0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The show where a team of five quiz challengers attempt to beat
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Their pedigree is well-known, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the GUGS.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team all know one another through Glasgow University's
0:00:43 > 0:00:47German Society and regularly test their quizzing knowledge
0:00:47 > 0:00:50at their local pub, the Old Schoolhouse. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Geffen, I'm 23, and I study German and Spanish.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Charlie, I'm 22, and I study French and German.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Georgia, I'm 23, and I study German and Spanish.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 22, and I study French and Spanish.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Natalie, I'm 22, and I study German and French.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- So, Geffen and team, welcome.- Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- And all but one of you study German. - Yes, that's right.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And why German?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22I've always really liked German and I love Germany, so I thought
0:01:22 > 0:01:26it would be nice to be able to speak to Germans in their own language.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- And you quiz together, of course. - Yeah.- And you quiz in English?- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34If you just slip into German, it'll throw this lot,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37so you can use that as a tactic if you have to.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So GUGS, the Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52which means £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Would you like to try?- Yes!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So here we go, the first head-to-head battle is on Music.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Which of you would like this?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- I think it should be Georgia. - I vote Georgia.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05What do we do for Films and TV, though? Who will take it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- I would be OK at that.- Would you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Does anyone else think they could do Music?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I think Georgia. Are you OK with it?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Yeah, OK.- Georgia? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Um, I'm going to take Pat, please.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Pat? OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23So Georgia from GUGS against Pat from the Eggheads on Music.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32So Georgia, I should ask, GUGS, G-U-G-S, what does it stand for?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Glasgow University German Society.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I wanted to check it wasn't German University of Glasgow Society.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39No, no, other way!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Cos it's always words in a different order in German.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43That is true.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Do you get the hang of that, putting the verb at the end?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I'm getting there, I'm definitely getting there.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I hope I'm getting there!- Well, good luck in Music against Pat.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Three multiple choice questions on Music in turn,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58and you can choose, Georgia, the first or second set of questions.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'd like to go second, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04So here we go, Pat, your first question.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11In 1986, the Austrian singer, Falco, had a UK Number One with which song?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I think Every Loser Wins is Nick Berry.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Well, the soap star from EastEnders.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Papa Don't Preach is a big early hit for Madonna,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32and Falco, I think, he's the emergency Austrian pop star answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So it's Rock Me Amadeus.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35The emergency Austrian?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38If you're under pressure and have to say Falco.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK! Rock Me Amadeus is quite right. Well done.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43OK, your question, Georgia.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46On which instrument would you normally play a rimshot?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50A rimshot.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55OK, I used to play the piano. I have never heard of that.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02I would go with drum, because of the rim of the drum,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and shot sounds like a kind of hitting motion,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07so I'm going to go with drum.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Great logic.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Drum is right. Well done.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13OK, Pat, on to you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14The artist, Fela Kuti,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17was born in and helped to develop the music of which continent?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I think he was a very major,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29larger than life musician from Nigeria.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I think there's been a musical made about his life.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34So I'll go for Africa.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Africa is the right answer.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Back to you Georgia. Got to get this right to keep up.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Which band reached Number One in the UK in 2000 with the single
0:04:43 > 0:04:46The Masses Against The Class-ies?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Or Masses Against The Classes, you might say.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK. I was feeling a bit confident at the start,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59because 2000 was when I was buying a CD single every week,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04but, at the age of 12 or 13, I wasn't super into any of these bands.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Manic Street Preachers I'm leaning towards.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'm not sure why, but I think that it's the way I'm going to go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Manic Street Preachers.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Manic Street Preachers is correct.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Well done, two points each, Third question, Pat.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Renee Fleming found worldwide fame in which role?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32She's a highly acclaimed American soprano.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33She's an operatic soprano.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Operatic soprano is the right answer, Pat.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38He's very good, Georgia, I'm afraid.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40See if you can get your third question right.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46Which jazz and blues singer was born in 1924 as Ruth Lee Jones?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Again, I have no idea.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02So it's just going to be a complete and utter guess.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm going to go with...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Pearl Bailey.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Eggheads?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- ALL:- Dinah Washington.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Dinah Washington is the answer, Georgia.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So Pat, you've taken that round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Georgia's knocked out, you won't be in the final round, but it's early days.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24As it stands, the challengers lost one brain from the final round
