0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the Slann-Clan Plus One,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43from the village of Chinley in Derbyshire.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Greg and Laurence, make up the Slanns,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52just leaving Laurence's friend Taha to complete the quintet.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Angie, I'm 56, and I'm an assistant lecturer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nigel, I'm 53, and I'm a current operations manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Greg, I'm 19, and I'm a mechanical engineering student.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Laurence, I'm 21, and I'm a materials engineering student.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Taha, I'm 21, and I'm an economics student.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Angie and team, welcome.- Thank you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17So, the Slann-Clan is the family,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and Taha, you're the additional one on the end?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Friend of the family.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You had a vehicle that used to take the family round?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Yes, when they were youngsters at the primary school in Chinley,
0:01:28 > 0:01:34we had a car that was white, and it was one of the big, six-seater cars.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And people would say, "Look, the Slann-Clan Van!"
0:01:37 > 0:01:39That's how we ended up being the Slann-Clan,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41purely because of the car.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44OK, so you rolled into the studio to beat these Eggheads here.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45- And good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51However, if they fail
0:01:51 > 0:01:55to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59So Slann-Clan Plus One, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which means £9,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Are you ready to try?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- ALL: Yes.- Here we go.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Do we have a plan for Music? - PARENTS: Music, guys?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I can do it, if you want.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- I don't know any music. - NIGEL:- OK. Go on, Taha.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Give it a go.- ANGIE: Be brave.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Against which Eggheads? - NIGEL:- Judith?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Yeah, I'll play Judith, please. - Judith on Music.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- That's good news for you, Judith! - Not terribly.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Means you can't have Sport!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37It means I can't have Sport, but Music might be... I'm not sure.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Taha from the Slann-Clan Plus One
0:02:41 > 0:02:44versus Judith from the Eggheads. To ensure no conferring,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- So, Taha, you were volunteered Music, then?- I was, yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- But you like music yourself? - I do. I'm a keen music fan.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Have you got a band?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59My favourite band is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but my music taste varies quite a lot, so it's all right.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's multiple-choice questions, and you can choose
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- the first or second set. - I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15"I'm nothing special - in fact, I'm a bit of bore" are the opening words
0:03:15 > 0:03:17of which Abba song?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ooh, Abba's not my strong point.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I think my mum was a big fan, so I know most of their songs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Based on the line, I think I'll have to go for
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Lay All Your Love On Me.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Yeah, it's just based on what the first line is, I'm not sure.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's the wrong answer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Thank You For The Music is the right answer, Taha.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45OK, Judith, your question.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Who wrote the lyrics for the musical
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58That was one of the very first Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice
0:03:58 > 0:04:00collaborations, wasn't it?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I think it's Tim Rice.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Tim Rice is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Back to you, Taha.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Which group had nine UK Top 40 singles in the 1990s,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14including the songs Zombie, Linger and Salvation?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I've not heard of Black Grape.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Lemonheads, not entirely sure whether they were big enough to have nine.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So I think I'm going to go for The Cranberries.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The Cranberries is the right answer, well done.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33First point to the challengers.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36OK, Judith, your question. To take the lead.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Which artist's solo albums include Wild Wood, Stanley Road
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and Wake Up The Nation?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Um...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I don't know.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Sting.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55No.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- You know, Taha?- I don't, actually.- OK. Paul Weller.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- I nearly said that. - If you're 45 years old,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03you know that straightaway.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- I'm only 29(!)- I know. I'm 45.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I wasn't suggesting you were for a second!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12OK, so that's quite handy. One point each, Taha.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14If you get this one right, Judith may panic.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Which American composer won the Pulitzer Prize for music
0:05:18 > 0:05:21in 1958 for his opera Vanessa
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and again in 1963 for his piano concerto?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Ooh.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33No, it's not my forte, this topic,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36but I've picked up some names.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41So, I think I'm going to go for Samuel Barber.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- OK. What about Eggheads? - ALL: Barber.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Barber is the right answer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- APPLAUSE - Well done. OK.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51JEREMY LAUGHS
0:05:51 > 0:05:55There we are, very good strategy to play Taha in this round. OK.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Judith, if you get this one wrong, we know what happens.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Who had UK number-one singles in the 1950s with the songs
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Finger Of Suspicion and Christmas Alphabet?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well, I haven't heard of two and three,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15but I have heard of number one, so Dickie Valentine.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Dickie Valentine is the right answer.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, two points each after three questions.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23They were multiple-choice, we go to sudden death, Taha.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- It's harder, I don't give you alternatives. Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Like I Love You, released in 2002,
0:06:30 > 0:06:35was which US singer's first solo UK Top 10 hit single?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41No-one is springing to mind, unfortunately. Um...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I'm going to take a complete stab at this.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I may be going back, or going a bit too late,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51but I'm going to say Christina Aguilera.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- No, it's a bloke, actually, Justin Timberlake.- Ah!
