0:00:03 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.'
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'Together, they make up the Eggheads -
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:20'The question is - can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:43are The Italian Mob. In this team, siblings Antonio,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Fabio and Elisabetta
0:00:46 > 0:00:49form the Italian part of the quintet.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Claire and Andy make up the mob. Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Antonio, I'm 43 and I'm an English and media-studies teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Fabio, I'm 38 and I'm a freelance photographer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I'm Claire, I'm 37 and I'm an art lecturer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Elisabetta, I'm 48 and I'm a clerical assistant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm Andy, I'm 49 and I'm a business-development manager.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Great to see you. Great Italian heritage in your family -
0:01:16 > 0:01:18what did your parents do?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, after they came over from Italy,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26they opened the first Italian takeaway in Preston, our home town.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31My dad is Antonio, he imaginatively named me the same and the takeaway
0:01:31 > 0:01:34was called Tony's Takeaway and we've all worked in it
0:01:34 > 0:01:38at some point, though it's no longer in the family.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- And Italian Mob obviously a play on Italian Job?- It's a very weak pun,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47but it also kind of captures some of the nature of our family.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Italian families tend to be noisy and I think we conform
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- to that stereotype, definitely. - OK. Well, good luck.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Every day, there is £1,000 cash up for grabs,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:11which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today. Let's get cracking.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16First head-to-head battle is on geography. Who would like geography?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- We did have a plan for this. - We did. Was that Fabio?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's you. I think it's Fabio. >
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Fabio, OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28He's been around the world a few times, so he's up for it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Against which Egghead, Fabio?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK. I think we should take on...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Barry? Did you say definitely? Barry.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- All right, we'll take on Barry. - Fabio from The Italian Mob
0:02:43 > 0:02:47versus Barry from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50please go to our question room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, good luck. It's geography.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Three questions. You can choose the first or second set.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I think I'd like to go first.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Here we go. The Blackwall Tunnel passes under which English river?
0:03:11 > 0:03:17The Blackwall Tunnel is, I think, in London, I think.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's not... It's not the Trent.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Definitely not the Trent.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Um...
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- I'm going to say Thames.- Thames is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30First point to you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32How are you feeling, Barry?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- I'm fine, thank you. - Got through the crisis?- I hope so.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40We won't talk about it! In which Asian country
0:03:40 > 0:03:42is the city of Jodhpur located?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Er, Jodhpur... I think it might be nicknamed the Pink City,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52but it's in India.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Or is that Jaipur? It's in India anyway.- India is right. Well done.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02OK. Your question, Fabio. The towns of Petersfield and Midhurst
0:04:02 > 0:04:05are located in which National Park?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Ooh. I've not heard of those places.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Erm... Petersfield.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Sounds... Sounds Scottish.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm going to say Cairngorms.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Cairngorms is actually the wrong answer.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's the South Downs.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Barry, your chance to take the lead. What name is given by geologists
0:04:32 > 0:04:35to the ancient landmass which now lies under the North Sea
0:04:35 > 0:04:38that once connected Britain and continental Europe?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Oh. What a lovely question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I've never heard this.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Under the North Sea that connected us to continental Europe...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Is there a clue in there?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Viking is the furthest north of all those sea areas,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02so I can't imagine that would connect us to continental Europe.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Fisherland might be by German Bight, which seems a bit far away.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'll go for Doggerland.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Nicely done, you're right, Barry. OK, Fabio, your question.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Got to get this one right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18What is the capital of the French region of Brittany?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Brittany being north, I'm going to say Rennes.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34You've got it right, well done. Barry, get this right,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36you're in the final round.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Which country shares land borders with Austria, Hungary,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Croatia and Italy?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52It's not... I don't think it's Serbia.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I don't think Serbia has a common border with Italy,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58so it's Slovakia or Slovenia.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I think it's Slovenia.
0:06:03 > 0:06:09- Slovenia, which once was part of Yugoslavia, is right.- Ooh!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And you are through to the final round. Is that a relief?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- It is indeed.- Fabio, bad luck,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19you've been knocked out by our Egghead.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26The challengers have lost a brain.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29The Eggheads have not lost one.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32The next subject is music. Who would like music?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- What was the plan? - I think I'll...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- I'll go with music.- Definitely.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- I'll go with music.- Antonio steps forward. Against which Egghead?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It can't be Barry.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Did we think Chris?- Yes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- We'll take Chris, please. - Chris on music.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Molto bene! Ciao ragazzi!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, Chris on music. Antonio against Chris.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Please go to the question room.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- So, music, Antonio.- Yes. Yes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Any favourite periods? - Well, if we could keep it narrow,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11maybe between 1977 and 1983-84 really.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- That is the best period.- That would be my ideal.- Fancy that, Chris?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Shall we stick to that?- If you like. I'll get me coat!- Three questions,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Antonio, first or second set? - I'll take the first set, please.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Here we go. "Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38"Just what the truth is, I can't say any more" are lines from which song?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47OK. Well, it's not Bohemian Rhapsody.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Erm... I think... I hope it is, anyway,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54slightly early for my era, but it's Nights In White Satin.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It is indeed Nights In White Satin. Well done.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I always feel like I should sing...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'm not going to, but...
