0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Five Marketeers.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This team of colleagues all work together in the marketing department
0:00:45 > 0:00:49of an association for accountants based in Chesterfield.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50So, let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Steven, I'm 20, and I'm a marketing assistant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, my name's Sue, I'm 40, and I'm Head of Marketing.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Luke, I'm 36 years old, and I'm a marketing consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Tom, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a marketing assistant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Susan, I'm 50, and I'm Communications Coordinator.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Steven and team, great to have you here.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Nice being here!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- You're accountants who work with accountants, right?- Yes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16We're an association of accountants,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19so we help them become more profitable,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22make their practices more enjoyable to run,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and save them tax, um, just save them money, really.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- So, accountancy can be enjoyable, can it?- It can at times, yes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Rarely! - That's completely a revelation!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You were an accountant, weren't you, Barry?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I've never practised as one, but I do have an accountancy degree.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Cos you were at some point aiming to be an accountant...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43No, I just wanted to understand a bit more about business
0:01:43 > 0:01:44and how it worked.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46What's the famous thing about auditors?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- People who found accountancy too exciting.- Yes, I have heard that!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yeah. OK, and what made you assemble this team, Steven?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Well, there's five of us in the marketing team,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and we were snowbound at a marketing event,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and a few of us managed to get home in a 4x4.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04It had a fancy TV and we were watching the Eggheads,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and I just brought it up as a joke, really.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Then one day I just said, "Oh, by the way, I entered us," and here we are.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Fantastic!
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- So snowbound at a marketing event? - Yes.- This is a good story!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It's like the plot from Misery, isn't it?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22OK, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28So, Five Marketeers,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35so £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I see you've already taken the tax off that in your minds!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The first head-to-head battle will be on Music,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- so which of you would like this one, challengers?- It's Sue.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- It's going to be you! - That's me, Jeremy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, Sue on Music, against which Egghead?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You've got the pick of the crop here.- Barry?- Barry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52OK, Barry. Barry, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56You want our undercover accountant?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Barry on Music against Sue from the Five Marketeers.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So Sue, as well as being an accountant, you love your music?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- I do.- Tell us what you're into.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Um, classic rock mainly, but quite a lot of other stuff as well,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and my guilty pleasure is Take That.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Well, they are very, very successful again, aren't they?- They are indeed.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23And classic rock meaning AC/DC and Motorhead or a bit more Bon Jovi?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yeah, not particularly Motorhead, that's a little bit too heavy,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29but I love AC/DC, Foo Fighters, although they're not so classic,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32but Bon Jovi, Aerosmith's my favourite group.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Do you do any air guitar, Barry, yourself?- I'm afraid I do!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It's mostly to Dire Straits music.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I wondered what that thumping sound was in your dressing room!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45OK, I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Music in turn.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Sue, I know you know that.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49You can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Here we go with your first question, Sue.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01How old was Michael Jackson at the time of his death in 2009?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I actually do know this one.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08He was 50, Jeremy.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You're right, he was 50.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Barry, your question.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15According to the lyrics of Elvis Presley's hit
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Return To Sender, as well as "no such number,"
0:04:18 > 0:04:20"no such zone" and "return to sender,"
0:04:20 > 0:04:23what does the recipient write on the letter?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Ah-h-h, "no such number."
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's "address unknown!"
0:04:32 > 0:04:34# She wrote upon it... #
0:04:34 > 0:04:36That's right, "address unknown."
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Not doing any more!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41No matter how much you may beg me, CJ! Sue, your question.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46What is the title of James Blunt's third studio album released in 2010?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I was hoping for a non-recent one.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58This will be a pure guess, cos I don't really know James Blunt.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I'm going to go down the middle with Some Kind Of Wonderful, please.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It is not Some kind Of Wonderful. It's Some Kind Of Trouble.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So, Barry, your chance to take the lead.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12In the 1970s, Mike Oldfield had a UK top ten single with a version
0:05:12 > 0:05:14of which Christmas carol?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, I was hoping this would be a question on Tubular Bells
0:05:22 > 0:05:24or Hergest Ridge!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Not sure on this one.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's again going to have to be a guess.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33But given Mike Oldfield's penchant for having strange names,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'll go for In Dulci Jubilo.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Did you say "given his pension?"
