0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers attempt to beat
0:00:28 > 0:00:31possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well known,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are The Punning Clan.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team of friends share a love of community theatre
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and they're all members of Dunstable Rep Theatre in Bedford. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Joe. I'm 51 and I'm a training manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Christine, I'm 33 and I'm a communications manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Ed, I'm 33 and I'm a project manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Julie, I'm 40 and I'm a training manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Richard I'm 39 and I'm a company director.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, Joe and team, welcome. And your love is theatre?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Yes, indeed, yes.- Tell us what sort of plays you have been doing.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We do a mixture. We do all sorts - comedies, farces, dramas.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We usually try and do something a little bit edgy and a bit creative.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We recently did a production of Turn Of The Screw which involved
0:01:22 > 0:01:24a big revolving stage.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25And, crucially, do you quiz?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29We quiz a bit. We have done quizzes with the Operatic Society
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and at the Little Theatre with Dunstable Rep.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Um, we actually won a quiz last year, which kind of surprised us.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And kind of got us together, really.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Because part of the prize was to set the next quiz.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So we all took a different subject area each and had to research it
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and present it back at the next quiz and be individual quiz masters.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- So we all had a go at your job, Jeremy.- OK.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Well, good luck in winning this contest. Try and beat them.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So, Punning Clan,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last 10 games,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12which means £11,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Shall we get started?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of sport.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- OK...- Is that good?- Oh, dear.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21LAUGHTER That was a joke.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's very good.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We had a conflab and everybody decided that I should do sport
0:02:26 > 0:02:28because I'm the only one that knows anything about it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Yes.- Quite a good reason. So, Joe from Punning Pl... I keep wanting to say Cunning Plan!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Against which Egghead? Who looks as if they are not sporty?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- I think CJ.- I think Judith.- OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- I'll take Judith on. - We'll go with you, then.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46So Joe from Punning Clan against Judith from the Eggheads on sport.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Judith, how did you manage to avoid sport for so long?
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Well, I don't know. But I wish I did know. Because it has failed now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Was it a special dance, a cauldron involved?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It was broadly smiling and looking confident.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, good luck in this round, both of you.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It is three multiple-choice questions on sport in turn.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Whoever answers the most questions correctly goes to the final.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16The other person gets knocked out. Joe, choose the first or second set.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26In December 2010 it was announced that the 2018
0:03:26 > 0:03:30men's football World Cup would be held in which country?
0:03:32 > 0:03:362018 World Cup, of course we did bid for.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Unfortunately, we got trounced by Russia.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Russia is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Will you be travelling over for the tournament, Judith?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- What do you think, Jeremy? - I don't think you will. OK.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Which Australian cricketer,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55who played in the 2010/2011 Ashes series,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59became known as The Rug because of his hairpiece?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Because of a hairpiece?- Yup.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, it could be any of them!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Um, I keep...
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Doug Bollinger's name keeps coming up. Maybe he had a hairpiece.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16I'm the same as you,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'm not really clear on cricket.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- But I just think that maybe Doug The Rug is the logic here.- Oh!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Doug Bollinger is the right answer. - I never thought of that!
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Doug The Rug.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Your question, Joe.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30In which year did Rory Underwood first play
0:04:30 > 0:04:33test match rugby union for England?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Rory Underwood, how old is Rory Underwood?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42His brother has played as well...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I don't think it can be 1984,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48because I think he's got to be a bit older than that.
0:04:50 > 0:04:541976 sounds too early. So I think I'm going to have
0:04:54 > 0:04:57to plump down the middle for 1980.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- It's not, actually, it's 1984. - Really?- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So, Judith, you have a chance to take the lead
0:05:04 > 0:05:06in a sporting round.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Which boxer defeated Mike Tyson in 1996,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12only the second time that Tyson had been beaten
0:05:12 > 0:05:14in his professional career?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21He bit Evander Holyfield's ear off, didn't he?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Maybe he bit it off
0:05:23 > 0:05:28because he was so cross that Evander Holyfield had beaten him?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think I'm going to say Evander Holyfield,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34just in case it's to do with the ear being bitten off.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Daphne, you don't think so? - No, I thought it was Buster Douglas.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, yes. But you're wrong.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- James "Buster" Douglas was the first defeat.- Oh, right!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47You got it spot on, Judith, there.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I don't know at what point the ear was bitten off.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It was obviously during the match,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55whether he was winning or losing at that point, I don't know.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59But Evander Holyfield won the bout. OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Two to Judith and one to you, Joe. Here is your third question.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06You need to get this one right. In 1973, which race horse became
0:06:06 > 0:06:10the first to win the US Triple Crown for 25 years? Was it:
0:06:14 > 0:06:211973... The one that is looking familiar there is Secretariat.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25But then Omaha is an American name, isn't it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Um...
