0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads. Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:40are Don Quizote.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45This friends and family team regularly attend the quiz at their local pub,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Bar Mio in Southport.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 23 and a European Studies and Spanish student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 20 and I'm a fashion student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ruairi. I'm 24 and I'm a phone advisor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Mark. I'm 45 and I'm a project manager in the civil service.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Pete. I'm 42 and I'm a local government officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Welcome, Don Quizote!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Are you fans of Spanish literature?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I've spent a lot of time studying it at university.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21OK. We have two pairs of siblings. Chris and Laura
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and then we've got Mark and Pete.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- You're brothers?- Yes.- Ruairi?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- You're their mate? - Pretty much, yeah!- Sometimes!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Yeah!- OK, then,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32let's play the Eggheads today.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So, Don Quizote, the challengers won the last game,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45which proves it can be done.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49It also means just £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54So, our first head-to-head battle today is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Who'd like to play this?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I'll give it a shot if nobody wants to do it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- OK.- If nobody's going to do it, I'll do it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Yeah.- I'll do it. I think!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10OK, Ruairi. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- I don't fancy any of them!- I don't think it matters on this.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Yeah.- I'll play Barry.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Yeah, let's play Barry, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So Ruairi and Barry playing the opening round. Arts & Books.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Could you both please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ruairi, you must have read a book or two in your time?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- One or two, but I'd leave it at one or two!- Oh, no!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's hope the one or two you've read come up here!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Here you go. The Pardoner, The Reeve and The Franklin
0:02:51 > 0:02:54appear in which important work from English Literature?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59OK. I don't know it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05The Canterbury Tales I know were a lot of tales
0:03:05 > 0:03:09so maybe they pop up somewhere in the Canterbury Tales.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14They do. Well identified. Characters that feature in Canterbury Tales.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17First question for Barry.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21In which language is the Bayeux Tapestry annotated?
0:03:24 > 0:03:31It was made by Bishop Odo, William the Conqueror's half-brother,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34to celebrate the conquest of England in 1066
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and the language, I believe, is Latin.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You know it's the right answer. Latin.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Back to Ruairi.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Following a request by Francis Bourgeois,
0:03:44 > 0:03:50a public art gallery was designed and built by Sir John Soane in which part of London?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Right. OK.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Unfortunately for me, it'll have to be an uneducated guess.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Although I can't explain it, I'm drawn to Dulwich.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Dulwich. Uneducated guess or not,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10it's the right answer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Other members of Don Quizote very happy about that.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK. Barry, what was the real first name
0:04:19 > 0:04:22of the novelist who became famous as Wilkie Collins?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Ooh! I've never heard of him as anything other than Wilkie Collins.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32He was the writer of the first detective story.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37It could have been Wilberforce because that was a name at the time.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43I don't know this one but I'll go down the middle and go for William.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Wilkie Collins, his real first name was William. Right answer.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well done. Ruairi's got two already.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Get this and who knows what might happen.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Who wrote the 2010 novel Solar?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03OK. I haven't read this either.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK. Solar.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'll go for Ian McEwan.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's the right answer again, of course!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well!
0:05:21 > 0:05:22What a guesser!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Barry.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What name is given to the literary device
0:05:26 > 0:05:30of repeating a word or phrase at the beginning of successive lines or clauses?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Sir Winston Churchill was very fond of using this device.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It's an anaphora.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45"We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the hills." That sort of thing.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It is the right answer. So it's all square.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51We go to Sudden Death. Ruairi,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55guessing is a lot harder because you won't see anything to have a guess at.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58You'll have to conjure it up yourself. Here's your question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Dog Half-Submerged, painted around 1821 is a work by which Spanish artist?