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- Penchant.- Oh, penchant!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I thought you'd slipped back into accountancy mode there!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- You answer is In Dulci Dubilo. - Mm-hmm.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And it's right, Barry! You've taken the lead.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, Sue, you need to get this one right.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Doing What Comes Naturally
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and The Girl That I Marry are songs from which musical?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Again, I'm not too sure on this one,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09but I think it might be Annie Get Your Gun.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13If Daphne was here, I would ask her,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15cos it's her scene. Do you know, Barry?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It's Annie get Your Gun.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Annie Get your Gun is right, Sue. So you've got two points.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Barry's got two. If he gets his third question right,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24he will be in the final, though.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28So Solid Crew's 2002 UK hit single
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Ride Wid Us samples the theme music from which TV show?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Gosh, you don't honestly expect me to know the answer to this one?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Ride With Us.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, I don't think it's Airwolf then, if you're riding.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It could be the A-Team in their van or it could be Knight Rider,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54but I've got an inkling that it was Knight Rider,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55so I'll go for Knight Rider.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58And Knight Rider has got the word ride in as well.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's the right answer, Barry, so you're through to the final.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Sue, sorry, you've been knocked out, three points to two.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Just saying the scores cos I know you like it
0:07:07 > 0:07:09exact in the accountants' team.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Bad luck, but it's early days.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Well, bad luck, Sue.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Steven, any thoughts now about rearranging the deckchairs?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23What deckchairs? THEY LAUGH
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- The tactics, you know? - Oh, right, no.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29We thought we wouldn't win, so...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Don't say that!- Listen, you can win!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- It was only four games ago, wasn't it?- Oh, yes!- Got taken apart
0:07:36 > 0:07:39by a team that make Blackpool rock for a living.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:43 > 0:07:44the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The next subject is Sport. Now, who would like this?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Tom.- Oh, yeah, Tom.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, so Tom on Sport, and which Egghead, Tom?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- SUSAN:- What do you think? Judith?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55CJ?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57CJ.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Pat, Pat.- It's got to be! - You reckon?- Pat, Pat, yeah.- Pat.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Shall we go for Pat? - I'll take Pat on.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Pat, please.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07So, Tom from the Five Marketeers against Pat from the Eggheads,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and the subject is Sport. Please go to the Question Room.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Tom, do you like Sport?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I am very happy to have this category, yes, Jeremy.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18As a category and also as maybe something you watch on weekends?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Yes. Plenty of it. Football, mainly.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Erm, I'm a big Leeds United fan, so, yes.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27One day somebody will arrive and they'll say they like a really unusual sport,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30but for ages now it's just been football, hasn't it, Pat?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Yes, yeah. That's true.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34We haven't had anyone say they like, I don't know, hurling or...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37The hurling enthusiasts have been notable by their absence.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40When you learn your lists, Pat, for these quizzes, as I'm sure you do...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Oh, dear me, Jeremy! - ..although you deny it!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Which is the most obscure sport in the Olympics that you had to
0:08:46 > 0:08:47get across?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I forced myself to read about Olympic handball.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- I can't watch it, though, because I find it very tedious.- Handball?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Is that where you throw things...?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's where a team throw the ball to each other
0:08:57 > 0:08:58and finally fling it into a goal.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's a bit obscure.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's very popular on the continent, but it's not big in England.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04You any good on handball, Tom?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- I can't say I am, no, to be honest, Jeremy.- OK, let's see if it comes up!
0:09:08 > 0:09:09You never know!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Do you want the first or the second set of questions, Tom?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13I shall go for first, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Here we go, and good luck to you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21According to the rules of darts, for a standard game,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24the board should be set up so that the centre of the bull's-eye
0:09:24 > 0:09:26is how high off the floor?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I do watch quite a lot of darts, and I have got a dartboard at home,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and I haven't got a clue what the answer is.
0:09:40 > 0:09:424'8 seems a little bit too small.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Erm, 6'8 seems a little bit too big.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Yeah, on that basis, I'm going to go for 5'8. Straight down the middle.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, Kevin's been handy at darts in the past.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Kevin?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57That's right, yeah, 5'8.
0:09:57 > 0:10:005'8 is the right answer, well done.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03You ever get a 180, Kevin?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04I have, many, many years ago,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07but I haven't actually played it much in recent years.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11When I was in my late teens, early twenties, I was reasonable,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but as I say, the magic has gone a bit.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yeah. I can't think of another question.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18It's like that, darts, isn't it?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It is a bit, yes.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Pat, the football team Dynamo Kiev
0:10:23 > 0:10:25play in which country's Premier League?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Well, all those countries have active soccer leagues.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37But I think Dynamo Kiev scrap it out with Shakhtar Donetsk
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and the lads in the Ukraine.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Ukraine is the right answer, Pat, well done!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, one point each, and we go back to you, Tom.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50Tiger Woods won the 2000 US Open by a Major record margin
0:10:50 > 0:10:51of how many strokes?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- And, obviously, the word Major's got a capital M there.- Right, OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm pretty sure it's not five. That's not enough.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04He won by more than that, I think.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I've got a feeling he really did win by quite a big margin.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Well, obviously he did, cos that's the question!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm not going to go with 15, actually, I'm going to go with ten.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Straight down the middle again.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Ah, but it's wrong!
