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 > 0:00:34Their pedigree is well-known, as they've won the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Badgers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45This friends and family team all live on the Badgers estate
0:00:45 > 0:00:48in Buckingham, and they know one another through their children
0:00:48 > 0:00:50attending the same school and football club.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Alan, I'm 51, I'm an accountant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Kip, I'm 22, and I'm a biomedical scientist.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Heather, I'm 49, and I'm an optometrist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Mary, I'm 44, and I work in retail.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Marilyn, I'm 56, and I'm a compliance manager.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11So, Alan and team, welcome.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Thank you.- And the Badgers estate so-called because...?
0:01:15 > 0:01:20I think it's just the rural nature of the development when it was built.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Right, you're an accountant.- I am. - You all do different things, I know,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26but your children are what you have in common?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Yes. Obviously, Heather and I had the same children.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31They went to the same school
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and attended a football club which was Moretonville Juniors.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Do you quiz together?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- We attend local quizzes. - OK. Good luck here.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:42 > 0:01:46for our challengers - however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48the prize money rolls over again.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51So, the Badgers, the Eggheads have won the last 22 games,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56which means £23,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You're an accountant, you know how much that is!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Including VAT.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts and Books.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Who would like this, challengers? - So who's going for it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Was that you or Marilyn? - Mum?- Marilyn?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I don't mind.- Do you want to have a go?- You or I?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- I don't mind.- And which Egghead are we going to go for?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So who's doing it? Heather? Marilyn? I am.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Marilyn, you've been volunteered against...?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Who do you want to go for? - I'll go for Chris.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30OK, Marilyn from the Badgers against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38So Marilyn, you work in a supermarket?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39That's right.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Doing what kind of thing?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm a compliance manager.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45It's my role to make sure the store trades legally.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And you have, I understand, triplets?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Yes, they're all boys and they're 21 years old, all at university,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54costing me just a little amount of money.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Triplets at 21!
0:02:56 > 0:03:00What a... Describe the last 21 years in one word.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Long! JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:02 > 0:03:06On the subject of triplets, we've got three multiple choice questions
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I think I'm going to let Chris go first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Here we go, Arts and Books, Chris, your first question.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Which 19th-century novel is subtitled
0:03:20 > 0:03:22The Autobiography of a Horse?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That is Black Beauty, Jeremy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Black Beauty is the right answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Marilyn, here's your question.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The Booker Prize-winning author Peter Carey was born
0:03:37 > 0:03:38in which country?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47I'm not 100% sure on that one.
0:03:48 > 0:03:55I don't think he's Canadian and he doesn't sound very Irish to me,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57so I'm going to go for Australia.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well done, Australia is correct.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Chris, "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
0:04:03 > 0:04:05"to have a thankless child,"
0:04:05 > 0:04:07is a line from which Shakespeare play?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Said about one of his daughters by King Lear.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18King Lear is the right answer. Or two of his daughters?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Mm, yeah, cos it's only Cordelia. That's the last one, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26OK, Marilyn, which was the first of James Patterson's novels
0:04:26 > 0:04:27to feature Alex Cross?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34OK.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Can I have Chris' previous question, please, because I have never read
0:04:38 > 0:04:45any Patterson novels, so this is going to be an absolute guess.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And we'll go for the 4th of July.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggheads?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Along Came A Spider.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Along Came A Spider is the answer. Who's read Patterson? Anyone here?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You have? Did you like him?
0:04:57 > 0:05:03It's sort of like, you don't have to think too much when you read it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05So that's why you do them, then?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Yeah, it's sort of like candy floss for the brain.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- And Alex Cross is a detective? - Yes.- Chris, your question.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16The mural known as the Aldobrandini Wedding
0:05:16 > 0:05:17was painted in which period?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If you get this right, you've got the round.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, I don't think it's Roman.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30And I think Renaissance art tended to focus on religious subjects.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36It sounds a bit Rubenesque to me, which would make it Rococo.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's not Rococo. It is Roman, funnily enough.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41What does it depict?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Anyone describe the scene?- No. - Couple of people?- I don't know.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Someone drinking.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Marilyn, to draw level.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Who wrote A Time of Gifts,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55a famous piece of travel writing published in 1977?
