0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the 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 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won
0:00:33 > 0:00:35some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today are Eric's Pickles.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This team of friends and family share a connection
0:00:43 > 0:00:45through team captain Eric
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and they joke that every now and again,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49being a very social bunch,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52they like to get maybe just a little bit pickled.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hiya, I'm Eric, I'm 56 and I'm a teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Dave, I'm 64 and I'm a delivery-van driver.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Colin, I'm 48 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Simon, I'm 42, and I'm an associate accountant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm David, I'm 51 and I'm an information officer.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So Eric and friends, welcome to you. Thanks for coming in.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16ALL: Hello.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19You two, as we mentioned, are brothers.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Eric, you met David through something else.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27I met Dave in Cardiff, when I lived in Cardiff,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and we were learning guitar.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Learning guitar? Can you both now play guitar?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Neither of us...- Very badly. - ..can play hardly at all.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40OK, have you got quizzing pedigree? Do you quiz?
0:01:40 > 0:01:47Yes, we all quiz, although we've rarely quizzed together as a team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51But we've met up hopefully to take on the might of the Eggheads today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55And you see there, without CJ, without Daphne.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- Does that make it easier or harder? - Um, we'll soon find out.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03To be honest, it's never easy, that's the bottom line.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, Eric's Pickles, I can tell you the Eggheads have won
0:02:15 > 0:02:19the last five games, which means £6,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and TV.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Who would like this? Choose a player.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I think me? I'll have a go. Yes?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I'll have a go.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Colin. OK. Right in the middle.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32On Film and TV against which Egghead?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- What do you think?- Chris? - Yes. Chris, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Colin from Eric's Pickles against Chris.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40To ensure no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Colin, three multiple-choice questions.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49The subject is Film and TV and you can choose the first or second set.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK. Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00In 2005, who took on the role of Michael Scott
0:03:00 > 0:03:04in the American TV version of The Office?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12I think the only one to play him so far is Steve Carell.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Steve Carell is the correct answer.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17OK, Chris, here's your first question.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21The Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire is set in which country?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24It's set in India.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Mumbai to be precise.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30India is the right answer.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Colin, which Disney film features a scene in which
0:03:33 > 0:03:37the central characters share of bowl of spaghetti and meatballs?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Hm.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've seen all those, but quite a long time ago.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Um...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Erm...
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's going to have to be a guess, I'm afraid. I'll say
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Lady And The Tramp.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well done. Lady And The Tramp is absolutely right.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Ooh. That was lucky.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Chris, here's your next question.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Which actor was married to the actress Leslie Manville
0:04:03 > 0:04:06in the late 1980s?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11HE SIGHS
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Ray Winstone came from my neck of the woods.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I think he was married before that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Er...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Tim Roth or Gary Oldman.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Down the middle, Tim Roth.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Not Tim Roth. Gary Oldman is the answer.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Colin, this is good, if you get this right you've taken the round.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Fingers crossed.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Which actor who went on to win an Oscar was
0:04:35 > 0:04:39one of the stars of the 1980s US sitcom Bosom Buddies,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43in which he disguised himself as a woman in order to remain
0:04:43 > 0:04:45living in an all-female building?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50HE SIGHS
0:04:51 > 0:04:54EXHALES SHARPLY I've never seen it, to be honest.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Hm.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57I'd say...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01It'll have to be a guess again. I'll go for Sean Penn.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's not Sean Penn. It's Tom Hanks.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Chris, get this wrong, you're out.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Rita Simons joined the cast of EastEnders in 2007
0:05:10 > 0:05:11to play which character?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Roxy Mitchell is Sam Janus, surely.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Um...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I've never watched EastEnders in my life,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28having lived for over 40 years in a not dissimilar area.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Um...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Whitney Dean... Danielle Jones.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39She's not playing Danielle Jones, she's playing...Roxy Mitchell.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Chris, you're out. Colin, you're in the final.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Good start for your team.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Very effective start for the challengers.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, as it stands, the challengers have not lost
0:05:53 > 0:05:55a brain from the final round.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59The Eggheads have lost a brain. And the next subject is Music.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Which of you would like Music?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I'll take music.- David, OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Against? Where's the Egghead? Which one would you like in your sights?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Barry, I think.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So, David from Eric's Pickles on music against Barry,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17from the Eggheads, and to make sure there's no conferring,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19please take your positions.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24So the round is Music, David. Three questions, would you like the first,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- or second set? - I'll have the first, please.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Here we go, David, who released the 2010 album Messy Little Raindrops?
