0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11They make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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, 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 > 0:00:32Their pedigree is well-known.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36They've won the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Glebe Glimmers. This team are all members
0:00:42 > 0:00:44of the Whickham Glebe Sports Club.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48They've been competing in the Wednesday night quiz
0:00:48 > 0:00:51at the club for over ten years. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello, my name's Alan.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58I'm 63 years of age and I'm a retired customer services advisor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Bill. I'm 66 and I'm now retired from the printing industry.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Audrey. I'm 64 and a retired university library assistant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Fred. I'm 70 years old and a retired office manager.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hello, my name's Peter. I'm 54 years old, and a financial controller.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Alan and team, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Good to see you. So, tell me about the quiz. Is it ferocious?
0:01:22 > 0:01:28Oh, yes. It's very competitive. And the team that I've got tonight
0:01:28 > 0:01:32are selected from different teams, so it's not one team represented.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- So the cream of the crop is what we've got.- Well, hopefully.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41OK. And the club itself is cricket and football?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Yeah, it's mainly cricket and football.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- I'm assuming you play both?- Once upon a time, many years ago. Not now.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- So you're social members? - We are all social members.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Or rather quiz members, we could say.- You certainly could.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- And you're Glimmers because you have a...?- A glimmer of hope!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I'm sure more than that! OK, well good luck.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, Glebe Glimmers, I can tell you,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- the Eggheads have won the last 23 games.- Good grief!
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Yeah, £24,000 says you can't beat them. Good luck.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Thank you.- The first head-to-head battle is on Film & TV.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Which one of you would like this?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- It's going to have to be me. - Yeah, Peter.- Peter?
0:02:32 > 0:02:37OK, which Egghead would you like to see the end credits roll early for?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I was just thinking Chris, yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Yes, Chris.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46So, Peter from the Glebe Glimmers against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48To make sure there's no conferring,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Peter, good luck in this round. Film & TV it is.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Would you like the first or second set?- I'll take the second.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Chris, your question. Which TV sitcom featured Hugo,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09the rather dim-witted son of local millionaire David Horton?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Ah, yes, he married the equally dim church warden, didn't he?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- That's The Vicar of Dibley. - The Vicar of Dibley is correct.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Over to you, Peter.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28With which role within the food industry is MasterChef presenter
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Gregg Wallace most associated?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Not really up to date on my cookery programmes, I must admit.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I prefer to eat rather than to watch them.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Erm...
0:03:45 > 0:03:50..I would have to take a guess at this and say pastry chef.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- See if anyone on your team knows. Anybody?- He's a greengrocer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Greengrocer is the right answer, Peter. Chris, to take the lead.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04In the 2004 film Sideways, the two leading male characters
0:04:04 > 0:04:07take off on a road trip through the wine country
0:04:07 > 0:04:09of which American state?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I wouldn't care to try a wine in Nevada or Massachusetts,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18where it's too cold, so it's got to be California.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22California is correct. Peter, back to you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27The 2002 film, All Or Nothing, featuring Lesley Manville
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and Timothy Spall was made by which director?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37All Or Nothing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Timothy Spall...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I don't think it's Paul Greengrass.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Out of the other two, I would prob...go for Mike Leigh.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Well done, you're absolutely right. Mike Leigh it was.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Over to you, Chris.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Which composer's music is played over loudspeakers
0:04:59 > 0:05:02by Tim Robbins' character in a famous scene
0:05:02 > 0:05:05from The Shawshank Redemption?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Never seen The Shawshank Redemption.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Err...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19..over loudspeakers.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'll just take a punt on Mozart, Jeremy.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Barry, is he right?- Yes, it's The Marriage of Figaro from Mozart.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Chris, you're right. Sorry, Peter, he's got you there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The one wrong answer proved fatal. Do please both of you
