0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Their pedigree is well known,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quizzes.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads. And taking on the awesome might
0:00:38 > 0:00:40of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Steel City Students.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43This team of friends
0:00:43 > 0:00:46are all second-year students at Sheffield University.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Hannah. I'm 20 years old and I'm a student of Town Planning.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Alex. I'm 20 years old and I'm studying Law.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Dan. I'm 19 years old and I'm an Engineering student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Helena. I'm 19 years old and I'm a student of Town Planning.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Tom. I'm 20 years old and I'm a student of English Literature.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hannah and team, great to see you. Welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13So you're flatmates...somehow. Tell us how that works.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I live with Alex
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and we lived in a flat next door to Tom and Dan
0:01:19 > 0:01:24and Helena is on my course, and we met on the first day of university.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And what does a 21st-Century flatshare look like?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Who does what? Who does the duties
0:01:28 > 0:01:31with the oven cleaning and the fridge defrosting?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I think it's very different for boys and girls.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- More organised in the girls' house. - Definitely!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- You have cooking nights and stuff? - Yeah, we have a rota
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and we take it in turns, which is the sensible option, not like the boys.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'm just trying to guess what happens in the boys' flat.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47I don't want to know.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We live about two doors away from a takeaway, so that...
0:01:50 > 0:01:51LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Why did we expect that answer?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So, Steel City Students, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:02:05 > 0:02:10which means £12,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12The first head to head battle is on Film and Television.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Who would like this?- Right. - I think that was you, Alex.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- That'll be me, yep!- Alex.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Alex, on Film and TV.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now, pick an Egghead. You've got all five to choose from.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- I'd say maybe Judith.- You think?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Yeah, Judith.- Judith, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- OK, Judith, first round.- Yep.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Up and at 'em. You up for that?
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- Yep, absolutely.- Good.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Alex from the Steel City Students against Judith from the Eggheads
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43So, I will ask each of you
0:02:43 > 0:02:47three multiple-choice questions on Film and Television in turn.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Alex, you can choose the first
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- or the second set. - I'll go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Good luck.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Which character in a 1970s children's TV show
0:02:58 > 0:02:59was a time-travelling wizard?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oh, I've got no idea, actually.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Not a very good start!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I'll have to take a little bit of a guess, and say...
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Catweazle?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Nicely done. Catweazle's the right answer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17SHE LAUGHS
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Judith, your question. In 1974, Helen Worth
0:03:22 > 0:03:25joined the cast of Coronation Street, playing which character?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm an EastEnders person, I'm not a Coronation Street person.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I don't think Gail has been there...
0:03:33 > 0:03:361974, um, that long.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I think...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm going to plump for Rita.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Rita is your answer? - Rita.- Rita Fairclough.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Who played Rita, Eggheads?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Uh, what's her name?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Barbara Knox. - Barbara Knox. Brilliantly done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51No, it was Gail, Judith.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, I thought she was quite recent.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK, Alex, your question.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57This is a good start for your team.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Which American actress played Anna McDoogles,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04opposite Ricky Gervais, in the 2009 film, The Invention Of Lying?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I've got a feeling it's Jennifer Aniston,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13but that feels a bit obvious, for some reason.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'll go for it, I'll say Jennifer Aniston.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's not Jennifer Aniston. In fact, this name came up
0:04:19 > 0:04:21as an answer to another question, didn't it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Jennifer Garner is the name. - Oh, right.- Married to?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25That was the question.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Ben Affleck.- Ben Affleck! Well done, Judith. Where did that come from?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, the other day, it came from.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32LAUGHTER
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Here is your question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38The British Board of Film Classification was established
0:04:38 > 0:04:41as the British Board of Film Censors in which year?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I don't think there were many films about in 1912.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I should think it's probably the '30s.
0:04:54 > 0:04:561932.
