0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where

0:00:25 > 0:00:27a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31Their quiz pedigree is well-known,

0:00:31 > 0:00:34as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz champions today are

0:00:39 > 0:00:40the Rigsbys.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Now, this team is made up of

0:00:41 > 0:00:43ex-players and supporters

0:00:43 > 0:00:45of Buckland Athletic Football Club

0:00:45 > 0:00:46in Newton Abbot, in Devon.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Gary, I'm 50 and I'm a flooring contractor.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm Ken, I'm 83,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm a flooring and tile contractor, retired.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Graeme, I'm 44

0:01:00 > 0:01:01and I'm an embalmer.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Roy, I'm 64 and a retired builder.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Simmo. I'm 40, and I'm a facilities manager.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11So, Gary and team. Welcome.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12- Good to see you.- Thank you.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Ex-players and supporters of the club.- Yeah, definitely.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Roy is actually still the chairman of Buckland Football Club,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21and Simmo still does the groundsman.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23And we're actually retired players now.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26No-one actually plays any more, apart from Dad.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27But the club is still going?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- The club is still going, yeah, yeah. - How is it doing?

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Very well, top of the Peninsula League, in Devon & Cornwall.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Premier Division.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37And we've got a brand new club house,

0:01:37 > 0:01:41which everyone thinks is probably the best club house in the area. We're doing very well.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44You come from a beautiful part of the country, don't you?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- We do. We do. We...- Make us jealous.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48I look out of my bedroom, I can see the moors.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50I travel a mile up the road and go to the beach,

0:01:50 > 0:01:53so it's not a bad place to live.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55All right. Why aren't we all living there?

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05So, Rigsbys, the Eggheads have won the last ten games,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08which means £11,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Would you like to try?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12ALL: Yes, we would. I think so, yes.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15All right. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of sport.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Challengers.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Well, Ken.- Ken, didn't we? - Yeah, we did say Ken.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yeah, I think it's got to be Ken. - We all agree.- Yeah.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK, so it's Ken on this side, and against which Egghead, Ken?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who would you like to take on?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31I'll take on Chris.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Chris on sport.- Yeah.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Ken from Rigsbys against Chris of the Eggheads.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37And to ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:37 > 0:02:41would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44So Ken, how are you on sports?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Er...pretty good on certain things, but not on everything.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Which is your favourite?

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Oh, well... Like yours, football. - OK.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Chris, your favourite sport?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Hating sport.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I thought so.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, three multiple-choice questions on sport in turn.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Whoever answers most questions correctly is the winner

0:03:03 > 0:03:06and goes through to the final. The other person gets knocked out.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Ken, do you want the first or second set of questions?

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Oh, I'll take the first please.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15And here we go, good luck.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18What term is used for the action of a baseball player who runs

0:03:18 > 0:03:19to the next base while the pitcher

0:03:19 > 0:03:22is delivering the ball to the batter?

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Borrow.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Borrow is wrong, actually.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's steal, as in...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Stealing a base.- Stealing a base.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Steal a march.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Chris, your question.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41What was the first cricket ground in England to host a test match?

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Oh... This was back in about the 1870s, wasn't it?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Trent Bridge and Heading...

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Well, they're all county grounds.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54But the one that's been there

0:03:54 > 0:03:56the longest is Kennington Oval,

0:03:56 > 0:03:57so it's got to be The Oval.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00The Oval is correct.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Back to Ken.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05In which sport was the United States team at the Beijing Olympics

0:04:05 > 0:04:08widely known as the Redeem Team?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh, I think I'll go for basketball.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17No hesitation.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Basketball is right. Well done.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Nice work.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Chris, your question.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Which football club is nicknamed The Millers?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, Plymouth Argyle are

0:04:32 > 0:04:34The Seagulls, aren't they? So it's not them.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36No, Brighton are The Seagulls.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40There used to be a lot of steel mills in Rotherham,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42but I'm not going with that either.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46We've got various names for Stoke in Crewe,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48most of them unflattering.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Er...perm one from three...

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Rotherham United.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Is he right, Eggheads?

0:04:54 > 0:04:55ALL: Yes.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57You're right with Rotherham United.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't know how you did that.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Steel mills.- Steel mills, OK, well done.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04So Ken, you need this one right.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Otherwise, you'll be knocked out. - Yeah.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Who won motorcycling's 2010 Moto GP title?

