I think this is sort of like a chisel,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30but it's got a very fine point,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33so my first thought is that it would be an engraver.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Yes, I think it's engraver.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40An engraver does indeed use a burin.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well done, you've got it. So Helen, back to you. If you get this right,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45you put a bit of pressure on Pat.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Which writer became editor of the magazine The Woman's World in 1887?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Gosh. Um...
0:09:58 > 0:10:04I think 1887 would be a little bit early for Rudyard Kipling.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Herman Melville, I don't know why, I think maybe because he wrote a book
0:10:08 > 0:10:12about a big whale, I can't imagine him editing a woman's magazine.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18I think I'm going to go with Oscar Wilde.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Oscar Wilde is your answer. Is she right, Eggheads?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I think it's Kipling.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I thought I knew everything about Oscar Wilde. It's Oscar Wilde!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Yeah! I've never heard about this period of his life. Extraordinary!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33So there we are, well done! Good play!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Brilliant process of elimination there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Pat is under pressure, and if you get this wrong, Pat, you are out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Of whose work did Truman Capote once famously quip,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45"That's not writing, that's typing."
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Well, I suppose he could quip at anybody's expense.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I don't think he'd have quite enough front to say it
0:10:59 > 0:11:00about Joyce or Tolstoy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I think it's about Jack Kerouac, who wrote On the Road
0:11:04 > 0:11:08on what was effectively a giant roll of, well, not quite loo paper,
0:11:08 > 0:11:09but continuous paper.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12So I think it's Jack Kerouac who was at the receiving end
0:11:12 > 0:11:14of Truman's sarcasm.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Jack Kerouac is correct.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Oh, dear, Helen! You nearly had him there and now we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's a little more tricky cos I don't give alternative answers.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Here's your question.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30In September 2010, which BBC news journalist made headlines
0:11:30 > 0:11:34when an overturned lorry left 15 tonnes of his book
0:11:34 > 0:11:40The Making of Modern Britain spread across the A4 Bath road in Theale?
0:11:41 > 0:11:48I hadn't heard about the accident, and I'm not entirely sure,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51just working on a hunch,
0:11:51 > 0:11:56because I think Andrew Marr did a series about modern Britain,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and he's a journalist, obviously,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01so I'm going to say Andrew Marr.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Andrew Marr is the right answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Over to you, Pat. Who took over from Laurence Olivier
0:12:09 > 0:12:13as artistic director of the National Theatre in 1973?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18First thought in my head is Sir Peter Hall.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I'm just trawling around to see
0:12:20 > 0:12:23whether there are any other outstanding candidates.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think the dates are reasonably good for Peter Hall.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Peter Hall is correct.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Helen, Victory Boogie-Woogie is the title of a painting left unfinished
0:12:35 > 0:12:42at the time of which artist's death from pneumonia in New York, in 1944?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43(Oh, gosh!)
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I don't actually know this,
0:12:50 > 0:12:57so I'm going to have to see whether I can put together an educated guess.
0:12:59 > 0:13:05There's the American artist who did a lot of illustrations
0:13:05 > 0:13:09for the Picture Post, I think I'm right in saying,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and I'm just trying to remember his name.
0:13:14 > 0:13:21He did a lot of iconic paintings of American life and particularly
0:13:21 > 0:13:23during the war period.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And I'm desperately trying to remember his name
0:13:27 > 0:13:29and can't think of it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33I can see the paintings,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and I can see he did a self-portrait once,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39so I can see his face,
0:13:39 > 0:13:44and I can visualise the book that my parents
0:13:44 > 0:13:50used to have of his stuff in the house, but can I think of his name?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I just cannot think of his name.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- OK.- I'm sorry, no, it's gone.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- The answer is Piet Mondriaan.- OK, that wasn't what I was thinking of!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Who was it? A great mystery. Who was it, Eggheads?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- EGGHEADS: Norman Rockwell.- Oh, Norman Rockwell you were thinking of?- Yes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- But Mondriaan, is he very modern, like lines and squares?- He also
0:14:15 > 0:14:17painted Broadway Boogie-Woogie a few years earlier.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Pat, your question to take the round.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Which 18th-century painter who reputedly loved pug dogs
0:14:24 > 0:14:26because he thought they looked like him,
0:14:26 > 0:14:31owned a pug called Trump who often appeared in his paintings?
0:14:32 > 0:14:3518th century, 1700s, painter.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I'm not sure that the pug is a particularly English breed,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43but this sort of sounds like an English painter.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Hogarth painted lots and lots of crowded urban scenes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51He could certainly have hidden a dog, quite easily, into them.