0:06:07 > 0:06:111821. No, I don't really have an answer.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The only painter I'd say is Salvador Dali.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15But that's later.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Salvador Dali, as you know, is later.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Good to have a guess. But not Salvador Dali.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Chris, in your studies have you come across Dog Half-Submerged?- No.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- I didn't.- OK, no worries. Do you know, Barry?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29- Is it Goya?- Correct.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Francisco Goya. Dog Half-Submerged.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37OK, you win the round, Barry, if you know this.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Which American writer recited her poem On The Pulse of Morning
0:06:41 > 0:06:45at Bill Clinton's first inauguration as US President?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Hmm.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm thinking Toni Morrison or Maia Angelou.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I think it was Maya Angelou.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Maya Angelou is the right answer. Yes. Well done, Barry.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Right in the end, but stiff opposition from Ruairi.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04That was Daphne-type quizzing!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08What, lots of guessing? Bad luck, Ruairi. Good work,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but not in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Don Quizote had a tilt at Barry,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17but failed to dislodge him.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19One brain missing for you from the final.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23No Eggheads gone yet. Our next subject, subject two is...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Who'd like to play this?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Can't be Ruairi. Any of you other four.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29DISCUSS QUIETLY
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- I'll take it, please, Dermot. - Politics for Chris. Who would you like from the Eggheads?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52It can't be Barry. Any of the other four.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54This isn't my strongest subject by far.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58If I'm going to get beaten by anyone, it might as well be Kevin!
0:08:00 > 0:08:06- Why's that then?- No disrespect to the others, he's just a machine!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Won the World Quiz Championship four times!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11That's proven there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Let's have Chris and Kevin into the Question Room for Politics.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Chris, to get a handle on how good you are at this subject,
0:08:20 > 0:08:21not your favourite,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- are you as good at this as Ruairi was at Arts & Books?- Er...
0:08:25 > 0:08:30We'll see, won't we? I think I can have a stab.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll stick with first, please.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39First question, best of luck.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Jacob Zuma, elected president of South Africa in 2009
0:08:44 > 0:08:47became the leader of which party in 2007?
0:08:51 > 0:08:59Well, I think from those the only one I recognise would be the ANC.
0:08:59 > 0:09:06I may be wrong, but I believe that's the African National Congress.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I have to go ANC.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11ANC. South Africa's main party. It all fits.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12It's the right answer.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14The African National Congress.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Kevin, in the 2010 general election,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Caroline Lucas was elected the first English MP for which party?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27They concentrated their efforts cos they thought they had a good chance.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29They were right. She's a Green.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Right answer. Caroline Lucas, Green Party.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Back to you, Chris, for your second question.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36In the 19th century,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39what nickname was given to various US presidents
0:09:39 > 0:09:42who supposedly came from humble beginnings?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I can't say I've heard of any of them.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Log cabin presidents doesn't sound right to me.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01For some reason, I'll try farmhand presidents.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Please.- Farmhand presidents.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07It's not farmhand. Kevin, do you know?
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Yes, log cabins were the types of homes that settlers on the frontier lived.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17There was much talk of people having risen from humble origins,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Lincoln being the prime case.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- So log cabin presidents. - Log cabin presidents.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Next question for Kevin.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Which European country voted for a new democratic constitution
0:10:29 > 0:10:30in 1978?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I'll double-check on this for a second.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's not Italy, because Italy's been a democracy
0:10:40 > 0:10:45although not a terribly functioning one since after World War II.
0:10:47 > 0:10:53Greece had its problems with being ruled by the Colonels.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59From 1967... I'm sure there was a vote on a constitution
0:10:59 > 0:11:06in Spain in 1978. Franco died in 1975. Juan Carlos took over.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Democratic government came in.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- So Spain.- Spain '78.- Yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15It's the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Wasn't there an abortive coup in the early '80s?