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Judith, if you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02The Heather On The Hill is a song from which musical,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Um, it must be Scottish.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Er, Brigadoon.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Brigadoon is the right answer, Judith, you've taken the round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Sorry, Taha. It can happen against these Eggheads.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22They look as if they're on the ropes and, bang, they just hit you.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Judith, you're in the final round, Taha you've been knocked out.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31As it stands, the Slann-Clan Plus One are minus a brain
0:07:31 > 0:07:33from the final round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35The Eggheads have still got all their brains.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The next subject is Sport.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Who is the Sport person? - When you're ready, Laurence!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44ANGIE: I think we know that.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Laurence, OK. Which Egghead on Sport? Can't be Judith.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50THEY CONFER
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- NIGEL:- Chris?- Yeah, I think I'll play Chris, please.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Oh, that's made him really happy(!) Look at that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58ANGIE: Come on, Chris, a smile!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Yeah, all right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03So Laurence from the Slann-Clan Plus One versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Laurence, it was your idea to put the family forward for the quiz?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It was, yes. Just sitting at home one day, saying, "We could do that."
0:08:13 > 0:08:17You are the one they went to on Sport as soon as I said the word.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Yeah, it should be my thing, hopefully.- OK.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Good luck in this round. Sport against Chris.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Three questions, multiple-choice,
0:08:27 > 0:08:28you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'll go first, please.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Here we go. Good luck.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Who was the British referee at the 2010 football World Cup final?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I actually do know this one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Obviously, I watched the World Cup final. It was Howard Webb.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It was Howard Webb, yeah. Very good.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52OK, Chris, Roehampton in London
0:08:52 > 0:08:56is the location of which sporting centre of excellence?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Now, Roehampton is not too far away from Wimbledon, is it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Up by Putney Heath there.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I know the Froebel Institute is up there.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14The National Rugby Centre would be
0:09:14 > 0:09:16somewhere in South Wales, I would think.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17National Snooker Centre, no.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It's National Tennis Centre at Roehampton.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25National Tennis Centre is correct. One point each. Back to Laurence.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29The Tigers is the nickname of which international cricket team?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I actually know this one as well, I think. It's not West Indies,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38and it's not Australia. I think it's Bangladesh.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Bangladesh is correct.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Here we go, Chris, to keep up.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Traditionally, at which racecourse is
0:09:46 > 0:09:49the Irish Grand National annually staged?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Ooh-hoo.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The Curragh, I don't think so.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It's either Leopardstown or Fairyhouse.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'll go with Leopardstown.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Let's see if Laurence knows. Is he right?- I don't know that.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Horse racing isn't my thing, so I'm lucky.- Pat will know. Pat?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Fairyhouse, I think.- Fairyhouse is
0:10:16 > 0:10:19the right answer, so you're wrong, Chris.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK, Laurence, if you get this right,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24you've taken the round and you're in the final.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26In 2010, the Korean Jiyai Shin
0:10:26 > 0:10:30became the world's number-one sportswoman in which sport?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Um...
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Not my stuff. I don't think it's golf.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Um...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm torn between squash and table tennis.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think I'll take a...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm going to say squash.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- No, it's golf, actually. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Number one golfing woman in the world.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Jiyai Shin.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Which American football quarterback's record
0:11:08 > 0:11:10of 297 consecutive starts
0:11:10 > 0:11:13came to an end in 2010 due to a shoulder injury?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22HE WHISTLES
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Now, Brett Favre has been the answer to a question
0:11:25 > 0:11:27once before on Eggheads.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Er...