0:14:52 > 0:14:58Of course, it could be any one of a dozen 18th-century painters.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I think I'll go for William Hogarth.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05William Hogarth is your answer and it's right!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Sorry, Helen, you've been beaten by our Egghead,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11so you're knocked out, you won't be in the final and Pat will be.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Do, both of you, rejoin your teams, and we'll play on.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20but the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The next subject for you is Sport.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Do we have a sporting brain? - Yes, we do.- Nick.- Nick?- Yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Which means I'm going to get left with something horrible!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- His moment has come!- Don't say that!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Nick against which Egghead? - Um, Judith?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Judith, please.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Sorry!- That isn't even a smile.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Nick from the Coalition versus Judith from the Eggheads, on Sport.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Ha-ha!- So mean!- Favourite subject! And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55So Judith, we're putting a bit of a run together on Sport, again.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Run in the wrong direction, though!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You won a round recently, didn't you? Maybe the last one!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I really can't remember. I put it right out of my mind.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Oh, no, you got a question right. Sorry, I got confused!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Thanks so much, Jeremy!- Sorry! - Honestly(!)
0:16:10 > 0:16:13All right, I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and Nick, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Um, I think I'll go first, please.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Good luck to you and here we go.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Which cricketing statistic is found by dividing a batsman's
0:16:25 > 0:16:29total number of runs by the total number of innings
0:16:29 > 0:16:30in which he was out.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I'm a big cricket fan, actually, um,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42so I'm pretty sure it's the batting average.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well done, batting average is the right answer.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Here we go, Judith.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The golfer, Stewart Cink,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53who won the 2009 Open, was born in which country?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57His surname is spelt C-I-N-K.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Um, I really should know this.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I'm sure I did know it last year.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- I think it's the USA. - I think it is, you're right, USA.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Back to you, Nick.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17In rugby sevens,
0:17:17 > 0:17:22how many players from each side bind together to form a scrum?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Rugby sevens...
0:17:26 > 0:17:31I'm not too knowledgeable in rugby sevens.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm going to go for three, I think.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Anyone here, Eggheads?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- I think it's three.- Three is right. Three is right, Nick, well done!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Good, good stuff.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Judith, which former Scotland international
0:17:46 > 0:17:49resigned as the manager of Middlesbrough football team
0:17:49 > 0:17:52in October 2010, after less than a year in the role.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Well, they're all good Scottish names.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06I think Gordon Strachan, for some reason, rings a bell,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08so I'm going to say him.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Gordon Strachan is the right answer.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14All right, your question now, Nick. See if you can shake her off.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18English swimmer, Liam Tancock, won two gold medals
0:18:18 > 0:18:21at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, swimming which stroke?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Realised I should have done my Commonwealth Games research
0:18:31 > 0:18:32last night.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37All I know is it was in Delhi, which isn't a great help in this,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I don't think.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Um, just going to have to be a wild guess.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'm going to go with butterfly.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- No, it's not butterfly, actually, it's backstroke.- Ah, OK.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Judith, if you get this right, you've won the Sports round
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and your reputation in this particular category will spread throughout the world.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Which South-African-born tennis player won the Australian Open
0:18:59 > 0:19:02in both 1981 and 1982?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Um, again, not quite sure.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Um, I'm going to try Johan Kriek.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- And out of interest, why? Or maybe I shouldn't...?- Cos I think, I mean,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25like the Strachan, it twanged a bell somewhere.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Johan Kriek is the right answer, Judith. You've won the Sport round!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Nick, sorry!- No worries! - How did that happen?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- I don't know. Bit of a disaster, wasn't it?- No, not at all!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- You played well! - I actually knew that one!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Yeah, well, there's something very intuitive about Judith's guessing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Same with Daphne. It's really remarkable.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well done, Judith. You will be in the final round.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Nick, you've been knocked out. Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains now
0:19:54 > 0:19:58from the final round, and the Eggheads have still lost no brains,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01so let's see what you can do with Music. Music is the subject.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03(Yep.)
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- This is Fran, now.- That's me, yeah. - Against which Egghead?- Barry.- OK.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Fran from the Coalition versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14on Music. Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16OK, we're up against Barry here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22and Fran, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23I think I'll go first, please.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Good luck to you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31"There's a little ditty they're singing in the city"
0:20:31 > 0:20:35is a line in the song Oom-Pah-Pah from which musical?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42OK, Oom-Pah-Pah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Um...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'm going to go for Mary Poppins, but I think that's wrong!
