0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are Insted. This team of colleagues
0:00:42 > 0:00:45all teach together at Easingwold School in North Yorkshire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51I'm Bob, I'm 64 year old, and I'm a cover supervisor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Liz, I'm 45 years old.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm a teacher, a mother and a housewife.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Dave. I'm 44 and I'm a physics teacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Graham. I'm 32 years old, and a chemistry teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm Dan, I'm 31, and I teach French and Spanish.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So, Bob and team, welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I'm just trying to work out, you're teachers,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and your subjects are basically, science, Bob?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Science, mainly.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- And?- I'm chemistry. So science, yeah.- Another science teacher. Physics, this time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Chemistry, myself. - But you do languages at the end?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I do, French and Spanish. - Was this a good tactic? - LAUGHTER
0:01:28 > 0:01:30To bring everyone in on the same subject?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Are you quizzers? - We did a quiz last Friday.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We came second, and there were more than two teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- LAUGHTER - Well, that sounds promising.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Good luck, I hope you don't come second today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54So, instead, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won
0:01:54 > 0:01:55the last seven games,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Ready to start?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03OK. First head-to-head is on the subject of Film And Television.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Film And TV. Who would like this?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Graham, I think that's you.- Yeah. - Graham?- Yeah, I'm happy with that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14You've got a strategy here, I can tell. Discussed it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Who would you like to take on, Graham? Which Egghead?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Erm, was it Daphne?- Daphne.- Yes, please.- OK, so Graham from Insted
0:02:20 > 0:02:23versus our Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Well, good luck in this round, Graham.- Thank you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35And, just remind me - Insted. Why "Insted"?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Just a bit different to Ofsted. - I see, of course, the teachers' inspectorate.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- That's exactly right. So we're doing that INSTED.- All right, good.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Film And TV, Daphne. Is that a good one?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'll let you know! SHE LAUGHS
0:02:48 > 0:02:51What are you watching at the moment?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Holby City, Casualty, CSI.- Got it.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- So you like your real life drama, emergency room type things?- Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yes, learn all my science from there.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Well, you're lucky to escape the Science round on this contest,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10cos that's going to be a fearsome contest.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11So, I'll ask each of you
0:03:11 > 0:03:14three multiple-choice questions on film and television in turn.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner and goes through to the final.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Graham, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'll take the first, Jeremy.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Here we go.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Good luck. Which 1979 science fiction film
0:03:28 > 0:03:31features a computer known as Mother?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I've seen Alien quite recently, and I can't remember a...
0:03:38 > 0:03:39anything called Mother.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I think it was Logan's Run.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I vaguely remember something.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's an old film I've seen quite a long time ago,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and I remember something called Mother in there.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53So I'm going to go Logan's Run, Jeremy.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Logan's Run is your answer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'll ask CJ this, cos he's never seen a film,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59but he knows a lot about them.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- CJ?- I have seen the Alien quadrilogy, and it is Alien.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Alien is correct, Graham.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Were you hiding behind the sofa when Mother was mentioned?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I was, yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- HE LAUGHS - It is a scary film.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16It's very early on in the film, when they're brought out of sleep,
0:04:16 > 0:04:17the captain, Tom Skerrit,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20goes into this little room lined with lights, and he talks to Mother.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22How do you remember that?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Here's your question, Daphne.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30In which 1998 film did John Hannah star opposite Gwyneth Paltrow?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Haven't seen any of them.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Isn't that awful?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Erm.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Emma.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Oh, Daphne!- Sliding Doors?- You can't go through them one at a time.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- LAUGHTER - The answer is Sliding Doors.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yes. Oh.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Graham, your question.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Who starred as Danny Spencer in the TV comedy series Happiness,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02first shown in 2001?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I haven't seen that particular programme, Jeremy, but...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I'm going to opt for Paul Whitehouse.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Something in there rings a bell, somewhere.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Well done, Graham. Paul Whitehouse is the right answer.- Thank you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23So, a point has been scored.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Daphne, your question.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28In 1956, which Hollywood actor
0:05:28 > 0:05:31sustained serious injuries in a car accident
0:05:31 > 0:05:36on his way home from a party during the making of the film Raintree County?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44That was Montgomery Clift.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47My era. I loved him.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Montgomery Clift is the right answer, Daphne. One point each.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Third question to you, Graham.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56For which 1963 film did Patricia Neil
0:05:56 > 0:06:01and Melvyn Douglas win Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor Oscars?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I think it was Hud.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Not definitely sure. Haven't seen any of them, to be honest,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15but going to go Hud.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You're coming into your own, now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- You're right. Hud it is. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21OK, so pressure on you, Daphne.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24If you get this wrong, you are not in the final.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Who played Tom Builder in the 2010 television adaptation
0:06:27 > 0:06:30of Ken Follett's novel The Pillars Of The Earth?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39SHE SIGHS Haven't seen it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Pure guess, again. And I think I'm on the way out.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Matthew Macfadyen.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Matthew Macfadyen is... Any Eggheads know?- Rufus Sewell.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Rufus Sewell is the right answer. Macfadyen is wrong.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Sorry, Daphne, you're out. Well done, Graham. How about that?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Yeah, I'm delighted!- Taken her apart on Film And TV,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and it means, Daphne, you won't be in the final round.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Rubbish!- And Graham, you will.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Please, both of you come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13So, you've started well. Feeling confident?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Feeling better. LAUGHTER
0:07:15 > 0:07:19As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain. The next subject is History.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Now, which of you wants this?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Which science teacher wants this?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's either you or...
