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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Their pedigree is well known, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads and taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the May Team from Devon.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team of brothers and sisters are making their Granny May very happy
0:00:46 > 0:00:47by coming on Eggheads
0:00:47 > 0:00:50because apparently it is her favourite programme.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Josh, I'm 27 and I'm a territory sales manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Harriet, I'm 23 and I'm a racehorse groom.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I'm Max, I'm 29 and I'm a solar PV installer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Olivia, I'm 21 and I'm a fashion textiles student.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Anthony, I'm 31
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and I'm a special educational needs coordinator.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- So, Josh and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Hello.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And this is all the brothers and sisters?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- That's it. There's no more. - And tell us about Granny May.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We decided to come on or I put these guys forward
0:01:22 > 0:01:25because it is her favourite programme,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28so we thought she'd like to see for her grandchildren on it.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Does she live near you?- She lives... - Next door to me, actually.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- In Devon?- In Devon. So she cooks the tea, six o'clock, and we're round there watching Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- So she's got you into the programme? - Pretty much, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44She introduced us to it, yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47OK, now, she has written me a letter. I've got it here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Oh, no!- Oh, no!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54She says, "I'm very proud to see my grandchildren on Eggheads."
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Oh, my...- "I watch it every day.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- "Hopefully, they will not let me down."- Oh!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02"I wish them the very best of luck."
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- That's really good.- You can check the writing, it is her, OK?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10So, anyway, for Granny May, best of luck,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and you know that there is £1,000 up for grabs every day for our challengers.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over,
0:02:18 > 0:02:24so, May Team, the last group of challengers actually won the game against the Eggheads.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26They've had a rotten time recently.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29They were taken apart by a team of Blackpool rock makers
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and it's been sticky ever since.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So £1,000 says you can't beat them. Are you ready to try?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- We're going to give it a go. - We'll give it a go.- Good luck.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43The first head to head battle is on Geography. Who would like this?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I think that's me. - Geography degree, so...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Max, which Egghead would your Granny want you to take out first?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- I think...- Pat. - I think we'll go for Pat, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56- Pat.- Yeah, I think Pat.- Fine.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02Max May, from Team May, versus Pat, who may or may not.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Three multiple choice questions for you,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and the subject is Geography
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and, Max, if you lose the round you get knocked out.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Pat, if you win this round you will have a very angry granny to deal with.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Max, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think I'll go for the first, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:35Good luck to you. What is the currency of Sri Lanka?
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Erm, well, the baht is Indonesian, erm...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:03:44 > 0:03:50I have a feeling it might be the Sri Lankan rupee,
0:03:50 > 0:03:51so I'm going to go with that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Sri Lankan rupee is absolutely right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Is the baht Indonesian or...? - Thailand.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Where's the baht from, Eggheads? - Thailand.- Thailand. OK.- Ah...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's all right, Max, don't worry about that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Pat, where in England is the junction called Scotch Corner,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11where the A66 meets the A1?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I've passed through this junction several times
0:04:17 > 0:04:21going from London to South Shields
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and it's in North Yorkshire.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27You can come across the Pennines and join the A1 there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28So it's in North Yorkshire.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32North Yorkshire is the right answer. Max, back to you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:39In the UK, the arch of St Brides Bay faces out towards which larger body of water?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yeah, I'm not sure of that one, actually.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52For some reason, I've a feeling it might be on the south coast,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57so I'm going to go with the English Channel.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02It's actually in Pembrokeshire, so Atlantic is the right answer,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04not the English Channel.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08OK, Pat, your second question to take the lead.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Which term refers to a type of very shallow soil on top of bedrock?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm not at all sure about this, this one.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I've a suspicion that podzols aren't...
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I'm not sure you get them in great agricultural growing regions.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I think they might be poor soils up in the northern latitudes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35But it's very speculative. I'll go for podzol.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You're wrong, Pat, actually, the answer is ranker.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42So how about that? Maybe the spirit is with you here, Max.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45You are equal after two questions.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49What name is given to a type of long, streamlined rock formation
0:05:49 > 0:05:53often created by wind erosion and found in deserts?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Erm... I'm instantly drawn to yazoo.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I think I might have heard of this before
0:06:04 > 0:06:08but none of those three really springs out.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But I'm going to go with yazoo.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yazoo is your answer. OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yardang is the right answer, Max.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18OK, Pat.
