0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz time in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33The quiz pedigree is well known, as they've won
0:00:33 > 0:00:37some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And, taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are -
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, this team of colleagues all work together in
0:00:45 > 0:00:48local government and take their name from a Yorkshire saying
0:00:48 > 0:00:51they feel reflects their roots. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Glenn, I'm 42, and I'm a project coordinator.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 28, and I'm an electrical technician.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Billy, I'm 56, and I'm an electrical technician.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Ash, I'm 35, I'm a building technician.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 42, and I'm a building technician.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Glenn and team, welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Tha Can Always Tell a Yorkshireman, is that the local saying?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17It's a saying that goes back many years what Billy introduced to us.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21It's basically, "Tha can always tell a Yorkshireman, but tha can't tell him much."
0:01:21 > 0:01:23OK. And you're quizzers, all of you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Yeah, we do individual quizzes, yes. - OK, I'm sensing a good team here.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- You're serious about quizzing? - Yes.- All right.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Anyone got Yorkshire roots here? Barry?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Barry is not a Yorkshireman. - Isn't he?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I'm the only native Yorkshireman. - CJ is a Yorkshireman!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I can tell by his accent(!)
0:01:42 > 0:01:45All right, well, I don't think there's any danger of a defection
0:01:45 > 0:01:47from the Eggheads to your team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Good luck. Every day, £1000 worth of cash
0:01:49 > 0:01:51up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57the prize money roles over to the next show.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the Eggheads have won the last 15 games,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05which means £16,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Would you like to try?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- We would.- Definitely. - It's a good jackpot.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12The first battle will be on Science.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Which one of you wants this?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- What did you say?- Ash?- Ash? - I would say Ash.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Do you want me to go for it, yes? - I would say Ash.- Ash, on science?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Reasonably comfortable, yes.- OK. Which Egghead?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28You've got the classic line up here.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31CJ in the middle. Judith nearest me. Chris at the far end.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Chris is quite strong, I think, Billy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I would go for Judith or CJ. - My inclination is to go with Judith.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'd like to challenge Judith.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I don't know, what do you think, Glenn?- Yes, Judith.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45She's got that shocked expression. You OK about this, Judith?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Yes, yes.- All right.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So, it's Ash from Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman versus
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Judith, from Tha Can Always Tell Somebody Who Comes From Kensington!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57|Oh, shut up, Jeremy! Honestly! I hate that!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Ash, you work for local authority, I gather?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I do. I've been there about 11 years, I think.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12So, I've known Glenn and Billy and Paul for all that time.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Andy's the newcomer, he's basically joined the team about a year ago.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Which council?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21What do you do for them?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26It could be anything from inspecting kitchens, bathrooms,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28new roofs, heating systems, things like that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30So, it's quite diverse.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32There is a bit of science creeping in there.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38- There is indeed.- It's technical? - It is, yes. You're absolutely right.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK, three multiple choice questions on science in turn.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Whoever answers the most questions correctly as the winner.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Ash, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'll go first.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Here we go, Ash, good luck.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54What term is used to refer to an agent such as a bacterium or
0:03:54 > 0:03:57virus that can cause disease?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07I've head of a histamine. I've not heard of a seratonin or a pathogen.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Er...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13This would be a pure guess.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Some of the guys in the studio may know the answer, but...
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I'd have to go for a histamine, as a guess.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Judith, what would you guess? - I think the pathogen.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Pathogen is the right answer, Ash.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Judith, your question.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The colourful species kingfisher that is native to Britain has
0:04:33 > 0:04:37an orange/red breast and a back that is which other colour?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's a very brilliant, sort of turquoise blue.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Blue is right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So, she's ahead, Ash. See if you can catch her up.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Heron's formula refers to the area of which geometric shape?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I don't think it's triangle. Er...
0:05:02 > 0:05:07It would be probably either a rectangle or a pentagon.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Erm...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Again, this would be a shot in the dark.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I would say pentagon, as a guess.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Pentagon. The answer is triangle.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What is Heron's's formula?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23CJ, you will know this.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I don't think any of us knew this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Not heard of it? How do you work out the area of a triangle?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Base times height.- Half the base times the height.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Maybe that's Heron's formula.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Happen it is, but I've always just known it as half base times height.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38We're all confused by Heron's formula.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But it's given Judith the lead.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And you'll take the lead however you get it, Judith, won't you?
