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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where a team
0:00:27 > 0:00:31of five challengers attempt to beat the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Their pedigree is well known.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads. And, taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are On The Beat. This team all work
0:00:41 > 0:00:44for the British Transport Police.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Although they're based all over the country,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48they've become friends through work events.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Peter, I'm 45 years old, and I'm a police officer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Gareth, 53, and I'm a crime scene manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Michael, I'm 39, and I'm a police staff manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Will, I'm 51, and I'm an HR reward manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 37, and I'm a police constable.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Peter and team, welcome.- Thank you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You've got a whole variety of interests,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17but you don't actually quiz together.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20No. Being nationally spread out, it's very difficult for us
0:01:20 > 0:01:23to get together for social events,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And I suppose I'm kind of the gel that's brought the team together,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30because people work with me in the North West,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and I often travel to London, where the other half of the team are from.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And Transport Police, as opposed to common or garden police.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The big difference is what?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The big difference is the beat that we police,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45which is the rail system, tram systems and the underground.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Exactly the same, but dealing with offences on the railway.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51OK, well, good luck in this competition.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53There's a connection between one of the team
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and one of the Eggheads, but we'll discover that later on.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, On The Beat, the Eggheads have won the last 21 games,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09which means £22,000 says
0:02:09 > 0:02:12you can't beat them today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Best of luck to you.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's quite a good jackpot now.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The first battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Which one is your Politics player? - That's you, isn't it, Will?- Yep.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Lamb to the slaughter, well done.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27OK, Will, which Egghead?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29We've got the A-Team.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35- The plan has gone!- Shall we go for Daphne?- I think so, yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Will from On The Beat against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43It's you, Daphne. You jolted, you suddenly jolted into action, there!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, Will, let's reveal the connection.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52It's you, and it's an Egghead. Which one?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53It's Chris, Jeremy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- And what happened? - A long time ago,
0:02:55 > 0:03:00we were in the London Transport Drama Group together.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Did you do a play together? - We're trying to remember.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We think not, but we certainly were there together.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well, he's not changed a lot in all those years, to be honest.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- You can take that as a compliment, Chris.- I can.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I've lost a lot of hair, Will! And grown some more.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, so let's get on with the round.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I will ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on Politics in turn.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and goes through to the final, and Will,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- you can choose the first or the second set.- I'll go first, please.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Here's your first question, Will.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What term is used to describe a worker who goes to work
0:03:36 > 0:03:39when his or her workmates are on strike?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Well, bluestocking is particularly associated with women,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52but of course, if you're on strike, or breaking a strike,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56then you could be male or female, so I believe the answer is blackleg.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Blackleg is the right answer. Where does that come from, any Eggheads?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Coalmining. If you're working, you'll have coal dust on your legs.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08"Show us your leg!" If it was black with coal dust, you were a blackleg.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Daphne, which political figure made headlines in 2010,
0:04:13 > 0:04:18after it was alleged he intervened to release a belly dancer from a police cell?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I haven't heard the story,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but it does sound like Silvio Berlusconi to me!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's difficult to know where to start with his escapades.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Silvio Berlusconi is the right answer.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Back to you, Will.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41When did the National Minimum Wage Act pass into law in the UK?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Well, 1992 was Conservative government,
0:04:52 > 0:04:571998 was just when the Labour government had come in,
0:04:57 > 0:05:002004 likewise.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I have a feeling it might be 1998.
0:05:06 > 0:05:101998 is correct, yes. A priority for Labour when they came in.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Daphne, your question.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15In May 2010, Iain Duncan Smith was appointed to which Cabinet post?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24OK, Work and Pensions.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Work and Pensions is correct.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Going great guns, both of you. Might get harder. Question three.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34In 2010, Lord Pearson stood down after only nine months
0:05:34 > 0:05:36as the leader of which political party?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Plaid Cymru, obviously, is the party of Wales,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Respect is associated with George Galloway.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It's the United Kingdom Independence Party.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It is indeed, UKIP.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Three out of three, Will, well done.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Daphne, let's see if you can hang on in there.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Named after a 19th-century supporter of proportional representation,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06what name is given to the quota commonly used in elections
0:06:06 > 0:06:10held under the single transferable vote, or STV system?
