0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to be beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Their quiz pedigree is well-known
0:00:31 > 0:00:36as the have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This team all work for the same firm of solicitors
0:00:44 > 0:00:47in the Somerset towns of Shepton Mallet and Castle Cary.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Libby, I'm 32, and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Robin, I'm 62, I'm also a solicitor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Liz, I'm 63, and I'm a legal cashier.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Warren, I'm 60, and I'm a family lawyer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Heather, I'm 40, and I'm a legal cashier.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- So, Libby and team, welcome to you. - Hi.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And Castle Cary, Shepton Mallet, beautiful places, we should say.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Yeah, they are.- And do you quiz together? Informally or formally?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Informally. Every morning we...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Warren's our quizmaster, and he asks us a few questions
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and we all try and see who can get the right answer.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Is that right?- Yes, that's correct. - And what sort of subjects?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- It's everything, really.- OK, so that could prepare you for this lot?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I hope so!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Have you worked out who's got strengths and weaknesses
0:01:33 > 0:01:35and who wants which subject and all that?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I think so. I think we've got it sorted
0:01:37 > 0:01:39but it just depends what comes up, really.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Good luck. Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So, Law Unto Themselves, I can tell you that the Eggheads
0:01:50 > 0:01:52have won the last two games,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Shall we start?- Yes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head is on the subject of Film And Television.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- Who would like this? - Yeah, Libby, go.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Everybody happy for me to do it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- That will be me, Jeremy. - Libby, OK. Right in there.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Against which Egghead? You can take your pick.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Who do you think - Pat?- I don't know. - I think CJ.- CJ, I think.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Definitely CJ.- CJ on Film... Look at that reaction!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- On Film And Television.- It is years since I was picked for the subject.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Ages since you were picked for Television?- Yeah. - Is that his favourite subject?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- He's only interested in television if he's on it. - LAUGHTER
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It is the best kind.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So Libby from Law Unto Themselves versus CJ from the Eggheads on Film And TV.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So, three multiple-choice questions on Film And TV, Libby.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48The person who answers the most questions correctly goes into to the final.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51See if you can knock out CJ. Do you want the first or the second set?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So, here we go with your first question.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Which actor appeared in the films
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Godzilla, The Cable Guy, and Inspector Gadget?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Right, I don't think it's Mark Wahlberg,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16because it's not like him to do a film like Inspector Gadget.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And I think Michael Douglas is too old.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think it's Matthew Broderick.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Matthew Broderick is the right answer, well done.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Easy to come a cropper on that one.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27CJ, your question.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30What is the profession of William Garrow
0:03:30 > 0:03:32in the TV series Garrow's Law?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Ah! This one I haven't seen.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm always better on films than I am on TV.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I've got an image in my head,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I don't know if it's the right person,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48but a guy in his early 50s maybe?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Dark hair. I think that the right one, but I'll try barrister.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Barrister's the right answer. You knew that, Libby, didn't you?- Yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Firm of solicitors. That was your question.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05OK, here's your second question.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Elvis Cridlington and Bella Lasagne
0:04:08 > 0:04:12are characters in which children's animated series?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm pretty sure I know this one,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21which is really quite sad, I think, because it's after my time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I think it's Fireman Sam.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Fireman Sam is the right answer, well done.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, two points to you. You're ahead of CJ. See if he can catch up.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32CJ, what mode of transport is referred to in the title of the 2010
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Denzel Washington film Unstoppable?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43It was, um, a so-called disaster movie with Chris Pine,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and it's a train.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Train is the right answer. Good.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Libby, your question.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Third question, see if you can get this right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Who wrote the play A Few Good Men,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57which he later adapted into a screenplay
0:04:57 > 0:05:00for the Tom Cruise film of the same name?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Something's drawn me to Peter Morgan so I'll go for that. I don't know.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- What is the answer, Eggheads? - Aaron Sorkin.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Aaron Sorkin is the right answer, Libby. You've got it wrong,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21so CJ can take the round now with his third question.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23The film director Joseph McGinty Nichol
0:05:23 > 0:05:25became well-known by what name?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm afraid he's McG.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34McG is the right answer, CJ, well done. You're in the final.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Libby, you've been knocked out
0:05:36 > 0:05:39by CJ and you won't be in the final round.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, as it stands, the challengers have lost
0:05:45 > 0:05:47one brain from the final round,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50The next subject is Science.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Where is the scientist on your team among the solicitors?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Do you want to go for that? - I don't think we have one!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I think maybe Heather. I think Heather.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Yeah.- Which Egghead, Heather? It can't be CJ, obviously.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Ooh, gosh, they're all brainy on Science.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- Judith?- No, sorry, Judith, yeah. - Judith?- I think, yeah.- Go for Judith.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Judith, science again.- Again! - You have a run on science. - A big run on science.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And it's quite successful so far, isn't it?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's always a mistake to say that!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22OK, so Heather from Law Unto Themselves
0:06:22 > 0:06:25versus Judith from the Eggheads on Science.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Heather, you are the newest recruit to this firm of solicitors, I gather?- I am, yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- And are you enjoying it? - Yes, I really am.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- I suppose you can't say no, can you? - They're looking after me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40They are in a beautiful part of the country.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, cos we moved down from Derby, so, like a city,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45and now I'm in the country, so it's lovely.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Heather, three multiple-choice questions on Science. You can choose the first or second set.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Here we go, Heather, good luck to you.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00A creature described as hispid is covered in what?