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Um...
0:06:41 > 0:06:42I'm not sure.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Um... I'll go for Cheryl Cole.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Cheryl Cole is correct. Well done.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Barry, in 2010, which radio station hosted the BBC's Electric Proms,
0:06:54 > 0:06:59which featured performances by Elton John, Neil Diamond and Robert Plant?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I didn't hear this. The word "proms" suggests Radio 4.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08So I'm going to try -
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I know it's surprising to hear those people on Radio 4,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13but I'll go for Radio 4.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17You must be doing this to spite me. It's Radio 2.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20That's the station with quite a lot of good music on it, Barry,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- if you want to listen in. - I might try that one day.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25David, I gave him a hospital pass there,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- and I've got you in the lead. - Great. Yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Your question.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Which American singer had UK hits in the 1950s
0:07:32 > 0:07:37with the songs Poor Little Fool, Someday and It's Late?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Again, I don't know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I don't think it's Jim Reeves. I'll...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'll go for Ricky Nelson.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well done. Ricky Nelson's absolutely right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So, Barry, if you get this wrong you are out.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Which boy band's 2000 album No Strings Attached
0:08:01 > 0:08:05sold a record 2.42 million copies
0:08:05 > 0:08:08in its first week of release in the United States?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Haven't a clue. Haven't a clue.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The year 2000 might be a clue so I'll go for *NSYNC.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Why is 2000 a clue?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Because I think they were big at that time.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30You're right. They were and it was them. *NSYNC is the answer.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32David, back to you for the round.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Which composer's Violin Sonata No 9
0:08:35 > 0:08:39is also known as the Kreutzer Sonata?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Um...
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Again, I am not entirely sure. I don't think it's Liszt.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Um...
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I'm really not sure between Bach and Beethoven.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Er...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'll go for Beethoven.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Beethoven. You'll know this, Barry.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- He's right.- You're right, you've knocked Barry out.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Beethoven's the right answer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Barry, you're not in the final round, David, you are.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Your team is playing well, I must say.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Do both of you come back to us here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So an interesting contest.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The challengers have lost no brains from the final rounds so far.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30The next subject is History. Who would like this?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Me, is it? ALL:- Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Dave, history. OK. - And I'll play Judith, please.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Judith, you love history, don't you?- Yes. But I hardly dare say so.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45It's Dave from Eric's Pickles against Judith on history.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Judith, I looked up your record on history.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You're just about to jinx it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- You've won 26 in a row. - Have I? I wish you hadn't.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00That probably goes back goodness knows how many years.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I hardly ever get it, actually.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07You're almost unable to get a question wrong in this round, that's what's amazing.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- You're kind to say so. But I think...well, let's see.- OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13All right, three questions on history
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and Dave, you can choose the first or second set.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Your team are playing brilliantly. Good luck.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Which English monarch was the father of Henry III,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28who became king of England in 1216?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33That was John.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Spot on. It was John. Well done.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Judith, during World War I, in which country
0:10:42 > 0:10:46did the 1917 Battle of Cambrai take place?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think Cambrai was in Belgium.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Your answer is Belgium?- Mm.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You've got it wrong.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- Oh! I knew it!- Is that my fault? - Yes, it is. I knew it would happen.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06JEREMY LAUGHS
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm so sorry! I was building you up there.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I wish you just wouldn't! - France is the right answer, Judith.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- That is annoying.- I'm so sorry. I wish I hadn't gone down that road.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Yes, so do I.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Dave, here's your question.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24In which year did Gaiseric lead the Vandals in a sack of Rome?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Well, 855 and 1255 are much too late.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33It was 455.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37455 is the correct answer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39You're playing very well.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45OK, Judith, your question. The so-called Star Chamber,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48a court of law which was abolished in the 17th century,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50primarily sat at which venue?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Um... - CLEARS THROAT
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I think it sat in the Tower of London.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - ALL: Palace of Westminster.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13You see, Jeremy, I told you.