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Here's your question, and if you get this right, you've won through.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Judith, a dolorimeter is an instrument used to measure what?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58How do you spell it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02D-O-L-O-R-I-M-E-T-E-R. Dolorimeter.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07D-O-L-O-R-I-M... Dolorimeter.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Well, the French word for pain is douleur. So...
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Possibly it's that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm trying to think if there's a link with any of the other...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I'm just going to go for pain, and hope for the best.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24The right answer is pain.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So you have taken the round with that answer.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31She's knocked you out. She's pretty good on science, Judith, actually.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33She is, actually, yeah. You're right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah, and you'll be in the final, Judith. And Ash, you won't.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Please, both of you, come back to your teams, and we will play on.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So we've had a little look at this Heron's formula, Ash.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47And it's named after Heron of Alexandria. It was a toughie.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'll remember that.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The next subject is film and television. Which of you would like this?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- What do you think, Glenn? - You should do that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Should I take this on? - I think you should.- OK!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- I'll take this one.- OK. Against which Egghead? It can't be Judith.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Who looks like they've not watched any films recently?- I think Kevin.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14I do. We all say Kevin.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- I've been frogmarched into choosing Kevin!- All right, fine!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So it's Glenn from Tha Can Tell Always Tell A Yorkshireman
0:07:21 > 0:07:25versus Kevin from the Eggheads on film and television.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Let's see how they both do. Please go to the question rooms now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I'll ask each of you three questions on film and television in turn,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36whoever answers most questions correctly goes to the final.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Glenn, you can choose the first or second set.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I'll opt for first, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Here we go.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Who is the male star of the films Night At The Museum,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Night At The Museum, it's not Harrison Ford.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Er... And don't believe it's Nicolas Cage either.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I think that is Ben Stiller.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well done, Ben Stiller is correct.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Kevin, "Keep out of the black and in the red,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17"there's nothing in this game for two in a bed,"
0:08:17 > 0:08:20was a catchphrase heard in which TV gameshow?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28That sounds distinctly darts related,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30so I think I shall go for Bullseye.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34The brilliant Jim Bowen, wasn't it? Very good.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36So, back to you, Glenn.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Who was the winner of the first
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Comic Relief Does Fame Academy, which was broadcast in 2003?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I don't think it was...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Will...Will Mellor.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Um... I'm leaning towards Ruby Wax or Jo Brand. I can see them winning it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I just think it...
0:09:07 > 0:09:08I'd go for Jo Brand.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Lets see if your teammates know. - Ruby wax?- Ruby wax, as a guess?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Anyone here?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Well Mellor?- Yes, Daphne, well done. Will Mellor, actually.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22It is the one you ruled out. Well Mellor is the answer.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Kevin, here's your question.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Who played the part of the replicant Roy Batty
0:09:28 > 0:09:30in the 1982 film Blade Runner?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Yeah, it had the famous speech about the shoulder of Orion.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It was one of those centrepiece speeches. It's Rutger Hauer.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Rutger Hauer is the right answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- That film is so influential, isn't it?- Mmm, very. Extremely.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Glenn, over to you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You've got to get this one right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Which French actress was nominated for Oscars for the films
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Camille Claudel and The Story of Adele H?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11OK, erm...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17To be honest with you, I don't know the films.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Or the actresses.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Which is not a good start. Erm...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'll plump for one. I'll plump for Juliette Binoche.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It was actually Isabelle Adjani.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Glenn, you've been knocked out by Kevin.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Very strong player as always for Eggheads.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37And Kevin will be in the final.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So please, both of you, come back and we'll play the next round.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Bad luck there. Any change of strategy now?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- It depends what categories come up, I think.- OK, so you'll play it by ear?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Yes.- All right. Good luck.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55The challengers have lost two brains from the final, the Eggheads have lost none.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57The next subject is food and drink.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58How's that for you?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Who do you think?- Andy, Billy, Paul. - These subjects haven't done us well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09- Do you want to, Andy?- Andy or Paul. - Do you want me to go? I'll go.- Andy.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Go on.- Andy, please. - OK, Andy. Against which Egghead?