0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30try to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:38 > 0:00:43are Beat IT. This team of IT professionals work closely together
0:00:43 > 0:00:47on projects for the city of Liverpool. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's Alan. I'm 54 and I'm an IT project manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55I'm Richard, I'm 50. I'm a service design and strategy manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Graham, I'm 48 and I'm a senior IT project manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Colin, I'm 44 and I'm an ICT development manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Derek, I'm 51. I'm a senior ICT project manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13- Alan and team, welcome.- Thank you. - So, IT professionals, you're doing all different kinds of computing?
0:01:13 > 0:01:19We mainly work on information technology projects, some complex and some not so complex.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- How long have you been doing IT? - I've been with the council for 25 years.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I've been in IT since 1974.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I thought there wasn't any IT in 1974?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- There was in the health service. - A computer?- A massive, big computer.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- So it filled the room and it just stored one phone number on it or something?- Exactly right.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45And so now the phones that we've got are as powerful as that computer?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- More powerful. - Incredible, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Do you quiz together?- Sort of. We have work quizzes from time to time.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Richard here has been a quizmaster on a couple of them, but mainly informal things at Christmas.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03We did run a Mastermind at one time which is where we got the idea to enter Eggheads.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09I'm glad you made it here. Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17So, Beat IT, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games
0:02:17 > 0:02:21which means £13,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Quite a hefty jackpot. Shall we start?- Certainly.- You want to try?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Who would like this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- That's you, Graham.- You go for that. - Go for that, mate.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39You want me to do that? OK, I'll do that one.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44OK, Graham on Politics. Which Egghead would you like? You can choose any one of them.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I'll have...Judith.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- You were chosen first last time. - Yes.- What's happening?- I don't know.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- You're obviously the most alluring one today.- Or the worst.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00So Graham from Beat IT versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11- So, Graham, Politics, is this a good subject for you?- Not really, Jeremy. My main subject was actually Sport.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15But I've been designated as Politics for my second subject.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'll just have to see how I go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Politics.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins and goes through to the final.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Graham, choose the first or second set of questions.- Can I go first?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You can and here is your question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40In 1989, Kate Hoey became an MP representing which party?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Kate Hoey...
0:03:49 > 0:03:54I think Kate Hoey was... Was she Minister for Sport at some stage?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I think...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02In '89. Kate Hoey... I'm struggling on this one.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Not Liberal Democrat. It's either Conservative or Labour.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Kate Hoey, I would say...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'89. I would say Labour.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Well done. Labour is the right answer, Graham.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Judith, your question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The distance between the benches of the House of Commons
0:04:24 > 0:04:27is supposed to be equal to the length of what?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I'm trying to think.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'm inclined towards "two swords".
0:04:38 > 0:04:41But it could equally be two strides.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I'll say "two swords" and hope that it's something romantic like that.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50It is something romantic like that. "Two swords" is right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Graham, the organisation known by the acronym EOKA was founded in which country?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- EOAK?- EOKA.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, again I'm struggling on this one.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10EOKA. European...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13EOKA.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18I'm guessing that the "A" could be Algeria.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'll eliminate Cyprus and Lebanon and go for Algeria.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Algeria is wrong. It's Cyprus. Anyone know what it stands for?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32The K is probably Kypros which is Cyprus.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Or Kyprion, I think.- It's an organisation of Greek fighters.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Or Cypriot fighters.- Right.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Judith, your question.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47When Margaret Thatcher said there would be no woman Prime Minister in her lifetime,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51she was being interviewed on which children's TV programme?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Oh, God, I've no idea!
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I know there was a programme called Ask Aspel.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Val must refer to Val Singleton who used to present Blue Peter.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I really don't know.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I'm just wondering whether Ask Aspel is the only programme
0:06:21 > 0:06:26that did exist in that line-up and the others are inventions.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I think I'm going to...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'm going to do Ask Aspel.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- No, it's wrong. It's Val Meets The VIPs.- You know, I wondered.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I'm glad you wondered. I didn't want you to exhaust yourself.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Graham, back to the present.
0:06:42 > 0:06:49Who carried out the destruction of the house in which Tsar Nicholas II and his family were murdered?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Hmm.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Obviously, all Russian.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin...
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I mean, Gorbachev was the one who sort of instigated change,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14so I would be inclined to go with Gorbachev.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Gorbachev is wrong, actually. It was Boris Yeltsin.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Judith, if you get this one right, you're in the final round.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29What name was given to the peaceful independence movement which began in Estonia in the late 1980s?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41I don't think I've ever heard about a revolution in Estonia.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I don't know. I'm going to say the Singing Revolution.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50The Singing Revolution is the right answer. You've taken the round.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Graham, sorry.- Never mind.- She just pipped you at the post there.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00So she will be in the final. Graham, you won't be. Please, both of you, come back and join your teams.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07So the challengers have lost one brain from the final round while the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The next subject for you is Music. Feels good? Music? No?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- That's me, isn't it?- That's you, Alan.- That's me, Jeremy.- OK.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20So, Alan against who? Which Egghead is looking non-musical?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It can't be Judith.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I'll take Chris if that's OK. - Chris again on Music!
