0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well-known,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Corinium Racketeers.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team all know one another through the Cirencester Tennis Club.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50And, as I'm sure the Eggheads will be able to tell us,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Corinium is the Roman name for Cirencester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53So let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Kevin. I'm 47, and I'm a managing director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Carol, I'm 49, I'm a freelance book editor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Ken, I'm 59, I'm a painter and decorator.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, my name is Graham, I'm 48, I'm a marketing planner.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, My name's Ro. I'm 49, and I'm a community worker.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Kevin and team, welcome, great to see you.- Thank you.- And you quiz.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Who do you quiz against?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Teams.- Club teams really.- Club teams?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22But we have played against Cirencester Cricket Club before.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Ah. The cricket club. Have you beaten them?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Actually, I don't think we did!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28THEY ALL CHUCKLE
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I'm in both, so I was on the cricket team.- Oh, I see.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33OK. Good luck to you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Every day, there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38If they don't defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45So, Corinium Racketeers, the Eggheads have won the last 18 games,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49which means £19,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Shall we try?- Yes, please.- All the very best. A lot of money to win.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The first head-to-head battle is the subject of Music.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Which one of you would like this?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- I think that's got to be Ken. - I think it's me.- Yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- That's got to be Ken. - It's him we're going to choose.- OK.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Ken, against which Egghead?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Entirely up to you, Ken. - Sport, isn't she?- OK. So...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Judith?- Yeah, why not?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Judith, please.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18OK, Ken from the Corinium Racketeers,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21You're spared sport, Judith.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Yes. But... dumped into music. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:25 > 0:02:26To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34I'll ask you three multiple-choice questions on music in turn.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Whoever wins the round goes through to the final,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39the other person is knocked out. You can choose
0:02:39 > 0:02:41the first or the second set of questions.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Um. I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Here we go, good luck.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Philip Oakey of the Human League
0:02:49 > 0:02:56and Giorgio Moroder had a UK 1984 hit single called Together In what?
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Erm. It wasn't In The Summertime because that's Mungo Jerry, I think.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Paris & London, I'm not too sure who had that.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I'm almost sure it's Electric Dreams.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So that's my answer.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Nice work, Electric Dreams is the right answer. Very good.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25Judith, who had a UK number one single in 2010 with Promise This?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I don't think it was Cheryl Cole. Hers was called something different.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Erm, Sarah Harding?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- It was Cheryl Cole.- Oh.- As a matter of fact, with Promise This.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- How annoying!- Oh dear. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:03:44 > 0:03:46All right, so you're in the lead, Ken.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Take Back Your Mink is a song from which musical, Ken?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Not too sure about this one, Jeremy, I must admit.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Um. Take Back Your Mink.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08It sounds, it could be gangsters.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Erm.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'm going to go for Chicago.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14That's my answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Chicago is your answer. OK, any Egghead?- Guys and Dolls?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Guys and Dolls is the answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24OK, Judith, let's see if you can get off the launch pad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27The tracks, New Kid In Town, and Life In The Fast Lane,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30appeared on which classic 1970s album?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I think that was Hotel California.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Hotel California is the right answer, well done.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Ken, your question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45During the 1950s and '60s,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48which American record company was home to artists such as
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddly?
0:04:59 > 0:05:05There may have been record companies called Backgammon and Domino.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07But I've definitely heard of Chess.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I think I'll go with Chess.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well done, you've got it right,
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Chess is the right answer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You are in the lead. Let's see what Judith does.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Which composer took music by Pergolesi and others,
0:05:20 > 0:05:26and arranged and orchestrated it into the ballet, Pulcinella?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh dear. I don't know. Let's think.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Borodin?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Borodin, where did that come from? Just going down the right, or?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Um. No, it was a bit of a flash.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47OK. Stravinsky is the right answer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Judith. So you've been knocked out by Ken.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Well done, you're in the final round,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Good round for our challengers.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59So, as it stands,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03the Corinium Racketeers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The next subject is Science.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Which of you would like this?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Probably...- Are you going to do it, Kevin?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- You're happy to?- OK, I'll take Science, Jeremy.- Kevin, OK.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Which Egghead? Not Judith.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Whoever you want to play.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23OK. I will take Pat.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28So Kevin, from Corinium Racketeers, against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Three questions on Science, multiple choice.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Kevin, the first or the second set?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42And here is your question, Kevin.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46How many atoms are there in a molecule of water?