0:04:56 > 0:04:581932 is the wrong answer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- 1912 is the right answer, Judith. - Really? Golly.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Yes, indeed, you're not even off the blocks yet, are you?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- No, I'm not, Jeremy. Thank you for telling me!- Well, that's OK.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, Alex, if you get this answer right
0:05:10 > 0:05:12you're in the final, no two ways about it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Oh, pressure.- Yep. Here we go.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Who voiced the character Victor Quartermain
0:05:16 > 0:05:19in the Wallace and Gromit film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27For some reason, I want to say Ralph Fiennes,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and I've got no idea at all,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32so I'll go for Ralph Fiennes and hope it's right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Your answer is Ralph Fiennes. Eggheads, you're laughing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Yeah, she's right.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39You're right, Alex, well done. Ralph Fiennes is the right answer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Judith, you've been knocked out.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Alex will be in the final and you won't. Please rejoin your teams.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55The Eggheads have lost one brain. Well done. So far it's going well.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57The next subject is History.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Now, which of you wants History?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- I think Tom?- Tom's probably going to be the best, doing A-level history.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Tom? A-level history?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- We're reaching back that far? - Yeah, a few years ago for me.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Who would you like to take on from the Eggheads? It can't be Judith.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Chris?- Anyone you prefer, Tom? - I think I'll go against Chris.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK, so Tom from Steel City Students against Chris on History.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- How does that feel?- All right, if it's sort of Fred Dibnah-type stuff.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23THEY LAUGH
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- I'm all right with that. - Chris against Tom.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29So there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32So, History. Three questions, multiple-choice,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and you can choose, Tom, whether you go first or second.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I think I'll go first, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Here we go. Good luck, Tom. The Triple Alliance formed in 1882
0:06:44 > 0:06:46was an agreement between Austria, Hungary,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Germany and which other country?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I think...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I did actually study this back a few years,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00but my memory is getting a bit hazy in my old age,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01but, um...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I think...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It might be Italy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I'm not sure, though. I'll go for Italy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Italy's the right answer.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Well done. Chris, your question.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15During which millennium were the pyramids at Giza constructed?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Well, First Millennium AD's too late. That's into the Christian era.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28First Millennium BC, I think is too late.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29So they're...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, Cheops, Third Millennium BC.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37If you haven't got it right, you've missed by at least 1,000 years.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Yeah.- But you're right. Third Millennium BC is correct.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42OK, Tom, your question.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Henry Tudor, who became King Henry VII,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48was born in which part of the British Isles?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I have not the foggiest idea, to be honest.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's going to have to be a complete guess.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01So I will go for Scotland.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Scotland is the wrong answer.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The answer is Wales.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Chris, which part of a mediaeval soldier's equipment was a halburk?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18A chain mail tunic, surely, was a surcoat,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19so it's a steel helmet.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Said with great certainty, but you're wrong.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was the chain mail tunic.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Surcoat's the cloth that goes over it, course it is.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28- Is that right, Barry?- Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Surcoat is the cloth, halburk is the chain mail, so you're wrong, Chris.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Back to you, Tom. Same number of points,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36third question. Here we go.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Laws passed in England in the 14th century
0:08:39 > 0:08:44in order to limit the Pope's power over ecclesiastical appointments
0:08:44 > 0:08:47were known as the Statutes of what?
0:08:52 > 0:08:5614th-Century history is not really my specialist subject.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03will have to go for protectors, just on a whim.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Protectors is wrong.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Provisors is the right answer. Provisors.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So get this right, Chris, you're in the final.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Which country became an independent principality
0:09:15 > 0:09:18within the Holy Roman Empire during the 18th century?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Well, Monaco's been the Grimaldis' since the 13th century,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27so it's not Monaco.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think Andorra is a co-principality
0:09:32 > 0:09:36between the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39so I don't think it's Andorra.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I think it's Lichtenstein,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43biggest producer of false teeth in the world.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Is that right?- Yes.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Lichtenstein is correct. Chris, you've taken the round.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Sorry, Tom, you got knocked out
0:09:50 > 0:09:52by an Egghead on pretty good form there
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and won't be in the final round, Chris will.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Please both of you come back to us, and we'll play the next round.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02So, as it stands, the challengers have lost a brain.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The Eggheads have also lost a brain from the final round.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Our next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Students, I'm thinking that's good,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12cos you spend a lot of time reading.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- No!- Oh, God.- We're supposed to spend a lot of time...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I think you're quite good at Arts & Books.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah, I think you'd be better than me.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Oh, no.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I'll take one for the team, then.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26THEY LAUGH
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- I'll try my hardest. - OK, Hannah on Arts & Books.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Which Egghead do you fancy? - It's up to you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Not Daphne, cos I bet Daphne's good at Arts & Books, so...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I think I'll take Pat, please.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, so Hannah from Steel City Students against Pat.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43He's been quiet. Not sure what's going on in that huge brain.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Against Pat from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Hannah, you want to be a town planner?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yes, hopefully. That's the plan.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Is that what you're studying?- I am, yes. Town and regional planning.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Does that mean you will actually look at a blank sheet of paper
0:11:02 > 0:11:04and then draw a town?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07No, that's definitely not what that means.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10You get a map and someone will come to you
0:11:10 > 0:11:14with a building they want to place and where, and you say, "Yes, you can put it there,"
0:11:14 > 0:11:17or "No, you can't put it there," and, yeah, stuff like that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19So it's regulations and all that?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yeah, regulations and policies and stuff like that, yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24And you hope to end up working abroad?