0:06:01 > 0:06:051977.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I don't know any works of Patrick Leigh Fermor.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I don't associate Gavin Maxwell with travel writing,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19so I think I'm going to have to go for Lawrence Durrell,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21but I don't know.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23See if Chris knows this one. Chris, is she right?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I think she may be, Jeremy, yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30No, you're wrong. Patrick Leigh Fermor is the answer, Marilyn.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34So, Chris has taken the round with his two correct answers.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Can you please, both of you, come back here and rejoin your teams?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42So as it stands the challengers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46The next subject is Geography.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Who would like Geography? - You'd be Music.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Probably.- Got to be you, Alan.- OK.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Alan? OK.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- It'll be me, Jeremy.- Alan on Geography against which Egghead?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I'd like to take Daphne, please.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Did you sigh then, Daphne?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- No!- You looked a little bit weary.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Well, I wasn't expecting it.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Most people pick CJ.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11So Alan from the Badgers against Daphne from the Eggheads
0:07:11 > 0:07:14on Geography, please do go to the Question Rooms now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Here we go. Three questions for you,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19multiple choice, the subject is Geography,
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- and Alan, you can choose the first or the second set of questions. - I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Here we go. The town of Bakewell, home of the Bakewell pudding,
0:07:30 > 0:07:31is located in which national park?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Well, Bakewell is in Derbyshire, so it must be in the Peak District.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Peak District is correct.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Daphne, which two colours feature on the flag of Albania?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54It's...
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Um, it's a black eagle on a red background.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Black and red.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Black and red is correct, Daphne. Nice one!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Back to you, Alan.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11For what does the word ciudad usually stand for in Spanish
0:08:11 > 0:08:13or South American place names?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I'll spell it for you - C-I-U-D-A-D. Ciudad.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25I don't know this one, so it's going to be a complete guess,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and I'm going to guess...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32city.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yeah, sounds a bit like city, or it's got that sort of a sound to it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Ciudad, city, correct.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Daphne, how many countries border the Black Sea?
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Anything that starts off "How many," my heart sinks.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The Black Sea.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Six.- Six is correct.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Can you name them?- No! - Any Egghead name them?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Come on, give it a go!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09- No.- Eh?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Oh, no, there's Ukraine, Georgia.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Georgia, one more. Biggest one.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- Russia.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20How's that, Daphne?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- They can name them!- Yeah!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Six is right.- But I can guess it!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You got the answer, well done. Third question, Alan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Which lake in central Switzerland has the German name
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Vierwaldstattersee, or Lake of the Four Forested Cantons?
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I don't know. Lake Geneva is in the west of Switzerland.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It must be one of the other two.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Again, 50/50, Lake Lucerne.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Lake Lucerne is correct.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Daphne, he's almost as good as you at the old guesswork!
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Your question.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Which city on the edge of the Volga River Delta,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09about 60 miles from the Caspian Sea,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12has long been associated with the production of caviar?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20No, I don't know, Jeremy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I would guess at Astrakhan.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26How do you do that? How do you do that?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Astrakhan is correct.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I just begin to think it's not a guess, it is your...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34the subconscious of Daphne,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38with an amazing, just, little twinkle there.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41OK, we go to Sudden Death, Alan, because you're equal.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44So it gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Which Central American nation's name,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50when translated into English, means "rich coast?"
