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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Their quiz pedigree is well known as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are the New Mill Males. This team all sing together
0:00:42 > 0:00:47in the same male-voice choir, based in New Mill, near Holmfirth. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Rupert, I'm 66 and I'm a manufacturer's agent.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm John, I'm 62 and I'm a retail management consultant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Terry, I'm 72, I'm a retired chartered engineer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, my name is Tom, I'm 62 years old
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and I'm a retired teacher of art and drama.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm John, I'm 65, and I'm a retired project manager.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Rupert and team, welcome to you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- And Holmfirth is in Yorkshire. - It is indeed.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Not any other county.- Correct.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Earlier, I made the mistake of saying Lancashire. I've not been forgiven yet, have I?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- ALL: No. - I will be gradually, or...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Probably not.- OK, fine.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- You don't quiz together?- No.- Have you quizzed at all individually?
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Terry has.- A bit. But it's mainly music that brings you together.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- Correct.- I can't let you get on with the game without hearing some of that lovely music.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Would you mind?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47# Hello
0:01:47 > 0:01:48# Hello
0:01:48 > 0:01:52# Hello
0:01:52 > 0:01:53# Hello from Yorkshire
0:01:53 > 0:01:58# Love and kisses What a jolly caper this is
0:01:58 > 0:02:02# We're not very good at quizzes
0:02:02 > 0:02:05# But we'll have a go! #
0:02:05 > 0:02:11Great! And you may win, you know?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Don't do yourselves down. Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:16 > 0:02:19for our challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26New Mill Males, I can tell you the Eggheads have won just the last game
0:02:26 > 0:02:29which means that £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Would you like to get started? - Certainly.- All right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We'll have another song if you win.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37First head-to-head battle is on Film & Television.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Who would like this?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We had a talk about this earlier, didn't we?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45That were John Senior.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Yes, yes.- John S, OK.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Against which Egghead, John? You've got the classic line-up here.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Er, Chris, please.- Right.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58John Senior from the New Mill Males. Chris?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Yep?- Good one for you?- Good one. - Get your round out the way, OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Chris from the Eggheads on Film & TV.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I will ask each of you three multiple-choice questions
0:03:12 > 0:03:14on Film & Television in turn.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and appears in the final. The other person is knocked out.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Here we go, good luck. Who played the female lead
0:03:30 > 0:03:33opposite Johnny Depp in the 2010 film The Tourist?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I don't think it was Cameron Diaz.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Angelina Jolie, hmm.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'm going to discount Hilary Swank.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Maybe go back to Cameron Diaz, I'll say.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55OK, I'm afraid it was Angelina Jolie.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Angelina was demanding your attention but you fell for Cameron.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, Chris, your question.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05An iconic image of a young man watching a woman
0:04:05 > 0:04:09putting on a stocking is associated with which Oscar-winning 1967 film?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18That is Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22It is indeed. It's not Benjamin Braddock's leg?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26It's supposed to be Anne Bancroft's leg, as Mrs Whatever-her-name-is
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- but it was actually a model. - Chris, you got it right, well done.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36John, here's your question. In 2001, which puppet character guest-starred
0:04:36 > 0:04:40on An Audience With Kylie Minogue
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and performed a version of the duet Especially For You?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Oh...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I think...Orville, I don't think would do it. Er...
0:04:54 > 0:05:00I don't know why, I think that was Kermit the Frog.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Great, same shade of green as your jacket, I think.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Kermit is the right answer, well done.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's going well here. Chris, let's see
0:05:07 > 0:05:11if he's got you on the ropes. What was the nickname of the character
0:05:11 > 0:05:15played by Michael Starke in the TV series Brookside?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Oh, he was a window-cleaner, wasn't he? He was called Sinbad.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You don't like Brookside, do you? - I've never watched it,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- I just know the name Michael Starke and Sinbad.- Sinbad is right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29John, your third question.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Who played the title role of King Edward VIII
0:05:32 > 0:05:37in the 1978 British TV drama Edward And Mrs Simpson?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Not John Hurt.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Er...Jeremy Irons, no...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I'm pretty certain it was Edward Fox.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Edward Fox is the right answer, well done to you, John.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Let's see if Chris takes the round
0:05:57 > 0:06:00with his answer now. Which American film director made the films
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Glen Or Glenda and Bride Of The Monster?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12They were some of the worst films ever made.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15There's a good biopic of this character, starring Johnny Depp.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It's Ed Wood.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Ed Wood is right. I've always wondered,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- is that biopic worth seeing?- It's got a very good performance
0:06:22 > 0:06:24by Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi...