0:06:19 > 0:06:24The only one that sounds like a name is the Wilt Quota,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26so that's my guess.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30But, sadly, there was no Henry Wilt. There was a Henry Droop.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Oh.- Droop Quota is the answer. I know you'll never forget that, Daphne.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- No.- One of the very few things you don't know.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Sorry, you're not in the final. Well done to you, Will.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You've taken out an Egghead and you will be in the final.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Please, both of you return to us now.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So, a good start for the challengers.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50They've lost no brains from the final round,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54the Eggheads have lost a brain, poor old Daphne's gone.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55The next subject is Music.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Now, which of the challengers would like this?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- It's got to be you.- Yeah. It'll be me, Andy.- OK.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Who would you like to arrest?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Shall we take Judith on with this one?- Sounds good.- Judith?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09We'll take Judith for this one.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Andy from On The Beat against Judith from the Eggheads, on Music.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- That's all right, isn't it? - That's all right.- Good.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- So, Andy, whereabouts do you work? - Currently at Stoke-on-Trent, Jeremy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23And you're a quizzer?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Yeah, started off doing a few myself, attending them,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and then decided to run my own.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- So you run it in a pub? - Yeah, the Sydney Arms in Crewe.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35And if this lot turned up, would there be alarm in the pub?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yeah, I would imagine so.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40It's only for a bottle of wine anyway, so you don't win a great deal.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So, three questions on Music in turn,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Andy, you can choose the first or second set.- Second, please.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Judith, here we go with your first question.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59is one of the most famous songs to come out of which historical period?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I think that came out of the Great Depression.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Great Depression is correct, well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Andy, Boyzone's first UK number one single, Words,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17was a cover version of a song by which group?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'm ruling Fleetwood Mac out,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24because they were a bluesy rock band.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I seem to remember the year was 1974, and it was the Osmonds.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32You may have got the year right. It's the Bee Gees.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh, dear!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35The Bee Gees.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39"Words are all I have to take your heart away." Was that the lyric?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- That's the one.- That's the one.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44OK, Judith.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46In 1996, Macarena was a US number one
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and a UK number two single for which Spanish act?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Erm, I don't know!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Which name do I like the best?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Los Lobos.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- You like Los Lobos the best?- Yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Just because it's got lots of O's in it?- And L's and things.- L's and O's.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20It's wrong, but it's still a nice name. Los Del Rio is the answer.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Weren't you dancing to that in 1996?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I don't think I was, no, otherwise I might have known.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Well, you might have been dancing without knowing.- Well, maybe!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Andy. It's A Scandal, It's An Outrage is a song that
0:09:34 > 0:09:39appears in the stage version of which Rodgers & Hammerstein musical?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It doesn't sound like one from The Sound of Music.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50My mum's a big fan of that one. I've never seen it,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but it doesn't sound like something from that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It sounds more of an American title, so I'll go for Oklahoma!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Well done, Oklahoma! is correct.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So, you're equal, and this is the third question.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Judith, the African musical instrument the mbira is also known as what?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Spelt M-B-I-R-A.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Erm, I think it might be a nose flute.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- How would you play a nose flute? - Through your nose.- OK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's a thumb piano.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29OK, Andy, your question.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32If you get this right, you're through to the final.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Which hip-hop artist co-produced Eminem's albums
0:10:35 > 0:10:40The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49We did once worked on a concert of Eminem's at the MEN Arena,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and I seem to recall it's Dr Dre, is his producer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Dr Dre is absolutely right. Well done, Andy. You're in the final.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Judith, you've been knocked out on Music by a nose flute.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Peter, well done. It's going well. - Yes, going to plan so far.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Very good start.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's a better start than a number of teams have had
0:11:13 > 0:11:15in the last couple of weeks, so hang on in there.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19So, as it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21The Eggheads have lost two. Who's going to win?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25There's a lot of money at stake. The next subject is Science.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Which of you would like this?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30INAUDIBLE CHATTER
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- I'll take that, Jeremy. - OK. Kevin, CJ or Chris?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Might try and take Kevin out. - I'd go for CJ, if I was you.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39CJ?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Or Chris?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Might as well take Kevin on.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I've been nominated to take Kevin.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, good luck with that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So, Peter from On The Beat against Kevin from the Eggheads, on Science.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Please go to the Question Room now.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02So, you actually run a good section of the Transport Police, then, Peter?