0:12:13 > 0:12:1626 in a row, for heaven's sake. That's it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Gosh!
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Well, Dave, there we are,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24you've taken Judith apart somewhat after 26 wins.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I won't ever mention your history record again.- No, please don't.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Credit to you. You were unswerving in your choice of the right answers.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well done. You are in the final. Please both come back.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So the challengers have lost no brains -
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I keep saying that - from the final round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The Eggheads have now lost three brains.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The last subject before what could well be an exciting final
0:12:46 > 0:12:48is Arts and Books. So who would like this?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I'll take that one. - Eric, OK. Against?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Either Pat or Kevin.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Um... I'd like to take on Kevin, please.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- TEAM:- Ooh! - A murmur goes up from the team.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07OK, Eric from the Pickles against our Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Please go to the question room now.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Eric, you've taken on a serious Egghead. It's Arts and Books.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Three multiple-choice questions and do you want to go first or second?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25All the best to you. Your team playing for £6,000.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Washington Irving's short story The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
0:13:29 > 0:13:31is set in which part of the world?
0:13:37 > 0:13:43Um, by the title of it, I don't think it would be North Yorkshire.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Um, I'm leaning towards Nova Scotia.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I'm going to pick Nova Scotia.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Let's ask an Egghead. - New York state.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57New York state is where it was set.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02OK, Kevin, your question, the island of Blefuscu appears in which novel?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11It's one of the many places visited by Gulliver in Gulliver's Travels.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Gulliver's Travels is the right answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Back to you, Eric.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21In George Eliot's novel Adam Bede, what is Adam Bede's occupation?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25It's not a book that I've read.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Um... I'm going to have to take a guess on this one.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I will guess carpenter.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Carpenter is the right answer, well done.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Kevin, in the children's book series Basil Of Baker Street by Eve Titus,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46what type of creature is Basil?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Well, I didn't... It may be completely unconnected,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55but there is, I think, an animated film
0:14:55 > 0:14:58called Basil The Great Mouse Detective.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I haven't heard of the books but I'll have to assume
0:15:01 > 0:15:04the film was possibly based on the books.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06So I'll go for mouse.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Great quizzing. Mouse is correct. Well done.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12OK, Eric, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Tigerware, a type of 16th and 17th century stoneware
0:15:16 > 0:15:22with a mottled, brown glaze, is strongly associated with which city?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm just thinking of the name tigerware,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31where that would be from.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Again, it's going to have to be a guess.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Um, I'm going to go with the German connection of Cologne.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Cologne is correct.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46You've got two points. You need to hope that Kevin slips up now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Kevin, which Spanish king was so pleased
0:15:49 > 0:15:52with the 1623 portrait of him, painted by Diego Velazquez,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55that the artist was appointed as a court painter?
0:16:00 > 0:16:05I'm pretty sure that Velazquez was court painter to Philip IV.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Philip IV is right. Well done, you're in the final round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Sorry, Eric, he is a hard egg to crack, so you've been knocked out.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17If you come back to us, we will play the final.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23So, this is what we've been playing towards. Very exciting today.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Time for the final round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to
0:16:29 > 0:16:34take part in this round. So that is Eric, from Eric's Pickles,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38and also Judith and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Would you all please leave the studio.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, this is going to be interesting.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47There's a bit of firepower, even though they're reduced to two guns.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Just a bit! LAUGHTER
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So, Dave, Colin, Simon and David, there are £6,000 to win.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:16:56 > 0:16:58the Eggheads' reputation.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03This time, the questions are general knowledge
0:17:03 > 0:17:05and you are allowed to confer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06So, Eric's Pickles,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10the question is are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19All the best to you. Good luck.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Here's your first question.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Drayton Manor is a theme park in which English county?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Staffordshire.- Norfolk.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34No, it's Staffordshire.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER
0:17:35 > 0:17:38We think the answer is Staffordshire, Jeremy.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Staffordshire is the right answer, well done.- Well done.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44OK, so they have taken the lead. Eggheads.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Tony Blair spent a few years of his childhood in which country?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55S-s-s-s-s...somewhere, I don't know,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I may be entirely off beam, somewhere in the back of my mind,
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Canada, maybe.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08I don't know. Is it...? Nothing, nothing surfacing at all.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I haven't heard of his happy Australian or Egyptian years,
0:18:11 > 0:18:12or his Canadian years.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- I don't know.- I would guess Canada, but for no good reason.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- We'll have to do that? - Yeah, we'll have to.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24We have no idea, Jeremy, and we are reduced to guessing,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and we are going to guess Canada.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Your answer is Canada. In the '50s,
0:18:30 > 0:18:36just about three or four years, his family were in Adelaide.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38So the answer is Australia.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I would have put that third. - So the big guns are misfiring.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Next question is for Eric's Pickles.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47In ancient Greece, the Pythian Games
0:18:47 > 0:18:50were held every four years in honour of which deity?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Poseidon.- The Greek god. - Was Poseidon a Greek god?