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Because he's already broken cover on Eggheads,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'll go with Brett Favre.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36What sort of logic is that?!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40He's been the answer to a question in the past on this programme,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- so he must be the right answer?- Yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43- Desperate stuff.- Yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Brett Favre is the right answer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That does not seem fair, does it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51So, two points each after three questions,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and it goes to Sudden Death.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Keep up the pressure here.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Which British Formula One driver attempted,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02but narrowly failed, to win a place on the British trap shooting team
0:12:02 > 0:12:05for the 1960 Summer Olympics?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I don't know.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Um...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I'm going to say Eddie Jordan.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19No, it was Jackie Stewart. Jackie Stewart.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Chris has the chance to take the round on Sport of all things.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- How about that?- How about that?
0:12:24 > 0:12:30Which English golfer won the 1969 Open and the 1970 US Open?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32English golfer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Er...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Tony Jacklin?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Tony Jacklin is the right answer.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You've done it on Sport.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Laurence, sorry, he's knocked you out.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48If you both come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51A bit of a setback there, Angie.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Yes, disappointing, but never mind, we'll keep going.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55I see Laurence knows his Sport.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59He knows his Sport. He plays it and he knows it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01The Eggheads have lost no brains,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you've lost two, and the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Who would like this? - Don't look at me!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Me, I suppose.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- NIGEL:- Yes, it is.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Good luck.- Thank you. It looks like it's me.- OK. Against which Egghead?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Um, I'll take Kevin, please. - Kevin on Arts & Books.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20When did you last do this, Kevin?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I have done it comparatively recently.- All right.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Good luck to you, Angie.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You have taken on the main man over there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Angie from Slann-Clan Plus One versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Please take your positions in the question room.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Well, Angie, good luck in this round.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Thank you. I think I might need it. - You work for the Open University?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Yes, I do, I'm a part-time lecturer for the Open University.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Does that mean you lecture in a virtual way?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Yes, I'm online most of the time.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I teach foundation design courses in the engineering programme,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57and, yes, my students have never seen me until now, I suppose.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Arts and books come into this? - Not at all, I'm afraid.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Did you say design?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Yes, design and materials in technology.- OK.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09All right, good luck against Kevin. He is quite a mean player.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I don't think he's mean, just good.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'll come back to you in five minutes on that, OK?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So, three questions, multiple-choice,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Angie, you can choose the first or second set.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I'll go for the first set, please.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Here we go. Your first question.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30Olga, Masha and Irina are the names of the sisters in which play?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36SHE SIGHS
0:14:36 > 0:14:37I'm afraid it's not one
0:14:37 > 0:14:40that I can straightaway give an answer to.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I have a feeling it will be Three Sisters.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Who's Three Sisters by, Eggheads? - ALL: Chekhov.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Chekhov. And it's the right answer. - APPLAUSE
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Three Sisters it is. Kevin, your question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Who wrote the 2010 novel A Tiny Bit Marvellous?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03A Tiny Bit Marvellous. I'm not aware of it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I know Dawn French has done a couple.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I think it's her, but I'm just having...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm just trying to rule out the other two.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm not aware of the other two having had books out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yes. Dawn French.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Dawn French is the right answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Angie,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23who wrote the 1920s novel All Quiet On The Western Front?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I know the story, I just don't know who wrote it!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Um... SHE SIGHS
0:15:37 > 0:15:44I can't put a context around any of the authors there.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I'm going to go for Erich Maria Remarque.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50100% spot on. Well done.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Erich Maria Remarque.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56OK. Your question.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00According to the poem The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02by J Milton Hayes,
0:16:02 > 0:16:07there's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of which city?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15There's a one-eyed idol... Yes, I think it's... OK. Um...