0:10:51 > 0:10:53That would be Costa Rica.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Costa Rica is correct.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Daphne, the Great Sandy Desert is the second largest desert
0:10:58 > 0:11:00in which country?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Australia.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Australia is correct. There is a Great Sandy in the USA,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09but it's not the second largest, by the way,
0:11:09 > 0:11:13for anyone looking at that askance.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Next question.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Of which landlocked African country is N'Djamena the capital?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I believe that's Chad, Jeremy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Very well done, it is Chad.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27N'Djamena.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32OK. Daphne, the Lincoln Tunnel links New Jersey
0:11:32 > 0:11:34to which New York borough?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- If you get this wrong you're out. - I know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Queens.- No, Daphne. Manhattan.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So, well done, Alan, you're in the final round!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You've knocked out one of our Eggheads
0:11:52 > 0:11:54who won't be in the final, and you will be.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Please, both of you, come back here and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02So as it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06but they won't be a walkover. The Eggheads have lost one brain as well.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The next subject is Film and TV.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Which of you would like this? - That'd be Mary.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Yes.- Mary, OK. Against?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Barry, I think.- OK.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Barry? Right, Mary from the Badgers against Barry,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23right down the end of our Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26would you please go to the Question Room now?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28All right, Mary, good luck in this round.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Three questions on Film or TV, and Mary, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I think I'll go first.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Here we go. The American-born director Richard Lester
0:12:40 > 0:12:44made two films in the 1960s featuring which British band?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Well, only because they're the only band that I'm aware of that did films
0:12:55 > 0:13:00in the '60s, I think I'm going to have to plump for The Beatles.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02And you're absolutely right. The Beatles is the right answer.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Barry, your question.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08In the 2003 film Lost in Translation,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11the characters played by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson
0:13:11 > 0:13:12meet in which city?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18They meet in Tokyo,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and the interesting thing is that one of the best scenes in that film
0:13:22 > 0:13:23is at Shibuya crossing,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26which is where all those zebra crossings converge
0:13:26 > 0:13:28with hundreds of thousands of people every day.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30When my son worked in Japan,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32he had a flat just 100 yards away from that crossing.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34What's it called again?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Shibuya crossing.- Shibuya crossing. Tokyo's correct, Barry.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40There's one in Oxford Circus now.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42At Oxford Circus, instead of the, you know,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44the normal right-angle crossings,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46they've got a diagonal one across the middle.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48That's true, yes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51In the first year it was used by 19 million people.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Wow!- Isn't that incredible?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56OK. Back to you, Mary.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Which comic actor starred alongside Doris Day and Rock Hudson
0:14:01 > 0:14:04in the films Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and Send Me No Flowers?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Ooh, that's a little bit before my time, I think.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I vaguely remember watching some films of hers on the telly,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21but I'm going to have to guess...
0:14:24 > 0:14:28..and go for Tony Curtis.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30See if your team know here. Anyone know?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Tony Randall.- Tony Randall it is.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Tony Randall.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So Barry, you have a chance to take the lead now. Here we go.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40The US TV series Glee
0:14:40 > 0:14:43is set in a high school named after which US President?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49That's the William McKinley High School.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It is, indeed, William McKinley.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Have you seen this programme?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I've seen it once.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I do sing along with some of the songs, though.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's a sensation. I haven't seen it. Anyone?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- CJ?- I've never seen it, no.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It is quite entertaining, if you like that sort of thing.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Ah! Chris reveals himself, suddenly, as a fan of Glee.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11So it's two points to Barry,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15and Mary, one point to you. You do need this one now, OK?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20In which year was the short-lived Albion Market first broadcast?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Right, I do vaguely remember this.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It definitely wasn't 1990.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I'm thinking 1980 is a tad too early.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Or is it?
0:15:43 > 0:15:48I think I'm going to go for 1985. That was my first gut instinct.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You play well! 1985 is the right answer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55So you're still in it. You just need to quietly and discreetly
0:15:55 > 0:15:56send up a little prayer now!
0:15:56 > 0:16:00That's interesting, cos that's the year that EastEnders started.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Was it radio or TV? - Well, it'll be Market TV.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- It'll be Market TV?- TV.- Barry, get this right and you're in the final.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The 1958 film The Moonraker, starring George Baker,
0:16:10 > 0:16:11is set during which conflict?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I believe The Moonraker is set during the English Civil War.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23English Civil War is the correct answer, Barry.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You've taken the round. Mary, you played really well.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You couldn't quite dislodge him, so Barry will be
0:16:29 > 0:16:31in the final and you won't.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38So the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42The last subject before the final is Music.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Which of you wants this? - That would be me.- Kip, OK.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48CJ or Kevin?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Well, who do you fancy? - CJ or Kevin?- You pick.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Then I can blame you if it goes wrong!- Try Kevin.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Let's try Kevin if that's all right?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Kip from the Badgers against Kevin, on Music, from the Eggheads.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Please take your positions now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Kip, I hardly know where to start.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You're a biomedical scientist, you're involved in the Guides,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12you campaign against airbrushing and you attend sci-fi conventions.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Yes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Where do we start? Music, I suppose.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- And you're answering questions on Music.- Hopefully!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What do you hope to do in the next few years?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I work, well, specialise in immunology,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26so I'm hoping to get a job in an immunology lab,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28mainly doing cellular work,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32working with lymphocytes, other white blood cells, immunodeficiencies.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Would you have done Science if it had come up?- Possibly!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Good luck in Music, three questions. What sort of music do you like?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- Rock music, ska music, jazz music. - OK, you're up against Kevin
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and you can choose the first or the second set
0:17:46 > 0:17:48of multiple choice questions.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'll go second, please.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54So Kevin, we meet again! Here we go.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57What was the title of the single
0:17:57 > 0:18:00released in November 2010 by Take That,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04their first single with Robbie Williams back in the band?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I believe that's called The Flood.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The Flood is absolutely right.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Kip, your question.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Cliff Richard's Number One UK single The Millennium Prayer consisted
0:18:21 > 0:18:24of words from the Lord's Prayer set to the tune of which song?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31That's Auld Lang Syne.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35It is, indeed, Auld Lang Syne. Well done.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38OK, second questions now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Kevin, polka music is traditionally composed in what time?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'm not very good on time signatures, I'm afraid.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55I don't think it's 4/4.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I think I'll try 2/4.
