0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well-known
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41And hoping to beat our quiz Goliaths today are the DJs.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This team of friends all know one another through
0:00:43 > 0:00:45working for the civil service.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51I'm Diane, I'm 56, and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm John, I'm 50, and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm John, I'm 35, and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm John, I'm 39, and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm also John, I'm 54, and I'm also a civil servant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Diane, welcome. And the interesting thing about your team
0:01:07 > 0:01:09is that everyone else is called John.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- That's right, yes.- So you could have been Diane and the Johns?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We could've been, but we were entering a music quiz,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19so the DJs seemed appropriate and the name just stuck.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Cos you were thinking maybe Diana Ross and the Supremes, Diane and...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It would've been nice to be Diana Ross and the Supremes,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27but I'm not sure they really fit the bill!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29All right.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Well, let's wish you well in this quiz. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up-for-grabs
0:01:34 > 0:01:37for our challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:37 > 0:01:40the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44So, the DJs, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Shall we go for the first set of questions now? - THEY AGREE
0:01:50 > 0:01:53OK, it's going to be on the subject of Arts and Books.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Oh, well...- Arts and Books.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We already know that's me.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59That's Diane.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02You're saving the Johns. You can choose any Egghead.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- I don't know!- Chris?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08If you want to, let's go Chris.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Let's go for Chris.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Right, Diane from the DJs, Chris, looking scholarly there.- Yeah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Rodin lives, yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17OK. Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Chris, Arts and Books, any particular favourite areas for you?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Well, no, not really.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I know what I know and if that ain't good enough, tough!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK! I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:02:34 > 0:02:35on Arts and Books in turn.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Whoever gets the most right goes through to the final, the other person is knocked out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And Diane for the DJs, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, here we go. Good luck to you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56No Dress Rehearsal and Nothing Bad Ever Happens in Tiffany's are books
0:02:56 > 0:02:57by which writer?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Oh, gosh! This isn't the sort of thing I read!
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Erm...
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I don't think it's Marian Keyes,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17but of the other two I'm going to plump for...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Jacqueline Wilson.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Jacqueline Wilson is your answer. Let's see if Chris knows. Chris?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think it's Jackie Collins, Joan's sister.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31No, it's not, actually.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's Marian Keyes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Marian Keyes is the answer, Diane. OK, Chris, over to you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Subtitled My Story, what is the title
0:03:39 > 0:03:43of comedian Michael McIntyre's autobiography, published in 2010?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Woah!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Life and Laughing's a bit prosaic, isn't it?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I don't think he can say he'd title it Experience and Excellence,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02but Fun and Fatherhood seems like a snappy title,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04so that's what I've got to go with.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Eggheads?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- EGGHEADS:- Life and Laughing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Life and Laughing, Chris.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Ah, well, there you go!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12OK. Diane,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15which creatures appear in the famous classical sculpture
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Laocoon and His Sons in the Vatican Museum?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Erm, I have been to the Vatican Museum but it was ages ago,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29so I can't remember.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I don't think it's wolves.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'm just going to have to guess, actually, cos I really don't know.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I'm going to go for sea serpents.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Sea serpents is the right answer.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Oh!- Well done!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK, Chris, over to you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Tom Paulin, who appeared regularly on BBC Two's Late Review
0:04:51 > 0:04:55found fame as a practitioner in which of the arts?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Ah, I honestly don't know, Jeremy. I don't think he's a poet.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06And I don't think he'd get very far in fashion design.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I think he was a painter. Painting.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- No, he's actually a poet. - Is he?- Yeah, very much so.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14OK, this is a high-scoring round!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Diane, you get this one right, you've knocked him out, OK?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Just get this one right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Which of the pilgrims in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales
0:05:23 > 0:05:27tells the story of a cock being captured by a fox?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36OK, I don't think it's the Man of Law.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh!