0:05:38 > 0:05:41come back to us here in the studio.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The next subject is History.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Which of you would like History?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Bill's the history man.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Bill's taking it.- Bill, OK. Against which Egghead, Bill?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Any suggestions, anybody?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Barry? Which one d'you want?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah, we'll go with Barry.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07So, Bill from Glebe Glimmers against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Please go to the question room now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, I reckon you're looking forward to this round, Bill.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Oh, well, I hope so!- You love your history, don't you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I do, yes, very much.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21So it's History, and it's three questions. Multiple choice.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Bill, first or second?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Erm...I'll follow Peter and hope I'm lucky. I'll go second.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Barry, here we go. The Hohenzollern Dynasty
0:06:32 > 0:06:36were kings of which country from 1701?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Hohenzollerns were the kings of Prussia.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Prussia is the right answer, Barry.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I'm sure you knew that, Bill. - Hmm...I'd have guessed, maybe.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54King George V was one of the foremost collectors,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56in his time, of what?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Err...yes, I don't know exactly,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07but I can't imagine him putting beer mats on the wall.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Postcards, I suppose would be a possibility.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15But I think I would favour stamps. Stamps would be my answer.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Stamps is correct. Well done.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Another point to your team. Here we go, Barry, your question.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24The shops, houses and other buildings that lined
0:07:24 > 0:07:27the original stone-built London Bridge
0:07:27 > 0:07:29were ordered to be demolished in which decade?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38That's a good question, and I'm not quite sure of the answer.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I think it was earlier rather than later.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I think it might even have been as early as the 1550s.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I don't recall seeing any pictures from the 17th century onwards,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57so I'll go for the 1550s.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Nice use of logic, but you're wrong. 1750s it was.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Bill, your question.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07The Battle of Ascalon was part of which larger conflict?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ascalon...
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Ascalon...
0:08:20 > 0:08:26I don't think it's Crimean. So I'll guess, really I'm guessing here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Ascalon sounds as though, possibly it's...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'll go for the Thirty Years' War.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34See if Barry knows. Barry?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Ascalon's on the coast of Israel. It was a battle in the First Crusade.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42First Crusade, Bill. So you're level. One point each.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Third question, Barry. Which historical figure became famous
0:08:46 > 0:08:50for setting out a network of roads in the Scottish Highlands
0:08:50 > 0:08:51in the 18th century?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58It was George Wade.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00George Wade is the correct answer. Well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Bill, during the Medieval period, what was a birlinn?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Take your time, you've got to get this right to stay in.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's going to be a shot in the dark, really. A birlinn.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Doesn't sound like a feasting hall that I've ever come across.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Sea vessel, possible, but I'm not so sure.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I've got a feeling it could possibly be a broadsword.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Broadsword is your answer. Actually it's sea vessel.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So, you got that wrong.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Sorry, Bill, you won't be in the final,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and Barry will cos he's won through on History.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And if you come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55So, Alan, what now?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, we've got to try a bit harder and hopefully,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00or a bit luckier, I should say.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Every question's easy if you know the answer,
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- but if you don't know, you have to guess.- The glimmer mustn't fade.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- It mustn't fade.- Keep the glimmer! - We'll keep the glimmer going.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16As it stands, the Glebe Glimmers have lost two brains from the final.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. The next subject is Sport.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- That's good, isn't it? - Yes, we're going to
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- have to confer on this one.- OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Yes.- Definitely not me. - We'll confer. It's you.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32A quick confer, we have got sort of tactics going here.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36So, I'm going to be the lamb to the slaughter on Sport.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38OK, Alan, against who?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Erm...CJ, please.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Alan from the Glebe Glimmers against CJ from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And please, if you would go to the question room now.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Alan, good luck. Sport is the subject,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54and would you like the first or the second set of questions?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The other members went second. It hasn't worked,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59so I'll go first please.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Here we go, good luck.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08The footballer Jack Wilshere, who made his first league appearance
0:11:08 > 0:11:12for Arsenal in 2008, made his debut for which national team in 2010?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I don't think it's England.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And I'm trying to think if he's Scottish or Welsh.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I think he's Scottish. I'll go with Scotland.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Any of your team know?- He's English. - I thought he was English.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Yeah, England is the team, Alan.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Hope that's not costly for you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41CJ, Joost van der Westhuizen is a famous name in which sport?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Problem is, his name is almost identical