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Mr Pale.- I think it was you. - You feeling confident, Dan?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35History's not my... No, I have to say. No.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's me. I did say I'd have a go if it came up.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39You did say you'd have a go, Liz.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44OK. Against which Egghead? Obviously can't be Daphne.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Oh, yeah.- CJ?- Yeah.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49My son said, "Don't go up against CJ, you'll lose."
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- You won't.- Your son isn't here.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53LAUGHTER
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Yes.- Go on, then.- Shall we try CJ?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58We'll try CJ. Come on. CJ.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02CJ only recognises history after he was born. You'll be OK. Nothing happened before then, did it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That's why it's called HIS-story.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06LAUGHTER
0:08:06 > 0:08:10OK, it is Liz from Insted versus CJ from the Eggheads on History,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Rooms now.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- So Liz, you're a chemistry teacher. - That's correct, yes.- And since when?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I started training in 2002, 2003.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- So only for about seven years. - Well, good luck to you both.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Three questions, and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'll have the first set, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Here we go, Liz. Good luck. First question.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Cleopatra committed suicide shortly after the death of which of her partners?
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Oh. She was some woman, Cleopatra. She had lots and lots of lovers.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Erm. I'm going towards either Julius Caesar or Mark Antony.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01But I've a feeling it was Mark Antony that was her real passion,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04so I think I'm going to go
0:09:04 > 0:09:06for Mark Antony.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is she right?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Yeah.- Yes.- And all three of them were Cleopatra's lovers?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Wasn't Ptolemy her brother? - You're quite right, Liz, anyway.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Mark Antony is the answer.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21APPLAUSE
0:09:22 > 0:09:23CJ, your question.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26In British history, how many of Charles I's children
0:09:26 > 0:09:29also became English monarchs?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Oh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Charles I. 1649, he died.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Charles II.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Was there anybody else?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55After Charles II you had James II, but don't think he was.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I can't think of anybody else, so I'll try one.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The answer is Charles II
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- and James II.- Oh, it was James.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12So two is the answer, so you're ahead, Liz, after one question.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17This is an unusual contest, we're in.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's going well for you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Which Russian prime minister was assassinated in September 1911?
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Pre-revolutionary Russia, not really my field of expertise.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38This is going to be a pure guess.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'll go for Stolypin.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- I think Kevin will know this. - Yeah, it is.- It is Stolypin.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- That was a guess.- Was it really a guess?- It really was a guess.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53After the Revolution, better, but before the Revolution,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56not a lot of knowledge, so that is a pure guess.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58So, CJ, if you get this one wrong, you are gone!
