0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37They have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Travelling Mulberries who all know one another
0:00:43 > 0:00:50through the Mulberry Street Bar in Glasgow where Colin has been hosting a quiz night for six years.
0:00:50 > 0:00:57- Let's meet them.- Hi, my name's Gordon. I'm 47 years old and I'm an environmental health officer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jim. I'm 58 years old and I'm a delivery driver.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hi, my name is Colin, I'm 47 years old and I'm a charity project manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Jen, I'm 34 years old and I'm a scientist.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Derick, I'm 62 years of age and I'm a retired chartered accountant.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- So, Gordon and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Is the quiz night at the bar a tough one?
0:01:20 > 0:01:26It can be, but Colin has a habit of repeating questions, so that makes it easier for us.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- He repeats the questions?- It does happen, but we still forget.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- You mean not as he asks them, but a week later or something? - Several months.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41You've got a whole range of different professions and interests and that's got to be good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hopefully, that'll help us in our challenge here today
0:01:44 > 0:01:48as we all come from different backgrounds and walks of life.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Our one weak point, and we hope it doesn't come up, is Sport.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Sport? OK. That can happen.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Let's see. Every day, £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Travelling Mulberries, the Eggheads have won the last 19 games,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13which means £20,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Shall we get cracking?- Hmm.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The first head-to-head battle is on Film & TV.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Who would like this?
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- That'll be me.- I think you're the one. Colin, you're the chosen one.
0:02:25 > 0:02:32- Choose an Egghead.- I think Judith. - Colin from the Travelling Mulberries against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37To make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Good luck in this round. Three multiple choice questions on Film & TV.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- You can choose the first or second set of questions.- I'll go first.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48All the best to you, Colin.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Here we go.
0:02:50 > 0:02:57"Ah, go on, go on, go on" was the catchphrase of which character in the TV sitcom Father Ted?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Well, this used to be a programme I really, really enjoyed
0:03:05 > 0:03:07and that would be Mrs Doyle.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Mrs Doyle is the right answer. Well done. OK.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Judith, Pete Bennett, Rachel Rice and Anthony Hutton
0:03:15 > 0:03:19have all been winners of which reality TV series?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Well, maybe it's Big Brother. I don't know. I've no idea.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Big Brother.- Big Brother is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, Colin...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Nick Ross was the original presenter of which show
0:03:36 > 0:03:41when it was first broadcast as a programme in its own right in 1985?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I thought the options were going to include something else,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55so it caught me a little bit by surprise,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59but I think Nick Ross was an original presenter on Watchdog.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Watchdog is correct.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Judith,
0:04:04 > 0:04:10who starred as the title character in the 2010 film adaptation of Gulliver's Travels?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I think that is Jack Black
0:04:16 > 0:04:21because there's also a commercial he's in, isn't there, as Gulliver?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So, Jack Black.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29Jack Black is correct. So playing well here, two points apiece.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Colin, back to you. What surname is shared by the director of the 1984 film Ghostbusters
0:04:35 > 0:04:40and his son who directed the 2009 film, Up In The Air?
0:04:45 > 0:04:51Well, I know that the director of Ghostbusters was Ivan Reitman
0:04:51 > 0:04:56and I think his son is Jason, so the name is Reitman.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Very impressive. Absolutely right. You gave us the whole lot.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- You're playing someone who's pretty good, Judith.- I know.
0:05:04 > 0:05:11Ray Harryhausen made his name in film as an expert practitioner in what area?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I really have no idea.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What about sound effects?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Sound effects. Let's see if an Egghead knows. Anybody?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Stop-motion animation. - How do you all know?
0:05:28 > 0:05:33His famous films were Clash Of The Titans and Jason And The Argonauts.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- He was just the best at the time. - Judith, it is stop-motion animation.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40You've been knocked out by Colin.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46Well done. You're in the final. The Mulberry quizzers will give the Eggheads quite a run, I sense.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54So, as it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57The Eggheads have now lost a brain.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59The next subject is Politics.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Not Sport.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Who wants this?- Derick or Jim. - Derick?- OK, short straw time.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11- Yeah, I guess that's me, Jeremy. - Derick, it's you. Which Egghead, Derick?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I would love to go up against Pat.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19OK, Derick from the Travelling Mulberries against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23To make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Derick, all the best to you. Do you like your politics?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Can I answer that later?- Sure. Let's ask at the end of the round.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Here we go.
