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 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they have won some of the country's
0:00:33 > 0:00:37toughest quiz shows. They are, of course, the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Lethal Quizzle.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Now, this team of friends are all
0:00:42 > 0:00:45third-year dentistry students at Bristol University.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 21, and I'm a dental student.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Ross, I'm 21, and I'm a dental student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 20, and I'm a dental student.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Saqib, I'm 21, and I'm a dental student.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Lee, I'm 21, and I'm also a dental student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- So, Mike and team, great to have you. Welcome.- Thank you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- And you're all studying to be dentists?- Yes, that's correct.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- OK, so you're how far, roughly, down the course?- We're about halfway now.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Halfway through third year in a five-year course.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19So you've done all the drilling and the filling, have you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Sort of started doing that at the start of this year.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25There was a lot of pre-clinical stuff beforehand, and now we're treating people, so it's good going.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Has anyone on the course decided "This is not for me because it is all just a bit too painful?"
0:01:29 > 0:01:32There's been a few.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34About three or four people dropped out for whatever reason,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36but most people doing it are still going.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Your team name is Lethal Quizzle. - Yes.- Now what's that's to do with?
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Well, we wanted a funny name, so we picked a name based on this
0:01:46 > 0:01:49hip-hop artist who is fairly new on the scene.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52He's called Lethal Bizzle, and we've actually informed him via Twitter
0:01:52 > 0:01:54that he will be representing us, sort of.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- So, he knows we're on.- Has he got a Bristol connection then?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Not that I'm aware of.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's more in connection to the name, Quiz, that we went with.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Cos people in Bristol, locals, do call it Brizzle,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- so there's a bit of that as well? - We could have gone with that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- That's probably a better answer!- The Quizzles from Brizzle.- Absolutely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up-for-grabs
0:02:16 > 0:02:19for our challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24So, Lethal Quizzle, I can tell you the Eggheads
0:02:24 > 0:02:26have won the last six games,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29which means £7,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Do you want to have a go? - Absolutely.- We'll try.- All right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Which dentist wants this?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- OK, guys.- Paul, are you strong at Arts & Books?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43It's not my strongest subject, Lee.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I would say go with Paul.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- I thought you read quite a lot of books.- OK, we can go with it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55All right, Paul, we're sensing you have been press-ganged into this.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- THEY LAUGH - I think that's pretty clear.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Who looks weak? Who looks as if they don't read very much?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I think I'm going to try against Daphne.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Right, Paul from Lethal Quizzle against our Daphne
0:03:09 > 0:03:11from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20OK, so Paul, it's three questions on Arts & Books.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We do appreciate you are a reluctant contestant in this round,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26but you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27I'll go first, please.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Your question. To which seaside town, home to his Great-aunt Betsy,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39does David Copperfield run when he leaves London?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46My mind's drawn a blank here, I'm afraid.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'm not too familiar with it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm going to take a guess at Dover.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Is he right, Daphne?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Yes.- You are right, Paul. It's a good start.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Nothing wrong with luck!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Daphne, which English comedic actor
0:04:01 > 0:04:04wrote the 2010 autobiography Nerd Do Well?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Nerd is N-E-R-D.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Oh, crumbs!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Well, it's not Russell Brand.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I haven't heard it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Um...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I would say out of the other two, Simon Pegg.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You've got it right. Simon Pegg it is.
0:04:27 > 0:04:291-1. Back to you, Paul.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33The twins Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan are central characters
0:04:33 > 0:04:36in a series of books by Enid Blyton featuring which boarding school?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Again, not too familiar.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'm not too familiar with Enid Blyton's books.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm sure my grandparents are, and they'll be watching this.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52And shouting the answer at the TV, I'm sure.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56But I'm going to take another punt at St Bernadette's.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I was certain you were going to get that right, but it's St Clare's.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Daphne, which Shakespeare play features foolish servants
0:05:03 > 0:05:05called Speed and Launce?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Um...