0:11:24 > 0:11:29England I think's had enough town planning for one period.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Hopefully, I'll go abroad and make a difference somewhere else,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35where they need someone to sort them out a bit.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Arts & Books. Three questions, multiple choice
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and whoever wins the round goes through to the final.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43You can choose the first or second set of questions, Hannah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44I'll go first, please.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47OK, Hannah, good luck.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Here's your first question. What was the title
0:11:50 > 0:11:55of Stephanie Meyer's first published sequel to her novel, Twilight?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think I know this one.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02I think, hopefully.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I've read the series,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08and after her first book, Twilight, came New Moon.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11New Moon is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Pat, your question.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The book subtitled First Step To Forever: My Story
0:12:17 > 0:12:19is the first book by which pop star?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Let me see, Miley is the singer on telly,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30personality from Tennessee, I think.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Joe McElderry is from South Shields
0:12:33 > 0:12:37and did well in a talent contest.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think this book
0:12:39 > 0:12:41is by Justin Bieber,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44who became very famous very quickly,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47so I think it's a very early block of memoirs
0:12:47 > 0:12:50from Justin Bieber. I hope I'm right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Justin Bieber is the right answer. Anyone here into Justin Bieber?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55That's really uncool, isn't it?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57It's for children, really, is it?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Just a bit younger than us, younger teenagers.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Similar age to him.- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04He sings and plays piano, does he?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Or not even that.- Sings and dances and does all sorts, I think!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK. Your question, Hannah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Which artist, who died in 1920, was noted for his portraits
0:13:13 > 0:13:17depicting people with mask-like faces and elongated figures?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I have absolutely no idea.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Art is not my strong point at all.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm a more books type of person,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33but if I had to take a stab in the dark,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35the only one I've really heard of
0:13:35 > 0:13:37is Mondrian?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Mondrian is wrong.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- It's actually Modigliani.- OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Pat, your question.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46How many people are depicted in the diner
0:13:46 > 0:13:48in Edward Hopper's painting Nighthawks?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51I've seen the painting.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's an iconic American image.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58It's fairly sparse, so I think I can dismiss 12 straight away.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I think there is a couple of men,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04no, a woman and a man leaning up against a brightly illuminated bar,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and I think there's a member of staff, so there's at least three.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I don't think I can find another four humans,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15to get me all the way to seven, so I think it must be four people.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Four is correct. Nicely done, you're right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Over to you, Hannah.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22You need to get this one right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27The actress Maud Gonne inspired many poems by which writer?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Again, I'm not, I'm not too sure.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I don't think it's Algernon Swinburne.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'm not sure, it just doesn't sound right,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49and WB Yeats also doesn't sound right either,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52so I'm going to go for Rupert Brooke?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Rupert Brooke is the wrong answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It is WB Yeats.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Yeah, she kind of spurned him, and in spurning him
0:14:59 > 0:15:02caused him to write some of his best poetry,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05so I think she strangely did us all a rather cruel service.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Pat, you are in the final,
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Hannah, you're not.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16The Challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21The last subject is Geography. Geography...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Any good?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Do you want me to do this?- Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Daphne's good at Geography.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30THEY LAUGH
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Take Barry.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Against Barry, then.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37So it's Helena from the Steel City Students against Barry on Geography.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:15:40 > 0:15:41in the Question Room.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Good luck, you're against Barry, it's Geography.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Helena, first or second set?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'll go first, please.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Helena, your question.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57The Lake District is in which county?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think I know this one,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05because Derbyshire is quite close to Sheffield
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and the Lake District isn't in Derbyshire.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I don't think it's in North Yorkshire, either.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And I've been to the Lake District, so I'll go with Cumbria, please.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Nicely done, Cumbria is correct.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Barry...