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Right. I am not quite sure about this one.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Um. I know that the scientific name for water is H2O.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, that is pointing me to 3.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Um.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12And I think that's going to be my answer, I'm going to go for 3.
0:07:12 > 0:07:153 is the right answer, well done.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Pat, which branch of mathematics takes its name from
0:07:19 > 0:07:22the Greek for, to measure land?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Calculus takes its name from the word for pebble.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I'm not sure about statistics.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But geometry comes almost directly from the Greek,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39to measure land, so it's geometry.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Geometry is the right answer.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Back to you, Kevin.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47What name did Donald Johanson give to the three million year old
0:07:47 > 0:07:55female hominid skeleton he found at Hadar in Ethiopia in November 1974?
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Right, um. I don't think it's Linda.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10And, I don't remember the name Laura coming up.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'm pretty sure that I have heard of Lucy. So,
0:08:13 > 0:08:18yes, I will go with Lucy as my final answer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Very good, Lucy, it is,
0:08:20 > 0:08:21well done, Kevin.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, your question.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Pat, what name is given to the technique of
0:08:27 > 0:08:31exposing seeds and young plants to low temperatures,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33in order to hasten subsequent flowering?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I can't tell you very much about options B or C.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But Vernalization is the process applied to seeds in that manner.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Vernalization is the right answer.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Kevin, your question.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Get this, and put Pat under pressure.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58"An expanding universe does not preclude a creator,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02"but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job."
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Is a quotation from which scientist?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK. I really don't know the answer to this.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16But it sounds like the sort of thing that Stephen Hawking might have
0:09:16 > 0:09:19referred to in A Brief History of Time.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23So I'm going to go for Stephen Hawking.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Stephen Hawking is the right answer. Very good.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Very well played in this difficult round.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Pat, get this wrong, you're out.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Which theory holds the view
0:09:32 > 0:09:35geological changes have been gradual
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and produced by forces still at work,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and not by catastrophic changes?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I read about this some time ago, in a Bill Bryson book.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56And I'm fairly sure it's Uniformitarianism.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00It sounds like a religious movement. I think it's Uniformitarianism.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Uniformitarianism is the right answer, well done.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05You're equal after three tricky questions.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Kevin, it's not been easy to shake him off, but it never is.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So we go to Sudden Death. It's that bit harder.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm not going to give you alternatives.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And here's your first one if you're ready.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21Tharsis Montes is the name of a volcanic region on which planet?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Tharsis Montes?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I really don't know.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29There's no way I can work this out.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So I'm just going to have to take a guess,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35and I will go for, um, Mars.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Mars is right. Well done! - HE CHUCKLES
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Playing like a demon.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Pat, what name is given to the unit of heat energy
0:10:44 > 0:10:49that's usually defined as 4.1868 Joules?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think I'll have to go for calorie.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Calorie is correct.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Kevin. In 1901, which Austrian-born pathologist
0:11:03 > 0:11:07discovered three of the major human blood groups?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I don't know the answer to this question.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm thinking of the names of the blood groups
0:11:16 > 0:11:18to see if that gives me any clues.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22A, O. Rhesus negative. Positive.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I don't even think I know of any pathologists.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29So I'm just going to have to think of a scientist. Erm.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Was it...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Rhesus?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It was not. Let me ask Pat, do you know, Pat?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I think that's Karl Landsteiner.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Karl Landsteiner is the answer.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Pat, you have the chance
0:11:46 > 0:11:49to take the round. You haven't lost on Science.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Which Soviet nuclear physicist
