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 challengers

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

0:00:30 > 0:00:34They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

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

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Taking on our quiz champions today are:

0:00:40 > 0:00:43This quintet features two sets of old school friends,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46brought together by a shared love of quizzing,

0:00:46 > 0:00:50and now test their brain power at least once a week at various pubs in London.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Naomi, I'm 29. I'm head of public affairs for a charity.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, my name's Roshni, I'm 28 and I'm a women's-wear buyer.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, my name's Tim, I'm 29 and I'm a coordinator.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Vinny, I'm 29 and I'm a mobile services manager.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09My name's Tim, I'm 27 and I'm a maths teacher.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Naomi and team, welcome. Great to see you.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Team Whatever, why Whatever?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17It was a name we came up with because it's a word we all use a lot.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20This is something that means

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- "Forget it. Not interested!" - I think that's right.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Any of you say that? No, you don't, do you?- I do!

0:01:28 > 0:01:30You then truncate it to "whatev".

0:01:30 > 0:01:33It's just easier, because we're very lazy, as well.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Research says that kids, even younger than you, say "meh".

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I've used that for ages.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44- You're down with the kids, CJ! - I've heard Lisa Simpson using it in The Simpsons.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Meh.- Meh!

0:01:46 > 0:01:48So if it all goes wrong this afternoon, just "Meh"!

0:01:48 > 0:01:53What do you think of that, Judith? I can sense disapproval of shortening words like that.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- No. Why not?- Would you say "meh"? - I will from now on.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59We believe you!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02You're aggressive quizzers, I gather.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Sometimes.- We like to think so.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, you go round pubs in London?

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Yes, we have a couple of favourites in our local area in north London,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13but we do try new ones now and then.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16OK, and strengths and weaknesses? No, don't say!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18You need to keep that secret. Good luck today.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31So, Team Whatever, the Eggheads have won the last 14 games,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34which means £15,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- How about that?- Sounds good.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Would you like to try? - Let's have a go.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42The first head-to-head is on Arts & Books.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Who wants this?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Is it Roshni?- Oh.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- I think it is. - Well, it's definitely not me!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Roshni. OK.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Is it you?- I suppose so!

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Against which Egghead? You can have any one of them.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02You compiled the dossier.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I'm not sure which one. Go for Pat.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- OK. Pat, please. - Roshni on Arts & Books.

0:03:08 > 0:03:13What happened to the dossier? It just seemed to evaporate, then?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Pat from the Eggheads. Arts & Books, Pat. How about that?- It's all right.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Sounds suitably threatening.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- So, Roshni, good luck.- Thank you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Tell me how Team Whatever got together.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Naomi and I went to school together

0:03:33 > 0:03:36and Tim and Vinny went to school together

0:03:36 > 0:03:39and Vinny and Tim went to university,

0:03:39 > 0:03:43and we all kind of met up in London and we enjoy quizzing.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Fantastic. OK. You're against Pat. Arts & Books.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50Three multiple choice questions. Choose the first or second set.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'd like to go first, please.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Good luck.

0:03:56 > 0:04:02In 2005, Lucian Freud's portrait of which model was sold for over £3 million?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08OK, art isn't my strongest subject,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11but I'm pretty sure I know this.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16I'm going to go with Kate Moss.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Nicely done. It is Kate Moss.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21All right, Pat, here's yours.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26Nicci Gerrard and Sean French became famous for writing novels together under what name?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I think they write very successful crime novels or thrillers

0:04:35 > 0:04:38and I think they write as Nicci French.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Nicci French is the right answer.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Over to you, Roshni. See if you can take a lead.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47"Ram's Head, White Hollyhock and Little Hills"

0:04:47 > 0:04:52is a work by US artist, born in 1887?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59OK, erm, like I said,

0:04:59 > 0:05:04art isn't my strongest subject, especially American artists.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Although I have heard of Georgia O'Keeffe

0:05:08 > 0:05:13and I know she does paintings of flowers, florals,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16so I don't think it's her.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20I think I'll go with Selma Burke.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Selma Burke is your answer. Pat, do you know this?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I would've gone for Georgia O'Keeffe.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Hollyhocks are flowers.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32She did lots of studies of desert cactus flower.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- He's right!- Oh, no!- How annoying!