0:06:37 > 0:06:44Ed Miliband's last position in Gordon Brown's administration was Secretary of State for what?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I don't think he was Energy & Climate Change.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I'm not sure of Children, Schools... I don't know, to be honest.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I'm going to plump for Communities & Local Government.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06It's not, actually. It's Energy & Climate Change.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08OK, over to you, Pat.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The book in which MPs declare any extra income or gifts
0:07:12 > 0:07:19which they receive and could influence their decisions is the Register of Members' Financial what?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I think it's a Register of Interests.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Interests is the correct answer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Derick, second question.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Barack Obama spent four years of his childhood in which Far East country?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm going to plump for Indonesia, but I don't know why.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Indonesia.- Sometimes not knowing why doesn't matter
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and it doesn't matter here. You're right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Indonesia is the answer. Nice one, Derick.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02So, Pat, to keep the lead, in a 1992 speech,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05President George HW Bush famously said
0:08:05 > 0:08:10that American families should be more like the Waltons and less like who?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18This didn't go down very well at all.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21He reckoned they should be more like the Waltons
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and less like the Simpsons,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26but in fact, the Simpsons enjoy an enormous popularity.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28The Simpsons is correct.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Derick, your question.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38You got your first one wrong, so you really need this one or you're not in the final.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44What item is required to be placed on the table in the House of Commons before any business can take place?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Again I'm not absolutely certain.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I don't think it's the Woolsack and I don't think it's the box.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I do believe it's the mace, Jeremy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Mace is the right answer.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Not the spray, gentlemen, right?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The ceremonial thing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13OK, Pat, this for the round.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The National Assembly of People's Power is the English name
0:09:17 > 0:09:22of the main legislative authority of which country?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31I don't know anything about Sierra Leone's governmental arrangements,
0:09:31 > 0:09:36so I'll just abandon that and I'll have to pick between Italy and Cuba.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Something about the way it's phrased,
0:09:39 > 0:09:44National Assembly of People's Power, leads me to have a guess at Cuba.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You've got the right answer, Pat - Cuba.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You've taken the round as well.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Derick, getting that first question wrong was fatal. You won't be in the final.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Pat will. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:58 > 0:10:05The challengers have lost a brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Your next subject is Music. Who wants this?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Would you be confident? I don't mind doing it.- I'm not doing it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15You're usually quite good.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'll have a go at Music.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- I was going to stay to the end, but...- OK, which Egghead? It cannot be Judith or Pat.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Barry perhaps?- I think Barry.
0:10:25 > 0:10:32- I'll take on Barry.- OK, Gordon from the Travelling Mulberries against Barry on Music from the Eggheads.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:10:36 > 0:10:42I'll ask each of you three questions on Music and you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Eh... I shall try and go first.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54Here we go. "You walked into the party like you were walking on to a yacht" is the first line
0:10:54 > 0:10:57of which 1970s UK top ten hit single?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Not particularly brilliant on lyrics,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08but it is a very famous first line
0:11:08 > 0:11:11of a great song
0:11:11 > 0:11:14which I believe was written about... Was it James Taylor?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It was Carly Simon that sang it and I think it's You're So Vain.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22You're So Vain is right. I don't think we ever found out
0:11:22 > 0:11:26who it was written about. Warren Beatty, I heard.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Any offers on Warren Beatty?- Yeah, I heard that. Also Mick Jagger.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33She's never said.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Barry, when they participated in The X Factor, how many members were there in the group JLS?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, it's certainly not two.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50JLS, just trying to picture the line-up. Was it four or six?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Six just seems too many. I'll go for four.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Four is correct. Gordon, back to you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05Which American singer at the age of 20 won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2010 with Fearless?