0:12:02 > 0:12:09Yes, Jeremy. We're divided into seven areas, and I run the one in the North West.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12OK, and that's a massive responsibility,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14keeps you up at night, I should think.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It does, at times, yes, but it's very interesting.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21You never know what's next, and what's around the corner,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23what challenge will be thrown at you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I'm just trying to work out how you got into that from doing,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29as I understand it, a science degree at Oxford.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Yes, I did, and I did want to be a farmer or a forester,
0:12:33 > 0:12:39but then reality took over at the age of 21, and I fancied a go at the police.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41What was your degree subject?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Applied biology.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46OK, applied biology, Kevin. How are you on that?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Well, I haven't got a degree in it, put it that way.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Well, let's see how you do.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Science ranges pretty wide, as we're going to find out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Three questions, multiple choice.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Peter, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'll take the first, Jeremy.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And here is your first question.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09The condition seborrhoea primarily affects which organ of the body?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16S-E-B-O-R-R-H-O-E-A.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Seborrhoea.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25I don't think it's the liver, so I'll discount that.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Something in the back of my mind talking about sebaceous glands,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33so I think I'll go skin.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Nicely done, skin is the right answer, Peter. Well done.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Kevin, what type of creature is a corncrake?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46A corncrake is a bird.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's a bird, yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Peter, what is the chemical symbol for radon?
0:13:58 > 0:14:05All look reasonable, but I think I'll discount Rh...
0:14:08 > 0:14:11..and I think I will go for Ra.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16It's tricky, isn't it, this one. Ra is not radon, I'm sorry to say.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- What is Ra?- Radium. - Radium, yeah. Rn is radon.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Kevin, your question.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26In which year did the International Space Station
0:14:26 > 0:14:28receive its first crew?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Not too sure on that.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think, possibly, '95 is a little early.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Not sure about that, though, at all.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I should know this, but I can't remember when it went up.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Its first crew.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm going to go for 2000.
0:14:59 > 0:15:042000 is the right answer. What was it that swung it there?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Floating around in the back of my mind,
0:15:06 > 0:15:11I thought I could imagine people going back up to ten years ago,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14so there we are.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You got it right. You're in the lead, so Peter,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18you need this one, or you're knocked out.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Approximately how many Earth years does it take the planet Neptune to orbit the sun?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Well, obviously, Neptune, given the demise of Pluto,
0:15:34 > 0:15:40is now the furthest planet out within our solar system,
0:15:40 > 0:15:46so that's tending to push me towards the top end
0:15:46 > 0:15:51in terms of years,
0:15:51 > 0:15:56and I'll go for 165 years, Jeremy.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00165 years is correct.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Kevin, your third question, for the round.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07The Glyptodon was an early relation of which mammal?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12G-L-Y-P-T-O-D-O-N.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Vaguely heard the name Glyptodon, I would imagine.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Hmmm, not sure on this. Well, not just not sure, I just don't know.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Platypuses are pretty ancient, they're a very ancient breed.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Giraffe, I've never heard that in relation to. Giraffe.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Maybe getting my language roots all mixed up here,
0:16:46 > 0:16:51but "glypto" usually refers to carving.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55It's been used in context of sculpture, and that sort of thing.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Could that be a...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00involving plates, and that kind of thing?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03A rather metallic look.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I just don't know it, so I'm going to go for armadillo.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Amazing. Armadillo is the right answer. You crept towards it there.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- He would be a brilliant cop. - Oh, yes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17One bit at a time, and then you get to the plates.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's the armadillo. So, sorry, Peter.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You have been knocked out