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- CJ, Daphne, or Chris?- Chris?- Chris?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- I'd ask Chris.- Chris?- Yeah. - We'll go for Chris.- OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So, it's Andy from Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- and Chris from the Eggheads.- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28To ensure no conferring, please go to the question rooms now.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Food and drink. Do you do this category a lot, Chris?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Not as often as certain other people I could mention.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But you've obviously been good at it when you've done it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I don't keep score, but if you say so!- Yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46What's your favourite type of food? Favourite dish?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Oh, I like a good roast.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm quite partial to most pasta dishes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Not much of a one for salads.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I do like a nice roast parsnip, roast potato.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Making me feel hungry now. So three questions on food and drink.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Andy, you choose the first or second set of questions.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Good luck getting into that final. They need you in there. Here we go.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The Spanish dish patatas bravas
0:12:14 > 0:12:17consists of chunks of potato in what type of sauce?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Erm, I'm trying to think...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27potatoes, what they'd have it with.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think, probably, I'd go for spicy tomato.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33You wouldn't have it with parsley or bechamel. So, spicy tomato.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Spicy tomato is absolutely right. Well done.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Chris, popular in the Marseille area of France,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44navettes are biscuits made in the shape of which objects?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Spelt N-A-V-E-T-T-E-S.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Ah, navettes.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58The French for rabbit is lapin, so it wouldn't be a rabbit.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Navette. Probably linguistically related to Navy, naval.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Navis, Latin for ship. So, we'll go with boats.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Boats is the right answer, well done. Andy, back to you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Barrique is the term for a 225 litre barrel used for storing wine
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and made from the wood of which tree?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Right. Barrique?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25How is that spelt, Jeremy?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's B-A-R-R-I-Q-U-E.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Right. Erm...barrique.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37For some reason, I'm leaning towards oak. I don't know why.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I just think it might be oak related, barrique. I'll go for oak.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46And oak is the right answer. Playing well, Andy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Let's see if you've held him off.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52What was the name of the fad diet which was briefly popular
0:13:52 > 0:13:55in the 1970s and which permitted dieters to only
0:13:55 > 0:13:59eat four different foods over an eight-day period?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Hm...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11The Israeli army diet would be kosher.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15But, yeah, I'll go with the Icelandic army diet. Icelandic.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's not the Icelandic army diet.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's actually the Israeli army diet. - Is it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Yes, I remember that from my childhood. People talking about...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Anyone been on that, know about that?- No.- No? Drawing a blank here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Israeli army diet is the right answer.- I wouldn't know about diets!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Andy, you've taken the lead because he didn't know it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41And if you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45What type of meat is the Italian guanciale?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51And it's spelt G-U-A-N-C-I-A-L-E. Guanciale.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Guanciale.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Erm, I don't think it'll be chicken.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Erm...
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's not one I've heard of.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think that might be pork.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I don't know why. I've got a feeling, pork.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I don't think it's beef, I know it's not chicken. Pork.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Pork is your answer?- Yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17If you got this right, you're in the final round. Is he right, Chris?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I wouldn't know, Jeremy.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Even more satisfying. You are right, Andy. Well done.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Three out of three, so you're in the final.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Things are turning around, maybe, for the Yorkshire team.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38I can tell you more about the Israeli army diet, OK?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's pretty ferocious. Days one to two, apples.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Days three to four, cheese.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Only cheese. Five to six, chicken.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And then, seven to eight, salad.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That's the diet! That is not a lot of fun!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Day nine, funeral!- Yeah!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You can drink black tea or coffee whenever you want.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59That's the one concession.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yeah.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05The challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08But the Eggheads have now lost a brain.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It getting exciting. The last subject before the final is sport.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That good for you?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17We'll wait and see!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- It's got to be Billy or Paul. - I'll take sport.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23OK, so Paul against which Egghead? CJ or Daphne?
0:16:23 > 0:16:29- Daphne.- Do you think?- Yeah. - I think so, yeah.- Daphne?- Daphne.- OK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- We'll try.- We'll try Daphne, please. - You were supposed to pick him!