0:05:35 > 0:05:38You almost had the clue there.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40- It is Georgia O'Keeffe. - Disappointing.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Pat can take the lead.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46The poem "When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd"

0:05:46 > 0:05:49was written after the assassination of which president?

0:05:53 > 0:05:57My first thought was Lincoln, but I'm troubled by the fact

0:05:57 > 0:06:00that we've got Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!"

0:06:00 > 0:06:03a famous poem written about Lincoln's assassination.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07It could've been written about Kennedy. Erm...

0:06:07 > 0:06:13I think I'm going to assume that two poets were moved to write

0:06:13 > 0:06:16because of the assassination of Lincoln.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Is the right answer. Lincoln. And it was Walt Whitman.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- So he wrote two poems.- He did!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- As astonishing as that may be! - He was a workaholic!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28That's a busy day for a poet!

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Roshni, your question. You need this one.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35What was the name of the leading Imagist poet

0:06:35 > 0:06:38who published using her initials of HD?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Right, erm,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47I did study English at university

0:06:47 > 0:06:52but we never covered Imagist poets.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any of them.

0:06:57 > 0:07:03Erm, I'm going to have to go with a guess again

0:07:03 > 0:07:06and go for...

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Erm, let's go for Harriet Dunlop.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15The correct answer is Hilda Doolittle.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Roshni, sorry. That's Pat's round.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22No way back for you. And you won't be in the final.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Pat will. But it's still early days.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Both of you, come back and we'll play on.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32The challengers have lost one brain from the Final Round.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34The Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40TEAM CONFER

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Because no-one's really good at geography, I'll take the bullet.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- OK.- Tim's going to fall on his sword for us.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Did we say Daphne?- CJ.- Was it CJ?

0:07:50 > 0:07:55We'll take on CJ and hope it's all on the British Isles!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57You have been studying Eggheads!

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Tim from Team Whatever versus CJ on Geography, and maybe even English geography.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Please do take your positions in the Question Room.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Tim, what are you up to at the moment?

0:08:08 > 0:08:13I'm working in London during the week, but staying in a hotel.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'm a coordinator.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19I get to go back home to Leeds on the weekend, which is nice.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- You're coordinating, what, building? - It's a construction and utilities firm.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28I'm working on a contract which is putting up street lights in Barnet and Enfield.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30They're putting them up, not taking them down?!

0:08:30 > 0:08:34They take them down and then put the new ones up!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Do you have to count the number of lights?

0:08:37 > 0:08:41No. They're putting less lights up

0:08:41 > 0:08:44because they're better for the environment

0:08:44 > 0:08:47and the new lights have more coverage,

0:08:47 > 0:08:51so it will save the local councils in the long run.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55OK. Good luck. I'll ask each of you three questions in turn.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Tim, first or second?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'll go first, please.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Here we go. Good luck.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11The Great Barrier Reef is situated in which sea?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19I said before if I had a geography round,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22I wouldn't want seas or lakes,

0:09:22 > 0:09:26so this isn't the best question to start of with.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33I'm not sure, so I'm going to have to go for the Tasman Sea.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Let's see if CJ knows. - I'm afraid it's the Coral Sea.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Coral Sea is the right answer. Sorry.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I suppose it's made of coral,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- but then it seems too obvious. - It does.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46I understand why you swerved from that. CJ, your question.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Let's hope he gets some English geography.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Which island lies directly north of Sardinia?

0:09:57 > 0:09:58That is Corsica.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Corsica is the right answer.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Back to you, Tim.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07What type of geographical feature is Nanga Parbat in Pakistan?

0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'm not sure, but going by the landscape of Pakistan,

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'd go for mountain.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Very good. Mountain it is. You're right.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22OK, CJ, your question.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27The French city of Nantes stands on the estuary of which river?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I don't really know, but, er...

0:10:35 > 0:10:38I know cities that stand on all of those rivers.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Marseille is on the mouth of the Rhone,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44but an estuary doesn't necessarily mean that.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I really don't know this.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Is Nantes something to do with the Loire Valley?

0:10:54 > 0:10:58I'm not at all sure, so I'm going to take a blind guess at the Loire.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01The Loire is correct.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02JEREMY LAUGHS

0:11:02 > 0:11:04How does he do that?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08You need this answer right, otherwise you're knocked out.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11How many of the Faroe Islands are inhabited?

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Again, I have no idea which...

0:11:20 > 0:11:25It is geography, so it's not my strongest, so I'll go...

