0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 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 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their quiz pedigree is well known
0:00:31 > 0:00:36as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This team of colleagues
0:00:44 > 0:00:46all work for the same stockbroking firm in London.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's David, I'm 37 and I'm a systems administrator.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 50 and I'm a database consultant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Sian, I'm 29 and I'm a team leader.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Craig, I'm 29 and I'm a marketing manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Jim, I'm 39 and I'm a broking director.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- So, David and team, welcome.- Hello. - Just to go through the name - Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Bear and Bull.- Yes.- Remind us what they mean in a stock context.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Basically, it's to do with how the stock market is performing.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23You'll have a bear market when things aren't going so great,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27then you'll have a bull market when...people are buying
0:01:27 > 0:01:30the stocks and the shares and the market's doing well.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34That's cos the bear is going like that, and the bull is attacking?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Yeah, the bear will go down when it's fighting with its enemy,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and the bull, when it charges, comes up and...
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Fascinating. So, with this enemy, bear or bull?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Hopefully both!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Bit of both. OK. Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, Bear-ly Knowlagea-Bull, the Eggheads won the last two games,
0:02:02 > 0:02:07which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Who would like this? Er.- I think, Jim's specialist subject, isn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Yeah, Jim, you going to take this one?- Jim, OK.- I'll take this one.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Against which Egghead? - Daphne, probably.- Yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Yeah, you think Daphne?- OK. - Daphne's the one we should go for.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- OK. I think it's going to be Daphne. - Jim from Bear-ly Knowlagea-Bull
0:02:30 > 0:02:33against the sweet, smiling Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42So, Jim, your ambition is to learn an instrument, I understand.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44It is, yeah.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Something I...perhaps regret not doing when I was at school,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51but actually getting round to it, haven't quite got there yet.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I've got exactly the same thing - every single year, my New Year's resolution -
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I'm going to play the guitar. Since university, and it's never happened.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Maybe we should get joint guitar lessons.- Maybe, yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Would you do guitar, or something else?- Er, maybe guitar or piano.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Are you playing air guitar at the moment? - Er, not quite that confident.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- JEREMY LAUGHS - OK, good luck in Film & TV. - Thank you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Against Daphne, it's three multiple-choice questions.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Whoever wins the round goes through to the final, and Jim, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Er, I'll go first, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31Here we go with your first question. In which year was the TV show the X Factor first broadcast in the UK?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37The X Factor.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44Often, with these, they've been on longer than you think they have.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Er...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50It's definitely not 2007.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I think...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I don't think it's been on for ten years.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I think, therefore, the answer is 2004.
0:04:02 > 0:04:062004 is the right answer. Well done. Jim, first point to you. OK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Over to Daphne.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Which actor has appeared in the films Batman Begins, Unforgiven
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and Se7en?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28The only one I've seen is Se7en, which was horrible.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- Er, Morgan Freeman.- Morgan Freeman is the right answer, Daphne.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37OK, your question, Jim.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41The character Pinhead features in which horror-film series?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48HE SIGHS
0:04:50 > 0:04:56I'm not, er... I'm not confident about this by any stretch.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Er...