0:11:51 > 0:11:53to a guy who sponsors a chess tournament.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I just hope I'm not confusing him with him.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Erm...I'm fairly sure it's not tennis. Erm...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06..and I don't think it's athletics.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11At least, I don't recognise the name.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18And, Westhuizen is a Dutch or Afrikaans word,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21so you can understand it would be rugby union.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Athletics is the one I'm niggling about,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- but I'm going to go for rugby union. - Rugby union is correct.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32CJ, you've got a point.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Alan, the Formula One driver Nico Hulkenberg
0:12:35 > 0:12:37was born in which country?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45It's H-U-umlaut, L-K-E-N-B-E-R-G.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Hulkenberg.- Yep.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It sounds German. But...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55whether it is or not...Finland?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Poland?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It sounds German so I'll go Germany.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'm glad you did. Germany is the right answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13CJ, what was Geoffrey Boycott's test match batting average for England?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24There are very, very few test cricketers
0:13:24 > 0:13:27who have an average above 50. Very few.
0:13:27 > 0:13:3267 is exceptionally high, so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38I've seen a list of batting averages of England players,
0:13:38 > 0:13:44and I seem to remember, I actually thought the top one was about 48.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Would pretty much draw me to one specific answer there.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I mean, over 50 would be exceptional.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Geoffrey Boycott was exceptional, but nearly 58 is very high.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Simply because the number that came into my head
0:14:05 > 0:14:09before the options came up was 48, I will try 47.73.
0:14:09 > 0:14:1247.73 is the right answer.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Alan, you need
0:14:14 > 0:14:17to get this one right because of your earlier wrong answer.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Which boxer won the WBC Light Middleweight Title in 1979,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26by defeating Rocky Mattioli?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Well, before that came up, Maurice Hope,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I was thinking about that boxer,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but now that you've put the other two up,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm starting to doubt myself.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Terry Spinks, Maurice Hope, Robin Reid.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Well, before you put them up there, Maurice Hope came to us,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so I'm going to stick with Maurice Hope.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- You like your boxing, do you? - I watch a little bit of it, yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Maurice Hope is right, Alan. - Yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Well done. Now you have to hope that CJ gets this one wrong.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Get this right, you're in the final.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13What name is given to a member of the crew of a racing yacht,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16whose main task is to operate the winches?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22So no snooker then, eh?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Did my best!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Well, if you winch something you grind it around, I suppose.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Can't work...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36can't see it being grappler.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40You could also grunt, I suppose, cos it would be hard work.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46But, winches grind around, so I will try grinder.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Grinder is your answer. Eggheads? - Grinder.- It's a grinder.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Grinder is right. CJ, you've taken the round. Well done.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Sorry, Alan, bad luck. You won't be in the final.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The captain will not be present when they play the final round.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Do please both of you come back to us, now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09So, £24,000 to play for. The Glebe Glimmers started with a glimmer.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12We hope it hasn't burnt away.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17They have lost three brains, and the Eggheads are still intact.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19The last subject is Food & Drink.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Who would like this? - It's one of you two.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, it's one of us, Audrey.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Audrey or Fred?- I'll have a go, but...- Well done, Audrey.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- ..food is not my strong point, apart from eating it!- Come on!
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Before you go, just choose an Egghead. Daphne or Pat?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- I'll have Pat.- Yes.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41OK, Audrey from the Glebe Glimmers against Pat, on the end,
0:16:41 > 0:16:42for the Eggheads.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Please go to the question room now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Audrey, Food & Drink we're on.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Choose the first or second set of questions.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52I'll go first, please.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Good luck. Audrey, what name is given to a restaurant
0:16:58 > 0:17:02where roast joints of meat are sliced and served to order?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08That's definitely a carvery.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Carvery is the right answer, well done. Pat, your question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Which type of pasta takes its name from the Italian
0:17:17 > 0:17:18for "little ribbons?"