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- You should sing it. - # Beauty I'd always missed... #
0:08:06 > 0:08:11OK, Chris. The X Factor Finalists 2010
0:08:11 > 0:08:15had a UK number 1 single with a cover of which David Bowie song?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Eeh...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25The X Factor winners 2010...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Er, plural. A group. Was that JLS?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I think they did a hatchet job on Heroes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Yeah, it was left bleeding on the ground. It's been in casualty since.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Heroes is the right answer. Hope to make a full recovery.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43But it wasn't JLS,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- it was all the finalists. - Yeah, JLS it wasn't.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- So it was the entire cast? - It was the last 12 or something.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55OK. Antonio. What nationality was the composer Gustav Mahler?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I don't think he was Norwegian.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06I'm not sure about this, classical isn't really my area of expertise.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm going for Austrian.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Austrian is quite right. Mahler was Austrian.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Chris,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18how many UK number 1 singles did Slade have during the 1970s?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24HE MUTTERS
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Yeah, well, a lot of their stuff didn't make number 1.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- In medio tutissime ibis - go down the middle. 6.- Your answer is 6.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And it's correct.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Antonio. The American musician Gary Burton, born in 1943,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44became famous as a virtuoso
0:09:44 > 0:09:46on which instrument?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Gary Burton. Is that B-U-R?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- B-U-R-T-O-N.- Well, I don't know this. I've not heard of Gary Burton.
0:09:56 > 0:09:581943...
0:09:58 > 0:10:04I am going to go... with banjo.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Anyone here know? - No. I don't, myself.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Everyone's drawing a blank. It's vibraphone.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Chris, for a place in the final - in the song Seventy-Six Trombones
0:10:15 > 0:10:17from the musical The Music Man
0:10:17 > 0:10:21110 types of which instrument are close at hand
0:10:21 > 0:10:24to the trombones?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's 110 corn-ets.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Now you say it like that, I remember. It was on my record player
0:10:32 > 0:10:36when I was little. You're right and you have taken the round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Sorry, Antonio, you will not be in the final round and Chris will.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54The Eggheads have lost none. The next subject is arts and books.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Who would like this?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Do you want it? - I don't mind.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- It's which way... - Want me to do it?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's up to you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Do you want to do it? - Mm.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Elisabetta. OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Which Egghead would you like? It can't be Barry or Chris.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15None of them really!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I think I'll go for CJ.- OK.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Elisabetta versus CJ. Please go to the question room now.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- CJ, you must be reading something at the moment.- I'm still reading
0:11:28 > 0:11:32my interminable tome, The Penguin History Of The World.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Which century are you on now?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- I've just left the Romans, so about 6th century AD.- OK!
0:11:39 > 0:11:45- Have you written your autobiography? - I haven't been paid enough yet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- How do you think it'll end? - Tragically, I hope.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Take everyone with me!- OK.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Three questions each on arts and books. Elisabetta,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57first or second set?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02I think I'll stick with the Italian Mob tradition and go first, please.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08In the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12what is the first thing the caterpillar eats?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, my goodness.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, it's a long time
0:12:19 > 0:12:22since I've read this as my children are grown up now.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28So this actually is going to be a bit of a guess.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I'm going to guess at apple. - Brilliantly done,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34because it's a hard question.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Apple is right. Well done.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38CJ, your question.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Before moving to the South Bank,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44where was the National Theatre based?
0:12:46 > 0:12:51I think the National Theatre was at the Barbican.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- I think it was at the Old Vic. - Yeah.- Old Vic is the answer.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So, Elisabetta,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00you take the lead with an apple.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The plot of Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well
0:13:03 > 0:13:07is derived from a story found in which earlier work?
0:13:11 > 0:13:16Oh, dear. Again, it's one of the Shakespeare works I haven't read.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I can't think it was from The Divine Comedy though
0:13:20 > 0:13:24and I don't know The Decameron, so I'll go for The Canterbury Tales.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Who's our literary person here? Daphne, you'll know.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'd have gone for The Decameron.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- It is The Decameron. - Oh, well.- Got it wrong.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37CJ, to catch up.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Which painter, who died in 1906, is quoted as saying
0:13:41 > 0:13:45"I will astonish Paris with an apple"?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, Picasso certainly didn't die in 1906.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Erm...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Cezanne was more famous for his still lifes,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01where Degas had very specific subject matters
0:14:01 > 0:14:06and I think Degas was longer lived, so I'll try Paul Cezanne.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09That is right. And he did paint a lot of apples.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I don't know if that's relevant.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16A lot of apples in this round. The question writer's hungry.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK, your question, Elisabetta.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24Who wrote the plays The Father and The Dance Of Death?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Erm...