0:17:21 > 0:17:25by another strong performance from our Kevin, and you won't be in the final.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Kevin, you will be.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So, glypto, Kevin, sorry, take me through that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35How did you get to armadillo from glypto?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39I know that "glypto" effectively means "carved",
0:17:39 > 0:17:43and so it's often a term that is used in relation to sculpture, for instance.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46So, if you think about an armadillo,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49as compared with the other two choices that were there,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52with its plates, and its ears sticking up,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55it can almost look carved, in a way.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It was tenuous, but...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- What about that?- Very good. - It's not bad, is it?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Anyway, there we are.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So you have now taken a hit.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07The challengers have lost a brain.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09The Eggheads have lost two brains,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12and the last subject is Sport. Who would like this?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Go on, Mike.- Yeah, Mike.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22Mike, on Sport, OK. And against which Egghead? CJ or Chris?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- CJ.- Erm, CJ, please.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK, so it's Michael from On The Beat on Sport
0:18:27 > 0:18:30taking on CJ from the Eggheads.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Michael, I hear the biggest love of your life is your allotment.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Well, I try and spend as much time as I can down there, yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- What are you growing? - All sorts, really.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Try and get a good range of vegetables going throughout the year.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48And you've won some prizes?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Yeah. My father and my grandfather, they used to grow,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55or specialise in growing big onions and leeks,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59so I've had a go myself over the last few years and grown a few whoppers.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Fantastic. I can't imagine you, CJ, on an allotment.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Er, no, not really my sort of thing.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I think they're wonderful places, but getting my hands dirty
0:19:08 > 0:19:10and vegetables don't appeal to me at all.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13But you could wear wellies and gloves.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15What I do in my private life is my business.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I'm not sure how we go from the allotment to Sport,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20but let's give it a try.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Three questions, Michael, and you can choose the first or second set.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I'll go first, please.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Here we go, good luck to you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Cycling's three Grand Tours are those of France, Spain
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and which other country?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42I do like cycling, and I tend to watch quite a lot of it on TV,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and I think the other tour is in Italy.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Italy is the right answer, well done.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52David Bentley, Michael Dawson and Jermaine Jenas
0:19:52 > 0:19:56played for which football team during the 2010/11 season?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I have absolutely no idea.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09I think I vaguely recognise the name Jermaine Jenas, and that's it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I don't think it's Man U.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Tottenham Hotspur.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Let's ask the challengers. Is he right?- Yes.- Yes, you're right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Spurs. OK. I don't know how they do it! Michael, your second question.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34In which year did Phil Mickelson first win
0:20:34 > 0:20:37one of golf's four major titles?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Golf's not my strongest subject.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I think he's still one of the best golfers around.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I think it's probably after 1994.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Whether it's six years ago or 11 years ago...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think I'll go for 1999.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Let's see if CJ knows this one. You're good on your golf.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13He was regarded as the best player never to win a major,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16until he won the Masters in 2004.
0:21:16 > 0:21:192004 it is, Michael. CJ, back to you.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24The American Jeremy Wariner has been an Olympic and world champion
0:21:24 > 0:21:26in which athletics event?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32He's a 400m runner.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36400m is correct, so now you've got to get this one right, Michael.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41The Bulls, three-time winners of rugby's Super 14 tournament,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43are a team from which country?