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I'll go with my initial instinct, I suppose. Which was Secretariat.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Secretariat is the right answer. Well done.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38OK, your question, Judith.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41If you get this wrong, it's sudden death.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Laurence Godfrey, Alan Wills and Simon Terry
0:06:44 > 0:06:47all represented Great Britain in which sport
0:06:47 > 0:06:50at the 2008 Summer Olympics?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Um, I don't know.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Um, what about archery?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04How do you do that? How do you do that?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- I go down the magic right. - The Keppel technique?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10It's come good. Archery is right.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So three out of three. There was never a reason
0:07:13 > 0:07:15to worry about sport, Judith, after all that.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17You have won the round. Joe, sorry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You have been knocked out by Judith.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And if you both come back to us, we will play the next round.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- You did well there, Judith. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Considering that you didn't really know any of them, did you?
0:07:27 > 0:07:32No, I was very, very lucky. There's an awful lot of luck in quizzing.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, while the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Early days, though. The next subject is science.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Who would like science?- Who is doing science, guys?- Ed or Richard.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I am happy to go with science.- OK...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- They both want to go. - I'll give it a go, why not?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- So, who do we want to pitch against? - Well...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Don't know.- Richard on science.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Which Egghead? Can't be Judith. - So what do we think, then?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- They're all trying to look scientific!- They are all too good at science, aren't they?
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- OK, captain, what is your suggestion? - What do you think, Joe?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- We will go for Kevin.- Go for Kevin? - OK.- OK. All right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Aiming high. So Richard from The Punning Clan on science,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18versus Kevin from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So, Richard, you are the lighting man with the theatre company?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- I am, yes. Wrong side of the camera, really.- Good luck. It is science.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Against Kevin. Kevin has won 24 of his last 25 rounds on science.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- So if you take him apart, you will be going some.- Excellent.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40A lot of people seem to go first and a lot of people seem to lose.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42So I'm going to go second.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Kevin, your first question.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Gazelles are native to which parts of the world?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Well, they are definitely in...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I'm just double-checking. They are definitely in Africa,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04so that is obviously going to be... Yes. Africa and Asia.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Africa and Asia is correct. On to you, Richard.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12For what does the letter M stand in the acronym CD-ROM?
0:09:16 > 0:09:22Ooh...CD-ROM is CD version of read-only memory. So, memory.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Memory is quite right. One point each. Kevin,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29in the human body, which substance is transported in the blood
0:09:29 > 0:09:33by high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, transported in the system would imply that it's not bone marrow.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I don't think it's anything to do with adrenaline.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44The prefix lipo refers to fat.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So I am assuming this is cholesterol.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Cholesterol is right. Well done. Richard, over to you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Second question.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55What were the forenames of the German physicist Fahrenheit,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59who invented the mercury thermometer in 1714?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Ooh... I would much rather tell you his surname.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Let's have a look at this one. Let's go for...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- I'm going to go for Joshua Michael. - Kevin, what's the answer?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Daniel Gabriel. - Daniel Gabriel is the right answer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Difficult one to get. No way of guessing that one, is there, Kevin?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26No, no. You either know it, or...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- You've either come across it or you haven't.- OK.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Your question. If you get this right, you have taken the round.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36What does an autoclave use for sterilising surgical instruments?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Hmm. I'm not sure. Sulphuric acid doesn't sound likely.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I am assuming pressurised steam.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Pressurised steam is correct.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Kevin, you've taken the round.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Sorry, Richard. He knocked you out.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00After his three questions, there is no way back for you.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05So he will be in the final and you won't be. Do please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10So the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14The Eggheads have still not lost a brain. The next subject is film and television.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Who would like this?