0:11:26 > 0:11:28..I'll plump for 8.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Let's see if the Eggheads know. Faroe Islands?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- We're plumping for 8. - You would say 8?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35- What would you say, CJ?- 8.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- 17 is the right answer. - THEY GROAN

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Sorry, Tim. He's taken it off you.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42CJ is through on Geography!

0:11:42 > 0:11:45My goodness. We should have a plaque and a photo!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Both of you, come back here and rejoin your teammates.

0:11:50 > 0:11:56The challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round. The Eggheads have lost none so far.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58The next subject is Film & Television.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Who would like this?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02That's mine, isn't it?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Who against?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- OK, Tim against whom? - THEY CONFER

0:12:08 > 0:12:13- Was it Judith?- I don't think we had a particular weak one down.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Tim, who would you like to take on? - Judith?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Do you want to take on Judith?- Yes.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Done.- Go for it, Tim. Good luck.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- It may not look like it, but, Judith, you love EastEnders.- I do.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28You've got the popular culture as well as the high culture.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Only EastEnders.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I don't know the cast's names, either.- We'll see.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Tim from Team Whatever against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Tim, you're a maths teacher. - That's right.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49But doing Film & TV in this round, so you've managed to fit in some TV viewing.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55Marking homework! I can watch a bit of TV whilst I'm doing that.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Any likes and dislikes in the cinema?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'll watch anything, any films.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02I love Charlie Chaplin and all those kind of things.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'll ask each of you three questions on Film & TV.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Tim, the first or second set? - I'll go first, thanks.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Here's your first question.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Who played Jerry Leadbetter in the TV sitcom The Good Life?

0:13:22 > 0:13:25The Good Life is the allotment one.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29And I know it's not David Jason

0:13:29 > 0:13:31and I'm pretty sure it's not Leonard Rossiter.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34He rings a bell for something else.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38So I'm going to go for the middle, Paul Eddington.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42And you've got it absolutely right. Paul Eddington. Well done.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Judith, in the 1957 film An Affair To Remember,

0:13:46 > 0:13:51the lovers, played by Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, agree to meet where?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59They met on the Empire State Building.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02They did in the remake, as well.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05The Empire State Building is right. Well done.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10What was the name of the character played by Jean Marsh

0:14:10 > 0:14:13in the TV drama series "Upstairs, Downstairs"

0:14:13 > 0:14:16first broadcast in 1971?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22That is a programme that I have never watched.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Er...

0:14:24 > 0:14:27None of them ring any bells.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32I'm thinking, er, I'm thinking Rose Buck. I'm not sure why.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36So I'm going to go for Rose Buck.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40You did well not to say you weren't born then. You were born at least ten years later.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Oh, at least!- In?- 1983.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44'83!

0:14:44 > 0:14:48But you got it right. Rose Buck is the right answer.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well done.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Judith, which British TV series won international Emmy Awards

0:14:54 > 0:14:58for Best Drama in 2006 and 2008?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Erm, I think I don't know.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09I think it might be Life On Mars.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Have you seen it?- I think I might have seen an episode.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Life On Mars is the right answer. It is good. You'd enjoy it.

0:15:17 > 0:15:22I think it had started by the time I was alerted to it and I didn't get into it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- It's politically-incorrect policing. - Yes.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29OK, Tim. You're doing well so far. See if you can throw her off.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Which French film director was married to the actress Candice Bergen?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Candice Bergen? Er...

0:15:42 > 0:15:44I don't recognise her name.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48The only two directors that I recognise are Francois Truffaut

0:15:48 > 0:15:51and Louis Malle. Er...

0:15:53 > 0:15:58The one I'm tempted to go for is Francois Truffaut.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think he's a bit more...

0:16:00 > 0:16:04I'm not sure. I'll go for Francois Truffaut.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06He is better known, but he's not right.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- It was the other one. Louis Malle. - Damn.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11So a chance for Judith to take the round.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15If you get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death. Here's your question.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Who wrote the screenplay for the 2007 film Atonement?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Atonement? It was a novel by Ian McEwan, wasn't it?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I wonder why he didn't.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Erm, I don't think it was Julian Fellowes.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39I don't think it's his sort of thing.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I think it could be either Tom Stoppard or Christopher Hampton.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47Which? Trusty right, Christopher Hampton.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- You've done the Keppel technique. - Yes.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54- You haven't done it for a while. - I only do it when I'm desperate.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Her new thing is a swerve to the right suddenly.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02You've got it absolutely right. The technique has served you well!