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Ah! The Two Gentlemen Of Verona.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The Two Gentlemen Of Verona is the right answer.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Back we go to you, Paul. You need to get this one right, OK?- Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Which artist won the 2010 Turner Prize
0:05:28 > 0:05:31for a sound installation that featured her own voice?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Well, there's a reason I didn't take Books & Arts.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Again, no idea.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I'm going to take a complete guess at Angela de la Cruz.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's see if anyone on your team knows.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Is it maybe Gillian Wearing, no?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- I think it's Susan Philipsz. - Eggheads?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57It is. Very good. Yeah, they've got it here.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Susan Philipsz it is, Paul, so there's no way back for you
0:06:01 > 0:06:02after three questions.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You've been beaten by Daphne. Doesn't need a third question.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Daphne, you will be in the final, Paul, you've been knocked out.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Early days, but the challengers have lost one brain
0:06:14 > 0:06:18from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- The next subject is Geography. How's this?- Yeah, it's better.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Got a contingency plan here. - Ross.- I'm up.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Ross is up, yeah? Looking eager, good. Against which Egghead?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Can't be Daphne.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Why don't we go for Pat? - You think Pat?- Yeah.- Go for Pat.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Pat? Pat, please.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I can tell you that Pat recently revealed
0:06:39 > 0:06:41he had never travelled outside Europe.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Has that changed since you said that a couple of days ago?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46No, I'm afraid I'm still trapped, trapped in Europe.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51OK, so it's Ross from Lethal Quizzle against Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Ross, you came out confidently there with Geography.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I wouldn't say confidently. It was just part of the contingency plan.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04But you picked Pat just because you think you've got the measure of him?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, you know, out of the remaining Eggheads,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I thought, you know, that's who I wanted to go for.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12He likes to hide his light under a bushel.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16He has played Geography, I think, 19 times, Pat, in the main games.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You played Matthew Pinsent once in the celebrity.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Lost to him in the celebrity one, but the 19, you've won all of them.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Well, that's good!- It is. - That sounds good. None in 19.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Ross, you can choose to go first or second.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Which do you want? - Can I go first, please?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Good luck. Kandahar is a city and region in which Asian country?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm going on a little drive over summer,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54passing through a few countries on the way to Mongolia
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and Tajikistan's one of them.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Now, I'm trying to think when I've been looking at a map
0:07:59 > 0:08:03if I've remembered that being a city or if I can eliminate it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I think it's in Tajikistan, Jeremy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm afraid the answer is Afghanistan.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15It's been in the news a bit with the war and so on. OK, Pat, over to you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Bikini Atoll is located in which ocean?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Well, the various powers developing their atomic devices
0:08:28 > 0:08:33weren't entirely stupid when they did the tests and they did them
0:08:33 > 0:08:35as far away as they could possibly manage.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36So, it's in the Pacific.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Pacific is the right answer. Is it near Hawaii, then?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41It's further south, I think.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46It's in that vast scattering of archipelagos in the South Pacific.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Bikini Atoll, Pacific, correct. Well done. Back to you, Ross.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54The island of Falster in the Baltic Sea is part of which country?
0:08:58 > 0:09:04Well, its location would lead me to say Estonia.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So that's what I'm going to go for.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Help us out here, Eggheads.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- Denmark.- Denmark.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- But is he right that Estonia and the Baltic sea...?- Yes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Same neighbourhood.- They all have borders on the Baltic Sea.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- They all do?- Yes, it's right down in the southern end of Denmark.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Daphne says it's the southern end of Denmark, Ross,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30and maybe why you had missed it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, Pat, you're up against the dentist.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37If you get this one right, he's going to produce his drill.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42California has borders with Arizona, Nevada and which other US state?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I think, going down the West Coast north to south,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I think it's Washington, Oregon, California.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Yes, Washington's at the top with Seattle and below it is Oregon
0:10:00 > 0:10:05with a northern border with California, so it's Oregon.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06And where's Idaho?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Idaho is to the east of Washington State.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Oregon is the right answer, Pat. Well done.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Sorry, Ross. What can I say?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Oh, well. I wish I'd gone for the second questions,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20cos I knew both of those.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24That's good, that's good. I'm sorry. You've been knocked out by Pat.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27He swings a heavy punch, I'm afraid.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29You won't be in the final round and he will,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33and please, both of you, rejoin us here in the studio.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36As it stands, the challengers lost two brains from the final round,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The next subject is Film & Television.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Is that better for you?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Do you want to have a go, Lee?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'll try it. It's probably not my strongest.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You're a fan of Colin Firth.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Am I? I thought we weren't bringing that up?!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- THEY LAUGH - I didn't even hear it!