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I don't know a lot about Strindberg.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Erm... But I think my answer is going to be Ibsen.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44It's not Ibsen. It's the one you didn't have the knowledge of -
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Strindberg is the right answer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48So you're equal.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51CJ has to get this one right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Which Algerian city is the setting for the novel
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The Plague by Albert Camus?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I don't know. I knew which country it was, but that's it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I've...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12got absolutely nothing to go on. Erm...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17This is a guess. I'll go for Algiers.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Wrong, it's Oran. So you're equal,
0:15:19 > 0:15:24with a point each. We go to sudden death. It gets a bit harder,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- I don't give you alternatives. - Excellent.- Here we go.
0:15:27 > 0:15:34The 1963 painting Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car 1)
0:15:34 > 0:15:36is part of which artist's
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Death And Disaster series?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42OK. I can't even think of any artists from that era
0:15:42 > 0:15:46except for Andy Warhol. So my answer is Warhol.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Warhol is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52CJ, get this wrong, you're out.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Who wrote the legal suspense thriller
0:15:55 > 0:15:59entitled The King Of Torts that was published in 2003?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Mm, dear. Well, I haven't heard of it,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10so we go to our default answer for legal thrillers - John Grisham.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12John Grisham is correct.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Sorry, Elisabetta. Here's your next question.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The title Edda was historically given to two collections
0:16:20 > 0:16:24of ancient literature written down in which country?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Oh, dear, this is going to be a guess,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30but I'll try not to pass if I can.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Erm, I'm going to say
0:16:32 > 0:16:38- Greece.- Not Greece, it's Iceland actually. CJ, get this one right,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40you're in the final round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Which gallery in Florence is the permanent home
0:16:44 > 0:16:48of the paintings the Venus Of Urbino by Titian and Bacchus by Caravaggio?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Do we go for the most famous or for one of the secondary ones?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I don't think they're in the Uffizi,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05but if they're not, where else are they going to be?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I know both the works.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13I don't think they're here, but I'll try the Uffizi.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18The Uffizi is right. CJ, you take the round. Sorry, Elisabetta!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- And he thought it was wrong! - Well, I knew that answer.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25So you're not in the final and CJ is.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Come back to us for the next round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So the challengers have lost three brains.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35The Eggheads have lost no brains and the last subject
0:17:35 > 0:17:37is film and television.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Who would like this?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Claire.- Yeah, I'll take it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Claire, OK. Against which Egghead?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm going for Kevin, I think.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Claire from The Italian Mob against Kevin on film and television.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56To make sure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I'll ask each of you three questions on film and television.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- Claire, you can choose - first or second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Here we go with your first set.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Which TV personality presented a 2010 TV series
0:18:14 > 0:18:17about the Age Of The Do-Gooders?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Oh, OK. I don't think it's Stephen Fry.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30I think it's either Clive Anderson or Ian Hislop.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Erm... I think
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'm going to go for...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Ian Hislop.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And you got it right, it is Ian Hislop.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Kevin, in the Hancock episode The Blood Donor,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46first transmitted in 1961,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49how does Tony Hancock describe a pint of blood?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59You probably need Chris to do the voice. It's "very nearly an armful".
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That is the right answer. Chris?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05A pint? Are you mad?! That's very nearly an armful!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07THEY LAUGH
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Claire, your question.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Who directed the 2010 film The American starring George Clooney
0:19:13 > 0:19:17as an assassin undertaking one last assignment?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Um...
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Huge George Clooney fan, but I haven't seen this one!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I think...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I don't know why I'm going for this, but it's Christopher Nolan.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38He's a brilliant director, but it's not Christopher Nolan.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42It's the guy who did Control, the film about Ian Curtis.