0:06:18 > 0:06:25Cape Disappointment is a promontory at a state park in which US state?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I'm slightly inclined against Florida.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'll go with Washington State.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37If you've got this right, you are in the final.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The answer is Washington.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- CHALLENGERS GROAN - So you've won over those three questions.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Sorry, Max, you've been knocked out. He plays well, doesn't he?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53So the challengers have lost that one brain,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56the Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59The next subject is Film and Television.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Ooh!- Who would like this?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, I think it's out of the sisters.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I think it's the only one I might have a chance at.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- OK, then.- That's fine. And against which Egghead?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Barry?- We need to go for Barry, I think.- Yeah?- Yeah?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We'll have Barry, then, please. - Barry on Film and TV?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Yes, yes. All right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Harriet from the May Team against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Harriet, what do you do?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I'm a racehorse groom for a National Hunt trainer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Oh, great. And again, in Devon? - Yeah. Brayford.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38So you have to train them and see how they do on the racetrack?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Yeah, exactly. We exercise them every day,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46take them up the gallops and make sure they're ready for race day.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Are there days when you think, "This horse is going to win because it's in incredible shape?"
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Exactly, yeah.- Are you right when you think that?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Not all the time.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It's a lot to do with luck as well, yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- If Barry was a horse, would you put a bet on him?- I don't know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- No, probably not.- Very wise indeed.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I don't think age is on his side.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Ooh!- Ahhh! - He's very wise, though.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13OK, three questions on Film and Television.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16We'll see how much you watched while you were not working in the stables.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- You can choose the first or second set.- Erm...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'll go for the first set, please.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Best of luck to you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31In December 2010, which star of his own Comedy Roadshow programme
0:08:31 > 0:08:35was announced as a judge for Britain's Got Talent?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42A judge for Britain's Got Talent, right.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I should probably know this. Erm...
0:08:45 > 0:08:50But I think I'm going to fire with Jimmy Carr.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Let me ask your brothers.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Last night she was talking about how she liked Michael McIntyre -
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Harriet's favourite comic but... - Your favourite comic, Harriet.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Michael McIntyre is the right answer.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Barry, your question.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10The 1971 film Carry On Henry tells the story of which famous Henry?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I would have loved to have seen a Carry On film about Henry Kissinger
0:09:17 > 0:09:19or even Henry Ford, for that matter.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20It was about Henry VIII.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It was about Henry VIII, you're right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So you have a point and Harriet, here's your second question.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32The 1985 film Letter To Brezhnev was set in which city?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I've never seen the film or heard of it,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43so this is going to be a complete guess.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Brezhnev - I don't even know if that gives it away.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm going to guess with Liverpool.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's a great film and it is set in Liverpool as well.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Well done!- A good guess. - CHALLENGERS CHEER
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Here's your question, Barry.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01In the 1950 film All About Eve, what is Eve's surname?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh, gosh. This is a film I've seen.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10All About Eve.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14She plays a woman who's struggling to become a star
0:10:14 > 0:10:18on the back of acquaintances with more established stars
0:10:18 > 0:10:20but I can't remember what her surname is.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm sure Daphne would know this one.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25But I don't know this and this is a guess.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'll go down the middle and say Eve Jesson.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30No. Daphne?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- I'd have gone for Lund.- No.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- No?- Anyone else?- I'd have gone for Harrington.- Very good.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Easy, that one. - Harrington is the right answer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Very good. OK, third question. So what is it? It's one point each.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45And, Harriet, if you get this right
0:10:45 > 0:10:48you put Barry under a little bit of pressure.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49See if his knees buckle.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54The screenwriter Lee Hall married which British film director in 2003?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Erm, once again, not a clue.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06So it's going to be a complete guess.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm going to go down the middle again with Andrea Arnold.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13No, it was Beeban Kidron, not Andrea.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18OK, Barry, if you get this one right, you win the round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Which actor played the Doctor in the Doctor Who story City Of Death,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27for which Douglas Adams wrote much of the script?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Gosh.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38I really don't know on this one, so I shall play the percentage game.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Tom Baker, I believe, of those three
0:11:41 > 0:11:45was the Doctor in most Doctor Who stories, so I shall go for Tom Baker.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Tom Baker is right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49THEY GROAN
0:11:49 > 0:11:52OK, Barry, you've won the round. You got it right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Harriet, you've been knocked out, so you won't be in the final round.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Ooh!- Is this good?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- We've got someone doing... - A fashion student.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Yeah.- A fashion student?- Yeah.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I think that's probably the person to take it on.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Olivia, is that you? - Yeah, that's me, sadly.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I go to a few galleries but recently...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Who do you fancy taking on?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Chris?- Chris on Arts and Books. How about it, Chris?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Yeah, I'll take a bullet for Granny.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Olivia from the May Team versus Chris from the Eggheads
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and please go to the question room now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts and Books in turn
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and, Olivia, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Erm, I'll just go second, to be different.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Chris, your question. The team Quattrocento is used to refer to Italian art of which century?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Well, it means the 1400s, so it's the 15th century.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08You're quite right. It is the 15th century.