0:06:24 > 0:06:26while the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28The next subject is Science.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30This could be a problem. You're linguists.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Yeah, it's not really our area. - So who would like Science?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I think it's designated to me cos I did a dentistry degree before,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40so I'll see what I can remember from that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41OK, against which Egghead?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I would go CJ.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The clash of the purple shirts.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Yeah, OK, I'll go for a fashion faux pas and take on CJ.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54"Clash of the purple shirts." Sounds great! Natalie from the GUGS,
0:06:54 > 0:06:59against CJ from the Eggheads on Science. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02would you take your positions in the Question Room?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05OK, each of you get three questions on Science in turn,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09whoever answers the most correctly wins. Natalie can choose the first or second set.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'll have the first set, please.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And here we go, good luck.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18What term is used to refer to low volume electrical
0:07:18 > 0:07:24or radio noise of equal intensity over a wide range of frequencies?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I should know about physics.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I did get the prize for physics at my school.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39We didn't do this, but I think common sense would tell me
0:07:39 > 0:07:41it was white noise.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Rather than physics!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Common sense is right. White noise is correct. Well done.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47CJ, your first Science question.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What type of bird of prey is a hobby?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think a hobby is a falcon.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Falcon is correct.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Natalie,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04the prehistoric creatures called trilobites
0:08:04 > 0:08:08that are often found as fossils lived in which environment?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Trilobites. Do they have three of something?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I think sea creatures are the one things that tend to look
0:08:20 > 0:08:23the weirdest, so I'll go for sea, please.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Is she right, Eggheads?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- She is!- You're right! Sea creatures.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You're a quizzer!
0:08:29 > 0:08:34CJ, what was the code name of the first atomic bomb test
0:08:34 > 0:08:37that was carried out in New Mexico in July 1945?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47I think there was a test called Trinity,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50but whether it was the first one or not, I don't know.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I've never heard of a nuclear test called Triad or Troika,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57and I think Trinity is one, so I'll try Trinity.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Trinity is the right answer.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Here's your question, Natalie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04What term is given to any disease that can be passed
0:09:04 > 0:09:06from non-human animals to humans?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Right, well, that's something we didn't do in dentistry!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Obviously, the clear one to go for is zoonosis.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It does sound a bit obvious, but if I didn't pick it and it was right,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27obviously I'd feel pretty stupid, so I'm going to have to go with that.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Zoonosis is the right answer.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Three out of three. Let's see if CJ stays in here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34If you get this wrong CJ, you're a goner.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Where is the Gutenberg discontinuity?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I suppose it could be any of them, but, um...
0:09:48 > 0:09:53I've not heard of a discontinuity
0:09:53 > 0:09:55between Uranus and Neptune,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59and there's an awful lot of space between the two of them.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Um, there is a discontinuity in the Earth.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Whether it's the Gutenberg one, I don't know.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10And I've not heard of one inside the brain but,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12because I have heard of one inside the Earth,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll try within the Earth.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Within the Earth is the right answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Can anyone help us? Barry.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21There's actually two discontinuities between the Earth.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24The first one is the Mohorovicic discontinuity,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26which is between the crust and the mantle.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30And the Gutenberg discontinuity is between the mantle and the core.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Right, OK. Well, it's right, CJ.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You've got three, Natalie, you've got three.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38We go to Sudden Death, so it gets a bit harder. No alternatives.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39OK? Here we go.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Which scientist was born in Woolsthorpe Manor, Lincolnshire,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45in 1642?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I can't think of anyone.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Nothing springs to mind.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And whatever I say is going to sound ridiculous, cos I can't even think
0:11:00 > 0:11:02who would be from that time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I don't know.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I can't say nothing. I'll say Isaac Newton.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- CJ, is she right? - Probably completely wrong!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Unfortunately it is Sir Isaac Newton.- Is it?!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Sir Isaac Newton.- No way!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Isaac Newton. Well done!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well done. You're really good!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Thank you!- OK, are you going to knock CJ out? Let's see.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28The porcupine, CJ, belongs to which order of mammals?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I assume it's a rodent, but let me just have a moment.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I don't know, but I'll just assume it's a rodent.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Your answer is...?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Rodent.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Rodent is the right answer, or rodentia.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Natalie,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51tritium is an isotope of which gas?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53T-R-I-T-I-U-M.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I don't know. Helium?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- No, it's hydrogen.- Aww!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Bad luck.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05CJ, for the round,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07which pigment found in most plants takes its name
0:12:07 > 0:12:11from the Greek meaning "yellow leaves?"
