0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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 > 0:00:27Welcome 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 > 0:00:34Their pedigree is well known as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads. Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today:
0:00:40 > 0:00:46This team of friends quiz together at their local pub in Derby.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi. I'm Brian, I'm 54 and I'm a civil engineer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm Frank. I'm 58. I'm an environmental health officer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm John. I'm 53 and I'm an environmental health officer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm John. I'm 60 and I'm a retired environmental health officer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm James, I'm 28 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Brian and team, welcome. I sense you are quite serious quizzers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Yes, we quiz together most Tuesdays. - As a team or against each other? - As a team.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Just pub quiz, you know.- What is it about quizzing that you like?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Just the challenge, basically. - And the beer!- The challenge and the beer!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And not necessarily in that order!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31And specialist subjects? Do you have strengths and weaknesses in the team?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- They've got strengths, I've got weaknesses!- OK.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Good luck. Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to win, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Now, Mersey Mission, the challengers won the last game
0:01:47 > 0:01:49so that means the jackpot is £1,000.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52£1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Would you like to try?- Yes. - The first head-to-head
0:01:55 > 0:01:58is on the subject of music. Who'd like this?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's either going to be James or John.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- I don't mind having a go. - OK.- James on music.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Which Egghead, James? - Who do you think, Brian?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Daphne, possibly? - I'll take on Daphne.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- That smile of Daphne's is alluring. - Is it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Many sailors have crashed on those rocks!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23So James from Mersey Mission versus Daphne on Music.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- James, how are you on music?- I'm OK if it's the last ten or 15 years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- But anything behind that, I might struggle a bit, but I'll give it a go.- OK.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Good luck. Three multiple choice questions on music.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Would you like the first or second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Good luck.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54The singer Marvin Gaye was most associated with which genre of popular music?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Right, OK.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05I know that he's associated with Motown, coming out of Detroit.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09So I know it's not rap. It's not country. It's soul.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11That's my final answer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Spot on. Soul is right, James. Well done.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Daphne, your question.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21What was the title of the 1988 UK number one single for Yazz and the Plastic Population?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Um, I think it's The Only Way Is Up.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Is that right?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- You have to sing it to get the point.- Oh, no, no, no.- And dance!
0:03:39 > 0:03:44I could clear the studio if I started singing!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46The Only Way Is Up is the right answer.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Your question, James.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54Which musical features the songs If The Rain's Gotta Fall and All In The Cause of Economy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Musicals isn't my specialist subject.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I think I'll have to have a guess at this one.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'm going to go for Chess.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- I'll ask Daphne cos she will know. - Half A Sixpence.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Half A Sixpence is the right answer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Daphne, here's a question more towards the music that you like.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Which heavy metal lead singer is nicknamed The Air Raid Siren?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Um...
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Gosh.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Well... I'll pick the one I've never heard of. Rob Halford.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50It's wrong, Daphne. James, you can have your revenge. Do you know?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Is it Bruce Dickinson? - It is Bruce Dickinson.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56So still level. Third question to you, James.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Richard Sarstedt recorded the 1961 UK number one single
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Will I Ask You under which name?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Again, a little bit before my time. I should have swatted up
0:05:12 > 0:05:14on music before the 1980s, I suppose.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I'll have to take a guess. I'll go down the middle. Georgie Fame.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Georgie Fame. Do your fellow quizzers know?- Eden Kane.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Eden Kane is the answer, James. Sorry, you got that wrong.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I love that '60s music, but I can't place the tune.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35(SINGS FIRST FEW LINES)
0:05:35 > 0:05:38OK. Got it. Thank you. Well done.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Most people say no when I try that! Daphne. You get the round if this is right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Who composed the theme tune Calling All Workers
0:05:46 > 0:05:49for the BBC radio programme Music While You Work
0:05:49 > 0:05:53that ran from 1940 to 1967?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Oh, dear!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Um, right. Another guess.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Um, Eric Coates.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11I want to know how you do these guesses! You're never wrong!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Eric Coates is the right answer.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Every time she does it. Sorry, James.- It's OK.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Daphne has done what comes naturally and taken the round. You won't be in the final.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31So the challengers have lost one brain whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35The next subject is Politics. Who'd like Politics?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- It's going to be John O.- OK. Against which Egghead? It can't be Daphne.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- That's a nasty one.- Chris? - I'm tempted to go for Barry.- OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Fair enough. OK. I'll go for Barry, please.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So John O from Mersey Mission, and Barry on Politics.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Been having a bad run, Barry?- Yes, but it's all going to end, now! - Something to prove.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02So Barry from Eggheads on Politics. To ensure no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06John, you are a great bird watcher?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Yes, I like to get out and do a bit of bird-watching.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's not just studying them in books,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15it's collecting your own moments when you have seen the birds.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20There's nothing like seeing a bird in the wild that you've looked at in a book
0:07:20 > 0:07:23that you're able to identify. It's a good feeling.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Any particular moments that made it worthwhile?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Little things you remember, when you see your first kingfisher.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Things you don't forget. - Do you share that interest?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Not in birds, but I like to be out in the fresh air.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Are we supposed to be impressed? - Depends which bit of fresh air you're in!