0:06:24 > 0:06:30- OK.- ..who was found as a derelict, drug-dependent has-been by Ed Wood
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and put into these awful films. Rather tragically,
0:06:33 > 0:06:38he died halfway through making Plan 9 From Outer Space.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42He was replaced by his dentist, going around with a cloak over his face.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You've got the round with Ed Wood and the background information.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Sorry, John, you've been knocked out by our Egghead there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56But you put up a good fight. Do both come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Science.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Who would like this?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- We're pretty settled on that, aren't we?- Yes.- Terry, go on. - Terry on Science?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Yes, short straw.- Terry, which Egghead?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Who would you like to put a Bunsen burner under?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Judith.- Judith, it's you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Lovely.- On Science.- Yes.- Agreeable?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- I like science, actually. - Judith on Science
0:07:23 > 0:07:25versus Terry from the New Mill Males.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Terry, is your hobby really powerlifting?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35It was. I'm a little bit old in the tooth now,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- bit long in the tooth, rather. - That's weightlifting but suddenly?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41No, it's lifting heavier weights than weightlifting.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Terry, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Here we go with your first question.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Theta rhythms are waves generated in which part of the body?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I'm not aware that there was any rhythms in the liver,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05unless you've had too much to drink.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's a guess,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I would go for brain because there's more rhythms in there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I don't know...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Yes, brain, final answer. - Brain is your answer
0:08:15 > 0:08:18and brain is correct, Terry. OK...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Judith, your question.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23See if you can get your thetan rhythms onto this one, Judith.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27In the periodic table, what is the atomic number of nitrogen?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Nitrogen, well it's definitely not 1, because that's...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38That's...well, never mind.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I must think.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think it's 7.
0:08:43 > 0:08:457 is the right answer.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It's also my lucky number, actually.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49The periodic table, Terry.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53These quizzers know it, that's what's so scary.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Here is your question, second question.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00The American physicist Samuel T Cohen, who died in 2010,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02was the inventor of which weapon?
0:09:06 > 0:09:102010's quite recently. The bouncing bomb was Barnes Wallis, wasn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:15So it's either cluster or the neutron bomb.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I would...I would go for neutron bomb.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Neutron bomb...
0:09:21 > 0:09:22is the correct answer.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26OK, Judith, your question.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30The zonule of Zinn is a ligament found in which part of the body?
0:09:33 > 0:09:38I mean, your eye is very movable. It might need a ligament.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42I think I'm going to try eye.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The eye is correct.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Terry, see how your zonules
0:09:47 > 0:09:51do now. In the 1930s, which city
0:09:51 > 0:09:56was the site of a prototype of the Bennie Railplane,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00in which passenger carriages were suspended by a single overhead rail?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I'm struggling, I don't really know. I doubt if it's Cardiff.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Liverpool is a large port but so is Glasgow.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- It was in the 1930s, did you say, Jeremy?- In the 1930s, yes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Bennie Railplane.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'll hazard a guess at Glasgow.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Glasgow's the right answer, well done!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Has anyone seen traces of it? Chris.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32It was...sort of a long, streamlined pod
0:10:32 > 0:10:36with a propeller on each end, suspended from overhead gantries.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39They built about half a mile of track for this thing
0:10:39 > 0:10:43on top of an old North British Railway branch, up by Milngavie,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45in the suburbs of Scotland, er, Glasgow.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- But it never caught on?- It ran, after a fashion but never caught on.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53OK, three points to Terry. That means, Judith,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55you've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Myrmecology is the scientific study of which creatures?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I don't think it's butterflies, that's lepidoptery or something.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Er...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm inclined towards ants.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Generally, or just in the context of this question?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21No, just in the context of this question.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Ants is the right answer, so three points each.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26We go to Sudden Death, Terry.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It gets a little bit tougher cos I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Yep.- Your first question.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36What is the more common name for the atmospheric phenomenon
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Aurora Australis?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The Aurora Borealis is the Northern Lights.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48I think the Aurora Australis must be the Southern Lights.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Southern Lights is correct.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Nicely done!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Good bit of powerlifting there.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Judith, the pH scale ranges from zero to which number?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00If you get this wrong, you're out.