0:05:38 > 0:05:44I'm really not sure, but I'll go for the Nun's Priest.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Let me check with an Egghead. Anyone know? Chris?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I think she's right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- You are right, Diane!- Oh, wow!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well done! The Nun's Priest it is!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Very inspired work there in the...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I won't say guessing. Quizzing, we call it! Quizzing.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Knowledge and guesswork, and you did brilliantly. You're in the final, Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Do, please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12The Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14The next subject is Food and Drink,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17so who wants this? It has to be a John!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Diane!- Yes, it does have to be a John.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Do you want me to take it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Yes, I think John C.- John C.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- I'm going to take it, Jeremy. - John, can you find an Egghead there
0:06:27 > 0:06:30who looks as if they've never been fed?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Who do you think we should take on? - CJ or...?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Who do you reckon?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I really don't know.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- It's eenie-meenie-miney-mo. - You choose, John.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41We'll try CJ, please.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45OK, so John C from the DJs versus CJ...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48This is going to be fun! ..from the Eggheads.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54CJ, it's been ages since you did Food and Drink.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I can honestly say I'd actually prefer to play Sport.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It's been 128 games, I'm told, since you last did this category.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03That's cos Kevin's usually here!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07That's probably true! All right, so I'll ask each of you three questions
0:07:07 > 0:07:09on Food and Drink in turn.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner,
0:07:12 > 0:07:18- and John, you can choose the first or the second set of questions. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Here we go John, good luck to you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23What is the term for increasing the nutritional value of food
0:07:23 > 0:07:24by adding vitamins?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I don't think it's solidifying.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Um, and out of the other two, um, it's more likely to be fortifying.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So I'll go with that one, please. Fortifying.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Fortifying is the right answer, John. Well done.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Good start! OK, CJ.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The process called deveining, CJ,
0:07:47 > 0:07:52is used to refer to the removing of the intestinal tract,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56a thin black line, from the back of which seafood creatures?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I do actually watch a couple of cookery shows
0:08:04 > 0:08:08and I think it was on Masterchef that Michel Roux Jr
0:08:08 > 0:08:11was really laying into some of the contestants
0:08:11 > 0:08:14for not removing the vein from the prawns.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Prawns is the right answer.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Well done.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Second question to you, John.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22On an Italian restaurant menu,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26an item listed as impanato will be coated in what?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Impanato.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Don't think it's cherries.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm not sure syrup features too much on an Italian menu.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I'll go with breadcrumbs, Jeremy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yeah, the pan bit of the word is the clue.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Breadcrumbs is right. Well done, you got it!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Two points to you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Over to CJ.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56The 17th-century French writer, Madame de Savigne,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58is popularly credited with starting the custom in Europe
0:08:58 > 0:09:02of drinking tea with what, CJ?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I have heard of her.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Um, I don't think it's biscuits.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I mean, tea wherever it's grown and, I think, originally here,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18was always drunk black.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Um...
0:09:20 > 0:09:24And I think that's about the right time.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yes, I think it's milk.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Milk is the correct answer. So he's on your tail, John.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Throw him off! Get this one right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37The early career of which TV cook included a stint
0:09:37 > 0:09:41as the deputy literary editor of the Sunday Times?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Hmm, not sure on that one.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think...
0:09:51 > 0:09:55It's going to be a complete guess, so I'm going with Sophie Grigson.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57No. Anybody?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'd have gone for Nigella Lawson.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Nigella Lawson is the right answer, John.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK, CJ, if you get this right, you've got the round,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08otherwise we go to Sudden Death on Food. What a thought!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Tatsoi is a Chinese variety of which vegetable?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Potato and carrot have a lot of different varieties, but...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I thought those varieties were, essentially, grown everywhere,
0:10:23 > 0:10:28whereas there are variations of cabbage
0:10:28 > 0:10:33which are most closely associated with China.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I've got nothing else to go on, so on that basis
0:10:35 > 0:10:38and the fact it ends with the same two letters as bok choy,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I'll try cabbage.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Cabbage is the correct answer.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You have won a place in the final. Sorry, John!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47More Johns to come, I know that, but you won't be in the final.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Please, do come back to the studio and rejoin your teams.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Well, bad luck John C.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57And CJ, that's good going for you, isn't it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well, I was petrified when Food and Drink came up cos I thought,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03"I'm not going to win this," cos I knew if I won that, then,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06for the series so far, my percentage is now 75%.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10So I think I've played 32 head-to-heads and won 24 of them.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16- Do you measure yours or everybody's? - Oh, I don't care about that lot!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The challengers have lost one brain from the final round
0:11:19 > 0:11:21and the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It's interestingly poised. The next subject is History.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Who would like this? Which John?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It's John, John or John.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Are you going to take one for the team or not?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- I'll do one for the team, shall I? - Are you sure?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- It's got to be you or you.- Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- One or the other. - Do you want to go with me?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'll go whatever. Kings and queens, but I'll give it a go.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Yeah, give it a go.- John M.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Now, choose an Egghead if you can. - Who have you got a feeling for?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Met him on the way down, so Pat.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Nice reason!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Met you on the way down the stairs.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58OK, so John M from the DJs against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03And to make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07John, I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn,
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- and you may choose the first or the second set.- I'll take the first set.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Here we go, all the best to you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Where was the famous Kohinoor diamond put on display
0:12:18 > 0:12:20for several weeks in 1851?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Ooh, the Kohinoor diamond.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I've never associated that with the House of Lords, I must admit.