0:11:19 > 0:11:2115 was the right answer!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24The logic worked for the darts, but not for Tiger.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Pat, here's your question.
0:11:26 > 0:11:301-1. England international cricketer Jonathan Trott
0:11:30 > 0:11:33made his first class debut in 2003 for which county?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I don't know much about Jonathan Trott.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Who would he play for?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44A lot of overseas players play for Lancashire,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48but for some reason, I don't think I fancy that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50This is entirely guesswork.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I think I'll go for Warwickshire, but it's really a guess.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll go for Warwickshire.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Barry likes that. Barry?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It is Warwickshire, yes. - Warwickshire's right. Well done.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05So, he's taken the lead, Tom. You've got to get this one right.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09The Irish journalist Michael Morris was president of which
0:12:09 > 0:12:12sporting body from 1972-1980?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well, I've not got a clue, to be honest.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I possibly would have heard it if it was FIFA.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26So I'm going to rule that one out.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30RFU. You know, obviously rugby's big in Ireland.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Erm, so for that reason, I'll go for the RFU.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It's a guess.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's not the RFU, I'm afraid.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's the IOC - International Olympic Committee. Is that right?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- CJ:- Yep.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So, sorry, you have been knocked out by Pat, and that means
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Pat will be in the final, Tom, and you won't be.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Do, please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53OK, as it stands,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58The Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00The next subject is Geography.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Now, who would like this?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Tom?! THEY LAUGH
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Tom, you've been! Your second choice. What a shame!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And you've seen how bad I am at Sport, so...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, no, you weren't that bad at Sport, but it can't be you, anyway.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- No.- It's got to be either Susan or Luke or Steven himself.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16What do you think? It's got to be you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Yeah.- Steven from the Five Marketeers against which Egghead?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Why do I think I know who you're going to choose?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Judith, please.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25OK, we'll find out why in just a sec.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Judith from the Eggheads against Steven,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, Steven, I said I thought you were going to choose Judith,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36because I think you were just determined to, weren't you?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Yes, I was hoping that I'd get Judith, that she hadn't gone already.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I either wanted Kevin or Judith, and Kevin's a bit...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45He's a quiz Goliath, and Judith is as well,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49but Kevin's a bit scarier, so...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, yeah, Judith is a quiz Goliath in her own tidy way.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54In my own small way.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57In your own small way, when there is money on offer!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, thanks, Jeremy!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01When you can stir yourself!
0:14:01 > 0:14:06OK, I will ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08and Steven, would you like the first or the second set of questions?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'll go first, please.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Here we go with your first question. Good luck.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20The Shrine of the Bab is a feature of the Port of Haifa
0:14:20 > 0:14:21in which country?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Could I go second, please?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I've never heard of it, actually.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34They have a lot of shrines in Egypt.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38They probably have shrines in all of them, actually. Um...
0:14:38 > 0:14:43It's a pure guess, but my eye is drawn to Egypt,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46so that's what I'll say.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Egypt.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50OK, it's Israel, Steven. I'm sorry.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52But you're only 20, right?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57You haven't been there yet, so... Judith, also in her prime -
0:14:57 > 0:15:00the Sulu Sea is part of which ocean?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- S-UL-U?- S-U-L-U.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Oh, God.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Erm, when in doubt...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I mean, I've heard of the Sulu Sea
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and it's gone out of my head where it is.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'm going to risk the Pacific.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Pacific is the right answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27They have this thing about going for the Pacific when it comes up.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Oh, it's so galling when in works.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32OK, Steven...
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Sumburgh Airport is the main airport serving which island?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46I didn't think, I'm probably wrong, that they had an airport in Guernsey.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Erm...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I've not heard it on the Isle of Wight.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54So, I'm going to say, Shetland.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well done, Steven, Shetland is the right answer.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00How does that feel, your first question right on Eggheads?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01I at least wanted to get one right today.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You have done, you have done.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Judith, Jesmond, Haymarket and Ilford Road
0:16:07 > 0:16:10are stations on which city's underground railway system?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Well, not London.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Erm, I'm not sure.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I think it might be Newcastle.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Newcastle Upon Tyne is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Judith has two and you have one, Steven.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32That means, this one you have to get right or she has won the round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Good luck.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Balochistan is the name of an arid, mountainous region
0:16:38 > 0:16:43that includes parts of Iran, Pakistan and which other country?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Mmm...