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Lee against who?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Who should I go against?- Chris, CJ or Barry.- What do you think, guys?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Who should I be challenging?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Go for Barry, I think.- Barry?- Yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09All right, then. I will choose Barry, please.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13OK, so Lee from Lethal Quizzle against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20All right, Film & Television is the round
0:11:20 > 0:11:24and you can choose the first or the second set of questions, Lee.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27It's not worked that well so far but I am going to stick with first.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Here we go, all the best to you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Hope you can start turning it around for your team.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Which 2010 film directed by Danny Boyle is based on the true story
0:11:38 > 0:11:42of an American climber who's forced to take drastic action
0:11:42 > 0:11:44after becoming trapped in a canyon in Utah?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53OK, it's not a film that I've seen but I do know the answer.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's 127 Hours.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59127 Hours is the right answer! Well done, Lee.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03There was a wonderful thing about this film. In all the posters,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06it said, "This film contains one scene of extreme, gory violence,"
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and you wonder, "Hmm, I wonder what scene that could be?"
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Barry, your question.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Which actor played the character Goose in the film Top Gun
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and Dr Greene in the hospital drama ER?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Ah, George Clooney, to the best of my knowledge, wasn't in Top Gun,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I believe Anthony Edwards was in both so that's my answer.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Anthony Edwards is quite right, Barry. Back to you, Lee.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Let's keep the momentum here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39What was the name of the character played by Judi Dench
0:12:39 > 0:12:42in the TV drama series Cranford?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Again it's not something I've seen,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53so it's hard for me to know the character.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm going to have to take a guess,
0:12:58 > 0:13:03and there's two that I'm kind of more keen on going for than the other.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'm going to go for...
0:13:09 > 0:13:10..Miss...
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Octavia Pole.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Let's have a look. Daphne, you will know this.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yeah, it's Miss Matty.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Miss Matty Jenkyns is the answer. Lee, sorry.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23What took you to Octavia Pole?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- I'm not sure, really. - It's a good name.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28The name kind of stood out. It's a name that I've heard.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I don't know if it's from another programme or...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Anyone help us with Octavia Pole? Made-up name?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- No, it is from something. - From something?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I was thinking I have heard it before, but I can't place it.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42She's in the same programme, I think. So, it was tough, Lee.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45You were very warm.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Barry, who played the title role in the 2001 comedy film
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Mike Bassett: England Manager?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Ooh, this was one of those films that I meant to see
0:13:59 > 0:14:01and I never got around to seeing.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06All fine comedic actors, but I just have a feeling it was Warren Clarke.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- You've got it wrong.- Oh! - It was Ricky Tomlinson.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Ah! Should have gone with my first thought.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So we go back to you, Lee.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Now, this is a chance for you to take the lead here, Lee.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Yeah, hopefully.- So, it's a big moment for the dentists.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Which Scottish actor who co-created the sitcom The High Life
0:14:27 > 0:14:31in the 1990s appeared in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut
0:14:31 > 0:14:34as well as one of the X-Men series of films?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42HE SIGHS
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I'm possibly too young to know the answer to this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47HE MOUTHS
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think I'm going to go for Peter Capaldi.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I think the Scottish name is John Gordon. The Scottish actor.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Yeah, it's not Peter Capaldi, it's not John Gordon Sinclair.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Alan Cumming is the answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Barry has a chance to take the round
0:15:05 > 0:15:08now with his third question. Here we go, Barry.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Who was nominated for an Oscar for his direction of the 1953
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Western film Shane, starring Alan Ladd?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Oh, this is a classic Western.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think it features the famous line,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28"A man's got to do what a man's got to do."