0:21:52 > 0:21:57They're all very strong rugby union playing nations,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59so it could be either of the three.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I think I'll plump for Australia.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Australia is the wrong answer. It's actually South Africa.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13So, you've been knocked out by CJ. The Eggheads are pulling level now.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15CJ will be in the final.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Michael, you won't be, and if you both come back to your teams, we will play that final.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It is time for the final round, which is General Knowledge,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but those of you that lost your head-to-heads
0:22:27 > 0:22:30won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32So, Peter and Michael from On The Beat,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36and also Judith and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- So, Gareth, you're now leading the charge.- Yes, I am.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- We haven't heard from you yet, but you do forensics, don't you?- I do.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And inspired at the age of 13 by what?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I read, I was always into general science,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54but I picked up a book from the library, a biography on Sir Bernard Spilsbury,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and from that, I was hooked.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Let's try the Eggheads. Sir Bernard Spilsbury.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Do we know his name?- Yep. - Yep. Forensic pathologist.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Famous for?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The Crippen case was his major one, wasn't it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:12He was called in on many of the major cases in the early part of the 20th century.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16He brought applied science into legal jurisprudence.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Brought it into the court,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21so he was the forerunner of that branch of forensic science.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Fascinating. Well, good luck. - Thank you.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Can't promise that'll come up, but maybe something close to it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Gareth, Will and Andy, you're playing to win On The Beat £22,000.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Kevin, CJ and Chris,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42The questions are General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45On The Beat, the question is are your three brains
0:23:45 > 0:23:47better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- You choose, Gareth. Go on, you choose.- First, please.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Good luck to your whole team, and £22,000 up for grabs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Here's your first question.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04What is the setting for the 2008 film Mamma Mia?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- I think it's in Greece.- I've had to watch it, as well. Greek island.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Greek island.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Greek Island is the right answer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Eggheads, to which creature is the pet name Dobbin commonly applied?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Horse?- Of course it's a horse!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yeah, the old grey matter
0:24:31 > 0:24:32ain't what she used to be.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's a horse, Jeremy.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Dobbin the mule. Dobbin the horse. Correct.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, On The Beat, your second question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44In which year did the form of gambling known as the football pools
0:24:44 > 0:24:46first appear in the UK?
0:24:53 > 0:25:00Anybody got an idea? I know its earlier than '63.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05I remember it being won in the '60s by that Spend Spend Spend.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- She was '63, I think.- Do you think they'd start it in the war?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I haven't got a clue, but I'm thinking,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16was there an Act in a particular year that enabled it to go ahead?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18There was a Gambling Act in '63.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Yeah.- You see it on the side of fruit machines in pubs.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24But did that enable
0:25:24 > 0:25:26the football pools to take place?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I'm not sure. It's the only answer I can think of.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30'43 was a war year,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I wouldn't imagine they'd introduce a Gambling Act in a war year,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and '23 I think is too early, so that's why I'd go for '63.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Shall we go '63?- OK.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43We're not 100% certain, Jeremy, but we're agreeing 1963.
0:25:43 > 0:25:481963 is your answer. It's not '43, you're right, but it's actually '23.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's that early. It does seem very early, Eggheads.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I remember posting my dad's coupons in the '50s,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so it wasn't '63.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58There was very little football during the war,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00so it's got to be '23.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Oh, I see.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04So, it's one point each,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and Eggheads, your second question, to take the lead.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12In the Greek alphabet, which letter comes immediately after lambda?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Mu, because L, M. It's lambda, mu, nu.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I would have said it's mu.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yeah, it's mu, Jeremy.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Mu is the right answer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK, you need this one now, On The Beat.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37The Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan both border which country?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46They're on the north-west, so it's Pakistan.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Pakistan, Jeremy.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Said with great conviction. Appropriately, for police officers.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Pakistan is right. Spot-on.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57We've got to hope the Eggheads get this one wrong,
0:26:57 > 0:26:58and we go to sudden death.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01If they get it right, this contest is over.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Eggheads, the Lutine Bell that hangs in the underwriting room at Lloyds,
0:27:06 > 0:27:13was taken from a ship that sank in 1799, with a cargo of what onboard?
0:27:16 > 0:27:21- Bullion, wasn't it?- Yeah.- That was my instinct.- It's not marble.- No, no.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25It was one of the biggest things Lloyd's had covered up to date,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- wasn't it?- Makes sense.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Yeah, it was a cargo of bullion.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Off the Dutch coast.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43The ship was carrying a cargo of bullion. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44You've won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It was those wretched football pools!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Afterwards, the logic seems obvious,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58but at the time, it's not, it's difficult.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So, thank you for playing, and commiserations.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02- I hope you enjoyed it.- Thank you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06They are good, and as you can see from the size of the jackpot,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09they've had an unholy winning streak, which continues.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12So, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and they've gone on winning.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You won't be going home with the £22,000,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Eggheads, many congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:26 > 0:28:29have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32£23,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