0:07:43 > 0:07:50So three questions on not birds, not even science. It's Politics. How did that happen, John?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Three questions. First or second set?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'll go first, please.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00First question. Good luck.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04In 1999, Hilary Benn became an MP for the Leeds Central constituency
0:08:04 > 0:08:07representing which party?
0:08:09 > 0:08:14I think Hilary Benn was Tony Benn's son.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So I'm fairly certain it's going to be the Labour Party.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Labour is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Barry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28- I haven't been counting. Have you been knocked out a few times?- I've lost the last three in a row.- OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:36Since 1994, which London building has been the HQ of the UK security service known as MI5?
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Well, as it's that huge modern building on The Thames,
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- I'll go for Thames House. - Thames House is the right answer.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52John, your second question.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56In which European country did women get the right to vote in 1971?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I thought Switzerland was one of the earliest ones.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I might be wrong.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09France and Germany sounds, um...
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I think I'll take a flyer and go on France.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21France is wrong. It's Switzerland, John.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Barry,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24your chance to take the lead.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27In 1985, the civil servant Clive Ponting
0:09:27 > 0:09:30was acquitted of breaching the Official Secrets Act
0:09:30 > 0:09:33by leaking official documents about which issue?
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Well, the Belgrano was sunk in the Falklands War, in 1982.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46So in 1985, it must be the sinking of the Belgrano.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49The sinking of the Belgrano is right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Eggheads lead two-one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53John, you've got to get this right.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59In 1804, which founding father of the United States and former treasury secretary
0:09:59 > 0:10:04was killed in a duel with the then vice-president Aaron Burr?
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I don't know this one either, so I'll have to have a guess.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I think I'll eliminate Benjamin Franklin.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So it's 50/50.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think I'll go for...
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Go down the middle. I'll have Alexander Hamilton.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- You know, Barry? - It's correct.- Correct.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Seems like a classic quizzers' question. Anyone know any more?
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- What was the duel about?- He insulted him, I think about the way he was campaigning.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46He insulted him and it was a very personal slander.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47He challenged him to a duel.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Barry, if you get this right, you're in the final
0:10:51 > 0:10:53and you can put that difficult phase behind you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Who became Britain's first female cabinet minister
0:10:57 > 0:11:01when she was appointed Minister of Labour in 1929?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07All fine female politicians.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11But the first female Minister of Labour was Margaret Bondfield.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Barry, you're right. Margaret Bondfield. You're in the final at long last!
