0:00:03 > 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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:30Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:36Their quiz pedigree is well-known. They've won the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on our quiz champions
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are the Yorkshire Puddings. They all work in IT
0:00:42 > 0:00:46for Sheffield or Calderdale Council. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Ralph, I'm 47 and I'm a solutions architect.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Mary, I'm 56 and an IT projects officer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I'm Brendan, I'm 25 and an information systems officer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Joelle, I'm 31 and an information management officer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Keith, I'm 52 and I'm the lead information systems officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Ralph and team, welcome. You are quizzers, are you?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15We like to quiz. We all like to quiz. We like nothing better.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20You are as enthusiastic as IT people can be about quizzing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Tell us why you called yourselves the Yorkshire Puddings.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31A couple of colleagues came up with that. Keith's mum, actually, and Joelle claimed it as well.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36There was a team on about a year ago called what?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- The Lancashire Hotpots.- And you needed a Yorkshire equivalent.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We couldn't let that lie. - Do we remember them?
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- I think they beat us!- They won. - One against five of us. - One against five, was it?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Yes.- Could that be an omen?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08So the Eggheads won just the last game, which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Would you like to try?- Certainly.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The first head-to-head battle is History.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Who would like this?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- All right... - We knew we'd get a stinker!
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Keith? - I have no... Fine.
0:02:25 > 0:02:32A slightly reluctant Keith. Which Egghead would you like? No Kevin, which may help you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- How's about Pat? - OK, Pat, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:42- Keith from the Yorkshire Puddings. Pat, on history. Which is your best period?- It's all the same to me.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Just one thing after another. - Don't be taken in by that.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Pat from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room now.
0:02:50 > 0:02:57- So Keith, you're doing the IT stuff at the moment?- Yes.- But previously in the army for a long time.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Yes. 25 years.- Wow. And travelled a lot.- Quite extensively, luckily.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- Tell us where.- Italy was a highlight, some Arab countries -
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Bahrain, Oman,
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- Tajikistan was unusual. - And you decided at some point to settle down a bit, did you?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Yeah, take it a little easier.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24OK, well, good luck. It's History. Pat, it's all the same to you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29It's just one damn thing after another, isn't it, history?
0:03:29 > 0:03:35And you remember all the dates. OK, each of you gets three multiple choice questions.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Win and go through to the final.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Keith, choose the first or second set of questions.- First, please.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51Keith, at which royal residence did Queen Victoria die in January, 1901?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I don't know the answer to this, but I'm drawn towards Balmoral.
0:04:02 > 0:04:09I haven't heard of Osborne House, I don't think it was Sandringham, so my answer is Balmoral Castle.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Balmoral Castle. Chris will know.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Osborne.- Isle of Wight. It's tucked away there,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20one of those, which she died in. OK, so Pat,
0:04:20 > 0:04:26your question. Nathuram Godse was executed after being found guilty
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Of assassinating which figure?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39Poor old Aldo Moro, I don't know if the individual who killed him has been identified.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43He was kidnapped. Martin Luther King was
0:04:43 > 0:04:48James Earl Ray. And Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Mahatma Gandhi is the right answer.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55So, Keith, get this right and catch up.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01The explorer David Livingstone lost partial use of his left arm due to an encounter with what creature?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I think a lion would have done more damage than one arm.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17Giraffes are quite difficult to encounter, so my answer would probably be elephant.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I can see the logic, but it's wrong. The answer is lion.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Get this right, Pat, and you win.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29In which city was George Washington inaugurated as President in 1789?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I find this a little bit tricky
0:05:35 > 0:05:41just because in the early days of the United States, they hopped about a bit, capital-wise,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44before settling on Washington, DC.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49I think New York had a fleeting spell as the main city.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55And Philadelphia was at the heart of drawing up of the constitution and various things like that.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02I don't think it was Boston, so I'll have to pick between New York and Philadelphia.