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I was actually looking up about mountains
0:16:53 > 0:16:56in preparation for the show.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02And with a lot of mountain ranges, it's crossed over in Afghanistan.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Whether that's just a coincidence, I'm not sure.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's going to be another guess, unfortunately.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Erm...
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm going to say, Afghanistan.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16OK...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19A good bit of logic there from your revision.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20- Eggheads...- Afghanistan.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Afghanistan is the right answer, Steve. Well played.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Judith, your question for the round.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30The Pelagie Islands in the Mediterranean Sea
0:17:30 > 0:17:32are territories of which country?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I think it's, erm... It doesn't sound Greek to me.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Or, French. So, I'm going to go for Italy.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Judith, you have got three out of three, Italy is the right answer.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Sorry, Steven, you've been knocked out. What a blow!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Do both of you come back and we'll play the next round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57The Challengers have lost three brains from the final round,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00the Eggheads have lost no brains. Let's see what happens now,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02the last subject is Politics.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Oh, no!- Who would like this?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- OK, which one?- Susan or Luke?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I think a process of elimination, I'll go.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Go on, then, Luke.- Well volunteered.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13So it's going to be Luke against CJ or Kevin.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I'll take on Kevin. Kevin, go on.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Luke from the Five Marketeers, Kevin on Politics? Let's see what happens.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24To ensure there's no conferring, would you take your positions
0:18:24 > 0:18:27in the Question Room.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I will ask each of you three questions on Politics in turn.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Luke, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'll go second, please.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40OK, so Kevin on Politics, here we go.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42What was the term for the method of allocating votes
0:18:42 > 0:18:45at a Labour Party conference whereby unions cast the whole
0:18:45 > 0:18:50of their affiliated vote behind a proposal?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I don't think I've heard of the other two terms
0:18:57 > 0:19:00but there was a Block Vote. I'll go for Block Vote.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Block Vote is the right answer. Yes, well done.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Luke, your question.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09The Consumer Prices Index or CPI is used to measure the level of what?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It's certainly not immigration and I don't think it's taxation.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So, process of elimination, inflation.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Elimination, inflation...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Correct.- Thank you very much.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Inflation is the correct answer, well done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Kevin...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31One of Peter Mandelson's first jobs
0:19:31 > 0:19:35was as a producer on which television programme?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Mmm... I mean they're all of a reasonable vintage, aren't they?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Newsnight is younger than the other two.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48But, erm...
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I don't know, I'll.. Weekend World was presented for a long time
0:19:52 > 0:19:55by Brian Walden, who had strong Labour credentials.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58On that basis, I'll go for Weekend World.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Yeah, Weekend World is right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- I think Bryan Gould was on it at the same time.- Yes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07A whole load of them, actually, on that famous programme.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- I wish he'd got that wrong, Luke. - So, do I!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You had the edge there and you could have streaked through.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17In England and Wales, justices of the peace
0:20:17 > 0:20:20are appointed on behalf of the Crown by which cabinet member?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I don't think it will be the Home Secretary.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Er, Civil Service Minister sounds logical.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Based on that, I'm going to go for Lord Chancellor.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Based on the Civil Service Minister sounding logical?- Yes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40LAUGHTER
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Well, I'm glad you did, you got it right. Well done.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46OK, third question. Kevin...
0:20:46 > 0:20:52In 2010 Doris Leuthard became president of the Federal Council
0:20:52 > 0:20:53of which country?
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Well, Sweden has a prime minister and cabinet arrangement.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Slovenia, I believe, has both a president and a prime minister.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Switzerland is a federation
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and she's got a good Swiss sounding name there,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12so we'll say, Switzerland.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Switzerland is the right answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18You've got three out of three, which he's made a habit of doing, Luke.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21You need to get this question right or you'll be knocked out.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26What position on the Opposition front bench did Enoch Powell hold
0:21:26 > 0:21:31at the time of his infamous 1968 Rivers Of Blood speech?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39A very infamous speech.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So infamous, I don't know the answer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Erm...
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I'd eliminate Health Secretary.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I'm trying to think of a lot of the large chunks of the speech.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I'm trying to think of what kind of...