0:20:49 > 0:20:50But I'll go for it!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- It is wrong. Anyone on your side know?- Oliver!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Oliver! is the answer, Fran. - Oh! Oh, gosh!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Barry, your question.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01With which characters did Father Abraham reach Number Two
0:21:01 > 0:21:03in the UK Single's Chart in 1978?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Well, the Wombles were a creation of Elisabeth Beresford,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and the Muppets were Jim Henson,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16but Father Abraham is well-known for creating the Smurfs.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18The Smurfs is the right answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Not a particularly nice record.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Fran, what is the title of Phil Collins' debut solo album
0:21:26 > 0:21:28released in 1981?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Um, I do like Phil Collins,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37but I've only ever listened to his greatest hits and stuff,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40so, trying to think. 1981.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Um...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm going to go for No Jacket Required, I don't know why.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46I think, yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49OK, No Jacket Required is your answer?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- I think that is a Phil Collins album.- Oh, no!
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Um, it's not the first, though. The first solo one was Face Value.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59It's tough, but sorry, Fran, you got it wrong.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Barry, your question.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04If you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11The UK Number-One single in May 2000, Bound 4 Da Reload,
0:22:11 > 0:22:17by Oxide and Neutrino, was based on the theme tune of which TV drama?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Gosh. I have heard of this.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I've heard of this as a question before,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25but I can't recall the answer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Reload could suggest guns and The Bill, but I'm going for Hollyoaks.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's not Hollyoaks, it's Casualty.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Fran, well done, you're still alive!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37So, try and get this one right if you can,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40and then we've got to hope he slips up.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Which member of the Monkees was originally hired to be the drummer?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Oh, gosh!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53If you'd given me something Beatles related, I'd have been fine!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Monkees? OK.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I really have no idea, so I'm going to have to take a stab.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'm going to go for...
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Mike Nesmith.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- The answer is Micky Dolenz. - Oh, my goodness!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Bad luck, Fran.- It's fine! - I think he's taken the round.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Barry, with your point, you're in the final, and Fran, you're not.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22And if you both come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:30 > 0:23:34won't be allowed to take part in this round, so, Nick, Fran, Dave
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and Helen from the Coalition, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Melody, good luck. You are playing to win the Coalition £13,000.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something
0:23:47 > 0:23:51that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57this time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59So Melody, the question is,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05And would you like to go first...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Did they say something at the back, there? Yes, they say!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10They're cheering you on! Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'd like to go first, please.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Best of luck to you.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Ruy Lopez is the name of one of the most popular openings in which game?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Well, I don't think it can be snooker, cos I think you just break,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35don't you, in snooker, and that's the same every time.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I've never played contract bridge.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I honestly don't know, but I know that you have various
0:24:44 > 0:24:48opening strategies for chess, so I'll go for chess.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Well done, Melody, it's the right answer. Chess, OK.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Eggheads, your question.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Rocha is a variety of which fruit?
0:25:00 > 0:25:01R-O-C-H-A?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04R-O-C-H-A is a variety of which fruit?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Pear.- Pear?- I think pear. - OK, yeah?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09That's a pear, Jeremy.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Pear is the right answer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Your question, Melody.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19For what does the letter O stand in the acronym SWOT,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22as used by businesses in SWOT analysis.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24That's S-W-O-T.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I'm stunned into silence here. I've never heard of it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42I don't even know what the S, the W or the T stand for!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I have absolutely no idea.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53I would have thought that there would be analysis of overheads,
0:25:53 > 0:25:54so I'll go for Overheads.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Overheads is your answer. Anyone, Eggheads know what the answer is?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Opportunities. Stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06So you do Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10SWOT. So opportunities is the right answer. Sorry, Melody.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Eggheads, your chance to take the lead.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The 1851 race won by the Schooner America that gave it's name
0:26:16 > 0:26:18to the America's Cup competition
0:26:18 > 0:26:21took place on a course around which island?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27EGGHEADS: Isle of Wight.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That was the Isle of Wight, Jeremy.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31So annoying that you all know it!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Isle of Wight is the right answer.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Melody, here's your question. Get this one right. Stay in it!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40If you get it wrong, it's over.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45In 1965, the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett released a film
0:26:45 > 0:26:48called Film, starring which silent movie star?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Well, as far as I know...
0:27:05 > 0:27:10I don't know if Charlie Chaplin had some sort of Irish connection.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Wasn't he married to an Irish actress or lady?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I really don't know very much about silent movies.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I don't like silent movies.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27But basing it on the fact that he might have been married
0:27:27 > 0:27:31to an Irish lady, I shall go for Charlie Chaplin.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37The actual answer is Buster Keaton. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38You've won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Commiserations, Melody, and to your team.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52looks like it might have stumped them. No?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You've got Buster Keaton, it was not long before he died
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- but, funnily enough, in the last couple of years before he died, he was very active.- OK, all right.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02There was a logic to it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Yes, well done.- Thanks for coming in and playing. Commiserations.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and the winning streak continues.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I'm afraid that means the Coalition don't go home with the £13,000,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see
0:28:20 > 0:28:23if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27£14,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