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Which Asian capital city is situated on the island of Luzan?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Luzan is one of the islands in the Philippines
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and the capital of the Philippines is Manila. That's my answer.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Manila is correct.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Back to you, Helena.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36The Kara Sea is part of which ocean?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I can't say I've heard of this ocean, Jeremy.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Erm, I wouldn't think it was in the Arctic.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I think I would have heard of it if it was in the Atlantic.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So I'll go for Pacific.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55That should work for you normally, because the Eggheads have a rule,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58if in doubt, you go Pacific.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Unfortunately, it's wrong.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- The answer is Arctic.- Oh!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The Kara Sea is just part of it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Near Russia?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It's to the east of Novaya Zemlya and west of the Yamal Peninsula.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12How do you know that?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I was reading about oil exploration.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Does that come up at dinner parties?- No.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19This is the time it will ever come up in my life.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I had to take my chance!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24OK. Barry, your question.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27How many stars appear on the flag of Honduras?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Ah...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Gosh! I'm normally very good on flags.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I can't quite remember this one.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Is it one, three or five?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I don't think it's one. I don't think it's one with a single star.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49One, two, there could be five, five in a shape of a H for Honduras.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Is that the flag?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54HE SIGHS
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'm really at sixes and sevens here.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm going to say, five.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Five is the right answer, not six or seven.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Helena...
0:18:05 > 0:18:09You need to get this one right, otherwise you'll be knocked out.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Which seaside resort is at the northern end
0:18:13 > 0:18:15of a nature reserve called Gibraltar Point?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I have to say I'm not very clued up with my UK seaside towns.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Erm...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'll have to think about this one.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'm not entirely sure.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'll go with Skegness.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Skegness, let's just check. Hannah knows this.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Is she right?- Yes, my grandma has a caravan there.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Your grandma has a caravan there. - Near Skegness.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Say, "hello" to grandma.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51THEY LAUGH
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Skegness is the right answer. Well done. You're still in it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Can Barry take the round?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Here's your question. What is the only South American capital city
0:19:00 > 0:19:04to lie within ten miles of the Pacific Ocean, Barry?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13It can't be Buenos Aires, because that's on the Atlantic
0:19:13 > 0:19:16and so is Caracas. I've been to Lima
0:19:16 > 0:19:21on that was almost on the Pacific Coast. The answer is Lima.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You've got it in one, Lima is the right answer, Barry.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28You have triumphed on Geography this time
0:19:28 > 0:19:29and you're in the final round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Helena, sorry, he's knocked you out. Do both of you come back
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and rejoin your teams.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:44 > 0:19:46can't take part in this round.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Hannah, Helena and Tom from the Steel City Students,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and also Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Good luck, you're playing to win
0:19:57 > 0:20:01the Steel City Students £12,000.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Work out later how you divide it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09you are playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16This time, the questions are all general knowledge. You can confer.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19So Steel City Students are your two brains
0:20:19 > 0:20:22better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Would you like to go first or second?- I think we'll go second,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29because the other ones didn't work out. We'll go different this time.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Let's see if the Eggheads are thrown by that.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Your first question, what word for a type of soldier
0:20:39 > 0:20:43can also mean, "to force by oppressive measures?"
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Dragoon.- Mm-hm.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51That would be Dragoon.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Dragoon is the right answer. To dragoon...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56First question for
0:20:56 > 0:20:57the Steel City Students.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00What word is used to describe the type of body construction
0:21:00 > 0:21:02used for Formula 1 cars?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It should be my subject, I'm interested in cars.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Erm...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'd say...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Monocoque... Mono, would be to do with it's got one piece.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Yes, the others sound a lot more...
0:21:22 > 0:21:27I think they've all got that theme on them, haven't they? That's true.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28THEY LAUGH
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Erm... I mean, coque because cockpit, it's got that shape to it.- Yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38Solosleeve doesn't sound technical enough to me.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42What do you want to do? Do you think, go with our instincts?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yeah, go with our instincts, your instincts.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Can we go for Monocoque, please?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Nicely done, it's right. Monocoque is the right answer.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55So, Eggheads, one each.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Back to you. Which amendment to the US Constitution,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04refers to the right of the people to keep and bear arms?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- Second.- Second.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- The second?- Second.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- That's the second. - Second Amendment? You're right!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Next question for the Steel City Students.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22Kate Middleton attended which public school, prior to university?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28It's Marlborough, I think.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I'm not too sure with this one, go with yours.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Go for Marlborough. I'm a bit of a fan.- OK.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Alex seems to know, Marlborough. - I'll be embarrassed if it's wrong.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- It's the right answer.- Oh, good. - Marlborough College, well done.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Two each.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48This is getting interesting. Next question is for the Eggheads.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53What name did Roger Fry give to the collective of young artists
0:22:53 > 0:22:56he assembled in Fitzroy Square, in London, in 1913?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03- Omega Workshops.- Omega?- Definitely.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06That was the Omega Workshops.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- The Omega Workshops? You sound certain, as well.- Yes.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And you're right, Omega is the right answer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15So you need this one,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18otherwise it's over. Here's your third question, team.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Which political philosopher is famous for his articulation
0:23:22 > 0:23:25of the Theory Of Separation Of Powers
0:23:25 > 0:23:29in the 1748 work, De L'Esprit De Lois?