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Right, then. Step up. Who is doing it?- I'll do it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Julie? Yes?- Julie? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Obviously, it can't be Kevin or Judith.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Any advice?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33No, not that I can think of.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Daphne was smiling so beautifully,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I would like to play against Daphne.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42That smile has lured many people.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46So, Julie from The Punning Clan against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53OK, so three questions on film and TV in turn.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Julie, choose the first or second set of questions.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK. I would like to go second, please.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Daphne, here we go.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Kate Winslet, Patrick Stewart and Orlando Bloom
0:12:07 > 0:12:10all appeared in which TV comedy series?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Ah! I think it was Extras.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Extras is quite right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Julie,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26the TV series The Royal
0:12:26 > 0:12:29was mainly set in what type of establishment?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34OK. "Mainly set".
0:12:34 > 0:12:40From what I have seen of it, I believe it was a hospital.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Julie, well done. You're absolutely right. It is a hospital.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Here is your question, Daphne.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Who provides the voice of the super-villain Megamind
0:12:50 > 0:12:54in the 2010 film of the same name?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, crumbs...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Will Ferrell.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Will Ferrell is right.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Very good. OK, Julie.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Which Friends actor played the character Herbert Sobel
0:13:15 > 0:13:19in the 2001 TV series Band Of Brothers?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25See now, this is really interesting,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28because my friend Katie loves Friends.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And will know this answer really easily.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37So, I don't believe that it is Matthew Perry nor Matt LeBlanc.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm going to go with David Schwimmer.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44You've done it very deliberately and you are absolutely right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49David Schwimmer it is. So two points each. OK, let's see if you can
0:13:49 > 0:13:51take the lead, Daphne. Here is your third question.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56The film director Peter Weir was born in which country in 1944?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well, I hope it's not a catch question,
0:14:03 > 0:14:08but I always associate him with Australia, so that's my answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Australia is the right answer. Three out of three.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- She is a difficult one to beat, our Daphne, Julie!- I know!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Maggie Smith received the first Oscar nomination of her career
0:14:20 > 0:14:24for her performance in which 1965 film?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That's an interesting question. Um...
0:14:37 > 0:14:40the one that I definitely know she is in is
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47So I'm going to go with The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie
0:14:47 > 0:14:49and keep my fingers crossed.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- It's wrong, I'm afraid. Any Egghead know?- It is Othello.- Othello?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56What was she doing in Othello?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Dying beautifully in the arms... She was Desdemona.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01She was Desdemona in Othello, Julie, I'm afraid.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Daphne takes the round. Three out of three.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06And you have been knocked out as well.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Please both of you come back and we will play the next round.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So, as it stands, the challengers
0:15:12 > 0:15:16have lost three brains from the final round. Any change of tactic?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17- No.- Strategy?- No!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20We didn't have one to start and we haven't got one now.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The Eggheads have lost no brains, but we have one more subject
0:15:23 > 0:15:25before the final. It is Geography.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Who would like Geography?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Are you happy to go with that? - Yeah, I'll take that.- Ed? OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Ed against which Egghead? It can either be CJ or Pat.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Toss of a coin, really.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- You decide.- We'll go Pat. - OK, Pat's the man.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Go Pat? OK. Pat's not been out of the continent ever.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47No. It's a crying shame, something should be done about it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48LAUGHTER
0:15:48 > 0:15:52So Ed from the Punning Clan against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Please take your positions.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So, Ed, you were in a production of Singing In The Rain?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- I was, yes. - Playing how many characters?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Six different characters.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You think you could play all the Eggheads?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07As long as I didn't have to answer too many questions.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10So each of you gets three questions on geography and, Ed,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12choose the first or second set.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I think I'll go first, please.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Here we go. Which English city
0:16:19 > 0:16:23is home to a variety of small passages, alleys and footpaths
0:16:23 > 0:16:25collectively known as snickelways?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30OK, well, I've been to York
0:16:30 > 0:16:35and I think something similar is called The Shambles,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37so I don't think it's York.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I've also been to Coventry and I don't remember that.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I've not been to Winchester.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So I'm going to go for Winchester.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I would have gone exactly the same as you
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and I would have been wrong as well. York, it is.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Pat, your question.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Guyana in South America has a coastline on which ocean?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Guyana lies on the northern coast
0:17:06 > 0:17:09of the South American continent,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11giving it an Atlantic coastline.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Atlantic is the right answer, Pat. Well done.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15OK. Ed, your question.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20The scenic 17-Mile Drive is a feature of which US state?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27OK, so I've been to Arizona,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30but I don't think it's there.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I have also been to California and I think it might be in California.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm going to go for California.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- California is correct.- Yay!