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Not so bad.- Music and Sport... - At least it's not Sport. - Exactly. It's not Sport.
0:08:32 > 0:08:39Chris on Not Sport from the Eggheads against Alan from Beat IT. Please go to the question room now.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Is there something about Music, Chris? You just keep getting it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Well, yeah, I don't mind. The stuff I grew up with and classical music, I'm OK with.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- What's your favourite period? - I suppose the '60s. I preferred The Beatles to The Stones.- Right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Alan, do you agree with any of that?
0:08:57 > 0:09:03I'm not very keen on the classics, but I do like the '60s and '70s music, and '80s as well.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I was brought up on The Beatles.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11I was a bit too young to have seen them live, but they're still my favourite band.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Good luck in this round. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- Alan, choose the first or second set.- Can I have the second set?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Here we go. First question, Chris.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Which band sang the official 2010 Children In Need single, Love You More?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37HE SIGHS Now, then...
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Westlife are a boy band, so are McFly, so are JLS.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44That's not getting us anywhere.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49It sounds like some saccharine thing Westlife would come out with,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51so I'm going to go for Westlife.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- No, it's JLS.- Is it indeed? - How about that, Alan?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You're already ahead.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Who performed the Oscar-winning song Into The West on the soundtrack
0:10:01 > 0:10:04of The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I don't think it's the type of song that Debbie Harry would sing
0:10:14 > 0:10:17and Chrissie Hynde is more of a rocky type singer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I think it's the type of thing I can see Annie Lennox singing,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23so I'll go for Annie Lennox.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Annie Lennox is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:29 > 0:10:36Chris, the Duke of Plaza Toro is a character in which Gilbert and Sullivan work?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43He's that celebrated, underrated nobleman,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46the Duke of Plaza Toro in The Gondoliers.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49The Gondoliers is the right answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Alan, over to you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Which word described The Alex Harvey Band in the full name of the 1970s group?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I'm pretty sure it's not Unbelievable or Amazing,
0:11:05 > 0:11:11so I'm going to go straight down the middle and go with Sensational.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15The Sensational Alex Harvey Band is the right answer, so you're ahead.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19And, Chris, you need to catch up here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25It's two points to our challenger, one point to you. If you get this one wrong, you're a goner.
0:11:25 > 0:11:33The name of which toy formed the title of the UK's 1971 Eurovision Song Contest entry?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- It was Jack In The Box. - Where did you get that from?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- The depths of the swamp that passes for my mind.- Just popped out?- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Jack In The Box is right. But if you get this, Alan, you take the round.
0:11:55 > 0:12:01The skull of which composer was stolen in order to be studied by a phrenologist
0:12:01 > 0:12:06and not reunited with the rest of his body until 1954?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17That's a tough one. I've no idea what the answer might be, Jeremy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I don't think it's Haydn.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25I don't think Haydn or Liszt are famous enough to justify that,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28so I'll go down the middle again with Beethoven.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Let's see if our Eggheads know. Beethoven?- Haydn, I think.- Haydn.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Somebody nicked his skull to look at it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yeah, as simple as that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Alan, it was Haydn, so you're equal after three questions.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45We go to Sudden Death. I don't give you alternative options.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- I don't know why I'm telling you. - I've been at this game a wee while!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I want the answer from you this time.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Sudden Death. Which singer had Top Five singles in the UK
0:12:56 > 0:13:00with That Ole Devil Called Love and Is This Love?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06That Ole Devil Called Love... Dinah Washington.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- No, Alison Moyet.- Oh, yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12If you get this, Alan, you're in the final round.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18Which Canadian-born singer's albums include It's Time, Call Me Irresponsible and Crazy Love?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Is it Michael Buble?
0:13:24 > 0:13:30Michael Buble is right. Well done. You have defeated Chris and you will be in the final round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32So, fortunes are turning.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38Chris, you've been knocked out. Please come back here and rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Great stuff, Alan.- Thank you. - The captain led by example.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- And you are in the final. - More by luck than judgment.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54but the Eggheads have lost a brain as well. It's getting interesting.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59The next subject is Sport. Who would like Sport?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I wouldn't want to have a go on that one.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I think Richard. - Richard, Colin or Derek.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Do you think Richard? I'd say Richard.- Do you want me to go? - Yeah.- It's between you two.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- I'd say you. - I'll go for this one, Jeremy.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19And you can have the very sporting Kevin or the sporting Pat or the sporting Barry.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Who to choose?- Barry?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I'll take Barry, please, Jeremy. - OK.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30So Richard against Barry. A bit of trepidation there?