0:18:58 > 0:19:002/4 is your answer. Barry, you know this?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, polka music is fast, so I would have said it's 4/4.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06No, you'd be wrong actually. 2/4 is correct.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Kevin's got it right.- Wow!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10What got you there, Kevin?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Well, memory I hope. I mean, I was trying to...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I knew I'd read it somewhere, what the time signature was,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and I was just hoping that was ringing a bell more than 3/4,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21so it was, obviously.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23What does polka... How does the beat sound ?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26JEREMY MIMICS JAWS THEME
0:19:26 > 0:19:29No, that's Jaws, isn't it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Kip, your question.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37The Wanderer and Runaround Sue were hit singles in the UK
0:19:37 > 0:19:39in the '60s for which American singer?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I have absolutely no idea,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49so I'll go straight down the middle with Buddy Holly.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52No, it's not, it's actually Dion.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Kevin, your third question.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Which singer lends her name to the prestigious
0:19:59 > 0:20:04annual singing competition, first held in 1956, that takes place
0:20:04 > 0:20:08before a public audience at the Wigmore Hall in London every April?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Yeah, I believe it was probably not that long after she died.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22It wouldn't be long after she died, so it's Kathleen Ferrier.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Kathleen Ferrier is the right answer.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29It is that singer. Well done, you got three out of three. Sorry, Kip.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32One is enough to let him in.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34He will be in the final, and you won't be.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And if you both come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, it was never going to be easy, was it?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Kip, you were up against him.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Yeah!- On Music.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We needed Science, maybe?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- It would've been better! - OK, but you've done well.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51You've beaten them in two rounds.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53How's the team spirit, Alan?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Well, we'll give it a go. - Well, let's see how you do.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57This is what we've played towards.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:03 > 0:21:04can't take part in this round.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08So Kip, Mary and Marilyn from the Badgers,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Alan and Heather, you're playing to win the Badgers £23,000.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:21 > 0:21:23the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28This time, the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:28 > 0:21:32and you are allowed to confer. So, the Badgers, the question is,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35are you two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- And would you like to go first or second?- First?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Alan and Heather, good luck to you. Here we go, final round, £23,000.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48In the Ancient Greek and Roman Empires,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51an odeon was a hall built for what?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- It's not physical exercise.- Odeon.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01There's cinemas named after Odeon, isn't there?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- I think it's entertainment. - It's got to be entertainment.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Shall we go for entertainment? - Yeah. Entertainment.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Entertainment is the right answer, well done.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14The dance known as the rumba is particularly associated
0:22:14 > 0:22:16with which island?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20EGGHEADS: Cuba.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We think that one's Cuba, Jeremy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Cuba is correct.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Back to you, Badgers.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Stephane Henchoz earned 72 caps
0:22:30 > 0:22:32playing for which national football team?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Stephane Henchoz.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Henchoz. Stephane sounds Germanic, doesn't it?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So it would be...