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Chlorophyll?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- No, xanthophyll.- Oh, xanthophyll!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Natalie, to take the lead, here's your question.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Which British scientist lead a 1919 expedition to Principe Island,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26where his findings helped to confirm Einstein's
0:12:26 > 0:12:28theory of relativity?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I don't know. I can't think of anything, sorry.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Nothing springs to mind at all.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40OK, are you passing?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Unfortunately.- Eggheads?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43- EGGHEADS:- Arthur Stanley.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington is the name.- I've never heard of him, so...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Tough question. OK, CJ, get this right, you're in he final.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The name of the computer language ALGOL is an abbreviation
0:12:54 > 0:12:57of which two-word phrase?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Ah, I know most of these.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03And this isn't one of the ones I know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10OK, let's have a blind guess at algorithmic language.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Is the right answer! Algorithmic language.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Is it fair to say that was easier than the Eddington question?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You could work that out, you couldn't with Eddington.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Well, Natalie, bad luck.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25You held in there, and gave him a run for his money, but you're not in the final, I'm afraid.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Are we changing the tactics now?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Maybe slipping into German?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37We'll try it!
0:13:37 > 0:13:42So Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Geography.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Who would like this?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Oh!- Geffen.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's you, isn't it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Team captain?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Yeah.- OK.- OK, I'll take it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Against which Egghead, Geffen? Not CJ or Pat.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Judith?- Just whoever you'd like. - Judith, please.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Geffen from the GUGS against Judith from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09OK.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16and Geffen, would you like the first or the second set?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Could I have the second set, please?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Judith, your first question, here we go.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The Lyke Wake Walk
0:14:25 > 0:14:29from Osmotherley to Ravenscar crosses which national park?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well, it sounds sort of Yorkshire to me.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Um, North York Moors.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Let's ask CJ. He'll know the answer to this!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- I'd go for that. - Brilliant geography knowledge!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47North York Moors is correct.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK, Geffen, your question.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The Bernese Oberland
0:14:52 > 0:14:56is a section of the Alps that is located in which country?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Well, it sounds to me like it comes from Bern,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07which is the capital of Switzerland.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yes, I'm going to go for Switzerland.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Spot on, Geffen, Switzerland is the answer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18So, one point each, and back to Judith.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Theydon Bois is a village in which county?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That's in Essex.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Essex is correct.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31OK, Geffen,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35the wide coastal inlet known as the Canterbury Bight
0:15:35 > 0:15:37is in which ocean?
0:15:45 > 0:15:50I would think, being named after somewhere in England,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52that it would be...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57It would be, perhaps, a British explorer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03But it could be somewhere in America as well, so it could be...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm going to go for Arctic.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11OK. The Eggheads have a rule,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I've noticed, observing them over many games,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18that if Pacific is there, you choose it,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20because there's just more stuff in it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And it's a shame you didn't follow that rule,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25cos Pacific is the right answer here.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It's very big and there's lots in it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30OK, Judith, if you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Which mountain range rises just east of Adelaide in South Australia?
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Ophthalmia Range just sounds so bizarre, frankly.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55I can't believe it could be that, and it'll probably turn out to be.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think it's the Great Dividing Range.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- Anyone?- Mount Lofty.- Mount Lofty is the right answer, Judith.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05So, Geffen, your chance to draw level now.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07If you get this wrong, though, you will be out.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11King Shaka International Airport is the primary airport
0:17:11 > 0:17:12for which African city?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19This is going to have to be a guess again.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25For some reason, I don't think it's Casablanca.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm trying to think which of these places might have a king
0:17:31 > 0:17:33or have had a king.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Actually, I'm going to go for Casablanca.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You ruled it out and then you changed your mind.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Yeah, because I thought...