0:12:09 > 0:12:15I'll rule out Lindsay Lohan immediately. She's an actress.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It's between Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I don't know the music. It's a guess.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I'd have to say... I'll go for Taylor Swift.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I've heard of that name, not the other name.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Taylor Swift is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The only thing I've got with Taylor Swift in my own mind
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- is something with Kanye West at an awards ceremony.- It was the Grammys.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46- She was given an award and he came up and said, "You shouldn't have got it"? Was that her?- That was her.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK, Barry, your question to keep up.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Which jazz musician and band leader composed the score
0:12:52 > 0:12:57for Otto Preminger's 1959 film Anatomy Of A Murder?
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Oh, gosh! I'm afraid I haven't a clue on this one.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I don't even recall the film,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13so I can't think of whose musical style would be best suited to it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I shall go for Duke Ellington and keep my fingers crossed.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21You got it right. Well done. Duke Ellington, it is.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23OK, Gordon,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26this is a close-fought round and contest.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31What type of musical instrument is the Turkish kudum?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38This is something I should know.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42My brother lives in Turkey and he's got a Turkish wife.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I might have heard of the name of the instrument before,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- but I'm stabbing in the dark here. - Let me read it to you again.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53What type of musical instrument is the Turkish kudum?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56A stab in the dark...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58A pair of drums.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Yeah, nice answer. A pair of drums is right. Well done.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08It's funny, the second time I read it and I said "kudum",
0:14:08 > 0:14:11the word makes a drumming sound.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- You've never seen your brother's wife playing the kudum?- No.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- I don't think she plays an instrument.- Barry, if you get this wrong, you are out.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Which French composer, who died in 1979,
0:14:23 > 0:14:28was renowned for having taught composition to many important 20th century composers,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33including Aaron Copland, Philip Glass and Elliott Carter?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Of those three, the name I associate with teaching other people
0:14:43 > 0:14:46is Nadia Boulanger, so that's my answer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It was indeed Nadia Boulanger.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53So we go to Sudden Death and it gets a bit harder, Gordon.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Well done on your three correct answers. They were multiple choice. Now I don't give you options.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04For what does the letter R stand in the name RCA Records?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I think the "CA" stands for Columbia Associates.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And the R...
0:15:11 > 0:15:18It's an old company associated with the old days of the radio, so I'm going to guess Radio.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25Radio is bang-on. It's actually Radio Corporation of America, but you got the word "Radio".
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Barry, if you get this wrong, you are out.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Dennis Locorriere and Ray Sawyer,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37the latter sporting a trademark cowboy hat and eye patch,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42were the lead vocalists of which band who had a string of hits in the 1970s?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47I'm not sure on this, but it sounds like Dr Hook and the Medicine Men.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Dr Hook is right. It's Medicine Show but I was looking for Dr Hook.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Back to you, Gordon.
0:15:53 > 0:16:00Bobby Darin's version of which song won the 1959 Record of the Year Grammy Award?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The only song that I think he sang that I know is quite well-known
0:16:05 > 0:16:09was Mack The Knife, so I'll say Mack The Knife.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Mack The Knife is correct.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16All right, Barry, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Which band of the 1980s and '90s was formed by the Scottish musician, Roddy Frame?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Roddy Frame... Could you spell the surname, please?- Frame.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27F-R-A-M-E.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Gosh, I'll try and think of some Scottish bands.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I don't think it's these, but I'll try Aztec Warriors.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42You got close with that! How did you do that? Where did that come from? It's Aztec Camera.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Oh!- Aztec Camera, not Aztec Warriors.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I was trying to remember that name.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54What a splendid effort! I didn't think you'd get anywhere near it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Aztec Camera with Roddy Frame. Brilliant songwriter.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03- Gordon, you've done well.- Thank you. - You've got yourself a place in the final.- Scraped through.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08You've done more than that. Barry's been knocked out. Please come back to your teams now.
0:17:08 > 0:17:15The challengers have lost one brain from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The last subject is Geography. You missed out Sport.