0:13:08 > 0:13:15Olivia, the word limner refers to which type of artist?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24OK, well, I haven't actually heard of that word before.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27My best friend does photography and she's never mentioned it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32For some reason, I want to go for sculptor.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'm not quite sure why but that's going to be my answer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Anyone know this? I've not heard this before.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Anybody on your team, maybe?- No. - Eggheads?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Painter.- Painter.- I thought it was somebody who drew, actually.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- So what is a limner? - Generally a portrait painter.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52We think it's a portrait painter. Sorry. You've got it wrong.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Painter is the answer.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01Chris, the character Maura Ryan, queen of London's underworld,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03was created by which writer?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, if it's queen of the London underworld,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14it's got to be Martina Cole, innit? Yes, Martina Cole.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Martina Cole is right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Your second question, Olivia. - Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- You've got to get this one right now, OK?- Yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28The playwright Ben Travers wrote a number of popular farces
0:14:28 > 0:14:31that came to be known by the name of which theatre
0:14:31 > 0:14:33where they were performed?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41OK, well, I know that they're...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well, they're probably all theatres
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but I've only heard of the Criterion
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and I don't know.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Ben Travers. I've heard of him.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I'm just going to go for Criterion.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Let me ask Daphne. Daphne? - Aldwych.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Can you not break it a bit more gently?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01We've got Granny watching this.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I'm sorry, Granny, but it's Aldwych. - It's the Aldwych.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Oh, sorry, Grandma. - You've been knocked out.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14You can still win. They've been beaten by a single player before
0:15:14 > 0:15:15and quite recently.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Chris, you're in the final, Olivia, you're not.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Please, both of you, rejoin your teams now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27The Eggheads are still intact.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- The last subject is Politics. - GROANING AND LAUGHTER
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Is that bad?- This is one that no-one was looking forward to.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So it's Josh at this end or Anthony at the far end.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I think I'm going to be the sacrificial lamb, here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Sounds good.- Yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Shall I just...? Shall we try and go for Daphne?- Yeah, why not?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I would like to take on Daphne, please?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52OK, Anthony from the May Team. Daphne, are you ready on Politics?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Mm, I don't really like it, no. - Nor do I.- No-one does, do they?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58And Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So let's see how you do. Please go to the question room now.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06OK, Anthony, I know you're a reluctant contestant on Politics
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- but here we go.- OK.- Are you ready?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Three questions and you can choose the first or second set.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I would like the first set, please.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Your first question. Good luck.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23What percentage of the overall vote was won by Liberal Democrats
0:16:23 > 0:16:26in the 2010 general election?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Er, I think I could rule out 12,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36so I think it's between 23 and 34.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Or maybe it is 12.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Erm... No, I think I'm going to go for 23, please.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Spot on, well done. 23%. - CHEERING
0:16:45 > 0:16:50First point to Anthony. Daphne, here's your question.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52What was the surname of Samantha Cameron
0:16:52 > 0:16:55before her marriage to the politician David Cameron?
0:16:59 > 0:17:04I think she was Samantha Sheffield.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Samantha Sheffield is correct.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Nicely done. I didn't know that. Did you all know that?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Yep.- Oh. "Yep," says Judith. "Yep."
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Anthony, Clement Attlee served as leader of the Labour party
0:17:20 > 0:17:22for how many years?
0:17:25 > 0:17:2740 seems a very long time to be a leader.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Erm, I think I will go for 30, please.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Well, 30 is a very long time, as well.- 20.- It's 20.