0:15:28 > 0:15:31But who was the director?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I really, really should know this.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I'll just tell you. Was it Fred Zinnemann or George Stevens?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I have a feeling...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43My feelings haven't been helping me much in this game,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46but I'm going to go for George Stevens.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Why did you go for George?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51As Daphne would put it, I have an inkle.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's one step below an inkling, is an inkle.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56They specialise in them.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Your inkle served you well - George Stevens is the correct answer.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06Sorry, Lee, you've been knocked out by Barry on Film & TV.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10And if you both come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14So, as it stands, the challengers have now lost three brains
0:16:14 > 0:16:18from the final round whilst the Eggheads still haven't lost a brain.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20The last subject is History.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Is this going to turn things around?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What do you think, Saqib? - Do you want me to take History?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, he's got a better general knowledge.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Your general knowledge is probably better, so I'll go for History.- OK.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32I'll go for history.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Mike on History. OK. Which Egghead? You've got CJ or Chris.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I can see he's been raring to go all day, so I'll go for CJ.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42He loves being chosen, don't you?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- I do like playing.- Yeah, of course. Cos you like to sit in a small room and look at a camera.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Yes! Which is what the general public want as well.- It is indeed.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Of course, of course it is!
0:16:50 > 0:16:54So, Mike from Lethal Quizzle against CJ the legendary Egghead.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- So, Mike, another dentist in waiting?- Yep, that's true.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03But you want to be a golfer?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'd love to be a golfer but I'm not quite good enough.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Do you just keep practising in between your dentistry classes?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Yeah, evenings and weekends, maybe. I'll keep going, you never know.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Is that one of your sports, CJ? You seem to know a lot about the US Open and things like that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19As far as I'm concerned, Mark Twain had the right idea.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- "Good walk spoiled."- Yep.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23He's in a good mood, isn't he?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Absolutely!- Going to enjoy watching you take CJ apart now, OK?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29This has to be where Lethal Quizzle come back.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- That's the plan. - OK, and you're the team captain,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34so it's a vital moment in the contest, this.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Would you like the first or the second set of questions on History?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I'll go first as well, please.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Here is your question.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47In what year did the United States enter World War II?
0:17:53 > 0:17:59OK, well, my World War II knowledge isn't fantastic but, um...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02..yeah, I'll just have a think.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09I'm going to go straight down the middle and go for '42.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11'42. CJ, do you know this?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'm not absolutely sure.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Pearl Harbor was bombed on 7 December 1941
0:18:16 > 0:18:20and I assume war was declared straight after that, so I'd try '41.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yeah, he's right as well.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- '41 is the answer, Mike.- OK.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So, CJ, you can take the lead if you get this first question right.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, was born in which year?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41A-ha!
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Not 1789, that's too early.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Now when did they marry?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I can't remember what year they got married in.
0:18:50 > 0:18:541819's surely too late.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I'm not absolutely sure but I think it's got to be 1809.
0:19:01 > 0:19:031809 is the wrong answer, CJ.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- It's 1819.- Oh! That late?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, let's have a go
0:19:09 > 0:19:11with this one then, Mike.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15At a battle near Chalons in 451 AD,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19whose army opposed the Roman general Aetius?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25OK, um...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Again, my knowledge is pretty limited.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I've only actually heard of one of them.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I'm sure they're all real but I've only heard of one of them,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36so I'll go with that one and I'll go with Attila.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Attila is the right answer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- OK.- Well done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46He's ahead of you, CJ! Here we are, your question.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Which piece of standard equipment for millions of British troops
0:19:50 > 0:19:54during the First World War was designed by John Leopold Brodie?