0:05:16 > 0:05:20Oh... I know nothing about this sport, again so...

0:05:20 > 0:05:21it's got to be a guess.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Er...Jorge Lorenzo.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26It's the right answer.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27ALL: Yeah!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Nicely done. OK, so...

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Well done to you.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33If Chris gets this right, he has taken the round.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Here's your question.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Which all-time great British boxer was born Gershon Mendeloff in 1893?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46There was a great tradition in the 19th century of Jewish boxers,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48wasn't there?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Er...Randy Turpin is too late,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51I think Jimmy Wilde is too late.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I think he boxed as Ted "Kid" Lewis.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56If you've got this right

0:05:56 > 0:05:57you're in the final, Chris.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59The answer is Ted "Kid" Lewis.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Three out of three. Sorry, Ken.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04You come back, but you've been knocked out, I'm afraid.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Chris will be in the final round.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Please both of you come back here and rejoin your teams.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain

0:06:12 > 0:06:16from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Early days, though. Next subject is politics.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Who would like this?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, I think we've got someone there.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26We've talked this over, yeah.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30And I was nominated for all the subjects no-one else wanted.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Not because of my knowledge, but I think because of my size.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35So it's me doing politics, Jeremy.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38OK, Roy on politics. Against which Egghead? It can't be Chris.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Seeing the first one I saw today was Pat, I'll go for Pat.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43- Yeah.- OK.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Right, so Roy from the Rigsbys

0:06:45 > 0:06:48versus Pat from the Eggheads on politics.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, Roy, you were a builder.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Yes, Jeremy, yeah.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58And a lot of interest in the football club still, I know.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Yes, known as the fat controller, for obvious reasons.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06I'm chairman and have been for the past ten years, I think, yeah.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07You have an interest in politics?

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Apparently, according to the rest of the team, yes.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Good luck against Pat. Three questions, multiple choice.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16You can choose the first or the second set.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Jeremy, I'd like to go first, please.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Good luck, Roy.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Which former Conservative MP took part in the 2010 series

0:07:26 > 0:07:28of Strictly Come Dancing?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Now, it's a programme I never watch,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I must admit.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38But...

0:07:38 > 0:07:42I do remember some talk in our local area of

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Ann Widdecombe practising in one of the church halls near us,

0:07:46 > 0:07:48so I'm going to plump for Ann Widdecombe.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Ann Widdecombe, so she practised in Devon, did she?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52- Indeed.- She lives in Dartmoor.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- She lives in Dartmoor.- Yeah.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55She was seen practising...

0:07:55 > 0:07:57So you could have stopped it if you'd actually intervened.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I could have, yes! - Ann Widdecombe is the right answer.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Pat.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Pat, the incumbent of which position is the UK Head of State?

0:08:11 > 0:08:14The UK Head of State.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16My first instinct is it's the monarch.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Er...

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think the Prime Minister and the Archbishop

0:08:19 > 0:08:23feature in the succession pecking order.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27But I think the UK's Head of State is the reigning monarch.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yeah, so obviously, you're looking for the catch there.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Monarch is the right answer.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Well done.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Roy, which Liberal Democrat MP was appointed

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Secretary for Energy and Climate Change in 2010?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Er...I'm not at all sure on this one, Jeremy.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50It'll have to be some sort of guess.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Something's telling me, I don't know why,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55to go for Nick Harvey. And that will be my choice.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Nick Harvey is wrong, actually.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's Chris Huhne.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Your question, Pat.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Which TV reporter made the news himself in October 2010

0:09:05 > 0:09:07when he destroyed a protester's placard

0:09:07 > 0:09:09by stamping on it at Westminster?

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Quite an image,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18a TV reporter stamping on a placard.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21I have a very faint recollection

0:09:21 > 0:09:24of Nick Robinson being involved in something.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27It seems a pretty unlikely behaviour for any of them..

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Now I think of it, Andrew Marr was also in the news for...