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Tim, sorry, she knocked you out!

0:17:04 > 0:17:07She's good at that! Judith, you're in the final.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Both of you, come back to your teams and we'll play the next round.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16The challengers have lost three brains from the Final Round,

0:17:16 > 0:17:17the Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20The last subject is History.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Is this any good? - THEY LAUGH

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Vinny or Naomi. Who wants it? - Crikey!

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Is it more important to have Vinny in the last round?

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Yes. I would rather have Vinny.- OK.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33- It's you, is it?- I'll take it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It doesn't mean you'll get knocked out. You could be in the Final.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Who are we going against? - Daphne or Kevin?

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Daphne?- ALL: Yes. - We'll go for Daphne, please.- OK.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Naomi from Team Whatever, Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Naomi, you've got a really interesting job.- I do, yes.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56I'm head of public affairs for the British Humanist Association.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59We work on behalf on non-religious people in the UK.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Do people actually convert to Humanism?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Do they go Humanist?- It's not about converting to Humanism.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Humanists are atheists or agnostics

0:18:06 > 0:18:10and want to live a positive and ethical life.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- What do you think, Daphne? - I'm all for that!

0:18:13 > 0:18:18No, no, I mean, I believe in living a Christian, ethical life.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21OK. Well, we've found a meeting of minds there.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Let's leave it there.

0:18:22 > 0:18:27Three questions on history. Naomi, do you want the first or the second set?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'll take the second set, please.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38She's pounced and reversed the tables on you, Daphne! Here we go!

0:18:38 > 0:18:43John Wesley was the principal founder of which religious movement in the 18th century?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50He was the founder of the Methodists.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54And they actually celebrate the day in May

0:18:54 > 0:18:57when he actually converted to Methodism.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Right!- Yes.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Methodist is the right answer. Well done.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- I can't help feeling that was your question.- Quite!

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Here's yours. Battle Abbey was built on the site of which battle?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I know there is a place called Battle.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21And I think it's near Hastings.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24But Bosworth also rings a bell.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm trying...

0:19:28 > 0:19:32It feels like it's somewhere in the south.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35And I thought Battle was somewhere near Kent.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39I'm not sure where Bosworth is. My geography's not very good.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43But Hastings is in Sussex, down south,

0:19:43 > 0:19:46so I'm going to go for Hastings.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Hastings is the right answer. Well done. Nicely done.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Here is your next question.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56What was the name of the fund established in Britain in 1704

0:19:56 > 0:19:59to aid poorer members of the clergy?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09That was Queen Anne's Bounty.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Queen Anne's Bounty is correct.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14She's stolen the lead. See if you can keep up.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18The woman known as La Pasionaria

0:20:18 > 0:20:21became an international figure during which conflict?

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Well, La Pasionaria sounds quite Spanish.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Erm...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36The Korean War had lots of,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39er, obviously, kind of...

0:20:39 > 0:20:43..and Vietnam, erm, American influence.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46I can't see why that name or that person

0:20:46 > 0:20:49would be particularly related to those two wars,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52so I would go with the Spanish Civil War.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56The Spanish Civil War is correct. You're playing well!

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Daphne, here's your question.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01The decision to mount an Allied invasion of Sicily

0:21:01 > 0:21:04was made at which World War II conference?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, dear! Er...

0:21:14 > 0:21:18I don't think it's Yalta because that's later.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Erm...

0:21:22 > 0:21:26Oh, dear. It's either Casablanca or Tehran.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Erm...

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Tehran.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Eggheads?- Casablanca. - Casablanca, says Kevin!

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Casablanca is the right answer.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41So if you get this right, Naomi, you will be in the final.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44You will have knocked Daphne out, which is not easy to do.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Which saint was known as the Apostle of the Indies?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Which saint was known as the Apostle of the Indies?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Hm...

0:22:00 > 0:22:03This is a bit more tricky.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Erm...

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm going to rule out Thomas Aquinas.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14I just don't think...

0:22:14 > 0:22:18That doesn't seem familiar to me in that context.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Initially, what struck me was Ignatius Loyola,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25although I haven't heard that saint.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Francis Xavier does sound...

0:22:31 > 0:22:35Mm. It really would be 50-50 here between those two

0:22:35 > 0:22:39if one of them is the right answer.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'm going to go for Ignatius Loyola.