0:11:16 > 0:11:21John, sorry he's knocked you out. Please both come back to the studio.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Brian, any reflections at this point?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It's not looking too good, but you know!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- We're still alive and kicking. - It could be better.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We've got the spirit of Istanbul here!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'm pretty sure the last team lost the first two
0:11:36 > 0:11:40and they won the contest. They ended up with only two in the final.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46So it can be done. The challengers have lost two brains from the final.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You'll hope to knock an Egghead out before the final.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51The next subject is Sport.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Who would like this?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- I think Jay was down to do Sport. He's been. We'll have John.- John.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Yeah.- John. OK. Against which Egghead?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05He probably knows what's coming, but we'll go for Chris.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Yeah, pal.- OK.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12John from Mersey Mission against Chris, herumfing!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- From the Eggheads. - I won the last one!
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Right.- He's very proud of that, as well. Back in the late '90s, no?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23To ensure no conferring, go to the Question Room.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29John, I'm sensing a strong team on sport here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Depends on what sport it is. Like most people, I have a good general base of sport.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Stronger on some than others. - Are you the red or the blue side?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm the only one on the blue side.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44I'm the only one with loyalty and sense to follow a team even if they don't win trophies.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Does it annoy you, because you come from Liverpool,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50people think you must be a supporter of Liverpool FC?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55That's the consensus from a lot of people outside. They think you support Liverpool.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Good luck. Three questions on Sport, in turn.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01John, choose the first or second set.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03The first set, please, Jeremy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Your first question, John.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The kit normally worn by the Australian national rugby union team
0:13:12 > 0:13:15is referred to by which two colours?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's these colours I get confused with South Africa as well
0:13:22 > 0:13:24for cricket and rugby union.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28But out of those options, I'm fairly certain it's green and gold.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Green and gold. Not the one that Chris is wearing?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- No.- That's a different rugby team!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Green and gold is the right answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Chris, your first question.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Cristie Kerr of the USA and Ai Miyazato of Japan
0:13:43 > 0:13:47became famous as leading female players in which sport?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, the second one sounds Japanese.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Snooker's pretty big in the Orient these days.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Don't think tennis is, much.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04They sound like a pair of lady golfers, so I'll say golf.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Amazing deduction! Yeah, golf is right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12John, in 2010
0:14:12 > 0:14:16in which event did athlete Christian Malcolm win medals
0:14:16 > 0:14:20at the European Athletics Championships and the Commonwealth Games?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I'm a big fan of athletics.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Most of my life I've followed British athletics.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Christian Malcolm is one of the British sprint relay team,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- so the 200 metres.- Well done.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38A lot of people would trip up on that. It's the 200 metres.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Athletics is a bit of a blind spot, Chris, for lots of quizzers.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yeah. Stupid waste of energy!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Sorry I asked! OK, your question.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52In December 2010, it was announced that which country
0:14:52 > 0:14:57had won the FIFA vote to host the 2022 World Cup finals?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Ah, yes.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05There's all sorts of apprehension
0:15:05 > 0:15:09about playing in 40-degree heat, isn't there, in Qatar.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- So it's Qatar. - Qatar is the right answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15OK, your question, John.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Which flat racing jockey often described as one of the tallest in his profession
0:15:19 > 0:15:22is nicknamed The Window Cleaner?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I can't imagine it's Richard Hills
0:15:30 > 0:15:33because him and his brother are twins, so the same height.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Richard Hughes was originally a jump jockey
0:15:37 > 0:15:41so I imagine he was taller and heavier than most flat jockeys
0:15:41 > 0:15:44so on that assumption, I'll go for Richard Hughes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Very good. Right. Richard Hughes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Calling a lot of information to mind.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I can see the Eggheads. A fleeting sign of approval.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Look at CJ. That is his "I am impressed" face.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- It's gone now. It's passed! - You had it for a second.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03OK, Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Keke Rosberg won the 1982 Formula 1 drivers' championship
0:16:07 > 0:16:10whilst competing for which team?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Well, he's a Finn, isn't he?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I don't think it was Williams or Tyrrell.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I think it was Colin Chapman's mob from Cheshunt. Lotus.- Lotus.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Do you know, Eggheads? - I thought he was Williams.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Williams is the right answer. Chris, you're out.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31John, you're in the final round!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Please both come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So the challengers have lost two brains from the final,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43but the Eggheads have now lost one brain. Well done.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So, the last subject is Geography.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Then it's the final. Who wants Geography?