0:06:04 > 0:06:101789. So that's the first... the first term, first President.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'll go for Philadelphia.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Anyone know here? - I think it's New York.- It is.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Daphne's got it right. Philadelphia is incorrect. A chance for Keith,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25if you can get this one right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31Matyas Rakosi was seen as a Soviet puppet dictator of which country
0:06:31 > 0:06:33in the post-WWII era?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39M-A-T-Y-A-S
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and then R-A-K-O-S-I.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And all the As have an acute accent on them.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I'm drawn to Yugoslavia.
0:06:51 > 0:06:58For no other reason than I like the answer Yugoslavia, I'll choose Yugoslavia, please.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's not Yugoslavia. Was that the Tito era?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Yeah, Tito.- He went all that time up until the civil war?- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11So it is Hungary, Keith, which means you can't come back against Pat.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17He'll be in the final. I'm afraid to say you've been knocked out.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Please both come back to the studio.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26The challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost one so far.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Next subject is Film and TV.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Who would like this?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- OK... - I'll go for it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- Just take it, Brendan.- OK. Right into the breach. Well done.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43And against which Egghead? It can't be Pat, for whom History was a blur.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Chris?- Yeah?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Good choice. - Chris.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, Brendan against Chris. Film and TV?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I'm OK on TV. Old films I'm OK on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Kids' TV for some reason.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07OK, Film and TV and you have three multiple choice questions.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Brendan, the first or second set? - First, please.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19Here we go. Good luck. Which role in the 1978 film Grease is played by Stockard Channing?
0:08:24 > 0:08:29See, I'm not really a fan of musicals, if I'm honest.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35I don't know why, but I'm drawn to Frenchie, so I'll go with that one.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- Frenchie was in Grease, wasn't she? Were they all in Grease?- Yep. - Which one was it, Eggheads?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Rizzo.- Rizzo is the right answer.
0:08:44 > 0:08:471978. Oh, my goodness.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53That's a long time ago. The TV game show Takeshi's Castle was originally produced in which country?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01That is... Oh, it's one of those weird Japanese things. Japan.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Japan is the right answer.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Back to you, Brendan.
0:09:06 > 0:09:13Who played the policeman Charlie Barlow in the TV shows Z-Cars, Softly Softly and Barlow At Large?
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Again, I'm afraid this is going to have to be a guess.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Em...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I think I'm... I don't know again, I don't know why,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'm just drawn to this one. I'll go with Frank Windsor.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40I'm really sorry. It's wrong. It is before your time.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Stratford Johns. Stratford Johns is the answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:52Chris, get this right and you are in the final round. Jez Quigley, played by Lee Boardman,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55was a character in which TV soap?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03He was a very nasty drug dealer that Steve McDonald fell foul of in Coronation Street.
0:10:03 > 0:10:10Coronation Street is the right answer. So after two questions no way back for you, Brendan.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Chris has taken the round and will be in the final.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Both please come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Ralph, don't worry. The last team to win were down to two in the final.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27But any thought about possibly changing direction?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30No, I think we will plough ahead regardless.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33The war isn't lost yet.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We'll be here 'til the bitter end.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41And the Lancashire Hotpots had some of the same phrases and won
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- with one against five? - It was one, yes.- So...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49you're obviously seeking to model yourselves very precisely on them.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54You've lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58The next subject is Geography. Who'd like this one?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'll go for it if you want me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Joelle or Mary?- I'm rubbish at geography.- So am I!