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Sigismund The Old, who died in 1548 was king of which country?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I think you might have to spell "Sigismund" for me, then, please.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13S-I-G-I-S-M-U-N-D.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- "Si-gis-mund."- Erm.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Was Poland a full country by then,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22or was it just a city-state, still, then?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Sweden was a country, I think.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Don't know about Hungary, but I'm going to try Sweden.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- No, Sweden is wrong, it's Poland. - It is Poland.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37CJ, so you've been knocked out. Liz, well done!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It only took you two questions!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- How about that? - That is pretty amazing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44My mum would be proud of me,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- LAUGHTER - cos she always said my history was useless.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52You made light work of CJ. So if you both come back to us, we'll play the next round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, it's getting interesting, here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59And I can tell you that Sigismund The Old, when he died in 1548, was 81.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01He was old.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05By today's standards, he would've been Sigismund Not Very Old.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Well, getting on. - Sigismund The Getting On.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- LAUGHTER - Anyway, they are winning at the moment.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15They are winning, Eggheads. The panic can start now.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18The challengers have lost no brains from the final round,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22the Eggheads have lost two. Only got one answer right, so far.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Let's see what happens with Arts And Books.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Who wants this? I know you're waiting for Science.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Dan, do you want to? - This is the one I didn't want,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34but I'll do it in the absence of anyone else doing it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Dan?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Who do you want to take on? Not CJ or Daphne.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Kevin?- Yeah.- Yeah. - I'll go for Kevin.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46OK. So, Dan on Arts And Books against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Let's see if he can turn it around single-handedly.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55All right, so it's Arts And Books, three questions,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and you can choose, Dan, the first or second set?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I'll go first, please.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Here we go. The writer Madeleine Wickham
0:13:05 > 0:13:07has also published novels under what name?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Can't say it's an answer I know.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18So it is going to have to be a bit of a guess.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Erm.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Helen Fielding, I think that's who wrote Bridget Jones.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I've not heard of her writing anything else.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'll go for Marian Keyes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It's not Marian Keyes, actually. Sophie Kinsella is the right answer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- I guess Marian Keyes really is Marian Keyes, is she?- Yes. Yes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK, Kevin. Your question.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44In the books by PD James,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Adam Dalgliesh is well known for doing what apart from policing?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Like so many of our senior policemen, it's writing poetry.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Writing poetry's the right answer, so you're ahead. Back to you, Dan.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05In the early days of Penguin paperbacks, mystery and crime novels
0:14:05 > 0:14:07were associated with what sleeve colour?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, I know that Penguin have...
0:14:12 > 0:14:17I'm sure I've seen some re-releases of their classic novels.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Just trying to think which titles I've seen
0:14:20 > 0:14:23on which coloured background.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Don't think it's orange.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I don't really have anything to base that on.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I'll go for brown.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36It's not brown, actually. But it's not orange, either. Which is it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Green.- It's green. Now, I can remember
0:14:39 > 0:14:41a lot of Agatha Christie in green. Is that right?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- Yup.- Yeah.- She was published by them? - Yes.- Cos I read a whole load
0:14:45 > 0:14:46when I was about 11.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Kevin, your question. If you get this right,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50you've taken the round.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Edward Murdstone is the stepfather of which Dickens character?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, he is David Copperfield's.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06David Copperfield is indeed stepson of Edward Murdstone.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Well done, Kevin, you've taken the round.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Dan, sorry. You've been knocked out.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15So the first setback for your team. You won't be in the final.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Please, both of you, come back to us now.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So, is the tide turning for the Eggheads?
0:15:20 > 0:15:25The challengers have now lost a brain from that final round, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26And the last subject is Sport.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So, Science never came up.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30How about that? Luck of the draw.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- You take it. - Want me to have a go?- Dave?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Yeah.- Try that one. - Said with conviction.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Against which Egghead? You can have, let me see, Pat or Judith.- Judith.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Seems like it's going to be Judith.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- What a surprise!- Was that your Don't-pick-me-for-sport face, Judith?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, it was an attempt, a try. I thought if I smiled.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- LAUGHTER - Don't be put off by a smile.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- My eyesight isn't that good, unfortunately.- All right.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01So it is Dave from Insted versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08So, three questions on Sport. Dave, you can choose the first or second set.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Here's your first question.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Around 1911, the French rugby union team adopted which emblem?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Now, I now that they've used the Fleur-de-lis
0:16:27 > 0:16:29for a lot of the sports in France.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Erm.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34But I'm sort of drawn towards a rooster,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36so I'm going to say rooster, Jeremy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Rooster is correct. Not an easy question.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Judith, the 400 metres hurdler, Dai Greene,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47represented which team at the 2010 Commonwealth Games?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Dai Greene. Oh, Dai - Wales.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57D-A-I. Did you say "Dai"?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Dai is spelt D-A-I, Greene is spelt G-R-E-E-N-E.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Wales.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- You sure about that? - Well, "Dai" is Welsh.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well done. Wales is the right answer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Brilliant use of logic.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Dave. Which former England football international was removed by Chelsea
0:17:15 > 0:17:18from his position as assistant first team coach in November 2010?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Right. OK. Erm.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I don't think Teddy Sheringham's ever been at Chelsea,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I think he was at Tottenham for a while.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And also, similarly, I don't think Stuart Pearce
0:17:32 > 0:17:33has been that involved with them,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36but I do know Ray Wilkins was a first team coach there,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38so I'll say Ray Wilkins.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Ray Wilkins is the right answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Judith.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The tennis player David Nalbandian was born in which country?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I think that's Argentina.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- Let's check with CJ. He knows.- Yes, he lost the 2002 Wimbledon final.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Argentina is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So it's two each. Tight round. Back to you, Dave.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Which Formula 1 racing team had its first Grand Prix win
0:18:10 > 0:18:12in 1951 at Silverstone?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Oh, this is a tough one.