0:16:15 > 0:16:20I'm just making sure, because there are also poems involving Mandalay.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26But I think the one-eyed idol is to the north of Khatmandu.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Khatmandu is the right answer, well done. Two points each.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Angie, fend him off.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32I'll try.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Who wrote the 1909 futuristic short story
0:16:35 > 0:16:39The Machine Stops, in which civilisation grinds to a halt
0:16:39 > 0:16:42when the giant machine that controls it breaks down?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Er, EM Forster's Passage To India. Doesn't sound his sort of thing.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59Sounds very HG Wells to me, so I will make the answer HG Wells.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Chris? Anyone know this? - I'd go with Wells, yeah.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- It's not Wells. EM Forster is the right answer.- Ah, OK.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10OK, your chance to take the round, Kevin, if you get this right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Winter, Fifth Avenue is a famous photograph
0:17:12 > 0:17:15from the 1890s by which photographer?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Right, it doesn't ring any bells immediately. From the 1890s?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well, the real wild card is Clarence Hudson White.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36I just don't know... I don't know him.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think it's unlikely to be Edward Steichen,
0:17:40 > 0:17:46because he was born in 1876,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49which means in the 1890s...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55He could have been in his early 20s by the end of the decade.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02Alfred Stieglitz...was at the height of his powers then.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09And that's quite close to the point at which
0:18:09 > 0:18:11he set up the Photo-Secession Movement.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I think, with the proviso that the wild card is Clarence Hudson White,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21who I just don't know, I would go for our Alfred Stieglitz
0:18:21 > 0:18:25on the basis of him being at the height of his powers at that time
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and probably the most prominent photographer in the States
0:18:28 > 0:18:30at that point. So I'll go for Stieglitz.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It is Stieglitz, well done. You've taken that question,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and he is a mean player, isn't he, Angie?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38He gives so little away. Kevin, well done. You've taken the round.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Angie, sorry, you've been knocked out, as well. Please come back
0:18:41 > 0:18:42and rejoin your teams.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains
0:18:47 > 0:18:49from the final round, while the Eggheads
0:18:49 > 0:18:53have lost no brains, and our last subject before the final is Science.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- OK.- That answers all questions! - ANGIE: I would've liked it!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Yes, it's me, then.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Greg?- We will go with Greg.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Greg on Science against who?- Barry?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06- We've agreed.- Barry, please.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09OK, so it's Greg from Slann-Clan Plus One
0:19:09 > 0:19:11against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17So, Greg, Science is your thing?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Yeah, hopefully!- Because you're a student at the moment?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Yeah, studying mechanical engineering.- Right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- So that's all the physical side of science?- Yeah, hopefully.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Good luck getting into the final,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33otherwise your dad is going to be on his own. Three questions.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Would you like the first or the second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Here we go. The simple organism called an amoeba is formed
0:19:42 > 0:19:45from how many cells?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Um, I think I know that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm not very good at biology, but I think it's one.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55One is the right answer.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Barry, spiders, scorpions
0:19:59 > 0:20:02and mites all belong to which class of creatures?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Annelids are worms,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and amphibians are things like salamanders and newts,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15but spiders, scorpions and mites are all arachnids.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17They are all arachnids. Well done. One point each.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Back to you, Greg.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Which fruit comes from the tree Prunus armeniaca?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Um, this could be quite difficult.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I don't think it's gooseberry.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38I'm pretty sure it comes from a bush. I'm stuck between kiwi and apricot.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I think I'm going...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'm going to go for apricot, I think.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- But I'm not really sure at all. - Let's ask your mum. Angie?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Yes, I think he's right.- You're right, Greg. Well done. Nicely done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Barry, to keep up, in the standard layout of the periodic table,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01hydrogen and which other element are only members of the first period?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'm tempted to sing the Tom Lehrer song about the elements,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09but I won't. The answer to that is helium.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Helium is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15So, you're equal, Greg. You're playing well, though.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Who at the age of 47 is credited with being the oldest man
0:21:19 > 0:21:20to set foot on the Moon?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27This always does me,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29who stepped on the Moon. HE LAUGHS
0:21:29 > 0:21:33But I'm pretty sure it's Buzz Aldrin.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I'm hoping, at least!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Well, he did, but it's not the right answer here.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Alan Shepard was 47 when he set foot on the Moon.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Sorry, Greg, it gives Barry a chink of daylight.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48If you get this, you're in the final round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Which American evolutionary biologist wrote the popular
0:21:52 > 0:21:55science books Ever Since Darwin and The Panda's Thumb?