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Oh, I did the Separation Of Powers last year, so I should know this.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Politics isn't our strongest subject, really.- No.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Montesquieu is sticking out to me, I remember reading that name.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- OK, do you know anything about the other two?- No, nothing.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Montesquieu is definitely sticking out to me.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Equally embarrassing if I get this wrong again.- OK.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- I think we'll go for that. - Can we go for Montesquieu, please?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Montesquieu. This is a bit like the Kate Middleton one, you studied it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Yeah! It sounds awful when I say that and I'm not sure.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10These questions are breaking well for you. It's right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Well done, it was Montesquieu. Well done. Well done, Alex.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It's Sudden Death now. I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It gets a bit harder, you've got to give me the answer, OK?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Here's your question, Eggheads? Which city in New Zealand
0:24:24 > 0:24:27hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1950 and 1990?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Was it Christchurch? - Go to the big ones, Christchurch,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Dunedin, Auckland and Wellington.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Auckland rings a bell.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I thought it was Christchurch.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Isn't it awful? Things we ought to know immediately.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I'm split between Auckland and Christchurch.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I think it's Christchurch.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- You do?- Yes.- What does Pat think?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57My first thought was Auckland. Christchurch rings a bell, as well.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59That's not very useful, really.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Christchurch.- OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- We're having a... - Maybe Christchurch.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07We're both heading towards Christchurch.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12Having a very off day, but we're going for Christchurch.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15You say, "Christchurch?"
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Who thought Auckland?- I did. - I did, as well.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yeah, you're right, it's Auckland.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25It's Auckland, somehow Christchurch was thrown in.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Oh!- It's Auckland.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Listen, this doesn't often happen.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34A hairline crack is opening up. You have to take advantage of this.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37£12,000 on the table, if you get this answer right
0:25:37 > 0:25:39and you will have beaten the Eggheads.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Henri Dunant, whose campaigning led to the foundation of the Red Cross,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48was born in which country in 1828?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- OK.- It sounds very French to me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- The name doesn't always mean everything.- Not at all.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Erm...- Have you got any other ideas?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- I think do we go with France?- That's what came to mind. I don't know why.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I'm trying to think origins of the Red Cross.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Probably one of our colleagues would know.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- The British Red Cross but it has different branches.- Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- That's no help.- Erm...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- I think we may have to go for it. - We've not got any other idea.- No.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- Have you got any other clue?- No.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21That's just a random guess.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Stick with France. I don't think it's Argentina.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29OK... Can we go with France, please?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You're saying France, OK. I'm thinking that the Red Cross,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- the clue's in the flag.- It is.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Oh, no!- Switzerland.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41That was the one to get right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Right, concentrate.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Eggheads, what was the first name of the explorer
0:26:46 > 0:26:50with the surname Lewis, whose expedition with William Clark
0:26:50 > 0:26:54crossed the Rocky Mountains in the early 19th century?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- It's Meriwether. - Meriwether Lewis, yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It's Meriwether.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Meriwether is the right answer.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04If you get this one wrong the contest is over.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08In 1977, Kevin Keegan moved from Liverpool Football Club
0:27:08 > 0:27:10to which German club?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Think of German football clubs.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Tom would know this one.- Definitely.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Football is definitely not my sport.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20It's going to be stronger than me, have you got any idea?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- This is horrible.- Just think. German football clubs.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28As if we don't know German football clubs.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's probably moving from Liverpool,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Liverpool's quite a good team.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Munich are a good team, aren't they? - Munich?- She says.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We'll go with that, then.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Can we go for Munich, please?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Munich is your answer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49The answer is Hamburg.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51THEY GROAN
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Sorry.- That's OK. - You got it wrong.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I was just willing you to get Switzerland. That was the one.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We should have thought of the flag.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- It's the flag, it's the red cross and all that.- Awful.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Not at all awful. It's very difficult.- Under pressure.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Under a lot of pressure and Dunant and all that stuff.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Wipe that name out of your minds now.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