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Pat, your question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Which two colours feature on the Saudi Arabian flag?
0:17:47 > 0:17:52I think the Saudi flag is a solid green with the...
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Is it the Muslim profession of faith in white letters?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So I think it's green and white.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Green and white is correct. So you have two points, Pat.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05And that means
0:18:05 > 0:18:07you need to get this one right, Ed.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12In which country is the active Tungurahua volcano located?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Well, I've never been to South America
0:18:19 > 0:18:21but I'm assuming that
0:18:21 > 0:18:23it's going to be...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27one around the mountains
0:18:27 > 0:18:29on the...west side.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34This is where my geography on South America
0:18:34 > 0:18:36lets me down slightly.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I think I'm going to go for Chile.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Let me see if Pat knows. Pat?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I suspect it's in Ecuador,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46not far from Quito.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Because Ecuador's got a lot of volcanoes?- Oh, chock-a-block.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Ed, it is Ecuador. I'm sorry, you've been knocked out as well!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56So every one
0:18:56 > 0:18:59of our great players here has been knocked out by an Egghead.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Pat will be in the final. Ed, you won't.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05If you both rejoin your teams, we will play the final round.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09This is what we've been playing towards, the final round,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11which as always is General Knowledge.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:13 > 0:19:16can't take part in this round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20So Joe, Ed, Julie and Richard from the Punning Clan,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22would you please leave the studio?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Well, good luck, Christine.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You're playing to win the Punning Clan £11,000.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Pat, Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:41 > 0:19:43and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45So, Christine, the question is,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- And will you go first or second? - I think I'll go first, please.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Here we go. Good luck. Your first question.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Which monarch awarded Sir Francis Drake his knighthood?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06OK, that's...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11I'm pretty sure that having
0:20:11 > 0:20:14read a lot about Elizabeth I and seen a few films about her life
0:20:14 > 0:20:17which obviously aren't necessarily all completely factual,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm going to go with Elizabeth I.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Is she right, Eggheads?- Yes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26100% right. Well done, Elizabeth I.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Eggheads, your question.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29In the 1820s,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Constable painted a view of which structure from the Bishop's Ground?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Salisbury.- The cathedral?- Salisbury.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- He did quite a few views... - The famous faulty rainbow?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Yeah, a few views of Salisbury Cathedral.- Salisbury Cathedral?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Um, we think that's Salisbury Cathedral, Jeremy.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Salisbury Cathedral is correct.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52One point each.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Over we go to Christine.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58What is the name of Ophelia's brother
0:20:58 > 0:21:00in the Shakespeare play Hamlet?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08OK. Shakespeare's something I'm actually quite in to
0:21:08 > 0:21:12and I've seen about four or five productions of Hamlet,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15so I'm fairly confident that that is Laertes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19The thespian side comes in handy here, doesn't it?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Laertes is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25OK, Eggheads. Your second question, to catch up.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Christian is a middle name of which child
0:21:28 > 0:21:31of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Andrew.- It's Andrew, isn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Andrew. It's definitely Andrew.
0:21:38 > 0:21:45Edward is E-A-R-L, and it spells out "Earl".
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Edward Antony Richard Louis.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It's not Prince Charles, it's Andrew.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51It's Andrew Albert Christian Edward.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Yeah. So it's Prince Andrew.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That is Prince Andrew.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01And it is indeed Andrew Albert Christian Edward.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well done for knowing that. Prince Andrew's the right answer.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So, two-two. OK, Christine.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Get this one right. Put the pressure on.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11That sheen of confidence
0:22:11 > 0:22:14may only be shell-thick.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Here's your question.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19In which year were Uri Geller, Andre the Giant,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden born?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Wow.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Erm, I'm trying to think how old Uri Geller is,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40because Uri Geller's the only one I could confidently place, I think.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Erm...
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I think I'm going to go with 1956.