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Well, the only evolutionary biologist I recognise there,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08who wrote books about punctuated equilibrium,
0:22:08 > 0:22:09was Stephen Jay Gould,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13so, on that basis alone, I should go for Stephen Jay Gould.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Is the right answer, well done. You've taken that round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Greg, you've been knocked out, I'm afraid. If you come back to us,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21we will play the final.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It is time for the final round,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:31 > 0:22:33won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37So, Angie, Greg, Laurence and Taha from Slann-Clan Plus One,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Nigel, you're playing to win Slann-Clan Plus One £9,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,
0:22:48 > 0:22:53you're playing something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and you are allowed to confer, but, effectively, that's for them.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Nigel, the question is,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five, and would you
0:23:06 > 0:23:07like to go first or second?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I think I'll carry on. I'll go first, please.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Good luck to you, Nigel,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16the Slann-Clan are cheering you on.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21The approximately 300 square-mile plateau known as Salisbury Plain
0:23:21 > 0:23:22is in which English county?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29OK, well, if Geography had come up, I was going to go for Geography,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30so that's good.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's not up north and it's not Cheshire - it's Wiltshire.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Wiltshire is the right answer. Good, you got one point, that's great.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Eggheads, Pobol Y Cwm,
0:23:40 > 0:23:45the longest-running BBC TV soap, is based in which part of the UK?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- JUDITH: Wales? CHRIS:- Definitely Wales.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- We're going for Wales, Jeremy. - Wales is the correct answer.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03- What is the "cwm" in that? - That's "valley" in Wales. C-W-M.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Your question, Nigel.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Which comedian, later to become part of a famous double act,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13first appeared on stage with his father in an act
0:24:13 > 0:24:16called Bert Carson And His Little Wonder?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26OK, Ronnie Corbett is small, he could be Little.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Dudley Moore, I don't believe...
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I'm leaning towards Ernie Wise. Yeah, I'm going with Ernie Wise.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Would have been an easy one to slip up on.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Eggheads, which politician called George W Bush the Devil
0:24:43 > 0:24:47in a speech at the United Nations in 2006?
0:24:53 > 0:24:562006.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It could be Hugo Chavez.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01BARRY: I don't think Castro.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Why do you think it's Chavez? Because I think it's Chavez?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Well, from the politics.- Venezuela.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Castro was more or less out of it by then.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Vladimir Putin wouldn't.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15KEVIN: It's not Putin. BARRY: I think it must be Chavez.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21PAT: There has been personal stuff between Chavez and Bush.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Chavez and lots of people.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26KEVIN: It was about the time that Castro was calling it a day
0:25:26 > 0:25:29for illness reasons. I don't know it as such.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The percentage one is Chavez.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Do we want to try Chavez?- ALL: Yes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40OK, we're not sure of this, but we are going with Hugo Chavez.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Hugo Chavez is the right answer, Eggheads, so third question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49See if you can get this right, Nigel, and then maybe
0:25:49 > 0:25:54they will just collapse in a surge of their own contradictions.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Which American film director has written a book on the subject
0:25:59 > 0:26:03of transcendental meditation called Catching The Big Fish?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I enjoy Clint Eastwood, a good producer, a good actor.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I don't think it's Clint Eastwood.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I'm being drawn towards Quentin Tarantino.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I'll go for Quentin Tarantino.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - It sounds like David Lynch to me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30David Lynch is the right answer. David Lynch it was.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Let's see, Eggheads. If you get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37If you get it right, the contest is over.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The top stripe on the Colombian flag,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44which is double the width of the other two stripes, is what colour?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50My first thought was yellow.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53The more I think about that, more I think it's...
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I think it's a broad yellow band.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57KEVIN: Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Ecuador is the same, with different proportions, yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07I think it's yellow, blue and red, from top to bottom. Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12The stars on the Venezuelan flag are in the arc
0:27:12 > 0:27:15on the blue bit in the middle.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And the yellow is not at the bottom, so I think it's yellow.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22As you say, I've got a picture there.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It came straight to mind, the picture.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Everybody happy with yellow? - Yes, I think yellow.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We're going to go with yellow, Jeremy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Your answer is yellow.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Eggheads, yellow is correct. Three out of three,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and congratulations, you have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Bad luck, Nigel, you let them in there on the David Lynch,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and also with five of them there, it is particularly tough.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Commiserations to your team.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and their winning streak continues. I'm afraid it means
0:28:00 > 0:28:03you won't be going home with £9,000.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07The money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Who will beat you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:11 > 0:28:13have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£10,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