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I'm pretty confident it's not Nightmare On Elm Street.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07I don't think it's Friday The 13th, so I'm going to go with Hellraiser.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Hellraiser is the right answer. You haven't seen that one?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I don't believe so. - Have you seen it, Daphne?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- No! - LAUGHTER
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Just don't, OK? Here's your question.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The 2001 TV mini series Band Of Brothers
0:05:23 > 0:05:25is set during which conflict?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's set during World War II.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35World War II is the right answer, so two points each,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and we go back to you, Jim.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Keep the pressure on.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Which actor starred in the 2010 film The Sorcerer's Apprentice?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Oh, I haven't got a clue here.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I'm reasonably sure, having said that, that it's not Daniel Craig.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Um... I don't even think I've heard of the film.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I think I'd know if it was Nicholas Cage,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12and on that basis, I'm going to go with Christian Bale.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Christian Bale is your answer. Your team-mates know, I think, do they?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- We think it's Nicholas Cage. - Nicholas Cage, it is.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, Daphne's chance to take the round here with her third question.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28In which country was the actress Salma Hayek born, in 1966?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Well, before the options came up, I thought of Mexico
0:06:39 > 0:06:40and now you've got Brazil.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Oh, well, first instinct. Mexico.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Is she right, Eggheads?- Yes, she is.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50She is right. Well done. Three points to two.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54You've taken that first round on Film & TV. Jim, sorry!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56She does tend to do that, our Daphne.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So, you won't be in the final and she will.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:07:05 > 0:07:08from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10And the next subject is Sport.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Is this a good one for Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- We all like sport.- Yes. Er... - I guess it's between myself and...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Between you and me. Er...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Craig or David.- What do you think? - I'll go for it.- Yeah, you go Sport.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Yeah, I'll take Sport, Jeremy.- OK. Against which Egghead?- Er...well,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28they're all pretty good. I think I'll take Chris, please.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31David from Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull against Chris,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35looking suitably aggrieved that he's been chosen on Sport.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Please go to the question rooms.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41David, what led you to bring this team together and apply to the show?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Er, well, funny story.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Basically I was looking on the BBC website
0:07:48 > 0:07:52for some Strictly Come Dancing tickets to go and see the show,
0:07:52 > 0:07:57and, er, I came across the application form for the Eggheads.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And I watched the show, so I said to Craig, "Do you fancy
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- putting a team together?" We went from there, really.- Nicely done.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08And people can apply, go online and they can send us a suggestion for a team,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- and you got a reply and here you are!- Yes, yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK, good luck to you, and to Chris.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And David, you can choose the first
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- or the second set of questions. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Here we go. Very best of luck, David.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Which British athlete won a decathlon gold medal
0:08:27 > 0:08:29at the 1983 World Championships?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK. I'm pretty confident with this one.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42It's definitely not Linford Christie, he was a 100m runner.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Kriss Akabusi, I believe...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48he did... He did a track event,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51200m or 400m.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Er, the answer's Daley Thompson.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Daley Thompson is quite right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Chris, over to you.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Which position is most associated with
0:08:59 > 0:09:02the Dutch footballer Ruud van Nistelrooy?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Mmm. Well, the object of the game
0:09:09 > 0:09:13is to score goals, and that's done by a striker, so I'll say striker.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Striker is the right answer.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18David, back to you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21During the 1980s, Jamie Salmon played rugby union
0:09:21 > 0:09:24for England and which other international team?
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Well, I'll rule out France, it's not a French-sounding name.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Er...I can't remember...
0:09:38 > 0:09:42..anyone of that name playing for New Zealand.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'll go for Wales, Jeremy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46It's New Zealand.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50So Chris, you have a chance to take the lead. In which year
0:09:50 > 0:09:52did the tennis player Arthur Ashe
0:09:52 > 0:09:55win his first Grand Slam singles title?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yeah, I remember Arthur Ashe.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Er...sixty...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I think '63 is a bit too early.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I don't connect him with the Kennedy assassination
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and all that sort of stuff.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20And I think he was around about 1970, so that makes '73 too late,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23so we'll go down the middle for '68.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24'68 is the right answer!
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Chris, well done, you've taken the lead. Back to you, David.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- You need to get this one right, OK? - Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Or it's curtains.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Kristi Yamaguchi, born in 1971,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37became a famous name in which sport?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Again, I really haven't got a clue. Er... I haven't got any sort of
0:10:46 > 0:10:49logic to go on either. Er...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm going to rule out swimming,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57so 50/50 between figure skating and gymnastics.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm going to say gymnastics.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Eggheads?- ALL: Figure skating. - Figure skating,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05they all chorus. Sorry, David.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Chris, you've won on Sport! - Good grief!- Should we have
0:11:08 > 0:11:11a bottle of champagne and invite everyone to a party?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Well, a bottle of Newkie Brown and a cheese sarnie, maybe. LAUGHTER
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Please both of you come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So, David, bad luck there.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Yeah. They were tough questions. - They were! They were.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27You know your sport, but Sport is such a big subject.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Yeah.- And it goes back,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32you know, till, I suppose, Roman times.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Absolutely.- You could go back to sort of throwing
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- bits of stone around. - Ancient China. Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41What's the earliest Sports question you've ever had?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I don't know, it'd probably go back to something like that. - Creation of chess?- Yeah.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48They're interesting company, aren't they? The Challengers
0:11:48 > 0:11:52have lost two from the final round, the Eggheads are still in one piece.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The next subject is Arts & Books. Which of you wants this?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57THEY CONFER
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Ian, I think!- Oh, no.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Is it going to be me?- Yes, er... - All right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Ian.- The one we've picked.- OK. From Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Here we go. Against which Egghead, Ian?- Who do we think?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- They're all very strong on everything.- Yeah.- I'd take CJ on it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- You think so?- Yes. - The clash of the bright shirts.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18LAUGHTER
0:12:18 > 0:12:23He doesn't even recognise his shirt is bright, that's the sad thing.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Ian from Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull against CJ from the Eggheads,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and please go to the question room now.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You're right, Ian, it is the contest of the shirts here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yes. One would like to take on CJ
0:12:35 > 0:12:40and sort of try and outdo him in bright-coloured shirts.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44So tell us about you. You campaign for real ale?