0:14:30 > 0:14:36- No, I like sport now. - Now? Something's happened? - I've done some reading on it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41OK, to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Richard, would you like the first or second set?
0:14:45 > 0:14:51Given that the captain went second and was successful, I'll ask whether I can go second as well, please.
0:14:54 > 0:15:01So here we go. First question to Barry. The England footballer Bryan Robson played for which club
0:15:01 > 0:15:03from 1981 to 1994?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13As soon as you said Bryan Robson, Manchester United came to mind.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Manchester United is the right answer, Barry. Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Richard, which racing event, first held in 1902,
0:15:21 > 0:15:26was cancelled in 2001 due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oh.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Not being a real horse racing fan, they're all horse racing courses.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I don't recall it being Royal Ascot.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Goodwood... I'm really not sure.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53I'm going to go with the popular route of straight down the middle
0:15:53 > 0:15:57and aim for the Cheltenham Festival.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Do your team-mates know? Is he right?- I think he is.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05You are right, Richard. Nicely done. Cheltenham Festival.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Barry, your second question.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11In which country was the tennis player David Ferrer born?
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Could you spell that name, please? - F-E-R-R-E-R.
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Ferrer. I'm not sure of this, but it doesn't sound Italian or Spanish.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I shall say Switzerland.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- I think it sounds a bit Spanish. He was from Spain.- Oh.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- What does Ferrer mean? - Linguistically, it's to do with iron
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- so it's probably a smith.- Yeah, it could be the equivalent of a smith.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Iron smith.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48OK, Richard, from 2005 to 2007,
0:16:48 > 0:16:54Andy Priaulx was world champion in which form of motorsport?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03P-R-I-A-U-L-X. Priaulx.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Em...
0:17:10 > 0:17:15I haven't heard the name before, so it's a one in three chance.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'll take a stab at touring cars.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26I just knew you'd get that right. Touring cars is the right answer. I don't know how I knew that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28OK, Barry.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32So you've got one wrong. If you get this one wrong, you're out.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38Black Rock, the Monk and the Fox are holes at which Scottish golf venue?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I've never heard of any of those. I know some of the holes at Troon.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50The Postage Stamp is at Troon.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57I'm not sure of any at the other two. Well, the Ryder Cup's at Gleneagles in 2014.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01So I'll have a shot at Gleneagles on that basis.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- OK. Anybody here know? - Possibly Gleneagles.- Richard?
0:18:05 > 0:18:12Only on the ground that Troon is classed as a royal golf course, I'd maybe have gone for Troon.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I think you're a quizzer. Troon is the right answer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Barry, you've been knocked out. Very well played, Richard.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26You will be in the final round. Please both of you come back and rejoin us here.
0:18:27 > 0:18:35So the challengers have lost one brain, while the Eggheads have lost two. It's looking better.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40The last subject before the final is Science. Who would like
0:18:40 > 0:18:42to take Science?
0:18:42 > 0:18:49- Derek or Colin? - I don't think Derek fancies it, so by default that's me!
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- OK, Colin. Who would you like? You can take Pat or Kevin. - Oh, great(!)
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- What a choice.- Pat.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02- I'll take Pat, please. - OK, Colin from Beat IT against Pat.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- Fellow IT professional, I think. - Yes, you are right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13And the subject is Science. This could be a good round. Please go to your Question Rooms.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17So two IT professionals. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Colin, you can choose first or second.- It's worked so far by going second,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26so I think I'll stick with that ploy, please.
0:19:28 > 0:19:35OK, Pat, here we go. What is the name of the projection at the tip of a young bird's beak,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37used to break open the eggshell?
0:19:43 > 0:19:49Er...it's a major task for the chick to escape from a substantial egg.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- I think it's an egg tooth. - Egg tooth is the right answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So, Colin,
0:19:56 > 0:20:01the magnetron is a major component of which household appliance?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11I don't think it's the vacuum cleaner.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Magnetron sounds magnetic, magnetic coil.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Which leaves me with television and microwave.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22If I was to have a guess, I'd say microwave.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Microwave is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Pat,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33what is the name of the rough skin of some sharks used as an abrasive?
0:20:39 > 0:20:46I haven't... There was a tradition of using it to make instrument cases,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48coloured green.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54Let me just check... Isinglass comes from innards of fish.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Ambergris comes from the sperm whale for the perfume industry.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So it's shagreen, from sharks.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Shagreen is the right answer. You do know an awful lot.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Ah, shagreen.- You ran through the other two as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13They could have been made up. Wow.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19OK, Colin, your question. What type of creature is the endangered Tana River mangabey?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25OK...