0:11:05 > 0:11:11- - I could take it. - Go for it.- I'll volunteer. I can't do any worse than anybody else.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I don't know.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16What do you want to do, team?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I'll try it.- Go for it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Mary?- Go on, then.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Mary will take it. - Which Egghead?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Judith's good on geography. - They're all good.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- They're all better than me!- I'd never take Daphne on. Leaves Barry.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- What do we think?- Well, we could ask if we could take Jeremy on...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43You'd definitely win!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Do we think Barry, maybe? - Whichever.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- For Mary.- OK. So Mary from the Yorkshire Puddings against the man in pink,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Mary, you weren't too keen. - Not really!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I struggle to find my way home.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Are you not much travelled or...? - Oh, I've travelled quite a bit,
0:12:09 > 0:12:16- but I don't remember where places are.- If it's any consolation, I need someone else navigating.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22- Do you have a north, south, east, west thing in your head?- I have to hold maps the right way up
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- in the direction I am travelling. - Yes, and walk along them.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31I know exactly what you mean. Barry, have you a sense of direction?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's hopeless.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39There's a family joke that whichever direction I say, we always go the opposite way!
0:12:39 > 0:12:43All right, let's see how you cope. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Mary, first or second set?- I might as well carry on and go first.
0:12:51 > 0:12:58Good luck. The Italian port of Brindisi is located on which body of water?
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Well, it might help if I knew which side of Italy it was on.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Em...
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I'm going to have to run with the team here. It'll be a guess.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Em, I'll go for Adriatic, for no particular reason.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Adriatic is the right answer!
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Barry,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29in square miles, what is the approximate area of Singapore?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40It's certainly not 2,740. Singapore...
0:13:40 > 0:13:46That's a tough one, is that. It's a city state so that would put me towards the lower number,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48but is it as high as 274?
0:13:48 > 0:13:53It's across the Straits of Johor from Malaysia.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm not sure how big it is.
0:13:55 > 0:13:5727...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I'm really not sure.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06274 sounds too many. I'll go for 27.
0:14:06 > 0:14:1027 miles? I thought you were going to go down the middle there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14To be 27 miles square area, you'd have to be what?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Five by five?- Nine by three miles.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK, you're wrong.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21274.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Well, there we are, Mary.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27You're ahead. Let's just savour this moment.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30And Barry's had a difficult run recently as well,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32so knock him off balance now.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38The village of Pluckley, often described as the most haunted village in England,
0:14:38 > 0:14:39is in which county?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Oh, dear. I don't know it. I don't think I've ever heard of it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I think I will go straight down the middle and go for Norfolk.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Anyone on your team know? - Kent?- Kent is the answer.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Kent, Mary. OK, Barry, your chance to catch up then.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05In which European country is the Freetown of Christiania
0:15:05 > 0:15:08which was set up as a commune in the early 1970s
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and has since developed semi-legal status?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17The moment you said Christiania, I was thinking of Norway
0:15:17 > 0:15:20as that was the old name for Oslo.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25If it was set up as a commune,
0:15:25 > 0:15:30that tends to suggest an ex-communist country, so I'll go for Poland.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Poland?! OK...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You started with the Oslo thing
0:15:36 > 0:15:40and I thought you'd give us Denmark which is the right answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Oh, I am having some fun(!)- You are.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48So you're still ahead, Mary. This is your chance to take the round.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Denmark was the answer, not Poland.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54We're going to have a big cheer if you get this, Mary.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Gasherbrum is the name given to a group of peaks in which mountain range?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Gasher... G-A-S-H-E-R-B-R-U-M.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Gasherbrum.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I wish spelling it would have helped.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19I can't really make anything out of the name and what language it is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Again I'll go straight down the middle for the Caucasus.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29The only clue, as somebody who also doesn't know the answer,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32is a "brum" in the question and a "rum" in the answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37It's Karakorum. I don't know if they are by any chance related.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Not Caucasus. Karakorum is the answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44So Barry has a chance to draw level in a moment of stunning drama.