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Well, I think penne are named after quills.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32As in, bird, feather, quills. They're tubular chaps.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37And tortellini, perhaps, little cake, little...thing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think the ribbony ones are fettuccine.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Fettuccine is correct. The ribbony ones.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Audrey, your question. In culinary terms, what is London particular?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Never heard of a London particular. Erm...
0:18:01 > 0:18:07Apple crumble, I don't think so. Beef and ale pie, possibly.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10But I wonder if pea and ham soup's something to do
0:18:10 > 0:18:14with fog and London smog. I'll go for pea and ham soup.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Pea and ham soup is the right answer. Nice work. Good quizzing.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Pat, the town of Tewkesbury is historically famous
0:18:21 > 0:18:24for a style of which condiment?
0:18:31 > 0:18:36I wasn't aware it had a claim to fame of that sort.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Tewkesbury...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Tomato ketchup, well, ketchup is a melee word,
0:18:43 > 0:18:48so I presume it had its origins in Britain during the time
0:18:48 > 0:18:53of the Empire, and it's also very popular in America.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Mustard, I tend to link
0:18:56 > 0:19:00with East Anglia, and perhaps even the north-east of England.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03But again, it could be in Tewkesbury as well.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Cranberry sauce is a slightly American sauce.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm sure it's used in England.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17But cranberries are grown in a very strange way.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19They're grown in flooded ponds.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23So, I don't know if they grow many cranberries in England.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30And they would have to be grown to be turned into sauce in Tewkesbury.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm a bit puzzled with this.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I've never heard of it in relation to mustard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41But then I've never heard of it in relation to anything.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'll go for mustard, but it's a punt. I've no idea whatsoever.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I can see that Daphne knows the answer. Is he right, Daphne?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Yes. It's a very strong mustard,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and Shakespeare mentions it in one of his plays,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58but I can't remember which one.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01What does he say? He says something about Tewkesbury and mustard?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Yes, very strong. As strong as Tewkesbury mustard.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08As strong as Tewkesbury mustard? You think that might be
0:20:08 > 0:20:09in a Shakespeare play somewhere?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Very good reference point there. So, Pat, mustard is right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Audrey, sorry. I thought he was going to go
0:20:16 > 0:20:17off the cliff, there.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Your question. Which grape is used to make the French white wine
0:20:21 > 0:20:24called Pouilly-Fume?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Pouilly-Fume...Fume's smoked.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's not a Muscat, I don't think.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46It's a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55I will go for Sauvignon Blanc.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Sauvignon Blanc is the right answer. You're playing really well, Audrey.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Pat, you're under pressure again.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05If you get this one wrong, you're out.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09An Oxford John steak is taken from which type of meat?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Good golly.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19An Oxford John steak.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I can't particularly link any of those animals
0:21:30 > 0:21:33to the Oxfordshire Home Counties area.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35There would have been woodlands, royal woods
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and all the rest of it many years ago, so it could be venison.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Pigs are reared everywhere. Lamb,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46although perhaps slightly linked with the uplands, nonetheless,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50lamb can be reared on ordinary flat ground as well.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I've no idea. Once again, I'm guessing.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And this Russian roulette must eventually end badly for me.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I'll go for venison.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Venison is your answer. This is a difficult round, Pat.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I haven't seen you struggle in a round like this before!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- They're hard questions. - But is Food & Drink...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- are you getting into Kevin Zen on Food & Drink?- Oh, God, no.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16The answer's lamb. So, you've been knocked out.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You're not in the final. Well done, Audrey, you're in the final.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23You have beaten an Egghead. So, it's more than a glimmer now.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Do both please rejoin your teams and we will play that final round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Well, Daphne, I've had a good think
0:22:31 > 0:22:34and I've remembered where the mustard line comes from.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Right.- OK? Henry IV?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I was right, yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43And Falstaff says, "His wit is as thick..."