0:21:25 > 0:21:31It doesn't sound like a primate if it's connected with a river.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34That leaves bird or reptile.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It sounds to me like a bird. I'll stick with bird.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43It's a nice guess, but it's wrong. Primate is the answer. The one you ruled out.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Bird is often correct because there are so many kinds.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Pat, get this to take the round. The superior rectus muscle
0:21:51 > 0:21:56is one of a set of muscles that control which part of the body?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Hmm.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04We've got hundreds of muscles.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10We've got over 200 bones and hundreds of muscles to move them around.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15I can't even begin. I don't know any of the names of the foot muscles.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17There must be loads.
0:22:17 > 0:22:25The eye, eyeball, has an entire set of muscles to enable it to swivel in all directions.
0:22:25 > 0:22:32And I think of those three it's the most tempting option, so I'll go for eyeball.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36You've done very well. Eyeball is the right answer.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38No way back for you, Colin.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44You won't be in the final. Pat will. Both please come back and rejoin us here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51So this is what we have been playing towards. It is the final round, which is on general knowledge.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But those of you who lost
0:22:53 > 0:22:58won't be allowed to take part, so Graham and Colin from Beat IT
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and Chris and Barry, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Alan, Richard and Derek, you're playing to win £13,000.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Pat, Judith and Kevin are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:14 > 0:23:21I will ask each team three questions in turn. They are all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26So, Beat IT, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:26 > 0:23:32- First or second?- Go second? - Second, I think.- Second, please.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Here we go. £13,000 to play for. Eggheads with the first question.
0:23:39 > 0:23:46In which 2009 film did George Clooney play corporate downsizer Ryan Bingham?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- It's Up In The Air.- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Very good film. Up In The Air.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Up In The Air is the right answer.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Good, is it?- Yes.- Very. - Very? Really?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Your question.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Who had a UK hit single in 1978 with Floral Dance?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Terry Wogan.- It's Terry Wogan. Yeah, definitely Terry Wogan.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- It was Terry Wogan. - That's the right answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Well done. My Radio Two colleague.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27He'll be very pleased.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33OK, your question, Eggheads. Jane Smiley's 1991 novel A Thousand Acres
0:24:33 > 0:24:37is a modern retelling of which Shakespeare work?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- King Lear.- Is it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It's set on an American farm with three daughters.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Three daughters?- OK?- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55It's King Lear, Jeremy.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00You've got it. Well done. Keep at them!
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Who is the first god mentioned by name
0:25:05 > 0:25:08in the classic Hippocratic Oath?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I don't know...
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Zeus...- Apollo's war, isn't he?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Eros is love?- Eros is love. - And Zeus was the king...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- He was the top.- The top one.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- The Hippocratic Oath.- What is it?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- The royal one?- No, doctors.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath. It was Greek.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Which one of those is a Greek god?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Eros isn't a Greek god, is he?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Zeus is a Greek god.- The top one.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I think it's Apollo.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- Are you confident?- No.- Is Zeus Roman?- I'm trying to work it out.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03- Zeus was a Greek god. - He's in the halls. - He's in Clash of the Titans.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- What was Apollo? A messenger? - He was a runner, wasn't he?
0:26:07 > 0:26:12If it was written by a Greek, Hippocrates,
0:26:12 > 0:26:18he'll be mentioning...a Greek god and the top god of the time is Zeus.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We've done well down the middle.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23We're not really sure here.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28We'll go down the middle. But we think Hippocrates was Greek
0:26:28 > 0:26:33and Zeus was the top god at the time!
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- So I think we'll go with Zeus. - Zeus. Let's ask the Eggheads.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Apollo.- Sorry, you're wrong.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Apollo is the answer.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I hope that's not too expensive.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Third question, Eggheads. Get this right to take the contest.
0:26:50 > 0:26:57In the 17th century, Andre Le Notre was famous in which field?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Gardening.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Landscape gardening. - The Versailles chap?- Exactly.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11He was famous as a landscape gardener. He designed Versailles.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15If you've got this one right, the contest is over.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Andre Le Notre... was famous for landscape gardening.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Congratulations. You have won.
0:27:28 > 0:27:36The trouble with them going first in the final is if they do three in a row, you don't get your third.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43- Judith, you knew landscape gardening.- Yeah. - You're familiar with his designs?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Yes, absolutely. He did Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51He was the great landscape gardener of the day.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57To go out on a landscape gardener is annoying, but thank you very much for coming in. Great to meet you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Their winning streak continues.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09You won't be going home with £13,000 so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can defeat them.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21£14,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