0:12:44 > 0:12:49That's correct. I like taking people to fine architectural pubs.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53They are wonderful places to go and have a drink in.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Also help run beer festivals to promote real ale to the public,
0:12:58 > 0:13:03and currently I'm doing campaigning for real cider.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I'm thinking, CJ, that description of an event
0:13:06 > 0:13:09is almost as far away from the world you inhabit as it could be.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You would never go to a real ale event.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It wouldn't be anything that would interest me,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- having never tasted alcohol in my life.- Yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21So don't even try with that one, Ian, he's not going to go there.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- Fair enough!- Er, tell us about
0:13:22 > 0:13:24the toilet you designed on your allotment.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28A few years ago, the committee identified a need for
0:13:28 > 0:13:31a convenience for our plot-holders.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We're having more families coming on to the site
0:13:34 > 0:13:36and needed somewhere to go.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41There's a lot of books on alternative sewage systems,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46but there's none which actually details how to design one.
0:13:46 > 0:13:53So I designed one from spec and project managed and commissioned it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56and it's been so successful that I've had lots of other
0:13:56 > 0:13:58allotment sites and councillors
0:13:58 > 0:14:03come and have a look at the construction to see it in action,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04so to speak...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Well, maybe not!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11So it's a compost toilet for your allotment.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's a free standing, self-sufficient loo.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Correct, yes, indeed.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17What a great idea!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Would you build one for the Eggheads?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'd certainly take that challenge on.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- And I shall succeed. - OK, let's see how we do,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26three questions on Arts & Books
0:14:26 > 0:14:31and Ian, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Erm, I'd like to go first, please.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet
0:14:40 > 0:14:43are books published under which writer's name?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Erm, I know Terry Nutkins but he didn't do it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Trude Mostue, I don't recall that person, but I do know
0:14:57 > 0:14:58it's James Herriot.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01James Herriot is the right answer.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well done, you're off the blocks.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09CJ, which Irish playwright's home in Ayot St Lawrence
0:15:09 > 0:15:13in Hertfordshire has been preserved as he left it by the National Trust?
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Oh, dear.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I've been to a few playwright's homes but this isn't one of them.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I suppose it could be any of them
0:15:31 > 0:15:34but Oliver Goldsmith is quite a long time ago.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I mean the most famous of those is obviously GBS,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42he only died in 1950, so...
0:15:43 > 0:15:48..it could've been taken over by the NT and preserved, I suppose.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I can't imagine it was Goldsmith cos he's just
0:15:51 > 0:15:54so much before the other two.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I don't know this but I'll try George Bernard Shaw.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I think the Eggheads know this, what's the answer?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Shaw.- Yes, it's right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Your colleagues say you're absolutely right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Yeah, he fell out of a tree at St Lawrence and died
0:16:10 > 0:16:12in his 90s.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Did he?- I don't know what he was doing up a tree at that age.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19George Bernard Shaw's the right answer, CJ.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Back to you, Ian.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24What is the profession of the character Lew Archer
0:16:24 > 0:16:28in the series of novels by the writer Ross Macdonald?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Erm, I'm completely at a loss on this one,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'm going to have to go for a guess
0:16:45 > 0:16:47and I'll go for private detective.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Private detective is correct, Ian, nice one.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Guessing well is a big part of this game.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58CJ, in typography what name is given to any part of a lower case letter
0:16:58 > 0:17:00that extends below the baseline?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08OK, so this is two in a row I've not known.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Descender makes sense, I suppose.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Dropper or deposer...