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Yeah.- Poseidon is the sea god. - Hera, I've never heard of.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Zeus's wife. - I'd go between Apollo and Poseidon.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I would go for Apollo, I'm not sure.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11It's ringing a bell, Apollo.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18Would it be in honour of a woman, do you think? Rather than a man?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Which would make it Hera.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Yeah. You think...?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Shall we go?- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28If it's a woman, it's Hera.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Are you thinking Hera? - It could be in honour of a woman.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Shall we say that then? - What do you think?- Dave?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Go with Hera.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42We'd like to go for Hera, please.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Your answer is Hera. Eggheads, do you know?- It's Apollo.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Apollo. You were all set to tell me Apollo.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Something happened. You let 'em back in.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The next question is for the Eggheads.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59In which European country is Ulm Minster,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02a church which has the tallest steeple in the world?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- Bavaria?- I've been up it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, yes, Germany.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16It's in Bavaria, on the River Danube, and it's in Germany.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Germany is the right answer.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21One each and we're on to the third question.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Who did the England football team knock out in the semi-finals
0:20:25 > 0:20:28of the 1966 World Cup?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Bobby Charlton...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I don't know, so go with that.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's Portugal, Jeremy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Portugal is correct, well done. Eggheads,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47if you get this one wrong, they've taken the money, £6,000.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Get it right, we go to Sudden Death. Here is your question.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54In 2010, the Indian tennis player Sania Mirza
0:20:54 > 0:20:57married which Pakistani cricketer?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- My first thought is Shoaib Malik. - Me too.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Let's have a think.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I feel it is Shoaib Malik. I could be wrong.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Well, it was my instinct, as well. - We'll have to go for it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Shoaib Malik?- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We're going to go for Shoaib Malik.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27The correct answer is Shoaib Malik. You got it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So you're equal after three questions and we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The Australian state of Queensland was so named
0:21:37 > 0:21:40during the reign of which British Queen?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42History expert, I think.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Is it Queen, or...?
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Victoria is named after Victoria.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55When was Australia settled?
0:21:55 > 0:21:591700s. Byron, was it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- But they...- James Cook.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The settlers were only going over mainly from the 1850s onwards
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and Victoria was on the throne then.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- I think it's Queen Victoria. - You think it's Queen Victoria?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Yes. Shall we go with that?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- I'm not 100%. - I thought Queen Anne first.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Queen Anne is too early. - Yes. Go for Victoria?- Yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27We'll go for Queen Victoria.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29She had the state of Victoria named after her,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32but, yes, Queensland as well.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Well done.- Queen Victoria.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38If they get this wrong you've won the £6,000. We're on Sudden Death.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Great contest today.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Eggheads, which Australian won the Tony award for best leading actor
0:22:44 > 0:22:50in a musical in 2004 for his role in The Boy From Oz?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Tonys are Broadway.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56The Boy From Oz.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Um...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Have we any candidates? Jason Donovan did musicals.- Yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Craig McLachlan?