0:11:52 > 0:11:57was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, in 1975?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00That should be Andrei Sakharov.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04The answer is Andrei Sakharov. Well done, Pat.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well done to you, Kevin, for playing so forcefully there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11He has knocked you out. Pat will be in the final. Please, come back,
0:12:11 > 0:12:12and rejoin your teams.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22The eggheads have lost one brain. Next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Which of you would like this?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Are you going to do that, Carol? - Carol?- Yes, OK.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Should I go for this? - We are voting for Carol.- Right, me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Carol. OK, against which Egghead?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Barry, Chris or Kevin?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Chris. What do you think? Chris. Yes, Chris, please.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Carol, from the Corinium Racketeers, against Chris from the Eggheads,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43on Arts & Books. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Good luck in this round, Arts & Books. Three questions.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And whoever wins goes through to the final.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Carol, do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I think I'll go first, please.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Carol, here we go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05In literature, what term is used to refer to a character
0:13:05 > 0:13:10that hinders the central character from achieving his or her goals?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Dualist sounds like fencing.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Mentalist doesn't sound right at all.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21So I would say Antagonist.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Antagonist is the right answer.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So Chris, over to you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29What name is given to the type of representational painting where
0:13:29 > 0:13:33objects or bodies are portrayed as they might appear in nature?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Well, it's not Surrealist Art
0:13:40 > 0:13:44because that was Marcel Duchamp and that sort of stuff.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Minimal Art I think is the less is more school of art.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52So it's got to be Figurative Art.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Figurative Art is correct.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Carol, your question.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Pat Barker's 1991 novel, Regeneration, centres
0:14:00 > 0:14:02on which historical conflict?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I know Pat Barker. I haven't read that book.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I'm quite tempted to say Napoleonic Wars.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18But I think, because "Regeneration",
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I think perhaps it's about regeneration after World War I.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So I'm going to say World War I.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Glad you changed your mind, you're right. World War I.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Chris. What is the surname of the brothers Hal and Roger,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34who feature in Willard Price's adventures series of books?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Well, I've never heard of them, or the books.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's going to have to be a pure guess.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Let's apply the Judith method.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49We'll go for Carr.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Going down the right, the Keppel technique.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Carr is wrong. Judith's technique didn't work for you. It's Hunt.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Carol, good position for you. Get this right,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00you're in the final round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Which artist produced the sculpture Prospero and Ariel
0:15:04 > 0:15:08that sits over the entrance to the BBC's Broadcasting House?
0:15:13 > 0:15:18That's a tough question because they all produced fantastic sculptures.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I'm...
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Eric Gill did stuff... for the BBC I think.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I want to say Eric Gill but something is making me
0:15:32 > 0:15:36go towards Jacob Epstein.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But I don't know why
0:15:38 > 0:15:42so do I go with my instinct or do I go with my more logical brain?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I'm going to say Jacob Epstein.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Yeah. It's Gill though.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Oh! How annoying!
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- You had the facts there!- I did! - And they all slotted in.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I see that statue every day.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58OK. Over to you, Chris.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00You can draw level now.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03In Hans Christian Andersen's story The Tinderbox,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07the soldier uses the tinderbox to someone which creatures?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Ah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19It's a fairy story, isn't it. You'd whistle for dogs.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Probably much the same for horses,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24so a tinderbox would strike fire, which would summon dragons.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It should, shouldn't it, but no, it's dogs.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29OK, Carol, well done.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32You're in the final. You've knocked out an Egghead.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's going very well for your team.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Both of you come back and rejoin us here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46The Eggheads have lost two brains and the next subject is sport.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Who wants this?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Between us two. What do you think?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I think yourself would be better at it to be fair.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Really? OK!