0:17:16 > 0:17:24Typography do like very fancy words, don't they?
0:17:26 > 0:17:31I have really got no idea so I'll just try descender.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Descender is correct. You lucky thing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Ian, here's your next question.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Which 19th-century muse famously posed
0:17:42 > 0:17:46as Ophelia in the painting of the same name by John Everett Millais?
0:17:54 > 0:18:01I vaguely recollect the painting but the muse I don't recall.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Erm...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I'm just going to, yet again, have a guess.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And go for Effie Gray.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Effie Gray is your answer, Eggheads...?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15ALL: Elizabeth Siddal.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Did I hear a story about her suffering pneumonia?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Caught pneumonia cos Millais had her lying in a bath for hours
0:18:21 > 0:18:22while he painted her.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Elizabeth Siddal is the correct answer, Ian.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Gives CJ the chance to win the round,
0:18:27 > 0:18:28let's see if he can.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Treen is the name given to simple household objects
0:18:32 > 0:18:33made out of what material, CJ?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I think Daphne might know this because in one of her 15 to 1
0:18:39 > 0:18:42grand finals her and her main rival kept nominating each other.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47And the last question he got wrong was this very one.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50And treen is made from wood.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Well, I must go to Daphne on this, is he right?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yes, he's absolutely right. Sorry, Matty!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58THEY LAUGH
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Nice work, Daphne and well done, CJ, wood is the answer.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Ian, sorry, knocked out by out our Egghead
0:19:03 > 0:19:06and let's see how your team responds in the next round.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Do come back to us.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12So, as it stands, the challengers have lost three brains
0:19:12 > 0:19:15from the final round. The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18So, we need a heave at the Eggheads now, knock one of them out.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20The last subject is Politics.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Every time I say a subject, Sian, you say, "Oh, no." Who wants this?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Sian or Craig?- What shall we do?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Er, well, I think we'll leave Craig till the end -
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- he's our secret weapon. - Are you two not engaged - is that my imagination?- We are.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39OK, so someone needs to make sure there's no argument now.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- The wedding's only a couple of months away, so...- Don't fall out!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50It's Sian, against which Egghead? Kevin or Barry?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- One end or the other end. - What do you think?- It's up to you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- There's no easy choice. - Let's go for Kevin.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Kevin.- Kevin, Sian says.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05So, Sian from Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull against Kevin who is quite knowledgeable.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Please go to the question room now.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10So, Sian, you're getting married soon.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I am, yeah, just a few months away now.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15All the best for that, and I know you're not in the firm
0:20:15 > 0:20:18with the rest of the team, so you do something else.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- I'm a team leader for a pension annuity company.- Good work?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yeah, a really enjoyable job.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Everyone terrified about their pensions?- It depends.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Sometimes they are, sometimes not.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We're all going to have to play Eggheads till we're 89, aren't we, Kevin?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36At least! Triple figures could be coming up.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I'll ask each of you three questions on politics in turn.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44- Sian, would you like the first or second set of questions? - I'll take the first ones, please.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Here we go, best of luck. In which decade did Jawaharlal Nehru
0:20:51 > 0:20:53become the first Prime Minister of India?
0:20:57 > 0:21:03I have got absolutely no idea about Indian politics at all. Er...
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- I'm going to take a complete guess at 1940s.- 1940s is your answer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Is this question, Eggheads, about Indian independence, essentially?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- That's right. 1947.- '47, so you're absolutely right, Sian, well done.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21When it became independent, he was the first Prime Minister.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Kevin, Andrew Lansley was appointed Secretary of State
0:21:23 > 0:21:26for which Government department in May 2010?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yes, when the coalition came in,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33he became the Secretary of State for Health.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Health is the right answer.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Sian, how old was Margaret Thatcher
0:21:39 > 0:21:41when she first became Prime Minister?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Ooh, they're all quite close together. Um...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm going to go for 53.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Again, brilliant work. You're right. 53's right!