0:21:56 > 0:22:02..position of the Shadow Cabinet he'd hold to make those comments.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10It's going to be a guess. I'm going for Chancellor. Shadow Chancellor.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I don't know if his job title had anything to do with the speech.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I suppose, if you put the two together
0:22:17 > 0:22:19you might come up with Shadow Defence Secretary.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Shadow Defence Secretary is the answer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It's not Shadow Chancellor.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Kevin has won the round,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28as he tends to do with alarming regularity.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31He'll be in the final, and I'm afraid you won't be.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Do come back and we'll play the final round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37This is what we've been playing towards,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40it is time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:42 > 0:22:44won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50So, pains me to say it, Steven, Sue, Luke and Tom,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52from the Five Marketeers, who are going to go down to one!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00All right, Susan, you're playing to win the Five Marketeers,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03the other four, £4,000.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15The questions are general knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Susan, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads five?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Would you like to fire away? - Yes, I'll go first, please.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Here's your first question, Sue.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich, who died in 1676,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35was the father of which historical figure?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Sorry, could you repeat his name.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich ...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I'm assuming it was Russia.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Genghis Khan, I don't think, was Russia as it was.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Ivan The Terrible, I have a feeling, was earlier.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57But I could be wrong.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm going for Peter The Great.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Peter The Great is the right answer. Susan, well done.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05They are pleased backstage. Eggheads, your question.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08A statue by Joseph Boehm of which scientist
0:24:08 > 0:24:11is prominently displayed at the Natural History Museum?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Boehm is spelt, B-O-E-H-M.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Does anybody just... - Has anyone been?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I have, but it's years and years, I have to admit.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- If it's the Natural History Museum.. - You have to assume it's Darwin.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Logic says Darwin, doesn't it? - But it's not guaranteed.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34There's no particular... I mean, Herschel was astronomy and physics.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Boyle was chemistry.- Yeah. It's got to be Darwin.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I think it's got to be Darwin.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And it's the first question, obvious answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- I think we'll have to go for it. - Darwin, guys, OK.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We will go for Charles Darwin, please.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Charles Darwin is correct.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52OK, one point each. Back to you, Susan.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Which actor, a BAFTA Rising Star award winner,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58directed the films Adulthood and 4, 3, 2, 1?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Erm...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09As far as I know, Matt Smith hasn't directed a film.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15John Simm, again, I haven't heard of anything. Erm...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I think Noel Clarke has, so I'll go for Noel Clarke.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Well played, you're right again.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Noel Clarke, it is. Two out of two.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25This is getting interesting.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30The Eggheads just starting to sweat very gently under the lights.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33American Smooth is the name given to a category of dances
0:25:33 > 0:25:36in American-style ballroom competitions that comprises
0:25:36 > 0:25:42the Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Tango and which other?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I am learning ballroom dancing at the moment
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- and I think American Smooth is a Quickstep.- Do you?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yes, because that's always classified alongside the Waltz.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Oh, right, OK.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Unless anybody has any objections.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00No, not really.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I think it's a Quickstep, I'm not 100% certain,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05but I think it's a Quickstep.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I mean, the Foxtrot is just a development of the Quickstep?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14The Quickstep is more of a smoother dance than the Foxtrot, anyway.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Barry, who is learning ballroom dancing,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20has advised us it is a Quickstep.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Anyone else have an opinion?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- None whatsoever.- Nothing at all.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So we're happy to go with Barry's expertise.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29You shouldn't be, because it's wrong! It's Foxtrot.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30I am sorry, chaps.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- It's all right.- I thought it was Quickstep.- We didn't know.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Well, well, well... They've fallen over
0:26:36 > 0:26:38their own shoelaces.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Sprawled on the dance floor.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Susan, you have a chance to take the money for your lovely team,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46the Five Marketeers. Down to one...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50If you get this question right, you've won the contest.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Julian Mitchell's play, Another Country,
0:26:52 > 0:26:57is based on the early life of which figure from 20th century history?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04If you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06OK, erm...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Another Country, erm...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Obviously, they're all spy-related...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Erm...
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I feel it could be any of them.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24But... I'm going to go for...
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Guy Burgess.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30What's your logic there?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I may be wrong, did he defect to the Soviet Union?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I could be wrong, but I'm going for him.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39If you've got this right, you've won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40The Eggheads are all here
0:27:40 > 0:27:45in their combined massed forces, their massive intellects.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Eggheads, is she right?- Yep.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Congratulations, Susan, you're right, it's Guy Burgess.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- You've won!- Thank you.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59- Well...- I'm surprised.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's just like... Bang!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04You were completely silent on the end of the table
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and you come in and storm the whole thing.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Were you the secret weapon?