0:12:32 > 0:12:331851.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I think that was around about the time of the Great Exhibition,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39so I'll go for the Great Exhibition.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Great Exhibition is the right answer, well done.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Over to you, Pat.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48In which year after World War II did Allied-occupied Austria
0:12:48 > 0:12:50regain its sovereignty?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It was...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Yes, obviously occupied with the fall of Germany
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and The Third Man and all that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06'75 seems very, very late
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and, in fact, so does '65.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I can't imagine there were still Allied troops
0:13:11 > 0:13:13occupying Austria in 1965.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I think I'll have to go for 1955.
0:13:16 > 0:13:181955 is correct.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, over to you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22John M.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25In 1830, France invaded which African country?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Algeria used to be a French colony.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I've never associated France with Egypt.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Um, Libya...
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I'm not certain that there are French connections with Libya.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So I will go for Algeria.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50You've got it 100% right. Well done. Algeria it was.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Pat, your question.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Which figure from British naval history was the first Englishman
0:13:56 > 0:13:59to navigate the Straits of Magellan?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I think Horatio Nelson confined himself mostly to standard
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Royal Navy military operations.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12The Atlantic and the Med.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And a part of the Straits of Magellan is called
0:14:15 > 0:14:18the Drake's passage, so I'll have to go for Francis Drake.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Francis Drake is the right answer.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So you both have two points. Third question now for you, John.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28What was required for an individual to gain a divorce in England
0:14:28 > 0:14:31prior to the setting up of divorce courts
0:14:31 > 0:14:35under the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I can't see them going through all the hassle of going
0:14:46 > 0:14:51for an Act of Parliament for a divorce before then.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I'll go for the Mayoral Decree.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well, you won't believe this, but it's the one you ruled out -
0:14:59 > 0:15:01it's an Act of Parliament.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02That is the answer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08So it was that rare and unusual to get one before 1857.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Act of Parliament is the right answer, which means, Pat,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14you have a chance to take the round with this question.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Until 1949, what was the name of the region
0:15:18 > 0:15:21east of the river Jordan that now forms the main part
0:15:21 > 0:15:23of the Kingdom of Jordan?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Jordan-Turkey doesn't ring any sort of Bell.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34British Jordan has some plausibility,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39the British were present right across the Levant.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41But Transjordan...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I'm pretty sure I've read about Transjordan in the past,
0:15:44 > 0:15:45and it just means "across the Jordan,"
0:15:45 > 0:15:49so the other side of the river from Israel, so I'll go for Transjordan.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Is he right, Eggheads?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- ALL: Yes.- They say you are, Transjordan is the answer,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57you've taken that round, sorry, John, you've been knocked out.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01If you come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06OK, so now the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the Eggheads have lost one brain, and we have our last subject
0:16:09 > 0:16:12before the final, and it is Sport.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Is this good?- That's easy. - That's a given, isn't it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- It's this John. - It's John L, OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Daphne, do you reckon? - I think, yeah, Daphne, please.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24So, John L from the DJs against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Do both of you please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- So, John, you're a taxman? - Yes, I am.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34OK, I dare you to beat him, Daphne.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- You know there'll be trouble. - Get my revenge!
0:16:37 > 0:16:38HE LAUGHS
0:16:38 > 0:16:40OK, good luck to you both.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46and, John, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Good luck to you, John and the DJs, here we go.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Which football player made his first team debut for Liverpool
0:16:57 > 0:17:01against Blackburn Rovers on 29 November, 1998?