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Now, you said designed. To me, that doesn't strike as a rifle.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But the steel helmet worn in the First World War did have
0:20:06 > 0:20:08a very distinctive shape,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12so I just wonder if that was what was specifically designed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I don't recognise Brodie's name, unfortunately.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Simply because I can't see a rifle being designed as such
0:20:18 > 0:20:24and boots were fairly standard, I'd have thought, I'll try steel helmet.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Steel helmet is the right answer. Chris, do you know about this one?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yeah, well, for the first few months of World War I, of course,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35they went into battle in their ordinary sort of soft peak caps.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And the tin hat steel helmet was designed in a hurry
0:20:38 > 0:20:42to rectify this situation because we were getting a lot of head wounds.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43And the British one was symmetrical?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Yeah, the British one is a pudding basin, basically.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48The French had their own pattern, the so-called Adrian pattern.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And of course, the Germans had the coal scuttle.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Although, originally they had the Pickelhaube with the spike on top
0:20:54 > 0:20:56which they wore with a cloth cover.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Then the 1916 German pattern helmet was the coal scuttle
0:20:59 > 0:21:02which is slightly bigger than the familiar Nazi pattern
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and the two lugs on the side for the visor.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yeah, you could tell a soldier by the shape of his helmet, basically.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10All right. Mike, your question now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You get this right, you go into the lead.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Maybe you can dislodge him,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- maybe things start to turn and the next thing you know, you've won. - Let's hope so.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Parliament asserted its supremacy over the monarch
0:21:23 > 0:21:26by passing the Bill Of Rights during which reign?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I think I remember roughly covering this in a history class once before,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37but I'm afraid I'm not sure of the answer. Erm...
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Again, I'm going to have a guess, I'm going to go with Henry VIII.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44No, it's not Henry VIII. Anyone here?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- EGGHEADS:- William and Mary. - William and Mary.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- So William and Mary is the right answer, Mike.- OK.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52CJ, your question.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Around the time of the 23rd century BC,
0:21:55 > 0:22:00the ruler Sargon The Great governed which ancient empire?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06This is one of the very early chapters
0:22:06 > 0:22:08in the history of the world book I've read.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I don't think Sargon was the Harappan.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I don't know anything about the Kushites
0:22:16 > 0:22:18but I know a little about the Akkadians.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24I'm not at all sure but I'll try the Akkadians.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Barry knows this.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Yes, he was definitely the Akkadian.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30It was the first empire ever founded in the world.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Akkadian is the right answer, CJ, so you have two points, Mike has one.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38CJ, you're in the final, and Mike, I'm sorry to say you're not.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Please come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So, here we are. This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It is time for the final round, as always, General Knowledge.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:50 > 0:22:52won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:22:52 > 0:22:57so Mike, Ross, Paul and Lee from Lethal Quizzle,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01would you please leave the studio?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Well, Saqib, here we are.- Yeah. - How are you feeling about it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Still quietly confident, I'm not going to lie. Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- It's been done before and I think I can do it again.- Good, excellent.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- You're playing to win Lethal Quizzle £7,000.- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Back there, they're going to be very grateful to you if you win it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17I'm sure there will, yeah.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:21 > 0:23:23the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27The questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and I usually say you are allowed to confer,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- but obviously it's difficult in the situation that you're in.- Yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37So the question here is, is your one brain, Saqib, better
0:23:37 > 0:23:40than the Eggheads' five brains? Do you want to go first or second?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I think we'll go for a change of plan and I'll go second, please.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Here we go, Eggheads, with your first question.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Which pop star made headlines in 2010
0:23:52 > 0:23:55when she wore a dress purportedly made out of raw meat?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Sounds like Lady Gaga. - I thought that was Daphne!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Yeah.- Lady Gaga.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Yes, it was.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Looked disgusting.- Yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Got to be a joke there about Bad Romance and bad meat,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15but it would be too laboured to get there, so it's Lady Gaga.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Lady Gaga is the right answer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And obviously, Daphne, you won't be, as you say,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- trying that any time soon.- No!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Not at all enjoyable.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Right, your question, Saqib.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31What is the title of the studio album by Lou Reed that contains