0:11:19 > 0:11:27'81, yeah. Colonel Tejero and his men burst into the parliament and sprayed bullets about.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I've done a tour of the Cortege, and you can still see, a few years back,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34you could still see the bullet holes in the walls.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39OK. There we are. You need to get this one correct. Chris,
0:11:39 > 0:11:44in which year was the so-called Arms to Iraq report published by Sir Richard Scott?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I'll be honest, I really don't know.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I'm thinking around 1990
0:12:02 > 0:12:07there was a lot of conflict in that region.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So I'd like to think it would have been 1992.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12OK. '92.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I suppose referring to the Iraq War in 1991.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21It took a long time, this inquiry. It's '96. The Scott Inquiry.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Which means we end the round there, Chris.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30It turned out not to be a round you enjoyed. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33This is the situation now.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Two Don Quizotes missing from the final round. No Eggheads gone.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Let's have a look at our next head-to-head. This one is Sport.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Who'd like to play Sport? Laura, Mark, Pete?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50This was between me and Chris. Chris has been knocked out, so it's me!
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Alex.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Judith, Pat or Chris?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01DISCUSS QUIETLY
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'll take Chris on at Sport, please.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK, just to confirm that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Mark playing Chris. The subject is Sport.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18Can I ask you both please to take your positions in the Question Room so there's no conferring.
0:13:19 > 0:13:26- Mark, do you want to go first or second?- We agreed we'd stick with first.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So I'll stick with the team plan.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34First question. What name is generally used
0:13:34 > 0:13:38for the piece of equipment a snooker player can attach to a cue
0:13:38 > 0:13:40in order to reach a distant white ball?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I'm fairly confident on this one, I think.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51When I played years ago, it was a long piece of wood
0:13:51 > 0:13:54that you had to get somebody to help you lift onto the table.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58But now they have screw-in ones they add to the cue.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's called an extension.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Yes, good start.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Chris, in the US, what name is given to the rows of uncovered benches
0:14:08 > 0:14:11for spectators of football and baseball games?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Because they're exposed to the full glare of the sun,
0:14:17 > 0:14:18they're called bleachers.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yes, bleachers is correct.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Second questions for both of you. Mark's first.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31Ian Watmore resigned as Chief Executive of which sporting body in 2010?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Now...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think there's been some trouble
0:14:39 > 0:14:42in this place over the last couple of years
0:14:42 > 0:14:45where people haven't held on to their jobs for very long.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'm going to go for the Football Association.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Football Association.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Ian Watmore. Eggheads?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Right answer. Well done.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Chris,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03which team won Rugby Union's Six Nations tournament in 2010?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I haven't seen many jubilant Scots around the place!
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Italy are the new boys, unlikely to have won it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15France.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18It's good that you work it out that way.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It is the right answer. France.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Of course. OK. Mark.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25In which Asian country
0:15:25 > 0:15:28is the Test cricket venue of Mirpur?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35OK. Now, I've watched quite a lot of Test cricket over the years.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Seen a number of series in India.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42I can recall England travelling to a number of places in Pakistan.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45That name doesn't ring a bell in either of those countries.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Bangladesh are the new boys on the block, so I'll go for Bangladesh.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Haven't heard of it in relation to India or Pakistan
0:15:53 > 0:15:55so think it must be that process of elimination.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59The Eggheads do that very well. We saw Chris doing that just now.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03That's given you the right answer as well. Yeah.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06In the lead.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Chris, crucial question.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13Whom did Martina Navratilova beat in the final the first time she won the Wimbledon title?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21I think Billie Jean King and Evonne Cawley, or Goolagong, as she was originally,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24were too far back in the '60s
0:16:24 > 0:16:29for Navratilova, so it's got to be Chris Evert.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Yes, too far back, but in the '70s.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36But right, yes, Chris Evert is right. That's who she beat.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40OK. It's all square so we go to Sudden Death,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44as you saw Ruairi do. Here's your Sudden Death question.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50The rugby union player Justin Marshall earned 81 international caps for which country?