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- Yeah.- You sure?- OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01..For the general knowledge at the end.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03OK. I'll give it a go.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Against which Egghead?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'd like to play against Kevin, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So Ro from Corinium Racketeers against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15If you can you please go to the question room now.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Three questions, multiple choice.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Ro, the first set or the second?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'd like to follow the rest of my team and go first, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Here we go. Good luck.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32James Milner and David Silva joined which football club in 2010?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Right, I can't think who David Silva plays for,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43but I should be able to work out James Milner,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47and I'm pretty sure he went to Manchester City.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Manchester City is the right answer. Well done.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52All right. Your question.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Kevin, the Egghead.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56How are the Formula One racing drivers Graham Hill,
0:17:56 > 0:18:01who died in 1975, and Damon Hill related?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09They were father and son.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Father and son is quite right. Back to you, Ro.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Tomas Berdych is a famous name in which sport?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23That would be tennis, Jeremy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Well done, you Corinium Racketeer!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31As you are a tennis club, that's a good answer.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Kevin, the golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez
0:18:34 > 0:18:36was born in which country?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Well, he's Spanish so I have to assume that he was born there. Spain.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Spain is the right answer. Two each. Going well. Back to you, Ro.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53In which year did WG Grace last play test match cricket for England?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Goodness. Right. I'm not very good
0:19:01 > 0:19:03on knowing the years that things happened.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10I'm going to have to guess and I'm going to guess the earliest, 1889.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Let's see if Kevin knows.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I think it's 1899. He was actually just over 50 then.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19But I think he went on for that long.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Yes, he did. 1899 it was, Ro.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Kevin has a chance to take the round on sport.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Which rugby league team won the 2010 Super League grand final?
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Yes, they used to be very, very dominant, extremely dominant,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42going back to the late '80s through to the mid-90s
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and then they had a more fallow period but they have
0:19:45 > 0:19:48really started to come back now. It's Wigan Warriors.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Wigan Warriors is correct.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Always going to be tough taking Kevin on, Ro.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well done for trying.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Kevin, you'll be in the final. Ro, you've been knocked out.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Please both of you come back and we will play the final round.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07It is time for the final round, which is general knowledge,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09but those of you who lost your head to heads
0:20:09 > 0:20:12won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16so Kevin and Ro from the Corinium Racketeers
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21would you please leave the studio.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Carol, Ken and Graham,
0:20:23 > 0:20:28you're playing to win the Corinium Racketeers £19,000.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Barry, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:20:32 > 0:20:34the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Corinium Racketeers, the question is,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Do you want to go first or second?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I think we'd like to go first if we can, please.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57All the very best to you. Good luck.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02In which year did sweet rationing permanently end in Britain?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Right, I think it was in the '50s.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Yeah.- I think it was in the '50s.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And I think...
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I don't know why but 1953 came into my head before he said anything.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Same with me.- Did it?- Yeah.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'm willing to go with you two on that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- Oh.- No, no...
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Why, do you have a different view?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33No, I don't, thinking about it, because I would've been seven
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and I can't ever remember being rationed.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Which you would, wouldn't you, if you had been.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I think so as a child.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Yeah! I'm sure my mum had ration books till the '50s.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51If we both think '53 and you don't remember '58...
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- You do, but you don't remember the being rationed!- I don't to be honest.
0:21:55 > 0:22:02It was definitely quite a long time after the war. Go on then.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I think we'll go for 1953, please.
0:22:05 > 0:22:071953 is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Eggheads, your question.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12The screenwriter Richard Curtis, the singer James Blunt
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and the horse-racing pundit John McCririck
0:22:14 > 0:22:17attended which independent school?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- I don't think it was Gordonstoun. - No.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26One of the other two.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Any inklings or inclinations?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Blunt was the only one... I thought he was an old Etonian.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Really?
0:22:34 > 0:22:39But it's a very, very faint... nothing tangible really.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Harrow is perhaps slightly...