0:09:31 > 0:09:35for something other than his standard presentation duties.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Andrew Marr, Nick Robinson... I think it's one of those two.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I think I'll go for Andrew Marr,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43but it's...it's pretty much 50/50.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Andrew Marr.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45It's not really 50/50.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's definitely Nick Robinson.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Andrew Marr is wrong. He'll be pleased, I'll tell him.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53He's an answer in a question on Eggheads.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57You've really made it when you're the answer in a quiz, aren't you?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK, so you're back in

0:09:59 > 0:10:00with a good chance here, now Roy.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Your third question.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05The US politician Jerry Brown was elected governor

0:10:05 > 0:10:06of which state in 2010

0:10:06 > 0:10:12after having previously served as governor there from 1975 to 1983?

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Once again, my political knowledge is going to let me down, I fancy.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I haven't a clue, but...

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I'm going to stab for Texas.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- It was not Texas.- No. - It was California.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35If you get this one right, Pat, you've taken the round.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Which MP introduced the Private Members' Bill

0:10:37 > 0:10:42that resulted in the passing of the 1967 Abortion Act?

0:10:47 > 0:10:52Teddy Taylor was Conservative. Tony Benn is Labour.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53I think it was David Steel

0:10:53 > 0:10:56who introduced the Private Members' Bill.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58David Steel is the right answer. You've taken that round.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Sorry, Roy, you've been knocked out

0:11:01 > 0:11:03by our Egghead, and you won't be in the final.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Please both come back, rejoin us, and we'll play the next round.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10So, is there a change of... What's the football analogy?

0:11:10 > 0:11:11A change of the midfield needed?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Possibly. We were going to put Roy in goal originally.

0:11:15 > 0:11:21- But he's been sent off.- He has been sent off! But, it's early days, yet.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25OK, The Challengers have lost two brains from the final round.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. The next subject is Science.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33- This any good?- Yes, this has possibilities.- Yes, indeed.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- This is one of the subjects that somebody volunteered for!- Yeah.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- We're going to play Graeme. - Graeme on Science, OK. Against?

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Which Egghead? I know you are an embalmer.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- You have to imagine them as living people now.- CJ?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I think I would like to play CJ.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55OK, Graeme from Rigsbys, versus CJ from The Eggheads. On Science.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04- So, Science is up your street, Graeme?- Yeah, pretty much, I think.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Mainly because nobody else wanted it.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Good luck, Graeme. Good luck, CJ.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Three questions on Science, in turn.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Would you like the first or second set, Graeme?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Can I go first please, Jeremy?

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Of course you can, here we go.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25The pituitary gland, Graeme, is normally about the size of a what?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, I am pretty sure I know this already.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36It's definitely not a grapefruit. That's way too big.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39I am going to go for pea, Jeremy.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Pea is the right answer, well done. - Oh, main man!

0:12:43 > 0:12:47It would have been easy to get that wrong, it's a very important gland.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50- What is it, down the base of the brain?- In the base of the brain.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52CJ, your question. What is a wheatear?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I haven't heard of this, I'm afraid.

0:13:01 > 0:13:08Names which tend to include foodstuffs tend to be more birds.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12And there are an awful lot of those.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16You can see them eating ears of wheat, can't you?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I don't know this, but I'll try bird.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Bird is the right answer.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22OK, Graeme, your question.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27The fishing cat is a wild species native to which continent?

0:13:30 > 0:13:35As soon as you asked the question, I thought South America.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Just let me think about this.

0:13:37 > 0:13:43I am going to go for my initial thought. South America, Jeremy.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48South America is wrong, I'm afraid. It's Asia. It's Asia.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53So, back to you, CJ. To take the lead.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Tommy Flowers, who was particularly known for his work

0:13:56 > 0:14:01during the Second World War, was a British pioneer of which technology?

0:14:07 > 0:14:10I...

0:14:10 > 0:14:12am not sure.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15I don't think it's computers.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20I think it's more industrial, I think it's radar or jet engines.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24I am going to try radar.

0:14:24 > 0:14:25It's not radar.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Anybody know on this side?