0:17:36 > 0:17:381935 to 1955.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Daphne, your question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Hastings Ismay, Peter Carrington and George Robertson
0:17:44 > 0:17:50have all been British holders of Secretary General of which international organisation?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, yes, erm...
0:17:57 > 0:18:03Lord Ismay said that NATO was there to keep the Americans in,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07the Russians out and the Germans down.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And NATO is the right answer, Daphne. Well done.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Anthony, what subject did the German politician Angela Merkel study
0:18:14 > 0:18:16at Leipzig University?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19If you get this wrong, you've been knocked out, Anthony.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I would have thought Mandarin Chinese was quite unlikely.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Erm...
0:18:28 > 0:18:34I think I'm just going to go for a more standard sort of subject,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37so I'm going to go for physics, please.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Brilliantly done. You're right. Physics is the right answer.- Yeah!
0:18:40 > 0:18:43OK! So two points each.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46If Daphne gets this wrong, we go to sudden death.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48If she gets it right, she's in the final.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Which leading figure in US politics, Daphne,
0:18:51 > 0:18:56was Governor of Massachusetts between 2003 and 2007?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Oh, I don't know.
0:19:05 > 0:19:12I guess the one I've heard about is Rush Limbaugh.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15We've discovered a real blank in your knowledge there
0:19:15 > 0:19:18because he's the right-wing talk show host.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21The other two are politicians and it was Mitt Romney we wanted.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Never heard of him. - Never heard of him?- No.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Mitt Romney. There we are.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- We learn something every day, don't we?- Yes.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Anthony, you've taken an Egghead to sudden death.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Your team may just be turning the corner now.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Gets a bit harder. I don't give you different alternatives. Here we go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45Carlos Menem first became president of which South American country
0:19:45 > 0:19:47in 1989?
0:19:48 > 0:19:53I don't know why but I'm thinking Argentina.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Or maybe Ch...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I'm just going to go with my original... I'm going to say Chile.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01- No!- You've gone with Chile. OK.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Your original was Argentina, really, but...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06The answer is Argentina.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08That is painful.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- That is painful.- He said he'd go with his original.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14"I'm going to go with my original - Chile."
0:20:14 > 0:20:18OK. Daphne.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21During the Cuban Missile Crisis,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26in exchange for the USSR removing its missiles from Cuba,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Soviet leaders asked the United States to remove its missile bases
0:20:30 > 0:20:32from which country?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34This for the round, Daphne.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Turkey?- Turkey is the right answer. Daphne, you're in the final.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Sorry, Anthony. They say you've got to take your chances,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47particularly against our own little Miss Marple, there.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49She's very, very, very savage.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Oh, I'm not! I'm a pussy-cat.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56No, you're not. You can be brutal and you've won the round again.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So if you both come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I won't say, "Granny, look away now."
0:21:03 > 0:21:06This is what we have been playing towards, the final round,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08which is general knowledge.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:21:10 > 0:21:12won't be allowed to take part,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17so Harriet, Max, Olivia and Anthony from the May Team,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19would you please leave the studio?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Josh, you're playing to win the May Team £1,000.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30you are playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:30 > 0:21:32the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37The questions are all general knowledge
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43So, Josh, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- Would you like the first or second set of questions?- I'll go second, drag it out a bit.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Here we go, Eggheads, your first question.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Which secretion is produced by the sublingual and submandibular glands?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Saliva.- Saliva.- Saliva.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Saliva.- Saliva.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09We're all saying saliva.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13You passed the word saliva up and down the line there
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- and everyone agreed.- Yes. - I saw that.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Saliva's right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Over to you, Josh.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25What is encased in pastry in the Scottish delicacy called a black bun?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Mm. I should probably know this.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Erm, Granny would probably know this, she's a keen cook,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and my aunt is a chef in a restaurant
0:22:38 > 0:22:40but I haven't heard of this.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47Erm, I'm thinking Scottish delicacy, so probably quite traditional,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50so I think I'm going to go for fruit cake.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Fruit cake is right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Josh, well done.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK, Eggheads your second question.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The nickname Mr Cricket became synonymous with which Australian cricketer?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Mike Hussey.- Are you sure? - Mike Hussey.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- I agree with that one.- Definitely.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Daphne is absolutely sure it's Mike Hussey.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Mike Hussey is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Second question to you, Josh.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25In the 1860s, the Austrian Archduke Maximilian
0:23:25 > 0:23:29was proclaimed the Emperor of Mexico
0:23:29 > 0:23:33backed by an army sent by which European leader?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Erm, I'm going to rule out Lord Palmerston.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I don't think it's that.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Initially, my first instinct was to go for Otto von Bismarck,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49so I'm going to go with that.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Let's ask the Eggheads this one. Is it Otto?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Napoleon III. - Was that THE Napoleon?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- No, that's Napoleon III. - His nephew?- Mm-hm.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00It's Napoleon III.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Ooh.- Oh, dear.- Ooh, dear.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Because you asked them to start, they can now take the contest.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09There are five of them,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13so if they get this one right, that is the end, Josh.