0:22:43 > 0:22:49Ignatius Loyola is the wrong answer. It was Mr Xavier.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51So you were halfway there.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53We go to Sudden Death.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57No multiple choice. It gets a bit harder.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01In 1896, Alfriston Clergy House in East Sussex

0:23:01 > 0:23:06became the first building to be bought by which organisation?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Oh, that was the National Trust.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13National Trust is the right answer.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, Naomi.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20In 1799, Prince Edward Augustus, who went on to become the father of Queen Victoria,

0:23:20 > 0:23:24was created the earl of where?

0:23:28 > 0:23:33Erm, I'm trying to think of a famous earl, earls.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Erm, the Earl of...

0:23:37 > 0:23:39..Wessex?

0:23:39 > 0:23:43It's not. It's Dublin. It's the Earl of Dublin.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45You've been knocked out. I'm sorry.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Daphne, you will be in the Final Round, as will all the Eggheads.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Do, both of you, please come back to us now.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58So this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the Final Round, which is general knowledge.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Naomi, Roshni, and the two Tims from Team Whatever,

0:24:06 > 0:24:10would you please now leave the studio?

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Vinny, you are playing to win Team Whatever £15,000.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18Pat, Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22you're playing for the Eggheads precious reputation.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29This time, the questions are all general knowledge. You are allowed to confer.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Vinny, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:24:34 > 0:24:39- You don't need to answer. Do you want to go first or second?- Erm...

0:24:39 > 0:24:42The closest we've come to winning a round is when Naomi chose second,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45so I'll go second, as well.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Best of luck to you, Vinny. OK, Eggheads, your question.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55French Lop and Flemish Giant are breeds of which creature?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00EGGHEADS CONFER

0:25:01 > 0:25:02They're rabbits.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Rabbits is the right answer.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Did you know that?- I think I just shot myself in the foot.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Because you knew that one?- Yes.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Lingfield Park Racecourse is in which county?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29I don't think it's in Devon.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35And I don't think...

0:25:35 > 0:25:38..it's as far south as Surrey.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44- I'm going to go for Cambridgeshire. - You're going for Cambridgeshire.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Eggheads?- ALL: Surrey.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Surrey is the right answer, Vinny. - Oh, well.- Cambridgeshire's wrong.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54OK, Eggheads, you're in the lead. Here's your question.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Which soft drink is a major ingredient

0:25:56 > 0:26:00of a Cuba Libre cocktail?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05It's cola, I think.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Cuba Libre is rum and cola. - Rum and coke.- OK?

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Cola.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Cola is right.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18So you've got to get this one right, otherwise it's over.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Which European dictator was known as The Genius of the Carpathians?

0:26:27 > 0:26:32Which European dictator was known as The Genius of the Carpathians?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Take your time.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38I've never heard that nickname

0:26:38 > 0:26:41in relation to Tito or Ceausescu.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44But to be fair, I've never really heard of Svoboda.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51The Carpathians are around Romania.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56I think Ceausescu was in charge in Romania.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Or I could be completely wrong!

0:27:01 > 0:27:04I'm going to go with Ceausescu.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- You're absolutely right.- Whoo-hoo. - Brilliantly done.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11A little shred of Romania and you were there. Well done.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14OK, Eggheads, if you get this right,

0:27:14 > 0:27:17the contest is yours.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Craig-y-Nos Castle in Wales

0:27:20 > 0:27:24is the former home of which opera singer?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- It's Patti.- Patti.- Adelina Patti.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- She lived in Wales.- Yes.- Definitely.

0:27:34 > 0:27:39I've never heard of Nellie Melba or Jenny Lind having lived in Wales.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41We're going to go for Adelina Patti.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Do you think they've got it right? - Most probably.- They do look right.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50The answer is Adelina Patti. You have got the right answer.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's when the first one's wrong, and they're starting...

0:28:02 > 0:28:06- If I'd gone first and got that one about -- The rabbits.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Yes, those rotten rabbits!

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Well, Eggheads, you are ferocious when you are sat together like that.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15I'm going to move back a bit.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Well done. Bad luck to you, Team Whatever and Vinny.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22You held up the end well. They were all egging you on.

0:28:22 > 0:28:27Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £15,000.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33That money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:37 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44£16,000 says they don't.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Until then, goodbye.