0:19:42 > 0:19:49Anton Corbijn, who's a professional photographer most of the time.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Kevin, Elspeth Ballantyne played a character called Meg
0:19:54 > 0:19:58in 669 episodes of which TV series?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Mmm.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12This may be simpler than it looks, but I don't remember the name.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Could there possibly have been 669 episodes of...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Prisoner: Cell Block H? It did run for a long time.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Crossroads
0:20:23 > 0:20:25ran and ran and ran, so you would...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29You would think...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And she does... I'm going to go for Crossroads.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- No, Crossroads is wrong. - It was Prisoner: Cell Block H.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- It was. There was a Meg in Crossroads.- Yes, Meg Mortimer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Somebody was being a bit smart there with the question. OK, Claire.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Get this, you take the lead.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Which 2006 film starred Julie Christie
0:20:52 > 0:20:56as a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Again, it's not a film I've seen.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's not Finding Neverland.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Erm... I think
0:21:08 > 0:21:11it's Away From Her.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Yeah, I'll go with Away From Her.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Away From Her.- A guess. - Well done, you got it right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Kevin's on the ropes now. If you don't get this right, you are out.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Which British film company was founded in 1932 by Alexander Korda
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and made films such as The Private Life Of Henry VIII
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and The Third Man?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh, dear.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, it wasn't... I'm pretty sure it wasn't Rank.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Gaumont-British would be an offshoot of the French Gaumont company
0:21:51 > 0:21:53so I think it's London Films.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You're right. London Films it is. So you're equal
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and it's sudden death again.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03It's not multiple choice, you have to give me the answer. Ready?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Yeah.- Who became the presenter of the TV quiz show
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Telly Addicts in 1985?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oh, that was...
0:22:12 > 0:22:18I've... Noel Edmonds just sprung into my head and I don't know why.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I'm going to go with Noel Edmonds, I don't know.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Noel Edmonds is the right answer.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Kevin, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Who hosted the first series
0:22:32 > 0:22:37of the TV dating show Take Me Out in 2010?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Not a clue.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45No, I know nothing about it at all,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48so not a clue.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Erm, I don't know whether it's male, female - anything.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Nothing whatsoever to go on.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00No, I'll fall on my sword. Erm...
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I don't know. Tess Daly. I've got not the faintest idea.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08So The Italian Mob have knocked out the Godfather.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The answer is Paddy McGuinness. Kevin, you got it wrong.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Claire, you've knocked out Kevin. Maybe the tide is turning
0:23:16 > 0:23:19for your team. Come back to us,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21we'll play the final round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28This is it - the final round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Those of you who lost your head-to-heads cannot take part.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Antonio, Fabio and Elisabetta from The Italian Mob
0:23:37 > 0:23:41and Kevin from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Claire and Andy, you're playing to win The Italian Mob £3,000.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry
0:23:49 > 0:23:53are playing for what money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I will ask each team three questions -
0:23:56 > 0:24:01the questions are all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Italian Mob, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Claire and Andy,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Good luck to you in the final round.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18What flower is traditionally used
0:24:18 > 0:24:21as an emblem of England?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It's Rose. Rose.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I used to have a bit of an allotment
0:24:30 > 0:24:33so I'm quite good on the gardening.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I can't see it being a daisy, because they're tiny. Violets...
0:24:38 > 0:24:43A good, iconic flower would be the rose. So we'll go for rose.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46English rose. You're right. Well done.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Eggheads, what name is given to the casing
0:24:50 > 0:24:52in which vanilla seeds are housed?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- The pod.- Pod.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Vanilla seeds are in pods.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04They are indeed. We're in the garden for this one.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Like whales.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Whales are in pods? - Yes. A group of whales is a pod.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We try and teach him something,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- he's just not interested. - OK. Don't let them put you off.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20They only do this when they're panicking.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26Your question. The 1954 football World Cup, won by West Germany,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28was held in which European country?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I'm not very good with football. Where's Fabio?!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39He'd be the expert. I don't think...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I think it's Switzerland.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Netherlands and Switzerland are quite small countries,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48they would probably do joint bids.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54So I'm drawn to a country that's got quite a big football heritage -
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Italy. I would've thought so. Goes with the theme.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It might be an own goal,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03but I think we'll go for Italy. You happy? Yeah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Italy. - I'm looking at Fabio...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- What's he doing?! - He's not looking happy.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, no...
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- The three Italians are in there! - Absolutely!
0:26:16 > 0:26:17It's Switzerland.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- Oh!- Switzerland. - Sorry, guys.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Second question, Eggheads.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27To which order of reptiles do snakes and lizards belong?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Squamata. Squamata.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39They are the... squamata.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44You did know it instantly and you are right. OK.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46You need this one, Italian Mob.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50During the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53the noyades were the drownings
0:26:53 > 0:26:56of thousands of supposed enemies of the Revolution.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59In which French town?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Well... What do you think?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I don't know. I suppose...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I don't think it's Nice, but I don't know why.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Nice is on the south coast... Yeah, but there's a sea.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Erm, is Nantes... Is that on a major...
0:27:19 > 0:27:23I think Nimes is on a major river - that's where denim's from.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It's also twinned with Preston.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Erm...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Go straight down the middle? Straight down the middle.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33We'll do a Daphne. Nimes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Nimes. OK. Do our Eggheads know?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- I would've gone for Nantes. - It's on the Loire estuary,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42so there's water.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The answer is Nantes. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54A lot of continental stuff in there!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56There was, yes.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Sorry, you just didn't get there. Commiserations to you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they still reign.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09You won't be going home with £3,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team can beat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