0:16:49 > 0:16:55Well, our best two players will be in the final if I go for Geography.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Our best two players will be in the final. I'll take Geography.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Is he being overly modest here?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03He's telling the truth!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So you're doing Geography, against which Egghead?
0:17:07 > 0:17:14- CJ or Pat?- Well, we know CJ confesses to not knowing British geography.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- So we'll take CJ, please. - He'll be pleased(!)
0:17:17 > 0:17:22The shows he's seen were a year ago! I've been working hard. You may want to reconsider!
0:17:22 > 0:17:26At least you've been picked, cos people have been ignoring him!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Brian from Mersey Mission against CJ, at last back in the booth
0:17:29 > 0:17:31on Geography.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Please go to the Question Room.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So we've got two marathon runners now.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- CJ and Brian, you run marathons? - I've done a few. Not for a few years.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48- Tell us which countries.- New York, Prague, a couple in Monaco.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I've done Blackpool as well!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52How about you, CJ?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I've only done one outside of this country, Amsterdam.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Are you going to do some more? - I'll see.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The last two I did were the London marathons in '09 and '10.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05In both of them, I injured myself badly.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Especially in '10 I was supposed to get well under three hours.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I really mucked up my right foot and only managed 3:25
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- and couldn't walk for two months afterwards!- Did you trip over your own ego?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No, in that case I'd have fallen and killed myself!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25We'll ask each of you three questions on Geography.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Brian, first or second set? - First, please, Jeremy.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34See if you can get into the final.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40The River Douro that flows into the Atlantic near Porto, rises in which country?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Well, if it's rising in the Atlantic in Portugal,
0:18:48 > 0:18:54I'm hoping it rises in Spain. Could be France, but I'll take Spain.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Spain is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59CJ,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02which river flows through the city of Durham,
0:19:02 > 0:19:07forming a meander that encloses the cathedral and castle on three sides.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15Uh, the Humber is over there, isn't it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18On the east coast.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20The Ribble...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Is The Ribble Leeds?
0:19:24 > 0:19:30Oh, dear. Now, Durham's up somewhere
0:19:30 > 0:19:34on the north-east-ish coast.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I think The Wear's up there as well, cos of Tyne and Wear.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Um, so...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46If Durham's up there and I think The Wear's up there,
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I'll try The Wear.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Is it fair to say you made heavy work of that?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Is it fair to say I know nothing about English geography? - The Wear is the right answer.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02- Have you been to Durham?- No. - I was a student there. It's a beautiful city. Brian,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04what term is used to refer to a rock fragment
0:20:04 > 0:20:09that has been moved to its present location by a glacier
0:20:09 > 0:20:12and thus differs from the local bedrock?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Ooh, erm...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I was kind of hoping rain would come up there!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Freak, erratic or peculiar.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's not a term I'm familiar with.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I'm going to go for... I'll go down the middle and go for peculiar.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Peculiar rock.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38A few days ago, the word "peculiar" was a correct answer to something.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Here it's not, I'm afraid. Erratic is the right answer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Now a question for our own erratic!
0:20:44 > 0:20:50In which country was the province of Flevoland established in 1986?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54CJ?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I haven't heard of it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04If it was Austria, I presume it would be pronounced, "Flavolant".
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I've lived in the Netherlands for some time
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and I haven't heard of it there.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11So...