0:16:50 > 0:16:56Justin Marshall. A name that unfortunately doesn't spring to mind.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58International rugby union teams.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I'll have a stab at Australia.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Close, but the next-door-neighbours. New Zealand.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Chris.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15At which English cricket ground did Ian Botham take five wickets for one run in 28 deliveries
0:17:15 > 0:17:18to defeat the Australians in a 1981 Test match?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Something is saying to me Edgbaston.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It is the right answer, Chris.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Edgbaston. Mark, you knew that as well?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I'd have had a good stab at that one, yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Mark, it was unlucky the way those questions fell.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37It means you won't be in the final, Mark. Please come and join your teams.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43So, as it stands now, Don Quizote have lost three brains from the final round
0:17:43 > 0:17:49and the Eggheads are intact. Our last head-to-head before the final is Film & Television.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Who'd like to play this?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- I'll play this!- She's on the edge of her seat!
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Excited about that, Laura? OK. You can play Judith or Pat.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- It's up to you.- Who do you want to knock out?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08It's up to you. I don't think it makes a lot of difference now!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11OK. I'll go with Pat.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17OK. Let's have Laura and Pat, Film & Television. Into the Question Room, please.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Laura, we need to get you into the final round to back Pete up.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Yep.- Knocking Pat out would be an added bonus as well.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll stick with first, like the rest of my team.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Even if it hasn't worked out so far, I'll give it a go.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41All right. First question for you, then, Laura.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Which characters from children's television lived in caves under a lighthouse?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I know it's not the Rugrats.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58But I don't really know about the other two.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I have a recollection of something about Fraggle Rock.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So for that reason I'll go for Fraggles.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08That's the right answer. Well done. Fraggle Rock.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Those caves.
0:19:10 > 0:19:17Pat, who played the title character in the 2010 romantic comedy film The Bounty Hunter?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I haven't seen this film.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29They're all reasonable candidates for the job.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Now that I think about it,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37there was a film involving Gerard Butler which was a revenge film.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Not sure if it was The Bounty Hunter.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42But I'll say Gerard Butler, without much confidence.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Gerard Butler is correct.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47OK, Laura. Your question.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Which Hollywood legend is credited as saying
0:19:51 > 0:19:55that he had two acting styles - with, and without, a horse.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I'm not going to lie, I don't have a clue.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I'm going to take a stab in the dark at John Wayne.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09John Wayne.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Seems like a potential. But it's not John Wayne,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15it is Robert Mitchum.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Robert Mitchum.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19With and without a horse.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21You take the lead if you get this, Pat.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25In 2009, Leslie Ash joined the cast of which TV drama
0:20:25 > 0:20:28playing a character called Vanessa Lytton?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I used to watch Holby City, but haven't watched it recently.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I've only seen a tiny bit of Hotel Babylon.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Again, it's just a punt.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'll go for Waterloo Road.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- It's not. Other Eggheads? - Holby City.- Holby City.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So, no damage done, Laura.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Get this and you just might win the round.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01The 1957 World War I film Paths Of Glory stars Kirk Douglas
0:21:01 > 0:21:03as a soldier in which country's army?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It's another one I don't know.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15I don't think it's Italy. I don't know why.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I'm going to go straight down the middle and go for France.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21France.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Sounding despondent. Maybe the fact it's right will cheer you up.- Yes!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29OK.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30You need to get this, Pat.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Todd Armstrong played the leading male role in which 1963 film?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'll have to have a blind guess, I think.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I have a vague memory of each of those films.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47But I haven't watched any of them recently.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I'll go for Jason and the Argonauts.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's the right answer, yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Bad luck, Laura. He had a guess.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- But to be fair, yours was a guess. - Yes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00OK. Sudden Death again.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05You saw what happened to your team mates. So no options for you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09In which decade did Elizabeth Taylor marry Richard Burton for the first time?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Which decade?- Just need the decade.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. When did they get married for the first time?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Again it's going to be a guess.
0:22:21 > 0:22:28And for no reason at all I'm going to say the 1960s.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Slipping it out there. You're saying the 1960s.- Yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- OK. That's correct.- Yes!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That means you've got to get this, Pat.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Which British film maker received Best Director Oscar nominations
0:22:42 > 0:22:45for Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader?