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Computers?- Computers it is, CJ. The one you ruled out.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Bletchley.- Bletchley?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36He was a post office engineer,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39he built the first programmable computer. Electronic.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41All with the valves and relays,

0:14:41 > 0:14:44and that's how they finally managed to break the Enigma code.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- In the Second World War? - Yes.- Right. Tommy Flowers.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49There we go. Graeme, your question.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53One point each. Take the lead, if you get this right.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Which 19th-century scientist is credited with the invention

0:14:56 > 0:15:00of the "pilot", or "cowcatcher", on the front of railway locomotives.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I am sure Chris would know this.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I am really not sure, so I will go right down the middle.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15For Charles Lyell.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Your team-mates know? - I would have gone Lyell myself.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22It's Babbage, actually. Charles Babbage.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25CJ, your question, to take the round.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28How did the German chemist, J Wilbrand,

0:15:28 > 0:15:33intend TNT to be used when he discovered it in 1863?

0:15:39 > 0:15:44Again, this is one I have heard, but unless I can place something,

0:15:44 > 0:15:46it's going to be a guess.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Possibly ill-advisedly, but the more I think about it

0:15:50 > 0:15:52the more I think I'll go for yellow dye.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55If you've got this right, you're in the final.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58The answer is yellow dye, CJ. Quite right.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01It became TNT, or maybe it just exploded in front of him did it?

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Is that what happened?

0:16:02 > 0:16:07Well, trinitrotoluene is basically a solvent/dyestuff.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I suppose one day he was messing about and it blew up, yeah.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13It would certainly give a kick to flavours, to crisps,

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- if it was a flavour enhancer. - It would.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17CJ, you are in the final.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Graeme, sorry, you've been knocked out.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22So please, both of you, rejoin your teams.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK, as it stands,

0:16:24 > 0:16:27The Challengers have lost three brains from the final round.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. The last subject is Music.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32I think I might take Music.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34I thought it might be you, Gary.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39Gary, from the Rigsbys, against...

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I don't know, mate. Daphne's very good at Music.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43I think we'll go for Barry.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45He's nearly as good.

0:16:45 > 0:16:51Gary from Rigsbys, against Barry, hiding down there,

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- from the Eggheads.- Unsuccessfully!

0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's Music, and please go to the Question Room now.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, Gary, finally I can ask you why

0:16:58 > 0:17:01you've chosen the name Rigsbys for your team.

0:17:01 > 0:17:09Rigsby was my dog. Was, I say was, he was my dog from about 1987-2001.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12He was forever by my side when I played football

0:17:12 > 0:17:14and managed football for Buckland.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17And when he passed away in 2001,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Buckland actually had a minute's silence prior to the game.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24For Rigsby, who I am endeavouring to write a book on.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I see, the adventures of his life, basically.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Well, my life during that time of 15 years or so.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34OK. Well, let's hope we can make a good chapter out of this.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37A sort of British Marley And Me, if you like.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Would you like the first or second set of questions on Music,

0:17:40 > 0:17:41which I know you love?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43I think we'll go first, if that's OK.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Here we go. Good Luck.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Which Cliff Richard hit single has the opening lyrics,

0:17:50 > 0:17:54"When I was young, my father said Son, I have something to say."

0:17:58 > 0:18:01I'm pretty sure I know this one, it's not Living Doll.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03It'll Be Me doesn't ring any bells,

0:18:03 > 0:18:07but, I'm pretty sure, Cliff, as he still is, is a Bachelor Boy.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Well done, Gary.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Cliff is a Bachelor Boy, you got the right answer. Well done.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Barry, you are obviously auditioning for a part in the Beach Boys.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20- Are they looking for a new member? - Surfing?- A fantastic shirt.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Your question, the stage musical Sunshine On Leith

0:18:23 > 0:18:26features the music of which Scottish band?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Gosh, I've not heard of this one,

0:18:33 > 0:18:36and they're all Scottish bands, which doesn't help.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Er, Sunshine On Leith?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42I really don't know, but I'll go for The Proclaimers.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Yes, The Proclaimers is the right answer.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- I bet you like them, Gary. - Proclaimers?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Yes, I have seen The Proclaimers. - Good band.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, your question.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54The composer Henryk Gorecki

0:18:54 > 0:18:58was born in, and spent most of his life, in which European country?

0:19:02 > 0:19:07I am going towards Poland, but Henryk again sounds Scandinavian.