0:07:04 > 0:07:10Ooh. Erm, hispid? I'm going to go for scales.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I don't know why, but something is drawing me to scales.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Judith, you're good on this kind of question.- I'm not sure.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I think it maybe bristles, though.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Bristles is the right answer. Difficult one to guess.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Bad luck. Judith, your question
0:07:22 > 0:07:24to take the lead.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28What is the surface area in centimetres squared of a cube
0:07:28 > 0:07:30whose edges are 4cm in length?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Um, one, two...
0:07:41 > 0:07:4220...
0:07:44 > 0:07:49I think there might be 16 sides to measure, so, it's 64.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Hmm, OK, where do we start here?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- One, two, three... - It's wrong, anyway.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I think the point is that there are six surfaces
0:07:56 > 0:07:59and each surface is 4 x 4, which is 16.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- So, Barry, it's 6 x 16?- Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Six faces on the cube. - Well, there you are!- 6 x 16 = 96.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Sorry, Judith.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Give me a calculator and I'd have been all right!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13OK, your second question, Heather. You've got the chance to steal
0:08:13 > 0:08:14a march on Judith.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17In what state does a clinical element barium
0:08:17 > 0:08:19exist at room temperature?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Barium. I don't think it's gas.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Or is it? Solid, barium. Um...
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I think it could be solid. I'm going to go for solid.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- See if your team knows. - We were on liquid, I think.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40They think it's liquid, but you're right, it's solid.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well done. So a point to Heather. Back to you, Judith.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47In which part of the human body is the ischium found?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Could you spell it, please? - I-S-C-H-I-U-M.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Um, dear me.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Which is the most complicated bit? I think it may be in the knee.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Cos that's complicated?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Well, it's more complicated than hip and shoulder.- OK!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Who wants to help out here? Eggheads?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- ALL: It's in the hip.- It's in the hip, anyway, Judith.- Oh, is it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'm not doing too well. I knew you'd jinx it, Jeremy!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I didn't...- It's your fault, again.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I just said you've done really well on science recently.- I'm boiling up.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20LAUGHTER
0:09:20 > 0:09:22OK, Heather, if you get this right,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26you've knocked out Judith and she'll come back and be cross with me.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29A neutron probe is a device normally used by geographers
0:09:29 > 0:09:35and farmers to detect the amount of what in soil?
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I don't think it's water. Definitely going to rule out water.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46I'm going to go for nitrates.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I know nitrates are very important in soil,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51so I'm going to go for nitrates.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- It's water, funnily enough! - Oh, it is water?- Yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Simple as that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Thought that was a divining rod!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01That's the old-style technique, I think. Judith, your question.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04If you get this wrong, you are... I don't even want to say it!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The carboniferous period,
0:10:07 > 0:10:12lasting from approximately 360 million to 290 million years ago,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14was part of which geological era?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I don't think it was the Palaeozoic cos that's very much further...
0:10:23 > 0:10:24That's further back.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I just feel I'm completely and utterly jinxed today.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- Um, the Cenozoic. - The answer is Palaeozoic, Judith.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh, the one I ruled out.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Well, we praised you for your brilliant work in science rounds,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and I'm afraid it's come undone in a terrible way.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Thanks a lot, Jeremy! You've done it again, that's all I'm saying!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- It was just a glancing compliment. - No, you got magical powers. Jinx.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Heather, well done, you're in the final round.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- You've knocked Judith out.- Thank you.- Your team are pulling back.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- I feel bad, Judith.- I'm so glad. You ought to.- I want to apologise.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- After the history incident... - Yeah. You haven't learned.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17I praised the fact that you'd got all the questions right for ages,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and then you got none right, and that was a disaster.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- And I've done it again. - Yes, you have.- I didn't mean to.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Well, I'm sure you didn't. Don't do it a third time is all I'm saying! - All right! I won't!