0:17:06 > 0:17:081998...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I'm pretty sure that's far too late for Robbie Fowler.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I'm pretty sure it's too late for Jamie Redknapp.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Looking at where Steven Gerrard is now in his career,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'll go for Steven Gerrard, please.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Steven Gerrard is the right answer, well done.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28An easy one to get wrong, actually.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Daphne, what is the maximum
0:17:31 > 0:17:34permissible circumference of a cricket ball?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You saw my jaw drop!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45It's... I have no spatial awareness, um...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I don't know.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Nine inches.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Yeah, nine inches is correct, nice one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01John, who was the first British tennis player
0:18:01 > 0:18:04to win the men's singles competition at the French Open?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I know Fred Perry was the last one to win Wimbledon,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I know Bunny Austin, I'm pretty sure he got to the final
0:18:16 > 0:18:18after Fred Perry at Wimbledon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm going to dismiss Lawrence Docherty,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and I'm just going to plump for Bunny Austin, I think.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26That's the wrong answer.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Fred Perry is the correct answer, John.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Bad luck.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33All right, Daphne, get this right, you pull ahead.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39In 2006, Sandy Park became the home ground of which Rugby Union team?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think that's the Exeter Chiefs.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Right?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56How do you know that?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'm sure I read it recently.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Exeter Chiefs is correct, Daphne, you're in the lead.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04So, John, you really need to get this one right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race traditionally starts
0:19:07 > 0:19:09on which day of the year?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Sydney to Hobart race...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Sailing isn't a strong topic for me.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Boxing Day, I'm sure they start a Test match on that day.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Good Friday doesn't seem to be the sort of day you would start
0:19:28 > 0:19:32that sort of thing, so I'm going to plump for Australia day.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36It's not Australia Day, it's actually Boxing Day.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Which means we don't need to ask Daphne a third question,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41because she has taken the round.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Daphne, you'll be in the final, John, sorry, you won't,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47and if you both rejoin your teams we can play that final round.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54it's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57But I'm afraid those who lost your Head To Heads
0:19:57 > 0:19:59won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03so that's John, John, and John from the DJs,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and Chris from the Eggheads -
0:20:05 > 0:20:08would you please now leave the studio.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Good luck, Diane and John, you're playing to win the DJs £4,000.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16CJ, Daphne, Barry and Pat,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:20:18 > 0:20:20the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25the questions are all general knowledge,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27you are allowed to confer.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29So, DJs, the question is,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31are your two brains better than the Eggheads four?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Diane and John, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36We're going to go first, Jeremy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Here we go.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43In Shakespeare's play, Hamlet,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46what is the name of the father of Laertes?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Laertes...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's, um, Polonius, I'm sure it's Polonius.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Well, we'll just doublecheck - Rosencrantz is a friend...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I would have ruled out Rosencrantz for starters, anyway.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm sure it's Polonius.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Polonius, OK.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07We're going to go with Polonius, Jeremy.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Absolutely right, well done.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Who died in a horrible way.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Stabbed behind the arras. - He was stabbed behind the arras.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16OK, Eggheads...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Which Hollywood actress has also pursued a career as a rock singer,
0:21:20 > 0:21:26fronting the band's The Licks and The New Romantiques -
0:21:26 > 0:21:28spelt R-O-M-A-N-T-I-Q-U-E-S?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I think The Licks is Juliette Lewis.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39It's not a bad band, at all, actually, and it's Juliette Lewis.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Juliette Lewis is correct.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43OK, over to you.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48The French colonial governor Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac
0:21:48 > 0:21:51was the founder of which American city?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Right, I think I'd immediately rule out Pittsburgh, because
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I don't think there's any French connection with that at all.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Do you think it might be Detroit, with 'Cadillac' and cars?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- We'd anglicise it as 'Cadillac'. - Detroit being Motor Town.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12The Cadillac's made in Detroit, so that would be...
0:22:12 > 0:22:17And I've been to Chicago - well, I think I've been to all three,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20but I don't remember it coming up, so...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I don't think it's Pittsburgh, anyway.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Yeah, Detroit looks like the more right answer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29We are going to go with Detroit, Jeremy.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Detroit is the right answer.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Two out of two, you're playing well.- Logic.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Eggheads, back to you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38What were issued by the British Post Office
0:22:38 > 0:22:41for the first time on 1st October, 1870?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Postcards.- Postage stamps were 1840...- It's postcards.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- You think it's postcards? - Yes, I've just got this memory.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You know, they had those prepainted postcards with the stamp on.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Do you remember sending one? - Look, you're getting as bad as CJ.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I think it's postcards.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Daphne believes it is postcard,
0:23:06 > 0:23:11and I wouldn't dream of arguing with Daphne, so postcards is our answer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14OK, I asked "What were issued by the British Post Office
0:23:14 > 0:23:17"for the first time on 1st October, 1870?"