0:12:02 > 0:12:0415.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Let me ask your colleagues. - EGGHEADS: 14.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- 14, you were one out!- Oh, no. Oh, gosh.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I don't know how that happened.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You've gone. Terry, well done,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18you've beaten an Egghead!
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You're in the final round. How about that?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Judith knocked out on Science.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25If you come back, we'll play the next round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:12:28 > 0:12:32from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain as well.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Your next subject is Sport.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Is this a good one?- No, no, no.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39This is the killer.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We've kicked this around a lot, haven't we?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Just of a point of view of a sacrificial lamb,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I'm going to do it because none of us could do it really. I'm going to take this one.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52That's a toughie if it's not your subject. Which Egghead
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- would you like to go against? - I'll take CJ...I think?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Are you sure, Rupert?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59No, think about it, Rupert, have a think.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I think I'll take CJ.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Rupert from New Mill Males versus CJ from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Three questions on Sport, against CJ. Rupert, you can choose the first or second set.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18I'll go second.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Here we go, CJ, your first question. Roger Federer's wife, Mirka,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29represented which country at tennis at the 2000 Sydney Olympics?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Er, she played for Switzerland.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38She played for Switzerland, you're quite right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Rupert, your question.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Who won the 2010 UK Snooker title
0:13:43 > 0:13:46after coming back from a six-month ban from the game
0:13:46 > 0:13:48earlier in the year?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I don't recognise Stephen Lee.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Ronnie O'Sullivan, I think, was a bit before that.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I think it was John Higgins, I'll go for John Higgins.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04John Higgins is the right answer, well done.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Involved in quite a scandal, CJ, wasn't he?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Yes, he was accused of taking bribes to lose frames
0:14:11 > 0:14:14when he went to the Ukraine, and used the defence he was afraid for his safety
0:14:14 > 0:14:15so agreed to anything.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It was an amazing match, he was playing Mark Williams.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22He was 9-5 down and came back to win 10-9.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Almost as if he's got something to prove. Here's your question.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30What was the name of the horse on which Frankie Dettori
0:14:30 > 0:14:34won the Epsom Derby, on his 15th attempt, in 2007?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It was Authorized.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Authorized is the right answer, CJ.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Over to you, Rupert.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48The 1910 match, dubbed the "Fight Of The Century",
0:14:48 > 0:14:52was between James Jeffries and which other boxer?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Gentleman Jack was Jack Johnson.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I've never heard of Bob Fitzsimmons.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Jack Dempsey...ended up running a bar in New York.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14But I think the "Fight Of The Century" was Jack Johnson.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That's what I'll go for.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Jack Johnson is the right answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Well done. You've got two points, considering sport
0:15:23 > 0:15:26was not your thing, you're doing all right! CJ,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29what's going to happen? Here's your third question.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Which golfer was voted Rookie Of The Year
0:15:32 > 0:15:36by the US PGA in 2004,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38despite being in his late 30s?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Can't be Vijay Singh, I think he'd already won a Major by then.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Er...
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I think Todd Hamilton won the Open in 2004.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Er...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I didn't realise he was that old, though.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Todd Hamilton, late 30s in 2004.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09I just don't think so. I don't think he was that old.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13And Stewart Cink, I think, is the right age.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Er...oh, Lord.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm going to guess at Stewart Cink.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Ooh, I feel for you, you took a long and winding road there
0:16:23 > 0:16:28and you got to the wrong answer. It was Todd Hamilton, CJ.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Rupert, you can knock CJ out if you get this right.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37In which sport was the Vanderbilt Cup first offered as a prize in 1904?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I've heard of...Vanderbilt.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50And I know absolutely nothing about basketball
0:16:50 > 0:16:54or ice hockey. I really don't know the answer to this
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but I suspect because I've heard of it,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I know a little bit about motor racing,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm going to go for motor racing.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I'm loving your use of logic, Rupert, you're absolutely right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10It's motor racing so you have beaten CJ, and knocked him out on Sport.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13CJ, you won't be in the final round. Please come back and we'll play some more.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21- You realise if you win, you're going to have to sing again? - With great pleasure.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Don't know what we'll sing but we'll sing something!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27So, we've got one round now before the final.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What do you want and what don't you want?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31ALL: Music.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Music is the next dreaded one. - Shall I put you out of your misery?- Yes, please.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It's History.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Yes, that was your first choice, wasn't it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:46- It's either you or me, isn't it? - Yes, I think you should go for it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- John...- Now who are you going to have?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50..against which Egghead?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- It's Kevin or Daphne.- They're both very good.- I know, all right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I think Daphne is probably the weaker one if there is any.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- All right, go for Daphne.- Daphne. - So John I,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05from the New Mill Males, versus Daphne. History, Daphne?