0:22:41 > 0:22:45You tend to hear a lot about old Etonians.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It's more upfront. Harrow has a slightly lower profile.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So if we haven't heard any of them described as either one,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55that might suggest Harrow.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Funnily enough that crossed my mind just now, so...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- But you think you might have..? - I don't know.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I don't know it,
0:23:06 > 0:23:11so for the reasons that you've said, my inkling would be to Harrow.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I must admit, my gut feeling was Harrow.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I was thinking along the same lines.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm happy to go for Harrow. Are we all?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21We're all just taking a punt.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26I'm happy to go with Harrow with no great confidence.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- No, no great confidence.- OK.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Well, we don't think it's Gordonstoun,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34but we're somewhat torn between Eton and Harrow
0:23:34 > 0:23:37and we think if they were old Etonians, we might well have heard
0:23:37 > 0:23:41more about them in the press, so we're going to go for Harrow.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And you had an inkling for Eton.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Something so faint I wouldn't place any confidence in it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51The answer is Harrow.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Bad luck.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56It's not often they shake like that on the first question.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58OK.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Never mind. Keep pressing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02What is the official name used for a papal ambassador
0:24:02 > 0:24:05to a foreign court or government?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Suffragan is to do with voting.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Metropolitan is too obvious, isn't it.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24I think it's more to do with towns, cities.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27And I've heard of a Papal Nuncio.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28So have I. Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I think we will go for Nuncio, please, Jeremy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Your answer is Nuncio
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and it's correct. Well done. Two out of two.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Back to you, Eggheads.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41In which James Bond film did Rosamund Pike play
0:24:41 > 0:24:44the role of Miranda Frost?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54It was a Pierce Brosnan. In fact it was the last Pierce Brosnan,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56it was Die Another Day.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It was the last of the Pierce Brosnan's - Die Another Day.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04We think she appeared in the last of the Pierce Brosnan James Bonds,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06which was Die another Day.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Die Another Day is the right answer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12OK. Your third question.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Which actress did the evolutionary biologist
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Richard Dawkins marry in 1992?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Definitely not Joanna Lumley.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Definitely.- Right.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Lalla Ward was a Doctor Who assistant, wasn't she?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That's what I thought but...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I think she's quite...mature.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40When was Lalla Ward in Doctor Who?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I only think she was,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45but I think it was back in... She'd be about...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48..Maybe back in the '80s possibly.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51But that was her name in Doctor Who?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52- No.- Oh, she was in it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Do you have any instinct?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55I don't.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Although...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Evolutionary biologist, Doctor Who, maybe.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04It's a bit tenuous.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It is very tenuous.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We're not completely sure she was in Doctor Who.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- No.- But we've never heard of the other one.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I don't think that's a bad thing.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Oh. What do you mean?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18She is an actress.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But... Have you heard of her.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Has she acted since?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28My instinct originally was to go for Serena Gordon.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Was it?- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33But no reason, and the same with me.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Oh no!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I haven't got...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I'm veering towards Serena Gordon now.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43No!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Because you two were drawn that way.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Given that we don't know,
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I think we kind of had a gut feel for Serena Gordon,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I don't know why.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Let's go for that. - I think you're right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Based on gut feel and very little else,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06we're going to go for Serena Gordon.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Your answer is Serena Gordon.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12You veered. What did you do there?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You had a Lalla Ward thing going on.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Probably the wrong thing!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- You've heard of her.- Yes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Lalla Ward was married to Tom Baker.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Oh!
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But they broke up and she married Richard Dawkins.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Did she now?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27So the answer is Lalla Ward.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Oh, how annoying.- Sorry.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK, Eggheads, your chance to take the contest.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Winston Churchill's 1899 book The River War
0:27:36 > 0:27:40is a first-hand account of British involvement in which country?
0:27:45 > 0:27:46(Sudan.)
0:27:46 > 0:27:47It was the Sudan.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It's the Nile campaign against the Khalifa and Omdurman and all that.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52So it's the Sudan.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58It's about the Omdurman campaign under Kitchener in the Sudan.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01The correct answer is...
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Sudan.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You played a great game. You really did.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18You got three in the final and you clearly know a lot so thank you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20We've enjoyed it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22We won't mention Richard Dawkins again.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23- Ever!- Ever!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Commiserations to you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and their winning streak continues.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I'm afraid you won't be going home with £19,000
0:28:32 > 0:28:35so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:40 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46£20,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