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- You were lucky there. Who wants Geography?- I think Jen perhaps. - I'll take Geography.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Jen's going to have a go at Geography.- Against?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- I'll let Gordon choose who I go with. He's team captain.- Pressure!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Em...
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- Kevin?- Kevin. Is that what they call a hospital pass? - I think you could call it that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:47Jen from the Travelling Mulberries against Kevin from the Eggheads, please go to the question room now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51So I will ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Jen, would you like the first or second set?- I'll go first.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Good luck, Jen. The largest lake in England is in which county?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It's a part of the world that I love
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and I've travelled a lot in the Lake District.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- It's Lake Windermere in Cumbria. - You're right on both.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Cumbria is right.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Kevin, Luanda, the capital of Angola, is a port on which ocean?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Angola is on the west side of Africa, so it's the Atlantic.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Atlantic is correct.
0:18:34 > 0:18:41Jen, what name is given to a cylindrical mass of solidified lava formed in the vent of a volcano?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Again volcanology is something that I enjoy
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and I've taken an Open University course in it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's called a plug.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Wow, bang-on!
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Plug is right. So we just have happened on your two interests -
0:19:00 > 0:19:06- lakes and volcanoes!- Something like that.- I wonder what the third question is going to bring?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Kevin, the River Otter flows through Somerset and which other county?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It flows to the... It rises in Somerset,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21then I believe it flows south through Devon.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26So there's Ottery St Mary in Devon. Yeah, it's Devon.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yes, Devon is the answer. Jen, your question.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Lake Winnipeg drains into Hudson Bay via which river?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43The geography of that part of Canada I don't know very well,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47but I'm sure Jim would be shouting out the answer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49It's a wee bit of deduction,
0:19:49 > 0:19:54trying to think about who explored that part of the world.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'm going to go with Montgomery River.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I should ask Jim, shouldn't I, as you are Canadian?
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I don't know.- You don't know! He doesn't know.- It's a big country.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Kevin, do you know?- It's the Nelson. - It is the Nelson, Jen.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15So we have to hope that Kevin slips up.
0:20:15 > 0:20:23Panaji, Kevin, also called Panjim, is the capital of which western Indian state?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Orissa is an eastern Indian state, so we'll knock that one out.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36The other two, though, are both on the west coast.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I'll have to say Goa, I think.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44If you've got this right, you are in the final. Do the Eggheads know?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- It is Goa.- Barry says it is Goa and he's absolutely right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Kevin, you have won the round. Jen, you're out, but only just.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Do, both of you, return to us and we will play the final.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58What a great contest this is!
0:20:58 > 0:21:04This is what we've been playing towards - the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:21:09 > 0:21:14so Jen and Derick from the Travelling Mulberries and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16would you please leave the studio?
0:21:18 > 0:21:24Gordon, Jim and Colin, you are playing to win the Travelling Mulberries £20,000.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30Pat, Kevin and CJ, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35I'll ask each team three questions, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41So, Travelling Mulberries, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Good luck. £20,000 at stake and you've played really well so far.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57London's Albery Theatre was renamed in 2006 in honour of which playwright?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Albery is spelt A-L-B-E-R-Y.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I think Terence Rattigan rings a bell.- Mm-hm.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Or it's John Osborne.- What are you thinking?- Terence Rattigan.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19- What's that based on?- I don't know. I know it's not...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I don't think it's Noel Coward. - I don't think it is either.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25John Osborne's... I don't know.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- It's the Osborne Theatre or the Rattigan Theatre?- Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Neither of them really rings a bell.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- The first one that came into my mind was John Osborne.- Yeah.- Me as well.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'll defer. Osborne's fine with me.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- On you go.- John Osborne, Jeremy. - John Osborne is your answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- Noel Coward.- Noel Coward is the answer. You got it wrong.- So wrong.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Yeah, you ruled it out quite emphatically there.- Yeah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The Douglas fir is named after David Douglas, the Scottish botanist
0:22:57 > 0:23:01who introduced it to Europe from which continent?