0:16:44 > 0:16:52The group of islands known as the Recherche Archipelago lies off the coast of which country?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Goodness me! Could you spell that, please?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02"Recherche" is R-E-C-H-E-R-C-H-E.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Recherche Archipelago.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Well, "Recherche" sounds very French to me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14As a large chunk of Canada was once owned by France, I'll go for Canada.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Oh, Barry, how long since you got three wrong in a row?- On Geography?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24It's wrong. It's wrong. It's Australia. Well done, Mary.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Here come The Yorkshire Puddings, Eggheads. Are you ready?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Mary, you'll be in the final. Brilliantly played.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Barry, you're a goner. We thought that jinx had gone.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I was just kicking myself over Christiania.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45All the kings of Denmark were Frederick or Christian, so it had to be Denmark.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Please, both of you, come back and we will play the next round.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So, Mary, how does it feel to beat the Egghead?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm stunned.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- So am I.- The challengers have lost two brains, but the Eggheads have now lost a brain.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Look how cross Barry is! It will be Music now, our last subject before the final.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Who would like this?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- That's obviously me now.- It's got to be you.- Joelle on Music.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You're saving Ralph for the final round?
0:18:14 > 0:18:20- I said this was my strongest subject, so I've got a lot to live up to, I think.- OK, Joelle.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Which Egghead would you like to take on? It can be Daphne or Judith.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- It's got to be Judith, hasn't it? - Or Daphne?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Go for it.- Yeah.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- I'd prefer Judith. - Go for Judith then.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38- I'll take Judith then, please. - Joelle from The Yorkshire Puddings against Judith...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- In a musical mood, I think? - I hope so.- ..from the Eggheads.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:18:45 > 0:18:51- So, Joelle, you are also in information management? - Yeah, that's right.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- It is part of your job to play the recorder with your nose? - No, not at all.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I used to play the recorder when I was younger
0:18:59 > 0:19:05and I saw someone do it on television years ago and I thought, "I'll try that."
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I have been known to play the recorder with my nose, yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13- Have you brought one with you?- No. - How have we missed that opportunity?
0:19:13 > 0:19:20- What kind of music do you like? - A bit of a variety. As long as it's not classical. Cross fingers!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24OK, Judith, where are you in your music education at the moment?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28At the bottom of it. I mean, very poor.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31You're not into JLS or Slipknot?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- No. Frankly! - OK, three questions on Music.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Joelle, you can choose the first or the second set. Good luck.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I might as well follow the team and take the first set, please.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Here we go. First Music question.
0:19:47 > 0:19:55Which group had UK hit singles in the 1980s with Jump (For My Love), Automatic and I'm So Excited?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'm glad we've got multiple choice.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I know that Girls Aloud did a re-make of Jump
0:20:06 > 0:20:09and I believe it was The Pointer Sisters.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Nicely done. It was The Pointer Sisters.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Would you have known that, Judith?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- No. - You're not saying much today.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- Are you cross?- Not at all. Just rather tense cos I find Music rather difficult.- Here's your question.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Keith Flint and Liam Howlett became famous as members of which group
0:20:27 > 0:20:31that had two UK No.1 singles in 1996?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I really don't know.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- The Chemical Brothers.- That's not the right answer. Do you know, Joelle?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I would've said The Chemical Brothers, so maybe it's The Prodigy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53The Prodigy is the right answer, Judith.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Joelle, in the musical Les Miserables,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01the song On My Own is a solo for which character?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I'll be totally honest. I have not got a clue.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So I'm going to have to have a guess
0:21:13 > 0:21:16and I will go for...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Eponine.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I heard the... What was that, the laugh of "she's got it right"?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Yes.- Well done. You have, Joelle. Eponine is the right answer.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It's about time one of your team's guesses went to the right answer.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Well done.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Judith, if you don't get this right, you'll be knocked out.- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Dancing With Tears In My Eyes was a UK top ten single in 1984 for which group?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Well, my guessing will have to come up trumps now.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I've no idea. Eurythmics.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Judith, you're wrong. It was Ultravox. Well done, Joelle.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04There's no way back for our Egghead.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Judith, you've been knocked out on Music. Joelle, you're in the final.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Please, both of you, come back to us and we will play that final round.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18This is an unusual one. So far, only three correct answers from the Eggheads in the whole show.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22You've matched them pound for pound, so let's see how you do.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:22:31 > 0:22:36so Brendan and Keith from The Yorkshire Puddings and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38would you please leave the studio?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42So, Ralph and Mary, you are husband and wife?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- We are.- And Joelle, you work with...?- I work with Ralph.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50OK, so you're playing to win The Yorkshire Puddings £2,000.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56Daphne, Chris and Pat, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Although after today's performance, I don't know about that!