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Daphne's sporting knowledge is quite something. Both are good.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Paul from Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman
0:16:41 > 0:16:43against Daphne from the Eggheads on sport.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Please go to the question rooms now.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- So, Paul, they chose you pretty swiftly on sport.- Yes, yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'll give it a go, Jeremy. I'll give it my best shot.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I know you liked running. You don't run anymore?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57No, I ran for eight years.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I had a motorcycle accident and have now switched to biking
0:17:00 > 0:17:03because it's less impact on the knee that I damaged.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- That's tough stopping running. - It is.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- It is, yeah. Starts to show.- Ha-ha! Good luck in sport.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Three questions, multiple-choice.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Would you like the first or the second set, Paul?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I think I'll go first, Jeremy, please.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Here we go, your first question.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26In 1839 a horse named Lottery became the first to win which race?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I don't know the answer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I don't think it's the Grand National.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm going to go with a local race to me
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Doncaster, St Leger, please.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's not the St Leger, it's the Grand National that Lottery won.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- I bet that's a quizzing fact, is it?- Yes.- all Quizzers know that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- I knew that. - You knew that as well, Daphne?- Yes.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56OK, well, don't rub it in.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Don't tell me it's football.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You'll like this question.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03In 2010, who won the inaugural Power Snooker tournament,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07which exhibited a shorter and quicker version of snooker?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Oh, I told you you should have picked CJ.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Um, haven't heard of it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- SHE SIGHS - No idea. Peter Ebdon.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Peter Ebdon is wrong.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You normally say no idea and then get the right answer.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29When I say I haven't heard of it, I really haven't.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32But you have this amazing technique of guessing.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Anyway, Ronnie O'Sullivan is right. You're equal, how about that?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Yes, yes.- You got a break there.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Forgive the snooker pan. - Even Stevens.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Your Call in East London is a venue particularly associated with which sport?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'm going to go straight down the middle, Jeremy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Again, I don't know, show jumping. - You say show jumping.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Anyone in your team know?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Boxing.- They all say boxing and they're right, sorry to say, Paul,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04boxing is the right answer. Daphne, your question.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Which tennis player, then an amateur, came through the qualifiers
0:19:08 > 0:19:11of the Wimbledon men's singles in 1977
0:19:11 > 0:19:15and was eventually knocked out in the semi-finals?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Mmm...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25John McEnroe.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27I'll check with CJ.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31All these questions have come from the CJ draw. Who was it, CJ?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It is McEnroe.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36McEnroe is the right answer, Daphne, you've taken the lead, well done.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- So he came in as a wildcard? - He was only a teenager.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Just bumbling around.- Yes. - Then he's in the semifinals.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- He went straight to the semis, yes. - Who was he knocked out by?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I think it was Jimmy Connors. - OK, Paul, your question.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Kathy Whitworth, born in 1939,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55became a famous name in which sport?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Unfortunately again, Jeremy, it's going to have to be a pure guess.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I'm going to go sailing, please.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12OK, if you've got this one wrong
0:20:12 > 0:20:15it's Daphne's round because she's got one point.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The answer is golf.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So she's knocked you out with her correct answer.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I won't get back to you on the third question, Daphne, you're in the final.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Paul, sorry.- No problem.- You've been knocked out of the contest
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and if you come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It is time for the final round, which as always is general knowledge
0:20:36 > 0:20:39but I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:20:39 > 0:20:41won't to be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Glenn, Ash, and Paul from Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman
0:20:44 > 0:20:49and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Andy and Billy, here we are. Is this how it was meant to turn out?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Not quite.- Not quite, no. - But you're doing all right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Two of you, four of them and you can win from this position, no question.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Billy, your special interest is golf.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- It is.- So actually the Kathy Whitworth question.... - I didn't know her.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10But your interest is in the records and history.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The history, records and the champions of golf.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And you set quiz questions and all that?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Yes, I did it for years in our local pub.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Have they held you back as a special weapon?- Allegedly. LAUGHS
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Don't want to give you too much build up, but good luck anyway.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30I hope you pull through and I hope for some golf questions, that's what we need.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34So you're playing to win Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman £16,000,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36while Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39you are playing for something money can't buy,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41the Egghead's reputation.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48this time the questions are all general knowledge, you can confer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So, Tha Can Always Tell A Yorkshireman, the question is,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54are your two brains better than the Egghead's four?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Shall we get cracking? Do you want to go first or second?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Here is your first question and all the best to you, Billy and Andy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10What name is sometimes given to places of worship, such as Westminster Abbey,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13which is subject to the direct authority of the sovereign
0:22:13 > 0:22:16rather than any bishop or Archbishop?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Have you got some idea? - I don't think it's royal oddity.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I think it is either royal parochial or royal peculiar.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I have heard of royal peculiar.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- That's the only one I've heard of. - I don't think it's royal oddity.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I don't think the royals would be associated with anything odd.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- The only one I've heard is royal peculiar.- I'm the same.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Shall we go for that?- Yes.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47We'll go for royal peculiar.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'm glad you did, royal peculiar is right. Well done.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57OK, Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01which Nobel prize-winning playwright died in 1950 at the age of 94?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- GBS on that one?- Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10We think that's George Bernard Shaw.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- You call him GBS in Quiz Land?- Yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16GBS is right. George Bernard Shaw.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20So, equal after one question each. Here's your next question.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Who is the subject of the Michael Crick book,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27subtitled Stranger Than Fiction?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Michael Crick...