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Possibly ill-advisedly, I'll rule out Netherlands.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Belgium has a lot of different places, doesn't it,
0:21:19 > 0:21:26with all the different groups that live there.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I don't know this. I'll try Belgium.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Belgium is wrong. It was in the Netherlands. Flevoland.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Brian, that's helped, hasn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- Indeed.- Question three. You're equal. If you can get this right, put some pressure on CJ.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Which state of the United States is divided into parishes
0:21:47 > 0:21:49rather than counties?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Again, it's something I know the answer to.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Basically because Rhode Island is the smallest of the three
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and the smallest of all the states.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14I'll go with Rhode Island on the strength it's not big enough to have counties!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16CJ, which do you think it is?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I don't know. I'd have gone for Rhode Island too. But I don't know.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- It's Louisiana.- Daphne?- Louisiana.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Louisiana is the correct answer, Brian.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29So CJ has a chance to take the round on Geography.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34CJ, Wiesbaden is the capital of which German state?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42John McEnroe was born there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Oh, dear!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Wiesbaden's there.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58So...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm not going to go for Brandenburg.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Apologies if heads have hit the table.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I don't think that's in the right place.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13But I don't know where Saarland or Hesse are.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17This is going to be a bit of a blind guess. I'll try Hesse.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20You've got it right. It is Hesse.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Brian, that's bad luck.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25It seems unfair, but he's done you on Hesse.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29You won't be in the final. CJ will be. Come back to us now.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30We will play the final round.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Time for the final round, as always general knowledge.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part
0:23:41 > 0:23:46in this round. Brian, John O and James from Mersey Mission
0:23:46 > 0:23:50and Chris from the Eggheads please leave the studio.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Frank and John J, you're playing to win Mersey Mission £1,000.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02CJ, Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something money can't buy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You're trying to restore the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12The questions are all general knowledge and you may confer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17So, Mersey Mission, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Good luck. Who was the star of the series of public information films
0:24:29 > 0:24:32that advised drivers to "clunk-click every trip"?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I remember this. Jimmy Savile, wasn't it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- "How's about that, then, boys and girls?"- Yep.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Definitely go with Jimmy Savile.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Jimmy Savile is correct. Well done.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Your question, Eggheads.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54What was the name of the social research project started by Charles Madge,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Humphrey Jennings and Tom Harrison in 1937?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Mass Observation.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- I think it was.- Definitely.- Yes.- OK?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10That was Mass Observation.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Mass Observation is the right answer. One each.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Back to you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Which author of the novel Tulip Fever
0:25:18 > 0:25:24wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36One of the first two options would be my guess.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't know. It could be Margaret Forster.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Do you think it was Margaret Forster?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- OK?- You're the skipper. Go.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Margaret Forster.- Margaret Forster.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Do you know?- Deborah Moggach.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Deborah Moggach is the correct answer, guys.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53You got it wrong.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Eggheads, back to you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57A chance to take the lead for the Eggheads.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Before the First World War, Vernon and Irene Castle
0:26:01 > 0:26:04achieved worldwide fame in which role?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Ballroom dancers.- Yes?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15They were ballroom dancers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17How did you all know - you're right by the way -
0:26:17 > 0:26:20how did you all know that?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I've seen film of them dancing.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24OK. Very early black-and-white film.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I don't know how you know this stuff.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31OK. Get this one right. Put some pressure on.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Then hope for Sudden Death. Anything could happen.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Here's your question.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The Scotsman James Hutton
0:26:38 > 0:26:42born in 1726 has been accorded which accolade?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I don't think it's surgery, do you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- No.- Not medical.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Not modern surgery.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02It was the time of the Enlightenment
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- so it could be... Probably not journalism.- No.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08So surgery or geology?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Surgery. Go on.- Right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Surgery, Jeremy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Your answer is surgery. I thought you'd ruled out surgery?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22We did initially. But we talked ourselves into it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27The answer is that he's the founder of modern geology.
0:27:27 > 0:27:3050/50, wasn't it?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It was 50/50. No way back for you.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Eggheads, congratulations. You have won.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I don't even want to ask if you knew the answer to that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Yes.- Yes, indeed!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- No manners!- His books were absolutely unreadable.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55It wasn't until somebody followed him that his ideas gained currency.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Right.- He's an important name in the Enlightenment.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01He's mentioned in Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- You got the Enlightenment. - We knew it was that period.- Yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Bad luck.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10They do have off days, but you caught them on an on day!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13There are quite a lot of good days, to do them credit.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19So commiserations. The Eggheads have done what is beginning to come naturally to them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27You won't be going home with the £1,000 so that rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye!