0:17:45 > 0:17:50I thought that the other two places were unlikely to have a king
0:17:50 > 0:17:52and that it sounded faintly Arabic.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Understood, understood. It's in South Africa.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's Durban. Geffen, sorry. You didn't catch up with Judith,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01that means she is in the final after those questions.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains
0:18:08 > 0:18:10from the final round.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The Eggheads have so far lost no brains,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16so we want someone on this side to take a lump out of them now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18The subject is Food and Drink. Who would like this now?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I'm quite good at it.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Do you want to do it?- Charlie?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yeah, Charlie.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Against either Kevin or Barry?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I don't know, shall we go with the colour co-ordination again?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- I think Barry's got some grey on his...- Yes, OK.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- That's quite tenuous! - Oh, I might not.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- I don't know. Has anyone got...? - I would go with it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40You want to go for Barry?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42On the basis of the grey sweatshirt?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's good logic, isn't it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Charlie from the GUGS against Barry from the Eggheads,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49please take your positions now.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54So, I will ask each of you three questions on Food and Drink in turn, and Charlie,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK, um, I think I'll go first.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Good luck, Charlie. In British cuisine,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06mince pies are most associated with which time of year?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Oh, that's a very nice one! Um, Christmas.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Yeah.- Christmas is the right answer, well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Barry, the three main ingredients of a typical Yorkshire pudding mix
0:19:20 > 0:19:22are milk, flour and what else?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Oh, dear, if I get this one wrong I won't be able to go home!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29But I believe the answer's eggs.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Eggs is the right answer, well done.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's making me feel hungry, this round!
0:19:34 > 0:19:38OK, Charlie, what type of fruit is an Allen's everlasting?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I-I-I...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, when you first said it, I thought, "Apple."
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Um...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Yeah, I'm going to stick with apple.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Apple is your answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Apples is a real quizzy area, isn't it? Judith, is he right?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I think there are other everlasting apples, so maybe he is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Charlie, you're right! You're right, it is apple.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Barry, your question.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10In French cookery, what type of dish is a pithivier?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Could you spell that, please?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17P-I-T-H-I-V-I-E-R.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20P-I-T-H-I-V-I-E-R.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Pith.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Pithivier.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I've never heard of this!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Pithivier. I can't seem to get any clue from the word!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Pithivier.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Pithivier.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I don't know. It has a sound of pastry to it,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38so I shall go for puff pastry tart.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yeah, puff pastry tart is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Charlie, the wine known as Brunello di Montalcino
0:20:48 > 0:20:51is local to which region of Italy?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Ooh, no. Um...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Not great on wine locations.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I think I'm just going to have to go with Tuscany.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09But...absolute guess.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Tuscany is your answer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12It's correct.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Nicely done. Three out of three, Charlie. Well done.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Barry, over to you. If you get this wrong,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20you'll be knocked out and Charlie will be in the final.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Hadrawi is a variety of which foodstuff?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Yes, it sounds Arabic, so I will immediately rule out avocado.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I know both dates and mangos come from Arabic countries.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40In fact, I was in Egypt once, and they told me they grew
0:21:40 > 0:21:4239 different types of mango in Egypt,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45but for some reason, hadrawi sounds more like a date to me
0:21:45 > 0:21:48than a mango, so I shall choose date.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Nice logic, and you're right, date is correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55OK, so we are locked at three points each.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59You've done very well, Charlie. It's Sudden Death now, gets a bit harder.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Which nutty-flavoured paste is sometimes added to chickpeas,
0:22:03 > 0:22:08olive oil, lemon juice and garlic to make the dish, hummus?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Nutty-flavoured paste.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Um... Oh.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18A friend of mine made hummus in my flat a week or so ago,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21but I don't remember any nutty-flavoured pastes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Do you get a sort of peanut paste? Is that a thing?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I have no idea. I think...