0:23:17 > 0:23:19The answer is postcards.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Well done.- Well done to Daphne with her inklings.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29Diane and John, who made her film debut as Emily Monroe Norton,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32the first wife of Charles Foster Kane,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34in the 1941 film Citizen Kane?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Films isn't really my thing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Um, Citizen Kane...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The only one I've heard of is Jeanne Moreau,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50but I don't know if that helps at all.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51I don't know.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I was thinking of Dolores Costello, but I don't know why.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00I have seen the film, but...
0:24:02 > 0:24:07..I'm just not sure why it would be a French person.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09OK, we'll go with your inkling, then.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Shall we go with your inkling?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Ooooh!
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19We're not too sure on this one, Jeremy, it's a bit
0:24:19 > 0:24:23of a stab in the dark, but we'll have a go at Dolores Costello.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27If it's any consolation, you were knocking it
0:24:27 > 0:24:31between the two wrong ones, actually - it's Ruth Warrick,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33is the answer, Ruth Warwick.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Now you have to hope they get theirs wrong.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39If you get it wrong, Eggheads, we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Bitis is the scientific name for a genus of what type of creature?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Barry?- Oh, I've not heard of that one.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Do ants have many genus?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Yes, Hymenoptera and lots of different ants.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Lots of different snakes, lots of different birds.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05There are hundreds, if not thousands, of each of those.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Are we going to do rock-paper-scissors?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I read a lot about snakes, several years ago,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14it doesn't ring a bell, but that could mean I didn't read enough.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well, for what it's worth, my first instinct,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20my first two-penneth worth would be for ants, but I don't know.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Ants caught my eye, but with no real evidence to back it up.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27It's just that it doesn't strike me for snakes,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and not really for birds, although there are thousands.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Yes, snakes and birds might be more familiar,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34so I'm happy for ants.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36All right, well we don't know,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and we've all decided we're going to go for ants.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Bitis is the scientific name for a genus of snake.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46How about that?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, you're equal after three questions.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Sudden Death means I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Shula Hebden Lloyd, Jack Woolley and Linda Snell
0:25:58 > 0:26:01are characters in which long-running drama?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05It's my favourite radio programme!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's The Archers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Good, The Archers is right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12They may get harder.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17OK, Eggheads, in 1913, the French physicist Charles Fabry
0:26:17 > 0:26:21discovered what form of oxygen in the atmosphere?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- It was ozone.- Ozone, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Charles Fabry discovered ozone.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Ozone is correct.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Sudden Death we're on, £4,000 you're playing for.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Who was named Minister for Sport and Olympics in May, 2010?
0:26:36 > 0:26:382010?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The Conservative administration.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Sport and Olympics...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- So it's in the coalition government? - Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49What does Andrew Lansley do?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I think it might... Or is he culture?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- No, Jeremy Hunt's culture. - Of course he is.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It might be Andrew Lansley, then.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I can't think of anyone else. - Shall we go with Andrew Lansley?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04A bit of a stab in the dark, again, Jeremy,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06we're going for Andrew Lansley.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I'm afraid you're wrong, the answer is Hugh Robertson.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'd never have got that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12OK.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14This is your question, Eggheads,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17if you get this right you've taken the contest.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Which veteran film star won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar
0:27:21 > 0:27:26for his part in the 1976 drama All The President's Men?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Jason Robards?- I think he won two best supporting actors.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Well, he's in it. - He's definitely on it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And he's won more than one, as well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- We'll happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43We're reasonably certain on this, we believe it is Jason Robards.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Playing the Washington Post editor, Ben Bradlee, Eggheads,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51it was Jason Robards - congratulations, you've won.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And they can fold before that,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02so you take them into Sudden Death, but commiserations to you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Thank you.- Thank you. - I hope it was fun.- It was.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08We haven't had four Johns in one team before.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10That's a bit of history.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- And CJ on Food and Drink, an unusual contest today.- Yes, strange one.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Thank you very much for coming in.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Commiserations to you, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and they reign supreme over quizland still.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25I'm afraid that means your team won't go home with the £4,000,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads - £5,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