0:24:31 > 0:24:35the songs Perfect Day, Walk On The Wild Side and Satellite Of Love?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Um, I've heard the song.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Obviously, Perfect Day's a really, really famous song.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I don't know the album name, but just looking at it,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50what just looks right is Transformer for some reason,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52so I'll go with that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55You've got it right. Transformer is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Eggheads, Filton Airport serves which English city?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I think that might be Bristol.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Filton's where the Bristol aircraft factory used to be,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08so it's got to be Bristol, hasn't it?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Filton's definitely in Bristol. - Not going to argue on this one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Brabazon and all that.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Oh, the Brabazon?- Yes.- Don't get me started! Yeah, it's Bristol, Jeremy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It is Bristol, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's where you're studying!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Bristol is the right answer. Oh, that's a shame.- Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28That would have been almost a freebie that question for you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Here's your second question.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Who's most likely to use a Snellen chart in their place of work?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Could you spell Snellen for me, please, Jeremy?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Snellen is capital S-N-E-L-L-E-N. Snellen chart.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50In my head, possibly a Snellen chart is the thing you go to
0:25:50 > 0:25:53when you get your eyes checked. Possibly.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57So, therefore, for that reason I'm going to go for an optometrist.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Optometrist is the right answer.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Very, very confident play
0:26:02 > 0:26:04by young Saqib here.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Could we be in for an upset? I wonder, I wonder!
0:26:08 > 0:26:12OK, third question to Eggheads. Let's see.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16George Raynor managed which football team to the final
0:26:16 > 0:26:18of the 1958 World Cup?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Sweden got to the final of the 1958 World Cup.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Brazil won it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- CJ:- Yeah, in '58.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'm fairly certain they beat Sweden in the final. It wasn't Uruguay.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Uruguay and Italy, I don't think, were in the final.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We're fairly sure it's not Uruguay.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- I think they'd finished by then, hadn't they?- Yeah.- Barry?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- I'm pretty certain Sweden had an English manager at the time.- OK.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Right, OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, you know my opinion of 22 overpaid buffoons
0:26:50 > 0:26:52punting a pig's bladder about a field,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55but the consensus of opinion over here is that it was Sweden.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Sweden is the right answer. Well done. Three out of three for you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01They haven't made it easy for you, Saqib,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but you're playing well. You've got two right.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07If you get one more right, you'll have scored as many in the final
0:27:07 > 0:27:10as the entire team did in their individual rounds put together.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13So, here's your third question to take them to Sudden Death.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Which American entertainer was UNICEF's first
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Goodwill Ambassador, appointed in 1954?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- 1954 was the year?- Yep.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The only one out of them three that I've heard of is Bob Hope.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And...
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Danny Kaye?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Doesn't ring a bell. 1952 did you say?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43- Let me read it again.- OK.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49Which American entertainer was UNICEF's first Goodwill Ambassador,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51appointed in 1954?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I'm going to go for the one that came into my head first
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and that's Bob Hope.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Bob Hope is your answer.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Eggheads, do you know?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- EGGHEADS:- Danny Kaye. - Danny Kaye is the right answer.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05So, bad luck.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Valiant attempt at the end to turn things around
0:28:08 > 0:28:11but congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I thought you were just going to go bang, bang, bang.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Yeah, that was the plan in my head, yeah.- Completely wipe them out there.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- You had the look of determination. - Yeah, I did.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32I'm afraid it does mean that Lethal Quizzle won't go home with £7,000,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:41 > 0:28:42to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46£8,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