0:23:00 > 0:23:06I will ask each team three questions in turn on General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12Yorkshire Puddings, the question is, are your three brains able to beat the Eggheads' three?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Good luck. It's been an exciting contest. Here we go.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Jose Mourinho worked as an assistant and interpreter
0:23:25 > 0:23:30for which English football manager in Spain and Portugal in the 1990s?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37You look like you know this.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41As a lifelong Newcastle supporter, I know that is Bobby Robson.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Bobby Robson is the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Bless him!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49OK, your question, Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55Who wrote the children's classic The Owl Service, basing it on traditional Welsh legends?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Alan Garner.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Alan Garner?- Definitely.- OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07That is Alan Garner.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Alan Garner is the right answer. Now they've unleashed Daphne.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14So will that change things? Here is your question.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Which novel by Ben Elton was adapted by him into a play
0:24:19 > 0:24:23which won the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Crikey!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Obviously, he wrote all three of them.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- They're all Ben Elton.- They're all Ben Elton.- Ben Elton, authored by.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh, dear. Which one?
0:24:38 > 0:24:401999...
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Dead Famous is more recent than that, so it's Stark or Popcorn.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49We're going to rule out Dead Famous because we think that's more recent.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- So now we're into educated guessing.- Yeah.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Popcorn?- My gut says Popcorn.- OK. - Not that I know it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03We're by no means certain, but we'll try Popcorn.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Popcorn is the right answer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Well done. Playing a little bit more sure-footedly, Yorkshire Puddings.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Let's see what happens to the Eggheads.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Will they slip up on a pudding?
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Who became President of the Woodland Trust in 2004?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Clive Anderson.- I think so. - He's always going on about it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- He's put some trees in Argyll, I think.- Yeah. It's Clive Anderson.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Clive Anderson.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Clive Anderson is the right answer.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Two each.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Third question. If you get this right, then they're under pressure.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47If not, they have the contest in their hands.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Which vegetable is the principal ingredient of Saxe-Coburg soup?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- I think I've heard this somewhere before.- Have you? Saxe-Coburg...
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I'm sure I've heard this somewhere before.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I can't imagine a Brussels sprout soup.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- I was thinking parsnip. - Parsnip or carrot?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's one of them things I have heard before.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I would say "parsnip", but I'm not 100% sure.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's just something I've heard.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24OK, we're trusting to luck here.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28We're not certain, but we're going to try "parsnip".
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Let me see if the Eggheads know. Saxe-Coburg soup?
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Daphne?- I'd have gone for Brussels sprouts, but I don't know why.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41You are mystical in your guessing. Brussels sprout is right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I don't know why. Daphne, I don't know how you do it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48So, two out of three to you.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If they get three out of three, they've won. Here is your question.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58In which US state did John Harvey Kellogg run the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00a centre for dietary reform?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- It's Michigan.- Yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Sorry. It's Michigan.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15The Battle Creek Sanitarium was indeed in Michigan.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You've got it right. Congratulations. You have won.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I thought that was to be, I thought you were going to get it there.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Your fortunes turned so dramatically halfway through the game.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Yes, it was just a little bit unlucky to get that question at the very end.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43They would've gone Brussels sprout, I think. We don't know how Daphne's guessing works.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48If you can ever get into that particular bit of IT, you can market it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Well done, Eggheads, on pulling it out of the bag there with Michigan.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00They reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05You won't be going home with the £2,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:14Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