0:23:08 > 0:23:112004. Hm.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Australian.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18If it's The Boy From Oz, it implies somebody presumably a bit younger.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Um, so Jason Donovan wouldn't seem to be a likely candidate,
0:23:25 > 0:23:26particularly.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Australians. Hugo Weaving.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30No.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Hugh Jackman.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Another actor, Australian actors.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Brian Brown's far too old, you'd think.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Hugh Jackman has done musicals. He sings and he's done musicals.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47And that sort of thing.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Although he was already in films before that...
0:23:51 > 0:23:52I simply have no idea.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm having trouble coming up with candidates.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57He seems like a reasonable candidate to me.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Hugh Jackman? We don't know. We're mystified.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02But we are going to try Hugh Jackman.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The correct answer is Hugh Jackman.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07ALL: Oh!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And that is why they are so good.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13All right, back to you, Eric's Pickles.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Which influential businessman reportedly said,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19"History is more or less bunk?"
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Henry Ford.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Yes?- ALL: Yeah. - You think so?- Yes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's Henry Ford,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- the answer, Jeremy. - Very good. It is Henry Ford.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34You're still alive in Sudden Death. It's not very sudden, is it?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Eggheads, get this wrong, it is over.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40All teams playing brilliantly. £6,000 on the table.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Here's your question.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Which British modernist, or brutalist, architect
0:24:44 > 0:24:49designed the University of East Anglia in the 1960s?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Get this wrong, it's over.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Denys Lasdun, I'm thinking. - Yes, I think so.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I think it's Lasdun,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03but I'm running through some others.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Stirling wasn't brutalist, anyway.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I think we have to go with Denys.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- I think we have to... - Denys Lasdun?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Well, certainly, Denys Lasdun, yes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16We'll go for Sir Denys Lasdun.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Denys Lasdun is correct.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22They do not get shaken off
0:25:22 > 0:25:26that easily, but you are in a clash of Titans. It's brilliant.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29OK, £6,000. Sudden Death, final round.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Your question, Eric's Pickles.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Which American writer invented the word factoid for something
0:25:34 > 0:25:39repeated by the media and accepted as true, although it may not be?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Factoid.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45An American author?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50It could be a modern one. I don't know.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's going to be somebody like John Updike or William Faulkner.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I don't know.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- That's what I would go for. - What do you think, Dave?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59I don't know.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- I don't know the answer. - THEY CONFER INDISTINCTLY
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We're not sure on this one, Jeremy,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11but we think the answer is William Faulkner.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13William Faulkner is wrong. It's Norman Mailer.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19So, Eggheads, if you get this right, you've taken the contest
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and what a contest it has been. Here's your question.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Which French writer's two-part novel L'Eau Des Collines
0:26:26 > 0:26:30was adapted for the screen as the 1980s films Jean De Florette
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and Manon Des Source?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You get this right and you take the contest.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39The films were directed by Claude Berri.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Were they from books from Marcel Pagnol?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Just an idea.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48KEVIN SIGHS
0:26:49 > 0:26:55He was more of a playwright, but, um...
0:26:55 > 0:26:59For some reason, I link him with those films. I may not be correct.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03If you can, if you can dig a bit.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05I... Hm.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09The films are definitely directed by Claude Berri.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- I associate Marcel Pagnol with them.- OK.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17That's fine. If you've got an inkling.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- I wouldn't stick a pile of money on. It's a decent hunch.- That's fine.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We're going to go with Marcel Pagnol.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Your answer is Marcel Pagnol.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30If you have got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32If it's wrong, we play on. What do you think?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I think they're right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Marcel Pagnol is the correct answer. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46And brilliantly played.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I can't remember the last game
0:27:48 > 0:27:50where we had a team play as well as you played,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53notwithstanding the fact that you've been beaten.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Sometimes teams win, but they haven't got your quiz ability.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Extraordinary. - ALL: Thank you.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Did we get the best out of you?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I think so! LAUGHTER
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, you've really, pound for pound, matched them
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and had them on the ropes a couple of times
0:28:08 > 0:28:11and, in the end, they just found the right punch.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Thank you so much for taking part. - ALL: Thank you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Commiserations to our challengers.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what we normally say comes naturally,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21but they had to struggle today.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm afraid it means you're not going home with £6,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26The money rolls over to our next game.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28So, Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We saw you at your best today
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and maybe sometimes at your weakest as well.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