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Yeah, quite like it. But I do come unstuck.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We'll see what happens. Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Three questions on History in turn.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- John I, you can choose the first or second set of questions. - I'll go second, Jeremy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Daphne. In 1836, Sam Houston became the first president
0:18:27 > 0:18:33of which short-lived sovereign nation that is now incorporated into the United States?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Sam Houston was the governor, or whatever,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45of the Republic of Texas.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49He was indeed. Republic of Texas is right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Back to you, John I.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55What nationality was the pilot Erich Hartmann
0:18:55 > 0:19:00who was regarded as the most successful flying ace of World War II?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Don't think he was Russian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So it's either Belgian or German.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Er, on the basis of it sounds too German,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'll go for being Belgian.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20He was German, John.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Just one of those ones where it is the obvious answer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Daphne, your question.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31What was the venue for the wedding of Queen Victoria and Albert in 1840?
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I have a feeling it was quite a small ceremony.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Er...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46St James's Palace.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- You don't look very certain of that. - No, I'm not.- Just a feeling.- Yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I don't think it was a big splash.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You're spot on, Daphne, it was St James's Palace. Breathe easy.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59John...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Popular amongst women in the 16th and 17th centuries,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06what were "chopines"?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I don't think they were bustle petticoats.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20And I'm pretty sure they're not lace gloves.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So I'll go for platform shoes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Platform shoes is correct, well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29You're still in it but if Daphne gets this right,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33because of your wrong answer, you'll be knocked out.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Daphne. Which monarch ordered the construction of a series
0:20:37 > 0:20:41of so-called device forts in order to defend the southern coast of Britain?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I think, er, yeah...
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yes, it's Henry VIII.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Henry VIII is the right answer. You got three in a row, Daphne.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01John, sorry. You've been knocked out
0:21:01 > 0:21:06by our own Miss Marple here. She'll be in the final and you won't.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09If you rejoin your teams, we will play the final round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17It is time for the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:19 > 0:21:21won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24John I and John S from the New Mill Males,
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Judith and CJ from the Eggheads, please now leave the studio.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Rupert, Terry and Tom, you're playing to win the New Mill Males
0:21:35 > 0:21:38£2,000. Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you're playing
0:21:38 > 0:21:42for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49The questions are General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52New Mill Males, the question is, are your three brains
0:21:52 > 0:21:55better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01We've had a brief discussion, Jeremy, and we'd like to go first.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I wish you all the best in the final round. Which member
0:22:08 > 0:22:11of the Rolling Stones released the 2010 autobiography
0:22:11 > 0:22:12entitled Life?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'm fairly sure it's Keith Richards.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- I think it is, yes.- And it's not Keith Richards, it's Keith Richard.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Right, OK.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- That's smart, I'm impressed. - We're going for Keith Richard.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I suspect we're going for Keith Richard.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think he adds the "S" on and off, actually.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- It's off today!- It's off for you and on for us.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Keith Richards is the right answer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43OK, Eggheads.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Benigno Aquino became president of which country in 2010?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Indonesia, Vietnam or Philippines?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Philippines. - Son of the former president.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Corazon.- He's the son of...his mother was also president,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Cory Aquino.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05And his father was an assassinated opponent of Marcos, the dictator.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's the Philippines.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Philippines is the right answer.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Here's your second question. Keep at 'em!
0:23:12 > 0:23:17What nickname is given to the book used by trainee London taxi drivers,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20which acts as a guide to learning The Knowledge?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26See, I thought it was The Knowledge.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- I did.- Yes, yes.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29We don't know.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Tom, have you any idea at all?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34No, but the one that jumps out at me is Blue Book.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Why should that be so?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I haven't the faintest idea. This is a pure guess.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- Tom, it's up to you.- It's your fault. - It'll be my fault if it's wrong.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47We'll go for the Blue Book, please.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's amazing the way this game works sometimes,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51it jumped out at you but you don't know why.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- Absolutely none.- It is the right answer! Well done. Two points.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58You're ahead of the Eggheads in the final round.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Eggheads, the fashion designer Jeff Banks married which singer
0:24:02 > 0:24:04in the 1960s?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Sandie Shaw. OK?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yes, he married Sandie Shaw.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Sandie Shaw is correct.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Two points each. Get this one right,
0:24:17 > 0:24:23and let's hope for a hairline crack opening up in the Eggs...