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Somewhere I've heard of the book.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Stranger than fiction. - Stranger than fiction.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I don't think that would be David Beckham.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46For some reason, Michael Jackson, a wild life style...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48He has had a wild lifestyle.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Jeffrey Archer's been notorious for...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54..for being in prison.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- I would go, I would go for Michael Jackson.- Michael Jackson?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00He had a wild life, didn't he?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It seems to go with the title of the book, doesn't it, really?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Shall we go for that one?
0:24:04 > 0:24:10- Yes, we'll go for Michael Jackson. - Your answer is Michael Jackson.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Michael Crick is more a politics writer
0:24:13 > 0:24:18and the book is about Jeffrey Archer.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Famously said in politics,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23the five most frightening words in British politics,
0:24:23 > 0:24:24"Michael Crick is in reception."
0:24:24 > 0:24:26LAUGHTER
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Eggheads, to take the lead, which Canton of Switzerland
0:24:30 > 0:24:34was only created in 1979 when it was separated from the Canton of Bern?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I think it's Jura.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Jura?- I think so, yes.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Well, yes, I'm pretty sure.- OK. - That's good enough for us then.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53I think what happened was the Jura is a French speaking area,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Bern and the area around that is very much German-speaking
0:24:57 > 0:25:01and the French speakers had been agitating for their own Canton
0:25:01 > 0:25:04for a long time and it finally happened
0:25:04 > 0:25:07and Valais is right down in the south of Switzerland,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09further away from Bern
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and Uri is one of the most historic Cantons, right in the middle.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You do worry me sometimes, you know.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17It's Jura anyway.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Erm, this rather sad, lonely man next to me,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25who just happens to be brilliant at quizzing, says it's Jura.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29So that's what we are going to go for.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30No doubt about it, it is Jura.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- I'd object to the "sad and lonely". - I was just going to say.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36All he's done is fill his head with books.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's quite reasonable.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42You're the one who learns the lists CJ, for goodness sake.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- You don't, do you?- No. I have looked at lists in the past,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47but it's not something I like doing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50You read and you're cultural.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You need question right, third question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Get it wrong and the contest is over.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58In which decade was the Radio Times first published?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Radio was before television.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Television started in 1936 at Alexander Palace,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14but radio was before that.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I was thinking earliest.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I'd be tempted myself to go for '20s...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But then again, television. It's old, very old.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30It was 1936 when BBC started transmitting television.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32But there was radio before that, wasn't there?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34For some reason I'd have thought earliest.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's what I was thinking.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Shall we go with that then?- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42We'll go for the 1920s, Jeremy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The actual year was 1923,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48so you're quite right. Good use of logic.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You're equal, but Eggheads,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53if you get this one right, you've taken the contest.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55The Aria, "Una Furtiva Lagrima"
0:26:55 > 0:27:01is sung by Nemorino in which opera by Donizetti?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, um, L'Elisir?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15If memory serves, it's a comedy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That's the one Nemorino was in...
0:27:21 > 0:27:25We think, therefore it is, L'Elisir d'Amore.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29There doesn't seem to be any uncertainty about you at all today.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You are in quite frightening form.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36You're quite right, it is L'Elisir. So the contest is yours.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Would you have got the third question there?- No.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52It was a toughie for the non-opera buffs and it had me, I must say.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Eggheads, well done. Commiserations to our challengers.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- It's been great to see you. - Thank you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03The Eggheads' winning streak continues. It's really quite impressive now.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £16,000,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations, who is going to beat you I wonder?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22£17,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