0:22:50 > 0:22:531956 is your answer.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54What about the others?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Andre the Giant, and Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Andre the Giant was a wrestler who became an actor.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I think Carl XVI Gustaf,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07he came to the throne of Sweden in '73.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10And I think he was pretty young.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Early 20s maybe, so I'm thinking '51,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17but I don't know it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Mm. The answer's actually 1946.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Uri Geller ,therefore, is well into his 60s.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Eggheads, if you get this one right, the contest is over.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The actress Emma Watson,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34who found fame playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37began studies in 2009
0:23:37 > 0:23:39at which American university?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Oh, God.- Oh, dear.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Is there any reason why Brown is there?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Obviously, it's an Ivy League university.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Girls go to it.- Well...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think if I'd read it,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and it had been Princeton, it would have sort of stuck.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06A bit lame, really, but my remote guess would be Yale.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I would have gone for Princeton.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10What does Pat think?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Pat is inclined towards Yale cos if it was the other two,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- he might have...stuck.- OK.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17My instinct was Yale.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Easiest one to forget,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22being such a big, whopping university,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25while the other two are slightly more quirky.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Are we happy with that?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30We don't know it, so we have to...
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Erm, I'm sure she's a wonderful student, but I'm afraid
0:24:34 > 0:24:35it passed us by when we read it.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37But we will try Yale.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41You'll try Yale? None of you know. That's right, isn't it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You all had suggestions. What was yours, Judith?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Brown.- Did anyone listen to you?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Not many.- No-one seemed to be listening to you at all.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52You're the only one who was right. Brown is the answer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54The only reason I said it is girls tend to go to Brown.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, you said it.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00So, equal after three questions.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03We go to sudden death. It gets harder. I need the answer from you.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I don't give you alternatives. Are you ready?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Which French city, famous for its aircraft industry,
0:25:09 > 0:25:14is the capital of the Haute-Garonne department?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16(OK).
0:25:16 > 0:25:21I'm now thinking of all the French cities I know.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26None of them spring to mind as being famous for their aircraft industry.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Erm...
0:25:28 > 0:25:31For no other reason than it's a French city,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm going to go with Bordeaux.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36It's not Bordeaux.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Toulouse...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Toulouse.- ..is the answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Which stage musical features the songs
0:25:44 > 0:25:47We Need A Little Christmas
0:25:47 > 0:25:48and Bosom Buddies?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's not that Avenue Q, is it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Nothing to do with Annie?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- I thought Annie, when I heard it. - You thought what?- Annie.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Annie was my first thought.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Doesn't Christmas come into that,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03into Annie?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I've never seen Annie.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Bosom Buddies.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- We Need A Little Christmas, and what?- Bosom Buddies.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Cos she meets FDR, doesn't she?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I'm thinking maybe the "Christmas" is to do with the orphanage.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I don't know why I'm thinking this.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I really don't, cos I've never seen it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25I haven't,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28but just go for Annie.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30THEY CONFER
0:26:30 > 0:26:34OK. If we'd got the last one right, we'd be on a perfect game,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36but we're not sure about this one, either.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38But we're going to try Annie.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's not Annie.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41It's Mame.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- ALL: Mame.- M-A-M-E.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Mame.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You're up against all five Eggheads.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You're holding them on sudden death. There's £11,000 to play for.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You're not beaten yet. Here is your sudden death question.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56In Greek mythology, Pygmalion,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59who fell in love with an ivory statue,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01was king of which island?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05If you'd asked me what my worst subject would be,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08probably it would have been Greek mythology.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12So I'm going to choose a Greek island.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Crete?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Cyprus is the answer.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Your question, Eggheads, for the contest.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24The designer and architect Marcel Breuer,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27best known for his furniture designs, and buildings
0:27:27 > 0:27:29like the Whitney Museum in New York,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31was born in which country?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Hungarian. - He was Hungarian. Hungary.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36He was born there?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I think we're on slightly surer ground here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We think he was born in Hungary.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Well, you were playing, as you said, CJ, a perfect game.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48You got three out of three in every single round until the final.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You very nearly lost the jackpot.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53But you're right. It IS Hungary.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04How did that feel, going toe-to-toe with them ?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07That was quite challenging!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Crete, Cyprus? You could have equally said Cyprus.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I know, yeah. Probably would have been my second guess, actually.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You mustn't think about Uri Geller again, at all.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18SHE LAUGHS Thank you for reminding me(!)
0:28:18 > 0:28:19You did well. Commiserations to you.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22The Eggheads did what comes naturally.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Their winning streak continues. You won't be going home with £11,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Join us next time, to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:35 > 0:28:37have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40£12,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