0:11:27 > 0:11:32The challengers have lost one brain from the final round and the Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Next subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Oh, that's Liz. Your strong subject. - Good, OK. So, against which Egghead?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- It can't, thankfully, be Judith. - Right.- Or CJ.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Hmm, that's a difficult one. - Yeah, it is. What about...- Um, Pat?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Pat or Kevin?- Barry?- Pat, I think.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I think we'll go with Pat.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We heard all three names. Pat, OK. Pat on Geography.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I like Geography. I'm not very well travelled.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Liz from Law Unto Themselves versus Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Please go to the question room now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- So, Pat, you haven't travelled outside Europe?- No, I haven't.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Just hasn't happened.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Have you travelled outside the UK and Ireland?- Oh, yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I've been to various places in Europe. I haven't been beyond.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Liz, are you well travelled? - Not really.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24I have been to New Zealand and I've been to America, but mostly Europe.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25But you snapped up Geography,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28so I think you really want the subject?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31No, I just like the subject of Geography, really,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34so whether I'll be able to answer the questions is another matter.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Good luck to you. Three multiple-choice questions.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Liz, you can choose the first or second set.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'll go with the first, please.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Here we go, good luck. What is the official currency of Luxembourg?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Hmm. Goodness me. My first instinct was the euro.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Um...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I think I'm going to...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05..go with the euro.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm glad you did. It's right. They're in the Erozone.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Pat, your question.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13The island of Sri Lanka is located in which ocean?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20It's sometimes, I think, referred to as the teardrop of India
0:13:20 > 0:13:24and it lies just to the southeast of India,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26which places it in the Indian Ocean.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30The Indian Ocean is correct, so one each.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And back to you, Liz.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33The great Ocean Road,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37featuring the limestone stack formations known as the 12 Apostles,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41is a scenic drive along the southern coast of which country?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm drawn to Australia. I don't know why.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Um, I don't think it will be along the south coast of the USA.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And the south coast, um,
0:13:56 > 0:14:01well, the south coast of New Zealand is pretty mountainous.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Gosh, I have to make a decision.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I'm going to go with New Zealand.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12TEAM GROANS
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Oh, you had it and then you let it slip away.- No!
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Australia is the answer. Your team are mortified.- Mmm.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25OK, Pat, your chance to take the lead now.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The ski resort of Meribel is in which country?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34My first instinct is France, it just sounds very French.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38But I'm not sure I can place it on a map.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I don't think it's Italy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I couldn't place it accurately on the map,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but my first instinct was it was in France.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47France is the right answer.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Pat, you're ahead. That means you need to get this one right, Liz, OK?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Right.- Here's your third question -
0:14:54 > 0:14:58what is the largest but most sparsely populated South African province?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Again, I don't have an actual clue.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Um...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13and I can't apply too much logic to it,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17because I don't actually know where they all are.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I'm going to go with Northern Cape.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Northern Cape is the right answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25GENTLE CHEERING
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Wow.- And that is a hard question.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I don't know the answer to that and I used to live there. OK, Pat,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34the Essequibo, which is over 600 miles in length,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36is the longest river in which country?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39If you get this right, Pat, you've taken the round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Paraguay has the Paraguay River.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Chile has the Biobio and Guyana has Essequibo.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51So it's Guyana.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54These are all places that you have not been to.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56No, I've not been to any of them, sadly.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00So you learned about them from poring over books?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Telly, books, whatever, yeah.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Guyana is the right answer.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06You've got the round. Three out of three.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Liz, sorry! It was those Apostles, in Australia...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Yes. They got me. - ..that threw you.- Yes.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The last subject is Sport. Who wants it?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- That's you, Warren! - Sadly, I'm afraid it's me.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29OK. Against which Egghead?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32It can be Barry or Kevin on sport.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- I think Kevin? I think Kevin, yes. - Go with Kevin.- Kevin.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Kevin likes his sports?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It depends on the sport, to a certain extent, yes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Warren from Law Unto Themselves against Kevin from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Last round before the final - please take your positions.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I will ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54and, Warren, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I'm going to change tradition and go second set.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Kevin, your first question,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Mitchell Johnson is most associated with performing which role