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Well, I may as well guess peanut.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Peanut paste?- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34OK.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37You weren't looking over your friend's shoulder or showing
0:22:37 > 0:22:39any interest at all in what he was cooking?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- As you lay there on the sofa waiting to be served.- Exactly.- OK.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I'll see if Kevin knows this, cos Kevin is famously erratic on Food and Drink.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Tahini.- Tahini is correct.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's a hard question. OK, Barry.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57In 2006, what type of pie was designated
0:22:57 > 0:23:00the official steak pie of the state of Florida?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Right, now, I've eaten this and it was awful,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09but I'm trying to remember the exact name of it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I think it's key lime pie,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14but just let me have a think about that.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yes, I'm going to go for key lime pie.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Key lime pie is the right answer. Well done, you've taken the round.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Sorry, Charlie! Played well, but you did get knocked out.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31And if you come back to us, we will now play the final round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It is time for the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-heads
0:23:39 > 0:23:41can't take part in this round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So, Geffin, Charlie, Georgia and Natalie from the GUGS,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47would you please leave the studio?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Paul, what happened? They've left you on your own!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- They have, I know!- You're the only one who doesn't study German.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Yep.- Was this a plot that they somehow hatched?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- A German plot against me.- Exactly! In a language you didn't understand.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Good luck for a heroic performance. Take them on, beat them all.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It's been done before, and they get really upset,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08which is an added bonus.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10And you're playing to win the GUGS £7,000.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something
0:24:13 > 0:24:17that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I will ask each team three questions in turn, this time the questions
0:24:20 > 0:24:23are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26So the question, GUGS, is whether your one brain
0:24:26 > 0:24:30is better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Do you want to go first or second?- First, I think.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Good luck, Paul. Here we go.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40What type of clothing was the tricorn that was popular
0:24:40 > 0:24:42in the 18th-century?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It was a hat, I think.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Hat is quite right, well done. A kind of triangular thing, is it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Yeah, three corners.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Three corners, of course.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Eggheads, your question.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01What name is given to a small, ornamental pavilion-like structure,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05usually found in a garden or park and often providing a splendid view?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12THEY CONFER
0:25:12 > 0:25:13That's a gazebo.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Gazebo is the right answer.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Paul, your question.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21In 2005, the actor Ben Affleck married
0:25:21 > 0:25:23which Hollywood actress?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I think it was Jennifer Garner.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I'm not completely sure, but when you mentioned Ben Affleck, I thought,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40"I'm sure his wife's name is Jennifer something."
0:25:40 > 0:25:43So that's what I would go with.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Jennifer Garner is the right answer. Well done! Pressing hard.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Eggheads, Salvatore Lombino,
0:25:50 > 0:25:55who legally adopted the name Evan Hunter in the 1950s,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57also used which literary pseudonym?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03THEY CONFER
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Yeah, he wrote a very long-running series of American police novels
0:26:07 > 0:26:09called The 87th Precinct series.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11It's Ed McBain.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Ed McBain is correct.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15OK, if you get this right,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19there's always a chance they can slip up on the third question.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I've seen this happen, so good luck to you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Third question to you, Paul.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25All the GUGS have their fingers crossed.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Corporal John Shore of the Lifeguards,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30one of the most famous participants at the Battle of Waterloo,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33was well-known as which type of sportsman?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42That's a difficult one.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I have no idea.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Jockey is possible.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53They're all possible but, I think, maybe not a boxer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58In those days, with boxing not, maybe, a bit too...
0:26:58 > 0:27:04I don't know, a bit too rough, a bit too common, maybe, in those days.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I think I'm going to go with cricketer.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I don't really know why I would choose that over jockey,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but I'd just go with cricketer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Your answer is cricketer. See if the Eggheads know. Do you know?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- I'd have gone for that. - You would've?- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- It's wrong, actually.- Really?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah, boxer is the answer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The answer is boxer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Your question Eggheads. If you get this right, you take the contest.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34The Barringer Meteorite Crater, one of the largest and best-known
0:27:34 > 0:27:37of its type on Earth, is located in which US state?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- EGGHEADS:- Arizona.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I think it's sometimes called Meteor Crater, isn't it?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I mean, it's in Arizona, anyway. Arizona.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Your answer is Arizona.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The correct answer is Arizona.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Paul, bad luck. Bad luck, indeed.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I thought you were going like an express train there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You were going to catch them on question three,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and you didn't have the support, that's the thing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- They were mown down on the field of battle.- Exactly.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Bad luck, nice to see you all, great to see you playing. Good luck with your studies and all that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20All the best to all of you. Commiserations, GUGS.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, and their winning streak continues.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £7,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