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Something horrible. Which poet described Oxford as
0:24:28 > 0:24:31"That sweet city with her dreaming spires,"
0:24:31 > 0:24:35in his poem, Thyrsis.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Dreaming spires.- Dreaming spires is before John Betjeman, isn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It's older than John Betjeman, I'm sure.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51I think Arnold, that's my feeling but Tom, you're Arts & Books.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Were you going for Arnold, Terry? - I would guess Arnold.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It's not Betjeman, I don't think. - Tom, it's up to you again.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03I can only go in democracy here and here we go.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07We'd like to go for Matthew Arnold, please.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Matthew Arnold is the right answer. - Well done, you two!
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Three out of three in the final round.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The guys watching you backstage can't ask for more than that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Eggheads, let's see
0:25:18 > 0:25:24if you can hang on in there. In the 1942 Disney cartoon, Donald Gets Drafted,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27what was revealed to be the middle name of Donald Duck?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- I think it's Fauntleroy.- Yep. - All think it's Fauntleroy?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Er, we believe that's Fauntleroy.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Did you know that, gentlemen? - ALL: Yes, yes.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44You are right, Eggheads, Fauntleroy is correct.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46A total of six points
0:25:46 > 0:25:49scored over three questions. We go to Sudden Death,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51see if this will separate you. Gets a bit harder,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53it's not multiple choice, OK?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Here's your question.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Strigops habroptila is the Latin name for which bird,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03also known as the owl parrot, which is critically endangered
0:26:03 > 0:26:06to the point that all the existing birds have been given names?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I'll spell it if you want. - Yes, please.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11It's sort of phonetic as you hear it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Strigops, S-T-R-I-G-O-P-S,
0:26:14 > 0:26:20then habroptila, H-A-B-R-O-P-T-I-L-A. It's the Latin name.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25The owl parrot's got to be the clue, but I don't know one parrot from another parrot.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I don't know many birds at all.- If there's only about ten left...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30The most prolific...I don't know...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The most prolific owl is the "tea-towel".
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- It's not an owl, it's a parrot. - How many parrots do we know?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Like bird. I don't know any parrots. - Parakeet.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44We can't pass, we're not going to pass.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49I'm really floundering, I've no idea. Invent a name and give it to them.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55The...red-necked yellow-tailed parakeet of Indonesia.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57JEREMY LAUGHS
0:26:57 > 0:26:59No, it's not. If it was, it would be amazing. Let me see
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- if the Eggheads know this. - Is this the kakapo?- Yes, it is.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08- What?- The kakapo, spelt K-A-K-A-P-O. - I have heard of it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Flightless bird, doesn't fly
0:27:10 > 0:27:14and they keep it on two islands to make sure it cannot be eaten
0:27:14 > 0:27:17or killed by a predator.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Kakapo.- Lost on me.- Eggheads, you have the initiative now.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26If you get this right, the contest is over. Here's your question.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29The two Victorian feminists and educational pioneers
0:27:29 > 0:27:32whose names were linked together in a satirical poem
0:27:32 > 0:27:36that suggested that they did not feel Cupid's darts
0:27:36 > 0:27:39were Miss Buss and Miss who?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40- Beale.- Beale.- Beale.
0:27:40 > 0:27:47Yes, yes. "Miss Buss and Miss Beale, Cupid's darts do not feel."
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- "How different from us..." - ALL: "Miss Beale and Miss Buss."
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Eggheads, the answer is Beale, you've won the contest.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Do you know the Buss and the Beale? - We do now.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11The kakapo, interesting how you know that one.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- You either know it or you don't. - I was feeling for you
0:28:14 > 0:28:20cos even with all the logic in the world, if you haven't got the word, it's not going to come.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Thanks for being great sports and singing for us...- We've enjoyed it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26..which, believe me, most teams do not do.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31They reign supreme over quiz-land.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with the £2,000
0:28:33 > 0:28:36which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:43 > 0:28:46to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Until then, goodbye.