0:19:09 > 0:19:15I am pushing away from Greece, I hopefully will disregard Greece.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'm going to go for Denmark.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24You've just swerved away from the right answer. Poland it is.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26The logic was taking you there.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28OK, Barry, your question.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30What is the title of Ellie Goulding's debut album

0:19:30 > 0:19:34that reached number one in the UK in 2010?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Gosh! That's another one that's passed me by.

0:19:44 > 0:19:51Lights rings some sort of notice in my mind, so I will try Lights.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52Lights rings a bell, does it?

0:19:52 > 0:19:56It's the right answer. You've taken the lead.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Gary, you need to get this one right to stay in.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01The brothers Jonny and Colin Greenwood

0:20:01 > 0:20:03were founder members of which band?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Jonny and Colin Greenwood?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12The brothers Jonny and Colin Greenwood

0:20:12 > 0:20:15were founder members of which band?

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Radiohead.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Is the right answer.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Oh, well done!- Ha-ha-ha!

0:20:21 > 0:20:23OK, Barry, your question.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25If you get this wrong, we'll go to Sudden Death.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Tchaikovsky's opera the Queen Of Spades

0:20:29 > 0:20:32is based on a novella by which Russian author?

0:20:36 > 0:20:41I think the Queen Of Spades is based on a novella by Pushkin.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43You're quite right, Pushkin is the answer.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Gary, you're out. Barry will be in the final.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Polish one.- It's going to be a tough final for the Rigsbys.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Please come back and we'll play.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55It is time for the final round,

0:20:55 > 0:20:57which, as always, is General Knowledge

0:20:57 > 0:20:59but I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-head

0:20:59 > 0:21:01won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05So, Gary, Ken, Graeme and Roy from Rigsbys

0:21:05 > 0:21:07would you please leave the studio.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Simmo, you're playing to win the Rigsbys £11,000.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,

0:21:15 > 0:21:17you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:21:17 > 0:21:19the Eggheads' reputation.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22As usual, it's going to be three questions in turn.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25They're general knowledge and I usually say you can confer

0:21:25 > 0:21:27but, obviously, it's not an option now.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29You can confer, Eggheads.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31So, Simmo, the question is,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Simmo, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42All the best to the Rigsbys and to you, Simmo.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Who directed the films The Bridges Of Madison County,

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Flags Of Our Fathers and Invictus?

0:21:54 > 0:21:57I've not actually seen The Bridges Of Madison County

0:21:57 > 0:22:00but Flags Of My Fathers I have seen and I think that's Clint Eastwood.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Clint Eastwood is the right answer, nice work.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07You're off the blocks.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Eggheads, what nickname has been given to Renzo Piano's design

0:22:10 > 0:22:12for a triangular glass skyscraper

0:22:12 > 0:22:16on the south bank of the River Thames in Southwark?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- The Shard.- The Shard, yeah.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25That's The Shard, Jeremy.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27It is The Shard, well done.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Over to you, Simmo.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33The novelist DH Lawrence married a distant cousin

0:22:33 > 0:22:35of which First World War figure?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Oh...I'm not very good on history.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Lawrence Of Arabia, I've seen the film.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Erm...

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I'm probably going to go for Baron von Richthofen.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Baron von Richthofen is your answer. OK.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00You've got it right.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Ha-ha-ha! Do you want to tell us how you got there?

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- It was just a matter of elimination. - Seems unlikely, two Lawrence's.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10I really didn't know. That was a real guess.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Well, is he the Red Baron? - Yes.- Yes.- Yes.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- He's the one who did the First World War flying.- Flying Circus.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20- In the propeller plane and all that? - A Fokker DR1 triplane. Yeah.- Right.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Eggheads, your question, to catch up with Simmo.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29In June 2010, Daniel Westling became a member of the Royal family

0:23:29 > 0:23:33in which country when he married Crown Princess Victoria?

0:23:36 > 0:23:41- It was Sweden.- Sweden.- Big Swedish royal wedding, yeah.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42That was Sweden.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47- I think he was her personal trainer at one time.- Met her at the gym.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51- He met her at the gym, did he?- Yes. There's hope for you yet!- Hmm!

0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Is that why you hang out at the gym, CJ?- Let's go with yes!