0:22:44 > 0:22:45I doubt if it's Russia.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Something's telling me it's Switzerland
0:22:50 > 0:22:54because of the cosmopolitan nature of the country.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- What do you think?- Happy to go along with Switzerland if you want to.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58It's a guess, but go for it.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I don't know.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02We'll go for Switzerland.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Switzerland is correct. Well done.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Your team are relieved behind you!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Eggheads, your question.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15The Bouvier des Flandres is a breed of which creature?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Does anybody actually... - No.- Anybody actually know this?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Because one of those popped into my head before it came up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well, I like chicken, but anyway.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Which one popped in your head? - Dog.- Oh.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35What do I know about a dog of Flanders?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Right, are there any of them we can definitively eliminate,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42or think we can eliminate?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Well, yeah, chicken.- Chicken seems unreasonable, doesn't seem right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Cows are all Friesians.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51There are a lot of weird, bizarre chickens, though.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Yeah, but it's for show, though.- Yeah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Go with the only person who's got a glimmer of something.- Mm-hmm.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- That's you, Kevin. - Which may be wrong.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01It's more than we've got.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It popped into my head before, so I don't know.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07If it popped into your head before the options came up,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08that's good enough.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- If nobody's got any good reason to go for anything else, no?- No.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Nothing at all. OK.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It is, without a shadow of a doubt, dog.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Your answer is dog. You said "chicken," though, CJ.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21I don't know what you mean!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Chicken would have been wrong. Dog is right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Dog is correct.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Oh, you so nearly had them there!
0:24:28 > 0:24:32On an animal, appropriately, as well, you Badgers.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So, as you know from watching Eggheads,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37the third question is a very important question.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Get this right,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43you put them under pressure, and if they get theirs wrong, you've won all the money.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45But you've got to get this right first.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Which publisher claims it is the oldest printer and publisher
0:24:49 > 0:24:54in the world, having operated continuously since 1584?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Do you know?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06I'd be inclined to say not Pergamon, unless...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Do you have any idea, or is it just a guess?- No.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That's just...
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Um...
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I suppose I would guess Cambridge University.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Cambridge University's been around a long time.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22We know it was around then, so yeah, shall we go with that?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Yeah, let's do it.- OK.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28We'll go with Cambridge University Press.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Gosh, you're very swift and decisive, you two. You're right.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34It's Cambridge University Press.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37They're already celebrating as if you won, backstage. So let's see.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40This is interesting. You've played very well.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44I'm surprised you only got two in the final, cos you played a very good game.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Three questions right, couldn't ask for more than that.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48£23,000 on the table.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's a big jackpot. If the Eggheads get this wrong, you win it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You've won the lot! You don't have to do anything more.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Eggheads, which word can be slang for both a skeleton key
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and a prison warder?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Twirl.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10"Some dodgy twirl. Some bent screw." I'd go for twirl.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I've heard it in that context but I had no idea what it was.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yeah, it's a dodgy twirl.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19We think that might be twirl, Jeremy.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Twirl is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25So you've got three too, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- It was never going to be easy, was it?- No.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32£23,000, gets a bit harder now. I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:33 > 0:26:40BIH is the international vehicle registration code for which country?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Do you know?- No.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Um, things like Guernsey. What do they start with?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50GB, so it's not them. No.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51BI.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I wonder if it's British...
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Honduras?
0:26:58 > 0:26:59No, that's Belize now.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04BI.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09We could try Belize, which was British Honduras.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Might have changed, they might have kept the registration.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13- Yeah, It's possible.- Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Shall we go Belize?- Belize.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Your answer is Belize.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Eggheads, do you know this?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Bosnia and Herzegovina.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Ah!- Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29In Bosnian, that's Bosna e Herzegovina.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31E being I.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Eggheads, if you get this right, you've won the contest.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38In which British city is St Fagan's Castle, a 16th-century manor house
0:27:38 > 0:27:42which now features an open-air museum within its grounds?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- You've been there.- I've been there, yeah. It's Cardiff.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's F-A-G-A-N, is it?
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- F-A-G-A-N.- Yeah, that's Cardiff.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56If you have this right you've taken the contest,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and I won't say taken the money. You don't get it!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01No, if only!
0:28:01 > 0:28:05But the money will stand for the next contest.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The correct answer is Cardiff.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Congratulations Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Commiserations to you challengers.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- They play well.- They do.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Good game. The challengers have lost, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and their winning streak continues.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30I'm afraid that does mean you don't go home with the £23,000,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:40 > 0:28:42to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43£24,000 says they don't.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye.