0:18:20 > 0:18:251951 indicates it's going to be one of the older teams.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28And I think out of those three, only one of them goes back that far.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I know Williams is quite a new one.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34McLaren, likewise, again.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Unless they changed their name. So I'm going to say Ferrari, Jeremy.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Nice work, you've got it right. Ferrari it is.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- JEREMY LAUGHS - Good play!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So, Judith, what's going to happen now?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Does it go to Sudden Death, or do you get knocked out? Here is your question.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53At the 1972 Olympic Games, the gymnast Olga Korbut
0:18:53 > 0:18:56won gold medals in the team, floor and which other event?
0:19:02 > 0:19:07I can't remember. But I have a sort of vision of her on a beam.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10So I'm going to say balance beam.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- You've got a vision of Olga Korbut on a beam?- Mm.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Well, it's won you the point. Balance beam is correct.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So, three each, we go to Sudden Death, Dave.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I'm looking to you for the answer. Here's your question.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29In 1969, Seymour Nurse scored 258 runs
0:19:29 > 0:19:32in the final test match innings of his career
0:19:32 > 0:19:35for which international cricket team?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I don't think that was England,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40and I'm drawn towards the West Indies, for some reason.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I don't actually know the name at all.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But something tells me... I'm going to say West Indies.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47West Indies is the right answer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Pressure on you, Judith, now. Here we go.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Which football team plays Coventry City
0:19:55 > 0:19:57in the match known as the M69 Derby?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, dear. I really don't know.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The M69. Erm.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I'm trying to look at a map in my mind, but...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Stoke. I don't know. Stoke.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19- Leicester City is the answer.- Oh. - So you've been knocked out. Another Egghead is gone!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well done, Dave, you won on Sport.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25And even though you didn't get your precious Science subject,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27it didn't seem to matter very much.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31If you both come back to us, we'll play the final round.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's time for our final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:38 > 0:20:40won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46So, Dan from Insted and Judith, CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48would you please now leave the studio.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55So, Bob, Liz, Dave and Graham, you're playing to win Insted £8,000.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:20:59 > 0:21:00the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08The questions are all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12So, Insted, the question is, are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Don't answer that. You don't have to. Do you want to go first or second?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17First, please.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Bob and team, good luck. Here is your fist question.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26In the United States, the song Take Me Out To The Ball Game
0:21:26 > 0:21:29is particularly associated with which sport?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Baseball.- I'd say baseball. - Baseball's my...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39We're going for baseball, Jeremy.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Baseball is the right answer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Eggheads.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47In classical ballet, what name is given
0:21:47 > 0:21:50to the position in which the dancer stands upright on one leg
0:21:50 > 0:21:54with the other leg raised in front or behind with the knee bent?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Battement is when the leg beats backwards and forwards,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04it's not that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Plie is a type of deep bend, I think.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So I think it's attitude, cos attitude can mean
0:22:10 > 0:22:12either with the leg one way or the other.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Can we have it again, Jeremy?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16In classical ballet, what name is given to the position
0:22:16 > 0:22:19in which the dancer stands upright on one leg
0:22:19 > 0:22:23with the other leg raised in front or behind with the knee bent?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- What's plie?- I think a plie is a deep bend that involves both knees.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I may be... I may be wrong on that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Battement is certainly as it sounds, it's the leg batting
0:22:37 > 0:22:38backwards and forwards.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- I think it's attitude.- OK. - I may be wrong.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- It might be plie, but I don't... - No, I don't really know.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I think it's attitude. - OK, we'll go with that.- OK?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We're a little uncertain, but we're going with attitude.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Attitude is the right answer. - Well done.- Thank you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Second question.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Which is the southernmost state capital of mainland Australia?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- Perth's on the west.- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Sydney, Melbourne. - It's top right, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Melbourne's definitely further south than Sydney, but Perth...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Perth or Melbourne, isn't it? - Perth or Melbourne.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- I'd say Perth was more northwest. - Yes, I would.- Than Melbourne?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Well, Perth is in the southwest. - Is it?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22But I don't know, if you had it on a line of latitude,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24where Melbourne and Perth.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I think Melbourne.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I think Melbourne. Think about the shape of Australia.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- I think Melbourne.- But Melbourne's in a bay, so it's a bit... It's not.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35So what do you reckon?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- I think Melbourne.- Melbourne? - That would be my first.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Melbourne.- All right. - We're going with Melbourne, Jeremy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43The correct answer is Melbourne.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47You guys are good. You're good.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49This is quite a contest. Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54The Michelin Guide was first published in which year?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03The Michelin Guide was first published in which year?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Which Michelin Guide is that?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I presume it's the restaurant guide, as opposed to the standard,
0:24:11 > 0:24:12green tourist guidebooks.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16It must be the restaurant guide. Was it originally about restaurants?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Or was it about something else?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I mean, they started off by publishing, essentially,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26tourist guides, because it's a driving-related organisation.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30First impressions, it's quite old, so I don't like 1970.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31No. No.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36No, I mean, they've done various things over time, of course.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And diversified into all kinds of guide books
0:24:39 > 0:24:42for one thing and another.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I don't know, I'm inclined to 1900, but I don't know about you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I mean, that is a danger, because of the...