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Oh.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- "..as Tewkesbury mustard."- Yes.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I had a feeling it was Falstaff.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52That's not bad, is it? She just picks a little phrase out.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Very good.- Very good. So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08So, Alan, Bill and Pete from the Glebe Glimmers,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12and also Pat from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:23:12 > 0:23:17So, Fred and Audrey, good luck to you both. Fred, tell us about you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Oh, well, I'm quite old. I'm well retired.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Used to work for British Gas. - How long for?- Oh, 30 years.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Really?- Yes.- That is a career.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30And I like travelling, natural history and quizzing.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- And you watch this programme?- No, I've never seen this programme(!)
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I watch it every night, thank you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Well, now you're on it, and good luck.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44We've got a big jackpot for you, £24,000, so Audrey and Fred,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47you're playing to win that money for the Glebe Glimmers.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something
0:23:50 > 0:23:52which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58This time the questions are General Knowledge
0:23:58 > 0:24:02and you are allowed to confer. So, Glebe Glimmers, the question is,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Audrey and Fred, good luck.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Which musician did Courtney Love marry in 1992?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Kurt Cobain.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Yes, we're happy with Kurt Cobain.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Wow, straight to it!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Kurt Cobain is correct. Well done.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The lead singer with...?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Nirvana.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Very good! And you're 70, Fred! Doing well.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- I think so!- Doing well, knowing about Nirvana at 70.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42OK. Eggheads,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44the civil engineer Robert Stephenson,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47who built the railway bridge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50was what relation to George Stephenson,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53the pioneering railway engineer?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59If only we had somebody who knew about this sort of thing(!)
0:24:59 > 0:25:02He was his son.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Son is correct.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Back to you, Glebe Glimmers.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Which borough of New York City is the largest in area?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15- Staten Island isn't...- Small.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Staten Island's small, so it's between Queens and Manhattan.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Which one is Central Park in? - Manhattan.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27What do you fancy of them?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Toss-up between Manhattan and Queens.- Yep.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35The largest borough. Manhattan's long and narrow.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38What d'you fancy? Manhattan or Queens?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Manhattan.- Manhattan. - We think Manhattan.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's wrong. It's Queens.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Queens is the largest borough of New York City. OK, Eggheads.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51To take the lead.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55The group of Celtic languages called Goidelic include
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and which other?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I would have gone for Manx.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- I don't think it's Cornish... - That is Brythonic.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I would have gone for Manx.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Also geographically. - Geographically, yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Cornish and Breton are related. - Cornish and Breton are quite related.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Sure it's not Breton? - No, I think that's Brythonic.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Different sort of language.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32We are going to say Manx.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Manx is correct.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37So, we know what this means.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Our Glimmers, we've got to get this one right.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The Ark Royal, that was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1985,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49became what number vessel to bear the name Ark Royal?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Alan would know that. - He would.- He would.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Have you any thoughts at all?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- There's been quite a lot. - Aye, aye.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Cos it's way back to the 17...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07it's been 1700s onwards.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I think we might go with the 6th.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Yes, we don't know this, but we think it's the 6th.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14The answer is the 5th.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- The 5th.- Never mind.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Bad luck. Bad luck. - Never mind. Nice experience.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38It was great fun having you, and commiserations to you.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The jackpot being high is great, but it reminds us how good they are.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- They are, yes.- Exactly.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48With your Tewkesbury mustard, Daphne, and all that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- Where did that come from?- Well, I did Henry IV Part One and Two
0:27:53 > 0:27:56for O-Levels. So, that was 50-odd years ago.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- Yeah, quite.- Her ego's big enough! Stop paying her condiments!
0:28:01 > 0:28:03The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and their winning streak continues.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £24,000
0:28:08 > 0:28:11so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:18 > 0:28:21have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23£25,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