0:22:45 > 0:22:52There's a batch of contemporary British film directors whom I keep confusing.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Michael Winterbottom, Stephen Daldry.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Stephen Daldry sounds like the man for this job.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's correct, yes. Stephen Daldry.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08So, on we go.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Great round. Laura, who was the narrator
0:23:11 > 0:23:15of the classic 1960s US TV show, The Fugitive?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- I don't think I can even hazard a guess.- Not keen on that one?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- You're going to pass?- Yes, I am.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Pat, do you know? - Was it William Conrad?- Yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Not your question, of course. This is.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32What is the name of the 1997 film
0:23:32 > 0:23:37set in a zoo which reunited many of the cast members of A Fish Called Wanda?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I think that's called Fierce Creatures.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44That is correct. Yes, Pat.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Fierce creatures.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48All your luck seems to have been used up. Bad luck, Laura.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Not to be. You won't be in the final. Please come back and join your teams.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08So, Chris, Laura, Ruairi and Mark from Don Quizote,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10would you leave the studio, please?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Pete, you're playing to win Don Quizote £1,000.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,
0:24:17 > 0:24:22you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The questions are all general knowledge and you may confer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Pete, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Will you go first or second?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38It's got to go right one time, so I'll go first.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Let's hope so. OK, Pete, first question.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49The word lurgy, usually preceded by dreaded and used to describe an infectious disease
0:24:49 > 0:24:51was popularised by which comedy team?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I don't know the answer for sure,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03but I do know it's definitely not one of them.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's definitely not Not The Nine O'Clock News.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11So it's now between The Goons and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Neither of which I'm a fan of, I have to say.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm just trying to think of the dreaded lurgy.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24For some reason, I don't know why, I'll go with The Goons. I don't know why.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26OK, The Goons for dreaded lurgy.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Chris?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31It is most certainly The Goons, you silly, twisted boy!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Thank you!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It is The Goons. Well done. Good start.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39One on the board.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Eggheads, in Native American culture, what is a wikiup?
0:25:46 > 0:25:51It's one of the various types of North American Indian dwelling.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55It's one of the various types of North American dwelling.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Dwelling is correct. A wikiup. OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Pete off the mark. Let's add to that.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07For what does the letter R stand in the abbreviation IBRD,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09a member of the World Bank Group?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Right. Well, I don't know the answer to this one.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm guessing it's to do with... IB being International Banking.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28For some reason, I don't know why I don't think it's reconstruction.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34And I'm going to go with rescue.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Close, but not the right answer.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41The IB you nearly got. It's the International Bank for Reconstruction
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and Development. IBRD.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Let's see how the Eggheads do with their second one.
0:26:46 > 0:26:53The Who released an iconic 1970 album that was a recording of their concert at which university?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Leeds? - I think it's got to be Leeds.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Leeds.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- Leeds is correct. Were you there, Barry?- Sadly not. I wish I was!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Yes, Leeds as I said. Let's confirm that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10So you need to get this, Pete.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15In which century did the European emperor Charlemagne die?
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Well, absolutely no idea whatsoever.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Anything to do with history was possibly the worst question I could get.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- I don't know. I'll take a complete stab and say the 12th.- OK.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36The death of Charlemagne.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Eggheads, is he right?- 9th.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It's the 9th. Bad luck, Pete.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It means the Eggheads have won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- It's always tricky in the final round if you're on your own.- Yes.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56The breadth and depth of knowledge against you. Hope you enjoyed it.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It's been great fun, Don Quizote. How there are four people behind you, I don't know
0:28:01 > 0:28:05because some of you I thought would get through to the final.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09The Eggheads were clinging on after a loss not long ago
0:28:09 > 0:28:13so they really dug in and you bore the brunt of that backlash.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Thank you for taking on the Eggheads, Don Quizote.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they reign supreme over quiz land once again.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26You won't be going home with £1,000. So the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:34 > 0:28:36to defeat the Eggheads. £2,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