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- North America.- North America. - Yeah.- It's where it comes from.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I mean, he certainly travelled and collected in North America.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I don't think he was anywhere else.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19We're finally giving the public what they want - it's my turn to speak.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- North America.- North America from an ever modest CJ
0:23:24 > 0:23:28is the correct answer. They've pulled ahead, but don't give up.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Your second question. What was the name of the pillar-shaped rock
0:23:33 > 0:23:39that until it collapsed was part of The Needles off the coast of the Isle of Wight?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Lot's Wife...- Does it mean anything to you?- No.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It doesn't mean anything to me either,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55but Lot's Wife makes some sense with the reference to the pillar of salt.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Hercules' Spine is...- No. And Simeon's Mansion?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Simeon's Mansion?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Do we all tend towards the first one, Lot's Wife, do you think?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- SIGHING AND LAUGHTER - I know!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Have you got a three-sided coin we can toss?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17I can't see the Isle of Wight being called Hercules' Spine.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- It's more likely to be a biblical reference.- Go for Lot's Wife.- OK.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Jeremy, Lot's Wife.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Bang-on, well done. Lot's Wife is the right answer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Great, irresistible logic.
0:24:31 > 0:24:38Eggheads, brothers Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt represented Great Britain in which event in 1963?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's not the Ryder Cup.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Only two sets of brothers have ever played in it.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The Garridos. I don't recognise their names.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57I think tennis players is the most unlikely.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Surely one of us would have heard of them if they'd played for Britain.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06The crew of an America's Cup boat are normally low-profile guys.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Yeah.- You don't hear very much about them. Maybe nowadays you do.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- But it could be... It could be the Ryder Cup.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I think only two sets of brothers have played,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- but that could be only since the Europe era.- Right, OK.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24America's Cup, I think, is the...
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- There are more people...- Yeah. - But represented Great Britain,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31does that more imply they were the only ones?
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I have a tiny preference for Ryder Cup, but I have no evidence.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- We're just ruling out the Davis Cup? - Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I think we'd have heard of them.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45With the America's Cup,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49do they compete as Great Britain, apart from anything else?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I mean, it's tended to be badged... - Yeah, just as the boat.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57With a name sponsored by a particular individual like, going back a bit,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Tommy Lipton and...- '63, you said?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt represented Great Britain in which event in 1963?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- In '63, it was Great Britain in the Ryder Cup.- Yeah, OK.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14On the basis that if it was Davis Cup, we would have heard of them,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17we don't think perhaps Great Britain,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20as an entity, compete in the America's Cup,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24so in '63, Great Britain was competing in the Ryder Cup,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26so we'll try Ryder Cup.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's the correct answer. Well done. Ryder Cup, it is.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Bad luck, guys.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37I could see the right answer and I thought they weren't going to get it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39That's how they work. It's like detection.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So you need this one.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46What was the title of Cecilius Calvert
0:26:46 > 0:26:51who received a charter from Charles I of England for the new colony of Maryland?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- North America, Jim.- Thank you(!)
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I'm from the north.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I've not heard of... - Isn't Baltimore in Maryland?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- They're all in Maryland. - They're all cities there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Annapolis is a kind of...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I've never heard of any of those titles,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18although something in my head says Rockville.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- But I've nothing to base that on. - We've got to have an answer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27The obvious one would be Baltimore. I don't want to rule it out.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Is Baltimore the capital?- No, Annapolis.- Annapolis is the capital.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35So maybe that's the answer because it's the state capital of Maryland?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Maybe that's more likely to be... You know?- OK, gentlemen?- Yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Jeremy, Lord Annapolis?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The title of Cecilius Calvert,
0:27:45 > 0:27:51who received a charter for the new colony of Maryland,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53was Lord Baltimore.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58So, congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- It's almost the more knowledge, the more difficult it is.- Yeah.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11If you didn't know America, you'd think it was Baltimore.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17- And I was certain they were going to go against Ryder.- So were we. - Amazing sleuthing by the Eggheads!
0:28:17 > 0:28:22Commiserations, challengers. You really gave them a run for their money.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £20,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Eggheads, very well done again. I wonder who will ever beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45£21,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