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Mm. Did they have automobiles in 1900?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58My feeling was that it's quite an old, quite an established,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- venerable outfit.- Yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:051935's just in the middle, it's just ambiguous.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08It's quite a long time ago, but...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah. Any fancy?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Erm.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17A slight fancy for 1900, but nothing substantial.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Yeah, I think we'll have to... - It's almost a guess.- Yeah, it is.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22We're a bit stumped, here.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25We're going to have to guess, and we're going to go
0:25:25 > 0:25:26all the way back to 1900.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29OK, you obviously were struggling with that one.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Do you know the answer? No?- No.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Daphne looks like she's happy with that. 1900 is the right answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Ooh, how lovely would it have been
0:25:40 > 0:25:41if they'd just stumbled, there?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45OK. Get this one right, keep the pressure on them.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Kaare Klint
0:25:48 > 0:25:52born in Copenhagen in 1888, was best known as a designer of what?
0:25:52 > 0:25:58Now, the name is spelt K-A-A-R-E, and then K-L-I-N-T.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Kaare Klint, born in Copenhagen in 1888,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04was best known as a designer of what?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09What do you think?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Ring any bells with you, Liz?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Jewellery. Is that too obvious?
0:26:14 > 0:26:161880. Cars.
0:26:16 > 0:26:181880. There doesn't...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Cos you think when she'd have been 20, it would've been the 1900s.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Yeah.- So, logically, cars doesn't work, does it? No.- No.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Could be furniture, but I've never heard furniture...
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Her initials, KK, did she use those...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36..as a sort of monogram on stuff?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I mean, I can't think of anything with KK on.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think we're going to have to plump for jewellery.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44I don't know.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- We could just go round in circles. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50We're going to plump for jewellery, Jeremy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Your answer is jewellery.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55"She" was actually a man.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Kaare Klint.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Don't know if that helps at all.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Probably furniture.- Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I'm inclined to jewellery, myself.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Were you? Correct answer is furniture.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09THEY GROAN
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So if you get this right, Eggheads,
0:27:11 > 0:27:12you've taken the contest.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Here is your question, your third question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18What name is given to Cambridge mathematic undergraduates
0:27:18 > 0:27:21who pass their third year exams with first class honours?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- First and second wrangler. Senior wranglers.- The wranglers, yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31They're in pecking order, aren't they?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Yeah, there's senior wranglers and various other wranglers.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Erm. It's a very distinguished qualification for a maths student.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42They're wranglers, and I think they're actually ranked
0:27:42 > 0:27:44first wrangler, second wrangler, third wrangler.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Several of the great mathematicians
0:27:46 > 0:27:48have been senior wranglers at Cambridge.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Your answer is wranglers.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The top maths undergraduates
0:27:52 > 0:27:55at Cambridge are indeed called wranglers.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59You got it right, Eggheads, so we say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02APPLAUSE
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It's like you were bearing down on the money
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- and it was snatched away.- Well... - You really were, I thought,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13methodically going to take the prize, but...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Yeah.- Very enjoyable. - Commiserations.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Their winning streak continues.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm afraid that does mean you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:24 > 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 > 0:28:35have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