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Kevin, Alfred Deakin who died in 1919 was Prime Minister
0:22:02 > 0:22:05of which country on three separate occasions?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15In the early part of the 20th century he was Prime Minister of Australia.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Australia is the right answer. OK, Sian, if you get this right
0:22:20 > 0:22:22you put Kevin under pressure and
0:22:22 > 0:22:25if you can get him out, that would really help your husband-to-be.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30In October 2010, Harriet Harman made a public apology
0:22:30 > 0:22:33after calling Danny Alexander a what...?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44It's going to have to be another complete guess. Um...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm going to go for Blond Assassin.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- I thought you might. Can you picture him?- Not at all!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54He has famously got very red hair. It was Ginger Rodent.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59As with all jokes, you have to apologise for them in politics.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And the apology came a few hours later.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Kevin, if you get this right you're in the final.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Which British Chancellor of the Exchequer died in office in 1943?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Hugh Dalton was Chancellor later than that...
0:23:20 > 0:23:24..under Atlee's Labour administration, so not him.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29I think John Anderson was Chancellor... Or was he?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I think this is Kingsley Wood.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36It is indeed Kingsley Wood. Well done. You've taken that round.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Clean sweep for the Eggheads. Sorry, Sian.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Kevin is very good.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Please both come back to us,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47rejoin your teams and we'll play the final round.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I was going to ask if there was a change of strategy now
0:23:50 > 0:23:52but I guess it's too late.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We did agree to leave Craig till last, he's got good all-round
0:23:55 > 0:23:59general knowledge. Hopefully he can turn it round for us.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01And you've been unlucky in one respect,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- they haven't got a single question wrong in this game.- So far!
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It's unusual, even for them. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's time for the final round which, as always,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14is General Knowledge but those of you who
0:24:14 > 0:24:18lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22David, Ian, Sian and Jim from Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull
0:24:22 > 0:24:25would you please leave the studio?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Craig, you are playing to win Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull £3,000.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Kevin, CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:24:35 > 0:24:36the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn, this time
0:24:40 > 0:24:44the questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45So, Bear-ly Knowledgea-Bull,
0:24:45 > 0:24:50the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- And would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Craig, good luck.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Who had a UK number one album in 2010 with
0:25:02 > 0:25:05The Defamation of Strickland Banks?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Well, I'm smiling because I've got this album.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'm going to get one right! The answer is Plan B.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Glad you didn't say Michael Buble.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Plan B is it. Well done!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Over to you, Eggs.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Svetlana Savitskaya was the first woman in history to do what?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35THEY CONFER
0:25:35 > 0:25:38She was a Soviet cosmonaut who was the first woman to walk in space.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42She did indeed walk in space and she was the first. Well done.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Back to you, Craig. Keep pressing.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48The 2010 films entitled The Last Song
0:25:48 > 0:25:50and Dear John are both adaptations
0:25:50 > 0:25:53of novels by which American writer?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I can't even work my way towards
0:26:03 > 0:26:06any logical reason for the correct answer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11I'm going to have to have a guess and go for Rachel Gibson.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Let's see if the Eggheads know this one. Eggs?- Nicholas Sparks?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Nicholas Sparks is the answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19So, they have a chance to take the lead.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21What informal name is given to the emergency
0:26:21 > 0:26:24shutdown of a nuclear reactor?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Scram.- All happy with Scram? Yep,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34we're all happy with this answer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We believe it's Scram.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Scram is the right answer. So, they've taken the lead.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43You need to get this question right or the contest is over.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It's your third question, Craig.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50It'd be a great story for the wedding...if you turn them over.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51In American mythology,
0:26:51 > 0:26:56what is the name of Paul Bunyan's giant ox?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04In American mythology, what is the name of Paul Bunyan's giant ox?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Again, it's another gap in my knowledge.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Babe doesn't sound like the name for a giant ox to me.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Belle the giant ox? Buddy the giant ox?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26I'm going to plump for Belle, the giant ox.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Shall I see if they know? Eggheads? - ALL: Babe!- The one I ruled out!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Sorry, Craig. It is Babe.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36And with that wrong answer you've given the contest to the Eggheads
0:27:36 > 0:27:39and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It was only two or three games ago that they lost
0:27:48 > 0:27:50so they're not allowed to look that smug!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well done for playing. Thanks for coming in.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59And they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06So, the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Join us next time to see
0:28:09 > 0:28:13if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£4,000 says they don't. Until, then, goodbye!