0:17:06 > 0:17:09for the Australian cricket team?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Has occasionally been a bit of a hero for them, he's a fast bowler.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Fast bowler is the right answer.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Warren,
0:17:21 > 0:17:26China's Lin Dan won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games
0:17:26 > 0:17:27in which sport?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Ah. Um, I don't know him.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I really haven't got a clue, so I'll have to take a stab at that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I think they're pretty good at badminton,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45so I'll go badminton.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You've got it right. Well done.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- APPLAUSE - One point each.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Kevin,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Bebe, Gabriel Obertan and Darron Gibson
0:17:55 > 0:17:58were members of which Premier league football squad
0:17:58 > 0:18:00during the 2010-11 season?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Bebe I assume is B-E-B-E.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yes. With accents on both Es.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Obertan and Darron Gibson.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I'm pretty sure that's Manchester United.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16The correct answer is Manchester United. Well done, Kevin.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19He has the lead, cos you let him go first. See if you can catch up.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Which European country won tennis's Davis Cup
0:18:21 > 0:18:25in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2009?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I think I need to get CJ to answer this question for me.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38I'm again going to have to take a stab. I'm drawn to Australia.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Um, or France.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I don't think it's Spain.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I'm going to with my gut reaction, Australia.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Let's see what CJ says. - I would've gone for Spain.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Spain is the answer, Warren. Bad luck.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Kevin, your chance to take the round.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Under what official name did 12 of the 15 former Soviet republics
0:18:58 > 0:19:00compete at the Barcelona Olympics?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, they called themselves the Unified Team.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- What year was that?- '92.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15'92.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Unified Team is right, Kevin. You've taken the round on Sport -
0:19:17 > 0:19:19you'll be in the final. Warren, sorry
0:19:19 > 0:19:22you've been knocked out. If you rejoin your teams,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25we will play the final round.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:32 > 0:19:35won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38So Libby, Liz and Warren from Law Unto Themselves
0:19:38 > 0:19:43and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Robin, you are now being unleashed into the contest.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- We'll see.- There's a lot resting on your shoulders here.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Robin and Heather, you are playing to win A Law Unto Themselves £3,000.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Barry, Pat, Kevin and CJ,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08So, Law Unto Themselves,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15And would you like to go first or second, Robin and Heather?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16We're going first, please.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Here we go - good luck to you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25In which year were the businessman Richard Branson,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29the singer Karen Carpenter and the TV presenter Jay Leno born?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Oh, gosh.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Before my time.- I think Karen Carpenter is younger than me.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Is she? A lot younger? - No, a bit younger.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- When were you born?- '49.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- '45.- No, Richard Branson's younger.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Is he?- No, '50. - Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Er...- So, cross out '45.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It's either '50 or '55.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- I think probably '55.- Do you think?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Richard Branson is quite old. - Is he as old as me?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Go 1950, then? - I'm inclined to go 1950.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- OK. We'll do that.- Go 1950?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- Then I can blame you.- You can blame me. 1950.- 1950, Jeremy.
0:21:19 > 0:21:231950. I like the way you went one way, went the other.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26You've got it right, well done. 1950 it is.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29So they are in their 60s now. Yes.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Eggheads, your question,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33let's see if you can get this final round.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38For what J stand in the name of the author JM Barrie?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- James.- James Matthew. - All agreed?- Yes, James.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46We're all agreed on that, and it's James Barrie.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49James is the right answer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Your question,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52one point each, here we go.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Who did Mehmet Ali Agca shoot in May, 1981?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It definitely wasn't Ronald Reagan.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'm certain it was Pope John Paul II.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I'll go with that one. - Pope John Paul II.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- You said it's definitely not Ronald Reagan?- Not Ronald Reagan.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You got it completely right. Pope John Paul II is correct.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Here's your question, Eggheads -
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Start Without You was a UK number one single in 2010
0:22:24 > 0:22:26for which former X Factor contestant?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34X Factor. Are all three of those X Factor veterans?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think they all are.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Is that the video with Olly Murs,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and there's an ice cream van?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I think it's the one where he's standing on a bridge
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and starts going backwards and forwards?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- It said number one, didn't it? - That was number one.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49My instinct is Olly Murs.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- My instinct without a great deal of confidence is Olly Murs.- Ditto.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56That's good enough for me - I can't add anything to this.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- OK...- OK?- Yes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01As you probably gathered from the tenor of our conversation,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03we're not entirely convinced,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05but the general view is that it's Olly Murs.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Olly Murs is your answer. Do you know?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I would've gone Alexandra Burke.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You're wrong, Eggheads. It's Alexandra Burke.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- If you get this one right, you've beaten them.- No pressure, then(!)