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Sweden is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01They are in that, sort of, slightly complacent mood.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05They give the answers quickly and think it's all going their way.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09It can change, believe me, they've fallen flat on a third question.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10If you get this one right

0:24:10 > 0:24:13there is a chance they're going to get their third question wrong

0:24:13 > 0:24:15and then you take £11,000.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19- That would be nice.- Simmo, good luck.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Where does the Pope wear his zucchetto?

0:24:26 > 0:24:30It's spelt Z-U-C-C-H-E-T-T-O.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Where does the Pope where his zucchetto?

0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'm just trying to picture the Pope now.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40I'm sort of leaning toward his head.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Just, just, sort of, the white thing on there.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Erm, I really don't know this one again,

0:24:44 > 0:24:48so, another guess, but I'm going to go with his head.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Your answer is on his head. Eggheads, do you know?

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Yes.- Is the right answer! Three out of three!

0:24:54 > 0:24:58They're going crazy backstage. How about that, guys?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00How will you share the money if you win it?

0:25:00 > 0:25:01- Oh, I'm taking it all, mate!- Ha!

0:25:01 > 0:25:04You go that exit and I'll try and hold them up. OK

0:25:04 > 0:25:07All right, so this is interesting.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Didn't think it was going to end up like this, did we, Eggheads?

0:25:09 > 0:25:14You're on the ropes now. If you get this one wrong they've won £11,000.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Wipe that smile off your faces!

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Which influential 18th-century legal expert wrote that,

0:25:19 > 0:25:25"It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer."?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36If you get it wrong you've lost the contest.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37I'm not sure, but Blackstone?

0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Blackstone is the legal textbooks, isn't it?- Is the legal textbook.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- How about Pat? What does Pat think? - I don't know.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45It was 18th century?

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Oh, dear.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52We all know the quotation.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54The only one, I mean, they might all be legal

0:25:54 > 0:25:57but the only one I definitely recognise as a legal book

0:25:57 > 0:25:58- is Blackstone.- Yeah.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I've got a feeling...

0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'd still go with Blackstone myself.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Yes.- So would I cos he was so,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09so pre-eminent in his field in that century.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11OK.

0:26:12 > 0:26:18We don't know, Simmo, so we are go going to go for,

0:26:18 > 0:26:22on the grounds he's the only one we've heard of,

0:26:22 > 0:26:24William Blackstone.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28Your answer is William Blackstone. OK, it's gone red, I've taken it.

0:26:28 > 0:26:34Only seven times previously has a team been reduced to one player

0:26:34 > 0:26:37and then defeated the Eggheads.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39The answer is William Blackstone.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Oh!- You're off the hook for now.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43You tease!

0:26:43 > 0:26:44THEY LAUGH

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Well, you've not won yet.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49OK, we go to Sudden Death now, Simmo.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Sorry, they do sometimes get that third question wrong.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Not today though.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56So, this is a bit harder, I don't give you alternative options.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Here's your question. Which British motorway

0:26:59 > 0:27:04was officially opened by Margaret Thatcher on October 29, 1986?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Erm...

0:27:06 > 0:27:09I really don't know that, another guess.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Erm, I think I'll go for the...

0:27:13 > 0:27:15M4.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18No, it was the M25 around London.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20OK, Eggheads,

0:27:20 > 0:27:22if you get this one right you've taken the contest.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Great swinging in fortunes in this game. Here we go.

0:27:26 > 0:27:32The renowned dancer Carlos Acosta was born in 1973 in which country?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Cuban, isn't he?- Is he Cuban?

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Cuba.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Cuba...

0:27:41 > 0:27:43is the correct answer.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Eggheads, congratulations, you have won!

0:27:53 > 0:27:55You really did all that could be expected of you there.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58- It was all guessing. - In the history of Eggheads,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00only seven times has it happened

0:28:00 > 0:28:01that one player has beaten all five of them

0:28:01 > 0:28:03but you got three out of three...

0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Happy with that.- You don't always get all three right in the final.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- It's all you can hope to do.- Yeah.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11I was certain, when the legal question came up, I thought,

0:28:11 > 0:28:13"There's going to be confusion.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16- "And the more of them the better!" - It was close.- Yeah.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19It was Barry who was certain about the Blackstone thing there.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- You can blame Barry! - I'll see him after!