0:24:13 > 0:24:20Who won a Golden Globe award for his lyrics to the song A Love That Will Never Grow Old
0:24:20 > 0:24:22from the film Brokeback Mountain?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29I'm not sure on this one.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Bernie Taupin is Elton John's one, isn't he? Tim Rice...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- I think we'd have heard of it. - I don't think Tim Rice.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I think my first thought was Tim Rice.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I'm inclined to go for Don Black. I don't know it, but...
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Don Black has written reams of stuff.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I'm sure we'd have heard of it if the other two had written it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- OK, Don Black? You happy with that?- Yeah, well...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- I'm just wondering about Bernie Taupin.- Is that a strong feeling?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00No feeling as to how solid it is, though, so...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Sure?- Yeah, I'm sure.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- So Don Black?- Don Black. - Don Black's written all kinds of things.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09OK, we're going to go for Don Black.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Don Black. Do you think they've got it right?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Probably but I hope they haven't. - Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Then again, you've paid the penalty before
0:25:17 > 0:25:20for not listening to Pat's inklings.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Oh!- Have we done it again?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You have. The correct answer is Bernie Taupin.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Well done, Pat.- Pat has an inkling
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and as soon as somebody says, "How sure are you?"
0:25:30 > 0:25:31he then withdraws it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So you have to ignore the second part of what Pat says.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Right.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Oh, this is interesting now.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40If you get this one right, we go to sudden death
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- and then anything can happen. - Indeed.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47What name was given to the material formed from ice and wood pulp
0:25:47 > 0:25:51with which it was proposed to build an unsinkable aircraft carrier
0:25:51 > 0:25:53in the Second World War?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Surprisingly, I haven't heard of this.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Erm, but Cemesto, I'm thinking cement and it's not that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Erm, the one, again, the one that really kind of...
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I thought straight away looked like it could be feasible would be Pykrete,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16so I'm going to go for that one.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I know that Chris will know the answer. Chris?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I think it is Pykrete, actually, yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Pykrete is the right answer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Ooh! Ooh, we've got a bit of a contest here.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So you held the Eggheads over three questions.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- I'm happy with that. - All five of them, as well.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34We go to sudden death, Eggheads.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Here it gets a bit more difficult
0:26:36 > 0:26:39because I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43On Wall Street, for what does the letter S stand
0:26:43 > 0:26:47in the name of the regulatory body known as the SEC?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Securities.- Securities and Exchange Commission?
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- Securities Exchange Commission? - Securities and Exchange Commission.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57We think that's Securities.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Securities is correct.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03OK, your question. You must get this one right.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Which football club played its home matches at Boothferry Park
0:27:06 > 0:27:09until 2002?
0:27:10 > 0:27:15It does ring a bell and I'm sure my mates are screaming the answer,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18but nothing is really coming to me.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23But I'm thinking 2002, what clubs would have moved into a new ground then.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I know Manchester City, their new ground would have been round about then.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Maybe Sunderland, City of Light, Stadium of Light,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35would have been maybe around then.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Erm, so I'll probably... I'm going to plump for Man City.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44The correct answer is Hull City. Sorry, you got it wrong.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47They moved to the KC Stadium after that.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And we say sorry to Granny, as well, but you did well in the last round
0:28:00 > 0:28:05and if you get them square over three questions, as you'd agree,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- it can fall apart, can't it? - It can.- And it has.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Thank you for coming in.- Thank you. - Great to meet you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I wish we'd met Granny as well.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, most of the time.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24The May Team won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:34have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Till then, bye, Granny.