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Well, it's a multiple choice question.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The St Scholastica Day Riot,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27a dispute over alcohol, which left over 60 people dead,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30took place in 1355 in which English city?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35- Is it York?- York, I think York.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I should've done some more historic research when I lived there!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- I think Oxford and Cambridge are too scholastic.- Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Shall we go for York?- Yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- We'll go for York. It's a bit of a guess.- York, Jeremy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Your answer is York, on the basis, I was listening to your logic,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- that Oxford and Cambridge are too scholastic?- Yes!- OK.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Anyone know here? - I think it's Oxford.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Oxford is the answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Oh!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Let's hope that's not curtains for you.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Eggheads, if you get this one wrong, you've lost the contest.
0:24:06 > 0:24:13Which artist married the Danish woman Mette-Sophie Gad in 1873?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Gauguin.- Gauguin? - Gauguin was married to a Dane.- OK.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Matisse would only have been,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30er, how old would he have been? He'd have been four in 1873.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32So, it's not Matisse.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I'm not aware of Renoir having been married to a Dane,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38but Gauguin definitely was married to a Dane.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42And he would've been about 25 then.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I'm reliably informed by Kevin that Matisse was only four in 1873,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47so it was unlikely to be him.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52We're not sure about who Renoir married or if indeed he was married,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54but we do believe it was Paul Gauguin.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The correct answer is Paul Gauguin.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well done, Eggheads, you live to fight another day.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Sudden Death, you're still well in there, you can beat them.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07It gets a bit harder, though - I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12The brothers Declan and Con Cluskey and John Stokes
0:25:12 > 0:25:14comprised which 1960s group
0:25:14 > 0:25:18who had a UK number one single in 1964 with the song Diane?
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- Diane.- Diane.- It's not The Bachelors, is it?- It could be, yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- It's more of your area than mine! - Thank you(!)
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yes, we'll go with The Bachelors. - The Bachelors.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35The only one I can think of. The Bachelors.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- The Bachelors is the right answer. - Yes!- Well done, Robin.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43If you get this wrong, Eggheads, the contest is over.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Which German manufacturer, best known for producing World War II aircraft,
0:25:47 > 0:25:53designed the KR200 bubble car, or Kabinenroller, in the 1950s?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57THEY CONFER
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Messerschmitt did a bubble car.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Messerschmitt did a bubble car? - Mmm.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Anybody have any others?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08THEY CONFER
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Fokker... - Heinkel, Junkers, Fokker...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15We know Messerschmitt made a bubble car.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19We don't know that anybody else did, but we know Messerschmitt did.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20We'll have to go for that one.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23There were many German aircraft manufacturers,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25of which we've named a few,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29but we do know Messerschmitt were one company that made a bubble car, so Messerschmitt is the answer.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I detect you're not totally certain about it,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35but you are right, Messerschmitt is the answer,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38so you're completely level, you're on Sudden Death,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40and the next question to you, Law Unto Themselves -
0:26:40 > 0:26:43who was US Secretary of State from 1977 to 1980?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Um, I don't know this. - Henry Kissinger, wasn't it?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Henry Kissinger? - Henry Kissinger, Jeremy.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Henry Kissinger is wrong - he was a bit earlier, for Nixon.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59This is when Jimmy Carter was President. Anyone know?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Cyrus Vance. - Cyrus Vance is the answer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Cyrus Vance.- Don't know that name.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07OK, Eggheads, if you get this one right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's been touch and go, but here you are.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Which 19th-century writer was known as the Sage of Chelsea?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- That was Thomas Carlyle. - Thomas Carlyle.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21This is a fine writer, Thomas Carlyle.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You did all seem to know that.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26He lived in Cheyne Row in Chelsea, for many years.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31His house is a National Trust property now. You can go over it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The correct answer is Thomas Carlyle.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It's a bit like they say in the Premiership,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47you've got to take your chances in front of goal...
0:27:47 > 0:27:52with that Scholastica question, that was the moment. Sorry about that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Never mind.- They gradually reasserted themselves.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Thanks for playing such a good game. - Thank you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Commiserations to the challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:01 > 0:28:03and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm afraid that means you won't go home with the £3,000,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
